At school, I had academia shoved in my face, but it was just stunting my creative development.
I think if somebody is so set in their ways about what they feel about something – and you get this a lot in academia, of course, and also different sorts of journalism too – you’re going to sweep under the carpet the facts that don’t suit your thesis. And I think that happens quite a lot in the courtroom, for instance.
There’s a lot of potential for machine learning all around the world. We’re seeing it in academia, at other companies, in government.
My mother was a very good violinist; my father was a musicologist and spent most of his life in academia.
When people think about ‘thinking,’ they often think ‘academia;’ they think ‘threat.’ They think ‘coldness.’ I want to reverse all those images and say, ‘No, the brain God gave you is intended to throw fuel on the fire of your affections for God. It’s really good at it if you let it.’
Terrorists remain determined to find a weakness in our defence… To stay ahead of the terrorists, I call on the international community, the private sector, and academia to share knowledge, expertise, and resources to prevent new technologies becoming lethal terrorist weapons.
It’s very important that there should be cross-fertilisation between government and academia. Both parties can benefit from having a better understanding of how the other works.
These poor women in academia have to talk this silly language that nobody can understand in order to be accepted, they think.
Materialist philosophies that treat human beings as machines or animals possess the high ground in our culture – academia, the most powerful media and many of our courts.
Society understands the architecture of academia and knows there are relevant qualifications in different fields, and the media accepts the idea of specialisations and accords greater respect to those with greater expertise. With one exception: climate science.
A lot of the progress in machine learning – and this is an unpopular opinion in academia – is driven by an increase in both computing power and data. An analogy is to building a space rocket: You need a huge rocket engine, and you need a lot of fuel.
Like many in academia and in the development industry, I am among globalization’s greatest beneficiaries – those who are able to sell our services in markets that are larger and richer than our parents could have dreamed of.
Drawings, paintings, and sculptures. That’s the three pillars of art academia.
Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.
I’m not qualified for anything. I’ve had lots of little jobs, like picking grapes and being a tax man. I can’t imagine not writing, because I’ve done it since I was five or six. Maybe I’d work in academia. That’s always what the plan was.
Though I have friends aplenty in academia, I don’t operate within the academic system myself.
