Daniel Dennett, suvremeni američki filozof, uz slavnog evolucijskog biologa Richarda Dawkinsa jedan je od predvodnika globalne kampanje Novog ateizma. U Puli će Dennett predstaviti hrvatsko izdanje svoje knjige Kraj čarolije: religija kao prirodna pojava. - Ognjen Strpić

knjiga http://gigapedia.com/items:l... izgleda skroz neloša (hvala), iako mi je premisa, da su Evropljani imali što izgubiti u tom pogledu osim vlastitog autističnog licemjerja, bezvezna - Ognjen Strpić

ivaninu fotku još nisam primjetio, al to da se ta balavurdija na faksu ufurala u pravedničku pozu u kojoj im je sve dopušteno, to je žalosno i štetno. - Petar Milat

što novinari mogu učiniti? Koji su sve potencijalni prostori 'slobode' i 'borbe'? Kakve nam mogućnosti nudi internet? Što je moguće postići samoorganiziranjem? - Ognjen Strpić

Ancient Greek could be deciphered without word spaces if you sounded it out, and did without them. Latin, too, ceased to separate words by the second century. the ancient world did not desire “to make reading easier and swifter.” Reading was a public act, and the lack of word spacing forced it to stay that way for centuries. “Psychologically, silent reading emboldened the reader, because it placed the source of his curiosity completely under his personal control.” Heresy became easier to communicate, and Saenger postulates that word spacing eventually made possible phenomena like irony, pornography and freedom of conscience. though camel case may have been spurred by recent technology, its effect is regressive — in fact, medieval. It harks back to an era when reading was effortful, public and loud — like a visit to a contemporary shopping mall. - Ognjen Strpić

The Political Economy of Trust: Interests, Institutions and Inter-Firm Cooperation in Italy and Germany http://gigapedia.com/items:l... sets out a rational choice account of how institutions affect the ways in which people do or do not trust each other, and applies it to explain cooperation among firms in Italy and Germany, as well as among Sicilian mafiosi. - Ognjen Strpić

Professions form themselves - usually under the heavy hand of a select few discourse shapers - by institutionalizing venues and establishing the media of self-congratulation. In photography think only of the way John Szarkowski helped establish Walker Evans as the benchmark. In social science think of the way economists accrue capital via the Nobel Prize. In each instance the processes at work are deeply political and so, none-too-pretty. In any case, the four Deutsche Börse finalists this year are Anna Fox, Zoe Leonard http://exhibitions.nypl.org/exhibit..., Donovan Wylie, and Sophie Ristelhueber. - Ognjen Strpić

Dehaene, a neuroscientist [http://gigapedia.info/1...], is curious about "how the human brain is changed by education and culture. Essentially, the brain did not evolve for culture, but culture evolved to be learnable by the brain. Of course, this view of culture as a constrained “lego” game isn't that novel. It is deeply related to the structuralist view of anthropology, as exemplified by Claude Levi-Strauss and Dan Sperber. What I am proposing is that the universal structures that recur across cultures are, in fact, ultimately traceable to specific brain systems." - Ognjen Strpić

"Both of my books, “The Number Sense” and “Reading in the Brain,” point to the fact that young children are more competent than we think. Learning is not “the furnishing of the mind's white paper,” as John Locke said. Even for an activity as novel as reading, we do not learn from scratch, but by minimally changing our existing brain circuits, capitalizing on their pre-existing... more... - Goran Zec

Journalists are masters at filtering, synthesizing and presenting information, yet we’ve spent more than a decade repurposing a 19th-century form of specialized storytelling instead of starting fresh with the possibilities of a new medium. Newspapers could have been Wikipedia, instead of being left to try and learn from it. - Ognjen Strpić

…cows are curious. They follow you around and watch you. That cow is checking things out, maybe looking at the unfamiliar photographer carrying unfamiliar equipment that might be a threat. Cows are frightened by blowing or billowing fabrics and by certain colors — yellow can bother them. Maybe the picture was taken by a guy in yellow coat. I don’t know but that’s a normal reaction of a cow. - Ognjen Strpić
