I welcome Dutch historian Rutger Bregman to the podcast after first messaging him on Instagram and we talk about what I took from his book Humankind and my own wish to bring people together to remember friendship and kindness. Rutger reflects on Dutch directness and equality shaped by living with water, from the 1953 flood to the Delta Works, and shares why he writes for a general audience about big questions of human nature. We discuss his challenge to the “veneer theory” and his belief in “survival of the friendlies,” alongside a real shipwreck story near Tonga where six boys survived 15 months through cooperation. Our conversation turns to bullying, family and attachment, the Second World War and Rutger's research for Moral Ambition on how resistance spreads simply by asking others to help.01:10 Dutch Culture and Directness04:01 Water Engineering and Delta Works05:41 Early Civilizations and Conflict06:58 Why Bregman Writes Big History08:12 Debunking Human Nature Myths10:07 Cooperation at Highclere Today12:49 Tempest and Amoral People13:55 Real Lord of the Flies Story19:00 Bullying Attachment and Family21:41 Victorian Fathers Revisited22:40 Reform Politics And Women23:28 Why Study War24:04 Resistance Myth Debunked25:24 Heroes Are Asked27:29 Unconventional Organizers30:25 Kindness After Loss32:19 Kindness Is Contagious35:03 Lessons From Animals36:18 Veneer Theory And Dickens37:59 British IndirectnessYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month. 

Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide and see behavioral design applied to real products and services: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Eleanor Ross, Creative Director at Expert Theory and one of the youngest recipients of the National Training and Simulation Association's Top Under 40 award, breaks down how she designs wargames and simulations that put learners inside high stakes decisions instead of watching from the outside. She walks through the moment a Team USA group tried to buy Greenland mid game, the Logic, Function, Form framework she uses to build every simulation, and a year long Taiwan resilience exercise she ran for the Irregular Warfare Center. Listeners come away with two best practices that make any simulation stick, a debrief discipline and deliberate role reversal, plus a clear view of how AI tools now let a team produce news articles and role player materials in under ten minutes. Ross also makes the case that heavy topics like terrorism, invasion, and irregular warfare land harder when they are engaging, and that good design starts by deciding what people should feel when they walk out. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways In an early Arctic simulation run as an alpha test for the Canadian Department of National Defense, a Team USA group went off script and tried to buy Greenland, a move no one had prepared for, which forced Ross to build the response live. Ross and her team at Expert Theory adjudicated that unplanned move and used their AI backend to produce news articles, tweets, and formatted materials for a role player in under ten minutes, a turnaround the wargaming community historically treated as impossible. Her Logic, Function, Form framework stacks design like a pyramid: Logic defines what players should know and feel on the way out, Function defines the actors and goals that get them there, and Form covers constraints like the 30 or 90 minute time box. A quality debrief is the most important best practice in simulation design, because the takeaways people carry out are set up by the structured discussion, not by the game itself. Putting participants in roles they would never hold, such as US military officers playing the Somali government or the US embassy in a Fort Bragg deployment game, forces the perspective shift that makes the lesson land. Ross builds her design philosophy on Rutger Bregman's Humankind and its claim that people are inherently good, using games to surface the nuances behind how opposing sides actually see themselves.

She designs and facilitates simulations that restore agency to learners by placing them inside complex, high stakes decisions, and her co-authored research with the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology and Education Center has shown that simulations measurably deepen learning while strengthening confidence, teamwork, and decision making. She chairs programming for the Women's Wargaming Network and is one of the youngest ever recipients of the National Training and Simulation Association's Top Under 40 award. Her work focuses on the Arctic and high north, irregular and gray zone warfare, and leadership.

We're trained to climb ladders and chase titles, but what if the real metric of career success was the positive impact you have on the world? In this episode from the Hello Monday archives, host Jessi Hempel sits down with Rutger Bregman to explore moral ambition—a framework for building a career based on what positive impact you can have on the world.  Rutger's groundbreaking book, Moral Ambition: How to Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference, is a wake-up call for anyone who's felt something was missing from their work. Whether you're early in your career, questioning your path, or rebuilding after a layoff, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for pivoting toward meaningful work. In this episode, Jessi and Rutger explore: What moral ambition is, and why it's the antidote to burnout Why "follow your passion" is the wrong advice for building a sustainable career How to shift from success-driven to service-driven work Which industries funnel talented people into unfulfilling roles, and how to break free Real-world examples of people solving humanity's biggest problems How to build coalitions and find collaborators aligned with your values The hidden cost of prestige, and how to redefine what winning looks like This episode is a call to action for anyone who wants to do good—and do it well.

(01:24) Het is weer examentijd. Deze week zitten meer dan honderdduizend scholieren over hun centraal schriftelijke examen gebogen. Voor vwo-leerlingen met het vak geschiedenis hoort daar een flink blok over China bij. Examentrainer Ellie van Eijk bekeek de stof waarmee ze zich voorbereiden en sloeg alarm: er staan gewoon fouten in. Verkeerde data, fout gespelde plaatsnamen en soms zelfs informatie die ronduit niet klopt. Hoe kan dat? En wat zegt het over de manier waarop wij de Chinese geschiedenis onderwijzen?     Sinoloog, mantsjoeroloog en voormalig docent vakdidactiek in Leiden Fresco Sam-Sin vertelt meer, samen met koreanist en historicus Van Eijk, die de kwestie op LinkedIn aankaartte.    (19:06) Zeg Texel en je denkt aan schapen. Wie met de boot aankomt, ziet de ansichtkaart vrijwel meteen tot leven komen: witte ooien op groene dijken, lammetjes in de lentezon. Maar de Texelse schapenhouderij staat economisch op omvallen. Er zijn voor het eerst in de geschiedenis minder schapen dan mensen, en de schapenstand blijft maar dalen. Wat blijft er over van het imago van het eiland als de markt de eeuwenoude band tussen Texel en schaap lijkt te gaan breken?   We praten erover met schrijver en Texelaar Lodewijk Dros. (31:16) Van Slavoj Žižek tot Rutger Bregman tot Bart de Wever: de Italiaanse communist Antonio Gramsci wordt gretig aangehaald door politieke denkers. Terwijl hij zijn belangrijkste teksten zo'n 100 jaar geleden in gevangenschap schreef. Is dat omdat zijn tijd, van opkomend fascisme, politiek geweld en autoritaire leiders zo lijkt op de onze? En waarom dweept ook extreemrechts met hem? We vragen het Arthur Weststeijn, filosoof, historicus en intussen ‘s lands grootste Gramsci-kenner. Hij maakte een nieuwe vertaling en schreef een inleiding bij het nieuw verschenen Notities uit de gevangenis van Gramsci.    (43:44) Elke week bespreken we historische tips met afwisselend Nadia Bouras, Wim Berkelaar, Bart Funnekotter, Sanne Frequin, en Fresco Sam-Sin. Deze week is de beurt aan Nadia Bouras. Zij bespreekt twee boeken en een tentoonstelling:  De bezetting - Sanne Thierens  Het boek van de verdwijning - Ibtisam Azem (vert. Djûke Poppinga)  Kho Liang Ie – Mid-Century Modernist (https://www.stedelijk.nl/nl/tentoonstellingen/kho-liang-ie) - Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam  (55:47) Het kan op het eerste gezicht misschien een beetje een lugubere oproep lijken: afgelopen week riep genealogieplatform Geneanet mensen op om met Hemelvaart naar een begraafplaats te gaan en daar graven op de foto te zetten. Toch zit er een serieuze boodschap achter. Elk jaar verdwijnen er duizenden grafstenen door verval, ruiming en achterstallig onderhoud, en daarmee gaat ook vaak een tastbaar stuk familiegeschiedenis verloren.   Met het initiatief Red onze grafstenen probeert Geneanet dat verlies te beperken. Vrijwilligers leggen grafzerken en gedenktekens vast en uploaden die in een vrij toegankelijke databank. Inmiddels zijn er zo meer dan acht miljoen graven gedocumenteerd door ruim 32.000 mensen wereldwijd. Te gast is Angelo Verbrugge, vrijwilliger bij Geneanet.   (01:01:19) In de voormalig Nederlandse kolonie in Indië liepen veel machtsdynamieken door elkaar heen; de aanwezigheid van de VOC, verschillende geloofsovertuigingen en bijvoorbeeld de aanwezigheid van lokale heersers. Minder bekend is de cruciale rol die seks had in de kolonie.     Antropoloog Lizzy van Leeuwen nam seks als uitgangspunt om de wisselwerking tussen de overheersten en overheerser te beschrijven, wat resulteerde in haar nieuwe boek Indehoy! Geschiedenis van seks in Indië, 1602-1942.    (01:15:24) OVT Doc: Uit de pas, Het vrijgevochten leven van danseres Darja Collin (Deel 1)  Ze was vrijgevochten, gedreven, getalenteerd en van grote betekenis voor de dans: Darja Collin, de eerste Nederlandse danseres die internationaal doorbrak.    Programmamaker Katinka Baehr maakte samen met Arend Hulshof, die het boek Alleen in dans kon zij wonen over haar schreef, een tweedelige documentaire. Over haar avontuurlijke leven, haar dans en haar (korte en ongelukkige) huwelijk met schrijver, dichter en scheepsarts Slauerhoff. Vandaag deel één.    Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-17-mei-2026  (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-17-mei-2026)

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Rutger Bregman, originally episode 190 from 2018-02-21.Original writeup below:An absolutely massive episode covering - as said - some big topics and issues, which are immensely interesting and made a lot easier to understand with Rutger's able guidance and explanation. His book ‘Utopia For Realists And How We Can Get There' is available now (published by Bloomsbury), and this should be a good idea of what you can expect - Rutger tackles the issues of universal basic income, strikes, borders, how great art can be achieved by not having basic financial worries, how we need a return to utopian thinking, new ideas beginning at the fringes of society, how the US isn't the beating heart of the entire world (as the news may have you believe), the ‘circle of bullshit', and how we are working with “21st Century hardware on 19th Century software” - all of these are expounded on a great deal so this is a good one to really sit and take some time with. There is a kind of ‘Freakanomics' approach to some of the points, which is fascinating - like the eventual financial cost of one element of one's life, and the knock-on effects of doing one thing in particular and how it leads to what's down the road. Just so much to enjoy, and all very positive too - certainly not a world of doom and gloom in this one, no way.

The invisible forces shaping what you eat, why they stay hidden, and what it actually takes to change them.Sue Pritchard is CEO of the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission (FFCC) and a farmer just down the road from us in Monmouthshire. In this episode she lays out exactly how the modern food system works, who benefits, who pays the price, and why the polite assumption that "people just want cheap food" is one of the most damaging myths in British public life.We go into the ABCD commodity giants most people have never heard of, the three forces reshaping our plates (commodified, consolidated, financialised), the citizens' assemblies that proved the political class has been misreading the public for decades, and why Sue thinks it might finally be time to bring back the word shame.This was one of those conversations where a missing piece of the puzzle dropped into place. Not cheery in places, but clarifying and energising.In this episode:What we actually mean by "the food system" and why the definition mattersThe ABCD companies: the four private firms (plus one Chinese state company) that control over 80% of global commodity tradeWhy Cargill's profits jumped 27% while the rest of us absorbed food price spikesCommodified, consolidated, financialised: the three words that explain how we got hereWho's really losing: farmers on below real-living-wage incomes, citizens paying twice (at the till and through their taxes), and our public healthThe assumptions keeping the system stuck: "people only want cheap food", "nobody wants a nanny state", "this is a middle-class concern"What happened when FFCC actually asked people what they want from food (spoiler: the response rate was five times the norm)The role of anger, and why Rowan Williams called it the "appropriate emotional response"Rutger Bregman, shame, and whether it is time to make certain jobs socially unacceptable againFinding your lane: why we do not all have to do everything everywhere all at onceThe "What Works Here?" inquiries and the stories of hope already on the groundApproximate timestamps:00:00 - Welcome & Introduction05:00 - Farm Start with Rachel Hammond (starts next month, places still available)06:00 - Community Day, 16 May, plus the screening of the People's Emergency Briefing08:20 - Introducing Sue Pritchard09:30 - What the FFCC is and why it was set up after Brexit12:30 - What we actually mean by "the food system"18:30 - The winners: ABCD companies, Cargill, the Amazon, and chicken sheds in the Wye Valley24:00 - The losers: farmers, citizens, public health26:20 - The assumptions that keep the system stuck28:45 - Sue "spits the dummy" and launches the citizens' assemblies36:30 - Anger, Rowan Williams, and what to do with it42:45 - Bregman, shame, and raising the social cost of harm44:30 - Working inside the system: the conversations that actually move people49:20 - Where hope already lives: the "What Works Here?" inquiries54:30 - Tom and Chloe unpack it: invisible winners, shame, food security, and the search for brave leadershipSue's best lines"Perhaps anger is the appropriate emotional response to the degree of injustice that we are finally seeing.""How do we tell the stories of the future that is already coming to life all around us?

Silicon Bites Ep310 | 2026-04-01 | April the 1st I thought. This is a very well-produced joke – so close to our worst fears of the dark dystopian hole down which the U.S. has fallen, and into which it's dragging the world. But no, this does not appear to be an April Fool's prank. It appears to be a real political vanity project, promoted by Donald Trump and Eric Trump, attached to a real donation site, tied to a real Miami site already set aside for the future library. But it is also drenched in unreality, because the first public “reveal” was an AI-generated fantasy reel: an uncanny value of dictator chic, drenched in gold, gold everywhere, and on everything. Trump's name stamped on the skyline, a presidential jet in the lobby, White House replicas inside, and a giant gold statue of Trump raised above the mass of the faithful like some imperial mascot of post-modern, ironic American kitsch. Reuters confirmed parts of the video were generated with Google AI tools, while AP, the Washington Post, Sky, and NPR all independently described the same core imagery and the same link to the official fundraising site.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Reuters, March 31, 2026 — Trump library renderings, AI-generated video, Trump's comments on hotel plans.Associated Press, March 30–31, 2026 — airport renaming, library reveal, Miami site details.NPR/KOSU, updated April 1, 2026 — what the project is, Trump's “I don't believe in building libraries or museums” quote, NARA context, site transfer, funding questions.

Den bästsäljande författaren och historikern Rutger Bregman har gjort sig känd för att kunna provocera både den ena och den andre med det som han själv menar är sanningar om världen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Han retade till exempel upp deltagare i Världsekonimskt forum i Davos 2019, när han hävdade att de rika hellre pratar om filantropi än skatter. Och han var i censurbråk med BBC för ett halvår sedan då han inte fick säga att president Trump är "den mest korrupta presidenten i USAs historia" i sändning. Rutger Bregmans böcker handlar om hur vi människor på olika sätt kan vara medskapare till en bättre, rättvisare värld och P1 Kultur träffat honom för ett samtal om den senaste boken "Moralisk ambition."Reporter: Roger Wilson

In this episode of Inspire Change with Gunter, we take a deeper look inside the cultural phenomenon known as the Manosphere, through the lens of Louis Theroux's documentary.Gunter explores the appeal, messaging, and psychological underpinnings of this growing movement—examining why these ideas resonate with so many men, and what they reveal about modern struggles with identity, purpose, and belonging.At the heart of the conversation is a framework for understanding masculinity beyond surface-level labels. By unpacking the dynamics of power, vulnerability, and social conditioning, this episode offers a more nuanced perspective on the forces shaping male identity today.Drawing on concepts such as Rutger Bregman's idea of moral ambition, Gunter also points toward pathways that move beyond reactive or defensive models of masculinity—toward something more intentional, grounded, and socially constructive.This is not just a critique, but an invitation to rethink what masculinity can become.This week we uncover...• The five patriarchal pillars: territory, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness.• Why the Manosphere's messaging resonates with so many men.• The psychological drivers behind toxic and defensive masculinity.• How vulnerability is reframed—and often rejected—within these spaces.• Rutger Bregman's concept of moral ambition and its relevance today.• Pathways toward meaningful masculinity and positive social contributionKey Insights“The documentary shows how widespread these ideas are.”“Women are the problem, softness is weakness.”“The Manosphere offers a defense against vulnerability.”GratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and supporting positive social change, which makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.  This week we would like to share our gratitude with our listeners from Louisville for bringing Kentucky to #9 on our top 10 USA listeners list.CONGRATULATIONS!!!We thank you so much for your continued support as we appreciate your efforts toward positive social change! I, DeVonna Prinzi the Co-Exec Producer and our Show-runner Miranda Spigener-Sapon sincerely thank you and ask that you please take the time to like, follow, subscribe, and share as your efforts make a difference to everyone here at Inspire Change with Gunter.We would love to hear your stories of social change and ask that you to reach out to the show directly.

Rutger Bregman on why he thinks consumers should cancel their ChatGPT accounts. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

In een tijd waarin pessimisme de boventoon voert in het publieke debat, duiken Maarten van Rossem en Tom Jessen in het ongemakkelijke feit dat het met Nederland feitelijk uitstekend gaat. Ze analyseren waarom het "positieve beeld" uit de mode is geraakt en hoe de politieke elite baat lijkt te hebben bij een narratief van crisis en boosheid.Een belangrijk deel van het gesprek is gewijd aan de kritiek op het nieuwe boek Morele Revolutie van Rutger Bregman. Maarten legt uit waarom dit pleidooi voor een morele revolutie volgens hem aan de verkeerde kant begint en waarom we meer hebben aan een nuchtere sociaaldemocratie dan aan de semi-religieuze oproepen van Bregman.Verder in deze aflevering: de absurditeit van vliegveld-security, de loonkloof in de rechtspraak en de vraag of Singapore een droomdictatuur is.Volg voor meer informatie ook onze Substack.Steun de podcast: Volg ons hier op Spotify.

Rutger Bregman is a Dutch historian and best-selling author of Utopia for Realists and Humankind: A Hopeful History. In 2019, he went viral for his takedown of billionaires at the World Economic Forum and for a heated exchange with Tucker Carlson. Today, he joins the show to discuss his latest book, Moral Ambition, which he defines as the desire to use your available talents and resources to make the world a better place rather than focus solely on individual wealth. He argues the real question is whether the work you've chosen is ambitious enough in moral terms—whether your day-to-day life tackles the big problems facing humankind. He explains why “follow your passion” is often bad advice; why moral breakthroughs tend to come from small, disciplined groups rather than mass appeal; and why moral progress is neither automatic nor inevitable.

What if we stopped telling women how to stay safe, and started asking why violence against them keeps happening in the first place? On this episode, I'm joined for a second time, by Amy Watson, the founder of social enterprise HASSL. She's trying to tackle violence against women and girls at its root. Not with another awareness campaign or  safety app. But by building a global movement designed to shift responsibility away from women, and onto society. OverviewWhen Amy first joined the podcast a year ago, we discussed the scale and reality of violence against women. A year on, she returns to talk about what it actually takes to tackle it. In just twelve months, her social enterprise HASSL has grown into a global prevention movement: more than half a million followers, thousands of volunteers across over 120 countries, and campaigns reaching millions of people organically.But this isn't just a story about social media growth. It's about culture change. In an extended and wide-ranging disucssion, we explore why laws alone don't solve systemic problems, why “stay safe” advice can unintentionally reinforce the wrong narrative, and what happens when you apply entrepreneurial thinking to one of society's most entrenched issues.This is a conversation about scale, backlash, risk and moral ambition, and about what it means to build something that refuses to compromise.Guest Bio - Amy WatsonAmy is the founder of HASSL, a global social enterprise tackling harassment at the root.HASSL focuses on prevention — shifting responsibility for violence away from women as individuals and onto the cultural and systemic factors that enable harm. Combining research, education and partnerships, it aims to create scalable, long-term change rather than short-term fixes. In just over a year, HASSL has grown into a global movement with hundreds of thousands of followers and volunteers across more than 120 countries. Amy's work sits at the intersection of social justice and entrepreneurship, applying business thinking to one of society's most entrenched problems. AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – Intro: From Problem to ActionChristian frames this follow-up as a shift from discussing violence against women to exploring what it takes to tackle it in practice. 02:00 – What HASSL Stands For Amy explains HASSL's prevention-first approach: shifting responsibility away from women and onto culture, systems and male behaviour. 05:00 – Scaling a Social Enterprise Rapid global growth, research-driven strategy, sustainable funding streams and a structured five-stage plan. 08:30 – Education & Engaging MenLaunch of free education resources, bystander tools and conversation frameworks designed to invite men into the solution. 16:00 – Entrepreneurship, Risk & Moral AmbitionApplying startup thinking to social change; sacrificing financial ambition for impact; long-term vision over quick wins. 35:00 – Values, Independence & Leadership Why Amy avoids outside investment, refuses to compromise on inclusivity, and builds operational resilience into the organisation. 58:30 – Backlash & Online Abuse Trolling, hate messages and the deliberate disruption of a webinar — and what that reveals about cultural normalisation. 01:05:00 – Using Criticism as LeverageTurning recurring myths (“false accusations”, “what about men?”) into educational opportunities and narrative shifts. 01:21:00 – Barriers to Reporting Why speaking out rarely benefits women; the structural and social costs involved.01:37:00 – Building a Movement How listeners can engage — and why lasting change requires persistence, scale and collective responsibility.Links Amy's previous appearance on the show - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/amy-watson-on-violence-against-women/HASSL - hassl.ukMoral Ambition by Rutger Bregman - https://www.moralambition.org/book

In a world where “might is right” is having an ugly little renaissance, Rutger Bregman returns as the perfect antidote: a stubborn, data-backed case that humans are cooperative, that culture is malleable, and that your career doesn't have to be a slow-motion betrayal of your ideals. We talk about his new book Moral Ambition, and the “Bermuda Triangle of talent” of consulting, finance, and corporate law. Along with the quietly shocking stat that one in four people doubts their job is socially meaningful. We revisit the 1970s Irish banking strike, when the banks shut for months… and the economy kept moving on trust, IOUs, and community glue. If trust is money, and stories shape human behaviour, what happens when we start telling a better story, and actually act on it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kitap kulübümüzün 60'ıncı buluşmasında Rutger Bregman'ın "Çoğu İnsan İyidir" adlı kitabını konuştuk.Bu arada 60 buluşma tam 5 yıl yapıyor. Dile kolay, kitap kulübümüz altıncı yaşına bastı, daha nicelerine diyorum, birlikte olduğumuz tüm üyelerimize teşekkür ediyorum.Hollandalı tarihçi ve gazeteci Rutger Bregman'ın bu kitabı (orijinal adı Humankind: A Hopeful History), insan doğasına dair yaygın kabulleri kökten sorgulayan cesur bir çalışma. Yazar, Stanford Hapishane Deneyi, Sineklerin Tanrısı ve Paskalya Adası gibi meşhur örneklerin aslında bize yanlış anlatıldığını belgeleyerek, insanın özünde kötü olduğu varsayımının manipüle edilmiş bir kurgu olduğunu savunuyor. Kitap, kriz anlarında insanların dayanışma içinde hareket ettiğini gösteren gerçek hikayeler ve bilimsel araştırmalarla iddiasını destekliyor. Kitabın kapak yazılarında Harari'nin bile “İnsanlığı yepyeni bir perspektiften görmemi sağladı” sözü yer alıyor.Bregman'a göre bu "kötülük" anlatısı, insanların kendi başlarına düzen kuramayacağı inancını pekiştirerek merkezi otoriteyi, hiyerarşiyi ve katı kontrol mekanizmalarını meşrulaştırmak için bilinçli bir kurgu olarak kullanılır. Özünde bu manipülasyon, toplumsal bir güvensizlik ortamı yaratarak bizleri daha kolay yönetilebilir ve otoriteye muhtaç özneler haline getirmeyi amaçlar.Kitap bizde derin bir heyecan yarattı. Bir yandan, yıllardır referans gösterdiğimiz bilimsel çalışmaların aslında manipüle edilmiş olabileceğini görmek sarsıcıydı. Bazılarımız kitabı fazla iyimser buldu; Türkiye'deki düşük güven ortamında ve adalet sisteminin yetersiz kaldığı bir coğrafyada yazarın bu anlayışla mücadele yaklaşımının ne kadar gerçekçi olduğunu sorguladık. Öte yandan maruz kaldığımız medya ve politik ortamın bizleri olumsuzluğa ittiğini fark ettik, belki de bu nedenle böyle bir bakış açısına ihtiyacımız olduğunu düşündük.Grup olarak sanırım şu noktada hemfikiriz: İnsanın iyi mi kötü mü olduğunu test edecek bir ölçüm aracımız yok, dolayısıyla bu bir tercih meselesi. Bağlamın son derece önemli olduğunu, koşullar iyileştirildiğinde kötülüğün minimize edilebileceğini, ama bunun için ciddi bir hak ve adalet sistemine ihtiyaç duyulduğunu konuştuk. Sonuçta, hayatı anlamlı kılmak için bir şeyler seçmeliyiz; bazılarımız yaşama tutunmak için "çoğu insan iyidir" önermesini seçmeyi tercih ediyoruz.Ben kendi adıma, insanlara verdiğim krediyi 100'den başlatıp geriye geldiğimi söyleyebilirim. Bunun beni sıkıntıya düşürdüğü durumlar da çok oldu, ama bu benim hayat görüşüme daha yakın, bu kitapta da bu seçimi görmekten memnun oldum.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım sırasıyla: (03:20) Feyza Demir, (07:55) Yasemin Karakaya, (12:07) Mürsel Çavuş, (16:06) Bengü İlhan, (17:42) Bahadır Balibaşa, (20:10) Öngün Şumnulu, (23:49) Aycan Acar Şahin, (27:03) Ekin Akkol, (30:30) Mete Yurtsever, (31:38) Ebru Başaran, (35:15) Suat Soy, (37:03) Feyza Demir, (41:47) Cem Çağatay Karaali, (44:07) Bahadır Balibaşa, (48:39) Yasemin Karakaya, (50:41) Öngün ŞumnuluSupport the show

"You're awakening a dragon. Public anger is stirring." A warning from Rutger Bregman to Silicon Valley. The historian is sounding the alarm over the existential risks posed by unrestrained technology and artificial intelligence in his final BBC Reith Lecture. He calls on those in power to assume responsibility, and help shape a future worthy of hope. Bregman envisions 'moral revolutions' as the path forward and urges us all to come together to take on this task. "Small groups of committed citizens have bent the arc of history towards justice. And whatever the outcome, there is beauty in trying, beauty in every act of courage, in every spark of truth."

Global sensation Rutger Bregman joins George Monbiot to show how small groups of committed individuals changed the course of history – and how you can, too. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in day out?Every day we're bombarded with methods, mantras, life hacks and coaching sessions that promise us mindfulness, prosperity and wellness. We read countless self-help books to unlock the seven habits, twelve rules or one big secret to living a long and happy life, while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman returns to How To Academy to show us that with the will to make the world a wildly better place – it is possible to be both idealistic and successful, and to change the world along the way. Looking to the great change-makers of history, he will uncover the qualities that made them so persuasive, influential and effective, and show how we, too, can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to gross inequality to the next pandemic. We can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself. This is not a self-help talk. It won't make your life easier – but it should make it more meaningful.

From calling out billionaires at Davos to challenging institutions that would rather stay comfortable, Rutger Bregman has built a career around one simple question: what are we actually doing with our lives?In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the historian and author of Moral Ambition to talk about purpose, power and the quiet pressure to go along with things we know are wrong. Bregman reflects on his upbringing, his loss of religious faith, and how that search for meaning became a drive to make ideas matter in the real world.They discuss why small groups of people have always been the engine of change, how ego and idealism often overlap, and why so many smart, capable people feel stuck doing work that doesn't align with their values. From abolitionists and resistance movements to modern politics, media cowardice and the rise of authoritarianism, Bregman argues that change usually starts when someone simply asks others to step up.Thoughtful, accessible and quietly challenging, this conversation is about agency, responsibility and the uncomfortable idea that waiting for someone else to act is itself a choice.Find out more about Moral Ambition: How to Find Your Purpose by Rutger Bregman hereEXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/fulldisclosure Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

We live in an "age of immorality," argues historian and author Rutger Bregman, and the decay is everywhere."The moral rot runs deep across elite institutions of every stripe," Bregman says in his first BBC Reith Lecture. His series of lectures describes why he is calling for a moral revolution to counter the culture of cynicism and un-seriousness among global elites. Bregman says history has proven how small determined groups have catalysed profound moral change, and that legacy should be an inspirational guide for all of us today. IDEAS is featuring lectures from the BBC Reith Lectures, this is the first episode.

Episode 341 "The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks." A compelling quote that sums up the thesis of Rutger Bregman's new book. In Moral Ambition, the Dutch historian and the best-selling author argues that smart people need to stop wasting their lives in “BS” jobs - and turn their skills to causes that benefit humanity. By reflecting on the history of the abolitionist and women's rights movements, he explains why it's never too late to take action on major issues - like climate change or the exploitation of animals. He also explores how AI experts are preparing for a massive shift in the way we live, that we need to pay attention to. Same-sex sexual behaviour in primates is incredibly common - despite seemingly having no evolutionary advantage. But scientists have now noticed something counterintuitive. This behaviour happens more often in high-stress environments, where food is scarce, suggesting it may aid with social cohesion. It may even improve the success of straight sex - increasing the number of offspring in a group. If you want to live a longer, healthier life - it may be way easier than you think. Most modern longevity advice is about optimising every aspect of your life - and can feel overwhelming for many people. But a new study shows you can add a full year to your life, just by making very minor tweaks to things like sleep and exercise. Find out how. For three years in a row, average global temperatures have exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial temperatures. As we fail to get a handle on rising global heating, scientists are exploring a new - slightly odd - way of managing carbon levels. The idea is to protect Earth's climate from future wildfires, but cutting down vast swathes of forest and sinking the trees in the Arctic ocean. But will it work - or make things worse?

Just a few months ago, historian and author Rutger Bregman found himself at the centre of a very British controversy. He had been asked to deliver a BBC Reith lecture. His theme was the decadence of the political elite and in his lecture, he made a throw away line about President Trump. But when the lecture was broadcast, that critical line had been taken out. What followed was a row about censorship, media power and truth.This Friday, Rutger Bregman joins Lewis in the studio to talk about that controversy, why broadcasters must stand up to Trump, and our moral obligations in a divisive political society.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

X has been firmly in the firing line after its Grok AI tool was used to create sexualised images of women and children. Elon Musk's company could face a fine of up to 10% of its global earnings by internet regulator Ofcom, or a ban in the UK. He denies that the AI has done anything illegal and says users are responsible for the images they create. How can we regulate AI? Nish and Coco speak to Rutger Bregman, historian and author who called out billionaires at Davos. He argues Big Tech should be treated like Big Tobacco, and gives his take on Iran, as thousands of protestors take to the streets, and what a radical policy platform looks like for the UK Left today.

John continues his conversation with Howard Pearl. They discuss how hard times are not our enemies, but opportunities to grow stronger and more compassionate and why mistakes are some of our best teachers. In Part 1, they talked about the importance of the right workplace culture, and how trust, respect, and integrity are the backbone of any successful organization.

I have only friends I have yet to meet." "You can't have elation without a little depression. You can't have success without failure." "This thing (pain, problems) that I thought was my enemy turned out to make me work much harder. And the next time I saw a problem like that, I just walked over it because I understood how to deal with it." "The tough things aren't my enemies. Those are the things where I have to do extra lifting." "The school system does not set kids up for success at all. It sets them up to be mindless drones that are just worker bees. This whole grading system, where somehow getting an F is bad and an A is great, I'm like, well, all that tells them is how to take a test. I'd much rather have a kid who struggles with grades but gets it, so that s/he can actually do something down the road with it." "What is life? Life is the experience of experience. It's the doers doing the doing. You can sit on the sideline and watch and say, 'Oh, that's interesting.'" "One of the great experiences of being human is that emotions manifest in the physical. It's why we have this corporeal body." "I have never failed at making a light bulb.

Die Welt ist in Unordnung.Sie ordnet sich neu. Das geht vor allem aus den USA aus. Die Trump-Regierung agiert erratisch und ist für die EU kein verlässlicher Partner mehr. Innerhalb des Landes wird die liberale Demokratie, der Rechtsstaat und die freie Presse untergraben. Das strahlt auch auf den Rest der Welt und auf uns in Österreich aus. 2. Grobe Macht wird wieder wichtiger.In einer chaotischen Welt setzt sich der Stärkere durch. Das versucht Putin in der Ukraine, das macht Israel in Gaza und im Iran und das machen die USA, in dem sie Flugzeugträger nach Venezuela schicken. Wir kennen so eine Welt aus der europäischen Geschichte sehr gut, genau so ist die EU entstanden. Statt Krieg zwischen Frankreich und Deutschland gibt es jetzt Kompromiss, statt schnellem Durchgreifen langsames Verhandeln. Das wird an der EU oft kritisiert, aber das ist eigentlich nicht das Problem, sondern die Lösung. 3. Es braucht Erwartungsmanagement.Auf der Welt ist es wie im Privatleben. Es ist ein Auf und Ab und Tragödien gehören dazu. Wer in dem Bewusstsein lebt, ist resilienter. Ich plädiere für Zuversicht. Wir machen das Beste aus dem, was wir haben. Wie sollte man das Leben auch anders leben können? Tessa plädiert für dringlichen Optimismus, für urgent optimism, wie Hannah Ritchie sagt: Es gibt Probleme, ja, aber auch Fortschritte, und wir sollten uns auf die Bereiche konzentrieren, wo wir tatsächlich einen Unterschied machen können. ***Hilf wie 400+ andere Hörer:innen mit, den Podcast zu finanzieren.

Are we wasting our talents on meaningless jobs? Should our career choices reflect our morals? Author and historian Rutger Bregman thinks so. He argues that the most talented people in America are stuck in a real-life version of the movie Office Space  — and that we should be trying to solve the world's biggest problems instead.  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Bregman to ask: When did we lose our moral ambition? Are we greedy, cynical, or are we just trying to escape an ever-increasing affordability crisis?   Click here to learn about Bregman's book, Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent And Start Making A Difference.

Rutger Bregman is a Dutch historian, bestselling author, and the guy who went viral telling Davos billionaires to pay their taxes. This conversation is a salve for the crisis of meaning percolating through modern life. We explore Rutger's pragmatic antidote—moral ambition—and discuss why a quarter of workers believe their jobs are socially useless, what the abolitionists teach us about coalition-building, and why factory farming may be the ethical abomination future historians judge us for most harshly. Rutger's conviction is rare and infectious. By the end of our conversation, I was so inspired that I committed $25K to his organization's new US Food System Reform Program, a cause area that is deeply important to me.

In the 2025 Reith lectures on BBC Radio 4, Rutger Bregman argues that small groups of individuals can have an outsize influence and he looks to examples in history from suffragism to the ending of slavery.

Good morning. This week saw the beginning of this year's Reith lectures in which the Dutch historian Rutger Bregman is calling for a moral revolution. This annual lecture series is the chance to hear a distinguished person speak philosophically on a subject which concerns us all. The lectures are named after the BBC's founder John Reith who believed it was the BBC's mission not only to inform and entertain but also to educate the public, to help us gain not only knowledge but wisdom. I remember an inspiring series by Atul Gawande on the Future of Medicine, in which he invited us to confront our mortality, and then there was Mark Carney's series on Financial Value and Human Value. The lectures which had the most impact on me were by Onora O' Neill, in 2002, and was called A Question of Trust. She discussed why it was that our society, both as individuals and institutions had become so lacking in trust. Though she was speaking over twenty years ago the issue has become even more urgent today. Only yesterday on this programme, the Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride was lamenting the lack of trust in our institutions. Onora O' Neill argued that our problem with trust was that we had come to put our faith not in each other but in processes. Analysing problems, constructing rules, monitoring behaviour, keeping records. All this is important of course, especially if you're flying a plane or working in an operating theatre. But trust, trust, involves something different which goes beyond paperwork. It's a kind of faith in the integrity of others, the belief that others are capable of behaving with more than their own interests in mind. It is much more risky, of course, and can be betrayed; but equally paperwork can be falsified and conversations denied. Trust at best is a virtue, and it is demanding of ourselves and others. Often it is when others instinctively trust us that we are inspired to trust others. On Sunday the Church begins the season of Advent, a time of looking forward in hope for the coming of Christ. Much of the imagery of the Advent season calls on the experience of Israel in exile as described by the Old Testament prophets. The prophets speak of restoration and salvation. Everything depends on trust, trust in God and a rejection of false gods, trust that a good life is possible in a homeland which is a real home. The hoped for restoration will put things right between people and nations, between friends and neighbours and between humanity and God. Trust ultimately is an essential ingredient of wisdom, the quality that John Reith hoped that his new broadcasting organisation would come to bestow on its audience.
