Fake Brand Names Become Real

Fake Brand Names Become Real 11/17/2003 05:34 PM
People have been having a lot of fun making fun of the various "nonsense" corporate names that are currently popular among companies like Accenture and Consignia. These are brand names that kind of sound like a word and are created by so-called "branding companies" to give off some sort of perception such as "forward thinking" or "technologically sound". One advertising company thought the trend was so silly they came up with a bunch of similar names themselves and put up a phony front end that would let you create your own brand name based on the attributes you wanted. What they didn't realize was that some people might actually use the brand names they came up with. Apparently, a few of the brand names they suggest have been snapped up by real companies - though, two of the companies claim they had no idea about the site and came up with the brand names independently.

"While causing harm to no one"

"While causing harm to no one" 02/05/2005 09:14 PM
Here's more on today's New York Supreme Court decision on gay marriage. The court ruled that the New York's city clerk may no longer deny marriage licenses to gay couples. The decision, which is available here, won't take effect for 30 days, leaving time for an appeal to be filed before the city clerk would have to begin allowing gay marriages.

Self-help equals self-harm?

Self-help equals self-harm? 12/02/2003 03:10 AM
Self-he lp equals self-harm? Are self-help books harmful rather than helpful? This article argues that dissatisfaction with one's abilities and achievements will not not be helped by affirmations of self-worth. Nor will we succeed in coping with the bitter feelings for those who have wronged us by practing the "anger therapy" of slamming a punching bag. [More Inside]

On the avoidance of harm...

On the avoidance of harm... 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

There's some fascinating stuff around about the relationship of depressive illness to strategies of harm avoidance:

Clinical depression is associated with two modulations occurring simultaneously and chronically, dysphoria and the generalized stress response. Dysphoria is a modulation that is part of the harm perception/avoidance axis. This is an emotion we all feel when we perceive a futility in our current behavior and experience disappointment. In contrast, we experience anger and aggression when the disappointment is perceived as being caused by an external source. When the disappointment causes dysphoria, the modulation shift increases behavioral inhibition, increases anticipation of harm, increases harm avoidance, increases introspection, decreases exploration of the environment, decreases reactivity to external stimuli, decreases appetite for food and decreases sexual appetite.

In short, it coordinates functions that allow us to retreat, introspect and to redirect our efforts in a more effective direction. In this instance, dysphoria facilitates adaptation to disappointment. [mentalheal thandillness.com]

I like that. Dysphoria faciliates adaptation to disappointment. Lots of interesting things fall out of investigations like these, but this sense of harm avoidance is the one that interests me most - that the depressive personality and the introverted personality are heavily connected. That the wallflower reacts to disappointment, attributed internally. Fascinating stuff.

Forget Harm, Mobile Phones Help Kids

Forget Harm, Mobile Phones Help Kids
Think Clearly? 09/23/2004 03:21 AM
Every month or so, yet another study comes out that says mobile phone radiation either does, or does not, cause some sort of bodily harm, often in the form of cancer. Each study is trumpeted by the press as the definitive study on the subject, only to have that view completely turned around a month later. That's why we tend not to write about those sorts of studies any more (and, yes, there was one earlier this week). However, the head of the PTA in the UK is now claiming that mobile phones help kids think clearly. He's quoted as saying: "From a perspective of pupil performance, it can enhance things, because that heating effect actually improves the neuron transfers between neural pathways, and therefore your thinking ability goes up." This, of course, seems to go well beyond what any study has -- though, the guy in question claims a nameless British scientist told him this, so, obviously, it must be true.
