Thoả thuận Mỹ - Trung đổi chip lấy đất hiếm: Vì sao chip H20 thành trung tâm cuộc chơi ?

TẠP CHÍ TIÊU ĐIỂM

Giữa tháng 7/2025, xuất hiện một thông tin gây nhiều chú ý về cuộc đối đầu thương mại Mỹ - Trung: chip H20 của tập đoàn Nvidia, chuyên được sử dụng trong lĩnh vực trí tuệ nhân tạo, đã được Mỹ cho phép xuất khẩu trở lại sang thị trường Trung Quốc, sau lệnh đình chỉ được ban hành giữa tháng 4/2025. Thông tin được đưa ra khoảng một tháng sau khi Washington và Bắc Kinh thông báo đạt được một thỏa thuận sơ bộ đổi chip bán dẫn tân tiến lấy đất hiếm, nhưng không nêu chi tiết. Trong lúc gần như không có thông tin gì về việc xuất khẩu các loại đất hiếm, tức các kim loại chiến lược, mà Trung Quốc nới lỏng trở lại với Mỹ, tin tức về chip H20 được quảng bá rầm rộ trên truyền thông Hoa Kỳ. Vì sao chip H20 trở thành trung tâm của cuộc đọ sức công nghệ, địa - chiến lược Mỹ - Trung ? RFI đặt câu hỏi với nhà báo Lê Ngọc, từ Washington DC. Chip H20, tâm điểm truyền thông của thoả thuận sơ bộ Mỹ - Trung Về thỏa thuận sơ bộ Mỹ - Trung liên quan đến chip H20, nhà báo Lê Ngọc trước hết cho biết một số nét : « Trong một thông báo chí cách đây hơn một tuần, hôm 15/7, Nvidia hãng sản xuất chip cho trí tuệ nhân tạo lớn nhất thế giới thông báo chính quyền Mỹ cấp phép cho họ nối lại việc cung cấp chip H20 cho Trung Quốc và họ hy vọng sẽ sớm giao những lô hàng đầu tiên trở lại. Chip H20 đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc phát triển các ứng dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo và hiện tại chỉ có Nvdia mới có khả năng sản xuất loại chip tân tiến này. Động thái này diễn ra trong lúc Bắc Kinh và Washington đang cạnh tranh quyết liệt để giành ưu thế về trí tuệ nhân tạo. Hồi cuối tháng trước, sau một cái thời gian đàm phán căng thẳng ở Luân Đôn và Geneva, Washington và Bắc Kinh đã đồng ý một khuôn khổ thương mại sơ bộ mà theo đó Trung Quốc sẽ nối lỏng việc hạn chế xuất khẩu đất hiếm sang Mỹ và đổi lại, Mỹ dỡ bỏ hạn chế xuất khẩu các sản phẩm công nghệ sang Trung Quốc. Dù đây chỉ là một thỏa thuận sơ bộ, nhưng các nhà quan sát cho rằng đó là dấu hiệu cho thấy hai siêu cường này đang muốn giảm căng thẳng thương mại, hướng tới một đại thỏa thuận để cuối cùng giải quyết rốt ráo những tranh chấp giữa hai nước. Trong đó quan trọng nhất là các lệnh kiểm soát xuất khẩu các mặt hàng nhạy cảm của Mỹ sang Trung Quốc và Trung Quốc cuối cùng sẽ mở rộng quyền tiếp cận thị trường cho hàng hóa Mỹ. Theo lời trần tình của ông bộ trưởng Thương Mại Mỹ ông Howard Lutnick với Reuters hôm 15/07, quyết định này đã kích hoạt một làn sóng các công ty Trung Quốc tranh nhau mua chip H20 của Nvdia. » Chip H20 là một loại GPU, hay bộ vi xử lý đồ họa, là trụ cột của công nghệ trí tuệ nhân tạo. Tập đoàn Nvidia hiện độc quyền thị trường này : GPU do Nvidia sản xuất chiếm 90% thị phần toàn cầu. Kể từ năm 2022, dưới thời tổng thống Joe Biden, với chính sách « giảm thiểu nguy cơ » (derisking), chính quyền Mỹ đã đưa ra nhiều biện pháp ngăn chặn việc bán các bộ vi xử lý GPU tiên tiến nhất cho Trung Quốc, nhằm làm giảm tốc độ phát triển công nghệ của Trung Quốc. Chip H20 vốn là loại GPU được thiết kế riêng để xuất khẩu sang thị trường Trung Quốc từ năm ngoái, với các tính năng được coi là nằm dưới mức nguy hiểm cho an ninh của nước Mỹ, khiến Trung Quốc không thể tiếp cận các công nghệ trọng yếu. Tuy nhiên, chính quyền Donald Trump hồi giữa tháng 4/2025 vừa qua đã áp đặt đòi hỏi cấp phép riêng đối với chip H20, trong bối cảnh cuộc chiến thuế quan vừa mở màn, với đối thủ số một là Trung Quốc. Cấp phép cho chip H20 đe dọa an ninh quốc gia của Mỹ Việc ngăn chặn xuất khẩu chip H20 sang Trung Quốc khiến Nvidia thiệt hại khoảng 5,5 tỉ đô trong ba tháng vừa qua, theo tập đoàn Mỹ. Việc chính quyền Trump bật đèn xanh cho việc xuất khẩu trở lại chip H20 gây nhiều phản ứng trái ngược tại Mỹ. Nhà báo Lê Ngọc cho biết trước hết về các phản ứng chỉ trích: « Hiện tại thì có hai luồng quan điểm đối lập nhau. Chúng ta đã biết hạn chế xuất khẩu để đảm bảo an ninh quốc gia của Mỹ là một vấn đề hết sức quan trọng đối với các nhà lập pháp tại đồi Capitol. Việc cả chính quyền Trump và chính quyền Biden trước đây đều ban hành những lệnh hạn chế xuất khẩu những công nghệ trọng yếu với Trung Quốc được sự ủng hộ của lưỡng đảng trong Quốc hội. Bây giờ thì ông Trump rút lại một phần lệnh cấm đó, đương nhiên sẽ gây ra phản ứng rất mạnh mẽ từ phía cả hai đảng. Dân biểu John Moolenaar, chủ tịch ủy ban đặc trách về Trung Quốc tại Hạ Viện, thuộc Đảng Cộng hòa, trong tuyên cáo báo chí, cho rằng chip H20 rất là lợi hại, theo cuộc điều tra lưỡng đảng và có vai trò quan trọng trong sự vươn mình của các công ty AI Trung Quốc, ví dụ như DeepSeek, một tên tuổi rất đình đám hồi đầu năm nay. Ông cũng cho rằng điều quan trọng là Mỹ phải duy trì thế dẫn đầu và không thể để cho Đảng Cộng sản Trung Quốc nắm được các công nghệ AI tân tiến. Dân biểu này cũng cho biết sẽ yêu cầu bộ Thương Mại giải thích rõ. Về phía đối lập, Đảng Dân chủ cũng đã có phản ứng rất mạnh mẽ về quyết định của chính quyền Trump. Dân biểu Raja Krishnamoorthi, thành viên cấp cao của Ủy ban đặc trách về Trung Quốc, mà tôi vừa đề cập, cũng ra tuyên bố nói rằng quyết định này của chính quyền Trump đã đặt vào tay đối thủ các công nghệ tân tiến nhất của chúng ta. Điều này còn nguy hiểm ở chỗ nó bất nhất với lập trường mà chính quyền từng tuyên bố trước đây về việc kiểm soát xuất khẩu đối với Trung Quốc. Nếu các công ty Trung Quốc mua được số lượng lớn chip H20 này, với số lượng 1 triệu, Bắc Kinh có thể sẽ thu hẹp đáng kể ưu thế dẫn đầu của Mỹ trong lĩnh vực trí tuệ nhân tạo. Đây là nhận định của ông Divyansh Kaushik, một chuyên gia về AI thuộc hãng tư vấn Beacon Global Strategies có trụ sở ở Washington D.C. » Cấp phép cho chip H20: « Lá bài đàm phán » của chính quyền Trump ? Việc cấp phép cho chip H20 tuy nhiên được nhiều người ủng hộ, coi đây là một « lá bài đàm phán » của chính quyền Trump. Nhà báo Lê Ngọc giải thích : « Đương nhiên chính quyền Mỹ sẽ biện hộ về quyết định này. Họ cho rằng điều này là cần thiết để mở cửa cánh cửa đối với đất hiếm của Trung Quốc và là một cái thủ thuật đàm phán mà thôi. Giáo sư Khương Hữu Lộc, giảng dạy về Quản trị Kinh doanh tại trường Cao học Keller về Quản trị thuộc Đại học Devry, cũng đồng ý với nhận định này của chính quyền Trump. Theo ông, tổng thống Trump biết đất hiếm là điểm yếu của Mỹ, nên tất nhiên Mỹ phải có cái gì đó để nhượng bộ Trung Quốc, nên việc dùng đến chip của Nvdia chỉ là một lá bài thương lượng. Và ông cho rằng đây là một điều bất khả kháng trong lúc Mỹ phụ thuộc từ 70 đến 75% đất hiếm từ Trung Quốc. Nếu mà không có đất hiếm, Mỹ sẽ gặp rất nhiều khó khăn trong việc sản xuất chip và Trí tuệ nhân tạo. Giáo sư Khương Hữu Lộc cũng cho rằng việc cấm đoán chip này theo yêu cầu của Quốc hội cũng không có tác dụng gì hết, tại vì cuối cùng cũng chỉ làm cho Trung Quốc phải tự lực cánh sinh mà thôi. Việc cấm đoán này chỉ làm cho kỹ nghệ AI của Trung Quốc bị chậm lại chừng 1, 2 năm thôi. Nếu Mỹ tiếp tục giữ lệnh cấm này thì sẽ đem lại lợi thế cho các tập đoàn công nghệ của Trung Quốc, như Huawei, hay tập đoàn Hàn Quốc Samsung. Tôi dẫn lời của ông Lộc nói với tôi là chính xác như thế này : Thay vì như thế thì nên để Trung Quốc lệ thuộc vào chip của Nvidia để Nvidia dẫn đầu thế giới về chip trí tuệ nhân tạo. Ông cũng lưu ý rằng : chip H20 chỉ có năng lực bằng khoảng 40% năng lực của một con chip tân tiến hơn của Nvdia là H100, mà chip này không được bán cho Trung Quốc. Và do đó, nếu như Trung Quốc có sử dụng con chip H20 này trong quốc phòng thì cũng không gây nguy hại gì cho lắm đối với an ninh của Mỹ. Bộ trưởng Thương Mại Howard Lutnick khi biện hộ cho quyết định này, giải thích Nvdia sẽ có thể áp đặt một cái ưu thế gọi là ‘‘không thể đảo ngược'', khi mà các hãng Trung Quốc chưa chế tạo được chip mà Nvdia làm ra, họ sẽ buộc ngày càng phải gắn bó, như lời ông nói là ‘‘nghiện công nghệ của Nvdia''. » Chiến thắng của Nvidia Sự kiện chip H20 được cấp phép trở lại đi liền với việc chủ nhân tập đoàn Nvidia Jensen Huang (Hoàng Nhân Huân), công dân Mỹ gốc Đài Loan, trở thành nhân vật trung tâm của cuộc chơi. Nhà báo Lê Ngọc giải thích : « Trước khi Mỹ đưa ra cái quyết định này, chúng ta thấy vai trò cá nhân của ông Hoàng rất là lớn. Quyết định này được ra chỉ sau có vài ngày sau cuộc gặp của ông Hoàng với tổng thống Trump tại Nhà Trắng. Trong những tháng trước, ông Hoàng cũng tăng cường vận động hành lang rất quyết liệt để chính quyền Mỹ dỡ bỏ hạn chế này. Cho nên sau khi quy định này được tung ra đó thì nhiều nhà quan sát cho rằng đây là một thắng lợi của Nvdia và thắng lợi của cá nhân ông Hoàng. Tại vì như chúng ta đã biết, nếu tập đoàn Nvdia mà bị áp lệnh cấm này thì họ sẽ chịu thiệt hại rất, rất là lớn. Thị trường Trung Quốc, theo cái báo cáo tài chính thường niên mới nhất của công ty này, được Reuters dẫn lại, chiếm đến 17 tỷ đô la doanh thu cho Nvdia trong năm tài chính kết thúc vào ngày 26/1/2025, chiếm 13% tổng doanh số. Cái lệnh cấm bán chip H20 cho Trung Quốc đã khiến thị phần của Nvdia ở Trung Quốc bị giảm đi một nửa, và quan trọng hơn nó ngăn trở ưu thế dẫn đầu toàn cầu về công nghệ của Nvdia. Đó là lập luận của ông Hoàng Nhân Huân nói với CNBC. Rõ ràng quyết định này của chính quyền Trump mặc dù được xem là cái một công cụ để mà giúp Mỹ kiểm soát lại đất hiếm từ Trung Quốc, nhưng cái người thắng lợi lớn nhất sau hậu trường chính là Nnvida và ông Hoàng Nhân Huân. » Trang mạng thân Bắc Kinh Asia Times dẫn lời một chuyên gia ở Quảng Đông, nhận định : « Sức mạnh tính toán FP16 của H20 chỉ bằng 15% so với H100, trong khi băng thông NVLink bị giảm từ 900GB/giây xuống còn 400GB/giây. Bộ chuyển đổi (TE) của chip đã bị loại bỏ hoàn toàn », « thiết kế như vậy đảm bảo giảm khả năng suy luận (inference ability) của AI  và khả năng đào tạo AI giảm, thực hiện hoàn hảo chiến lược của Hoa Kỳ là ngăn chặn các chip cao cấp, nhưng không chặn các chip tầm trung, đối với Trung Quốc » và « bằng cách hạn chế hiệu năng cốt lõi của H20, Mỹ có thể duy trì sức mạnh phong tỏa chip tân tiến khi trao cho các công ty Trung Quốc một ly ‘‘rượu độc'' ». Ngược lại, theo trang mạng Pháp ngữ Le MagIT, của công ty thông tin về công nghệ số Informa TechTarget, có trụ sở tại Massachusetts, Mỹ, tập đoàn Nvidia của ông Hoàng Nhân Huân, khi thiết kế H20, đã để ngỏ nhiều lợi thế cho các doanh nghiệp AI Trung Quốc, ví dụ như « với giá rẻ hơn từ 3 cho đến 4 lần so với H100 », việc phối hợp nhiều GPU H20 cho phép có được một số tính năng tương tự như H100. Với chip H20, doanh nghiệp Trung Quốc cũng có thể dễ dàng có được nguồn cung, hơn hẳn các doanh nghiệp phương Tây thường trong tình trạng thiếu hàng. Tập đoàn Nvidia thời đối đầu địa-chính trị Mỹ-Trung: « Cầu nối » hay « người chơi hai mặt » ? Nvidia trong thời gian gần đây nổi lên trên thế giới như tập đoàn đứng đầu thế giới về thu hút vốn đầu tư trên thị trường, qua mặt tập đoàn Appel hồi cuối năm ngoái, và trở thành công ty đầu tiên trên thế giới trị giá hơn 4.000 tỉ đô la. Ngay từ đầu năm nay, chủ nhân Nvidia thể hiện rõ quan điểm cực lực chống lại các biện pháp siết chặt xuất khẩu chip sang Trung Quốc của chính quyền tiền nhiệm Mỹ, với quy định « AI diffusion rule », ban hành ngày 13/01/2025, ít ngày trước khi Biden mãn nhiệm (bài « Hoàng Nhân Huân tại Trung Quốc: hoạt động ngoại giao phối hợp của Nvidia giữa Bắc Kinh và Washington », trang mạng Pháp ngữ Le Grand Continent, 17/07/2025), đã bị chính quyền Trump hủy bỏ sau đó. Ngay sau khi Washington bật đèn xanh trở lại cho chip H20, ông Hoàng Nhân Huân bay sang tham dự Triển lãm về chuỗi cung ứng quốc tế của Trung Quốc/ China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) lần thứ ba, tại Bắc Kinh. Tại đây, lãnh đạo Nvidia, với bộ trang phục truyền thống Trung Hoa, đã được chào đón như một ngôi sao. Tại cuộc triển lãm này, chủ nhân Nvidia đã nồng nhiệt ca ngợi sự phát triển của lĩnh vực Trí tuệ nhân tạo tại Trung Quốc.   Phe cầm quyền của tổng thống Trump có nhiều động thái giảm nhẹ chính sách « derisking » (giảm thiểu rủi ro), ngăn chặn công nghệ bán dẫn tân tiến xuất sang Trung Quốc của chính quyền tiền nhiệm. Nhà báo Lê Ngọc dẫn lại ý kiến của giáo sư Khương Hữu Lộc, đại diện cho luồng quan điểm cho rằng « chính quyền Trump vẫn nên giữ lại những hạn chế xuất khẩu, những công nghệ trọng yếu cho Trung Quốc, nhất là những công nghệ chế tạo chip mà chính quyền Biden trước đây đã siết rất chặt, để bảo đảm Mỹ duy trì ưu thế nhiều nhất có thể trước các đối thủ Trung Quốc ». Chúng ta hãy chờ xem trong thỏa thuận tổng thể sắp tới, Trung Quốc sẽ mở cửa thị trường cho Mỹ đến đâu và Mỹ sẽ nới lỏng đến đâu việc xuất khẩu những công nghệ nhạy cảm sang Trung Quốc.

China's national college entrance exam, known as the gaokao, will take place from Saturday to Tuesday and feature several new developments, including the rollout of exam reforms in eight additional provinces, expanded university enrollment and the launch of new academic majors.中国的全国大学入学考试,即高考,将于周六至下周二举行,并将呈现多项新举措,包括在另外八个省份推行考试改革、扩大高校招生规模以及开设新专业。This year, eight more provincial-level regions will implement the gaokao reform: Sichuan, Henan, Shanxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Qinghai and the Ningxia Hui and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions. So far, 29 provinces have adopted the new gaokao mechanism.今年,又有八个省级地区将启动高考改革,其中包括:四川、河南、山西、云南、陕西、青海以及宁夏回族自治区和内蒙古自治区。截至目前,已有29个省份采用了新的高考机制。Under the reform, candidates must take three nationally standardized subjects — Chinese, mathematics and a foreign language — along with one primary elective subject, either physics or history, and two additional electives selected from chemistry, geography, political science and biology.根据新的改革方案,考生必须参加三门全国统一高考科目——语文、数学和一门外语——外加一门首选科目(物理或历史),以及从化学、地理、政治和生物中选出的两门再选科目。Xiong Bingqi, director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the reform, launched in 2014, has provided students with greater flexibility in subject selection and aims to place more emphasis on students' individuality and personal interests while establishing a more comprehensive and multi-dimensional evaluation system.21世纪教育研究院院长熊丙奇表示,这项于2014年启动的改革为学生提供了更大的学科选择灵活性,旨在更注重学生的个体特质和个人兴趣,同时致力于建立一个更为综合性、多维度的评价体系。"However, the issue of solely relying on test scores persists. It is necessary to strengthen the reform of comprehensive quality evaluation," Xiong said.“然而,唯分数论问题依然存在。目前还是有必要加强综合素质评价的改革。”熊丙奇表示。Many universities have expanded enrollment plans this year, including Tsinghua University, Peking University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The additional spots, ranging from dozens to several hundred, are primarily concentrated in fundamental disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, as well as in strategic and cutting-edge fields.许多大学今年扩大了招生计划,包括清华大学、北京大学和上海交通大学。其新增名额从几十个到数百个不等,主要集中在数学、物理、化学等基础学科,以及战略性和前沿领域。Xi'an Jiaotong University in Shaanxi province has been expanding its enrollment over the past decade and plans to add 200 more spots this year, according to Cao Liangzhi, director of the university's admissions office.据西安交通大学招生办公室主任曹良志介绍,该校在过去十年一直在扩大招生规模,今年计划再增加200个招生名额。"The focus is primarily on emerging technology industries and fields geared toward the future," Cao said. "In response to technological and industrial transformation and upgrading, we aim to cultivate more high-quality talent."曹主任表示:“扩招的重点主要集中在新兴科技产业和面向未来的领域。为了应对科技与产业转型升级,我们旨在培养更多高素质人才。”This year, China's college admissions introduced 29 new undergraduate majors across fields such as artificial intelligence, carbon neutrality and digital governance.今年,中国高校招生新增了29个本科专业,涵盖人工智能、碳中和、数字治理等领域。According to the Ministry of Education, these new programs are designed to align with national strategic priorities, market demands and technological advancements.教育部表示,这些新专业的设置旨在对接国家战略所需、满足市场需求并适应科技发展。Beijing Jiaotong University has added five undergraduate majors in fields of national strategic demand, including data science and big data technology, robotics engineering, intelligent manufacturing engineering, intelligent vehicle engineering, and international journalism and communication.北京交通大学新增了五个面向国家战略需求的本科专业,包括数据科学与大数据技术、机器人工程、智能制造工程、智能车辆工程以及国际新闻与传播。The Beijing Institute of Technology has introduced a low-altitude technology and engineering major, focusing on cultivating top-tier talent to meet the strategic needs of low-altitude economic development.北京理工大学新开设了低空技术专业,旨在培养顶尖人才,以满足低空经济发展的战略需求。Universities are adjusting their programs to align with social development and meet societal needs, according to Xiong.熊丙奇表示,高校正调整专业设置以适应社会发展并满足社会需求。Around 13.35 million students have registered for this year's gaokao, a decrease of 70,000 compared to last year and marking the first decline in a decade, according to data released by the ministry.根据教育部发布的数据,今年高考报名人数约为1335万,较去年减少7万人,系近十年来首次下降。The decline in exam candidates is primarily due to a decrease in vocational college entrance exam participants, who are no longer required to take the gaokao, Xiong explained. However, the number of candidates for the regular gaokao has increased, he said.熊丙奇解释说,考生人数下降主要是由于高职院校分类考试招生规模扩大,这部分考生不再必须参加统一高考。但他指出,参加普通高考的考生人数实际有所增加。"It is hoped that universities will expand enrollment based on their unique conditions and strengths, focusing not only on increasing numbers but also on improving quality," Xiong said.熊丙奇表示:“希望各高校能立足自身条件与特色扩大招生规模,既要注重数量增长,更要着力提升培养质量。”national college entrance exam高考enrollment/ɪnˈrəʊlmənt/n. 注册;参加;入学additional electives再选科目primary elective subject首选科目nationally standardized subjects全国统考科目admission/ədˈmɪʃn/n. 准许进入;招生

Home Poisons: Why Your Furniture, Cookware, and Carpet Might Be Making You Sick

The Darin Olien Show

Your house should be your safe space. But what if it's the source of your symptoms? In this solo episode of Super Life, Darin Olien uncovers the hidden poisons lurking inside your home—from cookware and furniture to cleaning products and carpets. Darin breaks down the scientific research behind common toxins like PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde, and flame retardants, and shows you how these “fatal conveniences” may be silently disrupting your hormones, damaging your gut, and weakening your immune system. You'll walk away from this episode with practical, easy-to-implement solutions that will help you detox your environment and build a home that supports vitality, longevity, and true wellness.   1. Formaldehyde in Your Home: The Silent Threat Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant found in engineered wood products, cabinetry, moldings, countertops, and furniture. It is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and has been linked to respiratory issues, asthma, and even leukemia (Zhang et al., 2020). How to Reduce Formaldehyde Exposure:  Opt for solid wood furniture instead of pressed wood.  Use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and finishes.  Keep your home well-ventilated with HEPA air purifiers.    2. The Hidden Dangers of PFAS (Forever Chemicals) PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are found in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, waterproof clothing, and even drinking water. Studies show these chemicals accumulate in the body and are linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, and reproductive toxicity (DeWitt et al., 2019). How to Reduce PFAS Exposure:  Switch to cast iron or stainless steel cookware.  Avoid stain-resistant treatments on carpets and furniture.  Use water filters certified to remove PFAS.    3. Plastics: More Than Just an Environmental Issue Plastics release harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which disrupt the endocrine system, leading to infertility, metabolic disorders, and even neurological issues (Talsness et al., 2009).  How to Reduce Plastic Exposure:  Use glass or stainless steel containers.  Avoid microwaving food in plastic.  Choose BPA-free household products.    4. Carpets: A Reservoir of Toxins and Allergens Carpets harbor SVOCs (semi-volatile organic compounds), flame retardants, and pesticides, making them a major source of indoor air pollution and allergens. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable (Cao et al., 2017). How to Reduce Carpet-Related Risks:  Choose natural fiber rugs like wool or cotton.  Regularly clean with a HEPA vacuum.  Use non-toxic carpet cleaners.    5. Fragrances: The Airborne Toxins in Your Home Synthetic fragrances found in air fresheners, candles, cleaning products, and perfumes contain phthalates and VOCs that are linked to respiratory issues, migraines, and hormone disruption (Steinemann, 2018).  How to Detox Your Home's Air:  Use essential oil diffusers instead of synthetic air fresheners.  Choose fragrance-free cleaning products.  Improve indoor air quality with houseplants like peace lilies and spider plants.    SuperLife Home Detox: Steps to Create a Healthy Living Space Switch to Non-Toxic Cleaning Products – Avoid harsh chemicals; opt for vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils.  Improve Ventilation – Open windows daily and use HEPA air filters.  Filter Your Water – Invest in a high-quality water filtration system to remove PFAS, chlorine, and heavy metals.  Avoid Toxic Furniture and Decor – Choose organic bedding, non-toxic paint, and untreated wood furniture.  Ditch the Plastics – Use glass, stainless steel, or silicone alternatives for food storage and cookware.  Go Green with Personal Care Products – Check labels for parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.   Conclusion The reality is, our homes can be filled with hidden toxins that impact our health in ways we don't even realize. But the good news? We have the power to change that. By making small, intentional choices—like choosing cleaner products, improving ventilation, and ditching harmful plastics—you can create a SuperLife-approved home that truly supports your well-being. Have you taken steps to detox your home? Share your experience with us on social media @DarinOlien, and let's keep this conversation going!

In Part 2, we start off talking about the significance of opening a Latinx-owned bookstore in the heart of the Mission, on 24th Street.   The folks who run Medicine for Nightmares call the entire space at 3036 24th Street—the bookstore in front and gallery in back—"The Portal." Josiah talks about the intention to utilize that gallery space to highlight art and artists in the Mission. The gallery is also often home to community group meetings, further solidifying its importance. That's my kind of mixed-use. In the three years that MfN has been open, they've hosted more than 800 events in the gallery.   To couch our discussion of how they choose which books to sell at Medicine for Nightmares, Josiah points out that the last time he checked, something like 75 or 80 percent of bookstores in the US are white-owned. He shares stories of sneaking out of his home in Marin when he was a teenager, driving to The City, and going to City Lights, which was open until midnight in those days. It was there, though, that Josiah discovered Latinx poets, writers who spoke his language, literally.   For him and his business partner, Tân Khánh Cao, it was always about wanting to see themselves reflected on the shelves. Josiah mentions a long-held, racist belief by publishers that Black and brown folks don't read. That, of course, is nonsense, and the bookstore stands with others in direct defiance and opposition to that mindset.   On their first day of business, Josiah says that a young mom came in with her kid and went to the children's books section of the store. He and Tân noticed that she was crying, so they went over to see if everything was OK. "I've never been in a bookstore before and seen a kids' book that looks like my kid," she told them. That was the first day.   We then turn to the story of how they came up with the name of the store. Joshia and Tân were throwing out potential names to each other out front on the sidewalk one day before they opened. "Each one of us was coming up with a worse name than the other," he says, half-jokingly. One of them suggested looking at titles from Sun-Ra, a musician they both like. One of his songs is called "Medicine for a Nightmare." It clicked for them instantly.   Then we talk about the growing call to ban books in the US. In my opinion, simply opening for business and turning the lights on is an act of defiance for Josiah and Tân. He goes on to state that they're well aware that they could be shut down and/or arrested every day. He says they get harassing phone calls from time to time, in fact.   We end the episode with Josiah's thoughts about our theme on Storied: San Francisco this season—Keep It Local.   Medicine for Nightmares 3036 24th Street Sunday 12-9pm / Monday 12:30-9 pm Tuesday–Thursday 12:30-10pm Friday 12:30-11pm Saturday 12-11pm @medicinefornightmares (415) 824-1761   Photography by Mason J.

Painting US Empire: Nineteenth-Century Art and Its Legacies (University of Chicago Press, 2025) by Dr. Maggie Cao is the first book to offer a synthetic account of art and US imperialism around the globe in the nineteenth century. In this work, art historian Dr. Cao crafts a nuanced portrait of nineteenth-century US painters' complicity with and resistance to ascendant US imperialism, offering eye-opening readings of canonical works, landscapes of polar expeditions and tropical tourism, still lifes of imported goods, genre paintings, and ethnographic portraiture. Revealing how the US empire was “hidden in plain sight” in the art of this period, Dr. Cao examines artists including Frederic Edwin Church and Winslow Homer who championed and expressed ambivalence toward the colonial project. She also tackles the legacy of US imperialism, examining Euro-American painters of the past alongside global artists of the present. Pairing each chapter with reflections on works by contemporary anticolonial artists including Tavares Strachan, Nicholas Galanin, and Yuki Kihara, Dr. Cao addresses important contemporary questions around representation, colonialism, and indigeneity. This book foregrounds an underacknowledged topic in the study of nineteenth-century US art and illuminates the ongoing ecological and economic effects of the US empire. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this work, art historian Dr. Cao crafts a nuanced portrait of nineteenth-century US painters' complicity with and resistance to ascendant US imperialism, offering eye-opening readings of canonical works, landscapes of polar expeditions and tropical tourism, still lifes of imported goods, genre paintings, and ethnographic portraiture. Revealing how the US empire was “hidden in plain sight” in the art of this period, Dr. Cao examines artists including Frederic Edwin Church and Winslow Homer who championed and expressed ambivalence toward the colonial project. She also tackles the legacy of US imperialism, examining Euro-American painters of the past alongside global artists of the present. Pairing each chapter with reflections on works by contemporary anticolonial artists including Tavares Strachan, Nicholas Galanin, and Yuki Kihara, Dr. Cao addresses important contemporary questions around representation, colonialism, and indigeneity. This book foregrounds an underacknowledged topic in the study of nineteenth-century US art and illuminates the ongoing ecological and economic effects of the US empire. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party, loving Jesus makes Christians “unpatriotic.” Bob Fu, founder and president of China Aid, explains: “[The communists believe] you cannot love your country and love Jesus.” Absolute government control of churches and other religious institutions continues to tighten in China as persecuted Christians are unwilling to comply with the doctrines of the Communist Party, which is expanding efforts to “Sinicize” the church. Listen to hear how pastors and church leaders are now being charged with fraud or other financial crimes, rather than charges relating to religion. Bob Fu, author of God's Double Agent, will also share an update on John Cao, who was released from prison last year but still is not free. The CCP continues to watch Cao's every move, yet he continues to serve the Lord through a house church, daily prayer meetings, and a small Bible school — even baptizing new believers despite constant surveillance! Pastor Wang Yi is now six years into his nine-year prison sentence. Like Richard Wurmbrand, who founded The Voice of the Martyrs and wrote hundreds of sermons in his head during his 14 years in prison, Wang Yi has written three books in prison. Wang also continues to pray daily through more than a thousand items on his prayer list. If you'd like to write letters of encouragement to Christian prisoners or petition their governments, go to www.PrisonerAlert.com. Listen as Bob Fu shares how he stays personally encouraged despite constantly hearing of the sufferings of our spiritual family in China. He also suggests specific ways to pray for our Chinese Christian brothers and sisters. The Voice of the Martyrs recently launched a new, daily podcast; Extreme Devotion is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as giving free access to e-books, audio books, video content and feature films.

Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas

It's the end of the year, and time for our annual holiday break here at Mindscape. But as usual, we wrap up with a Holiday Message. This year, inspired by Joni Mitchell's "Hits" and "Misses" albums, I go through my scientific papers and talk about some of my favorites -- some of which were hits, in terms of making an impact on subsequent research, and some of which were misses by that standard. But I love them all! It's an excuse to talk about process -- how papers come to be, from the initial informal idea to sitting down and doing the work.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/12/23/holiday-message-hits-and-misses/Here are links to the papers I discuss in the episode.S.M.
