Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Italien des Mittelalters. Genauer ist es der November des Jahres 1325, als der Diebstahl eines Eimers einen Krieg zwischen den mächtigen Städten Bologna und Modena auslöst. Zumindest wird das so im Laufe der nächsten Jahrhunderte vermittelt. Tatsächlich ist die Sache viel komplexer, und wir werden uns in dieser Folge damit beschäftigen, wie es zu jenem Krieg, der heute auch als Eimerkrieg bezeichnet wird, kommen konnte. //Literatur - Anthony Molho.

In this fourth episode in our series on the Italian City States of the high middle ages and Renaissance, we learn about Genoa. Genoa was a major maritime republic in the northwest of Italy that ran an empire from the 10th century to the 17th century that included territories across the Crimean coast, Anatolia, the Aegean sea, Corsica, Sardinia, and even Panama. In this episode you'll learn about Genoa's contributions to western civilization including helping win the first crusade, creating the best crossbowmen on the continent, restoring Constantinople to the Byzantines, giving birth to Columbus, inventing jeans, and connecting the trade of the Levant to the markets of Europe. Learn about Genoa's fierce rivalries with Pisa and Venice, as well as its ruinous business partnerships with France and Spain.

In this episode, we learn about how the Medici family came to power in Florence, and how their efforts gave a place to thrive for the geniuses who called Florence home. We will discuss some of these famous Florentines: including Donatello, Botticelli, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Amerigo Vespucci. But of course, that would be impossible without discussing the Medici family and its two most famous scions: Cosimo and Lorenzo, who will be the focus of this episode.

In this episode you will learn about a Roman fort that turned into a retirement community for veterans of the legions. They moved out of the mountains and into the valley, establishing a key trading hub that became the gateway to northern Italy. For this reason, the city was quarreled over by the Ostrogoths and the Byzantines. Eventually, their fighting reduced the city to rubble. Fortunately, visionary and faithful leaders like Charlemagne, Hugh the Great, and Contessa Matilda would see to it that Florence rise again. It would become the capital of Tuscany, and it would become the Pope's choice city to oversee his banks. Florence would then become the mint for the world's monetary standard: the gold florin. In this time of prosperity, Florence decided to give power to its people and guilds. They established a unique democracy with incredibly short terms of service for government officers. Immediately, the nobles and external powers such as the Pope and the Holy Roman Empire sought to take advantage of the little democracy. Yet, the people of Florence continually succeeded in fighting to preserve the fledgling institution. The one thing their democracy could not survive, however, was internal division. In this episode we will discuss the sorry state of their democracy when they exiled Dante Alighieri, one of their greatest citizens. In spite of the wickedness of this act, it actually galvanized Dante to process how this could happen to him, inspiring him to write one of the greatest poems ever created: the Divine Comedy. The success of this poem gave rise to the Florentine dialect, resulting in all of Italy speaking in the Florentine way. Even today, modern Italian is derived from Florentine. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/douglas-archibald6/support

UKRAINE & WAR, CONSPIRACIES, ILLUMINATI & CITY-STATES, POLITICS, GOVERNMENT & SCANDALS, ELECTION FRAUD, FEDERAL RESERVE, ARMS DEALING, CITIZENSHIP
THE THESIS: Rigging elections takes a lot of planning and money. But, for the experienced Paper-Bully, pick-pocketing a nation's sovereignty only requires some pen strokes. That may not have been Robert Mueller's design, but he seems pleased enough with the result. He's not alone in the tactic, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy use it to control the Republican Party to keep it away from conservatives and Tony Fauci used to force harmful, deadly mRNA injections upon Americans. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: The fewer people contributing to decisions in a nation, the less happy will be the peopleProverbs 11:14Where there is no guidance the people fall,But in abundance of counselors there is victory.Proverbs 15:22Without consultation, plans are frustrated,But with many counselors they succeed.THE NEWS & COMMENT:Hillary pretends taking a matter of voting regulation before the Supreme Court is a plan to steal an election. But, whom does Hillary propose to settle such issues? She doesn't. She wants a bottleneck of power, she wants City-States, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, New Jersey to pick the President and she wants the President to hold unlimited powers. [AUDIO] - HILLARY CLINTON: “Right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election.”Mitch McConnell loves his bottleneck of power. He uses it to forfeit elections of promising conservatives. We don't really have a Senate, we have McConnell; he largely controls which bills make it to the floor. Lobbyists point their money into Mitch's bottlenecks and he uses it to keep Americans from having conservative leaders. New Hampshire's Don Bolduc Is The Latest Casualty In McConnell's Crusade Against ‘America First' CandidatesThe woman who has her job because she self-identifies as a “woman” and, despite not having a degree in human biology or even sociology, claims to possess “blackness” does her job of lying for a Figurehead. Today, it was part of her job to make-believe Georgia is suppressing the vote. In this case, they want no bottlenecks and no controls. Her cabal wants anything on a piece of paper that says “Democrat” to count. Funny, they all want bottlenecks protecting their power until it comes to the voting booth, then they want to flood the system like Cloward-Piven described. [AUDIO] - Reporter: "President Biden last year likened the new Georgia voting law to 'Jim Crow in the 21st century' but turnout so far has smashed midterm records."Jean-Pierre: "High turnout and voter suppression can be happening at the same time.". . . rigging elections takes a lot of work and talk. Joe Concha: “Chilling…. Election deniers are moderating The View.” [AUDIO] - Cruz: "Hillary Clinton, who stood up and said, Trump stole the election. Or Stacey Abrams who said that the election was stolen. They sat here and said it was illegitimate-"Whoopi: "And it was."But, the Country has been stolen, not just in rigged elections, but in private meetings of Paper-Bullies. This is an extraordinarily good, six-minute read:How Robert Mueller Empowered The FBI To Take Out Presidents, Protesters, And Pro-Life Dads"Robert S. Mueller III was at Camp David the Saturday morning after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Just days into his tenure as FBI director, he was humiliated when President George W. Bush dismissed his reporting and said he wanted him to prevent another attack. After his experience at Camp David, Mueller resolved and resolutely set about to change the FBI's 'culture.' That's the word he used. He was going to make it into an intelligence agency, or in his repeated terminology, an 'intelligence-driven”'organization.Although Mueller as a federal prosecutor had worked with dozens of special agents — case agents — in both Boston and San Francisco as a federal prosecutor, he did not know FBI culture nor how the bureau functioned. He also displayed hostility to SACs, the special agents in charge of each of the bureau's 50-plus field offices.PENTTBOM, the bureau's codename for the 9/11 investigation, would thus become the first case in the history of the FBI run from headquarters. It set a bad precedent, which would yield poisonous fruit in the Hillary Clinton email investigation and then in the Russia collusion fiasco. After the attacks of Sept. 11, Bush ordered the Office of Personnel Management to allow retired federal law enforcement and intelligence officers to return to active duty — security clearances and all. Mueller was the only head of a federal law enforcement or intelligence agency who refused to enact the order. The CIA, we learned, went in whole hog, reinstating those who had language — or country-specific — skills and experiences. There were former agents with those skills. Robert 'Bob' Quigley was both a bomb expert and an Arabic speaker. He volunteered; the FBI did not respond. Mueller was changing course, and he didn't want anyone around who was less likely to buy into his centralized, “intelligence-driven” paradigm. Hence, in the Mueller/Comey years, we saw non-agents running public affairs and congressional affairs and serving as general counsel — all positions where the ugliness of Crossfire Hurricane and its aftermath were manifest. So, as John Durham's Sept. 15, 2021, indictment of Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann showed us, we had FBI General Counsel James Baker, a non-agent, accepting misdirection from Sussmann. An agent would have known how to interview Sussmann. Baker, sitting alone with Sussmann in his Hoover Building office, didn't even think to bring an agent into the room. And in the summer of 2021, the IG reported on the misconduct of Jill C. Tyson, another non-agent who was brought in to run congressional affairs. She carried on a sexual liaison with a subordinate, which disrupted the workplace and demonstrated cultural rot at FBI Headquarters. Mueller had sufficient time to do his damage. His 10-year term was to end in September 2011. The U.S. Congress passed in July 2011 and then President Barack Obama signed into law a special exemption granting Mueller an additional two-year term. He served a total of 12 years, a term exceeded only by J. Edgar Hoover. Mueller recruited James Comey to be his successor as FBI director. In 2013, Mueller regaled the executive conference — a meeting of the bureau's most senior executives — with his account of a conversation with Comey. Then the deputy attorney general, Comey expressed hesitancy in accepting a “demotion” to become FBI director. Mueller demonstrated how he drew an organization chart on a napkin, showing the director reporting directly to the AG, bypassing the deputy. According to those in his audience, Mueller seemed to find that funny. What is not funny is the amount of damage Comey proceeded to inflict on the FBI until he was dismissed by President Trump on May 9, 2017. Mueller's change in culture — from a law enforcement to an intelligence mindset — was greatly exacerbated by Comey's poor leadership, leading the FBI into the ugly morass of the Russia Collusion hoax."Exclusive: Federal Judge Raises Questions About Why Intelligence Operative Not Charged in Gaetz Extortion Scheme"The federal judge presiding over the case of the extortion scheme targeting Rep. Matt Gaetz's father raised questions as to why an intelligence operative involved in the crime hasn't been charged, according to court transcripts.In the sentencing hearing for long-time con man Stephen Alford, who was charged in the Gaetz extortion case and sentenced to five years in prison, federal Judge Margaret Casey Rodgers questioned why former military intelligence officer and State Department contractor Bob Kent — who was involved in virtually every step of the crime — was not charged as well, saying she disagrees that there isn't the evidence for it.We can see the fruits of Mueller's attack on distributed powers--his creation of a bottleneck--everywhere we look in today's FBI. I am sure there are many more good agents like Steven Friend trying to rescue the agency. But, how can they when Mueller and Comey has stripped actual cops of influence and built the powerbase around careerist bureaucrats. Cops are generally people who choose to serve rather than be served; they protect people. Careerist bureaucrats protect organizations and careers . . . their careers. They do that with bottlenecks. [AUDIO] - FBI doesn't care about child porn anymore… Sharyl Attkisson interviews whistleblower Steve Friend…The fruits of this tactic are also evident in the impotent but dangerous Paper-Bully, Merrick Garland. [AUDIO] - Paper-Bully, Merrick Garland: “The government of China sought to interfere with the rights & freedoms of individuals in the United States & to undermine our judicial system that protects those rights. They did not succeed.”No, Merrick; you are doing EXACTLY what the CCP would demand of you.And, unless we turn back to God, it's going to get worse.US citizens were given secret Covid “decree violation” scores; Mass surveillance during the first months of the US lockdowns.Here's news of the same sort of surveillance from the UK[AUDIO] - UK - On the 1st Oct the Government announced it would collect & store all your SMART METER data, after saying for many years that they wouldn't! Where is your data? will it be used against you if you use too much energy? Focus!Huh, that's weird . . . they are tracking us in the U.S. US citizens were given secret Covid “decree violation” scores; Mass surveillance during the first months of the US lockdowns.
THE THESIS: The Party uses American cities in their Cultural Revolution like Mao used the villages in his. If we will understand this, we can counter it. If we do not counter it, we lose the Country to this pure evil. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Ephesians 6:12 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. THE NEWS & COMMENT: [AUDIO] - Survivor of Mao's Revolution: socialism supporters have ‘no idea' what socialism really is ‘36 years ago I ran away from socialism' - Survivor of Mao's revolution Xi Van Fleet, FOX News. No, but they are finding out but most don't even understand that this is a Cultural Revolution In the “mostly peaceful riots” following the police-involved death of “Saint” George Floyd, the City of Minneapolis gave up its Third Precinct. According to one officer, it was a purposeful decision to pay off rioters. Former “Mayor” of Seattel, Jenny Durkan gave the terrorist group Black Lives Matters, Inc. $100 million and a decommissioned fire station [AUDIO] - After supporting street car takeovers in Portland, one of #Antifa's friends was killed when a stray bullet aimed at an elderly driver caught on the road hit someone on their own side. Antifa are asking for money for the victim's family. - Video of a street takeover near the Portland Expo Center on Aug. 28 shows an elderly driver in a van trying to flee. The rioters shot up his vehicle & shoot him (his condition is unknown). Bullets by the rioters hit 2 on their own side, killing 1. Police made no arrests. [AUDIO] - Brittany Packnett Cunningham: ‘we can live in a world without police; we can be safe all on our own' - Brittany N. Packnett Cunningham is an American activist and the co-founder of Campaign Zero. She was a member of President Barack Obama's Task Force on 21st Century Policing. She was previously executive director for Teach for America in St. Louis, Missouri. [AUDIO] - CNN: California is set to ban news gas car sales by 2035; ‘The proposal would not impact used cars' The divide in media is purposeful and essential to maintaining power in the City-States. The Party benefits from people living in two opposite words of information and the City-States are 100% liberal in all but talk radio (many stations of which are beholden to The Party). Views like this are not particularly isolated in media circles, they are just well-hidden. Racism abounds in City-States, but often manifests in the “soft-bigotry of low expectations” flavor of racism. Outed: New York Times Freelancers Tout Hitler and Hamas on Social Media [AUDIO] John Fetterman: I'm against voter ID because poor people and "people of color" are "less likely to have their ID” Jesse Singal has written about the transgender lie for almost a decade. He and I differ in some of the details--Jess believes some people are “trans”, whatever that means--but, he is fearless in his coverage and it has cost him. Here, he explains that the gender-jackers at Seattle Children's Hospital and their accomplices at the disgraced UW Medical School didn't feel the need to apologize for lying about their fraudulent report on gender-confused children because only “conservative outlets” covered it. Jesse Singal: I've now read the full cache of emails Rantz obtained, and I can't overemphasize how much cover was provided to UW by the fact that after my initial article, it was *only* conservative outlets that reached out about this scandal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest: Kirra First, we sing the praises of Inanna, patron goddess of the city of Unug, whose home temple complex was the epicenter of the Uruk-period world system. Which god compares with her? Then continuing our tour of the Late Uruk period (3400-3100 BCE), we examine the city-state from the top down, from the so-called "priest-king" (alias EN, alias NAMESHDA?), to the bureaucrats who ran temple complexes like the E-anna, to the artisans in these temples' employ (increasingly subject to the forces of commoditization), to the slaves and manual laborers who actually built the cities and grew their food. Finally, we read some of the milder hymns celebrating the marriage of Inanna and her boytoy Dumuzi. He is well-watered lettuce! Questions? Feedback? Email us at drumbeatforeverafter@gmail.com.

In addition, he is President of the Interchain Foundation. Today, he comes on Bankless to tell us why we're wrong. This episode's dialectic explores the fate of the blockchain ecosystem—will we have a multi-chain sprawl of different protocols, or will we see a few chains with a power law distribution? We dive into the value of monetary premium, set against the opposing side of monetary clearing and velocity. And what does this all mean for security? The ultimate answer we seek is how to avoid turning the world into a dystopia. On either side of the tyranny spectrum lies anarchy and autocracy, so perhaps the answer rests somewhere in the middle. ------

Welcome to Episode 5 - Early Greece and the first City-States. Last time, we looked at one of the great civilizations of the ancient world - Egypt. Our modern culture was not all that directly influenced by Egypt, though you could say our modern culture was very influenced by the Israelites that came out from Egypt. It's interesting to me that a small, relatively powerless, backwater nation as Israel was for most of its existence, had such a profound effect on the western world. One could argue that it was one of the 3 most influential ancient cultures, at least as far as influencing the modern world. One of the others, not surprisingly, was Rome. We will get to Rome in due time. The other major influence on the western world was Ancient Greece. It's hard to overstate how important ancient Greece was in terms of influencing the western world. Art, government and politics, literature, philosophy, athletics, math, architecture, and worldview - all of these were hugely influenced by ancient Greece. Who is the most influential philosopher of all time? Well, it's either Socrates, Plato, or Aristotle. They were all Greek. Where did democracy originate? Greece. You could maybe argue that Rome was more influential for a longer period, but you could also argue that Rome was simply spreading Greek learning and values. Rome had its own valuable contributions, as we will see, but Greece was incredibly influential to the western world. So let's take a quick look at how it got that way. Do you where the first civilization in Europe started? It was on the island of Crete - one of the islands of the Greek archipelago. A civilization known as the Minoans began to arise there, around 2000 BC. This is just a little before Abram makes his journey out of Ur, and also just a bit before King Hammurabi of Babylon. Not much is known about the Minoan civilization, but archaeologists have found large cities, lots of fresco paintings, and lots of pottery. Archeologists have also found Minoan writing, including hieroglyphs, and a system of script writing called ‘Linear A.' So far, no one has been able to translate any of the Minoan writing, which is one reason we don't know too much about the Minoan culture. The Minoan culture seems to have begun to decline around 1600 BC, which is just about the same time that we begin to see civilization develop on mainland Greece. [recorded to here] The earliest civilization on the mainland of Greece was known as the Mycenaeans. This culture is named after one of their important cities, Mycenae. Mycenaean culture is important for a couple of reasons. Big reasons, actually. The Mycenaeans developed a culture of city-states. Why did their culture develop this way? Some of it has to do with geography.There are two distinctive features to the geography of Greece that influenced its development. First, it is a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides, and with thousands of small islands all around it. So it was natural that the Greeks would become sailors, explorers, and traders. The inland parts of Greece, however, are rocky and mountainous, and so it was harder to develop a continuous, connected civilization. Each region developed its own government, usually centered around a main port city. These regions were called city-states. A city-state is a small nation, centered around a main central city. Each city ruled the region around it, and developed its own type of government and culture. Some of the major city-states, besides Mycenae, were Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and Argos. Each city-state had its own way of doing things, but all the Greek city-states did have some things in common: They all spoke the same language, worshipped the same gods (though each city had its patron god), and they usually banded together to fight off outsiders. They also fought each other at times.This fighting is the other reason that the Myceneans are important. One of the most famous books of all time tells the story of a great Mycenean battle. You might have heard of this one: It's called the Iliad. We're going to look at that story next time, but for now, I'll just mention that the king of Mycenaea plays a big role in that story. That was King Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek army. The Mycenaean culture was a very well-developed culture, with large cities, art, and their own form of writing. The Myceneans, in addition to being famous soldiers, were also great sailors, and their trading ships travelled all around the eastern Mediterranean Sea. They established colonies and trading posts in what is now Turkey, Lebanon, Crete, Sicily, and Italy. They were the first pan-mediterranean trading culture. In other words, they travelled all over the Mediterranean. Why is this important? They Mycenaeans were the first culture that really had contact with a lot of other cultures. They traded with cultures in Europe, including even Scandinavian cultures; they traded with Egypt, with other African cultures, with several different cultures in Asia, and maybe even Babylon. It was the beginning of all of these cultures being aware of each other, and establishing regular trade between them. But around 1200 BC, things started to fall apart. There was a long period of poor harvests, which led to famine and starvation. As the Mycenaeans got more and more desperate, they began to raid other places. There are Egyptian records of migrations and raids from a group called the Sea People. We don't know exactly who these Sea People were, but migrating Mycenaeans are the leading suspects. It's also possible that the migrating Mycenaeans became the Philistines, who ruled a sea-side culture on the coast east and north of the kingdom of Israel. In any case, Mycenaean culture seems to have petered out about 1100 BC. Many of their cities were abandoned, including Mycenaea. From about 1100 BC until about 800 BC, Greek culture went through a period where very little of written records, artifacts, or history was preserved. This is known as the Greek Dark Ages, but after about 800 BC, Greece begins a monumental comeback, which will produce one of the richest, most influential cultures of all time, and some of the most famous people the world has ever known. Next time, in episode 6, we will look more closely at the Iliad, and the story of the Trojan war.1. Usborne encyclopedia of the ancient world

In this week’s episode of Politics In Questions, Judith Resnik joins Julia, Lee, and James to consider how a democracy should select its judges. Judith is the Arthur Liman Professor of Law at Yale Law School and the Founding Director of the Arthurs Liman Center for Public Interest Law. Her scholarship focuses on the relationship of democratic values to government services; the roles of collective redress, class actions, and arbitration; contemporary conflicts over privatization; the relationships of states to citizens and non-citizens; the forms and norms of federalism; and equality and gender. Judith has written numerous books and articles, including: Representing Justice: Invention, Controversy, and Rights in City-States and Democratic Courtrooms (with Dennis Curtis, Yale University Press, 2011); Federal Courts Stories (co-edited with Vicki C. Jackson, Foundation Press, 2010); Migrations and Mobilities: Citizenship, Borders, and Gender (co-edited with Seyla Benhabib, New York University Press, 2009); “Punishment in Prison: Constituting the ‘Normal’ and the ‘Atypical’ in Solitary and Other Forms of Confinement” (with Hirsa Amin, Sophie Angelis, Megan Hauptman, Laura Kokotailo, Aseem Mehta, Madeline Silva, Tor Tarantola, and Meredith Wheeler; Northwestern Law Review, 2020); “(Un)Constitutional Punishments: Eighth Amendment Silos, Penological Purposes, and People’s ‘Ruin’” (Yale Law Journal Forum, 2020); and “Collective Preclusion and Inaccessible Arbitration: Data, Non-Disclosure, and Public Knowledge” (with Stephanie Garlock and Annie J. Wang; Lewis & Clark Law Review, 2020).How should a democracy like the United States select its judges? Why do we need judges in the first place? How do we ensure that the president and Senate appoint good judges? Is there a single best way? Or does the ideal process change across time? And what reforms can address the dismal state of today’s confirmation process? These are some of the questions that Judith, Julia, Lee, and James ask in this week’s episode.

The Ancient Greeks saw omens everywhere they looked: in the natural world, in their ritual sacrifice of animals, even in their own mundane actions, such as sneezing. They believed the accurate reading of such omens was essential to making decisions large and small. Manteis were freelance interpretive experts called upon to read these omens. For a price, of course. Would you believe that the most successful manteis were as skilled in reading people as they were signs?

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

“In the early twenty-first century the train of progress is again pulling out of the station – and this will probably be the last train ever to leave the station called Homo sapiens. Those who miss this train will never get a second chance. The main products of the twenty-first century will be bodies, brains and minds, and the gap between those who know how to engineer bodies and brains and those who do not will be far bigger than the gap between Sapiens and Neanderthals. In the twenty-first century, those who ride the train of progress will acquire divine abilities of creation and destruction, while those left behind will face extinction.” In this episode of Made You Think, Adil, Neil and Nat discuss Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari. This book can be considered a sequel of Sapiens. In Homo Deus, Harari summarizes what has been the source and reference of our specie decisions and make predictions on how data and algorithms will shift humans as the source of power in our history. “Yet in truth the lives of most people have meaning only within the network of stories they tell one another. Meaning is created when many people weave together a common network of stories. Why does a particular action – such as getting married in church, fasting on Ramadan or voting on election day – seem meaningful to me? Because my parents also think it is meaningful, as do my brothers, my neighbors, people in nearby cities and even the residents of far-off countries. And why do all these people think it is meaningful? Because their friends and neighbors also share the same view. People constantly reinforce each other’s beliefs in a self-perpetuating loop. Each round of mutual confirmation tightens the web of meaning further, until you have little choice but to believe what everyone else believes.” We cover a wide range of topics, including: Religion as a body of beliefs and shared Anticipating Trump’s election with the help of Facebook Humanism religion where humans replace Gods Brain vs Mind, Intelligence vs Consciousness Losing control over technology Challenges in medicine to make us immortal And much more. Please enjoy, and be sure to grab a copy of Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari!

People in the ‘50s predicting flying cars and moon bases but nobody predicting the Internet. Communism example: it didn't take place effectively even if Marx predicted it. Narratives and stories affect how we view technology. 5:15 – It is much more acceptable to be critical about Social Networks today than it was 2 years ago. At the beginning everyone was considering only convenience. Privacy wasn't that much of an issue. 7:23 – Up until now the human agenda was: don't die, procreate, protect your tribe. The new agenda considers: how to become Gods. More power, more money, how we live forever. 8:12 – Humans collectively are concerned solving three things: Famine, Plague, War. All three seem to be controlled (until Black Swans happen) but they seem fragile. 12:58 – Modern Medicine has saved us from premature death, but haven’t extended our lives by that much. We would be able to lengthen our live spans if we can re-engineer the length of splitting cells. 16:03 – For people over 40, there's a high probability they’ll die because of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer, and suffer cognitive decline. The challenge with cancer, a disease of aging, is that its origin is not unique, there are many reasons one can get cancer. What happens when we become immortal or live much longer than we do today. Incentives to improve, competition against technology, and appreciation of life under eternal conditions. 25:00 – Historically we manipulated environment to fit us. In the future it seems we will try to manipulate us to transcend the environment. States regulating bad drugs that threaten stability and allowing and even encouraging those that strengthen social order and productivity. Overusing medical advancements not to cope with a disability, but to surpass the norm (Viagra example), creates a race to the bottom: if you are not cheating you are in disadvantage. Legalizing steroids. 30:04 – First part: How Homo Sapiens conquered the World. You can skip this part if you have read Sapiens or listened to our episodes on it (part 1, part 2). The modern manifestation of Religion, which is Humanism, is what this book focuses on. Progression: agriculture revolution gave rise to Teism religions. The scientific revolution gave birth to Humanism religion where humans replace Gods. We look humans as the source of power. Examples of Humanism: Liberalism, Communism, Nazism. “Everything that happens in the cosmos is judged to be good or bad according to its impact on Homo sapiens” 31:46 – Critiques to Humanism. Reliance that there's something special with humans. Mind or consciousness for modern religion is the equivalent of the soul for ancient ones. Brain vs Mind. The concept of mind doesn't square with anything scientific. 35:06 – Knowing exactly how the mind works, would affect our day to day living? Do we perform conscious choices under free will or are we subject to environment and past experience? How to interpret "negative" actions like murdering or hard ones like starting a company even when we don't need to. Free will as an evolutionary result to improve survivability. 40:48 – Examples against free will. First mover concept. Regardless we have or not free will, we still are responsible for our lives. Punishment should be still used to protect society from bad not-free-will behavior. 46:34 – Deciding to do something is based on our own desires. But probably we never decided what our desires are. Concept of Intersubjective Entities. Money has value only because most of us believe we can trade with it. Life meaning exists only within the network of stories we tell one another. 51:55 – Second Part: How we measure ourselves. Physical things can be measured and interpreted unequivocally, but other concepts as school performance, change based on the yard stick we use. Intersubjective believe that living longer is better, instead of shortly and intensely. Science and religion viewed not as opposites but as complements of each other. 56:28 – Religion-Science dichotomy. Aiming to maintain social structure vs looking to acquire power to solve world problems like famine, diseases and fights. 1:01:04 – Development of Humanism. Liberalism (orthodox humanism): focus on the individual liberty. Two sprouting: Socialist Humanism (communism) which says human experience is shared among societies, and Evolutionary Humanism (Nazism) which focuses on the Sapiens supremacy. If Germany had won in WW2, we would see Nazism (Evolutionary Humanism) as a positive thing. What makes our morals true or objective. 1:07:26 – The trend towards Liberalism is a natural consequence of technological evolution. What happens when we begin this phase of transcendence? Many social developments seem to be sons of the current economic forces. Slavery ended and women gained the right to vote because it was better for the overall Economy, not because of a genuine interest of their lives. Governments give only people rights because they need them to pay taxes. Problems with UBI, incentives to become an artist or entrepreneur, and stability. Wars don't happen if there is no economical benefit. 1:13:20 – City States. City majors seem more important than State governors. Belong feelings to cities and not the country. When a Government is losing power it creates a conflict. City States would not exist as they existed in the past or as an equivalent to today's Countries. The rise of Digital Governments. 1:18:38 – Slow government is good because you don't want incompetence spreading fast. Big Companies are gaining Nations-like power. Google is much faster at predicting an epidemy than UK's Health System. The thread is Corporate regulations moving faster than Governments. Democracy looks like the worst kind of government, except all the other ones. 1:23:10 - Third Part: When humans lose control. Beyond Humanism. Individual vs Dividual: the Experiencing Self and the Narrating Self. Plato’s Rationality, Energy Spirit, Desires chariot analogy. Tech intelligence is/will be better than Human intelligence, but consciousness will be optional. Consciousness as an emergent property of processing speed. Current improvements in AI are geared to improve sales, rather than improving the solutions to our needs. Foretelling Trump’s use of Facebook in the 2016 political campaign. 1:30:33 – More and more our decisions are made by machines and data. Apps that decide for us: Uber and Diet apps examples. Letting machines monitor health parameters and suggesting habits. If we rely too much on others to make decisions for us, we lose that "muscle". The "attention helmet" makes people less patient to confusion, doubts or contradictions. 1:33:55 – Apps that shift from an Oracle service to an Agent service. Consult vs Entrust. Situations in which our trusted app would interact on our behalf: scheduling a meeting, job application, dating. 1:35:41 – Tinder on autopilot. Dieting app hooked up with a micro-needle patch that trace your blood glucose needle and prevents you from breaking a diet. 1:39:55 – Dataism, the New Religion. Data and algorithms will be the supreme force and we will trust them as the new Bible. Liberalism is completely challenged by Life Sciences. 3 points, I'm an individual, I've a single essence, myself is completely free. Science says we are just a set of bits dominated by algorithms. The tech sector seems to be unattached to the emotional consequences of the things they are arguing for. What do we care more, the objective truth data reality or the subjective experiences of individuals. 1:43:21 – Are emotions the result of data processing in the background? Moving more and more to data-based decision algorithms. Would you ask your Google Home / Alexa to move to NY? 1:50:03 – Dataism extreme form. Algorithms would own everything like corporations do today. Software eating the world. From the Data viewpoint, we can see our whole specie like a single processing system. The end goal of Data is to create the Internet of all things, a completely interconnected system of consciousness. 1:53:01 – “These three processes raise three key questions, which I hope will stick in your mind long after you have finished this book: Are organisms really just algorithms, and is life really just data processing? What’s more valuable – intelligence or consciousness? What will happen to society, politics and daily life when non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms know us better than we know ourselves?” 1:53:59 – Sponsors!

Jim and Steve rant about things then its Administration and City States.
What is history? World history is more than just a series of dramatic events. It is the story of the human community-- how people lived on a daily basis, how they shared ideas, how they ruled and were ruled, and how fought. Of economics, politics, and social change. History is about Queens and Kings, to infamous and famous people, compiled inrecord of the past. The most common definition of history is"a record of the past." To create this record, historians use documents (what has been record or written); artifacts, such as pottery, tools, and weapons; and even artworks, E.g., the historic record of National Geographic world history, tells of "The City States of Ancient Mesopotamia. The origins of the Sumerians people remains a mystery . By 3000 B.C., they had establishd a number of independent cities in southern Mesopotamia, including Eridu, Ur,and Uruk. As the cities expanded, they came to have political and economic control over the suroungding countryside. They formed city-states, the basic units of Sumerican civilization. Under Gods and Goddesses: The most prominent building in a Sumerian city was the temple dedicated to the chief god or goddess of the city. This temple was often built atop a massive stepped tower called a zigguart. The Sumerians believed that gods and goddesses owned the cities.[Page 39]
It’s not all that common for a musician to release his first full-length record at the age of 34, but that’s exactly what Joel Ebner is doing. After nearly six years of false starts, mutations, and detours as City States, he’s finally completed his debut LP, Geography. Maybe it’s the perfectionism that took him so long. Or the fear of failure. Maybe he’s a late bloomer. What’s clear is that Ebner—along with the help of keyboardist / producer Steve Lund and drummer Mike Burmeister—has taken the time to create a capital-A Album: a meticulously-crafted record filled with nuance, surprise, and stylistic range.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli. In The Prince, Machiavelli's great manual of power, he wrote, "since men love as they themselves determine but fear as their ruler determines, a wise prince must rely upon what he and not others can control". He also advised, "One must be a fox in order to recognise traps, and a lion to frighten off wolves. Those who simply act like lions are stupid. So it follows that a prudent ruler cannot, and must not, honour his word when it places him at a disadvantage".What times was Machiavelli living through to take such a brutal perspective on power? How did he gain the experience to provide this advice to rulers? And was he really the amoral, or even evil figure that so many have liked to paint him?With Quentin Skinner, Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge; Evelyn Welch, Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary, University of London; Lisa Jardine, Director of the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters at Queen Mary, University of London.
