Three thin. "'...perhaps to other social factors such as embarrassment.'" There is a lot of interesting philosophy around this. In 2019 Partially Examined Life [1] did an interview with Francis Fukuyama on his book "Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment (2018)" I was reading the HN post on research from Newcastle University on eating with your mouth open published in the Guardian. A HN user shared their own violent thoughts in reaction to this behavior. What's more, this recalled for me a former friend who is from Newcastle, who I'd very much like to punch in the nose. Though, not really. (I'm not a violent person, I just grew up in the 80s when the answer to everything was a puch in the nose. I liked the thought because it seemed ... suited to the medium?) Tie it up in a bow and throw it all away. That's part of human nature. One word in this article was sufficent to bias me against it, where another time I would dismiss it as Twitter-quality research and move on. Then I read this article on Twitter-quality research. I'm a proponent of words matter. Take this passage from the article: “The difference between these results and our prior work on subtle accuracy nudges highlights how complicated the relevant psychology is,” Rand says Complicated or Complex? Recall the maxim: a Swiss watch is complicated. A cockroach is complex. Really? Do researchers read other people's research? Complicated-Complex distinction. It's all the rage. This research is $#!t.
