    (FB 1549827357 Timestamp) NOBLESSE OBLIGE INSTEAD OF TOLERANCE by Luke Weinhagen Noblesse Oblige is as close as we should ever get to the concept people currently mislabel “tolerance”. It is a form of forbearance that can be extended to individuals not directly known to, but still within the sphere of responsibility of, the one offering it. (Successful application of forbearance, much like successful application of reciprocity, will end up one of the traits used to recognize competent elites from incompetent elites)

    (CD: brilliant. consider this canon)

It’s the people that ‘sense something right’ in our arguments that we seek to attract by taking advantage of the attention (advertising) you create by your attempted criticism.”—CD Public debate is less about convincing the opponent, and more about attracting and teaching the audience. The process is super fun when you get someone who bites the bait and runs through the GSRM tactics like clockwork so you end up making them look silly while present Truths for viewers to munch on.

    (FB 1549971692 Timestamp) MORE ON THE REPLICATION CRISIS IN PSYCHOLOGY (PSEUDOSCIENCE) What if the reason we have not developed a framework, and why psychology cannot convert to a science, is because we may like what we find? I’ve been working on the problem as a byproduct of my work (method) and I think it’s relatively simple and solid. We just won’t like it. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-018-0522-1 ==== by Valerio Caprario (via james santagata) Incredibly deep paper: – the replicability crisis in psychology is not only driven by methodological and statistical shortcomings – it’s mainly driven by a lack of theoretical frameworks – Psychology needs to be turned into a formal science Abstract (Gated) The replication crisis facing the psychological sciences is widely regarded as rooted in methodological or statistical shortcomings. We argue that a large part of the problem is the lack of a cumulative theoretical framework or frameworks. Without an overarching theoretical framework that generates hypotheses across diverse domains, empirical programs spawn and grow from personal intuitions and culturally biased folk theories. By providing ways to develop clear predictions, including through the use of formal modelling, theoretical frameworks set expectations that determine whether a new finding is confirmatory, nicely integrating with existing lines of research, or surprising, and therefore requiring further replication and scrutiny. Such frameworks also prioritize certain research foci, motivate the use diverse empirical approaches and, often, provide a natural means to integrate across the sciences. Thus, overarching theoretical frameworks pave the way toward a more general theory of human behaviour. We illustrate one such a theoretical framework: dual inheritance theory.
