Humans have built hugely complex societies and technologies, but most of us don’t even know how a pen or a toilet works. How have we achieved so much despite understanding so little?

Cyber Summit 2016: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data
The Internet has revolutionized how — and how much — each of us can know. Our digital tools put the knowledge of the world at our fingertips — and soon, maybe, right into our heads. But what kinds of of knowledge do our devices give us, and how are they reshaping and challenging the role that education and libraries should play in our lives?
This talk was delivered by Michael Patrick Lynch, professor of philosophy at the University of Connecticut, where he directs the university’s Humanities Institute.

Knowledge to Become Better Students
You, I and every other human being on this planet are almost infinitely more capable than we think is possible. The human brain has capabilities that we are only beginning to understand and use, and our untapped abilities would allow us to do things that we cannot even imagine at present. This is not an idle claim. It is not some shallow pump-up speech that I want to use to get you hyped. It is a belief that I hold based on the years of personal and literary research I have conducted.
I began with the assumption that there must be more to life than the prescriptive "How to Study" books that I found on library shelves, but I found nothing written for students that went beyond these. I thought that there must be some strategies that I could use to my advantage. What I needed were options, as many as I could find. I knew from experience that there is never only one way to do something well. I knew that some things work for certain people and not others. I wanted information and methods that would help me become better today, and that would grow with me into my future.
In other words, I wanted to know if and how I could be excellent. Was I really a composite of the labels that had been used to describe me? Was I really a poor learner? Average? Satisfactory? Good? Inattentive? Disruptive? Did that mean that I was supposed to be like these descriptions for the rest of my life, or was it just someone else's impression of me? Could I experience a life that would be inconceivably rewarding even though my grades weren't? Would it be possible for me to live a worthwhile life? These were the questions that I really wanted answered. Why were these questions not being addressed?
I have eventually found some of the answers to these questions and I offer them to you. I offer you a very simple starting point. The modern human being, with the assistance of technology, has access to more information now than at any time in human history. Yet, even in our present enlightened state, our ignorance of what truly goes on around us is mind-boggling. The incredible human mind at age 5 can ask questions that it still cannot answer at age 75, even after a lifetime of searching for an answer. There is still much that the human being is capable of learning and understanding. Why then do we know and understand so little about ourselves and the world we live in?
It is possible for you to become more intelligent, or even a genius. It is possible even if you were told by an expert that you do not have what it takes. I offer such an unqualified statement because I believe there is much more to us that the experts are telling us. In fact, it is quite shocking how little is known about human potential. When asked why the little girl or boy grows up to be a dancer, politician, businessperson, or criminal, experts in human behaviour have many after-the-fact answers.

Candice O'Denver-Education in the nature of mind a standardized solution
There is nothing that is needed more at this point in history than a standardized solution to education in the nature of mind. Before the current era, people lived pretty much in isolated culture around the world, and each culture had its own idea of education in the nature of mind. However, society has changed significantly due to transportation, electronic communications and telecommunications uniting all of us together.
Social Media, Young People, and Mental Health
Book Ambra to speak or train: http://ambrawatkins.org/speaker. As digital natives mature into adults, the impact technology has had on their mental health is undeniable. One in four students have a diagnosable illness, and 40% do not seek help. What are the causes? What can young people do to recover? How can parents and mentors help?
Progressive Narratives - Framing the Debate
Take charge of the political narrative by knowing your values and framing the debate. Presentation discusses George Lakoff's framing principles discussed in the book"Don't Think of an Elephant!"
A STATE OF MIND - Technology, Change, and Wellbeing
At some time(s) all of us will lose control; feel anxiety, anger, exposure, vulnerability, threatened, stress, depression, uncertainty, be forgetful, or be of ‘two minds’ and so on. Our behaviors will most likely be modulated, and even strange in some way for some period. But all this is normal and a key component of our physiology of survival, and it is generally transient lasting minutes, hours, or at worst a day or two. When such conditions last for many day or weeks or become episodic, we label them mental illness.
The treatment of mental illness sufferers throughout history has not been a happy story spanning; the possession by spirits and demons, to incarceration, and institutionalization to become objects of fun, entertainment, derision, neglect, and disrespect. In the developed world a deal of progress and enlightenment (in terms of base understanding and treatment) has now been established, but there are still marked differences between the older and younger generations, sub-cultures, religions, and belief systems.
The medical profession has come a long way, and their understanding and science are still advancing, but expertise is in chronically short supply. And so there is a universal plight shared between physical and mental health with a gross shortage of skilled practitioners and physical facilities. In reality, this shortfall cannot be overcome by traditional health models - there are simply insufficient people available to be trained and qualified into all the health professions. Our only hope then; is to turn to new technologies with a progressive migration of patients from a ‘Do It all For Me’ (DIFM) to a ‘Do It For Yourself’ (DIY)_culture and expectation.
This DIFM to DIY transition is getting well established for the physical health sector, but it is still in its infancy for mental patients. Both sectors suffer the irrational/uneducated/unthinking/virulent detractors, but the reality is - we have a very limited number of choices - and we can only move within the framework of the possible. But: it is worth noting that the mental health sector is far more of a ‘minefield’ than the physical precursors. And so we should advance and experiment with great care and be sure to involve patients as a member of the team as opposed to being mere subjects and pseudo ‘lab rats’.

Cognitive Biases and Effects You Should Know About
Presented at NDC 2011 in Oslo (8th June 2011)
Video available at http://www.everytalk.tv/talks/678-NDC-Cognitive-Biases-and-Effects-You-Should-Know-About
In software development, developers, architects and managers often like to think of themselves as rational and clear thinking, not prone to the chaotic and contradictory thinking they see at home, in politics or in the world of business. Although it is possible to get further from the truth than this, it is not likely.
Those involved in software development are just as human as people in other walks of life, and are just as subject to the cognitive biases and effects that skew, truncate and bypass clear thinking. The effects on rationality affect everything from testing to estimation, from programming to project delivery. It is easier to see and react to these effects in yourself and others when you know what some of them are.

Kiberbiztonság a XXI. században by Csaba Krasznay, PhD
Cybersecurity in the 21st Century
Tisztelt Olvasó!
Napi életünk mozzanataiba visszavonhatatlanul beépültek az elektronikus
szolgáltatások. Napjainkban már az alapképzésbe integrált tudatosításra van szükség
annak érdekében, hogy érthetőbb legyen az elektronikus információs környezet, az
ezzel kapcsolatos egyéni, közösségi vagy társadalmi szintű hatások.
Egyre nehezebb felismerni az elektronikus szolgáltatásokat. A mobiltelefon
szolgáltatások, az internet hozzáférés lassan alapszolgáltatásnak tekinthető
életünkben. Ugyanakkor az egyszerű halandó számára nem érzékelhető, hogy a napi
élet szolgáltatásai egyre jobban ráépülnek az elektronikus információs
szolgáltatásokra.
Néha előfordul, hogy nem lehet kártyával fizetni a boltban, nem lehet pénzt
felvenni az automatából karbantartás (vagy egyéb okok miatt), nincs internet, vagy
egyéb formában nem áll rendelkezésre egy-egy megszokott szolgáltatás. Mindez
rávilágít arra, hogy az elektronikus információs szolgáltatások által biztosított
számtalan előny mellett rengeteg fenyegetés veszélyezteti a napi élet biztonságát,
vagy a társadalmi vagy állami szempontból fontos szolgáltatásokat.
Példák részletezése nélkül is ismert, hogy nemzeti szinten is blokkolhatók -
gátolhatók elektronikus szolgáltatások, országrészek borulhatnak sötétségbe,
nemzeti egészségügyi rendszerek állíthatók le, regionális üzemanyagellátó
rendszerek működése akadályozható, esetleg nukleáris létesítmény működése válik
lehetetlenné a kibertéren keresztül történő kártékony beavatkozás eredményeképpen.
A kibertér biztonságával kapcsolatos kérdések vizsgálata napjainkban már nem
tekinthető újdonságnak. Ezzel együtt az is megállapítható, hogy az egyre szélesebb
körű nemzeti vagy nemzetközi vizsgálatok, publikációk nem egységes
szempontrendszer vagy módszertan szerint világítják meg a kibertéri történéseket.
Az egységes, strukturált, teljes képet biztosító nemzetközi megközelítés
vélhetően még jó ideig várat magára. Ennek ismeretében szükség van a kibertér
nemzeti, nemzetbiztonsági, katonai vagy ágazati, esetleg egy-egy technikai vagy
eljárási szempontú vizsgálatára.
Az apró lépések segíthetnek egy későbbi, nagyobb léptékű cél
megvalósításában, illetve segítenek megérteni a fenyegetések stratégiai jelentőségét,
az ellátási lánc biztonságot, vagy a függőség által kialakuló hiányosságokat.
A fenti gondolatok után érthető a Katonai Nemzetbiztonsági Szolgálat
Tudományos Tanácsának törekvése a tudományos szempontból értékelhető,
publikálható ismeretek menedzselésére. Ez a törekvés azonban nem keverhető össze
a szerző bevezető gondolataival, vagy az egyes témák kifejtésére irányuló
erőfeszítéseivel...
737MAX
Why would a commercial airliner with a long history of safety and reliability experience two
recent fatal crashes within minutes of takeoff? Is it, in fact, a new aircraft, with fundamentally
different handling characteristics that required fundamentally different operational software --
and pilot training? And given the aircraft and airline industries' inherent interest in safety, how
could a new aircraft have been introduced into fleets worldwide without the requisite training?
Differences in costs -- and philosophies -- between hardware and software provide an
explanation.

cultures as well: Tfie sales force can't

BEST P R A C T I C E • Cultural Intelligence
A person with high emotional intelli-
gence grasps what makes us human and
at the same time what makes eacfi of us
different from one anotfier. A person
witfi fiigh cultural intelligence can some-
fiow tease out of a person's or group's
behavior those features that would be
true of all people and all groups, those
peculiar to this person or this group, and
those tfiat are neither universal nor idio-
syncratic. The vast realm that lies be-
tween those two poles is culture.
An American expatriate manager we
know had his cultural intelligence tested
while serving on a design team that in-
cluded two German engineers. As other
team members floated their ideas, the
engineers condemned them repeatedly
as stunted or immature or worse. The
manager concluded tfiat Germans in
general are rude and aggressive.
A modicum of culturaf intelligence
would have helped the American realize
he was mistakenly equating the.

Kiberbiztonság a XXI. században by Csaba Krasznay, PhD
Cybersecurity in the 21st Century
Tisztelt Olvasó!
Napi életünk mozzanataiba visszavonhatatlanul beépültek az elektronikus
szolgáltatások. Napjainkban már az alapképzésbe integrált tudatosításra van szükség
annak érdekében, hogy érthetőbb legyen az elektronikus információs környezet, az
ezzel kapcsolatos egyéni, közösségi vagy társadalmi szintű hatások.
Egyre nehezebb felismerni az elektronikus szolgáltatásokat. A mobiltelefon
szolgáltatások, az internet hozzáférés lassan alapszolgáltatásnak tekinthető
életünkben. Ugyanakkor az egyszerű halandó számára nem érzékelhető, hogy a napi
élet szolgáltatásai egyre jobban ráépülnek az elektronikus információs
szolgáltatásokra.
Néha előfordul, hogy nem lehet kártyával fizetni a boltban, nem lehet pénzt
felvenni az automatából karbantartás (vagy egyéb okok miatt), nincs internet, vagy
egyéb formában nem áll rendelkezésre egy-egy megszokott szolgáltatás. Mindez
rávilágít arra, hogy az elektronikus információs szolgáltatások által biztosított
számtalan előny mellett rengeteg fenyegetés veszélyezteti a napi élet biztonságát,
vagy a társadalmi vagy állami szempontból fontos szolgáltatásokat.
Példák részletezése nélkül is ismert, hogy nemzeti szinten is blokkolhatók -
gátolhatók elektronikus szolgáltatások, országrészek borulhatnak sötétségbe,
nemzeti egészségügyi rendszerek állíthatók le, regionális üzemanyagellátó
rendszerek működése akadályozható, esetleg nukleáris létesítmény működése válik
lehetetlenné a kibertéren keresztül történő kártékony beavatkozás eredményeképpen.
A kibertér biztonságával kapcsolatos kérdések vizsgálata napjainkban már nem
tekinthető újdonságnak. Ezzel együtt az is megállapítható, hogy az egyre szélesebb
körű nemzeti vagy nemzetközi vizsgálatok, publikációk nem egységes
szempontrendszer vagy módszertan szerint világítják meg a kibertéri történéseket.
Az egységes, strukturált, teljes képet biztosító nemzetközi megközelítés
vélhetően még jó ideig várat magára. Ennek ismeretében szükség van a kibertér
nemzeti, nemzetbiztonsági, katonai vagy ágazati, esetleg egy-egy technikai vagy
eljárási szempontú vizsgálatára.
Az apró lépések segíthetnek egy későbbi, nagyobb léptékű cél
megvalósításában, illetve segítenek megérteni a fenyegetések stratégiai jelentőségét,
az ellátási lánc biztonságot, vagy a függőség által kialakuló hiányosságokat.
A fenti gondolatok után érthető a Katonai Nemzetbiztonsági Szolgálat
Tudományos Tanácsának törekvése a tudományos szempontból értékelhető,
publikálható ismeretek menedzselésére. Ez a törekvés azonban nem keverhető össze
a szerző bevezető gondolataival, vagy az egyes témák kifejtésére irányuló
erőfeszítéseivel...
737MAX
Why would a commercial airliner with a long history of safety and reliability experience two
recent fatal crashes within minutes of takeoff? Is it, in fact, a new aircraft, with fundamentally
different handling characteristics that required fundamentally different operational software --
and pilot training? And given the aircraft and airline industries' inherent interest in safety, how
could a new aircraft have been introduced into fleets worldwide without the requisite training?
Differences in costs -- and philosophies -- between hardware and software provide an
explanation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Phillip fernbach - The Knowledge Illusion
- 1. The Knowledge Illusion Philip Fernbach Assistant Professor of Marketing Leeds School of Business Associate Member, Institute of Cognitive Science University of Colorado, Boulder Humans have built hugely complex societies and technologies, but most of us don’t even know how a pen or a toilet works. How have we achieved so much despite understanding so little? The answer is that we survive and thrive despite our mental shortcomings because we live in a rich community of knowledge. The key to our intelligence lies in the people and things around us. We’re constantly drawing on information and expertise stored outside our heads: in our bodies, our environment, our possessions, and the community with which we interact—and usually we don’t even realize we’re doing it. The human mind is both brilliant and pathetic. We have mastered fire, created democratic institutions, stood on the moon, and sequenced our genome. And yet each of us is error prone, sometimes irrational, and often ignorant. The fundamentally communal nature of intelligence and knowledge explains why we often assume we know more than we really do, why political opinions and false beliefs are so hard to change, and why individually oriented approaches to education and management frequently fail. But our collaborative minds also enable us to do amazing things; true genius can be found in the ways we create intelligence using the world around us. The talk will highlight research aimed at improving public discourse around divisive issues in light of individual ignorance and distributed knowledge.
