POPSWhere are we heading? And then we see how the poor get poorer and the rich richer. some of it is because of different priorities and beliefs. I for once do not understand why to bring more when you have less.

POPSPerception is contextual "The findings extend previous research into social emotion processing by showing that specific expressions in faces are processed differently in the human brain depending on the personality of the individual and the social context where the faces are perceived." i think these findings are "enlightening" :) a given human perception, interprets the signals according to the biases this perception is built from.

POPSSocial Science is not Science "Their desire to hold on to that illusion causes them to resist many sorts of new information which conflict with their ideas. That is very human, but it ain't science. Indeed, what goes on in the social sciences would make for a fascinating sociological study." I have long held the view that social sciences are profound bullhockey, if I may use a technical term. If you research the foundations of these "disciplines" you will find that they are all based in a materialist foundation and seek to confirm that foundation through the masterful manipulation of descriptive and inferential statistics. It is time we recognize that sociology and much of the psycho-pop babble we are subjected to is nothing more than materialist propaganda.

POPSPsychology, Sociology most politically correct fields The first thing that Simmons does in the study with the database — which covers a range of disciplines and institution types — is to identify a politically correct cohort, reflecting largely common views on a set of issues that are seen as defining political correctness. He finds a set of issues that produce this cohort. The views are the belief that gender gaps in math and science fields are largely due to discrimination; support for affirmative action; and belief that discrimination is a key cause of racial inequities in American society. Generally, members of this cohort see race and gender as fundamental — and share that belief much more than beliefs about the curriculum or scholarship, such that the study says that “multiculturalism trumps postmodernism.” Via Tyler Cowen

POPSIs Google Making Us Stupid?
Does surfing the Internet trigger attention deficit disorder in our brains, so that we have to struggle to focus enough to read in depth or for longer than a couple of minutes at a time? Must we flip through the Internet as quickly as some people flip through TV channels, afraid, or unable, to pause long enough to read more than a few paragraphs--if that much? The author of this article (which you should read in its entirety if you can concentrate that long) relates how difficult he found it to sit down and read a book again, and notes: "In an era in which everyone has a truth and the means to fling it around the world, an era in which knowledge is increasingly broad but seldom deep, maybe that's the ultimate act of sedition: to pick up a single book and read it." I still read books, but not as many as I used to prior to being caught up in the world wide web life. Lately I haven't even read the free e-book that I receive in emailed installments. Blame it on Google-- :?

POPSSpinning New Tales To The Rapt Media Clowns
thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party. Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party's Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members. The New Party's modus operandi included the political strategy of "electoral fusion," where it would nominate, for various political offices, candidates from other parties (usually Democrats), thereby enabling each of those candidates to occupy more than one ballot line in the voting booth. By so doing, the New Party often was able to influence candidates' platforms. (Fusion of this type is permitted in seven states -- Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont -- but is common only in New York.) http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2008/05/barack-obama-ran-on-marxist-party-line.
