Some people believe that ordinary
people are pretty stupid on the whole and prone to fall into all sorts
of cognitive, visual, aural, tactile, etc., illusions & delusions.
Camp 1. Some people believe the human brain is a remarkably
sophisticated mechanism. Camp 2. Some people are agnostic on the issue
of human stupidity v. human intelligence, and some people are
indifferent to the issue. Camp 3.
I generally belong to Camp 2 -- while believing (as every sensible person should) that people should use whatever tools are available to augment their extant intelligence and capacities (so that they can build trains, planes, computers, etc., and do calculus, play chess, etc.). See, e.g., "Trial by Mathematics - Reconsidered," http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id
Even the NYTimes is beginning to creep (ever so slightly) into this debate. See Christoper Chabris, "Is the Brain Good at What It Does?" http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/books/review/is-
