A Guide to Looking Smart on the Internet: How to Find and Evaluate Online Information

Each day we encounter hundreds of news articles and blog posts talking about science. For many of us, scientists cannot seem to make up their minds and everything is controversial. If we take a look at any one of the polarized issues in public science debates such as vaccines, GMOs, or climate change, two sides both present an abundance of scientific literature.

If we look at both sides of the literature, we see that there are reputable professionals on each side and the research on both sides seems just as thorough as the other.

WAKE UP! We are all ONE - Change YOURSELF to change the World. Modern science is now beginning to confirm what spirituality, philosophy, sages, ancient teachings and psychedelics have been saying for millennia: the entire Universe is One and what we think of as "reality" is just an illusion; the only real thing in the Universe is Consciousness.

“If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.” -Niels Bohr, Nobel Prize in Physics 1922 “The total number of minds in the universe is one.” -Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Prize in Physics 1933 “A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed.

Sean Carroll Refutes Supernatural Beliefs. Toward the First Revolution in the Mind Sciences. Wheaton's Law. About Wheaton’s Law is an internet axiom which states “Don’t be a dick.”

Wheaton's Law

It was originally used in the context of sportsmanship in online gaming but its scope was eventually expanded to apply to life in general. Origin The axiom was coined by American actor and writer Richard William Wheaton III (Star Trek: TNG) during his keynote speech at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in August 2007. One of the core messages of Wheaton’s speech was the importance of sportsmanship in online gaming, which eventually became encapsulated in the phrase “Don’t be a dick.” The keynote speech and his proposition were met by positive reception from the audience and the webcast viewers at home, as well as significant coverage from a number of well-known geek culture blogs like Ars Technica, 1UP, and Joystiq. ג'ארד דיאמונד: מדוע תרבויות מתמוטטות.

Cognitive bias about one's own skill The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their own ability, and that people with high ability at a task underestimate their own ability.

Dunning–Kruger effect

As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the bias results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".[1] It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from people's inability to recognize their lack of ability.
