    Startling window into pre-bureaucratic science, when the leading physicists, psychiatrists, statisticians, anthropologists, computer geeks, and neuroscientists talked to each other as equals.

        How cognitive science and artificial intelligence went wrong in the ‘50s (excerpt from the Bateson-Mead discussion): from an interactionist approach to a mentalist one. In the ‘80s, Agre, @rodneyabrooks, I and others tried to fix this. The obstacle: perception is really hard.pic.twitter.com/ocZovBgK74

        With 1990 computers, we basically just couldn’t do artificial perception at all. We’ve got enough flops now… it would be interesting to see whether picking up where we left off then might now be feasible.

        Do you think this world is lost for good, or do you think that new publishing and financial models, as well as ideas like open science, will help bring it back?

        The open science / replicability movement inspires hope! And, the mainstream model seems to be breaking down—which might be catastrophic, or might open new possibilities. Hard to know!

        Not a lost world. It continues at Santa Fe Institute @sfiscience .

        friend remembers those days. The most chilling thing he said was that Harvard/MIT weren't selecting the real geniuses any more. The room was different: people with good social skills; conformers. Bright, but not geniuses.

        In my experience, those who came to MIT before 1975 (an arbitrary number, but you get the point) were more willing to entertain crazy ideas without rejecting them or accepting them blindly. They were literally more open minded people.

        I remember reading that when it came out (just before I went off to MIT). Made an impression.
