If anything good came out of the Covid 19 pandemic it was the advent of remote working. For some people that means they now work from their dining room table, or spend a chunk of their work day at a coffee shop. Other people have taken the opportunity to move out of expensive big cities to places not known for advancing careers. For example, over the pandemic the beaches around Seaside and Panama City Florida grew by some 14,000 new permanent residents. And then there's a population of people who gave an even broader definition to the idea that you can work from anywhere. These folks are known as “digital nomads.” In our own small business, INO Broadcasting, our web developer lives in Lisbon, Portugal. And our researcher, Maggie Mendel, who started her digital nomad life in 2018, has worked on Out to Lunch while living in 18 countries, including Colombia, Bulgaria, Spain, Turkey, Italy, Slovenia, Portugal, and Montenegro. Today Maggie is in New Orleans. So, we're taking advantage of her brief presence back home to learn something about Digital Nomadism. There are many more employees in the world than employers. So, when we talk about the issue of work, we tend to – probably unconsciously -look at it through an employee lens. However, if you're an employer you've got a distinct set of your own problems. Two constant employer problems are - 1, employing the right person for an open position. And 2, training that person adequately so they do the job successfully, are happy doing it, and stick around. Companies in the same field are nearly always in competition with each other, so they're not sharing information about solving these problems. Hiring, training, and retention is, therefore, typically a game of hoping, and finger-crossing. That's why David DeCuir's company is doing so well. David is founder and CEO of iCan Technologies, a software company that creates technology to help employers do better than a human decoding a resume. The software gets at the hard cold facts about the true competency of a person applying for a job. iCan also creates software for training employees. And for accurately tracking whether employees are achieving the goals they're setting out to accomplish. In 1932 Aldous Huxley published a book called Brave New World. In 1949 George Orwell published a book called 1984. Both these books set a benchmark for years to come in which futurists agreed about the machine-driven lives of alienation and disconnection we were all going to experience in a profit-driven big-brother style autocracy where power seemed to have no accountability and humans had no fun. Thankfully, only some of this is coming true. We don't really know where the technology that people like David is creating is going to take us, but so far anyway it seems to be working for us rather than against us. And none of the futurists in the 20th century predicted a wholly unchained workforce who can provide research from North Macedonia for a radio show and podcast recorded in a brewery in New Orleans and heard around the world for free. It certainly is a brave new world. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom.

I first met George Friedman in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1986. George was then a Professor at the War College. A few years later he established Stratfor.com and then in 2015, GeopoliticalFutures.com. He has authored a number of books and is now writing on the future of war in space. In this podcast, we delve into a plethora of geopolitical issues and crises, including Russia, China, the U.S. and Ukraine. We look at what might be gained or lost through this country's declining armed services. And we ask whether defence should be an election issue? We reference the wisdom of George Orwell today's woke environment and we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

After nine months of traveling outside of the USA (to 17+ countries from Tromsø to Cairo), we return to take care of some things that will help us make a permanent transition to our home base in Portugal... But as usual, there are things that STAND OUT to us as we visit this country after an extended absence. In this episode, we share what those things are, and -- in the bigger picture -- why they are significant to our families, the nation, and the world as a whole.

In Episode 191 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg revisits George Orwell's first novel, Burmese Days (1935), to see if it offers any insight into the current crisis in Burma. The novel is actually problematic in its portrayal of the Burmese, but Orwell's anti-colonialist views are better articulated in his little-known 1929 essay "How a Nation is Exploited: The British Empire in Burma." Ironically, the factors he identified as necessitating "despotic" rule by the British in Burma still mandate dictatorial methods by the regime today—such as the imperative to pacify "frontier areas" where indigenous peoples wage pro-autonomy insurgencies.

On a tous déjà envié la vie de quelqu'un d'autre. Est-ce qu'en empruntant la vie de votre collègue, de votre frère, de votre cousin ou d'un ami, vous auriez été plus heureux ? Que vous veniez du même milieu socio-culturel ou éducatif, que vous ayez le même destin, ou le même signe astrologique, vous serez toujours différent de votre voisin. C'est comme ça, l'être humain est unique. Quel mystère se cache derrière ce fait incontestable ? Vous pouvez maintenant arrêter de chercher. Mon invité, le psychologue et généticien américano-britannique Robert Plomin, a trouvé la réponse : Il s'agit principalement de ce 1% de différence entre nos ADN, la force systématique majeure qui fait de nous des individus uniques. Professeur de recherche en génétique comportementale à l'Institut de psychiatrie, psychologie et neurosciences de King's College à Londres pendant 13 ans, Robert a grandi à Chicago, dans une maison où les livres étaient absents. Il a pourtant excellé à l'école. C'est dans les années 1970, à l'Université du Texas d'Austin, qu'il est tombé en admiration pour la génétique comportementale tout en étudiant la psychologie. Depuis, son travail - en grande partie basé sur les études des jumeaux - a mis en évidence à quel point les facteurs génétiques et environnementaux sont cruciaux. Mais surtout, à quel point l'ensemble de leurs interactions est déterminant. C'est pourquoi il arrive à une conclusion fascinante et excitante : connaître tout sur notre ADN et notre futur peut être un véritable moyen d'améliorer nos sociétés. En élucidant le mystère des facteurs génétiques, nous pouvons adapter notre environnement à notre ADN et devenir la version la plus saine, et peut-être la plus heureuse, de nous-même, rejetant l'idée selon laquelle il y aurait un modèle universel de réussite. Dans cet épisode, vous découvrirez : La relation entre la psychologie et la génétique ; Austin, Texas dans les années 70 ; Pourquoi rêver de devenir un champion de F1 n'était pas suffisant pour le devenir ; L'éthique de la génétique et comment la gérer de manière responsable ; Pourquoi vos enfants devraient faire ce qu'ils aiment, peu importe ce que vous pensez ; Comment votre perception des choses est en réalité une hallucination contrôlée.

Ever wondered what it's like to live another person's life but keep your own mind? What makes us so uniquely different? My guest today, psychologist and geneticist Robert Plomin, argues that it's largely due to a 1% difference in our DNA. Research Professor in Behavioural Genetics at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London for 13 years, Robert grew up in a household with “no books” in Chicago, but still excelled at school. It's in the 1970s, at the University of Texas at Austin that he falls in awe with behavioral genetics while studying psychology. Since then, his work - in great part based on twin studies - has highlighted how both genetic and environmental factors are crucial, but it's their interaction that's most determinant. That's why he comes to a fascinating and exciting conclusion: knowing everything about our DNA and our futures could improve our societies. By unlocking the secrets of our DNA, we have the power to tailor our environments for optimal health and happiness, ditching the one-size-fits-all "golden yardstick" that Robert so vehemently rejects. In this episode, you'll learn about: The relationship between psychology and genetics; Austin, Texas in the 70s; Why dreaming about becoming an F1 champion wasn't enough for him to become one; The ethics of genetics and how to handle it in responsibly; Why your children should get to do what they love, whatever you think; How your perception of things is actually a controlled hallucination. Big up to Antoine Freysz for suggesting I meet Robert!

Chapter 1 What's Amusing Ourselves to Death"Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business" is a book written by Neil Postman and published in 1985. In this book, Postman examines how the introduction of television and other forms of visual media have shaped the way we consume information and the impact it has had on public discourse and politics. He argues that television, being a medium focused on entertainment rather than education or critical thinking, has reduced the quality of public discourse and has led to a society that is more concerned with amusement and spectacle than with rational discussion and analysis. Postman's book is a critique of the effects of media and its consequential implications on our culture and society.Chapter 2 Why is Amusing Ourselves to Death Worth ReadAmusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman is a highly influential book that explores the impact of television and media on society. Published in 1985, it remains relevant today and has garnered praise for its insight and analysis. Here are some reasons why it is worth reading:1. Thought-provoking analysis: Postman provides a thought-provoking critique of the effect of television on public discourse and culture. He argues that the medium of television, due to its emphasis on entertainment and brevity, favors emotionalism and superficiality over rational and meaningful discourse. Postman's analysis encourages readers to question the nature of media and its influence on society.2. Historical examination: The book explores the historical context of media and the shift from print culture to television culture. Postman traces the evolution of media and discusses how it has shaped public discourse over time. This historical perspective helps readers better understand the influence of media on society today.3. Prophecy and foresight: Many readers appreciate Postman's ability to predict and anticipate the impact of television and media on social and political life. With the rise of 24-hour news cycles, reality TV, and the influence of social media, Postman's warnings about the erosion of public discourse and the dominance of entertainment-oriented media have proved prescient.4. Engaging writing style: Despite discussing serious and complex topics, Postman's writing is engaging and accessible. He uses vivid examples, anecdotes, and cultural references to illustrate his arguments, making it an enjoyable read for anyone interested in media, culture, and society.5. Relevance to contemporary society: While written in the 1980s, Amusing Ourselves to Death remains highly relevant in the digital age. The book raises important questions about the role and influence of media on society, particularly regarding the internet, social media platforms, and the digitalization of information. Its central arguments continue to resonate and prompt reflection on the impact of media on cultural and public life.Overall, Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death is worth reading for its enduring relevance, compelling analysis, and engaging writing style. It offers critical insights into the influence of media on society and encourages readers to critically examine their media consumption and its effects.Chapter 3 Amusing Ourselves to Death Summary"Amusing Ourselves to Death" is a book by Neil Postman that argues how communication media has transformed public discourse and influenced the way society thinks and behaves.Postman begins by comparing two dystopian visions portrayed in novels: George Orwell's "1984" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." While Orwell's novel depicts a society controlled by an oppressive government, Huxley's novel portrays a society...

A detective and a scholar tackle the question: why are we all so obsessed with crime stories? --- “When I was a child, not everything was a detective story. Now it is, on television. And it's almost as if we all want to know, we want to know the big question: who did it??”  Judging by the perennial popularity of detective novels and crime shows, and the current wave of true crime podcasts, it's not a stretch to call our culture murder-obsessed. Why are these stories so fascinating to us? Is there something wrong with us? It's a topic writers have long been drawn to, in essays like George Orwell's “Decline of the English Murder” and W. H. Auden's “The Guilty Vicarage”. In this episode of Life & Faith, Natasha Moore speaks with literary scholar and theologian Alison Milbank about the hold these stories have over us – and also Jim Warner Wallace, who's been dealing with the real thing for decades in his work as a cold case detective.  “When you knock on the door of the neighbour of a serial killer, they're likely to say, ‘Oh I'm so glad you're taking that guy to jail, that guy is crazy – I mean it smells bad over there, there's all kinds of weird noises, he's always digging holes in his backyard' … When you think of my kinds of cases, you knock on the neighbour's door and tell them ‘I'm taking your neighbour to jail for this case from 30 years ago', they'll generally say, ‘No, I've known that guy for 30 years, he's a great guy. No way could he have done that.'” From our deepest convictions about human nature to how you can tell if a suspect might be lying, this episode delves into the appeal of the murder mystery, and also unfolds the surprising story of how Jim came to apply his particular skill-set to the truth claims of the Christian faith.  “All of my cases, I call these ‘death by a thousand paper cuts' – cases where you've got 80 pieces of evidence that point to this suspect. Any one of those pieces of evidence I'm not sure I would want to go to trial with … but when you have all 80 and they point to the same reasonable inference, this is now heavy and weighty. And that's where I was with the Gospels.”  — Reading mentions: George Orwell, “Decline of the English Murder” W. H.

Anna Funder's Wifedom: Mrs Orwell's Invisible Life is, ostensibly, a biography of Eileen Blair, nee Eileen O'Shaughnessy, aka the first Mrs George Orwell. And indeed, Anna tells Eileen's story beautifully, using Eileen's own words from letters to friends and to her husband, with added judicious fiction, as she imagines scenes from the Orwells' lives, and from Eileen's life. Turns out, Eileen played a vital role in Orwell's writing and in his life (in actually saving his life – and indeed in keeping alive many others during the Spanish Civil War) and yet she's mostly absent from Orwell's own writing and from his biographies, which are all written by men.And so, as well as shining a light on one woman's hitherto hidden life, Wifedom is also a polemic against the patriarchy and an examination of what it meant and means to be a wife. In this Chops, Mick chats to Anna about all of this, about wife-ing, about Eileen, about Orwell, and, not unrelated to that last name, a lot about arseholes.

Ni en sus peores pesadillas habría podido George Orwell imaginar un control tan férreo de la información. Aquí no se mueve casi nadie, ni dice una palabra disonante fuera del discurso oficial. Todo es felicidad y alegría, y los temas espinosos acaban arrumbados en la esquina de un cajón cerrado con siete llaves. Y si alguien osase salirse del guion preestablecido, rápidamente llega la brigada de control de daños, a las órdenes del Señor Lobo, para que no quede ni rastro y todo vuelva a ser maravilloso.

"To a life ideal. To the belief in loyalty, to the belief in comradeship, to the conviction that nothing comes of any relationship except through the sacrifice of the unimportant; to the belief that there is something in you greater than you – some passion for truth; some destiny to be the medium for that truth; some call to be the expression of the discontent and the aspiration of your country…To that I swear loyalty"   --The journalist Dorothy Thompson in a letter to her soon-to-be husband Sinclair Lewis who would go on to write It Can't Happen Here inspired by her urgent reporting on the rise of the Nazis, both abroad and at home   This is an excerpt of Andrea Chalupa taking the Gaslit Nation Self Care Q&A.

Hello to you listening in Holland, Michigan!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga  All great stories start with simple words. For example:“Here is a small fact. You are going to die.” [The Book Thief by Markus Zusak]“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” [1984 by George Orwell]“This is the story of a man named Eddie and it starts at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It may seem strange to start a story with an ending, but all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.” [The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom]What's happening here? It could be the “sorcery of stories.” Practically speaking it's how each writer imagined a scene, combined the words - simple words - and made their story one of a kind.Practical Tip: Sit yourself in a comfortable spot with some blank pieces of paper and a few colored markers. Breathe, gaze off into space, imagine a scene. With all the intention of a playful experiment begin to doodle with simple word images to start your great story with that scene.And, if you would like a hand up to clarify your ideas and language, signal me.

In this episode, we philosophize (are you surprised?) about observations we've been making for the past decade or more as we've read, studied, and traveled to 50+ countries. It's kind of like putting together a puzzle. You take one piece after another and see where they fit and little by little a picture begins to emerge. In this case, the picture that's forming shows the current state of the world and the impending disasters that seem to lurk around the bend. We expound on a few of them, get angry about a few others, rant and rave a little, and then share strategies to help protect yourself and your family. We may not be able to stop the avalanche of disaster, but we can get out of the way. We also open up about our own fears in 'speaking up' or speaking out -- and the necessity for ALL of us to raise our voices. Because all that's required for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing.

On this episode, we were joined by Anna Funder, acclaimed author of "Stasiland', to discuss her new book 'Wifedom,' which invites us into the mind of George Orwell's first wife Eileen O'Shaughnessy, who's talent, creative intelligence, and fascinating personal history were essential to the creation of 'Animal Farm' and '1984' – all without credit in Orwell's previous biographies. In addition to discussing the marriage of Eileen and George Orwell, Anna also touches upon her own marriage; the difficulties of juggling the competing responsbilities of being a writer, mother, and wife, and the inevitable compromises that women make as a consequence of social structures which govern our society. This episode was hosted by Ryan and his wife, Emily Rushton, a teacher and Doctoral Researcher at the University of Cambridge, who was finally given a public forum to take the piss out of her husband. Warning: The following conversation includes discussions around sexual violence. This may be distressing for some listeners.

Anna Funder on unearthing the story of the talented and determined Eileen O'Shaughnessy, George Orwell's first wife

On the August 10 edition of #TheWorldAccordingToBenStein, we continue our exploration of the death of American common sense. As the country turns upside, the liberals persist in their persecution of former President Donald J. Trump. News that the special congressional committee that “investigated” the events of January 6, 2021 destroyed more than half the evidence it collected – despite an order from incoming Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Ca., to preserve it all – has landed with a thud. Where are the Republicans who should be calling for an investigation of the so-called investigators? Have the things George Orwell foreshadowed in his landmark literary classic 1984 begun to come to pass?

States want to dominate the narrative with their version of events. There are two basic models. One follows Aldous Huxley, the other George Orwell. The latter is best known for 1984. Big Brother is brutal. He wields a big stick while Huxley uses a much softer carrot. Censorship is self-imposed because the journalist knows the boundaries of permissible thought. Essential assumptions are embedded unconsciously so they don't even rise to the level of being challenged. The Huxley model is more subtle and relies on persuasion and getting people to focus on trivialities. Orwell is straight-out coercion. Sing the tune I've told you to or else. Recorded at First Parish Church at an event marking the 25th anniversary of South End Press.

In this fiery show, Monica uses a famous quote from George Orwell to set the current leftist revolutionary movement in context - and she blows apart the weaponized lawfare against Donald Trump and America Firsters of all stripes.
