Nous sommes au milieu de l'année 1885. Les membres du groupe artistique d'avant-garde « Les XX », créé deux ans plus tôt, à Bruxelles, ont décidé d'élire de nouveaux candidats. Il s'agit de remplacer deux des membres fondateurs, Frans Simons, démissionnaire, car certaines de ses toiles ont été refusées par le Salon organisé par le groupe, et Théodore Verstraete, trop épris d'indépendance. « Les XX » choisissent Félicien Rops et Anna Boch. Si la postérité du premier a bien traversé les années, il faut un peu chercher pour trouver trace de celle … de la femme. Anna Boch, fille d'entrepreneur en faïencerie, artiste polyvalente, peintre de talent, comme son frère Eugène, passionnée par la nature qui lui sert de fil rouge dans sa quête de lumière et de couleur. Collectionneuse et mécène avertie, elle a réuni l'une des plus fameuses collections de son temps, c'est elle qui achète le seul tableau vendu par van Gogh de son vivant. Elle reste la seule femme membre du cercle des « XX », et aussi de « La Libre esthétique » qui lui succède, mais ne se contente pas d'y faire figuration : elle est considérée par ses confrères sur un pied d'égalité. Anna Boch veut faire carrière, à l'instar d'une autre artiste belge de la même époque, Marguerite Van de Wiele, autrice aujourd'hui bien oubliée. Van de Wiele qui, dans son roman Fleurs de civilisation » mettant en scène une jeune artiste bruxelloise, écrit : « (…) la femme de talent (…) est un être fâcheux, plus phénoménal encore que l'homme-artiste, car, déformée comme lui dans son existence normale, elle l'est jusque dans le rôle que notre société assigne aux individus de son sexe et, à en jouer un autre, elle perdra bientôt physiquement et moralement tout ce qui constitue la particularité féminine ; les amazones n'auraient pu être ni épouses, ni mères. C'est ce qui arrive fatalement pour nos modernes femmes peintres, statuaires, musiciennes, écrivaines … ». Alors, comment Anna Boch, artiste et mécène, s'est-elle débrouillée pour exister ? Invitée : Virginie Devillez, docteure en histoire de l'Université libre de Bruxelles.

55 procent van de Nederlandse moslims heeft in de afgelopen 5 jaar discriminatie ervaren, zo bleek uit EU-onderzoek naar onze grondrechten. Van beledigingen op straat en het aftrekken van hoofdbedekking tot structurele uitsluiting op de arbeidsmarkt. Ook recent Nederlands onderzoek wees op de ontwrichtende maatschappelijke gevolgen van moslimdiscriminatie. Hoe kunnen we moslimdiscriminatie tegengaan? We gaan in gesprek met Amsterdamse wethouder Touria Meliani, docent burgerschap Bilal Ben Abdelkarim, bestuurslid bij Collectief Jonge Moslims Sana Koulij, advocaat en arabist Maurits Berger, journalist en radio- en tv-presentator Naeeda Aurangzeb, promovendus aan Universiteit Leiden Omer Karaca en met moderator Kashif Amin.Aan het begin van deze eeuw leidden grote gebeurtenissen – waaronder de aanslag op de Twin Towers en de moord op Theo van Gogh – ertoe dat moslims als ‘De Ander' werden gezien. De afgelopen twintig jaar is moslimdiscriminatie steeds zichtbaarder geworden. De verkiezingswinst van de PVV heeft islamhaat verder genormaliseerd in de politiek, en de oorlog in Gaza legt extra druk op de verhoudingen binnen onze samenleving. Dat heeft niet alleen gevolgen voor moslims, maar voor de samenleving als geheel. Hoe doorbreken we de vicieuze cirkel van racisme, uitsluiting en polarisatie? En hoe beïnvloedt de constante stroom aan uitsluiting islamitische Nederlanders?Programmamaker: Rokhaya SeckModerator: Kashif AminMede mogelijk gemaakt door Vfonds.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joan Fernandez is a former senior marketing executive and general partner of the financial powerhouse Edward Jones. In 2018, she retired from a 30+ year career to be a full-time writer. Since leaving the corporate world, she's become a member of the Historical Novel Society, the Author's Guild, and the Women's Fiction Writers Association (WFWA). In April 2020, she founded a Historical Fiction affinity group within WFWA that grew from a handful of people to nearly two hundred authors. Her debut novel, Saving Vincent: A Novel of Jo van Gogh, has just come out — and I had the great privilege of coaching Joan at two points in her long process of writing this book so I had a front row seat to the deep work she did to bring this story to life. Writing about a real person has some particular challenges, and we get into that here.I'm so excited to share our conversation today.Links from the Pod:Historical Novel Societythe Authors GuildWomen's Fiction Writers Association (WFWA)Top Five Regrets of the Dying, Bronnie WareFind Joan at www.joanfernandezauthor.com, or on IG at @joanfernandezauthorWriters and readers!

She knows that stalking her ex's avatar all over Portland on her phone isn't the healthiest way to heal from their breakup. But she's out of ice cream and she's sick of romcoms. Watching his every move is both fascinating and infuriating. He's dining out while she's wallowing on the couch. The last straw comes when he parks in their favorite spot on the waterfront. In a weak moment, she leashes the dog and sets off to see who else is in his car.

Op 9 november 2024 stond de in 2009 overleden Hongaarse prostituee Betty Szabo weer in een raam op de Amsterdamse Wallen: althans,  een hologram van Betty stond weer in een raam. En dit hologram vroeg gedurende  10 dagen aan het voorbijgaande publiek om haar te helpen haar moordenaar te vinden. In de nacht van 19 op 20 februari 2009 werd de pas 19-jarige Betty door tientallen messteken om het leven gebracht. Haar buurmeisjes, die die nacht ook werkzaam waren op de Amsterdamse Wallen, troffen haar die nacht levenloos aan in haar peeskamer.Ton Uiterwijk, in 2009 projectleider bij de Amsterdamse recherche, kreeg tijdens zijn piket een telefoontje:  " er is een vrouw vermoord op de Wallen en je moet onmidddelijk komen". Enige maanden later kreeg Ton zelfs de leiding over het onderzoek naar de moordenaar van Betty. Die moordenaar werd toen niet gevonden en het onderzoek bloedde langzaam dood. Het werd een cold case die jaren op de plank lag. Totdat vorig jaar de Amsterdamse recherche besloot om nog één keer alles uit de kast te halen om de zaak op te lossen. Daarbij maakten ze onder meer gebruik van een hologram, een bewegend beeld in een raam op de Amsterdamse wallen gebaseerd op Betty.In deze aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Blauw Geboren praat Marijke de Jager met Anne Dreijer, tactisch coördinator cold case, en Benjamin van Gogh, coördinator opsporingscommunicatie, over de moord op Betty Szabo en de inzet van een internationale mediacampagne met behulp van een hologram. Waarom werd de zaak van Betty weer opgepakt?  En waarom koos men voor een hologram? Hoe maak je een hologram en wat heeft het hologram nu opgeleverd? En Ton Uiterwijk, inmiddels met pensioen maar nog steeds Blauw Geboren,  vertelt over dat eerste onderzoek en waarom het toen niet lukte om de moordenaar te vinden.Voor achtergrondinformatie over Blauw Geboren en unieke beelden:Instagram: @blauwgeborenSamenstelling en presentatie: Marijke de JagerMontage en mixage: Mano BartenArtwork: Rob WestendorpMet dank aan Opsporing Verzocht.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever heard a great song or watched an incredible movie then afterwards learned the inspiration for it, and it made it all the more powerful? Years ago, Elise and I were in a little art shop in a mall. Among all the large and impressive art for sale, there was a fairly small oil replica of Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers. So simple. Flowers in a vase. I walked out with that little framed painting for my office. Later I learned Van Gogh painted the original to display in a room to show his gratefulness for his friend, Paul Gauguin, who was moving in with him. The painting was more than just vibrant impasto colors of liberal oil paint. The paint was more than just a still life of top-heavy sunflowers. The painting was friendship, closeness, gratitude. Psalm 102 is a powerful song we can sing in the valley. It is a song of suffering held deeply in the heart of the singer. Not wanting this to be missed, the compilers of Israel's song book kept a short superscript before the lyrics. It is one of a kind. The superscript of 102 is the only one in Psalms which, according to Rolf Jacobson “describes a psalm as intended for a particular instance in a person's life.” Psalm 102 is Van Gogh's sunflower with the backstory of gratitude. This fifth penitential psalm is at first glance a moving song of sorrow and shadow. It is does not hide its suffering. But holding gently the superscript at the beginning brings a deeper resonance: “A prayer of an afflicted person who has grown weak and pours out a lament before the Lord.” There is a backstory. There is an affliction that has left the voice parched and in pain. This lament is sung from the little remaining, the last drops of oil in the widow's jar, the rasping voice of the thirsty soul. Like the sunflowers, it is a song for someone…and that someone is divine. He is enthroned on high. He is God Almighty. He is the eternal Father, merciful and compassionate. He is the Sovereign King, who builds and rebuilds. He is the Lord who hears our prayers sung in the darkness and responds with the radiance of hope.

Asi nejslavnější malíř všech dob Vincent van Gogh zemřel chudý, alespoň ve srovnání s tím, za kolik se jeho obrazy prodávají dnes. Jeho osud se stal inspirací ke Krimi příběhu.

“Lisa Sartorio” Les désoeuvréesà la galerie binome, Parisdu 16 avril au 14 juin 2025Entretien avec Lisa Sartorio,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 15 avril 2025, durée 17'33,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2025/05/08/3614_lisa-sartorio_galerie-binome/Communiqué de presse En 1916, dans l'une de ses fameuses notes, Marcel Duchamp définissait par l'exemple le « ready-made réciproque » : « Se servir d'un Rembrandt comme planche à repasser. » À l'inverse des ready-made bien connus, le ready-made réciproque entendait convertir une oeuvre d'art en objet utilitaire. Comme les ready-made, il n'introduisait pas une différence de degré mais de nature avec l'objet d'origine : ce dernier ne devenait pas plus ou moins ce qu'il était déjà, il était dénaturé. Le ready-made réciproque n'est resté, pour l'anartiste Duchamp, qu'une hypothèse. Sa postérité n'en est pas moins immense car, de nos jours, il n'est pas un chef-d'oeuvre, de Rembrandt ou autre, que l'industrie culturelle n'ait converti, au mieux en bijou, boîte, assiette ou tasse, au pire en set de table, coque de smartphone, ruban adhésif ou papier hygiénique… Autant d'objets qui, par leur prolifération, s'imposent dans notre quotidien comme les nouveaux modes d'existence des oeuvres originelles, au point d'effacer, quand nous les connaissons, la réalité de ces dernières de nos mémoires.Le récent travail de Lisa Sartorio porte sur la dénaturation de l'art opérée, à l'ère du consumérisme culturel et touristique, par ces ready-made réciproques que sont les produits dérivés. L'artiste s'était déjà intéressée au devenir image des oeuvres d'art quand, en 2013, elle avait collecté sur internet des centaines de reproductions différentes de la Joconde, oeuvre comme il se doit la plus partagée sur les réseaux, pour créer une composition abstraite. Aujourd'hui, les quatre corpus qui forment Les Désoeuvrées sont consacrés à leur devenir objet.Pour constater l'ampleur du phénomène, Lisa Sartorio a commencé par réunir, toujours grâce à internet, les produits dérivés de deux chefs-d'oeuvre, Amandier en fleurs (1890) de Vincent van Gogh et Le Baiser (1908-1909) de Gustav Klimt, dont elle a assemblé les images dans des compositions saturées qui, en dépit de l'homogénéité du motif, laissent apparaître la diversité des objets commercialisés, y compris des chaussures, escarpins ou baskets, pour le tableau de Van Gogh, ou un parapluie, des collants et un skateboard pour celui de Klimt. Une fois imprimées, elle a utilisé ces compositions pour confectionner des objets en trois dimensions en les moulant sur de la vaisselle, des bouteilles, ustensiles de cuisine, téléphones, tongs, etc., qu'elle a agencés dans l'espace. Elle a ensuite photographié ces natures mortes en variant les lumières pour souligner la matérialité de ces objets. Mais cette matérialité, apparente dans les deux dimensions de la photographie, est feinte car, et c'est ce qui importe, ces objets sont creux : le geste de l'artiste, qui fait écho à la perte de réalité de l'oeuvre désoeuvrée en produit dérivé, a consisté à retirer le moule qui, faut-il le rappeler, s'appelle aussi l'âme.

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Selgado, Ben Cossette, and Mike McHugh. Edited by: Tim NicholsonJoin us for our study of the one chapter in the Book of Jude. Ben kicks us off by asking the question about Jesus' half brothers. This evolves into how catholic priests became gatekeepers of scripture and creating interpretations like the Virgin Mary. We then end up in Vincent van Gogh territory where he actually began to make God's Word more accessible to the common man and why the gatekeepers of this time did not like this.Lenny then brings it back to Jude verse 3 and the importance of vigilance, contend for the Faith. The group then shares the importance of trusting what is being taught, but to then verify.David shifts the topic to rescuing brothers and sisters from the lake of fire. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. Mike shares about being lost in the world, but having zero clue that he was actually lost. Judah brings it full circle by sharing the actual catholic interpretation of the Virgin Mary and how they have added things to the Bible and declared by various popes as dogma.Enoch, Elijah and Jesus being the only three Biblical bodily resurrections. So so much more and what an amazing conversation!!Enjoy and have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

Vincent van Gogh ist einer der bekanntesten Maler der Welt. Seine Gemälde sind Millionen wert. Die weltweit grösste Sammlung seiner Bilder befindet sich im Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Dort kam es vor 34 Jahren zu einem Kunstraub.

Yvette's stay at the Pont Royal Hotel, a former “writer's residence” turned hotel and later expanded to its impressive destination status, was enhanced by her opportunity to interview the general manager, Frederic Legallois.    The hotel is located on the Left Bank of the Seine River, where artists and intellectuals of the early and mid-20th century held court on café terraces in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This neighborhood is a postcard-perfect vision of Paris: a grand, boutique-filled boulevard; café terraces practically made for people-watching; former residences turned into hotels; antique shops and bookstores spilling out on cobblestoned squares.    Yvette enjoyed the hotel staff's attentiveness to quality service, the art on display and the jazz performance in the hotel's well-appointed bar and lounge. The hotel's proximity to museums and gardens allowed Yvette to enjoy the beautifully manicured Jardin du Luxembourg, which dates back 400 years, and the Musee d'Orsay.   The Musee d'Orsay, which was originally established with loans from the Louvre, now claims the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist art in the world. Taking over a former Beaux-Arts railway station along the Seine River, this Museum holds masterpieces, which Yvette had an opportunity to enjoy, like Vincent van Gogh's “The Starry Night” and Edouard Manet's “The Luncheon on the Grass” and a very special find for Yvette, the American artist's James McNeill Whistler's “Whistler Mother.”

In this first episode of the new series of A brush with…, Ben Luke talks to the painter Celia Paul about her influences—including writers as well as contemporary and historic artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Paul was born in 1959 in Trivandrum, India, and now lives in London. She makes intense yet ruminative paintings of people close to her, the spaces in which she lives and works, and landscapes of poignant significance. Her paintings are made from life but are pregnant with memory, poetry and emotion, which she imbues in her distinctive painterly language. Her art possesses a rare tranquillity in which one perceives deep feeling; Paul wrote in her memoir that her paintings are “so private and personal that there's almost a ‘Keep Out' sign in front of them”. At once a singular figure yet also connected to strands of recent and historic figurative painting in Britain, she has been admired widely throughout her career but only recently been recognised as a major figure in British art of the past 40 years. She discusses the fact that she began painting before she knew about art, but when she was introduced to Old and Modern Masters, she discovered El Greco and Paul Cezanne, who remain important to her today. She also reflects on the compassion in Rembrandt and Vincent van Gogh, the stillness and scale of Agnes Martin and the elementary power of the novels of the Brontë sisters. She also describes her response in painting to the artists of the School of London, including Lucian Freud, with whom she was once in a relationship, and Frank Auerbach.Celia Paul: Colony of Ghosts, Victoria Miro, London, until 17 April 2025.

When Winnie Wong first saw Dafen Oil Painting Village in 2006, it was nothing like she'd imagined. The Chinese village was known for mass producing copies of Western art. She'd read about it in The New York Times, which described a kind of compound where thousands of artists painted replicas of famous artworks, like da Vinci's Mona Lisa or van Gogh's Starry Night, for European and U.S. hotels and condos.“We had an expectation, which was that there would be this giant factory,” said Wong, a professor of rhetoric at UC Berkeley. “And in this factory, there would be these painters working in an assembly line fashion: One person would paint the rocks, and one person would paint the trees, and one person would paint the sky.”But when she arrived in the small gated village, what she saw surprised her. In 2013, she published van Gogh on Demand: China and the Readymade, a book about her six years of research in Dafen and how it forever changed the way she thinks about art and authenticity and the nature of creativity.See more artwork and photos of Dafen from 2015, when Wong and architecture professor Margaret Crawford took a group of graduate students on a 14-day trip to the Pearl River Delta region to study urban art villages.Listen to the episode, read the transcript and see more photos on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo by José Joaquin Figueroa.This year on Berkeley Voices, we're exploring the theme of transformation.

Vincent van Gogh is one of history's best known artists, but he wasn't during his own lifetime. His rise to fame came slowly through the efforts of the woman who inherited the vast majority of his paintings. Jo van Gogh-Bonger was a Dutch girl who considered herself not very well educated about art, and yet she managed to weave her way through the art world and bring us Vincent's exquisite beauty.

Margherita Loy"Tutto ciò che resta"Postfazione di Dario VoltoliniHopefulmonster Edizioniwww.hopefulmonster.netSi può dire che la lingua madre di Margherita Loy sia direttamente l'italiano letterario. In questi tre nuovi racconti gli elementi portanti sono la possibilità della scrittura di essere semplice ma di aprire improvvise complessità, il gioco dei richiami tra il passato e il presente, la tensione tra la scena narrata e quella vista che si liquefà nel vissuto della parola, la rarefazione che è evocata con termini nitidi e precisi, i riverberi di infinite letture abitate da sempre, refoli bassaniani, il pensiero che gioca con le parole. E soprattutto la presenza dell'oggetto emblematico che catalizza verso sé le storie perdute e ne rende disponibile la narrazione.Abbiamo tre gioielli in questa raccolta. Ciascuno racchiude un mondo, conserva relazioni e affetti, vite irripetibili. Ma la loro essenza di gioielli riverbera su mondi, relazioni, affetti e vite il pregio del valore delle loro pietre, dell'oro, delle perle.Margherita Loy è una narratrice che nutre un personale rispetto nei confronti delle storie che racconta. Questo è un dato caratteriale che permea la sua prosa e la impreziosisce, sebbene la scrittrice mantenga con cura affilato il rasoio e appuntito il bulino al cospetto dei dolori e delle sofferenze. Margherita Loyo è nata a Roma nel 1959 e da molti anni vive nella campagna lucchese. Ha condotto programmi sui libri per l'emittente Videomusic, programmi culturali su Rai Radio Tre, tradotto libri per Astrolabio-Ubaldini Editore e pubblicato racconti sulla rivista “Paragone Letteratura” e nell'antologia Parole apparecchiate (2011) edita da Trasciatti Editore. Ha inventato libri d'arte per bambini per Gallucci Editore: La cameretta di van Gogh (2015, 2023); Magritte. Questo non è un libro (2021); Pop al pomodoro (2021). Per Zona Franca Edizioni ha pubblicato la raccolta di racconti V.O.L.A., Vino, olio, latte e acqua (2013), per Atlantide Edizioni i romanzi Una storia ungherese (2018), La dinastia dei dolori (2020) e Dio a me ha dato la collina (2022), mentre per l'editore Barta è uscito nel 2023 il romanzo Delia o mattino di giugno.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Janis Daly, author of the book The Path Beneath Her Feet and creator of #31titleswomeninhistory, along with four additional authors from the list.   The compiled list of historical fiction represents thirty-one titles to read, discover, learn, and celebrate women who've made history, individually or collectively. Their achievements languish in the shadows, awaiting authors to write their stories and readers to embrace them.   According to Janis, developing the list wasn't easy because there are far more books than she could include. But this is how she made her final decision:   Had to be historical fiction Had to be written by a woman Looked for diversity in authors – cultural, type of publishing, and name recognition Looked for diversity in the subject – cultural, setting, field of recognition Ratings on Goodreads   Here is the list of books Janis has included for the 31 days of March in 2025: Akmaral by Judith Lindbergh - Amazon Warrior Women, Ancient History Asia American Daughters by Piper Huguley - Progressive political daughters and friends, Alice Roosevelt, Portia Washington, early 1900s America Can't We Be Friends by Denny S.

Lots of healthy disagreement in this week's THAT WAS THE WEEK tech show with Keith Teare. We debate the impact of AI on coding jobs, with Keith suggesting that while traditional coding skills may become less important, system architecture and AI guidance skills will be crucial to maintaining the value of human labor. We also discuss the rise of early-stage unicorns, military-tech AI start-ups, and disagree strongly on the status of billionaires, with Keith arguing that it's “not hard” to be a billionaire in Silicon Valley today. Here are the five KEEN ON takeaways from today's conversation:* Divergent Market and Valley Sentiment: While the stock market is having its worst performance since Trump's inauguration, Silicon Valley remains optimistic, particularly about AI. Keith argues there's no short-term correlation between Silicon Valley sentiment and market performance.* Evolution of Tech Skills: The rise of AI is changing the nature of technical skills needed in startups. Keith suggests that traditional coding skills are becoming less crucial, while the ability to architect systems and guide AI is becoming more important. He notes that universities are already adapting their computer science programs to include AI.* Rise of Efficient Startups: AI is enabling lean startups to do more with fewer people. Keith uses his own company Signal Rank as an example, noting they've built a complex system with just five people, two of whom are coders, highlighting a shift in how startups can be built efficiently.* Military-Tech Convergence: There's a growing trend of Silicon Valley companies entering the defense sector, exemplified by Saronic raising $600 million for autonomous warships. This represents a broader shift in how military technology is being developed and funded through private companies.* Debate about Wealth Creation: The conversation concludes with a debate about wealth accumulation, sparked by Robert Reich's controversial X post about billionaires. Keith argues that technology's global reach and distribution capabilities have made it easier than ever to build valuable companies, with Andrew strongly disputing the idea that becoming a billionaire is "not that hard."That Was The Week - February 22, 2025With Andrew Keen and Keith TeareAndrew Keen: Hello everybody. It is Saturday, February the 22nd, 2025. The last Saturday in February, the last Saturday we're going to do That Was The Week tech roundup. It's been an odd week. On the one hand, the stocks notched the worst week since Trump's inauguration six weeks ago. It's been a long six weeks. According to the Financial Times, the geopolitical rupture, which of course has been caused by Trump, has sparked a quiet market rebellion. Niall Ferguson had an interesting piece in today's Wall Street Journal about the demise of the United States because of its massive debt, and Elon Musk has been continuing to make a public fool of himself this week, waving a chainsaw and pretending to be an Argentine politician, which I'm not sure reflects that well on him. However, in spite of all that bad news, Keith Teare's That Was The Week newsletter is actually very optimistic. Unicorns are back, according to Keith, and we have an image, of course, created by AI of these imaginary beasts horses with horns. Keith is joining us, as always, from Palo Alto, the home of optimism. Keith, do you think it's coincidental that suddenly everyone is optimistic again in Silicon Valley whilst the market is sliding to those two things in an odd way, kind of go together?Keith Teare: There's no correlation between Silicon Valley and the markets at all in any day to day sense. There's long term correlation, but not short term. Silicon Valley is having a moment because of AI, and Grok Three was launched this week. Crunchbase launched its new AI driven data platform, and the CEO declared that historical data is dead, meaning only future predictive data is any good anymore.Andrew Keen: And historical data being dead. The future is predictive intelligence. What does that mean?Keith Teare: He means that it's now possible, because of AI, to see patterns and trends and predict them. Just knowing the past is not the point anymore. Obviously it's stretching a point. You still need the history from the past to see the trends. But he's saying the needle has turned from looking backwards to predicting the future because of data. That's true in biology as well. There's a massive arc this week announced a new model that understands DNA and can predict the likelihood of solving diseases.Andrew Keen: Your editorial this week, Keith, is quite personal. You know that as the person in charge of Signal Rank, your startup, AI has been remarkably helpful in it. You refer in the editorial to an interesting piece in the New York Times about how AI is changing Silicon Valley build startups like your own Signal. What does your experience at Signal Rank tell us about the future of startups?Keith Teare: Signal Rank is five people. Two of us have coding skills. We've raised $5 million ever to spend on building Signal. All the other money we raised is to invest in companies. That article is focusing on the fact that it's almost like the Lean Startup story from the early 2000s, except it's true this time, because the most expensive thing in a startup is people. And the one thing you need less of is people. That's a massive shift. Of course, if you're building large language models, the opposite is true, because the most expensive thing is GPUs, which you pay Nvidia for. And that's super expensive. But everything else that's sitting on top of that is getting faster, cheaper and better.Andrew Keen: You also refer to a New York Times piece about how AI is prompting an evolution, not an extinction for coders. Your son's a coder, in a sense, you're a coder. Ultimately, one and I was at this thing with Tim Draper a couple of weeks ago where he was talking about companies, billion dollar companies built and managed by single people won't ultimately make most coders extinct. Maybe not all. But when founders like yourselves simply become coders and you won't have the need for other help.Keith Teare: I make the point in an editorial that I didn't write a single line of code, but I've built a very complex system with lots of AI agents working together and delivering results for users. Learning to code is going to be a low requirement. A very high requirement is learning to architect and guide the AI because the AI can code, but it can't imagine systems to build or know when it got it right or when it got it wrong. The skill base is going to shift to what normally would be the domain of a product manager who has coding skills and can understand what's happening and can understand what it can ask for and what it can't ask for. But coding itself, learning Python, learning JavaScript or Java? Probably less essential.Andrew Keen: So what happens to kids like your son who just graduated and now works in Silicon Valley as a coder?Keith Teare: He'll still be needed for some time. In his company, they're not allowed to use AI yet. It's a little bit like dying skills always protect themselves until they can't. Engineers that are defensive or companies that are defensive about using AI are going to fall behind a little bit. But eventually everyone gets there because it's just a better way of doing things.Andrew Keen: You're an innovator and instinctive in terms of innovation. But are people going to start going to college and doing majors and working with AI rather than learning how to code? Will computer science be really about how to ask the right questions and ask it to do the correct things?Keith Teare: Yes, but to do that you need to understand systems architecture. My youngest son just got an offer from my old university in the UK, Kent, and it's for a course called Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, so they're already evolving the courses to teach the new skills. I think it's going to be imperative if you can talk to a machine and you can imagine what you want it to build. Imagine you could describe to a machine the website you'd really like for Keen on America, and it would build it, and then you'd look at what it built and say, no, I didn't mean that, I meant this. It gives you massive power to produce things.Andrew Keen: And I think it's also true with writers. I'm not a coder. But the thing with AI is it's not designed to replicate human writing. It's designed to answer questions and organize ideas in ways that are instant as opposed to taking hours or days for humans. So it's similar in that sense. Meanwhile, let's go back to your unicorns. It's all coming out of Crunchbase that your wife works for. She writes for it. And what is Crunchbase telling us this week about quote unquote minting early stage startups? Are unicorns back in fashion? We haven't talked about unicorns for about a year. We talk about them every week.Keith Teare: The rates of unicorn production declined massively from 2021 onwards and reached the bottom last year.Andrew Keen: While the market was strong and now it's falling and unicorns are back.Keith Teare: This article is specifically about early stage unicorns. These are unicorns that become unicorns at a series A or a series B round. They're raising very large sums of money. The top six series A raises this week all raised more than $50 million.Andrew Keen: And the average valuation I guess early round has jumped to 3.3 billion. But doesn't the unicorn term become slightly absurd if you're raising hundreds of millions of dollars? It's given that you're going to be a unicorn. But does that really mean anything?Keith Teare: If you try to put it into a rational framework, the amount of money put into a company and the valuation is determined by supply and demand and likely outcomes. Investors who are writing these checks are making a calculation of what this company will be worth in the next five to ten years. They're writing checks appropriate to a gain of at least ten times that money. They're projecting into the future a likely outcome from writing the checks and the competition to invest in these companies is so intense that the checks get bigger earlier. Obviously that creates risk. The risk is that you're making the call too early and you're going to be wrong in your predictions. The upside is that you know you're right and you'll be smiling all the way to the bank. That's just the nature of any technology transfer.Andrew Keen: Is this different from any other hysteria boom? Just the numbers are larger. Is this different from the dot-com boom where huge amounts of money were poured in? Most companies failed. Some succeeded, like Amazon or like web 2.0, or like social media or like crypto.Keith Teare: It's very similar. It's more like the gold rush because there really was gold. There really is gold. Even in the dot-com boom, the asset class of venture capital did very well. Individual investments failed, but the asset class as a whole did very well. When you allocate to a tech boom like AI really is and the AI boom is real, there's real value being produced and real change in human experience that's going to generate lots of money. Placing those bets at the asset class level makes sense. Individual investments is a totally different story.Andrew Keen: You also refer to Hunter Walk, who is a very smart guy. He said, you have to assume every company will have access to the same LLMs and voices. The challenge then is to build a company that thrives despite this reality. Given the commodification of AI and all these platforms from xAI to OpenAI to Anthropic AI to Google Gemini, that are basically now all the same. We're seeing this commodification of LLMs. Doesn't that point to a weakness in this AI hysteria?Keith Teare: You have to distinguish between LLMs, reasoning agents and agents that can do things. This week, Grok Three was launched. It's very good, by the way. But it's only a little bit better than all the others. So it didn't get the attention that say deepfaked.Andrew Keen: And next week someone will come out with something else that will be a little better. And as this race continues, the differences between the products will become less and less.Keith Teare: But for you and me, that's fantastic. You use Anthropic, I use Perplexity, I use Claude, we're basically getting free intelligence to do work.Andrew Keen: I wonder whether in that sense it's rather like the early days of the internet where we got a lot of stuff for free, and then everyone woke up and started charging. I mean, we are paying. I pay my $20 a month to Anthropic. You pay your monthly fees, but it's still pretty small amounts of money.Keith Teare: OpenAI now has 400 million daily active users and is making billions of dollars.Andrew Keen: I hope so because it's raised tens of billions of dollars.Keith Teare: But that is the game. Think of the Andrew Keen world. You wouldn't want to constrain yourself to investing almost nothing and making almost nothing. You want to invest as much as possible as long as you know you can make more than that back.Andrew Keen: On the unicorn front, you've been at this rodeo before many times. You're about as experienced as it gets. Are you taking these arguments about unicorns seriously, or should we be taking them like unicorns themselves with a pinch of salt?Keith Teare: When you build startups, the valuation of the startup is not even in your mind as a variable. You're just building whatever your vision is and it costs money to build it. So you're raising money. You sell shares in your company at the highest price you possibly can. It's good news if you're a unicorn from the point of view of the company you're building. Founders don't really think about valuations as much as they think about how much money they need and what they're going to do with it. Normal people read the headlines and think that Silicon Valley is awash with irrationality. It isn't really true.Andrew Keen: Well, you're providing us with those headlines. One of the other pieces you linked to this week is from the FT about Silicon Valley fighting EU tech rules with backing from Trump. Most of the news this week has been about Trump outside technology. It's Trump changing the rules in terms of big tech and particularly Europe and tariffs completely.Keith Teare: Coinbase announced yesterday that the SEC has withdrawn its lawsuit against Coinbase. That's the latest little indication of the trend. There are rumors that Ripple, which was also subject to an SEC case, will have that case withdrawn. The Trump administration does not want to stand in the way of big tech or little tech for that matter, and it sees Europe, rightly so, as a bit of a backwater. The zeitgeist is changing. Even in Europe, the innovators are fairly pro the Trump message even if they're not pro Trump. The need to innovate and relax constraints.Andrew Keen: The German economy now seems to be in crisis or German culture is in crisis. But they probably left it too late. The horse or the unicorns, so to speak, has left the barn here, hasn't it?Keith Teare: Apple yesterday announced that it's turning off encryption in Europe, in the UK now, not the whole of Europe, because the UK asked for a backdoor. So now UK users of the iPhone have no security on their phones because Apple, rather than comply with a backdoor, would turn the whole security layer off. That's going to be a bit of a trend. The governments trying to control tech, especially if they're snooping on their citizens. Tech is not going to bend over and agree with them anymore. And Trump is going in the opposite direction. He's not trying to get them to do back doors.Andrew Keen: The interview of the week, my interview was with Tim Wu, who was perhaps the most influential critic of monopoly Big Tech in the Biden administration. He has an interesting new piece out on decentralizing capitalism. With the help of Claude, we came away with five points from my conversation with Wu. It's all about decentralizing capitalism, getting away from monopoly capitalism, which I think he sees in companies like Google and Facebook and even OpenAI. I know you're not a big fan of regulation, but do you think Wu has a point? He's in favor of decentralizing capitalism. He's not against the market. He's in favor of innovation.Keith Teare: What does he mean? Because you could frame that as being nation states that are too centralized or you could frame it that big tech is too centralized. How does he frame it?Andrew Keen: He frames it as capitalism lends itself to a winner take all economy. He goes over the argument that America has always been a more innovative and wealthier society when you attack the monopolies, whether it's the oil monopolies, the railroads, pharma. And the same needs to be done now to unleash creativity, to unleash guys like yourself. One of your close friends, Lina Khan, was on MSNBC this week, talking about what she calls an anti-monopoly hunger in America. I'm not sure whether that's an exaggeration, but certainly there is an anti-monopoly feeling, both on both sides of the aisle. It's one of the few things that unite Democrats and Republicans, isn't it?Keith Teare: No, I disagree. The zeitgeist is exactly the opposite. The desire to control, especially big tech is nonexistent. The Democrats live in their own bubble world on MSNBC, and they really don't know how normal people think. Most people think Google's awesome. They think Amazon is awesome. They like using AI. More and more people are using it.Andrew Keen: You can like using AI and not be in favor of monopolies. That's two different subjects.Keith Teare: Normal people don't even use the word monopoly. It's not a word in the normal lexicon. It's a purely political word, used only in the circles of the Democratic Party that have this kind of Stalinist influence. The word state monopoly capitalism came out of Stalin.Andrew Keen: But I think you need to read Wu's piece on decentralizing capitalism, because he's as much a critic of Stalinism and centralization as you. He uses models from postwar East Asia, particularly Taiwan, and of course, the Danish model to talk about reforming the US. So what would you advise guys like Wu to be arguing? Should they just throw in their chips with Donald Trump and say you're right?Keith Teare: Where I would agree with them, and this is the common thread where we can agree, is capitalism has the tendency to create what I think of as greater socialization. You get bigger and bigger units, more interconnected. The interconnected piece is super important. It's not just that they're big, they're interconnected and that tends to be global. There's a globalizing tendency within capitalism. As you globalize and you socialize production, small individual industries tend to go by the wayside. Artisan industries. All of that is true. But you don't fix that by trying to break it up. The real social good is that the human race increasingly becomes interconnected and interdependent. That's a good thing. What's wrong is the private ownership of the wealth that it produces.Andrew Keen: Last week we talked about Alva van Gogh's critique of Vance's Paris speech, although he agreed with it in part. This week, you connect with Albert's humanist vision for AI. The speech at the Paris AI summit he would have given. What is Albert's vision?Keith Teare: It's a little bit 1960s cumbayah-ish. I am one of those, so I agree with him. But it's basically saying that AI is a tool for humanity, not a tool against humanity. And he makes the case for that. He doesn't say there are no safety risks, but he minimizes safety risks and places human good first, which I think does correlate to Tim Vance. It's an opportunity to be taken, not a safety risk. So I think he's kind of on the same page as Vance, to be honest.Andrew Keen: Whenever anyone uses the word humanist, it always makes me slightly skeptical. I'm not entirely sure what it means. I mean, who's anti-humanist except for a few Marxist philosophers in Paris? Meanwhile, lots of other tech news. Microsoft announced what it sees as a breakthrough in quantum. Is that right, Keith?Keith Teare: You and I probably are not clever enough to know, but I think we are safe. The answer is yes. That headline says they've created a new state of matter, and that pertains to something called a topological qubit, which is a qubit that can be programmable. And they're so tiny and there's so many of them that a quantum computer can do calculations at much greater scale, much faster than anything before. And they claim to have reduced this new state of matter down into a chip that can be plugged into a computer, an electrical computer, not a quantum computer, and can run. And the claim is that that will accelerate quantum computing by decades, to the point where there are promising programs that mean something within five years. And so that's a new timeline from Microsoft.Andrew Keen: I think quantum is like we're going to talk about it and talk about it and talk about it, and everyone will be skeptical. Some people will say it's for real, and then suddenly something will come along, the equivalent of OpenAI or ChatGPT and quantum, and it will be real. But that certainly isn't this week. Meanwhile, your startup of the week is exactly what you've been talking about. A unicorn Saronic, which raised this week $600 million to mass produce autonomous warships. It's another example of how Silicon Valley and the Pentagon and the defense industry seem to be becoming one. Tell us about Saronic.Keith Teare: Saronic is part of that trend for Silicon Valley and military spending to converge. The same investors in Saronic are also in Anduril and some of the other companies we talked about from time to time, space as well. So it's symptomatic of two things. The first is militarized investment coming out of Silicon Valley, and the second is the valuations. I should disclose, by the way, that Signal Rank owns shares in Saronic. So this was good news for us this week.Andrew Keen: Or at least your investors own shares. It's interesting that this week Palantir also has done very well for the first few weeks of 2025. But it also crashed. This is a very frothy market, tech military startups isn't it?Keith Teare: I wouldn't say crashed. It's up like 200%. If you're an investor in Palantir and you've been holding, you wouldn't be too upset by this pullback. The world we're living in, and I'm not a fan of this by any means, but military investment by private companies selling to governments is going to be a rising trend because governments can't really innovate the military. They're so stuck with old fashioned views of what conflict might look like. It's interesting that even Musk and DOGE this week and Trump announced they're going to try to reduce the U.S. military budget by 10% annually.Andrew Keen: And they've seen some cuts. And I think when historians look back, the rise of companies like Saronic, the DOGE initiative, and the behavior which I'm like most people, I think rather critical of, of pulling back from Ukraine, they're all going to be part of the same narrative. Something is profoundly changing here on the military industrial, but the military political from the US's involvement in the world and the technological piece of this.Finally, post of the week and it comes back to the conversation you and I were just having about Tim Wu. Robert Reich, a well-known MSNBC type who was in the Clinton administration, posted that there are basically five ways to accumulate $1 billion: profiting from a monopoly, insider trading, political payoffs, fraud and inheritance. And Brad Gerstner, amongst others, was horrified with this. He said it was such a terrible, bitter and sad take on America. I'm assuming you're in the Gerstner camp, Keith.Keith Teare: I am, but that isn't why I posted it. I posted it because I wanted to focus on the absolute chasm between the democratic intellectual elite and the rest of us. Robert Reich almost is saying that you have to be a criminal to get rich. And that isn't how most people think.Andrew Keen: The American dream, right? But I, being a great fan of Reich, think he is the dinosaur of dinosaurs, but he isn't saying that. He's talking about being a billionaire. That's not being rich. So you have to distinguish.Keith Teare: This might be shocking to the listeners and maybe even to you, but it isn't that hard to become a billionaire if you do the right things these days, because 4 billion people on Earth are consuming technology outputs at increasing rates and paying for that. Being a billionaire is like what used to be being a millionaire. And it's only going up.Andrew Keen: I've got my title of this week's show Keith. "Keith Teare says it's not that hard to be a billionaire." How close are you to being a billionaire?Keith Teare: I've been very close twice in my career.Andrew Keen: No you haven't. When?Keith Teare: Absolutely have. Both RealNames and Easynet were valued at well over $1 billion.Andrew Keen: Yeah, but you didn't own the whole thing.Keith Teare: I owned a lot. And by the way, it was early in the life of the companies, and that was in 1994 and 1999. In 2025, those would be small outcomes. Today's outcomes, getting a company to be worth $1 billion happens early. That early stage unicorns point happens early.Andrew Keen: But let's be clear as well. What Reich is talking about is not billionaires. And as I said, I'm not particularly sympathetic to what he's saying either. But he's talking about real billionaires, people with $1 billion in the bank or with investors.Keith Teare: Let's just ask this question. Look back at what Reich says, and let's answer a few questions. Where would the brothers who run Stripe fit on that list? They're worth much more than $1 billion. They're not anywhere on that list. Where is Musk on that list? Where is Bezos on that list? Where are the founders of Google on that list?Andrew Keen: No, I agree with you. I think that he's wrong to say there are basically five ways to accumulate $1 billion: profiting from monopoly, insider trading, political payoffs, fraud and inheritance. You're absolutely right. But my disagreement with you is it's still incredibly hard to be a billionaire. How many billionaires are there in the US?Keith Teare: Of course it's hard.Andrew Keen: But you just said it was not that hard to be a billionaire.Keith Teare: Let me tell you what I mean by that. It's the easiest it's ever been, and it's going to get easier.Andrew Keen: Or it's easiest it's ever been because of inflation.Keith Teare: No, because of the scale of distribution networks and the revenues that come back from them. It used to be super hard. When I did Easynet, we had to put floppy disks on the front of magazines to distribute our software. When I did my most recent startups, you put an app in two app stores, and it's in the whole world the next day. And so the flow of money that comes from the ease of distribution of software to people who can pay for it if they like it, has completely changed the dynamics.Andrew Keen: I take your point. But coming back to this issue, how do you consider wealth? Who is rich? How much do you have to earn?Keith Teare: I think rich is totally subjective from your point of view. I thought I was rich when I didn't have credit card debt back in the day.Andrew Keen: Meaningless term, then. It's just entirely subjective.Keith Teare: Yes, but you can build the pyramid of wealth in terms of a smaller number of people at the top with very large amounts of wealth and go down to the bottom where lots of people have nothing. And that pyramid will change its shape and the scale at different levels through history, usually in a positive direction. That's one of the results of the socialization of production and the coming together of the human race into a single GDP growth. There's never been a period in human history recently where that pie or pyramid hasn't improved in both scale and distribution.Andrew Keen: As a bit frothy Keith, your new middle name is Keith "It's not that hard to be a billionaire" Teare. But coming back to Reich, I do agree with you. I think his approach is absurdly negative and reactionary, and the idea that you can't become a billionaire unless you're basically cheating, unless you're an inside trader or fraudulent or inherit money from someone else. He couldn't be more wrong on that, given, as you say, the Stripe guys, the Google guys, the Amazon people, even Musk. I'm no great fan of his but he didn't cheat to become a billionaire.Keith Teare: And you've got to believe, and this is why I put it in, that what he's saying is received wisdom in the minds of people like Lina Khan and Elizabeth Warren.Andrew Keen: That you're going to pick on your friend Lina Khan and Tim Wu as well. Wu teaches at Columbia. I wonder what Wu would say about that. I wonder whether Wu would argue that in a decentralized capitalism, it would be possible to be a billionaire. I'd have to get him back on the show to talk about that. Would we want a society, Keith? A decentralized capitalism where nobody was a millionaire, where the wealthiest people were worth 50 or $100 million?Keith Teare: No, I think the nightmare scenario for the future is that as production socializes and globalizes, a very small number of people control the wealth. But I think that's the right place to discuss how does the wealth get distributed to everyone? So you uplift human life, not just a few individuals, but I don't think you achieve that by trying to break up monopolies.Andrew Keen: The point is, it's not even breaking up monopolies. Reich's point is that one way to get $1 billion is to profit from monopoly. But the Google people, it's back to Peter Thiel's argument. Any entrepreneur wants to be a monopoly, that's the nature of doing startups. You want to win and winning becomes a monopoly, right? For better or worse. Google didn't start as a monopoly. Maybe it is one now because it's successful.Keith Teare: That's correct. If everyone was a failure, there'd be no monopolies. It's only success that creates market power and monopolies. It's a little bit like the word fascist. It's become a swear word to describe anything big. And fascist has become a swear word to describe anyone you disagree with. The truth is, these words mean things. Monopolies do get built. Google isn't one, in my opinion. And when they do, there's usually benefits that people are enjoying, which is why they're successful. And the key is how do you transition the world from massively concentrated private wealth to widely distributed aggregate wealth?Andrew Keen: And that's not about breaking up companies.Keith Teare: No, it's about distributing wealth, not breaking up companies.Andrew Keen: Also with Reich, there are lots of politically responsible or politically liberal billionaires. Reed Hoffman comes to mind. We talked about him last week. Finally, and this comes back to your point, Gerstner had another interesting post this week. He said the DOGE dividend could be a massive, game-changing legacy for Trump. Just one day of DOGE savings, apparently - this is what they claim, who knows whether they're really saving it - $3.7 billion could fund a private investment account with $1,000 for each child born in America. With just a little added per year, this could grow to $200,000 by age 30. Do you think Trump needs to do something radical on this front because he's not getting a great deal of good press on DOGE? A lot of people are losing their jobs every day. There are heart-rending stories of laid-off people. And it's not the billionaires losing their jobs. They're being fired by the billionaires. It's people working at poorly paid jobs in the first place. So does he need to do something with all the money he's supposed to have saved? Maybe in terms of a sovereign wealth fund or something more innovative?Keith Teare: What Gerstner is talking about there is about the distribution of wealth. It's one example of it. I think it's unlikely that Trump has the DNA to really follow through on anything like that. I don't think Donald Trump has any kind of social awareness at all about uplifting everybody. I do think there are people that do think like that. Sam Altman is one of them, and Reed Hoffman may be another, where the question of if there is abundance, how does everyone benefit from it? That's a real question. Gerstner's idea is not terrible, but I think it's a macro idea. There's a much bigger conversation needed than how to deploy the DOGE savings.Andrew Keen: I agree with you. And I think that I also agree with you on the Reich front that his kind of thinking, which is purely negative, is pointless. And what's missing on the progressive side amongst Democrats are creative, innovative thinking about the redistribution of wealth, rather than just taxing the rich or making it illegal to be a billionaire.Keith Teare: Yes.Andrew Keen: Well, we're in agreement, Keith.Keith Teare: Shocking.Andrew Keen: Shocking agreement. Although we disagree, I think it is still hard to be a billionaire. One thing I can guarantee is I've never been close and I never will be a billionaire. You say you've been close. What are the chances in the next few years, Keith, that you're going to be a billionaire from Signal Rank?Keith Teare: Don't even think about it. I think about what Signal Rank can do for everyone else. And if it does well, I'll do well.Andrew Keen: Go on bro. If it does well, I hope you'll pay me for this show. Keith Teare, publisher of That Was The Week. The man who argues that it's not that hard to be a millionaire. It's still a little hard, Keith, but we will be back next week to talk more billionaires, unicorns, AI, and everything else in the world of tech. Have a great week and we'll be back at this time next week. Thanks, Keith.Keith Teare: Bye. This is a public episode.

In 2022, Just Stop Oil protestors threw tomato soup on a Van Gogh painting in London. The world collectively gasped, but some UK lawmakers responded by supporting fewer investments in new oil projects. On this episode, meet one of those soup-throwers, and hear from two other people who have been part of creative protests: a spokesperson from an anti-circumcision group that wears all white with giant, red splotches on the groin area; and a woman who organized a college campus protest featuring thousands of sex toys to rally against Texas gun laws. GUESTS: Anna Holland: Member of Just Stop Oil, a nonviolent civil resistance group demanding that the UK Government stop licensing all new oil, gas and coal projects. In 2022, alongside Phoebe Plummer, they threw tomato soup onto Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers" painting in London's National Gallery Harry Guiremand: Spokesperson for the anti-circumcision group, Bloodstained Men and Their Friends. They protest wearing all white with red splotches of paint over their groin Jessica Jin: Organizer of Cocks Not Glocks, protesting Texas laws that allow concealed handguns on college campuses, while openly carrying sex toys is a Class C misdemeanor Support the show: https://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In de nieuwste aflevering van de kunstreeks nemen we je mee op een unieke natuurwandeling door het Van Gogh Museum. In deze speciale editie van 'Kunst in de Kijker' richten we ons op schilderijen waarin vooral de natuur centraal staat. Vincent heeft relatief weinig vogels geschilderd alhoewel hij wel in hun nestjes geïnteresseerd was. Toch weet Arjan twee kraanvogels in een van zijn werken te spotten. Samen ontdekken we hoe bijzonder Vincent van Gogh de natuur vastlegde en hoe ontroerend zijn verhaal is. In vogelvlucht (pun intended) nemen we jullie mee door het leven van Vincent en laat Gisbert, die ongekend groot fan is, zien waarom hij niet voor niets de status heeft bereikt van aller grootste schilder ooit.

Le 29 juillet 1890, le peintre néerlandais Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) meurt à Auvers-sur-Oise, deux jours après s'être tiré un coup de revolver dans la poitrine. Ce suicide, comme le train de vie du célèbre peintre, contribue à alimenter le mythe de l'artiste maudit qui, aujourd'hui encore, entoure sa figure. Pour déconstruire cette légende tenace, Virginie Girod reçoit Wouter van der Veen. Historien de l'art, grand spécialiste de la vie et de l'oeuvre de Vincent Van Gogh, il est secrétaire général et directeur scientifique de l'Institut Van-Gogh.

“Great things are done by a series of small things done together” – Vincent van Gogh. In other words, we must create a system of small tasks and habits and string them together to achieve sustainable results quickly.    What sales system do you use, if you have one at all? I just had a conversation with someone about sales from a mindset perspective.  No judgment: salespeople face an inner game, and our mindset or inner dialog can be a catalyst or a log jam for sales success.   So, in addition to mindset, all salespeople need to create a tangible, duplicatable sales system that can be taught and repeated so we can better predict sales results, our return on time, and money spent on sales activities.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ta5GG4o1apk   About Connie Whitman: Known for her high-energy, passionate, heart-centered, and enthusiastic approach to sales, teaching, and coaching, Connie Whitman has been the CEO of Changing the Sales Game for 25+ years, helping business owners, leaders, and sales teams build powerhouse organizations.   Connie is a four-time #1 International Best-Selling author, including her book ESP (Easy Sales Process): 7-Steps to Sales Success, speaker, and podcast host.  Her inspired teaching, transformational tools, and content ensure business owners and salespeople grow their revenue streams through enhanced communication skills.

Society ridiculed the modern art she loved, so Lillie P. Bliss set out to create a museum to house it. It might be hard to imagine, but there was a time when the work of modern artists like Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Paul Cézanne was ridiculed by the public. Despite all the criticism, three women founded a museum dedicated to art that was new. In this edition of the Magazine podcast, we explore the life and work of Lillie P. Bliss, one of MoMA's three founders and a passionate advocate for modern art. Bliss is also the subject of MoMA's exhibition Lillie P. Bliss and the Birth of the Modern. Described by her niece as “the most typical Victorian daughter,” the dutiful Bliss nonetheless defied not only society but her parents by going on to build an art collection that became the cornerstone of The Museum of Modern Art.

On this day in 1888, Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear, later painting a self-portrait featuring the bandaged wound. 

This episode is hosted by Kavon and Octavio andwill discuss Vincent van Gogh's The Night Café,which is a striking and unconventional depiction of alate-night gathering space, which he famouslydescribed as “one of the ugliest paintings” he hadever created. The painting portrays deliberate“ugliness” that challenges traditional aesthetics toimmerse viewers in the emotional intensity of thescene. This leaves you to consider, is it ugly or is itactually a beautiful of emotion?

“We've just created a hereditary aristocracy in this society, and it has created a populist backlash.” (David Brooks, from the episode) There's a growing chasm that divides the affluent and non-affluent in American society, and it's perhaps most pronounced in higher education. The elite meritocracy suggests that we should reward individual ability, ambition, and accomplishment. But what is “merit” anyway? What is “ability”? And how do they factor in our idea of “a successful life”? In this episode Mark Labberton welcomes David Brooks (columnist, New York Times) for a conversation about elite meritocracy in higher education. Together they discuss the meaning of merit, ability, success, and their roles in a good human life; hereditary aristocracy and the populist backlash; power and overemphasis on intelligence; the importance of curiosity for growing and becoming a better person; the value of cognitive ability over character and other skills; the centrality of desire in human life; moral formation and the gospel according to Ted Lasso; ambition versus aspiration; and the impact of meritocracy on the political life and policy. About David Brooks David Brooks is an op-ed columnist for the New York Times. His latest book is How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. He is also the author of The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life, Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There, The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, and founder of Weave: The Social Fabric Project. Show Notes “How the Ivy League Broke America” (via The Atlantic) “The meritocracy isn't working. We need something new.” Money and the elite meritocracy “Every nation has a social ideal. And for the first half of the twentieth century, and the last half of the nineteenth century, our social ideal was the well-bred man.” (e.g., Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Roosevelt to George H.W. Bush) “Rich people rigged the system.” “Now, if you come from a family in the top 1 percent, your odds of going to an Ivy League school are seventy-seven times higher than if you come from a poor family. And a lot of schools around the country have more students in the top 1 percent than the bottom 60 percent.” “We now have this chasm between the children of the affluent and the children of the non-affluent.” Shocking stats: “By eighth grade, children of the affluent are four grade levels higher than children of the non-affluent. People who grew up in college-educated homes live eight years longer than people in high-school-educated homes, they're five times less likely to die of opioid addiction, they're twenty-two times less likely to have children out of wedlock, they're two and a half times less likely to say they have no close friends.” “We've just created a hereditary aristocracy in this society, and it has created a populist backlash.” Too much power What is “merit”? How do you define “merit”? Who has “ability”? IQ is not a good indicator of merit. “Our meritocracy measures people by how well they do in school. The definition of intelligence is academic ability.” “What's the correlation between getting good grades in school and doing well in life? The correlation is basically zero.” “We measure people by how they do in one setting, which is the classroom. And then we use that to declare how prepared they are for another setting, which is the workplace.” “Augustine said, we're primarily not thinking creatures, we're primarily desiring creatures.” Leon Kass (University of Chicago): “What defines a person is the ruling passion of their soul.” “We become what we love.” Predominant emotion of fear Curiosity, the love of learning, and getting better every day “You're plenty smart. You're just not curious.” Tina Turner's memoir, discovering her voice and self-respect. “What matters is being a grower, the ability to keep growing.” “Getting old takes guts.” (David Brooks's eighty-nine-year-old father) A sense of purpose The drive for the future, to be bold Henry Delacroix and the genius of America to drive for boldness, hard work, growth, and energy Moral materialism Vincent van Gogh said, “I'm in it with all my heart.” Paul Cézanne and Émile Zola, L'Oeuvre Yo-Yo Ma, cello, elite performance, and passionate humanity: “I'm a people person.” “Look at these creatures. They're amazing!” Ordinary people in ordinary circumstances “Social intelligence” is not really intelligence—it's an emotional capacity. Individuals and teams “What makes a good team? It's not the IQ of the individuals. It's the ability to take turns while talking. It's the ability to volley ideas and to feed into a common funnel of thought.” Project Based Learning Most Likely to Succeed (documentary, High Tech High) The Hour Between Dog and Wolf John Coates Self-awareness and adeptness reading your own body Emotional agility “The mind is built for motion. That what we do in life, we don't solve problems, we navigate complex terrains.” “We're all pilgrims. And we're all searching for the journey that will transform us. And so it's, the mind is not this computer designed to solve problems. The mind has helped us navigate through a space. And if we do it well, then we become transformed.” Applying meritocracy to the 2024 election “If you segregate your society on IQ, You're inherently segregating on elitist grounds.” “The rebellion that is Donald Trump.” Jesus's form of selection—“When Jesus was selecting his twelve, he didn't give them all a bunch of standardized tests. … He saw that each person was made in the image of God.” “And to me, what (frankly) the Christian world offers us is a re centring of the human person.” Controlling the passions of your heart Christian humanism Ecce Homo Rene Girard and mimetic desire Ambition vs. Aspiration The gospel of Ted Lasso and David Brooks's favorite definition of moral formation: “My goal is to make these fellas better versions of themselves on and off the field.” *Still Evangelical* (essay by Mark Labberton) “Am I yet evangelical?” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

There's no time like this time for Standard TimeIn most of Canada and the US, our clocks are “falling back” an hour as we switch to Standard time for the winter and as usual we're hearing mutterings about abandoning the time change.. Chronobiologists like Malcolm von Schantz, who study our internal circadian rhythms, are saying that if we do ditch the practice, we should revert to standard time instead of having permanent daylight time, because morning light is very important to regulating our circadian rhythms, as is having darkness in the evening time. Von Schantz recently co-authored a letter with the British Sleep Society, published in the Journal of Sleep Research, calling for the UK government to end to the practice.Sorry beavers and Polar bears – the unique Canadian animals are not what you thinkBiologists have investigated which animals, by range and evolutionary history, are most unique in Canada as part of an attempt to get a more accurate picture of Canadian biodiversity. The research, led by Arne Mooers from Simon Fraser University, highlights animals such as the mudpuppy, the osprey, the virginia opossum, and the two-tailed frog. At the top of the list is the spiny softshell turtle, which branched away from its family tree 180 million years ago. The research was published in the journal The Canadian Field-Naturalist. A corpse in a well makes a macabre myth realA story recorded in a 12th century Norse saga of a violent attack on a castle has been validated with the discovery and identification of human remains. The story goes that the invaders dropped a dead man into the castle well in order to poison its water supply before departing. That man's remains have now been found. Dr. Anna Petersén, an archeologist at the Norwegian Institute of Cultural Heritage Research, worked with a team to identify and date the remains of this 800 year old skeleton. Their study, published in the journal iScience, revealed he was between 30 - 40 years old, and had blonde hair and blue eyes.A wide range of animals take a tippleIndulgence in alcohol is seen as a largely human vice, but biologists have collected evidence that a much wider range of animals from insects to apes will seek out ethanol, often in fermented fruit, and will, on occasion, overindulge. Dr. Matthew Carrigan, an associate professor of biology at the College of Central Florida says that some birds that fly into windows have been found to have high levels of ethanol, and intoxicated fruit flies will make poor mating choices. The study was published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution.Tapping into science for a greater appreciation of artistic masterpiecesRecent studies of two of the world's most famous paintings by Dutch artists have provided surprising insights into the depths of their art. A new analysis of the entire sky in Vincent van Gogh's painting, The Starry Night, which includes 14 swirling eddies shows how the artist intuitively understood the nature of turbulence, an incredibly complex phenomenon of fluid dynamics. Francois Schmitt, an oceanographer and research director at France's National Centre for Scientific Research and his team published their research in the journal Physics of Fluids. To figure out what it was about Johannes Vermeer's painting, Girl with the Pearl Earring, that viewers find so captivating, the Mauritshuis museum where the artwork hangs in The Hague commissioned a neuroscientific study. Andries van der Leij, the research director of Neurensics — a consumer neuroscience company — and lecturer at the University of Amsterdam, said they found that people's eyes were automatically drawn to the girl's eyes, mouth and pearl earring in a way that drew them in for an emotional experience.

Did you know that: · Vincent van Gogh's attempt to start an artist's colony with Paul Gauguin lasted only nine weeks, ending in his infamous "ear episode"? · Pablo Picasso was a prime suspect in the disappearance of the Mona Lisa? · Artemisia Gentileschi was tortured with thumbscrews to verify her testimony at her own rapist's trial? · Norman Rockwell's critics said his work would never be accepted as "high art"--and he agreed? These stories--and many more--shaped the work these artists left behind. In their art are lessons common to the human experience about the wonder and struggle of being alive: dreams lost, perspectives changed, and humility derived through suffering. Russ Ramsey will join us to dig into these artists' stories to mine the transcendent beauty and hard lessons we can take from their masterpieces and their lives. Each story from some of history's most celebrated artists applies the beauty of the Gospel in a way that speaks to the suffering and hope we all face.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On September 29, a predicted one million people were going to show up for the Rescue the Republic event in Washington DC. Founded by the libertarian party chair, the Defeat the Mandates founder, and “professor in exile,” Bret Weinstein, about 1,500 mostly MAGA acolytes showed up. Yet the event represents something a long time building in America: the strange and at times uncomfortable merging of wellness and right-wing politics via MAHA and MAGA. Sure, RFK Jr was there, but today we're going to look at a few figures we haven't covered in a while, or at all. As can be expected in conspiracy land, the C-list celebrities brought some of the most outlandish, and most dangerous, ideas along with them.
