How ‘The Goblin’ may unravel the mystery of Planet Nine | Michelle Thaller

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink It might surprise you to know that we are still learning about our own solar system; even the question about how many planets are there is kind of a funny one—Take Pluto. Pluto was classified as a dwarf planet, and there are other dwarf planets as well, in fact the largest in the asteroid Ceres is now classified as a dwarf planet. A lot of these dwarf planets actually exist farther beyond the orbit of Pluto, and we’re just finding them now. And one of my favorite discoveries recently has been something called The Goblin. Now, The Goblin is a dwarf planet—it’s actually much smaller than Pluto, it’s only about a fifth diameter of Pluto, and it is really, really far out there. It’s in a highly elongated orbit; the closest it ever gets is about twice as far away as Pluto is, and the farthest it gets is about 2300 times the distance from the earth to the sun; it goes way, way, way out there. This orbit takes it about 40,000 years to go once around the sun. It’s really, really incredible. It doesn’t surprise me that these objects are only recently being discovered because most of them are so distant. They are so faint, and if they’re at the very far part of their orbit they’re moving very, very slowly—very, very hard to detect. Now The Goblin is really interesting in a number of ways: one of the things that I love about it is that it does actually seem to hint that there may be something larger out there—we’ve been noticing this for the last couple of years. These distant icy bodies are called Kuiper Belt objects, and often they’re on elongated orbits that come close to the sun (and by close I mean about the orbit of Pluto and then much, much farther away into the very outer reaches of the solar system). We now know of dozens of these objects, and there are probably many more out there we haven’t discovered yet. The interesting thing: as we began to observe how their orbits were aligned in our solar system there’s something called perihelion, which is the closest pass an object makes to the sun. And amazingly all of these objects all over this sky seem to have perihelions, closest approaches to the sun, that were beautifully lined up together. There is no reason for that to be the case. If they were independent orbiting bodies there’s no way their closest approach to the sun should match. So the idea is there’s a larger body out there somewhere, a larger planet, and as it orbits it lines up kind of shepherds all these smaller objects into its orbit. The evidence for this really is pretty compelling. We don’t know of any other way to explain the lined up orbits of these Kuiper Belt objects. So then the question is: where is this bigger planet? Our estimates put it at least three to five times the mass of the earth, maybe even a little bit more massive than that. It could be something on the order the size of Neptune. This is a big planet we’re talking about, and honestly it’s a little embarrassing that we’ve missed an entire big planet in our solar system. We are now so good at detecting planets we can see them around other stars, so how is it we’ve missed this planet? Well, if it really is very far away from us in its orbit right now, even a big planet would be tiny to the most powerful telescopes, so we could have missed it. It also would be moving so slowly that maybe we didn’t notice that it was a planet. Maybe people assumed it was distant star. So telescopes all over the world are scanning the sky for any sense that there’s an object out there moving very, very slowly that could be evidence of this giant planet. Judging from the way these orbits are lined up I think it is very likely there could be a big planet out there, and I am going to be really happy when we have something else to add to our knowledge of the solar system. There’s also something kind of wonderful happening January 1st of 2019, it’s coming up pretty soon—and that is that we’re going to visit one of these Kuiper Belt objects for the very first time. The New Horizons spacecraft a couple years ago flew by Pluto. Hopefully you remember the beautiful images of Pluto that have returned. Then we aimed it at one of these distant Kuiper Belt objects. We call it MU69, or it’s been nicknamed Ultima Thule, which means “farthest frontier.” Now hopefully you remember the New Horizons spacecraft from its spectacular flyby of Pluto a couple of years ago. So after it flew by Pluto we aimed it even farther out to encounter one of these distant icy objects. It’s the first time we will ever see what one of these objects is like. After January we will finally have a picture of a part of the solar system we’ve never seen before.

Innocent on death row: How I survived 18 years | Damien Echols

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink Damien Echols: The true crime stuff I think it has good points and bad points; Good points because it is literally saving people’s lives. When you’re talking about cases where you have innocent people sentenced to death, you have innocent people doing life without parole, and it happens way more often than people have any idea. A guy named Bryan Stevenson who works with the Southern Poverty Law Center, I was talking to him one time and he said that they now estimate that maybe as many as one out of every ten people executed are innocent. Now if one out of every ten planes crashed nobody would fly anymore. Everybody would demand that something be done before they got on another plane. But most people don’t know anyone and they’re not connected in any way to the death penalty. So it’s sort of just being swept under the rug in a lot of ways. So the true crime stuff is bringing stuff like that into mainstream attention. It’s saving people’s lives. On the other hand you have the other stuff, the really tawdry—and I can’t think of a case right off the top of my head—but just people like to sort of wallow in the darkness of humanity a little bit. Say people who want to read stuff about Richard Ramirez, the night stalker guy, stuff like that. That sort of goes the other route. I think whatever you focus on is going to sort of dictate the direction that your life moves. If you focus on things that inspire you, that uplift you, that raise you up, you’re going to be a happier person. If you’re focusing more on the basest, just bottom dregs of human activity then you’re probably not going to be a very happy person. It’s going to manifest in depression and despair and things like that. So I see the good points of true crime and I see the bad points of true crime. For me personally I tend to stay away from it. I honestly have not even seen the Paradise Lost documentaries. I tried to watch them, I made it through 15 to 20 minutes of the first one, and I could understand why it had such a big impact on people because when I was watching it, it felt like being in the courtroom. It was like experiencing it again. And, for me, that was the last thing in the world that I wanted. That was—it ate up 20 years of my life, so the last thing I wanted to do was go back there. At the same time I’m grateful that so many other people did watch it and were affected by it and came to our aid, because it saved my life. But that doesn’t mean I want to watch it. The hardest parts of being in prison, the worst parts to deal with were just the sheer brutality of it. You know, there were times when I was beaten so bad that I started to piss blood. They’re not going to spend a lot of time and money and energy taking care of someone they plan on killing. So it’s not like you’re going to see a real doctor or a real dentist. At one point I’d been hit in the face so many times by prison guards that it had caused a lot of nerve damage in my teeth, so I was in horrendous pain. Your choices are: live in pain, or let them pull your teeth out. I didn’t want them to pull my teeth out, so I had to find techniques that would allow me to cope with the physical pain. That was probably the biggest thing that kept pushing me forward to learn more and more and more about magick, because I had to find ways just to survive. Magick, spelled with a K at the end, M – A – G – I – C – K, the reason it has a K is to differentiate it from sleight of hand, you know, sawing assistants in half, pulling rabbits out of a hat, things like that. The entire point of high magick it is a path that leads to the same things that Eastern traditions refer to as “enlightenment,” which is the dissolution of the self. The form that I practice derived, for the most part, from the late 1800s in London. You had a group of people, they called themselves the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—some really intelligent people, the beloved poet W.B. Yeats was a member. What they set out to do was look into all religious traditions in the world and get to just the practices, you know, strip away the dogma, the belief systems, things like that, and get to just the practices. And they wanted to figure out what works, why it works, how it works, and how we can make it work better. And it’s ideally suited to people in the West because it uses like I was saying Christian, Judaic, things of that nature iconography. So it’s things that are really deeply ingrained in our psyches already.

How to find fulfillment: Lessons from ‘dark horse’ success

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink So, when people think of a dark horse I think most people think of people who were successful that nobody saw coming. And that’s technically true, but in our research we actually found that dark horses are people who prioritize personal fulfillment over conventional notions of success, and that priority is what actually puts them on a very individual path, but it’s also ultimately what allows them to be both successful and happy. And I think those lessons end up being valuable to anybody who wants to live a more fulfilling life. So the origins of Dark Horse are a little bit personal, right. I’m a Harvard professor today, but I also was a high school dropout with a 0.9 GPA; ended up getting married right out of high school, had two kids by the time I was 21, and ended up working a string of minimum wage jobs and was actually on welfare for a little while. So my future was sort of bleak and I felt a bit lost. And it was actually my dad who gave me this piece of advice that changed everything. So he said if I wanted something better, I need to figure out what truly motivated me and stay really close to that the rest of my life. He felt like that was going to be important for me being able to achieve what I could. And that piece of advice put me on a completely different path that led me to get a GED, then eventually to college, and then ultimately to Harvard where I’ve spent the last decade getting to study what makes people tick. And so for me Dark Horse is kind of like the culmination of a lot of things that I care about. Because when I think about how we can use these insights from the science that I’m a part of and other things, I think helping people live more fulfilling lives is probably right at the top of the list. But I think there’s kind of, for me, there’s almost like this laddering of like how we get to this, like how do you end up pursuing a fulfilling life? And I think knowing what motivates you is like core to that. It’s not everything, but if you don’t truly know what matters most to you and what really drives you, there’s really no chance of having a consistently fulfilling life. You might be successful at some stuff, but you’re probably not going to be successful and happy. And so the interesting thing about – there’s two things that I think are really fascinating that dark horses taught us that are different than the way most of us think about things. So first is even how we define who we are. Because I think self-knowledge is this vital thing, and most of us when we talk about who we are we tend to think about things like what we’re good at or what job we do. Dark horses, right off the bat they’ll talk about the things that motivate them, the things that matter most to them and they build their identity off of that. So to the question of if knowing what motivates you is so important; like why do we struggle to figure that out, and like how could we get better at that? So I think that the biggest challenge with the motivation aspect is that when we tend to think about what motivates us we tend to look at what society tells us we all should be motivated by. If you just look outward you realize there’s some big things, some universal things like competition, money, collaboration, stuff that we kind of all feel like affects us in some way. But what we found is like—look, the truth is human beings are just more complicated than that, so all of us are motivated by a wide range of things, some of them are those big universals, but what we found is there’s also a whole bunch of very specific things that tend to be particular to you as an individual. So for example, in the Dark Horse Project we actually talked to people who were genuinely motivated by specific things like organizing people’s closets—like genuinely motivated! I can’t understand that for the life of me. It has zero motivational influence. Or aligning physical objects with your hands—like truly motivating. These are so specific they probably don’t matter to very many people, but they matter deeply to these individuals. And what dark horses taught us is that when it comes to living a fulfilling life those specific motives are every bit as important as the big general ones.

Why whistleblowing is the loneliest and most courageous act in the world | Alice Dreger

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink The mob is very rarely turned. The best you can hope for with a mob is to calm them down a little, but they’ll rarely turn. I think sometimes you have to walk and certainly choose your battles; you can’t throw yourself against the wall constantly and survive. The way I think about integrity is to remember that at the end of the day there’s only one person I have to sleep with, and that’s myself. And am I going to be able to, at the end of the day, feel that I acted with integrity, feel like I treated other people well, that I upheld principles that I really care about? And that on some days can be really, really hard, because it’s not the evil people who challenge your integrity, it’s the good people. It’s the people you like, it’s the people who most of the time do the right thing. And what ends up happening is because we have interests in our lives, because we’re interested in, for example, not unreasonably: making more money, wanting a more comfortable life, wanting to take care of our friends and family— those are the kinds of things that lead to corruption within systems, lead to misuse of resources, lead to people mistreating each other. And it’s not really very hard to call out when somebody who is known to be awful is doing something awful, it’s much harder when it’s the good people around them cooperating or being complicit in that situation. We see that, for example, with the MeToo movement where people are now exposing individuals who have been known to be creeps and awful people, but all the people around them decided not to stand up because it was too costly to them personally or because they have the attitude of “it’s not their job” to stand up. So I think one of the things you have to ask yourself as you think about whether or not to call out bad behavior is: can you get other people to do it with you? That will often help lighten the blow of the backlash. And then can you afford to lose what it is you might lose? And for some of us we can afford that so in my own life, for example, I’ve been able in many circumstances to go ahead and call out bad behavior because I have the resources to survive the backlash. But I always try to think of, at the end of the day and at the end of my life, when I look back will I feel like I did the right thing? And that to me is really important. I was raised in a conservative Roman Catholic family and so the message from my parents all the time, especially from my dad, was always: if you do the right thing you go to heaven, if you do the wrong thing you go to hell. Well, I never had faith. It never worked for me, so I became an atheist very cognitively by the time I was about probably 14, and certainly by 16 and 18 I knew that I had no belief in heaven and hell. So then there was the question: how do you make sure you do the right thing? And for me it was really clear, because my mother had said it to me: all the dogma in the world you don’t really need. At the end of the day what you need is to know, did you treat other people well? Did you take care of injustice? And for me that was a very clear organizing principle, so for me I’m not thinking about what happens after I die, I’m thinking about the end of the day and the end of my life, and thinking if I look back will I feel good about what I did? Or will I feel crummy about what I did? And Catholicism irritates me for many reasons, but one of the reasons it irritates me is because it has the confessional booth. And what happens when you’ve done something that lacks integrity is you go into the confessional booth and you tell somebody (who had nothing to do with the situation) that you did it, and that person forgives you. That’s a, I’m sorry, shitty system. You can bleep it out if you have to. That’s a system in which there isn’t really accountability where somebody is able to just let you off the hook. And if you’re going to live with integrity you need to not have that ability to go buy the little ticket and get out of jail free, you know, do your seven Hail Mary’s and be on your way; you need a situation where you have an inner voice that says “Well you did that badly and you need to make good on it.” And then you go and you apologize to the person you hurt, not to the priest, and you go and you promise not to do it again, not to God but to the person you did it to. And then you have, I think, moral accountability on the earth, which is where we live the moral experience. We don’t live it in the afterlife.

Being nice is not going to end racism | Robin DiAngelo

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink After several decades of doing this work I feel like I know my people fairly well, and most people, most white people are not going to do anything different. Most white people that attend my workshops will say “Wow, that was really interesting or provocative,” if they’re open. If they’re not open they’ll just have their reasons why they have to reject what I said. But even those who are open to the message, if it is not sustained it won’t make much of an impact. I often say when I’m in front of a group “Everything outside of this room will compel you not to see this anymore.” The forces are incredibly seductive. The forces of white solidarity, the forces of keeping other white people comfortable, the forces to not see or name any of this. And if you don’t put some kind of structure around yourself to keep you focused there you’re going to slip right back into the status quo. For so many white people we think that the answer to racism is friendliness. If you notice the evidence that most white people will give for why they’re not racist, one of their top pieces of evidence is “I know people of color. I have friends of color.” If we look at that evidence as a way to understand the deeper structure of meaning, right, it’s actually quite revealing. So in order for a claim like that—“I know people of color, I have friends of color” —In order for a claim like that to be good evidence of my lack of racism, a racist can’t be able to do that. Otherwise it’s not good evidence. “This is what distinguishes me from a racist. I have people of color in my life. I live in New York City. I was in Teach for America. I went to a diverse school.” These are all the claims that white people will make for their lack of racism. Well that must mean a racist cannot live in New York City, could not know or speak to or be friendly to people of color, could not be in the Peace Corp, et cetera. And I’m hoping you can see right now how ridiculous that evidence is. Because even in an avowed racist can do all of those things. So most white people believe that niceness is all it takes, and the status quo of our society is the reproduction of racial inequality. That’s what it does. It’s a default of all of our institutions, our norms and our policies. It’s what our society does, it’s what it’s always done.

And I think that one of the tools for living that you find in wonderful works of literature is that: human beings are complicated and flawed. Human beings are not all one way. Human beings are best understood in their complexity. And if only we had more of that in our day to day. I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be an excellent educator, now that for the first time in my really most of my adult life—I was a journalist for a minute but I’ve been a teacher, and now—that’s not my job anymore. So I’ve been thinking about what are the transferrable properties, and what are the ways that in our communities we think about mentorship, we think about empowerment, we think about sharing, not just to impose knowledge but rather to share knowledge in a dynamic way that again is about the self-empowerment that comes from knowledge, from having an expanded mind, for having sharper tools, for being able to evaluate contradiction and hold contradiction aloft sometimes? I think a good learning environment has to have, I think, the tenet that brave failure is preferable to timid success. By which I mean I think our minds are great and powerful things, and I think that to have courage inform our thinking and to be able to go out perhaps past where we may be comfortable, to go into the unknown between human beings and see where that takes us, to not stay safe in our own position but to make it safe for other people to be able to share—I think that’s where we get to new ideas. I think that’s where we get to brave ideas. I think that’s where we get to solutions that we might not otherwise have found. So fostering an environment that where people can be brave and where ideas don’t always have to be pristine, I think, is very important.

The evolution of homosexuality: A new theory | Richard Prum

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink Richard Prum: Diversity in sexual attraction found in people is a fundamental aspect of human biology, yet it’s actually been poorly described or poorly theorized in previous evolutionary biology. I don’t know if people know so much about sociobiology specifically, but one way to get at that might be to talk about the definition of fitness and how that lead to certain views about the inevitability of adaptation as a strong force; The beauty happens theory is the idea that ornament evolves merely because it’s attractive or beautiful. The beauty happens idea is contrasted with the more popular theory that comes from Alfred Russell Wallace about the evolution of ornament as a kind of practical indicator of mate quality. The aesthetic view of evolution provides some really interesting insights into the evolution of human sexuality, and in particular human sexual diversity. So individuals that are attracted to the same sex are frequently imagined to evolve because they provide help to their kin, that is, if there are some people in any social group that are non-reproductive because of their sexual preferences then they will be helping with raising of their nieces and nephews. This is sort of the “helpful uncle” hypothesis. The problem with that idea is that it should actually lead to a kind of asexual phenotype or an asexual behavior; it doesn’t actually describe the evolution of sexual attraction itself. Well the aesthetic view of evolution proposes that we should put subjective experience—that is, the nature of animal and human desire—at the center of our scientific explanation. So in order to explain same sex attraction in people we need to actually ask: how could same sex attraction actually evolve? Well, in the book I propose that human same sex attraction evolved specifically because it contributed to female sexual autonomy or to the freedom of choice. What I mean by that is that in the case of female/female sexual relationships they could contribute to female alliances that could protect females from sexual coercion by male hierarchical groups. At the same time I propose that male/male sexual attraction could have evolved because any social situation in which males have multiple sexual outlets would have contributed to female freedom to move among individuals in that social system and to avoid coercion and sexual violence. This is a new aesthetic theory of the evolution of same-sex behavior in people, and I think it’s one that deserves really serious consideration as we move forward.

Why thinking on paper is a fast way to focus | Ryder Carroll

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink Ryder Carroll: I think one thing that we often kind of forget is just because something is convenient does not make it efficient. So a lot of times with data entry if you type, for example, it happens a lot faster but in that process a lot gets lost because you’re just kind of parroting the source, and I think that it’s really important to actually hear what’s being said than just simply kind of spitting it back out onto paper. So when you’re writing a lot of the time what you want to do is reduce the amount of information that you’re capturing only down to what truly matters. So you’re distilling information in real time. And in order to do that you have to think about what truly matters. And I feel like writing by hand allows us to think significantly more about the information that we are writing down. I mean the actual act of writing activates very many different parts of our brain simultaneously. From the signs that I’ve seen it doesn’t happen when you’re typing. So, for example, students that were separated into two separate groups – one was allowed to take notes via handwriting and the other via typing. And the group that wrote by hand retained the information significantly longer and significantly more accurately. So I think that when you concentrate and you focus on writing you are engaging with content significantly more. You have to. The weight of the pen, the ideas, the concepts that you’re trying to distill down to what matters, how your handwriting looks, how quickly you’re writing and all those things immediately focus your attention more so than I would say typing would. For the last ten years I’ve been a digital product designer and I noticed that my journaling actually allowed me to think in a completely different way. So even when I would be designing different kinds of software applications from watch interfaces to video game interfaces it always started out on paper. And over time I realized that the more I could actually take my thoughts offline, the clearer they would become and the more I could focus. Because you could sit down and start typing out, you can journal in an app but I notice I’d be journaling in an app and the next thing I knew I’m ordering shoes online and you have no idea how you got from one point to the other. But when you sit down with a notebook and as soon as you engage with the page you are unplugged. So it forces you to really engage with your thoughts in a way that I feel has not been accurately replicated in the digital space. So for me the act of Bullet journaling is an act of thinking. It’s an act of unplugging and actually processing the information. And in my community I’ve found that that’s also provided significant value to people who get caught up in the rush of everyday life. It’s a moment that you can take back. It’s a moment where you can really have the luxury of sitting down and starting to digest the things that you otherwise can easily be overwhelmed by. So decision fatigue is when you find yourself literally exhausted by the amount of decisions that you have to make because we’re constantly inundated by so many different things from so many different channels. All that information requires our attention, and a lot of that information actually requires us to act. And acting on information is essentially making a decision. So do you want to go watch this movie? Do you want to go on this trip? Do you want to respond to this email? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? You have to constantly keep asking yourself and you’re making decisions.

Being busy all the time is a habit you made. You can unmake it. | Dan Pontefract

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink The current approach today is essentially we’ve entered into a culture of freneticism—that’s a Big Think word, and that means we’re really busy. But I believe we’ve created the business on ourselves. Ultimately we’ve become distracted by SQUIRREL the next thing that pops into our head or the next thing that pops onto our device or the next thing that pops into our laptop; we’re addressing it. And for some reason we think it’s a good idea to attend to every notification, every want of an employee, every need of a boss. And so we are loading ourselves up with more to do. We are ultimately working on the next thing while we’re doing the current thing at the same time. We think that multitasking is a badge of honor. We think that “do more with less” is the corporate mantra that’s going to take us to gold medal plates. And it’s frightening. And what we need to do is to take a step back and say, “How did we get here, is it good, and what’s in store for the future?” We go from one meeting to another. We’re in a peripatetic state. We’re just ultimately going from the 8:00 to the 9:00 to the 10:00 to the 11:00. We used to go out for lunch and pause, but now we go get lunch, we bring it to our desk and we stare at another device trying to catch up with everything we haven’t done between 8:00 and 12:00, and then we go to the next meeting at 1:00, and we end up at 5:00. And then maybe we pick up the kids or we’ve got to go to soccer practice. And instead of looking at the soccer practice and the kids at that soccer practice we’re looking at our device, because there’s eight more texts and 15 more emails that have come in. And now it’s 7:00 and you’ve got to make dinner. And at 7:00 and it’s dinner you’re like “Well, I don’t actually know how to make dinner anymore” so you order. And then while you’re ordering you’re attending to all your social streams.You’re saying “Oh! Well, I forgot how much I like dopamine, so I like those red things on my phone and my laptop that say hey, I’ve got eight likes on Instagram and 24 likes on Facebook. Maybe I’ll post more.” And then all of a sudden 16 more emails come in and you’ve got 14 more tasks to do because now you’re at 9:00. “Well, I don’t know, maybe I should just watch something”.

The tragedy of this American moment: Populism, elites, and the 2020 election | Anand Giridharadas

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink Anand Giridharadas: You know that old saying about the fox guarding a henhouse? So I like to tell a different version of that story with a backstory. We’re the hens, regular people trying to live our lives. And we had a guard of the henhouse—it was the government. It wasn’t perfect but it did a reasonable job of protecting us from each other, guarding equality, making sure none of the hens were pecking the other hens too much. And then came along the last 30 to 40 years a fox, and the fox is big business and wealthy people. And the fox didn’t like the guard because the fox kind of... wanted the hens to itself. And so what did the fox do? Bit that guard in the leg. It argued that government was bad, “The government was the enemy,” and defunded government, had fought for lower taxes so government could do less stuff. Then the guard starts stumbling away and bleeding out. Off the scene the hens are unguarded, and the fox presents itself to the hens and says, “What a shame! Government is just not what it used to be, not protecting you! Not fighting for you. It’s so inefficient. It’s so, gosh, that’s so sad. Well, let me step in! I’m rich and I’m here to help.” Well, rich people and wealthy corporations spent a generation waging a war on government, defunding government, allowing social problems to fester and allowing their own profits to soar. And then, with government weakened, social problems multiplying and their own pockets full, they reinvent themselves as the new replacement of government, which is—instead of trickle down economics we now have trickle down change: Let them make their fortune, and then they’ll just throw some social change down from the mountain. Well we have to decide in America if that’s the kind of change we want. But what I do know is if you project that kind of change backwards throughout time we wouldn’t have created most of the change that we all take for granted today. I mean if—there would, frankly, have been no New Deal. There’s be no modern American economy if we had depended on the powerful to throw down scraps.

The huge social impact of learning to love books | James Patterson

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink There’s a program that I’m involved with at the University of Florida, right now Florida the percentage of kids reading at grade level is 43 percent. The best in the country is Massachusetts at 62 percent so nobody should be standing up and going look at our stay we’re 62 percent. So it’s not good anywhere. The University of Florida has been working on a program for five years up in the Gainesville area, not Gainesville itself because there are too many professor’s kids in the town, but outside and they have it up into the 80s. So I’ve been working with them and we went to the state legislature in April and we met with the head of the senate and several senators and the house and they gave us two counties in Florida and they said you don’t have to get 80s but if you get good numbers you get numbers in the 60s we will take that program across the state, which would be spectacular. It’s a win/win/win for the kids, it’s a win for the teachers, it’s a win for the state. Everybody wins. And when I go and talk to the legislature and when I go in and talk to big groups of librarians or teachers I’ll always say I’m here to save lives. And I really want people to get that in their heads because that’s what’s happening. I go sometimes now to prisons and primarily what you’ll find there are a lot of relatively young African-American kids, and most of whom didn’t read at all in high school or almost none, weren’t good readers; now they read like crazy because it’s the only thing they can do. And the irony is incredible. Most of them are pretty good readers now. Had they learned, had we got that percentage of kids reading at grade level up higher to the point where they got to high school they were competent readers they might have stayed with it. But if you get to high school, you get to the ninth grade and you are really like, “A-bra-ham Li—,” you know, you can’t keep up here, and you go “I can’t do this. It’s not relevant, I can’t do it, so I’m not going to stay here, I’m not going to stay in school,” which is a disaster. And I really mean it when I say that we can save lives—and thousands of lives. If we do this thing in Florida we will save thousands of lives in Florida. And any state that can solve the problem is going to save thousands of lives. Plus you can improve the economics of the state because you’re going to have that many more people who can go out into the workforce, that have choices. That’s important. It’s a hugely important thing. And I think it’s kind of a sacred mission. I have an imprint at Little Brown called Jimmy Books and our mission, which is—I think kind of simple but I think it’s smart—is when a kid finishes a Jimmy Book they’ll say, “Please give me another book,” as opposed to, “I hate books. I don’t like to read.” Because there are millions of kids running around this country right now that do not like to read, they’ve been introduced to it incorrectly. If we taught film to little kids and we started with Ingmar Bergman movies, then they’ll go “Oh I don’t really like movies.” And unfortunately that’s what we do with kids in a lot of English classes! Let’s go through a million rules you need to learn, and that’s not the most interesting thing, and then we’re going to make you read a lot of stuff that isn’t really relevant to you yet or you’re not really that interested, and then you wonder why kids are going, “I don’t like to read.” Because you’re introducing it to them badly. So I want to try to make sure that what we do that they’re going to love the stories and at the end of it they’re going to say “give me another book.” Not junk, not like the kind of food you can’t remember whether you ate or not; I want them to remember that they read a book, but that they want another book.

Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova on feminism, abortion, and dehumanization

Feminism that doesn't benefit men isn't really feminism. Gender is a palette you can draw with; the self is a piece of art. Women should have rights equal to those of men, end of story. Read more at BigThink.com: https://ift.tt/2ElgeBg Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink Transcript: I think feminism that doesn’t benefit man is not my feminism. I mean it doesn’t really exist because feminism is something about equality, right. Feminism means that you can choose what kind of gender from like so you see gender as a palette and you can draw with this pallet freely. And ideally, you would have as much power over creating yourself as a piece of art as you can. So I see that’s their many of evolving as a human being or as a humanity, right. So we were given will and we were given mind for some reason I guess to define ourselves to think about our social presence and to think to redefine our existence by ourselves and within our community and within our society. So feminism it’s a great tool that helps us to understand actually that throughout history for some reason that one part of humanity was deprived from having basic human rights. For some weird reason that they don’t have a dick, right. That they don’t have a dick, if you don’t have a dick then you have to I don’t know be a slave. That’s strange right. And so feminism is about equality and how feminism can be against man I don’t know. It is really interesting for me or for a Russian activist that is the question here is do women have the right to have abortions or not. In Russia it’s completely out of the question. Like we just do have this right and like snow is white. Women have right to have abortions. That’s the end of the story. And then just to think why is it like that in Russia. Because unfortunately for a lot of American people it’s kind of thought that Russia is not as developed as America which is not true at all. We had amazing experience of soviet experiment and it brought us a lot of terrible things including extinction of philosophy and art and me as a philosophy student I really suffered from that. But at the same time it brought a lot of brilliant things. A strong feminist socialist movement and at the beginning of the twenties Russian women once and for all I think realized that they do have the right to control their bodies. Then so they were given the right to have abortion in the twenties. Then they lost this right when Stalin came to power but then they got it back in 1953. And since then they always had this right. I don’t like to answer on nasty things with nasty words even when I was attacked in McDonald’s in Moscow with this green liquid medicine in my eyes and some metal objects thrown in my and Masha’s, my colleague, heads. Like what I did in that instance I just came to those people and hugged them and then asked quiet why did you do that. And then I saw something in their eyes like they were, they started to think that actually we are human beings. Because in all this, this beginning of when you dehumanize other. So I don’t want to dehumanize people who hate feminism.

Populist psychology: How class division empowers autocratic leaders | Michele Gelfand

Working-class people take rules more seriously. Upper- and middle-class people do not. Why? The latter have financial and social safety nets, so they can afford to break some rules. Research shows that, by the age of three, working-class children are primed to be more rigid about rules. Those rules help working-class people survive what sociologists call 'hard living': extreme poverty, dangerous jobs, and unsafe neighborhoods. Having strong rules increases chances of safety and survival. Harnessing this evolutionary psychology can be very powerful in politics. Populists like Donald Trump or Marine Le Pen exaggerate fear and threat to gain popularity. They understand "the role of fear and threat in mobilizing people to want more tightness and to want autocratic leaders," Gelfand explains. In Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire the World, Michele Gelfand explains her research into 'tight' and 'loose' cultures. Read more at BigThink.com: https://ift.tt/2yz4yon Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink Transcript: You know I think often we think about social class as just being about our bank accounts. We don’t sort of think about how is class cultural, truly cultural in terms of differences in values and norms that are socialized in different groups for good reasons. And tightness, looseness it just doesn’t differentiate in nations and states. It also differentiates social class with the same exact logic. We went out and we’ve been serving people from the working class and people from the middle and upper classes. And what’s fascinating is when we ask people about rules, just tell us five words that when you think of for rules we see that the working class sees rules very positively. Rules in the working class are important. They’re important for helping people to slide into hard living as sociologists would call it. To poverty, to the dregs of poverty. Rules are helpful if you’re going to be going into occupations where there’s a lot of danger, where there’s less discretion. The middle class and upper class they saw rules more negatively. They saw it as goody two shoes when you’re following the rules. For the working class rules are important for survival. For the middle class there’s a safety net so you can actually afford to be rule breaking in this context. And what’s fascinating is we measure the ZIP codes of people coming into our lab and then we track the neighborhoods they live in. And for sure the working class live in much more threatening environments when it comes to crime, unemployment. They report being subject to many more threats. What’s remarkable is this starts very early. We wanted to see how early can we see these differences developing. And we started to see this even as early as three years old. And what we did was we brought three year olds into the lab, working class and middle class kids. And you can’t exactly ask them about rules, right. But what we did was we borrowed a technique from the Max Planck Institute where we had them interacting with a puppet. His name was Max The Puppet. And they got to know him and they enjoyed playing with him. And Max The Puppet suddenly after a little while became Max the norm violator. He started violating all the rules of the game and announcing that he’s actually playing the game correctly. And we simply wanted to know how did the kids react. Is there a different reaction by age three. And there sure was. The middle class in general were much more like got a laugh and kind of let it go. And the working class kids were very much more – the working class kids wanted Max the puppet to stop. They told him to stop. They told him it was wrong. And parents by the age of three are already socializing their kids to enable to help them fit into the kind of threatening or nonthreatening environments they’re going to be working in. So it’s really important to see that these differences arise for a reason and they arise early.

The teenage brain: Why some years are (a lot) crazier than others | Robert Sapolsky

Read more at BigThink.com: Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink Robert Sapolsky: Neurobiologically the single most important fact about, say, a 20 year old brain is the fact that almost all of it is already matured, fully wired up—myelinated, a jargon-y term for it. The reward dopamine system has been going full blast, and somewhere around like early puberty all of the brain is totally up to speed—except for the frontal cortex. Probably the most interesting fact about human development is the frontal cortex is the last part of the brain to fully mature. It is not completely online until you’re about 25 years old, which is mind-boggling to think about. What does that explain? That explains why adolescents are adolescent in their behavior. The sensation-seeking, the risk-taking; the highs are higher and the lows are lower, because the steadying frontal cortical hand there isn’t fully up to speed yet, and everything else is a gyroscope out of control. And that’s where the impulsivity is from. And that’s where the extremes of behavior, and that’s why most crime is committed by people at a stage whose frontal cortex is not fully developed yet. That is why most people who do astonishing wondrously self-sacrificial things don’t have the frontal cortex that’s fully in gear yet either and is not in a position to convince them yet “Ah, somebody else’s problem. Look the other way.” That’s why young adults are exactly how they are. Because the frontal cortex isn’t quite there yet, and what you have as a result is more adventurousness and more open to novelty and more likelihood of seeing somebody who’s very different as, in fact, not being that different after all. And more likely to grab a cudgel and smash in somebody’s skull who happens to seem like a “Them”. And everything, just the tone of everything, is pushed up. One incredibly important implication of that is, if the frontal cortex is the last part of the brain to fully mature it means it’s the part of the brain that is most sculpted by environment and experience—and least constrained by genes. And it’s the most interesting part of the brain. Meanwhile, look at the other end of it. Look at 60-year-old’s and what’s going on there. If you are a 60 year old human, or say a rat equivalent of a 60 year old, you are far more closed to novelty than a 20 year old, than an adolescent rat is. Take a rat, for example, and see at what points in life is it willing to try a new food: And exactly the equivalent of late teenage years, early adulthood, and then you close to novelty. Any species out there shows that pattern including humans. So a 60 year old is resistant to change, is resistant to somebody else’s novelty. A 60 year old unlike a 20 year old deals with stress in a very particular way. If you’re 20 what stress management is about is trying to overcome the stressor and defeat it. If you’re 60 what stress management is about is learning to accommodate what things you’re not going to be able to change, and there’s nothing you can do about the fact that your knees hurt like hell; and it’s accommodating, it’s learning the difference between what you can change and what you can’t. If you’re 20 there’s nothing in the world you can’t change. By the time you’re 60 what knowledge, (which intelligence is mostly about) is crystallized fact-based knowledge, and crystallized strategies for dealing with that knowledge. What a 20 year old intelligence is about is fluid, improvising, changing of set, reversing of orders. All of that is a very, very different sort of picture. So 20 and 60 year old brains and 20 and 60 year old social worlds are remarkably different.
