My Thoughts: Myopia

http://rcjames14.blogspot.com/2014/01/myopia.html

Authorities to Determine if Remains Are of California Fugitive. Officials will begin forensic tests to determine if charred human remains in a burned-out cabin are those of Christopher J. Dorner. Not to be outdone by the federal government, California's police departments apparently demonstrated yesterday that they too can orchestrate a firey end to an armed confrontation where the dwelling is surrounded and the occupants have no escape.

Heuristics are not propagated like genes. They are not passed on or transferred in a self-consistent form. Nor do they transmit from one mind to another through deliberate acts of communication. Instead, they emerge in each mind sui generis as the idiosyncratic structure of each mind interacts with a panoply of environmental queues. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
