Crowd-Sourcing Assassination 2.0 - Malcolm Harris
Crowd-Sourcing Assassination 2.0 - Malcolm Harriscyborgology

This document discusses crowd-sourcing assassinations as a tactic, noting that direct confrontation is usually lost and violence should be avoided. It proposes targeting powerful individuals to humanize structures of power and make it less appealing, while limiting risk of collateral damage. However, shooting people is seen as too risky and not who "we" are. Alternatives like leaks, representation, and shaming projects are discussed, along with targeting right-wing individuals and high profile people to redistribute fear through transparency. Violence is ultimately discouraged due to being outgunned and necessarily secretive.Senior Research Project

This paper reviews research on factors that may increase a man's likelihood of committing rape. Studies found that possessing hypermasculine attitudes, exposure to violent or pornographic media, acceptance of rape myths, and high levels of anger were each linked to greater rape proclivity. However, when these elements were combined, the likelihood of a non-rapist becoming a rapist was very high. While the research shows attitudes towards women and rape are complex, these factors appear to form a puzzle that contributes to rape-supportive beliefs and behaviors.Serial killers

A serial killer is defined by the FBI as someone who unlawfully kills two or more victims in separate events, usually with similar methods. Serial killers often have antisocial personality disorder and psychopathic tendencies. Ted Bundy was a serial killer, rapist, and necrophile who assaulted and murdered 30 to 50 women in the 1970s by gaining their trust through his charismatic personality. John Wayne Gacy, also known as the Killer Clown, sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 boys and young men in the 1970s, burying most of their bodies under his home. He was executed by lethal injection in 1994.Characters from the alienist

The document provides information about training for police on how to interact with military veterans. It discusses how military culture and experiences can impact veterans' beliefs and behaviors. It recommends that police understand a veteran's mindset, use respectful communication tools like acknowledging without judgment, appeal to a sense of mission, and work to de-escalate tensions rather than escalating aggression. The goal is for police to safely resolve situations by understanding a veteran's perspective rather than against it.Logical Fallacies

This document summarizes research on the motivations of serial sexual killers. It discusses three main motivations: the need for power, expressing rage against women/men, and releasing sexual desire. Several studies are examined that use qualitative and quantitative methods to understand these motivations. Key findings include that serial sexual killers often experienced neglectful family environments with abuse, isolation, and paraphilias developing from a young age. Their crimes often involve planning and sadistic acts to gain a sense of control. Understanding their developmental experiences and psychological factors is important for comprehending the minds of serial sexual killers.Columbine Killers And Subversive Questions

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and 1 teacher and injured 24 others in a mass shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999. It was one of the deadliest school shootings in American history and sparked debates around gun control laws, availability of firearms, and the role of violence in media and video games. Eric Harris identified as a materialist and believed that only nature exists based on science and math, rejecting morality as man-made. The shooting provoked questions about where the killers went wrong in their thinking, if they can be considered rational given their beliefs, and their responsibility for the crimes.Logic 101 lecture 2

Dennis Rader, known as the BTK serial killer, murdered at least 10 victims in Kansas between 1974-1991. As a child, he engaged in animal cruelty and developed fantasies of bondage, control, and torture. He appeared outwardly normal as an adult, marrying and working stable jobs, but secretly struggled with sadistic sexual fantasies. He derived pleasure from strangling and asphyxiating women, taking souvenirs and photos to relive the experiences. After 30 years of investigations, Rader was only caught when he began contacting police to seek recognition for his crimes. He was classified as a lust killer who killed for power and control and displayed psychopathic and narcissistic traits common in serial killersCharacters from the Alienist

The document summarizes the Salem Witch Trials that took place in 1692 in Massachusetts. Accused witches were often tortured into false confessions and those making accusations had motives to do so. The process involved arrests, examinations under torture, grand jury indictments, trials and punishments like hanging if found guilty. Tituba was influential in accusing others to escape her own hanging. Sarah Good was an accused witch disliked in the community. By 1693 the trials slowed as educated elites worked to end the hysteria and innocent people being killed as realization set in. In total, 19 were executed, 4 died in prison, over 100 were arrested and 2 dogs were also executed.I Can't Believe You Said That!

Serial killers are people who murder two or more people in separate events over time, usually for psychological reasons. There are gaps between killings that can range from hours to years. The exact number of victims is often unknown, even if a killer is convicted of some murders, as they may have more victims. Some of the most famous serial killers include Ted Bundy, who murdered dozens of young women in the 1970s, and Jeffrey Dahmer, who murdered 17 men between 1978-1991 in Milwaukee through methods like strangulation, dismemberment, and cannibalism.Serial killer psych

Serial killers typically kill three or more people over a period of more than a month, with cooling off periods between murders. They are motivated by psychological gratification rather than a clear motive. Criminal profiling uses clues from crime scenes to predict the personality and characteristics of unknown offenders, distinguishing between organized and disorganized offenders. Common traits of serial killers include being a white male aged 25-35, with intelligence ranging from low to high. Many experienced childhood abuse and develop rich fantasy worlds involving violence and sex.The Salem Witch Trials

The Salem Witch Trials began in January 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts when Reverend Samuel Paris' daughter and niece began having unexplained illnesses. They accused Tituba, Sarah Osborne, and Sarah Good of witchcraft. Tituba confessed while the others denied it. Over 100 people were accused of witchcraft, with 19 being hanged and one pressed to death. Ergot poisoning from contaminated bread or disputes over land and property are believed to have actually caused the strange behavior leading to the accusations. The trials ended in 1692 when ministers began doubting witchcraft and convictions were overturned.Racism and Racial Profiling

This paper examines racism and racial profiling. It discusses how racism began with religious conflicts and evolved to include differences in ethnicity, social class, and race. Racial profiling stems from social experiences and beliefs that associate certain characteristics with dangerousness. The paper argues that racism affects everyone both as victims and perpetrators, and explores how fear, lack of knowledge, and belief systems motivate racism. It concludes that openly discussing racism in education and questioning societal structures are needed to reconstruct society and counteract racism.Delusion(psychiatric)

The document discusses Karl Popper's theory of falsification and its evolution over time. It explains that Popper argued scientific theories are never truly verified, but can be falsified by a single contradictory observation. Theories should aim to be falsifiable to be considered scientific. Later, Popper acknowledged natural selection as testable despite initial doubts. The document also examines criticisms of falsification, such as that theories may not be falsified even when observations contradict them, depending on how the theory is modified in response.Religious language

- Realists believe that language corresponds to reality, while anti-realists see language and reality as separate. Debates around religious language depend on these theories.
- Religious language involves both cognitive claims that can be verified, as well as non-cognitive language expressing emotion. Verificationists argue religious claims must be empirically verifiable to have meaning, while falsificationists say they must at least be falsifiable.
- Later thinkers like Wittgenstein argued that meaning depends on use within a language game or form of life, not verification. Religious language may have meaning for believers without needing to satisfy philosophical tests of meaning.More Related Content

Verification PrincipleLouise Hutton
油
The document discusses the Verification Principle and its critique. It begins by stating the goals of explaining and critiquing the Verification Principle. It then provides an activity for students to determine whether philosophical statements are meaningful based on the Principle. The document goes on to define the Verification Principle as stating that only analytic statements or empirical verifiable statements are meaningful, while all other statements are meaningless. It provides examples of statements and asks which are empirically verifiable. Finally, it discusses John Hick's critique that the existence of God cannot be empirically verified but may be in the future, challenging logical positivism.A2 Popper Recap
A2 Popper RecapApril Lennox-Hill's Sociology Lessons
油
Popper rejected inductive reasoning and verificationism, which were approaches used by positivists. He argued that inductive reasoning, which involves generalizing from specific observations, is flawed because a single counter-example can falsify the generalization. Popper proposed falsificationism instead, where a scientific theory must be capable of being proven wrong through empirical testing. A good theory, according to Popper, must be falsifiable but withstand attempts to falsify it. No theory can ever be proven absolutely true, only withstand falsification attempts so far. Popper also argued that science thrives in open societies that allow criticism and debate, while closed societies dominated by rigid orthodoxies tend to stifle scientific progress.

This document discusses the philosophy of Karl Popper and his contributions to epistemology. It outlines Popper's rejection of inductivism and verificationism, and his proposal of falsificationism as a criterion for scientific theories. Popper argued that a theory is scientific if it can be falsified, not verified, by empirical tests. The document also reviews criticisms of Popper's views from thinkers like Kuhn, Feyerabend and others.Recently uploaded (20)

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.

Falsification revision
- 2. FALSIFICATION This means to prove something is false. Falsification principle accepts a statement is verifiable if it known what empirical evidence could count against it or prove it to be wrong.
- 3. ANTONY FLEW The parable of the two explorers in the Jungle: This story is about two explorers who were in the Jungle, one explorer repeatedly modifies the qualities that he attributes to an alleged gardener who is looking after to forest clearing. This story links to religious language because it cannot be proved wrong as a religious person will always believe and have faith, Religious people act the same as the believing explorer. Flew suggests that religious people refuse to let their beliefs be falsified, instead when religious people are challenged they qualify their beliefs. Flew suggests that by this the original belief is lost. Dying a death of a thousand qualifications Flew believes a statement must be open to challenge to be meaningful; religious people deny challenges to statements of Gods existence; they are meaningless.
- 4. R.M. HARE The Parable of the lunatic: The lunatic believes that they university staff are plotting to kill him. So his friends introduce him to the nicest and kindest people however this doesnt alter his belief that they are trying to kill him. Hare uses this story to show that people have a way that they see the world, know as their Blik. They can be insane or sane, there are no sense observations that are able to help resolve conflicting Bliks. However this story doesnt aid traditional views, if religious beliefs are Bliks, this suggests that religious beliefs are a interpretation of the world which could also be sane or insane. Weaknesses of this include religious people believe that it is more than just an approach to life.
- 5. BASIL MITCHELL Story: There is a war in an occupied country and one night there is a member of the resistance that meets a stranger in the night. They end up speaking and the stranger says that he is on the side of the resistance, and that he is command of it and convinces the partisan to have faith in him no matter what. Sometimes the stranger is seen to be helping the resistance and the partisan says that he on their side however sometimes the stranger is seen in the uniform of the police and is shown to be handing over people to the occupying power. Once this happened someone spoke against him and the partisan still believes that he is on their side, and does not believe that the stranger was deceiving him. He wont test the stranger either. This story suggests that there may be events that count against or in favour of a believers Blik. Mitchell also agrees that theological statements are just assertions. He concludes that religious statements of belief could be provisional hypothesis, significant articles of faith or vacuous formulae
