@ProfFeynman This tweet is the only source of this quote so I can only assume it was not said by Feynman.
@A_Weatherall The tweets are also often not from Feynman himself but rather random pithy quotes attached to him.
From Bryan Caplan's @bryan_caplan blog: How to Talk to People: Econ vs. Psych disq.us/t/460fx9s
@michaelshermer Was there a specific rule that she broke?
@psychunseen This is a big issue in critical thinking education. Students who do well in critical thinking courses are not always more likely to think critically.
2/ Contrary to some opinions, it's not that we've lost our ability to think critically—we're just as good/bad at that as we've ever been. But there's a key distinction between our ability to think critically, which we all have, and the practice of doing so that often eludes us.
@michaelshermer I wonder whether this means people are less religious or whether people feel more comfortable answering "none" on the census.
@JaneTribune @abcnews Big question but do you think these headlines benefit the news sources? Or is it just a case of lazy, biased writing?
@Examinecom These corrected headline memes are really powerful. @janegilmore is a master.
@mgcharumilind @callin_bull I think you've summed up one of the big problems of modern life in five words.
@callin_bull Everything is click bait now 😒
@callin_bull This would be a violation of Grice's Maxim of Quantity, right? They've provided true, clear, and relevant information. However, they've withheld important information to create a false impression.
Our latest installment of Press Releases are Bullshit comes from Yale University's press office. Take a look at the headline. Then read the first six paragraphs. Now tell me: **What virus do you think their intranasal vaccine targets?**
@andre_spicer @nytimes I've noticed that a lot of people's problem with corporate lingo is a resistance to being a member of a community that uses corporate lingo.
@hypotenusewolf @Toomanycheifs @michaelshermer The headline is misleading and designed to make us angry and feed division. snopes.com/fact-check/ore…
@Toomanycheifs @michaelshermer The headline is misleading and Shermer should have done more research before posting it. snopes.com/fact-check/ore…
@michaelshermer This isn't the type of evidence or discourse you promote in your many books.
@michaelshermer Posting screenshots of headlines is not evidence. A few minutes of research shows the reasoning and reasons behind this move. snopes.com/fact-check/ore…
@hilarysutcliffe @Toffeemen68 I like it. It encourages thoughtful engagement with BS rather than blind acceptance or knee-jerk rejection.
