Psychology Today: Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature: "Women often say no to men. Men have had to conquer foreign lands, win battles and wars, compose symphonies, author books, write sonnets, paint cathedral ceilings, make scientific discoveries, play in rock bands, and write new computer software in order to impress women so that they will agree to have sex with them. Men have built (and destroyed) civilization in order to impress women, so that they might say yes."

A UFO at O'Hare? Some pilots thought so - Yahoo! News: "A UFO at O'Hare? Some pilots thought so

Mon Jan 1, 6:58 PM ET

CHICAGO - Federal officials say it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon, but a group of United Airlines employees swear they saw a mysterious, saucer-shaped craft hovering over O'Hare Airport last fall.

The workers, some of them pilots, said the object didn't have lights and hovered over an airport terminal before shooting up through the clouds, according to a report in Monday's Chicago Tribune.

The
Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged that a United supervisor had called the control tower at O'Hare, asking if anyone had spotted a spinning disc-shaped object. But the controllers didn't see anything, and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said.

'Our theory on this is that it was a weather phenomenon,' Cory said. 'That night was a perfect atmospheric condition in terms of low (cloud) ceiling and a lot of airport lights. When the lights shine up into the clouds, sometimes you can see funny things.'

The FAA is not investigating, Cory said.

United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said company officials don't recall discussing any such incident from Nov. 7.

At least one O'Hare controller, union official Craig Burzych, was amused by it all.

'To fly 7 million light years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable,' he said."

Two factor theory of emotion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two factor theory of emotion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Two factor theory of emotion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The Two Factor Theory of Emotion is a social psychology theory that views emotion as having two components (factors): physiological arousal and cognition. According to the theory, cognitions are used to interpret the meaning of physiological arousal in a particular situation. Because cognitions are influenced by the situation, the theory predicts that elements of a person's environment can have a significant impact upon their emotional state, provided that the reasons for any physiological arousal are ambiguous."

Smart Graduate School Applications :: How To Get Started On Anything: "How To Get Started On Anything

There’s an experiment called the “High Bridge Study,” that was conducted in 1974 that led to the Two Factor Theory of Emotion, which is a contemporary theory in social psychology that attempts to explain the link between physiological response and human emotions. The study was setup as follows:

…an attractive female experimenter asked male passersby to complete a brief survey. She intercepted potential subjects either at the end of a bridge or on the bridge itself. The footbridge used was long, narrow, and spanned a deep ravine. Following the survey interview, the experimenter gave the subjects her telephone number in case they had further questions. The dependent variable in this experiment was the number of telephone calls received from the subjects after the experiment."

Computers Contributed by Mike on Monday, November 21st, 2005 @ 02:37AM
from the seems-like-an-important-question dept.
Boeing has admitted that a laptop containing private info on 161,000 current and former employees was stolen recently. The data was basically all of the info necessary to do direct deposit of paychecks: names, birth dates, Social Security numbers and, yes, bank account info. The company points out that there's a good chance the thief just wanted the laptop to sell, and has no clue about the information on the machine. That's sort of missing the point, isn't it? The real question is why Boeing keeps such information, unencrypted, on an easily stolen laptop? The company also claims this isn't that worrisome because 'the computer did not have sensitive company information stored on it.' Of course, it would seem that the 161,000 people whose information is now at risk might disagree about just how 'sensitive' the information on the laptop really is. The company's stance seems to be that the sensitive info on its employees isn't the company's sensitive info -- but that seems to show a stunning disregard for the fact that these employees are what make the company valuable.

New Scientist Breaking News - Meditation builds up the brain

New Scientist Breaking News - Meditation builds up the brain: "They found that meditating actually increases the thickness of the cortex in areas involved in attention and sensory processing, such as the prefrontal cortex and the right anterior insula.

“You are exercising it while you meditate, and it gets bigger,” she says. The finding is in line with studies showing that accomplished musicians, athletes and linguists all have thickening in relevant areas of the cortex. It is further evidence, says Lazar, that yogis “aren’t just sitting there doing nothing'.

The growth of the cortex is not due to the growth of new neurons, she points out, but results from wider blood vessels, more supporting structures such as glia and astrocytes, and increased branching and connections."

On Friday, the world's second-biggest record label pledged to temporarily stop making CDs that leave computers vulnerable to security breaches. This is a step in the right direction, but it does not go nearly far enough toward correcting a serious ethical lapse. In fact, it is proof positive that Sony is unworthy of our trust or our business."

When great thinkers think about problems, they start to see patterns. They look at the problem of people sending each other word-processor files, and then they look at the problem of people sending each other spreadsheets, and they realize that there's a general pattern: sending files. That's one level of abstraction already. Then they go up one more level: people send files, but web browsers also 'send' requests for web pages. And when you think about it, calling a method on an object is like sending a message to an object! It's the same thing again! Those are all sending operations, so our clever thinker invents a new, higher, broader abstraction called messaging, but now it's getting really vague and nobody really knows what they're talking about any more. Blah."

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Business (Banana Skinned): "In 1986, Silo (a chain of home electronics stores) ran a television commercial in 23 markets nationwide, offering stereos for '299 bananas.' They never thought anyone would take them at their word; after all, 'banana' is a widely accepted, if playful, term for greenbacks. Who could possibly mistake one for the other? Thirty-two customers held the retailer to its unwitting word — they showed up bearing loads of the yellow fruit and demanding the store keep its end of the
bargain. "

Rob Neyer: "The second 'spin' -- and this is what’s revolutionary, perhaps -- is the motion of the upper arm. This differentiates from Mike Marshall’s Newtonian model and demands a forceful yet controlled rotation of the humerus. To get the idea of this in your head, hold your arm out so that your upper arm (humerus) is parallel to the floor. Have your forearm at a ninety-degree angle and hold the ball so that the ball is between your hand and your ear. The proper second 'spin' is done by rotating the upper arm so that the forearm goes from pointing up to pointing down and the hand goes from pointing in at the body to pointing away from the body (pronation) just after the release of the ball.

A cognitive analysis of tagging

2005-09-28T12:01:00.000-07:00

A cognitive analysis of tagging: "A cognitive analysis of tagging
(or how the lower cognitive cost of tagging makes it popular)

At the start, let me confess that I struggled with this topic. From my first encounter with tagging (on systems such as del.icio.us & flickr), I could feel how easy it was to tag. But it took me a while to understand the cognitive processes at work. What follows is Rashmi's theory of tagging - my hypothesis about the cognitive process that kicks into place when we tag an item, and how this differs than the process of categorizing. In doing so, my hope is to explain the increasing popularity of tagging, and offer some ideas regarding the design of tagging / categorization systems.

My ideas are mostly based on my observations about how people tag and relating it to on academic research in cognitive psychology and anthropology. This is a first version, which I expect to revise as I learn more. Feedback is very welcome.

The rapid growth of tagging(1)in the last year is testament to how easy and enjoyable people find the tagging process. The question is how to explain it at the cognitive level. In search for a cognitive explanation of tagging, I went back to my dusty cognitive psychology textbooks. This is what I learnt.(2)

Categorization is a 2-stage process."

by Mark Townsend Houston
Sunday September 25, 2005
The Observer

It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Experts who have studied the US navy's cetacean training exercises claim the 36 mammals could be carrying 'toxic dart' guns. Divers and surfers risk attack, they claim, from a species considered to be among the planet's smartest. The US navy admits it has been training dolphins for military purposes, but has refused to confirm that any are missing.

Dolphins have been trained in attack-and-kill missions since the Cold War. The US Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have apparently been taught to shoot terrorists attacking military vessels. Their coastal compound was breached during the storm, sweeping them out to sea. But those who have studied the controversial use of dolphins in the US defence programme claim it is vital they are caught quickly."

Tides that I tried to swim against

Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that cant be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing

You are

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know singing

Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are, you are, you are

And nothing else compares

You are

Home, home where I wanted to go"

Words never listen

But I feel too cold to burn
He came from an island
And he died from the street
He hurt so bad like a soul breaking
But he never said nothing to me
So say hello to heaven

New like a baby
Lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold ground was your bed
Poor stargazer
She's got no tears in her eyes
Smooth like whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seems like too much love
Is never enough, you better seek out
Another road 'cause this one has
Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven

I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things we'll never do
So I blow out the candle, and
I put you to bed
Since you can't say to me
Now how the dogs broke your bone
There's just one thing left to be said
Say hello to heaven"

The first is that effective learning requires purpose and meaning. This purpose and meaning can, in many instances, be obtained by concentrated self-development focused on developing combinations of abilities that enable us to make a unique contribution.

The second is that effective learning requires a long-term vision. In all organizations the short-term incentives neglect critical aspects of our development. By developing and constantly reinventing a compelling long-term vision we are able to ensure that we develop and learn in the most effective ways possible, even when those ways are in contradiction to the established short-term incentives.

The third principle is that one of the most effective ways of changing deeply ingrained habits and establishing new behaviour is to either create a social environment that will promote the behaviour we’re trying to learn.

Agenda Inc. Live Feed: "London Zoo opens a human exhibit Alt. marketing

huma0805.jpg An interesting idea with alternative marketing potential...

From Associated Press - Caged and barely clothed, eight men and women monkeyed around for the crowds Friday in an exhibit labeled 'Humans' at the London Zoo. 'Warning: Humans in their Natural Environment' read the sign at the entrance to the exhibit, where the captives could be seen on a rock ledge in a bear enclosure, clad in bathing suits and pinned-on fig leaves. Some played with hula hoops, some waved. Visitors stopped to point and laugh, and several children could be heard asking, 'Why are there people in there?'

London Zoo spokeswoman Polly Wills says that's exactly the question the zoo wants to answer. 'Seeing people in a different environment, among other animals ... teaches members of the public that the human is just another primate,' Wills said.

The exhibit puts the three male and five female 'homo sapiens' amid their primate relatives. While their neighbors might enjoy bananas and a good scratch, these eight have divided interests, from a chemist hoping to raise awareness about apes to a self-described actor/model and fitness enthusiast.

Sage - business2blog: "From the Economist:

Fear of idleness is why many managers discourage laughter during office hours . . . Indeed, another theory of why people laugh—the superiority theory—says that people laugh to assert that they are on a level equal to or higher than those around them. Research has shown that bosses tend to crack more jokes than do their employees. Women laugh much more in the presence of men, and men generally tell more jokes in the presence of women. Men have even been shown to laugh much more quietly around women, while laughing louder when in a group of men."

Techdirt:Approaching Maximum Freud? Or Just Channelling Schumpeter?: "Approaching Maximum Freud? Or Just Channelling Schumpeter?
Predictions Contributed by Mike on Friday, July 8th, 2005 @ 09:14AM
from the this-sounds-mighty-familiar dept.
Magnavox writes 'Interesting Rocky Mountain News article about when a technology reaches the end of its product life cycle it approaches a period of 'Maximum Freud.' Yes, it's a wacky name, but it makes sense. As technologies approach Maximum Freud, this is the period when industry players have to spend lots of time on the Freudian Couch to understand what's going on. This is a period of extreme chaos and also a period of extreme opportunity. But here's the most important part: All technologies end. Every technology that we use today will someday go away, and it will be replaced by something else. Every technology will approach its own period of Maximum Freud. So from the standpoint of making bold predictions, the imminent demise of many of our technologies is a certainty. The article includes a just a few examples of technologies that are currently approaching Maximum Freud.' Hmm. This doesn't sound all that insightful, really. In many ways it's just repeating Schumpeter's theory of creative destruction with a silly name. Ah, written by a 'think thank futurist.' That explains it. Did anyone not think that certain technologies eventually die off thanks to innovation?"

Nervous breakdown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Like any machine, the human body will start to malfunction when put under too much stress. In common usage 'nervous breakdown' does not have a clinical definition, and no reputable doctor would use it in serious diagnosis, instead focusing on definite symptoms and underlying causes. One common diagnosis used in this case is brief reactive psychosis. Some commentators claim that a nervous breakdown can actually be a good thing in the long run, because (a) it forces the person to take a proper time-out to rest and recuperate and (b) the patient will have to deal with the issues that caused the breakdown in order to recover fully."

Character assassination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2005-06-24T09:21:00.000-07:00

Character assassination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Character assassination refers to the act of individuals or groups who intentionally attempt to influence the portrayal or reputation of a particular person, whether living or a historical personage, in such a way as to cause others to develop an extremely negative, unethical or unappealing perception of him/her. By its nature, it involves deliberate exaggeration or manipulation of facts to present an untrue picture of the targeted person. For living individuals, this can cause the target to be rejected by his or her community, family, or members of his/her living or work environment. Such acts are typically very difficult to reverse or rectify, therefore the process is correctly likened to a literal assassination of a human life. The damage sustained can be life-long, or for historical personages, last for many centuries after their death.

Humans, by nature, work and live in groups and have criteria for acceptance and rejection. It is a mechanism for justice, and a way to enforce standards of behavior in group members. The threat of rejection is the means of enforcement.

Humans, by nature, also have the ability to rationalize and 'toe the line'. One definition of power is being able to get a person's community to think the way one wants it to think. The threat of force (loss of job, for example) is very powerful in getting people to see things one's way.

Character assassination is the predatory use of this power to cause a person to be rejected from his/her community. It is characterized by; a moral rationalization of the community to reject the person based on character (or rumors of incorrect behavior), not allowing the accused a voice in the discussions (or even to hear the charges, if possible), and the abuse of power to further this goal."
