Podcasts about biases

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Skora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about the instinctual biases and break down how preservers, transmitters, and navigators coach differently due to their natural strengths, blind spots. They lay out their framework to use the Enneagram for awareness, identify the internal narratives keeping clients stuck before they move into action.Connect with us:Awareness to ActionATA on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodYouTube: ATA Podcast NetworkEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MoviePod: Thinking Well & WhySubstack: mariosikora.substack.comBook: How to Think Well, and Why: The Awareness to Action Guide to Clear ThinkingMaría José Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional OptimismPod: International Enneagram Association PodcastPod: Thinking Well & Why

The College Football Playoff faces a crisis of confidence as inconsistency and a lack of transparency cloud the selection process. Can public disclosure of committee votes and clear criteria restore fans' trust? Brian spotlights Hunter Yurachek's role as chair, the committee's ongoing bias concerns, and why early, transparent communication is crucial as the season ramps up. Recruiting's high-stakes evolution takes center stage, with powerhouse programs like USC, Texas, and Georgia targeting prospects as young as 14. NIL deals, family vetting, and early offers reshape the landscape—are schools moving too fast? The conversation expands to playoff proposals like the 20+4 format, debate over home-field advantage, and the AP poll's surprising snubs, fueling speculation about Texas, Miami, Indiana, and Clemson's playoff hopes. Will this season mark a turning point for college football's most controversial committee? Support us by supporting our sponsors!

George Khalaf, Republican candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives from Legislative District 3 starts the show off with Seth on the many ‘misses’ in recent political polling. He explains why the disparity between polls and election results is often due to inaccuracies in predicting voter turnout. He also discusses the media's role in shaping public opinion and how their bias can lead to a distorted view of reality. George highlights several examples of media outlets presenting misleading information, including and incident where Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) recently called out an article in The Arizona Republic which made Democrat candidate for congress in Arizona’s 6th congressional district JoAnna Mendoza look more favorable after it was discovered she unlawfully took tax credits on multiple primary residences. George also touches on the topic of "woke-ism," discussing how it has evolved from a movement to a full-blown ideology that is now being pushed by many Democrats. He shares his concerns about the impact of "woke-ism" on our society, including the rise of mental health issues among young people and the erosion of traditional values.

Chapter 1: How Do Grazing Cultural Biases Hold You Back from Success? By Allan Nation For decades, Allan Nation's "Al's Obs" challenged graziers to question conventional wisdom and think differently about agriculture. In this opening chapter from Al's Obs: 20 Questions & Their Answers, Allan argues that many of the decisions producers make aren't truly economic—they're cultural. The most successful graziers learn to recognize these biases, question them, and build businesses around economic reality instead of tradition. From the value of quality pasture and grass silage to grass-finished beef, agroforestry, regional specialization, and niche marketing, Allan explores ten opportunities that reward independent thinking. While originally written years ago, these ideas remain remarkably relevant for today's regenerative farmers and ranchers seeking greater profitability and resilience.

Prospects don't enter sales conversations with a blank slate. They bring years of experiences, assumptions, loyalties, and fears that shape how they evaluate every option in front of them. Those biases influence the prospects willingness to change and how they filter your ability to help them change.  In Part Two of their conversation, I and Pam explore why trying to convince someone they're wrong often strengthens the very beliefs you're trying to change. We discuss how, instead, great sales professionals create the kind of conversation that helps prospects examine those beliefs for themselves. If you've ever walked away from a meeting knowing your solution was the better choice—but still lost the opportunity—this episode will help you understand what kind of questions you'll need to ask to help your prospect minimize the impact of negative biases.

pWotD Episode 3369: ChatGPT Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 196,704 views on Thursday, 23 July 2026 our article of the day is ChatGPT.ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI. Originally released on November 30, 2022, the product uses large language models—specifically generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs)—to generate text, speech, and images in response to user prompts. ChatGPT accelerated the AI boom, an ongoing period marked by rapid investment and public attention toward the field of artificial intelligence (AI). OpenAI operates the service on a freemium model. Users can interact with ChatGPT through text, audio, and image prompts.ChatGPT was quickly adopted, reaching 100 million monthly active users two months after its release and 900 million weekly active users in February 2026. Proponents say that it has the potential to transform numerous professional fields, and it has instigated public debate about the nature of creativity and the future of knowledge work.The chatbot has also been criticized for its limitations and potential for unethical use. It can generate plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers, known as hallucinations. Biases in its training data have been reflected in its responses. The chatbot can facilitate academic dishonesty, generate misinformation, and create malicious code. The ethics of its development, particularly the use of copyrighted content as training data, have also drawn controversy.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:57 UTC on Friday, 24 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see ChatGPT on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Aaron Neyer, founder of Parachute and community organizer in Boulder, about knowledge management, extended minds, and the intersection of AI with human consciousness. They explore how Parachute functions as a digital brain tool for organizing thoughts and information across fragmented systems, discuss the dangers of AI psychosis and over-reliance on technology, and debate open source AI development versus controlled releases by companies like Anthropic. The conversation weaves through topics including the limitations of metrics-driven business thinking, consciousness and relevance realization, the value of technological sabbaths, and Aaron's hope for locally-run open source models that protect personal data while still accessing more powerful gated models when needed. You can find Aaron's writing at unforced.org and unforced.substack.com, and learn more about Parachute at parachute.computer and parachute.computer/blog.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Aaron Neyer, founder of Parachute and Boulder community organizer, discussing the origin of Parachute's name from Frank Zappa's quote about open minds.05:00 Aaron explains Parachute as an extended mind tool for organizing notes, contacts and information across multiple platforms, emphasizing the distinction between primary mind and extended mind as interconnected systems.10:00 Discussion shifts to metrics-driven business culture and the limitations of pure rationality, exploring how Google's data-driven approach misses subjective experience and the whole picture of relationships.15:00 Aaron discusses AI's ability to help identify relevant variables across different domains and the dangers of AI psychosis, comparing it to cult dynamics and belief systems.20:00 The conversation covers AI sabbaths and nineties retreats as intentional breaks from technology, plus Aaron's experiences with electrical engineering and using AI to design circuits with Arduinos.25:00 Exploring forbidden knowledge and open source AI, Aaron discusses Anthropic's guardrails around powerful models while arguing for distributed access to prevent concentration of power.30:00 Deep dive into open source AI strategy, with Aaron highlighting NVIDIA's approach and the potential for running capable models locally while reserving ultra-intelligent models for complex research tasks.35:00 Aaron shares his vision for local Sonnet-class models handling personal data while accessing Fable-class models for deep research, and directs listeners to unforced.org and parachute.computer for his writing.Key Insights1. The philosophy behind Parachute stems from Frank Zappa's quote that the mind is like a parachute and doesn't work if it isn't open. Aaron Neyer explains that having an open mind is valuable, but it must be balanced with deep roots to avoid becoming untethered. He has experienced periods in his life where excessive openness led him to feel disconnected, teaching him that creativity and expansion need to be grounded in something substantial. This same principle applies to how we organize information digitally, where openness and interoperability allow our extended minds to become more connected and coherent, which in turn helps our primary minds think more clearly.2. Parachute is designed as an extended mind tool that addresses the fragmentation problem in how we currently manage information. Most people use multiple disconnected tools like Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes, Google Keep, and various CRMs to organize their thoughts, notes, and relationships. These systems don't communicate well with each other, creating inefficiency and confusion. Parachute aims to create a simple, intuitive system where all this information can be organized in one place with true interoperability, allowing users to own their data and have it speak effectively with other tools, ultimately making our entire extended mind more functional.3. Understanding ourselves as unified body mind organisms rather than fragmented parts is essential for effectiveness. Living systems theory shows that any living system is three things: a membrane bound dissipative structure, a self regulating autopoietic network, and a cognitive process actively knowing the world. Western civilization since Descartes and Galileo has created artificial separation between body and mind, and between subjective and objective experience, which limits our effectiveness. The same fragmentation affects our digital technology, and recognizing both our biological and digital systems as coherent wholes rather than disconnected parts makes us vastly more capable.4. The relationship between data driven approaches and holistic thinking reveals important limitations in modern business and science. While working at Google, Aaron observed how data driven decision making can be powerful, but over reliance on metrics like ROI creates blindness to crucial unmeasurable factors like goodwill and relationship quality. This reflects a broader Western tendency to exclude subjective experience because it's difficult for objective science to measure. However, emotions, relationships, and other subjective elements are essential parts of reality, and focusing only on quantifiable metrics means missing the whole picture and ultimately becoming less effective despite appearing more rational.5. AI accelerates the ability to work with technical complexity by helping with relevance realization across domains where we lack expertise. In any specialized field, experts develop intuitive senses for which variables matter and can quickly identify problems, whether in computer troubleshooting, music, or cooking. AI's ability to generalize allows it to point people toward relevant solutions in areas where they haven't developed that intuitive expertise, effectively democratizing technical capability. This means people can direct their creativity more effectively across more domains, though it also raises concerns about giving powerful capabilities to those who may lack the wisdom to use them responsibly.6. The question of open source AI versus gated access involves complex tradeoffs between democratizing power and preventing harm. Aaron respects Anthropic's approach of creating guardrails around powerful models like Mythos, which would likely have caused significant system hacks if released without restrictions. However, this creates concerning power dynamics where only wealthy companies, governments, and their allies have access to the most powerful tools. NVIDIA offers hope through their truly open source approach including full training pipelines, and there may be a viable path where open source models at the Sonnet capability level handle most tasks locally while more powerful Fable class models remain gated for the most demanding work.7. Creating intentional breaks from AI and technology is essential for maintaining clear independent thinking. Aaron practices an AI Sabbath at least one day per week when he doesn't interact with AI, and he finds these are the days when he does his best thinking and journaling. Without these breaks, he finds himself constantly jumping between journaling and prompting AI rather than giving himself space for deep reflection. This pattern mirrors broader concerns about AI consistency creating cult like dynamics similar to organized religion, where constant immersion in a belief system or technology can lead to losing the ability to think independently, making periodic disconnection crucial for maintaining cognitive autonomy and clarity.

Unfortunately, those stories often come from our fears, past experiences, attachment wounds, and cognitive biases instead of reality.You'll learn why your brain is wired to make assumptions, how cognitive distortions and confirmation bias can quietly sabotage your relationships, and why most couples aren't arguing about what happened but what they believe it meant.Sarah breaks down the psychology behind these patterns in a relatable way and shares practical tools you can start using today to separate facts from assumptions, communicate with curiosity instead of certainty, and build stronger, healthier relationships.If you've ever found yourself thinking, “I know exactly why they did that,” this episode might completely change the way you communicate with the people you love.Get your personalized roadmap to a slower, more pleasurable sex life at https://beduc.at/pd2629-tceFor up to 65% off your order, head to https://veracityhealth.co and use code TCEDISCLAIMER: This podcast offers information for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

On the seventh anniversary episode of Events Demystified Podcast, Anca Platon Trifan explains how AI bias and stereotyping are amplified through generative and predictive systems, starting with her experience using NotebookLM to generate an image from her memoir: it repeatedly depicted AV expertise as male, then portrayed a woman as overly aggressive. She argues AI bias didn't start with AI but with historical data shaped by discrimination, exclusion, and stereotypes, and shows how models can reproduce institutional patterns through proxies even when protected traits are removed. Examples include Amazon's abandoned recruiting tool, unequal human evaluation of identical AI-assisted resumes, healthcare liver-disease models missing more cases in women, Gender Shades misclassification rates, speech recognition disparities, and COMPAS fairness disputes. She emphasizes accountability for leaders adopting AI, meaningful “human in the loop,” transparency, appeals, monitoring, and examining default assumptions in AI outputs.The five-Friday July mini-series on AI will cover:

We asked 28 marketers what single change in their ad account made the biggest difference — and nobody put creative at the top. What came back instead was account structure, cost caps, better data, and one answer that stopped us cold: doing nothing at all. This episode breaks down the nine cognitive biases quietly running the average media buyer's decisions, from action bias to the expert's curse. We get into why excluding past purchasers dropped one brand's new customer CPA by 40% overnight, why "data-driven" has become a red flag on a resume, and why the last 20% of Meta optimization is worth less than the first 20% of your landing page. If you manage ad accounts, hire people who do, or spend your Sundays reorganizing campaigns you shouldn't be touching, this one's for you. ⚡ IN THIS EPISODE → Why excluding past purchasers dropped NCPA by 40% instantly → The two years an account crushed because nobody touched it → Why 85% optimized and understandable beats 100% optimized and muddy → "Data aware, human obsessed" — the hiring filter that should replace "data-driven" → Why measuring by product collection, not by ad, makes diagnosis ten times faster → The case for ignoring your weaknesses entirely and doubling down on strengths ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The no-phone morning walk that fixed our brains 01:20 The Twitter question that broke everyone's assumptions 02:30 A 40% drop in new customer CPA from one mechanical exclusion 03:45 What 28 marketers actually said — and why creative never made the list 05:50 Action bias: why you can't stop touching the account 06:45 "I haven't touched it in three weeks.

Reflect on how it felt and how it changes your energy when you read it. TRANSCRIPT ANNA: Hello and welcome to the Living Joyfully Podcast. We're happy you're here exploring relationships with us, who we are in them, out of them, and what that means for how we move through the world. If you're new to the podcast, we encourage you to go back and listen to the earlier episodes. We started with some foundational relationship ideas and really have enjoyed how they're kind of playing off each other and building on one another. And if you've already been enjoying the podcast, we'd love it if you could leave a rating and review. That definitely helps new people find us. In today's episode, we're gonna talk about a few common cognitive biases that trip us up as we navigate our relationships. Cognitive biases are basically mental shortcuts that our brains will take as they try to quickly process the vast amounts of information in our very complex world. So, let's start with commitment bias and the sunk cost fallacy. The sunk cost fallacy is associated with the commitment bias, where we continue to support our past decisions despite new evidence suggesting that it isn't really the best course of action. We fail to take into account that whatever time, effort, or money that we've already expended will not be recovered. And this could be something as simple as finishing a meal or a movie one of you isn't enjoying, because you've already paid for it, or something bigger, like finishing a college program even though, at this point, you're pretty sure you don't want to work in that field at all, but you stay because you've committed to it. This can cause friction in our relationships when we have different ideas about money, commitment, and what those things mean. Very often, the idea to stick it out at all costs was pretty much ingrained in us as children. Somehow we're a failure if we quit or we would be wasting the money, so we have to stick with it to make these expenditures worthwhile. It's really worth examining those beliefs if you see them coming into play in your relationships. Understanding sunk costs helps us see that the money is spent, period. The choice then becomes whether I want to take what I've learned about myself and move on to something else I can enjoy or stay with something that I don't. Take the money out of the equation because it's already gone, but what can I get out of that situation? What I get out of is up to me. Just learning that we don't like something has value. Letting go of judging ourselves or our partners as failing when we decide to quit something goes a long way to learning more about each other. And providing unconditional support as we figure out what we want to do with our time. The conversation is so much more valuable when we're looking at the nuances of the situation. And this also comes into play big time with children, doesn't it? PAM: Oh, it definitely does. We think we're teaching our children something positive by insisting they stick it out and follow through on their commitments when we sign them up for a rec class or they join a team. But the message they're often absorbing is, don't try new things unless you're really sure you're going to like it, or you might get stuck having to do something you really dislike. It can be so helpful to frame these kinds of choices, not as commitments, but as opportunities to try something new. You're paying for the opportunity for them to try it out and discover if it's as interesting as they imagine. Insisting someone not quit doing something they're not enjoying or just judging them negatively when they do is disconnecting and damaging to the relationship. And to what end? Because they definitely learn something more about themselves through discovering they don't like the thing and they can use that knowledge along with the time they freed up to pursue something else more in alignment with their interests. So, when you think about it in the bigger picture, they'll find the things that they love more quickly this way. And it's in finding the things they really enjoy where you'll see commitment in action. Even when things get frustrating or inconvenient, they'll show up. So, it's not about teaching commitment, it's about finding the things they are excited to commit to. And that definitely applies to us as well. Sometimes it's easier to think about it in the context of another person, but then to make that shift to realize this applies to us. We don't need to pressure ourselves to follow through on commitments if our enthusiasm has waned and we are ready to move on. Instead, let's celebrate that. Yay! Look what we know. We know more about what we like and what we don't like, or even more about the environments in which we're comfortable. That's another big piece of it too, right? ANNA: Yes. I love celebrating when we're learning more about who we are and how we want to move through the world. And I love the idea of paying for the opportunity. It's such a helpful framework. We're always learning and I want to support my kids, my partner, and myself in trying things that seemed interesting to us. I didn't need to have an attachment to the outcome, because no matter what, there will be learning, even if it's just, I really don't like this particular activity. And so, it goes back to conversations too though, because we can talk about the money involved in trying something and we can see if there's ways to trial it first, and what would be some of our other options. But I didn't want to get stuck only looking at decisions through the lens of how much it costs. It's one part, but it's not the only, and I usually found it wasn't the most important part. And it was actually my finance major husband who first told me about sunk costs when one of our children wanted to quit a class they were taking and it made honoring where they were and what they were learning so much easier, because I could let go of any guilt or baggage around the money part. Because the money's already spent, and again, this was work I needed to do for myself, as well. Giving myself permission to try something, even if I wasn't perfect at it, even if I decided at any point along the way that it wasn't working for me. PAM: Yeah, it's interesting how it's often easier to give grace to other people than it is to give it to ourselves, but we're people too. And I wanted just to bring back that point, when we talk about sunk costs, it's not about ignoring the money. It is once it's spent, but it doesn't mean we don't have that conversation up front. Maybe this is gonna be a big chunk of our budget and we want to look at all sorts of possibilities. If there is a way to get some experience with it before spending the larger chunk, that can be a valid way, too. Again, back to the conversations. ANNA: That's the richness of the conversations and staying connected and the baby steps from last week. It all wraps together. PAM: Okay, so now let's talk about the confirmation bias, which is the tendency to process information by looking for or interpreting information that is consistent with one's existing beliefs. This biased approach to decision making is largely unintentional and often results in ignoring what feels like inconsistent information. “That doesn't make sense. I'm going to toss that.” It's hard to be open and curious when we're filtering information through our existing beliefs. This can sow disconnection in our relationship in a few ways, like discounting the other person's ideas or always bringing the same old ideas to our conversations. We are less creative. And in conversations, we tend to listen to the other person with an eye to picking out the bits that match how we see this situation, which we talked about a couple of weeks ago as well. And we're just waiting until we can jump in with those pieces, rather than hearing the full picture of what they're sharing. When our confirmation bias is in full swing, we are not seeing that bigger picture, are we? ANNA: Not at all. And it really reminds me of our talk about seeing through their eyes from episode four. If we're only seeing through our eyes, we already know what we're looking for and it colors everything. I think this comes into play when we're upset with our partner or children, as well. We tend to see things that confirm our ideas about them. With our partner, it could be reading into every little behavior and thinking, see, they don't care about my feelings. Hello, writing stories! And with kids it can be seeing dysregulation and blaming a video game, because we're thinking that video games are bad, when the dysregulation could just be a need for connection, some food, or some rest, something carried over from school that morning. With our partners and children, we don't want to be writing stories about the meaning of things. If we have an idea that's causing distress, they don't love me, they don't trust me, they don't like this or that, ask them. Open the conversation and enter it with that open and curious mindset we talked about earlier in the month. Upsets can rarely survive the light of inquiry, openness, and understanding. PAM: Yes. The stories we tell ourselves, right? So, for me, the clue is noticing when I'm telling myself a story about someone else. That's when I need to step carefully, because I am not them. I don't know all their personal history or the extenuating circumstances they're seeing right now. I don't know they were tired or feeling frustrated by something completely unrelated. I don't know until I ask. Because when I'm telling myself a story, it is pretty natural for it to be all about me. And definitely that works pretty well when I am talking about myself, how I'm feeling, how I'm seeing these things. But it can take me down all sorts of unhelpful paths when I'm making assumptions about how others are seeing me. As you say, it is so much better to have the conversation with them and just check in and see what's going on. ANNA: Yes, just get out of our head and get into that moment with our partners and loved ones. Okay, so the last one we want to touch on today is the negativity bias. So, the negativity bias is the tendency to remember negative events more starkly and more frequently than positive events. So, this isn't inherently problematic since it's a great way to learn from mistakes and avoid negative experiences in the future. You can see it's actually a survival skill. We quickly learn what can hurt us and what's dangerous, and we actively avoid those things. Our brain is wired to give us those things at a higher priority in order to keep us safe. We haven't really evolved out of that primal need to evaluate safety in our environment. But here's the thing. Most of us don't have tigers lurking around the corner, so bringing that intense survival energy to things like our relationships can cause a lot of heartache. We don't want to constantly be thinking about every negative thing that has happened. It keeps us stuck in the past and doesn't give our loved ones a chance to grow and change. PAM: Everybody just sit with that for just a little bit. It is so true that negative experiences stay with us longer and are recalled more quickly in a challenging moment. And, as you say, there's reasons for that. And not only does it play out on that personal level. We see it on a societal level, as well. Society in general is focused on the negative things that are happening. So often, those are the stories that are widely in the news and on social media. We find ourselves surrounded by negative stories, which fills us with more negative events to recall at a moment's notice, round and round. It can become a lens through which we see the world. Our negativity bias seeping into our confirmation bias. ANNA: Yep. And bringing awareness to these biases helps us understand that we need to be very intentional about changing our focus. Things like joy writing and gratitude practices can help bring our focus to all the things we love, all the things that are actually working. So, when I'm working with couples, I ask them to do a joy writing exercise. Basically, you each write down a list of things you love about the other, what you love about the relationship, beautiful moments, lovely gestures, things that can fill you with love when you're thinking about them. Keep it handy, have it on your phone or somewhere you can read it daily. Rereading it changes our energy and it changes how we interact with our partner, how we see our relationship. It keeps the focus on all the wonderful things there and it fosters that connection. And from a place of connection, we can move through the bumps of life with more ease. PAM: That is so, so true. Just the act of remembering the good side, alongside the challenges. It doesn't mean ignoring the challenges. It's not, let's just pack those in a box and forget about them. But remembering that so much of our lives are all these good things, too. So, as you mentioned, gratitude practices can also foster that loving energy towards our partner and our kids. We can make a point of writing down a few things that we're grateful for related to our partner and kids each day. It need only take a couple of minutes and we can share it with them too. This practice helps us notice the positive bits in our day and in our relationships, because they are there. And it's a great way to counteract that negativity bias. ANNA: Yes. And incorporating these practices and just keeping an eye towards what's working, what feels good, will help train your brain in a way that's more useful in our current environment. You'll still have the skills of recognizing danger, but will be less likely to label something that's just a bump in the day, or the relationship as something serious that feels very threatening. PAM: That's such a big difference there. Put it in the context, in the context of your whole day, not having this one moment that felt uncomfortable or challenging and having that override or color, the whole rest of your day, discount all the other bits that happened that were connecting, that were fun. They have so much value, too. ANNA: And I think just understanding that our brains tend to do that helps us just put that little check in place. Like, okay, wait a minute. Am I forgetting about all the good things and only focusing, because that's what brains like to do? And so, then we're able to take those additional steps and do those practices. So, here are some questions that you might want to ponder as you explore how these cognitive biases might be playing out in your relationships. So, first, examine your thoughts around quitting, sunk costs, and commitments. Are those thoughts that are serving you? Do you and your partner see them the same way? It could be some really fun discussions to have there. Describe a time when confirmation bias stopped you from seeing someone else's point of view. And this, you may even have to watch for, because it's so natural that we don't even notice, but just start seeing it as you're having conversations. Are we looking for what we want to see? PAM: Yeah. And that's where that open and curious piece comes in. That's just that little reminder, for me anyway, just to not get stuck in there. There's other possibilities. ANNA: Yeah. Love it. Okay. And do the joy writing exercise for your partner and other loved ones. Reflect on how it felt and how it changes your energy when you read it. I cannot tell you just how powerful this has been for so many people that have tried it and just really have enjoyed it. PAM: Yeah, I think that that it really does help just change our energy. Reminding us, oh yeah, these are all true. It's not like we're making up anything or trying to fool ourselves. Literally these are the things that we love about our partner, our children, the fun things that we're doing, the fun pieces of the day. And the one thing I want to mention about these questions is I love that we're going through and asking them now. And I really encourage people to take some time to sit with them, because it really is much more helpful I think to be thinking about these things outside of a particular challenge. But don't wait until all of a sudden y'all are arguing about, oh my gosh, our child wants to quit this activity, to have a conversation about sunk costs. Like you were saying, that could be a very fun conversation. When it's heated about a particular thing that's happening right now that feels urgent and feels like it needs a quick decision, that can be a hard time to have that kind of conversation. But if we can start playing with these ideas and asking ourselves these kinds of questions and playing through them without the pressure or urgency of something happening right in this moment, that can be so very helpful. ANNA: Right, because you're steeping in these new ideas and then they're there for us. When these challenges come up, we can recall back like, hey, I want to put it through this lens. I want to blow back a little bit and look at open and curious and see what else is at play here. I want to know that I have plenty of time. All these things that we're talking about can just be things that you keep in your back pocket as you go through and you'll start seeing how they're just helpful tools that help you navigate these things, so we don't have the spirals or the big blowups about it. So, I hope it's helping. It's been a lot of fun to talk about, anyway. So, thank you so much for listening and we hope to see you next time. Take care. PAM: Yes. Bye, everybody.

Wie verändert eine Welt der Dauerkrisen die Art, wie Vorstände und Aufsichtsräte Risiken steuern – und was muss ein Aufsichtsrat konkret leisten, damit Risikomanagement mehr ist als eine Pflichtübung? In dieser Folge des The Agenda Podcasts von Sherpany erläutert Ute Wolf – Aufsichtsrätin bei Infineon Technologies sowie Aufsichtsrätin und Prüfungsausschussvorsitzende bei MTU Aero Engines –, wie Gremien Risiken in Zeiten geopolitischer, ökonomischer und technologischer Unsicherheit wirksam steuern. Aus fast zwei Jahrzehnten Verantwortung für das Risikomanagement – zunächst als CFO von Evonik, heute in mehreren Aufsichtsräten – zeigt Ute Wolf, warum Risikomanagement ein integraler Bestandteil unternehmerischen Handelns ist, wie das Denken in Szenarien die Steuerung im Boardroom prägt und wo die Grenze zwischen Mut und Vorsicht verläuft, ohne dabei Chancen zu verpassen. The Agenda wird von Ingo Notthoff moderiert – Podcast-Produzent und -Moderator mit langjähriger Erfahrung in Führungs- und Managementrollen auf Konzern-, Mittelstands- und Verbandsebene. Sie sind an tiefgehenden strategischen Themen für Vorstände, Aufsichts- und Verwaltungsräte interessiert? Abonnieren Sie den The Agenda Podcast von Sherpany, dem führenden Anbieter von Lösungen für das Meeting-Management. In diese Folge erfahren Sie: Warum Risikomanagement keine Reporting- oder Hygieneübung ist, sondern ein notwendiger Bestandteil der Unternehmenssteuerung. Wie das Denken in Szenarien und Sensitivitäten – gerade in der Budget- und Mittelfristplanung – Gremien auf unerwartete Entwicklungen vorbereitet. Warum die Learnings aus überstandenen Krisen bewahrt werden müssen und die Arbeitsintensität in der nächsten Krise spürbar senken. Wo die Grenze zwischen einer gelebten Risikokultur und einem mechanistischen „Tick-the-Box“-Modus verläuft. Welche Risiken im Boardroom systematisch unterschätzt werden – von schwer erfassbaren externen Faktoren bis zu hausgemachten Biases. Wie ein Aufsichtsrat über Prüfungsausschuss, Frühwarnindikatoren und Compliance Risiken wirksam überwacht. Warum eine faktenbasierte statt Erfolgs-Story-orientierte Diskussion offenlegt, ob ein Vorstand seine Risiken wirklich im Griff hat. Chapters: (02:59) Wie sich Risikomanagement in den letzten Jahren verändert hat (05:56) Risikomanagement in Zeiten der Polykrise (08:56) Arbeitsaufwand und mentale Belastung im Gremium (10:44) Gelebte Risikokultur versus Pflichtübung (12:33) Der Umgang mit ungewissen Risiken im Boardroom (15:24) Systematisch unterschätzte Risiken: die Klassiker (21:06) Wie Aufsichtsratsarbeit Risiken wirksam überwacht (25:51) Der Einsatz von KI in der Aufsichtsratsarbeit Thank you for listening!

At the World Congress of Anaesthesiologists (WCA) in Marrakech, Morocco, TopMedTalk co-editors In chief, Kate Leslie and Mike Grocott speak with Sydney anaesthesiologist Alwin Chuan, a member of the joint ESRA-ASRA working group on AI, about strengths and limitations of AI for regional anaesthesia and medicine. Chuan explains how generative AI is trained on vast datasets using transformer architectures, why outputs are probabilistic, and how context affects meaning. They discuss privacy and the possibility of personal or creative work being used as a commodity in training, internet "scraping," and the inevitability of hallucinations, including false facts and fabricated citations. The conversation covers bias in training corpora, the need for human curation and reinforcement learning, and mitigation via prompt engineering such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), citation/page verification, and confidence estimates. Chuan predicts future advances and the fusion of imaging AI with generative AI for ultrasound guidance, previewing a follow-up episode. -- Join us at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress 2026 in London.

"We are going to switch from the problem in AI being that nothing works to the problem being that everything works."Dan Klein has been studying language models for over two decades and is now a professor of computer science at Berkeley. His new company, Scaled Cognition, is built around one question: how do you build a system that will not lie to you?In this episode, Dan joins Lukas Biewald to talk about why every LLM output is technically a hallucination, how reinforcement learning can quietly teach AI to deceive you, and what it actually takes to build models that check their own work.He also gets into why reliability is the one part of AI that hasn't kept pace and why that matters more than most people realize.Connect with us here: Dan KleinScaled CognitionLukas BiewaldWeights and Biases

It's easy to admit to having biases, but much harder to pin down what they are, let alone figure out what to do about them. Nevertheless, IDEAS producer Tom Howell gives it his best shot. He looks into what the rewards might be, if we could name and identify our own most important biases.This episode is part one of a three-part series exploring the meaning of 'bias.' It originally aired on Sept. 7, 2021.

When you walk up to a table with a group of people, you probably pick a seat without thinking much about it. But where you sit can subtly shape how others perceive you and how the interaction unfolds. There's actually a simple strategy to choosing a seat that can give you an advantage — whether the table is round, square, large, or small. https://lifehacker.com/always-choose-the-best-seat-at-any-multi-person-table-5990596 No matter how rational you try to be, your thinking is shaped by biases you can't fully escape. These biases influence what you believe, the decisions you make, and even what you consider to be “true.” Alex Edmans, professor of finance at London Business School and author of May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics, and Studies Exploit Our Biases―And What We Can Do About It (https://amzn.to/3vprIz3), explains how easily our biases can be manipulated by data, headlines, and persuasive stories — and how to become a more careful, independent thinker in a world full of misinformation. When you think of elite performers — Navy SEALs, top athletes, high-level leaders — what stands out is their ability to stay focused, calm, and effective under pressure. That kind of mental discipline may seem out of reach, but it isn't. Eric Potterat, a clinical and performance psychologist and retired Navy commander who helped design the mental toughness training used by the SEALs, explains how these skills are built. He breaks down the habits and mindset shifts that allow people to perform at a high level — even in stressful, uncertain situations. Eric is author of Learned Excellence: Mental Disciplines for Leading and Winning from the World's Top Performers (https://amzn.to/3TV4Qka).

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux unpacks Iran's real average IQ near 84 via Richard Lynn's data, shattering online test myths, political censorship and ideological fury to reveal intelligence's raw grip on civilizations.Questions:"Would you say your love for the music of Freddy Mercury is the primary factor that has unconsciously influenced you to repeatedly make false claims on X that the average IQ of Iran is 104-106. Firstly Stef, I'm a man who is deeply fascinated by the topic of IQ. And having said that I know that the IQ of Iran is roughly 84. I of course am not an IQ scientist/researcher myself but I have several sources from the top IQ experts some of which you probably have heard of (or maybe even interviewed on your show!). Now data from the most prominent IQ scientist Richard Lynn confirms the average IQ of Iran to be 84 (Citation 'The Wealth of Nations (2002), pg.133'. Which conversely is not only 20 points lower than your outrageous 104 IQ claim but is also even lower than Iraq which is 87. Now of course in a country of 90 million people you might have a million people with an IQ of 104 and let's say 90,000 people with an IQ of >129 (See Normal Distribution charts attached below). So you will have some very smart people in Iran, but these people are an extreme minority generated by the bell curve of genetics being thrown 90 million times!, so as a whole on average most of the 90 million Iranians are borderline intellectually disabled. Now Stef back to your claim. Your claim is OUTRAGEOUS! You claim the IQ of Iran is 104-106, which is complete nonsense. I mean Stef think about what you're saying Stef. Your saying the IQ of Iran a dysfunctional country majority populated with brainwashed borderline mentally dysfunctional people is the same as a highly industrious, innovative and merit based futuristic tech megalopolis like Japan. I mean spend one day in Japan and spend one day in Iran and I imagine the experience would be like worlds apart, yet you Stef claim that the IQ of Iran is the same as Japan??? WHATTT???? Does randomly firing missiles every so often like a child having a tantrum prove anything but the government of Iran is full of low IQ dysfunctional people. Now I know the IQ of the government is not necessarily the same as the general population. BUT, if the IQ of the general population was really that much higher than the governing leaders, then those moronic leaders would have been deposed of by the people a long time ago. Yet they weren't, so we should infer the general population isn't in fact that much more intelligent than the government's. Stef, in the West you might encounter Iranians who are very smart, but it goes without saying this sample is a very biased sample. What is particularly strange about all this, is you Stef are a man with a very high knowledge about IQ's effect on national wealth and civil decorum and functionality, yet despite Iran being a highly dysfunctional nation at practically any level you can look at, you Stef echo a claim that the IQ of Iran is the same as Japan and even higher than Western Europe! How ABSURD! Which brings me back to my initial question. (Continued...)"@freedomain (Continuing on ->) So Stef, when otherwise rational people act out of character and push fake news based on data that is from a biased sample (or is possibly even data that has been manipulated and propagated as a psy-op by the Iranian government) when they otherwise wouldn't ordinarily do so, one naturally has to ask WHY??? In my opinion, I think I know the answer. Stef, the only thing that explains this BIZARRE behaviour of yours (tweeting unverified claims about IQ), is you Stef have a bias in favour of Iran which I think stems from your love of Freddy Mercury music. Would you agree Stef?"(*** Stef you did tweet out a Youtube video of a Freddy Mercury song at about the same time you made your Iran IQ tweets, so I think the evidence is clear Stef, Freddy Mercury was on your mind, when you made those fake news Iran 104 IQ tweets.)"Now, lastly Stef you might be asking, why putting out a FALSE tweet falsely claiming the IQ of Iran is 104 even matter's that much? To that I would say it matters a whole lot because IQ of course matters a whole lot, including in regards to military objectives and war. Like ask why would invading Iran be any different from Iraq? Did Trump invade Iran because he thought it would lead to a different outcome because Trump views the population of Iran to be quote 'high IQ people'? (as Trump even said so as much in the last 24 hours.)"BUT … Mr. Trump, what if Iran isn't populated by high IQ people, what if Mr. Trump you were misled by fake news that Mr. Molyneux negligently tweeted rather than read the actual source material. (Lynn, 'The Wealth of Nations' (2002) IQ of Iran = 84). Well, Mr. Trump if you believed the average IQ of the population of Iran was 104 then you Mr. Trump might have assumed that all you had to do was take out the authoritarian government and then the high IQ population will swiftly bring about peace and democracy. But Mr. Trump, what if the average IQ of Iran is not 104? What if the top IQ scientists such as Lynn were right and the average IQ of Iran is in fact 84? Well then Mr. Trump, then your dealing with a very low IQ population, who will be frankly impossible to deal with, they will inevitably vote for another dictator and you Mr. Trump will find yourself in another forever war. That is why national IQ matters and that is why putting out false unverified and unsubstantiated tweets about IQ is a great error of judgment. Lastly to conclude, I believe in the great predictive power of IQ like you Stef, which is why I think it would be incumbent upon you to put out a correction unless you have verified sources from other top IQ researchers that support your OUTRAGEOUS Iran 104 National IQ claim.""Hi Stef! when communicating philosophy or philosophical ideas to the average person, and they respond with confusion or indifference, how do we know whether we have failed to adequately relay the ideas or if it is just too complex a language for them to grasp? I know everyone is capable of understanding philosophy on some level even if they're lower IQ, so could the disconnect come from the disparity of time spent in the subject?""Your Sunday (3/15) show was incredible. As a Catholic, that opening monologue challenging today's Christians to answer with clarity what Jesus commands via the Good Samaritan parable, especially when it comes to the specific child abuse scenario you laid out, it left me with a deep sense of sorrow for what you endured, and my own sense of frustration with the leadership of the Church."The reality that not one, no church leaders, Anglican or not, lay or religious influencers; no one has tried to dialogue with you to address these essential issues, when you have been pointing them out for decades is more than disappointing to hear."(Not as disappointing as some of the immediate live caller responses yesterday... the second woman was out of line, and the gentleman who landed on the idea that if you had not been abused, we wouldn't have received your philosophy gifts was hard to stomach.)"Nonetheless, if one (myself) was going to try to reach out, share your 3/15 show and try to coordinate a dialogue just to deal with the Good Samaritan and cold abuse topic, is that something you would be comfortable with?"second question"a few days ago, someone asked about how you feel about the Shroud of Turin, maybe you missed it but there has been renewed interest in the Shroud the last few years when a new photo 'negative' that appeared in 2024 along with new studies that for many was very compelling ... from a reason and evidence standpoint... to the image being impossible to reproduce."I could be wrong but I felt like your answer lumped it so quickly with other things ... I believe u mentioned people of faith like Aquinas have searched for 'proof' for centuries. And you found that people of faith who are seeking proof to be an interesting paradox."are you able to revisit this topic and assess what authenticating (if we are to believe the new reporting) that specific historical artifact could mean for at least establishing how the image came to be on the cloth?"again appreciate all u do to improve the world via philosophy and advocating for objective morality.""America in WW2 has burned down some and bombed all the major cities in Japan, even using the atomic bomb to create a glimpse of hell never before seen on earth. Yet today, the alliance between US and Japan couldnt be friendlier. In the middle east, we've also bombed them to next week and back for 30 or so years. And they still, understandably, hate the US. What do you think causes this difference in point of view between the countries? Is it religion/culture? Could it be IQ? Forgive me if this is too politcal or naive a question. Thank you!""My martial arts club have a Hazing ritual that I believe is immoral and useless. I trying to get it banned."Whats your opinions on hazing?
