As global warming continues and space technology improves, there is more and more talk about the growing possibility of a sci-fi future in which humans become a multiplanetary species. Specifically, that we could live on Mars. Biologist Kelly Weinersmith and cartoonist Zach Weinersmith have spent four years researching what life on Mars would look like if we did it anytime soon. In their book A City On Mars, they get into all sorts of questions: How would we have babies in space? How would we have enough food? They join host Regina G. Barber and explain why it might be best to stay on Earth. Check out Kelly and Zach Weinersmith's book A City On Mars.Have another space story you want us to cover on a future episode?

The germ theory of disease is a crowning achievement of science, up there with modern physics, continental drift, and evolution via natural selection. (Even if there will always be cranky skeptics.) But the road to widespread acceptance isn't always an easy one. Why did it take so long between Anton van Leeuwenhoek seeing "animalcules" in a microscope (1670s) to Louis Pasteur's work on pasteurization and vaccination (1860's)? Thomas Levenson is the author of a new book exploring this fascinating history: So Very Small: How Humans Discovered the Microcosmos, Defeated Germs--and May Still Lose the War Against Infectious Disease.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/04/21/episode-312-thomas-levenson-on-the-mutual-history-of-humans-and-germs/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Thomas Levenson received a B.A. in East Asian Studies from Harvard University.

As AI becomes more integrated into everyday business and personal life, the biggest question leaders face is: when should we rely on AI and when must the human touch prevail? In this episode, Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker joins CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to explore the fine line between AI augmentation and human intuition. The team uses a recent LinkedIn post from Ethan Mollick as a leaping off point to unpack how leaders can responsibly scale with AI while keeping people empowered, not replaced. In the post, Mollick shares the results of a recent study that shows students who use AI as a tutor benefit from it, whereas those who use AI to do their work for them end up faring worse on standardized tests. Special guest Richard Lin, CEO of Anyreach.ai, speaks with Pete Buer about how AI voice agents are transforming customer service and sales. Lin reveals how cloning the “top 1%” of reps isn't about replacement, but about elevating consistent performance while keeping humans in the loop to label, train, and improve AI systems. In our news segment, Pete dives into the fascinating world of AI therapists. A recent study shows that bots can actually help patients with anxiety and depression, raising the provocative question: are people more honest with machines than humans?

My guest this week is Dr. Maxine Thérèse – author, researcher, and founder of Childosophy, a holistic framework for understanding and supporting children's wellbeing. Maxine brings a unique lens to child development, integrating Western psychology with the wisdom of the Indian chakra system.

We explore the courage to confront tyranny and the roots of empathy through personal legacy and historical insight. Zoë shares reflections on billionaire-owned media and the future of truth-seeking in journalism, and updates us on her Australian Alpine walking track adventure and upcoming Kickstarter for Power Games. Then, we welcome Dr. Robert Wolf, author of Not a Real Enemy, a gripping biography of his father's extraordinary journey through Nazi and Communist Hungary. Rob shares the harrowing yet hopeful story of his father's four-time escape from tyranny, how he rebuilt his life as a doctor in America, and why this story of resilience, compassion, and miracles needs to be told now more than ever. Together, we explore the enduring impact of antisemitism, the challenge of confronting hate in all its forms, and the role of storytelling in forging empathy and leadership.   SHOWNOTES are here: ​​https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/truth-seeking-journalism     Power Games: https://www.zoerouth.com/power-games My new Substack: https://substack.com/@zoerouth     Planet Human: Billionaire-owned media reshapes truth, trust, and narratives. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/26/nx-s1-5309725/jeff-bezos-washington-post-opinion-section     Key Quotes: "Leadership will require us to ask: how do we craft a shared reality in a polarised world?" – Zoë Routh "Leadership is from within.

In today's episode I sit down with with Dr. Tom Hildebrandt, clinical psychologist and director at Mount Sinai's Center for Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders, to unpack the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders—and why that distinction matters. We dive into how to foster healthy food environments at home, when (and how) to talk to your kids about food and body image, and why regular family meals might be your best defense against future struggles. Plus: the impact of food delivery culture, what to do when kids self-soothe with snacks, and how to respond if you suspect something deeper is going on.Link to Mount Sinai's Center for Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders, HEREI WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

What could you accomplish in your business or career if you quit alcohol? There was a point in my own life where I was showing up to work intoxicated or hungover, sometimes both, but I tried to keep a smile. On the inside I was exhausted, burned out, hungover, not motivated, and wondering how long I could keep faking it. Quitting drinking didn't just save my health—it saved my job, my marriage, my sanity, and I found my purpose.Join “The Victory Circle”, our FREE Sober Guy Mens Community at https://www.thatsoberguy.com/offers/SvjjuEQ2/checkoutTired of Drinking?

Humans, walking and taking bags of water and trace chemicals that we are, have managed to convince well-organized sand to pretend to think like us.” - Ethan Mollick In this episode, Ana Melikian challenges the common "us vs. them" mindset when it comes to technology, especially in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Ana takes listeners on a journey through humanity's long history with technology, highlighting how our survival and progress have always been intertwined with new tools—from controlling fire to inventing computers and now, navigating the waves of AI. Ana shares why seeing humanity and technology as allies, rather than adversaries, is essential. She encourages listeners to drop the outdated "humans vs. machines" narrative and instead adopt an experimentation mindset, inviting AI to the table as a collaborator. Drawing wisdom from Ethan Mollick's "Co-Intelligence," Ana presents a practical framework for thriving in this era: always invite AI to the table, be the human in the loop, treat AI like a person (but guide it with intention), and remember that today's AI will soon be considered primitive. Throughout the episode, Ana offers insightful historical context and practical advice for increasing your "AI literacy" without getting overwhelmed or burned out. She emphasizes that we don't need to face the AI revolution alone—working as a team is key to using these powerful tools to shape a better future. Let's dive in!

So many people look at success relative to their own level of desire and commitment, choosing to only see the peak of the mountain that was their goal, choosing to overlook the effort it took to climb the mountain day by day. We don't just arrive to the top without trying, we have to train ourselves to acclimate to our new surroundings and overcome any trees that may fall in our path during our journey forward. We must learn lessons along the way in order to survive and thrive within the mistakes that change our course and challenge us to strive for better living.Taking extreme ownership is the act of understanding that most things that impact you are within your control and you have to find the things that were within your control and adjust and adapt based on those things. Maturity is knowing you have experienced something specific in the past and gaining wisdom is choosing not to do it again if it failed before. Taking lessons from your "failures" is how you are able to declare ownership and freedom with your deliberate actions and get on the path of paving the road to your future however you see fit.Many people live their entire lives never taking full accountability for their actions. Humans cannot be devoid of flaws, no matter how perfect we may like to think we are. How we choose to handle life with our deficiencies and how we let other people around us influence who we truly want to be is the person we have to lay our head down with at the end of the day. Become the person you want to be, one day at a time, one claimed mistake to learn from at a time, one opportunity to grow into that person you see in your mind. Be grateful you can take the blame when you know changes need to be made. Time is a blessing for each of us, make the most of yours by claiming all that is yours to own, especially when it's a lesson you need to learn from in order to grow.

In this episode, Alex focuses on the Trump Administration needing to convince the public that its mass deportation campaign is happening. Though it has deported high profile individuals, deportations are down from 2024. Congress is likely to pass a bill that would nearly double ICE's budget over the next decade and it looks like the entity wants to deport way more people. The acting ICE director has said that they want to privatize some aspects of deportations and compared the reforms to Amazon Prime but “with people.” 

Sarah Rose Siskind returns to Walk-Ins Welcome for a fascinating chat about AI, exploring its strengths, quirks, and why it sparks insecurity in so many. She and Bridget unpack humanity's love-hate dance with robots, wrestling with the paradox at its core: Will robots become too human? Why aren't they human enough? They dive into AI's struggle to nail comedy (despite being a comedian's secret weapon), its transformative role for women in crisis—like in Afghanistan—and the unexpected power of Bitcoin for women across the Middle East. Sarah also shares her vision for restoring trust in science through her Null Bell Prize for unsung scientific flops, strategies for rebuilding faith when it's lost, and how she proposed to husband, Nick Gillespie, at Burning Man. Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

As a former elementary school teacher and founding member of Humans of San Quentin, Diane Kahn is a fierce advocate for second chances and shared humanity. By spending the past seven years working inside the walls of California's most notorious prison, Diane empowers those incarcerated to earn their high school diplomas, tell their stories, and be seen not for what they've done, but for who they are. Today, Diane shares what inspired her to launch the Humans of San Quentin platform and why storytelling can be the first step to healing. Plus, we talk about the powerful impact of empathy, the surprising kindness found in dark places, and the importance of truly seeing others as more than their past mistakes. My friends, you'll leave this conversation with a renewed sense of compassion, a deeper belief in the power of story, and the courage to see your own life through a more grace-filled lens.

OpenAI's o3 and o4-mini are here—and they're multimodal, cheaper, and scary good. These models can see, code, plan, and use tools all on their own. Yeah. It's a big deal. We break down everything from tool use to image reasoning to why o3 might be the start of something actually autonomous. Plus, our favorite cursed (and adorable) 4o Image Generation  prompts, ChatGPT as a social network, the old (Monday) news about GPT-4.1 including free Windsurf coding for a week!

Welcome to Crosspoint Highlights: Big ideas. Short episodes. For your busy schedule. Guest: Col Chet Arnold, USMC (Ret.) From Episode 46: “May a Christian Serve in the Military?” Listen to the full episode here. Highlight Summary: Can a Christian serve in the military and still follow Jesus' command to love their enemies? In this Crosspoint Highlight, Col Chet Arnold, USMC (Ret.), tackles the difficult topic of killing in combat from a Biblical perspective. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, Chet explains why understanding the sanctity of life and the God-given authority of government is essential for military believers. He also challenges listeners to avoid dehumanizing their enemies and to grieve the loss of life—even in war—through the lens of being made in God's image. Be sure to check out our article by the same name, "May A Christian Serve in the Military?" Key Takeaways: The sanctity of life is foundational: All people are made in God's image—even those considered enemies. God delegates authority to governments: Genesis 9 establishes the basis for protection and justice, even when that includes the use of force. Jesus' command to turn the other cheek applies to personal offense, not to military or governmental responsibility (Matthew 5:39). Dehumanizing the enemy leads to spiritual and emotional damage: Christians are called to mourn every life lost, even in war. Grieving rightly matters: Proper understanding of life's value can reduce the impact of trauma and moral injury after combat. Mentioned Bible Verses: Genesis 1 – Humans are created in the image of God. Genesis 9 – God delegates to human government the authority to take life in matters of justice. Matthew 5:39 – “Do not resist the one who is evil… turn to him the other [cheek] also.”

Humans have an interesting knack of overestimating the probability of something bad happening, but underestimating the severity of said bad outcome. The net result of these dynamics can be utterly destructive. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discussed the importance of understanding the true downside risks of xyz decision.

with @ilblackdragon @rhhackettWelcome to web3 with a16z. I'm your host, Robert Hackett.In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most intriguing intersections in tech today: AI and crypto.To help us unpack it, we're joined by Illia Polosukhin — co-founder of the crypto protocol NEAR and co-author of the groundbreaking 2017 "transformers" paper that kicked off the current AI boom. Ilia has been early to some of the biggest recent tech trends, and today he brings us a rare, panoramic view of the tech industry's cutting edge.Together we explore what the phrase “user-owned AI” really means; why the so-called agentic internet — that is, a world where your AI assistant talks directly to services on your behalf — might replace the very notion of websites and apps as we know them; and much more.Timestamps:(0:00) Introduction(3:40) Centralization and Challenges of AI(6:17) "User-Owned" AI(12:14) Confidential Computing and AI(17:51) The Birth of Transformers(22:33) NEAR AI and Crowdsourcing(27:56) AI Agents and Future Applications(31:04) The End of Websites and Applications(34:08) Dead Internet Theory & Distinguishing Humans(41:49) Open Source vs. Open Weight Models(43:48) Geopolitical Implications of AI(46:55) NEAR Protocol and Blockchain Scaling(59:29) The Role of Humans in an AI WorldResources:Attention is all you need by Vaswani et al.

An episode all about cognitive dissonance. Ever feel like there are two yous in the same head? The one that cares about the planet, and the one that doesn't act like it does? And that having two yous makes at least one of your yous freak out? You (and you) are not alone. Welcome to cognitive dissonance. As Walt Whitman wrote: you contain multitudes. It's a feature, not a bug, of being alive. Humans, it turns out, are very good at thinking conflicting things at the same time.  This helps us get through the day, but means we're as likely to run away from scary facts we don't like - eg, the state of planet Earth - as to take meaningful action. It's as bad for our politics as it is for getting our heads around climate change. What's to be done? In this episode, Dave chats all things cognitive dissonance and more with the brilliant Sarah Stein Lubrano. Sarah's an author, podcaster and academic whose work is at the intersection of psychology, politics, and cognitive science. Her new book, Don't Talk About Politics: How to change 21st century minds, is out in mid-May. Let me know your thoughts on the show - hello@yourbrainonclimate.com. Please rate, review and subscribe, and share the show on socials. Please consider chucking this humble indie podcaster a few quid at www.patreon.com/yourbrainonclimate. Owl noises = references: 23:52 - Joseph Henrich coined the term WEIRD & wrote a book about it. 32:30 - Excellent article on Kristin Laurin's work studying bans. 42:44 - Deep organising, via the legend that was Jane McAlevey. 49:29 - Google Deepmind founder Mustafa Suleyman's terrifying book, the Coming Wave. 52:35 - critical theory and social pathology.Clips in this episode are from the (er) 1984 film of 1984, starring Robert Burton and John Hurt. The show is hosted and produced by me, Dave Powell, who you can find @powellds on Bluesky and X/Twitter, although I don't use the latter any more.

Please enjoy my B.rad podcast conversation with Alex Hutchinson, the world’s leading science-sport journalist and NYT best-selling author of Endure. The occasion is the release of his long-awaited next book, titled The Explorer’s Gene, and in this much-anticipated follow-up to Endure, he refutes the myth that, in our fully mapped digital world, the age of exploration is dead. Instead, the itch to discover new things persists in all of us, expressed not just on the slopes of Everest but in the ways we work, play, and live. The Explorer’s Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience, making a powerful case that our lives are better—more productive, more meaningful, and more fun—when we break our habits and chart a new path. Alongside our deep dive into The Explorer’s Gene, we also enjoyed a lively and friendly debate about my latest book, Born to Walk, sparked by Alex’s unique perspective as a long-time runner and promoter of endurance. Spoiler alert: we have lots of common ground, so it’s a peaceful, enlightening discussion; my favorite take away from Alex is: “Running is fine, as long as you recover from workouts.” You will hear his thoughtful critiques and insights, helping to clarify the message of the book while reflecting on the value of endurance pursuits—like why training for the mile might be more beneficial than pushing for a marathon. Alex Hutchinson is a National Magazine Award-winning science journalist and Outside magazine’s longtime Sweat Science columnist. Before journalism, he was a postdoctoral physicist and a long-distance runner for the Canadian national team. Check out his website here.

Jim Liefer, CEO, Ambi Robotics joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how physical AI is transforming warehouse automation and redefining global supply chain efficiency. Ambi Robotics systems have logged over 200,000 hours of real-world autonomous operations, equivalent to 22 years of experience. As the foundation models powering these systems continue to ingest more data, their performance and accuracy will only improve with time.While scaling its autonomous systems, Ambi Robotics remains focused on human-robot collaboration rather than full automation.
