Hello and welcome to season nine of Retrograde Amnesia, featuring Skies of Arcadia. In the first (of three) background/information episodes, we'll be talking about the game as it relates to shipping on two GD-ROMs, refusing to appear on modern digital storefronts, becoming crushed by reality, combining World War I & II military ships with the Age of Discovery, communicating with wind, citing influence from Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Dragon Quest III, building the world around six colors, refusing a travel budget, blatantly referencing Moby Dick and Robinson Crusoe, forming the Hottie Production Committee, dynamically adjusting the music, eliminating baby talk, "throwing away the Japanese text," and un-mysterying the misdirection. Realism may not be acceptable for an RPG just yet. 00:00:00 Lost Time 00:01:55 Intro 00:02:54 What Is This 00:04:47 Release Information 00:09:31 How to acquire and play Skies of Arcadia in 2026 00:12:13 Atsushi Seimiya 00:18:15 Shuntaro Tanaka 00:27:20 Reiko Kodama 00:49:31 Soundtrack 00:53:37 Localization 01:03:28 Unsubstantiated Claims 01:09:04 Real Net 01:14:09 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

What does it take to make a modern espionage thriller feel real? In this episode of State Secrets, Suzanne Kelly sits down with acclaimed director Andrew Bernstein to discuss Jack Ryan: Ghost War — the new feature-length installment of the iconic franchise that brings shadow conflict, intelligence operations, and geopolitical tension into sharp focus. Bernstein — whose work includes The Americans and Ozark — reveals how the production worked directly with the Central Intelligence Agency and MI6 to better understand the realities of intelligence work, the emotional toll of covert operations, and the evolving threats facing the West today. The conversation explores the balance between realism and entertainment, why intelligence professionals connected deeply with the film, and how today's gray zone conflicts — from cyber warfare to disinformation campaigns — are shaping modern storytelling. Bernstein also shares behind-the-scenes insight into filming unprecedented action sequences in central London and what it was like screening the movie at CIA headquarters.
In August 1923, halfway through writing ‘Mrs Dalloway', Virginia Woolf recorded a new idea in her diary: she would ‘dig out beautiful caves' behind her characters, and ‘the caves shall connect, and each comes to daylight at the present moment'. This was Woolf's ‘tunnelling process', a transformative approach that led to the novel's celebrated modernist innovations, with its depiction a group of circulating consciousnesses in London over the course of one day. But underlying these innovations are the techniques of 19th-century realism, and in this episode James Wood explores what Woolf owes to Dickens and Flaubert, and the ways she breaks down these certainties to arrive at the ultimate unknowability of character.

In this Daily Editorial, I sit down with TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and Editor of the Profit Pilot website and YouTube channel, to parse through the noise of the current macro headlines and focus strictly on what the charts are telling us. As geopolitical tensions, interest rate speculation, and inflation data continue to flood the news cycle, this conversation digs deep into price action to uncover where the real momentum is hiding and where the next big shifts are likely to occur. Here is a summary of the key topics discussed in this episode: Precious Metals Consolidation vs. Copper Strength: An overview of the current sideways movement in gold and silver as they test critical moving averages, contrasted with the undeniable structural strength and underlying demand driving copper and copper equities. Interest Rates, Bond Support, and Oil Dynamics: A technical look at the critical support levels for TLT and bonds, combined with an analysis of why cooling oil prices could soon alleviate the pressure on interest rates. The S&P 500 Equal-Weight Breakout: Why the recent all-time highs in the equal-weight S&P (RSP) reveal a much healthier, broader market breadth than the bearish headlines suggest. AI-Driven Power Generation and Tech Rotations: A discussion on the shifting opportunities within tech, specifically focusing on energy infrastructure, small modular nuclear reactors, and under-the-radar financial stocks. The Airlines and Oil Pairs Trade: How a distinct technical divergence between airline stocks and crude oil reveals a compelling pair-trade opportunity for savvy investors.

“If you write something you think is really fanciful today, tomorrow's news headlines might be telling the exact same story. That's the challenge of writing realism today — when everything feels so sci-fi and so dystopic.” — Fred Lunzer Boy meets girl meets AI therapist. That is the premise of Sike, the debut novel by Fred Lunzer. Adrian is a rap ghostwriter who has never met any of the rappers he writes for. After a relationship collapse, he signs up for Sike — a Facebook-style AI psychotherapy app that tracks your every move and emotion via smart glasses and guides you toward mental contentment. He meets Maquie, a venture capitalist and Sike refusnik. You can imagine the rest. Sike is a self-consciously “realist” love story set in a world where AI therapy is ubiquitous. Lunzer wanted to write AI fiction that is realistic rather than dystopian or utopian. He started it speculatively. By the time he'd finished, ChatGPT had launched and what he'd once fancifully imagined had become reality. It's the futuristic writer's permanent predicament. Make the future believable before it becomes so familiar that we barely notice it. Turn science fiction into social realism. Five Takeaways • AI Fiction Without Dystopia: The Gap Lunzer Is Filling: Almost all AI fiction is either utopian or dystopian. James Bond loves gadgets. Most literary fiction treats technology as vaguely grubby and pushes it into genre. Lunzer's ambition: find the realism. Write about a world where AI is already everywhere, the initial fears are already past, and we've reached the same ambivalent relationship with it that we have with our smartphones. We don't know what model we have. We barely think about it. That's where the interesting questions live. • Reality Caught Up Before He Finished: Lunzer wrote Sike speculatively. By the time he finished, ChatGPT had launched. William Gibson's observation: the future is already here, just unevenly distributed. His corollary: if you write something fanciful today, it's tomorrow's news story. Lunzer's solution to this perpetual problem is to stop writing near-future speculation and instead set the story in a world where the technology is already past its introduction — where the hype is over and the real reckoning begins. • Realism Is the Hardest Genre Right Now: Andrew's observation: the best AI fiction is realist. Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun treats unimaginable things as taken for granted. That's the technique. Lunzer agrees — and notes that realism is particularly hard to write now because everything already feels surreal. Trump, AI, the state of the world: if you'd described any of it thirty years ago, people would have called it fiction. The challenge of the realist novelist in 2026 is to find the quiet normality inside the chaos. • Non-Polarising AI Fiction: Lunzer deliberately avoided writing a book that slams Meta, or that is obviously pro- or anti-AI. He calls it non-polarised. In Sike, some characters love the AI therapy app, some refuse to use it. No one is obviously right. The book's thesis — insofar as it has one — is that the interesting questions about AI are not the ones about whether it's good or bad, but the ones that arise once you've stopped arguing about that and started living with it. • The Economics of Writing: Trenches, Not Glamour: Lunzer has a day job — AI researcher at Sony. Sike was his first published novel, not his first written. Before it: a travel narrative about the Japanese restaurant industry that went nowhere, and a novel about a global pandemic finished in early 2020 and overtaken by COVID before any publisher would touch it. His verdict on the publishing world: not glamorous. A lot of books. A lot of writers. Not much money except for a few. He got an advance. Most debut novelists don't earn it back. The lesson he draws from Norman Mailer: writing a good novel is like learning to play the piano well. It just takes time. About the Guest Fred Lunzer is an AI researcher at Sony and the author of Sike: A Novel (Celadon Books, 2024; paperback 2026). He was born in London and lives in West Sussex, England.

What happens when a crime drama refuses to rely on Hollywood clichés, opting instead for a gritty, uncompromising look at the revolving door of the American penal system?In this episode of The Dana Buckler Show, host Dana Buckler is joined by special guest David Klein to dive deep into the 1978 neo-noir crime masterpiece, Straight Time.Directed by Ulu Grosbard and starring Dustin Hoffman in one of the most fiercely underrated performances of his career, Straight Time follows Max Dembo, a thief newly released on parole who finds himself trapped between the suffocating grip of a sadistic parole officer (played brilliantly by M. Emmet Walsh) and the inevitable pull of the criminal underworld.Dana and David break down: Dustin Hoffman's Transformative Performance: How Hoffman went all-in on capturing the raw, erratic psychological state of a career criminal. The Incredible Supporting Cast: Shining a spotlight on the phenomenal talents of Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, Theresa Russell, and the legendary M. Emmet Walsh. Realism vs. Hollywood Glamour: Why Edward Bunker's source novel (No Beast So Fierce) provided the film with an unmatched level of authentic criminal grit. The Film's Legacy: Why this 70s hidden gem still holds up today as a masterclass in tension, character study, and neo-noir storytelling. Whether you're a die-hard fan of 1970s cinema or discovering this gritty crime drama for the very first time, this conversation offers deep insights, behind-the-scenes trivia, and plenty of cinematic appreciation.Grab your headphones, hit play, and let's talk Straight Time!Listen to David's podcast "I am The Fly" by going to https://www.iamthefly.org/Listen to David's first appearance on this podcast by going to https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-plus-one-with-author-david-klein/id737566691?i=1000697503492You can order "The Plus One" by going to https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKKZCHHM?ref_=ast_author_mpb or https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-plus-one-getting-by-on-good-connections-in-the-analog-age/2d554789f316ab0dJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin my Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovieHelp Support our work : Cash App $DanaBuckler or Venmo @DanaABuckler Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform by going to https://linktr.ee/DanaBucklerShow #TheDanaBucklerShow #StraightTime #DustinHoffman #DavidKlein #70sCinema #CrimeMovies #NeoNoir #MoviePodcast #FilmTwitter #ClassicMovies #HarryDeanStanton #MEmmetWalsh #Cinemaphile
Philosophy of Physics Meets Quantum Engineering with Elise CrullWhy This Episode MattersElise Crull is Associate Professor of Philosophy at CCNY and the CUNY Graduate Center, co-author with Guido Bacciagaluppi of The Einstein Paradox (Cambridge, 2024), and was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2025 for her archival work recovering voices like Grete Hermann from the foundations of quantum mechanics. She was also one of the speakers on Helgoland in June 2025 for the centenary of quantum mechanics — opening, as Sebastian notes, by thanking the organizers for the courage to invite a philosopher.This conversation matters because the truce between physicists and philosophers of physics is over. Quantum computing has turned interpretive questions — what counts as entanglement, what decoherence really is, whether causal order can be put in superposition — into engineering questions with budget consequences. If you build, fund, or write about quantum hardware, this episode will sharpen how you hear the words being used around you.SponsorThis episode is brought to you by Outshift, Cisco's incubation engine. The need for computational power is rapidly increasing in every sector. From drug discovery to material innovation to complex financial modeling, classical systems are reaching their absolute limits.

We make choices about how to encounter it."On decoherence vs. noise: Crull notes the question physicists at Duke recently raised with her — how do you tell the difference between decoherence and noise? — and stresses that one is something you shield against, the other is something else entirely. Error correction strategy depends on the distinction.On what really bothered Einstein: Despite the popular story, "He wasn't as concerned about determinism as you would think." What Einstein wanted was a theory whose mathematics had a one-to-one mapping to individual systems with their own states — and entanglement broke that.On indefinite causal order: Experimentalists often equate causation with signaling constraints, but "those are very different things." The superposition-of-causal-orders results may reveal less about causation than about the fact that temporal ordering itself remains defined in irreducibly classical ways.
Most of us today would assume that morality and ethics, being value propositions, are questions for inspired leaders, religious creeds, poets—in other words, for the humanities. But what if I told you that we can construct a system of ethics and morality by studying math—more specifically: the laws of thermodynamics? That's what Professor Drew M Dalton argues in his latest book. Dalton traces a line of metaphysical inquiry from Kant through Spinoza, Nietzsche, and others up to today to show how we get from E=mc2 to a full-throated call to resist evil and alleviate suffering to our very last breath. By overturning our assumptions about the nature and value of reality, The Matter of Evil: From Speculative Realism to Ethical Pessimism (Northwestern UP, 2024) presents a provocative new model of ethical responsibility that is both logically justifiable and scientifically sound. Dalton argues for “ethical pessimism,” a position previously marginalized in the West, as a means to cultivate an account of ethical responsibility and political activism that takes seriously the unbecoming of being and the moral horror of existence. Drew M. Dalton is a professor of English at Indiana University, having received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Leuven in Belgium. His research focuses on the normative implications of different metaphysical systems and, specifically, he's interested in how questions of right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and pleasure are framed within aesthetics, literary theory, ethics, and political philosophy. He is the author of Longing for the Other: Levinas and Metaphysical Desire (Duquesne University Press, 2009), The Ethics of Resistance: Tyranny of the Absolute (Bloomsbury, 2018), and The Matter of Evil: From Speculative Realism to Ethical Pessimism (Northwestern University Press, 2023).

Voters in this month's elections in Great Britain delivered a shocking win for Reform UK, and was a clear rebuke of the “green” Net Zero agenda of the political elites. Politicians and parties that put the environmental movement over the real-world concerns of Britons, especially energy costs, have no future. On Episode #202 of The Climate Realism Show, we will talk with special guest Lois Perry, director of Heartland UK/Europe, to break down what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the climate agenda on both sides of the Atlantic. We will also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including how masculinity is supposedly bad for the Earth, Danish nursing home residents are restricted to just 2.8 ounces of meat per day as punishment being “the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives,” and an big Hollywood producer says oil companies (or climate change) were responsible for the devastating Palisades fire in LA.

Why does dentistry on social media look so perfect? Are those flawless before-and-after cases the reality of everyday practice—or just the highlight reel? And why aren't we talking more openly about the failures, frustrations, and imperfect outcomes that every dentist experiences? In this episode, Dr Artem Mkrtichyan joins Jaz for a refreshingly honest conversation about the realities of modern dentistry. Known for his candid and relatable social media posts, Dr. Artem has built a following by sharing what many dentists think—but rarely say out loud: dentistry is hard, results aren't always perfect, and social media often paints an unrealistic picture of the profession. https://youtu.be/uTKaeewgrgE Watch IC074 on YouTube Key Takeaways Social media has become a powerful tool for dentists to connect and share experiences. Mistakes in clinical practice are common and should be openly discussed. Rural practice may not always lead to higher income as expected. Success in dentistry is subjective and varies for each individual. Continuous learning and skill development are crucial for career growth. Financial freedom in dentistry is not guaranteed and varies widely. Networking and mentorship can significantly impact career progression. Social media can be leveraged to attract patients and build a personal brand. Highlights of this episode: 00:00 Teaser 00:18 Introduction 02:24 Meet Dr Artem Mkrtichyan 05:27 Rejections And Resilience 09:03 Why Honesty Wins 10:58 Rural Dentistry Reality 14:58 Handling Online Criticism 16:01 Associate Vs Owner Myth 18:05 Midroll: Protrusive App 22:48 Dentistry Money Reality 26:57 Design Your Career Path 28:00 Standing Out In Saturated Markets 29:27 Content Marketing Strategy 31:46 Veneer Minimum Ethics 33:48 Final Advice And Community If this episode resonated with you, don't miss “I Committed Fraud – Learn from My Mistakes” – PDP248 #InterferenceCast #BeyondDentistry This episode is not eligible for CPD/CE points, but never fear, there are hundreds of hours of CPD waiting for you on the Ultimate Education Plan.
I thought that before turning to the present-day literature, it would be helpful to take a look at the state of monetary thought at the outset of World War I, in order to appreciate the progress that had been achieved since then. I opened the book at Christmas of 1992 and was in for a great surprise. This old master excelled in clarity of expression, and he had dealt with a subject of immense importance—the nature, causes, and consequences of the subjective value of money. From my previous studies I knew that this topic had not made it into the standard texts in money and banking. Mises demonstrated that this omission had been a grave error.
Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – The world has already entered a form of World War III—not necessarily through formal declarations or great-power armies marching across borders, but through sanctions regimes, proxy wars, energy chokepoints, currency battles, trade restrictions, drone warfare, and the accelerated fragmentation of the U.S.-led global order...
Upon taking office in 2025, Donald Trump immediately got busy reversing and defunding the previous administration's radical climate and energy agenda. That sent a message to the world: You may still cast America as the “villain” in your narrative of panic, but America will no longer play the fool.Net Zero may still be official policy in several European countries, but it's clear they are decreasingly serious about implementing it. Governments are pushing once-critical deadlines to achieve Net Zero farther out into the future, or signaling the project will be wholly abandoned. Even Germany, once the poster child of Net Zero zealousness, is bringing fossil fuels back. Many private-sector titans joined the Net Zero craze with their own virtue-signaling promises. Those, too, are proving to be as reliable as a dieter who will always start tomorrow.On Episode #201 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will talk about all this, and more, including the Crazy Climate News of the Week. You can add getting old to the list of things that cause climate change. Did Al Gore really just say we now need to worry about a coming ice age? Bugs are off the menu again. And the newest threat to the climate is something we all do: get older.Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

On Episode 109 of the Daebak K-Rambles Podcast, Jess and Carol from the Kdrama Musings Podcast tackle the complicated love stories, emotional realism, and sex of Adult K-Drama Romance.We put forth that adult K-drama romance thrives in the space where love is no longer idealized, but negotiated—messy, intentional, and shaped by regret, timing, and consequence. We unpack love stories where chemistry isn't proof of compatibility like Nevertheless, where timing can ruin even perfect connections like Something in the Rain, and where second chances may or may not guarantee healing like Our Beloved Summer and What Comes After Love. These are not beginner romances—they require emotional literacy, where love is examined alongside agency, power, and self-awareness.We also dig into how adult K-dramas challenge the genre's unspoken purity rules while often acknowledging sex, consent, or pragmatic separation. Shows like Love to Hate You and Hit the Spot push against the typical chaste K-drama formula, while power-laden romances like The Red Sleeve and emotionally restrained narratives like My Liberation Notes reveal that love doesn't fix structural imbalance—or even emotional emptiness.Across stories like Go Back Couple, The World of the Married, Secret Love Affair, and Reflection of You, adult romance emerges as a genre where “happily ever after” is replaced with something more honest.GUEST: CarolKdrama Musings Podcast: Available on Spotify, Google, AppleInstagram: @kdramasmusingsTikTok: @kdramamusingsAll K-dramas discussed within this episode: Practical Guide to Love, Love Me, Perfect Crown, The Trunk, Twenty-Five Twenty-One, Romance Is a Bonus Book, On the Way to the Airport, Gold Land, Go Back Couple, Alone in Love, Familiar Wife, The World of the Married, Behind Every Star, Nevertheless, Something in the Rain, Record of Youth, My Liberation Notes, The Red Sleeve, My Dearest, Our Beloved Summer, What Comes After Love, Love to Hate You, Hit the Spot, Summer Scent, A Man and a Woman (movie), Search: WWW, I Need Romance (series), Dalja's Spring, Hyena, Secret Love Affair, Bad Boy, Reflection of YouIntro Music Credit: “Golden Coconut Club” by Tearliner, from the Cheese in the Trap OST.

Spring is here, which means it is Hurricane Season, Tornado Season, Allergy Season, all normal and natural aspects of life on Earth. Climate alarmists, however, will be telling you this year promises to be the worst season ever, and it's your fault. We will prepare you to counter this propaganda with the truth. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin slaying members of Congress (rhetorically) on Capitol Hill, the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is finally abandoning its always-absurd worst-case-scenario for global warming, a hare-brained scheme to dam the Bering Strait to save the planet, New York's climate mandates are dramatically spiking energy prices for middle class residents of a New York City co-op, and do we kind of agree with what King Charles said about environmentalism in front of Congress?The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will talk about all this, and more, on Episode #200 of The Climate Realism Show.

In the late 1870s, shortly after the publication of Anna Karenina, Tolstoy experienced what might be described today as a midlife crisis. In his short autobiographical book A Confession, finished in 1880, he questioned what meaning there is in life that is not annihilated by the inevitability of death. His answer was to live according to God's law, a realisation that shaped that rest of his life and writing, and guides the story of his late masterpiece, The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886). To discuss The Death of Ivan Ilyich and its place both in Tolstoy's work and the development of realism, James is joined by the novelist Elif Batuman. They consider the way Tolstoy takes up Flaubert's contempt for bourgeois life and strips it down to a spare fable of delusion and awakening, and why the unique authority of his style has proved so resistant to the critiques of realism in the 20th century. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from the episode.

Host Pete Deeley welcomes Coral Belt Professor Dave Meyer to The Jiu Jitsu Mindset, noting Meyer's Ageless Warrior Lab podcast and his animal welfare work. Meyer explains he began ujitsu jat age six, making it inseparable from his identity, and says martial arts discipline and strategy improved his effectiveness in animal welfare, where he raised $160 million. He connects martial arts ethos—being "the help," defending the weak, and controlling ego—to his choice to advocate for animals, reinforced by his religious upbringing's "repair the world" ethic. Meyer discusses prioritizing time (including choosing not to have a TV), a pivotal wake-up from a cousin's tragic death, and why Jiu Jitsu learning requires partners and constant failure. He argues competition is optional but valuable for stress, learning, and adrenal response, shares memorable matches (including a superfight with Fabio Santos), mentions mentoring Brian Johnson's Seattle school, and briefly recounts playing pop-rock in late-1980s LA. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:24 Life Without Jiu Jitsu 04:29 Warrior Ethos and Animal Welfare 08:47 Discipline Time and Focus 13:56 Mortality Wake Up Call 16:40 How Jiu Jitsu Learning Works 20:26 Competition for Everyone 24:09 Adrenaline Stress and Realism 26:06 What Winning Really Means 27:00 Winning Versus Growth 27:50 Competition As Stress Training 28:36 Most Memorable Match 29:55 Black Belt Heartbreak 30:55 Fabio Santos Superfight 33:27 Hot Mat Chaos 35:08 Brazil Trip And Medal 36:01 Mentoring Brian Johnson 38:20 Rock And Roll Years 42:10 LA Talent Clusters 45:22 Martial Arts Mecca LA 47:09 Superhero Name And Podcast
Earth Day 2026 came and went without the energy and attention of past years. There was less climate scolding and fewer denunciations of the “high-carbon lifestyle” than in years past. As Heartland's Anthony Watts said, “Earth Day today feels increasingly detached from the kind of environmental problems that gave rise to it in 1970.” Is this the year climate realists — who know Earth Day is about ecology and genuine environmental protection — begin to take the holiday back from the radicals?The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and special guest Marc Morano of CFACT will talk it over, as well as cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week. In 2023, two South Florida counties spent $100 million in taxpayer dollars on electric buses that were eventually going to replace the entire fleet. None of them have been in service for more than a year and … we told you so. Climate alarmists are so desperate to get their message out that they are resorting to OnlyFans. And do you remember the D.C. sewage spill in the Potomac? The New York Times remembers, but fails to mention that the main cause of one of the worst river pollution events in American history was environmental radicalism as government policy.We will be LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

Jesus invites us into a life of hopeful realism. To be human is to wrestle with the presence of evil in a world we wish were different. We often feel an urgent pressure to "fix" the world by taking matters into our own hands. Yet Jesus, through the parable of the wheat and weeds, offers a path of hopeful realism. In this sermon, we explore the nature of hopeful realism as the kingdom develops from small beginnings into a global harvest.
This 2022 episode covers how Courbet was iconic even in his own lifetime. He flew in the face of artistic convention, ushered in a new movement of Realism in France, and became embroiled in the country’s political turmoil. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No other podcast has this: https://economist.com/TOE This conversation belongs in a category I wish were larger on this channel: the experimentalist who also thinks (deeply) about foundations. Professor Aephraim Steinberg, winner of Physics World's Breakthrough of the Year in 2011, is that species! For basically 30 years, he's been measuring aspects of physics that others wouldn't touch: Bohmian trajectories, Heisenberg's disturbance bound (he showed it was wrong), even where the photon is inside the double slit (which most textbooks will tell you is impossible). His lab measured negative time — and it keeps reappearing across completely different experiments, stubbornly suggesting it means something.

Alyson and Breht apply dialectical and historical materialist analysis to the current war of aggression in Iran. Together they break down the Marxist methodology into its three main parts - dialectics, materialism, and history - and showcase how they apply to the US and Israeli war on Iran, before bringing them back together into a coherent whole. Then they compare and contrast dialectical and historical materialism as a mode of analysis to other forms of analysis: from academic modes like liberal internationalism and Realism to common popular modes like conspiracy theories and moralism. Throughout the process, they aim to show the superior clarity and demystification offered by Marxism in understanding our world, as it unfolds in real time. ---------------------------------------------------- Check out our NEW REV LEFT MERCH with Goods For The People HERE Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 200 At the end of the day, the magic that makes the American Experiment work is that it is grounded in an astute understanding of human nature and political realism. Almost nowhere is this fact more evident than in Federalist 51 (https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-04-02-0199), written by either James Madison or Alexander Hamilton in early 1788. In this Federalist Paper, addressed to the people of the State of New York, Madison (or Hamilton) makes the case for the need for a federal government but also one with divided powers. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through Federalist 51 and explains its relevance to our "anti-Woke" approach. Join him to see how solid America's founding really was. Latest from New Discourses Press!
