"Jonathan Anomaly is the Academic Director of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics program at UDLA. He has taught at many universities around the USA, including Duke, Penn, UNC, and San Diego. His interests are broad, but he tends to write about collective action problems, especially those that arise from the use of new biomedical technology.

An articulate teacher with spot on topics...our institutions need to get up to speed on these ideas!

This video is a good complement to Anomaly's book, Creating Future People: the science and ethics of genetic enhancement. What I like about the video and the book is that he asks provocative questions but leaves it for the audience to decide which way we should go.

I watched Anomaly's video "Conformity in the Cathedral, " about how American universities have become centers for elite indoctrination, rather than places of free inquiry. Good to see some universities in the world still host interesting thinkers.

Good start- but very dishonest to only show the negatives of blank-slate theories and not of those that purport natural inequalities.
