Noam is so sharp and focused. Really impressive.

I did not fully understand how the fallacy he sees in the attitude to the Ants example is related to

Big Data

illusions. An area (deep learning) I spent some time recently trying to better penetrate.

Btw, the series of cubic differences should look 7,19,37,61 (not 21).

We greatly enjoyed staying in 62nd.

We plan to be back in the last week of Aug. for several weeks (having some speeches to make)

will you still be in NM?

If positive we might come over for few days.

Pl let us know.

From Nil as well.

Neat indeed.

I'm writing about the Iran deal. So far have only sent a form paragraph in response to requests.

Below.

Noam

On Iran, as usual, I'm a gloomy contrarian. I'm glad the treaty was signed, and it's kind of fun to

watch the

Republican lunatics shrieking hysterically as they try to kill it (as they may). And Israeli hypocrisy

has gone

well beyond being comical. But in fact the whole thing is farcical, in my opinon. In the US, Iran is

"the

greatest threat to world peace", intoned constantly from on high, in the media, everywhere. There

is also such

a thing as world opinion, as measured by such ultra-radicals as Gallup. It turns out that the

greatest threat to

world peace is the US, by a very wide margin, no one else even close, and Iran barely mentioned.

The

American population is protected from these unwanted facts by the Free Press: not reported.

There is an

organization called US intelligence. They brief Congress regularly on the international security

situation, all

quite public. On Iran, they point out that it has very limited military power, even by regional

standards (a

small fraction of Saudi Arabia, for example). Its strategic doctrine is defensive. If a big If it has

plans for

nuclear weapons, that would be part of its deterrent strategy. Now who would be opposed to Iran

having a

deterrent strategy? Answer is clear: the rogue states that rampage violently in the region and

don't want any

impediment: the US and Israel, also lesser ones like UK and France. One simple way to reduce

the threat of

nuclear weapons would be to establish a nuclear-weapons free zone in the region, as has been

done elsewhere

(over US objections). That's been advocated by the Arab states for 20 years, with very wide

global support,

including Iran. It comes up regularly at the 5-year review meetings of the Nonproliferation Treaty,

at the UN,

again a few months ago, when, again, it was blocked by the US to protect its Israeli client, which

has a huge

nuclear weapons arsenal and wants to keep it. Again, the population is protected from such facts

by the Free

Press (though in this case there are some fringe exceptions, and of course the Arms Control

literature). Same

with the rest of the litany. Reading the US and UK press is like living in some lunatic asylum. I'm

wondering

whether to write about it again; have done so repeatedly. It's like talking to a wall. Iran has an

awful

government, though by the standards of such US allies as Saudi Arabia, it's practically heaven.

Nevertheless, better to have the treaty than not to, given the nature of the asylum.

What you suggest is very much the model that has been current in the behavioral sciences for

many years. It has a

record of colossal failure, and for good reasons, I think. It's disproven, but keeps coming back,

most recently with Big

Data illusions.

A child doesn't grow arms and legs rather than wings, or a mammalian vs insect visual system,

the way an ant

searches for food. Rather, the path of development is sharply restricted (and evolution follows

constraints

too). Acquisition of language (and other cognitive achievements) seems very much like physical

growth.

Highly contentious in the field, but in my opinion that's a comment on the failures of the field.
