	Augean Stables » Cognitive Egocentrism
		One of the major architects of the Oslo catastrophe is back with more (slightly modified) liberal cognitive egocentrism for hope addicts.
		And so, wildly projecting our liberal cognitive egocentrism on the least unlikely candidate, we continue to pursue the Oslo logic that will be our doom.
		This is a nice illustration of the PCP cognitive egocentric projection of good faith onto the Palestinians, on the one hand, and the kind of deranged notion of balance that prevailed in the early period of the Oslo Intifada, on the other.

		The principles of egocentrism were first put forth in 1971 by me, in response to the obvious errors promulgated by history's three previous astronomical paradigms: heliocentrism, geocentrism, and lunocentrism.

	Soviet Psychology: Comments by Jean Piaget 1962
		The measurement of egocentric speech has shown that there are very great environmental and situational variations, so that contrary to my initial hopes we do not possess in these measures a valid gauge of intellectual egocentrism or even of verbal egocentrism.
		Second, he himself verified the facts in question, instead of suppressing them through the artifices of measuring; and his observations on the frequency of egocentric speech in children when their activity is blocked and on the decrease of such speech during the period when inner speech begins to form are of very great interest.
		In the third place, he proposed a new hypothesis: that egocentric speech is the point of departure for the development of inner speech, which is found at a later stage of development, and that this interiorized language can serve both autistic ends and logical thinking.

		The principles of egocentrism were first put forth in 1971 by me, in response to the obvious errors promulgated by history's three previous astronomical paradigms: heliocentrism, geocentrism, and lunocentrism.
		Egocentrism, being much simpler than heliocentrism, general relativity, and quantum cheddardynamics combined, has no need for vast numbers of epicycles, nor even mathematical formulae.
		Instead of elliptical orbits, objects that are not me tend to move in spirals (a prominent feature incorporated in many natural phenomeni such as sea shells, slinkies, and stock market projections), with the perfect circle being the special (degenerate) case, and me (needless to say) at the precise center.

		Adolescent egocentrism actually represents a flaw in their thinking that is characteristic of early formal operations.

		Egocentrism is subjective thinking in all its aspects, and it is a basic aspect of the human condition.

		The concept of egocentrism is fully compatible with Solopsism even though you feel that it's not.

		Fifty-three fourth-graders (33 males, 20 females) were administered measures of egocentrism and peer sociometric status, and indices of classroom adjustment were obtained from teachers.
		Degree of egocentrism was shown to correlate with classroom adjustment for both boys and girls and with peer group status for boys.
		The pattern of correlations suggested that the negative consequences of persistent egocentrism were different for the two sexes, with high egocentrism associated with shy, anxious behavior for girls and acting-out and learning difficulties for boys.

	The Blog \| David Horton: Collective Egocentrism Gone Mad \| The Huffington Post
		Instead of learning to live with other organisms and therefore maintain the diversity that is so critical to the survival of the world, there is a strong strand of human thinking that says that anything which causes the slightest problem or even a mild inconvenience, or just because someone wants to, must be removed.
		The problem has not been egocentrism, it's ignorance and that's basically the animal we are, pure and simple.
		Yes, "collective egocentrism" (which is the "I" of all the the self-concepts and family/tribe/abstracted group-identifications) devalues and often willingly detroys all that is "not-me", for either selfish utility or fearfully aggressive self-defensiveness.

		Understand the basis of egocentrism and recognize that overcoming the egocentrism prototypic of each stage leads the person to attain the cognitive development most central to that stage and that the cognitive attainment of one stage leads the person to the egocentrism of the next stage.
		Recognize that, across the formal operational stage, social thought becomes less egocentric and more responsive to societal conventions and the particular social audience or context to which it is directed.
		Recognize that it is through interaction with peers, elders, and, most importantly, with the assumption of adult roles and responsibilities, that the adolescent decenters and the egocentrism of this stage diminishes.
