Anna Samson has had a decade-long career in aid, was a US State Department-funded Fulbright Scholar, and has a PhD in international relations and American foreign policy.In this episode we discuss the inadvertent economic and political outcomes of foreign aid on receiving nations. What surprised me was Anna's view on the scale of the rent-seeking across the aid industry and the transformation of the aid project into one of strategic military and economic interests rather than one of humanitarianism.Apologies for the audio quality.Please read Anna's full article below about foreign aid, its failures, and its creeping national security objectives.As always, please like, share, comment, and subscribe.

Theme music: Happy Swing by Serge Quadrado Music under Creative Commons Licence CC BY-NC 4.0The United States has had its fair share of Presidential foreign policy doctrines over the years.The Truman Doctrine underpinned America's Cold War containment policy to stop the spread of communism and Soviet influence.After the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Bush Doctrine brought us preventative military strikes and the ‘if you're not with us, you're against us' principle.Just over 50 days into his second term, the Trump Doctrine is shaping up to be ‘you can't make an omelette without blowing up the entire chicken coop'.Nowhere has this approach been more sharply felt than in the dismantling of USAID, a cornerstone of contemporary US foreign policy.Jettisoning USAID has achieved symbolic and practical purposes; it is both exactly what MAGA fans hoped for and what its critics feared: Trump embracing radical honesty in international relations by saying the quiet bits out loud and rupturing the mythology of the self-limiting guardrails on Executive power.Moments after his inauguration, President Trump, bolstered by Elon Musk's analysis of USAID as “not an apple with a worm in it [but] a ball of worms”, froze $60 billion in overseas development aid and then stood down 97% of its staff.Industry veterans highlighted the catastrophe the Executive Orders caused: polio vaccination programs halted, tonnes of food aid left rotting in warehouses in the midst of famines, and a stop on urgent humanitarian assistance delivered to hard-to-reach conflict zones.That's the problem with applying a Silicon Valley move-fast-and-break-things mindset to government policy: you can't just CTRL-Z your way out of any unintended consequences.The recent Supreme Court decision ordering the Trump Administration to immediately unfreeze US$2 billion in existing aid contracts only provides temporary reprieve for those relying on American development assistance. The ruling doesn't apply to billions in planned program funding or USAID jobs that have already been axed, both of which are the subject of separate legal challenges.To the President's detractors, gutting USAID is ideological and myopic. But it's also another example of Trump seeing which way the crowd is moving and running out in front.Indeed, rather than leaping to fill the void left by the US vacating the field, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a 40 per cent cut to his country's aid budget. France and the Netherlands are also cutting their aid expenditure by about a third.While Western aid workers are wringing their hands and UN buildings are lowering their thermostats as a cost-saving measure, the sector bears a great deal of responsibility for its own demise.With little evidence to show aid programs are delivering on their grand promises of economic prosperity and development, spending billions on aid is increasingly justified as a tool to advance donor countries' national security interests.This connection is not new: the modern aid system was built by imperial powers to help maintain influence even as their former colonial territories were achieving political independence.It should come as no surprise that many aid recipients are not exactly mourning USAID's downfall. They point to numerous instances where USAID used humanitarianism as a front for meddling in other nations' domestic politics.For all the talk of ‘empowerment' and ‘local partnerships', government-funded foreign aid is rooted in and continues to reproduce historical structures of resource extraction, dependence, market distortion and racism.Explicitly blurring the lines between humanitarianism and self-interest lays bare the iron fist of neocolonialism within the velvet glove of benevolence.From the perspective of donor countries, all this real-talk about interests over altruism requires the aid industry to demonstrate bang for taxpayer buck.It's no accident that among the first casualties in DOGE's USAID cuts were expat bureaucrats enjoying all the cushy accoutrements that a career in the aid industry guaranteed.Government donor agencies - including Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) — frequently administer aid money inefficiently and ineffectively; 40 per cent of Australian aid investments were rated as 'unsatisfactory' upon completion.If the aim of aid is to bolster our own security, not only should this causal link be established more directly, DFAT should explain why Australia funds aid over other defence spending with a clearer line of sight to maintaining the nation's middle power status.Current approaches to aid program evaluations, including in DFAT's most recent Performance of Australian Development Cooperation Report 2023-24, do not provide that level of accountability. Taxpayers are expected to accept measures like “capacity building” and numbers of individuals “supported” or “reached” in pursuit of development goals.USAID's abolition, while confronting in its audacity, should not be met simply with self-righteous indignation about the supposed nobility of aid work or showing how aid can be weaponised to undercut the West's rivals.Instead, it should be seen as an opportunity to rethink the whole foreign aid system. It's a chance to create a world where countries drive their own development and self-interested ‘generosity' and donor dependence are no longer required.Decoupling foreign aid from national security will allow this money to do what it does best: humanitarian action based on foundational principles of humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality.

This blogcast explores “Pressing in While in the Desert: Getting Over the Mid-Lent Slump" written by Danielle Schmitz and read by Meghan Abando.In this blog post, Danielle shares some advice to rekindle our Lenten fervor as the long penitential season continues. When we find ourselves in “the mid-Lent slump,” we need to remind ourselves of why we committed to Lent in the first place. When we are able to remember this “why,” we are given new strength to continue into the desert, to press in with Jesus into the discomfort, leaning on Him for strength, because we realize we aren't alone in the desert. All of this, however, can be very difficult without practical steps to return to Jesus in the desert. Here are some that I have found to be most helpful when Lent becomes difficult. Consciously make the action in prayer to repent for falling away from your Lenten commitments and “reset them” with Jesus. Explicitly write out your Lenten commitments again. This step of “resetting” gives you a clean slate moving forward in Lent, so you feel less tempted to fall back into whatever your previous situation had been.Find your “why” in Lent. What is the reason that you chose each of your Lenten commitments? What do you hope to gain with them or in what way do you hope to grow with them? When you become tempted to fall away from your commitments, these “whys” will give you a reason to keep going.Build your Lenten commitments into your daily schedule. While the commitments may start out as obligatory this way, as you gain consistency in your practice of them, you will find joy in doing so and will desire to complete them each day.Have an accountability partner. Find someone you trust who can walk with you throughout Lent, checking in to make sure you are staying faithful to your commitments. But more importantly, this person can be someone who you can turn to when things get difficult for support and encouragement. Most importantly, as you press into Lent in the midst of the “slump,” remember the Lord's unending mercy and love for you. As it says in Joel 2, God desires for us to return to Him with contrite hearts so that He can pour out His mercy and grace onto us. When you find yourself struggling in Lent, turn back to Him in all His kindness, and ask Him to walk with you and give you the strength you need to continue following Him into the desert.

"If you can get across to kids that you care, that it's important, that they're important, that solves most of the problem."Gina Simm, author of 'Heart to Heart, Three Systems for Staying Connected,' shares her journey of discovering Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and applying it in her classroom. She discusses the power of empathy cards for children and how they can facilitate communication and conflict resolution. Gina also introduces the concept of the Wheel of Choice, a system that provides children with various options for resolving conflicts. Her book 'Heart to Heart' includes 14 lessons that teach NVC principles and the use of the Wheel of Choice. In this conversation, Gina Simm and Nate Guadagni discuss the power of empathy and connection in resolving conflicts and meeting needs. They emphasize the importance of focusing on the intention to connect rather than solely on problem-solving. Gina offers workshops, coaching, and resources for parents and educators interested in implementing NVC in their lives.Website: https://www.teachingfromyourheart.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ginasimmcreatorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/gina.simm.9About the Host:Nate Guadagni is an NVC based Life Coach with over 15 years of experience in coaching and group facilitation.

Nevermind the athiest that throws shade at the Bible about something he doesn't understand... It's a tragedy when CHRISTIANS start getting nervous about whether they can trust the Bible. This is one of those tricky issues that lack of nuance and cancel-culture-style arguments have ruined for us. NEVER let someone tell you the Bible can't be trusted because it doesn't explicitly condemn slavery. Slavery is NOT the same thing as the evil perpetrated during the transatlantic slave trade. Dive into this explosive topic with us!

Scandal in the Shadows: The Original Priest - Mary Mother Scandal in the Shadows, focuses in on something unbelievably, incredible, which took place in the early History of the Catholic Church, the existence of Mary Priest, otherwise known as Mary Mother of God. Millions of Catholics are unaware of the past presence of Women Apostles, Women Bishops, Women Deacons, and Women Priests, in their Church's History. How could you know, when your own Catholic Church never disclosed the actual truth of this matter to you? Explicitly absent from this book is any type of fabricated conjecture. Instead, its facts are backed up from Biblical research providing you the reader, with the actual truth, rather than the lies and deception you currently receive from your Church hierarchy. To some, ancient controversial knowledge might at first seem Scandalous, but it is there where you will find the Historical Truth of the Women Priest Ordination Issue. Scandal in the Shadows, is written from the perspective of a lay Catholic Woman's realization that she was being lied to about her own Church's past History involving Women Priest's. As the complicity of this centuries old Scandal, continues on she wants her fellow Catholics to learn the actual truth of this matter for themselves.
ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Embrace Silence: Don't fear pauses in conversations. It's natural to take a moment to think about your next question or response during a conversation with a prospect. Setting Conditions for Progress: When faced with a contact unwilling to advance your connection, you have two options: Explicitly ask them what conditions need to be met for them to introduce you to a higher-level contact, like a VP of Marketing. Decide whether to follow their criteria or to prospect directly to reach your goal. Groundswell Motion Strategy: In scenarios where a sales cycle starts with an Account Executive (AE), begin by offering assistance to the AE. This approach often leads to reciprocal help, allowing you to eventually ask for an introduction to your champion. Understanding Motives: It's crucial to discern and address two types of motives, your champion's personal motives and the business or executive motives. Educate your champion on these motives and align them with the broader business objectives to facilitate successful sales efforts.

Why did God allow Solomon to have 1,000 wives and concubines? If God's desire is for one man to be married to one woman, why didn't God more clearly condemn polygamy in the Bible?
SERIES 3 EPISODE 47: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has now finally OVERTLY threatened to shut down the free press in the country, then repeated that threat in a speech at Detroit, and then descended IN that speech to meandering gibberish, the kind of incoherence that would get you institutionalized whether you were 28 or 78 – like him. “A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE.” Once again, he MEANS this. The intent is to punish, bankrupt, prosecute, anybody who criticizes him – that includes CBS, that includes me, and like all totalitarians and dictators that threat to destroy critics will soon or late include YOU. But there is within the threat something almost as frightening. CBS does not HAVE a license. News organizations do not HAVE licenses. Individual over-the-air tv and radio stations HAVE licenses, but if he really managed to take their licenses CBS Television would still exist. So would 60 Minutes. He does not understand this. He is wrong about it. And as we have seen for a decade, when he is wrong, there is only one way out: what he is wrong about, must be CHANGED, so he's RIGHT about it. What Trump is saying is: if he regains power there WILL BE LICENSES for news organizations, and the constitution be damned. Trump also descended into ugly bodily noises and the intellectual skill of a Roomba. And to prove he really was Michigan's Man Of The Year in 2004 he finally produced a newspaper article - from 2023. About 2013. Which was immediately corrected to confirm he'd never been given such an award. A NOTE ABOUT POLLS: If you're panicking, that's part of the plan. There really has been almost no movement in any of the polling averages in three months, and some of the outliers are beyond dubious. The TIPP Pennsylvania poll showing Trump ahead by a point-and-a-half among "likely voters" hides the fact that the data among "registered voters" is Harris by five! How did they doctor that? They cut out almost all the voters from Philadelphia. B-Block (23:08) A LITTLE INSIDE BASEBALL: What happens when one of our celebrity announcers hears the "Toccata" theme from "Worst Persons" at a New York Yankees Playoff game? (27:23) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Should the part of a radio broadcast where the baseball relief pitcher comes in by sponsored by an anti-choking suction device? Kari Lake has a rough night with initials and genders. And The New York Times is right back to cowering before Trump. He talks eugenics and purging migrants; they talk "fascination with genes." C-Block (38:00) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: If you ever thought the impossible stupidity began recently - how could people that dumb afford to travel that far - you're wrong. Thurber's 1937 story tells of an American traveler he met in England who was deeply offended when forced to read Macbeth because she was convinced Shakespeare had incorrectly identified the murderer, in "The Macbeth Murder Mystery."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the world's leading economists joins us to offer a compelling new vision of personal and economic freedom. Many Americans believe this nation was born from the conviction that people must be free. But since the middle of the last century, that idea has been co-opted. Forces on the political right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication, a Big Tech free from oversight, politicians free to incite rebellion, corporations free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are we―and should we―be thinking about? In his new book The Road to Freedom, Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects America's current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare what he identifies as their twinned failure. He says that “free” and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis, the opioid crisis, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength, Stiglitz warns that these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom. As an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. He argues the failures follow from the elites' unshakeable dedication to “the neoliberal experiment.” Explicitly taking on giants such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, Stiglitz says accepted ideas about our political and economic life are really just twisted visions that tear at the social fabric while they enrich the very few. Stiglitz posits what he says is a deeper, more humane way to assess freedoms―one that considers with care what to do when one person's freedom conflicts with another's. He says we must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and embrace forms of collective action, including regulation and investment, if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flourish.

Angela Harders said no to abortion over nine years ago. The decision came with two life-changing phone calls, one to a pregnancy care center and the other to a Planned Parenthood. Why did she choose life and decide not to go to the Planned Parenthood? Why is she standing up for the preborn while so many others believe exceptions should be made based off the circumstance of their conception? We talk about this and more on today's episode.

#RafiFarber - Bloomberg Explicitly Calls the End Game In the Repo Market It's what Rafi Farber has been saying for about two years now. The End Game will be focused on the repo market, where banks trade each other trillions of dollars every night for wholesale funding. With the Fed continuing quantitative tightening, eventually there will not be enough dollars to grease the repo market, and we will hit another repocalypse. Bloomberg finally sees it coming, even using the term "end game" to describe it. In this week's silver report, Rafi goes into this and other topics including the percentage of dollars backed by deferred assets (Fed losses) and when, theoretically, every dollar in existence will be backed by what the Fed owes the Treasury.

Q: What advice do you have for podcast hosts to upgrade their guest booking process? How do the best ones do it, from your perspective? A: Notify the guest the interview has gone live, provide promotional materials, and follow up to ask the guest if they have promoted it. As a podcast host, refining your guest booking and episode release process can significantly enhance your show's reach and impact. Here are several strategies to improve engagement and ensure both you and your guests get the most out of every episode: 1. Communicate Effectively: Episode Alerts: Always notify your guests when their episodes go live. This simple step ensures they can share the episode with their networks, vastly increasing your audience. 2. Provide Promotional Tools: Ready-to-Share Assets: Equip your guests with promotional materials such as: Graphic promoting the show and guest Graphics with quotes from the episode Video clips These tools make it easy for guests to spread the word and engage their followers. 3. Follow Up: Engagement Check-In: Don't hesitate to follow up with guests to confirm they've shared the episode. A gentle reminder can go a long way, especially if they're busy or might have overlooked the notification. 4. Encourage Reviews: Simplify the Ask: Include a checkbox in your scheduling tool (like Calendly) where guests can commit to promoting the episode or leaving a five-star review. Explicitly asking for reviews increases the likelihood of receiving them, boosting your podcast's credibility. 5. Reflect on Feedback: Continuous Improvement: Regularly solicit and reflect on guest feedback. This can highlight areas for enhancement, from the quality of your content to the effectiveness of your promotion strategy. By implementing these tips, you not only foster a better relationship with your guests but also improve your podcast's visibility and listener engagement.

Turns out, it was! We ended up learning five solid ideas: three developed by us, one from Rabbeinu Yonah, and another from the Meiri. Every pasuk in Mishlei pertains to decision-making, but this was one of those pesukim which were EXPLICITLY about decision-making as a whole, in addition to being a key pasuk about how to strengthen one's relationship with Hashem.-----מקורות:משלי טז:ב-ג; כא:ל-לאמצודת ציון/דודתרגום רס"גרבינו יונהEpictetus - Enchiridion 1:1מאיריקהלת יב:ידhttps://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/my-gemara-rebbis-advice-to-graduates-of-----The Torah content for the first half of July has been sponsored by Rachayl with “a heartfelt thank you.” Summer is now fully underway!

What happens when the intense focus on solving a specific problem is paired with a clear understanding of what not to do? In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Lindsay Pederson interviews Bill Richter, CEO of Qumulo, about the power of long-term thinking, customer partnerships, and the importance of focus in business. Bill emphasizes the value of creating enduring customer relationships by staying true to the company's mission and not diluting efforts by trying to do everything. The conversation delves into the challenges of maintaining focus, the significance of trust in building a brand, and the necessity of clarity in driving organizational success. Focus is key: Focusing on solving one specific problem better than anyone else is crucial for startups to stand out and succeed in a competitive market. Long-term thinking: Prioritizing long-term customer satisfaction over short-term gains builds trust, credibility, and enduring value for the business. Trust is essential: Building trust with customers through long-term relationships and reliable service leads to positive recommendations and sustainable growth. Explicitly define what not to do: Clearly outlining what the company will not focus on is as important as defining its main objectives to maintain strategic alignment and avoid distractions. Customer obsession: Being customer-driven and prioritizing customer needs helps in defining the company's roadmap and ensuring product-market fit. Clarity is jet fuel: Providing clarity within the organization fuels productivity, engagement, and a sense of purpose among employees, driving overall success. Balancing customer requests: Balancing customer demands with the company's core mission ensures alignment with the business's long-term goals and values. Maximizing tool utilization: Focusing on maximizing the use of existing tools rather than acquiring new ones enhances efficiency and productivity within the organization. Openness as a trait: Valuing openness in others fosters effective communication, collaboration, and a culture of transparency within the team. Consistency in habits: Maintaining consistent habits, like enjoying a cup of black coffee, can provide stability and routine in a busy workday, enhancing focus and productivity.

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Embrace Silence: Don't fear pauses in conversations. It's natural to take a moment to think about your next question or response during a conversation with a prospect. Setting Conditions for Progress: When faced with a contact unwilling to advance your connection, you have two options: Explicitly ask them what conditions need to be met for them to introduce you to a higher-level contact, like a VP of Marketing. Decide whether to follow their criteria or to prospect directly to reach your goal. Groundswell Motion Strategy: In scenarios where a sales cycle starts with an Account Executive (AE), begin by offering assistance to the AE. This approach often leads to reciprocal help, allowing you to eventually ask for an introduction to your champion. Understanding Motives: It's crucial to discern and address two types of motives, your champion's personal motives and the business or executive motives. Educate your champion on these motives and align them with the broader business objectives to facilitate successful sales efforts.

Questions about how to reconcile the biblical model of marriage with polygamy in the Old Testament, why the Israelites weren't explicitly forbidden to practice polygamy, and how we can gain wisdom from Solomon about marriage when he had 700 wives and 300 concubines. How can we reconcile the biblical model of marriage (one man, one woman, one flesh, one lifetime) with the deviations from this model in the Old Testament, especially involving polygamy? What are your thoughts on why the Israelites were not explicitly forbidden to practice polygamy? How is it that we gain so much knowledge and wisdom from Solomon regarding marriage and relationships when he had 700 wives and 300 concubines?

TLDR: These show notes were optimized using Claude ChatGPT 4.0 and are designed to make you listen to the full episode. We also asked H4.0 to write a brief limerick summarizing the show notes.There once was a podcast on AI,Transforming accounting, oh my!With Mitchell's insight,Efficiency in sight,A must-listen for those on the fly.Show Notes:Welcome to Future Finance, with your hosts Paul Barnhurst and Glenn Hopper, where we focus on the technological advancements and emerging trends fueling the FP&A professionals. We bring you vital updates and insights into the technologies that are going to shape not just finance and accounting, but every sector of the world in the years ahead.In today's episode, Paul and Glenn engage in a conversation with Mitchell Troyanovsky, Co-Founder of Basis, to discuss the transformative impact of AI on the accounting profession. The discussion highlights the differences between rule-based systems and generative AI.Highlights of the Episode:Generative AI vs. Rule-Based Systems: Generative AI offers contextual understanding and reasoning, unlike rule-based systems that rely on rigid if-then statements, making it more adaptable to complex accounting tasks.AI as a Digital Assistant: AI can create first drafts of accounting tasks, enabling accountants to review and refine the work, thus saving time and increasing productivity. "You'll start having accountants much more of their job, rather than being this kind of monotonous manual work, start to be like, okay, this work has been done for me as a first draft, let me now review it."Enhancing Strategic Value: AI acts as a digital assistant, supplementing the workforce rather than replacing it, and allowing accountants to provide more strategic value to their clients. "It is a tool for accountants. Explicitly, at the end of the day, the job that they can do the best is to advise their clients, help their clients, help them make better decisions, and be that partner, with them, rather than needing to be stuck in all the manual work needed to get to that actual real value add at the end of the day."Shifting Roles and Skills: The introduction of AI in accounting will shift the focus from data entry and basic tasks to more analytical and advisory roles, making the profession more appealing to new graduates.Addressing Trust Issues: While AI will make mistakes, just like human employees, it is essential to implement systems to catch errors and continuously improve AI performance through feedback and iteration.Future Finance is sponsored by QFlow.ai, the strategic finance platform solving the toughest part of planning and analysis: B2B revenue.

Stiglitz is a professor of economics at Columbia University and the recipient of a John Bates Clark Medal and a Nobel Prize. He is also the former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank. His books include Globalization and Its Discontents, The Three Trillion Dollar War, and Making Globalization Work. He lives in New York City. From one of the world's leading economists, a compelling new vision of personal and economic freedom. We are a nation born from the conviction that people must be free. But since the middle of the last century, that idea has been co-opted. Forces on the political Right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication, a Big Tech free from oversight, politicians free to incite rebellion, corporations free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are we―and should we―be thinking about? In The Road to Freedom, Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects America's current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare their twinned failure. “Free” and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis, the opioid crisis, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength, these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom. As an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. As he argues, the failures follow from the elites' unshakeable dedication to “the neoliberal experiment.” Explicitly taking on giants such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, Stiglitz exposes accepted ideas about our political and economic life for what they are: twisted visions that tear at the social fabric while they enrich the very few. The Road to Freedom breaks new ground, showing how economics―including recent advances in which Stiglitz has played such an important role―reframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-first century society. Drawing on the work of contemporary philosophers, Stiglitz explains a deeper, more humane way to assess freedoms―one that considers with care what to do when one person's freedom conflicts with another's. We must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and embrace forms of collective action, including regulation and investment, if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flourish. The task could not be more urgent, and Stiglitz's latest book is essential reading for those committed to the American ideal of an economic and political system that delivers well-being, opportunity, and meaningful freedoms for all.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: "Fractal Strategy" workshop report, published by Raemon on April 7, 2024 on LessWrong. I just ran a workshop teaching the rationality concepts I've developed this year. If you're interested in paying money for a similar workshop, please fill out this form. Six months ago, I started thinking about improving rationality. Originally my frame was "deliberate practice for confusing problems". For the past two months, I've been iterating on which skills seemed useful to me personally, and which I might convey to others in a short period of time. I settled into the frame "what skills are necessary for finding and pivoting to 10x better plans?". It's the area I most needed rationality for, myself, and it seemed generalizable to a lot of people I know. I ended up with 5-10 skills I used on a regular basis, and I put together a workshop aiming to teach those skills in an immersive bootcamp environment. The skills wove together into a framework I'm tentatively called "Fractal Strategy", although I'm not thrilled with that name. Basically, whenever I spend a bunch of resources on something, I... Explicitly ask "what are my goals?" Generate 2-5 plans at 3 different strategic levels Identify my cruxes for choosing between plans Fluently operationalize fatebook predictions about those cruxes Check if I can cheaply reduce uncertainty on my cruxes The framework applies to multiple timescales. I invest more in this meta-process when making expensive, longterm plans. But I often find it useful to do a quick version of it even on the ~30-60 minute timescale. I put together a workshop, aiming to: help people improve their current, object level plan help people improve their overall planmaking/OODA-loop process tl;dr on results I didn't obviously succeed at #1 (I think people made some reasonable plan updates, but not enough to immediately say an equivalent of "Hot Damn, look at that graph". See the Feedback section for more detail). I think many people made conceptual and practical updates to their planning process, but it's too early to tell if it'll stick, or help. Nonetheless, everyone at the workshop said it seemed like at least a good use of their time as what they'd normally have been doing. I asked "how much would you have paid for this?" and the average answer was $800 (range from $300 to $1,500). When I was applying these techniques to myself, it took me more like ~3 weeks to update my plans in a significant way. My guess is that the mature version of the workshop comes with more explicit followup-coaching. Workshop Outline First, here's a quick overview of what happened. Beforehand: People sent me a short writeup of their current plans for the next 1-2 weeks, and broader plans for the next 1-6 months. Day 1: Practice skills on quick-feedback exercises Everyone installs the fatebook chrome/firefox extension Solve a puzzle with Dots and a Grid with an unspecified goal Solve a GPQA question with 95% confidence Try to one-shot a Baba is You puzzle For both of those puzzles (Baba and GPQA), ask "How could I have thought that faster?" Play a videogame like Luck Be a Landlord, and make fermi-calculations about your choices within the game. For all exercises, make lots of fatebook predictions about how the exercise will go. Day 2: Big picture strategic thinking Work through a series of prompts about your big picture plans. Write up at least two different big-picture plans that seem compelling Think about short-feedback exercises you could do on Day 3 Day 3: Choose your own short exercises, and object-level work Morning: Do concrete exercises/games/puzzles that require some kind of meta-planning skill, that feels useful to you. Afternoon: Do object-level work on your best alternative big picture plan, You get to practice "applying the method" on the ~hour timescale You flesh out your se...

If you've been in education long enough, you know that new acronyms and ideas are constantly being tossed out there. Once these ideas are presented, schools and districts want them implemented, which results in teachers stressing about incorporating them into their lessons. But in reality, teachers are already doing a lot of these ideas; they're just called something different. This is exactly what happened with CER. So, in today's episode, I'm explaining what CER is and why you're already doing this in your science classroom. For those that don't know, CER is an acronym for claim evidence reasoning. When this came onto the scene a few years ago, my inbox was flooded with questions on how to implement this and if it was incorporated into my curriculum resources. My response has always been the same - you're already implementing this in your classroom because science is all about making claims and backing them up with evidence and reasoning. With that being said, I'm sharing how to be more intentional about using the language so your students learn to expect this type of response to any question. Although the term CER is new, the structure for how students construct an explanation is not. I know the stress and pressure of implementing something new in your classroom that your school is promoting, but I hope that this episode encourages and reinforces that you're already doing this in your science classrooms despite it having a new name.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan opens an investigation into FBI's use of “geofence warrants,” a type of broad warrant which seizes all data from everyone using geo-fencing or phone data, by tracking Americans to pinpoint whether any crimes were committed without probable cause. The Ohio Congressman comments that these are similar to “general warrants” in English Law that the Founding Fathers explicitly rejected in the Fourth Amendment of the Constiution. Jordan says that legislation is being introduced to stop these types of broad warrants saying, for example with “Bank of America, [the FBI] will have to get a warrant to get this information, [the Bank] can't be just turning it over, there has to be a specific warrant, that is our system, that is what this country was founded on.” Saying, “think about it, would Sam Adam think this is okay? Would John Adams? Would George Washington? Would any of those great Americans who started this experiment in Liberty we call America, the greatest nation ever, would they approve of what we're seeing?” The Ohio Congressman says Republicans will be pursuing “legislation and frankly will also look at the appropriations process and how we can use the power of the purse, the power of the appropriations” to look at how “American tax dollars” are being spent to influence this.
