As a great deal of the controversy concerning the contemporary dilemma inherent in the sciences, the first part of this chapter deals with the strange reportage of Einstein’s last years, as far from being deluded or misguided, his own nagging intuitions concerning the nature of Ultimate Reality led to him to discard his own theories and turn instead to the work of Kaluza and Klein. His insights were astute, and yet even those who work within the area of String Theory, an orientation itself aligned with the later theories that Einstein was engaged with were somehow compelled to diminish Einstein and his more recent theories, adulating his earlier accomplishments and anchoring for the public a false impression of the state of contemporary physics.

I first entered the aviation industry in 1983 when I joined British Airways as Cabin Crew. During my induction course, I was taught safety drills and procedures and basic surival principles, subjects which were refreshed annually thereafter. I flew for seven years on both shorthaul and longhaul routes, on Tridents, TriStars (L10-11s) and Boeing 737s, 747s & 757s. In all that time, on all those aircraft, I never had anything even remotely approaching an emergency - but I was always prepared, just in case!

in Public bookmarks by 2 users - On the Psychology of Military Incompetence: Books: Norman F. Dixon
"Everyone who manages anyone should be required to read this book. By focussing on the military Dixon has written a book crammed with examples that show the drastic consequences of incompetence. In management situations it's seldom a matter of life and death (despite the way some bosses act) but the consequences are still there: demotivated, under-utilised, confused and stressed staff. So if you're the boss and this sounds familiar you should read this book and learn it's lessons."

Note: The best ever explanation of 'military intelligence', Reviewer: A reader - The Playboy Interview: Marshall McLuhan
In 1961, the name of Marshall McLuhan was unknown to everyone but his English students at the University of Toronto--and a coterie of academic admirers who followed his abstruse articles in small-circulation quarterlies. But then came two remarkable books-- "The Gutenberg Galaxy" (1962) and "Understanding Media" (1964)--and the graying professor from Canada's western hinterlands soon found himself characterized by the San Francisco Chronicle as "the hottest academic property around." He has since won a world-wide following for his brilliant--and frequently baffling--theories about the impact of the media on man; and his name has entered the French language as mucluhanisme, a synonym for the world of pop culture.
in Public bookmarks - These imponderables are here to encourage my students to think creatively and identify deep questions
Collecting "imponderables" or interesting unanswered questions is one of my hobbies and I list a bunch of questions here. I decided to put them on this web site to encourage students to think creatively and identify deep questions. But anyone is welcome to enjoy them. I know the answer to some of them, but many are open questions to have fun with. Maybe some can never be answered. The questions are also here to encourage interdisciplinary thinking. The most exciting scientific problems in the century following 2001 will require a multidisciplinary approach. A challenge: If you email me a really elegant answer or discussion to any of these questions, I will display your contribution on this page.

A cognitive bias is something that our minds commonly do to distort our own view of reality. Here are the 26 most studied and widely accepted cognitive biases. 1. Bandwagon effect - the tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. Related to groupthink, herd behaviour, and manias. Carl Jung pioneered the idea of the collective unconscious which is considered by Jungian psychologists to be responsible for this cognitive bias. 2. Bias blind spot - the tendency not to compensate for one’s own cognitive biases. 3. Choice-supportive bias - the tendency to remember one’s choices as better than they actually were.

In today's Washington Post, a former interrogator working with the US government in Iraq, Eric Fair, shares some of his disturbing memories: A man with no face stares at me from the corner of a room. He pleads for help, but I'm afraid to move. He begins to cry. It is a pitiful sound, and it sickens me. He screams, but as I awaken, I realize the screams are mine. That dream, along with a host of other nightmares, has plagued me since my return from Iraq in the summer of 2004. Though the man in this particular nightmare has no face, I know who he is. I assisted in his interrogation at a detention facility in Fallujah. I was one of two civilian interrogators
Men like me have refused to tell our stories, and our leaders have refused to own up to the myriad mistakes that have been made.

However, it is interesting that so many people wish to deny the undeniable relationship between humans and chimps, and at the same time cannot seem to help finding political meanings in primate behavior that supports either a liberal or conservative agenda. On so simple a question — how much sex and violence do chimpanzees and bonobos exhibit — rides so much political angst about human nature and culture. Fortunately the facts can help sort through the fiction, and Frans de Waal is just the scientist to be our guide.

For three years the priests would eat a special diet consisting only of nuts and seeds, while taking part in a regimen of rigorous physical activity that stripped them of their body fat. They then ate only bark and roots for another three years and began drinking a poisonous tea made from the sap of the Urushi tree, normally used to lacquer bowls.
