Alex Bell Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Just listed to this episode on red ice radio and I'll probably give it a few more listens, it was that interesting. The guest started out in AI technology which, as he says, basically boils down to proving we know about how cognition works by designing a computer version of parts of it. With that backgroud he currently has been researching the difference between Authoritarians and Libertarians, citing a study done at Princeton. The researcher there took a move from Steph's playbook and determined whether people were one or the other based on how they thought children should be treated, eg: Should children be respected (Libertarian) or Obey "the Rules" (Authoritarian). In this episode he discusses how bureaucracy is basically systematic authoritarianism. Check it out if you've got an hour! http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2013/10/RIR-131004.php
