2. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. King George III exerted unprecedented power by using £800,000 from the royal treasury to essentially purchase the interests of roughly 30% of Parliament. This financial influence allowed him to control Britishpolicy as a monarchical act, even while claiming to defend parliamentary authority. Benjamin Franklin initially sought to bridge the gap between the empire and the colonies by proposing a British Commonwealth model. However, after being publicly humiliated by the Privy Council, Franklin was radicalized, becoming an incalculable asset for the American cause as a wise and patient diplomatic negotiator. (2)

No, Benjamin Franklin did not invent Daylight Saving Time. But he did muse about its practicality in a 1784 essay. So, if Franklin didn't invent DST, where did all this springing forward come from? Bob calls up Chad Orzel (A Brief History of Timekeeping: The Science of Marking Time, from Stonehenge to Atomic Clocks) to get to the bottom of this question. Oh, and don't forget to change your clocks today!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – As the push for independence intensifies in 1776, Pennsylvania's delegation stands divided. Benjamin Franklin's influence begins to shift opinions as James Wilson and John Morton reconsider their stance. A dramatic series of votes ultimately changes Pennsylvania's position, helping tip the balance toward independence and shaping the outcome of the Continental Congress decision...

Het was een drastisch experiment. Een nieuwe natie beginnen met een tot in de puntjes uitgevoerde trias politica, 250 jaar geleden de meest moderne theorie van de Franse politieke filosofie. De Amerikanen durfden het aan, ze begonnen een republiek met een gekozen volksvertegenwoordiging, een gekozen staatshoofd van beperkte termijn en met onafhankelijke rechtspraak en een Hooggerechtshof. Vader des vaderlands George Washington werd dat staatshoofd, boven de partijen en gespeend van persoonlijke ambitie. Die volksvertegenwoordiging werd meteen gekozen, tussen november 1788 en maart 1789. Het experiment werd zonder omhalen concreet gemaakt en uitgeprobeerd. Lukte dat? Hoe dan? Merk je daar nu nog wat van? Is die volksvertegenwoordiging van toen nog herkenbaar in het huidige Huis van Afgevaardigden? Hoe werkt dat parlement in de dagelijkse praktijk? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken daar in met Pirmin Olde Weghuis, die in 2015 als jong medewerker op Capitol Hill rondliep en zo een blik kon werpen in die machinekamer van een wereldmacht, in dat hart van de historie van die 250 jaar oude democratie. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Grace Napolitano was al in de 80 en vertegenwoordigde haar San Gabriel Valley in California al decennia. Noordwest van Los Angeles was haar district gevuld met suburbs met in meerderheid Latino-kiezers. Elke twee jaar kon zij als Democraat op hen rekenen bij weer een volgende herverkiezing. Als stagiair uit Nederland kon Pirmin overal rondkijken, assisteren bij contacten met dat district en Napolitano’s kiezers en zo de sfeer en dagelijkse werkzaamheden van het Huis meebeleven. En hij ontmoette ook andere legendes, zoals de rechterhand van Martin Luther King, ooit een rebelse studentenleider: John Lewis, de man van “Make trouble, good trouble.” Het Huis – samen met de Senaat het Congres - is een volwaardig deel van de trias en heeft een eigen kiezersmandaat. Al vanaf dag één was het een door en door politieke arena, ook al beriep men zich steeds op 'bipartisanship' en 'nationaal belang'. In het Huis wordt geknokt met machtsmiddelen. Bovendien is het Huis - anders dan in Europa gebruikelijk - de maker van de federale begroting. De speaker bezit hier de macht over de schatkist, niet de president! En de zittingstermijn van twee jaar dwingt de leden van het Huis permanent hun district en de achterban daar alle aandacht te geven. Pirmin Olde Weghuis zag ook dat in de praktijk. In de 250 jaar historie is veel veranderd, niet in het minst de locaties en faciliteiten van het Huis. Maar het opvallendst is toch hoe wéinig er veranderd is. Veel van de zeden, begrippen en machtsfactoren zijn nog altijd achttiende-eeuws en grijpen terug naar het bewind van legendarische voorzitters en Huis-leden die een groot stempel drukten op de geschiedenis van de democratie. De eerste speaker, Frederick Muhlenberg, zette al direct de toon bij het door en door machtspolitieke invullen van deze functie. Hij was politiek leider van de meerderheid van de nieuwgekozen leden én de voorzitter die de orde en agenda van het Huis bewaakte. Dat is sindsdien nooit meer veranderd. De meest legendarische parlementariër was niet een van de speakers, maar een voormalig president. Alleen John Quincy Adams werd na zijn termijn als president (1824-1828) lid van het Huis en excelleerde in wetgeving en strijd tegen de slavernij en voor de burgerrechten. 'Old man eloquent' stierf in zijn bankje tijdens een vergadering in 1848. Andere speakers waren minstens zo effectief en machtig. Henry Clay was bijvoorbeeld ook nog Senator, Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken en de grote inspirator van Abraham Lincoln. En een groot gokker, overigens. Nicholas Longworth was fameus om de elegante, moeiteloze manier waarmee hij de macht van de speaker over het Huis onaantastbaar wist te maken. "Een Tsaar, maar je had dat niet door." Fameuzer was nog dat hij trouwde met ‘de prinses van Washington DC', presidentsdochter Alice Roosevelt. Zij werd bijna honderd, ontmoette meer presidenten dan wie ook, was berucht om haar scherpe tong, machtige netwerk en als de ontdekker van Richard Nixon. Niemand was vaker en langer speaker dan 'Mister Sam'. Sam Rayburn was van 1913 tot 1961 lid van het Huis, invloedrijk wetgever voor de modernste infrastructuur en 17 jaar lang de speaker. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had ontzag voor hem, wist ook hoe loyaal hij was, wist van zijn onkreukbare integriteit en hoe hij de grootste staatsgeheimen - zoals de bouw van de atoombom - kon wegmoffelen in de begroting. Rayburn was een van de zeer weinigen die precies wist wat hier geprobeerd werd te ontdekken en te realiseren. Zijn protegé - net als hij uit Texas - was Lyndon Johnson, wiens carrière hij tot zijn dood met alle middelen bevorderde. Ale speakers na 'Mister Sam' zijn diens discipelen gebleken. Tip O'Neill in zijn openlijke machtsstrijd met zowel partijgenoot Jimmy Carter als met opponent Ronald Reagan. Nancy Pelosi als eerste vrouw die bijna zo lang als Rayburn diende en wier greep op het Huis en de president bijna zo legendarisch werd. De MAGA-speakers van nu kunnen niet in hun schaduw staan. Dat eigen mandaat binnen de trias politica hebben zij bijna geheel verspeeld. Ook daarom zullen de 'midterms' van november zo cruciaal blijken. *** Verder luisteren 250 jaar Verenigde Staten 281 - Fourth of July: Amerika reisgids voor politieke junkies https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d1f6fb79-49b3-456e-a7b3-b09ddf2a5ae8 382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/c44ec04f-9408-41be-b5e3-3fab8905ab66 519 - Thomas Jefferson, de revolutionaire schrijver van de Onafhankelijkheidsverklaring https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/62bc338c-78f6-4cba-a7ab-1718ce679e81 459 – Rolmodel George Washington https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/92f012be-cd93-4928-b3b3-5bef409c6bca 397 - Benjamin Franklin, Zijner Majesteits meest loyale rebel https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/18e40074-a4f4-4752-8dc9-6fbdaf8c91f0 513 – Tanks rollen door Washington DC, 250 jaar US Army https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d60c7997-538c-4064-a0fc-b21dd2e2478d 494 - Trumps aanval op de geschiedenis en de geest van Amerika https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/ec4b170a-05a9-4af3-9010-c0986376dd3a 142 - De smerigste verkiezingscampagnes in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/2975aea6-29e6-4756-acfa-b331cbcf4f0c Grote parlementariërs 473 - 2025. 200 jaar John Quincy Adams president https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1aeb5474-57fe-49a8-a98a-d014372079c3 475 – Trumps rolmodel Andrew Jackson https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/06d493a9-b8fd-4fb9-a125-6399192697c0 481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning’ https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/018eaa63-b81a-4b17-9342-e98ee53bf516 221 - Madam Speaker: de spijkerharde charme van Nancy Pelosi https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/e8781d8f-a367-4df5-9459-ab071fb9e4ac 472 - Winterboekeneditie - Nancy Pelosi 'The Art of Power' https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/8c25a5e4-9cee-4656-b226-8cbbb6f2c6a5 319 - Lyndon B.

McKay investigates the concept of the "Matthew effect," a phenomenon where early advantages and earnest effort compound into lifelong success. Throughout the episode, he reveals exactly how this powerful principle explains why early starters in business, sports, and education disproportionately outperform their peers over the long term.Drawing on Benjamin Franklin as well as Canadian youth hockey, McKay highlights how a small initial edge provides momentum for mastery. He examines Watson and Crick's recognition over Rosalind Franklin, showing how early visibility becomes a cumulative career advantage. By analyzing compounding early investments and the network effects of giants like Facebook, he explains why creating early team success is vital for long-term growth. Ultimately, the Matthew effect empowers leaders to build systems supporting early success while preventing the gap for late starters.Main Themes:Cumulative advantage as the primary driver of long-term successThe "Matthew effect" philosophy in education, sports, and wealthBuilding momentum through early, dedicated practiceThe hidden impact of birth dates and cutoff systems on professional masteryWhy early successes and wins ensure long-term team durabilityThe compounding nature of early financial investmentsReducing the achievement gap by supporting late startersThe network effect: How early adoption creates self-reinforcing cyclesThe Rosalind Franklin case: Visibility, prestige, and scientific creditCreating organizational structures that guarantee early team successTop 10 Quotes:"Franklin did not inherit wealth or standing; he simply started early.""Early advantage plus earnest effort creates momentum, and momentum changes long-term outcomes.""Success tends to breed more success. The rich got richer, and the renowned got more recognition.""Small initial advantages lead to greater opportunities over time.""Those who delay or dip their toe in the water tend to never really get in the water.""Early, dedicated practice yields disproportionate results.""The sooner a learner gains confidence and skill, the more likely they are to seek challenges, practice, and succeed in subsequent tasks over time.""Money makes money. And the money that makes money makes more money.""Advantage begets further advantage, and disadvantage tends to compound into further disadvantage.""The people who succeed often do so not because they were born ahead, but because they took early action, earned opportunities with effort, and continuously positioned themselves to benefit from the subsequent growth."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

In this special American Revolution 250 episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and Kelley Brown, Massachusetts state champion U.S. history and civics teacher, sit down with renowned Brown University historian Gordon Wood to explore the life and legacy of Benjamin Franklin and the American Revolution. Drawing on his book, The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin, Prof. Wood examines Franklin's journey from obscure beginnings in colonial Massachusetts to global fame as an entrepreneur, scientist, and statesman. He discusses Franklin's embrace of Enlightenment ideals, his rise in Philadelphia through printing, publishing and civic leadership, and his immense wealth, which fueled his image as America's quintessential self-made man. Prof. Wood also traces Franklin's evolution from loyal British subject and aspiring gentleman to revolutionary American patriot. In closing, he highlights Franklin's scientific genius, his pivotal diplomatic triumph in securing the 1778 French alliance, and enduring cultural symbolism as the embodiment of American ingenuity and statesmanship.

Roger welcomes Samuel Goldman, associate professor of humanities at the University of Florida's Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education and TFAS faculty member, for a conversation about American political thought, civic education and the ideas that sustain a free society. Goldman reflects on his academic journey, his work teaching TFAS students in Washington and his commitment to helping young people engage seriously with the founding principles of the United States. They discuss Goldman's approach to teaching the Declaration of Independence by reading it closely and treating it as a carefully constructed argument about the purposes of government. Goldman explains how studying Jefferson's writings, “The Federalist Papers” and “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin” helps students understand both the ideals and the imperfections of the American founding. They also explore the growth of civic centers such as the Hamilton School, the decline of civic literacy in K-12 education, the role of religion in public life, the influence of Adam Smith and how the founders might assess the condition of the republic 250 years later.The Liberty + Leadership Podcast is hosted by TFAS president Roger Ream and produced by Podville Media.

In Money and Promises: Seven Deals That Changed the World, the distinguished banker, executive, and historian Paolo Zannoni examines the complex relationship between states and banks that has changed the world. Drawing on in-depth archival research, he explores seven case studies: the republic of Pisa, seventeenth-century Venice, the early years of the Bank of England, imperial Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the nascent United States during the American Revolution, and Bolshevik Russia in 1917 through 1923. Zannoni also tells the story of how the Continental Congress established the first public bank in North America, exploring the roles of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton.

Optometry historians observe 23rd February, 1305 as the day eyeglasses were perhaps first discussed in public, when friar Giordano de Rivalto stood at the pulpit and declared that he had personally met the man who invented spectacles... Except, frustratingly, he forgot to mention the bloke's name. One popular contender for the title is Salvino D'Armati, a Florentine said to have created the first glasses in 1284. The only problem? His story turned out to be a hoax—his supposed 1317 epitaph even used the word "inventor," which didn't exist yet. But the connection to the church is legit, as the earliest wearers of glasses were usually monks, because they were the nation's biggest bookworms. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly romp through a brief history of optometry, learning how ear hooks first came to the fore; explaining how Seneca used early lenses to assist his reading; and revealing Benjamin Franklin's surprising role in the world of bifocals… Further Reading: • ‘Through the looking glass' (British Library, 2019): https://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2019/02/medieval-spectacles.html • ‘The history of spectacles' (College of Optometrists): https://www.college-optometrists.org/the-british-optical-association-museum/the-history-of-spectacles • ‘Why so many people need glasses now' (Vox, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAkFtka3UFw Love the show?

Overnight snow storm composite — my a.m. recording of the massive ⁠January 23–27 storm⁠ with some notes and late 70s radio blizzard coverage. Speaking of storms of yore, do y'all remember the email storm? They're the Mona Lisa of human/ tech pratfalls. An email storm, or replyallcalypse, is when a surge of emails is exchanged as users continually “reply all” to the original message. Modern inboxes have safeguards to prevent email storms — which is a shame, as I'm positive humans are still willing to ensnare themselves. I witnessed an impressive email storm in the mid-aughts while working for Newscorp. So, twenty years ago — second Bush administration — think Wii Bowling and High School Musical. I was at a Fox owned-and-operated station in Philadelphia… it was Newscorp (boo, amirite), but also one of the favorite places I've worked (colleagues were cool, and it was a paid TV gig in an actually awesome city, Jim's was within lunchtime walking distance). But seriously — commercial television news: don't watch it. You don't need it.Look — picture the aughts, the golden age of the mobile phone. A cellphone store felt like sticking your face into the 2005 movie Robots. Different sizes, colors, shapes, personalities. They flipped, had tactile keyboards, and looked fab in a holster. My cellphone was a Nokia N-Gage QD (so sick).I worked the morning show (4 a.m. start), graphics. So, on the Fox Email Storm morning, I wandered by Independence Hall and fragments of Benjamin Franklin's former home. I buzzed into the lobby and was immediately intercepted by a PA.“Do not respond to the email.”And I was like, “What?”“There are emails. Delete them and don't respond.”“Which email? What?”“You'll know,” she said, already rushing to the next person. “Do not respond to the email.”The IT guy caught me getting off the elevator on the second floor. “Do not reply to the email or you will be ******* fired.” And he smiled to soften the threat, but I was sure he wasn't kidding.Ooph — intrusive memory. That was the same elevator where I once felt alone enough to stop fighting a fart… and then a ringed hand reached in to stop the door from shutting. In walked the traffic reporter, dressed like an adult. And I was wearing a comic book t-shirt in a cloud of my own gas. Bluh. Never assume your elevator journey will be solitary just because you got on alone.Where was I — email storm, Fox News. So some Detroit station intern sent a very late-night email to all. Everybody got it. Brit Hume, Sheppard Smith, Hannity, Colmes, the pride of Bethlehem High School, Megyn Kelly, corporate leadership, Geraldo, me and everybody else. Not only did some intern obtain an email address that pinged company-wide, the dude emailed that address. Praising the president and scooping on some vanilla jingoism. I was like, this is the dangerous email? You're from Detroit, man — at least invoke Oliver Hazard Perry.Whatever — my inbox was flooded with assenting voices — cheering it on, remixing the messaging from Detroit. I searched through the wreckage for any specialty graphic orders and then dumped the day's emails. Went to grab some coffee.I returned to another pile with more popping in. Notification chimes, “12 new emails,” it was astounding.The messages were transitioning now to “Unsubscribe.” I heard running in the hallways. A new larger wave of emails asked to be removed from the list. People were shouting in all caps. I started to imagine these voices were yelling at me — “TAKE ME THE **** OFF THIS LIST!” Senders that brandished titles like “Head of This” and “Department Lead” in their email signatures. A new wave of earlier assenters began desperately rescinding their messages by sending even more messages. One user feebly wrote [[UNSEND]].It went on a bit longer before finally petering out — great day at work. I think I even splurged on an extra slice at Gianfranco.

A dive bar in Philly just raised its age limit to 25 after college kids rolled in with fake IDs so advanced they passed scanners… including one absolute legend who used Benjamin Franklin as his photo and listed his address as the Liberty Bell. This is why we can't have nice things. On today's funny show, the Rizz and the gang relive their own fake ID disasters (yes, Sri Lankan licenses were involved), and debate whether that kid is a criminal mastermind or the future mayor of Philadelphia.Then we shift into full-blown pop culture chaos: Miley Cyrus is already an early favorite for the next Super Bowl halftime show in LA, but would Jelly Roll, Taylor Swift, or Post Malone completely break the internet? We argue. Loudly.

Joey’s 9-year-old put some arcade tokens inside the plastic part of his suitcase and asked Joey to get them out. Joey ended up having to cut a hole in the bottom to get them. The airspace around the El Paso airport was shut down abruptly yesterday. The order said it would be closed for 10 days. Just hours later, it reopened. There was miscommunication between the FAA, the city of El Paso, and the federal government. Hot Tea: James Van Der Beek, the main actor from Dawson’s Creek, lost his battle with cancer and passed away yesterday. The girlfriend of the Olympian who admitted to cheating on her on live TV has spoken out. She did not appreciate being put in the position she is now in and isn't sure if she can forgive him. A bar is raising its age restrictions from 21 to 25 due to so many people using fake IDs. The final straw was someone trying to use a fake ID with a photo of Benjamin Franklin on it. Nancy and her family are going on a cruise for spring break! She told her son that he could bring a friend with them. Now she is wondering if she needs to pay for the friend’s trip or if the kid’s parents should do it.

Lucky 7 for tickets to Dollywood Motorcycle Jim returned to turn regular country songs into love songs using his deep voice. Nancy thought she was going to die last night at dinner. She inhaled her drink and got very choked. None of her family tried to help her, and they all thought it was funny. She coughed for a long time afterwards and is okay now.

None of Your Goddamn BusinessJohn Morgan Salomon said something during our conversation that I haven't stopped thinking about. We were discussing encryption, privacy laws, the usual terrain — and he cut through all of it with five words: "It's none of your goddamn business."Not elegant. Not diplomatic. But exactly right.John has spent 30 years in information security. He's Swiss, lives in Spain, advises governments and startups, and uses his real name on social media despite spending his career thinking about privacy. When someone like that tells you he's worried, you should probably pay attention.The immediate concern is something called "Chat Control" — a proposed EU law that would mandate access to encrypted communications on your phone. It's failed twice. It's now in its third iteration. The Danish Information Commissioner is pushing it. Germany and Poland are resisting. The European Parliament is next.The justification is familiar: child abuse materials, terrorism, drug trafficking. These are the straw man arguments that appear every time someone wants to break encryption. And John walked me through the pattern: tragedy strikes, laws pass in the emotional fervor, and those laws never go away. The Patriot Act. RIPA in the UK. The Clipper Chip the FBI tried to push in the 1990s. Same playbook, different decade.Here's the rhetorical trap: "Do you support terrorism? Do you support child abuse?" There's only one acceptable answer. And once you give it, you've already conceded the frame. You're now arguing about implementation rather than principle.But the principle matters. John calls it the panopticon — the Victorian-era prison design where all cells face inward toward a central guard tower. No walls. Total visibility. The transparent citizen. If you can see what everyone is doing, you can spot evil early. That's the theory.The reality is different. Once you build the infrastructure to monitor everyone, the question becomes: who decides what "evil" looks like? Child pornographers, sure. Terrorists, obviously. But what about LGBTQ individuals in countries where their existence is criminalized? John told me about visiting Chile in 2006, where his gay neighbor could only hold his partner's hand inside a hidden bar. That was a democracy. It was also a place where being yourself was punishable by prison.The targets expand. They always do. Catholics in 1960s America. Migrants today. Anyone who thinks differently from whoever holds power at any given moment. These laws don't just catch criminals — they set precedents. And precedents outlive the people who set them.John made another point that landed hard: the privacy we've already lost probably isn't coming back. Supermarket loyalty cards. Surveillance cameras. Social media profiles. Cookie consent dialogs we click through without reading. That version of privacy is dead. But there's another kind — the kind that prevents all that ambient data from being weaponized against you as an individual. The kind that stops your encrypted messages from becoming evidence of thought crimes. That privacy still exists. For now.Technology won't save us. John was clear about that. Neither will it destroy us. Technology is just an element in a much larger equation that includes human nature, greed, apathy, and the willingness of citizens to actually engage. He sent emails to 40 Spanish members of European Parliament about Chat Control. One responded.That's the real problem. Not the law. Not the technology. The apathy.Republic comes from "res publica" — the thing of the people. Benjamin Franklin supposedly said it best: "A republic, if you can keep it." Keeping it requires attention. Requires understanding what's at stake. Requires saying, when necessary: this is none of your goddamn business.Stay curious. Stay Human. Subscribe to the podcast.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or emotionally exhausted… but couldn't point to one specific reason… this episode is for you. In this Monday Mindset episode, we're unpacking a powerful truth inspired by a Benjamin Franklin quote: “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.” While this quote is often applied to money, it speaks just as loudly to time, energy, and mental load… especially for working moms. Because most overwhelm doesn't come from one big mistake. It comes from dozens of tiny drains we barely notice. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why small, habitual “leaks” create big stress over time • How convenience, obligation, and default decisions quietly drain you • Why awareness… not guilt… is the key to sustainable change • How to stop judging yourself and start noticing patterns • A simple mindset shift that creates immediate breathing room This episode is not about doing more or fixing everything at once. It's about paying attention… without shame… and reclaiming your sense of control.

Nous sommes en 1906, à Vineland dans le New Jersey, une ville que l'on nomme, en ce début du XXe siècle, le « grenier à œufs de l'Amérique ». C'est là, dans un hôpital, que le psychologue Henry Herbert Goddard entame une enquête auprès de jeunes enfants souffrant de retard mental. S'inspirant des tests d'intelligence développés par le Français Alfred Binet, le chercheur s'intéresse particulièrement au cas d'Emma Volverton, une jeune femme de dix-sept ans qui n'a jamais connu son père et a vécu auprès de sa mère avant d'être placée en institution. La mère, domestique, est restée célibataire. En retraçant l'histoire familiale, Goddard pense découvrir l'origine du trouble mental d'Emma : la liaison extra-conjugale d'un aïeul, un siècle plus tôt, et la naissance d'un enfant illégitime. Le psychologue, dès lors, divise la famille en deux lignées, l'une matrimoniale, l'autre composée de célibataires. Les couples mariés auraient engendré une descendance dite « normale » et l'autre branche, perpétuée par la naissance d'enfants dits « illégitimes », une lignée de « simples d'esprit ». Dans le livre qu'il publie en 1912, Goddard distingue les bons d'un côté et les mauvais de l'autre pour figurer la famille qu'il renomme « Kallikak », des mots grecs kalos (bon) et kakos (mauvais). Les célibataires appartiennent donc à la branche pourrie de la nation. Dans la presse, Emma Volverton devient l'incarnation publique de la dégénérescence des lignées de célibataires, à tel point que deux ans plus tard, elle est transférée à la « State Institution for Feeble-Minded Women » (les débiles), connue pour pratiquer la stérilisation des femmes. En 1745 déjà, Benjamin Franklin, l'un des pères fondateurs des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, considérait le ou la célibataire comme « un animal inachevé ».

Jenny Blake, author of "Free Time," reveals how her father—an architect who gives ruthless editorial feedback with his "WKIYB" abbreviation (we know it's your book)—taught her to eliminate unnecessary qualifiers and strengthen her writing. Drawing from her experience creating a paid family newsletter at age 11 with 50 subscribers, Blake has always been entrepreneurial, guided by her mother's lesson: "you should always know how to support yourself." As the breadwinner in her marriage who rejects traditional domestic roles, Blake challenges societal pressures on both men and women around earning and gender expectations. She introduces the "time-to-revenue ratio"—a missing P&L metric that measures how much time it takes to generate revenue—arguing that revenue, ease, and joy aren't mutually exclusive. Blake dismantles Benjamin Franklin's "time is money" myth, explaining that business owners aren't rewarded for butt-in-seat time and that working less actually requires more sophistication through systems, automation, and delegation. Her three-part framework—align, design, assign—helps entrepreneurs optimize what's now, not just navigate what's next. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the December 1, 2025, print edition of the Wall Street Journal, there was this headline on page R25: "These 10 books changed the way Americans thought about work." Carol Hymowitz, the author, wrote: "It began with Benjamin Franklin, who couldn't stop working or writing about work throughout his 84-year long life." Carol Hymowitz has been associated with the Wall Street Journal since she got her master's degree in journalism at Columbia University. Other books she featured in this article about work include Tocqueville, Frederick Douglass, Upton Sinclair, John Steinbeck, Dale Carnegie, and C. Wright Mills, plus others.

Rochelle Porto and I dig into the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The name is confusing since the war is actually between the UK and France. The war is a formative part of our pre-Revolutionary period, shaping many of the legendary names in our history. This is where we see the rise of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and the roots of the Culper Spy Ring. The French and Indian War also sets the conditions for the protests against taxation and fixes the spirit of revolution in the hearts of the colonialists that ultimately lead us to the Declaration of Independence. This is a deep under-studied part of our history that is formative in all that follows.  #BardsFM_OurSacredHonor #FrenchAndIndianWar #TheRootsOfRevolution Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

DEFINING THE CAUSE AND THE MONARCH'S POWER Colleague Joseph Ellis. Ellis explains that colonists adopted the term "the cause" to describe their diverse opposition to British policy and eventual desire for independence, covering various interest groups under one verbal canopy. He describes George III as a powerful monarch who controlled Parliament through treasury funds, viewing American independence as a domino theory threat to the British Empire. Ellis also notes Benjamin Franklin's failed attempts to preserve a commonwealth relationship before British humiliation pushed him toward independence. NUMBER 11761
