Here's an inspiring story of a community coming together to help out one of their members in need - imagine what we could accomplish if we did more of thishttps://cbsloc.al/2BSBqvc 

Seeding serendipity is a powerful mechanism to unlock future potential through leverage - @KhalidiAlmadani builds on my concept of shaping serendipityhttp://bit.ly/2BTA43q 

A cafe in Tokyo is staffed by 4 foot tall robots that are operated remotely by paralyzed people working remotely from their homeshttp://bit.ly/2BTSdhm 

Tools to hack the mind have had two limitations - they required implants and were expensive and unwieldy but now there are new non-invasive devices that seek to simplify and democratize brain modulationhttp://bit.ly/2BThhoR 

Are markets a relatively recent development? Historical evidence suggests otherwise, indicating that markets may in fact have been intrinsic to our concept of civilization and a key driver of its progresshttp://bit.ly/2ANK8sS 

Enter quantum cognition: A team of researchers has determined that while our choices and beliefs don’t often make sense or fit a pattern on a macro level, at a "quantum" level, they can be predicted with surprising accuracyhttp://bit.ly/2AQuqxi 

Ed Yong does a great job of explaining why a young Chinese researcher became the center of a global firestorm when it emerged that he had allegedly made the first CRISPR-edited babies, twin girls named Lulu and Nanahttp://bit.ly/2ATTjba 

Exponentially improving technology will not only help doctors to be much more effective - it will reduce the likelihood that we’ll end up there to begin withhttp://bit.ly/2AR3ugF 

I had no idea the noted Harvard psychedelic explorer Dr. Richard Alpert who was transformed into Ram Dass is still alive and active. This is an interesting update on his activities. He continues to emphasize we are all connected - perhaps we should listenhttp://bit.ly/2E02FFM 

Insects such as bees + ants are often held up as the epitome of a robotically mechanistic approach to animal nature. But perhaps the problem isn't that insects lack an inner life, but that they don’t have a way to communicate it in terms we can understandhttp://bit.ly/2DVn1zQ 

Artificial intelligence is an unsettled field. It's not like physics. AI may seem to be a smooth-running assembly line of startups, products and research projects. The reality, however, is a landscape clouded by uncertaintyhttp://bit.ly/2DWGYWV 

Pay attention to your body clock. A growing body of evidence now suggests that when we align our sleeping and eating habits with our circadian rhythms, we can stave off chronic diseases, reduce drug side effects, and even extend our healthspanshttp://bit.ly/2DX1gzy 

Capturing some of the insights from the first day of the #GPDF18, @WinfriedFelser provides an interesting overviewhttp://bit.ly/2zyLW9b 

The evidence suggests that IQ tests for children are not very good at predicting long-term success, much less identifying those who turn out to be geniuses in their adult liveshttp://bit.ly/2zArlBq 

Pursue what is interesting — use your intuition for what you find novel in this world to integrate the process and the goal. Even better, discover your passion to find out what is consistently interesting for you - that will accelerate your growthhttp://bit.ly/2zyeS1f 

A small, eclectic group of scientists is battling nature to trigger artificial hibernation in humans. If successful, they could delay aging, treat life-threatening illnesses, and get us to Mars and beyondhttp://bit.ly/2Pa9qq5 

The idea that people have self-control because they’re good at willpower is looking more and more like a myth. You should focus on things that drive you toward your goals rather than stopping things that are in your wayhttp://bit.ly/2P88bYM 

Engineers trained two separate AI systems, eventually teaching them to work in concert so that they could turn a photo into a caricature - one can only imagine what kinds of caricatures of humans will emerge as AI becomes smarterhttp://bit.ly/2P9xslk 

Big data, personalized medicine, artificial intelligence may come together into a system that may revolutionize the future of healthcare, by bringing sophisticated health data directly to patients and putting them in charge of their carehttp://bit.ly/2P5RVat
