A controversial statement perhaps but one that ChatGPT agrees with. El Hornet is the band's DJ, a member since day 1 of Pendulum in Perth, Australia, and a man who has been on every step of the journey along with Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen. They have a new album out called Inertia, and it's their first one since 2010. It's both very modern and very recognisable as a Pendulum record, which might say as much about their wider influence on dance music as anything else. We discuss the scene in 90s Perth, playing in punk bands, moving to the UK in 2003, taking over the scene and ultimately outgrowing it. Oh and playing before Beyoncé at Glastonbury.

Send us a textSummaryIn this episode of Clarity from Chaos, host David Campbell engages with Sal Litvak to discuss the shifting political landscape among Jewish voters, the inertia in party affiliations, and the impact of education on critical thinking. They explore the influence of media narratives, international relations concerning anti-Semitism, and the cultural significance of Jewish humor. The conversation also touches on immigration issues, the role of comedy in political discourse, and the future of American politics.TakeawaysThe Jewish vote is not as monolithic as perceived.Inertia in political affiliations can hinder change.Education systems are failing to teach critical thinking.Media narratives are controlled by a small number of individuals.International relations are complicated by anti-Semitism.Comedy can serve as a lens for political commentary.Immigration policies need to be scrutinized for social responsibility.Jewish humor reflects a rich cultural legacy.Political dynamics are shifting among minority groups.The future of American politics may depend on accountability and truth.Chapters00:00The Jewish Vote and Political Dynamics02:51Inertia in Political Affiliations05:42Education and Critical Thinking08:16Media Narratives and Accountability11:01International Relations and Anti-Semitism14:06The State of Comedy and Self-Deportation16:46Immigration and Public Policy19:34Sal's Book and Humor Tradition22:30Cultural Reflections and Political CommentarySupport the show"Wherever you find yourself is exactly and precisely where God wills you to be" Support our show at the following: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2063276/support Follow us on X: @CFC30290 Follow us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3123766 Website: https://clarityfromchaospodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Thanks for listening to Clarity from Chaos

Right up front here, let me just state loudly that there are some amazing independent TPAs (third-party administrators) out there who have the expertise, the scrappy willfulness, and the deep desire to do right by their clients, their self-insured employer clients. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. And look, they may be facing some of the same headwinds that plan sponsors themselves face, like anticompetitive contracts, brokers who are up to no good, etc. So, just keep that in mind as you listen. And the main point of all of this if you are a plan sponsor is, find a good TPA partner, which, as Bryce Platt has said about consultants but same rules apply about TPAs here, the difficulty is being informed enough to tell the difference. So, the goal of this show is to help with that, the “be informed enough to tell the difference.” All of this being said, this is technically a Take Two; but we trimmed it down and welcome to a whole new intro. So, call this a refresher and an update about a really, really important topic from last year that is becoming extremely (maybe even more) relevant this year. Really relevant. Consider, for example, the show with Claire Brockbank (EP453) about carrier/TPA RFPs (requests for proposal) and all of the landmines that are really expensive, that are buried in some of these contracts. Then there was the Cynthia Fisher show (EP457) from last year about the millions, maybe billions of dollars in aggregate going missing in medical (ie, TPA or ASO [administrative services only]) spread pricing. We had “The Mystery of the Weekly Claims Wire” show with Justin Leader (EP433), again, revealing money that's being disappeared when the TPA is withdrawing dollars from plan sponsor checking accounts. And then there's the payment integrity episode with Kimberly Carleson (EP480) from a few weeks ago with just another wrinkle on this, namely TPAs or ASOs who insist on auditing themselves and how that turns out for members and plan sponsors. Oh, and last, but certainly not least, is the whistleblower show with Ann Lewandowski (EP476) on how a TPA arm of an EBC (employee benefit consultant) allegedly pocketed $20 million—$20 million of their client's pharma rebates—and used that $20 million to fund their executive bonus pool. What a time to be alive! All of this just highlights the huge stakes for plan sponsors to really understand what their TPA is all about. And when I say high stakes, I mean from both a legal standpoint and also just vast dollars in play here. But this episode with Elizabeth Mitchell is also, I'm gonna say, extremely relevant given just a few ripped from the headlines and news articles such as these. I'm gonna start actually with a post from Kimberly Carleson, and I like the comment by Jeff Evans, who wrote, “How does $8,710 equal $104,266?” Spoiler alert, it doesn't. Lots of missing dollars there. Someone's hands are in the cookie jar. Oh, look, the TPA has entered the chat. In a nutshell, and I'm quoting something Peter Hayes wrote, he wrote, “TPAs have received relatively little public attention. [There's an article in Health Affairs] that describes how TPAs impose hidden fees, benefit from their own form of spread pricing, and otherwise prioritize their own financial interests over those of their plan clients.” Also, here's a totally other issue. Let me quote Luke Prettol highlighting something Jason Shafrin had written about a paper by Jeff Marr, Daniel Polsky, and Mark Meiselbach. Let me slightly rephrase what Luke said. He wrote, “Employers pay, on average, a 4.7% [so almost 5%] price markup when hospitals are in their TPA's [Medicare Advantage] network.” Right? Dr. Eric Bricker talked about this in that episode (EP472) just how TPAs with MA (Medicare Advantage) business negotiate their commercial clients to pay higher rates so that then they can pay lower rates for their own MA members. As Luke wrote, “On its face, this overpayment does not appear to be solely in the interest of participants.” No kidding. Now, let's spin the wheel here. There are barriers for TPAs themselves, even the ones who have a deep desire to do the right thing. As Patrick Moore wrote, “Most TPAs still can't do [many of the things that employers might want because there are] PPO contracts.” So, is it a rock in a hard place situation? I mean, if the TPA has no other options than using a carrier's PPO (preferred provider organization) network with all its attendant contractual issues, then yeah, that is one definite challenge. Along these lines, let me read a post by Rina Tikia, because I think she sums up this really well. “When independent TPAs … push for transparency, they're blocked under the banner of ‘fiduciary risk.' “Meanwhile, the largest carriers and PBMs, with Cayman shell subsidiaries, DOJ kickback probes, [huge] hedge fund ties, [$10 million-plus] lobbying budgets, and antitrust violations continue unchecked. They are not only allowed to operate but celebrated as mainstream options. “Why the double standard? Political donations? Foundation smokescreens? Nonprofit status as a PR shield?” These are excellent questions. And here's another challenge: brokers. Ramesh Kumar Budhani wrote about this one, just how hard it is sometimes to find—for TPA, an independent TPA, trying to do the right thing—to find brokers who prioritize doing the right thing for employers and helping their clients save money. The summary of all of this: There are TPAs and there are ASOs who aren't even trying. They are going to ride the flywheel, the gravy train, and catch all of the dollars flying off of it for as long as they can manage to cling to it with all 10 of their fingers. Then there are TPAs, mostly indies, trying super hard to do the right thing. But how successful they are is going to depend on how boxed in they are by the PPO networks or the carriers that the brokers or even plan sponsors may insist on. Just how courageous they are and just how smart they are and experienced they are about the market and how it actually operates. So, the show that follows is about all of this, including how we can inspire TPAs, which, in the show that follows, subsumes ASOs kind of into it. But in the show that follows, I hope it's inspiring to create an environment so that the market demands TPAs that do all of the things, and we make inertia not a viable business strategy.

Emotional Inertia is the tendency for moods to stay as they are,  Whether they're an iceberg or a shooting star,  Learning control can improve our skill,  So we don't go wild our lose our will.   [full text below]   Ep. 414 - Happy Emotia We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Emotia is a word I made by combining the words Emotion and Inertia into one, Emotion is Feelings, and Inertia is the tendency for things to stay as they are, So, like, a car may be hard to move, or hard to stop because it weighs a ton, Just like a heavy mood may be the same way because of how much we care. If you're having a meltdown and someone tells you to chill--your mood might not change, Though granted, it's not quite the same as trying to stop a speeding car, of course, Emotia is just a way of saying that moods have momentum both short- and long-range, Like, a heavy mood is harder to lighten up because it just seems to have more force. Then, once you see moods as having weight, practicing them becomes exercise, And just like you wouldn't enter an athletic competition without training first, You need to practice agility, strength and control over your emotions to maximize Your ability to be able to handle whatever life throws your way from best to worst. This is why you may find it tough to “snap out of it,” when things begin to confound, Or why it may take a minute to get “in the mood,” whatever mood that may happen to be, And this can apply to phobias as well--if you're afraid of dogs, then don't visit the pound, And if every attempt to kick a bad habit fails, it may take a gradual approach to break free. Happy Emotia is having a good handle on your moods, good craft, good skill, You don't try to rush them or run them too hot from a cold start if you can help it, You do your warm ups and cool downs so you don't pull something or make yourself ill, And you make sure you get in some good mood drills every day to stay ready and fit. And that could just involve thinking about a mood like Sadness or Hope, And then maybe moving on to Anger, Joy, Guilt and Fear,  Watch a movie, listen to a song, write out your feelings in order to cope, Learning to get comfortable with emotions prepares you for the next time they appear. Haha Yowza  

Afghanistan has long been called the “graveyard of empires.” Powerful nations have marched into its mountains with plans to conquer and reform it. They built schools, sent aid, and installed new governments. For a time, the changes seemed to work. Yet each empire—British, Soviet, American—eventually left defeated. Afghanistan absorbed their energy, took what it needed, and when the invaders left, the country reverted to what it had always been.This happens because Afghanistan is built on deep-rooted inertia and entropy. Inertia means it stays the same unless acted on by massive force. Entropy means that new systems fall apart unless energy is constantly applied. Foreign powers pour in energy, but Afghanistan outlasts them. When they tire, their reforms collapse. Afghanistan remains.America works the same way, but with movements instead of armies. Movements arrive like cultural invaders. They come with slogans, protests, policies, and demands. They intend to reshape the country. And for a moment, they seem to succeed. Corporations join in. Schools rewrite programs. Politicians pass laws. The country mirrors the movement's ideals. Those who play along benefit—money, status, approval.But this compliance is tactical, not permanent. Like Afghanistan pandering to foreign powers, America gives movements everything they ask for. It lets them win visible victories. It drains their energy. When the movement's force burns out, America disperses what's left and rolls back the changes. The culture returns to its old state.Afghanistan's resistance comes from its tribal nature. Loyalties are local, not national. Foreigners misunderstand this and fail to control it. America's resistance comes from its own version of tribalism. It is a federation by name, but states and regions behave like independent clans. Rural and urban cultures mistrust each other. The South distrusts the coasts. Local identities overpower national unity. Movements trying to impose sweeping reform run into this wall of local resistance. On the surface, people comply. Underneath, they hold to their way of life and wait for the storm to pass.Afghanistan's strategy is patience. It pretends to comply, takes foreign aid, and waits for the invader to weaken. America does the same with movements. Civil Rights, affirmative action, voting rights, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, DEI, COVID lockdowns, climate change initiatives, and now Free Palestine—all have followed the same pattern. They arrive with force. America appears to transform. Then energy fades. The reforms weaken. The old patterns return.This is not hate. It is cultural physics. Inertia keeps the country tied to what it knows. Entropy erodes new structures unless they are constantly reinforced. When energy is gone, rollback begins.Afghanistan is a black hole for foreign empires. They pour in power, wealth, and ideals, only to be swallowed. America is a black hole for social movements. It swallows their energy, their victories, their slogans. The reforms scatter into its vast social fabric until nothing is left. The movement dies, but the country remains.Afghanistan waits out armies. America waits out movements. Both drain what tries to change them. Both give everything demanded during occupation only to undo it later. Both survive by being patient, by letting outsiders or reformers burn themselves out.Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires.America is the graveyard of movements.Both absorb, endure, and remain unchanged at their core.

In physics, inertia is the tendency of objects to resist change. A body at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by force. Culture works the same way. Societies prefer to stay as they are. They resist change unless energy is applied over time. This resistance is not dramatic. It is quiet, persistent, and hard to overcome. It is cultural inertia.Modern anti-racist America often frames its struggle as a battle against visible hate. Extremists exist, but they are few. The larger obstacle is the mass of people who do not move. They are not driven by hate. They are driven by comfort with the familiar. They avoid conflict. They do not fight progress, but they do not push for it either. This stillness is the real challenge.Inertia in physics means an object does not change motion without a push. In culture, it means habits and systems stay the same without a steady force. Laws may change, but behavior lags. Old patterns return when effort fades. This is why cultural progress feels slow. Victories erode because the weight of culture resists movement.Most Americans live in this state. They are not activists or extremists. They work, care for families, and avoid friction. They accept small changes they cannot fight but resist when they feel forced. They dislike being shamed. They dislike disruption. They stay still unless change is presented as something they can live with. This is not malice. It is human nature.If most of society resists this way, movements face a problem. They can defeat loud opponents, but they still must move the quiet majority. This requires more than outrage. It requires energy that does not burn out. It requires stories and policies that make change feel less like a threat and more like a natural step.History shows how inertia stalls progress. The Civil Rights Movement won legal victories, but social attitudes shifted slowly. Schools resegregated, not because of hate, but because of neglect and resistance. Occupy Wall Street rose, then faded. Black Lives Matter surged during crisis, then lost momentum. Without constant force, society slips back to stillness.Inertia explains backlash. People do not like to be forced to move. They push back when they feel cornered. This is not always ideology. It is fear of disruption. Activists sometimes mistake this for hostility, but it is not. It is inertia. People cling to what feels normal.Apathy is another form. Many agree with ideals but do nothing to live them. They nod at slogans, then return to old habits. They wait for storms to pass. This non-action holds things in place.Modern activism often targets symbols—statues, names, language. These changes matter but do not always move culture. They can harden inertia by making people defensive. Real change needs more than symbols. It needs habits that remain when slogans fade. It needs steady energy, not just bursts of outrage.The rollback of affirmative action, the weakening of voting rights, and the slow return of segregation are not the work of loud hate. They happened because energy faded. Systems drifted. Old patterns returned because it was easier to let them than to fight them.The new anti-racist America must accept that its biggest opponent is not loud hate but stillness. This force is natural. It is human. To overcome it, movements must apply steady, patient energy. They must make change feel like evolution, not attack. They must turn ideals into habits that last when attention fades.Cultural inertia does not shout, but it holds everything in place. Progress depends on learning to move it. Real change requires more than defeating those who oppose it. It requires moving those who stand still. This is harder than fighting hate. It is the long, quiet work of applying enough energy, for long enough, to shift the weight of a culture that prefers to stay as it is.

Inertia is a term in physics that means that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion.  In your health and fitness journey, inertia can show up as resistance to change.

What if inertia isn't a built-in property of matter? What if it's an interaction with the fabric of the universe itself? So says Physicist Dr. Mike McCulloch of the University of Plymouth, whose Quantized Inertia theory is a radical challenge to our understanding of motion, mass, and the very structure of the cosmos. In this talk at DemystiCon '25, McCulloch blends the Casimir effect, Unruh radiation, and boundary conditions of the universe, to propose a framework that explains galaxy rotation without dark matter and hints at the future of propellant-less space travel. He walks us through the theory, experiments, and upcoming satellite tests that could rewrite the rules of cosmology and propulsion.From historical roots in Newton and Galileo to zero-point energy warp drives, this talk is a glimpse at what physics might look like after dark matter… and after rockets.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

Behavioral Inertia has become a buzzword in marketing, often associated with the stubborn action (or inaction) of a target audience. As anthropologists, Sonika and Gabe are often approached with the challenge of designing interventions that break inertia; however, there's more to inertia than simply recognizing it and knowing how to overcome it. In this episode, they break down the emotional motivators of inertia, the possibility of leveraging and rewarding inert behaviors, and why it's paramount to focus first on what a target audience is doing as opposed to what they aren't.Follow us on LinkedIn

We are all aware how Newton's first law of motion, the law of inertia, applies to physical bodies... but does it also apply to mental motion?In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. We live in strange times, where mythology is actually history, where instead of teaching history, we obfuscate it, history is written by the victors as they say. If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed. Join me around the digital campfire as we explore the cosmos, and uncover hidden gnosis.

I'm thrilled to share the recording of my opening set for Hernan Cattaneo this past Friday on June 13th. Hernan has been playing my music in his sets for some time now—the very first promo I ever sent him was a bootleg of 'The System' by Inertia. Since then, he's played several of my tracks numerous times across different parts of the world and on his radio show - Resident. As a DJ, the art of opening up a room is very special to me. I always pour a lot of thought and passion into my opening sets, understanding that it's far more than just track selection. It's about genuinely connecting with the environment and the evolving energy of the crowd, without fatiguing people's ears. In the past couple of years, Hernan has trusted me to warm up the decks before him. This set was especially significant for me because I was able to build the atmosphere deeper, increase the energy slightly and mellowing it down before handing the decks off to him to a crowd that was ready to dance. Due to logistical reasons when the boat was docked, the music had to be turned down while the boat was embarking - recording split in two as a result Hope you enjoy. Until next time ;) If you like you what you've heard, please repost :) Instagram: instagram.com/miromarmusic Facebook: facebook.com/miromarmusic Twitter: twitter.com/miromarmusic

In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole reconnects with longtime friend and cybersecurity legend Dr. Anton Chuvakin, whom he has known for over 25 years. The conversation opens with reflections on their decades-long professional journey and transitions into a deep dive into Anton's current work at Google Cloud's Office of the CISO. Anton shares how his team supports secure cloud and AI adoption—not as traditional field CISOs focused on sales—but as strategic advisors and researchers helping clients understand and implement Google's advanced security models. The discussion spotlights Google's internal use of Zero Trust architecture, highlighting how Google eliminated the need for VPNs over a decade ago. Anton explains how this approach—initially pioneered through Google's BeyondCorp—combines stronger security with greater usability, a rare balance in cybersecurity. Dr. Cole presses into why more companies haven't adopted Zero Trust, prompting Anton to emphasize the power of organizational inertia. Drawing from his years at Gartner, Anton notes that despite the proven benefits, many enterprises resist change due to legacy systems and mindset barriers. This episode offers a compelling look at the evolving landscape of enterprise security and the importance of embracing innovation over outdated habits.

Inertia brings you the best in all things house with our resident DJ, Shiach.

Swimming against the current sometimes leads to unexpected treasures. In this fascinating conversation, Adam Fortuna reveals how migrating Hardcover—a social network for readers with 30,000 users—from Next.js back to Ruby on Rails delivered surprising performance improvements and development simplicity.The journey begins with Adam explaining how Hardcover originated as a response to Goodreads shutting down their API. As a longtime Rails developer who initially chose Next.js for its server-side rendering capabilities, Adam found himself drawn back to Rails once modern tools made it viable to combine Rails' backend strengths with React's frontend interactivity. The migration wasn't a complete rewrite—they preserved their React components while replacing GraphQL with ActiveRecord—and unexpectedly saw significant improvements in page load speeds and SEO rankings.At the heart of this technical evolution is Inertia.js, which Adam describes as "the missing piece for Rails for a long time." This elegant solution allows direct connections between Rails controllers and React components without duplicating routes, creating a seamless developer experience. We dive into the challenges they faced, particularly with generating Open Graph images and handling API abuse, and how they solved these problems with pragmatic hybrid approaches.The conversation takes an exciting turn as Adam discusses their work on book recommendation engines, combining collaborative filtering with content analysis to help readers discover their next favorite book. As someone currently enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl series (described as "RPG mixed with Hitchhiker's Guide"), Adam's passion for both books and elegant technical solutions shines throughout.Listen in as we explore how going against conventional wisdom sometimes leads to better outcomes, and discover why Hardcover is now being open-sourced to invite community collaboration. Whether you're interested in Rails, JavaScript frameworks, or book recommendations, this episode offers valuable insights into making technical decisions based on real-world results rather than following trends.Linkshttps://hardcover.app/blog/part-1-how-we-fell-out-of-love-with-next-js-and-back-in-love-with-ruby-on-rails-inertia-jshttps://adamfortuna.com/https://bsky.app/profile/adamfortuna.comSend us some love.HoneybadgerHoneybadger is an application health monitoring tool built by developers for developers.JudoscaleAutoscaling that actually works.

Why is weight important!

Ever felt like someone pulled your battery out mid-sentence? One minute you're go-go-go, and the next—you're a human puddle on the couch, brain offline, soul buffering. That, my friend, is an ADHD energy shutdown—a deeply misunderstood, very real experience where our nervous system essentially throws up the "Closed for Business" sign.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a fog—disconnected, unmotivated, and just… dull? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore emotional inertia—that heavy, stuck feeling that makes it hard to shake off negativity and truly engage with life. We'll break down how our brains get trapped in these patterns, why rumination keeps us cycling through the same emotions, and why some of us struggle to feel joy at all. Most importantly, we'll share simple, science-backed strategies to help you reconnect with your emotions, boost resilience, and start feeling alive again.

His work has reshaped the way leaders think about communication, decision-making, change, and the emotional beats that define experience. With his latest solo book, Reset - How To Change What's Not Working, Dan continues this tradition - offering a practical framework for identifying leverage points that can unlock real transformation, even in systems that feel stuck or bloated by inertia. In this conversation, we dug into why momentum beats speed, how progress (not perfection) is the most powerful motivator in the workplace, and why so many leaders miss the mark by focusing on customer experience while overlooking the employee experience. We also talk about the role of self-doubt, the necessity of feedback, and how the Great Resignation isn't just about quitting - it's about a systemic failure to reimagine work. Dan's signature mix of rigorous research, compelling storytelling, and approachable wisdom is on full display here. You should also check out his podcast, What It's Like To Be…. If you've ever wondered why change efforts stall - or how to get unstuck with the same people and resources - this one's for you. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 56:48.

In this episode of Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers kicks off the new year with an insightful conversation featuring Chris Cline, author of The Inertia of Legacy. They dive into the book's core themes—how individuals and businesses can shape their own legacy by embracing intentional change rather than remaining stuck in routine. Chris shares his unconventional journey from a fine art major to leading distribution for an insurance company, illustrating how creativity and problem-solving can transform traditional industries. The discussion explores the intersection of structure and innovation, the evolving role of independent agencies, and why legacy should be seen as an ongoing process rather than an outcome. Key Points: Creativity Meets Strategy Chris Cline's transition from graphic design to insurance leadership highlights the value of unconventional perspectives in structured industries. He and David discuss how creative problem-solving within existing frameworks leads to innovation and long-term success. The Power of Intentional Change Cline introduces the Inertia of Legacy concept, explaining how individuals and businesses often default to inaction unless external forces push them forward. He emphasizes taking control of one's direction through intentional action rather than waiting for change to happen. Independent Agencies & Industry Evolution Chris reflects on his move to the Big I, where he now works to support independent agencies on a national scale. He discusses the challenges and opportunities agents face as technology reshapes the industry, emphasizing the importance of adaptability. Content Creation & AI's Role in Business Growth David and Chris also touch on AI's impact on content creation, from writing books to automating sales training. They discuss how AI can enhance efficiency while still requiring a human touch to ensure authenticity and value. This episode is packed with insights on leadership, legacy, and the future of the insurance industry. Whether you're an agency owner, a business leader, or someone navigating career shifts, there's something valuable to take away.
