Most of us are probably familiar with William Gibson, the Science Fiction writer who coined the term “cyberspace.” His most famous book is Neuromancer, a tale of an Artificial Intelligence entity trying to gain sentience. He published it in 1984 (coincidence?), but the potential dangers of AI had already been codified into our popular culture.…

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” — John Adams, The Works of John…

It’s been more than 15 years since hedge fund manager Bernie Madoff’s $65 billion Ponzi scheme was exposed, and he was sent upriver with a 150-year sentence.

Winter weather will soon arrive, followed by spring, which marks the start of tornado season. Then, summer will bring hurricane season once again. And so it goes. Extreme weather is nothing new. On “Black Monday” in 1630, a hail storm so strong that it killed 1,000 soldiers and 6,000 horses caused King Edward III of…

Alzheimer’s disease will only hit a relatively small percentage of us. But cognitive issues of other types are far more common, especially in people who carry excess fat and have insulin issues. These conditions make it far more likely that your brain will undergo structural changes in the hippocampus, the center of your learning and…
