    Kann ich Spenden an #Edri in Deutschland geltend machen oder nicht?
    Ich befürchte: Nein.

  2. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 83 (3.14.83) (1951)

  7. A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

  12. As a recent shift-vert to @AskLumo: is there a button for turning off the #sycophancy? I have modified the "style" in the one Project on my free plan. I don't want to include anti-sycophancy prompts with every other inquiry.

    It feels yucky to have my ego stroked by a machine, and I don't need it ~ I need clear, objective perspective on my blind spots.

    I see this is a "known bug", so consider this my ticket: #global #antisycophancy #settings please.

  13. @stefanmuelller Ich finde es einigermaßen unterhaltsam, dass auf Kulturkampf spezialisierte „Skeptiker“, die sonst das Hohelied der wissenschaftlichen Methodik singen, Ungereimtheiten wie diese komplett ausblenden, so lange man endlich mal wieder polarisieren darf.

  20. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

       “You don’t seem to give much thought to the matter in hand,” I said at last, interrupting Holmes’s musical disquisition.
       “No data yet,” he answered. “It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgement.”

  25. A quotation from Claude Bernard

    But it happens further quite naturally that men who believe too firmly in their theories, do not believe enough in the theories of others. So the dominant idea of these despisers of their fellows is to find others’ theories faulty and to try to contradict them. […] They make experiments only to destroy a theory, instead of to seek the truth. At the same time, they make poor observations, because they choose among the results of their experiments only what suits their object, neglecting whatever is unrelated to it, and carefully setting aside everything which might tend toward they idea they wish to combat.
     
    [Mais il arrive encore tout naturellement que ceux qui croient trop à leurs théories ne croient pas assez à celles des autres. Alors l’idée dominante de ces contempteurs d’autrui est de trouver les théories des autres en défaut et de chercher à les contredire. […] Ils ne font des expériences que pour détruire une théorie, au lieu de les faire pour chercher la vérité. Ils font également de mauvaises observations, parce qu’ils ne prennent dans les résultats de leurs expériences que ce qui convient à leur but, en négligeant ce qui ne s’y rapporte pas, et en écartant bien soigneusement tout ce qui pourrait aller dans le sens de l’idée qu’ils veulent combattre.]

  26. 4/ Klaus Hillenbrand schreibt: „50 Jahre später sind sich nicht nur versprengte #DDR-Nostalgiker, sondern größere Teile der linken Bewegung in Deutschland darin einig, dass der #Zio­nismus zu den Grundübeln zählt.“

    Ich weiß nicht, was und wen er hier meint. Ich hatte ihm aber den Blog-Post unter 3/ geschickt und auch den Blog-Post zum Thema Ossi und Holocaust, weil er in einem früheren Beitrag behauptet hatte, der Osten sei antisemitisch gewesen.

    Ich verstehe nicht, warum Westler diese ganze Evidenz irgendwie ignorieren. Was kann man noch tun?

    Die DDR fand Israel ab dem Moment schlecht, ab dem klar war, dass Israel zum anderen Block gehören würde. Sie war gegen die israelische Regierung (siehe Post bei 3) und gegen die völkerrechtswidrigen Annektionen, aber nicht gegen Juden per se.

    Wenn Hillenbrand mich mit DDR-Nostalgiker meint, hat er mich verletzt und gekränkt.

    Ich weiß nicht, warum Ihr mir folgt. Bilder, Klima, blöde Sprüche und launische Kommentare zu Zeug, das ich gelesen habe, Sprachwissenschaft? Ich hoffe, dass Ihr aber alle merkt, dass ich kein DDR-Nostalgiker bin.

    Ich hänge den #Holocaust-Blog an. Ich weiß wirklich nicht, was man noch tun kann. Die Urteile scheinen gefällt zu sein. Nicht revidierbar. Wenn ein #Ossi und ein #Wessi in dieselbe Ausstellung im Jüdischen Museum gehen, sehen sie völlig verschiedene Dinge. #ConfirmationBias

    Was schlimm ist: Jegliches Nachdenken kann man sich als Westler sparen, indem man eins von zwei Schlagwörtern verwendet: #JammerOssi und #DDRNostalgiker bzw. #Ostalgie.

    Die Ostalgie kommt ja auch in dem anderen Thread über den Podcast mit #AnneRabe vor.

    Mit dem Jammer-Ossi tut man Kummer einfach ab und mit dem Nostalgie-Vorwurf stellt man das Gegenüber in die Ecke der Menschen mit verschobener Erinnerung.

    Jammer-Ossi bin ich nun gar nicht und ich denke, dass die Erinnerung auch genug von den Scheußlichkeiten der DDR-Zeit hervorkramt.

  29. A quotation from Claude Bernard

    Men who have excessive faith in their theories or ideas are not only ill prepared for making discoveries; they also make very poor observations. Of necessity, they observe with a preconceived idea, and when they devise an experiment, they can see, in its results, only a confirmation of their theory. In this way they distort observation and often neglect very important facts because they do not further their aim.
     
    [Les hommes qui ont une foi excessive dans leurs théories ou dans leurs idées sont non-seulement mal disposés pour faire des découvertes, mais ils font aussi de très-mauvaises observations. Ils observent nécessairement avec une idée préconçue, et quand ils ont institué une expérience, ils ne veulent voir dans ses résultats qu’une confirmation de leur théorie. Ils défigurent ainsi l’observation et négligent souvent des faits très-importants, parce qu’ils ne concourent pas à leur but.]

  30. Wie wir Wirklichkeit entwerfen – und warum das für uns als Gesellschaft so wichtig ist

    Was ist wahr? Diese Frage klingt so schlicht, doch sie beschäftigt Philosophen seit Jahrtausenden und auch mich immer wieder.
