Comments on: Review – Lie To Me http://podblack.com/2009/02/review-lie-to-me/ Science, Superstitions and Skeptical Life Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:18:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Adam http://podblack.com/2009/02/review-lie-to-me/comment-page-1/#comment-32584 Adam Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:26:57 +0000 http://podblack.com/?p=1211#comment-32584 from the 4 episodes I've seen sofar, the radical honesty thing is a choice. but i'm waiting to see him say something really stupid. Aspergers are totally screwed when it comes to micro expressions. But, as the shows tells us, you can learn about these things. And if an asperger finds something interesting, they can learn real well... However, you have to constantly focus on the other person, not only on what they're saying, but how and what their face does. And carrying a conversation is already hard for aspies. What normal ppl unconsciously process you have to record, evaluate with past experience, consider appropriate replies, look the other in the eye, not too long... makes you damn tired... hoping the science stays right, i'll continue watching and hopefully learn. from the 4 episodes I’ve seen sofar, the radical honesty thing is a choice. but i’m waiting to see him say something really stupid.

The interview was for the show, and he was saying he participated with the condition that the main character be nothing like him at all. Very amusing. He sounded like he had very strong control over the accuracy of the science, and while he admits it's a little diluted, he seemed to take ownership over the work in a way that I'm sure not many science advisors have the opportunity to. Sounds like an interesting show to check out.

I'd have to read more on it... Actually, I don’t think it’s something the guy can help… it appears to be more of a condition? I’d have to read more on it…

And the "radical honesty"? Maybe if he directed it at someone besides gorgeous women or children - say, telling a biker he looks ugly, or the biker's girlfriend that he'd like to sleep with her. At the moment, for the little bit I saw, it's just an excuse to say what he feels like. I couldn’t make it through two episodes, myself. And the “radical honesty”?

If visual trumps audible, people with Asperger's are at a significant disadvantage in telling when people are lying - they don't like to look people in the face, so even if they force themselves to do so, their recognition skills won't be as good as someone without Asperger's. Lack of practice. Hmmm.

Had to stop watching it before I got done with the first episode. I think, as soon as I work out what exactly was bothering me about it, I'll probably sit back down and watch it again. And now I have to go read "The Man Who Mistook His Wife". I started trying to watch it, something in the first 5 minutes put me off – not sure what.

If it helps dispel the notion that polygraphs are worth anything more than a tool to trick people into confessing, I am all for it.

I had my own problems with polygraphs.

I think the humor in it is pretty subtle, I haven't had 'laugh-out-louds' like I do with House. Not a bad show, if it is based upon decent science, I’l be more willing to give it a continuing shot.
