1953. When psychologists James Olds and Peter Milner discovered a way to stimulate sexual pleasure in the brain, two key findings emerged: one was the neuroanatomy of pleasure and happiness. The second was how catastrophe befell anyone able to harness and channel pleasure at will. The test subjects of their seminal paper were rats, placed to wander aimlessly in a Skinner Box, a chamber designed to study conditioned behavior. When interacting with the lever, the rodents would receive an electrical stimulation which elicited pleasure in their septal region. In other tests, the end result of pul ..read more

March is Women’s History Month. And are the times shifting for women? Yes, they are. Our institutions are taking a more and more active stance to address the imbalance of power affecting our societal life.

Looking at the curve sketched by the theoretical framework of Moore’s law, one could derive a plethora of conclusions. Some would be academic. Platitudes, at worst. But should our observer happen to be a particularly boorish individual, they might be intrigued by this curve – and yet speechless. Unable, maybe, to verbalize their astonishment about how technology is shaping people’s lives. We might picture them, after one too many glasses of Bourbon, blabbering something along the lines of: “Man! The world sure has had a hard-on for tech, lately”. “Lately” being “the last 70 years”, of course ..read more
