Wanna know why #psycholinguistics is so fascinating?
In a 2001 #experiment participants saw sentences like
"While Mary dressed the baby played in the crib."
Then they had to answer the question:
"Did Mary dress the baby?"
Up to 51% of all answers where "Yes!" – and participants were *very* confident about their answers.
🤯

We've been out a bit. We hiked up the #wallberg near #tegernsee.
First half was without snow, second half was snowy. But as it is a very frequented route, it wasn't a problem at all. Near the top there were really a lot of people (thanks to the rope way 🚡).
Together with brig…

Ist die vermeintliche Manipulierbarkeit digitalisierter Inhalte, die auch hier angeführt wird, tatsächlich ein valides Argument? Die Kryptographie sollte doch Authentizität garantieren können. Da ist es wohl leichter, ein physisches Exempl. zu fälschen als ein signiertes Digitalisat. Oder übersehe ich da etwas?

O sancta simplicitas! Kultur-Staatsminister Wolfram Weimer demontiert die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek
Wenn Kultur-Staatsminister Wolfram Weimer den lang geplanten und penibel durchkalkulierten Erweiterungsbau der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek (DNB) in Leipzig wieder von der Liste seiner Bauvorhaben streicht, wie jetzt bekannt wurde, so könnte er dafür haushaltsrechtliche Zwänge angeben und um Verständnis werben.

A cancer diagnosis can push people to crime
Even generous welfare states are not immune to a “Breaking Bad” effect
