241130 - Dymaxion by Derrière le Volant

Ya lo sabéis, en Garaje Hermético… ¡nos gustan las rarezas! Sobre todo, cuando hablamos de técnica. Y Hemos seleccionado 10 coches raros que seguro os van a sorprender, si no todos, casi todos… Siempre alabo y admiro el ingenio de los ingenieros. Me gusta mucho el diseño, pero me atraen más las rarezas cuando son mecánicas que cuando son puros ejercicio de diseño… aunque ambas cosas son compatibles. He escogido 10 rarezas, aunque teníamos más. He tratado en centrarme en coches que se han vendido, poco o mucho, aunque hay excepciones, porque por algunos de los modelos que aparecen en este vídeo, siento verdadera debilidad... 1. Alfa Romeo P3 (1932). Doble eje de transmisión. Vittorio Jano, nacido en 1891 es, sencillamente, un mito. Lo original de este coche era su transmisión. Tras el motor iba el cambio con la palanca entre las piernas del piloto y tras el cambio estaba el diferencial y desde ahí partían dos árboles de transmisión a dos coronas, una en cada rueda… realmente original. 2. Monaco Trossi (1935). Motor en estrella y tracción delantera. Su inspiración aeronáutica es evidente, con un motor de avión, de dos tiempos, 16 cilindros en estrella y 250 CV en el morro del monoplaza. Y, para hacerlo todavía más raro, con tracción delantera. 3. Isetta (1953). Entrar por delante. Pocos modelos más originales que este. Ermenegildo Preti era profesor de la Universidad Politécnica de Milán y se le ocurrió esta idea: Hacer un coche muy cortito, tanto que no había sitio para poner puertas laterales… así que se entraba por delante, por una única puerta delantera, basculando el volante. 4. Mercedes 300 SL (1954). Inyección directa de gasolina. Alguno me reprocharéis: “¿Rara la inyección directa de gasolina?” Cierto, hoy día que es lo más habitual, no es muy rara, pero os aseguro que en 1954 sí que los era. 5. Citroën 2 CV Sahara (1960). ¡Con dos motores! El ejército francés, en sus colonias africanas, necesitaba un coche todo terreno de tracción total, simple y barato. Y en Citroën decidieron partir de su probado 2CV y poner un motor en el maletero. Así consiguieron un 4x4 sencillo, barato y más francés que el champan. 6. Chrysler Turbine (1964). ¡Se vendieron 55 unidades! Hubo un momento de furor con la carrera espacial y con la aviación que las marcas de coche pensaron que las turbinas de aviación eran el futuro… y se estrellaron… Confieso que este coche, diseñado por Ghia y con turbinas A831 me apasiona… tanto que a lo mejor hago un vídeo monográfico. Con solo 130 CV el coche no corría mucho, gastaba una barbaridad y su motor tenía una temperatura de trabajo cercana a los 1.000 grados… se vendieron 55 que la marca recuperó y destruyó dejando solo 9 para la historia. 7. Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado (1968). Motor V8 y tracción delantera. A mediados de los años 60 la tracción delantera era una rareza, más en coche “Made in USA”. Cadillac rediseñó desde cero su nuevo Eldorado y en las versiones topes de gama, como la Fleetwood, la tracción delanetera se compaginaba con los enormes V9 de más de 7 litros y más de 300 CV, una pasada. 8. Lamborghini Countach (1975). Eje de transmisión por mitad del cárter. Hasta ese momento, todos los coches con motor central longitudinal llevaban el motor con el embrague hacia atrás, con el conjunto cambio diferencial a continuación. Pero con una distancia entre ejes de solo 2,5 el excelente motor V12 que ya tenían, sencillamente, no cabía. ¿Qué hicieron? Dar la vuelta al motor con el embrague y el cambio hacia el centro del coche y con un árbol de transmisión que atravesaba el cárter para llevar el movimiento al diferencial y al eje trasero. 9. Toyota Previa (1990). Motor central tumbado y propulsión posterior. Toyota quería hacer un o una, como queráis, monovolumen casi Premium y le hizo el encargo a uno de sus mejores diseñadores, Tokuo Fukuichi. Para conseguir la máxima habitabilidad y el mejor comportamiento tuvo una idea: ¿Y si pongo el motor en el centro? 10. Nissan GTR (2007). Doble árbol de transmisión. A primeros de los años 2000, Nissan quería un coche con motor delantero, porque querían superar en habitabilidad al 911, pero a la vez querían un coche con un buen reparto de pesos, lo que equivalía a montar en cambio sobre el eje trasero y al mismo tiempo querían que fuese tracción total... y aquí llegaba el lío. Así que pusieron dos árboles de transmisión. Uno conectaba el motor delantero, a través del embrague, con el cambio situado atrás. Y otro iba desde al cambio al eje delantero… así consiguieron tracción total y buen reparto de pesos. Por cierto, una solución que ya había utilizado, en este caso con motor central, el Ford RS200 en 1984. Conclusión. Muy sencilla: Había más. Me he dejado fuera coches como el Peugeot Turbo 16, con el motor a un lado, el Mini 6R4 con el motor entre las ruedas, prototipos, como el Dymaxion único coche que conozco con motor posterior y tracción delantera o el VW EA266, un supuesto sustituto del Escarabajo, con motor central bajo los asientos traseros.

Durante unas décadas la disposición con el motor atrás era considerada la mejor para aprovechar el espacio y rebajar el coste de fabricación de un coche… hubo muchos y muy conocidos coches “todo atrás” … y también muchos poco o nada conocidos. Hoy toca hablar de los desconocidos. ¿Qué ventajas tiene el motor posterior? Voy a enumerar las más importantes: - Aprovechamiento del espacio. No hay árbol de transmisión por en medio. - Más barato, pues es más sencillo y con menos piezas que fabricar. - Aerodinámica, puedes hacer el morro muy bajo, porque ahí no hay “nada”. ¿Y el inconveniente? Pues no es lo ideal para la estabilidad, como te contamos en un video que hicimos titulado “Coche “todo atrás”, ¿Por qué son un peligro?”. En ese video aparece alguno de los coches que vamos a citar hoy. Vamos ya con la lista…. ¡a ver cuántos conoces! 1. Mercedes-Benz 130 (1934). Si miras este coche te puedes creer que estás ante un precursor del VW Escarabajo… pues no, es todo un Mercedes, pero con motor posterior. Tuvo diversos sucesores, los 150 y 170H. Las malas lenguas dicen que este modelo se inspiró en el Tatra T77 que apareció poco después y que era muy parecido… 2. Tatra 77a (1935). Tatra es una desaparecida marca checa por la que tengo gran aprecio. Hemos hablado de ella en muchas ocasiones, porque es injustamente olvidada. Prácticamente siempre apostó por grandes motores colocados atrás y por modelos con refinada aerodinámica. Uno de los primeros de esta saga es el 77a que he elegido para esta lista… ¡no me digáis que no es precioso! 3. SMZ (1954). ¡Una verdadera rareza! Es un coche ruso destinado a personas discapacitadas… En las desaparecidas URSS se le conocía como “la silla de ruedas con motor” y contaba con una mecánica de dos tiempos, 350 cm3 y 10 CV en la versión A. 4. Subaru 360 (1958). Os traigo al primer Subaru. Hay muchos modelos japoneses con motor trasero, muy desconocidos por estos lares, por eso he querido traer por lo menos uno y os traído este, del que se fabricaron casi 400.000 unidades y que permitió a Subaru afianzarse como marca. 5. Hino Contessa (1961). Hino es una empresa japonesa ahora propiedad de Toyota y que fabrica camiones. En 1953 fabricó en Japón y bajo licencia el Renault 4 CV, conocido como 4/4 en España. Hay varios modelos de Hino Contessa, de diseño Michelotti, inspiración americana, en el Corvair, un coche fracasado pero muy inspirador, y basado en la tecnología francesa… una verdadera rareza. 6. NSU Prinz 4 (1961). Me gusta especialmente la generación 4 inspirada en el Chevrolet Corvair americano… de hecho parece un encogido. Contaba con motor posterior de 535 cm3, de 2 cilindros y 4 tiempos que desarrollaba 35 CV… que no estaba nada mal. De hecho, es un coche que tuvo cierto éxito en competición para coches de menos de 750 cm3. 7. Hillman Imp (1963). Como se cuele decir, en este caso “el niño nació muerto”. ¿Por qué digo esto? Porque cuando se lanzó este modelo en 1963 el Mini llevaba muchos años en el mercado. Por calidad de realización, acabados y fiabilidad, el Imp era mejor. Pero por comportamiento estaba a otro nivel. Luego, además, por temas políticos, se trasladó su producción a Escocia y dejaron de ser tan buenos y fiables. 8. Renault 10 (1965). No he podido resistirme a incluir al olvidado R10, una versión alargada y más lujosa del R8. Renault quería competir en coches de la categoría superior al R8 y se le ocurrió alargar el citado R8 ¡Ojo!, los voladizos, porque la distancia entre ejes era la misma, pero se alargaba nada menos que 10 cm delante y 8 cm detrás. Pasaban varias cosas. En primer lugar, era más de lo mismo. En segundo, la habitabilidad era idéntica, aunque el maletero fuese algo mayor. Y tercero, curiosamente, al alargar el coche y con el capó plano, parecía más estrecho, Nunca fue percibido como un coche netamente superior al R8 y se puede decir que fue un fracaso. 9. Škoda Rapid (1980). Škoda tiene mucha tradición en coches con motor posterior. Este Rapid de 1980 fue de los últimos, pero un coche que yo probé y me sorprendió su calidad. Sabía que los checos eran buenos haciendo coches, aunque su tecnología estuviese, en esos años, algo anticuada. Era un coche con encanto, bien hecho, diferente… de los que Škoda ya no hace. Los hace mejores, pero no tan especiales. 10. Tata Nano (2008). El más moderno de la lista, que se fabricó hasta hace solo 6 años. Era un coche muy especial, un coche mínimo que debía ser muy práctico y muy, pero que muy barato. Y lo fue. Cuando se puso a la venta en la India, el precio de este coche era de alrededor de 1.500 €. Si lo hacemos en “euros constantes” teniendo en cuanto la inflación, estaríamos hablando de unos 3.000 €. O sea, muy barato. Tenía motor posterior de dos cilindros, 624 cm3 y 33 CV con un consumo homologado de alrededor de 4 litros a los 100 km. Conclusión. Me he dejado varios en la recámara, pero alguno de ellos saldrá en el video que desde ya estoy preparando de coches carismáticos con motor trasero, y os adelanto que alguno de esto también os va a sorprender. Coche del día. Como coche del día os traído un clásico del canal, un coche que me entusiasma porque no puede ser más raro, el Dymaxion. Es el único coche que conozco con motor posterior y tracción delantera y, además, dirección a la única rueda situada en el eje trasero… ¡este hecho al revés! Pero estará conmigo en que no puede ser más raro, más curioso y más atractivo.

R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House was a marvel of modern technology that promised to create freedom by liberating the mind and curing all of society's problems... so why aren't you living in one right now? https://order-of-the-jackalope.com/fuller-houses/ Key sources for this episode include Jonathon Keats' You Belong to the Universe: Buckminster Fuller and the Future; Lloyd Steven Sieden's Buckminster Fuller's Universe: His Life and His Work; and Michael Brian Schiffer's Spectacular Flops: Game-Changing Technologies That Failed... but especially Lorettta Lorance's Becoming Bucky Fuller, which is both the most thorough and most critical biography of Fuller and definitely worth checking out.

Buckminster Fuller was a designer, inventor, and thinker, and a true American original. Alec Nevala-Lee is the author of a new detailed and honest biography of Fuller, "Inventor of the Future: The Visionary Life of Buckminster Fuller." Dave talks to Alec about Bucky's life, the unusual cast of characters he attracted, and starts to get into some questions that help inform why Bucky's outsized personality might have attracted people who later went on to become attracted to various kinds of disinformation campaigns — a topic we'll explore in some later episodes. Follow Alec on Twitter at @nevalalee — and buy the book wherever books are sold. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/59571984-inventor-of-the-future Keywords: Buckminster Fuller, Bucky Fuller, Inventor of the Future, Alec Nevala-Lee, Margaret Fuller, Geodesic Dome, Tensegrity, Gurdjieff, Roerich, Montreal Expo, Spaceship Earth, EPCOT, Bare Maximum, Dymaxion, 4D, Trim Tab, Robert Kiyosaki, Critical Path, Synergetics, Grunch of Giants, Werner Erhard, est training, John Denver, Ellen Burstyn, The Hunger Project, Stewart Brand, Whole Earth Catalog, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos

Hay coches que, en mi opinión, son absurdos. Otros no, otros son, directamente, estúpidos, sin sentido… Aunque puedan tener su encanto. Os hemos buscado una selección que, os anticipo, bastante variada. Y, como siempre, nos mojamos y diremos si solo con absurdos o, directamente, una estupidez. Limusinas: Más es peor. Vamos a distinguir entre las genuinas limusinas, berlinas de lujo que partían de una berlina normal y se alargaba la distancia entre ejes para proporcionar sobre todo más confort a los ocupantes que viajan detrás, aunque también se podía aumentar el número de posibles ocupantes. Muchas marcas han ofrecido versiones alargadas de sus berlinas más representativas, desde por ejemplo Citroën CX que ofrecía una versión “Prestige” con un acabado de lujo y batalla alargada 25 cm. Lo mismo hacían y hacen otras marcas, como Mercedes Clase S y las americanas Lincoln y Cadillac ofrecían modelos muy lujosos. Estas son las limusinas digamos, “razonables”. Pero luego, primero en los USA y luego en todo el Mundo se comenzaron a popularizar esas limusinas larguísimas, de más de 10 metros y con las ruedas en los extremos. SUV Coupé. ¿En qué quedamos? Siempre digo que los SUV son para mí coches absurdos con los inconvenientes de los TT de peso, tamaño y mala aerodinámica (por superficie frontal), pero sin sus ventajas. Pero ¿SUV-Coupé? Para mí el ejemplo más representativo ha sido uno de los primeros, el BMW X6 que tiene el mérito de reunir muchas de las desventajas de TT y algunas de las desventajas de un Coupé, como es la escasa habitabilidad trasera en altura… pero hay gente a la que estas cosas les gustan, con tal de llamar la atención… Monovolumen… ¿De tres volúmenes? Recuerdo la presentación del Seat Toledo III (2004-2009) en la que, en la comida, un “iluminado” me dijo: “Hemos inventado el monovolumen de tres volúmenes”… Pues, ¡enhorabuena! Os lo podíais haber ahorrado. Para mí es un ejemplo de cómo partiendo de un coche bonito, como el Altea y con un buen diseñador, como Walter de Silva, se puede hacer un verdadero monstruo. Monovolumen Coupé, ¡venga ya! Otro fracaso más. A ver, en qué quedamos, o monovolumen o coupé. Renault a la que en general aplaudo su valentía a la hora de hacer nuevas propuestas, se equivocó con el Avantime. El coche apareció en 2002 y desapareció en 2003. Y ¡ojo! que no fue como el caso de Seat, que añadieron, con perdón, un “culo” al Altea, aquí se lo curraron e inventaron unas puertas denominadas de “doble cinemática” que eran un prodigio… Descapotable… y Diésel. Ya sabéis que soy un defensor de los Diésel por más que algunos políticos desinformados hayan creado una leyenda negra… Pero, todo tiene un límite. Un TT, mejor diésel. Una SUV grande o un monovolumen, mejor diésel. Una berlina para viajar, mejor diésel. Coches ciudadanos, mejor híbrido o eléctricos, pero diésel, ¿por qué no? Coupés…pues para mí, un coupé diésel, como que no, pero hay motores diésel tan buenos que dan la talla. Pero ¿un descapotable Diesel? ¡Va de retro Satana! Os lo digo en castellano, porque seguro qua alguno que otro no sabe latín: ¡Aléjate de mí Satanás! Porsche y popular… ¿en la misma frase? Zapatero a tus zapatos… Si haces coupés estupendos y además te metes a hacer berlinas, SUV, coches diésel, híbridos, eléctricos… En 1994 Porsche diseñó un coche popular para el mercado chino. Shooting break, informal pero elegante. O sea, con chándal, pero con tacones. Las ideas más locas pueden funcionar si le pones un nombre chulo. Si dices de un coche que es un “coupé de caza” muchos te dirán si eres tonto, que nadie va a cazar con un coupé… bueno, si eres inglés, a lo mejor sí. Pero si dices “shooting break”… ¡ahí amigo! ¡eso es otra cosa! Aston Martin hizo unos pocos DB5 con esta configuración. Y en 1972 Volvo ofreció su exitoso Coupé 1800 S en versión Shooting Break, con portón posterior. Sólo se fabricaron unos 8.000, pero pasado el tiempo fue la inspiración del Volvo 480 Coupé y pasado más tiempo muchos coches han usado esa denominación. Coches de 3 ruedas. No me gustan los coches con motores de 3 cilindros… pero los coches de 3 ruedas, me gustan menos. Reliant ofrecía coches de tres ruedas, con una solo delante… justo donde iba el motor… ya es ganas de liarla. Primero fue el Reliant Regal de 1953, con chasis de madera… no le faltaba detalle. Y luego el Robin 20 años después. Motor trasero tracción delantera. Cerramos con un clásico de este canal. Uno de vosotros me preguntó si a alguien se le había ocurrido hacer un coche con motor por detrás del eje trasero y tracción delantera. Y antes de decir que a nadie en su sano juicio se le ocurriría semejante chorrada, me informé… y me encontré con el Dymaxion.

Listen, have fun, go mad, get buried in a Dymaxion house. That's about the order of operations in this episode about a UK-only kids game based on a property called the Tweenies. They like to have fun and dance around, and one time a genie trapped them in the jungle with dinosaurs. But is there a more sinister side?

Anna Brodsky is cofounder of the Global Redesign Institute, a childcare activist, and advocate for Structural Satyagraha: the design and implementation of infrastructure which supports and rewards nonviolent behavior. We talk about the meaning of structural satyagraha, American inventor Buckminster Fuller's term Dymaxion, Project Cybersyn, and their lovechild, Dymaxyn, open source cities, education, childcare as the regulatory subsystem of the community, post-scarcity, open-access governance, and holistic approaches to the future of society. Agora Politics is dedicated to upgrading our outdated theories of politics. Doing so requires honest and forthright engagement with not only academics, entrepreneurs, and intellectuals, but luminaries of all types who are tuning in to the zeitgeist and attempting to synthesize stories of the past, with knowledge of the present, and visions of the future.

De alguno de estos coches ya hemos hablado… pero de otros no. Porque hemos hecho listas de coches raros o de coches incomprendidos… pero esta selección es de coches que, en su momento, parecían una verdadera locura. Y, en algunos casos, más bien diría que en la mayoría, es que lo eran. Conviértete en miembro de este canal para disfrutar de ventajas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBG3pvXhocK7_GjeIx2sUeg/join ¡Pero en Garaje Hermético nos gustan las rarezas, las locuras y la imaginación! Porque a los creadores de estos coches se les puede culpar de muchas cosas, pero de falta de imaginación, desde luego, no. Y de acertar… pues tampoco. He elegido 10 coches que van desde el año 1933 hasta 1971, de producción de competición, prototipos, eléctricos, de energía nuclear, algunos peligrosos y todos muy pero que muy locos… Pero os aseguro que hay de todo. 1. Dymaxion (1933). Peor, imposible. 2. Chrysler Airflow (1934). Demasiado innovador. 3. Mónaco Trossi T34 (1935). “Casi un avión sin alas” 4. Chevrolet Corvair (1959). Inseguro a cualquier velocidad. 5. Simca Fulgur (1959). Así serán los coches en el 2000 6. Citroën 2 CV Sahara (1960). “Un motor en el maletero” 7. Oldsmobile Toronado (1966). Una bendita locura. 8. Gyro X (1967). ¿Coche o moto? 9. Chaparral 2J (1970). “El ladrillo volador” 10. Lotus 56B 4WD (1971). ¡¡¡Despegamos!!! Coche del día No recuerdo bien, pero creo que me repetiría si eligiese el Oldsmobile Toronado, Así que voy a hacer una trampa que ya he hecho antes: Elegir la miniatura de Auto Pilen.

Burch Driver, Host of Green Knight, Joins us to discuss a Man whos impact was so severe yet he is seemingly forgotten today, Richard Buckminster Fuller was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, and futurist who developed the geodesic dome —the only large dome that can be set directly on the ground as a complete structure and the only practical kind of building that has no limiting dimensions. He styled his name as R.

In this episode, I am highlighting the interdisciplinary work of Buckminster Fuller and his emphasis on whole systems design. His approach of doing more with less has had a huge impact on folks both within and outside of Permaculture Design practice - including myself long before I heard the word Permaculture, I learned about Bucky Fuller, Geodesic domes, the Whole Earth Catalog and the whole systems design movement of the early & mid 20th Century. I also really identified with his discipline of learning for oneself, from direct experience - He states that "man must learn to think for himself, rather than follow blindly what he has been taught." I hope enjoy another show digging into the roots of Permaculture...

 S1EP7 Lauren Turk: Discusses her life and EP "Bloom"  We play Lauren’s new song “See You Again” at end of episode! Lauren Turk: Lauren Turk's debut song and music video "Love Left Over" premiered on The FADER with an appearance from Amandla Stenberg. Lauren is known for her one-woman shows, singing in French, English and Spanish, live looping beats, piano, violin and her voice to soundscape from scratch, as well as her "Stories to Songs" concerts, where she transforms audience stories into songs live. She performs around the world for conferences, festivals and brands such as TEDx, Airbnb, OZY, Sandbox, Hatch, C2, VidCon, La Calaca, Kiss the Ground, USC, Amnesty International, and more. Lauren also composes for film (Bright; Netflix / Will Smith, Mexico Pelagico; Netflix). Calabria, Italy: Calabria, in southwest Italy, occupies the "toe" of the country’s boot-shaped peninsula. It's a sun-baked region of rugged mountains, old-fashioned villages and dramatic coastline, with many popular beaches. Coastal Reggio Calabria, its largest city, is home to the Museo Archeologico Nazionale and its Riace Bronzes, a famous pair of Greek warriors dating back to the 5th century B.C.E. Calabria Song: "Calabria" is a song by Danish DJ/producer Rune Reilly Kölsch. It was originally released in 2003 by Credence, a sub label of Parlophone Records. Istanbul, Turkey:Istanbul (UK: /ˌɪstænˈbʊl/, /-ˈbuːl/ or US: /-stɑːn-/ or /ˈɪstənbʊl/;Turkish: İstanbul [isˈtanbuɫ], historically known as Byzantium and before 1924 as Constantinople, is the most populous city in Turkey and the country's economic, cultural, and historic center. Istanbul is a transcontinental city in Eurasia, straddling the Bosporus strait (which separates Europe and Asia) between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Its commercial and historical center lies on the European side and about a third of its population lives on the Asian side. The city is the administrative center of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (coterminous with Istanbul Province), both hosting a population of around 15 million residents. Istanbul is one of the world's most populous cities and ranks as the world's fourth-largest city proper and the largest European city. Istanbul is viewed as a bridge between the East and West. Istanbul not Constantinople: "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" is a 1953 novelty song, with lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy and music by Nat Simon. Written on the 500th anniversary of the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans, the lyrics humorously refer to the official 1930 renaming of the city of Constantinople to Istanbul. The song's original release, performed by The Four Lads, was certified as a gold record. Pink’s NY: Hip hotspot for craft cocktails, upscale pub food & live music in an industrial-chic setting. Paris, France: Paris (French pronunciation: ​[paʁi] is the capital and most populous city of France, with an area of 105 square kilometres (41 square miles) and a population of 2,206,488. Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of Europe's major centres of finance, commerce, fashion, science, and the arts. Sciences Po: The Paris Institute of Political Studies, commonly referred to as Sciences Po, is a prestigious and influential academic institution in the social sciences in France. Buckminster Fuller: Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" house/car, ephemeralization, synergetic, and "tensegrity". He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres. Fuller was the second World President of Mensa from 1974 to 1983. Natural hair movement: The natural hair movement is a movement which encourages women of African descent to keep their natural afro-textured hair. Originating in the United States during the 2000s, this movement is called mouvement nappy in French-speaking countries. The Way of the Superior Man-David Deida:Though much has changed in society since the first publication of The Way of the Superior Man, men of all ages still “tussle with the challenges of women, work, and sexual desire.” Including an all-new preface by author David Deida, this 20th-anniversary edition of the classic guide to male spirituality offers the next generation the opportunity to cultivate trust in the moment and put forth the best versions of themselves in an ever-changing world. Women's studies:Women's studies is an academic field that draws on feminist and interdisciplinary methods in order to place women’s lives and experiences at the center of study, while examining social and cultural constructs of gender; systems of privilege and oppression; and the relationships between power and gender as they intersect with other identities and social locations such as race, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, and disability. Identity Politics:political positions based on the interests and perspectives of social groups with which people identify. Identity politics includes the ways in which people's politics are shaped by aspects of their identity through loosely[clarification needed] correlated social organizations. Examples include social organizations based on age, religion, social class or caste, culture, dialect, disability, education, ethnicity, language, nationality, sex, gender identity, generation, occupation, profession, race, political party affiliation, sexual orientation, settlement, urban and rural habitation, and veteran status.The term "identity politics" has been in use in various forms since the 1960s or 1970s, but has been applied with, at times, radically different meanings by different populations. Gender Norms:What are gender roles?Gender roles in society means how we’re expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct ourselves based upon our assigned sex. For example, girls and women are generally expected to dress in typically feminine ways and be polite, accommodating, and nurturing. Men are generally expected to be strong, aggressive, and bold. Every society, ethnic group, and culture has gender role expectations, but they can be very different from group to group. They can also change in the same society over time. For example, pink used to be considered a masculine color in the U.S. while blue was considered feminine. Ethnography:(from Greek ἔθνος ethnos "folk, people, nation" and γράφω grapho "I write") is the systematic study of people and cultures. It is designed to explore cultural phenomena where the researcher observes society from the point of view of the subject of the study. An ethnography is a means to represent graphically and in writing the culture of a group. The word can thus be said to have a double meaning, which partly depends on whether it is used as a count noun or uncountable. The resulting field study or a case report reflects the knowledge and the system of meanings in the lives of a cultural group. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. Destructive Emotions: A Scientific Dialogue with the Dalai Lama: Imagine sitting with the Dalai Lama in his private meeting room with a small group of world-class scientists and philosophers. The talk is lively and fascinating as these leading minds grapple with age-old questions of compelling contemporary urgency. Daniel Goleman, the internationally bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence, provides the illuminating commentary—and reports on the breakthrough research this historic gathering inspired. The Californians:A soap opera parody featuring Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, and others as wealthy blondes with Valley Girl accents (Valleyspeak) exaggerated almost to the point of incoherence. Each "episode" opens with the Soapnet logo with Bill Hader's voice-over announcement: "The Californians". The title sequence shows the pouring of a glass of white wine and some beach front property, with an acoustic guitar lick and chords that imitate America's "Ventura Highway" on the soundtrack. NYC vs. LA:A few years ago, I received a frantic call from a friend. For months he’d been mulling over whether to stay in New York or give acting a go in Los Angeles. “I love New York,” he said. “But I want to do more TV and film.” Smartphone zombie: A smartphone zombie is a pedestrian who walks slowly and without attention to their surroundings because they are focused upon their smartphone. This is now a significant safety hazard as distracted pedestrians cause accidents. Cities such as Chongqing and Antwerp have introduced special lanes for smartphone users to help direct and manage them. Limbic System: The limbic system is a set of brain structures located on both sides of the thalamus, immediately beneath the cerebrum. It has also been referred to as the paleomammalian cortex. It is not a separate system but a collection of structures from the telencephalon, diencephalon, and mesencephalon. It includes the olfactory bulbs, hippocampus, hypothalamus, amygdala, anterior thalamic nuclei, fornix, columns of fornix, mammillary body, septum pellucidum, habenular commissure, cingulate gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, entorhinal cortex, and limbic midbrain areas. Sound In Space:You’ve heard it before: In space, no one can hear you scream. That’s because sound doesn’t move through a vacuum, and everyone knows that space is a vacuum. The thing is, that’s not completely true. The Orchard: As a pioneering music, film and TV dis­tri­b­u­tion company and top-ranked video network, The Orchard has local reps in more than 30 global markets.

Tardigrade:Tardigrades (/ˈtɑːrdɪˌɡreɪd/; also known colloquially as water bears, or moss piglets) are a phylum of water-dwelling, eight-legged, segmented micro-animals. Cosmo Sheldrake - Tardigrade Song:Cosmo Sheldrake is a 28 year old multi-instrumentalist musician, composer and producer. He released his first single ‘The Moss’ in 2014, which was followed by the ‘Pelicans We’ EP in 2015. This April he will release his debut album ‘The Much Much How How and I’ on Transgressive Records. Much of his work is to do with play, nonsense and the sonorous environment. Sound and Light Differences:Sound you hear, light you see. Sound is a mechanical wave whereas light is an electromagnetic one. Light travels at 300.000.000 m/s meanwhile sound travels at 353 m/s. Light does not need a medium to travel to, sound does. They are both waves but only light is also a particle. Wave Particle Duality of Light:Wave–particle duality is the concept in quantum mechanics that every particle or quantic entity may be partly described in terms not only of particles, but also of waves. It expresses the inability of the classical concepts "particle" or "wave" to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects. As Albert Einstein wrote: “It seems as though we must use sometimes the one theory and sometimes the other, while at times we may use either. We are faced with a new kind of difficulty. We have two contradictory pictures of reality; separately neither of them fully explains the phenomena of light, but together they do.” Using infrared light to help deaf people hear and blind people see:Normally, implants use electrical signals to help people hear and see. However, University of Utah bioengineer Richard Rabbitt has discovered a different way to activate cells. Rabbitt figured out how to use infrared light to send signals to the brain. Instead of using electrical signals, pulses of invisible wavelengths activate nearby nerve cells and communicate with the brain.

Schrodinger's Cat:is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. The scenario presents a cat that may be simultaneously both alive and dead, a state known as a quantum superposition, as a result of being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. The thought experiment is also often featured in theoretical discussions of the interpretations of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger coined the term Verschränkung (entanglement) in the course of developing the thought experiment. Free will:Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded. THE PHYSICS OF FREE WILL: “You’re playing a game of pool. You line up your cue stick behind the cue ball. You practice your stroke…one…two…three… On the fourth stroke, you follow through and the cue stick makes contact. If we could stop time in this moment, we could predict with reasonable certainty the outcome of your shot. The cue stick determines the path of the cue ball. The path of the cue ball determines if and how it will hit the target ball. How it hits the target ball determines the path of both, and whether either will reach a pocket.” Viking Funeral:  Norse funerals, or the burial customs of Viking Age North Germanic Norsemen (early medieval Scandinavians), are known both from archaeology and from historical accounts such as the Icelandic sagas, Old Norse poetry, and probably from the account of Ahmad ibn Fadlan. The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life:  Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside. Gene p53: p53, also known as TP53 or tumor protein (EC :2.7.1.37) is a gene that codes for a protein that regulates the cell cycle and hence functions as a tumor suppression. It is very important for cells in multicellular organisms to suppress cancer. P53 has been described as "the guardian of the genome", referring to its role in conserving stability by preventing genome mutation (Strachan and Read, 1999). The name is due to its molecular mass: it is in the 53 kilodalton fraction of cell proteins.

Ascribe vs subscribe:Ascribe and subscribe are two words that are very similar in pronunciation and spelling, but have two different meanings. We’ll examine the difference between ascribe and subscribe, their meanings and origin. We’ll also look at a few examples of their use in sentences. Edward Bernais: Edward Louis Bernays (/bərˈneɪz/; German: [bɛɐ̯ˈnaɪs]; November 22, 1891 − March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as "the father of public relations".[2] Bernays was named one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century by Life. He was the subject of a full length biography by Larry Tye called The Father of Spin (1999) and later an award-winning 2002 documentary for the BBC by Adam Curtis called The Century of the Self. More recently, Bernays is noted as the great-uncle of Netflix co-founder, Marc Randolph. Whitney Houston Documentary: An in-depth look at the life and music of Whitney Houston.

In the first part of the show, the guys quickly review some common metaphors used in our everyday language. “Time is money,” “life is a journey,” etc. Tim quotes again from George Lakoff saying that in every metaphor, there are elements contained within a metaphor. For example, in the “life is a journey” metaphor, there is embedded vocabulary like viewing people as “companions” and viewing obstacles as “bumps in the road.” Tim posits four main metaphors in the Bible: God is a dryland/mountain/rock. Waters are danger/evil/chaos. Humans are either at peace or at war with animals. The Garden of Eden river and the Tree of Life. In part two, the guys begin to break down the first metaphor listed above. Why is God thought of as “dryland?” To find out, Tim and Jon dive into Genesis 1 and 2, outlining creation. Tim says the imagery found later in the Old Testament is rooted in imagery in Genesis 1 and 2. For example, in Genesis 15, “you plant them in the mountain of your inheritance” shows that the Hebrews viewed their cosmic mountain Garden of Eden as paradise, and the Jewish temple is considered the symbol of paradise, which is man in communion with God. Jon makes a comment about a Fuller Projection map. This is an alternative geographic map of the world that lays out the continents in a different order. The guys discuss how different points of view lead to different thoughts and imagery used in a person’s worldview. In part three, Tim outlines the imagery in Joel 2 and Psalm 48. Here the writer(s) uses some of the imagery originally found in Genesis (holy hill, holy mountain, citadels, the city). Jon asks how critical the imagery of God as a rock/fortress/refuge is in the Bible. Tim points out that these images are fundamental to the Hebrew worldview. To prove his point, Tim does a quick word search and finds 78 hits of the words rock, fortress, and refuge in just the book of Psalms! Tim crystalizes the thought by saying the ideal state of humanity is in a relationship with God, working in a stable garden that acts as a fortress or mountain in which all of humanity can securely dwell.

Broad interpretation of artists, anyone who does creative or critical thinking work. 01:24 – There’s a surprising amount of drug-use in this book, lots of alcohol, and not sleeping. On the one hand this seemed undisciplined, but on the other these people did have very regular schedules. There was discipline to keep these activities in a well-worn groove. 01:53 – A hangover can make it easier to write – your brain can be more focused. In some ways it’s like the opposite of being caffeinated. 03:10 – The book has an interesting layout, there’s no attempt at narrative, each chapter is about a new person’s routine. 03:54 – Taleb keeps no routine, he doesn’t even use a calendar. 04:00 – Small gripe with books like this as these are idealized and narrativized versions of these rituals. None of them get drunk and yell at people on Twitter. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re only true 20-50% of the time. 04:55 – Problem with a lot of the lifestyle guru type people. They don’t do all of that stuff everyday. Except Jocko, he’s never overslept in the last 15 years. His morning routine seems to be the same wherever he is. 06:02 – Maintaining a normal schedule when you travel across time zones helps you adapt way faster. The minute you go back to your hotel you’ll crash, it’s game over! Jet lag is a strange tiredness, especially if you drink coffee, like you’re wired and drunk at the same time. 08:00 – Questioning whether you can save up a store of sleep for a rainy day. Apparently you can’t front load it, but when you get into debt you need to pay it back! 08:46 – Types of polyphasic sleep. Buckminster Fuller developed dymaxion sleep, he did it for two years and he’s the only one who’s ever been able to do it. 5-10% of the population legitimately need less sleep. Everyone else thinks they’re in that group but they’re not. 09:05 – When they tried one study on polyphasic sleep the subject just crashed and they could not wake him up. 11:43 – Is it quote or quotation? Don’t want to anger the grammar people! 11:55 – Download all of our episodes to find out whether one of our team is part of the alt-right. 12:58 – Auden was popping Benzedrine all the time. He regarded it as a “labor saving device,” a daily multivitamin. In the mental kitchen alongside alcohol, coffee and tobacco. 13:40 – Were these people great producers because of these habits or despite them? Question of whether the live-fast, die-young lifestyle enhances genius. 16:22 – Personal experiences and use of some drugs. Coffee for work and productivity, micro-dosing LSD for the same. Marijuana for an after wine session. Fear of getting hooked with tobacco vs alcohol. 18:34 – Ritalin/Aterol for effortless full-speed ahead concentration. 20:12 – Doctors overprescribe Aterol – 90% of people taking it don’t need it. It’s very hard to quit, people get frustrated at never hitting the same level of quality. In some ways similar to steroids. 22:26 – The Renaissance happened when people stopped drinking beer all day and switched to coffee. 22:36 – Drinking habits around the world. Beer used to be brewed as water wasn’t safe to drink. They would steep the same grains up to four times. In Asia they would drink tea all day, which is probably why they were historically more productive than Europe. 24:55 – In sushi bars in Tokyo they have a tap of green tea. In Germany they give you beer, Americans drink water and now they’re more productive because they’re hydrated. 25:53 – Tangent – Most people who are in America now, their ancestors were the risk-takers. The people who took the initiative to leave behind everything they knew. So culturally this is ingrained. 26:59 – People used booked calls to let family on the other side of the world know they were alive before Skype. 27:40 – The history of pokes on Facebook – they would let a non-friend see your profile for a few days without actually becoming your friend. 29:10 – A significant number of people featured in the book seemed to have OCD, they were trying to control chaos. Beethoven’s coffee had to have 60 beans a cup. Kant had an extremely orderly schedule. The clock tower in town stayed on time less passionately than Kant. 32:00 – Everyone has odd habits, especially artists who spend a lot of time in their heads. 32:21 – The general impression of Benjamin Franklin is “early to bed, early to rise” but he seemed to set his 13 virtues up as goals rather than things he’d achieved. Comparing Ben Franklin to Tim Ferriss. People disapprove of others not following their own advice to the letter. 35:53 – Controversy when one updates his opinions. 36:16 – It’s surprising how few hours people worked – the bulk of the creative work was 5-6 hours a day, max. Darwin was famous for having two 3 hour work blocks. It’s hard to do creative work for longer. But good for mental energy. 38:00 – Tangent. It’s hard to be spontaneous in New York. Phone calls are scheduled a week in advance.  Time management tips: set regular stand-ups, only book meetings at certain times. Color-code your calendar. 40:30 – Work environments are moving towards being more results orientated, moving away from people just sitting at their desks doing nothing. A relic of the production line. Schedule Tetris in large corporations. 43:26 – Hack. Schedule hour meetings for 40 minutes, or half hour meetings for 20 minutes. It forces people to condense. 44:58 – Data should make it easier for people to get paid based on productivity rather than time. For consulting jobs, it doesn’t make sense to charge based on time. Historically, time was the best way of measuring output and so this made sense. 47:43 – Education is also stuck in this time loop since it was originally influenced by factory organization. Most interesting ideas that end up leading somewhere come from play, from free time. 49:21 – After unsuccessfully trying for ten years in New York, Henry Miller had given up writing, when he finally wrote a novel in Paris it was published without editing, there’s sentences that just stop mid-way. Seeing from outside, it seems these creatives are able to follow a routine without anyone forcing them. 51:44 – Jordan Peterson says there’s no such thing as writer’s block. If you’re stuck it’s because you have run out of things to say, you need to unblock yourself. 53:10 – Sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, may make you feel much more energized. Sleeping in on the weekend it’s almost like changing time zones every five days. 56:41 – Giveaways are coming, sign up for the email list. 57:03 – To remember to do important things pin a piece of paper on a different piece of your clothing, a form of mnemonics. 58:15 – When you first wake up, that’s a different person. You have to find ways of tricking him into not hitting snooze. Routines and replacement can help you get past undesirable behavior. 59:04 – Sponsor time. Mushroom elixir from Four Sigmatic and bone broth from Kettle & Fire along with Perfecto Keto collagen. Use them to replace alcohol in the evening! 1:01:38 – Despite living in climate controlled environments, we still feel like it’s cold outside when it’s winter, even though it’s the same temperature where we are. 1:03:30 – Some people’s capacity for alcohol is so far beyond the average. If you’re regimented and disciplined you could physically drink a bottle of spirits a day. 1:07:15 – Sugar is like a mild form of cocaine. It’s a stimulant followed by a crash. Hormetic stressors are only “natural”. 1:09:20 – Psycho-active drugs don’t make your brain do things it can’t do, they mimic neural pathways. Maybe adaptation is down-regulating the amount of neurochemicals being released in response to the trigger. If you know, write in! 1:11:36 – Morning Working vs Night-time working theme. More of the creators were geared towards mornings but it wasn’t across the board. Evolutionarily, it doesn’t make sense for humans to want to work at night. 1:14:20 – Waking up hack. Trick yourself into getting up by telling yourself you can go back to bed in 30 minutes if you’re still tired. 1:14:45 – Wrap-up and sponsor time.

The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Eleanor Saitta on security countermeasures at the human level, the relationship between security and design, and understanding security design as a separate discipline.This week's episode features a special cross-over conversation from the O'Reilly Security Podcast, which you can find on Stitcher, iTunes, SoundCloud, or RSS. O'Reilly's Courtney Nash chats with Eleanor Saitta, a security architect at Etsy. They talk about the importance of thinking of security in a human context and the increasingly critical relationship between security and design.Here are a few highlights: Detecting fraudulant patterns at the human level Look at banking fraud and fraud detection systems. Although financial malware is a real issue, and we are seeing more and more people who end up with malware running on their phones that then attacks bank authenticators or logs into their account and makes transfers. These are starting to be very real issues, let alone credit card numbers and all this kind of stuff. The biggest way that those attacks are stopped isn't by preventing code from running on people's machines, it's by detecting fraudulent patterns and transfers at the human level, and cutting things out at business rule levels, and much higher levels. In the worst case, it's someone goes into a bank physically and talks to someone, and has a conversation. That's just as much a part of the security countermeasure set as any number of anti-banking Trojan, anti-malware projects are. The relationship between security and design That whole process of coming into understanding the high risk world a little bit more was really, in some ways, it was really challenging for me because I'd spent probably eight years, nine years at that point when I first started getting involved in that community, doing big enterprise security. To come into this community and to realize that actually I know very little about how to create better security outcomes for human beings was an interesting thing to learn midway through my career. What it made me do was go back and think a lot about the relationship between security and design, and realize that one of the things that we need to do when we're building systems for, at the time, I was mostly thinking about high-risk people, but I've realized that this applies to any system. We need to understand not just what that user is worried about, but what the countermeasures that they can use to cancel out their adversaries attacks are, because we're dealing with that design space much more than we are with the code space. Now, if we can find things at the code level that give us new capabilities in that design space, that's amazing. So, being able to get rid of classes of low-level bugs, so we can stop thinking about them—great, that's a huge capability for the design space and the architecture space. All of the different things that we can do with cryptography, as far as using it to reduce the kinds of attacks that people can be subject to and giving them new invariants the system can let them use. Great, amazing capabilities, but the reason why they're interesting is because of how they shift that design space, and that has to be the thing that starts driving everything. Security design as a separate discipline There's a conversation between architecture and requirements and design. There has to be. None of these can act independently, but the thing that we don't see, the thing that I really don't see in the security community yet, is an understanding of security design as really a separate discipline. This is literally what I'm spending my time doing right now.

The O’Reilly Security Podcast: Systems, design, and emergent social structures.In this episode, I talk with Eleanor Saitta, a security architect at Etsy. We talk about how security isn’t really about what happens to computers—it’s about what happens to the people using those systems; the relationship between design and security; and shifting the industry’s focus to think about security as a product of shared human outcomes.Here are some highlights: Security is about what happens to people, not machines No one cares about what code is running on this machine or who authorized it or anything like that, except to the extent that it affects some human being. Now, because in many cases we don't have other options that don't involve interacting with some human being, we effectively do really care about what code runs on the machines. Of course, I don't want to pretend that the low level doesn't matter. Starting from that high level is beneficial in its ability to teach us what we actually do care about in the low level systems, and to highlight different ways of defending against attacks, or understanding attacks, that we wouldn't necessarily see if we only looked at the code. The relationship between design and security One of the things we hear about is security architecture and security design, where architecture is the big-scale stuff, and design is the little fiddly details. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the things that your UX team might be doing—looking at business rules in systems, looking at service design. Again, not from the technical sense, but from the sense that this is a piece of bureaucracy or an organization that's going to be interacting with human beings. What are the services that this bureaucracy or organization provides to these human beings, and what are the touchpoints for those interactions? It's designed way up at that high level, not at the level of the technical systems themselves. Security people understand this whole set of tactics they use to stay safe, but they don't necessarily understand how their tactics relate to people’s lives and the position from which they're interacting; they just think they're pre-existing things in the world. There's a real challenge there around how you get security people to see the things that they're already doing as structures and tactics and design responses that can then be [re]designed again. Security as a product of shared human outcomes [Etsy] is a really different kind of security organization, where the goal is not to be at all adversarial. In fact, a lot of effort has gone into getting away from that adversarial relationship. I think that as soon as everybody understands that, "Hey, we're all working for this collective good outcome," it's actually much easier to stay in that mindset of, "let's get there. Let's make sure that we don't get too off course." As long as you've got security as the gatekeepers in the combat boots who are going to stomp all over everything, it's not going to work. You have to have a collaborative approach.
