Cognitive Biases and Brain Biology Help Explain Why Facts don’t Change Minds

Facts First
Once facts are established, opinions can be formed.

Problem is that while it sounds logical, It is a fallacy not supported by #research

#Cognitive #psychology and #neuroscience studies found that people form opinions based on emotions, such as fear, contempt and anger, rather than relying on facts.
Facts often do not change people’s minds.

*Seriously good* open access paper just out from Morten Hansen and Janja Komljenovic on automation and assetization in education. Automated #EdTech is a technocommercial strategy "that operates on students and teachers from far away and black-boxed servers." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42438-022-00359-4

I was a bit skeptical at first, but it feels like Mastodon in now approaching escape velocity.

Made me realize the idea of "micro-blogging" (if you can still call it that) is actually bigger and distinct from the company that popularized it.

Just catching up with the new 'Toolbox of interventions against online misinformation and manipulation'. Great resource for introducing people to these concepts (especially policy makers) https://interventionstoolbox.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/

If asking questions can get you banned from Twitter, then all journalists should be aiming to get banned from Twitter.

It's a badge of honor.

You can be a Nazi or white supremacist on Twitter but you can’t ask a question that annoys Elon Musk? That's pretty telling.

If you're NOT getting banned from Twitter, you're doing it wrong! https://sfstandard.com/politics/veteran-ca-journalist-locked-out-of-musks-twitter-for-asking-question/
