• Ask Zompist: Teacher! Leave those kids alone!
  Dear <<Zompist>>, In a recent post to the ZBB thread "Prescriptivism, the French Academy, and reality" you made these provocative statements: Now, the smartest people teach themselves; but for everyone else, there's education. I tend to think this is a mistake— the classroom is one of the worst ways to learn, except for a small fraction of people. What makes learning in a classroom ineffective? How should we educate people instead? —Mike

• Le BaRBeRy v 1.0: Dictionnaire CoRHuPOP (Cognitivo-Rapo-Humoristico-Poético-Oulipo-Psychanalytique)
  L'idée de la barberysation (décomposition monophonématique) m'est venue en 1995 en écoutant MC Solaar, un matin à 6h tandis que je me rendais au fort de mon service militaire. En 2001, Olivier Gillet, une des personnes les plus talentueuses que j'aie jamais rencontrée, a développé pour moi cette première version. C'est à lui que revient la fabuleuse idée de la visualisation en paon, trouvée en regardant le plafond de la Samaritaine. La version 2 doit, par exemple, ajouter une dimension sémantique (dictionnaire de synonymes hiérarchisé, thesaurus) à la simple grille phonético-orthographique de la v1.

• Lessons From the Science of Nothing At All
  Where I come from we make things from nothing - from dreams and fantasies. The laws of physics don't apply. Our products weigh zero. We've explored just about every product development approach there is - extreme or otherwise: waterfall, iterative, rapid prototyping, community development, and mobs. Imagine this: Dionysus has deleted all the software on the planet - what's going to happen? You won't be able to surf the Web, send email, make and run spreadsheets, use word processors, and download music. No more anonymously available dirty pictures, no more mapping services, no more reading newspapers from around the world, no more computer and video games, no more pocket organizers, no more modern warfare, governments will come to a halt. Well, that's not so

• The Playboy Interview: Marshall McLuhan
  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.

• wikipedia: Codex Seraphinianus
  The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978.[1] The book is approximately 360 pages long (depending on edition), and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, an incomprehensible (at least for us) alphabetic writing.

• wikipedia: Voynich manuscript
  The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book with incomprehensible contents. It is thought to have been written between approximately 1450 and 1520 by an unknown author in an unidentified script and language. Over its recorded existence, the Voynich manuscript has been the object of intense study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers of World War II fame (all of whom failed to decrypt a single word). This string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into a famous subject of historical cryptology, but it has also given weight to the theory that the book is simply an elaborate hoax — a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols.

• Wired 14.12: Me Translate Pretty One Day
  Spanish to English? French to Russian? Computers haven't been up to the task. But a New York firm with an ingenious algorithm and a really big dictionary is finally cracking the code. With Carbonell on board, the new company set about building its Spanish system. Soon, however, Abir's peripatetic invention habits created conflicts. Klein, Carbonell, and the developers feared the company was losing focus. "Eli is a mad genius," Carbonell says. "Both of those words apply. Some of his ideas are totally bogus. And some of his ideas are brilliant. Eli himself can't always tell the two apart." Abir, determined to build a larger AI "brain" that would tackle not just MT but other problems, took little interest in the day-to-day engineering. Eventually he left the

• 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.

• Co-evolution of neocortex size, group size and language in humans
  Keywords Neocortical size, group size, humans, language, Macchiavellian Intelligence Abstract Group size is a function of relative neocortical volume in nonhuman primates. Extrapolation from this regression equation yields a predicted group size for modern humans very similar to that of certain hunter-gatherer and traditional horticulturalist societies. Groups of similar size are also found in other large-scale forms of contemporary and historical society. Among primates, the cohesion of groups is maintained by social grooming; the time devoted to social grooming is linearly related to group size among the Old World monkeys and apes. To maintain the stability of the large groups characteristic of humans by grooming alone would place intolerable demands on t
