True, and overall it might be bad. But I think ...5. True, and overall it might be bad. But I think see a popular confusion between income inequality and income immobility.<br /><br />14. Did anything contradict your impressions about people? For me most of it was basically what I would have accepted, but I was a little surprised to see 60% think the death penalty is morally acceptable.<br /><br />Let's make a list. I'll start putting mine up with some thoughts.<br /><br />18. I did listen to it. I was struck by how not science this is. Storytelling is supposed to be how English majors talk about society, not scientists. Ha!<br /><br />20. :)Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248125800491388232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833124982971476266.post-38280189987536116092020-01-06T10:26:21.855-08:002020-01-06T10:26:21.855-08:005.

I'd rather get my million now than when I'm 50 because that money will affect all of the additional years.<br /><br />14. Interesting! I was looking for a particularly intriguing pair but seriously, it all looks screwy to me. It might be fun to put them in order of "most acceptable" to "least acceptable" using our personal moral compasses.<br /><br />18. Sad that such things are misrepresented. Reminds me of a recent Rationally Speaking episode about the Stanford Prison Experiment (did you know it was basically totally staged??):<br />"Here it is, I have a quote from an author of the textbook Learn Psychology. His name is Kenneth Carter. He's a professor of psychology at Emory. And he said, "Even if the science was quirky” -- that word quirky really rolled my eyes -- "Even if the science was quirky, or there was something that was wrong about the way that it was put together, I think at the end of the day, I still want students to be mindful that they may find themselves in powerful situations that could override how they might behave as an individual. That's the story that's bigger than the science."<br /> That really… I just sank into my chair when I read that. That's just… what's the point of doing science, if it's all about the story anyway?" <br />http://rationallyspeakingpodcast.org/show/rs-241-thibault-le-texier-on-debunking-the-stanford-prison-e.html<br /><br />20.
