Lilly Irani - Comments

Brains scans make a phenomenon uncritically real, objective or effective in the eyes of the public. In neuro-essentialism, our identities are over-hastily equated with the brain. These lead to "neuro-fallacies", even in respected publications like the New York Times, the Financial Times or the Washington Post. And in an article to be published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience next year, Yale University PhD student Deena Skolnick Weisberg warns that laymen are much more willing to accept shoddy science if it is accompanied by neuroscience gobbledegook. - Lilly Irani

Hahahaha. This is great because this article does let me define myself as not-a-hipster because I do give a shit. I don't care if you think Ani DiFranco is cheesy or punks are naive or that feminism is spent because I don't. - Lilly Irani

No way, no link. I don't want to out her. :) But am I irrational to think that if you call yourself Staff <TITLE> at Google, you should actually have been a staff <title>, since at google, staff is fairly grand poobah? Or is the staff suffix simply a redundant and harmless reminder than not only were you <title> but also a member of the tech staff? kfury gives benefit of the doubt. I have righteous vitriol. - Lilly Irani

Best thing is to explain in private if asked, but not discuss publicly. Inflating titles will cause the person doing it problems if a potential employer starts asking around about them. - Chris White

Agreed with Chris White. I have caught out someone doing this before when he applied for a job at my company. I knew someone he worked with, etc, etc. Any place that thinks about hiring will check around. - Phil
