Podcasts about Cini

David Mayernik is an architect, artist, writer, educator and most of all, he is a life-long student. David grew up in Allentown Pennsylvania. As he tells us during this episode, even at a young age of two he already loved to draw. He says he always had a pencil and paper with him and he used them constantly. His mother kept many of his drawings and he still has many of them to this day.   After graduating from University of Notre Dame David held several positions with various architectural firms. He always believed that he learned more by teaching himself, however, and eventually he decided to leave the professional world of architecture and took teaching positions at Notre Dame. He recently retired and is now Professor Emeritus at Notre Dame.   Our conversation is far ranging including discussions of life, the importance of learning and growing by listening to your inner self. David offers us many wonderful and insightful lessons and thoughts we all can use. We even talk some about about how technology such as Computer Aided Design systems, (CAD), are affecting the world of Architecture. I know you will enjoy what David has to say.

The podcast where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. Hi, I'm Michael Hingson, Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe and the author of the number one New York Times bestselling book, Thunder dog, the story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust. Thanks for joining me on my podcast as we explore our own blinding fears of inclusion unacceptance and our resistance to change. We will discover the idea that no matter the situation, or the people we encounter, our own fears, and prejudices often are our strongest barriers to moving forward.

Wherever you happen to be, to another episode of unstoppable mindset. Today, we get to chat with David Mayernik, unless you're in Europe, and then it's David Mayernik, but either way, we're glad to have him. He is an architect. He is an award winning architect. He's an author. He's done a number of things in his life, and we're going to talk about all of those, and it's kind of more fun to let him be the one to talk more about it, and then I can just pick up and ask questions as we go, and that's what we'll do. But we're really glad that he's here. So David, welcome to unstoppable mindset.   David Mayernik ** 01:57 Oh, thanks so much. Michael, thanks for the invitation. I'm looking forward to it.   Michael Hingson ** 02:02 Well, I know we've been working on getting this set up, and David actually happens to be in Italy today, as opposed to being in the US. He was a professor at Notre Dame for 20 years, but he has spent a lot of time in Europe and elsewhere, and I'm sure he's going to talk about that. But why don't we start, as I mentioned earlier, as I love to do, tell us kind of about the early David growing up.   David Mayernik ** 02:25 Well, so my both of my parents passed away several years ago, and when I was at my mom's funeral, one of our next door neighbors was telling my wife what I was like when I was a kid, and she said he was very quiet and very intense. And I suppose that's how I was perceived. I'm not sure I perceived myself that way I did. The thing about me is I've always drawn my mom. I mean, lots of kids draw, but I drew like credibly, well, when I was, you know, two and three years old. And of course, my mother saved everything. But the best thing about it was that I always had paper and pencil available. You know, we were terribly well off. We weren't poor, but we weren't, you know, well to do, but I never lacked for paper and pencils, and that just allowed me to just draw as much as I possibly could.   Michael Hingson ** 03:16 And so I guess the other question is, of course, do you still have all those old drawings since your mom kept   David Mayernik ** 03:23 them? Well, you know? Yeah, actually, after she passed, I did get her, Well, her collection of them. I don't know that all of them. My father had a penchant for throwing things away, unfortunately. So some of the archive is no longer with us, but no but enough of it. Just odds and bits from different areas of my life. And the thing is, you know, I was encouraged enough. I mean, all kids get encouraged. I think when they're young, everything they do is fabulous, but I had enough encouragement from people who seem to take it seriously that I thought maybe I had something and and it was the kind of thing that allowed me to have enough confidence in myself that I actually enjoyed doing it and and mostly, my parents were just impressed. You know, it just was impressive to them. And so I just happily went along my own way. The thing about it was that I really wanted to find my own path as somebody who drew and had a chance in high school for a scholarship to a local art school. I won a competition for a local art school scholarship, and I went for a couple of lessons, and I thought, you know, they're just teaching me to draw like them. I want to draw like me. So for better or worse, I'm one of those autodidacts who tries to find my own way, and, you know, it has its ups and downs. I mean, the downside of it is it's a slower learning process. Is a lot more trial and error. But the upside of it is, is that it's your own. I mean, essentially, I had enough of an ego that, you know, I really wanted to do. Things my way.   Michael Hingson ** 05:02 Well, you illustrate something that I've believed and articulate now I didn't used to, but I do now a lot more, which is I'm my own best teacher. And the reality is that you you learn by doing, and people can can give you information. And, yeah, you're right. Probably they wanted you to mostly just draw like them. But the bottom line is, you already knew from years of drawing as a child, you wanted to perhaps go a slightly different way, and you worked at it, and it may have taken longer, but look at what you learned.   David Mayernik ** 05:37 Yeah, I think it's, I mean, for me, it's, it's important that whatever you do, you do because you feel like you're being true to yourself somehow. I mean, I think that at least that's always been important to me, is that I don't, I don't like doing things for the sake of doing them. I like doing them because I think they matter. And I like, you know, I think essentially pursuing my own way of doing it meant that it always was, I mean, beyond just personal, it was something I was really committed to. And you know, the thing about it, eventually, for my parents was they thought it was fabulous, you know, loved great that you draw, but surely you don't intend to be an artist, because, you know, you want to have a job and make a living. And so I eventually realized that in high school, that while they, well, they probably would have supported anything I did that, you know, I was being nudged towards something a little bit more practical, which I think happens to a lot of kids who choose architecture like I did. It's a way, it's a practical way of being an artist and and that's we could talk about that. But I think that's not always true.   Michael Hingson ** 06:41 Bill, go ahead, talk about that. Well, I think that the   David Mayernik ** 06:44 thing about architecture is that it's become, well, one it became a profession in America, really, in the 20th century. I mean, it's in the sense that there was a licensing exam and all the requirements of what we think of as, you know, a professional service that, you know, like being a lawyer or a doctor, that architecture was sort of professionalized in the 20th century, at least in the United States. And, and it's a business, you know, ostensibly, I mean, you're, you know, you're doing what you do for a fee. And, and so architecture tries to balance the art part of it, or the creative side, the professional side of it, and the business side. And usually it's some rather imperfect version of all of those things. And the hard part, I think the hardest part to keep alive is the art part, because the business stuff and the professional stuff can really kind of take over. And that's been my trial. Challenge is to try to have it all three ways, essentially.   Michael Hingson ** 07:39 Do you think that Frank Lloyd Wright had a lot to do with bringing architecture more to the forefront of mindsets, mindsets, and also, of course, from an art standpoint, clearly, he had his own way of doing things.   David Mayernik ** 07:54 Yeah, absolutely he comes from, I mean, I wouldn't call it a rebellious tradition, but there was a streak of chafing at East Coast European classicism that happened in Chicago. Louis Sullivan, you know, is mostly responsible for that. And I but, but Right, had this, you know, kind of heroic sense of himself and and I think that his ability to draw, which was phenomenal. His sense that he wanted to do something different, and his sense that he wanted to do something American, made him a kind of a hero. Eventually, I think it coincided with America's growing sense of itself. And so for me, like lot of kids in America, my from my day, if you told somebody in high school you wanted to be an architect, they would give you a book on Frank Lloyd Wright. I mean, that's just, you know, part of the package.   Michael Hingson ** 08:47 Yeah, of course, there are others as well, but still, he brought a lot into it. And of course there, there are now more architects that we hear about and designers and so on the people what, I m Pei, who designed the world, original World Trade Center and other things like that. Clearly, there are a number of people who have made major impacts on the way we design and think of Building and Construction today,   David Mayernik ** 09:17 you know, I mean America's, you know, be kind of, it really was a leader in the development of architecture in the 20th century. I mean, in the 19th century was very much, you know, following what was happening in Europe. But essentially, by the 20th century, the America had a sense of itself that didn't always mean that it rejected the European tradition. Sometimes it tried to do it, just bigger and better, but, but it also felt like it had its, you know, almost a responsibility to find its own way, like me and, you know, come up with an American kind of architecture and and so it's always been in a kind of dialog with architecture from around the world. I mean, especially in Europe, at Frank Lloyd Wright was heavily influenced by Japanese architecture and. And so we've always seen ourselves, I think, in relationship to the world. And it's just the question of whether we were master or pupil to a certain extent,   Michael Hingson ** 10:07 and in reality, probably a little bit of both.   David Mayernik ** 10:12 Yeah, and we are, and I think, you know, acknowledging who we are, the fact that we didn't just, you know, spring from the earth in the United States, where we're all, I mean, essentially all immigrants, mostly, and essentially we, you know, essentially bring, we have baggage, essentially, as a culture, from lots of other places. And that's actually an advantage. I mean, I think it's actually what makes us a rich culture, is the diversity. I mean, even me, my father's family was Slovak, my mother's family Italian. And, you know from when I tell you know Europeans that they think that's just quintessentially American. That's what makes you an American, is that you're not a purebred of some kind.   Michael Hingson ** 10:49 Yeah, yeah. Pure purebred American is, is really sort of nebulous and and not necessarily overly accurate, because you are probably immigrants or part other kinds of races or nationalities as well. And that's, that's okay.   David Mayernik ** 11:08 It's, it's rich, you know, I think it's, it's a richer. It's the extent to which you want to engage with it. And the interesting thing about my parents was that they were both children of first generation immigrants. My mom's parents had been older Italian, and they were already married, and when they came to the States, my father's parents were younger and Slovak, and they met in the United States. And my father really wasn't that interested in his Slovak heritage. I mean, just, you know, he could speak some of the language, you know, really feel like it was something he wanted to hold on to or pass along, was my mom was, I mean, she loved her parents. She, you know, spoke with him in Italian, or actually not even Italian, the dialect from where her parents came from, which is north of Venice. And so she, I think she kind of, whether consciously or unconsciously, passed that on to me, that sense that I wanted to be. I was interested in where I came from, where the origins of my where my roots were, and it's something that had an appeal for me that wasn't just it wasn't front brain, it was really kind of built into who I was, which is why, you know, one of the reasons I chose to go to Notre Dame to study where I also wound up teaching like, welcome back Carter, is that I we had a Rome program, and so I've been teaching in the Rome program for our school, but we, I was there 44 years ago as a student.   Michael Hingson ** 12:28 Yeah. So quite a while, needless to say. And you know, I think, well, my grandmother on my mother's side was Polish, but I I never did get much in the way of information about the culture and so on from her and and my mom never really dealt with it much, because she was totally from The Bronx in New York, and was always just American, so I never really got a lot of that. But very frankly, in talking to so many people on this podcast over almost the last four years, talking to a number of people whose parents and grandparents all came to this country and how that affected them. It makes me really appreciate the kind of people who we all are, and we all are, are a conglomerate of so many different cultures, and that's okay, yeah? I mean,   David Mayernik ** 13:31 I think it's more than okay, and I think we need to just be honest about it, yeah. And, you know, kind of celebrate it, because the Italians brought with them, you know, tremendous skills. For example, a lot of my grandfather was a stone mason. You know, during the Depression, he worked, you know, the for the WPA essentially sponsored a whole series of public works projects in the parks in the town I grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania. And Allentown has a fabulous park system. And my grandfather built a lot of stone walls in the parks in the 1930s and, you know, all these cultures that came to the states often brought, you know, specialized skills. You know, from where they they came from, and, and they enriched the American, you know, skill set, essentially, and, and that's, you know, again, that's we are, who we are because of that, you know, I celebrated I, you know, I'm especially connected to my Italian heritage. I feel like, in part because my grandfather, the stone mason, was a bit of jack of all trades. He could paint and draw. And my mom, you know, wrote poetry and painted. And even though she mostly, you know, in my life, was a was a housewife, but before she met my father, and they got married relatively late for their day, she had a professional life in World War Two, my mom actually went to Penn State for a couple of years in the start of at the start of the war, and then parents wanted her to come home, and so she did two years of engineering. Penn State. When she came back to Allentown, she actually got a job at the local airplane manufacturing plant that was making fighter planes for the United States called company called volte, and she did drafting for them. And then after World War Two, she got a job for the local power company drafting modern electrical kitchens and and so I've inherited all my mom's drafting equipment. And, you know, she's, she's very much a kind of a child of the culture that she came from, and in the sense that it was a, you know, artistic culture, a creative culture. And, you know, I definitely happy and proud of   Michael Hingson ** 15:37 that. You know, one of the things that impresses me, and I think about a lot in talking to so many people whose parents and grandparents immigrated to this country and so on, is not just the skill sets that they brought, but the work ethic that they had, that they imparted to people. And I think people who have had a number of generations here have not always kept that, and I think they've lost something very valuable, because that work ethic is what made those people who they were   David Mayernik ** 16:08 absolutely I mean, my Yeah, I mean my father. I mean absolutely true is, I mean tireless worker, capable of tremendous self sacrifice and and, you know, and that whole generation, I mean, he fought in World War Two. He actually joined, joined the Navy underage. He lied about his age to get in the Navy and that. But they were capable of self, tremendous self sacrifice and tremendous effort. And, you know, I think, you know, we're always, you know, these days, we always talk about work life balance. And I have to say, being an architect, most architects don't have a great work life balance. Mostly it's, it's a lot of work and a little bit of life. And that's, I don't, you know. I think not everybody survives that. Not every architects marriage survives that mine has. But I think it's, you know, that the idea that you're, you're sort of defined by what you do. I think there's a lot of talk these days about that's not a good thing. I I'm sort of okay with that. I'm sort of okay with being defined by what I do.   Michael Hingson ** 17:13 Yeah, and, and that that's, that's okay, especially if you're okay with it. That's good. Well, you So you went to Notre Dame, and obviously dealt with architecture. There some,   David Mayernik ** 17:28 yeah. I mean, the thing, the great thing about Notre Dame is to have the Rome program, and that was the idea of actually a Sicilian immigrant to the States in the early 20th century who became a professor at Notre Dame. And he had, he won the Paris prize. A guy named Frank Montana who won the Paris prize in the 1930s went to Harvard and was a professor at Notre Dame. And he had the good idea that, you know, maybe sending kids to five years of architecture education in Indiana, maybe wasn't the best, well rounded education possible, and maybe they should get out of South Bend for a year, and he, on his own initiative, without even support from the university, started a Rome program, and then said to the university, hey, we have a Rome program now. And so that was, that was his instinct to do that. And while I got, I think, a great education there, especially after Rome, the professor, one professor I had after Rome, was exceptional for me. But you know, Rome was just the opportunity to see great architecture. I mean, I had seen some. I mean, I, you know, my parents would go to Philadelphia, New York and, you know, we I saw some things. But, you know, I wasn't really bowled over by architecture until I went to Rome. And just the experience of that really changed my life, and it gave me a direction,   Michael Hingson ** 18:41 essentially. So the Rome program would send you to Rome for a year.   David Mayernik ** 18:46 Yeah, which is unusual too, because a lot of overseas programs do a semester. We were unusual in that the third year out of a five year undergraduate degree in architecture, the whole year is spent in Rome. And you know, when you're 20 ish, you know, 20 I turned 21 when I was over there. It's a real transition time in your life. I mean, it's, it was really transformative. And for all of us, small of my classmates, I mean, we're all kind of grew up. We all became a bit, you know, European. We stopped going to football games when we went back on campus, because it wasn't cool anymore, but, but we, we definitely were transformed by it personally, but, it really opened our eyes to what architecture was capable of, and that once you've, once you've kind of seen that, you know, once you've been to the top of the mountain, kind of thing, it can really get under your skin. And, you know, kind of sponsor whatever you do for the rest of your life. At least for me, it   Michael Hingson ** 19:35 did, yeah, yeah. So what did you do after you graduated?   David Mayernik ** 19:40 Well, I graduated, and I think also a lot of our students lately have had a pretty reasonably good economy over the last couple of decades, that where it's been pretty easy for our students to get a job. I graduated in a recession. I pounded the pavements a lot. I went, you know, staying with my parents and. Allentown, went back and forth to New York, knocking on doors. There was actually a woman who worked at the unemployment agency in New York who specialized in architects, and she would arrange interviews with firms. And, you know, I just got something for the summer, essentially, and then finally, got a job in the in the fall for somebody I wanted to work with in Philadelphia and and that guy left that firm after about three months because he won a competition. He didn't take me with him, and I was in a firm that really didn't want to be with. I wanted to be with him, not with the firm. And so I then I picked up stakes and moved to Chicago and worked for an architect who'd been a visiting professor at Notre Dame eventually became dean at Yale Tom Beebe, and it was a great learning experience, but it was also a lot of hours at low pay. You know, I don't think, I don't think my students, I can't even tell my students what I used to make an hour as a young architect. I don't think they would understand, yeah, I mean, I really don't, but it was, it was a it was the sense that you were, that your early years was a kind of, I mean an apprenticeship. I mean almost an unpaid apprenticeship at some level. I mean, I needed to make enough money to pay the rent and eat, but that was about it. And and so I did that, but I bounced around a lot, you know, and a lot of kids, I think a lot of our students, when they graduate, they think that getting a job is like a marriage, like they're going to be in it forever. And, you know, I, for better or worse, I moved around a lot. I mean, I moved every time I hit what I felt was like a point of diminishing returns. When I felt like I was putting more in and getting less out, I thought it was time to go and try something else. And I don't know that's always good advice. I mean, it can make you look flighty or unstable, but I kind of always followed my my instinct on that.   Michael Hingson ** 21:57 I don't remember how old I was. You're talking about wages. But I remember it was a Sunday, and my parents were reading the newspaper, and they got into a discussion just about the fact that the minimum wage had just been changed to be $1.50 an hour. I had no concept of all of that. But of course, now looking back on it, $1.50 an hour, and looking at it now, it's pretty amazing. And in a sense, $1.50 an hour, and now we're talking about $15 and $16 an hour, and I had to be, I'm sure, under 10. So it was sometime between 1958 and 1960 or so, or maybe 61 I don't remember exactly when, but in a sense, looking at it now, I'm not sure that the minimum wage has gone up all that much. Yes, 10 times what it was. But so many other things are a whole lot more than 10 times what they were back then,   David Mayernik ** 23:01 absolutely, yeah. I mean, I mean, in some ways also, my father was a, my father was a factory worker. I mean, he tried to have lots of other businesses of his own. He, you're, you're obviously a great salesman. And the one skill my father didn't have is he could, he could, like, for example, he had a home building business. He could build a great house. He just couldn't sell it. And so, you know, I think he was a factory worker, but he was able to send my sister and I to private college simultaneously on a factory worker salary, you know, with, with, I mean, I had some student loan debt, but not a lot. And that's, that's not possible today.   Michael Hingson ** 23:42 No, he saved and put money aside so that you could do that, yeah, and,   David Mayernik ** 23:47 and he made enough. I mean, essentially, the cost of college was not that much. And he was, you know, right, yeah. And he had a union job. It was, you know, reasonably well paid. I mean, we lived in a, you know, a nice middle class neighborhood, and, you know, we, we had a nice life growing up, and he was able to again, send us to college. And I that's just not possible for without tremendous amount of debt. It's not possible today. So the whole scale of our economy shifted tremendously. What I was making when I was a young architect. I mean, it was not a lot then, but I survived. Fact, actually saved money in Chicago for a two month summer in Europe after that. So, you know, essentially, the cost of living was, it didn't take a lot to cover your your expenses, right? The advantage of that for me was that it allowed me time when I had free time when I after that experience, and I traveled to Europe, I came back and I worked in Philadelphia for the same guy who had left the old firm in Philadelphia and went off on his own, started his own business. I worked for him for about nine months, but I had time in the evenings, because I didn't have to work 80 hours a week to do other things. I taught myself how to paint. And do things that I was interested in, and I could experiment and try things and and, you know, because surviving wasn't all that hard. I mean, it was easy to pay your bills and, and I think that's one of the things that's, I think, become more onerous, is that, I think for a lot of young people just kind of dealing with both college debt and then, you know, essentially the cost of living. They don't have a lot of time or energy to do anything else. And you know, for me, that was, I had the luxury of having time and energy to invest in my own growth, let's say as a more career, as a creative person. And you know, I also, I also tell students that, you know, there are a lot of hours in the day, you know, and whatever you're doing in an office. There are a lot of hours after that, you could be doing something else, and that I used every one of those hours as best I could.   Michael Hingson ** 25:50 Yeah. Well, you know, we're all born with challenges in life. What kind of challenges, real challenges did you have growing up as you look back on it?   David Mayernik ** 26:01 Yeah, my, I mean, my, I mean, there was some, there was some, a few rocky times when my father was trying to have his own business. And, you know, I'm not saying we grew up. We didn't struggle, but it wasn't, you know, always smooth sailing. But I think one of the things I learned about being an architect, which I didn't realize, and only kind of has been brought home to me later. Right now, I have somebody who's told me not that long ago, you know? You know, the problem is, architecture is a gentleman's profession. You know that IT architecture, historically was practiced by people from a social class, who knew, essentially, they grew up with the people who would become their clients, right? And so the way a lot of architects built their practice was essentially on, you know, family connections and personal connections, college connections. And I didn't have that advantage. So, you know, I've, I've essentially had to define myself or establish myself based on what I'm capable of doing. And you know, it's not always a level playing field. The great breakthrough for me, in a lot of ways, was that one of the one of my classmates and I entered a big international competition when we were essentially 25 years old. I think we entered. I turned 26 and it was an open competition. So, you know, no professional requirements. You know, virtually no entry fee to redesign the state capitol grounds of Minnesota, and it was international, and we, and we actually were selected as one of the top five teams that were allowed to proceed onto the second phase, and at which point we we weren't licensed architects. We didn't have a lot of professional sense or business sense, so we had to associate with a local firm in Minnesota and and we competed for the final phase. We did most of the work. The firm supported us, but they gave us basically professional credibility and and we won. We were the architects of the state capitol grounds in Minnesota, 26 years old, and that's because the that system of competition was basically a level playing field. It was, you know, ostensibly anonymous, at least the first phase, and it was just basically who had the best design. And you know, a lot of the way architecture gets architects get chosen. The way architecture gets distributed is connections, reputation, things like that, but, but you know, when you find those avenues where it's kind of a level playing field and you get to show your stuff. It doesn't matter where you grew up or who you are, it just matters how good you are, yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 28:47 well, and do you think it's still that way today?   David Mayernik ** 28:51 There are a lot fewer open professional competitions. They're just a lot fewer of them. It was the and, you know, maybe they learned a lesson. I mean, maybe people like me shouldn't have been winning competitions. I mean, at some level, we were out of our league. I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say, from a design point of view. I mean, we were very capable of doing what the project involved, but we were not ready for the hardball of collaborating with a big firm and and the and the politics of what we were doing and the business side of it, we got kind of crushed, and, and, and eventually they never had the money to build the project, so the project just kind of evaporated. And the guy I used to work with in Philadelphia told me, after I won the competition, he said, you know, because he won a competition. He said, You know, the second project is the hardest one to get, you know, because you might get lucky one time and you win a competition, the question is, how do you build practice out of that?   Michael Hingson ** 29:52 Yeah, and it's a good point, yeah, yeah.   David Mayernik ** 29:55 I mean, developing some kind of continuity is hard. I mean, I. Have a longer, more discontinuous practice after that, but it's that's the hard part.   Michael Hingson ** 30:07 Well, you know, I mentioned challenges before, and we all, we all face challenges and so on. How do we overcome the challenges, our inherited challenges, or the perceived challenges that we have? How do we overcome those and work to move forward, to be our best? Because that's clearly kind of what you're talking about here.   David Mayernik ** 30:26 Yeah, well, the true I mean, so the challenges that we're born with, and I think there are also some challenges that, you know, we impose on ourselves, right? I mean, in this, in the best sense, I mean the ways that we challenge ourselves. And for me, I'm a bit of an idealist, and you know, the world doesn't look kindly on idealist. If you know, from a business, professional point of view, idealism is often, I'm not saying it's frowned upon, but it's hardly encouraged and rewarded and but I think that for me, I've learned over time that it's you really just beating your head against the wall is not the best. A little bit of navigating your way around problems rather than trying to run through them or knock them over is a smarter strategy. And so you have to be a little nimble. You have to be a little creative about how you find work and essentially, how you keep yourself afloat and and if you're if you're open to possibilities, and if you take some risks, you can, you can actually navigate yourself through a series of obstacles and actually have a rich, interesting life, but it may not follow the path that you thought you were starting out on at the beginning. And that's the, I think that's the skill that not everybody has.   Michael Hingson ** 31:43 The other part about that, though, is that all too often, we don't really give thought to what we're going to do, or we we maybe even get nudges about what we ought to do, but we discount them because we think, Oh, that's just not the way to do it. Rather than stepping back and really analyzing what we're seeing, what we're hearing. And I, for 1am, a firm believer in the fact that our inner self, our inner voice, will guide us if we give it the opportunity to do that.   David Mayernik ** 32:15 You know, I absolutely agree. I think a lot of people, you know, I was, I for, I have, for better or worse, I've always had a good sense of what I wanted to do with my life, even if architecture was a you know, conscious way to do something that was not exactly maybe what I dreamed of doing, it was a, you know, as a more rational choice. But, but I've, but I've basically followed my heart, more or less, and I've done the things that I always believed in it was true too. And when I meet people, especially when I have students who don't really know what they love, or, you know, really can't tell you what they really are passionate about, but my sense of it is, this is just my I might be completely wrong, but my sense of it is, they either can't admit it to themselves, or they can't admit it to somebody else that they that, either, in the first case, they're not prepared to listen to themselves and actually really deep, dig deep and think about what really matters to them, or if they do know what that is, they're embarrassed to admit it, or they're embarrassed to tell somebody else. I think most of us have some drive, or some internal, you know, impetus towards something and, and you're right. I mean, learning to listen to that is, is a, I mean, it's rewarding. I mean, essentially, you become yourself. You become more, or the best possible self you can be, I guess.   Michael Hingson ** 33:42 Yeah, I agree. And I guess that that kind of answers the question I was was thinking of, and that is, basically, as you're doing things in life, should you follow your dreams?   David Mayernik ** 33:53 You know, there's a lot, a lot of people are writing these days, if you read, if you're just, you know, on the, on the internet, reading the, you know, advice that you get on, you know, the new services, from the BBC to, you know, any other form of information that's out there, there's a lot of back and forth by between the follow your dreams camp and the don't follow your dreams camp. And the argument of the don't follow your dreams camp seems to be that it's going to be hard and you'll be frustrated, and you know, and that's true, but it doesn't mean you're going to fail, and I don't think anybody should expect life to be easy. So I think if you understand going in, and maybe that's part of my Eastern European heritage that you basically expect life to be hard, not, not that it has to be unpleasant, but you know it's going to be a struggle, but, but if you are true to yourself or follow your dreams, you're probably not going to wake up in the middle of your life with a crisis. You know, because I think a lot of times when you suppress your dreams, they. Stay suppressed forever, and the frustrations come out later, and it's better to just take them on board and try to again, navigate your way through life with those aspirations that you have, that you know are really they're built in like you were saying. They're kind of hardwired to be that person, and it's best to listen to that person.   Michael Hingson ** 35:20 There's nothing wrong with having real convictions, and I think it's important to to step back and make sure that you're really hearing what your convictions are and feeling what your convictions are. But that is what people should do, because otherwise, you're just not going to be happy.   David Mayernik ** 35:36 You're not and you're you're at one level, allowing yourself to manipulate yourself. I mean, essentially, you're, you know, kind of essentially deterring yourself from being who you are. You're probably also susceptible to other people doing that to you, that if you don't have enough sense of yourself, a lot of other people can manipulate you, push you around. And, you know, the thing about having a good sense of yourself is you also know how to stand up for yourself, or at least you know that you're a self that's worth standing up for. And that's you know. That's that, that thing that you know the kids learn in the school yard when you confront the bully, you know you have to, you know, the parents always tell you, you know, stand up to the bully. And at some level, life is going to bully you unless you really are prepared to stand up for something.   Michael Hingson ** 36:25 Yeah, and there's so many examples of that I know as a as a blind person, I've been involved in taking on some pretty major tasks in life. For example, it used to be that anyone with a so called Disability couldn't buy life insurance, and eventually, we took on the insurance industry and won to get the laws passed in every state that now mandate that you can't discriminate against people with disabilities in providing life insurance unless you really have evidence To prove that it's appropriate to do that, and since the laws were passed, there hasn't been any evidence. And the reason is, of course, there never has been evidence, and insurance companies kept claiming they had it, but then when they were challenged to produce it, they couldn't. But the reality is that you can take on major tasks and major challenges and win as long as you really understand that that is what your life is steering you to do,   David Mayernik ** 37:27 yeah, like you said, and also too, having a sense of your your self worth beyond whatever that disability is, that you know what you're capable of, apart from that, you know that's all about what you can't do, but all the things that you can do are the things that should allow you to do anything. And, yeah, I think we're, I think it's a lot of times people will try to define you by what you can't do, you   Michael Hingson ** 37:51 know? And the reality is that those are traditionally misconceptions and inaccurate anyway, as I point out to people, disability does not mean a lack of ability. Although a lot of people say, Well, of course it, it is because it starts with dis. And my response is, what do you then? How do you deal with the words disciple, discern and discrete? For example, you know the fact of the matter is, we all have a disability. Most of you are light dependent. You don't do well with out light in your life, and that's okay. We love you anyway, even though you you have to have light but. But the reality is, in a sense, that's as much a disability is not being light dependent or being light independent. The difference is that light on demand has caused so much focus that it's real easy to get, but it doesn't change the fact that your disability is covered up, but it's still there.   David Mayernik ** 38:47 No, it's true. I mean, I think actually, yeah, knowing. I mean, you're, we're talking about knowing who you are, and, you know, listening to your inner voice and even listening to your aspirations. But also, I mean being pretty honest about where your liabilities are, like what the things are that you struggle with and just recognizing them, and not not to dwell on them, but to just recognize how they may be getting in the way and how you can work around them. You know, one of the things I tell students is that it's really important to be self critical, but, but it's, it's not good to be self deprecating, you know. And I think being self critical if you're going to be a self taught person like I am, in a lot of ways, you you have to be aware of where you're not getting it right. Because I think the problem is sometimes you can satisfy yourself too easily. You're too happy with your own progress. You know, the advantage of having somebody outside teaching you is they're going to tell you when you're doing it wrong, and most people are kind of loath do that for themselves, but, but the other end of that is the people who are so self deprecating, constantly putting themselves down, that they never are able to move beyond it, because they're only aware of what they can't do. And you know, I think balancing self criticism with a sense of your self worth is, you know, one of the great balancing acts of life. You.   Michael Hingson ** 40:00 Well, that's why I've adopted the concept of I'm my own best teacher, because rather than being critical and approaching anything in a negative way, if I realize that I'm going to be my own best teacher, and people will tell me things, I can look at them, and I should look at them, analyze them, step back, internalize them or not, but use that information to grow, then that's what I really should do, and I would much prefer the positive approach of I'm my own best teacher over anything else.   David Mayernik ** 40:31 Yeah, well, I mean, the last kind of teachers, and I, you know, a lot of my students have thought of me as a critical teacher. One of the things I think my students have misunderstood about that is, it's not that I have a low opinion of them. It's actually that I have such a high opinion that I always think they're capable of doing better. Yeah, I think one of the problems in our educational system now is that it's so it's so ratifying and validating. There's so we're so low to criticize and so and the students are so fragile with criticism that they they don't take the criticism well, yeah, we don't give it and, and you without some degree of what you're not quite getting right, you really don't know what you're capable of, right? And, and I think you know. But being but again, being critical is not that's not where you start. I think you start from the aspiration and the hope and the, you know, the actually, the joy of doing something. And then, you know, you take a step back and maybe take a little you know, artists historically had various techniques for judging their own work. Titian used to take one of his paintings and turn it away, turn it facing the wall so that he couldn't see it, and he would come back to it a month later. And, you know, because when he first painted, he thought it was the greatest thing ever painted, he would come back to it a month later and think, you know, I could have done some of those parts better, and you would work on it and fix it. And so, you know, the self criticism comes from this capacity to distance yourself from yourself, look at yourself almost as as hard as it is from the outside, yeah, try to see yourself as other people see you. Because I think in your own mind, you can kind of become completely self referential. And you know, that's that. These are all life skills. You know, I had to say this to somebody recently, but, you know, I think the thing you should get out of your education is learning how to learn and like you're talking about, essentially, how do you approach something new or challenging or different? Is has to do with essentially, how do you how do you know? Do you know how to grow and learn on your own?   Michael Hingson ** 42:44 Yeah, exactly, well, being an architect and so on. How did you end up going off and becoming a professor and and teaching? Yeah, a   David Mayernik ** 42:52 lot of architects do it. I have to say. I mean, there's always a lot of the people who are the kind of heroes when I was a student, were practicing architects who also taught and and they had a kind of, let's say, intellectual approach to what they did. They were conceptual. It wasn't just the mundane aspects of getting a building built, but they had some sense of where they fit, with respect to the culture, with respect to history and issues outside of architecture, the extent to which they were tied into other aspects of culture. And so I always had the idea that, you know, to be a full, you know, a fully, you know, engaged architect. You should have an academic, intellectual side to your life. And teaching would be an opportunity to do that. The only thing is, I didn't feel like I knew enough until I was older, in my 40s, to feel like I actually knew enough about what I was doing to be able to teach somebody else. A lot of architects get into teaching early, I think, before they're actually fully formed to have their own identities. And I think it's been good for me that I waited a while until I had a sense of myself before I felt like I could teach somebody else. And so there was, there was that, I mean, the other side of it, and it's not to say that it was just a day job, but one of the things I decided from the point of your practice is a lot of architects have to do a lot of work that they're not proud of to keep the lights on and keep the business operating. And I have decided for myself, I only really want to do work that I'm proud of, and in order to do that, because clients that you can work for and be you know feel proud of, are rather rare, and so I balanced teaching and practice, because teaching allowed me to ostensibly, theoretically be involved with the life of the mind and only work for people and projects that interested me and that I thought could offer me the chance to do something good and interesting and important. And so one I had the sense that I had something to convey I learned. Enough that I felt like I could teach somebody else. But it was also, for me, an opportunity to have a kind of a balanced life in which practice was compensated. You know that a lot of practice, even interesting practice, has a banal, you know, mundane side. And I like being intellectually stimulated, so I wanted that. Not everybody wants   Michael Hingson ** 45:24 that. Yeah, so you think that the teaching brings you that, or it put you in a position where you needed to deal with that?   David Mayernik ** 45:32 You know, having just retired, I wish there had been more of that. I really had this romantic idea that academics, being involved in academics, would be an opportunity to live in a world of ideas. You know? I mean, because when I was a student, I have to say we, after we came back from Rome, I got at least half of my education for my classmates, because we were deeply engaged. We debated stuff. We, you know, we we challenged each other. We were competitive in a healthy way and and I remember academics my the best part of my academic formation is being immensely intellectually rich. In fact, I really missed it. For about the first five years I was out of college, I really missed the intellectual side of architecture, and I thought going back as a teacher, I would reconnect with that, and I realized not necessarily, there's a lot about academics that's just as mundane and bureaucratic as practice can be so if you really want to have a satisfying intellectual life, unfortunately, you can't look to any institution or other people for it. You got to find it on your own.   46:51 Paperwork, paperwork,   David Mayernik ** 46:55 committee meetings, just stuff. Yeah, yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 47:00 yeah. Yeah, which never, which never. Well, I won't say they never help, but there's probably, there's probably some valuable stuff that you can get, even from writing and doing, doing paperwork, because it helps you learn to write. I suppose you can look at it that way.   David Mayernik ** 47:16 No, it's true. I mean, you're, you're definitely a glass half full guy. Michael, I appreciate that's good. No. I mean, I, obviously, I always try to make get the most out of whatever experience I have. But, I mean, in the sense that there wasn't as much intellectual discourse, yeah, you know, as my I would have liked, yeah, and I, you know, in the practice or in the more academic side of architecture. Several years ago, somebody said we were in a post critical phase like that. Ideas weren't really what was driving architecture. It was going to be driven by issues of sustainability, issues of social structure, you know, essentially how people live together, issues that have to do with things that weren't really about, let's call it design in the esthetic sense, and all that stuff is super important. And I'm super interested in, you know, the social impact of my architecture, the sustainable impact of it, but the the kind of intellectual society side of the design part of it, we're in a weird phase where it that's just not in my world, we just it's not talked about a lot. You know,   Michael Hingson ** 48:33 it's not what it what it used to be. Something tells me you may be retired, but you're not going to stop searching for intellectual and various kinds of stimulation to help keep your mind active.   David Mayernik ** 48:47 Oh, gosh, no, no. I mean, effectively. I mean, I just stopped one particular job. I describe it now as quitting with benefits. That's my idea of what I retired from. I retired from a particular position in a particular place, but, but I haven't stopped. I mean, I'm certainly going to keep working. I have a very interesting design project in Switzerland. I've been working on for almost 29 years, and it's got a number of years left in it. I paint, I write, I give lectures, I you know, and you obviously have a rich life. You know, not being at a job. Doesn't mean that the that your engagement with the world and with ideas goes away. I mean, unless you wanted to, my wife's my wife had three great uncles who were great jazz musicians. I mean, some quite well known jazz musicians. And one of them was asked, you know, was he ever going to retire? And he said, retire to what? Because, you know, he was a musician. I mean, you can't stop being a musician, you know, you know, if, some level, if you're really engaged with what you do, you You never stop, really,   Michael Hingson ** 49:51 if you enjoy it, why would you? No, I   David Mayernik ** 49:54 mean, the best thing is that your work is your fun. I mean, you know, talking about, we talked about it. I. You that You know you're kind of defined by your work, but if your work is really what you enjoy, I mean, actually it's fulfilling, rich, enriching, interesting, you don't want to stop doing that. I mean, essentially, you want to do it as long as you possibly can. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 50:13 and it's and it's really important to do that. And I think, in reality, when you retire from a job, you're not really retiring from a job. You're retiring, as you said, from one particular thing. But the job isn't a negative thing at all. It is what you like to do.   David Mayernik ** 50:31 Yeah. I mean, there's, yeah, there's the things that you do that. I mean, I guess the job is the, if you like, the thing that is the, you know, the institution or the entity that you know, pays your bills and that kind of stuff, but the career or the thing that you're invested in that had the way you define yourself is you never stop being that person, that person. And in some ways, you know, what I'm looking forward to is a richer opportunity to pursue my own avenue of inquiry, and, you know, do things on my own terms, without some of the obligations I had   Michael Hingson ** 51:03 as a teacher, and where's your wife and all that.   David Mayernik ** 51:06 So she's with me here in LUCA, and she's she's had a super interesting life, because she she she studied. We, when we were together in New York, she was getting a degree in art history, Medieval and Renaissance studies in art history at NYU, and then she decided she really wanted to be a chef, and she went to cooking school in New York and then worked in a variety of food businesses in New York, and then got into food writing and well, food styling for magazines, making food for photographs, and then eventually writing. And through a strange series of connections and experiences. She got an opportunity to cook at an Art Foundation in the south of France, and I was in New York, and I was freelancing. I was I'd quit a job I'd been at for five years, and I was freelancing around, doing some of my own stuff and working with other architects, and I had work I could take with me. And you know, it was there was there was, we didn't really have the internet so much, but we had FedEx. And I thought I could do drawings in the south of France. I could do them in Brooklyn. So, so I went to the south of France, and it just happens to be that my current client from Switzerland was there at that place at that time, scouting it out for some other purpose. And she said, I hear you're architect. I said, Yeah. And I said, Well, you know, she said, I like, you know, classical architecture, and I like, you know, traditional villages, and we have a campus, and we need a master plan architect. And I was doing a master plan back in Delaware at that time, and my wife's you know, career trajectory actually enabled me to meet a client who's basically given me an opportunity to build, you know, really interesting stuff, both in Switzerland and in England for the last, you know, again, almost 29 years. And so my wife's been a partner in this, and she's been, you know, because she's pursued her own parallel interest. But, but our interests overlap enough and we share enough that we our interests are kind of mutually reinforcing. It's, it's been like an ongoing conversation between us, which has been alive and rich and wonderful.   Michael Hingson ** 53:08 You know, with everything going on in architecture and in the world in general, we see more and more technology in various arenas and so on. How do you think that the whole concept of CAD has made a difference, or in any way affected architecture. And where do you think CAD systems really fit into all of that?   David Mayernik ** 53:33 Well, so I mean this, you know, CAD came along. I mean, it already was, even when I was early in my apprenticeship, yeah, I was in Chicago, and there was a big for som in Chicago, had one of the first, you know, big computers that was doing some drawing work for them. And one of my, a friend of mine, you know, went to spend some time and figure out what they were capable of. And, but, you know, never really came into my world until kind of the late night, mid, mid to late 90s and, and, and I kind of resisted it, because I, the reason I got into architecture is because I like to draw by hand, and CAD just seemed to be, you know, the last thing I'd want to do. But at the same time, you, some of you, can't avoid it. I mean, it has sort of taken over the profession that, essentially, you either have people doing it for you, or you have to do it yourself, and and so the interesting thing is, I guess that I, at some point with Switzerland, I had to, basically, I had people helping me and doing drawing for me, but I eventually taught myself. And I actually, I jumped over CAD and I went to a 3d software called ArchiCAD, which is a parametric design thing where you're essentially building a 3d model. Because I thought, Look, if I'm going to do drawing on the computer, I want the computer to do something more than just make lines, because I can make lines on my own. But so the computer now was able to help me build a 3d model understand buildings in space and construction. And so I've taught myself to be reasonably, you know, dangerous with ArchiCAD and but the. Same time, the creative side of it, I still, I still think, and a lot of people think, is still tied to the intuitive hand drawing aspect and and so a lot of schools that gave up on hand drawing have brought it back, at least in the early years of formation of architects only for the the conceptual side of architecture, the the part where you are doodling out your first ideas, because CAD drawing is essentially mechanical and methodical and sort of not really intuitive, whereas the intuitive marking of paper With a pencil is much more directly connected to the mind's capacity to kind of speculate and imagine and daydream a little bit, or wander a little bit your mind wanders, and it actually is time when some things can kind of emerge on the page that you didn't even intend. And so, you know, the other thing about the computer is now on my iPad, I can actually do hand drawing on my iPad, and that's allowed me to travel with it, show it to clients. And so I still obviously do a lot of drawing on paper. I paint by hand, obviously with real paints and real materials. But I also have found also I can do free hand drawing on my iPad. I think the real challenge now is artificial intelligence, which is not really about drawing, it's about somebody else or the machine doing the creative side of it. And that's the big existential crisis that I think the profession is facing right now.   Michael Hingson ** 56:36 Yeah, I think I agree with that. I've always understood that you could do free hand drawing with with CAD systems. And I know that when I couldn't find a job in the mid 1980s I formed a company, and we sold PC based CAD systems to architects and engineers. And you know, a number of them said, well, but when we do designs, we charge by the time that we put into drawing, and we can't do that with a CAD system, because it'll do it in a fraction of the time. And my response always was, you're looking at it all wrong. You don't change how much you charge a customer, but now you're not charging for your time, you're charging for your expertise, and you do the same thing. The architects who got that were pretty successful using CAD systems, and felt that it wasn't really stifling their creativity to use a CAD system to enhance and speed up what they did, because it also allowed them to find more jobs more quickly.   David Mayernik ** 57:35 Yeah, one of the things it did was actually allow smaller firms to compete with bigger firms, because you just didn't need as many bodies to produce a set of drawings to get a project built or to make a presentation. So I mean, it has at one level, and I think it still is a kind of a leveler of, in a way, the scale side of architecture, that a lot of small creative firms can actually compete for big projects and do them successfully. There's also, it's also facilitated collaboration, because of the ability to exchange files and have people in different offices, even around the world, working on the same drawing. So, you know, I'm working in Switzerland. You know, one of the reasons to be on CAD is that I'm, you know, sharing drawings with local architects there engineers, and that you know that that collaborative sharing process is definitely facilitated by the computer.   Michael Hingson ** 58:27 Yeah, information exchange is always valuable, especially if you have a number of people who are committed to the same thing. It really helps. Collaboration is always a good thing,   David Mayernik ** 58:39 yeah? I mean, I think a lot of, I mean, there's always the challenge between the ego side of architecture, you know, creative genius, genius, the Howard Roark Fountainhead, you know, romantic idea. And the reality is that it takes a lot of people to get a building built, and one person really can't do it by themselves. And So collaboration is kind of built into it at the same time, you know, for any kind of coherence, or some any kind of, let's say, anything, that brings a kind of an artistic integrity to a work of architecture, mostly, that's got to come from one person, or at least people with enough shared vision that that there's a kind of coherence to it, you know. And so there still is space for the individual creative person. It's just that it's inevitably a collaborative process to get, you know, it's the it's the 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration. Side architecture is very much that there's a lot of heavy lifting that goes into getting a set of drawings done to get

Bywał mityczny – nie tylko w polskiej wyobraźni, w której przez długi czas to, co zachodnie, oznaczało zwyczajnie to, co lepsze. Nie: także we własnej, w której idea zachodniości wdarła się na postument i nie chciała z niego zejść. Potem, kiedy za sprawą kilku filozofów okazało się, że u jego podstaw stoją ludzkie popędy i przemoc, z cokołu zaczął spadać i spada do dzisiaj, bezustannie. Ale spaść nie może, bo nikt nie wymyślił nic lepszego.Do rozmowy o Zachodzie jako obszarze ideowym zaprosiłem prof. Agatę Bielik-Robson – filozofkę związaną z Polską Akademią Nauk i Uniwersytetem w Nottingham. Rozmawiamy o tym, jak Zachód zaczął być względem siebie podejrzliwy – tu ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem powieści Josepha Conrada – i jak ta podejrzliwość stała się w dyskursie dominująca. Jaka była w tym rola uniwersytetów i rewolucji lat 60. ubiegłego stulecia? To długi odcinek, ale krótko się o tym opowiedzieć nie da.

Chiudiamo i nostri profili Facebook e Instagram: ecco perché questa scelta riguarda anche voiIn questo podcast vi spieghiamo perché, come SoldiExpert SCF, abbiamo preso una decisione drastica ma necessaria: dire basta ai social network Meta.Non si tratta di una provocazione, ma della conclusione inevitabile di una battaglia impari contro un fenomeno sempre più diffuso e pericoloso: la clonazione dei profili a scopo di truffa. Negli ultimi mesi, abbiamo assistito alla creazione sistematica di falsi profili che imitano in tutto e per tutto i nostri account ufficiali.Questi profili vengono utilizzati per ingannare gli utenti, proponendo investimenti fraudolenti, guadagni facili e strumenti pericolosi. Le segnalazioni inviate a Meta hanno ricevuto risposte automatiche e inefficaci, lasciando campo libero a chi sfrutta la nostra immagine per truffare.Non potevamo più far finta di nulla. In questo podcast vi raccontiamo cosa succede davvero dietro le quinte, come abbiamo reagito (denunce comprese), e perché continuare a mantenere attivi i nostri profili su Facebook e Instagram significherebbe mettere a rischio la vostra sicurezza.Per questo abbiamo deciso di chiudere.

"Gli ETF sono pericolosi!" Ti è mai capitato di sentirtelo dire in banca? In questo podcast smontiamo, dati alla mano, uno dei più grandi falsi miti della finanza italiana e ti sveliamo perché la tua banca potrebbe avere interesse a tenerti lontano dagli ETF, strumenti che potrebbero farti risparmiare fino al 90% sui costi.Scopri la verità che si nasconde dietro fondi d'investimento costosi e poco performanti, analizzando un caso pratico che lascia poco spazio a interpretazioni: il confronto diretto tra il noto fondo Mediolanum Challenge International Equity (IE0032082988) e un semplice ETF che investe sullo stesso identico mercato.I risultati sono impressionanti e dimostrano l'impatto devastante dei costi sul tuo capitale: a fronte di un costo annuo del 3,21% per il fondo Mediolanum contro lo 0,20% dell'ETF, il rendimento a 10 anni è stato di +50% per il fondo contro un +150% per l'ETF. Sì, hai letto bene: a parità di mercato, l'ETF ha generato un rendimento triplo. Nel video pubblicato su Youtube mostriamo il grafico, ti spieghiamo perché succede questo e come evitare di cadere in questa trappola. Se vuoi proteggere i tuoi risparmi e investire in modo consapevole, questo video è un punto di partenza fondamentale.

Julian Treasure mówi, że głos to mięsień wpływu.

Hai sottoscritto una polizza vita di ramo I, magari con gestione separata, attirato dalla promessa di un capitale garantito, dall'esenzione della tassa di successione o da una crescita "sicura" del tuo investimento nel tempo?Oppure te l'hanno proposta in banca e ancora non ti è chiaro dove siano investiti i tuoi soldi, quali siano i costi reali e se davvero convenga mantenerla? In questo episodio approfondiamo con dati concreti e casi reali uno degli strumenti finanziari più diffusi tra i risparmiatori italiani… ma anche tra i più fraintesi: le polizze vita a gestione separata.Analizziamo rendimenti effettivi, costi spesso sottovalutati, meccanismi di funzionamento poco noti (come il prezzo storico degli attivi) e soprattutto confrontiamo questi strumenti con alternative più trasparenti ed efficienti, come i BTP o gli ETF obbligazionari.Parliamo anche di tutela patrimoniale, tassazione e rischi reali, senza dimenticare i recenti casi di blocco dei riscatti. Se stai cercando chiarezza e vuoi capire davvero se questo strumento è adatto a te o se magari conviene più a chi te lo ha venduto questo episodio è fatto per te.Puoi visionare il video completo sul nostro canale Youtube

Dekadę temu Europa doświadczyła kryzysu migracyjnego. Krajem, który - biorąc pod uwagę liczbę mieszkańców - przyjął najwięcej migrantów i uchodźców była Szwecja. Szwedzi ciszą się długą historią otwartości na nowych przybyszów, jednak w ostatnich latach sytuacja zaczyna się zmieniać. Bezkrytyczny entuzjazm zastępowany jest przez krytyczną refleksję. Jak migranci zmienili Szwecję? Co dzięki nim Szwecja zyskała, a co straciła?

US Army pozostawiła w Wietnamie nie tylko ślady po wieloletniej wojnie. W kraju pozostały również owoce wietnamsko-amerykańskich związków, owoce niechciane i zapomniane przez obie strony konfliktu. Po latach niektóre z tych dzieci, dziś już dojrzali ludzie, próbują odnaleźć swoich amerykańskich ojców po drugiej stronie globu. Jedną z takich historii śledzi film dokumentalny “Dziecko z pyłu” w reżyserii Weroniki Mliczewskiej. W odcinku wykorzystany został fragment ścieżki dźwiękowej filmu “Dziecko z pyłu”: “Introspective”, komp.

Viitorul vine peste noi cu tehnologii din ce în ce mai complexe. Nu e doar un asalt, ci un tsunami tehnologic care ne solicită creierele și ne accelerează viețile. Dar marea artă într-o lume din ce în ce mai complexă este să simplifici. Sculptorul Constantin Brâncuși a rezumat cel mai bine treaba asta. El zice așa: « Simplitatea este o complexitate rezolvată ». Sună al naibii de frumos și este pe cât de adevărat, pe atât de profund. Ca să simplifici tehnologiile inventate de ingineri, ai nevoie tot de ingineri care să facă drumul invers, către consumator, pentru a-i oferi o experiență cât mai simplificată în orice tehnologie.Asta face Showpad, o firmă care se focusează pe procesele de vânzări și de marketing.

Cybersecurity in Italy: ITASEC 2025 Recap & Future Outlook with Professor Alessandro ArmandoCybersecurity is no longer a niche topic—it's a fundamental pillar of modern society. And in Italy, ITASEC has become the go-to event for bringing together researchers, government officials, and industry leaders to tackle the biggest security challenges of our time.Although we weren't there in person this year, we're diving into everything that happened at ITASEC 2025 in this special On Location recap with Professor Alessandro Armando. As Deputy Director of the Cybersecurity National Laboratory at CINI and Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the SERICS Foundation, Alessandro has a front-row seat to the evolution of cybersecurity in Italy.This year's event, held in Bologna, showcased the growing maturity of Italy's cybersecurity landscape, featuring keynotes, technical sessions, and even hands-on experiences for the next generation of security professionals. From government regulations like DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) to the challenges of AI security, ITASEC 2025 covered a vast range of topics shaping the future of digital defense.One major theme? Cybersecurity as an investment, not just a cost. Italian companies are increasingly recognizing security as a competitive advantage—something that enhances trust and reputation rather than just a compliance checkbox.We also discuss the critical role of education in cybersecurity, from university initiatives to national competitions that are training the next wave of security experts. With programs like Cyber Challenge.IT, Italy is making significant strides in developing a strong cybersecurity workforce, ensuring that organizations are prepared for the evolving threat landscape.And of course, Alessandro shares a big reveal: ITASEC 2026 is heading to Sardinia! A stunning location for what promises to be another exciting edition of the conference.Join us for this insightful discussion as we reflect on where cybersecurity in Italy is today, where it's headed, and why events like ITASEC matter now more than ever.

Gdy na Wschodnim Wybrzeżu pojawili się europejscy osadnicy, był to zarówno początek nowego państwa, jak i konfliktu z Indianami. Ostatnie ogniska oporu tych ostatnich zgasły pod koniec XIX wieku. Rdzenni mieszkańcy USA zamieszkali w stworzonych dla nich rezerwatach, a w 1922 roku otrzymali możliwość udziału w wyborach. Jako obywatele Stanów Zjednoczonych mają dziś prawa, których pozbawieni są pozostali Amerykanie.

Można przyjąć, że każdego roku na świecie ukazują się 2-3 miliony nowych tytułów książek. Są wśród nich zarówno kryminały czy romanse, jak i wysokiej próby publicystyka i reportaże. Wśród liderów światowego rynku wydawniczego znajdują się USA, Chiny, Wielka Brytania, Indie oraz Niemcy. W tym ostatnim kraju trwa naukowe przedsięwzięcie, w którym książki - niezależnie od gatunku - badane są pod kątem zawartych w nich informacji. To nie dziwi do momentu, gdy zrozumiemy, że chodzi o wskazówki na temat przyszłości.

Ponad 70 milionów ludzi na świecie to osoby niesłyszące. W komunikacji mogą posługiwać się językiem migowym, który znacząco ułatwia zdobycie edukacji, pracy oraz niemal każdą, codzienną czynność i interakcję. Dopiero od niedawna język migowy traktowany jest przez specjalistów jako pełnoprawny język. Mimo tego wiele państw traktuje go po macoszemu, a nauka migania nie jest wspierana przez prawo. To buduje bariery dla osób niesłyszących oraz utrudnia zrozumienie ich świata przez tych, którzy słyszą.

Po upadku apartheidu w 1994 roku Republika Południowej Afryki szukała nowego pomysłu na samą siebie. W realiach demokracji kluczowa były potrzeba zrównania praw dla wszystkich obywateli oraz zapewnienie im lepszych warunków życia. Nelson Mandela mówił wtedy o “tęczowym narodzie” - wizji społeczeństwa, w których wszystkie grupy etniczne czy rasowe współistnieją w harmonii. Dzisiaj, 30 lat po zakończeniu apartheidu, ojczyzna Mandeli jest zupełnie innym krajem. Nie znaczy to, że nie słychać w nim echa przeszłości, o czym pisze Magdalena Osiejewicz w książce “RPA. Bajka dla wybranych”.  Odcinek powstał we współpracy z Wydawnictwem Pascal.

Drzewa, które uznajemy za stare zaczęły rosnąć kilka wieków temu. Niektóre z nich są jeszcze starsze i liczą sobie kilka tysięcy lat, natomiast rekordzistą jest osobnik, którego historia rozpoczęła się około 80 tysięcy lat temu. I wciąż rośnie. Można uznać, że to najstarszy żywy organizm na naszej planecie. Czy jego życiowe doświadczenie może nas czegoś nauczyć? Dlaczego niektórzy filozofowie w drzewach widzą organizmy bardziej zaawansowane niż ludzie? I czy za 50 lat w naszych lasach wciąż będą rosły pospolite dziś sosny czy świerki?

Chris, how are you doing? Christopher Phelps: Very good, Darren. How you doing? Darren A Smith: Hey, I'm good. You've just managed to solve a problem for me where I've got a stream of light from my light and, and Chris was saying, we'll put a post-it note sort of here, and you've just cracked it. It's been a problem for two years. We're off to a great start. Darren A Smith: So in this podcast we are talking about persuasion, influence, those types of soft skills. I'd like to start with a question, which is why should we and the people listening and watching listen to you when we talk about persuasion? Christopher Phelps: Yeah, that's a great question. Um, so just to give you a little bit of my background, uh, I was very fortunate, uh, and unfortunate at the same time. So I'm a dentist, uh, by trade. Uh, grew multiple dental practices in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I live on the East coast. And, um, had made this bold move of selling two of my best offices, uh, to free up my partners to be happier elsewhere, as I like to say, and took over my two struggling practices, the worst ones, so I could get back to being me, right? Get back to doing it my way. And I felt like if, if, if I could put my, all my efforts into those two baskets, so to speak, that I could do more with those two offices than what I was being held back with, with the four, right? Darren A Smith: Okay. Christopher Phelps: And so when I did that and I made that move, I then realised maybe that wasn't so smart, because now you're stuck with not the ones that were making money, the ones that are costing you money. , uh, one of which was a brand new dental practice that was costing me 70,000 a month, us in expenses, but only taking in 35,000 a month in revenue. So you don't have to be a math expert to realise that's not a good check to write each month, right? So, but what it was was a powerful motivator for me to stop, uh, procrastinating on the problems of these practices or ignoring them, right? And, and deal with them. The problem was I just didn't know what the root cause of the problems were. Okay. And so your brain is funny in that sense. That's why it procrastinates, that's why it ignores the problems, because if it doesn't understand the root cause or doesn't feel like you have the capability to solve the problem, that's what it does to quote unquote protect you. Christopher Phelps: Right? Well, at this point, knew I had to do something and dig into it. And I was fortunate that a friend of mine invited me to a business seminar, and the keynote speaker was the, the godfather of influence himself, Dr. Robert c Cini. And, you know, Cini is a professor of emus, of Mark, uh, psychology and marketing at Arizona State University. Uh, he wrote the book, influence of Psychology of Persuasion over 40 years ago, and that's what he's built his name and research around is this whole idea. And after he, he gone on stage and talked about those six principles. There was one of them in particular that was like my aha moment that I was like, yeah, that principle right there, that one is the root cause of all of my problems in my practices. Okay? So I knew he was, was in, he was an authority, right? Christopher Phelps: This guy had the answer. So I sought him out and, uh,

Na przestrzeni ostatnich 200 lat archeologia dokonała odkryć, które zmieniły sposób, w jaki patrzymy na przeszłość świata. Pod powierzchnią ziemi wciąż znajdowane są artefakty minionych dziejów, ale nie tylko tam. Coraz częściej odpowiedzi na stawiane pytania odkrywamy tam, gdzie jeszcze nie szukaliśmy - pod wodą.

Kiedy w roku 1415 Portugalia przejmuje kontrolę nad Ceutą w północnej Afryce, rozpoczyna okres europejskich podbojów kolonialnych. W krótkim czasie Lizbona staje się centrum imperium rozciągniętego na trzech kontynentach. Poddani portugalskiego króla zaznaczają swoją obecność od Brazylii, przez Indie, po Japonię. Dzisiaj po ich potędze nie ma śladu. Jak przeszłość wpływa na współczesną Portugalię?

Gościnią tego odcinka jest Sonia Kisza – historyczka sztuki, popularyzatorka sztuki i autorka bestsellerowej książki “Histeria sztuki”. Punktem wyjścia do tej rozmowy jest aktualizowanie utartych schematów interpretowania sztuki. Rozmawiamy o feministycznych odczytaniach dzieł, kanonie sztuki, który przez lata ustalany był głównie przez mężczyzn oraz o wyzwaniach współczesnego pisania historii sztuki. Zastanawiamy się nad rolą historyków sztuki i muzeów w kształtowaniu dyskursu zgodnego z aktualnym stanem wiedzy i wymieniamy się naszymi doświadczeniami odbierania sztuki. • ​kontakt • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pozaramami/ Strona: https://pozaramami.com/ Newsletter: ⁠http://bitly.pl/YALmV⁠ Mail: ⁠kontakt@pozaramami.com⁠ •​ montaż • Eugeniusz Karlov

Niebo pełne jest samolotów. Tylko w tym roku na europejskim niebie leciały już 10 milionów razy, co oznacza średnią sięgającą niemal 30 tysięcy lotów dziennie. Mimo ogromnej intensywności ruchu w powietrzu, podróżowanie tą drogą jest jedną z najbezpieczniejszych form transportu. Jest to możliwe dzięki postępowi technicznemu, profesjonalizmowi pilotów oraz dzięki ludziom, którzy w swoich wieżach starają się mieć baczenie na całość sytuacji w przestrzeni powietrznej. W tym odcinku poznacie kulisy pracy kontrolerów ruchu lotniczego.

Kiedy w marcu 2011 roku w Japonii zatrzęsła się ziemia, zmieniło się życie setek tysięcy ludzi. Duża część z nich to mieszkańcy miejscowości leżących obok Elektrowni Atomowej Fukushima Dai-Ichi, która zalały ogromne fale tsunami. Ludzi ewakuowano - zostawili za sobą domy, pola i wspomnienia, do których dzisiaj próbują powracać. Na tym tle ujawnia się specyficzne podejście Japończyków do energii nuklearnej oraz do roślin i zwierząt. Jego symbolem są radioaktywne dziki.  (00:00:00) Powitanie (00:01:02) Rozmowa (01:00:51) Podziękowania  ✅ Wspieraj Brzmienie Świata na Patronite:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://patronite.pl/brzmienie-swiata⁠⁠⁠ FB:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/brzmienieswiata⁠⁠⁠ IG:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/brzmienieswiata⁠⁠⁠

Dokładnie 7 lat temu w niecodziennych okolicznościach Katalonia ogłosiła niepodległość i oderwanie się od Hiszpanii. W odpowiedzi rząd w Madrycie zawiesił autonomię tego regionu. Nieco później do więzienia trafili katalońscy politycy, ale premier Katalonii zdołał zbiec. Na ile echa tego narodowego zrywu są wciaż słyszalne w Barcelonie? Czy Katalończycy wciąż chcą własnego kraju? I na ile sytuację w regionie od kilku miesięcy zmienia Zbawiciel Wyspa?

Za jedną z pierwszych map w historii uważa się dzieło Ptolemeusza z Aleksandrii. Datuje się je na II wiek p.n.e. Choć nie przetrwało do dzisiejszych czasów, można je odtworzyć na podstawie współrzędnych podanych przez autora. Mapa Ptolemeusza miała duży wpływ na średniowiecznych i renesansowych kartografów, w tym na Gerarda Merkatora. Zaproponowana przez niego metoda odwzorowania powierzchni Ziemi, choć niedoskonała, wciąż ma się dobrze. Dlaczego tak jest? Na ile współczesne mapy świata pokazują rzeczywistość? I co ma do tego matematyka? Ten odcinek, podobnie jak większość innych odcinków Brzmienia Świata, zawiera dodatkową treść, która jest niespodzianką dla słuchaczy.

Przez blisko 600 lat Habsburgowie kontrolowali państwo, które należało do hegemonów Europy. Austriacka monarchia, później jako monarchia austro-węgierska, w chwili swojej największej chwały sięgała od Tyrolu, przez Bałkany, aż po zachodnią Ukrainę. W 1918 roku kres władzy Habsburgów był też kresem cesarstwa, a Austria stała się jednym z najmniejszych państw kontynentu. Czy Austriacy tęsknią za dawną potęgą? Jak widzą siebie współcześnie? Z czego są dumni i jakie wyzwania czekają ich w przyszłości?

Niemal 90 procent mieszkańców Indonezji to muzułmanie. Rozsiani na kilku tysiącach wysp nie stanowią jednorodnej grupy religijnej. Na ich wiarę ma wpływ historia oraz obecność przedstawicieli innych religii. Tak jest na wyspie Lombok, gdzie obok siebie żyją muzułmanie oraz balijscy hinduiści. W jednej z tamtejszych wsi wspólnie dzielą jedną świątynię, a raz w roku organizują huczny festiwal.

To, jak będą wyglądać miasta przyszłości, nie jest związane wyłącznie z nowymi technologiami, które powstają w zaciszu laboratoriów. Jedną z kluczowych kwestii jest nasza - społeczeństwa - gotowość do przeprowadzenia zmian. Na ile jesteśmy na nie otwarci? Czy akceptujemy stojące przed nami poważne wyzwania klimatyczne? I jakie miejsce w miastach powinna odgrywać natura, która może stać się naszym sprzymierzeńcem?

W 2022 roku 43 procent małżeństw zawartych w Stanach Zjednoczonych skończyło się rozwodem. Drugie i trzecie małżeństwa rozpadają się jeszcze częściej. Tymczasem w Indiach rozwody stanowią zaledwie kilka procent w skali całego kraju. Dlaczego tak jest? Czy ma to związek z instytucją małżeństw aranżowanych?

Podcast Jarka Szubrychta "La La Live" to opowieść o muzyce nie przez pryzmat nowych singli i płyt, ale z perspektywy życia koncertowego i festiwalowego. To rozmowy zza kulis, mniej skupiające się na samych artystach, a bardziej na tych, którzy poza zasięgiem naszego wzroku ciężko pracują na to, by wszystko dobrze brzmiało i wyglądało. Gościnią tego odcinka „La La Live” jest Małgorzata Płysa, dyrektorka wykonawcza Unsound Festival i prezeska Fundacji Tone. Festiwal kiełkował od 2003 roku w piwnicach krakowskich barów, aż rozrósł się poza granice Polski do Adelajdy, Nowego Jorku, Mińska, Tbilisi czy Londynu. Gromadzi entuzjastów szeroko pojmowanej muzyki elektronicznej i eksperymentalnej. Unsound dociera do nich poprzez inne zmysły niż tylko słuch. Łączy muzykę ze sztuką wizualną, na przykład z niemymi filmami Andy'ego Warhola. W 2014 roku Unsound uruchomił projekt Ephemera, łączący doznania dźwiękowe z zapachowymi. - Wydajemy, edukujemy, angażujemy się społecznie. To nie jest tylko festiwal. - mówi Małgorzata Płysa.

Na wolności żyje blisko 5500 tygrysów. Duża część z nich zamieszkuje teren Indii - to tygrysy bengalskie. Większość przebywa w specjalnie wytyczonych parkach narodowych, z których wyróżniają się Sundarbany. Na tym pokrytym lasami namorzynowymi obszarze tygrysy współistnieją tuż obok ludzi. Czasem ich ścieżki krzyżują się, a wtedy jeden z największych drapieżników na planecie udowadnia, jak zbudowana jest naturalna hierarchia. To z kolei wpływa na społeczną tkankę miejsca, w którym trudno związać koniec z końcem.

Na mapie Azji Środkowej Uzbekistan wydaje się białą plamą. Kojarzymy go jedynie z produkcją bawełny oraz Jeziorem Aralskim, które stało się tej bawełny ofiarą. Istniejącym od 1991 roku krajem przez ponad dwie dekady rządził autokratyczny prezydent, jego rodzina oraz zaufana świta. Cenzura i ograniczenie wolności dotykały wszystkich sfer życia, nie wyłączając muzyki. W 2016, gdy nastąpiła zmiana na fotelu prezydenta, kraj mógł nieco odetchnąć. Wciąż jednak w Uzbekistanie dawne ideały ścierają się z liberalnym podejściem do codzienności, a młode pokolenie coraz chętniej zerka na zachód.

Safari rozumiane jako oglądanie dzikich zwierząt w ich naturalnych, afrykańskich siedliskach to koncepcja relatywnie nowa. Jednym z jej promotorów był amerykański prezydent Theodore Roosevelt. Dla wielu turystów z Europy, USA czy Azji Wschodniej safari jest jedynym powodem, by odwiedzić Afrykę. Ich liczba rośnie w szybkim tempie, podobnie jak dochody kilkunastu państw Czarnego Kontynentu, na terenie których żyją zwierzęta takie jak lwy, słonie, żyrafy czy nosorożce. Kiedy przyroda zyskuje, a kiedy traci, gdy na miejsce wkraczają turyści? Jak wyznaczyć granicę etycznej obserwacji przyrodniczej? I dlaczego lwica Elsa może działać na niekorzyść swojego gatunku?
