Cognitive Fluidity - steven mithen

[Smart Not Clever]

Cognitive fluidity - prehistory of the mind for those interested.

[RichardM1]

All my cognition is flowing out my right ear. And does that mean for cognition, pV = nRT?

Opacity, the new Transparency.

> Why ask an archaeologist about the human mind? < This reminded me of episode 2 "So Human, So Chimp" of "The Human Spark" with Alan Alda, which showed experiments in which they try to teach chimps to discriminate between Heavy and Light objects - this takes hundreds of training runs. In the researcher's opinion, the Chimp mind can't deal with "Non-Observables", they have to see to believe. The whole episode is very excellent and available online for free.
