THE PRISONER'S DILEMMA [11]
Freeman Dyson, Institute for Advanced Study [12] [12.6.12]

Humans are born with genes that reward us with intense pleasure when we punish traitors. Punishing traitors is the group’s way of enforcing cooperation. We evolved cooperation by evolving a congenital delight in punishing sinners. See Dyson Edge Conversation  (http://bit.ly/QKdg9m [13])

TEN POPULAR BOOKS FOR GIFTS THIS CHRISTMAS [20]
Antonio Martinez Ron, lainformacion.com [21] [12.4.12]

THIS BOOK WILL MAKE YOU SMARTER (Planeta) The editor John Brockman has assembled some of the most influential thinkers of the time and pose a question: What scientific concept would help us improve our cognitive abilities? The book collects the response of such interesting characters as Richard Dawkins, Martin Selingman, Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker and Craig Venter. Just for that collection of names, and worth it.

EXPLORING HUMANITY'S EVOLVING 'GLOBAL BRAIN' [28]
Andrew Revkin, NEW YORK TIMES [29] [12.3.12]

Over the last several years, I’ve become familiar with the work of Thomas W. Malone and the Center for Collective Intelligence, the lab he directs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The center is studying, and trying to make the most of, the human species’ fast-growing capacity to think outside the box — with the box in this case being an individual’s skull and cerebral cortex.

Malone discussed his goals, work and background in a session recorded and transcribed by Edge.org, the Web site developed by the literary agent and intellectual impressario John Brockman as something of an online science salon.

HOW TO THINK (BETTER) A book includes ideas to be smarter of the best scientists, as the cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker, Richard Dawkins zoologist or Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman [20]
By Daniel Arjona, EL CULTURAL [35] [11.23.12]

[The book] gives exactly what it promises: intelligence. Assembled by intellectual impressario John Brockman, we find "a set of molds generally applicable conceptual" abstraction that revolutionize the structure of our perception, concepts that vent topical storm, false clichés and archetypes.

'THIS BOOK WILL MAKE YOU SMARTER' The cream of the international scientific intelligentsia ...We will not find here the intellectual vision of letters (and if there are philosophers, they have a deep scientific background.) [20]
By Sergio Parra, PAPEL EN BLANCO [41] [11.20.12]

The cream of the international scientific intelligentsia ...We will not find here the intellectual vision of letters (and if there are philosophers, they have a deep scientific background.) Here you can read the most influential thinkers of cognitive science, evolutionary psychology and information technology. That is, fields of knowledge that are experiencing a breakthrough in the twentieth and twenty-first and already incorporated all fields of knowledge, even the lliterary... A kaleidoscope of wisdom. A puzzle spinal activity at its best from authors I read for years and have been able to learn more things than I ever have imagined.

THE KEY TO SPIRITUAL HEIGHTS ... Brilliant minds explain the importance of cooperation and risk expertise - and make you smarter [48]
Von Balz Spörri, Sonntags Zeitung [48] [10.21.12]

The responses of the researchers can identify trends that will shape the science in the coming years. This year marks a major trend: the importance of cooperation. Since the 1960s have biologists and social scientists disputed stubborn that among animals and human altruism admit, writes about the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt of the University of Virginia: "Any form of altruism has been explained away as a disguised form of egoism, the natural end of Selection serve. "Only slowly set by the realization that this" biological reductionism "was false, so Haidt.

MEET THE PROPRIETOR OF THE CLUB OF GENIUSES. John Brockman is that type of person who is able to gather around himself in one place the most creative and intelligent people. [69]
Rafael Tonon, Galileu (Brasil) [69] [10.1.12]

In spite of his serious expression, his friends and acquaintances say that he is a man of enviable rhetoric, able to hold the attention of anyone. Brockman is the name behind the Edge (edge.org), the virtual forum that brings together big names of Global Science — such as Craig Venter, one of the greatest, who is responsible for sequencing the human genome, Steven Pinker, the Canadian psychologist named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world, and Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist, famous for his defense of atheism.

DREAMING OF A EUROPEAN SALON ... I am became smarter because of a book titled "This Will Make You Smarter". Although the title suggests that I've come across a remaindered book in the self-help section, it is an anthology of essays by members of edge.org. [75]
Mark Geels, Science Palooza (Netherlands) [75] [9.19.12]

...This makes the website clear, direct, and without arrogant elitism. The ideas linking to knowledge are not there to be popularized but to be explored. Members are admitted by invitation and include scientists Richard Dawkins and Craig Venter, composer Brian Eno, Google co-founder Sergey Brin and author Ian McEwen. Brockman: "all members are distinguished by the fact that they generate new ideas. They are not people who are only discussing new things".

MIT MEDIA LAB’S SANDY PENTLAND ON THE FUTURE OF OUR BIG-DATA SOCIETY. Of all the articles I’ve read about "big data" recently, one stands out as particularly enlightening. It’s by Alex (Sandy) Pentland, a distinguished computer scientist and entrepreneur [82]
By Gregory T. Huang, XCONOMY [83] [9.11.12]

Pentland argues that big data—in this case, analyzing details of social interactions and behaviors on a wide scale—will reinvent what it means to have a human society. He compares the impending transformation to the historical development of writing, education, and the Internet.

HUMANISM AND SCIENCE MUST BE KEPT SEPARATE Telmo Pievani At The Biogem: The Evolution Of Knowledge Comes From The Dialogue Of Two Distinct Worlds [90]
by John Caprara, Corriere Della Sera [90] [9.9.12]

In trying to overcome between the two cultures in 1991 the writer and American literary agent John Brockman threw a cultural movement called the "third culture": his intention was to unite intellectuals and scientists in a transversal logic can illuminate the deep meaning of 'human existence starting from the consideration that the development of science had become interdisciplinary. ... Brockman's ideas are outdated - only a recognition of separate cultures and looking for a constant comparison between them can guarantee a correct evolution of knowledge.

ASSUMING WE DEVELOP THE CAPABILITY, SHOULD WE BRING BACK EXTINCT SPECIES? And what about tweaking them a bit in the process to, say, make them less of a threat to humans? [97]
Rebecca J. Rosen, The Atlantic [98] [8.30.12]

According to an interview with Ryan Phelan [99], executive director of a project called Revive and Restore, at the Science Foo conference at the Googleplex earlier this month, there are now three techniques that may someday give scientists that ability: backbreeding (trying to work evolution backward, basically, to select for the traits of a related species), cloning (if enough genetic material exists), and genome editing (selectively manipulating the genome of a related species).

We will decipher DNA ship at lightning speed around the world, where it is necessary. Yesterday evening you could hear these prophecies by Craig Venter in Turin, in an event  known as the "Edge Dinner", one of the many dinners between scientists and assorted guests organized around the world by John Brockman, the literary agent American stars of science.

Think of the Origin of Species and the emotional expressions of Darwin, in fact almost all his books, to those of Galileo an In the last century that the custom seemed to be lost, but it has been given new life by a literary agent, John Brockman, and authors such as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, Francis Crick, Eric Kandel, Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking.

MYSTERY OF BIG DATA’S PARALLEL UNIVERSE BRINGS FEAR, AND A THRILL [136]
By Denis Overbye, THE NEW YORK TIMES [137] [6.5.12]

It is perhaps time to be afraid. Very afraid, suggests the science historian George Dyson, author of a recent biography of John von Neumann, one of the inventors of the digital computer. In “A Universe of Self-Replicating Code,” a conversation published on the Web site Edge, Mr. Dyson says that the world’s bank of digital information, growing at a rate of roughly five trillion bits a second, constitutes a parallel universe of numbers and codes and viruses with its own “physics” and “biology.”
