Spray-painted subway cars, tagged bridges, mural-covered walls – graffiti pops up boldly throughout our cities. And it turns out: it’s nothing new. Graffiti has been around for thousands of years. And across that span of time, it’s raised the same questions we debate now: Is it art? Is it vandalism? Kelly Wall describes the history of graffiti.

Training Anomalous Cognition with Edwin C. May

source: New Thinking Allowed     2016年8月17日
Edwin C. May, PhD, was involved in the military intelligence psychic spying program, popularly referred to as Stargate, for over twenty years. During the last decade, he was the director of research for that program. In this context, he produced over a hundred scientific publications. His academic training was in experimental nuclear physics. He is coauthor of ESP Wars: East and West and also Anomalous Cognition: Remote Viewing Research and Theory. He is the coeditor of a two volume anthology titled Extrasensory Perception: Support, Skepticism, and Science.
Here he addresses misconceptions about the possibilities of remote viewing training. He states that statistical analysis of the U.S. government’s twenty-year remote viewing project failed to yield evidence that any training methods were successful. At least three different approaches were involved, including the methodology developed by Ingo Swann that has become the basis for several commercial training approaches. Nevertheless, May believes that many tips can aid remote viewers. Furthermore, having a supportive social environment is extremely helpful.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness exploration. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.

Walter Kaufmann: Nietzsche and the Crisis in Philosophy

source: Eidos84    2011年1月7日
"Nietzsche and the Crisis in Philosophy", the second part of Walter Kaufmann's 1960 lecture series. Kaufmann first discusses the general crisis in modern philosophy, before focusing on the important contributions of Friedrich Nietzsche. Kaufmann pictures Nietzsche as a revolutionary heretic and the embodiment of the Socratic spirit. He traces in Nietzsche's works the craving for intellectual integrity, his break with Richard Wagner over the composer's anti-Semitic and anti-French sentiments, and ultimately, his madness, ascribed to having "burned himself out."

Computer Go by Daniel Bump

From the Interactive Media & Games Seminar Series; Daniel Bump, Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University considers the problem of Go programming, why it is difficult, and looks at GNU Go's algorithms. Then he looks at two subsequent subject developments, namely Monte Carlo methods and Deep Learning. Finally, we will review a few moves from the recent AlphaGo-Lee Sedol match.

Warning: This talk contains language that may be offensive to some viewers.
Boston Beer Company founder and chairman Jim Koch visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss his book, "Quench Your Own Thirst: Business Lessons Learned Over a Beer or Two".
In 1984, Koch left his consulting job and started a small brewery in Boston, using a family recipe to create a beer that would start the craft beer revolution in the U.S. His book offers unique insights into the whirlwind ride from scrappy start-up to thriving public company. His innovative business model and frank stories offer counterintuitive lessons that you can apply to business and to life.

Ego Is a Veneer for Profound Weakness | Ryan Holiday

source: Big Think    2016年8月4日
The advertising legend Ryan Holiday, who maintains a humble profile, speaks to the difference between confidence and ego, exposing the latter as a thin veneer concealing weakness. Holiday's book is "Ego Is The Enemy" (http://goo.gl/T5lxKz).

Transcript - One of the things that psychologist talk about is threatened egotism, what happens with someone who has a very strong sense of ego is challenged in some fundamental way. So you can take – one of the stories I tell in the book that I think is interesting is there's this famous encounter between Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin. And in an attempt to intimidate her in a state meeting he had heard that she was afraid of dogs. So he lets a dog come into the room in an attempt at basically to intimidate and to scare her. And so if Angela Merkel had been coming from a place of ego and obviously from fear she's going to react to this sort of petty attempt at intimidation with perhaps an attempt of her own with some saber rattling with any number of these things.
But instead she's got a sense of confidence I would say instead of ego that she's not going to react emotionally to this. She's not going to take it as a threat to her honor. It's not going to escalate into being more than what it is, in fact she ends up making a joke about it and it makes Putin look like the weaker bully in this case. But you can see how a different leader when this is revealed, when this attempt to do something is revealed would react in a dangerous way. You could think of one of the examples they use when they talk about threatened egotism is like a gang member whose honor is impugned, the way that they respond is obviously terrible for both parties involved. They escalate a verbal wound into violence and makes a non-serious situation into a serious one. And so what I'm trying to talk about then is if we have this sensitive ego and we're able to be wounded and instead of looking at that wound and sort of seeing it for what it is, we have to react emotionally. We have to react to compensate for the way that we feel that we've been harmed. It can create really dangerous situations very quickly. And often we think ego is supposed to be strength, but in fact it's a just a sort of veneer for a profound weakness and it's the compensation for that that creates bad situations.
