I hope the Stanford study on tulpas/parogenic systems is able to continue soon. So sad that it got put on hold due to the pandemic. I was so looking forward to seeing the results start to come out right about now.

But no, we gotta wait even longer.

Oh well. Guess it's a lesson in patience.

Anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann found that voice-hearing experiences of people with serious psychotic disorders are shaped by local culture –

I found this to be very interesting. This is definitely worth a read, especially if you enjoy psychology or anthropology.

I don’t have a lot of followers so I don’t know how far this’ll go but I have questions.

So this study has been released (brought up to me by my dad) and I was wondering if anyone more acidemically inclined had any thoughts they could share about it.

Stanford Study Shows Most Fake News Favored Hillary Clinton

Fake news was a huge topic during the election and afterward. The media and democrats portrayed it as something that hurt Hillary Clinton’s election chances.  A new study from Stanford blows that theory to hell. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/827629388380377088 That article that Wikileaks linked to is a synopsis of the study.

That’s because headlines (and, of course, tweets) matter. The Stanford study was not only an exercise in misdirection, it was a headline generator.
