You Listen Most to the Experts Who Disagree With You

As a result, you often have to listen to the advice of experts as you form opinions. What kind of expert opinion has the biggest influence on your attitudes? You might think that you are most inclined to be affected by experts who agree with you. After all, there is a lot of research on that suggests that we tend to focus on information that confirms our hypotheses about the world. An interesting paper in the January, 2012 issue of by Jason Clark, Duane Wegener, Meara Habashi, and Abigail Evans suggests that the opposite may be true. Batman: Anarky. Featured as an antagonist in various Batman comics during the '90s, stories based on the character were highly thematic, political, and philosophical in tone.

Batman: Anarky

The majority of the collected stories ("Anarky in Gotham City", "Anarky: Tomorrow Belongs to Us", "Anarky") are influenced by the philosophy of anarchism, while the final story ("Metamorphosis") is influenced by Neo-Tech. Although anti-statism is the overarching theme of the collection, other concepts are explored. Anarky's characterization was expanded throughout the stories to present him first as a libertarian socialist and anarchist, and in the final story as a vehicle for explorations into atheism, rationalism, and bicameralism.

Literary references are also utilized throughout the collected stories to stress the philosophical foundations of the character.

Is Inequality Natural?

President Obama calls income inequality a defining issue and Mitt Romney tells us that the nearly half of the US population who don’t make enough to pay income taxes are failing to take responsibility for themselves. Even without election season and a flurry of statistics to remind us, the vast majority of us realize that that the USA is a pretty unequal nation . El asambleísmo, es antidemocrático?

Presented in partnership with Nick Hanauer, self described "super-rich" entrepreneur, gave a fantastic TED Talk about how the middle class—not the super-rich—are the real job creators.

BREAKING: You Know That TED Talk You Weren't Supposed To See? Here It Is.

But TED, which has released over 100 different political videos in the past, thought this one was too partisan and refused to release it. We normally love TED, and were surprised they didn't think this talk was TEDworthy. Under pressure from the internets, TED finally relented and released the video. Watch it and decide for yourself if it's really all that controversial to say that the "super-rich are not job creators. " The National Journal led the initial charge pushing the controversy angle.

Charismatic Leadership: The X-Factor in Politics and Religion. People around the world seem to agree on which leaders possess that mysterious X-factor leadership quality: charisma . Jesus and Buddha had it, and so did Churchill, De Gaulle, FDR, Gandhi, JFK, Reagan and Clinton. Obama had it when he was running for president, but I am not sure whether he still has it or has somehow lost it. I am fairly sure that none of the Republican Candidates have that X-factor of leadership, charisma.

What is charismatic leadership? The Social Psychology Behind the Hunger Games. A great way to teach our students important theories and concepts in psychology is through the use of fiction. Drawing from plots and themes of well-known novels or movies can help them gain insight into important psychological phenomena such as memory ( Memento ), autism ( Rain Man ), leadership ( Braveheart ) or prejudice ( The Color Purple ). I remember, as a psychology undergraduate student, being taught a class on Group Dynamics with the aid of William Golding's famous novel Lord of the Flies .

The story is about a group of British school boys stuck on a desert island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results. Week by week we would discuss important social psychological concepts such as power, status, leadership, conformity, and intergroup conflict and connect them to important events happening in the book as the story unfolded. Does True Altruism Exist? Altruism has been thought of as an ego defense, a form of sublimation in which a person copes with his anxiety by stepping outside himself and helping others.

By focusing on the needs of others, people in altruistic vocations such as medicine or teaching may be able to permanently push their needs into the background, and so never have to address or even to acknowledge them.

Los violentos disturbios ocurridos en Inglaterra no deben ser vistos como un fenómeno aislado. Son un perturbador signo de los tiempos. Sin darse cuenta, las sociedades contemporáneas están generando un combustible altamente inflamable que fluye en los subsuelos de la vida colectiva. Cuando llegan a la superficie pueden provocar un incendio social de proporciones inimaginables. Se trata de un combustible constituido por la mixtura de cuatro componentes: la promoción conjunta de la desigualdad social y del individualismo, la mercantilización de la vida individual y colectiva, la práctica del racismo en nombre de la tolerancia y el secuestro de la democracia por elites privilegiadas, con la consiguiente transformación de la política en la administración del robo “legal” a los ciudadanos y del malestar que provoca.

El Movimiento por la Democracia Participativa ante los Acuerdos de Paz. Filosofía Política para Principiantes. La isla de las flores. Sobre la miseria en el medio estudiantil. Internationale Situationniste Transcripción íntegra de la traducción de Carme López (Barcelona, Icaria, 1977) del texto publicado por UNEF, Strasbourg 1966. Darwin’s Psychology. At the height of the banking crisis in 2009, the CEO of Mellon Bank, one of the beneficiaries of the massive taxpayer-funded bank bailout, had the gall to tell a PBS interviewer "Capitalism works; Darwinism works. " His chutzpa in the middle of an economic disaster was a particularly flagrant example of how Darwin's name, and his theory, have been exploited as propaganda for a , "survival of the fittest" model of capitalism.

The roots of what has come to be known as "Social Darwinism" can be traced back to the robber baron era in the latter nineteenth century. The idea that the economy of a successful capitalist society amounts to a cut-throat competitive struggle, much like what was supposed to be the case in the natural world, was inspired by the British social theorist Herbert Spencer. Darwinismo social. Politics. Las Derechas y las Izquierdas. Sobre las “dictaduras comunistas” Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice. There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Does a low IQ make you right-wing? That depends on how you define left and right.

By Michael HanlonUPDATED: 11:55 GMT, 8 February 2012 Predetermined: Children with a higher IQ tend to grow up with more socially liberal views (posed by models) So right-wingers are stupid – it’s official. Psychologists in Canada have compared IQ scores of several thousand British children, who were born in 1958 and 1970, with their stated views as adults on things such as treatment of criminals and openness to working with or living near to people of other races. They also looked at some US data which compared IQ scores with homophobic attitudes. The conclusion: your intelligence as a child correlates strongly with socially liberal views.
