On the other hand, it is obviously negative in its degree. Paramount here are biomedical and informational technologies, “lower” mass consumption aspects, aggressively challenging everything human-sized and individually tailored, able to radically transform that is nationally unique, original and, sometimes, higher and better human genes, bodies and psyches, human nature itself. developed.

This year (2007) there is no MUSES Journal per se; instead, members will receive a free copy of my SELECTED PHILOSOPHICAL AND HISTORICAL ESSAYS 1985-2005 on CD rom. This is a 795 page book, which has been published in hard back form by www.lulu.com/iipsgp –The essays are divided into 9 sections, one dedicated to each to the 9 Muses, as is the normal Muses Love Journal from IIPSGP. I hope you enjoy them ! Next year a Journal !

As states such as Russia are fi nding out, in a rap- idly globalizing economy, shortages of skilled labor can lead to a decline in scientifi c achievement and a loss of economic pro- ductivity. Ultimately, the failure to address a nation’s talent gap could result in a decline in political infl uence in the global arena.
