Episode 43, Violence and
Videogames: The Truth, where I examine the two main types of
"scientific evidence" that purport to show that violence in
videogames leads to violence in the real world - and explain why
they show nothing of the sort. The experiments measure
violence "profiles" based on results of tests, not violence in the
real world. The surveys show correlation not causation
between violent videogames and violence in the real world - and I
explain exactly what that means.
I've been studying and teaching about the statistical flaws and
inadequacies in these studies for years as a Professor of
Communication and Media Studies. If you'd like to really
understand what these studies are trying to demonstrate, but why
they do not, invest 15 minutes of your time and listen to this
podcast.
Plus flashes ... iTunes and NBC split - no
big deal - bitTorent is the future, anyway ... now ABC is not only
misreporting Ron Paul, but cropping Kucinich out of photos ...
great summer television...
