“Until recently we’ve only been able to speculate about story's persuasive effects. But over the last several decades psychology has begun a serious study of how story affects the human mind. Results repeatedly show that our attitudes, fears, hopes, and values are strongly influenced by story. In fact, fiction seems to be more effective at changing beliefs than writing that is specifically designed to persuade through argument and evidence.” WritingMindHumansFactsStoriesShowsSeemsAbleLastsValuesBeliefResultsAttitudeFictionStudyPsychologyEffectsSeriousEvidenceArgumentDecadesHuman MindPersuasive Author:Jonathan Gottschall

“Some young people do not sufficiently understand the advantages of natural charms, and how much they would gain by trusting to them entirely. They weaken these gifts of heaven, so rare and fragile, by affected manners and an awkward imitation. Their tones and their gait are borrowed; they study their attitudes before the glass until they have lost all trace of natural manner, and, with all their pains, they please but little.” PeopleLittlesPainYoungLostHeavenNaturalAttitudeStudyPleaseGainsAdvantageGlassesMannersToneCharmAffectedFragileAwkwardImitationBorrowedGait Author:Jean de la Bruyere

“If this "critical openminded attitude" ... is wanted, the question at once arises, Is it science that should be studied in order to achieve it? Why not study law? A judge has to do everything that a scientist is exhorted to do in the way of withholding judgment until all the facts are in, and then judging impartially on the merits of the case as well as he can. ... Why not a course in Sherlock Holmes? The detectives, or at least the detective-story writers, join with the scientists in excoriating "dogmatic prejudice, lying, falsification of facts, and data, and willful fallacious reasoning."” IfsWayShouldWellsFactsStoriesWantedLawScienceLyingOrderCoursesAttitudeCasesStudyAchieveJudgingJudgmentScientistPrejudiceCriticalAriseDataMeritReasoningWhy NotDetectivesHolmesDogmaticWithholdingDetective StoriesStory WritersFalsification Author:Anthony Standen
“Worker-owned co-ops, on their own, floating in the market, tend to replicate the behavior of worker-owned capitalists in some circumstances. They sometimes develop positive participatory schemes, sometimes not. We know from the studies of worker-owned plywood companies in the US, they can tend to develop conservative attitudes, not socialist attitudes. So even though I'm an advocate of further democratization of the workplace, we also need to be building larger structures.” KnowsNeedsSometimesAttitudeCompanyStudyBuildingCircumstancesBehaviorStructureWorkersConservativeCapitalistSchemesSocialistWorkplaceFloatingReplicateDemocratization Author:Gar Alperovitz
