THE RACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND DATA IN MEDICINE
Researchers, doctors and biologists benefit from the massive amount of available information as health data becomes digitized. But it also becomes harder and harder for human brains to uncover the complexity and extract insights. Data is generated at a much faster pace than knowledge. This is THE scientific challenge. We need to create the tools to help human collective intelligence extract knowledge from this influx of data. Parts of these technologies already exist, parts need to be invented. OWKIN creates AI technologies to advance knowledge and discover the medicine of tomorrow.
Vivek Chibber, author of Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital: "A typical maneuver of postcolonial theorists is to say something like this: Marxism relies on abstract, universalizing categories. But for these categories to have traction, reality should look exactly like the abstract descriptions of capital, of workers, of the state, etc. But, say the postcolonial theorists, reality is so much more diverse. Workers wear such colorful clothes; they say prayers while working; capitalists consult astrologers — this doesn’t look like anything what Marx describes in Capital. So it must mean that the categories of capital aren’t really applicable here." "I am endorsing the view that there are some common interests and needs that people have across cultures."

Pekka Mäkelä. Introduction to Consolidative Consumption Hyödykkeiden tuotannossa tavoitteena on jatkuvasti parantaa tuottavuutta. Tässä tarkoituksessa tuotantovälineiden käyttöaste pyritään pitämään mahdollisimman korkeana. Yleisesti hyväksytyn käsityksen mukaan kulutustavaroiden ja palvelujen varsinainen tarkoitus on tuottaa hyvinvointia niiden käyttäjille. Hyödykkeiden eli kulutusvälineiden käyttöaste on kuitenkin jäänyt alhaiseksi. Kuluttajiksi määritettyjen kansalaisten moraaliseksi velvollisuudeksi on asetettu käyttökelpoistenkin tavaroiden sysääminen syrjään alati muuntuvien uutuuksien tieltä. The possibility of change assumes, in my opinion, practices carried out in the spirit of concrete utopia as presented by Ernst Bloch. For the development of such practices, the group representing consumers calling out for a change needs a theory of critical praxis. My conclusion, in sum, is to propose an updating of the key concepts of economy from the perspective of consumption. Not just consumption but economy as a whole needs to be reconceptualized.
Jared Diamond: "Faktorerna bakom ett samhälles förmåga eller oförmåga att upptäcka och lösa sina problem kan grupperas i fem kategorier: mänsklig påverkan på nödvändiga resurser, extern klimatförändring, relationer med vänliga samhällen, relationer med fi
