I think Twitter is an automated Skinner Box and we are the rats in an experiment run by Elon.

Let me explain:

Classical Conditioning is associative. Pavlov's Dog is a prime example. Show the dog food and ring a bell. The dog salivates. Keep doing that and soon enough just ringing the bell is enough to make the dog salivate.

Here's a video I made which was originally posted to . But I thought since this is Mastodon I ought post it here via . Hope that works for folks.

It's about Nate Silver and how the ways he reads nonsense into the polls he cites.

Here's an ancient video I made about in the r/politics forum announcing a publisher blacklist back in 2013.

Back then, they blocked almost two hundred news sites because of what they called "bad journalism". Whereupon they banned sites that had just won the Polk Award. And another that had just won a Pulitzer.

But of course, untrained mods know better than professionals working the field. (assholes)
