i wondered if you find that surprising as a player and what your own intuitions were coming into it. >> i think my intuition is that music is something that gets received in some sense or another, like radio, like something you pick up. it is a vibration. when i have written my own music for the guitar, a lot of times it is the result of having experienced something and having to absorb it like you might absorb a vibration or light our experience something rhythmic like walking down the street. >> a lot of composers say they feel like they are not really creating the music. they're channeling it. roseanne cash talks about holding up her catcher's mitt and catching one as it goes by. someone else talks about how the music is everywhere for anyone to take, that you just have to tune into it. >> driving down here today, there was a rough patch of road because there was construction. you are feeling the road. it makes you aware that no matter where you are or what you are doing, you could be some ki, and you hear something may be rise out of that rhythm. for me, personally, a lot of time

i prepared as much as i could, but now my intuition has to take over.olodkin: there's always a surprise. she may walk down the street in new york and see something that catches her eye, and unbeknownst to me, even though everything technically is going well in the shop, this new bit of information may change the work. wayne: actually, i want to link two ideas -- one that's new, and the other one i used in a painting maybe 50 years ago. this was presented as the two halves of the atomic bomb in life magazine at that time. and i used that image in a painting in 1951, i think. they're quite different contexts. the serrated edges of the two halves fit together, but make a larger contact area so that a nuclear reaction could take place between them. solodkin: what made you think to bring that image back here so many years later? wayne: in a way, i was always hooked on the paradox of that image, what we are capable of, both for good and for evil. and of course, that image represents evil to me. i'm interested in the nature of nature and the degree to which it

and everyone intuitively understands that that system is dramatically saying that cigarettes tomorrow is illegal. >> it is different, it is different. i agree with that. but you pointed out, and i agree with you on this, that the government set up these emergency room laws. the government set up medicaid. the government set up medicare. the government set up chp and therefore 40 million people who don't have private insurance. in that world government has set up commerce. it's all over the united states. and in that world of course the decision by the 40 million not to buy the insurance affects that commerce and substantially so, so i thought the issue here is not whether it's a violation of some basic right or something to make people buy something that they don't want but simply whether those decisions of that group of 40 million people substantially affect the interstate commerce that has been set up in part through these other programs, so that's the part of your argument i'm not hearing. >> oh, please, it is clear that the failure to buy health insurance doesn't affect anyone. de

>> he was right about what he said, because he doesn't believe that intuition is magic.e thinking has a magic to it. is bound to be right. he has examples in his book where intuition does not work. very few people remember those examples. they remember the example intuition doesn't -- >> you say that president bush was by instinct, he was a guy who reacted by instinct and his gut. >> but he was a fast thinker, you said. >> i mean, he took pride in being a fast thinker. he took pride in acting on his gut. >> and president obama he said is a slow thinker. >> well, you know, again, it's not necessarily that he thinks more slowly than president bush. he makes decisions -- >> it has nothing to do with his intelligence. >> right. he makes decisions more deliberately. he clearly thinks more, he looks at both sides. which by the way, in terms of impression it makes on the public is not an advantage. the public, i think, likes decision makers who makes decisions very quickly. >> we also would like them to be right. >> yes. >> we like them to be right. between really before we kno

you like intuitive surgical, why? >> i should point out that even if reform doesn't get overtur d overturned, one way or the other we're going to acquire cost control. ben bernanke says health care costs to the elephant in the room. any company that lowers costs and intuitive falls into that bracket, if you will, is going to win regardless of the outcome of the court. however, intuitive improves the outcomes and lowers costs and is going to do well regardless -- especially with an improving economy or the assumption of an improving economy driving utilization. >> you're long in medical systems. the same reason? >> varian, probably way for a pullback. it's gotten a little ahead of itself. what we like about intuitive and varian is that they're innovators. they're creating new and better products. that's going to succeed in whatever health care environment comes next. >> all right. what are you short, then? i see it's medtronic and stryker. is it because they do not innovate? >> yes. they're less innovative and tend mor

was that intuitive on its own? could you flesh that out a little bit?at was a bit of necessity. i was asked to put together a collection of my transcriptions in 1990. it was the first time that i had to sit down and transcribe all my music. until then, i had done it in my head. i learned things so fundamental that i did not know i was doing. sometimes i did not realize that there were extra beats, i would change the meter for two bars. in that process, i learned a lot. also, of teaching. when you start to teach, you have to think about what you're doing so you can explain it to somebody else in a meaningful way. i think it was that process of having to write and transcribe music that made me aware that you can analyze something, to benefit, but one needs to be careful that the analytical side does not wipe out the initial impulse to write music. >> there is that famous story where a music ecologist told john lennon that he ended a song in an alien cadence, and he says, i did? this program is provided by the commonwealth club in forum. tonight we are pre

them to explain it to you -- that is a good indication of the simplicity of the system, if it is intuitive. most people are familiar with yelp ratings. they tend to assume you are adding up the points. whereas with rent-choice voting, if i talked to the average person and say, "describe the other rhythm," -- algorythm," people think it is weighted. they cannot explain the system. >> good afternoon again. eric burke, san francisco green party and the local group our city. thank you for studying this issue. i do find it a little unfortunate that advocates improve the voting systems like ninth choice and others being presented by members of the public would be at odds with each other on this stuff. i think once we gets done -- once we get done studying it, as we evolve through the way we study voting systems, we can get better. ranked joyce has been in place in many places, including other countries. it has been shown to be effective. i personally follow every election very carefully, and have never seen anything alarming about ranked choice which made me think the person who was best for tha

a lot of it was on the basis of intuition and passion. the ice is obvious. there is no refrigeration. unless you have a recreational vehicle. you need to preserve food. and we sell it, rather than give it away. we want people to try to prepare themselves and think through everything they need to survive. that is the other part, survival and gifting, an interesting combination. coffee, we had a cafe. it was a pretty elegant location and we thought it was pretty funny. but as the city grew, just as any city, we need public gathering places, places where people could go who did not know others. you know, one reason tourists go to union square, and they go to a public place where they can belong without knowing anybody. every city needs space like that. we realized at our scale, we needed a civic plaza. we thought about bands, but as soon as you put them up on stage, you have these consuming crowds listening to the band. the longer they stood there the more beer bottle they drop on the ground. that did not seem attractive at all. we do not leave a trace after th

intuitively it seems fair but it's stupid says art laffer.it stupid. >> you know, basically rewarding people for not working and punishing people for not working doesn't make a lot of sense to me. you will get a lot of people not working which is exactly what is happening. poor doesn't need handouts. only way prosperous is with good high paying jobs and that is what the policies don't do. if you raise tax rates on the rich the economy performs less well and not better. that is problem with obama's statement and warren buffett who everyone is clapping. they have a misguided perception. >> john: one of the things they say is that, okay, you make an argument that handouts make people not work. but we're going to invest the money in good things and that is how we created the internet. we invested in the internet and look at all the wealth that was described from that. >> there are some government expenditures that are really good. i don't want to knock those, but when the government picks private investments, their record is pretty poor. you see

i love this picture, this is a little bit counter intuitive in that baby boomers are the fastest growing segment of the population to create jobs. it's not who you think it is, it's people aged 55 to 64 who are really getting out there to start new companies. and the kaufmann foundation has got a lot of research on this, the average age of a first time entrepreneur in the united states is 39. that surprises people, and in fact it tilts toward a lot more people in the baby boomer age range than you would ever expect. there's 76 million people in that demographic and they truly are going to redefine retirement. they may not retire. and there are reasons for that. some of it is people are living longer, they're healthy longer. some of it is economics base, maybe they need to stay in the workforce. but we're seeing them drive a lot of innovation and entrepreneurial growth. as leaders of states, there are certain things to think about here, how do you tap into that population? i mean, they cannot only start companies, they can be angel investors in companies. they certainly can be mentors, th

i'm going to say something that may not be as intuitive. if you look at the journal of commerce index and the crb, it's actually down year-over-year. everyone looks at oil and gasoline prices being up. when they're off modestly as a whole, it tends to hurt margins and dent benefit corporate margins. only about 10% comes from corporate commodities and about 63% comes from labor. good job numbers hurt margins. >> tobiatobias, we've seen in t past markets go quite high because of multiple expansions because margins are flat and going down and markets aren't great. why can't we see that this year? >> i think we can. that's our argument all along. we look at -- in fact, there's an inverse relationships between margins and pes. as margins go up pes go down, so i think you're price inning that kind of recession. zach, just to make the last point here, we're looking for 1425 on the s&p. we put that target out late last year when a lot of people weren't willing to do that high. you know, we've had a nice run-in here. we're talking about a short-term

here we have to look at the deep seated moral intuitions that differ from left to right, and i say intuition because reality is something felch. its emotional and visits to down a course of reasoning. it's not necessarily over your control but it has the revulsion of someone who disagrees of you are a situation. by individualism what i mean is the private the system the government leaves you alone. it's the opposite of communitarian as some of which the government takes care of the people. they also tend towards a hierarchical morality meaning that its various types of inequality are okay. they are threatened by global warming because it means markets have failed and governments, global governments in some cases have to step in and fix things and they might have to interfere and this threatens the way the world to work deeply and some of them will go in for conspiracy theories and say that scientists were the world of collaborating with the u.n. to hoax us and believe this false thing. why would they require. these people can't agree on anything but it's because they embrace that belief in t

evidence for these authors i mentioned unavoidably restricted their understanding of this counter intuitive and highly secret exit option and i don't have time to discuss the misunderstanding. working with an abundant tapes, i argued from late 1970 to 1971 when the nixon-kissinger strategy had clearly failed to force the other side to make vital concessions, the ones nixon and kissinger wanted and nixon and kissinger prioritized the decent interval option. it had evolved, in other words, from one designed in 1969, for the purpose of providing two with, in kissinger's words, a decent chance of enduring for an in determi period to provide with sufficient military assistance and equipment to survive for in kissinger's words, a reasonable or decent interval of at least one to three years after the american departure, long enough to dilute the perception of nixon and kissinger's responsibilities, such as it was, one way or the other, in likely defeat. and south viet nam collapsed. they had geared their tactics toward achieving a settlement on or around the time of the u.s. presidential election

it comes down to a simple idea which is intuitive and you know it. the economy is not a fixed pie. when you expand the labor curve, a simple economist will say the price of labor goes down and we're all hurt. the more people that work here, the more people that are chasing jobs and we're all doomed. wrong. the expansion of the available labor force creates opportunities that did not exist before. you have innovation and entrepreneurialism that increases the actual size of small and medium-sized businesses. they consume and that expands the demand curve. you have a dynamic economy for 90% of u.s. born workers that enhances their wages. the other 9% got whacked up side the head with globalization and immigration and everything you can list and they need help. getting rid of immigrants doesn't really help them. the final point is if you look at the last 15 years, 25% of publicly traded companies in the united states are essentially from the bay area region and one out of four was started by an immigrant. we have great data on this because it's all transparent. you can look it up. you
