Prisioner A Prisioner B
In the situation where we found two prisioners, which where suspects of a crime, and where locked up, there where three situations planted. The first situation was totell the police if the other was guilty, and that way the one who speak will go free, the second situation was for both of the suspects talk, and that way they would both recieve a sentence, but not as harsh as if only one was to talk, and the third option was that none of them would say anything and they would both go free with no charges.
The situation is very hard, because none of the suspects know what the other is going to say, so if one of them decides not to talk, he will be running the risk that the other one will speak, so he will recieve the harsh sentence. So I think the most logic thing to do is to both of them speak so they will both recieve a smaller sentence.

the gene machine
Vocab.
Behaviour: the trick of rapid movement which has been largely exploited by the animal branch of survival machines. (pg 47.)
Neurones: are basically just cells, with a nucleus and chromosomes like other cells. But their cell walls are drawn out in long, thin, wirelike projections. Often a neurone has one particularly long wire called the axon. (pg 49)
Axon: Although the lenght of an axon is microscopic, its length may be many feet: there are single axons which run the whole lenght of a giraffe´s neck. Axons are usually bundled together in thick multi stranded cables called nerves. (pg 49)
Purpose Machine: is the machine or thing that behaves as if it had a conscious purpose, is equipped with some kind of measuring device which measures the discrepancy between the current state of things, and the desired state. (pg 50)
List of things defined as rewarding:
Sweet taste in mouth, orgasm, mild temperature, smiling child.
List of nasty things:
various sortos of pain, nausea, empty stomach, screaming child. (pg 57)

how to select an article to publish?
To select the correct article to publish, there are many factors we need to take care of.
Take a look to the table of context and index, to find out what the authors point is. Be careful whether the article is offering facts that work with your credibility and are clear. You also need to determine if the content is about opinion, facts, or propaganda. Do you think there is enough evidence offered? Is the language objective or emotional? Notice if the author uses good priamary and secondary sources. Be careful with your credibility towards the author is it anonymous?
