CLAIM: You are perceiving world events.
FACT CHECK: You can only perceive events outside of your immediate experience through media representations. Media representations are necessarily limited in scope and influenced by the agenda and biases of the people who create them.

It just dawned on me that you can use Cacioppo and Petty's Elaboration Likelihood Model to illustrate the difference between CHA/persuade rolls in TTRPGs. Charisma is the peripheral route, and persuade is the central route. The number of people who will find this useful is another issue entirely.

It's that time of year again! Today I look at the history of so-called "Medically Unexplained Symptoms" with my students (part of our #pseudoscience class).
Migraines? Rooted in "perfectionism"
Ulcers? "stress"
AIDS? "shame/guilt"
MS? "childhood trauma"
Tropes now recycled for #MECFS & #LongCovid
