“Knowledge is Power, Francis Bacon”—we’ve all heard it over and over. But what did he mean? And was he right, or did he intentionally leave important things to know out of his thinking? He’s credited with developing the scientific method, and we should be grateful for this part of his legacy, but people have speculated from the start that he was a closet atheist. He was Thomas Hobbes’s mentor, what should we make of that? Join the pugsters for another free wheeling conversation, today with David Innes, author of, Francis Bacon. (We apologize for the poor quality of Chris’s microphone, there were “technical difficulties” as they say in the business.)

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Un saludo amigos y mecenas, en este año en el que celebramos los 400 años del fallecimiento de Francis Bacon iniciamos la lectura de su utopía La Nueva Atlántida, obra que sin embargo nunca concluyó. Embarquémonos en el increíble descubrimiento que unos marineros españoles efectúan en el sur del Pacífico. En este episodio seguimos adentrándonos en la sociedad ideal de Bensalem, tal como la presenta Francis Bacon en La Nueva Atlántida. Veremos, por un lado, el elogio de la castidad, del matrimonio estable y de la fecundidad familiar como fundamentos morales del orden social; y, por otro, la solemne aparición de un padre de la Casa de Salomón, figura que encarna el prestigio supremo del saber, de la ciencia y de la autoridad espiritual en esta comunidad. El fragmento muestra así dos pilares de la utopía baconiana: una vida privada regida por la pureza, la disciplina y la familia, y una vida pública presidida por la sabiduría, el ceremonial y la veneración del conocimiento.

This episode was a particular joy for me. I had the honor to talk with Jacob Howland. We start with LSD—talking about it, that is — go back to the steam engine in ancient Greece to return to the 20th century's nuclear bomb and today's artificial intelligence. What is the interplay of the human condition with ever more potent technology? What constitutes progress, education, and how can we deal with the challenges of our time? Jacob Howland served as Provost and Dean of the Intellectual Foundations Program at the University of Austin from 2022 to 2025, and before that, as McFarlin Professor of Philosophy at the University of Tulsa. He is the author of five books on Plato, Kierkegaard, and the Talmud, and over sixty articles on literature, politics, and the academy for general readers. He will be a Distinguished Visiting Professor in the School of Civic Leadership at the University of Texas during the academic year 2026-27. I was intrigued by a conversation Jacob had with Jordan Peterson talking about the CIA gets its hands on LSD. Jacob described the situation as “This is potent stuff, what can we do with it?” Was this a special case or is this our general approach to innovation? Is innovation thus simply reasoning backwards? What is technology? Since when do we speak of technology? “The marshalling or harnessing of significant social resources for the explicit purpose of advancing and applying science.” Mastering and possession of nature, as Descartes put it, is a core aspect of that. During that process, is the focus put too much on the means, while the ends might get lost? “The means justify the end? […] We can do this, therefore we should do it.” Innovation and the mindset of the time — do people even understand what was just invented? Example: the steam engine in antiquity. How does the world appear to people in antiquity, in the Christian tradition, and later in the modern age? Or in other words: when did transforming the world become an objective? Descartes already understands that: “Desire is implicitly infinite.” This shifts the relationship between man and world. In what way specifically? “When we take away the limits of desire, we open up an infinite and unlimited desire for wealth, an unlimited desire for new devices, conveniences and so forth.” Descartes already expresses that if we become the masters of nature, we might be able to find a way to limit the infirmities of old age and to extend life. What was the role of Francis Bacon in The New Atlantis? What role did he play for science? Contemplating the history of technology and science, it appears we are treating new inventions and innovations like children — even those with extraordinary potential. How could we have survived this attitude? “Technology contains its own fatality.” What changed between the nuclear bomb and the advent of artificial intelligence? “We are going to have to trust AI more and more, but we don't actually know if it is trustworthy.” What can we learn from Greek mythology about these complexities of technology? What is Pandora's box? “We exchange one kind of fatality for another.” Technology can be transgressive and totalising. How? “If the idea is to remove all limits, which would be a way of being like God, then, because we are human beings, we will just descend into chaos. […] You can take human beings out of chaos, but you cannot take the chaos out of human beings.” Is it true that interesting things happen at the edge of chaos, as Stuart Kauffman expressed it? “When you just have order without the vitality that comes from transgression, you have decay, you have fossilised formalism.” Henry Adams stated, about 100 years ago: Can the speed of change become too fast for human societies and thus fundamentally destabilising? “We have a hard time holding two opposing thoughts in our mind.” But this seems to be increasingly important — a fundamental human skill, in fact. How is this important to assess progress? What changed in the attitude towards progress, especially with young people? “Moderns and late moderns (us) believe that we can solve problems.” The way we address complex problems was discussed in other episodes. Noteworthy seems a quotation by Thomas Sowell: “There are no solutions, only trade-offs” Can we actually solve a problem in a complex “wicked” environment? How does this help us to understand how technology works? Why is maintenance at the centre of a complex techno-social society? What does that mean specifically? How does politics work, and why will we never arrive at morally perfect situations? Why is impatience rising and creating unreasonable expectations? Why is humility of huge importance in dealing with complex problems, for instance in science? On the other hand, why is it a bad idea to be afraid of your own shadow? “I am more concerned by what the bomb is doing already to young people,” C. S. Lewis. So, how do we go along, surrounded by radical uncertainty? What does this mean for science? “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts,” Richard Feynman. “You are dealing with a real scientist when that scientist says: here is what we don't know.” In contrast to this, remember Anthony Fauci: “I am Science.” What is the role of generalists versus specialists to resolve or manage some of these issues? What about different perspectives of time? “The emphasis in our lives today is on the present. What is happening right now.” Where is expertise, what is the interplay between specialist knowledge and generalist “connecting tissue”? “I have never let my ignorance interfere with anything I wanted to study.” How is this relevant to living a decent and flourishing human life? But to make it even bolder: Do we have such stagnation in science and society because we have so few generalists? As a closing question: If the mission is to save (American) education, what are we supposed to do, and do we even have a chance still? “Harvard College taught little, and that little, ill. But it left the mind open, supple, and ready to receive knowledge,” Henry Adams. Could we at least get back to this situation again? “How many universities can we say that about? We have not succeeded in that. […] At the end of the day, we are suffering from a crisis of meaning. Any way we give people more meaning is significant.” How can we do that? In company with other people, ideally. There is hope, as Jacob states at the end of the conversation. We are at the start of a reconstruction, as Douglas Murray put it: “We should be the reconstructionists. The deconstructionists knew something about how to take things apart but, like children with bicycles, had no idea how to put them back together. […] We have the choice either to live in the wastelands or to rebuild them.” Other Episodes Episode 148: Künstliche Vernunft?

Richard Young is a photographer who was once known as the “king of the paparazzi”. His portfolio is a who's who of some of the biggest stars in film, music, stage and popular culture from the past fifty years. From gatecrashing Elizabeth Taylor's party for Richard Burton's 50th at the Dorchester to later being invited to photograph her Damehood celebrations. He can count the first photographs of Paul Getty Jr. after his kidnapping as just one of his many scoops. He was born in Hackney to a Jewish family and his father ran a hosiery stall in Berwick Street market for more than sixty years. Richard has dyslexia and after being expelled from school at fourteen, he went to Soho and landed a job in fashionable clothes shop frequented by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, David Hockney and Francis Bacon. A two-year stint in New York followed, working as a studio assistant at Electric Lady Studios, before he returned to London and found himself in a bookshop handed a camera and told to get on with photographing authors. For the past fifty years, he has lived a nocturnal, high octane life of private jets, parties and exclusive events, eventually becoming as much a fixture in the world of celebrity as the people he photographed. Richard lives in London with his wife Susan. His photography gallery is in London and has visitors from around the world. On episode 282, Richard discusses, among other things: Wanting to escape school Learning that trust is currency Crashing Richard Burton's birthday party And how the proceeds from the resulting picture bought him his first house How his journey into photography began with a roll of blank film Adventures in New York and Paris Having a guardian angel Still being sent on jobs at 79 Turning up to Freddie Mercury's party in drag by mistake How he navigated the switch to digital Why he reccommends that young photographers experiment with film Photographing flowers …and the east end of London The importance of saying sorry when necessary His gallery in west London How the business has changed Website | Instagram Become a A Small Voice podcast member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of 200+ previous episodes for £5 per month.

Darold Brown — known to the world as Ferg — grew up watching his father build a business, a brand, and a community from the basements of Harlem.In this episode, musician, and all around artist, Ferg reflects on his upbringing in Harlem, the deep influence of his late father's entrepreneurial spirit, and the world-building ambition that now drives everything he does. From learning to paint on T-shirts in his father's silk-screen operation to navigating the leap from fashion dreams to rap stardom, Ferg traces the through-line of community, creativity, and culture that has always defined him.But this isn't just a conversation about music.Instead, Ferg draws connections between Harlem's competitive spirit and his own creative drive, between the pre-internet era of being outside and the community-centered art practice he is building today — one rooted in the belief that art is, above all, a tool for bringing people together.In this episode Ferg shares:His upbringing as an only child in Harlem and the neighborhood's deeply competitive, flamboyant cultureHis father's legacy — from silk-screening T-shirts in basements to running Ferg Apparel on 145th Street — and the lessons he carries from working alongside himAttending Art and Design High School and the community of creatives it introduced him toThe unexpected leap from aspiring fashion designer to rapper, and learning to trust the flow without having all the answersHis current world-building vision — curating spaces, taste, and community the way the great creative directors and brand architects doArtists he's studying right now, including Ernie Barnes, Kara Walker, Francis Bacon, and BasquiatAnd why, after years of global travel, he's planting himself in New York this summer — because home is where it's atAt its core, this conversation is about legacy — what we inherit, what we build, and how the communities that shape us never really leave us, no matter how far we go.Connect with Folasade aka 'Sade' Ologundudu:  Subscribe to the Light Work newsletter Visit Sade's websiteVisit the Light Work websiteFollow Sade on Instagram  Follow Light Work on InstagramWatch the episodes on YouTubeReview us on Apple Podcasts---------------------------------Follow & Subscribe Subscribe on SubstackFollow Light Work on Instagram Follow Folasade Ologundudu on InstagramYouTube - Subscribe to the Light Work YouTube Channel 

Britain's past politicians were no better—often far worse—than today's MPs.Were Britain's past politicians really more honourable than today's? Or is nostalgia blinding us to just how corrupt, violent, and self-serving many of them actually were?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by historian, author, and Get History founder Debbie Kilroy to rage against one of Britain's most persistent political myths: that historic MPs were somehow morally superior to the modern lot.Drawing on over 400 years of parliamentary history, Debbie dismantles the rose-tinted view of Britain's political past, revealing a parade of bigamists, slave traders, duelists, bribe-takers, fraudsters, and outright psychopaths who once sat comfortably in Parliament.From Norman MacLeod kidnapping his own tenants into slavery, to Lord Cardigan's cruelty, incompetence, and vanity, to the systemic corruption that brought down figures like Francis Bacon and David Lloyd George, this episode exposes how power, privilege, and political protection enabled shocking behaviour—often without consequences.Along the way, Debbie explains:Why we keep romanticising historic politiciansHow corruption adapted rather than disappeared over timeWhy reforms like the 1832 Reform Act only scratched the surfaceHow crowds, riots, and popular protest once held MPs to accountWhy the system itself—not just individuals—remains the problemThis is not a defence of modern politics—but a warning against pretending the past was cleaner, fairer, or more honest. Politicians, Debbie argues, haven't changed. What's changed is what they can get away with.About the Guest: Debbie KilroyDebbie Kilroy is a historian, writer, and the creator of the popular history platform Get History. She specialises in British political history, focusing on the human realities behind power, myth, and reputation.She is the author of:

W nowym odcinku wideokastu „Kultura na weekend” Janusz Wróblewski i reżyser Marcin Borchardt, twórca takich dokumentów jak „Beksińscy. Album wideofoniczny” oraz „Tony Halik. Tu byłem”. Rozmawiamy o tym, jak powstaje film dokumentalny, który potrafi ożywić archiwum filmowe i zamienić je w uniwersalną opowieść o sztuce i wolności. Głównym tematem jest awangarda polska i jej najwybitniejsi przedstawiciele: Franciszka oraz Stefan Themerson, o których Marcin Borchardt nakręcił swój najnowszy film „Moi Themersonowie”. Reżyser analizuje ich nowo odnaleziony film eksperymentalny z lat 30. pt. „Europa”, stawiając ich w jednym rzędzie z takimi postaciami jak Salvador Dalí czy Luis Buñuel, autor przełomowego dzieła sztuki awangardowej „Pies andaluzyjski”. Dowiecie się, dlaczego malarstwo Franciszki Themerson jest dla gościa równie poruszające co prace, które stworzyli Lucian Freud i Francis Bacon, oraz jak wyglądało ich życie po drugiej wojnie światowej w Londynie i Paryżu. To tam prowadzili wydawnictwo Gaberbocchus Press, publikując takie tytuły jak „Król Ubu” czy „Wykład profesora Mmaa”, książka, o której sam Bertrand Russell pisał, że jest równie istotna co „1984” George'a Orwella czy „Nowy wspaniały świat” Aldousa Huxleya. W rozmowie poruszamy także wątki historyczne, takie jak II wojna światowa, modernizm w sztuce oraz emigracja Polaków. Marcin Borchardt zdradza, jak dziś, korzystając z nowych technologii, można na nowo interpretować polski film sprzed dekad. Na koniec pytamy, jakie są jego plany filmowe i dlaczego dokument to dla niego nieustanne odkrywanie nieznanego. Dowiesz się z tego odcinka: – Jak reżyser filmu „Moi Themersonowie” pracuje z archiwalną taśmą, by zamienić stare dokumenty w emocjonujące, nowoczesne kino? – Co sprawiło, że Bertrand Russell zachwycił się polską prozą i porównywał ją do najważniejszych antyutopii Orwella i Huxleya? – Czy polski eksperyment filmowy z lat 30. był bardziej rewolucyjny od zachodnich klasyków? Oś czasu: 00:00 – Najciekawsze fragmenty 00:09:26 – „Europa”: Filmy Themersonów na tle zachodniej awangardy 00:15:40 – Malarstwo Franciszki w zestawieniu z Baconem i Freudem 00:21:12 – Gaberbocchus Press i wydawanie „Króla Ubu” 00:31:00 – Jasia Reichardt: przewodniczka po Themersonach 00:45:50 – Co łączy Beksińskich, Halika i Themersonów?

RESUMEN: El audio de hoy describe la Fiesta de la Familia de Bensalem, una ceremonia pública, solemne y financiada por el Estado que se concede al padre que ha llegado a ver vivos a treinta descendientes. La celebración muestra hasta qué punto aquella sociedad honra la fecundidad, la autoridad familiar, la concordia doméstica y el orden moral: antes de la fiesta, el padre —llamado Tirsán— revisa la situación de toda su familia, resuelve conflictos, ayuda a los necesitados y dicta orientaciones sobre matrimonios y conducta, con apoyo de la autoridad civil. El día de la fiesta se le rinde un homenaje cargado de simbolismo: recibe una carta de privilegio real y un racimo de uvas de oro, signo de la abundancia de su linaje. Después come solo bajo un dosel de hiedra, servido por sus hijos, y finalmente bendice uno por uno a todos sus descendientes, premiando además a los más virtuosos. La escena entera refleja una sociedad que ve en la familia no solo un hecho privado, sino el núcleo sagrado y político del bien común.

Jon: Thank you very much, Ross, it’s good to see you again. Ross Dawson: We’ve known of each other and each other’s work for a very, very long time now from, I suppose, the roots of—yeah, I suppose you can crudely say—the intersection of knowledge and networks. So, as I think many of us who have come from that background, we now are thinking about humans and their relative role to AI. Some people will know of your wirearchy and a lot of your work of the past; others will not. So I’d love to just start off with: what is the concept of wirearchy? And then, how is that morphing or evolving, or are you building on that in how you’re thinking now? We’ll dig in and explore that. Jon: Okay, well, I started paying attention to knowledge work and work in organizations and so on as I changed careers in my early 30s, moving from banking, where I was in management, into management consulting. I ended up working for a large global HR consulting firm that, amongst several others—all the major consulting firms that address organizational issues—have services where they do what’s called job evaluation. What job evaluation does is put a size or a measure or a weight to a job, which then basically places it on the organization chart. I spent quite a few years writing thousands of job descriptions and helping streamline workflows and so on and so forth. So, when the internet came along, I had always been an avid reader, and I suppose a wannabe futurist—a wannabe Ross Dawson, if you will. I was reading all sorts of books back then. Instead of dating, because I was single in my mid-30s, I was spending Friday nights reading books about organizations, like “The Living Company” by Arie de Geus, the Tofflers’ work, “Powershift,” certainly Peter Drucker’s work. There was one day—well, I was reading all of these books, and all of the books were about the coming Information Age. The Information Age had not arrived yet; this was roughly late ’80s, early ’90s. All of a sudden, we hit 1994. I’m sitting in London, and I was just told by my team leader in my consulting firm that I was going to be proposed as one of the next global partners. Three weeks later, I quit my job in the consulting firm because I had begun to feel very uneasy about the work I was doing. If I was made a partner, your job becomes basically selling larger projects to keep the younger consultants employed. I realized that I would be selling methods that I had come to not believe in anymore, and the reason for that is that all of the job evaluation methods sold by all the major consulting companies are all versions of generic Taylorism. They have semantic statements that you pick to figure out a level of a job on a number of different factors. This is one of the things I’ve talked and written quite a bit about in wirearchy: this generic Taylorism is still deeply at the core of most of the work of most organizations. It’s how the work is designed. There has been now, what, 15 or 20 years—how far back does Enterprise 2.0 go?—about collaboration and cooperation and better knowledge management and sharing and transfer of knowledge, and so on and so forth. If you know these semantic statements, which are burned into my brain from this method—the Hay method—you realize that no amount of talking about doing things differently is going to make much difference. It’s not going to change much. And the remuneration—the way people get paid—every single person in every single company, is tied to all of that. It’s tied to your job size, it’s tied to the compensation practice, it’s tied to your performance management, it’s tied to your career plans, if an organization is still doing career planning. Frankly, it has not been touched in 75 years now. Ross Dawson: Used to describe it as a job as a box. Jon: Well, sure, and that’s where that term “think outside the box” comes from. I wrote an article about this at one point in time—oh, I can’t remember the title, so it doesn’t matter—but about the semantic statements essentially becoming semantic straightjackets, because they put limits around what you do. They’re a graded level of permissions, basically, or amounts of influence and authority, and that’s the codified, official organizational chart. So anyway, I was working with this all the time, and I realized if I was going to be made a big-time partner, I’d have to be selling these tools all the time. The internet had come along, so I quit, and I didn’t know what to do after that. I had to move from the UK because I was on a work permit, had to go back to Canada. When I went back to Canada, all the companies I tried to approach to work as an independent consultant didn’t want to engage me, because all of the work I’d been doing in the UK was with really large multinationals, and according to them, too sophisticated for what they were doing in Vancouver. But at the same time, I was still reading all the time—reading Charles Handy’s work, reading Gerard Fairtlough’s work on heterarchy, and so on. I came to believe very strongly that the ongoing sharing of information—which we were starting even 20 years ago to build into constant, incessant flows of information carried via hyperlinks—was going to inevitably begin to affect, I’m going to use the word affect, the traditional top-down power of hierarchy. That comes from the “knowledge is power” by Francis Bacon kind of perspective. Now, that was 25 years ago. What we’ve seen since is, of course, what you know—one umbrella term I could apply to much of what’s going on outside of organizations is the “enshittification” of the web. The same thing applies in a lot of ways, I think, to people doing work, sitting behind screens in organizations. Now, a whole host of things have happened in the past 10 or 15 years: there were armies of developers sitting in office spaces, all of them with their headphones on behind screens coding. There were all sorts of people beginning to understand how to use the internet. There were many failed attempts at effective knowledge management because of the idea that it’s still just good search, find documents, retrieval, without really paying any attention to the connections between people and how they work together, and so on. Ross Dawson: So, the frame there is, I mean, obviously, moving—the wirearchy being an arche of the organization being essentially a network. Obviously, there’s more richness to that as you describe the organization as a network, as opposed to the rigid structures, which are still very much rampant. But fast-forwarding to today, what we’ve overlaid is, whilst the old rigid structure is in place, organizations are effectively a lot more loosened up by Enterprise 2.0 and other types of frames, and essentially more peer communication. Now AI is changing a fundamental role, now being, in many ways, a participant in those workflows, in the creation of value. So where does that take us today, in this humans-plus—essentially wirearchy—pulled into where AI plays a role within those networks? Jon: Well, it’s a fascinating question for which I don’t have an answer. I have some responses, I suppose. The notion of wirearchy came, as you pointed out, out of everybody being wired, everybody being networked—the organization as a network. What I’m really interested in and fascinated about is that, as AI penetrates and spreads throughout the workplace and gets placed into or integrated into workflows, the first thing that happens is that people in the mix are going to have to learn how to use AI and learn why to use AI when they do. Often, it’s very soft at the beginning because it’s reminders, or “did you want to do that,” or “do you want to say that,” and so on. Increasingly, the AI, I think, will have more and more coaching built into it. But what I’m interested in is how, as we learn from the mistakes that are made in integration, and also learn from the successes that are made from integration, is that going to decompose a knowledge worker’s work and eventually capture most of their tacit knowledge and ways of working to reduce the cost of doing that kind of work? Then, on a larger scale, what is the active decomposition of types of work through the influence and integration of AI? How is that going to change the fundamental assumptions about work design? My belief is that the work of Dave Snowden and others with respect to complex adaptive systems is what is going to become—and this is a poorly connected parallel or analogy—but I think something like the Cynefin framework, or a unified approach to complex adaptive systems, will become the Taylorism of the 21st century. In other words, there will come to be forms of patterns and models and actions that help you address certain kinds of conditions, because I think, especially with AI, work and outputs are going to become continuous flows. They are the push and the pull, or the dynamic flow of power and authority that is alluded to in the working definition of wirearchy, the working definition of wirearchy includes knowledge, trust, credibility, and a focus on results, each of which you could write a book about. But as general headings, they are what capture what’s in play, I believe. Ross Dawson: Yeah, no, I think absolutely still relevant today. Now, the point I was going to make was around, in complex adaptive systems, a really central concept is emergence— Jon: Yes. Ross Dawson: —where you are not planning or overlaying or dictating a structure; the structure and the value and how that’s created emerges. And to your point, a lot of the key aspect in that world is, how do you create the conditions for emergence of positive outcomes, as opposed to less positive outcomes? And that’s still, of course, arguably at least as much an art as a science, particularly when you’re looking at complex adaptive systems composed of not just many humans, but also AI, which are stochastic in nature. Jon: Yes, well, it’s a very, very good point. I think it relates to the paper I shared with you a couple of days ago about what the author is calling “weaving the web.” There is an enormous amount of human input and activity, combined with the AI, that doesn’t get measured and is not seen in our currently technocratic, generic Taylorist worldview. That’s not seen, not captured, and it arguably is the kind of human input, work, and knowledge that is going to make this whole new era operate fairly well. That’s this notion of exchanges of value. Once that code is cracked, in terms of how to understand it, surface it, see it, measure it, this is going to lead to more and more of what Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is doing with respect to tokenization. There are some people who say tokenization will become the replacement for money in some cases, or even many cases in another, let’s say, 10 years or so. It’s kind of hard to imagine, but if you come back to the paper that you and I first connected on—Alex Imas’s review of the structural changes to the economy—if you can see the logic of his argument, he says there’s going to be a lot more work, but it’s going to be relational economy work, which ties directly into value exchange and surfacing how that exchange of value operates, say, between two people at work, or a group and a person, or two groups, and so on. This notion of value exchange is going to ground a lot of the conceptual and abstract issues that we talk about when we talk about, you know, why is making effective collaboration so hard? Why is it hard to de-silo an organization? All of those kinds of things are going to, I believe, eventually be washed away in this continuous flow of information. So we have to look for new concepts and new ways to measure what’s being created, the value that’s being created. Ross Dawson: Well, that’s—I mean, this is really interesting. As long as you do not recall, in “Living Networks,” I was actually laying out a quite similar thesis around value creation and network structures, and I did quite a bit of work with Verna Allee on value networks. We ran some workshops together, and we’re essentially—a lot as laid out in the paper you described, and as you’re saying now—a lot of it is saying, how do you look at the non-financial or intangible exchanges of value, which sometimes are apparent and sometimes less apparent? There are all sorts of these structures where, as you say, there is an exchange of value. Sometimes it involves money, oftentimes it doesn’t. To understand the landscape, you do need to understand all of these non-financial structures. But are you suggesting that in this tokenization or other structures, there is a way then of being able to, I suppose, capture some of these non-financial values, which does imply there needs to be some kind of measurement, or at least a mutual agreement or assessment on what that value is? Jon: Yes, the paper that I sent you, and the tool that I’m interested in and think is important, is called VEMapper—Value Exchange Mapper—which has some sophisticated capabilities with respect to AI, mainly by calling the main AI engines into the conversation. There’s a process set out whereby, in a dialogue that’s captured both by recording and by typing, there’s a record of a conversation or a dialogue about value exchange. I’ve carried out a few of them. I recommend trying it, because it’s quite remarkable. You really just tell your story, but it surfaces the tacit knowledge often that you’ve put to work in the creation and exchange of the value. The tool is also quite sophisticated today in terms of its databases and other components. Please forgive me, I’m not a technologist, but it creates a data commons. You, as a participant in a value exchange using this tool, your data, your output, is yours and yours alone. You own it. There’s a notion of data ownership and privacy, and as you carry out more and more of this value exchange, the way it’s captured—and again, I don’t really know about this, but I do know about the structure of the semantic web—it captures triplets: subject, predicate, object, which then makes them readable, makes them discoverable in knowledge graphs and other ways. The tool also has a 3D knowledge graph. If you read that paper, it’s really following the logic, the reasoning, and the innovations that were introduced by Vint Cerf long ago in terms of how knowledge would work, whether there would be things like knowbots, which are agents, and so on. So it stores all of this, and then there’s a process whereby you enter into a dialogue. The AI coach helps you clarify, elaborate, and so on, and then you revisit this process. What this does is it builds and scaffolds trust between people and between groups or whomever is working on a problem. Ross Dawson: Back to a broader frame here. So, what you’re describing—this tool or other tools—has been able to, as you state, capture or make visible value exchange in various guises, with the potential to shift to where we are looking and understanding far beyond the exchanges of financial or overt products and services, and so on. But we’re also relating it to Alex Imas’s thesis that we are moving into a relational economy, where the value—what is scarce—is not AI churning away on reasoning; what is scarce is human relation and judgment. In a whole variety of exchange contexts, including in simple conversations or other knowledge exchange, they’ll be able to apply human expertise to people in situations and organizations. So perhaps, if we just marry those two, what do you see might happen if we move into both a relational economy with the potential to surface more of the nature of how value is exchanged? Jon: Wow, that’s quite a question. I think it’s one of those things where there’s likely to be a very large and durable polarity emerge. I think that the polarity is that there will be some people—probably younger, I’m guessing under 45-ish—that will take to the new environment like ducks to water. They’re already living it in many ways. Their work is much more precarious. They operate in networks that are often networks of support and help, and so on. I think the other end of the polarity is that there will be lots of people who are—I sent you another piece about a week ago called “Artificial Intelligence and Sleeping Humans,” which was about the fact that many of us are, whether we like it or not, not all that much awake when we’re walking around every day, particularly after we’ve been working for 10 or 15 or 20 years, and, you know, kids, busy life, and so on. As AI moves through the workplace, different industries, different natures of work, and brings up issues of relation and so on, I think that relational work will always be AI-aided and supported. I think there’s a significant possibility of something emerging that currently I’m calling AI psychosis. I think that it will disturb a lot of people. They’ll try to build habits or create habits, and they’ll be trained for this with organizations with respect to using AI, but I think it will feel very foreign to them. I think there’s been something—you probably have talked about this before somewhere; I seem to remember reading something from you—but there’s been about 25, 30, 40 years of what I’d call atomization and augmentation in the social fabric. I don’t think that the introduction of AI on a widespread basis throughout work and everything is going to help with that atomization very much. So I think that the longer-term, emergent impacts of AI—I don’t think they’re going to be about productivity and efficiency. They’re going to be up a level or two in terms of the discombobulation and ongoing anxiety that are created. That makes sense? Ross Dawson: Yeah, yes, it does. I think most people can relate to what you’re saying. So, you were just saying before we started the podcast, you’ve, in a way, come back to your work. You’ve been reinvigorated by seeing some interesting shifts in the world. So, what are the next years for you? What do you think we should be thinking about? What should we be focusing on? What should we be creating to enable, as much as possible, all of this to go in a positive direction? Jon: Again, a tough question. It’s so hard because these conditions are all swirling around us. But for me, 10 years—10 years, I’ll be in my early 80s. I don’t like to play golf. I like to swim, so I’ll probably still be swimming. I think we’ll see more and more evidence of the relational economy, with respect to wirearchy and my implication. I’m going, in about a week, to Cambridge to start a creative residency there that involves a number of components. I’ll meet people with the Digital Futures Institute at the University of Bristol, some people at Cambridge. What I’m going to be doing with this creative residency is paying attention to and learning about improvisational facilitation. I think what’s going to happen, what I’m seeing happen everywhere, is shifts in what will be brought to work around the integration of AI. I think the evolution of wirearchy, which implies a different kind of leadership and power, will mean there will just be more and more—how do I want to say it? What I’m noticing is that there’s an enormous amount of talk on LinkedIn and other places where people are wondering about similar things to what we’re talking about. They’re emphasizing the ability to listen, the ability to suspend judgment, the ability to allow the time and the space for emergence—a very, very different mindset than the predict, plan, execute, control, linear types of work. This will be more circular. Many of the elements are already there. We’ve already seen in the last 10 years: develop fast, push versions out fast, fail faster—sort of recursive feedback loops. We’ll all be operating in recursive feedback loops, probably forever more. Ross Dawson: That’s actually very central to my own beliefs. Jon: Yeah, and we just—we have to get used to it. There’s an example I like. It’s not specifically apt for this, but I think you’d probably relate to it. Living in Bondi and in Australia, I presume you’ve gone scuba diving more than once in your life. There’s a kind of dive called a drift dive. Do you know what a drift dive is? Ross Dawson: No. Jon: Okay, I participated in one once, and it was really fascinating. At certain places, there are coral reefs where, I guess because of the topography, the current moves past it quite quickly—more quickly than you can swim against or manage yourself in. So if you go on a drift dive, the dive masters take you out, drop you in somewhere. They know how fast the water is moving, they know how much air you have, they know where you’re going to come up, so they meet you when you come up. But while you’re in the drift dive, what you do is essentially drift along the coral reef, watching the reef vertically because you can’t really swim. I learned about that reading a book a long time ago called “The Horizontal Society” by a Yale Law professor. I can find the title and I’ll email it to you. He described that living in our media-saturated environment—and this was a long time ago—was like living in a drift dive. I think we’re all going to be living in a big drift dive for the next forever—well, certainly for the rest of my life. It’s really interesting to think about things in that way. It relates particularly poignantly to my quitting my job as a management consultant, where I learned all of the method with the generic Taylorism. Because if you go back 20 years ago, the assumption—I know you’ve done a lot of strategic planning with companies and organizations—the assumption was that the next thing, the next time, and we get the strategy right, this thing is going to be stable. This is how it’s going to operate. Ross Dawson: Yes, it’s a common fallacy. Jon: Yeah, exactly. That wasn’t the case 20 years ago, and I started realizing it, and it’s much less the case today than it was 10 years ago. So, you know, I guess it’s like, get used to it. Ross Dawson: Yeah. So where can people go to find out more about your work and what you’re doing, Jon? Jon: At the moment, just LinkedIn. I’m going to put up a new site. I keep—another interesting, fascinating little story. I’ll do it quickly. I was over in England about a month ago, and there’s a guy, a friend of mine, whose claim to fame is, I think he built the first website in the UK in 1994. His name is Felix Velarde, and he’s run a number of agencies and is on the board of directors of a number of digital agencies now, as he’s gotten older. When I visited him a couple days later, I said, “Okay, I want to build a new website. I want to develop a new website, and I have some ideas. But Felix, can you point me to—you know a lot of really talented people—to help me design my next website?” He said—we were on a Zoom like this—he said, “Hang on for a sec.” Started typing into Claude a pretty general statement of, “Give my friend Jon Husband—go scrape his website and blah, blah, blah, and give him an idea of what a good website would look like.” Enter. Wow. Wow, just wow. I started playing with it, and I can do all sorts of interesting things. I can take the wirearchy graphic, I can embed that as a semi-opaque in the back. Anyway, just astonished. I don’t have it up yet, but I will have a new website called wirearchy.com in, I don’t know, about a month or so. I’ll try to put up a couple of my key pieces, but it’s mainly just going to be a landing page. I’ve decided that I don’t have any answers for anything, but I have, you know, 40 years of knowledge about watching organizations morph and change. So I’m going to really just offer half-day and one-day master classes. I respond to all sorts of different situations with different methods, done a lot of facilitation. I think facilitators and coaches are going to be very happy in this new era. Coaching is really interesting. From what I’ve used—Claude, you know, a bit as a personal coach, haven’t tried the others—but I’m really impressed with what they’re going to be able to do, or already can do. Where coaching is going to become critical is at the higher levels, the top of the organization, because all of what we’ve been talking about—sensing, listening, allowing for emergence. The phrase I used to replace “command and control” was “champion and channel”: champion ideas, channel resources. See what happens. Does the node light up? Does the node wither? Does the node connect to other nodes, and so on. This is the world where I think we’re going to be living in, and coaches will be operating at the higher levels to help executives—who have typically been hard-charging and with mindsets they learned 20 or 30 or 40 years ago—helping them adapt, which will be critical. Ross Dawson: Absolutely. There are many people who, for a long time, have been following and applying your insights, Jon, so I’m sure they’ll all be glad to get the update from this podcast and also when your website’s back up. Thank you so much, Jon. Jon: Thank you, Ross. The post Jon Husband on wirearchy, web weaving, the relational economy, and drift diving (AC Ep41) appeared first on Humans + AI.

If you enjoyed this deep dive into history's strangest moments, make sure to hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications for more episodes of The Days.Welcome to a "thrilling" new episode of The Days with your hosts Brian Michael Day and Cory Day. This month, we are diving into "April Absurdities," a countdown of famous and significant figures who met their end in the month of April in some of the weirdest or most tragic ways imaginable.We kick things off with the heartbreaking and ironic death of soul legend Marvin Gaye, who was tragically shot by his father on April 1, 1984—just one day before his 45th birthday. We explore the family conflict and the chilling fact that the weapon used was a gift from Marvin himself.Next, we look at the literary legend Mark Twain, who famously predicted his own departure. Born during the appearance of Halley's Comet in 1835, Twain insisted he would "go out with it" when it returned in 1910. His prediction was eerily accurate, passing away just one day after the comet's closest approach to the sun.The absurdity continues with King Charles VIII of France, a "short king" who met his demise at age 27 after a violent run-in with a low doorway (a lintel) at the Royal Chateau of Amboise. Was it a brain hemorrhage or, as some thought at the time, the work of the devil?.Finally, we discuss Francis Bacon, the "father of empiricism," whose commitment to science may have led to his fatal case of pneumonia in April 1626.Whether it's ironic timing, eerie predictions, or literal architectural hazards, these stories remind us that history is often stranger than fiction. Stick around until the end as we rank these deaths from "avoidable" to "downright spooky."TIMELINE: 00:00 - Introduction to April Absurdities 02:51 - Death #1: The Tragic Irony of Marvin Gaye 07:52 - Death #2: Mark Twain's Comet Prediction 14:58 - Death #3: King Charles VIII and the Low Doorway 20:48 - Death #4: Francis Bacon and the Cost of Science [The Days Grimm Podcast Links]- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDaysGrimm- Our link tree: linktr.ee/Thedaysgrimm- GoFundMe account for The Days Grimm: https://gofund.me/02527e7c [The Days Grimm is brought to you by]Sadness & ADHD (non-medicated)

Un saludo amigos y mecenas, en este año en el que celebramos los 400 años del fallecimiento de Francis Bacon iniciamos la lectura de su utopía La Nueva Atlántida, obra que sin embargo nunca concluyó. Embarquémonos en el increíble descubrimiento que unos marineros españoles efectúan en el sur del Pacífico. RESUMEN: Este fragmento explica el origen del aislamiento político y científico de Bensalem. El gobernador cuenta que, hace unos mil novecientos años, reinó en la isla Salomona, venerado como gran legislador y benefactor del reino. Viendo que la isla era autosuficiente, fértil y próspera, decidió prohibir la entrada libre de extranjeros para evitar la corrupción de las costumbres y preservar el buen orden del país. Sin embargo, esa política no nació del miedo ni de la hostilidad, sino de una combinación de prudencia y humanidad: a los extranjeros desgraciados se los acoge con generosidad, y a quienes desean quedarse se les ofrecen medios para vivir dignamente. La gran excepción a ese cierre exterior es la Casa de Salomón, institución suprema del reino y verdadero centro de su grandeza. Se trata de una orden dedicada al estudio de las obras y criaturas de Dios, es decir, a la investigación de la naturaleza con fines de conocimiento, utilidad y gloria divina. Su misión resume el ideal de Bensalem: no comerciar con riquezas materiales, sino con “la luz”, esto es, con el saber. Por eso, cada doce años salen secretamente dos barcos con miembros de la Casa de Salomón para recoger por el mundo noticias sobre ciencias, artes, invenciones, libros e instrumentos, y traerlos de vuelta a la isla. Así, Bensalem permanece cerrada al contagio moral y político del exterior, pero abierta a todo descubrimiento verdadero, convirtiéndose en una utopía del saber, del orden y de la prudencia.

Demetrius Wilson describes painting as a living exchange—where the canvas responds, shifts, and ultimately becomes something greater than he first imagined. In this episode, abstract painter Demetrius Wilson reflects on his second solo exhibition at Half Gallery and the evolution of a practice rooted in intuition, movement, and material dialogue. Working at the intersection of environment, memory, and abstraction, Wilson explores how color, scale, and gesture can evoke both personal and collective experience.But this conversation goes beyond painting.Here, Demetrius considers what it means to create in a rapidly changing world—tracing how a 1990s upbringing, spiritual inquiry, and a desire to expand visual language all shape his approach to art-making and meaning.In this episode Demetrius shares:His recent exhibition Light in a Dark Mirror and why it represents his strongest body of work to dateThe idea of painting as a “symbiotic” process—where the work responds and evolves in real timeGrowing up on the East Coast in the 1990s and how that era shapes his perspective and processHis approach to color—using heat, temperature, and contrast to evoke emotional intensityHis relationship to spirituality and how religious ideas subtly surface in his recent workKey artistic influences including Ed Clark, Jack Whitten, Mark Bradford, Cecily Brown, Francis Bacon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. How scale shifts perception, from expansive canvases to intimate works on paperAt its core, this conversation is about movement—between control and release, past and present, clarity and ambiguity. Through Demetrius Wilson's reflections, painting emerges as both a physical act and a philosophical inquiry: a space where memory, environment, and emotion collide, and where abstraction becomes a language for navigating a world that is constantly in flux.Connect with Sade:  Subscribe to the Light Work newsletter Visit Sade's websiteVisit the Light Work websiteFollow Sade on Instagram  Follow Light Work on InstagramWatch the episodes on YouTubeReview us on Apple Podcasts---------------------------------Follow & Subscribe Subscribe on SubstackFollow Light Work on Instagram Follow Folasade Ologundudu on InstagramYouTube - Subscribe to the Light Work YouTube Channel 

Vor 400 Jahren ist der Philosoph und Staatsmann Sir Francis Bacon gestorben. Bacon ist auch der erste moderne Denker, der sich mit Idolen und Ideologien beschäftigt hat. Sein drittes wichtiges und wohl berühmtestes Buch ist die utopische Erzählung „Nova Atlantis“. Um dies geht es heute auch in den „Gedanken für den Tag“ von Literaturwissenschaftler Wolfgang Müller-Funk. Gestaltung: Alexandra Mantler – Eine Eigenproduktion des ORF, gesendet in Ö1 am 11.04.2026

fWotD Episode 3255: Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 3 April 2026, is Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion.Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion is a 1944 triptych painted by the Irish-born British artist Francis Bacon. The canvasses are based on the Eumenides—or Furies—of Aeschylus's Oresteia, and depict three writhing anthropomorphic creatures set against a flat burnt orange background. It was executed in oil paint and pastel on Sundeala fibre board and completed within two weeks. The triptych summarises themes explored in Bacon's previous work, including his examination of Picasso's biomorphs and his interpretations of the crucifixion and the Greek Furies. Bacon did not realise his original intention to paint a large crucifixion scene and place the figures at the foot of the cross.The Three Studies are generally considered Bacon's first mature piece; he regarded his works before the triptych as irrelevant, and throughout his life tried to suppress their appearance on the art market. When the painting was first exhibited in 1945 it caused a sensation and established him as one of the foremost post-war painters. Remarking on the cultural significance of Three Studies, the critic John Russell observed in 1971 that "there was painting in England before the Three Studies, and painting after them, and no one ... can confuse the two".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:00 UTC on Friday, 3 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

Un saludo amigos y mecenas, en este año en el que celebramos los 400 años del fallecimiento de Francis Bacon iniciamos la lectura de su utopía La Nueva Atlántida, obra que sin embargo nunca concluyó. Embarquémonos en el increíble descubrimiento que unos marineros españoles efectúan en el sur del Pacífico. RESUMEN: El gobernador responde a la pregunta de los visitantes sobre por qué la isla de Bensalem conoce el resto del mundo mientras permanece desconocida para él. Explica que la isla mantiene leyes de secreto respecto a los extranjeros, aunque revela parte de su historia. Afirma que hace unos tres mil años la navegación mundial era mucho más intensa que en la época actual: fenicios, cartagineses, egipcios y otros pueblos realizaban grandes viajes, y la propia Bensalem participaba activamente en ese comercio marítimo. También describe la antigua grandeza de la Gran Atlántida (América), mencionada por Platón, cuyos reinos —como el de México y el Perú— llegaron a organizar expediciones militares hacia el Mediterráneo. Sin embargo, poco después una gran inundación destruyó la Atlántida, lo que hizo desaparecer gran parte de su civilización y dejó a sus supervivientes en estado primitivo. Este desastre, junto con el declive posterior de la navegación en el resto del mundo, cortó las comunicaciones entre Bensalem y otras naciones. Aunque la isla conserva todavía gran capacidad naval, decidió permanecer aislada y no mantener contacto con el exterior, salvo en casos excepcionales como el de los viajeros que han llegado a sus costas.

Un saludo amigos y mecenas, en este año en el que celebramos los 400 años del fallecimiento de Francis Bacon iniciamos la lectura de su utopía La Nueva Atlántida, obra que sin embargo nunca concluyó. Embarquémonos en el increíble descubrimiento que unos marineros españoles efectúan en el sur del Pacífico. RESUMEN: El texto relata cómo los marineros expresan su profundo agradecimiento al gobernador y sacerdote de la isla de Bensalem por su trato paternal y hospitalario, considerándose salvados milagrosamente tras haber estado al borde de la muerte. El gobernador les explica que la isla, aislada y regida por una ley de secreto, conoce el mundo exterior aunque casi nadie la conoce a ella, y les invita a hacer preguntas. Los visitantes se interesan primero por el origen cristiano del país, y él narra una tradición según la cual, pocos años después de la Ascensión de Cristo, apareció en el mar un pilar luminoso con una cruz; tras un prodigio, un sabio recogió un cofre que contenía la Biblia y una carta del apóstol San Bartolomé, lo que permitió la conversión milagrosa de la isla, incluso con el don de lenguas para que todos entendieran los textos. Más tarde, los marineros manifiestan su asombro por el hecho de que Bensalem conozca las lenguas, libros y asuntos del resto del mundo mientras permanece desconocida para él, lo que consideran casi sobrenatural, y piden al gobernador que les explique este misterio. 🔊 Puedes acceder a este audio bien apoyando el canal Curso de Filosofía y escuchar sin restricciones todos mis audios https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-curso-de-filosofia_sq_f1300020_1.html o bien como usuario de Ivoox plus https://www.ivoox.com/plus (en este caso podrás oír todos los audios exclusivos de cualquier creador de contenido).

RESUMEN: El pasaje relata la acogida organizada y hospitalaria que reciben los marineros tras desembarcar en la isla. El funcionario que ya los había atendido los conduce a la Casa de los Extranjeros, donde primero inspeccionan el lugar y luego trasladan a sus compañeros. Son recibidos con gran cortesía por la población y alojados en un edificio amplio y cómodo, con habitaciones individuales para los principales y numerosas celdas limpias destinadas a enfermería. Se les pide que permanezcan tres días dentro de la casa, no como castigo, sino para descansar y acomodarse, mientras varios servidores atienden todas sus necesidades. Rechazan cualquier pago, pues los funcionarios viven del salario público..... 🔊 Puedes acceder a este audio bien apoyando el canal Curso de Filosofía y escuchar sin restricciones todos mis audios https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-curso-de-filosofia_sq_f1300020_1.html o bien como usuario de Ivoox plus https://www.ivoox.com/plus (en este caso podrás oír todos los audios exclusivos de cualquier creador de contenido).
