NULLIFICATION AND THE WEAPONIZATION OF IMPEACHMENT Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. The discussion covers modern "nullification," where jurisdictions like sanctuary cities deliberately ignore federal immigration laws, creating a dangerous legal asymmetry. Hanson also argues that the impeachment process has been distorted into a political tool used to punish first-term presidents who lose congressional majorities, rather than for genuine high crimes. He contends that the dual impeachment of Donald Trump set a destructive precedent that effectively nullifies the electoral will of the citizenry. NUMBER 6

Understanding the Complexities of Tort Law and Strict LiabilityThis conversation delves into the complexities of contracts and torts, focusing on the economic loss doctrine and strict liability. It highlights the fundamental differences between tort law and contract law, the implications of the economic loss doctrine, and the evolution of products liability. Key cases and legal principles are discussed to provide law students with a comprehensive understanding of these critical areas of law.In the realm of first-year law school, few topics are as challenging and essential as the intersection of contracts and torts. This blog post delves into the economic loss doctrine and the maze of strict liability rules, providing law students with the insights needed to excel in their exams.The Economic Loss Doctrine: A Legal WallThe economic loss doctrine (ELD) serves as a crucial boundary between contract and tort claims. It ensures that if a product merely disappoints without causing personal injury or property damage, the remedy lies in contract or warranty law. The landmark case of East River Steamship highlights this principle, emphasizing that a manufacturer in a commercial relationship has no duty under negligence or strict liability to prevent a product from injuring itself.Strict Liability: Beyond ProductsStrict liability extends beyond products, rooted in historical cases involving animals and land use. The famous Rylands v. Fletcher case established that if an occupier of land keeps something likely to cause mischief if it escapes, they are strictly liable for any resulting damage. Modern courts have narrowed this rule, introducing foreseeability requirements to balance fairness and risk.Modern Products Liability: A Legal RevolutionThe mid-20th century saw a legal revolution in products liability, driven by the concept of enterprise liability. This shift placed the cost of injuries from defective products onto manufacturers, who are best positioned to control risks. The consumer expectations test and the risk utility test are pivotal in determining product defects, with the latter offering a more analytical approach to balancing design risks and benefits.Navigating the Legal LandscapeAs law students prepare for their exams, understanding the nuances of tort law and strict liability is essential. By mastering the economic loss doctrine, strict liability principles, and modern products liability tests, students can confidently tackle exam questions and excel in their legal studies. Subscribe now for more insights into the world of law.TakeawaysThe economic loss doctrine separates contract claims from tort claims.Tort law is expansive, focusing on societal duties, while contract law is restrictive, focusing on specific agreements.The East River case is foundational for understanding the economic loss doctrine.Economic loss is categorized into direct and consequential damages.The integrated system theory limits tort recovery for damages within a single product.The independent duty rule allows for tort claims if a separate duty is breached.Consumer exceptions to the economic loss doctrine protect vulnerable buyers.Strict liability applies to inherently dangerous activities and certain animal cases.The risk-utility test is a modern standard for design defects in products liability.The evolution of products liability reflects a shift towards enterprise liability.law, contracts, torts, economic loss doctrine, strict liability, products liability, legal education, law school, tort law, legal principles

The modern world is a noisy, chaotic place. News about what's happening in the world is constantly available on a device in your pocket. The internet offers more content than any person could consume in their lifetime, or in 10 lifetimes.Politics can feel unstable, with elected officials changing the norms and rules of our political system. AI is upending our ideas about what work will look like in the next few decades. And social media, designed by technology companies to monetize attention, offers up millions of rabbit holes in which to lose yourself — self improvement hacks, niche interests, impossible beauty standards.Taking all of that in can feel like an insurmountable task most days. So try doing it with a brain and a body that are changing dramatically at the same time.How do young people — adolescents going through puberty — experience the world today?

Dictionary.com's word of the year isn't really a word — it's a number that went viral on TikTok. The selection caused a ruckus among lexicographers. But editors argued that social media is a major force in creating new words these days, and the whole point of choosing a word of the year is to “reveal the stories we tell about ourselves and how we've changed.”It's no surprise to author Stefan Fatsis, who chronicles the rise of the modern dictionary in his new book, “Unabridged: The Thrill of and Threat to the Modern Dictionary.” He joined Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to nerd out over words and to talk about the power the humble dictionary has to shape our lives. “Language bubbles up from below,” Fatsis says. “For at least the last 60 years, the dictionary's function is to be descriptive, to reflect back on culture the way we humans use language — as opposed to prescriptive, the belief for many generations, which was that dictionaries should tell people how to use language.”Fatsis also talks about his time being embedded as a lexicographer-in-training at America's most famous dictionary publisher, Merriam-Webster, and how the internet and AI threaten this most foundational of books. Guest:Stefan Fatsis is a journalist and the author of many books. He's also responsible for defining 15 words in Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, including a Kerri Miller favorite — sheeple. His new book is “Unabridged: The Thrill of and Threat to the Modern Dictionary.”Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Episode quotes: "Hydrogen sulfide doesn't announce itself. It can drift in, hit your mucus membranes, and start causing real harm before you know it's there." "You can't treat sensor response like magic—it's physics, chemistry, and smart filtering working together to tell you what's actually happening in the space." In this episode, Bill & Eric sit down with Dave Massner from Sensorcon, a long-time technical contributor in the world of portable gas detection, to dig into the realities behind CO, H₂S, and O₂ sensing in both HVAC and industrial environments. Bill recaps the origins of their relationship with Sensorcon, which sets the stage for Dave to explain why gas detection still matters and brings in real-world examples—from oil fields to everyday equipment rooms—to show how invisible hazards shape how techs should approach safety. The conversation explores lesser-understood threats like hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)—a gas that can travel with the wind in oil and gas regions and incapacitate workers before they realize it's there. We discuss the physiology, the chemistry, and the grim speed at which exposure can become deadly. From there, we shift to oxygen depletion, clarifying what "too low" actually means in field work and why measuring O₂ is just as important as detecting toxic gases. The episode also gets into the nuts and bolts of sensor behavior: signal-to-noise ratios, filtering, raw output, response time, and the clever algorithms that help instruments stabilize faster without sacrificing accuracy. Toward the end, we highlight Sensorcon's ongoing efforts in training, education, and transparency, pointing listeners to the company's technical blog posts, videos, and calibration resources. We also make the case for low-level CO alarms and why TruTech Tools has championed them for over a decade. As we wrap up, we leave listeners with a simple takeaway: understand your sensors, understand your risks, and choose equipment that treats safety as something more than a checkbox.

Most companies don't have a marketing problem.They have a trust problem.Specifically, a trust breakdown between the CEO and the CMO.In this episode of Think Millions, I unpack why CEOs don't trust marketing leaders, why CMOs feel set up to fail, and why both sides are actually right. Modern buying behavior has changed, but the mental models and measurement systems evaluating marketing have not.Buying is nonlinear.Decisions happen privately.Influence happens long before attribution ever shows up.Yet marketing is still judged at the end of the funnel.This episode breaks down the real reason trust erodes, why marketing feels invisible even when it is working, and how leadership teams can fix the disconnect without forcing marketing into outdated boxes.No hype. No theory. Just what actually happens inside real companies trying to scale.Key parts of the conversation:0:16 – Why CEOs don't trust CMOs and why CMOs feel set up to fail 0:54 – The stat that should make every CMO uncomfortable 1:14 – Why trust controls budgets, hiring, and risk 1:29 – One third of Fortune 500 companies eliminating the CMO role 2:01 – Why CEOs and CMOs are both right 2:12 – The outdated system quietly killing trust 2:36 – Rising expectations, shrinking budgets, impossible timelines 2:58 – Brand and trust compound quietly but are evaluated loudly 3:06 – Why modern buying no longer happens in a straight line 3:20 – Marketing influencing outcomes before it can be measured 3:34 – The burnout and trust fracture inside marketing teams 3:41 – Most marketing arguments are actually about fear 3:51 – Why uncertainty makes leaders pull back 4:13 – Marketing used to feel simpler, even with less data 4:25 – Marketing shapes preference before pipeline 4:30 – CEOs are asking the wrong question, not an unreasonable one 4:36 – Marketing is no longer transactional; it is directionalGreat quotes from the podcast:• “Most companies don't have a marketing problem. They have a trust problem.”• “80% of CEOs do not trust their CMOs. That should scare you.”• “Trust is the foundation of every decision a company makes.”• “When trust exists, leaders invest forward. When it breaks, leaders pull back.”• “The CEO isn't wrong. The CMO isn't wrong. The system is outdated.”• “Marketing is being evaluated on outcomes that no longer happen in a straight line.”• “Marketing is influencing outcomes before it can be measured.”• “Marketing is doing two jobs at once shaping perception early and justifying results late.”• “Most marketing arguments aren't about marketing. They're about fear.”• “Marketing is no longer transactional. It's directional.”• “Strong marketing starts to look invisible when measurement lives too late.”ResourcesAll Episodes: Think Millions PodcastQuestions or Comments: support@thynkconsultinggroup.comAlexa's Instagram: @dralexadagostinoAlexa's Website: AlexaD'Agostino.comBook a Discovery Call with Alexa: Discovery CallThynkFuel Agency: ThynkFuelMedia.com

In The Remote Revolution: Drones and Modern Statecraft (Cornell UP, 2025), Erik Lin-Greenberg shows that drones are rewriting the rules of international security, but not in ways one would expect. Emerging technologies like drones are often believed to increase the likelihood of crises and war. By lowering the potential risks and human costs of military operations, they encourage decision-makers to deploy military force. Yet, as Lin-Greenberg contends, operations involving drones are, in fact, less likely to evolve into broader, more intense conflicts than similar operations involving traditionally crewed assets. Even as drones increase the frequency of conflict, the decreased costs of their operations reduce the likelihood of conflict escalation. Leveraging diverse types of evidence from original wargames, survey experiments, and cases of US and Israeli drone operations, Lin-Greenberg explores how drone operations lower risks of escalation. First, they enable states to gather more or better intelligence that may avert or reduce the chances of high-stakes conflict. Second, drone attacks are less likely to affront a target state's honor and therefore less likely to provoke aggressive responses. Lastly, leaders are less likely to take escalatory actions when drones are attacked than they are with incidents involving inhabited assets. Lin-Greenberg's findings prove conclusively that drones are far less destabilizing than commonly argued. Drones add rungs to the proverbial "escalation ladder" and, in doing so, have brought about a fundamental change—a revolution—in the character of statecraft. With the use of unmanned technologies set to grow in the coming years, The Remote Revolution is a critical examination of their possibilities and politics. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Adam Louis Klein explains why anti-Zionism is not simply criticism of Israel, but a modern ideological movement shaping campus activism, academia, and contemporary antisemitism.We explore how anti-Jewish hatred has evolved across history—from medieval anti-Judaism, to 19th-century racial antisemitism, to today's anti-Zionism as a full-scale social and moral ideology. Adam argues that many debates within the Jewish community are fundamentally misframed, and that treating anti-Zionism as “just criticism of Israel” obscures its real function: stigmatization, moral inversion, and social coercion.This episode examines:Why the question “Is anti-Zionism antisemitism?” misses the pointAnti-Zionism as an ideology with its own genealogy, language, and tacticsHow Holocaust inversion, apartheid rhetoric, and settler-colonial frameworks function as modern libelsWhy traditional Jewish advocacy strategies fail against anti-Zionist movementsThe role of academia, post-colonial theory, and activist scholarship in mainstreaming these narrativesWhy anti-Zionism cannot be debated like a good-faith political position—and how to respond insteadThe psychological and sociological pressures leading some Jews to internalize anti-Zionist claimsHow Palestinian suffering is often exploited rather than alleviated by anti-Zionist ideologyRather than defending Israel point-by-point, this conversation makes the case for turning the lens outward—analyzing anti-Zionism itself as a historical, ideological, and moral phenomenon.This episode is essential listening for anyone grappling with campus activism, media narratives, Jewish identity, or the future of Jewish advocacy in the West.Timestamps / Chapters00:00 – What anti-Zionism actually is07:30 – Why “Is anti-Zionism antisemitism?” is the wrong question14:00 – Anti-Zionism as ideology, not debate23:40 – Holocaust inversion & modern libels35:00 – Academia, settler-colonial theory, and ideological capture44:30 – Why traditional Jewish advocacy fails55:00 – Internal Jewish conflict & moral confusion#israel #palestine #rabbi #jewishidentity #jewishthought

In The Remote Revolution: Drones and Modern Statecraft (Cornell UP, 2025), Erik Lin-Greenberg shows that drones are rewriting the rules of international security, but not in ways one would expect. Emerging technologies like drones are often believed to increase the likelihood of crises and war. By lowering the potential risks and human costs of military operations, they encourage decision-makers to deploy military force. Yet, as Lin-Greenberg contends, operations involving drones are, in fact, less likely to evolve into broader, more intense conflicts than similar operations involving traditionally crewed assets. Even as drones increase the frequency of conflict, the decreased costs of their operations reduce the likelihood of conflict escalation. Leveraging diverse types of evidence from original wargames, survey experiments, and cases of US and Israeli drone operations, Lin-Greenberg explores how drone operations lower risks of escalation. First, they enable states to gather more or better intelligence that may avert or reduce the chances of high-stakes conflict. Second, drone attacks are less likely to affront a target state's honor and therefore less likely to provoke aggressive responses. Lastly, leaders are less likely to take escalatory actions when drones are attacked than they are with incidents involving inhabited assets. Lin-Greenberg's findings prove conclusively that drones are far less destabilizing than commonly argued. Drones add rungs to the proverbial "escalation ladder" and, in doing so, have brought about a fundamental change—a revolution—in the character of statecraft. With the use of unmanned technologies set to grow in the coming years, The Remote Revolution is a critical examination of their possibilities and politics. Learn more about your ad choices.

It is not about dominance, charisma, or external power. At its core, it is about internal authority, emotional containment, and the ability to create order without force. When this aspect is healthy, a man becomes steady, principled, and trustworthy. When it is underdeveloped or wounded, chaos follows—internally first, then externally. Many men between 35 and 55 find themselves facing a quiet but persistent erosion of authority. Not authority over others, but authority over their own energy, emotions, direction, and decisions. Life may look successful on the surface, yet something feels disordered underneath. This is often not a motivation problem or a discipline issue. It is a mature masculinity issue. This aspect governs vision, boundaries, blessing, and stewardship. Without it, other aspects lose coherence. Strength becomes aggression. Intelligence becomes manipulation. Sensitivity becomes indulgence. The work of conscious masculinity begins by restoring this. Understanding this Concept as an Identity Structure This is not a personality trait. It is an identity structure that shapes how a man relates to himself, his emotions, his responsibilities, and the world around him. A mature individual does not chase validation or prove worth. He defines standards and lives by them. At its highest expression, the king archetype provides: Internal order that calms the nervous system Emotional containment without suppression Clear boundaries rooted in values The ability to bless rather than dominate Long-term vision rather than reactive urgency When this archetype is absent or distorted, men often compensate with overwork, control, avoidance, or perpetual striving. These behaviors look productive but are internally unstable. The king archetype does not push harder. It stabilizes first. The Developmental Path of the King Archetype The king archetype does not arrive fully formed. It develops through stages, each with its own risks and lessons. Understanding this spectrum helps men recognize where they are stuck and what must be integrated. The Boy King: Power Without Containment The Boy King represents uninitiated authority. This is power without emotional maturity, vision without wisdom, and ambition without grounding. The Boy King may appear confident, driven, and decisive, but his authority is brittle. Common patterns of the Boy King include: Needing approval to feel legitimate Overreacting to perceived disrespect Making decisions based on ego rather than values Seeking status instead of stewardship The Boy King does not lack intelligence or drive. He lacks containment. Without guidance and inner structure, his rule becomes unstable. Many men unknowingly operate from this stage well into midlife, wondering why their efforts never produce lasting peace. The Wounded King: Tyrant and Abdicator When the Boy King is challenged by life and lacks the internal resources to integrate those challenges, the king archetype fractures. This produces the Wounded King, which tends to manifest in two primary forms. The Tyrant King rules through control. He tightens boundaries into walls, mistakes fear for authority, and uses force to manage internal insecurity. Emotionally, he is reactive and rigid. Relationally, he creates compliance but not trust. The Abdicated King retreats. He avoids responsibility, numbs discomfort, and disengages from leadership altogether. Decisions are delayed. Boundaries dissolve. Chaos fills the vacuum where authority once belonged. Both expressions are rooted in the same wound: the inability to self-regulate and self-authorize. The king archetype is present, but distorted by unresolved fear and fatigue. The Integrated King: Calm Authority and Inner Order The Integrated King is not loud. He does not dominate rooms or demand attention. His presence organizes the environment naturally. Others feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded around him. This stage of the king archetype is defined by: Emotional regulation without repression Clear boundaries that protect energy and values Decisiveness without urgency The ability to bless growth in others A long-term view rooted in legacy rather than ego The Integrated King does not need to prove authority because it is embodied. His power comes from alignment, not performance. Why the King Archetype Must Come First In conscious masculine development, this aspect precedes all others. Without it, the Warrior burns out, the Magician manipulates, and the Lover loses direction. It provides the internal throne from which the other energies can operate cleanly. Men often attempt to fix their lives by adding tools, habits, or discipline. These strategies fail when there is no internal authority governing their use. The king archetype is the structure that ensures effort serves purpose rather than exhaustion. When a man integrates the king archetype, his nervous system settles. Decision-making simplifies. Emotional reactivity decreases. Life feels governed rather than chaotic. The King Archetype and the Conscious Warrior Path Within the Conscious Warrior framework, the king archetype represents alignment. It is the internal axis that brings physical discipline, mental clarity, emotional regulation, and spiritual meaning into coherence. A conscious king does not escape discomfort. He contains it. He does not suppress emotion. He governs it. He does not outsource authority to circumstances, people, or outcomes. He leads himself first. This is the difference between coping and ruling. The King Archetype and the Nervous System At a biological level, this aspect expresses itself through regulation. A regulated nervous system is the physiological foundation of calm authority. When a man is internally regulated, his presence naturally stabilizes others. When he is dysregulated, authority collapses into control, withdrawal, or chaos. Many expressions of the wounded king archetype are not moral failures but nervous system failures. Chronic stress, unresolved emotional load, and constant reactivity push men into survival states. From there, the Tyrant King emerges through fight responses, while the Abdicated King emerges through freeze or collapse. Neither state allows access to mature authority. The Integrated King operates from regulation. Breath slows. Perspective widens. Decisions are made without urgency. Emotional energy is contained rather than leaked. This is why true authority feels calm rather than forceful. The nervous system sets the tone before any words are spoken. Restoring the king archetype therefore requires practices that support regulation: pauses instead of pressure, containment instead of discharge, and recovery instead of constant output. Authority begins in the body before it ever reaches behavior. The King Archetype in Relationships and Family Systems In relationships and family systems, the king archetype functions as a stabilizing presence. This does not mean emotional distance or dominance. It means emotional safety. When the king archetype is integrated, others feel held rather than managed. A wounded king archetype often creates instability at home. The Tyrant King produces tension through control and rigidity. The Abdicated King produces insecurity through absence and inconsistency. In both cases, emotional safety erodes because authority is either overwhelming or missing. The Integrated King brings coherence. Boundaries are clear without being harsh. Decisions are made without emotional volatility. Conflict is addressed without escalation. Over time, trust builds because the environment feels predictable and grounded. For men in midlife, relational strain is often a signal that this aspect needs attention. Repairing authority at home does not start with communication techniques. It starts with restoring internal order so presence becomes trustworthy again. The King Archetype and Legacy Thinking This aspect is oriented toward legacy rather than immediacy. Where wounded expressions chase control or comfort, the Integrated version thinks in timelines. Decisions are evaluated not only for short-term relief but for long-term consequence. Legacy thinking shifts behavior. Time is treated as sacred. Energy is stewarded rather than spent. Priorities align with values instead of urgency. This is why the king archetype often awakens during midlife. The question quietly emerges: what am I building, and what will remain? A man aligned with the king archetype lives as if his actions matter beyond the moment. This does not require fame or recognition. It requires integrity. The Integrated King understands that legacy is not what is left behind, but what is lived consistently. When legacy becomes the lens, chaos loses its grip. Life organizes itself around meaning rather than momentum. Within the Conscious Warrior framework, the king archetype represents alignment. It is the internal axis that brings physical discipline, mental clarity, emotional regulation, and spiritual meaning into coherence. A conscious king does not escape discomfort. He contains it. He does not suppress emotion. He governs it. He does not outsource authority to circumstances, people, or outcomes. He leads himself first. This is the difference between coping and ruling. Common Signs the King Archetype Is Underdeveloped Men rarely identify this issue directly. Instead, it shows up through patterns such as: Chronic mental fatigue despite competence Difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries Over-identification with productivity Emotional withdrawal or volatility A sense of being busy but misaligned These are not failures of willpower. They are signals that this aspect needs attention and integration. Reclaiming the King Archetype Reclaiming this aspect is not about adopting dominance or authority over others. It is about restoring internal order. This work requires reflection, containment practices, and identity-level recalibration. Men who step into the Integrated King experience a shift from effort to embodiment. They stop managing chaos and begin governing their lives. This is not a quick fix. It is a developmental return to rightful authority. Frequently Asked Questions About the King Archetype What is the king archetype in men? The king archetype is the psychological pattern responsible for internal authority, order, and stewardship. It governs emotional containment, decision-making, boundaries, and long-term vision. When healthy, it creates calm leadership; when wounded, it produces control or disengagement. This archetype is foundational to mature masculinity and conscious self-leadership. How do I know if my king archetype is wounded? A wounded king archetype often shows up as chronic fatigue, emotional reactivity, boundary issues, or a sense of internal chaos despite external success. Men may swing between overcontrol and avoidance. These patterns indicate that authority is being forced or abandoned rather than embodied. Can the king archetype be developed later in life? Yes. The king archetype is developmental, not age-dependent. Many men do not integrate it until midlife challenges force reflection. With intentional inner work, emotional regulation, and identity restructuring, the king archetype can be stabilized and embodied at any stage. How does coaching help with integrating the king archetype? Coaching provides structured containment and perspective that mirrors the king archetype itself. Through coaching, men learn to self-regulate, clarify values, set boundaries, and reclaim internal authority. Rather than giving advice, effective coaching helps men restore their own capacity to govern their lives consciously. Why is the king archetype important for modern men? Modern life fragments authority through constant demands, distractions, and external pressures. The king archetype restores internal order, allowing men to respond rather than react. It creates stability in relationships, clarity in purpose, and resilience under pressure, making it essential for conscious masculine development. Final Reflection The king archetype is not about ruling others. It is about ruling oneself with clarity, steadiness, and integrity. When this archetype is integrated, life stops feeling reactive and starts feeling governed. Understanding the King Archetype is essential to navigate the complexities of modern masculinity and to develop a healthy sense of self-leadership. If you are ready to restore internal authority and step into conscious leadership, begin with the foundation. The path forward starts with the King Archetype.

▶️ Connect with Richard on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardatherton-firsthuman/   Is modern education preparing us for the world we're actually living in? Or is it accelerating our collapse? In this episode of Being Human, I'm joined by Jim Garrison, founder of Ubiquity University, to explore why today's education system may be failing humanity at the deepest level.   Jim argues that Western education prioritises left-brain development: memorisation, analysis and knowledge acquisition, while neglecting ethics, inner growth, and wisdom. Drawing on philosophy, systems thinking, and decades of institutional leadership, he explains how this imbalance fuels ecological destruction, political instability, and moral drift. We explore what a new educational paradigm could look like. It includes somatic, creative, and experiential learning, along with the development of our rationality. Ultimately, it focuses on pursuing the good, the beautiful and the true.    We discuss: Why memorisation replaces wisdom Education's role in global crises The loss of ethics and values What transformative learning requires Jim is a brilliant orator and true pioneer of a new educational paradigm.

Narrative wargaming is often framed as a niche revival or a reaction against competitive play. Rick Priestley rejects that outright. Narrative play is not a rebellion. It is the foundation modern wargames were built on.Before points values and mirrored tables, games were shaped by scenario and judgment. Sieges were unfair. Last stands were desperate. Balance was not calculated. It was agreed.Early British designers such as Featherstone, Grant, and Young did not rely on points systems. They assumed good faith, shared imagination, and players who wanted the game to be interesting rather than optimal.So what changed?When Balance Became an IdeologyPoints values began as a convenience. They helped players build collections and find games quickly. Over time, that convenience hardened into expectation.Modern balance culture assumes that a properly designed game should resolve to a near-perfect 50/50 outcome between equally skilled players. The result is list optimisation, meta-chasing, and games whose outcome is often decided before the first dice roll.Priestley does not condemn this approach. He simply questions what it produces. Efficiency, perhaps. Predictability, certainly. But not always joy.The Games Master We LostOne of the clearest casualties of this shift is the Games Master.In the episode, Jason describes running vast multiplayer games overseen by a GM who introduces events, resolves disputes, and keeps the story moving. Priestley immediately recognises the model. This was early Warhammer. Early roleplaying games. Early wargaming.The GM was never a workaround. They were the engine.Attempts to replace that role with campaign books and flowcharts were understandable, but limited. You cannot automate trust or improvisation. A referee works because everyone agrees they are there to make the game better.As Priestley puts it, the only rule is that the Games Master is always right. Not because they wield authority, but because the group has given them responsibility.Rules as ToolsAnother striking thread in the conversation is how casually the group ignores rules.Forgotten mechanics are handwaved. Unclear outcomes are resolved with a roll and a decision. Priestley admits that even with systems he helped write, momentum matters more than correctness.This is not carelessness. It is confidence.Narrative players are not anti-rules. They simply refuse to let rules dominate the experience. Systems are scaffolding. If something blocks the flow of the game, it is removed.In a hobby obsessed with precision and FAQs, this mindset feels quietly subversive.Not a Rejection, a ReminderPriestley is not calling for the end of competitive play. He is arguing for memory.Narrative gaming never died. It was crowded out of the conversation. What groups like Jason's are doing is not inventing something new. They are remembering how the hobby once worked and choosing to make space for it again.The most radical idea in modern wargaming is not breaking the rules.It is remembering they were never the point.

Are you the tech helper in your family? In your office? Community IT intern Jack Woodard on lessons learned over years of helping less-tech-savvy people learn the technology they need to do what they need and want to do.Takeaways on How to Be a Tech HelperBe patientPeople who are having trouble with tech get very frustrated, and they also get very down on themselves for not being able to understand it. They aren't setting out to be annoying or hard to deal with, but they can get very defensive or just have a lot of trouble following what you are asking them to do, especially if they have difficulty seeing or hearing. People having trouble with tech have a lot of anxiety around doing the wrong thing – especially with all the scams out there. But they also want to be participating – they don't want to miss out. So taking all that into account when you interact with any staff member or family member is good practice to help meet them where they are. Be a teacher, not a doerIf the less-tech-savvy person in your life is struggling to use tech, doing it for them will reinforce that they are not capable. Instead, do a lot of listening. Identify the real problem (it may not be what they think is the issue.) Then walk the person through how to do it by asking them to do it while you stand by ready to help. Describe what they need to click on. Don't use a lot of jargon. Have the person take notes, especially if they don't use this particular app or do this particular thing every day. The next time they need to do it, they can refer back to their written instructions.If they are upset by updates that change things, consider teaching them to use keyboard shortcuts where available, because these change less frequently.Help them get organized and put the apps and tools they use most frequently where they can find them quickly at a glance. Organizing is deeply personal – so don't impose your way of doing things on them. As a tech helper, follow their lead! Walk through each step with them. Most people will continue to do something “the way they learned how” indefinitely. Use that to your advantage if you want them to do it a new way. Make sure they have learned the steps and they will probably be able to repeat them time after time. Don't forget accessibility features. Many people who struggle with tech may be hard of hearing or have difficulty seeing. Modern tech has lots of features to help, like strong contrast, screen readers, and hearing aids that can be connected to other devices directly.Microsoft Accessibility KnowledgebaseGoogle Workspace Accessibility for Users (can also find the Accessibility Guide for Administrators)Mac Guide to Accessibility Community IT seeks to provide trusted advice and guidelines for nonprofit tech helpers around the holidays and throughout the year. If you have questions on staying safe with technology, especially in the age of AI, it is better to ask someone than struggle alone. _______________________________Start a conversation :) Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/ email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.com on LinkedIn Thanks for listening.

Modern life often feels like a constant juggling act. We rush from one activity to the next, collapse into bed exhausted, and wake up only to do it all again.No wonder so many families feel disconnected — even when they're doing:All. The. Right. Things…School drop-offs. Work. Homework. Dinner. Laundry. Practices. Bedtime. Repeat.From the outside it can look like a life that's “working”… and yet on the inside, something can still feel missing...Like the togetherness gets lost in the logistics.So in this week's episode, I share one of the most meaningful practices we've brought into our family life: creating a family creed.Not as a rigid set of rules.Not as something to moralize or lecture our children with. But as a living set of shared values — values we try to embody, reinforce, and return to in everyday moments and decisions.In the episode, I walk you through seven core values that shape how we live together as a family.How we respond when someone makes a mistake.How we meet grumpiness and overwhelm.How we relate to learning and growth.How we approach problems.How we voice complaints without harming each other.How we repair quickly when someone's feelings are hurt.And how we keep kindness at the center — even in hard moments.What surprised me most is this: we didn't just create these values… over time, they began shaping us.They started influencing our tone, our choices, our priorities, and the emotional “air” in our home.If you've been craving more purpose, belonging, meaning, or connection in your family — or if you're simply tired of surviving from one busy week to the next — this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect.You'll also find a gentle, practical guidance for how you might begin creating your own family values or creed in a way that feels authentic and sustainable — not overwhelming.And if this episode offers you even a small moment of clarity — a sentence that lingers, a value that resonates, or a desire to start a conversation at your own kitchen table — it has done its job.You don't have to create anything perfectly or all at once. These things grow slowly, through shared moments, honest conversations, and the values you choose to live — not just talk about.Wherever you and your family are right now, it's a good place to begin.Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

Three banks in four days isn't just a bragging right for penetration testers. It's a wake-up call showing that expensive security tools and alarm systems often fail when tested by skilled operators who understand both human behavior and technical vulnerabilities. Greg Hatcher and John Stigerwalt, co-founders of White Knight Labs, talk about their latest physical penetration tests on financial institutions, manufacturing facilities protecting COVID-19 vaccine production, and why their new Server 2025 course had to rewrite most common Active Directory tools. They share stories of armed guards, police gun draws, poison ivy reconnaissance, and a bag of chips that saved them from serious trouble. The conversation reveals why EDR alone won't stop ransomware, how offline backups remain the exception rather than the rule, and what security controls actually work when attackers bring custom tooling.

Controlling chaos through disciplined systems is what Tim and Steve discuss: Chaos is the universe's default; order must be intentionally created You can't control everything — focus on the controllables Disciplined systems help you respond, not react, to chaos Rituals and routines create structure and stability Modern life (news, social media) feeds chaos and distraction Remove temptations and distractions proactively Discipline = choosing order over chaos, consistently Systems make the right choices easier over time You can't eliminate chaos — but you can manage it with structure and intention

In this engaging conversation, Sabine Kvenberg interviews Sereda Fowlkes, a holistic health expert, who shares her journey from being an insurance agent to focusing on women's health. They discuss the importance of nutrient absorption, dietary changes, and the impact of modern farming on food quality. Sereda emphasizes the need for supplementation due to mineral deficiencies in our diets and shares valuable life lessons about personal growth and decision-making. The conversation concludes with insights on empowering women through health and wellness, particularly during menopause. LInks: Sereda:  https://healthyjourneyforwellness.com/ Vibrant Voices: https://www.sabinekvenberg.com/Vibrant-Voices Lifewave X39: https://liveyounger.com/healthyandwealthy   Takeaways Sereda transitioned from insurance to health due to personal health challenges. Nutrient absorption is crucial for effective health management. Modern farming practices affect the nutritional quality of food. Mineral deficiencies are common due to soil depletion. Supplementation is often necessary for optimal health. Personal growth involves learning from past decisions. Business partnerships require careful consideration and alignment. Women can empower each other through shared health experiences. Menopause can be a time of strength and wisdom for women. Healthy living is achievable through informed dietary choices.    

Is Christianity a New Religion? | Christ For YouText: Luke 2:36–38 | Midweek Advent 3Did Christians make Christmas up? Is it only a New Testament idea? Did the Church turn Jesus into a legend and force the Old Testament to fit Him? Is Christianity a new religion? Modern skepticism says the Incarnation is a later invention. Scripture says something very different.In this sermon, you learn of Anna. Forgotten by history, overlooked in the Nativity, yet standing right in the center of God's plan. Anna waited for redemption her entire life—not because she imagined it, but because Scripture promised it. She didn't twist the Bible to fit Jesus. She recognized Jesus because the Bible had prepared her for Him.Anna's witness dismantles the myth that Christmas was constructed by Christians. Before creeds, councils, or theologians ever existed, she saw God in the flesh and told everyone who would listen. Christmas wasn't invented. It was fulfilled.Learn how the Incarnation anchors your faith in reality, how fulfilled prophecy gives you confidence in every promise of God, and how the Christ Anna met is the same Christ who meets you now, in flesh and blood, for your salvation.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact:PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

Modern self-care often adds more pressure, more rules, and more to-do's, leaving the nervous system even more dysregulated than before.In my recent stage talk for the International Hyperbarics Association, I shared why healing doesn't come from doing more, chasing protocols, or perfect routines. It begins with nervous system regulation, connection, and learning how to shift out of chronic fight-or-flight and back into safety, presence, and intuition — using simple, realistic tools that actually fit into daily life.What You'll Learn:Why chronic stress, digital overload, and constant stimulation keep the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flightHow nervous system dysregulation shows up as anxiety, burnout, brain fog, hormonal imbalance, and emotional overwhelmThe difference between living in beta brainwaves versus accessing alpha and theta for healing and clarityWhy self-care needs a rebrand — and why traditional self-care often misses the nervous system entirelyWhat “regulation reps” are and how short, consistent moments of regulation rewire the nervous systemHow micro moments of connection improve mood, focus, resilience, and emotional regulationWhy play, joy, and oxytocin are powerful tools for hormone balance and nervous system healthHow to move from living in your head back into your heart — without adding more to your plateResources:Preorder my new book ‘The Connection Code': https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/the-connection-code My Red Light faves, with special codes and discounts: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/red-light-guide Be Inspired Mama Journal: https://amzn.to/4afbs3s Want a free and meaningful way to support the show?

Ad Free Dopey:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastIn this crucial emergency episode, Dave is joined by longtime friend and recovery legend Bob Forrest to process the shock, grief, and fallout surrounding the Nick Reiner tragedy and the public backlash aimed at Dopey.Bob speaks from decades of experience in addiction treatment, psychiatry-adjacent crisis work, and firsthand encounters with drug-induced psychosis, violence, and untreated mental illness. He explains why modern drugs—especially meth and stimulants—are producing homicidal and suicidal behavior, and why families often have no remaining safety net when things spiral.They discuss:Why parents can love their children and still need boundaries, charges, or interventionHow decriminalization + lack of psychiatric resources leaves families helplessWhy people project their own trauma and rage onto public figures and podcastsThe danger of separating “mental health” from active addictionCelebrity kids, resentment, identity, and why some survive while others don'tWhy Dopey is being scapegoated—and why that logic doesn't hold upThe conversation moves through music, recovery, punk rock, famous addiction stories, Christmas memories, suicidal ideation, parenting, and connection, ultimately landing on Bob's central belief: connection, love, truth, and honesty are what keep people alive.The episode ends with Bob defending Dopey's right to tell the whole truth about addiction—ugly, funny, painful, and real—and offering a blunt but heartfelt holiday message to Dopey Nation.
