It does not seem hard for me to contemplate the possibility that modern humans are primarily defined by our intelligence and that our closest relatives had less of it. Of course, as you point out, these developments occur over the course of

Interestingly, the current mating and segregation trends, to the extent they exist, appear to be completely "natural" and lacking in premeditation. Can't help but wonder if modern humans are not the result of a process that l

I first saw this concept in the context of intelligence in "The Bell Curve" by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray (1996). They suggested the process is accelerating dramatically with development of situations that make it e

Me: Do you have more hair on your head or on your eyelash? Goostman: If I say that I haven't more hair on my head or on my eye lash - will it satisfy your inquisitive mind? By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you te

I'm willing to be convinced that Germany dominates in innovation but that would require a definition of 'innovation' and some data. Until then, count me skeptical.

The scanning electron micrograph conveys little information while the chemical structures would have been interesting even to amateur chemists. When new science is inaccessible to citizens that don't want to pay for it twice it should

I'm so tired of the use of profanity in names. Why is this acceptable in this industry?

If a persons fully realized talents, skills, creativity and intelligence are such that the most useful work they can do generates productivity levels below those of generally available robots then they will be displaced. If the maximum work

It seems like these cars will have to be operable in both the manual and self driving modes. Otherwise the car will become much less flexible. Examples: 1) immediate unplanned stop at a yard sale 2) drive "off road" to get around

Again, friendly advice. This attitude guarantees that you will lose all your money. If not shorting TWTR then on the next deal. If the money is burning a hole in your pocket then give it to a worthy charity. If you are interested in the sto

I think the definition of bold may be what is causing the disconnect. The two things I saw on the website that stood out were reduced class sizes and the reinstatement of cancelled programs. I can see how this benefits teachers, but am not

Can you provide some details on the "bold" changes and how they improve education from the students perspective?

What I took from this story was a first hand account of resistance to change. This does not bode well for the ability of specific academic departments to maintain relevance in the years ahead. Experimentation in the best ways to educate has

I can highly recommend Flawless Consulting by Peter Block. He covers all these issues and many others. Self awareness is critical to success. If you are inexperienced you need to be able to recognize/acknowledge your inexperience. Then

I have the utmost respect for anyone that can take their natural (legal) talent, go to a park and turn it into beer/food money in an hour or two. When I met my wife she was substitute teaching occasionally and to make ends meet she wou

Very nice!Thanks. Would be great to have an index so that 1) I can get an overview of what is available and 2) I can view what interests me instead of going through all the content.
