Parts of it could be done, but it would always stop at “the subject is uncomfortable”, which is the whole point of why changing someone’s mind against delusions, illusions and propaganda is hard. They don’t want to, so without some treatment experiments that would certainly not meet today’s medical and/or psychological standards, we wouldn’t get an answer to many questions.
You could make a TV show sure, but all the wrong people would tune in.
A bit contemporary, but I’d like to have studied what it takes to break someone of illusions that were fed and forced on them externally, e.g. schooling, TV, social media and other forms of cultural imprinting and propaganda.
We’ve all had that “what would it take to get this person to realize how far off base they are?” question, it would be fascinating, in a no-holds barred experiment testing various solutions and combinations to find out which is the most effective.
E.g. someone believes climate change isn’t real because (x,y,z irrelevant). No amount of written evidence is effective to people who don’t understand the scientific method, so would it be videos, traveling to acutely affected places, having polar bears removed from all zoos, baseball bats on their knuckles when they make a logical fallacy?
It would be interesting to then categorize the types of delusions or illusions and then prescribe treatment based on these results.
Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd already published the definitive paper on this.
“We know where the are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.” - Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense while being publicly questioned on the validity of claims of WMDs in lead up to invasion of Iraq.
Rumsfeld of the “known knowns”.
I imagine part of the reason why this was done was to not only have the road, but have it be much less susceptible to erosion so it last longer and is safer. I’m definitely no public works engineer but seems Iike the different tiers would help stop/limit slides
I would like this style for new Firefox logo
Having a place for things. Never having to look for “x”. Keys, wallet, which type of utensil goes in which slot in the silverware holder. I have saved so much time, avoided problems and given myself mental breaks by simply putting things where they’re needed and being consistent.
Whatever you’re doing now, you should be paid a lot in marketing, data analysis or sales consultancy. You’re an artist who mastered multiple crafts and the real value is the street sense and willingness to go with your gut when the data thins out. Thanks for sharing.
These are smaller drinking vessels, so giblets.
Grew up on retro console and then fully grew with PC gaming as it grew and matured in the 90s. Tried Halo once in 2003 and the graphics and gameplay for death match were so consummately uncreative I pitied console gamers ever since.

Thanks to massive lobbying, and this won’t surprise anyone on Lemmy, but cosmetics as a whole have no regulatory oversight mechanism. The FDA can recommend things and it’s up to corporations to self-regulate, which usually works well with no significant fines to deter bad actors.
Don’t let your kids use anything.
Nauseated. Though as an American I’m about ready to give up on this crusade. Nauseous means you make others want to vomit.
Just wait until patrols are added and cults start making trips to pray to such quantities of water.
You need to chat with Adrian Wapcaplett, he’s a partner at a marketing firm that can sell just about anything.
It doesn’t answer your specific question and isn’t meant to be preachy, just want to say that I’m shocked more people don’t use public libraries for books they don’t want to keep forever. Check it out as often as you want, no need to keep it on a shelf, if you really love it, then buy it.
That’s actually part of the shipping package for new Windows boxes due to Recall and all the other shit they want to stuff in there.
