What WorksEP 424: How the Game We Play Changes Our Work“This cancerous economic principle means that executives and venture capitalists have abandoned the concept of value within a business. Through decades of corporate greed, production has become almost entirely separated from capital, meaning that executives (and higher-ups) are no longer able to understand the nature of the businesses they are growing.”— Ed Zitron, “Absentee Capitalism”This might sound weird—but most companies today aren’t in the business it appears they’re in. Netflix isn’t really in the content business. Facebook isn’t in the social media business. Etsy isn’t in the handmade marketplace business...

They are owed more arguments, further justification. They are experts, and they aren’t sure you are. In the first of our Clayman Conversations Online, journalist Nhi Le and scholar Moira Weigel will discuss online debate culture from a feminist perspective. Is the demand for free and open debate online really as neutral as it often presents itself? How are dominant power structures replicated or challenged in online debate culture?

Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung AudiodokumentationenThe New Tech Worker MovementDiscussion with Moira Weigel and Ben Tarnoff (writers and co-founders of Logic Magazine) and Ines Schwerdtner (Jacobin Magazine author and podcaster at halbzehn.fm).
Silicon Valley is commonly portrayed as the epicentre of innovation. A place packed with start-up nerds, neoliberal workaholics, and brilliant freethinkers designing the technologies to save us all (and becoming billionaires in the process). The “Californian Ideology” implies that the internet is always and everywhere a force for good and that all of those industry “creatives” and “entrepreneurs” are driven solely by their passion and purpose. Like Steve Jobs once said, they do what they love.

海马星球 Seahorse Planet当真爱来到中国中国人，至少还有日本人，在19世纪之前是不会说“我爱你”的。
他们会说风清水媚，月色美好，思念远人，“我可以为你去死”，等等，但“爱”这个一对一的、在两个独立个体之间的概念，却是个相对新鲜的东西。
本期海马星球请到了在香港大学教授性别研究与宗教学的郭婷，跟我们探讨了现代的“爱”在中国的演变过程，它如何从传统社会中解放了女性，却又在现代家庭中遮蔽了对女性的奴役。
我们还谈到了英国演员卷福为男女演员同工同酬做出的仗义之举，和《权力的游戏》里复杂的女性角色。
节目中提到的人名、著作和节目等：
艾伦·图灵（1912年6月23日－1954年6月7日）：英国数学家、逻辑学家，被称为计算机科学之父，人工智能之父。因同性恋倾向而被英国政府迫害。

In the BalanceLove at WorkMany people meet their future love partner at work. But with the current high profile cases of sexual harassment, employers are becoming much more concerned about managing relationships between their employees. Ed Butler asks whether office dating between co-workers is a potential hazard, not just for staff, but for the company as a whole. And should more employers bring in so-called "love contracts" to be signed by workers who are in a romantic relationship in the office?

Bitch MediaRedefining DatingHow many more trend pieces can you stomach on the theme of "Millennials Killed Traditional Dating"? There's this idea in our culture that this generation has fundamentally changed dating—for the worse. That we’re getting away from “traditional” dating and into some terrible uncharted waters. But a look at the history of dating shows one thing loud and clear: every generation has redefined dating. The idea that there’s a “traditional” kind of dating that’s stayed true for 100 years until the internet burned romance to the ground is just… a myth. Instead, with each new generation, new technological changes, evolving gen...

TownhallReview CommentaryAlbert Mohler: That “Flickering” on the Ultrasound ScreenLast week, writing at The Atlantic, Moira Weigel asserted that ultrasound technology has been used by pro-life politicians to deceptively suggest that the fetus is a person.
Weigel even suggests that a baby’s heartbeat visible on an ultrasound is not really a heartbeat at all, but merely “a flickering that takes place between 120 and 160 times per minute on a black-and-white playback screen.”
Sean Davis, of The Federalist, rightly responds, “Like most treatises from abortion activists about how babies aren’t real people, Weigel’s comes across more as a sad attempt to convince herself than a credible attempt to convince her...

Im 21. Jahrhundert aber gestalten wir den Prozess des Kennenlernens immer effektiver. Fragt sich nur, ob wir damit auch die Romantik killen? Warum Dating immer auch Emanzipation ist, weshalb das Date so eine wichtige Rolle im Kapitalismus einnimmt, was das alles mit unserer Arbeitswelt und der Sprache des Neoliberalismus zu tun hat und wieso wir Tinder & Co. eine „Revolution von unten“ zu verdanken haben, das erklärt die Historikerin Moira Weigel im Interview.
