Crowds, obedience and the psychology of group behavior, with Stephen Reicher, PhD

This is an excellent interview on a fascinating and important topic. It includes discussion of the famous Milgram Experiment of 1963, COVID, the positive sides of group solidarity, and even the recent coronation in England.

I wish #newsnight would move the narrative on from just asking political leaders from Israel & Palestine to restate their entrenched positions.

Let’s hear from diplomats and #peace experts about what the two sides can agree on, and what a peace deal could look like. Otherwise we’ll just have more decades of leaders from each side justifying attacks on the other whilst their people live in fear.

How far have we fallen since David Cameron called UKIP the party of fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists? Not so closet now.

@Fife4Europe
Au contraire, I beg to differ. As an expat living in Denmark, brexit means that I hold back from buying online from UK. Everything is 2-3 times as expensive when we pay extra for customs handling, duty and vat. And in future my Danish compatriots will have extra visa requirements. So brexit does have an impact on Europeans.

#ClimateDiary 31st July 2023 Day after day of storm, wind, rain here, never ending #HeatWave #Floods and #Wildfires elsewhere; new research showing #AMOC #Gulfstream may be much closer to collapse than previously thought. Not a peep from political leaders about any of this. On the contrary: #FossilFuel funded Rishi #Sunak, having praised cars yesterday, today gives go-ahead for 100s of new oil and gas projects. #GTTO it’s a matter of survival 1/3

@mazzeri well done! I agree, you are being conservative in your estimate. With multiple tipping points of major oceanic-atmospheric systems already crossed by now e.g. #GIS, #WAIS, #Amazon, #AMOC, #CoralReefs, it is clear that "the sky's the limit" in terms of impending climate destruction an human-caused destruction of our planet. Which says nothing about #habitat and #biodiversity loss. Or #ocean #acidification. Or, or, or ... The best guess is that the #AMOC will have completely broken down ca. 2050, quite possibly sooner. We are already in uncharted territory now, so to talk about future uncharted territory ... it beggars belief, especially as so much of this destruction has already been programmed by humans into #Earth systems #EarthSystems ... thoroughly enervating.

"I really wish that journalists and editors took this as seriously as scientists do, and reported it loudly and accurately, taking the time to get the facts right,” Foley wrote. “The planet is in trouble, and we need to have the best possible information.”

Thank you, @FAIR, for all you do to help me get the best possible information!

Der tägliche Klimazustand. Kennt ihr schon, brauch ich nicht mehr erklären. Luft zu warm, Wasser auch zu warm.

Soweit ich das höre, sind in der Forscherszene viele sehr überrascht, wie schnell die Erwärmung gerade geht und wie drastisch die Folgen sind bei einem Erwärmungsniveau, bei dem noch nicht viel erwartet worden war.

Da geht de riesige Sorge um, dass die Klimamodelle die Folgen unterschätzen und dass es übler wird als wir erwarten.

If you’re on strike and it’s disrupted things for “regular people” just know that there are a lot of us rooting for you— We get it. Media aren’t being very supportive framing the strike as all the fault of workers— as if we all have to take whatever we are offered & be silent.

The mood is different in the country than it was 15 or 30 years ago— No one is buying that striking workers are greedy. We’re all in this same race to the bottom and it’s good to see people fighting the current.
