[nonostantement #66] - jeff bezos in space / le donne del pane / food and climate change
Welcome to nonostantement: a random newsletter that gives you personal recommendations of cool stuff.
This Tuesday (the 14th) I will give my second talk at the Soho House Barcelona!
I will discuss how the organised manipulation of the masses (using opinion leaders and influencers) has evolved and become a full-time task for businesses and governments.
It is fully booked, but If you are a member, I am sure they will let you in...
if you are not and want to show up, reply to to this email and we will sort that out ;)

"The world’s food system is responsible for about one-quarter of the planet-warming greenhouse gases that humans generate each year. That includes raising and harvesting all the plants, animals and animal products we eat — beef, chicken, fish, milk, lentils, kale, corn and more — as well as processing, packaging and shipping food to markets all over the world. If you eat food, you’re part of this system."[Video] - China's secret internment camps
"China has been quietly detaining its population of Uighurs, the country’s Muslim minority, in internment camps. First-hand accounts from inside the camps paint a brutal picture of torture and political indoctrination. At first, China denied the existence of these camps and tried to cover them up. But as a network of academics and activists uncovered evidence of the camps' locations, and the reality of what’s going inside, China changed its story."How Airbnb took over the world
"In just 11 years, it has grown from nothing to a $30bn firm. But critics say Airbnb’s rise has come at a huge cost to urban life – and cities across the planet are trying to find ways to rein it in."
