Aflam lucruri noi


Ca de obicei cand imi gasesc timp sa citesc cate ceva din NYT aflu lucruri f interesante. Astfel, pornind de la un articol intitulat "Your Brain Lies to You" http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/opinion/27aamodt.html?em&ex=1214884800&en=9b34d24b60bc382e&ei=5087%0A

am ajuns, via Readers Comments la un blog f interesant si f argumentat stiintific (tipul e atat de destept incat pe langa el eu par uncopil de gradinita)
Reiese din aceste articole ca noi acceptam cu greu ideile care nu corespund cu preconceptiile noastre, ba chiar le refuzam, mintindu-ne ca sunt false. Inca mai interesant este

"Get Out of Your Own Way"
Studies Show the Value of Not Overthinking a Decision

By ROBERT LEE HOTZ


care arata, intre multe altele, ca subconstientul are un aport f mare in luarea deciziilor cercetatorii stiind cu 10 secunde inaintea subiectilor ce decizie vor lua acestia. 10 sec uneori pot insemna f mult, mi-am dat seama de asta in laboratorul de fizica atunci cand, incercand, fara succes, sa refacem experimentul prin care Planck a ajuns la constanta lui faceam masuratori din 5 in 5 sec,in acest interval pronuntand omultime de cuvinte.

Si mai interesanta e concluzia:

Such experiments suggest that our best reasons for some choices we make are understood only by our cells. The findings lend credence to researchers who argue that many important decisions may be best made by going with our gut -- not by thinking about them too much.
Dutch researchers led by psychologist Ap Dijksterhuis at the University of Amsterdam recently found that people struggling to make relatively complicated consumer choices -- which car to buy, apartment to rent or vacation to take -- appeared to make sounder decisions when they were distracted and unable to focus consciously on the problem.
Moreover, the more factors to be considered in a decision, the more likely the unconscious brain handled it all better, they reported in the peer-reviewed journal Science in 2006. "The idea that conscious deliberation before making a decision is always good is simply one of those illusions consciousness creates for us," Dr. Dijksterhuis said.

Ca sa vezi! Eu credeam ca faptul ca cele mai bune decizii ale mele au fost cele luate "la moment", fara sa cantaresc prea mult pro si contra (helas, nu toate deciziile!) se datoresc firii mele impulsive, cand colo "creierusul meu mic", ca sa o citez pe Bahmuteanca via jumatatea mea (e incredibil cat de mult i-a placut lui aceasta expresie), stia mai bine decat constientul meu ce e mai bine.
