This is the long read you should spend your Sunday on. Read it, go for a walk and spend time considering where some of your strongest beliefs come from.
Also, consider how news outlets report findings, how inspirational speakers use research studies to get their point across in a timely manner and how books build one upon the other, trusting that distant (often single) source of information now so widely accepted because it has been replicated in writing so many times over. And yet often not replicated in research.
One firm belief of mine I am re-evaluating today is that of ego depletion - I am sure others will follow. We are not forward thinkers if we do not allow our beliefs to be challenged.
I also appreciate how the author, Andrew Gelman, notes how social media has played a role in unveiling weaknesses in the field of psychology.
"When it comes to pointing out errors in published work, social media have been necessary. There just has been no reasonable alternative. Yes, it’s sometimes possible to publish peer-reviewed letters in journals criticizing published work, but it can be a huge amount of effort. Journals and authors often apply massive resistance to bury criticisms."
Once a research article is published it should not be taken as true. That's when it should start being challenged. Because that is the job of science.

Luktar rök i trapphuset. Luktar ännu mer rök utomhus. Får flash på telefonen om att det brinner på Skeppsholmen. Japp, det är den röken jag känner här i Solna. Kraftig brand.

He's breaking the law? I don't understand that shit, let's write about his hair.
Gratis boende för studenter på äldreboende. Genialt.
Alltså. Balkonghänget med Rusa idag. ❤️
Lite promenad, lite telefonmöten med kunder, lite käk, lite bus, lite mys. 21 grader i skuggan den 15 september. Den här dagen kan du få påminna mig om igen nästa år Facebook.

I like to read TODAY (a Nigerian online newspaper) and stories like this one intrigue me.
"In a bid to promote entrepreneurship among Nigerians, Inlaks Computers has organised a free training for youths on how to build and install solar power panels and inverters."
"He further said the training, which was organised for the company’s clients for free., would be extended to other Nigerians, including students of tertiary institutions in order to empower them before they graduate from school. He said: “Presently, we are partnering with the University of Lagos to train 200 students on building and installing solar panels and inverters for free."
In an environment where most news about Nigeria is about Boko Haram, it's nice to get some perspective now and then on the progress being made, in the normal everyday life of Nigerians.

Agree.
Jag måste säga att jag tycker det här är ett fantastiskt sätt att ha tillgång till bil utan att behöva äga en. Endast Stockholm än så länge men jag hoppas det utvidgas i Sverige.
Anslut dig nu så är uppstartsavgiften bara 49kr och så får du 15 fria minuter i bil. Sedan är det 4,50kr per minut inklusive bensin, mil och parkering (ja, egentligen lämnar du ju bara bilen)

Mängder av bilar i närheten av mig nu. DriveNow har lite större bilar (BMW och Mini) än Car2Go (som jag också gillar), och även cabriolet om man är på det humöret.
What a stunning mid-September evening in Stockholm!

Jason may come across as a bit too intense for some people, but his message is worth taking time to think about in relation to your own past and your own stories.

The implications of this creeped me out.
Doctorow:
« Once all the audio coming out of an Iphone is digital — once there’s no analog output — Apple gets a lot more options about how it can relate to its competitors, and they’re all good for Apple and bad for Apple’s customers. Just by wrapping that audio in DRM, Apple gets a veto over which of your devices can connect to your phone. They can arbitrarily withhold permission to headphone manufacturers, insist that mixers be designed with no analog outputs, or even demand that any company that makes an Apple-compatible device must not make that device compatible with Apple’s competitors, so home theater components that receive Apple signals could be pressured to lock out Samsung’s signals, or Amazon’s. »

I'm not going to buy it (for now), but I'm also not going to claim it's a fail. This is what often happens when Apple does its thing. #apple #airpods
