The data knows all, which is why today our data is more valuable than our bodies.

Descriptive Praise is about noticing and commenting on exactly what your child has done that is right or just okay, or even what he hasn't done wrong.

Because Descriptive Praise is so specific, it cannot be argued with; it is a fact. You're not making sweeping, exaggerated statements that can easily be disputed or discounted.

Moreover, if we move in the direction of making machines which learn and whose behavior is modified by experience, we must face the fact that every degree of independence we give the machine is a degree of possible defiance of our wishes. The genie in the bottle will not willingly go back in the bottle, nor have we any reason to expect them to be well disposed to us.

What about our looming financial crises? Innovation can solve many problems, but it won't erase unsustainable debt. We have borrowed our way to prosperity with no exit strategy.

Behavior that fueled the 2008 financial bubble and bust will persist, but on steroids.
