For many years, we humans have bench-marked ourselves against machines without even realizing it. Many scientists believe that humans really are just machines. Nick Chatrath sharply disagrees and says that the age of AI is going to demand that humans be more human than ever before. He insists that we’ve never needed a bridge between science and the humanities more than we need it right now. This extends to all aspects of leadership and organization from startup companies to institutions and governments.

The internet TOTALLY JACKED UP the racket the guys at Amway corporation had been running for years.

It’s hard to imagine this today, but for about 20 years the kingpins of Multi-Level Marketing had managed to hide the fact that product sales were merely a legitimizing front-end for what was really just a big giant book, tape and seminar business.

I was drinking the pink koolaid full strength. But then in 1998 a guy named Sidney made a website called “Amway Untold Story” that exposed what was really going on. It delivered a TON of information that was otherwise unavailable.

But there were a couple of problems with it: Read more »

Paul Nelson of the Discovery Institute blogged about my interview with Joana Xavier lamenting that we did not fully endorse intelligent design. This created a perfect opportunity for us to sit down and talk with Paul in person and discuss our agreements and differences.
 
Here we explore the gray zone between “life is a miracle” and “no miracles allowed” and we ask the question: How can a design paradigm enhance medicine and science research? Joana Xavier is a researcher at University College London and is a staff member with Evolution 2.0.

Since I’m in the marketing profession I have a few comments about this. There is a marketing lesson that even a person who neither knows nor cares about the techie stuff can learn from (and non-techies can learn a great deal from this debate just by watching Denis Noble, observing how he handles himself).

The debate was both cordial and revealing. One thing that is quite clear from this debate is that Dawkins’ knowledge of biology and genetics lags 20-30 years behind current research.

Jenny Davis was diagnosed with cancer at age 37, despite excellent diet and exercise regimens. Here we talk about her recovery from colon cancer, and it vividly illustrates the dragon we need to slay.
