Predicting the forecast
My last few posts have been aggregate rather than observation and opinion, so let me combine the two modes through this post.
This article, posted through yahoo, illuminates idea-logical spatilization/pattern recognition and neurological forecasting. The article illustrates one of the functions of the brain, going on in the background of our being, creating feedback into our behavior. Our brains forecast a split second into the future to make up for the processing lag that it labors under; it runs probabilities and attempts to express the most accurate model of reality back to us. Trying to figure out or control what comes next is at the heart of a great deal of human behavior, gambling, religion, science and politics, just to name a few. Could we be sensing our brain's machinations in the background and then believe in a destiny, a controling god, or even in a system that enables a gambler to try and 'beat the house'?
Be good to your brains.
