⚡️SHOCKWAVE BEATS BACK PAIN PODCAST | DARE TO BE VITAL BOOKFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of this WEEK's PODCASTOptimism is Neurologically Attractive and ContagiousOptimism doesn't just feel good—it rewires your brain. New neuroscience research shows optimists share synchronized brain activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, enhancing emotional clarity and resilience. Optimism is also perceived as more attractive, expands social networks, and increases perceived support.✅ Action: Rate your current optimism on a 0–10 scale and actively recall vivid positive events to build emotional clarity and future-focused optimism.2. Exercise Acts as Anti-Cancer MedicineYour muscles are your medicine cabinet. A 2025 study showed that just one session of resistance or high-intensity interval training reduced breast cancer cell growth by up to 30% in survivors. Why? Because exercise stimulates myokines like IL-6 and SPARC that suppress tumor growth.✅ Action: Track your caloric intake honestly using a mobile app. Understand your personal “maintenance” number—and adjust with discipline.3. Obesity Dramatically Accelerates Biological AgingBeing overweight isn't just a cosmetic issue—it's a time bomb. A study on young adults found that long-term obesity increased biological age by up to 48%, with elevated inflammation, insulin resistance, and telomere shortening.✅ Action: Track your caloric intake honestly using a mobile app. Understand your personal “maintenance” number—and adjust with discipline.4. Discipline is a Superpower You Can TrainConsistency crushes complexity. Citing Ryan Holiday and Angela Duckworth, Dr. Mishra emphasized that small, daily acts of discipline—especially in physical, mental, social, or spiritual arenas—compound into long-term vitality.✅ Action: Pick one micro-discipline (like 20 minutes of walking or reading daily) and commit. Use it to build grit and momentum.5. Vitality Is Earned—Not InheritedTo be your most vital self, you must take ownership. The podcast tied together optimism, movement, nutrition, and discipline as core pillars of vitality. Each requires daily choices that accumulate over time—not talent, luck, or genetics.✅ Action: Choose one of the above pillars to focus on this week and invite a friend or family member to join you. Accountability accelerates progress.Copyright VyVerse®, LLC. All Rights Reserved. This is a public episode.

On The Digital Executive podcast, Ani Mishra shares his insights as a seasoned software engineering leader at DoorDash, where he oversees the logistics systems powering grocery, retail, convenience, and alcohol delivery. Mishra emphasizes the importance of solving a single customer problem deeply and effectively before generalizing the solution for other verticals, ensuring both speed and scalability. He explains that high-performing teams thrive when they are built with top talent, are given autonomy, and have clear focus areas—along with a shared sense of ownership for the reliability of their systems. His leadership approach is grounded in understanding each team member's motivation, fostering inclusive culture, and always planning ahead to align talent with future problems.Drawing on his early startup experience at Phoenix and Mobify, Mishra reflects on the hands-on, all-hats nature of startup life, which taught him to build products from the ground up, scale them, and lead with empathy. Looking forward, he is most excited about how large language models (LLMs) are transforming logistics. From improving item discovery and route optimization in stores to enhancing customer experience and delivery safety, LLMs are enabling more intelligent and responsive systems. While AI has long played a role in logistics, Ani believes LLMs will accelerate innovation—from real-time decision-making to autonomous vehicles—making deliveries faster, safer, and more precise in the years ahead.Join thousands of curious minds and never miss a beat – Subscribe to our Newsletter for exclusive insights, episode highlights, and expert takeaways delivered straight to your inbox.

MOVE NOW to Fight Cancer Podcast / DARE TO BE VITAL BOOKFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of this Week's Podcast* Stop injecting cortisone for knee or elbow pain.A newly published MRI study of 210 patients showed that even one cortisone shot accelerated knee-osteoarthritis progression and carried risks such as bone-marrow lesions and rapid joint destruction. Dr. Mishra argues that “doing nothing” is safer than cortisone and recommends a “better biologics flywheel” of weight control, muscle building, and vitamin D optimization instead.* Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a promising muscle- and bone-builder.A meta-analysis of 21 randomized trials (~750 healthy women) found WBV platforms significantly improved lower-body strength and femoral bone density; benefits were greatest with >12 weeks of training at frequencies above 30 Hz, and in post-menopausal women.* Musculoskeletal health underpins long-term vitality.Losing mobility cascades into weight gain, cardiovascular decline, and even cognitive slowdown. Dr. Mishra positions whole-body vibration, strength training, and biologic approaches (muscle, bone, vitamin D) as an “all-in strategy” to safeguard movement capacity and overall life performance.* Interacting with dogs measurably boosts brain health and mood.An EEG study of 30 adults showed activities like playing, grooming, and walking a dog lowered stress markers and heightened relaxation, attention, and creativity, branding dogs as “verified vitality enhancers.”* Weekly action plan—do the right thing because it is right.Inspired by Kant's dictum, the episode's practical call-outs are: skip cortisone, build muscle via whole body vibration and spend time with a dog to spark calm and creativity. Implementing even one of these evidence-based steps moves you toward Dr. Mishra's goal of optimizing vitality and performance “one person at a time.” This is a public episode.

Annie Montaut est linguiste de formation et spécialiste de la civilisation indienne. Son nouvel ouvrage Trois mille ans d'écologie indienne : Penser autrement la nature est un livre érudit et passionnant sur la pensée et les pratiques de l'écologie dans la civilisation indienne depuis ses lointaines origines. Entretien. Alors que l'Inde moderne est souvent montrée du doigt comme mauvais élève écologique à cause de ses records de pollution non-maîtrisée, les penseurs indiens n'ont cessé de réfléchir depuis des temps anciens sur les liens de l'homme avec son environnement. Faisant sienne l'affirmation de l'écologiste indienne Vandana Shiva selon laquelle l'Inde est dans ses « principes civilisationnels profonds » une civilisation fondamentalement écologique dans la mesure où elle ne sépare pas l'être humain des autres êtres vivants, l'essayiste Annie Montaut revient dans son nouvel opus sur les tenants et les aboutissants de la pensée écologique indienne. Le hiatus et le prolongement entre les fondements philosophiques et les pratiques écologiques contemporaines sont le sujet de ces pages.RFI : Comment est née l'idée de ce livre ?Annie Montaut : L'idée, elle est née, il y a très longtemps. Ce n'était pas l'idée d'un livre, c'était d'abord un intérêt, qui a été suscité, je dirais, dès mon arrivée en Inde où j'ai travaillé entre 1981 et 1987 en tant qu'enseignante dans une université à New Delhi. Il se trouve qu'à l'université j'étais collègue de Maya Jani qui était la secrétaire d'une association qui s'appelle « Navdanya ». C'est l'association de Vandana Shiva, connue pour son combat contre le brevetage des semences et pour avoir placé la femme et l'écologie au cœur du discours sur le développement moderne. J'ai donc connu très rapidement Vandana Shiva, en fait dès mon arrivée en Inde en 1981. A la suite, j'ai rencontré l'écologiste gandhien Anupam Mishra, qui, lui aussi, a beaucoup contribué à mener à bien ma réflexion sur les stratégies de protection de l'environnement en Inde. Mishra est l'homme de l'eau, de collecte, de gestion et de préservation de l'eau en milieu aride, notamment au Rajasthan. Quant à l'écologie tout court, pour ça il a fallu que j'aille puiser dans mon archéologie personnelle, familiale en particulier. Je suis d'origine rurale, à seulement deux générations. J'ai eu aussi un père qui m'a beaucoup sensibilisé aux dégradations commises dans nos campagnes françaises dès les années 1950. Ce livre est un mix de tout ça. C'est vrai qu'il y a beaucoup de militantisme dans ces pages, mais il y a aussi l'envie de faire découvrir ce qui se passait en Inde dans ce domaine à un public non-spécialisé, c'est-à-dire à d'autres que des indologistes.Annie Montaut, vous convoquez la linguistique, la littérature, la philosophie, les arts de l'Inde antique pour montrer que la conscience écologique existait en Inde depuis les débuts de la civilisation indienne. Mais vous dîtes aussi qu'en Inde il n'y avait pas de mots pour désigner autrefois l'environnement ou l'écologie. C'est plutôt paradoxal, non ?Non, non, si vous y réfléchissez, le mot « écologie » est moderne, le mot « environnement » au sens qu'il a aujourd'hui, c'est aussi un néologisme.  Donc, je pense que dans aucune culture traditionnelle, qu'elle soit orientale ou occidentale, il n'y avait pas de mot jusqu'à encore très récemment pour désigner ce qu'on appelle la discipline écologique ou environnementale. Oui, maintenant,  il y a des mots pour le dire ces choses-là. En Inde aussi, où on emploie beaucoup la terminologie anglaise. Le mot « environment » est couramment utilisé, « ecology » un peu moins. Il existe aussi des mots en hindi, souvent des mots savants que personne dans la rue n'emploie, mais qui sont des calques de l'« environment » anglais. On dira, par exemple, paristhiti, qui signifie la nature qui est autour, dont on est par définition extérieur, à l'écart, alors que selon la vision qui est particulièrement prégnante en Inde, l'homme n'est pas à l'extérieur de quelque chose qu'on appelle « nature » et qui nous environnerait. L'homme n'en est pas le maître, mais il en fait partie.La question fondamentale qui se pose alors : comment les Indiens pensent la nature ? C'est un sujet auquel vous avez consacré tout un chapitre de votre livre. Pourriez-vous nous en parler ?En Occident comme en Inde, avant « environment », on avait « nature » et « culture ». Chez nous, en Occident, les deux concepts s'opposent. Même linguistiquement, si les deux mots ont les mêmes suffixes, leurs racines sont différentes. En Inde, ça ne se passe pas du tout comme ça. Lexicalement déjà, dans les langues indo-aryennes, le mot pour dire « nature », c'est prakriti et sanskriti pour « culture ». Les deux mots sont formés sur une base verbale commune : kri. Ils sont construits à partir des préfixes différents, mais qui ne sont pas opposés. Le préfixe du mot signifiant la nature en langues indiennes désigne un mouvement dynamique, un développement interne, et le préfixe pour culture désigne son ordonnancement. Quant à la racine, commune aux deux termes, c'est une forme nominale du verbe « agir », un agir qui veut dire perfectionnement dans le cas de la culture et qui conçoit la nature comme un réservoir d'énergies libres. Moi, j'ai trouvé extrêmement intéressant que « nature » et « culture » soient les deux versants du même « agir ». Dans la tradition classique indienne, la nature est pensée comme l'amont de la culture, dans un même mouvement de l'énergie de création.Autrement dit, comme vous l'expliquez, nature et culture sont interconnectées dans la pensée indienne...Dans la conception indienne, les deux phénomènes se posent en partenariats. Ils sont interconnectés au sein d'un cosmos dans lequel l'homme fait partie et où les vivants acquièrent leur complétude dans leur interdépendance. Cette vision de l'interconnexion a été élaborée depuis des millénaires dans la pensée philosophique, spéculative et mystique indienne. On peut parler d'autant plus de l'interconnexion que l'ensemble du monde matériel procède des mêmes éléments fondamentaux. Il y a la terre, l'air, l'eau, le feu, le ciel, et tout est issu de ces éléments de base. L'être humain, il est formé des mêmes cinq éléments. L'être végétal, pareil. L'être animal, pareil. Tout le monde est formé de ces cinq éléments et on ne peut donc pas dissocier l'être humain, du milieu végétal, aquatique et aérien dont il fait aussi partie.Enfin, diriez-vous que cette vision plurimillénaire d'une création interconnectée continue de nourrir la pensée écologique indienne d'aujourd'hui ?C'est une question super difficile parce qu'il y a plusieurs écologies en Inde. Il y en a une qui m'a intéressée, c'est celle qui a donné lieu aux grands mouvements populaires et c'est celle qui a beaucoup contribué à faire connaître l'écologie indienne, en particulier la pensée dans ce domaine de Vandana Shiva à qui j'emprunte cette notion que la pensée indienne est fondamentalement écologique par sa philosophie de l'interconnexion généralisée. Parallèlement, vous avez ce qu'on appelle une écologie urbaine, qui n'a pas du tout les mêmes bases. Elle encourage, par exemple, la sanctuarisation de l'espace naturel sous forme de parcs naturels dont l'entrée est souvent payante, donc réservée à une élite argentée. Contrairement aux populations rurales, les défenseurs de cette écologie urbaine ne vivent pas l'idée de l'interconnexion de tous les vivants dans leur chair, tout simplement parce que quand on vit en ville, on ne voit plus la terre ! Mais comme l'Inde est encore largement rurale, la pensée de la nature et sa sauvegarde restent encore empreintes des idées traditionnelles d'interconnexion et de partenariat entre l'homme et son environnement.Peut-on dire que la rupture épistémologique en Inde dans son approche de la nature date de la période de la colonisation occidentale ?La colonisation a certes modifié en profondeur la vision indienne du monde et elle a eu des conséquences sur les pratiques écologiques comme dans d'autres domaines. Cette rupture coloniale a été largement documentée par une école qui s'appelle l'école des subalternistes. Ces derniers ont magnifiquement mis en lumière la schizophrénie entre des modes de pensée traditionnelle et des modes de pensée occidentale. La colonisation a été une entreprise de prédation avec ses exactions sur l'environnement au nom de la modernité, mais rien de commun avec ce qui s'est passé en Inde dans ce domaine après l'indépendance. La « révolution verte » des années 1970 a été le pas décisif pour modifier le rapport à la nature, avec un recours massif à l'agrochimie. En découle l'endettement des paysans qui sont obligés désormais d'acheter quantité de pesticides, d'herbicides et d'engrais chimiques. Ce changement de paradigme dans l'agriculture a entraîné dans son sillage la catastrophe de l'usine pétrochimique de Bhopal qui a endeuillé l'Inde en 1984. On a là un pays qui n'a rien à voir avec son écologie traditionnelle et ses décideurs jouent à fond le modèle développementaliste, qui est très critiqué par des écologistes indiens comme Anupam Mishra ou Vandana Shiva.Votre thèse sur la « vertuosité » de l'écologie indienne s'appuie sur les pratiques de sauvegarde de l'environnement au niveau des « grassroots », soit des populations de base. Pourriez-vous en citer quelques exemples saillants ?Ces pratiques ont la particularité d'émerger spontanément des besoins vitaux des populations marginalisées. Je pense aux habitants premiers qu'on appelle les « adivasis » qui, tout comme d'autres populations vivant dans des milieux fragiles, soit subdésertiques ou montagnards, défendent les ressources limitées dont ils dépendent pour leur survie. Elle est déterminée par l'entretien de leurs ressources, notamment en eau, en agriculture ou pour la chasse, car les « adivasis » chassent beaucoup. Les pratiques agroécologiques propres à ces communautés se caractérisent par une interaction basée sur le partenariat - et non sur la prédation - entre les acteurs et le milieu spécifique dans lequel ces derniers oeuvrent. Dans mon livre, j'ai évoqué longuement l'agropastoralisme, le respect de la forêt ou la métallurgie traditionnelle pratiquées par les communautés d'« adivasis », aux modes de vie particulièrement respectueux du vivant.Vous avez parlé aussi longuement des combats écologiques menés par les femmes indiennes, qui semblent jouer un rôle de premier plan dans ce domaine. L'exemple qui vient à l'esprit et qui est connu dans le monde entier, c'est le mouvement Chipko.En effet, les femmes furent au cœur de ce mouvement né dans les années 1970 pour la conservation des forêts en Inde. « Chipko » signifie littéralement « s'enlacer ». C'est ce que ces militantes ont fait en enlaçant les troncs des arbres de leur forêt pour empêcher les bûcherons missionnés par le gouvernement d'abattre les arbres. Elles ont effectivement réussi à stopper les tronçonneuses et le massacre programmé. Pourquoi ce sont les femmes qui étaient au premier plan ? En fait, dans la région des Himalayas, dans le nord de l'Inde où ce mouvement s'est déroulé, les hommes descendent en ville pendant la mousson pour trouver du travail qu'ils ne trouvent pas localement. C'était donc aux femmes restées sur place de prendre le flambeau. Elles l'ont fait avec courage et efficacité. Il faut dire que les femmes sont les premières concernées dans ces combats écologiques menaçant les ressources en eau ou en bois, indispensables pour la subsistance. Traditionnellement, en Inde, ce sont les femmes qui s'occupent du bétail. La forêt fournit du fourrage pour le bétail, du combustible pour cuisiner, elle est aussi le réservoir de plantes médicinales et de certaines plantes vivrières aussi. N'oublions pas les corvées d'eau ? Dans les villages indiens où l'eau courante n'arrive toujours pas, ce sont toujours des femmes qui sont obligées d'aller chercher de l'eau avec un pot sur la tête. L'économie vivrière étant très largement aux mains des femmes, ces dernières sont particulièrement sensibles aux menaces sur leurs ressources. Ce sont toujours les femmes qui ont mené la révolte contre les usines Coca-Cola parce qu'elles prenaient toute l'eau et l'empoisonnaient.Derrière votre célébration des pratiques écologiques indiennes, faites de combats et d'affirmation d'un modèle vertueux d'interaction entre l'homme et la nature basé sur partenariat et non prédation, difficile de ne pas lire une véhémente critique de la pensée écologique occidentale. L'écologie traditionnelle des pauvres pratiquée dans l'Inde des villages et des « adivasis » peut-elle être le modèle pour le monde ?  Elle peut évidemment, mais elle doit, si on ne veut pas, comme on le dit grossièrement, aller dans le mur. Ce ne sont certainement pas les techno-solutions qui vont permettre de reconstituer les sols abîmés dans le monde. L'écologie sera sociale ou ne sera pas comme l'a écrit l'écologiste belge Daniel Tanuro. En effet, on a besoin que se généralisent dans le monde des pratiques écologiques visant à préserver et à promouvoir une gestion holistique de la question de la protection de l'environnement, se substituant à la gestion aux visées prédatrices qui ne font que dégrader nos milieux vitaux. Cela dit, je ne voulais pas que mon livre soit une simple critique de l'occident, même si je critique un certain modèle de développement qui a bien sûr germé en Occident, mais qui n'a pas été adopté à travers tout le monde occidental. Il a été critiqué dès les années 1950 dans mon pays limousin où un chansonnier occitan, qui se faisait parfois porte-parole de la paysannerie française pour affirmer  qu'« épuiser la terre jusqu'à la rendre stérile » était comme « violenter une fille non-consentante ». Pour moi, ces propos ne sont pas sans rappeler les propos apocryphes du chef indien qui dans sa lettre apocryphe envoyée au président américain à la fin du XIXe siècle en apprenant qu'il allait devoir céder les terres de son peuple aux Etats-Unis, écrivait : « La terre n'appartient pas à l'homme, l'homme appartient à la terre ». Les résonances entre les propos du chanteur de mon pays limousin et ceux du chef indien sont la preuve que l'Occident est tout sauf monolithique.Propos recueillis par Tirthankar ChandaTrois mille ans d'écologie indienne : penser autrement la nature, de Annie Montaut, aux Éditions du Seuil, 235 pages, 23,50 euros.

Coffee Combats Aging Podcast || Vitality Optimization Course WaitlistFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTVitality Powers Performance* Dr. Mishra emphasizes that vitality—defined as purposeful, energetic, and connected living—is the foundation of optimal performance. Performance, in contrast, is about execution and outcomes. By improving vitality, individuals are more likely to perform at higher, more sustainable levels in their personal and professional lives.Music as a Scientific Tool for Well-being* The podcast presents scientific evidence supporting music as a potent stress-reduction and mental health enhancement tool. Self-selected music can synchronize brainwaves, enhance theta waves, and even treat depression. The more someone enjoys the music, the more effective it is. Dr. Mishra created a “Vitality Explorers 2025” Spotify playlist with his Stanford students to leverage this insight.Top Time Optimization Tips for High-Capacity Humans* Dr. Mishra outlines strategies to become a "high-capacity human" by optimizing time:* Master 80%, understand 20% for exams or critical tasks.* Be ruthless with meeting and office visit time, focusing on top concerns first.* Demonstrate calm under pressure and contribute beyond your role.* Lead like a surgeon: prepare thoroughly, reflect on what works, and build trust.* Balance life for sustainable excellence, with rest and reconnection seen as essential.Time Perception Can Be Mentally Manipulated* Groundbreaking research discussed in the episode reveals that imagining movement, such as running, can alter our perception of time, making it seem to pass faster. This has potential applications for enhancing productivity, reducing perceived pain, and treating mental health conditions such as depression, ADHD, and schizophrenia.Attention Management and Time Awareness Drive Well-being* Dr. Mishra urges listeners to treat time as a non-renewable asset and manage attention deliberately. Strategies like spending 1,000 seconds reflecting on time use, avoiding multitasking, and creating a “to-done” list are suggested. Scientific studies cited show that effective time management is strongly linked to mental well-being, life satisfaction, and reduced stress—often more than performance gains.Coffee Combats Aging Podcast || Vitality Optimization Course Waitlist This is a public episode.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Naman Mishra, CTO of Repello AI, to unpack the real-world security risks behind deploying large language models. We talk about layered vulnerabilities—from the model, infrastructure, and application layers—to attack vectors like prompt injection, indirect prompt injection through agents, and even how a simple email summarizer could be exploited to trigger a reverse shell. Naman shares stories like the accidental leak of a Windows activation key via an LLM and explains why red teaming isn't just a checkbox, but a continuous mindset.

They frame the episode around AI security, contrasting prompt injection risks with traditional cybersecurity in ML apps.05:00 - Naman explains the layered security model: model, infrastructure, and application layers. He distinguishes safety (bias, hallucination) from security (unauthorized access, data leaks).10:00 - Focus on the application layer, especially in finance, healthcare, and legal. Naman shares how ChatGPT leaked a Windows activation key and stresses data minimization and security-by-design.15:00 - They discuss red teaming, how Repel AI simulates attacks, and Anthropic's HackerOne challenge. Naman shares how adversarial testing strengthens LLM guardrails.20:00 - Conversation shifts to AI agents and autonomy. Naman explains indirect prompt injection via email or calendar, leading to real exploits like reverse shells—all triggered by summarizing an email.25:00 - Stewart compares the Internet to a castle without doors. Naman explains the cat-and-mouse game of security—attackers need one flaw; defenders must lock every door. LLM insecurity lowers the barrier for attackers.30:00 - They explore input/output filtering, role-based access control, and clean fine-tuning. Naman admits most guardrails can be broken and only block low-hanging fruit.35:00 - They cover denial-of-wallet attacks—LLMs exploited to run up massive token costs. Naman critiques DeepSeek's weak alignment and state bias, noting training data risks.40:00 - Naman breaks down India's AI scene: Bangalore as a hub, US-India GTM, and the debate between sovereignty vs. pragmatism. He leans toward India building foundational models.45:00 - Closing thoughts on India's AI future. Naman mentions Sarvam AI, Krutrim, and Paris Chopra's Loss Funk. He urges devs to red team before shipping—"close the doors before enemies walk in."Key InsightsAI security requires a layered approach. Naman emphasizes that GenAI applications have vulnerabilities across three primary layers: the model layer, infrastructure layer, and application layer. It's not enough to patch up just one—true security-by-design means thinking holistically about how these layers interact and where they can be exploited.Prompt injection is more dangerous than it sounds. Direct prompt injection is already risky, but indirect prompt injection—where an attacker hides malicious instructions in content that the model will process later, like an email or webpage—poses an even more insidious threat. Naman compares it to smuggling weapons past the castle gates by hiding them in the food.Red teaming should be continuous, not a one-off. One of the critical mistakes teams make is treating red teaming like a compliance checkbox. Naman argues that red teaming should be embedded into the development lifecycle, constantly testing edge cases and probing for failure modes, especially as models evolve or interact with new data sources.LLMs can unintentionally leak sensitive data. In one real-world case, a language model fine-tuned on internal documentation ended up leaking a Windows activation key when asked a completely unrelated question. This illustrates how even seemingly benign outputs can compromise system integrity when training data isn't properly scoped or sanitized.Denial-of-wallet is an emerging threat vector. Unlike traditional denial-of-service attacks, LLMs are vulnerable to economic attacks where a bad actor can force the system to perform expensive computations, draining API credits or infrastructure budgets. This kind of vulnerability is particularly dangerous in scalable GenAI deployments with limited cost monitoring.Agents amplify security risks. While autonomous agents offer exciting capabilities, they also open the door to complex, compounded vulnerabilities. When agents start reading web content or calling tools on their own, indirect prompt injection can escalate into real-world consequences—like issuing financial transactions or triggering scripts—without human review.The Indian AI ecosystem needs to balance speed with sovereignty. Naman reflects on the Indian and global context, warning against simply importing models and infrastructure from abroad without understanding the security implications. There's a need for sovereign control over critical layers of AI systems—not just for innovation's sake, but for national resilience in an increasingly AI-mediated world.

After breaking a two-month ceasefire, Israel launched an assault on Gaza on Tuesday, killing more than 400 people in pre-dawn strikes. The death toll continues to climb as airstrikes persist, and Israel pushes forward with a ground invasion. At least 200 children have been killed in recent attacks, according to UNICEF. The assault — the deadliest in over a year — came after Donald Trump gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the green light to break the ceasefire. Netanyahu has warned, “This is only the beginning.” Author Pankaj Mishra argues Israel operates within a “culture of impunity,” emboldened by global far-right movements that admire Israel's “brazen cruelty.”This week on The Intercept Briefing, reporter Jonah Valdez speaks to Mishra about his latest book, "The World After Gaza,” which examines how the war on Gaza isn't just another conflict — it's a turning point reshaping global politics, exposing institutional failures, and forcing a reckoning over who sets the rules on the world stage.“Some of the worst people in the world today are drawn to Israel," Mishra says. “Not because they believe in Zionism, not because they are protective of Jewish population of Israel, but because Israel again represents to them — embodies this opportunity to take whatever you can and hold on to it using extreme violence if necessary.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
