Yep, I meant to US.
And I think you're spot on (as always; see it's good to have some 'ites as friends).
Sorry for the late response. Life has taken my sm habit from me. Missing the chic trains.. oh the infrastructure envy. It's very real, and I'm saying this as someone from the motor city.

Seems incredibly shortsighted [on our part].
You'd know better than I would, but what examples even are there of "superpowers" following an isolationist approach that didn't eventually lead into direct involvement? (The world wars loom large, but that's because I'm a rube)

For starters, there seem to be pretty compelling arguments against the carpentry idea, in particular. For example, the illusion doesn't require the straight lines so characteristic of carpentry. You can get the same effect with curved lines, dots, or even faces. (5/13)

In our paper, Chaz & I zoomed out & evaluated the hypothesis pretty broadly, bringing together diverse lines of evidence from the cognitive sciences. So.. does culture create the Müller-Lyer illusion? We think: "Probably not". Here's a visual summary of our argument. (4/13)

Next time you complain about the massive growth of the administrative staff in universities understand that much of it is largely to deal with grant administrative activities, management, and reporting.
"A study of federally funded research projects in the United States estimated that principal investigators spend on average about 45% of their time on administrative activities related to applying for and managing projects rather than conducting active research"
