Class in NYC taking up why we must take on the challenge of Mars colonization now.

From Plato to Lyndon LaRouche, the fallacy of sense perception has been the foundational topic for the advancement of mankind in all of humanity's past. This interactive report covers the boundaries of sight, hearing and language, which leads us to look to the famous Helen Keller to answer the question: what really is mind, after all?

Peter Martinson interviewed Dr. Richard Altrock, of the Air Force Research Laboratory, back on December 7, 2011 at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting in San Francisco. Altrock is a heliophysicist, who specializes in observations of the solar corona. Back in July, 2011, he and three other groups issued a forecast that the Sun was not only headed into a late, weak solar cycle, but that this may be the last time we get to see any significant sunspots on the Sun for, perhaps, several decades. You can see a summary of that forecast here. In this interview, Altrock updates that forecast, and adds a surprising twist.

Dr. Altrock's views are not the official position of the United States Air Force.

A consistent failure in economic work comes from failing to recognize a difference between quantitative and qualitative changes. Evolutionary upshifts include changes that are qualitative in their not being comparable with previous states, and the same is true for human economy.

Unlike the brains of animals, the human mind has the power of going beyond the senses, to creatively develop concepts that exist as universal intentions. In both science and art, Lyndon LaRouche has pointed to the concept of metaphor as embodying the kernel of creative thought. In this video, Jason Ross uses several examples from the first modern scientist, Johannes Kepler, to elaborate this concept, and offers an unsettling conclusion on what the goal of economic policy must be.
