Since American forces left, pessimism has skyrocketed—and with good reason. Starvation is driving Afghans to sell their organs and even their children in order to eat. The artificial snow of this year’s winter Olympics is unsustainable and environmentally troubling; we meet a “snow consultant” pioneering a better way. And remembering Lata Mangeshkar, who gave voice to a newly liberated India.
Eric Scmidt has been a pioneer at every chapter of the tech revolution… from the very beginnings of the internet to helming Google for more than a decade.

His most recent book, written with Henry Kissinger and Daniel Huttenlocker, is called “The Age of AI: And our Human Future.” It investigates how AI is transforming the very foundations of what it means to be human.
Today, our quick question to Google’s former CEO is this: how long do we have until the robots take over?
The only pure play chicken wing stock, Wingstop may have the boldest goal of any fast food chain: Table-less wings.

In 1994, a German archeologist named Klaus Schmidt was investigating a site in southeastern Turkey which had been known to be a source of ancient stone tools.
What he found was far greater. His discovery totally upended the world of archeology and has changed everything we thought we knew about early human civilization.
Learn more about Göbekli Tepe and how it changed our views of early human civilization on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What were the key ideas and influences on Michel Foucault’s early career? In The Early Foucault (Polity Press, 2021),Stuart Elden, Professor of Political Theory and Geography at the University of Warwick and author of the Progressive Geographies blog, charts Foucault’s formative intellectual years leading up to the publication of the ground-breaking The History of Madness. The book uses a range of new archival material, much of which has been only recently accessible, to show the influence of teachers, mentors, and colleagues, as well as Foucault’s practice as an academic and writer during the 1950s and early 1960s. Telling the story of the possible intellectual trajectories, in psychology and philosophy, Foucault might have followed, along with a clear examination of the roots of his later work, the book is essential reading across the humanities and social sciences.
