Seems close. I don’t see why it couldn’t be just one person randomly selected.

I don’t lurk there but my wife spends lots of time at BB. Almost everyone at bb.com think 4HB is a joke. I also agree with the playing with things but there needs to be boundaries and imho 4HB falls outside of what i would consider scientifically reasonable.
I must say that given that i choose to have my last name be aletheia i so prefer the aletheia based ones :)
Yea make me even more jealous i wasn’t chosen to go :P
I am someone who generally throws a pair of whatever seems will be appropriate for the weather (pants or shorts) and a random t-shirt on. I am not even sure if i match most of the time. I have a beard which is quite uncommon for men in our society(which to me is mildly sad)

I am pretty sure it is clearly a recommendation.
I’ve been looking for a book that had to do with moral psychology. I read Moral Minds a while ago but much of that is now suspect in my mind because of the controversy surrounding the author. I’ll have to add it to much collection at some point.
This is one of the posts that i wish everyone in the skeptical community would read.
you are a lucky bastard then. I might even have my eyes closed with my headphones on and people will talk to me.
Pfft i listen to something on my ipod quite a lot and people still seem to try to talk to me.
Actually i have two of the books he heavily relied on. The procrastination equation and psychology of modern day life. The problem i also have a huge problem with motivational issues
having read all your posts and given how negative they come off the amount of jealous i feel is clearly unhealthy. It must be absolutely awesome to be there.
I would be interested too. I have had huge problems not only with habits but routines in general. I have a bs in psych and understand operant and classical conditioning very well (along with the post by tim i would add this to your reading). None of this information has helped me in the following areas exercise eating healthy procrastination many many other things
Not only that but because of the specificity i will probably be far more jealous. The lucky bastards.
actually what you described as desensiztion therapy seems more like exposure therapy to me. this seems to be a good explanation of systematic desensitization. This works even in the relatively uncontrolled setting of being by yourself.
I wanted to become a prof but have been talked out of it. (i have a bs in psych)
Don’t go for a Psy. D if i was you. They take an approach of whats called “scholar-practitioner” which means that just have to know how to look at the available literature whereas a Ph.D you actually have to do science in order to get it the phd version is scientist practitioner.
man if you can’t get in i am hopeless i have a 2.83 undergrad and probably won’t do nearly as well on my gre
I am pretty into the skeptic community and i do wish more people had heard of less wrong. I think it would be a great idea to try to make an outreach effort to those groups. For instance the skeptics usually want to improve their rationality (the other groups you list might). I know the biggest skeptic podcast talks about things related to rationality quite often. Although I am pretty disappointed at the lack of knowledge of bias, heuristics and things like bayes theorem amongst the people who i have talked to in the skeptics community
No these are bus drivers and random people on the bus.
