"The Quacking of Ducks"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 29 minutes ago
*"The Quacking of Ducks"* by Eric Peters "Here’s the trouble. Most people can’t read… and so, can’t *think*. Not quite literally, perhaps. But, meaningfully. They have been taught – very deliberately – to be sloppy and fluid with words. A given word has a vague, constantly shifting meaning – that meaning transmitted and accepted by a kind of semi-conscious collective osmosis. You “get the drift” – and the word is henceforth used accordingly. It is not necessary to formally announce the new meaning. It just sort of happens. Examples include liberal and fascist. A liberal was once a ... more »

*"The Illusion of Truth"* by PsyBlog "We see ads for the same products over and over again. Politicians repeat the same messages endlessly (even when it has nothing to do with the question they've been asked). Journalists repeat the same opinions day after day. Can all this repetition really be persuasive?

Juxtaposition

Unknown at Accidental Deliberations - 34 minutes ago
The effect of the perpetual fear of falling downwards on ideology: As far as there are forces at play that push job losers to the right of the ideological spectrum, these forces appear trumped by other pressures that pull job losers to the left. Indeed, while we do observe many people who revise their ideology to the right during our study window, these rightward shifts do not seem directly driven by job loss experiences. This finding aligns well with other recent work suggesting that the success of right-wing populist parties is primarily fuelled by *fears* of economic hardship, as... more »

Synthesis or Revolution

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 hour ago
When “thesis” and “antithesis” collide, then there is either a “synthesis” or a “revolution”. The collision can happen in any particular domain of activity, but if it happens at massive scale, on a cultural and political level, then the philosophers and politicians, who want the *status quo* to continue, work tirelessly to develop a synthesis between the thesis and antithesis—they pursue the idea of achieving a synthesis between the old and the new as a holy cause. But there will be philosophers and politicians who will want a total transformation for a variety of reasons—they could ... more »
