If you're looking for a podcast episode that feels like a "pick me up" that is still real enough to exclude the toxic positivity, THIS IS IT. For Our Clue In Segment, Chidinma shares her current reading list including Danielle Allen's Plus Size Players . For the Main Segment, Chidinma is joined by the Founder of Silkenn and Host of the Boss Babe Reset Podcast, Ericka Parker.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is predicted to transform many aspects of our lives in the coming years. One of these is the functioning of the democratic system. AI could shift how election campaigns are conducted and how citizens receive and process information. It could also fundamentally alter patterns of power across society. So what potential effects of AI on democracy should we be particularly aware of? To what degree are there opportunities as well as dangers? And how should policy-makers respond? We discussed these questions with an expert panel.Speakers:Danielle Allen, James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University, specialising in political philosophy, public policy, and ethics, and Founder and Chairperson of Partners In Democracy.Helen Margetts, Professor of Society and the Internet at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, and Director of the Public Policy programme at the Alan Turing Institute.Ciaran Martin, Professor of Practice in the Management of Public Organisations at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and formerly Chief Executive of the UK government's National Cyber Security Centre.Chair: Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution UnitAdditional reading:'The Real Dangers of Generative AI' by Danielle Allen and E.

Tonight on The Last Word: Republicans scramble over cuts in Donald Trump's budget bill. Also, Vladimir Putin hosts China's Xi Jinping and North Korea generals at a military parade. Plus, an anti-democracy blogger gains influence in the Trump White House. And Pope Francis spoke forcefully for migrants' humanity. Rep. Eric Swalwell, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (ret.), Danielle Allen, and Bishop Mark Seitz join Ali Velshi.

https://tlh.villagesquare.us/event/america-fourth/Riffing along with our civic hero Dr. Danielle Allen, you have to start with basic agreements that are foundational (nonviolence as a basic norm, a supermajority for constitutional democracy, and full inclusion for all citizens). We're also wondering if the secret to a healthy America is to… wait for it… put “America Fourth!” Perhaps too much of our lives are now wrapped up in this life or death, us v. them struggle for us to be happy people. According to political scientist Eitan Hersh, this is making us insufferable “political hobbyists” who need to get a life? What if we can rediscover other higher loves — faith, family, art, travel, Star Wars trivia, whatever floats your particular boat. And in finding our loves again, maybe we even find each other?

Danielle Allen and Mark Fagan say that when tested, thoughtfully deployed, and regulated AI actually can help governments serve citizens better. Sure, there is no shortage of horror stories these days about the intersection of AI and government—from a municipal chatbot that told restaurant owners it was OK to serve food that had been gnawed by rodents to artificial intelligence police tools that misidentify suspects through faulty facial recognition. And now the Trump administration and Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE say they are fast-tracking the use of AI to root out government waste and fraud, while making public virtually no details about what tools they are using or how they'll be deployed. But Allen and Fagan, say that while careless deployment creates risks like opening security holes, exacerbating inefficiencies, and automating flawed decision-making, AI done the right way can help administrators and policymakers make better and smarter decisions, and can make governments more accessible and responsive to the citizens they serve. They also say we need to reorient our thinking from AI being a replacement for human judgement to a partnership model, where each brings its strengths to the table. Danielle Allen is an HKS professor and the founder of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation. Mark Fagan is a lecturer in public policy and faculty chair of the Delivering Public Services section of the Executive Education Program at HKS. They join PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli to explain the guidelines, guardrails, and principles that can help government get AI right. Policy Recommendations:Danielle Allen's Policy Recommendations:* Support the "people's bid" for TikTok and generally promote an alternative, pro-social model for social media platforms.* Establish AI offices in state governments: Create offices that use AI to enhance openness, accountability, and transparency in government.Mark Fagan's Policy Recommendations:* Implement "sandbox" spaces for regulatory experimentation that allow organizations to test different policy ideas in a controlled environment to see what works.* Adopt a risk-based regulatory approach similar to the EU that categorize AI regulations based on risk levels, with clear guidelines on high-risk activities where AI use is prohibited versus those where experimentation is allowed. Danielle Allen is the James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University. She is a professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy and director of the Democratic Knowledge Project and of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation. She is also a seasoned nonprofit leader, democracy advocate, national voice on AI and tech ethics, and author. A past chair of the Mellon Foundation and Pulitzer Prize Board, and former dean of humanities at the University of Chicago, she is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and American Philosophical Society. Her many books include the widely acclaimed Talking to Strangers: Anxieties of Citizenship Since Brown v Board of Education;  Our Declaration: a reading of the Declaration of Independence in defense of equality; Cuz: The Life and Times of Michael A.; Democracy in the Time of Coronavirus; and Justice by Means of Democracy. She writes a column on constitutional democracy for the Washington Post. Outside the University, she is a co-chair for the Our Common Purpose Commission and Founder and President for Partners in Democracy, where she advocates for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy, and to drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all. She holds Ph.Ds from Harvard University in government and from King's College, University of Cambridge, in classics; master's degrees from Harvard University in government and King's College, University of Cambridge in classics; and an AB from Princeton in classics.Mark Fagan is a lecturer in public policy and former senior fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School.

(Given that yesterday was the 4 year anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, an attempted violent disruption of the peaceful transfer of power, one of our nation's most cherished traditions, we thought it would be a good time to refresh our conversation with Prof. Danielle Allen who has been ensconced in the work of renovating our democratic institutions.)   Our democracy is brittle. Many would say our Constitutional Republic is in trouble. So what kind of work can we do on "actually renovating our institutions"?   We were fortunate to be joined by Dr. Danielle Allen, a democracy advocate, Harvard professor and nonprofit leader who's doing something about it. We talked about how to maintain a loving spirit when faced with "a lot of bleeps"; Danielle's fascinating family legacy and her "obsession" with democracy; what the heck a eudaemonist democratic pragmatist is; the ways the 5 freedoms articulated in the 1st Amendment are under threat; the merits of ranked choice voting, expanding the House of Representatives and other democratic renovations; the imperative of developing a civic portfolio; and how to "not let our differences take our humanity hostage."   Prof. Danielle Allen is James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University.

Following the release of its issue on The University, SAPIR brought together leaders and experts from academia, philanthropy, and Jewish organizational life for a convening focused on identifying practical solutions to the serious challenges facing higher education. That gathering began with a panel discussion titled First Principles: The Purpose of the University, featuring Harvard University professor Danielle Allen and social psychologist and author, Jonathan Haidt. The conversation was moderated by Maimonides Fund Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi David Wolpe and explored why trust had diminished in institutions of higher education and what could be done to restore their values and faith in them. SAPIR Institute Director Chanan Weissman delivered opening remarks, a condensed version of which you will hear in this recording. This SAPIR Conversation was recorded live in New York City on December 16, 2024.

My guest today is Allison Stanger. Allison is a Middlebury Distinguished Endowed Professor; an Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University; the Co-Director (with Danielle Allen) of the GETTING-Plurality⁠ Research Network, Harvard University; founding member of the Digital Humanism Initiative (Vienna); and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. Allison's next book, Who Elected Big Tech? is under contract with Yale University Press. In this conversation, Allison and I delve into the political science surrounding large tech companies. We explore their effects on consumers and democracy, the interplay between capitalism and democracy, the dangers of fragmented regulation, what the effective governance of social media entails, how to scale and measure it, potential areas of cooperation with China, and the relevance of public choice theory, complexity science, and power laws in shaping our understanding of technology. I hope you enjoy our discussion. *** References Stanger, Allison. "The Real Cost of Surveillance Capitalism: Digital Humanism in the United States and Europe."

In this conversation with Writer’s Voice host Francesca Rheannon, political theorist Danielle Allen talks about two core ideas at the heart of our nation’s Declaration of Independence: freedom and liberty. How are they aligned? How are they different? And can they contradict each other? Listen to a clip on YouTube We re-air our 2014 interview … Continue reading July 4 Special: Danielle Allen, OUR DECLARATION →

In 2014, Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Danielle Allen about her newly published book, OUR DECLARATION: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality. Featured on the front page of the New York Times, her book publisher writes in its description of the book: "Our Declaration is already regarded as a seminal work that reinterprets the promise of American democracy through our founding text. Combining a personal account of teaching the Declaration with a vivid evocation of the colonial world between 1774 and 1777, Allen, a political philosopher renowned for her work on justice and citizenship reveals our nation's founding text to be an animating force that not only changed the world more than two-hundred years ago, but also still can. Challenging conventional wisdom, she boldly makes the case that the Declaration is a document as much about political equality as about individual liberty."Danielle Allen is James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University and director of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. She is a professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy.

Danielle Allen is the author of Justice by Means of Democracy. She is also the James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University and Director of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. We discuss power sharing liberalism as a new paradigm in the practice of democracy.   Whether it's through ballot measures to introduce ranked choice voting or open primaries, we are experiencing great innovation in democratic practice that make it more possible for us to bring our whole selves and to share political power within US democracy. Power sharing liberalism centers around the lived human experience, which needs foundations for flourishing. To that end, the economy should serve the ends of human flourishing. Allen envisions a “dynamic economy that supports people in their lives and to support people in their lives requires supporting their empowerment politically as well as supporting them materially.”    Follow Danielle on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/dsallentess    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Sponsor:  Thanks to Shopify for supporting Future Hindsight!

Our democracy is brittle. Many would say our Constitutional Republic is in trouble. So what kind of work can we do on "actually renovating our institutions"?   We were fortunate to be joined by Dr. Danielle Allen, a democracy advocate, Harvard professor and nonprofit leader who's doing something about it. We talked about how to maintain a loving spirit when faced with "a lot of bleeps"; Danielle's fascinating family legacy and her "obsession" with democracy; what the heck a eudaemonist democratic pragmatist is; the ways the 5 freedoms articulated in the 1st Amendment are under threat; the merits of ranked choice voting, expanding the House of Representatives and other democratic renovations; the imperative of developing a civic portfolio; and how to "not let our differences take our humanity hostage."   Prof. Danielle Allen is James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University. She is a professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy and director of the Democratic Knowledge Project and of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation. Outside the University, she is a co-chair for the Our Common Purpose Commission and Founder and President for Partners In Democracy, where she advocates for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy, and to drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all.   Let us know what you think.

Happy New Year! We're starting off 2024 with a conversation about finding hope in politics. We often hear from listeners that our show brings feelings of hope, and this episode is no exception.Rep. Derek Kilmer of Washington state joins us for a discussion on the Building Civic Bridges Act, a bipartisan bill that would provide funding for service projects aimed at bridging divides and reducing political polarization. We also discuss his work on the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress, which invited experts like Danielle Allen and Lee Drutman to discuss reforms including multi-member districts and increasing the size of the House of Representatives.It's hard to listen to Kilmer without feeling at least a little hopeful about where politics might go in the coming year. We hope this episode will help you start 2024 on a good note.

Dr. John Vervaeke and Greg Thomas engage in a nuanced conversation that spans the realms of philosophy, music, and culture. With an emphasis on the blues, jazz, and democracy, they examine how to be a "radical moderate" in today's polarized society. They explore the rich interplay between music and philosophy, delving into topics such as the sacredness of music, the musicality of being, and the role of music in democracy. Their collaborative spirit is a testament to the transformative power of cross-disciplinary dialogue. As they tackle topics like race, culture, and cosmic responsibility, they bring fresh insights into how we can harmonize disparate elements of human experience.   Resources   Greg Thomas: Website | X | YouTube John Vervaeke: Website | Patreon | Facebook | X | YouTube   The Vervaeke Foundation Jazz Leadership Project Jazz Leadership Project Blog Hemingway, Politics, and Wisdom Charlie Parker's Higher Octave Can Civic Jazz Resolve Our American Dilemma?   Greg Thomas — YouTube Greg Thomas: “The Ralph Ellison-Albert Murray Continuum”   Voices with Vervaeke — YouTube Aletheia Coaching - profound self-unfoldment rather than self-improvement w/ Steve March John Vervaeke & Greg Thomas Series: Jazz as Embodied Art and an Ecology of Practice | Deep Dive: Race, Culture, Jazz, and Democracy #1 Democracy as Antagonistic Cooperation for E Pluribus Unum Race Versus Cultural Intelligence: The Agent Arena Relationship Transcendent Naturalism Series: The Cognitive Science Show  Towards a Metapsychology that is true to Transformation w/ Gregg Henriques and Zachary Stein   Podcasts The Integral Stage - Bruce Alderman / Layman Pascal Straight Ahead - The Omni-American Podcast  Deep Transformation Podcast   Books A Spirit of Trust: A Reading of Hegel's Phenomenology - Robert B.

He expresses why we shouldn't be the center of our cosmos. 00:18:00 — Reflecting on the sacredness of blues and jazz, and their role in American culture, Greg Thomas shares his experience with Michael James, Duke Ellington's nephew, who helped him deepen his knowledge of jazz and its history. 00:22:00 — Thomas explains the horizontal and vertical approaches to jazz improvisation through the examples of Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young, and how Charlie Parker synthesized these approaches. 00:27:40 — Vervaeke delves into the historical connections between music, mathematics, and geometry, referencing the Pythagorean and Platonic traditions. 00:32:00 — The discussion moves towards overcoming the subjective-objective and one-many dichotomies, leading to a non-duality in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions. 00:41:20 — Greg Thomas talks about the importance of cultivating the ability to be in relation in groups towards positive ends. He also introduces the idea of a positive way of looking at cults. 00:47:01 — Dr. Vervaeke explains the concept of vacillating between the poles of individuation and participation, and how our culture often forces us to emphasize one over the other. 00:54:38 — Using the example of global warming to illustrate the need for collective intelligence, Vervaeke explains that it requires a global effort and the use of various psychotechnologies to track and understand. 00:59:22 — Sharing an insightful quote from Ralph Ellison about choosing one's ancestors, Greg Thomas interprets it as choosing those who influence and inspire us, regardless of bloodline. 01:08:00 — Thomas prompts Dr. Vervaeke to discuss the concept of virtue, leading to an exploration of what constitutes a good human life. 01:15:00 — Dr. Vervaeke and Greg Thomas discuss the need to shift from a reification mindset to a relationality mindset in regard to race. 01:20:46 — Because of the pertinence and the sophistication of the way in which this series is trying to address some of our most burning issues right now, Vervaeke and Thomas encourage listeners to share it with others.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! On today's "Best-of" show, some recent favorites: As part of a year-long series on ways of improving U.S. democracy, Danielle Allen, Washington Post contributing columnist, a political theorist at Harvard University, where she is James Bryant Conant University Professor and director of the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics and the author of Justice by Means of Democracy (University of Chicago Press, 2023), proposes expanding the number of members of the House of Representatives, currently capped at 435. Peter Grinspoon, MD, instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of Seeing Through the Smoke: A Cannabis Expert Untangles the Truth About Marijuana (Prometheus, 2023), discusses how to use cannabis responsibly and the positive and negative effects the drug can have on someone's health. Matthew Desmond, sociology professor at Princeton University, 2015 MacArthur fellow, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City (Crown, 2016) and his latest, Poverty, by America (Crown, 2023), draws on research and reporting to make the case that poverty persists in the U.S. (at higher levels than in other advanced economies) because affluent Americans benefit from it. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, a host of the StarTalk Radio podcasts, discusses his book Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization (Henry Holt, 2022), a meditation on political and cultural polarization informed by a view "from above." Joy Harjo, former U.S. Poet Laureate, discusses a new a picture book, Remember (Random House Studio, 2023), adapted from her poem. The book, illustrated by Caldecott medalist Michaela Goade invites young readers to reflect on the world around them.   These interviews were lightly edited for time and clarity; the original web versions are available here:  Making the House More Representative (Mar 1, 2023) Cannabis Use and Personal Health (Feb 10, 2023) Set Up to Be Poor (Mar 27, 2023) Neil deGrasse Tyson's Cosmic Perspectives on Humanity (Dec 6, 2022) Former US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo (Mar 22, 2023)

America today faces a crisis of governance. In the face of numerous challenges — from climate change, to housing shortages, to pandemics — our institutions struggle to act quickly and decisively. Democratic processes often get captured by special interests or paralyzed by polarization. And, in response, public faith in government has reached a new low.For the political philosopher Danielle Allen, this crisis requires a complete transformation of our democratic institutions. “Representation as designed cannot work under current conditions,” she writes. “We have no choice but to undertake a significant project of democracy renovation.” Allen's most recent book — “Justice By Means of Democracy” — puts forth a sweeping vision of what she calls “power-sharing liberalism,” which aims to place political equality, power and participation at the center of liberal thinking.But Allen isn't just a theorist of liberal governance; she's actively applying her insights in the real world. As the director of Harvard's Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics, she's convened interdisciplinary groups to tackle a range of challenges from building Covid-19 testing infrastructure to innovating in A.I. governance. She was co-chair of the “Our Common Purpose” commission, which put forward over 30 specific policy recommendations for reinventing American democracy. She even ran for governor of Massachusetts.So this is a conversation about what it would mean to build a better, more responsive and inclusive government — and the numerous challenges standing in the way of doing that. Along the way, we discuss liberals' failure to take power seriously, Colorado's experiments with “plural voting,” Seattle's efforts to publicly finance elections through “democracy bucks,” Taiwan's groundbreaking innovations in deliberative democracy, whether most citizens actually want deeper participation in government — or just better results from it, what it would mean to democratically govern AI development and much more.Mentioned:“Introducing Power-Sharing Liberalism” by Danielle Allen“Movement vs. Abundance Progressives” by Misha David ChellamHow Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt“Our Common Purpose” Report“How A.I.
