Comparing
natural experiments, criticality, decision making, and
sensitivity to initial conditions.
Last week we spoke a bit about how the ability to change
one’s mind, to consciously deliberate and use imagination to make choices is
prominent in humans.
Another way of saying this is that humans can make
conscious decisions.
We remain animals, however, and are tightly coupled with
our environment.
Daniel Kahneman talked about a
system of intuition and reasoning that he described as System 1 and System 2.
Here is a summary.
With Jared Diamond’s interesting idea of comparing natural experiments in mind,
let’s look at some art/design implications, with an eye toward how
environmental elements are partners
in our decision making process.
First, a reminder of the NetFlix
Prize and Gavin
Potter’s observation that
“the 20th C. was about sorting out supply, the 21st
C. will be about sorting out demand.”
The Pedabyte Age, the
net AS a database.
Mimi Ito’s study, “the
stuff we haul around.”
Flickr Tag, “whatsinyourbag”
Jennifer Gonzalez's concept of the autotopography (in the book prosthetic territories:
politics & hypertechnologies) as a definition
of self through the objects which are most familiar or essential to the person
hauling them around uses the theory in the context of computing.
happiness
and your license plate – an application of priming (?),
“the young generation today is the
most distracted generation ever.”
Thoughts? Is
that a bad thing?
Happiness
is a bad choice for a password
What can we learn from looking at what we hold near?
Assignment:
What’s in your
bag?
What does it say about who you are, and, very importantly,
how do your interactions with those objects affect the things you do, and the
decisions you make?
Write two paragraphs and post it to friendfeed.
