Jimmy Wales — The Sum of All Human Knowledge

Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Riccardo Muti, conductor

Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges: Overture to L'Amant Anonyme (September 2021)

Each of us, in our everyday interactions, chooses between letting technology shape us and shaping it towards human purposes, even towards honoring what we hold dear. Sherry Turkle, director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, is full of usable ideas — from how to declare email bankruptcy to teaching our children the rewards of solitude.

Sherry Turkle — Alive Enough? Reflecting — Our Technology (Nov 15, 2012)

Bells Of Reflection

Steeped in the cutting edge of research around the social lives of networked teens, danah boyd demystifies technology while being wise about the changes it’s making to life and relationship. She has intriguing advice on the technologically-fueled generation gaps of our age — that our children’s immersion in social media may offer a kind of respite from their over-structured, overscheduled analog lives. And that cyber-bullying is an online reflection of the offline world, and blaming technology is missing the point.

Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch - Don't Disappear

When Tiffany Shlain thinks of her favorite quote from naturalist John Muir, she thinks of the internet: "When you tug at a single thing in the universe, you find it's attached to everything else." As a filmmaker and founder of the Webby Awards — the "Oscars of the internet" — she is committed to reframing technology as an expression of the best of what humanity is capable, with all the complexity that entails. With her young family, she has helped popularize the practice of the "tech shabbat" — 24 unplugged hours each week. Her perspective on our technology-enhanced lives is ultimately a purposeful and enriching one: the internet is our global brain, towards which we can apply all the wisdom we are gaining about the brains in our heads and the character in our lives.

On Being with Krista Tippett

[Unedited] Jimmy Wales with Krista Tippett

In the 15 years since its inception, Wikipedia has become as much a global community as a business venture - a living organism with a mission statement to make “the sum of all human knowledge available to every person in the world.” And a conversation with co-founder Jimmy Wales - one of the architects of that philosophy and the world-changing project that has grown up around it - is full of surprises. What Wikipedia is learning has resonance for our wider public life  - about the imperfect but gratifying work of navigating truth amidst difference, ongoing learning, and dynamic belonging.

Something I've Been Meaning To Say

From Nat Bartsch Trio's 2008 self-titled release

I Think I Always Knew... - Nat Bartsch Trio

I did this in one take, recording on Audacity. My intention was to just record it and play with it to see what I could change, I ended up just making a few mistakes and I didn't know what to do to fix them.

I should really go to a recording studio and hire people that know what they are doing.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Classical Guitar

Groundbreaking Peabody Award-winning conversation about the big questions of meaning, hosted by Krista Tippett. Every Thursday a new discovery about the immensity of our lives — and frequent special features like poetry, music and Q + A with Krista.
