I had no idea Jack Welch, former CEO of GE, was such an interesting thinker. I just saw him on C-SPAN, speaking at the University of Miami. Here’s the link!
Check out these clips:

My name is James Marcus Bach. I call myself a buccaneer-scholar. That means I think and learn on my own terms. I am not the product of an educational institution, even though lots of other people (maybe you) help me learn. My hunting ground is the entire sea of human ideas. Although I'm not precisely an atheist or agnostic (I would describe myself as an apatheist, a pyrrhonian skeptic, or simply a philosopher), I have affection for atheism, hence the scarlet "A".
