Google claims its new quantum computer –  the D-Wave 2x system – will leave its competitors in the dust.

Does it make sense to speak of the human soul in the postmodern world? Can a fresh new inquiry into this topic make a meaningful difference in our personal and social lives? I fervently believe so, given that so much is at stake in our time of crisis and confusion. I also sense an urgent need for such an investigation because of recent advances in neuroscience, consciousness studies, paranormal studies, depth psychology, and integral theory, which serve to make the question... Read more

Chasing short-term profits at the expense of social responsibility can no longer be the business model of the future. As Unilever CEO Paul Polman put it, "Investing in the common good, investing in the long term, is a better investment than just your short-term self-interest." Read more
