Podcasts about Big Thinkers

In the early 1980s, when saxophonist Eric Person was coming up, one big question that was being addressed was how to combine the free-swinging improv of the Loft scene with the beauty and power of a large ensemble.  Many fascinating strategies would arrive (Henry Threadgill, Butch Morris, we're looking at you!).  One of the first and most thrilling came from saxophonist David Murray.  Murray was the emerging heavyweight champ of the tenor sax and he packed his Octet with Big Thinkers, Heavy Honkers, and Late-Night Prowlers.  "Men," in the words of Stanley Crouch, "of great magnitude."   And the David Murray Octet always played standing up.     This Monday (1/6) on Deep Focus, Mitch Goldman invites Eric Person into the WKCR archives for an exploration of this explosive and still underappreciated ensemble, from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us next week when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.     Photo credit: no publishing information available.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #/EricPerson #DavidMurray #DavidMurrayOctet #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman

Tom welcomes back the legendary investor Rick Rule to discuss ESG and the mining industry. Rick Rule argues that ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) should be understood in an entirely different way than proposed by politicians - as technology has made it possible to lift up the lower third of mankind materially speaking. The billionaires flying into Davos shouldn't have the right to tell others what not to do; free-market forces are better solutions for these problems, rather than imposing regulations or central planning on individuals as suggested by "big thinkers" like Justin Trudeau. Rule suggests Canada's refusal to sell natural gas as hypocritical in a world becoming more reliant on energy sources like coal. As societies become more wealthy, the willingness to pay for improvements like the environment and habitat improvements increases. He notes that without the use of modern fertilizers, we would need twice the arable land to merely survive. For much of humanity, food would become scarcer and or unaffordable. India is doing a lot of research into growing more food in a smaller area, and they are now a net food exporter. We should use every available technology to steward the land and the well-being of humanity. Solutions already exist and do not need to be imposed by central planners. The success of Central Planners is highly questionable. Socialists have accomplished some amazing, albeit negative things. Talking Points From This Episode Environmental concerns should be addressed through technology, free-market forces & individual solutions rather than regulations or top-down approaches proposed by "big thinkers".Canada's refusal to sell natural gas, hypocritical in a world becoming more reliant on energy sources like coal.Food production can be improved through technology, research, and modern fertilizers.
