    In a 60 Minute Interview this week, whistle-blower Frances Haugen revealed what we've known all along, how much FB receives in revenue allowing false information and the ads that go with them. Ms Haugen revealed her identity and the fact of thousands of documents she obtained detailing internal studies and policy memos backing her claims that FB overtly allowed false information posts. This may well have relevance related to the Jan 6 Capital attack, and equally how false information has created a huge polarization of Americans over issues of the COVID virus, vaccine, and politics. Also, she revealed information of the adverse impact Instagram has on young girls. Ms. Haugen appears before the House committee this week to further explain what she learned at FB as a product manager.

  • Pestana Park Paradise Vol 2 (Humane Architecture)

    Madeira’s Niemeyer’s Hospitality.  The hosts for this show are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.  


    Continuing to compare our Polynesian and what is called the Macaronesian Hawaii being Madeira Portugal this episode looks for the equivalent of in the past five episodes featured Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and finds it in the Pastena Park Hotel by Brazilian modern master architect Oscar Niemeyer in collaboration with Portuguese architect Alfredo Viana de Lima. With its many parallels of zeitgeist, materiality and noblesse there is a major difference in affordability making the Manau Kea Beach Hotel exclusive and the Pestana Park Hotel inclusive tributing to Niemeyer’s socialist to say the least as many say  communist approach vs Mauna Kea Beach Hotel’s Rockefeller and his architect SOM’s capitalist approach.
