I'm wondering what stopped this development... Technical issues or financial/environmental? What strikes me is the organic-like structure and functioning of this idea. Which I believe is where things need to go to avoid boring st

When you are smart, trivial things, like making "good" or rational choices are simply boring. This boredom naturally increases with the number of trivial things. When confronted to boredom, intelligent people will generally choose

As a psychologist, I can tell you that with only one card out of ten for the whole test, Goering shows signs of being a plain psychopath (knowing what he did of course) while Hesse does have very serious psychological issues (even if I didn

That's the very interesting border between numbers as abstractions of quantities and numbers as element of a set (N, Z, R, C etc. The question of 0 is particularly puzzling to me.

That's because you don't need movement to stabilize your thinking and that expense of glucose depletes your resources. My experience is that ADHD kids need some sensori-motor input to help them reach their cognitive baseline. Howe

I take it as the expression of a permanent quest for logic just hung up in the air "so" someone, including myself possibly picks it up. The meaning seems to be more "so that" than "that said, how's your day bee

This is seriously cute! And by the way, asking questions is also an excellent way, I would even say the best, to learn yourself while you are teaching, or thinking you are. At bottom, knowledge is somewhere between the teacher and the stude

There are just as many (and few) conscious people in any country on the planet. Thinking otherwise is inaccurate and also reinforces and in fact validates the efforts of local powers to rally a larger part of their subjects in defence of a

One factor seems missing: the deviation of Han's skills from that of the average pilot. Does C3PO take it into account in his likelihood? Do we take it into account in our probability of success? Although I do get the point, it seems t

I'm not sure what the applications/market for this is or could be, but I love the idea. Everything that goes "micro" I love dearly.

My problem was and remains the quasi-exclusion of syntax in the theory. I do believe (and that’s in fact the very only belief I hold) in deep-structure and in generative grammar. This is not to say that associative learning is wrong but tha

There is not a single day that passes that I don't thank, silently and sometimes not, Linux and the distros it spawned (regardless of my own preferences). It must be clear by now that Linux OSs have recaptured and prolonged the spirit

I went through 18 years of study in France, without having to answer a single MCQ or item. Such developments are just a logical consequence of the reliance on statistical methods to assess knowledge. As to the violation of privacy...

This also seems to be a child of a wider process by which losses tend to be socialized and profits tend to be privatized. Apparently, the system "works" because nearly all the wealth of the planet is in the hands of something like

Being late in the discussion, I wondered how many times in the thread the word "unconscious" had been used. Well, it came back as "zero". This, I think, reflects what happened to psychology/psychiatry over the past,

My answer is "no". Just because the initial pruning has to quickly find a balance between efficiency, speed and reliability vs. width, breadth of input/processing of new data. The 15,000 synapses/neuron that we have grow

This can also be seen as an expression of this fascinating "chirality" problem, whereby things, from living things to particles seem to prefer one direction over the other. Right, dextro-, or clock-wise: most sea-shells, most plan

The title is wrong because it can be both and much more. When will we stop using titles as hooks?

From a novel I read recently: "Bob was American and called himself a former American, although such a thing would never happen. He had the fist-line friendliness typical of this culture, or lack thereof, and the particular and very irr

If I were to seek advice from an era and a place that sure wouldn't be America (or England) in the 1800s. Tell me about the France of Rabelais or Villon, the Italy of Machiavelli, even the plague-ridden London of Shakespeare, the China

And unlike hard- and software, such a broken system can last a very long time. There's an old French joke about "polytehcnician" (i.e graduate from Polytechnique, a top-level post graduate institution). What's the differ
