How fast, frequent and FAKE terrorism could sink the EU
The ROI (return on investment) from making FAKE attacks against EU targets could exceed $1,000,000 to $1. IF 10,000 FAKE attacks are made in the next year by self-activating, super-empowered individuals, the costs would be incalculable.
The successful terrorist attacks on Brussels and Paris have left the EU vulnerable to tens of thousands of fast, frequent and fake attacks by self-activating terrorists.
Here's how.
How the US ends up in a real Civil War this Fall
The US election could get worse. It could be a prelude to a civil war.
How so? Here's a simple scenario.
It's November 8th and the choice is between Trump and Hillary.
Both candidates have negatives approaching 70% (Hillary is currently at 56% and Trump is at 60%). The campaign has been vicious. Like a rematch of Hitler vs. Stalin in US politics.
Why did Google dump Boston Dynamics?
Boston Dynamics pioneered walking robots, on both two legs and four (see video). BD's early demonstrated success led Google (aka Alphabet) to acquire them for their robotics mashup, Replicant, in December of 2013.
However, Google has changed their minds. Google is now putting Boston Dynamics up for sale.
Instant Learning and the Next Economy
Let's face it. Human biological evolution is very slow. Our bodies and minds are roughly the same as they were ten thousand years ago.
That hasn't held us back though.
Thousands of years ago, we learned an unique way to transcend the limits of biological evolution. We learned that we can rapidly evolve as a group by gathering, storing, and sharing the experiences of individuals.
A Global Robotic Transportation System is Almost Here
Here's some thinking on the robotic transportation system that's headed our way. I believe it will arrive far faster than everyone suspects.
Clip-on Robotics for Cars, Planes, and Ships
How does a global transportation system become a robotic transportation system almost overnight?
The answer is clip-on robots.
Robots (and their sensors) that you simply clip onto the driver's seat of the vehicle.
It sees what the driver/pilot/captain would see, both outside and in. It uses the same controls to control the vehicle. It hears the same things.
Simple. Effective. Inexpensive. Fast.
JOURNAL: Why the Technorati screws up
My friend Nassim Taleb (the well known philosopher of decision making) adds to our understanding of why the Technorati routinely make bad decisions (from the management of the economy to national security to social policy). It also explains why they screw up without taking responsibility for it.
The Hollow State Politics: The Left Behinds vs. Technorati
The shift from a marginally functional nation-state in manageable decline to a hollow state often comes suddenly..."Onward to a Hollow State"
