Blog of the [Undefined Time-Unit]
Introducing Mixing Memory, a blog of a very dear friend whom I’ve known for my whole some random stranger I found by clicking around a lot, who specializes in cognitive psychology.
Brief Review:
His writing is refreshingly lucid, and consistently fascinating. He evidently likes a good debate, and although he has some quite definite opinions on things (and stuff, even!), he seems to be fairly respectful in engaging opposing arguments and trying to do them justice before skewering them to a fine crisp.
Plus, his discussions are well-cited and frequently bring up interesting research findings.
As can be seen in the post linked above, on the use of analogies in politics.
And yes he is aware that the name George Lakoff rings a bell– but, having some background in a related field, he brings up some interesting research that helps ring it even better.
Now go forth and discover.
.
Once you think about it, my “bell” reference is a completely nonsensical mismatch of meaning, so let’s just pretend it was written for aesthetic symmetry rather than say, actual coherence… (Which, pretty evidently, it was)
