A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1942

Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 1942

Rare Earths, Global Conflicts, and Reimagining Democracy. Gregory Copley analyzes China's rare earth monopoly, noting it was achieved through low pricing and unsafe practices but is now eroding as global suppliers ramp up production. He reviews current global conflicts, viewing the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford battle group near Venezuela as a test of brinkmanship, and citing Kyiv's admission of losses in Ukraine. Copley also argues that democracy is "dead," advocating for a return to defining the spirit of a social contract rather than relying on mutable laws. 1862 PLATO SYMPOSIUM VIA MUNICH

Episode OverviewWhat does it really mean to design a game — and what can that teach us about culture, creativity, and even our daily lives? In this episode, Greg is joined by Eric Zimmerman, legendary game designer, professor at NYU's Game Center, and author of The Rules We Break. Eric's career spans from pioneering web-based multiplayer with Sissy Fight 2000 to co-founding GameLab and shaping Diner Dash, one of the most influential time-management games ever made.We dig into the fundamentals of game design, the ethics of addictive mechanics, the surprising history of Monopoly, and why prototyping isn't just for developers — it's a mindset for anyone building systems or communities.Joining us for this conversation is Lewis Ward, long-time industry analyst, who helps unpack Eric's insights with both sharp questions and nostalgia for 90s game culture.What You'll Learn in This Episode Iteration as a Superpower – Why prototyping is the start of design, not the end. Feedback Everywhere – How observing body language and engagement rhythms tells you more than analytics. Sissy Fight 2000 & Early Multiplayer – The “flame wars” era and lessons for today's online communities. Diner Dash's Secret – How a “casual” game ended up brutally difficult — and why that mattered. Loops Within Loops – What makes Balatro so compelling, and how game design patterns keep players hooked. Ethics & Addiction – Dark design patterns, dopamine hits, and the responsibility of game creators. The Rules We Break – How Eric uses hands-on exercises to teach design as a 21st-century literacy. The Real Monopoly Story – Why one of the world's most iconic games is often misunderstood.Resources & Links Eric Zimmerman's book: The Rules We Break Classic text: Rules of Play (Zimmerman & Salen) NYU Game Center: gamecenter.nyu.edu Follow Player Driven for more conversations: playerdriven.ioEpisode Chapters00:00 – Intro & Eric's background03:30 – Teaching game design & iteration13:30 – Sissy Fight 2000 & the flame war era21:00 – Diner Dash and the rise of “casual” games26:30 – Feedback loops, dopamine, and ethics42:00 – The Rules We Break: learning design through play50:30 – Monopoly, culture, and closing reflectionsCall to ActionEnjoyed this episode?

Send us a textApple pie mac and cheese. You made a face, didn't you? We did too—and that knee-jerk reaction became our door into a bigger, funnier, and surprisingly useful conversation about comfort, boundaries, and what our ick tells us about how we live.We start with fall's realignment: darker evenings, earlier bedtimes, and the happy ritual for one Nora of swapping sundresses for sweaters. There's joy in textures and layers, but also a strategy—keep what you'll actually wear, let go of what won't make the cut. From there, comfort food goes off the rails with dessert-flavored mac, and we unpack why that combo feels wrong even as curiosity tempts a taste. A palate cleanser follows: Monopoly turns 90, the British Mint celebrates with a charming 50 pence coin, and we geek out on how nostalgia and play can bring people together without feeling corny.Then we dive into the science of disgust versus dislike—how cockroaches, sweaty sports bags, hair in restaurant food, loud chewing, and public-bathroom sock runs trigger ancient alarms about contamination. We trade practical rules for modern life: never put a suitcase on a hotel bed, crack the car windows after sneezes, wear shower shoes at the gym, and tame laundry chaos with a behind-the-pillow pajama system.We close with highs and lows that ground the season: holiday photos locked in early, a personal “sweater draft,” and the reality that dark evenings can fog your brain unless you plan around them. Across laughs and light shudders, one theme sticks—fall is when we curate. We choose what feels warm, what feels safe, and what deserves a place in our day.If this mix of cozy and candid made you nod, laugh, or gag just a little, tap follow, share it with a friend who has strong opinions about pickles, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.

Todo lo conseguido desaparece, se va por el sumidero, nada está bien, todos están mal. El Madrid es como Sísifo, condenado a subir eternamente una piedra a la cima de una montaña y, cada vez que lo conseguía, la piedra bajaba rodando hasta la base para tener que recomenzar otra vez.

Land isn't just dirt under buildings—it's the world's oldest, strangest asset, worth an estimated $180T, quietly steering credit cycles, politics, and who gets to build the future. Economist editor and Money Talks host Mike Bird joins us to decode the “land trap”: why superstar cities underbuild, how mortgages turned banks into land-collateral machines, and what Japan's 1980s super-bubble can (and can't) teach us about China's managed deflation today. We trace ownership from Babylonian stone ledgers to modern cadastres, ask whether America ever ran a de facto “land standard,” and explore pragmatic exits: build where demand is, deepen capital markets so homes aren't the only savings vehicle, and tax land value uplift to fund infrastructure. ---

In the second installment of this episode, the FBI starts to close in and put the pieces of the puzzle together before doling out justice to the masterminds of the McDonald's Monopoly scam that lasted from 1989-2001.

In 2001, an anonymous tipster called a local Florida FBI office alledging that the popular McDonald's Monopoly promotion had been rigged. The tip was taken with a grain of salt until a brilliant but sometimess overzealous young FBI agent started digging. What he discovered would shock Ronald McDonald out of his red shoes.

Making a Grade: Victorian Examinations and the Rise of Standardized Testing (U Toronto Press, 2025) takes historiographic and sociological perspectives developed to understand large-scale scientific and technical systems and uses them to highlight the standardization that went into "standardized testing." Starting in the 1850s achievement tests became standardized in the British Isles, and were administered on an industrial scale. By the end of the century more than two million people had written mass exams, particularly in science, technology, and mathematics. Some candidates responded to this standardization by cramming or cheating; others embraced the hope that such tests rewarded not only knowledge but also merit. Written with humour, Making a Grade looks at how standardized testing practices quietly appeared, and then spread worldwide. This book situates mass exams, marks, and credentials in an emerging paper-based meritocracy, arguing that such exams often first appeared as "cameras" to neutrally record achievement, and then became "engines" to change education as people tailored their behaviour to fit these tests. Taking the perspectives of both examiners and examinees, Making a Grade claims that our own culture's desire for accountability through objective testing has a long history. James Elwick is Associate Professor at the Department of Science, Technology and Society, for which he is also Chair. He has written on the history of the life sciences and scientists including John Tyndall, Herbert Spencer, and T.H. Huxley, and is currently writing a history of academic integrity, viewed through the lens of students who cheat on their tests and other school assessments. Jacob Ward is a historian at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. He has written in the history of science and technology, environmental history, business and financial history, and political history. He recently published Visions of a Digital Nation: Market and Monopoly in British Telecommunications (MIT Press, 2024) and he's currently working on a history of futurology in the United Kingdom and Europe from 1945 to the present day.
