@glukianoff Dangerously close to thought police, especially if you use AI discursively as your ‘system 3’ extended mind to think things through… Not smart.

@SteveStuWill @ProfByron The Bell Curve cast a long shadow - not much found today in many undergraduate psych courses/text books on IQ, apart from claims that IQ tests are useless.

@emollick Canary in the coalmine. Time to turn on the ‘only people I follow can comment’ setting?

@DaveVoelkerPhD @CJFerguson1111 You can discount social desirability bias, but not sure you can avoid it unless the subject/respondent doesn’t know they are being observed. Projective techniques are still performative.

@sbkaufman @jean_twenge The power of (changing) context. The fundamental attribution error is indeed fundamental. We are all cultural chameleons.

@newstart_2024 We said the same about paper. Vector of bad ideas, bad habits, antisocial behaviour - people with their nose in books rather than interacting with others.

@chamath Student IQ scores in US have been falling for over 50 years (at least in college) - Correlation is not causation.

@emollick Not convinced? I’ve found this approach; LLMs as conversational thought partners, not cheating tools, as the only solution works in higher ed - but only for those motivated by cognitive engagement. Those open to cognitive surrender will just cheat themselves out of an education…

@emollick Interesting, primed to adopt the perspective of a psychologist, Gemini 3 Pro suggests Sylvia Plath’s ‘Mirror’.

@kevinroose Not usually the fault of academics, but academic publishers and their sclerotic review process, where reviewers are either not paid or so poorly paid that it’s not a priority. No one week review, and by the time a study is published it’s obsolete.

@emollick Or how about a flamboyance - as in a flamboyance of flamingos. Much nicer.

@acagamic Semantics, but I’d say focus on the problem, not the pain. The human mind is a problem solving device - research is a problem solving activity. Framing a paper around the problem, and its consequences can be a good attention hook.
