Theory of Everything

On Rand’s Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (1967) and “The Objectivist Ethics” (1961).  

First Rand grounds everyday human knowledge, largely by dismissing the concerns of other philosophers (even those whom she unknowingly parrots) as absurd. Then she uses this certainty to argue for her semi-Nietzschean vision of Great Men who master their emotions and rely only on themselves. Mark, Wes, Dylan, and Seth are satisfied with neither effort.

Warning: This attempt to make sense of Rand’s texts will likely offend any Randians out there, and our reading numerous passages from her alleged “texts” may offend the rest of you. When in doubt, curl up in the fetal position and moan “A=A!” over and over again until the bad sounds stop.

Calibro 35 - Giulia Mon Amour

If you were a movie star in the market for a mansion in 1930s Los Angeles, there was a good chance you might call on Wallace Neff.

Neff wasn't just an architect--he was a starchitect. One of his most famous projects was the renovation of  Pickfair, the estate owned by the iconic silent film actress Mary Pickford, and her husband Douglas Fairbanks. When the couple moved into Pickfar, the house sat on a nameless street in an empty neighborhood called Beverly Hills. If you were lucky enough to be invited to dinner at Pickfair you might find yourself seated next to Babe Ruth, the King of Spain or Albert Einstein. Life magazine called Pickfair “only slightly less important than the white house, and much more fun.” Neff designed estates for Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland and Groucho Marx. His Libby Ranch is now owned by Reese Witherspoon.

But at the end of his life, Wallace Neff lived in a 1,000 square foot concrete bubble. And Neff believed that this simple dome was his greatest architectural achievements.

Los Angeles-based reporter David Weinberg spoke with historian Jeffrey Head, author of No Nails, No Lumber: The Bubble Houses of Wallace Neff.  David also spoke with Kathy Miles, who grew up in Igloo Village; Steve Roden, an artist and current resident of the last remaining bubble house in the US; and architect Stefanos Polyzoides, who has his practice in a classic Spanish/Mediterranean-style Wallace Neff building.

We also hear from Dakar-based producer Juliana Friend, who was nice enough to go check on the bubbles over there.

A different version of this story originally aired on KCRW as part of their Independent Producer Project.

David Weinberg is also the brains behind Random Tape, an audio experiment in, well, random tape.

About a year ago I travelled across America for the BBC. I visited Airports, Amusement parks, Highways and Community Colleges in order to understand how the priority queue is changing the American experience of waiting in line. ***A version of this piece aired on the BBC World Service, part of their “Real America” series.  <a href="https://www.scrollkit.com/s/aUGM5mO" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click for more info</a> or VISIT toe.prx.org

Summary:

Seven years ago federal agent Samantha Moon was the perfect wife and mother, your typical soccer mom with the minivan and suburban home. Then the unthinkable happens, an attack that changes her life forever. And forever is a very long time for a vampire.

Now in Moon River, private investigator Samantha Moon is asked to look into a string of bizarre murders, murders that are looking more and more like the handiwork of a bloodthirsty vampire. But when her sister, Mary Lou, goes missing, Samantha, Allison, and Kingsley take the fight underground...into the dark heart of a vampire's lair.

Recently I decided to watch these torture scenes from Zero Dark Thirty with Joshua Phillips, a journalist who spent years researching the effects of torture on detainees and interrogators. He is the author of None of Us Were Like this Before: American Soldiers and Torture.  At Joshua's apartment we recorded a torture commentary track for our imaginary Criterion edition of the film. 
We will probably never learn the truth about how we found Osama Bin Laden. But there is one thing I know for certain. We didn’t get the information from Umarov Muhibullah.
Journalist McKenzie Funk ran into Umarov, one of the first men to be released from Guantanamo, while hiking in Tajikistan in 2004.

Anyone seriously interested in hacking today eventually finds their way to Gabriella Coleman. As an anthropologist, Gabriella has been researching Anonymous and Hacking culture for years now but she started out studying Free Software in the Bay Area. This work is the basis of her book Coding Freedom: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Hacking. Gabriella showed up right at the moment the Free Software movement rebranded itself as "Open Source" It turns out that there are too many meanings of the word free in the English language: free beer, free speech. But when the government started using the DMCA to crack down on coding, Hackers bonded together around a very specific definition of the word. 
This episode also marks the debut of someone I have been recording for years: my friend "Chris" He is always up to something, sometimes I fear he may be pulling our collective ear-leg but his tales are always fascinating. In this installment he tells us the truth about the Chinese Hackers and the New York Times. 
Also, since yours truly is sick and tired of waiting for the next installment in George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire saga (this is the basis for the Game of Thrones TV show) I ask a hacker named $poiler to see if he can hack into Martin's server and get me the next book. <a href="https://www.scrollkit.com/s/wh0gjJO">Click for more info</a>
