Jason Padgett is the name of the man who suffered an injury and became a savant. You can visit his website here: https://jason-padgett.pixels.com/ My claims about Padgett’s neurological examinations may not be accurate. Although Padgett has been examined neurologically, I was unable to find references to the findings I referred to. It may relate to a separate case. *** Crypto & fiat VISA metal card, free $50 and 2% CASHBACK on all purchases here: https://platinum.crypto.com/r/asger  Ref code: asger  NOTE: You must stake 50 MCO (easily done in the app) to get the free $50 and 2% cashback.  *** Bitcoin at half price event: https://blog.crypto.com/btc-halving-special/ ***  Asger Folmann on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Asger_Folmann  ***  JOIN Meta Quest group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2587879611435927/  ***  Get in touch here: [email protected]  *** #Psychedelics #MagicMushrooms #MetaQuest

Jim Flynn (the Flynn Effect) and Asger Folmann discuss subculture and its link to intelligence, reversal of the Flynn Effect, scientific censorship, intelligence selection pressure, and more. Flynn also explains the trends that lead to his most recent book: A Book Too Risky to Publish, which was, ironically, abandoned by the (first) publisher. Charles Murray, Arthur Jensen, Thomas Sowell, and others, are mentioned.  ***  Flynn’s new book: A Book Too Risky To Publish: Free Speech and Universities https://www.bookdepository.com/Book-Too-Risky-Publish-James-R-Flynn/9781680532197   Flynn’s book on Free Will: Fate & Philosophy: A Journey Through Life's Great Questions: https://amzn.to/2XX9t0C  ***  Crypto & fiat VISA metal card, free $50 and 2% CASHBACK on all purchases here: https://platinum.crypto.com/r/asger  Ref code: asger  NOTE: You must stake 50 MCO (easily done in the app) to get the free $50 and 2% cashback.  ***  Asger Folmann on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Asger_Folmann  ***  Guest requests, topics you want me to explore, and general discussion: JOIN Meta Quest group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2587879611435927/  ***  Get in touch here: [email protected]  *** #JamesFlynn #theFlynnEffect #Intelligence

In this episode, I seek to diagnose one of the major problems in the world right now: that our psychology can be used to manipulate us via social media. I suggest what to look out for, and present probabilistic thinking as the solution. I also conduct a small social experiment on the audience, and present a 6-step formula to gain power on social media.  *** Crypto & fiat VISA card, free $50 and 2% CASHBACK on all purchases here: https://platinum.crypto.com/r/asger      Ref code: asger    NOTE: You must stake 50 MCO (easily done in the app) to get the free $50 and 2% cashback.  *** Crypto Earn: https://crypto.com/en/earn.html  *** Asger Folmann on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Asger_Folmann  ***  Guest requests, topics you want me to explore, and general discussion: JOIN the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2587879611435927/  *** Get in touch here: [email protected]  ***  #psychology #socialmedia #manipulation

Peter Boghossian and Asger Folmann talk about impossible conversations, and how the future of "soft"/social science may look. They also cover social justice warriors, and how several academic fields have become so ideology and agenda driven, that they almost resemble religions. What's the underlying issue, and are there any reasonable solutions? *** Crypto & fiat VISA card, free $50 and 2% CASHBACK on all purchases here: https://platinum.crypto.com/r/asger Ref code: asger    NOTE: You must stake 50 MCO (easily done in the app) to get the free $50 and 2% cashback.  *** Peter’s book, How to Have Impossible Conversations: https://amzn.to/2XkzJSh *** The Grievance Studies Affair: https://bit.ly/2tEAA0g  ***  James Lindsay's website: https://newdiscourses.com/ ***  Disconfirmation = defeasibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defeasibility  ***  Benjamin A Boyce (mentioned ~41 min. mark): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm13xHVNFVwzHzK3QHSaZ3Q/featured  ***  APA Delphi Report: https://www.qcc.cuny.edu/SocialSciences/ppecorino/CT-Expert-Report.pdf ***  Peter Boghossian on Twitter: https://twitter.com/peterboghossian *** Asger Folmann on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Asger_Folmann *** Guest requests, topics you want me to explore, and general discussion: JOIN the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2587879611435927/ *** Get in touch here: [email protected]  *** #PeterBoghossian #SocialJusticeWarriors #Epistemology

After my latest talk with Gordon Gallup, I asked him the legacy question (posed by Gregory Hickok): how did language evolve? We later jumped on a private Skype call and debated this in depth. This episode is an edited version of the conversation we had. And yes, there is a link to humor and orgasms. *** Crypto & fiat VISA card, free $50 and 2% CASHBACK on all purchases here: https://platinum.crypto.com/r/asger Ref code: asger    NOTE: You must stake 50 MCO (easily done in the app) to get the free $50 and 2% cashback.  *** Get in touch here: [email protected]
