Pavel Blonsky

Pavel Petrovich Blonsky (1884–1941) was a Soviet psychologist who lived in the Ukraine until 1918. He introduced the behaviorist approach in Russian psychology (under the label "objective Marxist psychology"). During the 1930s he was severely criticized for his adherence to psychological testing and studies of inborn capabilities (which contradicted to the official Soviet ideology of "inborn equality of all people"). Blonsky's search for a new psychology began with the condemnation of philosophical idealism that he - the specialist in Plato and neo-Platonism - now considered to be clearly irreconcilable with "normal common sense".

gollark: And if you've written the JSON database thing in the way everyone does it, it is opening the file, writing whatever array is in memory to that file, and closing it.
gollark: They create a temporary file, write their buffer to that, and then move the temporary file over the original, so that if they get interrupted in the middle of writing there's less chance of data loss.
gollark: Nope. No good text editor actually works like that.
gollark: I'm inferring.
gollark: Unless you've written more code than I assumed, it isn't actually doing that, it's rewriting the file with the entire array each time.
