    The History of Bad Ideas: Overdiagnosis

    We come to the end of this series of bad ideas with a conversation with neurologist Suzanne O’Sullivan about the problems of living in an age of diagnosis, when all medical conditions need a label and new labels appear all the time. What happens when the classification criteria for conditions like autism and ADHD get broader and broader? Are doctors or patients driving this? When does predictive testing do more harm than good? Why does advocacy for sufferers get in the way of good health? Is de-diagnosis achievable?

And, why is he also such a controversial figure…? Join Tom and Dominic as they sail into the remarkable life and adventures of Sir Francis Drake.

    The Odyssey #12: King Alcinous throws a feast

    Mary and Charlotte launch into Book 8 to find Odysseus still at the Phaeacian palace. King Alcinous has promised to help Odysseus get home, but first - there’s going to be another feast. A bard is brought out who massively fails to read the room by singing about a huge row Odysseus once had with Achilles - which causes Odysseus to burst into tears (to be fair: Odysseus still hasn’t revealed his name, so the bard wasn’t to know!) Alcinous comes to the rescue by shutting the bard up and proposes a sporting competition instead. Odysseus asks to abstain - he just wants to go home - but a local noble called Euryalus taunts him, saying he’s making excuses because he’s hopeless at sports. Justifiably riled, Odysseus grabs a discus and… slays all Phaeacian records. He goes on to proclaim his talent in any number of sporting and fighting techniques. Alcinous, worrying that his party is going awry again, decides to bring the bard back to have another go. And on the cliffhanger of a bard’s song, Mary and Charlotte park the second half of Book 8 until next time.

  • C6 - Iluminismul

    12/08/2024

    C6 - Iluminismul

    În acest episod din Istoria Complementară a României, vorbesc despre curentul Iluminist. Începând de la primele zbateri ale metodei științifice, prin filosofie, matematică, istorie, antropologie, economie, politică și alte noi discipline, Iluminismul stă la baza societății moderne. Și dacă nu mă credeți, ascultați episodul și apoi uitați-vă în jur. În orice aspect al vieții voastre de zi cu zi, veți găsi cel puțin un element al Iluminismului. Fie că deschideți televizorul și se discută despre politică, sau vă uitați pur și simplu în portofel, fie că ați "chiulit" de la ultima duminică la biserică sau ați văzut o dramă cu avocați din Statele Unite pe Netflix... undeva, pe undeva, vă afectează iluminiștii. La 6 luni după încheierea podcastului "Istoria României", am decis să public episoadele seriei complementare, disponibile inițial doar pe Patreon. Acesta este al treilea episod al seriei, înregistrat inițial în aprilie 2022. Capitolele acestui episod, pentru platformele care nu suportă funcționalitatea în mod direct: 1. Introducere: 0:00 -- ce e un curent filosofic și de ce oamenii tind să gândească la fel 2. Recapitulare grosieră a evenimentelor de până acum: 3:37 -- precursorii Iluminismului, cum a schimbat Renașterea arta, primele idei centrate pe individ 3. Trei personaje ale secolului al XVI-lea: 9:47 -- Giordano Bruno (o legendă demontată a științei), Galileo Galilei și Francis Bacon (începuturile metodei științifice, cum distingem adevărul de coincidență?) 4. Ce e un “Iluminism”? 17:59 -- câteva definiții 5. René Descartes 21:14 -- tatăl filosofiei moderne, de la o viață destrăbălată la mare reformator al filosofiei, "Discursul" 6. Cartezieni și anti-cartezieni 29:19 -- Hobbes, Locke, Pascal, Malebranche și opinii pro/contra filosofiei lui Descartes. Ideile despre intelect, materie, empirism, libertate și societate, rațiune. Pariul lui Pascal. 7. Baruch Spinoza 37:20 -- Biblia și știința separate, visul introvertiților și schimbarea de mentalitate față de "cei diferiți". Leibniz și Berkeley (băgați la pachet pe capitolul lui Spinoza). 8. Noua istorie și noua economie 45:02 -- David Hume și prima lucrare de istorie devenită best-seller și carte de căpătâi. Sentimentul anti-religios: Gibbon și "Istoria Declinului și a prăbușirii Imperiului Roman". Istoria alternativă: istoria științelor, a literaturii. Nu mai există "bine" și nici "rău". Economia lui Adam Smith: "Avuția națiunilor" și fundamentele pieței libere. Excesul și munca, utilitatea, competiția, monopolul. 9. “Generația de Aur” a Iluminismului francez 53:47 -- Pierre Bayle. Montesquieu: spiritul legilor, fundamentele separării puterilor în stat, aportul personal în istorie, suprimarea "stărilor" medievale, fondarea antropologiei, studiul climei ca factor în dezvoltarea societății. Sclavia. Voltaire: deghizarea filosofiei sub formă literară. "Inventarea" lui Dumnezeu. 10. Rebelul 1:03:00 -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau: viața contrară normelor, certurile cu Voltaire, certurile cu toată lumea, "Rousseau cel iresponsabil" 11. Iluminismul german 1:06:21 -- Wolff. Kant: rigurozitatea, împotriva existenței lui Dumnezeu, sistemul "rațiunii pure", pacea perpetuă, binele din convingere, teoriile rasiste și "ascunderea" lor 12. Iluminismul politic 1:12:44 - starea naturală a omului: bună sau rea? instituțiile: bune sau rele? modelul contractului social, nesupunerea civică, datoriile și obligațiile unui cetățean, democrația reprezentativă, garanțiile sociale, fără drept divin pentru suverani, proprietatea privată, separarea bisericii de stat, acordul tacit pentru a trăi în societate, sistemul "zeilor" lui Rousseau, "despotul luminat" 13. Pe cine am uitat? 1:27:31 -- mențiuni, concluzii, aplicabilitate Support the show

    #103 - Caligula: putere, depravare, abuz, și un pic de calomnie istorică

    Continuăm seria dedicată principatului roman cu urmașul lui Tiberius Caligula. După ce se folosește de ajutorul lui Macro, șeful gărzii pretoriene, Gaius Caligula preia conducerea oferind Romei jumătate de an de bucurie și trei ani de groază. Caligula e o poreclă pe care o purta micul Gaius, fiul lui Germanicus, în timp ce îl plimba tatăl lui în campanie în Germania, printre legiuni, unde devenise mascota unității - nimeni nu ar fi avut curajul să-i spună tânărului Gaius astfel în timpul principatului său.
