GYM MOTIVATION - AMAZING BODY TRANSFORMATION - 15-17 YEARS OLD. The Last President of The People (Nuffrespect) Richard Dawkins letter to his 10 year old daughter (how to warn your child about this irrational world) The following is a letter that Richard Dawkins wrote to his daughter when she turned 10. Richard is one of the worlds most renowned scientists who is known for speaking out against the dangers of religion.

To my dearest daughter, Now that you are ten, I want to write to you about something that is important to me. Have you ever wondered how we know the things that we know? Sometimes evidence means actually seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling….) that something is true. Often evidence isn’t just observation on its own, but observation always lies at the back of it. Scientists – the specialists in discovering what is true about the world and the universe – often work like detectives.

The way scientists use evidence to learn about the world is much cleverer and more complicated than I can say in a short letter. First, tradition. The trouble with tradition is that, no matter how long ago a story was made up, it is still exactly as true or untrue as the original story was. Your loving, Daddy.

The History of Nikola Tesla - a Short Story. THE 10 INVENTIONS OF NIKOLA TESLA THAT CHANGED THE WORLD. Nikola Tesla is finally beginning to attract real attention and encourage serious debate nearly 70 years after his death. Was he for real? A crackpot? Part of an early experiment in corporate-government control? We know that he was undoubtedly persecuted by the energy power brokers of his day — namely Thomas Edison, whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius. He was also attacked by J.P. Besides his persecution by corporate-government interests (which is practically a certification of authenticity), there is at least one solid indication of Nikola Tesla’s integrity — he tore up a contract with Westinghouse that was worth billions in order to save the company from paying him his huge royalty payments.

But, let’s take a look at what Nikola Tesla — a man who died broke and alone — has actually given to the world. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9 and 10. Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased. As they state: Sources : Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived. Additional notes from the author: If you want to learn more about Tesla, I highly recommend reading Tesla: Man Out of Time Also, this Badass of the week by Ben Thompson is what originally inspired me to write a comic about Tesla. Ben's also got a book out which is packed full of awesome. There's an old movie from the 80s on Netflix Instant Queue right now about Tesla: The Secret of Nikola Tesla. It's corny and full of bad acting, but it paints a fairly accurate depiction of his life.

The drunk history of Tesla is quite awesome, too. History.com has a great article about Edison and how his douchebaggery had a chokehold on American cinema. X-rays: just to clarify, Tesla did not discover x-rays, but he was one of the early pioneers in its research. Terence Mckenna - Schizophrenic or Shamanic? You Are Here To Wake Up. Be part of the change. The Art of Sustainable Development. Einstein said that we can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking used when we created them. Wise words, except few people heed them when it comes to sustainable solutions for our ailing planet. Despite decades of scientific research into everything from air pollution to species extinction, individuals are slow to act because their passions are not being ignited.

For Paul Shrivastava, the Director of the David O’Brien Centre for Sustainable Enterprise at Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business (JMSB), combining science with the arts will bring about the passionate implementation of sustainable development. “No significant human endeavour has ever been accomplished without passion. In a forthcoming article in the International Journal of Technology Management, co-authored by colleagues from the University of Lorraine and the ICN Business School in Nancy, France, Shrivastava argues that art is a survival instinct.

This article was originally published in the first issue of Monthly Review (May 1949). It was subsequently published in May 1998 to commemorate the first issue of MR‘s fiftieth year. —The Editors Is it advisable for one who is not an expert on economic and social issues to express views on the subject of socialism? I believe for a number of reasons that it is. Let us first consider the question from the point of view of scientific knowledge. But historic tradition is, so to speak, of yesterday; nowhere have we really overcome what Thorstein Veblen called “the predatory phase” of human development.

Second, socialism is directed towards a social-ethical end. For these reasons, we should be on our guard not to overestimate science and scientific methods when it is a question of human problems; and we should not assume that experts are the only ones who have a right to express themselves on questions affecting the organization of society.

Life Lessons | Waking Life Transcript - Chapter 3. (Philosophy professor Robert Solomon, at the University of Texas at Austin) The reason why I refuse to take existentialism as just another French fashion or historical curiosity is that I think it has something very important to offer us for the new century.

I'm afraid we're losing the real virtues of living life passionately, sense of taking responsibility for who you are, the ability to make something of yourself and feeling good about life. Existentialism is often discussed as if it's a philosophy of despair. But I think the truth is just the opposite. Sartre once interviewed said he never really felt a day of despair in his life.

Thoughts on the inevitable transition period--and ideas that are threatening it.

The financial crisis becoming known as the Great Recession is an interesting one for many reasons. One of its most compelling aspects is the tendency to highlight the absurdity of capitalist systems, or indeed, any monetary system. Things like bureaucracy, law, and money have usurped moral words that once had a great deal of spiritual meaning; words like freedom, liberty, justice, rights, and criminal.

Criminals, for instance, are thought of as a very specific group of people who share the common characteristic of somehow betraying their community. Obviously, the definition fits very few ‘criminals’ who find themselves spending their youth behind bars. And with all these words and ideas flying around, there seems to be an awful lot of arguing about what exactly words mean or what someone’s stance is or what it should be, not to mention all the name-calling and gossip.

The second one (I believe it would work much better) is far more subtle than an aggressive change in government. Michio Kaku - Top Secret Military War Plans. World Peace is Coming! - A Self-Aware World. What is Online Community | YouTube's biggest collaboration | Myles Dyer. L. Steven Sieden: When Politics Became Lethal. "All politics are not only obsolete but lethal. " - Buckminster Fuller Although Bucky Fuller was extremely optimistic about humankind's future, he was also certain that many of our cherished institutions no longer serve our global needs. Among his targets of obsolescence were politics, organized religion and the military, and he was quick to point out that our world had recently gone through a massive paradigm shift that he had predicted decades earlier. Bucky began taking an inventory all global resources in 1937, shortly after he had an intimate meeting with Albert Einstein. His inventory was conducted well before the advent of computers or even calculators.

Still, he discovered that each time resources are recycled we add knowledge to them, thereby allowing us to do "more with less. " Then, he predicted that we would continue expanding this "more with lessing" so rapidly that we would reach a point when there would be enough resources to support all humankind.
