I started writing a half hour ago an entry most erudite about cognition bias and how this effects our judgment when it comes to making decisions and drawing conclusions but I got too tired to complete it. Perhaps some other day. I feel obliged to write something even though I can scarcely keep apart my eyelids.
As I compose I am watching “Fantastic Planet” , which if I wasn’t half asleep I’d be flabbergasted. For something set into the far distant future it looks quite dated. It’s psychedelic. I suppose every generation gets the science fiction it needs – or deserves. A few days ago I glanced on TV a programme set in ancient Greece but clearly 21st century in attitude and hair style. My favorite sci-fi was made in the 70s where the aliens and space men wear bellbottoms and have sideburns and afros. Groovy. I prefer reading science-fiction for it allows me my own imagination to do the work.
I suppose there is more on this topic but it’s too late to write any more. I will expand on things anon….
