When developing this first 2021 edition of Making Waves we couldn’t ignore the additional topics that are capturing the attention of headlines and social users, with the clean energy, decarbonisation and net zero space generating more than 800,000 articles and social mentions in January alone. Diversity, ESG and gender equality also increased their online interest during the month, so we can only hope that this year brings some extreme change for all the right reasons. So, what else has been happening behind digital doors last month? Read on to explore the topics we’ve uncovered and get a glimpse of the top 10 ideas, brands, campaigns or innovations that sparked our interest during the last month. 3D printing Disinformation / fake news P Payments / payment technology4 5G Diversity Personal debt A Advanced therapeutics E Ecological collapse Plastics Ageing population Electric vehicles Poverty Antibiotic resistance Ethics and trust Privacy / data protection Artificial intelligence ESG Q Quantum computing Assistive technology Exoskeletons R Recycling/re-engineering Augmented reality F Famine Robotics Automation Fast fashion S Savings crisis B Big data Fintech Self-driving vehicles Biometrics Food security Smart cities Blockchain Future of work Smart fashion C Circular economy G Gender equality Smart home Clean energy Gesture-based computing Solar cell technology Climate change H Healthtech Space tourism Cloud computing Hydrogen T Tech for good Corporate governance I Inclusion Trade wars / protectionism COVID-19 Internet of Things V Vaccine Cryptocurrency L Li-Fi Vertical farms Cultured meat N Nanobots Voice Cybersecurity Net Zero W Wearables D Decarbonisation O Organ-on-a-chip The Topics We Track Deforestation Overpopulation topics that have been dominating news feeds, headlines and TV screens over thelastmonth? headlinesandTV over feeds, screens beendominatingnews thathave topics about beenthemosttalked whathave genderequality poverty, ethicsto andspace AIto From What’s Making Waves? 40.000.000 30.000.000 20.000.000 10.000.000 → TOP 5 0 COVID-19 Vaccine DECEMBER Disinformation / fake news Artificial intelligence Climate change COVID-19 Climate change JANUARY Vaccine Artificial intelligence Disinformation / fake news 2.000.000 2.500.000 → THE REST OF THE TOP 20 TOP THE OF REST THE → 1.000.000 1.500.000 500.000 0 Poverty Blockchain Inclusion Cryptocurrency Automation Cybersecurity Artificial intelligence Decarbonisation Privacy / data protection Recycling/re-engineering Fintech Cloud computing No. of social mentionsinJanuary ofsocial No. ofarticlesNo. inJanuary Robotics Electric vehicles Internet of Things 5 01 → WHISKY BUSINESS 6 With the race to net zero well and truly underway... ...businesses across the UK are turning to new sources of energy to help them decarbonise and drastically reduce their carbon emissions. Hydrogen is the latest energy trend to be supporting decarbonisation activities across the nation. Last month, Islay-based Bruichladdich Distillery, the acclaimed Scottish whisky producer owned by Remy Cointreu, announced its hydrogen project with Boldspace client, Protium, who’ll be assisting them with decarbonising their production process. Hydrogen presents a significant opportunity for the whisky industry and Islay itself, which currently uses fuel oil to meet its heating demand. Could hydrogen be the secret ingredient in everyone’s favourite dram? LEARN MORE: CHEERS TO THAT CAMPAIGN INNOVATION IDEA 02 → SIMPLY MAGIC 7 Sky Source’s latest products crowned by The Times as ‘One of the Best Inventions of 2020’. The WEDEW is the first of its kind - a versatile, self-contained, sustainable energy-water generator that provides fresh drinking water to those in need. But how does this miracle machine do this? Using… air! The machine converts biomass into essential human resources while packing would-be greenhouse gases into the ground. So, how does it work? 1. Users of the system can discard plant and animal materials, such as wood chips or nutshells, into the machine 2. The WEDEW heats up the materials and in doing so releases water vapor into the air 3. The generator condenses the vapor into drinkable water. The system is powered off a sustainable battery storage pod and fits into a single 40-ft. transport container, meaning it can easily be distributed and used by communities far and wide. Simply magic. LEARN MORE: MAKING WATER FROM AIR CAMPAIGN INNOVATION IDEA 03 → CHECKMATE 8 Long before The Queen’s Gambit was trending on Netflix, researchers in New York have been busy perfecting chess AI. Researchers at Tisch University have developed a chess engine powered by AI that, unlike other AI games out there, isn’t built to beat their human rivals, and instead adds to the enjoyment of the game. Chess aficionados dedicate a significant amount of their time trying to perfect their plays and refine their strategies, while AI alternatives make for a dissatisfying tournament (as the technology is designed to quickly sense and learn from the human approach). Maia, the new chess AI engine, has been designed to play like a human so that the digital chess experience is more enjoyable. Its algorithms recognise what mistakes are typical at certain experience levels, so that the human player can pinpoint what areas they can perfect. This project aims to create AI that reduces the disparities between human and algorithmic behaviour by training the computer to use more human steps. LEARN MORE: YOU’RE IN CHECK CAMPAIGN INNOVATION IDEA 04 → ARE YOU INVITED? 9 Clubhouse, the invite-only, voice- based social network has been tipped as the next big thing in tech. The app is a live, audio-only platform that enables users to gather and discuss a variety of topics. No comments. No messaging. Voice- based communication only. And as for Android users… well, they’re not invited. Whilst it’s still in Beta mode, Clubhouse has already built a branding footprint with “some of the most sought-after names in the fashion, luxury goods, and consumer products markets in the world”, says CEO Amir Ben-Yohanan. The app is currently operating in an invite- only format, with users welcomed onto the system via an extensive waiting list. Time will tell what the potential could be for brands and influencers as the audio boom shows no sign of slowing down. Will podcasts be superseded by a real-time model? LEARN MORE: ARE YOU INVITED? CAMPAIGN INNOVATION IDEA 05 → STEP ASIDE VEGANUARY 10 Regenuary – Veganuary’s got competition. Managed to make it through January with your resolutions and revolutions intact? A curious new January-based challenge hit social media feeds and got added to the list this January. ‘Regenuary’ encourages participants to consume only non-imported foods where the animals and land have been farmed using regenerative agricultural practices. But the movement raises the question, what defines a sustainable diet? With vegan products typically coming from intensive farming, the campaign aims to provoke consumers to think further about their food habits and supporting local suppliers. It is increasingly clear in the great food debate is that this is not a binary argument – building a better food system consciously helps everyone and the planet, whether you’re a carnivore or a vegan. LEARN MORE: RETHINKING FOOD CAMPAIGN INNOVATION IDEA 06 → TRACING CHANGE 11 FMCG giant, Unilever, alongside US tech company Orbital Insight, has launched a pilot project to overhaul its traceability process. Satellite technology helps brands like Unilever in identifying where potential palm oil plants and farms are producing the highly controversial ingredient, with growing concerns around its ethical origins due to deforestation problems and the impact on natural wildlife. The project will use geolocation data to help identify potential farms that are most likely supplying palm oil. The GPS data will uncover links between a consistent flow of traffic in an area of land and a mill, providing a clearer picture around where harvested crops are coming from and whether this is causing deforestation. LEARN MORE: REIMAGINING TRACEABILITY CAMPAIGN INNOVATION IDEA 07 → TOP TRUMPS 12 Office and dignity: four bizarre years with Donald Trump. Opinions are divided on political satire during the age of Trump – with some arguing it was made impossible as he defied parody and others such as The Economist stating “President Trump is making satire great again”. Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin’s presidential quiz special put a new spin on the Trumpian visual language, with a striking and minimalist cover marking his departure. Whilst it might be easy to recognise superheroes or cartoon characters based on simple colour palettes, the same can rarely be said of world leaders. Time will tell whether his caricature and orange iconography will remain commonplace in culture.

  • Introduction to the Left and Right
    CHAPTER 1 • Introduction to the Left and Right EQUALITY AS A MORAL BASIS FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS DUSTIN CRUMMETT 1. Introduction The left contains great diversity of opinion, but a view known associal egalitari- anism is central to much leftist thought. My goal here is to explain and draw out some of the implications of social egalitarianism, in order to help you get a better sense of what unifies the left in the United States, and why that leads to leftists supporting the policies they do. Most people recognize equality as an important political value. But there are many ways in which people could be “equal,” and egalitarianism is significant only if we grasp what kind of equality is important. For instance, sometimes people think “equality” is supposed to mean that people should be made equally well-off, in some all-encompassing sense. This is satirized in Kurt Vonnegut’s short story “Harrison Bergeron.” The people in Harrison Bergeron’s dystopian society regard natural differences in ability as unjust, so they weigh strong people down with weights so they can’t use their strength, make smart people listen to static so they can’t concentrate, and so on. That kind of equality sounds dismal. On the other hand, people sometimes treat equality as requiring only that people be treated “the same” in some cheap sense. A few years ago, the Republican con- gresswoman Michele Bachmann responded to questions about gay marriage from two high school students, Jane Schmidt and Ella Newell. At this point, gay marriage was illegal in most of the United States, and Schmidt and Newell claimed this was an instance of discrimination against gay people.
