Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 20 février 2026.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Matthias Fekl, avocat et ancien ministre de l'Intérieur.Antoine Foucher, président de la société de conseil Quintet, spécialiste des questions sociales.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.APRÈS MUNICH, PEUT-ON DIRE QUE LA DOCTRINE INTERNATIONALE DE TRUMP A CHANGÉ ?Du 13 au 15 février, le gotha des chefs d'État, généraux et chefs des services de renseignement s'est retrouvé lors de la 62ème conférence de Munich sur la sécurité qui se tient tous les ans dans la ville allemande au mois de février. Un an après le discours agressif vis-à-vis de l'Europe du vice-président JD Vance, les États-Unis ont envoyé à Munich des figures jugées plus modérées : le secrétaire d'État Marco Rubio et le sous-secrétaire à la Défense Eldridge Colby. Récemment, en présentant sa nouvelle Stratégie de sécurité nationale, le président américain s'était livré à une attaque en règle contre les Européens, menacés selon lui d'un « effacement civilisationnel ».Dans la première partie de son discours, prononcé le 14 février, Marco Rubio a d'abord « rassuré », en affirmant la permanence d'un lien transatlantique façonné par l'histoire et l'héritage culturel. Le chef de la diplomatie américaine a préféré citer la bière allemande, Beethoven et les Beatles plutôt que les Lumières, mais il a dit ce que cette assemblée voulait entendre : « La fin de l'ère transatlantique n'est ni notre but ni notre souhait. Nous serons toujours des enfants de l'Europe. »Puis, dans une seconde partie Marco Rubio a repris les thèmes de l'idéologie MAGA (« Make America Great Again »). Tout en prônant la revitalisation du lien avec une Europe « forte », le secrétaire d'État américain n'a pas changé de cap sur la menace qui, selon son administration, plane sur l'Occident. Les États-Unis sont « prêts, si nécessaire, à agir seuls », mais « nous préférons et espérons agir avec vous, nos amis ici en Europe », a-t-il assuré. Reflet de l'idéologie MAGA, Marco Rubio a énuméré les maux qui selon Washington accablent l'Europe : l'« immigration de masse » qui « déstabilise les sociétés », la « désindustrialisation », le développement intempestif de « l'État providence » et le « culte du climat ». Il a invité les Européens à s'associer aux efforts de M. Trump de redressement de « la civilisation occidentale » et prononcé un éloge marqué de la chrétienté. Par ailleurs, le responsable américain a réitéré la position de l'administration Trump selon laquelle l'ONU n'a joué « pratiquement aucun rôle » dans la résolution des conflits et a appelé à une réforme des institutions mondiales.Pour la presse allemande et française, le message de Marco Rubio ne différait pas tellement de celui du vice-président J. D. Vance. Si le ton était plus courtois, le fond du discours des responsables américains en revanche n'a guère changé. D'ailleurs, après Munich, Marco Rubio est allé soutenir des partenaires plus réceptifs à l'idéologie MAGA et plus rétifs aux valeurs européennes, en Slovaquie puis en Hongrie.DÉCLASSEMENT ÉCONOMIQUE FRANÇAIS : RÉALITÉ, PERCEPTION, PERSPECTIVESPour la troisième année consécutive, selon l'Insee, le PIB par habitant de la France se situe en dessous de la moyenne de l'Union européenne, consacrant un déclassement économique progressif mais désormais tangible. La France se situe au 34ème rang mondial et est désormais inférieure de 7 % à la moyenne européenne. Elle est notamment en retrait de 25 % par rapport à celle du Danemark, de 20 % par rapport à celle de la Suède, de 15 % par rapport à celle de l'Allemagne, de 0,5 % par rapport à celle de l'Italie. Par ailleurs, l'écart favorable vis-à-vis de la Pologne a été réduit de 60 % à 20 % depuis 2000. En clair, le niveau de vie des Français est bien inférieur à celui des Irlandais, des Allemands, des Belges et à peine supérieur à celui des Italiens, des Tchèques ou des Slovènes.Des données qui corroborent le dernier sondage Ipsos-BVA sur les « Fractures françaises » publié en octobre dans lequel 90 % des personnes interrogées ont le sentiment que le pays est en déclin, 32 % estimant même que celui-ci est irréversible. Dans le sondage Odoxa pour Challenges-Agipi-BFM Business du 8 janvier, 82 % des Français se montrent « défiants » sur la situation économique du pays. Avec de tels résultats, « la peur du déclassement atteint un niveau record », note Odoxa. 6 Français sur 10 estiment que leur situation sociale est pire que celles de leurs parents et 70% des 1.005 sondés parient que leurs enfants vivront moins bien qu'eux. C'est 3 points de plus qu'il y a un an et 22 de plus qu'il y a 30 ans. Ces résultats rejoignent les dernières enquêtes de conjoncture de l'Insee, selon lesquelles 64 % des Français ont une vue négative de l'avenir économique du pays. Il y a quelques années, ils n'étaient « que » 38 %. Cependant, l'enquête de l'Insee révélait mi-décembre que 74 % de ces sondés jugent que leur situation personnelle s'améliorera ou se stabilisera. Un niveau qui n'a pas changé au fil des ans.Dans un document publié le 6 janvier, les économistes de BNP Paribas estiment que le PIB pourrait progresser de 1,1 % sur l'année 2026. Sur le plan intérieur, la faiblesse de l'inflation pourrait soutenir le pouvoir d'achat et la consommation. « Une croissance résiliente mais pas suffisante », juge le gouverneur de la Banque de France, François Villeroy de Galhau. Notre taux de chômage reste plus élevé que celui atteint en moyenne dans l'Union européenne (6 %), avec des taux d'emploi préoccupants pour les jeunes et les seniors. L'emploi devrait progresser très faiblement, et le chômage remonter à 7,8 % à la mi-2026. Cette année encore, la grande incertitude concerne le comportement des ménages. S'il n'y a pas un redémarrage de la consommation, qui représente plus de la moitié du PIB, il sera difficile de trouver une dynamique. Pour l'heure, les ménages n'ont toujours pas puisé dans leur épargne qui se maintient à un niveau historiquement élevé (18,4 % du revenu disponible au troisième trimestre 2025).Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

In this conversation, Zoe Booth and Shany Mor discuss the complex interplay between Australia's reputation in relation to Israel, the impact of anti-Israel activism, and the cultural and intellectual anxieties that contribute to anti-Semitism. They explore the role of guilt in Western society, the challenges of identity and belonging in multicultural contexts, and the evolution of political discourse. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of radicalization, the nature of prejudice, and the future of democracy, particularly in the context of Israeli society and global fertility rates.

It's natural to feel compelled to reach out to fix things at every level of estrangement. We've been taught to pursue, talk, challenge, and perhaps even expect certain aspects of a relationship with our adult child.You want closeness, but every “fix it” attempt seems to push your adult child farther away. The tension escalates, accusations worsen, and hurtful words or actions become more personal. It makes no sense, and the confusion turns to helplessness. Well-intentioned friends, family, and therapists may advise you to walk away. To close the door. However, is that really what you want? What if there is another option?In this episode, Dr. Janet shows you how concrete self-reflection, neutral consideration of both perspectives, and humble authenticity can change that. You will take the first step to see your communication style and behaviors through your adult child's eyes. You will begin to consider your own communication patterns (e.g., tone, timing, word choice, and intensity) and the power of modifying your communication in real time. You will consider the importance of regulating emotions in the moment and the value of modeling actions that invite trust. Remember, moving through estrangement to rebuild trust and establish healthier communication is at the heart of a new and healthy relationship with your son or daughter. This isn't a sprint; it's steady, observable change your adult child can feel—even from a distance. If you're ready to rebuild calm, clarity, and compassion, this is your starting line.Related EpisodesMom, Mentor, Grandma: Flexing Roles Without Fueling the Fire of EstrangementWhen the Green Monster Rears Its Head: Jealousy and EstrangementWhen Communication Becomes a Power Struggle: Power, Influence, Gaslighting and Coercive Control6 Tips to Proactively Give Space to Your Adult Child and Avoid Misrepresentation#FamilyEstrangement #EstrangedAdultChild #ParentReconnection #ParentalAlienation #ReconnectionStrategist #EstrangementSupport #ParentAdultChildRelationship #EmotionalRegulation #Boundaries #TrustBuilding #CommunicationSkills #EstrangementGrief #MothersOfEstrangedDaughters #FathersOfEstrangedSons #RepairingRelationshipsHi Listeners.

In this landmark Mind-Body Solution Colloquia, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman and neuroscientist Karl Friston engage in a deep, rigorous dialogue on the foundations of reality, perception, and consciousness.Hoffman argues that spacetime and physical objects are not fundamental, but evolved interfaces shaped by fitness rather than truth. Friston presents the Free Energy Principle and Active Inference as a unifying framework for life, mind, and meaning — raising the question of whether inference itself can ground reality.Together, they explore:- Why spacetime may be derived, not fundamental- Whether consciousness must come before physics- Markov blankets, trace logic, and system boundaries- Probability, inference, and non-equilibrium dynamics- The limits of scientific explanation- Implications for AI, evolution, and ontologyThis is not a debate — it is a serious attempt to understand reality at its deepest level.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - What is Ultimately Real?

Growing up, Ahmed felt at odds with her Afghan identity. She describes herself as a rebellious child, not understanding the need for a head scarf, often finding herself "irked" by assumptions about her, before she even knew herself. Perceptions about Afghanistan perpetuated by "breaking news" from CNN certainly didn't help. In her latest work, In The Room, Ahmed sets out to change the conversation.Today, Ahmed is proud of her identity. But the journey to this place of embrace was not linear. In In The Room, Ahmed interviews five women who in their own right, have taught her something about herself, and the many complexities, beauties, and struggles Afghan women face on their own unique paths.In this episode of the VIFF Podcast, Ahmed reminds us that in a time where women's rights are under siege, you, with your story in hand, can be an agent of hope.This podcast is brought to you by the Vancouver International Film Festival.Presented on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

Public health says "don't drink and drive." Bud Light says "don't let the party stop—have a designated driver". One feels like a lecture, the other made millions take notice. That communication gap is why public health messaging still misses the mark despite saving millions of lives.In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Dr. Brian Castrucci explains how AI platforms and influencer partnerships could go a long way in helping public health step out of the shadows. From the De Beaumont Foundation's toolkit to communicate with policymakers to the VeriSci AI platform that puts sophisticated messaging in practitioners' hands, Brian shows why public health must meet people where they are: on social media, not government webpages. The field that gave Americans decades of extra life now faces a choice—adapt or disappear.References for Our Discussion◼️Poll: 100 Days In, Americans' Perceptions, Expectations, and Trust in Public Health◼️Poll: 79% of Americans Support Routine Childhood Vaccine Requirements◼️About Brian C.

In this episode of Change Starts Here, Kim Yaris and Dr. Eve Miller explore the common "disconnect" between traditional school efforts and what actually drives student achievement. Dr. Miller shares insights from a deep dive into family engagement research, revealing that many widely accepted practices are more about compliance than connection. By shifting the focus from school-based events to "academic socialization," educators can unlock more powerful outcomes for their students. Listeners will learn how to identify and remove subtle barriers, such as scheduling conflicts and language gaps—that prevent families from engaging. The conversation highlights the transformative power of two-way communication and proactive, positive reach-outs. By moving away from visible but less effective gestures and toward building trust, educators can foster a partnership with families that significantly accelerates learning.Download the Handout, What Strengthens Family Engagement?:https://resources.franklincovey.com/c/fy26_csh_rc-handout_?x=hPII-q Hosts:Kim Yaris, M.Ed.

79% of Americans support childhood vaccine requirements—including the majority of Republicans. So why does it feel like everyone in the U.S. is against public health?In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Dr. Brian Castrucci reveals what public opinion polling actually shows: Americans are far more united on health issues than we think.

Send us a textThe Credit Union Generation Barrier.On the show today is Melissa Krut, VP of Success at Sogolytics, a Herndon Virginia based firm that focuses on data driven analytics that answer questions such as how satisfied are a credit union's employees, how satisfied are members, and more.Krut is here to discuss Sogolytics data driven approach and also to elaborate on a recent Sogolytics report that documents the disconnect between younger Millennials and Gen Z and credit unions.That's a disconnect that couldn't happen at a worse time for credit unions as their Baby Boomer base erodes in numbers.Here's one finding: “Nearly half (49%) of Gen Z say they've heard of credit unions but don't understand how they work. Perceptions of being outdated persist: 17% view credit unions as "for older people," while another 17% believe they are "not modern enough."”OuchThere's lots of data in the report but, Krut stresses, the data also open doors to better communicating to Millennials and Gen Z.By no means is this a battle lost.And Sogolytics offers plenty of pointers about what  a credit union can do to better appeal to younger potential members.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

On this first day of 2026, I wanted to share 5 perceptions. Separately, any one of them will change the way you experience your life going forward. Collectively, they will alter the way you create your reality..the way you think, feel and respond toevents and circumstances for the rest of your life. Just listening to this episode is enough to plant the seed of awareness necessary to create little shifts in the way you create your reality of each day. Happy New Year doesn't have the be a catch phrase. It really can be the way you live every day of your life! Cheers!

Send us a Positive Review!Series title: Mormon Faith Crisis—Progression, Not Pathology [Part II of III]In today's episode Valerie and guest researcher Jeff Strong explore why people in the same LDS congregation can experience church so differently, depending on where they are in their faith journey. They introduce Jeff's model of six faith mindsets—seekers, cultivators, protectors, avoiders, connectors, and explorers—each representing valid and meaningful ways of engaging faith. The problem? That many of these healthy and normal ways of engaging with one's faith journey are pathologized within the LDS culture at both local and general levels. Valerie and Jeff hope that research like Jeff's and platforms like Latter Day Struggles will place growth where it actually belongs--as normal, natural, and precisely what each of us are here on this earth to do. Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction and Welcome00:22 – Series Overview and Jeff's Background01:18 – Exploring Church Demographics and Tensions02:45 – Review of Previous Episode04:00 – Cultural Causes of Tension05:30 – The Weight of Disaffiliation07:00 – Research Methodology and Data Collection07:58 – Strengths of LDS Culture09:45 – Personal Reflections on Community11:35 – Weaknesses of LDS Culture13:20 – The Soil Metaphor for Culture15:00 – The River Metaphor: Rigidity vs. Chaos17:10 – The Impact of Cultural Rigidity18:45 – The Struggle for Belonging20:09 – Stages of Faith Development22:00 – Simplicity and Complexity Explained23:45 – Perplexity and Harmony Explained25:30 – Faith Journeys and Community Reactions27:00 – The Pain of Being Misunderstood28:22 – Personal Faith Journeys29:47 – The Garden of Eden Metaphor30:47 – Pathologizing Growth in Faith32:00 – The Need for Community Support33:09 – Community and Belonging33:52 – Brian McLaren's Model in Scriptures35:30 – The Arc of Human Spiritual Growth37:25 – Understanding Different Faith Mindsets39:00 – Disparities in Perceptions of Christ-Centeredness40:30 – The Loneliness of Nonconformity42:04 – Introducing the Six Segments44:00 – Descriptions of Each Segment46:00 – The Dynamic Nature of Faith Mindsets47:00 – Encouragement for Self-Reflection48:24 – Conclusion and Next StepsSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

PREVIEW — Bruce Bechtol — Kim Jong-un's Vital Role in the Axis of Evil. Bechtol discusses how Kim Jong-un, despite international perceptions of him as a "clownish figure," is regarded with strategic seriousness by the "axis of evil," which now encompasses four nations. This respect stems from Pyongyang's formidable military capabilities, including a sophisticated arsenal of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, coupled with its demonstrated ability to manufacture and proliferate vital weapon systems required by axis partners throughout the region.
