Aus dem Album: Science-TheOnlyNews Überschrift:StewartBrand @ edge.org Description: The same old, boring, disenchanted cycle. "Science is the only news. When you scan through a newspaper or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same sorry cyclic dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness, and even the technology is predictable if you know the science. Human nature doesn't change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly." We now live in a world in which the rate of change is the biggest change. Science has thus become a big story." 3rd culture, edge.org GOTO Fundamental GOTO FundamentalNature GOTO FundamentalDifferent GOTO NoMorePunchAndJudyShows |

Aus dem Album: Science-TheOnlyNews Überschrift:FreemanDyson @ edge.org Description: HERETICAL THOUGHTS ABOUT SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. "The public does not have much use for a scientist who says, “Sorry, but we don’t know”. The public prefers to listen to scientists who give confident answers to questions and make confident predictions of what will happen as a result of human activities. So it happens that the experts who talk publicly about politically contentious questions tend to speak more clearly than they think. They make confident predictions about the future, and end up believing their own predictions. Their predictions become dogmas which they do not question. The public is led to believe that the fashionable scientific dogmas are true, and it may sometimes happen that they are wrong. That is why heretics who question the dogmas are needed. As a scientist I do not have much faith in predictions. Science is organized unpredictability. The best scientists like to arrange things in an experiment to be as unpredictable as possible, and then they do the experiment to see what will happen. You might say that if something is predictable then it is not science.... The prevailing dogmas may be right, but they still need to be challenged. I am proud to be a heretic. The world always needs heretics to challenge the prevailing orthodoxies. Since I am heretic, I am accustomed to being in the minority. If I could persuade everyone to agree with me, I would not be a heretic. We are lucky that we can be heretics today without any danger of being burned at the stake. But unfortunately I am an old heretic. Old heretics do not cut much ice. When you hear an old heretic talking, you can always say, “Too bad he has lost his marbles”, and pass on. What the world needs is young heretics. I am hoping that one or two of the people who read this piece may fill that role" http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/dysonf07/dysonf07_index.html GOTO AccountingValuesByExperience |

"A 1950s education in Freud, Marx, and modernism is not a sufficient qualification for a thinking person in the 1990s. Indeed, the traditional American intellectuals are, in a sense, increasingly reactionary, and quite often proudly (and perversely) ignorant of many of the truly significant intellectual accomplishments of our time. Their culture, which dismisses science, is often nonempirical. It uses its own jargon and washes its own laundry. It is chiefly characterized by comment on comments, the swelling spiral of commentary eventually reaching the point where the real world gets lost. Given the well-documented challenges and issues we are facing as a nation, as a culture, how can it be that there are no science books (and hardly any books on ideas) on the New York Times 100 Notable Books of the Year list(2007)", http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge231.html GOTO DoltQualification |

Such arguments fail to meet the normal standards of scientific evidence.... Males are promiscuous and females coy. We treat our relatives better than we do other people... Although I have been highly critical of evolutionary psychology, I have not done so from political motives, nor do I think that the discipline is in principle misguided. Rather, I have been critical because evolutionary psychologists seem unwilling to draw lines between what can be taken as demonstrated and what remains speculative, making the discipline more of a faith than a science... I am afraid to see myself and my fellow humans as mere marionettes dancing on genetic strings. I would like to think that we have immense freedom to better ourselves as individuals and to create a just and egalitarian society... some claims of evolutionary psychology give us convenient but dangerous excuses for behaviors that seem unacceptable", dangerous idea, edge.org GOTO MereMarionettes GOTO ModernApeInBusinessSuite GOTO EasyExcuse GOTO UnacceptableEfficiency GOTO ScientificBellumOmnium |

Science is not particularly well-suited to deal with people's existential anxieties, including death, deception, sudden catastrophe, loneliness or longing for love or justice.

There is now strong and consistent evidence (from fields such as microeconomics, experimental economics, psychology, sociolology and primatology) that it doesn't really matter how much you earn, as long as you earn more than your wife's sister's husband... It seems to imply that equality will never become possible in human societies: The driving force is always to get ahead of the rest...

Two really interesting things. Back to dopamine and the tyrosine hydroxylase gene that Toxo somehow ripped off from mammals, which allows it to make more dopamine. Dopamine levels are too high in schizophrenia. That's the leading suggestion of what schizophrenia is about neurochemically. You take Toxo-infected rodents and their brains have elevated levels of dopamine. Final deal is, and this came from Webster's group, you take a rat who's been Toxo-infected and is now at the state where it would find cat urine to be attractive, and you give it drugs that block dopamine receptors, the drugs that are used to treat schizophrenics, and it stops being attracted to the cat urine.

"I think, really, the biggest question is, are we going to rely on our intuitions, on our instincts, on our taste receptors? Or are we going to do something else? Now, some people might deny that there really is a "something else" that we can do. I disagree. I think that we can... The automatic settings give you efficiency. Point and shoot. And most of the time, it's going to work pretty well. The manual mode is not very efficient. You have to sit there and fiddle with it yourself. You have to know what you're doing. You can make mistakes. But, in principle, you can do anything with it. It allows you to tackle new kinds of problems... A memory experiment. Some of them were told to remember a short little number. Some of them were told to remember a longer number. The longer number imposes what we call a "cognitive load." Keeps the manual mode busy. And then they said, "Go down the hall to the other room, and by the way, there are snacks for you." And some of these snacks are yummy chocolate cake ... they didn't tell them this up front ... others are fruit salad. "Pick one..." And, what they predicted, and what they found, is that, when people had the higher cognitive load, when the manual mode was kept busy, they were more likely to choose the chocolate cake, especially if they described themselves as being on a diet or looking to watch their weight" http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge324.html GOTO MentaleDiabetes GOTO CognitiveLoad GOTO Sofortbelohnung GOTO PaybackEntscheidung GOTO DreisatzEntscheidung GOTO Multitasking GOTO BalancedRationalDecisionMaking GOTO Unendlichkeits-Illusion GOTO Pareto-Mistake-Auto-Pilot-Modus GOTO ErschöpfenderDenk-Apparat GOTO GeizhalsSparModus-OhneZutun GOTO WahrnehmungEingespart |

Aus dem Album: Science-TheOnlyNews Überschrift:DavidPizarro @ edge.org Description: Disgust. "We have demonstrated that moral reasoning can be influenced by motivations that may have nothing to do with moral concerns. Disgust has been keeping us particularly busy, as it has been implicated by many as an emotion that plays a large role in many moral judgments. In our lab, we have shown that an increased tendency to experience disgust (as measured using the Disgust Sensitivity Scale, developed by Jon Haidt and colleagues), is related to political orientation. We have shown that even for people who may not be willing (or aware) of their attitudes toward homosexuality, the degree of disgust sensitivity predicts so-called "implicit" attitudes toward homosexuality. Finally, in ongoing work we have shown that manipulating disgust with a noxious odor leads to greater antipathy "toward gays and lesbians", but does not shift attitudes that might be associated with liberal or conservative beliefs. I also have a general interest in the influence of emotional states on thinking and deciding. I am particularly interested in specific emotions (anger, disgust, fear, etc.), and on "visceral" affective states (e.g., thirst, hunger, sexual arousal) and their impact on how we process information, how we remember events, and how these emotions impact our moral judgments" http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/morality10/morality10_index.html#pizzaro GOTO Stubborn GOTO StubbornResistant GOTO CommonHabits GOTO FreieEntscheidung GOTO BilanzierungImmateriellerFaktoren |

Früher haben Maschinen die Arbeit automatisiert, heute automatisieren Maschinen die Produktion von Informationen, die Aufmerksamkeit binden und uns die Zeit nehmen. Die stillen Phasen im Alltag sind verschwunden. Heute gilt jede Minute, die wir nicht beschäftigt sind, als verschwendet. Das beeinflußt das Denken und führt zu etwas, was ich mentale Diabetes nenne.

"Und einmal angenommen, wir wenden die Spieltheorie auf philosophische Fragen an, wieso sollten dann nicht auch gelegentlich Argumente auftauchen, die schon von Sozialisten oder Neoliberalen benutzt wurden? Wird ein Argument dadurch falsch, dass es schon einmal von irgendwem benutzt wurde, den man nicht mag? Oder dessen Schlussfolgerung aus diesem Argument man für falsch hält? Ich halte es für wichtig, dass Wissenschaftler sich nicht hinter abstrakten Formalien verstecken, sondern auch zu Belangen des täglichen Lebens eine klare Position beziehen. Daher werden Sie von mir klare Stellungnahmen finden, und einige werden Ihnen die Haare zu Berge stehen lassen. Das heißt aber noch lange nicht, dass alles Unfug ist, was ich hier schreibe. Denn oftmals glaubt jeder irgendeine Wahrheit zu kennen und hat sich noch nie die Gegenargumente klargemacht. Bei scheinbar eindeutigen Fragen einmal hinter die Kulissen zu sehen und auch erstaunliche Antworten zu akzeptieren - auch das ist die Aufgabe dieser Seite. Glaube heißt, nicht hinterfragen zu dürfen, denn Zweifel ist Häresie. Wissenschaft heißt, hinterfragen und zweifeln zu müssen" GOTO Spiel-TheorieInDerPraxis GOTO HaveALook GOTO EDGE.ORG |

Aus dem Album: VictimsOfGroupThink Überschrift:FreemanDyson @ edge.org Description: HERETICAL THOUGHTS ABOUT SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. "The public does not have much use for a scientist who says, “Sorry, but we don’t know”. The public prefers to listen to scientists who give confident answers to questions and make confident predictions of what will happen as a result of human activities. So it happens that the experts who talk publicly about politically contentious questions tend to speak more clearly than they think. They make confident predictions about the future, and end up believing their own predictions. Their predictions become dogmas which they do not question. The public is led to believe that the fashionable scientific dogmas are true, and it may sometimes happen that they are wrong. That is why heretics who question the dogmas are needed. As a scientist I do not have much faith in predictions. Science is organized unpredictability. The best scientists like to arrange things in an experiment to be as unpredictable as possible, and then they do the experiment to see what will happen. You might say that if something is predictable then it is not science.... The prevailing dogmas may be right, but they still need to be challenged. I am proud to be a heretic. The world always needs heretics to challenge the prevailing orthodoxies. Since I am heretic, I am accustomed to being in the minority. If I could persuade everyone to agree with me, I would not be a heretic. We are lucky that we can be heretics today without any danger of being burned at the stake. But unfortunately I am an old heretic. Old heretics do not cut much ice. When you hear an old heretic talking, you can always say, “Too bad he has lost his marbles”, and pass on. What the world needs is young heretics. I am hoping that one or two of the people who read this piece may fill that role" http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/dysonf07/dysonf07_index.html GOTO AccountingValuesByExperience |

Aus dem Album: VictimsOfGroupThink Überschrift:RandolphMNesse @ edge.org Description: The Usually Failing Innovators. I am not advocating for irrationality or extreme emotionality. Many, perhaps even most problems of individuals and groups arise from actions based on passion. The Greek initiators and Enlightenment implementers recognized correctly that the world would be better off if reason displaced superstition and crude emotion. .. I am arguing, however, that if we want to understand these tendencies we need to quit dismissing them as defects and start considering how they came to exist... I came to this belief from seeing psychiatric patients while studying game theory and evolutionary biology... It is harder to explain the disadvantages suffered by people who lack a capacity for faith, but consider the outcomes for those who wait for proof before acting, compared to the those who act on confident conviction. The great things in life are done by people who go ahead when it seems senseless to others. Usually they fail, but sometimes they succeed. Die Gewöhnlich Scheiternden Innovatoren. "Ich trete weder für Irrationalität noch für extreme Emotionalität ein. Viele, vielleicht sogar die meisten Probleme, mit denen Einzelne und Gruppen zu kämpfen haben, erwachsen aus Taten infolge ungezügleter Leidenschaften. Die Denker der griechischen Antike und ihre Nachfolger in der Aufklärung haben richtig erkannt, dass es die Welt verbessern würde, wenn man den Aberglaube durch Vernunft ersetzen könnte.... Vielmehr argumentiere ich, dass wir, um diese Tendenzen zu verstehen, sie nicht länger als Mängel abtun dürfen, sondern anfangen müssen zu untersuchen, weshalb sie aufkamen. Zu dieser Überzeugung haben mich die Spieltheorie und die Evolutionsbiologie...gebracht... Um sich die Nachteile des Unglaubens vor Augen zu führen, vergleiche man den Erfolg derer, die nur auf Grundlage gesicherter Beweise handeln, mit dem jener, die sich zuversichtlich auf ihre Überzeugungen verlassen.

"I believe, first, that all people have the same fundamental concepts, values, concerns, and commitments, despite our diverse languages, religions, social practices, and expressed beliefs... Second, one of our shared core systems centers on a notion that is false: the notion that members of different human groups differ profoundly in their concepts and values. This notion leads us to interpret the superficial differences between people as signs of deeper differences. It has quite a grip on us: Many people would lay down their lives for perfect strangers from their own community, while looking with suspicion at members of other communities. And all of us are apt to feel a special pull toward those who speak our language and share our ethnic background... Our species is caught in a race between the progress of our science and the escalation both of our intergroup conflicts and of the destructive means to pursue them", edge.org/q2005/q05_7.html vgl.

F. Skinner als frevlerischer Zweifel am freien Willen und am Geist des Menschen – ein Zweifel, der zudem noch die Mittel zur Manipulation liefert. Ähnlich versucht die Verhaltensökonomie zu beweisen, dass der Mensch keineswegs jener Homo oeconomicus ist. Die Verhaltensökonomie aber führt den wissenschaftlichen Beweis ins Feld und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass es keineswegs die Vernunft ist, die den Homo oeconomicus leitet, sondern dass es die Triebe sind. Schon einfache Veränderungen der Umwelt reichen aus, um die Reaktionen des wirtschaftlich handelnden Menschen zu beeinflussen. So genügte es beispielsweise während eines Experiments von Richard Thaler, dass während des Ausfüllens eines Fragebogens in einer Ecke des Raums ein Computer aufgestellt war, dessen Bildschirmschoner Geldbündel zeigte: Schon waren die Probanden eher bereit, ein finanzielles Risiko einzugehen, wenn es mit dem Versprechen großer Gewinne verbunden war", SZ, 11.11.08 GOTO DerFrevelDerUnvernunft GOTO DieLokalSchlau-Einsicht GOTO DieDiskrepanzZwischenWissenUndHandeln |

If true, this idea is dangerous for at least two main reasons. First, because its implications are highly relevant to the issue of freedom of speech. Second, because it suggests that our rational autonomy is much more limited than we like to think. This idea is especially dangerous now, because we have discovered a plausible neural mechanism that can explain why observing violence induces imitative violence. Moreover, the properties of this neural mechanism — the human mirror neuron system — suggest that imitative violence may not always be a consciously mediated process... human mirror neuron areas are critical to imitation. There is also evidence that the activation of this neural system is fairly automatic, thus suggesting that it may by-pass conscious mediation", edge.org GOTO FairlyAutomatic GOTO Freiheit GOTO Herding-Freiheit |
