They did a bunch of repetitions in different ways.
Different scenarios. One of the earlier ones was that Sally's friend was stung by a jellyfish and she poured something on it which, instead of healing it, killed the friend.
I wonder they maybe changed it to 'swimming with jellyfish' because it seems a very silly thing to do (advise your friend to swim with jellyfish) whereas the first scenario was a bit more of a "oh dear but fair enough" mistake?
Yes, good point.
Yes. To be fair, we all do this to some extent. But neurodivergent folk do it less - relying on heuristics I mean.
My feeling is that's also why we get quite tired in unfamiliar contexts. We are taking in a lot more original information.
So it's a form of selection bias I suppose. If that were the case, yes.
I like your angle 
Yes - I've been fascinated by logic recently. I feel it can be usefully used in a lot of contexts that involve dismantling power structures.
Sally Janet 
Exactly this, yes. I'm always a bit astonished at what I've perceived to be the arrogance of people who are very sure about their own intentions.... Especially when they keep repeating the same actions over and over, and then act surprised about there being a similar outcome every time

Exactly 
this.
And while the deterrence makes sense and is useful, the other things don't and aren't.
Ah... except perhaps for the purpose of maintaining power structures and the status quo ️
(I'm laughing as I write this, and thinking, "ah, no wonder people don't like us" - especially privileged ones who like their position)
Thanks for this. My way of answering a lot of conundrums is "that depends" 
Or even... "That depends on how we define [...]"
So much that my kids would often answer for me lol
Also I wanted to say sorry for changing the name from Sally to Janet. I realised there were a bunch of jellyfish studies, and in the one with the swimming the name given is Janet. Making it look like you're responding randomly with a different name. My sincere apologies for that!
Ooh beautifully put!! I'm bookmarking your post so I don't forget.
I'm the same.
This thread is actually a byproduct out of an article I'm writing on autistic empathy. I'm nearly done but these are the kinds of things that will go into it.
(And when finished I'll be asking for people's thoughts / feedback!)
I so agree about knowing the edge of your knowledge. At least a little humility...
Goodness yes 
Or to those who did not 
@HighlandLawyer @fishidwardrobe
Exactly this.
Absolutely. And that was error no. 1
