Abtritt ohne Vermächtnis – Der Sturz der Babyboomer

Aufgrund ihrer puren Masse haben die Babyboomer durch ihr bloßes Wollen, Wünschen und Empfinden die Märkte verändert. Ihre Skepsis gegenüber Ideologien war wohltuend, aber nur, solange man nicht bemerkte, dass dahinter die Abwesenheit von Ideen überhaupt stand. Ihr Fehler war zu glauben, dass Märkte auch schon Ideen sind. Ideen setzen sich nicht durch wie Starbucks-Kaffee oder Popkultur. Anders gesagt: Es war die Kauf-, nicht die Überzeugungskraft der Babyboomer, die das Antlitz der Gesellschaft veränderte. Sie musste für ihr Lebensgefühl, ihre Musik, ihre Mode, ihre Sprache nicht kämpfen - im Gegenteil: Es waren Antriebsaggregate für Märkte, die ganz schnell die ganze Gesellschaft erfassten. Die Autorität der Eltern und Lehrer der frühen Siebziger, die vielleicht Fetzenjeans verbieten wollen, weicht nichts so sehr auf, wie die Läden der globalen Modekette um die Ecke.

Nur Geld schießt Tore

Otto Rehhagel meinte zu wissen, dass Geld keine Tore schießt. Seine schlagfertige Kritik von 1987 an dem Transfer von Rudi Völler hat sich seitdem in einen geflügelten Dichterspruch verwandelt. Aber bei aller Hochachtung für den "Fußballgott" Rehhagel, Geld ist heute der beste Mittelstürmer. Wenn im Juni die Europameisterschaft 2012 startet, werden einige der kostspieligsten Mannschaften der Welt um den Europameister-Titel ringen. Hinter jedes Tor wird man Ausrufe, aber auch Euro-Zeichen setzen können.

Drones Set Sights on U.S. Skies

A new federal law, signed by the president on Tuesday, compels the Federal Aviation Administration to allow drones to be used for all sorts of commercial endeavors — from selling real estate and dusting crops, to monitoring oil spills and wildlife, even shooting Hollywood films. Local police and emergency services will also be freer to send up their own drones. But while businesses, and drone manufacturers especially, are celebrating the opening of the skies to these unmanned aerial vehicles, the law raises new worries about how much detail the drones will capture about lives down below — and what will be done with that information. Safety concerns like midair collisions and property damage on the ground are also an issue.

Brain Waves

This project is investigating developments in neuroscience and their implications for society and public policy. Increasing understanding of the brain and associated advances in technologies to study it will enable improved treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses. These advances will also increase our insights into normal human behaviour and mental wellbeing, and give the possibility of other enhancement, manipulation, and even degradation of brain function. These developments are likely to provide significant benefits for society, and they will also raise major social and ethical issues due to wide ranging applications.  Brain research is likely to have implications for a diverse range of public policy areas such as health, education, law, and security. Progress in neuroscience raises questions about personality, identity, responsibility, and liberty. The Brain Waves project explores the potential and the limitations of neuroscience insights for policymaking, as well as the benefits and the risks posed by applications of neuroscience and neurotechnologies.

Brazilian government files lawsuit against Twitter

The Brazilian government has filed a lawsuit against Twitter and its users in a bid to stop publication of messages alerting drivers to police speed traps and drunk-driving checkpoints. Brazil has asked for the “immediate suspension of all accounts that give information about the location of police radar,” the office of the Attorney General of the Union, said in a statement.

The Counterterrorism Consensus

There are few areas of greater disappointment for liberal supporters of President Barack Obama than his policies on civil liberties. From the failure to close Guantanamo Bay and his ramped up drone war to the continued reliance on indefinite detention, military commissions for accused terrorists, and the recent National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that potentially allows for the killing of American citizens without due process, Obama's presidency, or so the argument goes, has been one broken promise after another. Yet, none of this seems to be having any effect on Obama's political standing -- even among Democrats. The results of a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll provide compelling evidence of how little a price Obama has paid for these policies. According to the poll, 70 percent of respondents support the president's decision to keep Guantanamo Bay open. Indeed, backing for Gitmo is actually higher today than it was in 2003. Among the president's political base, 53 percent who self-identify as liberal Democrats -- and 67 percent of moderate or conservative Democrats -- are also supportive.

Liquid Gold: The Booming Market for Human Breast Milk

The site looks a lot like craigslist, except instead of selling used cars and like-new Ikea furniture, Only the Breast deals in human breast milk. Many kick off with a chirpy headline (“Chubby baby milk machine!”), then follow with a snapshot of their own robust infant and lush descriptions (“rich, creamy breast milk!” “fresh and fatty!”), making a primal source of nutrition sound like a New York cheesecake. There’s also a sort of “anything goes” section for women willing to sell to men.

Interpol accused after journalist arrested over Muhammad tweet

Interpol has been accused of abusing its powers after Saudi Arabia used the organisation's red notice system to get a journalist arrested in Malaysia for insulting the Prophet Muhammad. Police in Kuala Lumpur said Hamza Kashgari, 23, was detained at the airport "following a request made to us by Interpol" the international police cooperation agency, on behalf of the Saudi authorities. Kashgari, a newspaper columnist, fled Saudi Arabia after posting a tweet on the prophet's birthday that sparked more than 30,000 responses and several death threats. The posting, which was later deleted, read: "I have loved things about you and I have hated things about you and there is a lot I don't understand about you … I will not pray for you." Clerics in Saudi Arabia called for him to be charged with apostasy, a religious offence punishable by death. Reports suggest that the Malaysian authorities intend to return him to his native country.

Tracking the Secret War on Iran

Iran over its nuclear program have come and gone for years. In recent weeks such talk has intensified, though it's still anybody's guess as to whether Israel or the United States might openly carry out military action any time soon. But most experts agree on one thing: A covert war with Iran has already been raging for years. Details are often murky, but the conflict has been punctuated with brazen assassinations, exploding missile sites, crippling cyberattacks, and a litany of arrests and spying allegations on all sides. Below is a timeline of major developments in the war—or at least the ones that are publicly known.
