How is culture organised. How do museums, theatres, concert halls and underground players function together as a system. And how does the interaction of the state work in this system.

Our guest, Thomas Burø is working on his PhD at Copenhagen Business School. In this episode, Thomas talks about the history of state funded culture in Denmark. He also talks about Opps! Festival, the Festival for Failure and F-ups. Failures are essential to science and they should be embraced :) When not working on his PhD, Thomas fronts the punk band Tvivler, who have just released a new album, Ego. Read more about Thomas' work here.

Enjoy :)

Dr Daniel Mills is a Post-Doc at Stanford University. His research primarily concerns the co-evolution of the Proterozoic biosphere (Earth’s ‘middle age,’ 2.5-0.541 billion years ago) and eukaryotic life — a topic he approaches by studying modern organisms and environments.

As we chat, we give credence to the discoveries of Vladimir Vernadsky, a Russian mineralogist who, in the early 20th century published a book called The Biosphere. Vernadsky realised that the geology, chemistry and biology on earth are intricately intertwined. They influence each other. His ideas were a precursor to the Gaia hypothesis, that the earth is a living breathing entity. Her systems work to bring balance via geological and biological processes.
