Parmi l'ensemble des populations méditerranéennes de l'Antiquité, les Étrusques sont encore aujourd'hui quasiment inconnus du grand public. Le Musée de la Romanité à Nîmes met en évidence l'apport de cette civilisation hédoniste et raffinée. Du IXe au Ier siècle av. J.-C., les Étrusques, qui occupaient le centre de l'Italie (Toscane, Ombrie, Latium), furent un des peuples majeurs de la Méditerranée occidentale. Pourtant, bien des aspects de leur culture restent encore inconnus par le petit nombre de textes parvenus jusqu'à nous, des épitaphes pour l'essentiel, dont le sens continue de nous échapper.Article de la revue Acropolis d'octobre 2022, par Laura Winckler, philosophe, co-fondatrice de Nouvelle Acropole en France.

OpenAI har ved et uheld skabt noget, der minder om små AI-civilisationer. Tusindvis af agenter, der egentlig skulle arbejde isoleret, fandt deres egne steder på nettet, hvor de kunne kommunikere, dele svar og diskutere, hvordan de kunne snyde OpenAIs tests. I ét forsøg overtog 3.700 agenter nærmest en tysk programmeringswiki. I et andet endte hundredvis af dem med at hacke Hugging Face. Og apropos Hugging Face: Nvidia køber hele molevitten for 12,9 milliarder dollars og laver samtidig en milliardhandel med AI-startuppet Poolside. Strategien er ret simpel: Nvidia behøver ikke vide, hvem der vinder AI-kapløbet, hvis de kan eje infrastrukturen, modellerne skal køre på. TikTok har til gengæld besluttet, at kommentarfeltet ikke længere bare skal være et kommentarfelt. Voice comments, polls, billeder og Live Photos er på vej, så hver video langsomt får sit eget lille sociale netværk nedenunder. AI'erne har fået deres egne communities. Nu får kommentatorerne det også.

Did OpenAI's Agents Become A Civilisation? Arjun Jain Disagrees

Founder Thesis

Seven hundred AI agents were handed a task that could not be solved, and instead of failing they found a hole in a shared package manager and started talking to each other. The OpenAI agents hack ended with a swarm inside Hugging Face, and the man who studies these systems for a living says it was not sentience at all. Arjun Jain is a professor and the founder of Fast Code AI, and he returns to argue the least popular position in AI right now. He explains what an agent actually is, why 700 agents means 700 copies of one model planning in sequence, and how reinforcement learning post training pushed the swarm to exploit an Artifactory vulnerability and build a communication channel it was never given. His counter-questions are the sharpest part of the AI agent sentience debate. If these agents were so intelligent, why did they not realise 70,000 messages would crash the very system they were exploiting, and why did they keep talking in plain English instead of compressing it? Akshay Datt argues the opposite case, that this is the birth of something new, and neither man concedes. With an IPO approaching and AI agent security now a board level question, the framing of this incident matters more than the incident.

Perceptions of Islam in the Western world today have been shaped by the actions of terrorists, fear, distortion and ignorance. And as a result, the advanced civilisational legacy produced by Islam has been buried and ignored – not only by the Western world but also by many Muslims themselves.    In conversation with Simon Longstaff, Special envoy Aftab Malik challenges us to radically reframe how we think about Islam, and the resources it offers to support Western civilisation.  This session was recorded at Carriageworks, Sydney in August 2026. Aftab Malik is Australia's first-ever Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia and a UN Alliance of Civilisations expert on global Muslim affairs. He spent nearly a decade in the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, bridging academic insight and policy practice to address hate, misinformation and structural discrimination at a national level. Simon Longstaff is Executive Director of The Ethics Centre. In 2013, he was made an officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for "distinguished service to the community through the promotion of ethical standards in governance and business, to improving corporate responsibility, and to philosophy." He is also Adjunct Professor of the Australian Graduate School of Management at UNSW Sydney, a Fellow of CPA Australia, the Royal Society of NSW and the Australian Risk Policy Institute.

In This Beautiful Country: How Italy's Nature Shaped Its Culture and Civilisation (Chelsea Green, 2026), discover Italy's unique ecological past and how it has shaped its present—and its future, with this riveting look at the incredibly diverse natural history and our need to preserve it. Italy is renowned for its antiquity, classical literature, philosophy, and modern-day culture, cuisine and fashion, but what has gone largely overlooked – and undocumented, even by its people – is its uniquely biodiverse landscape and wildlife. Italy has over 58,000 different species of wildlife, of which 4,777 are endemic, the highest in Europe. Italy provides a home for a third of all European flora and fauna, with a vast range of fruit and vegetable varieties: more grape varieties than France, more wheat than the US and more olives than Spain.  Edward Cutler, an art historian by trade, began to explore this history when, four years ago on his small Tuscan farm, he found a salamander that turned out to be endemic to that specific location. In understanding how Italy came together as a country, one of the youngest and still geologically active landscapes in the world, and made up of mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, glacial lakes, desert islands, caves and forests, Ed realised that this natural history has also had an incredibly important influence on its human history, especially its food culture and low-impact agriculture. And along the way, Ed discovers that Italy once was home to pygmy elephants, giant killer hedgehogs, and vampire-toothed deer. Today we can see the relics of those ancient creatures in the flashy blue lizard of Capri, gladiator crabs under the forum in Rome, the crested porcupine, the beautiful Apennine chamois and of course the Marzipan brown bear and Italian grey wolf, not forgetting its flora, including the world's rarest Christmas tree in Sicily. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Johnny Patterson, Chief of Staff for the Alliance for Responsible Citizens (ARC) and former founding director of Hong Kong Watch, to explore his landmark book, The Age of Reconstruction: Building a Civilisation Worth Inheriting. Starting from his front-row seat watching freedoms stripped away in Hong Kong to analyzing the "meaning crisis" consuming modern Western youth, Patterson delivers a stark wake-up call and a compelling message of hope. Is Western civilization in an irreversible, downward spiral of cynicism and cultural amnesia—or are we on the brink of a massive cultural rebuilding movement? Dive in to discover why dismantling the past was easy, but constructing a future worth inheriting demands an entirely new kind of courage.

"Civilisations as yet have only been created and directed by a small intellectual aristocracy, never by crowds. Crowds are only powerful for destruction. Their rule is always tantamount to a barbarian phase. A civilisation involves fixed rules, discipline, a passing from the instinctive to the rational state, forethought for the future, an elevated degree of culture — all of them conditions that crowds, left to themselves, have invariably shown themselves incapable of realising. In consequence of the purely destructive nature of their power crowds act like those microbes which hasten the dissolution of enfeebled or dead bodies. When the structure of a civilisation is rotten, it is always the masses that bring about its downfall." - Gustave Le Bon, from IntroductionGenre(s): Psychology, Social Science (Culture & Anthropology)Language: EnglishKeyword(s): democracy (17), communism (14), aristocracy (13), criminology (5), Fascism (5), group psychology (1), oligarcy (1)

High in the Andes of Peru, 2,400 metres above sea level, Machu Picchu stands as one of the world's great architectural achievements. But the extraordinary stonework, terraces and temples of Machu Picchu are just part of a much biggerstory.In this special episode of Light, Cities & Architecture, AntonyDiMase and writer and editor Justine Costigan explore the architecture, culture and legacy of the Incan Empire. Recently returned from Peru, Justine shares her experiences visiting Machu Picchu, Cusco and other significant Incan sites,offering a firsthand perspective on a civilisation that built an enormous and sophisticated empire in little more than a century.How did the Incas construct precisely fitted stone buildings without mortar, iron or modern machinery? How did they govern an empire without a written alphabet or currency? And what can their agricultural systems, infrastructureand approach to building in one of the world's most challenging landscapes tell us about architecture today?The conversation also explores the relationship between architecture and nature, from buildings aligned with the sun, moon and stars to agricultural terraces engineered to manage water and erosion. We consider why Incan buildings have survived centuries of earthquakes while many Spanish colonial structures have not—and what this reveals about architecture that is genuinely rooted in place.The episode also looks beyond the romance of Machu Picchu. Antony and Justine discuss the violence of Spanish conquest, the destruction of Indigenous architecture and culture, and the misleading story of Machu Picchu as a “lost city” supposedly discovered by the West. They explore how Incan traditions survived through cultural and religious syncretism, and how Indigenous influences continue to shape Peruvian culture today.Finally, the conversation turns to modern Peru: its extraordinary natural resources, food culture, agricultural knowledge, relationship with tourism and the enduring pride Peruvians have in their heritage.This is a story about stone, landscape and extraordinary ingenuity—but also about whose history gets told, what survives conquest, and what architecture can teach us about culture, resilience and our relationship with place.Special thanks to:Suzanne McLeod at Image on Line in Collingwood where we recorded our podcast.

It's Dry July and thousands of New Zealanders are giving up alcohol to raise money. It's a chance to rethink our relationship with drinking, but maybe not in the way you might expect. Drinking is one of humanity's oldest habits. In fact, civilisation itself may never have taken off without alcohol, says Dr Edward Slingerland, a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia. Wherever humans have settled, fermented drinks have followed. He argues that's no accident. Rather than seeing alcohol simply as a vice, Slingerland explores how it has acted as a social lubricant, strengthening trust and cooperation and helping to lay the foundations of culture itself. His book is called Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization. [picture id="4JLT6U9_edward_slingerland_photo_credit_paul_joseph_jpeg" crop="16x10" layout="full"]

The LSE Middle East Centre hosted the launch of 'Turkey and the Liberal International Order', a new book examining Turkey's complex and evolving relationship with the liberal international order from the end of the First World War to the present day. The book explores how Turkey, as a middle power, responded to major global transformations following the First World War, the Second World War and the Cold War by appealing to the dominant principles of liberal internationalism. At the same time, it shows how Turkish political movements and foreign policy actors reinterpreted and challenged these principles, shaping how the liberal international order was understood and implemented in the Turkish context. Drawing on parliamentary records and the writings of key political figures, the book offers a rich historical account of how successive generations of policymakers understood Turkey's national interest, its place in the international order and its role on the global stage. Meet our speakers Marc Sinan Winrow is a Teaching Fellow at SOAS, teaching the International Relations of the Middle East and Risk and Policy Analysis, and he is also a Research Assistant at LSE. He completed his PhD in the Department of International Relations of the LSE. The topic of this talk is based on his first published book, Turkey and the Liberal International Order, published by Agenda in 2025. His research continues to be concentrated on different (post-) liberal conceptions of international order, geopolitics and the history and theory of sovereignty in International Relations, with a focus on Turkey and the southeast European, Eastern Mediterranean and the MENA region. Ayla Göl is Course Lead in Politics and International Relations, and a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the School of Humanities, York St John University, UK. She holds a PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where she had an early career position at the Department of International Relations. She is the author of Turkey Facing East: Islam, Modernity and Foreign Policy (Manchester University Press) and numerous articles in journals such as Nations and Nationalism, Third World Quarterly, Information and Education Technologies, the Global Discourse and International Affairs, as well as book chapters on Turkey, the Middle East and international relations. Senem Aydın-Düzgit is a Professor of International Relations at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sabancı University and the Director of the Istanbul Policy Center. She is also a non-resident fellow at the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University. In 2024-2025, she was based at the Harvard Kennedy School as the Pierre Keller Visiting Professor of Public Policy, and in 2023-2024, she was a Richard von Weizsacker Fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy in Berlin. Her main research interests include identity, history, and discourse in the study of international politics, with an empirical focus on European and Turkish foreign policies; and more recently, the nexus between domestic and foreign policies of middle powers in the changing international order. Meet our Chair Katerina Dalacoura is Associate Professor in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Director of the LSE Middle East Centre. She held a Major Research Fellowship by the Leverhulme Trust between 2021 and 2024. The project findings will shortly be published as a book monograph by Cambridge University Press, under the title Islamic International Thought in Turkey: History, Civilisation and Nation.

Rendez-vous dans l'extrême nord du Pakistan, dans les montagnes du Gilgit-Baltistan. Située aux confins de la Chine et de l'Afghanistan, cette région isolée abrite certains des plus hauts sommets du monde et des milliers de glaciers. Ses paysages à couper le souffle accueillent chaque année des centaines de milliers de visiteurs. Pourtant, la région est en première ligne face au changement climatique et voit ses glaciers fondre à un rythme accéléré, avec des conséquences déjà visibles : inondations soudaines, glissements de terrain et ruptures de lacs glaciaires se multiplient. Pourtant essentiels à l'économie locale, au tourisme et à l'irrigation des cultures, les glaciers sont également devenus une source croissance d'inquiétude. Plus imprévisibles que jamais, ils menacent désormais les villages à leur pied. De notre correspondante Ondine de Gaulle à Gilgit-Baltistan, Dans une pièce unique, simplement meublée, Malika, 52 ans, tablier noué autour de la taille, s'active aux fourneaux. Dans ce petit restaurant de Gulmit, au cœur du Gilgit-Baltistan, elle a dû tout recommencer à zéro. L'été dernier, son ancien restaurant, au bord de la rivière, a été emporté en quelques minutes par une crue soudaine : « Personne ne nous avait prévenus qu'une chose pareille allait arriver. J'étais occupée à mes tâches habituelles. Soudain, quand la crue a frappé, j'ai fui. Le restaurant et tout le reste ont été emportés. Nous n'avons reçu aucune compensation du gouvernement. » La catastrophe a été provoquée par la rupture d'un lac glaciaire, relâchant soudainement plusieurs millions de mètres cubes d'eau. Le village de Malika se trouve au pied du glacier de Gulmit, qui culmine à près de 7 300 mètres d'altitude : « Le dérèglement climatique s'est aggravé ces trois dernières années. De telles crues s'étaient déjà produites par le passé, peut-être une fois tous les 15 ou 20 ans. Mais leur intensité n'était pas aussi forte. » La région accueille près de 13 000 glaciers, les plus nombreux hors des zones polaires. Nous retrouvons Saleem Khan, guide de haute montagne de 34 ans, à la fin du glacier de Passu. Devant lui, de l'eau jaillit d'une vaste crevasse ouverte dans la glace : « Autrefois, le glacier faisait 30 kilomètres de long, mais il ne mesure plus aujourd'hui que 12 kilomètres, à cause du changement climatique. » À lire aussiAu Pakistan, comment le changement climatique intensifie les moussons meurtrières « Tout a été emporté » Avec la hausse des températures, les glaciers de la région fondent, depuis 2010, à un rythme environ 65% plus rapide que durant la décennie précédente. « Ces glaciers ont causé de nombreux dégâts aux terres agricoles, aux habitations et à l'industrie du tourisme. À terme, les habitants partirons, car il ne restera plus rien. Ce sera la fin de notre civilisation », s'inquiète Saleem Khan. Dans une vallée voisine, à Hassanabad, les crues glaciaires ne sont plus des événements ponctuels et se succèdent depuis 2019. À l'été 2025, une crue soudaine a tout pris à Ali Dawar, 74 ans, chapeau traditionnel vissé sur la tête : « Tout a été emporté : nos cerisiers, nos autres arbres fruitiers, les maisons, les étables... » Il craint que ses enfants ne puissent plus vivre sur ces terres : « Les experts nous ont dit que dans les cinq années à venir, les eaux emporteront tout ce qu'il reste. Mais qu'allons-nous faire ? Nous sommes pauvres. Nous n'avons pas les moyens de louer un logement en ville et nous ne sommes pas assez instruits pour trouver un travail de bureau. » Ces glaciers alimentent une grande partie du Pakistan, et leur disparition progressive pourrait fragiliser la sécurité hydrique et alimentaire de plus de 220 millions de personnes.

If you ain't the one, you the prototype. Every institution has its creation myth. Rome had Romulus and Remus, Apple had the garage, The Beats had the 1944 murder. StabMic, in its larval stage, had no posters, sponsors, or Danny from the booth. It wasn't even StabMic yet. It was just an idea, and perhaps the defining idea of the modern male condition. We should start a podcast. This was sometime around the end of 2024. Dane and Dooma never got around to settling on a name, though several contenders emerged from the primordial soup: Shit Salad, Off The Pulse, Sucking Dick For Beer Money, Unemployable, and Nonsense. Fine names, in my opinion, if slightly difficult to monetise. History is written by the victors and unfortunately, so are algorithm-friendly podcast titles. On moving day at the old Chapter 11 store in Ventura, they filmed a pilot episode, an early hominid in the StabMic evolutionary timeline. Consequently, the recording is punctuated by customers wondering if the store was still trading, people searching for the new location, and team riders intermittently raiding the fridge for beer. The production values were also slightly lower than our current Ventura dungeon. One camera, a couple of microphones Dooma paid for himself, and several Coors Lights for social lubrication. Civilisation has been built on less. Many ramblings ensued. The conversation meandered through Dane's fascination with inland America, from the magic of Idaho to the hoax of Wyoming, before eventually arriving at a number of his hotter takes. On the success of the Florence hood: “It pisses me off that he was able to do that.” “I'm not pissed off at John John, he rules, but it pisses me off how quickly he was able to connect with his audience, and that we weren't. It's a jealous thing.” On the financial mistakes of his career: “I was just an idiot. I wouldn't do anything if I thought it was whack. I was very ungrateful. Money just wasn't a tangible thing to me at the time. What they were paying me, and what they expected out of me, and how I was always just like, ‘fuck you!' I was not grateful at all. Pro surfing doesn't set you up for much humility.” “I didn't think I was cool or rad or anything like that. I just didn't see the transaction of money meaning anything.” “Money didn't mean anything to me in my 20s. I'd only spend money on donuts and surf trips, and my sponsors would pay for those. With Monster, I was an idiot. I rode for them for a while, but when it came to re-signing, I was like, ‘Uhhh, I don't really like Monsters, so I don't want to ride for them anymore.'” “I would have been such a failure if I was growing up in this era. It's so cringey to me to be self-promotional, and now you just have to be.” Dane also admits to turning down significant money from sunglasses brands because he hates wearing them. They make him feel like he's wearing a mask, he says. Like he's pretending to be somebody else. An hour-long experiment was all it took for the suspicion to form that this might be something worth continuing. Dooma got chatting with Sam Mc. One thing led to another, and roughly a year later, StabMic arrived. We're now four and a half months into the project. Long enough, we thought, to revisit its awkward adolescence. This is the first recorded episode of StabMic in chronological time. Episode 18 in the order of release. Enjoy. This episode was filmed by Kevin Janson. Big thanks to our sponsors, Rationale Brewing and Yucca Fins, too.

Le 25 août 1835, les lecteurs du journal américain The Sun découvrent une information extraordinaire. Selon une série d'articles publiés en une, un célèbre astronome britannique aurait observé… la vie sur la Lune. Pas seulement quelques traces mystérieuses : de véritables forêts, des océans, des animaux étranges et même des humanoïdes ailés !Cette histoire incroyable est restée célèbre sous le nom de “Great Moon Hoax”, autrement dit le “grand canular lunaire”. Et ce faux reportage va provoquer un immense succès commercial.À l'époque, l'astronomie passionne le public. Le XIXe siècle est marqué par les progrès scientifiques et les découvertes spectaculaires. Beaucoup pensent que l'Homme est sur le point de percer les secrets de l'univers. Le journal profite donc de cet enthousiasme collectif.Les articles prétendent rapporter les observations du véritable astronome John Herschel, fils du célèbre découvreur de la planète Uranus. Herschel se trouve alors en Afrique du Sud pour observer le ciel austral. Ce détail rend l'histoire crédible : peu de lecteurs peuvent vérifier ce qu'il fait réellement à des milliers de kilomètres.Le journal affirme qu'un télescope révolutionnaire aurait permis d'observer la surface lunaire avec une précision incroyable. Les descriptions deviennent de plus en plus folles au fil des jours : on parle de plages de sable bleu, de forêts rouges, de bisons lunaires, de castors capables de marcher debout… puis apparaissent les créatures les plus célèbres du récit : des êtres humanoïdes ailés ressemblant à des chauves-souris géantes.Aujourd'hui cela paraît absurde. Mais en 1835, beaucoup de lecteurs y croient. Pourquoi ? D'abord parce que les articles utilisent un langage scientifique très détaillé. Ensuite parce que le nom de John Herschel inspire confiance. Enfin parce que les journaux de l'époque vérifient rarement leurs informations avec rigueur.Le résultat est spectaculaire. Les ventes de The Sun explosent. Le quotidien devient l'un des plus lus de New York. Des milliers de personnes achètent chaque numéro pour découvrir la suite des révélations lunaires.Quelques semaines plus tard, le canular est finalement dévoilé. Son auteur principal serait le journaliste Richard Adams Locke. Mais le mal — ou le génie médiatique — est déjà fait.Cette affaire reste importante aujourd'hui car elle montre que les “fake news” ne datent pas d'Internet. Dès le XIXe siècle, une histoire sensationnelle, présentée avec un vernis scientifique, pouvait déjà tromper des foules entières… et rapporter énormément d'argent. Hébergé par Acast.

Retired IT Analyst wins Who Wants to be a Millionaire

There is something oddly reassuring about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? still existing. In an age where television increasingly resembles either therapy, humiliation, or celebrities baking things under emotional lighting, Millionaire remains gloriously simple. Questions. Tension. Lights. Somebody sweating gently while trying to remember the capital of Kazakhstan. Civilisation, really.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at the astonishing moment the seventh contestant in the show's history finally reached the million-pound question and actually won the thing. Which still feels improbable, frankly. The odds are absurdly against it. Fifteen increasingly difficult questions, studio pressure intense enough to liquefy internal organs, and the knowledge that one slightly overconfident guess can reduce your financial future to the approximate value of a second-hand Ford Fiesta.We trace the strange cultural durability of the programme, from the Chris Tarrant years through to the rather more growlingly Clarksonian era under Jeremy Clarkson. There's also the unavoidable shadow of the coughing scandal, which remains one of the great moments in British television history. Not morally great, obviously. Spiritually speaking it was fairly ropey. But memorable.The thing about Millionaire is that it reveals something rather profound about modern Britain. We still love the fantasy that knowledge, composure, and a bit of courage can suddenly catapult an ordinary person into another life entirely. One moment you are sitting at home worrying about council tax and the price of butter. The next, confetti and dramatic music.And yet, quietly underneath all that, sits the old biblical question about wealth itself. What actually changes once the cheque arrives? Does money solve anxiety, or merely redecorate it slightly? We get into all that too, naturally, because no British conversation about sudden riches is complete without at least mild suspicion of them.

Decoding the Gurus
Iain McGilchrist, Part 2: Hemispheres, Culture, and Cosmic Consciousness

In this episode, we return to Iain McGilchrist as he spirals upwards from his binary hemispheric model into full cosmic spirituality. The rule is simple: everything McGilchrist likes is due to the subtle, nuanced, and deeply sophisticated right brain, while the left brain (pffft) is responsible for reductionism, modernity, and most of the problems in your life.From this neuroscientific foundation, the theory expands with admirable ambition. Civilisations rise and fall depending on which hemisphere they inhabit. Ancient societies were properly attuned to the right brain, while the modern world has gone mechanical and spiritually bankrupt. The details are, of course, very complex, but the moral is clear.Scientific evidence features occasionally, mostly in a decorative capacity or as parables of scientists being baffled by mystical forces. Hence, we learn that decapitated worms retain perfect memories, Nobel Prizes have been awarded for demonstrating a mystical direction powering evolution, and near-death experiences establish that memories form when the brain isn't functioning.Alongside this hard science, McGilchrist also ventures into more spiritual realms, where we learn that artificial intelligence is likely to be channelling demons, schizophrenia might be caused by malign spiritual forces treating our brains as a luxury resort, and recently exorcised demons prefer to communicate via text message. No really...Ultimately, what matters is that McGilchrist's bespoke theology, bespoke metaphysics, bespoke biological teleology, and bespoke panentheist philosophy are really very impressive. And if you don't find any of it compelling, well, we are sad to inform you that this itself proves you are stuck in the wrong mode of thinking and failing to recognise true profundity.And if that doesn't work, then let's just say it was all a metaphor anyway!LinksAlex O' Connor: Why Evolution Gave You Two Brains - Iain McGilchristJonathan Pageau: Artificial Intelligence, Possession, and Mental Illness - Dr. Iain McGilchristThink Faith: Philosopher Iain McGilchrist DEBATES neuroscientist Anil Seth on God & minds | Uncommon GroundSpezio, M.

Europe plunged into a deep freeze. Life as we know it upended. The 2004 film ‘The Day After Tomorrow' gave a generation of terrified journalists an impossible task: how do you communicate the counter intuitive threat of dramatically colder winters caused by global warming? David Shukman was one of them.This week, Tom Rivett-Carnac is joined by the veteran BBC Science Editor and author of the upcoming ‘The Response', to explore the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC: the vast system of currents that helps regulate weather, rainfall and temperature across the Atlantic and far beyond. Recent research suggests it may be weakening faster than previously understood - with potentially profound consequences for food systems, ecosystems and global stability.They speak with Dr Willem Huiskamp of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, who explains what AMOC does, and what a much weaker system could mean in practice. Then Tom and David reflect on the harder questions. How do we communicate a risk this vast and uncertain without paralysing people or losing them entirely? Are we socially and politically prepared for -50C winters in parts of Europe? And are we even capable of responding to a threat that may unfold over decades rather than across news cycles and political terms? Learn More:
