Arthur Brooks, an economist and former head of the American Enterprise Institute, believes that there is only one remedy for our political polarization: love. In this 2021 episode, we ask if Brooks is a fool for thinking this — and if perhaps you are his kind of fool? SOURCES:Arthur Brooks, professor of public and nonprofit leadership at Harvard University. RESOURCES:“Vital Statistics on Congress,” by Molly Reynolds and Naomi Maehr (Brookings Institute, 2024).Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence, by Anna Lembke (2021).“Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being,” by Arthur Brooks (The Atlantic, 2020).Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt, by Arthur Brooks (2019).“This 75-Year Harvard Study Found the 1 Secret to Leading a Fulfilling Life,” by Melanie Curtin (Inc., 2017).The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America, by Arthur Brooks (2015).“Grin and Bear It: The Influence of Manipulated Facial Expression on the Stress Response,” by Tara Kraft and Sarah Pressman (Psychological Science, 2012). EXTRAS:“Why Is U.S. Media So Negative?” by Freakonomics Radio (2021).

In this episode, the filial impiety finale of our Sancho September, we zoom in on the second half of Don Quixote, including the boldly blasphemous, bodaciously blood-drenched, bad-hair-day blonde big sister Manager of La Manchaland Don Quixote, who is somehow sad despite having a very cool lance, and ask a question that's a matter of degrees: Why isn't she straight? No I don't mean in her personal preferences, I mean like, you know, orthagonally?

Starting a business can change lives. It can mean freedom, security, and the chance to shape your own future. But let's be honest - if you're from a racially marginalised community, there are still barriers stacked against you that hard work alone won't fix. That's why I'm so glad to be speaking with Professor Monder Ram OBE, director of the Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship at Aston University. Monder has spent decades making sure these stories are heard and acted on, and in this conversation we get into what's really going on, what needs to change, and the opportunities we're missing if we don't take inclusive entrepreneurship seriously.Highlights:(07:15) Why CREME is different from other research centres(15:40) The £75 billion opportunity for the UK(22:10) Three big barriers: money, markets, management(34:00) Business as a progressive force against toxic politics(44:20) Shifting the narrative from deficit to assetFind out more:Aston University CREME institute The Time to Change Report: A Blueprint for Advancing the UK's Ethnic Minority Businesses, commissioned by NatWest Group https://www.aston.ac.uk/research/bss/abs/centres-hubs/creme/time-to-changeTake the Aurora 360 Quiz: How Effective Is Your Company's Wellbeing Strategy?

Let's be honest, for a lot of people in my world, AI feels like a bit of a villain right now. It's been decimating creative industries, disrupting business models, and flooding the internet with content that's at best soulless, and at worst, dangerous. I'm recording this just as the whole Grok-goes-anti-woke mess is playing out, so feelings are certainly mixed.I've got plenty of thoughts about AI, and I'm happy to talk your ear off about them (do send me a DM). But today's guest offers a different perspective. One that's a little closer to the utopian vision we used to have: that tech might actually make our lives easier, and free us up to do more fun, creative, human things.Dr. Tamara Polajnar is a computer scientist with over 25 years of experience in Natural Language Processing. She's the co-founder and CEO of herEthical AI, a deep-tech company developing ethical, explainable AI for the justice sector. She's led AI research across academia, fintech, and public-sector innovation – including at the University of Cambridge – and is now focused on building AI tools that don't just automate processes, but challenge systemic bias and drive real cultural change.Her team is developing tools to help institutions like police forces and family courts identify victim-blaming language, track bias, and hold their systems to account, with a clear emphasis on fairness, transparency, and survivor-centred innovation.In this episode, we talk about how bias shows up in official documents, what it really takes to build ethical technology, and how systems grounded in empathy and real-world constraints might be part of the way forward.If you're suspicious of AI – good, me too. But this conversation shows what it can look like when it's built with care and used to create meaningful accountability.So let's get into it.

Das Luks verkauft den Betrieb seiner Höhenklinik in Montana VS an die Berner Klinik Montana. Später soll die Berner Klinik auch die Gebäude der Höhenklink kaufen können - für 13,5 Millionen Franken. Die Luzerner Gesundheitsdirektorin Michaela Tschuor erachtet diesen Preis als fair.

This June the US Environmental Protection Agency proposed eliminating regulations that limit climate changing gases from power plants, about a quarter of US emissions. Harvard Law Professor Richard Lazarus speaks about the perils of the broader Trump administration effort to weaken federal environmental protections. Also, the ugly truth of plastic is that the world produces over 400 million metric tons each year and recycles less than ten percent of it. But artist Erik Jon Olson is transforming unsightly plastic waste into beautiful, quilted works of art which are popping up in galleries and exhibitions across the United States. He shares the meaning and method behind his whimsical and striking artwork. And in his recent book Just Earth: How a Fairer World Will Save the Planet, Tony Juniper explores how tackling economic inequality within and between countries will go far to solve the climate and biodiversity crises. Tony Juniper has long advised King Charles III on the environment and climate and now chairs Natural England. He discusses the transformation that's urgently needed to allow planet and people to thrive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are Women Still the Fairer Sex?: Combat Dating Handbook For Men by JT Larough Amazon.com Laroughwrites.com Tired of mixed signals, ghosting, and dating chaos? You're not alone—and you're not crazy. The rules of dating have changed. The problem? Most men are still playing by the old playbook—be nice, be supportive, be available—and wondering why it never works. In a world of emotional games, swiping addictions, hookup culture, and disappearing long-term relationships, doing “what you're supposed to do” just doesn't cut it anymore. Are Women Still The Fairer Sex? is a no-BS, boots-on-the-ground combat manual for men trying to navigate the modern dating battlefield without losing their masculinity—or their minds. Whether you're newly single, frustrated by flaking and mixed signals, or just looking for clarity in the chaos, this book gives you the real-world strategies to win the long game. Think of it like the older brother you never had—straight talk, tough love, and hard-earned wisdom from a guy who's been through the trenches. You'll learn: Why the sexiest women are often the least interested in sex (and what that means for long-term intimacy) How hookup culture and hyper-independence shifted female psychology—and why men are losing ground What hypergamy really is (hint: it's not just about money or status) How to recognize emotional manipulation, attention addiction, and red flags before you get invested Why “nice guys” finish last—and how to fix it without becoming a jerk The power of stoicism, emotional self-discipline, and mastering your own frame How to rebuild after breakups, stop simping, and never get blindsided again Why dating abroad may help you—but won't save you unless you're already solid at home This book blends psychology, cultural insight, and modern masculinity to give men a complete game plan—from the first DM to the long-term relationship you actually want. It's not about tricks or pick-up lines. It's about becoming the kind of man who leads, vets, and builds—not the one who waits to be chosen. If you're done being confused, frustrated, or disrespected—and you're ready to take ownership of your dating life—this book is your starting point. Become the man who never begs for her attention—because he commands respect. Learn the rules. Upgrade yourself. Win the long game.

Most AI discussions focus on its risks to democracy – disinformation, surveillance, centralization of power. But what if AI could make governance better?Glen Weyl, political economist at Microsoft Research and founder of RadicalxChange, argues that AI could be used to create more participatory, decentralized, and democratic systems, if we design it right. In this interview, he explores what AI governance could look like if we tried to use it for real pluralism.This interview is a guest lecture in our online course about shaping positive futures with AI.

Laura explores the power of taking risks on talent, especially those early in their careers, sharing her thoughts on hiring for mindset and potential over experience, and how being brave enough to back someone others might overlook has led to some of her proudest moments. Sharing her passion for inclusion Laura calls out the need for courage in challenging poor behaviour, regardless of seniority, and emphasises that inclusion means holding everyone to account. Reflecting on societal changes and decades of experience across sectors, Laura highlights the importance of staying the course, reminding us that we're still a long way from achieving true equity and must keep pushing forward with determination and heart. Laura's wish for HR leaders is simple: be brave. Be brave in taking a stand, making bold decisions, and leading with conviction. Laura reminds us, don't forget to bring joy to the workplace - because even in serious times, joy is what keeps us all going.   This episode is sponsored by Redgrave Today's episode is brought to you by Redgrave, a leading executive search, interim, and leadership advisory firm supporting business owners, investors, and leaders.

A Clare teachers' representative claims the changes to Junior Cert announced by Education Minister Helen McEntee make for a fairer and more equitable grading process. From this June, the top four grading bands will be separated by 15% with the top grade, a distinction, now being awarded at a score of 85% down from the previous 90%. This moves the model back in line with the marks required under the previous letter based grading prior to the reforms which began their rollout in 2017. Kilmihil teacher and TUI rep, Kate Hehir, says the previous threshold to achieve a distinction was far too high.

Tony Juniper and Mya-Rose Craig bring together two powerful perspectives on the interconnectedness of equity and the environment. Tony, an esteemed environmentalist and author, draws on decades of experience advocating for a balance between human needs and ecological preservation. His work demonstrates how fairness – whether in resource distribution, climate justice, or community empowerment – is essential for achieving lasting ecological progress.Mya-Rose Craig, also known as ‘Birdgirl', amplifies the voices of young people and underrepresented communities in the fight against environmental degradation. As a prominent advocate for diversity in nature conservation, she underscores the necessity of inclusive action – ensuring that all communities, especially those most impacted by environmental challenges, are part of the solution.Together, Tony and Mya-Rose offer a compelling vision for how equity can drive environmental change, providing both practical insights and inspirational calls to action for a fairer, greener planet.

In January, the Indian government published a new critical minerals strategy that details how the country aims to bolster supply chains necessary for its green energy transition. While the report underscores the importance of developing domestic supplies of lithium and other transition resources, it also calls for closer international partnerships, particularly with mineral-rich African nations. India has deep ties in Africa, particularly in eastern and southern countries on the continent, but it is a newcomer to the critical resources sector that is largely dominated by Chinese and European companies. Veda Vaidyanathan, an accomplished China-Africa scholar and an associate fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress in New Delhi, joins Eric & Géraud to explain how India's approach to critical resource mining in Africa is going to look very different from what China is doing.

I dive into a simple yet powerful idea that could improve job platforms like Fiverr and Upwork: what if the freelancer who gets hired is paid the average of all submitted quotes? This small shift could reduce underbidding, encourage fair pricing, and promote higher-quality work across the board. I break down how this model benefits freelancers, clients, and the platforms themselves—and why it might be the key to a more sustainable freelance economy.

The adoption of AI in talent acquisition continues to accelerate, promising efficiencies and new possibilities for hiring. However, as AI tools become central to recruiting processes, they bring significant challenges, particularly around bias, compliance, and trust. Without clear oversight, these systems risk entrenching inequalities rather than addressing them. So, how can talent acquisition leaders ensure that AI supports fairer hiring while safeguarding compliance and trust? And what role does auditing play in this critical process? My guest this week is Jeff Pole, Co-founder and CEO of Warden AI, a company specializing in AI auditing for HR and TA Technologies. In our conversation, Jeff shares his insights on the importance of auditing AI systems, the emerging regulatory landscape, and how talent acquisition leaders can better understand and navigate the risks and opportunities of AI-powered hiring. In the interview, we discuss: Is the current pace of innovation in AI set to continue? What are the main risks? Regulation, Legislation, and Ethics Is there a difference between AI influencing a hiring decision and AI making a hiring decision? How AI can be less biased and fairer than humans Holding machines to a higher standard than humans Shining a light on the AI systems used in recruiting and TA technology Continuous testing and monitoring How widespread is the issue, and how much AI bias has actually been found? What should TA leaders be considering when assessing AI solutions What does the future look like? How will AI change talent acquisition in the long term? Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Historically, Western societies were defined by stark divisions between wealth and poverty, with only a slim middle class. Today, the economic landscape has transformed, largely through political and institutional changes that have enabled wealth distribution and middle-class growth. Economist Daniel Waldenström explores this evolution, highlighting that effective social and tax policies are essential to advancing shared prosperity without undermining entrepreneurship. Using rigorous research, Waldenström's work demonstrates how wealth accumulation patterns have shifted since the 1800s, emphasizing the significant role of increased access to education, property ownership, and pensions. His insights advocate for policies that promote wealth creation across all social tiers, ensuring sustainable growth and financial security for future generations. Shermer and Waldenström cover the scientific basis of economics, how personal beliefs shape economic theories, and differences between income and wealth inequality. They delve into historical wealth disparities, factors that have driven middle-class growth, and policies like the Laffer Curve and labor taxation. Waldenström also offers practical advice on fiscal policy and strategies to help poorer nations achieve wealth and stability.

Chicago's late, legendary first African-American mayor, Harold Washington propelled his charisma and grassroots support to topple his city's legendary machine and remake its government — a story brilliantly told in Punch 9 For Harold Washington, which The Citizen screened on the opening night of the Ideas We Should Steal Festival last month.   What can Philadelphia today take away from Washington's political courage in decades past? How to Really Run A City hosts former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter, along with The Citizen's Larry Platt, spoke with filmmaker Joe Winston and New Yorker writer/Macarthur “genius” Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor explored that question in a live taping of the podcast.  “Fairer is harder,” Reed told the audience, “if you want a bold, inclusive form of politics, it's just harder…all of us have got to show up.” Remember to subscribe to the podcast to keep up on all the latest episodes.

Data from the Mars InSight lander points to the presence of liquid water underneath its crust. Also, some national and state parks are changing the way they open up campsite reservations online to make them more accessible to everyone.Scientists Find Strong Evidence For Liquid Water On MarsScientists discovered that there could be oceans' worth of liquid water hidden underneath Mars' surface. More than 3 billion years ago, Mars had lakes, rivers, and maybe even oceans on its surface. It was very different from the arid red planet we know today.But the question remains—when Mars' atmosphere changed, where did all that water go? This discovery could offer up new clues and possibly spur on the search for life on Mars.Ira talks with Maggie Koerth, science writer and editorial lead for Carbon Plan, about this discovery and other science news of the week, including why the WHO declared mpox a global health emergency, the microbiome of your microwave, a green-boned dinosaur named Gnatalie, and how love is in the air for brown tarantulas.Releasing Campsite Reservations In Waves Makes Booking FairerBack in 2022, Science Friday discussed how campsites in state and national parks were virtually impossible to reserve, unless you had a lot of time on your hands and knew exactly when those reservations were going online. Research had shown that the people able to reserve these sites were often wealthy, educated, and white, leaving lots of other people out of the fun of camping.But two years later, the same team that found those results says there's good news: Many state and federal campgrounds have changed how their booking windows work, and as a result, camping has become more equitable.For example, Saddlehorn Campground near Grand Junction, Colorado, was identified as a campground with an inequitable reservation system in a 2022 study. After its publication, campground managers reached out to the study authors to see how they could do better.“They've created what I would call the gold standard in an equitable recreation rationing spectrum for these campsites,” said Dr. Will Rice, assistant professor of outdoor recreation and wildland management at the University of Montana in Missoula.This method is to release campsites in waves: Some become available six months in advance, some two weeks in advance, and some day-of. This allows more flexibility for people to book, and is an easy fix on the part of the campgrounds.Rice joins Ira Flatow to talk about these advancements. Since his first appearance on Science Friday, Rice has testified before Congress about the importance of camping reservation equity, and has helped both federal and state campgrounds change their booking reservation windows.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
