Addendum the #PhenomnStudentLoanDebt comments seems to point to #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmationIToldYouSo styled claim i.e. something about the stupidity of doing a degree, which doesn't serve a purely #TheoryInstrumentalism purpose (something like #LiteralFieldGenderStudies etc). The #IdentityLGBTQIATransgenderYouth / #PhenomnGenderReassignment related comment points to an overly simplistic i.e. #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations worldview. And the fact that the image is #1947_PyrexBirthdayCakeAdTheSaturdayEveningPost / #BrandPyrex https://retrorenovation.com/2015/04/20/pyrex-100th-anniversary-thank-you-bessie-littleton/ Specifically: ^[jpg] depicting a #IdentityWhite 'mother and daughter' points to #PleaNostalgia i.e. #TheoryPoliticsOfEternity.

Addendum presumably the combination of images here is meant to be a warning in the way that it (presumably) seeks to evoke the nursery rhyme i.e. "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall."

Addendum the podcast commentary appears to be a clear case of #CharacterisationDerivativeWorkRegurgitatedNewsChurnalism, where this version of the story (which include verbatim, including the same red, hyperlinked 'elder abuse' characterisation) appears to have originated from #BrandTechSocialMediaAltBlazeMediaCortneyWeil. The piece functions as a #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmationIToldYouSo, where ex-Fox News contributor #NMUSFOXFNCCathyAreuAKALiberalSherpa, who was employed to provide a supposed "contrarian opinion about various issues" for #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson audiences, has been arrested.

Addendum the #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmationIToldYouSo #BehaviourSmugness tenor of this tweet strongly suggests a #OtheringCaricatureBrexitBrexiteer perspective. Put bluntly, who benefits from wishing ill of the EU? Such characterisation also evokes a metaphorical othering exemplified by the #PhenomnBrexit #CatchcryLoveEuropeButNotEU, where #ToponymEuropeUKEngland_ was (erroneously) understood to be separate from #ToponymEurope, creating a distinction (evoking #MetaphorSpatialTerritory_ symbolism) where #ToponymEuropeUKBritishIsles and #ToponymEuropeContinental are framed as being wholly distinct (and so incurring no impediment through their divorce). This reminds me of #IRLScholarGeorgeLakoff's #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT analysis as per: "Consider Brexit, which used the metaphor of 'entering' and 'leaving' the EU. There is a universal metaphor that states are locations in space: you can enter a state, be deep in some state, and come out that state. If you enter a café and then leave the café, you will be in the same location as before you entered. But that need not be true of states of being. But that was the metaphor used with Brexit; Britons believed that after leaving the EU, things would be as before when the entered the EU. They were wrong. Things changed radically while they were in the EU" (23 July 2016). http://george-lakoff.com/2016/07/23/understanding-trump-2/ #PoliticsNationalismRomantic

"Every day when reading the timeline, I realize how right Vince Ebert is with his assessment. Supposedly intelligent people live in their comfortable moral acidic world and think they are with the good woke - no media literacy" #IRLComedianVinceEbert

"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel discovered that humans use a large part of their intellectual capacity to find their way in their complicated social world. Why is my boss looking so weird today? What does my neighbor's innuendo mean about my new car? Is the waitress flirting with me or is she just being friendly? Our 'social' brain also checks facts from time to time. However, the question that is much more important to it is: what are the social consequences if I do or say this or that? So we have a mechanism in our heads that, when in doubt, even tells us prevents us from thinking what is right when in return it endangers our social status. This phenomenon becomes more prevalent the higher a person's social and economic status. Educated and/or wealthy people are more concerned about what others might think of their opinions. Because they have an academic reputation or a good professional position to lose. What's more, the more educated and smarter a person is, the more adept his brain is at selling him the biggest piece of nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it raises his social status. As a result, the upper educated middle class tends more to hang behind any intellectual crazy ideas than ordinary people. The American data scientist David Shor found in extensive studies that educated people hold more ideologically coherent and more extreme views than working-class people. Taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers often have much more connection to reality and common sense than professors, teachers and higher officials. The ideological follower sits less at the regulars' table and more in the lecture hall." #IRLPsychologistWilliamVonHippel #TheorySocialWorlds ^[Folksonomy] #IRLScientistDavidShor #IdentityClassBlueCollar

Addendum Ebert's explanation above is presumably comforting for those who aren't (according to his characterisation) 'educated and/or wealthy' or who have 'high social and economic status' - people, who as he characterises, are: 'taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers' i.e. that such explanations are used by those who have no hope of achieving success (financial and/or social) to bolster their confidence. And in doing so, presumably such a reaction is part of a broader strategy to dismiss criticism in an effort to reconcile a sense of personal failure becoming become manifest through retorts such as #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmationIToldYouSo. In this sense, the phenomenon seems to function as a type of #PhenomnCautionaryTale or perhaps, a version of #TheoryPsychologyPsychologicalPurgationCatharsisHamartia ^[Wikipedia] where the threat of succumbing to "intellectual crazy ideas" provides a desired relief. #TheoryPsychologyInferiorityComplex #TheoryPsychologyDefenceMechanism ^[Wikipedia] #BehaviourInjuryFeelingRessentiment_ ^[Wikipedia] #TheoryAffectiveResponseIndignation ^[Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyPostHocErgoPropterHocPostHocRationalisation ^[Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyOversimplificationCausalReductionism ^[Wikipedia] #_Focal

Addendum the #MetaphorVersusSideBySideDiptych seems to make more sense when considered in terms of #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz's #TheoryRegimensOfCulturalisation1 i.e. #TheoryHyperculture + #TheoryCommunitarianismCultural and his #TheoryRegimensOfCulturalisation2 i.e. #TheoryCulturalEssentialism. From this perspective, processes of #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation and #TheoryHypercultureHybridity implicit in #TheoryGlobalisationCosmopolitanism (emblematic of the meme's 'Phillipe BA in Philosophy' characterisation), represent a challenge #TheorySociologySocialInertia and threat to collective #NarrativeStableMorality (emblematic of the meme's 'Robert the electrician apprentice' characterisation). #OtheringLegitimacyRealAmericans ?

Addendum This meme reminds me of #IRLScholarBasilBernstein's explanation of the significance of education for understanding the world. And in doing so, makes inferences about the worldview of the person publishing the meme i.e. "When children fail at school, dropout, repeat, they are likely to be positioned in a factual world tied to simple operations, where knowledge is impermeable. The successful have access to the general principle, and some of these - a small number - those who are going to produce the discourse, will become aware that the mystery of discourse is not order, but disorder, incoherence, the possibility of the unthinkable. But the long socialization into the pedagogic code can remove the danger of the unthinkable, and of alternative realities" (Basil Bernstein, 1993, p.122). Bernstein, B. (1993).
