Steve Sims: Human Motivation, Gamification and Secrets to Creating Successful Behavioral Programs


source: Stanford    2016年8月2日
From the Interactive Media & games Seminar Series; Steve Sims, mediaX Distinguished Visiting Scholar from Badgeville, looks at how when it comes to customer engagement, employee collaboration, productivity and happiness, many companies operate reactively instead of proactively. Management tires of losing top talent or revenue. They seem shocked when their users aren't engaged, progressing or learning, yet they do little to actively prevent it. Customers want to be engaged in the experience and employees want to know their career matters on a personal, company and societal level.

Roberto Mangabeira Unger: The Singular Universe & Reality of Time (Roberto Unger Interview)


source: Philosophical Overdose     2016年8月22日
In this interview, Roberto Mangabeira Unger discusses his 2015 book that he wrote with the physicist Lee Smolin called "The Singular Universe and the Reality of Time"...
Should we rethink the notion that space and time are governed by unwavering laws of nature? Are they better understood as habits, themselves subject to change and evolution? Roberto Unger speaks to Ian Sample about his proposal that time applies to everything, with all the far-reaching implications that has for the universe. In addition, his book is an attack on prevailing theories about the universe and its history, arguing that cosmology should shift its focus from untestable speculations, and back towards the disciplines of science.
Roberto Unger is a Brazilian philosopher and politician. He's also a badass. He has written on many topics, especially political philosophy and the human condition.
If you're interested in any of these scientific and philosophical issues, I recommend checking out his book, it's pretty interesting. It can be found online here: http://www.robertounger.com/english/p...

Have you ever walked into a grocery store and wondered where all the varieties of apples came from? You might find SnapDragon, Pixie Crunch, Cosmic Crisp, Jazz, or Ambrosia next to the more familiar Red Delicious and Granny Smith. So why are there so many types? Theresa Doud describes the ins and outs of breeding apples.

Men and women throughout the world want to provide for their families and ensure their children have a good start in life. Often, the chance to start a business or get a job is the surest way to accomplish this goal. But how can we be sure that women have the same opportunities as men to fulfill their economic potential? The World Bank Group's Women, Business and the Law project presents a unique dataset examining how the law can help or impede women from working and earning an income and what can be done to improve women's economic rights.

Alain Badiou Interview (1-2)


source: Eidos84     2010年10月12日
In a BBC HARDtalk interview broadcast on 24 March 2009, Stephen Sackur talks to French socialist philosopher Alain Badiou. As the world's richest economies plunge deeper into recession could there be a whiff of revolution in the air? Alain Badiou has been an intellectual hero of France's anti-capitalist left since the Paris street protests of 1968. His recent book 'The Meaning of Sarkozy', in which he attacked the French President, has caused a storm in France. But does anyone beyond Parisian café society believe communism is the answer to the current crisis?

Penn Jillette on Libertarianism, Taxes, Trump, Clinton and Weed


source: Big Think     2016年8月20日
Take a deep breath, you're in for a ride. Here is Penn Jillette on Libertarianism, taxes, Trump, Clinton, Sanders, Gary Johnson, sex, drugs and Kurt Cobain. Jillette's latest book is "Presto!: How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales" (http://goo.gl/jJDkz1).

Transcript - Let me lay on you what Libertarianism is to me. Once again I’m speaking for myself which is about as Libertarian as you can get. I do not believe I know what’s best for other people. I also don’t believe that other people know what’s best for other people. I can barely make decisions for myself. I do my best to make decisions for my family. Should my ten-year-old son take music lessons? That’s a hard question for our family. Do you want to push him into it or wait until he really wants it? Those are hard decisions. I have trouble making those for my family so making the decision of what someone else’s job in healthcare should be like who is in another part of the country who I’ve never met is not something I’m qualified or desirous to do. That’s Libertarianism. Libertarianism is taking a right on money and your first left on sex and looking for utopia straight ahead. To me the way I was brought up in western Massachusetts, kind of a New England philosophy. We believed in responsibility and keeping your nose out of other people’s business. We believed in live and let live I think to a fault. My mom and dad were older parents too. My mom was 45 when I was born so I was raised by another generation. You see my mom would be whatever – 120 now or 115 now. A whole other generation.
My mom was born – now you’re going to see that my math is wrong. My mom was born in 1909. She’s dead now. So it’s a whole different generation. And my mom’s feeling about absolutely everything was who cares. Her whole feeling on the gay rights movement was who cares who they want to get together with. It doesn’t matter to me. Her whole feeling on drugs. I have never had a sip of alcohol or any recreational drug in my life. That was true for my mother, true for my father, true for my sister. I don’t know how many generations it goes back but never. And yet my mom always thought that sure, any drug should be legal. If you’re living in a free country do whatever you want. Take responsibility for it. When you tell people about Libertarianism you just tell them we think you should take as little from other people by force as possible. And you should be able to do whatever you think is right. Now that’s a pretty heavy thing I’m saying. Because I’m saying that if there’s an 18-year-old girl who is the greatest math whiz that we have in this country, let’s say she’s the smartest person in math we have anywhere. And let’s say we give her a full scholarship to go to whatever school she wants to go to – Stanford, MIT, wherever she wants to go. And she decides she wants to work at McDonald’s and get pregnant at the age of 19. That’s her decision. Read Full Transcript Here: http://goo.gl/00HG5v.
