Is origin of life research going round in circles? This is ID the Future, a podcast that isn't afraid to tackle the big questions about evolution and intelligent design. Today, host Eric Anderson chats with physicist Dr. Brian Miller about circular reasoning and other problems in origin of life research. They discuss the work of Stephen Meyer and James Tour, highlighting the information problem and the difficulties in natural chemical synthesis of life's building blocks. Miller analyzes a new paper on the supposed order of amino acid recruitment into the genetic code, critiquing its underlying circular reasoning. Dr. Miller also explains the concept of causal circularity in biological systems and reveals why intelligent design provides a better explanation for the origin of life than an unguided evolutionary scenario.

This week: Sebastian Munden, chair of environmental NGO WRAP, talks with Ian Welsh about the potential of circular plastics and how innovative design can significantly reduce plastic waste. They share insight about the role of regulatory frameworks in shaping sustainable packaging strategies and the need for a radical shift in consumer behaviour to truly drive change. Plus: UK faces surge in plastic bag waste; historic drought threatens global food security; US farmers suffer $20 billion in losses; US funding cuts threaten global conservation efforts; and, Dutch NGO sues ING over climate inaction, in the news digest. Host: Ellen Atiyah

Willemijn Peeters, CEO and founder of Searious Business, talks with Ian Welsh about the evolving landscape of sustainable packaging. They discuss how major brands and retailers can transition to environmentally sustainable packaging solutions that are also financially viable. Willemijn emphasises the importance of a mindset shift towards circular approaches and the role of legislation in driving change.

Fiberdom, a pioneer in wood fiber material innovation, has secured €3.5 million in funding to accelerate the development and scaling of its patented technology and its high-performance, 100% plastic-free material. Fiberdom's mission is to replace non-essential plastics with scalable, circular solutions. Plastic-free, circular material innovations The funding will accelerate Fiberdom's strategic growth with strong investment in research and development and further commercialization of its technology and materials, as well as further strengthening of its core resources. This funding was raised from long-term investor Heino Group together with two new investors, Nordic Foodtech VC, and Holdix Oy, alongside a €0.6M grant from Business Finland. "This substantial investment, especially in today's challenging funding environment, reflects the confidence our investors have in Fiberdom's team and its capabilities, the potential of our supermaterial, technology, and mission. We have tested our material in numerous applications and discovered that it has massive potential," said Tomi Järvenpää, General Manager at Fiberdom. "The commitment from both long-term and new investors underscores the value of what we're building - a future driven by smarter materials that deliver durability and high performance without plastic." Fiberdom has developed a patented process that transforms natural wood fibers into a novel supermaterial that is formable, durable, 100% plastic-free, recyclable, and home-compostable. The company has successfully commercialized its first application, single-use cutlery that complies with the EU's stringent Single-Use Plastics Directive, which is now available through leading Finnish retailers and B2B channels. This market validation demonstrates Fiberdom's commercial readiness as it advances into new high-growth markets. "Replacing single-use plastics in food packaging and in serving and eating on-the-go food is one of the key pain points in the food system, both for the industry and for the consumers. Fiberdom's technology addresses all four critical corners of a winning solution: functionality, scalability, sustainability, and recyclability. We believe the cutlery is a great starting point for much broader innovation in plastic-free products," says Pekka Siivonen-Uotila, partner at Nordic Foodtech VC. Driven by consumer preferences, corporate sustainability commitments, and evolving regulations, there is a growing need for the pulp and paper industry to develop innovative alternatives that enable reliance on plastics to be reduced or even eradicated in non-essential applications. One of the challenges with existing fiber-based solutions is their limited formability and strength when used in demanding applications, often requiring additives that can compromise recyclability. Fiberdom's technology and material address all these issues, enabling companies to replace non-essential plastics across the entire industry, significantly reducing plastic consumption. The demand for plastic-free innovation is skyrocketing, with the global fiber-based packaging market alone projected to surge from $407 billion in 2025 to $567 billion by 2034, driven by increasing demand for plastic-free alternatives and regulatory measures promoting plastic-free materials. "This funding represents a pivotal moment for Fiberdom as we scale our breakthrough technology to address the growing global demand for truly alternative materials," Järvenpää explains. "We've proven our technology works commercially, and now we're ready to transform entire product categories through strategic partnerships with forward-thinking companies. The materials revolution is happening now, and this investment enables us to accelerate our mission of replacing non-essential plastics with superior material alternatives that deliver both environmental and performance benefits," Järvenpää concludes. Founded in 2019, Fiberdom is a Finnish materials innovation company that ha...

Loic Le Fouest is a leading expert in Customer Experience (CX) with a strong track record of driving customer-centric transformation across the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. As the head of the CX practice at Clarasys in the UK, Loic helps organisations design customer experiences that drive loyalty, innovation, and sustainable business growth. Clarasys describes itself as The Experience Consultancy — employee-owned, purpose-driven, and dedicated to helping organisations create better experiences for customers, employees, and the planet. Clarasys recognises that circular economy approaches often require fundamentally different relations between providers and users, and it's keen to understand more about that. In 2022, Loic launched a partnership between Clarasys and the University of Exeter's Centre for the Circular Economy to tackle what they saw as one of the biggest challenges in circularity — customer engagement. This collaboration led to a report and toolkit on Creating Customer Experiences in the Circular Economy, providing businesses with practical strategies to make circular models work for their customers. Loic is an experienced transformation consultant with over 10 years of consulting and industry experience, and he combines design thinking with his background in product management, digital transformation, lean 6-sigma and change management. Loic shares insights from Clarasys' collaboration with the Exeter team, which looked at how businesses were dealing with challenges around user adoption and acceptance across the food and beverage and household appliances sectors. The research team looked at the new aspects of roles, behaviour and relationships for consumers/, and Loic explains some of the key findings around that, including ‘consumption work' and ‘key moments that matter' for customers. The study also found that firms were struggling to launch and scale successful circular business models, and Loic talks about two kinds of approaches to that - ‘inside out' versus ‘outside in'.

This week on the Hemp Show, we talk with global hemp expert and co-founder of the Hemp Plastic Company, Paul Benhaim.  Benhaim takes us on a deep dive into hemp plastics — and why he believes scalability is more important than purity. We'll hear about the company and the process of turning hemp into objects like didgeridoos and car parts. Benhaim has been in the hemp industry for over 30 years, finding early success with a hemp health bar in Europe in the 1990s before moving to Australia where he founded the largest hemp food company in the Southern Hemisphere. Benhaim tells us about a trip to the Himalayas that inspired his research into communities, health, diet and — hemp.  "The science says it's the best thing for humanity and it leads to people being vibrant and healthy," Benhaim says. This experience led Benhaim to write the book "H.E.M.P.: Healthy Eating Made Possible."  Benhaim explains the 'endocannabinoids,' and the endocannabinoid system present in every living mammal.  “Our body is literally made for cannabis, hence the system being called the endocannabinoid system, which until relatively recently was never taught to doctors, never taught in medicine. An entire system was kind of ignored," says Benhaim.

Each participating podcast is dedicating an episode to a cause that truly matters to them, and for us, the choice was clear—the vital role that charities and social enterprises play in the circular economy. In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Michael Cook, CEO of Circular Communities Scotland, an organisation that represents a dynamic network of more than 260 charities and social enterprises dedicated to advancing the circular economy across Scotland. Michael shared invaluable insights into how Circular Communities Scotland supports third-sector organisations in achieving their circularity goals, from facilitating collaboration to advocating for policies that enable sustainable change. He also talked about some of the member organisations, their fascinating projects and initiatives that range from reuse and repair programs to innovative ways of reducing waste and extending the life of products and materials. Michael highlighted the strong connection between environmental and social benefits in the circular economy, explaining how it creates jobs, supports marginalised groups, and helps break down employment barriers.Tune in to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of embedding circular practices into communities across Scotland and how community-led initiatives are creating a more resilient and environmentally responsible society!

"GRIEVING IN THE DOLLS HOUSE"David Johansen passed away peacefully at home on February 28, holding the hands of his wife Mara Hennessey and daughter Leah, in the sunlight surrounded by music and flowers. After a decade of profoundly compromised health he died at the age of 75. David and his family were deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support they've experienced recently as the result of having gone public with their challenges.  He was thankful that he had a chance to be in touch with so many friends and family before he passed. He knew he was ecstatically loved."My mother and I would like to thank everyone for the fathomless love and support you've all shown us since we went public with David's diagnosis.We were able to make the last few weeks of David's life with us as serene and anxiety free as possible. As well as alleviating some of our more pressing material concerns, this campaign did make David feel profoundly connected. He really did feel the love from everyone.For the time being we will leave the fund open to contributions, to continue to pay off the debts accrued during David's long illness.We will share details about memorials and tributes soon. There will be several events celebrating David's life and artistry, details to follow.Thank you so much for the …LUVLove,Leah and Mara"THE GTO'S -"PERMANENT DAMAGE"- THEIR LONE VINYL FOOTPRINT"HARDLY A CHEAP TRICK"These seven young women left a permanent mark upon my perceptions of the feminine equation and artistic desires during what was known as the 60's Summer of Love. So much to ponder about these girls who just wanted to have fun.They left a legacy which when viewed through the lens of  artistic achievement, made them the first female Punk Rockettes.When the testimony is placed under the microscope of human triumph, destiny betrayed them. They were the creation of a time (The 1960's) and a place (Laurel Canyon) where  history tells us that the possibilities of inclusion could make a groupie as appreciated as Joni Mitchell.Frank Zappa knew better.Frank understood the nature of Permanent Damage. The most famous and successful of the GTOs is Miss Pamela, currently Pamela Des Barres, author of the groupie-memoir I'm With The Band. Des Barres's new book, Let's Spend the Night Together, a collection of interviews with fellow rock groupies, was released on July 1, 2007. Miss Mercy's 'biography' was expanded at length within the chapter entitled, "Miss Mercy's Blues". Also within the book, Des Barres notes that Miss Cynderella died in 2007 under mysterious circumstances. Miss Christine died on November 5th, 1972, of an overdose in a hotel room, after spending close to a year in a full body cast to correct her crooked spine. Miss Lucy died of an AIDS-related disease in the early 1990s. During her time as a GTO, Sandra became pregnant by Zappa's resident artist, Calvin Schenkel, and had a daughter named Raven. Miss Sandra later moved back to San Pedro and eventually Italy with her new husband and three children. She died of cancer on April 23, 1991. Miss Sparky is still alive, but not much has been divulged of her post-GTO's endeavours.In Circular Circulation, They Circle Continuously.- Rich Buckland

My guest today is Hermann Vivier, co-founder of The Surfer Kids nonprofit and Bitcoin Ekasi project. Hermann's journey began in 2010 with the dual goals of creating a tourism business and empowering marginalized youth through surfing. Over time, Bitcoin became a critical tool for his initiatives, particularly when geopolitical challenges forced his business to adopt Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. In this episode, Hermann shares how The Surfer Kids nonprofit uses surfing as a vehicle to teach life skills and foster resilience among South African youth, while Bitcoin Ekasi builds a circular economy, paying salaries in Bitcoin and empowering underserved communities to adopt financial sovereignty. From leveraging Bitcoin to navigate failing state systems to inspiring others through grassroots education, Hermann's work highlights the transformative potential of Bitcoin as both a medium of exchange and a tool for societal change. Tune in to learn about the unique challenges of operating in underbanked regions, the importance of using Bitcoin as money, and the power of building circular economies. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

In this episode, Renee Swanson discusses the challenges of dealing with circular conversations with covert narcissists. She explains how these conversations can trap individuals in a cycle of emotional manipulation and coercive control. Renee provides strategies for disengaging from these conversations, setting boundaries, and reclaiming personal space and power. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing unhealthy relationship dynamics and encourages listeners to seek help and support for their healing journey. Takeaways You deserve to be heard and have space. Covert narcissists use circular conversations to manipulate. Resolution is not the goal for covert narcissists. Stopping a circular conversation requires awareness and boundaries. The gray rock method can backfire with narcissists. Use neutral but not cold responses to avoid escalation. Blocking your exit is a form of coercive control. You have the right to feel safe in your own home. Documenting your experiences can help in seeking support. Use calm times to strategize and find resources.

Circular reasoning is normally condemned by philosophers, but in his 1841 essay ‘Circles', Emerson proposes that not getting anywhere is precisely what we need to do to find out where we already are. In this episode, Jonathan and James consider Emerson's use of the circle to demonstrate an idealistic philosophy rooted in the natural world, in which individuals are bounded by self-created horizons, and the extent to which this fits with Transcendentalist notions of progress and independence. They also discuss what his other essays, including ‘Self-Reliance', ‘Art' and ‘Nature', have to say about the importance of thinking one's own thoughts, and why Emerson had such a powerful influence on writers as varied as Nietzsche, Saul Bellow and Louisa May Alcott.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. In this episode, they discuss whether the case for "sola Scriptura" is something that is clear from the teachings of Scripture itself, or whether one has to come at Scripture already having a "sola Scriptura" mindset in order to argue that Scripture teaches "sola Scriptura."
