Such a great summary of the field! I must certainly pay $1500 per ticket to present there. No signs its dodgy at all.

Thanks!
I am changing my account name, as I am transferring the clinpsy forum and all related social media accounts to a new owner. This account is my personal one, so it needs a new name!
Centre left is a drawing of a porcupine - a biro drawing of a hedgehog like ball of spines facing right, labelled "porkupine". Above him is a similar shaped and oriented character dressed in black and white stripes, labelled "porkucrime". Below them a similar character has three-pronged forks instead of spines and is labelled "forkupine" and a porcupine drawing with a clock on him is labelled "porkutime". Top right is a similar shaped character, though without spines except on the ridge, with speckles and a little pointier in shape at snout and tail to suggest a citrus fruit, labelled "porkulime". Middle right is a porcupine with a mobile phone, labelled "porku999". Bottom right is the porkucrime character in the black and white stripes having cut up another character with a large knife, with a shaded puddle of blood. The slices reveal the inside profile of a citrus fruit. Porku999 is saying "porkucrime just chopped up porkulime!"
A porcucrime has been committed!
Top row: A pencil cartoon of a small dragon facing to the right with four little nub legs, then a cute dragon standing up with smile and wings. Second row: a dragon with too many legs each wearing little ballet shoes faces right, with tail emerging from a shaded area intended as a tutu. It is labelled "dragopiller ballerina", a similar winged figure to the front-on cute dragon above, but with mouse facial features and tail, labelled "mouse trying to be a dragon". Third row: a dragon with four legs wearing ballet shoes faces right, with tail emerging from a shades area intended as a tutu. It is labelled "dragon ballerina", a similar winged figure to the front-on cute dragon and mouse above, but with cat features including black ears and tail, labelled "haku is a secret dragon". Fourth row: a dragon with far too many legs (each wearing ballet shoes) faces right, with tail emerging from a shaded area intended as a tutu. It is labelled "cantagon ballerina". Fifth row: a dragon with even more legs faces right. It is labelled "milagon ballerina". Beside it a dragon with even more legs faces right. The legs are so small they look like a scribble, but a magnifying glass shows a close up of the same style of little feet. It is labelled "bilagon ballerina".
2. Variations on a tiny dragon
Some very simple pencil drawings on oblong snippets of paper of various sizes, showing a cat. Top row from left: a cat stretched out long and thin, labelled "loki poki", then a small cat labelled "Mr chub chub" then a cat laying sphinx-like labelled "chonker plonk". Middle row: a cat standing up, labelled "chubba chubba", a small cat labelled "loki" Bottom row an anthropomorphic cat sitting up like a human, holding hands with a smaller circular character labelled "loki and kirby being best buddies", a circle character with mouth open to the right, with a cat drawn overlapping the mouth, labelled "kirby can't inhale loki", then the final, largest picture of a cat with a hugely deeper body but tiny little legs and head in scale with the other pictures, labelled "mr definitely not at all chubby".
2. Some images suggesting her sister's cat is obese
"Goosey goose" (pencil sketch of simple bird facing right in profile) "Breaking news" (in cartoon style flash from TV showing news reader) "Hide your children, lock your doors and have your weapons at the ready, for THE GOOSE IS LOOSE!" (large speech bubble comes from pencil sketch of newsreader on TV) "There is a goose on the loose" (pencil sketch shows close-up of goose on TV, he is holding something) "HONK HONK DUCKERS" (close up of goose holding large knife) "2 mins later... static" (TV screen now shows chaos and static)
The world is feeling a bit bleak, so I thought I'd share some of the doodles my teenage daughter leaves around the place. I think my favourites are first and last on this short thread.
1. On the inside of what was a tissue box: The goose!
an oak twig covered in various shaggy pale green lichen species sits on a grey slatted table.
A fallen oak twig from my garden in Derbyshire, England.
It seems like an appropriate time to share the impact of Ketamine on the body: www.priorygroup.com/blog/long-te... I don't think it is widely known outside medical circles that long-term ketamine use can irreparably damage the bladder, leading to pain, bleeding and urinary incontinence.
Anyone know if this: domesticviolenceresearch.org/domestic-vio... has any affiliation with "the Editorial Board of Partner Abuse springerpub.com/pa and the Advisory Board of the Association of Domestic Violence Intervention Programs"? @springernature.com @retractionwatch.com @deevybee.bsky.social
Can you source that? JP Rushton worked in Canada from 1974 until he died, and was only in England prior to the age of 4, and to attend university from 1967-74. He was only posthumously discredited as a racist, and I can find no link between him and Peterson (they never worked at the same university)
You hang on to your beliefs, I prefer facts.
You missed "defender of pederasty".
If we needed any more proof of Kanye's detatchment from reality, it would be employing Milo as a chief of staff/spokesperson.
Peterson is a toxic embarrassment to psychology. He clearly and intentionally chose the alt-right grift to make money/audience over any academic credibility. He extrapolates wildly to fit his own bigoted worldview. And his views on parenting sound abusive. So in a lot of ways they are well matched!
This. So much this. It is terrifying to see the world slide towards fascism, and so little resistance to what is going on.
This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order. A table version is available here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LZN7QnbSyFfUZJG8Sn1MWpK0VnfBtb0OSyZ1jxP3xBk/edit?usp=sharing
🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."
Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
We should share Rose Ferreira's inspiring story as widely as possible to spite those trying to erase female and minority impact in STEM: scitechdaily.com/nasa-intern-... I see no "DEI", just an incredible, determined, accomplished space scientist, who earned her opportunities every step of the way.
Exactly my question.
We chose to live here because we were in the catchment of good quality non-religious education for the children after a bad experience of a faith school at infants (Church of England controlled).
Yes, I may suggest that.
seemed to promote two fallacies: 1) that morals are contingent on faith, and 2) that Christianity is a superior belief system that has driven positive societal changes that would not have occured in its absence.
- but also for the personal gain of religious leaders. I'd attribute the positive impacts, such as charity, to empathy and altruism rather than any specific religion, as they have occured in the context of many faiths and none.
So I was quite unimpressed with the content of this lesson, which
the existential dread of knowing our lives are finite and that humans have done various things to explain the unknown and codify altruism. I believe religions have emerged in society for reasons similar to the legal system - to protect privilege and power, whilst seeming to make things fair
reciprocal support - with an awareness that we might need support from others (and could have been in their shoes, if factors outside of our control had panned out differently). Hence we derive morals from reasoning, not faith.
I might also argue that faith is a cognitive strategy to deal with
about similar things), I would probably have said that morals are derived from theory of mind, empathy and altruism. That is, we realise that that other people are conscious, therefore they experience the world much as we do, and can suffer. We therefore want to reduce suffering, and offer
My daughter certainly felt it was proselytising rather than objective analysis, which was why she told me about it. We've always talked about faiths being stories some people believe and some people don't.
If the kids asked (and we have had interesting conversations since they were very small 1/
"The rest of the lesson focused on things Christianity had done for our society such as how Elizabeth Fry had helped reform prisons and there was a video about street pastors and how they helped communities. I don’t think he explained about the video, he just asked some generic questions about it".
