href="http://cultr.me/op6qwi" rel="nofollow">The Concert for Bangladesh for free on iTunes</a> this weekend. Exactly 40 years ago (August 1, 1971), Beatles’ guitarist George Harrison and sitarist Ravi Shankar teamed up to stage two benefit concerts at Madison Square Garden, hoping to raise money for refugees from East Pakistan (now independent Bangladesh). The concert film came out a year later in 1972, and now, to mark its anniversary, the good folks at Apple are <a href="http://cultr.me/op6qwi" rel="nofollow">streaming the film for free</a>. Acts include Ravi Shankar, George Harrison (his first since The Beatles’ breakup), Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston and more.</p> <p>Our friends on Twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/openculture">follow us here</a>) tell us that the film should be accessible throughout most of the world, although there are some exceptions. Apologies in advance if you run into difficulties. H/T to Ed.</p> <p><strong>Note: </strong>NPR is carrying a video stream of The Newport Folk Festival.

During the filming of the program, Dawkins interviewed various experts — biologists, philosophers, clergyman, evolutionary psychologists, etc. — and wound up with 18 hours of raw footage. Some of the uncut interviews have now made their way online (<a href="https://store.richarddawkins.net/products/the-genius-of-charles-darwin-the-uncut-interviews">as well as DVD</a>), and we’re highlighting a few today.</p> <p>Above, Dawkins spends a good while with <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/~psinger/">Peter Singer</a>, the Princeton philosopher, otherwise known as the Father of the Animal Rights Movement. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYYNY2oKVWU">wide-ranging conversation</a> continually comes back to animal rights and vegetarianism and why Darwinism lends support to both. The best part comes toward the end, when Singer tells Dawkins (a meat eater), “I have assimilated Darwin on this issue better than you have because .… you’re still influenced by these vestiges of religious belief that separate us from the animals.…” Dawkins out-Dawkinsed.</p> <p>Other uncut interviews feature conversations with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIMReUsxTt4&feature=relmfu">Steven Pinker</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lfTPTFN94o&feature=relmfu">Daniel Dennett</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E25jgPgmzk&feature=relmfu">Craig Venter</a>.</p> <p>Related note: We’d like to thank RichardDawkins.net for re-broadcasting our post earlier this week: <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2011/07/50_famous_academics_talk_about_god.html">50 Famous Academics & Scientists Talk About God</a></p> <div class="alignleft"> <p class="author"> by <a href="https://www.openculture.com/author/dancolman" title="Posts by OC" rel="author">OC</a> | <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2011/07/richard_dawkins_uncut_interviews_with_peter_singer_big_thinkers.html" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2011/07/richard_dawkins_uncut_interviews_with_peter_singer_big_thinkers.html#respond" title="Make a comment">Make a Comment</a> ( <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2011/07/richard_dawkins_uncut_interviews_with_peter_singer_big_thinkers.html#comments">3</a> ) | </p>   </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="recent_post"> <h1 id="post-19126" ><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2011/07/the_persecution_of_daniel_lee_.html" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to The Persecution of Daniel Lee"> The Persecution of Daniel Lee </a></h1> <p class="byline">in <em class="postcategory"> <a href="https://www.openculture.com/category/life" rel="category tag">Life</a>, <a href="https://www.openculture.com/category/technology" rel="category tag">Technology</a> </em> | July 29th, 2011 </p> <div id="framearound_ad_in_post" style="margin: 8px 0px 8px 0px;"> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>  <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1184791463292965" data-ad-slot="4261585863" data-ad-format="link"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> <div class="recent_post_text"> <div id="post-19126" class="post-19126 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-life category-technology"> <p><a href="https://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/2011/julaug/features/tablo.html" rel="nofollow"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-19127 native-lazyload-js-fallback" title="lee_opener" src="https://www.openculture.com/wp-content/plugins/native-lazyload/assets/images/placeholder.svg" alt width="180" height="243" data-src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener.jpg" data-srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener.jpg 250w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener-111x150.jpg 111w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener-222x300.jpg 222w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px"><noscript><img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-19127" title="lee_opener" src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener.jpg" alt width="180" height="243" srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener.jpg 250w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener-111x150.jpg 111w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lee_opener-222x300.jpg 222w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px"></noscript></a>A story appearing in July’s <em>Stanford Magazine</em> begins with the caption: “An Internet smear campaign nearly destroyed the South Korean star, but he fought back with the only weapon he had: the truth.” And, from there, you’re launched into one of the more flabbergasting stories you’ve read in some time.

Ruthlessness. Deviousness. Power politics. These words are often associated with <a href="https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/machiavelli/">Niccolò Machiavelli</a>, the author of <em>The Prince</em> (1532). But, it turns out, he was anything but. He was a sweet man (though something of a philanderer), a profound democrat, good looking, a party animal. In short, Machiavelli has gotten a bad rap, says novelist Salman Rushdie.</p> <p>To get more insight into this badly misunderstood figure, we’d recommend spending time with Philosophy Bites’ interview (<a href="https://cdn4.libsyn.com/philosophybites/Quentin_Skinner_on_Machiavellis_The_Prince.mp3" rel="nofollow">MP3</a> or <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/quentin-skinner-on-machiavellis/id257042117?i=31316425">iTunes</a>) with <a href="https://www.history.qmul.ac.uk/staff/skinnerq.html">Quentin Skinner</a>, one of England’s finest intellectual historians who has written extensively on Machiavelli.

Is it a moment? If it is, when exactly does it happen? And what happens afterward?”</p> <p>The show (<a href="https://www.radiolab.org/2009/jul/27/">listen here</a>) inspired filmmaker Will Hoffman to shoot a video the meditates on the little moments that give life (and death) their meaning. Some moments stand in isolation. Others moments are connected, creating a link between birth and death, cause and effect, beginnings and ends. In <a href="https://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2009/aug/27/thoughts-on-moments/">this audio clip</a>, Hoffman talks with RadioLab co-host Robert Krulwich about the vision informing the video simply called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNVPalNZD_I&feature=player_profilepage">Moments</a>.
