Knowledge Doubling Every 12 Months, Soon to be Every 12 Hours
Knowledge Doubling Curve Buckminster Fuller created the “Knowledge Doubling Curve”; he noticed that until 1900 human knowledge doubled approximately every century. By the end of World War II knowledge was doubling every 25 years. Today things are not as simple as different types of knowledge have different rates of growth. For example, nanotechnology knowledge is doubling every two years and clinical knowledge every 18 months.

Economia della felicità
Con economia della felicità si intendono tutti quegli studi che tentano di comprendere quali siano le cause economiche del benessere delle persone: lavoro, reddito, modello di consumo. Studi che si stanno rivelando, oltre che originali nelle loro conclusioni, anche potenzialmente utili per la definizione della politica economica delle nazioni. Con politica economica si intendono gli interventi dello Stato volti ad indirizzare l’economia di un paese verso obbiettivi prefissati. In assenza di dati empirici che permettano di definire le preferenze dei cittadini, l’unico modo per definire queste preferenze risiede nella visione antropologica delle forze politiche al potere. Così è stato per moltissimo tempo, ma adesso sono disponibili metodi di rilevazione e dati sulla felicità delle persone e sulle sue cause. E questo ha dato un forte stimolo agli studi sulla felicità, anche in ottica di politica economica. Effetto negativo sulla felicità avrebbero disoccupazione e inflazione.

Noam Chomsky on the Purpose of Education
by Maria Popova On the value of cultivating the capacity to seek the significant. In this talk based on his presentation at the Learning Without Frontiers conference in January, philosopher, linguist, and cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky — easily one of our time’s sharpest thinkers — discusses the purpose of education. Despite the slow pace and the cheesy AfterEffects animated typography, the video is a treasure trove of insight on everything from the role of technology to the pitfalls of policy. On the industrialization of education, echoing Sir Ken Robinson’s admonition about its effects on creativity: There have been many measures taken to try to turn the educational system towards more control, more indoctrination, more vocational training, imposing a debt, which traps students and young people into a life of conformity… That’s the exact opposite of [what] traditionally comes out of The Enlightenment. On technology: Technology is basically neutral. On the whimsy of inquiry: ↬ @openculture
Neil deGrasse Tyson: Why You Will Never Find Scientists Leading Armies Into Battle
In the exclusive extras below, the beloved science rock star talks about his childhood curiosity about the universe, Carl Sagan, and his experience on 9/11 in downtown Manhattan. On discovering the stars as a child, on a family trip to the Hayden Planetarium. “The stars came out, and I was hooked. How could you not be? On not trying to fill Carl Sagan’s shoes. “The Sagan influence was not his delivery. On his experience on 9/11 in downtown Manhattan, and why “you will never find scientists leading armies into battle.” “It was an odd kind of—I may have been the closest scientist to that event. “Any time scientists disagree, it’s because we have insufficient data.

This Guy Stopped Charging Clients And He Has Zero Regrets
That guy there, with the incredibly cute baby, is a Philadelphia web designer named Adrian Hoppel. A couple of years ago, he decided that working a traditional job was "toxic." This, of course, can be an inconvenient realization for an adult with a family. There are various societies and groups in which "gifting" is already commonplace, like the yearly Burning Man festival. Except, of course, the pressure of earning a living. Most clients gifted me with payment, and the payment is more than I ever received in the traditional model, which was based on negotiation and the lowest bid wins, instead of the Gift model which is based on mutual respect and fairness.Working in the gift does not mean that I work for free, or that I give my work away without care. But can a person pay their bills when they don't send an invoice? HuffPost: Let's start with the basics: when did you get started with your current business and why did you decide to do it? But I felt awful, hollowed out and bitter.
