即使在最糟糕的情况下，即使是一无所有之人，依然可以争取尊严。这是今年普里兹克奖得主带给我们的启迪。 每年，被称为「建筑界诺奖」的普利兹克奖，都会授予一位对人类以及人造环境做出贡献的在世建筑师。今年的普利兹克奖第一次颁给了一位非洲人，这不只是政治正确。 1965 年，迪埃贝・弗朗西斯・凯雷（Diébédo Francis Kéré）出生在西非国家布基纳法索的一个小乡村。那里没有清洁水，没有电，没有学校。作为村长的儿子，他是第一个走出村庄上学的人。20 岁时，他凭借职业木匠奖学金前往柏林学习——这成为了他命运的转折点。2001 年，结束技工学习的凯雷在柏林工业大学学习建筑时，回到家乡甘多做出了他的第一个作品，甘多小学 (https://www.archdaily.cn/cn/978471/gan-duo-xiao-xue-kere-architecture)。 在匮乏之地，这座朴素而带有设计感的建筑，是凯雷和当地村民一起构思、设计和劳动的结果。正如普里兹克评审词中所言，「为社区而建，与社区共存。建筑与其立足的一方土地密不可分，亦与置身其中的使用者息息相关。」 二十多年过去了，凯雷的作品早已溢出非洲大陆，他的临时或永久性建筑分布在英美德意等更为发达的区域。他持之以恒的风格和理念，也为建筑文化界当下关注的「可持续」、「现代性」等方向带来了新的思考。 建筑师、独立策展人唐克扬是本期节目的嘉宾。在他的印象中，凯雷是个谦逊而略带羞涩的人，也是一位有天赋的建筑师。不过，我们的对话没有停留在凯雷作品本身。更重要的是，在更大范围内探究建筑如何影响社区、可持续未来、寻根等命题；中国和中国建筑师王澍对凯雷的影响；以及凯雷在广阔乡村的实践，能否为中国当下的乡村振兴提供一些思路。 一栋打动人的建筑背后有很多，但始终埋藏着人们对「更好生活」的期盼。正如凯雷所言，「不能因为贫穷，就固步自封不去尝试追求品质，每个人都理应享受品质，每个人都理应享受舒适，每个人都理应享受奢华。」 本期人物 张晶，「声东击西」发起人、前媒体人 唐克扬 (http://thfl.tsinghua.edu.cn/yjdw/yjtd/tky/index.htm)，清华大学未来实验室首席研究员、设计学博士、独立策展人 主要话题 [01:41] 作为文化消费的建筑设计 [08:26] 凯雷模糊了建筑师和建筑活动家的角色 [11:51] 普利兹克奖回归初心 [16:19] 对自己的生活有所想象，才会有真正的好建筑 [21:12] 西方建筑体系之外的甘多小学 [28:50] 返璞归真和乡野生活是两回事 [32:28] 大部分人追求的「可持续」实际上是自己的良好感受 [41:56] 恢复与乡村的联系，应该坦诚面对乡村的各种现象 延伸阅读 - 2022 年普利兹克建筑奖获得者 b. 迪埃贝多·弗朗西斯·凯雷 介绍页面 (https://www.pritzkerprize.com/cn/%E5%B1%8A%E8%8E%B7%E5%A5%96%E8%80%85/diaibeiduofulangxisikailei) - 唐克扬采访凯雷的文章：《在匮乏之地，造朴素而不失尊严的建筑 (http://ny.zdline.cn/h5/article/detail.do?artId=153923)》， 发表于《三联生活周刊》2022 年第 13 期 - 凯雷的TED演讲：How to build with clay ... and community (https://www.ted.com/talks/diebedo_francis_kere_how_to_build_with_clay_and_community) - 甘多小学 / Kéré Architecture (https://www.archdaily.cn/cn/978471/gan-duo-xiao-xue-kere-architecture) - 唐克扬译作：癫狂的纽约 (https://book.douban.com/subject/26334503/) - 石上纯也的桌子：一场空间游戏 (http://enjoy.caixin.com/2014-11-06/100747852.html) - 对凯雷产生影响的中国建筑师：王澍 (https://www.archdaily.cn/cn/801319/jiao-dian-wang-shu) 相关节目 #174 当扩张不再是城市的唯一出路 (https://etw.fm/174) #171 从越后妻有到浮梁，Tango 眼中的大地艺术节 (https://etw.fm/171) #155 网红建筑？公共空间？当杭州有了一座城市客厅 (https://etw.fm/155) 使用音乐 - Book Bag-E's Jammy Jams 幕后制作 运营：Yao 设计：饭团 监制：Amanda 后期：可特 实习编辑：游皓文 关于节目 Bigger Than Us，渴望多元视角，用发问来探索世界。 关于我们 声动活泼的宗旨是「用声音碰撞世界」，致力于为人们提供源源不断的思考养料。 我们还有这些播客：声东击西 (https://etw.fm/episodes)、What's Next｜科技早知道 (https://guiguzaozhidao.fireside.fm/episodes)、反潮流俱乐部 (https://fanchaoliuclub.fireside.fm/)、泡腾 VC (https://popvc.fireside.fm/)、商业WHY酱 (https://msbussinesswhy.fireside.fm/) 欢迎在即刻 (https://okjk.co/Qd43ia)、微博等社交媒体上与我们互动，搜索 声动活泼 即可找到我们 期待你给我们写邮件，邮箱地址是：ting@sheng.fm 如果你喜欢我们的节目，欢迎 打赏 (https://etw.fm/donation) 支持或把我们的节目推荐给一两位朋友 欢迎加入声动胡同小社区！ 也许你知道「声动活泼」办公室在北京二环内的胡同里，事实上我们也有一个线上的「声动胡同小社区」。成为社区会员，你可以收到一周不少于三次的来自「声动小邮筒」的邮件，同时还可以参加我们各种各样的线上和线下活动，或者是一些有趣的游戏。 点击这里 (https://shengpodcasts.notion.site/a977c74222484894a9fe6245bc0f4dba)即可了解社区氛围。我们期待你加入这个虚拟胡同社区来支持我们，并和我们一起亲近交流，和有趣的人进行「碰撞」，收获新知、友谊并看见更大的世界。 国内用户（年付）：加入声动胡同小社区 (https://sourl.cn/G4B2Wt) 海外用户（月付）：加入声动胡同小社区 (https://sdhp.memberful.com/join) 期待你的加入！ Special Guest: 唐克扬.

Florida's bill has been nicknamed the 'don't say gay' bill.  Here's more information on the bill: https://www.hrc.org/news/florida-senate-passes-dont-say-gay-or-trans-bill-legislation-heads-to-desantis-desk-for-signature-or-veto https://m.flsenate.gov/session/bill/2022/1557/billtext/er/pdf How many times can we say 'gay' in this podcast episode? Teaching kids in grades K-3 language to describe LGBT language will not change straight kids gay; just like teaching kids heteronormative language will make gay kids straight. People have a right to be who they are.  And they have the right to be introduced to language that will help them describe how they feel.

We talk with Arto Bendiken about the political reactions to the ongoing pandemic and their long term effects on: Economy, free speech, mass gatherings, biodefense, cash, infection control, and identity. The is also a higher quality version of the MP3. Subscribe Pocket Casts Spotify Stitcher Apple Podcasts Overcast Google Podcasts PlayerFM YouTube Show Notes Introduction 00:01:05 Two show participients verified they are either asymptomatic, or not infected. 00:02:55 Increase of pandemics in the future. SOURCE: Three seconds until midnight. Zoonotic transmissions. Avian flu pandemic (30% death rate). Increased air travel, population density. 00:06:14 MERS, SARS, swine flu, Ebola in the last 15-20 years. (It’s not the “once in a 100 years” frequency, or “three pandemics a century”) Wolfe, Nathan (2011): The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age Various books from Laurie Garrett 00:07:32 Death Rates will increase because of age of poulation. immune system gets faster with age, but overreaction is also more likely (cytokine storm) exporsure rates are higher (travel) Political Reactions 00:09:14 Don’t test, don’t tell “The disaster that befell the citizens of Wuhan and so many other cities throughout China is not primarily a virus. The disaster is having a political regime that cares more about short-term public and economic concerns than it cares about saving the lives of its citizens.” smuggler: matches most reactions in the West. Frank: in politics, it means that any candidate cannot win against the pandemic, and their opponents can always say afterwards “we could have done better”. So, the US solution for Trump might be to let it burn as quick as possible through the population, and be over and done with it before the elections. Maximizing Re-Election is key. smuggler: “Politicians don’t get elected by being really smart people when it comes to dealing with complex problems.” More important: Ability to backstab, put on good face, and select experts. “All of our systems, especially in the West, are not meant to deal with crisis, they are meant to deal with normalcy.” Arto: Some Asian countries have dealt with it pretty well. 00:14:55 Finance minister of Hesse, Germany committed suicide, probably because of COVID19-crisis: (Thomas Schäfer) NY Post: German state financial minister kills himself over coronavirus ‘despair’ Fear And Economics 00:15:25 Fear & Economic bailouts smuggler: “Every response is better than no response, even if it’s just about dealing with your fear […] what you can see is, that the first responses that are taken are the ones easiest to implement for a state.” Distributing free money! German states are handing out €9-15k for small businesses, with a total volume of €50 Billion. BMWI: Soforthilfe für Solo-Selbstständige und Kleinstbetriebe; IBB: Liquiditätsengpässe wegen Coronavirus- Unterstützung für Berliner Unternehmen This takes fear out of the system. A lot of people are still primarilary concerned about the economic effects. Frank: economic effects are already secondary effects. smuggler: pressing the red panic button, to buy time (lockdown). 00:18:21 Recap this week’s events (Mar 23-29) 00:19:55 Orthogonal narratives: “Masks don’t work” smuggler: You cannot tell people to wear masks, if your own hospital staff has not enough masks… Balaji S. Srinivasan’s Twitter Thread: Collection of weekly narratives 00:22:20 Similarities to history (1918 pandemic): - don’t panic, nothing to fear but fear itself, everything is under control, we are taking care of it, you don’t need to do anything, everything will be fine - erodes trust in authorities with progression of pandemic - lying breeds the fear - why repeating? Politicians cannot deal with crisis - polulation with crisis experience tend to respond better 00:26:28 “The Great Influenza”, Twitter Thread - “In 1918 fear moved ahead of the virus like the bow wave before a ship. Fear drove the people, and the government and the press could not control it. They could not control it because every true report had been diluted with lies. And the more the officials and newspapers reassured, the more they said, There is no cause for alarm if proper precautions are taken, or Influenza is nothing more or less than old-fashioned grippe, the more people believed themselves cast adrift, adrift with no one to trust, adrift on an ocean of death.” p.340 - smuggler: a lot of people mistrust the media in general. General assumption: “Whatever is said publicly, is false.” Search for alternative truths. - Slate Star Codex: Face Masks: Much More Than You Wanted To Know 00:29:23 False treatments. smuggler: “There’s this general inability to even think about remedies, and how things actually work, people buy stuff because it comes from alternative sources, not because it is actually well researched.” that’s why medical research is based on quantification 00:30:17 Conspiracy theories. Frank: “Turning the story they hear into either totally denying it, or making it worse, in this super highly coordinated conspiracy.” Frank: “It’s a bioweapon but it doesn’t kill anyone because the numbers are false” 00:31:28 Arto: “In the future, it will be clear that masks are a good idea.” “Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!” Feb 29, 2020, @Surgeon_General 00:33:16 Today’s numbers (Mar 29th): 10,000 Spain; 6,000+ Italy - NYPD: 600 infected, 3000 missing from work (10% work force) Inflation 00:34:25 Inflation (free money handed out) smuggler’s prediction: “For Germany, up to 30% of the domestic product (GDP) this year will be destroyed.” 00:35:24 Bill Gates’ TED Talk: US$ 3-4 trillon. Might be significantly underestimated. Bill Gates TED Talk 2015 Bill Gates TED Connects talk 2020 USA is talking about US$ 3 trillon bailout. “A trillion here, a trillion there, soon you’re talking real money." 00:37:30 Move into other asset classes. Specifically gold. Selling property. AirBnB: refinancing one apartment after the other, is not working anymore. overall a bad year for over-leveraging :( Chinese real estate: buy two apartments, get one free. (Well, almost.) Berlin: prices went down, apartments are cheap. Ukraine: luxuries houses are considered by population like the bank account. Renationalization Of Industries And Trade 00:41:44 Capitalization of companies. Most have been overleveraged. Ability to produce is going down. Bail-out money from state in exchange of stock. CEOs not being able to draw bonuses in the future. Re-nationalization of companies? State will become a big shareholder, and board member. 00:45:15 Supply chain fragility. Management ideas since the 80s (stock on the road, just in time). Increasing strategic stockpile: Government has taken over complete trade in medical goods & pharmaceuticals (Germany). Future: Stock is held more closely to production? Competition: who keeps the workers? Shutdown on parcels. 00:48:00 smuggler: “Global trade is re-spun into something that is tightly controlled by the states.” “The economic topology now becomes the political topology.” 00:48:32 Centralization of production. Restriction of worker’s movement: implication to food production. Harvest hands are missing. Frank: Impossible to replace them with domestic workers. smuggler: Unskilled seasonal workers need to have experience to be productive. And Fitness. Bloomberg report on food production Free Speech 00:51:36 Arto: “Free Speech was already on its last legs, anyway.” Hate Speech. Platform level enforcement (Facebook, etc). 00:53:00 smuggler: “Policing on the net has taken a boost with coronavirus.” “This idea that the state has to control the information flow is becoming much more dominant, even in countries that allegedly had some free speech tradition.” Combination of algorythmic and human filtering. Targeted to anything related to pandemic, and political speech (keyword analysis, topic analysis). Human side of filtering is currently off-work, so currently there’s a lot of automated, imprecise flagging and deleting. Also happening on cloud-servers (Google Documents, GMail). Trying to rebuilt the Great Firewall of China (防火长城 fanghuo changcheng). 00:56:27 Twitter was essential in understanding what was happening in China. Leaked Videos, Photos, etc. Many sources are removed already! New Twitter “safety guidelines”: - Now, we will require people to remove Tweets that include the following: - Content that increases the chance that someone contracts or transmits the virus, including: - Denial of expert guidance - Encouragement to use fake or ineffective treatments, preventions, and diagnostic techniques - Misleading content purporting to be from experts or authorities 00:57:53 Frank: “They’re putting out false information themselves (like … with the masks), and it’s also the case that we don’t know the truth. I mean, that’s the whole problem of a developing pandemic, that a lot of the truth about the virus, and the disease, is actually not known at this point, not even by experts, they’re all trying to figure it out.” - Twitter is becoming an Epistemic Arbitrage. - No possibility to openly discuss. - Undermining process to come up with the least wrong data in the future. - Situation is highly dynamic. 00:59:41 Twitter was used for collaboration between scientists, publishing pre-prints, distributed peer-review (quickly debunking, too). - Preprint: Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag - Debunked: Trevor Bedford’s Twitter Thread Political Symbolism 01:00:50 Traffic shaping as political symbolism. smuggler: “Information control becomes a political symbol.” EU calls to reduce video quality on Netflix, etc. Politican making demands based on not understanding how these services work. Companies can gain reputation by responding quickly to these political demands. Identity Verification For Platforms 01:02:45 Keyword and topic analysis to prevent “false information”. USA: EARN IT Act (freedom of liability). EFF: The EARN IT Bill Is the Government’s Plan to Scan Every Message Online Started against child pornography, now widened to prevent spread of false information concerning the virus. smuggler: “If you make it mandatory for everything to be dynamically scanned, what you of course have to give up, is End-to-End Encryption.” Proposed by US Senate, but hasn’t been passed (yet). 01:04:44 United States Dept. of Justice: Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act: network of jurisdictions. US + Eu + whoever else signs Push on clearname (legal name, “real” name) push on all platforms 01:05:30 NetzDG (Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz = Network Enforcement Act, also known as the Facebook Act): against hatespeech, used for actual police raids. Action day every two months, where police arrests people who conducted hate speech on social media. Prevention Of Political Turmoil, Coups, Etc. 01:06:06 smuggler: “a crisis like that is a crisis of all systems.” “There are quite a a few people who are afraid that the situation will be exploited to force changes in the political system by non-legal means, we’re talking coup d'êtats, revolutions, etc.” Current examples: at least two states Revolutions don’t bring better people into power. Political stablization by surveillance. 01:08:15 China’s political situation Precarious for presidency (习近平 Xi Jinping, since 2013) Perceived mismanagement at beginning of crisis. Competence is prerequiste of staying in power. 01:09:15 Frank: “To me it seems like again, we have this conflict between free market and basically a centralized economy.” Cutting streaming: people need the bandwidth to do work. Identity verification and certificates. Arto: “Credentials serve as a proxy for you being an expert.” Every conspiracy theory comes with a doctor (or other degree). Disappointments In Libertarian Ideals And Voluntaryist Communities 01:11:00 smuggler: “The vast majority of people, seen individually, are unable to deal with the unknown and with actual crisis events. And it doesn’t make it better or less good to introduce the state, or control the markets, or whatever […] in a way, if the majority of your population is idiots, it almost seems that having somebody with a slightly higher IQ telling them what to do, being the right approach. I’m not saying it’s ethically correct…” Markets are not rational. “What we’re really seeing is that there’s a problem that in crisis, mass atomic individualism breaks down to the collective of idiots. […] It’s something people have always told me, but I’ve never believed that.” “When it comes to the vast majority, I’m seriously disappointed.” “A lot of people I would consider freedom-lovers […] are now demonstrating that all they were about was they want to be contrarians.” Atomic Individualism approach showed that it’s failing, like the nation-state. Most important right now to work on voluntary, resilient groups. 01:15:50 Arto quoting: “There’s a silver lining to this crisis: now you know which of your friends are idiots.” Spanish: ser (used to talk about permanent or lasting attributes) vs. estar (used to indicate temporary states and locations), both meaning “to be”. Meme: “Radical anarchists are urging people to obey the state” H.L. Mencken: “Democracy is the worship of jackals by jackasses.” 01:17:45 Frank: “I was hoping that every libertarian understands that, and stays the fuck at home […] voluntarily. I don’t understand why people didn’t do it, especially the libertarians, […] if the state mandates a lockdown, they throw a corona party at home to protest.” Personality differences. 01:19:50 Frank’s Addict Theory. Most people act like addicts. Their drug, comfort, is threatened through crisis. Reaction of addicts: total denial (“There is no problem”), or justifications to keep up repeating old behavior (nobody wants to change behavoir) Also addict like: Ego-centricity (Doesn’t matter if granny dies!) 01:21:33 Responsible individual action fails. Bigger complexity. smuggler: “Externalizing the whole crisis management, and crisis preperation to the state, has been a real disaster. But the alternative - which is, atomic libertarians - they’re failing as well.” Arto quoting: “I wonder how libertarians are dealing with the fact that the current crisis is annihilating their entire ideology” How to make peace between individual liberty and being forced to take collective action against certain external threat? The right response for problems like these: many people coordinating their activity towards the problem, and is has to happen fast, but doesn’t have to happen perfect. Problem: Large parts of the population not cooperating (if 20% do not cooperate, it doesn’t matter what the leftover 80% do, especially in pandemic scenario). The 80% is not the issue, the 20% is. Level of Enforcement? 01:26:45 Failed to build communities that are able to respond (only Twitter crowd, and a few conferences). - Arto: “The atomized individual is nothing but plankton for Leviathan”, paraphrase of Jack Donovan (“In a sea of billions, a man alone is plankton”, Chapter: Belonging is Becoming, in: Becoming a Barbarian, 2016) 01:28:00 Arto: Doesn’t consider himself libertarian anymore. - Arto’s Talk at HCPP 2018: Post-Libertarian Realpolitik, Slides 01:28:18 smuggler: Implementation is failing. - “When it comes to the group, we’re failing.” - “We’re all holed up individually.” Communities And Pandemics 01:30:04 Frank: Communities that live together in one place (TAZ, no one is living there as of now). 01:30:40 Arto: Villages in Carpathians. - Remote and defenseable. - “Often solutions are so old-fashioned and boring, that they even escape notice in our focus on the cypherpunk future.” 01:31:48 smuggler: Community in the rocky mountains. - Dailymail: ‘You’re not welcome!': Worried residents tell rich ‘virus refugees’ flocking to the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard and Aspen to stay away to stop the spread of coronavirus in their communities - How do resilient structures look like, and where they should be positioned? - Build resilient structure long before the crisis hits. 01:32:48 Arto: “Even though we started preparing early, there wasn’t enough time to do a good job of it.” 01:33:11 Frank: Cannot compare these communities. - Community would relatively early cut off outside contact. - Units that are interfacing with outside world, but that are mostly seperated. That’s what you need for pandemics. 01:34:15 Arto: Housing together with weaker and more risky people. - Arto is living currently with 11 people in the house. - Not everyone has the same level of risk awareness. - Frank: “The chain is only as strong as the weakest link.” 01:35:18 “The Great Influenza”: Historic examples of communities where communities isolated themselves early. - Australia is shining example, only succumbed in 3rd wave: “Australia had escaped. It had escaped because of a stringent quarantine of incoming ships. Some ships arrived there with attack rates as high as 43 percent and fatality rates among all passengers as high as 7 percent. But the quarantine kept the virus out, kept the continent safe, until late December 1918 when, with influenza having receded around the world, a troopship carrying ninety ill soldiers arrived.” (p.375) 01:37:39 Threats with spreading behavior. - Foxes and Henhouse. - Rippling effects. - Proctecting everybody requires cohersive regime, so some deaths must be taken as toll. - Isolation can only be short-term remedy, later: controlled exposure, requires discipline of community. - Atomic anarchist thought. 01:38:33 Cohersive state = single point of failure. - Arto: Epidemiologists make same mistake as central planners, they assume what they propose can be done. Projections based on these assumptions. - Failures: Political will (half-assed implementation), population is not complying, information asymmetry. - Some states seem to handle it well, but story is not over yet (Resurgence): Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China. - “People think of Wuhan as the worst case, actually, it’s be the best case.” - Hubei province, less than 1% of population was infected. Western numbers will be way higher. - Lockdown happened with about 500 cases, US is still not locked down. Positive Things 01:42:05 Positive things! - Open-Source Ventilators, bottom-up. - Arto: Most deaths will be in third-world countries, these things might make a big difference there. - Future: no idea what that will look like, just no cohersive state. - smuggler: Not re-create central command, lack of information isn’t removed by distribution. - Quick responses, quick recovers. - smuggler: “When it comes to the ventilators, for example, a year ago that was more or less illegal behavior […] and now, we’re basically relying on that. Same is true for mass production, same is true for people volunteering for illegal drug trials, and stuff like that.” - Future where positive actions can be amplified, and negative actions can be pertailed. - Frank: “How can we self-organize into communities where we bubble up truth quicker? […] Sometimes you have to kick the noise out. […] It’s also not true that there’s no problem with false information and noise, there is a problem with that. […] I just believe that censorship is not a solution to the problem.” - smuggler: knowing reputation, knowledge is also pretty localized to specific topic. “Social media is not a replacement for human relationship.” 01:48:10 smuggler: “You learn by having a relationship with the person. When I listen to you, Frank, or you, Arto, I kinda know how you think, where your weaknesses in thinking and where your strengths in thinking are, so when I listen to you I can make my own conclusions from what you say, […] so your information is really valueable.” - The vast majority of senders are people where you don’t have this background information. - Arto: There’s no shortcut to get that information. - Transitive trust. - In current situation, these things become more visible. Ventilators And Taking Action 01:49:30 smuggler: “We really have to embrace those problems […] in the past, there have been a lot of ‘Oh, it’s not really a problem’, you know we can put it away and the market will solve it. What is really important to learn from this whole sitution, I think, is that, we know that the problems exist and it’s up to us to create solutions, because if we don’t create solutions, the solutions that will come are shit. I’m not talking about the three of us, I’m talking about the community of people who actually want to have more liberty. We have to embrace the problems and we have to solve them, and we cannot just externalize them to another mythical entity, you know, not the state in this case, but the market in which apparently no one is participating from our communities.” 01:50:29 Arto: Lviv is particularly bad with medical supplies. - Lviv infectious diseases hospital (Львівська інфекційна лікарня) had a total of 4 ventilators. - Grassroots effort to tackle COVID19: (Lviv IT Cluster)[https://itcluster.lviv.ua/en/lvivskyj-klaster-zapuskaye-masove-testuvannya-naselennya-na-covid19/], about 100 members, they import test kits and will provide mobile testing stations, they purchase PPE and ventilators as donations for hospitals. 01:53:18 smuggler: “The market works great, if the value system and the direction of solution is clear. And then, it’s amazing, then people say: I can copy this, I can copy this…” - If values / solutions are unclear, people will rather create more problems, than solve problems. 01:54:15 Distributed mass production of open-source ventilator designs. - Intubation is complicated procedure, not easily learned, special requirements on equipment. - What is possible? - Limits: man-power Mass-Gatherings 01:55:08 Mass-Gatherings and COVID19. - Protests have been outruled, mass-gatherings, conferences have been cancelled. - smuggler: Crypto-Travelling-Circus is completely dead at the moment. Effects? - Frank: maybe there’s more code written now. ;) - smuggler: After lockdown, they might stil want to have lists with legal names for gatherings and events. Permits are likely. - Restart by checking Immunization of participients (Certificate of Immunity?). - smuggler: Protests and demonstrations are a building block of democracy. - This has been taken away: “If you don’t know there’s currently a pandemic going on, it could also be confused with being a coup d'êtat, where basically nobody is allowed on the streets anymore, you cannot have protests anymore, you can’t meet people, you can’t go to the government office and demand your rights to be honored…” - Democracy incompatible with pandemics? Electronic Voting, Remote Elections 02:00:15 Electronic Voting - US: push for electronic voting (easy manipulation possible). 02:00:52 Secrecy of Vote: voting by email - EU Parliament mistakenly sent mail to all members, instead of counting party. - Remote working doesn’t work so well for parliament work. - Impact on system. 02:02:05 Frank: “We’re not prepared for a pandemic in terms of processes.” - The Law is not in place to be done in a remote way. - There’s no way to not go to the notary in person (even for authorizing someone else). - Hire someone who is immune? Antibody Gophers And Plasma Farms 02:03:18 Arto: People who have anti-bodies and can prove it, will be in high demand. - For serum (blood), and as gophers. - Blood plasma trade from Wuhan survivors (plasma farms). - China influencing geopolitical alliances through plasma trade? - Dark Markets add blood category? Burning Through Population 02:06:02 More reckless people have more influence now. - Frank: “States who let it burn quickest through their population, are the ones who will be first in line when the economy restarts.” - Arto: Overwhelmed hospitals will give them reason to rethink. - Brazil uses the burning through. - smuggler: might fix the pension system. 02:07:58 Three models: - complete lockdown (Wuhan approach, Examples: Singapore, South Korea). - complete burn-through scenario (mass casualties, Examples maybe Sweden and Brazil?). - those who cannot decide between either (Western countries, Examples: Germany, USA). Lessons From SARS 02:09:30 Asian countries who are SARS veterans reacted differently. - Greenfeld, Karl Taro (2006): China Syndrome: The True Story of the 21st Century’s First Great Epidemic - Very valuable lessons in there. - Strategic stockpiles (Singapore vs. USA). 02:11:23 Vaccine Developments - Bill Gates TED Connects talk 2020 - at least one year Cash 02:13:00 smuggler: Cash= Regulartory reactive control; Everything Else= Future Bio Defense - Assumption: Spreading of cash= spreading of contaminants. - Immedeate move by some states: restrictions, move to electronic payment systems. - Restrictions on cash before social distancing, limitation of how many people can be in the shop at the same time, disinfection of cards, queues, no PPE… etc. - Contactless payments by card. Problem: PIN number, but: allowed amounts without PIN have been upped. - You do not control the money on your card, you just have a claim for this amount to your bank. 02:17:10 Assets with direct control, without third party. - Cash (might be difficult to spend, tho). - Gold (Coins!), or Silver Coins. - Executive Order 6102, 1933: USA might confiscate Gold again in 2020. - Cryptocurrencies. Problem: Not widely accepted (at your local supermarket?), and strong dependecy on working exchange, communication, and energy infrastructure. - smuggler: “Our Value Transfer Systems are not as resilient as we would like them to be, and not at all trustworthy.” - “Perfect opportunity” to push cashless. - Arto quoting: “All the Fiat currencies are sinking, just at different rates.” 02:20:05 Possible solutions - Move to crypto, scan QR codes? See problems above. - Frank& smuggler’s SCRIT: cheap, super fast, offline capable, untraceable ecash. Backable system with gold, Bitcoin, etc. - Buying physical gold is really hard at Berlin at the moment, gold-backed SCRIT might be a very good solution. Biodefense 02:23:00 Long-term implementations, strategic security response. - Temperature checks. Not so effective for COVID19. - Rapid testing. Might become mandatory at border crossing. - Arto: Some Chinese hacked this screening by taking drugs to lower temperature. False Positives. - Actively circumventing the measures: first case in France was Chinese woman fleeing China. - smuggler: “It’s fascinating how people are either not believing that they might be a risk, or really not giving a shit and then breaking sensible rules…” - Arto: SARS lesson, doctors showing symptoms rationalized it away (human denial). - “Coronavirus gives you the urge to travel” memes - Setting up border camps for mandatory quarantine plus rapid testing, three times negative and you can go in (Hongkong, Singapore, China, some Balkan countries). - India: internal ID plus health checkpoints. 02:29:15 Freedom of travel. - Germany: restricting travel to certain states. - Italy and Spain: restrict leaving house! - Spain: Dog-walking is a legit reason to leave house, renting dog business. Face Recognition And Masks. 02:31:28 Future of Face Recognition with masks. - Airport CCTV upgrades: Thermal imaging. - AI face recognition also works with masks: - Hikvision Fever Screening Thermal Camera - Thermal Body Temp Measurement Solution - Dahua - temperature pattern is biometric indicator - use overlay infrared and visual light to see partially through a lot of mask types. - Privacy Extremists Masks: should be impenetrable with infrared, and helmet-like - Biometrics take 150-250 points (most: eye, nose, mouth) 02:34:00 Abortion of face recognition rollout in the West? - EU considering ban., further reading: The EU’s agenda to regulate AI does little to rein in facial recognition Shifting Old And New Behaviors 02:34:48 smuggler: “If masks become standard attire […] it would undermine a lot of biometric data to social networks.” - Standard cell camera won’t pick up on your ID (random snapshots). - Arto: Hongkong forbid wearing of masks because of the protests, now masks are mandatory. Things change! - Why is it psychological hurdle for Westeners? - Influencer and celebrity campaigns. 02:37:12 Handshakes, a thing of the past. - It’s a dirty habit. 02:37:30 Guided by mainstream behavior. - Frank: At one point it will be weird, when you don’t wear a mask. - Arto: Tipping point should be low, 20-30%: Social tipping points - Frank: Might be temporary, masks are uncomfortable, habit might not stick. - Arto: Community responsibility in Asian countries is higher. - smuggler: Designs are old and for special purposes, maybe something new will emerge. - Positive side of the Pandemic. :) Infection control and identity, physical privacy 02:40:42 Testing, and contact tracing, enforced quarantine, isolation. - Larry Brilliant’s TED talk: “Early detection, rapid response.” - As soon as you have positive tested people: - First measure: Isolation. - Second measure: Test them in isolation until release. - Call people on person’s contact list and put into isolation as well. - Contact Chain: Contacts of infected person or also contacts of contacts? Depends on how fast testing is, and symptomatics and spread of disease. - SARS-CoV-2 contact tracing should be 2 hops (including contacts of contacts). - Introverts might have an advantage here. - Cellphone or wearable with contract tracing app: Device exchange 02:46:00 First Option: Broadcasting System on Phone or Wearable. - South Korea Contact Tracing App: Bluetrace. - Register with phone number, connected with key of health authority. Broadcast via Bluetooth. - Gives health authorities list of contacts and means to contact them. - South Korea is watching quarantined citizens with a smartphone app. Thousands in coronavirus lockdown will be monitored for symptoms—and tracked to make sure they stay at home and don’t become “super spreaders.” 02:48:00 German Contact Tracing App: Still in application rounds. 02:48:20 Second Option: Cellphone Location Tracking. Example: Israel. Data is always available to cellphone provider, this data is used. 2-10m radius for COVID19, and indoor/ outdoor problem - cellphone data is not precise enough. 02:49:46 Third option: GPS logging. either directly broadcast to health authority, or store it for a day. 02:50:35 Privacy risks: enormous networks of social interactions, with recording. Records of location data, either centralized or hard to control. A lot of countried where people are immedeately findable by state. Arto: Pre-requisite is connection between legal person and the device. In Ukraine, SIM cards are still anonymous. smuggler: “The reason it is done is because it simulates actionism.” Cellphone location weakness: doesn’t work for contact tracing. Goal might be to enforce social distancing and dissolve large groups. Contact tracing weakness: catching too many people. Frank: “It would be a total privacy nightmare, but […] it a good solution to a pandemic problem, which means every epidemilogist is asking for it, and […] it only really works if basically all people use it.” Likely to end with a global soliution? Enforcing Isolation 02:54:50 Quarantine, and enforcing isolation. Hongkong quarantine bracelet solution: wearing bracelet plus app, bluetooth signals, user has to send selfies wearing it. might be all into one app: Testing, and contact tracing, enforced quarantine. 02:57:00 Isolation method: Cordon sanitaire. Make sure person has less contacts. Enforcement by: binding device to body of person (bracelet, wearable), cannot be removed withour destroying it (tamper detection). Device is connected with phone, which knows location. Person with device cannot walk away from phone: Geofencing. (GPS location, cellphone network location, tracking bluetooth beacons and WiFi hotspots; all of these can be verified). Circumvent the system: demanding video of user (biometric recognition and background analysis with lightning). Using fitness trackers, some can already do biometric binding (heartbeat), example Apple iWatch. Rollout for future prison system. Don’t forget to drop your cellphone if you drop the wearable. Location history and social graph becomes available to authorities. Also incorporating sound environment. Using ultrasound beacons instead of bluetooth beacons. Future: Global Scale, Cybercrime 03:03:30 Global Standardization. smuggler: “There’s an enormous amount of work and competition right there, because […] the smart people in the field know, that if their technology works the best, they will become the recommended standard for […] the WHO.” South Korea makes it Open Source, and wants their app to become standard. Theirs is pretty bad on beacon tracing, but it’s not the worst system. 03:04:54 Cybercrime and cyber-warfare. smuggler: “Right now, there’s this rush to roll it out, and there’s almost o consideration spent on things like the privacy of the user, centralization of data, or the possible effects those systems have for a cyberattack. Just imagine you’re able to attack the contact tracing system of another country and create a shit-load of false alarms- or, if you’re able to surpress the working of such a contact tracing system, so that the authorities cannot quickly contain pandemics. So, there’s a huge cybercrime and cyber-warfare aspect, in addition to the privacy aspect.” Can it be prevented? Are there better solutions? Overall method is correct. Network effects are important, you want an integrated global system. Future: Population control, Personal Life, Law 03:08:10 Crowd suppression and population control. Can be used by police to find suspects or crime rings. If it becomes mandatory, these systems will be easily combineable with CCTV. People without beacon can be detected. Enforcement will be easy. Internal checkpoints in places where people gather. Combine with access to apartment buildings (as already done in China): keyless entry. Which is conveniant, and convenience is the ultimate drug. 03:11:02 Effects for personal life. Knowing secret meetings, churches. Dating possibilities: matching infection status. Blackmail for cheating and going to brothels will be easy. 03:11:42 Law and juristic scope. Most countries already have infectious control laws set in place. In theory you can already be arrested, sent to prison, etc., but it’s not enforced yet. Frank: “There’s a lot of laws in the books which seem benign, but when you can 100% enforce them with modern technology, then it becomes a total nightmare.” smuggler: “For me, really, the future as it looks right now is everybody will have contact tracing and isolation enforcing apps, and/or wearables, and if nothing dramatic happens, these systems will be bad for privacy and freedom, globally.” 100.000 people in Italy violating lockdown Italy is increasing fines up to €4.000, and if you break the curfew and are infected, then you can face up to multiple years in prison. Future: Escaping devices, Building Alternatives -03:14:30 Escaping your devices. - Dumb phones/ burner phones, won’t be acceptable anymore. - Arto: “If you plan to go to any civilized area, there will be- automated or not- checkpoints, to see that you are tracked. So, it won’t be that easy, except in the countryside, to actually escape your devices. And that’s a big change from today.” -03:15:20 Prevention and Alternatives. - Big question: can the technology rollout somehow be prevented? Can we build something without the privacy downsides? - smuggler: Even countryside might not be excluded. Voice recognition. - Companies already focussing on third-world country solutions. Tracking beacons are available around US$10, managed by signup stations, no cell needed. 03:20:22 New Tech Acceptance Campaigns. Similar to vaccination campaigns. Countries just need to invite organizations, and create legal enforcement rules. Regional variations possible. 03:21:12 Third world countries. Escape of enforcement might be possible temporarily in third world countryside. Third world countries will take heaviest death toll. Death toll Spanish flu- India: 2 Million; USA: 670.000 Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation helped rolling out for COVID19 already, maybe more charities will follow. Bugs, IoT, LoRa, Specialized Wearables 03:23:26 Implementation problems in first world countries, and bluetooth bugs. More privacy friendly options are bluetooth-based. Secondary option in Hongkong, because of technical troubles: Let WhatsApp broadcast location. Arto: Android and Bluetooth is extremely buggy: Recently discovered bluetooth flaw, unpatchable in Android

August 10, 2012 This week’s episode: “Blessed are They”: St. Mary of Edessa “Among Women” Guest: Dr. Jean Lee This week we look at the transforming story of St. Mary of Edessa whose life took a turn down a desperate path into prostitution. Yet her life was saved by the love of a caring uncle and the grace of forgiveness. My guest this week is Dr. Jean Lee, founder and CEO of Gabriel Outreach, a non-profit Christian counseling agency. Dr Lee share some of her reversion story to Catholicism as well as her journey into the mental health field.
