Well, as a sociology teacher working with psychologists in my current research I get why they decide this.
Politicians like them can't rule over people even slighty aware of how political discourse and mass manipulation operate.
The medium is the massage. ;)
Baudrillard? Just found out it was this guy.
Yup. I've always loved that he liked the error on his book title so much, he kept it. And the book is pretty good as well.
:)
I mean, the psychology and sociology fields have been manipulated by those wanting to push their own beliefs through pseudoscientific bibles like the DSM, and through non-reproducable studies- probably around 1/3 psychology and sociology studies. Not to mention rampant P-hacking
This can't be true, can it? I know that ads are manipulating me, but that doesn't magically make it stop working. I'd I never see a gay couple or a black person, no amount of reading will suddenly make it more "normal" to me when I do see them.
You underestimate your own brain
That’s some inception ish.
I really don't understand what you're trying to say.
I've never seen two conjoined twins in my life. But if I ever get to bump into one, I'm not going to act differently. Surprised? Sure, but not like "WOW WTF?!!!!!" and pointing at them, laughing at them, asking them stupid questions, etc.
Do you know why? Because I am educated. And I'm assuming you are too.
Try getting out more. Maybe go to a Pride event. You'll meet awesome people and assholes, but you'll also gain respect and empathy for people who are marginalized. It can be scary to go into unknown worlds, but discovery is practically a human instinct.
