Here is a post by Timothy Taylor, of the Conversable Economist, I recommend to any who would wonder about the value of learnng and how it may be gained.

...Why Genuine Human Intelligence Is Key for the Development of AI.

I posted A Philosophy of Teaching earlier this year.

I recently came across Why I have Not Yet Retired that lays out much more eloquently than I could ever do the reasons behind why I do what I do.

Algorithms are opinions, not truth machines, and demand the application of ethics.

It can be easy to simply accept algorithms as indisputable mathematic truths. After all, who wants to spend their spare time deconstructing complex equations? But make no mistake: algorithms are limited tools for understanding the world, frequently as flawed and biased as the humans who create and interpret them. In this brief animation, which was adapted from a 2017 presentation at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) in London, the US data scientist Cathy O’Neil, author of Weapons of Math Destruction (2016), argues that algorithms can be useful tools when thoughtfully deployed. However, their newfound ubiquity and massive power calls for ethical conduct from modellers, regulation and oversight by policymakers, and a more skeptical, mathematics-literate public.

I follow Piekniewski's Blog, a somewhat cynical, provocative, eye-opening, thoughtful examination of AI.  I recommend it.

I refer you to Deep learning – the “why” question as a an premier example.

"There's three sides to every question, Dad.  Your side, my side, and the truth."  A good thinker understands them all.

Dariusz Prokopowicz posted the following on ResearchGate (4/14/19).

Is the role of strategic management changing in the context of current economic processes in the era of Industry 4.0?

Some Comments on Change in Strategic Management is an opinion on the matter.  Strategic management is a topic taken up in several courses I teach.  My comments should be considered as attempting a description of the issue, not necessarily a proposal for resolution.

Here is a mind-opener.

Some years ago I created the following graphic.

It would seem that the vertical line is moving much more rapidly towards the right than I first thought.

Or maybe Man is moving much more rapidly towards the left than I first thought.

By the way, Kahneman has something to say about this in  Kahneman, D. (2013). Thinking, Fast and Slow (1st pbk. ed). New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

I came across this by accident and recommend it to those of you who consider yourselves generalists.  David Siegel takes you through a large number of subject areas in some 78 minutes.

Early this year I was invited to guest lecture in an undergraduate and graduate security course.  The outcome of this invitation is a discussion guide, A Clash of Forces.

This is a blog post by Timothy Taylor that caught my eye.
