Podcasts about Demise

We welcome back comedy writer Josh Comers and delve into the demise of late night television. He gives his take on how the landscape shifted from the time he wrote for various shows including The Tonight Show. 

Has the demise of London's leading financial services been "greatly exaggerated", and does the underlying evidence tell a very different story? In this interview, held at Mansion House in the historic City of London financial district, the Right Honourable Alastair King (696th Lord Mayor of the City of London) explains his view that the UK enjoys an unrivalled position, untouched by other European capitals.   He explains London and the wider UK “moat”, and why it exhibits persistency and resilience. Perhaps the most unexpected statistic is the significant growth in employment numbers in the City since Brexit. He discusses the importance of the Mansion House Reforms and the £75bn of investment by 2030, headed into private assets. He discusses why we must recognise that we need to take more risk, judiciously but emphatically (and this is directed at both public and private markets).  Lord Alastair then touches on the lessons we can learn from Canada and Australia and his current priorities. Finally, he explains why we need to get on planes/trains in order to trumpet the UK and drive new business opportunities.  The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by Schroders, IFM Investors, World Gold Council and LSEG.   Sign up to our Newsletter | Follow us on LinkedIn | Watch on YouTube  

Denise Richards' divorce has so many twists and turns there seems to be new info every hour on the hour. By now everyone has heard Denise's claims of abuse by Aaron. Aaron strongly denies those claims and a serious case of two very different conflicting stories is in full effect as we approach their initial hearing date, August 8th, in which a judge will determine if her temporary restraining order should be made permanent. Erika Jayne and Teddi tried to warn us all and many resurfaced RHOBH clips, plus Denise's reaction to the Brandi Glanville situation, are now revisited causing fans to look at everything and anything with hindsight which, they say, is 20/20. This RHOC take down season of Katie does not seem to be going quite as Tamra, Emily and Gina had planned.  The RHONJ long pause which is just getting started means so much more to the future of other franchises than meets the eye. Teresa makes new moves Down Under in acts of desperation, Dolores declares her PTSD and many cast members become delusional in a total lack of reality about what their future on RHONJ really looks like. Part II starts now. @marianagrajales @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TRUDIAGNOSTIC - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trudiagnostic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) PROGRESSIVE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.progressive.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mood.com/velvet ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198⁠⁠ To Purchase Tickets To MeMe's upcoming show: ⁠seriesoffortunateevents.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Tamra has just claimed that Shannon has hatched a diabolical plan to take her down and out as Tamra continues her sympathy tour with more tears, apologies and re-introductions. Speaking of RHOC, although she will never return to Bravo, Kelly Dodd has taken a moment out of her busy day - said sarcastically - to issue a plea to us directly in an attempt to pull on our heartstrings, assuming we have any. Melissa Gorga quit her podcast a few weeks ago, but what are the real reasons for shutting down “On Display” and just what does this move have to do with the return and future of RHONJ. Bethenny Frankel has suffered another recent loss which has pulled on the heartstrings of many and has others claiming it performative. Last but not least, rumors arise yet again from multiple sources that Andy Cohen and Micah Plath may have had a moment or two together that are more than just friends. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GOPURE - ⁠⁠gopurebeauty.com⁠⁠ (Use Code Velvet To Get 25% Off The Best Tighten & Lift Neck Cream) PROGRESSIVE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.progressive.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) QUINCE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠quince.com/velvetrop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠e⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) INDACLOUD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠indacloud.co ⁠⁠(Use Code Velvet For 25% Off Your First Order Plus Free Shipping on Federally Legal Gummies, Flower, Prerolls and More) WAYFAIR - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wayfair.com⁠⁠ (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trudiagnostic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week our office chat has been dominated by two stories, the demise of late night shows after the axeing of Stephen Colbert's show 'The Late Show' and whether the reaction to that Coldplay kiss was monstrous or perfectly okay. Kate Rodger and Olivia Wilson discuss with Jesse.

welcome to this weeks show, there's a lot packed in. safe to play at home or work. enjoy

Even before the cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,' the business of comedy was changing rapidly. Twenty years ago, comedians aspired to be late-night hosts, or to star in movies, or to have their own sitcoms. But in 2025, late-night shows are going extinct, adult comedies in Hollywood are a thing of the past, and popular sitcoms are so rare these days that Gen Z viewers are still watching 'The Office' and 'Friends.' Instead, many comedians rightly recognize that they can make more money as solo acts. In comedy, as in much of our culture, the age of institutions is giving way to an age of individuals talking to individuals. Lucas Shaw, a reporter for Bloomberg and frequent commentator on the Town podcast, joins the show to talk about the cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' and what it says about the history and the future of comedy and media. We also talk about the death of adult comedies, the retreat of sitcoms on TV, why comedy as a field is becoming more of a solo business—and what that says about entertainment culture more broadly.

USAID has officially closed its doors, but the devastating impact of its loss is echoing around the world. Among those worst hit is Afghanistan, which received over 40 percent of its humanitarian support from the US. One study predicts that, if the cuts continue through 2030, 14 million people could die as a result. It's not hard to find evidence of how this is already materializing, as correspondent Isobel Yeung saw for herself.  Also on today's show: Bulwark senior reporter Will Sommer; TechTonic Justice founder Kevin De Liban  Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, we take you inside the Osceola County courtroom where Stephan Sterns—the man who raped and murdered 13-year-old Maddie Soto—pleaded guilty to a laundry list of charges. Sterns accepted a life sentence without the possibility of parole in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. But while he faces justice behind bars, one haunting question remains: Why has Maddie's mother, Jennifer Soto, never been charged? We unpack every detail from the plea hearing: the heartbreaking victim impact statements, the devastating timeline, and the judge's chilling words as Sterns was sentenced. But perhaps the most glaring moment? The silence from Jennifer Soto. No statement. No appearance. No visible grief in the courtroom for the daughter she failed to protect. This episode goes beyond the courtroom. We break down: What Jennifer Soto admitted to police. Why she allowed Sterns to routinely sleep in the same bed as Maddie. Her infamous comment that the “sex stuff wasn't evil.” Why prosecutors didn't charge her—yet—and whether the plea deal now opens that door. We also examine the public outcry demanding accountability and the disturbing legal gray zone between neglect and criminality. Is it time for Florida prosecutors to revisit their stance on Soto now that Sterns' case is closed? Or will she walk away, untouched by the justice system but stained in the court of public opinion? You won't want to miss this in-depth breakdown of the courtroom moment that left as many questions as answers—and the mother at the center of it all. Listen now to "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski."

7/20/25 Sunday School message

Interview with Dr. Hank Sheinkopf, Prominent Democratic pollster and consultant, who was recently featured in a Wall Street Journal article titled, Can Anyone Stop Zohran Mamdani? Dr. Sheinkopf has worked on an estimated 700 political domestic and international political campaigns. June 24, 2025 will go down in history as the day that New York City, the Big Apple, experienced a political earthquake never seen before. A 33 year old Zohran Mamdani, with ZERO government experience, shook the City and beyond to its core, by winning the Democratic primary for New York City. A young man, whose ideology is the furthest to the left that we have ever witnessed. Not only is he a virulent antisemite in a City that has the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, but his platform goes against EVERYTHING New York is about; From promising rent control to opening government run grocery stores, to promising free buses, free childcare, strengthening New York City's status as a “sanctuary city,” and defunding the police. All of these issues and more, will be paid for, according to Mamdani, by raising taxes on billionaires, whom he said, shouldn't exist. He was the founder of the antisemitic group, Students for Justice in Palestine, while attending Bowdoin College, he has refused to denounce “globalize the intifada,” which is a call for violence against the Jews worldwide, supports the BDS movement to delegitimize the State of Israel, and even vowed, though he has no standing, to have Israel's PM arrested when he comes to New York. And lest anyone think that he is the typical leftist who is rebellious against his parents, his father is a professor at Columbia University, who believes that “suicide bombers” are a legitimate weapon of war, and that they are soldiers, not terrorists. Mamdani has also said he would appoint former disgraced, antisemitic Congressman, Jamaal Bowman as his Chancellor of Education. As of this Broadcast, there are 3 candidates challenging Mamdani to be the Mayor. Andrew Cuomo, the former disgraced Governor who was forced to resign over sexual harassment allegations, current Mayor Eric Adams who is running as an Independent, and Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa. The problem is, if 2 of them don't withdraw their candidacies, Mamdani is all but guaranteed victory this November. In the interview, Dr. Sheinkopf said, "Mamdani is not a Democrat, he is a Socialist who, with his millions, is "trying to hijack a bankrupt Democratic Party that now stands for nothing." According to Sheinkopf, the reason Mamdani was able to win the nomination during the primaries was thanks to a small group of people, who are generally young, who don't like those in power...but believe they are entitled to take over the world. "They are the most pampered generation in history!" "So in Mamdani, they found a candidate who never had a tough job, never worked very hard, born with 2 silver spoons in his mouth, whose parents' house was subsidized by the taxpayers because Columbia U. pays no taxes, and his father is a Professor there. Dr. Sheinkopf went on to say that "Jewish New York is finished...it's only a question of when the lights get turned out." When asked about the influence of Jewish elected officials who are supporting Mamdani, Sheinkopf said, "(Congressman) Nadler should be tossed out immediately....Should have been gone a long time ago!" Sheinkopf lamented the "stupidity" of some Jewish Democrats who think they will be accepted by a Mamdani Administration, because they don't understand that this isn't about Israel, it's about defeating the West, whose values are steeped in everything Judaism stands for. Alan Skorski Reports 17JULY2025 - PODCAST

Why do we need to see and hear the greatness of God's wrath upon worldliness? Revelation 17–18 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these forty-two verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we need to be warned about wrath, so that we will come out from among the worldly and be separate. The sermon explores the prophetic imagery of Revelation 17 and 18, portraying Babylon as a symbolic representation of worldly systems and the allure of fleeting pleasures that ultimately lead to destruction. Drawing on themes of idolatry, persecution, and divine judgment, the message warns against the dangers of prioritizing material wealth and earthly power over devotion to God, emphasizing the importance of separating oneself from such influences to avoid sharing in their fate. Ultimately, the sermon serves as a call to vigilance and faithfulness, assuring believers that God will ultimately avenge the blood of the martyrs and bring justice to those who oppose Him, while simultaneously offering a comforting assurance of divine protection for those who remain steadfast in their commitment to Christ.

Pastor Chris Ansell of Restoration Community Church continues a series through the book of Judges. This week we look at the death of Samson and how in his final moments he crushed his enemies through his death. This foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ. Passages: Judges 16:1-31; Judges 13:5; 1 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 10:10

Simon & Schuster provided me with an advanced copy of the superb book After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People, scheduled for release on July 8, 2025. The University of Texas authors, Dean Spears and Michael Geruso, have written a mind-blowing book! It's my second favorite book of 2025! My favorite 2025 book is They're Not Gaslighting You. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-JfpjJRkok Podcast   The Population Whimper When I was born, Paul R. Ehrlich's book, The Population Bomb, was a mega-bestseller. Although I never read the book, my generation believed the book's message that humanity is dangerously overpopulated. The book gave me one major reason not to have children. The book made intuitive sense, built on Thomas Malthus's observations, that if our population continues to expand, we will eventually hit a brick wall. However, Ehrlich, a Stanford biologist, made these stunningly wrong predictions in The Population Bomb: Mass Starvation in the 1970s and 1980s: The book opened with the statement, "The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now."    England's Demise by 2000: He suggested that England would not exist by the year 2000 due to environmental collapse related to overpopulation.   Devastation of Fish Populations by 1990: He predicted that all significant animal life in the sea would be extinct by 1990, and large areas of coastline would need to be evacuated due to the stench of dead fish.   India's Famine: He predicted catastrophic food shortages in India in the 1990s that did not materialize.   United States Food Rationing by 1984: He envisioned the U.S. rationing food by 1984. Instead of all this doom and gloom, here's what happened: we went from 3.5 billion (when Ehrich wrote his doomsday book) to 8 billion people today, most of whom are fat. Today, our biggest problem isn't famine but obesity. Dean Spears and Michael Geruso's new book should have been called The Population Whimper because it says the opposite of what The Population Bomb said. Forget a catastrophic demographic explosion. We're going to suffer a catastrophic demographic implosion. The graph on the cover of After the Spike sums up the problem: during a 200-year time period, the human population will have spiked to 10 billion and then experienced an equally dramatic fall. Three criticisms of After the Spike For a book packed with counterintuitive arguments, it's remarkable that I can only spot three flaws. Admittedly, these are minor critiques, as they will disappear if we stabilize below 10 billion. 1. Wildlife lost The authors correctly argue that the environment has been improving even as the human population has been growing rapidly. For example: Air and water are now cleaner than they were 50 years ago, when the population was half its current size. Our per capita CO2 consumption is falling. Clean energy production is at an all-time high. There's one metric that authors overlooked: wildlife. As the human population doubled, we've needed more space for growing food. This has led to a decrease in habitat, which is why biologists refer to the Anthropocene Extinction. While fish farms are efficient, overfishing continues. The Amazon gets denuded to make space for soy and cattle plantations. The loss of African wildlife habitats is acute, as the African population is projected to quadruple in this century. I imagine that the authors of After the Spike would counter: National parks didn't exist 200 years ago. Green revolutions and GMO foods have made the most productive farmers ever. De-extinction may restore extinct species. And they're correct. There are bright spots.  However, as we approach 10 billion, wildlife will continue to suffer and be marginalized. The book should have mentioned that. Dean Spears and Michael Geruso would likely agree that if humans continue to grow nonstop, wildlife will continue to suffer. However, they aren't arguing for nonstop human expansion. They want stabilization. When you combine stabilization with technology (e.g., vertical farming and lab-grown animal products), we would reverse the downward trend in wildlife habitat. 2. Increased energy consumption Dean Spears and Michael Geruso celebrate humanity's progress in energy efficiency and productivity. However, they overlook these facts: 1. The Rebound Effect (Jevons Paradox): As energy efficiency improves, the cost of using energy services effectively decreases. This can lead to: Increased usage of existing services: For example, more efficient air conditioners might lead people to cool their homes to lower temperatures or for longer periods. More fuel-efficient cars might encourage more driving. Adoption of new energy-intensive activities: The increased affordability of energy services can enable entirely new consumption patterns that were previously too expensive to adopt. Think about the proliferation of data centers for AI and digital services, or the growth of electric vehicles. While individual electric vehicles (EVs) are more efficient than gasoline cars, the rapid increase in their adoption contributes to overall electricity demand. 2. Economic Growth and Rising Living Standards: Increased demand for energy services: As economies grow and incomes rise, people generally desire greater comfort, convenience, and a wider range of goods and services. This translates to greater demand for heating and cooling, larger homes, more personal transportation, more manufactured goods, and more leisure activities, all of which require energy. Industrialization and urbanization: Developing economies, in particular, are undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization. This involves massive construction, increased manufacturing, and the expansion of infrastructure, all of which are highly energy-intensive. Even with efficiency gains, the sheer scale of this growth drives up overall energy consumption. Emerging technologies: The growth of data centers, AI, and other digital technologies is leading to a significant increase in electricity demand. 3. Population Growth: While efficiency might improve per unit of output, the overall global population continues to grow. More people, even if individually more efficient, will inherently consume more energy in total. 4. Shifting Economic Structures: Some economies are shifting from less energy-intensive sectors (like agriculture) to more energy-intensive ones (like manufacturing or specific services). Even within industries, while individual processes might become more efficient, the overall scale of production can increase dramatically. 5. Energy Price and Policy Factors: Low energy prices: If energy remains relatively inexpensive (due to subsidies or abundant supply), the incentive for significant behavioral changes to reduce consumption might be diminished, even with efficient technologies available. Policy limitations: Although many countries have energy efficiency policies, their impact may be offset by other factors that drive demand. Conclusion: While technological advancements and efficiency measures reduce the energy intensity of specific activities, these gains are often outpaced by the aggregate increase in demand for energy services driven by economic growth, rising living standards, population increases, and the adoption of new, energy-intensive technologies and behaviors. The challenge lies in achieving a proper decoupling of economic growth from energy consumption, and ultimately, from carbon emissions. Humanity's per capita energy consumption has been steadily increasing with each passing century, a trend that is unlikely to change soon. Therefore, humans of the 26th century will consume far more energy than those of the 21st century.  The authors of After the Spike would probably argue that in 2525, we'll be using a clean energy source (e.g., nuclear fusion), so it'll be irrelevant that our per capita energy consumption increases ten times.  Again, short term, we're going in the wrong direction. However, in a stabilized world, we won't have a problem. 3. Designer babies The authors of After the Spike never addressed the potential impact that designer babies may have. I coined the term "Homo-enhanced" to address our desire to overcome our biological limitations.  Couples are already using IVF to select the gender and eye color of their babies. Soon, we'll be able to edit and select for more complex traits such as height or even intelligence. It's easy to imagine a world like Gattaca, where parents collaborate with CRISPR-powered gene tools to create custom-made babies. One reason some people don't want to reproduce is that it's a crap shoot. Any parent who has more than one child will tell you that each of their children is quite different from the others. Given that they grow up in the same environment, it suggests that genetics is a decisive factor. Until now, we couldn't mold our children's DNA. Soon, we will.  If we were to remove the lottery aspect of having a child and allow parents to design their children, perhaps there would be a baby boom. Dean Spears and Michael Geruso would probably argue that this is unlikely or centuries away from happening. We'll be descending the steep population slope long before we are homo-enhanced. One trillion humans in this millennium? In the Bulgaria chapter of The Hidden Europe, I observed that Bulgaria is depopulating faster than any other European country. Having peaked at 9 million in the late 1980s, a century later, it will be half that size. Despite that, in that chapter, I predicted that in 500 years, we'll have one trillion humans in the solar system, with at least 100 billion on Earth. This video explains how and why that may happen:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lJJ_QqIVnc Conclusion In 2075, will After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People look as stupid as The Population Bomb looks 50 years after publication? Does After the Spike make the same errors as The Population Bomb? Paul Ehrlich's underestimated technology and the continued collapse in fertility rates. As Dean Spears and Michael Geruso point out, fertility rates have been declining since they were first measured. Had Ehrlich extrapolated the trendline, he would have realized that our demographic collapse was imminent, not an explosion. Furthermore, technology solved many of the problems Ehrlich imagined. Is After the Spike making the same error? Fertility rates won't fall forever. They must stop. Otherwise, we'll become extinct. However, will fertility rates soar due to technology or some other reason? What could make our fertility rates return to three or more? Here are a few ideas: We master fusion energy, providing us with ultra-cheap energy and dramatically decreasing the cost of having children. Robots perform most jobs, leaving humans with ample time to raise large families.  As the negative effects of depopulation start rippling across the world, a global cultural panic erupts, prompting people to prioritize reproduction. Homo-enhanced humans, merged with artificial general intelligence, decide to proliferate to dominate the planet. Vertical farms and lab-grown cultured meat improve the environment so dramatically that humans feel less guilty about having three or more children, and generous subsidies offset the costs. Admittedly, these scenarios are unlikely to occur during the next 50 years, so After the Spike won't become the joke that The Population Bomb became in 50 years. Still, I predict that Ehrlich's great-great-granddaughter will write The Population Bomb II: Thomas Malthus Will Be Right Someday. Verdict 10 out of 10 stars! Excerpts The excerpts below are from an advanced copy, which may have undergone edits. Hence, some of these excerpts may have been reworded or deleted in the final print. The reason I am quoting them is that even if the excerpts are removed in the final edition, they illustrate the book's overall message.  It would be easy to think that fewer people would be better—better for the planet, better for the people who remain. This book asks you to think again. Depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges, nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. Despite what you may have been told, depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges like climate change. Nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. To the contrary, so much of the progress that we now take for granted sprang up in a large and interconnected society. Part I's big claim: No future is more likely than that people worldwide choose to have too few children to replace their own generation. Over the long run, this would cause exponential population decline. Whether depopulation would be good or bad depends on the facts and depends on our values. We ask about those facts and values, building up to an overall assessment: Part II and Part III's big claim: A stabilized world population would be better, overall, than a depopulating future. Part IV's big claim: Nobody yet knows how to stabilize a depopulating world. But humanity has made revolutionary improvements to society before— we can do it again if we choose. We won't ask you to abandon your concerns about climate change; about reproductive freedom and abortion access; or about ensuring safe, healthy, flourishing lives for everyone everywhere. We won't ask you to consider even an inch of backsliding on humanity's progress toward gender equity. We insist throughout that everyone should have the tools to choose to parent or not to parent. This book is not about whether or how you should parent. It's about whether we all should make parenting easier. In 2012, 146 million children were born. That was more than in any year of history to that point. It was also more than in any year since. Millions fewer will be born this year. The year 2012 may well turn out to be the year in which the most humans were ever born— ever as in ever for as long as humanity exists. Within three hundred years, a peak population of 10 billion could fall below 2 billion. The tip of the Spike may be six decades from today. For every 205 babies born, human biology, it turns out, would produce about 100 females. Average fertility in Europe today is about 1.5. That means the next generation will be 25 percent smaller than the last. Birth rates were falling all along. For as long as any reliable records exist, and for at least several hundred years while the Spike was ascending, the average number of births per woman has been falling, generation by generation. In the United States in the early 1800s, married white women (a population for whom some data were recorded) gave birth an average of seven times. If life expectancy doubles to 150 years, or quadruples to 300 years, couldn't that prevent the depopulating edge of the Spike? The surprising answer is no. The story of the Spike would stay the same, even if life expectancy quadrupled to three hundred years. In contrast, if adults' reproductive spans also changed, so people had, say, one or two babies on average over their twenties, thirties, and forties and then another one on average over their fifties, sixties, and seventies, then that would stop depopulation— but it would be because births changed, not because later-adulthood deaths changed. Where exactly should humanity stabilize? Six billion? Eight? Ten? Some other number? This book makes the case to stabilize somewhere. Exactly where will have to be a question for public and scientific debate. So the extra greenhouse gas emissions contributed by the larger population would be small, even under the assumption here that the future is bleak and we go on emitting for another century. The environmental costs of a new child are not zero. Not by a long shot. Not yet. But they are falling. Each new person who joins the ranks of humanity will add less CO2 than, well, you over your lifetime. Humanity could choose a future that's good, free, and fair for women and that also has an average birth rate of two. There is no inescapable dilemma. In that kind of future, people who want to parent would get the support that they need (from nonparents, from taxpayers, from everyone) to choose parenting. The most plausible way humanity might stabilize— and the only way this book endorses— is if societies everywhere work to make parenting better. Globally, we now produce about 50 percent more food per person than in 1961. “endogenous economic growth.” Endogenous means “created from the inside.” Ideas do not come from outside the economy. They come from us. Because scale matters, a depopulating planet will be able to fill fewer niches. A threat with a fixed cost: A threat has arisen that will kill all humans (however many) unless a large cost is paid to escape it (such as by deflecting an asteroid) within a certain time period. Could a kajillion lives ever be the best plan? That question goes beyond the practical question that this book is here to answer. Between our two families, we have had three live births, four miscarriages, and three failed IVF rounds. Parenting will need to become better than it is today. That's what we, your authors, hope and believe. The opportunity cost hypothesis: Spending time on parenting means giving up something. Because the world has improved around us, that “something” is better than it used to be. In no case is there evidence that more support for parents predicts more births. Nobody— no expert, no theory— fully understands why birth rates, everywhere, in different cultures and contexts, are lower than ever before. I hope these excerpts compel you to buy the book. If you're still undecided, consider that the book features numerous graphs and illustrations that will rewire your brain. Buy After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People.

DTLA was hollowed out and vacant for much of the 20th Century. . .but the arrival of Staples Center heralded a renaissance. Restaurants, bars, lofts, studios, apartments, even hotels were filling the area with vivaciousness & energy that hadn't been felt in 70 years. But then came COVID, and the wave of crime & homelessness, which still hasn't abated. Today, more than 33% of businesses and residences are vacant and legacy restaurants are closing weekly. So what happened? This is the Demise of Downtown L.A.

While the climate change crusade may have started out as well-meaning with a stated goal to address pollution, it was hijacked by communists, agitators and opportunists who used it to control how people lived their day-to-day lives and to loot the treasuries of Western countries to the tune of trillions of dollars. In this episode, I explain why the climate change scam is officially over.

In the aftermath of the Second World War, as Britain's Empire faded away, British Prime Ministers had few choices than to take their lead from America. Following the disaster of the Suez invasion, Britain abandoned any pretence that it might have an independent foreign policy and operated as an arm of American power in the world until the present day. As we face the possibility of a war with Iran that almost 80 per cent of the population oppose but British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has strongly indicated he might be willing to commit forces to, this podcast explores Britain's outsourcing of foreign policy to Washington. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

Ever since the announcement that Shahs of Sunset will be returning to Bravo, along with Ladies of London, many stories have been spilled as far as what we can expect when Reza, MJ and GG return to our TVs. Today we separate fact from fiction regarding their return and what we can expect when this Valley style show drops.

Today's Song of the Day is “Like I Loved You” from Demise Of Love's EP Demise Of Love, out now.

You've been told addiction is a disease or a moral failing. That emotional pain is separate from your brain wiring. And that quantum physics is just science fiction jargon. This week on Win Today, Dr. Lee Warren—a neurosurgeon, Iraq War vet, and author—pushes back on all of that. He exposes how unraveling addiction requires more than therapy—it demands restructuring your neural pathways. He digs into how neurodivergent brains function, why most spiritual advice fails, and how quantum physics reveals that your brain isn't a victim—it's a participant. Lee will show you why normal isn't enough, why passive hope is setting you up for failure, and why self‑brain‑surgery—rewiring your neural patterns—is the ultimate resistance. If you're wrestling with addictive patterns, feeling trapped in mental loops, or want hard science fused with spiritual hope, this conversation will light a fire under you. This isn't motivation—it's neuroscience applied. It's the answer buried inside your skull. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!
