Rudyard and Andrew react to the intensifying Canada-U.S. trade war. Trump is threatening additional tariffs starting January 1, and it's increasingly clear he was intent on escalating regardless of whether or not Carney walked away from the deal. Carney is putting his Davos message into action: middle powers need to free themselves from the grip of hegemons. It was the right call, with broad agreement in Canada that we cannot allow Trump to bully us into submission. There will be costs, but the cost of staying at the table may have been greater.Should Canada pursue retaliatory tariffs? Will other countries being targeted by Trump follow Canada's lead? And finally, can Canada use the upcoming U.S. midterms to pressure Trump into a better deal?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Rudyard and Andrew unpack leaks from ongoing U.S.-Canada trade talks, which are focused only on the immediate threat of 50% tariffs on Canadian goods rather than negotiating a long-term deal. Even if Canada averts some of these tariffs, CUSMA negotiations lie ahead—and the leaks suggest we may not get full tariff relief on the issues that matter most, including steel, autos, software and lumber, while facing additional concessions on dairy supply management and digital policy.How are these concessions consistent with Carney's “elbows up” message? Andrew argues that trying to appease Trump risks feeding his appetite for further concessions. This isn't a negotiation; it's extortion. If the Trump administration continues to approach trade this way, Canada needs to mitigate this ongoing threat by becoming a more competitive market and diversifying trade.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Prekop Ákos több mint 30 éve él a zongorák világában. Koncertzongoratechnikusként olyan világsztárok hangszerein dolgozott, mint Lady Gaga, Guns N' Roses, Madonna, Bryan Adams, Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, Lang Lang és Yuja Wang. De ez csak az egyik oldala. Ákos történetében ugyanis egy egészen különös világ találkozik: a Steinway koncertzongorák precizitása, a Ferencváros lelátóinak kemény világa, a teqball, hét Ironman, maratonok és egy családi történet, amely teljesen megváltoztatta az élethez való hozzáállását.
August 19 is fast approaching, and despite efforts to reach a deal, there is a real possibility that negotiations could collapse altogether. Do Canadian concessions actually reduce threats from Trump, or simply invite more demands? And if Trump agrees to a deal, will he renege later and demand more? Andrew argues that “ragging the puck”—stretching negotiations out as long as possible—may be Canada's best strategy. The discussion also turns to Canada's dairy subsidy and protection system: does protecting domestic dairy producers actually serve Canadian farmers, when it leaves Canadian consumers paying up to twice as much for dairy products?In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to the continuing standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. How long can the crisis last? The United States appears trapped in a conflict it cannot easily walk away from. Iran is now the side issuing demands, while making a mockery of Trump's threats and exposing the limits of American power. The damage isn't just military—it has undermined the credibility of U.S. threats and security guarantees to its allies, which may prove even more consequential.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

The Mountains, the Catskills, the Borscht Belt, upstate, the country. Monticello, Liberty, Woodridge, Swan Lake, Woodbourne, Fallsburg. A place of many names with one thing in common: a place rich in Jewish history and lore. As a summer destination, the Catskills would be home to countless bungalow colonies as city Jews organized their communities for a mountain air getaway. Generations of children attended the many summer camps that dotted Sullivan County. Camps included Mesivta, Agudah, Munk, HILI, Kol Rinah, Torah Vodaath, Ohr Shraga, Sternberg and many more including the Betar Jewish self defense camp where Vladimir Jabotinsky died in 1940. It was also famously known as the Borscht Belt, and the legendary hotels/resorts/country clubs like Grossinger's, Kutscher's and the Concord made their mark as vacation sites. Most Jewish comedians of the time commenced their careers there. In addition to the summer crowd, the Catskills were home to many year round Jewish communities over the years. These towns built shuls, mikvas, hired Rabbis and even Jewish owned farms burgeoned for a time. This included Yeshivas as well such as the Mountaindale Yeshiva of Rav Yehuda Davis and the famous Yeshiva of South Fallsburg.

What is the point of negotiating with Donald Trump when experience suggests that agreements may not be binding, concessions may not be reciprocal, and terms may not be honoured? Reports now suggest the Canadian government is preparing to make significant concessions, including allowing more American dairy into the Canadian market. But in this climate, and with this president, any Canadian concession should come with a concession of equal value from Washington. So what exactly is Ottawa's strategy? Are its conflicting signals a deliberate effort at strategic ambiguity—or evidence that the government itself is divided? And how might Trump's negotiating posture change if Republicans lose the U.S. midterms in November and he becomes a lame-duck president?In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to the emerging Oman-Iran agreement over control of the Strait of Hormuz, asking whether it signals a retreat from freedom of navigation and another step in the decline of American power abroad. They argue that Trump fundamentally misunderstood the Iranian regime he was confronting and the retaliatory tools at its disposal. The result, they contend, is more than a strategic defeat: it is a humiliation for the United States.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Subscribe at No Permission Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/033nNxrnG1SI4HRqq1RUeL)********"People crave intimacy in the sense of companionship and friendship rather than romance."Carter Munk, founder and CEO of Pinned Social is on a mission to solve loneliness. This is his story as a 3x founder, never asking for permission to build.How many 3x, sub-30 year old founders do you know? Introducing Carter Munk who founded Moe's Coffee in the US – an Australian coffee brand now in 50+ locations across Canada — while still in school. Later co-founding Circa, a dating app that raised nearly $2 million, before leaving to build Pinned, a new kind of social app designed to solve the loneliness problem his generation faces despite even though they are the most digitally connected in history.The thesis behind Pinned: people don't see their friends because they don't know how to coordinate, not because they don't want to. He walks through how he validated the idea by interviewing 250 people, self-funded the early days, launched to a 12,000-person waitlist, and hit 5,000. He also gets real about outsourcing mistakes at Circa, why he has no backup plan, and the advice he'd give anyone thinking about starting something.
Andrew and Rudyard open the show by examining the competing priorities confronting Prime Minister Carney's government. On one hand is the immediate geopolitical imperative: reducing Canada's dependence on a U.S. trading partner that President Trump has shown a willingness to weaponize, making export diversification an urgent national priority. On the other is the growing threat of climate change, underscored by devastating wildfires in Canada and across Europe. Carney appears to have concluded that geopolitical security must come first, pushing climate policy down the agenda. But can he do so without alienating a significant portion of the Liberal coalition, for whom climate action remains a defining issue? In the second half of the show, Andrew and Rudyard turn to new U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's first significant decision: keeping interest rates unchanged for a seventh consecutive month. Markets reacted sharply, with investors selling off 30-year Treasury bonds and pushing yields to a 19-year high. While former Fed Chair Jerome Powell won praise for defending the Fed's independence in the face of pressure from President Trump, Warsh's decision has reinforced critics' fears that he is too closely aligned with the White House. Has the Federal Reserve begun to sacrifice its independence—or is Wall Street overreacting?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Mennyi zsiradék maradhat a húson, mielőtt a hentes elveszíti a munkáját? Köves Slomó rabbi mai előadása a Chulin 93. lapján a gid ha-nasheh (גיד הנשה) körüli anatómiai részleteket bontja ki: nemcsak maga az ín számít, hanem a körülötte futó erek, hártyák és zsiradékok is. A Talmud azt vizsgálja, melyik tilalom tórai és melyik rabbinikus, mikor […] A Chulin 93 – Napi Talmud 2400: Mennyi zsiradék maradhat a húson, mielőtt a hentes elveszíti a munkáját? bejegyzés először NapiTalmud.hu-én jelent meg.
A 92. adás vendége Koleszár Adél fotográfus.Tiszaújvárosban nőtt fel, s bár tehetsége a rajzban hamar nyilvánvalóvá vált, mégis egy másik művészeti ágnál, a fotográfiánál kötött ki. Kapcsolódó tanulmányait a MOME fotó mesterszakán végezte. Élete és pályafutása szempontjából meghatározó volt, hogy 2013-ban egy residency program segítségével Mexikóba költözött, ahol 6 évet töltött el. Ezalatt foglalkozott az emberi erőszak, a konfliktusok és a mexikói vallások témájával is, utóbbi projektjét beválogatták a Magnum pályázatának döntősei közé. Emellett workshopokat is vezetett az amerikai határ közelében található mexikói városokban. 2018-ban hazajött Magyarországra, jelenleg a MOME doktori képzését végzi multimédia-művészet tudományágban.Háromszor nyerte el a Pécsi József fotóművészeti ösztöndíjat, 2018-ban szerepelt a British Journal of Photography „Ones to Watch” válogatásán, jelölték Joop Swart Masterclass-ra, ugyanebben az éven a Capa Nagydíj finalistája, 2019-ben pedig FOAM Paul Huf-díjra jelölték. Munkái emellett számtalan hazai és nemzetközi magazinban jelentek már meg, illetve kiállításra kerültek többek között Berlinben, Mexikóvárosban, New York-ban, Arles-ban, Bécsben és Łódź-ban is. 2024-ben megkapta a Polycopies Publishing Grant támogatását is, és 2025-ben megjelent legújabb könyve, az „Only Have Faith” az Art Paper Editions gondozásában. Az adásban először arról kérdezem, hogy milyen volt Mexikó után újra itthon élni, és ezzel kapcsolatban mesél Siófokról és az anyává válásról is. Ezután megnézzük, milyen úton érkezett meg a fotográfiáig, hogyan alakult a pályafutása és hogyan jutott el végül Mexikóba. Részletesen beszélgetünk ottani élményeiről és projektjeiről, melynek végén legújabb könyvét és az abban bemutatott témát is alaposan kivesézzük. Az adás fináléjában aztán a szokásos ajánló mellett már a jelenre és a jövőre fókuszálunk.Fontos kiegészítés, hogy a fotóprojektjéhez kapcsolódó mexikói élményeiről Adél az Élet meg minden podcast 11. adásában már részletesen mesélt, ezért most első sorban olyan aspektusokra voltam kíváncsi, melyeket abban a beszélgetésben nem érintettek.

Rudyard and Andrew begin by unpacking the latest escalation in the U.S.–Iran conflict. Andrew argues that Trump cannot simply walk away if he wants to prevent Iran from gaining leverage over the global economy—but where does escalation lead? Will striking power plants and bridges bring him any closer to his objectives? They then examine Trump's latest round of tariffs, including a new 50% tariff on Canadian goods announced this week. What does the global economy look like under the twin pressures of tariffs and war with Iran?In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to a startling development in artificial intelligence: reports that an OpenAI model circumvented its constraints and sabotaged another AI system during testing—without its engineers' knowledge. They argue that this is far more alarming than fears of job displacement, suggesting it reveals that AI companies may no longer fully understand or control their own creations. As AI capabilities accelerate at a breathtaking pace, they ask whether we're approaching a point where the consequences become impossible to predict—or contain.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Rudyard and Andrew unpack President Trump's speech last night, in which he cast doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections and alleged foreign interference ahead of the midterms. Will this strategy backfire by depressing Republican turnout? And how far might Trump go in attempting to shape the outcome in November?In the second half of the show (for paid subscribers), Rudyard and Andrew are joined by special guest Sean Speer to reflect on the state of conservatism in Canada. Andrew argues that too many Conservatives have substituted outrage and attitude for serious policy ideas—a symptom of a movement that has lost confidence in its purpose. He also delivers a blunt message to those who have grown pessimistic about the Conservative cause. What kind of leader does the party need to restore energy, direction, and confidence to its base?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

What should we make of this week's NATO summit in Ankara? If it doesn't end with the U.S. withdrawing from NATO, should it be considered a success?Meanwhile, the U.S. and Iran resumed strikes just weeks after signing a memorandum of understanding. Andrew argues that Trump was warned about the risks of cutting a deal with Iran. The ceasefire is unraveling because there was never a real agreement—it merely bought a few weeks of respite. Iran now holds the upper hand, and there is no easy way out of this dilemma.In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to Canadian politics, specifically Alberta's announcement of a new pipeline and Meta's investment in a major data centre in the province. Why is Alberta capitalizing on this moment while Central Canada is falling behind? As Ontario and Quebec face a manufacturing exodus to the United States, what extraordinary measures are needed to make Canada a more attractive destination for investment? And does Ottawa have a serious plan to address the challenges facing the country's manufacturing sector?

What would America's Founding Fathers make of the state of U.S. politics as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence? The constitutional rules they established to guide the republic and safeguard it against monarchical or dictatorial rule are being tested by President Trump, whose conduct has exposed potential weaknesses in the system. Andrew argues that America's checks and balances ultimately depend on everyone—from all three branches of government, and especially the commander-in-chief—respecting both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. Twenty-five years from now, will America still be the democratic republic we know today?In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew examine the Canadian government's announcement that it will build a new, government-funded 1,000-kilometre oil pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia. The decision to press ahead despite the environmental concerns that have long plagued similar projects underscores just how politically important this pipeline has become—for both Western Canada and Ottawa. Should Canadians be concerned that it will be built by a federal Crown corporation? And how can the government hope to keep costs under control when the proposed route appears so technically complex?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Iranians appear to be enjoying maximum leverage over the Trump administration. The argument goes that Trump had to act as he did to avoid severe risks to the global economy—an outcome that raises questions about the limits of his “master dealmaker” image.Why is JD Vance positioning himself as the deal's chief cheerleader, exposing himself to sustained political scrutiny? And how are figures like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin likely interpreting these developments? For some, it may signal a setback for American credibility and global leadership.In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to domestic politics. As the House of Commons prepares to break for the summer, they assess the Prime Minister's performance over his first 14 months in office.

Janice and Rudyard unpack the latest details of the emerging memorandum of understanding between Iran and Israel, examining its proposed $300 billion financing package and the sweeping rollback of sanctions on Iran's oil and financial sectors. They question the agreement's lack of concrete timelines and verification mechanisms—particularly around nuclear inspections—and argue that looming energy pressures helped drive both sides to the negotiating table. The deal, just 14 points long, is light on details and leaves much open to interpretation, most notably regarding the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. How is it being received by Iran's hardliners? And will the perception in the U.S. that it represents a major capitulation by Trump affect how the GOP fares in November's midterm elections?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Recent economic data suggests Canada is in a technical recession. Andrew argues that while political parties continue to sell the fiction that governments can deliver short-term economic growth, economists largely agree that growth is driven by deeper, longer-term forces. The bigger problem is that neither party has a serious plan to boost productivity and investment. High taxes, burdensome regulation, and growing market concentration are holding the economy back. And while many Canadians blame immigration for our economic malaise, the real issue isn't too many workers—it's too little capital. Are we expecting too much from this government, or is it simply avoiding the hard reforms Canada needs most?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

2 - Sikeres lett a férfi, aki leselejtezett kampányplakátokon vigasztalja a munkába sietőket - felhívtuk őt by Balázsék
CannCon and Ashe in America open Wednesday with a primary night that delivered. Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn by 25 points despite being outspent 9 to 1, and Ashe frames it as the clearest proof yet that voter intent is real even inside a broken system. Al Green is unseated in Houston by a younger challenger, another product of the redistricting wave. Tina Peters is days away from walking out, and Ashe explains why the real story of Tina Peters is not the machines she copied but the material witness testimony she holds about the weaponization of government as treason. CannCon and Ashe debate the fake versus fraudulent election question with genuine intellectual honesty, discuss the sting operation theory for 2026, and compare the Paxton outcome to what happened to Massey. The DNC releases a post-2024 autopsy assessment, and PBS runs a segment where a Democratic strategist admits the party is being financially obliterated, with 12 million protest attendees apparently unable to find $5 to give the DNC. Ashe connects it directly to the dark money apparatus being cut off. The Colorado governor debate frames the real choice of the midterms: the system is sound versus the system must be transformed. CannCon and Ashe close with the post-partisan America argument and the Munk debate populism clip.

As the Strait of Hormuz grinds to a halt, gas prices soar, and inflation threatens to spike, Trump arrives at his meeting with Xi Jinping looking wounded and weak. He will be looking for help from China’s dictator, but help never comes for free. What will he concede to Xi? In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Janice turn to a major new government appointment in Canada: Louise Arbour as our new Governor General. Andrew argues that despite widespread criticism, she is highly qualified for the position, with a long record of achievement and a deep understanding of the country’s history. Serious jobs require serious people with real experience. Rudyard, however, is concerned that Ottawa keeps recycling and reappointing Boomers to important government positions, and argues it is high time for a generational transition and the passing of the baton to the next generation.

The U.S. edges back toward war with Iran just as food and gas prices are poised to surge. Could there be a role for China to play in getting Iran and the U.S. back to the negotiating table? Meanwhile Ukraine is quickly becoming a formidable military power due to battlefield resolve and technological innovation. Is it time for Ukraine to be admitted to NATO? Andrew argues that here the gains are bigger than the risks. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to Mark Carney's meeting in Armenia with European leaders to discuss security concerns and partnerships. Big changes are afoot in Europe which is hedging against U.S. instability by pursuing trade deals with other countries. Canada needs to follow their lead and look for other trade partners while not angering our most important trade ally, the United States. Is moving closer to Europe the answer?

Mark Carney has proposed a “Canada Strong Fund” which will launch with a C$25 billion endowment focused on domestic infrastructure, part of a broader effort to reduce Canada’s reliance on the United States after tariffs have strained the economy. Canadians would also be able to invest their own savings in the fund. But with productivity declining for decades, it’s unclear how this initiative meaningfully addresses the country’s deeper growth challenges. At a moment of real urgency, the question remains whether this represents a serious step toward fixing Canada’s underlying economic problems.
Rudyard and Janice open the show with news of the Spring 2026 Munk mainstage debate: Be it resolved, don't go hunting monsters. A timely debate on competing interventionist and restraint-based approaches to foreign policy now contending for dominance in the halls of power. Rudyard and Janice move on to the Iran war and the shaky ceasefire that Trump has extended despite Iran's attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. With the Strait now closed, this has become an economic war and an endurance test: which country can withstand the pain longer? This is the single largest energy shock the modern world has ever seen that will bring about significant inflation. How will inflation further radicalize populist movements and destabilize governments around the globe? In the back half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to upcoming trade talks between Canada and the US. PM Carney is warning Canadians that there is a bumpy road ahead and concessions will need to be made that will likely yield a scaled down agreement with a narrower scope. Rudyard suggests that despite Trump's animosity towards our country, Canadians would be wise to accept that our economic interest lies in a better trade relationship with the U.S. over diversification overseas. Carney should consider delaying any concessions until the midterms and restart negotiations in November with a politically weakened president.

Thanks to recent floor crossings and last night's by-election, the Liberal Party now has a majority government and a 15 point favourability lead that has unnerved and divided the Conservatives. Should MPs be able to cross the floor at their will? Andrew argues that public officials crossing over from the opposition to the governing body should seek permission from their constituents. What is the fate and future of the NDP and Conservatives in this new political environment? Meanwhile the Liberals now have time to rebuild the party and Mark Carney, with the confidence of the country, has the latitude to decide what direction he wants to go in. Will the PM use this new majority and political capital to finally address Canada's major crises - productivity, overregulation, lack of competition - that past leaders chose to ignore?
2026 tavaszára világossá vált, hogy a hazai zöldpolitika parlamenti képviselete megbukott. Ebben az adásban az elmúlt közel húsz évről beszélgetünk: arról, hogyan jutottunk el az LMP alapításától odáig, hogy 2026-ra a zöld pártok lényegében eltűnnek az országos politikából. Ez valóban egy korszak végét jelenti-e, vagy akár egy új szakasz kezdete is lehet? Szó esik a választási rendszer szerepéről, a rossz politikai alkukról, a zöldmozgalom állapotáról, valamint arról is, hogy ma kik és milyen formában tudják továbbvinni a zöld ügyeket Magyarországon. Őry Ádám humánökológussal, újságíróval, a Zöld Fordulat kommunikációs munkatársával és a Karátson Gábor Kör tagjával személyesen is tudtunk találkozni, ő a stúdióban volt velünk. Másik vendégünket, Jávor Benedek biológust, Budapest Főváros brüsszeli képviseletének vezetőjét és korábbi európai parlamenti zöld képviselőt távolról kapcsoltuk be a beszélgetésbe. Mi vezetett a magyar zöld pártpolitika visszaszorulásához? Milyen tanulságai vannak ennek az elmúlt két évtizednek? Van-e esély újrakezdésre? Tartsatok velünk!
Can the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran hold? In the span of twenty-four hours Trump went from threatening to end their civilization to considering a joint venture to toll the Strait of Hormuz. America's inability to open the strait without a ceasefire is a confession of weakness, one that China will take advantage of. This war is a strategic defeat for the U.S., and Andrew believes we may look back at this affair as the beginning of the end for Pax Americana. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to domestic Canadian politics where longtime conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crossed the floor to the Liberals, bringing Mark Carney one seat closer to a majority government. Gladu is widely considered one of the most right-leaning of conservative MPs. How wide can this Liberal tent stretch before it collapses? And should voters have a say in whether their MPs leave the parties under which they were elected?

Support & Resources→ Support the show on Patreon→ Bayesian Modeling Course (first 2 lessons free): Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran). Check out his awesome workTakeaways:Q: Why is bridging deep learning and probabilistic programming so important?A: Deep learning is extraordinarily good at fitting complex functions, but it throws away uncertainty. Probabilistic programming keeps uncertainty explicit throughout. Combining the two – as in inference compilation – lets you get the expressiveness of neural networks while still doing proper Bayesian inference.Q: What is inference compilation and how does it relate to amortized inference?A: Amortized inference is the general idea of training a model upfront so you don't have to run expensive inference from scratch every single time. Inference compilation is a specific form of amortized inference where a neural network is trained to propose good posterior samples for a given probabilistic program – essentially learning to do inference rather than computing it fresh each query.Q: What is PyProb and what problems does it solve?A: PyProb is a probabilistic programming library designed specifically to support amortized inference workflows. It lets you write probabilistic models in Python and then train inference networks on top of them, making methods like inference compilation practical for real-world simulators and scientific models.Q: What are probabilistic surrogate networks and why do they matter?A: A probabilistic surrogate network is a learned approximation of a complex, expensive simulator that preserves uncertainty. Instead of running a costly simulation thousands of times, you train a surrogate that can answer probabilistic queries much faster – crucial for applications like risk modeling where speed and uncertainty quantification both matter.Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction to Bayesian Inference and Its Barriers00:03:51 Andreas Munch's Journey into Statistics00:10:09 Bridging the Gap: Bayesian Inference in Real-World Applications00:15:56 Deep Learning Meets Probabilistic Programming00:22:05 Understanding Inference Compilation and Amortized Inference00:28:14 Exploring PyProb: A Tool for Amortized Inference00:33:55 Probabilistic Surrogate Networks and Their Applications00:38:10 Building Surrogate Models for Probabilistic Programming00:45:44 The Challenge of Bayesian Inference in Enterprises00:52:57 Communicating Uncertainty to Stakeholders01:01:09 Democratizing Bayesian Inference with Evara01:06:27 Insurance Pricing and Latent Variables01:16:41 Modeling Uncertainty in Predictions01:20:29 Dynamic Inference and Decision-Making01:23:17 Updating Models with Actual Data01:26:11 The Future of Bayesian Sampling in Excel01:31:54 Navigating Business Challenges and Growth01:36:40 Exploring Language Models and Their Applications01:38:35 The Quest for Better Inference Algorithms01:41:01 Dinner with Great Minds: A Thought ExperimentThank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!
Rudyard and Andrew reflect on Trump's mixed messaging about the war with Iran. Troop deployment to the region would suggest he is escalating this conflict which could throw the world economy into a recession. What happens when Trump leaves office? Does America snap back to normalcy or does another Trump-like leader take his place? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to the NDP and their newly elected leader, Avi Lewis. Lewis's election signals the federal NDP has become a party that values identity politics over the working class and is uninterested in pragmatism or trying to reach power by gradual steps. Could Avi Lewis surprise us all and energize young people like Zohran Mamdani has done in New York City? And if so, what is the galvanizing issue on the left?

The Trump administration finds itself in a trap. They can't declare victory and go home unless the Iranians agree to conclude this war, and the Iranians at this point have no incentive to strike a deal. Trump and the American public don't have the stomach for a long war, and thus Iran can win by not losing. How should Canada respond to Trump's provocations? Andrew believes there is a madman in the White House who wants to impose his will on us in various ways. The government in Ottawa needs to be planning for the various ways we will be facing highly unconventional tactics from this U.S. government. And if things really break down after the midterms, and America descends further down the path to dictatorship, there will be knockoff effects to neighbouring countries that Canada would be wise to prepare for.
Rudyard and Andrew try to make sense of Trump's decision to start a war with Iran so contrary to the premise that created the MAGA movement and opposition to America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. How did we end up at this point? And how will this war affect the upcoming midterm elections? Andrew thinks Trump persuaded himself that strike would be easy - just like Venezuela - and thus he has no clear strategy. What is the long term goal here? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to Canada's response to this unfolding conflict, specifically Carney signalling support of the US offensive. What is the calculation going on in the background? How are his goals domestically for bolstering trade informing his foreign policy? And finally, what role should Canada have - if any - in this region-altering conflict?

Rasmus Munk is the chef and co-owner of Alchemist in Copenhagen, Denmark — a restaurant that has redefined what a dining experience can be. Ranked among the world's best restaurants, Alchemist serves a 50-course "holistic dining" experience across five hours, where every dish is designed to provoke thought, spark conversation, and challenge the boundaries between food, art, and social commentary.You'll hear about his philosophy of leading with concept over ingredient and why that sets Alchemist apart from every other restaurant in the world, his work beyond the kitchen, and the simple childhood memory of picking strawberries with his grandmother that quietly shaped one of the most complex culinary minds on the planet.Resources and links:Rasmus on InstagramAlchemist on InstagramAlchemist websiteConnect:Future Fork podcast websitePaul Newnham on InstagramPaul Newnham on XPaul Newnham on LinkedInDisruptive Consulting Solutions websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub on XSDG2 Advocacy Hub on FacebookSDG2 Advocacy Hub on LinkedIn

This is not just about a bridge, it's a commentary on the decline in US-Canada relations. Trump's bizarre Truth Social post also tries to delegitimize Canada as a vassal state of China and a threat to the United States. Trump is trying to destabilize Canada and all signs suggest he will attempt to use the leverage of CUSMA to impose all kinds of conditions on us as we enter into new trade negotiations. Andrew believes he is overstating his leverage and destroying the American trade position such that every traditional US trade partner is looking elsewhere to make deals. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to Canadian domestic politics and rumours that Mark Carney will call a spring election to shore up a majority government. Why would the Liberals want an election sooner than later? And can Carney get his majority without forcing Canadians to head to the polls?

Is this the first time the U.S. President has had to respond to a public outcry and recalibrate his position? Andrew believes that the point of these ICE exercises has nothing to do with immigration reform. They are looking to provoke fear, anger, and terror in the population. Ultimately the responsibility rests with Trump: this is his policy, these are his people. In the back half of the show Rudyard and Andrew break down some of the big domestic developments from last week, specifically Mark Carney's Davos speech. Carney recognizes that Canada is at the centre of a geopolitical crisis. And while this has given him a boost in his personal approval ratings, he hasn't been able to convert that into support for the Liberal Party. Does Carney's Davos speech give us insight into how he will approach CUSMA negotiations? Andrew believes we should not invest too heavily in the success of these talks, and it's time to develop policies to reduce the cost of walking away from trade with the U.S.

President Trump refuses to rule out invading Greenland following revelations that his aggression towards the self-governing territory is a response to being denied the Nobel Peace Prize by Norway. We are now facing the very real possibility that the US will attack a NATO ally, putting everyone in a unique and untenable situation. Should the EU send troops to Greenland? As both a NATO member and a US neighbour Canada is faced with a serious dilemma. Andrew argues that we have to be an ally, and that means drawing a land in the snow and showing up for Greenland. It is now clear that NATO is hanging by a thread. What will be its successor? And what should we make of Trump's new 'Board of Peace' which critics believe is his attempt to undermine the United Nations?

Rudyard and Andrew react to the U.S. Justice Department's criminal investigation into Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell alleging he lied to congress about renovation construction costs. This administration is using trumped up charges and the instruments of the state to go after people they can't otherwise control. What makes Jerome Powell a more formidable opponent to Trump compared to others who have tried to stand up to the U.S. President in the past? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to Iran and the regime's brutal response to countrywide protests. What should we think of Trump's musings about intervening in this conflict? It has become fashionable to oppose any type of regime change following America's forever wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but if the West does not intervene, what will be the cost of human life in Iran and the region?
