So, is "When Prophesy Fails"—the foundation of cognitive dissonance theory—debunked? Unclear. The article making this claim is... odd. It describes Festinger and Schachter as leftwing radicals, critiques the political slant of their funding, generally refers to their work as failed... 1/n

A huge part of the Republican playbook is to break otherwise beneficial social services and then point to their brokenness as evidence that those things are bad actually so they can justify privatizing or abolishing it. They are very good at doing this because they do it across all sectors.

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

Stephen Colbert is a national treasure! My career peak was when he devoted a whole segment to our paper on scarcity & race perception on The Colbert Report (!) And of course he nailed it. Sadly it's not on youtube anymore, but it's on AppleTV (Season 10, Episode 119, on June 16, 2014).
