Your biology’s been hacked. Your naturally evolved appetite would allow you to eat exactly the right amount of food every day, except that most of us live in highly industrialised food environments today. Two of nutrition’s most productive scientists explain how we ended up here, and how you can eat healthier in an imbalanced food environment. ~~~ Why don’t animals need calorie trackers? Baboons don’t know the difference between fats and carbs, don’t follow a keto diet and don’t track what they eat. Yet we humans, who have all this technology at hand, are facing an obesity epidemic when no other animal seems to struggle with healthy eating. How is that possible? Professors Steve Simpson and David Raubenheimer have strived to answer that question for as long as they’ve worked together. By studying the feeding patterns of locusts and paying extra attention to protein, they’ve concluded that humans should be able to eat as well as the animals – but our modern food environment won’t let us. Steve is Academic Director of the Charles Perkins Centre, and a Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, and Executive Director of Obesity Australia. David is the Leonard P Ullmann Chair in Nutritional Ecology at the University of Sydney. +++ The Solutionists This episode was produced by Liam Riordan with sound design by Jeremy Wilmot.

Part 1 of this discussion examines psychology, philosophy, religion, spiritually, science, and medicine, a panel of five (5) people opens with the question, 'where am I?' and 'what is going on [in the world]?' and refers to James Hillman, ideas and action as an artificial distinction, are they the same thing? How are they interlinked? The poet Major Ragain is quoted, 'contemplation alters the course of rivers.' From the Bhagavad Gita: Freedom from action is not accomplished by abstaining from action, so how is it accomplished? Relinquishing the fruit of action Ghandi's, 'through service, I find myself.' The Panel begins to examine the Taoist concept of non-action, Wu Wei. How do we cultivate Wu Wei? The Panel explores Univerisal Truths. Natural action arises, we have a deep intrinsic calling, how do we find and express it? What is our reason for being here? To receive the Divine Will is a part of choiceless action. Biographies of Panel: Dr. Bob Insull is an New York State Licensed Psychologist with more than 60 years experience teaching, training, and treating in the arena of human behavior. In his clinical practice, he has worked across the developmental stages (children to golden-agers), across the diagnostic spectrum (chemical dependency, severe mental illness, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and PTSD), and treatment settings (clinics, inpatient psychiatric centers, and private practice). During the closing years of his practice, he became interested in the area of psychological trauma and worked with survivors in individual and group settings. He has been retired from active practice for about 15 years and spends his time engaged in self-discovery on the Sufi Path and social-change activities with his church. Brian Mistler is a Missouri-hillbilly curious about Reality. He has lived as a computer scientist, psychologist, running and growing businesses, and helping entrepreneurs, hospitals, and healthcare providers. Mid-life Brian had a partially debilitating nerve injury and soon after met a true Vedanta teacher who spent 30+ years in India and trained under Swami Chimayananda, Sawmi Dayananda, and others. This refocused his study of the classic non-dual wisdom as presented in the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads. Learn more at http://www.stillcenter.media. Hari Om Tat Sat. Peace, peace, peace.

In his return to office, President Donald Trump has intensified the use of tariffs as a central instrument of U.S. trade policy. Recent measures have expanded tariffs on strategic imports, particularly from China, and continued the application of steel and aluminum tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, as well as broader sanctions under Section 301 investigations into intellectual property practices. These policies have been positioned as efforts to protect national industries, reduce trade deficits, and bolster American economic sovereignty, while also signaling a more assertive U.S. approach to global commerce. Despite these intentions, the structure and execution of these tariff measures have introduced volatility into global markets. Empirical analyses indicate that while select domestic sectors have experienced short-term benefits, overall economic costs—including higher input prices, retaliatory tariffs from trading partners, and dampened investment—have offset many of the perceived gains. International institutions such as the IMF and WTO have linked prolonged tariff conflicts to downward revisions in global growth projections. Financial markets, in turn, have exhibited heightened sensitivity to tariff escalations, reflecting broader uncertainty about the sustainability of current trade policies. This episode examines the evolving nature of American trade strategy: What distinguishes short-term political signaling from durable economic policymaking? How have Trump's tariffs reshaped global supply chains, investor confidence, and the strategic positioning of U.S. industries? And as financial markets demand greater predictability and resilience, what future pathways could be pursued to align tariff and fiscal policy with long-term competitiveness and global stability? Our special guest this week is Professor Walid Hejazi. Professor Hejazi is the Academic Director of Executive Programs and Professor of International Business, Economic Analysis, and Policy at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. He is also a Fellow at the Michael Lee-Chin Family Institute for Corporate Citizenship and serves on the Board of Directors of the David & Sharon Johnston Centre for Corporate Governance Innovation. Over the course of his career, Professor Hejazi has advised private-sector firms and collaborated extensively with Canadian and international governments on foreign investment and international trade strategy. He has testified before parliamentary and senate committees, taught extensively in Rotman's MBA, EMBA, and executive education programs, and delivered lectures in over 30 countries worldwide. His research focuses on the intersection of global competitiveness, trade dynamics, and strategic economic policy, making his insights particularly timely for today's conversation. Join us as we delve into the consequences of tariff-driven protectionism, the gaps in America's current trade approach, and what more sustainable, market-stabilizing policies could look like in the years ahead.

Clare Hogan reports from Dundrum about new and old phrases. Amy Lightfoot, Academic Director, English and School Education, British Council, discusses.

In this episode, Dr. Yael Ziegler shares her thoughtful and layered approach to the study of Tanakh. Known for her deep literary readings and her commitment to both peshat and the broader interpretive tradition, she explains how elements like structure, repetition, and intertextuality shape her analysis of the biblical text. We explore her perspective on Midrash—not as a rewriting of the narrative, but as a sophisticated form of interpretation. Hazal, she explains, were keen readers of both peshat and derash, and even midrashim that appear far from the plain meaning often reflect a deep sensitivity to language, themes, and textual echoes found elsewhere in Tanakh. These interpretive moves open up new layers of meaning while remaining anchored in the biblical text. Dr. Ziegler illustrates this approach through striking examples involving Rachel and Leah, Moshe, Eliyahu, and more. She also reflects on the role of classical commentators like Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Radak, and Ramban, pointing out that these thinkers were highly attuned literary readers—even without the benefit of the modern tools we rely on today. Their insights continue to offer profound guidance in how we read and engage with Tanakh. Toward the end of the episode, Dr. Ziegler briefly touches on her book Ruth: From Alienation to Monarchy, and how it exemplifies her broader methodology: combining rigorous textual analysis with a deep respect for tradition. This conversation offers a window into a kind of Tanakh study that is both intellectually grounded and deeply rooted in the interpretive legacy of our tradition.---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh and to the neshama of Meir ben Moshe a'h — Abdolrahim Ilian, the late father of our dear friend, Rod Ilian. ---• Bio: Dr. Yael Ziegler is the Rosh Batei Midrash and Academic Director of Matan and an Assistant Professor in Tanakh at Herzog College.

We hope to live a life filled with joy, excitement, contentment, purpose, love, meaning and transcendence. Whereas sadness, pain, grief, loneliness, anger, jealousy and anxiety, aren't so much fun. And when things take a turn for the worst, we can fall into a number of clinical disorders, including depression, which are sadly all too prevalent. But we're lucky to live in a society where there's real expertise to help us through these difficult emotions; clinical psycho therapies, medicine, even evidence-based life hacks like exercise, sleep and the right diet. And if we want to move from just surviving to thriving, we have a whole movement in positive psychology to help define the tools needed to really live our best lives.For who doesn't want to be happy? It's not just that happy people tend to be more successful (and yes, recent studies show that causation in fact moves in that direction rather than the other way). It's that it feels better to be happy, than sad. And we're hard wired to choose pleasure over pain. But do we need to challenge the assumptions that sit behind our cultural obsession with happiness? If we put all our energy into improving our wellbeing and happiness, are we missing out on hugely valuable and potentially transformative experiences that lie in those less pleasant shadow emotions? Should we lean into, rather than avoid feelings of sadness, anxiety, fear and loneliness?

The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Master of Science in Design + Innovation program is making a difference through its Design Horizon initiative. Inspired by the Wisconsin Idea, this initiative helps students create solutions that benefit people, animals, and plants across the state. “We’ve expanded our focus to explore how design can support all living things in Wisconsin,” said Trudy Watt, Academic Director of the program. “By working with partners, students tackle real-world problems that contribute to living well in the state.” Last year, students created the Anthofile Toolkit. This project encouraged native plantings to improve foraging habitats for pollinators. The students developed a digital slide deck and an app to help homeowners and landscape designers choose native plants. “They wanted to dispel myths that native plants are messy or hard to maintain,” Watt explained.

In this episode of A Productive Conversation, I sit down with Scott Doorley and Carissa Carter to explore the themes of their book, Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide for Designing a Thriving Future. As leaders at Stanford's d.school—Scott as Creative Director and Carissa as Academic Director—they've spent years shaping design education and innovation. Our discussion goes beyond traditional design thinking and into the complexities of decision-making, efficiency, and the balance between logic and emotion. We also explore the concept of Runaway Design, how the speed of technological change is shaping our world, and why embracing imperfection is essential for building a better future. Key Discussion Points What Runaway Design is and why we need to "unmake" it to build a better future. The importance of balancing emotion and logic when making decisions. Why uncertainty is inevitable—and how to design with it rather than against it. The role of pausing and curiosity in responding to challenges rather than reacting. How to find harmony in work, life, and productivity instead of seeking rigid balance. Why meaningful work should be measured by quality rather than quantity. The impact of AI, synthetic biology, and other evolving technologies on how we design the future. Scott and Carissa's insights offer a thought-provoking look at how we navigate complexity, make better decisions, and create a world that is both innovative and intentional.

How do we shift from an obsession with economic growth to a focus on human and planetary wellbeing? On this episode of The Sustainability Journey, we speak with Lorenzo Fioramonti, former Italian Minister of Education and Academic Director at Nativa Campus. Lorenzo introduces the concept of a wellbeing economy, where development is measured by its impact on quality of life, not consumption. Drawing from examples like New Zealand's wellbeing budget, Lorenzo highlights the policies, education reforms, and business innovations needed to create a sustainable and just future. With thought-provoking insights such as "We need to build an economy that improves quality of life within planetary boundaries," this episode offers a roadmap for change.    

Richard Amerling, MD, is both a great clinician and a sustaining pillar in the health freedom movement. Among other things, he is a past president and current board member of the only medical association that is specifically and genuinely devoted to medical freedom, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Its medical journal was the only one to review our book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey, and it is a sanctuary for freedom doctors.   We talked about some personal experiences — how Richard started me on a carnivore diet that vastly improved my health and our dismay as we witnessed up-close the deterioration of medicine throughout the years.   I'm so enthusiastic about helping Richard's new medical education project that you might wonder if I'm getting paid for advertising or participating in it, but as you'll hear in this interview, I'm actually volunteering for free. My connection to the new program is through Richard, who has recently become Academic Director of GoldCare: Health and Wellness. GoldCare – Health & Wellness   The founder of GoldCare is Simone Gold, MD, a hero of the freedom movement and founder of America's Frontline Doctors. Dr. Gold selects the healthcare providers in GoldCare. She and Richard know each other well and have worked together since early in the health freedom movement.    Richard has always been devoted to innovating better medical services for the people. I've collaborated with Richard as a volunteer in one of his earlier projects, and now I'm again an unpaid consultant to him on GoldCare. We share a rare goal of helping patients understand the dangers of psychiatric drugs and how to safely withdraw from them. We are looking at how to start from the ground up to include a critique of psychiatry and a program for psychiatric drug withdrawal in GoldCare's telemedicine program. As a part of his medical education team, I will be conducting seminars and recording talks for online GoldCare.      I won't be seeing patients through GoldCare because I have my own private practice of psychiatry and psychotherapy, but it's so hard to find good doctors in any specialty today that we must develop new approaches like GoldCare.   In this interview, we talk about the desperate need for “alternative medical care.” However, GoldCare should not really be considered an “alternative” because it is more faithful than mainstream medicine to older, better traditions of medical treatment, such as putting the well-being of the patient first and, above all, other concerns. It is about medical freedom and individualized care without conformity to authoritarian interference.   The idea is to have your own family doctor, primary care physician, or internist who actually belongs to a genuine medical freedom telemedicine service run by heroes of the resistance to COVID oppression.   After the show was over, I asked Richard Amerling if he was open to my mentioning that he is available as a medical consultant at GoldCare to take new patients, and he said, “Yes.” But he was not promoting himself until I brought it up.

What are the ethical responsibilities of designers today and what long-term impacts do they need to consider as they design? Who does the label of ‘designer' actually apply to?Scott Doorley and Carissa Carter are designers, writers, and educators. Scott is the Creative Director and Carissa is the Academic Director and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University's d.school. They are also co-authors of the new book Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future from the Stanford d.school.Greg, Scott, and Carissa discuss the evolution and impact of design thinking, the pervasive nature of design in today's world, and the importance of being intentional with design choices. They also highlight key concepts from their book such as the significance of noticing unintended consequences, embracing awkwardness, and understanding the role of constraints in the design process. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Stanford D.SchoolNeedfinding for Wicked ProblemsMarc AndreessenUnSILOed Episode 03: Charles O'Reilly IIIGuest Profile:Scott Doorley Stanford D.

If you get it so-called right, something's going to change outside of you that's going to render it not effectual,  in some matter of time. Or you're going to get that right, but you're going to miss something else. I was talking to a guy who teaches here, and he teaches entrepreneurs, and he was saying, “You're going to fail somewhere. It might be at your business, it might be at your family, it might be at your health, but if you're really trying to do something hard, there's going to be failure.” So you just have to get used to it, acknowledge it, and then work with it. You've got to accept it as part of the design because it is.We are all designers03:34:[Carissa Carter] Whether you are a person that designs things, systems, or technologies, whether or not you call yourself a designer in your job title, if you are a part of making things and bringing them into the world, that's design work, and it's really important to pay attention to that.Navigating design in a world of constraints42:03: [Scott Doorley] The idea of transcending constraints is appealing, but what designers are doing is shifting the realm of what they're saying—no, these are the constraints that matter; this other one that we thought mattered doesn't matter. And they're really just hell-bent on figuring out: what is the set of constraints that work?Embedding vision into everyday actions42:03: [Scott Doorley] This ability to go big and go detailed can't be overstated because that's where things start to feel congruent, right? If I say, "Oh, my organization believes in X," but that's not coming through in the way someone's greeted when they come to the door, it's just going to feel off, and it just doesn't feel right. It just doesn't feel good. So that ability to be like, "Okay, not only are we going to have a vision, but we're going to embed it in the day-to-day that we do." You could think of that as parenting. That's sort of how a teacher sets up a classroom. That's clearly how a leader should lead an organization, in my opinion, because then you don't have to talk about the values—they're there. It's a hard thing to do. Frankly, sometimes I'd feel like we're on it. Sometimes I feel like we're missing the mark. It's not a static thing. You have to keep iterating and keep responding to what's going on.

It perpetuates the predominant mindset that leadership development is a like a pass to an amusement park. You go on a bunch of rides, maybe play some games, have a laugh or two, and write it off as your developmental investment in leadership for the year.""Attending a few workshops or programs spread out over time is not going to do much in terms of developing expert-level leadership. There needs to bean ongoing commitment to practicing one's leadership to get the timeand amount of deliberate practice to become that expert leader.""The lack of evidence to support the effectiveness of leadership development in for-profit organizations and corporations is unsettling, to say the least.""Sending a changed person back into an unchanged system tends to be an exercise in futility. A systems perspective incorporates environmental influence into the design and delivery of leader development interventions."Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeDavid Day on Google ScholarBook: Developing Leaders and Leadership: Principles, Practices, and Processes by DayAssessment:  International Personality Item Pool (IPIP)Book: Tiny Habits by BJ FoggBook: The Power Broker by Robert CaroNetwork - Criterion ChannelAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.

Colombia is a country that has been racked by conflict for around 60 years - multiple armed groups and organized crime have waged war against each other and the state.In 2016, after nearly seven years of negotiations, the FARC demobilized, creating a power vacuum that other groups, such as the National Liberation Army (ELN), Clan del Golfo, and FARC dissidents, quickly filled. Despite the FARC's exit, violence persisted, with cocaine production and illegal mining continuing unabated, leaving many communities under the control of criminal organizations.In 2022, the President of Colombia Gustavo Petro brought forward new legislation, known as 'Total Peace'. This ambitious and wide ranging policy looks to negotiate with all criminal groups, whether they are politically minded, like the FARC were or organized crime. Why? To help reduce violence, in particularly homicides, but also to try a new approach to end these long-running conflicts.One of the key players in these negotiations was the ELN, the oldest guerrilla group in the world. The Petro administration expressed optimism, claiming a peace agreement could be reached within three months of taking office. However, over two years later, those talks have stalled and ultimately collapsed, raising questions about the future of peace efforts in Colombia.Speaker(s):Juanita Durán-Vélez, Lawyer, Crime and Justice Lab, Colombia.Kyle Johnson, Researcher & Academic Director of the Conflict Responses Foundation, Bogotá, ColombiaFelipe Botero Escobar, Head of Andean Regional Office, Global Initiative against Transnational Organized CrimeLinks:Andean Regional Office, Global Initiative against Transnational Organized CrimeGlobal Initiative against Transnational Organized CrimePodcast & Article - Clan del Golfo: The fall of 'Otoniel': How Colombia's biggest drug lord was taken down.The base research (Negotiating with Criminal Groups: Colombia´s Total Peace Policy) for this episode was initially developed and supported by Serious Organized Crime and Anticorruption Evidence research program.Additional...

In this episode; How did they come to write a book on human nutrition? How Stella the baboon shocked them when they studied her diet. What they found when they studied different animals and their diet. The million dollar question how or does this apply to humans? Why we MUST meet our protein requirements and what happens when we don't. What is protein leverage? How much should our average protein intake be as humans? Could this explain the obesity epidemic? What did they discover when they did a massive experience on fruit flies to see if the popular theory that calorie restriction helped with longevity. Or if it was what they ate that made the difference? Flies versus humans. What is the problem eating too much protein? Why is it better for reproduction but not longevity? Looking to the science of what we ate as hunter gatherers what does it tell us? How our needs for protein from birth to death changes? https://www.eatliketheanimals.com/  Listen to the full episode: https://karenmartel.com/eat-like-the-animals/ Happy Mammoth: For a limited time, you can get 15% off Hormone Harmony and on your entire first order at happymammoth.com just use the code KM15 at checkout.    Are you in peri or post menopause and looking to optimize your hormones and health?

How can we design and adapt for the uncertainties of the 21st century? How do emotions shape our decisions and the way we design the world around us?Scott Doorley is the Creative Director at Stanford's d. school and co author of Make Space. He teaches design communication and his work has been featured in museums and architecture and urbanism and the New York Times. Carissa Carter is the Academic Director at Stanford's d. school and author of The Secret Language of Maps. She teaches courses on emerging technologies and data visualization and received Fast Company and Core 77 awards for her work on designing with machine learning and blockchain. Together, they co authored Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future.“Today, someone is putting the finishing touches on a machine-­ learning algorithm that will change the way you relate to your family. Someone is trying to design a way to communicate with animals in their own language. Someone is designing a gene that alters bacteria to turn your poop bright blue when it's time to see the doctor. Someone is cleaning up the mess someone else left behind seventy years ago yesterday. Today, someone just had an idea that will end up saving one thing while it harms another…To be a maker in this moment—­ to be a human today—­ is to collaborate with the world. It is to create and be created, to work and be worked on, to make and be made. To be human is to tinker, create, fix, care, and bring new things into the world. It is to design. You—­ yes, you!—­ might design products or policy, services or sermons, production lines or preschool programs. You might run a business, make art, or participate in passing out meals to the poor. You may write code or pour concrete, lobby for endangered species legislation or craft cocktails. Wherever you fit in, you are part of shaping the world. This is design work.”– Assembling TomorrowA Guide to Designing a Thriving Futurewww.scottdoorley.comwww.snowflyzone.comhttps://dschool.stanford.edu/www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/623529/assembling-tomorrow-by-scott-doorley-carissa-carter-and-stanford-dschool-illustrations-by-armando-veve/www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastImage credit: Patrick Beaudouin
