Seth Godin on Singularity 1on1: Science Fiction is Really Important But ...





i don't think doing work for profit is part of being human
idea of jobs is temporary.. 
economics is based on scarcity. ie: if there's enough food, then the idea of working to get food to eat goes out the window 
 a full-out human - a human totally present in the moment - when we culturally admire people who are being human - that's what we admire them for - doing things with hubris

Medical researchers, especially prominent ones, tend to be passionate people, with a laser-like focus on their work.  Getting them to collaborate with other groups of people can be a challenge.  Convincing them to work with an artificial intelligence like Watson?  Much more difficult.

Dr. Chin sees a need to shift from provider centric care to patient centered care and she believes technology and data can help.  She told me, “Rather than wait for Darwinian evolution to happen, why not create an integrated infrastructure, from hardware and software to data and analytics, that can disrupt the thinking and center care around each individual patient.
scale the individual ness

Her new focus is at the other end of the spectrum from a top cancer center like MD Anderson—improving treatment of diabetes and obesity in Cameron county in South Texas, one of the poorest areas in the nation.  Here, rather than working with complex diseases, her task will be improving access to care for the most underserved patients.

Those few leaders are the “makers,” Paul Ryan explained in 2010; the majority of Americans are “takers.” The more it becomes evident that the “trickle down” theory of wealth has not worked– that rather than trickling down, wealth has rushed upward since 1980– the more leading Republicans insist that the problem is not their theory. The problem, they say, is that it has not been adopted fully enough.
Americans have soured on supply-side economics, but that hasn’t changed who runs the country. When opponents demand economic fairness, Republicans respond by accusing them of being anti-American “Liberals” or minorities looking for a handout. When rhetoric isn’t enough, Republicans gerrymand districts and manipulate the electorate to stay in power even without a popular majority

he idea that water-boarding and other “harsh interrogation” produced the intelligence that led to bin Laden (as in the fictionalized movie Zero Dark Thirty) is completely fabricated.

One thing you’ll learn about Musk as you read these posts is that he thinks of humans as computers, which, in their most literal sense, they are. A human’s hardware is his physical body and brain. His software is the way he learns to think, his value system, his habits, his personality. And learning, for Musk, is simply the process of “downloading data and algorithms into your brain.” Among his many frustrations with formal classroom learning is the “ridiculously slow download speed” of sitting in a classroom while a teacher explains something, and to this day, most of what he knows he’s learned through reading.

By contrast, a major factor driving increasing costs is the constant expansion of university administration. According to the Department of Education data, administrative positions at colleges and universities grew by 60 percent between 1993 and 2009, which Bloomberg reported was 10 times the rate of growth of tenured faculty positions.

..there are no valid arguments to support the recent trend toward seven-figure salaries for high-ranking university administrators

RT @DanSilverSARF: @indy_johar My article on how policy needs to embrace the everyday, still relevant I think:shrd.by/r5vOS4
In this daily and often invisible struggle, it is the everyday actions of people who are marginalised from political decisions that can be the most creative and lasting.
I think this brings hope. It connects with Edgar Pieterse’s concept of ‘radical incrementalism’. This is the idea that alternatives can be produced through everyday practices, which aim for an improvement in people’s immediate circumstances, but also lay the basis for building upon that for even greater change in the future. Over time this can lead to cumulative transformations that contribute towards a more equitable future and re-awaken our imaginations.
By embracing the everyday, a brighter future is possible.

This must be what Rilke, too, had at heart when he exhorted us to live the questions. And yet if there is one common denominator across the entire history of human culture, it is the insatiable hunger to know the unknowable — that is, to know everything, and to know it with certainty, which is itself the enemy of the human spirit
Because much of Nature remains hidden from us, our view of the world is based only on the fraction of reality that we can measure and analyze. 
Science, as our narrative describing what we see and what we conjecture exists in the natural world, is thus necessarily limited, telling only part of the story… We strive toward knowledge, always more knowledge, but must understand that we are, and will remain, surrounded by mystery… It is the flirting with this mystery, the urge to go beyond the boundaries of the known, that feeds our creative impulse, that makes us want to know more.
Gleiser notes that while modern science has made tremendous strides in illuminating the neuronal infrastructure of the brain, it has in the process reduced the mind to mere chemical operations, not only failing to advance but perhaps even impoverishing our understanding and sense of being. He admonishes against mistaking measurement for meaning:
There is no such thing as an exact measurement. Every measurement must be stated within its precision and quoted together with “error bars” estimating the magnitude of errors. High-precision measurements are simply measurements with small error bars or high confidence levels; there are no perfect, zero-error measurements.

error bars et al...which we can't know either... right..?

The more we know, the more exposed we are to our ignorance, and the more we know to ask
This unsettled existence is the very blood of science.
