Psychology, statistics, and trade-offs. Sunday, February 13, 2011. In Praise Of The Obvious. Ryan Holiday recently wrote a post. Encouraging us, in a roundabout way, to seek the counter-intuitive. On the contrary, I think the counter-intuitive is overrated. Consider:. It is very difficult. To find an RSS feed that only lists the basic, most important findings from any particular field, even though this would be the most useful to an outsider.

The Mentaculus: No Darkness But Ignorance
http://andymckenzie.blogspot.com/2012/05/no-darkness-but-ignorance.html
Psychology, statistics, and trade-offs. Sunday, May 27, 2012. No Darkness But Ignorance. Here's Nancy Kanwisher's suggestion. On how to improve the field of neuroimaging:.

He mentions this tidbit:. In science, there are often norms against sharing too much of your project with outsiders, to prevent it from being " scooped. It strikes me now that these norms serve the dual purpose of preventing you from taking mental credit for something that you haven't yet done the grunt work to accomplish.

http://andymckenzie.blogspot.com/2012/10/magic-is-measurable.html

She recently died in a bike accident. The whole poem Matthew was referencing is nice. Whatever magic is,. It's in the metronomic dance of cogs. In your watch,. In the gallop of your hands. Metamorphosis into cake,. In the zygote's slow unfurl. It's in the understanding that flowers. In the two cerebellums. Of the two people who speak.
