A New Theory of Human Intelligence
I found this Tedx video to be really inspiring and also interesting to actually see something like this take place somewhere to see what the results would be. Universities get way to caught up in the stats of year to year and always trying to be the top dog against everyone else in having the highest scores. However, what opportunities are they missing out on and also what opportunities are they taking away from students that want to pursue a college degree. Are there people out there that can't pass the normal standardized tests that would may not look on paper but actually be really good in the real world environment and they are missing out because they don't fit the social norm. I think it will be really interesting to see some results of what Kaufman finds out if and when he does any studies on his new theory.
Copy Right is Brain Damage
This was a very interesting way to think about what copyrighting has done to a lot of what people and the creations that they have made. Getting copyrights really does put a damper on the possibilities of what something can become, through the original artist and others that wish to branch off and create their own version. All copyright has done is made it so that the artist is hurt in the long run and the community that they share, all the while the corporations are making money off it and changing it to what they want to attract more people to buy their version. This video also really got me to thinking about how culture is formed and how the idea of copyright has really suppressed the progression of culture through works of art.
