Silicon Valley wants to be a meritocracy. Here’s why it’s not. | Margret O'Mara

Give yourself the gift of knowledge — subscribe to Big Think Edge: http://bit.ly/bigthinkedge If you're a great engineer, you can get ahead in Silicon Valley — to a certain extent. - Silicon Valley prides itself on rewarding good engineers, regardless of gender or race. But that may not actually reflect reality. - The Valley started out as a Mad Men-esque place, where women in particular were excluded. That culture still persists in the form of venture capitalists funding many of today's startups. - Furthermore, many in Silicon Valley fail to acknowledge how becoming a startup founder is often restricted to certain groups of people and how more diversity can ultimately result in a better product or service. Margaret O’Mara is the author of "The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America." (https://amzn.to/2m26zH7) She is a professor of history at the University of Washington, where she writes and teaches about the history of U.S. politics, the growth of the high-tech economy, and the connections between the two.

What NASA can teach us about education reform | Matt Candler

If teachers weren't taught to fear failure, could they see greater success in the mission of education? - Founder of 4.0 Schools, Matt Candler, questions why school has stayed overwhelmingly the same the past 100 years. As a teacher, he sees the future of schools embracing mutual curiosity in both students and educators. - He points to the example of NASA scientists, who approach missions with the idea that failure is welcome and necessary. Failure during preparation ensures the mission will succeed when the time comes to perform. - Candler suggests that this idea should hold up in discussions of education reform and how teachers are trained in their approach to learning.

If reality is a data structure, can the simulation theory hold up? | Donald Hoffman

Give yourself the gift of knowledge — subscribe to Big Think Edge: http://bit.ly/bigthinkedge Exploring the idea that objects we perceive in everyday life do not reflect objective reality. - Professor of cognitive science Donald Hoffman presents his theory that the world we perceive is a virtual reality. Hoffman has tested this theory by running successful computer simulations that suggest there is no objective reality. - When it comes to Nick Bostrom's simulation theory, Hoffman agrees with parts and disagrees with others. Hoffman argues that, while space time and physical objects do not correspond with objective reality, conscious experiences like the smell of garlic and the feel of velvet cannot be produced by the simulation. - "You can't start with unconscious ingredients and boot up consciousness," Hoffman says. Hoffman is professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine. His writing has appeared in Scientific American and Edge, and his work has been featured in the Atlantic, Wired, and Quanta. He resides in Irvine, California. His latets book is "The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes" (https://amzn.to/2lAuCMS) If you're interested in licensing this or any other Big Think clip for commercial or private use, contact our licensing partner Executive Interviews: https://ift.tt/2IQF1gR Read more at BigThink.com: https://ift.tt/2HzCt5A Follow Big Think here: YouTube: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Facebook: https://ift.tt/1qJMX5g Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthink
