Like Why Should We Trust Smiles When They’re So Easy To Fake?February 24, 2021 at 3:33 PM “The trouble is that smiling is easy to do. If flashing a smile can so easily convey good intent, it could be ‘hacked’ by unscrupulous individuals who want you to think that they’re trustworthy so they can exploit you. These kinds of ‘false smiles’ certainly happen in everyday life, yet we still generally trust smiles. In my research, I wanted to understand why.” – PsycheTags: Art, Ideas, 02.23.21 24 people like this.

Like Why Librarians Have Been Unsuccessful At Fighting MisinformationFebruary 24, 2021 at 2:29 PM “This failure has many roots: The low social status of teachers and librarians relative to those in other professions, the lack of consistent instruction about information and media literacy across students’ educational experience, the diminishment of the humanities as a core element of general education, and the difficulty of keeping up with technological change and digital culture have all played a role. So has the fact that information literacy has no specific place in the curriculum.” – The ...Tags: Art, Ideas, 02.22.21 46 people like this.

Like Why Literary Canons Are ImportantFebruary 24, 2021 at 12:28 PM “For those who view the very notion of the canon as inherently elitist, it’s worth noting that the phenomena mostly clearly implicated in its formation were the democratizing processes of the late 19th and early 20th century: the massive extension of free education—not just to little white proto-patriarchs, but to girls, and children from diverse communities as well—together with the technological improvements in the replication and dissemination of literary texts.” – LitHubTags: Art, Words, 02.19.21 4 people like this.
