Taken from Thinking for a Living: Throughout his travels in the United States, Düsseldorf-based photographer Josef Schulztook pictures of along the highways. He later digitally manipulated these images of signage to remove their message, reducing them to sculptural form. Each sign seems to be waiting to tell you something. The results are an interesting commentary on consumerism and our current economic crisis. Sign Out is currently on display at Galerie Heinz-Martin Weigand in Ettlingen. (Via CoolHunting)
“Procrastination is trying to do eight things at once and not being able to finish one…” A lovely film to procrastinate and watch while making a cup of tea. By John Kelly.
harharhar: The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which “people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it”. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than in actuality; by contrast the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to a perverse result where less competent people will rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding.
