Depois descubro a que livro ele pertence, mas por enquanto vai assim mesmo. Trata-se de um conjunto de definições que não estariam em um livro qualquer de neurociência, porque temos coisas como:
thinkful wishing (coined by the author) — limiting one’s aspirations to what appears to be possible in the short run. (Esta expressão não foi 'cunhada pelo autor' - Otto Neurath a inventou).
Unitarian Universalism (UU) — a liberal offshoot of Protestant Christianity. The American branch is a fusion of the Unitarians, whose main focus is on the oneness (as opposed to Trinity) of God, and the Universalists, whose main focus is on universal salvation (as opposed to some being saved and some damned).
Bayesian solver — one of three types of human decision maker as described by Sam Leven. Bayesians tend to choose among a known set of alternatives and “play the percentages.” (See also Dantzig solver, Godelian solver.)
Discordianism — a playful branch of neo-Paganism (q.v.) devoted to worship of Eris, Greek goddess of chaos or disorder. It promotes the idea that both chaos and order can be good if used properly.
E etc., porque além das definições científicas econômicas e bem feitas, os campos abordados são de uma desconcertante multiplicidade. Dê uma olhada.
