From the Ted Talk by Mariano Sigman: Your words may predict your future mental health

Unscramble the Blue Letters


The algorithm also identifies that we organize concepts in a hierarchy. So for inasntce, you can see that the sictifinec trems break down into two subcategories of the astronomic and the physics terms. And then there are very fine things. For instance, the word astronomy, which seems a bit bzrarie where it is, is actually exactly where it should be, between what it is, an actual science, and between what it describes, the astronomical terms.

And we could go on and on with this. Actually, if you stare at this for a while, and you just build random trajectories, you will see that it actually feels a bit like doing pteory. And this is because, in a way, walking in this space is like walking in the mind.

Original Text


The algorithm also identifies that we organize concepts in a hierarchy. So for instance, you can see that the scientific terms break down into two subcategories of the astronomic and the physics terms. And then there are very fine things. For instance, the word astronomy, which seems a bit bizarre where it is, is actually exactly where it should be, between what it is, an actual science, and between what it describes, the astronomical terms.

And we could go on and on with this. Actually, if you stare at this for a while, and you just build random trajectories, you will see that it actually feels a bit like doing poetry. And this is because, in a way, walking in this space is like walking in the mind.
