Last Fall, Elon Musk announced, that he wanted to perfect and mass-produce Optimus as soon as possible, predicting the “humanoid” would prove to be widely accepted and profitable. The techno-futurist is unlikely to question his commitment to a rapidly expanding world of “artificial intelligence" and how it will contribute to an entirely surveilled, behavior-modified, and jobless humanity as some people will prefer AI-enabled robots over humans.

With the November elections just weeks away, campaigning is as important now as ever before. A major challenge for this year’s local office candidates, however, is finding creative ways to campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic. One such candidate, Wendy Stolyarov, who is running for the Ward One seat on Sparks City Council, has been conducting her own contact free campaign neighborhood “lit drops.” Stolyarov has also turned her campaign into a vehicle for assisting people in need. “When the pandemic hit, we switched to doing community welfare calls,” Stolyarov said. “Whatever [their needs] might've been, we were then putting them in contact with those resources and encouraged people to engage in mutual aid. Our first mailer for the campaign was a mutual aid card, which you basically put your name on and stuck it on your neighbor's door offering to help. I got a lot of phone calls from people who had received those and said that it was such a sweet idea and were going to reach out and help their neighbor and see what they can do in the community.” She says this also made her realize the positive influence of community building, rather than pretending to be an individual savior. Hear much more in this episode with reporter Scott King on her campaign techniques and the issues she cares about as she runs for a seat on the Sparks City Council in northern Nevada.

  In this podcast I read Death is Wrong by Gennady Stolyarov II. A number of people have recommend or requested I record myself reading. Enjoy.      From the book's Amazon page: If you have ever asked, "Why do people have to die?" then this book is for you. The answer is that no, death is not necessary, inevitable, or good. In fact, death is wrong. Death is the enemy of us all, to be fought with medicine, science, and technology. This book introduces you to the greatest, most challenging, most revolutionary movement to radically extend human lifespans so that you might not have to die at all. You will learn about some amazingly long-lived plants and animals, recent scientific discoveries that point the way toward lengthening lifespans in humans, and simple, powerful arguments that can overcome the common excuses for death. If you have ever thought that death is unjust and should be defeated, you are not alone. Read this book, and become part of the most important quest in human history. This book was written by the philosopher and futurist Gennady Stolyarov II and illustrated by the artist Wendy Stolyarov. It is here to show you that, no matter who you are and what you can do, there is always a way for you to help in humanity’s struggle against death.

Stolyarov reviews Robert P. Murphy’s The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal (2009).

Fakultät für Geowissenschaften - Digitale Hochschulschriften der LMU

Das Auftriebsgebiet vor Namibia ist eines der produktivsten Gebiete der Weltmeere. Die hohe organische Flußrate zur Sedimentoberfläche kann nicht vollständig abgebaut werden. Im inneren bis mittleren Schelfbereich akkumulieren dadurch hoch organische, bis zu 14 m mächtige, Diatomeenschlicke (EMEIS et al. 2004). Hier kommt es durch bakterielle Aktivität zur Sauerstoffzehrung bis zur Anoxis, zusammen mit der Bildung von Schwefelwasserstoff und Methan (EMEIS et al. 2004, WEEKS 2004). In solchen Sedimenten spielt die Denitrifizierung eine bedeutende Rolle im Stickstoffkreislauf (TYRRELL & LUCAS 2002). Die Denitrifizierung war lange Zeit nur von Bakterien bekannt, allerdings konnte sie mittlerweile auch für Foraminiferen nachgewiesen werden (RISGAARD-PETERSON et al. 2006, HØGSLUND et al. 2008). Nur in den am stärksten an Sauerstoff verarmten Sedimenten (O2 ≤ 0,3 ml l-1) des Diatomeengürtels vor Namibia wurde die Benthosforaminiere Virgulinella fragilis lebend (gefärbt) aufgefunden (vgl. auch ALTENBACH et al. 2002). Diese ist als Art bekannt, welche an ein sauerstoffarmes und sulfidisches Milieu angepasst ist (BERNHARD 2003) und damit als Proxy für solche Extremenhabitate gelten kann. Die bearbeiteten Proben wurden während der Ausfahrt M57 des Forschungsschiffes Meteor im Jahr 2003 im Zuge des DFG-Projekts Al 331/14-1 in 29-2074 m Wassertiefe vor Namibia gewonnen. Anhand der Proben konnten die Verteilungsmuster der Benthosforaminiferen des Diatomeengürtels und der anliegenden Bereiche verglichen werden. Hierfür wurden taxonomische und faunistische Auswertungen mit physikalischen und chemischen Analysen verglichen. Anhand der vorliegenden Ergebnisse kann der namibianische Schelf in vier Siedlungszonen (Gruppen A bis D) eingeteilt werden. Die A-Gruppe umfasst die flachsten Stationen, die von terrigenen Eintrag und Hydrodynamik stark geprägt sind. Die Stationen der D-Gruppe liegen im äußeren Schelf und am Kontinentalhang. Die Foraminiferen-Assoziationen und die geochemischen Parameter dieser Gruppe tendieren zu normal marinem Milieu. Die Stationen des Diatomeengürtels werden in die B-Gruppe mit lebenden Virgulinella fragilis und die C-Gruppe mit toten V. fragilis geteilt. Die Sauerstoffgehalte der B-Gruppe liegen nicht über 0,3 ml l1-, ansonsten können die beiden Gruppen B und C anhand der physikalischen und che-mischen Parameter nicht unterschieden werden. Das Auftreten von V. fragilis wird von einem Konsortium von drei weiteren Foraminiferen-Arten umrahmt. Ihr sporadisches, aber gemeinsames Auftreten auch in größerer Sedimenttiefe (bis 19 cm) lässt vermuten, dass sie aufgrund von erhöhten Sauerstoffgehalten an der Sedimentoberfläche in Richtung der Redoxkline in größere Sedimenttiefen migrieren. Auf ein pulsierendes Redoxpotential deuten Schwefelbakterien (SCHULZ & SCHULZ 2005) und sedimentchemische Untersuchungen (BORCHERS et al. 2005) hin. Auch die variierende Anzahl von teratologischen Gehäusen und die extrem niedrigen δ13C-Werten von V. fragilis dürften auf das zeitlich und lokal schwankende Redoxverhältnis zurückzuführen sein. Für zwei Arten des Konsortiums kann fakultative Denitrifizierung angenommen werden (RISGAARD-PETERSON et al. 2006, HØGSLUND et al. 2008). Daher dürfte sich das Konsortium durch temporäre oder persistierende Denitrifizierung ernähren, und somit in den Extremhabitaten Namibias erfolgreich siedeln. Für das Auftriebsgebiet vor Chile konnte dies in situ nachgewiesen werden (HØGSLUND et al. 2008). Die ältesten Vertreter der Gattung Virgulinella sind seit dem Oligozän (HAGN 1952, STOLYAROV 2001) bis in das Pliozän (REVETS 1991) bekannt. Sie zeigen eine extreme morphologische Ähnlichkeit zur rezenten Virgulinella fragilis. Sedimentologische Untersuchungen der namibianischen Schelfsedimente deuten auf reduzierende Verhältnisse seit dem Miozän hin (BATURIN 2002). Somit könnten in der Zukunft tiefer reichende Sedimentprofile eine lückenlose Aufnahme der Morphotypen, und somit der evolutiven Anpassung der Gattung vor Namibia, aufzeigen.
