Interesting news from the New Scientist which tells of a demonstration of unconscious learning and therefore knowledge that cannot be linguistically expressed.

Also of interest is a piece in Scientific American on the honesty of people being compromised after being told there is no such thing as free will. But strictly speaking this doesn’t mean free will is true – it is just certain ideas might cause good or bad behavior.

The results were clear: those who read the anti-free will text cheated more often![...] Moreover, the researchers found that the amount a participant cheated correlated with the extent to which they rejected free will in their survey responses. Scientific American

As FN said:

[...] delusion and error are conditions of human knowledge and sensation [...] Honesty would lead to nausea and suicide. The Gay Science, 107.

Guess what book I am reading?
