Recomende *episódios* de podcasts interessantes!

[Skepticast #109: 8/24/2007]

O meu outro tópico não surtiu bem o efeito que eu esperava, acho que a proposta desse talvez seja melhor.

A idéia é fazer um tipo de seleção blogóide de episódios especialmente interessantes de podcasts, em vez de listar apenas os programas em geral, que sempre tem os seus altos e baixos. De repente você ouve algum podcast especialmente interessante, e posta aqui o link e descrição resumida.

Vou começar com um que acabei de ouvir:


Skepticast #109: 8/24/2007

Topic Details:
 
Segment  #1:   The Psychology of Belief - A lecture by Perry DeAngelis
   This lecture was recorded in 1998 and is included for the first time in the SGU.
-Perry 5.jpg -

Segment  #2:   The Fans' Favorite Clips of Perry
   In honor of Perry DeAngelis, his fans recommended their favorite clips from past shows. Thanks to Mike from SGUFans.net for putting this together.

Download - MP3, 14,6MB

Episódio do Skepticast. Em especial o primeiro segmento sobre a psicologia das crenças, mas o segundo também até que vale a pena, é engraçado, principalmente o Perry DeAngelis argumentando como os macacos são muito mais durões que as aves. O episódio foi homenagem póstuma a ele, que havia morrido naquele mês.

GENÉTICA
Uma nova espécie humana entre nós?
20/02/2008
A entrevistada da primeira edição do Estúdio CH é a geneticista Cláudia Russo, professora da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Russo é especialista em filogenia, disciplina que investiga a historia evolutiva das espécies. Na entrevista, ela discute a possibilidade de a espécie humana estar passando por um processo de especiação – ou formação de novas espécies.

Bem, a idéia era para assuntos sérios, como ciência, ceticismo, sociedade e política, não humor, mas por outro lado eu não explicitei isso.





PS.: que porcaria, nem tem "chamadas" diferentes para cada episódio para saber do que se trata, é tudo igual...

Vamos nessa então.

Gostei de ouvir, boa indicação 

[Science Saturday: Pre-Apocalyptic Edition]

No bloggingheads.tv, em Science Saturday: Pre-Apocalyptic Edition, o escritor de divulgação científica John Horgan conversa com o autor e professor de ciências políticas Thomas Homer-Dixon sobre questões relacionadas aos temas dos livros do último: conflitos e suas causas. Mais ou menos na mesma linha de "Colapso" de Jared Diamond. O nome exagerado do episódio é costume/piada do programa, e tem a ver com a situação de energia, que ele coloca como bastante influente nessa questão.

Um detalhe interessante mencionado: a relação de energia gasta e obtida no etanol americano produzido com milho é de aproximadamente 1:1, ou seja, é, para fins de energia, uma idiotice.

Pode assistir o diálogo em vídeo (apenas os dois caras olhando para suas webcams de suas casas ou escritórios), seja baixando ou online, ou baixar o MP3 (32,7 MB).

Um tipo de "índice" de segmentos (para os quais se pode "pular" diretamente na versão online do vídeo, se não me engano):

◦ Amidst the optimism of the 90’s, Tad contemplated disaster (05:03)
 
 ◦ Complex causes of violence and war (11:14)
 
 ◦ Does Rome’s fate await us? (07:50) 
 
 ◦ Our dire need for an energy revolution (09:44) 
 
 ◦ How global connectivity can endanger us all (06:46) 
 
 ◦ Why survivalism isn’t the answer (07:35) 

[Michael Gazzaniga: Split brains and other heady tales]

Dois episódios recentes do ótimo "all in the mind"

Os episódios "expiram", os arquivos de áudio deixam de ficar disponíveis para download, ficando só as transcrissões, então se apressem para baixar.

Michael Gazzaniga: Split brains and other heady tales

One of the big names of the brain is Michael Gazzaniga, whose career was forged in the lab of Nobel laureate Roger Sperry. His striking experiments continue to uncover the differences between your left and right hemispheres. Today he's on the US President's Bioethics Council, heads up a major project on neuroscience and the law, and is a prolific writer of popular neuroscience. He joins Natasha Mitchell to reflect on the brain's left and right, and the mysterious nature of free will.


Brain hijinks: out-of-body experiences and other tricks of consciousness

What happens when your brain sees the world not as it really is?

This week, the scientific effort to simulate out-of-body experiences to probe the limits of the self. And, remarkable stories of vision gone heywire—what they reveal about our 'seeing brain'. Two scientists join Natasha Mitchell with extraordinary insights into how your brain creates your mind...




Os arquivos MP3 tem cerca de 14MB, e a apresentadora tem sotaque australiano.

[Science Saturday: Morality and Religion]

Episódio muito interessante do Science Saturday (blogginhheads). Paul Bloom discute com Joshua Knobe sobre aspectos inatos ou naturais da mente, alguns dos quais talvez nos deixem predispostos a crenças morais, e no sobrenatural. Um dos pontos mais interessantes foi citar um experimento que mostrava que crianças bem pequenas não vêem humanos como outros objetos físicos, sujeitos à intuições do mundo físico que eles tem para outros objetos, mas em vez disso, não acham estranho que humanos aparentem se "teletransportar" - como um fantasma.

Mais ou menos relacionado a isso, mas não vi nesse episódio, a psicóloga Alison Gopnik mencionou qualquer coisa sobre como as crianças, até mesmo depois de passada a fase onde ainda não teriam desenvolvida a "teoria da mente", parecem achar que alguns adultos (como professoras do pré-escolar) são onicientes.

Science Saturday: Morality and Religion


Is morality hardwired into us? (11:41)

Could we learn truly arbitrary moral rules? (05:04)

The big booming voice inside you that says God exists (12:12)

The mind-body dualism of children (10:07)

Do you need to have a body to get pissed off? (09:01)

The morality of killing gods and robots (06:46)

[Climate and Catastrophe:The World Crisis of the 17th Century]

Climate and Catastrophe:
The World Crisis of the 17th Century

Geoffrey Parker, Andreas Dorpalen Professor of History at Ohio State University, is a renowned scholar of early modern European social, political, and military history. A Fellow of the British Academy (the highest honor bestowed on a scholar of the humanities in Great Britain), he is the author of many books, including The Military Revolution: Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500-1800 (1988) and The Grand Strategy of Philip II (1998). In 1992 the King of Spain named him Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella for his contributions to Spanish history. Parker has also received two Guggenheim Fellowships to support research on his forthcoming book, Climate and Catastrophe: The World Crisis of the 17th Century (Oxford 2007).

Climate and Catastrophe will bring new global and environmental perspectives to bear on the history of early modern Europe. Parker analyses the historical records and traces the ways in which dramatic climate changes of the 1640s precipitated a cascading series of violent social, economic, and political crises around the globe—from China to Europe to the New World colonies. Acutely relevant to current concerns about the human, economic, and political consequences of global warming, Parker’s research brings historical perspective to bear on current discussions and debates about environmental policies, international politics, and globalization. In his Katz Lecture, Parker will recount this history and probe its meaning for the present.

Watch the lecture in QuickTime or listen in downloadable MP3 or iTunes Podcast format.

[Coping With Stress - Stress Eating and Premature Agin]

Coping With Stress - Stress Eating and Premature Agin

Elissa Epel, UCSF Department of Psychiatry explores the connection between stress, eating and cellular aging. She and her colleagues have found that the cells of high stress individuals appeared older than the cells of those with low stress. These findings have implications for understanding how, at the cellular level, stress may promote earlier onset of age-related diseases.

[Noam Chomsky - free market fantasies - capitalism in the real world]

Noam Chomsky - free market fantasies - capitalism in the real world
Palestra em Harvard, em 1996


Noam Chomsky

For those who are interested in the real world, a look at the actual history suggests some adjustment -- a modification of free market theory, to what we might call "really existing free market theory." That is, the one that's actually applied, not talked about.

And the principle of really existing free market theory is: free markets are fine for you, but not for me. That's, again, near a universal. So you -- whoever you may be -- you have to learn responsibility, and be subjected to market discipline, it's good for your character, it's tough love, and so on, and so forth. But me, I need the nanny State, to protect me from market discipline, so that I'll be able to rant and rave about the marvels of the free market, while I'm getting properly subsidized and defended by everyone else, through the nanny State. And also, this has to be risk-free. So I'm perfectly willing to make profits, but I don't want to take risks. If anything goes wrong, you bail me out. [...]

[Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders]

Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders
from Cato Institute Event Podcast



"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"





In a provocative new book, Jason Riley makes the case for welcoming more legal immigrants to the United States. Drawing on history, scholarly studies and first-hand reporting, Riley argues that today’s newcomers are fueling America’s prosperity and dynamism. He challenges the prevailing views on talk radio and cable TV that immigrants are overpopulating the country, stealing jobs, depressing wages, bankrupting social services, filling prisons, resisting assimilation and promoting big government. Comments will be provided by one of the nation’s leading political analysts.
