Her latest book is Bitch: The Journey of a Word.ย In this episode, we focus on Bitch. We start by talking about the origins of the word โ€œbitchโ€, how it relates to dog and slut, how it acquired the meaning of โ€œunpleasant womanโ€, and how meanings in general change over time. We also discuss how it has been used as a pejorative against feminists, and how the word was reclaimed by them. We talk about the sexist ideas it is associated with, how it relates to the c-word, how it is used to insult men, and how it ties to gender roles. We also talk about the expression โ€œson of a bitchโ€, and how people use the word โ€œbitchโ€ today.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOรƒO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOรƒO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOร‘O CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOรƒO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRร˜NNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTรˆS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTรNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Bad service is a brand killer. This is a controversial piece today, because I am singling out one race, one group in isolation.ย  It is also a total generalisation and there will be exceptions where what I am saying is absolute rubbish.ย  There will be other races and groups, who are equally guilty as well, who I am not singling out or covering, so I am demonstrating a blatant and singular bias. I know all that, but let the hellfire rain down on my head, I am just sick of some of this lousy service here in Tokyo.ย  It is a mystery to me how the service in some Chinese restaurants here can be so oblivious to Japanese standards of omotenashi.ย  Omotenashi is that sublime combination of anticipating and exceeding client's expectations, that has made Japanese service so famous.ย  I love Chinese cuisine and I enjoy the high quality standard of Chinese food in Japan.ย  They have the best, most expensive quality, very safe ingredients and really great Chinese chefs here. When I go to places in Tokyo like Akasaka Shisen Hanten in Hirakawacho the service is very, very good.ย  My observation is that is probably the case because the serving staff are Japanese or Chinese who have grown up here.ย  Whenever I go to some โ€œall Chineseโ€ affairs, with only Chinese staff, I find the service is disappointing.ย  I had this experience again recently in the Azabu Juban.ย  It was a first and last time to go to this particular restaurant.ย The food taste wasn't the issue, in fact some dishes were delicious.ย  It was the total disinterest on the part of the serving staff and their manager.ย  You don't feel any particular need to go back there, when there are a hundred other restaurants within a two-minute walk.ย  This makes no sense to me, because when I am Singapore, Hong Kong or Taiwan, the restaurant service is usually very good.ย  Obviously, the more expensive the restaurant, the better the service of course.ย So, there is nothing inherently missing in the service mentality and capability, that couldn't be applied in Japan.ย  Why then is it so lacking in omotenashi? I remember reading a purported Chinese saying that, โ€œA man who cannot smile, should not open a shopโ€.ย  Obviously, some of the Chinese staff working in these establishments I am complaining about, have never heard of that piece of ancient Chinese wisdom.ย  Smiling, making you feel welcome, treating you well are a big fat zero in my experience.ย  The way of serving is very perfunctory, even rough, in some cases.ย Japanese style restaurant table service is generally very much more refined.ย  What is driving this difference and what does it mean for the rest of us in the service business? Perhaps some of the Chinese staff we are seeing serving in Japan are students. According to the media reports, many are actually working almost full time.ย  They are not professionally trained service staff, in the sense that this is their career.ย  Coming from certain parts of China and from different socio-economic backgrounds, they may have had no exposure to what good levels of service looks like.ย  I went to China for the first time in January 1976 and have been back a number of times over the years.ย  I studied Chinese language, history and politics at Griffith University's Modern Asian studies faculty. I like many aspects of Chinese culture and studied Tai Qi Quan for about ten years with my excellent teacher, Cordia Chu in Brisbane, before I moved back to Japan.ย  I haven't been back to China for a while, but I don't recall the service being particularly bad when I was there last.ย  Perhaps some of these local serving staff living here in Japan only ever eat Chinese food, so they are never exposed to how Japanese restaurants serve their clients.ย I find that hard to believe though. The thing that puzzles me most is that despite the fact these Chinese staff are working in Japan and are floating in a deep ocean of omotenashi, some don't seem to picking up any ideas on how to treat their clients.ย  Why would that be?ย  The managers are also Chinese, so they are responsible for leading their staff in the restaurants.ย  Are they oblivious to the service market in Japan and how it functions?ย  Are they just poor managers, who cannot place their operation in a broader context of local service standards.ย  Are they inflexible and incapable of understanding the lifetime value of a repeater client?ย  This is a very competitive restaurant scene here, has more Michelin starred restaurants than Paris, so you would expect that everyone, including some of these Chinese run establishments, would be doing everything they can to build a loyal, repeater client base. This challenges me to consider what we are doing in our own case, with our customer facing service.ย  If I am going to bag some of the Chinese restaurant's service here in Tokyo, then I had better consider our own standards at the same time. We are a gaishikei or foreign run establishment here.ย  I am not Japanese, but I am the boss.ย  Am I operating the company service provision in terms of what I am used to in Australia, my home country?ย  Am I doing an Australian version of what some of these Chinese restaurants are doing here in Tokyo in their service business?ย  Are we in fact, providing enough omotenashi service to our own clients?ย Could we do better in this regard? I find a lot of Japanese service very polite, but also rather impersonal and almost robotic sometimes.ย  Compared to the poorer versions of some of these Chinese restaurant service offerings however, I will take the Japanese polite, impersonal, robotic option every time.ย How can we see our service businesses in a different light?ย  How can we make sure we are not only providing omotenashi levels of service, but are going beyond that, to offer a more personalised experience? Maybe we need to audit what we are doing, to see if we are missing some vital areas for improvement. I really like Elios Locanda Italian restaurant in Hanzomon, because I am treated like one of the family.ย  This is the feeling transmitted through their Japanese staff. Elio himself, is not always there, all the time, but that authentic Italian family style service is there.ย  He is setting the service standard and the Japanese staff are following it.ย  I see this example and I think to myself, โ€œit is possible to have a more personal level of service here, transmitted through your Japanese staffโ€.ย  My family and I have been regulars at Elios since we returned to Tokyo from Osaka in 2001.ย Talk about the repeater, life time value of the customer.ย  They have seen my son grow from a baby, to a young man in that time.ย  We are part of the family and this is the key - we were made to feel like that from Day One. How about your service provision standards?ย  Are you making your clients feel like part of the family?ย  What is your repeater rate?ย  How many people continue to buy from you, year after year? Are you tracking this?ย  Do you know what the average buying continuity rate is with your customers?ย When we see bad service, it is always a good reminder to make sure that what we are doing ourselves is at the required omotenashi level.ย  If you are not sure what I am talking about with this omotenashi thing, here is my recommendation. Go to a very upscale Japanese kaiseki restaurant preferably in Kyoto or a Toraiya traditional sweets shop and remind yourself what excellent service looks like. Then reflect on what you are offering in service terms. Break down your every touch point with your customers and clients and see if there isn't a lot more omotenashi that can be introduced in each case.ย  We can always learn from our own mistakes and from the mistakes of others when it comes to providing better service.ย  The point is to observe carefully, change quickly and commit to massive improvement.

Drawing on insights from business leaders and contemporary educational theory, we propose that effective safety professionals require both technical expertise and sophisticated narrative capabilities. The findings suggest significant implications for safety education and professional development, challenging institutions to reconsider how they prepare safety practitioners for increasingly complex organizational environments. Rather than perpetuating false dichotomies between hard and soft skills, we argue for an educational approach that develops both technical and narrative capabilities in an integrated manner, particularly crucial for safety change management where success depends on both procedural competence and compelling storytelling.ย Discussion Points:(00:00) Introduction - Should safety education focus on hard or soft skills?(01:04) Background - Safety Science Innovation Lab and higher education context(02:27) Hard vs Soft Skills - Discussing the limitations of this categorization(05:08) Storycraft Report - Overview and methodology of the Oxford study(15:00) Understanding Narrative - Definitions and importance in business(18:15) Three Core Business Purposes of Narrative: Communicating business values, persuasion and influence, driving and managing change(26:06) Five Essential Narrative Skills Framework: Narrative communication, empathy and perspective taking, critical analysis, creativity and imagination, digital skills(36:00) Who Needs Narrative Skills - Integration of STEM and humanities in education(40:35) Three Key Takeaways - Value of tertiary education, importance of narrative skills in safety, managing changeThe answer to our question: Should safety education focus on hard skills or soft skills? If you didn't like the question, I think you will like the answer, which is: We should stop dividing the world into hard skills and soft skills, or into STEM and into humanities.

Can Degrowth Save the Planet?

In this episode we're joined by economist Gene Tunny and activist-scholar Anitra Nelson to ask whether degrowth can save the planet, or if we should stay the current economic course. As recently as 150 years ago, pretty much everyone was living in what we'd now call extreme poverty. Thanks to capitalism, that rate is now just 9%, with a reduction of 38% in the last 30 years alone. So what's the problem? Well, for one thing, we've been plundering the natural world to fuel our growth, with little regard for its limitations. And it's come back to bite us. A regular economist might say โ€“ no problem. Let's just price in the cost of climate pollution, and natural capital, recognising that we'll need governments to take the lead. But there's a growing challenge to market-centrism from a number of movements who share a belief that a bit more government regulation is not going to get to the root of the problem; our erroneous assumption that the natural world is limitless.Degrowth argues that we can't save the planet, or end the systemic ills of capitalism like inequality, using the tools that created the problem in the first place. That our addiction to growth needs to be cut at its roots. It argues for a paradigm shift which sees wellbeing decoupled from economic growth. It envisages a different way of being, of caring and relating to each other, of flourishing itself, that's in harmony with our more noble instincts, unperverted by our current system of exploitation. BIOSGene Tunny is the Founder and Director of Adept Economics and the current President of the Queensland branch of the Economic Society of Australia. He is also an Adjunct Lecturer in economics at Griffith University and an Adjunct Fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS). He hosts the Economics Explored podcast. Gene is a former Treasury official who led teams in the Treasury's budget and industry policy divisions. Associate Professor Anitra Nelson is an activist-scholar with the Informal Urbanism Research Hub (InfUr-) at University of Melbourne. Her books include Beyond Money: A Postcapitalist Strategy (2022) and Small is Necessary: Shared Living on a Shared Planet (2018). She is co-author of Exploring Degrowth (2020) and co-editor of Post-Carbon Inclusion (2024), Housing for Degrowth: Principles, Models, Challenges and Opportunities (2018) and Food for Degrowth: Perspectives and Practices (2021).

India has only been on the periphery of Darren's professional vision since the dramatic headlines last year surrounding the killing of a Sikh activist in Canada and an indictment alleging a similar assassination attempt in the US. But 2024 has been a big year for India with its national election and PM Modi winning a 3rd term, but with a far smaller margin of victory than most expected. And with the Quad meeting recently being held in Joe Biden's home state of Delaware, now is a good time to catch up on the world's most populous country. To do that Darren invited back Ian Hall. Ian is a Professor of international relations at Griffith University and an Academic Fellow at the Australia India Institute. Darren asks what the election and post-election tell us about the trajectory of India's democracy. They discuss whether India ought to be modelled as a โ€˜normal' rising power and the nature (and limit) of China as the core organising principle of Western cooperation with India, with a focus on the Quad. Finally, they discuss the Indian diaspora in Australia. Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Corbin Duncan and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

Warwick Powell discusses the East versus West conflict which is largely a symptom of the underlying economic transformations underway. There is a massive disconnect between the economy of exchange value and use value in the West which has led to a hollowing out of the economy resulting in political crises. The Global North feel their "distributional setup" is under threat and so the only way to stem the tide is to impose a set of militarily enforceable arrangements to deny the Global South the ability to become capable of creating value. Russia and China are better at harnessing AI, particularly to drive production efficiencies. He comments on currency multipolarity, dedollarization, Digital Westphalia, and describes the suspension of liberties in the West as an autoimmune response. Regarding the Algorithm Ghetto, there is slippage meaning it can't be implemented perfectly and technology inevitably brings with it possibilities of all sorts of resistance. The West is going to step up its Color Revolution-style regime change operations. Multipolarity is about the reassertion of sovereignty and an increased interoperability of states. The world is tired of Western hegemony and now has the courage and means to confront it. The challenge will be to avoid kinetic conflict.
