Wilhelm Reich - Vor 50 Jahren starb der Mann, der sexuelle und soziale Revolution einen wollte


Er wurde verehrt, verachtet, verfolgt, verlacht und und wurde dennoch zum Idol einer ganzen Studentengeneration. Zehn Jahre nach seinem Herztod in einem amerikanischen Gefängnis wurde der Psychoanalytiker Wilhelm Reich von der europäischen Studentenbewegung der späten 60er und 70er Jahre zum Vordenker gekürt. Seine Abhandlungen über «Die Funktion des Orgasmus» oder zur «Massenpsychologie des Faschismus» fehlten in kaum einem Bücherregal der Linken. Doch seither ist es wieder still geworden um Wilhelm Reich, der am 3. November 1957 gestorben ist. Ein halbes Jahrhundert nach seinem Tod erinnern Wissenschaftler in aller Welt in diesen Tagen an den Mann, der zu den umstrittensten seines Faches gehörte, und dessen grundlegende Arbeiten im Bereich der Psychoanalyse dennoch bis heute Gültigkeit behalten haben.

50th anniversary of Wilhelm Reich’s death


It was 50 years ago that physician-scientist Wilhelm Reich, best known for his discovery of a purported cosmic life force associated with sexual orgasm, died in federal prison, his books burned and his equipment destroyed by the government.

Ridiculed at the time, the European-born psychiatrist is today largely forgotten and his work on what he called orgone energy remains outside the scientific mainstream.

But a small number of scientists and other believers are working to advance his studies -- and resurrect his reputation.

Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should ever be more than an empty political slogan. ~ Wilhelm Reich

Is The Google/Firefox Relationship A Conflict Of Interest?


CNET's Chris Soghoian raises some concerns about Google's close relationship with the Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit that owns the Firefox trademark. He points out that the vast majority of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google, and notes a number of ways that Firefox is configured to use Google as the default for various online services. Soghoian is right that close scrutiny of these sorts of relationships is healthy. However, it's pretty hard to get too worked up about the specific problems he cites.

Device Created for 'Red Wine Headache'


The effects are all too familiar: a fancy dinner, some fine wine and then, a few hours later, a racing heart and a pounding headache. But a device developed by University of California, Berkeley, researchers could help avoid the dreaded "red wine headache."

Chemists working with NASA-funded technology designed to find life on Mars have created a device they say can easily detect chemicals that many scientists believe can turn wine and other beloved indulgences into ingredients for agony.
