    The Create Your Own Life Show
    Charlemagne's Empire Wasn't Destroyed by Vikings. It Was Divided by Lawyers.

    Nobody toppled Charlemagne's empire with a sword. Nobody burned it down with a torch. It was taken apart with a law.Most history counts the battles. This channel reads the contracts. You've been told Charlemagne's empire just fell apart — his sons fought, the Vikings came, the center broke. That version is true as far as it goes. It's just far too small.The real weapon was Frankish partible inheritance — a legal custom built for chieftains splitting up cattle and hillforts. In 843 it got applied to an empire that ran from the Atlantic to the Elbe. The lawyers were ready for it. The parchment was drawn up. The seals were stamped.The Treaty of Verdun gets remembered as a peace agreement. What it really was, was an estate-planning contract written at the scale of a civilization — negotiated by teams of church lawyers, notaries, financial administrators, and surveyors who spent months calculating fiscal revenues and drawing ecclesiastical circuits. They thought they were doing estate planning. They were also, without having any idea of it, doing nation building. France and Germany begin at Verdun.Nobody conquered Charlemagne's empire. They inherited it. And inheriting it broke it into pieces.════════════════════════════

    Hello!Today, we talk about Tyler's big article in the Atlantic about his experiences as a college professor and why he left. A lot of talk about the economic precarity that a lot of professors feel these days and some spirited back and forth and disagreement for those of you who complain we agree too much. (actually nobody really says this but I imagine some of you do think this) And then we talk about the rise of the Subaru Socialists and how we make sense of this powerful group in American politics.

    The Trump administration's push to execute the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history is unfolding in “a fog of fake numbers and statistical subterfuge.” That's according to The Atlantic's Nick Miroff, who covers immigration and the Department of Homeland Security. We talk to Miroff about the political pressures shaping the deportation push, the unintended consequences of blue state backlash to ICE detention facilities and how Homeland Security secretary Markwayne Mullin is responding to attacks from far-right critics who say he's not aggressive enough on immigration.

Hunter and Autumn consider why the Christian doctrine of humans in the image of God offers a richer answer than secular accounts of human dignity, and why our limitations, our work, and even our struggles may be essential to what it means to bear God's image in the world.Resources mentioned in this episode:There is Already a Word for the Deep Moral Failures of AI by Tyler Austin HarperThe Pope Doubles Down on the Beautiful Struggle by Gal Beckerman

    Remember the old hotel ice machines? The kind where you'd slide your bucket under the chute and hear the avalanche of cubes crashing into it? There was something so fun and strangely gratifying about that thing.Or think about breaking an icicle off the edge of a roof. Such a gratifying feeling from such a small act.My guest has written an ode to the outsized pleasures that arise from these kinds of everyday interactions with the physical world. His name is Ian Bogost, and his new book is The Small Stuff. Today on the show, Ian argues that a fulfilling life isn't built solely by chasing the big components of happiness but also by embracing the small moments of gratification that are woven throughout ordinary life. We discuss how those moments can be found in tactile experiences like shifting a manual transmission, turning a well-made knob, or flipping through the pages of a real menu. We explore how these small opportunities for engagement — for contact, connection, and control— have been disappearing as the world becomes more digitized and automated and everything becomes a touchscreen. And Ian shares how opportunities for "sensory enchantment" can still be found in our increasingly dematerialized world.Resources Related to the PodcastIan's previous appearance on the AoM Podcast: Episode #247 — The Pleasure of Limits, the Uses of Boredom, and the Antidote to Excessive IronyIan's Atlantic article "The End of Manual Transmission"Andy Rooney compilationConnect With Ian BogostThe Small Stuff websiteIan's websiteIan's faculty page0:00 Introduction0:40 Ian Bogost and 'The Small Stuff'2:25 What Kickstarted This Book6:38 Happiness, Satisfaction, and Gratification14:58 Gratification Is Everywhere — But Disappearing18:28 Dematerialization: How the World Is Losing Sensory Richness26:41 How Work Has Become Less Gratifying33:09 How to Reclaim Your Sensory Life38:35 Keep More Junk Around44:38 Talk About Small Pleasures48:17 Living Life Sideways (Orthogonality)50:03 Wrap-UpSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    The Jeffrey Epstein story has created shockwaves on both sides of the Atlantic. As new documents continue to emerge, and as journalists continue to report around those documents, we're increasingly seeing how the powerful and well-connected can evade scrutiny. At its core, this is a story about a system of privilege that shielded Epstein – and failed the women and girls around him. Amy Wallace and Emily Maitlis have each played a pivotal role in bringing this story to light. Wallace, an American journalist and writer, spent years working with Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre, helping her to tell her story in her posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl. Maitlis's explosive Newsnight interview with the then Prince Andrew addressed his relationship with Epstein. This was the broadcast that sparked public outrage, and triggered a crisis from which the royal family has struggled to recover. In July 2026 Maitlis and Wallace came together on the Intelligence Squared stage to discuss what this story reveals about the wealthy, powerful elites who protected Epstein for so long; and the brave and determined women who are seeking justice and are holding the powerful to account. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

The vibe at every table was incredible—full of camaraderie, excitement, and a shared love for a truly outstanding trading card game. No matter your skill level, players were patient, welcoming, and happy to walk you through plays in the side events. Now, the main event, that was all business. One more thing worth noting: the crowd spanned all ages, including families, which was great to see. Next year's event is heading to Disneyland, so if you're thinking about going, start planning now! While we were in Vegas, we also tried a new game from Fort Circle Games: Hunt for Blackbeard. It's a two‑player hidden‑movement game that really picks up speed once you understand the action flow, and the tension spikes beautifully in the final two rounds. The rules take a bit to settle in, but by the second playthrough we had it down. And if Blackbeard's history isn't familiar to you, keep reading below. Blackbeard, born Edward Teach around 1680 in Bristol, England, became one of the most feared and legendary pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy, terrorizing the Caribbean and the Atlantic coast between 1716 and 1718. Known for his dramatic appearance—most famously his long black beard and the smoldering fuses he tied into it to intimidate enemies—he commanded the formidable Queen Anne's Revenge, a 40‑gun warship crewed by hundreds of men. Blackbeard's exploits included blockading Charleston, capturing merchant vessels, and cultivating a fearsome reputation that often allowed him to win without violence. He also operated with a small fleet that included the Adventure, a sloop commanded by his lieutenant Israel Hands, as well as smaller vessels such as the Margaret and the Sea Captain. His pirating career was short-lived, ending in November 1718 when he was killed in a fierce battle at Ocracoke Island, NC by Lieutenant Robert Maynard's forces, cementing his place as one of history's most iconic pirates.

Although we're surrounded by text — like emails, text messages, and notifications — we no longer have an interest in reading longer, book-length content.

    The Jeffrey Epstein story has created shockwaves on both sides of the Atlantic. As new documents continue to emerge, and as journalists continue to report around those documents, we're increasingly seeing how the powerful and well-connected can evade scrutiny. At its core, this is a story about a system of privilege that shielded Epstein – and failed the women and girls around him. Amy Wallace and Emily Maitlis have each played a pivotal role in bringing this story to light.  Wallace, an American journalist and writer, spent years working with Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre, helping her to tell her story in her posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl. Maitlis's explosive Newsnight interview with the then Prince Andrew addressed his relationship with Epstein. This was the broadcast that sparked public outrage, and triggered a crisis from which the royal family has struggled to recover. In July 2026 Maitlis and Wallace came together on the Intelligence Squared stage to discuss what this story reveals about the wealthy, powerful elites who protected Epstein for so long; and the brave and determined women who are seeking justice and are holding the powerful to account. --- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

    La ContraHistoria
    La batalla del Atlántico

    La ContraHistoria

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 7, 2026 86:02


    La conocida como batalla del Atlántico fue la campaña más larga de toda la segunda guerra mundial. Duró 68 meses sin una sola pausa entre septiembre de 1939 y mayo de 1945. No tuvo la épica de otros frentes, pero resultó decisiva porque Gran Bretaña, una isla que en aquel entonces tenía 48 millones de habitantes, importaba por mar más de la mitad de sus alimentos y casi todas sus materias primas. Cortar ese cordón umbilical equivalía a estrangular la resistencia británica sin necesidad de invadir la isla. Churchill lo comprendió y bautizó en 1941 lo que estaba sucediendo en el océano con el nombre de batalla del Atlántico, que es como ha pasado a la historia. El arma de los alemanes fue el submarino. El almirante Karl Dönitz estaba convencido de que con 300 U-Boote podía asfixiar al Reino Unido, pero al empezar la guerra solo disponía de 57, de los cuales apenas 25 servían para el océano abierto. Sus superiores, encabezados por Erich Raeder, seguían soñando con grandes buques de superficie, pero la Kriegsmarine no estaba aún preparada al comenzar la guerra para medirse con la Royal Navy. Aun así, en los primeros meses el arma submarina cosechó varios éxitos muy celebrados en Alemania como el ataque de Günther Prien contra el Royal Oak en la base de Scapa Flow. La rendición de Francia en junio de 1940 lo cambió todo. Los puertos de Bretaña y del golfo de Vizcaya acortaron la ruta hacia las zonas de caza y dieron lugar a lo que los marinos alemanes denominaron los tiempos felices. Fue entonces cuando capitanes de submarinos como Otto Kretschmer hundieron miles de toneladas aplicando la táctica de las manadas de lobos. Frente a ellos, los británicos reactivaron el sistema de convoyes y confiaron en el sonar, que se demostró inútil contra submarinos que atacaban de noche y desde la superficie. La estrategia de Dönitz se basaba en la llamada guerra del tonelaje, es decir de hundir barcos aliados más deprisa de lo que los astilleros podían reponerlos. La entrada de Estados Unidos en la guerra, lejos de acabar con el problema, inauguró otra etapa dorada para los submarinos alemanes, que hundían barcos frente a la costa este sin apenas oposición. Pero no duró mucho, los alemanes no contaban con la desmesurada capacidad industrial estadounidense. Entre marzo y mayo de 1943 los aliados consiguieron cambiar el rumbo de la batalla gracias al descifrado de la máquina Enigma, el desarrollo del radar centimétrico, el Huff-Duff, los grupos de apoyo con portaaviones de escolta y los aviones Liberator de muy largo alcance que cerraron el agujero negro del centro del océano. A todo eso se sumó la producción en masa de los mercantes de la clase Liberty. La fase final entre 1943 y 1945 fue la de un irreversible declive. Los nuevos submarinos del Tipo XXI llegaron demasiado tarde y tras el desembarco de Normandía perdieron sus bases en Francia. La batalla costó la vida a 30.000 marinos que tripulaban los más de 30.000 mercantes hundidos. En el lado alemán se perdió la mayor parte de la flota de submarinos, que se convirtieron en ataúdes de hierro para sus tripulaciones. En torno al 75% de los submarinistas alemanes perdieron la vida. Los historiadores han debatido mucho sobre si el Reino Unido estuvo realmente al borde del colapso, pero una cosa no anula la otra. Fue una batalla fundamental que los aliados no podían permitirse perder y que se ganó tanto en las cubiertas barridas por los temporales como en los astilleros de Baltimore y en las salas de Bletchley Park.

    Tariffs bought this industry a window. Ramiro Gutierrez, President of North America, ZF Group, is not convinced we are using it.He has spent 30 years in the automotive industry, and he left it once. Aerospace turned out to be slower than he expected, with cycles running roughly five times longer, and he returned to ZF for engineering. What he came back to is a company spending around 8% of revenue on R&D and now under real pressure to prove that money produces a return.That pressure is where this conversation starts, and it goes somewhere most tier one interviews do not. Ramiro walks through what his Chinese customers are doing with hardware ZF has already put on the vehicle. A customer looked at ZF's active suspension and figured out that lifting a wheel lets you change a flat tire without a jack. At CES, ZF showed a tire-noise function built from a damper and a chassis sensor, both already on the car. Same hardware, new functionality, software doing the work.Meanwhile, the Western specification book has been growing for a hundred years, page after page, all for good reasons, until it moved past anything a customer can feel. The cost is real, and the value is not.Ramiro is direct about tariffs. He calls them a tool in the sandbox, useful for buying time. He is just as direct about what happens if the industry spends that time defending the status quo instead of closing the gap.Then there is the leadership half of it. He is president of ZF North America and head of the global steering business unit, sitting between a German foundation owner under enormous pressure and a workforce spread across the US, Mexico, and Canada. His answer to that complexity is not a new org chart. It is communication treated as an investment, people sent to see other realities with their own eyes, consensus built and then closed, and accountability that sounds like “where are we” rather than “why didn't you.”The clock is running. Ramiro believes the future is bright.

    Leaving the Life-Saving Station - #10323

    A Word With You

    There's a stretch of the Outer Banks of North Carolina that's known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" because hundreds of ships have been lost there over the centuries. So it was there that something called the United States Life-Saving Service was born. They established these white frame buildings called life-saving stations like seven miles apart along the very treacherous parts of the coast. The Life-Saving Service was actually a spawning ground for heroes. In one case, for example, this ship was in distress with four men staying alive by just hanging onto this mast for dear life. Six of the seven men from the closest station went out into a storm that could very well consume them. Before they went out they left a verbal will with the man who was left running the station. Twenty-two hours without food or sleep. Well, they finally brought back those four stranded men, and then they collapsed on the beach in exhaustion. It was incredible heroism. I mean, that was the norm for the men of the life-saving stations. One interesting observation: never in the history of the Life-Saving Service did the drowning person ever come to the door of their station and ask to be rescued, "Excuse me, I'm drowning. Can you help me?" No, in every single rescue, the rescuers had to leave the safety of the life-saving station, go out into the surf and into the storm to keep someone from dying. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Leaving the Life-Saving Station." It's the nature of rescue isn't it? You have to leave the comfort of the life-saving station to save the people who are dying outside. The life-saving station is a great place to get rescuers strong enough to go out into the storm to bring people in. And it's a great place to bring people after they've been rescued. But if we wait for dying people to come into the life-saving station to get rescued, most of them are going to die without a chance. That's the nature of spiritual rescue. Over the years it's been known by many names - evangelism, soul-winning, witnessing. But maybe we've lost the urgency of what really is at stake here. Every lost person you know who has never begun a personal relationship with Christ, every lost person within the reach of your church is, in the words of the Bible, "perishing... staggering toward slaughter" (Proverbs 24:11), "without hope and without God" (Ephesians 2:12), and ultimately, someone who will be forever, in the Bible's words, "shut out from the presence of the Lord" (2 Thessalonians 1:9). They are spiritually dying people, and their only hope is rescue by someone who is close enough to save them. Sadly, we've been waiting for them to come to one of our meetings, our programs, our religious place, our life-saving station. But Jesus said in Luke 19:10, our word for today from the Word of God, that "the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." He said that in the house of a reviled tax collector, where Jesus had been criticized for going. But Jesus shows us that you have to go where the lost people are to rescue them. You have to seek them if you want to save them. We keep having programs to rescue the dying - often few of them are ever there. The plan of God is for someone like you or me - an everyday follower of Jesus - to be the one to rescue the dying people around you. If we have to go where the lost people are to rescue them, well guess what? You already are where some of them are; you are every day. Don't just let them go on dying. Leave the safe spot, the comfortable spot where you've wanted to stay and take some risks to rescue them. You follow the Man who left the comfort zone of heaven to risk it all, to give it all to rescue you. Now He's asking you to join Him in rescuing some others who will die forever without Him. There is nothing greater you could do with your influence, nothing greater you could do with your life than to rescue someone who would have otherwise died; to help someone else be rescued from hell and be in heaven with you forever.

    What if the easiest way to overcome opposition to new housing was simply to pay people to accept it? A recent article in The Atlantic argues that after state laws, packed public meetings, and economic appeals have failed to overcome local resistance, cash payments might succeed where persuasion has not. Chuck Marohn is joined by John Reuter, executive director of Strong Towns, and Dr. Chloe Groome, treasurer of Strong Towns Chicago, to test that idea against what they've seen in real neighborhoods. Their discussion turns to what happens when new neighbors are framed as a burden, and whether cash can do the work that persuasion, trust, and local relationships have failed to do.
