In my opinion, defining intelligence is much like defining beauty, and I don__ mean that it__ in the eye of the beholder. To illustrate, let__ say that you are the only beholder, and your word is final. Would you be able to choose the 1000 most beautiful women in the country? And if that sounds impossible, consider this: Say you__e now looking at your picks. Could you compare them to each other and say which one is more beautiful? For example, who is more beautiful_ Katie Holmes or Angelina Jolie? How about Angelina Jolie or Catherine Zeta-Jones? I think intelligence is like this. So many factors are involved that attempts to measure it are useless. Not that IQ tests are useless. Far from it.

How to Sell Everything to Anybody. Eight Great Habits of CEOs. They all seemed to involve numbers, as if you could simply count yourself to riches, like following sheep to sleep.

Exfiltrated metadata from internet service providers and social media platforms can be plugged into big data analytics and once the right algorithm is applied, can allow an adversary surgically precise psychographic targeting of critical infrastructure executives with elevated privileges. Why is no one talking about this?

Yesterday__ decision-making strategies are ill-equipped to deal with petabyte information flows.

Ambiguity is not, today, a lack of data, but a deluge of data.
