Re: YES

My question is not what is the “right” world view, but how do we know what is the right world view?

Of the many people representing different world views, I take a random pick of two prominent people: in the “caring” corner is Jeffrey Sachs and in the “libertarian” corner is Michael Shermer. The short version of these two conflicting views is that the one wants government to solve social problems and the other one wants a strong but very limited in scope government.

My hope is that we will be in a better position to know that if the living earth simulator of Dirk Helbing (www.futurict.eu) lives up to expectation.

Re: YES

In reply to this post by Nick Thompson

Since people are replying about the scrambled-word message....

<rant>
I will continue to stress that these "skills", while interesting, are the opposite of impressive. Under virtually any other circumstances, the ability to carefully discriminate things is considered a "higher" ability, a sign of more sophisticated achievement, and, in the extreme, a mysterious and nigh-magical ability to attend details others are not sensitive to. In contrast, in virtually any other circumstances, the inability to distinguish things is considered a sign of "lesser" skill.

For some odd reason though, when people send around these emails, it is asserted that our inability to distinguish a well-written word from a scrambled word demonstrates the magical and mysterious power of the Human Mind. It does not demonstrate mysterious skill, it demonstrates a (perhaps mysterious) lack of skill. The real mystery, if there is one, is why a person so well trained in reading would be fooled by such a simple manipulation. This might well be worth investigating, but for the same reasons that other types of optical illusions are worth investigating.

Re: YES

I thought that was interesting, since "beholds" took me the longest to figure out as well. It seems this is partly because the phrase "beholds with pain" is somewhat archaic and so the context was harder to see, which is largely how we sort out and make sense of the gibberish, it seems. When I figured out "beholds" I just used a basic resorting of letters methods to determine the word rather than reasoning by context. Even when I realized the word must be "beholds", I did a double take to make sense of the phrase.
