Kur Kardinali Jorge Mario Bergoglio u zgjodh Papë në vitin 2013, shumë liberalë kishin pritshmëri të larta. A do të lejoheshin priftërinjtë të martoheshin? Apo, edhe më radikale akoma, ndoshta ai do të hapte një rrugë që gratë që të shuguroheshin? Madje, pati disa aludime se ai mund të njihte bashkimet e të njëjtit seks.

In the latest episode of Lives Well Lived, the podcast I co-host with Kasia de Lazari-Radek, we talk to Anna Lembke, professor of psychiatry at Stanford University and author of Dopamine Nation, about the science of addiction, the role of dopamine in pleasure and motivation, and how modern society encourages compulsive overconsumption.

Since ancient times, thinkers have asked whether we freely choose what we do or if our actions are determined by forces beyond our control. That debate has been given new impetus by scientific discoveries that have advanced our understanding of the causes of our behaviour. Robert Sapolsky, a Stanford University neuroscientist and recent guest on the podcast “Lives Well Lived", which I co-host with the Polish philosopher Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, is one of these science-based determinists.

In the latest episode of Lives Well Lived, the podcast I co-host with Kasia de Lazari-Radek, we talk to Robert Sapolsky, the renowned neuroscientist, primatologist, and author, to discuss his groundbreaking research on stress and what we can learn from baboons about human behavior, as well as his controversial recent book arguing that free will is an illusion, and that in a deep sense, we are not morally responsible for our actions.

Donald Trump has wasted no time clarifying what “America First” – the dominant idea driving his election campaign – means in practice. So far, it means a 90-day freeze on most foreign aid spending, as well as the withdrawal of the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris climate agreement. The ostensible purpose of the foreign aid freeze is to review the efficacy of US programmes.

Donald Trump no ha trigat gens a deixar clar què significa a la pràctica “Amèrica primer”, la idea dominant que va impulsar la seva campanya electoral. Fins ara significa una congelació de 90 dies de la majoria de la despesa en ajuda exterior, així com la retirada dels Estats Units de l’Organització Mundial de la Salut (OMS) i l’Acord de París per afrontar el canvi climàtic. El propòsit evident de la congelació de l’ajuda exterior és revisar l’eficàcia dels programes dels EUA.
