The only non experts thread

Unread postby jasonraymondson » Thu 18 Oct 2007, 23:37:19

No posting by so called experts.

This is a non caste thread, devoted to subjects that only concern us dumb dumbs who have nothing to offer peakoil.com apparently.


DUH what do I say next :roll:

I've relinquished my expert status. I'm a bit of an oil-tard. I admit it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'I') belong here. I am a belligerent generalist. I do not have the confidence (hubris?) of a specialist and therefore can not parse, dissemble, and reduce every argument to suit my particular business plan. We are the truth.


Thank you for joining our humble group on the mentally incompetent.

Kind of hard to be an expert when there is no fuel to get your expertise off the ground.

Apparently that little fact fell off his expert radar.

I give the airline industry the shortest fuse behind school buses to to end abruptly.

That's alright AP you can work on my plantation turning shit into mulch.

How do I remove it? I'm thinking Aaron will read through the threads on this topic and delete it.

Aaron, could you delete the 'Expert' title, please. Kind of you, but oil-tard. Seriously.

There. Am I in the club?

I used to be a contender....for one day....sigh. :lol:

What Aaron has done is reproduce here, on a small scale, Prof. Phillip Zambardo's famous "Stanford Prison Experiment."

http://www.prisonexp.org/

One of the most notorious psychology experiments ever conducted, it involved labelling one group of typical students as "guards" and a second group of students as the prisoners. In short order the "guards" became abusive and power-crazed and the prisoners became subservient and unhappy.

Labelling people is a very powerful thing. People accept labels and what they imply.

By dividing the posters here at PeakOil.com into "experts" and "non-experts" Aaron has created two classes of people and initiated a curious little experiment. Some people are preening and buying into their new status after having officially been labelled experts and others are irked at being left in the "lower class" of non-expert poster. (I'll admit it...I'm kinda irked myself.....Its just part of human nature).

It will be interesting to see if this turns out like Zambardo's experiment. 8)

I doubt that was his intentions, but you never know with Aaron.. He may hate us all enough to do something like that.

Plantagenet, your post reminds me of Jane Elliott's Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes Exercise
