Welcome to Josh Klein Live,

Josh Klein is a World renowned technologist, author, ethical hacker and speaker, famous for his project designed to train crows to fetch lost change, known as The Intelligence of Crows he uses this same method to write books.
Josh inspires and entertains audiences conference and after dinner audiences across the Globe. His presentations often have a connection with hacking in which he re-appropriates the term from its common use (meaning executing malicious computer attacks) to instead emphasize the unorthodox reworking of existing systems (systems thinking) as a mutual benefit.

Josh Klein on systems thinking

Josh’s speeches cover all aspects of systems thinking and talks about various projects he has completed explain different. It was in 2008 that Josh Klein displayed his thesis project at New York University. This thesis posited that synanthropic species (those that have adapted to living near or in human habitats) could be trained to contribute something useful through interaction with new systems as opposed to acting as parasites in a human environment. The demonstration of this was a device which dispensed peanuts and coins in a series of steps designed to teach the crows to drop coins into a slot in exchange for a peanut. Josh Klein later spoke about this project at the TEDx conference and referenced the concept of synanthropy in his Make Magazine article on training your cat to use the toilet.
