Pull up a chair and pour yourself a drink! For the third installment in our occasional series on important conservative books, or important books written by or embraced by conservatives, we take up Leo Strauss's Natural Right and History, based on his 1949 Walgreen Lectures at the University of Chicago (where he taught for two decades) and published in 1953. To help us, we called on our friend Matt Dinan, a political theorist who's associate professor in the Great Books Program at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick, Canada. If you've listened to previous episodes and wanted us to go deeper on Leo Strauss, the German-Jewish political philosopher who came to the United States after fleeing Nazism, "Straussianism," and what they might have to do with American conservatism and our present political moment, here you go. After offering some background on Strauss and the context of Natural Right and History's publication, we discuss Strauss's patriotic appeal to Americans in the book's introduction, walk listeners through the chapters that follow (explaining what "natural right" is and why it's paired with "history" in the title along the way), and close out by exploring Strauss's ambiguous relationship to American conservatism—and more!

Those who are usually behind these events said they have opted not to organise the walk this year because of the decision by the charity's head office to close its Pieta South East premises at Waterside, Waterford city. Our South- East Correspondent, Marc O'Driscoll.
Broadband network operator, SIRO, has announced that its fibre-to-the-premise broadband network (full fibre) has now passed 700,000 premises and is available in towns and cities in every county in Ireland. The milestone of its network reaching 700,000 premises is part of a wider national objective of creating a full fibre Ireland by 2028. However, with more than 85% of all Irish premises now able to access full fibre broadband, SIRO has called for the switching off Ireland's existing, outdated copper broadband network to be fast-tracked. SIRO's Fibre Broadband Network Passes 700,000 The 700, 000th premises passed by SIRO's network is Bray-based print and embroidery specialist, Visual Print. The company was established in 2001 and offers a wide range of printing services, catering to both small and large volume orders. It specialises in direct screen printing, DTF printing and garment embroidery, operating from two warehouse in the Solus Industrial Estate in Bray, employing a staff of 11. Fibre broadband connectivity is a critical enabler of Visual Print's operations used for transferring large design files, online ordering platforms, maintaining networked printers and Cloud-based print management. While Visual Print has switched off its copper-based broadband and moved to SIRO's full fibre broadband, a worrying high number of Irish businesses are yet to make the move. Comreg data indicates that only 12% of business using broadband have a full fibre connection. Fibre to the Premise broadband is accepted as offering faster speeds and a more reliable and resilient connection than copper which can be slower, less dependable and more vulnerable to both storms and cybersecurity issues. Switching off Ireland's existing, outdated copper broadband network will ensure the national standard of connectivity enjoys greater resiliency, is future-proofed, and better equipped to support Ireland withstand challenges such as climate change or the impacts of the current global energy crisis. The process of copper switch off is gathering pace across Europe, with switch off completed or well advanced in France, Spain and Sweden and the U.K.'s commencing next January. However, Ireland does not yet have a national target date for when switch off will start or complete, even though the conditions for beginning the process now exist. This continued reliance on a broadband technology no longer fit for purpose, notwithstanding full fibre alternatives, leave Irish businesses exposed in areas such as the adoption of AI and other new technologies, productivity and profitability. Commenting on Visual Print's recent connection to SIRO's network, Paul Doyle, Managing Director of Visual Print, said: "Since establishing Visual Print more than twenty-five years ago, we have continued to invest in our equipment, facilities and services to ensure we can meet the needs of our customers as the business has grown. "With SIRO's fibre broadband, we have seen a significant improvement in how we manage and process orders internally. Faster, more reliable connectivity has streamlined communication between our team, improved file handling and workflow efficiency, and allows us to provide quicker updates and more accurate lead times to our customers. This has had a direct and positive impact on both our productivity and overall customer experience." Commenting on the milestone, John Keaney, SIRO CEO, said: "Our network now reaching more than 700,000 homes and businesses is another significant milestone for SIRO, while also actively contributing to the overall national objective of a full fibre Gigabit Ireland by 2028. "Reliable and future proofed full fibre broadband connectivity is a key foundation for the continued growth and productivity of Irish business. "As Visual Print's experience demonstrates, switching off copper and switching on to fibre broadband, delivers tangible benefits for Irish business. "Equally, as the global energy crisis continues, more businesses a...

Understanding Negligence: A Deep Dive into Tort LawThis conversation delves into the complexities of tort law, specifically focusing on negligence. It covers the foundational elements of negligence, including duty, breach, causation, and the standard of care. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the policy implications behind these legal concepts, particularly the balancing act between individual autonomy and societal safety. The conversation also explores the nuances of premises liability and the evolving nature of duty in tort law, providing a comprehensive framework for law students preparing for exams.In the intricate world of tort law, negligence stands as a cornerstone concept that every law student must master. This blog post unravels the complexities of negligence, focusing on its foundational elements and the critical role it plays in legal examinations.The Four Pillars of Negligence: Negligence is traditionally broken down into four key elements: duty, breach, causation, and damage. Understanding these components is crucial for any aspiring lawyer. Duty acts as the gatekeeper, determining whether a legal obligation exists between the parties involved. Breach examines whether the defendant failed to meet the standard of care expected. Causation links the breach to the harm caused, while damage assesses the actual harm suffered by the plaintiff.The Role of Duty in Negligence: Duty is the starting point in any negligence analysis. It involves a legal relationship that imposes an obligation of care. Judges play a pivotal role in determining whether a duty exists, often balancing societal interests against individual freedoms. This element is policy-heavy, as it decides if a case belongs in the tort system.Breach and the Reasonable Person Standard: Breach focuses on whether the defendant's actions fell short of the expected standard of care. The "reasonable person" standard is a legal fiction used to assess conduct objectively. It demands that individuals act with the prudence and caution expected of a good citizen, regardless of personal quirks or limitations.Causation and the Hand Formula: Causation is divided into actual cause and proximate cause. The "but for" test is commonly used to establish actual cause, while proximate cause involves policy considerations to limit liability. The Hand Formula, introduced by Judge Learned Hand, provides an economic framework to assess whether conduct was negligent by weighing the burden of precautions against the probability and severity of harm.Conclusion: Mastering negligence requires a deep understanding of its structure and policy implications. By dissecting each element and applying frameworks like the Hand Formula, law students can develop a sophisticated approach to tackling negligence questions in exams. As the legal landscape evolves, the balance between personal prudence and social efficiency remains a central theme in tort law.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in legal education and practice.TakeawaysNegligence is the engine of Tort law.Understanding duty is critical for legal analysis.The reasonable person standard is an objective legal fiction.Judges make policy decisions regarding duty.Negligence per se simplifies breach analysis.The Hand formula assesses the reasonableness of conduct.Causation includes both actual and proximate cause.There is no general duty to rescue strangers.Premises liability varies based on the status of the person.Reasonableness in law involves complex social considerations.torts law, negligence, duty, breach, standard of care, causation, premises liability, hand formula, legal analysis, law school

Episode 80 On November 18, 1947, a fire tore through Ballantynes department store in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 41 people and changing the nation forever. It remains New Zealand's deadliest fire disaster — and one that exposed shocking negligence. In this episode, we retrace the events leading up to the blaze, the chaos of the evacuation, and the devastating aftermath. We'll look at how overcrowding, building construction, and a lack of fire protection systems turned a busy shopping day into tragedy, and how the disaster forced long-overdue changes to fire safety and labor laws. Ballantynes wasn't just a tragedy — it was a turning point. But it also raises a haunting question: why do we keep having to relearn the same lessons, decades later? Listener discretion is advised.

What are the best strategies for addressing extreme risks from artificial superintelligence? In this 4-hour conversation, decision theorist Eliezer Yudkowsky and computer scientist Mark Miller discuss their cruxes for disagreement. They examine the future of AI, existential risk, and whether alignment is even possible. Topics include AI risk scenarios, coalition dynamics, secure systems like seL4, hardware exploits like Rowhammer, molecular engineering with AlphaFold, and historical analogies like nuclear arms control. They explore superintelligence governance, multipolar vs singleton futures, and the philosophical challenges of trust, verification, and control in a post-AGI world.Moderated by Christine Peterson, the discussion seeks the least risky strategy for reaching a preferred state amid superintelligent AI risks. Yudkowsky warns of catastrophic outcomes if AGI is not controlled, while Miller advocates decentralizing power and preserving human institutions as AI evolves.The conversation spans AI collaboration, secure operating frameworks, cryptographic separation, and lessons from nuclear non-proliferation. Despite their differences, both aim for a future where AI benefits humanity without posing existential threats. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our adventure exploring the deeper nature of human life forever seeks to find new bridges — the special connecting insights and nuggets of wisdom that remind us why this journey of discovery is so critical to our personal and collective futures. What is the premise that inspires us to unlock the promise of the human capacity to engage with and shape this emerging new wave of evolution? To help build these bridges of connection, this conversation brings together Aviv Shahar and longtime Portals friend David Price Francis for the 19th episode of their remarkable series “Current Openings.”Even though these are the early days (comparatively) of the emergence of what we call the universal human, Homo Universalis, Aviv and David remind us we can be intentionally present in multiple spaces in the universe today, here and now. We have the capacity and permission of the human design to renew and reconfigure our finer energetic inner lives any time.One bridge into the unknown then might be the awareness of our energetic nature and possibility to actively engage with the flow of an evolving cosmos.Other connecting ideas and scaffolding include:We spiritualize the universe and the world through our refinement — the connection, the embodiment and ensoulment, that enable the universe to birth its higher possibilities through us.Within our carnal form, we're an electromagnetic spirit-soul being; the dimension of energies we process is vast. We can refine, a permission that no other organic life has.We create a space for each other to walk into possibilities that we wouldn't be able to access on our own. That's the other dimension: the universe of energetic potential we create for our collective future.Within the amazing promise and premise of being human is perhaps the greatest gift of all: freedom to decide how to use our life. We can choose to spiritualize our future.Only humans have been given permission to get it wrong; to mess things up. The rest of organic life follows its program; flora and fauna do what they do, naturally, at 100%.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

TWEETABLE QUOTES “When a person has that spiritualized process they walk into the forest, and the trees and the animals, and the flowers they welcome the human. But if the human is full of anger and resentment and the mortgage and what's wrong, and checking their digital media and seeing what's on Twitter whilst they're walking through the forest, well, everything retreats from them because they're on a lower vibration frequency. So we have that amazing promise, but we're not told this is how you have to use it.” (David)“Everything that exists in organic life is processing universal energies, in some fashion, whether lunar energy, solar energy, energy from different planets, it's being processed and received by planet Earth. So I think of the planet in that sense as this amazing crucible of receiving different energies, and she needs form to receive an energy. So whether it be a squirrel, whether it be a cat, whether it be a tree, a bird, everything is processing energetics and delivering that energy into the energy field of the planet.” (David) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteCurrent Openings #19: Spiritualize the Universe – 20 Core Premises

National Broadband Ireland (NBI), the company responsible for delivering the Government's National Broadband Plan (NBP), has announced that over 400,000 homes, farms and businesses in the State's Intervention Area can now connect to high-speed broadband.?This follows a decision earlier this year to accelerate delivery to an additional 65,000 homes, farms and businesses, bringing forward access to high-speed broadband for communities across rural Ireland. NBI has achieved the milestone ahead of schedule, meaning the company is now on course to surpass its 2025 target of 420,000 premises passed. When a premises is passed, an order can be placed to connect to high-speed fibre broadband on the NBI Network. People living and working in rural Ireland can enter their Eircode on the NBI website, www.nbi.ie, to see if their home or business is included in the rollout and how to get connected. With more than 50 broadband providers actively selling on NBI's open-access network, rural communities now have access to the same level of competition and choice as those in urban areas. Customers can select from a wide range of internet providers, with competitive pricing and bundled packages available nationwide. The rollout is already delivering meaningful impact with over 140,000 premises already connected. Take-up rates average 35% and continue to climb, approaching 60% in areas where the network has been live the longest, such as the rural areas near Athlone, Castlebar and Emyvale. Fibre broadband is also available to order on 19 islands, including Achill Islan,d where the first homes and businesses began connecting in June. Independent research continues to highlight the real-world impact of the National Broadband Plan such as improved quality of life and better access to essential services as well as stronger digital capacity for rural businesses. Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, Patrick O'Donovan, T.D. said: "The advent of rural broadband has been truly transformative, not only bridging the digital divide, but also breathing new life into once isolated communities. Even the most remote parts of our country now have the opportunity to sustain local businesses, educate their children, and preserve a way of life in a modern, connected world." "National Broadband Ireland is playing an instrumental role in delivering one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the history of the State.
