Host: Andy Shiles and Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Margo Waldie and Javier Vera Published: July 16, 2026 Length: 35 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Warehousing is far more than a place to store products. It is a critical link in the supply chain that can either accelerate customer delivery or create costly bottlenecks. In this lively episode of Simply Trade, Andy Shiles and Lalo Solorzano welcome Margo and Javier Vera for a wide-ranging conversation about warehouse operations, technology, employee empowerment, contingency planning, and the value of strong industry relationships. The group explores what businesses should prioritize as trade policies, tariffs, customer expectations, and supply chain uncertainty continue to evolve. From predictive analytics and equipment readiness to security, sanitation, and faster order cycle times, the discussion highlights the operational decisions that can directly affect customer satisfaction. The guests also explain the mission behind the Cool Kids networking community and why making industry events more welcoming matters—especially for young professionals and people attending their first conference. They share upcoming opportunities to connect at major intermodal, maritime, breakbulk, and supply chain events. Along the way, the conversation delivers practical lessons, memorable stories, and plenty of humor about building relationships, mentoring the next generation, and finding your place within the trade and logistics community. Main Topic / Discussion This episode examines how warehouse operators can manage uncertainty while meeting growing customer expectations for faster delivery, better visibility, lower costs, and greater flexibility. The conversation also explores how professional associations, conferences, mentoring, and inclusive networking communities can help supply chain professionals strengthen their knowledge and build valuable industry relationships. Building Stronger Warehouse Operations Successful warehouse operations require more than additional space. Companies must invest in technology, employees, equipment, partnerships, security, and contingency planning. The guests discuss the importance of predictive analytics, reliable material-handling equipment, backup operating procedures, efficient pick-and-pack processes, and empowering frontline employees to solve operational challenges. Creating More Inclusive Industry Networks Javier and Margo explain that the Cool Kids community was created to make networking more accessible—not more exclusive. Its mission is to welcome newcomers, connect professionals with shared values, and help emerging supply chain talent build confidence and meaningful relationships. Making Conferences More Valuable The episode highlights networking opportunities connected with IANA, Breakbulk, the Virginia Maritime Association, and TPM. The guests encourage attendees to step outside their comfort zones, introduce themselves, and use conferences to build relationships across the trade, logistics, maritime, and warehousing sectors. Key Takeaways • Invest in technology, people, equipment, and partnerships rather than relying on a single operational solution. • Faster warehouse cycle times can improve customer satisfaction and reduce the likelihood of returns. • Predictive analytics should empower employees and improve decision-making—not simply replace people. • Contingency planning helps warehouses continue operating when equipment, internet access, or other critical systems fail. • Frontline employees often understand operational problems best and should be empowered to recommend improvements. • Safety, security, and sanitation are essential parts of a high-performing warehouse operation. • Conferences and professional associations can help newcomers find mentors, build confidence, and expand their networks. • Strong relationships across trade, logistics, maritime, and supply chain communities create opportunities for collaboration.

Kathryn Nave is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and the author of the book A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate dives deep into the free energy principle and active inference, which are popular approaches to studying brains, minds, and organisms in general, and which are being used in artificial intelligence. Ultimately, Kate finds these approaches come up short as explanatory frameworks for life, and autonomy, and intelligence. Instead, Kate and many others advocate a framework that Kate calls constraint closure or closure of constraints, but also goes by the name organizational closure. This is a concept from philosophy and theoretical biology that people like Alvaro Moreno and Matteo Mossio have put forth in their 2015 book Biological Autonomy. The core ideas are also found in various forms from people like Robert Rosen, Stuart Kauffman, Alicia Juarrero, Terrence Deacon, and others. We discuss what constraint closure is, why Kate thinks it's a solid foundation to build on, and what if anything it means for cognitive science and brain sciences to embrace this constraint closure view. I highly recommend the book even if you're looking for a primer on the free energy principle and active inference. As we discuss, Kate's journalism experience has helped her become a wonderful communicator of these notoriously difficult concepts. Kathryn Nave @kathrynnave; @kathrynnave.eurosky.social.

Coinsilium Group (AQSE:COIN) CEO Eddy Travia joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion alongside Predictive Labs CEO Johann Evrard to discuss the company's increased investment in Predictive Labs and the launch of Nijinn, a discovery terminal for prediction markets. Evrard explained that Nijinn is a data aggregation product rather than a trading platform — it doesn't handle money or execute trades. Instead, it sits above multiple prediction-market venues, pulling together pricing, fees and resolution rules into a single interface. "We turn all that noise into a clear signal," he said. The whitelist opens next month, followed by a free tier in September and a paid Pro tier in October, targeting arbitrage, market making and hedging professionals, with around five or six venues at launch. Travia said Predictive Labs fits within Coinsilium's broader strategy across blockchain, agentic AI and digital market infrastructure, with the company's role extending beyond capital to include strategy, partnerships and commercial growth. He also highlighted the company's Bitcoin treasury as a source of resilience and flexibility to support further venture-building opportunities. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more videos.

What if you've never actually seen reality?In this investigation, we test a simple idea:If perception worked like a rendering system… what would we expect to find?We break it down step by step:• Is perception direct?• Is perception complete?• Or is something constructing what you see?From blind spots and attention limits…to predictive processing and real-time updates…the evidence points to a surprising structure:You are not receiving reality directly.You are experiencing something generated.If true, this raises a deeper question:What exactly is being rendered… and from what?This episode explores:• Predictive processing (Friston, Seth, Clark)• Attention and perception limits• The brain's internal model of reality• Why perception must be fast, selective, and constructed

In deze aflevering van Techzine Talks gaan Coen en Sander in gesprek met Erik van Buggenhout van NVISO, een Belgisch cybersecurity-servicebedrijf. Ze bespreken hoe de opkomst van AI de spelregels in de securitywereld fundamenteel verandert: van de razendsnelle verkorting van de 'time to exploit' tot de uitdagingen rondom het patchen van systemen en het beveiligen van AI-gedreven applicaties.Het gesprek gaat over hoe organisaties AI en security kunnen opdelen in drie kaders: security for AI, AI for security en governance. We bespreken concrete risico's zoals prompt injection, shadow AI en het gevaar van slechte dataclassificatie. Daarnaast geeft Erik praktisch advies over hoe bedrijven hun AI-architectuur bewust kunnen inrichten zodat ze flexibel en veilig blijven, ongeacht welk model ze gebruiken.Centraal staat het concept 'own your AI': niet het bezit van GPU's of modellen, maar het maken van doordachte keuzes over welk model je waarvoor inzet, hoe je de onderliggende architectuur inricht en hoe je de fundamenten van identity en dataclassificatie op orde brengt voordat je AI omarmt. Een eerlijk en genuanceerd gesprek over kansen, risico's en de eerste stappen die elke organisatie kan zetten.• AI verkort de 'time to exploit' drastisch, maar het oplossen van kwetsbaarheden blijft trager• Security voor AI kent unieke risico's zoals prompt injection die niet bestaan zonder AI• Shadow AI ontstaat wanneer governance achterloopt op de adoptie van AI-tools• 'Own your AI' gaat over eigenaarschap en bewuste architectuurkeuzes, niet over GPU's kopen• Dataclassificatie en identity zijn de fundamenten die op orde moeten zijn vóór AI-adoptie• Automatisch patchen is technisch mogelijk maar organisatorisch zeer risicovol• Open-weight modellen bieden meer flexibiliteit dan frontier-modellen voor bedrijfsarchitecturen• Agentic engineering vervangt vibe-coding en vraagt om stevige pipeline-architectuur0:00 - Introductie0:34 - NVISO: cybersecurity zonder vendor bias2:29 - Platformisatie: vendors kopen alles op5:40 - AI in de dagelijkse securitypraktijk8:54 - Drie kaders: security for AI, AI for security en governance11:33 - Time to exploit: kwetsbaarheden worden razendsnel gevonden13:46 - Het patchdilemma: hoe dicht je kwetsbaarheden op tijd?16:23 - Predictive shielding en geautomatiseerde respons26:36 - Own your AI: bewuste architectuurkeuzes maken29:21 - Frontier vs open-weight modellen en geopolitiek37:11 - Dataclassificatie en identity als fundament41:31 - Eerste stap: zo begin je verantwoord met AI

Julie Aitchison returns to Unexplained Inc. for the third time and is here to ruffle some feathers. Over the past few months Julie has posted material involving what she believes in a giant psyop involving everything we know about UFOs and E.T. contact.In the past Julie has come on the show to discuss her research into the crimes and victims of M.K. Ultra and Satanic Ritual Abuse through a Christian lens. Julie presents some evidence that those who are behind these horrors and secretly trying to surrender our power to an alien force to usher in the N.W.O. and potentially threaten our sovereignty.This episode will not resonate with everyone. So I suggest for yourself to take what resonates and leave behind what doesn't. No need to shoot the messengers here...this show prides itself on many different perspectives and this one is as important as any...here are some other talking points:- The role of MK Ultra and its correlation to the Secret Space Program- How the story of Roswell got distorted and who benefited from it- The darker symbolism of Spielberg's Disclosure Day and why many movie-goers missed it...and some painfully did not- Predictive programming in our media...including yet another crazy X-Files related story possibly confirming this- How modern perceptions of E.T's were shaped by Mormons, Scientology and even the Free Masons.- Why a certain 1953 story from Arthur C. Clarke (famous for also writing 2001: A Space Odyssey) is turning heads these days and adding fuel to this fire- How scary a potential Project Blue Beam could look for usPlus so much more...this one ones deep:Throughout the episode Julie highly recommends this series from one of her favourite researchers...Matthew Ehret...aka Canadian Patriot...the links will be displayed below and I will eventually give them a view and see how it resonates...we are in crazy and confusing times...discernment is key...even if its uncomfortable!

This live stream from the Infinite Plane Society (IPS) focuses on the development of a Teachable course regarding Metascript Deconstruction and the formal methodology for media skepticism. The speaker argues that most people are trapped in a "world stage" narrative where significant historical events are actually pre-scheduled simulations.The speaker identifies a dual timeline system: a real-world timeline and a secondary, fictional timeline called the Metascript. This Metascript contains pre-planned, "theatrically performed" historic events that arrive via the news to eventually become part of our history. Key elements of this system include:The Psyop Entertainment Complex: A monolithic collusion between government, news media, and mass entertainment designed to wage psychological warfare on the public.Predictive and Concurrent Programming: Mass entertainment (movies, TV shows) is used to condition the public to accept future fake events as inevitable and to frame their later interpretation.Meta-scripters: Writers and directors who contribute content to the Metascript by reinforcing or foreshadowing these operations.The speaker uses the reported assassination of Charlie Kirk as a primary example of a planned simulated event. He cites "hoax indicators," such as the use of squibs (special effects devices) and "predictive programming" in the show Snake Eyes, as evidence that the event was scripted decades in advance.The speaker critiques individuals like Alex Jones and "Jesse on Fire," labeling them as "guardrailers". He defines a guardrail as a "safe" conspiracy theory or subplot that allows people to question details of an event (e.g., "he's actually in protective custody") while still accepting the foundational premise that the person and the "world stage" are real.The sources describe a system of triangulation where the "world stage" creates manufactured fights between opposing sides to reinforce social schisms. This includes:Woke Left: Focused on Critical Race Theory and systemic oppression.Woke Right: Described as a "counterpart" that believes it is being oppressed by Israel or the government.Red Pills: Viewed as another form of "false awakening" or "wokeism" that merely swaps one belief system for another, often involving "conspiracy lore" like chemtrails or reptilians.The ultimate goal of IPS is to move individuals "off-world stage" into what the speaker calls "Realville". This perspective is rooted in consummate skepticism and the suspension of judgment rather than active belief. By recognizing the existence of the two timelines and reverse-engineering media fakery, individuals can allegedly inoculate themselves against psychological operations and "mind viruses".Core Concepts of Metascript DeconstructionCase Study: The "Charlie Kirk Assassination"Political Triangulation and "Wokeism"The "Off-World Stage" Perspective

The following article of the Health industry is: 'From Reactive to Predictive: What the Gut Microbiome Reveals' by Gustavo Rodríguez, Founder & CEO, NutriADN. 

In this episode of The Buzz, powered by APL Logistics, Scott Luton and Kim Reuter are joined by Edmund Zagorin, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Arkestro, for a timely conversation on the latest supply chain and business news shaping the second half of 2026. From U.S. manufacturing trends and Prime Day consumer behavior to AI's growing role in sourcing and supplier management, this episode explores how procurement is evolving from a cost-focused function into a strategic driver of resilience, speed, and value. Edmund shares practical insight into predictive procurement, why supplier relationships still matter in an AI-powered world, and how procurement leaders can prepare their teams for the future. Key Takeaways AI can support procurement teams, but humans still need to lead relationship-driven decisions. Predictive procurement helps teams move from reactive buying to proactive supplier engagement. Speed is becoming a major competitive advantage in uncertain supply chain environments. Supplier relationships, long-term agreements, and guaranteed access are becoming more important than lowest cost. Procurement teams must rethink how success is measured, moving from compliance to value creation. Culture, people, and execution remain critical, even as technology continues to advance. Tune in to hear how supply chain and procurement leaders can cut through today's volatility, use AI more strategically, and build stronger supplier partnerships that drive real business value.

There’s no way self-care for women is one-size-fits-all. The good news is that your astrology chart maps out what actually works best for you. Astrologer Danielle M. Nugent joined the Breathe, Love & Magic podcast to reframe astrology as a wellness tool rather than a fortune-telling device. She explains how your zodiac sign and corresponding element point to the specific practices that ground, restore, and recharge you. What Does Self-Care for Women Look Like with Astrology? Danielle’s approach relies on your zodiac sign. Instead of looking for predictions, she asks what a person needs to feel grounded, balanced, and feel a sense of well-being. Astrology becomes a tool for self-understanding on every level including emotional, physical, and spiritual. It adds real insight into how you’re wired and what helps you thrive, especially once you know your element. Every zodiac sign falls into one of four categories including earth, air, fire, or water. Each one carries distinct needs for managing stress, avoiding burnout, and recharging. What Self-Care Practices Match Each Astrological Element? Earth Signs:  Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, typically work too hard, taking on responsibilities until they run themselves into the ground. They recharge through grounding. This means time outdoors, nourishing meals, and the simple act of cleaning and organizing. As Danielle puts it, “outer order creates inner calm.” Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, are the empaths, absorbing everyone else’s emotional baggage until they lose track of where their feelings end and others’ begin. Your self-care comes through disconnection. For example, stepping away from people, having a good cry (which can be genuinely therapeutic for this group), and spending time near water. If you can’t get to a lake, or the ocean, just take a shower. Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, are the movers and shakers, carrying big energy that needs an outlet. They often reach burn out in two ways: 1) Lacking inspiration, or 2) Saying yes to everything without checking in with themselves first. The fix is movement like working out. But passion projects and anything that lets the inner flame burn productively can help. Danielle compares fire signs to the Energizer Bunny – built to keep going. However, you need to take intentional pit stops and ask yourself, “How am I doing?” Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, are the intellects, thriving on conversation and ideas. They burn out by living too much in their heads, forgetting they have bodies, and consuming too much news and social media. Restoration comes through unplugging from screens, having meaningful conversations, journaling, or simply talking a thought through out loud. Why Self-Care for Women Matters More in a Chaotic World One reason why people love astrology is that many are searching for peace amid global chaos. Astrology offers a way to look inward when the outer world feels unpredictable. “I can’t control the world,” Danielle says, but she can control how she reacts to it as long as she understands herself. This is where good astrology departs from the version most people grew up with. I shared my own history with predictive astrology. Two different astrologers told me in my 30s that marriage wasn’t in the cards. Yet, I went on to marry and have been happily married for 26 years and counting. That distinction matters. Good predictive astrology isn’t about absolutes. It points to the energy at play and what it might look like. It’s like a weather forecast. Rain is possible, but you still decide whether to grab an umbrella or get wet and dance in it. How Do the Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs Shape Your Wellness Style? Going one layer deeper, astrologers often talk about how these three signs affect your chart: Sun sign: Representing your core essence and vitality, this sign is what most horoscope columns default to. It’s the brightest, most visible part of a person’s chart. Rising sign: Your outward packaging, or how you show up and present yourself to the world. Moon sign: Your emotional body, and the key to how you receive intuitive guidance. How Does Your Moon Sign Reveal Your Intuitive Style? We took a moment to look at how your astrology impacts your intuition. Sorted by the same four elements, your moon sign reveals how you best receive inner guidance. Fire Moons (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are claircognizant people who simply know things, often physically. A run or workout unlocks clarity by pulling them out of their head and into their body. Air Moons (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) receive intuition as ideas and flashes of insight; they’re the innovators and futurists, though they often dismiss their own intuitive hits as “just a thought” when it’s actually inner wisdom speaking through intellect. Water Moons (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) pick up on the energy of a room the moment they walk in, and their intuition opens up through solitude and water, like showers, rivers, ponds, or the ocean. Earth Moons (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) experience intuition as practical gut instinct. Some carry a tactile gift for psychometry, sensing information just by touching an object. Gardening and grounding rituals help them reconnect to that knowing. A pattern emerges. Fire and air are “yang” elements that need active, energetic outlets to access intuition. On the other hand, water and earth are “yin” elements that need stillness and reflection. Knowing your moon’s element provides a personalized practice instead of forcing a intuitive style that’s not aligned with your energy. A Permission Slip to Be Yourself Maybe the most powerful idea in the conversation is what Danielle calls a permission slip to be yourself. A water sign who cries easily isn’t flawed. That’s how your body processes and releases emotion. A fire sign who can’t sit still for traditional meditation doesn’t need to force it. Try a movement-based practice which will work better. Astrology, used this way, isn’t about fitting into a box. It’s about understanding your sign and qualities and learning to work with it instead of against it. Key Takeaways Self-care for women works best when it’s tailored to how you’re individually wired, not applied as generic options that work for anyone. Your zodiac element (earth, water, fire, or air) points to specific stress triggers and corresponding methods to recharge. Earth signs need grounding and order; water signs need disconnection and release; fire signs need movement; and air signs need to unplug and talk things through. Good predictive astrology describes energy and possibility, not fixed outcomes. Your moon sign, read through its element, reveals how you best access intuition, whether that’s through movement, ideas, stillness, or instinct. The goal isn’t to change who you are. It’s to better understand your natural patterns and build self-care around them. Frequently Asked Questions What is self-care for women according to astrology? It’s a personalized approach that uses your zodiac element to identify which practices actually restore you, rather than applying generic wellness advice that may not fit your energy. What self-care does each zodiac element need? Earth signs need grounding through nature and order, water signs need disconnection and emotional release, fire signs need movement and passion outlets, and air signs need to unplug from screens and talk through their thoughts. How can I find my moon sign? Your moon sign is calculated from your exact birth date, time, and location. A free online birth chart calculator or an astrologer can generate it for you. What’s the difference between predictive and wellness-focused astrology? Predictive astrology forecasts events, while wellness-focused astrology — the approach used here — focuses on self-understanding and the specific practices that help you feel grounded, balanced, and well. Is astrology a replacement for therapy or medical care? No. Astrology can be a useful self-understanding and wellness tool, but it’s not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care.

SynopsisThe sources describe a worldview centered on the “Metascript,” a framework suggesting that the power elite and governments exert control by hijacking history and simulating news events to create a “singular worldview” that legitimizes their authority,. The speaker argues that we are currently experiencing the effects of “history bending,” where decades of distorted or manufactured events—such as the staged assassination of Charlie Kirk or the Montreal shooting—are used to guide the public toward specific social outcomes, including internet censorship and the implementation of digital IDs,,. By utilizing “pattern literacy,” the speaker claims one can identify “common denominators” between real-world headlines and entertainment media, revealing that these events are scripted performances rather than organic occurrences,.The Metascript and Hijacked History: The theory that the elite manipulate the timeline of events to maintain power and divine mandates.Simulated Events and Social Engineering: How manufactured crises, such as the “incel” Montreal shooter and “Disease X,” are used to justify internet lockdowns.Predictive and Concurrent Programming: The use of movies and TV shows to “pre-sell” the public on future scripted events.This topic explores the idea that governments have taken control of historical narratives to serve a “power elite”. The speaker describes the current news cycle as resting on a “house of cards” built by previous simulations.Quote: “Governments taking control over history and using this to create a singular worldview that justifies, legitimizes, and maybe even gives a divine mandate to their authority”.Quote: “We are examining the effects of 70 plus years of history bending which is how I describe the effects of distorted or simulated news events distorting the news cycle”.The sources categorize events like the Montreal shooting as manufactured storylines. These events often use “lifetime actors”—individuals playing scripted personas—to create fear of specific political demographics and justify new regulations,.Quote: “It's fake to create the perception of the incels as people who have caught Disease X, radicalized online, given these grievance politics, and now they're dangerous”.Quote: “I think they're painting the picture here that the mind viruses are deadly and they must be quarantined we must lock down the internet”.The speaker emphasizes identifying “common denominators” to prove an event was scheduled. For instance, they link a specific neck wound seen in movies like Snake Eyes and The Tempest to the reported assassination of Charlie Kirk,.Quote: “Predictive programming is a form of foreshadowing its purposes are... pre-selling us on future fake events so that we get involved in the event rather than... get stuck on the question of is it real”.Quote: “The concurrent and predictive programming specifically references neck... this part of the neck seems to have some very specific symbolic meaning“,.Main TopicsTopic Breakdown1.

Based on the provided transcript of the IPS DEPROGRAM from June 26, 2026, here is a breakdown of the session:The central theme of the session is the "Metascript," a framework for understanding how global events are manufactured, "history-bent," and coordinated through entertainment and news media to condition public consciousness. The speaker specifically uses the movie Citizen Vigilante and the alleged "squibbing" (faked death) of Charlie Kirk as case studies to demonstrate how predictive and concurrent programming are used to hijack the human brain's natural filtering systems."Citizen Vigilante" as Targeted Agitprop: The film is described as a "woke right Batman" story designed as an influence operation to fuel anti-immigrant sentiment and "White Lives Matter" martyrdom, perfectly timed with real-world "PsyOps" like the Henry Novak case.The Frequency Illusion (Red Car Theory): The speaker explains how predictive programming utilizes the Reticular Activating System (RAS) to prime the audience; once a concept is "top of mind," the brain filters for it, making future staged events seem obvious or inevitable.The Charlie Kirk "Simulation": The session asserts that Charlie Kirk's death was a drill involving crisis actors and "planted lines" (such as conflicting reports of heart vs. neck wounds) to create a martyr narrative that the political left would "froth at the mouth" over.Compartmentalization of Secrets: Addressing the "too many people to keep a secret" argument, the speaker posits that hoaxes like the moon landing or simulated mass shootings only require a few hundred "in the know" operatives, with the rest of the participants managed through compartmentalized security clearances.Media Triangulation and the Duopoly: Mainstream and alternative media are presented as a "pro-anti" duopoly that prevents true disbelief; by fighting over the details of an event, both sides inadvertently validate the event's reality.Engineered Mythos and One-World Religion: Using Steven Spielberg's work as an example, the speaker argues that the government is engineering a new religious paradigm (e.g., alien-angel synthesis) to condition humanity for a unified, AI-controlled global system."Predictive programming is designed to hijack our subconscious mind in every way... the RAS decides what's important what gets ignored.""The mainstream mediated worldview is in fact resting upon an edifice of lies.""I don't advocate for any belief systems here. We're talking about fomenting a culture of disbelievers—informed non-believers in the face of compulsive belief.""This is an influence operation that is coordinated in its release and the timing.""The triangulation... which is the fight over each event or each person, is the engagement that makes them real."In this IPS DEPROGRAM session, the speaker argues that the contemporary news cycle is a "house of cards" built on decades of simulated events and "history bending". By analyzing the film Citizen Vigilante, the speaker illustrates how predictive programming sensitizes specific demographics to respond to future "PsyOps". The session concludes by introducing the IPS Institute for Metascript Deconstruction, which aims to train "certified auto-hoaxers" to reject the "world stage" entirely and adopt an "off-world stage" perspective, treating both mainstream and conspiracy narratives as manufactured subplots of a singular control mechanism.Main Topic: The Metascript and Influence OperationsKey Points5 Key QuotesSummary

We all have patterns we can see clearly…and still can't seem to stop. Dr. Rick and Forrest explore how avoidance fuels these patterns, and how we can break the avoidance loop by updating our expectations and predictions about the future. They discuss what avoidance coping is, how the brain works as a prediction machine, why that means insight alone usually isn't enough to break a pattern, and what the current science of exposure and expectancy violation says about how change actually happens.  This is the first of two episodes dedicated to this topic, the second will focus on how to brave our feared experiences and go from insight to action. Key Topics: 00:00: Intro: avoidance coping and mental predictions 8:07: Five types of avoidance behaviors 17:35: The invisible cage 23:50: Predictive processing 29:49: Identity and high confidence predictions 34:30: How avoidance can perpetuate painful experiences 40:01: Exposure and the Inhibitory Learning Model 52:00: Answering common questions 56:07: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

The Experience Strategy Podcast Hosts: Aransas Savas, Dave Norton, Joe Pine Featured articles: "Death of the Segment: Why Personas Are Killing Personalization" — SwiftERM "Your Personas Are Outdated. It's Time to Evolve Your Approach." — Audrey Chee-Read, Principal Analyst, Forrester Every other post on LinkedIn is announcing the death of something. Most of it is alarmist storytelling dressed up as insight. But under the noise, two recent articles — one from SwiftERM, one from Forrester — are pointing at a real problem: personas and segmentation, built for an earlier era of marketing, have become a drag on personalization in the era of AI. Dave, Joe, and Aransas trace where personas actually came from, why they got merged with segmentation, what AI changes about the math, and what should replace the persona as the stable determinant companies are still looking for. The answer Dave keeps returning to: situations. Key Ideas Personas were never built for marketers. Dave opens with the history. The persona originated around 1999–2001 as a design thinking technique to get engineers to think more like customers. It worked. Then it migrated into marketing and merged with segmentation, and the original purpose got lost. Segmentation is the search for a stable determinant. Companies need something they can count on to define a market — geography, demographics, lifestyle, generation. Stable determinants make markets identifiable, and identifiable markets are countable. But the stability is increasingly fictional. Customers are not stable. They want different things at different times. Joe's arc: mass market → segments → niches → markets of one → markets within one. Joe walks the progression from Henry Ford's mass market through Alfred Sloan's segments through the minivan that opened up niche thinking. Stan Davis's Future Perfect (1987) saw the path to markets of one. What comes next is the flip: multiple markets inside every customer. Joe on a business trip is a different market than Joe on a leisure trip with his wife, even though it is the same person and the same credit card. This is the situational markets argument. Dave's frame: situations can be the new stable determinant. Friday night with your wife is a context. Monday morning before work is a context. Travel in cold Chicago is a different context than travel in France. The behavior changes with the context, even when the person does not. The SwiftERM line that lands the case. "While your team is busy building a persona for Sarah, the 35-year-old yoga enthusiast, Sarah has already moved on. She isn't a persona. She's a dynamic stream of intent." She bought a yoga mat six months ago. For the last three days, her behavior shows interest in high-end supplements and weightlifting gear. The persona missed the shift. The window of intent closed before the system caught up. Bayesian thinking is the right math for this. Predictive analytics has historically used past behavior to predict future behavior — yesterday you watched a romance, so tomorrow you will too. The newer move is using context, not just history. Yesterday you watched a romance because it was Friday and you were with your wife. The probability updates with every new piece of information. AI makes this practical at scale for the first time. The Apple Watch and Netflix examples make it concrete. The latest Apple Watch update no longer just serves up the workout you did last. It serves up the workout you usually do on that day of the week. Aransas lifts Monday and Wednesday and the watch knows. Netflix recommends romance on Friday night because the pattern holds across the whole user base. Restaurants have understood this for a hundred years — they do not serve breakfast at nine at night because they read the context. Customers have the same AI you do. Joe's reminder at the end is the one that should make every CMO uneasy. Customers can now vibecode their own shopping experience. They can customize as easily as you can customize for them, and they will configure it for their own context every time. The companies that win are the ones whose offerings can flex to the customer's situation, not the ones with the most polished persona deck. A Word on "Moments" Dave makes a careful distinction at the end. Moments is the right idea, but 20 years of design thinking have loaded the term with retail-moment-one, retail-moment-two, retail-moment-three thinking — discrete and product-out, not organic and customer-out. Situations carry the meaning without the baggage. Memorable Moments Joe: "I might be multiple personas, but you never say there's a person, they're that persona. That's just wrong — morally, much less business-wise." Joe: "Dave has yet to find a situation in which talking about situations does not work." Dave's bathroom study: weather changed bathroom usage at French gas stations. It did not move the needle at Chicago train stations. Different situational markets. Aransas on the Paris Marathon: one toilet, a hundred urinals, 20,000 runners — half of whom needed to sit. A persona designed for one imagined customer, and the actual situation ignored. Joe on the American Girl Place men's bathroom stocking products that men do not use — because the company actually thought about who was walking in with their daughter. The Strategic Takeaway Companies need something they can count on. Personas have stopped being that thing. Aggregated situations — Friday night, business travel with kids, post-workout, end-of-quarter — are stable enough to plan against and dynamic enough to respect what the customer actually wants in the moment. AI no longer makes one-to-one a scary thing to attempt. The excuse is gone. The companies that move now will be the ones the customer feels actually understands them.

Scripted Reality: The Elite's Predictive Playbook – From National Treasure to NSA Avatars! Today we're going full conspiracy time — a marathon, no-holds-barred, single-host deep dive because the rabbit hole doesn't have a speed limit. We're talking how so-called “fiction” movies, TV series, and even video games keep morphing into cold, hard reality. National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Black Mirror, V for Vendetta, Idiocracy — these aren't just popcorn flicks. They're blueprints. And we're pulling the receipts: DoD and CIA script-doctoring Hollywood, the WWII origins of the whole propaganda pipeline, America's Army as straight-up military recruiting propaganda, and the Snowden bombshells proving the NSA and CIA were straight-up spying inside World of Warcraft and Second Life like it was their personal panopticon.

Grokstream: Predictive and Agentic AI Moves IT Operations Toward Self-Healing, Podcast, Grokstream's platform is designed to operate from signals, not noise. The system fuses telemetry across domains, learns continuously from operational data and human feedback, and creates a unified source of truth for IT operations. That allows teams to move beyond correlation and toward understanding what is happening, why it is happening and what should be done next. By Doug Green Grokstream says the next generation of IT operations will not be built around more dashboards, more rules, or faster alert routing. It will be built around AI that can learn, reason, remember, recommend and eventually act with governed autonomy. “Agentic AI must be governed by design,” said Josh Kindiger, CEO of Grokstream. “Predictive intelligence is powerful, but safe, explainable autonomy is what drives real adoption.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green speaks with Josh Kindiger, Co-Founder and COO of Grokstream, about how the company is helping MSPs, CSPs and enterprise IT organizations move from reactive operations toward predictive, self-healing IT environments. The conversation comes as Grokstream advances its Grok L1 Agent, a new role-based agent designed for frontline IT operations teams. The L1 Agent is intended to reduce alert noise before incidents reach the queue, provide intelligent summaries, identify likely root causes, recommend next-best actions and trigger approved remediations inside tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams and existing IT workflows. For service providers and enterprise operations teams, the problem is familiar. More tools often mean more alerts, but not necessarily more clarity. Traditional rules-based AIOps platforms can help with deduplication and routing, but they often stop short of true incident compression, causal reasoning and prevention. Grokstream is taking a different approach by combining classical machine learning, causal intelligence and generative AI into a single cognitive AI layer. Kindiger explains that Grokstream's platform is designed to operate from signals, not noise. The system fuses telemetry across domains, learns continuously from operational data and human feedback, and creates a unified source of truth for IT operations. That allows teams to move beyond correlation and toward understanding what is happening, why it is happening and what should be done next. A central theme of the podcast is the difference between AI that summarizes and AI that reasons. Grokstream argues that true agentic AI is not simply an LLM attached to a workflow. It requires memory, context, policy guardrails, procedural intelligence and the ability to improve over time. In Grokstream's model, agents begin as assisted tools, then move toward trusted operators and eventually toward predictive autonomous systems. The first practical on-ramp is the L1/NOC environment, where many organizations see the fastest measurable impact. Grokstream says its approach can deliver 2–3x more incident compression beyond traditional deduplication and rules-based correlation, while reducing L1 workload by more than 50% through noise compression, guided resolution and fewer unnecessary escalations. The timing is significant. Grokstream recently announced that Cirion Technologies selected the Cognitive Grok AI platform to support AI-driven predictive operations across Latin America's digital infrastructure. That deployment highlights the growing demand for systems that can detect emerging issues across network, transport and infrastructure layers before customer-facing impact occurs. For MSPs, CSPs and enterprise IT leaders, the message is clear: operational scale cannot be achieved simply by adding more people or more monitoring tools. The next step is an intelligence layer that can unify data, predict impact, explain cause and support governed automation. Grokstream is positioning Grok as that layer: a predictive and agentic AI platform that helps operations teams reduce noise, prevent incidents, improve engineer experience and move toward self-healing IT operations.

Jo Marchant is a science journalist and podcast host, and also the author of several books. Her latest works include In Search of Now: The Science of the Present Moment and Cure: A Journey into the Science of Mind Over Body. Greg and Jo discuss the shared threads across her work: a long view of the history of thought and the mind–body relationship. Jo explains how physics and neuroscience challenge a single objective “now,” describing perception as an active predictive process shaped by past experience and expectations, with examples from illusions and sensory priming. They discuss predictive coding, placebo effects, psychoneuroimmunology, anxiety as attention-weighted error monitoring, and how mindfulness and awe can rebalance attention and reduce stress. Jo also contrasts flow with mindfulness, explores choking and depersonalization-derealization as over-attention to self, and critiques medicine's structural barriers to integrating context and meaning.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Why once you hear it, you can't unhear it 14:49: There are other times when we can consciously override things where, for example, if you hear, I don't know, a record being played backwards or something, and it might not, you know, sound like anything, and you're told that actually there's a satanic message hidden within the sound, and you see written down a transcript of what the voice is meant to be saying. So you're listening for it, and so that's adjusting the filtering that your brain's doing. And so it will sort of tune down some things, tune up other things, and then suddenly the voice pops out and you hear it clear as day, and you think, “How on earth did I not hear it before?” You can't unhear it. Perception is prediction 09:59: Everything that we perceive is being shaped by everything that we have perceived in the past and everything that we expect about the future. There's no differentiation between real physical pain and psychological pain. 22:20: There's no differentiation between real physical pain and psychological pain. It's all exactly the same pain. All of that pain or fatigue or whatever it is , is that integrated output of the brain taking everything into account that it knows, and then it's giving you this warning signal, and it's that sort of overall picture. And it's the exact same pain, whether that is purely coming from you've just broken your leg or something, or whether it's coming from a lifetime of stress and trauma that's telling you that you're in a really dangerous situation and something is wrong. The pain is going to feel just as real.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale sits down with Vinnu Deshetty, Product Manager at the American Chemical Society, Event ROI Coach, and longtime PCMA instructor, to discuss the evolving role of technology in events. They explore how AI is reshaping planning and analytics, how associations can better serve exhibitors and attendees, and why intentional innovation matters more than ever. Vinnu shares practical insights on avoiding “shiny tech syndrome,” aligning tech with business goals, and using data to drive meaningful outcomes. The conversation highlights the importance of purpose-driven decisions in delivering real value from events. Themes and Topics: The Current State of Event Technology Events are operating “between four and five” in tech adoption, reflecting strong progress with room for improvement. Associations are balancing traditional goals like attendance with new expectations for engagement and personalization. AI is accelerating innovation while increasing complexity in tool selection. Purpose-Built Event Tech (Not One-Size-Fits-All) Technology is now tailored to planners, attendees, and exhibitors instead of being one broad solution. Vendors are solving specific pain points like workflows, engagement, and lead generation. Comparing solutions is more complex because platforms are no longer “apples to apples.” AI's Growing Impact on Event Operations AI is reducing manual work, like building session schedules.  Systems can learn from past data such as session ratings and attendance trends.  Predictive analytics and real-time insights are becoming more common in decision-making.  Data Strategy: Start with Intent Organizations often collect too much data without a clear purpose. Defining the questions upfront is critical to making data actionable. Focusing on a few key goals prevents teams from trying to “boil the ocean.” Exhibitor Expectations and ROI Pressure Exhibitors are asking sharper questions about ROI and measurable outcomes. Associations compete with alternative marketing channels for sponsor dollars. Integrated systems now provide better insights into lead generation and attendee behavior. Change Management and Innovation Mindset Innovation requires intentional planning, not just adopting “shiny” tools. Pilot programs and incremental changes help reduce risk. Understanding stakeholder impact is essential before rolling out new technology. 

In this episode, we dive into how smart pricing helps e-commerce brands boost profits and scale growth. Felix Hoffmann, co-founder and CEO of 7Learnings, shares how his predictive pricing models help businesses move beyond simple rules and gut feelings to find the perfect price for every product. He also reveals strategies for managing marketplace complexity, reducing overstock, and using financial goals to steer automated decision-making. Topics discussed in this episode:  How rule-based pricing creates unmanaged business complexity. Why matching competitor prices leads to a market race to bottom. What predictive pricing does using unlimited cloud compute. Why tracking transaction-level costs is vital for profit. How AI identifies different price elasticities across channels. What role weather and attribute data play in predictions. Why high-quality data is the gatekeeper for AI success. How A/B testing proves profit uplifts of over 100 percent. What strategic trade-offs exist between growth and margin. Why AI pricing is now a requirement for market survival. Links & ResourcesWebsite: https://7learnings.com/LinkedIn: : https://www.linkedin.com/in/felix-hoffmann-7learnings/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/7learnings/Get access to more free resources by visiting the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/us6eab7kI'd love your feedback.

Predictive Processing (or coding) differences are a relatively new proposed idea about an underlying mechanism of autism. Preliminary studies do show differences, but not necessarily "deficits," which I think is promising.While it may not explain everything, it's a compelling theory that resonates in my anecdotal experience.More reading/listening on predictive processing:The predictive coding theory of autism, explained (article w audio option)Predictive processing as a mechanistic account of Autism (video talk sent to me & I haven't listened yet)Understanding Autism through Predictive Processing (blog post)How the "Predictive Processing Framework" is Impacting Your Relationship (audio talk by Sarah Bergenfield)2025 paper on predictive processing, available for free as of nowAuDHD Flourishing resources:Transcript Doc (often a few weeks behind, but we do catch up!)Mattia's NewsletterLike Your Brain community space (Patreon/Discord) Hosted on Acast.

AI models now advise on everything from war, crop output, and marriages. Algorithms determine whether we can get a loan, a job, an apartment, or an organ transplant. Carissa Véliz, Associate Professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford, argues that today's computer scientists play the same role as the oracles of the ancient world and the astrologers of the Middle Ages. And when we cede ground to these predictions, we lose control of our own lives. In this episode, Véliz speaks to technology philosopher Tom Chatfield about how systems of prediction have long shaped human decisions - and how their influence is expanding in the age of data and AI. Together they examine why more data does not always lead to better outcomes, and how predictive systems can become self-fulfilling, and argue for shifting focus from prediction to preparation — and for reclaiming human agency in a world increasingly guided by forecasts. Carissa Véliz is Associate Professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford. She is the author of Prophecy: Prediction, Power and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient Oracles to AI. Tom Chatfield is a technology philosopher, author and commentator on digital culture, technology and society.
