New Earth Charter Podcast Episode with Brian Swimme! I hope many people will enjoy listening to Brian and feel inspired. Brian Swimme has taught evolutionary cosmology to graduate students in philosophy, cosmology, and consciousness for years. He contributed to the drafting of the Earth Charter over 25 years ago and is the author of many books, such as 'The Universe is a Green Dragon' (1984), 'The Universe Story' (1992), and 'Cosmogenesis' (published in 2022). I vividly recall reading 'The Universe is a Green Dragon' during the Easter holiday in 2011; that book sparked awe and sensitivity in me. In this conversation, which I encourage you to listen to, use, and share with others, I had the opportunity to ask him to discuss key ideas found in his books, on evolutionary cosmology, and why learning the Universe Story can help us better understand who we are and with that change the way we relate with “others”…"

🎧 We have Foundation Models of the Earth, "so what?" Our Ben Strong answers this and more in the latest episode of the Minds Behind Maps podcast. Listen to hear more about #EarthIndex, the driving force across our work, and translating data ➡ impact. Thanks Maxime Lenormand for an engaging conversation! ____ 📍 "We’re really focused on that gap between foundation models and impact. How do you translate the output of foundation models into something that is usable, and used, and that’s going to drive real decision-making? That’s where we have the most experience and expertise." ✅ "The philosophy of Earth Index is to draw in local expertise and downstream users as much as possible, for data to be as relevant as possible for that user. We think that's an opportunity for data to be more accurate and more likely to be used." https://lnkd.in/eVuxVrEP

We have big news! We have a new website and our newsletter is back up and running and just went out 5 mins ago! We bring you history's most notorious disasters and epic failures twice a week - wherever you listen to podcasts! https://lnkd.in/gFFmnGkN Sign up for the newsletter here - https://lnkd.in/gqePrwht New Episodes this month! Opium Wars: Travel to China with us to learn how the East India Company made a lot of shady money (and made some people insanely rich) smuggling Opium from India to China in the late 1880s! John Norman Collins: Michigan’s own serial killer, John Norman Collins, is not as famous as some of the heavy hitters, but maybe he deserves to be—regular reminder to never, ever hitchhike. Juicero: A more recent tragedy, learn about the start-up that promised the freshest juice possible — except, it didn’t really DO anything. It's not like that stopped it from raising millions and millions of dollars in venture capital money, of course. Andrew Jackson: A casual series on Bad Presidents begins with the murder of Andrew Jackson. His opponents literally made up fliers with coffins on them to make their point. We also make the same point: he was dangerous. The Olympics Part 1: A true series begins with the Ancient Origins of the Olympics! What was this festival for Zeus really about? Why did it end & who was Pierre de Coubertin, the mustachioed Frenchman who brought them back? Operation Pastorius: Come to the shores of the United States East Coast during WWII for the day that Germans actually showed up! They made mistakes the entire time and were quickly caught, but they GOT here via Uboat, which is wild. Space Mistakes: We covered a few times when a measurement was off by the teeniest tiniest measurement, and it cost NASA millions of dollars and countless man-hours. By the time you’re reading this, are the Astronauts stuck on the International Space Station still there? The Olympics Part 2: Speaking of WWII, we head to Berlin in 1936 for the Olympics that Hitler thought would prove German dominance to the world. He was of course, wrong, and no more wrong then the incredible story of Jesse Owens and his four Gold Medals.
