Metal im Blut: Doro Pesch unterstützt Wacken-Blutspende am UKD

"Eine super Aktion! Zusammenhalt und Unterstützung: Genau das macht ja die Metal-Community aus. Und genau darum geht es auch in der Blutspende: Mit geringem Aufwand kann man Leben retten. Und jeder von uns kann einmal auf eine Blutspende angewiesen sein. Und die offiziellen Blood-Sponsor-T-Shirts des Wacken Open Airs sind da sicher eine weitere Motivation. Denn kaufen man die nicht“, so Doro Pesch bei Ihrem Besuch in der Düsseldorfer Uniklinik.

Αugmented Nature

About: “The rate of extinction is about a thousand times what it used to be before humans. One species goes extinct every 5 minutes. Over the past 30 years 75% of all insects went extinct. 95% of all large predatory fish that roamed the seas are now gone. It probably comes as no surprise we are living in the 6th mass extinction. The big difference with the previous five is that this one is induced by humans.

Let’s make private data into a public good

Article by Mariana Mazzucato: “The internet giants depend on our data. A new relationship between us and them could deliver real value to society….We should ask how the value of these companies has been created, how that value has been measured, and who benefits from it. If we go by national accounts, the contribution of internet platforms to national income (as measured, for example, by GDP) is represented by the advertisement-related services they sell. But does that make sense?

Artificial Intelligence

How To Use Bureaucracies

In particular, it’s necessary to create a bureaucracy when you are both (a) trying to do something that you do not have the capacity to do on your own, and (b) unable to find a competent, aligned person to handle the project for you.
