Anecdotal and not really a big problem, but it took me having to put my coke in a coffee cup to be taken seriously in meetings to really "get it".

- madez 9y agoThanks for the tip about the cup in meetings. Often these implicit rules are not obvious, so making them explicit is very helpful to work around and maybe even fix them. Humans are guided by stereotypes and superstition and not scepticism and scientific reason. And if there is an individual that is sceptical and demands scientific reason, they are punished socially for it. This makes homo sapiens look a bit bad in my eyes.
- DarkWiiPlayer 9y ago^ nailed it
- 7952 9y agoGood scientific analysis does require a level of domain knowledge though. Otherwise you will be susceptible to those exact issues of sterotyping and superstition. Especially when we are talking about issues that are so complex and have such a long legacy.
- newman8r 9y agoYou also have to sip it slower than you normally would with a coke, taking small sips and exhaling slowly after each sip. But I'm sure you already know that.
- nuffsaid 9y agoI had to put my coke in a small bag in my key pocket to be taken seriously.
- nasredin 9y agoI too was confused when she wrote "coke". Don't think putting a can of Coke in a cup was the problem there. And "coke" and "Coke". Different things.
- sizzle 9y agoI've never heard of this, can you please explain why you aren't taken seriously with a Coke (bottle/can)? Thanks.
