Noam Chomsky Teaches a MasterClass on Critical Thinking & Media Literacy

Open Culture - 21 juli 2023 - 11:00am

“We now have to decide within a couple of decades whether the human experiment is going to continue or whether it’ll go down in glorious disaster,” says Noam Chomsky in a new interview on economist Tyler Cowen’s podcast Conversations with Tyler. “That’s what we’re facing. We know answers, at least possible answers to all of the problems that face us. We’re not pursuing them.” This came in response to one of Cowen’s standard questions, about the guest’s “production function”: that is, the methods or systems the guest uses to remain productive in their work. Such a line of inquiry is especially pertinent in Chomsky’s case, given the famously intense work schedule he maintains as a public intellectual at the age of 94.

Recently, that schedule has also involved shooting a Masterclass on Independent Thinking and the Media’s Invisible Powers, whose trailer appears above. In the course\, Chomsky “explores the dark side of media,” teaching us “to cut through propaganda, defend against manipulation, and control what you consume.”

Propaganda, manipulation, and consumption are major themes of his work (one forgets that he first became well-known as a linguist), and he became popularly associated with them thanks in large part to Manufacturing Consent, the 1988 book he co-wrote with Edward S. Herman. Of course, the media landscape looked quite different 35 years ago, and this Masterclass — a class of product scarcely imaginable back then — offers him an opportunity to bring his views into the twenty-twenties.

“Social media tends to drive people into self-reinforcing bubbles,” Chomsky says in the trailer. “It’s driving people even to more extreme views.” This is the kind of lament one now hears aired three or four times before breakfast, but seldom from a figure who’s been theorizing about the underlying forces as long as Chomsky has. Social media may offer an avenue of freedom from the standard suite of top-down mainstream narratives, but it may also constitute just another “power system,” which by its very nature seeks only “control and domination.” Encouraging the habits of critical thinking needed to resist such control and domination has long been essential to Chomsky’s project. And the stakes of that project, as he’ll surely never stop seeking platforms from which to tell the world, could hardly be higher.

GWAR Performs a Tiny Desk Concert: When Heavy Metal Meets NPR

Open Culture - 21 juli 2023 - 10:00am

In February 2020, a parody news site posted the headline: “GWAR asks NPR’s Tiny Desk Staff if They’re Ready to Get Their A******* Ripped Open.” In July 2023, NPR made good on the joke, inviting the heavy metal band to perform their own tiny desk concert. NPR writes: “As the band of intergalactic monsters strapped guitars to their battle-worn bodies, thunder and rain pounded the NPR building outside. As if the late Oderus Urungus was pissing his blessing from Valhalla, the prophecy had finally been fulfilled: GWAR came to destroy the Tiny Desk once and for all.” Enjoy.

Lid algemene raad orde van advocaten trekt zich na drie weken alweer terug

Mr. Online (juridisch nieuws) - 21 juli 2023 - 9:39am

Alexander Leuftink was lid van de algemene raad sinds 30 juni. Hij zou zich onder andere gaan richten op het aandachtsgebied ‘Advocaat als mens’. Hij zou hiermee het eind vorig jaar afgetreden AR-lid Theda Boersema opvolgen.

Gisteren trok Leuftink zich terug als lid van de algemene raad, nadat de raad van discipline recent een waarschuwing aan hem had opgelegd in zijn rol als advocaat. Zijn terugtreden is in lijn met het beleid van de algemene raad dat een disciplinaire sanctie niet verenigbaar is met een bestuursfunctie bij de Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten.

Leuftink is advocaat sinds 2005 en momenteel partner bij LINK Advocaten in Amsterdam. Naast familierechtadvocaat is hij tevens scheidingsmediator en collaborative lawyer, met het accent op het internationaal privaatrecht. Tot voor kort was Leuftink voorzitter van de Specialisatievereniging van Familie- en erfrecht Advocaten Scheidingsmediators (vFAS). Ook was hij voorzitter van het Instituut voor Mediation en Familierecht Opleidingen (IMFO).

“Met Alexander Leuftink kan de algemene raad rekenen op een maatschappelijk betrokken bestuurder die zich met grote mate van kennis zal inzetten voor de advocatuur.” Met die woorden werd hij binnengehaald, nu moet de raad – die nu weer bestaat uit vijf leden – opnieuw op zoek naar een zesde lid.

In september 2018 moest ook al een lid van de algemene raad opstappen. Ruben Alderse Baas kreeg toen een waarschuwing van het hof van discipline aan zijn broek.

Het bericht Lid algemene raad orde van advocaten trekt zich na drie weken alweer terug verscheen eerst op Mr. Online.
