CH1 L54: Education – part IV (Survival, Competition, and Hierarchies)

February 13, 2020 2 Comments

When it comes to education, there are many angles and aspects to talk about. Let’s study the evolution of education. Richard Dawkins [1] in “The Selfish Gene” [2] has said that our body is nothing but a machine that the genes have developed to increase their chance of survival. Compared to bacteria which spend almost all their energy to reproduce, […]

Ch1 L50: Summary (Part III)

October 26, 2019 Leave a Comment

The basic cognitive step to make sense of the world around us is to connect things based on the law I called the law of adjacency: two spatial, temporal, or conceptual things are related to each other in mind [1]. As an example, we saw how the brain could relate the smell of a rose to its shape and create […]

Ch1 L47: Beliefs – part XXI (On science)

September 29, 2019 Leave a Comment

In the previous posts [1], we discussed that as an infant we thought what we did (mainly crying) solved our problems. Then we grew up a bit and realized that without our parents we couldn’t survive. We noticed that there’s a nice correlation between the infant-hood, then the magic era and the childhood and the religion era [2]. Eventually, we […]

Ch1 L45: Beliefs – part XIX (On religions)

September 9, 2019 1 Comment

In the earlier posts, we discussed that the history of the cognitive revolution could be divided into three eras based on different types of causality [1]: magic, religion, and science [2]. We talked about the magic era in which people believed [3] that their actions could affect the natural courses. In the religion era, the exact opposite belief was cultivated: […]

Ch1 L36: Beliefs – part X (sacrifices III)

June 1, 2019 2 Comments

Through the last post, we saw how mankind canonized totems since they needed a focal point to direct their attention, sacrifices, and prayers [1]. We also studied in the post about the magic era [2] that based on the law of adjacency [3] and causality [4], they believed that two similar things can have similar effect or if you touched […]

Ch1 L30: Beliefs – part VI (Magics)

April 13, 2019 8 Comments

The concept of causality [1] has enabled us to react to causes instead of effects and the belief [2] in it has directed us to look for the causes of phenomena. In fact, we can analyze the history of Sapiens based on the type of causes they’ve assigned to the things around. Sir James Frazer [3], in “The golden bough” […]

Stationary Traveller by Camel

To the readers

My target readers are exactly those whom Einstein and Infeld have described in the preface of “the evolution of physics”: “Whilst writing the book we had long discussions as to the characteristics of our idealized reader and worried a good deal about him. We had him making up for a complete lack of any concrete knowledge of physics and mathematics by quite a great number of virtues. We found him interested in physical and philosophical ideas and we were forced to admire the patience with which he struggled through the less interesting and more difficult passages. He realized that in order to understand any page he must have read the preceding ones carefully. He knew that a scientific book, even though popular, must not be read in the same way as a novel.”
