Your Houseplants Can Think with Zoë Schlanger - 265
Our understanding of intelligence is always growing, but recent research has thrown a fascinating curveball: we're discovering that plants are intelligent too. Though they might not look like creatures we typically describe as intelligent, plants can store information, solve problems, and develop complex social networks. This week, Adam sits with Zoë Shlanger, author of The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth, to explore this galaxy-brain concept of plant intelligence and what it means for how we see all life and our place in the world.

The Human Cost of Banning Abortion with Shefali Luthra - 264
Переглядів 18 тис.День тому
Abortion is not just a political story; it's a personal one. In the two years since Roe was struck down by the Supreme Court in the Dobbs decision, a host of challenges has arisen for women, trans, and non-binary people seeking basic control over their own bodies. This week, Adam speaks with Shefali Luthra, author of Undue Burden: Life and Death Decisions in Post-Roe America, about the harrowin...

Why Billionaires Should Be Banned with Ingrid Robeyns - 262
Переглядів 56 тис.21 день тому
We're happy to have conversations about eliminating poverty, but why are we so reluctant to talk about eradicating extreme wealth? Poverty is commonly regarded as an indication of a struggling society, and a tiny number of people controlling a disproportionately large amount of wealth should be seen similarly.

    It is reproductive healthcare. The right to access abortion is PART of it, but that is not the entire issue. Labeling it an abortion/right to life issue is a false dichotomy and republikkan marketing language. It is a control issue. The current slate of Christo-faschists will only allow a woman a 'right to life' as long as that life is how they tell women how to live.

    I will give biden the pro union win. For all he's failed at I'll at leaat give him this. Yes a low bar, but he didn't just kick it up a bit. He raised up a bar that had been buried in a bog by Reagan. Not to the height it was at before Reagan, nowhere near Europe's bar, but still it was a solid raising of a low bar. Now anyone doing less can be compared to that bar, and anyone who would want to do more will have to raise it a lot. Biden can have that title. He's the most pro union president in over half a century.

    You clearly understand more than most people about A.I.. But you are using half truths and only things that show your point of view, you are basically lying. All the technology we use today was at one point just SF... Would I trust a big company with what they advertise and promise? No, never. But to say A.I. is still gone be this dumb in the future is just as dumb.

Exactly..what man wants is falseness and google only represents "what the people want" to deserve partial blame . People continue using Google to give the Giant Tool all their power to continue...being. So what is wrong with the masses who keep them going? Oh...so can you do a stand-up on this new revelation here? Make it extra funny please.

    There is two types of racism 1. Racism 2. Racism of lowered expectations. The idea pushed by white liberals that blacks can’t meet educational standards, and thus must be judged at a lower standard is damaging. I remember the story in NY of refugees from Bangladesh coming to NY dirt poor. Turns out after a couple of years in the NYC public school system, these refugee students gained admission into gifted schools at a much higher rate than black students born in NYC. How could this be?

    Y'all really have to get off the idea that unions are helpful. They're a tool and its use is governed by the very people they're supposed to combat. It'll never work. Unions have become a great tool for governments to ensure they stay in power and won't have keep too many of those prsky campaign promises...

    My parents wanted to see cirque du soleil. Because of the convinience fees, they went to the actual venue to pick up the tickets.

Until they made a Google account with my non-Google email with UA-cam. Don't recall agreeing to that. Just there one day.

    Investors are still in denial about the fundamentals of the economy. They expect rares will soon be cut and believe the topline GDP numbers signal a strong economy. However, they dont. Credit card balences are maxed out, more credit is hard to come by for consumers, a ton of companies are about to beforced into refinancing their debs at far higher interest and the regional bank backstop program is out this month. There's also the fact that inflation ticks higher than expected every single time the markets believe a rate cut is around the corner and a rate cut would cause a surge in inflation. The fed sees this stuff, guys. The only wild card for us investors is to actively engage the market by trading, we always over complicate things when we speculate. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months...
