Patternicity: Finding Meaningful Patterns in Meaningless Noise: Scientific American - 7 views

      I think this is a very interesting article. This article reminds me of the story about a biologist and a businessman. They are walking together. Suddenly, the biologist hears the sound of an extremely rare insect that he hes been looking for a long time. The businessman does not hear anything. Later, the businessman hears a sound of a quarter just hits the ground. And of course, the biologist does not hear it. So i think it is very similar to this article because people can find things that they are interested in easier than things that they never want. By getting interested in something, the brain or our mind will create like a pattern inside, and it keeps telling and seeking from everything around us that might be related of what we are looking for or what we are interested in.

      This is very interesting to me because it shows how people's decision could be framed. The politicians can control or use media as their tool to get people's attention. And i think that people should stand up and solve their problem on their own instead of blaming on the society and government which will not help them that much
