Matt - Thank you for your genuine and heartfelt words. This community is lucky to have you as the flag bearer, and I am grateful to be a part of this project. You have done so much to enable and further the effectiveness of this community.
I also believe that this work will have great benefits for society, and I expect that these benefits may surprise us. Perhaps one of these will be a better understanding of ourselves. Let us hope we make great strides forward in the upcoming year! - Jeff On Sun, Dec 27, 2015 at 6:15 AM Matthew Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello NuPIC, > > I'm not a religious person, but like many Americans I take this > opportunity to remember how fortunate I am to have been born under the > particular circumstances that have enabled me to prosper as a human > being, a familial provider, and a technological adventurer. > > Talent and ability are so often left neglected on this planet because > we as humans have not developed a global environment where every > person has the opportunity to thrive and bring their special gifts to > the rest of the population.
