Last night I got halfway through a Substack post on a related issue to some of the subjects that came up on my appearance on the Disintegrator podcast. When I went to link to it, it suddenly dawned on me I had only shared it on the Rune Soup Premium Members Mighty Network. (Join below.) So here it is! We recorded this soon after my arrival in Paraguay, so I think it was early February. It's an excellent discussion, so I'm pulling an Alex Hormozi and sharing it with my own listeners. (Sub to Disintegrator, too.) Here is why AI thinks you should listen: In this high-energy episode I sit down with Marek and Roberto to talk about why barrels are meant for rolling and why reality is much bigger than the academic cubicles that try to contain it. We start with the ancient tale of the Watchers (the OG tech-bros from the Book of Enoch) and use it to kick open a door marked Technology, Magic & the Human Experiment. From there we dive straight into animism, the “community-of-beings” cosmos, and why a living universe renders most hand-wringing over “anthropocentrism” moot unless you're prepared to vault clean out of the academy's marble-floored worldview. What you'll hear me unpack Barrel-Rolling Out of Academia – how to exit the cathedral politely, become “invincible,” and treat academic credentials like LinkedIn endorsements in a living cosmos. Markets, Magic & Capitalism – capitalism viewed as a resonant tool of a larger Ahrimanic being; why the market is archetypal, but turning it up to 120 % comes with karmic interest. Mineral Intelligence & AI – awakening the silica, ayahuasca visions of stones teaching in a galactic lecture hall, and why “artificial” intelligence might be a mis-nomer in an ensouled universe. Comparative ≠ Colonial – embracing perspectivism (à la Viveiros de Castro) as the clean way to decolonise knowledge without the usual Protestant guilt trip. Astrology & World Politics – the U.S. Pluto/Uranus returns, fourth-turning turbulence, and the astrological case for an amicable national “divorce” over a civil war redux. Practical Magic – why Ouija boards, jungle dieta, and good old-fashioned ghost stories still outperform peer-reviewed PDFs when it comes to proving the universe is alive.  Join the world's leading online magical training community, Rune Soup, here.

It was the happiest place in the world.    “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”  -  Psalm 16:11 (NKJV) 

La vista y el sonido del Pájaro Campana, el ave nacional de Paraguay, inspiran asombro y alegría. Su presencia como especie indicadora y dispersora de semillas también es una buena señal de la salud del ecosistema en el Bosque Atlántico del Alto Paraná que se extiende desde el sudeste de Brasil a través del este de Paraguay y hasta el norte de Argentina. El canto fuerte y metálico del Pájaro Campana también inspira música que se toca con otro emblema de Paraguay: el arpa.Sus poblaciones se encuentran decreciendo y están consideradas como Casi Amenazadas debido a la pérdida de su hábitat y la captura para ser puestas en jaulas.Listen to this episode in English here. Más información y transcripción en BirdNote.org.¿Quieres más BirdNote?

Summary: Are Screamers in need of conservation? Join Kiersten to find out!   For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes: Screamers: https://animaldiversity.org Data Zone by Bird Life: https://datazone.birdlife.org IUCN Red List: https://www.iucnredlist.org American Bird Conservancy: https://abcbirds.org/bird/southern-screamer/ Asociacion Armonia: https://armoniabolivia.org Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This is the final episode of Screamers and we'll be talking about conservation. Like everything else with Screamers this episode will have a few twists. The tenth thing I like about Screamers is conservation. Each species has a story of it's own, so we'll take them one by one. Let's start off with the Southern Screamer. Southern Screamer, Chauna torquata, also known as the Crested Screamer is found from the eastern half of Bolivia south into Argentina as far as Buenos Ares Province and east through Paraguay into south western Brazil and Uruguay. The conservation status of the Southern Screamer is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as Least Concern. This means that Southern Screamer population numbers are steady or increasing. Their population trend is listed as stable with adult individuals estimated between 66,700 to 667,000 individuals. The last time this species was assessed was in 2024. This species of Screamer is impacted by habitat loss. As wild lands are drained and deforested to create more land for cattle ranching and farming, Southern Screamers lose vital habitat, but a 27,000 acre reserve created in 2008 by Asociacion Armonia to protect the Blue-throated Macaw had the added bonus of offering protected habitat to the Southern Screamer. Barba Azul Nature Reserve protects 250 species of birds and is an important stop over for migratory shorebirds.  If you are interested in seeing the Southern Screamer at the reserve you can book a conservation birding trip through American Bird Conservancy. All fees support the reserve and American Bird Conservancy's mission for protecting wild spaces for birds. Now there are other things keeping the Southern Screamer protected, this is the twist for this species, ranchers and farmers actually like having Southern Screamer nearby as they are excellent guard birds and raise the alarm when any predators come near. Sometimes people sneak a young Screamer away from the parents and keep them on their property for exactly that reason.  Southern Screamers have also been seen eating invasive plants species, such as white clover, which means they are helping their own conservation efforts.  The Northern Screamer, Chauna chavaria, also known as the Black-necked Screamer is in a similar situation as the Southern Screamer. This Screamer is found across northern Columbia from the Atrato River and Magdalena River valleys east into the Lake Maracaibo area of Venezuela. They are also under pressure from habitat destruction for ranching and agricultural use. As of the latest surveys in 2023, the Northern Screamer is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Their population is stable with 60,000 to 130,000 mature adults. Locally, in Columbia and Venezuela, they are listed as Vulnerable. Conservation efforts in these countries include educational campaigns bringing awareness to Northern Screamers and their importance in the local environment. Several preserves have also been established to help protect the wetland areas that these birds rely upon. Other threats to the Northern Screamer include egg collection by humans for use as food and collection of young for the local pet trade.  The last species of Screamer, the Horned Screamer, Anhima cornuta, is found in the Amazonian regions of Venezuela, to the eastern llanos of Columbia, to eastern Bolivia and south-central Brazil. Their latest assessment by the IUCN was in July of 2024 and they are currently listed as Least Concern with a stable mature adult population estimated between 16,700 to 66,700. There are not many conservation efforts in the region specifically aimed at the Horned Screamer, but there are established conservation sites throughout their range to prevent more wetlands from being drained for ranching needs.  The subcutaneous air sacs found in all three species of Screamer keep these birds from being on the menu internationally, but locally some people do hunt them for food. It is probably an acquired taste and you need to know how to prepare the meat just right to make it palatable.  It is nice to report on species that are still thriving in our ever changing world and I am glad to know that local conservation effort exists for all three species on Screamers. Thank you so much for joining me for another series of Ten Things I Like About… I learned a lot about the Screamer as I wrote this series and I hope you learned a lot by listening. My tenth favorite thing about Screamers is conservation. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  I will be taking a bit of a break at the beginning of summer, so join me again in July for a brand new series on an unknown or misunderstood creature.       (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

Ngày 07/05/2025, Việt Nam và Mỹ chính thức tiến hành phiên đàm phán đầu tiên về mức thuế 46% do tổng thống Trump áp đặt. Vừa đàm phán với thị trường lớn nhất, Hà Nội vừa khẩn trương tìm cách thúc đẩy xuất khẩu sang 17 thị trường đã ký các hiệp định thương mại tự do, mở rộng thêm đối tác, trong đó có Brazil. Cả hai nước muốn giảm phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào một đối tác : Đối với Brazil là Trung Quốc và với Việt Nam là Mỹ, đồng thời hỗ trợ thâm nhập thị trường khu vực của nhau ASEAN và Mercosur.Mở rộng thị trường với BrazilViệt Nam và Brazil ký Kế hoạch hành động triển khai quan hệ Đối tác chiến lược giai đoạn 2025-2030 sau khi nâng cấp vào tháng 11/2024. Trong chuyến công du Hà Nội ngày 28/03/2025, tổng thống Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva khẳng định “kế hoạch này sẽ giúp chúng tôi tiến triển trong nhiều lĩnh vực”. Cả hai nước còn nhiều tiềm năng, biên độ phát triển để thúc đẩy hợp tác trong nhiều lĩnh vực, theo giải thích của nhà báo Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của đài RFI :“Điều đáng chú ý là với Kế hoạch hành động triển khai quan hệ Đối tác chiến lược giai đoạn 2025-2030, mối quan hệ đối tác rất rộng rãi, bao gồm kinh tế, quốc phòng, nông nghiệp và an ninh lương thực, cũng như các vấn đề liên quan đến môi trường và cuộc chiến chống biến đổi khí hậu. Ông Lula công bố quyết định của Brazil công nhận Quy chế kinh tế thị trường của Việt Nam để tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho dòng đầu tư và phát triển thương mại.Về thương mại, tổng thống Lula cũng đề cập đến việc mở cửa thị trường Việt Nam về thịt và khả năng Việt Nam trở thành trung tâm khu vực về chế biến thịt của Brazil, qua đó tạo điều kiện tiếp cận thị trường châu Á. Brazil có thể xuất khẩu các sản phẩm có giá trị gia tăng cao hơn sang Việt Nam, bao gồm máy bay Embraer - loại máy bay tầm trung. Tham vọng rất là lớn : năm 2024, kim ngạch thương mại giữa hai nước đạt 7,7 tỷ đô la. Mục tiêu chung là đạt 15 tỷ đô la vào năm 2030”.Theo trang web chính phủ Brazil, Việt Nam là nguồn nhập khẩu lớn nhất trong ASEAN và là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ 14 thế giới của Brazil. Brazil xuất khẩu sang Việt Nam nhiều hơn sang Bồ Đào Nha, Anh Quốc, Pháp hoặc Paraguay. Việt Nam là khách hàng lớn thứ 5 cho xuất khẩu nông sản của Brazil, ví dụ Brazil cung cấp đến 70% lượng đậu nành nhập khẩu của Việt Nam, khoảng 37% lượng thịt lợn và là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ hai cho Việt Nam về gia cầm và bông.Tầm quan trọng của Việt Nam, cũng như sự quan tâm của chính phủ Brazil được thông tín viên RFI - ban Brazil Vivian Osvald tại Rio de Janeiro giải thích :“Việt Nam là một quốc gia châu Á quan trọng. Đây không chỉ là một quốc gia mới nổi mà còn là thành viên của ASEAN, Hiệp hội các quốc gia Đông Nam Á, mà Brazil cũng muốn xích lại gần hơn. Có khả năng ông Lula sẽ được mời tham dự hội nghị thượng đỉnh ASEAN năm nay.Kim ngạch thương mại song phương với Việt Nam đạt khoảng 8 tỷ đô la mỗi năm. Con số này trông có vẻ không đáng kể, nhưng lại lớn hơn trao đổi thương mại với một số nước châu Âu. Ông Lula là tổng thống Brazil đầu tiên đến thăm Việt Nam vào năm 2007.Mục đích của chuyến công du là tăng cường mối quan hệ. Việt Nam nhập khẩu nhiều mặt hàng từ Brazil như đậu nành, ngô và bông và xuất khẩu sang Brazil đồ điện tử, lốp xe, quần áo và giày dép”.Đọc thêmCúp bóng đá Đông Nam Á: Cầu thủ gốc Brazil trở thành niềm hy vọng của tuyển Việt NamVề phía Việt Nam, theo báo chính phủ, tính lũy kế đến tháng 10/2024, Brazil có 7 dự án đầu tư vào Việt Nam với tổng vốn đăng ký 3,85 triệu đô la, chủ yếu trong lĩnh vực công nghiệp chế tạo, bán buôn và bán lẻ, hoạt động chuyên môn khoa học công nghệ. Trong khuôn khổ chuyến công du của tổng thống Lula, hãng đóng gói thịt JBS của Brazil đã ký biên bản ghi nhớ về một thỏa thuận đầu tư trị giá 100 triệu đô la xây dựng hai nhà máy đóng gói thịt ở Việt Nam, chủ yếu là đóng gói thịt thô nhập từ Brazil phân phối cho thị trường Việt Nam và khu vực.Ngoài bóng đá, cà phê cũng là một lĩnh vực khác được chính phủ Brazil nhấn mạnh để tăng cường quan hệ giữa hai nước, cũng là hai nhà sản xuất cà phê lớn nhất thế giới, nghiên cứu giống cây trồng có khả năng chống chịu tốt hơn với tác động của biến đổi khí hậu. Tổng thống Lula khẳng định : “Việt Nam có thể hưởng lợi từ Quỹ Rừng nhiệt đới vĩnh cửu (Fundo Florestas Tropicais para Sempre) do Brazil đề xuất và được đánh giá cao về những nỗ lực bảo vệ môi trường”.Cổ vũ cho “không liên kết” và hợp tác “đa phương”Trang Foreign Policy ngày 28/03 nhận định vòng công du hai nước châu Á Nhật Bản và Việt Nam của tổng thống Lula cho thấy rõ hoạt động đối ngoại đa phương, không liên kết của Brazil, trái ngược với chính sách bảo hộ của tổng thống Donald Trump của Hoa Kỳ, đối tác thương mại lớn thứ hai của Brasilia. Brazil không bị áp mức thuế đối ứng cao như Việt Nam nhưng cũng chịu mức thuế chung đối với nhôm, thép nhập khẩu vào Mỹ. Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của RFI, nhận định :“Cách tiếp cận đa dạng hóa thị trường này đến đúng lúc Mỹ áp dụng mức thuế mới là 25% đối với thép và nhôm và 10% đối với tất cả các sản phẩm khác. Brazil, là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ hai cho Hoa Kỳ, đang tìm cách giảm sự phụ thuộc vào thị trường Mỹ song song với việc tiếp tục đàm phán với Washington để tìm giải pháp cho các mức thuế bị áp đặt. Ví dụ, tại Tokyo, tổng thống Lula tuyên bố ông sẽ đi đầu để giúp thúc đẩy hiệp định thương mại tự do giữa Nhật Bản và khối Mercosur, khối bao gồm Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay và Uruguay”.Đọc thêmBrazil trở thành quốc gia BRICS thứ hai không tham gia dự án BRI của Trung QuốcNgoài ra, giống như Việt Nam, Brazil cũng bị phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào đối tác Trung Quốc trong những năm gần đây và có thể đẩy Brazil vào thế nguy hiểm, dễ bị tác động hơn trong bối cảnh chiến tranh thương mại Mỹ-Trung. Do đó, Brazil tự vệ bằng cách phát triển quan hệ với nhiều nước châu Á khác, theo giải thích của nhà báo Elcio Ramalho :“Chuyến đi này rất quan trọng vì Brazil đang tìm kiếm đối tác thay thế để đối phó với chủ nghĩa bảo hộ của Mỹ. Đáng chú ý là tổng thống Lula đi cùng với một phái đoàn lớn các chính trị gia, chủ tịch Hạ viện và Thượng viện, cũng như các doanh nhân và giám đốc công ty.Việc lựa chọn Nhật Bản và Việt Nam được giải thích bởi tiềm năng thương mại của hai nước và cũng chứng minh tầm quan trọng mà Brazil dành cho khu vực châu Á và để tránh sự phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào Trung Quốc, đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Brazil. Đối với Nhật Bản, việc mở cửa thị trường thịt bò Brazil đang bị thách thức”.Tiếp cận thị trường khu vực của nhau thông qua đối tácTại Hà Nội, tổng thống Brazil khẳng định mong muốn làm cầu nối đưa Việt Nam đến khối Mercosur và Nam Mỹ và cũng coi Việt Nam là cầu nối giữa Brazil và thị trường ASEAN với hơn 600 triệu dân. Theo ông Lula, Mỹ latinh và ASEAN là hai khu vực năng động, góp phần hình thành trật tự thế giới đa cực. GDP của thị trường chung Nam Mỹ Mercosur và ASEAN lần lượt đạt khoảng 2.800 tỷ đô la và 3.800 tỷ đô la, cho thấy tầm quan trọng của hai khu vực trên trường quốc tế.Thủ tướng Việt Nam Phạm Minh Chính cũng đề nghị chính phủ Brazil ủng hộ, thúc đẩy sớm khởi động đàm phán FTA giữa Việt Nam và Mercosur. Khối Thị trường Chung Nam Mỹ - Mercosur (thành lập ngày 26/03/1991) hiện có 4 nước thành viên thường trực Achentina, Brazil, Paraguay và Uruguay sau khi Venezuela bị đình chỉ tư cách thành viên năm 2017. Các nước Colombia, Chilê, Pêru, Bolivia và Ecuador, Guyana và Suriname có tư cách thành viên liên kết.Liệu Hà Nội có thể dựa vào Brazil để chinh phục các thị trường xuất khẩu mới ? Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của đài RFI, nhận định : “Là nước giữ chủ tịch Mercosur từ tháng 07/2025, Brazil sẽ nỗ lực hướng tới một thỏa thuận cân bằng với Việt Nam. Hơn nữa, Brazil đã mời Việt Nam tham dự hội nghị thượng đỉnh BRICS vào tháng 7 tại Rio de Janeiro và COP30 tại Belém, cho thấy mong muốn đưa Việt Nam vào các diễn đàn đa phương này nhiều hơn nữa và điều này có thể mở ra những cơ hội xuất khẩu mới cho Hà Nội”.Đọc thêmTại sao Việt Nam không phản hồi lời mời trở thành "quốc gia đối tác" của BRICS ?Bài học từ mức thuế 46% do tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đơn phương áp đặt buộc Việt Nam cơ cấu lại sản xuất, thúc đẩy tiêu dùng… và tránh “không bị phụ thuộc vào bất cứ đối tác nào” bằng cách thúc đẩy mở rộng, đa dạng hóa thị trường xuất khẩu thông qua các hiệp định thương mại tự do (FTA), được thủ tướng Phạm Minh Chính nhấn mạnh là “cánh cửa quan trọng kết nối Việt Nam với thế giới”.Việt Nam hiện có 17 FTA, trong đó có nhiều hiệp định với các khu vực như với Liên minh Kinh tế Á-Âu (EAEU), Hiệp định Đối tác Toàn diện và Tiến bộ xuyên Thái Bình Dương (CPTPP), Liên Hiệp Châu Âu (EVFTA), Hiệp định Đối tác Kinh tế Toàn diện Khu vực (RECEP)… và đang đàm phán hai FTA mới : EFTA (gồm Thụy Sĩ, Na Uy, Iceland, Liechtenstein) và ASEAN-Canada. Theo thủ tướng Việt Nam, các FTA đã mang lại hiệu quả, năm 2024, tổng kim ngạch xuất nhập khẩu đạt gần 800 tỷ đô la.Song song với những hiệp định thương mại, Việt Nam không ngừng thắt chặt hợp tác thương mại với các nước đối tác để giữ vững mục tiêu tăng trưởng 8% trong năm 2025. Điều này được thể hiện qua số chuyến công du nước ngoài của các nhà lãnh đạo Việt Nam cũng như những chuyến thăm cấp Nhà nước đến Việt Nam như Nga, Bỉ, Hà Lan, Tây Ban Nha, Trung Quốc, Nhật Bản… Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron dự kiến đến thăm Việt Nam vào cuối tháng 05.

In this Expat Money Show episode, I don't hold back. I'm going to tell you the truth about what's really happening in Canada, and why I believe it's no longer a place where you can build wealth or secure a future for your family. As someone born and raised in Canada, I've watched the country unravel. After visiting over 100 countries and planting roots in Panama, I can confidently say that it's time to leave. This isn't hyperbole, it's economic reality. From confiscatory taxes to a state-run suicide program, the Canadian government is accelerating its war on prosperity. I break down the numbers, expose the agenda, and give you a real path forward. It's time to craft your Plan-B while you still can. . . IN TODAY'S EPISODE: Discover why Canada's capital gains hike to 66.6% is more than symbolism—it's economic warfare. Learn how taxation, red tape, and public vilification have made Canada hostile to productivity. Hear why the Canadian dollar is failing by design, not by accident. Understand the truth behind the government's own 2040 foresight report, and why it reads like a suicide note. Explore the real story behind MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) and how it exposes the welfare state's collapse. Examine why voting won't save Canadians, no matter the party—Carney vs. Poilievre is just theatre. See how universal basic income, CBDCs, and climate lockdowns are being preconditioned as “solutions.” Discover the best places to build a new life—Panama, Paraguay, and Costa Rica—and why they welcome expats.

Colin Crabbe was the kind of man who could spot a priceless vintage car under a pile of chicken wire in Paraguay — and somehow drive it home. A flamboyant racing driver, Formula One team owner, and classic car hunter with a taste for adventure (and a knack for trouble), Colin lived life in the fast lane — sometimes literally. From smuggling D-type Jaguars out of Cuba to crashing out of races in style, his stories were as wild as you could imagine.I was lucky enough to interview Colin back in 2022, right here in our little village in Lincolnshire. With his passing earlier this year, it felt only right to bring that conversation back — this time as one extended episode. It's funny, chaotic, moving, and full of Colin's unmistakable charm. He'll be sorely missed by his family, our community, and classic car lovers around the world. But what a ride he had.Colin Crabbe, motor-racing driver and entrepreneur.

An enthralling tour of the world's rarest and most endangered languages Languages and cultures are becoming increasingly homogenous, with the resulting loss of a rich linguistic tapestry reflecting unique perspectives and ways of life.  Rare Tongues: The Secret Stories of Hidden Languages (Princeton University Press, 2025) tells the stories of the world's rare and vanishing languages, revealing how each is a living testament to human resilience, adaptability, and the perennial quest for identity. Taking readers on a captivating journey of discovery, Lorna Gibb explores the histories of languages under threat or already extinct as well as those in resurgence, shedding light on their origins, development, and distinctive voices. She travels the globe—from Australia and Finland to India, the Canary Islands, Namibia, Scotland, and Paraguay—showing how these languages are not mere words and syntax but keepers of diverse worldviews, sites of ethnic conflict, and a means for finding surprising commonalities. Readers learn the basics of how various language systems work—with vowels and consonants, whistles and clicks, tonal inflections, or hand signs—and how this kaleidoscope of self-expression carries vital information about our planet, indigenous cultures and tradition, and the history and evolution of humankind. Rare Tongues is essential reading for anyone concerned about the preservation of endangered languages and an eloquent and disarmingly personal meditation on why the world's linguistic heritage is so fundamental to our shared experience—and why its loss should worry us all.

En l'espace de deux semaines, les services frontaliers canadiens ont enregistré plus de 2 000 demandes d'asile. Ils fuient les États-Unis, hantés par la peur d'être renvoyés dans leur pays d'origine : pour devancer l'administration Trump, qui menace de révoquer leur statut de résident temporaire sur le sol américain, de plus en plus d'Haïtiens prennent la route du Canada. Car même si la décision des autorités américaines a été suspendue par la justice, la crainte d'un retour forcé suffit à les pousser à franchir la frontière. Reportage de notre correspondante, Nafi Alibert.L'œil de Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du NouvellisteLe patron du plus ancien quotidien de Port-au-Prince revient cette semaine sur les violences qui ont coûté la vie à cinq membres d'un groupe d'autodéfense dans le quartier de Pacot. Les gangs ont aussi accentué la pression depuis quelques semaines sur la commune de Mirebalais, et le niveau de violence est tel que l'hôpital universitaire ferme ses portes jusqu'à nouvel ordre. Fermeture déplorée par le Premier ministre haïtien, ainsi que celle de l'Hôtel Marriott, forcé de fermer ses portes lui aussi à cause de l'insécurité.Tous les articles du Nouvelliste disponibles à cette adresse : lenouvelliste.com Les coulisses glaçantes de la production de café au BrésilLe Brésil produit près de 40% du café mondial, mais dans quelles conditions ? C'est ce qu'El Pais et le Guardian nous racontent, et c'est effrayant. Selon les données de l'Inspection du travail brésilienne, entre 1996 et 2003, 3 700 personnes ont été victimes de « pratiques assimilables à de l'esclavage » dans les plantations de café : journées de travail de douze heures sans repos hebdomadaire, ouvriers forcés d'acheter leurs propres outils pour travailler, logements insalubres, mauvais traitements...Si ces pratiques ressortent aujourd'hui, c'est que des employés brésiliens de la filière café ont assigné Starbucks en justice aux États-Unis cette semaine. La chaîne américaine est désignée complice par les parties civiles de ces traitements dégradants, car elle s'est fournie pendant des années auprès de ces fermes. Les victimes estiment que l'entreprise a fermé les yeux alors que des alertes ont régulièrement été émises, y compris par les services sociaux au Brésil. Elles demandent un procès et des dommages et intérêts pour travail forcé, traite d'êtres humains, enrichissement sans cause et négligence. L'ONG International Rights Advocates qui soutient la procédure, lâche cette charge au vitriol : « Starbucks fait payer 6 dollars la tasse de café, alors qu'il a été récolté de force, y compris par des enfants. Tout cela dépasse la qualification d'acte criminel. C'est moralement répugnant ». Pourquoi le pape François n'a-t-il jamais remis les pieds sur sa terre natale argentine ? François, Jorge Mario Bergoglio de son vrai nom, archevêque de Buenos Aires lorsqu'il est devenu pape, n'y est jamais retourné durant ses douze années de papauté. Il a bien visité quatre des pays qui entourent l'Argentine (Brésil, Chili, Paraguay, Bolivie) mais n'est jamais revenu à la maison. Ses admirateurs cités par la BBC y voient un dévouement total à l'Église dans son ensemble, un signe qui n'était pas seulement attaché à son peuple et à son pays. Ça ne l'empêchait pas pour autant de rester connecté à l'actualité locale : dans ses échanges avec ses proches restés au pays, François suivait le foot argentin de très près, le tango aussi, et se montrait très attaché à sa culture. Alors pourquoi pas ? « J'aimerais aller en Argentine, disait-il encore l'an dernier. Mais il y a encore des choses à régler ». Manière papale de dire qu'une visite dans son pays d'origine aurait été un peu trop politique, vu l'extrême polarisation qui régit la sphère publique. Le pape François s'était d'ailleurs écharpé publiquement avec Javier Milei, qui l'avait vilipendé pour sa défense des plus pauvres. Mais au-delà de la majorité actuelle, François ne voulait pas, selon ses biographes, que tel ou tel président argentin se vante d'avoir fait revenir le pape chez lui. Compréhensible, mais regrettable pour bien des fidèles rencontrés en Argentine par le New York Times. « S'il était revenu, sourit l'entre eux, le pape a lui tout seul aurait fait l'effet d'une Coupe du monde de football ». L'actualité des Outre-mer avec nos confrères de la 1èreLes croisières ont le vent en poupe en Martinique.

As any parent knows, it is really important to help our children to make healthy food choices. I know as a father who cooks for my child, it is really critical that I introduce her to fruits and vegetables and encourage whole grains and try to manage the amount of additional sugars, but it's hard. We do this with the goal of trying to make sure that our child is able to eat healthy once she leaves the home. That she's able to make healthy choices there. But it's not just about the future. My child is making choices even today at school and outside of school, and the question is, can we help her make those choices that are going to lead to healthy food outcomes? Do food labels on products encourage children to make healthy food choices if it indicates good ingredients? Or would labels that warn against nutrients of concern actually discourage kids from using those or consuming those products? Today we're going to actually explore those questions in a particular context- in Chile. In 2016, the Chilean government implemented a comprehensive set of obesity prevention policies aimed at improving the food environment for children. Last year on this podcast, we actually explored how the Chilean food laws affected school food purchases. But now today, we're going to explore how food labels are influencing youth outside of school. It is my pleasure to welcome back my colleagues, Gabriela Fretes, who is an associate research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute, or IFPRI; and Sean Cash, who is an economist and chair of the Division of Agriculture, food and Environment at Tufts University at the Friedman School of Nutrition, Science and Policy. Interview Summary Gabi and Sean, I'm excited to discuss our new paper, Front of Pack Labels and Young Consumers an Experimental Investigation of Nutrition and Sustainability Claims in Chile that was recently published in a Journal of Food Quality and Preference. Gabi, let's begin with you. So why look at Chile? Can you explain the focus of the Chilean labeling and food environment policies there? So, the setting of our study, as in the previous study, was Chile because recently the country implemented the law of food labeling and advertising, which includes three main components. The first one being mandatory front of package warning labels on packaged goods and beverages. The second one being restrictions on all forms of food marketing directed to children younger than 14 years. So, including printed media, broadcast, and also all digital media. And the third component being at school regulations at different levels including preschool, elementary, and high school levels. Briefly, food manufacturers in Chile must place front of package labels on packaged foods or beverages that are high in specific nutrients of concern, including added sugars, saturated fats, sodium, and or energy. This law was implemented in three stages, starting in June 2016. The last stage was implemented in June 2019. So, it has been already six or seven years since the full implementation of the regulation. Specifically talking about the school component because this, yeah, it relates to children and adolescents. The law mandates that foods and beverages with at least one front of pack warning label cannot be sold, promoted, or marketed inside schools. And this includes the cafeteria, the school kiosks, and even events that are happening inside the schools. And additionally, food and beverages that have at least one front pack warning label cannot be offered as part of school meal programs. In addition to this front of pack warning label regulation, Chile also implemented voluntary eco labels starting in 2022 that provide information about the recyclability of food packages specifically. There is a certification process behind this labeling regulation and the eco label can be displayed if the food or beverage package is at least 80% recyclable. Wow. This is a really comprehensive set of policies to encourage healthier food choices, both at the school and then also outside of the school. I'm excited to discuss further what this may do to food choices among children. Sean, that really brings up the question, why is it important to look at young consumers and their food choices and what makes them unique compared to adults? Thanks for asking Norbert. This is an area where I've been interested in for a while. You know, young consumers play a crucial role in shaping the demand for food and long-term dietary habits. And young consumers might be more open to incorporating dietary advice into those long-term habits than adults might be. Just perhaps kids are less set in their ways. Children and adolescents are both current, but also future consumers with growing autonomy in what they choose around food as they get older. To marketers, we sometimes would say they might represent a three-in-one market. First, they spend their own money on snacks. What you could think of as the primary market. And how children spend money autonomously is really something that hasn't been studied enough by researchers. Although it's an area where I have tried to make a contribution. Second, kids influence household purchases. This is sometimes called pester power. You can think of a kid in the supermarket begging a parent to buy a favorite snack or a certain brand of cereal. But this can also be more socially positive in that kids might be agents of change within their households. Encouraging perhaps other family members to buy healthier food items if they get more interested in that. And third, this three-in-one market is rounded out by the fact that children represent future purchasing power as future adults. So, the habits that they're forming now might influence what they do when they're older. Despite this importance for marketers, but also for pro-social behavior change, there really hasn't been a lot of research on youth food purchasing behaviors. And this question that we are looking at here of how kids might respond to front to package labels has been particularly limited. In this project, we wanted to understand how Chilean adolescents might respond both to nutrition warning labels, but also eco labels, and how they consider price when choosing snacks. We were lucky to be able to recruit a sample of over 300 kids, aged 10 to 14, to participate in these experiments. I know we're going to chat a bit more about what we found, but in general, our results suggest that while price is perhaps the biggest factor in explaining what the kids chose in our experiment, that some of these youth showed preferences for the eco labels, which could be indicative of an emerging interest in sustainability issues. But overall, understanding these behaviors is really important because the food choices made during childhood and adolescence can persist in adulthood. And this can be really something that helps change long-term health outcomes.   Gabi, let's talk a little bit more about eco labels for a moment. What are they, and how do these echo labels influence children's snack choices? What did they tell us about their awareness of sustainability? That's a great question, Norbert. Thanks. In our study specifically, we found that eco labels, had a greater influence on adolescents' snack choices than nutrition warning labels these black and white octagons that are displayed on the front of the package of products in Chile. And this suggests that some young consumers are becoming more aware of environmental issues, or at least in our sample. One possible explanation for this could be that eco labels suggest positive emotions rather than warnings, as with the nutrition labels. Which might feel more restrictive. Unlike the nutrition labels that tell consumers what not to eat, eco labels, on the other hand, highlight a product's benefits, making it more appealing. This could be one of the reasons. Related to that, adolescents may also associate eco-friendly products with social responsibility aligning with increasing youth-driven environmental movements that are very prevalent around the world. However, not all adolescents in our sample responded equally to the eco labels that were presented to them in the snacks. Our study specifically found that those who receive pocket money were more likely to choose eco label snacks. And this could be possibly because they have more autonomy over their purchases and their personal values could be playing a bigger role in their choices. If eco labels are really influencing children and adolescents with choices, one intervention that could be potentially beneficial could be to incorporate sustainability messaging in school food and nutrition education in order to reinforce those positive behaviors. And make them part of the daily food choices that they make. In making sustainable food more affordable, government incentives or retailer promotions could encourage youth to choose more eco-friendly snacks. Given that price, as we saw in our study, remains a key factor for choice. Lastly, not all eco labels are created equal. And this suggests that clear standardization and regulation are needed to prevent misleading claims. And ensure that adolescents receive accurate information about the sustainability of their food choices. Ultimately, the eco labeling, of course, is not a silver bullet. It's not going to solve all the environmental issues, but it represents a promising tool to nudge consumers. So our better dietary and environmental behaviors. Gabi, you talked about how the eco labels have a bigger effect than nutrition warning. And overall, the nutrition warning labels didn't really have that big of an effect on snack food choices. Why do you think that's the case? Yes, this was really one surprising finding in our study. That front of pack nutrition warning labels did not significantly impact children's and adolescents' snack choices. And this kind of contradicts some previous research suggesting that warning labels can help consumers make healthcare choices. And there are several possible explanations for why this could be happening. The first one could be just lack of interest. So compared to adults, children and adolescents may be just more responsive to positive rather than negative messaging. Because negative messages related to nutrition might not seem relevant to them because they feel healthy in the present. They just are not interested in those kinds of messages. The second could be label fatigue. We discuss this in our paper and basically it is because Chile's regulation was already introduced in 2016. Given that it has been already some time since implementation, young consumers may have become habituated to seeing the warning labels on food products. So, like how adults also experience label fatigue, and this is documented in the evidence, children and adolescents might no longer pay attention or pay less attention to the warning. Third possible explanation is it relates to taste and brand loyalty. For this point, research shows that for youth specifically, taste remains the top priority when they choose food. So often outweighing any other factors including health concerns. If a favorite snack, for example, has warning labels but remains tasty and familiar to the kid, the label alone may not discourage them from choosing that snack. And lastly, social and environmental factors. Our study found, as we already mentioned, that eco labels had a stronger influence that nutrition warnings, and this could indicate that children and adolescents are just more responsive to messages about sustainability than to warnings, which they may perceive as less immediate. Thank you for sharing that. And at this moment in the US there is a conversation about front of pack labels. And the work that you are showing in this paper may even point to some of the things that may happen if we see similar front of pack labels here in the US. I'll be looking forward to see what happens with that effort right now. Sean, I want to turn to you and ask an economist type question. What role does price play in adolescent food choices? Not only price, but the availability of pocket money? And how do you think that should influence policy? Our study shows that price is the most significant factor influencing the snack choices of the kids in our study. And higher prices definitely reduce the likelihood of seeing a certain product being selected. It was kind of interesting. Interestingly, this effect was consistent regardless of whether the kids regularly received pocket money. Suggesting that even those that don't receive spending money still are paying attention to price. And this was a little bit different from what we found in some other studies that I've been able to work on, in the US and Germany, that suggested that previous experience with pocket money, or getting an allowance, was really important for understanding which kids might be most careful about spending their own money. I don't know if that's something different in the Chilean context than those other contexts. Or if that was just about what the kids in this particular study were paying attention to because we're asking about different things. But when we look more closely at the kids in our Chilean study, we found some important differences. As Gabi already mentioned, those kids who received pocket money were the ones who were more positively inclined to choosing products with the eco labels. And that suggests that they might be valuing sustainability a little bit more when making their own choices. Perhaps because they're already a little bit more familiar with some of those dynamics of spending their own money. Whereas those without pocket money were more likely to choose cheaper options or sometimes the healthier options like the apples that we provided as an option in our study. And suggesting they're focused more on affordability or health. So, what this means for policy, given the strong influence of price, it means that policy interventions that focus on price, like taxes on unhealthy foods or perhaps subsidies for healthier options, might be effective tools in guiding better choices for these kids. But also, programs promoting budgeting skills and food literacy might help adolescents make more informed decisions both about the nutrition and the sustainability of the foods they're eating. Finally, since some kids are responding positively to eco labels, integrating sustainability messages with the nutrition education could enhance the impact of food labeling policies. Overall, combining price policies and education labeling strategies could be really effective in driving meaningful changes in children and adolescent food choices. Sean, thank you. And it's really important to appreciate the differences that may occur when we think about a country like Chile versus the US or in some of your other work in Germany. And understanding that youth culture may be different and may be shaping these behaviors. But it's very clear that all people, it sounds like, are responding to price. And that's a constant that we're seeing here. Sean, here's my final question for you. What is the take home implications of this study? Well, first and foremost, our findings here suggest that nutrition labeling alone isn't necessarily going to be enough to drive healthier choices among children and adolescents. It can be part of an answer, but policymakers looking to promote healthier food choices might need to compliment labeling with education campaigns that reinforce the meaning of these warnings and integrate them into school-based nutrition programs. That said, I think that Chile has already been a leader in this regard, because the food items that get the warning labels in the Chilean context are the same ones that are subject to different restrictions on marketing or sales in schools, as well. I do think that we're going to see kids and eventually adults just become more familiar with these categorizations because of the consistency in the Chilean law. Also, on the eco label side, leveraging that kind of eco labeling alongside nutrition messaging might be an effective combination to help promote both healthier and more sustainable food choices. And finally we've been talking about new front to pack labeling schemes here in the United States. And it's really important to make sure we learn as much as possible from the experiences with such policies in other countries. Chile's really been a world leader in this regard and so I'm very happy to have tried to contribute to an understanding of how people use these labels through this study and through some of the other projects that Gabi, you and I have all been involved in.

In this episode, I explore the shifting landscape of conspiracy culture and what I've been noticing about an emerging "conspiracy canon." Recording from my new apartment in Paraguay, I dive into observations from my recent event with Greg Carlwood in Florida, examining how conspiracy thinking has evolved from political analysis to metaphysical questioning. Using Charles Fort's framework of "dominants," I discuss how we're witnessing a paradigm shift toward a more meaning-centered worldview as a response to scientific materialism. Whether you consider yourself a conspiracy person or not, this episode offers insights into epistemology, metaphysics, and our relationship to meaning in the cosmos.
