A Prova da Web

Um blog curioso em termos de incursões pelo mundo da filosofia e ciências cognitivas embora ache que alguns posts são fruto de demasiado tempo livre.

Um laboratório de investigação na área das ciências cognitivas da Universidade de Maryland. O termo, se o entendi correctamente, vem da mistura da vertente de manipulação abstracta de símbolos com a vertente de se lhe dar significado a essas manipulações sendo estas feitas pelo sistema perceptual e motor do cérebro. Parece ser um modelo que tenta ligar a cognição humana com a influência que o nosso corpo tem nessa mesma cognição.

A página da Nature na Internet, destaque para a Nature Network, uma rede social com grupos de discussão. Apesar do acesso limitado para o acesso gratuito, acaba por valer a pena pela rede social que construíram.

Apesar de parecer interessante, não tive paciência para ler a página toda, o que me chamou a atenção foi a secção "Capturing the Whole Picture", para onde o link aponta, em que apresentam um Triângulo Holístico. Segundo o texto, este triângulo combina e permite identificar as 3 grandes componentes na avaliação de programas escolares o que no fundo acaba por ser uma espécie de avaliação de nós próprios.

Sorry for not being able to reply in Portugese.

Turns out Google translate is actually useful!

Yes, I have too much free time. An accurate insight! If you could give me a couple examples, I would appreciate it.

Greetings. Wow, talk about water under the bridge. Let me take that back.

As I had stated in the post, I do find your blog interesting in spite, at the time, of some posts that I might had found boring. If you posted them is because you did not and you of course felt they were worth putting them online.

Sorry but I am not going to go over your blog posts to try and recall which of them I found were not worthy of my free time :)

But I can tell you as an opinion on Internet articles, posts, whatever form for writing something that I dislike them and feel that the meaning gets lost if they are too long (ie: several A4 pages long) or if good formatting is not applied (eg: text body too wide). Nothing still beats the good old feeling and comfort of paper. I guess that's a main reason why some blog authors publish books with their blog posts.

Cheers.

Yeah, that makes sense. Not that it doesn't mean I won't argue with you...

If you posted them is because you did not and you of course felt they were worth putting them online.

But, I can be wrong. It is a fact that I have too much free time. This is probably impacting my writing.

I guess, then, I ask that if you don't like a post in future, do let me know.

And yes, key word 'ask.' This is almost purely out of my own curiosity, not worth straining yourself over.

Nothing still beats the good old feeling and comfort of paper.

Paper is definitely really good. I seriously doubt paper is just ultimate best, so I keep wondering what would beat it.

Cheers yourself.
