  1. Is there any “wiki” style project where one can refer to past events and disclosures about leaders, companies and celebrities after all “this blows over” in “a few years”?

    I wanna know when I apply for a job in 2030 what the CEO said in 2021/22 before laying off all their staff. (Eg, Mullenwig, Zuckerberg suddenly pivoting back to sounding woke again)

    I wanna know which Billionaire strong armed other businesses into dropping people like Mackelmore for calling for basic human rights so that I can decide if I want to fund their machine when I see a cool metal or folk band in 2028.

    I wanna know how much money and political BS a VPN company was recorded doing when I have a subscription about to renew next year, and the year after, when they suddenly start advertising on all my favorite podcasts.

    I wanna know which authors wrote smut and then silently ret-conned their ebooks by pushing an update to remove a sex scene from a smut book to conform to some outside pressure so that I don’t buy their next sci-fi or fantasy hit that is featured on all the media rounds.

    I wanna know that people like Tucker Carleson took Fox’s money to spread election propaganda and hate and suddenly decided that criticizing Israel for human rights abuses will make him more money than spreading hate and suspiciously reasonable takes from their shows start flooding my social media algorithm.

    I wanna know when an action camera company that is publicly stock traded gets purchased by a private company that sells “defense” industry products to any government interested in monitoring innocent people.

  14. Allocation of Blame After a Safety Incident

    This single page conference paper discussed an experiment on how blame is allocated following incidents.

    The scenario was a “realistic, but fictitious” incident involving a worker (both experienced or not experienced, depending on the scenario), whom is killed when touching an energised bus bar while feeding electrical wire into a pedestal.

    They systematically manipulated the quality of the warning the worker received in a) a real warning on a commercial product 2) a redesigned warning and 3) the worker’s on-the-job experience.

    For background they note that the “quality of warning interacts with efforts on the part of various potentially blameworthy entities (e.g., manufacturers, distributors, employers)to do their part in disseminating warning materials down the chain to end users”.

    They predicted that experienced workers would receive more blame than inexperienced, independent of warning quality.

    Key finding:

    ·        “participants apportioned most of the blame to the electrician (M=58.60, SD = 26.07), who was depicted as having failed in his duty to secure protective covers over the energized bus bars”

    ·        “The manufacturer received the next highest percentage of blame (M=19.87, SD=24.33), followed by the decedent (M=14.60, SD=20.02) and job fore-man (M=14.00, SD=16.70)”

    ·        “The effect of warning quality on blame allocated to the manufacturer was significant .. indicating that manufacturers received significantly less blame (M=13.86, SD=20.47) for the accident given the (better) re-designed warning than they did in the original (poor) warning condition”

    ·        “Neither the effect of worker experience nor the interaction of experience and warning condition were significant”

    ·        “Contrary to our predictions, the worker’s level of experience did not influence allocations of blame, including to the manufacturer”

    ·        “Warning quality, however, did influence how blame was apportioned, in particular to the manufacturer”

    ·        “Consequently, these findings add to the growing body of evidence suggesting that safety sells”

    ·        “Specifically, evaluators consistently assign less blame to manufacturers when they are perceived as adequately warning about their products’ residual hazards”
