A dramatic Saturday recall of Parliament delivers a last-minute reprieve for British Steel — but is it a genuine industrial strategy, or just another short-term fix? Meanwhile in Washington, President Trump promised to revive American manufacturing. But can you really rebuild the past — or is this economic cosplay doomed to fail? Broadcaster Albie Amankona and the IEA's Daniel Freeman join CapX's Marc Sidwell to ask a vital question — can Britain resist the noise and rediscover the quiet power of centre-right pragmatism? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For years, paranoia was seen a symptom of severe mental illness only. But in recent decades, some psychologists have begun to think about it differently. Daniel Freeman, PhD, author of “Paranoia: A Journey Into Extreme Mistrust and Anxiety,” discusses his research on the links between paranoia and other forms of mistrust and anxiety; why paranoid thoughts are relatively common; and new research on therapeutic treatments for paranoia.  Learn more about your ad choices.

After last week's stunning scenes in the White House, murmurs of President Zelensky's downfall are growing louder. Could he be sidelined in favour of a Kremlin-friendly puppet? Meanwhile, Washington hints that Britain could dodge tariffs with the right deal—but can London really bank on special treatment? And as BP shifts back to oil, is this a pragmatic market reset or the moment Big Energy turns its back on net zero? Marc Sidwell is joined by economist Cornelia Meyer and the IEA's Daniel Freeman to unpack the deals reshaping global markets. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the IEA Podcast, host Reem Ibrahim joins Tom Clougherty and Daniel Freeman to reflect on the economic and policy highlights and lowlights of 2024. The discussion kicks off with a critical analysis of the government's October budget and its impact on British businesses, followed by concerns about rising protectionism in America and the concerning trend of outdoor smoking bans and other nanny state interventions. The conversation then shifts to more positive developments, including Argentina's promising economic reforms under President Milei and his bold approach to cutting government spending and regulation. The team also discusses the influential UK Foundation essay that sparked important conversations about Britain's planning system and energy costs, and how these factors have contributed to the country's economic challenges. The episode concludes with an optimistic look at the post-election period and the revival of substantive discussions about conservative and free-market principles. The guests explore how recent political developments have led to more meaningful debates about the role of the state and economic freedom, even while acknowledging the challenges of turning these ideas into practical policy.

In this wall-to-wall budget special, Tom Clougherty, Daniel Freeman, and Dr. Kristian Niemietz break down Chancellor Rachel Reeves' first budget. They examine the major tax increases, including the significant rise in employer National Insurance contributions, changes to capital gains tax, and new measures affecting private schools. The team analyses how these changes impact Britain's economic competitiveness and discusses whether the budget's pro-growth rhetoric matches its actual contents. The discussion delves into the concerning trajectory of Britain's public finances, with both tax and spending set to be five percentage points of GDP higher than pre-pandemic levels by the end of the decade. The panel explores why this dramatic expansion of the state has occurred and whether it can be reversed, considering the limitations of previous attempts at spending restraint and the pressing need for meaningful public sector reform. Looking at the bigger picture, the team questions whether this budget represents a missed opportunity for comprehensive tax reform and meaningful economic change. They examine the similarities with previous Conservative budgets and discuss why the focus on public spending might not deliver the growth the government hopes for, particularly without substantial supply-side reforms in areas like planning and energy.

Daniel Freeman of the Institute of Economic Affairs interviews Professor Daniel Waldenström about his new book, "Richer & More Equal: A New History of Wealth in the West." Waldenström's research suggests that wealth inequality has decreased over the past century, with the middle class experiencing significant growth in wealth accumulation. The discussion covers changes in wealth composition, shifting from agricultural land and industrial shares to widespread homeownership and pension savings. Waldenström examines the effects of world wars and economic policies on wealth distribution, and compares European and American experiences of wealth concentration in recent decades. This conversation explores how wealth is measured, the impact of technological advancements, and the potential benefits of promoting homeownership and funded pension systems. Waldenström's work offers a different perspective on wealth creation and distribution, encouraging viewers to reconsider common assumptions about economic progress in the West. The interview provides an accessible look at wealth inequality trends for those interested in economic history and current debates. This is a public episode.

In this episode of the IEA Podcast, host Tom Clougherty and guests Daniel Freeman and Dr. Kristian Niemietz cover a range of topics: the closure of Britain's last coal-fired power station, the recent Conservative Party Conference, and the Mont Pelerin Society meeting in New Delhi. These discussions offer insights into energy policy, political strategy, and the future of classical liberal thought. The conversation begins with an analysis of the UK's energy landscape following the shutdown of its final coal power plant. The team explores the implications for Britain's economic competitiveness, the challenges of transitioning to renewable energy sources, and the potential role of nuclear power in ensuring a stable energy future. They discuss the broader impact on industries, the rising costs of electricity, and the need for a coherent energy strategy to support economic growth. Moving to politics, Clougherty shares his observations from the Conservative Party Conference, noting the surprisingly upbeat mood despite recent electoral defeats. The discussion delves into the party's internal debate about its future direction, analysing a pamphlet on "Conservatism in Crisis" released by Kemi Badenoch's campaign. Lastly, Dr. Niemietz provides insights from the Mont Pelerin Society meeting, explaining the organisation's history, its role in shaping classical liberal thought, and its relevance in addressing contemporary challenges.

In this episode of the IEA Podcast, Tom Clougherty and Matthew Lesh are joined by Daniel Freeman to explore three controversial topics: Nigel Farage's comments on Ukraine and NATO expansion, the potential implementation of road pricing in the UK, and the relationship between neoliberalism and populism. The panel offers nuanced analysis and challenges conventional wisdom, examining these complex issues from a classical liberal perspective. By delving deeper than typical political commentary, the hosts aim to provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the big ideas and foundational principles that underpin these current debates.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has proposed implementing VAT on private school fees if elected. The Institute of Economic Affairs hosted a debate weighing the pros and cons, with Max Marlow of the Adam Smith Institute arguing for the VAT exemption as education provides public benefits, while IEA's Daniel Freeman advocated applying VAT universally for a simpler tax base. The two free market think tankers delved into defining public goods, market distortions from tax exemptions, and impacts on private school enrollment if fees increase. Examining the philosophical role of the state vis-a-vis education and optimal tax policy principles, the lively exchange highlighted the nuances around this controversial issue.

Should we tax negative externalities like air pollution? Join us for a thought-provoking debate on one of London's most contentious policies, Sadiq Khan's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Andy Mayer, the Energy Analyst at the Institute of Economic Affairs, argues against the ULEZ scheme, emphasising its potential economic and social implications. On the other side of the debate, Daniel Freeman, Research Assistant at the Institute of Economic Affairs, makes the case for the ULEZ, highlighting its positive impact on environmental sustainability and public health. Moderating this debate is Reem Ibrahim, the Communications Officer and Linda Whetstone Scholar at the IEA.

On January 1st 1863, Daniel Freeman a Union Army scout, was scheduled to leave Gage County, Nebraska Territory to report for duty in St. Louis. At a New Year's Eve party the night before, Freeman met some local Land Office officials and convinced a clerk to open the office shortly after midnight in order to file a land claim. In doing so, Freeman became one of the first to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the Homestead Act, a law signed by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20th 1862.

Homestead National Historical Park near Beatrice, Nebraska, isn't that big, just 211 acres, but as the saying goes, it plays much, much bigger. Here you'll find the National Museum on Homesteading, historic buildings including the Palmer-Epard log cabin that despite its small size – just 14 feet by 16 feet – was home to a family of 12, along with agricultural equipment, genealogy research opportunities, an education center, hiking trails through 100 acres of restored tallgrass prairie and a burr oak forest. This is Kurt Repanshek, your host at the National Parks Traveler. On a warm, late June day I caught up with Jonathan Fairchild, the park historian, to learn a bit more about Daniel Freeman, the man generally accepted to have been the very first to take advantage of the Homestead Act. Freeman claimed the 160 acres in what at the time was the Nebraska Territory on January 1, 1863, the day The Homestead Act that Congress had passed the year before took effect. Freeman, who was a Union soldier at the time, didn't settle on the land until the end of the Civil War, in 1865, but he lived there until he died in 1908. Those 160 acres are the bulk of the setting for the historical park, though it's much changed from how it appeared during Freeman's life there. The National Park Service acquired the property in the 1930s and restored the farmed acres to tallgrass prairie. In a minute, I'll be back to take you across the landscape with Jonathan.

How much sleep do you need? Do you find that if you don't get enough shut-eye and wake up feeling dopey, you spend the rest of the day in a bad mood? I certainly need my eight hours a night and that's important according to research, because bad sleep isn't good for our health.你需要多少睡眠？你是否发现如果你没有得到足够的睡眠并且醒来时感到昏昏欲睡，你会在剩下的时间里心情不好？我当然需要每晚八小时，根据研究，这很重要，因为糟糕的睡眠对我们的健康不利。We all need a good night's rest to recharge our batteries, but according to the Sleep Council in the UK, the average Briton gets six-and-a-half hours sleep a night, which for most people is not enough. It's tempting to cut back on the sleep we get, after all there are plenty of other more fun or useful things to be doing. Sometimes the pressure of work or a long commute means that our head hits the pillow much later than it should. But lots of studies have shown that cutting back on sleep, deliberately or otherwise, can have a serious impact on our bodies.我们都需要好好休息来给自己充电，但根据英国睡眠委员会的数据，英国人平均每晚睡六个半小时，这对大多数人来说是不够的。减少我们的睡眠是很诱人的，毕竟还有很多其他更有趣或更有用的事情要做。有时，工作压力或长途通勤意味着我们的头撞到枕头的时间要晚得多。但大量研究表明，有意或无意地减少睡眠会对我们的身体产生严重影响。Studies have proved that sleep deprivation has a negative effect on our bodies but it can also have an effect on our mental health. A BBC programme called Trust Me, I'm a Doctor ran an experiment with the University of Oxford and was surprised to discover how quickly the mood of the people they were testing changed when their sleep was restricted to four hours a night for just three nights. Doctoral student, Sarah Reeve, who ran the experiment, said: "There were increases in anxiety, depression and stress, also increases in paranoia and feelings of mistrust about other people".研究证明，睡眠不足对我们的身体有负面影响，但也会影响我们的心理健康。一个名为“相信我，我是一名医生”的 BBC 节目与牛津大学进行了一项实验，并惊讶地发现当他们的睡眠时间被限制在每晚 4 小时，连续三个晚上时，他们的情绪变化得如此之快.进行该实验的博士生莎拉·里夫说：“焦虑、抑郁和压力增加了，偏执狂和对他人的不信任感也增加了”。This and other research into the mental health of students, has found that the lack of sleep increases our negative emotions. I know that when I'm sleep deprived, it is harder to feel positive about things or even think straight! Daniel Freeman, professor of clinical psychology at Oxford University, agrees that insomnia is bad for our brain. He says: "We have more negative thoughts when we're sleep-deprived and we get stuck in them".这项和其他对学生心理健康的研究发现，睡眠不足会增加我们的负面情绪。我知道当我睡眠不足时，很难对事情感到积极，甚至更难思考！牛津大学临床心理学教授丹尼尔弗里曼同意失眠对我们的大脑有害。他说：“当我们被剥夺睡眠并陷入其中时，我们会有更多的消极想法”。Bad sleep doesn't automatically mean you'll get mental health issues but other studies have shown that depriving people of enough sleep for only a few nights in a row can be enough to put healthy adults into a pre-diabetic state. So with all this evidence maybe we should concentrate on sleeping well. This means going to bed at a sensible time and creating the right environment in the bedroom to relax and sleep in. There's also the modern distraction of using smartphones and tablets at bedtime, tempting us to stay awake. The blue light emitted by electronic devices makes us feel less sleepy. And using them stimulates our brain when it should be winding down. What helps you get a good night's sleep?睡眠不好并不一定意味着你会出现心理健康问题，但其他研究表明，连续几个晚上剥夺人们足够的睡眠足以让健康的成年人进入糖尿病前期。因此，有了所有这些证据，也许我们应该专注于睡个好觉。这意味着在合理的时间上床睡觉，并在卧室创造合适的环境来放松和入睡。现代人在睡前使用智能手机和平板电脑也会分散注意力，诱使我们保持清醒。电子设备发出的蓝光使我们不那么困倦。当我们的大脑应该放松时，使用它们会刺激我们的大脑。什么可以帮助你睡个好觉？词汇表shut-eye 闭眼，睡眠wake up 醒来dopey 嗜睡的，迷迷糊糊的recharge our batteries 恢复我们的体力head hits the pillow 头挨枕头，睡觉cut back 减少sleep deprivation 睡眠不足mental health 心理健康anxiety 焦虑（症）paranoia 多疑，妄想症lack of sleep 缺觉negative emotions 负面情绪think straight 清楚地思考，思路清晰insomnia 失眠（症）pre-diabetic state 糖尿病前期状态sleepy 困的，瞌睡的stimulate 刺激wind down 平静下来，放松

#deeplearning #backpropagation #simulation More and more systems are made differentiable, which means that accurate gradients of these systems' dynamics can be computed exactly. While this development has led to a lot of advances, there are also distinct situations where backpropagation can be a very bad idea. This paper characterizes a few such systems in the domain of iterated dynamical systems, often including some source of stochasticity, resulting in chaotic behavior. In these systems, it is often better to use black-box estimators for gradients than computing them exactly. OUTLINE: 0:00 - Foreword 1:15 - Intro & Overview 3:40 - Backpropagation through iterated systems 12:10 - Connection to the spectrum of the Jacobian 15:35 - The Reparameterization Trick 21:30 - Problems of reparameterization 26:35 - Example 1: Policy Learning in Simulation 33:05 - Example 2: Meta-Learning Optimizers 36:15 - Example 3: Disk packing 37:45 - Analysis of Jacobians 40:20 - What can be done? 45:40 - Just use Black-Box methods Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.05803 Abstract: Differentiable programming techniques are widely used in the community and are responsible for the machine learning renaissance of the past several decades. While these methods are powerful, they have limits. In this short report, we discuss a common chaos based failure mode which appears in a variety of differentiable circumstances, ranging from recurrent neural networks and numerical physics simulation to training learned optimizers. We trace this failure to the spectrum of the Jacobian of the system under study, and provide criteria for when a practitioner might expect this failure to spoil their differentiation based optimization algorithms.

Claudia Hammond talks to Daniel Freeman, a clinical psychologist at the University of Oxford about a trial into a new talking treatment for people experiencing persecutory delusions. Called the Feeling Safe programme, the trial has had positive results and has transformed the lives for many of those receiving it, including Joe, one of the trial participants. Claudia talks to Professor Catherine Loveday about the lives and work of psychiatrists Aaron T Beck and Professor Sir Michael Rutter who have both died. She also talks to social psychologist, Fanny Lalot about how different signs at a railway level crossing in Canterbury might influence drivers to turn their engines off while they're waiting for the barriers to lift. Also in the programme, Professor Catherine Loveday talks about a new study looking at how taxi drivers brains help us understand and improve navigational skills. Producer Pamela Rutherford

Welcome to Freeman Bros, where Matt and Daniel Freeman discuss a variety of topics, a Patron-exclusive podcast show normally available for Doof Troopers and above. This week, we're joined this week by Chemistry Professor Michael. Michael listened to our previous Freeman Bros discussion of modern schooling and wanted to take a different tack by considering what young people can do to get the most out of the education system as it exists. Matt felt like Michael provided so much useful information about the education system that the right thing to do would be disseminate this episode more widely, in the hopes that others might get some value out of it.

If you commute by bus in Metro Vancouver and it feels like your trips are getting longer, you're not wrong. TransLink released a new report showing that 80 per cent of the bus routes it operates have gotten slower than they were five years ago, “due in part to increased roadway congestion and lack of sufficient bus priority.” That slowdown means longer transit times and waits, less reliable travel and increased overcrowding, says the report, noting it reduces the attractiveness of transit as a mode of transportation. Just before we came on-air, I spoke with Daniel Freeman, senior manager of bus priority projects at Translink. Here's our conversation.   Guest: Daniel Freeman Senior manager of bus priority projects at Translink

Prof Daniel Freeman, Professor of Clinical Psychology from the University of Oxford talks about using virtual reality to treat mental illness.

Daniel Freeman, clinical psychologist, is interviewed by Debs Barber. Daniel studied natural sciences at university but then discovered his passion for psychology. Working in mental health services in the NHS he spent a lot of time listening to the experiences of his patients. This inspired him to try and understand what causes mental health disorders, to develop better treatments. Now a world pioneer in using virtual reality (VR) technology, Daniel thinks it has the potential to change mental health treatment in the future. Over the past 15 years he’s worked with interdisciplinary teams of researchers and game designers to create virtual environments which help patients experiencing delusions cope better with challenging situations in their day to day lives. In a new study he’s testing automated VR treatment for psychosis, with the hope of enabling state-of-the-art VR therapy for mental health issues to be delivered by the NHS.

Clinical psychologist Daniel Freeman explores cases of delusion from the archives and speaks to people who have experienced them first-hand. In this programme, Daniel examines the most common type of delusion – paranoia. The incorrect belief that others are observing you and may be trying to harm you. Occasionally in the archives, cases emerge that allow us to see what such a delusion might have meant on an existential level for a person suffering from it. One of them is the case of James Tilly Matthews. A London tea broker who was committed to Bethlem psychiatric hospital in 1797, Tilly Matthews became convinced of an elaborate conspiracy involving the British establishment and a mind-controlling machine called the Air Loom. He is considered to be the first fully documented case of paranoid schizophrenia. Developing the understanding and treatment of paranoia has been the focus of Daniel's work as a clinical psychologist at the University of Oxford. Deciding whether to trust or mistrust is a vital aspect of human cognition, but accurate judgment of others' intentions is often challenging. At a cultural level, a fear of others is variably connected to the political and social climate. At the heart of the severest paranoia - persecutory delusions - is the unfounded belief in an ongoing threat from others. In people seen in clinical services with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, the fears can also be provoked by hearing negative voices (auditory hallucinations). Daniel meets Toby, who volunteered to share his own experience of a paranoid delusion, and the isolation that takes hold as a consequence.

Professor Daniel Freeman, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Oxford & Chief Clinical Officer at Oxford VR, tells us about his work using Virtual Reality to help people living with mental health difficulties.

Clinical psychologist Professor Daniel Freeman begins an exploration of delusions, looking at both historic and contemporary case studies. He hears first about the fourteen "Emperor Napoleons" who presented at Bicetre Asylum in Paris in 1840, the year Napoleon's body was returned to the city. This "Delusion of Grandeur", featuring Napoleon in particular, continued as an intriguing phenomenon for many decades afterwards. "That first day we found him dressed elegantly, head held high, with a proud, haughty air; his tone was that of command, and his least gestures indicated power and authority. He soon informed us that he was the Emperor of France, with millions in riches, that Louis Philippe was his chancellor, etc. Then... he pompously recited verses of his own commission, in which he allocated kingdoms, settled the affairs of Belgium and Poland, etc. During the day he smashed everything because people would not obey his every order." Charenton Asylum, Paris. Register of Medical Observations. Patient admitted June 10th 1831. Daniel Freeman also meets a woman who experienced a "Delusion of Grandeur" in more recent years, and hears her first-hand account of believing for a time that she was Christ. Producers: Victoria Shepherd and Eve Streeter A Greenpoint production for BBC Radio 4
