Nassim Haramein - Rationalwiki Nassim Haramein - RationalWiki http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nassim_Haramein Nassim Haramein From RationalWiki Nassim Haramein is a physics crank, one of the many who claim to have uncovered the holy grail of physics, the "Unified Field Theory". Despite his claims, he's virtually unknown to mainstream physics, and the only people who take him seriously are the kind of people who listen to Coast to Coast AM [1] . For a taste of his claims, assorted clips from his talks can be found on YouTube. Many of his papers can be downloaded from his website. He is the founder of The Resonance Project , a website and foundation concerned with his Unified Physics, and the "Hawaii Institute for Unified Physics". Despite this, his article keeps getting deleted from Wikipedia on notability grounds. [2] Contents 1 Thrive 2 The Black Whole 3 The Schwarzschild proton 4 See also 5 External links 6 Footnotes Thrive Haramein was featured prominently in the conspiracy theory movie Thrive , where he discusses the fundamental shape of the fabric of space, as well as potential extraterrestrial involvement with Earth throughout history. The Black Whole He is featured in the self-directed Gaiam film The Black Whole, a 2011 documentary-type movie starring Haramein and his "vacuum is the key to everything" claims. In the movie, he addresses the little he understands of quantum mechanics, the phi ratio, tetrahedrons, symmetries in the structure of the vacuum, and, of course, black holes, which, according to Haramein, are everywhere and everything; we are constantly appearing and disappearing at the speed of light, so, half of the time, we are vacuum, made of "blocks" of 64 tetrahedrons, arranged in such a way that a mini-black hole is created right at the centre of each "block", thus proving that we all have four sides.[citation needed ] The Schwarzschild proton Haramein proposed "the Schwarzschild proton" - a theoretical model of the proton where two black holes "orbit" one another. It may sound impressive, but it's almost entirely inconsistent with experimental observation. 1 of 3 5/16/2014 5:42 PM Nassim Haramein - RationalWiki http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nassim_Haramein Anyone with even a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics knows that classical "orbits" do not apply at the scales mentioned in his paper. The paper was subsequently hidden from public view after being debunked as pseudoscience by internet blogs equally as reputable as Haramein, and is now available for download from his website. Now that his Schwarzschild Proton paper has been debunked, he claims on his website t o have published a new paper, "Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass" in the Physical Review and Research International Journal, at ScienceDomain International. This is in fact not a scientific journal at all, but an "open peer reviewed (http://www.sciencedomain.org/page.php?id=sdi-general-editorial-policy#SDI_Peer_review_mechanism) " website where anyone can pay a fee and have their "research" "peer-reviewed" and then "published" onto the website.

    Unified Conspiracy Theory - RationalWiki http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Unified_Conspiracy_Theory Unified Conspiracy Theory From RationalWiki The Unified Conspiracy Theory is a conspiracy theory, popular with Some dare call it some paranoids, that all of reality is controlled by a single evil entity that has it in for them. It can be a political entity, like "The Illuminati", or a Conspiracy metaphysical entity, like Satan, but this entity is responsible for the creation and management of everything bad.

  • Nerd/Geek Masculinity: Technocracy, Rationality
    NERD/GEEK MASCULINITY: TECHNOCRACY, RATIONALITY, AND GENDER IN NERD CULTURE’S COUNTERMASCULINE HEGEMONY A Dissertation by ELEANOR AMARANTH LOCKHART Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kristan Poirot Committee Members, Tasha Dubriwny Jennifer Mercieca Claire Katz Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge August 2015 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2015 Eleanor Amaranth Lockhart ABSTRACT Nerd and geek culture have become subjects of increasing public concern in recent years, with growing visibility and power for technical professions and increasing relevance of video games, science fiction, and fantasy in popular culture. As a subculture, nerd/geek culture tends to be described in terms of the experiences of men and boys who are unpopular because of their niche interests or lack of social skills. This dissertation proposes the concept of nerd/geek masculinity to understand discourses of hegemonic masculinity in nerd/geek culture. Examining three case studies, the novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, the neoreactionary political ideology, and the #GamerGate controversy, the dissertation suggests that nerd/geek masculinity responds to a perceived emasculation of men who identify as nerds or geeks by constructing the interests, skills, and behaviors of nerd/geek culture as inherently male traits. In this way, nerd/geek masculinity turns the very traits nerds and geeks are often mocked for into evidence of manhood – as the cost of excluding women and queer people from nerd and geek culture. ii DEDICATION To my friends and family who have supported me through this process of scholarship and survival, especially Aeva Palecek and Emily O’Leary… you are my dearest friends.

Foreword The Workshop on ‘Linked Democracy: Artificial Intelligence for Democratic Innovation’ is one of the official workshops of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2017) held in Melbourne (19-26 August 2017). The goal of this workshop is to provide a multidisciplinary forum to address questions such as: How to model the interactions between people, data, and digital tools that create new spaces and forms of civic action in the digital era? How to analyse emerging properties and types of knowledge in these contexts? How to design socio-technical systems that effectively leverage data and knowledge for deliberation (or other types of participation) and collective decision making? Can we design the meta-rules of the emergent ecosystems? The Workshop brings together participants from universities and research centers in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Brazil, Israel, UK, and the USA.

It resembled the contemporary doctrine of fascism in many particulars, such as its authoritarianism and ethnic nationalism, although it had a much stronger emphasis on race. It destroyed terrorized ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945, during a period known as the "Third Reich." In case you were wondering, the first Reich was the Holy Roman Empire and the second Reich was the German Empire. Despite being in office longer than Hitler, the Weimar Republic doesn't count.

Today, continuing this usage, many people use the terms Savitri Devi Vidkun Quisling Nazi and fascist interchangeably.

    Alt-right - RationalWiki https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Alt-right Alt-right From RationalWiki Well, tough luck, fags. The alt-right is just a euphemism for “ Nazism. And Nazism is based on the eternal laws of nature itself. It’s incorruptible. —The Daily Stormer”[1] Here's how to understand the alt-right: Think about what's right, “ then think about the alternative to that. —Stephen Colbert”[2] The alt-right (short for alternative right )[note 1] is a far-right movement believed to be caused by Obama Derangement Syndrome that opposes There are two, and only multiculturalism and social justice movements (or what they call "Cultural two, scientific definitions of Marxists" and "SJWs"). The movement is made up largely of young Internet- "alt-right". dwellers, and is itself the merger of traditional white nationalists, neo- Nazis , neo-Confederates, and far-right internet groups (such as the Frogs and swastikas neoreactionary movement and right-wing elements of the Gamergate Alt-right movement and the Manosphere). The alt-right consensus generally rests at the juncture of those three groups. The alt-right is also united by its support for U.S. Republican President Donald Trump. The term originated with Richard Spencer's white nationalist magazine/blog Alternative Right , which was nicknamed "AltRight". The alt-right wholeheartedly embraces the overt racism, anti-Semitism, Hitler wannabes misogyny, neo-Nazi affectations, bullying, and trolling of chan culture as a Hoppe and Evola lifestyle.

  • The Perils of Classifying Political Orientation from Text
    The Perils of Classifying Political Orientation From Text Hao Yan, Allen Lavoie?, and Sanmay Das Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, USA {haoyan,allenlavoie,sanmay}@wustl.edu Abstract. Political communication often takes complex linguistic forms. Un- derstanding political ideology from text is an important methodological task in studying political interactions between people in both new and traditional media. Therefore, there has been a spate of recent research that either relies on, or pro- poses new methodology for, the classification of political ideology from text data. In this paper, we study the effectiveness of these techniques for classifying ideol- ogy in the context of US politics. We construct three different datasets of conser- vative and liberal English texts from (1) the congressional record, (2) prominent conservative and liberal media websites, and (3) conservative and liberal wikis, and apply text classification algorithms with a domain adaptation technique. Our results are surprisingly negative. We find that the cross-domain learning perfor- mance, benchmarking the ability to generalize from one of these datasets to an- other, is poor, even though the algorithms perform very well in within-dataset cross-validation tests. We provide evidence that the poor performance is due to differences in the concepts that generate the true labels across datasets, rather than to a failure of domain adaptation methods. Our results suggest the need for extreme caution in interpreting the results of machine learning methodologies for classification of political text across domains. The one exception to our strongly negative results is that the classification methods show some ability to generalize from the congressional record to media websites.

    The Congressional Classification Challenge : Domain Specificity and Partisan Intensity Hao Yan, Sanmay Das, Allen Lavoie, Sirui Li and Betsy Sinclair June 2019 EC’19 Session 1b: Machine Learning and Applications The Congressional Classification Challenge: Domain Specificity and Partisan Intensity HAO YAN∗, Washington University in St. Louis SANMAY DAS, Washington University in St. Louis ALLEN LAVOIE†, Washington University in St. Louis SIRUI LI, Washington University in St. Louis BETSY SINCLAIR, Washington University in St. Louis In this paper, we study the eectiveness and generalizability of techniques for classifying partisanship and ideology from text in the context of US politics. In particular, we are interested in how well measures of partisanship transfer across domains as well as the potential to rely upon measures of partisan intensity as a proxy for political ideology. We construct novel datasets of English texts from (1) the Congressional Record, (2) prominent conservative and liberal media websites, and (3) conservative and liberal wikis, and apply text classication algorithms to evaluate domain specicity via a domain adaptation technique. Surprisingly, we nd that the cross-domain learning performance, benchmarking the ability to generalize from one of these datasets to another, is in general poor, even though the algorithms perform very well in within-dataset cross-validation tests. While party aliation of legislators is not predictable based on models learned from other sources, we do nd some ability to predict the leanings of the media and crowdsourced websites based on models learned from the Congressional Record. This predictivity is dierent across topics, and itself a priori predictable based on within-topic cross-validation results.

    Making Evolutionists and Creationists: The Causes and Consequences of Evolution Education in Tennessee, 2009-2012 By Michael Robert Kohut Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Anthropology August. 2016 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Norbert O. Ross, Ph.D. Tiffiny A. Tung, Ph.D. Edward F. Fischer, Ph.D. Rogers P. Hall, Ph.D. To my wonderful spouse Lauren, who believed in me when I had given up and To my son Darwin, who doesn’t know a life in which his dad isn’t working on his dissertation ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without research grants from the National Science Foundation and a writing grant and mentorship from the Spencer Foundation. Crucial support came also from the Department of Anthropology at Vanderbilt University during the final year of writing, which enabled me to complete the task. In particular, I want to acknowledge the efforts of Tiffiny Tung in securing for me a fellowship that enabled me to move back to Nashville and focus on writing my dissertation. I am grateful to everyone who have contributed their time to help carry out this research, including the many fellow graduate students who helped me to complete interviews with students: Jeffrey Shenton, Werner Hertzog, Monte Talley, Danielle Kurin, Jonathan Attridge, Beck Conway, Lauren Stavish, John Saba and Kathryn DeTore. Furthermore, the willingness of people throughout Tennessee to talk to me was, of course, absolutely essential to its completion. I thank the participating school districts, the office staff and teachers who spent extra time on busy school days to make sure that the interviews could be done.
