Best Cancer Prevention Science can Offer (2017)
Breakthrough understandings of cancer that have come about over the last few years have substantially improved the survival of cancer patients. Many people are already out-living their cancer. Using these latest understandings, here are a few things you can do to escape cancer.

Beginning of the End of Cancer
In the last post, I wrote about the beginning of the end of type-2 diabetes. Here is something even more sensational:
Science is beginning to understand cancer and…it is turning out to be a pussy!

Beginning of the End of Type-2 Diabetes
The current protocol for treating Type-2 Diabetes is out dated on so many counts, it must be outlawed. Today, we have sufficient scientific understanding to reliably reverse diabetes.

Acid-Blockers Overkill
The current treatment protocol for chronic acid-reflux is a crime. To understand why, you will have to first understand how this disease works.

The Neuroscience Pyramid
If you are doing some business in neuroscience industry, you will find this somewhat interesting. If not, I can’t possibly imagine why would you spend time reading this.
This article is about how I see the entire neuroscience industry to be falling into a four layered pyramid

Idea Age is here. How can you get yourself ready?
It is not a secret that we are facing exponential threats from resource crunch and environmental degradation. This 5 post series argues that in response, we are inventing a new idea age.

Age of Creativity
This 5 post series addresses as to how “we are facing exponential threats from resource crunch and environmental degradation and in response, we are inventing a new idea age”.
- Exponential Threats identifies the growing threats we are presently facing
- In Exponential Technology, we argue that our technology, our best ally, is not sufficient to tackle these threats. To do that, unprecedented level of human ingenuity should come into play.
- In Origin of Ideas, we discuss the source of human ingenuity, both inside an individual’s head and across the society.
- In this post, Age of Creativity, we will see why we are entering an era of unprecedented global creativity.
- In the last post, we address how you can prepare for the coming Idea Age
There are a bunch of reason for us to believe that we have entered a new age of creativity. Another renaissance. But in its scope, this one will be like no other. By the time it has run its course, humankind would have, I speculate, made a clean break with the past.

Before discussing how human creativity is likely to save the day, we must first understand the origin of ideas, either inside a human head, or across a society. After all, there are striking similarities between both types of idea generation.

Exponential Threats

We (humans) are facing an imminent danger to the present way of life. Something must change. The popular belief is that change will drastically reverse the decades of advances that we have made in obtaining ourselves substantially better quality of living. Whereas, the popular hope is that we will come out on the other side much stronger than we are today.
Given that I am an ever-hopeful, I fall into the second camp and strongly ‘hope’ that some incredible breakthrough will come along (after all, what is the point in living, if one belongs to the ‘hopeless’ camp). The obvious candidate for the ‘breakthrough is coming’ camp is the exponential technology. That may not be the case.

John Galt was a Psychopath
So was Howard Roark. And, very probably, Ayn Rand was a psychopath too. But they were all so called ‘high functioning’ psychopaths. In other words, they have a psychopath’s psychological make up, but they have used the traits constructively.

Questions No One asks about Human Sexuality
Here are a bunch of questions about human sexuality that no one wants to ask. Probably because the answers frighten everyone!

ADHD Brain
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is easily the most fascinating, misunderstood, contested and over-diagnosed psychiatric condition. Through ADHD, we will see how our brain affects our behavior.

Madonna-Whore and Generalization
We are naturally inclined to associate only one idea with one person. This innocuous cognitive limitation called generalization is hugely responsible for decoloring people and societies.

In Celebration of Eccentrics
Normal is made by mixing a little bit of each color. It results in a dull gray. Eccentrics, on the other hand, is all of few shades and none of the rest. Eccentrics are like a riot of colors.

Little Bit of Madness
4 out of 5 writers are known to have incidence of bipolar disorder in their family. 1 in 2 entrepreneurs are known to have ADHD spectrum disorder. People are known to get powerful religious visions after epileptic seizures.
What is going on here? Why haven’t these conditions go away from human gene pool, even though they usually are detrimental to the carrier’s ability to reproduce?

Importance of Human Sexuality
We can’t understand human beings without understanding human sexuality. Recently, I had a post that discussed the orgasmic potential in women. It was well received by people I happen to know in real life. Whereas, for the first time, I had people unsubscribing to the blog updates! I thought I should explain why I keep straying into human sexuality every now and then.

God, Evolution and Internal Compass
Whenever a belief or an attitude is shared by all (or most) of humanity, it must have offered us a significant survival advantage in our evolutionary past. After all, people without this belief/attitude were wiped off from the gene pool!
In an earlier post, I discussed about how our sense of spirituality is suspected to be an evolutionary by-product. Scientists working on evolution suspect that our compulsion to subscribe to concepts like God and Life-Purpose might have similar evolutionary origins.

What can OkCupid tell us about Women
In the very first post, I discussed how internet is becoming a very rich source for researchers on human behavior. One such source is a online dating website called OkCupid.
OkCupid has a nice blog, where they keep publishing interesting pieces of researches, based on gargantuan sample size. Compared to their studies, the regular University researches look laughably puny and homogeneous.
These are some of my favorite findings:

Sexual Ornament
We didn’t grow a large brain to help ourselves find better food, fend from predators or to change the very landscape of the planet, like we are doing today. We evolved a large brain hundreds of thousands of years before we did all that.

Honest Signal
There is a term called “honest signalling” in evolutionary biology. It is not a new insight, but it is going to form basis for some of the key discussions we are going to have in the future.
