Readings for M S17

Teachers,

As we rejigger the schedule, we need to relate readings.  Pay no attention to what is on the syllabus at this moment.  For class on Saturday, September 15, we will address you initial data gathering work and discuss Plato's "allegory of the cave.'  For Monday, September 17, please link through and process the following article on cognitive biases.  They are short and related; plus, they build on our discussion on consciousness begun last year in the Equity course.

As always, questions and comments are welcome.

Thanks.
