Fernando Wirtz and Takeshi Morisato join Craig for a primer on Japan's most influential and most contested philosophical tradition, from Nishida and Tanabe through Miki Kiyoshi and Tosaka Jun. The conversation covers what "nothingness" actually means in Japanese thought and why it isn't Heidegger's, how Miki tried to collapse reason and unreason into a logic of imagination, and what tenkō, or forced ideological conversion, did to a generation of Marxist intellectuals. It closes on the newly surfaced Ōshima Memo and the question of what it costs to think under fascism.Books mentioned in this episodeMiki Kiyoshi, The Logic of Imagination, translated by John W. M.

How can leaders use data to make better decisions and drive real change? In this episode, Kevin talks with Sebastian Wernicke about why so many organizations invest heavily in data and AI yet still struggle to achieve breakthrough results. Sebastian explains the difference between being data-driven, data-frustrated, and data-inspired. He believes that data should not only confirm and optimize what organizations already do but also challenge assumptions, reveal unexpected possibilities, and inspire new directions. They explore common myths about data, including the belief that it is always objective, that deeper analysis will automatically reveal the right answer, and that complex decisions can be reduced to a simple yes or no. Sebastian also shares why leaders must balance depth with decisiveness and become more comfortable with uncertainty and probability. They also discuss the opportunities and risks of AI, particularly its tendency to fill in gaps and generate appealing answers based on hidden assumptions. About Sebastian Wernicke Sebastian Wernicke, Ph.D., is the author of Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation. He is a partner at Oxera Consulting, one of Europe's oldest economics and finance consultancies, where he leads the data science and AI practice. Sebastian is a leading expert in data and AI strategy and a former Chief Data Scientist. For two decades, he has guided organizations around the world to achieve breakthrough transformation through the power of data. His ability to make complex topics around data accessible, engaging, and actionable has made Sebastian a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator. His three acclaimed TED Talks have reached over 5 million viewers. For more information, follow Sebastian Wernicke on LinkedIn or visit www.datainspired.org.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer threatened billionaire Leon Black with contempt of Congress if he continued resisting the committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The dispute intensified after Black's voluntary June appearance ended after roughly an hour when lawmakers from both parties said he refused to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements. Comer then issued subpoenas requiring Black to produce all NDAs to which he was a party and to return for a formal deposition. Black had produced one agreement and indicated he was willing to provide another, but his lawyers also sought assurances that he would not be held in contempt, tried to convert the subpoenaed deposition into a voluntary interview, attempted to narrow questioning to only those agreements, and sought to delay the September 3 appearance until October. Comer rejected those efforts, accusing Black of trying to dictate the scope of the investigation rather than comply with it.The confrontation carried additional weight because Black had one of the most extensive documented financial relationships with Epstein among the billionaire's wealthy associates. Epstein provided tax and estate-planning services to Black from 2012 through 2017, years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, and Black ultimately paid him roughly $170 million. Black maintained that he did not know about Epstein's broader criminal activity until 2019, although he acknowledged knowing about Epstein's earlier conviction involving a minor. Comer argued that Black could not unilaterally decide which confidentiality agreements were relevant, noting that even NDAs signed after Epstein's death could potentially involve Epstein victims. Black's attorney, Susan Estrich, rejected the committee's position as a political “witch hunt,” but Comer made the stakes clear: if Black failed to produce responsive documents or appear for his September 3 deposition, the committee was prepared to use contempt proceedings and other enforcement tools against him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein client Leon Black threatened with contempt by House panel chair | House of Representatives | The Guardian

A year on from Australia’s landmark Senate Inquiry into Menopause and Perimenopause, Senator Marielle Smith returns to Thriving in Menopause to talk about what’s changed – and what still needs to happen. As Co-Sponsor and Deputy Chair of the inquiry, Senator Smith played a pivotal role in bringing the experiences of Australian women into the national spotlight. Now, one of its key recommendations has become a reality, with the launch of a National Menopause and Perimenopause Awareness Campaign designed to help women recognise symptoms, find trusted information and feel more confident seeking support. In this episode, we talk about why greater awareness matters, the stigma that still surrounds menopause, the progress made since the inquiry and where gaps remain in healthcare, workplaces and the wider community. We also ask what real change looks like beyond an awareness campaign – and what Senator Smith hopes the next chapter will bring for women navigating perimenopause and menopause in Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) says it has identified regulatory failure in satellite spectrum licensing following an inquiry. The Authority says this has led to it drafting amendments to the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations of 2015, and the Radio Frequency Spectrum Fees Regulations of 2010. The Ammendments aim to enable direct-to-device satellite connectivity for all South Africans, including underserved communities. This means that connectivity will no longer just rely on terrestrial networks, but also satellites. This came out of the virtual public hearings on the Draft Amendment to the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations of 2015, and the Draft Amendment to the Radio Frequency Spectrum Fees Regulationso of 2010.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has formally withdrawn fraud and corruption charges against Crime Intelligence head Dumisani Khumalo, Brigadier Dineo Mokwele and five others in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court. The group was arrested in June last year and charged over the alleged irregular appointment of Mokwele. The decision to withdraw the charges follows evidence and developments before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry that appeared to undermine the State’s case.

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party and United Africans Transformation are back in the Western Cape High Court today. They are seeking urgent leave to appeal a ruling that froze Parliament's Section 89 impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa. The court halted the Impeachment Committee's work last month at the President's request, pending a review of the independent panel's Phala Phala report. This follows the Constitutional Court's recent dismissal of a direct appeal on the matter. We spoke to MKP MP, Andile Mgxitama.

While some of the blame for the dismal record of investigation and prosecution of TRC Cases can be attributed to the NPA, the lack of political will and interference need to be acknowledge.

“There's a sweetness in Advaita non-dual teachings, right? There is this emphasis on the truth of freedom and...eternal, the eternal ever-present You. I mean, how sweet is that?” - Robbie Chesick Today I share a candid and reflective conversation with Robbie Chesick. Robbie is a lifelong meditator, by nature tropic to tuning into the hum of pure existence at the base of her sense of self. She is also a (recently retired) trauma therapist, a mom, a lazy poet, and a curious wanderer.We discuss meditation, nonduality, feminism, and how spiritual practice meets ordinary life. How can inquiry cut through the conditioning, politics, and ego? It's a delightful and light hearted conversation about the real "stuff" we deal with as humans just navigating our way. Robbie gives great insight into the approach and pursuit of the yogi from her 35 years of sadhana. Key topics: Satsang and the essential shared space of spiritual inquiry.Early questions about identity, the self, and what lies beyond surface reality.Robbie shares her formative journey in her early twenties, including travel through India, illness, danger, and the eventual decision to come to her brother and meet Swamiji.How spiritual realization can coexist with family life, work, parenting, and a public-facing life in the world.Inquiry should be applied everywhere, not only in meditation, and that the mind's habit of either-or thinking can obscure more nuanced, intelligent action.The pressure to conform to tribal thinking, especially in wellness and yoga circles, and how fear of rejection can shape beliefs and behaviour.The forest wanderer phase of life reframed. Robbie distinguishes pure existence from personal identity, emphasizing that the goal is not to become anything other than what you are.I absolutely loved this conversation with Robbie, a wise friend and courageous yogi. She gives me inspiration to keep steadfast on this path as I meet and greet the many phases of life. I know she will give you something to consider as well in this thoughtful satsang space. In oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening! 

The Victorian Legislative Assembly Legal and Social Issues Committee has published their final reports from the Parliamentary Inquiry into the recruitment methods and impacts of cults and organised fringe groups, which commenced in April 2025.

In the latest edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn and Safe Citizen Founder Jonathan Deal take a deep dive into the latest testimony at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry after 159 days of testimony. “I think that we could say that this week the Madlanga Commission stopped being about one scandal and started looking like a stress test of the entire institution of the South African Police Services… because we have five threats all moving at once: Credibility collapse for the woman who ran IDAC, a classified report that moved through the system with nobody able to say under what authority, an EFF leader the commission still has not called, a shooting victim the public doesn't fully believe was shot, and two witnesses - one sealed and one postponed still to come.” Deal also outlines why Special Leave Police Minister Senzo Mchunu can now be safely referred to as former Police Minister: “...this stuff sounds like it's out of a spy novel, quite frankly…. the Inspector General of Intelligence is refusing to hand over a report on an open investigation. All of a sudden, the report is in the hands of the Minister of Police and that gets flown - literally like we see on the movies with spies moving documents around - to the Eastern Cape…and forwarded on WhatsApp…Absolutely mind boggling.”

This week, we welcome Brind Zichy-Woinarski KC, one of the longest-serving and most respected members of the Victorian Bar.From his first mooting competition at university, Brind knew he wanted to be a barrister. As he puts it, he simply wanted to be on his feet, making a fool of himself.In this episode, we hear about being named "Mr Junior" while he was still a reader at the Bar, becoming one of the founding members of the Criminal Bar Association, and appearing in some of Australia's most significant legal matters, including decades of criminal trials, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Lindy and Michael Chamberlain's Convictions, and serving amicus curiae in the Nicola Gobbo (Lawyer X) litigation.It is wonderful to have Brind on the show, and fascinating to hear about his long and distinguished Life in the Law.www.greenslist.com.au/podcastwww.themelbournemap.com.au

Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government sent mixed messages over whether it was considering a public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein's activities in Britain. Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones said Burnham was taking the issue seriously, had agreed to meet Epstein survivors and was examining what action could be taken. Justice minister Jake Richards similarly said no stone should be left unturned and indicated that Burnham would consider the available options. Hours later, however, Downing Street clarified that a public inquiry was not being actively considered, while the Ministry of Justice said the government was only reviewing possible ways to support survivors and address broader systemic failures.The government was also reviewing demands for an inquiry into Mohamed Al Fayed, the former Harrods owner accused by hundreds of women of sexual assault, rape, exploitation and trafficking. Campaigners called for a wider “impunity” inquiry examining how wealthy and powerful men allegedly benefited from institutional protection, potentially covering Epstein, Al Fayed and allegations against West Ham co-owner David Sullivan. Supporters wanted any Epstein inquiry to investigate how he traveled through Britain, including his reported use of military airfields while accompanied by women who may have been trafficked. Former minister Jess Phillips argued that survivors deserved answers about whether parts of the British state had enabled abuse, while Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips said she hoped a meeting with Burnham would lead to accountability, reform and greater protection for future victims.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsources:Andy Burnham insists no plans for Epstein inquiry – hours after two ministers say government is looking into it | The Independent

How well is your interior design inquiry form actually qualifying potential clients? In this episode, Shaun and Rebecca explore how budget dropdowns, minimum project investments, investment guides, and consultations can shape the quality of your leads. They discuss the tension between filtering out unqualified inquiries and educating promising clients who have the money to invest but do not yet understand what furnishing and renovation projects cost.They also unpack a viral designer post announcing a public “breakup” with furniture vendor Four Hands. The conversation expands into vendor relationships, furniture damage claims, buying power, client-facing marketing, rage bait, and whether interior designers should use their business accounts to educate other designers. Plus, they share a tariff-refund surprise, debate realistic measurement tolerances, and offer a quick update from Las Vegas Market.In this episode they discuss:How budget ranges on an interior design inquiry form can attract, qualify, or accidentally discourage potential clientsWhy some high-value clients need pricing education before they are ready to commit to a six-figure design investmentUsing consultations, investment guides, and automated responses to create different paths for different types of leadsWhen a high closing rate may signal that it is time to raise your design fees, expand your team, or increase your project minimumsWhy designers should regularly audit their inquiry process, website links, lead data, and client experienceThe risks of publicly criticizing a furniture vendor on a client-facing interior design accountHow designer education and coaching content can confuse potential clients when it is mixed into a residential design firm's marketingVendor buying power, damaged furniture, tariff refunds, realistic site-measurement tolerances, and the changing Las Vegas Market experienceOur links:Subscribe and leave a review - Apple PodcastsLike, Comment, & Follow - Hot Young Designers Club InstagramRebecca's InstagramShaun's InstagramFor more information - Check out the websiteBecome a “Loyal Hottie” - Support us on PatreonDesign Resources - Check out our shop

Former minister Jess Phillips argued that survivors deserved answers about whether parts of the British state had enabled abuse, while Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips said she hoped a meeting with Burnham would lead to accountability, reform and greater protection for future victims.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsources:Andy Burnham insists no plans for Epstein inquiry – hours after two ministers say government is looking into it | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

‘When it comes to humanitarian crisis, we should not allow children's future to be subject to geopolitics. We can't say that there are politically compulsions as a result of which we are allowing children to die of starvation. We can't say there are political compulsions because of which we are allowing children to die of want of medical aid. So the request before the Security Council was this. Cannot all countries agree on the minimum norms of humanitarian aid?'Jugal Purohit speaks to Srinivasan Muralidhar, a lawyer turned judge in India for over four decades, in November 2025, he was appointed by the UN to lead an independent International Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.The commission examined alleged Israeli violations against Palestinian children from the beginning of Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023 to October 2025. In June 2026 it published its 94-page report. Israel did not cooperate or provide information to the commission. It rejected the report and disputed its conclusions after publication.The report found that Israel had deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip, as well as war crimes in the occupied West Bank.Srinivasan Muralidhar talks about how the commission documented and verified the evidence of violations against children, the challenges it faced in establishing the facts, and the key conclusions it reached in its report.

This week on the Monday Wire... For our weekly catchup with the ACT Party, News Director Castor spoke to MP Simon Court about discriminatory comments from NZ First MPs and candidates, and about the possibilities of plug in solar in Aotearoa.  They also spoke to Professor of Public Health Michael Baker about the recommendations from the latest COVID-19 Inquiry and how politics is influencing pandemic management.  And Producer Pranuja spoke to Associate Professor of Social Sciences, Carisa Showden, about proposed changes to New Zealand's sexual consent laws.

The government's COVID-19 inquiry recently returned a series of recommendations around New Zealand's preparations for future pandemics. While the government accepted the vast majority of these recommendations, there are concerns about the implementation, especially as the pandemic and its management have become a topic of significant political polarisation.  To discuss the inquiry and how politics is influencing our disease management, News Director Castor spoke to Professor of Public Health Michael Baker.

Transparency and stronger legislation are among the two key priorities in the Government's response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19. Released today, it says all 63 recommendations have been accepted in some form, but some only partially. Health Minister Simeon Brown spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

There has been mixed reaction to the government's response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Covid-19 response, with NZ First calling it "pathetic" and Labour calling it a distraction. But the government has accepted "in some form" all of the 63 recommendations, promising key advice will be made public within five working days in future pandemics. Political reporter Lillian Hanly has more.

Extreme heatwaves are becoming more frequent across the globe, not only in countries used to cooler climates, but also in those already familiar with significantly hotter temperatures. Intense heat can have an impact on the human body, from heat stroke to dehydration to skin damage. Economies can suffer as drought conditions impact farming communities. Built up urban areas can exacerbate the temperatures caused by heatwaves. And it can further expose already existing inequalities in society. There is advice out there on how to protect ourselves. There are tried and tested models of sustainable farming. Some urban spaces are being redesigned to accommodate heat extremes, and some major cities are taking action to address the imbalances caused by extreme heat. But do they all go far enough? On this week's Inquiry we're asking, ‘Can we live with extreme heat?'Contributors: Prof Ollie Jay, director of Heat and Health Research Centre, University of Sydney, Australia Lindiwe Majele Sibanda, animal scientist, chairperson of the Council of the National University of Science & Technology, Zimbabwe Winston Chow, co-chair, IPPC Working Group II, professor of urban climate, Singapore Management University Diana Liverman, professor of geography, University of Arizona, Tuscon, USA(Photo: Two people walking with blue umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun in front of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

Dr. Sebastian Wernicke is a data scientist, a partner at Oxera Consulting, and author of the new book Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation. Sebastian talks with Greg about why he thinks culture, not tools, is the biggest obstacle to effective data/AI adoption. Sebastian critiques the “data deficit” assumption that more data yields obvious answers, arguing data often increases complexity and should drive inquiry, psychological safety, and willingness to be proven wrong. They contrast data-driven optimization with a data-inspired mindset that also asks “what if” questions to enable transformation, noting A/B testing examples like Google's “50 shades of Blue” experiment don't generalize out to most business decisions.  Sebastian also explains why initiatives fail when they treat technology as the hard part, while they ignore tacit decision-making, incentives, and workflows, and rely on pilots/lighthouse projects that don't scale. He outlines strategy using Rumelt's framework, discusses silos vs “swamps,” leadership behavior, and why CDO/AI roles need explicit transformation mandates, resources, and CEO-level support. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Culture not technology, drives transformation 11:36: I think when it comes to data and AI specifically, it's really focusing on the wrong problem as the hard problem. I think whenever you're tackling one of these bigger initiatives, you're sort of trying to figure out in the beginning to say, "Well, what's hard about this?" Right? Because that's what we should focus on initially. And usually, I think what many of these projects focus on is clearly technology. So they say, "Well, what's hard about this? It will be hard to get the data together. It will be hard because there's all these fancy algorithms, and we need the cloud infrastructure, and we need the experts," and so on. And the other elements, you know, we need to act differently. We have to bring 20 different stakeholders together because many of these data and AI projects are interdisciplinary, and they all need to agree, and they need to agree in spirit, not just say that they agree and we're actually going to change the way we work, so we're going to redistribute power, maybe even in our organization, or who makes a decision, that's the hard part. More data isn't enough to make better decisions 02:29:  I think we have this inherent assumption that when we want to make better decisions, all we need to do is add a bit of more data to our organizations, right? So, as soon as we see the right data, as soon as we see what the data is telling us, we will know what to do, everybody in the room will agree, and we know how to move forward. And of course, it's not at all like that.  Optimization is not transformation 02:31: We have this inherent assumption that when we want to make better decisions, all we need to do is add a bit of more data to our organizations, right? So as soon as we see the right data, as soon as we see what the data is telling us, we will know what to do. Everybody in the room will agree, and we know how to move forward. And, of course, it's not at all like that.

What if the stories you've been telling yourself about your betrayal — about who you are, what you're capable of, and whether you can heal — aren't facts at all? What if they're just beliefs? And what if beliefs can change?  In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Beyond Belief, Indistractable, and Hooked, for a conversation that will fundamentally shift how you see your own healing journey. Nir is one of the world's leading thinkers on behavior change and human potential, and what he shares here is directly relevant to everyone navigating betrayal recovery.  Nir breaks down the critical difference between facts, faith, and beliefs — and why understanding that distinction is the single most important thing you can do to stop suffering. You'll hear about the science behind limiting beliefs, why your brain is actually designed to keep you stuck, and how something as seemingly small as a shift in perspective can produce results as dramatic as a rat swimming 60 hours instead of 15 minutes.  You'll also discover why 80% of healthcare spending goes to illness (not sickness), what surgery without anesthesia reveals about the power of your mind, and why the biggest limiting belief of all — that feeling bad is bad — may be what's keeping you from your breakthrough.  This episode is for everyone who's ever said, "This is just who I am," or "I can't change," or "I'll be okay once they admit what they did." Nir gently but firmly challenges all of it — and gives you the tools to challenge it yourself.  Topics Covered:  The critical difference between facts, faith, and beliefs — and why it matters for healing  Why beliefs are "tools, not truths" and how to start using them differently  What learned helplessness research got completely wrong — and what the truth reveals about your potential  The Hope Floats study: how rats swam 60 hours instead of 15 minutes — and what that means for you  Why your brain is wired to keep you stuck (and how to work with it, not against it)  The difference between sickness and illness — and why 80% of healthcare spending misses the mark  How Daniel Giss underwent a 55-minute surgical procedure with zero anesthesia using only the power of his mind  The fear-pain-fear loop and how it amplifies betrayal trauma  The surprising science of prayer and pain tolerance — even for people with no faith tradition  How placebos work (and why open-label placebos outperform leading medications for IBS)  Why your memories aren't as accurate as you think — and why that's actually good news  The story of Dashrath Manjhi — the man who moved a mountain (literally) for 22 years  Inquiry-based stress reduction and the one question that can unlock everything: "Could the opposite be true?"  The biggest limiting belief holding people back: feeling bad is bad  Dr. Debi shares research from 100,000+ betrayal survivors on the gut-betrayal connection  A powerful story of a woman who healed a 70+ year digestive issue in two weeks of betrayal recovery  Resources Mentioned:  Nir Eyal's website & free 5-minute Belief Change Journal: NirAndFar.com  Beyond Belief by Nir Eyal  Indistractable by Nir Eyal  Hooked by Nir Eyal  The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery™ — ThePBTInstitute.com  Post Betrayal Syndrome® Assessment — ThePBTInstitute.com  Betrayal to Breakthrough: Live — ThePBTInstitute.com/live  Connect with Nir Eyal:  Website: http://nirandfar.com  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nireyal/  Instagram - http://instagram.com/nireyal  Book: Beyond Belief geni.us/beyondbelief  Free belief change guide is here: https://www.nirandfar.com/beyond-belief-live   Bonus content and the 30-Day Belief Transformation Journal is here: https://www.nirandfar.com/beyond-belief     Connect with Dr. Debi Silber:  Instagram: @debisilber  Website: ThePBTInstitute.com  Join Betrayal to Breakthrough: Live: ThePBTInstitute.com/live

We talk with the Brooklyn Democrat about his interest in their operations and why he thinks more oversight of this multi-billion dollar industry is warranted.

Drew Perkins talks with Mark Enser about his Substack piece titled, A Pedagogy for Powerful Knowledge | Why dialogue, enquiry and cognitive science aren't competing answers.  This episode addresses questions like: "How to combine cognitive science with inquiry-based learning", "Differences between classroom discussion and dialogic teaching", "Why inquiry requires high-level scaffolding", and "How to avoid algorithmic teaching in the classroom".

If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. Some Key Takeaways The "Future Three" Pedagogical Model: Education should move away from abstract, student-led theories toward a "Future Three" approach that prioritizes objective knowledge transmission as the foundation for deeper inquiry.1 Synthesizing Pedagogy: Powerful knowledge is not achieved by picking one method; it requires a synergy of cognitive science (for stability), dialogic teaching (for deeper truth-seeking), and structured inquiry. Dialogue vs. Discussion: Discussion is often superficial and biologically primary. True dialogue is a trained skill requiring support and Socratic guidance to help students critique models and search for truth. Structuring Inquiry: Inquiry is not "minimal guidance." Effective inquiry must be highly scaffolded, using conceptual questions as "maps" that provide a clear purpose for the learning journey and guide students through the application of foundational knowledge. Avoiding "Cargo Cult" Pedagogy: Teachers must prioritize intent over rote, algorithmic application of cognitive science. Methods like retrieval practice should require deeper cognitive effort rather than being used as a checklist of simple recall techniques. Progression for Novices: While integrating all three pillars is the goal, cognitive science practices are often the most stable starting point for novice teachers, as they are easier to structure into playbooks and carry the least risk of unproductive outcomes. Episode Highlights & Timecodes [00:03:04] Mark Enser's Background: From 20 years as a geography teacher to an Ofsted inspector and freelance consultant. [00:12:02] Pedagogical Evolution: The shift from a "Future Two" mindset (student-led) to a "Future Three" model (prioritizing objective knowledge). [00:18:15] The Core Thesis: Why "powerful knowledge" requires a synergy of cognitive science, dialogic teaching, and structured inquiry. [00:20:31] Discussion vs. Dialogue: Distinguishing between the social behavior of discussion and the trained, guided skill of dialogue. [00:26:12] The Search for Truth: Using the dialectic in education to critique models rather than just memorizing facts. [00:33:53] Inquiry vs. Discovery Learning: Why effective inquiry requires high-level scaffolding rather than "minimal guidance." [00:38:04] Inquiry as a Framing Tool: Using conceptual questions as "maps" to provide purpose and bound the curriculum. [00:46:23] Avoiding "Cargo Cult" Cognitive Science: Moving beyond rote algorithms and checklists to prioritize true teacher intent. [00:51:26] Advice for Novice Teachers: Prioritizing cognitive science as a stable baseline before layering in more complex dialogic and inquiry-based strategies.

Gold has been prized throughout history for its value and its beauty, which has also made it attractive to those prepared to exploit this precious metal for their own ends. The European Union recently banned the purchase, import and transfer of gold from Sudan, one of Africa's largest gold producers, saying it had become a key source of financing for the country's civil war. And in other parts of the world where there are gold reserves, there can be similar exploitation. Many artisanal and small-scale miners are vulnerable to organised crime syndicates who find the risks of gold mining lower compared to those of drug trafficking. And illicit gold is much easier to launder into the legal market, because it can be melted down with legitimate sources of gold and smuggled across borders, making its origins much harder to trace. But the challenge for governments trying to enforce the law is how to protect those at the bottom of the chain and provide them with sustainable alternatives to illicit gold mining, whilst clamping down on the criminal groups behind the operation. So, on this week's Inquiry, we're asking ‘Can the illicit gold trade be stopped?'Contributors: Campbell Harvey, professor of finance, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA Dr Dan Watson, research associate, International Institute for Strategic Studies, London, UK Bram Ebus, consultant with International Crisis Group, founder and co-director Amazon Underworld, Bogotá, Colombia Louis Maréchal, senior advisor on minerals & extractives, OECD, Paris, France.

This week's episode is an exploration of the search for freedom. For those of us who find ourselves on some kind of spiritual path, practicing techniques that allow us to expand into truer, fuller expressions of what we really are, it can be tempting to identify as ‘seekers.' Usually what we're seeking is a sense of freedom. One such seeker poses the question in this episode, “Is there such a thing as freedom?” All the mystics – ancient and modern – say there is. But why is it so hard to find it? And how does it connect to the idea of free will? Are we actually controlling the events of our life? Could it be that real freedom comes from releasing the “I” that thinks it needs to manage everything? Join in the group inquiry, get still, and notice what arises within in response to these questions.
