THE MET LOTTERY, by kjg on May 23, 2022 21:09:57 GMT 1, 1. Part D: What is it that Julia Galef felt was missing from the discourse about rationality? Within that context, please also explain what she means by intelligence and knowledge being "tools". She feels a focus on motivation is missing from that discourse, because most books about improving reasoning tend to focus on giving people knowledge that they can use as a weapon against other people instead of using knowledge in other ways. With intelligence and knowledge being tools she means that these are instruments that you can use to pounce other people’s beliefs and thought systems, so aimed outwardly, but that you can also use these tools to check with yourself what is really true and what you really think about something, so by pointing those utensils at yourself and questioning you own beliefs. 2. Part D: With references to "On the one hand" and "On the other hand", Coleman Hughes describes two goals many people have — which seem so important that it's very difficult to know what to do when they're in tension or conflict. What are these two goals? These two goals are: 1. Pursuing the truth wherever it may lead, to develop a picture of the world around you as accurate as possible 2. Feeling part of a group, because so much what we care about in life is being connected to being approved of by the people that are close to us. Congratulations, kjg.
You've won Competition 49, perhaps having anticipated the predictability of my questions.
Your prize is an undisclosed offset lithograph poster.
REFERENCE ANSWERS — COMPETITION 49
1. Part D: What is it that Julia Galef felt was missing from the discourse about rationality? Within that context, please also explain what she means by intelligence and knowledge being "tools".
A focus on motivation is what Galef felt was missing from the discourse about rationality.
Galef describes intelligence and knowledge as being tools that can be directed according to one's motivation:
You can direct them towards trying to figure out what's actually true, even if it's not what you wish were true. Or you can direct it towards finding clever ways to justify your preconceived beliefs. And so I felt like the bottleneck [to rational thinking and decision-making] is really more the motivation that directs our thinking than about our knowledge and intelligence.
2. Part D: With references to "On the one hand" and "On the other hand", Coleman Hughes describes two goals many people have — which seem so important that it's very difficult to know what to do when they're in tension or conflict.
What are these two goals?
(i) to develop as accurate a picture of the world as possible / pursue the truth wherever it may lead; and
(ii) being approved of by our immediate circle, by a chosen tribe / to feel part of a group (what Hughes also describes as being "one of the central determinants of human happiness").
__________
BONUS QUESTIONS
Two bonus prize questions, exclusive to you:
1. Part D: To win a hardcover copy of Julia Galef's book, The Scout Mindset: Why Some People See Things Clearly and Others Don't:
In two or more sentences, please describe any point raised during the conversation between Galef and Coleman Hughes that was of interest to you (regardless of whether you agreed with the views expressed).
2. Part E: To win a sealed pack of 12 Banksy postcards from the artist's 2009 Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition:
What is the official name of the crown or tiara being worn by the chimpanzee (or, more precisely, whose image was used as a source image for the crown or tiara being worn by the chimpanzee)?
The deadline for answering one or both bonus questions is 23:59 UK time on Friday 27 May.
Good luck.
Thanks! It is my birthday today, so this is a nice extra present. And thanks for the opportunity to answer two bonus questions :-)

Jonas Wood. Bball print with book and bag, by kjg on May 17, 2022 13:13:51 GMT 1, I think that's because it's not a typical, iconic Wood image. If this print had been a large, colorful plant or basketball or a combination of both, this print would be a lot more expensive. And the poster is from an editon of only 6, so actually quite limited :-) More than 6 were signed too officially, and more unofficially. There's no numbering or documentation stating it's an edition. Agre that the studio etching is undervalued currently. Ah, that could be true of course.
But I still have the mail and the sales pdf from Kordansky that state that mine is from an edition of 6 (5 unframed, 1 framed). They sold those at the NY Art Book Fair.

JONAS WOOD Large Shelf Still Life £690, by kjg on May 16, 2022 10:50:21 GMT 1, Fair enough...my bad, but not just the paper, the image was just so lifeless. Each to their own, I get that.
Well, it is called ‘Large Still Life’, so it should be kind of lifeless I guess :-)

But what did you expect? It is an exhibition poster.

I simply taped one on the window of my daughter's bedroom with adhesive tape.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kjg on May 3, 2022 12:28:19 GMT 1, which way a piece faces doesn't matter. I think it must be to do with the numbers/letters around the edge, they appear to be in reverse order, but the resolution of the photo is not good enough for me to make a judgement on that.
It's a chessboard, so the numbers around the edges are at the exact spots where they should be :-)

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kjg on May 3, 2022 11:44:54 GMT 1, Never thought that my comment would be the starting point for a real quiz on this forum, but if anyone spots another mistake in the chess board I throw in a Pejac postcard for the winner 🥳 No more mistakes as far as I can see, but I like it better when the knights face the enemy instead of looking to the side :-)

Adam Pendleton 🇺🇸 New Print Release • Exhibition News, by kjg on May 1, 2022 2:05:19 GMT 1, I am looking for Adam Pendleton’s limited edition print ‘Untitled (mask)’, which was released by Phaidon in 2020. I know it’s a long and probably hopeless effort, but preferably for an amount around the cost price. Of course I will be more than happy to pay a premium.
I also have a limited edition signed Jonas Wood poster as a trade. Please send me a message if you can help me out!
