The Psychologist's View of UX Design
You may have heard this story about an elephant:
A king brings six men into a dark building. They cannot see anything. The king says to them, "I have bought this animal from the wild lands to the East. It is called an elephant." "What is an elephant?" the men ask. The king says, "Feel the elephant and describe it to me." The man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a pillar, the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope, the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch, the one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan, the one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a wall, and the one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid pipe. "You are all correct", says the king, "You are each feeling just a part of the elephant."
The story of the elephant reminds me of the different view of design that people of different backgrounds, education, and experience have. A visual designer approaches UX design from one point of view, the interaction designer from another, and the programmer from yet another. It can be helpful to understand and even experience the part of the elephant that others are experiencing.
I'm a psychologist by training and education. So the part of the elephant I experience applies what we know about people and how we apply that to UX design. I take research and knowledge about the brain, the visual system, memory, and motivation and extrapolate UX design principles from that.
This article is a snapshot of the psychologist's view of the elephant.
1. People Don't Want to Work or Think More Than They Have To
- People will do the least amount of work possible to get a task done.
- It is better to show people a little bit of information and let them choose if they want more details. The fancy term for this is progressive disclosure, which I wrote a blog post about recently.
- Instead of just describing things, show people an example.
- Pay attention to the affordance of objects on the screen, page, or device you are designing. If something is clickable make sure it looks like it is clickable.
- Only provide the features that people really need. Don't rely on your opinion of what you think they need; do user research to actually find out. Giving people more than they need just clutters up the experience.
- Provide defaults. Defaults let people do less work to get the job done.
2. People Have Limitations
- People can only look at so much information or read so much text on a screen without losing interest. Only provide the information that's needed at the moment (see progressive disclosure above).
- Make the information easy to scan.
- Use headers and short blocks of info or text.
- People can't multi-task. The research is very clear on this, so don't expect them to.
- People prefer short line lengths, but they read better with longer ones! It's a conundrum, so decide whether preference or performance is more important in your case, but know that people are going to ask for things that actually aren't best for them.
3. People Make Mistakes
- Assume people will make mistakes. Anticipate what they will be and try to prevent them.
- If the results of an error are severe then use a confirmation before acting on the user's action.
- Make it easy to "undo."
- Preventing errors from occurring is always better than helping people correct them once they occur. The best error message is no message at all.
- If a task is error-prone, break it up into smaller chunks.
- If the user makes and error and you can correct it, then do so and show what you did.
- Whoever is designing the UX makes errors too, so make sure that there is time and energy for iteration, user feedback, and testing.
4. Human Memory Is Complicated
- People reconstruct memories, which means they are always changing. You can trust what users say as the truth only a little bit. It is better to observe them in action than to take their word for it.
- Memory is fragile. It degrades quickly and is subject to lots of errors. Don't make people remember things from one task to another or one page to another.
- People can only remember about 3-4 items at a time. The "7 plus or minus 2" rule is an urban legend. Research shows the real number is 3-4.
5. People are Social
- People will always try to use technology to be social. This has been true for thousands of years.
- People look to others for guidance on what they should do, especially if they are uncertain. This is called social validation. This is why, for example, ratings and reviews are so powerful on websites.
- If people do something together at the same time (synchronous behavior) it bonds them together—there are actually chemical reactions in the brain. Laughter also bonds people.
- If you do a favor for me then I will feel indebted to give you a favor back (reciprocity). Research shows that if you want people to fill out a form, give them something they want and then ask for them to fill out the form, not vice versa.
- When you watch someone do something, the same parts in your brain light up as though you were doing it yourself (called mirror neurons). We are programmed with our biology to imitate. If you want people to do something then show someone else doing it.
- You can only have strong ties to 150 people. Strong ties are defined as ties that with people you are in close physical proximity to. But weak ties can be in the thousands and are very influential (à la Facebook).
6. Attention
- I am beginning to think that the whole idea of attention is a key to designing an engaging UI. I'll write more in future articles about that. Grabbing and holding onto attention, and not distracting someone when they are paying attention to something, are key concerns.
- People are programmed to pay attention to anything that is different or novel. If you make something different it will stand out.
- Having said that, people can actually miss changes in their visual field. This is called change blindness. There are some quite humorous videos of people who start talking to someone on the street (who has stopped them and asked for directions) and then don't notice when the person actually changes!
- You can use the senses to grab attention. Bright colors, large fonts, beeps, and tones will capture attention.
- People are easily distracted. If you don't want them to be distracted, don't flash things on the page or start videos playing. If, however, you do want to grab their attention, do those things.
7. People Crave Information
- Dopamine is a chemical that makes people seek… food, sex, information. Learning is dopaminergic—we can't help but want more information.
- People will often want more information than they can actually process. Having more information makes people feel that they have more choices. Having more choices makes people feel in control. Feeling in control makes people feel they will survive better.
- People need feedback. The computer doesn't need to tell the human that it is loading the file. The human needs to know what is going on.
8. Unconscious Processing
- Most mental processing occurs unconsciously.
- If you can get people to commit to a small action (sign up for a free membership), then it is much more likely that they will later commit to a larger action (e.g., upgrade to a premium account).
- The old brain makes or at least has input into most of our decisions. The old brain cares about survival and propagation: food, sex, and danger. That is why these three messages can grab our attention.
- The emotional brain is affected by pictures, especially pictures of people, as well as by stories. The emotional brain has a huge impact on our decisions.
- People's behavior is greatly affected by factors that they aren't even aware of. The words "retired", "Florida," and "tired" can make even young people walk down the hall slower (called framing).
- Both the old brain and the emotional brain act without our conscious knowledge. We will always ascribe a rational, conscious-brain reason to our decision, but it's never the whole reason why we take an action, and often the rational reason isn't even part of the reason.
9. People Create Mental Models
- People always have a mental model in place about a certain object or task (paying my bills, reading a book, using a remote control).
- The mental model that people have about a particular task may make it easy or hard to use an interface that you have designed.
- In order to create a positive UX, you can either match the conceptual model of your product or website to the users' mental model, or you can figure out how to "teach" the users to have a different mental model.
- Metaphors help users "get" a conceptual model. For example, "This is just like reading a book."
- The most important reason to do user research is to get information about users' mental models.
10. Visual System
- If pages are cluttered people can't find information. Use grouping to help focus where the eye should look.
- Things that are close together are believed to "go" together.
- Make fonts large enough. Use fonts that are not too decorative so they are easy to read.
- Research shows that people use peripheral vision to get the "gist" of what they are looking at. Eye tracking studies are interesting, but just because someone is looking at something straight on doesn't mean they are paying attention to it.
- The hardest colors to look at together are red and blue. Try to avoid red text on a blue background or vice versa.
- People can recognize objects on a screen best when they are slightly angled and have the perspective of being slightly above (canonical perspective).
- Color can be used to show whether things go together. Be sure to use another way to show the same info since some people are colorblind.
So, what's your description of the elephant?

Great article. It mirrors and compliments similar statements in Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by R. Cialdini.
I think you're forgetting one key point.... sometimes it's more marketable to make something a bit of a chore to understand... something they can work for.
nice article! i have several pages of notes now to re-read and help with my design process. well researched and documented!
Great article. Will bookmark it, print it, and fuse it into my brain for reference.
Interesting question Justin, and interesting answer Susan. What factors affect the paradox situation. Can one set up framing to avoid such a paradox? I wonder if the same set of options presented using two different themes / skins / styling results with the same amount of overwhelmingness.
I imagine the points of this guideline could be put to use, playing on some of the points, like color and giving examples, large fonts, breaking large content into chunks, etc, would make all the difference in alleviating, or at least minimizing, the amount of users falling within the paradox.
I love reading stuff like this, where design and development skills merge with the inner workings of humans in order to achieve a forced or predicted outcome / experience. Truly fascinating!
Excellent article!
Susan - excellent framework for a diverse set of UX considerations and standards. I also appreciate the links into the research you cite and examples. I'm sure I will be leveraging this in the future with clients and colleagues.
One item I would question, however, is that "People can only remember about 3-4 items at a time." My experience, having tested hundreds of users on this, is that the number can be larger than 3-4 in certain contexts. For example, I have seen users easily remember upwards of seven steps in an online process where those steps align well with existing 'real world' processes (i.e., booking a business trip or onboarding a new employee).
I'll be sending to my psych board and all those people who don't understand why a Masters Psych Grad like me is in IT!
It also provides some great ideas for my next presentation of undergrad psych students!
Justin -- It is a paradox. People feel that they will have control if they have choices, so they want the choices, but when they actually have the choices in front of them, then they don't know what to do and hence do nothing.
Well done! One of the best UX guidelines I have ever seen.
I used alot of metaphors in the past to communicate these exact lessons: http://commadot.com/best-of-commadot/
Nice work.
Great stuff Susan, wonderfully practical tips that can be taken away immediate and put into use.
One question: you stated that "Having more choices makes people feel in control." How does this affect the "paradox of choice" phenomenon, where users have a harder time choosing when presented with more choices?
Is it simply a matter of balance?

Discord At Supreme Court Is Deep and Personal
Please enter your comments below.
Of course there will be tension.
People are noticing that Scalia and Thomas are completely unqualified for bail bondsman, to say nothing of Supreme Court Justices. Would you want to work with people of that caliber?
An open letter to 30 million Americans.
Dear countrymen: Republicans want to deny you the opportunity to get a medical checkup. They also want to disenfranchise you and take away your Constitutional right to vote. They're quite craven. Remember them in November.
THIS IS NOT THE COUNTRY I GREW UP IN. WHEN I WAS A CHILD GROWING UP ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE OF BUFFALO IN THE 60S AND 70S I REMEMBER FEELING THAT WE WERE SUPERIOR AND INVINCIBLE AS WE STOOD "ONE NATION UNDER GOD". WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GREAT COUNTRY THAT THE WORLD RESPECTED AND REVERED? WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO "GOD"? HAVE PEOPLE FORGOTTEN THE PRINCIPLES THIS COUNTRY WAS UPON? SHAME ON OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS FOR BRINGING US DOWN TO THIS LEVEL, AND SHAME ON US FOR BEING SELFISH AND THINKING ONLY OF OURSELVES INSTEAD OF THE GREATER GOOD AND PUTTING THESE PEOPLE IN OFFICE. AND WHY IS HILLARY CLINTON APOLOGIZING TO PAKISTAN?REALLY?!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? ALL I KNOW IS THIS IS NOT MY COUNTRY AND BARAK OBAMA IS NOT MY PRESIDENT.SHAME,SHAME, SHAME! BUT IN SPITE OF IT ALL I AM TENACIOUS AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DEBATE AND DEFEND MY BELIEFS AND MY PARTY(REPUBLICAN)TILL THE DAY I DIE , WHICH WITH OBAMACARE MAY BE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER DEPENDING ON WHAT MALADIES BEFALL ME.i' 49 YEARS OLD AND THE MOTHER OF 6 WONDERFUL REPUBLICANS,THEY WERE RAISED RIGHT
So Why are Liberals So Rigid?
So we have a conservative (Kennedy) that sometimes side with the liberals and in this case, a conservative Chief Justice even sided with the liberals. Does anyone ever wonder why NO liberals ever have to shift his/her position? Why are they so rigid?
Dictating mandates is "Dictatorship"
Claiming someone will be denied medical treatment if we don't have Obamacare is a lie. What will change? I contend that most of the uninsured simply can't afford insurance. Most workers with insurance pay a significant portion of the cost. Unions and government employees are amoung the few that get it almost for free. If the poor could afford medical insurance they would have it. What magic has occurred that will suddenly allow them to afford it now. Where will these same poor get the money to pay the fine. The government will get it from the taxpayers and give the treatment for free and require doctors to take a reduced payment. Why should they be required to do that? Roberts didn't vote on the Constitutionality of this law, as is required of the Justices, he determined how it has to be paid for to make it Constitutional. How to pay for things is not part of the powers granted to the Supreme Court. What and how to pay for something is the sole power of the Congress (Senate & Legislature). He should be ashamed of him self and so should all the other Justices that voted for this for the same reason. This law has to be repealed. Let us not forget that the power to repeal is also granted to Congress.

Magnum Photographers
The Non Conformists
View photo details
September 23, 2013
by Martin Parr
In 1975, fresh out of art school, Martin Parr found poor footing in the London photography scene, so he moved to the picturesque Yorkshire Pennine mill town of Hebden Bridge. Over a period of five years, he documented the town in photographs, showing in particular the aspects of traditional life that were beginning to decline.
Susie Parr, whom he had met in Manchester, joined him in documenting a year in the life of a small Methodist chapel, together with its farming community. Such chapels seemed to encapsulate the regions disappearing way of life. Here Martin Parr found his photographic voice, while together he and Susie assembled a remarkable and touching historic document.
The Non-Conformists takes its title from the Methodist and Baptist chapels that then characterized this area of Yorkshire and defined the fiercely independent character of the town. In words and pictures, the Parrs vividly and affectionately document cobbled streets, flat-capped mill workers, hardy gamekeepers, henpecked husbands, and jovial shop owners. The best Parr photographs are interleaved with Susie Parrs detailed background descriptions of the society they observed.
The exhibition is presented alongside the exhibition 'Only In England' by British photographer Tony Ray-Jones, which includes 50 never before seen photographs from the series curated by Martin Parr. The pairing selection forms a major new exhibition which demonstrates the close relationships between the work of these two important photographers.

Senate Ways and Means panel approves casino bill
The bill, which would ultimately legalize video lottery and table gaming in New Hampshire, is scheduled to go through the Senate Ways and Means Committee with recommendation Tuesday morning.
Officials from Rockingham Park in Salem are already hoping to obtain the lone casino bid should SB 152 pass, with Salem residents to offer further input via a nonbinding casino referendum on the March 12 Town Meeting ballot.
The proposed bill includes a provision for the casino's host community to receive 3 percent of revenues earned, which town officials estimate could total up to $4.3 million annually. Local selectmen have already voiced unanimous support for expanded gambling in their hometown, while Gov. Maggie Hassan has likewise voiced her support for the bill.
Morse is one of three local legislators sponsoring SB 152, along with Sens. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, and James Rausch, R-Derry.
He told selectmen Monday night that money from casino revenue would be a huge tax boon for the local community and would also assist the state with the expansion of Interstate 93.
"It's a win-win for Salem and also for New Hampshire," he said.
The senator further noted that the pending legislation also offers provisions for future funding for human services programs, including those aimed at helping those with gambling addictions.
"I honestly believe if there are social costs, they're already here today and right now in New Hampshire, the services aren't there to deal with that," Morse said. "But we'll get no revenue and all the expenses if this doesn't get passed."
"Honestly, Rockingham is just sitting there and this is the perfect opportunity for New Hampshire. It's $130 million in (state) revenues if this passes," he continued.
Morse said a Salem casino would expand the local tax base by around 10 percent.
"I think there's a huge benefit to the town of Salem. The charities already know that," he said. "We all need to get out and vote on this next week. This is the very first time we've had support from a governor, and I need a strong vote from Salem to move this forward."
He said he expects strong support from Senate Ways and Means Committee this week, though perhaps a mixed response from the House later this year.
"The negative people always tend to speak a little louder," Morse said. "Honestly, I think it could be a challenge for Salem to get a license, but we still should be fighting for it."
Selectman Michael Lyons said he sees few other viable economic development options for that area of Salem.
"We've got 150 acres with its own exit off the highway," Lyons said. "But right now the options are very, very limited. The ship for retail has already sailed."
Selectman Stephen Campbell further noted that the casino could serve as a potential source of funding for local school projects - something worth considering since upgrades to Salem High School may loom on the horizon.
"Certainly the property tax portion of this would be a boon for the school district," he said.
State Rep. Gary Azarian, R-Salem, noted that if Massachusetts passes gaming and New Hampshire doesn't, the state would also lose revenues totaling several hundred million on potential "overflow" tax revenue from expansions to area hotel and restaurant offerings.
"The upside is great and the downside is even greater," Azarian said.
Azarian said "around 60 percent" of the local representatives favor the casino.

So let's have a bit of a recap, because it looks like there are some new readers here from Simple Kids. Hi, Simple Kids new people! Here's what you need to know: I have two daughters, E and L, and a lovely husband. The girls are less than two years apart and the older one is only three-and-a-half (never forget the and-a-half). And I'm pregnant.
We live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC and I work in government, one perk of which is that my workplace boasts an on-site daycare. So, the girls commute with me, and they are just down the hall from me if any of us need or each other or anything exciting is happening. The lovely husband works elsewhere and sometimes, like this week, that's nowhere near us at all.
I love a good story, but this is not where I post fairy tales. If I write here about my girls, it really happened. It's just another suburban family life but I'm enchanted with it. These day-to-day moments I write about: these are the stories that ultimately matter the very most.

Don't remember the details, though this one had something to do with EVH.
Nice pics, but there are a few people who love the SE One.........
One pickup, one control. Great guitar.
This one?
For some reason I personally can't visually pass the single pickup/single knob thing. I understand why some people don't have a need for a second pickup but they look like Kid/Toy guitars to my eyes.

Murky Metaphysics
Robert P. Imbelli October 2, 2013 - 8:33am
At the conclusion of his three sessions with Pope Francis, the editor of La Civiltà Cattolica, Father Antonio Spadaro, commented: "In truth ours has been a conversation more than an interview." I suspect that Eugenio Scalfari, the founder of La Repubblica and the Cardinal-dean of Italian "laicità," would say the same of his encounter with the irrepressible Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
Aside from the particular ecclesiastical issues that have so absorbed the Press, both secular and religious, I find intriguing the more personal exchanges that made the session a real conversation. Thus, at a certain point, the Jesuit professor turns the tables and addresses the professional journalist:
But now let me ask you a question: you, a secular non-believer in God, what do you believe in? You are a writer and a man of thought. You believe in something, you must have a dominant value. Don't answer me with words like honesty, seeking, the vision of the common good, all important principles and values but that is not what I am asking. I am asking what you think is the essence of the world, indeed the universe. You must ask yourself, of course, like everyone else, who we are, where we come from, where we are going. Even children ask themselves these questions. And you?
And Scalfari replies:
I am grateful for this question. The answer is this: I believe in Being, that is in the fabric from which forms, bodies arise.
The Pope-Professor does not let him off the hook that easily and presses the issue: "But can you define what you call Being?"
The Italian rationalist (remember his professed devotion to Descartes) leaps blithely into the murky metaphysical ocean:
Being is a fabric of energy. Chaotic but indestructible energy and eternal chaos. Forms emerge from that energy when it reaches the point of exploding. The forms have their own laws, their magnetic fields, their chemical elements, which combine randomly, evolve, and are eventually extinguished but their energy is not destroyed. Man is probably the only animal endowed with thought, at least in our planet and solar system. I said that he is driven by instincts and desires but I would add that he also contains within himself a resonance, an echo, a vocation of chaos.
And the Pope, eying the smartest student in the class, responds drily:
All right. I did not want you to give me a summary of your philosophy and what you have told me is enough for me.
perhaps thinking to himself: it's a beginning; now I know my dialogue is with a disciple of Lucretius.
In the conversation with Father Spadaro, Pope Francis uttered the self-identification that echoed throughout the world: "I am a sinner." But perhaps more self-revealing than that piece of heart-felt piety was his admission: "I am a little astute, a little naive" -- "un po furbo, un po ingenuo."
The very competent translators for America render "furbo" as "astute." But it seems to me that in ordinary usage "furbo" denotes something more. Perhaps "slyly clever" – dare one say: "Jesuitical." In any case there is more going on in the conversation than the misleading headline in La Repubblica (Pope to Scalfari: "I Will Change the Church") begins to suggest. Perhaps, proselytizing aside, the Pope may want to challenge and change the self-professed atheist – at least "un po."
Commenting Guidelines
As I was reading Scalfari's response to the Pope's question as to what he means by "Being" I found myself thinking, "Here is someone profoundly shaped in his metaphysical views by Star Wars." I am sure he is a very intelligent person, but his answer is the murkiest bunch of hooey I've read since... well, the last time I made the mistake of asking a first-year undergraduate to engage in metaphysical speculation.
Give me Aristotle... or Kant... or even Whitehead anyday.
Fritz - I agree!
I think this comment is pertinent to this discussion - [when it comes to metaphysics, I'm never really sure what people are talking about]:
Francesco saying "Remember that the Church is feminine" ... Reminds me of a wise old Holy Cross Brother at ND long ago who once announced to our class: "Gentlemen, always be a spiritual Semite. Always, remain metaphysically feminine."
When is metaphysics not murky? It's not as if no one has ever made objections to scholastic philosophy and its talk of form, essence, accidents, act, potential and on and on.
I can't work up much fervor for a fabric of energy. Maybe it depends on who's wearing it.
Yes, Scalfari is a latter-day Lucretius. The sum of the cosmos-reality-Being that he describes is the world of the materialists in Nagel's "Mind and Cosmos", i.e., atomism with a modern substrate of energy with the whole ending in pointless evolution,
Although the Pope states in the interview with Scalfari that he's not seeking to convert his interlocutor, I think the Pope is up to the challenge if opportunities arise, though time is of some essence if the Pope hopes to move Scalfari off his philosophical materialism and back to his Christian grounding...Scalfari is 89. ;)
Depends on what you mean by challenge. It's clear that Francis is not interested in proselytizing. He has repeatedly denounced it.
A lucid account of the difference between "proselytism," which Francis and, apparenlty, Benedict have both eschewed, and "evangelization" (new or old) would be very useful.
I have never understood why proselytizing is supposed to be bad. If you truly believe that your faith is a great gift, wouldn't it be selfish of you not to want ot share it? Yes, some proselytizers can be bothersome when they demand our attention and we have indicated we're not interested, but so what?
I can understand Jews' objections to Christian proselytizing -- in the past if a Jew didn't convert he/she at best was ostracized into ghettos. But there aren't ghettos anymore.
I agree with M.B. that it would be useful to have an authoritive statement of the difference between prolelytism and evangelism, especially if we are going to shun one but do the other.
It seems to me that both of those men, once they were comfortable, started to feel out the other's position as a prelude to whatever you call it, even though both had earlier denied the thought. They remind me of the old guys in Little Havana (Scalfari is 89) bantering as they set up the checkers under a palm tree. "Nice, nice. But I'll win."
I also agree with Matthew Boudway.
And are we out to prove that the Pope bested the muddled Scalfari? More hosannas?
John Page, I scored it a draw from my side of the ring. No real punches thrown or intended. No blood. But that's just Round One. As I said earlier, there doesn't seem to be any punch in "fabric of energy," but Scalfari is a cagey veteran. He'll have more than he showed so far. Ditto Pope Francis. I love it.
"Furbo" is one of those Italian words I've had great difficulty in understanding. Sometimes it's used with quite a pejorative intent, at others with at least partial admiration. "Astute" and "sly" seem to get in sometimes.
Now if only someone could tell me how to use (and understand) the phrase "meno male," which also seems to be used in all sorts of situations and contexts.
I am still trying to take in the style of this new pope of ours. The theological content of those conversations will not go down in history, so what are they really about? His morning homilies are sometimes wonderful and sometimes less so. Is the pope out to demystify the papcy, showing himself as a regular guy? Showing that he is not someone to whose every word we ought to be suspended as though they were directly divinely inspired words from an infallible oracle? He's cheapening his words by speaking so easily, at such length, with so much improvisation, but maybe it's all right that way. His words are not timeless but for the present, in the current context. Maybe it's on purpose, to make it a real dialogue: this way, we won't take him quite so seriously. He is more free to say what goes through his mind at the moment, being imprecise on occasion, and we will be more free to contradict him, which I suspect he might enjoy.
Proselytizing is what "they" do; evangelizing is what "we" do.
Maybe what Pope Francis means by "proselytizing" is the sort of accusatory preaching that some preachers and proselytizers do which sends everyone to Hell who doesn't join thier church. There was also the sort of "religious" program that gave food to starving Chinese if they converted. The latter were called "rice Christians". I don't know if there actually were any such programs or any rich Christians, but the phrase was used in the 30's when China was still open to Christian missionaries.
Those sorts of things are truly awful.
If we find such metaphysics "murky", just consider what they might think of an otherwise astute person claiming to really believe that 2000 years ago a man was God, that he came back to life 3 days after death, and that his body had disappeared from the tomb. That is where dialogue ends: when I claim to litterally believe something that they find patently absurd. In their minds it puts me in the same category of those who think that the universe was created 5000 years ago and that God planted dinosaur bones in the ground to test us. I'd be careful before calling someone's beliefs naive...
A couple of initial thoughts on evangelization vs proselytism:
* To evangelize is, in its essence, to proclaim - in this case, to proclaim the Good News of the kingdom of God. The goal of the proclamation is that the Good News be heard, so that it may transform those who hear it. Note that it is what is proclaimed - the Good News - that bears the power to transform lives. This helps us understand why it is that people who are not particularly gifted orators nor particularly attractive people nonetheless can be extremely effective evangelizers. It is not the messenger; it is the message.
* Those who already are disciples also continually need to be evangelized - we need to have the Good News proclaimed to us, too. For example, a parent needs to help her children understand the Good News, even though the children may be initiated into the community of disciples already.
* To proselytize, in my view, is to recruit - to recruit *away* from something *to* something else. Proselytizers seek to get someone to join "our group" or "our side", which presupposes another side who is not in the club. Thus, those who proselyize frequently are those who are particularly persuasive. Young, attractive, articulate people often are chosen to proselytize, whether it is in the world of organized religion, or politics, or corporate sales and promotion.
Because they shake their head and give up.
Well, I distinctly remember a conversation with a colleague about kids. Kids (and even students, as you might know) always have the wrong kind of religious faith: too much or too little, too indifferent or too involved, too disconnected or too credulous, too attached to rules or too detached from rules... There's always something for parents to worry about, so we can have a dialogue about our worries about our children, comforting one another for our respective worries. Then suddenly my colleague turned to me, as if he had a revelation, and asked with real concern: "You don't actually believe that the man named Jesus literally resurrected from the dead after 3 days, and that the tomb was literally empty, do you? It's all symbolic language, it's a fine symbol. But you don't really believe that it happened literally like that, do you?" I hesitated, then I answered that yes, I did. He, who had known me for many years and knew me well, was so surprised! He shook his head, mumbled something about how he could never understand the people who denied the existence of dinosaurs, that it was just impossible to have any kind of rational discussion with them, and we left it at that.
But that moment struck me. We thought we were close, but we were really so far apart. What a distance we are from those who cannot even conceive of our faith! The chasm seems impossible to cross. At least not with mere talk. Maybe with actions, life, prayer, grace... but not with talk, at least, I don't see it.
Dialogue starts when both sides agree on something. Two people agree that Caravaggio is a heck of a good painter. Or they agree that the county desperately needs an ordinance that criminalizes cheating employees out of their pay. They talk about Caravaggio and other painters they really like. Or they lobby a county commissioner together. Then one turns to the other and says, "What do you really see in his religious art?" Or, "Why are you doing this?" So they talk about their views. Which lead (usually sometime) to their childhoods. Which leads back to how they view the state of the Union. Which leads, maybe, to why they care. Which leads, finally, maybe, to a God who dies and comes back to life. Which leads to, "Do you really? Why?"
By the way, I don't think that is prosteltyzing. I remember a Unitarian looking at a summary sheet on Catholic social teaching and saying, "Hey, my Unitarian friends would love this. May I have a copy?" That is not where the conversation started. (It started with a wage theft ordinance.) If we start with, "In the beginning, God...," yes, we'll get: "You mean that guy with the gray beard giving the finger to Adam? Ho ho ho."
Claire, I'm sorry. Your story came up while I was writing my story, so I didn't see it. But I don't see that your colleague has said his final word. You do believe the dinosaurs walked this world, don't you? If he respects your views on other things, he has to deal with the fact that someone he usually agrees with doesn:t believe in dinosaurs, You can disabuse him of that notion and go on from there.
But I'm interested in suggestions about how to bridge the chasm. Pope Francis and Scalfari's conversation is not enlightening for me in that respect.
Yes, of course I believe that dinosaurs walked this world. (Although maybe "belief" is not the right word since there is no leap of faith). But for many people the Christian faith is as incomprehensible as beliefs that dinosaurs never existed, only dinosaur bones created by a whimsical God.
Matthew Boudway: The WCC has made this distinction between evangelism and prostelyzism:
Proselytism is "the corruption of witness". On the surface, proselytism may appear as genuine and enthusiastic missionary activity; and some people involved in it are genuinely committed Christians who believe that they are doing mission in Christ's way. It is the aim, spirit and methodology of this activity which make it proselytism.
Some of the characteristics which clearly distinguish proselytism from authentic Christian witness are:
- Unfair criticism or caricaturing of the doctrines, beliefs and practices of another church without attempting to understand or enter into dialogue on those issues. Some who venerate icons are accused of worshipping idols; others are ridiculed for alleged idolatry towards Mary and the saints or denounced for praying for the dead.
- Presenting one's church or confession as "the true church" and its teachings as "the right faith" and the only way to salvation, rejecting baptism in other churches as invalid and persuading people to be rebaptized.
Portraying one's own church as having high moral and spiritual status over against the perceived weaknesses and problems of other churches.
d) Taking advantage of and using unfaithfully the problems which may arise in another church for winning new members for one's own church. - Offering humanitarian aid or educational opportunities as an inducement to join another church.
- Using political, economic, cultural and ethnic pressure or historical arguments to win others to one's own church.
- Taking advantage of lack of education or Christian instruction which makes people vulnerable to changing their church allegiance.
- Using physical violence or moral and psychological pressure to induce people to change their church affiliation. This includes the use of media techniques profiling a particular church in a way that excludes, disparages or stigmatizes its adherents, harassment through repeated house calls, material and spiritual threats, and insistence on the "superior" way to salvation offered by a particular church.
- Exploiting people's loneliness, illness, distress or even disillusionment with their own church in order to "convert" them.
How do these recent discussions between Francis and a liberal/non-religious person differ significantly from those of Martini and Eco? I am, of course, choosing to ignore the significant fact Francis is the Pope.
Being is a fabric of energy.
Fine, and the energy came from...Whom, exactly?
It seems to me that the basic issue here is absurdity. Is it truly absurd to believe there is a God/man who rose from the dead and won Heaven for sinners? Or is it absurd to believe that there is only one sort of basic reality (matter) which makes up the universe, and its actions are determined only by its own inner physicals laws?
It's sad but true that the intellectual leaders of the West since the Enlightenment have mainly been scientists or brainy people of scientific bent. They, for historical intellectual reasons, generally came to believe that not only is materialism true, but also that the idea that there might be an all powerful Spirit who coul raise people from the dead is not only false but utterly ludicrous, a product of ancient and medieval superstition, and anyone who still believes in a spiritual dimension must be basically stupid or enslaved by outworn religious belief. It's my rationality against your rationality, and the tribes are ready for war.
There are, of course, a lot of reasons to be appreciative of contemporary science. But today's scientists generally are ignorant of the philosophical underpinnings of science itself. in other words, they do not understand *why* their explanation of the world is only one alternative explanation among others. They naively do not realize that they have built their beautiful intellectual edifices on sand.
HOwever, all is not lost. For some time now a few courageous philosophers of science have challenged the simple-minded presupposiitons of contemporary materialist scientists. That is, for the first time in hundreds of years, philosophers of science and even some scientists themselves have starting to ask philosophical questions about the justifications of science, and their conclusions are very upsetting to the materialist scientists. (Again, see the Nagel controversy that has been raging since last year.)
If you're interested in the philsophical issues that are being raised about contemporary scientce, Edward Feser has another good comment on his blog today about one of Nagel's more rational critics, Philip Kitcher.
Yes, the intellectual times are 'achanging -- a bit, anyhow. At least some of the opponents are starting to talk to each other civilly.
I should add that Scalfari's description of his own world-view is a fine example of the contemporary philosophy of contemporary. What encourages me about the interview is Scalfari's almost childlike excitement at meeting the Pope (it shows at least an emotional opening to the Church). That Francis wanted to meet with him is also very enouraging for anyone who cares about the honorable skeptics.
I should also add that Benedict too was interested in dialogue with the agnostics and skeptics. Too bad he didnt' believe in dialogue within the Church.
John Haught's "Darwin's Nagging Doubt" in the current issue of Commonweal is timely with respect to the conversation between the Pope and Eugenio Scalfari, especailly Scalfari's explanation about his atheist beliefs. While recognizing that Thomas Nagel has essentailly no interest in theological explanations for the universe, Haught nevertheless applauds Nagel for his criticism of philosophical materialism as providing a fully rational explanation of the presence of consciousness in the cosmos. According to Haught,
"Materialists, both ancient and modern, believe that lifeless and mindless 'matter' is the ultimate origin and final destiny of all that exists. Nagel claims that when materialist belief is alloyed with evolutionary biology, as is usually the case today, it only clouds our understanding of life. 'Evolutionary naturalism,' as Nagel labels the materialist slant on the story of life, is not science but a spurious nonscientific interpretation of science. Instead of illuminating evolution, materialism only dulls our understanding of it. It reduces living things to lifeless elements and in effect denies that when life and mind emerged in cosmic history anything truly new or revelatory was happening.
This muddling becomes especially evident, Nagel argues, in materialism's failure to explain satisfactorily how 'mind'—evolution's most exquisite outcome so far—came into being from an utterly mindless universe. Moreover, if, as materialists believe, minds are reducible to physical stuff that has been blindly shuffled and reshuffled by a long and mindless evolutionary process, why—as Darwin wondered—should we assume these same minds can lead us to a correct understanding of anything?"
To me the great irony of contemporary atheistic materialism is that their greatest intellectual heroes -- Galileo and Newton were both believers. Galileo remained a Catholic even though the Pope put him under house arrest during his last years. And Newton, who believed in God, explicitly rejected a totally mechanistic world. The other of their greatest heroes, Einstein, didn't believe in a personal God but did believe that some sort of intelligence put order in the world.
To get the attention of a world leader such as the Pope is a heady experience which may or may not signal a true openness for dialogue. Pope Francis evangelizes always, using words when he must. Scalfari may be of an age when salvation/what's next issues are suddenly paramount. Even scientific materialists can find themselves lost in their own inability to provide all encompassing , explanatory principles. For Francis, I suspect, it was a truly pastoral moment.
An interesting development.

NH delegation urges caution on Syria
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the "international community" must respond to the Syrian government's use of chemical warfare against its own people, while Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte called the attacks "deplorable," adding "the President's red line has been crossed again."
Obama is reportedly weighing a limited strike in terms of scope and duration. Senior administration officials told the Washington Post it would probably last no more than two days and involve sea-launched cruise missiles.
Shaheen "believes that the Assad regime must be held to account by the international community for the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians, including Syrian children," said her spokesman, Shripal Shah. "She is not in favor of U.S. troops on the ground in Syria. She believes we must be extremely cautious before using force in this unstable region."

Very nice pies! Have you tried a room temp fermentation before and compare it with your usual cold ferment? Marlon
Yes it's definitely worth trying so you can compare the pros and cons. Try reducing yeast to 0.03-0.04% (it's a very small amount, maybe, half a gram or so for 12 dough balls) and ferment for at least 24 hrs at 60-65F then ball.
There were some heating imbalances in the oven and I got some excessive charring. Not sure if the ferment had something to do with that as well?
Nick,How long was you preheat time and did you get a floor temp?
Nick, do you always oil your dough after balling? Have you tried without oil? The flour you use during the stretching of the skins will cling to that oil underneath the dough and easily burn at Neapolitan temps, IMO. That could have also contributed to the excessive charring you experienced. Marlon
more pizza. The last photo is a tester. On halloween, I'm gonna try selling some pizza at a bar. It's a 7" veggie pizza (three toppings). Any suggestion on a price?

D.R. Council asked to stiffen fire, smoke rules
The Dell Rapids City Council is being asked to revisit its nuisance laws after a resident complained he has no way to stop his neighbors from lighting fires that waft smoke onto his property.Longtime Dell Rapids resident Russ Miller lives on the 400 block of east Ninth Street. His neighbors, he told aldermen Monday night, regularly use a recreational fire pit in their back yard and he's concerned about the effect the smoke is having on his family's health."If someone is having a fire pit next door, and smoke is coming over into my property, into my air space, that is hazardous to my health and I would like to have a city ordinance in place so that can be rectified by a law enforcement officer," he said.Existing code doesn't prohibit the burning of fires in city limits, only what can be burned – burning anything but wood in a fire pit or stove is illegal.Miller said wood smoke is toxic, just like tobacco smoke, and warrants the attention of City Hall."Wood smoke is a second hand smoke just like tobacco is a second hand smoke," he said. "Wood smoke is actually more toxic than tobacco smoke. It is a carcinogen and actually causes cancer."Making fire pits illegal isn't Miller's end goal, he said. Rather, he wants wood smoke added to the city's list of nuisances, which includes dead animals, accumulating garbage and burning garbage."It's like a person having a dead animal in their yard. That is a nuisance because of the smell. Smoke is a nuisance because of the smell also," Miller said. "If you can smell wood smoke, you're breathing pollution that is hazardous to your health."But city officials are skeptical that further regulation of fire pits and the smoke they produce is feasible or enforceable.Mayor Scott Fiegen said many Dell Rapids residents enjoy fire pits in their backyard, use in-home fireplaces and some even heat their homes with wood-burning stoves, which can easily be smelled during the winter months. "How would you separate a fire place from a fire pit? Because you can easily smell a fire place burning from the outside just like you can a fire pit," he said.Alderman Mark Crisp agreed."The wife and I walk the dog regularly year round and there are a few homes in our neighborhood that heat their homes with wood and you can smell it for blocks," he said. "And it didn't bother us, it's kind of a neat smell."The council took no action, but is expected to revisit the topic at a future meeting.In the last 11 years, the city council has considered beefing up its rules regarding fire pits and smoke nuisance on three occasions. Each time city officials declined to reform its ordinances.

To speak of Summit County's heritage is to speak of the native people who first lived here, the pioneers who came afterward and also today's inhabitants, who live in connection to the larger world community and the land.Telling that story - through words, songs and images - is "Circle of Dreams," a special multimedia experience created and performed by Leon Joseph Littlebird, Len Rhodes and Jeff Shook with a choir of Summit County youth and adults Sunday in Dillon. "The stories introduce the songs and the songs themselves tell stories, supported by multimedia images choreographed to give visual images," Littlebird said. "The original music, inspired by nature, is performed on guitar, native flute, piano, keyboard and percussion with the voices of twenty children and six adults in the choir."A nationally touring artist voted "Best Entertainer" in Summit County, Littlebird is excited to perform at home again after a two-year hiatus. "So many people have asked when I would perform here again and this is a very special show that I wrote to thank everyone for their years of support," he said. "This is truly a unique experience unlike any other musical performance, with authentic roots here in Summit County."Littlebird collaborated on the project with Rhodes, who is not only the pianist, keyboardist and music director for Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church, but also the musical director and arranger for the nationally acclaimed production, "One Night with Janis Joplin." "Len Rhodes and I have been working on the arrangements and performing the songs for months to prepare for this show," Littlebird said. "Len's expertise on the piano and as an arranger lends so much to the music itself. The combination of instruments, percussion and voices creates incredible texture of sounds that go beyond just entertainment and become edification."Littlebird and Rhodes are joined by world percussionist Jeff Shook of Villa Grove Trade - nicknamed "the grooviest place on earth") - who collaborated on the visuals with Littlebird and brings the percussion to Sunday's show. Then there are the "One World Voice" singers, comprised of local youth and community members, who have been preparing for the concert as part of a performance workshop series through Summit Music and Arts, which is producing the show. "The format is inspired by the ancient tradition of storytellers teaching children about life," Littlebird said. "The underlying message is the creation of a world at peace - respect for the planet and compassion for all life beginning here with us. The entire experience is a celebration of our lives here and around the world, our connection to nature and to each other."

HUSTLE & FLOW director Craig Brewer takes the helm for this remake of the popular 1984 musical romance about a big-city teen who moves to a town that has outlawed dancing. Uprooted from Boston and reluctantly transplanted to the small Bible Belt town of Bomont, Ren MacCormack (Kenny Wormald) finds himself in a repressed community still reeling from a devastating loss. Shortly before he arrived in Bomont, five local teens perished in a tragic car accident following a local dance. As a result, the upstanding Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) and the local councilmen passed a strict ordinance outlawing both dancing and excessively loud music. Convinced that the new law is hopelessly misguided, rebellious Ren puts on his dancing shoes and wins the heart of Reverend Moore's distraught daughter, Ariel (Julianne Hough), while showing his fellow classmates that it's perfectly normal to blow off a little steam with some loud music and good friends.
