Jennifer A. Lewis, "3D Printing: Making the Future"

source: Harvard University    2016年8月31日
3D printing enables one to rapidly design and fabricate materials in arbitrary shapes on demand. I will introduce the fundamental principles that underpin 3D printing techniques. I will then describe how new functional and biological materials are vastly expanding the capabilities of 3D printing. Finally, I will highlight several emerging examples, including 3D printed electronics, lightweight composites, and vascularized tissue constructs, that demonstrate how this (still) nascent technology is being used to make the future.

Race, Criminal Justice and Health | The Forum at HSPH

source: Harvard University    2015年2月11日
The focus on racial injustice in the US – particularly the effect of race on criminal justice – has been in the public spotlight following the tragic deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Eric Garner on Staten Island, and Tamir Rice in Cleveland during encounters with law enforcement. While these inequities play out in numerous areas, health and well-being is one sector in which minority groups are dramatically and disproportionally affected. This Forum event examined how disparities within the law and the criminal justice system negatively affect health in members of minority groups — as well as how the role of race interacts with neighborhood environments, educational and employment opportunities, public policy, and other factors to lead to poorer health in minority populations.
This event was presented February 6, 2015 in Collaboration with Reuters.

Cyberchondria: Do Online Health Searches Prompt Symptoms (and Worse)? | Mary Aiken

source: Big Think    2016年9月1日
1% of all Google searches are health queries. Cyberpsychologist Mary Aiken explains how artificial intelligence diagnostics lead to psychosomatic symptoms, and potentially explain the fourfold increase in iatrogenic death in the US since 1999. Aiken's book is "The Cyber Effect: A Pioneering Cyberpsychologist Explains How Human Behavior Changes Online" (http://goo.gl/A3qbwb).

Transcript - I’m sure everybody knows somebody who searches health related information online. Well there’s actually a name for it and it’s called cyberchondria. Cyberchondria is defined as anxiety induced by escalation during online search to review morbid or serious content. So what does this mean? Well it means that you have a headache and you end up reading about brain tumor. And there’s a very good reason behind it. Humans have a propensity to escalate, to review the worst possible scenario probably to dismiss it. So come back to the headache. If you went to your doctor and you said I have a terrible headache and your doctor said well, you could have anything from a hangover to a brain tumor. You would say oh my goodness, talk to me about the brain tumor. And essentially that’s what happens online. People click on the worst case scenario and therefore those scenarios get driven up the search rankings. So the point about search it’s based on a frequency model, things that are frequently clicked are those things that actually rise to the top of search results. That’s fine if you’re looking at best beach in Florida but when it comes to health related matters it’s problematic. Why? Because it causes anxiety and you could be perfectly well but end up with a nasty case of health anxiety as a result of search. Read Full Transcript Here: http://goo.gl/sV5N3Z.

Will Butler-Adams joined Brompton Bicycles in 2002, became a director in 2006 and took over as the MD in 2008 - he came into Google's London office to discuss innovation, leadership, the cult of Brompton’s folding bikes and how his company reacts to ever changing consumer demands. Filmed in London, July 2016.

About Brompton Bikes
The unique Brompton folding bike was designed and built in London in 1975 by Andrew Ritchie in his flat in South Kensington opposite the Brompton Oratory. Still made in London today, Brompton is making over 45,000 bikes per year and is the UK’s largest bike manufacturer.

The Philosophy of Spinoza & Leibniz (Subtitles Available)

source: Philosophical Overdose    2016年8月30日
Bryan Magee and Anthony Quinton discuss the 17th-18th century philosophers Spinoza and Leibniz. Both were rationalists who developed elaborate philosophical systems out of only a few basic principles of logic/reason, but ended up with quite different views. Spinoza was a monist and pantheist. He identified everything with one substance, what he called "God or Nature", and understood everything as a mere aspect or mode of this great unity of existence. Thus, there is ultimately only one true entity or being for Spinoza. He also rejected free will, any personal conception of God, as well as purpose within the world, leading many to think of him as an atheist. Leibniz, on the other hand, embraced plurality in his metaphysical system. He posited an infinite array of indivisible substances he called "monads" which were immaterial, incorporeal, mind-like points. Since these were taken to be fundamental, Leibniz was something of an idealist or panpsychist. The existence of matter was taken to be derivative, a mere appearance of something ultimately mental or quasi-mental in nature. And like Spinoza, he was also a determinist who thought that everything had to have a cause and complete explanation, leaving no genuine room for objective randomness or chance. Both thinkers were extremely influential, not only on other philosophers, but on scientists as well.

This interview is from a 1978 BBC program. Subtitles/transcript is available. This is a re-upload which has much better quality. I just fixed it so that the audio and video don't go out of sync. In any case, this is a very good introduction to Spinoza and Leibniz, and is definitely worth checking out.

The Spectral Revolution with Jason Reza Jorjani

source: New Thinking Allowed    2015年11月19日
Jason Reza Jorjani is a philosopher and faculty member at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is author of Prometheus and Atlas.
Here he describes how humankind often confuses the technological worldview of scientific theory with reality itself. Jorjani maintains that we have become mesmerized by the specters of the ancient, Greek Titans Prometheus and Atlas whose myths foreshadowed the rise of science and technology. Jorjani describes the “spectral revolution” as one in which humanity awakens to the dimensions of consciousness outside of the scientific and technological domain. In particular, he urges study of the paranormal. He believes that if we properly understand the nature of Prometheus and Atlas, we have the ability to foster a new culture that honors the depths of mind in nature.

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). His master's degree is in criminology. He serves as dean of transformational psychology at the University of Philosophical Research. He teaches parapsychology for ministers in training with the Centers for Spiritual Living through the Holmes Institute. He has served as vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and is the recipient of its Pathfinder Award for outstanding contributions to the field of human consciousness. 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.
