Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment, often described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. The thought experiment presents a cat that might be alive or dead, depending on an earlier random event. In the course of developing this experiment, he coined the term Verschränkung—literally, entanglement.
How can there be an intersection between truth and non-truth? I’m confused, but not amused. Must be something I didn’t learn in college.
An intersection does not necessarily mean that both are logically compatible but merely that the can be combined in the same article. In chemical terms, it’s more like a suspension than an alloy, if you know what I mean.
Good illustration – I had been thinking along the same lines as Newb.
Syntax vs semantics.
Shin’s comments show that the diagram is well-formed syntactically. The meaning of the labels cause it to be impossible semantically. The overlap of “true” and “false” is a null set.
I always thought truth and fiction were the same thing….
I guess that comes from listening to politicians.
Your problem is that you learned what Venn diagrams are; the maker of the graph did not.
Quit being a graph snob. It’s a f-ing humor site.
Problem is, it ain’t funny. Part of the problem is that it doesn’t mean anything.
And thus, it’s marketing.
Everyone’s a journalist now with their blogs and social networking.
darn those teenagers and their social networking…
Yeah, it cheapens real journalism.
That’s a bit like saying “Girls Gone Wild” cheapens the local prostitutes…
Really? Do tell.
WIN!
… and everyone is a poet, with the text messagning and such
“Journalism School”? really? no just regular school with Journalism as a major but “Journalism School”?
That’s what they call it.
Yeppers.
In schools there are other different schools. Business school, school of fine arts, music school, and I’m sure somewhere, journalism school.
It could be a trade school…?
Consider swapping the words “fiction” and “marketing.” Because how they market it is often how the truth gets turned into fiction…
I think “Fiction” should be more accurately replaced with “Lies” and the intersection can be described as both “Marketing” and “Lying by omission” – You are not technically “lying” – you just present the truth in such a way as to represent something that it is not. Kinda like selling the car where the paint is all peeling on the right side and posting only the picture of the left side of the car…
An example:
Truth: cookie dough, living creature.
Fiction: Living food.
Combination/Marketing: The Pillsbury doughboy.
Graph is correct and amusing. I approve.
One word: yeast
Ohhh…
It all makes sense to me now….
Nope. The Pillsbury doughboy is fictional.
fail
Perhaps you misunderstand my meaning. How do I explain this…okay, the doughboy is a mascot for the Pillsbury brand (as far to my knowledge, at least), which makes him part of marketing. Being, basically, a living piece of cookie dough, he also could be considered half-real and half-fake, depending on how you look at it.
usa jornalism = lies
Don’t expect it to get any better around the rest of the world
I’m not saying it’s the best, just far from the worst.
YES! I agree! I too, learned this in college…I was a journalism major.
Me too. This is what I learned in J-School. It’s also why I’m not a journalist.
OK… I think I see a funny in here… the point is that J-students don;t learn simple logic.
Don’t you learn this in daily life?
Do you really have to go to Journalism School?
There’s a big difference between knowing something and owning a large expensive piece of paper saying someone else thinks you know something.
These circles need to be closer together.
the colors need to be prettier
Graph fail. It implies that marketing is the truth.
Marketers think so.
I guess the intention was to say that marketing is half-truth and half-fiction. Of course that’s not the way you actually read a Venn diagram, all the things in the truth set should be all-truth and all the things in the fiction set should be all-fiction, which makes things in marketing simultaneously completely truth and completely fiction.
Yep, marketing should have had its own circle that partially overlapped with truth and fiction. Truth and fiction shouldn’t have any overlap.
Fixed it for ya.
Where the Hell is the layout part of this!!! -_- I didn’t suffer several hours of cleaning up crappy layout and being snapped at for something not look straight for it not to be on there!!!
eh? Can you give an example of this “covert manipulation”? It’s usually pretty obvious.
Ooooh! Look! Steve Jobs invented a computer that uses this pointer thingy tethered to your computer! Apple is teh best!
Except…just Google “Xerox PARC”.
Or: VMWare brings an entirely-unthought-of-before concept to your server farm–run multiple OS images on one box!
Except…Google “IBM System/360 VM”.
