So...for those of you who know Srav, she is back on the Rock. It is also a New Year! Sounds to me like the perfect time to restart providing random tibits of information for people.
Watch This.
The above is a video link to something that I cannot believe aired in the Arab nations. "Here is a powerful and amazing statement on Al Jazeera television. The woman is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist from Los Angeles . I would suggest watching it ASAP because I don't know how long the link will be active. This film clip should be shown around the world repeatedly!"
It's definitely an AWESOME statement and I hope she continues to speak out.
Here is another link. THIS is the salmon dance. It is totally not serious, but it is very cool ;)
In other news...last night I thought of something and was like "oh man, I should write about this tomorrow." I think it may be semi-interesting to the philosphers/anthropology peoples.
A lie-detector test is not faultless. But we still use it. But, it is not only faulty because it sometimes does not work because of electronical troubles.
Hypothetically speaking, let's say I administer a lie detector test to someone named Bertha G (who is a very nice old lady that helped me find tofu in the grocery store, although I don't think she had ever heard of it before). Now, I show Bertha G a color wheel. I KNOW that color 1 is red and color 2 is green. But Bertha G also KNOWS that color 1 is green and color 2 is red. We'll amount this to a generation/cultural gap. So when I give her the test, I know that she's lying when she says "Color 2 is red" because I know that color 2 is actually green. But the machine says she's telling the truth. Because she is. Because it's the truth for her.
Someone can tell me what theory I just explained above. (cough cough tony srav or michelle).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SRAV!!!!!!!!
but in your example.. the polygraph is not at fault, the people are!
ReplyDeletei defer to michelle and tony on this one. my head is currently full of genetics and parasitology. ;)
