Biohackers, the man who lost the names of colors, territories purchased, how to become a Superman, and much, much more, only in Recommended Links. Plenty to read, plenty to see, so many things to marvel at.
In this simple way, Google could incline you to vote for a certain political party: "Since Cambridge Analytica we know to what extent we can be manipulated through social networks or search engines using our personal data and our online behavior as the most accurate psychological analysis system. However, to incline a mass of people to decide electorally for one political option or another does not require great strategies, but simple changes in the results of a search engine like Google, as this 2015 study showed."
The patient who lost the names of colors: "In February 2014, patient RDS (whose initials are all that are known for privacy reasons) suffered an ischemia in the left posterior artery of his brain that caused a series of sequelae. The man, 54 years old, of Portuguese origin and residing in France, lost the ability to read words and numbers, which forced him to leave his job, but he also presented a less frequent peculiarity: when he was shown something yellow, blue or red, he was unable to name the object's color."
Chernobyl (the series), seen by a nuclear engineer: "Of course, we are not going to try to explain every detail of the highly recommended five chapters of the series, nor will we analyze the licenses that the script allows itself to compose an addictive and overwhelming story in equal parts. At Jóvenes Nucleares we have more than ten years of experience explaining, in each and every one of our basic nuclear science and technology courses, the Chernobyl accident, so the best way we have found to evaluate the technical credibility of the series is to know whether it responds or not to the five questions that we consider essential to present in our talks."
A ghost in the darkness, the glow of white owls paralyzes their prey: "What is the reason for this pigmentation and what evolutionary implications does it have? This was the starting point of the team of researchers led by Alexandre Roulin and Luis San José, who have discovered that this white color of the known 'barn owls' not only is not a problem, but favors them on moonlit nights compared to the more reddish owls."
How to know if the rock you found is a meteorite: "Although these are relatively rare on Earth, it is not impossible that you could find one in nature. However, you will want to be sure that what you have found is truly a stone or a rock containing iron of cosmic origin and not just a piece of any terrestrial material. You can observe some physical and visual marks that are common in meteorites to determine if the rock you have found really has an extraterrestrial origin."
The depraved adventurer who bought a girl to see how cannibals devoured her: "It is then that Jameson tells the interpreter that he would love to see the cannibals of the area in action. And it occurs to him to buy a human being and thus satisfy his curiosity (and incidentally, the hunger of some). He acquires a ten-year-old girl for ten handkerchiefs and sends Farran – who would later be the main witness for the prosecution – to offer her to the cannibals: 'This is a gift from the white man, who wishes to see her devoured'."
The last territories that were bought in the world: "Land purchases are common (a South Korean company owns half of Madagascar's arable land, for example), but exchanges of territories for cash are a thing of the past. So much so that it has been more than sixty years since the last time it happened, and it has happened less than a dozen times in the last two centuries. Let's review the list of the last territories that transferred their sovereignty in exchange for a handful of bills."
Classic B-movie science fiction in Public Domain: "Among these titles are films that enjoyed considerable commercial success or even became cult films like 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' (1956), 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' (1959), or 'The Little Shop of Horrors' (1960), although also productions that went practically unnoticed at the time, being habitually ignored by critics."
World War I, 25 facts you probably didn't know: "World War I has been one of the darkest periods in history. The conflict was promoted by both sides as the war that would end all wars; discover events and facts you may not have known."
The secret of those who are fine with less than six hours of sleep: "The researcher took blood samples from the whole family looking for the peculiarity that allowed the two women to sleep less than their relatives. The answer seemed to be in a mutation of the DEC2 gene that they possessed and that the relatives with a conventional sleep pattern lacked. On average, those with the mutation slept 6.25 hours a day compared to 8.06 hours for those without it."
Friedrich Nietzsche's guide to becoming a Superman: "Nietzsche's superman concentrates the German philosopher's conception of a man of transcendence, who overcomes himself and human nature. In essence, a superman is one who has overcome the slavery of the human condition and has reached a true state of freedom: of free play and creativity. In this state, of individual purity, the individual has discharged and got rid of all influences: social, ecclesiastical, literary, doctrinal authorities, etc.; also the influence of any person."
Biohackers create a low-cost copy of the world's most expensive drug: "The biohacker from South Bend (USA) Gabriel Licina details: '[The compound] was developed in a warehouse in Mississippi, in a storage facility in Florida, in a bedroom in Indiana (all in the US) and on a computer in Austria.' He highlights that creating the prototype of this gene therapy cost just over 6,000 euros. Experts consulted on this biohacking project are divided."
