💡 Great primer on the basics of Russian propaganda. These exact psychological methods are also increasingly being used by wannabe-dictators and Putin's assets in the West.

Not just as an #AudienceEngagement researcher, but also as a frequent #VRart audience member, I hope some of VR creators will read my article in MIT's Presence: Virtual and Augmented Reality @mitpress. The article will be published soon!

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.
I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.
Why the figures for arts attendance in England have been stable for some 20 years despite indefinite variables in action? We should rethink methods for data collection. But we should also rethink audience development practices.

Remember our study last week on ORF? Here are the details: we found that a short museum visit reduced anxiety and stress. People listening to music while viewing Klimt's mural found the painting more pleasant and the music helped them to focus on the art. doi.org/10.1037/aca0000641

As I'm fond of saying, real and unpredictable elections are a blessing in this world, but it often takes those from places without them to appreciate them. Do not take them for granted! Treasure your democracy and always vote while you can. 🇵🇱

In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard.
“The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.”
He plots stories on 2 axes:
X: Time
Y: Good fortune / ill fortune
He goes on to say,
“Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.”
Point 1:
Stories have defined patterns.
In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey.
Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world.
Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes.
Each story, he said, fit one of the 8.
Point 2:
Vonnegut says,
“Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.”
To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer.
Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for.
Point 3:
End on a high note.
Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.”
The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it.
It’s called recency bias.
Lift people up and they will love you.

“There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.”
I wrote this with @RobbieCrab. Follow him for lessons on storytelling + fundraising.
And I talk about creative storytelling. Follow @nathanbaugh27 for more like that.

AI just reconstructed a Pink Floyd song from brain activity.
And it sounds shockingly clear.
Think about the potential of this tech for people struggling with communication.
We're living in the future.

Students at Stanford University developed glasses that transcribe speech in real-time for deaf people. Amazing. The product is called TranscribeGlass.
