    Why does healthy eating feel so hard—even when we know exactly what to do?

Dr. Lisle is the co-author of The Pleasure Trap and a longtime voice in evolutionary psychology. In this conversation, he shares his perspective on why highly processed foods can be so alluring, why shame and willpower are not enough, and how people can build a more sustainable whole-food plant-based way of eating. In this episode: Why the modern food environment can feel impossible to escape The psychology of pleasure, pain avoidance, and habit Why healthy diets can fail when they feel too restrictive Dr. Lisle's "vegan Bushman" approach to calorie density and satisfaction What he thinks about GLP-1 weight-loss medications How to judge dietary progress without obsessing over daily scale changes A preview of his upcoming book, Sherlock Holmes and the Secret of Life   Dr. Lisle will also be joining Chuck at the Plant Powered Party in Las Vegas, September 4–6.

    Absolute potato! This week, TWIFH is delighted to bring you a special preview of Femme & Furious, a new pod-friend and great listen for fans of fandom, and especially for listeners who liked our old behind-the-scenes pop culture rundown episodes for Patreon. In this episode, our friend Julia Portela looks with a feminist lens at five (secretly six) pieces of extremely current media: Obsession, The Drama, Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sterling Point, and the novel Girl's Girl by Sonia Feldman. Julia is funny, smart, and definitely a fangirl. Listen to our #Gamergate episode over on her feed, too!---This week on Femme & Furious, we're breaking our own format because while it's technically a "Fast 5," we've got six properties on deck, because there was too much good pop culture to cover this month. Spoiler-free pitches up top for each one, then we go all the way in with spoilers, feminist analysis, and a few unhinged theories. What I'm covering: Obsession — the viral horror hit that outran Supergirl in theaters, the "man or the bear" discourse hiding in plain sight, and why Bear is absolutely a dog guy. The Drama — Zendaya and Robert Pattinson's wedding-week-gone-wrong dark comedy from Kristoffer Borgli, and the racial double standard baked into who gets forgiven for what. Odyssey — Christopher Nolan's mythic epic, the Emily Wilson feud, and a full breakdown of Circe, Calypso, Helen, Clytemnestra, and a theory about who Athena really is. Spider-Man: Brand New Day — Tom Holland's loneliest Peter Parker yet, the Frank Castle friendship that's carrying the movie, and a hard pass on that Little Caesars order. Sterling Point — Amazon's CW-coded YA drama, a love triangle the writing doesn't quite earn, and the most joyful period scene we've seen on TV ever. Girl's Girl by Sonia Feldman — one of my favorite books of the year, a queer coming-of-age story about girlhood, friendship, and phones as a silent second language.

    You can feel it right away: I'm running on “couldn't sleep” energy, and we end up having one of those raw, wide-ranging morning talks that only happens when the chat is fully engaged. We start with the reality of being an active-duty police officer who also runs a public show. That means balancing honesty with the constraints of representing a profession where one bad clip can cost you your career. From there, we get into what “fair and balanced” actually looks like when the topic is policing, public trust, and the way the uniform changes how people see you.We dig deep into police accountability and oversight, including Internal Affairs and why IA can operate very differently in a small department versus a large agency. We talk about why “we investigated ourselves” became a punchline, what checks and balances can exist behind the scenes, and why healthy skepticism of government is always warranted. We also unpack the surge of YouTube demonetization hitting First Amendment auditor channels: the theories, the platform power dynamics, and why the free speech conversation gets complicated fast when money, pressure, and policy collide.Then we go practical: use of force and de-escalation, the danger of hesitation during an arrest, and what it really means when a suspect tightens up and stops complying. We also tackle ALPR license plate readers, Flock cameras, and real-time policing tech, including the privacy fears and the case for strict auditing as a way to catch misuse at scale. Body cameras, mute buttons, public records laws, and everyday “power flex” behaviors round out a conversation aimed at one goal: better policing through clearer standards and real accountability.Subscribe for more live breakdowns, share this with someone who argues about policing online, and leave a review with the one policy change you think would actually move the needle.

    Multi-award-winning British Production Designer and Set Decorator Alison Harvey joins Chris to share the story of her life and an extraordinary career spent creating some of the most memorable worlds in British film and television.Over more than two decades, Alison has built a remarkable career across the art departments of television series and major motion pictures, progressing through a profession in which experience, instinct, imagination and an extraordinary eye for detail all play their part. Her credits span everything from British television to some of the biggest international film productions, but her journey is also the story of how a creative career develops — one job, one opportunity and one relationship at a time.In this wide-ranging conversation, Alison takes Chris back to the beginning, reflecting on her early life, the influences that shaped her creative instincts and how she first found her way into film and television. From those formative experiences came a career that would see her work her way through the art department, learning the craft from the inside and collaborating with some of the industry's leading designers and filmmakers.Her early credits included work as a design assistant on EastEnders, followed by roles as an art director, production buyer, set decorator and eventually production designer. Along the way came an extraordinary collection of films and television productions including Atonement, Sherlock Holmes, Hanna, Anna Karenina, Gravity, Edge of Tomorrow, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Hellboy, Benediction and Tetris.But it is Alison's work on the acclaimed Netflix series The Crown that has brought some of the greatest recognition of her career. As Set Decorator across all six seasons, Alison helped create the extraordinarily detailed visual world surrounding the British Royal Family, spanning decades of changing history, personalities, homes, fashions and political landscapes. The work brought Alison international recognition and multiple major industry honors. She won Primetime Emmy Awards for The Crown in 2020 for the episode Aberfan and again in 2024 for the series finale Sleep, Dearie Sleep, alongside further Emmy nominations in 2018 and 2021. Her work has also received recognition from BAFTA, the Art Directors Guild, the Royal Television Society and the British Film Designers Guild.Alison talks about recreating a world that audiences already feel they know. Her career has also brought opportunities to work alongside some of the most respected names in production design and set decoration, including Martin Childs, Celia Bobak, Sarah Greenwood, Katie Spencer, Dante Ferretti, Francesca Lo Schiavo, Paul Kirby and Valentina Mladenova.Now Alison has reached another significant chapter in that journey, stepping into the role of Production Designer on Goodbye June, the feature film directed by Kate Winslet. The project marks an important point in a career that has evolved continuously — from assisting and buying to art direction, set decoration and production design.Throughout this episode of AART, Chris and Alison explore much more than a list of film credits. They talk about the experiences behind them: the choices and opportunities that shaped Alison's path, the people she learned from, the pressures and pleasures of working in film and television, collaboration, leadership, creativity and what she has discovered about herself during a career spent largely behind the camera.It's the story of a woman who has spent much of her professional life creating the worlds in which other people's stories unfold — and the life and career behind those worlds. Alison Harvey: A Life Designing for Film & Television is a conversation about creativity, perseverance, collaboration and the unpredictable journey of building a life in the film industry.Join Chris Stafford for this episode of AART, where the conversation goes beyond the work to discover the life, experiences and stories of the woman behind it.Alison's website: https://alisonharvey.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/harvey_alison/Some of Alison's favorite female artists:Cornelia ParkerEileen AgarBarbara HepworthLucie RieSusan Halls Alison's Dinner Party Guests:Barbara KrugerBarbara KingsolverBarbara Hepworth Barbara CastleBarbara HulanickiBarbara Streisand Keywords: Alison Harvey, Alison Harvey Production Designer, Alison Harvey The Crown, Alison Harvey interview, Alison Harvey podcast, British Production Designer, British Set Decorator, The Crown Set Decorator, The Crown Production Design, The Crown Behind the Scenes, Emmy Winning Production Design, Emmy Winning Set Decorator, Women in Film, Women in Television, Female Production Designer, Production Designer Interview, Set Decorator Interview, Film Art Department, British Film Industry, British Television, Film Careers, Production Design Career, Set Decoration, Atonement, Sherlock Holmes, Anna Karenina, Gravity, Edge of Tomorrow, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Hellboy, Tetris, Benediction, Goodbye June, Kate Winslet, Netflix The Crown, Martin Childs, Film and Television Podcast, Behind the Scenes Film, Art Department, Creative Careers, Chris Stafford, AART Podcast, Women Unscripted, Hollowell StudiosBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/women-unscripted--4769409/support.Host: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosWebsite: https://hollowellstudios.com/podcastsInstagram: @twomenunscriptedpodcastsEmail: hollowellstudios@gmail.com

    Charles and Jon talk to Stratton Hatfield and Koen Betjes, two conservation researchers involved in a range of fascinating work in Africa.We cover a lot of ground from Giant Pangolin research in Kenya to the importance of taxonomy for conservation and mammal listing.The pair talk about how they have just - together with Charles - solved the mystery of a mysterious mongoose, a case worthy of Sherlock Holmes.And Stratton and Koen run through a set of mammal encounters guaranteed to send any mammalwatcher weak at the knees from close encounters with Allen's Swamp Monkeys and Mountain Bongos to having a bath with a Giant Otter Shrew!Notes: Stratton Hatfield grew up in Zimbabwe and moved to Kenya when he was 12. He spent his childhood exploring the African bush and now lives in the Netherlands where he's finishing is PhD at Wageningen University (on the foraging ecology of Martial Eagles in Kenya's Maasai Mara). He continues to spend a great deal of time travelling throughout Africa working on wildlife research and guiding, with much of his current focus on conservation through his job with the BAND Foundation, supporting projects across southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. He is an avid fan of wildlife mysteries especially those related to cryptic diversity, biogeography and taxonomy.Koen Betjes studied wildlife management in the Netherlands and has since worked in some remote regions in Africa, including on Mandrills in southern Gabon, and biodiversity surveys south of Salonga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He also works with the Dutch evolutionary biologist and television presenter Freek Vonk on wildlife and conservation projects. Koen and Stratton are now working together in Kenya for the Pangolin Project, which works to protect Kenya's last remaining Giant Pangolins.Jon's trip report from Northeast Brazil is here.

Clothes without a body, blood on a windowsill, a woman who insists her husband is alive when everyone else is certain he is dead. First published in The Strand Magazine in December 1891. Collected as the sixth story in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892). Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. He created Sherlock Holmes, the world's best‑known consulting detective, and wrote widely in historical, adventure, and speculative fiction.

    Surveillance tech can find a stolen car in minutes and it can also build a map of innocent people's daily lives, so where's the line? We start with a behind-the-scenes look at real-time crime centers (RTCC) and what actually happens inside them, from pulling CAD history and RMS reports to spotting patterns that keep patrol officers safer on priority calls.From there, we get into the hottest topic we hear about right now: automatic license plate readers (ALPR) and Flock cameras. We talk about data ownership, retention, “pattern of life” fears, and why the real fight is over policy, training, and audits, not just the hardware. We also push back on lazy arguments like “your phone tracks you anyway” and explain why government power changes the privacy conversation.Then we pivot to the messy human side of policing, from the damage caused by on-duty social media content to real bodycam breakdowns. We review a clean, rights-respecting encounter with an armed citizen, a traffic stop where officer safety orders matter, and a late-night Ring camera incident that shows how quickly authority can be misused. We close with a SWAT shooting debate and a blunt look at de-escalation language, training gaps, and what accountability should look like when cops get it wrong.Subscribe for more case-by-case breakdowns, share this with someone who disagrees, and leave a review with your take on ALPR and privacy so we can keep the conversation honest.send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comSupport the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc *Send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.com

Senn explains she built the Ethakos compliance investigations platform using “vibe coding” with Claude, reducing reliance on software engineers and enabling rapid product decisions. She describes Ethakos as AI-native and human-in-the-loop, designed around how compliance teams actually work, with cleaner data creation, configurable workflows, and features that automate painful reporting tasks (e.g., investigation updates) and first drafts of chronologies, interview outlines, and reports. Senn emphasizes audibility via logs and citations, advises starting AI projects with clear risk goals, and predicts AI will remove menial work so teams can cover more risks while becoming more data- and tech-forward.

    Welcome to another episode of The PWN Call, where members of the Play Well Network gather for a relaxed conversation about the media they've been enjoying recently. The discussion ranges across video games, books, movies, and music as the hosts share recommendations, reactions, and personal experiences. Topics include returning to challenging games like Bloodborne, adventures in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, revisiting classic literature through Sherlock Holmes, thoughts on the latest Spider-Man film, and reflections on new music from Weezer. Our conversations are filled with laughter, friendly banter, and the kind of organic discussion that happens when passionate media fans get together and cut up for a bit. More than a simple recommendation episode, we hope this conversation highlights how Christians can thoughtfully engage with entertainment. The hosts explore what draws them to certain stories, how different forms of media resonate with them, and why paying attention to the things we consume can be a meaningful part of living faithfully in today's culture.

    "All good comradeship and friendship" [ABBE] The Illustrious Clients of Indianapolis, one of the oldest Sherlock Holmes societies in the United States, is celebrating its 80th anniversary this September. Today, we talk with leaders Shelly Gage and Mark Walters about their own introductions to Sherlock Holmes, and the remarkable history of the Illustrious Clients. It's a story that begins with the very young Jerry Williamson, who discovered Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce at the movies, sought out the Canon, and began corresponding with prominent Sherlockians.   You'll hear about "Immortal Thirteen" who joined their first meeting, and the group's remarkable tradition of writing and publishing, which continues today. Shelly and Mark give us a fascinating look at how an organization founded in the 1940s has preserved its traditions while adapting to a new generation of Sherlockians — and they invite listeners to join the celebration of the Illustrious Clients' 80th anniversary on Saturday, September 19, at 6:00 p.m.   Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the second half of October. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, with his review of the second season of the BBC's Sherlock series. Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of something from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.

    Five dried orange pips, sent through the post with no letter, no explanation, only three initials scrawled beneath them. Twice before, the same type of letter arrived at an English door. Twice, within weeks, a man was dead. Now a third message has come, addressed to a man who comes seeking Sherlock Holme's help. Somewhere across an ocean, an old debt has not been forgotten. Sherlock Holmes has seen ciphers, poisons, and blackmail — but rarely a warning this odd. This is a story about how far the past can reach. Publication "The Five Orange Pips" first appeared in The Strand Magazine in November 1891. It was collected the following year in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Author Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer who created Sherlock Holmes, the world's most enduring fictional detective. Beyond the Holmes canon, he wrote historical novels, science fiction, and non-fiction across a career spanning five decades.

    Never enough! This week, V and Emily travel back to TWIFH's oldest historical event thus far: opera singer Jenny Lind's landmark 1850 tour in the United States and its accompanying “Lindmania.” Did you know that the fangirls of 1850 were Just Like Us? They sobbed, they squeed, they schemed to meet their faves, and they spent way, WAY too much on concert tickets. The quotes from antebellum Lind fans reacting to hearing secular music for the first time give us the chills. Come wait outside the stage doors with us for a glimpse at the Swedish Nightingale.SourcesListening & Longing: Music Lovers in the Age of Barnum by Daniel Cavicchi"Fandom Before 'Fan'" by Daniel CavicchiWikipediaMassachusetts Historical SocietyPromoSuper Sorry - Have you ever watched a Marvel movie and thought, "Wow, somebody really owes somebody an apology?"

Revisiting one MCU movie at a time, Super Sorry hosts Amber and Todd break down who should have apologized, who deserved an apology, and imagine the conversations that could have happened. They also explore the emotional, physical, and financial fallout of superhero action, from damaged relationships to city-wide destruction and billion-dollar cleanup efforts.

    This episode, we bring you two gems of a sort: Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes play The Crown Diamond and its short story equivalent ‘The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone' (both 1921). You can read the play here and the story here. The show notes will be available at https://bit.ly/DOD77sn (for all show notes, just replace ‘77' with the episode number in question). The episode will shortly be posted to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@doingsofdoyle. Please like and subscribe. Synopsis of the short story Following his departure from Baker Street, Dr Watson, although busy with his medical practice, decides to call upon his old friend, Sherlock Holmes. Holmes's page, Billy, informs the doctor that the over-worked detective is actually asleep in his room, although curiously there is a life-size wax dummy of his old friend positioned by the sitting room window. In the midst of this odd scenario, Holmes appears to explain that he is investigating a baffling and perilous case involving the disappearance of one of the crown jewels, the famed Mazarin stone. At this point, Holmes's principal suspect, Count Negretto Silvius, calls at Baker Street and Watson is hastily dispatched to fetch Inspector Youghal from Scotland Yard. In the meantime, Holmes proposes to detain the elegant and dangerous jewel thief himself… Next time on Doings of Doyle… We begin our exploration of Conan Doyle's breakthrough novel, Micah Clarke.

    CRIMINAL MISCHIEF A Scandal in Bohemia A Dramatic Reading by Carolyn Ossorio This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio trades police reports, crime scenes and courtroom testimony for gaslit streets, royal secrets and the fog-shrouded world of 221B Baker Street. Settle in for a special dramatic reading of “A Scandal in Bohemia,” Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes story and the unforgettable introduction of Irene Adler. When a mysterious masked visitor arrives at Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes finds himself drawn into an exceedingly delicate problem. A powerful European king is preparing to marry, but somewhere in London exists a photograph capable of destroying the match—and perhaps considerably more. The photograph belongs to Irene Adler, an American opera singer and former lover who has absolutely no intention of surrendering it. Holmes accepts the challenge with his customary confidence. There will be surveillance, disguises, deception and an elaborate trap designed to reveal exactly where Adler has hidden the evidence. There is only one problem. Irene Adler is playing the game, too. First published in 1891, “A Scandal in Bohemia” endures because Doyle does something remarkable with the Sherlock Holmes formula: he gives the world's most famous detective an adversary capable of seeing the board every bit as clearly as he does. This isn't a tale of grisly murder or elaborate violence. Its weapons are intelligence, observation, manipulation and the dangerous assumption that you've already figured out the person standing across from you. And for Holmes, Irene Adler will forever become simply: “The Woman.” Turn down the lights and join Carolyn for a journey into Victorian London and one of the most celebrated adventures in the Sherlock Holmes canon.

Dick Powell stars as the wisecracking former cop turned private eye, this time sitting a formal licensing exam alongside every other private investigator in the city. It should be routine, until the staged corpse in the training exercise turns out to be a real one, and Diamond has to solve a murder from inside the exam room itself. Then we visit The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez," broadcast 12 February 1940, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson. Professor Coram's secretary is found stabbed to death in a locked study at Yoxley Old Place, his dying words pointing only to "the professor." The single clue left behind is a pair of golden pince-nez, and from that alone, Holmes builds one of his most purely deductive solutions in the entire canon.

This week on The Devil's Ledger, we surrender to the heat and turn our attention toward masked lunatics, black-eyed children, Victorian blackmail, spectacular fraud, and another trip into a supernatural dimension that desperately needs better lighting. We begin with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Chucky Mask Spree. Philadelphia police say a masked man targeted at least half a dozen people during a bizarre early-morning spree, including a 40-year-old jogger whom he allegedly chased after asking whether she was ready to die. Surveillance cameras captured the suspect wearing a Chucky-style doll mask—and investigators noticed that beneath it he appeared to be wearing another black face covering. Fictional monsters are considerably less entertaining when someone decides to wear their face in the real world.

    This episode addresses the history, decline, and modern revival of Bartitsu, an eclectic system developed in Edwardian England by Edward Barton-Wright that combines Japanese jiu-jitsu with other styles such as savate. Made famous by Barton-Wright through appearances on the musical stage, the system was marketed first to upper-class and then to middle-class men and women as a means of protecting themselves from the (real or imagined) threat of hooliganism. After Barton-Wright's club closed, bartitsu gained a second wave of fame due to its inclusion in a Sherlock Holmes novel. In this conversation, Tony discusses his personal martial-arts journey, development of the Wolf System, and his efforts to study and document the history of bartitsu.

    Constantine the Great claimed a divine sign appeared before one of the most important battles in Roman history. Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, became convinced that the dead could communicate through mediums. Victor Hugo spent years taking part in séances where the supposed speakers included his dead daughter, Shakespeare, Jesus, Death, and even the Ocean. John Dee, mathematician and adviser to Queen Elizabeth I, recorded hundreds of attempts to communicate with angels. Emanuel Swedenborg went even further, claiming that for decades he could speak directly with spirits, angels, the dead, and beings connected with other worlds.In this episode of Idiot Mystic, we look at five historically important people who believed they had made contact with intelligence beyond the ordinary human mind.What did Constantine actually see before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge? Why did one of the most famous detective writers in history become such a devoted believer in Spiritualism? Who, or what, was speaking through Victor Hugo's table? Were John Dee's angels genuine beings, the work of Edward Kelley, or something stranger? And what happened to Emanuel Swedenborg when a respected scientist suddenly began claiming that heaven itself had opened to him?As usual, we look at the original claims, the historical records, the skeptical explanations, and the parts that remain difficult to explain.These stories include religious visions, communication with the dead, automatic writing, angelic languages, séances, altered states, possible fraud, grief, intuition, and some of the most elaborate claims of non-human intelligence ever made by respected historical figures.Maybe these people encountered God, spirits, angels, unconscious parts of their own minds, or something we still do not have a good name for.Whatever the answer, they listened.And what they heard changed their lives.Website: https://idiotmystic.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/idiotmysticTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@idiotmysticDiscord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMListen to Idiot Mystic on YouTube and Spotify for more strange history, spirituality, psychology, mysticism, paranormal encounters, and attempts to understand the parts of reality that refuse to behave normally.Take care of yourself, please.

    Killer Innovations: Successful Innovators Talking About Creativity, Design and Innovation | Hosted by Phil McKinney

    Sherlock Holmes never once used deduction.   Open any of the stories and watch what he actually does. He notices a tan line on a wrist or mud dried on a boot and leaps to the best-fitting explanation. Then he went looking for evidence. Deduction guarantees its conclusions. What Holmes did was guess. He was better at it than everyone around him because he treated guessing as a discipline.   The discipline of guessing is one of the most useful thinking skills nobody ever taught you.   Let's get into it. What Is Abductive Reasoning? There are three kinds of reasoning. School taught you two of them.   Deduction moves from a general rule to a specific conclusion. For example, all mammals have hearts. Dogs are mammals. So dogs have hearts. If the starting statements are true, the conclusion must be true.   Induction goes the other way, from specific observations to a general pattern. For example, if you see a thousand white swans, you conclude all swans are white. Probably right, but never guaranteed. Europeans believed exactly that until they reached Australia and found black swans. I covered both in an earlier episode on logical reasoning skills.   Abduction is the third kind, the one school skipped, and it runs reasoning backward. You start at the far end, with the result or fact in front of you, then you work back to whatever would explain it. For example, the lawn is wet at six in the morning. You didn't see it rain, and nothing rules out a broken sprinkler. But rain explains it best, so you accept it for now and get on with your day.   Notice that you did that without deciding to. You are running abductive reasoning constantly, on faces and sales numbers and to explain the silence after you finish talking in a meeting. We all leap from evidence to an explanation and then treat the explanation as fact. You already know how to do this. What you don't have is the habit of catching yourself at it and doing it deliberately when it matters.   Now go back to Holmes. In A Study in Scarlet, the first thing he ever does on the page is shake hands with a stranger and say, "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." Holmes explains it later. The man had a medical look but a soldier's bearing. His face was dark, but his wrists were fair, so the tan came from somewhere hot. His left arm hung stiffly, so it had been injured. None of those clues proves anything on its own. Holmes asked which single story would cover them all: an army doctor, wounded and sent home from the Afghan war. That is abduction, not deduction, and Conan Doyle used the wrong word for it his entire career. Why AI Can't Do Abductive Reasoning Abduction is the only one of the three that creates a new idea. Deduction draws out what was already inside the starting statements, and induction stretches a pattern you already saw. That difference used to be a philosopher's distinction. It matters now because AI has gotten very good at the other two. AI finds patterns in billions of examples and extends them, induction at a scale no human can match. What it cannot reliably do is face a fact that fits no pattern and come up with an explanation worth betting on. That leap is still uniquely human, and the people who make it well are getting more valuable every year.   Meanwhile, abduction as a skill is getting harder to keep, because search engines and chatbots now answer most questions in under a minute, and abduction doesn't work that way. It asks you to live with "probably" for a while, holding an answer you know might be wrong and working anyway. How to Improve Your Abductive Reasoning Skills None of this is a talent you either have or don't have. Watch a good doctor or a talented designer at work, and you will see the same four moves. Each one can be practiced. 1. Notice What Doesn't Fit In 1847, a Hungarian doctor named Ignaz Semmelweis ran a maternity clinic in Vienna. It had two wards, one staffed by doctors and one by midwives, and in the doctors' ward new mothers were dying of fever at three times the rate. Some women gave birth in the street rather than be admitted, and the street births survived at a better rate.   Everyone was ignoring the numbers. Semmelweis treated the numbers as the question. What could explain the best-trained people in the hospital losing the most patients? His answer came when a colleague cut his finger during an autopsy and died of the same fever. Doctors went from dissecting corpses straight to delivering babies. Midwives never touched corpses. He ordered handwashing in chlorine, and the deaths collapsed decades before anyone had heard of germ theory.   Charles Sanders Peirce, the philosopher who gave the skill its name, built that noticing into his own definition of abduction. The surprising fact is observed, he wrote, and only then does the search for an explanation begin. When something fits what you already believe, we accept it without noticing. Surprise is the alarm that the automatic version has failed. It means the failure that matters happens before any of the reasoning starts. The risk is that you cannot explain a surprise you never see. We have spent years learning to rationalize them away.   When reality does something you didn't predict, write it down before you talk yourself out of it. 2. Generate More Than One Explanation Last week I told you about the chrome-looking keyboard snafu. An HP laptop was running below plan, and none of the data would say why. Before anybody knew about the keyboard, I asked the product team what they thought was happening.   I got three answers. It needs more memory. It needs a bigger hard drive. It needs longer battery life. Each one arrived with a competitor's machine held up beside ours. That one has more memory. That one has the bigger drive. Every comparison was accurate, and each one had been picked because it supported the answer.   Three explanations sounded like the work was done. All three said the same thing: that we were losing on specifications, which is what the team was already organized to believe. None of the explanations would have sent someone into a store on a Saturday to watch a customer make the purchase decision.   So when you catch a genuine surprise, run it through this sequence instead:   State the surprise in one sentence. "Sales dropped 15% in a quarter when we improved the product." If you can't state it cleanly, you don't yet know what you're explaining. Force at least three explanations. The third is usually where the thinking starts, because the first two are the ones everybody already believes. Include one explanation you don't want to be true. If every explanation on your list flatters you and your team, the list isn't finished. Write down what each explanation would predict. If A is true, what else should you be able to see? That turns a guess into something you can check. 3. Choose the Best Explanation, Not the First One Philosophers call abduction "inference to the best explanation," and the key word is "best." Best doesn't mean first, and it rarely means the cleverest.   The one you want covers the most facts while assuming the least. Then, before you commit, decide what evidence would make you drop it. A doctor hearing chest pain does this out loud, ruling out the dangerous explanation first even when she expects it to be something ordinary. 4. Hold It Loosely and Test It Cheaply The best explanation is still a bet, nothing stronger. The moment you forget the word "bet," the skill starts working against you. Many will make a sharp abductive leap, fall in love with it, and then spend six months protecting it instead of testing it.   Designers handle this better than almost anyone. A prototype is an abductive test, the cheapest way to let the world argue with your guess before you commit real money. Whatever your field, find your version of the prototype. Good innovators are wrong as often as everyone else. They just find out sooner, and it costs them less.  Try This Before Friday Think of the last thing at work that went differently than you expected. A deal that died, a number that moved the wrong way, a good person who quit. You already have an explanation for it. Notice how fast it came. Somebody asked what happened, and you had an answer before they finished the question, and everyone nodded, because it was reasonable, and reasonable answers end conversations.   Go back to it this week. Not to find out whether you were right, because you were probably close enough. Go back because two other explanations fit those same facts and you never considered either one. Find them, and make one something you would rather not be true.   Then find the smallest test that would tell them apart. A phone call. One question to somebody who was in the room. It is almost never expensive, and that is the part worth sitting with, because it means the answer has been sitting there the whole time and nobody went and got it. Conclusion Abductive reasoning is how new ideas enter the world, and Holmes made a career of it under the wrong name. The more leaps you make and test, the sharper the next one gets.

    We start with a little baseball nostalgia and somehow ends with us debating whether a man would trade a live rattlesnake for chicken tenders—which, honestly, is a pretty accurate summary of the intellectual journey you've signed up for with this funny podcast.The crew kicks things off after learning Daryl Strawberry was spotted in the stands shaking hands with an old teammate, which naturally gets everybody talking baseball, Strawberry's career, and his St. Louis-area connection. From there, we smoothly transition—as only a professional broadcasting operation like ours can—into one of the most stressful decisions a parent can make: where the heck is your kid going to college?Rizz is getting ready to hit the road for Fayetteville and is making a strong sales pitch for the University of Arkansas. Moon brings his own college-tour experience to the table, including some serious love for Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama campus. Rafe weighs in on Fayetteville, Madison, Laramie and more as the guys break down a ranking of the best college towns in America.Ann Arbor takes the top spot, but that doesn't stop the crew from debating Arizona State, Virginia, Florida, Florida State, Wisconsin, Berkeley, Purdue, Wyoming and Illinois. There are beautiful campuses, brutal winters, business schools, Walmart money and the eternal parental dream of convincing your kid that the school YOU like is obviously the school THEY should like. Parenting!Then we arrive in Florida.And things immediately get stupid.It's time for Fake News or Florida, the game where contestants have to decide whether a ridiculous headline actually happened in Florida or whether the show made it up. The problem is that writing fake Florida headlines is nearly impossible because actual Florida keeps producing material that sounds like it was written by three raccoons sharing a laptop.Was a woman dressed as a hot dog arrested after covering a neighbor's car in toilet paper? Did police arrest Chuck E. Cheese while he was still in costume? Did someone throw an alligator through a drive-thru window? Did a guy in a Batman onesie detain a burglary suspect? Could a 300-pound feral hog interrupt somebody doing a crossword puzzle? And, most importantly, how much faith should anyone place in Moon as a lifeline?The answers become increasingly concerning.We also encounter a runaway kangaroo, a rainbow-painted manatee statue, a man hiding a gun under silicone breasts, a burglar with a live ferret stuffed down his pants, hundreds of mysteriously delivered shower curtains and the possibility of a rattlesnake-for-chicken-tenders barter economy.Moon spends much of the game carefully analyzing every detail, constructing thoughtful arguments and then discovering that Florida does not recognize the laws of logic. It's like watching Sherlock Holmes investigate a gas-station parking lot at 2 a.m.This funny podcast packs baseball talk, college-town arguments, listener chaos, bizarre headlines, St. Louis humor and enough Florida news to make you wonder whether the state should simply start issuing press releases titled, “You're Not Going To Believe This One Either.”It's another episode of The Rizzuto Show where celebrity and sports talk collide with weird news, sarcastic humor and the kind of daily comedy that probably shouldn't count as educational—but technically you will learn several things.Mostly about ferrets.Come for Daryl Strawberry and the college debate.
