The Man Who Stole Infinity | Quanta Magazine
In an 1874 paper, Georg Cantor proved that there are different sizes of infinity and changed math forever. A trove of newly unearthed letters shows that it was also an act of plagiarism. 7
The Normalization Of Corruption In Organizations
Organizational corruption imposes a steep cost on society, easily dwarfing that of street crime. We examine how corruption becomes normalized, that is, embedded in the organization such that it is more or less taken for granted and perpetuated. We argue that three mutually reinforcing processes underlie normalization: (1)institutionalization, where an initial corrupt decision or act becomes embedded in structures and processes and thereby routinized; (2) rationalization, where self-serving ideologies develop to justify and perhaps even valorize corruption; and (3)socialization, where na¨ıve newcomers are induced to view corruption as permissible if not desirable. The model helps explain how otherwise morally upright individuals can routinely engage in corruption without experiencing conflict, how corruption can persist despite the turnover of its initial practitioners, how seemingly rational organizations can engage in suicidal corruption and how an emphasis on the individual as evildoer misses the point that systems and individuals are mutually reinforcing.

What Are Your Guilty Displeasures?
A guilty pleasure is something you genuinely like, but that clashes with your self image. For example, you might really be a fan of Paris Hilton, but feel that you’re the kind of person who should not be a fan of Paris Hilton. If you ever tell someone you like Paris Hilton, you’ll say it with just enough coyness that your interlocutor will understand that you shouldn’t be mistaken for that kind of person. A guilty displeasure is the same thing, in reverse. It’s something you genuinely don’t like much, but feel like you should, because the kind of person you are, or aspire to be, must like that thing.

Dense, dark forests in Europe are a modern phenomenon
For over 20 million years, the landscape of Europe has been a tree-rich mosaic of grasslands, scrubs and more or less open woodlands with an abundance of wildflowers. This is the conclusion of a new and comprehensive study of Europe’s vegetation history—a study that suggests modern afforestation runs counter to the continent’s long-term ecological trajectory.
