What control group? Condition 23 was meant to isolate the role the influence of Yale played, yet it was still a setting that the participants considered scientific as evidenced by that quotation of one of the Condition 23 participants. I d

The article goes over several. Off the top of my head: the supposed mental breakdown of Korpi (he was faking it), Zimbardo claiming he wasn't politically motivated, Zimbardo claiming the students were free to leave at any time, Zimbar

I would wager the majority of Christians believe in hell and teach that belief. Perhaps not in San Francisco... but across the country as a whole.

What those shocked people ( Ha ) are often not told is that Milgram went to great lengths to appeal to people's altruism (desire to progress the state of science) when selecting subjects and to persuade them of the scientific validit

You're mistaken, that was about radar not LIDAR. Telsa cars have no LIDAR. The radars in use have poor angular resolution meaning they can tell if something is moving toward or away from it, but cannot tell where that object is. Sinc

This is a deceptive use of statistics because it's papering over all the nuance involved. Not all road miles are equivalent. Specifically, Tesla Autopilot only functions (or is meant to function) in a very narrow subset of all concei

I know they disagree with me, they have multiple reasons to bury their heads in the sand. Admitting they were wrong would be a PR disaster, it would probably hurt Elon's ego, and a recall to retrofit LIDAR would probably be extremely

When is Tesla going to bite the bullet and issue a full recall so they can retrofit all existing Tesla cars with LIDAR? They are still claiming on their website: > "All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have
