  TRUST MODE – The Jet That Could...

  What happens when a fighter jet can say no? TRUST MODE – The Jet That Could Say No tells the true story of how Switzerland turned the F/A-18 Hornet into something far more than a standard combat aircraft. Behind the cockpit, speed and raw power lies another world: software, logic, national requirements and carefully defined limits. In this world, the aircraft does not simply obey. Under certain conditions, its systems can question, restrict or prevent what the pilot is trying to do. That changes the relationship between human and machine. Christoph P. Wyss explores the Swiss F/A-18 as a case study in modern technology, sovereignty and trust. How much authority should software have? What happens when military systems begin to encode rules, constraints and national priorities directly into their logic? And what does it mean for the pilot when the machine becomes more than a passive tool? Told in a cinematic, accessible style, TRUST MODE blends aviation, engineering and real-world technology with the tension of science fiction — except this story is real. This is not an MBA lecture, a technical manual or a dry military history. It is a story about the moment when code, judgement and human responsibility meet at hundreds of knots. SCI-FACT-FI — The Facts That Matter. The Stories That Make Them Fun.

  Medicine

  What happens when medicine's reputation for scientific authority exceeds the science behind its practice? 
   
  Written during a transformative period in American medicine, Medicine is a provocative and fiercely skeptical examination of doctors, medical science, public health, and the rapidly changing business of healthcare. 
   
  The author challenges the assumption that the practice of medicine and the science of disease are one and the same. From the traditional family physician to the rise of specialists, surgeons, medical groups, laboratories, and organized public-health campaigns, the essay examines how scientific discovery, human credulity, commercial interests, professional authority, and moral beliefs became intertwined in American medicine. 
   
  Along the way, Medicine questions contemporary medical theories and treatments, scrutinizes the growing commercialization of the profession, and argues for a more rigorous distinction between genuine experimental science and medical practice based upon assumption, tradition, or incomplete evidence. 
   
  Originally published anonymously in 1922, the essay was later attributed to bacteriologist and science writer Paul de Kruif. More than a century later, it offers listeners a fascinating—and often startling—window into an era when modern American medicine was still defining its relationship with science. 
   
  Narrated by John Riddle, Medicine is a provocative historical document about science, skepticism, professional authority, and the evolution of American healthcare.
