It’s been a momentous month for space-faring billionaires. On July 11, British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson’s Unity “rocket-plane” flew him and five fellow passengers about 85 kilometres above Earth. And this week, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ New Shepard capsule reached an altitude of 106km, carrying Bezos, his brother, and the oldest and youngest people ever to reach such a height. Passengers on both flights experienced several minutes of weightlessness and took in breathtaking views of our beautiful and fragile Earth.  Both flights created an avalanche of med ..read more

The World’s Most Disturbing Piece Of Art
The Asian Entrepreneur Magazine | Knowledge & Insights on Entrepreneurship in Asia
by Ella Alderson
2y ago
The series culminated with Rhythm 0, or what can surely be described as one of the world’s most profound and yet horrifying pieces of art. All of the performances in the Rhythm series were meant to test the limits of the human body, beginning with knife-play in the first performance and gradually mounting to the destruction and seduction of the final piece. The artist Marina Abramovic sought to give an authentic exploration of the body — consciousness and unconsciousness, its corporeal pain, its pleasure, its ability to reveal facets of humanity and womanhood. A woman wipes tear ..read more

The Secrets Of Technology Ecology
The Asian Entrepreneur Magazine | Knowledge & Insights on Entrepreneurship in Asia
by Gideon Rosenblatt
2y ago
Technology is an outgrowth of nature. The computer, the clock and the car are, in one sense, no different from the anthill, the beehive and the beaver dam. Each are creations of creatures – modifications of the environment, which in turn, modify the environment. If ecology is “the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment,” then a technology ecology is the study of technology’s interactions with other technologies, with organisms and with the environment. So, why might that be important?  A Holistic View of Technology W. Brian Arthur is a breakthrough thinker ..read more

The Asian Entrepreneur Magazine | Knowledge & Insights on Entrepreneurship in Asia
by The Conversation

With the world in lockdown at the moment, a common experience is a warped sense of time and poor memory. What day is it? What week is it? Did I go to the supermarket yesterday, or was it the day before? Am I actually in the movie Groundhog Day and experiencing the same day over and over? While lockdown can have a range of impacts such as anxiety and depression — both of which can impair memory — these aren’t the whole picture. There is increasing theoretical and experimental evidence that suggests both memory and time perception are based on the same underlying principle: a change in your ..read more

In May 1937, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the quiet town of Dudley, England for the grand opening of a new zoo. Throngs of visitors battled for entry for a space that could hold 50,000 a day, leaving many disappointed. Those lucky enough to gain entry would have seen the wonders of modern architecture on full display, all in service to the many animals that called this place home. However, did the animals like their new modernist quarters? Probably not! Today, zoos often go to great lengths to build eco-friendly and comfortable habitats for their animals. They are not just space ..read more
