Topics:Debating Anti-Semitism: Free Speech, Government Policies, and Social CohesionIn Episode 476, hosts Trevor and Joe discuss the recent release of the Special Envoy's report on combating antisemitism in Australia. The report, focused on curbing criticism of Israel, sparks debates about control over institutions, government policies, and freedom of speech. The hosts express concerns over the influence of powerful interest groups and the implications of adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism. They also highlight the contrast between public perceptions of Israel among different age groups and critique the social coherence argument used to justify the report's recommendations. The episode transitions to discussing geopolitical issues, notably Australia's military exports to Israel, and wraps up with a humorous take on America's absence in the Bible.00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview01:02 Special Envoy Report on Antisemitism03:18 Debating the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism07:15 Comparisons and Criticisms of Israeli Policies14:28 Generational Differences in Views on Israel17:18 Educational and Cultural Recommendations28:16 Critique of the Special Envoy's Plan33:54 Controversial Donations and Social Cohesion35:05 Criticism of Israeli Policies and Antisemitism39:32 Free Speech and Double Standards41:02 Australia's Military Involvement with the US46:39 ICE and Immigration Policies in the US01:00:56 Biblical References and American Politics01:02:55 Comparing Political Systems: China vs. US01:04:19 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsTo financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

Edition No187 | 13-07-2025 - In this Silicon Bites, we'll look at the latest comments of Russian patriots calling out their own army – not for its crimes but for its ineffectiveness, and inability to mount breakthrough offensives. There are rumours of North Korean troops being drafted to support, Putin's “last throw of the dice” in a major summer offensive. We look at Russia's brutal tactics and Ukraine's defence. And finally ask whether economic and manpower strains in Russia mean that this is the last year in which Putin can maintain full combat operations. And how could an increase in Western support for Ukraine further pile pressure on Putin's stretched resources. Let's unpack Putin's **last-ditch gambit** for a maximalist victory in Ukraine. ----------DESCRIPTION:This Will Break Russia: Unpacking Putin's Final Summer OffensiveIn this edition of Silicon Bytes, we delve deep into the rumored major summer offensive by Russia and its potential impacts on the war and Putin's regime. The episode examines Russian patriots' criticisms of their military's inefficacy, rumors of North Korean troops joining the conflict, and the overall sustainability of Russia's combat operations. Insights from key Russian figures like Igor Gerkin and Maxim Kalashnikov highlight the growing dissatisfaction within Russia. We also discuss Western support for Ukraine, the strategic importance of economic pressures, and how these factors might push the war towards a decisive turning point. Analysts warn that the coming months could determine the future of Putin's regime, with significant implications for global geopolitics.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Support Acknowledgment00:37 Russian Patriots Criticize Their Own Military00:51 North Korean Troops and Russia's Summer Offensive01:12 Economic and Manpower Strains in Russia01:23 Putin's Last Ditch Gambit02:11 Criticism from Russian Nationalists03:06 Strategic Surrender and North Korean Involvement05:24 Plans for a Large-Scale Offensive06:24 Challenges and Criticisms of the Offensive14:46 Economic Collapse and Recruitment Issues16:25 Western Support and Strategic Shifts17:57 Sanctions and Economic Pressure on Russia19:26 Conclusion: The Limits of Putin's War----------LINKS: https://www.ft.com/content/ef899f3a-3f93-4aef-824a-ecdd75f6dcc0 https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-july-10-2025 https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/ukraine-prepares-russian-summer-offensive https://www.economist.com/interactive/graphic-detail/2025/07/09/russias-summer-ukraine-offensive-looks-like-its-deadliest-so-far https://kyivindependent.com/russias-summer-offensive-becomes-its-costliest-campaign-during-ukraine-invasion-economist-reports-06-2025/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/06/29/russia-summer-offensive-fizzling-out-ukraine-putin/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/29/europe/russia-summer-offensive-kyiv-ukraine-intl https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/30/russia-military-challenges-summer-offensive/ https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/06/08/vladimir-putin-unleashes-a-summer-offensive-against-ukraine https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/06/08/vladimir-putin-unleashes-a-summer-offensive-against-ukraine https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-halts-russian-advance-in-sumy-syrskyi-says-summer-offensive-faltering-06-2025/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/11/ukraine-war-briefing-trump-poised-to-send-weapons-under-biden-style-drawdown-say-sources?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb ----------

This week we have...Mike and Bill's 4th of July, Freedom Episode.Mike started off with his reading and yes, it was about freedom. During our active addiction, we had no freedom at all. We were ruled by alcohol and drugs and life was a chore.Now we can do what we want, when we want (within reason) and life is far better. Enjoy the freedom.We ranted a bit about podcasters begging for money and using guilt along the way. We don't like that.Then it was on to social social media, being humble, using kind words, insignificant troubles, being critical and the word Diddy came up. Don't worry, we aren't supporters.We wrapped up with a few articles and a wet crotch at the airport.Enjoy the episode.Visit usPodcast www.sobernotmature.comStore www.sobernotmatureshop.comHobo www.themoderndayhobo.com

The same Democrats who turned a blind eye when Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in a single year are now clutching their pearls over Trump's targeted strike on Iran. Hanson breaks this down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Barack Obama, in the single year, 2016, he dropped 26,000 bombs. And it wasn't just in Syria. It wasn't just in Iraq. It wasn't just in Afghanistan. He dropped them in Libya. He dropped them in Somalia. He dropped them in Yemen. 26,000 bombs. And they all had one thing in common. He didn't think he had to go to the Congress to ask permission. “ All they're doing is saying, 'If Donald Trump does something, we are going to be irate. We're going to use pornography. We're going to use smuddy language. And we're going to oppose him. And now, we're going to impeach him.' And some people in that party said, 'This is so unhinged. It's so contradictory. It's so paradoxical. It's so hypocritical.'”

Okay it's been a few months since the last war Israel started, so now that Iran's on the chopping block let's go over the rules once again. Rule 1: Israel is never the aggressor. If Israel attacks someone it's either a response to an aggression that happened in the past, or a preemptive attack to thwart an imminent aggression in the future. Rule 2: History automatically restarts at the date of the last act of aggression against Israel. If someone attacks Israel it was completely unprovoked, because nothing happened before the attack on Israel. Rule 3: Anything bad that Israel does is justified by Rule 2. This is true even if it does things that would be considered completely unjustifiable if it were done by a nation like Russia or China. Rule 4: Israel has a right to defend itself, but nobody else does. Rule 5: Israel never bombs civilians, it bombs Bad Guys. If shocking numbers of civilians die it's because they were actually Bad Guys, or because Bad Guys killed them, or because a Bad Guy stood too close to them. If none of those reasons apply then it's for some other mysterious reason we are still waiting for the IDF to investigate. Rule 6: Criticizing anything Israel does means you hate Jewish people. There is no other possible reason for anyone to oppose acts of mass military slaughter besides a seething, obsessive hatred for a small Abrahamic faith. Rule 7: Nothing Israel does is ever as bad as the hateful criticisms described in Rule 6. Criticisms of Israel's actions are always worse than Israel's actions themselves, because those critics hate Jews and wish to commit another Holocaust. Preventing this must consume 100 percent of our political energy and attention. Rule 8: Israelis are only ever the victims and never the victimizers. If Israelis kill Iranians, it's because the Iranians hate Jews. If Iranians kill Israelis, it's because the Iranians hate Jews. Israel is an innocent little lamb that just wants to mind its own business in peace. Rule 9: The fact that Israel is literally always in a state of war with its neighbors and with displaced indigenous populations must be interpreted as proof that Rule 8 is true instead of proof that Rule 8 is ridiculous nonsense. Rule 10: The lives of people in Muslim nations are much, much less important to us than western lives or Israeli lives. Nobody is allowed to think too hard about why this might be. Rule 11: The media always tell the truth about Israel and its various conflicts. If you doubt this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6. Rule 12: Unsubstantiated claims which portray Israel's enemies in a negative light may be reported as factual news stories without any fact checking or qualifications, while extensively evidenced records of Israeli criminality must be reported on with extreme skepticism and doubtful qualifiers like “Iran claims”, “Hezbollah says” or “according to the Hamas-run health ministry”. This is important to do because otherwise you might get accused of being a propagandist. Rule 13: Israel must continue to exist in its current iteration no matter what it costs or how many people need to die. There is no need to present any logically or morally grounded reasons why this is the case. If you dispute this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6. Rule 14: The US government has never lied about anything ever, and is always on the right side of every conflict. Rule 15: Israel is the last bastion of freedom and democracy in the middle east and therefore must be defended, no matter how many journalists it has to assassinate, no matter how many press institutions it needs to shut down, no matter how many protests its supporters need to dismantle, no matter how much free speech it needs to eliminate, no matter how many civil rights its western backers need to erase, and no matter how many elections its lobbyists need to buy.

For the past five decades, every Republican president except Gerald Ford has tried to cut funding for public media. But it has never dealt with a moment like this. The Trump administration is attacking public media from every possible angle. His executive order demanded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and all executive agencies halt all funding for NPR and PBS; the FCC is investigating NPR and PBS's corporate underwriting; and this week, the House is expected to take up a rescissions package that would claw back all federal funding for NPR and PBS. Katherine Maher, the CEO of NPR, is fighting back. On May 27th, NPR and three Colorado member stations filed a suit challenging the president's executive order. (PBS followed suit a few days later.) Suing the president is, obviously, an uncomfortable position for a media organization which has to cover him, But according to Maher, NPR is doing its patriotic duty to defend the First Amendment.

In this episode of Brain in a Vat, we examine two competing political visions through an AI debate between Plato and Robert Nozick. Plato defends rule by philosopher kings and a unified society, while Nozick argues for individual liberty and a minimal state. Following our previous episode featuring Mill and Kant, we continue investigating major philosophical divides through thought experiments like the Allegory of the Cave and the Experience Machine. The episode considers justice, autonomy, and the proper role of government. Join the conversation and decide which vision of society you find more compelling.[00:00] Introduction[00:30] Plato's Allegory of the Cave[01:30] Philosopher Kings and the Ideal State[03:28] Criticisms of Plato's Republic[18:54] Nozick's Experience Machine[24:04] The Minimal State and Taxation[26:14] Anarchy vs. State[36:12] Comparing Political Visions[47:14] Final Reflections

In this lecture, Stefan examines Ludovic Jullali's critique of anarcho-capitalism through the lens of Robert Nozick's philosophies. Jullali categorizes it as a "dangerous and contradictory doctrine," arguing that its intellectual shortcomings hinder its viability in practice. Jullali discusses natural rights, emphasizing the implications of mutual protection associations in a stateless society.Stefan contrasts voluntary private protection with state coercion, asserting that the competitive nature of markets limits any single agency's dominance. Stefan addresses economic inefficiencies of state systems and advocates for the evolution of protective agencies that prioritize prevention over reaction to crime. Throughout the lecture, he responds to critiques regarding external threats and competing legal systems, ultimately defending anarcho-capitalism as a framework that promotes individual rights and decentralized governance.Link to article: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374088008_A_Criticism_of_Anarcho-CapitalismGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its “wokeness.” In Coming Clean: The Rise of Critical Theory and the Future of the Left ( MIT Press, 2025), Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.

You may have heard of the critical brain hypothesis. It goes something like this: brain activity operates near a dynamical regime called criticality, poised at the sweet spot between too much order and too much chaos, and this is a good thing because systems at criticality are optimized for computing, they maximize information transfer, they maximize the time range over which they operate, and a handful of other good properties. John Beggs has been studying criticality in brains for over 20 years now. His 2003 paper with Deitmar Plenz is one of of the first if not the first to show networks of neurons operating near criticality, and it gets cited in almost every criticality paper I read. John runs the Beggs Lab at Indiana University Bloomington, and a few years ago he literally wrote the book on criticality, called The Cortex and the Critical Point: Understanding the Power of Emergence, which I highly recommend as an excellent introduction to the topic, and he continues to work on criticality these days. On this episode we discuss what criticality is, why and how brains might strive for it, the past and present of how to measure it and why there isn't a consensus on how to measure it, what it means that criticality appears in so many natural systems outside of brains yet we want to say it's a special property of brains. These days John spends plenty of effort defending the criticality hypothesis from critics, so we discuss that, and much more. Beggs Lab.

Dr. Gil Blander welcomes Dr. Daniel Durand, Chief Medical Officer at Prenuvo, to Longevity by Design for a deep dive into the future of preventative healthcare. Dr. Durand shares how full-body MRI is redefining early detection by making advanced imaging accessible, non-invasive, and radiation-free. He explains why MRI, as a soft tissue imaging modality, offers unmatched insight into early-stage cancers and chronic conditions.The conversation unpacks misconceptions around overdiagnosis and false positives, challenging the idea that “not knowing” is safer. Dr. Durand outlines how AI-enhanced imaging, paired with structured follow-up care, reduces unnecessary biopsies and improves diagnostic accuracy. He also discusses the emotional and systemic costs and benefits of proactive screening.Looking ahead, Dr. Durand envisions a healthcare model built on data, personalization, and patient empowerment. He argues that gathering better information, earlier, will shift the focus from treatment to prevention and help more people maintain peak health for longer. Guest-at-a-Glance
Can the Knicks win the first two in Boston? Boomer noted the Celtics' off night and injuries, highlighting the Villanova players' performance. While Boomer was happy with the Knicks' win, Gio insisted it doesn't preclude criticizing Towns. A reluctant woman now enjoys the show. Jerry's update included Tommy Lugauer's pre-Game 1 "Knicks in six" prediction, the Celtics missing 45 of 60 three-pointers, and Evan Roberts' reaction. The Yankees lost again due to Devin Williams' rough inning. The Mets won in Arizona despite bullpen struggles. The Islanders won the draft lottery. Game 2 is tomorrow in Boston, followed by a Saturday game at the Garden. Gio almost gave up watching when the Knicks were down 20.

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its College Football Conference Coach rankings with the Big Ten Conference. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down all 18 Big Ten Coaches and make sense of where they rank each coach and which ones have proven to be the best and which one need to earn it. Is Ryan Day or Dan Lanning the top coach in the Big Ten Conference? Where does one rank Sherrone Moore after just one season in Ann Arbor? Is Luke Fickell due for a big year or was the Cincinnati Bearcats run just a one hit wonder?Is Curt Cignetti worthy of one of the top spots after just one year at Indiana? Where should one rank Penn State's James Franklin who despite a great record has had his struggles against top notch competition? Is Bret Bielema one of the top coaches in the Big Ten after what he has done in Champaign, Illinois? Should the Iowa Hawkeyes build Kirk Ferentz a statue and where does he rank on our list? Has the Mike Locksley era been a disappointment in College Park, Maryland?Will Jedd Fisch get it going at Washington or was the Arizona gig just a one off? Did DeShaun Foster impress in year at UCLA one despite a losing record? Is Matt Rhule and Greg Schiano two of the best coaches in the conferences? Is Lincoln Riley worthy of the hype he gets or has he inherited great situations? Is Jonathan Smith a guy who will climb up the rankings in his 2nd year at Michigan State? Where does Northwestern's David Braun and Minnesota's PJ Fleck rank in all of this?
