Tichys Einblick Talk analysiert einen brisanten Polit-Skandal: Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer steht im Zentrum schwerer Vorwürfe. Im Gespräch mit dem Plagiatsforscher Stefan Weber und Max Mannhart von Apollo News diskutiert Roland Tichy über Urheberrechtsverletzungen, angeblich erschlichene Subventionen und mögliche politische Korruption. Im Raum stehen Fragen wie: Verkauft ein Regierungsmitglied politischen Zugang für 80.000 Euro? Welche Rolle spielen Medien, Justiz und Regierung? Und warum schweigen viele etablierte Medien? Die Gäste liefern Hintergrund, Einordnung und Kritik – und sprechen über die Rolle unabhängiger Medien in einer zunehmend polarisierten Öffentlichkeit.

Hey everyone, Alex here

We're re-releasing one of our most popular episodes, an important conversation with Wolfram syndrome expert Dr. Fumi Urano.   We're bringing this episode back in honor of Diabetic Eye Disease Month, and because it's the perfect follow-up to our last episode featuring Dr. Rachel Hyman and our very own co-host Cathy Gildenhorn as guests. Their experiences with the milder, adult-onset variant of Wolfram syndrome sparked so much interest, we knew this episode needed another moment in the spotlight. You'll hear Cathy interview Dr. Urano, her lead physician, about symptoms, diagnosis, and promising research underway to help people with rare neurodegenerative disorders like Wolfram syndrome.   We are thrilled to have Dr. Fumihiko Urano on “It Happened To Me” as he is our co-host Cathy's lead doctor, for her variant of the rare disease, Wolfram Syndrome.    Fumihiko “Fumi” Urano, MD, Ph.D., is a Physician and Medical Researcher specializing in Wolfram syndrome, characterized by juvenile-onset diabetes, vision loss, and neurodegeneration. Dr. Urano is a Professor of Medicine and Pathology & Immunology, an attending physician at Endocrinology Genetics Clinic, and currently holds Samuel E. Schechter Endowed Professorship in Medicine at Washington University Medical Center, St. Louis, USA. Dr. Urano is a driving force in the study of Wolfram syndrome and Related Disorders, including WFS1-related disorders/Wolfram-like disorders. As the Director of the Wolfram Syndrome and Related Disorders Clinic and Study at Washington University Medical Center, Dr. Urano has been leading the clinical, translational, and interventional studies of Wolfram syndrome and Related disorders. Dr. Urano's collaboration with colleagues at the medical center and around the world has allowed him to develop cutting-edge treatments for this disease, including gene therapy and regenerative therapy.    Learn more on their Wolfram syndrome website, wolframsyndrome.wustl.edu. If you want to reach out directly you can contact the Research Nurse Coordinator Stacy Hurst, RN, CDE by calling 314-747-3294 or emailing shurst@wustl.edu.    During the episode Dr. Urano mentioned two episodes of “It Happened To Me”: during this episode. The first was our interview with Dr. Gladstone in Episode 5. He also gave a shoutout to our conversation with Stephanie Snow Gebel (Snow Foundation) in Episode 9.    Stay tuned for the next new episode of “It Happened To Me”!

In this insightful episode of It Happened To Me, hosts Beth Glassman and Cathy Gildenhorn (in a rare guest role!) sit down with Dr. Rachel Hyman, a clinical psychologist from Seattle whose experience with Wolfram syndrome was recently featured in The Washington Post here. Wolfram syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects vision, blood sugar regulation, and neurological function. Often diagnosed in childhood, it can present very differently from one person to another, and in this episode, we hear from two women living with a milder, adult-onset form of the condition, most common among those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Rachel and Cathy open up about the long diagnostic odyssey, early symptoms that were misunderstood, and how it feels to finally have a genetic explanation after years of uncertainty. They share how they've each learned to adapt, from managing diabetes and vision loss to embracing new technologies that restore independence. Their stories highlight the power of self-advocacy, medical persistence, and community, reminding listeners that awareness is often the first step toward better care and future research. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What Wolfram syndrome is and how symptoms are on a spectrum  Rachel's diagnostic journey from gestational diabetes to genetic confirmation Cathy's daily strategies for living with vision loss, pre-diabetes, and sensory changes The role of technology and accessibility tools in maintaining independence How emotional resilience and community support help patients face uncertain prognoses The critical importance of genetic testing and awareness for rare neurodegenerative diseases Hope for the future of Wolfram research and patient advocacy About the Guests Dr. Rachel Hyman Rachel Hyman is a clinical psychologist based in the Seattle area. She specializes in working with older teens and young adults navigating anxiety and depression and serves as adjunct faculty at Antioch University, where she supervises doctoral students in psychology. Rachel's personal journey with Wolfram syndrome was featured in The Washington Post, shedding light on this underrecognized condition and the importance of accurate genetic diagnosis. Cathy Gildenhorn Usually behind the mic as co-host of It Happened To Me, Cathy joins this episode as a guest to share her own journey with Wolfram syndrome. She has devoted much of her life to improving the lives of others and connecting women to Jewish life and each other. She has served on several local, national and international boards and currently serves on the board of the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning. Cathy also served as presidential appointee to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. While a council member, she worked on the opening of the museum.  Recommended Resources  Jewish Wolfram Network Johns Hopkins' The Wilmer Eye Institute Wolfram Syndrome and Related Disorders Clinic and Study at Washington University Medical Center The Snow Foundation   Relevant Episodes  #3 Wolfram Syndrome with Cathy Gildenhorn #9 Wolfram Syndrome with Stephanie Gebel Snow #18 Hattersley-Urano Wolfram Syndrome with Parent Tamara Blum #21 Wolfram Syndrome with Parent Pat Gibilisco #26 Wolfram Syndrome Expertise from Dr. Fumihiko Urano   Stay tuned for the next new episode of “It Happened To Me”!

Vampire sind los: Der Aufstieg des Hochstaplers Wolfram Weimer Da inszeniert sich ein Politiker als Bewahrer von Anstand und Kultur, gibt sich als letzter ehrlicher Mensch aus, der dem Medienbetrieb helfen will. Zuletzt geigt er auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse bösen amerikanischen Techkonzernen die Meinung, bezichtigt sie wie Google des Vampirismus, also als diejenigen, die brave Autoren aussaugen. Jetzt entpuppt sich durch Zufall derjenige selbst als Vampir. Auf seiner Plattform The European hat er Hunderte Texte gestohlen, prominente Namen missbraucht und Werbekunden getäuscht – darunter sogar Papst Franziskus und Alice Weidel. Er steckt selbst tief in einem Geflecht aus Täuschung und Urheberrechtsverletzungen: vom derzeitigen Kulturstaatssekretär Wolfram Weimer ist die Rede. Er steht im Zentrum eines Skandals, der inzwischen politische Dimensionen erreicht. Ein Gespräch mit Roland Tichy über den Mann, der als moralische Instanz auftritt, sich aber an fremdem Geist und Geld bereichert – und der als Staatssekretär im Kabinett von Friedrich Merz nun auch über Steuermittel verfügt. Eine Geschichte über Hochstapelei, Macht und die erstaunliche Geduld der Politik in der Berliner Republik.

"Es ist das beste Amt der ganzen Bundesregierung", sagt Wolfram Weimer über sein Amt als Kulturstaatsminister. Weil man so viel bewirken kann, so viel anschieben.Auch im "ntv Salon" gibt sich Weimer betont optimistisch: "Wir Deutschen sind manchmal auch verliebt in Depressionen, das gehört zu unserem faustischen Naturell", sagt er. "Aber wir haben Comeback-Qualitäten der ungeahnten Art, über Jahrhunderte übrigens. Im nächsten Jahr kriegen wir einen Aufschwung."Größere Sorgenfalten verursachen bei ihm die amerikanische Meinungsmacht im Netz und der Einfluss von Algorithmen auf die politische Willensbildung. Weimer ist überzeugt, dass die großen Plattformen und Tech-Unternehmen politisch eingefangen werden müssen: "Du kannst Monopole nicht dulden, weil sie den Wettbewerb unterbinden, in diesem Fall auch den Meinungswettbewerb", sagt Weimer. "Selbst Marktwirtschaftler wie Ludwig Erhard hätten gesagt: Wir müssen Google zerschlagen."Worum ging es noch im "ntv Salon"? Julia Ruhs und den NDR und Israel und den ESC. Auch das fehlende Wertezentrum der AfD war Thema: "Der moralische Kern der AfD ist das Ressentiment, das ist die eigentliche Brandmauer für die CDU", sagt Weimer. Und sagt trotz aller gegenteiligen Umfragen voraus: "In drei Jahren wird die AfD bei 9 Prozent stehen."Gast?

Visit https://www.economist.com/toe In this episode, I speak with Stephen Wolfram—creator of Mathematica and Wolfram Language—about a “new kind of science” that treats the universe as computation. We explore computational irreducibility, discrete space, multi-way systems, and how the observer shapes the laws we perceive—from the second law of thermodynamics to quantum mechanics. Wolfram reframes Feynman diagrams as causal structures, connects evolution and modern AI through coarse fitness and assembled “lumps” of computation, and sketches a nascent theory of biology as bulk orchestration. We also discuss what makes science good: new tools, ruthless visualization, respect for history, and a field he calls “ruliology”—the study of simple rules, where anyone can still make real contributions.

100 Jahre Schweizer Hörspiel: Die Spatzen pfeifen's von den Dächern! «Was, wenn Menschen Vögel wären?» fragt dieses Hörspiel – und erzählt von schrägen Vögeln, ja von einem ganzen Vogelhaus: Ein Haus bewohnt von Rabeneltern und Kuckuckskindern, von Paradiesvögeln und Drecksspatzen. Autor Wolfram Höll und Musikerin Barblina Meierhans bauen ein Vogelhaus. Es ist ein Haus aus Geschichten: Wie die Geschichte von den Eltern, die immer auf Achse sind, um die hungrigen Münder zu stopfen; die nach mehr schreien, nach immer mehr, ohne Ende. Oder die Geschichte von den Geschwistern, die eins nach dem anderen aus dem Fenster fallen - alle, bis auf eines. Doch dieses Vogelhaus ist auch ein Haus aus Klängen: Wo es in jeder Wohnung anders singt und musiziert, pfeift und zwitschert und tiriliert. Dieses Hörspiel hat am Grand Prix Nova 2018 die bronzene Trophäe in der Kategorie Kurzhörspiel gewonnen. Mit: Anette Herbst und Klaus Brömmelmeier (Meisen), Markus Scheumann (Mauersegler), Mona Petri (Kuckuck), Suly Röthlisberger (Wanderfalke), Isabelle Menke und Raphael Clamer (Raubvögel), Katja Reinke (Eisvogel), Jodoc Seidel (Krähen), Jürg Kienberger (Singvogel), Thomas Sarbacher (Eule) Musik: Barblina Meierhans (Komposition, musikalische Leitung), Samuel Stoll (Horn), Irina Ungureanu (Gesang), Isa Wiss (Gesang), Lauren Newton (Gesang) - Tontechnik: Basil Kneubühler - Regie: Wolfram Höll - Produktion: SRF 2016 - Dauer: 35'

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Juan Samitier, co-founder of DAMM Capital, for a wide-ranging conversation on decentralized insurance, treasury management, and the evolution of finance on-chain. Together they explore the risks of smart contracts and hacks, the role of insurance in enabling institutional capital to enter crypto, and historical parallels from Amsterdam's spice trade to Argentina's corralito. The discussion covers stablecoins like DAI, MakerDAO's USDS, and the collapse of Luna, as well as the dynamics of yield, black swan events, and the intersection of DeFi with AI, prediction markets, and tokenized assets. You can find Juan on Twitter at @JuanSamitier and follow DAMM Capital at @DAMM_Capital.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Stewart Alsop introduces Juan Samitier, who shares his background in asset management and DeFi, setting up the conversation on decentralized insurance.00:10 They discuss Safu, the insurance protocol Juan designed, and why hedging smart contract risk is key for asset managers deploying capital in DeFi.00:15 The focus shifts to hacks, audits, and why even fully audited code can still fail, bringing up historical parallels to ships, pirates, and early insurance models.00:20 Black swan events, risk models, and the limits of statistics are explored, along with reflections on Wolfram's ideas and the Ascent of Money.00:25 They examine how TradFi is entering crypto, the dominance of centralized stablecoins, and regulatory pushes like the Genius Act.00:30 DAI's design, MakerDAO's USDS, and Luna's collapse are explained, tying into the Great Depression, Argentina's corralito, and trust in money.00:35 Juan recounts his path from high school trading shitcoins to managing Kleros' treasury, while Stewart shares parallels with dot-com bubbles and Webvan.00:40 The conversation turns to tokenized assets, lending markets, and why stablecoin payments may be DeFi's Trojan horse for TradFi adoption.00:45 They explore interest rates, usury, and Ponzi dynamics, comparing Luna's 20% yields with unsustainable growth models in tech and crypto.00:50 Airdrops, VC-funded incentives, and short-term games are contrasted with building long-term financial infrastructure on-chain.00:55 Stewart brings up crypto as Venice in 1200, leading into reflections on finance as an information system, the rise of AI, and DeFi agents.01:00 Juan explains tokenized hedge funds, trusted execution environments, and prediction markets, ending with the power of conditional markets and the future of betting on beliefs.Key InsightsOne of the biggest risks in decentralized finance isn't just market volatility but the fragility of smart contracts. Juan Samitier emphasized that even with million-dollar audits, no code can ever be guaranteed safe, which is why hedging against hacks is essential for asset managers who want institutional capital to enter crypto.Insurance has always been about spreading risk, from 17th century spice ships facing pirates to DeFi protocols facing hackers. The same logic applies today: traders and treasuries are willing to sacrifice a small portion of yield to ensure that catastrophic losses won't wipe out their entire investment.Black swan events expose the limits of financial models, both in traditional finance and crypto. Juan pointed out that while risk models try to account for extreme scenarios, including every possible tail risk makes insurance math break down—a tension that shows why decentralized insurance is still early but necessary.Stablecoins emerged as crypto's attempt to recreate the dollar, but their design choices determine resilience. MakerDAO's DAI and USDS use overcollateralization for stability, while Luna's algorithmic model collapsed under pressure. These experiments mirror historical monetary crises like the Great Depression and Argentina's corralito, reminding us that trust in money is fragile.Argentina's history of inflation and government-imposed bank freezes makes its citizens uniquely receptive to crypto. Samitier explained that even people without financial training understand macroeconomic risks because they live with them daily, which helps explain why Argentina has some of the world's highest adoption of stablecoins and DeFi tools.The path to mainstream DeFi adoption may lie in the intersection of tokenized real-world assets, lending markets, and stablecoin payments. TradFi institutions are already asking how retail users access cheaper loans on-chain, showing that DeFi's efficiency could become the Trojan horse that pulls traditional finance deeper into crypto rails.Looking forward, the fusion of AI with DeFi may transform finance into an information-driven ecosystem. Trusted execution environments, prediction markets, and conditional markets could allow agents to trade on beliefs and probabilities with transparency, blending deterministic blockchains with probabilistic AI—a glimpse of what financial Venice in the information age might look like.

Von Filmförderung bis Digitalsteuer: Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer zeigt klare Ziele – doch mit Genderdebatten lenkt er davon ab.

First, zombie cop cuties stalk the streets of LA in navy blue booties. Wesley puts his life on the line daring them to lock him up and is shocked when they shoot him, a white man! While Gunn and Cordelia try to save his life and simultaneously defend Anne's shelter, Angel relies on Kate to help him understand this new menace.   Then, when Angel learns of a 75-year review conducted by the Senior Partners that has all of Wolfram & Hart spooked, he sees it as an opportunity to take the fight to them. Darla has other ideas. Angel takes the elevator ride of his life, and what he learns leaves him shaken to his core, just in time for Darla to stir up his passions.   Coverage of “Reprise” starts at 54:45.   Hear us discuss… Wesley, when we said “check your white privilege,” this is not what we meant Kate redemption arc CANCELLED We love the Gunn split loyalties arc Somebody call Lagos; we found a second glove of Myneghon!!

Wolfram Weimer ist seit 100 Tagen als Kulturstaatsminister im Amt. Als Beauftragter für ein konservatives Weltbild hat er geliefert, meint Stefan Koldehoff.

What happens when a world-class mathematician meets '80s college radio, Bill Gates' top-10 favorite books, and a host with an algebra redemption arc? A surprisingly funny, fast-moving conversation. Dr. Jordan Ellenberg—John D. MacArthur Professor of Mathematics at UW–Madison and author of How Not to Be Wrong—swaps stories about The Housemartins, consulting on NUMB3RS (yes, one of his lines aired), and competing at the International Mathematical Olympiad. There's a lot of laughter—and a fresh way to see math as culture, craft, and curiosity.But we also get practical about math education. We discuss the love/hate split students have for math and what it implies for curriculum design; a century of “new” methods (and if anything is truly new); how movie tropes (Good Will Hunting, etc.) shape student identity in math; soccer-drills vs scrimmage as a frame for algebra practice and “honest” applications; grades as feedback vs record; AI shifting what counts as computation vs math; why benchmarks miss the point and the risk of lowering writing standards with LLMs; and a preview of Jordan's pro-uncertainty thesis.Listen to Learn: A better answer to “Why am I learning this?” using a soccer analogyThe two big off-ramps of math for students, and tactics that keep more students on boardHow to replace the “born genius” myth with a mindset that helps any student do mathWhen a grade is a record vs. a motivator, and a simple replacement policy that turns a rough start into effort and growthWhat AI will and won't change in math class, and why “does it help create new math?” matters more than benchmark scores3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Math mastery comes from practice plus meaning, not a “born genius.” Jordan puts it plainly: “genius is a thing that happens, not a kind of person,” and he uses the soccer drills vs scrimmage analogy to pair targeted practice with real tasks, with algebraic manipulation as a core high school skill. He urges teachers to “throw a lot of spaghetti at the wall” so different explanations land for different students, because real innovation is iterative and cooperative.2. Students fall off at fractions and Algebra I. How do we pull them back? Jordan names those two moments as the big off-ramps and points to multiple representations, honest applications, and frequent low‑stakes practice to keep kids in. Matt's own algebra story shows how a replacement policy turned failure into effort and persistence, reframing grades as motivation rather than just record‑keeping.3. AI will shift our capabilities and limits in math, but math is still a human task. Calculators and Wolfram already do student‑level work, and Jordan argues benchmarks like DeepMind vs the International Mathematical Olympiad matter less than whether tools help create new mathematics. He also warns against letting LLMs lower writing standards and says the real test is whether these systems add substantive math, not just win contests.Resources in this Episode:Visit Jordan Ellenberg's website! jordanellenberg.comRead How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical ThinkingWe want to hear from you!

First, Angel stalks another blonde from Sunnydale after discovering that Wolfram & Hart launders money through her youth shelter. When an old enemy tracks Angel down to LA, everything aligns for an epic con. Meanwhile, Cordelia, Wesley, and Gunn locate a new office.   Then, when physics graduate student's experiment threatens to end the world, Angel and Lorne team up and go undercover on campus. It remains to be seen who's the bigger enemy: the Six Flags demons who will stop at nothing to see this apocalypse happen, or the misogyny making it possible. Meanwhile, thanks to Virginia, the new Angel Investigations has its first case.   Coverage of “Happy Anniversary” starts at 43:50.   Hear us discuss… Anne is a delightful deep cut When will Lindsey and Lilah do lawyer things again??

For the Sake of Forests and Gods: Governing Life and Livelihood in the Philippine Uplands (Cornell University Press, 2025) examines the impacts of religious and environmental non-governmental actors on the lives of highlanders on Palawan Island, the Philippines. The absence of the state in Palawan's mountainous regions have meant that these non-governmental actors have been able to increasingly assume governmental authority. Wolfram H. Dressler explores these actors' emergence, goals, and practices in Palawan to reveal their influence on regulating agricultural cultivation, forests, customary objects, healthcare, and value systems. Using a relational approach and based on more than two decades of experience in Palawan, Dressler explains the causes and consequences of converging religious and environmental nongovernmental reforms in indigenous upland spaces. The book aims to provoke us to critically reflect on the political consequences non-governmental actors have on upland peoples negotiating challenges of late capitalism, and advocates for indigenous communities to be able to do so on their own terms.

During the 15th-century, citizens of Nuremberg, Germany, experienced spectacular Carnival parades highlighted by the appearance of floats known as "hells."  Featuring immense figures, including dragons, ogres, and man-eating  giants, these hells were also peopled with costumed performers and enhanced with mechanized effects and pyrotechnics. In this episode, adapted from a chapter of Mr. Ridenour's new book, A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters and Marvels of the Old-World Carnival, we examine the Nuremberg parade, the Schembartlauf, as it evolves from costumed dance performances staged by the local Butcher's Guild in the mid-1 4th-century into a procession of fantastic and elaborately costumed figures, and finally -- in 1475 - into a showcase for the rolling hells. We begin, however, with an examination of a historical anecdotes sometimes presented as forerunners of  the Carnival parades, and of the Schembartlauf in particular, including two sometimes put forward to support a "pagan survival" theory.  The first involves a ceremonial wagon housing a figure of the putative fertility goddess, Nerthus, hauled about by Germanic peoples in the first century and mentioned in Tacitus' Germania.  The second, also involving a wagon with fertility figure, is described by Gregory of Tours as being hauled through farmers' fields in the 6th-century.

A third case involves the mysterious "land-ship," a full-scale wheeled ship hauled from Germany into Belgium, and the Netherlands in 1135. Mentioned exclusively by the Flemish abbot, composer, and chronicler Rudolf of St. Trond in his Gesta Abbatum Trudonensium (Deeds of the Abbots of Trond), it's characterized by the abbot as a sort of pagan temple on wheels and locus of orgiastic behavior, the precise purpose and nature of this peculiar incident remains largely a mystery. We then hear a comic incident imagined in the early 13th-century story of the knight Parzival as told by Wolfram von Eschenbach. By way of analogy to the character's ludicrous behavior, Carnival is mentioned for the first time, or more specifically von Eschenbach use the German word for Carnival, specifically the Carnival of Germany's southwest called "Fastnacht." Our story of the Schembartlauf concludes the show with a description of its ironic downfall through local intrigues fired by the Protestant Reformation. Worth mentioning also, in our Schembart segment, is the heated scholarly debate around objects depicted in period illustrations, which look for all the world like oversized pyrotechnic artichokes. New Patreon rewards related to Mr. Ridenour's Carnival book are also announced in this episode, along with related Carnival-themed merch in our Etsy shop, including our "Party Like it's 1598" shirts featuring Schembart figures.
