This week I tackle the situation where AI tools are exploding everywhere while ROI and economic productivity is hard to find. I also discuss the “commoditization” of AI “features” and the shift in value to “AI applications,” which is good for all corporate buyers and users. You'll understand how important it is to build a long term strategy, despite all the experiments going on (contact us to see our HR Blueprint). I also discuss the Galileo Everywhere strategy and how we've been expanding Galileo to support employees and leaders, not just HR. Remember to come to Irresistible 2026, the world's leading conference for HR Leaders and Teams. (Here's the top 10 reasons to come!)

Come closer… the shadows grow restless. This week on the Scary Spirits podcast, Greg presses onward in his relentless crusade to review every Hammer Horror film, dragging the 1966 cult nightmare The Witches, starring the chillingly composed Joan Fontaine, out from beneath layers of dust and dread. Your hosts Karen and Greg peer deep into this unsettling piece of classic British horror, unraveling its curses, quiet menace, and creeping atmosphere—where evil whispers instead of screams. As the discussion darkens, so does the glass, with a specially prepared “Voodoo Doll” cocktail fueling the descent into the occult. Expect brooding analysis, shadow‑soaked commentary, and a slow burn of supernatural unease as folklore, fear, and film history entwine. This is Hammer Horror at its most insidious—subtle, sinister, and steeped in doom. Pour carefully, listen closely, and remember… some spirits are better left undisturbed. Voodoo Doll Cocktail • 1/2 oz vodka• 1/2 oz of Chambord Raspberry Liqueur (alt: raspberry liqueur)• orange juice• cranberry juice Instructions: Add vodka and Chambord to a shaker. Add orange juice and cranberry juice until desired taste. Shake and serve with ice in a cocktail glass. Source: cocktailbuilder.com A Brief Synopsis: Gwen Mayfield suffers a mental collapse after a showdown with a witch doctor while performing missionary work in Africa. Once she recuperates, she starts teaching at a private school in England and gets to know Linda, one of her students. Linda’s boyfriend claims that there is a cult that is going to sacrifice her, and Gwen begins to investigate the wild rumors. This leads her to a confrontation with powerful cult leader Stephanie Bax. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: We learn what a mangle is. Dr. Karen tells us about penicillin. Karen gives us a little history on Galileo and his feather and cannonball experiment. The career of Joan Fontaine is discussed. Greg tells us about the Christian holiday Lammastide. Greg also makes a reference to Todd Rundgren. Our rating of the film: This movie was so bad that it took us 4 cocktails to get through it.

Understanding the Frontline Workforce. As our research point out, more than 70% of all US workers (80% Worldwide) work in a frontline (customer facing or operational facing) role. We all have teams in these positions so it's important for business and HR leaders to understand this space. This is the first podcast in a series with Josh Secrest, the head of marketing at Paradox, an innovative AI company that pioneered conversational recruiting from end to end. Not only does Josh S. know a lot about the frontline, he has leadership roles at the National Restaurant Association and National Retail Federation, and also has experience leading talent management at McDonald's and leading culture at Abercrombie. Josh and I will be sharing a series of conversations to help you understand best-practices in high-volume recruiting, frontline workforce management, and the economics and financial business case for automation in this space. This episode features a deep discussion on the critical role of frontline workers in the workforce, exploring how technology, management, and strategic support can transform frontline work environments. It highlights innovative practices and future trends in supporting frontline employees across retail, hospitality, and healthcare sectors.

From the beginning of Galileo's career, well before the publication of the Sidereus Nuncius, his contemporaries took pains to shape his reputation and fame. They were fully aware that their efforts would shape the course of his career; they also knew that they would profit from helping him. With Galileo's Fame: Science, Credibility, and Memory in the Seventeenth Century (U Pittsburgh Press, 2025), Anna-Luna Post offers a welcome new perspective on the volatile dynamic between early modern fame and science in Italy, shifting the focus from the recipient of fame to its brokers. Galileo's contemporaries knew his rise to fame was not a matter of course. Not only were his discoveries highly contested, he also was not the first to observe Jupiter's four largest moons. Yet, of the three men who did so between the summer of 1609 and the winter of 1610, Galileo is the only one who achieved both widespread fame and posthumous glory. Post convincingly argues that fame is, rather than the direct result of merit or extraordinary achievements, shaped through human intervention. Freddy Domínguez is a Historian or early modern European history at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. He is the author of Radicals in Exile (2020), Bob Dylan in the Attic (2022), and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza (2025).

Coming out of the pandemic almost every company started hiring globally, giving rise to the EOR (Employer of Record) market. An EOR enables companies of any size to easily hire, manage, pay, and reward employees in any country, and today more than 40% of all global employers use an EOR. One of the leaders in this market is Oyster, a fast-growing company founded as a B-Corp, dedicated with a mission to make global employment a single, seamless marketplace. The founder of Oyster, Tony Jamous, is a fascinating entrepreneur who has a unique way of describing global employment. In this podcast I interviewed Tony so he can explain some of the strategic issues in building a global company of any size. I think you'll find Oyster a high value solution provider that combines world-class technology with a strong culture of global advice, support, and regulatory compliance to help companies grow. (FYI we are partners with Oyster in Galileo: Oyster's extensive global employment practices database is embedded in Galileo to assist you with many strategic HR policies around the world.)

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8463IL LIBRO DI RAVAGNANI: LIBERTA' A PREZZO DI UN'INFEDELTA' di Andrea Zambrano Abbiamo letto il libro di (don) Alberto Ravagnani La Scelta. Andiamo al cuore della faccenda: è la prova che Dio esiste. Esiste, perché se è riuscito ad avvicinare alla conversione decine di giovani, servendosi di un prete sicuramente innamorato di Cristo, ma privo di strumenti spirituali, intellettuali e teologici di "base", allora vuol dire davvero che supplet Ecclesia, cioè la Chiesa supplisce anche di fronte all'eventuale claudicanza del pastore. Si sa, la Chiesa è andata avanti anche grazie a sacerdoti inadeguati, ma inseriti dentro la cornice giusta. «Fate quello che dicono e non fate quello che fanno». È un format rodato.Per il resto, sulla vicenda umana di Ravagnani e di quello che dice nel libro, anticipato allo sfinimento nei podcast, nelle interviste, nei reels e nei post sui social con un afflato di egocentrismo neanche tanto nascosto, bisogna avere rispetto, ma non serve dire molto di più, se non la sensazione di essere di fronte al déjà-vu di una crisi ecclesiale titanica, ma inavvertita dalle gerarchie ecclesiastiche. Lasciare il sacerdozio è un dramma, però reversibile, ma nelle pagine che scorrono manca decisamente il senso di questo dramma che ignora anche la responsabilità di un consacrato. Possibile che sia una scelta come un'altra, intercambiabile a seconda delle circostanze? Frutto di un cammino troppo veloce per uno che è sacerdote da appena 7 anni? Di sicuro nel libro non affiora.Il ragazzo scrive a flusso di coscienza, con realismo, non ci aspettavamo Honoré de Balzac, ma qualcosa di più del diario di sfogo ordinato dallo psicologo, francamente sì. Spiritualmente impalpabile, teologicamente confuso, umanamente povero, frutto, più che di discernimento, di molte sedute da uno psicologo. Lo si capisce da questa insistenza dominante del bravo bambino che fu Ravagnani, e poi bravo seminarista, bravo prete, in una sequenza di prese di coscienza psicologiche dove lo schema è quello del poveretto che deve sempre rispondere alle aspettative degli altri. E per questo non è libero. Che fuffa. Dov'è la virilità? Il valore? Dov'è la virtù che si coltiva abbandonando l'io bambino delle recriminazioni sul mondo che non cambia, sulla vita che non è come la vorrei io e sul fatto che è sempre colpa degli altri?INCAPACE DI UMILTÀIncapace di umiltà, prende a schiaffi la liturgia con le banalità dei primi ribelli anni '60. Una paccottiglia trita e ritrita sulla Chiesa che deve cambiare. Cieco di fronte all'evidenza che la fede si risveglia oggi, e soprattutto nei giovani, laddove la liturgia è vissuta come duro lavoro e stupore di sacro. Il formalismo stantio che lui le rimprovera è in realtà il formalismo figlio di questi anni di creatività liturgica a cui evidentemente anche lui aspira. Niente di nuovo e niente di più scontato e infruttifero.Non poteva mancare il pippotto in salsa gay friendly, di lui che a Parigi scopre che la Chiesa sbaglia sull'omosessualità, pratica o in tendenza che sia. E lo fa in un tête-à-tête con un gay conosciuto in un bistrot. Polacco, tra l'altro, il quale dice di essere scappato dalla patria perché perseguitato. Evidentemente il primo polacco gay perseguitato dai tempi di nazismo e comunismo. Ma siamo seri?Un piagnisteo continuo di lui che era un bravo bambino e di lui che ha fatto tante cose, con i social, con i giovani e la Chiesa che non lo capisce. E che Fraternità è stata osteggiata. Ma figlio mio: San Francesco è stato osteggiato, San Pio, San Josemaria Escrivà sono stati osteggiati. Cosa ti aspettavi? Che i frutti scendessero dall'albero dei reels così senza fatica? Non lo fanno neanche i fichi selvatici in agosto. Pensavi di farcela tu?E poi lui che cede di fronte alla sessualità e non può e quindi dà la colpa alla Chiesa, che non cambia la morale sessuale. E allora "dagli alla Chiesa" da Galileo fino ad oggi, con la Chiesa nella parte della cattiva che ha sbagliato tutto. Conoscenze storiche da bar, luoghi comuni e cliché triti e ritriti secondo lo schema dell'"io so io e la Chiesa nun capisce un..." insomma avete capito.VOGLIA DI LIBERTÀ ASSOLUTAE che vuole essere libero, ma questo abito non glielo permette. Che noia. Una lagna egocentrica, che sembra piuttosto nascondere fallimenti, giustificare peccati, aprirsi ad una libertà intesa non come adesione alla Verità.Ammette, Ravagnani, di non avere avuto amici veri, tra i confratelli che non lo capivano, e qui sta forse il cuore della vicenda perché si dovrebbe aprire il doloroso capitolo dei preti che se non sono sostenuti da una comunità di consacrati, che custodiscano dubbi e fatiche, si va poco lontano. E il più delle volte si sbanda. Così come stupisce nel racconto che il vescovo non sia mai nominato, come se non si fosse mai interessato a lui. I superiori sempre visti come arcigni, incapaci di capirlo. Possibile?E poi l'inno alla "somatolatria", al suo corpo palestrato, pompato a suon di crunch per farci credere che per evangelizzare siano utili anche gli integratori contro una Chiesa che ha sempre condannato il corpo e perciò deve cambiare.Un disprezzo verso la veste da prete che si è accorto di portare - dice - per coprire un ruolo e che non corrisponde più con la sua persona finalmente libera. Un'offesa a quei santi che per rimanere fedeli a quella veste perché rivestimento visibile di Cristo si sono fatti ammazzare. Come Rolando Rivi, il cui libro gli avevo regalato quando lo ospitai in casa mia e che credo non abbia mai letto. Ci speravo, perché avrebbe avuto un esempio davanti agli occhi di martirio. In fondo viene da chiedersi se più che un problema di vocazione, non sia un problema di fede. E come si possa alimentare se persino la preghiera è vista come qualcosa di fastidioso, noioso, ripetitivo.E i giovani? I tanto strombazzati giovani che lui ha seguito, che ha avvicinato alla fede? A loro non sono riservate risposte, eppure sono loro oggi che, seguendo le sue gesta alle prese con le interviste sulla Stampa, Repubblica, sui grandi media che ora lo coccolano e domani lo scaricheranno, si interrogano con sconcerto: ma allora a che cosa è servito? E che senso ha rimanere fedeli ad una scelta se poi questa fedeltà viene infranta come il vetro di un IPhone?Un consiglio e un augurio, sarà anche paternalistico, ma fa lo stesso: guarda a Pietro, che tradì, non pubblicò libri sulla sua infedeltà, ma si mise testa china al servizio di quella chiamata. Tuffandosi nella misericordia di Dio e dando la sua vita.
To the eye alone, the Pleiades cluster looks like a small dipper of about seven stars – a few more if you have nice, dark skies. But when Galileo Galilei looked at it with his first small telescope, he saw a few dozen stars. It was one of the first indications that there’s far more to the universe than meets the eye. You can share Galileo’s view with a basic pair of binoculars – no telescope required. They’re especially helpful tonight because of the Moon. It passes through the outskirts of the cluster, so it points the way. But the moonlight makes it tougher to see the stars. The Pleiades is a family of perhaps a couple of thousand stars. The stars were all born together, from the same cloud of gas and dust. That makes the cluster a good laboratory. Since the stars all started with the same mix of elements, any differences among them are the result of their evolution – changes within the stars themselves. That helps astronomers understand how all stars change over the eons. The cluster probably is a little more than a hundred million years old. That means it’s completed only about half an orbit around the center of the galaxy. During that time, it’s lost many of its original stars. And before it can complete one full orbit from its current location, it’s likely to evaporate – pulled apart by the gravitational tug of the rest of the galaxy. Tomorrow: a growing “danger zone.” Script by Damond Benningfield
Newt talks with John Hart, CEO of Open the Books. Open the Books is a non-profit that operates the largest private database of public spending, encompassing 10 billion data points, including federal salaries, state checkbooks, and municipal spending. Their mission is to make this information accessible to journalists, researchers, activists, public officials, and taxpayers in near real-time. They have partnered with Citizen Portal to integrate artificial intelligence, allowing taxpayers to compare political statements with actual spending. This collaboration aims to prevent fraud by using AI for pattern recognition and prediction, similar to how Galileo's telescope revolutionized astronomy. The initiative, called Aqueduct, seeks to enhance citizen engagement by providing clear insights into government spending. The collaboration is expected to have a significant impact on government transparency both in the U.S. and globally.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The supreme being of classical theism is unlimited in power, knowledge, and goodness – a being distinct from the world, who creates it out of nothing and governs it from beyond. On this picture, we are not identical with God. God's consciousness is not our consciousness – and our identity is not theirs. That picture has long been challenged by schools of Hindu philosophy and, more recently, by Western philosophies of religion that reject traditional conceptions of God. In response to the problem of evil, some philosophers now argue that if there is a creator, then that creator must be limited in power. Advaita's challenge is more radical. It doesn't just revise the traditional conception of God – it dissolves it. Where classical theism draws a sharp distinction between God and the world, Advaita says that reality is non-dual. The divine is not something separate from us or from the universe, but the underlying reality that appears as both. To explore these competing visions of the supreme being, reality, and our place within it, I'm joined by three guests. Returning to The Panpsycast for the fifth time is Philip Goff, Professor of Philosophy at Durham University. As listeners will remember, Philip is the author of several brilliant books – including Galileo's Error and, more recently, Why? The Purpose of the Universe. David Godman is a leading author, best known for his work on the Hindu sage, Sri Ramana Maharshi. And last but not least, Miri Albahari is Senior Lecturer at The University of Western Australia – where her work explores the metaphysics and epistemology of Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. What is gained – and what is lost – when God is no longer unlimited, or is no longer separate from the world? Can these alternatives still ground mind, meaning, and morality? And by what means could we come to know such a reality – and decide between these rival conceptions of God?

This week I explain some of the very cool things going on in AI-Fueled Recruiting (hot space), and also discuss how to start integrating all your talent acquisition tools. I also explain AMS One, the Workday Agent System of Record (ASOR), and why and how all these amazing AI agents are going to enable you to really rethink the operating model for talent acquisition. This is a trillion dollar space and we all deal with it, and it's also the area of HR where AI is the most mature. And as I explain, every innovation that takes place in talent acquisition has an impact on tools for internal HR, job mobility, career development, and even learning. In fact TA and L&D really are going to get locked at the hip going forward. We will be launching our massive new research study on TA at Irresistible 2026, our flagship HR leadership conference in the world. It's June 8-10 at the beautiful USC Campus in Los Angeles, and I promise you that you'll see some amazing things there (including a tour of one of USC's brand new research and arts centers). Also come see us at Unleash 2026 in Vegas where we'll be doing workshops for you on Galileo, highlighting the newest release – these hands-on workshops give you 90 minutes to see dozens of amazing AI use-cases and also teach you how to use Galileo as your copilot, teacher, and consultant in all areas of HR. (And listen to my keynote explaining the way AI has already started to change everything about HR.) Like this podcast? Rate us on Spotify or Apple or YouTube.

This week Brian Mix joins Barry, Dave, and Tod to formally announce the Kickstarter effort to provide a home for the Shuttlecraft Galileo at the Official Star Trek Set Tour in Ticonderoga, New York. The Galileo has endured a long, and often perilous, journey in the decades since The Original Series ended its three year run. There is no one better equipped to tell that story than Adam Schneider, who purchased the largest surviving original Star Trek series prop in 2012 and painstakingly restored it to its former glory. Adam's personal fleet of Star Trek production models includes some of the most iconic starships from the series … oh, and he has the Genesis Device. It's an interview Trek fans won't want to miss.

Prof. Philip Goff is a British philosopher, author, and professor at Durham University whose research focuses on philosophy of mind and consciousness. He was an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Central European University and the Department of Philosophy, University of Birmingham. Philip is also the author of Galileo's Error: A New Science of Consciousness, Consciousness and Fundamental Reality, and his most recent, Why? The Purpose of the Universe, is the touchstone for this episode. We're covering some lofty territory today: from the hard science of physics and cosmology to the deep waters of philosophy, religion, and the question of God. Some highlights from the episode: 06:16 Framing the big questions: purpose, consciousness, and the value hypothesis 10:00 Fine-tuning theory: dark energy and the "casino" intuition 12:54 Meaning: Frankl, suffering, and why questions matter 16:52 Agency and teleology 24:18 Mystics and mystical experience across traditions 28:04 Consciousness and panpsychism 28:52 The 'Why' book tension: cosmic purpose, hope, and meaning 30:14 Returning to religion: becoming a 'heretical Christian' 31:32 Meaning as beauty, gratitude, and 'pronoia' 34:06 Scientism and other ways of knowing 37:47 Religion as social technology: community over doctrine 39:23 Orthodox mysticism + Anglican flexibility 41:19 Prayer: orientation vs. supplication 45:08 Meditation: creative energy without certainty 51:04 Reflections on affordances and enacted meaning Quick note: at the very end of this episode I tacked on a short addendum. I share how this conversation actually landed for me. Enjoy!

After many weeks of work with corporate HR leaders, technology companies, and implementation teams I'm realizing the word that describes AI is “confusion.” Too much going on, too many unanswered questions, and no clarity about what to do. And many of you have been asked (or told) to lead the “AI Transformation” (which is the wrong phrase, as I explain) to reduce cost. Well I hope today's podcast gives you some clarity. Obviously the space is changing quickly, but there is a clear strategy emerging. I discuss the technology market, vendor strategies, and most important of all, how you as a business leader can leverage AI without going down dead ends. I hope this gives you clarity, and I urge you to read our 2026 Imperatives for Enterprise AI for more. Topics covered: Why AI adoption isn't a transformation — it's a continuous learning process How to design an architecture that avoids vendor chaos and data silos The real ROI of AI: rethinking workflows and job structures, not just automating tasks Strategies for navigating a confusing vendor landscape and building your own solutions How to build a culture of trust and change, and empower employees What to tell employees so they'll lean in to change The importance of speed, experimentation, and trusting the data over perfection. If you're in the middle of your AI strategy, please contact us. Our Systemic HR AI Blueprint will show you the way, and Galileo will help you with vendor analysis, process design, job redesign, and of course the training you need to enable your organization.

By Paul Sloane, who is the author of The Art of Unexpected Solutions: Using Lateral Thinking to Find Breakthroughs, published by Kogan Page In a cathedral in Pisa, a young Galileo Galilei observed a swinging incense chandelier. While others saw a mundane ritual, Galileo saw a variable. Using his pulse to time the oscillations, he saw that a pendulum's period remains constant regardless of its arc. He deduced that the period of a pendulum was constant and not dependent on the weight of the pendulum or the initial displacement. It was dependent only on the length of the rope. Building a Question-Rich Corporate Culture, Unexpected Solutions In 1943 naval engineer Richard James was working on the problem of how to stabilize sensitive ship equipment at sea. He was using coiled springs and accidentally knocked one off a shelf. He was fascinated to see that it seemed to walk down and come to rest in a standing position. Where others might have seen a nuisance, James saw a kinetic possibility, leading to the invention of the Slinky. These stories are often relegated to the realm of "happy accidents." In reality, they are the results of a specific cognitive discipline: curiosity. In the modern corporate landscape, curiosity is frequently treated as a secondary trait, a "nice-to-have" eclipsed by the "must-haves" of efficiency, specialized expertise, and immediate ROI. However, this prioritization is wrong. Curiosity is the primary engine of innovation and the most effective hedge against institutional stagnation. To remain competitive, leaders should switch from a culture of "knowing" to a culture of "inquiring." The Institutional Suppression of Inquiry From early education through professional development, we are conditioned to value the definitive answer over the provocative question. Success is often measured by the speed at which we can provide a solution, rather than the depth at which we understand the problem. In many organizations, this leads to a "stick to what you know" mantra. When an organization prioritizes conformity over curiosity, it inadvertently creates blind spots. The Four Pillars of Individual Curiosity Curiosity is not an innate gift but a professional muscle that requires deliberate conditioning. To lead a curious organization, individuals shoould adopt four specific behaviors: 1. Challenging the "Obvious" Assumptions are the silent killers of innovation. They act as mental shortcuts that prevent us from seeing new paths. Consider George de Mestral, the inventor of Velcro. He could have viewed the burrs stuck to his dog's fur as a minor irritation. Instead, his curiosity led him to study the mechanics of their adhesion. Rigorously audit your "legacy" processes. Ask: "If we were starting this company today, would we still do it this way?" 1. Destigmatizing Experimentation Innovation is a non-linear process characterized by trial and error. Thomas Edison famously viewed his 10,000 failed attempts at the lightbulb not as setbacks, but as the successful elimination of non-viable options. Reframe "failure" as "data collection." If an experiment doesn't yield the intended result but provides a new insight, it is a net gain for the company. 1. Intellectual Humility The greatest barrier to learning is the illusion of knowledge. Intellectual humility involves acknowledging the limits of your expertise and remaining open to insights from any level of the hierarchy. Adopt a beginner's mindset. Approach high-level strategic meetings with the intent to learn something new from the junior staff in the room rather than just delivering directives. 1. Strategic Divergence Curiosity thrives on variety. When we only read industry journals and speak to immediate colleagues, our thinking becomes derivative. Deliberately seek out "intellectual friction." Read outside your field, attend conferences in unrelated industries, and engage with people whose perspectives challenge your own. Engineering an Organizational Ecosystem Individua...

Gabriel Rufián ha anunciado un encuentro, la semana que viene, en la sala Galileo de Madrid, con el político de Más Madrid Emilio Delgado. Podría ser un encuentro más, pero llevamos meses de rumores y, en los últimos días, de noticias concretas: Gabriel Rufián baraja plantear una candidatura amplia, un gran frente de izquierdas para las elecciones generales. En esa coalición electoral estarían, precisamente… todos los partidos que ya han dicho que no: Sumar, Izquierda Unida, Podemos, BNG, Bildu… Incluso Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, su propio partido, ha dicho que no. Diríamos que la confluencia de Rufián nace muerta, pero la política española está llena de candidaturas que nacieron… a pesar de lo que dijeron sus partidos. Hacemos un repaso a la trayectoria de Gabriel Rufián como portavoz de ERC en el Congreso de los diputados y analizamos las posibilidades que tiene este proyecto de seguir adelante con los periodistas de elDiario.es Alberto Ortiz y Arturo Puente. *** Envíanos una nota de voz por Whatsapp contándonos alguna historia que conozcas o algún sonido que tengas cerca y que te llame la atención.

The supreme being of classical theism is unlimited in power, knowledge, and goodness – a being distinct from the world, who creates it out of nothing and governs it from beyond. On this picture, we are not identical with God. God's consciousness is not our consciousness – and our identity is not theirs. That picture has long been challenged by schools of Hindu philosophy and, more recently, by Western philosophies of religion that reject traditional conceptions of God. In response to the problem of evil, some philosophers now argue that if there is a creator, then that creator must be limited in power. Advaita's challenge is more radical. It doesn't just revise the traditional conception of God – it dissolves it. Where classical theism draws a sharp distinction between God and the world, Advaita says that reality is non-dual. The divine is not something separate from us or from the universe, but the underlying reality that appears as both. To explore these competing visions of the supreme being, reality, and our place within it, I'm joined by three guests. Returning to The Panpsycast for the fifth time is Philip Goff, Professor of Philosophy at Durham University. As listeners will remember, Philip is the author of several brilliant books – including Galileo's Error and, more recently, Why? The Purpose of the Universe. David Godman is a leading author, best known for his work on the Hindu sage, Sri Ramana Maharshi. And last but not least, Miri Albahari is Senior Lecturer at The University of Western Australia – where her work explores the metaphysics and epistemology of Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. What is gained – and what is lost – when God is no longer unlimited, or is no longer separate from the world? Can these alternatives still ground mind, meaning, and morality? And by what means could we come to know such a reality – and decide between these rival conceptions of God?

AI Agents promise to revolutionize how we operate our companies, but this is much more than just recording meetings and summarizing emails. How do you build an Agent (and Superagent) architecture to re-engineer HR and what is the role of your core HCM platforms? Well this is the trillion dollar question challenging every business software provider, and it has a huge impact on your HR and overall AI strategy. In this podcast I explain this topic and describe how employee onboarding, as an example, could be entirely redesigned for speed, scale, and agility. This is a new world and for the first time in my career each of us, regardless of tech experience, will be able to redesign how our HR function works to move from “work productivity” to automation and tremendous new value creation strategies in HR. Note that this week OpenAI announced its Frontier platform to help build enterprise agents. Microsoft recently introduced Agent 365 to help build enterprise Superagents. ServiceNow offers its Enterprise AI Control Tower, and Workday has introduced the Workday Agent System of Record. The space of agent management platforms is just beginning. As you listen to this and ponder your situation I hope you consult Galileo for advice or call us. Our Systemic HR AI Blueprint is here to help you design and implement AI apps that will revolutionize HR and your business. Enterprise AI is an exciting new domain and we are here to help.

En este nuevo episodio de Fintech Talks, hablamos de lo que casi nunca se ve, pero de lo que todo depende: la infraestructura financiera.Conversamos con Abdull Assal, Business Development Lead de Galileo para Brasil y Colombia, sobre cómo las APIs, los core bancarios y los pagos inmediatos están cambiando —de verdad— la forma en la que bancos y fintechs construyen productos financieros en América Latina. ¿Por qué la inclusión financiera empieza mucho antes de una app? ¿Qué podemos aprender de Brasil y Pix? ¿Qué necesita Colombia para que los pagos inmediatos y el open finance funcionen bien desde el día uno?Una conversación clara y aterrizada sobre tecnología, experiencia de usuario y por qué modernizar la infraestructura no es una opción, sino una condición para cerrar brechas reales de acceso financiero.

Many of the features on the Moon are named for astronomers. So are features on Mars and other planets and moons. And hundreds of asteroids are named for astronomers as well. But you won’t find many features named for astronomers here on Earth. Quite a few streets and schools are named after them. But when it comes to major features, the list is pretty thin – especially in the United States. One of the few is Mount Langley, a 14,000-foot summit in California. It’s named for Samuel Pierpont Langley, who was a long-time director of the Allegheny Observatory. To see more features named for astronomers, though, you need to head south – to Australia, New Zealand, and even Antarctica. In Australia, for example, a river and an estuary are named for Thomas Brisbane, an early governor of the state of New South Wales. And so is the city of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. In addition to his government duties, Brisbane was an astronomer. He set up Australia’s first major observatory. In New Zealand, several peaks in a large mountain range are named for astronomers, including Galileo and Copernicus. And an entire range is named for Johannes Kepler. In Antarctica, many features are named for James Ross, an early explorer. But Ross himself named several features for astronomers, including Cape Smyth and Mount Lubbock – down-to-earth features named for men who studied the stars. Script by Damond Benningfield
In 1610 reports reached Prague that Galileo had discovered new planets, and Kepler felt compelled to find out for himself what had actually been seen. Reading Starry Messenger and later observing through a borrowed telescope, he became one of Galileo's earliest and most important defenders. Kepler not only confirmed the existence of Jupiter's moons but also argued publicly for the reliability of telescopic observations, and went further by explaining, for the first time, how the telescope worked in theory through his optical treatise Dioptrice.Alongside this defence of new instruments, the episode follows Kepler's search for harmony in the structure of the cosmos, culminating in the discovery of his third law of planetary motion. It then traces his long and difficult effort to complete the Rudolphine Tables, based on Tycho Brahe's observations. Published in 1627, the tables proved vastly more accurate than anything before them and made possible the successful prediction of planetary transits. Though Kepler did not live to see their full impact, the tables ensured that his astronomy could no longer be ignored.Support the showSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/completehistoryofscience Contact: thecompletehistoryofscience@gmail.comBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gethinrichards.bsky.socialMusic Credit: Folk Round Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License
#sessionLive qui voyage de Salvador de Bahia à Lisbonne, en passant par Barcelone ! Tigana Santana, 1er invité de la #SessionLive en trio Chanteur, compositeur, guitariste, né dans la ville afro-brésilienne de Salvador à Bahia, Tiganá Santana excelle de talents tant dans la musique que dans sa carrière de philosophe et chercheur. L'ancestralité et la culture africaine inspirent la musique de cet artiste polyglotte, premier artiste brésilien à chanter et composer en langues africaines comme le kikongo et kimbundu d'Angola et du Congo. Sa plume et sa voix s'exercent aussi, avec le même brio, dans les sonorités de sa langue portugaise natale, en espagnol ou encore en anglais, ou français. S'il est souvent appelé « le Nick Drake brésilien », c'est certainement grâce à son univers très intimiste et à sa voix chaude et rauque. Caçada Noturna, septième album de Tiganá Santana, enregistré à Serpa, dans les terres portugaises, avec les musiciens et amis Leonardo Mendes et Ldson Galter, est basé sur des instruments à cordes, concrétisant ainsi un projet que Tiganá attendait depuis un certain temps. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Muloloki Live RFI - Nkongo, extrait de Caçada Noturna (2024) - Flor Destinada (effleurer le destin) Live RFI.

Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant ► Album Caçada Noturna (Ajabu ! 2024) Site - YouTube - Instagram. Puis nous recevons Lina & Marco Mezquida pour la sortie de O Fado. La rencontre entre LINA_, l'une des voix les plus incarnées du fado contemporain, et Marco Mezquida, pianiste catalan virtuose, s'est imposée comme une évidence. Tous deux partagent un amour de la liberté musicale, une exigence artistique sans compromis et une sensibilité à fleur de peau. Dès leur première session en studio, la magie opère : le piano devient le prolongement naturel de la voix, et la voix se déploie dans le souffle du clavier. « Marco a apporté une grande légèreté à ma musique. Avec lui, je me sens libre et profondément écoutée », confie LINA_. De cette alchimie, naît un premier EP, O Fado, sorti en mars 2025, salué pour sa manière de faire dialoguer tradition et modernité. Portés par cet élan, les deux artistes prolongent leur collaboration avec un album du même nom de douze titres où ils explorent un répertoire mêlant compositions originales, réinterprétations et morceaux méconnus. Ils proposent une nouvelle lecture de Fado da Defesa (avec un poème d'António Calém, une musique de José António Sabrosa, rendu célèbre par Maria Teresa de Noronha), ainsi que de Gota d'Água de Flávio Gil. LINA_ signe également des compositions sur des textes de Florbela Espanca, Miguel Torga, Sueli Costa, Álvaro Duarte Simões ou encore Luís de Andrade et explore même la langue castillane avec El Rosario de Mi Madre (Mário Cavagnaro) et No Volveré (Ernesto Cortázar / Manuel Esperón), où elle perçoit des affinités naturelles avec le fado.

The HR profession is about to go through its biggest transformation in decades. To use a new phrase, this is a “rupture” from the past as we shift to new world of AI agents and superagents automating much of what we do. In this podcast I explain how 30-40% of AI jobs and roles will change, and how HR will become even more strategic as a result. And this is not a story of layoffs or cost reduction: rather we see AI helping to transform HR into a business function that accelerates scale, time to market, customer value, and both employee and customer experience. I also discuss why and how AI accuracy and trust is going to become enormously more important overnight as agents speed up and automate our human capital work. I'm very inspired by what's about to happen and I want you, as a business or HR professional, to understand and thrive in this new world. This is why we've loaded our AI Blueprint and all our analysis of HR roles and operations into Galileo, which serves as a consulting tool, learning tool, and problem solving agent. If you're inspired by this transformation agenda I hope you reach out to us so we can help you and your company build your own AI agenda for the years ahead.

This week we launch our Imperatives for 2026, and I discuss the 11 top issues you face and how HR, as we know it, is going to radically change. Our research shows that 30-40% of today's HR roles will go away, soon to be automated by AI agents and Superagents. Read today's news release for more details. This podcast explains the transformative impact of enterprise AI on human resources, emphasizing the redefinition of HR roles, the emergence of super agents, and the future of work. It highlights the need for organizations to adapt to these changes by focusing on employee engagement and the development of super workers, ultimately leading to enhanced productivity and organizational growth. Major Messages AI is redefining what HR does and how it operates. We are in the early stages of a technology revolution with AI. AI can analyze unstructured data, making HR more strategic. The concept of superagents will change HR technology. Many HR roles will evolve rather than disappear due to AI. Employee engagement is at a low despite advancements in health and longevity. Organizations must continuously care for and support their employees. The workforce is becoming more independent and less tied to a single employer. AI will create opportunities for super workers who leverage technology effectively. Companies must rethink talent management to retain top talent. Your Personal Transformation Each of these 11 topics represent a learning opportunity for business and HR professionals. We've built an entire AI-powered learning experience and Supertutor in Galileo to help. We encourage you to get Galileo to dig in and apply these topics to your job, your company, and your career.

Synopsis What exactly is authority? Where does it come from? How do you get it? Can you move authority from St. Paul, MN to the south side of Chicago? Join Em and Jesse for a wide-ranging chat on the subject. Notes 1/ Of course, many people in addition to women have a hard time getting others (i.e. non-group members) to pay attention to their authority. For example, trans and nonbinary people have a hard time getting anyone to listen to them speaking about their own lived experiences. 2/ I’ve published four novels and a novella since this was recorded, and people actually do think I’m an authority on some topics for some reason. 3/ The story about Aristotle’s phony translators comes from here, I think: https://historyofphilosophy.net/translation-movement Pseudopigrapha: from pseudo, false, and epigraphe, name or inscription. A falsely attributed text. U of Michigan’s Galileo text: “After an internal investigation of the findings of Nick Wilding, professor of history at Georgia State University, the library has concluded that its “Galileo manuscript” is in fact a 20th-century forgery. We’re grateful to Professor Wilding for sharing his findings, and are now working to reconsider the manuscript’s role in our collection.” Also, “Wilding concluded that our Galileo manuscript is a 20th-century fake executed by the well-known forger Tobia Nicotra.” (The quotes are from the linked website.) 4/ According to the Virginia Woolf society, the actual quote is: “I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.” (From ch 3 of A Room of One’s Own.) Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (5th/6th century CE)) Pseudo-Pseduo-Dionysius is anyone once thought to be Pseudo-Dionysius but now recognized (by modern scholars) to be someone other than Pseudo-Dionysius. Confused? 5/ Pseudo-Bonaventure (14th century CE) wrote Meditations on the Life of Christ. 6/ I’ve become a bit more familiar with copyright law in the three years(!) since we recorded this, since I’ve published three going on four books of my own since then. A really good example of a point I think past Em is trying to make is Sherlock Holmes, who has recently passed into public domain. He’s a neat character and everyone wanted to play with him (look at the adaptations of recent memory: the Robert Downey Jr. films, the BBC’s Sherlock, the American Elementary). But because of copyright law, this was fairly difficult and confusing until very recently, despite the character’s creator having been dead since 1930. These cases raise many questions of authorship vs ownership and how long someone should really be able to make money on an idea. (Patent Law is, if anything, worse, from what I understand.) 7/ It was a photograph of Prince! Since we recorded this, the Supreme Court sided against Andy Warhol’s estate: https://www.npr.org/2023/05/18/1176881182/supreme-court-sides-against-andy-warhol-foundation-in-copyright-infringement-cas Girl Talk is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSoTN8suQ1o I mention him because there was a really good documentary about copyright called RiP! A Remix Manifesto that discussed his work (including a discussion of it with the head of the copyright office of the Library of Congress). 8/ Just to clarify, “fair use” is kind of a complicated issue. When you are a non-commercial educational podcast (ahem), you can use things (like samples of YouTube performances) without having to pay licensing fees. You can also fairly quote sections of things for criticism, news reporting, and research. You can therefore quote lines from songs or poems in textbooks, but not in novels because they aren’t considered teaching. Parody (hello, Weird Al!) can be a weird gray area, because a parody obviously has to be somewhat transformative but still retain enough of a likeness that people will know what you’re parodying, and on this question hangs a lot of lawsuits. (Not toward Weird Al though, as far as I know. But Margaret Mitchell’s estate did try to sue to block the publication of The Wind Done Gone.) See also: Why does Ulysses (in Em’s novels) wear so many band T-shirts and occasionally mention songs and artists, but there are zero song lyrics in the books? Because you can’t copyright band names or album/song titles. Steamboat Willie has actually entered public domain since we recorded this! [So amazing!–Jesse] Peter Pan actually first appeared in 1902! Also, sorry, “Peter Pan is a psychopomp” is somehow not a sentence I had on my bingo card. I guess it has lost a bit in its translation to the screen… On the plus side, SIDS rates have dropped dramatically since 1902? “I can rewrite Macbeth if I want to.” Or a really complex riff on The Bacchae? Em of 2022 did not know what was coming, lol. 9/ Notably, Spivak also quotes primarily women. The episode on Hrotsvit: Episode 22 10/ For more on Juliana of Cornillion and the Feast of Corpus Christi, see Episode 6. 11/ Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale are HERE. (Also, Chaucer was not, as far as we know, toxic like Joss Whedon!) 12/ Incidentally, violent, in-the-moment reactions to mistreatment by another person are called reactive abuse, and they’re often used by abusers to shift the blame onto their victims. If you are being abused or wondering if you are and want to talk to someone, check out the National Domestic Violence Hotline (https://www.thehotline.org/), or look for local programs. Here in Madison, for instance, we have Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (https://abuseintervention.org/).
Think of science's most momentous developments in the 20th century — Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum physics, finding evidence of black holes. If you trace the chain of discoveries that led to these breakthroughs back far enough, you'll end up with the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei. Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says we can learn a lot from Galileo today. He explains how 400 years ago, the renowned inventor was discovering new facts about the Universe to understand ourselves better — and so are we.

Humans have always scanned the skies for the unknown, from Galileo's first telescopic observations to modern instruments peering 13 billion years into the past, always assuming that if contact ever came, it would come from space. Yet while we obsess over the heavens, we largely ignore the vast, uncharted world covering 71% of our own planet. The deep ocean, less mapped than Mars, and hostile to human exploration, has long inspired reports from sailors of strange lights and massive, fast-moving shapes beneath the waters. Today, advanced sensors, radar, and military testimony describe objects that plunge from the sky into the sea without impact, maneuver underwater at extreme speeds, and defy conventional explanation. Known as Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs), or “Fast Movers,” these verified encounters challenge our assumptions, raising an unsettling possibility: while we search the cosmos for visitors, something unknown may have been here all along.Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.
On this episode of ID the Future, host Casey Luskin begins a two-part conversation with University of Warwick professor Steve Fuller to reflect on the historical and philosophical foundations of intelligent design (ID) and the 20th anniversary of the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial. Fuller, an expert witness in the Dover trial and a scholar in the history and philosophy of science, challenges the popular "conflict thesis" that suggests that science and religion are perpetually at war. Instead, he describes a different historical understanding where modern science originated from a theological foundation, noting pioneers like Newton and Galileo, who viewed the universe as an intelligible machine designed by a divine mind. This tradition suggests that the very project of science was launched by the belief that human minds, created in the image and likeness of God, are capable of uncovering the logical laws governing reality. The conversation delves into why intelligent design should be viewed as a rich, interdisciplinary research tradition rather than a modern invention. Fuller explores the concept of biomimicry as a form of reverse engineering nature to uncover the hidden engineering elements within organisms. While Luskin notes that ID can be approached through purely scientific observations of intelligent agency, Fuller argues that theology remains a vital component because it explains why the designer uses "code" or the "logos"—be it in DNA or mathematical laws—as a creative medium. This insightful first part of a two-part series highlights how ID integrates biology, engineering, and information science to offer a comprehensive explanation for the complexity of the natural world.
