Sentiment Analysis by Havanaparasocialclub
Added 2024-11-18 02:07:04 +0000 UTCKind listener Havanaparasocialclub did a back-of-the-envelop sentiment analysis on some Decoding content. Some of you will have seen them in the chat channel but we felt they deserved a broader audience. And before you offer hot takes on conversation dominance remember Chris needs to introduce and contextualise all the clips!

This is fascinating. Thank you so much for doing this.

2024-11-22 19:02:52 +0000 UTCThe fascinating thing for me is the consistency across different gurus. It seems to say more about Matt and Chris’s character than it does about their view of each guru. I wouldn’t have predicted that.

2024-11-21 11:41:21 +0000 UTCI’d like an analysis like this on Sam Harris.

2024-11-18 16:52:14 +0000 UTCDon't let Sean Carroll see how much contempt Chris has for him!

2024-11-18 13:28:03 +0000 UTCThanks for explaining that. I was curious as to why.

2024-11-18 13:08:49 +0000 UTCOkay, 15% is pretty low for Chris. It's mostly when he goes off on a tangent about someone he really hates

2024-11-18 11:46:09 +0000 UTCI'll see if I can find a segment
Jack
2024-11-18 11:18:16 +0000 UTCSegment speakers, analyse by no more than 10 second chunks, ignore chunks less than 0.5 seconds, pick the most likely emotion, I don't sum all detected, it's too noisy.
Jack
2024-11-18 11:17:47 +0000 UTCThere are whole sections of Matt and Chris being surprised and jokingly annoyed at each other. At times they communicate in what are approaching grunts.

2024-11-18 11:13:55 +0000 UTCNice! What did you use to do this @havanaparasocialclub?

2024-11-18 10:19:53 +0000 UTCInteresting work! Ignoring affect in the moment, emotional response is about the gap between prediction or expectation and experienced reality. I really liked Feldman-Barrett’s work on this. I guess the valence and intensity of these emotional responses depends on quite a matrix of factors! Did you find that there were times when the emotional response was either really strong or even indeterminate - e.g. a guru causing disbelief at one end or confusion at the other?

2024-11-18 09:19:43 +0000 UTCIt’s very interesting. Quantitative research showed that Chris is more happy person than Matt and my world is shattered

2024-11-18 07:16:39 +0000 UTCHow did you assign emotions?

2024-11-18 07:12:56 +0000 UTCThis is great. I don’t remember Brené Brown prompting such contempt in Chris… maybe he needs to rest in the tender vulnerability of courageous self acceptance more until he gets her.

2024-11-18 06:14:43 +0000 UTCYou'll notice Chris is showing a lot of contempt in the Sean Carroll episode but they both like Sean. It's because they're comparining him to known idiots.
Jack
2024-11-18 03:38:14 +0000 UTCLaughing at their expense, it's like shooting fish in a barrel in this instance
Jack
2024-11-18 03:34:07 +0000 UTCWait, Red Scare makes Matt happy?
Ema Corro
2024-11-18 03:28:03 +0000 UTCSaid, the model kept assigning Matt to the intro music by a non insignficant margin *shrug*
Jack
2024-11-18 03:14:35 +0000 UTCI did this because I was stuck on something else. However, I'm going to do something with the idea beyond a little curiosity\banter when I get back from a trip.
Jack
2024-11-18 02:55:03 +0000 UTCSome notes here: * You should not read this as a summary of Chris and Matts underlying real world personalities. In /my/ real life I do my best to play devils advocate and steel man people, that /does not/ mean that if I were having a conversation about Elon Musk I would not show the same level of contempt as Chris and Matt. * This is a podcast and I would guess to some extend they're playing characters. * There are cultural differences with respect to how someone from Northern Island and Australia express themselves. This would be much more comparable if they were both from the same country. * I made a joke about Chris dominating the conversation, this isn't actually true. He has to introduce the topics and keep it on track, otherwise it would just be two friends catching up or they would have to pay Editor Andy a thousand dollars an episode to make it listenable.
Jack
2024-11-18 02:52:54 +0000 UTCI thought I liked hearing Matt's voice more. Now I realize it was just the scarcity heuristic.
