Questions on "Patternicity: Finding Meaningful Patterns in Meaningless Noise" - 17 views

Politicians of course use patternicity to their advantage, who would not. They use this to appeal to our emotions, to what we know and how we feel about it. Like Gaby said, they use this to scare people aware of things they want us to be aware of. If things did not appeal to our emotions, if they did not relate to us one way or another, we would not care. Making the connection to us, making us see what we think we see, is important in us having an oppinion on it.

I think culture is very important for growth and development. Maybe not culture in the aspect of beliefs, but in the aspects of items of trade. I don't believe i have met anyone who doesn't have something that is from a different culture. We spend money on things we find interesting and that comes from cultural diversity, with out it the world would be very boring and things we buy based on pure interest would be gone. Having differences allows for new ideas, allows for things to be experimented, and quite frankly without it we would not have progressed.
Questions on Alex Lundry's Chart Wars: The Political Power of Data Visualization - 20 views
-
Charts and graphs and numbers are all used to prove a point and to debunk another. Most people don't use them to present unbiased fact, especially in politics. No one is going to point out the flaws in their own plan or thoughts, it's counter productive. It is their job to present us with facts, it is ours to research and figure out just how much is truth and how much is just skewed.

The meaning of freedom has been changed or altered and is now what ever beliefs that have been put into our minds by those before us. Which is exactly what has been shown, we will believe that we are free if we are told it because that is what we know it as.

of course children are not going to live very long if they are not properley cared for and checked for diseases after they are born. They miss a treatment window and are unfortunatly killed by the diseases that could have been cured or even prevented.

if this situation were to happen in niger the baby would have died, and so would the mother if complications with the uterine scar (which would probably have not been seen) had risen.

2. In "System Failure" he discusses how there are certain requirments one must follow and have inorder to recieve health care, and how if one does not comply, their healthcare is then revoked, regardless of how or why they did not comply. Do you feel that these rules and regulations on healthcare are to great, or do you feel that it is necessary to have the many rules that they do have? Why?
