Super Sonic speeds are rather remarkable. Notice that the water is being disrupted. I’m sure I would need to cover my ears in this situation.
Bill Gates & Elon Musk In China
This presentation is quite interesting from a variety of perspectives. Most controversial on China versus US governments, Bill Gates basically described an experimental-led model for western democracy over the existing adversarial model of western democracy….testing in business should be applied to government…kind of obvious but I don’t see the political elite talking about the future of government.
Elon Musk argues that are too many lawyers in the US. He also points out quite a few fascinating points regarding technological change. In particular, the electric car revolution is not going to happen over night. That’s because there are 15.6 million cars sold every year while there are 256 million cars on the road currently, you should not expect cars to be completely replaced in the next 20 years by definition. Meanwhile, Bill Gates one ups Musk pretty much every single time a point is made.

Train Your Mind To Do Anything You Need It To
Richie Davidson’s talk at Google is rather boring but his findings are important. Meditation is not some weakling activity. It is critical for top performance and for brain workouts. Since the brain is plastic or maliable, we need to approach improving ourselves through neoroscience.
In the future, we will treat mental exercise as just as critical as physical exercise. Mental exercise will make cultures that adopt healthy minds the optimised ones that shape all of humanity.
Neuroplasticity:
the brain is built to change in response to experience. It is clear that the intentional deployment of mental strategies can transform our cognitive and emotional self. The Newtonian conception of genetics is that you have a set ability and that is it. That you can’t change your brain….this is false. Through purely mental practices, you can change the way your brain and body perform tasks. Can we voluntarilty enhance compassion? Yes, of course we can. Meditation makes you feel better and be so full of joy.
The Anterior Insula:
It’s part of the brain that contains a topical map of the body. So this region communicated to the different parts of the body. The meditative pros can actually communicate to their body parts.
Temporoparietal Junction:
the ability to adapt another persons perspective and those who are advanced meditators have a more developed TPJ: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporoparietal_junction
Dictator Game:
Training your brain to process thoughts and allow thoughts to enter and exit your mind without issue is highly powerful. A mindfulness trained person actually has better performing brain power + cellular structure. The rest is detail….
No Man’s Sky | Is It Really That Great?!
Is the science behind this game more of a marketing angle rather then something original. If the math is kind in the fractal pattern? The game doesn’t appear allow for the evolution of mathematical formulas….
