This book is a compilation of entries from the blog entitled Scientific
Sense, written and maintained by me, Gill Eapen, from 2008 to 2012. They
fall in the general areas of Science, Economics and Policy. These
writings contain a set of ideas, opinions and speculation based on my
own beliefs. I am an agnostic, have no political affiliations and
support a global community. I challenge the status quo in every field
and do not accept anything as a given. I evoke the history of humans, a
stagnant present and speculate on the necessary direction for future
progress. I hope my readers, from over 140 countries, will take these
views as stepping-stones to propel new thoughts and debates. In
analyzing contemporary events, I use the framework laid out from my
previous two books - Decision Options and Flexibility. These books
describe how to innovate and lead in complex organizations and how
conventional tools and methodologies have been rendered ineffective. My
goal is to bring these ideas to a wider audience and foster debate in
which participants analyze each other's viewpoints with indomitable
logic. Engage, challenge, think, influence, act and above all, enjoy.
