Berger, Warren. (2017, February 22). Want to be a better critical thinker? Here’s how to spot false narratives and “weaponized lies.” [Blog post] https://qz.com/915723/want-to-be-a-better-critical-thinker-heres-how-to-spot-false-narratives-and-weaponized-lies/
For years I’ve struggled to understand quantum theory. For months I’ve struggled to understand Trump. I understand both better now, because Trump has invented quantum politics and become Schrödinger's Candidate.
Do you know “Schrödinger's cat”? This highly respected thought-experiment dramatizes how parts of the universe behave quite differently from our familiar reality (and from classical physics). I’ve never been able to hold all the elements of the cat experiment in mind long enough to grasp “quantum superposition” or the “uncertainty principle.”
For those new to Schrödinger's cat, here’s a brief over-simplified summary - skip this section if you don’t need it.
Once upon time, a cat and a device are sealed together inside a box. The highly sensitive and reliable device will release a deadly poisonous gas whenever it first detects even the smallest instance of radioactivity. The box does not block radioactivity. But, when closed, the box does not reveal anything about its contents. Without opening the box, we cannot know whether the cat is alive or dead.**Yet when someone looks in the box, the cat will be seen to be either alive or dead. So, within the closed box the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. That status is offered as an illustration of “quantum superposition.”
Now, how has Donald Trump helped me understand, finally, quantum superposition? I.e., that until we open the box, the cat is BOTH alive and dead? Isn’t that a contradiction? And aren’t contradictions excluded from rational discourse by classical logic, mathematics, rhetoric, the legal system, ...journalistic standards?
Today (May 8, 2016) in “Trump, Truth and the Power of Contradiction,” Michael P. Lynch almost revealed how Donald Trump has finally brought us to the brink of understanding quantum uncertainty. Trump has embraced contradiction. Lynch writes “...Mr. Trump is most effective when he simply says the opposite of what he said before. In part, that’s because Mr. Trump’s contradictions are loud and confident….But it is also because when a person says something as well as its opposite, his listeners can infer that he really believes whichever statement they wish him to believe.”But Lynch didn’t go quite far enough: Trump’s contradictions are like Schrödinger's cat. Trump believes all the statements...until we open the box. Trump is Schrödinger's Candidate!
Schrödinger's Candidate [“Schrödinger's Trump?” Or, may I immodestly call this Gilbert’s Candidate?]Imagine a candidate for elected office unfettered by previous political achievement. A candidate who has never exercised the power, or been restrained by the responsibility, of holding public office.
Prior to the results of his first election, this candidate can, indeed, espouse contradictory policies, make contradictory commitments, and embrace contradictory principles. During the campaign, no one can know which of two or more conflicting positions the candidate will take if he ever has the opportunity to do so.
The candidate’s most fervent, hopeful, and naive supporters can each believe that the candidate truly supports and will energetically pursue only their side of each contradiction. But those of us who understand the new quantum politics know better: Within the election campaign, the candidate is simultaneously pro and con. Really.
Thank you, Donald Trump.

PS: How satisfying that only a Reality TV star could demonstrate so effectively a fundamental feature of Quantum Reality.

Carie Whitehead:LOL! We now have more space, but not enough support people JMcColgan:Hi! I'm Janna, another Instructional Developer in the Central Piedmont Community College broom closet VOC - David Parker - AWC - Yuma, AZ:never enough support people....;-) Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:@Carie - so true for so many! Sally Gilbert, TLT Group:more like a day or two Dale Parker:Cambridge College center in Springfield has one tech person in a little bigger than a closet Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:I'm here @ TLT Group South - in Greenville, SC Carie Whitehead:We have a new Instructional dEveloper starting next week, so we are our way to being less understaffed Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:My pleasure! Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:As noted above, David Parker is our Voice of Chat today. Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:Or... Beth who isn't and Bonnie who is here today (that's me!) Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:David, Dale and Steve K all checked their mics - and all sounded great in the early bird session. It's only Penny who will surprise us with her lovely voice. Jackie Regan:got it Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:ASU Online Digital Learning Platform: http:http://..teachonline.asu.edu/platform/ Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:http://ift.tt/1Df8dTT Sally Gilbert, TLT Group:SO COOL! Carie Whitehead:croos platform and cross browser use rbelair:considering variability of learners and access Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:This is my first time seeing the ASU image. While it's small/hard to see, I really like it and it's worth digging down into it. Love the live interactivity of it! khughes@mail.sdsu.edu:browser incompatibility Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:What is a big challenge when you try to make info accessibel to students via electronic media?

Dear Steven Gilbert, Join us today for FridayLive! There’s an LTA for that! Exchange favorite new/recent LTAs. [LTA=Low-Threshold App/Activity etc.] September 11. FridayLive! There’s an LTA for that! Exchange favorite new/recent LTAs. [LTA=Low-Threshold App/Activity etc.] Presenters: Stephen Kaufman, Senior Instructional Designer, Quality Matters Coordinator / CRM, The University of Akron Penny Kuckkahn, Instructional Designer, Nicolet College Dale Parker, Senior Faculty at Cambridge CollegeSteve Gilbert, Beth Dailey, and others Description Exchange favorite new/recent LTAs. [LTA=Low-Threshold App/Activity etc.] An LTA is an activity or application of information technology that is “low-threshold” i.e., reliable, accessible, easy to learn, non-intimidating and incrementally low-cost in time, money, and stress. Each LTA has easily observable benefits right away and is likely to support important long-term improvements in teaching and/or learning. For this exchange session, we’re extending the definition of LTA to include Apps, Applications, Activities, Resources, Web Sites, ... LTA’s need not depend on any specific information technology. We’ve invited some of our frequent presenters to identify and share some of their favorite new-ish LTAs… and we’ll encourage all who participate to share their favorites too. We expect that each presenter and participant will leave the session eager to try at least one LTA new to them NOTE: Login instructions for the session will be sent in the Registration Confirmation Email. Please check your Junk folder as sometimes these emails get trapped there. We will also send an additional login reminder 24 hours prior to the start of the event.

Respectful, rational discourse is challenged by excessive small media clipsInterview of Norman Lear & Seth MacFarlane in New York Times June 28, 2015:"NL: America’s biggest export is excess. We are excessive about everything. And we’ve become consumers of excess rather than citizens. Media doesn’t inform so much as it argues, bumper-sticker-style. Context is everything, and we get very little context now. We just get the 'Boom!'"..."SM: ...the massive overflow of media — too much media — has made it harder to have a discussion. The freedom to find answers through communication is punished when things are picked apart and used for profit as sound bites."http://nyti.ms/1QURWNR"Norman Lear and Seth MacFarlane and Their TV Families," interview in column "Table for Three," by Philip Galanes, June 26, 2015"A version of this article appears in print on June 28, 2015, on page ST7 of the New York edition with the headline: All in the Family Guys"

Assistant Vice Chancellor & Professor of Chemistry Director Emerita, Center for Academic Success Louisiana State UniversityRegister HereWhy should students understand more about their own options for studying and learning? How can they take more responsibility for their own learning? How can faculty enable students to make more effective choices about their own learning? McGuire and Eder will describe how undergraduate students can improve their own learning rapidly and significantly in most courses (both face-to-face and online) by using strategies such as:A. Teaching students to apply Bloom's Taxonomy and PARSA Study Cycle in specific courses - and more widelyB. Assessing students' engagement with course activities and content Other colleagues will share specific Low-Threshold Activities/Apps/Assessments (LTAs) and Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) that can be used to support such strategies by faculty and/or directly by students to improve student learning in a variety of courses.In FridayLive! in March we revisited Chickering and Gamson's "Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education" and Ehrmann's article, "Implementing the Seven Principles: Technology as Lever." Metacognition was the most frequent suggestion for an extension of the original Seven Principles. Teaching undergraduate students to use Bloom's Taxonomy to make better decisions about their own studying and learning is a strategy of metacognition. Up-coming FridayLive!
