@ArthurCDent In the article, I lay out 6 common #manipulation tactics and why they work to sabotage discourse on scientific topics.
First up is "just asking questions" or "#sealioning", which uses social expectations and #framing effects to distort conversations.

After years of my daughter receiving care at our local #hospital that is often based on #bias & is often subpar I have begun to reach out to different state agencies. The experiences that my daughter has had to experience over the last several years has been surreal 1/
I’ve attempted many times to engage with #patientservices w various staff in attempts to implement a plan which is based on her needs, recognizes the #medicaltrauma she has experienced & how it impacts her. I’ve attempted to explain how her diabetes works (to the extent I even 2
understand. Type 3 is brittle, it can shoot up or down for numerous reasons. I’ve tried to explain her complications based on her #AITTP but instead assumptions have been made and that what care has been based on. In reviewing her chart it’s truly horrifying their utter lack 3

I never know when she has a medical crisis and needs the hospital IF she will need to interact w a personnel or professional whose #biases interfere with care. These incidences can be shaming, demeaning or they can put her life at risk. My daughter has had hypoglycemic crises 2/
at @SanfordHealth where the nurses refused to check her #bloodsugars because ‘it is anxiety’ or ‘she just ate’. Even when I intervened over phone & pleaded, nurses refused to point I had to reach out to #housesupervisor. While I’ve reached out multiple times to @SanfordHealth 3/

I am angry tweeting and usually that is never good but I am angry. My heart is breaking for another mother who lost their child to pain. She had her entire life in front of her. Her entire life! For many years she struggled with #pancreatitis. She was 1/

not in an area where there were many #physicians aware of #pancreatitis. I provided the mother names of experts in the field but sadly they never followed up or called. I have often seen this. As a parent I would carry around my husband & kids genetic 🧬 results 2/
in order to ensue that physicians would listen to me. I’d provide them with the names or our specialists. A few times physicians listened many times they did not. So often my husband was questioned about his alcohol use relentlessly EVEN with the test results. It was a 3/

Was reading upon #Biases & learnt a lot. Thought of sharing a few pointers .
Simply put Bias is a disproportionate weight in favour of or against any idea/thing in all aspects of life.
Few types of Biases ( out of the many) with not so random images. :)

The #DunningKruger effect now is fairly well known , wherein people with limited knowledge overestimate their competence, whilst the actually knowledgeable question themselves often .
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge".

*#SelfServingBias*
A very interesting bias wherein we credit our successes to purely ourselves, but when things go awry we cite luck & external forces .
Rings any bells?
Basically a defence mechanism to protect our self esteem & eventually from personal responsibility.

Over the years, I've had friends criticize the endless @Forbes 30 Under 30 lists. I've heard stories that undermine the 'credibility' of these lists, shining glaring holes into what seems to be purely a hype machine aka the 'Forbes Hustle'. Today,I had my own experience: (1/13)
My story involves the #impactinvesting ecosystem in #Africa, and a white expat founder...which many have commented are catalysts for the Forbes Hustle. I discovered this social enterprise doing some desk research and reached out via email, this is what happened next (2/13)

“Data is the new oil”, I have heard it & I don’t think it’s the right comparison.
What oil economy has done to earth, humanity? In short term it accelerated us at great cost.

#Pollution, #GlobalWarming, economic disparity are the legacy of oil economy. We realised it after long time.

#Biases, #fairness, #security, and #privacy are some of the issues already started showing up. Weaponisation of #AI is also happening at rapid rate and resulting in to rapid destruction of fundamentals of #humanity and #society.
