This week's guest is Vishal Jadhav, Product Director at Blue Yonder. Everyone listening to this podcast knows of Blue Yonder. It is a company with a long history, from I2 to JDA, that has consistently been on the cutting edge of supply chain management software. Vishal has spent almost 20 years at Blue Yonder. His recent work and writings have delved into the evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) and how they are being incorporated into supply chain solutions. Our conversation explores the differences between traditional Operations Research (OR) techniques and modern AI. Vishal highlights how these technologies can enhance optimization and decision-making by mimicking human reasoning and learning from experience. We also address the challenges of explainability in AI and the emerging concept of agentic AI, which suggests a future of more proactive and autonomous systems within the supply chain.

In this episode of The Geek in Review, we welcome back Pablo Arredondo, VP of CoCounsel at Thomson Reuters, along with Joel Hron, the company's CTO. The conversation centers on the recent release of ChatGPT-5 and the rise of “reasoning models” that go beyond traditional language models' limitations. Pablo reflects on his years of tracking neural net progress in the legal field, from escaping “keyword prison” to the current ability of AI to handle complex, multi-step legal reasoning. He describes scenarios where entire litigation records could be processed to map out strategies for summary judgment motions, calling it a transformative step toward what he sees as “celestial legal products.”Joel brings an engineering perspective, comparing the legal sector's AI trajectory to the rapid advancements in AI developer tools. He notes that these tools have historically amplified the skills of top performers rather than leveling the playing field. Applied to law, he believes AI will free lawyers from rote work and allow them to focus on higher-value decisions and strategy. The discussion shifts to Deep Research, Thomson Reuters' latest enhancement for CoCounsel, which leverages reasoning models in combination with domain-specific tools like KeyCite to follow “breadcrumb trails” through case law with greater accuracy and transparency.The trio explores the growing importance of transparency and verification in AI-driven research. Joel explains how Deep Research provides real-time visibility into an AI's reasoning path, highlights potentially hallucinated citations, and integrates verification tools to cross-check references against authoritative databases. Pablo adds historical and philosophical perspective, likening hallucinations to a tiger “going tiger,” stressing that while the risk cannot be eliminated, the technology already catches a significant number of human errors. Both agree that AI tools must be accompanied by human oversight and well-designed workflows to build trust in their output.Looking to the future, Joel predicts that the adoption of AI agents will reshape organizational talent strategies, elevating the importance of those who excel at complex decision-making. Pablo proposes “ambient AI” as the next frontier—intelligent systems that unobtrusively monitor legal work, flagging potential issues instantly, much like a spellchecker. Both caution that certain legal tasks, especially in judicial opinion drafting, warrant careful consideration before fully integrating AI. The episode closes with practical insights on staying current, from following AI researchers on social platforms to reading technical blogs and academic papers, underscoring the need for informed engagement in this rapidly evolving space.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube[Special Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.] Blue Sky: @geeklawblog.com @marlgebEmail: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCiccaAcademic Papers:Weekly research for trends.scholar.google.com,ssrn.com,arxiv.orgFrançois Chollet: Balanced AI insights. x.com/fcholletfchollet.comJason Wei (OpenAI): Reinforcement learning updates. x.com/jason_d_weopenai.com/blogGeoffrey Hinton: AI research insights.x.com/geoffreyhintonRichard Sutton: Reinforcement learning and philosophical takes.incompleteideas.netReinforcement Learning: An Introduction (Book):http://incompleteideas.net/book/RLbook2020.pdfSeminal work by Turing Award winner.University of Alberta Lab: https://rlai-lab.github.ioCurrent research on scalable AI methods.Blue Sky: @geeklawblog.com @marlgebEmail: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCiccaTranscript
Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we kick off Season 14, I've been revisiting past episodes and reflecting on the incredible insights our guests have shared since we first launched in 2019. I mentioned last week that this reflection started when a young filmmaker, Vishal Sharma[i], reached out to me and offered to create YouTube Shorts[ii] from past interviews. When I saw his first example, something clicked. As I reviewed older episodes, I realized I had only scratched the surface of the lessons within each interview. So as we dive into this review of past conversations, know that this review isn't just for you—it's for me as well. I've learned that slowing down helps us to uncover even more wisdom, and I'm excited for us to walk this path together. For today's Episode 367, we're going back to Episode 66[iii] with the late Bob Proctor—the first person who challenged me to think. Last week we covered our first YouTube Short[iv] where we picked out three important nuggets of wisdom that I had missed until re-listening to this episode. We covered in PART 1: ✔ Top Lesson from Episode 66 – Where we refined the question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” hoping that midway through 2025, we can refine our goals, and see if we are on track. ✔ Sage Advice Tip #1: “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment. “We explored how to go beyond our five senses and tap into the six higher faculties of our mind (further developing our reason, intuition, perception, will, memory and imagination.” ✔ Sage Advice Tip #2: “There's only one mind.” We looked at how our actions matter because we are all deeply connected. ✔ Sage Advice Tip#3: “We are a soul—we don't have one.” We reflected on the perfection within each of us, and how this perfection continually drives us toward bigger and better possibilities. Today, we are going to cover 2 short video clips and dive into the wisdom contained within each, making the connections with each nugget of wisdom learned. And since I'm always looking to connect the science to our learning, there are some age-old success principles we will cover today, that are proven to work time and time again. While science doesn't call out the success principles exactly as we will cover them today, Stanford University neuroscientist and tenured professor of neurobiology, Dr. Andrew Huberman does discuss “the science of imagination and its impact on creativity and learning” on his recent podcast episode “The Science of Creativity: How to Enhance Creative Innovation.”[v] Keep an open mind, as we discover how we can rise to new levels of success by applying the timeless principles we explored in Episode 66. For today's EP 367-PART 2 of our review of EP 66, we will cover: Sage Tip #1: In the first clip we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” The key is to choose one of these faculties and dedicate time to studying and applying it until you see real results from your deeper understanding. You could even spend an entire year on just one faculty, and it would be time well invested. Sage Tip #2: In the second clip we learned that “Goals are not set to get; they are set to grow.” Sometimes goals don't unfold the way we expect, and that's okay—as long as we keep moving forward and growing. To do this, we must keep studying, learning about ourselves, clarifying what we truly want, and seeking specialized knowledge in our field from those who have gone before us. VIDEO 1 Watch by Clicking Here Click on the link in the show notes to watch video clip 1 where I asked the question “what are some of the common reasons why people don't reach their full potential” as I've always wondered why many of us get stuck. It really has boggled my mind over the years why there is such a puzzle around reaching high levels of success and achievement. Myself included. Bob replied with “well, the answer to that is pretty obvious. We were not taught anything about ourselves” and he went right back to how we were never taught how to live beyond our five senses, and most of us haven't fully developed the six faculties of our mind that we went into on EP 294[vi] and he said that we let the outside world control us. That rang true to me. It's a rare individual who moves forward, towards their goals, past the many obstacles they face. Something always seems to get in the way, and delay progress, but those who achieve these high levels of success, have become masters at moving forward, despite what they face. Sage Tip #1: If we want to improve our RESULTS, we are going to have to narrow in on the six faculties of our mind (our reason, intuition, perception, will, memory and imagination). You can review the 6 faculties on EP 294[vii] where we covered each faculty, with examples on how to develop them. We could spend years working on each faculty, to really sharpen the saw. I remember when I first found a book on how to develop my intuition (one of the 6 faculties of the mind). It was my early days of living in the US (after moving from Toronto to Arizona in 2001, sometime after September 11th had happened) and I was cleaning someone's house (after the work I was doing in the seminar industry came to a fast halt without the ability for people to travel by air) I found work that brought me more money than I imagined possible. It was a humbling time, that's for sure. I noticed this book on a book shelf and asked the owner if I could read her book, and bring it back when I returned. I remember she looked at me and said “keep it!” and took it off her book shelf. I must have given that book to someone else to read, (following her example) but I still have the next one I bought after that, called Developing Intuition by Shakti Gawain.[viii] Take your time learning these six intellectual factors. Each one, will serve you well once you learn how to use them, and developing these faculties would be one of the main differentiators that Bob mentioned separated those who achieved their goals, from those who did not. The biggest lesson I learned from diving into my intuitive factor (from reading these books) was learning to trust myself with the insights that would flash on the screen of my mind, (as learned from The Silva Method EP 261),[ix] or listening to my body with what neuroscience calls interoception and finally, applying this intuition to my work life, something that 20 years ago, was not a concept ever spoken about in our corporate workplaces. I'll never forget when Greg Link, who took the 7 Habits Book to great heights with the Covey Organization, mentioned this book on Intuition, on EP 207[x] on “Unleashing Greatness with Neuroscience, Trust and the 7 Habits.” If Gawain's book on Intuition was on Greg Link's book shelf, I think that's enough to say it comes highly recommended. To sharpen your saw on these higher faculties, go back and review EP 274, and make it a mission to work on one faculty at a time, until you are using each one, effectively, in your daily life. This will be time well spent. VIDEO 2 Watch by Clicking Here Click on the link in the show notes to watch video clip 2. ✔ Sage Advice Tip #2: In this clip we learned that “Goals are set not to get, they are set to grow. And sometimes if the goals don't work, that's ok. As long as you keep going, and growing. The main thing is that you keep growing, and become more of what you are designed to become. We have to keep doing greater good, and expand on what we are doing.” Then he went back to Thomas Troward's quote that we covered last week, saying that “spirit is always for expansion and fuller expression” which explains that we will want to do bigger and better things all the time. To do this, he says, “we will need help, because specialized knowledge is so important.” Keep Growing There is a lot to think about with this tip. How do you keep growing? I think the answer to this is to keep studying and learning about yourself. I sometimes hear my kids say they want to do something (can we go to the mall) because they are bored, and I think, “why not read a book” and take your mind on a trip inside the pages of a book. I want to hand them Shakti Gawain's book on Developing Intuition and tell them to come back to me in a year and tell me what they have learned, but in order to study and do the work needed, it has to come from within each person. You'll agree with me if you have ever tried to force someone to read a book that you are enjoying. It's much easier to transfer knowledge to others just by living by example. Do your own work. Keep studying, learning, growing, and when asked what you are reading, share what you are doing. You won't be surprised when others come back and tell you that they have bought the book you are reading, and share with you what they have learned. Learning is contagious, but it must come from within each person, when they are ready. Specialized Knowledge We covered the importance of this topic on PART 3 of our Review of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book back on EP 193[xi] as this book has a whole chapter dedicated to Specialized Knowledge. Just to review, and further hone in on what it is that we want, chapter 5 of Hill's book reminds us that an understanding of specialized knowledge will separate you from everyone else, making you special with the knowledge you have acquired. In chapter 5 Hill teaches us that knowledge (general or specialized) must be “organized and intelligently directed” (CH 5, page 79, TAGR) “and is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.” While we are working on whatever it is that we want, and we are studying and learning, and growing as a result of this, we now add the understanding of asking others who have knowledge that we need (specialized knowledge) that we will take, organize it, and use it in pursuit of whatever it is we are working on. REVIEW and CONCLUSION To wrap up this week's Episode 367—where we revisited two powerful clips from Episode 66, our interview with Bob Proctor—we explored: Sage Tip #1: In the first clip we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” The key is to choose one of these faculties and dedicate time to studying and applying it until you see real results from your deeper understanding. You could even spend an entire year on just one faculty, and it would be time well invested. Sage Tip #2: In the second clip we learned that “Goals are not set to get; they are set to grow.” Sometimes goals don't unfold the way we expect, and that's okay—as long as we keep moving forward and growing. To do this, we must keep studying, learning about ourselves, clarifying what we truly want, and seeking specialized knowledge in our field from those who have gone before us. I hope that these tips that I wanted to revisit have helped you to continue to sharpen your saw, and bring you closer to whatever it is that you are working on this year. What I'm learning is that there isn't an end to this process. We will always seek “fuller and greater expression” and to dedicate time to studying and learning about ourselves, we separating ourselves from those who struggle to reach their goals, to the ones who attain them, and then reach out to help others do the same. With that thought, we will close out this episode and I'll see you next week, for PART 3 of our review of EP 66.

The United States, once a global leader in scientific innovation, is facing a politically driven dismantling of its research infrastructure. Federal support for crucial areas like climate change and public health is being slashed, scientists are fired, and grants canceled. This isn't just a war on science; it's a direct assault on truth, reason, and public well-being. This deliberate defunding and silencing of scientific voices for ideological reasons represents a slow-motion collapse of American scientific leadership. When dogma dictates discovery, and facts are suppressed to preserve comfort, it's clear who truly suffers: the public, left vulnerable and manipulated by a system that prioritizes control over collective knowledge and progress. It's a shocking betrayal of public trust.News Source: The gutting of America's scientific research By Mel Gurtov for Z Network July 21, 2025

"If you're going to be running a very elite research institution, you have to have the best people. To have the best people, you have to trust them and empower them. You can't hire a world expert in some area and then tell them what to do. They know more than you do. They're smarter than you are in their area. So you've got to trust your people. One of our really foundational commitments to our people is: we trust you. We're going to work to empower you. Go do the thing that you need to do. If somebody in the labs wants to spend 5, 10, 15 years working on something they think is really important, they're empowered to do that." - Doug Burger Fresh out of the studio, Doug Burger, Technical Fellow and Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Research, joins us to explore Microsoft's bold expansion into Southeast Asia with the recent launch of the Microsoft Research Asia lab in Singapore. From there, Doug shares his accidental journey from academia to leading global research operations, reflecting on how Microsoft Research's open collaboration model empowers over thousands of researchers worldwide to tackle humanity's biggest challenges. Following on, he highlights the recent breakthroughs from Microsoft Research for example, the quantum computing breakthrough with topological qubits, the evolution from lines of code to natural language programming, and how AI is accelerating innovation across multiple scaling dimensions beyond traditional data limits. Addressing the intersection of three computing paradigms—logic, probability, and quantum—he emphasizes that geographic diversity in research labs enables Microsoft to build AI that works for everyone, not just one region. Closing the conversation, Doug shares his vision of what great looks like for Microsoft Research with researchers driven by purpose and passion to create breakthroughs that advance both science and society.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hi everyone! In our last two episodes, we explored the Oracle Cloud Success Navigator platform. This week and next, we're diving into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications with Sarah Mahalik, a Cloud Delivery Lead here at Oracle. We'll ask Sarah about Oracle's cloud apps suite, the Redwood design system, and also look at some of Oracle's AI capabilities. 01:02 Nikita: Yeah, let's jump right in. Hi Sarah! How does Oracle approach the SaaS model? Sarah: Oracle's Cloud Applications suite is a complete enterprise cloud designed to modernize your business. Our cloud suite of SaaS applications, which includes Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP, Supply Chain Management, or SCM, Human Capital Management, or HCM, and Customer Experience, or CX, brings consistent processes and a single source of truth across the most important business functions. At Oracle, we own all of the technology stacks that power our suite of cloud applications. Oracle Cloud Applications are built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and ensure the performance, resiliency, and security that enterprises need. Your business no longer needs to worry about maintaining a data center, hardware, operating systems, database, network, or all of the security. With deep integrations, a common data model, and a unified user interface, these applications help improve customer engagement, increase agility, and accelerate response to change. Oracle's Cloud Applications are updated quarterly with new features and improvements. These updates are based on our deep understanding of customer's functional needs, as well as modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and digital assistants. Expectations for user experience only go up. Oracle's Redwood User Experience methodology ensures those expectations are matched and exceeded by including powerful and predictive search, a look and feel that actually helps users see what they need to in the order they need to see it, and by providing conversational and micro-interactions. Oracle, as a SaaS provider, puts the customer first by having enough dedicated resources to ensure zero downtime and increasing the speed of implementation by eliminating much of the hardware and software setup activity. 02:59 Nikita: What are the advantages of adopting Oracle Cloud Apps? Sarah: First off, Oracle provides automatic quarterly updates, and they're usable immediately. Customers can focus on leveraging the new functionality instead of spending cycles on installing it. There's much more accessibility because Oracle hosts the heavy part of the applications and customers access it via thin clients. The applications can be used from nearly anywhere and on a wide range of devices, including smartphones and tablets. Another great advantage is speed and agility. A lot of the benefits you see here result from Oracle's provider model. That means customers aren't spending time on customization, application testing, and report development. Instead, they work on the much lighter and faster tasks of configuration, validation, and leveraging embedded analytics. And finally, it's just better economics. Because of the pricing model, it is easy to compare an on-premises implementation cost. While upfront costs are almost always lower, overall operational costs and risk are usually lower as well. This translates to better total cost of ownership and improved overall economics and agility for your business. 04:10 Lois: Sarah, in your experience, why do customers love Oracle Cloud Apps? Sarah: At Oracle, we empower you with embedded AI that drives real breakthroughs in productivity and efficiency, helping you stay ahead of the curve. With the power of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you get the best of performance, security, and scalability, making it the perfect foundation for your business. Our modern user experience is intuitive and designed with your needs in mind, while our relentless innovation is focused on what truly matters to you. Above all, our commitment to your success is unwavering. We're here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you thrive and grow with Oracle. 04:49 Lois: Let's talk about Oracle's Redwood design system. What is it? And how does it enhance the user experience? Sarah: Redwood is the name of Oracle's next-generation user experience. Redwood design system is a collection of prefabricated components, templates, and patterns to enable developers to quickly create very sophisticated and polished interactions that are upgrade safe. It provides a consumer grade-plus experience, where you have high-quality functionality that can be used across multiple devices. You have access to insightful data readily at your fingertips for quick access and decision making, with the option to personalize your application to create your own state of the art experience. Processes and entry time will now be more efficient and streamlined by having fewer clicks and faster downloads, which will lead to high productivity in areas that matter the most. The Redwood design is intelligent, meaning you have access to AI, where you will receive recommendations and guidance based on your preferences and business processes. It's also adaptable, allowing you to use the same tools to create new experiences by using the Business Rule Framework with modern UX components. Oracle's Redwood user experience will help you to be more productive, efficient, and engaged with a highly personalized experience. 06:11 Are you keen to stay ahead in today's fast-paced world? We've got your back! Each quarter, Oracle rolls out game-changing updates to its Fusion Cloud Applications. And to make sure you're always in the know, we offer New Features courses that give you an insider's look at all of the latest advancements. Don't miss out! Head over to mylearn.oracle.com to get started. 06:37 Nikita: Welcome back! Sarah, you said the Redwood design system is adaptable. Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? Sarah: In a nutshell, this means that developers can extend their applications using the same development platform that Oracle Cloud Applications are built on. Oracle Visual Builder Studio is a robust application development platform that enables users to rapidly create and extend web, mobile, and progressive web interfaces using a visual development environment. It streamlines application development and reduces coding, while also providing flexibility and support for popular build and testing frameworks. With Oracle Visual Builder Studio, users can build apps for the web, create progressive web apps, and develop on-device mobile apps. The tool also offers access to REST services and allows for planning and managing development processes, as well as managing the code lifecycle. Additionally, Oracle Visual Builder Studio provides hosting for apps along with easy publishing and version management. Changes made using Visual Builder Studio are called Application Extensions. Visual Builder Studio Express Mode has two key components: Business Rules and Constants. Use Business Rules, which is the Redwood equivalent to Transaction Design Studio for responsive pages, to leverage delivered best practices or create your own rules based on various criteria, such as country and business unit. Make fields and regions required or optional, read-only or editable, and show or hide fields in regions, depending on specific criteria. Use the various delivered Constants to customize your Redwood pages to best fit your specific business needs, such as hide the evaluation panel and connections or reorder the columns in the person search result table. 08:23 Lois: Sarah, here's a question that's probably on everyone's mind—what about AI for Fusion Applications? Sarah: Oracle integrates AI into Fusion Applications, enabling faster, better decision making and empowering your workforce. With both classic and generative AI embedded, customers can access AI-driven insights seamlessly within their everyday software environment. In HCM, AI helps to automate routine tasks. It's also used to attract and manage talent more efficiently by doing things like reducing the time to hire and performing automatic skill matching for job vacancies. It also uses some of that skill matching for existing employees to optimize their engagement, improve productivity, and maximize career growth. All the while, it provides suggested actions so that those tasks are quick, accurate, and easy. In SCM, AI helps predict order cycle times by analyzing historical data and trends, allowing for more accurate planning. It also generates item descriptions automatically and uncovers potential suppliers by analyzing market data, thereby improving efficiency and sourcing decisions. With ERP, it's all about delivering efficiencies and improving strategic contributions. You can use AI to automate some of the core processes and provide guided actions for users in the rest of the processes. This is our recipe for improved efficiency and reduced human error. For example, in Payables, you can use AI features to accelerate and simplify invoice processing and identify duplicate transactions. And in CX, AI helps you to identify which sales leads offer the greatest potential, provides real-time news alerts, and then recommends actions to ensure that reps are working on the right opportunity at the right time and improving conversion to sale. 10:11 Lois: Everyone's heard about AI agents, but I've always wondered how they work. Sarah: AI agents are a combination of large language models and other advanced technologies that interact with their environments, automate complex tasks, and collaborate with employees in real time. Reasoning capabilities in these LLMs differentiate AI agents from the brittle rules-based automation of the past. Since they can make judgment calls, AI agents can create action plans and manage workflows, either independently or with human supervision. At the core of their functionality is the capability to learn from previous interactions, use data from internal systems, and collaborate with both people and other agents. This ability to continuously adapt makes AI agents particularly valuable for complex business environments, where flexibility and scalability are key. 11:01 Nikita: And how do they work specifically in Fusion Apps? Sarah: Oracle Fusion AI agents are autonomous assistants designed to help organizations streamline operations, improve decision making, and reduce manual workloads. They can assist with simple or complex tasks and work across departments. 11:19 Lois: Sarah, what are the different types of AI agents? Sarah: Functional agents act as digital assistants for different personas within the enterprise and perform domain-specific tasks. Supervisory agents manage other agents, overseeing complex workflows and making decisions on whether human intervention is needed. Utility agents perform routine low-risk tasks such as retrieving data, sending notifications, or running reports. They're often optimized to help with specific roles, so an AI agent or collection of agents might act as a finance clerk, hiring manager, or a customer service representative. 11:54 Nikita: Can you give us some real-world use cases? Sarah: In human resources, agents will assist employees with benefit inquiries and policy clarifications. In finance, agents will automate invoice approvals and help optimize financial workflows. In supply chain management, a field service agent can guide technicians through repairs by providing real-time diagnostic data, troubleshooting steps, and automating orders for parts. In customer experience, the contracts researcher agent enables sales teams to automate routine contract workflows and approvals so they can focus on selling rather than administrative tasks. Oracle Fusion AI agents represent a leap beyond traditional AI. They don't just automate, they collaborate with human workers, making AI agents more than just tools. By integrating advanced AI within business systems, Oracle continues to lead the way in improving productivity and operational efficiency. As AI technology evolves, expect to see even more sophisticated AI agents capable of managing entire business processes autonomously, giving your team the freedom to focus on strategic, high-impact activities. 13:04 Nikita: Thank you so much for taking us through all that, Sarah. We're really excited to have you back next week to continue this discussion.

I tackle a topic that sparks a lot of debate: why do people who seem obviously guilty still enter a "not guilty" plea in court? After a recent conversation with a sharp, strong-willed friend who was baffled by this, I decided it's time to break down what really happens at an arraignment. I'll share why starting with a not guilty plea isn't about denying the facts, but about making sure everyone gets the full benefit of due process and constitutional rights. I'll explain how this plea allows me, as a defense attorney, to fully review the evidence, negotiate charges if necessary, and ensure that any decision is made knowingly and intelligently. If you've ever found yourself frustrated or confused by this part of the courtroom process—especially when you see it play out in high-profile cases—I'm here to unpack the real reasons behind it. Here are 3 key takeaways for anyone interested in justice and due process:A Not Guilty Plea Is About Process, Not Denial: Entering a not guilty plea at arraignment isn't a claim of innocence. It's an essential first step to protect a defendant's rights and ensure full discovery and review of evidence.“Guilty” Pleas Without Understanding Are Dangerous: Our system requires that a plea be made “knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily.” Without complete discovery and legal counsel, it's impossible for anyone to meet that standard.Every Defendant Deserves Due Process: Sometimes the charges are overblown, the evidence is flawed, or constitutional rights may have been violated. Pleading not guilty gives defense (and prosecution) time to negotiate, review, and ensure fair outcomes, not just political theater.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

They question the value of timed essay exams and compare law school to gaining entry into an ABA-approved guild, suggesting that gaming the system might seem rational, ethics aside.LSAT Demon Scholarship Estimator27:25 – WashU Law Pre-Application TrapA listener is contacted for an interview by WashU Law before even applying. Ben and Nathan caution that this is a sales tactic: the school is trying to extract information and create perceived interest to reduce scholarship offers. They revisit their advice about the Candidate Referral Service, suggesting it might be time to reconsider what students share with schools early in the process.36:12 – Parallel Reasoning ClarityThe guys break down Parallel Reasoning questions on the LSAT. They emphasize that matching language or subject matter is secondary—what matters is aligning the logical structure of arguments. To succeed, students must first understand the core argument before worrying about technical parallels. A big-picture approach is key.53:20 – Tips from a Departing DemonA departing Demon, Vox, shares his advice for other students: keep your study streak alive. Even a single question can turn into an hour of productive study. Consistency compounds.54:56 – Zyns on the LSATRedditors wonder if nicotine pouches like Zyn are allowed during the LSAT. Ben and Nathan suggest that they aren't explicitly banned, but advise playing it safe and contacting LSAC directly. Better to assume they're off-limits.1:03:22 – Why Are Others Wrong?Listener Andrew is thinking about writing an LSAT addendum. Ben and Nathan advise him to focus on improving his score with his two remaining attempts. They argue that law school deans who encourage addenda are trying to get applicants to expose weaknesses. Schools are more interested in reporting the highest LSAT scores, driving denial numbers up, and collecting full tuition. Admissions advice is often self-serving.1:18:21 – Personal Statement Gong ShowDanielle sends in their submission for the Personal Statement Gong Show, the show where Ben and Nathan read personal statements and hit the gong when something goes wrong. The standing record to beat is ten lines, held by Greta.1:32:38 - What's the Deal With… Jacksonville University?

While there are reasons why this may be a good fit, you shouldn't pay to be the school's guinea pigs.

What happens when the pursuit of intellectual certainty leads not to clarity, but to doubt, and doubt, in time, leads back to faith? Jeffrey Geibel, a seasoned mathematics educator and former skeptic, shares a journey that challenges assumptions about belief, knowledge, and truth. Raised in a home where chaos, cultural Christianity, and moral contradictions shaped his early view of faith, Jeff set out to find truth through reason and lived experience. Though once deeply involved in church and sincere in his belief, growing disillusionment with theological inconsistencies and a reliance on subjective experiences ultimately led him to atheism, then to radical agnosticism, questioning whether anything could truly be known at all. The turning point came unexpectedly, in a graduate-level geometry class. Guest Bio: Jeffrey Geibel is a veteran high school mathematics teacher with two decades of experience in public education. He holds a master's degree in mathematics and brings a deep appreciation for critical thinking, logic, and analytical inquiry to both his profession and personal life. Outside the classroom, Jeff is a dedicated husband and father of nine, with a passion for exploring the intersections of faith, reason, and human experience. His journey through skepticism, agnosticism, and ultimately back to belief reflects a thoughtful engagement with both intellectual honesty and existential meaning.

Peter's main specialty is developing freeform pointing out instructions, using silence and unfindability inquiry to directly reveal the nature of pure awareness itself. Peter does this individually and in groups where people are supported in their own discovery of the state of nonduality or nonreferentiality. By freeform he using whatever arises in a group in the moment it occurs as the material/constructs, to be seen through, or self-dissolve, revealing the pure liberated nature of unconditioned mind itself—the ultimate medicine.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the great figures in world literature. The French playwright Molière (1622-1673) began as an actor, aiming to be a tragedian, but he was stronger in comedy, touring with a troupe for 13 years until Louis XIV summoned him to audition at the Louvre and gave him his break. It was in Paris and at Versailles that Molière wrote and performed his best known plays, among them Tartuffe, Le Misanthrope and Le Malade Imaginaire, and in time he was so celebrated that French became known as The Language of Molière.With Noel Peacock Emeritus Marshall Professor in French Language and Literature at the University of GlasgowJan Clarke Professor of French at Durham UniversityAnd Joe Harris Professor of Early Modern French and Comparative Literature at Royal Holloway, University of LondonProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:David Bradby and Andrew Calder (eds.), The Cambridge Companion to Molière (Cambridge University Press, 2006)Jan Clarke (ed.), Molière in Context (Cambridge University Press, 2022)Georges Forestier, Molière (Gallimard, 2018)Michael Hawcroft, Molière: Reasoning with Fools (Oxford University Press, 2007)John D.
