Does your brain have a mind of its own?

I seem to have a whole schoolyard of inner children running around in there. Does that count?<p>More seriously:<p>"But merely adequate solutions (what engineers call "kluges") -- like the awkward, injury-prone human spine, good enough but far from perfect -- can stick around indefinitely if better solutions are too far away on the evolutionary landscape."<p>Compare this to the dictum, "Do the simplest thing possible that works."<p>Are "merely adequate solutions " always kluges? I think not.

after being familiar with Jungian psychometrics, a lot of these things seem off. for example, there are personality types that are easily distracted (eg ENFJ), and there are types that are impossible to distract (eg INTJ)<p>that's beside the point of the article, but often reading these things is like watching someone trying to do arithmetic with roman numerals instead of the much more arithmetic-friendly arabic notation

Gah! Infinite recursion.
