There could be snakes in here. Has written an ad campaign based, apparently, on famous. Destructive holes in human reason. Of course it makes perfect sense for gambling companies to glorify bad reasoning, but that fact made it no less surprising to see on the street. What have we here? The fundamental attribution error. The introspection illusion, and, Dunning-Kruger. Illusory superiority; overconfidence in weak inductions. Chuck Klosterman points out. The question is "When we tell people what this produ...

There could be snakes in here. Been reading, Q3 2014. To say that love is what motivates most of us who are neither complete bastards nor distracted by secondary concerns such as “what other people will think” – to say this is not to say anything very neat or tidy. But that too is as it should be. Why not write down what you’ve been reading? 4/5: Got to me. 4*/5: Amazing but just once, probably. 5: First time, potential vade mecum.

There could be snakes in here. Been reading, Q3 2013. C) Denis Frémond "Rue des Boutiques Obscure". Next, James Kelman. Kelman’s what I call a liberationist. A beautiful and extreme sociologised Leftist focussing on society’s failures, exclusions and legal crimes, who demands much of themselves and everyone else (but who does so via a terrible error: reducing the world whole to politics). Isn’t this exactly the attitude a dominant system trying to perpetuate itself would spread? Kelman and Gray agree tha...

The birth of information theory came with a ruthless sacrifice of meaning: forget human psychology; abandon subjectivity… But who could love a theory giving false statements as much value as true statements? It was mechanical. It was dessicated… Has that hellish world, full of information and devoid of grace, arrived? That is not the world I see. The fact remains: a book’s content is very l...
