Reboot• Juan Enriquez
A broad thinker who studies the intersection of
science, business and society, Juan Enriquez
has a talent for bridging disciplines to build a
coherent look ahead. The founding director of
the Harvard Business School Life Sciences
Project, Enriquez has published widely on topics
from the technical (global nucleotide data flow)
to the sociological (gene research and national
competitiveness), and was a member of Celera
Genomics founder Craig Venter's marine-based
team to collect genetic data from the world's
oceans.

Juan Enriquez• “Humanity is on the verge of becoming a new and utterly unique species” •What makes this species so unique is that it takes direct and deliberate control over the evolution of the species. •Calling it the “ultimate reboot,” he points to the conflux of DNA manipulation and therapy, tissue generation, and robotics as making this great leap possible.

Reboot• P.W. Singer
“Dr. Singer is considered one of the world’s leading
experts on changes in 21st century warfare. If
Moore’s law holds true, robots will become even more
powerful than they are today. There is a revolution in
the instruments of war. They affect not only the how,
but the who of fighting wars. It changes the
experience and identity of the warrior.

P.W. Singer•You have to think of other countries working on robotics. What does this mean about the state of education, science and tech in America? As we have gone open source, so has warfare. The components can be sourced from around the world. Bad guys can also make drones just like Hobbyists do.
1. Reinforcement of power of individuals against govt.2. Al-Qaeda 2.0 and a shift in tactics of terrorist organizations that might use robotics in their attacks. ‘You do not have to convince a robot that they will get 72 virgins for their sacrifice’
•War Porn•Desynthesized•Cubicle Warfare

Reboot• Bill Gates
In summer of 2008, Gates left his day-to-day role with
Microsoft to focus on philanthropy. Holding that all lives have
equal value (no matter where they're being lived), the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation has now donated staggering sums
to HIV/AIDS programs, libraries, agriculture research and
disaster relief -- and offered vital guidance and creative
funding to programs in global health and education.
Gates believes his tech-centric strategy for giving will prove
the killer app of planet Earth's next big upgrade.

Boston Philharmonic. He is known around the world as both a

• Seth Godin
"Seth Godin may be the ultimate entrepreneur for the
Information Age," Mary Kuntz wrote in Business Week
nearly a decade ago. "Instead of widgets or car parts,
he specializes in ideas -- usually, but not always, his
own." In fact, he's as focused on spreading ideas as he
is on the ideas themselves

=Practical Wisdon
“Practical wisdom” is an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy.
Rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help
rebuild our world
