Marisha Rasi-Koskisen tuore romaani Kesuura kysyy paljon isoja kysymyksiä, kuten millaista olisi eläytyä toislajisen olennon tunteisiin, missä menevät ihmisyyden rajat, voisiko olla rohkeutta kurkata hierarkkisen maailmanjärjestyksen toiselle puolelle, mitä ylipäätään on tietoisuus sekä miten ruumiillisuus on väheksytty näkökulma kun puhutaan älykkyydestä ja ihmisyydestä. Ja samaan aikaan kirja rullaa eteenpäin kuin jännitysnäytelmä. Keskustelimme näistä ja muistakin kysymyksistä, ja saimme aikaan lisää kysymyksiä!

Perjantaistudio pohtii miten Helsingissä koolla oleva ETYJ-kokous ylevine periaatteineen täyttää tehtävänsä. Käsittelyssä ovat myös ikärajat netin aikuissisällölle, South Parkin vinoilu Donald Trumpin pienestä peniksestä sekä näyttelijä Sydney Sweeneyn somen sekoittanut farkkumainos. OIKAISU: Kohdassa 28:48 (alkaen) väitettiin, että Paramountin kanavan CBS:n 60 minutes -ohjelma olisi tuomittu korvauksiin Harrisin haastattelun vääristelevästä editoinnista. Tosiasiassa Paramount maksoi 16 miljoonaa dollaria välttyäkseen oikeudenkäynniltä. CBS:n omistaa viihdejätti Paramount, jonka suurin omistaja, miljardööri Shari Redstone haluaa myydä Paramountin Skydance-yhtiölle. Lehtitietojen mukaan Redstone halusi CBS:n sopivan oikeusjutun, jotta Trumpin viranomaiset eivät estä kauppaa. Rahat menivät Trumpin kirjaston hyväksi. Ja hei, missä viipyy kunnon kesähitti vuosimallia 2025? Ei ole Väinöä missään eikä ahon laitaa kuljettu. Vakiraatilaisista mukana tutkija Jori Grym, kirjailija Vehka Kurjenmiekka sekä mainosmies Jussi Turhala. Ville Talola juontaa.

"All fiat dies because it's a trusted token that governments can arbitrarily change. Every fiat with every single powerful military behind it fell when the entity decided that they were just going to change the rules. And the military didn't protect them, the military protected them abusing the rules from the population.Argentina's military did not protect the Argentine population from hyperinflation. It protected the government from a revolution. The Venezuelan, the Zimbabwean, the huge list of fiat hyperinflations, the military was not your friend. It did not back the currency. It protected the government of their ability to defraud the population and eviscerate everyone's life savings, eviscerate their paychecks, and make the entire country poor to keep the elite rich." ~ Guy Swann Bitcoin isn't part of the crypto casino—it's something entirely different. In this conversation with Rajat Soni, we break down why Bitcoin operates more like language than a speculative asset and why trusted money inevitably falls apart. We explore the network effects that will keep more dollars chasing Bitcoin forever, the myth that the dollar is backed by military power, and why Bitcoin's constant bid will bring long-term stability. We also get into why altcoins can't survive as global money, how the entire stock market has turned into a gambling machine, and the harsh reality of the U.S. government's financial position. But beyond all of this, what is the most important downstream effect of Bitcoin? We dive into it all.
