Anatomist, architect, botanist, city planner, chef, humorist, engineer, equestrian, inventor, geographer, geologist, military scientist, musician, painter, philosopher and raconteur, Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) helped bring the Western world out of the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. Now his approach to optimizing human potential is more relevant than ever.
Thinking Like Einstein
Einstein asked, “What would it be like to ride light?” For perhaps the hundredth time, I try to think like Einstein. A burst of light is seen by two observers: one stationary on a platform, the other moving in a train. Assume the speed of light is the same for both observers. That’s it, that’s all you need to change forever our understanding of space, time, matter, and the universe. We think of meditation as following the breath, but for Einstein meditation was following thought. The Dalai Lama writes often about “analytic meditation.” As I work through each step inwardly from both points of view – stationary and moving – I encounter a paradox, a contraction. A second kind of meditation should then be joined to the first, says the Dalai Lama. And now I’ll return to the burst of light for the 101st time. -Arthur Zajonc President

Pavle Močilac: Farmaceutska industrija i ljekarništvo – zlo ili naopako
Je li farmaceustka industrija zla hidra koja nas želi zatrovati i za to uzeti novac? Je li ljekarništvo samo trgovina koja ne preza ni od čega, koja prodaje homeopatiju i razne šarlatanske proizvode? Gdje je tu zdravstvo i briga za pacijenta? Jesu li lijekovi samo obmana kako se u posljednje vrijeme priča? Zašto su ljekarnici u permanentnom sukobi interesa?
