Perspectives On A Progressive Future —
22 Dec 2012 —
Tony Greenham says that although money is a potent force in society, its real nature confuses almost everyone. Money is a social relationship, he argues, nothing more. ~~ Then Jason Farbman presents a nuanced analysis of the social function of NGOs, attempting to explain why so many people try to fulfill their highest ambitions to change society by working for progressive foundations, only to discover that all is not well with the foundations. Notably: Why, when so much money is given out by NGOs for progressive causes, are they so ineffective at actually effecting social change?

Can the Humans Find a Way to Store Nuclear Waste? —
30 Dec 2012—
Arnie Gundersen discusses long term storage of nuclear waste in the US and throughout the world. There simply is no sure solution to keep this material out of the biosphere for hundreds of thousands of years. Gundersen notes that nuclear advocates claim it is possible to store nuclear waste forever, while at the same time claiming that no technology exists to store electricity generated from solar or wind overnight! Gundersen notes that it is much simpler to store electricity overnight than to guarantee safe nuclear storage for longer than the human race has existed.

Mechanically Tenderized Meat—A New Frontier in Pathogen Problems —
14 Dec 2012—
To make cheaper cuts of beef less tough, processors mechanically tenderize the beef with small needles or blades. Sarah Klein from the Center for Science in the Public Interest worries that the practice can insert dangerous pathogens like E-coli into the interior of the meat, which, depending on how you cook your steak, may not get hot enough to kill the germs. But Christy Bratcher, professor of meat science at Auburn University and spokesperson for the meat industry on the issue, says mechanically tenderized beef is safe as long as it is cooked to appropriate temperatures.

Electric Sun—A New Physics Dawns —
06 Dec 2012 —
David Talbott explains why many measurable characteristics of the sun simply don't stack up against the standard "fusion furnace" model of the sun. Such characteristics are, however, consistent with an "electric sun" model—that is, a model of the sun (and the universe) based on electromagnetism. In the first half of the clip, Talbott examines the strangely patterned surface features of Mars, which are well explained by solar-driven electrical etching; and then broadens the conversation to cover the sun itself and other cosmology.

Ward Churchill: A Little Matter of Genocide —
05 Dec 2012—
In the US, framing what happened to Native Americans as a genocide is like shooting a flaming arrow into a group of circled intellectual wagons. But Ward Churchill reminds us about the importance of knowing history: "We've got an entire society here that, with its own collaboration, quells certain knowledge that would disrupt its very convenient scenarios of what it wants to be by denying what it has been. And so we punch holes into the domes of false reality that have been constructed to shield the society from an understanding of itself."
