Amy Cuddy is some bullshit social psychologist that had a popular TED talk because she is blonde and attractive. The nonsensical topic of her speaking is that power proses is important fact of life how you deal in every social situation. She was recently a guest on Tom Ashbrook's On Point radio broadcast/podcast and basically she says you have to be a non-verbal authoritarian whenever you speak with anyone to get more respect which is utterly insane. it is a game changer if you can learn these power poses Amy Cuddy explained to Tom Ashbrook and basically the poor are poor because they cant stand up straight and eat too much fried chicken causing them to slouch.
The ideas of Amy Cuddy is why we have this persistent challenges of fat shaming and body imagery problems for our youth as people like professor Amy Cuddy feed into the stereotype of why outside imagery is so important and why this type of thinking by Amy Cuddy shouldn't be challenged for the crap that it is and role in playing categorizing people.
The demise of psychological "science".
ReplyDeleteIt may take a very long time -- aided and abetted by media and monetary incentives, we pop out under educated "experts" who largely have no idea that they have no ideas -- but eventually psychological "science" will implode from a serious bout of vacuity.
