🔗 The Illusion of Awareness: Why We See Much Less Than We Think We Do
Looked but failed to see...
This blog post describes the fascinating, recent scientific explanations for why we fail to see things that are right in front of us. Most of the time, it doesn’t matter that we’re failing to see things in front of us. We might sometimes wonder why we just hunted everywhere for our keys, only to find out they’d been right in front of us. But things I’ll describe have some real implications for many aspects of our lives, and are important to understanding how human vision works. In a later blog post, I’ll explain why I think these things are essential to understanding pictures as well.

🔗 محو القاهرة.. تدمير ذكريات المدينة
تتبدل معالم القاهرة سريعا ومعها تنهار ذاكرتنا الجماعية عن المدينة؛ على مستوى المهتمين على الأقل؛ وعندها ستكون المدينة في أضعف حالاتها. إذ يمكن للحكومة وقتها أن تبدل ما تشاء في معالم المدينة، أن تتعامل معها بلا روح ولا أفق يتفهم تراثها. وقتها سنكون خسرنا معركة الذاكرة والحفاظ على تراث القاهرة، لذا لا بد أن تتعالى الأصوات الرافضة للاستهانة الحكومية بالمدينة وتراثها. وأن نسعى لشرحه لغير المتخصصين والعمل على توعية غير المهتمين لتوسيع مدى ذاكرة المدينة وخلق رأي عام رافض بناء على وعي. هنا فقط يمكن أن تكون بداية وقف المحاولات الجارية لمحو القاهرة.
