Nathan Cofnas is the academic researcher who broke the story alleging Jason Arday had fabricated his biography and plagiarized his PhD thesis, a scandal that led to Arday's resignation from Cambridge University and, weeks later, his death. But Cofnas has his own history of controversy. He's a self-described race realist who says that genetic differences between population groups explain average IQ gaps. His argument has gotten him attacks from both the right and left, the termination of his research post at Cambridge's Emmanuel College, and a since-lifted suspension from Ghent University. He joins Coleman Hughes to walk through the Arday scandal in detail, then defends his research directly. They get into whether ideas about race and IQ should be discussed openly among elites, whether cultural explanations for racial disparities hold up, and whether mainstreaming these claims about IQ would tear society apart rather than heal it. Hughes argues that most people are incapable of separating a claim about group averages from how they judge individuals, and that this is exactly why the conversation is so dangerous to bring into the mainstream.

We've all done it: put off that email, project… or even something we genuinely want to do. But why do we procrastinate? Researcher Itamar Schatz says it's not that we're just lazy, distracted or bad at managing our time, but that often procrastinators care more rather than less about what they're doing and fear the possibility of failure. We'll look at new research that explores the hidden psychology behind why we delay — and tools to finally get moving.

In this episode I sit down with Cambridge University researcher and lecturer Itamar Shatz to explore why we procrastinate, what's really happening beneath the surface, and how we can stop relying on willpower to get things done.Together, we unpack why procrastination isn't simply laziness, how fear, uncertainty and perfectionism can keep us stuck, and why distractions like social media are often a symptom rather than the real problem. Itamar also shares practical strategies from his book Solving Procrastination for making action easier and creating systems that work with our behaviour rather than against it.What we cover:Why we procrastinate, even when we know exactly what we should be doingHow perfectionism, fear and uncertainty can make procrastination worseWhy social media may not be the real reason you're avoiding important tasksHow breaking big goals into tiny, manageable steps can make it easier to take actionWhy systems, reducing friction and the “reality rule” can be more effective than relying on willpowerWhether you're putting off a career change, struggling to start an important project, avoiding your tax return or simply finding yourself scrolling instead of taking action, this conversation offers a practical, research-based approach to understanding procrastination, and finally doing something about it.Grab a copy of Itamar's latest book here - https://solvingprocrastination.com/book/Learn more about Itamar here - https://itamarshatz.meConnect with Itamar on LinkedIn here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/itamarshatz/If you're interested in having me deliver a keynote or workshop for your team contact Caroline at caroline@jjlaughlin.comWebsite: https://www.jjlaughlin.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6GETJbxpgulYcYc6QAKLHA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JamesLaughlinOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameslaughlinofficial/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/life-on-purpose-with-james-laughlin/id1547874035 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WBElxcvhCHtJWBac3nOlF?si=hotcGzHVRACeAx4GvybVOQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameslaughlincoaching/James Laughlin is a High Performance Leadership Coach, Former 7-Time World Champion, Host of the Habits of High Performers Podcast and an Executive Coach to high performers and leaders.

On this week's Neutralizing Workplace Racism, we confront a shifting, high-friction employment landscape where structural deception, economic contractions, and active workplace threats converge. This week's news reports validate our continuous thesis: as the global economy tightens and systemic fractures intensify, non-white workers face dual perils—hostile corporate gatekeeping from above and unaddressed street-level violence from within their own operational sectors. We deconstruct the critical data blocks exposing how the illusion of workplace equity is actively falling apart under the weight of political shifts and institutional counter-strikes. THE CORES OF THIS WEEK'S BROADCAST TRANSMISSION: 1. The WABE Black Unemployment Realignment: We deconstruct the latest August 18, 2026 report from Atlanta featuring Emory University economist Dr. David McMillon. We analyze the devastating reality of Black unemployment in the second Trump term, looking past unreliable federal numbers to expose the severe job losses crushing college-graduate Black females and noncollege-graduate Black males as the federal workforce undergoes seismic reduction. 2. The Jason Arday Cambridge Takedown Tracking: We evaluate the intense institutional and media pincer that targeted Cambridge University's youngest Black professor, Dr. Jason Arday, leading up to his sudden death following a high-profile plagiarism and application credential investigation. We examine the broader tactical question of whether non-white applicants should manipulate biographical details on their employment paperwork to bypass racist gatekeepers—maintaining an objective, neutral boundary regarding Dr. Arday's own records while analyzing the brutal consequences when White people question our credentials. 3. The Construction Site Threat Assessment (Listener Dossier): We review an urgent report mailed in by a C.O.W.S. listener who was physically threatened by a hostile coworker on an active construction layout. We outline the precise, fact-only administrative shields and documentation parameters needed to report the incident to corporate safety officers without giving up your workplace neutrality or getting sucked into a localized street-level altercation. Between macro-economic workforce cuts, academic cancel culture, and active physical intimidation on industrial job sites, maintaining a clinical, data-driven boundary remains your only valid metric of survival. Your absolute priority on the clock is not seeking corporate validation or relying on institutional "diversity" programs—it is enforcing a strict "Workplace Matters Only" perimeter, tracking your paper trail with absolute precision, and reducing your daily footprint to exit your shift completely intact. #SurviveYourShift #WorkplaceViolence #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #DrJasonArday #UntilJustice #JusticeForSade #BlackUnemployment Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#
In a shocking turn of events, a prestigious professor's life came crashing down, leaving behind a trail of deceit and controversy. This episode delves into the story of Jason R. Day, a 41-year-old black professor at Cambridge University, who was accused of plagiarizing his academic work and lying about his achievements. His memoir, set to be published by Simon and Schuster, was riddled with outlandish claims that raised eyebrows and sparked a heated debate about the dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. The speaker discusses how DEI policies can lead to the dilution of exceptionalism and the promotion of individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions. They argue that this approach can be detrimental to individuals who are truly talented and deserving of recognition. The episode also touches on the role of institutions like Cambridge University and publishers like Simon and Schuster in perpetuating this culture of deceit. The speaker highlights the case of Jason R. Day, who was given a professorship despite his questionable credentials and a memoir that was later found to be riddled with lies. They argue that this is a prime example of how DEI policies can lead to the promotion of individuals who are not truly qualified for their positions. The episode also explores the consequences of this approach, including the devastating impact on individuals like Jason R. Day. Join us as we explore the darker side of DEI policies and the consequences of promoting individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions.

The shocking death of former Cambridge University professor Jason Arday raises serious questions about the press investigation of his career and the claims he made about his life. Some blame the right-wing press for his death, others the university. Some blame the litany of racist and abusive messages Arday received online. Where should responsibility lie? Plus, Andy Burnham is clearly more comfortable navigating today's online world than Keir Starmer. But does he fully grasp the forces he's up against? Are Russia, China and malign actors closer to home “flooding the zone” with disinformation to drown out the truth? Former senior UK government adviser-turned disinformation analyst Amil Khan joins the panel to dissect the information war that Burnham faces. • Questions for But Your Emails? Thoughts? Comments?

The chancellor of Cambridge University today has condemned the "racist feeding frenzy" around Jason Arday. Arday was found dead on Friday after a relentless slew of articles querying the veracity of his academic work and life story. Was it really in the public interest to scrutinise every aspect of his life - even after he'd resigned from his post? Or did the controversy around Jason Arday's appointment become a bloodsport for the British media? Would he have faced anything like the same level of hostility if he had been white?Later, why are Albanians taking to the street every night in such great numbers to demand the toppling of their government? And why are the Trump family so intimately involved?The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

How do you read the Bible? Most of us assume we already know: we read to learn what happened, to understand what a passage means, or to find a principle to apply. In this episode, host Dan Hummel is joined by guest Jeff Dryden, professor of biblical studies and department chair at Covenant College, to ask whether Scripture is inviting us to something deeper.Dryden is the author of A Hermeneutic of Wisdom: Recovering the Formative Agency of Scripture (Baker Academic), which argues that the whole Bible — not just its "wisdom" books — is written to shape our deepest loves and convictions, not merely to hand us information or timeless principles. Dan and Jeff talk through why biblical scholars are trained to tell us what a text meant rather than what it means, how that division of labor between biblical studies and theology leaves a formation-shaped gap, and what philosophers like Hans-Georg Gadamer and Michael Polanyi have to offer pastors and everyday readers trying to close it.Along the way: why Paul is a far less systematic thinker than popular imagination suggests, what Mark's Gospel is doing to our idols of Jesus, and why "the Bible wasn't written to us, but it was written for us" is true — and doesn't go far enough.In this episode:Why biblical scholars are trained to ask what a text meant, not what it means — and what gets lost in that division of labor Why the Bible is always "applied theology" — never abstract, formal theology — and what that means for how a sermon should be builtReading Mark's Gospel as an exercise in dismantling our idols of who Jesus isHans-Georg Gadamer's idea of Wirkungsgeschichte ("history of effects") and why we can never step outside the tradition we read fromAugustine's test for biblical understanding: if you haven't grown in love of God and neighbor, you haven't understood a wordWhy the historical-critical and grammatical-historical methods — liberal and conservative alike — share the same modern DNAWhat's next for Dryden: a forthcoming book on evangelical moralism and legalism as counterfeit versions of the gospelAbout the guest:Jeff Dryden (PhD, Cambridge University) is professor of biblical studies and chair of the department at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, where he has taught for nearly two decades.

‘The populists, nationalists, stupid nationalists, they are in love with their own countries', declared Jean-Claude Juncker, the former president of the European Commission, in May 2019. This familiar retort of a leading figure in the globalised elite exemplifies the recent fashion for regarding any manifestation of national pride with contempt. But what was intended as a snide insult about love of country then, now seems to have been embraced with pride by millions throughout the West. Whether it's the seeming unstoppable rise of national populist parties throughout Europe or the popular MAGA support for Donald Trump's pursuit of national interest, it seems that unapologetic nationalism is in the ascendant. In Britain, one very visual grassroots campaign, Operation Raise the Colours, illustrates this shift. Local people have been inspired to hang thousands of Saint George's Cross and Union flags on lampposts all over the country. And as quickly as local councils rip them down, flags are defiantly raised again, a symbolic gesture of an unashamed nationalist pride. This is a momentous shift in the West because, until recently, many felt inhibited about voicing their patriotic sentiments in the wake of an implicit but dogged, top-down cultural crusade against nationalism. Its negative associations with national rivalries, war and fascism continue to resonate. Many commentators are perhaps understandably queasy. Is this an emboldened demonstration of xenophobia and bigotry? However, others point out that the growth of supranational institutions, as a counter to these alleged negatives, has undermined the legitimacy of the nation-state per se. This has led to official scepticism of borders, an embrace of mass migration and an associated disregard for the specific privileges of national citizenship. Meanwhile, the gradual detachment of the governing elites from the institutions of the nation has contributed to their alienation from their own nation's culture and popular sentiment. In many places, this has included increasing institutional hostility to the country's historic legacy, presented as a national story of shame, slavery, colonialism, oppression. But perhaps the governing classes' loss of ability to inspire loyalty and pride in the nation has fomented a backlash. Now a people's rebellion seems determined to take back control of the national narrative. Meanwhile, the ideology of globalisation is rapidly unravelling. Postwar international legal agreements and institutions, such as the European Convention on Human Rights, are now exposed as barriers to pursuing national interest in global affairs. Is the national sovereignty now emerging a key to the conduct of global affairs once more? At a time when many feel an increasing sense of isolation, of being disconnected from any larger shared project, is a return to national identity an inevitable, even welcome trend? Or does it reflect an absence of alternatives, a feeling that ordinary people have little else to hold on to? Does nationalism still retain its worrying, discredited associations with everything from racism to warmongering? Or is nationalism a return to our democratic roots, a force capable of forging national solidarity that can overcome the divisive fragmentation of demographic, cultural, ethnic, identitarian and political changes that have left citizens feeling like strangers in their own land? Can political elites learn to love their country again, and allow national interest to guide policies in the best interest of their nation state?

Jason Arday, a storied black academic at Cambridge University in the UK, and Angel Reese, a less storied black basketball player in the WBA, have both had their narratives called into question. Arday's fall from grace (allegations of plagiarism and lies about his past) has become a cause célèbres, while almost no one noticed what was going on with Reese's little Barbie tale. However, both speak to a ginormous shift in black culture, from one grounded in the Christian notion of truth to one that—at least among academics and others marinated in leftism—has broken free of facts thanks to post-modern victim culture.

Tommy and Ben are back with a week of war, drama over an international bridge, and an angry Norwegian World Cup fan.First up, the guys say farewell to the ceasefire between Iran and the US, hello to a new forever war, and analyze how a rushed, sloppily worded agreement negotiated by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff collapsed. The New York Times reveals the details of Israel's embarrassing failed plot to install former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran's new president, including a fake climate conference in Budapest and a Mossad extraction plan. Trump is using questions about the new Qatari gifted Air Force One to attack reporters and a $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit to Canada is at the center of another Trump corruption story. In Venezuela, the earthquake death toll has climbed to nearly 4,500, and reporting confirms that Marco Rubio is essentially running the country from Washington. A Cambridge University study reveals that Boko Haram fighters have been using AI chatbots to design explosives and plan attacks. After the NATO summit in Turkey, President Erdogan gave every leader a vintage pistol with live ammo as a parting gift, and a single Norwegian man calls out the historical inaccuracies of the row by World Cup fans. Then Ben speaks to Congressman Ro Khanna about his trip to the West Bank and his detention by Israeli settlers.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
