- Why Public Denials May Only Fuel Conspiracy Theories By JOHN ALLEN PAULOS abcnews nov 2007
First the biases. Three Common Psychological Biases 1. The "availability heuristic" is the pronounced tendency of people to view any story through the lens of a superficially similar story that comes easily to mind or is psychologically available. For this reason, much of politics revolves around strengthening this tendency by keeping a preferred narrative uppermost in people's minds. It doesn't take too keen a political instinct, for example, to realize that some politicians' incessant invoking of 9/11 is an effort to keep it psychologically available, to help it color every aspect of the political agenda.

by 6 users - Obsidian Wings: Wiki THIS
Glenn Reynolds laments that he's been wiki'ed with a truly bizarre Wikipedia entry on Instapundit. "WIKIPEDIA, and its trustworthiness, has become a topic of considerable discussion," he writes. Indeed, it should be -- this whole Wiki-thang has been a bit Arthur 2 (i.e., "on the rocks") for a while. Eugene Volokh and Orin Kerr have been quite right in their criticisms (even though it seems that Volokh's Wikipedia entry is at least tentatively grounded in fact.) Moreover, adding to the confusion and potential for bias is the fact that you're able to write your own entry. The entry on LGF, for instance, was written by LGF's own Charles Johnson.

- Royal Academy of Arts Collection - Inspiration - British Art and Architecture - Anatomical Crucifixion (James Legg).
This gruesome figure was cast from the corpse of a murderer, taken straight from the gallows to be nailed to a cross and flayed in order to settle an artistic debate. Three Royal Academicians - the sculptor Thomas Banks and painters Sir Benjamin West and Richard Cosway - conducted this experiment to prove their belief that most depictions of the Crucifixion were anatomically incorrect. In 1801 the three artists approached the eminent surgeon, Joseph Constantine Carpue, for his help in finding a suitable subject. The only corpses available for dissection at this time were those of executed criminals but, on October 2nd, an opportunity arose when Carpue was called to Chelsea Hospital. One of the captains, named James Legg, had been arguing with a fellow pensi
- MathTrek Ancient Islamic Penrose Tiles By Julie J. Rehmeyer
When Peter J. Lu traveled to Uzbekistan, he had no idea of the mathematical journey that he was about to embark on as well. The Harvard graduate student in physics was fascinated by the beautiful and intricate geometric "girih" patterns on the 800-year-old buildings there, and he wanted to know how ancient artisans had created them. He discovered more than just a clever construction method. He also found an entirely unexpected level of mathematical sophistication in the designs, pointing at mathematical ideas that weren't formally developed until hundreds of years later. Lu's determination to find out took him on a journey through hundreds of photographs of Islamic architecture in the libraries at Harvard—and now it's landed him an article in Science.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you ever find yourself stranded in the wilderness for several months without food, you're going to have to figure out how to feed yourself. You can survive for at least a month with nothing but water, you will lose about 20 lbs. However, this is not a suggested fad diet, once you start eating again, you will probably put most of the weight back on. If you're well prepared and knowledgeable about the area, you should have no problem finding edible plants, but if you are near death, and can't otherwise positively identify a safe plant to eat, follow these guidelines to test for edibility.

- Skeptic: Bonobos, Left & Right Primate Politics Heats Up Again as Liberals & Conservatives Spindoctor Science by Frans de Waa
However, it is interesting that so many people wish to deny the undeniable relationship between humans and chimps, and at the same time cannot seem to help finding political meanings in primate behavior that supports either a liberal or conservative agenda. On so simple a question — how much sex and violence do chimpanzees and bonobos exhibit — rides so much political angst about human nature and culture. Fortunately the facts can help sort through the fiction, and Frans de Waal is just the scientist to be our guide.

by 15 users - the Tree of Life Web Project: Movies of Jumping Spider Courtship
Jumping spiders have excellent vision, and their intraspecific communication therefore has a heavy visual component. Males dance before females, displaying contrasting or brightly colored ornaments. Presumably this courtship dance is a basis by which females choose mates. One of the most diverse and elaborately-ornamented genera of jumping spiders is the genus Habronattus, occurring primarily in North America. If you want to find our more information about the genus Habronattus, go to its branch page in the Tree of Life. Here are some Quicktime movies of courtship dances of various species. The small squares in the grid on which the spiders are standing are 1 millimeter square. Touch on the picture of the spider to see the movie. If you want to see more pic

- Dream Anatomy: Gallery
The interior of our bodies is hidden to us. What happens beneath the skin is mysterious, fearful, amazing. In antiquity, the body's internal structure was the subject of speculation, fantasy, and some study, but there were few efforts to represent it in pictures. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century-and the cascade of print technologies that followed-helped to inspire a new spectacular science of anatomy, and new spectacular visions of the body. Anatomical imagery proliferated, detailed and informative but also whimsical, surreal, beautiful, and grotesque — a dream anatomy that reveals as much about the outer world as it does the inner self.<<medicine>>

Right after the fall of Baghdad, hundreds of desperate disbanded troops asked me -- a middle-aged journalist -- to give them jobs. That's when I knew everything was going terribly wrong. When people ask me what went so wrong in Iraq, as they frequently do after learning that I reported from there early in the war, I offer a glib reply: "Let me tell you about the day I almost led the Iraqi army." Then I commence my very strange story, one that never fails to amuse, bewilder and ultimately dishearten anyone who has ever wondered why combat that was supposed to end on May 1, 2003 -- you know, "Mission Accomplis

He had been working in politics since 1959, eventually serving as minister of agriculture under Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, but he had left his post in 1964 when Ben-Gurion fell out with the new prime minister, Levi Eshkol. He had been casting about for a new project.

- Against Intellectual Monopoly (boldrin & levine)
It is common to argue that intellectual property in the form of copyright and patent is necessary for the innovation and creation of ideas and inventions such as machines, drugs, computer software, books, music, literature and movies. In fact intellectual property is not like ordinary property at all, but constitutes a government grant of a costly and dangerous private monopoly over ideas. We show through theory and example that intellectual monopoly is not neccesary for innovation and as a practical matter is damaging to growth, prosperity and liberty.

- Armoured cats & mice
Q. Where did you get the idea to build armour for cats and mice?At the time that I made my first armour mouse and cat, by 1985 I had completed seven full suits of armour for people.I had been studying the history of armour for many years and had an extensive collection of books on the subject. At ...morethe same time, I was just in my second year at the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD), majoring in the jewellery design program. In truth, I made a suit of armour for a cat first. I did it as a project for a sculpture class. It turns out that my tendency for exploring opposites came into play at this point.
Note: I felt that as a sculpture, the cat armour was great, but I wondered what it would look like if I could have made it with the kind of materials that wou - Charlie's Diary (antipope): The High Frontier, Redux

I first entered the aviation industry in 1983 when I joined British Airways as Cabin Crew. During my induction course, I was taught safety drills and procedures and basic surival principles, subjects which were refreshed annually thereafter.

In all that time, on all those aircraft, I never had anything even remotely approaching an emergency - but I was always prepared, just in case!

- Out of Africa human origins: Genetic Map
The Bradshaw Foundation, in association with Stephen Oppenheimer, presents a virtual global journey of modern man over the last 160,000 years. The map will show for the first time the interaction of migration and climate over this period. We are the descendants of a few small groups of tropical Africans who united in the face of adversity, not only to the point of survival but to the development of a sophisticated social interaction and culture expressed through many forms. Based on a synthesis of the mtDNA and Y chromosome evidence with archaeology, climatology and fossil study, Stephen Oppenheimer has tracked the routes and timing of migration, placing it in context with ancient rock art around the world.
Journey of Mankind - The Peopling of the World. Who were our ancestors? From where did we originate? If we came out of Africa, what factors governed our routes? And when? Now finally this interactive genetic map reveals modern humans journey of opportunity and survival, confirmed by genetic science and documented by ancient rock art.

- 26 Reasons What You Think is Right is Wrong
A cognitive bias is something that our minds commonly do to distort our own view of reality. Here are the 26 most studied and widely accepted cognitive biases. 1. Bandwagon effect - the tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. Related to groupthink, herd behaviour, and manias. Carl Jung pioneered the idea of the collective unconscious which is considered by Jungian psychologists to be responsible for this cognitive bias. 2. Bias blind spot - the tendency not to compensate for one’s own cognitive biases. 3. Choice-supportive bias - the tendency to remember one’s choices as better than they actually were.

- LiveLeak.com: Gravity Wave [8 seconds]
Time-Lapse of gravity wave action from the Tama, Iowa KCCI-TV webcam on 6 May 2007 A gravity wave is a vertical wave. The best example I can think of in describing what a gravity wave looks like is to think of a rock being thrown into a pond. Ripples or circles migrate from the point the rock hits the water. An up and down motion is created. With increasing distance from the point where the rock hit the water, the waves becomes less defined (the waves are dampening). Now let's look at what a gravity wave is in the atmosphere. To start a gravity wave, a TRIGGER mechanism must cause the air to be displaced in the vertical.

by 26 users - The Strategic Studies Institute: Fourth-Generation War and Other Myths
In brief, the theory holds that warfare has evolved through four generations: 1) the use of massed manpower, 2) firepower, 3) maneuver, and now 4) an evolved form of insurgency that employs all available networks—political, economic, social, military—to convince an opponent's decision makers that their strategic goals are either unachievable or too costly. Further, the theory contends that this last form characterizes the terrorists' way of fighting today. Despite reinventing itself several times, the theory has several fundamental flaws that need to be exposed before it influences U.S. operational and strategic thinking

- Dark Roasted Blend: Fantastic Art by Tomasz Maronski
Tomasz Maronski paints fascinating forms, which seem to originate from some smoky subconscious realm, then morph into entirely different kingdoms and realities and surround the viewer with the sultry and somewhat dangerous ambiance. They remind me of some "Pan's Labyrinth" movie concept art. See for yourself. With the artist's personal permission, here are some of the highlights of his exceptional work <<giger>>
- Dark Roasted : American Supersonic Airliners: Race for a Dream
It all started in 1952 with small-scale studies of SST designs by Boeing, but things heated up significantly when in 1962 the governments of Britain and France decided to join efforts in the creation of a supersonic "Concorde" airplane. The intrepid Russians also came up with the Tu-144 (no less capable, but plagued by accidents). The American government nearly panicked and responded with its own program SCAT (Supersonic Commercial Air Transport) in 1963, which got endorsement from President Kennedy himself. The race for dominating supersonic airways was on. (At that time it was believed that all future commercial aircraft would be supersonic). The goal was to produce a commercial aircraft capable of carrying 250 passengers (twice as many as the Concorde) a

In 1961, the name of Marshall McLuhan was unknown to everyone but his English students at the University of Toronto--and a coterie of academic admirers who followed his abstruse articles in small-circulation quarterlies. But then came two remarkable books-- "The Gutenberg Galaxy" (1962) and "Understanding Media" (1964)--and the graying professor from Canada's western hinterlands soon found himself characterized by the San Francisco Chronicle as "the hottest academic property around." He has since won a world-wide following for his brilliant--and frequently baffling--theories about the impact of the media on man; and his name has entered the French language as mucluhanisme, a synonym for the world of pop culture.
