Overview

In 1965, two Eagle Scouts, were selected for the 1966 North Pole expedition. I was one of them. We were promised a Lewis and Clark ‘Journey of Discovery’ across the Northwest Passage. A Journey of Discovery it was. But NOT the promised one of progress and wonder. It was a journey into a world of lies and incompetence; but also of the discovery of answers to many of the worlds great questions.

About the Author

In 1964, two Eagle Scouts were selected by national competition to accompany U.S. Navy explorers on an expedition to the North Pole. Bruce was one of them. He graduated from MIT in 1969 after 4 years with both BS and MS degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics – yes, a true MIT rocket scientist. His 40 year career included: 7 years in government labs - 4 years weapon systems, 3 years fusion power systems; 14 years as a small business engineering executive developing robots, computer systems, and medical instruments; 8 years in the hospital environment developing advanced medical systems; 6 years consulting for small businesses; and 5 years as director of the medical education simulation center at U. Florida, College of Medicine in Jacksonville. While there he co-founded the first all medical middle-high school in the U.S.
Like the Journey of Discovery that Darwin made on the Beagle and Einstein made into the cosmos, his 40 year very diverse career at the “bleeding edge” of technology led to many major discoveries. But, unlike the joys of exploring flora, fauna and the mysteries of the cosmos, his journey took him through a quagmire of lies, corruption and incompetence. He looked for wisdom; but found mostly superstition. He kept asking himself, “how could society even function with so much misinformation?” He came to realize that the real frontier for society’s passage into a just and beautiful world wasn’t in some far off frozen place. It was here, surrounding us - like a fog - holding our society hostage. Searching to understand this fog took him to the fundamentals of knowledge. And like Darwin and Einstein, he uncovered some very profound insights which could allow society to finally answer some of the greatest unanswered questions of the ages.

Bruce lives in Massachusetts and continues to focus on his life long pursuit to understand the meaning of life. Others can join that effort by participating in the work of the A3 Society (A3society.org) and the A3 Research Institute (A3RI.org). You can contact him directly through those organizations.
