Living forever...would you really want to?
Is death really the final frontier? While no one, so far, has been able to cheat it, the desire to do so has existed throughout the ages. For those who fear the Reaper, recent decades have given rise to hope in the form of cryonics: a process that counts on future scientific advances to restore the frozen dead to new life (alas, no one has come back as yet). But today there’s a whole new immortality game in town: mind transfer, also called mind copying, brain back-up, mind uploading or whole brain emulation.

Synchronicity: The Sacred Flow
The world is full of magic. You know, those times when, say, you’ve been talking about a deceased loved one and something uncanny happens—a red cardinal suddenly alights nearby, but wait, wasn’t that their favorite bird? And then you start seeing red cardinals everywhere; it’s so odd, so improbable, so wondrous, you can’t help but think, “Well, hmm, this is certainly strange.”

Keeping Company With Cats
They’re everywhere these days. There are even special days devoted to them. There’s Caturday, which originally began by people posting LOL (Laughing Out Loud) pictures of cats online on Saturdays. There’s International Cat Day, and then there’s today: National Cat Day. You had no idea? Shhh…don’t tell kitty!

Saving the Retail ‘Experience’
Remember when going to the mall meant driving around for an eternity looking for a parking spot? If so, you probably also remember a time when shopping could be a real outing not to mention a dose of retail therapy that fed a hungry era of conspicuous consumption—and, if you were a boisterous teenager back then, hanging out at the mall was also the de rigueur social experience!

What No More ‘Whole Paycheck’ Means for Retailers
Was it our imagination, or was the Whole Foods at Bryant Park near our office busier on August 28th when prices were first slashed on organic avocados, ground beef, kale, eggs and more following Amazon’s $13.7 billion takeover of the organic grocer? While the cashier noted it was always busier on Mondays, a sign at the entrance bearing Whole Foods Market and Amazon logos and a hand clutching a colorful bunch of newly picked farm tomatoes bore a greater optimism: We’re growing something good: This is just the beginning.

What’s ‘Bugging’ the Food Industry? Bug protein–packed foods meet the health-conscious, eco-friendly consumer
Mealworms…remember those creepy little critters that used to crawl out of the flour in your junior high school science class experiments? Well, they’re b-aack, joined by crickets as a source of high quality protein making their way into bars, pasta sauce, and more—and into consumers’ hands. If you think this is just a passing bug fancy, consider that the growing use and acceptance of insect protein strongly aligns with consumer values.

Cloned Humans: Unethical or Evolutionary?
Ever since the announcement, in 1997, of the successful cloning of “Dolly,” a much-celebrated sheep, the possibility of cloning humans has caused concern over its scientific and ethical implications—and a healthy skepticism and fear. While public outcry may have simmered down a bit since then, many believe it’s no longer a matter of whether scientists will one day create a genetically identical copy of a human, but when. Research for therapeutic human cloning is under way with attempts to clone embryos that put an individual’s adult DNA into an egg to create stem cells that won’t be rejected by the immune system—a “repair kit” for damaged hearts and other worn-out parts. But, some worry that this might lead to reproductive cloning. Made-to-order babies. A super-race—even a “post-human” race. “Without cloning,” Princeton biologist Lee Silver states, “genetic engineering is simply science fiction. But with cloning, genetic engineering moves into the realm of reality.” Many scientists and physicians have condemned human cloning as potentially dangerous and ethically irresponsible. Others cite benefits that include stopping the transmission of defective genes, aiding infertile women—and even appeasing the grief of individuals who wish to resurrect a lost loved one with a “twin.” Either way, the race is on. Unethical and dangerous? …Or the next step in humanity’s evolution?
