A great TED talk about the future of thought. Here he points out the past failure of incentives, and calls for "practical wisdom" to pull us from the fire.

wow... is there such a thing a philosophic twin?

this man is my twin...

he`s a good speaker. he makes sense in a basic way that everyone can relate to.
he also makes reference to the latest common-interest items, such as barack obama, as well as the last thing i remember being morally right on a company`s side (the company keeping the employees on the payroll. i`d like to find out what happened after a couple of months...)

you know... it almost makes me paranoid...
