El mayor asesino del mundo.

from Memory Backups

Esta es la historia de como una mera casualidad, hizo que nuestro protagonista se convirtiera en el mayor asesino del mundo. Y no una, si no 2 veces. Esta historia empieza en Detroit en 1908. Allí, sobre el puente de Belle Isle, el coche de una mujer se cala el coche, debido a la pobre calidad de la gasolina que causaba unas explosiones que terminaban degradando el motor.El caso es que el automovilista que la sigue se baja y se ofrece para volver a arrancar su coche. En esa época sólo hay una manera de arrancar un coche, usar la manivela. Lo consigue, pero al ponerse en marcha el motor, el retorno de la manivela golpea a Carter con tal fuerza que le revienta la mandíbula. Fallecería poco tiempo después de las heridas. Vaya por Dios. El caso es que alguien contrató entonces a un joven ingeniero, Thomas Midgley Jr. para que encontrase la fórmula de una gasolina que previniese el picado de biela, y de paso hacer un motor de arranque. Tras probarlo con casi todo, literalmente, sólo con el etanol (alcohol, básicamente) conseguía el efecto deseado. Pero era considerado caro y se necesitaba un 10 % de etanol en cada volumen de gasolina. Buscaban algo más barato. Algunas de las soluciones eran prometedoras, pero no convencían por precio o por...olor, como la combinación de telurio e hidróxido de sodio. Finalmente, el 3 de diciembre de 1921, Midgley da con la solución, el tetraetilo de plomo. Es barato de fabricar, abundante y no tiene olor. Entusiasmado se lo comunica a Kettering sabiendo que iban a ganar montañas y montañas de dinero. Y... Bueno si quieres saber por qué este hombre con cara de bonachón se convirtió en el mayor asesino del mundo... ¡Dale al "Play"!

Murderville The Intercept Harris County, Texas, has sent more people to death row than any jurisdiction in the nation. Among them is Charles Raby. He confessed to the grisly murder of an elderly woman in Houston in 1992. But the evidence tells a different story — one in which the state went after the wrong man. In the second season of Murderville, Intercept reporters Liliana Segura and Jordan Smith explore faulty forensics, the fallibility of memory, and a system ill-equipped to acknowledge its mistakes.

Explicit Philosophy of Psychoanalysis Nina McIlwain Freud famously said that the aim of psychoanalysis was to enable us to work, love and play with minimum conflict. So what gets in the way of us doing that? Philosophy of Psychoanalysis is an educational course presented at a third-year tertiary education level by A/Prof. Doris McIlwain. The course aims to ground you in the basics: the nature of unconscious processes, repression, sexuality, dreams, morality, grief, gender identity, drives and affects and their implications for perception, memory and creative processes, as well as for certain forms of psychopathology. Then, it considers the wider societal relevance of psychoanalysis to issues of the internet, femininity, charisma, cults, spin doctors, hypocrisy and political power. For the more clinically minded, the course covers an array of post-Freudian perspectives, including Jacques Lacan, Melanie Klein, Object Relations theory, Kohut’s self-psychology, Winnicott, and relational psychoanalysis. You should leave the course with a gra Explicit Love and Radio: Blood Memory Love and Radio | Daylight Media Nick van der Kolk's Love and Radio features in-depth, otherworldly-produced interviews with an eclectic range of subjects, from the seedy to the sublime.
