			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8222;Corporations are devices created by humans to <em>maximize  profit</em>. [...] This is not a bug. This is <em>a feature</em>.&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>In context:<br />
&#8222;This is what companies do.  Judging corporations for trying to  lower their taxes or evade regulations that might hurt their bottom line  is like scolding a hawk for eating a mouse.  It‘s like fining a boxer  for punching someone.  It‘s like being mad at a Tampa, Florida, death  metal band for singing about corpses.</p>
<p>Corporations are devices created by humans to maximize profit.</p>
<p>This is what corporations do.  This is not a bug.  This is a  feature.</p>
<p>This is what they do.</p>
<p>Don‘t be mad at companies for pretending they‘re Swiss when they‘re  not just to avoid taxes.  Don‘t be mad at corporations for pretending  they‘re from the Marshall Islands to avoid their ships being inspected  by someone they‘re not paying.  Don‘t be mad at corporations for trying  to evade responsibility when they caused disasters.</p>
<p>If you want them to not do those things, don‘t bother being mad at  them, they‘re doing what they‘re designed to do.  If you want them to  not do those things, you have to stop them from doing those thing—or  not, if you‘re, say, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.<br />
<span id="more-50"></span><br />
You might remember the first day that we were broadcasting down in  the Gulf after the spill, doing the show from there, we had on  Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey to talk about the fact  that since the Exxon Valdez oil spill, there‘s been a $75 million cap on  what oil companies have to pay in damages after a spill &#8212; $75 million.   That‘s it.  That was exhausted in about the first three seconds of  this current disaster in the gulf.</p>
<p>We talked with Senator Menendez that night about his proposal to  raise that damages cap from $75 million to $10 billion.  That proposal  was blocked in the Senate yesterday by Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski  from Alaska.  Her explanation?  She said raising that dollar amount of  damages that oil companies would be responsible for in the event of a  spill would mean that only the, quote, “biggest of the big oil companies  could drill for America‘s offshore resources.”</p>
<p>Think about that argument for a second.  She‘s saying making  companies responsible for a bigger proportion of the damage they cause  when things go wrong would, what, prevent more companies from  potentially creating offshore oil spills?  Mom-and-pop companies, really  &#8212; even small businesses should be able to create really large offshore  oil spill that‘s cause more than $75 million in damages.  She wants to  make sure anybody can do the drilling, even if they can‘t necessarily  pay for it if something goes horribly wrong.</p>
<p>So if something does go horribly wrong, which does from time to time  happen, Senator Murkowski wants to make sure that the oil companies  will not have to pay.  The taxpayers will.&#8220;</p>
<p>Full transcript of the show in question can be read here:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s been quite some scandals in the political and public sphere recently; good old adultery actually being among the more harmless.</p>
<p>But where there are severe personal failures there&#8217;s also a need for adequate euphemisms to attenuate the gravity of the incident.—And, of course, mockery by hypocrites like myself.</p>
<p>Therefore the <a title="The Huffington Post" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a> has posted an educational video which can be found here:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BEST JOB NUMBERS SINCE THE RECESSION BEGAN&#8230;. Waiting for the monthly job numbers to be released this morning, I saw the New York Times homepage run a headline that said the &#8222;economy shed 11,000 jobs in November.&#8220; I assumed, in all sincerity, it was a typo.</p>
<p>After all, there were plenty of estimates on what to expect. The most optimistic number I saw was 130,000 job losses; the most pessimistic was 169,000 job losses. A total of 11,000 losses just didn&#8217;t seem realistic.</p>
<p>And yet, that&#8217;s what happened.</p>
<p>The United States economy shed a surprisingly few 11,000 jobs in November, and the unemployment rate fell to 10 percent, from 10.2 percent in October, the Labor Department said Friday. [...]</p>
<p>The pace of job loss has been declining since a peak in January, and some economists say they expect a turning point to come in the late spring or summer, with employers finally adding workers as a recovery takes hold.</p>
<p>The Bureau of Labor Statistics also revised estimates from September and October, and both were better than previously thought.</p>
<p>To put last month&#8217;s numbers in the larger context, since the recession began two years ago this month, the single &#8222;best&#8220; month for the job market was January 2008, when the economy shed 72,000 jobs. Last month, then, was easily the best month since the start of the recession.</p>
<p>Of course, losing any jobs is bad news, and it&#8217;s hard to smile too much with 23 consecutive months in which the economy has lost jobs. To get back to a healthy employment landscape, the economy is going to have to not just climb back above 0, but also start creating about 140,000 jobs per month. We&#8217;re quite a ways from that level.</p>
<p>But today&#8217;s news is nevertheless the most encouraging we&#8217;ve seen in a long time. The unemployment rate has dropped, and the monthly report far exceeded expectations.</p>
<p>Once more, here&#8217;s my homemade chart, showing job losses by month, starting in January 2008, a month after the recession began.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_12/021288.php"><img src='http://svenoliverspiess.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/jobs_nov.png?w=500' alt='' /></a></p>
<p>Notice how small that bar is on the far-right side of the chart? Does it seem hard to see? That&#8217;s a good thing.</p>

<p>Im Independent ist ein interessanter Artikel über die Zusammenhänge zwischen geistiger Krankheit und Kreativität erschienen. Was ist also dran am Klischee über den &#8222;verrückten Professor&#8220;?<br />
Das bemerkenswerte an diesem Artikel ist weniger die Schlussfolgerung, <em>dass</em> es Zusammenhänge zwischen milden Psychopathologien und überdurchschnittlicher Kreativität gibt, sondern die <em>Idee dass spezifische Störungen mit Kreativität in bestimmten Bereichen einher gehen</em>. So sind beispielsweise autistische Züge förderlicher für mathematische Kreativität denn für künstlerische, welche sich wiederum eher aus schizoiden Eigenschaften speisen kann.</p>
<p>Den ganzen Artikel gibt es unter folgendem Link:<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/features/creative-minds-the-links-between-mental-illness-and-creativity-1678929.html"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Das Merchandise ein wichtiges Instrument kapitalistischer Wirtschaft ist, ist ja spätestens seit dem Film &#8222;Spaceballs&#8220; kein Geheimnis mehr.</p>
<p>Zu einiger Ironie schließt das auch kommunistische Ikonen mit ein. So wurde bereits das berühmte Che Guevara Portrait zu einem der weltweit am meist verbreiteten &#8222;Markenzeichen&#8220;. Eine neue Stilblüte in diesem Zusammenhang ist nun offenbar &#8222;Karl Marx&#8211;Das Musical &#8222;, welches einem Bericht der BBC zufolge ab nächstem Jahr von der Chinesischen Regierung in Shanghai inszeniert werden soll.</p>
<p>Den ausführlichen Bericht der BBC gibt es hier:<br />
<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7958913.stm">BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | China plans a Karl Marx musical</a></p>
<p>Mögen die herrschenden Klassen vor einer kommunistischen Rev<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">olution</span>ue zittern. Die Proletarier haben nichts in ihr zu verlieren als ihre Ketten. Sie haben eine Welt zu gewinnen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mein gegenwaertiger Lieblingscomic im WWW ist <a href="http://xkcd.com/">xkcd.com</a>. Die Comics sind alle ziemlich &#8222;nerdy&#8220; wie man hier sagen wuerde. (Was waere eigentlich eine gute Uebersetzung dafuer? &#8222;Streber&#8220; trifft es m. E. am ehesten, aber betont nicht genug den eigenartig-verschrobenen Aspekt) Das kommt daher, dass sie stets irgenwelche mehr oder minder obskuren Anspielungen auf Informatik, Mathematik oder andere (Natur-)Wissenschaften machen.&#8211;Ist eine wahre Fundgrube fuer Lehrmaterialen und Praesentationen *hint, hint*.</p>
<p>Heute bin ich auf eine hoffnungslos romantische Ausgabe gestossen, die so wunderbar arglos und naiv ist, dass ich sie einfach hier posten muss!</p>
<p>Bestens SOS</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Der eine oder die andere hat es vielleicht gehoert. Ich hab&#8217; die Nachricht zufaellig im Radio mitbekommen: George W. Bush malt im Zusammenhang mit dem Atomstreit mit dem Iran munter einen Dritten Weltkrieg an die Wand.</p>
<p>Nicht nur, dass dies in dieser Form erst einmal recht absurd scheint ist das auch ein vollkommen unangebrachtes und kontraproduktives Vorgehen des mutmasslich maechtigsten Mannes der Welt.</p>
<p><span id="more-13"></span></p>
<p>Von Spannungsabbau und Diplomatie mal wieder keine, aber auch gar keine Spur. Statt dessen Greift the kleine Mann aus Texas wieder einmal tief in the demagogische Trickkiste und schuert Aengste um unser aller Leben. Wer um Weltfrieden besorgt sei, muesse diese Bedrohung ernst nehmen und sich fuer einen atomwaffenfreien Iran einsetzen. (Das Interview des Praesidenten findet sich <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqDy6H1bEQs" title="Bush Interview ueber potentziellen Dritten Weltkrieg" target="_blank">hier</a>)</p>
<p>Kling alles sehr nach &#8222;Ich sag&#8217;s ja nur!&#8220;. Damit mich keiner falsch versteht: Ahmadinejad ist ein gefaehrlicher und moeglicherweise ernsthaft psychotischer Mann. Ohne Frage bin auch fuer einen atomwaffenfreien Iran! Ich gehe sogar noch weiter. Ein effektiver globaler Atomwaffensperrvertrag wuerde die Erde einen bedeutend sichereren Platz machen. Damit kaemen wir dem Weltfrieden einen grossen Schritt naeher. Aber zugegebenermassen ist das Wunschdenken. Allerdings sehen hier die Befuerworter von Kernwaffen mal wieder wie leicht das stets gepriesene Gleichgewicht aus dem Ruder laeuft. Dieses System mag in einem Gleichgewicht sein, aber eben in einem instabilen. Und waehrend nun alle mit dem Iran abgelenkt sind ist es doch nur eine Frage der Zeit bis mal wieder ein Nord-Korea oder Pakistan entsprechende Anlaeufe unternimmt. Und was die Verfuegbarkeit von Drohmitteln bewirkt wissen die Sozialpsychologen ja auch spaetestens seit dem <a href="http://www.dushkin.com/connectext/psy/ch15/prison.mhtml" target="_blank" title="trucking game">trucking game</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://svenoliverspiess.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/smart_bombs.thumbnail.jpg?w=500" alt="our bombs are smarter than our president" align="left" />Die Frage ist also nicht ob, sondern wie dies am besten zu bewerkstelligen sei. Und da Versagt das gegenwaertige Vorgehen auf ganzer Linie. &#8222;Ich moechte den Druck so hoch wie moeglich halten.&#8220; Wie es ein demokratischer Abgeordneter auf den Punkt bringt: &#8222;Es gibt keinen drohenden Dritten Weltkrieg.&#8211;Es sei denn wir machen ihn.&#8220; (Die Rede gibt&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_iG-IBG7h4" target="_blank" title="Abgeordneter Wes Clark ueber die Relevanz eines Dritten Weltkrieges">hier</a>.) Ich moechte mir ja auch gar nicht anmassen es besser zu koennen. Aber genau deshalb mische ich auch nicht in der internationalen Politik mit! Und mich stoert auch die Art wie wieder einmal mit schmutzigen Tricks und Gefuehlsduselei agiert wird. Denn Denken das macht mued.</p>
<p>Aber das braucht man ja auch nur fuer diejenigen, welche ueberhaupt potentiell subversiv zu denken anfangen koennten. Auf CNN, dem nach eigenen Angaben &#8222;most trusted name in news&#8220; (der meist vertraute Name in Nachrichten),  kommt unterdessen ein Bericht ueber eine Tankstellen-Schiesserei und dem Geburtstag der aeltesten Bloggerin der Welt. Dritter Weltkrieg? Zumindest in den Nachrichten ist die Welt scheinbar noch in Ordnung.</p>
<p>Und ich sitze hier noch bis Februar fest und frage mich nur: &#8222;Was habe ich mir nur bei der Entscheidung gedacht hier her zu kommen?&#8220; Aber zu meiner Rechtfertigung vor mir selbst, kann ich mich damit troesten, dass die Mehrheit der AmerikanerInnen ja fuer einen anderen Praesidenten gestimmt hatten.</p>
<p>Fuer heute lasse ich es damit gut sein.<br />
Waer doch eigentlich auch ein guter Post fuer die Rubrik &#8222;<a href="http://sewenz.wordpress.com/amerikanische-zustande/" target="_blank">Amerikanische Zustaende</a>&#8220; in <a href="http://sewenz.wordpress.com/" title="Sebastians Blog" target="_blank">Sebastians Blog</a>.</p>
