Zembla investigates how the pesticide industry influences the approval of glyphosate — the most widely used herbicide in the world. Despite concerns from scientists about cancer and Parkinson’s disease, the EU recently approved its use for another ten years. In this documentary, Zembla explores the role of paid “merchants of doubt” who cast uncertainty over health risks. The investigation leads to the United States, where chemical giant Bayer is being sued by cancer patients who claim their illness was caused by Roundup, Bayer’s glyphosate-based weed killer. The company has paid billions in settlements and has been ordered to pay large sums in damages. Zembla interviews one of the attorneys who fought Bayer and examines internal court documents that reveal how the company influences public opinion to protect its profitable product — an effect visible even in respected media, including in Europe. Zembla traces one key figure: American statistician Kenny Crump. His work appears in the EU’s glyphosate dossier. Crump previously defended diesel exhaust and asbestos for industry clients. Zembla discovers that his links to Bayer are closer than disclosed. He worked for the company from 2021 to 2023, earning “hundreds of thousands of dollars” as an expert witness in an Australian lawsuit. This conflict of interest is not mentioned in the European approval documents. The Dutch pesticide authority Ctgb relied on Crump’s publications to argue that tumors found in lab animals exposed to glyphosate could be due to chance. Another study he co-authored was used to question research linking glyphosate to higher cancer rates in farmers. Both studies involved former Monsanto consultants. Harvard science historian Naomi Oreskes, author of Merchants of Doubt, describes Crump as a classic example of scientists used to delay regulation. “This is someone who defended benzene and asbestos,” she tells Zembla. “These are known carcinogens.” She warns that such tactics erode trust in science and public health protections. Former Ctgb board member Geert de Snoo says studies with potential conflicts of interest do not belong in official safety reviews. “If there’s any doubt about independence, I would steer far away,” he says. Crump has a long history of defending controversial substances. He previously downplayed the risks of diesel exhaust, paid by oil industry groups including the American Petroleum Institute. He also questioned the dangers of asbestos at certain exposure levels — strategies that resurface in his work for Bayer. Zembla reveals how corporate influence shapes science, media, and regulation in the glyphosate debate. Who decides what’s safe? And how independent is the process?

January 28th, 1945: World War II comes to Germany. The total war strikes back at the Fatherland in all its drama and reaches its climax on German soil. It is the beginning of a hundred days of terror and death, claiming more lives than in all previous years of the war. Stalin's troops advance day and night, certain of victory, euphoric. Those who stand in their way are crushed. The Wehrmacht has no chance. Although refuted by the Nazi propaganda, the German people have long since begun to doubt whether the war can still be won. In a radio broadcast, Adolf Hitler addresses his people, calling for a "fight of destiny". Passengers on the crowded refugee ship "Wilhelm Gustloff“ also hear his speech, before Soviet torpedoes send the former cruise liner to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Killing thousands. Fleets of Allied bombers strike the capital of Berlin and destroy Dresden, which is overcrowded with refugees. From the west, the Allies march towards the Rhine, but the Wehrmacht has blown up all bridges - save one.

Westerse politici riepen en roepen te vaak: ‘Dit is een land waar je, ongeacht uiterlijk of afkomst, kunt bereiken wat je wil, als je maar bereid bent te studeren en hard te werken. You can make it if you try.’ Maar volgens Harvard-wetenschapper en politiek filosoof Michael Sandel is meritocratie geen utopie, maar juist een tirannie. En de reden waarom er zoveel woede is tegen de elite. Hij zegt: ‘Wat deze politici steevast over het hoofd zien, is de belediging die impliciet in dat zelfgenoegzame advies zit, namelijk: als je het moeilijk hebt en geen diploma behaalt, dan moet dat wel je eigen schuld zijn… Bij veel mensen leidde dat tot wrok en woede.’

Trapped by Your Likes: Foucault’s Instagram Panopticon Every heart, every swipe, every notification badge is more than just feedback—it’s a whisper guiding your next move, shaping your self-image, and tethering you to an algorithmic gaze. In this video, we revisit Michel Foucault’s panopticon metaphor to reveal how social media apps—Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and more—have become modern watchtowers of subtle yet pervasive surveillance. We’ll unpack the mechanics of surveillance capitalism, explore how self-surveillance drains authenticity, and offer practical tactics—from App Limits to ethical design—to help you reclaim autonomy in a world built for endless scrolling. What You’ll Learn: How “likes” and badges function as micro-dispositions of power The role of data mining in turning attention into profit Why self-monitoring on social media intensifies anxiety Real-world examples: influencers chasing ever-shifting algorithms Strategies for digital self-care and calls for ethical platform design 0:00 Introduction: Trapped by Your Likes 0:05 The Digital Panopticon in Your Pocket 0:29 Foucault’s Panopticon Reimagined 0:56 Platforms as Watchtowers: Instagram, TikTok & Snapchat 1:08 Micro-Dispositions of Power 1:43 Surveillance Capitalism & Data Mining 2:09 Self-Surveillance & the Auto-Optical Gaze 2:23 Authenticity and Anxiety Under Metrics 2:33 Case Studies: Influencers & Viral Roulette 3:07 Snapchat Streaks & Social Standing 3:23 Reclaiming Autonomy: Self-Care Tools 3:45 Ethical Design & Digital Literacy 4:03 Conclusion: Unseeing the Watchtower

Hannah Arendt & the Banality of Digital Evil In 1963 Hannah Arendt coined the phrase “the banality of evil” to describe how ordinary people—simply “doing what they’re told”—can perpetrate horrific acts through unthinking obedience. Today, social-media platforms and their algorithms cultivate a new, digital form of Arendtian thoughtlessness. In this video, we: Revisit Arendt’s analysis of Eichmann’s “unimaginative follower” mindset Unpack how Facebook, YouTube, and AI prompt behavior without moral reflection Examine four high-profile case studies of online mobs (Justine Sacco, #MeToo backlash, James Gunn, Chrissy Teigen) Explore three philosophical lenses on digital power: Foucault’s panopticon, Zuboff’s surveillance capitalism, and Mill’s harm principle Propose concrete remedies—ethical platform design, regulatory accountability, and digital-literacy initiatives—to insert a moment of thought before every click and scroll Join us as we confront how easy it is to become a faceless enabler of cruelty—and how we can reclaim responsibility in our digital public square. 0:00 Introduction: Arendt & the Banality of Digital Evil 2:00 Arendt’s Eichmann: Thoughtlessness & Unquestioning Compliance 4:00 Platform Mechanics: Algorithms, Prompts & Herd Mentality 6:00 Case Study I: Justine Sacco’s Global Outrage 8:00 Case Study II: #MeToo Backlash & Counter-Mob 10:00 Case Study III: James Gunn’s Firing & Rehiring Saga 12:00 Case Study IV: Chrissy Teigen’s Tweet-Storm Fallout 14:00 Systemic Roots: Engagement Economics & Echo Chambers 16:00 Philosophical Lens I: Foucault’s Virtual Panopticon 18:00 Philosophical Lens II: Zuboff’s Surveillance Capitalism 20:00 Philosophical Lens III: Mill’s Harm Principle & Free Speech 22:00 Solutions I: Ethical Platform Design & Reflective “Speed-Bumps” 24:00 Solutions II: Corporate & Regulatory Responsibility 26:00 Solutions III: Digital Literacy, Civic Norms & Bystander Intervention 28:00 Conclusion: Reclaiming Thoughtful Participation Online

America just made a decision that could change the entire future—and hand China the upper hand for decades to come. While China is investing billions into clean energy, dominating industries like solar, wind, electric vehicles, and battery storage, the United States is doubling down on oil and gas.

Phenomenology of Social Media: Body, Mind & Screen How does every swipe, tap, and “like” reshape our lived experience? Drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s notion of the lived body and the 4E framework of embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended cognition, this video traces how social-media gestures become part of our very perception of time, space, and self. We’ll look at: Merleau-Ponty’s embodied perception and why “disembodied scrolling” is a myth The extended-mind thesis: how smartphones act as cognitive partners Gestural phenomenology: swipes, taps, and double-taps as bodily engagements Artistic case—Camille Kataba’s disembodied-hand series How the habitual body pulls us into an endless scroll Temporal warping: dopamine loops and “feed time” Spatial remapping: virtual co-presence vs. real absence The phenomenology of social touch—likes, emojis, and feedback loops Hybrid lifeworld: living between flesh-and-blood and glowing screens Whether you’re a philosopher, cognitive scientist, or just curious about how your phone literally becomes part of you, join us for a deep dive into the phenomenology of the feed. 0:00 Introduction: Phenomenology of Social Media—Body, Mind & Screen 0:18 Merleau-Ponty’s Lived Body & Digital Perception 0:45 4E Cognition: Embodied, Embedded, Enactive & Extended 1:20 Extended Mind: Smartphones as Cognitive Partners 1:55 Gestural Engagement: Scrolling, Tapping & Double-Tapping 2:30 Art Case Study: Camille Kataba’s Disembodied Hands 3:00 Habitual Body: Unconscious Phone Interactions 3:35 Cognitive Offloading & Time Perception Shifts 4:10 Endless Scroll & Dopamine: Warping Temporal Experience 4:45 Virtual Co-Presence: Remapped Spatial Experience 5:20 Video Calls & Partial Embodiment 5:55 Social Touch: Likes, Emojis & Phenomenological Weight 6:30 Algorithmic Feedback: Co-Creating Our Media Reality 7:05 Hybrid Lifeworld: Phenomenology of the Feed 7:40 Conclusion: Reflecting on Hybrid Presence & Phenomenology

Conspiracy Theories 101: How to Think Like a Philosopher Conspiracy theories offer simple narratives of heroes and villains, giving us a false sense of control in an unpredictable world. In this video, we dig into why these theories spread so easily—appealing to our emotions, biases, and need for belonging—and then arm you with three powerful philosophical tools to cut through the noise: Occam’s Razor – the simplest explanation is usually best Bayesian Reasoning – update your beliefs based on prior probability and new evidence Popper’s Falsifiability – a good theory must risk being proven wrong You’ll also learn respectful strategies for engaging believers, from empathetic listening to Socratic questioning, so you can keep the conversation constructive. Whether you’re sharing a hot take with friends or navigating the social-media rumor mill, these critical-thinking skills will help you separate fact from fancy. 0:00 Intro: Why Conspiracy Theories Captivate Us 0:15 The Appeal: Simple Narratives & Scapegoats 0:30 Emotional Rewards: Control & Community 0:56 Confirmation Bias: Seeing Only What Fits 1:16 Proportionality Bias: Big Events, Big Causes 1:46 Pattern-Seeking: Finding Intent Behind Coincidences 2:16 Distrust & Identity: “Us vs. Them” Dynamics 2:50 Philosophical Toolkit: An Overview 3:02 Occam’s Razor: Shaving Off Unnecessary Assumptions 5:06 Bayesian Reasoning: Updating Beliefs with Evidence 7:03 Popper’s Falsifiability: Demanding Risky Predictions 8:50 Engaging Believers: Empathy & Socratic Questioning 11:06 Truth Sandwich & Reliable Resources 12:02 Conclusion: Why Philosophy Matters in the Digital Age

Who Really Profits from Your Last Mile? A Marxist Critique of Uber Drivers In this video, we unpack Karl Marx’s theory of surplus value in the context of today’s gig economy—specifically ride-hail platforms like Uber and Lyft. Though drivers are labeled “independent contractors,” they shoulder all operating costs (car, gas, insurance) while the platform pockets 20–30% of each fare. Through Marx’s lens, we see how every minute spent waiting is unpaid labor, how algorithms act as impersonal bosses, and why gig work is the ultimate model of precarious, fragmented exploitation. Drawing on studies from UC Berkeley, analyses by Fontes (2017), and comparisons to 19th-century piecework, we’ll explore: How surplus value is extracted ride by ride The hidden costs drivers pay for the platform’s profits Algorithmic discipline, surveillance, and emotional labor Global patterns of gig-work precarity Paths toward collective action, minimum-wage demands, and regulatory reform Join us as we ask: Who profits from your last mile run? 0:00 Introduction: The Independent-Contractor Myth 0:20 Piecework & Surplus Value: Marx’s Framework 0:50 Driver Costs vs. Platform Cut (20–30%) 1:20 Unpaid “Leisure” Time & Algorithmic Wages 1:45 Berkeley Study: Earnings less than ½ Minimum Wage 2:15 Means of Production: Car vs. Digital Platform 2:45 Algorithmic Boss: Ratings & Deactivation 3:15 Precarity & Risk: No Benefits, No Safety Net 3:40 Surveillance & Emotional Labor in the Gig Economy 4:10 Broader Perspectives: Fontes, Graeber & Piketty 4:40 Global Gig Trends: From London to Lagos 5:10 Conclusion: Capital Profits, Drivers Pay the Price 5:40 Toward Change: Unions, Regulation & Beyond

The Art of Doing Nothing: A Daoist Guide to Digital Detox In a world ruled by endless scrolling, pings, and notifications, modern life can feel like a relentless flood of stimuli. Drawing on Laozi’s ancient principle of wu wei (effortless action), this video explores how “doing nothing” can actually be the most powerful way to restore focus, calm, and creativity. You’ll learn why constant tech use fuels anxiety and stress, how digital minimalism and mindful unplugging mirror both Daoist and Stoic wisdom, and—most importantly—practical steps you can take today to reclaim mental space and flow with life’s currents rather than fight them. We’ll cover: The Dao De Jing’s water metaphor and its lesson for our hyper-connected age Surprising research linking screen time to anxiety, and the benefits of brief tech sabbaths Laozi’s insight on emptiness—the unfilled space that gives everything its purpose Concrete “wu wei hacks” like scheduled breaks, notification curbs, and analog retreats Whether you’re a tech addict, a productivity hacker, or simply curious about ancient philosophy in the digital era, this guide will show you how less can truly be more. 0:00 Introduction: The Art of Doing Nothing 0:15 Water & Wu Wei: Effortless Action in Daoist Thought 0:45 Tech Anxiety Stats: Screen Time, Stress & Teens 1:15 Paradox of Non-Action: “Nothing Left Undone” 1:40 Digital Detox Movement: Tech Sabbath & Phone-Free Zones 2:10 Embracing Emptiness: Laozi’s Wheel, Pot & House 2:45 Mindful Unplugging: Breath Before Unlocking 3:15 Practical Tips: Align Breaks with Rest Cycles 3:50 Digital Minimalism: Simplify Devices & Cut Notifications 4:25 Analog Retreats: Nature, Hobbies & Solitary Walks 4:55 Closing: Flow with Technology, Don’t Grip It 5:32 End of Video

By the end, you’ll see every ordinary moment—and every sunset—in a brand-new light. What You’ll Learn: The origins of the doctrine of flux and why Heraclitus said “you cannot step into the same river twice” How neuroplasticity makes your brain a constantly rewiring ecosystem Why predictive coding ensures each experience feels fresh The reconstructive nature of memory and its adaptive benefits Practical mindfulness techniques to notice novelty and cultivate gratitude 👉 If you enjoyed this exploration, give it a 👍, share your favorite sunset moment in the comments, and subscribe for more deep dives into philosophy, science, and mindful living! 0:00 Introduction: The Ever-Changing Sunset 0:41 Heraclitus & the Doctrine of Flux 2:05 Impermanence in Nature: Mountains, Forests & Stars 3:10 Philosophical Traditions: Stoicism & Buddhism 3:39 Neuroplasticity: The Brain as a Living Ecosystem 7:43 Why Novelty Matters: Predictive Coding & Vigilance 11:06 The Mutable Tapestry of Memory 13:34 Biological Renewal: Your Body’s Daily Turnover 17:18 Evolving Perspectives: Knowledge, Emotion & Identity 19:15 Autopilot vs. Awareness: When Life Blurs Together 20:44 Practical Techniques: Mindfulness, Journaling & Photo-a-Day 22:39 Embracing the Mundane: Gratitude & Presence 23:13 Comfort in Impermanence: This Too Shall Pass 23:47 Psychological Payoff: Dopamine & Hedonic Adaptation 26:04 Conclusion: A New Sunset, A New Self

Digital Afterlife: Can You Live Forever as Data? What if death wasn’t the end, but the beginning of a new digital existence? In this deep-dive video essay, we explore the cutting-edge idea of a “digital afterlife”—uploading your mind, memories, and personality into data. From science-fiction visions in Black Mirror and Upload to real-world AI memorials like Project December and Replika, we trace the techno-cultural trajectory toward digital immortality. Along the way, we grapple with the big philosophical questions of personal identity (Locke, Parfit, Dennett), examine the methods and challenges of mind uploading, and confront the emotional and ethical implications for the living and the “loved dead.” Finally, we’ll paint two speculative futures—one of cloud-based paradises and one of ubiquitous digital twins—and pose the ultimate open question: if you could live forever as data, should you? 0:00 Introduction: What Is Digital Afterlife? 0:44 Framing the Big Questions of Identity & Continuity 2:22 Digital Afterlife in Pop Culture (Black Mirror, Upload, Her, Transcendence) 5:14 Real-World AI Resurrection (Microsoft Patent, Project December, Replika) 9:01 AI-Driven Memorials & Interactive Biographies (StoryFile, HereAfter AI, Holograms, VR) 13:29 Transhumanism & the Computational Theory of Mind 16:00 Mind Uploading Methods: Scanning, Cyborg Replacement, Cryonics 21:00 Philosophical Theories of Personal Identity (Locke, Parfit, Dennett) 29:22 Consciousness Debates: Functionalism vs. Biological Substrate 31:55 Emotional & Ethical Dimensions of Griefbots (Sunshine Hendler Case) 36:19 Privacy, Consent, and the Commodification of Digital Selves 40:10 Digital Personhood & AI Rights Debate (Lambda Incident) 43:26 Scenario 1 – Fully Uploaded Minds in Cloud-Based Paradises 48:39 Scenario 2 – Everyday Digital Twins & Mind Cloning 52:56 Societal, Environmental & Spiritual Impacts of Digital Immortality 56:02 Conclusion & Open-Ended Question: Should You Live Forever as Data?

Pansychism Unveiled: Is Everything Conscious? A Dive into Mind Dust How far does consciousness reach? In this 1-hour 7-minute exploration, we unpack pansychism—the view that mind is a fundamental feature of all matter. From ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary thinkers like Galen Strawson, David Chalmers, and Philip Goff, we trace the history, science, and debates surrounding the idea that even particles might possess proto-experience. Along the way, we’ll look at neuroscience theories, quantum puzzles, animal and AI case studies, and the ethical implications of a world where mind is everywhere. What You’ll Learn: The origins of pansychism in pre-Socratic thought and its revival in modern philosophy Why the “hard problem” of consciousness fuels the debate How Integrated Information Theory lends scientific weight to mind-dust ideas Case studies: plants, octopuses, AI, toasters, and clouds on our playful consciousness meter The combination problem and other challenges to pansychism Ethical, environmental, and existential ramifications if mind permeates reality 00:00 Introduction: Pointing the Consciousness Meter 02:24 Historical Roots: Thales & Anaximander’s Spirit of Matter 04:45 Spinoza’s Dual-Aspect Monism 06:02 Leibniz’s Monads and Micro-Minds 07:04 William James’s “Mind Dust” Turnaround 09:01 Early Quantum Hints: Planck, Schrödinger & de Broglie 09:12 Playful Experiment: Scanning Your Houseplant 10:22 The Hard Problem of Consciousness (Chalmers) 12:05 Illusionists vs. Pansychists 13:41 Dual-Aspect Monism & Russellian View 15:02 Strawson’s Anti-Emergence Argument 16:40 Nagel & Goff: Reintegrating Consciousness into Physics 18:01 The Combination Problem Explained 20:00 Cosmopsychism: One Big Mind? 23:21 Integrated Information Theory & the Science of “Mind Dust” 29:01 Toaster & Cloud: When Consciousness Reads Zero 32:04 Octopus Intelligence & Distributed Minds 35:03 AI Case Study: Her, Westworld & the Turing Test 40:06 Quantum Observation & Consciousness Debates 44:09 Critiques: Illusionism, Emergentism & Falsifiability 53:11 Ethical Expansion: From Animals to the Earth 57:13 Existential & Spiritual Implications 01:02:36 Conclusion: Sitting with the Mystery ❤️ If you enjoyed this journey through the edges of mind and matter, like, subscribe, and share!
