Predikanten Thomas Müntzers öde kan lära oss förstå varför blasfemi upprör så mycket också idag. Elisabeth Hjorth reflekterar över hur tron kan föda flammande uppror. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.”Så liten en människa är, så bräcklig och våldsam, obeständig och sträng.” Orden är den franske författaren Èric Vuillard, och den lilla människa han ser framför sig när han skriver är predikanten Thomas Müntzer. Tvåbarnspappan ska halshuggas, eftersom han uppviglat fattigbönderna mot furstarna och kyrkan. Han har predikat uppror i stället för underdånighet, rättvisa i stället för lydnad. Infångad och torterad står Müntzer inför sitt öde. Det är 1525, maj månad i Thüringen, grönskan surrealistisk.Thomas Müntzer föddes i slutet av 1400-talet. Fattig men beläst, bibelsprängd tack vare boktryckarkonsten som spred ordet utanför klostren. Som en av ledarna för det tyska bondekriget har han gått till historien som en kontroversiell figur i det moderna Europas framväxt. Lingvist och apokalyptisk förkunnare, mystiker och revolutionär. I jämförelse med reformatorn Martin Luther är Thomas Müntzer förloraren, eftermälet solkigt. Så dog han också en ömklig död.Om Müntzer vet vi att han prästvigdes men umgicks med vederdöparna, som menade att det inte är dopet som ger frälsning utan tron. Den övriga kristenheten var överens om att det var en kättersk lära. Müntzer hade å sin sida inte mycket till övers för den pacifism som vederdöparna stod för, även om han lät sig fyllas av Anden hos dem. Möjligen, skriver Èric Vuillard. Historien är alltid full av luckor, och det är sådana som Vuillard har gjort till sin specialitet. Oavsett om han berättar om stormningen av Bastiljen, Inkarikets fall eller som här, i boken De fattigas krig, om reformationens turbulenta begynnelse. Det är en säregen historieskrivning, laddad av författarens fascination och fantasi. Boken har sina likheter med en predikan, om det hade varit en predikant som skrivit den.Men predikanten är alltså Thomas Müntzer, som verkar i det furstestyrda Europa. Gång på gång flammar folkliga protester upp, understödda av radikala pastorer som John Ball och Jan Hus. Det är i kyrkor och andliga gemenskaper som gnistan tänds. Müntzer har dock den största elden av dem alla. Hans församling består av vävare och gruvarbetare, Müntzer är deras lärjunge, i någon mening. Han skickar till en början uppmuntrande brev till Luther, kallar honom senare för en fet gris. Besvikelsen brinner i hans bröst som ursinnet brinner.Èric Vuillard tecknar ett solidariskt porträtt av reformationens bad boy. Ironiskt beskriver han Müntzers fiender, medger att predikanten är galen, samtidigt som han avgjort är på upprorsmakarnas sida. Kanske ser författaren rentav på sig själv som en uppviglare, föreslår Kristoffer Leandoer i sitt efterord.Den som menar att litterära och politiska intressen bör hållas isär är inte särskilt förtjust i en sådan tanke. Litteraturen ska stå fri från predikanter, framför allt för att de producerar dålig och tråkig konst. Men Vuillards sensibla estetik visar snarast att det inte går att upprätthålla några rena gränser mellan politik och litteratur, språk och liv.Inte heller vetenskapen är ren. Också den består av grenar som förr eller senare löper samman. Till sist blir allt humaniora, var det någon som sa. För att en viss innovation eller teknik eller medicinsk behandling behöver begripliggöras av dem som ska leva med den.Och från början var vetenskapen teologi. Försöken att utforska världen skedde inom ramen för gudarnas, eller Gudens, uppsåt med tillvaron. Sekulariseringen befriade Gud från vetenskapen. Men filosoferna kom att återbesöka religionen, ibland för att förstå sitt eget tänkandes sammanhang. Max Weber tog den protestantiska arbetsmoralen och läran om kallelsen till stöd för sin berättelse om kapitalismens framväxt. Friedrich Engels sökte i samma religiösa tradition och upptäckte en proto-kommunist; Thomas Müntzer. Långt senare söker en författare sitt ämne och finner föga förvånande också Müntzer.Det vill säga, han söker en revolutionär och finner en troende. Det finns det som tyder på att Èric Vuillard är besviken.Kanske tillhör han de författare som menar att religiösa och politiska intressen bör hållas isär. ”Striderna om det hinsides gäller i själva verket tingen i denna värld”, skriver Vuillard. ”Bara därför förstår vi denna aggressiva teologis språk fortfarande.” Författaren vill så gärna göra sin predikant respektabel för en samtida publik att han stryker Müntzers tro ur ekvationen.Men hur skulle de världsliga och andliga tingen kunna skiljas åt?De fattigas krig var de troende fattigas krig. Upproren föddes inte ur gudsförnekelse utan ur tro. Gud skulle rövas tillbaka från kyrkans sammetsklädda tjuvar. Kampen drevs av förvissningen om att det var kyrkan som hade fel, som svikit sin hemlösa upphovsman. Till sist var det tron som överskred skräcken för döden och för de mäktigas hämnd, som måste komma.Müntzer citerar de våldsammaste raderna ur Nya testamentet. I Vuillards bok är han blodtörstig och desperat, avlägsen senare tiders religiösa rättviserörelser och förgrundsfigurer. Likväl är han aktuell på ett sätt som Vuillard inte riktigt hanterar. Müntzer kanaliserade folkets avsky för blasfemi; den upprörda omsorg om det heliga som är så svår för samtiden att förstå. Ändå räcker det med att se banderollerna där det står ”inte i mitt namn” under protester mot krig och ockupation för att få en aning om vad saken gäller. Att Gud släpas i smutsen genom ovärdiga handlingar gör den troende förbannad. Inte i min Guds namn, säger den som demonstrerar och tar avstånd både från handlingarna och religionens berättigande av dem.Blasfemi har alltså en innebörd utöver de stormande affekterna. De som kritiserar sina religioner inifrån, som Müntzer och andra gjorde på sin tid, pekar på sveket mot samhällets förlorare som inte enbart hyckleri utan också hädelse. Sådan hädelse går inte att komma åt med blasfemilagar. Det handlar snarast om att varje trossystem behöver de interna upprorsmakare som är en nagel i ögat på makten.Allt kan bli teologi, till sist. De religiösa traditionerna är spretiga historier som rymmer offer och förövare, förtryckare och förtryckta, appeller för fred och för våld. För att bättre förstå dåtiden och samtiden gäller det att se hur religion både kan befästa maktens ordningar och protestera mot desamma.Vad som drev Müntzer går naturligtvis inte helt att veta, han var trots allt en bräcklig liten människa. Upprorisk och desperat, förtvivlad och vilsen. Men oavsett vad vi tror om Müntzer, och vad vi tror om det hinsides, finns en rad i De fattigas krig som lyser genom tidens fasor: ”Hemligheten med vår jämlikhet är odödlig.”Elisabeth Hjorthförfattare och professor i litterär gestaltningLitteratur:Èric Vuillard: De fattigas krig.

Har man lättare att lära sig nya språk om man redan behärskar några sedan tidigare? Och lär sig danskar att tala senare än andra? Och är “rikssvenskan” verkligen från Uppsala? Mikael Parkvall, lingvisten som intresserade sig tidigt för språk och mer specifikt myter kring det svenska språket, får i detta samtal ta emot en uppsjö av funderingar kring detta och mycket mer. Med avstamp i hans bok som avhandlar myter om språk ger vi oss av på en språkresa som deltagarna sent ska glömma… För mer information, tävlingar och extramaterial: Instagram @Sjukafaktapodcast Kontakt, samarbeten och press: kontakt@sjukafakta.s

Tohle nemá hlavu a patu. A přesto tu do té hlavy mlátíme hlava nehlava a doufáme, že se jedná o hlavičku hřebíčku. Omluvte tento chabý meta-fór. Naši tři šamani totiž vědí, že bez metafor nepřežijí. Sakra, vždyť by bez nich nešlo ani o tři šamany! Jenže jako tradičně házíme vše do jednoho pytle - až již jde o synky v dochách, meth ony myje nebo při rovnání. Doslova v reálném čase si uvědomujeme, jak důležité pro nás metafory jsou a jak jim zároveň nerozumíme. Díky bohům za Aristotela - tu hlavu pomazanou - který může vést naše kroky. Lingvistům, filosofům, věřícím a všem myslícím z naší procházky asi pukne hlava. To je ale cena, kterou jsme ochotni zaplatit, abychom se dostali do nitra cibulí, slangu ze základní školy, kvót na nadávky a svobody se posrat.

Ranko Matasović, redoviti profesor lingvistike na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu, specijalizirao se za indoeuropske jezike jer ga fascinira njihova brojnost, starost i jedinstvenost koje omogućavaju laboratorijsko proučavanje jezičnog razvitka. Svoju strast dijeli sa studentima podučavajući albanski, armenski i staroirski i za podcast progovara o njihovim neobičnim karakteristikama. Redoviti član Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti, koji trenutno radi na novom etimološkom rječniku, upoznat će nas i s nesvakidašnjim jezicima za moje vjerojatno nismo nikad čuli: hetitski i kabardinski.

„Mate, jesu li onda svi jezični savjeti sranje?” - „Da.” Lingvist Mate Kapović napisao je, sa suautorima Anđelom Starčevićem i Daliborkom Sarić, kontroverznu knjigu 'Jeziku je svejedno' jer mu je dosta jezičnog nasilja lektora i preskriptivista. Ondje i u podcastu analizira nepotrebne intervencije koje slijede jezična pravilima koja nemaju osnove u znanosti i koje su naposljetku dovele do straha kod najvećih autoriteta žive upotrebe jezika – govornika. Za podcast progovara i o ideološkom i političkim motivima jezičnih ispravama „profesionalnih izmišljača pravila” i problematici standardnog varijeteta na temelju kojeg se korisnicima jezika poručuje da ono što pišu i govore nije nestandardno, nego „nepravilno”. --- Kako se pretplatiti?

Being able to speak and understand a foreign language is a lot like having a superpower. It gives you an ability that is often very useful and impressive. But like anything that is great to have, it doesn’t come easy. If you have ever tried to learn a new language, the process can be exhausting and difficult at times. Fortunately, we live in a world where technology can help speed up this process. Now, with the help of machine learning, we can use technology to accelerate or even gamify the learning experience, making it more efficient and enjoyable in the process. My guest today to talk about this topic is an Ex-CERN Particle Physicist turned language learning expert who used AI to more efficiently learn French during his time working at the institute. He is now the CEO of Lingvist, an adaptive language-learning platform that uses the same technology he used to learn French. Mait Müntel. In this episode, Mait shares with us how he created this technology, why it is so effective, and advice he has for anyone who wants to learn a new language.

This week, Andrii Degeler and Robin Wauters talk to several edutech entrepreneurs to figure out how the landscape of the industry is changing, and what the insiders expect to happen in the future. It also turns out that, contrary to what many believe, not all educational startups are doing great during the pandemic.

Eamonn Carey is the Managing Director of Techstars London. He's been an entrepreneur for most of his adult life - starting several companies in Europe and the Middle East - two successfully, others, less so. He's been an active angel investor in Europe, the US and Asia for the last five years - investing in everything from AI to food tech and from messaging to co-working spaces. He ran the Techstars Connection program in New York, works with the Zeroth AI accelerator in Hong Kong and sits on several boards - including Lingvist, Paranoid Fan, and Motivii. Discussion We cover the way the landscape has changed for investors, technology and entrepreneurs. With radical shifts in how we live there is a lot of current change but also a lot of things that will stay different after this. Eamonn explains the opportunities that are available for those willing to adapt quickly and how entrepreneurs can build new businesses that benefit the world. We outline the problems caused by uncertainty and how to deal with fear and act rationally. Take Homes Accept the Idea of Change Change is inevitable not only in life but in business too. As long as the people and the technology are progressing, so should the businesses around them. Businesses have to improve and develop new ideas that can be incorporated with their plan. They have to have a bird’s view of their business to understand what is going to happen next. This approach will help change the route in the shortest time if there is any unplanned change. Everybody should embrace change in their organization. If not, there will be a negative implication. Businesses that do not adapt to their environment tend to slow down and ultimately die or shutdown. Covenience is Booming With the impact of covid-19, “convenience” has taken on a whole new meaning. Companies offering convenience are taking over. This revolution is affecting all kinds of industries – not just retail – as some companies are developing new ways of doing business that make life easier for the customer. It is clear, no organization is free from the push toward higher convenience. Time to become ‘fast’ and ‘easy’! Good Communication in Business is Key Possessing or developing excellent communication skills will help business leaders and their teams in every facet of business operations. Helping team members learn to communicate in professional and respectful ways builds a positive atmosphere. Friendships build as people are more likely to communicate about work and weekend activities. As your team gets to know each other better, they become stronger as a unit, helping to build team morale. Positive team morale is good for department productivity.

I recently read a fascinating story about a particle physicist turned co-founder of an AI-based language learning app called Lingvist and felt compelled to find out more. Mait Müntel was part of the Higgs boson discovery team at CERN, where he was frustrated by being unable to speak French fluently. In typical scientist fashion, he decided to look at the French language as a mathematical problem that could be fun to solve-- and soon used CERN's machine learning capabilities to run his language-as-math hypothesis, then began building out software to test it. Within a year, he was able to study French for 200 hours, then pass a high school French test. So he left to start Lingvist, a company that uses AI to create personalized language experiences, with 1.4 million language users. Mait joins me on Tech Talks Daily to chat about how machine learning is significantly accelerating the language learning process, and how important scientific theories have been to Lingvist's success. I learn how he got the idea to approach language learning like a mathematical challenge and decided to build his own solution instead. Mait's prototype drew upon the machine learning work he had used while searching for the boson particle, along with the basics of language statistics and cognitive science theory. After learning with a homemade prototype for 200 hours, he put himself to the test and took a high-school-level French exam, which he passed with a strong score. That was the seed from which Lingvist took root. Mait took those principles he had used to teach himself and started developing them for anyone to use, with the goal of significantly accelerating language learning and reducing inefficiency in the learning process. They built the proof of concept after receiving the Prototron Grant, a seed-funding initiative for budding startups, in March 2013. In 2014 Lingvist was selected from a pool of over 1,500 applicants to participate in the world-renowned TechStars London accelerator program. Today, Lingvist is an eclectic team of more than 40 languages and technology lovers hailing from around the world. Members include alumni from Skype and CERN, and specialists in areas ranging from AI and computational linguistics to UX and product development.

Listen to this podcast if you want a focused 40 minutes of laughing and learning in one place. He gives top insights into the world of science, business and learning with great ideas and heart-warming stories. TOPS TIPS FOCUS Focus in business and life is essential to success. Focus on what you can change. Don’t waste time worrying about things you can’t change. And keep a relentless focus on the thing you are doing and make it the most important thing above all else. SHOW DEDICATION TO YOUR BUSINESS Mait took a business loan to fund the company initially, this showed that he was keen to make it happen at great personnel risk with his house on the line. Proving to investors that you are really committed to making your idea a success is essential and if they know you are committed to it and are taking risks they can feel more safe with risking their own money. ENJOY THE RIDE Mait’s story about hiking and the pains you go through in a hike ends up delivering such a satisfying feeling at the end. When you realise that ‘future you’ will look back at ‘present you’ and the situation you are in as a really cool thing. You can enjoy the ride a lot more when you are aware that your problems are moments you will overcome and look back with fondness then you can appreciate and enjoy the moment itself much more, rather than letting it get you down.

Teen travel. Tween travel. Budget travel via workaway jobs. We've talked to lots of parents to travel with teens and tweens, but today we're going to hear from some of the kids themselves. These four traveling sisters have been on the road with their parents for over two years so far, and in this episode of Epic Education Radio, we'll hear what they have to say. Teen Travel, Tween Travel, & Workaway Jobs If you're a parent considering travel with teens and tweens, then this interview is for you. And if you're a teen or tween yourself, you might want to listen in as well. If you're interested in budget travel via workaway jobs, this would also be valuable. ::: Like what you’re hearing? Then please subscribe, rate & review Epic Education Radio. We would be extremely grateful! iTunes is a search engine as well, and so when you rate and review us, you help others find us. Thank you! ::: Meet Izzy, Kathryn, Lauren, and Rachael Antle, four traveling sisters on the road with their parents for the past two years. Part of this has been fast-paced travel, while other parts have been slow travel using workaway jobs. In this Epic Education Radio episode, we talk about what travel has meant to them, and how it's changed over the last 24 months. Where They've Been: Teen & Tween Travel These traveling sisters grew up in Colorado in the United States. Their first destination was Mexico. After some time in the Yucatan Peninsula, they moved on to see much of the world, including lots of time in Asia and Europe. They spent considerable time in Southeast Asia, and then went back and forth between the EU, Morocco and Eastern Europe to comply with Schengen visa rules. Each of the traveling sisters tells me about their favorite countries so far. Places like Japan, Denmark, Spain, and Penang make the list, and they tell me why. Another favorite place was Morocco, where a workaway job changed their ideas of travel in a big way.   What Are Workaway Jobs? I've often associated workaway jobs with cruise ships: by working on the ship, you gain free room and board, thus creating a way to travel cheaply. Today workaway jobs are defined more broadly. Workaway can be a cultural exchange or a job in tourism. It can be part of a homestay or more. In the case of these traveling sisters, it was working at an English school in Morocco in exchange for a place to stay. Morocco: A Turning Point All four of these traveling sisters cited their time at a workaway in Morocco as a turning point for them. They met people from all over the world and realized the true potential of travel. Living in a workaway program also helped them build confidence and a worldview. Kathryn tells me of before their travels: "I remember not knowing where Mexico was..." When the girls first left their home in Colorado for Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, they knew very little about the world, but now that's changed. Kathryn continues: "Now when someone says 'I'm from Spain...I'm from Cordoba, I  know where they're talking about." Education and Tween/Teen Travel The girls attended conventional schools back in Colorado, but now have taken control of their education. They cite some of their online resources but do not follow a strict curriculum now. Even during a workaway assignment, their education continues. Indeed, the workaway job itself is an education, as is the act of traveling as a teen in the first place. In the interview, they talk about how they manage their education on the road, including "student meetings" that they schedule with their parents. The Future: Teen Travel, Workaways, and What's Next When I ask what's next for these traveling sisters, they talk about a return to Spain. Izzy (now 17) has secured a workaway job as an au pair and will leave to live with a Spanish family for a while next year. The family will follow later on. Three of the girls are studying Spanish, while one studies French. Where will they end up? Who knows, but by traveling as teens and tweens, they have opened up a new world of opportunities.

Mait Muntel, Founder at Lingvist. This is his first startup, but already he has over 1/2 million beta testers (without a single bit of marketing) and he's got the co-founder of Skype as an early investor. He left the team at CERN who discovered the GOD particle to start this startup. It's an inspirational episode.

This time I’ve talked to Mait Müntel, founder of the Estonia-based startup Lingvist, which attracted $8 million in funding from Rakuten and others last week. We’ve discussed the connection between CERN and language learning, the startup’s plans and the relevance of the Japanese giant as an investor. Check out this week's newsletter at http://proceed.to.
