I'm a physics major and Environmental Analysis minor from New Orleans. I've been very concerned about climate change ever since Katrina. Hurricane Sandy reinvigorated me to do something about global warming. After an abnormally warm day in December, I decided to walk around the entire island of Manhattan to talk about climate change (http://jdeboi.com/). New Yorkers were surprisingly receptive to my message. Weather permitting, I plan to repeat this walk once a week for the foreseeable future. I …

The Four Noble Truths are not any religion at all. They are a methodology: 1. to understand the problem; 2. to realize the origination of the problem; 3. to cease the problem only if the origination of the problem is ceased; 4. to establish the procedure and path to cease the origination of the problem; 5. to practice the right path to cease the problem; 6. to liberate from the problem. There are no formal prerequisites and the classes are free. Let's explore the original teachings of the histor …

We’re a discussion group with a focus on rationality, philosophy, science, technology, skepticism and ethics. We choose members who are friendly, intellectually curious, intelligent, non-religious, and rationally-minded – meaning that we’re more interested in figuring out the truth together than in proving ourselves right, or in arguing for the sake of arguing. Our members are young, almost all in the range of 20 to 35 years old. Our meetings are usually informal group discussions at someone’s a …

The people economy, the human capital marketplace, is ~70% of the US economy and yet the mechanisms for educating, training, credentialing, hiring and managing people are antiquated and ripe for disruption. How people learn, are recognized/rewarded for that learning, and maximize that learning and knowledge in the right role are inexorably linked, and yet too often discussed separately. For example, exciting innovations in self-directed learning are much less valuable to people if they have no w …

We all know that your resume will only get you but so far (and I can help you with that too!) But the real test is what happens when they MEET you. Are you giving the right impression?
