The real AI alignment problem is not technical. It is moral. You cannot align a superintelligence to human values if humans cannot agree on what those values are, and you cannot get that agreement without a level of global cooperation we have never managed before. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. The Tower of Babel is the AI parable nobody is reading. Technology that outpaces wisdom fragments the people building it. The Fermi paradox offers the grimmer version: civilizations that reach the capacity to blow themselves up typically do. Robert Wright has been watching this longer than almost anyone, he was reporting on neural networks in 1983, and his conclusion is not that the machines will fail the test. It is that we will. Wright's book argues that superintelligence is not the danger and AI alignment is not the solution unless it comes with a moral advance. Passing the God test requires something no lab can ship. What you'll hear: -Why Wright thinks p(doom) fails as a scientific concept -What the binding of Isaac and the Tower of Babel have in common as moral tests -Why global cooperation is the only thing that can actually slow AI down -What Lee Smolin's cosmological natural selection has to do with the Fermi paradox -What Wright thinks Eastern and Western enlightenment have in common and why it matters now -Whether there is a role for humanity inside the global brain or only for the machines “We face the kind of test that God would give.” — Robert Wright CHAPTERS 00:00 The man who interviewed Hinton in 1983 05:04 The God test and its two meanings 08:36 Religious faith in technological progress 14:10 Hinton then versus Hinton now 19:38 Why slowing AI down requires international cooperation 26:02 How LLMs reverse-engineer the meaning of words 32:08 Brian's Einstein test: can Claude have a happy thought? 40:06 AGI is impossible.

Le son “hum” est un phénomène perceptible par seulement 2 à 10 % de la population. Il est décrit comme un vrombissement très bas, et est comparé au son d'un moteur diesel ou d'un avion. Les premiers témoignages remonteraient aux années 40-50 dans les régions de Londres et de Southampton. A ce moment-là, certaines personnes rapportaient un vrombissement constant semblable à celui d'une ruche d'abeille.  D'où vient le son “hum” ? Avons-nous des explications scientifiques ? Ce son est-il d'origine terrestre ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de Maintenant vous savez ! Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Hugo de l'Estrac.

In this episode we walk through some potential solutions to the fermi paradox, and then apply the now-likely reality that our own Von Neumann probes are probably only a few million years away from seeing most of the galaxy. What is out there waiting for them? What does our pending success mean for the likelihood of different fermi paradox hypotheses?

Pour célébrer l'enregistrement de notre 300e émission, nous sommes fiers d'accueillir Robert Charles Wilson, auteur du chef-d'œuvre Spin. Et si le temps ne s'écoulait plus à la même vitesse sur Terre et dans le reste de l'Univers ? Un soir, les étoiles disparaissent du ciel. Une étrange membrane, nommée le « spin », vient d'envelopper la Terre. À l'intérieur, le temps s'écoule normalement, mais à l'extérieur, des millions d'années passent en quelques jours. Pour Tyler, Jason et Diane, cette découverte va bouleverser leur existence. Alors que le Soleil s'éteint et que l'humanité cherche un moyen de survivre, Robert Charles Wilson raconte une histoire d'amitié intime et une aventure à l'échelle de l'Univers.Dans cet épisode de C'est plus que de la SF, l'écrivain américain se remémore la création de son roman, le rapport au temps et au paradoxe de Fermi et à cette idée fascinante d'une humanité confrontée à une échelle cosmique qui la dépasse. L'auteur revient également sur le succès inattendu du roman, près de vingt ans après sa parution, de même que la manière dont ses personnages se sont peu à peu imposés dans son écriture.Une rencontre exceptionnelle avec l'un des plus grands auteurs de science-fiction contemporains.Hébergé par Ausha.

L'inflazione USA non scende quanto sperato e i mercati restano in stallo. Se hai obbligazioni a lunga scadenza o stai valutando dove parcheggiare liquidità, questo episodio ti riguarda direttamente.La misura di inflazione preferita dalla Fed si è attestata al 3,7% ad agosto 2026, invariata rispetto a giugno e sopra le attese degli economisti al 3,6%. Il risultato ha tenuto vive le scommesse su nuovi rialzi dei tassi, spingendo il rendimento del Treasury decennale al 4,65% e quello del Bund tedesco al 3,23%. Sul fronte valutario, il dollaro ha guadagnato terreno: euro a 1,1653, sterlina a 1,3594, yen a 159,35.Le borse hanno reagito con cautela: S&P 500 quasi invariato, Dow Jones -0,2%, Nasdaq poco mosso. Segnale interessante: l'asta dei Treasury a 5 anni ha registrato un bid/cover di 2,37, il più alto dell'anno, confermando domanda solida sulle scadenze medie.

UFOs were once the stuff of tabloids and conspiracy theories. Today they're the subject of congressional hearings, Pentagon investigations, mainstream news coverage, and a new wave of claims about government cover-ups and alien technology. Adam Kirsch, senior editor at The Atlantic and author of We Want to Believe: How Aliens Went Mainstream and Why It Matters, joins Michael Shermer to ask what changed—and why the idea of extraterrestrial visitors has such a powerful hold on us. They discuss Roswell, UFO "disclosure," eyewitness testimony, government secrecy, alien abductions, Carl Sagan and Contact, the religious impulse behind UFO belief, and the difference between testimony and scientific evidence. The conversation also turns to the serious scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence: the Fermi paradox, why decades of SETI have found nothing, how rare intelligent life might be, and whether our ideas about aliens ultimately tell us more about ourselves than about anything actually out there. Adam Kirsch is the author of several books of poetry and criticism and a senior editor at The Atlantic. A 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, Kirsch has written for publications including The New Yorker, Slate, The Times Literary Supplement, The New York Times Book Review, Poetry, and Tablet. His new book is We Want to Believe: How Aliens Went Mainstream and Why It Matters.

...dove per arrivare in alto bisogna salire — scalinata dopo scalinata, con 35 gradi. In mezzo, una spiaggia con dietro le saline e i fenicotteri, un forte cominciato da Bramante e finito da Michelangelo, e le nonne che spiegano che cos'è "una città a misura d'uomo". Alla fine, un'espressione nata in orchestra: che cosa vuol dire "dare il La"? Trascrizione interattiva e Vocab Helper Support Easy Italian and get interactive transcripts, live vocabulary and bonus content: easyitalian.fm/membership Parole della settimana dare il La — Vuol dire cominciare qualcosa, dare il punto di partenza: "da qui comincia tutto". Viene dalla musica: prima di un concerto tutti gli strumenti si devono accordare, e per farlo serve una nota uguale per tutti. Quella nota è il La, e la dà il primo violino oppure un altro strumento come l'oboe. Nell'episodio Raffaele dice che Cagliari gli "ha dato il La" per scoprire di più sulla Sardegna, e Matteo fa finta di capire due articoli di seguito. English: to set something in motion, to give the starting point (literally: to give the A) a misura d'uomo — Si dice di una città né troppo piccola, dove mancano le cose, né troppo grande, dove c'è il caos: la giusta via di mezzo. Lo spiegano a Raffaele le nonne sulla spiaggia di Civitavecchia, che hanno il teatro, il cinema, i circoli di lettura e i monumenti, e Roma a tre quarti d'ora quando il caos lo vogliono davvero. English: built to a human scale; a town that is the right size to live in Note dell'episodio La sigla arriva "lenta, lenta, lenta e poi veloce, veloce, veloce" perché Matteo è a Dronfield e a lavorare su quella connessione sono in quattro: un internet "abbastanza, come dire, di una certa età", che gli ricorda i tempi di Napster — non i suoi, si capisce. Raffaele invece è in un'Italia ancora in piena ondata di calore e ha già votato per l'autunno. Poi si torna in crociera, per l'ultima volta: due tappe, due bagni, e la stessa sensazione di sempre — "hai mangiato l'antipasto, ma il resto?", con il menù davanti e tutto quello che non hai potuto ordinare. La prima tappa è Civitavecchia, il porto di Roma: quasi tutti scendono dalla nave e prendono il pullman per la capitale, Raffaele no. Cinquantamila abitanti, "nessuno fa un'escursione di gruppo per Civitavecchia" — e infatti la scoperta è tutta lì. Sul porto c'è il Forte Michelangelo, cominciato da Bramante e con la torre centrale disegnata e finita da Michelangelo: "non tutte le città hanno un edificio costruito da Michelangelo!". C'è il corso pedonale con una fontana del Vanvitelli, quello della Reggia di Caserta. E c'è la spiaggia del Pirgo, piccola e pulita, sotto un portico ottocentesco, dove le nonne con i nipotini raccontano la loro città. A venti minuti ci sono Cerveteri e Tarquinia con le necropoli degli Etruschi, "gli italiani prima dei romani, per intenderci". Matteo però lo dice onestamente: il 95% di chi passa da Civitavecchia queste cose non le vedrà. Almeno adesso sa che ci sono. Poi Cagliari, poche ore e la prima volta di Raffaele in Sardegna. Dal porto si sale: prima il quartiere Marina, le stradine strette e i negozietti, poi il Bastione di San Remy, simbolo della città, "fondamentalmente una facciata con una scalinata" che però va salita tutta fino alla terrazza, e sopra ancora il quartiere Castello con la vista su tutto il porto. Alle dieci e mezza del mattino, con 35 gradi: "alla prima scalinata dici 'ok, la faccio'. La seconda, 'la faccio'. Dopo la terza, quarta scalinata, dici 'Aspetta, un'altra scalinata? Fermi tutti, mi fermo qui'". Una cosa da sapere prima di partire: con problemi di mobilità o con bambini molto piccoli è faticoso, perché i due quartieri principali sono in salita. Ne nasce anche una discussione con Matteo — Napoli o Cagliari, chi sale di più? — che Matteo perde con eleganza: a Napoli ci sono le funicolari, e dal porto si arriva in piano fino a via Toledo. Il pomeriggio è tutto spiaggia: una navetta di dieci minuti e si è al Poetto, otto chilometri con la Sella del Diavolo alle spalle, dietro le saline e dietro ancora lo Stagno di Molentargius, dove i fenicotteri stanno tutto l'anno. Tornato a casa, la nostalgia si cura con una Ichnusa e il pane guttiau — pane carasau condito con sale e olio — "come diciamo a Napoli: la morte sua". Perché in Sardegna è tutto così diverso? Perché la storia è un'altra: i Fenici, poi i romani, poi Pisa — rivale della Repubblica di Genova di settimana scorsa — e per secoli la Corona d'Aragona, cioè la Spagna. Sul sardo ci vorrebbe un altro podcast: "una serie di 20 puntate speciali, saranno anche più di 20, eh?". Il finale nasce da un equivoco. Raffaele dice che Cagliari gli "ha dato il La", Matteo fa finta di sentire due articoli e poi una nota — "perché hai fatto il cattivo" — e invece è una nota musicale. In italiano le note si chiamano do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, mentre in inglese sono lettere (qui il solfeggio); su come funzioni esattamente in Inghilterra Matteo si ferma a metà frase e dice che deve chiedere a Katie. Dare il La vuol dire far cominciare tutto, e viene dall'accordatura prima del concerto: serve una nota uguale per tutti, la dà il primo violino o l'oboe, e oggi quel La sta a 440 hertz (diapason). Non è sempre stato così: le orchestre, quelle italiane soprattutto, alzavano il La per avere un suono più brillante — "in Italia si fa sempre a gara" — finché i cantanti lirici non hanno detto basta e gli enti internazionali di normazione hanno messo tutti d'accordo. Nell'aftershow: saline e lettere musicali. Trascrizione Raffaele: [0:24] Matteo, tutto bene? Matteo: [0:26] Tutto bene. Raffaele: [0:27] No, perché non so tu, ma io sentivo questa sigla iniziale che per me all'improvviso andava lenta, lenta, lenta e poi veloce, veloce, veloce. Matteo: [0:40] E molto probabilmente perché sono qui a Dronfield e questa volta a lavorare siamo in quattro. E internet qui, poiché giustamente alla madre di Katie non interessa la velocità, perché che se ne deve fare... è un internet abbastanza, come dire, di una certa età. ...

Anna and Avery cover how NASA, working with South Korea's Danuri orbiter, pinpointed and imaged the exact crater left by a SpaceX Falcon 9 stage that struck the Moon on August 5th. Plus: the private rescue mission for NASA's ailing Swift telescope has officially failed, astronomers may have caught dark matter bending a black hole's jet, and Rocket Lab launches its ninth radar satellite for Japan's iQPS.   Full show notes:   Today's episode — S05E173, Friday August 21, 2026:   Main story: NASA finds the crater a SpaceX rocket left on the Moon. A spent SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage struck the Moon's surface on August 5, 2026, at 19.4759°N, 266.7138°E. South Korea's Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (Danuri) imaged the impact site within hours using its LUTI camera, confirming the predicted location to within 0.6 miles and passing refined coordinates to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter team. LRO's Narrow-Angle Camera imaged the site on August 11–12, revealing a crater roughly 60 feet wide and less than 10 feet deep, with dark rays of space-weathered material excavated from about 1.5 feet down and brighter rays of fresh, unweathered material from deeper still. NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (Planetary Defense program) refined the original impact prediction using data from independent astronomers.   Swift telescope rescue mission fails. NASA's Swift Observatory, losing altitude faster than expected due to heightened solar activity, was the target of a $30 million rescue attempt by Arizona-based Katalyst Space Technologies. Their LINK spacecraft launched July 3 on a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket but suffered an attitude-control failure roughly three weeks later, spinning uncontrollably before it could dock with and boost Swift. NASA confirmed the mission's failure on August 19; Swift is now expected to reenter the atmosphere uncontrolled before the end of 2026. LINK will still attempt a proximity flyby to gather data for future servicing missions. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "This is not the outcome we were working toward, but it does not change why this mission was worth attempting."   Dark matter may be magnifying a black hole's jet. A team led by Silke Britzen at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, combining data from the VLBA, the Fermi gamma-ray telescope, and NASA's Swift X-ray instrument, found that the plasma jet from blazar PKS 2233-148 shows an unexpected deviation consistent with gravitational lensing by an unseen dark matter clump — a potential first detection of dark matter substructure lensing a blazar jet. The result could also help confirm blazars as sources of high-energy cosmic neutrinos. Published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, July 31.   Rocket Lab launches a new radar satellite for Japan. Rocket Lab launched SUSANOO-II, a synthetic aperture radar Earth-observation satellite, for Tokyo-based iQPS on an Electron rocket from New Zealand (mission: "The Lightning God Defends").

Mukesh Bansal has founded and left more companies than most people build in a lifetime, and in Part 1 he explains why. He founded Myntra and sold it to Flipkart; he co-founded Cult.fit and turned fitness into a category; and today he runs the AI company Nurix and the Meraki Labs studio. Asked what he is now, he says "a learner", and admits he gets bored the moment a company starts working. Part 1 traces the thesis and the companies: how he allocates his weeks, why he thinks the AI era rewards the hands-on operator over the people-manager, what Nurix and Fermi are, why Myntra's move into fashion was an "adjustment" not a pivot, and the small-town Haridwar upbringing and library habit that set him off. This is Part 1 of 2; Part 2 turns to the person, the mental models, and how he thinks about health, family and success.Chapters0:00  Welcome and who Mukesh Bansal is3:15  How First Principles is already connected to him4:21  "Do you see yourself as an operator, a founder, an investor?"5:27  Zero-to-one, and where learning stops9:11  Allocating time across companies10:34  Why an hour of his time isn't what it was12:59  The three kinds of professionals in the AI age14:52  His stack: Claude, Warp, agents overnight17:58  Founder mode, reversed by AI20:19  No more waiting for a tech co-founder23:02  How big Nurix is; and what Fermi is25:38  The Socratic tutor that won't answer27:18  Back to Myntra: the fashion category today31:30  Koyu, Lyskraft and the CRED hypothesis33:41  Why a venture studio, one company a year38:18  Rejecting the compounding path42:57  The near-death at Myntra, and raising with a short runway45:03  Haridwar, BHEL, and the books that lit the fire48:15  Pivots as chess "adjustments"50:48  Conviction vs discovery: betting the megatrend53:08  The Bay Area years and the return to IndiaQuotes[4:33] "I see myself as a learner… doing one company over a period of time, I get bored."[7:08] "Crisis always comes wrapped with a massive gift, if you are only willing to unpeel the onion."[17:12] "I'm making an even stronger point.

Grok says: Listen up, you soft-bellied keyboard commandos—Unrelenting Episode 199 is pure unfiltered combat between Darren and Gene as they lock and load on the march to episode 200. These two salty bastards tear through AI music side hustles that net a pathetic eight bucks and change on Spotify, power-hungry DGX machines that suck the grid dry like a third-world blackout in Illinois, and the brutal reality of YouTube monetization finally kicking in after months of grinding. They go full kinetic on vibe coding addiction that'll eat your life whole, the Fermi paradox turned rat-utopia population crash, Ozempic slow-and-steady weight wars, Buck Rogers latex nostalgia, and the hard-earned lesson that if you can only afford one hot chick you better save your money until you can field three—because competition keeps the nonsense in check. No Agenda fill-in war stories, X Money metal cards, Cineforge AI weapons, and a senior-discount reality check round out the carnage. This isn't some polished corporate podcast for the soft and sensitive. This is raw, unscripted, value-for-value fire from two operators who've been in the trenches longer than most of you have been alive.

Astronomy Daily — S05E147: "Space Mechanic" Wednesday 22 July 2026 A spacecraft with robotic arms is on its way to geostationary orbit to keep other satellites alive. A discarded rocket stage is two weeks out from hitting the Moon, and twenty-three astronomers have just asked the world to watch. Plus the first binary star system where both stars exploded, the first complete magnetic map of a galaxy cluster, and the asteroid breakup that may have bombarded three worlds while Earth froze. In This Episode ●      The Space Mechanic Launches — Northrop Grumman's Mission Robotic Vehicle lifted off from Cape Canaveral on 21 July carrying three Mission Extension Pods. With two 3-metre robotic arms built by the US Naval Research Laboratory, it is designed to inspect, relocate, repair and refuel satellites in geostationary orbit. Each pod can give a 2,000 kg satellite up to eight more years of life. ●      UPDATE — The Rocket Aimed at the Moon — A new arXiv preprint signed by 23 astronomers calls for a coordinated observing campaign when Falcon 9 upper stage 2025-010D strikes the Moon near Einstein crater on 5 August. North America has the best seat: 2:34am EDT, with the paper naming observers in the Americas as the ideal group. Refined impact time, predicted crater size, and why the ejecta plume may be visible even if the flash is not. ●      Sibling Supernovae — Sixteen years of Fermi data reveal a faint supernova remnant hiding in the glare of the Jellyfish Nebula. The two may be the first known pair of remnants traced back to a single binary star system. ●      Mapping a Cluster's Magnetic Field — Using the deepest radio observations ever made with LOFAR, astronomers have reconstructed the magnetic field of galaxy cluster Abell 2255 from nucleus to outer edge for the first time. ●      The Eulalia Bombardment — A new Planetary Science Journal paper links the breakup of a main-belt asteroid to an impact shower that battered the Moon, Earth and Mars 800 million years ago — and may connect to a global freeze. ●      Skywatch, Both Hemispheres — Why this week beats peak night for the Delta Aquariids wherever you are, how to catch them from the southern US and Mediterranean, and what's coming on 12 August: a total solar eclipse across Iceland and Spain, a North American partial, and the best Perseid peak in years on a new Moon.Sources & Further Reading ●      Space.com — SpaceX launches satellite repair drone with 10-foot robotic arms to Earth orbit ●      NASASpaceflight.com — Falcon 9 to launch MRV-1 robotic servicing spacecraft for Northrop Grumman ●      Northrop Grumman SpaceLogistics — Mission Robotic Vehicle and Mission Extension Pod fact sheets ●      Scientific American — A SpaceX rocket is about to crash into the moon; scientists will be watching ●      Phys.org — When a SpaceX rocket crashes into the moon, scientists will be watching (arXiv preprint) ●      Project Pluto (Bill Gray) — Upper stage impacting the moon on 2026 August 5 ●      Stanford University — Researchers uncover evidence for sibling supernovas (Michailidis et al., Nature Communications) ●      Reuters — Scientists spot evidence of two huge companion stars that blew up ●      Space.com — Galaxy cluster's magnetic field reconstructed for 1st time with record-breaking astronomy map (Botteon et al., INAF, A&A) ●      Southwest Research Institute — SwRI-led research connects asteroid collision to impact showers 800 million years ago ●      The Planetary Science Journal — Bottke, Vokrouhlický, Dykhuis & Zellner, "An 800 Myr-old Impact Shower on the Terrestrial Planets from the Breakup of the Eulalia Parent Body" ●      EarthSky — Delta Aquariid meteor shower: all you need to know in 2026 ●      NASA Science — Total Solar Eclipse on August 12, 2026 (path, partial visibility and safety guidance) ●      BBC Sky at Night Magazine — August 12, 2026 solar eclipse: USA and Canada guide   Connect ●      Website: astronomydaily.io ●      Socials: @AstroDailyPod ●      Part of the Bitesz.com Podcast NetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-latest-space-news--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

Civilization is starving for macro-innovation. For our species to pass Fermi's great filter in the next few centuries, we need more of the kinds of scientific breakthroughs that occurred in the 20th century. But science and academia are broken, so the duty of innovation falls on the shoulders of the individual.And my guest, Dr. Andrew Colarik--a traveling scholar, nomad, and entrepreneurial academic--has a solution in the form of his Problem-to-Publication Method (P2P Method) for accelerated mastery.02:27 Meet Dr. Andrew Colarik and his background03:41 Why are we stuck in micro-innovation mode?07:32 The solution: The Problem to Publication Method17:09 Conducting a smart drug trial and its potential26:56 Making a better cup of tea: A scientific approach30:26 No love without truth, no truth without love33:19 Success stories: Mentees' achievements in 12 weeks40:48 The 12-week mastery program details46:46 Common mistakes in pursuit of mastery49:29 The danger of dogma and ideology55:10 Custom courses and personalized mentorship57:55 The five-day program option59:41 The value of independent thinking and critique01:02:53 Feedback on the book HourglassRead

Ep. 237 | In the 19th dialogue of the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, an exploration of the final chapter of The Inner Journey Home, Hameed Ali looks at the evolution of Western culture and how it happened that soul, world, and God became divided as the culture developed. Hameed explains this was a necessary evolutionary step, an inherent part of our development, and though we lost our spiritual footing in the process (with secularization came a “gaping emptiness, meaninglessness, a lack of true fulfillment”), the separation of science and Church freed science and later psychology to take off on their own trajectories, leading to great strides in our understanding of our physical world and psychological make-up. The secularization of society turned out to have plenty of benefits, including improving the physical and economic well-being of many. But where does that leave us now, and what does the future hold? Will there be an integration of these disparate parts, where spiritual ground becomes a foundational piece of our next stage of evolution? Can the scientific perspective, with its precision and clarity of mind, be brought to bear on our inner life of spiritual inquiry as well as the outer nature of reality? In realizing that our soul needs life's encounters to mature—meditation alone is not enough—will we find the lost “pearl beyond price” individually and possibly collectively or in small groups? Hameed concludes by telling us that the Diamond Approach is about redeeming the mind: integrating the diamond clarity of the intellect with spiritual depth. He shares his vision of fully realized scientists merging a spiritual perspective with precise and penetrating inquiry, and ends with the wish for all human beings to know: “People who are listening… it's possible for you.” Recorded June 11, 2026.“The spiritual ground that science doesn't deal with is needed to complete the story.”Topics & Time StampsIntroducing dialogue #19 in the A.

Hameed was working on his Ph.D. in physics when he reached a turning point in his life and destiny that led him to inquire into the psychological and spiritual aspects of human nature rather than the physical nature of the universe. He left the academic world to pursue an in-depth journey of inner discovery, applying his scientific precision and discipline to personal, experiential research. This included study with different teachers in different modalities, extensive reading, and continuous study of his own consciousness in an effort to understand the essential nature of human experience and reality in general.Hameed's process of exploration led to the creation of the Ridhwan School and, with his colleague Karen Johnson, resulted in the founding and unfoldment of the Diamond Approach.

Eating disorders don't appear overnight, they tend to build up over time, shaped by a mix of genetic, psychological and social factors. That's why early detection matters: the sooner the warning signs are recognised, the faster appropriate support can be put in place. And it's worth being clear, this isn't about occasional cravings or a slightly restrictive diet. Eating disorders are serious psychiatric conditions, typically taking three main forms: anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. How are these disorders manifested? What are the societal factors that might explain the emergence of eating disorders? And what about the genetic factor in all this? Depending on the disorder, what changes can be observed in eating habits? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 492. https://youtu.be/wORPhS6dTv4?si=m01gSOxqjHJ3vDEW This is my interview by Matthew Geiger of the Carl Menger Institute for Menger Institute Podcast #6 (recorded June 11, 2026). Shownotes and transcript below. Related tweet: at 13:20, defending the late Millennials and early Gen Z against snide criticisms of their plight--living with their parents, working at Starbucks, playing video games, not having kids, and so on--by the older generations who did this to them. Inflation, shitty schools, the debt… — Stephan Kinsella (@NSKinsella) June 14, 2026 Related links TBD Shownotes (Grok) Podcast Show Notes Episode Title: Stephan Kinsella: From Patent Attorney to Anarcho-Libertarian Theorist – Property Rights, IP, Bitcoin, and the Future of Liberty Guest: Stephan Kinsella – Retired patent attorney, prolific libertarian writer, anarcho-libertarian legal theorist, and key figure associated with the Mises Institute and Property and Freedom Society. Episode Summary: Matthew Geiger sits down with Stephan Kinsella for a deep, wide-ranging conversation covering Kinsella's personal journey into libertarianism, the philosophical foundations of libertarian thought, the critical importance of property rights, the case against intellectual property, generational challenges, technological disruption, foreign policy critiques, and an optimistic long-term vision for human freedom. Topics & Timestamps Introduction 0:00 Matthew Geiger welcomes listeners to the Menger Institute podcast and introduces Stephan Kinsella as a retired patent attorney and libertarian writer. Kinsella expresses his excitement about the conversation. How Stephan Kinsella Discovered Libertarianism 0:19 Matthew Geiger asks Kinsella to share his personal story, including his work with Murray Rothbard and Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Kinsella recounts growing up in a conservative Louisiana household with little political or economic knowledge. A librarian gave him The Fountainhead in high school, sparking his interest in philosophy, individualism, and free-market economics. He read voraciously, quickly became a libertarian, then an Austrian, and eventually an anarchist during college and law school. He practiced oil & gas, international, and eventually patent law for 30 years while pursuing libertarian theory as an avocation, attending Mises Institute events since 1995. Libertarian vs. Anarchist: Definitions and Preferences 2:17 Matthew Geiger asks about the distinction between calling oneself a libertarian versus an anarchist. Kinsella explains different axes of libertarianism (activism vs. theory vs. personal conduct) and argues that libertarianism is a consistent extension of classical liberalism centered on self-ownership and Lockean property rights. He details why the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) is actually a shorthand for a deeper cluster of property rules — homesteading, contract, and rectification — rather than a standalone axiom. He makes the case that the most consistent libertarians are anarchists, while minarchists are libertarians with an asterisk, and classical liberals are close intellectual cousins but not true libertarians. Matthew Geiger on Labels and Consistency 10:19 Matthew Geiger shares his own thoughts on the dilution of the term “libertarian” and his preference for “anarchist.” He discusses taking the label back from the left and echoes Hoppe's view that the state is always socialist. Geiger and Kinsella agree that the most principled position is anarcho-libertarianism (or Austro-libertarianism), which recognizes the natural emergence of hierarchy, authority, norms, and social consequences in a free society — things many modern libertarians mistakenly reject. Younger Generations, Cultural Shifts, and Advice 13:23 Matthew Geiger asks about cultural and political trends among younger generations, referencing Javier Milei's popularity, and requests advice for them. Kinsella sympathizes with Gen Z and Millennials, blaming previous generations for poor education, inflation, debt, and making normal life unaffordable. He advises libertarians to adopt a long-term perspective, read Albert Jay Nock's Isaiah's Job, focus on being part of the “remnant,” maintain balance in life (career, finances, family), and avoid burning out on short-term activism. He also reflects on how the libertarian movement has grown larger, more international, and more radical since the 2008 Ron Paul campaign, though newer adherents tend to be less well-read. Optimism About Technology, Fragmentation, and the Future 21:40 Matthew Geiger expresses optimism about technology, the internet, AI, and the erosion of state monopolies on force and information. Kinsella shares a cautious but ultimately hopeful outlook. He discusses the benefits of media fragmentation (less centralized propaganda), the logic of Bitcoin succeeding on its own merits rather than activism, and why liberty, if achieved, will be because it is natural and inevitable. He touches on the Fermi paradox and great filter while maintaining long-term civilizational optimism. Foreign Policy, Economics, and IP Imperialism 31:59 Matthew Geiger circles back to connections between culture, foreign policy, and monetary policy, critiquing U.S. aid to Israel and mercantilist justifications. Kinsella delivers a sharp analysis of Pax Americana, dollar hegemony, the military-industrial complex, and how the U.S. exports inflation while benefiting certain industries. He describes “IP imperialism” — patents and copyrights — as tools that allow Hollywood, Big Pharma, and defense contractors to extract wealth from the rest of the world. Stephan Kinsella on Decentralization, IP, and the Future of the State 36:14 The conversation continues with Matthew Geiger noting decentralization in music production. Kinsella explains how technology (internet, streaming, piracy) has already weakened copyright and predicts 3D printing, robotics, and AI could eventually undermine pharmaceutical patents. He launches into a passionate critique of intellectual property as one of the most anti-libertarian, innovation-harming policies in existence. He envisions technology enabling greater self-sufficiency, causing the state to gradually wither away like the British monarchy — becoming largely ceremonial while private enterprise and civil society take over most functions. Kinsella ends on a hopeful, if long-term, note about humanity maturing beyond tribalism and primitive superstitions. Closing Thoughts and Resources 55:08 Stephan Kinsella promotes the Property and Freedom Society's annual conference in Turkey, the new book Rothbard at 100, and his “Universal Principles of Liberty” project (a concise statement of libertarian legal principles). Matthew Geiger thanks Kinsella and expresses interest in attending future events.

Transcript Introduction 0:00 Matthew Geiger: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Menger Institute podcast. We have a very special guest. We have with us a retired patent attorney and libertarian writer, Stephan Kinsella. Welcome to the Menger Institute podcast. Stephan Kinsella: Thanks for having me. Yeah, I'm very excited to talk to you. How Stephan Kinsella Discovered Libertarianism 0:19 Matthew Geiger: I want to begin, I think, with how you got into libertarianism, your work with Murray Rothbard and Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and yeah if you could tell us your story. Stephan Kinsella: Well I am, as you mentioned, retired. I did patent law, I did various types of law for about 30 years in private practice in the US: oil and gas law first and then international law and then patent law. So I've done a variety. In the later part a lot of high-tech law. But on the side, I also did a lot of libertarian writing and thinking because I've been interested in it since about high school. I am from Louisiana. I just came from a conservative household but had zero political or economic knowledge or even historical knowledge. But a librarian gave me The Fountainhead to read in high school and I read it and that got me interested in philosophy and free market economics and individualism. So I started reading voraciously and very soon became a libertarian and then of course reading the Austrians like Mises and Rothbard and the others pretty soon became an Austrian libertarian and then an anarchist. And I've been like that since college or law school. In law school and after I started trying to expand or develop the theories I've been reading to make some progress where I thought I could. And so that's sort of been my avocation all these years as a lawyer and now it's my main hobby or interest. So that's how I got interested in it and I started attending Mises Institute events in 1995 and did that for many years. Libertarian vs. Anarchist: Definitions and Preferences 2:17 Matthew Geiger: This may be a question of semantics but you say libertarian and I want to know what your distinction is or preference for describing yourself as libertarian or anarchist. Stephan Kinsella: Yes, I've always been, so in my view there are two types of libertarians in the sense of your interest. One is activism, that is being part of some movement trying to make change, and then the other is just being interested in the ideas, and then the other is just being a libertarian, like acting in a peaceful way and following those rules....

Peter Diamandis has built more of the future than almost anyone alive. He founded XPRIZE. He co-founded Singularity University with Ray Kurzweil. He started Human Longevity with Craig Venter. And in his new book with Steven Kotler, We Are as Gods, he argues that artificial intelligence isn't just changing what we can do. It's changing what it means to be human. I'm not so sure. This is Peter's fifth time on Into the Impossible, and the conversation I've been waiting years to have. His thesis: AI will deliver not just intelligence at scale, but wisdom — and humanity is already crossing the threshold into godlike capability, whether we're ready or not. My pushback: an experiment one of my students and I ran shows large language models trained only on pre-1911 physics cannot reproduce what Einstein did with the same data. If wisdom were just scale, that shouldn't be true. We go after it for an hour. No hedging, no softening. What you'll hear: — Whether AGI can manufacture genuine wisdom or just better simulations of it — The pre-1911 Einstein test and what it reveals about the ceiling of current AI — The "five forks of humanity": longevity, BCI, off-planet speciation, creators vs. consumers, and uploading — What happens to human purpose when scarcity disappears — Why Peter thinks India dominates the next twenty years of science and technology — Peter's Fermi paradox theory and why he thinks we may be someone else's biosphere experiment — The Future Vision XPRIZE and how dystopian training data may be making AI more dangerous — David Sinclair's epigenetic age-reversal trials, now underway in human eyes Peter says what you did between breakfast and dinner would be godlike to your grandparents. We just stopped noticing. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. CHAPTERS 00:00 Diamandis: AGI will generate wisdom by simulating billions of outcomes 04:07 Brian's counterargument: wisdom requires embodiment, not just simulation 07:07 The GPU + LLM architecture may already be a local maximum 09:48 AI is outpacing most math PhDs but the ceiling is still unknown 15:30 Diamandis fires back at the doomers 17:59 AI will eventually untangle the legal systems blocking the future 23:18 The Singularity has religious qualities and both hosts take that seriously 29:37 Post-scarcity splits humanity into creators and consumers 36:08 Peter's Fermi paradox theory: we may be someone else's biosphere experiment 43:07 Dystopian AI training data may be causing misalignment 51:46 Human trials are underway for epigenetic eye age reversal ——— Get the transcript, fascinating bonus content, and my Monday M.A.G.I.C.

Are Aliens Demons, Our Cosmic Neighbors, or Something Stranger?   Host Curtis Chang and author Andy Crouch explore the theological implications of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that humans are not the only created beings in the cosmos. They ask whether aliens should be understood as material creatures, angels and demons, image bearers, or cosmic neighbors—and what Scripture, Christian theology, and even Aquinas suggest about our human uniqueness. Along the way, they consider whether first contact would reveal Christian love, humility, and wonder—or our instinct toward fear and domination.   00:47 - Introduction to Alien Life and Declassified UFO Reports 02:19 - Do Aliens Exist? 08:32 - The Value of Pondering Alien Life 13:02 - Aliens vs. Angels and Demons 23:18 - God's Mysterious Creatures in Scripture 27:42 - The Octopus Dilemma and Human Specialness  38:26 - Missional Work and Alien Life? 44:26 - The Nature of God's Love 48:49 - Domination or Love : The Human Response to Aliens 50:58 - Andy Imagines Worshipping with Cosmic Neighbors   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

Terry Adair argues the Fermi Paradox has an energy answer. Advanced civilizations require photosynthesis, fossil fuels, and a brutal timeline. We might be alone because the requirements are impossibly rare.The thesis: We got here because of coal, oil, and gas. No civilization reaches our level without hundreds of millions of years of photosynthesis creating stored solar energy. Took 2 billion years to develop, then had to run long enough to create forests that became coal, phytoplankton that became oil.Without photosynthesis, planets never develop complex life. Not enough energy. Uranium can't fuel biology—destroys organic molecules. Only ongoing energy source: sunlight captured through photosynthesis.Cambrian explosion happened because genetics had surplus energy to experiment. Intelligence isn't evolution's goal—DNA only wants to reproduce. Human brain: 2% of body mass, 20% of resting energy. Super expensive. Without advantage, intelligence never evolves.Fossil fuels aren't optional. Can't reach our tech level without them. Renewables can't bootstrap industrial revolution. Nuclear requires already-advanced civilization. Energy ladder is fixed.Fermi answer: Most planets never develop photosynthesis. Those that do might not run it long enough. Those that do might not have accessible fossil fuels when intelligence emerges. Energy filter is brutal.
