Should we be worried about teledildonics? *CONTENT WARNING. This episode contains frank descriptions of sexual practices of various kinds, and discussion of sexual assault and rape, including rape by deception.*Teledildonics is a word that refers to the use of networked electronic sex toys to facilitate sexual or quasi-sexual interactions between people at a distance. It's a relatively new type of technology, but one that is becoming more advanced. Clearly, it's a technology that opens up interesting new possibilities! But Robbie Arrell, Lecturer in Applied Ethics at the IDEA Centre, thinks it also raises some serious concerns, not all of which have yet been fully understood. In this conversation, Robbie outlines some of these worries, and begins to consider how we might address them.Some further reading:Robbie's chapter entitled "Sex and Emergent Technologies" in the Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Sex and Sexuality in which he discusses teledildonics: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003286523-49/sex-emergent-technologies-robbie-arrell.Robert Sparrow and Lauren Karas's paper "Teledildonics and Rape by Deception" that Robbie makes reference to in the podcast: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17579961.2020.1727097Ethics Untangled is produced by IDEA, The Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds.Twitter/X: @EthicsUntangledBluesky: @ethicsuntangled.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ideacetlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idea-ethics-centre/

John Goodwin, Executive Chairman of the Learning Economy Foundation, offers an insightful examination of how emergent technologies — particularly verified credentials and digital credentials — are set to transform global education and employment systems. Through his role, John advocates for leveraging technology as a public good to promote equity, mobility, and individual agency, especially in underserved populations. The Learning Economy Foundation, unlike traditional philanthropic organizations, focuses on developing open-source technologies and infrastructure that others can build upon, facilitating systemic change and innovation. A major theme in the conversation is the role of verified digital credentials, which allow individuals to hold digital versions of diplomas and certificates that carry the same credibility as traditional paper equivalents. These credentials have wide-ranging applications, from employment and education to areas like property rights, and aim to simplify and secure the transfer of qualifications across borders and systems. John emphasizes that the foundation is particularly focused on addressing gaps in the current education systems that fail to serve impoverished populations, especially in developing countries. By enabling the use of low-cost digital solutions, they hope to make a meaningful impact where educational inequity is most prevalent. John's past experience as CEO of the LEGO Foundation and his work with the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), a UN initiative, further illustrates his commitment to systemic change in education. He acknowledges the inherent challenges of shifting long-established systems but stresses the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration to drive meaningful progress. Systemic change, as John learned during his tenure at LEGO, cannot be achieved in isolation; it requires the cooperation of governments, educational institutions, businesses, and technologists working together toward a common goal. The conversation also touches on the importance of serendipity in this process. John highlights that while planning and strategy are vital, unexpected opportunities and collaborations often become key turning points. His reflections on embracing flexibility and agility offer a refreshing counterpoint to rigid planning in a field that demands innovation. John's vision for business education is also explored. As a board member of PRME, he champions the integration of responsible management practices into business school curricula, noting that one in three graduates globally come from business-related fields. He sees future leaders as vital to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), advocating for a broader understanding of success beyond profit maximization, focusing on the social and environmental impact of business decisions. John argues that the pace of change must accelerate to meet the urgency of the global challenges laid out by the SDGs. Thank you for downloading this episode of the Do One Better Podcast.

Today we're continuing the conversation on modular construction w/ Rommel Sulit and Chris Krager. Buckle up for some quotable quotes and impactful ideas in this episode. A recurring theme from part 1 is present here. Could it be the case that because modular delivery must rethink basic assumptions, it may be the first area of the AEC to do what the rest of the AEC is not. At core, the role of architecture is to create the link between design intent and what is actually built. This is not easy, nor simple. It means managing multiple streams of expertise and action so that they are effectively coordinated and integrated into a finished livable space.Modular requires a high resolution understanding of why we build the way we do, what are its strengths and weaknesses, and, particularly, where are the key leverage points to unlock change. Because as they say in this episode, there's no way around the reality that when it comes to AEC practices, We have to Pivot at somewhere. Modular delivery is perhaps, at heart, a recognition of this truth.Rommel SulitFounding Principal and Chief Operations Officer at Forge Craft Architecture + Design. With 25 years of experience, Rommel founded Forge Craft with Scott Grinder to improve lives through the art and science of architecture and design. Rommel developed his architectural philosophy working on projects that span demographics, geographies and types at the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) with Rem Koolhaas, Page Southerland Page, Rhode Partners and BOKA Powell. Before Forge Craft, Rommel's work in Europe and across the U.S. centered on ambitious, large scale urban developments. Rommel now oversees projects across Forge Craft's six Architecture + Design Craft Studios including Commercial, Affordable Housing, Interior Architecture, Residential Use, Modular Architecture and Emergent Technologies.Chris KragerChris Krager has a BA in Business Administration from Michigan State University, and he received his March First Professional from the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture. Krager formed KRDB (Krager & Associates, Design/Build), a develop/design/build company, in 2001 with the intention of creating financially accessible architecture, while focusing on sustainability in the urban environment (www.krdb.com). The firm's projects cover a broad range from single-family developments, small lot projects, mixed-use and multi-family developments, hotels, creative office, alternative senior living models, and more.KRDB's work has been recognized locally and nationally including winning the AIA Austin's prestigious “Firm Achievement Award” in its first year (2001).

How often do you think about modular construction? Is it an idea whose time has come? There are those who view it as the only path forward that realistically checks all the boxes - are they right? The potential is clear, modular project delivery can save time, save money, and positively impact our current and looming labor and skills crunch on the construction side of the AEC. There is no doubt that relative to the current norm, the “holy triumvirate” of owner, architect builder*, modular delivery represents a disruptive force within the AEC. Modular may be exactly the solutions we need but also one that we are not currently embracing at scale. Why is that? What are the challenges and the opportunities for modular design, construction and delivery? Join us today to unpack those questions and more. Whether you're a seasoned modular developer or just a curious newcomer and novice this podcast has something for you. Kristof is joined by Chris Krager and Rommel Sulit who, collectively have soaked up decades of experience and expertise in the modular space. One of the challenges to understanding modular design and construction is that it is dynamic and evolving. This confluence of financial, technical and material perspectives means different things at different times to different stakeholders. Along with our society and the AEC industry, modular has a path quality, it is not static, by some accounts where we are now is Gen 4 modular. To fulfill its potential modelar delivery needs to reach backward to influence the design process and also to reach forward to construction. This reality, while challenging, is long overdue and it is perhaps the most relevant and powerful benefit. It forces, or at least strongly encourages, the AEC to finally do integrated project design and delivery at scale. *Quote by Rommel in the podcastRommel SulitFounding Principal and Chief Operations Officer at Forge Craft Architecture + Design.

Ronald Beghetto talks with Laura McBain about how her experience as a middle and high school substitute teacher led her to thinking about design in education. She began thinking about what we could create in education to create more equitable futures--how can students and teachers help design better futures by reshaping education so it’s able to serve more students with distinct needs, as well as connect with the community? McBain mentions the importance of letting go of the idea that as educators we have to constantly predict what their future will look like, and let students take a more active role towards shaping their futures and their current learning experiences. She poses questions for us such as: How can we as educators be of service for the students in our care and develop their own agency? What are students doing now to shape their learning experiences, their communities, and their futures? You can learn more about  Laura McBain by following these links Linked In, d school,  K12 Lab.

Who said Architecture had to be buildings?! Consider that maybe 60-70% of the architectural work we do doesn't get built. Does that work still have value? Of course it does! Now consider that some of the fastest growing companies in the world right now might actually be architectural in nature, i.e. they employ a non-material solution to architectural and urban problems. Uber utilises tech to offer an alternative to transport infrastructure, Airbnb facilitates the movement of people without the need of new hotels and buildings. These are all ideas that wouldn't have been out of place as 5th year architectural proposals in progressive universities. Personally I think one the biggest latent opportunities for the architectural industry and for us as entrepreneurially minded architects is moving outside of what is traditionally considered architecture. This isn't new thinking particularly, after all Hans Hollein was talking about this in the 1960s. So it was with great pleasure to spend a morning with British Iranian Architect Omid Kamvari of Kamvari Architects and Pheromone to discuss exactly this and his work as an architect, researcher, educator, and entrepreneur. Omid specialised in Emergent Technologies and Design and is considered an expert in advanced digital design in architecture, lecturing internationally, on advanced manufacturing and design, robotics and algorithmic design. He holds positions at the university of Brighton and Nottingham, as a Senior lecturer on Technology. Omid has an astute business mind. He was responsible for numerous international short term education courses (Incubator/Accelerators) transforming standardised educational models. He has represented publicly listed companies at board level transforming internal structure and organisation and managing stakeholder and company growth. In this conversation you will hear Omid discuss - The potential for non-material solutions for architectural business - The latent opportunities that exist for architects, students and businesses in disciplines outside of the architecture such as in tech and data - How he co founded a smart and flexible data aggregation platform that collects business analytics for easy use This week's resources Discovery Call with Rion https://www.businessofarchitecture.co.uk/discoverycall Kamvari Architects http://www.kamvariarchitects.com Pheromone https://www.pheromone.io

Emergent technologies have already altered our lives profoundly and promise to do so even more in the near future – from the smart phones most of us carry around to 3D printing to augmented reality, like Pokémon Go.  But these innovations are seen as a fact of life – part of the march of progress – rather than something that comes with a steep price, and that we should have political say over. Urbanist Adam Greenfield talks about the hidden costs of these technologies. And Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro discusses the dangers of a leftwing environmentalism that focuses on overpopulation and civilizational collapse.

Marcelo tiene una de las mentes más brillantes y rápidas que conozco para tratar de pensar el futuro, entender el presente y ver cómo está evolucionando. Fue una conversación algo compleja pero muy rica. ¡No se la pierdan! Nos preguntamos hacia dónde está yendo el mundo, cuáles son posibles futuros, qué rol juega Marte en todo esto, cuánta gente se tendría que ir a Marte para que las cosas funcionen ahí, cómo van a evolucionar nuestros cuerpos, qué va a pasar con la inteligencia artificial y muchas cosas más. Marcelo Rinesi es científico de datos freelance y tecnólogo. Ha desarrollado software y modelos matemáticos para empresas de finanzas, juegos, seguridad, e-commerce, y marketing, entre otras áreas, en EE.UU., Europa, y América Latina. Es CTO del Institute for Ethics and Emergent Technologies, cofundador del grupo de arte + data Datasthesia y miembro del Instituto Baikal. Ha publicado o sido citado sobre la ética, política, y tecnología de inteligencias artificiales, gamificación y otras tecnologías emergentes en publicaciones como Forbes, Wired, Rolling Stone y Fast Company.
