May this blog serve as a reminder to the NeoNix of the Pisay and Ateneo, in hopes that lessons may be learned from her (mis)adventures.

Paraphrase. Original Text,


This blog entry is hosted on both Blogger and Multiply. Have a look!


Intended to be understood by R23ans.

Our everyday reasoning is not governed primarily by the rules of logic or probability calculus, but depends to a surprisingly large extent on what we know, on the way our knowledge is organized in memory and on how such knowledge is evoked. Highly intelligent people, asked to solve a simple problem calling for the use of elementary logic, are likely to behave like dunderheads unless the program is couched in such a way as to trigger networks of knowledge that are organized in logical fashion. Content is of critical importance in deciding whether we think rationally or not whereas in logic exactly the reverse is true; content is supremely unimportant and form is everything.

"On clear and peaceful nights like these,
There's nothing more I'd like to do
Than to lie down, under the heavens,
And to gaze at the stars with you...
