Miss GayleWell, it was nice knowing you all...The odds of some for-profit govt contractor not making a worse hot mess of the climate is pretty much zero.Link: <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/experiments-dim-sun-green-light-191707344.html?ICID=ref_fark" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.yahoo.com/news/experiments-dim-sun-green-light-191707344.html?ICID=ref_fark</a><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/GeoEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeoEngineering</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BadScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadScience</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a>

guyjantic has moved!Creating exam questions for intro stats, and defaulting, as I sometimes do, to IQ score examples because they're easy to think through (for me). Remembering several years ago a student asking me, with clear anxiety, whether they were "smart enough" for college based on their IQ score. As we talked it became clear they felt guilt and shame about their full-scale IQ score (they apparently got assessed in high school). IMO the problems with IQ aren't psychometric (the Wechsler tests are extremely good tests, psychometrically speaking); they are cultural. We bundle some heavy stuff with "intelligence," like self-worth, value to others, and I even think I hear hints of morality judgments, sometimes. cognitive abilities don't work that way, but good luck convincing 300 million people. As a teacher one of the little threads of my teaching is helping students question the meaning of intelligence, not just IQ scores (the question of whether/how much those measure intelligence, and how to even define intelligence is a huge can of worms). Your intelligence has nothing to do with your worth or goodness. It's been deeply disheartening to see the standard right-wing, white-supremacist, misogynist bad actors (incompetently) using IQ research to try to support their racist, misogynist, anti-LGBTQ rants. As the cold war ended I really thought we were putting this behind us.<a href="https://c.im/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misogyny</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/iq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iq</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intelligence</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nazis</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/whitesupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whitesupremacy</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/badscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badscience</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/badtakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badtakes</a>

Weary Wulf[P] This is indeed why the reproducibility crisis exists, yes! The neuronormative bias is going to apter what they see. There was a study regarding autism's morality that really proved this. You see, the bias was to prove that neuronormatives are more moral than autistics. When the evidence painted a very opposite picture? The researchers tried to play it off as autism being somehow "too" moral, that greater morality is "pathological."<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/badscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badscience</a>-6

Weary Wulf[P] Thanks to the nature of neuronormative hiverarchy, the bosses matter. So, who are the charismatic influencers with funding money, here? The researchers will likely have a strong bias toward them. Hence why I don't trust studies funded by corporations, because the goal is to say what they want to hear—even if only subconsciously. I find that that's a cesspit of bad science that never stands up to peer review and reproduction.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/badscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badscience</a>-2
