130 years ago, the architect, visionary, and writer Buckminster Fuller was born. Fuller developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome structural shape, which he most famously used to design the Montreal Biosphere. Soaking with honors, awards, and appointments, Fuller published 30 books in his life, invented numerous words, and […]

Next was "How Emotions are Made" by Lisa Barrett. This is best thought of two books - the first, up to chapter 8, is a revelatory look at the category error we've made around understanding emotions, revealing through a wide variety of experiments and research how emotions are constructed in real time as an act of categorization - they don't "exist" anywhere in the body. The less said about the rest the better

👨 Misogyny is the ‘gateway drug’

As a researcher looking at digital extremism and gender-based violence, I’ve analyzed more than 100 manifestos written by people who carried out mass shootings, stabbings, vehicular attacks and other acts of ideologically, politically and religiously motivated violent extremism in Canada, the United States and beyond.

These attackers may not belong to formal terrorist organizations, but their writings reveal consistent ideological patterns. Among them, one stands out: misogyny.

From the editorial of the new #PCI#Psychology (https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/m456e_v1):

> "The barrier to expanding the list of PCI-Friendly journals is not us. We are happy to work
with any reputable journal that is willing to work with us. Rather, the barrier is the for-profit
publishing industry, academic societies, and researchers’ own investment in the current system. The barrier is the unwillingness to give up control, the unwillingness to move from a system of closely-held power by the few to a more distributed system of power among the many.“

Hear, hear!

I fully support PCI Psych. As explained in my personal reviewing policy (https://www.nicebread.de/posts/reviewing_policy.html), I will devote my reviewing and editing contributions nearly exclusively to diamond #OA and community-driven publication initiatives.

'AI is the future, get used to it.'

'AI isn't going anywhere.'

'AI is here to stay, you better learn how to use it to your advantage or you'll be left behind.'

Without arguing the relevance of AI itself, this language is self-defeating and assumes all people will believe they're not in control of the very tools they create and use.

On a psychological level, I believe this type of language is incredibly dangerous - regardless of the topic at hand.
