#CDNGov, #ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: The CPC get the message yet? The use of belief as a leader of "thinking" can miss pivotal evidence. Belief preservation, confirmation bias, self-serving attributional bias. www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/pol...
#ThiTha: Discrimination can't be unilaterally positioned as intentional. Disparate Treatment vs Disparate Impact. Heads up, always, for disparate treatment.
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: reliability, replicability, and validity could be considered the cornerstones of measurement. Reliability about consistency, validity about accuracy (e.g., true scores), and replicability supports reliability and validity of measures.
#ThiTha, #FriFo: A little intellectual or philosophical fun maybe more so to think about all the ideas around Mars past possibly connected to our future. Sure, could just be me. :) www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: AI and human jobs. 1998, I helped a team implement one of the first proprietary AI systems (dev.gensym.com/platforms/g2...). This system displaced many... many tech jobs, way back then. :/ www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-ai...
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Green the power grid first. Plug a vehicle into coal or gas fired produced electricity? Norway is a ref with renewables electric grid and non-renewables revenues. Norway, no equalization payout though. :/ insideevs.com/news/787202/...

#ThiTha, #CDNGov, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Great the media is now talking about our security issues. They are surprised??? Replace or remove talk blocking do little politicians and gov emps as security can't be addressed after the fact. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Let's give credit where credit is due and let the politicians who believe it is their job to unnecessarily oppose be the tree falling in the forest. :) www.reuters.com/world/china/...
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Computers are incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination. — (Leo Cherne, Discover America conference, Brussels, June 27, 1968)... ?

#CDNGov, #ThiTha: "Teachers have a LIMITED amount of attention and energy. If they can divide it fairly, then the smaller the class, the more individual attention for each student. Smaller classes, less noise and disruption." (p. 172). Past 30 students learning can decline sharply for every student.
#ThiTha : A good speaker? Yes, it doesn't matter which news outlet followed, the brain wired more broadly (neurogenesis) by listening for reasonable information through the noise. It's okay to agree and disagree in the same conversation (central message processing). www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
#ThiTha, @realbillmaher.bsky.social: A well qualified expert on mind body (psychophysiological) health would be a PhD psychologist who works(ed) in acute care. Psychologists have long known about physical health issues (e.g., cortisol, IBS, CVD) related to affective issues (e.g., stress, anxiety).
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Ambivert? People operate (social context) on the intro to extrovert continuum, but testing shows they consistently lean intro or extrovert not both. Reason for the "... but, I need to recharge"? www.psychologytoday.com/us/tests/per...
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Psychology: it is absolutely okay / normal to feel bad or unhappy at times. Trying to be happy or constantly directing others for such all the time can also be detrimental to one's health. Lift... www.bing.com/videos/searc...
#FedEleBRC, #ThiTha, @bonniecritchley.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social, @mark-carney.bsky.social: It's on tonight. :) You can't change who you are based on political motivation only. It generally requires self directed investment in neurogenic changes in your brain operations.

#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Attention redirection is a great way to divert from repeating stressful thoughts. Even short term distraction can allow for getting back to the problems later from a calmer thinking and feelings perspective. I'm pulling for you. :)
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Buy Canadian. globalnews.ca/news/1099603.... Heard store owners (CKNW) asking for help to clear products not made in Canada. In Edmonton, www.freson.com and www.saveonfoods.com more local, more money stays in Canada.
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Social media pro - stay connected with social circle (not delinquent), con - constant comparison with people doing "better" causes people to view life as unsatisfactory. Authoritative Parenting helpful (not Authoritarian or Indulgent).
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: peripheral info processing is when a speaker's message is believed based on only liking that person. Central info processing is checking for info to see if a speaker's message is valid/correct.
#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Placebo effect a positive psychophysiological response (e.g., endorphin release) from a user’s belief in meds, better outcomes. A negative belief about meds causes a nocebo effect (e.g., stress, anxiety) reducing meds effects.

#ThiTha, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @michellegarner.bsky.social: Usually best to check the information source for credibility. For example, this article by Stéphane Sérafin who has legal education and experience. Congratulations, you are also a central processor. :) nationalpost.com/opinion/opin...
