Applied Evolutionary Biology, Physiology, & Psychology: Behavior Studies

[Body-by-Guinness]

Dear me, two new topics in the same day. Hopefully our esteemed Global Moderator will let me live. 

As noted elsewhere, I’ve fallen down a behavior studies rabbit hole of late, with a YouTube channel called The Behavior Panel being my current focus, but they have lit a fuse: I’ll be seeking other sources to make sure I’m not taking these four behaviorists as gospel.

First up, a three plus year old examination of Joe Biden’s response to sexual harassment claims made before the 2020 election. Suffice to say, he does not fare well:

Currently playing in the background here: a Trump deposition being given the same treatment. Standby, I’ll be reporting on it soon.

Interesting to compare/contrast this analysis to the Biden one posted above. The similarity in both is they involve claims of sexual assault. I think it’s safe to say Trump comes out better.

I think it’s worthwhile to make some other comparisons between the two. Biden was interviewed by a reporter, Trump a lawyer seeking to insert her hand deeply into his pocket, so I’d argue Trump was in the more stressful situation, though I suppose Biden had a presidential race potentially on the line, not that both aren’t in the same boat now.

And outcomes are worth considering: nothing really came Biden’s way as a result of his interview, while a $450 dollar judgement landed on Trump, despite the fact I believe any fair assessment would view Trump as being less deceptive than Biden in their respective videos here. I think the big takeaway here is these outcomes serve to illustrate just how uneven the playing field is.

Oh my goodness, not only does Hunter not survive this scrutiny well, but his interviewers are outed as utter hacks. Indeed, as much as I’m enjoying the perspectives where the principles are concerned, I’m learning a hell of a lot about how to spot it when the MSM is in the tank for someone:
