“The insight at the root of artificial intelligence was that these "bits" (manipulated by computers) could just as well stand as symbols for concepts that the machine would combine by the strict rules of logic or the looser associations of psychology.” WellsBitsPsychologyComputerConceptsRootsLogicMachinesInsightSymbolsArtificial IntelligenceAssociationArtificialStrictStrict Rules Author:Daniel Crevier

“The first proponent of cortical memory networks on a major scale was neither a neuroscientist nor a computer scientist but .. a Viennes economist: Friedrich von Hayek (1899-1992). A man of exceptionally broad knowledge and profound insight into the operation of complex systems, Hayek applied such insight with remarkable success to economics (Nobel Prize, 1974), sociology, political science, jurisprudence, evolutionary theory, psychology, and brain science (Hayek, 1952).” MenFirstsPoliticalMemoriesBrainPsychologyTheoryComputerMajorsEconomicsScientistProfoundComplexesInsightScalesOperationsRemarkablePrizeBroadsEconomistSociologyPolitical ScienceNobelNobel PrizeComplex SystemsHayekJurisprudenceBrain ScienceVon Hayek Author:Joaquin Fuster
“When I think about discussions at the Society for Philosophy and Psychology, a group which includes not only philosophers and psychologists, but also computer scientists and linguists, it is noteworthy that one can't always tell just from the content of particular contributions from the audience, whether a given questioner is a philosopher or an empirical scientist.” ThinkingPhilosophyGivenAudiencePsychologyGroupsParticularComputerScientistPhilosopherDiscussionContributionPsychologistLinguists Author:Hilary Kornblith
“As the popular trust in science fades - and many sociologists say that's happening today - people will develop a distrust of purely "scientific" psychology. Researchers in the universities haven't picked up on this; they're more interested in genetics and computer models of thinking than ever. But, in general, there is a huge distrust of the scientific establishment now.” PeopleThinkingTodayPsychologyHavensHugeComputerModelsHappeningsUniversityEstablishmentFadesDistrustGeneticsResearchersSociologists Author:James Hillman
“There was a period there where I was like, "No, no, no, this is crazy. I don't want to take any more drawing classes and talk about what looks best. I want to study math and psychology and physics and all these nerdy things with computers." That was fun and great, but that didn't work out.
