I’ve always said that entrepreneurs are people who have a knack at selecting and organizing patterns from an infinite set of chaotic possibilities. The greater the created patterns, the greater the skill of the entrepreneur. Related to this theory is some interesting research from the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research program. The lab’s research indirectly supports the possibility that human intent has a “small, but statistically significant” effect on reality.

I found PEAR after watching the movie What the Bleep do We Know!?. I think that they are performing interesting science, although it’s admittedly difficult to tell based on their website. I was happy to see a Wired magazine article discussing their research and hope that such press coverage will provide more funding both to PEAR and other research groups around the country to help them better understand humanity’s intuitive understanding that has lead to the phrase Mind Over Matter.
