Nieves Concostrina habla sobre la figura de Galileo Galilei.

In 1612—just one year after Shakespeare wrote The Tempest—Venetian physician Santorio Santori transformed Galileo's simple thermoscope into the world's first thermometer by adding a calibrated scale and sealing the device. His invention marked the birth of quantified medicine, turning vague sensations of “hot” and “cold” into measurable data that could guide treatment. In this episode, historian of medicine Dr. Fabrizio Bigotti joins us to explore Santorio's remarkable innovations, how they predated Galileo's own instruments, and why this quiet inventor deserves recognition as the true father of the thermometer.

El cometa 3I/ATLAS alcanza hoy su punto más cercano al Sol, y los astrónomos se preparan para observar datos únicos que podrían revelar sus secretos.  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  El objeto interestelar 3I/ATLAS, descubierto en julio por el sistema ATLAS, se encuentra este 29 de octubre en su perihelio, el punto más cercano al Sol. Astrónomos de todo el mundo observan el fenómeno para descubrir si este visitante de otro sistema estelar es un cometa común o un mensajero con características nunca vistas.  Durante las últimas semanas, 3I/ATLAS ha captado la atención mundial. Es el tercer objeto interestelar detectado en la historia, después de ‘Oumuamua y Borisov. Hoy, al pasar detrás del Sol, no puede observarse desde la Tierra, pero las misiones espaciales lo siguen desde varios puntos del sistema solar. La expectación es grande porque, al salir nuevamente a la vista en noviembre, su trayectoria podría confirmar si se comporta como un cometa normal o si muestra algo inesperado.  Unos pocos científicos sospechan que 3I/ATLAS podría no ser natural.  El 1 de julio de 2025, el sistema de alerta ATLAS detectó un nuevo objeto moviéndose a más de 200 000 kilómetros por hora. Su velocidad y trayectoria indicaban que venía de fuera del sistema solar. Fue bautizado 3I/ATLAS, por ser el tercer objeto interestelar conocido. Tiene unos cinco kilómetros de diámetro, una masa estimada de 33 000 millones de toneladas y una composición dominada por hielo de dióxido de carbono, según mediciones del telescopio espacial James Webb.Lo más sorprendente es que los telescopios detectaron vapor de níquel en su atmósfera, algo inusual porque ese metal no se evapora a temperaturas tan bajas. Este hallazgo, publicado por un equipo internacional en la revista Nature, sugiere que 3I/ATLAS contiene moléculas desconocidas que liberan metales sin necesidad de calor extremo.  En medio de los análisis científicos, el astrofísico Avi Loeb, de Harvard, planteó una hipótesis distinta: ¿y si 3I/ATLAS no fuera un cometa, sino una sonda o nave interestelar construida por otra civilización? Loeb sostiene que su trayectoria y su alineación con el plano orbital de los planetas podrían ser señales de diseño.Él menciona un concepto real de la física llamado efecto Oberth, que explica cómo una nave obtiene el máximo impulso si acelera cerca de una fuente de gravedad, como el Sol. Según Loeb, si 3I/ATLAS cambiara su velocidad durante el perihelio de hoy, sería una prueba de control artificial.La comunidad científica no comparte esa idea. Tom Statler, de la NASA, insiste en que 3I/ATLAS se comporta como un cometa natural: tiene cola, libera gas, y su brillo coincide con lo esperado. Además, el telescopio Hubble confirmó que su llamada “anti-cola”, un chorro de partículas hacia el Sol, cambió de dirección por causas térmicas, no tecnológicas.  La realidad científica, hasta ahora, es que 3I/ATLAS muestra los mismos procesos que otros cometas, aunque con peculiaridades químicas. Las observaciones del Very Large Telescope en Chile confirmaron que su vapor contiene más dióxido de carbono que agua, algo muy raro pero natural. A medida que se acerca al Sol, la radiación provoca que el hielo se sublima y libere gases metálicos, entre ellos el misterioso níquel.NASA, la Agencia Espacial Europea y el proyecto Galileo de Loeb siguen observando desde distintos puntos. Las misiones JUICE, que viaja hacia Júpiter, y Juno, que ya orbita ese planeta, podrán detectarlo en diciembre y medir cualquier emisión de radio o calor anormal. Si no hay señales artificiales ni cambios de trayectoria, el caso quedará resuelto: 3I/ATLAS será confirmado como un cometa natural, portador de materiales antiguos de otro sistema estelar.  El estudio de 3I/ATLAS no es solo una curiosidad. Estos objetos nos permiten analizar de qué están hechos los sistemas planetarios más allá del nuestro. En 2017, ‘Oumuamua despertó interés por su forma alargada y su aceleración inusual; en 2019, Borisov mostró que los cometas interestelares se parecen mucho a los nuestros.Con 3I/ATLAS, los científicos están obteniendo información inédita sobre los compuestos de carbono y los metales de estrellas antiguas. El hallazgo de níquel sin hierro podría ayudar a entender cómo se formaron los planetas en otras galaxias. Además, NASA ha activado su red de defensa planetaria para seguir su recorrido, no porque haya peligro, sino para mejorar sus sistemas de monitoreo ante futuras visitas cósmicas.Loeb reconoce que la probabilidad de que 3I/ATLAS sea artificial es mínima, pero sugiere seguir observando: si después del perihelio apareciera alguna desviación en su órbita o un cambio inexplicable de brillo, la ciencia tendría que replantear varias cosas. Por ahora, el consenso es claro: se trata de un visitante natural, antiguo y fascinante.  Hoy, 3I/ATLAS pasa detrás del Sol y los astrónomos observan atentos. Sea un cometa o un visitante tecnológico, este objeto nos recuerda lo poco que sabemos del cosmos y lo mucho que podemos aprender con la ciencia. Escucha y comenta este episodio en Flash Diario en Spotify.  El cometa interestelar 3I/ATLAS pasa hoy detrás del Sol.

This week I met with dozens of HR leaders in Europe and there were many discussions about the risks of AI. AI is going to take all our jobs away. AI is going to get out of control and ruin our lives. AI is going to become smarter than humans and overtake us. AI is going to make us all more stupid because we won't have to think. In this podcast I debunk these fears and try to explain what you can do to calm your fears. Yes AI is new and somewhat unpredictable, but if we treat it well (as a society, as users, and as builders) none of these fears will come to bite us.

In this week's podcast I describe the new role of manager in the age of AI. No, managers are not going away and managers are not going to be managing agents as people. Rather a new Supermanager role has emerged: the leader who can drive transformation, lead AI innovation, and learn the details of AI to create change. AI transformation is very much a people problem: redesigning jobs, roles, skills, and activities. Supermanagers are the fuel and the glue that make AI transformation happen. Listen to my discussion and you'll understand why, what, and how to create Supermanagers in your business.

How does a star form? How does the universe form? And how can we use every bit of astronomical data to answer those questions? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astrostatistician Sabrina Berger, all the way from Melbourne, Australia, where she's currently pursuing her PhD. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the new radioastronomy photographs of Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter, taken by ALMA. Sabrina talks about her own low-frequency radio astronomy research looking for hydrogen in the very early reionization period of the universe when the first galaxies were forming. (Be warned: we dive into the difficulties ionization poses for trying to discern these early processes, including a side trip into quantum mechanics, the hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen at 21cm depicted on the plaque attached to the Pioneer spacecraft, and even the Cosmic Background Radiation.) You'll also hear how Sabrina is innovatively using GPS satellites to help calibrate large radioastronomy telescope arrays. For our first student question, Derek asks, “I heard that black holes can form right after the Big Bang, before stars do. How is that possible?” Sabrina describes these primordial black holes, and, although none have been confirmed yet, that there have been a number of papers published recently on the subject. In fact, one paper suggesting that the as-yet-undiscovered “Planet 9” could even be one of these primordial black holes. And then, finally, we get to the subject of astrostatistics, Sabrina's area of expertise. She explains that it allows you to harness every piece of information that you're observing in astronomy and to answer questions like “How does a star form?” or “How does the universe form?” You'll hear about huge data sets, the use of artificial intelligence, field level inferences… and the MCMC, or the Markov chain Monte Carlo used in statistics. (If you don't know what that is, you're not alone, and our own resident mathematician Allen helps Sabrina untangle the complexity with a cotton ball analogy that blew Chuck and Sabrina's collective minds!) For our next student question, Wally asks, “Why is redshift one like nine billion years ago, bur redshift two only two billion years before that, and redshift three only one billion years before that?” As Chuck says, “that's a little complicated,” just before he, Allen and Sabrina proceed to explain how we measure universal expansion, the passage of time, and the “stretching” of light. Our next conversation is one of the most controversial we've ever had and revolves around who Sabrina thinks makes the best espresso, Australia, Italy or a “Third Wave Coffee Shop” like we have here in the US. You'll hear about why there's an ISSpresso machine on the ISS – and how the Italian Space Agency invented a way to make an espresso in zero-g! Plus, you'll hear a little about the work-life balance in Australia and how wonderful astronomy down under is. (Check out our Patreon for the story behind the Australian Aboriginal "Emu-in-the-sky" constellation.)

Ben Schwartz, MD, MBA, wrote an article recently, and yeah, he makes a really compelling point. Dr. Schwartz wrote, “Ultimately, the most successful care models are those that create value inherently. The goal isn't simply cost arbitrage; it's creating a sustainable system that makes value attainable. Care delivery innovation is about more than optimizing for VC [venture capital] returns or maximizing operational efficiency.” For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. That mention of value and how to achieve it for real—like, actually create a care model that delivers value inherently—is a great segue to introduce the show this week. It's a continuation of our mission/margin theme, and this week, we're talking about the margin part of the “no margin, no mission” cliché. So, taking this from the top, last week—and go back and listen to that show if you have not yet (and you can listen to both of these parts in no particular order; you do you)—but last week, we talked mission. That part about value and creating value inherently? The tie-in here to mission and margin could be a value equation, really. Like, mission divided by margin is how you calculate the value delivered (less carrier spread), but that's a whole other show with Cynthia Fisher (EP457). So, let me introduce my guest this week, who was also my guest last week: Dan Greenleaf, CEO of Duly, which is a multispecialty group in Chicago. So, last week Dan and I talked mission, as I said; but today we're talking margin, which is, again, gonna be the denominator of so many value equations. Last week in that mission show, quick review (or spoiler alert, depending on the order in which you may be listening to these shows), but last week, Dan Greenleaf broke mission, Duly's mission, into four quadrants. The four quadrants of mission being affordability, access, consumer experience, and quality. In this conversation today, the margin conversation, Dan Greenleaf emphasizes that achieving these four quadrants reduces friction for patients and clinicians that leads to not only better care outcomes but also financial sustainability (ie, margin). Margin can therefore be a function of mission. And again, as Dr. Ben Schwartz put it, “Ultimately, the most successful care models are those that create value inherently.” So, here we go. To be noted with one big fat fluorescent highlighter marker, a big part of this mission that comes up over and over again last week, it's about making prices reasonable and predictable and transparent for patients. Financial toxicity is a thing. Financial toxicity not only is clinical toxicity when so many people are delaying needed care. And look, I don't often quote Marjorie Taylor Greene, but recently she was in the New York Times and was quoted as saying, “The cost of health care is killing people.” This is what we should be focusing on. I just read the other day that one-third of adults in this country are currently delaying or forgoing care due to cost. One-third! Not one-third of low income or something like that. One-third of adults in this country are delaying or forgoing care due to fear of cost. In today's world, affordability and price transparency is part of what customer experience means—not just, like, lemon water in the waiting room. This is what struck me the most about the conversation from last week. But wait. Does affordable for patients spell trouble when it comes to the margin part of the operation? Will an affordability mission wreak havoc on margin? Is this business model doomed? Is there even a successful care model that creates value inherently that is sustainable? Such a good question, which is why I ask it to Dan Greenleaf right out of the gate. So, just to sum this all up in the conversation that follows, Dan Greenleaf gets into the challenges and the strategies involved in balancing mission-driven healthcare with financial realities. Duly's approach to being fiscally solid includes, well, I'm just gonna say many of the same types of efficiency things to maintain and retain margin that other more mainstream health systems might deploy. But I'd say there's a really striking difference in the why and the how. And the impact of this why and how is striking when you look at Duly's prices and the impact it has on its overall community. So, even though it's using similar types of strategies, maybe, as big consolidated health systems or other organizations, the impact and what it all adds up to is, again, very, very different. This is what I mean. At health systems, and maybe my head is just lost in a couple of anecdotal bits of evidence right now, but I just had two conversations in the past two days with physician leaders at big health systems (different ones), but both of these individuals said variations of the same theme. And if you wanna picture the scene, picture the saddest expressions, and one of them had a martini and the other one had a big-boy glass of wine. And both of them said, Look, my organization has lost sight of patient care, but also my organization has lost sight of, like, financial goals in most parts of the organization. All I seem to do all day is play politics with a whole lot of middle managers or even senior leaders jockeying for position and having turf wars within these sprawling bureaucracies. These are just great people who are trying so hard to do the right thing and are just struggling to find the foothold to do so within their own organizations. So, let's just say it was refreshing to hear Dan Greenleaf talk about an alignment of incentives and hook the margin up with the mission train in a really tight way throughout the entire organization. And to do this really well—achieve that mission/margin alignment across the whole entire organization—Dan underscores the value of clinician involvement in leadership and having, as I just said, aligned incentives with clinical teams. Keep in mind, this is the margin show, where clinical leadership came up and the number of doctors on their board and the level of physician ownership in the organization. I'm highlighting that this is the margin show here because usually so-called dyad leadership with physicians in leadership roles only comes up in mission conversations, right? Like, in situations where somebody wants the doctor to be the defender of mission and the battle to keep the MBAs in check. And I say this as the comic book stereotype, obviously. But yeah, it's true often enough. But then we have Dan, who is thinking about clinicians who have, again, aligned incentives across the organization so you don't have your physician leaders day drinking while I'm sitting across from them finding myself quoting Sun Tzu The Art of War and helping them craft the perfect PowerPoint slide to weaponize a reorg. Honestly, in my experience, there's no better way to waste metric assloads of money than in an organization where personal power grabs start to supersede anything that smells vaguely like an organizational imperative. And again, these just big bureaucracies at many health systems … yeah, too big not to fail at this is often the way of it. Then lastly, I grilled Dan Greenleaf about capital partners and how to manage to achieve private equity (PE) funding, where there's support for a model that delivers inherent value—a model that benefits both patients and providers as well as investors. And I'm saying this, keeping all of the things that Yashaswini Singh, PhD, said in that episode (EP474) about private equity a few weeks ago. Go back and listen to that. And by the way, Dan Greenleaf in this show has roughly the same ideas as Tom X. Lee, MD (EP445), founder of One Medical and Galileo told me, and also Rushika Fernandopulle, MD (EP460), founder of Iora. Great minds think alike. So, should figuring out how to work with PE be a topic of interest, there you go. Listen to my conversation today with Dan Greenleaf and then go back and listen to those other two shows. Dan Greenleaf, CEO of Duly, my guest today, has been in healthcare for 30 years. He's a six-time CEO: three public companies and has also run three companies backed by private equity and thus very aware of the many different funding mechanisms that exist in the marketplace. This podcast is sponsored by Aventria Health Group, but I do just wanna mention that Duly offered Relentless Health Value some financial support, which we truly appreciate. So, call this episode not only sponsored by Aventria but also Duly. And with that, here is my conversation with Dan Greenleaf.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2019 conversation with Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls. ABOUT EMILY SALIERSSinger-songwriter Emily Saliers is best known as one half of  Indigo Girls, which NPR called “one of the finest folk duos of all time.” The Georgia-raised musical icon is the sole writer of some of the group's best-known titles, including “Closer to Fine,” “Hammer and a Nail,” “Galileo,” “Least Complicated,” “Power of Two,” “Get Out the Map,” and others. With fifteen studio albums to their credit, Indigo Girls are Grammy award winners and winners of the Pell Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts. They've earned seven gold, four platinum, and one double platinum award for album sales and have collaborated with REM, Joan Baez, Brandi Carlile, P!nk, and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello.  In addition to her work with Indigo Girls, Saliers and her father, a retired theology professor, co-wrote the book A Song to Sing, a Life to Live: Reflections on Music as Spiritual Practice. In recent years she released her debut solo album, Murmuration Nation, and has remained an impassioned activist and advocate for causes close to her heart. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This milestone 200th(!!!) episode of The Heart of Healthcare Podcast features none other than Dr. Tom X. Lee, the serial physician-founder behind Epocrates (acquired for $293M), One Medical (acquired by Amazon for $3.9B), and now Galileo, a tech-enabled medical group aiming to rewire care delivery from the ground up.We cover:

This week I discuss this ongoing trend of layoff announcements, typically coupled to “AI.” And as you'll hear, this is quite a complex topic which gets into company culture, labor relations, and ultimately long term business strategy. A new article in The Economist claims that “Europe Crushes Innovation” because of its old-fashioned labor rules. The point they make, which I discuss, is that forcing companies to “hold on” to workers stunts growth and innovation. While I can't argue with the data, I believe it's not that simple. So listen to this podcast and see if our “Dynamic Organization” model makes more sense. You can explore all the dynamics in this podcast by getting Galileo®, the world's AI assistant for HR and Leadership. Galileo can assess your company in this area of maturity and give you essential action-items to help with your own team or company's AI transformation. (Prompt: “my company is xyz, we're in industry abc, our business issues are xxx, would you benchmark me against the dynamic organization research and help me identify the leadership, management, and HR practices I need to accelerate my AI transformation?”) Anyway listen in, I'd love your comments.

Patricia Frost, EVP and CHRO of Seagate, is one of the most fascinating and highest-performing CHROs we've met. Patricia has decades of experience as a US Army military leader, most recently as Director of Cyber, Electronic Warfare and Information Operations. How does her extensive military, warfare, and leadership experience pay off? As you'll hear, Patricia is a hands-on leader, ready to make decisions and challenge dogma in dozens of important ways. In many ways she exemplifies the future leadership model for all C-level leaders, especially the CHRO. Patricia shares how she is navigating the opportunities presented by AI, reshaping talent strategies, and fostering a culture of innovation. Her background as a senior military leader prepared her to build on the team available today, supporting employee mobility, agility, and HR capabilities. Notable Quotes “You go to combat with the team you have, not necessarily the team you want. You can't just hire in someone and say I want to bring you in my team and put you in close combat. Your team is your team. And you build that team. You build on their skill sets. We do a lot of upskilling in the military. It's your team. You know everyone's strengths and weaknesses.” “Middle managers are really the powerhouse of any company. And I don't know that we spend enough time on our managers, probably our frontline managers, and then the middle management. How well do they understand their teams and the skills within their teams and understand also what people are passionate about? Where would they like to go? What opportunities can be open to them?” “I am front and center. I think every CHRO needs to be front and center in the AI conversation. They need to be leading. They need to be talking about, will AI take away certain functions within HR? First, we had to take the anxiety down from our workforce. So my approach this year is leave no one behind. I am going to give everyone the opportunity. We're going to give everyone the same set of tools and training, and I will help you get there. Everyone has a choice.” Like this podcast? Rate us on Spotify or Apple or YouTube.

This week I discuss SAP's massive launch of AI agents throughout the suite, and the growing importance of Joule, SAP's business agent for all employees. The architecture is now well built out and I explain how AI is permeating the ERP and HCM space. I also discuss our new Galileo – Joule agent-to-agent integration and how MCP and a2a protocols are changing the AI space from a single “agent platform” to a network or AI agents which can now talk to each other and cascade and embed functions in workflows. Listen to my recent podcast on OpenAi's developer platform and how they also use MCP to bring applications together. Two big messages here: First, SAP really has its AI act together, making it possible for companies to get the best of SAP and other AI agents throughout their companies. Second, the new world of business agents is not “one platform” winning: it's a network of specialized agents communicating with each other. While none of us wants hundreds of vendor solutions in our tech stack, this interoperability approach is really positive because it lets specialized agents (ie. Galileo) work with others (Joule, Microsoft Copilot, etc.) to help you craft the perfect solutions for your company.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,For most of history, stagnation — not growth — was the rule. To explain why prosperity so often stalls, economist Carl Benedikt Frey offers a sweeping tour through a millennium of innovation and upheaval, showing how societies either harness — or are undone by — waves of technological change. His message is sobering: an AI revolution is no guarantee of a new age of progress.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I talk with Frey about why societies midjudge their trajectory and what it takes to reignite lasting growth.Frey is a professor of AI and Work at the Oxford Internet Institute and a fellow of Mansfield College, University of Oxford. He is the director of the Future of Work Programme and Oxford Martin Citi Fellow at the Oxford Martin School.He is the author of several books, including the brand new one, How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation, and the Fate of Nations.In This Episode* The end of progress? (1:28)* A history of Chinese innovation (8:26)* Global competitive intensity (11:41)* Competitive problems in the US (15:50)* Lagging European progress (22:19)* AI & labor (25:46)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. The end of progress? (1:28). . . once you exploit a technology, the processes that aid that run into diminishing returns, you have a lot of incumbents, you have some vested interests around established technologies, and you need something new to revive growth.Pethokoukis: Since 2020, we've seen the emergence of generative AI, mRNA vaccines, reusable rockets that have returned America to space, we're seeing this ongoing nuclear renaissance including advanced technologies, maybe even fusion, geothermal, the expansion of solar — there seems to be a lot cooking. Is worrying about the end of progress a bit too preemptive?Frey: Well in a way, it's always a bit too preemptive to worry about the future: You don't know what's going to come. But let me put it this way: If you had told me back in 1995 — and if I was a little bit older then — that computers and the internet would lead to a decade streak of productivity growth and then peter out, I would probably have thought you nuts because it's hard to think about anything that is more consequential. Computers have essentially given people the world's store of knowledge basically in their pockets. The internet has enabled us to connect inventors and scientists around the world. There are few tools that aided the research process more. There should hardly be any technology that has done more to boost scientific discovery, and yet we don't see it.We don't see it in the aggregate productivity statistics, so that petered out after a decade. Research productivity is in decline. Measures of breakthrough innovation is in decline. So it's always good to be optimistic, I guess, and I agree with you that, when you say AI and when you read about many of the things that are happening now, it's very, very exciting, but I remain somewhat skeptical that we are actually going to see that leading to a huge revival of economic growth.I would just be surprised if we don't see any upsurge at all, to be clear, but we do have global productivity stagnation right now. It's not just Europe, it's not just Britain. The US is not doing too well either over the past two decades or so. China's productivity is probably in the negative territory or stagnant, by more optimistic measures, and so we're having a growth problem.If tech progress were inevitable, why have predictions from the '90s, and certainly earlier decades like the '50s and '60s, about transformative breakthroughs and really fast economic growth by now, consistently failed to materialize? How does your thesis account for why those visions of rapid growth and progress have fallen short?I'm not sure if my thesis explains why those expectations didn't materialize, but I'm hopeful that I do provide some framework for thinking about why we've often seen historically rapid growth spurts followed by stagnation and even decline. The story I'm telling is not rocket science, exactly. It's basically built on the simple intuitions that once you exploit a technology, the processes that aid that run into diminishing returns, you have a lot of incumbents, you have some vested interests around established technologies, and you need something new to revive growth.So for example, the Soviet Union actually did reasonably well in terms of economic growth. A lot of it, or most of it, was centered on heavy industry, I should say. So people didn't necessarily see the benefits in their pockets, but the economy grew rapidly for about four decades or so, then growth petered out, and eventually it collapsed. So for exploiting mass-production technologies, the Soviet system worked reasonably well. Soviet bureaucrats could hold factory managers accountable by benchmarking performance across factories.But that became much harder when something new was needed because when something is new, what's the benchmark? How do you benchmark against that? And more broadly, when something is new, you need to explore, and you need to explore often different technological trajectories. So in the Soviet system, if you were an aircraft engineer and you wanted to develop your prototype, you could go to the red arm and ask for funding. If they turned you down, you maybe had two or three other options. If they turned you down, your idea would die with you.Conversely, in the US back in '99, Bessemer Venture declined to invest in Google, which seemed like a bad idea with the benefit of hindsight, but it also illustrates that Google was no safe bet at the time. Yahoo and Alta Vista we're dominating search. You need somebody to invest in order to know if something is going to catch on, and in a more decentralized system, you can have more people taking different bets and you can explore more technological trajectories. That is one of the reasons why the US ended up leading the computer revolutions to which Soviet contributions were basically none.Going back to your question, why didn't those dreams materialize? I think we've made it harder to explore. Part of the reason is protective regulation. Part of the reason is lobbying by incumbents. Part of the reason is, I think, a revolving door between institutions like the US patent office and incumbents where we see in the data that examiners tend to grant large firms some patents that are of low quality and then get lucrative jobs at those places. That's creating barriers to entry. That's not good for new startups and inventors entering the marketplace. I think that is one of the reasons that we haven't seen some of those dreams materialize.A history of Chinese innovation (8:26)So while Chinese bureaucracy enabled scale, Chinese bureaucracy did not really permit much in terms of decentralized exploration, which European fragmentation aided . . .I wonder if your analysis of pre-industrial China, if there's any lessons you can draw about modern China as far as the way in which bad governance can undermine innovation and progress?Pre-industrial China has a long history. China was the technology leader during the Song and Tang dynasties. It had a meritocratic civil service. It was building infrastructure on scales that were unimaginable in Europe at the time, and yet it didn't have an industrial revolution. So while Chinese bureaucracy enabled scale, Chinese bureaucracy did not really permit much in terms of decentralized exploration, which European fragmentation aided, and because there was lots of social status attached to becoming a bureaucrat and passing the civil service examination, if Galileo was born in China, he would probably become a bureaucrat rather than a scientist, and I think that's part of the reason too.But China mostly did well when the state was strong rather than weak. A strong state was underpinned by intensive political competition, and once China had unified and there were fewer peer competitors, you see that the center begins to fade. They struggle to tax local elites in order to keep the peace. People begin to erect monopolies in their local markets and collide with guilds to protect production and their crafts from competition.So during the Qing dynasty, China begins to decline, whereas we see the opposite happening in Europe. European fragmentation aids exploration and innovation, but it doesn't necessarily aid scaling, and so that is something that Europe needs to come to terms with at a later stage when the industrial revolution starts to take off. And even before that, market integration played an important role in terms of undermining the guilds in Europe, and so part of the reason why the guilds persist longer in China is the distance is so much longer between cities and so the guilds are less exposed to competition. In the end, Europe ends up overtaking China, in large part because vested interests are undercut by governments, but also because of investments in things that spur market integration.Global competitive intensity (11:41)Back in the 2000s, people predicted that China would become more like the United States, now it looks like the United States is becoming more like China.This is a great McKinsey kind of way of looking at the world: The notion that what drives innovation is sort of maximum competitive intensity. You were talking about the competitive intensity in both Europe and in China when it was not so centralized. You were talking about the competitive intensity of a fragmented Europe.Do you think that the current level of competitive intensity between the United States and China —and I really wish I could add Europe in there. Plenty of white papers, I know, have been written about Europe's competitive state and its in innovativeness, and I hope those white papers are helpful and someone reads them, but it seems to be that the real competition is between United States and China.Do you not think that that competitive intensity will sort of keep those countries progressing despite any of the barriers that might pop up and that you've already mentioned a little bit? Isn't that a more powerful tailwind than any of the headwinds that you've mentioned?It could be, I think, if people learn the right lessons from history, at least that's a key argument of the book. Right now, what I'm seeing is the United States moving more towards protectionist with protective tariffs. Right now, what I see is a move towards, we could even say crony capitalism with tariff exemptions that some larger firms that are better-connected to the president are able to navigate, but certainly not challengers. You're seeing the United States embracing things like golden shares in Intel, and perhaps even extending that to a range of companies. Back in the 2000s, people predicted that China would become more like the United States, now it looks like the United States is becoming more like China.And China today is having similar problems and on, I would argue, an even greater scale. Growth used to be the key objective in China, and so for local governments, provincial governments competing on such targets, it was fairly easy to benchmark and measure and hold provincial governors accountable, and they would be promoted inside the Communist Party based on meeting growth targets. Now, we have prioritized common prosperity, more national security-oriented concerns.And so in China, most progress has been driven by private firms and foreign-invested firms. State-owned enterprise has generally been a drag on innovation and productivity. What you're seeing, though, as China is shifting more towards political objectives, it's harder to mobilize private enterprise, where the yard sticks are market share and profitability, for political goals. That means that China is increasingly relying more again on state-owned enterprises, which, again, have been a drag on innovation.So, in principle, I agree with you that historically you did see Russian defeat to Napoleon leading to this Stein-Hardenberg Reforms, and the abolishment of Gilded restrictions, and a more competitive marketplace for both goods and ideas. You saw that Russian losses in the Crimean War led to the of abolition of serfdom, and so there are many times in history where defeat, in particular, led to striking reforms, but right now, the competition itself doesn't seem to lead to the kinds of reforms I would've hoped to see in response.Competitive problems in the US (15:50)I think what antitrust does is, at the very least, it provides a tool that means that businesses are thinking twice before engaging in anti-competitive behavior.I certainly wrote enough pieces and talked to enough people over the past decade who have been worried about competition in the United States, and the story went something like this: that you had these big tech companies — Google, and Meta, Facebook and Microsoft — that these were companies were what they would call “forever companies,” that they had such dominance in their core businesses, and they were throwing off so much cash that these were unbeatable companies, and this was going to be bad for America. People who made that argument just could not imagine how any other companies could threaten their dominance. And yet, at the time, I pointed out that it seemed to me that these companies were constantly in fear that they were one technological advance from being in trouble.And then lo and behold, that's exactly what happened. And while in AI, certainly, Google's super important, and Meta Facebook are super important, so are OpenAI, and so is Anthropic, and there are other companies.So the point here, after my little soliloquy, is can we overstate these problems, at least in the United States, when it seems like it is still possible to create a new technology that breaks the apparent stranglehold of these incumbents? Google search does not look quite as solid a business as it did in 2022.Can we overstate the competitive problems of the United States, or is what you're saying more forward-looking, that perhaps we overstated the competitive problems in the past, but now, due to these tariffs, and executives having to travel to the White House and give the president gifts, that that creates a stage for the kind of competitive problems that we should really worry about?I'm very happy to support the notion that technological changes can lead to unpredictable outcomes that incumbents may struggle to predict and respond to. Even if they predict it, they struggle to act upon it because doing so often undermines the existing business model.So if you take Google, where the transformer was actually conceived, the seven people behind it, I think, have since left the company. One of the reasons that they probably didn't launch anything like ChatGPT was probably for the fear of cannibalizing search. So I think the most important mechanisms for dislodging incumbents are dramatic shifts in technology.None of the legacy media companies ended up leading social media. None of the legacy retailers ended up leading e-commerce. None of the automobile leaders are leading in EVs. None of the bicycle companies, which all went into automobile, so many of them, ended up leading. So there is a pattern there.At the same time, I think you do have to worry that there are anti-competitive practices going on that makes it harder, and that are costly. The revolving door between the USPTO and companies is one example of that. We also have a reasonable amount of evidence on killer acquisitions whereby firms buy up a competitor just to shut it down. Those things are happening. I think you need to have tools that allow you to combat that, and I think more broadly, the United States has a long history of fairly vigorous antitrust policy. I think it'd be a hard pressed to suggest that that has been a tremendous drag on American business or American dynamism. So if you don't think, for example, that American antitrust policy has contributed to innovation and dynamism, at the very least, you can't really say either that it's been a huge drag on it.In Japan, for example, in its postwar history, antitrust was extremely lax. In the United States, it was very vigorous, and it was very vigorous throughout the computer revolution as well, which it wasn't at all in Japan. If you take the lawsuit against IBM, for example, you can debate this. To what extent did it force it to unbundle hardware and software, and would Microsoft been the company it is today without that? I think AT&T, it's both the breakup and it's deregulation, as well, but I think by basically all accounts, that was a good idea, particularly at the time when the National Science Foundation released ARPANET into the world.I think what antitrust does is, at the very least, it provides a tool that means that businesses are thinking twice before engaging in anti-competitive behavior. There's always a risk of antitrust being heavily politicized, and that's always been a bad idea, but at the same time, I think having tools on the books that allows you to check monopolies and steer their investments more towards the innovation rather than anti-competitive practices, I think is, broadly speaking, a good thing. I think in the European Union, you often hear that competition policy is a drag on productivity. I think it's the least of Europe's problem.Lagging European progress (22:19)If you take the postwar period, at least Europe catches up in most key industries, and actually lead in some of them. . . but doesn't do the same in digital. The question in my mind is: Why is that?Let's talk about Europe as we sort of finish up. We don't have to write How Progress Ends, it seems like progress has ended, so maybe we want to think about how progress restarts, and is the problem in Europe, is it institutions or is it the revealed preference of Europeans, that they're getting what they want? That they don't value progress and dynamism, that it is a cultural preference that is manifested in institutions? And if that's the case — you can tell me if that's not the case, I kind of feel like it might be the case — how do you restart progress in Europe since it seems to have already ended?The most puzzling thing to me is not that Europe is less dynamic than the United States — that's not very puzzling at all — but that it hasn't even managed to catch up in digital. If you take the postwar period, at least Europe catches up in most key industries, and actually lead in some of them. So in a way, take automobiles, electrical machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nobody would say that Europe is behind in those industries, or at least not for long. Europe has very robust catchup growth in the post-war period, but doesn't do the same in digital. The question in my mind is: Why is that?I think part of the reason is that the returns to innovation, the returns to scaling in Europe are relatively muted by a fragmented market in services, in particular. The IMF estimates that if you take all trade barriers on services inside the European Union and you add them up, it's something like 110 percent tariffs. Trump Liberation Day tariffs, essentially, imposed within European Union. That means that European firms in digital and in services don't have a harmonized market to scale into, the way the United States and China has. I think that's by far the biggest reason.On top of that, there are well-intentioned regulations like the GDPR that, by any account, has been a drag on innovation, and particularly been harmful for startups, whereas larger firms that find it easier to manage compliance costs have essentially managed to offset those costs by capturing a larger share of the market. I think the AI Act is going in the same direction there, ad so you have more hurdles, you have greater costs of innovating because of those regulatory barriers. And then the return to innovation is more capped by having a smaller, fragmented market.I don't think that culture or European lust for leisure rather than work is the key reason. I think there's some of that, but if you look at the most dynamic places in Europe, it tends to be the Scandinavian countries and, being from Sweden myself, I can tell you that most people you will encounter there are not workaholics.AI & labor (25:46)I think AI at the moment has a real resilience problem. It's very good that things where there's a lot of precedent, it doesn't do very well where precedence is thin.As I finish up, let me ask you: Like a lot of economists who think about technology, you've thought about how AI will affect jobs — given what we've seen in the past few years, would it be your guess that, if we were to look at the labor force participation rates of the United States and other rich countries 10 years from now, that we will look at those employment numbers and think, “Wow, we can really see the impact of AI on those numbers”? Will it be extraordinarily evident, or would it be not as much?Unless there's very significant progress in AI, I don't think so. I think AI at the moment has a real resilience problem. It's very good that things where there's a lot of precedent, it doesn't do very well where precedence is thin. So in most activities where the world is changing, and the world is changing every day, you can't really rely on AI to reliably do work for you.An example of that, most people know of AlphaGo beating the world champion back in 2016. Few people will know that, back in 2023, human amateurs, using standard laptops, exposing the best Go programs to new positions that they would not have encountered in training, actually beat the best Go programs quite easily. So even in a domain where basically the problem is solved, where we already achieved super-human intelligence, you cannot really know how well these tools perform when circumstances change, and I think that that's really a problem. So unless we solve that, I don't think it's going to have an impact that will mean that labor force participation is going to be significantly lower 10 years from now.That said, I do think it's going to have a very significant impact on white collar work, and people's income and sense of status. I think of generative AI, in particular, as a tool that reduces barriers to entry in professional services. I often compare it to what happened with Uber and taxi services. With the arrival of GPS technology, knowing the name of every street in New York City was no longer a particularly valuable skill, and then with a platform matching supply and demand, anybody could essentially get into their car who has a driver's license and top up their incomes on the side. As a result of that, incumbent drivers faced more competition, they took a pay cut of around 10 percent.Obviously, a key difference with professional services is that they're traded. So I think it's very likely that, as generative AI reduces the productivity differential between people in, let's say the US and the Philippines in financial modeling, in paralegal work, in accounting, in a host of professional services, more of those activities will shift abroad, and I think many knowledge workers that had envisioned prosperous careers may feel a sense of loss of status and income as a consequence, and I do think that's quite significant.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Episode: 1453 Christiaan and Constantijn Huygens, and John Donne.  Today, a tale of two Huygens and John Donne.

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins Brian Keating to discuss a groundbreaking observation: the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has imaged 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar visitor, from the vantage point of Mars. In this episode, we explore: • What HiRISE detected and why it matters for planetary science. • How interstellar objects like ʻOumuamua and 3I/ATLAS challenge our theories. • Why Mars may become an ideal outpost for detecting future interstellar visitors. • The implications for astrobiology, planetary defense, and our search for extraterrestrial technology. ✨ Just as the 1977 “Wow! Signal” jolted radio astronomers with a one-time unexplained burst, 3I/ATLAS may be its optical cousin—an anomalous, fleeting, but potentially transformative messenger. Loeb even calculated that 3I/ATLAS's trajectory passed within about one degree of the Wow! Signal's sky position, making the connection more than metaphorical. Ignoring such rare alignments risks repeating history: anomalies slip through our fingers while orthodoxy insists nothing unusual happened. The Wow! Signal warned us of the danger of complacency; 3I/ATLAS reminds us that cosmic surprises often lurk at the margins of expectation, carrying lessons we may miss if we force every mystery into old categories. -

In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole sits down with Brett Miller, a Marine Corps veteran, former Hollywood creative, and now a leader at Galileo, a cutting-edge satellite communications company. Together, they explore the critical role of secure communications in cybersecurity, disaster response, and everyday life. Brett shares his fascinating journey from running encrypted radio systems in the military to building an app that seamlessly bridges satellite, cellular, and AI-powered emergency planning—all designed to provide redundancy, reliability, and privacy when traditional networks fail. The conversation dives into why cell networks are increasingly unreliable, the future of wearable and embedded devices, and why CISOs must rethink their organization's communications strategies before a crisis strikes. They also tackle pressing topics like TikTok, foreign data collection, and why adversaries are targeting telecom networks over banks—making this a must-listen for cybersecurity leaders, executives, and anyone interested in the future of secure connectivity.  

This week I've been in Asia and in this podcast I describe how Japan's economic history teaches us about AI transformation in our careers and our companies. I also describe my experience using Galileo on my 7 hour flight from Japan to Singapore. Takeaways Why has Japan's economy has stagnated since the mid-80s. The aging population poses significant workforce challenges. Cultural beliefs in lifelong employment hold us back Wages in Japan are tied to tenure rather than performance. Companies must encourage experimentation to leverage AI. The integration of AI is a continuous process, not a one-time event. Access to information is revolutionizing decision-making in business. Language barriers are diminishing with technology. Embracing AI is essential for future career success.

Consider a thought experiment: one intelligence is trained exclusively on everything known about apples. Another is trained only on oranges. They are allowed to communicate but are strictly forbidden from discussing the specifics of their respective fruits. Would the apple expert learn about oranges, and vice versa? Surprisingly, the answer is almost certainly yes. Information inevitably leaks through the structure of communication itself. While their specific knowledge is specialized, they share a common linguistic framework. They both understand concepts like color, shape, growth, and climate.

In 1633, Galileo Galilei was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for teaching that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His defiance became a symbol of individual conscience against powerful institutions. On this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, we explore the history of individualism versus collectivism — from Socrates to the Stoics, from Christianity and the Reformation to Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and into the American founding. We also explore libertarian principles of ethical individualism, free speech, and personal responsibility, contrasting them with the dangers of conformity, censorship, and control inherent in collectivism.

Episode: 2510 Reason in all things: Augustine, Galileo, Collins, The Human Genome, and God.  Today, Augustine, Galileo, and the human genome.

There's a lot of certainty in scientific circles about how science and religion can't go together. In fact, consensus that empirical science has made God unnecessary, and that religion, with its strange elements of faith and ritual, is irrational and harmful.If you've been listening to our series, you'll realize we don't walk down that road. While we certainly agree that superstition and fanaticism have reared their heads in religious life, we could just as easily also ascribe those unhealthy aspects to many human institutions and schools of thought.Many of the pioneers of scientific investigation, like Galileo and Kepler and Newton, were deeply religious men after all, who embarked on a study of the natural laws under the conviction it would lead to evidence of a Divine Creator of all the phenomena in nature and the universe.Faith, for them, then, was not blind, but reasoned analysis looking to understand God's Creation rather than challenge theological understanding.On faith and the Certainty of God, in our episode today.Click here to listen to this episode.

Only six people have received The Planetary Society’s Cosmos Award for Outstanding Public Presentation of Science. We were honored to present it to author and historian Dava Sobel in May of 2025. She has created a brilliant library of books that illuminate the lives and work of great scientists, many of whom have been under-appreciated. Each of Dava’s works is also overflowing with the wonder of science and discovery. It’s no wonder we decided to feature Dava and her books in the Society book club. That month-long celebration was capped by a live, online interview conducted by Dava’s friend and fan Mat Kaplan. Here’s that conversation.

For more than four centuries, the scientific discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo, Darwin, and Freud created the impression that we could explain the workings of the Universe without the idea of a creator--God. By the beginning of the twentieth century, materialism had become the dominant theory of the time. And yet, with unexpected and astonishing force, the pendulum of science has swung back in the other direction, owing to a rapid succession of discoveries: the theory of relativity; quantum mechanics; the Big Bang; the theories of expansion, heat death, and fine-tuning of the universe.

Forget Korean Air 007: GPS was always meant for civilians.What if everything you thought you knew about GPS was wrong? Far from being a secret military tool reluctantly unlocked after tragedy in 1983, GPS was designed with civilian use in mind from the very beginning — and surveyors were using it years before most of us had heard of it.Paul Bavill welcomes writer and researcher Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones. With a unique perspective — his father, Roger Easton, is one of GPS's credited inventors — Richard debunks the biggest misconceptions about GPS and reveals the surprising story of its development.You'll discover:The Civilian Myth: Why GPS was never “military-only” — and who used it first.The Korean Airliner 007 Story: Why the 1983 tragedy did not open GPS to the world.The Lonely Halls Meeting: How the tale of GPS being “invented over a weekend” simply doesn't hold up.Selective Availability: Why the US government deliberately degraded civilian signals — and why that ended.The Bigger Picture: How GPS fits into a global system alongside GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou.Join us for a myth-busting conversation that rewrites the story of GPS, replacing legends with the truth of politics, persistence, and surprising civilian allies.

What if we could not only listen to the rest of nature, but actually understand it?From decoding whale songs to giving nature a legal voice, the possibilities are tantalising - and they may not be as far-fetched as they sound. That's why the Earth Species Project (ESP) is racing to use artificial intelligence to translate the communication of other species before they fall silent.How can this cutting edge technology analyse data that would take human researchers a lifetime? And how might findings feed into emerging ideas about ecocentric governance and earth law? We hear from ESP's Aza Raskin (Co-founder), Jane Lawton (Managing Director) and Olivier Pietquin (Chief Scientist) about this extraordinary mission, and the tools they're using to achieve the previously unimaginable.Plus, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac, and Paul Dickinson explore the promises and pitfalls of AI: its energy demands, its unpredictable impacts on democracy and capitalism, and its potential to become a ‘Galileo moment' in how humans relate to the living world.This episode features recordings of animal species - some of which were used in the training of ESP's NatureLM-Audio model.Learn more

Fr. Spitzer and Doug continue their conversation about Galileo, examining if he fully understood he did not have solid scientific proof of heliocentrism when presenting his ideas.

Today's episode is filled with the big questions of our age. These are the things that government top brass are pouring over day in, day out: Is Martin Lewis up there with Galileo and Mozart? Can you put goodwill on your shelf? And most divisively, is wee ever fine in a paddling pool?It's a show that asks questions rather than answers them, and you the you the listener are left to make up your own minds on these contentious issues.What we can guarantee, however, is wall-to-wall Elis and John certified bangers: top-tier anecdotes, a classic Cymru Connection, a wonderfully chaotic Made Up Game, and a toe-curling Oasis-based shame to round things off. Sit back and enjoy the Elis and John vibes in your area.You can get involved with this crazy old thing we call the Elis and John show by emailing elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApping 07974 293 022.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 426The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph CalasanzSaint Joseph Calasanz’ Story From Aragon where he was born in 1556, to Rome where he died 92 years later, fortune alternately smiled and frowned on the work of Joseph Calasanz. A priest with university training in canon law and theology, respected for his wisdom and administrative expertise, he put aside his career because he was deeply concerned with the need for education of poor children. When he was unable to get other institutes to undertake this apostolate at Rome, Joseph and several companions personally provided a free school for deprived children. So overwhelming was the response that there was a constant need for larger facilities to house their effort. Soon, Pope Clement VIII gave support to the school, and this aid continued under Pope Paul V. Other schools were opened; other men were attracted to the work, and in 1621 the community—for so the teachers lived—was recognized as a religious community, the Clerks Regular of Religious Schools—Piarists or Scolopi. Not long after, Joseph was appointed superior for life. A combination of various prejudices and political ambition and maneuvering caused the institute much turmoil. Some did not favor educating the poor, for education would leave the poor dissatisfied with their lowly tasks for society! Others were shocked that some of the Piarists were sent for instruction to Galileo—a friend of Joseph—as superior, thus dividing the members into opposite camps. Repeatedly investigated by papal commissions, Joseph was demoted; when the struggle within the institute persisted, the Piarists were suppressed. Only after Joseph's death were they formally recognized as a religious community. His liturgical feast is celebrated on August 25. Reflection No one knew better than Joseph the need for the work he was doing; no one knew better than he how baseless were the charges brought against him. Yet if he were to work within the Church, he realized that he must submit to its authority, that he must accept a setback if he was unable to convince authorized investigators. While the prejudice, the scheming and the ignorance of men often keep the truth from emerging for a long period of time, Joseph was convinced, even under suppression, that his institute would again be recognized and authorized. With this trust he joined exceptional patience and a genuine spirit of forgiveness. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

The war between faith and facts threatens American progress on multiple fronts. Michael Regilio dissects this age-old conflict today on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1200On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Throughout history, from Socrates to Galileo, religious authorities have consistently opposed scientific inquiry that challenges established beliefs — often with severe consequences including death and persecution.American fundamentalist Christians continue fighting evolution in schools, adopting tactics from outright bans to "creation science" to "Intelligent Design" — all repeatedly struck down by courts as unconstitutional.Religious opposition to science directly impacts public policy, hampering stem cell research, climate action, and pandemic response — with white evangelicals having the lowest COVID vaccination rates.Faith-based practices like conversion therapy cause documented psychological harm despite being condemned by all major medical associations — prioritizing religious doctrine over scientific evidence and human wellbeing.Many scientists are religious believers who see science as understanding creation, not replacing it — showing faith and science can coexist when literalism gives way to metaphorical interpretation and evidence-based thinking.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
