Vi har jaggu mye å takke Professor Ove Jakobsen for, og der starter vi denne samtalen. Det var jo på Oves doktorgradskurs i kretsløpsøkonomi vi møttes for mange herrens år siden, og tankegodset som vi fikk innsikt i der, har formet arbeidet og tenkningen vårt i alle disse årene etterpå. Ove formulerte ideen om en romskipsøkonomi i kontrast til en cowboyøkonomi, hvor man alltid kunne dra lengre vest for å finne flere ressurser. Dette setter i gang en prat om sirkulærøkonomi og mer generelt om de massive ressursene som trengs for å holde økonomien vår i gang. Vi drar til kysten av Møre og Romsdal og snakker om fiskeri, hvaler og båtmotorer, etter et treff med en fjerdegenerasjons bedriftsleder med sans for økonomisk historie. Det går an å ha kontonummer 5 i en bank, og det går også an å undervise i bærekraftig business i Roma, og det var vi heldige nok til å gjøre forleden. Der fikk Sveinung et boktips som har satt i gang hodet hans i høygir, og vi snakker oss inn i Vaclav Smils perspektiver på global ressursbruk og avhengigheten vår av olje, plast, sement og ammoniakk. Dette vekker Lars Jacobs minne om en National Geographic-artikkel fra 2020 som spør om en verden uten avfall er mulig. Vi tilkjennegir at vi lever i en ganske fordømt lineær økonomi og at store tall er vanskelig å forholde seg til. Sveinung setter ord på skalaen av utfordringen ved å vise til en ciabatta, han sammenligner vakre og mindre vakre prinsesser og vi blir enige (som vanlig) om at det er nok problemer der ute til alle. Vi minner om vår seneste kommentarartikkel i Teknisk Ukeblad, med tittelen "En sirkulær økonomi er ikke mer sirkulær enn sitt mest lineære ledd", mimrer om San Sebastian, og Sveinung jazzer over tomater med olje (nei, ikke den typen olje du vil ha på tomatene dine). Den stakkars veganske kafeen dukker opp igjen, og det samme gjør Braungart og McDonoughs sirkulære dusj. Sveinung tenker på konkrete sirkulærøkonomiske tiltak i små og mellomstore bedrifter og trekker frem Hadelandsregionens satsing på bærekraftsinnovasjon og de mange resultatene bedriftene der har fått til. Vi snakker avslutningsvis om de mange forestillingene og oppfatningene vi har som kanskje kan stå i veien for ekte bærekraftsforbedringer og innrømmer sviktende naturvitenskapelig kompetanse. Lars Jacob refererer til oppsiktsvekkende (og kanskje deprimerende) demografiske fremskrivninger via tidligere Nature-redaktør Phillip Ball, og Sveinung avslutter med en lovnad om at vi skal grave oss mer ned i energiproblematikk fremover.

A Matter of Consciousness (00:00) Intro and T-shirts: Ghostbusters and Picard (02:57) Joe discusses his article "Beneath the Skin of Capitalism." (6:00) The nature of consciousness, matter, and dualism have profound implications for ethics, human rights, and how society should be organized. (09:01) Dualism vs. materialism / physicalism. Time, space, entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. Plato, Aristotle, and Descartes. (34:40) The brain as a receiving station. The Matrix. The simulation hypothesis. (48:49) The materialistic view of consciousness. The hard problem of consciousness, and qualia. Philosophical zombies, and the homunculus. Why does the experience of having a brain feel like something? (58:58) If consciousness is material, then we are nature and nature is us. The implied hierarchy of dualism, that mind and spirit are greater than the body. (01:02:40) Ethical implications of machine consciousness. How reflecting on conscious machines will help us better understand what it means to be human. (01:06:00) Panpsychism: Could consciousness be an elemental force like gravity? (01:10:57) Consciousness monism, Biocentrism, and the Buddhist "ground of being." (01:34:18) Summation and outro. ______________________________ https://www.theradicalsecular.com/blog/capitalism-and-its-discontents (Beneath the Skin of Capitalism, by Joe Occhipinti) https://plato.stanford.edu/ (The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) https://www.blacksunjournal.com/science/1264_the-radio-wave-argument_2008 (The Radio Wave Argument, by Sean Prophet) https://www.amazon.com/Singularity-Near-Humans-Transcend-Biology/dp/0143037889 (The Singularity is Near, by Ray Kurzweil) https://www.amazon.com/How-Create-Mind-Thought-Revealed-ebook/dp/B007V65UUG (How to Create a Mind, by Ray Kurzweil) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000SEKHK6/ (The Emotion Machine, by Marvin Minsky) https://www.amazon.com/Consciousness-Explained-Daniel-C-Dennett-ebook/dp/B01N807LD2/ (Consciousness Explained, by Daniel Dennett) https://qz.com/1184574/the-idea-that-everything-from-spoons-to-stones-are-conscious-is-gaining-academic-credibility/ (The idea that everything from spoons to stones is conscious is gaining academic credibility, by Olivia Goldhill) http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20170215-the-strange-link-between-the-human-mind-and-quantum-physics (The strange link between the human mind and quantum physics, by Phillip Ball) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003PJ6UHA/ (Biocentrism, by Robert Lanza) https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/5/2/422/htm (Buddhist Mind and Matter, by Francisca Cho) ________________________________ Website Email: theradicalsecular@gmail.com Instagram: @radical_secular https://www.facebook.com/theradicalsecular (Facebook) Twitter: @RadicalSecular https://the-radical-secular.captivate.fm/ (Podcast) All standard podcast venues: Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon, Gaana, Saavn

Talk about left brain, right brain! Paivi Eerola is one of those people who can do both. From a practical career in IT, Paivi finally left that safety net to become a full time artist, and there's been no looking back. Tune into this interview to learn more about Paivi and… how she left the IT world to return to her childhood love of doing art how she uses her left/right brain background to help teach students to become better artists the many online art courses she now teaches to students around the world how she started with blogging and knitting in 2007 the biggest thing she did to grow her online business (besides starting in 2007) listened to her audience to help determine her business directions the realization that led her doing more live and interactive courses her specialty that helps others develop their artistic nature where she gets a lot of her art inspiration what she calls her kind of art a difference in American and Finnish art and why Paivi has more American students how to create more intuitively what helps creativity and what can hinder it her art business and so much more!! “When you create intuitively, it's more about seeing what appears on the paper than trying to compare the image in your mind with the image that you're producing.”~Paivi Eerola, abstract intuitive artistWe hope you enjoy this interview with Paivi as much as we did. She's a wealth of information, knowledge, and experience.

One hundred years ago D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson published On Growth and Form, a book with a mission to put maths into biology. He showed how the shapes, forms and growth processes we see in the living world aren’t some arbitrary result of evolution’s blind searching, but are dictated by mathematical rules. A flower, a honeycomb, a dragonfly’s wing: it’s not sheer chance that these look the way they do. But can these processes be explained by physics? D'Arcy Thompson loved nature’s shapes and influenced a whole new field of systems biology, architects, designers and artists, including Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Presented by Phillip Ball.

What do you do when you've described the nature of the universe? In the late 1920s Einstein was working on a grand unified theory of the universe, having given us E=mc2, space-time and the fourth dimension. He was also working on a fridge. Perhaps motivated by a story in the Berlin newspapers about a family who died when toxic fumes leaked from their state-of the-art refrigerator, Einstein teamed up with another physicist Leo Szilard and designed a new, safer refrigerating technology. And so it was that in 1930, the man who had once famously worked in the patent office in Bern was granted a patent of his own. Number: 1, 781, 541. Title: refrigeration. Phillip Ball explores this little known period of Einstein's life to try and find out why he turned his extraordinary mind to making fridges safer. Despite considerable commercial interest in the patent, Einstein's fridge didn't get built in his lifetime.The Great Depression forced AEG and others to close down their refrigeration research. But in 2008 a team of British scientists decided to give it a go.Their verdict : Einstein's fridge doesn't work. Producer: Anna Buckley.
