We're joined by award-winning Actor/Producer Blair Underwood and Director/Producer/Author Joe McClean to talk about their new novel, Sins of Survivors, written by Joe and presented by Blair. The book brings Black Bottom back to beautiful and sweeping life through the story of The Carter family. Fictional brothers Jasper and Ben whose heart wrenching journey brings them north to Detroit during the Great Migration. The Carters take root, raise families and bloom into neighborhood kingpins in a once vibrant, but redlined area that was bulldozed in the 1950s to put in a freeway.Joe unpacks how his deep research and a love of overlooked history shaped the Carter dynasty story in which two very different but fiercely loyal brothers face a shifting landscape and the rippling impact of their shared trauma on the next generation. Black Bottom, once a hub of Black resilience and ingenuity under strict and brutal segregation becomes the perfect backdrop for a sweeping saga of survival and criminal enterprise.Blair shares how he chooses which projects to champion, he reflects on his own remarkable career (L.A. Law, Gattaca, Deep Impact, Sex and the City), and shares his Obama related history! Joe ponders his personal approach when writing screenplays vs. novels and shares a powerful story connecting the haunting legacy of “Strange Fruit” to our current political moment.We also explore the hidden history of Detroit's underworld, from its prohibition-era bootlegging routes to the layered decades of Black Bottom's rise and fall under so-called “urban renewal.”Crime, family bonds and cultural touchstones coalesce in this tightly written work of fiction that reflects the real struggles of black experiences, painting a vivid portrait of a unique time and place in our shared American history.In recommendations--Weezy: Stick, Apple TV+ SeriesFritz: Movie, Sunday Best on NetflixPath Points of Interest:Sins of Survivors by Joe McClean and Blair UnderwoodSins of Survivors Audiobook PreviewJoe McClean on WikipediaJoe McClean on InstagramBlair Underwood on WikipediaBlair Underwood on IMDBBlair Underwood on InstagramStickSunday Best - NetflixMedia Path Podcast

Simon & Schuster provided me with an advanced copy of the superb book After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People, scheduled for release on July 8, 2025. The University of Texas authors, Dean Spears and Michael Geruso, have written a mind-blowing book! It's my second favorite book of 2025! My favorite 2025 book is They're Not Gaslighting You. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-JfpjJRkok Podcast The Population Whimper When I was born, Paul R. Ehrlich's book, The Population Bomb, was a mega-bestseller. Although I never read the book, my generation believed the book's message that humanity is dangerously overpopulated. The book gave me one major reason not to have children. The book made intuitive sense, built on Thomas Malthus's observations, that if our population continues to expand, we will eventually hit a brick wall. However, Ehrlich, a Stanford biologist, made these stunningly wrong predictions in The Population Bomb: Mass Starvation in the 1970s and 1980s: The book opened with the statement, "The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now." England's Demise by 2000: He suggested that England would not exist by the year 2000 due to environmental collapse related to overpopulation. Devastation of Fish Populations by 1990: He predicted that all significant animal life in the sea would be extinct by 1990, and large areas of coastline would need to be evacuated due to the stench of dead fish. India's Famine: He predicted catastrophic food shortages in India in the 1990s that did not materialize. United States Food Rationing by 1984: He envisioned the U.S. rationing food by 1984. Instead of all this doom and gloom, here's what happened: we went from 3.5 billion (when Ehrich wrote his doomsday book) to 8 billion people today, most of whom are fat. Today, our biggest problem isn't famine but obesity. Dean Spears and Michael Geruso's new book should have been called The Population Whimper because it says the opposite of what The Population Bomb said. Forget a catastrophic demographic explosion. We're going to suffer a catastrophic demographic implosion. The graph on the cover of After the Spike sums up the problem: during a 200-year time period, the human population will have spiked to 10 billion and then experienced an equally dramatic fall. Three criticisms of After the Spike For a book packed with counterintuitive arguments, it's remarkable that I can only spot three flaws. Admittedly, these are minor critiques, as they will disappear if we stabilize below 10 billion. 1. Wildlife lost The authors correctly argue that the environment has been improving even as the human population has been growing rapidly. For example: Air and water are now cleaner than they were 50 years ago, when the population was half its current size. Our per capita CO2 consumption is falling. Clean energy production is at an all-time high. There's one metric that authors overlooked: wildlife. As the human population doubled, we've needed more space for growing food. This has led to a decrease in habitat, which is why biologists refer to the Anthropocene Extinction. While fish farms are efficient, overfishing continues. The Amazon gets denuded to make space for soy and cattle plantations. The loss of African wildlife habitats is acute, as the African population is projected to quadruple in this century. I imagine that the authors of After the Spike would counter: National parks didn't exist 200 years ago. Green revolutions and GMO foods have made the most productive farmers ever. De-extinction may restore extinct species. And they're correct. There are bright spots. However, as we approach 10 billion, wildlife will continue to suffer and be marginalized. The book should have mentioned that. Dean Spears and Michael Geruso would likely agree that if humans continue to grow nonstop, wildlife will continue to suffer. However, they aren't arguing for nonstop human expansion. They want stabilization. When you combine stabilization with technology (e.g., vertical farming and lab-grown animal products), we would reverse the downward trend in wildlife habitat. 2. Increased energy consumption Dean Spears and Michael Geruso celebrate humanity's progress in energy efficiency and productivity. However, they overlook these facts: 1. The Rebound Effect (Jevons Paradox): As energy efficiency improves, the cost of using energy services effectively decreases. This can lead to: Increased usage of existing services: For example, more efficient air conditioners might lead people to cool their homes to lower temperatures or for longer periods. More fuel-efficient cars might encourage more driving. Adoption of new energy-intensive activities: The increased affordability of energy services can enable entirely new consumption patterns that were previously too expensive to adopt. Think about the proliferation of data centers for AI and digital services, or the growth of electric vehicles. While individual electric vehicles (EVs) are more efficient than gasoline cars, the rapid increase in their adoption contributes to overall electricity demand. 2. Economic Growth and Rising Living Standards: Increased demand for energy services: As economies grow and incomes rise, people generally desire greater comfort, convenience, and a wider range of goods and services. This translates to greater demand for heating and cooling, larger homes, more personal transportation, more manufactured goods, and more leisure activities, all of which require energy. Industrialization and urbanization: Developing economies, in particular, are undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization. This involves massive construction, increased manufacturing, and the expansion of infrastructure, all of which are highly energy-intensive. Even with efficiency gains, the sheer scale of this growth drives up overall energy consumption. Emerging technologies: The growth of data centers, AI, and other digital technologies is leading to a significant increase in electricity demand. 3. Population Growth: While efficiency might improve per unit of output, the overall global population continues to grow. More people, even if individually more efficient, will inherently consume more energy in total. 4. Shifting Economic Structures: Some economies are shifting from less energy-intensive sectors (like agriculture) to more energy-intensive ones (like manufacturing or specific services). Even within industries, while individual processes might become more efficient, the overall scale of production can increase dramatically. 5. Energy Price and Policy Factors: Low energy prices: If energy remains relatively inexpensive (due to subsidies or abundant supply), the incentive for significant behavioral changes to reduce consumption might be diminished, even with efficient technologies available. Policy limitations: Although many countries have energy efficiency policies, their impact may be offset by other factors that drive demand. Conclusion: While technological advancements and efficiency measures reduce the energy intensity of specific activities, these gains are often outpaced by the aggregate increase in demand for energy services driven by economic growth, rising living standards, population increases, and the adoption of new, energy-intensive technologies and behaviors. The challenge lies in achieving a proper decoupling of economic growth from energy consumption, and ultimately, from carbon emissions. Humanity's per capita energy consumption has been steadily increasing with each passing century, a trend that is unlikely to change soon. Therefore, humans of the 26th century will consume far more energy than those of the 21st century. The authors of After the Spike would probably argue that in 2525, we'll be using a clean energy source (e.g., nuclear fusion), so it'll be irrelevant that our per capita energy consumption increases ten times. Again, short term, we're going in the wrong direction. However, in a stabilized world, we won't have a problem. 3. Designer babies The authors of After the Spike never addressed the potential impact that designer babies may have. I coined the term "Homo-enhanced" to address our desire to overcome our biological limitations. Couples are already using IVF to select the gender and eye color of their babies. Soon, we'll be able to edit and select for more complex traits such as height or even intelligence. It's easy to imagine a world like Gattaca, where parents collaborate with CRISPR-powered gene tools to create custom-made babies. One reason some people don't want to reproduce is that it's a crap shoot. Any parent who has more than one child will tell you that each of their children is quite different from the others. Given that they grow up in the same environment, it suggests that genetics is a decisive factor. Until now, we couldn't mold our children's DNA. Soon, we will. If we were to remove the lottery aspect of having a child and allow parents to design their children, perhaps there would be a baby boom. Dean Spears and Michael Geruso would probably argue that this is unlikely or centuries away from happening. We'll be descending the steep population slope long before we are homo-enhanced. One trillion humans in this millennium? In the Bulgaria chapter of The Hidden Europe, I observed that Bulgaria is depopulating faster than any other European country. Having peaked at 9 million in the late 1980s, a century later, it will be half that size. Despite that, in that chapter, I predicted that in 500 years, we'll have one trillion humans in the solar system, with at least 100 billion on Earth. This video explains how and why that may happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lJJ_QqIVnc Conclusion In 2075, will After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People look as stupid as The Population Bomb looks 50 years after publication? Does After the Spike make the same errors as The Population Bomb? Paul Ehrlich's underestimated technology and the continued collapse in fertility rates. As Dean Spears and Michael Geruso point out, fertility rates have been declining since they were first measured. Had Ehrlich extrapolated the trendline, he would have realized that our demographic collapse was imminent, not an explosion. Furthermore, technology solved many of the problems Ehrlich imagined. Is After the Spike making the same error? Fertility rates won't fall forever. They must stop. Otherwise, we'll become extinct. However, will fertility rates soar due to technology or some other reason? What could make our fertility rates return to three or more? Here are a few ideas: We master fusion energy, providing us with ultra-cheap energy and dramatically decreasing the cost of having children. Robots perform most jobs, leaving humans with ample time to raise large families. As the negative effects of depopulation start rippling across the world, a global cultural panic erupts, prompting people to prioritize reproduction. Homo-enhanced humans, merged with artificial general intelligence, decide to proliferate to dominate the planet. Vertical farms and lab-grown cultured meat improve the environment so dramatically that humans feel less guilty about having three or more children, and generous subsidies offset the costs. Admittedly, these scenarios are unlikely to occur during the next 50 years, so After the Spike won't become the joke that The Population Bomb became in 50 years. Still, I predict that Ehrlich's great-great-granddaughter will write The Population Bomb II: Thomas Malthus Will Be Right Someday. Verdict 10 out of 10 stars! Excerpts The excerpts below are from an advanced copy, which may have undergone edits. Hence, some of these excerpts may have been reworded or deleted in the final print. The reason I am quoting them is that even if the excerpts are removed in the final edition, they illustrate the book's overall message. It would be easy to think that fewer people would be better—better for the planet, better for the people who remain. This book asks you to think again. Depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges, nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. Despite what you may have been told, depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges like climate change. Nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. To the contrary, so much of the progress that we now take for granted sprang up in a large and interconnected society. Part I's big claim: No future is more likely than that people worldwide choose to have too few children to replace their own generation. Over the long run, this would cause exponential population decline. Whether depopulation would be good or bad depends on the facts and depends on our values. We ask about those facts and values, building up to an overall assessment: Part II and Part III's big claim: A stabilized world population would be better, overall, than a depopulating future. Part IV's big claim: Nobody yet knows how to stabilize a depopulating world. But humanity has made revolutionary improvements to society before— we can do it again if we choose. We won't ask you to abandon your concerns about climate change; about reproductive freedom and abortion access; or about ensuring safe, healthy, flourishing lives for everyone everywhere. We won't ask you to consider even an inch of backsliding on humanity's progress toward gender equity. We insist throughout that everyone should have the tools to choose to parent or not to parent. This book is not about whether or how you should parent. It's about whether we all should make parenting easier. In 2012, 146 million children were born. That was more than in any year of history to that point. It was also more than in any year since. Millions fewer will be born this year. The year 2012 may well turn out to be the year in which the most humans were ever born— ever as in ever for as long as humanity exists. Within three hundred years, a peak population of 10 billion could fall below 2 billion. The tip of the Spike may be six decades from today. For every 205 babies born, human biology, it turns out, would produce about 100 females. Average fertility in Europe today is about 1.5. That means the next generation will be 25 percent smaller than the last. Birth rates were falling all along. For as long as any reliable records exist, and for at least several hundred years while the Spike was ascending, the average number of births per woman has been falling, generation by generation. In the United States in the early 1800s, married white women (a population for whom some data were recorded) gave birth an average of seven times. If life expectancy doubles to 150 years, or quadruples to 300 years, couldn't that prevent the depopulating edge of the Spike? The surprising answer is no. The story of the Spike would stay the same, even if life expectancy quadrupled to three hundred years. In contrast, if adults' reproductive spans also changed, so people had, say, one or two babies on average over their twenties, thirties, and forties and then another one on average over their fifties, sixties, and seventies, then that would stop depopulation— but it would be because births changed, not because later-adulthood deaths changed. Where exactly should humanity stabilize? Six billion? Eight? Ten? Some other number? This book makes the case to stabilize somewhere. Exactly where will have to be a question for public and scientific debate. So the extra greenhouse gas emissions contributed by the larger population would be small, even under the assumption here that the future is bleak and we go on emitting for another century. The environmental costs of a new child are not zero. Not by a long shot. Not yet. But they are falling. Each new person who joins the ranks of humanity will add less CO2 than, well, you over your lifetime. Humanity could choose a future that's good, free, and fair for women and that also has an average birth rate of two. There is no inescapable dilemma. In that kind of future, people who want to parent would get the support that they need (from nonparents, from taxpayers, from everyone) to choose parenting. The most plausible way humanity might stabilize— and the only way this book endorses— is if societies everywhere work to make parenting better. Globally, we now produce about 50 percent more food per person than in 1961. “endogenous economic growth.” Endogenous means “created from the inside.” Ideas do not come from outside the economy. They come from us. Because scale matters, a depopulating planet will be able to fill fewer niches. A threat with a fixed cost: A threat has arisen that will kill all humans (however many) unless a large cost is paid to escape it (such as by deflecting an asteroid) within a certain time period. Could a kajillion lives ever be the best plan? That question goes beyond the practical question that this book is here to answer. Between our two families, we have had three live births, four miscarriages, and three failed IVF rounds. Parenting will need to become better than it is today. That's what we, your authors, hope and believe. The opportunity cost hypothesis: Spending time on parenting means giving up something. Because the world has improved around us, that “something” is better than it used to be. In no case is there evidence that more support for parents predicts more births. Nobody— no expert, no theory— fully understands why birth rates, everywhere, in different cultures and contexts, are lower than ever before. I hope these excerpts compel you to buy the book. If you're still undecided, consider that the book features numerous graphs and illustrations that will rewire your brain. Buy After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People.

What does it take to transform a 500-person staffing company and restore profitability while maintaining high engagement and renewed purpose? In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, you'll hear how one leader rebuilt culture and strengthened organizational performance through people-first leadership, without sacrificing values or authenticity. After joining the company as a trainee in 2001, Matthew Wragg eventually became CEO in 2022. In this conversation, he shares the inside story of the business transformation at Gattaca PLC: removing executive offices, tying leadership bonuses to employee engagement, and launching a new cultural framework that turns values into specific, observable behaviors. We also dive into his personal lessons from two decades in recruitment, including the wins and mistakes that shaped his approach to growth, leadership, and resilience. Episode Highlights [05:46] How Matthew got into recruitment and why he stayed with one company [14:23] From trainee to CEO: lessons in ambition and internal branding [22:00] The £30M deal they lost—and how they won it back [30:55] Using culture and values to improve employee engagement [46:01] Removing executive offices and linking pay to engagement scores [49:48] How “Changing Up the Game” became a strategic reset during COVID [52:18] Aligning the team around clear, behavioral definitions of company values [59:29] How Gattaca is thinking about AI adoption Losing a £30M Dealand Using It to Win Future Business Matthew shares how Gattaca lost a £30M contract despite having the experience, pricing, and capability. The reason? They didn't take the time to understand the client. He took responsibility, re-engaged with the customer over 12 months, and eventually won the deal back—this time at a 70% higher price. This loss prompted a shift in sales culture: more discovery, less assumption; more trust, less volume. It was a turning point in how Gattaca approached strategic selling. How Culture and Values Fueled Gattaca's Turnaround When Matthew stepped in as CEO, the company was struggling with flat growth and low engagement. His first move was to prioritize people. He eliminated glass offices to flatten hierarchy and increase visibility. He began weekly internal video updates and tied 10% of leadership compensation to employee engagement. He personally reviews hundreds of anonymous employee comments each month—starting with the negatives. Over two years, this helped shift Gattaca from 58% detractors to 58% promoters, even in a tough market. How Gattaca's “DNA Deck” Turned Culture into Performance To make values actionable, Gattaca launched a “DNA deck” that defines specific behaviors tied to each value. These are reviewed quarterly and fully integrated into performance management—alongside sales and effort metrics. One example: “Be brave enough to tell the truth, but kind enough to say it the right way.” Each principle includes examples of “what good looks like” so there's no ambiguity. No one can top-score on performance if their behavior doesn't align with the culture. Matthew Wragg – Bio & Contact Matthew Wragg is CEO of Gattaca PLC with 23+ years in recruitment. Starting as a trainee in 2001, he progressed through senior leadership roles before becoming CEO in 2022. He has led Gattaca through an organizational reset focused on purpose, vision, and values—prioritizing sustainable growth, employee engagement, and cultural clarity.

Az egy hét kimaradás oka szervezési probléma volt. Ezután azonban egy hosszabb szünet várható.Spoiler vége: 3:10:52Sziasztok,Ez itt a Vágatlan Verzió, három hetente jelentkező filmes podcast 94. epizódja. Most, hogy a világ kifordulni látszik önmagából, úgy döntöttünk, megvizsgáljuk a filmtörténet néhány disztópiáját, különös tekintettel arra, hogy milyen tanulságokat tartunk mára is érvényesnek belőlük. Beszélgetünk a génmanipuláció nem túl távoli lehetőségeiről, az emberen elhatalmasodó s őt felemésztő bürokráciáról, a totális államok és a média viszonyáról, a virtuális valóságról és a mesterségesség látszatvilágáról, végül pedig.Tartsatok velünk, és jó szórakozást!Tartalomjegyzék:0:00 – Bevezetés39:07 – Gattaca (1997)1:29:57 – Mátrix (1999)2:43:07 – Brazil (1985)3:14:16 – Az éhezők viadala (2012)Alternatív linkek:iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/hu/podcast/v%C3%A1gatlan-verzi%C3%B3/id1382751778Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/3OVfiTmsGL8iYljlRWZ8g3Social media:Discord: https://discord.gg/Kq9gDYDnaJFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/vagatlanverziopodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vagatlanverzio/E-mail:vagatlanverzio.podcast@gmail.comLinkek, források:Az AI és a tudományos felfedezések:https://qubit.hu/2024/12/09/mindent-atformal-a-mesterseges-intelligencia-de-igy-milyen-tudomanyos-karrierrol-almodhatnak-a-mai-gimnazistakHaikyuu ajánlás:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3398540/Speedrun csatorna:https://www.youtube.com/c/SummoningSaltKen Lee – a gyorsuló ember:https://www.youtube.com/@kenleeoriginal/videosUri Geller és Pokémon:https://www.gsplus.hu/jatekvilag/mar-biztosan-visszater-a-pokemon-amit-uri-geller-20-even-at-uldozott-321868.htmlNick Boström szimulációs argumentuma:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesisVektor – a Mátrix szinkronparódia:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgTP84qFmhIJéghegyek népe hangoskönyv:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD2OfqrwjvYKulturális forrásaink (minden áthallás jogos, de nem szándékos) :Önkényes Mérvadó, A hét mesterlövésze, Retroschock, Pál Feri, Jordan PetersonKülön köszönet:Tamásnak, az intróban nyújtott hangjáért!https://bogyopeter.tumblr.com/ - Péternek, a csodálatos artworkért!http://eper.elte.hu/ - Az EPER Rádió stúdiójának a felvétel lehetőségéért!Köszi, hogy meghallgattatok!Ádám, Ákos, Alex____________________________________________________________podcast, film, kritika, elemzés, kibeszélő, bemutató, disztópia, scifi, utópia, virtuális valóság, génmanipuláció, Terry Gilliam, Wachowski, Suzanne Collins

Join us as we discuss the 1997 sci fi film GATTACA with our pal Evan on Left of the Projector! From LoP: 'In this episode, we analyze the 1997 sci-fi film Gattaca, directed by Andrew Niccol, alongside Wythe Marshall and Chris Pickett from the "Why We Roll" podcast. We examine the film's portrayal of a future shaped by genetic engineering and social stratification, contrasting 'valids' and 'in-valids' in a society that discriminates based on genetics. Our discussion highlights the film's casting choices and the moral ambivalence surrounding its individualistic narrative, embodied by Vincent's journey to overcome systemic barriers. We also reflect on the film's aesthetic and its critique of reliance on genetics, acknowledging its limitations in addressing classism.' Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Old Legs and I rave about Ryan Coogler's new original southern gothic horror film Sinners and the sci-fi classic Gattaca.
Xander makes his third appearance on CooperTalk. He started off playing minor roles in 1981, with appearances in Remington Steele, Miami Vice, Moonlighting and countless other series. Much later, he also appeared on The X-Files, CSI, ER and Law & Order. As for the big screen, he counts Sid & Nancy, North Country, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, A Few Good Men, Apollo 13, Gattaca, The Rock, Air Force One, Spawn, Amistad, and Timecode as some of his credentials. In 2001, he bagged a recurring spot as George Mason, head of the Counter Terrorist Unit on the hit series 24. His character was killed off in season 2. In 2009, he was cast on the NBC sci-fi series Day One, which follows apartment residents who survive an unknown worldwide catastrophe. From 2010 to 2012, he starred on The CW's Nikita as the villain Percy. In the following years, he was seen on Being Human, Longmire, Louder than Words, Salem, The Mentalist, Justified, 12 Monkeys, Aquarius and numerous other shows. Most recently he played Gregory in The Walking Dead, co-starred in LAbrynth with Johnny Depp and Forrest Whitaker, and stars in No Address.
The Second Part in our Brothers Brought Low Trilogy How could there ever be a cult classic for a wide release starring Uma Thurman? Wouldn't everyone pause to gaze at her beauty and charisma? Of course as I type up these very show notes I'm reminded of finally catching up with EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES and being horrified at what my favorite screen goddess did which nearly RUINED the career of one Gus Van Sant before he could make his 1998 classic PSYCHO. But as the chosen film (I'm getting to it) GATTACA shows us... nobody's perfect. Even Ethan Hawke. Especially Ethan Hawke when he shares the screen with Jude Law. Enjoy!

What if a single number, derived from your DNA, could predict your income, education level or even who you're likely to marry? In his new book “The Social Genome,” Princeton University sociologist Dalton Conley explores the science behind how our genes are shaping our society in ways that are both profound and unsettling.Conley explains how our genes, and the genes of those around us, are influencing our lives in ways we barely understand—from fertility clinics selecting embryos based on genetic traits to the rise of “genetic sorting” in everything from dating to zip codes. He also debunks the idea of nature versus nurture, revealing how deeply intertwined they truly are.Are we heading toward a future of genetically coded inequality? And what policies and conversations are urgently needed to ensure we don't cross the line from science into dystopia?

Gattaca is a 1997 dystopian science fiction classic. But what makes it dystopian and how does it warn us about the future?
We take on Longlegs! Osgood Perkins, the son of Anthony Perkins, directs Longlegs! Nicolas Cage stars as Longlegs! Blair Underwood of Deep Impact and Gattaca fame also stars. Maika Monroe from It Follows stars as the FBI agent pursuing Longlegs! How does Longlegs compare with films such as Psycho, Seven, and Silence of the Lambs?Plot: In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.
We scrapped plans to review Gattaca once we realized we were both going to see The Monkey in theaters. We also discuss Merlin's Shop Of Mystical Wonders from MST3K.

This week we talk about the dangers of genetic manipulation with 1997s thriller Gattaca!
Sorti en 1997 et réalisé par Andrew Niccol, "Bienvenue à Gattaca" (Gattaca en version originale) est considéré par la NASA comme le film de science-fiction le plus réaliste de tous les temps. Cette distinction repose sur la plausibilité scientifique du scénario, qui aborde un futur où le génie génétique joue un rôle central dans la société humaine. Contrairement à d'autres films de science-fiction centrés sur des technologies lointaines ou futuristes, "Bienvenue à Gattaca" explore des avancées qui pourraient devenir réalité dans un avenir proche.L'intrigue du film se déroule dans un monde où les enfants sont conçus en laboratoire, permettant aux parents de choisir les caractéristiques génétiques idéales pour garantir la santé, l'intelligence et les aptitudes physiques optimales. Ceux qui naissent de manière naturelle, sans intervention génétique, sont désavantagés et subissent une discrimination institutionnalisée. Le personnage principal, Vincent Freeman, est un "invalide", c'est-à-dire un individu né sans sélection génétique, qui rêve d'intégrer Gattaca, une prestigieuse institution spatiale. Pour contourner les barrières génétiques, il usurpe l'identité d'un individu génétiquement "supérieur", soulevant ainsi des questions éthiques fondamentales sur le déterminisme génétique et le libre arbitre.Ce que la NASA a particulièrement apprécié dans "Bienvenue à Gattaca", c'est son approche réaliste des avancées en biotechnologie et en eugénisme. Avec les progrès actuels dans la manipulation du génome humain, comme la technologie CRISPR-Cas9, il est désormais envisageable de modifier l'ADN pour prévenir certaines maladies héréditaires et optimiser les caractéristiques humaines. Le film soulève des préoccupations sur l'émergence potentielle d'une société divisée entre "génétiquement privilégiés" et "naturels", ce qui résonne fortement avec les débats bioéthiques actuels.En plus de son réalisme scientifique, le film se distingue par son atmosphère épurée et son style rétro-futuriste, mettant en avant une vision dystopique où les progrès scientifiques conduisent à de nouvelles formes de discrimination. L'absence de technologies extravagantes renforce l'impression que ce futur est à portée de main, rendant le récit d'autant plus crédible.En conclusion, "Bienvenue à Gattaca" offre une réflexion percutante sur les dérives possibles du génie génétique, en s'appuyant sur des fondements scientifiques solides. Sa reconnaissance par la NASA témoigne de la pertinence de ses questionnements et de sa capacité à anticiper les défis éthiques et sociaux liés aux avancées biotechnologiques modernes.

Está con nosotros Ramón Valero, más conocido como Un Técnico Preocupado. Bienvenido a Entrevistas desde Eleusis. El motivo de esta entrevista es la publicación de tus dos libros: Ojos bien abiertos: Análisis de Eyes Wide Shut y Blasco Ibáñez Desvelado. Stanley Kubrick, un cineasta de culto con solo 13 películas, vivió entre 1928 y 1999. Por su parte, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, escritor español de fama internacional, vivió entre 1867 y 1928. ¿Por qué elegiste analizar Eyes Wide Shut en lugar de otra película de Kubrick? 001 La verdad es que había visto esa película hace ya mucho tiempo, quizás incluso antes de mi despertar, probablemente en 2003 o por ahí. En aquel entonces, me pareció tediosa, difícil de entender. La percibí extremadamente lenta, confusa y enrevesada. Creo que me sucedió lo mismo que les pasa al 99% de las personas que se enfrentan a ese film sin conocer el contexto: no entienden que fue la decimotercera y última película del director, estrenada de manera póstuma, y que él mismo la consideraba su obra cumbre. Sin embargo, esta valoración no fue compartida ni por la crítica ni por el público. De hecho, si la película no terminó siendo un rotundo fracaso económico, se debió en gran parte a la participación de la entonces pareja de moda, Cruise-Kidman. Una gran cantidad de espectadores se sintió atraída únicamente por las escenas sugerentes protagonizadas por la actriz australiana y otras bellísimas mujeres que aparecen en el film. Menciono esto para poner en perspectiva lo especial que resulta haber elegido analizar esta película, sobre todo si consideramos que formó parte de la cuarta entrega de los análisis de cine que realizamos en nuestro grupo, al que llamamos Es Clave, en homenaje al icónico programa La Clave. Cuando decidimos estudiarla, ya había despertado cierto interés en círculos de conspiración debido al ritual central que aparece en la trama. Además, habíamos leído algunos artículos que iban más allá de la típica crítica cinematográfica, sugiriendo que la película escondía un significado mucho más profundo tras su aparente superficie. Así que nos propusimos el reto de analizarla desde nuestro enfoque como buscadores de la Verdad. Nuestro método de trabajo siempre sigue una estructura. Primero, cada uno ve la película de forma individual, anotando los detalles que considera interesantes o que podrían pasar desapercibidos. Luego, organizamos una proyección conjunta, en la que pausamos la película en puntos clave para comentar y debatir nuestras observaciones, intentando esclarecer juntos los posibles mensajes ocultos o simbólicos. En este caso particular, además, vimos previamente los dos magníficos vídeos de Pedro Bustamante sobre este film, lo que nos aportó una perspectiva muy enriquecedora. Por lo general, antes de elegir una película para analizar, suelo proponer cinco títulos, que luego sometemos a votación para determinar cuál será el seleccionado. Algunas de las películas que hemos considerado en el pasado incluyen: Benji contra el crimen, Cube 2, 12 monos, Ghost in the Shell, American Ultra, Lucy, Prisoners, Ellos viven (They Live), Gattaca, Blade Runner o El destino de Júpiter. Sin embargo, en el caso de esta obra de Kubrick, no hicimos ninguna votación. Ya sabíamos de antemano que era una película que encerraba mucho más de lo que parecía a simple vista, lo que la convertía en una elección incuestionable. ¿Qué despertó tu interés por Vicente Blasco Ibáñez: su afiliación a la masonería, su conocimiento de La Araña (la Compañía de Jesús), o algún otro aspecto de su vida y obra? 002 No me consideraba, ni mucho menos, un admirador ferviente del escritor valenciano, pero tampoco un detractor. Sabía que había sido masón, aunque nunca había profundizado en su obra o en su figura más allá de las generalidades conocidas. Fue otro buscador de la verdad, Toni Marco, quien se propuso desentrañar todo lo que había tras esta figura clave, cuya trayectoria abarcó los siglos XIX y XX y dejó una huella profunda en la historia. Toni había crecido familiarizado con Blasco Ibáñez, ya que poseía en casa una edición completa de sus obras desde pequeño. Durante casi dos años, estuvo recopilando información sobre el autor con el objetivo de desarrollar un episodio para un podcast que aún no ha visto la luz, titulado El hilo de Ariadna. Su intención era plasmar la vida y obra de Blasco, pero, poco a poco, lo que empezó siendo un hilo de investigación se convirtió en un ovillo enredado y, finalmente, en un auténtico laberinto donde la coherencia parecía inalcanzable. Un día, Toni me envió un gigantesco archivo PDF que contenía cientos de enlaces. Cada uno conducía a otros documentos: artículos, entrevistas, fragmentos de sus libros, notas, análisis, y una interminable colección de referencias. Era una maraña inmensa, intrincada hasta el punto de que resultaba casi imposible encontrar un camino claro para comprender algo en conjunto. Me tomó más de dos semanas montar un enorme rompecabezas en mi mente, organizando cada pieza hasta tener un esquema funcional. Solo entonces pude iniciar el arduo trabajo de lectura e investigación en profundidad. Me sumergí en decenas de textos, libros descatalogados encontrados en viejas bibliotecas, algunos de ellos censurados y prácticamente inhallables, como Tartarin revolucionario. También revisé tesis doctorales, vídeos de archivo, y, sobre todo, periódicos de la época. Mientras avanzaba en esta labor, trazaba mentalmente una imaginaria línea roja, como el hilo que Ariadna tendió para no perderse en el laberinto del Minotauro. Fue en ese proceso donde descubrí que, sorprendentemente, nadie había unificado todos estos datos ni los había presentado al público de forma completa y crítica. El enfoque habitual hacia Blasco Ibáñez seguía siendo el de una veneración superficial, anclada en lugares comunes y alabanzas, pero sin una mirada más profunda que conectara todos los aspectos de su vida y obra. Lo que finalmente revelamos superaba con creces las opiniones de sus contemporáneos, incluidos los escritores de la Generación del 98, de la cual fue apartado. También iba más allá de las críticas feroces de detractores como el periodista que firmaba bajo el seudónimo de El Caballero Audaz. Y, por supuesto, trascendía las supuestas disputas con la Iglesia, que en realidad se reveló como una de las patas de la estructura que lo impulsó a las altas esferas de la literatura mundial. A medida que avanzábamos, entendimos cómo funcionaba esa compleja maquinaria hierogámica y sacrificial a la que se refiere Pedro Bustamante. Blasco Ibáñez, lejos de ser una figura independiente o aislada, era una pieza clave, una rueda más dentro de un engranaje mayor que operaba en las sombras. En Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick presenta una crítica a las élites y sus dinámicas de poder. ¿Encuentras paralelismos entre esta visión y la forma en que Blasco Ibáñez retrata las estructuras de poder de su época? 003 El genio neoyorquino, Stanley Kubrick, logró algo único en su filmografía: mostrar sin mostrar, desvelar un mundo oculto pero solo para aquellos que supieran mirar más allá de las apariencias. En su obra póstuma, Eyes Wide Shut, construyó un complejo entramado simbólico donde nada es lo que parece. Por contraste, Blasco Ibáñez, aunque reconocido en su tiempo como un escritor y político audaz, se limitó a servir a los poderes fácticos, adoptando una postura supuestamente de izquierdas que, al ser analizada con detenimiento, revela contradicciones flagrantes. Digo “supuestamente” porque, al examinar su vida y su obra, queda claro que decía una cosa mientras hacía exactamente la contraria. Esto fue algo que Luis García Berlanga dejó en evidencia de forma magistral en su miniserie de dos capítulos sobre Blasco, donde la hipocresía del escritor valenciano se expone sin ambages. Hay momentos reveladores, como cuando pasa de viajar en tercera clase a primera para evitar incomodidades en el tren que lo lleva a un pequeño pueblo, donde apenas dedica unos minutos a dar un discurso apresurado. Otro ejemplo es su actitud despectiva hacia los pobres en una escena que representa un duelo con el teniente Alestuey, o su cómoda relación con las élites, como su presencia junto al rey Alfonso XIII en casa de Sorolla. Quizás el caso más emblemático sea la visita de Jaime de Borbón, aspirante al trono, a su residencia en Mentón, lo que demuestra cómo un supuesto republicano no tenía reparos en confraternizar con monarquías y nobles, siempre que estuvieran fuera de la vista del pueblo llano. En cada uno de estos episodios, queda patente la distancia entre el Blasco Ibáñez público, crítico con las instituciones tradicionales, y el privado, que buscaba activamente entrar en los círculos que tanto criticaba. Así como Kubrick cuidaba cada detalle en Eyes Wide Shut, asegurándose de que no hubiera nada al azar en el metraje, nosotros encontramos un patrón similar en la vida de Blasco. Cada gesto y decisión parece calculado para proyectar una imagen pública que ocultara su verdadera naturaleza. Esto fue algo que exploramos a fondo en la serie de diez capítulos que realizamos para nuestro proyecto Es Clave, convirtiéndose en el sexto análisis de nuestro grupo. El paralelismo entre Kubrick y Blasco es inevitable en este sentido: mientras uno construyó una obra deliberadamente críptica para quienes quisieran descifrarla, el otro construyó una vida donde las contradicciones eran tan visibles que, a pesar de su aparente claridad, invitaban a un análisis mucho más profundo. Blasco, como dije, solo aparentaba estar enfrentado con la derecha, con los reyes o con las instituciones tradicionales. En realidad, su carrera estuvo marcada por la búsqueda de aceptación en esos mismos círculos que decía despreciar. Criticaba de cara al público mientras, en privado, se aseguraba de beneficiarse de las relaciones y los privilegios que estas conexiones le proporcionaban. Es por eso que decidí titular mi libro Blasco Ibáñez desvelado. Mi intención fue clara: retirar el velo de mentiras y medias verdades que han envuelto su figura durante décadas, elevándolo casi a la categoría de un semidiós intocable. Al desentrañar su verdadero rostro, mostramos no solo sus logros, sino también sus sombras y sus contradicciones, ofreciendo una visión más completa, menos idealizada y mucho más real. Tanto Kubrick como Blasco Ibáñez parecen emplear una narrativa dual: una narrativa superficial y profana, y otra más oculta, cargada de simbolismo, que revela una realidad subyacente. ¿Puedes compartir ejemplos de cómo cada autor expone y revela este "mundo oculto" para quienes tienen los ojos bien abiertos? 004 La película se titula Eyes Wide Shut, que en español significa Ojos bien cerrados. Inspirándome en ello, decidí nombrar mi libro Ojos bien abiertos, con la intención de que su lectura sirva para abrir los ojos de los lectores y permitirles descubrir todo lo que la película revela a quienes tengan la capacidad y la voluntad de verlo. Este ejercicio de análisis nos lleva a explorar un film que, a pesar de ser una obra maestra, ha pasado desapercibido para el gran público. Se trata de un testamento cinematográfico que desvela cómo una élite psicopatocrática controla el mundo desde las sombras. Para la mayoría de las personas, esta última obra de Stanley Kubrick no es más que una crítica superficial y anodina hacia los poderes ocultos, salpicada por algunas escenas que muestran a un grupo selecto de esta élite participando en rituales sexuales. En el mundo del cine, a menudo se la categoriza como un thriller erótico o un drama romántico. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Nuestro análisis va mucho más allá de lo que simplemente se ve en pantalla. Nos adentramos en las capas más profundas del metraje, desentrañando los significados ocultos y las complejas simbologías que el director dejó deliberadamente para ser descubiertas solo por quienes se atrevieran a buscar. Como explica Michel Ciment en su magnífico libro Kubrick: Edición definitiva: “El título mismo es una clave para entrar en este universo en trampantojo; suena familiar pero es una trampa: nunca los ojos se han calificado «grandes cerrados». Lo mismo que el primer plano de la película que ofrece brevemente a la mirada la desnudez de una mujer es seguido inmediatamente por un fundido en negro que nos la arrebata apenas entrevista, preludiando las frustraciones venideras. El fundido (con los habituales travellings hacia atrás) es una de las grandes figuras de estilo recurrentes en Eyes Wide Shut, expresando acertadamente ese balanceo, esencial de la película: ebriedad, pérdida de conciencia, desvanecimiento, sueños. Y la Steadicam de Kubrick encuentra en la fiesta de Ziegler las volutas de la cámara de un Ophuls, tan admirado por Kubrick en su juventud y él también aficionado a Schnitzler (Liebelei, La ronda) y a Zweig (Carta de una desconocida). Pero la embriaguez de la pareja que baila, Alice y su seductor húngaro, es el preludio de vértigos mucho más peligrosos.” Existen decenas de libros que analizan esta película, como el de Ciment, pero ninguno de ellos profundiza en aspectos menos evidentes, como las referencias al ciclo metónico que Kubrick incorpora de manera magistral. Por ejemplo, en el minuto 2:08:03 de la película, Mandy, en la sala de autopsias, se encuentra en la cámara frigorífica número 19. Los números, como es característico en las obras de Kubrick, jamás están al azar. Este detalle nos remite al simbolismo del número 19 en astronomía, conocido como número áureo, que marca un año dentro del ciclo metónico, un período de 19 años que sincroniza los ciclos lunares y solares con un margen de error mínimo. Este descubrimiento, atribuido a Metón de Atenas en el año 432 a.C., fue celebrado por los atenienses como un avance revolucionario y quedó inmortalizado en letras doradas en el templo de Minerva. En la película, este número adquiere una dimensión arquetípica, evocando la escena de los cuentos clásicos en la que el beso despierta a la princesa, rompiendo maldiciones y simbolizando el amor verdadero. Aquí, el número 19 no solo alude al ciclo astronómico, sino que también sugiere una conexión con la trascendencia y la transformación. Por otro lado, si miramos a Blasco Ibáñez, encontramos paralelismos inquietantes con los temas abordados en Eyes Wide Shut. En su vida y en los detalles que rodearon su muerte, hay símbolos que sugieren que comprendía perfectamente el mundo oculto que las élites mantienen alejado de las masas. El 29 de octubre de 1933, con la II República española consolidada, Blasco fue recibido en el puerto de Valencia por 300.000 personas, incluyendo figuras de alto rango como Niceto Alcalá-Zamora y Francesc Macià. Su entierro, más propio de un jefe de Estado, incluyó un sarcófago diseñado por Mariano Benlliure con simbología masónica, como una pirámide truncada, el disco solar y una esfera terrestre flanqueada por cabezas de águila. La cara posterior del sarcófago, “la cara buena” de la pirámide truncada Illuminati donde reside esta simbología más esotérica, es curiosamente la menos difundida. Apenas existen fotografías de alta resolución de este lado del cenotafio, lo que alimenta las especulaciones sobre qué se intenta ocultar. ¿Por qué esa opacidad? ¿Qué mensajes ocultos quiso dejar su círculo cercano? La cara de Medusa, una égida de Atenea metálica para proteger al espíritu iluminándolo, con el disco solar acompañado de los cuernos de la fortuna. Fijaos que la bola del mundo que está entre las garras de las dos águilas o del águila de dos cabezas parece un huevo. El huevo alquímico de la masonería, ese germen que tratan de transformar con dos fuerzas, izquierda y derecha, blanco y negro, azul y rojo para lograr la síntesis. La culminación de su obra, vaya. El diseño del mausoleo, obra del arquitecto Javier Goerlich nieto de un marques, incluye elementos alquímicos como un "huevo" que parece estar entre las garras de las águilas, aludiendo al huevo filosófico de la masonería, símbolo de transformación y síntesis. Este cenotafio, que ha cambiado de ubicación en múltiples ocasiones, parece ser un símbolo en sí mismo de una verdad que las élites prefieren mantener en las sombras. En dicho mausoleo se iban a utilizar unos pebeteros que terminaron en una capilla y uno de los cuales fue sufragado por una institución, la Diputación provincial, que fue creada por la dictadura de Primo de Rivera, el supuesto enemigo de Blasco y la República. En definitiva, tanto en el cine de Kubrick como en la vida de Blasco Ibáñez encontramos capas de significados que esperan ser descifradas. Mi libro, Ojos bien abiertos, busca precisamente eso: iluminar lo que se oculta a plena vista y mostrar que, tanto en el arte como en la historia, todo está interconectado. Ambos autores muestran la existencia de estructuras de poder: Kubrick identifica a las élites como la aristocracia del dinero, la nobleza de sangre y la clase media alta; mientras que Blasco Ibáñez se centra en los estamentos tradicionales de la aristocracia, la Iglesia y el Estado, con una burguesía emergente intentando integrarse en las élites. ¿Crees que estas élites son las que realmente controlan el sistema, o es algo aún más complejo? 005 La verdad es que a ciencia cierta nadie puede saber lo que es ese poder oculto sin tener que respetar el secretismo que les ha garantizado la supervivencia a lo largo de muchos milenios. Esto significa que si conoces realmente los mecanismos que utiliza el poder-religión para mantenerse ahi nunca hablaras abiertamente de ello. En ojos bien abiertos hablo sobre los mecanismos de control mental mediante trauma que emplean esta elite psicopatocratica para programar a los miembros de dicha elite. Los mas viejos programan a los mas jóvenes y los mas jóvenes terminan programando a los hijos de de otros que son como ellos en un ciclo sin fin. Esto va mucho mas alla de lo que se conoce por programación MK ultra, o control mental ultra. Aqui hablamos de vínculos sagrados mediante pactos de sangre donde unas familias se intercambian hijos con otras familias para no tener que programar a sus propios hijos mediante las técnicas mas crueles que podamos imaginar. Algo de esto nos mostró Kubrick en la naranja mecánica donde un padre monstruo engendra a un demonio hijo. Kubrick nos está hablando del abuso intergeneracional que practican estas elites de psicopatas que no tienen otra religión mas que la búsqueda del poder. Pedro Bustamante en su articulo "La naranja mecánica: el "eterno retorno" del Falo (1)” nos decía: “Álex-Edipo, hijo encubierto del Illuminati Mr. Alexander, dos encarnaciones de un mismo "eterno retorno" de la herramienta por excelencia del poder-religión: el Falo pederástico- felado-sodomizador-violador. "La naranja mecánica" (1971) de Stanley Kubrick no es una obra fácil. Se puede leer, como todas las grandes obras, a varios niveles. Pero niveles que están relacionados unos con otros. No solo es que haya varios planos narrativos, con uno más literal y otros más metafóricos que podamos leer entre líneas. Lo que hace el genio estadounidense es contarnos, precisamente a través de las vinculaciones entre estos distintos planos, cómo funciona la realidad, cómo funciona el poder-religión.” … “La leche-semen que la pandilla de jóvenes violentos beben, pero también los burgueses con los que se cruzan en el bar, funciona por lo tanto como una droga. Por eso nos dicen que es "leche-plus" o leche con "velloceta". Se refieren a la "belladona" utilizada por las brujas en sus rituales desde la antigüedad, en los rituales dionisíacos o para narcotizar a los soldados griegos. Como el Captagon que hoy las agencias de inteligencia occidentales proporcionan a sus ejércitos de yihadistas, con los que dicen combatir los políticos y los medios mentirosos e inmorales que hoy padecemos. La mecánica es la misma para la clase burguesa o profesional, con sus trajes y sus pajaritas, y para las pandillas callejeras, que no en vano llevan gorros burgueses. Los matones no están más que iniciándose en el sadismo que estructura toda la sociedad capitalista, que irán haciendo más sofisticado a medida que asciendan en la escala de poder.” En la serie de Berlanga sobre la vida de Vicente Blasco se hace una alusión velada al “comercio de mercancía sagrada o intercambio de niños de unos linajes a otros” con la adopción del primo de Blasco. Allí vemos como una carreta esta entrando a Valencia: “Venga Matías, coge a la boñiga. Detrás de esas torres está Valencia aquí nací yo. En aquellos tiempos para mucha gente, para la gente del campo, sobre todo era la ciudad de las promesas. Un lugar en el que cualquiera podía comerciar con lo que tuviera, azadones, patatas, estiércol incluso hijos. Lo curioso era que mientras unos querían entrar a toda costa, para otros respirar se nos hacía cada día más difícil y solo soñábamos con irnos.” Hacen alusión al cuento el Femater, el basurero, de la colección cuentos valencianos. ¿Podría ser que el director se refiriese al propio Blasco ya que poco o nada se sabe de ese supuesto primo adoptado? ¿Podría ser que el propio Blasco hubiera sido intercambiado por otra familia de la elite psicopatocratica para ser traumatizado y programado desde pequeño? Desde luego lo que nos debe quedar claro tras leer “Blasco Ibáñez desvelado” es que la función del escritor valenciano ya estaba designada desde muy niño y que, sabedor o no de ello, el valenciano será una pieza fundamental en la historia global. ¿Definen Kubrick y Blasco Ibáñez a las élites como grupos de poder interesados en el ocultismo, el esoterismo y la espiritualidad, o más bien como entidades centradas únicamente en los poderes materialistas y financieros? 006 Tanto Stanley Kubrick como Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, aunque separados por contextos históricos y temáticas aparentemente distintas, comparten una misma interpretación, una visión de las élites como entidades profundamente interesadas en prácticas ocultistas, rituales esotéricos y un entendimiento del poder que trasciende lo meramente materialista. Sus obras, reinterpretadas bajo esta óptica, dejan entrever la fascinación y el temor hacia un control invisible ejercido a través de fuerzas intangibles pero profundamente influyentes. En esta línea, las élites no solo estarían obsesionadas con acumular riquezas y controlar recursos, sino que también creen en su capacidad para moldear la realidad misma mediante rituales ancestrales y hierogamias sacrificiales, una práctica que, desde tiempos remotos, fusiona los conceptos de sexualidad y sacralidad en una búsqueda de poder espiritual. Kubrick, en su película Eyes Wide Shut, alude a círculos de poder cerrados que participan en ceremonias misteriosas, sugiriendo que estas prácticas no solo simbolizan su influencia, sino que son herramientas reales para afianzar su dominio. Por otro lado, Blasco Ibáñez, aunque menos explícito en lo esotérico, retrata en su obra un universo en el que las élites parecen operar bajo la influencia de fuerzas más grandes que la propia economía o la política. La elección del chalet de la Malvarrosa, en Valencia, como un símbolo del contacto entre el poder terrenal y lo trascendental, adquiere un peso especial en este relato. De forma extraordinaria, si uno traza una línea entre este punto y el obelisco de la Plaza de San Pedro en el Vaticano, se encuentra con una distancia exacta de 600 millas náuticas. Este dato, lejos de ser casual, reflejaría un diseño premeditado que conecta ambas localizaciones con un propósito energético y ritual. Las élites, según esta perspectiva, habrían diseñado el mundo físico para reflejar sus conocimientos ocultos. Esta distancia, tan precisa, no sería un accidente, sino una evidencia de que el chalet y el Vaticano ocupan posiciones estratégicas dentro de una red geomántica que canaliza energías terrestres y cósmicas. A través de estas alineaciones, los rituales adquieren un poder multiplicador, afectando la psique colectiva y reafirmando el control sobre las masas. Esta obsesión por el control no se limita al dominio físico de los territorios, sino que se extiende a la manipulación de las mentes y almas humanas. Según estas creencias, los rituales ancestrales no solo honran a deidades arcanas, sino que también funcionan como un medio para programar la realidad compartida. Creen que, al activar estos puntos energéticos mediante ceremonias específicas, pueden influir en el curso de la historia y el destino de los pueblos, consolidando su hegemonía. Desde este punto de vista, Kubrick y Blasco Ibáñez no serían meros artistas, sino crípticos cronistas que dejaron pistas sobre los mecanismos invisibles del poder. El lenguaje simbólico, las distancias exactas y las narrativas de exclusión esotérica que aparecen en sus obras nos ofrecen un mapa alternativo del mundo, uno donde lo oculto y lo manifiesto se entrelazan para dar forma a una realidad que sigue escapando al entendimiento común. ¿Cómo se pueden conseguir tus libros? 007 Por desgracia mis libros de momento solo se pueden conseguir a través de Amazon ya que todavía no he logrado llegar a ningún acuerdo con ninguna librería. Tengo un articulo en mi blog que se titula “AYUDA A TRAVÉS DE LA COMPRA DE MIS LIBROS” donde explico los libros que tengo y en los formatos que se pueden comprar. De todas formas si introduces mi nombre en Amazon, Ramón Valero, te van a mostrar la pagina de autor donde se referencia mis tres libros. Escribí uno hace mucho tiempo que se llama “Cinco Familiares elementos” pero que he publicado tras escribir mi primer libro como tal que es el que habla sobre Blasco. Este anterior es una recopilación de cinco relatos cortos donde utilizando las vivencias de algunos miembros de mi propia familia explico lo que son los cinco elementos fundamentales que describían los filósofos griegos. Cada relato es muy diferente y trata temas del despertar de consciencia. Son como micro cuentos donde el hilo en común es que hablo de vivencias personales. Este libro contiene también algunos artículos miss muy antiguos y un indice detallado con mis mejores hilos de Twitter. Se podría decir que es un libro de consulta. Hay una versión digital y también en papel en tapa blanda y dura. Realmente mi primer libro como tal es “Blasco Ibáñez desvelado” y se trata de una obra muy seria, muy referenciada, casi una obra académica lo que la hace quizás poco accesible para el gran publico. Pero en ella se explica como funciona el mecanismo hierogamico sacrificial del que hablaba Pedro Bustamante con ideas casi pictóricas. Estoy muy orgulloso de esa obra, que creo que envejecerá muy bien. Darle las gracias a Marta, la editora que me dio el empujoncito para escribirlo. Tras este libro ya me atreví a publicar el de relatos cortos e inmediatamente me metí de lleno a escribir el tercero “Ojos bien abiertos” donde en mas de 800 paginas descubro lo que Kubrick nos contaba en esa película e incluso lo amplio dando detalles sobre las técnicas y rituales que emplea la elite de psicopatas que dirige todo. Esta obra esta editada en digital, tapa blanda de mas de 800 paginas o en dos volúmenes de lujo en tapa dura de unas 500. Realmente esta escrito para poder leer de subcapitulo en subcapitulo sin hacer que el publico pierda el interés en ningún momento. Al igual que el de Blasco, la traca final os dejará con ganas de más. Como digo, o bien a través del articulo en mi blog, o introduciendo mi nombre o el titulo de las obras en Amazon, esta plataforma les proporcionara los enlaces para poder comprarlos. Espero también organizar una charla de presentación de las obras en Valencia lo más pronto posible y lo publicitare a través de mi blog y de Twitter. Muchísimas gracias Alex por preocuparte por entrevistar a este paria que tan solo aspira a ser humano cada dia. Un fuerte abrazo a todos los oyentes y otro para todas las personas que hayan escuchado de mi por primera vez. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Eric Schulze loves the intersection of science and food so much that after many years as an FDA regulator, he decided in 2016 to leave the federal government to join the then-nascent Memphis Meats (now UPSIDE Foods). He'd go on to spend the next seven years working to advance the cultivated meat pioneer's science, technology, communications, and ultimate regulatory approval by the agency for which he used to work. Now, Eric's charting a new path for himself, founding GoodHumans, a consultancy aimed at assisting and even launching biotech startups seeking to bring their new innovations to the world. In this episode, Eric and I discuss the state of the cultivated meat movement today and where it may be heading. This includes the path to commercialization, the obituaries being written for the sector, the statewide sales bans on the product, and comparisons to other technologies. We even discuss our mutual love of sci-fi and give some recommendations to those of you fellow nerds out there. Eric's a wealth of knowledge on all things alt-protein, so if you want both information and inspiration, listen to what he's got to say. Discussed in this episode Eric first learned about cultivated meat after the $18,000 meatball was unveiled in 2016. Our past episodes on this show with Uma Valeti and Teryn Wolfe, the latter of whom Eric has jointly launched a new company, Nexture Bio. Eric is a big fan of British physicist David Deutsch Eric recommends reading The Science of Science (nonfiction) along with fiction such as The Name of the Wind, Three Body Problem, and The Maniac. Paul recommends Tender is the Flesh (fiction) and Frostbite (nonfiction). He also wrote a review of some 19th century animal protection literature recently. Both Eric and Paul liked the films Gattaca and Elysium. More about Eric Schulze, PhD Eric Schulze, PhD is a professional molecular biologist, genetic engineer, and former federal biotechnology regulator, and most recently is the CEO of GoodHumans, a full-service strategy and design firm. He served as Vice President of Product and Regulation at UPSIDE Foods, where he led both design and development of the company's meat products as well as its regulatory-, policy-, and government affairs. Before that, he served as a U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulator, handling a portfolio of novel food and drug biotechnology products. As a civil servant, Dr. Schulze also served as a federal STEM education policy capacity within the National Science Foundation and currently works with the National Academy of Sciences on undergraduate STEM education transformation. He holds a doctorate in genetic, cellular, and molecular biology with a specialty in embryonic stem cell engineering and is trained in broadcast communication, speechwriting, and risk assessment.

In the 1997 film Gattaca, the camera zooms in on a laboratory where embryos are meticulously selected for their genetic perfection. In this creative adaptation of a dystopian future society, genetic engineering and eugenics are the norm, creating a rigid class system based on genetic makeup.In the movie, the camera pans to a couple eagerly awaiting the news of their “designed” child; their faces are a mix of anticipation and anxiety.

What are the causes of eczema? Can you get eczema genes? Is psoriasis genetic? These are common questions especially since many doctors still blame skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis on genetics.Many people have been told “Oh, you just got bad genes!”So is it true that the genes are the reason explaining WHY you got the skin condition that you have? Or does this attitude overlook and ignore other possible triggers.With the ability to sequence the genetic code (and even get your own DNA report), genes have essentially become the convenient excuse according to my guest today. And that leaning on them as THE reason you have skin problems (and other health concerns) is something of a flawed approach.In reality, there are a multitude of reasons or triggers that can cause skin problems that include the environment, your microbiome, chemical exposures, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and even what fabrics you wear. But if we ONLY point to genes, it becomes really easy to see how these important factors are overlooked.So if you've been told that eczema is genetic or what causes psoriasis on the skin is because of your genes, this conversation will blow your mind. My returning guest Dr. Ian Myles is head of the Epithelial Therapeutics Unit at the National Institute of Health tasked with evaluating the efficacy and safety of a topical, live bacterial treatment for eczema.He did his undergrad at Colorado State University, received his medical degree from the University of Colorado, then trained in internal medicine at The Ohio State University prior to beginning fellowship training in allergy and clinical immunology at NIH. He became a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and has supported several US and international missions. Also, Dr. Myles received his master's in public health from George Washington University.And he's the author of a fantastic book called Gattaca Has Fallen: How Population Genetics Failed the Populace now available that seeks to answer the question about how genetics research has led care for chronic health conditions (like skin problems) very astray.In This Episode:True or false: Is eczema is genetic?How genetic research has changed the way medicine views chronic health conditionsThe dark history behind using genes to guide treatmentIs there an eczema gene (or even a dyshidrotic eczema gene) or is psoriasis genetic?How does your environment (and chemical exposures) influence your genetic code?Can different fabrics INCREASE Staph aureus on the skin?New research on topical eczema treatments using the skin microbiomeQuotes“It is an easy excuse and it comes from a dark history, but comes from a long time ago where it was just an assumption as to, why would one person get a disease and one person not? And particularly within siblings, right, why would one of your children have eczema and the other one never suffer a second of the disease? And it was just this assumption that there's got to be something innately wrong with the individual.”“…With the advent of the microbiome and a new appreciation of that, now it's finally expanding out to skin organisms, gut organisms, all these other things, which, it's become very clear, there is no you without those organisms. So a mouse that is raised without any microbiome, there is not one single organ system that functions correctly…Not an immune system, the brain, the gut, the heart, the liver. Not one single immune system functions properly in a germ-free, what the term would be, ger

Exploramos cómo en este mundo distópico, la selección de rasgos genéticos predice capacidades, enfermedades, y hasta la expectativa de vida, desafiando los límites de la ética en la ciencia.Conectamos estos conceptos con los avances reales en la tecnología de los cromosomas artificiales, un tema que ha generado gran expectación en la comunidad científica. Abordamos preguntas cruciales como: ¿Hasta dónde debería llegar la intervención genética en los seres humanos? ¿Es posible tratar enfermedades antes de que aparezcan? ¿Qué implicaciones tiene la pérdida de la privacidad genética en un mundo donde el ADN se convierte en el nuevo "currículum"?¿Por qué temas como la inteligencia artificial dominan las conversaciones actuales, mientras que la revolución genética, que tiene el potencial de transformar radicalmente nuestras vidas, permanece en la sombra? También analizamos el simbolismo y los elementos visuales de Gattaca, como la escalera en espiral que recuerda a una doble hélice de ADN, y cómo estos detalles enriquecen la narrativa.Este episodio es una invitación a reflexionar sobre los dilemas bioéticos que Gattaca plantea, y que cada vez se acercan más a nuestra realidad. ¿Es la ciencia ficción realmente ficción, o estamos viendo los primeros pasos hacia un futuro donde la genética lo dicta todo?

When an unforced error by John Torres makes BLT react badly to her new parasite, she'd rather go Gattaca in the holo research lab than listen to the people who care about her. But when she reprograms Dr. Mark to schism her in sicksbay, the suction cups come out and only childhood trauma can earn her forgiveness. What do gender reveal parties look like on a Federation starship? Who's the morale officer of the family? How deep a hole can BLT dig?
