source: Open Education and Culture 2013年8月25日 Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion has been a run away best seller. It has stimulated global debate, not always very charitable, about whether Dawkins is right to say that it is probably the case that God does not exist. During this weekend philosophers Marianne Talbot and Stephen Law will discuss the debate from a philosophical point of view. What are Dawkins' arguments? Are they good arguments? Are they conclusive arguments? Where does the debate about God's existence stand now?
Response to Dawkins: Is the God Hypothesis a Scientific Hypothesis? 1:29:48 Marianne Talbot gives the first talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. She discusses whether Dawkins' first premise of his overall argument- that the God Hypothesis is a scientific hypothesis, is correct using a philosophical point of view and deductive logic. The video is part of the 2010 God Delusion Weekend series published by the University of Oxford. Response to Dawkins: Strengths and Weaknesses of the God Delusion 1:26:13 Stephen Law givs the second talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. The video is part of the 2010 God Delusion Weekend series published by the University of Oxford. Response to Dawkins: The Mind, Belief, Free Will, and God 1:08:23 Marianne Talbot presents the third talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. She examines Dawkin's assertion that the mind and brain are the same thing, which would question the existence of free will, and therefore, God. Response to Dawkins: Attacking the God Hypothesis in Other Ways 1:12:25 Stephen Law gives the fourth talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. The video is part of the 2010 God Delusion Weekend series published by the University of Oxford. Response to Dawkins: The God Delusion Q&A 1:14:43 Stephen Law and Marianne Talbot take part in a panel discussion with Tom Fisher, chairman of the Oxford Philosophical Society, chairing. They answer questions form the audience about The God Delusion and discuss the philosophical issues surrounding it.

source: Stanford 2017年1月10日 Inspired by a whirligig toy, Stanford bioengineers have developed an ultra-low-cost, human-powered blood centrifuge. With rotational speeds of up to 125,000 revolutions per minute, the device separates blood plasma from red cells in 1.5 minutes, no electricity required. A centrifuge is critical for detecting diseases such as malaria, African sleeping sickness, HIV and tuberculosis. This low-cost version will enable precise diagnosis and treatment in the poor, off-the-grid regions where these diseases are most prevalent.

A Google TechTalk, 12/15/16, presented by Don Norman and Mickey McManus ABSTRACT: As the number of increasingly intelligent machines increases and their role shifts from automating labor to playing games and exploring concepts, what role will human designers take? Previously, some capabilities were relegated to humans--empathy, intuition, leaps of imagination, and creativity. But as we build intelligent assistants, automatic translators, and self-directed systems, how will we design them--how will we understand them--and how will we study them? Will humans be competitors, collaborators, midwives, or something never before imagined? How can you design with system components which may have unpredictable behaviors?
Join Don Norman and Mickey McManus as they box a few rounds in a lively debate to explore this important and timely topic. About the speakers

source: New Thinking Allowed 2017年1月8日 Luis Minero is president of the International Academy of Consciousness. He is also author of Demystifying the Out-of-Body Experience. Here he describes some of the essential features of the out-of-body experience – such as the ability to see one’s own body as if one were hovering above it and looking down. He contrasts the out-of-body experience with other similar experiences including astral travel, remote viewing, and the near-death experience. He explains that he began having spontaneous experiences as a teenager; and, over time, learned to control them. He suggests that the best approach to cultivate out-of-body experiences is to treat it as a yoga-like discipline – rather than to have it induced by external stimulation such as audio recordings.
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. 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.
