We cover it all today wind, pottery, mischeief and pancakes! We learn about Barute's background and early life, how she ended up in Borneo, her connection with orangutans, challenges of outdoor living, and Barute's discoveries. The conversation delves into the behaviour and environment of orangutans, the challenges of caring for orphaned baby orangutans, the impact and legacy of conservation work, the threats to orangutans, and the power of curiosity and care in driving conservation efforts. It emphasizes the importance of consumer awareness and responsibility in conservation, as well as the role of individuals in continuing conservation efforts.

The conversation delves into the individual's significance in the face of big data, the erosion of privacy, historical context, resistance, and hope for change in surveillance capitalism. It emphasizes the need for regulatory measures and the future viewpoint on unregulated corporate influence and how one woman's work is heavily influencing that because she has seen it and done it all since the 80s! There is hope when it comes to big data and privacy. Dr Zuboff!
