Equities are up more than 50% since the April lows, yet the world feels anything but stable. In this episode, Niels Kaastrup-Larsen and Andrew Beer examine the widening disconnect between market behavior and the backdrop it's unfolding against. From drone incursions over Denmark to political fragmentation and a rising tolerance for systemic risk, they explore why nothing seems to break - and what that complacency might be masking. Along the way, they unpack Bouchard's inelastic market hypothesis, CalPERS' pivot toward Total Portfolio thinking, and the structural trade-offs inside multi-strat hedge funds. It's a conversation about signals in the noise - and the quiet shifts that could reshape the landscape.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Andrew on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 01:04 - What has caught our attention recently?05:38 - The tension between talents11:08 - Is the popularity of certain alternative strategies just a sign of the times?22:07 - Industry performance update27:46 - Q1, Michael: Why shouldn't I sell Andrew's product when it's outperforming single managers and vise versa?30:15 - The evolution of replication strategy performance37:44 - The storytelling behind hedge fund losses41:04 - Do all markets have the ability to trend?48:57 - The rise of multi strategy hedge funds57:47 - It shouldn't work but it does, so why?01:04:27 - A reminder for Andrew's generous book offerCopyright © 2025 – CMC...

This episode of the Harvest Series podcast, hosted by Rose Claverie, features Daniel Barcay, Executive Director at the Center for Humane Technology. Recorded at Harvest in Kaplankaya, Turkey, the conversation explores how AI is reshaping society and what it means for our future.Daniel reflects on lessons from the rise of social media, the dangers of addictive design, and why AI carries even greater stakes. He explains how AI impacts relationships, privacy, and decision-making, and why it could both empower humanity or destabilize it.From emotional manipulation by AI companions to the risk of losing control when autonomous agents act in our world, this dialogue uncovers both urgent threats and inspiring opportunities. Ultimately, the discussion calls for awareness, policy, and responsible design — and for each of us to ask: are we using AI to become the people we want to be?Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Harvest welcome 00:29 – AI: Best friend or threat? 01:20 – Raising awareness of tech's impact 02:08 – Promise and instability of new tech 03:04 – Lessons from social media's design flaws 05:02 – The attention economy explained 06:24 – The Social Dilemma and global awareness 07:16 – Social media as humanity's first AI contact 08:25 – Distorted mirrors of society 09:33 – China's intentional tech policies 10:26 – From channels to AI companions 12:02 – Ambiguity in relationships with AI 13:30 – Risks: sycophancy & flattery 15:26 – AI competing for affection 17:13 – Super-stimulus: AI partners vs. real relationships 18:42 – Polarization & intellectual humility 20:15 – Privacy, memory, and hidden data 22:27 – AI as con man: trust and betrayal 22:44 – Case study: character AI & youth suicide 25:08 – Liability & legal responsibility 27:40 – Product liability & AI frameworks 28:34 – Control: can we prevent AI chaos? 29:19 – Lessons from financial flash crashes 30:28 – Rise of autonomous AI agents 31:53 – Society-wide responsibility for AI 33:19 – What individuals can do 35:12 – Policy and design solutions 36:19 – Engineers and responsibility codes 37:09 – Daniel's personal journey 40:06 – Courage: leaving Google 42:04 – Can AI start a war? 44:06 – Final advice: use AI, but consciouslyYou can follow us on Instagram at @HarvestSeries or @rose.claverie for updates.Watch our podcast episodes and speaker sessions on YouTube: Harvest Series.Credits:Sound editing by: @lesbellesfrequencesTechnician in Kaplankaya: Joel MoriasiMusic by: ChambordArtwork by: Davide d'AntonioHarvest Series is produced in partnership with Athena Advisers and Capital PartnersHarvest Series Founders: Burak Öymen and Roman Carel

“Bless” is a word often used and rarely defined. Therefore, we want to try to study some of God's blessings in Genesis. At the beginning, God blesses creatures with the capacity to flourish— to be fruitful, to multiply, and to abound. Every time we see life spreading and thriving in creation, it's a sign of God's blessing at work. Humans were given an additional blessing: responsibility over the earth. God invited humanity to be partners in extending blessing everywhere. Sometimes humans get it wrong and the blessing is distorted. In this series, we'll explore Genesis through the lens of blessing—what it means for us, and how we are called to live as participants in God's blessing to the world. This week we talk about how the blessing gets distorted.Support the show

A vertebral subluxation interferes with the way nerves control and regulate your body. 

We know that the certainty of a punishment is the greatest deterrent for want to be criminals. Yet, there are neighborhoods across this country where the clearance rate for violent crimes is incredibly low—despite a large police presence. Cato's Mike Fox and Reason's Billy Binion will explain why that is and explore possible solutions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's an architecture to dysfunction. It starts with broken beliefs about who you are, and it becomes lifestyle chaos. This week, Ed Latimore joins me to dismantle that architecture from the inside out. A former heavyweight boxer turned Stoic philosopher, physicist, and master of emotional discipline, Ed knows what happens when discipline outruns self-awareness and toughness becomes armor, not healing. We go deep on how distorted thinking drives destructive behavior; how emotional regulation isn't about feeling control—it's predictive science; and why optimism without realism becomes denial. This episode is a surgical blueprint for rethinking how you think, feel, and engage with life's stress. If you're tired of overthinking, overdoing, and still not seeing change, listen closely. Because transformation begins the moment you question what you're telling yourself about your own strength, your pain, and your beliefs.

“What would you do if a bat flew into your mouth?” That's just one of the many outrageous questions tackled in this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show with Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray. From venomous snakes to viral cops, from Billy Joel's heavy metal past to the mystery of Fort Dingleberry, this episode is a rollercoaster of absurdity, nostalgia, and laugh-out-loud moments. Whether Skin's Forrest Gump impression, or Ben's unfortunate phrasing about dating, the bloopers and banter never stop.

What does it actually mean to be made in the image of God? In this episode of Thinking Christian's Prepped Series, Dr. James Spencer dives deep into one of the Bible’s most profound claims about humanity. Exploring five major views—the substantive, functional, relational, filial, and Christological—James traces how each contributes to our understanding of human worth, purpose, and calling. But he doesn’t stop with theology. He challenges how modern culture often weaponizes the “image of God” language, embracing its benefits while ignoring its demands. This episode offers a robust, multi-faceted take on the Imago Dei—and it will reshape how you think about human dignity, personal responsibility, and discipleship in a world eager to affirm identity without submitting to the One who defines it.

Our host discuss justice in the broad sense of fairness, whether relating to business, interpersonal, political, financial or judicial contexts. What defines justice and how is it manipulated or misrepresented.

In this thought-provoking episode of Thinking Out Loud, Cameron and Nathan explore the unsettling rise of religious extremism in North America—particularly among evangelicals—and the tragic case of Vance Luther Bolter. They unpack how Christian language and imagery can be dangerously distorted to serve political or personal ideologies, drawing a sharp contrast between authentic discipleship and the misuse of faith as a tool for violence. With references to scripture, personal stories, and current events, this conversation challenges believers to reflect on political idolatry, dehumanizing rhetoric, and the moral consequences of unchecked speech.
