TTE91 – Ash, Reality and Big Pharma

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Eugenia Zelaya

It’s enthusiasm time again. Let me know what you think via twitter at @JamieSmartCom, on my Facebook page, or on my blog here.

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
The fact that he wrote the book the film Blade Runner was based on (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) should guarantee Philip K. Dick a place in the “Greatest Science Fiction Writers Of All Time” Hall of Fame. His definition of reality is pithy, succinct and right on the money:

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” Read More →

“The Soul Toupee is that thing about ourselves we are most deeply embarrassed by and like to think we have cunningly concealed from the world, but which is, in fact, pitifully obvious to everybody who knows us.”

Tim Kreider

What’s your bald spot / blind spot?

I’ve got a bald spot at the back of my head. The only time I ever notice it is when I catch sight of it in a double mirror but other people can see it all the time. My bald spot exists in a ‘blind spot’ – a place outside of my ordinary field of vision. Read More →

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
This week’s quote comes from legendary physicist Stephen Hawking, and is on a subject I’m fascinated with.

“Artificial intelligence and increasing automation is going to decimate middle class jobs, worsening inequality and risking significant political upheaval, Stephen Hawking has warned. In a column in The Guardian, the world-famous physicist wrote that ‘the automation of factories has already decimated jobs in traditional manufacturing, and the rise of artificial intelligence is likely to extend this job destruction deep into the middle classes, with only the most caring, creative or supervisory roles remaining.'” Read More →

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
This week’s quote is from entrepreneur, author and social media maven, Gary Vaynerchuk:

“I want my legacy to be something called The Honey Empire. My great ambition in life is to buy the New York Jets, which will mean I’ll have to become a multi-billionaire. If I can build a multi-billion dollar net worth on the back of being a good human being, and teaching the future generations that you can achieve all the financial wants you have by being nice, and being honey over vinegar, that will be far greater legacy than me actually buying the New York Jets.” Read More →

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’m currently listening to the behemoth audiobook of Robert A Heinlein’s classic, Stranger in a Strange Land. The book is fantastic, and in light of the current political climate and all the smoke, light and heat it appears to be generating, this quote really jumped out at me:

“Democracy is a poor system of government at best; the only thing that can honestly be said in its favor is that it is eight times as good as any other method the human race has ever tried. Democracy’s worst fault is that its leaders are likely to reflect the faults and virtues of of their constituents.” Read More →
