Podcasts about Concentration

Chuck Todd begins with the growing firestorm surrounding President Donad Trump's decision to withhold the Epstein files and why his behavior is only adding to the suspicion. He explains why Epstein is a central figure to the QAnon conspiracy many Trump supporters subscribe to, and why Trump's continued dismissals of a theory he has fed for years will only further fracture his base and prolong the outrage over his broken promise to release all the files.Then, Chuck is joined by formal FTC Chair Lina Khan to reflect on her transformative tenure leading the Federal Trade Commission and the critical battles she fought against corporate monopolization. Khan discusses how the concentration of corporate power today mirrors the early 20th century, exploring whether capitalism itself is failing as tech giants like Google and Amazon wield unprecedented control over commerce, media distribution, and information flow. She delves into the surveillance economy that has emerged from companies monetizing user data, the regulatory challenges posed by AI development, and controversial practices like surveillance pricing and non-compete agreements that trap both consumers and workers.Khan also addresses the structural limitations of the FTC, noting how the agency is too small for its ambitious mission, while highlighting unexpected bipartisan support from the populist right for her antitrust work. The conversation covers her efforts to tackle everything from pharmacy benefit managers and subscription cancellation difficulties to the urgent need for algorithm regulation, particularly for content affecting children. As she prepares to leave the FTC, Khan reflects on the media's focus on markets rather than the broader economy, the ongoing fight for data privacy rights, and the "ferocious pushback" lawmakers face when challenging powerful corporate interests, offering practical advice for consumers seeking to protect their privacy in an increasingly surveilled digital landscape.Finally, Chuck shares his experience of discovering that Google's Gemini AI claims that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease… which is not true. Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:30 Seemed like Trump would fire Jay Powell to distract from Epstein03:30 Markets reacted badly to potential firing of Powell04:15 Trump attacks his own supporters over Epstein06:15 “Hoax” is Trumpspeak for not having a good explanation08:00 Trump's behavior is creating more suspicion11:30 Most Epstein associates probably just looked the other way12:30 The more defiant Trump sounds, the more guilty he looks13:15 Most right wing media has fallen in line behind Trump14:15 Michael Flynn is the pope of QAnon, and is expressing doubts16:45 The central tenet of QAnon is the idea of an elite pedophile cabal18:15 If Trump says it's a hoax, it knocks down the foundational pillar of Qanon19:00 Epstein became the face of the conspiracy20:30 Trump and his associates have fed the conspiracy theorists for years22:00 If they had evidence of crimes, they would have brought charges23:45 This could be the moment Trump supporters finally feel conned25:15 Trump's age is showing, possible health issue they won't disclose28:00 You can't trust any press release the administration puts out29:30 Trump won't get out of the Epstein debacle unscathed31:15 Lina Khan joins the Chuck ToddCast! 32:15 Lina's path to becoming the FTC chair 34:15 Concentration of corporate power is similar to the early 20th century 37:15 Is capitalism failing? 39:00 Large corporations control the distribution of media and information 40:15 Will the consolidation of power destroy the media ecosystem? 42:00 Google and Amazon have enormous power over commerce 43:00 Why are users forced to give up their data in order to use a product? 43:45 Companies monetized by surveilling users 45:15 South Park perfectly parodied the concept of "Terms and Conditions" 46:30 Making the same regulatory mistakes with AI that we did with social media? 47:45 The barrier to entry to starting an AI company is very high 48:45 Collected data is being used for surveillance pricing 49:30 Is the FTC set up to be proactive or reactive? 50:30 Non-compete agreements are being used to trap employees 51:30 The FTC is too small for its mission 52:15 The populist right supported Lina's work at FTC 54:15 Can independent pharmacists survive in this market? 55:45 Why do pharmacy benefit managers exist? 57:30 What cases that she pursued has the FTC continued to ligitage? 59:45 Subscriptions are incredibly difficult to cancel 1:01:00 Companies have made subscriptions their business model 1:03:45 How do you make the public aware of your work at the FTC? 1:06:15 The media covers markets rather than the economy 1:08:30 Who is regulating algorithms? 1:09:45 There's a massive need for regulating algorithms that affect kids 1:11:00 Will we ever get a data "bill of rights" or more individual control over data? 1:12:30 Some data should be off limits for monetization 1:14:00 Apple store's "Ask Not To Track" setting made a positive difference 1:15:00 Younger users are more comfortable with giving up their data 1:16:15 Lawmakers face ferocious pushback and lobbying 1:16:45 Best ways for consumers to protect their privacy 1:18:15 What's next for Lina?1:19:45 Google AI search says Chuck has Parkinson's disease… he doesn't 1:22:45 The AI confused Chuck with a man named Todd in Florida 1:23:45 AI tools have been trained on the garbage saved on the internet 1:24:45 AI still has terrible flaws based on the data it trains on 1:26:15 The dragnet approach to AI can cause people real problems 1:27:30 AI products are half baked when released to the public 1:28:45 Ask Chuck 1:29:15 Why didn't the administration deport criminal migrants already in prison? 1:30:45 Thoughts on 18 year term limits?

It turns out that many of the greatest living Buddhist teachers are also some of the hardest to receive teachings from. Lacking ego, they have no need to promote themselves. This is the case with Scott's closest teacher, Venerable René Feusi. Out of a wish to maintain his solitude and focus on long-term students—and probably mostly out of humility—Venerable René has always declined Scott's invitations to appear on this podcast. But last year he gave a public talk at Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco on the benefits of concentrated awareness. We asked him if we could share it here, and he said yes!So here's Venerable René Feusi on how focused awareness can help us live with joy, not just in formal meditation, but while walking, sipping tea, listening to music, or even playing with your cat.Episode 198: Concentration Makes Us Happy! with Ven. Rene FeusiFrom August 28 to 31, Scott Snibbe is leading an in-person meditation retreat at Vajrapani Institute. We'll explore antidotes to anxiety, fear, and loneliness—and cultivate the deeper causes of a happy mind; connected, loving relationships; and a better world. It all happens in the beautiful redwood forests of California, while enjoying delicious vegetarian meals and meeting thoughtful new friends.SIGN UP NOWSupport the show

Episode Highlights With EmilyHer unique journey into meditation and how it led to her work todayHow she had insomnia and was going grey at 27 before finding meditationWhat makes her method of meditation different and how it gives your body rest that is 5x more effective than sleepInvesting just 2% of your day helps the other 98% be even more amazingThe mind thinks involuntarily, just like the heart beats involuntarily Ziva is based on something 6,000 years old that means “big results based on action barely taken,” and how this helps us reach a fourth state of consciousnessHow meditation can be less about focus and concentration and more about carving out space to be unfocused and avoid focus fatigue that's especially easy for momsThis method helps de-excite the nervous system and create more coherence When you give the body true rest, it knows how to heal itself and sleep is not the only form of rest we haveIf we only have sleep as our method of rest, the body has to use sleep to processThe sleep, immune, fertility, and productivity connectionsWe meditate to get better at life, not to get better at meditationSome tactical tips for making meditation a habit and how to incorporate this as a momResources MentionedHer InstagramZiva Online and Ziva MagicWhy Isn't Everyone Doing This? - Emily's podcastStress Less, Accomplish More: The 15-Minute Meditation Programme for Extraordinary Performance by Emily Fletcher

Don't allow your mind to wander around. 16:21 Having neither joy nor sorrow doesn't sound that interesting.19:05 As you meditate more you can rid of becoming a ruminator.20:01 Is there any other way to settle into the Self, besides effortlessly?21:10 Baba experiences the reverse of what we experience - it's effortless for us to have mental chatter but Babaji's mental state is to be silent.22:02 If you meditate regularly, the mind is a quieter place.23:41 Accepting the results of our actions doesn't mean we can't try to change them.26:23 "You need to understand the futility of actions, as there's nothing to achieve."29:26 Importance of the zoom calls with Babaji which motivate us and inform us of the possibilities, otherwise it would be really difficult.31:18 So what you're saying is that anything you achieve in this world is impermanent, it is not going to bring you peace, so it's really equivalent to nothing.32:33 "Your very nature is Supreme Peace and the rest is unreal."36:50 Important things we can practice during the day to quiet our mind.38:59 If the mind is into imaginations, then you have to do sadhana to achieve silence of the mind.42:48 "By a thought of the mind, you cannot know your real Self. Only by becoming quiet in the mind can you know your real Self...  ...To know the space, you have to become space."45:44 Mind can never give the Truth.46:38 "You can make everything else disappear, but you can't make yourself disappear."48:25 When you start to meditate, after about 40 minutes the mind and body get still, is that the time that the thoughts gets purified?49:44 I always want to cry after a meditation. I find it very frightening when you're all alone.50:47 When memory and time is the material of the mind, can the mind observe without memory and time.51:56 So is supreme peace the ultimate goal of life? Is that what it is?52:45 You mentioned that when your mind is completely quiet, then you dissolve in the consciousness.  What's the process?54:26 We don't really get absorbed into the Self, into the pure consciousness? We are the pure consciousness. Just the illusion that I am a separate being is what ends, right?55:36 Situations happening because they were set in motion by desires long ago or is it happening because that is what the universe wants from me at this point?57:41 Is it possible that everyone has already experienced Self RealizatioRegister your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

In this relaunch of the PBM Reform Podcast, Greg Reybold returns with a powerful and timely conversation exploring how concentrated economic power—particularly in the form of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)—is undermining fair access to prescription medications, driving up drug costs, and crushing independent pharmacies. Greg is joined by Emma Freer, Senior Policy Analyst with the American Economic Liberties Project, a national non-profit and non-partisan organization dedicated to dismantling monopolistic control across critical sectors—including healthcare. Together, they dig deep into how PBMs serve as gatekeepers in the drug supply chain, extracting value at the expense of patients and providers, and how policy reform is urgently needed. Emma outlines how Economic Liberties is driving a new wave of anti-monopoly policy momentum in healthcare by advocating for stronger antitrust enforcement, corporate accountability, and legislative transparency. She highlights how concentrated PBM power not only threatens economic fairness but undermines public health outcomes.

Epilogue: Manjushri's Burden from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner I SET THE CHAIN SAW down on the stump of the tree which I had just felled and sat down on the log to drink from my canteen. It was the very same orange water bag I had purchased to take with me to India two years ago. I looked up through the bare November trees at the sun edging toward the apex of its low autumn arc. Then I looked at the piles of cordwood I'd accumulated along the road during the past months. There would certainly be enough for the stoves before the first snowfall. Satisfied, I picked up my saw and headed back to the house. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 20 minutes 58 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Johann Hari est journaliste et auteur de plusieurs best-sellers, dont Stolen Focus (traduit en français sous le titre On vous vole votre attention). Dans cet épisode en anglais, nous avons parlé ensemble d'un sujet qui nous concerne toutes et tous : la perte de notre capacité de concentration, cet effritement de notre attention auquel nous sommes confrontés au quotidien, sans vraiment comprendre pourquoi ni comment y faire face.Je dois dire que cette conversation m'a profondément marqué. J'ai découvert Johann à travers ses livres, mais surtout à travers sa rigueur journalistique et sa volonté sincère de comprendre les phénomènes qui bouleversent nos vies. Nous partageons cette curiosité commune, cette envie de creuser au-delà des évidences. Et c'est avec une immense joie que je l'ai accueilli dans Vlan pour explorer ce sujet brûlant.Dans cet épisode, je l'ai interrogé sur les causes profondes de notre distraction chronique. Pourquoi avons-nous tant de mal à lire un livre, à rester concentré sur une tâche ou à avoir une conversation profonde ? Est-ce notre faute ? Est-ce une question de volonté ? Ou sommes-nous les victimes d'un système bien plus complexe, bien plus insidieux ?Johann a voyagé à travers le monde, rencontré plus de 250 experts pour comprendre ce qui sabote notre capacité de concentration. Il identifie 12 facteurs majeurs qui nous volent littéralement notre attention : de la manière dont les réseaux sociaux sont conçus pour nous rendre accros, à l'impact du manque de sommeil, de l'alimentation industrielle, de la pollution de l'air, de l'hyperstress… Rien n'est laissé au hasard.Nous avons parlé de son filleul, devenu incapable de vivre sans ses écrans, de l'histoire édifiante d'un séjour à Graceland, et des ingénieurs de la Silicon Valley rongés par la culpabilité. Nous avons abordé les liens entre attention individuelle et attention collective, et donc les conséquences démocratiques de cette crise. Parce que oui, sans attention, il n'y a plus de débat, plus de dialogue, plus de démocratie.Enfin, nous avons exploré des solutions. Des gestes simples à adopter dans notre quotidien, mais aussi des actions collectives pour transformer le système. Johann appelle à une véritable "rébellion de l'attention", un mouvement pour reprendre le contrôle de nos vies mentales, de notre temps, de notre liberté intérieure.Un épisode puissant, lucide, documenté et profondément humain. À écouter absolument si vous avez le sentiment de perdre pied dans un monde qui va toujours plus vite.Citations marquantes"Votre attention ne s'est pas effondrée, elle vous a été volée.""On croit faire des choix, mais dans un environnement qui est truqué contre nous.""Être interrompu est deux fois pire pour votre QI que de fumer un joint.""Personne ne veut vivre dans le monde que les ingénieurs de la Silicon Valley ont créé.""Nous ne sommes pas des paysans médiévaux : nous pouvons reprendre le contrôle."10 questions poséesPourquoi avons-nous autant de mal à nous concentrer aujourd'hui ?Est-ce que les smartphones ont détruit une génération ?Sommes-nous collectivement malades en tant que société ?Pourquoi croyons-nous être multitâches alors que ce n'est pas possible ?Comment la technologie est-elle conçue pour capter notre attention ?Le monde s'accélère-t-il vraiment, et à quel prix ?Pourquoi le sommeil est-il fondamental pour la concentration ?Que fait l'industrie alimentaire à notre cerveau ?Comment agir individuellement contre la distraction ?Quel modèle économique alternatif pour les réseaux sociaux ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00:00 : Introduction – pourquoi notre attention décline00:02:20 : L'histoire touchante de son filleul accro aux écrans00:08:50 : Smartphones et génération détruite ?00:13:00 : Le mythe du multitâche00:19:00 : L'accélération du monde00:23:30 : Le sommeil et ses effets invisibles00:30:00 : Les algorithmes et la colère comme business model00:38:00 : L'importance de l'oisiveté pour la démocratie00:50:00 : Le besoin d'un mouvement collectif01:04:00 : Changer le business model des réseaux sociaux Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #280 Addiction aux écrans : reprendre le contrôle avec Kenneth Schlenker (https://audmns.com/uOylwQa) #349 Le superpouvoir de la curiosité avec Alexandre Dana (https://audmns.com/fFNNHqm) Vlan #42 Les algorithmes au coeur de l'économie de l'attention avec Stéphan Eloise Gras (https://audmns.com/ATcgcQw)Distribué par Audiomeans.

Okay, so this week we're talking about one of the most powerful tools we have out there for our focus, our mental health, our community, our families, our children, ourselves - music! We don't even realize how much music plays a role in our lives. And luckily, gone are the days of believing we must work in sterile, silent environments - many (or dare I say most?) brains, including those with ADHD and other EF challenges, truly benefit from some kind of stimulation while doing focused work. The power of music has been studied by researchers so if you'd like to learn more, I've shared some articles in the show notes. But one of the best resources I can recommend is a new book out called Resonant Minds. Written by a daughter and father pair, Sara and Mort Sherman, this book covers all aspects of music - from its impact on the brain and learning, including as a mindfulness practice or as Sara and Mort call it “mindful action”, to its positive impact on individuals and community. I sat down with Sara and Mort to learn about music and share stories about how music has impacted us and others and about, as Sara and Mort say, that music is ultimately about love. Sara and Mort are so uniquely qualified to write this book so I asked them to introduce themselves, and the book Resonant Minds is such a unique book that I knew it was only right for them to describe it, so let's get on with the show!Here are the show notes from today's episode:Learn More About Sara Shermanhttps://mozartformunchkins.com/Learn More About Morthttps://my.aasa.org/AASA/Resources/SAMag/Sep16/InsideSherman.aspxResonant Minds bookhttps://mozartformunchkins.com/resonant-minds-the-transformative-power-of-music-one-note-at-a-time/https://www.resonantminds.comResearch on Music and the BrainMelody for the Mind: Enhancing Mood, Motivation, Concentration, and Learning through Music Listening in the Classroomhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20592043231214085Keep Your Brain Young with Musichttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/keep-your-brain-young-with-musicThe transformative power of music: Insights into neuroplasticity, health, and diseasehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10765015/The Youth Orchestra Hannah mentioned: https://gctyo.org/Learn More About Our MAP Programhttps://map.worksmartcoaching.comLearn More About 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/how-it-worksGet in Touchpodcast@beyondbooksmart.comInstagram/Facebook/Tiktok: @beyondbooksmartcoachingwww.beyondbooksmart.com
