Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh The numerous heated and hotly debated conflicts surrounding Israel are almost always threatening to boil over and cast the Middle East into unceremonious chaos. Ambassador Ron Dermer sits down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss the issues, the misnomers, and the underlying truths surrounding one of the most resilient peoples and countries in history. Ron Dermer is an American-born political consultant who served as Israel's Ambassador to the United States from 2013 to 2021. As Prime Minister Netanyahu's top advisor, Dermer was a driving force behind many of the era's most important diplomatic developments, such as the monumental Abraham Accords, which normalized Israel's relations with several Arab nations. Dermer earned a degree in Finance and Management from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) from Oxford University.  After moving to Israel, Dermer became a columnist for The Jerusalem Post and served as a close advisor to Natan Sharansky.  In 2004, he co-authored with Sharansky the best-selling book, “The Case For Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror,” which has been translated into ten languages. —Links—For Ambassador Ron Dermer:The Reform Islam Needs - https://www.city-journal.org/html/reform-islam-needs-12374.htmlProud to Have Been an American - https://www.nysun.com/article/opinion-proud-to-have-been-an-americanJohn Kerry is Wrong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=I_m1QlPxQ88Ron Dermers Podcast, “Diplomatically Incorrect”- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/diplomatically-incorrect-with-ambassador-ron-dermer/id1616923197?uo=4  —Chapters—(0:00) Coming Up(1:02) Intro(5:00) The Abraham Accords, Timeline of the Gulf(14:00) The 200 Pound Gorilla, Israel(18:15) Conflicting Goals(21:33) Saudi Arabia Moving Toward Peace?(26:21) Why do we reduce the complexities of the Middle East to a single conflict?(32:00) Shocked by the Numbers, Burundi(44:00) President Trump and the Middle East(50:09) A Bit Too Convenient(53:12) Israel's Right to Exist(1:00:23) Denying History, Crossing the Rubicon(1:10:43) Modernity VS.

In this inspiring episode Dr. Alfiee interviews guest Phillip Schermer, founder and CEO of Project Healthy Minds, a non-profit created for a new era of mental wellness. Phillip, who was previously a Vice President & Chief of Staff to the Vice Chairman at BlackRock, the world's largest asset management firm, was so moved by the story of Logic, a rapper and record producer, he started the non-profit to more impactfully bring together mental health resources. Logic shed light on mental health challenges by writing a song with the phone number of the  US National Suicide Prevention Lifeline as its title.  Called 1-800-273-8255, the song has dramatically increased calls for help and been known to save lives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb24RrHIbFk With 65 million people in the U.S. alone dealing with mental health challenges, Phillip is focusing on three primary drivers:1. The stigma. Where to get help. Lack of access to mental health resources.  TOPICS COVERED IN THIS INTERVIEW: –Bi-racial struggles with having a sense of identity. –”Generational loneliness.” –Applying to mental health an “aggregate model on scale” (like Expedia, OpenTable and other companies do) by creating one place on the Internet for all mental health services to be part of a hub. –Even the smartest and most savvy people have difficulty finding what they are looking for, Phillip explains.  And, others don't know the difference between a therapist, a psychologist and a psychiatrist.   –His goal also is to fill in the gaps, with data showing where there is a mismatch between demand and supply.  –COVID has escalated the mental health crisis significantly, with one out of four 18 to 24 years olds having seriously considered suicide.  COVID also has brought to the surface mental health issues that have been overlooked for a long time. –Mental health is now on “the same glide” as climate change has been for the past decade. –”We have to prove that employee mental health is material to the long-term financial performance of corporations,” Phillip says. Project Healthy Minds partners with some companies, and targets those who have CEOS and members on the leadership team who make mental health a priority, and who can be vulnerable about their own challenges. Phillip says an ideal partner would be Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, who in 2014 courageously became the first chief executive of a Fortune 500 company to publicly come out as gay. –The shift from a manual labor economy, where physical strength was important, to a knowledge-based economy means we need workers who are mentally strong and resilient now. Dr. Alfiee: “I love the imagery and idea that we have to take care of people because the economy is shifting and we want to be able to move in the direction that this economy is going.”  Phillip shares three observations since starting Project Healthy Minds: How people hide from full view who they are, and the trauma and pain they have encountered.  And, when high profile people like Logic share their mental health journeys, it reveals “the shared humanity we all have.” The shocking stigma around mental health that is also harmful and discriminatory. The hope of younger people from Gen X and millennials who have a different view of mental health and its priority.                                                                                                ABOUT PHILLIP SCHERMERFounder and CEO of Project Healthy Minds Phillip  is also Vice President and Chief of Staff to the Global Chief Marketing Officer at BlackRock.  In his current role at BlackRock, Philip is focused on a range of initiatives relating to the future of purpose-driven capitalism, brand strategy, content creation & distribution model, and strategic growth priorities for the business.  Before joining BlackRock, Phil worked in the Obama White House as an intern for the National Economic Council, for Warner Brothers Entertainment on the movie set of The Dark Knight Rises, for Summit Entertainment on the movie set of Perks of Being a Wallflower, and for Live Nation on U2's 360 tour. While in college, Phil founded MUSIC Matters, a student-run non-profit at the University of Michigan that hosts one of the largest social impact lifestyle festivals in the US. Business Insider recognized Phil for his work while on campus by naming him one of “The Most Impressive Students at the University of Michigan”.

Unser heutiger Gast hat in Oxford Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) studiert und dann in London noch einen Master in “South Asian Area Studies” drauf gesetzt. Sie hat direkt danach in Indien eine NGO gegründet und kehrte dann nach London zurück um bei der renommierten Unternehmensberatung Bain anzuheuern. Nach einer Station als Country Manager Deutschland bei “innocent” und einer sehr erfolgreichen Karriere bei KFC, zuletzt als General Manager für DACH und Dänemark gründete sie 2017 “TheNextWe”, ein Unternehmen das Coaching digitalisiert und damit skalierbar macht. Im gleichen Jahr wurde sie Mitglied im World Economic Forum als “Young Global Leader” und sie bekleidet seit dieser Zeit einige sehr interessante Bei- und Aufsichtsrat-Mandate. Ihr Buch “Der 2-Stunden Chef” ist ein mutiger und ermutigender Beitrag zum Thema New Leadership. In einem ihrer vielen klugen Sätze hat sie etwas gesagt, dass sie in eine Reihe der grossen Vordenkerinnen und Vordenker der “New Work” Bewegung einordnet: „Ich bin fest davon überzeugt: Jeder Mensch will Teil von etwas Großartigem sein“, Seit 4 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns nun schon mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. Wie kann ein Thema, das einen so wesentlichen Anteil in unserem Alltag einnimmt, wieder mehr Sinn in unserem Leben stiften? Was brauchen wir, damit wir aus der Corona Krise gestärkt hervorgehen und die wenigen positiven Effekte wie der verbesserter Umgang mit Remote-Tools nicht wieder verpufft. Was können wir tun, damit mehr Menschen die Chance bekommen, sich beruflich auf die großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit vorzubereiten, um sich dann aktiv bei der Lösung dieser Aufgaben einbringen zu? Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Dabei beschäftigt uns immer wieder auch die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work heute mit der wunderbaren Insa Klasing!

Rutger Claassen is Professor of Political Philosophy and Economic Ethics at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies of Utrecht University. Most of his research is at the intersection of politics, economics and ethics, asking fundamental theoretical and normative questions about the way our economies are structured. Currently, he is the principal investigator of a research project on The Business Corporation as a Political Actor, funded by the European Research Council (ERC-Consolidator Grant, 2M euro). In this project, he investigates the societal role and legitimacy of business corporations. Also, he is the principal investigator of a 750K euro research project funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) on Private Property & Political Power in Liberal-Democratic Societies. In the field of socio-economic justice, he defends a version of the capability approach – pioneered by economist Amartya Sen and philosopher Martha Nussbaum, which focuses on the development of personal capabilities instead of material resources as the central criterion for a just society. In his monograph Capabilities in a Just Society. A Theory of Navigational Agency (Cambridge University Press, 2018) he argues for a capability approach centered on a notion of autonomous agency. He has published in journals such as Economic & Philosophy, Inquiry, Law & Philosophy, Journal of Social Philosophy and Politics, Philosophy & Economics. Rutger Claassen obtained his PhD in 2008 from Utrecht University for a dissertation about the moral limits of markets. He was assistant professor at Leiden University and a visiting scholar at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbour and Humboldt Universität in Berlin. At Utrecht University, Rutger Claassen was the first Program Director of the new BA-program in Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE), which started in September 2018. He also regularly publishes articles and books in Dutch, and gives lectures and interviews so as to bring philosophy to a broader audience. For years, he was the co-organizer of a monthly Philosophical Café in Utrecht.

Skip Ahead 1:10: How does it feel to be the recipient of a Genius award? 2:09: What is the ratio of women in major philosophy departments? 2:40: What do you plan to do with the MacArthur grant? 5:35: If I may, let's discuss some of the things related to our work at the Centre, which is about governance arrangements, the relationship between formal and informal governance structures. And in your case you've done this interesting work on what I would describe as the governance of the employment relationship, and that work as I understand it really builds on your previous work thinking about what equality means or should mean. 9:05: You make some strong and provocative claims in the book arguing that some of the powers that employers have are equivalent to those you see in dictatorial regimes. I think at some point you say it's almost as though the management of those firms resembles a communist dictatorship. 12:15: It really is challenging the way you list these kind of practices. Most people would have a gut reaction, that was certainly my sense when I read about this. But I was also thinking… how do you situate an understanding of the kind of abusive relationships that happen in these corporate environments with many other aspects of life? … I guess the argument would be, human beings aren't always very humane. And this is true in all aspects of life. So if we're thinking about the role of that private government plays in contributing to domination, we also need to have an understanding of the sources of domination outside of work. I didn't feel you said all that much about that in the book. 16:39: Why on your account do you think that in this employment relationship we see these kinds of practices that lead to the domination of people? 19:25: Thinking about the arguments that economists would typically make in these situations, people would argue that if the employment relationship is really not working out for a worker or if there's some kind of abuse… all that really matters is the existence of exit options. Is there competition operating in the labour market, etc. 24:35: Why do we not see greater movement to things like worker cooperatives? 27:27: Why do you take the argument that market forces themselves don't lead to a sufficient treatment of workers? Is it basically that the labour market isn't sufficiently competitive? Or is it a legal situation? 29:15: I think this is where you deliver a very powerful challenge to classical liberal or libertarian type arguments. Because people from that perspective are basically making arguments that we ought to focus on making constitutional limits on government power… but you're actually saying that we should think about constitutional limitations on this private government power. 33:20: Do you see the solution just coming from the state itself through a democratic structure introducing regulation into these situations or do you see other vehicles? 37:22: How does co-determination address situations where part of the abuse is coming from other workers? 39:07: On the empirical side of this… you're obviously quite sympathetic toward the German type co-determination model, but how do you compare the outcomes of that model with those of alternatives? 44:41: What I take from that is there isn't a one size fits all model… this is very much a pragmatic search for a solution, and that there are multiple different types of approaches depending on the cultural context, which can interact with the functioning of the labour market. 45:46: It sounds like one reading of pragmatism could be an argument for a focus on quite decentralised arrangements to tackle these problems. One of the thinkers that inspires our work at this centre is Elinor Ostrom…. Although would the polycentric arrangements not be subject to some of the forms of domination you're talking about? 47:22: So you're not going to recommend that we roll out the German style model everywhere? 47:45: Do you think there are any insights from what you're saying here about how we think about employment relationships outside the western context? 50:01: Thinking about your overall approach to political philosophy, what I really enjoy about your work is that you bring together insights from economics to inform political philosophy and vice versa. And that's very much in what I would call a PPE tradition of research. Is that informing the kind of project you've been engaging with? How do you see the state of PPE research at this point in time?

Welcome to the 43rd CONKERS’ CORNER recorded on 25th March 2017 at the Master Investor Show in Islington. In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking to Jim Mellon @jimmhk the renowned serial entrepreneur, self-made multi-millionaire investor, best selling author and the owner of the Master Investor Show. As one of Britain’s richest individuals with his wealth estimated to be exceeding £900 million, Jim has been described as our very own Warren Buffett. The son of a diplomat, he read Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Oxford University, where he attained his Master’s Degree. However unlike many of his peers, he chose not go into the world of politics as he had travelled widely whilst he was young and had always intended to travel as soon he finished his studies. He was offered six jobs and chose to begin his career as a trainee Fund Manager with GT Management (now owned by Invesco) in Hong Kong. He has readily admitted that at the time, “I only had a vague idea of the workings of shares and bonds”. Jim made a great success of his time with GT Management, however when he was around 24 years of age his first boss and mentor at GT, Richard Thornton left the business. They sent about setting up their own Fund Management business and co-founded Thornton Management. By the time Jim was 28 years of age he was millionaire. After more than six years with Thornton, Jim set up his own business in 1991, now known as Charlemagne Capital and Regent Pacific. Alongside these businesses, he also has a private investment company, the Burnbrae Group, which makes up most of his vast investment endeavours, all of which have made him a potential future self made investor billionaire. Jim has also co-written several best selling books with Al Chalabi which you can find here http://www.burnbrae.com/books . Their new book “Juvenescence: Investing in the Age of longevity” will be released next month, and you can pre-order a copy now at https://www.juvenescence-book.com/ . For those that are intrigued by the title of the book, Juvenescence means “the state or period of being young”. The book discusses the benefits of a healthy life; what is good and detrimental for us and the breakthrough technologies that will enable all of us to live longer, as well as potentially invest in. In the discussion and video with Jim, he provides an insight into the journey that he has taken, which so far has encompassed Fund Management, Investing, Emerging Markets, Asia, Russia, America, Technology, Healthcare, being an Author, Private Investor and much much more.

Kathleen Sullivan praises the tutorial system and her Oxford education, explaining how it has contributed to her successful career in academia and the courtroom. She shares her experiences as the former Dean of Stanford Law School, and refers to her work representing major companies in the US Supreme Court. A Marshall scholar, Sullivan read Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Wadham College in Oxford, where she developed her love of constitutional law, as well as interests in rowing and acting. She talks about the ‘enduring bond’ between alumni and their alma mater, describes becoming a named partner at the major law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan, and speaks of her faith in US political institutions ahead of the presidential race for the White House. This interview was recorded in Washington DC before the Alumni Weekend in North America in April 2016.

Multi-talented alumnus Tom McMillen describes his extraordinary life as a professional basketball player, scholar, politician and businessman. At 6’ 11’’ and from a sporty family, the American was always destined for basketball, and he played at the highest levels, including in the controversial final between the US and USSR at the Olympic Games in 1972. A Rhodes scholarship to read Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at University College in Oxford followed, and he juggled his studies simultaneously with a professional basketball career. After 11 years playing in the NBA, McMillen embarked on his political career, serving three consecutive terms as a Democratic Congressman for Maryland. In this interview, McMillen also reflects upon his ‘multiple career disorder’, discusses US politics, and predicts victory for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race for the White House. The interview was recorded at the Alumni Weekend in North America in Washington DC in April 2016.
