fora

Leo Lousada estuda espiritualidade há mais de 30 anos e costuma dizer que a felicidade não consiste em trazer o que está de fora para dentro, mas em buscar o que está dentro e trazê-lo para fora. Aliás, foi um pouco assim que ele foi guiando a sua vida até encontrar coisas que lhe fizessem sentido. Formado em Publicidade e Propaganda, se encontrou mesmo nos estudos espiritualistas e hoje, ao lado do colega e psicólogo Bruno Lanaro, apresenta e dirige um dos canais mais legais do Youtube, o "Conhecimentos da Humanidade'', um espaço que traz filosofia, psicologia e autoconhecimento de forma descontraída e de fácil compreensão. Neste papo com o podcast "45 Do Primeiro Tempo", Léo Lousada trouxe seu olhar sobre esses tempos pandêmicos, falou sobre a importância de darmos espaços para as sincronicidades e ressaltou: "O medo é o maior sinal do nosso apego a alguma coisa".

The modern world has a way of distancing itself from everything that came before it…and yet the evidence from archaeology supports a different story. While industrial societies tend to praise markets and advanced technologies as the main drivers of the last few centuries of change, a careful study of civilizations as distinct as Ancient Rome, Peru, and Central Mexico reveals an underlying uniformity. Consistent patterns have played out in human settlements across millennia and continents, regardless of the economic systems we’ve employed or the inventions on which we’ve relied. These patterns, furthermore, look just like those that govern and delimit evolutionary change; the scaling laws determining the growth of cities are, apparently, the same that led to cities in the first place, or to human social groups, or complex animals. Human settlements act as social reactors, by facilitating interactions — in other words, the functional relationships within communities drive history, and this century has more in common with the distant past than commonly believed.

These revelations, though, might have remained invisible to us if archaeology itself had not transformed over the last few decades, evolving new approaches to cross-disciplinary synthesis. It’s time to update both our notions of the ancient world and our popular conception of the archaeologist…

Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I’m your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we’ll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.

This week we talk to Former SFI Omidyar Fellow Scott Ortman, Associate Professor of Anthropology at The University of Colorado Boulder, about his work on settlement scaling theory and fostering synthesis in archaeology to advance science and benefit society.

Edição desta terça-feira, 16, fala sobre dados obtidos pelo Estadão sobre como a Câmara dos Deputados tem gasto o dinheiro público com viagens, e até, com suplentes que assumem a vaga de deputados e senadores, por menos de uma semana. Em um dos casos, uma viagem para o Cazaquistão custou cerca de 45 mil reais. E teve suplente que ficou 6 dias no cargo e recebeu o equivalente a R$ 67 mil. O cientista político da consultoria Pulso Público, Vitor Oliveira, lembra que é importante ter verbas para manter a máquina funcionando, mas que alguns gastos devem ser revistos.
