Today I'm joined again by Dr. M. Nathaniel Mead and Dave Wayne as we continue the conversation Dr. Mead and I began in Ep. 391 Covid: Find out What REALLY Happened on The Covid Index. In this conversation, we dive into the ways censorship, corporate influence, and technological manipulation have distorted evidence-based medicine, suppressed free speech, and accelerated societal fragmentation. We also discuss the profound impact of mass formation and psychological manipulation during COVID — from the suppression of dissenting voices to the rapid artificialization of lifestyles, food, and even human identity. We break down:* The decline of genuine science and the rise of scientism during the pandemic* The dangers of centralized media, censorship, and reliance on AI for knowledge* How artificial environments, chemical exposure, and disconnection from nature are subtly rewiring human biology and psychology* The importance of reclaiming personal autonomy, free speech, and practices like mindfulness* Practical steps to awaken critical thinking and restore connection to natural and spiritual truthsWhy does all this matter? Because the erosion of free speech, personal sovereignty, and authentic science isn't just about politics—it's about the very fabric of human liberty. If we don't wake up now, we risk losing our capacity to discern truth and to live freely in a rapidly transforming world.Thank you for joining us!To learn more about about Dr. M.

In this episode of The New CISO, host Steve Moore speaks with Manuel "Manu" Ressel, CISO at SAUTER Group, about his unconventional journey from classroom teacher to cybersecurity leader—and why the "Four Cs" of modern education provide a powerful framework for building effective security programs. Drawing from years as both a teacher and school principal in Germany, Manu introduces Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity as essential leadership skills that fundamentally challenge how the industry approaches awareness training and incident response.After growing frustrated with Germany's outdated education system that prioritized memorization over critical thinking, Manu left his position as principal and reinvented himself as a digital transformation consultant. Working with schools and mid-sized companies to adopt cloud technologies, he eventually landed the CISO role at SAUTER, an international building automation company with 4,000 employees across multiple countries.The conversation tackles security's most persistent failure: awareness training that doesn't work. Manu reveals that 37% of security incidents in Germany could be prevented if users made better decisions, yet most organizations rely on boring click-through programs. He advocates for scenario-based, role-specific training—an approach now mandated by Europe's NIS 2 regulation—that treats people as the biggest opportunity in cybersecurity rather than the weakest link.One of the episode's most practical frameworks is Manu's Observation-Description-Interpretation method for analyzing security incidents. He explains how humans naturally jump from observation directly to interpretation, skipping the crucial middle step of accurately describing what actually happened. This leads to finger-pointing, misdiagnosis, and hasty decisions. By training security analysts to pause and describe incidents factually first, teams make better decisions and build trust with the business.Manu challenges the punitive approach many organizations take toward security failures, particularly companies that fire employees for repeatedly clicking phishing simulations. He champions building positive fault cultures where employees feel safe reporting mistakes. His three crisis questions—Is anyone dying? Major financial impact? Will someone be hurt?—provide a simple framework for staying calm and deciding when immediate action is necessary versus taking time to think strategically.Key Topics Discussed:Why the "Four Cs" (Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, Creativity) define effective security leadershipThe Observation-Description-Interpretation framework for incident analysis without biasTransforming ineffective awareness training into engaging, scenario-based programsBuilding positive security cultures where employees report issues without fearNIS 2's mandate for role-specific cybersecurity training across organizational levelsWhy Germany and European mid-market companies lag in cloud adoptionThree critical crisis questions: Is anyone dying? Financial impact? Risk of harm?Why punitive phishing training destroys trust and cultural engagementApplying teacher skills to security leadership and de-escalation...
In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, KJ sits down with Colin Cooper, CEO and co-founder of Illuminate XR, to explore the massive skills gap threatening our workforce. With over 100 companies under his belt and thousands of global hires, Colin has witnessed firsthand how our 200-year-old education system is failing to prepare people for today's AI-driven world. Discover how immersive technology, emotional intelligence training, and personalized learning are revolutionizing the way humans learn, and why the next few years will determine whether we step into the "age of humanity" or fall behind forever. Four Key Takeaways The Education System Is 200 Years Behind (4:42) Our schools still operate on an industrial-age factory model designed to create compliant workers, not creative thinkers. Classrooms haven't fundamentally changed in over 1,000 years, and curriculum remains rooted in preparing students for a world that no longer exists. Meet Learners Where They Are (7:40)Real learning happens when you reduce cortisol and increase dopamine by connecting education to personal interests. Whether it's tailoring physics lessons to football or basketball, or using horses to teach emotional intelligence, personalization is the key to engagement and retention. AI Should Amplify, Not Replace (20:05) The future isn't about AI replacing teachers or workers—it's about using AI as a personal assistant to handle repetitive tasks. Start by identifying one repetitive task in your job and automate it with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity. We're Living Through 25 Years of Progress Every Year (29:20)The convergence of AI and VR—technologies that shouldn't have merged for another 15-20 years—has compressed innovation timelines. What used to take 10-15 years to bring to market now takes weeks. The next 3-4 years will be transformative, and we have one shot to get it right. Quote of the Show (29:40):"When a year goes by, you normally get one year's worth of progress, but where we're at today, a year goes by and it's like 20 to 25 years of technology growth." – Colin Cooper Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I break down why I'm not satisfied with the FBI's official narrative surrounding Charlie Kirk and why I believe too many questions have been quietly labeled “off limits.”I explain why I agree with Candace Owens that the Tyler Robinson explanation feels incomplete, at best, and why the idea that he acted entirely alone deserves serious scrutiny rather than blind acceptance. I also address my personal suspicions regarding Erika Kirk and the toxic culture within TPUSA, shaped by my own experiences and tensions with TPUSA staff behind the scenes.Drawing from TPUSA events, I recount direct disagreements I had with staff over what I viewed as dangerously inadequate security, and why Charlie, tragically, never seemed to fully grasp how influential and vulnerable he had become. Finally, I discuss my theories and unanswered questions surrounding possible Israeli intelligence involvement (I do believe Mossad played a part in all of this).We must always dare to think our own thoughts and ask our own questions. Don't let them take that away from you.--https://www.bible.com/
On a cold January day in South Carolina, Jamie and Matt Staub unpack why focus is one of the most underrated leadership skills—especially in healthcare, where everything can feel urgent. They break down how leaders decide what deserves attention, how to “push pause” on non-emergencies, and why coaching people through problems is often more effective than absorbing them. The conversation also explores decision fatigue, the difference between being busy and being focused, the role of habits (including insights from Atomic Habits), and how boundaries protect the work that actually moves the mission forward. Along the way, they normalize attention struggles, reframe “failure” as part of growth, and offer practical ways to stay aligned to goals without losing empathy or accessibility.
Are we getting smarter — or just more wired?In this 15-minute episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, we explore the attention economy and what constant screens, algorithm-driven platforms, and AI-generated content may be doing to the way the next generation learns, focuses, and thinks.This isn't a political argument or a technology takedown. It's a practical, thoughtful conversation about:What “cognitive strength” really means — attention, memory, and executive functionHow modern platforms compete for engagement rather than understandingWhy focus and deep thinking matter in a free societyThe role of families, schools, and communities in protecting attention and character in a digital worldThis episode is about choice, responsibility, and resilience in an age of endless distraction.We're in this together, folks. Believe it. For the Republic! Cheers. #TheRightSide #DougBillings #AttentionEconomy #DigitalWellbeing #Podcast #CriticalThinking #Education #Culture Support the show

Did you know top students in Texas know the Bible even if they are not Religious?Top students often excel due to their understanding of cultural references, and Texas teacher Tamara Berkman says a surprising factor behind their success is knowledge of the Bible. Even non-religious students benefit from recognizing biblical themes, allusions, and historical context, which enhances their performance in literature, history, and critical thinking, according to Berkman. She created the “Learn the Whole Bible ASAP” curriculum to help students quickly grasp the Bible's storyline in just twenty short lessons to improve their understanding of literature, identify cultural references, and sharpen critical thinking skills is key for academic success. Knowing the Bible enhances students' critical thinking and academic performance, she says. https://www.teachthewholebible.org/product/ttwb-student/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
Many listeners have been asking for more alumni interviews, and this episode delivers. Davies Owens sits down with Ashton Lawrence, an Ambrose School graduate who joined the classical Christian world in fifth grade and stayed through graduation. Ashton reflects on the early challenges of adjusting to a more rigorous environment, the slow-burning value of logic and Latin, and the way great teachers helped the pieces “click” over time.As the conversation unfolds, Ashton connects the classroom to real life, from learning to spot fallacies in everyday arguments to building the kind of clear communication and steady conviction that helps a young adult navigate college, friendships, and vocational decisions with maturity. Along the way, he shares how family conversations, meaningful friendships, and hands-on experiences shaped him into someone who can read deeply, think carefully, and also solve real problems in the shop.Tune in to hear:Why Ashton's “late entry” into classical Christian education in fifth grade became a formative turning pointHow Tolkien, Shakespeare, and the great books helped shape his imagination, loves, and view of virtueWhat logic training changed for him immediately, especially in how he listened, argued, and communicatedWhy students sometimes struggle to understand the “why” behind classical education, and what schools can do betterHow a classical foundation helped him thrive socially and spiritually at a large Christian universityWhy the liberal arts and the common arts belong together, and how hands-on problem solving reveals real wisdomAshton's encouragement to parents and school leaders is simple and hopeful: stay the course. Even when students resist or do not fully appreciate the rigor in the moment, the fruit often shows up later, with gratitude, clarity, and strength for the road ahead.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupWisephone by TechlessZipCastWilson Hill Academy Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

The Big Mates discuss teachers, single edits, smart motorways, and Critical Thinking by Manic Street Preachers.Adam, Steve, and Lucas return to the subject of their very first season, Manic Street Preachers, in order to dissect and explore the band's fifteenth and most recent album, Critical Thinking. They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.They touch on the recording process, the effects of not having a manifesto, the themes of the album, and the ever-quotable Nicky Wire. Aging, nostalgia, techno-confusion, art, and politics - it must be a Manics album! How grey is grass? Could you listen to 165 Lifebloods in a row? What happened to your critical thinking?

I'm deeply worried about humanity losing our critical thinking skills. We've seen it degrade in the social media era, and now we're seeing people wholesale outsource it in the AI era. But what if we can actually enhance our critical thinking with AI? I'm too much of a skeptic to tackle this topic on my own, which is why I brought in Christian Ulstrup, who's doing some truly interesting things in the AI space. We talk about how AI is changing the education space, how we work, and why we should look to classic philosophers, like Aristotle, for the answers to how we should approach AI.The Walk and Talk FrameworkWant a great way to use AI? Use Christian's Walk and Talk Framework: Gather Your "Digital Exhaust": First, collect the raw data you've already produced. The AI Prompt: Copy and paste your text into a large-context model (like Google AI Studio) and use this specific prompt:"I want you to pose to me three extremely precise, very hard-hitting questions, all of which are independent and have different coverage, that if sufficiently answered, would yield some kind of transformative, genuinely novel, impactful insight. Please make reference to the primary source material where appropriate in the context of the question."The "Thinking" PhaseDon't look at the questions yet.Copy them into a mobile notes app and go for a wayRead only the first question. Open a Voice Memo and monologue your answer. Don't worry about being polished—mumble, ask yourself follow-up questions, and grapple with the idea until you feel you've reached a breakthrough.

Dr. Maya Shankar experienced devastating identity loss twice. First, a sudden injury ended her dreams of becoming a professional violinist; later, repeated miscarriages shattered her vision of motherhood. These losses forced her to confront how deeply she had tied her self-worth to specific roles and imagined futures. Drawing from cognitive science and human psychology, she learned to redefine her identity beyond self-imposed labels. In this episode, Maya explores the psychology of change, revealing why we experience “identity paralysis” when unexpected changes occur, and how we can use that to our advantage. In this episode, Hala and Dr. Maya will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:59) Understanding Identity Paralysis (07:21) The Science Behind Change (17:00) Unlocking Potential Future Selves (24:09) The Difference Between Resilience and Reinvention (33:14) How Change Reshapes Values and Beliefs (36:56) Self-Affirmation Exercises That Boost Positivity (40:40) The Change Toolkit: Navigating Life Transitions (57:16) Navigating the Messy Middle of Change (01:00:34) Mastering Career Pivots and Starting Fresh Dr. Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans.

Guest: Ronald White. Chamberlain returned to Bowdoin as a professor, where he prioritized critical thinking over strict regimentation and married Fanny in 1855. During his tenure, he witnessed significant pre-war events, including a visit by Jefferson Davis and Harriet Beecher Stowe reading early chapters of Uncle Tom's Cabin. When the Civil Warbegan, Chamberlain felt compelled to serve, abandoning a planned sabbatical in Europe to study languages. Despite the governor offering him a colonelcy, Chamberlain modestly requested a lower command to "earn and learn" the military trade, eventually joining the 20th Maine regiment in 1862.1863 GETTYSBURG

Cultivating happiness requires an active investment, yet some believe true personal growth only follows a "dark night of the soul." By navigating the tension between nihilism and existentialism, we transform an existential crisis into a search for fulfillment. Is discovering the meaning of life an individual pursuit, or is metaphysical life devoid of a moral truth? For a thoughtful exploration of meaning, happiness, and the human search for fulfillment, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with public policy professor, author, and thought leader in the science of wellbeing, Dr. Mark Fabian. Mark describes the existence of nihilism and existentialism within the social and political spectrum as well as the key differences in how they translate into happiness and personal growth. He highlights the beneficial effects of being of use in one's community. Like what you're hearing? WANT MORE SOUND IDEAS FOR DEEPER THINKING?

She looked perfect on paper. Impeccable diet. Physically fit. Emotionally stable. Then she walked into my office and said, "I can't stop crying. I can't think. Something is wrong, and I don't know what it is." Her labs told part of the story: CRP at 87, neutrophils through the roof, lymphocytes bottomed out. But there was no fever. No illness. No obvious source. Until she dropped one sentence that changed everything. This is the first episode of my new Clinical Thinking series where I walk you through real patient cases, step by step, so you can see how I actually think through complex presentations. In this episode, you'll learn why the obvious answer is rarely the right one, how the 30/30/30 rule can keep you from tunnel vision, and what a cracked tooth taught me about dental history and emotional symptoms. I also share the exact protocol I used, and why I intentionally kept it simple instead of ordering more tests. If you want the framework behind how I approach every case, download The 6 Principles of Clinical Thinking. And if you're ready to develop this kind of thinking, not just follow protocols, join me inside Clinical Academy.
Andy Peth fills in for John Rush on the final show of https://RushToReason.com 2025, joined by Ashley Carter, setting the tone with sharp humor, cultural commentary, and big-picture questions about the year that was. What were the biggest stories of 2025—and which ones are still shaping the future right now? As the conversation warms up, Andy challenges how people consume news, satire, and so-called “fact checks,” asking whether critical thinking has quietly disappeared in the internet age. Add in some much-needed laughter from stand-up comedian Brian Kiley, and Hour 1 becomes a fast-moving mix of humor, skepticism, and reflection. Which headlines really mattered this year—and did we miss the warning signs along the way? HOUR 2 Lights up, curtain rises—Hour 2 turns into a cinematic rollercoaster as Andy breaks down the best, worst, and most surprising movies of 2025. Which films delivered knockout performances and unexpected brilliance? Which ones looked promising… only to completely fall apart? From standout surprises like Weapons and Karate Kid: Legends, to baffling misfires that left audiences shaking their heads, Andy pulls no punches. Who earned Best Actor and Best Actress honors—and were there performances that didn't get the credit they deserved? Which highly anticipated releases became the year's biggest letdowns? And which films crossed the line into “needlessly woke,” distracting from story and substance? If you want to know which movies are worth your time—and which ones to avoid at all costs—this is the ultimate year-end movie verdict. Buckle up… this is movie talk with teeth.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how work gets done across nearly every industry. As automation accelerates and technology reshapes careers, parents and educators are asking pressing questions. What kinds of jobs will still exist? How should students prepare for an uncertain future? And what kinds of skills will truly endure?In this episode of BaseCamp Live, host Davies Owens is joined by Tami Peterson, founder and CEO of Life Architects Coaching. Together, they explore how AI is transforming college admissions, career pathways, and workforce expectations, and why human formation matters more than ever.Davies and Tami discuss how colleges are already responding to AI's influence, particularly in admissions. With AI-generated essays becoming commonplace, many schools are rethinking how they evaluate applicants and are placing renewed emphasis on in-person writing, oral exams, classroom engagement, and mentorship-driven learning environments. These shifts highlight a growing desire to see how students actually think, reason, and communicate.The conversation then turns to the workforce and what lies ahead for today's students. While some technical roles may decline or evolve, employers increasingly value qualities that technology cannot replicate.

This episode, based on a popular session from this year's Leadership in Education Event, explores media literacy and why it is arguably the most crucial skill set we need to teach students today.

In this engaging episode of the "Reading with Your Kids" podcast, host Jed Doherty welcomes two inspiring guests: Sara Schroter, author of the children's book "Max the Gemstone Finder," and Daniel Harmon, creator and showrunner of the educational TV series "Tuttle Twins." Sara Schroter shares her family's remarkable journey relocating from Bermuda to Italy and how her son's fascination with rocks led to the creation of Max, a character encouraging children and parents alike to nurture childhood passions. Listeners learn how supporting kids' interests boosts confidence, fosters learning, and connects families—key themes for parents, caregivers, and families navigating big changes like relocation. The episode also features Daniel Harmon, whose Tuttle Twins animated series brings economic principles, freedom, and entrepreneurship to life for kids. Daniel explains the show's creative process, the importance of co-viewing for families, and how Angel Studios empowers audiences through crowdfunding and direct feedback. Both guests emphasize creativity, educational value, and the power of family connection. Packed with parenting insights, tips on managing screen time, and ideas for fostering curiosity, this episode is perfect for families, educators, and fans of children's books and educational TV. Discover "Max the Gemstone Finder" and "Tuttle Twins"—two resources to inspire lifelong learning, critical thinking, and joy in your family.

This episode will help you refine your critical thinking, expand your differential diagnosis, and build the confidence to trust your judgment when things aren't as simple as they appear on the surface.
