The highly anticipated "F1: The Movie" is set for release next week, boasting an impressive 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Actor Brad Pitt was seen driving a 2023 MCL60 at COTA, adding to the film's buzz , and the F1 director has teased a "Days of Thunder" crossover as a potential sequel concept. Veteran driver Fernando Alonso has achieved a remarkable milestone, having started an astounding 35.7% of all F1 Grand Prix races in history. Young talents Dino Beganovic and Alex Dunne are set to gain valuable experience in Free Practice 1 (FP1) at Austria, stepping in for Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, respectively. In organizational news, the FIA has restructured, resulting in the dismissal of Sara Mariani, its Head of Sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion. Istanbul race organizers have publicly stated their readiness to host a Grand Prix if the new Madrid circuit isn't completed for the 2026 season. Liberty Media has received unconditional approval to acquire MotoGP, with the deal expected to finalize by July 3, 2025. James Vowles has signed a new long-term deal with the Williams Formula 1 team, seen by drivers like Alex Albon as a powerful "vote of confidence". The podcast also features an in-depth look at the Austrian Grand Prix's rich and varied history across multiple venues, from the Zeltweg Airfield to the current Red Bull Ring. Max Verstappen has notably dominated at the Red Bull Ring in recent years, securing multiple victories. The 2024 Austrian Grand Prix saw a dramatic race where George Russell secured victory for Mercedes after a collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who were fiercely battling for the lead. Ferrari's 2025 underperformance is primarily attributed to a fundamental issue with their car's design, specifically its difficulty in running very low to the ground without incurring excessive plank wear in high-speed corners. Both Ferrari and Red Bull are anticipated to introduce substantial upgrades to their cars, with a particular focus on the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix. Key talking points for the upcoming weekend include whether Max Verstappen can reassert dominance on his home turf, Mercedes' momentum after Russell's 2024 win, McLaren's superior tire management, the impact of Ferrari's upgrades, potential track limits issues, and the performance of junior drivers in FP1.

Despite decades of effort and innovation since the groundbreaking To Err is Human report over 25 years ago, preventable harm in healthcare persists, and violence against healthcare workers continues to rise. With record understaffing, burnout, mandatory overtime, and mounting documentation demands, the pressure to provide safe care has never been higher nor the stakes more urgent. In this first episode of our new series focusing on safety in healthcare, we explore a bold shift toward "total systems safety" with two leaders at the forefront of this movement who know these challenges all too well. Patricia McGaffigan, RN, MS, CPPS, Senior Advisor for Patient and Workforce Safety at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and President of the Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety, and Donald Berwick, MD, MPP, FRCP, President Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Together, they continue to shape national safety efforts including IHI's Safer Together: National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety the first public-private collaboration of its kind. Spearheaded by McGaffigan and bringing together 27 major organizations that had never collaborated before. The plan aims to restructure the very foundation of healthcare, building safety into every level of the system around four interlocking pillars. Leadership & Governance: Strong, visible leadership and policies that make safety a strategic priority. Workforce Safety & Well-Being: Protecting nurses and healthcare workers – physically and mentally – so they can care safely for others. Patient & Family Engagement: Partnering with patients and family caregivers as co-designers of safe care. Learning Systems: Creating feedback loops and continuous improvement so lessons from one hospital spread everywhere. At the heart of this movement is a truth long understood by nurses: safety is not a checklist or a policy, it's a culture, a commitment, and a collective responsibility. As Patricia McGaffigan reminds us, “You can't have patient safety if you don't have a safe workforce.” And as Don Berwick warns, “The illusion that safety is a matter of individual effort is one of the most toxic notions in the whole safety enterprise. It is we, not me.” Nurses have always led by example, holding space for healing while navigating broken systems. Now, their leadership is essential in building the future of healthcare safety: one that protects not only patients, but the people who care for them. Where healthcare is not only safer, but also is a culture that ensures we're all Safer Together.

“Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and the power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God.” - Ecclesiastes 5:19What if true joy doesn't come from gaining more, but from gratefully receiving what God has already provided? Today, John Cortines joins us to explore what he calls the Cycle of Grateful Living—and how it transforms our approach to money and contentment.John Cortines is the Director of Grantmaking at The Maclellan Foundation. He is the author of our new study on the book of Ecclesiastes, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money, as well as the co-author of God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School and True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart.The Heart of Ecclesiastes: Joy as a GiftEcclesiastes 5:18–20 forms the foundation of our new Wisdom Over Wealth study:“It is good and fitting to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil... this is God's gift to man... God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.” - Ecclesiastes 5:18–20These verses, nestled within the longest section on money in the book, offer a radical invitation: rather than striving for more, we're called to enjoy what we've already received. Even the ability to enjoy life's blessings is a divine gift.Introducing the Cycle of Grateful Living: E.A.T.To help us live out this vision, here's a simple acronym from Ecclesiastes 5:19: E.A.T.—Enjoy, Accept, Toil.Enjoy God's ProvisionEverything we have—our wealth, relationships, health, and even the capacity to enjoy them—is a gift from God. Acknowledging this turns entitlement into gratitude and replaces striving with trust. Accept Life's BrevityEcclesiastes frequently reflects on death, not to breed fear, but to awaken us to the preciousness of life. Acceptance of our limits and mortality grants deeper purpose and contentment in the present moment. Toil with JoyWork is not something to escape from. Ecclesiastes calls us to rejoice in our toil. True fulfillment isn't found in early retirement or unending leisure, but in the meaningful work God places before us.What Gets in the Way?Gratitude can often feel elusive in the routines of everyday life. Often, we slip into discontent when we:Take God's provision for grantedIgnore life's brevity and live mindlesslyComplain about work instead of finding purpose in itThe world's promises—especially those of financial independence or early retirement (FIRE)—can become mirages. We've probably all been there, dreaming that if we work hard and save enough, we will someday be free. But that vision of life can be so hollow because the human condition is to be oriented to purpose, to work. Even if you're retired, it's not so you can sit on a beach for 20 years.We were made to participate in God's creative, redemptive work. That's why embracing our toil with joy brings far more satisfaction than escaping it.Wealth Without Joy: A Modern ParadoxWhile many of us live more comfortably than royalty of past centuries—with cars, clean water, air conditioning, and vacations—anxiety and discontent remain widespread.Billionaires are often no happier than the rest of us. Without a grateful heart, even abundance can feel empty.The Cycle of Grateful Living isn't just about how much we have—it's about how we relate to what we have. It teaches us to stop chasing wealth and start engaging with it through the lens of joy, acceptance, and purpose.From Ecclesiastes to Jesus: A Unified MessageJesus echoes the wisdom of Ecclesiastes in Luke 12. He reminds us of the birds and flowers—simple creatures that don't worry, yet are lovingly provided for by God.“Consider the lilies, how they grow... If God so clothes the grass... how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!” - Luke 12:27–28James 1:10–11 also makes a similar connection where riches are likened to wildflowers—beautiful for a moment, but quickly fading. The message is clear: our time is brief, but God is faithful.So, how should we respond? By living present to God's provision, content in our limitations, and faithful in our work.Ecclesiastes 5:20 offers a powerful conclusion:“He will not much remember the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.”What does this look like practically? It's about presence. A life that's not dominated by worry or comparison, but one that's centered on Jesus. It's a heart too full of gratitude to be caught up in regret.Invite Jesus Christ into this moment. Ask for help to enjoy what He's provided, to accept this season, and to do today's work with joy.Every generation has had its turn. Ours is now. The call of Ecclesiastes is to live wisely in the present, not with frantic striving, but with deep joy, humble acceptance, and faithful effort.We're like the birds and flowers. Here for a precious moment, sustained by the generous hand of God. Let's embrace the Cycle of Grateful Living.Want to Go Deeper?If you're ready to experience joy in the everyday and live a grateful life rooted in God's wisdom, check out Wisdom Over Wealth, written by John Cortines.

This one's personal. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes into a very real, very raw moment I had with my guides, specifically my main chick, Athena. This wasn't some magical, ethereal, angelic encounter. It was messy. Honest. Human. You'll hear the actual dialogue I had with them during a journal session where I was questioning everything. My business, my next steps, my identity, my income, and whether I was even on the right path. If you've ever tried to trust the universe while simultaneously wanting to scream “WHERE'S MY MONEY?!”, this one's for you. I talk about: What it's really like to let go of control (not just the Instagram version) And what my guides had to say about clients, money, my voice, and what's coming next Other episodes you might like: 246: The Secret to Seeing More Signs & Synchronicities 207: Miracles or Coincidences: Your Choice! 192: Mastering Patience For Manifestation Work 1:1 with Renee!

Ever heard the phrase “may you live in interesting times?” Seems applicable these days. And it's causing a lot of people to live with a constant feeling of anxiety that nags at you, sapping at your energy throughout the day, so by bedtime, you're exhausted but still can't sleep. Financial stress is a primary source. According to an April 2025 survey, fewer than 45% of Americans say they're in better than fair shape financially. Which means more than 50% are not ok. Well, there's a good chance that it's not your fault. Because many Americans did not grow up with the family support to develop financial literacy from a young age. Maybe you were told family finances were “none of your business.” Layer on top that often parents and grandparents didn't have a strong financial foundation of understanding to start with either. Anders Jones has been taking matters around this topic into his own hands ever since a series of twists and turns brought him into what he and his mother jokingly call "the family business", even though the family doesn't have a business and they never worked together.Growing up, Anders was fortunate to not really want for much of anything. His mom worked at Fidelity and helped millions of Americans prepare for retirement. His stepdad was a British guy who gifted him his first car, complete with a single CD disc changer and two requirements.Graduating college in 2009, at the height of a financial crisis, he didn't have a whole lot of prospects for becoming an investment banker or going into private equity. So he joined a Web 2.0 company owned by a serial entrepreneur whose method was to hire young, promising talent and empower them to figure things out. After a while, they sold the company. Since then, he's become involved with several ventures, including co-founding a financial planning firm called Facet.Now, Anders says that he feels so fortunate that if he were to die and be reincarnated, he'd want to come back as himself. That's not something many people would say. So at what moment did the boomerang whack him in the face and show him why Fine Is a 4-Letter Word?Well hang on, because when you meet Anders, you'll find out that this time, it's you, the listener, for whom things are not "fine". Up until now, you've been told that money is a taboo topic. Up until now, you've been told to trust your gut, then gotten lambasted when you did and things didn't work out as planned. It's time for new conversations on a lot of topics. Anders is going to get us started on three - gratitude, mindfulness, and financial literacy. There's a reason he picks three, which you'll also find out. Anders' hype song is “Riding With The King” by B.B. King & Eric Clapton.Resources:Anders Jones' website: https://facet.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anders-jones/ Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to...

In episode 206, Coffey talks with Jill Koob about the Supreme Court decision on “reverse discrimination,” PTO policy trends, and AI adoption in the workplace. They discuss the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services eliminating different standards for "reverse discrimination" cases; how Title VII protects all individuals equally regardless of majority or minority status within protected classes; the challenges and failures of unlimited PTO policies leading employees to take less time off; new flexible PTO approaches allowing conversion to cash, student loan payments, or 401k contributions; mitigating bias in the employee selection process; why diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives should focus on business outcomes and widening candidate pools; the evolution of AI from individual productivity tools to organizational workforce transformation; the need for employees to actively learn and adopt AI tools to remain competitive; and how AI can handle transactional HR tasks while freeing professionals to focus on more strategic human-centered work.

Daily Dose of Hope June 26, 2025 Scripture – Matthew 18:1-20 Prayer: Lord Jesus, We rejoice in you. We praise your name. You are the Alpha and the Omega, the one who was, and is, and is to come. We cannot possibly express our gratitude in words. You have offered us mercy but you have also given us freedom. Thank you for that. Help us live like free people. Help us demonstrate your love and grace to others who cross our path. Help us see people through your eyes. We love you, Lord. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Happy Thursday! I want you to mark your calendars for the New Hope worship night, which is tomorrow at 7:30pm in the sanctuary. This will be time of amazing praise and worship, as well as prayer and commissioning of the Ireland young adult mission team. Hope to see you there! Today, we are diving into Matthew 18, the first twenty verses. The text starts with the disciples asking who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus totally redirects this! He gets the focus off the disciples and their own need for honor and puts it on the most vulnerable in their community. Children at that time had no status, little value, and zero control over their lives. Something like half of all children died before reaching adulthood. Knowing all of that, Jesus tells his disciples that the one who becomes humble and “weak” like this child will be the greatest in the Kingdom. In fact, unless they become like vulnerable little children, they won't even be able to enter the Kingdom. This is the total opposite of the honor and status that the disciples were wanting. What is Jesus doing here? He is placing the most powerless members of their society at the center. Welcoming vulnerable children means welcoming Jesus. And Jesus says that there are few fates worse than harming them or causing them to sin. Then, Jesus says that there are many things in this world that can cause others to stumble. Human beings take advantage of one another. The powerful abuse the powerless. But Jesus' warning here is pretty strong. Woe to the person who harms those who are weak and powerless, such as children. His language then echoes the Sermon on the Mount. It's better to gouge out an eye or cut off a limb than to allow those things to cause you to sin and harm a powerless one. As I reread this, I couldn't help but think about all the children that are harmed. Around the globe, something like three million children are trafficked each year, forced into forced labor, sexual exploitation, or child marriage. In the United States, for which it is easier to get data, roughly 20,000 children are trafficked each year. Almost 600,000 children in the U.S. experience abuse and/or neglect every year. While the situation is certainly complicated, children aren't being protected. And then there are other groups who are highly vulnerable, such as the elderly, the desperately poor, and the homeless. This is pretty strong teaching here and it gives us practical examples of how to live in Christian community, solidly grounded in Jesus. We are to set aside power, protect the vulnerable and those the rest of society neglects, and search for the lost sheep (as we read in the next portion of Scripture). Jesus is all about protecting those who can't protect themselves and seeking out those who are lost. The question is – are we? I worry that we often focus on things that just aren't that important. We worry about ourselves. We worry about inward-focused things in the church. We don't lay aside power. We aren't humble. What would it take for us to become like little children? What would it take for us to really live in the way of Jesus? The last portion of Scripture we are covering today is what we might call Jesus' conflict mediation model. If someone sins against you, you go directly to that person and try to resolve it. You don't immediately pick up your phone and share your frustration with your closest friends. You don't post something rude on social media. You don't decide to quit the church. You actually go to that person and have the hard conversation. Most of the time that works. But if that doesn't work, Jesus has more wisdom to share. Go find some other trusted believers and bring them in to help resolve the dispute. That should certainly take care of things but just in case it doesn't, take it to the church. Do keep in mind that these were pretty small house churches so taking a dispute to the church would have looked differently than it does today. Today, it probably would mean bringing it to the pastor or some church leaders, but ONLY after you have done the other steps. We use this model in our own leadership teams here at New Hope. While it may not always be someone sinning against us, it could be a miscommunication or a disagreement. That's why if someone brings me a problem that involves another church member, I always ask, “Have you talked to that person already?” Conflict is inevitable in the church because we are all humans. However, we need to be very intentional and respectful about how we handle conflict. But we do need to handle it. Avoidance, denial, gossip, and/or projection onto others never turns out well and isn't how Jesus intended his people to behave. More tomorrow, friends. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Don tackles the dangerous myth of “safe” high-yield investments, calling out misleading financial advice around covered call funds and non-traded real estate deals. He takes calls on 529 plans vs. UTMA, long-term care insurance pitfalls, robo-advisors for special needs planning, and a shady pitch for a fixed-indexed annuity disguised as a fiduciary recommendation.

Almost 10 years after getting his Doctorate in Management, Dr. Izzy Justive pivoted towards Neuroscience with the advent of wireless EEG technology that allowed real-time access to brain while performing all kinds of tasks. Since then Izzy has observed 1000s of human performance activities resulting in the creation of a library of patent-pending Neurohacks that allow real-time quick 'cognitive performance boosters' by temporarily reducing distractions to allow high performance in critical moments on an off the golf course. He joins Mark Immelman to discuss his new book, "Your Brain Swings Every Club - Chasing 10Hz," and illustrate how your brain works, and how you can "neurohack" your way to a calm, focussed mind for effortless performance under pressure. Among many topics, Izzy highlights the following: How golf technique gains from improvements in technology are being eroded by over-stimulated, distracted brains How your brain works What is 10Hz, why it is important for peak performance, and how your brain activity spikes and lowers The Human nature to chase after cheap Dopamine hits Izzy's Red, Yellow and Green Scale to measure brain spikes Neurohacks, what they are and how they work, and A "10/10" Neurohack to calm your brain and your mind for improved performance.

Episode 327: Learning & Development, Instructional Design, and AI Talk with Holly Owens In this episode, I had the honor of chatting with Holly Owens, host of EdUp EdTech, Director of Growth Marketing at Yellowdig, and all-around L&D powerhouse. We talk about everything from instructional design to AI in learning, what "proficiency" really means, and how educators can pivot into the world of L&D with confidence.If you're an educator, learning designer, or someone navigating the fast-moving world of EdTech, this one's packed with takeaways you'll want to keep coming back to.We go deep on human-first learning, ethical red flags with AI, and the importance of not letting imposter syndrome get in your way. Whether you're pivoting careers or just trying to stay ahead of the curve, Holly brings the fire.
Computertomographie und Magnetresonanztomographie sind in der Humanmedizin häufig eingesetzte Verfahren. Auch in der Tiermedizin werden diese beiden Verfahren häufig eingesetzt. Auch in der Tiermedizin gewinnen diese Verfahren zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die Computertomographie ist besonders gut für die feinauflösende Darstellung von Hochkontraststrukturen wie Knochen. Bei der Magnetresonanztomographie wird nicht mit Röntgenstrahlen gearbeitet, sondern mit einem starken Magnetfeld. Dadurch können Bereiche im Körper dargestellt werden, die sonst durch einen Knochen abgeschirmt sind. Abgeklärt werden vor allem zentrale Störungen, Prozesse im Gehirn, Entzündungen, Blutungen oder Verletzungen im Rückenmark, wie Bandscheibenvorfälle, Embolien und Infarkte. In der Human und Tiermedizin. Für Untersuchungen im CT und dem MRI werden die Tiere sediert.
returns for another mind-expanding conversation—this time diving deep into the nature of consciousness, the evolution of the ego, and how we can stay rooted in peace while the world around us seems to unravel. We explore the idea of consciousness as the mind of God—where love and intelligence are not just forces, but the very fabric of our experience. Shunyamurti challenges the old belief that suffering is necessary for growth and offers a new lens: one where love, awareness, and symbolic perception can unlock deeper levels of spiritual awakening. From decoding life's symbols to becoming conscious dreamers in a reality shaped by our own awareness, this episode is about reimagining what it means to grow spiritually—and how that journey can heighten our senses, clarify our path, and ground us in stillness amidst chaos. We also venture into the paradoxes of free will and destiny, the spiritual significance of this moment in history, and how the ego evolves—or dissolves—on the path to enlightenment. As we discuss the Kali Yuga and the possibility of a new cycle of consciousness, Shunyamurti reminds us: every soul is part of a divine dream, woven from the same eternal love. ------------- Shunyamurti, Divine Consciousness, Spiritual Awakening, Mystical Perception, Sacred Symbolism, The Mind of God, Love as Intelligence, Illusion vs. Reality, Conscious Dreaming, Ego Dissolution, Inner Stillness, Chaos and Clarity, Human vs. Divine Nature, Free Will & Cosmic Design, Spiritual Rebirth, Collective Ascension, The Great Eschaton, Kali Yuga Prophecies, End of the Egoic Age, Transcendent Compassion, Interbeing, Eternal Presence, Soul-Level Truth, Karmic Liberation, Divine Law & Higher Order, Awakening from the Matrix, Modern Madness vs. Sacred Meaning https://www.satyoga.org/
TrafficKing: The Jeffrey Epstein Case Conchita SarnoffAdvocate and abolitionist Conchita Sarnoff risked her life to tell the truth about a Wall Street billionaire hedge fund manager who is now a level-3 registered sex offender.TrafficKing uncovers a child sex trafficking case of epic proportions and the longest-running human trafficking case in US legal history - more poignant than the Lewinsky case, Watergate scandal, and Profumo affair combined. Eleven years after the registered level-3 sex offender was arrested, four cases associated with his 2005 criminal investigation remain open. The pedophile was not prosecuted under The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), a law enacted in Florida in 2000. In this gripping exposé, Sarnoff finds out why. TrafficKing is a true story exposing the dark side of the human condition: avarice, lust, power, and influence peddling at the highest levels of government.https://amzn.to/3I9H7cyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Human beings have a primal need that we don’t often talk about. It’s not food or water or love, although we need those things too. It’s the human need that drives you to watch Netflix, scroll Instagram, gasp at a text message that says, “you’ll never guess what happened!?” and even binge a great audiobook (the three I mention in the episode are in the notes below). And yet unlike food, water and love, this primal need often gets overlooked. No wonder we’re depressed or bored or dysregulated or overwhelmed. We’re treating a basic need we have like it’s secondary; and that oversight is costing us. I invite you to find ways to bring back this “lost” art so we can rediscover meaning, clarity and connection in our lives. Check out THE TELL HERE! Check out The Anxious Generation HERE!

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's ban on pediatric gender affirming health care with a decision that lowered the bar for establishing its constitutionality and that imperils the rights of young trans patients in the 20 other states with similar laws — all despite the opposition of every major U.S. medical association. Brad Sears, Distinguished Senior Scholar of the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, unpacks the ruling (interviewed by David Hunt). And in NewsWrap: most Australian gay and bisexual men and transgender women who have sex with men will finally be able to donate blood without a three-month-celibacy requirement, funding for suicide prevention programs targeting LGBTQ young people is being eliminated by the Trump administration, a federal judge continues to block the U.S. State Department from denying the option of an “X” gender marker on U.S. passports, U.S. Vice President J.D.

The Apocalypse Players — a Call of Cthulhu actual play podcast
In which our investigators suffer unseen consequences, devour a banquet of increasingly grotesque inventions, & risk the sheer terrors of another Library visit, as they finally reach… York. A Call of Cthulhu scenario by Danann McAleer. Episodes released weekly. Cast: Dr. Henry Carraig-Muire - Joseph Chance Rev. Perregrine McCutcheon - Dan Wheeler Lady Helen Marjorie Bjarmia Potts - Dominic Allen CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. Human discretion is advised. The Apocalypse Players is an actual play (or live play) TTRPG podcast focused on horror tabletop roleplaying games. Think Dimension 20 or Critical Role, but fewer dragons, more eldritch horrors, and more British actors taking their roleplaying very seriously (most of the time). We primarily play the Chaosium RPG Call of Cthulhu, but have also been known to dabble with other systems, most of which can be found on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/apocalypseplayers We now have a free Discord server where you can come worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will only be too eager to welcome you into the fold.

Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin celebrate their four-year podcast journey, reflecting on their initial social media connection and shared passion for inner work. They discuss the importance of moving from survival mode to thriving, highlighting signs like constant tiredness and lack of inspiration as survival symptoms.

Practical steps include identifying survival aspects of your life, setting clear intentions, and building a supportive community.

The essence of Being Human is the practice of Biocultural Reproduction (BCR). BCR is defined as the set of marriage and kinship based rules for extra-maternal cooperation in the production, feeding, and care of offspring. Human evolution theory needs to explain how people successfully combined a vastly extended period of offspring dependency and delayed reproduction with helpless newborns — with large heads and much body fat (even with problems giving birth) -- a short duration of breast-feeding, an adolescent growth spurt, and vigorous post-menopause valuable grandmothers. Are these characteristics a package or a mosaic? Series: "CARTA - Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny" [Humanities] [Science] [Show ID: 40697]

As we head into the solstice- that moment when the sun stands still—whether you're in the northern hemisphere where we have the longest day, or the southern, where it's the longest night—this solstice feels like a moment of transformation. The world is turning over, turning a page. The old system is visibly—palpably—breaking apart. A new system will arise from the ashes, because there is always going to be a system. The question is what it looks like, works like, feels like. We are a prosocial, communitarian species, but our culture has shattered from our knowing of our integral place in the All That Is, so it's possible we might end up with a system predicated on hatred, underpinned by fear, where a small number of incredibly frightened people let their traumatised parts run a scorched earth policy in an effort to hold back everything of which they are most afraid, but I am increasingly hopeful that what we're seeing in places is the extinction burst of the old system: its death throes if you like. As I record this, there has been an estimated turnout in the US for the No Kings rallies of between ten and twelve million. This is an astonishing number. If it's true, it's well within shouting distance of the 3.5% of the total population that was considered a tipping point in previous social movements in our recent history: the abolition of slavery in the UK, the civil rights movement in the US, gay marriage in too many nations to count. The difference is that these numbers are based on a pre-internet age. We genuinely don't know what happens when people can see the images on their phones and realise how many of the people around them share the common values of decency, compassion, integrity, generosity-of-spirit. So if this is potentially a turning point in the making in the US, how do we make this bigger, grander, more of a global movement? We know we need total systemic change, but how do we make it happen? How do we create lasting change in our ways of organising everything from food to water to shelter to education. How do we sort our mess of a governance system so we can find those with the greatest wisdom and give them as much power as they need and no more, at all the levels of our culture? As ever, I think the answer lies in our narratives - when ideas become common currency, then we begin to build them into our visions of how the world is and has been and could be. If we can become bold, evolutionary imagineers and craft stories of a different way of organising, loving, relating, caring…then we can live it into being. Which means we need to know in the marrow of our bones what this feels like. Imagination begins in our perception of the possible and part of the horror of the Trauma culture is the systematic stifling of possibility. From our books to our movies to our TV to our TikTok videos, so much is predicated on Trauma Culture narratives of scarcity, separation and powerlessness. We are told this is the way the world is. That it is human nature to lack all morality and engage in zero sum strategies that belittle, disempower and crush everyone around us. Which it isn't. Nonetheless, predatory Capitalism is designed to keep us from imagining things differently. If we're stressed about earning enough to survive while at the same time being hooked on the things we absolutely have to have to feel better, and are being steadily more sedated by the incessant dopamine drips of social media…then we literally cannot step out into other ways of being. So this is our task now - to wean ourselves off the stuff we neither need nor (really) want; off the dopamine drips, and onto things that make our hearts sing so we can build new stories predicated on connection, agency and sufficiency; stories where we are self-conscious nodes in the web of life, and it's our job to ask 'What do you want of me?', listen to the answers, then carry them out to the best of our ability. That's it. Easy to say. Harder to do. But we can boil things down to 9 basic concepts:Three Values: Integrity, Compassion, Generosity-of-SpiritThree Baselines: Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil Three ReWoven Connections: between all parts of Ourselves; ourselves and Each Other; Ourselves and the Web of Life. What happens if every single thing we think or do or say or dream is based in these three sets of three? How would our days change? This isn't going to happen overnight, but we can make the commitment to live by them now. Here. This moment. It's not going to be easy: changing behaviours never is. But we have baselines to work from. And we might focus on one at a time. What happens if Clean Water is our priority? How does it change how we live? What happens if we make Integrity the heart and soul of every interaction through our days - beginning with ourselves? What does it feel like to commit to re-weaving clean, clear, courageous, compassionate connections between all parts of ourselves, ourselves and each other, ourselves and the More than Human world? Clearly I think the inner work is the foundation of everything, though I am aware that this isn't the case for everyone: if you work better in the outer world, if you'd rather lead with head than heart, that's fine, truly. Go for it. Find the Values that speak to you and the Baselines you can work with and go for it. If the Inner Work speaks more to you then know that we in the west need to heal ten thousand years of Trauma Culture in half a decade. It's been at least that long for some of us since our ancestors knew themselves to be an integral part of the web of life. This is the work of the spiritual warrior. It's going to take astonishing levels of courage and commitment. Nobody is pretending this is easy. But it is essential.And because this is the water I swim in, I'd like to share the basics of how we might get there. It starts with Grounding - with having a clear sense of our physical presence in the world, the flesh and the bones and the teeth of who we are; with sensing the solid earth beneath us as support, containment, holding, as the reality of who and what we are. When our feet are on the earth, there is nowhere left to fall. When we have a sense of roots going down into the earth, we have connection, holding and an open path from the heart of the earth to our heart. If we connect it on up to the heart-mind of the Universe, we have the three hearts in alignment. Just doing this is huge. But then, as we begin really to live in our bodies, so we can begin to recognise the places where trauma sits; the frozen places, the stuck places, the parts of ourselves that leap to our own defence - and are brilliant and wonderful and creative - but who are probably defending against threats that occurred decades ago, if not longer. We carry generational trauma, civilisational trauma. And the healing is ours to do: the good news is that there's a lot of help out there - that just as we really need it, we're beginning really to get to grips with how healing can happen. One to one work is good if you have the means: the time and the money, but many of us don't - and that doesn't mean we can't do the work. If you'd like to work in groups there's a huge amount. We offer Gatherings and the Membership, but there's Listen to Thomas Hübl Mystic Cafe — I'll link to his podcast Point of Relation in the show notes —Tara Brach, Michael Meade, Bill Plotkin, Jon Young…a host of others are offering online work that helps you to reconnect to yourself and the land. You have to find out what helps you best, but there's a lot out there. So we do the inner work. And in doing it, we become the still point in the whirling world that...
In this thought-provoking episode of Project Synapse, host Jim and his friends Marcel Gagne and John Pinard delve into the complexities of artificial intelligence, especially in the context of cybersecurity. The discussion kicks off by revisiting a blog post by Sam Altman about reaching a 'Gentle Singularity' in AI development, where the progress towards artificial superintelligence seems inevitable. They explore the idea of AI surpassing human intelligence and the implications of machines learning to write their own code. Throughout their engaging conversation, they emphasize the need to integrate security into AI systems from the start, rather than as an afterthought, citing recent vulnerabilities like Echo Leak and Microsoft Copilot's Zero Click vulnerability. Derailing into stories from the past and pondering philosophical questions, they wrap up by urging for a balanced approach where speed and thoughtful planning coexist, and to prioritize human welfare in technological advancements. This episode serves as a captivating blend of storytelling, technical insights, and ethical debates. 00:00 Introduction to Project Synapse 00:38 AI Vulnerabilities and Cybersecurity Concerns 02:22 The Gentle Singularity and AI Evolution 04:54 Human and AI Intelligence: A Comparison 07:05 AI Hallucinations and Emotional Intelligence 12:10 The Future of AI and Its Limitations 27:53 Security Flaws in AI Systems 30:20 The Need for Robust AI Security 32:22 The Ubiquity of AI in Modern Society 32:49 Understanding Neural Networks and Model Security 34:11 Challenges in AI Security and Human Behavior 36:45 The Evolution of Steganography and Prompt Injection 39:28 AI in Automation and Manufacturing 40:49 Crime as a Business and Security Implications 42:49 Balancing Speed and Security in AI Development 53:08 Corporate Responsibility and Ethical Considerations 57:31 The Future of AI and Human Values

America's TSA: $12B of expensive theater that fails 95% of security tests. Nick Pell explains why we should scrap it all on this 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 writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1169On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The TSA's greatest "successes" — stopping the shoe bomber and underwear bomber — never actually happened. Passengers stopped them after TSA screening failed!Internal TSA audits reveal catastrophic failure rates: some airports let 95% of test weapons and bomb components through security. That's not protection — that's expensive theater with questionable reviews.The $12 billion annual TSA budget creates a deadly irony: people drive instead of fly to avoid airport hassles, resulting in thousands more road deaths since 2001. Safety theater kills.TSA theft rings and sexual assault cases reveal systemic problems, with agents claiming legal immunity from prosecution. Government accountability becomes government impunity.Master situational awareness: notice behavioral patterns, trust your instincts about people acting unusually nervous or rehearsed, and ask thoughtful questions.
