Harvard-"Important signal uncovered in brain development"

"What is happening here is a 'perfect storm' of unemployment. The loss of manufacturing jobs combines with the loss of white collar jobs and the loss of jobs to robots to create economic stagnation, and then massive unemployment, in the U.S. Meanwhile, corporate executives concentrate massive amounts of wealth.

In Robotic Nation I discuss the fact that robotic replacement of workers will not be the only form of unemployment pressure. It combines with this 'irreversible mega-trend' of off-shoring. And it combines, as discussed in Manna, with the Wal-Martization of wages (e.g. - California grocery store strikes), to create a gigantic minimum-wage working class in the United States. This minimum wage class becomes massively unemployed with the arrival of service sector robots starting in 2015."

"You insist that there is something that a machine can't do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that."

Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center is working on 3D graphics algorithms with applications to brain surgery.

I made a 100 in AP government and Duke's curriculum requires me to take classes in about over 10 subjects.
