La corsa verso la produzione di carne coltivata è ormai una delle frontiere più dinamiche dell'innovazione alimentare globale. Nato come tentativo di rispondere alla crescente domanda di proteine animali riducendo al contempo l'impatto ambientale e il ricorso alla macellazione, il settore della carne coltivata sta compiendo passi da gigante grazie a importanti progressi scientifici. Ma la sua diffusione, specialmente in Europa e in Italia, incontra ancora numerosi ostacoli.Quando si parla di carne coltivata si fa riferimento a un prodotto alimentare ottenuto attraverso la coltivazione di cellule animali in laboratorio. A differenza di ciò che il termine "sintetica" potrebbe suggerire, non si tratta di carne artificiale: le cellule provengono da animali vivi, vengono moltiplicate in bioreattori e poi organizzate in strutture muscolari simili alla carne tradizionale. Arricchita con fibre e nutrienti, questa carne, che manca di ossa e di pelle, è pensata principalmente per realizzare alimenti come hamburger, crocchette e salsicce.

In the long run, Keynes famously quipped, we are all dead. But Swedish entrepreneur Kristian Ronn reverses Keynes to argue that in the short term we, as a species, might also be death. In his new book Darwinian Trap, Ronn argues that we're hardwired to prioritize immediate benefits over long-term consequences, creating existential risks like nuclear war and uncontrolled AI development. Ronn suggests we need better system design with proper incentives to overcome these tendencies. He proposes controlling critical parts of technology supply chains (like AI chips) to ensure responsible use, similar to nuclear nonproliferation treaties. Despite acknowledging all the obvious challenges of these kind of UN style regulatory initiatives, Ronn remains hopeful that rational thinking and well-designed systems can help humanity transcend its evolutionary limitations.Here are the 5 KEEN ON take-aways from our conversation with Kristian Ronn:* The "Darwinian Trap" refers to how humans and systems are hardwired for short-term thinking due to evolutionary forces, creating both personal and existential risks.* "Offensive realism" in international politics drives nations to compete for resources and develop increasingly dangerous weapons, creating existential threats through arms races.* AI poses significant existential risks, particularly as a technology multiplier that could enable more destructive weapons and engineered pandemics.* System design with proper incentives is crucial for overcoming our evolutionary short-term thinking—we need to "change the rules of the game" rather than blame human nature.* Strategic control of technology supply chains (like AI chips) could potentially create frameworks for responsible AI development, similar to nuclear nonproliferation treaties.Kristian Rönn is the CEO and co-founder of Normative, a software tool for sustainability accounting. He has a background in mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Before he started Normative, he worked at the University of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute on issues related to global catastrophic risks. This is a public episode.

Since the 1940s and 50s, back at the origins of what we now think of as artificial intelligence, there have been lots of ways of conceiving what it is that brains do, or what the function of the brain is. One of those conceptions, going to back to cybernetics, is that the brain is a controller that operates under the principles of feedback control. This view has been carried down in various forms to us in present day. Also since that same time period, when McCulloch and Pitts suggested that single neurons are logical devices, there have been lots of ways of conceiving what it is that single neurons do. Are they logical operators, do they each represent something special, are they trying to maximize efficiency, for example? Dmitri Chklovskii, who goes by Mitya, runs the Neural Circuits and Algorithms lab at the Flatiron Institute. Mitya believes that single neurons themselves are each individual controllers. They're smart agents, each trying to predict their inputs, like in predictive processing, but also functioning as an optimal feedback controller. We talk about historical conceptions of the function of single neurons and how this differs, we talk about how to think of single neurons versus populations of neurons, some of the neuroscience findings that seem to support Mitya's account, the control algorithm that simplifies the neuron's otherwise impossible control task, and other various topics. We also discuss Mitya's early interests, coming from a physics and engineering background, in how to wire up our brains efficiently, given the limited amount of space in our craniums. Obviously evolution produced its own solutions for this problem. This pursuit led Mitya to study the C. elegans worm, because its connectome was nearly complete- actually, Mitya and his team helped complete the connectome so he'd have the whole wiring diagram to study it. So we talk about that work, and what knowing the whole connectome of C. elegans has and has not taught us about how brains work. Chklovskii Lab. Twitter: @chklovskii.

MILANO (ITALPRESS) - "La semplificazione è essenziale perché in questo momento la complessità della normativa impone dei carichi importanti che distoglie energie dalle politiche di sostenibilità. Quindi è importante che la normativa si concentri sugli aspetti più rilevanti così che le imprese possano liberare energie per includere nella propria strategia a tutto tondo gli obiettivi di sostenibilità". A dirlo Paola Angeletti, Chief Sustainability Officer Intesa Sanpaolo, in occasione di un incontro promosso a Milano da AmCham Italy dal titolo "Il futuro della competitività Europea tra Innovazione, Sostenibilità e Sicurezza". Il salto di qualità da fare è pertanto "introdurre l'attenzione allo sviluppo delle opportunità, dell'innovazione e della sostenibilità. Più una normativa è armonizzata e semplice, più le imprese possono concentrarsi sulla propria strategia e cogliere le opportunità".col5/xh7/fsc/gsl

In this episode, the discussion continues on the laws of carrying on Shabbat, focusing on whether clothing can be used to carry items like money, gold, or silver. While it is generally prohibited to wear such items sewn into clothing, leniency is given when there is a concern about potential loss or theft. The podcast explores various opinions on this, including when it is permissible to carry sewn-in valuables and how this applies to different situations, such as when staying at home is a safer option. The episode also covers the rules around wearing certain garments, like scarves, and clarifies what constitutes normal attire. Finally, the podcast touches on carrying clothing in non-typical ways, like wearing a sweater without using the sleeves, and the customs around such practices.

In this episode, we continue with the rules of carrying on Shabbat, particularly regarding clothing. It explains that wearing clothes is generally not considered carrying, but certain styles or ways of wearing clothing can be viewed as carrying if they deviate from normative practices. The episode explores the permissibility of wearing a *talis* (or similar garments) in different ways, such as draped over the neck or folded around the body, provided it is done in a customary fashion. It also delves into the concept of *muktzeh*—items that are prohibited to move on Shabbat—focusing on cases like carrying coins wrapped in cloth or sewn into garments. The discussion underscores that whether an action is permissible often depends on its intention and the way the clothing or items are worn or carried, with changes in fashion affecting what is considered normative.

La France est engagée dans une dérive normative infernale. Chaque morceau de notre vie personnelle et professionnelle est désormais réglementé par un nombre croissant de règles. Discutez avec n'importe qui – votre voisin, un agriculteur, un commerçant, un chef d'entreprise – et chacun a son anecdote, son histoire d'horreur petite ou grande où Ubu le dispute à Kafka. Même des ministres, c'est dire, se sont émus de la complexification de la vie. Il semble que la demande de simplification soit universelle. Et pourtant rien ne change! Rien ne change parce nous ne comprenons pas la nature de cette dérive. Sans cette compréhension, tous les efforts de simplification, aussi sincères soient-ils, seront vains.

Have you ever wondered if our very instincts—those survival mechanisms that got us here—might actually be our biggest threat? Today, we're diving into this fascinating paradox with Kristian Rönn, a brilliant mind who's not only the CEO and co-founder of Normative, the world's first carbon accounting engine, but also a thought leader whose work spans climate policy, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. Before founding Normative, Kristian worked at the University of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, researching global catastrophic risks. His new book, The Darwinian Trap, examines how our evolutionary wiring, these so-called ‘Darwinian demons,' drive behaviors that could undermine humanity's future.In this episode, we're exploring everything from the hidden forces shaping our decisions to the existential risks of technology and our fundamental need for global cooperation. Kristian brings a fresh and urgent perspective to the conversation on climate change and societal challenges, and he's got some revolutionary ideas on what it will take to truly evolve beyond our short-term impulses.By the end of this episode, you'll not only understand these deeply ingrained patterns but hopefully feel inspired to start recognizing them in your own life—and maybe even consider how we, collectively, can work toward a more sustainable future.Episode highlights:00:25 Meet Kristian Rönn: CEO and Thought Leader02:40 Understanding the Darwinian Trap03:44 Examples of the Darwinian Trap in Action07:38 Can We Override Our Evolutionary Instincts?08:42 Hope from Nature's Solutions13:14 Global Cooperation and Governance18:09 Reforming Global Policies and Incentives38:49 The Role of Technology in Global Empathy42:41 Ethical Guidelines for Technological Innovation49:12 Normative's Role in Carbon Emissions Accounting52:18 Conclusion and Contact InformationResources mentioned:Normative.IOThe Darwinian Trap by Kristian RonnGuest's social handles:LinkedInInstagramP.S.

From the moment Jesus announced “The Kingdom of God is here; Turn and believe the Good News,” followers of Jesus have lived under the public authority of Jesus the Lord. Jesus' disciples are called to do the politics of Jesus as set out in Matthew 5-7 and throughout the four Gospels.  This vision is lived out in the ekklesia - the called out – the “citizens of heaven doing the business of heaven.” Yet in 2024, the power of identity politics in the U. S., on the left and the right, within the churches, threatens to marginalize, if not obliterate the church's public witness to Jesus. Join our discussion of the chaotic partisan politics of 2024 seen through the lens of Jesus the Lord.

fWotD Episode 2702: Ethics Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 27 September 2024 is Ethics.Ethics is the philosophical study of moral phenomena. Also called moral philosophy, it investigates normative questions about what people ought to do or which behavior is morally right. Its main branches include normative ethics, applied ethics, and metaethics.Normative ethics aims to find general principles that govern how people should act. Applied ethics examines concrete ethical problems in real-life situations, such as abortion, treatment of animals, and business practices. Metaethics explores the underlying assumptions and concepts of ethics. It asks whether there are objective moral facts, how moral knowledge is possible, and how moral judgments motivate people. Influential normative theories are consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. According to consequentialists, an act is right if it leads to the best consequences. Deontologists focus on acts themselves, saying that they must adhere to duties, like telling the truth and keeping promises. Virtue ethics sees the manifestation of virtues, like courage and compassion, as the fundamental principle of morality.Ethics is closely connected to value theory, which studies the nature and types of value, like the contrast between intrinsic and instrumental value. Moral psychology is a related empirical field and investigates psychological processes involved in morality, such as reasoning and the formation of character. Descriptive ethics describes the dominant moral codes and beliefs in different societies and considers their historical dimension.The history of ethics started in the ancient period with the development of ethical principles and theories in ancient Egypt, India, China, and Greece. This period saw the emergence of ethical teachings associated with Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and contributions of philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle. During the medieval period, ethical thought was strongly influenced by religious teachings. In the modern period, this focus shifted to a more secular approach concerned with moral experience, reasons for acting, and the consequences of actions. An influential development in the 20th century was the emergence of metaethics.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Friday, 27 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Ethics on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

Doctor Shawn Baker Key points for quick navigation: 00:01 Dr. Shawn Baker began his carnivore diet journey in late 2016 out of curiosity and health concerns, starting with a single meal and gradually transitioning. 04:23 Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) is not observed in carnivore diets due to efficient utilization and presence in meat, contrary to common misconceptions. 07:39 Fiber is non-essential and its health benefits are likely associated with dietary quality rather than fiber itself, often improving on carnivore diets. 13:23 Meat contains a wide array of phytonutrients, challenging the notion that only fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients. 16:11 Normative ranges for thyroid function tests (like TSH) may not reflect individual health outcomes effectively, emphasizing clinical function over lab numbers. 19:26 Dr. Shawn Baker emphasizes that he focuses on how he feels rather than just lab numbers, highlighting individual health over standardized ranges. 19:53 ️‍️ Despite having low normal testosterone levels, Shawn Baker attributes his strength and health to lifestyle factors like exercise and diet, suggesting sensitivity to androgen receptors. 20:37 Shawn Baker discusses the limitations of standard reference ranges in health metrics, advocating for more personalized approaches especially in populations like carnivores. 27:30 ️ Dr. Baker critiques the conventional focus on LDL cholesterol levels, pointing out historical biases and financial interests in promoting certain health narratives. 29:06 Discussing medication, Dr. Shawn Baker predicts potential class action lawsuits against drugs like PCSK9 inhibitors due to adverse effects like muscle loss, highlighting ethical concerns in pharmaceutical practices. 38:12 Using GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (OIC) can lead to GI side effects and potential long-term digestive issues. 39:23 Beef isolate effectively stimulates GLP-1, slowing down digestion in a natural way, contrasting with drugs like semaglutide. 41:02 GLP-1 receptor agonists may lead to fat cell hyperplasia, increasing the number of small fat cells, potentially causing weight regain after treatment cessation. 47:30 High-protein diets, contrary to common belief, do not adversely affect kidney health and may even improve kidney function in certain cases. 54:10 Eating plant-based is not necessarily environmentally superior to consuming animal products; the sustainability of agricultural practices matters more than the type of diet. 56:39 Dr. Baker emphasizes the importance of measuring nutrition and human thriving rather than just calories or environmental impact when evaluating food choices. 57:46 ️‍️ He advocates for a healthier population, criticizing societal health disparities despite abundant resources, urging for national campaigns promoting nutrition and fitness. 58:56 ️ Dr. Baker discusses how consumer choices impact public health and healthcare systems, encouraging mindful purchasing to support healthier lifestyles. 01:00:35 He reflects on the values and lifestyles of societal leaders, contrasting personal health standards with those of the general population. 01:03:34 Dr. Baker underscores the need for healthcare paradigm shifts driven by grassroots movements, highlighting the importance of patient support in effecting systemic change. https://www.revero.com/

SpeakerKristian Rönn is the CEO and co-founder of Normative. He has a background in mathematics, philosophy, computer science and artificial intelligence. Before he started Normative he worked at the University of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute on issues related to global catastrophic risks.Session SummaryWhen people talk about today's biggest challenges they tend to frame the conversation around “bad people” doing “bad things.” But is there more to the story? In this month's Hope Drop we speak to Kristian Rönn, an entrepreneur formerly affiliated with the Future of Humanity Institute. Kristian calls these deeply rooted impulses “Darwinian demons.” These forces, a by-product of natural selection, can lead us to act in shortsighted ways that harm others—and even imperil our survival as a species. In our latest episode, Kristian explains how we can escape these evolutionary traps through cooperation and innovative thinking. Kristian's new book, The Darwinian Trap, is being published on September 24th.

In today's episode, we discuss the hidden forces that shape human behavior and global challenges with Kristian Rönn, a leading thinker in sustainability and evolutionary psychology. As the CEO and cofounder of Normative, Kristian revolutionized how businesses approach sustainability accounting, helping large enterprises achieve their net zero targets. With a rich background in mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and artificial intelligence, he is also the author of "The Darwinian Trap: The Hidden Evolutionary Forces That Explain Our World (and Threaten Our Future)", where he unpacks the evolutionary pitfalls that hinder long-term success and offers insights into how cooperation and high-value behaviors can lead to better decision-making and a brighter future for all. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Kristian Rönn as he uncovers the evolutionary forces that silently shape our world and the challenges we face in both personal and global contexts. How do these hidden forces drive human conflict and short-term thinking? What can we do to avoid the Darwinian traps that hinder long-term success? Kristian shares his deep insights into the psychological underpinnings of our behavior, the impact of competitive pressures on society, and the importance of fostering cooperation to create a better future. Discover actionable strategies to navigate these evolutionary pitfalls, enhance your decision-making, and become a more high-value, cooperative leader in your career and beyond. What to Listen For Introduction – 00:00:00 What sparked Kristian Rönn's passion for understanding the evolutionary forces behind human behavior and global challenges? How did Kristian's journey from Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute to founding Normative shape his perspective on sustainability and global risks? What is the central thesis of Kristian's book, The Darwinian Trap, and why is it crucial for our future? The Darwinian Trap: Evolutionary Forces in Action – 00:06:13 What is the Darwinian Trap, and how does it explain the short-term thinking and conflicts we see in society?

Part two of this three-part series on dancefloors and belonging examines how we experience intimacy and a sense of vague belonging. We look at the complex conflicted feelings of our lives that introduce paradox in a queer approach to analysis that draws upon magical realism. We examine the notion of an intimate public and how our constructions and projects of a “we” inform our feelings of belonging. Finally, the episode looks at senses of vague belonging and vague intimacy that are most profoundly experienced on dancefloors. Interwoven are reflections on peacebuilding and how peacebuilders may use the arts to lubricate spaces for vague belonging and multilayered affective experience.The Music & Peacebuilding Podcast is hosted by Kevin Shorner-Johnson at Elizabethtown College.

Link to tool: https://parliament.rethinkpriorities.org (1 min) Introductory Video (6 min) Basic Features Video Executive Summary This post introduces Rethink Priorities' Moral Parliament Tool, which models ways an agent can make decisions about how to allocate goods in light of normative uncertainty. We treat normative uncertainty as uncertainty over worldviews. A worldview encompasses a set of normative commitments, including first-order moral theories, values, and attitudes toward risk. We represent worldviews as delegates in a moral parliament who decide on an allocation of funds to a diverse array of charitable projects. Users can configure the parliament to represent their own credences in different worldviews and choose among several procedures for finding their best all-things-considered philanthropic allocation. The relevant procedures are metanormative methods. These methods take worldviews and our credences in them as inputs and produce some action guidance as an output. Some proposed methods have taken inspiration from political or market processes involving agents [...] ---Outline:(00:24) Executive Summary(02:18) Introduction(03:47) How does it work?(04:21) Worldviews(08:07) Projects(10:45) Metanormative parliament(12:11) The Moral Parliament Tool at work(12:16) (How) do empirical assumptions matter?(12:20) Uncertainties about scale(14:13) How much does scale matter?(16:10) An example project: The Cassandra Fund(19:15) What would an EA parliament do?(19:21) Normative uncertainty among EAs(21:17) Results(24:12) Takeaways(26:40) Getting Started(27:04) AcknowledgmentsThe original text contained 9 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

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: An Epistemic Defense of Rounding Down, published by Hayley Clatterbuck on July 15, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post is part of WIT's CRAFT sequence. It examines one of the decision theories included in the Portfolio Builder Tool. Executive summary Expected value maximization (EVM) leads to problems of fanaticism, recommending that you ought to take gambles on actions that have very low probabilities of success if the potential outcomes would be extremely valuable. This has motivated some to adopt alternative decision procedures. One common method for moderating the fanatical effects of EVM is to ignore very low probability outcomes, rounding them down to 0. Then, one maximizes EV across the remaining set of sufficiently probable outcomes. We can distinguish between two types of low probabilities that could be candidates for rounding down. A decision-theoretic defense of rounding down states that we should (or are permitted to) round down low objective chances. An epistemic defense states that we should (or are permitted to) round down low subjective credences that reflect uncertainty about how the world really is. Rounding down faces four key objections: The choice of a threshold for rounding down (i.e., how low a probability must be before we round it to 0) is arbitrary. It implies that normative principles change at some probability threshold, which is implausible. It ignores important outcomes and thus leads to bad decisions. It either gives no or bad advice about how to make decisions among options under the threshold. Epistemic rounding down fares much better with respect to these four objections than does decision-theoretic rounding down. The resolution or specificity of our evidence constrains our ability to distinguish between probabilistic hypotheses. Our evidence does not typically have enough resolution to give us determinate probabilities for very improbable outcomes. In such cases, we sometimes have good reasons for rounding them down to 0. 1. Intro Expected value maximization is the most prominent and well-defended theory about how to make decisions under uncertainty. However, it famously leads to problems of fanaticism: it recommends pursuing actions that have extremely small values of success when the payoffs, if successful, would be astronomically large. Because many people find these recommendations highly implausible, several solutions have been offered that retain many of the attractive features of EVM but rule out fanatical results. One solution is to dismiss outcomes that have very low probabilities - in effect, rounding them down to 0 - and then maximizing EV among the remaining set of sufficiently probable outcomes. This "truncated EVM" strategy yields more intuitive results about what one ought to do in paradigm cases where traditional EVM recommends fanaticism. It also retains many of the virtues of EVM, in that it provides a simple and mathematically tractable way of balancing probabilities and value. However, rounding down faces four key objections.[1] The first two suggest that rounding down will sometimes keep us from making correct decisions, and the second two present problems of arbitrariness: 1. Ignores important outcomes: events that have very low probabilities are sometimes important to consider when making decisions. 2. Disallows decisions under the threshold: every event with a probability below the threshold is ignored. Therefore, rounding down precludes us from making rational decisions about events under the threshold, sometimes leading to violations of Dominance. 3. Normative arbitrariness: rounding down implies that normative principles governing rational behavior change discontinuously at some cut-off of probability. This is unparsimonious and unmotivated. 4. Threshold arbitrariness: the choice of a threshold...

Robert Breedlove is a philosopher and podcaster within the Bitcoin space. In this interview, we discuss the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference, the anti-woke movement, cultural Marxism, and the origins of certain ideologies. We also delve into the impact of COVID-19, the role of politics in societal change, the influence of taxation and inflation on the economy, and the potential of Bitcoin as a solution to many of these issues. - - - - Normative behaviour in society at any one time may be codified such that it appears to be a natural law: behaviour, dress, language, and demeanour are perceived to be as fixed as biological traits. However, culture is merely a template for expectations in a social group. Acceptable conduct is malleable. The history of civilisation is full of profound shifts in cultural social behaviour and societal norms. It is not uncommon for marginal groups within society to test the paradigm. However, we do appear to be at a rare inflection point. Society is split between two equally powerful ideologies, both of which lay claim to the cultural elite mantle. Wokeism, whilst being criticised by some as being a lazy pejorative for a wide range of progressive liberal opinions, does have roots in an understandable backlash against the promotion of identity politics and cancel culture. Robert Breedlove however views wokeism as another form of cultural Marxism funded by the state. In this podcast, he suggested that it is a divide-and-conquer strategy to create a demand for stronger governance. We discussed whether the development of these ideologies is organic or intentional. Robert leaned towards the latter, comparing it to the romantic lies told throughout history to justify theft. Robert explained his perspective on the influence of Marxism on the social institutions of the West. He believes that Marxism seeks to abolish private property, which he sees as the foundation of civilization and justice. He also connects the rise of cultural Marxism with the increasing violation of private property rights. When asked about the solution to these issues, Robert proposed that making property harder to violate is crucial. He sees Bitcoin as a potential solution, as it provides inviolable private property rights. With a Bitcoin standard, the state's ability to print money would be limited, reducing their revenue source and potentially leading to a more peaceful and prosperous world by creating less incentive for people to politic and more incentive for them to produce. - Show notes: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/life-liberty-the-pursuit-of-bitcoin This episode's sponsors: Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.
