\nWith NNT on hiatus as it were, my attention is being drawn to people who are talking about his ideas. I don’t really have the time (or smarts really) to do point by point analysis of each individual’s application (or criticism ) of NNT’s ideas, but I do think it’s interesting to see how these ideas are spreading.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Epistemocrats<\/b> make maps<\/i>. <\/div>\n

It’s m=1<\/a>\/n=1<\/b> cartography<\/a><\/i>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Aaron Blaisdell<\/a> knows: his pigeons and rats<\/a> build cognitive maps for foraging, among other things.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Beliefs are our decision-making heuristics–myths<\/a>–embedded within our cognitive maps (encoded in our neural circuitry networks) that we develop iteratively, as recursive and nonlinear updating functions, across time as a result of t<\/i>h<\/b>inkering (thinking + tinkering) in our local ecologies: we are, after all, local animals inhabiting an increasingly global world. As organisms, we respond to the textures of our environments–stimuli–in our own unique ways, and we interact with time-sensitive feedback in this manner each and every day. Upon reflection, we quickly realize that this bottom-up process produces vast complexity almost instantly, so what do we do to sort through this fractally-dense forestry effectively: we make maps.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We act as cartographers, as mapmakers, in the face of uncertainty, in the face of opacity.<\/div>\n
