When you see how our visual system works with so much heuristics and hacks the surprising part is that we are able to get things right the major part of the time. http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/ http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/ But that is not so scary as when you realize that the rest of things, like how we reason, have the same kind of weird hacks and hacky solutions fine tuned to live in Africa 250,000 years ago. So humans can design a super-complex computer but fail to stop eating from an open bag of chips after deciding that it was the last one. :)
