Are we becoming a nation mined for our money, data, and attention? Author and legal scholar Tim Wu certainly thinks so. A key architect of President Joe Biden's antitrust policy, Wu joins WSJ's Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins on Bold Names to explain how a handful of tech platforms conquered the economy and why he fears Silicon Valley could become “inefficient, bloated, and bested by foreign competitors,” if the country doesn't rein in monopoly power. Wu shares insights from his new book, “The Age of Extraction,” which maps out a path toward restoring competition and rebuilding an economy that works for everyone.

In this solo episode, Darin Olien explores one of the most overlooked yet revealing health topics: the truth about wisdom teeth. What if removing your wisdom teeth isn't just unnecessary — but harmful? What if this long-standing dental ritual has more to do with profits than prevention, and its removal may even disconnect us from our body's natural energy flow? From evolutionary biology to energetic meridians, Darin unpacks why wisdom teeth might hold more "wisdom" than modern dentistry admits — and how to make truly informed choices for yourself or your kids. What You'll Learn in This Episode [00:00:00] Welcome to SuperLife – Darin introduces the show's mission: real solutions for a healthier, more sovereign life [00:00:32] Sponsor – ENERGYbits Spirulina & Chlorella: why Darin takes them daily for clean cellular fuel [00:01:52] Today's focus – "The wisdom in wisdom teeth": are we pulling them too soon and for the wrong reasons? [00:02:24] Why this topic matters – Darin's personal story of keeping all four wisdom teeth and what that revealed [00:03:31] The cultural norm – How mass extraction became a teenage "rite of passage" [00:04:01] Our ancestors and evolution – Bigger jaws, tougher food, and natural spacing [00:05:00] The breathing connection – How mouth breathing and modern diets may cause jaw constriction [00:06:01] The science gap – Cochrane review shows no strong evidence for routine removal [00:06:46] The silent epidemic – 10 million wisdom teeth removed yearly in the U.S., costing $3 billion [00:07:17] Permanent damage – 11,000 people a year experience nerve injury from unnecessary surgery [00:08:04] When removal is necessary – infection, cysts, tumors, or impaction (and how to know the difference) [00:08:33] The second opinion rule – Why you should always consult a holistic or biological dentist [00:09:11] Questioning authority – Extraction as an automatic response vs. an evidence-based decision [00:11:19] Follow the money – How profit motives keep unnecessary procedures alive [00:12:15] Cultural conditioning – "Just pull them" and how fear has shaped dentistry [00:12:47] Watchful waiting – Why monitoring can be a wise, legitimate option [00:12:58] The energetic layer – How teeth connect to meridians, organs, and your body's electrical system [00:13:46] Ancient knowledge – TCM and Ayurveda understood these energy flows long before modern medicine [00:14:03] The spiritual symbolism – Wisdom teeth as a rite of passage into maturity and integration [00:14:17] Energy interconnection – Removing one element affects the entire energetic system [00:15:05] The Western blind spot – Our medical model ignores the body's bioelectric reality [00:15:39] The real risks – Nerve damage, chronic pain, and post-surgical trauma are far more common than discussed [00:15:57] Economics over evidence – How financial incentives outweigh long-term wellness [00:16:08] The forgotten holistic view – Why true healing means considering biology, energy, and emotion together [00:16:22] What you can do – Get informed, ask questions, and don't rush to extraction [00:16:44] Empowerment checklist – Imaging, second opinions, and trusting your intuition [00:17:02] Keep your power – Don't give your health decisions away to "white coats" or outdated systems [00:17:24] If surgery is unavoidable – Do it consciously: prepare, recover, and restore energetically [00:17:50] Pre/post-surgery support – Rest, meditation, and mineral-rich nutrition [00:18:02] The deeper truth – Wisdom teeth represent the intersection of biology, energy, and consciousness [00:18:23] Final message – Stay informed, stay connected, and embrace the wisdom in your own body Thank You to Our Sponsors EnergyBits: Get 20% off your entire order by going to https://energybits.com/ and using code DARIN at checkout.

When we rush to extract, cut, or suppress without understanding, we lose connection to the deeper wisdom it's offering. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is wait, listen, and trust the design that created you." Bibliography of Referenced Studies Cochrane Review (Systematic Review) Study Title: Surgical removal versus retention for the management of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth Author/Source: Ghaeminia H, et al. Publication: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2020; CD003879 Key Finding: There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the routine removal of asymptomatic impacted wisdom teeth, and no eligible studies reported on the effects of removal on health-related quality of life. Public Health Critique on Prophylactic Extraction Study Title: The Prophylactic Extraction of Third Molars: A Public Health Hazard Author: Jay W. Friedman, DDS, MPH Publication: American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), 2007; 97(9):1554–1559 Key Finding: Approximately two-thirds of extractions may be unnecessary, calling mass extraction a "silent epidemic of iatrogenic injury." M3BE Study Study Title: Prophylactic vs. symptomatic third molar removal: effects on patient postoperative morbidity Key Finding: Older patients are more at risk for complications (such as nerve injury and persistent pain), confirming that removal has real consequences. Clinical Guidelines (AAOMS) Source: American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) Title: Third Molar Surgical Guidelines Key Finding: Identifies Pericoronitis as one of the most common indications for surgical removal. Pathology Studies (Cysts/Tumors) Subject: Odontogenic cysts associated with impacted third molars Key Finding: While rare, cysts can erode jawbone and damage neighboring teeth, making this a valid medical reason for removal. Retrospective Complications Study Study Title: Retrospective Oman study: Complications of Third Molar Extraction Key Finding: Referenced in the context of risks and complications associated with extraction.

Ravi sits down with Tim Wu, author of The Age of Extraction, to unpack how America's biggest tech empires rose—and why they might be due for a breakup. From Teddy Roosevelt's railroad wars to Amazon's pay-to-play marketplace, Wu traces how antitrust battles have shaped innovation for more than a century. He explains how Amazon's tactics—copycat products, buried listings, and punishing sellers—mirror the monopolies of the past, and what the FTC is trying to change. The episode ends on AI, asking whether Big Tech's wild spending is fueling progress—or just building smarter walls around its power. -- Ravi's Analog Writer's Group: https://www.ravimgupta.com/analog Tim Wu's The Age of Extraction -- Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 201-305-0084 Follow Ravi at @RaviMGupta Notes from this episode are also available on Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Read more from Ravi on Substack: https://realravigupta.substack.com Follow The Branch at @thebranchmedia Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-debate/id1591300785 Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xR9pch9DrQDiZfGB5oF0F Listen to Where the Schools Went: https://thebranchmedia.org/show/where-the-schools-went/

Our digital lives are increasingly dominated by a handful of powerful tech platforms. Once promising prosperity and democracy, the internet has instead allowed companies like Google, Amazon and Meta to extract money, data and attention from users on an unparalleled scale. Tim Wu, a former technology advisor to President Biden, argues that the government is failing us while tech monopolies deepen wealth divides and enable authoritarianism. We talk to him about how we can take back power from Big Tech. Wu's new book is “The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity.” Guests: Tim Wu, professor of law, Columbia Law School Learn more about your ad choices.

The Belgian surrealist René Magritte was a smart artist, but could the 20th century futurist really have predicted the end of the Worldwide Web age? Not exactly, of course. But according to That Was The Week publisher, Keith Teare, Magritte's 1929 painting, “The Treachery of Images” (featuring the image of a pipe with the immortal words “Ceci n'est pas une pipe”), is a helpful way of thinking about OpenAI's introduction this week of their new Atlas “browser”. It's not really a browser in the conventional way that we think about web browsers like Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer. And yet AI products like Atlas are about to once again revolutionize how we use the internet. They might even represent the end of the web age with its link architecture and advertising economics. So do we have words for what comes next? The not-a-browser age, perhaps. L'ère sans navigateur, to be exact. * The Browser Is Becoming an Agent, Not a Link Map - For thirty years, browsers like Netscape, Internet Explorer, and Chrome were rendering engines for HTML that displayed blue links to web pages. AI products like ChatGPT's Atlas and Google's AI mode in Chrome are transforming browsers into conversational agents that answer questions, summarize content, and even execute tasks like booking flights—pushing the traditional web “down a level” in the user interface hierarchy.* The Web's Trillion-Dollar Advertising Model Must “Reprice Fast” - The web's business model has been largely advertising-based, built on users clicking links that generate revenue. As AI interfaces replace link-based browsing, this nearly trillion-dollar annual revenue stream faces an existential threat. Publishers like Keith Teare and platforms like Google must figure out how to transition their economics to an AI-driven world where links aren't surfaced by default.* Google Deserves Its Stock Price for “Being Brave in Undermining Its Own Business Model” - While AI threatens to upend Google's AdWords cash cow, the company's stock has surged roughly 50% over the past year. Keith argues Google has earned this bullishness by aggressively investing in AI infrastructure (like Anthropic's $10 billion commitment to Google's TPUs) and integrating AI features into Chrome—even though these moves could cannibalize its core search advertising business.* The “Victim Here Is the Publisher, Not the User” - Keith acknowledges that while the shift to AI agents feels like “an absolute change of paradigm,” it's genuinely better for users who get more intuitive, conversational interfaces. Publishers and content creators are the ones facing disruption, as AI may eliminate their distribution channels without yet providing alternatives for reaching audiences or monetizing content. The challenge is that “most of the narrative that doesn't like it is publisher-centric.”* Tim Wu and Antitrust Regulators Are “Fighting Yesterday's War” - Columbia law professor Tim Wu's new book The Age of Extraction focuses on the monopolistic dangers of Google, Amazon, and Facebook—but Keith argues this framing is already obsolete. The real competitive battlefield is AI, where Google is a “laggard” behind OpenAI and Anthropic. The underlying internet architecture (TCP/IP) remains neutral enough to allow challengers to emerge, making heavy-handed government intervention both unnecessary and potentially innovation-killing, as seen in the over-regulated EU.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Last time the anti-monopoly crusader Tim Wu appeared on the show, he was warning broadly about the road to serfdom. But in his new book, The Age of Extraction, Wu gets much more specific. The real road to serfdom, he warns, runs through Silicon Valley. Forget for a moment about surveillance capitalism, Wu suggests, and imagine that the most existential threat to 21st century freedom and prosperity is the “platform capitalism” of tech behemoths like Google and Amazon. These multi-trillion-dollar companies, he argues, have transformed the very places where we do business—digital marketplaces that once promised democratization—into sophisticated extraction machines. Like the robber barons of the late 19th century, today's tech platforms have concentrated unprecedented wealth and power, creating an economic system that lends itself to the most Hayekian of medieval metaphors. The Silicon Valley business model is turning us into digital serfs, he warns starkly. That's the extractive goal—the ‘Zero to One,' as its most prominent ideologue Peter Thiel would say—of platform capitalism.1. On the core thesis of extraction: Wu defines the economic reality that now dominates our digital economy and explains why “extraction” is the word that best captures our era.“We have entered a world where we tolerate extreme levels of concentrated private power who try in every way they can to extract from weaker entities as much as possible. Much of the economy has become a resource for extraction by economically powerful actors.”2. On tech billionaires as modern sovereigns: Wu describes the mindset that has emerged among Silicon Valley's elite and why their detachment from reality has become dangerous.“They desire to be treated like kings of small countries. They want immunity from ordinary laws. If no one ever says no to you, whether you're an autocrat or a tech billionaire, that starts to become very bad for your character.”3. On Silicon Valley's ideological transformation: Wu traces how the tech industry abandoned its founding principles and embraced the very monopoly power it once claimed to despise.“Silicon Valley once glamorized small inventive firms and brilliant scientists who gave their work to the public. Peter Thiel said every company should aim for monopoly. That's basically where we live today. Everyone wants to be the platform.”4. On the fragility of centralized systems: Wu warns that the concentration of power in a few platforms has made our entire economic system dangerously unstable.“Centralized systems tend to be very fragile. They offer great advantages, but when they crash, they tend to crash hard. Whether it's the economy or web services, I think we're in for a hard crash coming at some point.”5. On history's verdict: Wu issues his starkest warning about what happens if America fails to address concentrated economic power voluntarily.“If we can't find some way to redistribute economic power, I think that history will redistribute it for us. The main and most effective tool of fundamental redistribution across the scope of history has been world wars and major revolutions. In a sense, we're being tested.”Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.

Jason joins the group for a chat on a plethora of topics on this episode. Episode!
In this episode, we conclude the Mishnah Berurah's discussion of the halachos of healing and medical treatment on Shabbos. The focus is on the prohibitions of tzove'a (dyeing), chovel (causing a wound), and related issues such as dressing wounds, extracting blood, and administering enemas. We explore when these actions are biblically or rabbinically prohibited, distinctions between intentional and inevitable outcomes, and when leniencies apply for the sick or in cases of indirect action. Also discussed: the difference between dyeing with blood versus dyeing with colorants, washing wounds, and the halachic principles governing modern parallels such as blood tests and medical procedures performed by non-Jews on Shabbos.
Arc Raiders hinterlässt in der Vorschau einen äußerst positiven Eindruck als Extraction Shooter, der sich durch sein flüssiges Gunplay und das taktisch anspruchsvolle PvEvP-Konzept vom Genre-Einerlei abhebt. Die Atmosphäre ist düster, aber visuell ansprechend, und der Sound trägt maßgeblich zur Spannung der Raids bei. Die PvE-Gefechte gegen die ARC-Maschinen sind fordernd und erzwingen kluges Vorgehen, während die PvP-Begegnungen intensiv und unvorhersehbar sind. Hierdurch können natürlich auch wieder Frustmomente entstehen, aber der Wiederspielfaktor um Dinge verbessern zu wollen ist sehr groß. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die durchdachten Mechaniken wie das clevere Extraktionssystem und die Möglichkeit, anderen Spielern dank gutem Sounddesign auszuweichen. Es scheint, als hätten die Entwickler von Embark Studios ein rundes und fesselndes Erlebnis geschaffen, das schon in den frühen Tests viel Spaß macht. Die Langzeitmotivation und der endgültige Umfang des Endspiels sind momentan noch schwer einzuschätzen, aber das starke Fundament aus Gameplay und Technik stimmt sehr zuversichtlich, dass Arc Raiders ein echter Genre-Hit werden könnte.

Professor Thea Riofrancos, author of the book Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism, delves into the various problems with lithium mining and its implications for the global energy transition. She shares how lithium serves as a lens to explore broader issues of green capitalism, supply chains, and community-level organizing. We also talk about how to balance this with the urgent need to decarbonize transportation and energy sectors, emphasizing lithium's pivotal role in electric vehicles and grid balancing. Riofrancos also explains how the history of extraction in Latin America helps shape the power dynamics in the region and what leaders learned from past efforts to protect natural resources. We explore the environmental and social impacts of mining in Chile, a major provider of copper and lithium, and the political shifts in recent years that are influencing resource governance. We also discuss the role of private governance in the mining sector and talk abou the importance, and often absence, of public regulation and democratic processes in achieving sustainable and equitable resource management. Thea Riofrancos is a political science professor at Providence College, and Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute. Her research has been featured in essays in The New York Times, The Washington Post, N+1, and The Guardian.

We chat with Laleh Khalili — author of Extractive Capitalism: How Commodities and Cronyism Drive the Global Economy — about the different systems, footsoldiers, and circuits of extraction that are essential to capitalism. We take a tour of the great many worlds of extraction: from sand mines and oil fields, to management consultants and chemical engineers, to surveillance systems and genocidal colonialism — all of which are connected together by the imperatives of extraction. Marx said that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction, but we are in a race to see who capitalism will destroy first: itself or all of us. ••• Extractive Capitalism: How Commodities and Cronyism Drive the Global Economy | Laleh Khalili https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/3405-extractive-capitalism Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's new book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

FRANKOPAN7.mp3 - The Age of Turbulence (1870–1920), Resource Extraction, and Global Migration Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The Age of Turbulence (1870–1920) involved rapid technological growth (telegraph, refrigerated shipping) and intense extractive empire building. Empires monetized resources like rubber, transplanted from the Amazon and causing massive deforestation in the Malay Peninsula. Global economic integration meant US grain could be shipped to London more cheaply than Irish grain. While historical focus is often Eurocentric, migration in the Indo-Pacific region (e.g., India to Southeast Asia) exceeded transatlantic migration, creating current geopolitical sensitivities. British infrastructure in India, such as railroads, aimed primarily at administrative efficiency. Furthermore, irrigation projects often failed, causing soil salinity due to rapid water evaporation in high temperatures. Scientific awareness of global warming predated the 1883 Krakatoa eruption.

Thea Riofrancos joined me to discuss her new book, Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism, released through W.W. Norton. The green capitalist energy transition is underway. In what ways does alternative energy—so-called sustainable or green energy—differ from the fossil fuel extraction, distribution, and consumption that has underlain the global capitalist system since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution? Where are these sites of extraction? What critical minerals are being sought? Who stands to benefit and lose? What are the ecological impacts? And finally, how have various iterations of the left and the right embraced or rejected this emerging paradigm? // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/thea-riofrancos // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism (W.W. Norton, 2025) is an in-depth analysis into the growing industry of green technologies and the environmental, social, and political consequences of the mining it requires. In the fight against climate change, lithium's role in reducing emissions by powering green economies is a mixed blessing. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork in Chile, Nevada, and Portugal, Riofrancos explores the environmental and social costs of the global race to expand lithium mining amid supply chain concerns. With haunting descriptions of vulnerable ecosystems, she examines how mining harms landscapes, provokes protest, takes center stage in national politics, and links countries on the peripheries of the world economy to huge corporations, commodity markets, and powerful investors. Riofrancos traces the history of global extraction from colonial conquest, to the 1970s energy crisis, to the still uncertain green future. While an unregulated mining boom could inflict irreversible harm, Riofrancos offers compelling ideas about how to harmonize climate action with social justice. Across the world's extractive frontiers, we encounter the most brutal aspects of capitalism—but also witness inspiring visions for our planetary future.

“The biggest variable with any clear aligner treatment is the patient themselves — not the plastic.” “We must remain the conductors of the orchestra, not the technicians of an algorithm.” “Aligners are not inferior to fixed appliances — but neither are they magic. The truth lies somewhere in between.” “Research often lags years behind reality, so we're not judging today's aligners with today's evidence.” In this episode of Orthodontics in Summary,I'm joined by Guy Deeming, orthodontist, business leader, and Director of Professional Development at the British Orthodontic Society We dive into the reality of clear aligner therapy, discussing the recently published Delphi Consensus Statements and if theyagree with his clinical practice. Guy discusses compliance and where the orthodontist role has changed in the era of algorithms. Guy shares candid insights into alignerlimitations, clinical pearls for complex cases, and his vision for orthodontic education. · 01:12– Are aligners now the go-to appliance for mild to moderate crowding?· 03:22– Delphi consensus statement:What are aligners' limitations?· 05:16– Why do clinical results differ so much from research findings?· 11:08– “no-go” cases for aligners?· 15:28– Extreme cases on social media: genuine progress or misleading?· 17:56– Are orthodontists just technicians of aligner companies' algorithms?· 24:57– Profitability, corporate influence, and the in-house aligner movement.· 28:30– Extraction cases with aligners: realistic or flawed?· 32:52– Distalisation: predictable movement or just tipping?· 36:31– Should orthodontic training programmes include formal aligner training?· 44:50– Direct-to-print aligners: fad or the next revolution?· 48:08– Guy's one piece of advice to orthodontists on approaching aligner therapy.
