i loved your post on MBPT and why it is pseudoscientific bullshit, can you do a similar take down of body language analysis used in "criminal psychology"

I don't have the level of expertise on body language that I do on psychometrics, but I can recommend this article by an expert.

To sum up: body language is entirely dependent on context, so much so that it's impossible to know with certainty from a single conversation what any one person's gestures mean. If I ask my sister "How was dinner last night?" and she smiles big while throwing out both arms and exclaiming "it was great!", then I know dinner sucked. I know that because she isn't the type of person to use those behaviors, except occasionally in sarcasm. If I ask my dad "How was dinner last night?" and he smiles big while throwing out both arms and exclaiming "it was great!", then I know dinner was great. I know those because he is the type of person to use those behaviors in everyday life. If I ask a stranger about dinner and get that response, then it's probably safe to assume sincerity rather than sarcasm, but I don't have enough info to know. Celebrities, tiktokers, suspects, and other strangers just aren't informative enough to draw conclusions.

Body language "analysis" also forgets that we humans actively choose how to present ourselves. Many people report making eye contact and holding still during lies, because of the stereotype that liars fidget and look away. I try to smile and nod more often during unpolished presentations, because seeing students smile and nod makes me feel better when I'm presenting badly. But I also nod and smile automatically during insightful and well-made presentations. So if you see me smiling and nodding during your presentation, it's a sign that I think your presentation is good or that it's bad. And I'm the only person who knows for sure which one it is; my body doesn't offer enough info for you to know.

Lie Detector Belfast

Lie Detection in Belfast Ireland Lie detection refers to the use of techniques and tools to ascertain the veracity of statements made by individuals. In Ireland, polygraph testing is one of the primary methods employed for lie detection, with companies such as Lie Detector LTD providing comprehensive services for individuals and organizations. Polygraph Testing A polygraph, commonly known as a lie detector, measures physiological responses—such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and skin conductivity—while an individual answers a series of questions. These responses are analyzed to identify signs of deception. The accuracy of polygraph tests typically ranges between 85% and 95%, though external factors such as stress or health conditions can impact results. Lie Detector LTD is a prominent provider of polygraph services in Ireland, offering a broad spectrum of tests tailored to specific needs. These include domestic dispute resolution, employment screening, insurance fraud investigations, and family law verification. Their services are available nationwide, with examiners conducting tests in cities such as Dublin, Belfast, and Limerick. Applications of Lie Detection Lie detection methods are employed in various fields to uncover dishonesty and resolve disputes. Key applications include: Corporate Settings: Pre-employment screenings and investigations into employee theft or fraud. Legal and Family Disputes: Supporting family law cases and addressing false allegations. Insurance and Fraud Investigations: Validating claims to detect fraudulent activity. Media and Sports: Ensuring integrity in reporting and competitive fairness. Legal Status in Ireland While polygraph testing is legal in Ireland, the results are not generally admissible in court proceedings. Nevertheless, the method is widely used in non-legal contexts to gather information and provide clarity in disputes. Criticism and Limitations Despite its popularity, polygraph testing has been subject to criticism due to questions about its reliability and susceptibility to external influences. Factors such as nervousness, medical conditions, and examiner expertise can affect the accuracy of results. Additionally, polygraph tests are not foolproof and should not be considered a definitive measure of truthfulness. Service Accessibility Lie Detector LTD offers a mobile testing service, enabling clients to access polygraph exams at convenient locations. Their primary office is located in Sandyford Business Centre, Dublin 18, but they accommodate requests throughout Ireland. Conclusion Lie detection, while not a perfect science, remains a valuable tool in resolving disputes and verifying truthfulness in various contexts. Companies like Lie Detector LTD play a significant role in making polygraph testing accessible and reliable for clients in Ireland.

Can a machine truly know when we are lying? In a world where artificial intelligence permeates every aspect of our lives, from the phones in our pockets to the cars we drive, the idea that AI can now discern the truthfulness of our statements may sound like science fiction. Yet, here we are, on the cusp of an era where AI doesn’t just work for us; it understands us – perhaps even better than we…

Honestly one of the things I like about Edwin’s character development and accepting he likes guys is that everyone else is so normal about it. He’s the only one going But. That’s Not Allowed? And Niko the others are like sure it is! They take Monty liking him as something normal and obvious. Being surrounded by people who take that kind of thing as a given is such a nice (and bizarre) feeling when you’re not used to it

And of course when he tells Charles and there’s no recoil no betrayal just “ok I can’t say I feel the same way but you ARE my best friend and I’m not going anywhere.” The confession didn’t make anything weird. They have as much time as they want to figure this out. I love them so much

I am a good person. I am a powerful person, I don't believe in evil. I think that evil is an idea created by others to avoid dealing with their own nature. I understand my own nature, good and evil have nothing to do with it.

You know what I need everytime Tim or Dick lie no one catches them. Not Kon not Bruce no one.

They could say the sky is fucking purple and immediately they assume it is and god forbid they check, Oh my eyes are deceiving me.

I need Tim to walk up to Bruce say some out of pocket bullshit and across the room Dick just looks up.

The only ones who can clock each others shit is each other.

Sometimes they make a game of it they gaslight Jason so hard he thinks there's another Robin named Nibor.

Brotherly bonding by making everyone else confused and slightly terrified.

The thing is no one will ever find out no one understands their tells. They both have there own ways of making everything sound like the gods honest truth.

Nevermind the brotherly comfort or angst where someone ask if they are ok and when the I'm fine is said They know to do a bat sucide watch.

Just think big bird and baby bird gaslight gatekeep girlbossing their way to victory.

idk whos this horse killer guy but hes kinda hot

[densewentz]

can you guys imagine how fucking funny it would have actually been if Edwin HAD just gotten frisky with the Cat King that first meeting like. Edwin pops up outta thin air several hours after being abducted by an unknown entity intent on punishing a serious transgression and Charles and Crystal are just like. What happened? What did he do? Do we have to run? What's going on????? And Edwin is just clearing his throat and hastily straightening his bowtie and if his voice cracks when he tells them "don't be ridiculous, I told you I had everything well in hand" then that's his business. Charles would chew through the walls at Edwin not telling them how he got out of being punished 💀
