David Korten argues that global corporate consolidation of power is but one manifestation of what he calls "Empire", the organization of society by hierarchies of dominance that have held sway for the past 5,000 years. Empire has always resulted in misery for the many and fortune for the few. Now it threatens the very future of humanity. The Great Turning traces the ancient roots of Empire and charts its long evolution from monarchies to the transnational institutions of the global economy.

The child needs your love, not your help. The child needs nourishment, support, but not your help. Every way to help a child is wrong. The very idea of helping is not right. The natural potential of the child is unknown, so there is no way to help him rightly to attain to his natural potential. You cannot help when the goal is unknown; all that you can do is not interfere. And in fact, in the name of help everybody is interfering with everybody else; and because the name is beautiful, nobody objects.

Companies looking to expand used to think about entering international markets, but today you're global from the moment you create a website.

Kelly's MARACA model enables companies to distill the mass amounts of data available to determine if, how, and where they should expand by looking at three key areas of measurement.

Creativity is a highly valued skill set that drives a significant portion of the global economy. It does not depend on a random stroke of genius but instead on inspired hard work that creatives dive into, fueled by a sense of purpose and meaning with the potential for well-being and happiness - and a job that pays.

I just know there's a baby there...I just know it! These words are ever familiar to board-certified hypnotherapist and instructor Lynsi Eastburn. Edana Lynne was conceived naturally in 2003, after her mom Jennifer Harris underwent just one hypnotherapy session with Eastburn. Even after 11 years of infertility, marked by dozens of medical procedures and drugs, Edie's mom knew "there was a baby there". Eastburn believed her. Then, Edie's little brother Evan arrived safely into the world. The two are now 14 and 11 years old, respectively.

In a world full of communication breakdowns - where nation fights against nation, neighbor fights against neighbor and so many are misunderstood - there is much to be learned from the communication challenges inherent in a fire station where egos run rampant. In no other context is it as urgent that communication work well than in firefighting. And there’s no better observer and expert on those lessons than Allan London, a firefighter with more than three decades of experience making communication decisions that save lives.

Communication as such is difficult. Of course, it is more difficult between lovers. But first you have to understand the general difficulty of communication. Each mind has been conditioned by different parents, different teachers, different priests, and different politicians. It is a different world in itself. And when two minds try to communicate, as far as the ordinary mundane things are concerned, there is no difficulty. But the moment they start moving beyond things into the world of concepts, communication starts becoming more and more difficult.

The output and outcomes of AI systems are nearly instantaneous, offering humans powerful efficiencies that did not exist just a few years ago. The computing power and systems used for AI technologies far exceed human cognitive capabilities, allow for constant “machine learning” without human supervision, and include consideration of patterns that are typically impossible for humans to discern.
