    The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 11/13/25. The Los Angeles Times reported that in the highly populous state of California, there's a large segment of young (under 25) males who are not enrolled in school or working. Of course, black males make up a large proportion of these "privileged," no-count fellas. Tragically and predictably, California's prison and homeless population overwhelming dudes (non-white dudes) - with the California prison population being 96% male! We also recognize the end of the US government "shutdown." Hours before The C.O.W.S. went live, NPR reported that some federal employees who were not compensated during the stoppage should receive partial back pay within 48 hours. Some employees fear this may be a lie and that their full compensation could take weeks - or years - to arrive. We also discuss the rise of "incivility" in the workplace. #NoPoliticsOnTheJob#EndStageWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    “Two years and a half years ago, when coming down the Nile in a dahabiah, I stopped at . . . Tel el-Amarna. In the course of my exploration, I noticed . . . the foundations of a large building, which had just been laid bare by the natives. . . . A few months afterwards the natives, still going on with their work of disinterment, discovered among the foundations a number of clay tablets covered with characters the like of which had not previously been seen in the land of Egypt.”Those were the words of Archibald Henry Sayce, linguist, valetudinarian, and eventually first Professor of  Assyriology at the University of Oxford. What he had noticed was the uncovering of the Amarna Letters, a set of clay tablets written in cuneiform, about which Sayce–and many others–would be intensively concerned. Finding these letters was like uncovering a file cabinet in the Pharoah of Egypt's foreign ministry, suddenly providing a set of written sources that illuminated unknown areas of the past.With me to talk about the Amarna letter is Eric H. Cline. He is professor of classics and anthropology at George Washington University, and author most recently of Love, War, and Diplomacy: The Discovery of the Amarna Letters and the Bronze Age World They Revealed.

    Gospel Spice
    Spiritual resilience and the power of prayer in our spiritual battles

    Gospel Spice

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 11, 2025 32:47


    Welcome to today's “Identity in the Battle” series, where we continue our exploration of the powerful image Paul gives us in Ephesians 6: the Armor of God. Stephanie Rousselle dives into the spiritual realities of our identity in Christ and how we're equipped to stand strong in spiritual warfare. In our previous episode, (episode 415) we looked at the first few pieces of this armor. So, how do we live victoriously through our spiritual battles? Let's see what Paul has to teach us through his letter to the Ephesians. Context and Purpose Paul sets the stage by reminding us that as followers of Christ, we're engaged in a real, everyday spiritual battle. The “Armor of God” is not just a metaphor; it's a God-given resource to ground us in our identity, empower us, and unite us as the body of Christ. The Shield of Faith Paul's words to the Ephesians brings the shield to life. In Greek, the word is literally “door,” emphasizing its large, protective nature—big enough to hide a soldier entirely. Roman soldiers would lock shields together, signifying unity and teamwork. Alone, we may stand vulnerable, but joined with others in faith, we're nearly impenetrable. The shield also features hinges—faith is “active,” meant to be flexible, adapting to every circumstance. The shield extinguishes “all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” These arrows primarily serve as distractions. Satan often uses “fiery darts” not just to harm, but mostly to divert our attention, separating us from our main purpose and leaving us vulnerable to further attacks. Stephanie reminds us to recognize life's distractions and stay focused—don't mistake the fire for the real enemy! We are challenged to take stock of how many times our faith has shielded us from attack, and to recognize each as a testimony to God's faithfulness. The Helmet of Salvation Just as medicine must be applied—not merely owned—salvation transforms us when we “put it on” daily. The helmet protects our minds from the enemy's lies, renewing our thoughts through daily application. Our salvation is both a present reality and a future inheritance; we're called to live now with the confidence, hope, and abundance Christ offers, not a mindset of spiritual scarcity. The Sword of the Spirit The “sword” is the Word of God—both Scripture and Jesus Himself. Scripture is not merely ink on paper, but alive and active, shaping us as we wield its truths. So, memorizing, speaking, and applying Scripture is our offensive weapon, capable of cutting through lies, confusion, and spiritual strongholds. Prayer as Our Ultimate Weapon Finally, Paul underscores prayer as the glue of our spiritual arsenal. Prayer is not a formality; it's the relational heartbeat with our Commander-in-Chief, Jesus. To kneel in prayer is the only way to stand firm against the enemy. Conclusion: Victory and Identity As believers, we're not called to fight alone. Armor is meant to be worn in unity, our eyes fixed on Jesus, our victorious leader. We're warriors today—clothed for battle—but one day, we'll trade our armor for bridal garments, celebrating our eternal victory in Christ. Until then, let's stand firm, united, and equipped with every spiritual blessing, living out our new identity in Him. Reflection: What distractions (flaming arrows) are keeping you from focusing on your true spiritual battle? Where do you need to “lock shields” with others? How can you apply the helmet of salvation and wield the sword of the Spirit more intentionally this week? Enjoying these reflection questions?

    More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music

    Send us a textHave you ever meditated on the thief on the cross next to Jesus? In this week's episode of More Than a Song, I explore Melanie Penn's powerful track “Man On The Middle Cross,” a song sung from the perspective of that repentant criminal. His story—one of mockery turned to mourning, and ultimately to mercy—invites us to reflect deeply on the grace of salvation. Join me as we dive into Luke's Gospel and uncover the beauty of redemption through the eyes of a man who received eternal life in his final moments.Key PointsThe thief's perspective reveals grace. Melanie Penn's song gives voice to the repentant criminal, highlighting the radical mercy of Jesus and the simplicity of salvation through faith.Mourning and mocking are central themes in Luke's crucifixion account. These emotional responses reflect both the sorrow of loss and the rejection of truth, offering rich ground for reflection and study.The thief was a real person with a real encounter with Christ. Engaging Scripture with the understanding that its characters were real helps deepen our connection to the biblical narrative.The criminals were likely rebels, not petty thieves. Their crimes were serious—possibly insurrection—making the thief's redemption even more astonishing and powerful.Jesus was treated like a criminal, though He was innocent. He fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy by being “numbered with the transgressors,” showing His identification with sinners.Salvation is a free gift, not earned. Romans 6:23 reminds us that eternal life is given by grace, not merit—just as the thief received it in his final moments.Scripture ReferencesLuke 23:32–43 Luke 22–24 Isaiah 53:12 Romans 6:23Romans 3:23 Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs)Read in Context. Read and Listen to Scripture. Read Scripture Out Loud. Repetition. Word Study. Compare and Contrast. Remember the People Were Real. Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideStory behind the song "Man on the Middle Cross" - Melanie Penn on Friday With Friends - Bonus EpisodeComplete lyrics to all of the songs on her album, The Rising – A Resurrection Album, with Scripture references for you to explore - A gift from Melanie Penn herself!

    This episode explores the core idea that ADHD brains are wired for context rather than linear order. Ash and Dusty explain how people with ADHD often struggle with outlines, step-by-step plans, and standalone documentation, because their meaning-making is dialogic and contextual. They describe common challenges—difficulty starting projects from an outline, trouble following instructions without the chance to ask clarifying questions, and cycles of avoidance or acting from desperation when outside pressures drive behavior. Practical examples include classroom learning, workplace documentation, and personal projects where contextual cues or real-time conversation make the difference between understanding and confusion. The hosts also highlight the strengths that come from contextual thinking: creative problem-solving, rapid performance in crises, and the ability to bridge different perspectives. They show how coaching can help by surfacing hidden contexts—values, cultural expectations, and assumptions—that drive unhelpful patterns, so clients can choose actions aligned with what actually matters to them. The episode closes with a reminder that “simple” ideas aren't always accessible without the right context, and that recognizing how ADHD thinkers search for meaning is key to better learning, productivity, and self-understanding.

    Notes Luke 21:5-19 Isaiah 65:17-25 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy explore the themes of apocalyptic literature, the signs of the times as presented in Luke 21, and the hopeful message of Isaiah 65. They discuss the importance of community, faithfulness, and the ongoing work of God in creating a new heaven and earth, while also addressing the challenges of undisciplined lives as mentioned in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation emphasizes the need for hope and action in the face of adversity, encouraging listeners to participate in God's work of justice and renewal. Takeaways The destruction of the temple is a significant event in the Gospels. Apocalyptic literature often arises in times of despair and upheaval. Jesus' prophecy offers a radical reinterpretation of destruction as fulfillment of God's plan. God's faithfulness remains despite signs of disaster and destruction. Isaiah 65 presents a vision of hope and renewal for the future. The ongoing creation of a new heaven and earth is a present reality. Community building and justice are essential in participating in God's kingdom. The message of 2 Thessalonians addresses the importance of work and responsibility. Faithfulness is required in the midst of societal challenges. Love and compassion should guide our interactions with those who struggle.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Pulpit Fiction Podcast 01:19 Reflections on Past Events and Community 04:51 Exploring Luke 21: Signs of the Times 06:30 Apocalyptic Literature and Its Relevance 09:40 The Role of Hope in Dystopian Narratives 11:08 Understanding the Context of Jesus' Prophecy 13:42 Reframing Destruction: God's Faithfulness Amidst Chaos 18:10 The Widow's Offering: A Symbol of Hope 22:03 Compassion for the Vulnerable in a Corrupt System 24:37 Engaging with the Present: Avoiding Escapism 27:25 Long-Term Faithfulness in Times of Crisis 29:36 A Vision of Hope and Renewal 30:39 God's Response to Rebellion 34:09 The Promise of New Creation 37:33 The Ongoing Work of God 42:38 Justice and Community Care 49:33 Living in Faithful Community 56:07 Love and Accountability in Community

    In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Jessica Talisman, founder of Contextually and creator of the Ontology Pipeline, about the deep connections between knowledge management, library science, and the emerging world of AI systems. Together they explore how controlled vocabularies, ontologies, and metadata shape meaning for both humans and machines, why librarianship has lessons for modern tech, and how cultural context influences what we call “knowledge.” Jessica also discusses the rise of AI librarians, the problem of “AI slop,” and the need for collaborative, human-centered knowledge ecosystems. You can learn more about her work at Ontology Pipeline and find her writing and talks on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Jessica Talisman to discuss Contextually, ontologies, and how controlled vocabularies ground scalable systems.05:00 They compare philosophy's ontology with information science, linking meaning, categorization, and sense-making for humans and machines.10:00 Jessica explains why SQL and Postgres can't capture knowledge complexity and how neuro-symbolic systems add context and interoperability.15:00 The talk turns to library science's split from big data in the 1990s, metadata schemas, and the FAIR principles of findability and reuse.20:00 They discuss neutrality, bias in corporate vocabularies, and why “touching grass” matters for reconciling internal and external meanings.25:00 Conversation shifts to interpretability, cultural context, and how Western categorical thinking differs from China's contextual knowledge.30:00 Jessica introduces process knowledge, documentation habits, and the danger of outsourcing how-to understanding.35:00 They explore knowledge as habit, the tension between break-things culture and library design thinking, and early AI experiments.40:00 Libraries' strategic use of AI, metadata precision, and the emerging role of AI librarians take focus.45:00 Stewart connects data labeling, Surge AI, and the economics of good data with Jessica's call for better knowledge architectures.50:00 They unpack content lifecycle, provenance, and user context as the backbone of knowledge ecosystems.55:00 The talk closes on automation limits, human-in-the-loop design, and Jessica's vision for collaborative consulting through Contextually.Key InsightsOntology is about meaning, not just data structure. Jessica Talisman reframes ontology from a philosophical abstraction into a practical tool for knowledge management—defining how things relate and what they mean within systems. She explains that without clear categories and shared definitions, organizations can't scale or communicate effectively, either with people or with machines.Controlled vocabularies are the foundation of AI literacy. Jessica emphasizes that building a controlled vocabulary is the simplest and most powerful way to disambiguate meaning for AI. Machines, like people, need context to interpret language, and consistent terminology prevents the “hallucinations” that occur when systems lack semantic grounding.Library science predicted today's knowledge crisis. Stewart and Jessica trace how, in the 1990s, tech went down the path of “big data” while librarians quietly built systems of metadata, ontologies, and standards like schema.org. Today's AI challenges—interoperability, reliability, and information overload—mirror problems library science has been solving for decades.Knowledge is culturally shaped. Drawing from Patrick Lambe's work, Jessica notes that Western knowledge systems are category-driven, while Chinese systems emphasize context. This cultural distinction explains why global AI models often miss nuance or moral voice when trained on limited datasets.Process knowledge is disappearing. The West has outsourced its “how-to” knowledge—what Jessica calls process knowledge—to other countries. Without documentation habits, we risk losing the embodied know-how that underpins manufacturing, engineering, and even creative work.Automation cannot replace critical thinking. Jessica warns against treating AI as “room service.” Automation can support, but not substitute, human judgment. Her own experience with a contract error generated by an AI tool underscores the importance of review, reflection, and accountability in human–machine collaboration.Collaborative consulting builds knowledge resilience. Through her consultancy, Contextually, Jessica advocates for “teaching through doing”—helping teams build their own ontologies and vocabularies rather than outsourcing them. Sustainable knowledge systems, she argues, depend on shared understanding, not just good technology.

This force, woven into everything - both living and non-living - is inherently good. If we choose, we could call this force God. I view this power as a kind of cosmic disposition that grows, understands, and empathises with us - suffers with us, you might say - and that humans are ‘fractal', as Cormac so beautifully puts it, exemplars or metaphors of the melancholic nature of this God-soaked universe. I believe that evil exists not only within the human heart but also as an external energy separate from us, moving through the world - a nullifying, destructive potency - 'going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it'. We can see it, if we choose, all around us. Yet, we can act as the remedy to this existential predicament by directing our efforts towards the world's flourishing and away from its destruction, in whatever way we can. It is our duty to attend to the sorrow of the universe - the sorrow of God.

    2. The Apollo 8 Crew, Cold War Context, and Reliance on the Saturn 5 Booster. Bob Zimmerman introduces the Apollo 8 crew—Commander Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and rookie William Anders—set against the backdrop of the intense global Cold War in late 1968. Borman was selected for his honesty and dedication to duty, ensuring the mission's success after his role in investigating the Apollo 1 tragedy. Lovell was known as a "space cadet" eager to explore, and he and Borman had proven human endurance in space during Gemini 7. The mission was a high-risk endeavor, utilizing the Saturn 5 rocket, which had only flown twice before, with the second flight experiencing problems. Wernher von Braun's team fixed these issues, and NASA decided to proceed, confident they could demonstrate that free people could achieve success better than the top-down Soviet system. The astronauts' wives accepted the mission despite the widely believed 50/50 chance of return. 1945

    6. The Cold War Context and the Tragedy of a Government-Controlled Space Program. Bob Zimmerman discusses how the Apollo 8 mission was embedded in the global Cold War and the extreme chaos of 1968, marked by political turmoil and assassinations. The space race was intended as a demonstration that America, as a free society, could achieve great things better than the Soviet top-down system. While the astronauts were military veterans, the author disputes the notion that NASA was a military operation, emphasizing that it was run by civilian engineers and managers. Ironically, despite the goal of celebrating freedom, President Kennedy adopted a centralized, top-down, government-run structure—a "Soviet style" program. This centralized approach proved to be a tragedy, as the mission became viewed as a singular stunt. Once the moon landing was achieved, the program lost political and financial support, resulting in a "dead end" for future solar system exploration. 2014 GOLDEN MOON

    Theme: Restoration, Repentance, and Prophecy — God's Zeal for Zion and His Sovereign Plan Pastor Matthew continued the study in Zechariah chapters 8–9, emphasizing God's zealous love for Jerusalem, His plan to restore His people, and the prophetic revelation of Jesus' triumphal entry hundreds of years before it happened. The message blended historical restoration, end-time prophecy, and personal spiritual application about obedience, repentance, and loving truth. The Context of Zechariah's Message Zechariah ministered to the returning exiles who were rebuilding the temple and city after Babylonian captivity. His message: Repent and rebuild, learning from the failures of their fathers who disobeyed God. “The reason Jerusalem was run over and the walls were down was because their fathers decided not to obey God.” Pastor warned that disobedience in one generation damages the next, but also offered hope: “The Lord will restore everything the cankerworm has eaten… You can start over today because His mercies are new every morning.” God's Zealous Love and Protective Jealousy (Zechariah 8:1–3) God declares: “I am zealous for Zion with great zeal.” Pastor explained the difference between sinful jealousy (possessive, fearful) and God's holy jealousy (protective, loving). He illustrated this with a story of a discerning wife's protective instinct — likening God's jealousy to the kind that protects, not controls. Application: God's jealousy is a shield of love, not suspicion. He guards His people as a husband guards his bride. God's Promise of Restoration and Peace Zechariah's vision shows old men and women in the streets and children playing again — symbols of renewed peace. Pastor noted that this prophecy has a dual fulfillment: Immediate — Israel's physical return and rebuilding under Nehemiah and Zechariah. Future — The millennial kingdom, when Christ reigns and Jerusalem is finally at peace. “There's coming a day when Jerusalem will never be moved again. They'll suffer, but they're there to stay.” The Nations and Israel — God's Sovereign Control Pastor described how world events align with biblical prophecy: nations turning against Israel, yet unable to uproot her. He cautioned that the stage is being set for the end-times conflict when “all nations come against Jerusalem.” “They're not leaving. Russia's not pushing them out. Muslims aren't. America won't compromise them out. They belong to God.” He reminded the congregation that God owns every nation: “Israel belongs to God. So does Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, America, and China. The earth is the Lord's.” Key Point: The rise and fall of nations are under divine authority; human plans collapse, but God's purposes stand forever (Psalm 2). God's Call to Integrity and Truth (Zechariah 8:16–17) The Lord calls His people to: Speak truth to neighbors. Give just judgment. Avoid evil and deceit. Pastor explained that while we are no longer “under the law,” the Ten Commandments remain, summed up in Jesus' two greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God… and love your neighbor as yourself.” He warned against loving lies and gossip, urging believers to love truth even when it hurts: “Love truth when it punches you in the face. It's your protector.” The Value of Correction and Loving Truth Pastor reminded that truth both encourages and rebukes: “One day truth pats you on the back, saying, ‘Keep going.' The next day it slaps you on the shoulder and says, ‘Stop being foolish.' We need both.” Truth guards against deception — echoing Paul's warning that in the last days, God will send strong delusion to those who reject truth (2 Thess. 2:11–12). Application: “Don't just love truth when it makes you feel good — love it when it corrects you. That's what keeps you safe.” Restoration of Joy and the Future Kingdom (Zechariah 8:19–23) God promised that Israel's fasts of mourning would become feasts of joy. People from many nations would say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Pastor noted this points to both: Israel's national revival, and The global acknowledgment of God's presence among His people. He reminded the church that God reveals Himself to all nations and that no one is beyond His reach, citing: “The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” (Titus 2:11) God's Sovereignty in Judgment and Mercy (Zechariah 9) Pastor transitioned into Zechariah 9, noting it shifts from restoration to prophecy and divine judgment. The Lord declares He will judge the surrounding nations (Tyre, Sidon, Gaza, Ashkelon, Philistia), showing He alone controls history. “Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. If He tells you to store up, do it. If not, don't worry — just obey Him.” Prophecy of the Messiah — The Triumphal Entry (Zechariah 9:9–10) One of Scripture's clearest messianic prophecies: “Behold, your King is coming to you… lowly and riding on a donkey.” Pastor showed how this prophecy was fulfilled exactly in Luke 19:28–40, 500 years later, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt. He explained Jesus' deity through this miracle: He knew where the donkey was before the disciples arrived. The unbroken colt didn't resist because its Creator was riding it. “You don't buck the one who made you.” Key Revelation: Even creation recognizes the Creator. When the Pharisees told Jesus to silence His followers, He replied, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Closing Reflections — God's Ownership and Faithfulness Everything in creation belongs to God and returns to Him. All life flows from Him — human, animal, or natural — and He sustains it all. Pastor closed personally, thanking the congregation for prayers during his recovery from hip pain, testifying how God used the trial to draw him closer: “If you'll just talk to God and open your life to Him, He'll use it. He knows how to do things right.” He reflected on Jacob's limp and said, like the patriarch, “God weakened my strength in the way” to prepare him for the next phase of ministry. Core Message God's jealousy is protective — His love guards His people. Love truth, even when it hurts. Israel's restoration and Christ's reign are certain. God's Word is precise — prophecy always fulfills perfectly. Every trial, every delay, every pain can be used by God for transformation.

    The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 11/06/25. In the United States, we're nearly 40 days into the so-called government shutdown. Gus T. is tragically certain that the White-people-imposed stoppage will continue until the end of 2025. Sen. James Lankford says federal workers could lose health care coverage if the "shutdown" continues. Gus encourages Victims of White Supremacy to remember the words of Neely Fuller Jr.: "White People do not get fired. They get transferred." Even the Whites who get furloughed have White parents and White siblings and White friends and White strangers who can assist them while working to maintain the System of White Supremacy. Tragiclly, we heard black federal employees sadly proclaim that they thought they had "made it" when Whites allowed them to have federal employment. Now that Whites have taken their prestigious jobs back, black workers express feeling traumatized and emotionally devastated. #NoPoliticsOnTheJob #EndStageWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael speaks with AI strategist and author Steff about the real-world impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce. Together, they challenge the common narrative that AI is replacing human jobs and explore how leaders can adopt AI responsibly without losing sight of the human element. AI's Limited Impact on the Workforce Steff shares her concerns about companies prematurely laying off employees under the guise of AI adoption, emphasizing that today's AI lacks the depth to truly replace people. Michael echoes this sentiment, noting that many organizations are jumping into AI initiatives without understanding the implications. Both agree that while AI will transform the workforce over time, we're far from a reality where machines can replace human intelligence and empathy. Rethinking Employment Dynamics Michael and Steff dive into the nuances of AI's effect on employment. While automation can replace certain tasks, it often leads to cost-cutting rather than meaningful innovation. Steff highlights how AI can reduce repetitive work, freeing humans to focus on creativity and strategy. The two also compare cultural differences between North America and Europe—where stronger work-life balance and social systems offer a healthier framework for integrating technology into work. AI as a Productivity Partner The conversation shifts to the potential of AI as a collaboration tool. Michael explains how AI-powered note-taking and workflow tools can enhance meetings by freeing up cognitive space and improving documentation. Steff and Michael agree that AI democratizes access to powerful tools, empowering individuals to be more productive, even as organizations struggle to integrate these systems effectively. Context Is the New Skillset Steff introduces a fascinating idea—the rise of the “context engineer.” As businesses rely on AI, she argues that human understanding of nuance, culture, and emotional intelligence will become essential to guide AI systems effectively. Context engineers will bridge the gap between data and human meaning, ensuring AI remains a support, not a substitute. What AI Can't Replace Drawing from her book Being Replaced, Steff outlines five uniquely human skills that AI cannot automate: flexible thinking, emotional intelligence, collective intelligence, intuition, and true innovation. She underscores that while AI can simulate emotion or pattern recognition, it cannot create, connect, or empathize as humans do. Michael reinforces that innovation and adaptability have always been the cornerstones of human progress. AI as a Tool for Human Enhancement The episode closes on an optimistic note. Steff discusses her open-source framework for using AI intelligently and invites listeners to explore her resources on her website and GitHub. Together, Michael and Steff remind us that AI should be viewed not as a threat, but as a powerful enhancement tool that amplifies human capability, creativity, and connection. Listen now to discover how to lead in the age of AI without losing what makes us human.

    This week on Sinica, I chat with Lizzi Lee, a fellow on the Chinese economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute and one of the sharpest China analysts working today. We dig into the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Party Congress and what it reveals about China's evolving growth model — particularly the much-discussed but often misunderstood push against "involution" in key sectors like EVs and solar. Lizzi walks us through the structural incentives driving overcompetition, from local government finance and VAT collection to the challenges of rebalancing supply and demand. We also discuss her recent Foreign Affairs piece on China's manufacturing model, why "overcapacity" is a misleading frame, the unexpected upsides of China's industrial strategy for the global green transition, and what happened at the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan. This is a conversation about getting beyond the binaries and understanding the actual mechanisms — and contradictions — shaping China's economic trajectory.4:43 – What Western reporting missed in the 4th Plenum communique 6:34 – The "anti-involution" push and what it really means 9:57 – Is China's domestic demand abnormally low?

Once you consume 30-40 grams of protein in a sitting, the specific source becomes largely irrelevant since the muscle-building signal gets saturated.Aspartame fears are scientifically unfounded. Despite popular panic, artificial sweeteners don't cause insulin spikes, increase hunger, or cause diabetes. Cancer risks only appear at 10,000x normal consumption in lab rats.Context over absolutes defines expert communication. Real experts rarely use words like "always," "never," "best," or "worst." They provide nuance, acknowledge uncertainty, and present opposing viewpoints before explaining their position.Emotional manipulation drives supplement marketing. The more exclamation points and extreme claims in marketing, the less likely it's legitimate. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not just assertion.Listen to how fitness experts (or any experts, for that matter) speak, not just what they say. Train yourself to recognize measured, contextual language that acknowledges complexity. When you spot fear-mongering or absolute statements, investigate deeper and demand evidence before accepting claims.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

    Joining me this week is Dr. Peter Vermeulen, psychologist, author, and founder of Autism in Context. Peter has spent more than 35 years helping families, educators, and clinicians better understand autism and what it truly means to live a happy, meaningful life.   Together we explore:   - Why happiness and well-being deserve as much attention as therapies or interventions for autistic individuals - and what we can learn from autistic people who are thriving. - How reframing "stereotyped interests" as passions and talents can open doors to meaning, confidence, and even careers. - Why predictability is so essential for autistic children's sense of safety and how parents can build that into daily routines and relationships to foster a secure attachment bond. - Just like you feed your child before they get hangry, how parents can "pre-regulate" their child's nervous system throughout the day to prevent overload, meltdowns, and dysregulation. - Why autistic children absolutely do form attachments — and how differences in communication and perception can lead to misunderstandings in connection, not an absence of it. - Practical ways to nurture love and security (Spoiler: things like creating predictable rituals, using concrete symbols, establishing shared routines to strengthen your bond, and more!)   Peter's message is both deeply compassionate and hopeful: autistic individuals are capable of happiness, love, and purpose — and when we meet them with curiosity and respect for how their brains see the world, we can help them build lives filled with meaning and joy.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:
