Thank you a lot for the link to the speech of George Gilder. I found it very interesting for the very reason he pointed out, "information is surprise" which is not his invention of expression but by someone else's; I have to look up the name once again and am happy he refers to authors and thinkers not very well known.
I am a huge believer of the benefits of surprise, it's an effect of the unexpected, the creative and often the spontane.
There were some other things which I have not heard so far and I am inclined to look up if what he says can be true. That the nucleus family actually supported the industrial revolution and not being a product of industrialization, like everyone thinks. HaHa.
Anyway, thanks a lot for providing with unusual people and ideas.
I would like to have the sliders or powerpoints from that lecture. Do you know where to get it?
