Dans l'émission d'aujourd'hui, Florent reçoit son ami et ancien médecin traitant, Jean-Pierre. Fort de son expérience dans le milieu de la santé et partageant la foi de Florent, il apporte un double regard précieux sur notre sujet éthique du jour. En nous appuyant sur les valeurs bibliques de la famille, du mariage et des responsabilités qui en découlent, ils s'intéressent à la question: qu'implique réellement le fait de laisser partir un proche en maison de retraite ou de le confier à des tiers ?

N'avez-vous jamais mis en contraste le témoignage de conversion d'un homme ayant longtemps vécu contre Dieu avec celui d'un enfant élevé dans la foi chrétienne? Comparé leur transformations de vies? C'est une question qui mêle une recherche de crédibilité et une incertitude de notre foi, plutôt d'ordre intellectuelle. Vous découvrirez à travers la réponse de Florent, qui se placerait dans la première catégorie, quelques éléments susceptibles de renverser ce point de vue.

Mucha magia potagia, pero el papa no es Rosalía. Aznar no, nunca guarda duelo. Fue subirse Prevost al avión y retumbar los disparos: queda solemnemente reinaugurada la cacería. Feijóo y la Ayusina me aúllan devorando el cadáver insepulto ¿de Abascal?, ¡no, de El Guapo! Para Génova, España es la caldera ardiente de la M-30: guardiaciviles ajustando cuentas. Pero para el Santo Padre Madrid fue un mero trámite de secano, el aperitivo de Barcelona y de Arguineguín. El Sumo Pontífice six-seven afinó exterminando las tinieblas con el hechizo Disney, el sortilegio místico, alquímico, olímpico de la Sagrada Familia, faro del Mediterráneo, torre de Jesucristo, 14 ministros agustinos y socialistas de última generación. Los campanarios catalanes celestiales tocan a sangre por la imposible salvación eterna de la capital del reino. El que pueda rezar, que rece. En el PPPV se echa de menos una democracia cristiana vaticana de tapas y sacristía. Juanfran Pérez Llorca —faena fuig— no, no es Paco Martínez Soria. Tampoco Mompó ni Catalá. El president es el destilado de Rita, el caloret y el Espíritu Santo del pare Camps. Juanfran, un president designado por Mazón —sí, Rovira “la izquierda con su campañita”— y los Rolex de Zaplana, el ángel de la guarda de Susana Camarero. El JuanFranquismo es el elenismo Borbón en estado puro: la Cosa Nostra, el macarrismo siciliano del tráfico de rosarios bendecidos. Mazón se desentendió. Dio la orden a los suyos de escampar. El barro arrastra a la cárcel la cabeza congelada de Salomé en bandeja de plata. Barcala torea a la jueza de Les Naus. La página de la izquierda. Todo bajo ningún control, sopa de siglas o Mónica Oltra. Pilar Bernabé resucita. Diana Morant ya ha vuelto del futuro. Ahora falta el pequeño detalle de que se quede a hacer la paella. Letizia, blanco nuclear republicano. Leonor y Sofía son Bad Bunny. Ja estem en Fogueres.

Le patriotisme est-il une valeur biblique ? C'est une question légitime pour le chrétien, souvent partagé entre sa citoyenneté céleste — que la Parole de Dieu place au premier plan — et son ancrage terrestre, marqué entre autres par l'exemple du patriotisme d'Israël. Florent s'appuiera sur l'Histoire afin de montrer comment la croix a bouleversé les valeurs des civilisations, de quoi redéfinir les priorités absolues du croyant.

Ce înseamnă NATO 3.0? - o discuție cu Robert Lupițu

Palatul Cotroceni a găzduit miercuri Summitul Formatului București 9 (B9) și al Țărilor Nordice, co-prezidat de președintele României, Nicușor Dan, și de președintele Poloniei, Karol Nawrocki. „Delivering More for Transatlantic Security” („Mai mult pentru securitatea transatlantică”) a fost tema întîlnirii. La finalul evenimentului s-a accentuat ideea colaborării strînse a aliaților cu SUA în cadrul NATO, s-a reiterat ideea că Federația Rusă este cea mai importantă amenințare la adresa Alianței Atlanticului de Nord şi ţările participante au convenit să susțină la summitul NATO de la Ankara, din iulie, conceptul NATO 3.0. Despre toate acestea am vorbit cu analistul de politică internațională Robert Lupițu, redactor-șef al platformei „Calea europeană”.La finalul summitului B9 și Țările Nordice s-a insistat pe ideea că Federația Rusă este cea mai importantă amenințare la adresa alianței. Ce rol are acest tip de declarație?Robert Lupițu: „Sigur, par cuvinte aruncate pe un document, însă dacă ne-am găsi în situația, puțin probabilă, ca la un summit aliat ulterior să nu mai vedem Rusia încadrată astfel, de fapt atunci ne-am da seama ce înseamnă a continua să numești Rusia o amenințare, pentru că în primul rînd este. Ea poate fi diluată în percepția publică pentru că tot timpul vedem lideri politici și documente oficiale care spun că Rusia este o amenințare, dar dacă cumva nu am mai spune asta, atunci cineva ar putea deduce că nu mai este. Şi nu este cazul, pentru că vedem instrumentarul de război clasic militar pe care îl poartă împotriva Ucrainei și de război hibrid cognitiv pe care îl poartă împotriva societăților sau infrastructurilor noastre.”Țările participante la summitul B9 și Țările Nordice au convenit să susțină la summitul NATO de la Ankara, din iulie, conceptul NATO 3.0. Despre ce este vorba?Robert Lupițu: „În momentul în care am încheiat relatările de la summitul de ieri, am mers pe formula că NATO 3.0 a intrat în dispozitivul strategic al alianţei la București – folosind o terminologie militar-geopolitică. Conceptul NATO 3.0 a luat naștere în luna februarie la reuniunea miniştrilor apărării din NATO de la Bruxelles, cînd Statele Unite au fost reprezentate de subsecretarul de stat al Pentagonului, al departamentului de război sau al apărării, Elbridge Colby, care este supranumit și artizanul strategiei naționale de apărare. Acolo el a prezentat conceptul de NATO 3.0. Practic, el a împărțit NATO în trei perioade. Perioada de NATO 1.0 care a existat de la momentul înființării, din 1949, pînă la finalul Războiului Rece. Conceptul de NATO 2.0 și anume redefinirea Alianţei și tot ce a urmat cu extinderile ulterioare. Şi NATO 3.0, în care ne-am afla acum sau urmează să ne aflăm, care se referă la faptul că Uniunea Europeană și Europa per ansamblu, aliații europeni trebuie să fie în măsură să asigure securitatea convențională a continentului, adică acea securitate specifică apărării convenționale de tip terestru, aerian și maritim, în timp ce Statele Unite vor rămîne implicate inclusiv din perspectivă neconvențională, adică descurajare strategică nucleară. Aceea a fost propunerea de la acel moment a Statelor Unite, care acum este preluată de către aliații de pe flancul estic, urmînd să fie propusă pentru summit-ul NATO de la Ankara.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon Se il primo Hades è l'esempio di come si dovrebbe fare un roguelike, Hades 2 è il ritratto di come si dovrebbe fare un sequel. Avrebbero potuto tranquillamente fare il compitino per casa e sbatterci sopra un cartellino "30€", avrebbe venduto le madonne ugualmente. Invece Supergiant ha preso una formula di gameplay che funzionava da dio, l'ha ampliata e l'ha resa ancora più figa e divertente. Roba che funziona anche e soprattutto perché dietro ci hanno scritto una storia e dei personaggi che non ti fanno pesare di schiattare a tre colpi dalla fine di una run, perché ogni partita ti serve per raccattare robe, scoprire rapporti e districare storie. In un modo talmente leggero ma accurato che chiunque voglia raccontare la mitologia dovrebbe prendere appunti, visto che ci imparati più sulla storia greca con due partite su Hades che in tre capitoli di God of War. E a proposito di storie, nonostante si prenda molto più sul serio di quanto non facesse Zagreus, Hades 2 riesce a parlarti di drammi familiari e personali in modo solenne, ma così leggero da non lasciarti mai troppo con l'amaro in bocca. Giusto un po', ma perché non avrebbe lo stesso sapore altrimenti. Hades 2 funziona di cristo perché hanno saputo ampliare senza storpiare, aggiungendo dove c'era da arricchire ma senza ingolfare. E anche se giocando hai una mezza sensazione di smarrimento ci pensano Melinoe e i suoi compagni a darti due dritte. È un gioco che ti sbatte in faccia che vuole farti "ammazzare il Tempo", invece te lo consuma. E lo fa senza farti pentire per più di mezzo secondo.

Noua doctrină nucleară franceză: cine o salută și cine nu (prea)

Președintele francez Emmanuel Macron a vorbit luni despre o cooperare sporită cu națiunile europene în domeniul nuclear. El a menționat Germania, Polonia, Grecia, Olanda, Belgia, Danemarca și Suedia. Cooperarea ar include exerciții nucleare comune și, în cele din urmă, potențiala desfășurare temporară de avioane de vânătoare franceze cu capacitate nucleară în țările aliate. Mișcarea a fost salutată de potențialii aliați, dar nu chiar toată lumea este încântată...  Este cea mai mare schimbare nucleară europeană de la Războiul Rece încoace, consideră Politico. Președintele francez a indicat amenințările din partea Rusiei și Chinei, precum și schimbarea priorităților de apărare ale SUA drept motive pentru dezvoltarea armelor atomice. Mai mulți lideri europeni au reacționat pozitiv. Cancelarul german Friedrich Merz și-a exprimat aprobarea, confirmând pe rețeaua de socializare X „măsuri concrete înainte de sfârșitul acestui an”. Polonia, la rândul său, „se află în discuții cu Franța și un grup de aliați europeni apropiați cu privire la programul avansat de descurajare nucleară”, a declarat la rândul său premierul Donald Tusk. „Ne înarmăm împreună cu prietenii noștri, astfel încât dușmanii noștri să nu îndrăznească niciodată să ne atace”, a adăugat el. Premierul suedez Ulf Kristersson consideră că inițiativa franceză poate „contribui la consolidarea capacităților colective ale Europei”, care „de la cel de-al Doilea Război Mondial […] nu au fost niciodată mai importante”. Citeste siConflictul din Orientul Mijlociu: Franţa trimite portavionul „Charles-de-Gaulle” în Mediterană Premierul suedez a precizat însă, „că discuțiile vor avea loc «în consultare cu Statele Unite» și NATO.  Iar un purtător de cuvânt al NATO a salutat evoluțiile în domeniul descurajării nucleare franceze și a precizat pentru AFP că se așteaptă cu nerăbdare o cooperare îmbunătățită cu Parisul pe această temă. Danemarca, țară care „a încheiat un acord de cooperare cu Franța privind descurajarea nucleară”, a salutat inițiativa prin vocea prim-ministrului Mette Frederiksen, Aceasta va „complementa și în niciun caz nu va înlocui” angajamentele Danemarcei în cadrul NATO, a precizat ea. Totuși, „unele țări, precum Italia, par reticente în acest stadiu”, notează ziarul Le Parisien. Roma vede în această inițiativă o încercare a Franței de a-și impune poziția de lider în Europa”. Giorgia Meloni ”continuă să favorizeze umbrela de securitate americană”, mai observă ziarul. Și încă un detaliu punctat de Le Parisien: perspectiva alegerilor prezidențiale din 2027 ridică îngrijorări la Berlin că o Franță condusă de Reuniunea Națională (RN) ar putea într-o zi să se schimbe în această chestiune”.   Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

THE AUDACITY OF THE MARS COLONIZATION VISION Colleague Eric Berger. In September 2016, Elon Musk presented a vision in Guadalajara that sounded like science fiction: a plan to colonize Mars to prevent a potential extinction event. Despite a recent rocket explosion, Musk proposed a "grandiose architecture" involving massive reusable rockets designed to transport a million tons of supplies and thousands of people to build a self-sustaining civilization. While skeptics viewed the timeline as unrealistic, the plan relied on established physics and the production of methane fuel on Mars. Musk's ultimate goal for SpaceX remains clearly focused on making humanity multi-planetary. NUMBER 1 AUGUST 1953

3. The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality by Andy Clark, presents a groundbreaking theory that our minds are fundamentally "prediction machines" that actively forecast and shape reality, rather than merely passively receiving sensory information. Perception, Clark explains, is a dynamic interplay between the brain's internal expectations and incoming sensory input. This process is so powerful that strong predictions can even lead to "hallucinations," as demonstrated by the "White Christmas" experiment where participants confidently "heard" Bing Crosby's song in pure white noise when they expected it. Clark emphasizes a key physiological insight: information flowing from the brain "downward" towards the senses far outnumbers the sensory information flowing "inward" (a ratio of approximately 4:1). This suggests the brain primarily predicts what it expects to encounter at the sense organs, then adjusts its models based on any "prediction errors" that arise from actual sensory input. This active inference model means that our mind is constantly seeking to minimize these errors, not just by internal adjustments but also by taking actions in the world (e.g., moving for a better view, checking a dog's reaction) to confirm or correct its predictions. Our perceptions are thus deeply rooted in past experiences and project into the future, anticipating the outcomes of our actions. A significant implication of this predictive framework is the concept of the "extended mind," where our cognitive processes are not confined to the skull but extend to incorporate tools (like an iPhone) and even other beings (such as a pet dog like Sailor). The example of MIGO the orangutan using a stick to probe water depth illustrates how animals take actions to reduce uncertainty and error in achieving their goals, similar to how humans use the internet to find movie times. Clark applies this "prediction machine" model to understand various conditions: • Autism Spectrum Condition is characterized by an "overweighting" of sensory information relative to predictions, making it harder to discern faint patterns (like facial gestures) and causing noisy environments to be uncomfortable. • PTSD appears to involve a "very, very strong response to unexpected negative information," where certain brains are more susceptible to this intense reaction following traumatic events. • Depression, a complex condition, is linked to impaired bodily predictions (e.g., misjudging future energy needs) and a diminished "value of positive information," hindering one's ability to improve mood through positive expectations. The book also explores the integration of mind and body, asserting that internal bodily predictions (e.g., heart rate, energy levels) profoundly influence our external perceptions, a phenomenon shown by experiments where false cardiac feedback alters facial perception. Clark extends the notion of sentience beyond humans, arguing that it is widely shared among animals, including dogs, as they also bring predictions to bear on their experiences and learn from their histories. Emotions, rather than being separate brain circuits, are seen as "reflections of the bodily element of the prediction machine in action," acting as "markers" of how successfully the brain is minimizing prediction error. Ultimately, The Experience Machine suggests that by understanding the mind's active, predictive nature, we can better appreciate consciousness, address cognitive challenges, and harness the power of expectation (as seen in the placebo effect) to influence well-being, albeit with clear limits on curing major diseases.
