Partly because you won’t get much return on your money, and partly because of insurance issues. There are other investment vehicles that will give both better return and lower risk.

Comment on The Future of Human Evolution by Aebe

You can already see the various forms of humans and the split starting to occur. For millenia the human body and mind was shaped by the environment, today it is also shaped by the artificial environment that humans have created. In different social environments these influences occur to different degrees. In many third world countries humans are still very dependent on the natural environment that surrounds them. Place them in a techno-infused environment they will find it hard to survive. On the far extreme, those in the techno-infused environment will have difficulty surviving in a purely natural environment. Many of us exist somewhere in between these two extremes. As technology advances it begins to augment certain functions that we used to have to work harder at achieving (i.e. – the wheel gives us more distance than our legs). These augmentations in time become a part of us and characterize our minds and bodies. So from that perspective it makes sense to say that humans essentially have the power to re-create themselves, and they will in various forms.

Comment on The Transition, Or How To Be A Good Leader by Leadership development

A good leader is everything for a company, nowadays. He must be very responsible, to take the right decisions, to listen and communicate a lot with the team members. It’s not that easy to lead someone or a business, because not everyone have the same opinion about some things like you!

No
kidding; there’s nothing like uncertainty to bring out negative emotions.
Interesting sidebar, when I took the GMAT back in September, it was the first
time I’ve ever taken a high stakes standardized test without being even
slightly anxious, which was a foreign experience for me, usually I’m wrought
with nervousness. I often get myself into trouble by treating problems in
a binary manner, assigning too much importance to an individual task or
event. For example, if I don’t get this score my life is over…. Anyway, you mentioned the occasional
frustration of a slow or unproductive week, while your week may feel less
productive, maybe you learned more in that week than you would have it was were
smooth sailing on the job. My advice: persistently analyze your desires,
set goals and challenges and don’t get discouraged when immediate gratification
doesn’t come. Cheers!
