It will then focus on the challenges that cultural and ideological pluralism poses to received ideas about the role of law in the government of domestic and international society. Dr Donaldson's talk, ‘Gaze, Agency and International Society', reads Karen Knop's early work on self-determination as a repertoire of techniques for thinking collectivities and affiliations against and across states. The multiple and mobile perspectives she brought to bear, and the agency she glimpsed in disparate individuals and communities, pervaded much of her later work too, and remains open to, even generative of, renewed understandings of international society.Martti Koskenniemi is Professor Emeritus of International law at the University of Helsinki.

Karen, until her untimely passing, was the Cecil A Wright Chair at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session III Private and Foreign Relations LawProfessor Anne Peters in conversation with Dr Roxana BanuChair: Professor Campbell McLachlanProfessor Peters's talk, 'Populism, Foreign Relations Law, and global order and justice', will discuss populist foreign relations law, which was Karen Knop's last project, at the university of Helsinki and as a Max Planck fellow. This talk will make the point that ongoing transformations of the concept of law itself, of legal procedures, and of legal substance cut across the ‘levels' of governance. And neither identitarian rhetoric, nor trade wars, nor border-fences will bring back an inter-state, Westphalian (or ‘Eastfalian') order. We are living in conditions of global law (and transnational) law. Populist heads of state both deploy and defy this law (concluding populist treaties or deals such as the German-Turkish refugee agreements; denouncing treaties such as ICSID or the Paris Agreement; using their war powers to escape domestic critique; raising tariffs to please their voter-base, and so on). At the same time, domestic, local and transnational actors (ranging from cities to courts to Indigenous peoples, or philanthro-capitalists) activate all kinds of law to resist populism. Such global lawfare destabilises world order but also has a transformative potential. New legal forms (especially informal agreements), new legal processes (such as public interest litigation before the ICJ) and new legal principles (such as One Health; Rectification/reparation; and the exposure of double standards) are responding to the big challenges for global order and justice: the cultural, the social, and the ecological challenge. Dr Banu's talk, 'Foreign Affairs, Self-Determination and Private International Law', begins with the point that foreign affairs questions are often thought to lie at the very edge of private international law, perhaps in the leftover corners of the historical alignment between private and public international law. Similarly, in part on the assumption that private international law settles conflicts of laws between already established states, there wouldn't appear to be any intuitive connection between nationalist or self-determination movements and the field of private international law.This talk will show that these assumptions are mistaken. By engaging with the historical development of the field from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, the talk will show that private international law has been deeply enmeshed in major geopolitical events generally, and in nationalist and self-determination movements, in particular. This enmeshment is neither accidental, nor exclusively modern. It is the inevitable result of some of private international law's main analytical and conceptual building blocks. Anne Peters is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law Heidelberg (Germany), and Professor at the universities of Heidelberg, Freie Universität Berlin and Basel (Switzerland).

Joining us this week is returning guest Eric Endlich, Ph.D. Dr. Endlich is a clinical psychologist and founder of Top College Consultants®, which specializes in guiding neurodivergent students through the college application process. An advocate and expert in the field and a neurodivergent adult himself, he co-teaches a UC Irvine course for educational consultants, manages a large Facebook group for parents of neurodivergent students, and serves on advisory boards related to autism and neurodiversity. Dr. Endlich joins us this week to discuss the far too often overlooked challenges that neurodivergent students face when transitioning from high school to college. While gaining admission is one big challenge, the real challenge is succeeding once on campus, and Dr. Endlich sheds some light on some of the key differences between being college-capable and college-ready, highlighting the fact that students with learning and thinking differences are typically at much higher risk of not completing their degrees. We also explore some practical strategies to help students prepare for the increased independence and self-advocacy required in college life, with topics including building executive functioning skills in high school, the value of gap years, and how parents can gradually transition from being advocates to coaches.  Dr. Endlich even talks about how to find the right college fit and make the most of on-campus resources, especially for students needing accommodations and support programs. Whether your teen is just starting high school or gearing up for college in the upcoming fall season, this episode of the podcast truly provides some practical insights into how to foster independence! Show Notes: [2:39] - Dr. Endlich asserts that too many students focus too much on getting into college rather than graduating from it. [4:43] - Success in college requires more than just academic capability; independence and self-management skills are also important. [6:36] - College demands greater self-organization and disability accommodation compared to high school. [8:57] - Dr. Endlich argues that parents should shift from advocating for their child to empowering their independence. [10:26] - Gradually transferring daily responsibilities helps students build independence before college. [13:02] - Taking a gap year can improve college preparedness and help prevent academic burnout. [15:10] - Dr. Endlich adds that gap years can strengthen a student's portfolio and develop valuable life skills. [18:02] - Consider the long-term value of a degree and explore financial aid options. [19:51] - Dr. Endlich points out how skill development can happen during high school, gap years, or throughout college. [22:44] - Even if colleges lack support, external programs can provide assistance and guidance. [25:26] - Visiting various colleges helps students identify their preferences and find the right fit. [28:09] - It's also important to make visits to dining halls and have meetings with support staff, helping to reveal the college's suitability. [31:02] - Even without campus visits, virtual tours and accepted-student events can also offer some valuable insights. [34:58] - Bridge programs help students acclimate to college life before the official start. [36:28] - Dr. Endlich states that carefully managing the application process and having backup plans can help reduce anxiety.   Links and Related Resources: Episode 83: What Students with Disabilities Should Do When Starting College with Eric Endlich, Ph.D Episode 126: Why Self-Awareness and Self-Determination are Important for College Success with Elizabeth Hamblet Episode 156: To Test or Not to Test (ACT/SAT) in the Test-Optional Era with Annika Guy Episode 190: Should Your Teen Take a Gap Year? with Julia Rogers Top College Consultants® - Getting Into College Is the Easy Part Top College Consultants® - 6 Reasons to Consider a Gap Year   Connect with Us: Get on our Email List Book a Consultation Get Support and Connect with a ChildNEXUS Provider Register for Our Self-Paced Mini Courses: Support for Parents Who Have Children with ADHD, Anxiety, or Dyslexia    Connect with Eric Endlich, Ph.D: Eric Endlich, Ph.D's LinkedIn Page Top College Consultants® Email: eric@topcollegeconsultants.com  Phone: (833) WE-APPLY (toll free)

#1261 - Hooked on Games: How to Help Kids Break Free from Addictive Gaming (feat. Scott Novus, former VP at Disney & gaming expert)

Dr. Justin Coulson speaks with former Disney executive and GameTruck founder Scott Novis about the hidden dangers of video games—and how parents can help their kids develop a healthy relationship with gaming. From understanding addictive design to replacing screen time with real-world connection, this conversation delivers practical, real-world solutions for every family navigating the digital age. KEY POINTS Addiction by Design: Some game developers deliberately design games using the "hook algorithm" to exploit children’s brain development and keep them playing compulsively. Self-Determination vs. Hooked Gaming: Games built on autonomy, mastery, and relatedness (like Minecraft) build skills and confidence. Hooked games create craving, not satisfaction. 3 Hacks for Safer Gaming: Buy the game (don’t use free-to-play). Play offline (limits tracking and manipulation). Listen to how your child talks about the game (progress = good, frustration = red flag). Ending Game Time Without Conflict: Pre-agree on ending conditions, give non-verbal cues (like flicking the lights), and offer choices that preserve agency. Offline Substitutes Matter: Create "hard to enter, hard to leave" real-life communities (e.g., sports, jiu-jitsu, Dungeons & Dragons) that offer connection, skill-building, and purpose. Social Disconnection: Excessive gaming and screen time can cause “virtual autism” and impair emotional and social development. The Goal: Return to a play-based childhood that prioritises real-world connection, effort, and fun. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “If your child sounds like a victim when they talk about the game—they’re in trouble. If they sound empowered, they’re probably playing a good game.”— Scott Novis RESOURCES MENTIONED Books: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt Glued to Games by Scott Rigby & Richard Ryan Scattered Minds by Dr. Gabor Maté Miss Connection by Dr. Justin Coulson Websites: https://www.scottnovis.com/ – Scott's personal site gametruck.com – Scott's company for social gaming experiences Article: William Siu's essay in The New York Times on game addiction and design ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Buy Games, Not AddictionsChoose paid games that don’t rely on manipulating your child’s attention or money. Play Offline Whenever PossibleRemove always-on connectivity that allows companies to track and shape behaviour. Ask the Right QuestionsIs your child developing skills—or just chasing random rewards? Listen for signs of empowerment or frustration. Negotiate Game Time Up FrontPre-agree on stop times and methods, give warnings (e.g., flicking lights), and honour your child’s autonomy. Replace, Don’t Just RemoveReplace screen time with rich, social, skill-building real-world activities—like sports, martial arts, tabletop games, or outdoor adventures. No Screens in BedroomsSet screen bedtimes. Keep devices out of reach at night to prevent secret play. Get InvolvedPlay games with your kids—even if you're bad at them.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED May 20, 2021 In this episode, we speak with Nick Estes, author of Our History Is the Future, about the powerful throughline connecting the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee, the 1973 AIM occupation, and the 2016 resistance at Standing Rock. Far from isolated events, these are chapters in a living history of Indigenous struggle against settler colonialism, ecological devastation, and capitalist expansion. Estes brings a revolutionary lens to history; one that is rooted in land, memory, and the radical refusal to disappear. This isn't just a conversation about the past though, it's a call to understand that the continued fight for Indigenous sovereignty is the fight for a livable future.

Send us a textWhat if the dreams of Africa's greatest liberators were not just echoes of the past, but a living blueprint for the future? In this electrifying episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon channels the urgent voice of a new generation, igniting a firestorm of hope and a powerful call to action for the youth of Africa, with a laser focus on the pivotal moment for Cameroon. Prepare to be moved, inspired, and galvanized by a message that transcends borders and speaks to the very soul of a continent yearning for true liberation.Lira doesn't just share a message; she amplifies a potent awakening. Through the impassioned words of a young African, she unpacks the burning desire for unity and self-determination that is surging through the continent's veins. This isn't a nostalgic look back, but a vibrant connection to the unfinished work of pan-African giants like Kwame Nkrumah, the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, the unwavering conviction of Patrice Lumumba, and the enduring legacy of Nelson Mandela. Their sacrifices, Lira powerfully argues, were seeds planted for this very moment – a moment where the youth are rising to claim their inheritance.With palpable excitement, Lira dissects the profound mindset shift that is reshaping the African landscape. She celebrates the growing consciousness and unwavering determination of young Africans to not just envision, but actively build a better future, free from the shackles of external influence and internal stagnation. This episode is a clarion call, urging the youth to tap into their inherent power, reclaim their resources, and forge a united front towards a prosperous and self-reliant Africa – a continent where pride and progress go hand in hand. The conversation fearlessly confronts the lingering vestiges of neocolonialism and underscores the critical importance of rewriting African narratives from an African perspective.Turning her attention directly to the critical juncture facing Cameroon, Lira speaks with urgency about the upcoming 2025 elections. She underscores the undeniable link between genuine change, tangible development, and a fundamental shift in leadership. This isn't just about casting a vote; it's about seizing an opportunity to redefine the nation's trajectory. Lira paints a compelling vision of a revitalized Cameroon – a nation where education flourishes, clean water flows freely, accessible healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and the nation's immense wealth serves its people. Through a personal anecdote, she poignantly captures the growing awareness and fervent desire for transformation among young Cameroonians, emphasizing that this is their Kairos moment.Beyond the immediate political horizon, Lira delivers a powerful and deeply personal message of self-belief and resilience to every young African listener. She champions the courage to trust one's journey, to embrace setbacks as invaluable lessons, and to relentlessly pursue personal aspirations.

Does the present political pendulum swing contrary to unbridled  Communism portend a positive shift toward the restoration of the Constitutional Republic? Perhaps, but an unchecked trend in the opposite direction would be equally devastating to the collective welfare, and the "Boys Downstairs" have been working both sides of the fence for centuries. Either way, our predecessors knew the game well, and left the door wide open for those who would follow suit by "Notice" of a personal Declaration of Independence.  The unabridged truth is that U.S. INC is none of our business, and contrary to the appearance of a Democratic elective process, most of us have not been given a seat at the table. Whether the contracted permissions of Corporate Citizenship satisfy your needs, or the adventure of no-holds free-ranging ignites your Spirit, it's all about the Right for Self-Determination, as our Creator intended. On this episode Abe Max & Jason Botkin join a very special Alfacast roundtable to further dissect the legal-lawful landscape that has obfuscated the simple truth for far too long.  Sovereignty is a state of Spirit that cannot be realized by words on a piece of paper, but our discussion will traverse the many supporting technologies we've shared through prior episodes and Alfa Vedic workshops. Abe Max and Jason Botkin are the creators of Self-Sown Life, a transformative educational journey along a path toward reclaiming autonomy through their own relationships with authority, using the Enlifted method to integrate personal understandings for better outcomes in a Self Sown Life.  Self Sown is a journey in self-authorship and the cultivation of wisdom, where the seed of your word becomes the blueprint of your reality. Rooted in the living principles of equity, natural law, and trust, this course empowers you to renegotiate your foundational agreements with the State, quietly and quickly reclaiming the power of your own authority. Through the Enlifted Method — a practical adaptation of narrative therapy — you'll build the mindset and resilience needed to stand strong, speak true, and live in accordance with what and who you really are. This is not just a legal education, but a reorientation of being — a bridge out of confusion, into clarity, and toward the grounded practice of freedom.

Behind every psychiatric label lies a question: Is this person mentally ill, or just misunderstood by medicine? When Dr. Kaycee Bills, a social work professor with a PhD, experienced a medical emergency from low blood pressure, she was handcuffed, sedated, and locked in a psychiatric ward instead of receiving proper care. Her crime? Being a woman whose scattered Adderall pills looked "suspicious" to authorities. This shocking personal account reveals how women are systematically disbelieved by the medical establishment—diagnosed with depression and anxiety at twice the rate of men, while serious physical conditions go untreated for years. Join Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Bills as they expose the dark underbelly of psychiatric holds, forced medication, and how the mental health system often traumatizes those it claims to help.

In this powerful episode of Black Mental Health and Race, host MFDoug AF and co-host Dr. Moore confront the growing belief that racism no longer exists. Through personal reflection, political critique, and raw dialogue, they break down the psychological traps, social consequences, and dangerous delusions behind this myth — offering their 2025 “State of the Black Union” as a call for vision, self-determination, and truth.⸻ANALYSIS — BMHR S5 02“Racism Does Not Exist: Perspective and Context of the State of the Black Union 2025”This episode is a layered conversation between MFDoug AF and Dr. Moore that tackles the false narrative that racism is over. Framed as a personal “State of the Black Union” address, it critiques denial, delusion, and the psychological fallout of assimilation.​ Denial as SurvivalDoug describes the phrase “racism doesn't exist” as more emotional than factual. It gives some Black people a sense of relief — a way to avoid discomfort by pretending inequality is no longer real. But that avoidance is harmful and misleading, rooted in internalized shame and the exhaustion of navigating systemic barriers.​ The Myth of InclusionDr. Moore deconstructs the mindset of Black Trump supporters who believe they're politically or economically aligned with elites. He calls this delusional thinking — imagining oneself as part of a class that not only excludes them but benefits from their labor and silence. The belief that access equals acceptance is framed as a modern-day extension of house slavery.​ No Vision, No FreedomA central idea is that people without vision fall into other people's visions. Dr. Moore illustrates how historically — from colonialism to slavery — those in power have always exploited the visionless. Aligning with figures like Trump or Musk isn't empowerment; it's surrendering agency. Racism hasn't vanished — it's just more sophisticated, embedded in economics, policy, and access.​ You Will Hit the WallBoth hosts argue that those denying racism will eventually hit “the wall” — a moment when reality contradicts belief. Whether it's being denied a loan, profiled, or excluded, the wall reveals itself. Pretending racism is over doesn't change the system — it just blinds you to it.​ Self-Determination is the Only Way OutThe episode closes with a return to legacy. Black people must stop waiting for outside saviors. No politician, billionaire, or system will save us. The solution lies in collective effort, cultural memory, and community-building — banking, real estate, tech, and trade — designed and led by us.Conclusion:“Racism is over” may be a comfort to some, but it's a trap. The conversation reminds us that truth, not delusion, is the foundation of progress — and only by accepting ourselves, building vision, and understanding our collective power can we confront the reality of 2025 and beyond.

Elsa Stamatopoulou's Indigenous Peoples in the International Arena: The Global Movement for Self-Determination (Routledge 2025) provides a definitive account of the creation and rise of the international Indigenous Peoples' movement. In the late 1970s, motivated by their dire situation and local struggles, and inspired by worldwide movements for social justice and decolonization, including the American civil rights movement, Indigenous Peoples around the world got together and began to organize at the international level. Although each defined itself by its relation to a unique land, culture, and often language, Indigenous Peoples from around the world made an extraordinary leap, using a common conceptual vocabulary and addressing international bodies that until then had barely recognized their existence. At the intersection of politics, law, and culture, this book documents the visionary emergence of the international Indigenous movement, detailing its challenges and achievements, including the historic recognition of Indigenous rights through the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007. The winning by Indigenous Peoples of an unprecedented kind and degree of international participation – especially at the United Nations, an institution centered on states – meant overcoming enormous institutional and political resistance. The book shows how this participation became an increasingly assertive self-expression and even an exercise of self-determination by which Indigenous Peoples could both benefit from and contribute to the international community overall – now, crucially, by sharing their knowledge about climate change, their approaches to development and well-being, and their struggles against the impact of extractive industries on their lands and resources. Written by the former Chief of the Secretariat of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, this book will be of interest to researchers, teachers, students, advocates, practitioners, and others with interests in Indigenous legal and political issues. Elsa Stamatopoulou is Director of the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Program and Adjunct Professor in the Institute for the Study of Human Rights, the Department of Anthropology, and the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race at Columbia University, USA.

In this episode, we step back in time with the Canadian Time Machine podcast to explore the past, present, and future of Canada's youngest territory—Nunavut. At just 25 years old, Nunavut is still finding its footing, but it's come a long way since its historic creation on April 1, 1999. Historian Kenn Harper, known to Nunavummiut as Ilisaijikutaaq (the tall teacher), shares stories from his time learning Inuktitut and documenting Inuit culture, including insights from his new book on the Fifth Thule Expedition. Then, Premier P.J. Akeeagok reflects on Nunavut's journey—its triumphs, its growing pains, and the work still ahead. He discusses the significance of a recent land transfer agreement that grants Nunavut full control over its lands—a major milestone toward self-determination.

Transcending (and Including) Partisan Debate with Stephanie Lepp (Humans On The Loop Ep. 04)

Subscribe, Rate, & Review on YouTube • Spotify • Apple PodcastsThis week I speak with my friend Stephanie Lepp (Website | LinkedIn), two-time Webby Award-winning producer and storyteller devoted to leaving “no insight left behind” with playful and provocative media experiments that challenge our limitations of perspective. Stephanie is the former Executive Director at the Institute for Cultural Evolution and former Executive Producer at the Center for Humane Technology. Her work has been covered by NPR and the MIT Technology Review, supported by the Mozilla Foundation and Sundance Institute, and featured on Future Fossils Podcast twice — first in episode 154 for her project Deep Reckonings and then in episode 205 with Greg Thomas on Jazz Leadership and Antagonistic Cooperation.Her latest project, Faces of X, pits actors against themselves in scripted trialogues between the politically liberal and conversative positions on major social issues, with a third role swooping in to observe what each side gets right and what they have in common. I support this work wholeheartedly. In my endless efforts to distill the key themes of Humans On The Loop, one of them is surely how our increasing connectivity can — if used wisely — help each of us identify our blind spots, find new respect and compassion for others, and discover new things about our ever-evolving selves (at every scale, from within the human body to the Big We of the biosphere and beyond).Thanks for listening and enjoy this conversation!Project LinksLearn more about this project and read the essays so far (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).Make tax-deductible donations to Humans On The LoopBrowse the HOTL reading list and support local booksellersJoin the Holistic Technology & Wise Innovation Discord serverJoin the private Future Fossils Facebook groupHire me for consulting or advisory workChapters0:00:00 – Teaser0:00:48 – Intro0:06:33 – The Black, White, and Gray of Agency0:10:54 – Stephanie's Initiation into Multiperspectivalism0:15:57 – Hegelian Synthesis with Faces of X0:23:53 – Reconciling Culture & Geography0:29:02 – Improvising Faces of X for AI0:46:34 – Do Artifacts Have Politics?0:50:04 – Playing in An Orchestra of Perspectives0:55:10 – Increasing Agency in Policy & Voting1:05:55 – Self-Determination in The Family1:08:39 – Thanks & OutroOther Mentions• Damien Walter on Andor vs. The Acolyte• William Irwin Thompson• John Perry Barlow's “A Declaration for The Independence of Cyberspace”• Cosma Shalizi and Henry Farrell's “Artificial intelligence is a familiar-looking monster”• Liv Boeree• Allen Ginsberg• Scott Alexander's Meditations on Moloch• Singularity University• Android Jones + Anson Phong's Chimera• Basecamp• Grimes• Langdon Winner's “Do Artifacts Have Politics?”• Ibram X.
