Oh I wasn’t talking about models or modeling in general really. I just thought the cubist chicken story was a good model (haha) for human communication in general.
-
Ah, gotcha. Doesn't the Socratic fallacy still apply though? I can have a conversation with a 5 year old about cows, no problem, but ask them to define a cow and they will struggle to give an exhaustive definition.
-
That’s kind of what I meant I think. Cubist chicken guys wouldn’t have so much fun if they defined their chickens 1st & we wouldn’t be able to communicate if we tried to define everything. We mostly seem to operate without clear definitions & comm benefits from that obscurity.

The only bit I'm not sure about is the final conclusion. The rest, yes.
-
Whose final conclussion?
-
Haha so much confusion

-
"& comm benefits..."

I see it as being neutral, in that it's neither completely benign nor malign.

Is that less literal Olivia? :P
-
No, it's basically the same story as the Cubist chicken.
-
I think I'm lost now, sorry
-
The Cubist chicken story — as I understood it! — was two dramatically different models of Cubist chickens in their minds implemented in the same Lego blocks.
-
Such as "error correction"? ;)
-
Now I'm lost!

Me too!
