Modern Wisdom

Paul Bloom is an author and a Professor of Psychology at Yale.

Why is suffering a cause of pleasure for some people? What do BDSM, being robbed, extreme sports and meditation have in common? How does pleasure work? Why is empathy bad and what is the case for rational compassion? Why do we love people who have died?

One of my favourite conversations this year, do not miss this.

Dr Larry Sanger is the ex-founder of Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is almost a public utility now, like water or energy. It's one of the most visited sites on the internet and provides millions with information every day.

But all might not be as pure as it seems and the utopia of the world's biggest encyclopaedia may have some fundamental flaws. Today we hear from one of the initial members of the project as he explains why Wikipedia is so messed up.
