Curated Culture

Scientists in the UK have developed a form of artificial intelligence that mimics the brain functions of a honeybee. The results promise to make drones and other flying craft far more manoeuvrable and crash-proof. Also, the dream of a “female internet”; and why mathematician, Hannah Fry, thinks all technologists should take a Hippocratic oath.

Bechdel's new graphic memoir is about her lifelong obsession with exercise. She says she has a "predisposition of being extremely self-conscious and very caught up in my head" — and exercise helps. Bechdel's previous graphic memoir, 'Fun Home,' was about coming out at age 19, and discovering her father had a secret gay life. It was adapted into a Tony Award-winning Broadway show. Also, Justin Chang reviews 'The Disciple,' a film about a man from Mumbai who aspires to be a great classical musician....moreCopy Link

As the guys continue exploring the strange, silent war over who gets to own nuclear weapons, they stumble across the little known story of Operation Outside the Box. When the Israeli military learned its regional rival Syria might be building a nuclear facility, they felt they had only one course of action -- and they were certain that, whatever the consequences, they must do anything in their power to prevent Syria from getting the bomb. Tune in to learn more about this real-life conspiracy, as well as the active cover-up that ensued for the better part of a decade.

Das erste Maiwochenende war ein Wochenende der Proteste. Neben den üblichen Demonstrationen und Kundgebungen der Gewerkschaften gab es die mittlerweile fast ebenso üblichen Ausschreitungen zum 1. Mai aus linken Gruppierungen heraus. In mehreren Städten ist die Polizei eingeschritten, hat manchmal auch Demonstrierende eingekesselt, zum Teil auch aggressiv. Gerechtfertigt wurde das mit dem Nichteinhalten der Hygieneauflagen. Auch die Aufmärsche der sogenannten "Querdenker -Bewegung“ fanden wieder statt. Sie werden allmählich zur Regel. Eines allerdings fällt auf: Bei Corona-Leugnern ohne Maske und Abstand zeigt sich die Polizei zurückhaltender, das heißt dann "Deeskalation“. Wird hier mit zweierlei Maß gemessen? Das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung, das Versammlungs- und Demonstrationsrecht gelten auch in Zeiten der Pandemie. Das öffentliche Kundtun von Meinungen ist auf der Suche nach den besten Lösungen sogar sinnvoll, notwendig und gewollt. Aber wo verlaufen die Grenzen? Dort, wo Verschwörungstheorien beginnen? Bei Maskenverweigerung? In jedem Fall bei Gewalt?...moreCopy Link

Fishing has long lent itself to imparting philosophical parallels and metaphorical life lessons. But these homespun platitudes can, to be honest, tend to get a little timeworn and cliche.  My guest today breathes new life into what fishing, specifically fly fishing, has to teach anglers and non-anglers alike, while also giving us a look inside the skill, fun, and sensibilities of this sport. His name is David Coggins, and he's a travel and style writer, as well as the author of The Optimist: A Case for the Fly Fishing Life. David and I discuss the different types of fly fishing that exist, and what they say about your personality, stage in life, and how we all choose the way we're going to do something. We then discuss the way that pursuits like fly fishing are not just about their mechanics, but the experience as a whole, which includes things like eating hash browns at a diner in Montana. We talk about the importance of mentors, and David's experience with two old guys who showed him the fly fishing ropes. We then get into why men love getting ready for something as much as actually doing it, before delving into the tension between wanting to nab a fish, and being okay when you don't, and how part of growing up is learning how to care, but not care. We end our conversation with the best route for getting into the fly fishing life, and how you can get started in a way that's both affordable and close to home.
