Pasadena, CA: The dot.com implosion of 2000-2001 is now opened an explosion of solid growth using the Internet as a backbone. Algorithms are changing the way we understand the world and each other. Thre is an emerging mathematics of interiority that is on the edge of innovation. Coupled with the power of computers, we are opening a new chapter in our human history. We are are beginning to understand even more profoundly how people and things work. The algorithm is so important, we have a special discussion about its history and use below.

Just think of the complexity that Dr. Neil Clark Warren and his team tackled. Take as a given that you can discern 29 dimensions of a person by asking 436 carefully-defined questions to weight aspects of those dimensions. That is 436 answers within a range, 1 to 5 or 1 to 10. So you now have anywhere from 2180 to 4360 answers to match up to people within a geographically defined area. If you have just 100 people, what's significant? When do you have a possible match?

The possibilities are mind-jamming! And if your mind does jam when you think about it, then you are beginning to feel the power of an algorithm. Mathematic formulas gravitate to such tasks!

Now, when you see Dr. Neil Clark Warren in this episode of the show, he may seem familiar to you. He has already been on television a lot. In 2003 alone this small business spent well over 20 million dollars advertising a product he fervently believes can make the world a kinder and gentler place. Dr. Neil Clark Warren has appeared in many of those ads to coach us all to find our soulmate. Find "the love of your life. Don't settle for less."

Forty-three percent of all Americans over 18 years old are single. That's their market. He believes by helping singles before they get married, this team might actually reverse the divorce rate in the USA.

There is nothing pretty about divorce. Broken dreams and broken hearts. We all have firsthand experiences with it. Our society is riddled with guilt and pain and our trust muscles have been bruised and torn. We've become a nation of skeptics. While it seems so many people in this end of the business are driven to make a fast-and-easy buck, the people of within this story are profoundly different.

If the divorce rate in this country reverses and that reversal can in any way be attributed to Dr. Neil Clark Warren and his team's work, this business will be seen as pure genius. And, for all the battles and wars that will not have been fought, possibly he should also be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize.
