The Shocking Claims about Robin DiAngelo's Plagiarism Scandal | The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe

[@LeverPhile]

Soon we'll hear that plagiarism is just a form of Equity.

[@RogCBrand]

What gets me is how they go off about "Cultural Appropriation" and attack someone for having a restaurant that makes food, or wearing some clothing, a hair style, etc., from a different ethnicity. They act like that is an abomination. Yet they'll have no problem with blatantly stealing from others with plagiarism and other things. It must be nice to be "morality fluid"!

A classmate plagiarized one of my papers in college. I talked to our professor who then excused the incident stating English wasn’t the plagiarist’s first language!! It’s been over 20 years and I still remember how pissed I was…

[@joshuabekel9700]

My tech writing professor jumped my shit when I pointed out that my Arab group member plagiarized their whole section of our paper. I was the a-hole, apparently. I was so pissed. I still wish I had filed a complaint. Also, the Arab students had a bad reputation for cheating. But, my observation was the Canadians in mining were the worst offenders.

@adamroach3407 the annoying part is they were getting a free pass because of the amount of tuition they paid. The chancellor and his lackeys were more than happy to turn a blind eye. He was far more upset the local newspaper was reporting on the problem. Two bad cheating blow ups while I was a student. I was a bit disillusioned. This school HAD an incredible reputation.

[@tomleonard6177]

I learned in college that the concept that people act differently when being observed is called the "Hawthorne Effect." I believe Heisenberg speaks to knowing the speed or location of a subatomic particle but not being able to know both.

[@LeverPhile]

@tomleonard6177 Yes! Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: Loosely speaking, for quatum particles the more accurately we know speed (momentum) of a particle, the less accurately we know its location. Both can not be known with perfect accuracy simultaneously.

[@DrBilly90210]

4:30 Mike's mixing his metaphors re: uncertainty principle. If he wants to use one from quantum mechanics, Schrodinger's cat would be more appropriate. A non-QM one would be (as noted), the Hawthorne effect.

[@andrewfoskett6192]

Yes - Hawthorne effect. From memory - Factory workers were observed under a number of worsening environmental conditions - poor lighting, poor heating etc. Yet their performance improved despite the worsening conditions - because they knew they were being observed.

When your ethics and politics don't tolerate dissent from a strict set of beliefs and policies, plagiarism is inevitable.

[@birdjericho]

In fact, it becomes a duty to take someone else's better ideas and twist them into your correct ethical viewpoint. If you don't, then you've just "allowed" an idea that contradicts your perfect worldview to exist in the world. And when you're ethically right and they're ethically wrong, well... we can't have that, can we.

[@craiggulley]

not Heisenberg principle but the Observer Effect or Hawthorne Effect

[@yellingintothewind]

Not Heisenberg's uncertainty, not even the generalized uncertainty principle. It's the observer effect. The generalized uncertainty principle gives only the absolute lower bound in the uncertainty in simultaneous values _calculated_ (not observed) through quantum mechanics. And that lower bound is _tiny_ (on the order of ℏ). It has nothing to do with observations of _anything_ made through classical mechanics. It is often confused with the Observer Effect, since the latter isn't associated with a cool sounding name. The observer effect is something that comes up not _just_ in quantum mechanics, but all of science. The act of observing, or the steps necessary for the observation, necissarily changes the effect observed, often in a fundamental way. This is entirely different from not being able to precisely _measure_ the effect, the effect itself is changed.

In terms of hip hop, it isn’t making a claim, it’s trying to sound good for what it is; it isn’t dishonest. Likewise a rock or metal band can be retro or worship of an older sound, but again, as it’s honest about what it is, that isn’t a problem.
