It was just on while I was playing Dark Souls.
Singularity University: A School for Entrepreneurs Who Want to Change the World
Founded in 2009 by Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis, Singularity University is a start-up university in Silicon Valley. SU’s mission is “…to assemble, educate and inspire a cadre of leaders who strive to understand and facilitate the development of exponentially advancing technologies to address humanity’s challenges.”
Singularity University is not your father’s college.
In August of 2011, Reason.tv’s Paul Feine and Alex Manning traveled to Singularity University to get to know a few of the 80 students who participated in SU’s 10-week interdisciplinary summer graduate program. We encountered a fascinating group of young entrepreneurs who have big plans to use technology to help the world’s poor…and make a profit!
Approximately 6 minutes.
At 9:45 Bernanke gets asked a question about Ron Pauls view the Fed, he then continues to say at 10:50 that “the gold standard did not create price stablity over the short run”, But what about the long run!!!
This is just excellent. Simple, easy to follow, great visuals, important lesson…and the examples they use are perfect even for leftists.
It’s preparation for an incubator?
I don’t know what you mean…but you think you could at least remove the embedded video from your quote? It makes the thread cumbersome
@JJ: Nice find on the “anti-dumping” vid. Someone needs to make an animated version of I, Pencil similar to that vid.

An incubator is where startups go to learn and grow their business enough for VC money, etc., and they get offices and other resources in a common setting with other startups. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_incubator
A neat Rothbard interview I stumbled upon in the LewRockwell.com archives (with some comments on Friedman that I liked):
The most libertarian thing said on star trek
Description:
“I was watching voyager episodes when i heard this and nearly spit out my Pepsi. If people genuinely understood this the world would be a much better place.”
Steven Crowder may have crossed the line from being a useful idiot to an actual useless idiot.
Can anyone distinguish a point in any of this? Or was this just an excuse for him to scratch his acting itch and his need to make fun of people he disagrees with, at the same time?
Tom Woods is involved in another documentary that needs some support…
(The other one is The Panic of 2008)
Cain Talks Libya, Pulls A Perry
“So in the Perry aftermath, is everyone now going for the sympathy “I am just as big an idiot as Dubya” card, or are all Republican candidates seriously insane and/or raving, deranged lunatics? Will it seriously be that difficult to give Ron Paul a full body botox, cut off his frontal lobe, have him grope several women, promise to bomb someone or something, execute a few hundred illegal immigrants, and see him gain 200 extra pounds? Because if that is what it will take to make him “appeal” to the general Joe Sixpack, so be it: if America ends up with one of these other muppets it is doomed. Doomed.”

Would love to see Dr. Paul show up at the next debate like this:
On second thought, this might really be a good idea?
So, Tay Zonday (of Chocolate Rain fame) made a song about the economy. There’s some good, along with some bad. He makes some comments about how product break down more cheaply and keep you buying stuff on credit and whatnot, but what the hey, it’s just a youtube video:
If taxing a behavior discourages it, why not institute high taxes on the poor?
