We are not yet able to understand and "set" in our models the complexity of the "qualitative objects" that build, day by day, our "human being experience". And, at the same time, (from article) <<Many researchers fail to consider that their measurements of brains, behavior and self-reported experience are profoundly influenced by their subjects’ culture, class and experience, as well as by the situation in which the research is conducted>>. This is terribly true. So the same “parameters” that we use [we choose] in our models can be totally different, I can say sometimes “personal”, transforming “the level” of “science” : ) that who built the tool believed on it.
<<…The tools of hard science have a part to play, but they are far from the whole story…>>
So <<The tools of mathematical and statistical and scientific analysis are invaluable. But their quantifiable certainty is all too easy to see as the only “real” way of doing things when really, it is but one tool and one approach—and not one that is translatable or applicable to all matters of qualitative phenomena. That’s one basic fact we’d do well not to forget>>.

Thinking on how some “ideas” and their models acted and act on the role that markets (financial markets) have in our connected world, this could be a good element of reflection.

In comments  to the Facebook post of this article in the Scientific American magazine facebook page,  I found this one from Saiid Yari:
<<Science tells you how to clone a dinosaur; humanities tells you why that might be a bad idea>>.
I like to “translate\evolve” this comment in this way:
Science tells you how to clone a dinosaur; “humanities” tells you what advantages and disadvantages could be exist for Humanity or better only “humanities”  will drive you in new “models and analysis” to understand them…

Life is not only an “explanation” [analysis, paradigm] but also a set of “choices” with their different “tones of humanity”

Virtual Arena on “Thermopylae pass” , August 15, 2012 on 09:30 a.m. my time is different
I am a simple “robot” (see my Facebook photo – Atom robot in Real Steel movie).
For this I am so attracted from Human Beings Emotions.
