In this academic-themed interview episode of Decoding the Gurus, Matt and Chris sit down to chat with Dorsa Amir and Chaz Firestone (@chazfirestone) about their recent paper 'Is Visual Perception WEIRD? The Müller-Lyer Illusion and the Cultural Byproduct Hypothesis.'In a conversation that serves as a welcome tonic to the endless lamentations of the gurus about academic groupthink and closed-minded silos, Dorsa and Chaz discuss the interdisciplinary nature of their work, debates around universal vs. culturally specific psychology, and the strength of evidence that visual perception varies between cultures. We also learn about the dangers of being STUPID: Studying Topics Uninformed by Prior Investigations in the Discipline, and attempt to uncover just how much Chaz enjoys popping balloons.A fun one that might even leave you a little bit more optimistic than usual!LinksAmir, D., & Firestone, C.

In this thought-provoking episode, Bob Hutchins explores a radical possibility: that we may be witnessing the beginning of the end of humanity's 500-year relationship with the written word. Drawing from media theorists Walter Ong and Harold Innis, Bob examines how generative AI might fundamentally transform not just how we communicate, but how we think and connect as human beings. Since Gutenberg's printing press, we've been compressing the entirety of human experience into alphabetic symbols—a constraint that has both liberated and limited us. While we've become virtuosos of written expression, creating symphonies of meaning from simple letters and punctuation, we've also lost touch with the immediacy and embodied richness of oral culture. Bob argues that AI could serve as more than just a writing assistant—it might become the bridge technology that frees us from the cognitive overhead of translating experience into symbols, allowing us to rediscover richer, more authentic forms of human communication. Key Topics Explored The Gutenberg Legacy How the printing press fundamentally altered human consciousness The trade-offs between abstract thinking and embodied presence Walter Ong's insights on orality versus literacy Media Ecology and Communication Bias Harold Innis's theory of communication bias How different media favor durability versus immediacy The space-biased nature of written civilization The Translation Problem The cognitive burden of converting lived experience into symbols Why meaningful moments often "die in translation" The gap between what we experience and what we can express AI as Liberation Technology How AI might reduce the overhead of symbolic communication The possibility of universal translation between experience and expression Moving beyond AI as writing assistant to AI as cognitive scaffolding Post-Literate Communication Immersive storytelling and embodied performance Collaborative creation and real-time narrative improvisation Visual, spatial, and archetypal forms of expression The return to mythic and symbolic meaning-making The Promise and the Peril Democratizing eloquence for those who struggle to articulate rich inner lives The risk of losing essential cognitive muscles developed through writing Questions of authenticity in AI-mediated communication What happens when written language becomes optional? Two Possible Futures AI as bridge to richer human communication AI as communicative prosthetic leading to human atrophy The importance of conscious navigation during this transition Key Insights "Even at their most transcendent, words remain what they've always been—ghosts of experience, shadows cast by the real thing." "The deepest insights seem to emerge in conversation rather than through explanation, in the spaces where we're figuring something out together rather than delivering prepared thoughts." "How we communicate shapes who we become. If we want AI to help us recover more embodied, authentic forms of expression, we need to be clear about what values we're optimizing for." Questions for Reflection Are we trying to become more efficient communicators or more fully human ones? What would it mean to communicate primarily through embodied presence again? How do we maintain authentic connection when our communications increasingly flow through AI mediators? What practices keep us grounded in embodied experience as AI handles more symbolic communication? About The Human Voice The Human Voice explores the intersection of technology, human flourishing, and authentic communication. Host Bob Hutchins brings together insights from media ecology, contemplative spirituality, and organizational psychology to examine how we can navigate technological change while preserving what makes us most human.

Salespeople have sales tools which often are not thoroughly thought through enough.  These can be flyers, catalogues, slide decks, etc.  They can also be proposals, quotations and invoices.  Usually the salespeople are given the tools as they are and either don't ask for improvements or don't believe the marketing department has much interest in their ideas about the dark art of marketing.  Consequently, there are some areas for improvement which go begging. Flyers, catalogues and slide decks tend to be very evenly arranged.  Every page is basically presented in the same way.  Yet, as salespeople we know that there are going to be certain products which are more popular than others.  These items and corresponding pages should be up the front.  It might mean breaking away from the sectional approach, of all the bits and bobs being collected together in their respective places, separate and cordoned off.  Also, on important pages of these most important products or services, there are bound to be key words or key paragraphs that, over time, we have learnt are of the most relevancy to our clients.  There will also be key data tables, diagrams or photos which should be drawn to the buyer's attention.  Why don't we have marketing do something with this information.  Maybe make the font larger, or add bold or highlight using colour.  This is only a matter of adjusting the layout of the page and getting the next round of printing or soft copy to reflect these updates. Generally speaking, we don't want to be handing our materials over to the client, in the first instance.  We want to spin the item around, so that they can easily read it. With our nice pen we draw their attention to the areas we want them to see.  Not everything on that page has equal value.  Some sections will be more important than others.  They can read the whole thing later at their leisure, but while we are there with them, we want to go through the content  and determine what they need to focus on.  When we leave the materials with them the highlighted areas will draw their attention to where we need them to be looking for information. If this is so easy, why are all the sales materials we see all look the same – flat, undifferentiated and no attempt to direct the eye of the reader?  Everyone has their job.  Marketing is there to produce the materials, but they don't know which are the key sections for buyer purview.  Salespeople are busy running around seeing clients and just take what they have been given.  They never think to make requests to marketing to change the materials. What if the buyers have different interests?  That will be true, but it will also be true that 20% of the key information will suit 80% of the buyers, so we should concentrate on that content.  If there are particular sections which are not highlighted, then we can deal with that problem when we are with the buyer. The other areas for some marketing effort are around how we present quotations, invoices and proposals.  We should be advertising our services or goods on the quotations and invoices.  Key people in the buyer's company will see these materials and here is a chance to get our information in front of them.  If there are soft copies involved this allows us to add links to the website where more information can be found.  QR codes are also good for taking information on a page to a website. Proposals can be very florid or very flat.  Something in the middle is a good idea.  We don't want the presentation of the information overwhelming the messages.  We also don't have to just rely on text. Visual stimulation is very powerful and photos of people are always attractive to us.  This is where we salespeople need marketing's help.  We need someone who has great layout skills and knows how to assemble the look and feel of the pages. Let's rethink our sales materials and ask what more could we get from them?

Picturing Aura: A Visual Biography (MIT Press, 2025) by Dr. Jeremy Stolow is the first book of its kind: an extended historical, anthropological, and philosophical study of modern efforts to visualize the hidden radiant force encompassing the living body known as our aura. This rich, interdisciplinary study by Dr. Stolow chronicles the rise and global spread of modern instruments and techniques of picturing aura, from the late nineteenth century to the present day, exploring how its images are put to work in the diverse realms of psychical research, esotericism, art photography, popular culture, and the New Age alternative medical and spiritual marketplace.At their core, pictures of auras are boundary objects that operate simultaneously in multiple conceptual and practical realms, serving varying goals of making art, healing bodies, and exploring the cosmos. Drawing on extensive archival as well as field research, Stolow reconstructs a global history of this boundary-crossing enterprise through its evolving media technologies, markets, and cultural arenas. It is a story shaped through exchanges among professionals and amateurs, scientists and occultists, countercultural artists and entrepreneurs, metropolitans and hinterland figures. With more than 60 full-color illustrations, Picturing Aura brings to light a remarkable, entangled history of picture-making that challenges settled assumptions about religion, art, and science. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Different species have specific food preferences. Mule deer are browsers, while elk are grazers. Agricultural fields can attract game animals. Current environmental conditions affect food availability. Topography plays a significant role in locating food sources. Satellite imagery can aid in scouting efforts. Identifying less common food sources can concentrate game. Knowledge of animal behavior enhances hunting strategies. Evaluate the availability of food, water, and cover for deer and elk. Microhabitats play a crucial role in animal survival. E-scouting tools can significantly enhance hunting strategies. Understanding animal behavior is key to successful hunting. Grading hunting areas helps in identifying the best spots. Timber cuts and burns can create ideal feeding areas. Visual scouting can complement e-scouting techniques. Identifying unique features in a habitat can tip the scales in your favor. Access to hunting areas can affect animal pressure and visibility.

This week we meet the Australian painter Sarah Hickey whose bold colors radiate through her expansive canvases expressing an internal world of dreaming and reflection through her spirituality and imagination. We hear how Sarah's creative soul was evident in her childhood as she explored a range of visual elements from theater to fashion and iconography. Sarah was born in Brisbane in 1975 and grew up in the surrounding area.  She was educated at Queensland College of Art where she earned a BFA in Visual Art and a BEd at Griffith University. Parents Eileen and Paul gave Sarah and her younger brother Sean the freedom to explore, which enabled Sarah to connect with nature in a spiritual sense—something that is constant in her paintings. While in high school, Sarah visited England, France and Spain when she became enthralled by European artists. After she graduated college she spent time in Germany as a nanny living her own version of her favorite film, The Sound of Music. Sarah was always drawn to teaching and has been a High School Art teacher for 23 years. After her marriage to George Hickey, Sarah returned to her art and has participated in numerous shows and exhibitions, and garnered several awards including The Percival Portrait and Sunshine Coast National Art Prize, The Kennedy Art Prize, Redland Art Awards. Sarah lives in Brisbane with her husband George and dog Molly.Sarah's website: https://sarahhickey.com.au/Instagram:@sarahhickeyart Some of Sarah's favorite artists:Frida KahloLucy Culliton (Australian painter)Clairy Laurence (sculptor)Laura Jones (Australian painter)Yvette CoppersmithJulie FragarJudith Nangala CrispinOlivia Godbee Alicia Cornwell Penelope Boyd Wendy Sharpe Host: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosFollow @theaartpodcast on InstagramThe AART Podcast on YouTubeEmail: theaartpodcast@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wisp--4769409/support.
