If you work in AI, you probably think it's going to boost productivity, create wealth, advance science, and improve your life. If you're a member of the American public, you probably strongly disagree.In three major reports released over the last year, the Pew Research Center surveyed over 5,000 US adults and 1,000 AI experts. They found that the general public holds many beliefs about AI that are virtually nonexistent in Silicon Valley, and that the tech industry's pitch about the likely benefits of their work has thus far failed to convince many people at all. AI is, in fact, a rare topic that mostly unites Americans — regardless of politics, race, age, or gender.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/eyToday's guest, Eileen Yam, director of science and society research at Pew, walks us through some of the eye-watering gaps in perception:Jobs: 73% of AI experts see a positive impact on how people do their jobs. Only 23% of the public agrees.Productivity: 74% of experts say AI is very likely to make humans more productive. Just 17% of the public agrees.Personal benefit: 76% of experts expect AI to benefit them personally. Only 24% of the public expects the same (while 43% expect it to harm them).Happiness: 22% of experts think AI is very likely to make humans happier, which is already surprisingly low — but a mere 6% of the public expects the same.For the experts building these systems, the vision is one of human empowerment and efficiency. But outside the Silicon Valley bubble, the mood is more one of anxiety — not only about Terminator scenarios, but about AI denying their children “curiosity, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills and creativity,” while they themselves are replaced and devalued:53% of Americans say AI will worsen people's ability to think creatively.50% believe it will hurt our ability to form meaningful relationships.38% think it will worsen our ability to solve problems.Open-ended responses to the surveys reveal a poignant fear: that by offloading cognitive work to algorithms we are changing childhood to a point we no longer know what adults will result. As one teacher quoted in the study noted, we risk raising a generation that relies on AI so much it never “grows its own curiosity, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills and creativity.”If the people building the future are this out of sync with the people living in it, the impending “techlash” might be more severe than industry anticipates.In this episode, Eileen and host Rob Wiblin break down the data on where these groups disagree, where they actually align (nobody trusts the government or companies to regulate this), and why the “digital natives” might actually be the most worried of all.This episode was recorded on September 25, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Eileen Yam?

In dieser Episode diskutieren Marco Herack und Marcel Dirsus die Dynamik von Diktaturen, insbesondere im Kontext von Donald Trump und der politischen Situation in den USA. Dirsus, ein Politikwissenschaftler, beleuchtet die Gefahren, die von der Erosion demokratischer Institutionen ausgehen, und die Rolle von Normen und Recht in der Politik. Die Diskussion umfasst auch die Herausforderungen der deutschen Außenpolitik, die Wahrnehmung von Recht und Sicherheit in Deutschland sowie die Verantwortung von Unternehmen und Führungspersönlichkeiten in einer sich verändernden politischen Landschaft. In dieser Episode wird die Rolle von Donald Trump und die Auswirkungen seiner Politik auf die USA und Europa diskutiert. Es wird erörtert, wie die Kontrolle über das Militär und die Normalisierung des Einsatzes gegen die eigene Bevölkerung eine Bedrohung für die Demokratie darstellen. Zudem wird die Unfähigkeit der deutschen Politik, auf aktuelle Herausforderungen zu reagieren, thematisiert. Die Unsicherheit über die Zukunft Trumps und die möglichen Konsequenzen für die transatlantischen Beziehungen werden ebenfalls behandelt. (Riverside Zusammenfassung)

Are we being molded into servants for something we don't understand? God doesn't ask for silence, he asks for courage. Whispered in the routine was the forfeiting of our consent. Darkness wins thru exhaustion. Locke and Hobbs were on it. Rebelling against despair. The invisible agreement between power and the people. Obedience as virtue. We choose the chains we wear. Freedom requires maintenance. Do we owe those who no longer keep their promises? Democracy is staring at the corpse of it's promise. Who will speak the truth when it costs something? Evil always pushes back. Free the small voice buried beneath your fear. Who gets to define the truth? Demanding obedience without legitimacy. All three branches of our gov't have been corrupt. Awaken or withdrawal. BBC tactics and J6 evidence come together. Working for the people is a good model. Is it a collapse or correction? New evidence is incoming. The Judge is going to release Tina Peters. Standing for the truth when you are alone. Kash and his girlfriend get complicated. We face digital integration without consent. Love is the physics of the soul. Where are the ops called Antifa and the Proud Boys? What they are doing behind the scenes is very scary. Stay centered and be ready.

Under our Constitution, the federal government and the states have distinct powers — especially when it comes to elections. But the Trump administration has repeatedly tried to interfere with how states run elections, pushing unlawful policies that undermine faith in safe, secure and accurate elections.Host Simone Leeper sits down with Catie Kelley, Senior Director of Policy and Strategic Partnerships at Campaign Legal Center, and Jonathan Diaz, CLC's Director of Voting Advocacy and Partnerships, to examine how the Trump administration has attempted to federalize elections, impose unconstitutional voter restrictions and silence Americans.They unpack CLC's major court victory against the administration's unlawful election executive order; explain how new proof-of-citizenship requirements could disenfranchise millions of voters; and discuss lawsuits defending states' rights and voters' privacy against federal overreach. They also explore broader threats—from troubling legislation and to presidential attacks on mail-in voting—and what Campaign Legal Center is doing to preserve checks and balances, protect election integrity and defend every American's freedom to vote.Timestamps:(00:00) — What does “federalism” mean, and why is it under attack?(02:50) — How is the Trump administration overstepping its authority on elections?(06:44) — What lawsuits has CLC filed to stop the president's election overreach?(07:58) — Why are proof-of-citizenship rules so dangerous for voters?(11:28) — How are military families impacted by new voting restrictions?(14:50) — Why is the DOJ demanding states' voter data—and why is it alarming?(17:56) — How are states pushing back to defend their power and voters' privacy?(19:10) — What is the SAVE Act, and how could it silence millions of voters?(25:16) — Why is mail-in voting under attack again?(28:41) — How does misinformation from the president erode trust in elections?(30:51) — What lessons from 2024 should shape the 2026 midterms?(34:04) — What can states do to strengthen confidence in elections?(36:24) — What should voters remember heading into 2026 and beyond?(40:17) — How can Americans hold the line for democracy?Host and Guests:Simone Leeper litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at Campaign Legal Center, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy. Prior to arriving at CLC, Simone was a law clerk in the office of Senator Ed Markey and at the Library of Congress, Office of General Counsel. She received her J.D. cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 2019 and a bachelor's degree in political science from Columbia University in 2016.Catie Kelley is Senior Director of Policy & Strategic Partnerships at Campaign Legal Center.

In that capacity, she worked with state and local stakeholders and policymakers to advance innovative policies designed to decrease the influence of money in the political process. She began her legal career in the Federal Election Commission's Office of General Counsel.Jonathan Diaz is Director of Voting Advocacy and Partnerships at Campaign Legal Center. Jonathan advocates for laws and policies that expand the freedom to vote for all Americans; leads CLC's work on combatting election sabotage; and coordinates CLC's relationships with national, state and local voting rights partners.Jonathan manages CLC's work to protect election results and defend against election sabotage, and he works directly with CLC's litigation, communications and policy teams to help set organizational strategy on voting rights and elections advocacy. He also works directly with election officials at the state and local level to improve election administration processes, and he represents CLC in democracy reform coalitions to coordinate legal, advocacy and messaging strategies with partner organizations across the country.Jonathan has also litigated voting rights cases in federal courts across the country, including LULAC v. Executive Office of the President (challenging the President's unconstitutional executive order on voting); LUCHA v. Fontes (challenging Arizona's burdensome and discriminatory proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration); VoteAmerica v. Raffensperger (challenging Georgia's restrictions on the distribution of absentee ballot applications); and Raysor v.

In the quiet corridors where healing was once holy, something cold now slithers. In today's pod, two ER physicians step forward, voices steady, to reveal how the laws meant to protect truth have become tools of silence. Dr. Patricia Robitaille & Dr. Coleen Rickabaugh speak of hospitals that trade compassion for control, of doctors punished for refusing to look away. It's a reckoning - part confession, part hymn - for a system that's forgotten its soul. The two are now working in DC to rewrite the law that broke healthcare's back in the first place.Dr. Robitaille's substack: https://substack.com/@pattirobitaillemdPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go!00:02:01 Historical Context of Healthcare Corruption00:06:44 Erosion of Physician Advocacy00:10:01 Inversion of the Peer Review System00:14:08 Case Study: Dr. Christopher Dunch00:19:20 Proposed Legislative Changes00:22:40 Profit Motive vs. Patient Care00:25:00 Impact of the Databank on Practitioners00:30:34 Disruption Labels and Patient Safety00:34:28 Case Study of Dr. Ryan00:40:25 Flaws in Peer Review Legislation00:43:36 Physician Rights and Hospital Contracts00:46:04 The Impact of Credentialing Practices00:50:35 Case Study: Jacob Newfeld's Plight00:55:00 Evaluations and Their Consequences01:04:25 The Dehumanizing Experience of Psychiatric Evaluation01:08:21 Tragic Outcomes of Mismanaged Care01:10:24 The Flaws in Administrative Accountability01:12:50 The Corruption Within Healthcare Administration01:18:06 Systemic Issues in Patient Safety and Care01:23:40 The Need for Legal Protections in Healthcare01:25:29 Fraudulent Practices in Hospitals01:28:15 The Dystopian Shift in Patient Care01:31:44 Organ Harvesting Concerns in Healthcare01:39:43 Legal Actions and Institutional Corruption01:44:17 Consequences of Whistleblowing in Medicine01:47:40 History and Context of Sham Peer Review01:48:34 Advocacy and Legislative Action01:52:02 Patient Vulnerability and Reform Potential01:53:40 Education and Awareness Campaign#makeamericahealthyagain #healthcareheroes , #medicalethics , #physician , #patientcare , #whistleblowers , #healthpolicy , #dataprivacy , #healthcarecosts, #patientadvocacy, #philosophypodcast, #rfkjr MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

In this powerhouse episode of "Impact Theory," Tom Bilyeu sits down with renowned economist, author, and outspoken financial commentator Peter Schiff. Best known for his unflinching critiques of U.S. monetary policy, Schiff unpacks the real meaning behind gold's all-time highs and what it signals for the American and global economy. In Part 1, Tom and Peter go deep into the historical context that shapes today's economic challenges, including how the gold standard's collapse, fiscal irresponsibility, and the rise of global debt have set the stage for a looming monetary crisis. Peter shares insights on the mechanisms behind inflation, explains how American prosperity has become dangerously dependent on the dollar's reserve status, and traces the evolution of our monetary system from the Founding Fathers to Nixon's closing of the gold window. This is an eye-opening journey through economic history and policy that challenges mainstream narratives about the value of gold, the state of global trade, and America's financial future.

Rachel Chapman recaps her article, “Tube Erosion,” which was written with Matthew Henderson, MD; Dan Arreaza-Kaufman, MD; Jonathan Eisengart, MD; and Mary Qiu, MD, and was featured in the May/June issue of Glaucoma Today. Glaucoma drainage implants can lower IOP and preserve patients' vision, but the devices carry the risk of tube erosion, a serious complication that requires prompt surgical management. Ms. Chapman reviews the rates of tube erosion, risk factors, strategies for prevention, and techniques for surgical revision.

China's ruling Communist Party leadership met in Beijing to frame the next five-year-plan. Amid a trade war with the United States, they set priorities for economic policy and technology, including how to build artificial intelligence into key sectors of society.   New faces appeared and old ones vanished, with a purge of senior military officials and others as President Xi Jinping sacked some officials he had earlier promoted. As Xi prepares to meet with US President Donald Trump in South Korea, Chatham House senior research fellows Yu Jie and James Kynge join host Bronwen Maddox.

Because healthcare today can be increasingly defined as commodified, expedient, financialized, myopic, reductionist and failing to transcend politics, the question of healthcare's ethics or the roll ethics plays should play is increasingly begged. For example, last October Health Affairs launched an “Ethics and Health Systems Change” series that to date has simply complained about private equity and corporate medicine, federal immigration and gender care policies and de-professionalization. What fidelity does healthcare have to normative ethics when, for example, 27 million Americans and counting are uninsured, over 100 million lack a primary care provider and over 90 million cannot afford care if they needed today. Dr. Jain, President and CEO of the SCAN Group and SCAN Health Plan, discusses the causes of healthcare's ethical erosion and how begged ethical issues or questions can be addressed. The two Forbes articles authored by Dr Jain and discussed during this interview are at: https://www.forbes.com/sites/sachinjain/2025/09/22/ethical-erosion-how-good-people-lose-their-way-in-healthcare/ and https://www.forbes.com/sites/sachinjain/2025/01/21/who-me-ethical-erosion-and-the-deafening-silence-of-americas-healthcare-leaders/.

Doch die Schlagzahl und Intensität von Bergstürzen, Schlammlawinen und Muren hat durch die Klimaerwärmung zugenommen und macht das Leben in den Bergen gefährlicher. BR-Journalist und Bergexperte Georg Bayerle erzählt in dieser Folge von Einheimischen, deren Heimat verschwindet und Forschenden, die nach Mitteln und Wegen suchen, die Gefahr in Zukunft zu begrenzen. Wie wird sich das Leben in den Alpen verändern?

This episode dives into the disturbing trend of political violence and lawlessness tied to prominent Democratic figures and affiliates. From Virginia, where a Democratic attorney general nominee allegedly fantasized about killing political opponents and their children, to New York, where candidates refuse to condemn celebrated cop killers, the implications for law enforcement and public safety are staggering. We examine how these incidents reflect a broader disregard for accountability, justice, and the rule of law, highlighting cases ignored or downplayed by mainstream media. From attacks on federal judges to lenient sentencing for attempted assassins, this episode confronts the political and moral consequences of normalized violence in today's partisan climate. Listeners will get an unflinching look at the danger this culture poses to elected officials, law enforcement, and everyday citizens, and why accountability must be demanded now before it's too late.

SHOW NOTES SEGMENT 1 - POLITIFEST Buy Your Tickets for Politifest 2025 Politifest is back on Oct. 4, and this won’t be our usual public affairs summit. This year, we’re bringing together community leaders to go head-to-head in our first ever Solutions Showdown. Hear their ideas and cast your vote on which proposals you think could solve the biggest issues facing San Diego. Save on tickets with early bird pricing at vosd.org/politifest Politics Report: Politifest Brain My politics mind has been focused on Politifest this week. When we started Politifest in 2011, I envisioned an idyllic outdoor party – beer garden, tug of wars (tugs of war?), dunk tank, exhibits — where politics could be the central feature. Over time, it evolved into a day-long collection of debates and panel discussions. The tugs of war didn’t draw the crowd but the debates did. This year, we have taken another step in its evolution. You’ll have to help us decide if this mutation survives. Solutions Showdown: We made each session a problem and asked participants to present their solution. They will present their solutions and then the moderator will manage a good discussion between them and then the audience will vote on a winner.

Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante returns for an unfiltered deep dive into the realities of power, propaganda, and politics in America and beyond. From why Joe Rogan won't have him on, to the CIA's controversial role in heroin distribution during the War on Terror, this conversation pulls back the curtain on government accountability, shadow operations, and the blurred line between freedom and control. We also cover the assassination of Charlie Kirk, media manipulation, the rise of conspiracy culture, and how global players like Israel, China, and Russia influence U.S. policy. Andrew shares why he's leaving the United States for the sake of his children's future and breaks down how cancel culture, polarization, and fear are eroding real democratic freedoms. If you want to understand how empires fall from within, the mechanics of information warfare, and the uncomfortable truths behind America's foreign and domestic policies, this episode is a must-watch.

How street vendors tangle with the law in São Paulo, Brazil. With a little initiative and very little startup money, an outgoing individual might sell you a number of delights and conveniences familiar to city dwellers—from cold water bottles while you're sitting in traffic to a popsicle from a cart on a summer afternoon in the park. Such vendors form a significant share of the workforce in São Paulo, Brazil, but their ubiquity belies perpetual struggle. Some have the right to practice their trade; others do not. All of them strive to make it—or stay afloat.In The Edge of the Law: Street Vendors and the Erosion of Citizenship in São Paulo, (U Chicago Press, 2025) Jacinto Cuvi introduces us to the world of street vendors and teases out the relationship between the construction of legality and the experience of citizenship. As São Paulo's city government undertakes a large-scale plan to cancel street vending licenses and evict street vendors, Cuvi reveals how the rights of informal workers can be revoked or withheld and how the lines can be redrawn between work that is “legal” and work that takes place under constant fear of law enforcement. Alongside the mechanics of disenfranchisement, Cuvi captures the lived experience of criminalization, dissecting the distribution of (shallow) rights among vendors who continually reinvent strategies to eke out a living while dealing with the constraints and pressures of informal citizenship at the edge of the law. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is a Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla (Lexington Books, 2023) and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington Books, 2022).

Michael Vassar is a futurist philosopher who believes that our civilization has lost the ability to think clearly, as the result of a silent project to destroy education that has been running in the background for generations. At the core of his argument is that the modern world has been shaped by elites interested in taking over the world. Interestingly, he seems to think that this multi-generational plan has backfired, and produced a society where there is a vanishingly small number of people even capable of formulating such grand ambitions, let alone possess the cognitive abilities to execute on their plans. We talk through his argument, and start to unpack some lore about the Rationalists, an online community that openly pursues the ideals of the enlightenment but can't stop spawning cults for some reason.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Charlie Thompson delve into the latest conspiracy theories and ongoing debates surrounding the recent assassination. They explore various viewpoints, examine the official narrative, and discuss the complexities of finding the truth amidst a sea of information. Special attention is given to text messages and public statements from key figures, including Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, and how these align with or dispute the overarching story. They also address the challenges of maintaining objectivity and the ethics of discussing someone's death in the media. Tune in to navigate this intricate web of theories, motivations, and potential truths. 00:00 Intro 01:15 Conspiracy Wednesday: Assassination Theories 06:41 Text Message Chain Analysis 10:26 Skepticism and Verification Challenges 21:00 Tucker Carlson and Israel Discussion 24:58 The Erosion of Trust in Institutions 25:35 The Impact of Media and Government Lies 26:40 Navigating Conspiracy Theories 27:15 Personal Reflections and Empathy 28:52 The Role of Influential Figures 29:21 Generational Shifts in Trust 30:38 Tucker Carlson's Perspective 33:02 Private Conversations and Public Perception 35:01 The Complexity of Truth and Motives 37:31 Charlie Kirk's Approach to Discourse 45:33 The Challenge of Finding Truth 46:25 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections

Hey, Slackers.This isn't the type of podcast I typically enjoy recording, but the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk compelled me to address this topic. I generally avoid discussing religion or politics on the show - it's not my focus - but Generation X has lived through some profoundly challenging events due to our place in history. First, I'll explore recent data on Gen X's political positioning. While the numbers suggest we're evenly split across party lines, I believe we're far more centrist than the data indicates. There are also compelling statistics regarding our religious inclinations and practices.Next, we'll examine the staggering number of political assassinations and attempted assassinations since Gen X emerged in 1965. The scope of these events is truly shocking.Finally, I'll reflect on how political discourse - once characterized by civil "agree to disagree" conversations - has devolved into viewing others as enemies. This is no way to live or engage with one another. The tragic proof lies in the loss of a young man's life, targeted for views deemed so offensive by some that he "deserved to die." This episode offers a sobering look at how public discourse has been steered toward hate and violence, drifting away from the pursuit of meaningful common ground.

A sinkhole does not start out as a huge hole in the ground. It starts with a bit of erosion of the foundation underneath that over time, causes the surface to finally sink. Our faith can also be eroded, not usually by the big issue of life, but by having our foundation erode over time. In this podcast, we will talk about the erosion that can happen and how to Restore your Foundation so a sinkhole does not occur in your life.    To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

In this candid episode, Alicia gets real about something most stepmoms won't say out loud: you want to be over your partner's past… but reminders keep ambushing you—kids' faces, old photos, in-law stories, even the house you live in. She explains why your brain grabs the past when you don't feel safe, the hidden cost of re-hashing old wounds, and a step-by-step plan to stop using history as ammunition so you can build the future you actually want.Who this is for:Stepmoms who feel caught between “I'm fine” and “I'm about to bring up 2014 again.” If you've ever tossed a decades-old moment into a current disagreement, this one's for you.What you'll learn:Why the past feels so present: Safety responses, stepfamily triggers, and the comparison trap (you're not “first,” so it feels like you'll never “come first”).The real cost of holding on: Erosion of trust, the resentment loop, and how re-reading old chapters keeps you from writing new ones.Six tools to move forward (without pretending it never happened):Catch the trigger in real timeSeparate past from presentJournal it (hello, Ex-Files) instead of dumping it on your partnerChoose your future over your fear (simple visualization prompt)Forgiveness vs. boundaries (what each one actually does)Shift the self-talk: from “I'll never measure up” to “I am the present and the future”Key takeawaysWhen you don't feel safe, your brain reaches for “proven” past evidence to protect you. That doesn't mean it serves your relationship now.The more you punish your partner for the past, the less space there is to create something new—today.You are not in competition with their past. You are their present and future.Boundaries protect you; expectations attempt to control them. Keep them separate.If the roles were reversed, you wouldn't want your old chapters thrown at you either.Related episodes & resourcesEpisode 111 – Spiraling: Why It Happens & How to Feel Safe Again → aliciakrasko.com/111Episode 110 – The Secret Journal Every Stepmom Should Have (Your “Ex-Files”) → aliciakrasko.com/110Want a specific topic covered?

The dominance of the US dollar as the global reserve currency has been gradually declining for years, but Donald Trump's policies could rapidly accelerate de-dollarization and the transition to a more multipolar international financial order, warn even mainstream American economists like Barry Eichengreen and Kenneth Rogoff. Political economist Ben Norton reviews the evidence.
