Bank Hapoalim gave shares to customers, many of whom had never invested before.

The more we use AI, the more it can start to shape our judgment, warns Wharton’s Cornelia Walther.

The leaders of Ralston College attempt to revive our culture by teaching ancient Greek to their humanities grad students. Excerpt: "Mr. Blackwood sees these students as “the Navy SEALs of Western civilization, prepared to do the heavy lifting of regeneration. It’s a small beginning, but they go out and carry the flame with them.” The gentler Mr. Conlon clarifies that these “Navy SEALs are humanists. The most essential ingredient is a stance of gratitude and love toward the tr

In an excerpt from his new book, ‘The Insider Advantage,’ Wharton’s Matthew Bidwell examines what provides a fulfilling career, as well as which jobs have the highest and lowest job satisfaction.

DM Good morning! What are your thoughts, concerns and estimates of likelihoods that, if this interview offers overall truth about Musk's agenda, he will ultimately succeed? Good morning. I’ll research this before estimating anything. The interview comes from two critics making strong claims, so I’ll check those claims and bring in the strongest counter-readings. I’ll treat “success” as several separate questions rather than one: the near-term political and midterm effects, e

Alice Walton is helping the Ozark region shed its “flyover” status by creating civic projects with top architects. The Waltons say they are “giving back.” What is the region giving up?

3 ways to escape research mode and start doing things

It’s an ungodly amount of reading and no easy A. So why are freshmen lining up to get into Humanities 10? Excerpt: "In their applications and in interviews, students expressed the urge to be forced to tackle classics they otherwise wouldn’t read, the need to combat frayed attention spans and the desire for an antidote to The Machine. Several mentioned with disdain that people who aren’t in the class wondered why they didn’t “just Chat the books,” i.e., use AI. “A lot of what

Good day! Per our recent conversation regarding Holophrens as systems, I seek to add to your thinking about this topic. While every holophren is a system (aka: integrated elements for a function or purpose), holophren embodiment design (HED) often includes other internal or external/ambient systems, which may also be holophrens. For example, systems may "nested" be within the 13 distinct areas of a holophren, or one or more holophren may be within other systems, some of whic

Australia, concerned over social media's impact on kids, placed restrictions for children under 16 on many major platforms. It's too soon to say if the law's working, but it's now a global test case

DM We've not yet specifically collaborated on how systems thinking might offer significant benefits to research, understanding, diagnostics and applications of The Universal Holophren within the wide spectrum of known and unknown Holophren Embodiment Design (HED) whether living and non-living. Your thoughts? . I’ll research this before offering views. The plan is to map systems-thinking traditions onto the Universal Holophren as a substrate-neutral architecture across HED,

DM Reflecting on our prior conversations regarding gravity, you stated gravity has evidental "speed." How confident are you of that answer? I’ll research the current evidence on the speed of gravity so I can give you a calibrated confidence level rather than a reflexive one. Speed of gravity evidence Research complete. 285 sources 5m 55s I’m about 99% confident that gravitational waves, meaning changes in gravity, travel at the speed of light. My earlier answer went too far

Good afternoon! I posit that contempt for one's own ignorance has a name: hubris. Pantakinesis illuminates this; in part because of it's vanishing points (as well as its other two pillars; but, that requires a bit more facilitated learning for many humans). Thus, for one to sustainably thrive within reality, with portions thereof unknown, requires "Enjoying My Ignorance." This potent attribute also has a name: humility. Good afternoon. I concur, with one refinement, and a

Unstructured play is how we evolved to learn, solve problems, and navigate the world. So why do we treat it as optional? This hour, the science of unstructure play — and the consequences of what happens when we don’t get enough of it.
