This interview with Professor Amihai Mazar was conducted by Željko Stanojević for the New Books Network. The conversation focuses on Tel Reḥov: A Bronze and Iron Age City in the Beth-Shean Valley, especially Volume V, where the report turns from architecture and pottery to smaller objects and scientific evidence that help reconstruct life at the site. Amihai Mazar is a leading archaeologist of ancient Israel. His research examines the Bronze and Iron Ages, archaeology and biblical history, ancient Near Eastern art and architecture, and historical geography. Tel Reḥov is especially important because it offers a rich archaeological sequence from the Beth-Shean Valley and evidence for the social, economic, and environmental history of northern Israel. Volume V is particularly revealing because it asks what can be learned from material that might appear secondary beside monumental architecture. Its first part examines clay, bone, stone and gypsum vessels; grinding stones and other stone implements; metal objects and metallurgical evidence; beads; objects connected with textile production; scale weights; and lithics. Together, these finds illuminate household work, craft activity, exchange, measurement, and technology. The volume also analyzes the spatial distribution of finds in a distinctive group of ninth-century BCE buildings in Area C. Archaeology is also about understanding where objects were found and how groups of finds functioned together. Distribution patterns can help reconstruct activities within buildings and suggest how work, storage, production, and daily routines were organized. It also includes Assyrian-period burials and later Islamic-period material, showing the site's long history. The second part of Volume V brings natural-science methods directly into the archaeological interpretation. Radiometric dating contributes to chronology. Studies of animal and fish remains, molluscs, and botanical material offer evidence for diet, agriculture, environment, trade, and the use of local and non-local resources. A soil-flotation project recovers small botanical remains that might otherwise disappear from the archaeological record. These studies show how modern archaeology depends on collaboration between excavators and natural-science specialists. One striking example is the paleomagnetic study of tilted walls in Area C, Stratum V. Instead of treating damaged architecture only as a descriptive feature, the researchers used physical evidence to investigate seismic destruction. This demonstrates a central strength of Volume V: interpretation is built by combining objects, context, chronology, biological remains, geology, and physical-science methods. Our discussion with Professor Mazar therefore uses Volume V to ask a larger question: how do small finds and scientific analyses change the historical picture created by excavation? The volume shows that understanding an ancient city requires more than identifying buildings or connecting archaeological horizons with historical narratives. It requires reconstructing technologies, food systems, craft production, movement of goods, environmental conditions, patterns of use within buildings, and the events that transformed them. Željko Stanojević is a host with the New Books Network and President of the Institute for Hebrew Language and Literature, Belgrade. He is also Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the European Hebrew Journal, an international Diamond Open Access journal supporting research in Hebrew, biblical, Jewish, linguistic, historical, and related studies.

In this New Books Network interview, Professor Željko Stanojević speaks with Professor Yigal Levin of Bar-Ilan University about his new book, The Chronicles of David and Solomon: 1 Chronicles 10–2 Chronicles 9: A New Translation and Commentary, published by Bloomsbury. The conversation explores what is new in Levin's translation and commentary, how the Book of Chronicles reshapes the stories of David and Solomon, and why Jerusalem, the Temple, the priesthood, the Levites, geography, political memory, and the idea of “all Israel” are central to the Chronicler's message. The book offers a new English translation and detailed commentary on 1 Chronicles 10 through 2 Chronicles 9. It is part of a planned multi-volume commentary. It begins with the death of Saul and follows the Chronicler's account of David's rise to power, the establishment of Jerusalem, the transfer of the Ark, the divine promise concerning David's dynasty, preparations for the Temple, Solomon's accession, and the construction and dedication of the Jerusalem Temple. Levin shows that Chronicles does far more than repeat Samuel and Kings. The Chronicler selects, reorganises, expands, and omits earlier material to create a distinctive interpretation of Israel's past. David is presented above all as the king who prepares Jerusalem, worship, personnel, materials, and institutions for the future Temple, while Solomon completes that project by building and dedicating the Temple. The volume also examines priests, Levites, musicians, gatekeepers, officials, military groups, tribes, cities, territories, genealogies, and neighbouring peoples. These details are essential for understanding how the Chronicler imagined Israel's unity, institutions, memory, and identity. Levin combines Biblical Hebrew, textual comparison, historical geography, archaeology, genealogy, literary analysis, and the history of ancient Israel. The commentary is especially valuable for scholars and students of Chronicles, David and Solomon, the Jerusalem Temple, biblical historiography, Persian-period Yehud, Biblical Hebrew, biblical archaeology, and ancient Israelite history. Professor Yigal Levin is an Israeli historian and biblical scholar at Bar-Ilan University. His research focuses on the history of ancient Israel, the Book of Chronicles, historical geography, biblical archaeology, biblical historiography, genealogies and tribal identity, Persian-period Yehud, and the relationship between biblical texts, geography, archaeology, and history. He is also Director of the Rivlin Institute for the History of the Land of Israel and its Settlement. Professor Levin is a member of the Editorial Board of the European Hebrew Journal, an international, peer-reviewed, Diamond Open Access journal published by the Institute for Hebrew Language and Literature in Belgrade. The journal publishes research in Hebrew language, Biblical Hebrew, the Hebrew Bible, Jewish Studies, Semitic linguistics, philology, textual criticism, biblical archaeology, ancient Israelite history, Hebrew literature, manuscript studies, translation, lexicography, and related fields. EHJ does not charge authors submission or publication fees. Professor Levin has also been announced as a speaker at the international online conference New Discoveries and New Directions in Biblical, Hebrew, and Theological Studies, to be held on 6–8 November 2026. The conference brings together scholars from biblical studies, Hebrew studies, theology, archaeology, Jewish Studies, history, and related disciplines.

David is presented above all as the king who prepares Jerusalem, worship, personnel, materials, and institutions for the future Temple, while Solomon completes that project by building and dedicating the Temple. The volume also examines priests, Levites, musicians, gatekeepers, officials, military groups, tribes, cities, territories, genealogies, and neighbouring peoples. These details are essential for understanding how the Chronicler imagined Israel's unity, institutions, memory, and identity. Levin combines Biblical Hebrew, textual comparison, historical geography, archaeology, genealogy, literary analysis, and the history of ancient Israel. The commentary is especially valuable for scholars and students of Chronicles, David and Solomon, the Jerusalem Temple, biblical historiography, Persian-period Yehud, Biblical Hebrew, biblical archaeology, and ancient Israelite history. Professor Yigal Levin is an Israeli historian and biblical scholar at Bar-Ilan University. His research focuses on the history of ancient Israel, the Book of Chronicles, historical geography, biblical archaeology, biblical historiography, genealogies and tribal identity, Persian-period Yehud, and the relationship between biblical texts, geography, archaeology, and history. He is also Director of the Rivlin Institute for the History of the Land of Israel and its Settlement. Professor Levin is a member of the Editorial Board of the European Hebrew Journal, an international, peer-reviewed, Diamond Open Access journal published by the Institute for Hebrew Language and Literature in Belgrade. The journal publishes research in Hebrew language, Biblical Hebrew, the Hebrew Bible, Jewish Studies, Semitic linguistics, philology, textual criticism, biblical archaeology, ancient Israelite history, Hebrew literature, manuscript studies, translation, lexicography, and related fields. EHJ does not charge authors submission or publication fees. Professor Levin has also been announced as a speaker at the international online conference New Discoveries and New Directions in Biblical, Hebrew, and Theological Studies, to be held on 6–8 November 2026. The conference brings together scholars from biblical studies, Hebrew studies, theology, archaeology, Jewish Studies, history, and related disciplines. The interview is hosted by Professor Željko Stanojević, President of the Institute for Hebrew Language and Literature, and European Hebrew Journal, and a New Books Network host for Biblical Studies.European Hebrew Journal Institute for Hebrew Language and Literature: Conference: New Discoveries and New Directions in Biblical, Hebrew, and Theological Studies, An International Online Conference Supporting the Diamond Open Access Mission of the European Hebrew Journal Learn more about your ad choices.

Recorded live at MathFest 2026 in Boston, this special episode brings together mathematics faculty from institutions across the country for a wide-ranging conversation about alternative grading. With the practice becoming increasingly visible in mathematics education, Sharona invites the group to reflect on what they are hearing, questioning, and thinking about as they move through the conference. The discussion opens space to consider emerging practices, persistent challenges, and the kinds of questions that arise when educators gather in person to compare experiences and rethink how grading can better support student learning.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

In this episode, Dan and Lauren are joined by the three co-editors of the newest New Directions for Student Leadership issue: Dr. Kerry Priest, Professor and Director of Leadership Studies at the Staley School of Leadership at Kansas State University; returning guest Dr. Jason Headrick, Associate Professor of Leadership and Community Development at Texas Tech University; and Dr. Haley Traini, Associate Professor of Leadership Education at Oregon State University. Together they co-edited NDSL #188: Leadership Learning for Systems Thinking and Practice — the 20th episode in the TLE–NDSL partnership series. Kerry, Jason, and Haley trace the issue's origins from a 2023 keynote by Mary Uhl-Bien in Copenhagen to a call for submissions deliberately open to stories, case studies, and reflections. They walk through the three questions that structure the issue — how we develop systems capacities, how we teach them, and how we evaluate systems-level change — along with tools like Human Systems Dynamics and its "what, so what, now what" adaptive-action cycle. The conversation is full of classroom-ready metaphors, from tracing how ice gets made to why an iPhone is merely complicated while mayonnaise is truly complex. As Kerry reminds us, in systems work the goal isn't winning or losing — it's staying in the game.   Resources and works mentioned in this episode include: New Directions for Student Leadership, Issue #188: Leadership Learning for Systems Thinking and Practice Human Systems Dynamics Global, co-founded by Glenda Eoyang and Royce Holladay 21st International Studying Leadership Conference, Copenhagen Business School, December 2023 Complexity Leadership: Insights on Adaptability from Professor Mary Uhl-Bien Kahneman, D.

Clarice Lispector morreu em 1977 e agora, quase meio século depois, vive um renascimento literário impulsionado pelas redes sociais. O que antes era descoberto nas estantes das bibliotecas ou por indicação de professores, hoje viraliza em vídeos de poucos segundos ao redor do mundo.  Do saudoso Orkut ao TikTok, passando por Facebook, YouTube e Instagram, novas gerações têm encontrado, em uma das mais importantes escritoras brasileiras, uma voz surpreendentemente atual. Influenciadores literários, criadores de conteúdo e clubes de leitura online compartilham as frases marcantes de Clarice Lispector e ajudam a transformar suas obras em verdadeiros fenômenos internacionais. É nesse momento de redescoberta da autora brasileira de origem ucraniana que a atriz e produtora catarinense Bruna Fachetti, radicada em Los Angeles, sobe ao palco do Broadwater Theater, em Hollywood, para apresentar uma adaptação teatral de “A Hora da Estrela”, último romance de Clarice Lispector, publicado pouco antes de sua morte. Sob a direção de Alex Tietre, a montagem terá cinco apresentações entre o fim de julho e o início de agosto e pretende aproximar ainda mais o público norte-americano de uma das maiores obras da literatura brasileira. " ‘A Hora da Estrela' é um livro que sempre me tocou profundamente, desde que eu era pré-adolescente. Eu tive uma fase, nos meus 20 anos, em que li muitos livros de Clarice, e, para mim, esse sempre foi o que mais me tocou. Eu acredito que, como artista, a gente sonha com a nossa ‘hora da estrela', e Macabéa, personagem principal desse livro, sonhava também em ser artista de cinema. Mas, na verdade, ela não tinha essa consciência, pois se sentia invisível para o mundo, sem, de fato, poder desejar, sem ter essa permissão”, conta Bruna. A identificação com a personagem também ajudou a definir onde essa história deveria ganhar vida. Los Angeles, cidade conhecida por atrair pessoas do mundo inteiro em busca de fama e reconhecimento artístico, pareceu o cenário perfeito para apresentar Macabéa a uma nova audiência. "Achei que tinha tudo a ver com Los Angeles, porque é uma cidade onde muitas pessoas estão em busca da sua ‘hora da estrela' e também, às vezes, vivem, de certa maneira, com muita indignidade, trabalhando muito em condições talvez não muito dignas de sobrevivência e até sem perceber. Então, eu acho que essa história se conecta muito com a realidade de Los Angeles, que também pode ter um pouco a ver com a questão das aparências. Além disso, há muitas vozes maravilhosas, cada uma com a sua grandeza, que ainda não tiveram a oportunidade de se expressar ou que estão em busca dessa autenticidade ou do seu lugar no mundo." Clarice viraliza nas redes sociais As novas traduções para o inglês publicadas pela editora New Directions (2011–2015) contribuíram para apresentar Clarice Lispector a uma nova geração de leitores estrangeiros, mas a redescoberta ganhou força mesmo nas redes sociais, desde a era do Orkut. A comunidade literária do TikTok, conhecida como BookTok, levou Clarice a milhares de jovens leitores. Vídeos comentando ‘A Hora da Estrela', ‘Água Viva' e ‘A Paixão Segundo G.H.' acumulam milhões de visualizações e frequentemente descrevem a autora como uma experiência de leitura transformadora e impossível de explicar. Uma das responsáveis por esse movimento é a influenciadora norte-americana Courtney Henning Novak, que conquistou milhares de seguidores ao compartilhar sua jornada de leitura. Depois de descobrir Clarice Lispector, Novak passou a recomendar os livros, frequentemente, e a indicar a autora para quem busca uma literatura mais profunda. A influenciadora mora nos arredores de Los Angeles, e já anunciou nas redes sociais que está ansiosa e vai estar presente na performance, pois considera Clarice uma grande experiência. O reconhecimento da obra de Clarice também chegou às estrelas da Sétima Arte. Durante uma cerimônia de premiação no Festival de Cinema de San Sebastián, na Espanha, a atriz Cate Blanchett citou Clarice Lispector como uma das escritoras que mais admira, ajudando a apresentar seu nome a um público ainda maior. “Clarice, hoje, está em alta nos Estados Unidos", comenta Bruna, que percebe esse fenômeno de perto. "As pessoas ficam muito admiradas com a singularidade da sua escrita. Eu, quando liguei para a livraria Barnes & Noble, que a gente queria fazer um evento lá de divulgação da peça, a moça me falou ao telefone: ‘vendemos muito os livros da escritora brasileira; ela está trending'. Eu e o Alex Tietre, diretor da peça, fomos fazer a divulgação na Calçada da Fama, em Hollywood. Uma moça muito jovem estava com o namorado, os dois norte-americanos, e ela me viu segurando o livro e falou: 'Meu Deus, eu amo essa autora.' E aí a gente perguntou para ela de onde conhecia Clarice, e ela tinha ouvido falar em algum vídeo do YouTube". Uma história brasileira com alcance universal Enquanto novas gerações descobrem Clarice Lispector por meio de vídeos curtos, Bruna Fachetti aposta que a força de sua literatura continua exatamente onde sempre esteve: na capacidade de fazer o leitor olhar para dentro de si. A atriz acredita que a jornada de Macabéa, embora profundamente brasileira, fala diretamente com pessoas de qualquer nacionalidade e que o poder das obras está justamente na maneira como Clarice consegue revelar sentimentos universais de pertencimento, invisibilidade e esperança. A adaptação busca preservar a poesia do romance e explorar uma linguagem teatral baseada na imaginação, na luz, no figurino e na interpretação, sem abrir mão da essência da obra original. “A gente quer muito que essa peça chegue para além de um público que já foi conquistado por Clarice, a um público realmente que possa se beneficiar dessa história, dessa montagem, que queira fazer essa troca e que possamos compartilhar essa parte do nosso Brasil para um público novo”, afirma Bruna Fachetti.

Sara Weaner Cooper describes how New Directions in the American Landscape is incorporating indigenous American approaches into Ecological Gardening and how by adjusting the growing conditions in her lawn she caused it to transform itself into a meadow of native grasses and wildflowers without the use of herbicides or other unsustainable practices. A replay of a July, 2024 conversation.

In this episode, Dan and Lauren are joined by Dr. Kathy Guthrie, Professor of Higher Education and Leadership at Florida State University, and Dr. Gayle Spencer, Senior Director of the Illinois Leadership Center at the University of Illinois. Together, Guthrie and Spencer co-edited New Directions for Student Leadership Issue #187: General Principles for Advancing Leadership Programs (Fall 2025) alongside the late Rian Satterwhite. This conversation honors both the issue and Rian's foundational contributions to the work. Kathy and Gayle share how the issue came together and how it works: each of the five core areas of the ILA General Principles — context, conceptual framework, content, learning, and metrics/outcomes/assessment — gets one chapter that deepens the knowledge base and one that shows real application. Listen for why the general principles are a living document worth revisiting early and often, especially as the contexts leadership educators teach and lead in keep shifting.

Listeners will hear examples from podcasts, sports, comic books, television, and other cultural spaces, along with practical ideas for helping students critically examine the stories that shape how society defines leadership.

After nearly a year away from the microphone, we're back with a life update that (in true Lauren & Nicole style) manages to cover ADHD diagnoses, fractured bones, nursing careers, master's degrees, ear piercings, birth work, and the strange way life only makes sense when you look backwards.In this conversation, we reflect on the seasons that have shaped us over the past year. Lauren shares what has shifted since receiving her ADHD diagnosis, including the grief, relief, self-compassion, and unexpected freedom that came with finally understanding how her brain works. Nicole reflects on returning to nursing, beginning a Master's in Counselling Psychology, and navigating the tension between unmet expectations and trusting that no experience is ever truly wasted.We also explore the realities of parenting neurodivergent children, making difficult medical decisions, advocating for our kids, and learning to loosen our grip on identities that no longer fit. Along the way, we share updates on the work we're creating together, including our upcoming prenatal education offering, Weaving Birth, and the deeper questions we're asking about birth, matrescence, self-worth, and what it means to prepare for transformation.This episode is a reminder that growth rarely happens in a straight line. Sometimes the thing that looks like a detour becomes the path. Sometimes a diagnosis creates freedom. Sometimes the season you're resisting is quietly preparing you for what's next...Connect with Nicole:Instagram: @nicolepasveerPodcast: REWILD + FREE..Connect with Lauren:Instagram: @nestandnourishPodcast: The Well-Nourished Mother..If this conversation resonated with you, we'd love it if you'd share it with a friend, leave a review, or send us a message.

Right now, it seems like there are more Glee alumni on stage in New York than ever before, and it made Mickey-Jo wonder about the impact of the TV show on the theatre industry in the years since it debuted.From Lea Michele in Funny Girl to Matthew Morrison in Just in Time, plenty of Glee cast members have either made their stage debut or returned to Broadway after finding fame on screen, and it has often afforded these productions a significant box office boost.Check out the full video essay for a recap of all of the stage careers that arose after Glee, as well as Mickey-Jo's thoughts on how the TV show has helped Broadway during a challenging chapter, and why audiences are showing up for the former members of New Directions...check out Mickey-Jo's brand new substack newsletter:www.mickeyjotheatre.substack.com•00:00 | introduction02:52 | the Broadway returns11:38 | the stage debuts20:33 | did Glee save Broadway?27:10 | conclusionAbout Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

Send us a textIn this New Year's episode, I explore the very real consequences of last year's Past Year Review. Most notably, I decided to retire from a beloved community mental health clinic and launch Park West Integrative Psychiatry — sparked by a desire for creativity, continued learning, and a growing belief in integrative trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, ketamine-assisted therapy, hypnosis, and breath-based practices.This episode reflects on how intentionally examining meaning and purpose can lead to significant life changes — changes that invite both opportunity and risk, excitement and fear.To close the episode, I share a recording of my retirement speech from the clinic, which turns into an unexpected sing-along and a fitting ritual for marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.Chapters0:13 — Nerves and a Big Career Pivot 0:52 — Last Year's Review and 2025 Intentions 1:46 — Leaving a Beloved Community Clinic 2:46 — Why Change Now, and What's Next 3:09 — New Directions in Trauma Treatment and Psychiatry 4:05 — Building Park West Integrative Psychiatry 5:02 — Fear, Complexity, and Finding Balance 6:00 — A Cautious Note on Year-End Reviews 6:20 — Reflections on Podcast Growth 7:06 — Upcoming Group Therapies and Retreats 7:54 — Yellowstone Lessons and Old Friends 8:40 — Gratitude, Global Listeners, and What's Next 9:11 — Retirement Speech and Sing-AlongSign up for the Developing Meaning Substack newsletter for updates and behind-the-scenes reflections.Theme music by The Thrashing Skumz. Developing Meaning is produced by Consilient Mind LLC.

We're excited to bring back a powerful Money Tales conversation with Cicley Gay. In this encore episode, we revisit Cicley's journey from scarcity to abundance. As the founder of The Amplifiers and now Chair of the Board of Black Lives Matter's Global Network, Cicley's insights into money, mindset, and meaning are as relevant today as ever. Whether it's the bag-lady syndrome or the fear that money will vanish no matter how much we earn, Cicley's story reminds us that personal awareness is the first step toward a healthier financial mindset. As the visionary founder of The Amplifiers, a pioneering social enterprise at the intersection of cause and communications, and Chairwoman of the Board for the Black Lives Matter, Cicley brings a wealth of expertise to the forefront of social justice initiatives. She embarked on her civic service journey by participating in two terms in AmeriCorps, then assumed a pivotal position as the founding director of STAND (Students Take Action for New Directions), where she empowered students by educating them on the ramifications of federal budget allocations on under-resourced communities. Cicley's unwavering dedication to uplifting marginalized communities is shown through her decade-long commitment to catalyzing change at The Women's Sports Foundation. In her roles as the founding director of GoGirlGo! and later as the National Director of Education and Alliances, she tirelessly spearheaded initiatives aimed at expanding access to physical activity for millions of young women in under-resourced areas across the nation. Her passion for mentorship and empowerment further propelled her to serve as the Director of National Initiatives at the National CARES Mentoring Movement, where she played a central role in establishing a multi-million-dollar national mentoring initiative for children, earning the financial support of the U.S. Department of Juvenile Justice. Cicley's impact extends beyond her professional achievements. She has been recognized for her outstanding contributions, receiving accolades such as the President's Volunteer Service Award from the Obama Administration in 2013 and the Catalyst Award from the Global Center for Social Change through Women's Leadership in 2015. Additionally, Cicley is a proud member of the inaugural class of WEI (Women's Entrepreneurship Initiative) and has been honored as one of Georgia's 40 Under 40, awarded a SPANX Red Backpack grant for Women's Entrepreneurship, ATL+ most powerful women in Atlanta in 2024 and 2025 and one of SUCCESS magazine's 50 Women of Impact in 2025. She holds an honorary Doctoral degree from Trinity International University. Her greatest accomplishment was winning “Mom of the Year '' as a mom to three sons. Cicley often says, “I spent decades intentionally preparing my sons for the world, I am now focused on also preparing the world for my sons.” Take Action and Make a Difference Learn how leadership, mentorship, and thoughtful philanthropy can create lasting impact—for yourself, your community, and the world.

Darkness Radio Presents: Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Life w/ John Gertz & Scotty Rorek! In today's Thanksgiving Episode, you get a double helping of guests! Scientist/Author John Gertz and Psychic/Medium Scotty Rorek!  For millennia, humanity has looked up at the sprawling tapestry of stars and wondered what lay beyond. With time, we learned that each star is not a pinprick point in a domed sky, but a massive plasma sphere so far away that the distance becomes incomprehensible to the human mind, measured in light years of millions and billions. This distance invokes crucial questions. Do we share the universe with other intelligent lifeforms? If so, how do we approach the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)? Lastly, do we need to examine our assumptions about extraterrestrial intelligence? John Gertz's book, Reinventing SETI clears out the cobwebs of outdated or wrongheaded SETI paradigms such as Fermi's Paradox, the Drake Equation, and METI (i.e., proactively sending signals from Earth to putative aliens). It argues that scientists should approach the pursuit of extraterrestrials (ETs) in a more effective manner. Author John Gertz states that ETs, as biological lifeforms themselves, cannot accomplish interstellar travel, but have instead placed robotic probes throughout the universe, perhaps even in our own Solar System. Gertz also warns that humankind is woefully unprepared for the day of First Contact with an alien probe right here in our own backyard. He suggests contingency planning, involving international cooperation as well as broad cross-disciplinary expertise.

New Directions in Remote Viewing with Chase from Social-RV Chase McCarty is a software engineer and the creator of Social RV (www.social-rv.com), a new web-based research platform for collective remote viewing. Through this project he is integrating AI and blockchain technologies to enable transparent, verifiable data collection on thousands of viewing trials. His work opens new directions for both open-source research and personal skill development in the field of remote viewing. Chase discusses the innovation of the Social RV website which is enabling thousands of participants to practice and validate remote viewing using artificial intelligence and blockchain verification. He explains how the platform allows fully blind trials, automatic scoring, and open access to over 4,000 public sessions, creating unprecedented transparency in psychic research. McCarty also shares his future plans for exploring associative remote viewing and using data analytics to track measurable improvement in user performance. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

"The self-made man is a lie that we have taught people to keep them from complaining, to keep them from whining, to keep them from asking for better from their government, to keep them from asking for better from their employer." The two Steves – Hall and Grumbine – get together to dismantle the myth of the self-made man, exposing it as a centuries-old political weapon designed to disempower the working class. Professor Hall traces the roots of this "possessive individualism" back centuries, saying it is not a recent neoliberal invention but a deeply embedded cultural force with origins in changes in English law, specifically the spread of primogeniture (inheritance by the first-born son) in the 12th century. He goes on to explain the consequences of these historical events. The conversation reframes the American Dream as a form of mass gambling. Despite overwhelming evidence that most people fail, the system encourages a zero-sum mindset where we focus on the lottery-like winners. The Steves agree that facts alone won't break this spell. They discuss the need for a new emotionally compelling narrative that counters the right's fear-mongering. Steve Hall is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the University of Teesside. He is a polymath who has published in the fields of criminology, sociology, anthropology, history, economic history, political theory and philosophy. He is also co-author of Violent Night (Berg 2006, with Simon Winlow), Rethinking Social Exclusion (Sage 2013, with Simon Winlow), Riots and Political Protest (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow, James Treadwell and Daniel Briggs), Revitalizing Criminological Theory (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow), The Rise of the Right (with Simon Winlow and James Treadwell) and The Death of the Left (with Simon Winlow). He is co-editor of New Directions in Criminological Theory (Routledge 2012, with Simon Winlow). In 2017 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the international Extreme Anthropology Research Network at the University of Vienna. @ProfHall1955 on X

Preview: General Blaine Holt (United States Air Force retired) discusses a cultural shift away from the warrior ethos in the US military, influenced by new directions at the Pentagon. He notes a drift toward focusing on issues like climate change, DEI, and woke Marxism, facilitated by a nepotistic promotion system that de-prioritizes meritocracy. 1957
