"Let the saint intercede to protect our way on the roads," said Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the Vatican secretary of state and the highest-ranking church official after Pope John Paul II. "And may motorists drive with judgment and prudence".
Careful experimental probing can helpfully augment traditional armchair methods as a way of identifying the structure of implicit assumptions that drive intuitive judgments about test cases.
Whether work colleagues are aware of their biases about their coworkers or not, the impact remains the same: biases drive irrational judgments and decision-making about others.
To determine whether striatal ensembles drive subjects' judgments of duration, we manipulated and recorded from striatal neurons in rats performing a duration categorization psychophysical task.
That post, titled Thankfully, Software Is Eating The Personal Investing World, pointed out the advantages of engineering-driven software solutions versus emotionally driven human judgment.
It could include not just elderly judges but behavioural scientists too, capable of understanding why humans make mistakes and what drives bad judgments, alongside data scientists good at sifting vast quantities of information.
One influential hypothesis posits that personal cases like push elicit stronger emotional responses than do impersonal cases like switch, and these emotional reactions drive harm-averse judgments in the former to a larger extent than in the latter.
A more cooperative system leveraging humans and technological systems may evolve, but the core functions necessary for complex diagnoses, treatments and monitoring will be driven by machine judgment instead of human judgment.
And if elderly drivers don't feel comfortable driving on roads with such limits, they should exercise their better judgment and drive on roads on which they do feel comfortable just as I stay off ski slopes that are above my (limited) level of skill.
