Curation
– I think the notion is so generally understand that it's hardly understood at all. In order to /what/? "Categorize". *d'uhh* Why?

MasterChef

- Most everybody knows toil. Drudgery. But "heavy lifting"? Lord knows it's sometimes /combined/ with toil but … you know, 2hrs staring …

I always knew I'd die a failure. Cuz my last success, however recent, would be at least a little bit behind me. ;-)

– Nice thing about being greedy and grasping is having enough money to shove consequences over onto other people and then duck.

Security Revisited – Excesses can be used to rationalize whatever agenda but bottom line: if you demonstrate, you will be abused.
#
- Buddy on radio describing being beaten up by cops in Toronto after having been "kettled". (Go ahead, say it: he deserved it, right?)

– A nice way to distract attention from the fact that individual policemen lost their minds and ran amuck against peaceful folk.

Tks for "Inside Job" piece; great stuff. But hey, left sidebar offers "WonkBook" but that is nowhere explicated/described. cheers
#
- Toronto police spokesman on radio: whatever the cops did was justified by whatever happened before. Period. Garden variety fascism.
#
- "We take our job seriously and we act very professionally" … which explains the abuses?! This 25yr vet is an ace yuppie. Sophistry.
#
- Box people in, corner them, then move forward banging shield "to get people to move away". Cops should be ashamed of their bullshit.
#
- Head of the Toronto Police Association and all he can do is bullshit. /Hundreds/ of people held in cells, handcuffed, for as much as 24hrs.
#
- How cops justify the contempt so many of us feel: over-react, act like nazis, then bullshit. Pathetic. Worse: pathological.

Greets – A little nugget you might want to incorporate to final section of "How Facts Backfire": we're "cognitive misers".

p.s.notion is it's adaptive to apply heuristics in order to reduce cognitive load; usually get it right? *shrug* good enough! :)
