Interesting read here on different theories on why human technologies were slow to rise at first.
I think some core reasons why human technology was slow going at first in order of most likely to least likely are:
I believe that larger corporations and governments are separate thinking entities from any individual person that works for them. They act aggressively in their own interest to pursue a specific goal (for corporations this is profit, for governments it is survival and growth). Many times they will even get rid of their own CEO’s if the CEO is not contributing properly (look at Harvey Weinstein as an example here).… read more “Corporations and Governments are AI”

I would be interested in joining a California based Board of Directors of a public company. I have expertise in marketing, sales, recruiting, and management. I have built the top LA online marketing agency over the last eight years, entirely self funded. We now have over 100 full time team members.
America is slowly turning into a nation of corruption where your political connections are more important than your innovation. Losing net neutrality is a cash handout to the most hated companies in America… Comcast has long held the #1 rank on this list, with Dish, Sprint, and Verizon close followers. Losing net neutrality will result in truly innovative companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Netflix having to pay their profits out to Comcast.… read more “Losing Net Neutrality or The Corruption of America”
