Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it's a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world? Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.

Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! In this episode, Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss tackle the controversial topic of 'shadow standards' in the workplace. They explore the ethics and implications of employees outsourcing their own jobs to other workers, often in other countries, without their employers' knowledge. The discussion touches on the legal, ethical, and practical ramifications of this growing trend and offers insights into how both employees and employers can navigate this complex landscape.Highlights:"Employees are outsourcing their jobs, effectively becoming mini-agencies themselves.""Is it deceptive if you wouldn't proudly announce what you're doing?""Good employers will always support efficiency and innovative ideas.""Outsourcing your job without transparency is setting yourself up for liability."Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction 01:12 - The Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting02:49 - Ethical Dilemma: Outsourcing Personal Jobs05:30 - Employer Perspective on Shadow Standards08:49 - Legal and Security Implications12:19 - Hypocrisy and Exploitation in Shadow Work14:41 - Building a Team Ethically and Transparently18:35 - Crucial Policies and Handbook Updates20:31 - Encouraging Transparent Efficiency23:02 - The Problem with Shadow Work24:37 - The Value of High-Level Employees30:55 - Conclusion and TakeawaysCONNECT • Ask Roland a question HERE.RESOURCES:• 7 Steps to Scalable workbook • Get my book, Zero Down, FREETo learn more about Roland Frasier
Celebrity romances have always captured the public's imagination, playing out like soap operas seized upon by fans and tabloids alike. By the same token, high-profile trials can take over the mainstream media cycle, with both news pundits and the public picking over every detail to predict outcomes and cast their own judgements. Enter the union, dissolution, and hostile legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard-where these dual obsessions collided in a chaotic moment of true cultural fixation.Hollywood Vampires offers an inside account of one of the most controversial and consequential celebrity scandals of the internet era. Fueled by viral clips, reaction videos, and endless online debates, the trial became more than a legal battle. It became a public spectacle, dividing audiences worldwide. Kelly Loudenberg and Makiko Wholey were documentarians and journalists on the ground for the Depp vs Heard trial. Having closely followed both Johnny, Amber, and their camps, they spent years leading up to and following the trial, interviewing the couple's closest allies as well as their managers, lawyers, agents, business associates, publicists, assistants, and personal staff. Culled from their reporting in Fairfax, Virginia, as well as over 50 hours of exclusive video footage, Hollywood Vampires is a lucid, inside-the-room account that reveals a story the world thinks it knows in an entirely new light."Over the seven weeks we spent covering the trial, we came to a profound realization: unraveling the complexity, nuance, and cultural significance of the story required the depth and breadth that only a book could provide. What started as a traditional documentary transformed into a literary investigation that allowed us to spend several years conducting extensive interviews and performing meticulous research on the multifaceted characters and narratives that intersected in this case. In crafting this book, we have made a sincere effort to represent all perspectives and tell a complete story. We've approached the subject matter with both journalistic integrity and narrative flair. Hollywood Vampires offers readers more than just celebrity gossip or true crime intrigue-it explores questions about power, perception, gender dynamics, and the court of public opinion in our digital age," said Loudenberg and Wholey.Turning the lens around, Hollywood Vampires questions how the Hollywood exploitation machine, strengthened by the forces of social media and legacy media alike, blurs the lines between fact and fiction, reportage and voyeurism, comedy and horror. It also explores how social media transformed a courtroom-a pillar of justice-into a source of digital mayhem where misinformation spread like wildfire. The result is a page-turning Hollywood epic full of revealing details that tell a wider tale about the celebrity-industrial complex, modern fandom, inflammatory culture wars, and contemporary feminism. With its unparalleled access and in-depth, investigative approach, Hollywood Vampires is set to join the ranks of other bestselling books like BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS by Mandy Matney, CATCH AND KILL by Ronan Farrow and ENDGAME by Omid Scobie.For readers of weighty, reported cultural narratives as well as pop-culture obsessives, this book offers a rare glimpse into the hidden machinery of Hollywood, the power plays embedded within our justice system, and the private lives of two of the biggest movie stars in the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
Balancing exploration and exploitation is a fundamental strategic challenge for organizations operating in dynamic environments. Managers must decide how often and when to search for new technologies and products, weighing the costs of exploration against the risk of missing trends that could render their business models obsoleteTo dig deep into this topic I am delighted to be speaking today to Professor Axel Zeijen.About our guest…Axel Zeijen is a Lecturer at the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics at ETH Zurich in Switzerland.With a background in industrial engineering and innovation sciences, Axel is broadly interested in technological change and its organizational implications. In particular, he attempts to understand where and how technological forces and firm strategy interact, and how this process plays out. His research projects cover industries where new technologies change the capabilities of firms, create new opportunities for change, and affect how competition plays out.

Mit Nickel Boys liefert RaMel Moss sein Spielfilmdebüt – und das direkt Oscar-nominiert. Die Verfilmung von Colson Whiteheads Roman führt tief in die rassistischen Strukturen der 1960er-Jahre in den USA und nimmt dabei eine ungewöhnliche filmische Perspektive ein: Die Ego-Kamera macht das Leid der Protagonisten auf verstörende Weise unmittelbar. Was bedeutet es, wenn ein Film Grausamkeit nicht inszeniert, sondern erlebbar macht? Und wie funktioniert das jenseits von Exploitation?
With the rise of all things AI, what effect is this having on trafficking and exploitation? To share more about this we invited Nancy Irizarry, Social Services Director for the Wisconsin Dept. of Health Services and Co-Chair for the Wisconsin Anti-Trafficking Consortium. Nancy provides an insightful analysis on what she believes are positives to AI utilization when it comes to identification and prevention of trafficking but also shares some of the chief ways it aids recruitment using deception and coercion for traffickers and abusers. She also shares about how crucial it is to bring survivors to the table and to be mindful about the unintended consequences ai can have on existing survivors' privacy and safety. If you'd like to have Nancy train your group on this topic - you can reach out to her via email: nancy.irizarry@dhs.wisconsin.gov

The story so far: So much happens in the Movie Hole (like dying, killer robots, killer clowns, magic mole scrolls, etc) that sometimes it's nice to take a break from all the insanity.Who knew other people could check-out movies from the Movie Hole?! Well when Moleman closes a door, he opens a window, so we make do with what we have and check out the 1976 animal exploitation Thai action film Killer Elephants! This American cut of the film involves non-stop action and elephant excitement, but that won't stop us from diverging into discussions about video game logic, teacup elephants, and our dream to elephant walk across America!

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, ‘Here I am! Send me.'” - Isaiah 6:8The news from the Middle East can be overwhelming, but our hope in Christ calls us to take action. Today, May-Lee Melki from Heart for Lebanon joins us to share how you can help protect young women and girls facing crisis. Then it's on to your calls at 800-525-7000.May-Lee Melki is a Lebanese-American advocate, legal scholar, and ministry leader dedicated to advancing justice and holistic transformation in the Middle East. She serves as the Strategic Engagement Manager at Heart for Lebanon, an underwriter of Faith and Finance.Why Lebanon's Girls Need Us NowLebanon today is not the Lebanon of a generation ago. Compounded crises have pushed countless families into desperation, and girls ages 13–21 often bear the heaviest burden. Without a father, brother, or male guardian to protect them, they face decisions made for them—decisions that can lock them into abuse for life.The urgency has never been higher. These girls can change their country, the region, and the Church—but only if someone intervenes before tragedy strikes.A Concrete Goal: 500 Girls by June 30Heart for Lebanon has already welcomed 250 at-risk girls into its programs this year. With your help, we can reach the remaining 250 before June 30. The math is simple—and remarkably attainable:$114 introduces three girls to Jesus and a pathway to safety.$950 opens the door for twenty-five girls.Less than $10,000 completes the entire goal.Every investment provides:Safe spaces & mentorshipChrist-centered counseling focused on identity and dignityEducation & vocational training rooted in biblical character and life skillsChurch communities where girls—and, prayerfully, their families—can grow in faithHow Your Gift Transforms a LifeRecently, Meili met Iman, a 12-year-old refugee forced to work all day for $20 a month—money her father uses for cigarettes. After a chapel session, with tears in her eyes, Iman asked, "Who is Jesus?" That day, she prayed to receive Christ, saying:“My circumstances may not change immediately, but Jesus will change my heart and be with me.”Your support keeps Iman in school, surrounds her with Christian counselors, and plugs her into a loving church, offering hope not only to her but to her whole family.Two Ways You Can Help TodayPray:Ask the Lord to protect these girls and soften the hearts of their families.Pray for the Heart for Lebanon staff who daily serve in challenging conditions. Give Generously:Text “FAITH” to 98656—we'll reply with a secure giving link.Visit FaithFi.com/Lebanon to give online.Remember: $114 = three girls rescued and discipled in Christ.Jesus taught, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21) When you invest in Heart for Lebanon, you're putting your heart into something that echoes into eternity—protecting girls from exploitation, introducing them to the Savior, and empowering them to transform their communities for Christ.Let's finish strong. Join us in reaching the final 250 young women before June 30. Together, we can turn desperation into dignity and despair into hope—one precious girl at a time. Give now at FaithFi.com/Lebanon or text “FAITH” to 98656.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have two financial advisors, and I would like to know which one to work with. One has been with our family for 30 years, but his fees are high. The other has a different investment approach, but his fees are much lower. I'm struggling with the emotional side of potentially changing advisors after such a long-term working relationship. How should I evaluate this situation?I have a 13-year-old son who has been earning money doing yard work and has now saved over $2,000. I would like to know the best place for a young teenager to start saving and investing.

News Langages Wasm 2.0 enfin officialisé ! https://webassembly.org/news/2025-03-20-wasm-2.0/ La spécification Wasm 2.0 est officiellement sortie en décembre dernier. Le consensus sur la spécification avait été atteint plus tôt, en 2022. Les implémentations majeures supportent Wasm 2.0 depuis un certain temps. Le processus W3C a pris du temps pour atteindre le statut de “Recommandation Candidate” pour des raisons non techniques. Les futures versions de Wasm adopteront un modèle “evergreen” où la “Recommandation Candidate” sera mise à jour en place. La dernière version de la spécification est considérée comme le standard actuel (Candidate Recommendation Draft). La version la plus à jour est disponible sur la page GitHub (GitHub page). Wasm 2.0 inclut les nouveautés suivantes : Instructions vectorielles pour le SIMD 128-bit. Instructions de manipulation de mémoire en bloc pour des copies et initialisations plus rapides. Résultats multiples pour les instructions, blocs et fonctions. Types références pour les références à des fonctions ou objets externes. Conversions non-piégeantes de flottant à entier. Instructions d'extension de signe pour les entiers signés. Wasm 2.0 est entièrement rétrocompatible avec Wasm 1.0.

Chatbots : pas toujours l'option LLM la plus intuitive ou la moins perturbatrice. Préconisation : IA directement dans les applications pour plus d'intelligence et d'utilité naturelle. Exemples d'intégration transparente : résumés des conversations Gmail et chat, web clipper Obsidian qui résume et taggue, complétion de code LLM. Meilleure UX IA : intégrée, contextuelle, sans “boutons IA” ou fenêtres de chat dédiées.

Technique d'attaque sophistiquée : les packages volent les identifiants utilisateur, récupèrent un payload chiffré depuis des serveurs contrôlés par les pirates, puis remplacent le fichier main.js de Cursor. Persistance assurée en désactivant les mises à jour automatiques de Cursor et en redémarrant l'application avec le code malveillant intégré. Nouvelle méthode de compromission : au lieu d'injecter directement du malware, les attaquants publient des packages qui modifient des logiciels légitimes déjà installés sur le système. Persistance même après suppression : le malware reste actif même si les packages npm malveillants sont supprimés, nécessitant une réinstallation complète de Cursor. Exploitation de la confiance : en s'exécutant dans le contexte d'une application légitime (IDE), le code malveillant hérite de tous ses privilèges et accès. Package “rand-user-agent” compromis : un package légitime populaire a été infiltré pour déployer un cheval de Troie d'accès distant (RAT) dans certaines versions. Recommandations de sécurité : surveiller les packages exécutant des scripts post-installation, modifiant des fichiers hors node_modules, ou initiant des appels réseau inattendus, avec monitoring d'intégrité des fichiers. Loi, société et organisation Le drama OpenRewrite (automatisation de refactoring sur de larges bases de code) est passé en mode propriétaire https://medium.com/@jonathan.leitschuh/when-open-source-isnt-how-openrewrite-lost-its-way-642053be287d Faits Clés : Moderne, Inc. a re-licencié silencieusement du code OpenRewrite (dont rewrite-java-security) de la licence Apache 2.0 à une licence propriétaire (MPL) sans consultation des contributeurs. Ce re-licenciement rend le code inaccessible et non modifiable pour les contributeurs originaux. Moderne s'est retiré de la Commonhaus Foundation (dédiée à l'open source) juste avant ces changements. La justification de Moderne est la crainte que de grandes entreprises utilisent OpenRewrite sans contribuer, créant une concurrence. Des contributions communautaires importantes (VMware, AliBaba) sous Apache 2.0 ont été re-licenciées sans leur consentement. La légalité de ce re-licenciement est incertaine sans CLA des contributeurs. Cette action crée un précédent dangereux pour les futurs contributeurs et nuit à la confiance dans l'écosystème OpenRewrite. Corrections de Moderne (Suite aux réactions) : Les dépôts Apache originaux ont été restaurés et archivés. Des versions majeures ont été utilisées pour signaler les changements de licence. Des espaces de noms distincts (org.openrewrite vs. io.moderne) ont été créés pour différencier les modules. Suggestions de Correction de l'Auteur : Annuler les changements de licence sur toutes les recettes communautaires. S'engager dans le dialogue et communiquer publiquement les changements majeurs. Respecter le versionnement sémantique (versions majeures pour les changements de licence).

"You made a point in your recent call in with the OnlyFans woman that women shouldn't feel accomplished for making money from selling their images on OnlyFans because they haven't earned their beauty. However, as you do well know IQ is 80% genetic and becomes more genetic as you get older. You Stef yourself experienced a childhood that would be the model of creating a homeless drug addict living in the street, however you did not become a drug addict or homeless, in fact you became a very successful businessman both as a former software executive and also now as a self-employed philosopher. So despite all the environmental odds being against you as a poor child living in a home with an absent father and a dysfunctional mother; you achieved great success, and your success stems not from your environment but your high IQ and your work ethic, both of which are largely genetic, in fact just as much genetic as women who have big boobs, perfect facial structure and peachy booty is also genetic. Now there is some environmental tailoring that can be done such as going to the gym or working hard, however work ethic is also largely genetic. Interestingly, I would in fact argue that that a persons physical body is actually less genetically determined than a persons IQ; the amount of physical transformation a woman's body can go through from the gym is more extreme than anything a person could attempt to do to increase their IQ. Jordan Peterson said there is nothing that can be done to increase IQ. So the point of all this backstory is to ask ‘Why do you think women selling photos of themselves is not good because they haven't earned it, they just inherited it like winning the lottery?.' You yourself didn't earn your high IQ and pretty much everything a person does whether it is work ethic, personality is all driven largely by predetermined genetic factors. In extreme cases someone who is born with a high IQ can be totally destroyed by the environment to the point they can't read, but generally speaking apart from extreme cases everything a person does and every accomplishment a person has earned is the result of innate genetic inheritance. Thus, why would you say a woman hasn't earned her beauty shouldn't sell it when you Stef haven't earned your high IQ? Does this suggest a bias where you believe intellectual work; though just as much predetermined as a woman's physical appearance is superior to says OnlyFans work, and does this suggestion instigate any personal reflection in yourself that suggests the reason you are against women selling their beauty on OnlyFans and the like, is because you inherited a high IQ and as such you have a bias to do work that suits your natural genetic predisposition? Thus, would you acknowledge it is an inconsistent argument to make that women who make money from their genetic disposition is bad because they quote, ‘haven't earned it'?""- Sorry, risking life and limb to spread peaceful parenting and moral philosophy is the same as selling pictures of your butthole on the internet? Do you even hear yourself?""@freedomain I do not disagree with the claim that peaceful parenting has tremendous value for society, certainly more value than quote ,'butthole' pics. However, you did not make that claim in your conversation with the OnlyFans woman and that was not the claim I was disputing in my question. I was specifically disputing your claim that women haven't earned the ability to make money using their body because it's ‘unearned'. At 1hour:30min of your OnlyFans woman call-in you said Quote:"‘I think that we end up happier if we get paid for things that just aren't accidental to us'."You then said to the OnlyFans caller ‘You did not earn your body'. Again this is a bad argument because a lot of people put a lot of work in the gym and dieting to get an amazing body so your assumption that OnlyFans women didn't earn their body is in many cases false. I've noticed from my experience at the gym, that women who have a great perfect butt are far more common in the gym then you would expect to find by chance by walking around in random public places. I'm certain there is a type of perfect peachy ideal female butt that certain women have that is largely the result of hard work in the gym, not solely the result because genetics are also involved of course, but an enhanced female butt is certainly the result of hard work in the gym based on my own first-hand observations of women in the gym. However, the main problem with your argument is that - All abilities whether it is the height of a basketball player, the strength of a bricklayer, the petite stature of a ballerina or the mental ability of a philosopher stems from inate 'unearned' genetic factors. Thus, a woman has just as much right to sell photos of her ‘butthole', as a computer programmer has the right to use their high IQ to earn money. So this specific argument you were making in the call-in was a bad argument for all the reasons I have listed herein. You could make the argument that ‘tits and ass' pics add no value to society, but on the contrary philosophy and peaceful parenting does, however you did not make that argument in your call-in. I was simply pointing out in my question that you used a flawed argument rather than a good argument during your recent OnlyFans woman call-in. I think you should add a prelude to your OnlyFans call-in to let future viewers know that you presented a bad argument on this specific point. It's not a big deal because in a 2 plus hour convo you can miss what you may or may not have already said, however considering 10% of American women between 18-28 are already selling ‘tits and ass' pics on Onlyfans, you may see it Stef as your responsibility to provide a thorough argument as to why women shouldn't do OnlyFans rather than the flawed 'unearned' argument you presented in your recent OnlyFans call-in and apend it to the end of the call-in.""- She never talked about putting hours in the gym - she said she was just grew big breasts. I also acknowledged that some sex workers do work hard on maintaining their figures.

Welcome to a very special bonus episode of the Taboo Trades podcast! Today I have a record number of guests – five in total—continuing a discussion that we began at Yale's Newman Colloquium earlier this summer. We discuss exploitation and trafficking in international human rights law, especially in the context of reproductive and sexual labor. You'll hear more about that colloquium and that conversation during the podcast. Each guest introduces themselves at the start of the podcast, but you can also read their full bios and a reading list in the show notes. Host: Kim Krawiec, Charles O.

Extraction and Exploitation in the Global South under the Decarbonization Consensus and Theories and Praxis for a Just TransitionDiscussion with Professor Miriam Lang and Mary Ann Manahan on how current energy transition efforts are framed under a colonialist narrative that continues and entrenches extraction, exploitation and interference in the Global South. We discuss how the Global North is utilizing emergency framing to create sacrifice zones across the Global South, rife with environmental destruction, resource depletion, land grabbing and human rights violations. We also discuss how renewable energy infrastructure mega projects in the Global South impede local resources while failing to alleviate energy poverty, and the deception and detrimental impact of creative carbon offset accounting. Additionally, we look at the continued internalization of externalities in the Global South, saddled with odious debt and subject to the corrupt ISDS system, creating economic vulnerability and democratic deficits. We also discuss grassroots ecological movements and how we can move from green colonialism to create an equitable and ecological transition.For More Info: http://thegravity.fm/#/episode/65
IntroductionThe picture in our home of Jesus knocking on the door – all the hidden messages! No way to open the door from the outside - “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”Revelation 3:20 the heart of Jesus – the darkness on the inside, a ram's head? rose of Sharon? “I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women.” Song of Songs 2:1-2 NIV Read Text - John 2:13-25 The pictures in the storyThey point to the big event setting the stage for the main Passover eventThe 3rd day reference to the resurrectionThe Passover, the Lamb of God here, John 7 and later comes the climax of salvation…The whip and purificationSigns of authority – Jonah Crowds that believeThe staircase events of John 1:51- heaven touching earthPreparation for persecutionHow does this fit in with the image you have of Jesus?An angry guy? With your image of the loving gentle Jesus?Notice the whip?Understanding the situation: the influx of people to the Passover ca. 2 million and the temple tax – ½ shekel was worth 2 weeks labor for a common laborer, or a ½ week for a skilled laborer. (50 shekels was a good wage.) Today a comparison would have been ca. $2000 plus an animal from dove to sheep and goats or oxen. Imagine the noise, the smells, the bargaining, and the shouting going on in a marketplace! Photos! Bargaining and kickbacks in the marketplace that was to be a house of prayer for the nations! David Pawson suggests 4 reasons why Jesus was so angry:Laziness and convenience?Exploitation?Nationalism?Misappropriation? – And, and: “for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”” Isaiah 56:7 What authority did Jesus have?He is the Son of God, the real High Priest: “It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.” Hebrews 9:23-24 He is the Messiah of Israel: Malachi 3:1-4 ““I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.” Malachi 3:1-4 He is the temple of God – that is his authority to cleanse How does it affect us? We become believers when we see the signs“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19) “In (him) you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:22) Jesus has authority to cleans the temple! Is he cleansing your temple? What are the hindrances? David Pawson writes: “is your body just a library to be stuffed with knowledge? Is your body a bank, a place for gathering money? Is your body a playhouse, simply for pleasure? Is your body a pigsty where slimy passions rule? Or is your body a temple where God lives?”Let's examine the 4 possible reasons why Jesus cleansed the temple:Convenience - Exploitation – Nationalization - Misappropriation
Organizations love to optimize—but often forget what, or who, they're optimizing for. When teams are built around internal structures rather than customer outcomes, even the best strategies become slow to adapt.Author and data analyst Neil Hoyne and Pini Yakuel explore how behavioral rigidity, not technical limitations, holds most companies back. Drawing from principles in Neil Hoyne's book, Converted, they argue for a shift toward systems that favor adaptability, exploration, and proximity to the customer. Because in a world shaped by AI, the real competitive edge is not just speed—it's staying meaningfully connected to the people you serve.Key TakeawaysWhen roles become identities, organizations lose flexibility. Over-specialization makes it harder for teams to respond to evolving customer needs.Behavioral defaults—not tech—often slow teams down. Loyalty to familiar workflows or team structures can block innovation, even when tools are available.AI works best when aligned with real customer strategy. It's not a shortcut or a strategy in itself—it's a multiplier for what actually matters.Customer-centricity requires outcome-driven teams. Structuring around internal functions, rather than external impact, leads to misaligned incentives.Small shifts in ownership create big changes in experience. Empowering teams to work across silos—even partially—brings them closer to the customer, and closer to results.Key Quotes[00:13:50] “Marketing teams don't just bake bread—they are bread. It's not just what they do; it's who they've become. So when the shift happens—when the customer wants cupcakes instead—they miss it entirely. Because they weren't watching the customer. They were defending the bread.” – Neil Hoyne[00:21:13] “If your strategy is ‘use AI better than the competition,' you don't have a strategy.” – Neil Hoyne[00:25:46] “Accelerate what already works. Tactics are multipliers, not miracles.” – Pini[00:46:47] “Positionless isn't binary. Can you let a team own 10% of something, start to finish?” – Pini Yakuel[00:51:39] “We've gone too far into specialization. It's time to bring back the craftsman.” – Neil HoyneAssociated Links:Learn more about Optimove's platformsLearn more about Positionless MarketingRead Converted by Neil HoyneCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

We lost the legendary Wings Hauser recently, so we decided to pick two films out of his enormous filmography for this episode of the podcast. Both films are from 1988, and we start off with "The Carpenter" from director David Wellington. It focuses on a couple that has moved into an old house, and, while making repairs, they realize there might be a ghostly presence in the home with a very violent streak. It's interesting with some bizarre moments, and Wings is up to his normal, charming, shenanigans. We follow that with "Nightmare at Noon", which is basically a remake of the 1984 movie "Mutant" which we covered in episode 219, including pairing Wings back up with Bo Hopkins! It's a lot of fun with crazy stunts throughout! Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

Épisode 3. Cette année où tout peut basculer. L'année 2025 s'annonce cruciale pour l'océan. Elle a, d'abord, démarré avec une session mouvementée à l'Autorité internationale des fonds marins (AIFM) qui travaille depuis plusieurs années à l'élaboration d'un code minier en vue d'une potentielle future exploitation minière des grands fonds marins. Depuis 2021, les pressions montent de toute part, avec d'un côté, les pays comme la France qui sont en faveur d'une interdiction ou a minima d'une pause de précaution pour éviter que l'exploitation ne démarre aux dépens des écosystèmes, ni des générations futures, et de l'autre, des pays ou des entreprises qui y voient une opportunité économique inespérée. En parallèle de ce projet de code minier de l'AIFM, se prépare l'un des plus grands sommets jamais organisé sur l'océan : la troisième conférence des Nations Unies sur l'océan co-organisée par la France et le Costa Rica prévu à Nice au moins de juin. Ce rendez-vous géant qui va réunir scientifiques, associations et leader a pour thème principal : « accélérer l'action et mobiliser tous les acteurs pour conserver et utiliser durablement l'océan ».

Episode 305 As artificial intelligence grows into more and more aspects of our lives, it seems we're just at the beginning of the boom. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being pumped into advancing AI capabilities, making it the best funded area in science. But, just like the dot-com revolution, is it a bubble waiting to burst? In this special episode of the podcast, we explore the growing promise of AI - and also the existential threat it poses. Despite the amount of money going into AI, chatbots are still making glaring mistakes, plagued with hallucinations. All the while students are relying on them to do their homework for them, and others are using them to replace very human tasks, like writing wedding speeches. So we hear from two authors who have been thinking hard about AI and machine learning - and what that means for the future. We also get into the idea of AGI, artificial general intelligence - and its cousin, artificial superintelligence, which may already exist in certain areas. With many researchers concerned about AI overthrowing humanity, is it even worth worrying about? We dig into whether AGI is even possible and who would want to develop it. This discussion has to include some mention of the human and environmental costs of these technologies, too. Energy demands are expected to skyrocket over the next few years - can the planet keep up with the demand? And alongside that, there's a lot of human exploitation going on to help fuel these machines - a little-known fact that has to be tackled. Finally, is superintelligent AI a threat to the existence of humankind - will they want to wipe us out when they get smart enough? Or is the threat more insidious, one where we watch the slow erosion of truth and democracy? Chapters: (02:49) How chatbots and LLMs came to dominate (15:50) Superintelligent AI (18:18) What does $500 billion buy? (19:30) The high energy demand of AI (20:56) The murky ethics of the AI race (25:15) How AI is being thrust upon us (26:48) The existential threat of AI (29:57) Is AI a bubble waiting to burst?

A debate has been heating up on crypto Twitter about Real Economic Value (REV) — a metric meant to measure the value blockchains accrue from user activity. REV includes transaction fees and MEV tips, but excludes issuance — the inflationary rewards paid to validators. Some say it's the clearest window into genuine usage. Others argue it's a flawed and misleading proxy. So we brought the argument to Unchained. Tom Dunleavy, Head of Venture at Varys Capital, says fees are headed to zero, and blockchains shouldn't be valued like companies. Meanwhile, Austin Federa, Co-founder of DoubleZero, believes REV offers a real lens on activity, maturity, and demand. The conversation covers: Whether REV is a meaningful metric (and how to game it) Whether L2 tokens are fundamentally broken What happens to security when fees (and MEV) go to zero If high REV signals product-market fit or just economic noise How to value blockchains, if not with REV Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Did you know that up to the Partition of India in 1947, Kashmiri Muslims lived in conditions that very much resembled serfdom? Exploitation of Kashmiri Muslims was particularly notable during the Dogra Dynasty, which ruled the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir from 1846 to 1947.Since their partition in 1947, India and Pakistan have fought four wars: in 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999. Based on research and information, three of these wars were specifically about the Kashmir region. In this interview, I bring historical perspective to conflicts and crises about Kashmir by asking my guest scholar the following questions: ►Is Jammu and Kashmir different than Kashmir?►Who are Kashmiris?►Why did Persian missionaries visit Kashmir?►What happened to Kashmir after the Mughal Empire?►What does it mean that Kashmir was a princely state?►Did the British introduce a more egalitarian system in Kashmir? If so, why?►Why Kashmir was an autonomous region under British rule and until recently in the Republic of India?►Why is Kashmir called the Indian Administered Kashmir?►How did Kashmir become a part of India?►What was the Kashmir massacre that happened in 1947?►How are Kashmiris 'othered' in India?►What is it about Kashmir that makes it different from all other Indian states?►Is Kashmir an integral part of India?►Would my guest scholar be able to freely talk about Kashmir's history in India?
Digital abuse cases are alarmingly prevalent in Wisconsin. This is evidenced by the fact that the WI ICAC Task Force received 1,003 CyberTips from NCMEC in March 2025 alone. Last year, Detective Chaz Walton with the ECPD (Eau Claire Police Department) Sensitive Crimes division, worked on over 40 internet crime cases and is currently investigating 18 new cases in the Eau Claire area. Chaz, who was also the recipient of this year's ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) Investigator of the Year, shares with us about his work with cases of s*xtortion, child p*rnography and other forms of digital exploitation. He also talks about what he hopes to see happen through the work he is engaged with and encourages parents and caregivers to take a proactive approach with their kids by using free tools and training though ICAC (icactaskforce.org) and by connecting with local law enforcement.
Feelings of burnout and boredom have become prevalent in modern life. To understand the roots of and solutions to these issues, we can turn to both ancient philosophers and contemporary thinkers. Among the latter is Korean-German philosopher Byung-Chul Han, whose thought-provoking analyses are gaining increasing recognition.If you're not yet familiar with Han's philosophy, Steven Knepper, a professor at the Virginia Military Institute and the co-author of a new critical introduction to this modern philosopher's work, will take us on a tour of some of Han's key ideas. In the first part of our conversation, Steven unpacks Han's concept of the “burnout society” and why so many of us feel tired from participating in what he calls “auto-exploitation” and “positive violence.” We then discuss how our burnout society is also a “palliative society” that tries to avoid suffering at all costs and how our obsession with health has turned us into a modern version of Nietzsche's “last man.” We end our discussion with some of Han's ideas for resisting the pitfalls of modernity, including embracing ritual, contemplation, and an openness to the mystery of others.Resources Related to the PodcastByung-Chul Han's books, including The Burnout Society and The Palliative SocietyShop Class as Soulcraft and The World Beyond Your Head by Matthew B.
