HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush to Reason hits the ground running as John Rush welcomes Steve House, former Colorado GOP Chair and longtime health-care executive, for a rapid-fire look at the future of AI, medicine, and education. What happens when artificial intelligence reads your bloodwork better than your doctor? Could peptides disrupt Big Pharma the way streaming crushed cable? And why have drug launch prices jumped from $2,100 in 2008 to over $180,000 today? Steve breaks down the explosion of AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Quarrio—platforms that can analyze symptoms, generate medical summaries, explain drug interactions, and even role-play ER physicians or comedians like Bill Burr. If AI can help people avoid unnecessary appointments, reduce anxiety, and make smarter decisions, will unions, bureaucracies, and giant health systems try to block it? John and Steve push further: Could AI slash labor costs, reinvent classrooms, and eliminate menial tasks across entire professions? Will institutions embrace it—or fight it? And are we heading toward a world where advanced expertise becomes accessible to everyone? This hour is provocative, funny, and packed with bold predictions. HOUR 2 Hour 2 explodes with political heat as John Rush breaks down the real story behind the government shutdown and the six Democrats who crossed party lines. Were they acting on principle—or trying to affect last week's elections? With 42 million Americans on SNAP, John asks: Why is dependency rising when jobs are everywhere? Should drug testing, tighter restrictions, and accountability be required before taxpayers foot the bill? Caller Dan pushes the discussion into health-care reform, HSAs, and free-market medicine, sharing shocking billing stories. John argues conservatives are missing a huge opportunity by refusing to use AI as a communication tool—while the Left embraces it. Caller Jeff raises the case for lifestyle-based insurance rates, while Brad from Lakewood unleashes a blistering critique of GOP messaging, low turnout, and Trump's reliance on Truth Social. If conservatives can't communicate their wins, how do they expect to win elections? This hour is fiery, blunt, and unapologetically honest. HOUR 3 Hour 3 delivers political fireworks, hard data, and eye-opening corruption. John Rush welcomes “Jerzee Joe,” (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) who arrives with statistics showing how broken the system is. Why are only 0.25% of federal employees fired for cause when private industry averages 3–5%? Why do blue states like New Mexico and New York lead the nation in SNAP dependency, while Wyoming and Utah stay near 5%? And how can one man collect six sets of SNAP benefits across multiple states? Joe reveals massive NGO fraud, including a St. Louis nonprofit that burned $11 million on luxuries and a Minneapolis restaurant claiming to feed thousands—but feeding only 40 paying customers. He then exposes the Chicago Teachers Union for spending $173,000 on a “recording studio” with a pool in New Mexico. The hour shifts as market analyst Scott Garliss (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com) breaks down panic surrounding Michael Burry, AI stocks like NVIDIA and Palantir, and whether an “AI bubble” is looming. Are pessimists fueling fear while long-term investors reap the rewards? Fast, sharp, and packed with revelations—this hour pulls no punches.

Quá trình chuyển đổi năng lượng đòi hỏi những công nghệ sử dụng nhiều loại đất hiếm. Tuy nhiên, ngoài những căng thẳng về địa chính trị, quy trình khai thác, chiết xuất và tinh chế đất hiếm đặt ra nhiều vấn đề cho xã hội và môi trường. Tình trạng nhiễm độc thạch tín (arsenic) tại nhiều đoạn lưu vực sông Mê Kông do khai thác đất hiếm ở Lào và Miến Điện là một ví dụ mới nhất. Theo ước tính, thị trường 17 loại nguyên tố đất hiếm chiếm một tỷ trọng khá khiêm tốn : Khoảng 9 tỷ đô la/năm với sản lượng hàng năm là 150 ngàn tấn. Nhưng đây lại là những thành phần quan trọng cho thị trường các ngành công nghiệp tiên tiến có giá trị lên đến bảy ngàn tỷ đô la mỗi năm. Tính đến những năm 1980, Hoa Kỳ là quốc gia thống lĩnh thị trường sản xuất đất hiếm. Nhưng từ năm 1995, Trung Quốc chiếm thế độc quyền. Một phần là do giá nhân công rẻ, trữ lượng khoáng sản cao và các quy định về môi trường mềm dẻo hơn cho phép Trung Quốc hạ giá thành sản phẩm. Ngay từ những năm 1950, người ta đã nhận thấy vai trò thiết yếu của đất hiếm cho phát triển các ngành công nghệ cao. Ngoài các lĩnh vực như điện thoại thông minh, trí tuệ nhân tạo, thậm chí cả vũ khí, chẳng hạn như tên lửa, các nguyên tố đất hiếm này được cho là đóng một vai trò then chốt cho quá trình phát triển điều được gọi là « năng lượng xanh » như tua-bin điện gió, xe điện, tấm pin năng lượng mặt trời ... nhờ vào các đặc tính của chúng như chất xúc tác, nam châm, luyện kim và đánh bóng. Và tùy theo mỗi loại đất hiếm, chúng có một ứng dụng khác nhau trong công nghiệp. Đất hiếm : Quy trình tinh chế gây ô nhiễm Khai thác khoáng sản vốn dĩ đã là một hoạt động gây ô nhiễm. Điều này cũng không là ngoại lệ đối với đất hiếm. Theo giải thích từ nhà nghiên cứu Emilie Janots, giảng viên đại học Grenoble Alpes trên trang CNRS Terre & Univers, việc lập các khu vực thăm dò và khai thác khoáng sản là gây ô nhiễm, do những hoạt động này tạo ra các vùng tích tụ chất thải, gây ra những hậu quả tai hại cho môi trường. Nguyên nhân chính là vì các đặc tính hóa học của đất hiếm, khiến hoạt động khai thác chúng gây ô nhiễm. Bởi vì, 17 loại nguyên tố đất hiếm này có đặc điểm độc đáo là chúng hiện diện trộn lẫn với nhau trong các mỏ. Và do vậy, việc khai thác, chế biến và phân tách đất hiếm là rất tốn kém về năng lượng, nước và hóa chất.  Một mặt, những mỏ lớn nhất có khoảng 5% đất hiếm nhưng trong hầu hết các trường hợp, con số nay chỉ gần 1%. Điều này giải thích vì sao nhu cầu khai thác một lượng lớn đá chỉ để thu được một tỷ lệ đất hiếm ít ỏi vào cuối giai đoạn. Có thể nói phân tách đất hiếm là một quy trình đặc biệt khó, như thể « người ta muốn phân tách các sắc thái khác nhau của mầu xám. Họ dễ tách mầu trắng khỏi màu đen. Nhưng làm sao có thể tách 5% của mầu đen, 6% của mầu đen hay 7% của mầu đen ? », theo cách giải thích ẩn dụ của nhà nghiên cứu mỏ khoáng sản Rajive Ganguli, giáo sư đại học Utah, Hoa Kỳ với Le Monde. Mặt khác, 17 loại nguyên tố đất hiếm trộn lẫn vào nhau trong một mỏ khoáng sản, nhưng người ta thường chỉ cần chiết xuất từ 3-4 loại. Mỗi lần cô lập một loại đất hiếm duy nhất phải sử dụng một lượng lớn hóa chất. Một quy trình mà theo đánh giá của giáo sư đại học Utah, Rajive Ganguli là có thể gây ô nhiễm cao, do việc « người ta phải đào nhiều hố trên mặt đất và bơm vào đấy các loại hóa chất (…) Quy trình này gây ô nhiễm cho nước, các mạch nước ngầm… » Chưa kể tại một số mỏ, đất hiếm còn bị trộn lẫn với thorium, uranium, hai nguyên tố phóng xạ. Đây là nguyên nhân người ta thường tìm thấy hai nguyên tố này trong các khoáng chất chứa đất hiếm và do vậy tạo ra chất thải phóng xạ trong quá trình khai thác. Năng lượng xanh có « sạch » hay không ? Chỉ có điều, thế giới đang đặt ra mục tiêu kìm hãm mức tăng nhiệt độ hâm nóng khí hậu và do vậy, phải hạn chế việc sử dụng năng lượng hóa thạch như điện than, khí đốt, giảm phát thải khí CO2 gây hiệu ứng nhà kính. Quá trình chuyển đổi năng lượng này đòi hỏi sử dụng nhiều công nghệ có chứa đất hiếm. Ví dụ như các thanh nam châm trong tua-bin điện gió chứa đến 70% chất neodymium. Do các đặc tính từ tính của loại kim loại này mạnh hơn nhiều so với các loại nam châm cũ nên kích thước và trọng lượng của chúng được giảm xuống, giúp tối ưu hóa hiệu suất của tua-bin gió. Tuy nhiên, việc khai thác các mỏ đất hiếm mới cũng đồng nghĩa với việc hủy hoại môi trường tự nhiên và đa dạng sinh học. Điều này làm dấy lên nỗi ngờ vực : Liệu công nghệ năng lượng xanh có thực sự « sạch » ? Chẳng hạn, để đảm bảo mục tiêu chuyển đổi năng lượng của mình, Liên Hiệp Châu Âu có kế hoạch cấm bán xe mới chạy bằng động cơ xăng dầu vào năm 2035 để rồi đạt mục tiêu trung hòa khí CO2 vào năm 2050. Nhà báo Guillaume Pitron, chuyên gia về nguyên nhiên liệu, trên kênh truyền hình TV5 Monde (15/11/2023) cảnh báo để có thể hoàn thành những mục tiêu này, châu Âu cần rất nhiều thứ kim loại để sản xuất các loại phương tiện mới. Và để có thể tìm đủ các thứ kim loại đó, các nhà sản xuất và cung cấp sẽ phải đi tìm kiếm nguyên nhiên liệu tại những nước mà các quy định về môi trường lỏng lẻo hơn nhiều so với tại châu Âu. « Ví dụ, họ có thể tìm mua ở Trung Quốc, Congo, Kinshasa, tại Bolivia, những nước không có cùng quy định, tiêu chuẩn và do vậy, cái giá phải trả cho môi trường là nghiêm trọng do việc các nhà cung cấp không có cùng tiêu chuẩn, chuẩn mực về kỹ thuật chiết xuất. Vì vậy, ở đây còn có phí môi trường, phí xã hội, phí con người, những cái giá mà chính chúng ta đã không thật sự nhận thức ra, bởi vì tất cả những điều đó diễn ra ở xa chúng ta ». Khai thác đất hiếm ở Miến Điện : Ô nhiễm arsenic trên Mêkông Đây là những gì đang xảy ra cho nhiều đoạn trên lưu vực sông Mê Kông. Theo tiết lộ của trang Mongabay (27/10/2025), nhóm nghiên cứu thuộc trung tâm tư vấn Stimson Center qua phân tích các hình ảnh vệ tinh, đã xác định ít nhất có 27 mỏ đất hiếm đã được mở tại Lào từ năm 2022. Theo đó, « mười lăm trong số các mỏ này đang hoạt động trong lưu vực sông Mê Kông, nghĩa là có 12 mỏ trên sông Nam Khan và 3 mỏ trên sông Nam Ngiep, cả hai đều đổ vào sông Mê Kông, con sông dài khoảng 4.900 km, bắt nguồn từ Tây Tạng chảy qua Miến Điện, Thái Lan, Lào, Cam Bốt và Việt Nam trước khi đổ ra Biển Đông. » Cũng theo Trung tâm Stimson, mười mỏ khai thác đất hiếm khác trên các con sông Nam hao và Nam Xan, trên lưu vực sông Ma, có nguy cơ gây ra mối đe dọa sinh thái xuyên biên giới, không chỉ đối với Việt Nam mà còn đối với Khu Bảo tồn Đa dạng Sinh thái Nam Xam, nằm ở biên giới Lào và Việt Nam, nơi sinh sống của loài vượn má trắng phương Bắc đang bị đe dọa nghiêm trọng và loài voi châu Á có nguy cơ bị tuyệt chủng. Trang Mongabay cho biết hàm lượng chất arsenic tại những con sông này cao bất thường so với trước đây. Các nhà nghiên cứu cảnh báo nguy cơ môi trường sinh thái đa dạng ở sông Mê Kông, nơi nuôi sống cho hơn 50 triệu người dân do sự phụ thuộc của họ vào nguồn thực phẩm, nguồn nước và sinh kế, bị tổn hại lâu dài và nghiêm trọng là có thực. Các hoạt động khai thác đất hiếm phi pháp tại Miến Điện, phần đông là chủ đầu tư Trung Quốc, đang làm nhiều nhánh sông đi từ Miến Điện đến các vùng phía bắc Thái Lan bị nhiễm độc thạch tín (arsenic) do tình trạng đổ bừa bãi nước thải xử lý đất hiếm ra sông mà không được kiểm soát. Chủ nghĩa thực dân môi trường Phóng sự dài do đài SBS News của Úc thực hiện cho thấy sông Kok nhuộm một màu cam kỳ lạ, cá chết nổi nhiều bất thường và bị biến dạng, cũng như là nhiều trường hợp mắc bệnh đã được ghi nhận ở nhiều ngư dân sống dọc theo con sông. Theo thổ lộ của anh Gob Kotekham, người Thái Lan, 42 tuổi với kênh SBS News, « có điều gì rất lạ đang xảy ra : những nốt phát ban xuất hiện trên người và chúng cứ lan rộng. Chúng làm tôi mẩn ngứa. Tình trạng này kéo dài hơn hai tháng, tôi chưa bao giờ cảm thấy như vậy trước đây ». Đối với nhà báo Guillaume Pitron, đây là những yếu tố các nhà hoạch định chính sách môi trường nên tính đến. « Tôi có cảm giác là mọi thứ nhà mình đều sạch sẽ nhưng trên thực tế là có một ai đó đang trả những cái giá, những khoản phí ở một đầu khác trên thế giới cách xa chúng ta hàng nghìn km mà không ai đặt chân đến cả. Một cái giá "vô hình" nhưng có thực và không thể bỏ qua. Chúng có nguy cơ làm cho quá trình chuyển đổi năng lượng còn khó chấp nhận hơn trên bình diện xã hội nếu chúng ta không làm điều gì đó để giảm nhẹ ». Nhìn chung, đất hiếm là cần thiết cho công nghệ xanh. Nhưng quá trình chế biến nó vốn quá ô nhiễm và nguy hiểm cho các nước Bắc Bán cầu, giờ đây chủ yếu được tiến hành ở các nước Nam bán cầu. Nhà nghiên cứu Simone Lobach, khi trả lời đặc phái viên đài RFI Jeanne Richard, nhân hội nghị COP 30 tại Belem, không ngần ngại ví hiện tượng này là « chủ nghĩa thực dân môi trường » !

The UN Human Rights Council contains members like China, Cuba, and Qatar. Yet it remains a highly trusted institution across Western democracies. What should the public understand about the reality of activities going on at the UN? And how should Western democratic governments address the organization's shortcomings? To discuss some of the major concerns about the UN, Hillel Neuer joins Inside Policy Talks. Neuer is a lawyer, writer, and activist, and the executive director of UN Watch, a human rights NGO based in Geneva, Switzerland. Neuer has often testified before the United Nations and is a widely cited expert on its activities. On the podcast, he tells Casey Babb, director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Promised Land project, that with public opinion surveys continuing to demonstrate widespread public confidence in the UN amongst those living in Western democracies, what happens at the UN matters “whether we like it or not.” “What's said at the UN influences the hearts and minds of hundreds of millions of people,” says Neuer. That's why he's focused on delivering his message about the stark reality that the UN “turns a blind eye to human rights abuses happening in China” while making Israel a “scapegoat for everything they're not doing on catastrophes around the world.” He says Western democratic governments, like Canada's, must use their “moral gravitas” to speak out on this imbalance at the UN.

In this episode, Rudy joins Iker Suárez, author of The Migrant Genocide: Toward a Third World Analysis of European Class Struggle, to delve into the politics of migration and borders in Europe, examining how imperialism, class, and race intersect in what our guest describes as a "genocide at sea." We explore who the people migrating to Europe are, why they move, and how their journeys expose the contradictions at the heart of European liberalism. Our guest argues that immigration today represents the return of Europe's colonial past, and critiques how both the right and the nominal left continue to enforce violent border regimes -from the Tarajal massacre to ongoing state repression- while masking them as "human rights" issues. We also discuss the limits of NGO-led antiracism, the weak state of immigrant organizing across Europe, how the concept of race is undeveloped, and how citizenship itself becomes a new class divide.

Nghe trọn nội dung sách nói Giông Tố trên ứng dụng Voiz FM: https://voiz.vn/play/1438/ Giông Tố là thảm kịch về sự thấp hèn bất tín của con người trên mọi lãnh vực: không ai có thể tin được ai, không ai có thể nhờ cậy được ai. Từ trong ra ngoài, từ anh em đến cha mẹ, từ vợ đến chồng, cha đến con, tất cả đều sống trong lừa dối, bất mục, một vòng loạn luân khép kín: tội ác và lừa bịp gieo rắc khắp nơi, không thể biết hậu quả chỗ nào mà tránh.Giông Tố không phải là quyển tiểu thuyết như Tắt Đèn của Ngô Tất Tố, hay Đoạn Tuyệt của Nhất Linh. Có nghĩa là nó không chỉ tố cáo sự thối nát trong chế độ làng xã thôn quê, sự bóc lột người cùng đinh của bọn giàu có, quan lại ở nông thôn thời Pháp thuộc, như Ngô Tất Tố; mà cũng không chỉ đả phá chế độ gia đình trị trong xã hội cổ truyền đầu thế kỷ XX như Nhất Linh.Vũ Trọng Phụng trình bày con người của mọi thời dưới khía cạnh thực nhất: đó là sự thay lòng đổi dạ của con người trong một môi trường xã hội mà tiền bạc có thể chi phối tất cả. Ông viết về sự tha hoá của con người trong khi các tác giả khác mới chỉ đề cập đến những nạn nhân của chế độ, như Loan trong Đoạn Tuyệt, Dậu trong Tắt Đèn hay Bính trong Bỉ Vỏ.Nhân vật của Vũ Trọng Phụng khác hẳn: trong Giông Tố, chúng ta không tìm ra được khuôn mặt nào đáng thương quá đáng, cũng không tìm thấy khuôn mặt nào đáng ghét quá đáng, kể cả Nghị Hách và Thị Mịch — hai đối trọng, kẻ hiếp dâm và kẻ bị hiếp. Trong Giông Tố (cũng như trong Vỡ Đê và Số Đỏ), không hề có sự chia đôi giữa nạn nhân và thủ phạm, bởi ở đó, con người hiện ra trần trụi, phức tạp và thật đến tận cùng.

Dr. Rick Brennan, an acclaimed Australian humanitarian leader who led WHO and NGO crisis response in multiple conflicts over several decades, walks us through his personal story. He then unpacks the scale and gravity of what is now unfolding in Darfar—featuring the “F word” (famine), the “G word”( genocide, affirmed by the US Senate), and the “C word” (cholera). The crisis requires political action from the UAE—and President Trump's attention. “There is an obligation to act.” And yet it occurs as global humanitarian needs have soared while humanitarian funding has dropped by half—the US by over 80%. It is a wake-up call, a rude awakening.

How might we change the way we – and all our leaders think – so that we never go to war? The war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the conflict in Gaza, have galvanised thinking about, and action by, the bodies administering, the laws of war. National court processes - applying ‘universal jurisdiction' for example – may bring international war criminals to justice. Informal processes can provide material capable of developing national laws and of providing evidence to assist the formal courts. But do these processes do anything to protect from future wars?This lecture was recorded by Professor Geoffrey Nice on 21th October 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Sir Geoffrey Nice KC has practised as a barrister since 1971.  He worked at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia – the ICTY – between 1998 and 2006 and led the prosecution of Slobodan Milošević, former President of Serbia.Much of his work since has been connected to cases before the permanent International Criminal Court – Sudan, Kenya, Libya – or  pro bono for victims groups – Iran, Burma, North Korea – whose cases cannot get to any international court.  He works for several related NGO's and lectures and commentates in the media in various countries on international war crimes issues.  He has been a part-time judge since 1984 sitting at the Old Bailey and has sat as judge in other jurisdictions, tribunals and inquiries.  Between 2009 and 2012 he was Vice-Chair of the Bar Standards Board, the body that regulates barristers.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/whither-warGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

In this Telugu podcast episode, we had one of our amazing conversations with Suma Kanakala, most commonly revered as  the queen of Telugu television, iconic anchor, actress, and household name who has hosted over 2000+ shows. She sat down with us for a  rare and unfiltered conversation. Known for her wit, spontaneity, and unmatched energy, Suma opens up like never before about her journey from Doordarshan serials to becoming Telugu TV's most celebrated female host.She shares how her unexpected entry began in the 1990s, her early serials like Geetanjali (the first Telugu show shot in the US), and how Avakkayara changed her life in 2006. Suma recalls her iconic Star Mahila days, shooting five episodes in a single day, and how a non-prime-time show became one of the most successful Telugu programs ever.The conversation turns emotional as she reflects on the paradox of fame, the cost of being Suma Kanakala, and how she manages to stay kind and composed amid criticism, rumors, and intense public life. She shares how she finds balance between her public persona and private peace, revealing stories from her Palakkad roots to her life in Hyderabad.From handling divorce rumors and creative burnout to dealing with on-stage pressure during events like Khaidi No.150, Andhrawala, and OG, Suma opens up about surviving exhaustion, emotional breakdowns, and near-death moments at stampede-prone events.She talks about parenting, women's career restarts, and how family support kept her grounded. Her stories about being 8 months pregnant during a pre-release event, facing period pain, and still performing show her strength as a working woman in the media.Suma also discusses her long association with Swarabhishekam, heartfelt memories with SP Balasubrahmanyam, and how years of heavy makeup affected her health. She dives into topics like beauty standards, financial independence, and how she stays relevant despite changing trends.With humor and honesty, she reveals fun memories from Ravi Teja's trailer event, fan wars, and Rajiv Kanakala's influence on her life. She opens up about their relationship, his accident, and her NGO and welfare work that reflect her compassion beyond the camera.Suma credits her success to her presence of mind, discipline, and theatre background, saying she still observes newcomers and evolves constantly. As she talks about language, matriarchy, and Kerala traditions, it's clear that Suma Kanakala is not just an entertainer but a symbol of resilience, reinvention, and grace. 

In this episode of the Charity Charge Show we speak with, David Gaspar, CEO of The Bail Project, on how the organization posts bail at no cost for people who cannot afford it, then supports them with court reminders, transportation, and connections to services. He explains common misunderstandings about pretrial justice, highlights data from recent studies and The Bail Project's own publications, and reflects on leadership lessons as the organization approaches a milestone of 40,000 clients served.Episode HighlightsMission in one line: Help people fight their cases from a position of freedom and keep their lives stable while they wait for court.The problem: More than 500,000 people sit in jail on any given day because they cannot afford bail.What The Bail Project does: Posts bail for free, sends court reminders, provides transportation, and connects people to resources when and where needed.Why it matters: Pretrial jail time destabilizes jobs, housing, and family life. Supporting people to return to court protects stability and improves outcomes.Milestone ahead: Nearly 40,000 clients bailed out. About one third of those cases were dismissed, which points to significant unnecessary jail time.Practical proof: Simple tools such as reminders and rides reduce failures to appear and downstream warrants.About Charity ChargeCharity Charge is a financial technology company serving the nonprofit sector.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Israel marks 30 years since the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Schneider reflects on the Saturday night rally held near the square where he was shot and why the annual event commemorating him wasn't held for the last five years. After the frenzied hours on Sunday evening when police searched for and then found IDF legal chief Major General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi alive and well -- the advocate general who resigned last week after admitting to leaking an abuse video at the Sde Teiman military detention facility -- Schneider discusses the complexities of the case, as Tomer-Yerushalmi was often blamed by liberal politicians for not prosecuting enough and conservative lawmakers for putting too much pressure on soldiers. Surkes examines two situations of growing pollution, first in the northern West Bank, where Palestinians often burn garbage, resulting in clean air complaints, and in Hadera, known as Israel's most polluted city because of the massive power station in its midst.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Eli Lopian, author of AICracy and founder of aicracy.ai, about how artificial intelligence could transform the way societies govern themselves. They explore the limitations of modern democracy, the idea of AI-guided lawmaking based on fairness and abundance, and how technology might bring us closer to a more participatory, transparent form of governance. The conversation touches on prediction markets, social media's influence on truth, the future of work in an abundance economy, and why human creativity, imperfection, and connection will remain central in an AI-driven world.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Eli Lopian introduces his book AICracy and shares why democracy needs a new paradigm for governance in the age of AI. 05:00 They explore AI-driven decision-making, fairness in lawmaking, and the abundance measure as a new way to evaluate social well-being. 10:00 Discussion turns to accountability, trust, and Eli's idea of three AIs—government, opposition, and NGO—balancing each other to prevent corruption. 15:00 Stewart connects these ideas to non-linearity and organic governance, while Eli describes systems evolving like cities rather than rigid institutions. 20:00 They discuss decade goals, city-state models, and the role of social media in shaping public perception and truth. 25:00 The focus shifts to truth detection, prediction markets, and feedback systems ensuring “did it actually happen?” accountability. 30:00 They talk about abundance economies, AI mentorship, and redefining human purpose beyond traditional work. 35:00 Eli emphasizes creativity, connection, and human error as valuable, contrasting social media's dopamine loops with genuine human experience. 40:00 The episode closes with reflections on social currency, self-healing governance, and optimism about AI as a mirror of humanity.Key InsightsDemocracy is evolving beyond its limits. Eli Lopian argues that traditional democracy—one person, one vote—no longer fits an age where individuals have vastly different technological capacities. With AI empowering some to act with exponential influence, he suggests governance should evolve toward systems that are more adaptive, participatory, and continuous rather than episodic.AI-guided lawmaking could ensure fairness. Lopian's concept of AICracy imagines an AI system that drafts laws based on measurable outcomes like equity and happiness. Using what he calls the abundance measure, this system would assess how proposed laws affect societal well-being—balancing freedoms, security, and fairness across all citizens.Trust and accountability must be engineered. To prevent corruption or bias in AI governance, Lopian envisions three independent AIs—a coalition, an opposition, and an NGO—cross-verifying results and exposing inconsistencies. This triad ensures transparency and keeps human oversight meaningful.Governance should be organic, not mechanical. Drawing inspiration from cities, Lopian and Alsop compare governance to an ecosystem that adapts and self-corrects. Like urban growth, effective systems arise from real-world feedback, where successful ideas take root and failing ones fade away naturally.Truth requires new forms of verification. The pair discuss how lies spread faster than truth online and propose an algorithmic “speed of a lie” metric to flag misinformation. They connect this to prediction markets and feedback loops as potential ways to keep governance accountable to real-world outcomes.The abundance economy redefines purpose. As AI reduces the need for traditional jobs, Lopian imagines a society centered on creativity, mentorship, and personal fulfillment. Governments could guarantee access to mentors—human or AI—to help people discover their passions and contribute meaningfully without economic pressure.Human connection is the new currency. In contrast to social media's exploitation of human weakness, the future Lopian envisions values imperfection, authenticity, and shared experience. As AI automates production, what remains deeply human—emotion, error, and presence—becomes the most precious and sustaining form of wealth.

In this episode, veteran KBS journalist Bong-Seung Shin shares his experience reporting from North Korea and communicating with journalists on the ground in the country. Shin first traveled to Pyongyang in 2008, crossing the demilitarized zone by air as part of a trip organized by an NGO.

A decade later, in 2018, Shin led KBS coverage of inter-Korean events from Seoul, coordinating live broadcasts with his team stationed in Pyongyang. He explains how they managed to send footage, the professionalism of North Korean media workers and how journalists on both sides found common ground despite political barriers.
