We look at the new book by Jack Bialik, see more about Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge here. Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge, reviewed An interesting premise for a book, with some interesting and thought provoking examples. Bialik's topic is the sad, unfortunate, and possibly more often than we realise, the loss of human knowledge. The burning of the library of Alexandria is of course one of the best known examples, but Bialik does a good job of describing many other lost libraries, some even in the last three decades like the Bosnian one. The narrative of the book is good, readable and thoughtful. At times though some of the examples were not much more than thumbnails, which made some chapters feel a little like a whistle stop tour through many different civilisations and cultures. The most disturbing section is arguably the one covering our recent rush into digitalisation and the inherent risks is rapidly changing technologies, especially due to the lack of backwards compatibility. While stone, papyrus and even paper have the capacity to last decades, centuries and even millennia, we already have plenty of photos that haven't even lasted from one phone upgrade to the next one. This really could be the digital dark ages that Vince Cerf highlighted. This book by Bialik is well worth a read, even if the implications and very serious. More about Lost in Time What if the knowledge we depend on today… disappeared tomorrow? Have you ever wondered how much of humanity's greatest achievements have already been lost to time? Do you suspect that ancient civilizations knew things we are only now beginning to rediscover? Do you worry that our own digital civilization might be far more fragile than we think? If so… keep reading. For thousands of years, human knowledge has risen, vanished, and - sometimes - been found again. From medical breakthroughs in ancient Egypt to astonishing feats of engineering by cultures we barely remember, history shows a repeating pattern: discovery, prosperity… and catastrophic loss. Now, with our reliance on digital systems and complex global networks, we may be closer than ever to our own "forgotten age." Drawing on over 40 years of professional experience in engineering, technology, and history - including work with the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Homeland Security, and contributions to critical technology programs> - Jack R. Bialik takes you on a journey across centuries of lost civilizations, vanishing wisdom, and the fragile threads holding our modern knowledge together. Here's a glimpse of what you'll discover inside Lost in Time: How cataract surgery was successfully performed in 2400 BC Egypt - and why we nearly lost that knowledge forever. The shocking truth about technologies invented thousands of years earlier than historians once believed. Forgotten disaster events that erased entire libraries of human understanding in a single day. The hidden risks of a fully digital society - and what history teaches us about protecting what matters. Lessons from the past that can guide business leaders, educators, and decision-makers today. How to recognize the warning signs of a coming knowledge collapse. …and much more. You might think a book like this requires deep academic expertise to follow - it doesn't. Bialik's clear, compelling style makes these stories accessible for curious readers, history lovers, business travelers, and lifelong learners alike. More about the author Jack R. Bialik's 40-year career spans from Electrical Engineering and Project Management to biblical studies, with notable contributions to organizations like the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Homeland Security. His industry-impacting paper, presented at the Motorola System Symposium 2000, stands out among his many achievements.

Describing Luffa as the "next-generation operating system" and "ultimate Web3 connector," Michael details how the platform aims to fix the current broken model where value is captured by platforms rather than fans and creators.

Working from a mindbody-spirit perspective, she has witnessed how when we do our own inner work, it can lead to a deeply meaningful and fun life! Working as a prayer partner with Father Nathan, Kimberly has been amazed at the benevolence, kindness, and creativity the heavenly helpers on the “other side” use to support souls on their journey in the afterlife. Kimberly enjoys spending time with her husband and family, good friends, and volunteering with Toastmasters International and in her home parish of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in San Pedro, California.Phillip West received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana. In 2014, he retired early from aerospace to pursue a journey of spiritual discovery. After the passing of both parents, he was inspired to serve those approaching end-of-life. Although COVID delayed those plans, he returned to graduate school to study pastoral counseling, trained as an end-of-life doula, and volunteers at hospice. He also gives time to caregiver and bereavement support groups in his community. Click this link and let us know what you love about The Joyful Friar Podcast!

For as far as we've come with AI and robotics, there's still a huge gap when it comes to combining the two. AI excels in the digital space, and in the physical world, robots are often pre-programmed. That's where physical AI comes in. It's critical for things that can't tolerate the kinds of mistakes that are common in today's statistics based AI, like self driving cars or managing the power grid. In the latest installment of our oral history project, we meet a central figure in these efforts, MIT's Daniela Rus.We Meet:  Daniela Rus is the Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Credits:This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Sumit and Viraj Dhanda, a father-son duo who are working to update and rethink norms around communication, intelligence, and inclusion. Viraj is a nonspeaking autistic student who was diagnosed with autism and apraxia as a young child. Viraj and his father, Sumit, talk about their journey navigating the challenges and misconceptions surrounding non-verbal communication, the impact of apraxia, and the importance of presuming competence. Viraj shares his personal experiences through a communication tool, and tells the story of when he and his father discovered his unique condition. TAKEAWAYS Many non-speakers have apraxia of speech. Potential can be missed when you fail to presume competence in non-speaking people. Typing can be a transformative communication tool for non-speakers. Misconceptions about non-verbal communication can be damaging. Advocacy and persistence can lead to breakthroughs in education. Parents should explore all communication options for their children. Non-speaking people can and do have rich, complex thoughts. Education systems should rethink expectations for non-speakers. Emerging technologies offer hope for non-speaking people. Viraj and Sumit Dhanda are a father-son duo reshaping the conversation around communication, intelligence, and inclusion. Viraj, a nonspeaking autistic student admitted to MIT's Class of 2029, was diagnosed with autism and apraxia in early childhood. Through typing, he broke through profound communication barriers and revealed extraordinary strengths in mathematics, writing, and critical thinking. His poetry and essays offer rare insight into the inner world of nonspeaking autistics and have been featured by The Boston Globe, CBS Evening News, and NPR's Here & Now. Sumit, a finance professional and former executive at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citadel Securities, and Evercore ISI, now dedicates much of his time to advocacy and storytelling alongside his son. With a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and graduate degrees from Dartmouth and BITS Pilani, Sumit brings a unique lens to the conversation. Together, they are co-authoring a memoir that weaves their two perspectives into one powerful narrative—challenging assumptions and expanding what we understand about neurodiversity and human potential.
