Michael Thomas is the founder and CEO of Cleanview, a data and research platform tracking more than 10,000 clean energy projects and thousands of data center projects across the country. Back for his third appearance on Inevitable, Thomas has spent the past year investigating the explosive growth of AI infrastructure and the increasingly extreme measures companies are taking to get power online.In this episode of Inevitable, Thomas explains how the AI boom has transformed the data center market and why companies are increasingly building their own power generation rather than waiting years for grid interconnection. He breaks down the rise of off-grid and “behind-the-meter” data centers, including xAI's Colossus, Meta's rapid-deployment data centers, and Amazon's massive natural gas project in Texas.The conversation also explores the economics driving the race to power, the environmental and political backlash against data centers, and whether building gas generation today will accelerate or undermine the transition to cleaner energy. Thomas shares what his research reveals about electricity prices, water use, local pollution, and the growing public distrust of Big Tech.Finally, Thomas discusses the tension between AI growth, U.S. competitiveness, and climate goals—and why he sees providing objective information about these projects as one of the most important roles he can play.Episode recorded on September 2, 2026 (Published on September 16, 2026) Enjoyed this episode?

You know what you want in the future. You still can't make yourself do the boring task today.Skye and Robbie break down the goal setting system Skye actually uses, adapted from Dan Martell's framework. It works backward from a 25-year vision to one specific goal this year, then down to one daily non-negotiable that makes that goal inevitable.They also get into what happens when you miss a day, why trying to focus on five goals at once backfires, and how immediate rewards can make the thing you keep avoiding easier to actually do.What We Cover:The full process from a 25-year vision to a daily non-negotiableWhy your yearly goal needs to be specific and measurableHow to choose the one priority that matters most right nowWhy five new non-negotiables at once can become zeroHow immediate rewards and recovering from missed days keep goals aliveP.S.

Local police departments use Flock cameras to track license plates. ICE uses Palantir software to track and round up immigrants. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's war department uses Claude to bomb Iran. The U.S. government spends billions employing private corporations to obtain mountains of data — and the surveillance space is only getting more privatized in Donald Trump's second term. “It really has become a Wild West,” 404 Media co-founder Jason Koebler tells host Akela Lacy on The Intercept Briefing, on the state of the U.S. surveillance apparatus today. While Palantir and Flock have become household names, Koebler says, “anything that can be surveilled is being surveilled, and a lot of this is happening from companies that very few people have heard of, and companies that are willing to push the envelope on what they're willing to do, like how far they're willing to go to surveil people."“A lot of the stuff that you used to associate with the NSA or CIA or another state spy agency, those kinds of capabilities you can now just buy,” Intercept senior technology reporter Sam Biddle notes of the ease and accessibility of the tools now available to the government. “You don't need to be a top-secret government agency. You can just be a contractor in Virginia.”“It's a way to sidestep warrant requirements,” says Koebler. Surveillance contractors “are doing things that if the government were doing directly, they would need to get a warrant in order to do it.”This week, for a special recording of the podcast, independent tech outlet 404 Media and The Intercept teamed up in front of a live audience in Los Angeles to discuss how the U.S. government weaponizes private data to surveil and kill abroad and at home, the resulting backlash and potential regulations on the table, what tangible actions the average person can take to “divest from the contemporary surveillance hellscape,” and refocusing AI-ending-humanity doomerism.“When you ascribe motives and agency to AI, you're letting Sam Altman off the hook,” says Biddle. “There are human beings building this technology. It's not inevitable. This doomsday future is not inevitable,” adds Koebler. “We can't bury our heads in the sand and say, ‘This is not changing society in some way.' But it is being driven by very rich humans, and they can be regulated. They can be held to account.”“What's been really interesting about the Flock backlash, and heartening, is that it is completely apolitical, or it's nonpartisan. It is completely — from the deepest red to the people in this room right now — the entire political spectrum hates these,” says Biddle. “There's the real potential for the first time in a while to create a pro-privacy coalition that bridges a lot of the otherwise pretty giant political gaps.”Full transcript: https://interc.pt/4hqwQrKKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

A Dominant Display, Missed Chances & Sunderland Preview Tabs returns for Episode 204 of The Grove Podcast, fresh from Naples, to break down Arsenal's 1–0 Champions League win over Napoli and look ahead to Saturday night's Premier League trip to Sunderland.We start with the full European away experience: the travel chaos, the safety briefings, the herding, the police escorts, the long bus loops around the city, and the late release back to the port. Tabs shares the highs (including an elite Neapolitan margherita) and the lows (queues, heat, delays, and being treated like cattle), giving listeners a real sense of what following Arsenal abroad can be like.Then Holly from the North Bank Pod (@northbankpod) joins to dissect the match itself, an excellent dominant Arsenal performance that somehow finished 1–0 thanks to a collection of extraordinary missed chances. We talk through the rotation, the players who came in, the left‑side drop‑off without Calafiori and Tzolis, Merino's quality, Hincapié's strong showing, and the ongoing debate around Gyökeres: his role, his limitations, and how he fits into an evolving Arsenal attack.Finally, attention turns to Sunderland away, a tricky, physical opponent with a clear identity and a dangerous left side. Tabs brings insight from Sunderland correspondent Andy, and we look at how Arteta might set up for an 8pm Saturday kick‑off that promises intensity and narrative.A European win, a pile of missed chances, and a Premier League preview.COYG.----Follow, rate, and subscribe on your favourite podcast app.Find us on socials: @thegroveafcThis is The Grove, and everyone is welcome.

A listener writes in with a philosophical challenge to the coherence of Christian doctrine: if God knowingly creates the exact conditions under which people will sin, how can he justly hold them responsible for sinning, and how can Christ's atonement make sense as a remedy for a failure that was effectively built into the system? Dr. Craig traces the problem to a hidden assumption in the question: theological necessitarianism, the idea that circumstances which make sin likely also make it inevitable. He argues that God's providence creates freedom-permitting circumstances, not deterministic ones, citing 1 Corinthians 10:13 on God's promise to supply a way of escape from every temptation. Craig also draws a key distinction between moral perfection, which he grants is impossible for finite creatures, and simply living without sin, using Adam and Eve's pre-fall innocence as an example of the latter without the former. He closes by addressing apostasy directly, denying that God ever places anyone in circumstances they are unable to handle.View the full Question of the Week here!

Lindsay Clancy admitted to murdering her own 3 children. But the jury remained deadlocked, with 1 holdout, until the judge was forced to declare a mistrial. Did the jurors follow the law – and what happens next for Clancy? Massachusetts law complicates this case because it is different from most other states when it comes to an insanity defense. MA does not make the defendant prove she was insane. Once the defense puts in evidence of a mental disease or defect, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was still criminally responsible: that she could both appreciate the wrongfulness of the killings and had the ability to control herself. Most states flip that burden onto the accused. This means jurors can accept that she murdered her children and still vote not guilty due to insanity, if the prosecution left any reasonable doubt. Dr. Daniel Amen, founder of Amen Clinics and a double board-certified psychiatrist, reviews Clancy's medication list – over a dozen psychiatric drugs filled in the four months before the killings, including quetiapine, diazepam, lorazepam, and zolpidem, several of them layered on top of one another – and her insanity defense. Attorney Christina Bobb, author of Defiant, explains why this case is unique because Massachusetts places the burden on the prosecution to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt rather than on the defendant to prove insanity – and news that Clancy's attorney is seeking a pardon from President Trump. Also joining: actress Bai Ling, known for The Crow, Star Wars: Episode III, Crank 2, and her Asian Oscar-winning performance in Dumplings, on her new music, her fashion line, and the book she is writing about Hollywood. 「 SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS 」 • BIOPRO - BioPro+® is a natural formula of growth factors and peptides that support how you look, feel & perform.

Alan Cooper is co-founder and CEO of ON.energy, a Miami-based company building battery-backed power systems for AI data centers. Its flagship product, AI UPS, sits between the grid and a data center, creating a buffer that isolates the grid from the massive volatility of AI workloads while providing uninterrupted power to the entire campus. In this episode of Inevitable, Cooper explains how a career spanning oil and gas, geothermal, battery storage, and grid services ultimately led to ON.energy's focus on AI infrastructure. He breaks down why gigawatt-scale AI data centers create a fundamentally different challenge for the grid, and how ON.energy's series-connected battery architecture can act as an electrical "firewall" between the grid, onsite generation, and the data center. The conversation explores ON.energy's evolution from a battery storage project developer into a technology company, its proprietary hardware and software stack, and the role of power controls in making massive data center projects more resilient and easier to interconnect. Cooper also discusses the company's path to market, extensive technical validation, business model, and largely bootstrapped approach to growth. Finally, Cooper argues that data centers don't have to be a liability for the grid. With the right infrastructure and regulatory framework, he believes they can become active grid participants—and potentially make the energy system more robust.

In part two of this deep dive into 2026 consumer confidence, Patrick Donohoe, CEO of Paradigm Life, and Gary dig into what the numbers actually mean, and whether current challenges like housing costs, inflation, energy, and AI make America's 250th year the end of the American experiment. It doesn't. The future is so bright you need to wear shades. Gary opens with why summer is prime moving and home-buying season, why questions about recession and AI are on everyone's mind right now, and why he remains the glass-half-full voice in this conversation. He leans on the Apollo 13 story, the carbon dioxide scrubber built from spare parts on the fly, as a reminder of what humans do when a problem has never been solved before. Then he and Patrick break down the consumer confidence index itself: what it actually measures, how reliable it is, who uses it and why, and where the real opportunity sits underneath the headline number. About the Guest Patrick Donohoe is CEO of Paradigm Life, where he leads the company's mission of helping clients overcome financial challenges through proven, economically sound, and time-tested strategies. Since 2007, Paradigm Life has guided over 8,000 clients nationwide toward greater financial independence, helping them build and follow a path to thrive personally and professionally.

Ep. 241 | A deeply engaging conversation in which Alexander Love, adult development expert and coach, and author of the soon-to-be-published trilogy Evolutionary Gestures, introduces us to the post-tragic perspective, with all of its potential to nourish, ground, and open us to a world of possibilities. Alexander explains that post-tragic is not a developmental stage per se, but a dimension available to anyone willing to do the work. It's part of a triad—pre-tragic innocence, tragic disillusionment, and post-tragic possibilities—encountered in every wisdom tradition, the hero's journey, and every good story. Post-tragic is not about leaving the tragedy (trauma, pain, loss) behind, but about turning toward it and dropping into a dimension of being that can interface with it in a new way, from a place that isn't divided or broken. It's also about asking, what happens next, after the tragedy? How does the story proceed?Shattering our certainty, a tragic event in our lives makes our world more diaphanous, Alexander continues, opening the way for us to lean further into the mystery. Here we encounter the vastness of possibility, the mystery being the first imagined wholeness, the seed of all potentiality, and we begin to see the sacred and the beauty in everything. Though the healing notion of facing our trauma and working through it is not new, Alexander's pre-tragic, tragic, and post-tragic framework (deeply informed by his own experience) is compelling. With it, he has painted in the entire landscape around the core tragedy or trauma, giving us the full picture, the before and after, and connected us with a dimension of compassion and forgiveness that is liberating and full of promise. A wise, gentle, intense, warm, humble conversation. Recorded April 23, 2026.“It's not forgive and forget… It's remember deeply.

My guest today is Sarah Guo, founder and managing partner of Conviction, the venture firm she built to back AI-native companies from their earliest days. Sarah has become one of the most sought-after early-stage investors in AI, often the first check into the companies defining the frontier. In this conversation, we go inside that frontier: what the small group of people actually building AI believe right now, why some of the field's best researchers are wrestling with their own sense of purpose, and how close we are to robots in the home and a genuine acceleration in scientific discovery. At the center is Sarah's conviction that no single company will own the future of AI, and what that means for founders, investors, and anyone allocating their time and resources in a world moving this fast. Our managing editor Dom Cooke wrote a profile of Sarah for Colossus, "Sarah's Wager," on how she built the firm closest to the AI frontier and why she's now betting against its biggest companies.

Siva Yellamraju is the co-founder and CEO of Fourier, a company building modular, on-site hydrogen systems for long-duration energy storage and distributed hydrogen production. Fourier's approach combines lithium-ion batteries for short-duration needs with hydrogen storage for longer durations, packaged into a single system designed to operate like a microgrid. In this episode of Inevitable, Yellamraju explains why hydrogen has long been considered promising for multi-day, seasonal, and even multi-year energy storage, but has struggled because of the cost and complexity of transporting it. He argues that producing hydrogen where it is needed can remove that transportation challenge and unlock a different cost curve for long-duration storage. The conversation explores Fourier's modular “hydrogen blade” architecture, its first storage deployment in Gujarat, India, and the growing demand for alternatives to diesel generators as data centers require increasingly large amounts of backup power. Yellamraju also discusses why levelized cost of storage matters more than round-trip efficiency, India's potential role in energy manufacturing, and his transition from software and data centers into building physical energy infrastructure.

Willie Phillips is the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and now a partner at Holland & Knight. During his time at FERC, Phillips helped lead major reforms to transmission planning and the electric grid's interconnection process. He now advises the companies and utilities he once regulated, giving him a unique perspective on how developers can navigate the regulatory system. In this episode of Inevitable, Phillips explains how FERC works, what companies routinely get wrong when engaging with regulators, and why early participation and pre-filing conversations can dramatically improve the odds of success. He also breaks down the Supreme Court's overturning of the Chevron doctrine and how his team designed Order 1920 around reliability and existing legal precedent. The conversation then turns to the bigger challenge facing the U.S. grid: rapidly growing electricity demand from AI, data centers, electrification, and industrial activity. Phillips argues that the grid was not built for this moment and that the country needs faster, more coordinated planning while preserving the role of states and regional authorities. Finally, Phillips discusses large loads, behind-the-meter generation, vertically integrated utilities, and the possibility that hyperscalers could become major power generators. He argues that regulators, utilities, and technology companies have an opportunity to work together to build the infrastructure needed for the next era of the American economy. Episode recorded on July 29, 2026 (Published on August 25, 2026). In this episode, we cover: (0:00) An overview of FERC and Willie Phillips's career (6:31) How companies can successfully navigate the FERC process (9:07) What overturning Chevron means for federal regulators (12:00) Order 1920 and the need for long-term transmission planning (13:35) Reforming the interconnection queue (15:39) How FERC navigated legal uncertainty around grid reform (17:29) Why America needs to “do big things” with the electric grid (20:42) FERC, states, and the future of grid planning (23:33) America's energy infrastructure race with China (25:02) Why large loads are transforming the grid (27:07) A 21st-century economy running on 20th-century rules (28:18) FERC's approach to accelerating large-load interconnections (30:15) Why reliability, affordability, sustainability, and speed matter (31:30) The jurisdictional questions around large loads (33:06) Organized markets vs. vertically integrated utilities (37:40) Reliability, affordability, and the value of invisible infrastructure (40:35) Behind-the-meter generation and co-location (43:17) Could hyperscalers become major power generators?

Pumped Up Parenting | The Best Advice that NO ONE ELSE GIVES YOU about Raising Kids in Today's World
Because the patterns we inherit from our families can shape us but they don't have to define what happens next.Have you ever looked at something happening in your relationship or family and thought, “Where did this come from?”Sometimes the answer reaches much further back than we realize.The way we handle conflict.The way we communicate.The way we respond to anger, silence, or emotional pain.So much of what feels normal to us can come from what we experienced growing up.In this episode of the Be A Better Parent Podcast, Celia Kibler welcomes Ama K. Karikari, Esq. back to the conversation to explore how generational cycles of dysfunction, unhealthy relationships, and abuse can continue from one generation to the next and, most importantly, how we can begin breaking those cycles.Because children don't just learn from what we tell them.They learn from what they see every day.The relationships they witness can become their baseline for what feels normal, even when that “normal” isn't healthy.In this honest and deeply personal conversation, Celia and Ama talk about the experiences that can shape our relationship patterns, why we sometimes recreate dynamics we promised ourselves we'd never repeat, and what it takes to become aware of those patterns before passing them on to our children.In this episode, you'll hear:How childhood experiences can shape what we accept and tolerate in adult relationshipsWhy the relationship dynamics children witness can become their definition of “normal”How yelling, emotional withdrawal, and the silent treatment can affect both partners and childrenWhy we may unknowingly recreate familiar relationship patterns—even when we consciously want something differentHow becoming aware of your own history can help you understand the patterns showing up in your relationshipsWhy breaking generational cycles starts with recognizing what was once considered normalHow parents can begin creating healthier relationship patterns for the next generationOne of the most powerful reminders in this episode:What you inherited may have shaped you, but it doesn't have to determine what you pass on.Breaking a cycle doesn't mean blaming your parents.It doesn't mean pretending the past didn't happen.And it doesn't mean you have to change everything overnight.It starts with awareness.When you understand where your patterns come from, you can begin making different choices and those choices can create a very different experience for your children.Because the way we treat one another becomes part of what our children learn about relationships.And changing that pattern can be one of the most meaningful things we do for the generations that come after us.If you've ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships, or you're determined to give your children a healthier emotional foundation than the one you may have experienced, this episode offers an honest conversation filled with insight, personal experience, and hope.Tune in to this episode of the Be A Better Parent Podcast and remember: inherited doesn't mean inevitable.To learn more about Ama K. Karikari, Esq. and her work supporting women healing from toxic relationships and abuse, visit www.amakkarikari.com/soaring-sisters-circle Ama also offers a free call for those looking for support.To stay connected with Celia Kibler, visit BeABetterParent.com and explore the Be A Better Parent app and other parenting resources designed to help you create a calmer, more connected family.Visit TimeForSkool.com and take the Parenting Success Snapshot.

You can be the one who starts something different.
Ever since Donald Trump returned to the White House last year, a big question has loomed over any discussion of global politics: How much of the change he has brought to U.S. foreign policy, and to the international system, will endure beyond this presidential term? Two essays that open the new issue of Foreign Affairs offer different answers to that question. Kurt Campbell and Rush Doshi, two senior officials in the Biden administration, argue that the U.S. alliance system will not just survive Trump but can emerge stronger, even better suited to countering China and its partners. Mark Leonard, the director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, argues that policymakers in allied capitals and beyond must accept that the United States has fundamentally changed—and get ready to survive a more turbulent and contested world. Dan Kurtz-Phelan wanted to bring Campbell, Doshi, and Leonard together in one conversation to lay out and test these contrasting arguments. They spoke on August 12 about possible futures for U.S. foreign policy—and what those paths mean for a global order built by a very different United States.

Being a human being is an anxious experience, and to calm the fear of uncertainty, we're obsessed with predicting the future. Whether spiraling about changes to the economy, politics, or culture, we're desperate to know what's coming around the corner. In this episode, host Zachary Karabell is joined by Carissa Véliz, philosopher and author of "Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient Oracles to AI." They discuss the ways tech executives and AI experts offer predictions for our society that are supposedly inevitable. But what if we refuse to accept these guesses as truth? What if leaning into ambiguity and our own vulnerability makes us better citizens and gives us a true chance to make a better world? Zachary and Carissa discuss the difference between a mindset that is focused on definite outcomes versus a mindset open to the possibilities of different paths and why the latter is crucial to a healthy society. They also dive into Carissa's work on privacy and the pitfalls of unprecedented surveillance and data collection that feed the prediction machines.

Yasir Arafat is the co-founder and CTO of Aalo Atomics, a company developing factory-manufactured modular nuclear power plants designed for AI data centers. Before founding Aalo, Yasir led the MARVEL microreactor program at Idaho National Laboratory. In this episode of Inevitable, Yasir explains how Aalo became one of four U.S. nuclear startups to achieve criticality by the July 4, 2026 deadline. He breaks down what criticality means, why the milestone matters, and how the team went from a small startup to sustaining a nuclear fission chain reaction in less than a year. The conversation explores why Yasir believes nuclear's biggest challenges are speed and economics rather than safety or reliability, and how Aalo is trying to address both through factory-based manufacturing. Yasir also shares how the company built its own reactor building in 36 days, tested its full-scale reactor systems, developed scalable fuel assembly manufacturing, and partnered with Idaho National Laboratory to learn how to operate a real reactor. Finally, Yasir outlines Aalo's path from its zero-power Critical Test Reactor to Aalo-X, a full-powered reactor designed to generate electricity and power a co-located AI data center, and ultimately to the company's commercial Aalo Pod. The discussion also covers DOE demonstration pathways, future NRC licensing, the resurgence of nuclear innovation, and why Yasir believes multiple reactor technologies and companies will be needed to scale nuclear energy. Note: Aalo Atomics is an MCJ portfolio company. Episode recorded on August 6, 2026 (Published on August 18, 2026). In this episode, we cover: (0:00) An overview of Aalo Atomics (2:00) What criticality means in a nuclear reactor (3:38) Why the July 4 deadline was set and why it mattered (7:07) The final 24 hours before Aalo reached criticality (9:24) How accurately Aalo's reactor matched its physics models (11:43) From the MARVEL microreactor to founding Aalo Atomics (13:56) Why Aalo is focused on nuclear speed and economics (17:05) Why Aalo built a zero-power critical test reactor first (19:01) Building a nuclear reactor building in 36 days (19:21) What Aalo tested beyond the reactor itself (20:53) Building fuel assemblies for the next 100 reactors (23:43) Why organizational readiness matters as much as reactor technology (24:05) Running the CTR and Aalo-X projects in parallel (24:56) Excavating through unexpectedly difficult basalt rock (26:03) The progression from CTR to Aalo-X to the Aalo Pod (29:29) Partnering with turbine suppliers and Crusoe (31:27) The timeline for powering a co-located AI data center (32:09) How DOE authorization supports first-of-a-kind reactor demonstrations (34:01) Moving from DOE demonstrations toward NRC commercial licensing (42:03) Why Aalo is betting on the next generation of sodium-cooled reactors Enjoyed this episode?

This week the boys are back in studio and YouTube to go a little off track, discuss some NASCAR and silly season news, and breakdown the 2 exciting races from Richmond Raceway!
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageNinety hours of World War II history sounds like a stunt until you realize what it does to your perspective. I just finished Rick Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy on Audible, spread across six years, and I can't stop thinking about what it means to “walk” from North Africa to Sicily, up the Italian campaign, and into the final push across Western Europe. This isn't a cheerleading tour of victory. It's a clear-eyed account of how the United States Army starts green, makes painful mistakes, and learns the hard way what modern war demands. We talk about why this matters now, with the 80th anniversary of VE Day approaching and firsthand memories fading fast. Atkinson wrote these books so we would never be allowed to forget, and his reporting background shows up on every page: friendly fire, vanity at the top, racism in a segregated army, and the chaos of Kasserine Pass sit right alongside courage and endurance. The big takeaway is uncomfortable and necessary: liberation was never inevitable. It was paid for, one battle and one life at a time. We also connect Atkinson's ground-level storytelling to Victor Davis Hanson's The Second World Wars, which asks the colder question: why did the Allies actually win? Hanson gives us the production, fuel, airframes, and industrial capacity that made victory probable. Atkinson gives us the men who had to climb out of the landing craft and make that probability real. Along the way, we share two passages that land like a weight, including Audie Murphy's stark line about there being “no exhilaration at being alive.” If you want a taste before committing to the full trilogy, we point you to the free Mojo Academy book briefs. Key Points from the Episode:• the six-year path through An Army at Dawn, The Day of Battle, and The Guns at Last Light • why the 80th anniversary of VE Day makes remembering urgent • Atkinson's credibility as a Washington Post writer and two-time Pulitzer winner • the US Army's early mistakes in North Africa and what Kasserine Pass reveals • how Sicily and Italy show adaptation without a triumphalist tone • the idea that greatness is failing, adjusting, and finishing the job • why liberation was paid for one soldier at a time • the contrast with Victor Davis Hanson on industrial capacity and free men • Audie Murphy's “no exhilaration” as sacrifice without swagger Links?
Why the AI bubble is bound to burst, the influence of Big Tech and the concept of ‘enshittification’ with tech journalist Cory Doctorow. In today’s episode of Culture Club Chats, we sit down with Canadian-British author, activist, journalist and blogger Cory Doctorow. Cory’s work at the intersection of technology and culture reached new heights following the publication of his 2025 book, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. The term ‘enshittification’ was coined by Cory and describes the degradation of online services and platforms like Facebook, Amazon and X in pursuit of profit. In this conversation, Cory unpacks why the AI bubble is bound to burst, how Big Tech has reshaped the internet, and what the future of our increasingly online lives might look like. Cory is coming to Australia this month. He'll be at Sydney’s Festival of Dangerous Ideas from the 22nd to the 23rd of August, and Melbourne’s Now or Never Festival, presented by The Wheeler Centre, on the 25th of August. In Bookmarked, Cory recommends Here Where We Live Is Our Country by Molly Crabapple and Inventing the Renaissance by Ada Palmer.

Fiona Spruill is CEO of Overstory, a company helping electric utilities reduce power outages and wildfire risk using satellite imagery, aerial data, and AI-powered vegetation intelligence. Since joining as employee number 10 and later stepping into the CEO role, Spruill has helped Overstory evolve from a vegetation mapping startup into a resilience platform serving many of North America's largest utilities. In this episode of Inevitable, Spruill explains why vegetation management is one of the largest operating expenses for utilities and how improving grid resilience starts with better risk prioritization—not simply collecting more data. The conversation explores how Overstory combines satellite imagery, computer vision, and customer data to help utilities identify vegetation threats, wildfire fuels, and infrastructure risks before disasters occur. Spruill also discusses selling into the utility industry, the growing importance of resilience as climate risks expand beyond the western U.S., and how the company navigated an extraordinary leadership transition following the loss of co-founder and CEO Indra den Bakker.

Colonel Grant Newsham challenges the assumption of inevitable Chinese dominance, labeling it a "fake it till you make it" strategy intended to intimidate foreigners. He points out that China's property market is a "crater" and its currency is not freely convertible, forcing the CCP to aggressively export overcapacity to earn the dollars needed for raw materials. Newsham highlights that over 600 million Chinese citizens live on less than $5 a day, and even the CCP elite, including Xi Jinping, keep wealth overseas as a hedge against the system's future. He argues that China's high-tech focus on AI and robotics does not solve its massive youth unemployment. Newsham concludes that China is a "big power but not a great one," functioning as a "rigged casino" without property rights or the rule of law, which is increasingly deterring foreign direct investment.

Arch Rao is Founder and CEO of SPAN, the company behind the smart electrical panel that has expanded into utility grid management with SPAN Edge and distributed AI infrastructure with XFRA. What began as a smarter way to manage home electricity has evolved into a platform designed to digitize the electric grid, enable mass electrification, and unlock new AI compute capacity using existing residential infrastructure. In this episode of Inevitable, Rao explains why SPAN's vision has grown beyond the home electrical panel, how utilities are using software-defined power management to avoid expensive infrastructure upgrades, and why distributed AI inference could become a new class of digital utility. He also discusses the intersection of electrification, grid modernization, and AI demand, arguing that the next major energy transition is the digitization of the electric grid itself.

Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World, presents a stark look at the inevitable mass migration caused by a changing climate, which she argues will force billions to move from the tropics to the habitable north this century. She identifies the "four horsemen of the Anthropocene"—fire, heat, flood, and drought—as the primary drivers of this upheaval. Using the example of a Peruvian farmer forced into a Lima slum, Vince illustrates how climate migration is already underway and often results in precarious existences due to a lack of legal pathways. The book advocates for a radical rethinking of borders and global citizenship, suggesting that the global north needs millions of workers to avoid a demographic crisis and support aging populations. Vince proposes a new UN body to manage migration, using quota systems to match migrants with labor needs in expanded northern cities. She envisions a future where biotechnology, vertical farming, and lab-grown meat provide sustainable nutrition for a global population of ten billion. Vince also explores technological solutions for planetary restoration, including geoengineering methods like ocean fertilization with iron and enhanced weathering of rocks to sequester carbon. While acknowledging the controversy of such projects, she argues that decoupling economic growth from environmental destruction is essential for survival. Ultimately, the book is a call for global inclusivity and a planned strategy to make the unavoidable flux of people work to the advantage of all. (3)1783 Australia
In this Q&A episode, Travis and producer Eric break down a powerful lesson from bestselling author Mark Manson on why discipline isn't about having more willpower—it's about eliminating distractions. Using stories from famous authors like Stephen King, Ian Fleming, and Jack Carr, they explore how changing your environment can dramatically improve focus, productivity, and creative output. If you've ever struggled to stay on task, procrastinated on an important project, or blamed your phone for your lack of focus, this episode offers practical strategies to help you get more meaningful work done. On this episode we talk about: Why environment matters more than willpower when it comes to productivity Mark Manson's "too many options" theory and how distractions sabotage focus Writing routines and productivity habits from Stephen King, Ian Fleming, and Jack Carr Practical ways to eliminate distractions while working from home How procrastination happens—and simple systems to overcome it Top 3 Takeaways Discipline is less about having stronger willpower and more about creating an environment where distractions are removed. Keeping too many options open makes it harder to focus. Closing unnecessary doors often leads to better results. Small, consistent progress beats waiting until the last minute. Build systems that make productive actions the easiest choice. Notable Quotes "You don't have too many distractions—you have too many options." "Set up something for yourself where it's easier to get the work done than it is to not get it done." "Don't shoot yourself in the foot just to see if you can walk."
