Anyway, there's a difference between life and consciousness. A tardigrade is alive, but it has no brain and thus no consciousness. A Discord mod has a brain and consciousness, but no life.

the existence of this movie when reading the “In media” section of the Chand Baori Wikipedia page.
This is not important or even that interesting for anyone other than me, but it’s one of those full circle moments that happen every once in a while so I’m writing this just to document it for myself.

This person mentioned “Chand Baori”, a place I had never heard about, a couple of weeks ago so I looked it up and learned about it.
Seeing it featured in the trailer for this film took me by surprise, I had never heard about this movie, or so I thought, but then I realized that I had learned about

There was this very big yearly party my extended family used to throw (around 150-200 invitees) and there was always a ton of food leftover at the end, even after giving a lot of it away, so they’d just pour it down the drain/throw it in the trash, still can’t believe how wasteful that was.

Reading together was a small show of love all things considered, but for whatever reason oftentimes it’s the small things the ones we remember the most, both good and bad.
Love your loved ones.
Love them big.
But don’t forget to also love them small.

And started reading it to me and my mom, I can see everything so clearly, the dim and yellow reading lights, the empty road, the stillness of the night.
He finished the book and we went home shortly after, it became one of my favorite books ever…

I will audit all references next week and share my findings as a standalone post.
Paper: ideas.wharton.upenn.edu/wp-content/u...
First 2 screenshots are from the book, the rest are from the paper, they continue in the next post but you'll get the idea without having to read them all:

but the error could've been so easily avoided that it makes me question the rigor of the research done for all other social theories presented.
I have no such doubts about the quality of the research in all other areas of the book, I'm happy I read it, it taught me a lot, maybe just not sociology.

Thinking more about it I don't even understand how they could've misinterpreted the paper this much, it's pretty much the main point of the paper and it's even mentioned in the abstract; it's not a central argument in the book so if it's an isolated error then it really isn't a big deal...

But the goal of the paper is to verify if these long held beliefs are true, and it concludes that, while the conditions proposed by Allport boost the reduction of prejudice, they are not necessary, and contact theory actually holds true under and incredibly wide range of conditions.

This is the complete opposite of what the paper concludes, not only that but it only takes reading the first 2 pages to know that.
The idea that contact theory only holds under specific circumstances can be traced back to Gordon Allport in 1954.

The book mentions "contact theory" and argues that Silicon Valley founders misinterpreted it. According to the book, "subsequent research" demonstrated that contact theory is only true when very specific conditions are met, otherwise intergroup contact causes animosity.

Sure! The paper is called "A Meta-Analytic Test of Intergroup Contact Theory" (links & screenshots at the end), it's the reference #34 in chapter 6 of the book.
In very short terms, intergroup contact theory proposes that contact between diverse groups lowers their prejudice against each other.

..people didn't vote for her will be difficult and I suspect anyone coming to conclusions this early on doesn't have the hard data to support their claims. Still, democrats must try to understand why it happened as, again, it seems the reason had more to do them and their base, than with Trump&MAGA.

Harris got 6.8 million less votes than Biden, while Trump got 2.7m more votes than last time, in addition the voting elegible population grew by 4m. Whatever made people NOT vote for Harris had a bigger impact than whatever made people vote for Trump. Figuring out the real causes of why... 1/2

The book contains otherwise an amazing work of journalism and I'm very happy I read it, but whenever I'm thinking about social theories I have to remind myself to disregard most of what it taught me in that regard, at least for the time being

..reached the opposite conclusion the research pointed to, all while using the paper as "supporting evidence".
I'm hopeful I just got unlucky and happened to read the one paper they misunderstood but until I audit a bigger portion of their references I can't recommend it without mentioning that. 2/3
