Quick, acute, and recoverable. It's our best hope.

Yep, I meant to US.

Sorry for the late response. Life has taken my sm habit from me. Missing the chic trains.. oh the infrastructure envy. It's very real, and I'm saying this as someone from the motor city.

Seems incredibly shortsighted [on our part].
You'd know better than I would, but what examples even are there of "superpowers" following an isolationist approach that didn't eventually lead into direct involvement? (The world wars loom large, but that's because I'm a rube)

For starters, there seem to be pretty compelling arguments against the carpentry idea, in particular. For example, the illusion doesn't require the straight lines so characteristic of carpentry. You can get the same effect with curved lines, dots, or even faces. (5/13)

In our paper, Chaz & I zoomed out & evaluated the hypothesis pretty broadly, bringing together diverse lines of evidence from the cognitive sciences. So.. does culture create the Müller-Lyer illusion? We think: "Probably not". Here's a visual summary of our argument. (4/13)

It's a bummer to see scholars doubling down on deficit-based approaches to psychopathy (e.g., this new theory paper). Psychopathic individuals can have some deficits, sure, but can also exhibit *surfeits* of some traits like inhibitory control and even empathy. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I'd love to see the legalese they use to protect themselves from lawsuits. Especially in contrast to their marketing material.
