Brain scans may be able to predict what you will do better than you can yourself . . . They found a way to interpret "real time" brain images to show whether people who viewed messages about using sunscreen would actually use sunscreen during the following week. The scans were more accurate than the volunteers were, Emily Falk and colleagues at the University of California Los Angeles reported in the Journal of Neuroscience. . . . About half the volunteers had correctly predicted whether they would use sunscreen. The research team analyzed and re-analyzed the MRI scans to see if they could find any brain activity that ...

It seems to me that Rawls' distinction between the rational and the reasonable might be useful in other contexts. The rational as means-ends oriented, he suggests, does not account for "moral sensibility" that is necessary for reasonableness. I wondered about this in consideration of Joan Copjec's description of perversion. Perversion is the attempt to comply absolutely with the rule of order. The pervert forgoes the partial satisfaction found in the objet a in order to pursue the unattainable das ding that is promised by perfectly fulfilling the precepts of social ... Read More

Actually, he just writes "classics," but based on his list, I assume he only wants articles, not books. If he wanted to include classic books, I'd nominate the following, just for starters: - Fisher's Statistical Methods for Research Workers - Snedecor and Cochran's Statistical Methods - Kish's Survey Sampling - Box, Hunter, and Hunter's Statistics for Experimenters - Tukey's Exploratory Data Analysis - Cleveland's The Elements of Graphing Data - Mosteller and Wallace's book on the Federalist Papers. Probably Cox and Hinkley, too. That's a book that I don't think has ...

RELATED NEWS
Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favour of his appeal to set aside his three fraud convictions under the controversial honest services fraud statute, but the judges were split on how to deal with the troublesome law. In a widely anticipated eight-page ruling, the nine Supreme Court justices all agreed the 28-word statute was too broadly applied by U.S. prosecutors pursuing white-collar crime cases. However, instead of striking down the law as unconstitutional-- as Lord Black had hoped and most legal experts predicted -- the top court narrowed its interpretation and imposed limits on its use to only those ...

One need look no further than British Petroleum's current crisis in the oil-soaked Gulf of Mexico to illustrate the increasing importance of public relations in the era of instant communication. With the spike in social media helping to blur the lines between citizen journalism, marketing, and news, so-called "reputation management" is taking up an increasing chunk of companies' time, much to their chagrin. So at a time when truth and honesty -- or at least the appearance of it -- are seen as essential traits for all brands to possess, advertisers are scrambling to shore up their persuasion departments. It ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Social contract usually assumes the existence of natural law which in turn defines some rights of individuals, and that individuals can trade off some of these rights under "social contract" for the protection that government can provide. Some philosophers say that there are no natural laws, and that what are assumed to be natural laws are no more than what is commonly agreed to be just laws. Without natural laws, there are no natural rights and there is therefore nothing for the individual to trade over to the government. On this view, the social contract theory can not be supported. It is also said that the social ...
There is a way in which we build an identity according to social theory. We build a concept of ourselves and what is not self. Working with cognitive functions that can be thought of as, "I am, and I am not." Social norms, cause peer pressure, which then may make the ego (i am, i am not) try to fit in, and make decisions that would lead to a better sense of identity. 2 months ago 33% 1 Vote
