Camila Batmanghelidjh of Kids Company at the Francis Crick Institute in 2014?

"The London Evening Standard chose the Francis Crick Institute as the venue to unveil its annual list of the 1000 most influential people in London this evening...
This year's edition of The 1000, which has been published in association with The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust and the Francis Crick Institute, has a special focus on London's contribution to science, medicine and global humanitarism

Paul Nurse , the director of the Crick , was listed as one of the capital's 10 most influential people. Renowned scientist Stephen Hawking and the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai were also recognised.. for their contributions
That's interesting
Someone else who works with the Crick Institute is Tomaso Poggio .. who worked with Demis Hassabis - DeepMind co-founder

Letter from Francis Crick to Tomaso Poggio
profiles.nlm.nih.gov/spotlight/sc/c…
Demis Hassabis - DeepMind co-founder - did his PhD in cognitive neuroscience at UCL in 2009 under the supervision of Eleanor Maguire - Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL where she is also a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_M…
Maguire heads the Memory and Space research laboratory at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL
Maguire's team mainly employ ecologically valid or 'real life' experimental paradigms to examine brain-behaviour relationships; eg.. using VR to examine navigation investigating autobiographical memories of people's ..ability to imagine fictitious and future scenes and events..
Perhaps the most famous of these is her series of studies on London taxi drivers,where she documented changes in hippocampal structure associated w/acquiring the knowledge of London's layout. Aredistribution of grey matter was indicated in London Taxi Drivers compared to controls
"The hippocampi of London taxi drivers swell as they learn the city's streets."

No wonder they want people to stop driving

And to limit people's ability to move around with their 15-minute SMART cities

But I digress..

Hmm.. I'd forgotten about this

Heinz Pagels and John Brockman ?

Becoming ever clearer why Yuval Noah Harari thinks they can hack the human mind

Just leaving this 2014 tweet here for later

" 'Neural Holography, the Dreaming Brain, and Free Will'" - Fred Alan Wolf
Alot of things clicking for me at the moment

I need to drop this here too, for now

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Pag…

Heinz Pagels obtained his PhD in elementary particle physics from Stanford University under the guidance of Sidney Drell - an arms control expert
Interview of Sidney Drell by Finn Aaserud on 1986 July 1,
Niels Bohr Library & Archives, American Institute of Physics,
College Park, MD USA,

In 1960, Drell was a founding participant in the Jasons , a secret group, then made up of physicists, that had been called together by Charles Townes to solve difficult problems for the Defense Department

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JASON_(ad…

The current provost at Stanford, physicist Persis Drell, is Sidney Drell's daughter

Radical Optimism?

Would that be something that Jordan Peterson is interested in?
Yup.

And why is that relevant?

Let's go back to..

Charles H. Townes
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_H…

shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics with Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov 👀

He was a member of the United Church of Christ
🤫

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Ch…

"The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination based in the United States, with historical and confessional roots in the Congregational, Calvinist, and Lutheran traditions,..

Later I'll go further into what role those morons at Cambridge Analytica have played in this current state of affairs in this #TheatreOfTheAbsurd

For now let's stick with The United Church of Christ (UCC)..
"A controversy arose over former U.S. president Barack Obama speaking at UCC gatherings, but the IRS found that the UCC had adhered to the prohibition against churches campaigning for political candidates "🍿

Pew tells us what's what
No, not that PEW 👇..

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pew_Resea…
The Pew Research Center, a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts, its primary funder. For its studies focusing on demographics of religions in the world, the Pew Research Center has been jointly funded by the Templeton Foundation

The Pew Charitable Trusts

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pew_C…

Well, aren't they something?
The Pew Charitable Trusts

> American Enterprise Institute (AEI)

🍿

Just dropping this in here - for when it's needed later
🤫

Back to Pew...
🤫🤫
Pew Charitable Trusts beneficiaries include:

"environmental organizations such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Oceana, and mainstream think tanks like the center-left Brookings Institution "

The professors' work at Hebrew University needs looking at, including Yuval Noah Harari

Just sayin'

And keep a note of all the large accounts that push Rustyrockets

🤔

Time to take a break

" White working-class students are excluded from almost all Oxbridge diversity scholarships, an analysis by The Telegraph has found. ..🤔
While all of the schemes can be used by students from black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, they almost entirely exclude white working-class students, who are one of the most under-represented groups in higher education."..

🤔
The universities have been accused of having a “two-tier academic society” after an inquiry report published on Monday found that white working-class children were some of the most disadvantaged and underachieving in English schools."..

GG : "Modern "smart cities" are not designed for freedom of movement; they are master-planned to force human bodies into predictable geometric choke points. .. Image
When urban architects and data scientists design a modern public space, they use a highly calculated discipline called Hostile Architecture combined with Spatial Syntax Mapping. The goal is simple: eliminate natural human unpredictability ..🎶
This architectural manipulation—the exact process that reshaped modern Manchester post-1996 and London's transport hubs—operates through four distinct design mechanisms:

"The "Manchester Model" was heavily shaped by Michael Bloomberg's philosophy on municipal executive leadership. Weeks after his initial 2017 mayoral election, Andy Burnham attended an intensive leadership program in New York funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies .. Image
Michael Bloomberg's philosophy on municipal executive leadership focuses on running cities like data-driven corporations rather than traditional political machines.

The UCL Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment directly translates this philosophy of data-driven governance Image
into academic research and actionable municipal policy.

The connection between Michael Bloomberg’s executive leadership style & UCL Bartlett is concrete, driven primarily by the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) within the faculty:

Hahaha, is that Rick Rubin?🎶
Y'all haven't been paying attention.
GG" The progression of Rick Rubin > Diddy > Rick James charts a spectrum from zen minimalism to unhinged maximalism, both in musical production style and lifestyle."

Jack Dorsey operates with the exact same philosophy of "extreme reduction" in the tech world that Rick Rubin Image
pioneered in the music studio. The two are close personal friends and frequent creative collaborators." Image
