Send us a textWhat if your dreams aren't random—they're early drafts of your future? We dive into the strange clarity that images bring, tracing a path from Christopher Nolan's Inception to the enduring lessons of Joseph and Daniel to show how imagination can become logistics, policy, and lived change.We start with the cinematic—why layered dream states, kicks, and totems mirror how ideas stack inside us—and shift to the practical anchors that keep us steady: journaling details the moment we wake, testing symbols across time, and using small, reversible experiments to validate meaning. Then we walk through two timeless case studies. Joseph reads a dream not as poetry but as a plan, translating symbols into storage, strategy, and survival across seven-year cycles. Daniel faces a harder brief—a king forgets his dream—yet recovers both the image and the implication, proving that patience, prayer, and pattern recognition can turn mystery into governance.Along the way, we challenge a few myths. No, other people cannot kill a well-stewarded dream, though careless sharing can slow momentum. Yes, troubling dreams can be signals to prepare, set boundaries, and build competence so opportunity doesn't outrun your skill. And most of all, no meaningful dream is purely personal; it touches families, teams, cities. We frame dreams as stacked pages—compressed futures seeking entry into time and space—and outline a simple workflow: record the image, interpret with wisdom, plan in phases, and act with integrity.If you're ready to treat your imagination like a working tool, this conversation offers methods you can use today—clear questions to ask, habits that sharpen interpretation, and steps that move a vision from 2D image to 3D impact.

In this episode, PlanningxChange travels to Vietnam to speak with Olivier Souquet, French architect and co-founder of DE-SO Asia, a Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)-based design studio renowned for projects that weave together climate, culture, and poetic sensibility. Since establishing DE-SO Asia in 2016, Olivier has guided a diverse body of work across Vietnam—from rural schools and urban housing to major civic and cultural landmarks, including the new City Planning Exhibition Center in Ho Chi Minh City. His practice embraces both rigorous environmental awareness and a deep respect for local materials, topography, and traditions. Olivier discusses his architectural philosophy—shaped by influences such as Édouard Glissant's call to “act in your place, think with the world”—and the realities of designing in Vietnam's tropical context, where rain, heat, and humidity shape the rhythm of daily work. He reflects on building responsibly in a time of ecological change, how poetic gestures sustain creativity, and why uncertainty (“Au Vietnam, rien n'est jamais sûr”) is part of the country's charm and challenge. This is a conversation about architecture as adaptation, empathy, and imagination—rooted in place yet globally aware. Key Topics * Origins and philosophy of DE-SO Asia * Practicing architecture across French and Vietnamese cultures * The Family Garden studio: daily rituals, nature, and community * Designing the Ho Chi Minh City Planning Exhibition Center * Balancing civic responsibility with poetic intent * Advice for young architects and reflections on VietnamDE-DE-SO)'s creative energy About DE-SO Asia Founded in 2016 by Olivier Souquet, DE-SO Asia is a Vietnamese architectural and planning firm working at all scales—from regional masterplans to public buildings and landscapes. The firm collaborates with public authorities, private investors, and international partners, and is recognised for its environmentally conscious, site-responsive designs grounded in local knowledge and craftsmanship.

Derrick Todd Lee (DTL) terrorized the Baton Rouge and Lafayette Louisiana. A Serial Killer who took the lives of at least (7) women in the late 1990's and early 2000's, Lee's reign of terror finally ended in late May of 2003 when he was captured in Atlanta, GA after being linked by DNA.In Part 1 of this multi-part docuseries award winning host Kelly Jennings brings you inside Lee's formative years that reflected various signs which would eventually create the monster Lee would grow up to become.This is DTL Hosted by Kelly Jennings and produced by the experts at Envision Podcast Productions.For Media or Advertising Inquiries Envisionpodcaststudios@gmail.comTimestamps 01:09 The Birth of Evil03:32 A Freshman's Perspective04:41 Life on LSU Campus07:07 Baton Rouge Serial Killers x309:29 DTL's Early Life13:13 Early Signs of Trouble17:58 The Path to Violence22:20 Troubled Relationships 27:47 The Shift to Murder28:21 The Unfolding Horror#DTL #podcast #DerrickToddLee #BatonRouge #SerialKiller #unspeakable
In this episode of Fic Clique, your hosts discuss "Where the Dead Live" by mirabella on dreamwidth (Inception), "three's a crowd" by ctimene (Formula 1 RPF), "The Seal Song" by Blackeyed_blackeyed (Original Fiction), and "A Cabin in the Woods" by Nightwalker (The Avengers). Four for the price of one! Happy Halloween, Ficlets! Put on your witch hats and Hamlet costumes, because each of these fics is on theme! In this episode we do our best to dissect the question: Why is horror so wildly popular in media as a whole but disproportionately underrepresented in fanfiction? We also explore what makes horror so beloved as a genre in the first place, diving into horror as parable, subversion of expectations, catharsis, social and moral commentary, response to global crisis, queer allegory, and more.
Wir statten mal wieder der Hohen Republik einen Besuch ab und sprechen über eine Reihe, die der Okklusionszone einen Besuch abstattet - Inception! In Nachrichten aus der Okklusionszone gehen alle Hauptreihen von Abenteuer bis zur Marvel-Reihe einen kleinen Umweg. Denn alle werden pausiert, während eine Art Brücke in dieser Reihe erzählt werden soll. Diese Brücke hängt aber nicht wirklich zusammen, sondern jeder baut seinen eigenen Pfeiler. Das sorgt am Ende für unterbrochene Hauptreihen, fehlenden Inhalt dort und eine wenig zusammenhängende Minireihe, auf die wir auch hätten verzichten können. Warum einige Aspekte dennoch Spaß machen, nur eben im Kontext einer Minireihe nicht passen, besprechen Ines, Theo und Tobias deshalb in dieser Ausgabe. Es geht um die Frage, welche der Abzweigungen noch am meisten Spaß macht, warum Ines Angst vor Eriadu hat und wieso einer der größten Pluspunkte aus Echos der Angst nun durch anderen Kontext zu einem Kritikpunkt wird. Außerdem könnt ihr auch was gewinnen, wenn ihr in den spoilerfreien Teil reinhört und hier das Formular ausfüllt. Zeitmarken 00:00:00 - Willkommen zu Nachrichten aus der Okklusionszone 00:01:46 - Erwartungen an die Reihe 00:03:49 - Ersteindruck nach dem Lesen 00:05:50 - Was will die Reihe eigentlich erreichen? 00:07:15 - Warum ist hier eine Zeitmarke? 00:08:12 - Welche Story überzeugt am meisten? 00:10:43 - Notwendig für die Hauptreihen? 00:14:10 - Spoiler ab hier: Immer wieder Eriadu (Heft 1) 00:25:25 - Ruu hat keine Ruh (Heft 2) 00:34:33 - Spurensuche Widerwillen (Heft 3) 00:43:40 - Stil stört Handlung (Heft 4) 00:57:08 - Fazit mit den Ninja Turtles 01:00:40 - Was wir uns gewünscht hätten Blick in die Datenbank Zur Werksübersicht von Nachrichten aus der Okklusionszone (Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone) Die Einzelhefte erschienen ab 4. September 2024 bei Dark Horse Ein englischsprachiger Sammelband erschien am 1. Juli 2025 Der deutsche Sonderband bei Panini erschien am 21. Oktober 2025 Die Rezensionen Theo hat die Reihe als Einzelhefte direkt zum englischsprachigen Release rezensiert. Er fand viele lobende Worte für die Reihe, was aber vor allem an der erfreulich wenigen Exposition im Vergleich zu Schatten von Starlight lag. Tobias hat jetzt zum Release des deutschsprachigen Sonderbands seine Rezension geschrieben. Er konnte dem Anspruch und der Umsetzung der Reihe nicht viel abgewinnen, zumal er im direkten Vergleich noch Echos der Angst im Kopf hatte. Das Werk will Brücke sein, ist aber eher ein zwangsweise zu passierender Fährenhafen, um am anderen Ufer mit den eigentlichen Hauptreihen fortzufahren.

Your mind is the scene of the crime...and of surprisingly great menswear! In the latest bonus pod, the SaDBoys dive into Jeffrey Kurland's costuming for Inception. Even though it's a modern film, Inception has great style. Everyone is dressed in tailoring, with a style that leans elegant and sharp. It's pre-minimalist, pre-skinny corporate attire— perfect for a team of professional Extractors! There's peak lapel suits, silver ties, and a healthy dose of French cuffs; there's even a moment for cargos and 70s-does-40s leather jackets! Who knew that this film would be a source of inspo?

Dr David A. Pearce joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Dr Elena-Alexandra Tataru: “What Matters Ethically About How the UDN Has Changed Since Its Inception.” Recorded August 6, 2025. Read the full article for free at JournalOfEthics.org
Wir nehmen die blaue Pille: Anhand von TRON: ARES beschäftigen wir uns heute mal mit VIRTUELLEN WELTEN. Also mit Filmen, in denen es um virtuelle Welten geht oder die versuchen solche abzubilden. Demnach reisen Schlogger, Andi und Schröck einmal durch die Geschichte, von WELT AM DRAHT und THIRTEENTH FLOOR, die sich beide auf den Roman SIMULACRON-3 stützen, über den ersten TRON (inklusive dessen Fortsetzungen) und DER RASENMÄHER MANN bis hin zu MATRIX, eXistenZ, BELLE, JUMANJI, READY PLEAYER ONE oder FREE GUY. Und natürlich kommen auch diverse andere Titel zur Sprache, bei denen zum Teil noch geklärt werden muss, ob sie überhaupt die Kriterien erfüllen. So geht es dann zum Beispiel um Streifen wie INCEPTION, PAPRIKA, GHOST IN THE SHELL oder VIRTUOSITY wie auch STRANGE DAYS, GAMER, POSSESSOR, JOHNNY MNEMONIC, ENDERS GAME, NIRVANA oder einzelne Episoden der Serie BLACK MIRROR. Darüber hinaus erzählen die Drei selbstverständlich von dem, was sie zuletzt gesehen haben, so dass unter anderem das Original von THE TOXIC AVENGER oder PADDINGTON 2 zur Sprache kommen, während Andi dann endlich auch mal WEAPONS für sich entdeckt hat und im Anschluss mit Daniel noch ein bisschen Werbung für die Doku DER TALENTIERTE MR. F macht, deren Regisseur wir hoffentlich nächste Woche bei uns begrüßen dürfen. Abgerundet durch EVIL-E - EVA RIES UND DER WU-TANG CLAN und BRAINSCAN, die als Letztes über Schröcks Netzhaut geflimmert sind. And last but not least werden noch ein paar schöne Events angekündigt. Zum Beispiel das WEIRD WEEKENDER-Festival, bei dem Daniel wieder zu Gast ist, oder auch der Blaue Panther, der TV- und Streaming Award des Landes Bayern, den Daniel unter anderem hier auf dem Kanal oder beim Rocket Beans Twitch-Channel zusammen mit der Twitch-Streamerin Nova live kommentieren wird. Kurz gesagt: voll gepackt und viel zu schnell vorbei. Dennoch wünschen wir Euch viel Spaß (sowohl im Kino als auf der Couch) wie auch ein erholsames Wochenende. San Frantschüssko.

Two years after our last conversation, Raj Koneru, CEO and Founder of Kore.ai, returns to discuss how the world of AI has changed and how much of it still needs to. When we first spoke, conversational AI was promising. Now it is powering over a billion interactions every day for companies like LG, Coca-Cola, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Yet Raj argues that the next real breakthrough will not come from novelty, but from accessibility. In this episode, Raj explains why the future of AI depends on open collaboration rather than vendor lock-in. Kore.ai's partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, and G42's Inception in the UAE reflect a commitment to interoperability and shared innovation. He offers a rare look into what happens “above the line,” where enterprises actually design and deploy AI agents, compared to the massive “below the line” investments driving the hardware, cloud, and model layers of AI. For Raj, platforms like Kore.ai act as the bridge, translating technical potential into business outcomes. We also explore what true democratization of AI looks like in practice. Raj believes no-code platforms are key to giving both large and small businesses the power to build their own agents without deep technical skills. He discusses the challenges of scaling responsibly, managing latency, ensuring governance, and keeping AI secure and transparent. From the shift toward on-device AI in smartphones to the lessons learned from running one of the world's largest enterprise AI platforms, his perspective blends realism with optimism. This conversation is a reminder that progress in AI will not be defined by who owns the biggest model but by who makes the technology usable, ethical, and open to everyone. Raj's message is simple but powerful: read widely, question everything, and collaborate boldly.

There's meta, and then there's a movie thats so self-referential it basically takes place inside a Russian nesting doll. It's the INCEPTION of the found footage genre!This week we're getting to the center of a very, very crunchy tootsie pop. Another remarkable low-budget success story, ONE CUT is the type of movie that makes you want to pick up a camera and go shoot something… or behead some zombies. Either way, it's inspiring stuff!!Next week we're returning to the (nightmare) world of screenlife with Aneesh Chaganty's SEARCHING.

Lead Balloon - Public Relations, Marketing and Strategic Communications Disaster Stories
Earlier this month, a new startup announced that they would be using artificial intelligence to churn out thousands of podcast episodes voiced by A.I. podcast hosts. Inception Point A.I. claims to be able to fashion 3,000 podcast episodes a week at a paltry cost of $1 per episode, and plans to flood the market with massive amounts of content in the hopes of generating revenue through programmatic advertising. But the reaction to their market entrance was anything but warm and welcoming. Podcast industry stalwarts and professional communicators expressed shock and outrage that the startup would resort to such a low-quality, high-volume tactic. Many raised ethical questions about replacing human insights with A.I.-generated "slop," and concerns abounded about job losses in an already contracting industry. In a post to her LinkedIn, Inception Point A.I. CEO Jeanine Wright was flamed by dozens of angry comments from incensed audio professionals. Some objected strenuously to bizarre comments where Wright declared that "half the people on the planet will be AI" in the near future. Others were upset by her decision to cast critics of the business model as "probably lazy Luddites." So obviously this story is a PERFECT fit for us here on Lead Balloon. First, we'll discuss the industry reaction, the PR faceplant and the dubious business model with Jeff Umbro—CEO of the Podglomerate, host of the show "Podcast Perspectives," and a leading authority on the state of the podcast industry. And then we'll cover the moral implications of A.I. podcast hosts with Ronald Young, Jr. , "Best Podcast Host" winner at this year's Ambies Podcast Academy Awards and creator of award-winning podcasts including "Weight For It." Ultimately, whether you consider communication an artistic act OR a professional pursuit, we'll unpack the implications and repercussions of a world where big tech insiders try to replace the HUMAN in the human act of communication. A note: we spoke with Inception Point A.I. CEO Jeanine Wright and invited her to respond to our questions about the company's business model and ethics. Ultimately, she chose not to provide us with any commentary prior to our publishing deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. In a very special episode of Great Bad Movies, our incredible editor Sam picks our movie, and then plants the idea in our dreams. So now we think it was our idea. (He did that by invoking our relationships with our fathers. It's a whole thing.) While Greg and Joe both think this is one of Christopher Nolan's best movies, it is not without some asterisks. Hence: A perfect movie for Sam to pick for our show.

RIGHT OUT OF THEATER REVIEW!! One Battle After Another Movie Review - Paul Thomas Anderson returns with his biggest, boldest film yet — a mix of action, satire, thriller, and dark comedy inspired by Thomas Pynchon's Vineland. Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Django Unchained, Inception) stars as Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary forced to reunite with his old comrades when his daughter is kidnapped. Sean Penn (Mystic River, Milk, Dead Man Walking) plays Colonel Lockjaw, the menacing antagonist who resurfaces after 16 years. Benicio del Toro (Sicario, Traffic, Guardians of the Galaxy) is Sensei Sergio, Bob's unpredictable ally, while Regina Hall (Girls Trip, Scary Movie, The Best Man) and Teyana Taylor (Coming 2 America, A Thousand and One, White Men Can't Jump) round out the revolutionary crew. Rising star Chase Infiniti takes on Willa Ferguson, the daughter whose disappearance sparks the story. The supporting cast includes Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza, Women Talking, Haim music fame), Wood Harris (Remember the Titans, Creed, The Wire), Tony Goldwyn (Ghost, Scandal, Tarzan), and more. With a score by Jonny Greenwood (There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread, The Power of the Dog) and Warner Bros. releasing it in IMAX, VistaVision, and 70mm, this is an epic cinematic experience critics are already calling “cinema at its purest.” Themes include generational conflict, extremism, father-daughter bonds, and the messy fallout of idealism. Packed with big action sequences, wild tonal shifts, and emotional performances, this might be Anderson's most personal film yet.

With his new film One Battle After Another on the horizon, Chantelle and Christian take a deep dive into the evolution of Leonardo DiCaprio's Iconic career. From his early days in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Romeo + Juliet to his legendary collaborations with directors like Scorsese, Nolan, and Tarantino, they break down the performances, risks, and legacy-defining roles that made DiCaprio one of the greatest actors of his generation.Whether it's Titanic, The Departed, Inception, or The Revenant, this episode is backed with admiration and a few surprises as the duo revisits Leo's rise from teen idol to Oscar winner.
Inception promised answers, but instead gave us spinning tops, folding cities, and Leonardo DiCaprio screaming into the void of his own trauma. In this first episode of our two-part dissection of Christopher Nolan's ‘dream heist masterpiece,' we begin to discuss why the film is equal parts brilliant, pretentious, and meme-worthy. From Hans Zimmer's foghorn symphony to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's gravity-defying hallway brawl, we're digging into the subconscious chaos that made Inception the internet's favorite ‘explain this movie' clickbait for over a decade. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

The GBGBs embark on a STRANGE and TWISTED journey into Dark City this week with their watch of.... well... Dark City (1998)! This movie stars Rufus Sewell as Murdoch, a guy with amnesia living in a bizarre dreamlike city ruled by a mysterious secret order called The Strangers. It is often said that this movie set the aesthetic blueprint for movies like The Matrix and Inception, but what do we know? Also discussed: alien abductions, fish eyesight, psychic battles, and soft-launching a new season?? Thanks for stopping by!
This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
In this episode, Christian Szegedy, Chief Scientist at Morph Labs, joins us to discuss how the application of formal mathematics and reasoning enables the creation of more robust and safer AI systems. A pioneer behind concepts like the Inception architecture and adversarial examples, Christian now focuses on autoformalization—the AI-driven process of translating mathematical concepts from their human-readable form into rigorously formal, machine-verifiable logic. We explore the critical distinction between the informal reasoning of current LLMs, which can be prone to errors and subversion, and the provably correct reasoning enabled by formal systems. Christian outlines how this approach provides a robust path toward AI safety and also creates the high-quality, verifiable data needed to train models capable of surpassing human scientists in specialized domains. We also delve into his predictions for achieving this superintelligence and his ultimate vision for AI as a tool that helps humanity understand itself. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at https://twimlai.com/go/745.
In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton welcomes Sergio Loaiza, founder of Protect Your Legacy, a financial education firm. They discuss the importance of financial sovereignty, the concept of infinite banking, and how to build a legacy for future generations. Sergio shares his personal journey, the significance of surrounding oneself with the right people, and the mindset needed for financial success. The conversation emphasizes the need for financial education and the impact of personal experiences on one's perspective on life and finances. Takeaways The system isn't broken; we just don't know the rules. Protecting your legacy starts with protecting it now. Surround yourself with good-quality people. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of questions you ask. Money is like air; when you have it, you don't think about it. You can choose to believe in the principles or not. If you pay cash, that cash is gone forever. You can become your banker. Life is easier when you have your finances under control. You have to be so confident in who you are.
