Roleplaying games and the Marvel universe may be fictional, but they can also teach us a lot about morality in the real world. Christopher Robichaud is a Lecturer in Ethics and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. In this episode, he shares ways we can explore important, everyday issues in fun, safe, and unexpected ways. Christopher has made a career out of teaching ethics and philosophy using pop culture, dissecting moral questions using anything from zombie apocalypse simulations to superhero narratives. He received his doctorate in philosophy from MIT. In 2015 he won the Innovation in Teaching Award at the Harvard Kennedy School for creating a day-long simulation--using design elements from old school tabletop roleplaying games like D&D--where policy students wielded their leadership skills and confronted ethical dilemmas to deal with a zombie pandemic.

His larger point is that the Dunning Kruger effect is not a partisan trait. Hawk argues it shows up just as often on the left as on the right, and he pushes back on the idea that acknowledging hard truths and respecting expertise are somehow in conflict.On the Clancy case itself, Hawk holds two things at once. He says the expanded public conversation about postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis is genuinely valuable, while also insisting the three children who died deserve to be remembered. He restates his view that the case was overcharged and reads as a not guilty by reason of insanity matter, even as the evidence points to Clancy rather than her husband.

This episode is sponsored by Revelation Gold Group – Democrats in Congress opposed a resolution to set the number of US Supreme Court justices at the current nine seats. But they also oppose expanding the court while Repubicans are in control of the House, Senate, and White House. So, it seems like they are actually looking to pack the court when they take control of those branches of government. Which made me wonder: Does Roy Cooper support this? We don't know because his website makes no mention of it. And reporters don't ask. Also, does he support socialism? His fellow Democrats also opposed that resolution this week. Maybe a reporter could get around to asking that, too.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerCheck out my preferred gold & silver company: Revelation Gold GroupHelp support Pete's Walk to End Alzheimers here.All the links to Pete's Prep are free!

Government contracting overhead management is where most small business contractors silently lose profit, and West Edwards breaks down the exact above-the-line and below-the-line system he uses to protect margins and keep his doors open at any revenue level. West is a roofing and loan services contractor who has watched a $100 million company collapse in three weeks because the owner never controlled overhead, and he shares the budget math that prevents it. He walks through how to separate true cost of goods from fixed G and A expenses on your P and L, why your overhead percentage climbs the moment you miss your general revenue target, and how to set a budget number you can actually reach instead of a wishful sales goal. If you are bidding federal work and wondering why revenue keeps coming in but net keeps shrinking, this episode gives you the framework to stop the bleed before it starts.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Sponsor: Mendi Media 00:49 Show intro 01:14 West Edwards intro and background 01:35 Job costing every contract 02:02 Setting a realistic budget vs a sales goal 03:04 The $10M example: stacking your team's numbers 03:43 Budget vs sales goal distinction 04:06 Above the line: cost of goods defined 05:22 Below the line: G and A overhead defined 06:14 Why 70/30 is the margin benchmark 07:23 What happens when you miss general revenue 08:22 The $100M company that collapsed in three weeks 09:31 One piece of advice: set a budget you can reach   Market Intelligence gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) reads his Bits About Money essay on the business of wallets, with new commentary, prompted by paying his barber $100 over Venmo and wondering why PayPal so badly wants to be in the middle of that transaction. He walks through the economics that make wallets irresistible to anyone already moving money for users: funds enter the ecosystem at card interchange rates, move inside it at the cost of a database transaction, and get topped up over ACH pulls that cost about five cents at scale. From there he covers co-branded debit and credit cards, the loss-sharing language in PayPal's 10-K, Apple's 15 basis points on Apple Pay, and why a checkout page crowded with payment buttons starts to look like advertising inventory.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/everyone-wants-to-be-your-wallet/–Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

Welcome back to This Person I Met! My name is Kayla, and I'm the host of this podcast. Especially within my generation, I can feel a divide forming; one that has always existed but is becoming especially apparent as politics and society continuously exacerbate it. That divide being the debate of whether or not religion should play a role in higher institutions, and especially in political spaces. On one hand, religion is an inevitable part of people's worldview and who they are, something that is always going to be represented in politics. On another hand, religion is not everybody's worldview, and a neutral ground where no religion is involved is just as necessary. This past month, I met with Deborah, a pastor at The Church of the Good Shepherd in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In this first segment, we discuss the secularization of American society, right-wing Christian Nationalism, and most importantly, the delicate balance between church and state. Without further ado, here's Deborah.

Markets are digesting shifting expectations for the Federal Reserve, stubbornly high interest rates, and continued uncertainty surrounding Iran. Doug and Greg discuss why government debt, not 5% interest rates, may be the bigger concern, how higher yields are changing the bond market, and why geopolitical tensions haven't derailed stocks. Plus, they look at what prediction markets are saying about the upcoming midterm elections, explain why politics shouldn't dictate your long-term investment strategy, and the good news behind interest rates. Key Takeaways 00:02 — The markets react to the Fed 03:00 — Government spending & the cost of debt 05:05 — Are 5% interest rates really that high? 08:10 — Households are in better shape than governments 09:30 — Iran's impact on rates, oil, & inflation 15:43 — What prediction markets say about the midterms 19:26 — Why politics shouldn't change your portfolio 20:36 — The good news about 5% bond yields View Transcript Connect with our hosts Doug Stokes Greg Stokes Stokes Family Office Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify lagniappe.stokesfamilyoffice.com Disclosure The information in this podcast is educational and general in nature and does not take into consideration the listener's personal circumstances.

They bounce from Operator Training Summit updates and deliberate training to beards, uniforms, recruiting hype, Special Reconnaissance misinformation, and why accuracy matters more than motivation. They break down why scale matters in the U.S. military, why influencers selling fantasy jobs are doing real damage, and why being an extension of a capability isn't the same as being the capability. Add in AI, psyops, SMUs, deterrence, and why some truths will never be public—and you get a classic Ones Ready reminder: the job is harder, messier, and more professional than the internet wants it to be.⏱️ Revised Timestamps (unchanged, attribution corrected):00:00 Ones Ready intro and attributes-based reality02:30 OTS updates and deliberate training explained06:30 “Hazing” vs skill building09:00 Scale problems: U.S. vs partner nations13:40 Beards, uniforms, and morale myths18:50 Fitness standards and readiness23:30 Recruiting hype and false expectations28:40 Special Reconnaissance misinformation34:30 Accuracy vs motivation reels40:30 SMUs, CQB, and why you won't see it46:00 Venezuela, psyops, and deterrence51:30 AI, Grok, and truth vs narrative57:30 Government contracts and incentives01:03:00 Why transparency has limits01:08:30 Final thoughts for membersSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Separating fact from fiction is supposedly more difficult than ever. Especially now that artificial intelligence can manufacture photographs, imitate voices, and produce video of politicians saying things they never said. Although, to be fair, Joe Biden spent four years producing videos of himself saying things no one understood. No artificial intelligence required. Occasionally, no recognizable intelligence required. And the technology will only get better. That means our ability to distinguish truth from fiction had better get better, too. So, trust your training. Trust your instincts. Trust your gut. And sadly, I have considerably more gut to trust these days. I have excuses, of course. Every man with a growing waistline has excuses. We don't gain weight—we accumulate mitigating circumstances. My wife endured a medical issue that lasted more than a year, which disrupted our lives and kept me from getting to the gym. Then came the medical bills, the stresses of life, and a few other unexpected hitches. Life happened. But I endured, just as you endure. Because we are warriors. Patriots. People willing to tolerate inconvenience, sacrifice comfort, and occasionally loosen a belt buckle for the cause. Over the past decade, conservatives trained for the Olympics of politics. We studied the issues. We researched the candidates. We watched the hearings. We tracked the money. We learned about ballot harvesting, censorship, lawfare, intelligence agencies, nonprofit networks, and government corruption. Meanwhile, the Left didn't train for the Olympics. They fixed the judges, changed the scoring system, disqualified the competition, and then gave themselves participation trophies for courage. They sat around eating bonbons and drinking Kool-Aid while we sweated and toiled. But all that training paid off. The media can no longer fool us—not the way they once did. Smooth-talking politicians can't dazzle us with polished speeches and focus-grouped phrases. Government bureaucrats can't simply announce, “We investigated ourselves and found ourselves magnificent.” We know the truth the Leftist-controlled government never wanted ordinary Americans to discover: They lie. They lie about crime. They lie about the economy. They lie about race. They lie about elections. They lie about men becoming women. They lie about the border while millions of illegal aliens walk across it. And then, when the consequences arrive, they tell us not to believe our lying eyes. For years, our vote-counting system became an illusion, and with it, our belief that the people running the country were protecting our investment in America. They weren't protecting it. They allowed practically anybody to take advantage of us. Foreign governments, illegal immigrants, corrupt contractors, political nonprofits, race hustlers, gender hustlers, climate hustlers—and every other hustler with a grant application and a Democratic voter-registration form. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much.

What if inflation has been running lower than the number the Federal Reserve has been watching?Recent research and upcoming methodology changes suggest that certain categories within the PCE inflation measure may have been overstating inflation.And that matters because PCE is one of the key inflation measures the Federal Reserve watches when making decisions about interest rates. In this week's The Brief, Kenny Simpson breaks down:• Why the inflation number may be overstated• The difference between PCE and CPI• What categories are creating the discrepancy• How portfolio management fees are being measured• How software and other services can affect the inflation calculation• What changes are being made to the methodology• How much core PCE could potentially change• Why this matters to the Federal Reserve• What it could mean for mortgage rates and interest ratesKenny discusses research from the Cleveland Fed, San Francisco Fed, Federal Reserve Board staff and others that has examined these measurement issues. But does this mean the Fed is suddenly going to start cutting rates?Not necessarily.There are still major factors affecting the rate outlook, including geopolitical uncertainty, the labor market, consumer spending, inflation and broader economic conditions. The bigger question is this:If inflation has been overstated, have interest rates been higher than they needed to be?Watch the full episode for Kenny's breakdown.

Drawing a line back to 2020 and the stretch between election night and January 6th, Hawk argues the difference now is planning. He points to reporting that ICE is building a multimillion dollar national voter database, to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin saying agents could appear at polling places, and to a New York Times account of federal agents combing state voter rolls without warrants. The warning extends past election day. Hawk lays out the Senate and House math, the risk that batches of mail ballots from Democratic cities could be thrown out, the Tarrant County move to close polling sites, and the January 3rd handoff when a House clerk could shape who gets seated. His closing point is blunt: the courts are the last line, and they may not move fast enough.

Shortly after retaking office, President Trump signed executive orders reorienting the federal government’s approach to civil rights. Those orders directed agencies to identify and eliminate unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and other practices involving race- or sex-based discrimination, while emphasizing equal treatment, individual merit, and nondiscrimination. In April of last year, Executive Order 14281 (Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy) went further, announcing a policy to "eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts to the maximum degree possible" — placing renewed focus on one of the oldest and most consequential debates in antidiscrimination law.Join us for a webinar that examines how the administration’s civil rights agenda is being implemented across the federal government.Featuring:Hon. Brittany Bull Panuccio, Commissioner, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity CommissionHon. Craig Trainor, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban DevelopmentHon. Devon Westhill, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Agriculture(Moderator) Hon. Ken Marcus, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law

Washington has always been skilled at confusing an announcement with an accomplishment. President Trump's new Venezuelan oil agreement sounds impressive: American control over billions of barrels, lower gasoline prices, and new supplies for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Then reality intrudes. Venezuelan crude resembles tar more than Texas oil, thecountry's infrastructure is collapsing, and its government has a long history of confiscating foreign investments. A press release cannot repair pipelines, restore the electrical grid, or manufacture the rule of law. Government confidence becomes more troubling when it turnsfrom controlling oil to controlling information. Samuel Tunick returned from the Dominican Republic carrying a cellphone that federal agents wanted to search. He gave them a duress code that erased the device. Now he faces a felony charge for destroying property to prevent a lawful seizure. That word, “lawful,” carries nearly the entire case. The federal government possesses broad authority at theborder, and deliberately wiping a phone after agents seize it can look remarkably like shredding documents while investigators stand at the door. Yet a modern cellphone is not ordinary luggage. It can reveal years of correspondence, medical information, financial records, movements, associations, and political beliefs. The constitutional protections attached to that digital life may currently depend upon whether your airplane lands in Atlanta, Boston, or Seattle. Then there is the Lindsey Clancy trial, or more precisely, what the public reaction to it reveals. The arguments spreading across social media have moved far beyond one defendant, one tragedy, or one disputed psychiatric condition. They have become arguments about women, voting, abortion, mental illness, tyranny, and whether American society remains capable of rational judgment. This episode of Plausibly Live considers what happens when complicated realities encounter institutions and citizens desperate for easy certainty. Oil cannot be governed by press release. Privacy cannot depend entirely upon geography. Human tragedy cannot be understood through slogans,hashtags, or the most unhinged opinions offered by strangers at two in the morning.#PlausiblyLive #DaveBowmanShow #FourthAmendment #DigitalPrivacy #BorderSearches #CellphonePrivacy #VenezuelanOil #GovernmentPower #ConstitutionalRights #CivilLiberties

We start the show discussing the post-9/11 flying situation, and end the show recommending a new documentary on Disney+ about those who survived it. But for the most part, today we're talking about life & consequences of bad decisions. And good decisions too!
