The Pacific Northwest Insurance Corporation Moviefilm Podcast
Hey sorry the episode is late, we recorded like three episodes this week and Matt didn't have time to edit. Anyway while we were scrambing to figure out something to watch for weird scheduling reasons, we discovered that Apocalypto was shot on digital and boy oh boy were we lucky for that fact because this is a weird one/wild digital artifact. Topics include: Gibson's unrelenting thrist for a certain kind on screen violence, the weird push and pull between woke method and conservative values in the movie, and the uses of digital video in creating a kind of on screen murkiness as a central unifying aesthetic. An artcicle about the movie's busted concept of Mayan history can be read here. Our friend Ryder recommends "Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest" for a pointed corrective on the kind of anthropological thinking that Gibson promotes here: we don't tak about it much because we're a film scolar and a local dummy but Ryder went to fancy history school. Matt recommends a book that won't be out for a few months. Yeah I don't get it either. Corbin recommends a video game, available on your local video game console of choice. Thursday's episode is about INLAND EMPIRE. Watch it here.

The focus of this podcast episode is the exploration of the myths surrounding singleness, as articulated by our esteemed guest, Sam Alberry, in relation to his enlightening book, "Seven Myths of Singleness." We engage in a profound discourse that seeks to dismantle the prevalent misconceptions regarding the nature of intimacy and the societal perceptions of singlehood. Throughout our conversation, we explore the notion that singleness is not a mere precursor to marriage, nor is it synonymous with loneliness; rather, it is a state of being that can encompass rich, meaningful relationships and spiritual fulfillment. Alberry offers invaluable insights into the significance of fostering deep, non-romantic connections, emphasizing that true intimacy transcends sexual relationships, fostering a holistic understanding of companionship. This episode serves as a clarion call for both single individuals and those in marital unions to reevaluate their perceptions of intimacy, community, and the inherent value that singleness can embody in our lives.Takeaways:The podcast emphasizes the importance of understanding singleness as a positive state rather than merely a lack of marriage, which is often misconstrued in societal narratives. Sam Alberry articulates that true intimacy can exist outside of romantic relationships, advocating for the recognition of deep friendships and community bonds. A significant discussion is presented regarding the misconceptions surrounding the 'gift of singleness' and the need to view both singleness and marriage as gifts from God. Listeners are encouraged to engage in meaningful friendships that foster mutual support and understanding, breaking the asymmetry often seen in relationships between singles and married individuals. The episode highlights Paul's role as a spiritual father, illustrating how single individuals can still fulfill parental roles through mentorship and spiritual guidance within their communities. A crucial takeaway is the emphasis on finding contentment not in marital status but in one's relationship with Jesus, which transcends the challenges faced in both singleness and marriage.
This week, I chat to long-term friend of the show, Rob Dix, co-host of the Property Podcast, author of The Price of Money and now a new book Seven Myths About Money, which I highly recommend. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/session564 02:10 - Remind us about who you are and what you do. 03:47 - What was the trigger for writing this book hard on the heels of The Price of Money? 08:53 - Can you summarise the Ashvin Chhabra money motivations and why we need a new paradigm for risk management? 16:44 - I imagine some people will be surprised to read your challenge about home ownership. Can you tell us your views on home-ownership as a kind of default goal for so many people? 21:30 - I found myself nodding along as I was reading all of the book, and especially the sections around compounding and diversification - both of which are part of the accepted doctrine of investing. Is it fair to say that you think we're in for a lower and slower investing world going forward? 26:15 - If you had to give a single piece of advice to anyone looking to take their finances seriously, perhaps for the first time? 29:45 - Where's the best place to get the book and find out more about what you're up to? https://robdix.com/myths/

John D. Hosler's book Seven Myths of Military History (Hackett Publishing, 2022) "offers snapshots of seven pernicious myths in military history that have been perpetrated on unsuspecting students, readers, moviegoers, game players, and politicians. It promotes awareness of how myths are created by 'the spurious misuse and ignorance of history' and how misleading ideas about a military problem, as in asymmetric warfare, can lead to misguided solutions. Both scholarly and engaging, this book is an ideal addition to military history and historical methodology courses. In fact, it could be fruitfully used in any course that teaches critical thinking skills, including courses outside the discipline of history. Military history has a broad appeal to students, and there's something here for everyone. From the so-called 'Western Way of War' to its sister-myth, technological determinism, to the ‘academic party game' of once-faddish ‘Military Revolutions,' the book shows that while myths about history may be fun, myth busting is the most fun of all." —Reina Pennington, Norwich University Learn more about your ad choices.

"This fascinating volume is a major contribution to our understanding of the Russian Revolution, from World War I to consolidation of the Bolshevik regime. The seven myths include the exaggeration of Rasputin's influence; a purported conspiracy behind the February Revolution; the treasonous Bolshevik dependence on German support; the multiple Anastasia pretenders to the royal inheritance; the antisemitic claims about 'Judeo-Bolsheviks'; distortions about America's intervention in the civil war; and the 'inevitability' of Bolshevism. In each case the authors analyze the facts, uncover the origins of the myth, and trace its later perseverance (even in contemporary Russia). To assist readers, the volume includes three reference guides (people, terms, dates), nine maps, and twenty-nine illustrations. The result is immensely valuable for undergraduate courses in Russian history." —Gregory L. Freeze, Raymond Ginger Professor of History, Brandeis University.

Nonalignment, secularism, socialism, democracy, high modernism—these are all ideas that students of India have long associated with India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. These elements have been so embedded in the Indian psyche that we regularly speak of a “Nehruvian consensus” without thinking twice.A new book by the scholar Taylor C. Sherman, a professor in the Department of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science, revisits this consensus and finds that all is not what it seems. These high-minded notions that we've long associated with Nehru are—at their core—myths. And like all good myths, there's a kernel of truth somewhere in there but the reality is far more nuanced.Taylor joins Milan on the show this week to discuss these myths, which she's documented in a new book, Nehru's India: A History in Seven Myths. The two discuss the disconnect between Nehru's rhetoric and the lived realities on the ground, the trouble with the notion of a “Nehruvian consensus,” and the “software” bugs of Indian democracy. Plus, the two discuss how Nehru's legacy can help us understand the rise of Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Episode notes:Taylor C.

Nehru's India: A History in Seven Myths (Princeton UP, 2022) brings a provocative but nuanced set of new interpretations to the history of early independent India. Drawing from her extensive research over the past two decades, Taylor Sherman reevaluates the role of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, in shaping the nation. She argues that the notion of Nehru as the architect of independent India, as well as the ideas, policies, and institutions most strongly associated with his premiership—nonalignment, secularism, socialism, democracy, the strong state, and high modernism—have lost their explanatory power. They have become myths. Sherman examines seminal projects from the time and also introduces readers to little-known personalities and fresh case studies, including India's continued engagement with overseas Indians, the importance of Buddhism in secular India, the transformations in industry and social life brought about by bicycles, a riotous and ultimately doomed attempt to prohibit the consumption of alcohol in Bombay, the early history of election campaign finance, and the first state-sponsored art exhibitions. The author also shines a light on underappreciated individuals, such as Apa Pant, the charismatic diplomat who influenced foreign policy from Kenya to Tibet, and Urmila Eulie Chowdhury, the rebellious architect who helped oversee the building of Chandigarh. Tracing and critiquing developments in this formative period in Indian history, Nehru's India offers a fresh and definitive exploration of the nation's early postcolonial era.

In our Myths of Selling to Government podcast and in our book, Seven Myths of Selling to Government, we've made it clear that we're not a fan of cold calling during the quest to win a government contract. We've reasoned that there are so many more things that must be done to get potential buyers' attention. But, we found a worthy opponent to debate whether cold calling can work in government sales. Mike Dombo of Kensington Sales Group does nothing but cold calls to government for his clients. He approaches cold calling in a different way than most people do. He's very unassuming and uses a key phrase in every call. The approach and phrase are unveiled in this episode of Myths of Selling to Government podcast episode.
From the end of the 15th century, the Conquistadors changed the face of the Americas. Invading first the Caribbean and Mexico, they then plunged on into the rest of the continent and plundered the Pacific seaboard. So what do we know of these Europeans and their quest to expand a burgeoning empire? And who were the indigenous people that resisted invasion, negotiated with strangers, and fought off barbarians? This is a Short History of the Conquistadors. Written by Jo Furniss. With thanks to Professor Matthew Restall, Director of Latin American Studies at Penn State University and author of Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest and When Montezuma met Cortez.

Although there is often opposition to individual wars, most people continue to believe that the arms industry is necessary in some form: to safeguard our security, provide jobs and stimulate the economy. Not only conservatives, but many progressives and liberals, support it for these reasons. Indefensible puts forward a devastating challenge to this conventional wisdom, which has normalized the existence of the most savage weapons of mass destruction ever known. Indefensible: Seven Myths that Sustain the Global Arms Trade (Zed Books, 2017) is the essential handbook for those who want to debunk the arguments of the industry and its supporters: deploying case studies, statistics and irrefutable evidence to demonstrate they are fundamentally flawed, both factually and logically. Far from protecting us, the book shows how the arms trade undermines our security by fanning the flames of war, terrorism and global instability. In countering these myths, the book points to ways in which we can combat the arms trade's malignant influence, reclaim our democracies and reshape our economies. The book can be read here for free.

Many Canadians do not know that cash value policies are often lent on by 3rd party banks. It’s actually the most popular way Canadians have been getting access to their collateral is from commercial banks. Banks want you to borrow from them. It is that simple. They will do everything in their power to market their loan products to you so they can collect as much interest volume in the form of cash flow payments coming back to their institution. They even have special departments that focus their energy on unique cash surrender value lending products.

In April 1861, following a steady barrage of artillery that left him unable to resupply his garrison, the commander of the Union outpost of Fort Sumter, in Charleston's harbor, surrendered his command to the new Confederates States of America. Some argue that the actions of U.S. Army Major Robert Anderson, an old Seminole War hand, may have sealed the fate unfavorably for the new CSA. While he ordered his men to return cannon fire to the onshore batteries, he specifically prohibited shelling of the heart of Charleston, with all the loss of civilian life and structural destruction. By acting in response to CSA provocations, Anderson positioned his command to be viewed as both a victim of Confederate aggression and as a heroic defender of sovereign federal rights and authority. Who was Robert Anderson and how did assignments in a longer military career shape his temperament as commander of Fort Sumter? Dr. Wesley Moody fills us in. He has embarked on a full-scale biography of Anderson, whom, incredibly, has never had a biography written about him. Our listeners will find it of note that Anderson enjoyed extensive service in Florida, fighting at the Battle of Loxahatchee River, near present-day Jupiter, Florida, and on the staff of General Winfield Scott. Florida-native, Dr. John Wesley Moody III, has been a professor of history since 2007, Dr Moody has worked as a professor of history at Florida State College at Jacksonville. Born and raised in Pensacola, Dr. Moody received a Bachelor's from the University of Southern Mississippi; a Master's degree from University of West Georgia; and a Ph.D. from Georgia State University. He specializes in 19th century American history, specifically military. He is in preliminary stages of a textbook proposal to tell Florida history from first European contact to the present. He is also presently in preliminary stages for a biography of Major Robert Anderson, the commander at Fort Sumter when the first shots there began the military aspects of the American Civil War. Dr Moody is author of four books already, including Demon of the Lost Cause: Sherman and Civil War History; Seven Myths of the Lost Cause; the Battle of Fort Sumter; and a biography of a civil war Marine. Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation. He is a combat veteran and of the U.S. Army, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Kosovo, and at the Pentagon after 9/11. A military historian, he holds masters degrees in Public History, Communication, and Homeland Security, and is a graduate of the US Army War College with an advanced degree in strategic studies.

Following three weeks of how-to research methods from Chris Kimball, Seminole War historian and author, we bring an academic into our fold to discuss the view from inside the proverbial ivory tower. Professors battle over arcane academic theories but to do history right, this week's guest says one still must do basic gumshoe detective work to find out what happened and, possibly, why. The great news for researchers is that the Seminole Wars were well documented in writing from the highest levels of government down to the foot soldier or pioneer. Materials are available, even if they are crumbling in one's hands when inspected today. Florida-native, Dr. John Wesley Moody III, has been a professor of history since 2007, Dr Moody has worked as a professor of history at Florida State College at Jacksonville. He compares and contrasts historical research methods, such as those Chris Kimball highlighted. And he discusses contentious contemporary approaches to historical research. Dr. Moody prefers the narrative aoproach, telling a coherent and possibly unified story to understand what happened at a given place and time. Other historical approaches include applying race, class, gender, and sexual identity as the lens through which a historian should view the past. Dr. Moody discusses pros and cons of historical approaches.

Seven Myths of Singleness by Sam AllberrySupport the show
Rote memorisation is commonly reviled. I think some careful consideration of its role is in order. In short, my position is that rote memorisation is an inefficient approach, but sometimes difficult to avoid (such as when learning foreign language vocabulary), and should not be shied away from when there is no other option, though we should certainly do what we can to use alternatives. In the recording I also talk about ways to reduce or eliminate rote memorisation where possible, cultural differences between China and the West, and my own experience of learning vocabulary, among other things.

What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy is a book that I read early in my education research quest. At the time, I thought that it had interesting points to make, but I was unclear on quite how to react to it. After several more years of reading and research, it's clear to me that this book is deeply flawed. First of all, the author redefines "literacy" in a very strange way. He takes any form of semiotic system to count as a "type" of literacy. So, for example, if you know how to use a smartphone, then you are "literate" in the layout, symbols, and conventions of smartphone user interface. This is obviously not the kind of literacy that most people are interested on or concerned about, and it is less valuable than "conventional" literacy, partly because of barrier to entry (learning to read is relatively hard, learning to use a phone is relatively easy) and partly because of utility. Secondly, he coins a lot of new terminology for no apparent reason. During the recording I've had to translate some of his terms into more ordinary language, including the usual technical terms rather than his special ones. His terminology only serves to obscure his message and make it seem as if there is more content here than there really is. Finally, and most importantly, his central point is misguided. He essentially says that learning a subject is mostly about socially getting on in that world - knowing how to get on with other artists, mathematicians, surgeons, or whatever other skill "community", depending on the domain. However, this completely overlooks the glaring difference in difficulty between getting to know social conventions and attitudes of a subculture and learning the requisite knowledge and skills in order to be useful and productive in that domain, let alone to actually understand what is being said by other practitioners. The former takes a matter of weeks or months of acculturation, and the latter years or even decades of dedication. If we focus on the social context of knowledge rather than the knowledge itself, to coin a phrase, it would be like making beautiful light fittings for a house that you haven't built - pointless in the absence of the larger task that is left undone.

In this very special episode — our 100th episode — we're in myth-busting mode and are taking a look at the common misconceptions of introverted and extroverted personality types. It's no secret that we're lovers of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and using it to understand your own and your team's personality types. There are certain things that we see time and time again when it comes to understanding — or a lack thereof — of the different personality types out there. It's your role as a people leader to find the uniqueness in each person. When you really look at the underlying motivation for behaviours, it makes life so much simpler. Knowledge is definitely power. So we're here to help uncover the seven myths of introversion and extroversion. Episode highlights: Our personal relationships with introverts and extroverts - Michelle is married to an extrovert and Jan is married to an introvert. How we use our personal relationships to teach our Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) workshops. “When you really look at the underlying motivation for behaviours, it makes life so much simpler. Knowledge is power.” Research shows there are slightly more introverts in Australia and slightly more extroverts in America. Myth #1 - Extroverts are happier. They are more likely to express their thoughts and feelings. Introverts tend to have a rich internal life so analyse more and keep to themselves. Myth #2 - Introverts don't like to socialise. Perhaps one of the biggest misconceptions. Introverts do like to socialise, they just do it in a different way, on their own terms. Myth #3 - Extroverts are more confident. Extroverts come across as more confident because of their body language and openness. On the flip side, introverts appear calm, but it's not always the case. Myth #4 - Extroverts are superficial. Extroverts love breadth of relationships and events, while introverts love the depth. Myth #5 - Introverts are less emotional. They tend to bottle up their emotions more, so it's important to check in with introverted people rather than assuming they are okay. Myth #6 - Extroverts love to network. Because extroverts are good at making small talk, it's assumed they are great networkers. Really, introverts can be just as good because they can delve deeper and foster stronger relationships. Myth #7 - Introverts don't contribute as much. Giving an introvert the opportunity to speak up in meetings is key. They might contribute in other ways, such as listening and being fully present. “The MBTI is a great tool to use to broaden your level of staff awareness and understand the impact you might be having on other people. If you're going to work on anything, understanding yourself and your impact will bring you a rich life.” Our hopes for helping people leaders through this significant time of change with our virtually run workshops.

We picked a great time to launch a travel podcast — just before the coronavirus became a global pandemic! We discuss the impact the lockdown has had on us as well as how calm and civil it has been in Bariloche, Argentina. The primary focus of Episode 4, however, is a review of the seven myths surrounding long-term travel. And here they are:It’s expensive (or you have to save up a lot to do it)You have to speak the languageHuge risk and/or not safeIt’s only for a lucky few; “must be nice”It isn’t sustainable; it will run its courseIt’s too hard to be away from friends and family; would miss them too muchYou’re always on vacation; everything is so glamorous We debunk the myths and share our experiences during our nearly 20 months on the road.

Happy new year! The podcast is back with an extended episode featuring not one, but two special guests. Emma and Tom are joined by Dr Judith Kneen who runs the PGCE Secondary English course, and Sharne Watkins, Deputy Head of Initial Teacher Education, PGCE Primary literacy specialist... and Tom's line manager - gulp! Emma, Tom, Judith and Sharne bring us a meaty 57 minutes in which they review a fairly controversial publication: Daisy Christodoulou's 'Seven Myths about Education' - a book that ruffled a fair few feathers on its publication in 2014, propelled its author to instant fame as a darling of the traditionalist wing of the education world, and had commentators even tipping her as the next head of Ofsted. The book itself aims to set out seven 'myths' which are apparently dearly-held by 'progressives', and to demolish them with evidence and science. Focusing mainly on the first two myths for reasons of time ('facts prevent understanding' and 'teacher-led instruction is passive'), our intrepid podcast quartet interrogate Christodoulou's work and try to get to the bottom of whether this really is 'the most important book of the decade on teaching' (Dylan Wiliam). Sharne then provides us with her wellbeing tip, which involves getting your trainers on and going for a walk, a shoutout to a student who changed careers to become a teacher and press-ganged her giant-vegetable-growing friend into participating in a memorable lesson, and looks at how to grab pupils with a memorable 'hook'. See you in a fortnight, when we'll drag yet another guest into our studio, and provide some sage advice for anyone considering applying for a PGCE.
As the Democrats prepare to assume control of the U.S. House of Representatives, many are speculating about the extent of Congressional oversight over the next two years. With this speculation comes a flood of misunderstanding and myths about the role of Congress and their oversight powers. In our conversation with Jonathan Meyer today, author of Don’t Be Fooled: Seven Myths About Congressional Oversight, we walk through several of the myths surrounding Congress, their Constitutional power to investigate, and how their powers affect all aspects of the economy. Jon Meyer is a partner at Sheppard Mullin and counsels clients on their interactions with federal and state government, as well as cybersecurity, homeland security, Congressional oversight and immigration, among other challenges. Jon previously served various appointed roles in the United States Departments of Justice and Homeland Security prior to his recent re-entry into private practice. What We Discuss in this Episode: What about the current administration inspired Jon to write this article? Myth 1 – The Democrats’ anticipated oversight of the Trump administration will lead to a disregard of oversight of the private sector What is Congressional oversight and how far does it extend? Myth 2 – A new Congress will automatically mean an abundance of subpoena issuance Myth 3 – Congressional hearings are all the same and happen too frequently Myth 4 – All subpoenas are the same What is the proper way to comply with a subpoena if you’re on the receiving end of one? Myth 5 – A Congressional investigation is similar to discovery in a civil suit When Congress enforces a subpoena, how much authority does a Court have in interpreting that subpoena power? What is the difference between oversight of agencies and oversight of private individuals and companies? Myth 6 – In order to be issued, subpoenas require a majority vote of the committee Myth 7 – The law is the most important factor in determining what happens in Congressional oversight Resources Mentioned: Jon’s article – Don’t Be Fooled: Seven Myths About Congressional Oversight Contact Information: Jonathan’s Sheppard Mullin attorney profile jmeyer@sheppardmullin.com Thank you for listening!

Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong
We trace how Portugal and Spain, two previously marginal European kingdoms, rapidly and unexpectedly exploded onto the world scene, building a chain of fortified colonies stretching from North Africa to China, and conquering the larger and richer empires of Mexico and Peru. The early Iberian colonizers sought to continue the tradition of the Crusades and the Reconquista, and saw their foreign conquests as steps towards retaking Jerusalem; the benefited not only from superior weaponry and navigation, but from cataclysmic disease epidemics that brought the Pre-Columbian empires to their knees.

The crusades are a very popular topic. It is also can be one of the most controversial, with books and websites offering misinformation, exaggerations and falsehoods. We take a look at how historians are dealing with the challenges of writing about the crusades with our guest Professor Andrew Holt of Florida State College. He recently co-edited the book Seven Myths of the Crusades and joins us to talk about it.
A continuation of last week's episode about Daisy Christodoulou's book.
This should be a controversial episode! I cover this book in the interests of looking at the cognitive science it refers to. However, this is also the sort of book that tries to undermine, or even overthrow, what might be interpreted as a failing ideology among many educators. It is therefore not possible for me to talk about it without at least paying some heed to a long-standing debate in education circles: progressivism versus traditionalism. Progressivism is hard to pin down exactly, because it's used as a catch-all term for many ideas in education. Some people who would call themselves educational progressives would have completely different ideas from other self-described progressives. Ideas huddled under the progressive umbrella include character education; "whole-child" learning/development; using more "authentic" assessments (i.e. not paper-and-pencil tests); experiential learning; and discovery learning, to name but a few. You have to say though, they did a good PR job naming their ideas "progressive" - who doesn't like progress, after all? Daisy Christodoulou is one of the relatively un-trendy educators who rails against progressivist ideas rather than campaigning for them. A former teacher in the English state school system, after several years she left her job to study cognitive science. As a teacher, she followed all the advice and guidance of her superiors and training bodies and institutes, but found that, despite this, her students weren't learning much. During her subsequent degree, she feels that she found out why - because the progressive ideas that she was being taught as a teacher in training are completely out of line with the actual science of how people think and learn. Although it's a slim little volume, I've had to split it into two parts to cover it in enough depth. I try my hardest not to be biased and to be fair to all sides of this debate, and any failings on this point are my own. It's hard remaining neutral on such a hot topic, I have to say! I hope that the ideas in this book help to enrich your own understanding of this controversy in education, whatever your views. Enjoy the episode.
