Listen to Saturn’s radio emissiones, they are beautiful and alien – an example of how different the universe can be from that what we find here on Earth.

I especially liked the means/goals distinction he presents at around minute fifteen of the talk. This and his previous talk should be made compulsory viewing for politicians.

I especially liked Sir Ken Robinson, Hans Rosling, Michael Shermer, Aubrey de Grey, Dan Gilbert, Barry Schwartz, Neil Gershenfeld, Richard St. John, and Ray Kurzweil.

Here’s some info on this year’s going on:

They have a nice summary of many journals relevant to the field of complex adaptive systems:
