Published in 2011, the book explores the science of human desire, particularly focusing on sexual preferences and behaviors, by analyzing vast amounts of online data. Key Themes and Insights:Data-Driven Approach to Understanding Desire: The authors leverage data from online searches, adult websites, and digital interactions to gain insights into human desires. This empirical approach contrasts with traditional theories that often rely on small sample sizes or anecdotal evidence.Widespread Online Behavior: The book examines how the internet has significantly changed the way people explore their sexuality and desires. It suggests that online platforms reveal hidden facets of human behavior that were previously difficult to study.Gender Differences in Desire: One of the critical findings centers around the differences in male and female sexual desires. The authors observe that men tend to prefer visual stimuli and are often more straightforward in their desires, while women's desires may be influenced by contextual factors and tend to encompass a broader emotional spectrum.Fantasy and Reality: The authors delve into how fantasies differ from actual sexual preferences and behaviors. They discuss how fantasy serves various psychological functions, including escapism or validation of personal identities.Influence of Technology: The book highlights the impact of technology on human relationships and sexuality. It discusses phenomena like online dating and social media, exploring how they reshape the landscape of attraction and intimacy.The Role of Culture: Gaddam and Ogas argue that cultural factors significantly influence sexual desires.

Lasīt ogas, sēņot, ievākt zāļu tējas - tā ir Eiropā nemaz ne tik bieži novērota nodarbe 21. gadsimtā, tomēr latvieši to aizvien piekopj. Vienam tas ir sezonāls peļņas avots, citam - hobijs un relaksācija, vēl kādam gadu no gadu piekopta tradīcija, kas iezīmē gadalaika ritumu. Kā šī tradīcija ievākt savvaļas augus turpinās mūsdienās? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā vērtē sociologs, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes (RSU) tenūrprofesors Miķelis Grīviņš un RSU Sociālo zinātņu fakultātes vadošā pētniece Jana Kukaine. Pirms sarunas zinātnes ziņas Skatoties, ko šonedēļ atklāj zinātnei veltītās tīmekļa vietnes, var teikt arī labi zināmās lietās var ieraudzīt ko jaunu, un allaž pastāv iespēja vēl ko nezināmu atrast tur, kur it kā viss jau ir atklāts. Matemātiķi aprakstījuši jauna veida formu, kas sastopama dabā Žurnāls “Nature” raksta, ka matemātiķi atklājuši jaunu kategoriju formai, kas redzama dabā, un tās ir tā saucamās “mīkstās šūnas” - formas ar noapaļotiem stūriem un smailiem galiem, kas sader kopā plaknē. Šādas formas ir raksturīgas sīpoliem (šķēsgriezumā to var labi redzēt), moluskiem, tas ir arī veids, kādā sēklas ir “iepakotas” augos. Tātad visai bieži izplatīta parādība dabā, un matemātiķiem interesējis, kā šādas formas aizpilda virsmu divdimensionāli. Mākslīgais intelekts palīdzējis atklāt simtiem seno Naskas zīmējumu Peru tuksnesī Arheologi ir izmantojuši mākslīgo intelektu, lai atklātu simtiem liela mēroga Naskas zīmējumu Peru tuksnesī, un šajos zīmējumos attēlotas tādas figūras kā lamas un nocirstas cilvēku galvas. Arheologi saista šos darinājumus ar Naskas kultūras cilvēkiem, kuri aptuveni pirms 2000 gadu sāka iegravēt zemē šādus attēlus, ko sauc par ģeoglifiem. Šie konkrētie ģeoglifi ir mazāki un vecāki par Naskas līnijām un citām līdz šim atrastajām figūrām, kas attēlo milzīgas, vairāku kilometru garumā izstiepušās ģeometriskas formas, vai savvaļas dzīvniekus, kuru garums ir vidēji aptuveni 90 metri. Jaunatklātajos attēlos parasti ir attēlotas humanoīdu figūras un pieradināti dzīvnieki, kuru garums ir aptuveni deviņi metri. Hroniskas traumatiskās encefalopātijas agrīnās pazīmes “National Geographic” raksta, ka vairāku gadu garumā pētnieki ir novērojuši 130 bokserus un jauktās cīņas mākslas sportistus, pamanot izmaiņas sportistu smadzeņu tilpumā un kognitīvajās prasmēs, tādā veidā prognozējot hronisku traumatisko encefalopātiju. Saskaņā ar pētījumu katrs trešais bijušais Amerikāņu Nacionālās futbola līgas sportists uzskata, ka viņam ir neirodeģeneratīvi traucējumi, ko izraisījuši vairāki satricinājumi vai sitieni pa galvu.

Have you ever felt confused or ashamed by your sexual desires and turn-ons? Well, get ready to embrace the wonderful diversity of human sexuality without shame or judgment. In this episode, Kirsten goes deep inside the sexual brain with the help of Dr. Ogi Ogas, a Harvard researcher and mathematical neurscientist who analyzes massive data sets from online searches, porn sites, erotic stories and more. His findings shed scientific light on everything from the stark differences between male and female sexual cues to the paradoxical fetishes and fantasies we all share across cultures. You'll learn why men are so visually inclined, craving videos and images, while women tend to be turned on more by personalities and emotional context. We'll explore men's fascination with large penises, women's rape fantasies, and how our ancient primate hardwiring still influences modern desires around dominance, submission, and more. Whether it's the reasons behind cuckolding or the erotic appeal of paranormal romance novels, Dr. Ogas maps out the neural circuitry driving our sexual thoughts and behaviors. Above all, you'll come away with a greater self-understanding and compassion for the full spectrum of sexual diversity. It's an eye-opening, judgment-free exploration of our deepest sexual desires.

Dr. Ogi Ogas is a theorist, author, and visiting scholar at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where he serves as Project Head for the Individual Mastery Project. Ogas boasts to be in possession of the end theory of consciousness, and he makes a rock solid case for it. You be the judge. Our conversation begins with an introduction to the problems of consciousness and walks through a topological framework for the emergence of increased complexity in biological awareness, culminating in rare cases of self-consciousness, perhaps best exemplified by our own species. We then consider the future evolution of consciousness as humans reach outward for the stars. Tell us what you think!

Amelia, Djamil, Christian, and Rudy join for a discussion on the history of Soviet Cybernetics and the use of computers for socialist planning. We discuss the origins of Cybernetics, its role as a reform movement in the sciences, and why cybernetics became attractive to the Soviet academy in the 50s, before moving to the biographies and projects of Anatoly Kitov and Viktor Glushkov. We reflect on the failures of OGAS, and what could have been done better, as well as its positive legacy and finish by discussing the ways in which cybernetics was kept alive until the collapse of the USSR and the remaining possibilities for computerized planning.

Ana and Camila chat about the development of a Soviet nationwide information network in the 60s that was meant to run a planned economy for the USSR. Built after Sputnik's launch, it brought about Soviet cybernetics and promised a new era for Soviet sciences, mathematics economics and technology. Discussing the project's termination due to inner-bureaucratic competition, this episode also looks at ARPANET's simultaneous development; its surprisingly socialist structures of funding and collaborative mindsets that led to its success.We're on Instagram!And Twitter!Main research for the episode was done by Ana who also edited.Music by Nelson Guay (SoundCloud: fluxlinkages)References:- “How Not to Network a Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet”, Benjamin Peters, 2016- “Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration”, Ed Catmull, 2014- “The Californian Ideology”, Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron, 1995

I just finished reading a book by Ben Peters called How Not To Network A Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet. The book is an amazing deep dive into the Soviet attempts to build a national information network primarily in the 60s. The book covers a lot of ground and has a lot of characters, although the most recurring is Viktor Glushkov, and if the protagonist isn't the Russian scientific establishment, perhaps it is Viktor Glushkov. And if there's a primary theme, it's looking at why the Soviets were unable to build a data network that covered the Soviet Union, allowing the country to leverage computing at a micro and a macro scale The final chapter of the book is one of the best summaries and most insightful I've ever read on the history of computers. While he doesn't directly connect the command and control heterarchy of the former Soviet Union to how many modern companies are run, he does identify a number of ways that the Russian scientists were almost more democratic, or at least in their zeal for a technocratic economy, than the US Military-Industrial-University complex of the 60s. The Sources and Bibliography is simply amazing. I wish I had time to read and listen and digest all of the information that went into the making if this amazing book. And the way he cites notes that build to conclusions. Just wow. In a previous episode, we covered the memo, “Memorandum for Members and Affiliates of the Intergalactic Computer Network” - sent by JCR Licklider in 1963. This was where the US Advanced Research Projects Agency instigated a nationwide network for research. That network, called ARPAnet, would go online in 1969, and the findings would evolve and change hands when privatized into what we now call the Internet. We also covered the emergence of Cybernetics, which Norbert Wiener defined in 1948 as a the systems-based science of communication and automatic control systems - and we covered the other individuals influential in its development. It's easy to draw a straight line between that line of thinking and the evolution that led to the ARPAnet. In his book, Peters shows how Glushkov uncovered cybernetics and came to the same conclusion that Licklider had, that the USSR needed a network that would link the nation. He was a communist and so the network would help automate the command economy of the growing Russian empire, an empire that would need more people managing it than there were people in Russia, if the bureaucracy continued to grow at a pace that was required to do the manual computing to get resources to factories and good to people. He had this epiphany after reading Wiener's book on cybernetics - which had been hidden away from the Russian people as American propaganda. Glushkov's contemporary, Anatoly Kitov had come to the same realization back in 1959. By 1958 the US had developed the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment, or SAGE. The last of that equipment went offline in 1984. The environment was a system of networked radar equipment that could be used as eyes in the sky to detect a Soviet attack. It was crazy to think about that a few years ago, but think today about a radar system capable of detecting influence in elections and maybe notsomuch any more. SAGE linked computers built by IBM. The Russians saw defense as cost prohibitive. Yet at Stalin's orders they began to develop a network of radar sites in a network of sorts around Moscow in the early 50s, extending to Leningrad. They developed the BESM-1 mainframe in 1952 to 1953 and while Stalin was against computing and western cybernetic doctrine outside of the military, as in America, they were certainly linking sites to launch missiles. Lev Korolyov worked on BESM and then led the team to build the ballistic missile defense system. So it should come as no surprise that after a few years Soviet scientists like Glushkov and Kitov would look to apply military computing know-how to fields like running the economics of the country. Kitov had seen technology patterns before they came. He studied nuclear physics before World War II, then rocketry after the war, and he then went to the Ministry of Defence at Bureau No 245 to study computing. This is where he came in contact with Wiener's book on Cybernetics in 1951, which had been banned in Russia at the time. Kitov would work on ballistic missiles and his reputation in the computing field would grow over the years. Kitov would end up with hundreds of computing engineers under his leadership, rising to the rank of Colonel in the military. By 1954 Kitov was tasked with creating the first computing center for the Ministry of Defence. They would take on the computing tasks for the military. He would oversee the development of the M-100 computer and the transition into transistorized computers. By 1956 he would write a book called “Electronic Digital Computers” and over time, his views on computers grew to include solving problems that went far beyond science and the military. Running company Kitov came up with the Economic Automated Management System in 1959. This was denied because the military didn't want to share their technology. Khrushchev sent Brezhnev, who was running the space program and an expert in all things tech, to meet with Kitov. Kitov was suggesting they use this powerful network of computer centers to run the economy when the Soviets were at peace and the military when they were at war. Kitov would ultimately realize that the communist party did not want to automate the economy. But his “Red Book” project would ultimately fizzle into one of reporting rather than command and control over the years. The easy answer as to why would be that Stalin had considered computers the tool of imperialists and that feeling continued with some in the communist party. The issues are much deeper than that though and go to the heart of communism. You see, while we want to think that communism is about the good of all, it is irrational to think that people will act ways in their own self-interest. Microeconomics and macroeconomics. And automating command certainly seems to reduce the power of those in power who see that command taken over by a machine. And so Kitov was expelled from the communist party and could no longer hold a command. Glushkov then came along recommending the National Automated System for Computation and Information Processing, or OGAS for short, in 1962. He had worked on computers in Kyiv and then moved to become the Director of the Computer Center in Ukraine at the Academy of Science. Being even more bullish on the rise of computing, Glushkov went further even added an electronic payment system on top of controlling a centrally planned economy. Computers were on the rise in various computer centers and other locations and it just made sense to connect them. And they did at small scales. As was done at MIT, Glushkov built a walled garden of researchers in his own secluded nerd-heaven. He too made a grand proposal. He too saw the command economy of the USSR as one that could be automated with a computer, much as many companies around the world were employing ERP solutions in the coming decades. The Glushkov proposal continued all the way to the top. They were able to show substantial return on investment yet the proposal to build OGAS was ultimately shot down in 1970 after years of development. While the Soviets were attempting to react to the development of the ARPAnet, they couldn't get past infighting. The finance minister opposed it and flatly refused. There were concerns about which ministry the system would belong to and basically political infighting much as I've seen at many of the top companies in the world (and increasingly in the US government). A major thesis of the book is that the Soviet entrepreneurs trying to build the network acted more like capitalists than communists and Americans building our early networks acted more like socialists than capitalists. This isn't about individual financial gains though. Glushkov and Kitov in fact saw how computing could automate the economy to benefit everyone. But a point that Peters makes in the book is centered around informal financial networks. Peters points out that Blat, the informal trading of favors that we might call a black market or corruption, was common place. An example he uses in the book is that if a factory performs at 101% of expected production the manager can just slide under the radar. But if they perform at 120% then those gains will be expected permanently and if they ever dip below the expected productivity, they might meet a poor fate. Thus Blat provides a way to trade goods informally and keep the status quo. A computer doing daily reports would make this kind of flying under the radar of Gosplan, or the Soviet State Planning Committee difficult. Thus factory bosses would likely inaccurately enter information into computers and further the Tolchachs, or pushers, of Blat. A couple of points I'd love to add onto those Peters made, which wouldn't be obvious without that amazing last paragraph in the book. The first is that I've never read Bush, Licklider, or any of the early pioneers claim computers should run a macroeconomy. The closest thing that could run a capitalist economy. And the New York Stock Exchange would begin the process of going digital in 1966 when the Dow was at 990. The Dow sat at about that same place until 1982. Can you imagine that these days? Things looked bad when it dropped to 18,500. And the The London Stock Exchange held out going digital until 1986 - just a few years after the dow finally moved over a thousand. Think about that as it hovers around $26,000 today. And look at the companies and imagine which could get by without computers running their company - much less which are computer companies. There are 2 to 6 billion trades a day. It would probably take more than the population of Russia just to push those numbers if it all weren't digital. In fact now, there's an app (or a lot of apps) for that. But the point is, going back to Bush's Memex, computers were to aid in human decision making. In a world with an exploding amount of data about every domain, Bush had prophesied the Memex would help connect us to data and help us to do more. That underlying tenant infected everyone that read his article and is something I think of every time I evaluate an investment thesis based on automation. There's another point I'd like to add to this most excellent book. Computers developed in the US were increasingly general purpose and democratized. This led to innovative new applications just popping up and changing the world, like spreadsheets and word processors. Innovators weren't just taking a factory “online” to track the number of widgets sold and deploying ICBMs - they were foundations for building anything a young developer wanted to build. The uses in education with PLATO, in creativity with Sketchpad, in general purpose languages and operating systems, in early online communities with mail and bulletin boards, in the democratization of the computer itself with the rise of the pc and the rapid proliferation with the introduction of games, and then the democratization of raw information with the rise of gopher and the web and search engines. Miniaturized and in our pockets, those are the building blocks of modern society. And the word democratization to me means a lot. But as Peters points out, sometimes the Capitalists act like Communists. Today we close down access to various parts of those devices by the developers in order to protect people. I guess the difference is now we can build our own but since so many of us do that at #dayjob we just want the phone to order us dinner. Such is life and OODA loops. In retrospect, it's easy to see how technological determinism would lead to global information networks. It's easy to see electronic banking and commerce and that people would pay for goods in apps. As the Amazon stock soars over $3,000 and what Jack Ma has done with Alibaba and the empires built by the technopolies at Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and dozens of others. In retrospect, it's easy to see the productivity gains. But at the time, it was hard to see the forest through the trees. The infighting got in the way. The turf-building. The potential of a bullet in the head from your contemporaries when they get in power can do that I guess. And so the networks failed to be developed in the USSR and ARPAnet would be transferred to the National Science Foundation in 1985, and the other nets would grow until it was all privatized into the network we call the Internet today, around the same time the Soviet Union was dissolved. As we covered in the episode on the history of computing in Poland, empires simply grow beyond the communications mediums available at the time. By the fall of the Soviet Union, US organizations were networking in a build up from early adopters, who made great gains in productivity increases and signaled the chasm crossing that was the merging of the nets into the Internet. And people were using modems to connect to message boards and work with data remotely. Ironically, that merged Internet that China has splinterneted and that Russia seems poised to splinter further. But just as hiding Wiener's cybernetics book from the Russian people slowed technological determinism in that country, cutting various parts of the Internet off in Russia will slow progress if it happens. The Soviets did great work on macro and micro economic tracking and modeling under Glushkov and Kitov. Understanding what you have and how data and products flow is one key aspect of automation. And sometimes even more important in helping humans make better-informed decisions. Chile tried something similar in 1973 under Salvador Allende, but that system failed as well. And there's a lot to digest in this story. But that word progress is important. Let's say that Russian or Chinese crackers steal military-grade technology from US or European firms. Yes, they get the tech, but not the underlying principals that led to the development of that technology. Just as the US and partners don't proliferate all of their ideas and ideals by restricting the proliferation of that technology in foreign markets. Phil Zimmerman opened floodgates when he printed the PGP source code to enable the export of military-grade encryption. The privacy gained in foreign theaters contributed to greater freedoms around the world. And crime. But crime will happen in an oppressive regime just as it will in one espousing freedom. So for you hackers tuning in - whether you're building apps, hacking business, or reingineering for a better tomorrow: next time you're sitting in a meeting and progress is being smothered at work or next time you see progress being suffocated by a government, remember that those who you think are trying to hold you back either don't see what you see, are trying to protect their own power, or they might just be trying to keep progress from outpacing what their constituents are ready for. And maybe those are sometimes the same thing, just from a different perspective. Because go fast at all costs not only leaves people behind but sometimes doesn't build a better mousetrap than what we have today. Or, go too fast and like Kitov you get stripped of your command. No matter how much of a genius you, or your contemporary Glushkov are. The YouTube video called “Internet of Colonel Kitov” has a great quote: “pioneers are recognized by the arrows sticking out of their backs.” But hey, at least history was on their side! Thank you for tuning in to the History of Computing Podcast. We are so, so, so lucky to have you. Have a great day and I hope you too are on the right side of history!

Nešaubīgi, mellenes ir viena no Latvijas dabas bagātībām un pasaulē pieprasījums pēc tām arvien aug. Zinātnieki kā pasaulē, tā arī Latvijā gūst aizvien jaunus pierādījumus par melleņu labajām īpašībām cilvēka veselības saglabāšanā. Mellenēm ir arī būtiska loma tautsaimniecībā, un zinātnieki Latvijā pēta aizvien jaunas iespējas šo ogu pārstrādei un izmantošanai kā pārtikā, tā zāļu ražošanā. Taču ko mēs zinām par to, kā mellenes aug, kā veidojas to kolonijas un kā mellenājus ietekmē apkārtējā vide un klimata pārmaiņas? Stāsta Latvijas Valsts mežzinātnes institūta “Silava” pētniece Agnese Gailīte un Latvijas Universitātes Bioloģijas fakultātes docente Iluta Dauškane. Izrādās, lai melleņu mētras izaugtu un dotu ražu, jāgaida gana ilgi. Iluta Dauškane atklāj, ka jāpaiet vismaz 30 gadiem, lai mellenāji izaugtu un sāktu kārtīgi ražot mežā, kur bijusi kailcirte. Līdzīgi kā kokiem ir gadskārtu apļi un tos var pētīt, tādas pašas ir arī melleņu krūmiem. Un tās pastāsta, kā augi jūtas. Gadskārtas veidojas melleņu mētras stumbriņā un, izmantojot īpašas metodes, var izdarīt griezumu un pētīt. Arī auga saknēs veidojas gadskārtas. Vecākā Latvijā atrastā melleņu mētra ir 23 gadus vecas. Pasaulē ir pat 80 gadus veci melleņu krūmi. Melleņu gadskārtas ir svarīgi saistīt ar klimata izmaiņām un kā tas mainīs ražību, un arī ar šobrīd aktuālu tēmu – mežu apsaimniekošanu. Mellenes ir viens no prioritāriem nekoksnes resursiem. Šobrīd par klimata ietekmi uz mellenēm ir maz pētījumu un tie ir pretrunīgi. Vairāk ir pētījumi ir par mellenēm un mežu apsaimniekošanu. Secinājums – visbīstamākās mellenēm ir kailcirtes, jo tad lielākā daļa melleņu iet bojā, jo mainās apgaismojums un klimats, kā arī tehniski tiek bojāta augsne. Arī jaunaudzēs nav liela melleņu ražas. Ruiša pūķgalve - gada augs 2020.gadā Skaistu ziedu, prasīga un reta – tāda ir Ruiša pūķgalve – 2020.gada augs, ko izvēlējās Latvijas botāniķu biedrība. Skaisti skan gan zinātniskais nosaukums Dracocephalum ruyschiana, gan arī pats zilganais zieds ir krāšņs. Kā var lasīt Latvijas botāniķu biedrības mājas lapā, tad augs šo nosaukumu ieguvis par godu holandiešu izcelsmes botāniķim un anatomam Frederikam Ruišam, bet Latvijā Ruiša pūķgalvi pirmoreiz atradis dabaspētnieks Eduards Lēmanis un tas noticis pirms aptuveni 200 simtiem gadu. Iepazīt tuvāk šo augu palīdz Latvijas Botāniķu biedrības valdes locekle Maija Medne Pasaulē izplatītas ap 40 pūķgalvju sugu. Daudzas no tām ir mazprasīgas un aug pat dzelzceļa malās. Pūķgalves ir iecienījuši bitenieki kā labu nektāraugu saviem kukaiņiem un arī ārstniecisko tēju sastāvā var sastapt pūķgalvi.
Liekas, ka pasaulē nav citas tādas ogas, kas tik ļoti var atšķirties pēc krāsas, lieluma un formas. Runa, protams, ir par ķirbjiem, kuru šķirņu daudzveidību varēs šonedēļ novērtēt Latvijas Dabas muzejā izstādē "„Ķirbji un citas lielas ogas 2019", kas norisinās no 23. līdz 27. oktobrim. Raidījums Kā labāk dzīvot uz muzeju dodas trešdienas rītā, lai uzklausītu Latvijas ķirbju audzētāju pieredzi un izdibinātu kādu noslēpumu, kā tad labāk šīs ogas audzēt. Par ķirbju audzēšanu stāsta dārzniece Elga Bražūne, kura atzīst, ka savā saimniecībā pie ķirbjiem vairāk palīgs, tos audzē viņas meita Saiva Pekuse. Sarma Žarčinska, kas jau 70 gadus audzē ķirbjus, atklāj, ka ķirbi nevajag audzēt uz mēslu kaudzes, bet droši var audzēt uz komposta. Sausās vasarās noteikti jālaista! Maija Čerjaka stāsta ne tikai par ķirbju, bet arī paprikas audzēšanu. Austra Zaļuma no Dobeles vairāk audzē dekoratīvos ķirbjus, bet viņas kolekcijā ir arī saldais kartupelis. Viņa iepazīstina arī ar citu dobelnieku veikumu. Savukārt Valentīna Kuzņecova izaudzējusi arī kabūzi – arbūza un kabača krustojumu. Arvīds Neimanis uz izstādi atvedis dekoratīvos ķirbjus. Raidījumu kopā ar Elvi Jansonu vada kulinārijas un gastronomijas speciāliste, populāru pavārgrāmatu autore Iveta Galēja.
Decades ago the Kinsey Institute infamously attempted to define the parameters of human sexual thought and behavior. Over the years books such as My Secret Garden by Nancy Friday have elaborated upon just how dirty the human mind can get. But it wasn't until Internet-driven research came along that we really found out what human beings think and do in private anonymity. This bold insight comes to you in large part courtesy of my guest, neuroscientist Dr. Ogi Ogas, along with his fellow researchers. So how did Ogi compile all of his research, and how can he know it's accurate? How did it differ from other scientists' expectations? What's up with women's 'rape fantasies', and how does what goes on in their romance novels differ from what happens in online porn? What other dark emotions are most prevalent in human sexual fantasies...and how are they often weirdly in conflict with each other? What is the one sexual fantasy we all seem to secretly have in common, regardless of our gender or sexual orientation? And how come the porn we choose to watch tends to depict something different than the sexual experiences we'd partake of IRL? Next, get Ogi's surprising thoughts on so-called 'female friendly' porn, and the REAL reason why women can be so resentful of mainstream porn designed for men. Are women watching porn at all? If so, how many of them...and what types of them? How do women really view porn usage by their significant others, and the fantasies associated with it? How many people partake of truly unusual or even illegal porn? And as men, are we really turned on by the types of women the media says we should be? Prepare to have your pre-conceived notions of what 'normal' fantasies look like completely upended.

According to the book, Dark Horse, society has systems of education and employment management that require us "to be the same as everyone else, only better." As designed, these systems are a zero-sum game with only limited opportunities for a few. Thus, these systems leave "most of us feeling disengaged, frustrated, and yearning for something more personal and authentic." Harvard researcher and Dark Horse coauthor Dr. Ogi Ogas discusses how real life dark horses are able to attaining personal fulfillment and professional success, not by following the standardize systems of society, but by tapping into each individual's micro-motives and then being willing to make decisions in the moment that reflect who they truly are. Achieving greater fulfillment is not about taking the standard pathway towards some long term goal, nor does it require the dark horse to be endowed with marvelous gifts. The dark horse mindset involves harnessing each person's individuality, not society's systems bent on conformity, in pursuit of personal satisfaction in order to achieve professional excellence. As part of the Dark Horse Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, researchers focused on many different individuals including several animal professionals including marine mammal trainers like former Zoo Logic guest, Ken Ramirez. Also, to celebrate World Penguin Day, we're joined by a penguin expert from SeaWorld San Diego to discuss the current status of these iconic flightless birds, as well as, SeaWorld's rich history and contributions to species other than orcas, dolphins, and sea lions. Mallory Lindsay shares another Ms Mallory Minute on the unusual Hagfish. https://lsi.gse.harvard.edu/dark-horse www.iReinforce.com https://mallorylindsay.com https://sanccob.co.za www.facebook.com/ZooLogicpodcast/ https://seaworld.org/animals/all-about/penguins/

In Greek mythology, Tiresias was a blind prophet, the most famous soothsayer of ancient Greece. Having angered a goddess, he was transformed into a woman as punishment. Seven years later, Tiresias was able to reverse the curse, and became male once again. Since Tiresias possessed the knowledge of being both a man and woman, he was revered by even the gods.Today's guest, Professor Ogi Ogas, is one of the first in history to see both male and female's secret sexual desires clearly and to extrapolate scientific explanations for them. The discoveries of Prof. Ogas and his academic partner, Sai Gaddam, came out of their background in cognitive neuroscience, and was bolstered by their brilliant use of the internet's empirical data. This work culminated in their groundbreaking book "A Billion Wicked Thoughts."While working for years in the porn business, I had an intuitive idea about what men were into, but I never had the science to back it up. Three years ago, I read Ogi's Wall Street Journal article about his ingenious research, and was awed by it. I sent him an email and, to my delight, he wrote me back. We became fast friends.
We have Dr. Ogi Ogas and Dr. Sai Gaddam on today speaking on their book A Billion Wicked Thoughts Dr. Ogi Ogas received his PhD in computational neuroscience from Boston University, where he designed mathematical models of learning, memory, and vision. Dr. Sai Gaddam conducted his doctoral research at Boston University on biologically inspired models of machine learning. He collaborated with Hewlett-Packard to design nanoscale processors that mimic noisy, massively parallel brain computations... In a stroke of ingenuity, Ogas and Gaddam circumvent the deepest limitation of standard psychological surveys: that they merely tap undergraduates’ socially acceptable responses, a flaw nowhere more damaging than in the touchy realm of sexuality. A Billion Wicked Thoughts is a goldmine of information about this hugely important topic, and, not surprisingly, gripping and sometimes disturbing reading.” --Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and The Blank Slate
