"The analysis of collected data suggests that #faculty members used Wikipedia for multiple purposes ranging from #teaching and #research to leisure reading. They regarded #Wikipedia as a useful and credible source of information while having a positive belief in the Wikipedia project. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that faculty #perceptions have grown more favorable regarding Wikipedia use, usefulness, and quality of information."

"#Profit is a #shit #incentive to get #people to #work. People are not naturally obsessed with #money. For money to work as an incentive, an artificial culture has to be constructed that warps natural #human emotions and #perceptions. Humans are naturally motivated by compassion, care and a desire for meaning. #Capitalism is opposed to human #nature."

Read the tea leaf and rinse the future,
Write the inevitable,
Innovate the written,
Personify justice embodying peace,
Or personify peace but embody the riot,
Be the spray paint that lines walls,
Be the blood that gathers under the nail,
Read the tea leaf and rinse the future,
E pluribus nullus,
Let them see what you are,
You are not the sum of what you appear to be.

I’ll have to think about that - some events, such as WW2 and the holocaust, lynchings in the USA and white suoremacism globally are not flaws in memory. #Morality #Memory #Perceptions

What do search engines want to show you?
#BigTech is using #manipulated results to warp our #perceptions. Think it's hard to prove? A quick image search of common everyday terms should show expected results. When they don't, it is #evidence that the hidden hand is up to no good.

Really interesting thread on the #accordion forum I’m on about #synesthesia, which prompted me to put in words and describe something I have never explained before about me and #music. Which I think may be a form of kinesthetic synesthesia. https://www.accordionists.info/threads/do-you-see-colors-synesthesia.10466/ #Squeezebox #perceptions

Plaque / Cornerstone – Building 810, Denver Federal Centre (DFC)

This is the plaque/cornerstone on the side of building 810 (when I am not #WFH)…
On my walks when I pass it, I think about the time that this stone was placed, JFK was murdered later that year - and I wonder what it would have been like then AND wonder what they would have thought of the USA on 2023... positive, negative & just plain different, in ‘both directions’…

Good reminders here. “The Rural Vision for Climate Innovation project set out to learn about #rural #attitudes and #perceptions of #climate innovation through 30 stakeholder interviews with ‘grasstop’ leaders and regional focus groups. We wanted to understand how rural #Americans view climate #investments and invite them to tell us how they want these #solutions in their communities.” https://blogs.edf.org/climate411/2023/04/03/3-ways-to-include-rural-communities-in-emerging-climate-solutions/

Very interesting to see that our own #perceptions as #physiotherapists in practice are that we need to move to more #holistic #healthcare and that this is the future! I strongly echo this sentiment and feel we should do more in our #roles to accomplish this. #FirstContactPractitioner roles are a great gateway into this and the importance of #ARRS#AARS roles, #SocialPrescribing and #EveryContactCounts can't be underestimated!

I created a Facebook group called #HackTheHudson. The intent was to provide a forum for open water swimming enthusiasts for #NYC. While the focus was primarily on the #HudsonRiver I've swim in the #EastRiver and wanted to hear more about others doing same. The group was to be about sharing information and changing #perceptions. The group has grown but there is not much activity. Many including myself have backed away from Facebook. Many were never on it. This is a better forum.

By comparing #actor #perceptions, we identified points of agreement as well as disagreement.
Disagreement centers on "societal perception and transparency", "trust" and "usability", especially between #farmers and policymakers.
This axis is thus crucial to establishing the collective understanding necessary for #adoption of #PrecisionAgriculture 6/
