Despite all of his accomplishments and the many demands on his time, Jacob retains his passion for chess books and chess improvement. He returns to the podcast to discuss: How to actually improve at calculation, including why many club players should spend more time solving simple tactics rather than difficult calculation exercises Some of the key concepts from his excellent new book, A Killer Guide to Attacking Chess How to categorize the mistakes in your games without overcomplicating the process Some of the forthcoming chess books he is most excited about Jacob also teases an exciting new project with GM Garry Kasparov and shares his thoughts on the Olympiad, the FIDE election, and the health of the chess publishing business, among many other topics.

For this year's summer reading recommendations, host Lee Rawles shares three recommended reads, three books on her to-be-read pile, and three TV shows she's enjoyed. The recommended reads are all fiction this time around, ranging from a spooky contemporary, to a historical novel about the Black Death, to a frothy sweet romance novel. Her to-be-read pile includes a Danish book about time loops, a history of the world in 12 shipwrecks, and a romantic fantasy book with the tag line: "Two heroes. One brain cell." After her pop culture picks, this episode includes a re-airing of a May 2025 interview with Richard Susskind about his book How to Think About AI: A Guide for the Perplexed. There have been so many developments in the AI landscape in the year since it first aired that it's worth listening back to Susskind's predictions and warnings to see what's already come true and what has changed.

Timothy Terrell revisits Mises's 1920 bombshell: under socialism, rational economic calculation isn't just hard—it's impossible. Without market prices for the means of production, a central planner is blind, unable to tell whether he's creating wealth or destroying it. Terrell traces the argument from Soviet railroads and steel-bodied fighter jets to a strikingly modern target: the U.S. government's central planning of the American West.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 21, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

A eulogistic weepfest? A “valediction forbidding mourning”? A conscious unthroupling? All of the above?Believe it or not, the time has come for Steve, Dana, and Julia to convene the Culture Gabfest panel for the very last time. Before saying goodbye, they look back at the very first piece of culture they ever gabbed about on their inaugural episode in February 2008: the film Juno. Does the indie darling written by Diablo Cody, directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Elliot Page as a sardonic, pregnant teenager hold up after 18 years? And, what does rewatching it in 2026 reveal about how culture has changed? They discuss.Next, the panel welcomes on the grand poobah of SFOPs June Thomas to counsel them through the inevitable change in one's cultural habits that comes after a big life transition. They get into why June stopped watching TV and the truly wild mix of things in her YouTube algorithm. Finally, we hear from you our dear, dear listeners. Steve, Dana, and Julia respond to some of your many beautiful emails and voice memos.

Renowned author and trainer GM R.B. Ramesh is one of the rare coaches who has worked extensively with the world's elite players while still providing practical advice for ambitious amateurs. Long respected as one of chess's leading trainers and authors, Ramesh has helped guide the development of stars such as GMs Praggnanandhaa, Vaishali, and Aravindh Chithambaram. As his students continue to reach new heights, Ramesh remains committed to sharing lessons that can benefit players at every level. For that reason, it was exciting news when he recently announced the relaunch of his YouTube channel, where he plans to regularly share free instructional content. In our conversation, we discussed: • What he has learned from coaching elite players• When to focus on calculation versus pattern recognition• The risks of burnout for top young players We also discussed Ramesh's plans for future content, whether he has any new chess book recommendations, and how aspiring players can make the most of their limited study time.

Paulo SantAnna is living the dream of many adult chess improvers. The retired software engineer has spent the past several years devoting serious time and energy to improving his game, and the results have been impressive. When Paulo rekindled his interest in tournament chess, his FIDE rating had fallen to a recent low of 1850. Through years of hard study, travel, disciplined training, and resilience, he recently reached a new high over 2100 FIDE in his mid-50s! We discuss: The moment Paulo decided to get serious about improvement The mistakes he made early in his comeback How he structures his training Study recommendations and practical advice for adult improvers Physical fitness, tournament selection, and maintaining motivation I found Paulo's story inspiring, and it offers hope for the rest of us,  if we only could get rid of these pesky jobs. 0:00 Intro  More on the Adult Improver series here: https://www.perpetualchesspod.com/adultimprover Thanks to those who keep the show running!

Are you getting your full entitlement, spousal Social Security, or—like one of my recent clients—missing out on hundreds, even thousands, of dollars each year? This week, I discuss how spousal benefits work, what the eligibility requirements are, and the critical steps you need to take to ensure you aren't leaving money on the table. If you or your spouse are nearing retirement or already collecting benefits, this episode will equip you with the knowledge to maximize your Social Security income and avoid common mistakes.   You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Spousal social security benefits [01:56] Criteria for receiving spousal benefit [02:25] Calculation of spousal social security benefit [07:26] Confusion when both spouses are eligible for their own and spousal benefits [09:46] Sue's social security increase [11:24] Misconception that adjustments are automatic    Understanding Spousal Social Security Benefits If you are married (or divorced after a marriage of at least 10 years), you may qualify for spousal Social Security benefits. For those with limited earning histories or lower primary insurance amounts (PIA), this benefit is especially valuable. At your full retirement age (FRA)—which is 67 if you were born in 1960 or later—you can collect up to 50% of your spouse's full retirement benefit, so long as your own benefit is less than half of theirs. If your own benefit exceeds half your spouse's, you'll receive your own larger benefit. Social Security will always pay the higher of the two benefits, but not both combined. This makes it vital to understand where you fall before claiming.   How Early Claiming Reduces Your Benefit Timing is critical. Claiming spousal benefits before your FRA means your payments will be permanently reduced. The reductions work as follows: For the first 36 months before your FRA, your benefit is reduced by 25/36 of 1% for every month claimed early. Additional months over 36 are reduced by 5/12 of 1% per month. For example, if a spousal benefit of $800 is claimed 36 months early, the amount drops to $600, a 25% reduction. If claimed 60 months early (at age 62), the benefit falls by roughly 35% to $520.   Key Rules of Spousal Benefit Eligibility To receive a spousal benefit, several conditions must be met: Your spouse must be collecting their Social Security benefit (unless you're claiming divorced benefits, in which case your ex only needs to be eligible). You must be at least age 62 (or have a qualifying child under 16 or with a disability in your care). Generally, you need to be married for at least one year before applying, though this rule doesn't apply if you're the parent of your spouse's child. If divorced, you must have been married for at least 10 years. Spousal benefits do not increase if you wait past your full retirement age to claim. The maximum is always 50% of your spouse's PIA. Delaying only increases benefits on your own work record, not on a spousal claim.   Spousal Benefits Are Not Automatic One major pitfall couples face is assuming that spousal benefits "switch on" automatically when their higher-earning spouse starts collecting their benefit. In reality, the Social Security Administration often needs to be contacted directly to initiate the higher spousal benefit. I share a case where a client (Sue) was entitled to a much larger benefit once her husband began taking Social Security at age 70, yet her benefit wasn't increased until she contacted Social Security, resulting in a missed $900/month for six months. Social Security would only issue six months of retroactive pay, meaning the client lost out on another six months of increased income. Don't assume the system will identify and correct missed benefits for you—it's up to you (and your advisor) to ensure you're receiving everything you've earned.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  Social Security Fairness Act   Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

Mises's response, addressing subsidies more generally, is instructive: "A project P is unprofitable when and because consumers prefer the satisfaction expected from the realization of some other projects to the satisfaction expected from the realization of P. The realization of P would withdraw capital and labor from the realization of some other projects for which the demand of the consumers is more urgent. The layman and the pseudo-economist fail to recognize this fact. They stubbornly refuse to notice the scarcity of the factors of production."

All human values are offered for option. All ends and all means, both material and ideal issues, the sublime and the base, the noble and the ignoble, are ranged in a single row and subjected to a decision which picks out one thing and sets aside another. Nothing that men aim at or want to avoid remains outside of this arrangement into a unique scale of gradation and preference. Out of the political economy of the classical school emerges the general theory of human action, praxeology.

A paid-off property sounds like success… until you run the ROE.

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we explain why neatness and writing style is so important. It is really surprising how little care candidates take in writing in an appealing way, considering that is all the interviewer can see for the 30-45 minute case. Neat writing will not get you an offer, but it can be an annoying distraction both to you and the interviewer.

In this episode we answer emails from Thirsty Horse, Mark, and Mike.  We discuss a wise friend and lessons on clarity, happiness, and preparing for the end, how we got involved with the Father McKenna Center and Fairfax CASA, and dig into the real work behind CASA and foster care.  Then we pivot back to practical investing and tax planning without shortcuts. Links:Fairfax CASA Donation Page:  Donate - Fairfax CASAChoose FI Episode on The Five Regrets of the Dying (and Mamie):  Top Five Regrets of the Dying | Book Club | Ep 574Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:You can have a rock-solid retirement portfolio and still miss the whole point. We start with a final push for Mary's Fairfax CASA fundraiser, then share why a Court Appointed Special Advocate matters for kids in the foster care system and what real advocacy looks like when courts, schools, and social services move slowly. Mary also tells a case outcome that sticks with you: a child moving from neglect and instability to a stable home after a parent does the hard work over years.From there, we answer a listener who asks the question behind so many “financial independence” plans: how do you decide what level of time, emotional commitment, and responsibility you can take on? Frank revisits the story of Mamie McCoy and the urgency that comes with a finite life, then we get concrete about the skills that make a strong CASA and the traits that help foster parents provide stability, empathy, and advocacy for children affected by trauma.We also handle classic Risk Parity Radio topics for the DIY investor: sustainable withdrawal rates, asset allocation, and diversification. We talk through an equity-heavy portfolio that adds long-term Treasuries like VGLT for recession insurance, plus our simple “give away 1% of your portfolio each year” goal for intentional generosity. Finally, we take on portfolio automation, rebalancing, and a big tax-planning mistake: discounting traditional IRA balances by a made-up percentage instead of modeling taxes properly and considering Social Security timing.If you get value from the show, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a rating and review.

How is it that a seven-book series written in Danish about a single day repeating over and over has become something of a sensation among the literary set? Since the English translations of Solvej Balle's “On the Calculation of Volume” series were first published in the United States in 2024, they have been nominated for the International Booker Prize and the National Book Award. With the latest volume to be translated into English, Book IV, out this week, Gilbert Cruz sat down with A.O. Scott, a critic at large, and Joumana Khatib, a Book Review editor, to talk boredom, stuckness and time loops. Plus, the books in translation you should read next.

You don't always need a furnace to end up with a fire resistance rating, but you do need to understand what kind of “proof” you're actually creating. I'm joined again by Dr. Piotr Turkowski from ITB to unpack calculation methods for fire resistance and the real-world chain from engineering assumptions to a Declaration of Performance. We talk about when standards and European Assessment Documents (EADs) explicitly allow Eurocode-based assessment, and how different methods will lead you to your resulting class in a different way.We spend a lot of time on the practical heart of structural fire engineering: concrete and steel. For reinforced concrete (Eurocode 2, EN 1992-1-2), we compare tabulated data, simplified calculation approaches like the zone method, and advanced global modeling that starts to look more like performance-based fire safety engineering than classification. For steel (Eurocode 3, EN 1993-1-2), we break down critical temperature, utilization, section factor, and what you can realistically expect from unprotected members under the standard fire curve.Then we get into the more challenging  part that tables or  simplified  methods can't completely capture: fire protection materials. Sprayed mortars, boards, and intumescent coatings change properties with temperature, moisture, and expansion, and their performance can hinge on stickability, cracking, and detachment during large deflections. Finally, Piotr shares a strong caution on masonry, where tabulated data can be dangerously optimistic for some concrete hollow blocks, and we close with a look at what machine learning might someday add to fire resistance prediction.Here is a link to the paper about Masonry: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0379711226000512ITB and Piotr have international courses on fire resistance and fire testing - keep an eye out on them!----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer brings her experience investigating law enforcement leaders who clung to power under pressure to the Pima County crisis — where Sheriff Chris Nanos faces a unanimous no-confidence vote, a board threatening removal under oath, multiple federal lawsuits, and a recall effort, and still refuses to resign while overseeing the Nancy Guthrie investigation.Coffindaffer analyzes the behavioral indicators of a leader whose self-preservation instinct has overtaken institutional responsibility. When Nanos tells reporters the calls for his resignation are "white noise" and that every Pima County sheriff has faced the same thing for fifty years, Coffindaffer reads that as a man telling you exactly how he processes accountability — by dismissing it.She maps the legal exposure Nanos faces the moment he no longer controls the institution: the Lappin lawsuit, the deposition perjury questions, the board's sworn inquiry into personnel discipline and immigration enforcement, the ACLU allegations, and four decades of records that have been under one person's control. The badge itself, Coffindaffer argues, may be functioning as a legal shield — and that's why he won't put it down.From an FBI investigative framework, the combination of concealed employment history, political retaliation against opponents, budget overruns, and the systematic sidelining of anyone who challenged his authority represents a pattern that extends well beyond mismanagement. Coffindaffer asks what a real audit of this man's leadership might reveal — and why that question matters both to Pima County and to the family still waiting for answers about Nancy Guthrie.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A meditation preached at Kintore College, Toronto on April 1, 2026, Wednesday of Holy Week.Matt 26:14-25: One of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?” They paid him thirty pieces of silver, and from that time on, he looked for an opportunity to hand him over.What are you willing to give me? That was Judas' calculation: How much is Jesus worth? He is asking them: How much is he worth to you, so that I make this be profitable, he is saying… He was not even sure how seriously they would take him. This question, What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?, came from Judas, but it can also come from Jesus himself to us. He says to us: How much are you willing to give me? How much time, all your dedication, your reputation, your future plans, your time, your comfort…Thumbnail: Rembrandt, Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver, circa 1629, at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York.Music: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Bob untangles two arguments that even Austrian economists sometimes conflate: Mises' calculation problem and Hayek's knowledge problem. Then, he explains why the distinction matters, especially in light of recent claims that AI and modern computing could finally make central planning viable.Related:Bob's Article, "Socialism: The Calculation Problem Is Not the Knowledge Problem": Mises.org/HAP543aThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

The Cost Approach is one of the most misunderstood aspects of real estate appraisal. Many appraisers treat it as a required form step. They calculate cost. Then, they subtract depreciation. Finally, they move on. But the Cost Approach is much more than a calculation tool.  It is a framework for understanding how markets create and recognize value. It connects land, labor, capital, and risk.  What risk? There are many.  Every property begins with construction. Before any sale, there is investment. Somebody must purchase materials. Which contractors to hire?  Is all this cash outflow worth the risk? The Cost Approach models this process.  It asks a simple question.  What would it cost to build this property today?  Then it asks a deeper question.  Does the market recognize that cost?  What if there are gaps between the cost approach and the sales comparison approach?  This gap between cost and value is critical.  It is not an error.  Rather, it is market data.  If cost exceeds value, the property may be overbuilt.  If value exceeds cost, demand may be strong. Is there depreciation?  Depreciation is also an aspect of the cost approach most appraisers misunderstand.  It is not just subtraction.  It reflects how the market reacts to age, design, and external forces.  This approach helps explain buyer behavior.  The Sales Comparison Approach shows what buyers paid.  The Cost Approach helps explain why they paid it. What else?  The cost approach is a diagnostic tool.  It tests assumptions, reveals inconsistencies, and sharpens reconciliation.  Strong appraisers do not ignore it.  They use it to think more clearly.  It shows them how to separate cost from value. The Cost Approach is not about filling out a form.  It is about understanding how markets transform investment into value.

Understanding history is not about understanding formulas or narratives. Instead, we must understand the people who made history, their motives, and their goals.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/history-not-mathematical-calculation

 INTELLIGENCE AND CALCULATION IN THE CRUCIBLE OF COMMAND Colleague Admiral James Stavridis. Admiral Stavridis discusses leadership lessons from his book To Risk It All. He highlights Admiral George Dewey's victory at Manila Bay, which relied on gathering human intelligence from diplomats in the absence of modern technology. Conversely, he analyzes Admiral Bill Halsey's failure at Leyte Gulf, where poor communication and impulsive decision-making led him to abandon the landing force based on misleading intelligence. Stavridis also profiles Admiral Michelle Howard's calculated risk-taking during the Maersk Alabama rescue, noting her ability to weigh the life-or-death consequences for Captain Phillips without letting career anxieties paralyze her decision-making.
