Soundtrack: EL-P - Flyentology
At the core of Microsoft, a three-trillion-dollar hardware and software company, lies a kind of social poison — an ill-defined, cult-like pseudo-scientific concept called 'The Growth Mindset" that drives company decision-making in everything from how products are sold, to how your on-the-job performance is judged.
I am
Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.
Can you cite where they reference the reproducibility issue in psychology? I thought I read it carefully and thought deeply about my criticism. I don’t expect people to agree, of course, but to engage sincerely. So I went back and scanned it again and still don’t see it mentioned.
Mindset theory itself is incredibly controversial for a number of reasons, chief of which is that nobody can seem to reliably replicate the results of Dweck’s academic work.
Ed links an article that talks about elements of the replication crisis in enough detail for an article where the replication crisis isn’t anywhere near on-topic, and I don’t think the article would be better if it included that detail
feel free to include evidence in your reply that you aren’t here to be a debate shitlord
I’m also confused as to what the takeaway was supposed to be here. Like, because a whole bunch of different famous psych studies fail to replicate maybe this one is less invalid?
Also, were they expecting Ed Zitron of all people to not write a polemical?
amazingly, I’ve seen (and I think banned) people who’ve tried to sealion about the sealion comic. these assholes really are shameless public masturbators
I’m familiar with the original comic. If every attempt to engage in sincere conversations across different points of view on the internet is interpreted sealioning, then there’s no room for sincere engagement.
But this is a matter of perception. Am I a troll or some who sincerely disagrees. I had an honest critique of the article so I expected some heat, but I was that there would be some sincere criticism of the idea. Rather, and shame on me for thinking otherwise, I’ve been called names and my criticism has been dismissed whole cloth. I’m a little surprised that this is as hurtful as it is and that I’m surprised that I am this pricked. Not exactly sure why I continue. Any case, that’s my reply. Good day, sir!

(as usual) I made the mistake of looking at their posting history
three internet cookies if you know what’s behind door number one
go sealion on someone else’s doorstep
Attempting to engage in a sincere and civil discussion isn’t sealioning.
Fun fact: The Sea Lion is officially 10 years old!

“Very well, we shall resume in an hour” will never not crack me up
I will never forget the dude who argued online that the sealion is the real victim here (a victim of the “disgruntled female”)

Very well. We shall resume in an hour.

we’ve been on the internet long enough to know how a debate shitlord says “go fuck yourself” and you came in fucking swinging
who in the fuck introduces themselves to strangers like this? of course people are hostile
anyway you failed to prove you’re not a debate shitlord so
ban reason: debate shitlord
bye
