理查德·里夫斯: 如何解决男孩和男性的教育危机？
在研究不平等和社会流动性时，理查德·里夫斯发现了一个令人惊讶的事实：在一些国家，如美国和英国，男孩在许多学术评估中远远落后于女孩。他解释了为什么学校中的这些挣扎反映出男孩和男性所面临的更大危机，并概述了社会如何深思熟虑地应对这些挑战，以期朝着更具包容性、公平性的未来前进。（之后是与TED主管克里斯·安德森的问答环节）

I am running again up Mt. Royal, straight from my house. This after a break of almost 5 years, due to a not properly diagnosed knee injury. It took a Swiss rheumatologist to figure out what's going on, and to put me back on track .
I am still running at a moderate pace, but slowly building up 😊

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it
AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event
Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

In Brazil, the free and instant mobile payment system Pix challenges US dominance
Launched by the Central Bank of Brazil, this system is now used more than credit cards and cash. Its popularity is so great that WhatsApp had to abandon a payment system it wanted to launch locally.
