We're just monkeys

We're just monkeys 04/01/2005 03:18 PM

Jim Downing @ Smart Mobs

like a monkey driving a car

This article in Businessweek says that "the study of neuroeconomics may topple the notion of rational decision-making. According to the new science of neuroeconomics, the explanation might lie inside the brains of the negotiators. Not in the prefrontal cortex, where people rationally weigh pros and cons, but deep inside, where powerful emotions arise. Brain scans show that when people feel they're being treated unfairly, a small area called the anterior insula lights up, engendering the same disgust that people get from, say, smelling a skunk. That overwhelms the deliberations of the prefrontal cortex. With primitive brain functions so powerful, it's no wonder that economic transactions often go awry. "In some ways, modern economic life for humans is like a monkey driving a car," says Colin F. Camerer, an economist at California Institute of Technology".

Why Logic Often Takes A Backseat

I generally don't like the idea of trying to turn everything into economics. It often reminds me of trying to make music with math. This idea that we act irrationally is obvious to most people and if neurologists can help explain it to the economists, good. But I don't think it's just our economy that's being run by monkeys.

The best thing ever, now with monkeys

The best thing ever, now with monkeys 12/22/2003 04:12 PM

My favorite song from Johnny Cash's last cover songs disc was definitely Desperado. And now, a flash artist/fan has made a video for it that is loaded with monkeys. I didn't think there was any way to improve on the song, but throwing a few chimps on horses just proved me wrong. This is even better than the song alone. [via vidiot]

So, okay, Carly Fiorina of HP and Lucent fame gets ousted from HP. News happens around an hour ago. Same time, AAPL drops like two bucks. Why? HP re-sells iPods. Because HP re-sells iPods and because HP's leader was ousted, ass-munches on Wall St. devalue AAPL.

What. The. Hell?

A thousand monkeys filtering advertising

A thousand monkeys filtering advertising 10/29/2003 12:10 AM
A common thread between the most effective forms of online advertising is the introduction of a hyperlink to a targeted user. In this respect, there is no difference between Google text ads, Orbitz pop-ups, and DoubleClick banner ads: for the advertisement to be effect, the viewer must follow a link. The browser market is ripe for plugin that, like Vipul's Razor, harnesses the efforts of many humans to identify and block unwanted advertisements. Users have proven with the SpamNet that they are willing to flag spam for the greater good, as long as it serves them as well; browsers should provide a mechanism for them to do so. Once the browser detects a community-reported ad, it can automatically obscure it – or remove it completely. This solution is in no way limited to banner ads. When a blog comment is...

The Page of Generators

"Steven Savage has the turn of mind that plays with permutations, and has come up with an entire page of generators. Mostly they’re just for fun, or as an aid to imagination for gamers; but a couple of them generated material that would catch my eye in a slush ms. One is the Academic SF Generator (inexplicably filed under character-related generators), which generates fields of study...

Even better is the Action Film Trailer Generator. It’s meant to generate parodic action-movie trailer voiceovers." [Making Light]

Uncle Milton, the ant farm tycoon, is selling an "Aquasaurs" (real name: Triops longicaudatus) habitat. These creatures are much cooler than Sea-Monkeys.

According to this FAQ : Triops longicaudatus are crustaceans that are also called Dinosaur shrimp or Tadpole shrimp that look like miniature horseshoe crabs.  They have a short life-cycle of 20 to 90 days - growing very quickly in this time to about 2 inches in length !" Link (Thanks, Jonathan!)
