He has also dissected headline issues\nover forty times on Saudi Arabia&#8217;s KSA2-TV, Ekhbariya TV, and on Iran&#8217;s global\nEnglish language Press-TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why this\ndiverse range?&nbsp; Bloom calls his area of\nexpertise \u201cmass behavior, from the mass behavior of quarks to the mass behavior\nof human beings.\u201d And his goal is to \u201cmaster as many disciplines as my limited\nbrain can handle.\u201d&nbsp; Why? \u201cMy job,\u201d he\nsays, \u201cis to soar over the silos of the specializations and to use them as\npixels in the biggest picture a 21<sup>st<\/sup> century human can see.\u201d &nbsp;How is he doing at this task?&nbsp; Bloom has published and\/or lectured at\nscholarly conferences in twelve different fields: including quantum physics,\ncosmology, evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience,\nbiopolitics, governance, economics, history, information science, and aerospace.\nHe has lectured at Yale, Stanford, and Columbia University&#8217;s Department of\nNeuroscience.&nbsp; His scientific work has\nappeared in: arxiv.org, the leading pre-print site in advanced theoretical\nphysics and math; <em>PhysicaPlus; Across\nSpecies Comparisons and Psychopathology; New Ideas in Psychology; The Journal\nof Space Philosophy<\/em>; and in the books: <em>Research\nin Biopolitics; The Future Information Society<\/em>; and NASA\u2019s <em>Cosmos and Culture<\/em>.&nbsp; In addition, Bloom lectured an international\nconference of quantum physicists in Moscow\u2014Quantum Informatics 2006\u2014on why\neverything we know about quantum physics is wrong.&nbsp; The concepts Bloom introduced were later used\nin a book proposing a new approach to quantum physics, <em>Constructive Physics<\/em>, by Moscow University\u2019s Yuri Ozhigov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloom aims for\na style that reads like what he calls \u201ca dessert tray for the intellect.\u201d&nbsp; As a result, his writing has appeared in <em>The Washington Post, The Wall Street\nJournal, Wired, Quartz, Knight-Ridder Financial News Service, The Village\nVoice, Cosmopolitan Magazine, a<\/em>nd the blog sites of the <em>Psychology Today<\/em> and <em>The Scientific American<\/em>.&nbsp; In fact, one of Bloom\u2019s <em>Scientific American<\/em> blogs was tweeted by Amazon.com\u2019s Jeff Bezos.\nBloom has also appeared 325 times for up to five hours on 545 radio stations on\nthe highest-rated overnight talk radio show in North America, Premiere Radio\nNetwork\u2019s <em>Coast to Coast AM<\/em>, where he\nhas discussed everything from the biome in the gut and the evolution of the stars\nto the presidential primaries, the impeachment of Donald Trump, and North\nKorea\u2019s nuclear weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloom has founded&nbsp; three\ninternational scientific groups.&nbsp; In\naddition to the Space Development Steering Committee (2007), he pulled together\nthe Group Selection Squad (1995), which gained acceptance for the concept of\ngroup selection in evolutionary biology; and The International Paleopsychology\nProject (1997), which created a new synthesis between cosmology, paleontology,\nevolutionary biology, and&nbsp; history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloom started in science at the age of ten in his hometown of Buffalo,\nNew York, diving into cosmology and microbiology.&nbsp; At the age of twelve, he built his first\nBoolean Algebra machine, co-conceived a game-playing computer that won local\nscience fair prizes, was granted an audience with the head of the State\nUniversity at Buffalo\u2019s graduate physics department to debate the Big Bang\nversus the Steady State theory of the universe.&nbsp;\nStill just twelve years old, Bloom was tutored in outside-the-box\nscientific thinking by the head of research and development for the Moog Valve\nCompany, the firm that made engine valves for the first airplanes to break the\nsound barrier and to reach space\u2014the Bell X-1 and the Bell X-2.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At sixteen Bloom was a lab assistant at the world\u2019s largest cancer\nresearch facility, the Roswell Park Memorial Institute in Buffalo, NY.&nbsp; At Roswell Park in 1959, Bloom generated The\nBloom Toroidal Model of the Universe, otherwise known as the Big Bagel (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wdJyafSBCb0\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wdJyafSBCb0<\/a>), a theory that predicted something that would not be discovered for\nanother 39 years\u2014dark energy.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At thirteen, Bloom zeroed in on what he felt was a towering scientific\npuzzle\u2014the relationship between the ecstatic experience and the mass passions\nthat shape the forces of history.&nbsp; Bloom\nsaw these experiences as \u201cthe gods inside.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;\nSo in 1968 Bloom turned down four fellowships in cognitive neuroscience\nand set off on a scientific expedition into a field he knew nothing about:\npopular culture. He was hunting for the forces of history in &#8220;the belly of\nthe beast where new myths and new mass movements are made.&#8221;&nbsp; And he found them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How did Bloom pull off what he calls his Voyage of the Beagle?&nbsp; At NYU, Bloom had edited and art-directed an\nexperimental graphics and literary magazine that won two Academy of American\nPoets prizes. After he graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, his\nmagazine\u2019s shockwaves allowed him to do something totally unexpected.&nbsp; He co-founded a commercial art studio\u2014Cloud\nStudio.&nbsp; That landed him on the cover of <em>Art Direction Magazine<\/em>.&nbsp; Cloud Studio was, he says, a \u201cperiscope\nposition,\u201d a position from which he could survey a world he did not know\u2014the\nworld of pop culture.&nbsp; Three years later\nBloom said yes to an offer to edit <em>Circus\nMagazine<\/em>, a rock monthly.&nbsp; He knew\nnothing about rock music, but he studied like a madman, reinvented the\nmagazine\u2019s format, increased its circulation 211%, and was credited by <em>Rolling Stone\u2019s<\/em> East Coast editor Chet\nFlippo with creating a \u201cnew magazine genre, the heavy metal magazine.\u201d&nbsp; Then Bloom founded the biggest PR firm in the\nmusic industry\u2014The Howard Bloom Organization, Ltd&#8211;a company he&nbsp; ran from 1976 to 1988.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Says former chairman and CEO of Mercury Records, Danny Goldberg in his\nbook <em>Bumping into Geniuses<\/em>, Bloom\u2019s\n\u201cinterest in rock and roll had more to do with the study of mass psychology in\naction than furthering the aggrandizement of spoiled rock stars. He approached\nPR as an applied science.\u201d In fact, Bloom used his science to invent simple\ncorrelational techniques and no-cost market research tools.&nbsp; He joined the resulting data to what he calls\n&#8220;tuned empathy&#8221; and &#8220;saturated intuition&#8221; to help build or\nsustain the careers of figures like Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Bette\nMidler, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Billy Idol, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, John\nMellencamp, Joan Jett, Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC\/DC, Grandmaster Flash and The\nFurious Five, Kool and the Gang, Chaka Khan, Run DMC, and roughly 100\nothers.&nbsp; He contributed to the success of\nfilms like <em>The Great Gatsby<\/em>, <em>Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Outrageous\nFortune<\/em>, and <em>Purple Rain<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the process, he helped generate $28\nbillion in revenues (more than the gross domestic product of Oman or\nLuxembourg) for companies like Sony, Disney, Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola, and Warner\nBrothers.&nbsp; And he did it by focusing not\non profits but on soul.&nbsp; The result?&nbsp; Sterling Whitaker, author of <em>The Grand Delusion: The Unauthorized True\nStory of Styx<\/em>, calls Bloom, \u201cprobably the greatest press agent that rock\nand roll has ever known.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloom did more than explore the forces of history, he helped make\nthem.&nbsp; He helped launch Farm Aid and he\nhelped elevate Amnesty International&#8217;s North American presence.&nbsp; He worked with the United Negro College Fund,\nthe National Black United Fund, and the NAACP.&nbsp;\nAnd he put together the first public service radio campaign for solar\npower (1981).&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1988, Bloom came down with ME\/CFS, myalgic\nencephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome, an illness that confined him to his\nbed for fifteen years. For five of those years, he was too weak to speak or to\nhave another person in the room with him.&nbsp;\nBut he had two computers hooked up next to his mattress, went on the\nInternet, founded his first two international scientific organizations (The\nGroup Selection Squad and the International&nbsp;\nPaleopsychology Project), wrote three books, and, when his voice returned,\nlectured via video to locations like San Francisco\u2019s Exploratorium and Stanford\nUniversity. He was featured in three specials on Dutch TV, and was named a\nvisiting scholar in the Graduate Psychology Department at NYU.&nbsp; Even though he could only visit via the\nInternet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloom recovered in 2003, and was made a core faculty member at the\nGraduate Institute in Meriden, Connecticut.&nbsp;\nHe\u2019s been flown to Moscow, Amsterdam, Paris, Vienna, Seoul, Kuala\nLumpur, Kobe, Japan, and Chengdu, China, to lecture.&nbsp; He\u2019s lectured at American locations from Nellis\nAir&nbsp; Force Base and the\nEisenhower Center for Space and Defense Studies to Yale University.&nbsp; And he\u2019s\nbeen on both the board and the board of governors of the National Space\nSociety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But\nBloom\u2019s chef d\u2019oeuvre is a project of the kind that\u2019s usually the sole province\nof lunatics, the 9,200 chapters of what he unabashedly calls \u201cThe Grand Unified\nTheory of Everything In the Universe Including the Human Soul.\u201d Pavel Kurakin\nof the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of\nScience in Moscow says of The Grand Unified Theory of Everything In the\nUniverse Including the Human Soul that, \u201cBloom has created a new Scientific\nParadigm.&nbsp; He explains in vast and\ncompelling terms why we should forget all we know in complicated modern math\nand should start from the very beginning. \u2026Bloom\u2019s Grand Unified Theory\u2026 opens\na window into entire systems we don&#8217;t yet know and\/or see, new\u2026collectivities\nthat live, love, battle, win and lose each day of our gray lives.&nbsp;&nbsp; I never imagined that a new system of\nthought could produce so much light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concludes\nJoseph Chilton Pearce, author of <em>Evolution&#8217;s\nEnd<\/em> and <em>The Crack in the Cosmic Egg<\/em>,\n&#8220;I have finished Howard Bloom&#8217;s books, <em>The\nLucifer Principle<\/em> and <em>Global Brain<\/em>,\nin that order, and am seriously awed, near overwhelmed by the magnitude of what\nhe has done. I never expected to see, in any form, from any sector, such an\naccomplishment.&nbsp; I doubt there is a\nstronger intellect than Bloom&#8217;s on the planet.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloom bio, the short version: Howard Bloom has been called \u201cnext in a lineage of seminal thinkers that includes Newton, &hellip;<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/howardbloom.net\/?page_id=18172\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-18172","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bloom bio, the short version: Howard Bloom has been called \u201cnext in a lineage of seminal thinkers that includes Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Freud, and Buckminster Fuller\u201d by Britain&#039;s Channel4 TV and \u201cthe next Stephen Hawking\u201d by Gear Magazine.
