-1. Mental Templates, Assemblages, Ideas, Different Forms of A, 2. Satirical Literacy
-1. Mental Templates are the cognitive models behind what motivates a behavior, ideology, action or made object, collectively these make up assemblages 200419-1.1 All. For example A a A A A are all recognizable as the letter “A” which is part of written language, with associated sounds, are expected to be found in certain contexts (books, signs, memes) and encountered in assemblages (libraries, classrooms/ students, bookstores students an), and have symbolic meanings. However H ▲ א Å which have similar appearances, contexts or sound quality are not recognized as being “A”, or can be misinterpreted as “A”.
-A. Mental Templates can provide an inductive entry into a worldview that helps provide an explanation for behaviors and devices that otherwise are nonsense in a different worldview. Artifacts are one way to begin to understand a worldview. Take a microscope and study all its internal aspects and external connections and one will quickly be exploring history, industry, glass, medicine, science, optics, microbes, commerce, telescopes, infrastructure, applications. These however still doesn’t lead to understanding the way the world in interpreted.
-B. It is the ideofacts that leads to understanding of interpretation of what is perceived, which leads to templates that are mental, of what people think, which then gives insight into behavior. At one time looking through a microscope one saw animalcules, now one sees germs, pollutants, particulates, voids, fractures and the subatomic. Not only did magnification of this type leads to new technology, industries and sciences, it also caused a change in worldview. However, not all worldviews have reached the same conclusions. The way learn about interpretations are from what people said and wrote, the more informal, raw or misleading the better for gaining insight into the cognitive process involved.
-C. To gain a glimpse of the different understandings and conclusions one needs to examine assumptions and beliefs via abduction 201025-1F. A person who assumes (trusts what they believe is fact) that all scientists are only intent of making money and refuting religion, is unlikely to accept what is seen in a microscope the same way as someone who is deeply religious, anti capitalist and a chemist.
-D. There are a number of assumptions that are encountered in parademics when existential biocalamities conflict with some worldviews. One of the most hindering assumptions in parademic is the assumption that just because someone is human that they understand other humans and themselves, not recognizing that their success and/or failure in human interactions may not be due to what they empirically believe.
-2. Even Better Than Being Informed: Satirical News and Media Literacy. Rethinking Journalism: Trust and Participation in a Transformed News Landscape. Audiences’ expectations and perceptions of journalism are currently being shaped by considering three pertinent and interrelated changes in concert: The shifting experiences of public trust in the media; increasing audience involvement in journalism; and a growing public understanding of media techniques. I propose we try to understand the shifting nature of the news landscape not by taking journalism as a starting point, but by looking at journalism through the changing lens of its audience(s). More specifically, the idea of media literacy is a helpful concept we can use to begin deciphering the changing audience/ journalism relationship. This was published in 2012 but IT would not take much effort to create a 2020 version.
