From Wealth Supremacy to Community Wealth Building: Models for Democratizing the Economy
Today’s corporate, capitalist economy is radically unequal, ecologically unsustainable, and embedded in recurring boom-and-bust cycles of crisis. Not surprisingly, people are looking for alternatives. What if, instead of tweaking the system to reduce the damage, we reorganized entirely so that both local and national economies produced better outcomes for people, communities and the planet in the first place?  That’s the essence of community wealth building, the focus of this episode with guest host Laura Flanders, featuring Democracy Collaborative Distinguished Senior Fellow, Marjorie Kelly; Preston City Council Member, Matthew Brown in the UK; and community wealth building adviser to the Scottish Government, Neil McInroy. This episode is part 2 of a 4-part series exploring how communities are working to transform their local economies by harnessing their assets, anchoring capital and resources locally to directly invest in that place and its people – from land to money and finance.

Fighting for Horseshoe Crab Mass Beach Orgies
We're leading 22 ally groups in petitioning NOAA Fisheries to protect American horseshoe crabs under the Endangered Species Act. Horseshoe crab populations have crashed because of habitat loss and overharvesting. They’re killed en masse for use as bait and taken from the wild to be drained of their blue blood, which the biomedical industry uses to detect toxins (even though a synthetic alternative exists). Known for their massive beach orgies along the Atlantic Coast each spring, horseshoe crabs are brown, body-armored arthropods with 10 eyes and long, spiked tails. Learn more about our fight: https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/endangered-species-act-protections-sought-for-american-horseshoe-crabs-2024-02-12/ This video was featured in our Endangered Earth newsletter, issue 1,232 (Feb. 14, 2024): https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/publications/earthonline/endangered-earth-online-no1232.html ----- About the Center: The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.

That’s Wild: Why Flying Froglets Impersonate Poop
You may have heard of insects who masquerade as poop to keep predatory birds at bay. Well, some frogs do it too. But are they successful? Researchers recently set out to discover how well fecal camo works for young Wallace’s flying frogs in South Pacific jungles. The team painted hundreds of wax froglets in different colors schemes: some red, some green, and some — like the real froglets — red with white splotches, much like the droppings of Southeast Asian fruit-eating birds. The splotched fakes got attacked half as often as the pure red ones. According to the study, grossing out birds may be what lets young frogs grow up to be green, web-footed adults, hiding and gliding in the rainforest canopy. Featured in Endangered Earth Online, 1231, Feb. 8, 2024: https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/publications/earthonline/endangered-earth-online-no1231.html Based on Scientific American report, “This Flying Frog Spends Its Youth Masquerading as Poop,” by E.A.

The hidden networks of everything | Albert-László Barabási
This interview is an episode from @The-Well, our publication about ideas that inspire a life well-lived, created with the @JohnTempletonFoundation. Subscribe to The Well on YouTube ► https://bit.ly/thewell-youtube Watch Albert-László Barabási’s next interview ► https://youtu.be/E1eo80fFblM Our world is filled with an abundance of data. Albert-László Barabási, a network scientist, believes that understanding the underlying structure and relationships of complex systems is crucial. Barabási’s research has challenged the notion of random connections and led to the discovery of a more accurate representation of how these systems are organized. Barabási’s exploration began with the vast internet. Surprisingly, he found that the intricate web of connections did not follow random patterns but instead followed a power load distribution. He named these networks “scale-free networks.” Barabási’s groundbreaking work reveals that new connections in our networks tend to form with already well-connected elements. Scale-free networks exist in various complex systems, such as cellular interactions and social networks. This discovery is an important step toward comprehending the remarkable complexity that arises from countless interactions among the world’s many components. 0:00 Networks: How the world works 1:23 The theory of random graphs 3:15 What is network science? 6:49 Complex systems Read the video transcript ► https://bigthink.com/the-well/decoding-our-world-graph-theory-networks?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Albert-László Barabási: Albert-László Barabási is a network scientist, fascinated with a wide range of topics, from unveiling the structure of the brain and treating diseases using network medicine to the emergence of success in art and how science really works. His research has helped unveil the hidden order behind various complex systems using the quantitative tools of network science, a research field that he pioneered, and has led to the discovery of scale-free networks, helping explain the emergence of many natural, technological, and social networks. Barabási is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He is the author of The Formula (Little Brown), Network Science (Cambridge), Bursts (Dutton), and Linked (Penguin). He co-edited Network Medicine (Harvard, 2017) and The Structure and Dynamics of Networks (Princeton, 2005).
