Babu Menos 🎵I rediscovered something I wrote in my blog about 1½ years ago. It’s something that doesn’t get old and needs constant reminding.— How Come We Always Assume the Worst in Others? —Most people are pretty decent, says Dutch historian Rutger Bregman¹, author of ‘Utopia for Realists’ (2017) and ‘Humankind’ (2020).🧵 1/2 In an eight-minute video² he explains quite plausbily how doomscrolling, using social media, watching and reading the news changes our perception of humankind. We only see all the bad things happening, which makes us quite susceptible to being persuaded of human vileness. On the other hand, if you believe in the goodness of humanity, so often you are dismissed as this naïve person who doesn’t have a realistic view of the world.But Bregman, after researching the matter, comes to the conclusion that humans are not as evil and raw as they are made out to be. An example: One of the astonishing discoveries from the second World War is that only 15 to 25 per cent of the American soldiers actually fired their guns. They had to be trained and brainwashed to be able to be more ‘effective’ during the Vietnam War.Another valid point he’s making is that science is the only self-correcting system that we have that sort of criticises itself and then develops and becomes better […] ⬇️¹ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutger_Bregman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutger_Bregman</a> ² <a href="https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=TXN7QGGNSWk&local=true" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=TXN7QGGNSWk&local=true</a><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sociology</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychology</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Perception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perception</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/DoomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoomScrolling</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/HumanBehaviour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanBehaviour</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/HumanNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanNature</a>

SPQRGilbert has compiled perhaps the first comprehensive examination of turn-of-the-millennium mainstream, cool-kid trends and ephemera, and how they were largely molded by those in power to sell a generation of girls and young women reality-warping lies: that self-objectification is empowerment, that disciplined conformism is a lifelong project, that sexism is comedy. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookreview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookreview</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sociology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/consumerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consumerism</a> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/books/review/girl-on-girl-sophie-gilbert.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/books/review/girl-on-girl-sophie-gilbert.html</a>

Acemoglu reviews his important work on comparative development and colonialism's effects, ending with consideration of the role of technology in driving reductions in satisfaction with democracy.

Ben WaberLast was "American Apartheid" by Douglas Massey and Nancy Denton. This book takes a sociological and philosophical perspective on the role of America's exclusionary housing policies in driving continued segregation and low socio-economic mobility for Black people in the US through the early 1990s. Read this book for the legal and policy history, which is much deeper and richer than I've seen in most other books on this topicFull review: <a href="https://bookwyrm.social/user/bwaber/review/7346684/s/an-interesting-but-dated-book#anchor-7346684" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bookwyrm.social/user/bwaber/review/7346684/s/an-interesting-but-dated-book#anchor-7346684</a> (6/6) <a href="https://hci.social/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sociology</a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>

Ibrahim HalawiNo matter how much we democratise and liberate our virtual social spaces, we are still socialising (and have socialised since birth) in an exploitative hierarchical world. Are there attempts to acknowledge (and reconcile) these contrasting social experiences? Are there works out there that do well accentuating the implications of this? <a href="https://social.coop/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sociology</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/alternative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alternative</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a>

Panic at the TrishcoI have a theory that I don’t think we can study for another decade or so: People in the United States are more stressed than normal right now, be it from the political atmosphere or economic turmoil. I think this will lead to a higher incident of car accidents as people are driving stressed and losing focus. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hypothesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hypothesis</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sociology</a>
