La Renaissance, ce renouveau artistique, intellectuel et scientifique qui transforma l'Europe à partir du XVe siècle, ne naquit pas par hasard à Florence. Cette cité toscane réunissait alors des conditions politiques, économiques et culturelles uniques qui en firent le berceau d'un mouvement sans équivalent dans l'histoire occidentale.D'abord, Florence était une république riche et indépendante. Sa prospérité reposait sur le commerce et surtout sur la banque. La puissante famille Médicis, à la tête d'un empire financier, finançait non seulement les États d'Europe, mais aussi les artistes, les architectes et les penseurs. Cosme de Médicis puis Laurent le Magnifique comprirent que la gloire artistique pouvait servir la gloire politique. En soutenant des figures comme Botticelli, Léonard de Vinci ou Michel-Ange, ils firent de Florence une vitrine éclatante de leur influence et un centre culturel de premier plan.La structure politique de la cité joua aussi un rôle majeur. Florence n'était pas une monarchie mais une république oligarchique, où la liberté de pensée et le débat intellectuel avaient plus de place qu'ailleurs. Les humanistes florentins, inspirés par la redécouverte des textes grecs et latins, replacèrent l'homme au centre de la réflexion — une rupture avec la vision médiévale dominée par la religion. Des penseurs comme Marsile Ficin ou Pic de la Mirandole défendirent l'idée d'un être humain libre, doué de raison et capable de s'élever par le savoir.Florence bénéficiait aussi d'un héritage artistique exceptionnel. La proximité avec les ruines romaines, la maîtrise artisanale des ateliers et la tradition gothique italienne fournirent une base solide à l'innovation. Les artistes florentins expérimentèrent de nouvelles techniques : la perspective, la peinture à l'huile, l'étude du corps humain. Brunelleschi révolutionna l'architecture avec la coupole de Santa Maria del Fiore, symbole éclatant du génie florentin.Enfin, la concurrence entre les cités italiennes – Venise, Milan, Rome – stimula l'émulation. Chaque ville voulait attirer les meilleurs artistes pour affirmer sa puissance. Mais Florence garda une avance intellectuelle : elle ne se contenta pas de produire des œuvres, elle inventa une nouvelle manière de penser l'art et le savoir.Ainsi, la Renaissance florentine fut bien plus qu'une explosion de beauté : elle fut le fruit d'une société ouverte, prospère et avide de connaissance, où l'art devint le miroir d'une nouvelle idée de l'homme et du monde.

C dans l'air du 12 novembre 2025 : Réforme des retraites: la suspension passe...à quel prix?C'est le grand jour pour la réforme des retraites. Sa suspension a été débattue ce mercredi à l'Assemblée nationale, lors de la réouverture des discussions sur le projet de loi de financement de la Sécurité sociale. Mesure clé, elle conditionne la non-censure du gouvernement Lecornu par les socialistes, qui proposent de financer cette suspension par une hausse de la CSG sur les revenus du capital. Les échanges s'annonçaient houleux à gauche, et certains s'attendaient à un scrutin bien plus serré que prévu.Les députés du Rassemblement national ont approuvé la suspension. Leurs représentants avaient déjà voté en ce sens lors du débat en commission des affaires sociales, où la mesure a été adoptée par 22 voix contre 12. Le groupe socialiste a également voter pour, tout comme le groupe Libertés, indépendants, outre-mer et territoires (Liot), considéré comme l'électron libre du Parlement. « Liot était l'auteur de la motion de censure contre la réforme Borne en 2023 », a rappelé Harold Huwart, député d'Eure-et-Loir. Une motion rejetée à l'époque à neuf voix près.Les députés de La France insoumise, eux, ont voté contre l'article 45 bis. Selon eux, la suspension de la réforme ne vaut pas abrogation. Les écologistes et les communistes, longtemps indécis entre un vote contre et l'abstention, se sont réunis en fin de matinée et en début d'après-midi pour trancher.Les Républicains, qui avaient soutenu la réforme d'Élisabeth Borne et prévu dans leur programme présidentiel un recul de l'âge légal de départ à la retraite, ont voté contre la suspension.Même position du côté d'Horizons, malgré la présence de plusieurs ministres du parti au sein du gouvernement Lecornu.Le MoDem de François Bayrou a annoncé qu'il s'orientait « majoritairement vers l'abstention », tout comme les députés Renaissance.Le chef de file des députés Renaissance, Gabriel Attal, a d'ailleurs appelé ses troupes à s'abstenir, afin de ne pas compromettre le compromis avec le Parti socialiste.Dans le même temps, il plaide pour une « révolution » d'ici 2027, proposant de verser 1 000 euros à chaque enfant dès sa naissance pour anticiper sa retraite — une mesure dont le coût est estimé à 660 millions d'euros par an.« Très concrètement, on veut développer la capitalisation en France. Cela passe par un développement des plans d'épargne retraite, par un fléchage de l'intéressement et de la participation des entreprises vers ces plans, et par cette nouvelle mesure », a expliqué l'ancien Premier ministre. Il nous a accordé une longue interview diffusée dans le #danslair du jour.Pendant ce temps, outre-Atlantique, Donald Trump a de nouveau provoqué la polémique. Lors d'un échange houleux avec une journaliste de Fox News, lundi 10 novembre, l'ancien président américain a critiqué la France, estimant qu'elle « ne vaut pas mieux » que la Chine.« On a eu beaucoup de problèmes avec les Français. Nos technologies ont été taxées de manière très injuste. Ils ont mis 25 % de taxes sur les produits américains », a-t-il insisté, en référence au doublement de la taxe Gafam voté en octobre dernier par les députés de l'Assemblée nationale.Nos experts : - Jérôme JAFFRÉ - Politologue - Chercheur associé au CEVIPOF- Lucie ROBEQUAIN - Directrice de la rédaction - La Tribune et La Tribune Dimanche- Pauline DE SAINT-REMY - Directrice adjointe de la rédaction de Politico- Christophe JAKUBYSZYN - Directeur des rédactions des Echos

Leo Fong was a true Renaissance man — a martial arts Grand Master, filmmaker, and Methodist minister who turned life's challenges into fuel for creativity. Born in 1930s Arkansas, Leo faced racial discrimination early, leading him to boxing and later martial arts as a way to build confidence and strength. His journey took him from judo dojos and kung fu studios in San Francisco to becoming a close friend and sparring partner of Bruce Lee. Their friendship shaped his lifelong philosophy that “the ultimate is inside of you,” inspiring Leo to develop his own fighting style that fused boxing precision with kung fu adaptability. His passion for martial arts soon crossed into cinema when a producer invited him to star in Murder in the Orient, launching a decades-long career in independent action filmmaking.From Kill Point and Low Blow to Blood Street, Leo not only acted but also wrote and produced his films, often on shoestring budgets and with his own hands-on ingenuity. He directed scenes using hamburger meat-filled props, bought junkyard cars for $125, and learned filmmaking by doing — one movie at a time. His films, though low-budget, carried immense heart and authenticity, earning cult followings and international success. Beyond the punches and kicks, Leo's story is about humility, integrity, and community — lessons he carried from the dojo to the film set. As he said near the end of his career, “We're all family in the martial arts. Better to make friends than enemies — and always have fun while you're at it.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

It is common to define Europe by its democratic, scientific, religious, and cultural traditions. But in What is European? On Overcoming Colonial and Romantic Modes of Thought (Amsterdam UP, 2025), Dag Nikolaus Hasse argues that the search for Europe's essence has taken a troubling turn. He shows that many traditional ideas about Europe are culturally one-sided and historically and geographically distorted, and calls for a decolonisation and deromanticisation of the discourse on Europe. The book promotes an inclusive vision of Europe that reflects its long history of multiethnic cities, offers a cultural home to a wider range of people across the continent, and extends attention and respect to other continents, thus laying a more respectful foundation for shaping the future together.At the same time, Hasse demonstrates that overcoming colonial ways of thinking does not and should not result in anti-Europeanism. Criticising European arrogance may well go hand in hand with feeling culturally at home in other traditions of Europe. For this, it does not matter whether one is a resident of the European continent or not. There is no privileged access to European culture or to the culture of any other continent. Dag Nikolaus Hasse is professor of the history of philosophy at the University of Würzburg. Among his numerous publications, two monographs stand out: Avicenna's De Anima in the Latin West (2000), and Success and Suppression: Arabic Sciences and Philosophy in the Renaissance (2016). In 2016, Hasse was awarded the prestigious Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, the highest disctinction for a scientist in Germany. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

The gas turbine industry has staged one of the most dramatic comebacks in recent years, fueled by artificial intelligence's insatiable appetite for power. In this episode, host Eklavya Gupte sits down with Javier Cavada, president and CEO for EMEA at Mitsubishi Power, to examine how AI's demand for 24/7 power has created multi-year waiting times for new gas turbines. The conversation explores the far-reaching implications of this boom: tech giants are building dedicated gas-fired plants for data centers, developing nations face turbine shortages, and manufacturers struggle to meet unprecedented demand. Cavada reveals that his company is already discussing projects for 2031-2032, highlighting the unprecedented scale of current demand.

Art Historian Eleanor Walker joins us this episode to discuss the life and patronage of Isabella d'Este, Marchioness of Mantua. Isabella perfectly bridges the northern courts of Este Ferrara and Gonzaga Mantua, serving as the pivotal figure who united the two courts.Eleanor Walker introduces us to the life and vibrant personality of this Renaissance giant, looking at the scope and limitations of women in power in the northern courts. Then we turn to her patronage, diving deep into her portrait by Titian and a copy of another Titian portrait of Isabella by the Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens. Works Discussed: Titian, Isabella in Black, ca. 1536 https://www.khm.at/kunstwerke/isabella-d-este-markgraefin-von-mantua-1474-1539-1940Peter Paul Rubes, Isabella in Red (copied after Titian), ca. 1605 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_in_Red_(Rubens)Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastJennifer Samit and Eleanor Walker, Women Artists in Their own Words: https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947235Jill Burke, How to Be a Renaissance Woman, https://www.amazon.it/How-Renaissance-Woman-Jill-Burke/dp/1788166663/ref=asc_df_1788166663?mcid=84574746f829322698bfc93eb94e80af&tag=googshopit-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=700814440216&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11473624181355666976&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9199215&hvtargid=pla-1888711395289&psc=1&hvocijid=11473624181355666976-1788166663-&hvexpln=0Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

57 minutes of sharp, fast, freaky techno from the underground pop star. Long before SoundCloud made him famous, RJ Glasgow was already producing edits from his bedroom in Philadelphia. The artist now known as LSDXOXO spliced R&B classics with DMX Krew and Madonna, then graduated from bedroom producer to internet provocateur with his 2010 mix series Spit or Swallow, where La Roux met Ratatat and Rihanna collided with Crystal Castles. A decade later, that same DIY energy has taken him far beyond the online underground. Now based in Berlin, Glasgow has opened for Beyoncé on her Renaissance tour, remixed Kelela, Lady Gaga and Björk, and taken his Floorgasm party worldwide. His RA Mix captures that evolution in full flight. Across 57 minutes and 26 tracks, RA.1012 tears through shades of contemporary techno—from big-room precision (Adam Beyer) to looping hardgroove (Italia 90, River Moon) and razor-sharp edits (EsDeeKid & Fakemink). “Maybe my music invokes that freaky feeling,” he told Resident Advisor in 2022. “A lot of people have that inner freak.” That spirit still drives him today—sensual, chaotic, unapologetic—and reminds us that wherever he plays, LSDXOXO will always be a club kid.

2. The Islamic World's Scientific Contributions and Mars in Medieval Thought. Matthew Shindell highlights an intellectual renaissance in the Islamic world—specifically Baghdad and Damascus—between the 10th and 16th centuries, which was vital while Europe was experiencing its "Dark Ages." Through translation and original work, Islamic scholars built upon ancient knowledge, fueling a great intellectual transformation. In the medieval period, Mars was widely associated with vices like war, violence, and disaster. However, the renowned poet Dante Alighieri, in The Divine Comedy, transformed this negative association into the virtue of fortitude. Since Dante was charting a path through the heavens, where all planets had to represent virtues, Mars was designated as the sphere housing martyrs and those who died in holy war, becoming a highly important symbol for Christian Europe. 1962

Au XVIᵉ siècle, la langue française connaît une véritable explosion de créativité. Et l'un de ses plus grands architectes s'appelle François Rabelais. Médecin, humaniste, moine défroqué et écrivain, Rabelais est l'auteur des célèbres Gargantua et Pantagruel, œuvres truculentes où se mêlent satire, érudition et fantaisie. Mais il est aussi un inventeur de mots hors pair : on estime qu'il aurait créé ou popularisé plus de 800 mots français, dont certains sont encore en usage aujourd'hui.Rabelais faisait partie de cette génération d'humanistes qui, à la Renaissance, voulaient enrichir la langue française pour la hisser au niveau du latin et du grec. Son imagination linguistique servait autant la science que la comédie. Il puisait dans le latin (frugalité, hilarité), le grec (utopie, antiques), mais aussi dans des jeux de mots et inventions pures. Ainsi, il est à l'origine ou à l'origine probable de termes comme “pantagruélique” (démesuré, joyeusement excessif), “gargantuesque” (gigantesque, généreux), “dyspepsie”, “épithète”, ou encore “progression”.Ses créations ne relevaient pas du simple caprice : elles accompagnaient une vision du monde où la langue devait refléter l'abondance du savoir et de la vie. Son style foisonnant, parfois scatologique, associait un vocabulaire érudit à un humour populaire. En mélangeant les registres, Rabelais a donné au français une souplesse et une inventivité nouvelles, ouvrant la voie à des auteurs comme Molière ou Voltaire.Mais la richesse du français ne vient pas seulement de ses mots : elle réside aussi dans ses formes littéraires. Le mot “roman”, par exemple, est lui-même un héritage médiéval fascinant. À l'origine, vers le XIᵉ siècle, romanz désignait simplement la langue romane, c'est-à-dire le vieux français parlé par le peuple, par opposition au latin, réservé à l'Église et aux érudits.Les premiers “romanz” étaient donc des textes écrits en français pour être compris de tous : récits de chevaliers, contes et chansons de geste. Peu à peu, le terme a glissé du langage au genre : un “roman” n'était plus seulement une œuvre en langue vulgaire, mais une fiction narrative en prose.Ainsi, du romanz médiéval au roman moderne, et de Rabelais à nos écrivains contemporains, la langue française s'est construite par invention, audace et plaisir du mot. Entre néologismes savants et détournements populaires, elle reste, comme chez Rabelais, une fête de l'esprit et de la liberté. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston, US, has agreed to return two works from 1857 by the enslaved 19th-century potter David Drake to his present-day descendants. By the terms of the contract, one vessel will remain on loan to the museum for at least two years. The other—known as the “Poem Jar”—has been purchased back by the museum from the heirs for an undisclosed sum and now comes with “a certificate of ethical ownership”. Ben Luke talks to Ethan Lasser, the MFA's chair of the art of Americas, about this landmark agreement. At the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the exhibition Wifredo Lam: When I Don't Sleep, I Dream opens on Monday. Lam, who was of African and Chinese descent, is now widely regarded as a key, and singular, figure in Modernist painting. Connected in his long life to the Surrealists and Pablo Picasso, and to literary greats including Aimé Césaire and Edouard Glissant, his distinctive practice was above all centred on a profound engagement with Black diasporic culture. Ben talks to the two lead curators of the exhibition, Beverly Adams, curator of Latin American Art at MoMA, and the museum's new director, Christophe Cherix. And this episode's Work of the Week is the Adoration of the Magi (1488) by Domenico Ghirlandaio. The painting is in the Ospedale degli Innocenti, the first hospital for unwanted or orphaned infants, or foundlings, in Europe, built by the great Renaissance architect, Filippo Brunelleschi. The Innocenti, as it is called, is the subject of a new book, called The Innocents of Florence: The Renaissance Discovery of Childhood, by Joseph Luzzi, and Ben speaks to him about the painting and its significance in the Innocenti's collection.Wifredo Lam, Museum of Modern Art, New York, 10 November-11 April 2026.The Innocents of Florence: The Renaissance Discovery of Childhood, published in hardback by WW Norton, from 11 November in the US, priced $29.99, and from 28 November in the UK, priced £23.New subscription offer: eight-week free digital trial of The Art Newspaper.

 In part one of a three-part mini-series on the theme of "university", we go on a whirlwind tour of the history of universities, from medieval student guilds in Bologna to the modern day.  The University of Bologna nears its thousand-year anniversary. Why universities emerged: stability, trade, rediscovered texts, Church needs. Student guilds hired teachers; papal charters granted privileges, recognition. Medieval curriculum and university specialisations in law, theology, medicine. Renaissance humanism broadened studies beyond law and theology. Scientific Revolution made universities producers of new knowledge. Humboldt model united teaching and research in modern universities. Post-war expansion massified higher education around the world. Today: many universities, 250 million students; degrees often required. UK participation reaches 50%; rising costs and student debt.

Transcript:Da: En kølig efterårsdag blæste vinden gennem gaderne på Bornholm, og bladene dansede i gyldne nuancer langs fortovet.En: On a cool autumn day, the wind blew through the streets of Bornholm, and the leaves danced in golden hues along the sidewalk.Da: Plantation Café var fyldt med duften af kanel og friskbagt brød.En: Plantation Café was filled with the scent of cinnamon and freshly baked bread.Da: Indenfor sad Freja ved et rundt bord med et stort papirark spredt ud foran sig.En: Inside, Freja sat at a round table with a large sheet of paper spread out in front of her.Da: Hun havde en vision for dette sted.En: She had a vision for this place.Da: Hendes drøm var at give caféen nyt liv uden at miste dens sjæl.En: Her dream was to give the café new life without losing its soul.Da: Lars, ejeren af caféen, satte sig tungt ned ved siden af hende.En: Lars, the owner of the café, sat down heavily beside her.Da: "Freja," sagde han, "jeg ved ikke, om vi har råd til meget forandring.En: "Freja," he said, "I don't know if we can afford much change.Da: Folk her er vant til det, som det er."En: People here are used to the way it is."Da: Freja nikkede forstående.En: Freja

In every era, the people face a defining question: Will they build a future worthy of free people or slip into the managed decline of debt, speculation and cultural decay? The answer turns not on temporary political moods but on the system of political economy a nation chooses as its operating philosophy. There are two competing systems in modern history. One system treats money as the measure of value, markets as the arbiter of destiny and society as an arena of consumption, competition and extraction. Under this system, banks and asset values are placed above labor and production. Financial engineering replaces physical engineering, and speculative gains masquerade as economic growth. This is the monetarist system. The other system measures value not in money but in the productive powers of labor. It treats human creativity as the source of wealth, public credit as a tool of national purpose and infrastructure as the foundation for rising living standards. Under this system, progress is defined by increasing productive output, rising real wages, expanding scientific capabilities and improved conditions of life for each generation. This is the credit system, also known as the productive economy. Every great advance in American development came from the credit system. Every major period of decline followed a retreat into monetarism. The United States now stands at a decisive moment. Decades of financialization, offshoring, infrastructure neglect and cultural fragmentation have hollowed out the economic and civic foundations of the republic. We must again choose the system that builds nations, not the one that extracts from them. This is a call not only for economic reform, but for civic renewal. It is the blueprint for a National Credit and Productive Investment Era—a return to building a high-wage, high-energy, high-technology republic.

(Spoiler Section Length - 2min 14sec)Many films from the 2000s are blamed for 'killing' 2D animation in the west (at least for movies), such as Disney's Treasure Planet or Dreamworks' Sinbad. But at least for a few years, only one film had the ignominious honor of being the final 2D Disney film: Home on the Range. While Treasure Planet and Sinbad have their fans, Home on the Range not only doesn't seem to have any, but in fact seems to be one of the least remembered animated films Disney ever put out, especially since the Renaissance. Does it deserve to be forgotten, or is this a hidden gem?

Friends of the Rosary,Today, November 4th, the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Charles Borromeo (1538-1584), bishop.Charles Borromeo, the bishop of Milan, came from a wealthy, aristocratic Italian family. He lived a lavish life, emulating the lifestyles of the rich and famous of the Renaissance in the sixteenth century. His maternal uncle, from the powerful Medici family, was the pope, who would later make him a cardinal-deacon at the age of twenty-three.When Count Frederick Borromeo passed away, many people thought that Charles, who became the head of the Borromeo family, would give up his clerical life and marry now that he had inherited the title. But he did not. He became a priest.In 1570, a famine erupted, and Charles Borromeo took the lead, bringing food to feed three thousand people a day for three months. Six years later, a two-year plague swept through the region. Borromeo mobilized priests, religious, and lay volunteers to feed and care for the 60,000 to 70,000 people.During the plague, he walked barefoot in the public streets, carrying a cross, with a rope around his neck, offering himself as a victim to God for the transgressions of his people.He personally cared for many who were sick and dying. In the process, Borromeo incurred huge debts, depleting his resources to feed, clothe, administer medical care, and build shelters for thousands of plague-stricken people.As if the natural disasters facing Borromeo were not enough, a disgruntled priest attempted to assassinate him. As Charles knelt in prayer before the altar, the would-be assassin pulled a gun and shot him. At first, Charles thought he was dying, but the bullet only bruised him.He died, dressed in sackcloth and ashes, holding a picture of Jesus Crucified in his hands.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Cryptogaucho to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, crypto, and Argentina's emerging role as a new frontier for innovation and governance. The conversation ranges from OpenAI's partnership with Sur Energy and the Stargate project to Argentina's RIGI investment framework, Milei's libertarian reforms, and the potential of space-based data centers and new jurisdictions beyond Earth. Cryptogaucho also reflects on Argentina's tech renaissance, its culture of resilience born from hyperinflation, and the rise of experimental communities like Prospera and Noma Collective. Follow him on X at @CryptoGaucho.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop opens with Cryptogaucho from Mendoza, talking about Argentina, AI, crypto, and the energy around new projects like Sur Energy and Satellogic.05:00 – They dive into Argentina's growing space ambitions, spaceport plans, and how jurisdiction could extend “upward” through satellites and data sovereignty.10:00 – The talk shifts to global regulation, bureaucracy, and why Argentina's uncertainty may become its strength amid red tape in the US and China.15:00 – Discussion of OpenAI's Stargate project, AI infrastructure in Patagonia, and the geopolitical tension between state and private innovation.20:00 – Cryptogaucho explains the “cepo” currency controls, the black market for dollars, and crypto's role in preserving economic freedom.25:00 – They unpack RIGI investment incentives, Argentina's new economic rules, and efforts to attract major projects like data centers and nuclear reactors.30:00 – Stewart connects hyperinflation to resilience and abundance in the AI era, while Cryptogaucho reflects on chaos, adaptability, and optimism.35:00 – The conversation turns philosophical: nation-states, community networks, Prospera, and the rise of new governance models.40:00 – They explore Argentina's global position, soft power, and its role as a frontier of Western ideals.45:00 – Final reflections on AI in space, data centers beyond Earth, and freedom of information as humanity's next jurisdiction.Key InsightsArgentina as a new technological frontier: The episode positions Argentina as a nation uniquely situated between chaos and opportunity—a place where political uncertainty and flexible regulation create fertile ground for experimentation. Stewart Alsop and Cryptogaucho argue that this openness, combined with a culture forged in crisis, allows Argentina to become a testing ground for new models of governance, technology, and sovereignty.The convergence of AI, energy, and geography: OpenAI's deal with Sur Energy and plans for a data center in Patagonia signal how Argentina's geography and resources are becoming integral to the global AI infrastructure. Cryptogaucho highlights the symbolic and strategic power of Argentina serving as a “southern node” for the intelligence economy.Economic reinvention through RIGI: The RIGI framework offers tax and regulatory advantages to major investors, marking a turning point in Argentina's attempt to attract stable, high-value industries such as server farms, mining, and biotech. It represents a pragmatic balance between libertarian reform and national development.Crypto and currency freedom: Cryptogaucho recounts how Argentina's crypto community arose from necessity during hyperinflation and currency controls. Bitcoin and stablecoins became lifelines for developers and entrepreneurs locked out of traditional banking systems, teaching the world about decentralized resilience.AI abundance and human adaptation: The discussion draws parallels between hyperinflation's unpredictability and the overwhelming speed of AI progress. Stewart suggests that Argentina's social adaptability, born from scarcity and instability, may prepare its citizens for a future defined by abundance and rapid technological flux.Network states and new governance: The conversation explores Prospera, Noma Collective, and the idea of city-scale governance networks. These experiments, blending blockchain, law, and community, are seen as prototypes for post-nation-state organization—where trust and culture matter more than geography.Space as the next jurisdiction: The episode ends with an exploration of space as a new legal and economic domain. Satellites, data centers, and orbital communication networks could redefine sovereignty, creating “data islands” beyond Earth where information flows freely under new kinds of governance—a vision of humanity's next frontier.

In today's episode, we embark on a journey through the mystical and symbolic world of Tarot with Julia Gordon-Bramer, a seasoned Tarot reader with over 45 years of experience. From the moment she walked into a magic shop as a teenager, she was drawn to the Tarot, a tool that would guide her and countless others through life's complex paths. Julia Gordon-Bramer shares her deep understanding of the Tarot, explaining its origins, evolution, and how it has become a powerful tool for personal growth and spiritual insight.The Tarot, as Julia explains, is not just a deck of cards but a mirror to the soul, reflecting our inner world and the external forces that shape our lives. "The magic of the Tarot," Julia says, "is how the right cards fall at the right time with these specific questions." She emphasizes that Tarot shows you the path you are on and offers the opportunity to change direction if you don't like what you see ahead.Throughout the conversation, Julia dives into the rich history of Tarot, tracing its roots back to the Renaissance and beyond. While some view Tarot as a mystical or even forbidden practice, Julia demystifies it, showing how it is deeply connected to various spiritual traditions, including the Kabbalah and ancient numerology.She also touches on the misconceptions people have about Tarot, particularly the unfounded fear that it is somehow connected to dark forces. "I am totally not satanic," she laughs, dismissing the myths with her down-to-earth wisdom.Julia's approach to Tarot is both practical and spiritual. She believes that everyone has some degree of psychic ability, a "gut feeling" or intuition that can be developed with practice. For her, the Tarot is a tool that helps to unlock this intuition, offering guidance and clarity in a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain. "Tarot tells the story of the human experience," Julia explains, "and reflects where we're going, our ideas, our hopes, and our dreams."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Story Transcript:It: Nel cuore pulsante di Firenze, durante l'autunno del Rinascimento, il mercato era un tripudio di colori, profumi e suoni.En: In the heart of Firenze, during the autumn of the Renaissance, the market was a riot of colors, scents, and sounds.It: Tra le bancarelle ornate di stoffe variopinte e frutta fresca, si avvertiva l'odore invitante delle castagne arrostite mescolarsi con la fragranza pungente delle spezie.En: Among the stalls adorned with colorful fabrics and fresh fruit, the inviting smell of roasted chestnuts mingled with the pungent aroma of spices.It: Il chiacchiericcio dei mercanti riempiva l'aria, mentre il sole autunnale gettava una luce dorata sulle foglie che danzavano nell'aria.En: The chatter of the merchants filled the air, while the autumn sun cast a golden light on the leaves that danced in the air.It: Lorenzo, un giovane artigiano determinato, si aggirava tra la folla in cerca di ispirazione.En: Lorenzo, a determined young artisan, wandered through the crowd in search of inspiration.It: La sua mente era un turbinio di idee e dubbi.En: His mind was a whirlwind of ideas and doubts.It: Desiderava creare un'opera d'arte che avrebbe consacrato il suo nome, ma il timore del fallimento lo frenava.En: He longed to create a work of art that would consecrate his name, but the fear of failure held him back.It: Nel frattempo, Giulia, figlia di un ricco mercante, esaminava con grande attenzione un arazzo ornato.En: Meanwhile, Giulia, daughter of a wealthy merchant, was carefully examining an ornate tapestry.It: La sua passione per l'arte era chiara come il sole, ma il desiderio di dimostrare il proprio valore al di là degli affari di famiglia era ancora più forte.En: Her passion for art was as clear as the sun, but the desire to prove her worth beyond her family's business was even stronger.It: Mentre Lorenzo si avvicinava alla bancarella, notò Giulia intenta a discutere il prezzo con il venditore.En: As Lorenzo approached the stall, he noticed Giulia intent on negotiating the price with the seller.It: I loro occhi s'incontrarono, e un tacito accordo passò tra di loro.En: Their eyes met, and a silent agreement passed between them.It: Entrambi volevano lo stesso arazzo.En: They both wanted the same tapestry.It: Con un sorriso accattivante, Lorenzo iniziò a contrattare anche lui.En: With a charming smile, Lorenzo began to negotiate as well.It: "Credo che questo arazzo starebbe benissimo nel mio studio" dichiarò Lorenzo con tono sicuro, nonostante i suoi dubbi interiori.En: "I believe this tapestry would look great in my studio," declared Lorenzo confidently, despite his inner doubts.It: Giulia lo guardò seria, ma con un lampo di curiosità nei suoi occhi.En: Giulia looked at him seriously, but with a flash of curiosity in her eyes.It: "E io penso che completerebbe alla perfezione la mia collezione personale," rispose, sfidandolo.En: "And I think it would perfectly complete my personal collection," she replied, challenging him.It: Così iniziò una competizione amichevole tra di loro, un gioco di parole, sorrisi e scherzi che attirò l'attenzione del venditore e dei passanti.En: So began a friendly competition between them, a game of words, smiles, and jokes that caught the attention of the seller and the passersby.It: La vivacità della loro conversazione attirò l'interesse di molti, che si fermarono ad ascoltare.En: The liveliness of their conversation piqued the interest of many who stopped to listen.It: All'improvviso, la trattativa si trasformò in una discussione più accesa.En: Suddenly, the negotiation turned into a more heated discussion.It: Lorenzo e Giulia si resero conto che oltre all'arazzo, stavano combattendo le loro insicurezze.En: Lorenzo and Giulia realized that beyond the tapestry, they were battling their insecurities.It: Le loro voci si alzarono sopra il chiacchiericcio del mercato, esponendo i loro timori e desideri più profondi.En: Their voices rose above the market chatter, exposing their deepest fears and desires.It: Lorenzo confessò il suo sogno di realizzare un vero capolavoro, mentre Giulia espresse il desiderio d'indipendenza e di riconoscimento.En: Lorenzo confessed his dream of creating a true masterpiece, while Giulia expressed her desire for independence and recognition.It: Il venditore, saggiamente, intervenne.En: The seller, wisely, intervened.It: Propose loro un accordo insolito: collaborare insieme.En: He proposed an unusual agreement: to collaborate together.It: Lorenzo avrebbe potuto utilizzare l'arazzo come fonte d'ispirazione per una nuova opera, mentre Giulia avrebbe potuto sfruttare l'opportunità di gestire la commercializzazione del lavoro finito.En: Lorenzo could use the tapestry as a source of inspiration for a new work, while Giulia could take the opportunity to manage the marketing of the finished work.It: Sorpresi dalla proposta, Lorenzo e Giulia si guardarono.En: Surprised by the proposal, Lorenzo and Giulia looked at each other.It: Entrambi compresero il potenziale della collaborazione.En: They both understood the potential of collaboration.It: Unirono le loro forze, combinando il talento artistico di Lorenzo con l'acume commerciale di Giulia.En: They joined forces, combining Lorenzo's artistic talent with Giulia's business acumen.It: Con il passare del tempo, il loro progetto comune non solo portò beneficio alle loro ambizioni personali, ma anche alla loro relazione che nel tempo si trasformò in qualcosa di speciale.En: Over time, their joint project not only benefited their personal ambitions but also their relationship, which over time transformed into something special.It: Lorenzo trovò la fiducia che cercava; Giulia, la sua forza interiore e il rispetto che meritava.En: Lorenzo found the confidence he was seeking; Giulia found her inner strength and the respect she deserved.It: Il mercato continuava a pulsare di vita, e tra le risate e il chiacchiericcio, Lorenzo e Giulia camminavano insieme, pronti ad affrontare il futuro, mano nella mano.En: The market continued to pulse with life, and among the laughter and chatter, Lorenzo and Giulia walked together, ready to face the future, hand in hand.

Haim Bresheeth, filmmaker and historian, discusses the growing trend in Britain and the West to curtail free speech concerning criticisms of Israel and Zionism as he details his arrest in London for protesting against the genocide in Gaza. Declaring that the freedom of expression, ostensibly guaranteed in Western democracies, no longer exists, Bresheeth observes how criticism of Gaza is being silenced through changes in the laws regarding the demonstrations and reporting on the current genocide perpetuated by Israel. He notes the irony in how today it is perfectly acceptable for Israel to commit genocide, killing tens of thousands of children, but it is not acceptable to criticise the crime of genocide as such criticism has been criminalised. Declaiming that there is “nothing Jewish” about genocide, settler colonialism, or killing children, he notes the paradox of how Israel has weaponised the Holocaust and Jewish identity to support its current genocide while besmirching anyone who disagrees with claims of “antisemitism.” Historicising Europe's role in genocides and colonialism for centuries, Bresheeth compares this genocide to that of the Nazis and considers the role of the 300,000 Israeli citizens who have been drafted in order to carry out this genocide and the social psychosis that enables them to do so. Considering the role Islamophobia plays in the genocide of Palestinians, he discusses the historical importance of the convivencia, when Muslims and Jews co-existed in harmony in Andalusia. Bresheeth observes how Europeans would never have had their Renaissance without the rich cultural, artistic, and scientific heritage of Arabo-Muslim societies which preserved and translated Western literature and scientific texts due to the widespread burning of these texts by Western churches.

ANNE LEIGHTON RETURNS (WITH MORE ROCK LEGENDS) She's back! After an incredible conversation in Episode 90, newly minted "Honorary Derringer" Anne Leighton rejoins Team Derringer at the table for Part 2. As a veteran music publicist, artist representative, poet, and public speaker, Anne (of Leighton Media, Music Services, Motivation) has championed some of the most respected names in music. In this episode, Anne pulls the curtain back even further, sharing insights and personal stories about three more artists from her rock and roll stable... including the namesake of this very podcast! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR: Rick Derringer: The Namesake | We finally do it. We're talking about the man himself, the namesake for Team Derringer, the legendary Rick Derringer. While Anne didn't formally publicize Rick, she shares her notable personal connection to the rock icon who gave us "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo." We trace his career from the #1 hit "Hang On Sloopy" with The McCoys to his production work for Edgar Winter ("Frankenstein") and even "Weird Al" Yankovic's Grammy-winning hits. Renaissance: The Annie Haslam Era | Next, Anne discusses the symphonic-rock legends Renaissance. We clarify the connection to the original Yardbirds-era lineup (featuring Jim McCarty) and dive into the iconic version of the band fronted by the ethereal vocals of Annie Haslam. Anne shares her work with the group responsible for prog-rock classic "Carpet of the Sun." Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius: The Future of Prog | To cap it off, Anne introduces us to an artist who has been called "The Jimi Hendrix of the electric violin." Joe Deninzon is a force of nature who leads the progressive rock quartet Stratospheerius. We discuss his incredible journey, which has recently led him to his biggest gig yet: joining the legendary rock band Kansas as their new violinist, bringing his energy to timeless classics like "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind."

Millions of people called ancient Egypt home, and the vast majority of them weren't kings or high priests; they were humble farmers and laborers making their living from the rich black soil surrounding the Nile.

Hans Holbein was undoubtedly our window into the court of King Henry VIII. His remarkable portrait collection allows us to see who the figures of the Tudor court were, from Henry VIII's queens to his political enemies, lawyers, churchmen and much more. To discuss this remarkable man with me, I am pleased to welcome Dr Elizabeth Goldring back onto the podcast for a discussion based around her upcoming book, Holbein, Renaissance Master. From Holbein's early life to the methods he used, to symbolism in his imagery, all will be discussed, so settle in as Elizabeth and I explore the life of the 16th centuries greatest artist.
