If this keeps up, we might all long to have the machines take over. In this episode, the Inflation Guy discusses the victory of a socialist candidate in the New York City mayoral primary this week - and, even if we would like to hope that he has no chance of winning in the general election...he does. Ergo, we should probably think a little bit about what socialism means for inflation. Really, nothing about socialism is great. And that includes inflation.

Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Plansecur: Frühstart- und Aktivrente begrüßenswert – aber unzureichend Die Finanzberatungsgruppe Plansecur begrüßt die geplante Frühstart- und Aktivrente der Bundesregierung, warnt jedoch vor falschen Erwartungen: „10 EUR im Monat sind ein gutes Signal – mehr aber auch nicht“, so Geschäftsführer Heiko Hauser. Er fordert eine klare Kommunikation und verweist auf offene Fragen zur Umsetzung. Finanzbildung müsse laut Plansecur in den Schulunterricht aufgenommen werden, um nachhaltige Altersvorsorge zu fördern. R+V: Nils Reich wird Komposit-Vorstand Die R+V Versicherung bekommt zum 15. September 2025 einen neuen Komposit-Vorstand: Nils Reich übernimmt das Ressort von Klaus Endres, der im April das neugeschaffene Ressort Operations und IT leitete. Reich kommt von Axa, wo er zuletzt als CEO Health das weltweite Krankenversicherungsgeschäft verantwortete. Der promovierte Mathematiker bringt umfassende Expertise aus dem Schaden-/Unfallgeschäft mit – unter anderem aus seiner Zeit als Komposit-Vorstand bei Axa Deutschland. Ab 2026 wird auch der Maklervertrieb Teil seines Ressorts. Lohnfortzahlung kürzen? Mehrheit der Arbeitgeber hält das für kontraproduktiv Die Reduktion der Lohnfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall ist laut einer aktuellen Studie von TK, IFBG und Haufe bei Arbeitgebern mehrheitlich unbeliebt: Rund 65 % der über 1.500 befragten Unternehmen halten die Maßnahme für nicht hilfreich zur Produktivitätssteigerung. Nur 23 % sehen darin einen Nutzen. Besonders restriktiv äußerten sich Geschäftsführer, während Personal- und Gesundheitsverantwortliche deutlich zurückhaltender waren. TK-Chef Dr. Jens Baas warnt: Kürzungen könnten zu längeren Krankheitsausfällen führen – entscheidend seien gesundheitsfördernde Strukturen und eine wertschätzende Unternehmenskultur. ERGO führt digitale Notfallkarte für Reisende ein Die ERGO Reiseversicherung bietet ihren Reisekrankenversicherungskunden ab sofort eine digitale Notfallkarte an, die in der Wallet-App von Android- und iOS-Geräten gespeichert werden kann.

Interview with Niël Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/sustainable-gold-silver-producers-showcase-new-value-creation-model-6117Recording date: 13th May 2025DRDGOLD Limited (NYSE:DRD) has established a distinctive position in the gold mining industry with its innovative approach of recovering gold from historical mine tailings rather than conventional underground mining. This South African producer combines environmental remediation with profitable gold production in a waste-neutral business model that's proving particularly effective in today's strong gold market.Under CEO Niël Pretorius's leadership, DRDGOLD is executing a major infrastructure investment program to extend the operational life of its assets through 2040. The company recently completed a 60 MW solar power facility and is implementing a 180 MW battery energy storage system, addressing previous power challenges. Additional investments include new tailings storage facilities and expanded processing capacity at both its Ergo and Far West Gold Recoveries (FWGR) operations.What stands out about DRDGOLD's growth strategy is that it remains entirely self-funded. Strong gold prices have driven record performance, allowing the company to maintain its 18-year dividend streak while simultaneously funding its capital expansion program without external financing. By FY2028, DRDGOLD targets a combined processing throughput of 3 million tonnes per month and annual gold production of approximately 200,000 ounces.The company's ESG credentials are compelling. Rather than generating new mining waste, DRDGOLD processes legacy tailings and deposits them into modern facilities with superior environmental standards. This approach enables concurrent rehabilitation of mining sites and reduces final closure costs.DRDGOLD's business model offers several advantages over traditional mining operations. With approximately 5.5 million ounces of gold resources already above ground in tailings, the company faces minimal geological risk. Its engineering-focused approach emphasizes processing efficiency and consistent output, functioning almost like a gold-processing factory.The company maintains a no-hedging policy, providing investors with full exposure to gold price increases. This strategy aligns with broader macroeconomic trends supporting gold, including geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and growing interest in hard assets.DRDGOLD also prioritizes organizational continuity and talent development, with nearly half its workforce now comprising women and a new generation of young professionals advancing through the ranks. This stable management team and strong corporate culture support the company's long-term vision of optimized resource recovery coupled with responsible environmental stewardship.View DRDGOLD's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/drdgold-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS MAY 16 @https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking It seems clear now in hindsight that the May 12 Scorpio Full Moon asked us--& asks us still in the waning portion of this month's lunar cycle--to release any attachment to making sudden changes in, or reversals of, long held, deeply felt values.In essence, the May 12 lunation served as a warning that a sudden change in values may not serve the overall evolutionary process--which understands that things cannot remain the same forever but also that change must occur slowly because that is how the evolutionary process works. Ergo, we need to release our tendency to decide to suddenly do an about face vis-a-vis our long held traditional values.This becomes even clearer when we remember two things: That Pluto is now transiting through the Uranus-ruled sign of Aquarius, denoting that evolutionary change over the long term is necessary & that it may be led by the eventual progressive empowerment of groups; & that the U.S. is undergoing still its Pluto return which began in February 2022.The Taurus Sun normally does not like change. It likes its creature comforts & finds security in its resources, including land, money, and its physical body & possessions. In short, Taurus is reluctant to change what it deems pleasurable. And what's pleasurable is what Taurus values.However, when the Taurus Sun exact conjoins sudden change maker Uranus on May 17—particularly in stubborn change resistant Taurus—the Uranian principle that the longer change has been resisted the more sudden & shocking it will seem when it inevitably occurs becomes prevalent. In addition, Uranus, which rules Aquarius, tends to bring us sudden—sometimes shocking & often unexpected—revelations with lightning speed that provide us stark clarity. That's why astrologers often refer to Uranus as the “great awakener.”The Sun also represents the leader in mundane astrology. And, what's changing rapidly now is related to his or her personal values, rather than those of the collective (read: the people.) Given that Neptune's now in Aries, we are seeing an awakening, or new birth if you will, of the need for freedom of choice within the greater collective, especially in America.And this has presented us with a dilemma in terms of this nation's long held values around equality & freedom from tyranny. The current U.S. Pluto return, in effect for several years ahead still, denotes that adaptation will be necessary in order to avoid total extinction of the democratic process here.This podcast takes a deep dive into the sudden, recently attempted changes to both the 236 year-old U.S. Constitution & its long held & accepted legal premise around issues such as habeas corpus & the right to due process, the emoluments clause, birthright citizenship, and more. While it's true that the U.S. Constitution is in need of a modern-day upgrade, sudden change is not the way. That's because we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater in terms of its basic principles such as that “all men are created equal,” and that the U.S. Government is one “of the people, by the people, for the people.”What will be necessary in the years to come, under the tutelage of Pluto in Aquarius, will be an update to the meaning of these words. “All men,” for example should not mean only White male Christian aristocratic landowners or corporate robber barons. It must extend its humanitarian Aquarian nature into a more collectively Neptunian sense that ALL humans deserve equal rights—including minorities, women, immigrants, LGBTQ+, etc.--& that corporations & billionaires must not tyrannically control the masses. These are the immediate issues to ponder as transiting Jupiter in Gemini forms a square to the transiting Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node, which urges us to move away from trying to control every aspect of our environment & toward relaxing into a more empathic, inclusive one. This is especially true right now in terms of Jupiter-related archetypes: law, immigration, higher education, religion, & a free press (read: freedom of speech.) As we move toward the third quarter monthly “crisis in consciousness” lunar square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun on May 20, the tension between groups of people and a stubborn pleasure-loving executive may become even more palpable. Perhaps objections by the people to our president accepting a $400 million “palace in the sky” jet from Qatar IS a violation of the American Constitution & a step too far, eh?When the Sun enters Gemini later that day, perhaps there will be an about face, as Gemini can be fickle. And, since America's current president's natal Sun/Uranus conjunction in Gemini has proven to be part of how American policy is decided at this point, a change of mind is always possible. If nothing else, the Gemini archetype is good at both being mentally adaptable as well as adept at making an about face.Next week's Mercury/Uranus conjunction in Taurus may well lead to an unexpected announcement of some kind by May 23, especially since Mercury enters its own sign of Gemini May 25. Perhaps more deals will be made & announced, who knows? We already have a lot of that going on, including the possibility of some kind of move toward a resolution of the war by Russia against Ukraine based on current discussions between the two now.Meanwhile, there's lots to say about Saturn's upcoming entrance into Mars-ruled Aries on November 24, too, so be sure to tune into https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking starting today May 16, & catch up on all the latest Astro News You Can Use! See you then! Namaste…
In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with John Purdy, co-founder of Ergo and a seasoned leader who has helped shape the Irish tech landscape over the past three decades. From launching Ergo in 1993 with just a handful of people to scaling it into one of Ireland's top IT services companies, John shares the highs, the hard decisions, and the philosophies that guided him through it all. John shares a rare behind-the-scenes look at how he scaled Ergo without external investment and spun out an eventual unicorn, Fenergo, along the way. He opens up about the emotional and strategic decision to step away as CEO after 28 years, and what he's doing now to give back—both to founders and to causes close to his heart. If you're building a business or figuring out what comes after success, this is the playbook. Show Notes: In this episode, we cover:

Am 22. Mai wäre Jean Tinguely 100 Jahre alt geworden. Zum Jubiläum lässt es das Museum Tinguely in Basel spuken. Moderatorin Nina Mavis Brunner wagt als erste eine Fahrt durch die Kunst-Geisterbahn und begleitet Jean-Marc Gaillard, der Tinguelys Maschinen am Leben hält; für Basel und die ganze Welt. Zum Jubiläumsfest am 22. Mai wartet das Museum Tinguely in Basel mit einer kunstvollen Geisterbahn auf. Im Solitude Park wird die Wiener Prater Geisterbahn aus den 1930er Jahren, die einst auf der Basler Herbstmesse Kult war, zu neuem Leben erweckt. Die britische Künstlerin Rebecca Moss und der Künstler Augustin Rebetez, der in der Westschweiz lebt und arbeitet, gestalten den Innenraum der historischen Bahn komplett neu. Die Kollaboration ist eine Referenz auf die gigantische Installation «Le Crocrodrome de Zig et Puce», die Tinguely 1977 zusammen mit Bernhard Luginbühl, Daniel Spoerri und Niki de Saint Phalle zur Eröffnung des Centre Pompidou in Paris kreierte. «Kulturplatz»-Moderatorin Nina Mavis Brunner hat sich in die Geisterbahn gewagt. Ebenfalls wird der runde Geburtstag mit diversen Ausstellungen im In- und Ausland gefeiert. Ergo gehen Tinguelys Werke aus Basel auf Reisen. Heikel, denn die Maschinen sind fragil. Trotz Eisen. Jede Bewegung bedeutet: dem Tod ein Stückchen näher. Dass die meisten aber auch heute noch laufen, ist nicht zuletzt Jean-Marc Gaillard zu verdanken, der dem Meister noch fünf Jahre lang vor dessen Tod 1991 persönlich assistierte. Seit 2003 ist Gaillard Konservator am Museum Tinguely, baut mit seinen Kollegen Maschinen des Künstlers weltweit auf und ab und sucht nächtelang im Internet nach Ersatzteilen, um «Jeannots» Werke so originalgetreu wie nur irgend möglich am Leben zu erhalten. Denn wenn das Räderwerk nicht mehr dreht, wird es seiner Seele beraubt.

It's been just over 20 years since the Battle of Fallujah, a bloody campaign in a destructive Iraq War that we now know was based on a lie. But back then, in the wake of 9/11, the battlefield was filled with troops who believed in serving and defending the country against terrorism. “Going to Fallujah was the most horrific experience of our lives,” said Mike Ergo, a team leader for the US Marines Alpha Company, 1st Battalion. “And it was also, for myself, the most alive I've ever felt.”This week on Reveal, we're partnering with the nonprofit newsroom The War Horse to join Ergo's unit as they reunite and try to make sense of what they did and what was done to them. Together, they remember Bradley Faircloth, the 20-year-old lance corporal from their unit who lost his life, and unpack the mental and emotional battles that continue for them today.This episode originally aired in January 2025.

American culture and the 'melting pot' through the eyes of Gene Valentino and his guest Nicole Kiprilov. Both are guests/contributors on Newsmax. An appreciation of America is explored. The Democrat takedown with and through the 'Deep State' has failed. Nicole reveals her insight of the return of America as a Millennial. She explains the 'gaslighting' of America has failed. Ergo, 80-million Americans supported Donald Trump, turning their backs on the leftist ideology. She explains that Pete Hegseth has exposed what's gone wrong at the Pentagon. Whether it's DEI or Transgender initiatives in the Defense Department, she claims Pete Hegseth has exposed blatant hypocrisy. The DOGE initiatives have not even touched the Defense Department yet. They will. Democrats using NGO's to fuel the entry of Democrats into office, was/is a deep state complicit strategy that almost worked. The key question is; will the Republicans organize to the level necessary to stave-off the deep state threat from the left in the future? The bureaucracy that Donald Trump is breaking up IS the 'deep state' that was taking down America. This deep state bureaucracy is failing. Time for Constitutional Amendments to address BAD BEHAVIOR of elected officials and staff.

The growth of Ireland's digital economy has created both significant opportunities and challenges for businesses across all sectors. Approximately 41% of goods and services produced in Ireland are now transacted digitally, including both digitally ordered and digitally delivered products. As a result, cyber threats pose serious risks not only to individual businesses but also to the broader economy. Cyber threats are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated, and ransomware attacks globally and in Ireland, are on the rise, with global security spending expected to grow by 12.2% year-on-year in 2025. If an organisation's backup solution is not immutable, it can be entirely compromised by cyber-attack, making an organisation not only vulnerable to losing business critical data but also negatively impacting its bottom line due to unplanned downtime, reputational damage and potential regulatory penalties. Figures from Ireland's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) show more than 5,000 cyberattacks were reported by companies in Ireland in 2023 with an unknown quantity of unreported attacks. Regulatory pressure in the form of NIS2, DORA, CER, PART-IS, have also forced organisations across most sectors, to have cyber resilience policies and protections in place. In today's world, businesses must be more resilient and prepared for the potential risks and threats inherent with digital platforms. Ergo's new offering, available in Ireland and Northern Ireland, leverages the latest technologies and best practices to provide an end-to-end approach to cyber resilience, from backup management and rigorous testing to 24/7 monitoring and incident response. In the event of an incident, Ergo's Cyber Resilience and Cyber Recovery Service offering, ensures that businesses can recover efficiently and effectively. Commenting on the launch, Lorne Chedzey, CIO at Ergo said: "With the increasing prevalence of cyber threats, it's no longer a question of if, but when, a business will need to recover from an incident. We've seen an uptick in the number of attacks targeting organisations of all sizes, which show no signs of slowing down, and if we follow the trends, are only going to get worse. "With scores of Irish organisations reporting significant instances of cyberattacks as reported by the NCSC each year, something needs to change. "Our new Cyber Resilience and Cyber Recovery Service Offering is designed to provide peace of mind, ensuring our clients are prepared for whatever comes their way. World Backup Day is a timely reminder of the importance of both data protection and robust cyber resilience."

Good police work is rarely done from the barrel of a gun - that sort of thing is for emergencies. Ergo, good super hero work follows the same rules. Just because it's possible to use laser vision or throw a car into the sun, that doesn't mean you can really stop crime by doing so. Good super hero work means identifying the crime, gathering evidence, and following the rules. Usually.
The connection between technology and psychology may not be immediately apparent but our instincts when under attack, wherever the threat may come from, are often surprisingly similar. Lorne Chedzey, Chief Information Officer at Ergo, delves into the parallels between technology and psychology. As both a technology specialist and someone who has spent many years studying the human science of psychology, I have witnessed a parallel between how humans behave when facing a psychological threat, and how many CISO's and IT leaders behave when facing the potential threat of a data breach. Information technology is a product of the human mind so perhaps this is not too surprising. However, we can gain some insights from psychology that can be useful, like how the powerful human forces of fear and acceptance can play a key role in our cyber resilience strategy, and what to look out for as common pitfalls in strategic thinking. Many years ago, during my psychology degree, I studied the stress response, writing my thesis around the effectiveness of various coping mechanisms. It's human nature to focus on trying to prevent something unpleasant and the human body has developed a "fight or flight" response to respond to threatening events, which is often the cause for many people to suffer from a chronic stress response as well as anxiety. These symptoms can be incredibly debilitating for some people, and they were born during our evolution where this response, which raises cortisol levels in the bloodstream can lead to action, to flee from the bear chasing us through the woods. In modern times, we still feel the same feelings, but our environment is very different. When we have unpleasant experiences today, we often protect ourselves from these psychologically threatening events with defence mechanisms, such as avoidance. This can sometimes be effective in warding off the initial threat, but by doing so, we are not preparing ourselves for a time when we cannot avoid this situation. When this happens, the situation can cause considerable psychological damage. This coping strategy is only affective when we can control the variables. To draw parallels to the cyber-security realm, IT leaders have built a fortress, of prevention technologies, with firewalls, identity and access management systems, which are all effective at avoiding the threat of a cyber-attack. All of this is needed to protect their organisations valuable data from falling into the wrong hands, which is why it is a wise strategy to pursue. However, this alone is of no use if you do eventually get breached, and you are in a situation where you're facing a threat where you are not in control of the variables, and there is a risk of considerable business and reputational damage, as well as a lot of stress. If someone is struggling with chronic stress because they are finding it difficult to cope with external factors, sometimes it's helpful to understand where the issue is coming from, so that they can identify the root cause and start to do something about it. Often counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy can be useful in this instance. A good therapist will delve deeply into thoughts, and feelings, and how these may result in specific behaviours. This can sometimes provide someone with an "aha" moment, where they can link an external stimulus, to a thought, and then onto a behaviour. This can be effective at changing behaviour and reducing the stress response. From a cyber security perspective, it is the instigation of observability tools to identify and analyse where there may be potential breaches. Using SIEM systems to collect and analyse event logs can detect potential threats that could be a root cause to a possible breach. Utilising vulnerability management systems to identify systems, networks and software that may have holes that need to be plugged. This exploration work is very effective at understanding where the root cause of a breach may occur, and gives an...

Hello there folks, this is your official notification that the School of Movies Summer Commissions season window is now open. And it's a special case this time around. Originally this run was meant to pay for our second family vacation, the last one being back in 2017. We're going to Italy. But the week after we booked it our landlord of nine years dropped the bomb on us that he needed to renovate our home, so we're out by the end of March with all the moving costs and the sudden spike in rent that this is going to entail. And upon hearing this my computer of nine years decided now was the time to begin a slow collapse. I have been having problems with it for a few years now, but I'm having to replace the whole thing with a brand new workstation that should hopefully last me the best part of a decade. Which means a huge amount of money is to be paid in a very short span of time. Ergo this window wis open for the foreseeable future. I already have four shows lined up from the earliest of Discord community, but I want to leave this open in the hopes of repairing our shattered finances. We're going to be okay, we aren't going to starve and we won't be turfed into the street, but every commission will help us right now. So if you have a suggestion get in touch in the usual ways, email, Patreon message, Discord and I guess Bluesky and whatever fascist-platforming mutant helllbeast Twitter has become this week. Each movie show is a standard of $150 via a single Paypal payment to help us sort and declare everything come tax season, TV and video games cost more, depending on the time and effort required to complete them. I will allow suggestions for anime and comics. Wish us luck as at the time of publication we have less than a month to leave the only place that has ever felt like a real home and as yet we have no house to move to. What I want is stability and for the way to be clear for us to carry on recording School of Movies every week. That's my goal for the year. What really should be the watchword for the 21st Century: Sustainability.

There is a popular saying in America that offers succinct insight into our culture. I think it was coined by Gen-X, but I'm not sure. What I do know is that this cliché is unique, because the only way to understand it is by hearing the speaker's tone.The expression is a reply to the American greeting, “How's it going?”, and, at face value, the response, “I'm living the dream,” sounds nice. However, as all native speakers know, this can imply that the person is elated, or absolutely miserable!Which, full circle, is the best example I can think of to illustrate the impossibly inconsistent reality of “life in America.” For some, “life's a dream,” but for others, it's an endless, devastating slog of 40+hour work weeks with little to no time off.I won't bore you with statistics, but suffice it to say it's common knowledge now that Americans, for decades, have been taking less vacations and paid-time off than other first-world countries, even the ones bosses love to stereotype as “worse than us.”Why does this matter? It matters because Americans now use, “I'm too tired from work” as an excuse for everything, even giving up on ourselves and others, and it's harming society. People are now “too tired” to be healthy, spend time with family, keep in touch with friends, and care about their community, and the result? Obesity, crime, suicide, and “low information” rates are skyrocketing “from sea to shining sea.”I started writing about the conspicuous meanings for “I'm living the dream” because it's a “binary term” that exposes our division, but I also think it's important to study because it uses sarcasm, a relatively new, but now stable aspect of American culture. Sarcasm is my favorite rhetorical device—FULL STOP. I'm deeply sarcastic, and it gets me in trouble all the time. For example, I often offend others with “wry jokes” about my son's abduction, and I recently made a sarcastic joke about an item in a stranger's grocery cart that 99% of us would get, but she didn't, and I hurt her feelings.However, the older I get, the more I see the disturbing reason for why and how people like me are so attracted to sarcasm. It's because, sometimes, it's a device we can use to deceive others when we're emotionally broken and can't handle our devastation.Like, I obviously don't find anything funny about what my ex-wife has done with our son and how it's affected him, me, my family, and even my friends, all of whom abruptly lost access to a boy we love and had been investing our hearts into.Ergo, it's probably not funny when someone is asked, “How are you?” and their impulse is to employ a sarcastic comment about The American Dream to mask the fact that they're emotionally broken from their participation in our “work culture.” Which makes sense, since some jobs are degrading and others are meaningless, and in both cases, they embitter the person to the point where they feel like they aren't valuable or valued, both of which create resentment. This is how “classism” works.But there's a third reason many Americans have a sarcastic opinion of our “work culture,” and this is why many of us feel like social order is breaking down. The other reason our working-class has resentment against the system/culture is because many Americans have jobs that are not degrading and do have meaning, but they're forced to do it so much that it bleeds into their “regular life” and this is why we now use the scariest term I've ever heard in my life: “work-life balance.” If you really think about this term, it's psychotic. It implies that we have a life, and then a “non-life” called work. That's deranged, and it ‘promotes' rage and apathy.And before you call me “pink,” I know that “work” and capitalism aren't the problem. People are resentful in socialist and communist countries too. What people resent is feeling like they're not helping the team, or that the team is taking them for granted.Here's my advice (because you shouldn't complain unless you offer a solution):Few, if any of us, can stop corporations from “doing what corporations do,” but all of us can give compassion to people with degrading or meaningless jobs, and we can also show compassion to wealthy people who were bamboozled into trading free time for money. These people might have more than others think they need, but they also suffer as they age and realize that instead of “living,” they worked all the time.The point I'm trying to make, and I think it's consistent, is that with deep, philosophical inquiry, it's possible to understand people who are not like us and whom we will never be like, and with this process comes great peace. No wise person ever said “love everyone,” let alone “like everyone.” What they say, over and over again, is “accept everything,” which includes “bad” systems and “bad” people.I love the environment and so do you! After all, the environment gives us everything we love and need, from the oxygen we breathe, to the junk food we eat, standing over the trashcan at 11pm (Just me?). That's why I think you should listen to my interview with David Auge, a prominent figure in the field of environmental management. David is on a mission to transform the humanities' approach to looking at sustainability issues. He is a Certified Sustainable Development Professional, Energy Manager, Hazardous Material Manager, a registered Professional Engineer. He's also really, really, like super-duper smart.

It's been 20 years since the Battle of Fallujah, a bloody campaign in a destructive Iraq War that we now know was based on a lie. But back then, in the wake of 9/11, the battlefield was filled with troops who believed in serving and defending the country against terrorism. “Going to Fallujah was the most horrific experience of our lives,” said Mike Ergo, a team leader for the US Marines Alpha Company, 1st Battalion. “And it was also, for myself, the most alive I've ever felt.”This week on Reveal, we're partnering with the nonprofit newsroom The War Horse to join Ergo's unit as they reunite and try to make sense of what they did and what was done to them. Together, they remember Bradley Faircloth, the 20-year-old lance corporal from their unit who lost his life, and unpack the mental and emotional battles that continue for them today.

Welcome back to Fashion and Founders the Podcast. My name is Victoria Smith and this week I am joined by Claire Stepanek, the founder and CEO of Ergo. Have you ever wondered how brands decide on the price of an item. Or why it seems like brands always have a 10% off sale? Maybe you would buy something if it was $25 instead of $28? Claire is building Ergo, a shopify tool that allows potential customers to make an offer of their best price when shopping. Providing brands with real time pricing analytics and empowering customers to have a voice in the shopping transaction. If youre used to sending an offer on second hand platforms like ebay or depop Ergo is bringing a version of this to everyday online shopping by allowing customers to tell brands their desired price. Claire went to MIT and worked at Goldman Sachs, Apple, and Doordash before starting Ergo in 2023. She has so much knowledge to share on fashion tech, fundraising, and more.

Thanksgiving bonus! Join me for a sleep story as I read the mind twisting short story from John Foster West Cogit Ergo Sum. "I think, therefore I am. That was the first thought I had. Of course not in the same symbols, but with the same meaning. I awakened, or came alive, or came into existence suddenly, at least my mental consciousness did. "Here am I," I thought, "but what am I, why am I, where am I?" I had nothing to work with except pure reason. I was there because I was not somewhere else. I was certain I was there and that was the extent of my knowledge at the moment. I looked about me—no, I reasoned about me. I was surrounded by nothingness, by black nothingness, a vacuum. Immense distances away I could detect light; or rather, I could perceive waves of force passing around me which originated at points vast distances away, vast in relation to my position in the nothingness. There were waves of force all about me, varying in frequency. The nothingness was alive with waves of force, traveling parallel and tangential to each other without seeming to interfere one with another. I measured them, differentiated between them and finished with the task in a matter of seconds. How could I do it? It was one of the capabilities I was created with. What was I? I perceived the waves of force. I perceived great quantities of mass—solid, liquid, gas—whirling in vacuum, mass built up out of patterns of basic force. I searched my own being, analyzed myself. I was not gas. I was not solid. I was not even force. Yet I existed. I could reason. I was a beginning, a sudden beginning. And I had duration because I knew that time had elapsed since the moment I awakened though I had no means of telling how much time or of even naming the period."
"The answer that came to me again and again was play. Every human society in recorded history has games. We don't just solve problems out of necessity. We do it for fun...Games are part of what makes us human. We see the world as a mystery, a puzzle, because we've always been a species of problem-solvers." This week, Rick is joined by Alex (Low Five Gaming) to approach the brinks of phenomenal consciousness and transhumanism in The Talos Principle, a 2014 puzzle game by Devolver Digital. Though the storyboarding and "plot" are fairly light (and reminiscent to the Book of Genesis), the implications of the story are far reaching: what is the fundamental turning point into the notion of Qualia, or phenomenal consciousness? And what of free will - do we have it? Join us as we discuss this, the Garden of Eden, how games can foster community, and much more. Please enjoy!

[X] SB – Doug Emhoff on Kamala doing what she does You can choose to worry, or you can know that there is a loving, living God who knows what's best for America and the world. Over the last couple of days, I've done more than reveal news about the election. I've provided insights. You realize that we win in the end. There will be trials and tribulations, wars and rumors of wars. This has been prophesized by the Bible, and it is a fact. We were told that we lies would become the truth and the truth a lie. That we would be persecuted for our faith. Are these things happening? Yes. But we win in the end. Leftists want a Godless country, and they want to rock our faith. For many, they've accomplished this. But for people who believe that good conquers evil, we don't worry. Whatever the outcome of tonight is, and I honestly believe it will go our way, we mustn't fret. God has a purpose for you and this nation, and we will prevail. Trump has been through the ringer and it reminds me of a testimony of an African pastor, a testimony that I heard recently. The gentleman is from Zambia Harris as a VP: A look back at Biden-Harris Today America gets its freedom back. Few would argue that Americans as a whole have endured 4 of the worst years in our history. Do you think people can or will ignore this? Inside the Beltway and on fake news media, they can pretend thing are going well. But rank and file America sees it differently. I will touch on all of these things individually, but let's just look at the list:- Massive inflation- Wars we should never have gotten involved in- Spending like there is no tomorrow. $1 trillion gets added to the debt every quarter.- An INVASION, sponsored by Biden-Harris, that is costing billions more, and ruining lives…- Crime: remember, they got the FBI to LIE to us.- Lies about everything: # of illegals, vaccines efficacy, inflation numbers, employment numbers, and much moreThis has been without a doubt the most corrupt administration in our history. And their corruption is only surpassed by their incompetence. This all ends in a few days. Check out Part II of this Pep Talk This is Part II of the pep rally. Soon we will have much to celebrate, though many Conservatives fear the outcome of the election. Thus, I am reminding America of what's about to happen. Cheating I know you're concerned about Democrats https://apnews.com/article/trump-cheating-fraud-lies-52832138394282b8a3355b45c0b913a9. But cheating has been factored into my feelings of euphoria. As I said in https://theblacksphere.net/2024/11/pre-election-pep-talk-from-kevin-jackson-part-i/, Democrats will cheat in elections; that's what they do. Because Democrats can't win on ideas, they must cheat and manipulate. They do this to make believe that they are right, because they are too egotistical or stupid to admit they are wrong. Look at what they did in 2020, cheating Trump out of his rightful term for a man nobody takes seriously 4 years later. But therein lies the problem. America has seen this act before. No China virus to save the day. And Trump's ground-game and team is much more sophisticated. Further, many people formerly willing to cheat won't do do. So the cabal knows for fact that it can't cheat Harris into office. People like Jamie Raskin have been appearing on network TV sounding the alarm bell about "Trump cheating". Raskin's appearance signal that Democrats know the cheating won't work on their end. So he's warning America that if Trump wins, the he obviously cheated. Raskin is indicating that Democrats will have a reason for their "insurrection", as Trump will have won by cheating. Ergo, there will be no “peaceful transition of power”. Democrats are justifying their disbelief of election results in advance. And what's most ironic about this? They KNOW they are still cheating massively. More on the pastor [X] SB – Fetterman on Dems connecting with PA Same warning signs. Nothing new here. Trump has a connection with PA voters [X] SB – Woody Johnson owner of Jets People are proud to break ranks and say their voting for Trump. They're not hiding it. Run the country like a business There are many POWERFUL people and organizations who want Trump to win. Don't be fooled by the cabal. While it is made up of very wealthy people, who manipulation governments for their fortunes, its members still need the actual ingenuity of other titans of industry as part of their portfolios. And that's why it's good that American conservatives have Elon Musk https://theblacksphere.net/2023/12/bidenomics-musk-buy-wapo/. I suspect that well over half of America's billionaires want Trump as president. These people whisper in the ear of the cabal who must listen. Chamath Palihapitiya might have been one of the first https://theblacksphere.net/2023/12/the-real-reason-why-chris-cuomo-may-vote-for-trump/ to Trump. "Every other president found a way to, frankly, make our situation a little bit worse, specifically around wars. He did not do that. And that is a huge accomplishment that I think needs to be acknowledged," Palihapitiya said.

Over the last couple of days, I've done more than reveal news about the election. I've provided insights. You realize that we win in the end. There will be trials and tribulations, wars and rumors of wars. This has been prophesized by the Bible, and it is a fact. We were told that we lies would become the truth and the truth a lie. That we would be persecuted for our faith. Are these things happening? Yes. But we win in the end. Leftists want a Godless country, and they want to rock our faith. For many, they've accomplished this. But for people who believe that good conquers evil, we don't worry. Whatever the outcome of tonight is, and I honestly believe it will go our way, we mustn't fret. God has a purpose for you and this nation, and we will prevail. Trump has been through the ringer and it reminds me of a testimony of an African pastor, a testimony that I heard recently. The gentleman is from Zambia… Harris as a VP: A look back at Biden-Harris Today America gets its freedom back. Few would argue that Americans as a whole have endured 4 of the worst years in our history. Do you think people can or will ignore this? Inside the Beltway and on fake news media, they can pretend thing are going well. But rank and file America sees it differently. I will touch on all of these things individually, but let's just look at the list:- Massive inflation- Wars we should never have gotten involved in- Spending like there is no tomorrow. $1 trillion gets added to the debt every quarter.- An INVASION, sponsored by Biden-Harris, that is costing billions more, and ruining lives…- Crime: remember, they got the FBI to LIE to us.- Lies about everything: # of illegals, vaccines efficacy, inflation numbers, employment numbers, and much moreThis has been without a doubt the most corrupt administration in our history. And their corruption is only surpassed by their incompetence. This all ends in a few days. Check out Part II of this Pep Talk This is Part II of the pep rally. Soon we will have much to celebrate, though many Conservatives fear the outcome of the election. Thus, I am reminding America of what's about to happen. Cheating I know you're concerned about Democrats https://apnews.com/article/trump-cheating-fraud-lies-52832138394282b8a3355b45c0b913a9. But cheating has been factored into my feelings of euphoria. As I said in https://theblacksphere.net/2024/11/pre-election-pep-talk-from-kevin-jackson-part-i/, Democrats will cheat in elections; that's what they do. Because Democrats can't win on ideas, they must cheat and manipulate. They do this to make believe that they are right, because they are too egotistical or stupid to admit they are wrong. Look at what they did in 2020, cheating Trump out of his rightful term for a man nobody takes seriously 4 years later. But therein lies the problem. America has seen this act before. No China virus to save the day. And Trump's ground-game and team is much more sophisticated. Further, many people formerly willing to cheat won't do do. So the cabal knows for fact that it can't cheat Harris into office. People like Jamie Raskin have been appearing on network TV sounding the alarm bell about "Trump cheating". Raskin's appearance signal that Democrats know the cheating won't work on their end. So he's warning America that if Trump wins, the he obviously cheated. Raskin is indicating that Democrats will have a reason for their "insurrection", as Trump will have won by cheating. Ergo, there will be no “peaceful transition of power”. Democrats are justifying their disbelief of election results in advance. And what's most ironic about this? They KNOW they are still cheating massively.

Mike Ergo originally joined the U.S. Marine Corps to play his saxophone in the Marine Corps band. But a short time after joining the Corps in 2001, Ergo changed his mind and asked to be transferred to the infantry. Soon, the U.S. was at war in both Afghanistan and Iraq. After an uneventful first deployment to Iraq, Ergo returned in the summer of 2004 with A Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines. A few months later, they were engaged in the vicious Second Battle of Fallujah in November and December of 2004.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Ergo describes preparing to fight in Iraq, learning his company would be part of the fight for Fallujah, and what it's like to get the signal that you'e headed into battle.Ergo also tells us about the intial successes of the Marines and how the insurgent resistance quickly fell into place. He also gives us great detail about the house-to-house fighting that characterized so much of the fighting in Fallujah.He also shares the pain of losing close friends at different points in the battle and how resigning himself to the belief that he would be killed was actually freeing for him.Finally, Ergo details how the fighting in Iraq stayed with him for years after the war, how he moved on, and how he is now helping other veterans.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Define extremism (best of) [X] SB – Black man says in 1000000 years he wouldn't vote for Harris What is an extremist to the Left? Grow up in a two-parent household Not be molested by an uncle or a coach To get a decent real education with NO indoctrination To find a career that you love To find a life-partner that you love and respect To have friends you can count on, and with whom you might not necessarily agree all the time. To enjoy the things in life that you desire, e.g. travel, woodworking, hunting, fishing, or whatever as long as it doesn't infringe upon others. To live in decent environs and be left alone. What's so bad about that? [SEGMENT 2-2] Kamala Harris exposed [X] SB – Black man says in 1000000 he wouldn't vote for Kamala Harris [X] SB – Black rapper [X] SB – CNN calls out Kamala Harris for energy hypocrisy [SEGMENT 2-3] More on the identity crisis We have services that protect our identity, Life Lock, for example. We even know the importance of identity, as the government established HIPAA laws to protect our identity. Corporations are told to protect our data, i.e. our identities online, and we receive many cautions to that effect all the time. To have one's identity stolen can wreak havoc in your life. What Musk insightfully points out is the identity crisis in America. And the identity crisis of today touches on timeless philosophical debates about self, individualism, and collective identity. From ancient to modern thinkers, the struggle to understand the self has been at the core of human inquiry. And many would agree that today's crisis reflects both a departure from and a misunderstanding of these deeper philosophical traditions. The Search for the Self: Ancient Philosophers The quest to "know oneself" has deep roots in philosophy, epitomized by Socrates, whose aphorism "Know thyself" urges us to explore our own nature. For Socrates, this exploration was not merely about personal identity but understanding our place in the moral universe. The self, to him, was intimately tied to wisdom and virtue rather than external categories like race or gender. Similarly, Plato viewed the self as a reflection of universal truths, suggesting that the soul (the essence of self) exists beyond material distinctions. Like Socrates, Plato's ideas oppose today's focus on identities like gender or sexuality, instead calling for an understanding of self that transcends physical and social categories. I recall a family road trip where we picked up a man whose 18-wheeler had broken down. He was a 20-something white guy, and very chatty. He said something profound during his time with us. Interestingly, he mentioned that he was only driving a truck until he found something better. He said that he still needed to "find himself". After we let him out at a truck stop, I asked my grandmother why he said he needed to "find himself". She said that he was searching for meaning in his life, and that's what he meant. I joked that he was "right here!" Little did I know how this would impact me later, as I needed to find myself. Nature vs. Nurture: Enlightenment Thinkers The tension between nature and nurture has been another longstanding philosophical debate. John Locke, the English Enlightenment thinker, famously argued that the mind is a "blank slate" (tabula rasa) upon which experience writes. In contrast, Jean-Jacques Rousseau proposed that humans are born inherently good, but society corrupts them. Both philosophers emphasized that individual experience and societal influence jointly shape identity. However, modern society's obsession with social categories may suggest an inversion of this idea. Collectivism—the pressure to conform to social groups based on external identity markers like race or gender—has, in the eyes of critics, stifled individualism. This sentiment is echoed by Alexis de Tocqueville, who warned that democracy could, paradoxically foster a "tyranny of the majority" where societal pressures subdue individual liberty. I suggest that we all struggle with this concept from time to time. Perhaps you are stuck in a rut, and can't seem to deprogram. Is it genetic or have you learned from experience to procrastinate, for example? [SEGMENT 2-4] More on the identity crisis 2 That's not who we are. In my case, I chronicled in my first book, The BIG Black Lie how I always felt the tug of my father's DNA, as I assessed my place in the world. My father was not a good man, and I often felt like I would undoubtedly follow in his footsteps. It took far too long for me to dismiss this notion, and allow the nurture of my maternal family assuage my angst. Freud and Jung: Inner and Outer Identity The duality of man is something I thought about at a young age. And for the reasons stated earlier this duality involved my father. Funny how most of life's problems do revolve around childhood. Which brings me to Sigmund Freud. In what was validated by Freud and Jung, I noted how I had one public facing me, and the other me that I hid. I learned later that Freud introduced another layer to identity by focusing on the unconscious mind. He argued that unresolved internal conflicts shaped our sense of self more than societal categories. Carl Jung, a contemporary of Freud expanded on Freud's theory. Jung emphasized that individual identity must reconcile both our conscious persona and our collective unconscious (archetypes shared by humanity). This need to balance personal individuality with collective archetypes aligns with my observation that we belong to broad collectives like being human and being American, while still retaining individuality. I propose further that one's individuality must be well-balanced with the various collectives. For example, I am human, however I don't espouse to all human nature. Ergo, my individual, my self as it were will not give into the collective if I believe the collective to be flawed. Criticism of Modern Identity Politics Many critics of modern identity politics argue that identity politics diminishes the importance of individuality. George Orwell warned in his novel 1984 of the dangers of collective identity leading to oppression. Today, some, like Jordan Peterson argue that by emphasizing identity categories like race, gender, or sexuality, modern society risks reducing people to labels rather than focusing on their personal virtues and capabilities. I happen to agree. My question about why society wants so desperately for me to be part of the "alt collectives" can be understood when illuminated as the tension between individualism and collectivism. While Western societies historically valorized the individual, as reflected in Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay "Self-Reliance," today's focus on identity politics often prioritizes group membership over personal agency. The collectivist trend I observe can thus be seen as a reversal of this traditional Western emphasis on the individual. In this reversal, the individual is at risk of being destroyed. The Crisis of Individualism The modern obsession with identity that I observe turns what should be private traits—like sexuality—into public markers of social distinction. Charles Taylor refers to this as the "politics of recognition." Thus, today society increasingly demands that personal identities be publicly acknowledged and validated, most notably with the use of self-ascribed pronouns. However, this emphasis on group identities can overshadow the deeper, more universal aspects of human experience that bind us all together. What is the collective, if we can subcategorized to the nth degree? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
