Charlie Rose interviews Nassim Taleb who famously compared investment bankers to turkeys. Taleb is best known for his book about the importance of seemingly impossible but inevitable events such as Black Swan sightings after the discovery of Australia, where they exist.
A turkey gets fed very well, until it gets slaughtered. Right up to turkey [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately nobody has uploaded the excellent UK Channel 4 documentary version of Niall Ferguson&#8217;s timely book about the history of money, but this conversation is a good taster. Have a look out for the series of the same name.
Running time: 1 hour.

		<description><![CDATA[ This interview with John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief at The Economist magazine may seem a little dull, after all, Micklethwait is hardly a celebrity. But that&#8217;s the point, The Economist does not print bylines, so the very nature of those who write for it is anonymity. However, in a period when traditional newspapers look extremely fragile, [...]]]></description>

A documentary about John Carpenter is the only setting where Kurt Russell&#8217;s appearance on screen doesn&#8217;t have me reaching for the off button.

What&#8217;s most interesting about this documentary is not just the subject, but how representative it is of a particular 60s French style. In other words a very 60s French documentary about a Spaniard who worked in France and made timeless movies. The interviewees include Max Ernst.

James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA, is in a lot of hot water after claiming that black people are less intelligent.
I was dismayed to see how many commenters on websites like Digg were saying things like &#8216;at least someone has the guts to say it&#8217;. It was equally worrying that there was a patronizing undercurrent [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t much time for the Nobel Peace prize, its previous nominees include some of the more barbaric and notorious of the world&#8217;s criminals.
However, in honor of Al Gore&#8217;s deserving win, which sends an amusing &#8216;fuck you&#8217; to the knuckle scraping goons lolling around the White House, here is an excellent Channel 4 profile [...]]]></description>

This is the first of a 3 part documentary series, by Jon Ronson (the rest are also on Google Video), which was 3 years in the making. Ronson uses his superficially nerdy demeanor and Gonzo style journalism to elicit candid responses from interviewees who have [...]]]></description>
