Pourquoi la climatisation est-elle une invention sexiste ?

Choses à Savoir

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 2, 2025 2:17


La climatisation, symbole du confort moderne, cache une histoire étonnamment… sexiste. Ce n'est évidemment pas la machine en elle-même qui l'est, mais la manière dont elle a été conçue et réglée depuis des décennies. Derrière la fraîcheur des bureaux se cache un biais scientifique ancien : la climatisation a été pensée pour les hommes, au détriment du confort — et parfois de la santé — des femmes.Tout remonte aux années 1960, lorsque les normes de climatisation ont été établies pour les bâtiments modernes. Les ingénieurs se basaient alors sur un modèle physiologique unique : un homme de 40 ans, pesant 70 kilos, vêtu d'un costume de bureau. Sa température corporelle, son métabolisme et son niveau d'activité servaient de référence pour calculer la température dite « idéale » — généralement autour de 21 à 22 °C.Problème : le métabolisme féminin est en moyenne 20 à 30 % plus lent que celui des hommes. Cela signifie que les femmes produisent moins de chaleur corporelle, et qu'elles ressentent donc davantage le froid. Des études, dont une très remarquée publiée dans la revue Nature Climate Change en 2015, ont confirmé ce déséquilibre. Les chercheurs de l'Université de Maastricht y démontrent que la température idéale pour la majorité des femmes serait plutôt autour de 24 à 25 °C. Autrement dit, ce qui semble agréable à un homme en chemise peut être glacial pour une collègue en blouse ou en robe légère.Ce biais n'est pas seulement une question de confort : il illustre une inégalité structurelle dans la conception des espaces de travail. Pendant des décennies, les standards techniques — qu'il s'agisse de température, de sièges, de ceintures de sécurité ou même d'outils — ont été définis selon des données masculines. Résultat : dans de nombreux bureaux, les femmes enfilent des gilets, des plaids ou des manteaux en été, pendant que leurs collègues masculins travaillent tranquillement en manches courtes.Les choses commencent toutefois à changer. Certains architectes et ingénieurs repensent aujourd'hui les normes thermiques pour les adapter à la diversité des corps, des vêtements et des usages. La climatisation devient ainsi un symbole du débat sur le genre dans la conception technologique : un rappel que même les inventions les plus neutres en apparence peuvent refléter des biais profondément ancrés.En somme, si la climatisation est considérée comme « sexiste », c'est parce qu'elle illustre parfaitement comment l'homme-type — au sens littéral — a trop longtemps servi de modèle universel.

If the delivery person succeeds (they don't drop it or give up or exceed a time limit), they get a reward (such as getting to pee in the house instead of into a bottle in the delivery truck), and if they fail, the homeowner who created the obstacle course gets a reward (such as choosing an additional package from the delivery truck). Also: examples of obstacles could include water or foam pits, tennis ball shooters, dogs, snakes, slides, and mousetraps; the employer would need to give the delivery person a break from their strict driving schedule to enable them to do an obstacle course; the obstacle course could double-up as yard decoration for an existing holiday, or "Prime Day" could be made into a new holiday where these obstacle courses are part of the festivities; an obstacle course could serve as a deterrent against package thieves Chris Barnwood (facebook.com/chris.barnwood instagram.com/chrisbarnwood) Alex Wilson (youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor instagram.com/thedropoutprofessor Email: alexwilsoncomedy@gmail.com) Wes Allen (facebook.com/wes.allen.264240 instagram.com/wesallencomedy Email: wesallencomedy@gmail.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

This week on World Ocean Radio, our host Peter Neill is thinking about the word "solastalgia", described as a deep grief over changing landscapes that were once familiar; feeling ‘homesick' while still being at home, due to rapid alterations to the environment; the stress from experiencing change and loss in the face of rapid, disruptive change. Peter suggests that solastalgia may offer the opposite effects of hopelessness, melancholy, and despair, providing the conditions for commitment, engagement, dedication, optimism, and invention.About World Ocean RadioWorld Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Retrouvez l'épisode en version française ici : https://www.gdiy.fr/podcast/reid-hoffman-vf/“There is no if. There is only when.”That's how Reid Hoffman answers when asked whether AI will revolutionize business, help govern nations, or cure cancer.And he's earned the right to say it. In the six months between his first appearance on GDIY and this one, we've witnessed some of the biggest breakthroughs in AI history.But those same six months have also deepened the rift between the U.S. and Europe.While most of Silicon Valley's leaders are bowing to President Trump's politics of fear, Reid remains one of the few willing to challenge it — defending freedom of speech in its purest form, not the version sanctioned by power.After co-founding PayPal and LinkedIn, he went on to serve on the boards of dozens of companies including OpenAI until 2023, and Microsoft, where he still sits today.He also advises several governments seeking to understand how AI can be deployed responsibly across society — and even in governance itself.In this episode, Reid shares how to unlock AI's full potential, and how he personally uses it every day : to write, to think, and to challenge his own ideas.A brilliant, grounded mind — far from the radical “tech bros” — driven not by hype, but by a genuine belief in progress.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : “AI is a fantastic enablement of human connection”00:10:05 : Reid's best hacks for daily uses of AI00:20:13 : How to help governments deploy AI in society00:31:24 : What Trump's fear-based government is changing in the US00:49:48 : The vibe-coding revolution and why you should pay attention01:01:53 : Curing cancers with AI?01:06:55 : Why everybody should use AI, even retired people01:13:23 : Start a company with $0 in 2025: what would Reid do01:20:14 : Amazon, Microsoft, Google: who's winning the AI race01:28:17 : “Don't be anxious.

An estimated 2 million stents are implanted into people's hearts around the world each year – making it one of the key treatments for heart disease. The treatment was invented by Argentinian doctor Julio Palmaz, who credits a piece of metal being left by a construction worker in his home as inspiration for the structure of the stent. Collaborating with a US Army cardiologist and getting funding from the owner of a fast-food chain and a pharmaceutical giant; the coronary stent was approved for use in human beings in the 1990s. Julio Palmaz speaks to Tim O'Callaghan about his invention. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

People who live the longest aren't always the ones with the “perfect” body weight. In fact, research suggests that being slightly overweight can actually increase your life expectancy. It sounds counterintuitive, but the science may surprise you. Listen as I explain what's really going on. https://healthland.time.com/2013/01/02/being-overweight-is-linked-to-lower-risk-of-mortality/ Ever since the dawn of the Internet, we've been told to guard against hackers — but today's biggest threat isn't hacking, it's scamming. Cybercriminals are more cunning than ever, tricking millions into giving up money and information every day. If you think you are too clever to be taken by cyber-scammers, think again. Eric O'Neill — former FBI undercover operative, national security attorney, and cybersecurity strategist — reveals how modern scams work and how to stop them before they get to you. He's the author of Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime: Cybersecurity Tactics to Outsmart Hackers and Disarm Scammers (https://amzn.to/4nRvvv1). Imagine medicine without X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. It's impossible — these imaging breakthroughs revolutionized how doctors diagnose and treat disease. Yet not long ago, the idea of seeing inside the body without a single incision was pure fantasy. Dr. Daniel K. Sodickson, chief of innovation in radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and author of The Future of Seeing: How Imaging Is Changing Our World (https://amzn.to/3KNz3zS), shares the fascinating story of how imaging transformed modern medicine — and what's coming next. Sarcasm might seem like just a clever way to joke around but it's actually good exercise for your brain. Using and understanding sarcasm requires multiple parts of your mind to work together.

Text usOn Night 26 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we step into the flickering workshop of memory with “My Grandfather's Final Invention” by Alice Thompson—a haunting story of legacy, obsession, and the ghosts we leave behind in the name of progress.It begins with a granddaughter uncovering the remnants of her grandfather's secret work—an invention whispered about but never revealed. What she finds in the dust and shadows of his abandoned study challenges everything she thought she knew about him. Piece by piece, the truth begins to take shape: a machine built not to serve, but to remember; not to live, but to linger.As the story unfolds, the line between creation and curse grows dangerously thin. The question becomes not what he built—but why it's still running.Credits:Story: “My Grandfather's Final Invention” by Alice ThompsonNarration: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Produced by: Mickie EberzMusic by: EmpressClosing Song: “In the Name of Love” by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

In this conversation, Drs. Gaurav Suri and Jay Mcclelland delves into the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence and human cognition, exploring similarities and differences, the evolution of AI from rule-based systems to learning models, and the concept of emergence in both fields. The discussion also touches on the efficiency of human learning compared to AI, the role of consciousness, and the ethical implications of AI technology.Takeaways AI and human intelligence share similarities in neural network frameworks. Artificial systems lack the goal-directed nature inherent in humans. Humans learn more efficiently than current AI systems. Neural networks can adapt to language nuances better than rule-based systems. Emergence explains how collective intelligence arises from individual components. Memory in neural networks is represented through connections, not individual units. Mathematics is both invented and discovered, shaped by human needs. Understanding consciousness is crucial for AI development. Human misuse of AI poses significant risks. Recognizing ourselves as processes can foster empathy and morality.Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Backgrounds 01:00 AI vs Human Mind: Similarities and Differences 03:32 The Shift from Rule-Based AI to Learning Systems 09:07 Emergence in Cognition: Ant Colonies and Intelligence 15:25 Distributed Representations and Memory Storage 23:53 The Nature of Memory and Its Malleability 25:40 Emergence of Mathematical Concepts 29:50 The Invention vs. Discovery Debate in Mathematics 32:19 Learning Mechanisms: Brain vs. AI 36:48 Consciousness: Function and Implications 41:13 AI Risks: Human Misuse vs. AI Autonomy 43:45 Living with Emergence: Understanding Ourselves and Others 48:22 Exploring the Emergent MindFollow Gaurav Suri on LinkedIn.

There's something about the World's Fairs that has always captured my imagination. Whenever I read about them or stumble across old photos or souvenir postcards, I feel like I'm looking into a time when humanity wasn't just dreaming about the future—we were building it in real time. As someone who spends a lot of time researching history and genealogy, I find myself wondering what my ancestors must have thought when they walked through those incredible pavilions or gazed up at structures the world had never seen before. The World's Fairs weren't just exhibitions—they were moments where the world agreed to press pause and marvel together. They combined science, culture, and art with an optimism that feels rare today. Many of the things we rely on or enjoy daily had their public debut at a World's Fair.

Most economists believe that growth is the surest path to better lives. This has proven to be one of humanity's most powerful and dangerous ideas. It shapes policy across the globe, but it fatally undermines the natural ecosystems necessary to sustain human life. How did we get here and what might be next?In The Invention of Infinite Growth: How Economists Forgot About the Natural World (Simon and Schuster, 2025), environmental historian Christopher F. Jones takes us through two hundred and fifty years of economic thinking to examine the ideal of growth, its powerful influence, and the crippling burdens many decisions made in its name have placed on us all. Jones argues that the pursuit of growth has never reflected its costs, because economists downplay environmental degradation. What's worse, skyrocketing inequality and diminishing improvements in most people's well-being mean growth too often delivers too little for too many. Jones urges economists to engage more broadly with other ways of thinking, as well as with citizens and governments to recognize and slow infinite growth's impact on the real world. Both accessible and eye-opening, The Invention of Infinite Growth offers hope for the future. Humans have not always believed that economic growth could or should continue, and so it is possible for us to change course. We can still create new ideas about how to promote environmental sustainability, human welfare, and even responsible growth, without killing the planet and ourselves.
