Professor Avi Loeb: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth
May 11, 2021, 6:16 p.m.
Harvard Professor Avi Loeb says that it is an artifact - many colleagues say it is just another comet or asteroid.
Here is part of the ongoing and escalating controversy laid out in the Big Brains podcast from the University of Chicago from May 6, 2021. The full 34 minute conversation between Paul Rand and Professor Avi Loeb is on the University of Chicago website.
Avi Loeb is a theoretical physicist who works on astrophysics and cosmology. He is former chair of the astronomy department at Harvard University and directs the Black Hole Initiative. He chairs the Advisory Committee for the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative and the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies.
His recently published book is: Extraterrestrial, The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth - and the publisher says: Harvardâs top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star. It was discovered by the Pan-STARRS telescope in Maui, Hawaii, and given the name, âOumuamua.
The publication of the book: Extraterrestrial, sharpened the controversy - which, by the way, is welcomed by Avi Loeb. The public is fascinated and the book is already a best-seller. Academic support is rare and critics are becoming organized. Some of it plays out in scientific papers - but much more is now on the internet. The Big Brains podcast from the University of Chicago is so interesting because the host, Paul M. Rand is well informed in the science of it and engages in a conversation.

Nicole Taylor of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation
May 11, 2021, 4:45 p.m.
This past year has been trying for everyone, with the economically vulnerable particularly hard hit. In a heartening turn, there has been an uptick in both volunteering and philanthropy throughout the country: charitable giving increased approximately 25% in 2020, and volunteerism also rose in response to increasing unemployment, poverty, and food insecurity. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with the CEO of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Nicole Taylor about this key California philanthropic organization. We learn how community foundations receive money from donors and distribute these funds to non-profits, discuss ways that the pandemic has changed philanthropy, and talk about how the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing trial of Derek Chauvin ignited a wave of giving to support racial justice.

#688 -- Bitter Lake - Part 1 (R)
May 9, 2021, 10:19 a.m.
ADAM CURTIS's fine documentary, adapted to radio by KD.
It's about the history and politics of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and the U.S. since 1946. About the many failures of reformers--American, Russian, and Afghan alike--to remake and modernize Afghanistan. It's about shrewd and cynical calculations by Saudi and American leaders--who promote development and stability in Saudi Arabia by exporting Saudi extremist Islam (Wahhabism) abroad--including to Afghanistan.

New Security Law Will Bring Stability and Progress to Hong Kong
May 8, 2021, 8:20 p.m.
Grenville Cross was for ten years a special prosecutor in Hong Kong. He was proud of the 'One-China - Two Systems' and of the HK judiciary.
Phil plays a recording in which Cross starts on the Basic Law of 1997. The Basic Law permits the Hong Kong government the power to make security arrangements, which it failed to do. Instead, the failure allowed China's enemies to sow discord and try to create chaos in HK.
One of the problems created was the inability to deal with fugitive criminals. Many of those elected in the HK elections failed to live up to their oath of office. Instead, they acted as saboteurs and wreckers, trying to harm HK, and calling for foreign intervention.
China's introduction of the new Security Law sets the matter straight by providing electoral reform, extradition, while still maintaining the Basic Law. Hopefully, newly-elected legislators will show loyalty to HK and the PRC. If they do, HK will prosper and be a productive part of the Republic.
The Catastrophes of the Pandemic are the Catastrophes of Capitalism
May 8, 2021, 5:38 p.m.
Phil interviews Stephen Gowans about his recent article, "The Catastrophes of the Pandemic are the Catastrophes of Capitalism."
Catastrophes demonstrate whether governments are fit for the job. Gowans says COVID-19 has shown how much better communist countries have performed for their people: China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba. There are also a few capitalist countries that have done well also - Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Gowans plotted deaths-per-country on a matrix along with the wealth of the country. One would think that wealthier countries would do better fighting the pandemic, because they have more resources. But that hypothesis is not proven by the facts.
Communist countries have far outperformed capitalist countries. Phil points out that the Province of Ontario had more deaths than all of China, and the USA had 100 times the deaths of the PRC, even though the USA has only one-fifth of China's population.
Another interesting observation by Gowans is that 3 million people, who succumbed to COVID-19, would be alive today, if the US, UK, Russia, Brazil, and India performed as well as the PRC, Vietnam, Cuba, and North Korea. And the Communist countries did this completely without vaccines, but rather through public health measures.
The Ontario cabinet is full of businesspeople who were elected to "Open Ontario for Business." No wonder they continually opted for keeping their businesses open, people's health be damned!
