Podcasts about nations

The 2025 Motocross of Nations did not disappoint! Team USA put on an incredible performance with their backup lineup, and we finally got to see the Coenen brothers' raw speed go head-to-head against the Americans. There were standout rides across the board — Jo Shimoda repped Team Japan beautifully, while Tim Gajser and Team Slovenia scored their best-ever MXON finish! Team France crushed it once again with another podium, and the Lawrence brothers alongside Kyle Webster led Team Australia to back-to-back MXON victories! In this chapter of the podcast, we break down all the chaos — the crashes, track conditions, new rivalries, and the biggest storylines from the weekend. Tune in and join the debate

Nicholas Wade is a former science writer for The New York Times and author of several books on human evolution, including A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race, and Human History and his new book, The Origin of Politics: How Evolution and Ideology Shape the Fate of Nations. Today, I invite Wade on to discuss some of the toughest topics in modern science: the controversial territory of race and genetics, and whether there are fundamental genetic differences between right-wingers and left-wingers. We also dig into the fertility crisis. Birth rates across the developed world have collapsed below replacement level, and no country except religious Georgia has figured out how to reverse the trend. Wade explains why modern economic progress makes having children less appealing, and why the breakdown of the family matters. Finally, we talk about how the modern nation-state stamped out tribalism, why the academic establishment refuses to engage honestly with genetics research, what evolutionary psychology tells us about foreign policy, and much more. Whether you find Wade's evolutionary framework persuasive or not, I hope our conversation raises questions that most political leaders and academics prefer to ignore.

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. What a glorious time of year it is! With the 2025 Motocross of Nations in the history books, last weekend marked the first genuine off-season weekend for the motocross industry. Except for teams and racers contesting the Arenacross or WSX World Championship Series, most who were involved in the 31 racers that made up the Supercross, Motocross, and SMX Playoff series should have really soaked up last weekend. Ours started off with the Celebration of Life for our friend and partner Doni Wilson, who we lost on August 11 to a battle with ALS. It was an amazing event and it was a nice way to close the chapter on our time of mourning the loss of DW. There's that, and a whole lot more in this week's podcast!

Back from Fall Break, we gathered outside at the SUB Bowl to continue our Missions: Neighbors & Nations series. This week, Myles Olenski brought a sweeping message tracing God's global heart from Genesis to Revelation. Teaching from Genesis 12:1–3, Matthew 28:18–20, and Revelation 7:9–17, Myles walked us through three key movements in Scripture: – Covenant (Genesis 12): God's promise to bless the nations through Abraham – Commission (Matthew 28): Jesus sending us to make disciples of all nations – Culmination (Revelation 7): the final vision of every tribe, tongue, and nation worshiping before the throne His message called us to see missions not as a moment, but as a movement we're invited into—from our neighborhoods to the nations. Speaker: Myles Olenski Series: Missions: Neighbors & Nations Message Title: God's Heart for the Nations Passages: Genesis 12:1–3, Matthew 28:18–20, Revelation 7:9–17

Treasures, Trials, and Apostolic Readiness: D&C 111–114 | D. Todd Harrison: Jesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and GenerationsIn this video, D. Todd Harrison explores Doctrine and Covenants sections 111 through 114—four brief but deeply instructive revelations given to the Prophet Joseph Smith during a time of financial strain, leadership testing, and spiritual preparation.Section 111 reveals the Lord's gentle correction as Joseph seeks temporal treasure in Salem, only to be reminded that the Lord's treasures are often hidden in people and places we least expect.Section 112 is a powerful charge to Thomas B. Marsh, President of the Quorum of the Twelve, calling him to humility, repentance, and renewed leadership.Section 113 offers inspired interpretation of Isaiah's prophecies, linking ancient promises to the Restoration.Section 114 foreshadows the death of David W. Patten and the Lord's pattern of preparing successors before vacancies even occur.Together, these sections teach us about divine timing, spiritual priorities, and the Lord's unwavering hand in preparing His servants—then and now.D.

Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they've been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World “captive,” but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the “Magnets” and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China's. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I wonder if that timing was coincidental? Dependent on what China says about the hostile “order” that they have just put out, I will be forced, as President of the United States of America, to financially counter their move. For every Element that they have been able to monopolize, we have two. I never thought it would come to this but perhaps, as with all things, the time has come. Ultimately, though potentially painful, it will be a very good thing, in the end, for the U.S.A. One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter!DONALD J. TRUMP,

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – As the world holds its breath to see if the latest peace proposal brokered by President Donald Trump between the state of Israel and the terror group Hamas that controls the Gaza Strip will hold and yield real peace, the concept of trust is imperative. Can Hamas be trusted? What have they done in the past when given a chance at peace?

Just as Bible sales in the U.S. grew in 2024 with more people looking for sources of hope and strength in these challenging times, individuals throughout Eastern Europe and the surrounding regions – especially those impacted by the war in Ukraine – have similarly turned to faith as the only sure foundation in an unsteady world. EEM shares reports of growing church attendance and an openness to Bible education in public schools alongside stories of lives changed as hearts are exposed to God's Word, often for the very first time in their own language.“We are humbled to be a part of the amazing work that God is doing, as we celebrate every day the fact that His Word will accomplish its purposes,” said EEM VP Dirk Smith. “Just imagine, if each Bible given means a new believer welcomed into the Kingdom – which is always our prayer and aim – what joy these numbers bring to our hearts!” Dirk Smith Vice President Dirk Smith joined Eastern European Mission following his highly successful tenure as a development officer with his alma mater, Harding University. An accomplished manager, he earned experience in business development with an eye for revenue building through positions with firms like Jackson & Coker in Dallas, Texas, and T. Williams Consulting serving clients in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. He has a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and an MBA with a focus on Organizational Development and Ethics. At EEM, Dirk oversees fundraising and marketing efforts as well as assists with U.S. operations.

God's heart has always been for the nations. From Abraham's promise to Isaiah's vision of a house of prayer for all peoples to John's glimpse of a multitude before the throne, Scripture reveals a global mission. But like Israel, the church today can lose the plot when we forget who the Gospel is for. Join us for part 2 of Bridges, where we see that love crosses borders—racial, cultural, and personal. Jesus calls us to become a bridge to the nations—starting right here in our city.

UN Women's complaints about the manosphere include typical mischaracterizations, and a familiar plan of attack. Tonight we're going to do a bit more looking into another of the sources from their recent report, “What is the manosphere and why should we care?” We may also get to UN women's follow-up article on “how to counter the manosphere.” Eventually. :)

As of October 8th, 2025, the U.S. government is shut down. Lawmakers in Washington are deadlocked over federal spending — House Republicans pushing for deeper cuts and stronger border security, while Democrats are pushing back, warning that essential services and federal paychecks could be delayed if an agreement isn't reached soon. It's another reminder of how divided and fragile things can feel politically in our country. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, this week marks two years since the October 7th attacks- when Hamas terrorists murdered around 1,200 people in Israel and took over 250 hostages. Since then, Israel's war in Gaza has devastated the region- with tens of thousands killed, millions displaced, and deep global tension about how peace can ever return to that part of the world. So in this episode, we're talking about the instability of our times — in politics, in war, in culture — and how Jesus' words in Mark 13 remind us that none of this takes God by surprise. Nations will rise and fall, wars will come and go, but His kingdom remains unshaken.

Key Takeaways: The money system is shifting: The world is moving from a dollar-based system to one that includes neutral assets like Bitcoin and gold. Central banks are under pressure: Decentralized finance and open systems are challenging their traditional control over creating money. Young innovators are driving change: Many are turning to digital and decentralized currencies, building new financial networks outside the old system. Nations are adjusting in different ways: China is moving away from U.S. dependence and stockpiling key resources, while Europe struggles more with these changes. The U.S. still has an edge: Despite its problems, America's culture of innovation and decentralized system helps it adapt and stay competitive.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 The Shift From Centralized to Decentralized Financial Systems 5:16 The Shift from Central Banks to Bitcoin and Open Systems 11:07 Decentralized Power and Neutral Money in a Multipolar World 13:54 Global Economic Shifts and the Future of Innovation   Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

Episode Summary: Freedom, tolerance, and human dignity only exist in Christian nations. In this episode, we dive into Tory (Conservative) Member of Parliament Danny Kruger's viral speech on England's Christian foundations, exploring the myth of public neutrality and the consequences of abandoning a moral anchor. From parish life and common law to the sanctity of life and public office, we trace how Christian ideas shaped institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong—and why leaving that framework vacant invites new “gods” to take their place.We examine the moral vacuum Kruger identifies: the rise of secular ideologies, the growth of Islam in Britain, and the hybrid “woke” creed mixing pagan revivals, Christian heresies, and modernist power theories. Rather than caricatures, we look at what these forces do to families, schools, and civic trust, and why a politics of grievance cannot sustain a free society. Along the way, we wrestle with difficult issues—late-term abortion, assisted dying, and repentance in public life—while charting a path for Christians to reclaim moral authority in politics and culture.From Alfred to Wesley to Wilberforce, history shows that revival can transform nations when the Church acts as the nation's conscience. This conversation invites listeners to take ownership of the ideas, responsibilities, and institutions we inherit—and consider what it will take to restore freedom, truth, and hope for future generations.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

In this episode of The Christian Wellbeing Show, Michelle and co-host Stuart tackle the controversial question: Is God a nationalist? They delve into the concept of Christian nationalism and discuss God's perspective on nations. The conversation covers the positive and negative interpretations of nationalism, the historical impact of Christianity on nations, and the importance of national identity and pride for individual wellbeing.Get answers to:Are nations divinely instituted and if so, why?Why are global powers trying to remove nations and create open borders?How does a healthy sense of nationalism have a positive effect on wellbeing?They explore biblical references regarding nations, such as the Tower of Babel and God's covenant with Abraham, and more. The hosts discuss globalism and political agendas that pose a threat to national sovereignty and cultural identity. They discuss God's heart for creating great nations that reflect His glory. You'll learn how healthy nationalism and patriotism encourage people to have pride in, celebrate, cherish and honor the good aspects of their own cultures and nations.ABOUT THE HOSTMichelle has been a believer for over 37 years, involved in full-time Christian ministry for 35 years in six countries on three continents, and is a master of transition and cross-cultural expert.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,For most of history, stagnation — not growth — was the rule. To explain why prosperity so often stalls, economist Carl Benedikt Frey offers a sweeping tour through a millennium of innovation and upheaval, showing how societies either harness — or are undone by — waves of technological change. His message is sobering: an AI revolution is no guarantee of a new age of progress.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I talk with Frey about why societies midjudge their trajectory and what it takes to reignite lasting growth.Frey is a professor of AI and Work at the Oxford Internet Institute and a fellow of Mansfield College, University of Oxford. He is the director of the Future of Work Programme and Oxford Martin Citi Fellow at the Oxford Martin School.He is the author of several books, including the brand new one, How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation, and the Fate of Nations.In This Episode* The end of progress? (1:28)* A history of Chinese innovation (8:26)* Global competitive intensity (11:41)* Competitive problems in the US (15:50)* Lagging European progress (22:19)* AI & labor (25:46)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. The end of progress? (1:28). . . once you exploit a technology, the processes that aid that run into diminishing returns, you have a lot of incumbents, you have some vested interests around established technologies, and you need something new to revive growth.Pethokoukis: Since 2020, we've seen the emergence of generative AI, mRNA vaccines, reusable rockets that have returned America to space, we're seeing this ongoing nuclear renaissance including advanced technologies, maybe even fusion, geothermal, the expansion of solar — there seems to be a lot cooking. Is worrying about the end of progress a bit too preemptive?Frey: Well in a way, it's always a bit too preemptive to worry about the future: You don't know what's going to come. But let me put it this way: If you had told me back in 1995 — and if I was a little bit older then — that computers and the internet would lead to a decade streak of productivity growth and then peter out, I would probably have thought you nuts because it's hard to think about anything that is more consequential. Computers have essentially given people the world's store of knowledge basically in their pockets. The internet has enabled us to connect inventors and scientists around the world. There are few tools that aided the research process more. There should hardly be any technology that has done more to boost scientific discovery, and yet we don't see it.We don't see it in the aggregate productivity statistics, so that petered out after a decade. Research productivity is in decline. Measures of breakthrough innovation is in decline. So it's always good to be optimistic, I guess, and I agree with you that, when you say AI and when you read about many of the things that are happening now, it's very, very exciting, but I remain somewhat skeptical that we are actually going to see that leading to a huge revival of economic growth.I would just be surprised if we don't see any upsurge at all, to be clear, but we do have global productivity stagnation right now. It's not just Europe, it's not just Britain. The US is not doing too well either over the past two decades or so. China's productivity is probably in the negative territory or stagnant, by more optimistic measures, and so we're having a growth problem.If tech progress were inevitable, why have predictions from the '90s, and certainly earlier decades like the '50s and '60s, about transformative breakthroughs and really fast economic growth by now, consistently failed to materialize? How does your thesis account for why those visions of rapid growth and progress have fallen short?I'm not sure if my thesis explains why those expectations didn't materialize, but I'm hopeful that I do provide some framework for thinking about why we've often seen historically rapid growth spurts followed by stagnation and even decline. The story I'm telling is not rocket science, exactly. It's basically built on the simple intuitions that once you exploit a technology, the processes that aid that run into diminishing returns, you have a lot of incumbents, you have some vested interests around established technologies, and you need something new to revive growth.So for example, the Soviet Union actually did reasonably well in terms of economic growth. A lot of it, or most of it, was centered on heavy industry, I should say. So people didn't necessarily see the benefits in their pockets, but the economy grew rapidly for about four decades or so, then growth petered out, and eventually it collapsed. So for exploiting mass-production technologies, the Soviet system worked reasonably well. Soviet bureaucrats could hold factory managers accountable by benchmarking performance across factories.But that became much harder when something new was needed because when something is new, what's the benchmark? How do you benchmark against that? And more broadly, when something is new, you need to explore, and you need to explore often different technological trajectories. So in the Soviet system, if you were an aircraft engineer and you wanted to develop your prototype, you could go to the red arm and ask for funding. If they turned you down, you maybe had two or three other options. If they turned you down, your idea would die with you.Conversely, in the US back in '99, Bessemer Venture declined to invest in Google, which seemed like a bad idea with the benefit of hindsight, but it also illustrates that Google was no safe bet at the time. Yahoo and Alta Vista we're dominating search. You need somebody to invest in order to know if something is going to catch on, and in a more decentralized system, you can have more people taking different bets and you can explore more technological trajectories. That is one of the reasons why the US ended up leading the computer revolutions to which Soviet contributions were basically none.Going back to your question, why didn't those dreams materialize? I think we've made it harder to explore. Part of the reason is protective regulation. Part of the reason is lobbying by incumbents. Part of the reason is, I think, a revolving door between institutions like the US patent office and incumbents where we see in the data that examiners tend to grant large firms some patents that are of low quality and then get lucrative jobs at those places. That's creating barriers to entry. That's not good for new startups and inventors entering the marketplace. I think that is one of the reasons that we haven't seen some of those dreams materialize.A history of Chinese innovation (8:26)So while Chinese bureaucracy enabled scale, Chinese bureaucracy did not really permit much in terms of decentralized exploration, which European fragmentation aided . . .I wonder if your analysis of pre-industrial China, if there's any lessons you can draw about modern China as far as the way in which bad governance can undermine innovation and progress?Pre-industrial China has a long history. China was the technology leader during the Song and Tang dynasties. It had a meritocratic civil service. It was building infrastructure on scales that were unimaginable in Europe at the time, and yet it didn't have an industrial revolution. So while Chinese bureaucracy enabled scale, Chinese bureaucracy did not really permit much in terms of decentralized exploration, which European fragmentation aided, and because there was lots of social status attached to becoming a bureaucrat and passing the civil service examination, if Galileo was born in China, he would probably become a bureaucrat rather than a scientist, and I think that's part of the reason too.But China mostly did well when the state was strong rather than weak. A strong state was underpinned by intensive political competition, and once China had unified and there were fewer peer competitors, you see that the center begins to fade. They struggle to tax local elites in order to keep the peace. People begin to erect monopolies in their local markets and collide with guilds to protect production and their crafts from competition.So during the Qing dynasty, China begins to decline, whereas we see the opposite happening in Europe. European fragmentation aids exploration and innovation, but it doesn't necessarily aid scaling, and so that is something that Europe needs to come to terms with at a later stage when the industrial revolution starts to take off. And even before that, market integration played an important role in terms of undermining the guilds in Europe, and so part of the reason why the guilds persist longer in China is the distance is so much longer between cities and so the guilds are less exposed to competition. In the end, Europe ends up overtaking China, in large part because vested interests are undercut by governments, but also because of investments in things that spur market integration.Global competitive intensity (11:41)Back in the 2000s, people predicted that China would become more like the United States, now it looks like the United States is becoming more like China.This is a great McKinsey kind of way of looking at the world: The notion that what drives innovation is sort of maximum competitive intensity. You were talking about the competitive intensity in both Europe and in China when it was not so centralized. You were talking about the competitive intensity of a fragmented Europe.Do you think that the current level of competitive intensity between the United States and China —and I really wish I could add Europe in there. Plenty of white papers, I know, have been written about Europe's competitive state and its in innovativeness, and I hope those white papers are helpful and someone reads them, but it seems to be that the real competition is between United States and China.Do you not think that that competitive intensity will sort of keep those countries progressing despite any of the barriers that might pop up and that you've already mentioned a little bit? Isn't that a more powerful tailwind than any of the headwinds that you've mentioned?It could be, I think, if people learn the right lessons from history, at least that's a key argument of the book. Right now, what I'm seeing is the United States moving more towards protectionist with protective tariffs. Right now, what I see is a move towards, we could even say crony capitalism with tariff exemptions that some larger firms that are better-connected to the president are able to navigate, but certainly not challengers. You're seeing the United States embracing things like golden shares in Intel, and perhaps even extending that to a range of companies. Back in the 2000s, people predicted that China would become more like the United States, now it looks like the United States is becoming more like China.And China today is having similar problems and on, I would argue, an even greater scale. Growth used to be the key objective in China, and so for local governments, provincial governments competing on such targets, it was fairly easy to benchmark and measure and hold provincial governors accountable, and they would be promoted inside the Communist Party based on meeting growth targets. Now, we have prioritized common prosperity, more national security-oriented concerns.And so in China, most progress has been driven by private firms and foreign-invested firms. State-owned enterprise has generally been a drag on innovation and productivity. What you're seeing, though, as China is shifting more towards political objectives, it's harder to mobilize private enterprise, where the yard sticks are market share and profitability, for political goals. That means that China is increasingly relying more again on state-owned enterprises, which, again, have been a drag on innovation.So, in principle, I agree with you that historically you did see Russian defeat to Napoleon leading to this Stein-Hardenberg Reforms, and the abolishment of Gilded restrictions, and a more competitive marketplace for both goods and ideas. You saw that Russian losses in the Crimean War led to the of abolition of serfdom, and so there are many times in history where defeat, in particular, led to striking reforms, but right now, the competition itself doesn't seem to lead to the kinds of reforms I would've hoped to see in response.Competitive problems in the US (15:50)I think what antitrust does is, at the very least, it provides a tool that means that businesses are thinking twice before engaging in anti-competitive behavior.I certainly wrote enough pieces and talked to enough people over the past decade who have been worried about competition in the United States, and the story went something like this: that you had these big tech companies — Google, and Meta, Facebook and Microsoft — that these were companies were what they would call “forever companies,” that they had such dominance in their core businesses, and they were throwing off so much cash that these were unbeatable companies, and this was going to be bad for America. People who made that argument just could not imagine how any other companies could threaten their dominance. And yet, at the time, I pointed out that it seemed to me that these companies were constantly in fear that they were one technological advance from being in trouble.And then lo and behold, that's exactly what happened. And while in AI, certainly, Google's super important, and Meta Facebook are super important, so are OpenAI, and so is Anthropic, and there are other companies.So the point here, after my little soliloquy, is can we overstate these problems, at least in the United States, when it seems like it is still possible to create a new technology that breaks the apparent stranglehold of these incumbents? Google search does not look quite as solid a business as it did in 2022.Can we overstate the competitive problems of the United States, or is what you're saying more forward-looking, that perhaps we overstated the competitive problems in the past, but now, due to these tariffs, and executives having to travel to the White House and give the president gifts, that that creates a stage for the kind of competitive problems that we should really worry about?I'm very happy to support the notion that technological changes can lead to unpredictable outcomes that incumbents may struggle to predict and respond to. Even if they predict it, they struggle to act upon it because doing so often undermines the existing business model.So if you take Google, where the transformer was actually conceived, the seven people behind it, I think, have since left the company. One of the reasons that they probably didn't launch anything like ChatGPT was probably for the fear of cannibalizing search. So I think the most important mechanisms for dislodging incumbents are dramatic shifts in technology.None of the legacy media companies ended up leading social media. None of the legacy retailers ended up leading e-commerce. None of the automobile leaders are leading in EVs. None of the bicycle companies, which all went into automobile, so many of them, ended up leading. So there is a pattern there.At the same time, I think you do have to worry that there are anti-competitive practices going on that makes it harder, and that are costly. The revolving door between the USPTO and companies is one example of that. We also have a reasonable amount of evidence on killer acquisitions whereby firms buy up a competitor just to shut it down. Those things are happening. I think you need to have tools that allow you to combat that, and I think more broadly, the United States has a long history of fairly vigorous antitrust policy. I think it'd be a hard pressed to suggest that that has been a tremendous drag on American business or American dynamism. So if you don't think, for example, that American antitrust policy has contributed to innovation and dynamism, at the very least, you can't really say either that it's been a huge drag on it.In Japan, for example, in its postwar history, antitrust was extremely lax. In the United States, it was very vigorous, and it was very vigorous throughout the computer revolution as well, which it wasn't at all in Japan. If you take the lawsuit against IBM, for example, you can debate this. To what extent did it force it to unbundle hardware and software, and would Microsoft been the company it is today without that? I think AT&T, it's both the breakup and it's deregulation, as well, but I think by basically all accounts, that was a good idea, particularly at the time when the National Science Foundation released ARPANET into the world.I think what antitrust does is, at the very least, it provides a tool that means that businesses are thinking twice before engaging in anti-competitive behavior. There's always a risk of antitrust being heavily politicized, and that's always been a bad idea, but at the same time, I think having tools on the books that allows you to check monopolies and steer their investments more towards the innovation rather than anti-competitive practices, I think is, broadly speaking, a good thing. I think in the European Union, you often hear that competition policy is a drag on productivity. I think it's the least of Europe's problem.Lagging European progress (22:19)If you take the postwar period, at least Europe catches up in most key industries, and actually lead in some of them. . . but doesn't do the same in digital. The question in my mind is: Why is that?Let's talk about Europe as we sort of finish up. We don't have to write How Progress Ends, it seems like progress has ended, so maybe we want to think about how progress restarts, and is the problem in Europe, is it institutions or is it the revealed preference of Europeans, that they're getting what they want? That they don't value progress and dynamism, that it is a cultural preference that is manifested in institutions? And if that's the case — you can tell me if that's not the case, I kind of feel like it might be the case — how do you restart progress in Europe since it seems to have already ended?The most puzzling thing to me is not that Europe is less dynamic than the United States — that's not very puzzling at all — but that it hasn't even managed to catch up in digital. If you take the postwar period, at least Europe catches up in most key industries, and actually lead in some of them. So in a way, take automobiles, electrical machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nobody would say that Europe is behind in those industries, or at least not for long. Europe has very robust catchup growth in the post-war period, but doesn't do the same in digital. The question in my mind is: Why is that?I think part of the reason is that the returns to innovation, the returns to scaling in Europe are relatively muted by a fragmented market in services, in particular. The IMF estimates that if you take all trade barriers on services inside the European Union and you add them up, it's something like 110 percent tariffs. Trump Liberation Day tariffs, essentially, imposed within European Union. That means that European firms in digital and in services don't have a harmonized market to scale into, the way the United States and China has. I think that's by far the biggest reason.On top of that, there are well-intentioned regulations like the GDPR that, by any account, has been a drag on innovation, and particularly been harmful for startups, whereas larger firms that find it easier to manage compliance costs have essentially managed to offset those costs by capturing a larger share of the market. I think the AI Act is going in the same direction there, ad so you have more hurdles, you have greater costs of innovating because of those regulatory barriers. And then the return to innovation is more capped by having a smaller, fragmented market.I don't think that culture or European lust for leisure rather than work is the key reason. I think there's some of that, but if you look at the most dynamic places in Europe, it tends to be the Scandinavian countries and, being from Sweden myself, I can tell you that most people you will encounter there are not workaholics.AI & labor (25:46)I think AI at the moment has a real resilience problem. It's very good that things where there's a lot of precedent, it doesn't do very well where precedence is thin.As I finish up, let me ask you: Like a lot of economists who think about technology, you've thought about how AI will affect jobs — given what we've seen in the past few years, would it be your guess that, if we were to look at the labor force participation rates of the United States and other rich countries 10 years from now, that we will look at those employment numbers and think, “Wow, we can really see the impact of AI on those numbers”? Will it be extraordinarily evident, or would it be not as much?Unless there's very significant progress in AI, I don't think so. I think AI at the moment has a real resilience problem. It's very good that things where there's a lot of precedent, it doesn't do very well where precedence is thin. So in most activities where the world is changing, and the world is changing every day, you can't really rely on AI to reliably do work for you.An example of that, most people know of AlphaGo beating the world champion back in 2016. Few people will know that, back in 2023, human amateurs, using standard laptops, exposing the best Go programs to new positions that they would not have encountered in training, actually beat the best Go programs quite easily. So even in a domain where basically the problem is solved, where we already achieved super-human intelligence, you cannot really know how well these tools perform when circumstances change, and I think that that's really a problem. So unless we solve that, I don't think it's going to have an impact that will mean that labor force participation is going to be significantly lower 10 years from now.That said, I do think it's going to have a very significant impact on white collar work, and people's income and sense of status. I think of generative AI, in particular, as a tool that reduces barriers to entry in professional services. I often compare it to what happened with Uber and taxi services. With the arrival of GPS technology, knowing the name of every street in New York City was no longer a particularly valuable skill, and then with a platform matching supply and demand, anybody could essentially get into their car who has a driver's license and top up their incomes on the side. As a result of that, incumbent drivers faced more competition, they took a pay cut of around 10 percent.Obviously, a key difference with professional services is that they're traded. So I think it's very likely that, as generative AI reduces the productivity differential between people in, let's say the US and the Philippines in financial modeling, in paralegal work, in accounting, in a host of professional services, more of those activities will shift abroad, and I think many knowledge workers that had envisioned prosperous careers may feel a sense of loss of status and income as a consequence, and I do think that's quite significant.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Scripture Reflection for October 7, 2025: Why the Rosary Still Changes Nations by Priests for Life

In this episode I sat down with Dylan Bain - father, husband, men's group leader, history buff, and more. We dove into how industrialization created the environment for feminism to later take hold.Listen in to learn about how industry quietly and slowly began dehumanizing society, why women lost meaningful work, the hidden costs of success, how women blamed the wrong people, why America is anti-child, and what it will take to restore balance, sanity, and partnership between the sexes.Such a great conversation with Dylan, enjoy.Timestamps:00:00:00 - 00:00:35 Episode Trailer and Intro00:00:35 - 00:01:40 Dylan Bain Introduction00:01:40 - 00:03:25 Dylan Bain's Background and Mission00:03:25 - 00:05:03 I married someone way above my league00:05:03 - 00:07:25 Industrialism caused feminism00:07:25 - 00:10:22 Why did women, not men, have to do laundry?00:10:22 - 00:12:40 What created the shift to the industrial era and hence, feminism00:12:40 - 00:15:52 Industrialization put women out of a job00:15:52 - 00:17:42 The Declaration of Sentiments and Declaration of Independence read the same 00:17:42 - 00:19:28 Bacon's rebellions and feminists made the same mistake00:19:28 - 00:21:53 Did industrialists know the revolution was dehumanizing?00:21:53 - 00:23:54 How were people in the 1950s okay with being dehumanized00:23:54 - 00:26:27 Do the Wealth of Nations and Communism have a connection?00:26:27 - 00:28:30 The difference between how men and women work00:28:30 - 00:29:57 To be successful, do women need to work like men?00:29:57 - 00:31:35 World war turned men into psychopaths00:31:35 - 00:34:27 What caused the death of women in the Bayview massacre00:34:27 - 00:37:43 In 1945, The USA was the last superpower standing00:37:43 - 00:39:11 Why were women going insane during the industrial revolution00:39:11 - 00:40:00 Gossiping is a defense mechanism?00:40:00 - 00:43:37 How the automotive industry made loneliness worse00:43:37 - 00:44:22 Feminism grew out of jealousy00:44:22 - 00:47:04 Was the birth control pill born of Capitalists' greed?00:47:04 - 00:48:16 Is feminism secretly a way to manipulate women?00:48:16 - 00:49:16 How did we get so obsessed with profits and productivity?00:49:16 - 00:50:33 This is why GDP is so misleading00:50:33 - 00:52:48 United States Military isn't really good at fighting00:52:48 - 00:54:34 This company rolled out 'Freezing Eggs' as benefits for women00:54:34 - 00:56:12 There are not a lot of female role models00:56:12 - 00:57:48 How do we fix things?00:57:48 - 01:00:37 Is leaving home at 18 a scam?01:00:37 - 01:01:54 Kids should be seen and not heard?01:01:54 - 01:04:26 Our education system was designed to create good factory workers01:04:26 - 01:06:43 There's no bad choices, only trade-offs01:06:43 - 01:08:02 Can you handle having kids while studying medicine?01:08:02 - 01:10:16 America is an anti-child society; they hate kids01:10:16 - 01:12:27 Should a neurosurgeon have kids?01:12:27 - 01:13:59 What America's ugly playgrounds says about how they see kids01:13:59 - 01:14:26 Here's why liberal feminists are the most mentally unstable01:14:26 - 01:15:21 Final thoughts and key takeaways01:15:21 - 01:15:59 Outro___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

Il vient de remporter une victoire éclatante. Khaled el-Enany a été élu lundi 6 octobre directeur général de l'Unesco, avec 55 voix sur 57. L'égyptologue, ancien ministre du Tourisme et des Antiquités, devient le premier Arabe et le deuxième Africain à prendre la tête de l'Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture. Après deux années de campagne intense à travers le monde, il succède à la Française Audrey Azoulay, à un moment charnière pour l'Unesco : le retrait annoncé des États-Unis en 2026 fera chuter son budget de près de 11 %. Au soir de son élection, il répond aux questions de RFI. RFI : Khaled el-Enany, vous avez récolté pratiquement toutes les voix sauf deux. Comment réagissez-vous à cette victoire très nette ? Khaled el-Enany : C'est un beau début. C'est une étape très importante. C'est l'aboutissement d'une carrière consacrée entièrement à l'éducation, à l'enseignement universitaire, à la recherche scientifique, à la préservation du patrimoine culturel, à la gestion de grandes institutions, à des valeurs qui croient beaucoup au respect, au dialogue interculturel, au respect mutuel. Le nombre de voix qui m'a été accordé, c'est une énorme responsabilité. Ça veut dire qu'il y a presque un consensus des États membres. Je ne m'attendais pas du tout à un chiffre pareil. Qu'allez-vous faire en premier ? Quelles sont vos priorités ? Les 100 premiers jours, ça va être des réunions individuelles avec chacun des États membres, des réunions collectives par groupes, par thèmes, des rencontres avec les partenaires de l'Unesco, de la famille onusienne, des donateurs, des grandes entreprises, le secteur privé, les représentants de la société civile. Discuter avec la famille Unesco. Je veux vraiment établir beaucoup, beaucoup de synergie. Je viens d'une région qui est un carrefour de cultures. Je suis Egyptien aussi bien qu'arabe, africain, méditerranéen, citoyen du Sud, citoyen du monde. Je veux vraiment servir de pont culturel. Le départ des États-Unis, prévu en 2026, va provoquer une baisse du budget de l'Unesco de 11 %. Comment comptez-vous gérer cette nouvelle situation financière ? Je dois féliciter la direction actuelle d'avoir mobilisé des ressources énormes. C'est l'une des plus grandes croissances dans le système onusien. Presque 490 millions de dollars en 2024. J'ai une expérience dans ce domaine parce que je ne viens pas d'un pays très riche. J'ai géré deux ministères, le tourisme et les antiquités que j'ai fusionnées, et donc j'avais beaucoup travaillé avec le secteur privé, avec les grandes entreprises pour mobiliser des fonds, pour signer des partenaires avec le secteur privé. Donc avec les États membres, je vais continuer ces efforts pour rassurer les anciens donateurs, de continuer à donner davantage même, et attirer de nouveaux gouvernements, les donateurs et le secteur privé. Je crois que le secteur privé c'est aussi une priorité, mais tout en gardant et préservant les valeurs de l'Unesco, qui ne doivent pas être trop commercialisées. Et là, je crois qu'il y a un compromis qu'on pourra atteindre avec la famille Unesco. Comment réagissez-vous aux critiques qu'a pu formuler par exemple Donald Trump qui dit que l'Unesco est trop politisée ? C'est une demande qui m'a été faite par la plupart des États membres. On veut une Unesco moins politisée. Un Unesco qui respecte son mandat, qui est un mandat technique et préparant un consensus et atteindre un consensus. C'est un rôle très important du secrétariat d'être impartial et de ne pas servir un groupe au détriment de l'autre, ni une culture au détriment de l'autre. Je suis le premier égyptien et le premier arabe. Et là, j'ai été très clair que je ne viens pas avec un agenda culturel. J'ai intitulé mon slogan donc ma campagne « l'Unesco pour les peuples ». Je veux Unesco qui a de l'impact sur la vie des gens, l'Unesco qui est connue et reconnue par les gens au-delà du patrimoine culturel. Une des missions principales de l'Unesco et la promotion de la paix. Comment l'organisation peut-elle jouer ce rôle dans un monde où les conflits se multiplient ? Tant qu'un étudiant ou un élève étudie dans les manuels scolaires que son voisin est un ennemi. Il n'y aura pas de paix. Et là, je crois que c'est là qu'il faut commencer. C'est par l'enfance. Je crois aussi que l'inégalité entre les gens sur la planète en termes d'éducation, de science, créé une haine. Malheureusement, en ce moment, il y a beaucoup de discours de haine. Et là, je crois que la raison d'être de l'Unesco, c'est de rapprocher les peuples parce que les accords gouvernementaux et politiques rapprochent les gouvernements. Mais l'éducation, la science et la culture et la communication rapprochent les peuples. Deuxième rôle, c'est pendant les conflits préserver les sites de patrimoine naturel et culturel, les établissements scolaires, les professeurs, les journalistes, les établissements de recherche scientifique. Et après ? Dans la phase de reconstruction de système éducatif, scientifique et culturel des pays en crise. Quand j'écris, ce n'est pas seulement conflit, mais c'est aussi l'impact des changements climatiques, notamment pour les petits États insulaires.

The 2025 Motocross of Nations is now in the record books, and the events that went down at Ironman Raceway last weekend were simply amazing for a hardcore motocross fan. The best racers from around the world converged on Crawfordsville, Indiana, for the most prestigious race of the year, and patriotism was at an all-time high! Swapmoto Live was there to witness Team Australia earning its second-consecutive MXoN Championship, while the last-minute United States team of Eli Tomac, RJ Hampshire, and Justin Cooper upheld American pride with a solid second-place showing. In this week's Kickstart Podcast by Maxxis Tires and Outhouse Coffee Co., we recap all of the wild stuff we saw!
