Prefabrication works differently in highly regulated environments. In this episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt sits down with David O'Connell to explore how prefabrication, modular construction, and industrialized strategies perform inside life sciences, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and cleanroom construction. When time to market can mean tens of millions of dollars per day, construction strategy becomes a business-critical decision. But in regulated environments, every weld, inspection, and document must meet strict compliance standards. This conversation unpacks where prefabrication truly adds value in pharma and semiconductor projects, where full modular building approaches struggle, and why regulatory alignment is often the deciding factor. If you are involved in life sciences construction, cleanroom facilities, modular construction, or industrialized project delivery, this episode delivers a grounded and practical perspective.   You'll Learn Why full building modular often struggles in life sciences construction Where prefabrication works best in pharmaceutical and cleanroom environments How regulatory inspections shape prefab strategy Why partnering with agencies having jurisdiction is critical How time to market drives construction decisions in drug manufacturing The financial impact of schedule acceleration in regulated facilities   Meet Our Guest David O'Connell brings decades of experience across semiconductor, life sciences, and pharmaceutical construction. With a background shaped by multiple generations in construction and deep experience delivering highly technical facilities, he has worked at the intersection of prefabrication, regulatory compliance, and time-critical project delivery. His perspective bridges traditional construction methods and modern industrialized strategies, particularly in cleanroom environments and drug manufacturing facilities where documentation, inspection, and compliance are paramount.   Todd Takes Prefabrication Has to Respect Regulation. In pharmaceutical and life sciences construction, compliance is non-negotiable. Prefabrication does not remove regulatory scrutiny. It demands earlier coordination and stronger documentation. Inspectors and agencies must be brought in as partners, not treated as obstacles. Not Everything Should Be Modular. Full building modular has not consistently succeeded in highly regulated environments. Prefabrication often works best in repeatable components such as utility racks, panels, and cleanroom assemblies. Industrialized construction is not all or nothing. Strategic application matters. Time to Market Changes the Equation. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, delayed production can mean millions of dollars per day. That reality shifts the conversation from cost savings to schedule certainty and risk mitigation. Prefabrication becomes a strategic lever for accelerating capacity while maintaining compliance.   More Resources   Thanks for listening!

This special episode of The GovNavigators Show features a live conversation with Socure's Jordan Burris, former chief of staff to the Federal CIO, recorded at the Government Executive Federal Technology Priorities Conference.Jordan lays out a stark warning: modern fraud is not a series of isolated schemes, it's an industrialized, AI-enabled ecosystem operating at global scale. He explains how adversaries are using the same large language models, automation, and data-sharing techniques as legitimate organizations to defeat traditional identity controls in days instead of months, creating what he calls a “zero-day” environment for fraud.The discussion explores why long-standing federal fraud defenses are being outpaced, how commercial sectors have pulled ahead, and what agencies can do now to measure risk, modernize verification, and collaborate across silos. With hundreds of billions of dollars at stake each year, Jordan argues the government must move faster, test new approaches, and learn from industries already fighting these threats in real time.If you care about improper payments, digital service delivery, customer experience, or cybersecurity, this is a roadmap for how identity has become the front line.Show Notes:USA Today's story on Socure's age verification workSupreme Court rules against the administration's tariffsICYMI: upcoming changes to 8(a)What's on the GovNavigators' Radar:Feb 24, 2026:Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Hearing on Security ClearancesState of the Union AddressMar 4, 2026:Alliance for Digital Innovation's Understanding OneGov: Discussions with GSA LeadershipMar 5, 2026:Driving Government Efficiency Summit

Vandaag bespreken we het boek, Stop chasing happiness van Frank Martela. De ondertitel is: A pessimist's guide to a good life Frank Martela, PhD, is filosoof en onderzoeker op het gebied van psychologie en werkt als assistent-professor aan de Aalto-universiteit in Finland. Op YouTube vind je videos van zijn TEDx talks https://youtu.be/rdKBZbTCVFY?si=zhM7QzWpEUTwwXDd https://youtu.be/egFuBtCc6Aw?si=fTl-s4iCPkv2x529 https://youtu.be/EqwoOfpM6Ks?si=T6xuuLOJ6r-uLt_B Stop chasing happiness is van maart 2025 Hij schreef eerder Een prachtig leven (2020) - A wonderful life. https://www.frankmartela.com/books Zijn YT kanaal https://www.youtube.com/@frankmartela Ik vind het een fijn, leuk en interessant boek. Gaandeweg het boek realiseerde ik me hoe stoicijns de Finnen zijn. Ik heb mooi dingen uit boek gehaald die voor mijn gevoel bijdragen aan een goed leven. Het boek is opgedeeld in blokken: Kill the ego Kill the expextations Start living your own life Introduction: Are you ready to be born for the third time? Finland - the land of quiet satisfaction. The art of accepting life (stoicism, Taoism, to Buddhism), while pursuing goals and projects you find valuable. Physical birth, cultural birth, and now the birth of an individual Identify goals and values that are truly your own (not from your partner, parents) Part I Kill the ego 1 Stop caring about your own happiness You are seeking happiness in the wrong places To attempt to maximize happiness ironically diminishes it Exclusive focus on your own happiness makes you selfish and lonely The tyranny of toxic positivity makes inevitable moments of unhappiness intolerable 2 Stop caring about what others think 3 Stop caring about how you feel Part II Kill the expectations 4 Stop Caring about your past 5 Stop caring about what happens in the world 6 Stop caring about your future success 7 Intermission: The centre of indifference The fact that nothing really matters can be highly liberating. p125 Nothing binds you. There is nothing you have to do to make your life worthy. There is no wrong way to spend a life. - Love it. Je hoeft dus ook niemand te veroordelen. Het verleden kunnen we niet veranderen. Jouw acties kunnen de toekomst veranderen. Dus kun je het beste concentreren op een betere toekomst te realiseren. - Meliora (beter) No single person can alter the course of an overwhelming issue like climate change. But by doing what we can to be a part of the solution, we remain active, energized, and purposeful. Frankl : What man actually needs is not tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal. Part III Start living your own life 8 Start caring about yourself 9 Start caring about others 10 Start caring about building a better world Conclusion: The delicate art of not caring while caring deeply Life is the best thing that has happened to you, but also the worst. p183 Accept the present and pursue a better future for yourself and for us all. Playful striving - het gaat niet om competitie maar wel om iets na te streven. Voor mensen die altijd bezig zijn met competitie wordt het leven een continu project. 187 Epicurus - Stoic  Mooi moto - Put in the work and dare greatly. Dare to enter the arena and leave your own mark (nalatenschap en goed leven) When you have found your direction, dare to follow it. You may succeed, you may fail. But even if you fail, you fail while daring greatly. (love it) It is a miracle that you exist p 192 In the end, there is nothing you have to do. Nothing you have to be. Just be. p193 Opvallende lessen uit het boek voor ons: 00:00 intro - een eerste indruk van het boek 03:40 Tom's eerste indruk van het boek en waarom Tom het boek heeft gekocht. 09:20 De Finnen zijn gelukkig zonder daar echt over te praten. 10:05 De derde geboorte na het lezen van dit boek. 11:25 De verbinding met wat de normen, waarden en denkwijze die we van onze ouders hebben meegekregen, tot het moment dat je het je eigen weg kiest. 13:20 Mensen die zich druk maken over gelukkig zijn, zijn over het algemeen minder gelukkig dan mensen die zich daar niet druk over maken. 15:50 De tirannie van giftige positiviteit, maken de moeilijke momenten onaanvaardbaar. 18:40 Als je middenin in de cultuur zit is het lastig om te zien dat jouw cultuur bijzonder is. Daarvoor moet je eerst in contact komen met een andere cultuur. 20:05 "Wie gelukkig is moet het niet aan anderen laten zien." 21:00 Als je af en toe niet aardig gevonden wordt dan is dat een bewijs dat je de vrijheid uitoefent om jezelf te zijn. 23:10 Aan het einde van je leven spijt van hebt dat je niet het lef hebt gehad om die te zijn die je eigenlijk bent. 26:00 Je wil een distantie ontwikkelen en je gevoelens beschrijven, 'Ik voel dat ik boos ben.' 26:20 Je bent niet je emoties, je hebt emoties. 30:10 Momenten van rust en stoïcijnse oefeningen in het dagelijkse vinden. 32:30 Je verleden kun je alleen veranderen door de acties die je in de toekomst onderneemt. 34:40 Wat is het verleden waar je in de toekomst op terug wil kijken? 36:50 Met al je aandacht in het heden en nu zijn. 38:00 Met het 'het is zoals het is' als basis opnieuw nadenken over welk verschil kan ik dan maken. 42:05 Bij beslissingen maak je niet druk over mogelijk succes in de toekost. Succes kan volgen, en kan ook niet. Leef het leven dat je wilt onafhankelijk van toekomstige verwachtingen. 43:10 Het effect van je realiseren dat niets er toe doet kan heel bevrijdend zijn. 45:50 Er is niets dat je hoeft te doen. Er is geen verkeerde manier om te leven. 46:50 Meliora, beter. Wat kan vandaag doen om iets beter te maken. 48:15 Ken jezelf. Weet wat je leuk vindt, want dan kun je daar aandacht aan geven. 49:35 Hoeveel tijd besteed je aan de mensen die het meest belangrijk zijn in je leven? 51:40 Doe drie kleine aardige dingen op een dag. 53:30 Neem waar je bent als startpunt en kijk om je heen naar kleine dingen die nu moeten worden opgelost. 54:50 Commiteer je aan het proces en niet aan het doel. 57:15 Neem het heft in eigen hand en doe waar je zin hebt. 58:05 Niet geven om het resultaat en tegelijkertijd je er wel druk voor maakt. 58:35 Het feit dat je leeft is een wonder. Maak gebruik van dat wonder. 1:00:05 Put in the work and dare greatly. Enter the arena and dare to leave your own mark.

What if postpartum wasn't something to “bounce back” from, but a sacred window of deep rest, healing, and care? A time to slow down and transform. In this episode, I am joined by Jojo Hogan, a postpartum doula, massage therapist, and the founder of the Slow Postpartum Movement. Together, we explore how new mothers can reclaim rest, support, and sacredness during the early weeks after birth. Jojo shares her journey into postpartum work, the philosophy behind ‘mothering the mother,' and why so many new parents feel overwhelmed and unsupported in today's “WEIRD” (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) culture. From redefining the postpartum experience to practical strategies for preparing in advance, this episode offers a wealth of insight for expectant parents, birth workers, and anyone passionate about maternal wellbeing. Jojo and I chat about: What a postpartum doula really does Why mothers were never meant to raise The origins and philosophy of the Slow Postpartum Movement How traditional cultures nurture postpartum mothers and what we've lost Planning for postpartum like we plan for birth Mindset shifts including asking for help and investing in services over stuff Co-regulation, nervous system care, and how maternal wellbeing shapes infant development Creating a postpartum “village” even without local family Preparing emotionally, physically, and practically for postpartum life Why slow living isn't just for mothers Jojo Hogan is a UK-based postpartum doula, massage therapist, and founder of the Slow Postpartum Movement. With a background that includes running a pregnancy and postpartum wellness spa in New Zealand, Jojo brings a deeply holistic and caring approach to supporting new mothers – focusing on nourishing the mother first through rest, gentle childcare, nourishing meals, and emotional support. She guides families to reclaim postpartum as a sacred, intentional healing period rather than something to be rushed through, blending traditional wisdom with slow living philosophy.

Amas Tenumah explains why customer service is not "broken" but intentionally designed to fail. Drawing on decades inside contact centers, historical research, and real corporate incentives, he argues that long waits, deflection, and automation-first strategies are features—not bugs. The conversation dismantles common CX myths, challenges executive complacency, and frames consumer behavior as the only force capable of triggering real change. Core Themes The Suffering Economy of Customer Service: When service is universally bad across industries, it's systemic. Incentives—not incompetence—drive outcomes. Why This Is a "How Dare You" Book: The indictment is aimed squarely at executives who treat service as a cost center while overfunding marketing narratives. Marketing Replaced Service as Trust Mechanism: Historically, service was marketing. Industrialized marketing severed that link, allowing companies to tolerate bad service and buy growth instead. Metrics That Poison Service: Deflection, containment, and avoidance KPIs reward companies for not talking to customers—while punishing leaders who try to deliver what customers actually want. Wait Times Are Engineered: Hold times are budgeted, modeled, and accepted. They are designed friction, not operational accidents. AI as Distance, Not Salvation: AI is currently deployed to protect companies from customers, not customers from friction. It scales avoidance unless incentives change. Executives Don't Experience Their Own Service: Many leaders despise customer service—just not their own. Forcing executives to call their own 1-800 numbers is revelatory and uncomfortable. The Revolt Is Consumer-Led: Change will not come from CX professionals alone. It comes when consumers punish bad service with their wallets and reward companies that respect their time. Notable Moments The opening story of the 1750 BC clay tablet complaint—the first recorded customer service grievance—reads like a modern Amazon review. The Chipotle refund anecdote exposes time theft: hours of customer labor to recover trivial amounts of money. The contrast between automation done for customers versus automation used to avoid them. Practical Takeaways For Consumers: Vote with your wallet. Pay slightly more. Wait one more day. Call customer service before you buy big-ticket items. For Service Leaders: If your CEO doesn't believe in service as value creation, your job is to change their mind—or change jobs. Data plus customer stories are the leverage. For Executives: Service is deferred revenue protection. Treating it purely as cost is strategic malpractice.

On this week's episode of The Origins Podcast, I ended up in a place I genuinely never expected to go: the humble “like” button. When the idea first landed in my inbox, my reaction was basically, why on Earth would anyone write a whole book about that? Then I spoke with Martin Reeves, and I discovered that the history of this tiny icon is a surprisingly rich window into innovation, entrepreneurship, human psychology, and the modern attention economy.Martin is a senior figure at BCG's Henderson Institute, but what made the conversation especially fun for me is that he is not a consultant who wandered into science. He has a background in science, and then wandered into the world of strategy, technology, and ideas, and he approaches the “like” button the way I wish more people approached our digital world: with curiosity, skepticism, and a willingness to follow evidence across disciplines.The central irony, of course, is that the “like” button began as an almost laughably small, practical solution. In the story Martin and his coauthor reconstructs, it is often less about a single inventor than about a messy ecosystem of micro innovations, technical constraints, and cultural accidents. Yet those small choices compound. The result is that something as simple as a handful of code became a universal signal that helped shape social media, transformed advertising, and created feedback loops that are now baked into the infrastructure of daily life.We also dig into why it works so well on us. The mechanisms are not mysterious in the abstract, they are biological and social, but the scale is unprecedented. Approval and recognition are ancient. Industrialized approval is new. And once you start thinking that way, you notice how these same feedback dynamics are spreading into new domains, including the tools we now use to interact with AI.This conversation surprised me, and I suspect it will surprise you too. Indeed, if you are like me, and wondered why the like-button is worth discussing, you will be surprised to learn how much of the modern world is quietly organized around it.

Jenni Harris, Will's middle daughter, is a member of the fifth generation of the Harris family to tend cattle at White Oak Pastures. After living on the farm her entire life, Jenni went to Valdosta State University and earned a degree in Business Marketing, graduating in 2009. She remained intimately involved in the family business throughout her studies. After graduating, Jenni set out to learn the industry. She moved to Atlanta where she interned at Buckhead Beef, a SYSCO company. She put in time in every department, from shipping and receiving to the cut shop, and was later hired to work as a sales associate. In June of 2010, Jenni returned home to Early County to work for White Oak Pastures full time. As the Director of Marketing, Jenni spends her time focusing on the balance of ecommerce growth and wholesale relationships. Jenni is the proud mother of Jack and Lottie Harris, and wife of Director of Specialty Products, Amber Harris. In this episode, Jenni Harris shares how their multi-generational farm shifted from industrial to regenerative agriculture, restoring soil health and biodiversity through multi-species rotational grazing that mimics nature. She debunks the idea that eliminating meat consumption is the problem, arguing that well-managed livestock are essential to the carbon cycle and rural economies. She explains that cheap-food demand drove the rise of destructive industrial practices, and the real solution lies in consumers supporting local regenerative farmers to heal the land and rebuild a balanced food system.   RESOURCES: Learn more about White Oak Pastures here: https://whiteoakpastures.com Instagram: @whiteoakpastures Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whiteoakpastures/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/whiteoakpastures Blog: https://blog.whiteoakpastures.com/blog Watch the water cycle vide mentioned here: https://youtu.be/85El8PzfKa4?si=9tIJMghJ03DAZRVz Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 7:18 White Oak Pastures 14:50 What regenerative agriculture is about 23:47 The impact of stopping meat consumption 33:33 Farmers are responding to consumer demand 39:80 Industrialized practices tip off nature's balance 50:20 Support local farmers   WORK WITH ME: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?

The human gut microbiome is tightly linked our health. Our analyses of diverse human populations from around the globe, ranging from hunter-gatherer to industrialized, show that the gut microbiome is profoundly influenced by lifestyle. With a large collaborative team, we conducted deep metagenomic sequencing of the gut microbiomes of Tsimane horticulturalists from Bolivia and compared them to those of Hadza hunter-gatherers from Tanzania. We are also investigating whether diet and microbial therapies can address deficiencies in the industrialized gut community. Molecular mechanisms of host-microbial interaction are pursued using an array of technologies and experimental approaches including gnotobiotic and conventional mouse models, quantitative imaging, and a metabolomics pipeline focused on investigating microbiota-dependent metabolites.

With a large collaborative team, we conducted deep metagenomic sequencing of the gut microbiomes of Tsimane horticulturalists from Bolivia and compared them to those of Hadza hunter-gatherers from Tanzania. We are also investigating whether diet and microbial therapies can address deficiencies in the industrialized gut community. Molecular mechanisms of host-microbial interaction are pursued using an array of technologies and experimental approaches including gnotobiotic and conventional mouse models, quantitative imaging, and a metabolomics pipeline focused on investigating microbiota-dependent metabolites.

What do your skin, your gut, and your daily habits have in common?  Dr. Mary Alice Mina and Dr. Katrina Coulter take a deep dive into the powerful connection between gut health, skin health, and the impact of today's food systems. They explore the importance of maintaining a healthy microbiome through a diverse, fiber-rich diet, fermented foods, and mindful antibiotic use. You'll learn how hydration, sleep, exercise, and lifestyle choices shape gut microbiome diversity—and why even small daily habits matter. They also discuss the effects of antibiotics on both gut and skin, discuss the role of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, and share insights into GLP-1 agonists and gut health. Plus, they explain simple ways to assess gut health through digestion and other key indicators. If you've ever wondered how to support your skin and gut without overcomplicating things, this is your go-to guide for simple, everyday shifts!   Key Takeaways: - The gut microbiome consists of trillions of microbes essential for human health. - Skin and gut health are interconnected, with imbalances leading to inflammation. - Industrialized food systems contribute to the loss of microbiome diversity. - Fiber is crucial for gut health, with most people consuming far too little. - Fermented foods provide beneficial bacteria and support gut health. - Prebiotics are the food that gut bacteria thrive on, primarily fiber. - Probiotics are live beneficial microbes that support gut health. - Antibiotics can disrupt both gut and skin health, leading to various side effects. - Minimizing the use of antibiotics is important for maintaining gut health. - A diverse diet rich in whole foods is essential for a healthy microbiome.  - Hydration can significantly impact health, including skin and urinary tract health. - Antibiotics are often overprescribed; not every condition requires them. - Sedentary lifestyles negatively affect gut microbiome diversity. - Basic lifestyle changes can lead to significant health improvements. - The gut plays a crucial role in immune function and overall health. - Eating locally can enhance gut health and biodiversity. - GLP-1 agonists may shift gut microbiome profiles positively. - Regular bowel movements are a key indicator of gut health. - Keeping a food diary can help identify gut health issues. - Skin conditions may be linked to gut health and dietary choices.

Keith and Mike examine the nuances of modern dating with the clinical detachment of two men who've spent far too much time on dating apps. They begin by dissecting the increasingly common expectation for men to send daily "good morning" texts, a phenomenon Keith describes as both psychologically revealing and extremely stupid. Mike proposes outsourcing these texts to offshore call centers or an AI assistant, both of which he suspects would outperform the average man. The segment concludes with a meditation on communication as performance versus communication as evidence of actual affection. The conversation then drifts, as it often does, into a granular exploration of sexual technique, including thrusting strategies, vocal coaching, and the sociocultural ramifications of vigorous fingering. Keith offers a brief anatomical aside on the bone structure of mammalian penises, which is less of a non sequitur than it sounds. Mike draws a comparison between poorly instructed fingering and receiving directions like “touch me like a grapefruit,” which somehow makes sense in context. There is also a serious discussion of how women might coach men toward more satisfying encounters, though no conclusive solution is reached. From there, the hosts turn their attention to the challenges facing women in their mid-30s who are trying to find a long-term partner before their fertility window closes. Keith outlines a strategy he calls "industrialized dating," inspired by a friend who scheduled more than ten first dates per week and maintained a spreadsheet to keep track. Mike compares this to the scheduling practices of professional sex workers, which is meant as a compliment. They explore whether delaying sex can effectively filter out unserious suitors, or if it merely selects for the most patient ones. Finally, the hosts circle back to the central dilemma: how can women efficiently vet potential husbands without becoming either emotionally drained or what Mike refers to as "a sex worker for free." Various strategies are proposed, including cryptic date-countdown policies and ambiguous sexual timelines designed to disorient men just enough to reveal their true intentions. Keith recommends maximizing throughput. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

What's driving the surge in prefabrication? How do we shift the industry mindset to embrace standardization and long-term partnerships? And where does AI fit into all of this? In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Todd Weyandt sits down with Matt Graves, third-generation builder and leader at Great Lakes Prefabrication, live from Advancing Prefab. Matt shares his journey from swinging a hammer straight out of Purdue to pioneering prefab solutions that are redefining construction workflows. Key Takeaways:

In this episode, straight from Advancing Prefabrication 2025, Todd welcomes back Amy Marks, the Queen of Prefab, for an insightful discussion on the evolving landscape of industrialized construction. Amy shares how prefabrication is becoming the norm, the critical role of strategic partnerships, and why culture fit is key to success in the industry.

In 1790s Philadelphia, things began to change rapidly. One man, John Nicholson, sought to take advantage of these changes and build a modern industrialized factory on the banks of the Schuylkill River. But he kept running into one persistent issue: his workers expected to be paid. Originally aired: May 16, 2022.Support the showwww.laborjawn.com

Send us a textShort Summary: How human culture and psychology have evolved, particularly exploring the unique psychological traits of "WEIRD" (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) societies, providing insights into why our minds and societies are the way they are today.About the Guest: Joe Henrich, PhD is a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University. His research focuses on applying evolutionary theory to understand the human mind and culture, particularly how cultural evolution has led to the emergence of WEIRD psychology.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and to everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere.Key Takeaways:WEIRD Psychology: WEIRD stands for Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic, highlighting unique psychological traits like individualism and analytic thinking which are not universal but specific to Western societies.Marriage & Kinship: The Western Church's marriage policies, promoting monogamy and the nuclear family, contributed to the dissolution of extended kinship networks, fostering individualism in Western societies.Institutional Influence: Institutions in WEIRD societies, like universities and legal systems, focus on individual rights and mental states, contrasting with other cultures emphasizing group or kin loyalty.Modern Challenges: Henrich touches on current issues like the impact of dating apps on mating markets, potentially leading to social instability due to increased male-female inequality in mating success.Future of Religion and Culture: The conversation speculates on the future evolution of religion and cultural practices, suggesting that religions fostering high fertility and communal support might gain prominence.Related episode:M&M #129: Biological Sex, Sexual Selection, Sex Behavior, Mating Strategies, Sexual Orientation, Monogamy & Polygyny | David Puts*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes (audio & video), show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: MASA Chips—delicious tortilla chips made from organic corn and grass-fed beef tallow.

La grande majorité des études en psychologie font face à un biais significatif en raison de leur concentration sur des populations spécifiques. Environ 95 % des expériences psychologiques sont menées dans des pays occidentaux, et les deux tiers d'entre elles aux États-Unis, où les participants sont souvent des étudiants en psychologie. Ce biais méthodologique massif a un nom : WEIRD, un acronyme pour Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (Occidentaux, Éduqués, Industrialisés, Riches et Démocratiques). Le biais WEIRD : une limitation majeure Les participants des études WEIRD ne représentent qu'une infime portion de la population mondiale, mais leurs comportements, leurs perceptions et leurs réactions servent souvent de base pour généraliser des conclusions sur l'ensemble de l'humanité. Ces populations sont culturellement homogènes, généralement jeunes, urbaines, et issues de systèmes éducatifs et économiques spécifiques. Or, les différences culturelles, économiques et sociales influencent considérablement les processus cognitifs, les comportements et les émotions. Par exemple, les notions de soi et d'indépendance, largement étudiées en Occident, diffèrent radicalement dans les sociétés collectivistes comme celles de l'Asie ou de l'Afrique. Ce qui semble être une norme psychologique universelle dans une étude WEIRD peut ne pas exister dans d'autres contextes culturels. Les limites scientifiques des études WEIRD Ce biais a des conséquences majeures : 1. Manque de diversité des échantillons : Les conclusions tirées des études WEIRD ne tiennent pas compte de la majorité des cultures humaines. Par conséquent, elles risquent de surestimer ou sous-estimer certains phénomènes psychologiques. 2. Problèmes d'applicabilité : Les théories psychologiques basées sur des échantillons WEIRD peuvent ne pas s'appliquer aux populations non-WEIRD, rendant les interventions ou traitements peu efficaces. 3. Déformation des priorités de recherche : Les problèmes psychologiques spécifiques aux sociétés occidentales sont surreprésentés, au détriment d'autres questions pertinentes pour des populations différentes. Vers une psychologie plus universelle Pour surmonter le biais WEIRD, la psychologie doit inclure des échantillons plus diversifiés, intégrant des cultures non-occidentales, des groupes socio-économiques variés, et des environnements ruraux ou non industrialisés. Cela nécessite une collaboration internationale, un financement accru pour les études multiculturelles, et une remise en question des standards actuels. En résumé, bien que les études WEIRD aient permis des avancées significatives, leur portée est limitée par un biais qui réduit leur universalité. Une psychologie véritablement globale doit embrasser la diversité humaine dans toute sa richesse. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Welcome to our season 9 finale, this generous, vulnerable conversation with Hoffman grad, Kevjorik Jones, and host, Drew Horning. There are many reasons why people come to the Hoffman Process — as many reasons as people who have graduated from the Process. Kevjorik, a self-described consummate student of the human condition, came because he felt he was falling short. He was aware of the powers and opportunities he had. He was aware of the great relationships in his life. And yet, Kevjorik sensed he was falling short of living up to all he sensed he could become. In October 2024, Kevjorik completed his Process at the Guest House, the Hoffman Retreat Site in Chester, CT. Nature and the labyrinth on site provided a lot of healing. Rising early in the morning, Kevjorik would walk the labyrinth. One morning, he entered the labyrinth feeling shame. He emerged feeling connected to his child within. The beauty of this conversation lies in the generous stories Kevjorik shares with us. He offers stories of his childhood, the trauma he experienced, and the courage he found to do the deep work of the Process to heal the pain of his past. We hope you enjoy this moving, enlightening, uplifting conversation with Kevjorik and Drew. Thank you for listening to the Hoffman Podcast. We will be back for season 10 in early 2025. Happy New Year! More about Kevjorik Jones: Kevjorik is a real estate finance professional based in Washington, DC. From a young age, he developed a profound curiosity about the human spirit, the nature of existence, and the pursuit of enlightenment. Raised in a broken home, his adult life has been devoted to understanding the lasting impacts of social suppression—shaped by colonialism, racism, and polarization—on community, family, and personal achievement. During college, Kevjorik founded an organization to teach students entrepreneurial skills while pursuing careers in technology and real estate. Around this time, he discovered a spiritual connection to his African roots when he traveled to Ghana, West Africa. There, Kevjorik deepened his curiosity about the consequences of being uprooted and the maladaptations that emerge from being disconnected from one's origins through this experience. Today, Kevjorik is focused on village-building as a solution to the challenges posed by the WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) parenting model, which isolates the individual from the collective whole. He believes that fostering interconnected communities can alleviate these strains. Kevjorik is blessed to have met his soulmate, now his wife of 15 years, just before his trip to Ghana. Together, they have built a loving family of four and a supportive network of like-minded individuals committed to growth, healing, and mutual care. Kevjorik's relationships have been deeply affected by the legacy of his childhood trauma. This eventually led him to the Hoffman Process. Before embarking on his Hoffman week, Kevjorik's primary goal was to break free from limiting thoughts and behaviors. Patterns of self-doubt and indecision had kept him from fully embracing life. Kevjorik has integrated tools from the Process into his daily life. He is committed to keeping his heart open, loving deeply, and living in alignment with his true purpose.

The international climate negotiation process stands at a critical juncture. At the recent COP29 summit in Azerbaijan, nations struggled to find common ground on financial support and carbon market strategies, all while grappling with the persistent influence of fossil fuel industries.  Industrialized countries did pledge $300 billion to help developing nations adapt to climate change, but scientists say the commitment is still far short of the trillion dollars needed to prevent catastrophic environmental impacts.  So, how can global leaders close the financing gap? And what practical approaches can ensure meaningful progress in climate negotiations amid rapidly changing political landscapes? This week host Bill Loveless talks with Elliot Diringer about the COP process and what the outcome of this year's summit means for the global energy transition. Elliot is a global fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA, directing the Center's International Dialogue on Climate and Trade. He served as a senior policy advisor to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry and led the establishment of the Energy Transition Accelerator under the Biden administration. Elliot also spent more than 20 years at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, serving as the head of the international program. He has attended 26 Conference of the Parties summits, most recently attending COP29 in Azerbaijan.

In the opening episode of the Future in the Humanities podcast mini-series, titled "Touching Brains", Wits University research collaborators Sahba Besharati and Victoria Williams let us in on their multidisciplinary exploration of the complex impact of COVID-19 on human interaction and touch. Featuring insights from various studies and discussions around the experiences of parents and caregivers during the pandemic, Andile Masuku (host), examines the significance of physical contact, the resilience of human beings and the potential long-term effects of altered social interactions. Key themes: - Perception of touch across societies: We pose the question: Is touch perceived differently across cultures? This episode examines how various societies interpret and engage in physical contact, influenced by factors like cultural norms and societal structures. - COVID-19 and proximity: We discuss how the pandemic has reshaped perceptions of proximity and touch, as health protocols and safety measures have altered traditional practices and interactions. - Humanities and neurosciences connection: The episode connects the humanities and neurosciences, demonstrating that a greater understanding of localized experiences can enhance rather than challenge universal principles. Most of the world is not 'WEIRD' (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic), yet much research in fields like psychology and neuroscience has historically been conducted in WEIRD contexts. This raises questions about the applicability of such research to diverse populations. - Resilience of families: Despite the challenges, we explore the resilience of families in fostering connections during the pandemic and how lockdowns may have strengthened bonds. - Long-term implications of touch: We address the significance of touch in maintaining social relationships and contemplate the potential long-term effects of social deprivation on mental health and development.

If we do absolutely nothing to mitigate climate change, scientists estimate the toll could be $38 trillion a year in damages. Industrialized countries like the United States, China, Russia and European nations are the biggest contributors to the problem, but as things stand, they probably won't pay most of the costs from catastrophes that happen in other parts of the world. Transitioning to clean energy and staving off the worst possible climate harms will cost less in the long run, but requires investment now. What can spur the private financial sector to get excited about clean energy investment? Former climate envoy and U.S. secretary of state John Kerry joins Anne Finucane of TPG Rise Climate Fund and Vijay Vaitheeswaran, the global energy and climate innovation editor of The Economist for a strategic conversation at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival on how to get funding for climate mitigation projects to move faster.

I had a conversation with Joesph Henrich, a distinguished anthropologist and evolutionary biologist at Harvard. Renowned for his interdisciplinary research on cultural evolution and the origins of WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) societies, Joseph is a deep dude.We had a wide-ranging discussion on topics such as cultural learning, social contagion, and the WEIRD phenomenon. We explored the interplay between truth and religion, the economic and political impacts of kinship structures, and cognitive development in non-schooled environments. Additionally, we talked about David Deutsch's work on falsifiability and its role in building systems of knowledge, divination, witchcraft, rationality, and the question of who might be considered the "weirdest" people in the world.Watch this episode on YouTube.Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies - The Beltway BriefingListen for of-the-moment insider insights, framed by the rapidly changing social and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify LifeLine 911A podcast hosted by 911 First Responders to discuss issues and stories in the field.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Healthy Benefits of Home Baked Bread In addition to being more flavorful and aesthetic, homemade bread can be a much healthier alternative to store-bought bread. The bread you bake at home can be lower in sodium and sugar.  In addition to the whole grain goodness of your bread, you can also add a variety of seeds. Try sesame, pumpkin, linseed and sunflower seeds in and on top of your loaves for additional dietary fiber, protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants. We also need to talk about what will not be found in your home baked goods. Homemade bread will not contain additives. Have you ever looked at the list of ingredients that goes into a loaf of supermarket bread? …So many chemicals that are surely not healthy to eat, right? The list of additives used in industrial baking will include rising agents, emulsifiers, and preservatives to give it a longer shelf life. All of this is about profit and not about your good health. When you bake bread in your home kitchen, you will use only real food ingredients!  What makes factory baked bread products typically unhealthy? Industrialized breads often use refined flour as a base ingredient, but may also include other ingredients such as:  Soya flour This flour is made from uncooked soya beans and helps strengthen dough, giving loaves structure and support during baking. It also contributes to a creamy, "bready" flavor.  Preservatives These are added to meet the shelf-life requirements. This is about profit and not about your good health! Enzymes These are added to adapt the dough to suit the production machinery.  Flour improvers These are blends of ingredients that enhance the flour, such as fat, flour treatment agents, emulsifiers, and enzymes.  L-ascorbic acid This oxidant helps retain gas in the dough, which makes the loaf rise more.  ___________________________________________________ Yeast in Baking…Is It Safe to Eat Yeast? Yeast is a single cell fungus that helps the bread to rise and become soft and spongy. Yeast is a living bacteria that dies when put into an environment that is 125 degrees or higher.  When you bake your bread the yeast will die. There are many types of yeast used in baking. Some of them are commercial and some of them are extracted from fruit and grains. However, any type of yeast that is used in our bread baking, is completely safe unless it is consumed in raw form. ©2024 AnyBodyCanBake

Have you ever wondered why your tap water tastes the way it does? The Taste of Water explores the increasing erasure of tastes from drinking water over the twentieth century. It asks how dramatic changes in municipal water treatment have altered consumers' awareness of the environment their water comes from. Through examining the development of sensory expertise in the United States and France, this unique history uncovers the foundational role of palatability in shaping Western water treatment processes. By focusing on the relationship between taste and the environment, Christy Spackman shows how efforts to erase unwanted tastes and smells have transformed water into a highly industrialized food product divorced from its origins. The Taste of Water invites readers to question their own assumptions about what water does and should naturally taste like while exposing them to the invisible—but substantial—sensory labor involved in creating tap water.Christy Spackman is Assistant Professor of Art/Science at Arizona State University and Director of the Sensory Labor(atory), an experimental research collective dedicated to creatively disrupting longstanding sensory hierarchies.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://www.wellingtonsquarebooks.com/book/9780520393547

This is re-release of one of our favourite episodes: Mainstream parenting is W.E.I.R.D! Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic. Well, maybe not everyone. But parenting in North American culture has changed a lot in the past few hundred years and it's a lot different currently than some other places in the world.  My guest in this podcast set out to look at how some other families around the world operate, how American parenting is different, and what we can learn from parents in other places. Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, is the author of the New York Times bestseller Hunt, Gather, Parent. The book describes a way of raising helpful and confident children, which moms and dads have turned to for millennia. It also explains how American families can incorporate this approach into their busy lives. Doucleff is also a global health correspondent for NPR's Science Desk, where she reports about disease outbreaks and children's health.  We cover: [3:00] Why Michaeleen wrote her book and what influenced it [6:30] How the nuclear family has been a failed social experiment  [13:10] Michaeleen's TEAM acronym  [20:00] The interesting thing about encouraging our kids to develop autonomy  [37:30] The importance of having minimal interference with our kids [45:55] Culturally specific traits when raising kids [52:00] Advice Michaeleen would give her younger parent self Download the episode transcript HERE Resources mentioned in this episode:   Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff Brain-Body Parenting by Dr. Mona Delahooke www.michaeleendoucleff.com Connect with Sarah Rosensweet: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahrosensweet/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/peacefulparentingfreegroup Website: https://reimaginepeacefulparenting.com/ Join us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/peacefulparenting Newsletter: https://reimaginepeacefulparenting.com/newsletter Book a short consult or coaching session call: https://book-with-sarah-rosensweet.as.me/schedule.php

Send me a DM! ILY All!I know you will all be just as excited as I am to have back on the show one of our most requested and beloved guests: Top tier MONARCH operator and whistleblower, Founder of ‘Organize Safety', podcast host of ‘The Grey Area', anti-child abuse and survivor advocate, former GATE kid, all around badass warrior, and the absolute love of my life: Grey!A little bit about Grey if you're new here or missed his first episode where he shared his harrowing and inspiring testimony: Grey was born in New York into a multi-generational occult bloodline family and from a very young age, was groomed and programmed by his family, family acquaintances, and eventually the government and military to become a top tier skilled assassin and operator through MONARCH and other mind control experimentation projects funded by the CIA. After a traumatic event occurred when he was 8, his family relocated from New York to Tennessee where his abuse continued unbeknownst to him, and It wouldn't be until Grey was 25 that the two paths of the double life he was living would violently and suddenly collide, revealing every repressed memory from a tortured, painful, and horrific past. As his programming shattered, so did his life. Grey found himself facing time in prison after staged imprisonment charges were dropped on him, and at the same time, his family and loved ones were attacked and tortured as collateral damage to his awakening and first attempt at blowing the whistle on what his memories revealed. After working behind te scenes for over a decade, Grey decided to once again go public a year ago and has touched the hearts and minds of thousands through his whistleblowing journey and through the roll-out of Organize Safety, which is a revolutionary way to corroborate and cross-reference anonymous or public tips regarding perpetrators, abuse locations, and events. Today, Grey is back for Part 2 of an episode series we started a couple months ago on gifted and talented programs and their relationships to the CIA, NDEA and MK ULTRA. Unbeknownst to most, MK ULTRA was right in our face within our school systems as GATE, TAG and other gifted and talented programs were rolled out and marketed to parents as a prestigious educational opportunity for their children who were recognized as having attributes such as a high IQ and heightened spiritual gifts - and what we found out on Pt 1 is that these programs that appear benign are actually a sinister way for the CIA to scout for gifted children to place in MK ULTRA and related experimental programs while portraying them as benevolent. A commonality of MK ULTRA and SRA survivors that we see on ‘The Imagination' is their placement in these gifted programs in their formative school years, and it's a consistency of many others who were enrolled in GATE and related programs to have very little or no memory recollection of what happened to them while in these classes.

Don Moxley shares his journey from being a collegiate athlete to becoming a sports scientist and working in the cannabis industry. He emphasizes the importance of movement, strength, energy production, and resilience in both athletic performance and longevity. Don also explains the importance of heart rate variability (HRV) and its relationship to overall health and mortality. He highlights the value of wearing a heart rate monitor and understanding different heart rate zones for optimal training. He shares his experience with HRV and how it can be used to assess cardiovascular health and resilience. Ways to improve HRV include lowering inflammation, improving cardiovascular fitness, optimizing sleep, and managing trauma and stress to improve HRV. We also touched on autophagy and the role of spermidine in longevity. The best way to reach Don is on LinkedIn. He is also on X(Twitter) and Instagram. Spermadine Life and ModeMethod are products he mentioned. Takeaways Movement, strength, energy production, and resilience are key factors in athletic performance and longevity. Heart rate variability (HRV) is highly related to mortality and overall health. It's a key indicator of health and performance. Wearing a heart rate monitor and understanding heart rate zones can optimize training and improve performance. Micronutrients play a crucial role in longevity and should be considered alongside macronutrients. Exercise enhances the endocannabinoid system and brain function, leading to a longer and healthier life. Lowering inflammation, improving cardiovascular fitness, optimizing sleep, and managing trauma and stress can improve HRV. Autophagy is essential for cellular health and longevity. Spermidine is a compound that promotes autophagy and can be obtained from certain foods. Industrialized food may be deficient in essential micronutrients, highlighting the importance of a balanced diet and supplementation. Watch on YouTube: Show Transcript Cheryl McColgan (00:00.43)Hi everyone, welcome back to the Heal Nourish Grow podcast. Today I am joined by Don Moxley and we just had a lovely little pre -interview chat all about our things in common. Don went to The Ohio State University, was a collegiate athlete and is currently traveling around in RV, which if anybody that's listened to this podcast before or read my blog will go back to the little thing that I call the Vegabond adventure. We did that for a little bit in a suburban, not an RV. But so lots in common, but… What I'm really excited about is Don knows so many things about health and wellness and sports performance. And he's got some awesome things to share with us today. But before we go into all that, Don, if you could just share a little bit, I shared briefly about your background, but if you could go into some detail and, you know, how did you get into this work? What makes you passionate about health and wellness and what you're doing today? Don Moxley (00:50.472)That's a, it's a great question. And it's, and, and literally you can't separate the journey from the destination. It's so, I grew up, share, I grew up in Eastern Ohio. We grew up in the strip pits over in Belmont County and I had every intention. I was a decent high school wrestler. I was, you know, I qualified for the state tournament twice, but never want to match there. But when I went to Ohio state with every intention of going home and feeding beef, Cabo for the rest of my life. But. Cheryl McColgan (00:56.558)I'm sorry. Don Moxley (01:19.08)I got to Ohio State, I was good enough to walk on the wrestling team, but it was a struggle. I was injured all the time. And I was one of those wrestlers that used to cut a lot of weight. I cut from 220 to 177 and hence the injury problems. But when I finally, you know, I was injured my sophomore year, I'm thinking, okay, what do I have to do to finally get going?

in today's episode we talk about the deep state of consciousness that being LOST entails, rather than the inferior state it represents in the western imagination. I frame this in terms of colonial consciousness which privileges "clarity, direction, Knowing, confidence" vs. the deeper truth of the universe, nature, and indigenous consciousness, which embrace chaos, magic, cyclical time, and humility in the face of the unknown and unknowability of all truths of the universe. At the same time, I am sending love as I know being lost feels deeply uncomfortable and isolating. An update episode on the name change is coming soon angels!

Today, we are pleased to offer you the first chapter of Andrew Wilson's book 'Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West'. In 'Remaking the World', Andrew Wilson highlights 7 major developments from the year 1776—globalization, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Enrichment, the American Revolution, the rise of post-Christianity, and the dawn of Romanticism—and explains their relevance to social changes happening today. Carefully examining key documents and historical figures, Wilson demonstrates how a monumental number of political, philosophical, economic, and industrial changes in the year of America's founding shaped the modern West into a “WEIRDER” society: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic, Ex-Christian, and Romantic. This thoroughly researched yet accessible book offers a unique historical perspective on modern views of family, government, religion, and morality—giving Christians the historical lens they need to understand today's post-Christian trends and respond accordingly.

Here's a little experiment. Take a second to think about how you would fill in the blank in this sentence: “I am _____.”If you're anything like me, the first descriptors that come to mind are personal attributes (like “curious” or “kind”) or identities (like “a journalist” or “a runner”). And if you answered that way, then I have some news for you: You are weird.I mean that in a very specific way. In social science, WEIRD is an acronym that stands for Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic. Most societies in the world today — and throughout human history — don't fit that description. And when people from non-WEIRD cultures answer the “I am” statement, they tend to give very different answers, defining themselves with relation-based descriptors like “Moe's father” or “David's brother.”That difference is only the tip of the iceberg. Much of what we take for granted as basic elements of human psychology and ethics are actually a peculiar WEIRD way of viewing the world.Joseph Henrich, an anthropologist at Harvard University, believes that this distinction between WEIRD and non-WEIRD psychologies is absolutely central to understanding our modern world. His 2020 book, “The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous,” explores the origins of these differences and argues that the emergence of a distinctly WEIRD psychology was central to the development of everything from the Industrial Revolution and market economies to representative government and human rights.We discuss Henrich's theory of how “cultural evolution” leads to psychological — even genetic — changes in humans, the difference between societies that experience “shame” as a dominant emotion as opposed to “guilt,” the unique power of religion in driving cultural change, how cultural inventions like reading have literally reshaped human biology, why religious communes tend to outlast secular ones, why Henrich believes there is no static “human nature” aside from our cultural learning abilities, how differences in moral psychology across the United States can predict Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 vote share, why higher levels of immigration tend to lead to far more innovation and more.Mentioned:Why Europe? by Michael MitterauerGuns, Germs, and Steel by Jared DiamondThe Chosen Few by Maristella Botticini and Zvi EcksteinListen to this podcast in New York Times Audio, our new iOS app for news subscribers.
