Today two anonymous friends of the podcast, Indian Bronson and "Hannah" join Erik Torenberg to make their moral case for Donald Trump. They discuss why swapping Kamala Harris for Joe Biden could cause a "reprise of Obama 2012", the immigration restrictionist viewpoint, and the "aesthetic baggage" that often comes along with the radical leaders capable of ushering in change.

"Nehru and Ambedkar represented two very different visions of the way Buddhism could be imagined. Buddhism is a full-fledged revolution for Ambedkar and Nehru's government was not comfortable with that sort of vision of Buddhism. [Similarly] there is a fracture between the Ambedkarite vision of Buddhism and SN Goenka's vision, in which you can be a Hindu or Christian and still practise Vipassana. It unfolds in a wider ecumenical, secularised idea of what a modern India could be like, and I think those two trajectories are really difficult to reconcile. In its totality, what I really wanted to do was paint a picture of all walks of Buddhist life -- the lives of labourers who were inspired to convert to Buddhism, of intellectuals, of both Sanatan Hindus, who had a certain vision of Buddhism, as well as liberal, more secular-minded Hindus, of progressives, Leftists and Right Wing figures... I wanted to understand the whole composite picture of what Buddhism looked like during this broader period of time."

Ilya Kravtsov, Founder of Ringkas, and Jeremy Au discuss three primary topics: 1. Ilya's Entrepreneurial Journey: Ilya elaborates on wrapping up his time at his last company, building a new startup, and how he approached the quest to find a compatible co-founder. He emphasizes the importance of aligned values, mutual respect, and complementary skills when looking for a co-founder. He also shares how he and his cofounder used an experimental approach in identifying the right business vertical to enter and engaged in a thorough process of testing and validating to understand the market gaps and opportunities better. 2. Indonesia's Property Landscape: Ilya delves deep into his latest venture, Ringkas, which emerges as a solution to the intricacies of the Indonesian property market by streamlining it, offering potential homeowners clarity and guidance. He talks about the challenges of the property market like the varying interest rates, the nuances between primary and resale markets, and the cumbersome mortgage loan process. He also emphasizes the importance of robust market data in understanding rental returns and the complexities homeowners face in the country's tangled mortgage process. 3. Southeast Asia's Diverse Cultural Fabric: Ilya and Jeremy talk about Southeast Asia's rich cultural diversity where every country, city, and community offers its own unique set of experiences. Ilya advises folks new to the region to immerse themselves in the local culture. He discusses how people should step out of their comfort zones and explore other cities besides the metropolises like Jakarta or Singapore since they do not encapsulate the entirety of what the region has to offer. He underscores that understanding local nuances, such as in business regulations or consumer behaviors, is vital for anyone aiming to succeed in the region.  They also talk about understanding varied GDP per capita across Southeast Asian nations, the evolving regulatory dynamics in the business realm, the intricacies of starting a business amidst a global pandemic, and the evolution of the startup ecosystem in the region and its comparisons with global counterparts.  Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/ilya-kravtsov2 Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/CeL3ywi7yOWFd8HTo6yzde Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyAu Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/brave-southeast-asia-tech-singapore-indonesia-vietnam/id1506890464 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZC5jby9icmF2ZWR5bmFtaWNz TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea Learn more about Ringkas here: https://www.ringkas.co.id #Indonesia #PropertyMarket #Mortgages #Localization #CulturalDiversity #startups #founder #businesstransition #southeastasia

African Americans, like Native Americans, are the only ethnic and cultural groups that did not come to British North America or the United States of America in eager pursuit of the American Dream. Is it coincidental that these are the only two such groups that do not follow the typical pattern of generational immigrant assimilation into the mainstream of American society? Given all of this, what can save people so mightily plagued by persistent poverty?Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Idaho Speaks is a listener supported production.  Please visit idahospeaks.com/support to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More. This week's guest is Rachel Lucero. She is the host and creator of The Sago Show—a Filipino food show that seeks to examine the intricate intersectionality of culture, history, and education through creative & authentic Filipino food recipes. Rachel is a Filipino-American and, as a former Teach For America corps member, she shares a strong passion and commitment for education and social justice, especially for those who are marginalized and underserved. She currently works full-time as a business analyst and she continues to find ways to create more expansive and insightful content on her Youtube Channel—The Sago Show—by studying different slices of Filipino history and food culture. With her bachelor's in bioengineering and M.S. in education from John Hopkins University, Rachel found her unique calling on Youtube by combining her interest in cultural competency, technology, and pop culture—all through creating snack-size videos and reels on Instagram. The perfect cross-section between entertainment and education. In only a year, The Sago Show has grown to nearly 1,100 subscribers on Youtube and more than 70,000 views on social media, while maintaining strong & ongoing content engagement. You can find her latest featured interview article: “Filipino Food Has a New Spokesperson” in Eater Magazine. Rachel's increased exposure through her brand also allowed her to give numerous public speeches this past year at USC and to the Association of Filipino Scientists in America, which helped her realize the power of her voice. Through this realization, Rachel became more mindful and intentional with her brand and the ways she could also help elevate the voices of those who need elevated. We believe Rachel beautifully embodies the Discover More ethos of the curious mindset, and we are beyond excited to have this conversation with her.

In his work KV explores themes of war migration and cultural assimilation through a re-examination of his parents' experience of the Vietnam war and his own experience of growing up in Canada in a minority immigrant family. War trauma and integration are correlated with the artist's coming out as a gay Asian man. I first came to know KV soon after he curated and produced a group online show, Transient for ArtCan, who we are both members of. Since then we have had many chats on Instagram, discussing each other's paintings and what we see in them. KV  has been amazing introducing me to so many new ideas, its hardly surprising he has his own Instagram IGTV series, Art and Ideas. In this show we talk loft spaces and performances, melting pots of cultural  influences between Asia and Europe. We discuss the importance of mindset in relation to tennis. KV talks of War, expression  and his experiences. He also takes us on an incredible journey  on his artist vision of a  perfect collaboration that hits all your senses all at once.  KV's Three Artists Artworks for Company on Art Seeker Island are:By a woman : Marina Abramovic – The Artist is Present @maria_abramovicOf cultural significance : Haigia Sophia in IstanbalA free choice: Giant wall pieces by Anselm Kiefer @anselm_kieferLufi's Library Book Swap:Borrowing: Conflict Time Photography by Simon Baker Tate publication Swapping with:  The Girl in The Picture by Denise Chong Dream Collaboration :Team Lab @teamlabhttps:www.teamlab.art/You can find KV Website : www.kvduong.comInstagram: @kvduongart @create4charity @artcanorg Instagram IGTV Lives : Art and Ideas, every Saturday at 10am @kvduongart

Welcome back to another episode of Explicit Intelligence featuring Ms. Begine, Mizterkool and Maddie Monroe. In this episode: Jaywalking in California while Black, Cultural Assimilation, Cultural Appropriation, "Hood Names & Resumes" and more. Black HR Professional: We Judge Hood-Sounding Names On Resumes, Hide Your Real Names To Get In The Door. Your resume may be too “hood” for some job recruiters? A Black HR professional went online to warn job candidates that they should be whitening up their resumes by deleting references to their race, and research has proven the strategy pays off. Saying she was “just trying to keep it real,” “Tips from the HR department.Hood names on resumes. Listen, are we judging you, yes we are. I'm just trying to keep it real. When we see a name that's hard to pronounce… We are judging you by your name first…If you have a middle name that is maybe less hood, do your initial, your middle name, and last name. It will get you in the door…” Others tweeted that they felt the information was helpful. One user wrote, “The Black ppl commenting on her being elitists Or classist when she's giving everyone an insiders perspective and free game is why Black ppl can't get ahead. You have to get your foot in the door to spark real change not just be angry and scream injustice from outside the door” Others said “This type of rhetoric is what enables discrimination in the work place and it has got to stop. What are your overall thoughts? Do you agree or disagree? Thank you for listening.

Greg and Ed dive into a great question for expats in Thailand: to what extent are you actually integrated into mainstream Thai culture? Greg posted a quick survey on our Facebook page and uses some responses as a jumping-off point for discussion.  Ed begins by guessing he’s probably a 5 on a scale of 1-10. He never socializes with only Thai people, but has good enough Thai language that he can handle himself on his own in the city. He does note though that Thailand may be different than some Western countries, in that there may be a level of assimilation that Thai people don’t really want foreigners to achieve. Greg states he’s probably a 5 or 6. His Thai is getting better and he sometimes attends family events that are 100% Thai, but still...by this point he should be busting out soliloquies in the park!  Greg then reads a number of quotes from listeners about their relative absorption into Thai society with a variety of answers, but most long-timers seem to come at the 4-6 range.  Don’t forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. And we’ll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

What is the secret message behind this movie? Are black women only successful if they assimilate to mainstream culture and values?

We talk to Avraj and Kavneet Chaggar about cultural assimilation and how they adjusted to the cultural differences when they moved from Kenya to England in early 2004. Integrating into unfamiliar communities can be daunting and challenging. People often feel as if they have to compromise their culture, beliefs and identity in order to be accepted by the dominant culture. Can we maintain our heritage and still integrate with Western culture? Listen and find out!

Ferengi Virtue Ethics.  From the fur-wearing, whip-wielding villains of the early seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation to the more developed and nuanced Ferengi in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, profit is the underlying motive for practically all Ferengi action. In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison discuss Ferengi virtue ethics, or which character traits uniquely define the Ferengi. But is this drive for profit an essential biological or psychological Ferengi instinct, or is the drive for profit a culturally reinforced learned behavior?

Federation Exceptionalism.   In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling are joined by Duncan Barrett, co-author of Star Trek: The Human Frontier, to discuss the concept of exceptionalism in Star Trek. Mike, Zachary, and Duncan consider various forms of exceptionalism, both here in the real world and in the Star Trek universe. Are humans exceptional lifeforms with unique properties and abilities compared to other life forms here on Earth? In the Star Trek universe, do humans have unique or exceptional abilities compared to members of various alien species? Is the Federation an exceptional political entity compared with neighboring political organizations such as the Romulan Empire or the Ferengi Alliance? How does Federation Exceptionalism compare and contrast with so-called American Exceptionalism? And is there a positive sense of exceptionalism that can avoid the pitfalls of superiority, cultural assimilation, colonialism, and hegemony while allowing for genuine progress toward Federation ideals of liberty, diplomacy, and self-determination?   Chapters  Welcome to Episode 46 (00:01:07)  Introducing Duncan Barrett and Initial Thoughts on Exceptionalism (00:02:04)  Are Humans Exceptional?
