Comment on The Joy of Citation by Rich Sands

There’s often humor in business writing. When I wrote lawyer letters, and I was ordering the party opponent to do something he really didn’t want to do, like turn over discovery they were hiding, I loved signing, “Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.” So passive aggressive!

I will keep it in mind that notes like that will actually provide a good bit of humor for people!

And a Ph.D., while neat to have, does not play well with all fields. If you want to teach at the college level you need it for almost any field, but for working only a few fields really require it. Luckily, psychology is one of those fields where having the extra letters tacked on to your name really does open up a lot more options.

Also, thank you for the citation resource, it will certainly be useful.

I actually got the same recommendation from another friend the other day. And in line with such I am currently trying out the EndNote X3 demo version, it does seem like quite the tool!

Wow, Ph.D. eh? I don’t know if I would ever decide to go that far with my education. I don’t see how it would help me actually. I think it would be funny if someone used APA formatting when writing a letter to a teacher about a child’s absence. In fact, when I am a full time teacher (I’m a substitute right now) I hope that some people will write humorous notes to me. It would make the morning that much more enjoyable.

As for citations, I don’t think you really have to go through all that training. I just go to a website (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/), it tells me everything I need to know. Of course, doing it my way you will have to go back to the website every time you go to cite something…

Know what makes citations way better? Endnote. Get it and it’ll do the work for you. Screw remembering the proper style. You can set it to your style.

Comment on The Wholeness Question by Chris Schaffer

Thank you!
I can see how your mind would think this was on a different topic. Following the link to the post I am replying to will also explain the topic some.

As for wishful thinking vs. confirmation bias. I would go with wishful thinking. Something about confirmation bias doesn’t quite ring right, but I also have a limited understanding of it.

Now to explain your thoughts and the synchronicity of this post. You are currently watch people flounder about helplessly in your courses. Their being whole beings would probably help that. Yoga is one way to that, though it is also a great way to deal with the stress associated with dealing with them. Thus your thoughts. Everything else is just coincidence.

Comment on The Wholeness Question by Lucifer

Wow–this was a very good post! Being an ontologist, I was, of course, thinking that this was going somewhere else entirely. Wholeness, I had thought, would lead to how we separate things into discrete objects . . . my relational ontology stuff. Now, I wonder if that would be classified as wishful thinking or confirmation bias gone awry? I haven’t even thought about relational ontology in a while, but HAVE thought about yoga and human holism recently. Explain that, Mr. Psych-guy!
