• How would you prioritize the reintroduction of the American Bison?

Reintroducing Bison is very important for a few reasons.  It plays a part culturally for the Native Americans and is a link for them in their homeland.  In a way, reintroducing the Bison symbolizes an acceptance of Native American culture by wester society and helps to undo some of the horror that was done to them by mindlessly slaughtering their food source and link to the land.  

Western society can hopefully learn from them the importance of Bison as a sustainable food source and will hopefully begin to replace cattle farming.  Cattle farming is doing much harm to the land with overgrazing and methane production.  

• Post your thoughts on "The Truth About Multitasking"

This article was very telling about the unfortunate state of our culture.  Where would we be without multitasking?  Probably much more efficient and less stressed out.  I think the article should be placed on the desk of every CEO.  It would be a benefit to our culture if 'multitasking' was replaced on a job resume by 'the ability to do one task effectively and efficiently'.  It makes sense that our neural channels cannot send multiple signals at the same time.  It seems like trying to get them to do that will eventually make the channels less efficient at sending information.
