The so-called #audiophile community is famous for the amount of #woo that passes for knowledge or expertise.

When you look at the DIY audio community - building things up from #electronic components or modules - you add in the cargo-cult processes used by people with no basic electronics knowledge building these things, and the false-but-confident beliefs of those with some knowledge but more assurance of their own intelligence 🙄 - and you get some real doozies in discussion threads [1] on audio/electronics fora.

I just came across one that will stick with me:

A: I saw some people are doing <X> to increase the bass from this little amp. Should I do it?

B (actually knowledgeable): Depends on the design. If it's lacking <Y>, it can help the subjective bass response of the amp.

C (overly confident): BS! OBJECTIVELY (!) you get more and better boom.
Boom-boom, you know? Your guts will tell you the objective truth.

... that is LITERALLY the definition of "subjective". 🤣

[1] A.K.A. arguments on the instalment plan.

“… A primary goal of this change is to ensure that the #judiciary operates in a manner that is #objectively #respectful of the individual #identity & personal #pronouns of the members of the #public that we #serve, regardless of the #subjective #viewpoints of individuals working within the #court system,” #Justice Elizabeth Welch wrote in a concurring statement.

Quick shout-out for one of the nicest, most thoughtful papers I've read in a long time:

Narrative thinking lingers in spontaneous thought

'Some experiences linger in mind, spontaneously returning to our thoughts for minutes after their conclusion...our thoughts in the present moment echo prior experiences that have been incorporated into deeper, narrative forms of thinking'

great research project about "AI" uses that treat people as objects based on flawed/biased database :
https://socialnui.unimelb.edu.au/research/biometric-mirror/

(note the delicious retro GUI style )

great also this is done properly in a lab, presented as social research, and not in the wild presented as "art experience" ... ;)
