In this episode, we sit down with London-based cinematographer Jerry Amadi-Pradon, whose eye for visual storytelling was shaped on the sunlit sets of Guadeloupe and sharpened through years behind the camera across Europe and beyond. From painting and photography to the world of moving images, Jerry's path has always followed the light. He began with TV dramas for France Télévisions and has since grown into a bold visual artist with a unique signature.We explore Jerry's transition from assistant to auteur, capturing everything from high-profile commercials for Adidas and Volkswagen to fashion films for designers like Tolu Coker. His work weaves through narrative and documentary forms, always grounded in an emotional truth that carries from scene to scene. With collaborations at production houses like Compulsory and Soho House, Jerry has built a portfolio that speaks for itself.Jerry takes us behind the lens of A Letter to Black Men, a poignant web series adapted from Kiosa Sukami's acclaimed short. In this conversation, he breaks down the visual language he crafted to honor Black identity and vulnerability, and what it meant to help bring that story to a larger audience. His words are as measured as his frames, and the intent behind every choice is unmistakable.More than a cinematographer, Jerry is a storyteller with a painter's patience and a traveler's eye. Join us as we talk about long-form dreams, small moments of magic on set, and the enduring power of an image to move, to question, and to connect.Jerry Amadi-Pradon's Website: https://www.jerrypradon.com/Jerry Amadi-Pradon's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4013190/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkJerry Amadi-Pradon's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerry_amadi_pradon_dop/Jerry Amadi-Pradon's Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/jeysurvimeoJerry Amadi-Pradon's LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-amadi-pradon-a2366a27Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Having argued the other week for compulsory KiwiSaver, it was sort of ironic, but probably lucky, that several reports came out post the comments that wanted the same thing. Then enter Winston who wants it as well, and will pay for it, apparently with tax cuts. Of course the tax cuts are completely unaffordable, but it doesn't make the compulsion a bad idea. I personally am not for compulsion, but it seems the only way to solve our never-ending inability to save. Here is what possibly is the defining argument: a bloke called John O'Malley, who works for Deloitte, has written a paper on creditor and debtor nations. That is when you take all of a country's financial dealings with the world and work out who owes what. Places like Germany and Japan and Switzerland are what they call "creditor nations". They are owed money. The debtor nations owe the money. It will not surprise you that New Zealand is a debtor nation. Australia, which is where the paper originated, is what they call a "switcher nation". In other words, Australia has been a debtor, but the numbers have reversed dramatically. Net foreign liabilities have gone from 63% of GDP in 2016 to 32%, to now 24%. If it keeps going, you're a creditor nation. How have they done this? Well, it's through a number of things because economies are complex, but no small contributor has been superannuation. Former Labor Treasurer Paul Keating introduced compulsion in 1992 from employee and employer, and they have never looked back. Yes, they had the usual arguments – it cuts into pay rises, it's unaffordable, etc. But 30-something years later the proof is in the numbers. We have an average KiwiSaver of $30,000-ish. They have an average of $130,000-ish. Recently, for the first time, they could say a person starting work and working for 40 years on an average salary could look forward to retiring in comfort. So, a problem solved. They don't debate retirement and its cost, and the wealth created makes them on the verge of being a creditor nation, joining the heavyweights like Japan and Germany and Switzerland. So New Zealand or Australia? Who would you rather be?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few nations have shut down homeschooling entirely, and others are about to follow suit.  Parents do not have the choice. This year, at least one state wants to impose a DEI program on homeschoolers. Where did this compulsory attendance law come from, and what is the worldview that requires state control of the children? Before Jean-Jacques Rousseau there was Prussia and Christian Wolfe; and Wolfe lived up to his name. We analyze the Pelagian view of man that infected the lapsed Christians of Germany and America in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

En 1972 Murray N. Rothbard publie « L'éducation gratuite et obligatoire ». Aux Etat-Unis le rôle de l'Etat dans l'éducation fait alors l'objet de débats animés : le homeschooling est en vogue parmi les hippies et cette génération de boomers est décidément sensible à toute forme d'autorité et de contrôle.Cinq décennies plus tard, la faillite de l'Etat dans cette fonction qu'il a monopolisée est sans appel. À défaut d'instruire la population, il l'a crétinisée, homogénéisée dans la médiocrité. L'Etat a exigé et obtenu de professeurs toujours plus désabusés qu'ils renoncent à leur réelle vocation : transmettre à chacun les savoirs fondamentaux pour apprendre et développer un esprit critique tout au long de sa vie. Au lieu de cela l'Etat leur impose de concentrer leurs efforts sur la mission première de l'Education d'Etat : endoctriner, égaliser, contrôler.   Mêlant histoire, économie et philosophie Rothbard nous mène à la racine du problème pour aboutir à ce constat. L'ouvrage d'une centaine de pages est clair, précis, remarquablement documenté. On comprend alors toute la futilité de poursuivre une solution à coup de réformes techniques. Puisque le problème, avant tout structurel, impose de se poser les bonnes questions : précisément celles que L'Etat ne veut pas et ne peut pas aborder. CET ÉPISODESuite et fin de l'examen critique du développement de l'école obligatoire aux Etats-Unis. Rothbard passe à la loupe le mouvement éducationniste et l'essor de l'éducation progressiste. Ainsi, nous découvrons des personnages exaltés, tels Robert Dale Owen et Frances Wright, dont le plan éducatif épouvantable met l'école au service d'un système étatique extrême, imposant aux enfants leur mise sous contrôle de l'État dès l'âge de 2 ans ! Nous observons également comment, méthodiquement, les « éducationnistes » (Horace Mann, Henry Barnard, etc.) en sont venu à prendre les rennes de leur secteur en constituant des organisations, par la diffusion de revues outils de leur propagande, par l'imposition de leurs normes et leur système de certification des enseignants. Et toujours ce même constat accablant : toutes ces mouvances utopistes, aussi bien intentionnées soient-elles, en viennent rapidement à usurper le rôle parental pour aboutir in fine à la suppression de la pensée indépendante.On retrouve Damien Theillier qui vient conclure cette lecture efficacement, ainsi qu'Olivier Ledoit : la conclusion de son essai reprend les enseignement clés de Rothbard et les resitue dans le contexte du système français. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MUSIQUEJ.S.

In this episode, I speak with Alex about his career working with addiction. While there are countless resources for substance-related issues—such as drug, alcohol, and sex addiction—he noticed a striking lack of support when it came to process addictions related to technology use. He shared how he connected with and learned from Dr. Hilarie Cash, founder of reSTART, a pioneering treatment program for technology addiction. Alex discusses his work with parents, helping them implement comprehensive behavioral strategies to support children and adolescents in developing a healthy relationship with technology. In an age where digital exposure is unavoidable and children grow up as digital natives, he explains how we can encourage balance and moderation from an early age to prevent problematic or addictive behaviors from forming. He delves into the unique challenges of treating process or behavioral addictions, which can involve greater complexity than substance-related ones. Alex emphasizes the difficulty of establishing structures that foster intrinsic motivation for self-regulation in children and young adults. He highlights the importance of helping young people connect with their values, become more intentional with their screen time, and take a holistic approach to balance—not just with technology, but across all areas of life. The conversation also explores how parents can coordinate across households to create consistent expectations around technology use and how they can impose meaningful limits even when school-issued laptops have minimal built-in safeguards. Alex concludes by discussing how screen use can become a mechanism for emotional avoidance, which can significantly block personal growth. He underscores the need to prioritize self-care and emotional awareness to prevent this from becoming a long-term negative coping strategy. Alex Basche, LMFT is a psychotherapist based in the SF Bay Area. He works mainly with adolescents and young adults, specializing in the treatment of tech-related behavioral addictions such as gaming, social media, pornography, online gambling & shopping in addition to substance use disorders, as well as frequently co-occurring conditions such as anxiety disorders, ADHD, depressive disorders, OCD, Autism Spectrum, and identity formation issues. In 2017, Alex helped create and found the first in-network Intensive Outpatient Program in the state of California treating technology addiction in adolescents. He has written many therapy groups' curricula and leads trainings and workshops on topics related to Assessment & Treatment for Process Addictions, Parenting in the Digital Age, Adolescent Anxiety & Depression Treatment and more. Alex serves as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on the Mental Health Workgroup Advisory Board for Fairplay's Children's Screentime Action Network and on the Board of Directors for local nonprofit Adolescent Counseling Services. He continues to co-author and present research on digital addictions and related topics.

Election season in Australia is drawing to a close with the re-election of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party. Around 18 million people in the country are eligible to vote, and many of them turned up to the polls as it is a legal obligation to do so. If you fail to turn up, you can face a fine.
