Re:[tips] Conspiracy theorists

2013-03-13 Thread Allen Esterson

On 12 March2013 Chris Green listed several conspiracy cannots, including 
thefollowing:
Aminority man cannot have been elected president
by amajority of American voters, therefore...
 
Here'sanother conspiracy theory, this time from the field of science. According 
tothe PBS website accompanying the documentary Einstein's Wifebroadcast in 
2003, in regard to Einstein's three celebrated 1905 papers:
Eventoday, with the aid of super-computers, it is hard to
imagine thatany scientist could produce so much significant 

work, on such widelyvaried topics, within a single year. Yet
Einstein did it withoutcomputers, while he was working full 

time. Or did he? 
 
The answer,according to Einstein's Wife, is no, he did not work alone on 
the1905 papers, his Serbian first wife Mileva Marić was actually 
co-author.Moreover, according to the British sociologist Hilary Rose, Einstein 
has to beheld culpable for withholding recognition of Mileva's contribution to 
the[1905] achievement (Love, Power andKnowledge: Towards a Feminist 
Transformation of the Sciences (1905, p.143); reprinted in Women, Science, 
andTechnology: A Reader in Feminist Science Studies (2001, p. 56) But the 
conspiracy goes wider than that,according to the much-cited Swiss linguist 
Senta Troemel-Ploetz: If itwere not for the cultural imperialism of the US 
academic establishment, itmight be known in Princeton what is known in Novi Sad 
[the Marić familyhome town]: Einstein-Marić was the scientific collaborator of 
her husband(Mileva Einstein-Marić: The Woman Who Did Einstein's Mathematics, 
Women's Studies International Forum,vol. 1, no. 5, pp. 415-432, 1990).
 
The claim,if not the conspiracy angle, has been recycled in several books over 
recentyears by authors with respectable academic credentials, though the 
numerousfactual errors promulgated in their writings have to be seen to be 
believed (or,rather, disbelieved!).
 
If I mayblow my own trumpet here, Sage Open has just published my detailed 
rebuttal ofHilary Rose's claims that covers the main contentions purporting to 
demonstratethat Mileva Marić contributed to Einstein's 1905 papers:

P.S. Anacknowledgement: A fellow TIPSter, Stephen Black, has to be credited 
withigniting my interest in following up the Mileva Marić story with his 
posting on TIPSway back in 2005 when he linked to this nationally syndicated

Hypothesis:When you are unable to accept that an obvious fact is true (either 
because itis too emotionally painful, or because it contradicts prior beliefs 
that youregard as imperative), the only explanation is that it has only been 
made toseem true by a hidden conspiracy.
 
Aninspirational political leader cannot have been silenced by a lone

It is no guarantee for sure!  But are such cases as Donderi rarer than among

I had a quick glance around and it appears belief in extra-terrestrial life 
(UFOs??) is unrelated to education or somewhat higher for highly educated 
people (field not specified in the surveys I found).  Also somewhat higher in 
at least one survey for non-believers ... perhaps a kind of secular religion.

And of course UFOs constitute another area of conspiracy theories.

As a callow undergraduate at McGill, I took a course in the
psychology of learning from a young professor (we were all young back
then) who impressed me with his intelligent, logical, and
evidence-based approach to psychology. This man was rigorous! This
psychology was science!

I'm sorry to have to report that he has recently surfaced in the
news, after a long and distinguished career at McGill, with a new
book asserting the reality of alien abduction.

I'm afraid that even skilled knowledge of statistics and research
methods is insufficient to protect against such beliefs.

[tips] Inattention blindness, gorillas, and knives

2013-03-13 Thread sblack
We recently discussed  the finding that radiologists are unlikely to 
spot gorillas in their x-rays readings. 

I made the point that this is what we want from our radiologists, 
because if they ignored gorillas, they might be more likely to detect 
cancer in the X-rays.  I called the proposed phenomenon attention 
eagle-eye, which coining should really be attention eagle-eyedness 
to make it comparable to inattention bliindness (but clumsy).

http://www.mail-archive.com/tips%40fsulist.frostburg.edu/msg09600.html

Anyway, I see this issue now coming up with the firestorm over the 
USA's Transport Security Administration to allow small knives on 
planes. One argument to justify this is that such searching distracts 
them from their critical task in identifying really dangerous stuff. 
(I thought I heard this argument being advanced by the TSA, at least 
in radio news, but all I can come up with is arguments relating to 
efficiency and expense, e.g. http://snipurl.com/26lj6eg ).

But it may be that screeners freed from the need to look for 
penknives will be better able to detect what really counts. Shouldn't 
we have some data on this?

and high schools, who wish to enhance their teaching of psychology and expand 
their teaching skills through, workshops, lectures, and participant idea 
exchanges on successful teaching strategies and techniques.  In addition, MATOP 
fosters the development of valuable teacher networks that further strengthens 
the continued support of good teaching and professional fellowship. 
Registration is $75.00 before October 10. On-site registration is $90.00 Early 
registration (by September 1, 2013) is $50.00. Registration for presenters is

As much as it pains me to say something nice about Boston, O'Malley
is my choice, primarily because of his humbleness and apparent good
sense.  I don't like Dolan.

Or else someone used the wrong smoke. No word yet on
who it is but in about 45 minutes we should know (if the white
smoke wasn't a mistake).

So go back to work now. ;-)

What I got from the Wikipedia article is that there are places in the world 
where you have to be licensed to be a philosopher.

 From the Wikipedia entry on Pope Francis (boy, those folks are fast!):
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Bergoglio
 |Jorge Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires, one of the five
 |children of an Italian railway worker and his wife.[2] He
 |received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of
 |Buenos Aires, then studied at the seminary in Villa Devoto.
 |He entered the Society of Jesus on 11 March 1958. Bergoglio
 |obtained a licentiate in philosophy from the Colegio Máximo
 |San José in San Miguel, and then
 
 Got to break in here and say wait for it.
 
 |taught literature and psychology at the Colegio de la Inmaculada
 |in Santa Fe, and the Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires.
 
 OMG! A Pope that TAUGHT PSYCHOLOGY!
 
 See, I run rings around you logically!
 
 |He was ordained to the priesthood on 13 December 1969, by
 |Archbishop Ramón José Castellano. He attended the Philosophical
 |and Theological Faculty of San Miguel, a seminary in San Miguel.
 |Bergoglio attained the position of novice master there and became
 |professor of theology.
 
 A PROFESSOR!  WOW!
 
 Well, maybe you are right and this has nothing to do with teaching.
 
 But just in case I miss the point:  A new Minister of Transport was
 announced in Cape Town today .  not Zulu- but Xhosa-speaking (do not
 forget the clicking sound).  She is doing a good job with promoting
 traditional medicine and she looks, well . African. Very humble as
 well.  Btw, she's from Ngqamakhwe in the Eastern Cape, which I also
 prefer to Boston.
 
 Hmm, has she taught a Psychology of Transportation course? ;-)
 
 Okay, okay  it must be my blood sugar ?
 
 Eat a Snickers(tm) bar.  You're not yourself when you're hungry. ;-)
 NOTE: Do Canadians get this TV commercial up in the Great White
 North?
 
 Regards from this side of the ocean.
 
 Yeah, the same to you.
