It has long been recognized that most standard of living increases are associated with advances in technology, not the accumulation of capital. Yet it has also become clear that what truly separates developed from less developed countries is not just a gap in resources or output but a gap in knowledge. In fact the pace at which developing countries grow is largely determined by the pace at which they close that gap. Therefore, how countries learn and become more productive is key to understanding how they grow and develop, especially over the long term.

Most of the people are unaware of the existence of the vagus nerve and how important it is for our body: It’s not just a nerve, it’s much more because it affects different organs of our body and, if stimulated correctly, it produces numerous important benefits. Polyvagal theory tells us that the body operates in two chemical states: the state of danger and the state of safety. All exercises and stimulating techniques that facilitate vagus nerve functions are all designed with one primary goal: to restore the vagus nerve to a safe state.

Over the past 10 years, urban planners, technology companies, and governments have promoted smart cities with a somewhat utopian vision of urban life made knowable and manageable through data collection and analysis. Emerging smart cities have become both crucibles and showrooms for the practical application of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and the integration of big data into everyday life. Are smart cities optimized, sustainable, digitally networked solutions to urban problems? Or are they neoliberal, corporate-controlled, undemocratic non-places?

Es con Freud —al cabo de dos o tres mil años—cuando se vuelve a justipreciar el sueño como un acto revelador del destino. Una vez más la psicología abisal ha reconocido un orden allí donde las otras sólo veían un caos, un movimiento agitado e incoherente: lo que a sus antecesores parecía un laberinto inextricable, sin principio ni final, para ella es la via regia, el amino real, que enlaza la vida inconsciente con la consciente. El sueño es el intermediario entre el mundo de nuestros sentimientos ocultos y el que está sometido al conocimiento.

We normally don’t have any time, but when we finally do, we lack energy. On those rare occasions when we have energy outside of work, it is restless and difficult to harness towards meaningful goals. Starting from the realization that meaningful time is worthless without energy, the concept of “timenergy” points to something we all lack: large energy-infused blocks of repeatable time throughout the week.
