According to scientists, neuroscience is in its infancy; perhaps comparable to our understanding of physics at the time of Galileo. We still clearly have a long way to go to fully comprehend physics, but the foundations of the human brain have just started to be understood.    Study of the human brain could lead to many fascinating discoveries and capabilities. For example, could we learn by downl...

Israel/Palestine Dilemma - It seems the entire world has shifted its focus to Israel and Palestine with the recent U.N. resolution and John Kerry’s speech. It’s crazy that such a tiny area in the Middle East garners so much of the world’s attention. In fact, the U.N. General Assembly adopted 20 Israel resolutions this year, while passing just four for the rest of the world – one for North Korea, o...

Nuclear War is such a serous subject that using it to promote a political agenda and scaring people is irresponsible, stupid and simply unacceptable. But, somehow our current politicians find it ok to actively promote Nuclear War through propaganda. This increases tensions between countries and incents fringe crazies and unstable leaders to seriously think about […]

Nanotechnology is changing the world in ways that 20 years ago we thought were impossible. It’s transforming many industries and creating new ones.

Veteran suicide is a national catastrophe unfolding in front of us and few are noticing or taking it seriously. Yes, Facebook campaigns and nonprofit groups are sounding the alarm, but it hasn’t translated into meaningful legislation or major social movements. Currently, according to the Department of Veteran Affairs, the daily suicide rate amongst veterans has […]

Redesigning the Human Genome With the advent of CRISPR Cas9, a precise genome cutting tool, it is now a reality that we can physically change the human genome.

The pace of innovation and disruption is accelerating. In fact, I just recently moderated a panel on the future of engineered healthcare at an innovation conference put on by the U.S. Competitiveness Council where many of top minds in the country met to discuss the future of innovation.

Human History Paradigm Shift? Bosnian Pyramids Proving Advanced Civilizations Existed at Least 34,000 Years Ago The current tale of human history as described in our textbooks and schools is being challenged by a group of archeologists and scientists all over the world. It has long been argued that the great pyramids of Giza, the ancient […]

Many of us are tired of the election… I am one of those. I am looking forward to getting back to covering innovation and forward thinking initiatives. Of course, being that I cover big impacting issues as well, I feel obligated to cover significant issues that impede progress and keep our country from moving forward. Being […]

Something serious is happening with our health; Obesity, Cancer, Diabetes, Allergies, Autism, and many other diseases and ailments are on the rise. With the cost of healthcare also on the rise, society simply cannot absorb the serious costs this represents to our society: both emotionally on families and financially on everyone. See more below… We […]

Cyber Warfare, according to anonymous NSA agents, is one of the most serious threats facing our nation. They say we are ill prepared and are sitting ducks for an attack on our infrastructure, our businesses, and our distribution systems. In a recent documentary, “Zero Days”, anonymous NSA agents warn the public of the danger and […]

Regaining Freedom: Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, promised affordable health care to all Americans. It also promised that you could keep your current health plan without huge increases. On all of these fronts, the Affordable Care Act has failed to meet its promises. There is plenty of blame to go around; both health insurers […]

Solving Drug Addiction: The business of providing medications to patients in this country is booming. Americans pay more for prescription meds than anyone else in the world. But, while more money is being spent on pharmaceuticals than ever before, drugs that help many patients are no longer available. Insurance companies are no longer paying for customized […]

Racial tension is on display all over the country. From the riots in Charlotte to the campaign dialogue about Wall building to secure our borders. Unless you have been hiding under a rock somewhere, it would be very difficult not to notice the tension increasing all over our country. One bright spot that has occurred […]

The Internet and the alternative media are having a significant impact on the presidential campaign and politics in general. Unlike campaigns in the past, Trump has learned to use the alternative media to his advantage, forging alliances with alternative media sites such InfoWars. This is not unlike Sanders, who garnered huge support from many alternative […]

Globally Competitive?   U.S. National Debt is over 19.5 trillion dollars and it’s growing at an incredible rate – see debt clock here (www.usdebtclock.org). It is now larger than the U.S. gross domestic product which sits at approximately at $18.5 trillion.  It cannot continue to increase at this rate without the debt becoming unpayable and resulting […]

Military Spending: If you really want to know the truth, you need to follow the money. What is said publicly is almost certainly not the full story, especially in an age where the vast amount of activity is considered “top secret”.  The United States without question has an immense military establishment made up of tens […]

Mass Youth Incarceration: Where it Starts, With Our Youth Following up from last weeks show on Mass Incarceration, which focused on adults, this week the focus is on mass incarceration of our youth. In contrast to adult incarceration, where there has been bipartisan attention from U.S. Politicians, the youth problem is all but ignored during […]

No one can argue that the United States does not have a mass incarceration problem. Just by looking at the numbers it is obvious that something is out of whack. According to recent census data, the United States has less than 5% of the world’s population but has a whopping 25% of the World’s Prisoners. […]

The 2016 election is shaping up to be the most polarized election in modern history. Clinton represents the establishment, while Trump represents an angry base that wants something different. Bernie Sanders represented the other side of the coin from Trump; an alternative for the angry and the disenfranchised on the democratic side. Now with just […]
