Ram Dass explores the power and trials of relationships based on truth. “The truth is scary,” he says. “Truth keeps shattering your models of how you think it ought to be.” He explains how dualistic methods such as relationships and devotional yoga can help bring us into non-dualism and straddle the thin line between chaos and cosmos.Want to participate in the discussion about this episode of Here and Now?

You might look at your partner and suddenly they look like a skeleton. ‘Good morning dear, you look absolutely ghastly.' Can you handle that in a relationship? A relationship based on truth follows the very fine line between chaos and cosmos.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In spring 1974, over a dozen smallpox outbreaks sprang up throughout the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Determined to find the source of the cases, American smallpox eradication worker Larry Brilliant and a local partner, Zaffar Hussain, launched an investigation.The answer: Each outbreak could be traced back to Tatanagar, a city run by one of India's largest corporations, the Tata Group.When Brilliant arrived at the Tatanagar Railway Station, he was horrified by what he saw: people with active cases of smallpox purchasing train tickets. The virus was spreading out of control.Brilliant knew that to stop the outbreak at its source, he would need the support of the company that ran the city. But he wasn't optimistic the Tata Group would help.Still, he had to try. So, Brilliant tracked down a Tata executive and knocked on his door in the middle of the night.Brilliant's message: “Your company is sending death all over the world. You're the greatest exporter of smallpox in history.”Much to his surprise, the leaders of Tata listened.Episode 5 of “Eradicating Smallpox” explores the unique partnership between the Tata Group and the campaign to end the virus. This collaboration between the private and public sector, domestic and international, proved vital in the fight to eliminate smallpox.To conclude the episode, host Céline Gounder speaks with NBA commissioner Adam Silver and virologist David Ho about the basketball league's unique response to covid-19 — “the bubble” — and the essential role businesses can play in public health. “We need everyone involved,” Ho said, “from government, to academia, to the private sector.”In Conversation With Host Céline Gounder:Adam SilverCommissioner of the NBADavid HoDirector and CEO of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research CenterVoices From the Episode:Larry BrilliantFormer World Health Organization smallpox eradication worker in India@larrybrilliant Find a transcript of this episode here.“Epidemic” is a co-production of KFF Health News and Just Human Productions.To hear other KFF Health News podcasts, click here.Subscribe to “Epidemic” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

What's On My Bookshelf? A Review: Plagues Upon the Earth, by Kyle Harper - The Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse | Part 3 - Highlights Coronaviruses and influenza viruses are the ones that we are currently worried about. H5N1 (a bird flu)...if it ever gets airborne...it's got a 60% death rate. (Dr. Larry Brilliant, Harvard Magazine) It is the advance of scientific knowledge, actualized by public policy and private behavior, that has given humans the advantage over microbial threats. Science and state-craft are the keys to the Great Escape. Science As of 1870, only a small Avant-garde of researchers believed that familiar diseases were caused by invisible living agents. But by 1900, for a scientist or medical professional to believe anything else was becoming ignorant. The Hygiene Revolution - The principles of germ theory inspired renewed efforts to disinfect the personal and household environments. The war against bugs - Insects that had once seemed a mere nuisance were now seen as vehicles with deadly payloads. Chemical Control of Pathogens - Dysentery was still a major health problem in the developed world, and typhoid remained – until chlorination. The most important reason we can drink a glass of water today and not feel even a hint of dread is because it has been treated with chlorine. Antibiotics - Starting in the 1940's...Antibiotics delivered us from the long period of human history when the simplest wound was a mortal threat. Vaccines - Small pox was a success story. So was the measles vaccine. The vaccine was licensed in the U.S. in 1963, and measles infections fell instantaneously. A disease that once caused 1 million cases a year in the United States was reduced to an annual incidence of fewer than 100. Globally, In the early 1980s, 2.5 million children died annually from the measles. By 2018, mortality has been reduced to 140,000 deaths. Public Policy Improvements in life expectancy are generated not by ideas alone but by ideas that are put into action, especially by capable governments that care about the heath of their citizens...The control of infectious disease, by its very nature, requires collective and coordinate action. Investments in public water systems were among the largest, and might even have been the largest, public investments in American history and they had a larger impact on human mortality than any other public health initiative. The household toilet is a private portal into the sprawling subterranean circuitry quietly gathering our collective muck. Several times a day we sit astride a section of the largest and most expensive environmental infrastructure in the world – the vast underground systems of sewers and waste-water treatment plants that are a defining feature of the developed world. The federal government erected an infrastructure for agricultural and veterinary science early on, and precocious American agro-science is an underrated storyline in the global emergence of germ theory and the biochemical control of infectious disease. Paradoxically, we are in some ways more fragile than our ancestors, precisely because our societies depend on the level of security against infectious disease that may be unrealistic We have much to learn from the experience of those who lived and died before us. It is urgent that we do so. 

At the time of this writing, the White House just announced its intent to end the COVID-19 pandemic "state-of-emergency" designation in the months ahead. Is this a political move or one informed by science? We met with Pandefense Advisory CEO, Larry Brilliant, to learn the latest of what we do and do not know about the real threats of COVID-19 and related outbreaks. What is the history of vaccines in general? What are the criticisms of the standard narrative about CV19? Did CV19 come from the Wuhan open air market or a bio-weapons laboratory? Is there a third credible possible origin of the pathogen itself? How much do we need to worry about the next pandemic? Do lockdowns make sense? In closing, we learned how an accidental hippy stumbled into eradicating smallpox, befriended Steve Jobs and pioneered social media itself to become, "the luckiest guy on earth." Join us.

As part of our Reasons for Optimism series, we speak with physician and epidemiologist Dr. Larry Brilliant. He was part of the World Health Organization campaign to eradicate smallpox in the 1970s, and he's now the CEO of Pandefense, which advises governments, businesses and non-profits on responding to pandemics.

COVID-19 and monkeypox cases may be down for now … but we're not out of the woods yet. And according to famed epidemiologist and CEO of Pandefense Advisory, Larry Brilliant, these aren't the last – or even the most destructive – mass outbreaks we could see in our lifetimes. Climate change, population growth, and rampant disinformation will exponentially increase the risks of disease.   On this week's episode of On Shifting Ground, Brilliant joins Ray Suarez to break down what the global pandemic response community got wrong (and right), the enduring geopolitics of vaccination, and the urgent need to build a more pandemic-resilient society.   Guest:    Larry Brilliant, physician, epidemiologist, and CEO of Pandefense Advisory   Host:   Ray Suarez   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Effective Altruism as "nish kam karma yoga" [Larry Brilliant], published by annaleptikon on July 17, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I recently read Larry Brilliant's memoir about eradicating smallpox. "Sometimes Brilliant" comes with a subtitle that already suggests that his life took an unforeseeable turn from spirituality to a life of pragmatic service: "The Impossible Adventure of a Spiritual Seeker and Visionary Physician Who Helped Conquer the Worst Disease in History". He, among many other things, is an epidemiologist and was part of the successful WHO Smallpox Eradication program. Larry Brilliant is also one of the founders of the (EA recommended) Seva Foundation and an advisor on Pandemic Preparedness. As expected, I learned a lot about the history of smallpox and the WHO Smallpox Eradication Program. I learned a lot about Dr. Brilliant as a person. Engaging with the book also reconnected me to my own spiritual longing and the existential questions that brought me to effective altruism myself. Engaging with these foundations again added to my own sense of meaning in the world, so I'm sharing it for others to read, too. I'd love to learn the technical terms of equivalents to this concept from other wisdom traditions. If you have texts that beautifully convey the principles in a story, that'd be wonderful to read. Here is an excerpt that easily conceptualizes effective altruism as the practice of "nish kam karma yoga": [Larry Brilliant, initiated by his wife, sought spiritual insight from Maharaji, an Indian guru] Maharaji rarely said "do this" or "do that" or indicate that one thing was right or another wrong. He taught by parable or by having us focus on a verse from the Gita."See how Krishna tells Arjuna that not even God can take time off and not work," he would say. "God must be in the world. You must be in the world, not hiding away in a cave. Work to help relieve suffering, but don't get a big head." I took this to mean that I wasn't good enough for spiritual development through meditation, or dhyana yoga. I did not understand that Maharaji was teaching me about another form of yoga, karma yoga, working to be one with God through work in the world."Wake up, wake up," he would say in a high-pitched staccato. "Meditation, devotion, and worship are all good. Very, very good. Do these upaya — these methods. But for you, not only meditation or devotion or asanas [postures]. Your yoga is nish kam karma yoga. You will do service, but avoid praise, and give the fruits of your labor to God. Don't get excited about your role. That is your dharma. Your path is working in the world, not in meditation. You will find your dharma when you get your UN job. Don't get a big head." [Upon seeing his first smallpox case] "Bill," I shouted, too loudly in the quiet room, "we'll lose this girl. She probably has pneumonia on top of everything else, and her lesions are getting infected. She needs serious attention or she will die. Who do we call? How do we get her to the hospital?"My agitation was making everyone uncomfortable, especially the family and the Indian doctors."Larry, slow down," Bill said. "We've all been in the place you are in right now. We all wanted to call the ambulance the first time we saw smallpox at this stage of the disease. But there is no ambulance. There is no treatment."Bill motioned me toward the door. "Because there is nothing anyone can do," he said when we got outside, "people all over the world attribute smallpox to a goddess or supernatural force. They have smallpox goddesses in Nigeria and Japan too. The only thing we can do, and the only thing we must do, is prevent another child from getting this disease. That means we have to find every case, because once there is onecase, there will be a second, a third, and a fourth. We must not let t...

It considers the political, social, technological, and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In his ten “lessons,” Fareed Zakaria invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community and cooperation embedded in our nature. He also concludes by considering the degree to which nothing is written, and the future is truly in our own hands. StoryShot #1: The First Lesson is to Buckle UpTechnology has advanced considerably over the last few decades. However, instead of stopping and thinking about how we can keep ourselves safe, we have just continued to expand. Zakaria describes this as humans having built the fastest sports car ever imaginable. However, we are driving it into the unknown with no seatbelts on. We haven't equipped any airbags, and we haven't purchased any insurance. Driving this sports car makes us feel innovative, modern, and powerful, but we do experience crashes along the way. Crucially, these crashes are getting worse with time. Despite these crashes, we still haven't stopped to consider the safety precautions we require. Instead, we simply pull the vehicle over, tune-up the suspension, and fix the engine. We continue to make our cars faster and faster, and yet we allow ourselves to be left in more profound danger. Zakaria believes the pandemic is an example of a massive crash. We should not continue our unsustainable expansion after the pandemic. Instead, we should use this as an opportunity to contemplate the safety precautions we need to implement. We need to buckle up. “Outbreaks are inevitable but pandemics are optional.”– LARRY BRILLIANT, QUOTED BY FAREED ZAKARIAStoryShot #2: The Second Lesson is to Improve the Quality of GovernmentAmerica wrongly believed it was too powerful to ever collapse financially and politically. However, the pandemic has proven us all wrong. Many people have started to associate COVID-19 with political polarization and economic dysfunction, with businesses in turmoil and major debates on both sides about the best way to handle the situation. America may remain the most powerful nation for military personnel, but this all means nothing if the lives of America's average citizens are in danger.  America is becoming more inward-looking and obsessed with being patriotic. In doing so, it is missing out on the opportunity to influence world politics and stand at the forefront of innovation. Most of the world has regarded America as a beacon

As part of our series on social innovation in Cambodia, we talk to Channé Suy Lan the Managing Director of InSTEDD's Southeast Asia iLab in Phnom Penh. InSTEDD stands for Innovative Support to Emergency Diseases and Disasters. It was founded by Larry Brilliant, who while working with a team to eliminate smallpox in India envisioned how technology could play a vital role in early disease detection and response. In 2006 he presented his vision in a TedTalk, which won the year's TED Prize and he used the prize money to launch InSTEDD. In 2008 they opened InSTEDD's first iLab in Phnom Penh to spearhead innovations in Southeast Asia with the support of Google.Org and the Rockefeller Foundation. Channé Suy Lan joined the iLab when it was launched and has since experienced first-hand the evolution in digital technologies. According to Channé, SMS was central to many of the technological solutions they developed in the early years of iLab but now the internet is widespread and also cheaper. However, she emphasizes the importance of recognizing how many new internet users are not exposed to the internet beyond Facebook. During its 10 years, InSTEDD's iLab in Cambodia has been involved in many projects from creating a malaria surveillance system to supporting remote printing for HIV lab results. One of the latest and most impactful projects is the 115 Hotzone Disease Reporting and Information Hotline. Working closely with Skoll Global Threats Fund and the CDC (The Council for the Development of Cambodia), they launched the automated hotline in January 2016. The hotline is designed as a medium to report infectious diseases before they spread and is used by 1000 health centers around the country. Channe goes on to discuss iLab's ICT4D Solution Incubator Initiative, which is supported by SPIDER. It aims to empower Cambodia-based development actors to integrate ICTs in their programs for maximum social impact. One project Channe illustrates is with the KAPE, an NGO that focuses on improving education outcomes in Cambodia. Together with the KAPE, they are developing interactive Khmer reading and writing learning apps for use on tablet computers that are shared in school libraries. The conversation concludes with Channe discussing the importance of projects and solutions being owned by government service providers. “In every place that we do our projects, we are trying to engage the government and the ministry because the goal is to have them own it.”

"We should always be confident that this chanting is not a vibration of this material world.  It is imported from the spiritual world.  It is completely spiritual." - Narottama dasa Thakura"Only God's name is real." -Larry Brilliant "It's all illusion except the name of the Lord." -The Ramayana "Rams' form left this world, Krishna's form left this world, but the Name stays.  By reciting His Name, everything is achieved. Everything is achieved."  -Maharajji (Maharajji constantly chanted Ram all of his waking hours)"Kalau nasty eva nasty eva na-sty eva gatir anyatha", or, "in this age, there is no other alternative, no other alternative, no other alternative than to chant the holy name of the Lord (Hare Krishna)." - Caitanya Mahaprabhu via Srila Prabhupada"National duties, social duties, and humanitarian duties are obligatory only to those who are bereft of spiritual duties.  As soon as man takes his birth on earth, he has all these obligations to the great sages that left behind vast treasure houses of knowledge to guide him through life, to forefathers, family members, the government, and so forth and so on.  But as soon as one engages himself in the one single obligatory duty- the duty of spiritual perfection- then he automatically liquidates all other obligations without having to make separate efforts."-Stephen Knapp Books- Polishing the Mirror by Ram Dass The Mantram Handbook by Ekwath Easwaran Documentaries-American Yogi, Hare Krishna, Becoming Nobody, and Windfall of Grace (starring K.K.

Guest Silona Bonewald Panelists Richard Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. Today, our guest is Silona Bonewald, who is the Executive Director of IEEE SA OPEN, which is a comprehensive platform offering the open source community cost-effective options for developing and validating their projects. She is also the Founder of Leadingbit Solutions. We find out why Silona was a taker, not a maker, when she first got into open source, how she went from writing code to working on policy, how she ended up at IEEE, and what SA OPEN does. She reveals her long-term vision for IEEE and open source, how she feels about standards using her Reese's Peanut Butter Cups metaphor, working on certifications, and she shares her thoughts on where she thinks we will be down the road in the distant future in terms of badges and certification for open source. Go ahead and download this episode to learn much more from Silona! [00:01:30] Silona tells us how she was a taker, not a maker, when she first got into open source. [00:05:20] At some point Silona segued from writing code to working on policy and she tells us how that happened. [00:06:53] We find out how Silona ended up at IEEE and what SA OPEN does. [00:09:08] Silona talks about her long-term vision for both IEEE and open source. [00:11:30] Standards are explained by Silona, how they work, why they think in decades, and who the 30,000 people are involved with standards. [00:14:17] In regard to talking to developers, Richard wonders if Silona feels like she's often trying to talk in two languages again when people would come into the room while she was coding. [00:18:48] Silona tells us about working on doing certifications and how they are going through badges and are in the design phase right now. She also mentions that IEEE recruits from engineering schools all over the world to get their members. [00:20:00] Richard wonders if some people think certifications are scary and they won't be able to get them, will this slow down open source development by forcing people to jump through hoops in order to do work. [00:22:00] Find out about a conversation Silona had with Richard Rockefeller and Larry Brilliant. She talks about an experiment they are doing with three advisory groups which include the technical advisor, marketing advisor, and community advisor, which Georg from CHAOSS is running. Also, she tells us about a great article to check out written by Dries Buytaert on the “Makers and Takers.” [00:28:20] Richard mentions a great episode to check out on CHAOSScast Podcast with guest Stephen Jacobs, and he gives a shout-out to Rachel Lawson at Drupal. [00:28:55] Silona shares her thoughts on where she thinks we will be fifty years down the road in terms of badges and certification for open source. [00:34:14] Find out where you follow Silona on the internet. Quotes [00:09:59] “You can pull the data back out, but can you pull the community back out of GitHub?” [00:13:36] “But, I really do love the not doing the corporate dominance aspect, and the trying to achieve the balance pieces I think is really important when you're creating a standard, especially if you want true adoptability.” [00:14:27] “My favorite little metaphor now is chocolate and peanut butter. You put your peanut butter in my chocolate. Oh, you put your chocolate in my peanut butter. And then you've got the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.” [00:23:29] “It's hard to teach non-profits to become a software company.” Spotlight [00:35:08] Richard's spotlight is Tom “Spot” Callaway, Episode #52 on Sustain Podcast where he was a guest, and listening about his adventure in Canada.
