Who is the strongest? Is it the person with the biggest Powerlifting total? Weightlifting total? The current Worlds Strongest Man/Woman Champion? Or, perhaps, the current Arnold Strongman Classic Champion? It's an oft-debated question, typically occurring around the proverbial fitness water cooler. However, recently Dr. Kind, Dr. Veit, Dr. Heffernan, and our very own Dr. Helms made this debate into a multidisciplinary academic paper. Specifically, they asked the question through the lens of history, what has strength meant in society since the dawn of physical culture, what is strength philosophically, and finally, what is strength objectively, as measured in sport and exercise science? Join us as we discuss why asking this question is important, and how these very different disciplines turned out to be quite complementary in providing an answer.   The MASS crew records Iron Culture LIVE on YouTube, every Monday night at 7pm eastern time.

Welcome back to "Get Organised with Decluttr Me Podcast"! After a 4-month break, I'm thrilled to return with fresh insights on decluttering and organising, especially when you're on a budget. In this episode, I tackle the allure of perfectly organized spaces on social media and the reality of high costs associated with trendy organisers. I share practical tips to achieve an organised home without breaking the bank, starting with evaluating your space and its needs. Key points covered: Assessing the viability of organisational inspiration in your own space. The importance of decluttering before purchasing new containers. Repurposing existing items like old candle jars and shoe boxes for storage. Utilizing free or low-cost items from grocery stores or online marketplaces. Categorising items and organising them into appropriate zones within your home. Building sustainable organisational habits over time. Remember, effective organisation is about functionality and sustainability, not just aesthetics. Stay tuned for more episodes, and don't forget to subscribe and share if you enjoyed this one!

Robbie Douek is CEO of Blast, one of the leading tournament providers in the ever present esports industry. I'm really excited to bring you this show. We have had more requests for an esports episode than any other over the past few months, and this industry is the epitome of modern entertainment meets traditional fandom.  Blast hosts events in some of the most popular games, like Counter-Strike and Dota, bringing incredible live production to fans all over the world.  The gaming industry is now worth over $200bn, and that number will only get bigger. This conversation focuses on what is driving this development, how it learns from traditional sport, but also importantly, what makes it different, and how the traditional industries of sport, music, entertainment can benefit from the reach and success of gaming today. This week, we discuss: Esports vs Gaming Gaming is the entire ecosystem; esports is the competitive end of the industry. What is the difference? Categorising esports: does it matter whether we think of esports as a sport or alternative entertainment? What do games publishers use the esports industry to achieve? How do companies like Blast drive value for them to promote their games and generate fandom? The esports industry is a long way off being the 'Super Bowl', but this is what it should aspire to be and seek to acheive.  Crossover industries Gaming and esports have driven huge engagement with some of the most valuable demographics to traditional brands, sports rightsholders, movie studios etc The traditional entertainment industry can recognise real value from working with the gaming industry. What is being done to realise this? How esports tournaments are the most incredible showcases of proper fandom similar to what you'd expect in a sports stadium. Blast x Alpine F1 - an example of how you drive value for businesses looking to reach new audiences. Development of the industry  Esports as a bubble was a popular phrase for those not confident in the longevity of the industry. Is this fair? Covid was great for eyeballs but bad for brand development in the industry. The successes are built on experiential opportunity. The changing investment landscape: how we are no longer likely to see huge sums spent on franchise slots, but does that mean an end to esports investment?

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob is talking to Matt McInnes Watson about the critical role of jump training in physical development. Matt, a former high jumper turned coach, shares insights from his extensive experience in both track and field and team sports. He discusses how balancing a full-time job, part-time PhD, and starting a business has led him to develop a systematic approach to training athletes for dynamic movements. The conversation highlights the significance of differentiating between various jump training modalities and understanding the reflexive components essential for propulsion. Matt emphasizes the importance of "deep tier" jumps as well as the need to not be obsessed with stiffness when coaching plyometrics and jumps. Additionally, Matt touches on how jump training has been a fundamental element in managing momentum and energy effectively in track and field. His passion and expertise in improving dynamic movement are evident as he explains the distinctions between plyometric and non-plyometric movements, particularly how these affect tendon dynamics and force handling during jumps. If you want to understand jump training from someone who has dedicated his life and business to this area, check out this episode. Main talking points: The importance of "deep tier" jumps. Systematic approach developed for dynamic movement training. Importance of managing momentum and energy in training. Differentiation between jump training and plyometrics Significance of takeoff and landing in jumps. Plyometric vs. non-plyometric movements Categorising jump training

So, your calendar and task manager are organised, and you have enough time to complete your important work. But how do you define what your individual tasks are? That's what I'm answering this week.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. One of the most powerful ways to improve your effectiveness is to ensure you have sufficient time each day protected for your important work. Some of these tasks will be obvious. If you're a salesperson and one of your customers asks you to send them a quote for a new product you are selling, that will come under the general category of “customers”. As this is an important part of your work as a salesperson, your “customer” category will have time protected each day. Well, I hope it does.  Then there will be your general communications and admin to deal with. We all have these categories of tasks to do each day. There's no point in sticking your head in the sand, as it were, and hoping they will go away. Emails demanding a reply do not disappear. Ignore these for one day, and you'll have double the amount to do tomorrow. This means you will need double the amount of time, too—time you likely do not have.  What this all means is that if your task manager supports tags or labels (and most do), you can use these for your categories.  This week's question is about how you choose which category for your tasks.  So, with that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from José. José asks, Hi Carl, I am struggling to define which tasks are admin, consulting, or sales-related. How do you go about choosing categories for your tasks? Hi José, thank you for your question.  Let me first explain the different categories of work you may have.  The concept here is that every task you have will come under a particular category. Those categories could be communications or admin, but they could also be sales activity, writing, designing, or marketing. Your categories will depend on the kind of work you do. Once you have established your categories, you protect time each day (or week) to work on those categories. For example, I have a category for “projects.” I block Wednesday mornings for project work. This means that when I plan for the week, the majority of my project tasks will be scheduled for Wednesday.  The important thing is you do not add too many categories. The less, the better. To give you a benchmark, I have eight categories. Mine are: Writing Audio/visual Clients Projects Communications Admin Planning Chores It can be difficult to establish your categories at first, and the temptation will be to add more categories than you need. This is a mistake because very soon, you will have too many categories, which slows down your processing.  If you're familiar with COD (and if you are not, you can take the free course—the link is in the show notes), the purpose of Organising is to get everything in the right place as quickly as possible. If you have too many categories, it will slow you down and involve far too many choices. You may experience the paradox of choice, where too much choice paralyses your thinking.  So, what are your categories? Well, you will likely have communications and admin. We all have to communicate, and email and Teams/Slack are pernicious and never-ending. Having some time protected each day to deal with your communications will keep you on top of these and prevent you from being overwhelmed.  And there will always be bits of admin to deal with. Requests from HR, banking, filing, and expenses to process etc. You may not need a great deal of time for admin each day, but it's worth protecting thirty minutes or so to stay on top of this.  However, aside from your communications and admin, what other categories do you need? This depends on your core work.  For instance, if you are a journalist, two categories spring to mind: research and writing. This is the core of your employed work and is what you are paid for. If you spend six hours out of an eight-hour working day in Teams or Zoom meetings, that leaves you with just two hours to manage your communications and admin AND do some writing.  No chance. It's not going to happen. Something will have to change if you want to spend more time doing what you are employed to do.  One way to do that is to ensure before the week begins, you have enough time to meet your core work objectives. That comes first. After that, you will see how much time you have left for meetings.  Simple, yes. To put into practice, perhaps a lot more difficult. But it's one of those important adjustments worth working on.  This means, if you were a journalist, you would have your writing and research categories blocked in your calendar before the week begins.  Now, in your case, José, you mentioned how to determine what type a task is. I would see any task that comes from a customer or client as something more than admin unless it was updating a customer relationship manager or a spreadsheet—which would be admin.  If a client requests a copy of an invoice or receipt, I would categorise that as client work. It's important because it's a request from a client. It might be small to you, but your client may need that invoice or receipt urgently. (Remember, not everyone is as efficient as you are.)  It's also a quick win for you, as a task like this would be a quick task.  Consulting is an interesting category. That perhaps is something you do as part of your client work. For example, I don't consider my coaching work a separate category. Coaching is relatively straightforward as I am with the client. It's an appointment on my calendar. The resulting feedback I write for the client comes under the category “Writing” - As I have four or five coaching appointments per day, this means I have four or five feedback reports to write each day. Hence, I have a writing block on my calendar most days.  Similarly, with sales, is that a category of task, or is it an appointment with clients? Sales activity may be prospecting, writing proposals or following up with clients (although that could be under the category of communications)  Now, this leads me to an important aspect of this. You do not need to be absolute here. What matters is that the work gets done. Whether something is categorised as communications or sales activity doesn't really matter. What matters is that the task gets done when you intend it to happen.  There inevitably will be some grey areas. You could say that writing feedback for my coaching clients is a communication task—after all, it involves writing to the client. However, I chose to categorise the task as a writing task.  And that's important. I chose to categorise it that way, and I am consistent with it.  Perhaps in your consultancy work, José, you prepare reports for your clients. How would you categorise writing those reports? Is it writing, or is it client work? How you categorise it doesn't really matter as long as you are consistent with your categorising.  Why go to the trouble of categorising your work in the first place? Well, doing so helps you to prioritise your work more effectively. For instance, as a consultant, your top priority each day could be your client's work. When you begin the day, and you see three tasks related to client work, you know, without any further planning, that those three tasks will be your priority for the day.  Likewise, chores could be low-priority tasks for you, in which case you can decide whether you will call the bank at lunchtime or leave it until later in the week.  Categorising your work is another way to automate the decision-making process. Having to decide what to do based on a long list of potential things to do overwhelms you and leaves you exhausted at the end of the day. By pre-determining what your core work is—the work that is important as opposed to work that feels important but, in reality, is disguised low-value busy work. At the heart of this method is pre-determining what is important and what is not. Only experience will tell you this to any accurate degree, and there will always be some grey areas. Fortunately, with experience, these instances of grey areas will reduce.  If you are moving away from trying to decide what to do from a long list of tasks each day, moving to a categorised list will be uncomfortable at first. You will make mistakes and miscategorise tasks. That's fine. It's certainly nothing to worry about. It's by making mistakes you will learn for the next time.  And, I should mention, you will never be perfect. There are too many different types of tasks coming at us each day that may defy a category. The important thing is not to worry too much about these. They will be rare, but will happen.  So, if you are new to the idea of categorising your tasks, the way to set this up is to create tags or labels in your task manager for the types of tasks you generally get. Try to avoid being too specific. Your tasks are specific—for instance, “call Jenny about next week's board meeting” would come under your category communications. Likewise, your follow-ups would be communications too.  It's also a good idea to keep these labels or tags to a minimum. The more you have, the slower you will be.  Once you have your tags set up, you then create time blocks in your calendar for working on those types of tasks. So, in my case, I have an hour each day set aside for communications. This means when my communication time comes up, I only need to see my list of communications for that day. Nothing else matters for the next hour. I know if I stick with this each day, I will never have a backlog or be overwhelmed, even if, on some days, I am unable to clear them all.  All this ultimately comes back to defining your role at work. Most of us are pretty clear about our roles in our personal lives (e.g., mother/father, son/daughter, community member, etc.). It's our work roles that we struggle with.  Giving yourself some time to think about your roles will help you to develop the right categories for your work, and that, in turn, will help you to organise your task list so it works for you rather than be a source of stress and overwhelm.  I hope that has helped, José. Thank you for sending in your question.  And thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

Recently, I've been focusing a lot more on the psychology behind morality and what makes humans do “right” and “wrong” behaviours. A part of our morality is how we divide people up into different categories based on our relationship to them. This is a fascinating area of social psychology that I highly recommend you listen to today because you'll definitely learn a lot and you'll be thinking for sure. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you'll see the four types of different relationships people have, what these relationships involve and most importantly, how do these relationships impact moral dilemmas. If you enjoy learning about social relationships, decision-making and morality then you'll love today's episode. In the psychology news section, you'll learn why Long COVID is important for psychologists to understand, what are the effects of cannabis on exercise, and whether Twitter is negative for mental wellbeing?

Coach James Shorty discusses strategies for managing overwhelm and anxiety, particularly after returning from holidays or breaks. He emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing these feelings to maintain confidence and momentum in achieving goals. He shares a client story to illustrate the seven steps he recommends for dealing with overwhelm and anxiety. The steps include: 1) Taking a physical break by going for a walk, 2) Focusing on breathing to calm the mind, 3) Conducting a brain dump to externalise thoughts, 4) Categorising tasks to bring clarity, 5) Prioritising tasks to identify the most important, 6) Selecting the top three priorities to focus on, and 7) Taking action on those priorities. By following these steps, individuals can transition from feelings of overwhelm and anxiety to confidence and momentum in their tasks and goals. #stressrelief #overwhelm #anxiety #mentalhealth

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: List of how people have become more hard-working, published by Chi on September 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I've recently asked how people have become more hard-working. I compiled the answers across the EA Forum and LessWrong (and some private messages) in a list for myself to make it easier for me to experiment with the suggestions. I thought I'd share the list here in case it's useful for anyone else. I also list the things that people said didn't work and a couple of other things. This wasn't done to be "proper", so the list is sloppy in many ways: I liberally paraphrased what people said; often I could have easily counted something two people said as the same or two different things, which would change the way I counted how often something was mentioned; I very roughly grouped the things that were said into categories but easily could have categorised many things differently. Notable points Individual points that were mentioned the most: (Soft) accountability (deadlines, beeminder, accountability buddy, posting about your goals, boss as a service, promising friends) (9) Working on interesting problems/enjoyable work (and in an enjoyable work environment) (8) Focusmate/Coworking (often poms) (7) Some things that weren't mentioned a lot but that I found interesting: Identifying (or being thought of) as hard-working (3) Categorising work as "not work" and instead as something enjoyable, adjusting work environment accordingly (1) Other things Age at the time of the shift in hard-workingnesswas usually not mentioned, but when it was mentioned, it was between 20-30 Some people managed to become permanently more hard-working after experiencing one period of working hard, even when they switched to less enjoyable or just very different work.

Professionals and business owners are bound to encounter roadblocks and obstacles during their entrepreneurial journeys. While it is impossible to completely avoid these challenges, we have the power to dictate our response. Developing resilience and adopting a systematic approach are crucial in transforming roadblocks into stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks. This enables us to navigate the path to success with grace and determination.In this episode of the Truest Fan Blueprint, hosts Rob Brown and Phil Calandra discuss the inevitability of life's roadblocks and how to overcome them.When we encounter an obstacle, our natural reaction may be to barrel straight through it without much thought. However, as we gain experience and wisdom, we learn that taking a step back to assess the situation often leads to better solutions. Not every roadblock needs to be confronted head-on at the moment.In this week's episode, Rob and Phil shed light on the following crucial topics:Navigating Inevitable Roadblocks: Strategies for SuccessHarnessing a Positive Mindset: A Key to Overcoming RoadblocksThriving Amidst Uncontrollable RoadblocksGradual Triumph: Addressing Roadblocks One by OneWith the right mindset and systems, you can turn obstacles into catalysts for innovation and improvement.

Antariksh Matters #1: Dual-use Dilemmas in the OEWG on Space Threats— Pranav R SatyanathThe first session of the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) on Reducing Space Threats was held last week between the 9th and 13th of May in Geneva. The OEWG was created under the requirement of the United Nations Resolution 75/36 which called on member states to exchange views on norms, threats and behaviours in outer space.Deliberations on matters of space security are not new. They’ve been taking place under the framework of the Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS), with countries divided between two broad themes: first, whether to regulate space capabilities or to regulate space activities; and second, whether to negotiate legally-binding treaties or whether to agree on non legally binding transparency and confidence-building measures.The latest set of deliberations have attempted to focus on the norms, principles and behavioural guidelines that can be established in order to make space a secure environment for all countries. However, since space capabilities and space activities carried out by countries are intrinsically linked, and since space assets have both civilian and military applications, any attempt to regulate space activities will have both direct and indirect consequences on the interpretation of international law. The dilemma of dual-use capabilities, was highlighted in a presentation made by David Koplow of Georgetown University, who pointed to the intersection of dual-use capabilities in space and the Law of Armed Conflict (LoAC). Koplow argues that by making it harder to distinguish civilian and military assets in space, countries may be violating a vital tenet of the LoAC. During an armed conflict, any asset of a country used for military purposes can be targeted by the adversary. Therefore, countries must separate their civilian and military assets to the greatest extent possible.Making this distinction in practice is, however, a challenge as countries regularly use civilian assets for carrying out military activities. For example, civilian rockets are used to launch military satellites and the Global Positioning System (GPS) and similar systems are used for both civilian and military purposes. Some countries also use commercial Earth-imaging services for gathering intelligence on an adversary's military capabilities, making them potential targets during a conflict.One possible solution to this problem was suggested by Almudena Azcárate Ortega, a researcher at the United Nations Institute of Disarmament Research (UNIDIR). Ortega proposed that countries could choose to distinguish their space capabilities into two categories:Dual-use assets: Space capabilities that are designed to perform both civilian and military functions. GPS satellites and similar systems fall into this category.Dual-capable assets: Space capabilities that perform civilian functions but that can be repurposed for military functions. Satellites used for debris removal or on-orbit servicing fall into this category.Categorising space assets as dual-use or dual-purpose may indeed serve useful. However, some capabilities are more difficult to distinguish than others. For example, it is reported that  Ukrainian forces are using Starlink satellites for assisting in drone strikes in Russia. Starlink is a space-based Internet service provided by the American company SpaceX. It is alleged that Russia attempted to cyberattacks on Starlink in order to prevent its use by Ukrainian forces.As dual-use space technologies proliferate to more countries, the need for regulating both capabilities and activity will likely become a greater challenge for the international community.Cyberpolitik: China's Position in OEWG (2021-2025) on Information Security— Megha PardhiBetween 28 March and 1 April 2022, the UN held the second substantive session of the "Open-ended Working Group on the Security of and the use of Information and Communications Technologies" (OEWG (2021-2025)). This is the second such working group constituted by the UN on information security. The OEWG (2021-2025) was formed in Nov 2020 and commenced in 2021. The final report of the working group will be presented to the UN General Assembly in 2025.These working groups are the international community's attempts to shape norms governing cyberspace. Developing norms of behavior in cyberspace has been a contested issue for a long time. Russia was among the first countries to propose rules and norms on cyberspace. However, early attempts fell prey to geopolitical tug of war.In the recently concluded session, many countries have put out statements expressing their position, suggestions, and concerns. In the statement released by the Chinese delegation, the Chinese government seems more worried about cyberspace norms being used against China or basically whoever does not fit into the US' definition of acceptability. The Chinese delegation made four key points:Maintaining peace in cyberspace is crucial. The division of cyberspace into peaceful and non-peaceful periods would send the wrong signal to the international community.Security of cyberspace is necessary for all countries. The statement also has the usual rhetoric of abandoning 'Zero-sum thinking' and 'cold war' mentality.First mover advantage in cyberspace should not be weaponized. China objected to the use of unilateral sanctions and weaponizing the first-mover advantage 'some countries' have over others.The Chinese statement reflected that some countries are creating "deliberately creating closed, exclusive circles for discussing supply chain issues."Objections over the division of activities in the peaceful and non-peaceful periods are understandable. Activities in cyberspace tend to intersect personal and state matters. Wars often blur this distinction. However, normalizing such division in cyberspace might set a dangerous precedent for the norms of behavior in cyberspace.There is a veiled reference to the Quad in the statement. The reference to "closed, exclusive circles for discussing supply chain issues" is similar to the terminology used when Chinese leaders and foreign ministry spokespersons talk about Quad and AUKUS. This again reflects the fact that the Quad and AUKUS have got Beijing worried about similar groupings emerging in cyberspace. Beijing's fear of isolation might seem contradictory as China's own 'Great Firewall' has strived to separate Chinese cyberspace from the world. However, there is a difference between choosing to stay isolated and being forced to isolate. Currently, Beijing decides the rules of operation in China's cyberspace. If states form an alliance to isolate China in cyberspace, the rules would be different. The Chinese government understands it could be detrimental to China's long-term interests.Additionally, the point of reference to the Quad and AUKUS is not just Beijing's fear of isolation. These references and the complaints of a 'cold war' mentality also mean China is trying to project itself as a norms follower while projecting others as 'arm twisting' bullies trying to get their own way. This is most evident in the fourth point of China's statement which roughly says, "this makes people doubt that the real goal of some countries participating in the UN information security process is to build 'international rules of cyberspace that other countries abide by, but they are above all countries’" (这令人不得不怀疑，某些国家参与联合国信息安全进程的真实目标是，构建 "其他各国都遵守，而其自身则凌驾于各国的网络空间国际规则").The war in Ukraine also loomed over the second session of the OEWG (2021-2025). Some states expressed concerns over the way Ukraine War will shape behavior in cyberspace and objections and statements over cyber activities during the war. China's objection to the use of unilateral sanctions and weaponizing first-mover advantage by 'some countries' most likely refers to the sanctions imposed by US and allies on Russia. Again, Chinese leaders have used similar terminology to express their displeasure over sanctions on Russia.Antariksh Matters #2: How Adversaries Might Challenge India’s Use of Space— Aditya RamanathanSceptics sometimes ask me how, in fact, India’s space assets could be threatened in the future and what forms such threats could take. It’s true that it’s hard to envisage what such attacks might look like. Our understanding of space warfare is limited by a merciful lack of precedence. Limited as our understanding may be, it’s worth trying to think of the conditions under which India’s chief adversaries, China and Pakistan, might use space warfare capabilities against it. Broadly, India could face space warfare under three types of circumstances: peacetime (meaning the absence of unusual tensions), crisis (a spike in tensions and/or standoffs, skirmishes) or conflict (a state of violent hostilities in one or more theatres).In the table below, I attempt to map the tools of space warfare to the circumstances India is likely to face.Peacetime In peacetime, adversaries will focus on demonstrating capabilities, probing defences, mounting disruptive cyber attacks, and infiltrating computer worms and viruses. Demonstrations of capabilities can help an adversary deter future threats. These could include ‘dazzling’ satellites with lasers, electronic jamming or spoofing, or conducting non-kinetic rendezvous and proximity operations around a satellite.CrisesIn crises, adversaries will primarily want to signal not just the existence of a capability but also the resolve to use it imminently if its demands are not met. Therefore, while an RPO craft circling around a satellite in peacetime is mainly a demonstration of capability, in a crisis, it is a coercive act meant to shape the outcomes of high stakes bargaining. ConflictIn conflict, the tools of space warfare will most likely be used for effect – to actively deny the use of space and consequently degrade the effectiveness of the adversary’s Earth-based forces. An adversary could strike in six ways during a conflict: A splendid first strike could deny India the effective use of space. Such a strike, usually carried out at the outset of a conflict (the frequently discussed ‘space Pearl Harbor’), would probably be part of a broader plan to degrade Indian forces with simultaneous strikes in space and on Earth. A graduated response would involve managing an exchange of blows and seeking to end it on favourable terms. This would entail targeting specific space capabilities in retaliation and attempting to dissuade the other side from further action.A focused strike targets specific capabilities for a finite set of time in a bid to degrade specific Earth-based capabilities. An Indian strike on Chinese ISR satellites over the Indian Ocean is an example of such a strike.Disruptive strikes create uncertainty about the reliability of space assets. These are low grade, seemingly random strikes that force the state under attack to continually react rather than seize the initiative.Disproportionate retaliation occurs in response to a smaller strike and is meant to dissuade the adversary from launching further attacks. Disproportionate retaliation must remain partial or temporary to provide the adversary an incentive to halt space warfare.A catalytic strike seeks to precipitate third party intervention in a conflict and force its termination on the best terms available. The American political scientist Vipin Narang  argues that Pakistan has, in the past, used the catalytic threat of nuclear strikes to hasten American intervention in crises with India. A kinetic attack from a future Pakistani ASAT missile could catalyse frantic calls for ending a conflict that is tilting in India’s favour.To be clear, none of these types of strikes falls into discrete or self-contained categories. A focused strike can lead to a graduated response, which can, in turn, devolve into disruptive strikes or escalate into disproportionate retaliation. These categories are simply meant to clarify the likely intent behind the waging of space warfare. There are reasons for the aforementioned sceptics to be, well, sceptical about the value of an exercise such as this. In the real world, any target state would find it difficult to accurately gauge an adversary’s intentions while an attack is underway. Also, future contingencies are likely to take unexpected forms and contain surprises. However, the value of this sort of undertaking is that it can (a) help clarify the sort of situations that can trigger an attack on space assets, (b) provide clarity on the sort of challenges India will need to deter in the coming years. As the much-used adage goes, plans are useless but planning is indispensable.Siliconpolitik: The Transatlantic Semiconductor Alliance in the Making— Pranay Kotasthane(First published on takshashila.org.in)Over the last couple of years, we have consistently argued that in order to make the semiconductor supply chain resilient, plurilateral cooperation is a necessity, not a choice. Subsidising semiconductor firms in the hope of achieving national self-sufficiency is counterproductive and futile. Futile in the limited sense that such measures won’t achieve the aim of full indigenisation. Counterproductive because a sole focus on domestic subsidies would displace the opportunity to really make a resilient, China-independent, cutting-edge semiconductor supply chain.Nevertheless, as it so often happens, subsidies are an easier policy option. This pro-business instrument—as against a pro-market one—also suits semiconductor firms better. Subsidies finance their heavy capital investments in the short term. And so, we had a number of national governments—the US, the EU, Japan, South Korea, China, India, and Taiwan to name a few—launch their own versions of semiconductor subsidy programmes.However, it does seem that the tide is now turning from a public and foreign policy perspective. Apart from subsidies, governments are now realising the value of coordinating their efforts. In an earlier post, I had discussed a reported semiconductor alliance involving the US, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Although we haven’t heard about this grouping since then, there is now a new grouping that we need to take note of.The US and EU announced a new initiative on similar lines as part of the US-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC) that concluded in Paris on Monday, 16th May. The detailed joint statement shows that the scope of this transatlantic partnership on technology is vast. Initiatives were announced on areas as diverse as solar supply chains, climate and cleantech, rare earth materials, technology standards and semiconductors. For this post, let’s focus on understanding what the announcements on semiconductors mean to the US, the EU, and India.The Transatlantic Approach for SemiconductorsAs part of the initiative, the two parties agreed on two key areas:That the US and the EU will coordinate their respective chip investments so that it doesn’t end up being a ‘subsidy race’ to the bottom. In practice, this means that the US and EU are likely to share information with each other on their planned fab investments, the companies they plan to target, and so on. In ideal circumstances, they would like to reach a stage where the EU has enough production capacity for automotive chips, while the US invests in production capacity for leading-edge nodes. In the future, the two partners would also want to agree on preferential treatment for their own fabless companies to access the fabs in each other’s national jurisdiction. For now, they have agreed on consulting each other on subsidies for semiconductor firms.The two partners also agreed to develop an early warning detection system for supply chain disruptions. A similar announcement was also made as part of the Quad Semiconductor Supply Chain initiative during the last Summit meeting, where the four members agreed to “map capacity, identify vulnerabilities, and bolster supply-chain security for semiconductors and their vital components.” The motivation for this initiative is to keep a closer eye on wafer capacities across the globe so that stockpiling or additional capacity addition can be coordinated.Both the moves indicate the willingness to collaborate with partners instead of going it all alone.The India AngleThese moves are consequential for India. Apart from the US, the EU has a Trade and Technology Council arrangement with just one other nation-state—India. India should use this arrangement and become a part of this semiconductor supply chain alliance. There’s also the opportunity to combine the US-EU effort with the Quad’s Semiconductor Supply Chain Initiative, as the goals of the two mechanisms are identical.With these new semiconductor alliances taking shape, it’s important for India to become a part of these formations. Foreign Policy in the Information Age needs to go beyond the traditional defensive approach of ‘protecting’ one’s critical technologies and instead become a key driver for enhancing India’s high-tech power.Our Reading Menu[Article] Why Drones Have Not Revolutionized War: The Enduring Hider-Finder Competition in Air Warfare by Antonio Calcara, Andrea Gilli, Mauro Gilli, Raffaele Marchetti, Ivan Zaccagnini[Book] The Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence by Kate Crawford This is a public episode.

The outbreak of Covid-19 sparked a transformation in monetary policy, according to Professor Russell Napier, with governments now effectively controlling money supply. Combine this with a decoupling between the West and China and Napier thinks investors must brace for a period of prolonged inflation. In this interview, Napier tells the IC's Mary McDougall what a new era of financial repression might mean for investors, why he thinks China is not investable and where he thinks the best value is in equity markets. He also explains why he thinks it's time to invest with active fund managers over index funds and what he thinks are the most common mistakes that private investors make. Napier is a consultant, investor, historian, writer and Honorary Professor at both Heriot-Watt University and The University of Stirling.

We explore the idea of quantifying and categorising personality traits and how we would interact with the objective inverse of our personality. We also think about whether this quantification is a bad thing, whether it's already happening and whether it's inevitable considering our ever-increasing interaction with technology and AI. In Shower Thoughts we overthink those random questions and life-changing thoughts we frequently have in the shower and maybe come to a conclusion, all in a casual conversation. --- Enjoyed the episode?Please consider leaving us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

John Muller is author of the “Space Space Space” newsletter; a weekly publication musing about data and tactical analysis within football.

Vicky is Managing Director of The Humane League UK . She trained as a vet and worked in the animal agriculture industry before leaving to focus on campaigning for non-human animals. In these Sentientist Conversations, we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what matters?” Full show notes and links here. This conversation is also available here on our Sentientism YouTube Channel. Why not subscribe there too? We discuss: - Feeling an early affinity with animals, volunteering at animal sanctuaries at 10 years old, always wanting to be a vet - Training as a vet, seeing the reality of animal farming & feeling helpless. How vets are caught up in the machinery of the industry - How broken animal agriculture is & how much suffering is caused - Leaving to advocate for animals, with CIFW then Humane League UK - Driving institutional change. Working with companies to reduce the animal suffering they cause at scale - The relief of meeting others that take sentience & suffering seriously - Questioning then leaving Christianity as a teenager & the death of a close family member as a turning point - Finding comfort in naturalism. “We have our time & then it passes” - Naturalistic wonder, awe, meaning & a sense of connection, enhanced through a silent meditation retreat (vs. “spirituality”) - Suffering/flourishing of others as the foundation of morality - Meditation as a practice of focusing on our own sentient experience and feeling gratitude - Relativism & supernatural ethics are arbitrary vs. grounding ethics in a naturalistic understanding of sentience - Going vegetarian (despite challenges from parents re: nutrition) - The shock of watching an artificial insemination unit operate - Fighting cognitive dissonance on the way to going vegan + how much it helps to have others around you to help ease the transition - Visiting Ghana as an eye opener re: global development & the history of colonialism - Considering the ethical impacts of our personal consumption - Cognitive dissonance as a way of protecting ourselves given the scale of suffering. Avoiding burn-out - The Diving Bell & the Butterfly - Taking the perspective of others, rather than just imposing your own assumptions - Wild-animal suffering & flourishing. Nature programmes as “snuff movies” - Categorising an animal as “farmed” or “wild” doesn’t reduce the animals’ experience of its own suffering - Red vs. grey squirrels - Not knowing how to help doesn’t warrant excluding beings from our moral circle - Culling as the default for human intervention in the wild - Ending animal farming as an obvious win-win-win - Important problems are often the easiest (e.g. end animal farming) - Animal farming change is happening fast now (e.g. ending cages) & consumer consciousness is shifting - Veganism getting less “weird”, approaching a tipping point? - Concern for species is mostly about human interests - Economic & social drivers slowing change - “Lesser developed countries” leap-frogging past the mistakes made by “more developed countries” on both climate & animal agriculture, because of more compassionate values and more radical innovation - While you’re participating in something, it’s hard to think clearly about its ethics - Freeing our latent morality! - A more socialist future?

On this week's episode, we have special guest, Esi Hardy – Founder, Owner and Managing Director of Celebrating Disability.   Esi is a trainer, disability inclusion expert, public speaker, podcaster and writer. We draw parallels between Esi's previous career as an actor and the roles she was often “typecast” into, and how as professionals seeking employment or working in the corporate environment, we are often being typecast or offered roles based on an "identity" we have been given, not taking into account, that human beings can occupy more than one identity.    We also discuss, with the shift to more virtual events, how event organisers need to work harder to ensure their events are accessible.   Whether the event is IRL, Hybrid or Virtual, we can't be truly inclusive if we are not accessible!  Some brilliant insights and advice in this episode, be sure to listen in full.

The one about identity politics on a daily. (Remember to subscribe to the podcast on the app you're using right now so you don't miss out on when we drop new episodes. Make sure you also rate or leave a review on the podcast. Better ratings mean even more people find out about the podcast.) ... Us vs Them Men vs Women White vs Blacks Liberals vs Conservatives Pro-Choice vs Pro-Life... etc. vs etc.   There is a growing concern for us about how we each see the world nowadays. We've been thinking, do we judge people as individuals or do we judge them by the group they're affiliated with? Do we judge others based on how they look, the politicians they voted for, or do we judge them by their thoughts, reasoning, and logic? Do we rush to assume a lack of deeper understanding when we run into atheists or do we claim some form of superior intelligence when we encounter theists? How about when we meet someone who is Black? White? Asian? conservative? liberal? Do we assume we know the kinds of people they are based on a collective? or do we seek to understand each person's story? ... Often we forget that people are much more than societal labels. We become guilty of prejudice, not giving enough credence to the stories beneath the surface. So on this final episode of our second season, we explored and shared our thoughts around identity politics and its effect on how we relate with the world today.   (You can follow 20s Convos on Instagram to join the conversation! We put out quotes, polls, and clips from each episode every week.)   Key Timestamps [01:54] - Categorising our group identities [12:37] - Digging deep into the concept of diversity [28:36] - When can identity politics be good or bad? [32:32] - Thoughts on people getting more fragile and easily offended [50:07] - The state of the world today 

The old business model of “You’re at x level of 4 steps in your business journey” is an old and broken business ethos and you need to avoid it. Simply put, this mentality of being told, (and believing) that you have 4-5 steps of a business model is an outdated approach to business growth and will only serve to slow you down and impact your ability to grow. Trying to make people believe that business has 4-5 steps in a triangular shape, only leaves you being placed into a box…a category…and fuels you to feel like you then need more help in your journey ahead. It’s an old way of thinking that was left behind, well before the GFC more than 10yrs ago. Here’s why the worst thing you can do in your business right now, is to allow yourself to be placed at a particular “level” of business and why if you want to grow and scale and have more impact, you should walk away from anything that forces you to behave in a triangular model of business growth.

Dr. Ali Ibrahim is training in Child and Adolescent psychiatry in London with an interest in eating disorders, and Dr. Agnes Ayton is a consultant psychiatrist in eating disorders in Oxford. We talk about: The Western diet - a blind spot in eating disorder research Prevalence of eating disorders has increased Dietary and lifestyle approaches to eating disorders Mythbusting: 1) Variety is about nutrition rather than type of food 2) High eating frequency isn't necessarily required 3) The difference between fasting and starvation Disordered eating is a spectrum that many more are on than are officially diagnosed. Change of eating disorder prevalence and type from small number with anorexia to more with that, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Up to 6% now with diagnosis, but many more with disordered eating. Food environment change over last 50 years is prime suspect Very few descriptions (going back to 1689) of anorexia nervosa, explosion in the late 20th century of binge eating disorders Disordered eating through lens of evolutionary sexual competition (women showing bodies on social media and comparison driving disordered eating) Lack of seasonality in modern food environment driving disordered eating Carbs and fats artificially combined all year round driving disordered eating, like we are eating fruit and nuts together by several species fattening up Omega 6 to omega 3 fat ratio Negative linoleic acid impact on gut health, metabolic health, and eating habits Food type discussion a good thing in treating disordered eating Categorising food as better or worse is important and not to be avoided NOVA food classification - how industrially processed a food is Complex mechanisms for UPFs driving disordered eating Sugar, veg oils, and trans fats all drive the issue Novel multiple chemical ingredients “Diet” products often badly backfire Ultra-processed foods are not metabolically inert No evidence of someone who's obese or has T2D going on low carb diet and developing an eating disorder Body image on social media vs food environment People binge 100% on ultra-processed-processed foods Breastfed babies stop eating before gaining weight compared to bottle fed Agnes can be found at: Twitter - https://twitter.com/AgnesAyton Ally can be found at: Twitter - https://twitter.com/paleocanteen Twitter - https://twitter.com/paleoally Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/paleocanteen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/AllyHouston

If you want to have a successful podiatry business and balanced life you need to learn how to Work Smarter, Not Harder and on this episode UK Podiatrist Jonathan Small, from Southam, Warwickshire explains what this exactly means.  Jonathan is living proof you do not need to have a multi-location business with a large team to be a successful podiatrist; you can achieve high levels of success with a single location in a relatively small town if you set things up correctly.  On this episode we discuss: Building entrepreneurial skills over time Specialist clinics and the future of podiatry  Why he chose to live in Southam, Warwickshire Working for the NHS and starting his own part-time business on the side Regular income versus the risk of business ownership, but also the rewards University does not teach you to run a business Why marketing is essential, and it's up to us to change the way people view our profession The importance of repeating your marketing message, not just to patients, but also to your professional referrers.  Why changing your thinking towards treating your patient will benefit you and assist in building a thriving business Patients you help get out of pain will become your best referral source Every treatment should be an education session for the patient It's hard to build a business is you're booked out six weeks in advance and cannot fit in new patients.  Why new patients make work more engaging "It's important for patients to know, like and trust you and you do this with repetition". Jonathan Small currently runs one and two-day workshops called Work Smarter, Not Harder, which he runs with Tony Gavin (Episode 002) and OSGO.  LEVEL 1 has four sections: Increasing Your Income Improving Your Efficiency Reducing Your Costs Planning For The Future LEVEL 2: Is based on the psychology of owning a podiatry business and the mindset required to make it a success.  "Every business will have A, B, C, and D patients and it's important to limit your exposure to C's and D's".  Categorising patients from A to D is essential, but you must do the same in all areas of your life. You will face C and D referrers, forums and social media pages, and other podiatrists, so avoid them when you can and be inspired by the A's and B's in your life.  Jonathan and I will both be speaking at this year's Foot and Ankle Show, 11-12 October 2019 at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre.  If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can contact Jonathan Small at Health First Foot & Gait Clinic.  Podiatry Legends Facebook Page Podiatry Legends Podcast now has a Facebook page, If you want to keep up to date and informed, please LIKE the Podiatry Legends Facebook Page.  iTunes Reviews If you enjoyed this podcast, it would put a massive smile on my face if you left a review on iTunes or your favourite podcast platform.  Remember iTunes podcasts are FREE.   Most Recent Review from Great Britain  Wonderful Podcast ☆☆☆☆☆ “Thank you Tyson for this fantastic forum, the sharing and growing of our profession is long overdue ....we are the gatekeepers of FEET, no one else in the healthcare profession nails foot treatment like Pods. Your podcasts are fun and very informative.
