El Gentraso: July 2011
http://gentraso.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 14, 2011. In this week's Science about how people outsourcie their memories to Google made me think of a piece I wrote for the FT weekend magazine some years back looking at the same idea - that mental skills fall out of use just as material technologies do. That was occasioned by the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Scottish mathematician Edward Sang. Who, working with his daughters,. In Historia Mathematica.). Logarithms turn complex multiplication into simple addition. For exam...
El Gentraso: Eric B and Rakim explain social learning
http://gentraso.blogspot.com/2011/11/eric-b-and-rakim-explain-social.html
Monday, November 07, 2011. Eric B and Rakim explain social learning. OK, People Will Talk. Is creeping onto the shelves (and whatever the electronic equivalent. Of a shelf is) and we can begin the task of examining the book's themes through the medium of golden-age hiphop. What a fantastic record. Video hasn't aged so well, though, has it?

El Gentraso: The Mike Leigh mark-recapture experiment II
http://gentraso.blogspot.com/2008/01/mike-leigh-mark-recapture-experiment-ii.html
Tuesday, January 22, 2008. The Mike Leigh mark-recapture experiment II. The discovery of Neptune. Gauss's calculations of the orbits of asteroids. The 1919 solar eclipse. That caught light bending. Science is filled with masterly predictions, triumphantly confirmed. Add a new one to the list. In Sept 2006, I wrote. In a quite poorly punctuated post, of my repeat sightings of film director Mike Leigh. If you're reading this, Mr Leigh, I'll see you in 2008. Well, we were in the NFT. I am a London-based sci...
El Gentraso: February 2011

Tuesday, February 01, 2011. Let's just give up and put Goldman Sachs in charge of everything. The back page of today's Guardian carries a full-page advert calling for a UK green investment bank, to invest in low carbon technology, etc. An organization called Transform UK. Says it's behind the campaign, and the ad carries the endorsement of 53 organizations of all stripes, including Microsoft, Bank of America/Merril Lynch, the RSPB, TUC, and so on.

El Gentraso: Steering clear of the magic kingdom
http://gentraso.blogspot.com/2011/11/steering-clear-of-magic-kingdom.html
Monday, November 14, 2011. Steering clear of the magic kingdom. In his stylish and thought-provoking book Frozen Desire. An Enquiry into the Meaning of Money, James Buchan. Argues that one of money's defining properties is that it robs things of their essences by making them comparable. Similarly, one feature of social media is that, by making our social lives quantifiable in a way they weren't before, they make them more like money. One can count one's twitter followers and facebook friends, compare...
El Gentraso: Extinction and taxes
http://gentraso.blogspot.com/2011/09/extinction-and-taxes.html
Wednesday, September 28, 2011. There's not actually very much evolution in Robert Frank. S The Darwin Economy. I've got a piece. Frank makes the point that an arms race and a tragedy of the commons are the same thing. Everyone is better off if everyone shows restraint, but any individual is better off if he or she alone cheats. So the rational thing to do is cheat, and everyone ends up worse off. This is a connection that biologists have only just begun to make. In particular, Hanna Kokko. It's this conn...

http://gentraso.blogspot.com/2011/11/itetem-ta-humgopakaltogether-now.html
Wednesday, November 09, 2011. Itetem ta humgopak.Altogether now! If you read the paper. On musical diversity within and between cultures in todays Proc R Soc, you will search in vain for any idea of what the music actually sounds like. So I had a google. And then I had a totally unrigorous ponder on what I found (I also looked in vain for any proper coverage of this work). Tom Rzeszutek and his colleagues. Here's a snippet of a rather nice Paiwan love song. Sounds pretty similar to me. And what does the ...
El Gentraso: June 2011

Tuesday, June 28, 2011. The biology and economics of home advantage. Every few years, the Fotherington-Thomases at the London Review of Books. A break from writing about the sorry state of British political life, and let him indulge an apparent obsession with José Mourinho. In the current issue, where he reviews. By Tobias Moskowitz and Jon Wertheim, Runcimann uses the astonishing record of Mourinho’s teams – he went nine years. He’s no faith, for example, in the benefits of local knowledge:. There is pl...

The challenge of conversations in conservation: Social Media a breeding ground for trolls and bad behaviour. October 13, 2016. So why am I writing this post? So, here is a small sample of comments I have recently received (very much edited to remove the venom) and a few of my thoughts. We are to blame! Until you manage human population growth we should do nothing. All animals are amazing, including cats and foxes, and you should not “manage” these wonderful.
