Thinking about thinking.

Thinking about thinking.

In a podcast called Thinking About Thinking, three eminent scientists discuss the ways humans think. All three have interesting and useful insights. I recommend this podcast to anyone responsible for managing Pharma R&D teams or for anyone looking for new ways to improve team performance, especially in knowledge-intensive research efforts.

George Steiner, a certain idea of knowledge.

George Steiner:

Our world is shrinking. Science is becoming inaccessible to us. Who can understand the latest innovations in genetics, astrophysics and biology? Who can explain them to the profane? Knowledge no longer communicates; writers and philosophers in our day are incapable of enabling us to understand science. At the same time, the scope of imagination in science is dazzling. How can we claim to speak of human consciousness if we overlook what is most daring and imaginative? I am concerned by what it means to be literate today. Is it possible to be literate if you do not understand non-linear equations?
