ALEX WALKER X MARTIN HARRY TURPIN | THE ART OF BULLSHITTING | COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
We sat down with Waterloo University Ph.D. students Alex Walker and Martin Harry Turpin this week to discuss some of their latest research in the field of cognitive psychology.
Alex and Martin recently co-authored an academic paper that found "pseudo-profound bullshit titles increased the perceived profoundness" of computer-generated art. In other words, people can BS their way into sounding sophisticated and avant-garde. This led us into a deeper discussion about other research the duo have conducted on the power of language and euphemisms as well as moral psychology.
