Digital memory is perfect. Thanks to technology we remember so much more than we used to. And that's good...or is it? Featuring more stories by college students about the once-cool outfits, hairstyles, and moments that bring shame on social media later; then a story of surviving a mass shooting only to relive it in response to a photo on Facebook; and an interview with Diana's sister about Diana's MC Hammer pants and her hideous blazer that mysteriously disappeared in middle school.

Jackie is also Co-Founder and CEO of leading tech company Convosphere, a social intelligence agency working with clients across a range of different industries.  I have to add that she is also a mother of three. She is doing the MSc at Oxford University in the Social Science of the Internet and supporting young female entrepreneurs along the way. In the beginning, Jackie explains what social intelligence is and how it helps businesses understand consumer behavior. They analyze public conversations that have already happened, and they do it globally in different languages. We talk about changes made by pandemic experience and how social intelligence replaced traditional research technics such as focus groups.  Jackie remembers how she evolved along with the tech industry and how her career combined art, science, and technology. She shares her perspective on privacy and mass data collection and why she thinks that concern is misplaced. Jackie encourages young people who are building businesses to try things out, prioritize and focus. She also recommends a book she recently read, "Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age."   Key Takeaways:   Introducing Jackie Cuyvers (1:07) What is social intelligence?

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support If you read or heard my last update, you will have learned that I moved house on September 3rd. That all feels quite a long time ago now but I am both delighted and relieved to tell you that it went seamlessly. Moving house was objectively the biggest thing I did this past month but I've done so much more since then. In the past seven days alone I've… Created a pilot for an upcoming podcast Visited a top-secret secret underground bunker to see an old Roman wall Gone bouldering and rockclimbing at The Warehouse in Gloucester Met a tamarin monkey at Bristol Zoo with keeper Olivia Done both rockclimbing and animal meeting at the Wild Place Project, just off the M5 near Bristol Here's what else I've been up to this month. Netflix Original Criminal is a good watch. Filmed in just three rooms, you're plonked in the middle of an interogation with suspects ranging from a murderer (S1E1) to a prision inmate who just gets a bit bored (S2E4). When you've exhausted the 7 episodes the UK version has to offer, there's also Spanish, German and French versions all with different stories that you can watch dubbed. Warhol: A Life as Art by Blake Gopnik is a behemoth clocking in at almost 1,000 pages but offers the most comprehensive insight into Warhol's work yet. I tried my hand at screenprinting earlier in the month with a £40 reusable kit from Hobbycraft. It wasn't reusable (the blocking element dried in the screen to the extent that no cleaner would remove it) but I did make lots and lots of prints, some of which I'm quite proud of. If you're going to give it a go, Pēbēo acrylics are beautiful to work with and come in the most flourecent colours you can think of. I've also been reading Selfie by Will Storr and Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age by University of Oxford professor Viktor Mayer-Schonberger. The Social Dilemma is a depressing but important film that's been recommended to me on two occasions. I watched it on the 24th. It features a bunch of technies including the creator of Facebook's Like button and the founder of the Center for Humane Technology talking about social media's effect on the psyche. I think social media is just a moral panic for a connected world but the film presents some valid points especially around the problems of misinformation. For audio friends, freetousesounds.com is selling their entire collection of over a terabtye of sound effects and atmos recordings for just $20. There are sounds from all over the world and there are some real gems in there too… Take a listen to the podcast version of this newsletter to hear a selection of them. Finally, 2017 daily vlogging sensation Casey Neistat is back with more of the same, complete with very 2020 clickbaity titles and thumbnails. I love his style of storytelling and whilst I have no desire to become a daily-anything, I do remember watching a lot of ‘how to vlog like Casey Neistat' videos during university. The one tip I remember was to cut off the end of sentences to make your movie seem more pacy; people can usually work out what you're going to say. As always, my email inbox is always open if you want to chat about anything from what you're watching on Netflix to a location you think I should visit for Activity Quest, or anything else. Rockclimbing tips very welcome. The address is me@adamstoner.com.

Downstairs at the White House (0:38)Guest: Donald Stinson, Author, “Downstairs at the White House”Media outlets these days have entire teams dedicated to sniffing out the intrigue going on inside the White House: Who's meeting with whom. Who's feuding with whom. And every one who leaves a job inside the eventually writes a tell-all memoir, but I've never read one quite like Donald Stinson's. In 1973, when he was 17 years old, Stinson talked his way into a series of low-level jobs making copies and delivering mail in the White House. He wasn't important, but he met lots of important people – often by loitering outside the Oval Office, which did not amuse the Secret Service. In the end, Don Stinson got himself a front row seat to the most momentous political events of the time, including the resignation of President Nixon.

Virtually every hospital in the US has had to delay surgery or come up with a treatment workaround because of chronic drug shortages. Most of the time these are generic drugs, so, you'd think they'd be plentiful and cheap. A group of about 750 hospitals decided they'd had enough of those shortages and formed a nonprofit drug manufacturer to be their supplier. (Originally aired 8/21/19) Artificial Music and Google Magenta (50:40)Guest: Douglas Eck, PhD, Principal Scientist, Google, Creator of the Google Magenta ProjectCould a computer listen to so much music that it learns how to compose its own – and do it even better than humans? Google has a research project called Magenta that's been working on this for years. (Originally aired 10/30/2018) Getting More Women on the Force (1:08:28)Guest: Ivonne Roman, Police Captain, Newark, New Jersey, National Institute of Justice LEADS Scholar, Cofounder of the Women's Leadership AcademyThere's a nationwide push to add more women to the ranks of law enforcement. Currently they make up less than 13 percent of police officers in the US and an even smaller percentage of law enforcement leadership. It's not that women are less capable of policing. Study after study has shown policewomen are actually better at communicating and defusing potentially violent confrontations. So why aren't there more women on the force? The problem starts with police academy, says Ivonne Roman. She's been a cop in New Jersey for 25 years. And she's co-founder of the Women's Leadership Academy to close the gender gap in policing.

The Case for More Forgetting (1:23:48)Guest: Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation, Oxford University, Author of “Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age” When was the last time you wished your memory was worse? I don't think that's even a thing. Mainly we're just trying to keep a handle on the stuff we do need to remember. But Viktor Mayer-Schonberger thinks we'd be better off if we did forget more. Specifically, he argues that our digital memory needs a purge. (Originally aired 9/9/2019)

Protesters Call on U.S. to “Liberate” Hong KongGuest: Eric Hyer, PhD, Professor of Political Science, BYUThere were more protests and clashes with police in Hong Kong over the weekend. These demonstrations have been going on since mid-June and they're continuing, even though Hong Kong's leader has withdrawn the extradition bill that sparked the protests in the first place. On Sunday, thousands protested outside the US Consulate in Hong Kong urging President Trump to “liberate” Hong Kong from Chinese control. Despite an Incredible History, The Future of Heart Disease Treatment Will Require Serious WorkGuest: Dr. Haider Warraich, MD, Cardiologist and Clinical Researcher, Harvard University, Author of “State of the Heart”Just a generation ago, having a heart attack was an automatic death sentence. Today open heart surgery, pacemakers, stents and artificial valves make it possible for people with weak or damaged hearts to live long lives. Statins to prevent heart disease from cholesterol build-up are the most-prescribed medication in the country.  And yet, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the US. And that's true for both men and women. The hidden waterways beneath Greenland's iceGuest: Kristin Poinar, Assistant Professor of Geophysics at the State University of New York At BuffaloGreenland is the world's largest island –and it's an autonomous territory of Denmark, which I only learned recently when President Trump started talking about wanting to buy it. But there's some very serious news out of Greenland on the scientific front, related to how quickly the ice sheet that covers it is melting. Speedgate: New Sport Created by AIGuest: Whitney Jenkins, Creative Director, AKQA  What If All Our Digital Data Had Expiration Dates?

Huge swaths of it were once part of the tribe's reservation, which shares a long border with the park. But the Blackfeet Nation has struggled to capitalize on the tourism dollars the park brings in. Ed DesRosiers was an early pioneer in that effort. He's an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Nation and fought a long court battle to become one of the few indigenous people in the country licensed to operate a tour business in a national park.
