Power you don't use, you lose...

Harnessing #fans and #develop *your* community as a priority online else you lose touch.

Should be your kind of "product" without exploiting but using their talent & consented energy and examples sent by them...

...because just improving #Tech doesn't work for #DEVELOPING PEOPLE in the #human sense...

Use people / #help them #participate / #cooperate / #crowdsource etc

We had a lot of this #GOOD but limited #forum stuff before - it's people that hold space!

If every website owner handed free space to an antiAI app, it could post meaningful and earnest tosh that would be incredibly hard to detect at scale. But when the website needs the space it could move off — as an ethereal tendency.

Bullshit a bullshitter.

Er zijn inmiddels 14 bijlagen verschenen bij deze brief, Dit is een boel informatie, misschien kunnen we dit #crowdsource-en? Zit er nog iets spectaculairs bij waarom de btw naar Amerika sturen een extra dom idee is? https://berthub.eu/tkconv/document.html?nummer=2026D12169

Here is the repo for the first book we plan to launch as part of the Open Handbook Commons. Right now, it just has an outline. People are invited to comment or contribute.

A rough website is ready. I could use some help with the #UI and #logo. I am using #Quarto #SSG and hosting the website on #GitHub pages.

Request from academic psychology people & those adjacent: General principles for academic psychology?

I'm developing a list of "general principles" for my Intro Psych course. I'm thinking of giving the list of general principles to the students so they can select one and write an assignment with it.

These are intended to be statements that are generally true across multiple domains and describe patterns in what #cognitiveScience / #psychology has discovered over the past century and a half.

(Note: At this time I'm not looking for principles of counseling or therapy, though I'm definitely open to principles that apply across counseling/clinical and other domains, if they are research-based)

If you have #suggestions, please chime in! And if you have suggested tweaks or deletions from my current list, I hope you'll share (I mean, don't be personally insulting about it; otherwise, I welcome the feedback).

Here's my list so far, in no particular order, is in this document. If you have suggestions, make them here or there (it should be editable by anyone with the link)
