The transparency video also confirmed some thoughts around the need to guide students to choose to follow interests/chosen mentors/networks closely whilst working/studying and of course many unthought thoughts! Thanks very much for your work.And how critical it is to incorporate futurist discussions in preparation for work/study.

I have notices that applications and drugs to help improve mental abilities are gaining steam. I realize you haven't written much about neuroscience (or at least a search for that term on your blog returns nothing), but I think a lot of the things you write about are heavily influenced by advances in that field. I would love to hear your thoughts. I am wondering if you believe discoveries in neuroscience will begin to lay foundations for future businesses.

Thank God the rest of the world is going into Wind Power. From the ashes of Tennessee(literally) , we cannot pollute ourselves into thinking this price of gasoline is permanent! We will see OIL over $100 in less than two years time frame!! ObamaNomics will take some time to implement but the world will come back and we will recover despite all of our perceived fear media driven desire to have the consumer never ever buy anything forever. Economic chaos might be severe in coming weeks/months but humanity will prevail in the long run. Vestas is classic Colorado success story of the future here tomorrow!
