Here’s an interesting lecture from Elaine Morgan about the possibility of an aquatic missing link in human evolution. I’ve read alot recently about dolphin and whale cultures. The question crossed my mind as to why two aquatic mammalian cultures have similarities to human culture trends, but, aside from the cognitive and emotional traits of elephants, most land mammalian cultures do not.

Anyway, it’s an interesting theory. The comments section seem to fill in more of the details (and rebuttals) that she left out (click here for comments).

Fred Vogelstein wrote a great article for Wired (click here to read) about the swirling antitrust sentiments building against Google.

I was fortunate enough to work as a research assistant last summer for the brilliant Professor Frank Pasquale, who last summer testified before the House Committee on the Judiciary regarding competition policy, antitrust, and search engines (click here for testimony).

The article does a great job illustrating Google’s services-for-data exchange program, as well as the danger in such a prominent search engine sitting at the center of a web empire when it still keeps its algorithm a secret.

I just realized that in the last year, I have developed a love for reading/learning about scholars and scientists. I have Einstein and Sagan biographies on my shelf, am excited each week to see what scientist or economist the New York Times magazine will feature, and watch Charlie Rose on a nightly basis to see what genius brain he will pick.

Anyway, this week, the New York Times magazine has a great piece on Freeman Dyson - apparently a scientist’s scientist - and current naysayer and critique of the green movement and Inconvenient Truth followers (click here for the article). I consider myself one of the mouthpieces of environmental change that he would dissent from, but I recently have been very open to hearing opposing views on the matter from people considered authorities on environmental and earth science. I always carry a healthy skepticism for movements and seemingly bulletproof social trends, even ones that I follow and see the good in.

I like particularly am interested in this one quote from the article:

Beyond the specific points of factual dispute, Dyson has said that it all boils down to “a deeper disagreement about values” between those who think “nature knows best” and that “any gross human disruption of the natural environment is evil,” and “humanists,” like himself, who contend that protecting the existing biosphere is not as important as fighting more repugnant evils like war, poverty and unemployment.

Click here to check out a great article from the New York Times about Jeffrey Lipsky/Filthy Fluno. Jeffrey, an artist in the real, physical world found that he had a much better, more fulfilling career as Filthy, an artist in Second Life. The article explores the notion of two different markets, one in our world and one in Second Life. This gets me thinking: If our market has tanked, is Second Life’s doing OK? My head is flooded with ideas right now of amazing jobs that I could never get in real life, but that I guess no one has touched yet in Second Life. There must be tons of “jobs” as facilitators for techies and gamers to organize their skills and talents into established companies, industries, and professional leagues, just like we have in real life. I might have to get on this, make some money, and claim a position in this young world.

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google on Charlie Rose:

The last third of this discussion is great, as it veers off Google’s business and delves more into the global future over the next 20-25 years (education following Moore’s law, the two major threats to humanity, and the question of American dominance/influence).
