This week's episode isn't one Tarini and Nadine thought they'd be recording. If you had told them even just a year ago that they'd be talking about the REAL secret (which is that the secret isn't real- iykyk) they'd have told you to stop speaking negativity into existence (lol they hate themselves too). But we are all about ✨growth✨ here at YKWIM and three years into a pandemic has given Nadine and Tarini time (too much, one might even say) to rethink just about everything. And one of those things is the power of manifestation and positive thinking. As a follow up to their previous episode “The Power Of Positive Thinking”, listen to this week's episode wherever you stream your podcasts, watch on YouTube at You Know What I Mean?

The job market is competitive these days, to say the least. If your company has been trying to hire younger water treaters and you haven't had much success in the recruiting process, I have the perfect podcast guest for you to learn from. Her name is Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang, and she is a college professor turned entrepreneur, education consultant, and career and life coach with more than 15 years of experience in education. For most of her life, Dr. Ai has been teaching and because of her innate ability to inspire Millennials and Generation Z, she is uniquely qualified to educate water treatment hiring managers and business owners on what we need to know before we schedule interviews with individuals from these two generations.  Dr. Ai  founded Classroom Without Walls (CWW) in 2017 to normalize learning beyond the four walls of a classroom. CWW created a new model in learning that includes the elements of online learning (classes + digital mentors), certification earning, and in-person enrichment. Dr. Ai is also the host of the two live-streaming shows: Classroom Without Walls which focuses on social media and digital marketing; and What Is School For? which was inspired by Dr. Ai's interview with author and entrepreneur Seth Godin, and aims to discuss, debate, and disrupt education.  Today's interview focuses on how we should attract and recruit Millennials and Generation Z to work at your company so that it is a win-win relationship for you and your new hires.   Bottom line: Dr. Ai is going to share how we can attract and hire the next generation of water treaters.

In 1996, City Harvest Church embarked on a mission to be a “Church Without Walls”, reaching out to the poor, needy and marginalised of society with the love of Jesus. In this sermon, Kong Hee explains that Christlikeness is loving God and our neighbor (Mt 22:37-40), and believers are called to do like Jesus, who demonstrated His “upside down way” of authentic discipleship, primarily valuing and caring for those who cannot fend for themselves, particularly children. Pastor Kong calls CHC to answer the call once again to be a church without walls, by helping children and the elderly in volunteer efforts the next five months. Listen to the powerful testimonies by those lives have been transformed by CWW and decide to make a difference today!

Betsy Housten is a poet and nonfiction writer out of the CWW. I love her work so I had her on the podcast. We talk about bodies, skydiving, and writing. It's the kind of talk I'm really happy to share. Read Betsy's great essay on Bruce Springsteen here: https://bit.ly/2xydTQ8

Maurice is an alum of the CWW, and his novel We Cast A Shadow is forthcoming next year. He's smart, knowledgeable, and I like the cut of his jib. Our talk covered everything from New Orleans to the Smashing Pumpkins to gentrification to race. Really great stuff here.

For many sick people, getting even a temporary break from pain sounds too good to be true. But this week we hear from three people who did get a reprieve from a chronic disease, sometimes in very unconventional ways. One of our listeners, Allison, struggled with severe, undiagnosed depression in her twenties. She hooked up with a no-good boyfriend who got her into a dangerous habit: heroin. Today, she’s 57 and she knows the guy and the drugs were trouble. But she also says heroin had a surprising side effect. Sara Benincasa is a stand-up comedian who grapples with agoraphobia, a fear of crowds and busy places. But during a trip to the Netherlands she encountered a place that changed how she faces this fear, and helped her see what life could look like when she wasn’t scared to leave the house. Hanna wrote into us with a really intimate story about life with ulcerative colitis, an incurable disease with some difficult side effects. When traditional treatments failed, she and her mom tried an experiment that changed how Hanna thinks about her body and her daily life.

Image: A rendering of Minik in the New York World When Robert Peary brought six Inuits from Greenland back from his Arctic expedition, they landed in the care of the American Museum of Natural History. Among these people were an eight year old boy named Minik and his father Qisuk.After Qisuk became ill and died, the museum staged a fake burial and put his remains in the museum as artifacts. This is part one of a two-part series on dead bodies in museums.NOTES: Give Me My Father's Body: The Life of Minik, the New York Eskimo - The work on which most of this episode is based. Regarding the Dead: Human Remains in the British Museum - The British Museum creates guidelines for displaying dead bodies. American Experience .

This is the latest installment of "Question of Note," in which we take a listener's question — your question! — and find just the right the person (or people) to answer it. See them all here as we go along. Got a Question of Note you'd like answered? Email notetoself@wnyc.org with a voice memo. Here's how to record one.  Some people call it the "echo chamber effect." Others worry about filter bubbles or homophily. Every once in awhile you'll hear hands wringing over birds of a feather. Or you could just say it like listener Anid Chan in Portland: "I have a concern about personalized feeds. There is so much information out there, but I know that most of what I see are opinions and voices like my own. I worry this makes us more judgmental about other people, because most of what we believe gets emphasized by people who think the same way. How do we break out of the bubble?" Anid is right. We are more likely to have friends who are similar to us in age, education, occupation, and location. Channel that truth through the ever-present intersections of race, gender, nationality, ability, sex, and class, and, yes, it can get vulnerable and uncomfortable and even ugly. Cocoons form – comfortable and multi-platform cocoons, because we are also most likely to click on, like, or comment on things we already agree with. Then, because they want us to have positive experiences with their products, many of the social networks we use assume we want to see more of whatever it is we've chosen to click. The algorithms learn to reward opinions or people they think we'll like. In a company-sponsored study of 10.1 million of the most partisan American users on Facebook, researchers found that people's networks of friends and the stories they see are skewed toward their ideological preferences, though there are different interpretations as to why. Twitter too: an NYU political scientist found that about two-thirds of the people followed by the median Twitter user in the United States share the user's political leanings.  Happy almost-election season, right? Which brings us back to Anid's question. What does it really take to put more diversity - however you define it - into your news feeds? We asked two people working to do this for BuzzFeed - yes, the news website known for cat video and listicles. But the reason you know about them is because Buzzfeed spends a ton of energy figuring out what gets shared, why, and in which communities.  Katie Notopoulos is co-host of BuzzFeed's Internet Explorer podcast. She was the force behind #UnfollowAMan (which is exactly what it sounds like). Tracy Clayton is co-host of the BuzzFeed podcast Another Round, and one of the driving forces behind the CocoaButterBF initiative, designed to make BuzzFeed a little bit less monochromatic. They joined Manoush to talk about their work digging into the deepest corners of the Internet, thinking about their audiences, and figuring out what to elevate on one of the biggest platforms out there.  And for the average Internet reader? Here are some tips from Tracy and Katie: 1. Try. Acknowledge that there is a problem. To quote: "I... often come across the person who is like 'hey, you know, can you help me find a black writer to write about this, or an Asian writer to write about this, like I just don't know where to start,' and in addition to just sort of general cluelessness, [it also suggests] just, like, laziness. You know this is something that you have to try to do. You don't necessarily have to try really hard, but you do have to try. So start with trying, and then graduate to Google, and then see where you end up." 2. Keep your not-quite-friends on your friends list. Look them up occasionally. Facebook says your "weak ties" are a good way to get range. According to the company, 23 percent of users' friends are of an opposing political affiliation. If you look them up every once in awhile, the algorithm is more likely to filter a wider range of posts and updates into your feed. So go ahead and stalk your high school ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend's mother you friended on a whim. It'll be good for your worldview. And on a more serious note? If they say something offensive, don't necessarily unfriend. We made a flowchart for you here. 3. Click on one link you're only semi-interested in once a week (or more). Katie says a good feed should be "10 percent infuriating." But this doesn't have to be a hate click. Just a conscious effort to convince the Facebook or Google algorithms into thinking your interests are broader than they perhaps even are. Make a game of it. See what happens. Report back. 4. Unfollow one person whose perspective you know a little too well. Follow someone else instead. Take Katie's lead and #UnfollowAMan. Or a white person, or a Democrat, or a Republican, or a 30-something, or a New Yorker... whatever applies. The key is to replace him thoughtfully.  Here are some of Katie and Tracy's suggestions in a Twitter list.  And here are a few more solid curation feeds we've been into these days. This is obviously not a comprehensive list and suggestions are always welcome: Global Voices Online (@globalvoices) reported.ly (@reportedly) Across Women's Lives (@womenslives) Microaggressions (@microaggressive) 5. When you sign up for a new service, choose broad categories. There's always a new "it thing." When you try them out, treat them all a little differently. Katie uses the example of Apple News: "When you first sign up, it asks you 'what categories of news do you want?' And that's a really daunting question, but it's funny because I'm so used to like, 'I follow these outlets already and these people,' and so this was, 'here's a totally new app that's going give me a totally different experience.' Immediately I was seeing articles by outlets that I don't normally read." Basically, this tip boils down to "when you try something new, really try something new. Even if you don't stick with the service, you can discover new people in the process. 6. Join a public group. New perspectives on politics and the world don't necessarily come from political websites or world commentary. Sometimes, joining a public group about a lighter, more social topic is the best way to see what people are really talking about, and to teach your social networks that your interests can encompass more types of people. Katie recommends Dogspotting. Which is also exactly what it sounds like. You'll see new names, new people, new communities, and new languages. And dogs. A dog in Canberry, Australia. (Danielle Griffiths/Dogspotting) 7. Embrace your inner fly on the wall. Sometimes, the metric of success here is finding conversations that allow you to just listen, and not say anything at all. Tracy says one of the takeaways from hosting Another Round – a podcast in which she and her co-host Heben Nigatu talk about race pretty frequently – has been the reaction of white listeners: "We get a lot of emails white listeners, that say, 'you know what I'm just so glad to be able to sit in on these conversations... I've never had access to them before.' And I think that Twitter allows you the same sort of distance from really intimate conversations. I feel like people on Twitter are more likely to talk more candidly [about things] that concern them and their lives and their own personal experiences with people who have a shared reality."

It finally happened: David and Tamler welcome special guest Joshua Weisberg to the podcast to talk about Turing machines, Chinese Rooms, and AI. What does it mean for a machine to acquire intelligence? What is the proper test? How much processing power would it take? Do computers shed light on how human beings think? Why is John Searle trapped in a Chinese room, anyway? Plus, a spoiler-filled discussion (beginning at 58:20) of the recent movie Ex Machina. David tries to assert his feminist bonafides but Tamler takes Eva's side, proving once again that he is the real feminist. And we have a quick 5-minute discussion of Mr. Robot Episode 4 (beginning at 1:24) and respond to a couple of emails from the authors of the Inside Out article we discussed in our previous episode. LinksTuring Test [wikipedia.org]Chinese Room thought experiment [wikipedia.org]Artificial Intelligence [wikipedia.org]Weisberg, J.
