There is a shift happening in the complex world of proof. Simulation and probabilistic approaches are increasingly accepted as ‘good enough' in areas traditionally dominated by exact proofs. Persuasion depends on the degree of certainty needed.Adam Kucharski is a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and also the author of three books, Proof: The Art and Science of Certainty, The Rules of Contagion: Why Things Spread--And Why They Stop, and The Perfect Bet: How Science and Math Are Taking the Luck Out of Gambling.Greg and Adam discuss the versatile concept of 'proof', examining how it applies differently across mathematics, law, medicine, and practical decision-making. Adam discusses the challenges of proving concepts under uncertainty, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the role of intuition versus formal modeling in various fields. They also explore the crossover of epidemiological principles into finance, marketing, cybersecurity, and online content dynamics, illustrating the universal relevance of contagion theories. The episode highlights how simulation and probabilistic approaches are increasingly accepted in areas traditionally dominated by exact proofs.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The gap between science and policy09:25: One of the challenges we had in COVID is this dimension of a problem where all directions had a lot of enormous downsides, and countries were having to make that under pressure. And even one of the things that I think I did not really appreciate at the time was, even later in the year, when a lot of these questions about the severity, a lot of these questions about transmission, had really been resolved because we had much better data. We still had a lot of this tension demanding, "Oh, we cannot be sure about something," or "You know, we need much, much higher evidence." And I think that is the gap between where kind of science lies and where policy lies.It's not the content, it's the contagion37:59: I think a lot of people think about the content, but obviously it is not just, "It is something goes viral." It is not just about the content. It is not about what you have written; it is about the network through which it is spreading. It is about the susceptibility of that network. It is about the medium you use. Do you have it that lingers somewhere? Is it just something you stick on the feed and it kind of vanishes? So, there is a direct analogy there with the different elements and how they trade off in ultimately what you see in terms of spread.What human networks can't teach us about machines46:35: One thing that is really interesting about computer systems is the variation in contacts you see in the network is enormous. You basically get some hubs that are just connected to a huge number of computers, and some are connected to very few at all. So that makes the transmission much burster.It is not like—so humans have some variation in their contacts—but most people have about 10 contacts a day, in terms of conversations or people they exchange words with. Some more, some less, but you do not have people generally have like 10,000 contacts in a day, whereas in computers you can have that. So it makes the potential for some things to actually persist at quite low levels for quite a long time because it will kind of hit this application and then simmer along, and then hit another one and simmer along.Show Links:Recommended Resources:EuclidGeorge E.

It's Glastonbury weekend, and we're back with the Big Questions.Not a sentence we expected to be saying on No Tags, but we kick off by talking about Will Smith – specifically his recent appearance with London streamer du jour DJ AG. The Fresh Prince is in the middle of a generationally cringe promo run and we've been wanting to discuss AG's streams for a while now, so these two forces colliding over a dubstep remix of the Men in Black theme felt like the perfect opportunity.If you're looking for something more high-brow, well, you still have to get through Tom's full review of the Cooper's Hill Cheese Roll – aka Final Destination: Cotswolds. Once we're through that, it's onto higher ground, debriefing recent experiences at Polyphonic Eating with Yu Su, Warp Records' ‘happening' at The Barbican and a No Tags night out at Corsica for Hodge and Peverelist.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is important for health professions students, but advanced practice nursing students often lack opportunities to practice interprofessional care in ambulatory scenarios. A team of health professions educators designed an interprofessional simulation focused on the ambulatory care setting and implemented it with health science students at a large midwestern university. Family and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner students, along with students from undergraduate nursing, medicine, pharmacy, audiology, dental hygiene, social work, and physical therapy, participated in the virtual interprofessional simulation. In this podcast, Dr. Lisa Rohrig describes the simulation, its development, and the outcomes. The authors provide more detail in their article.

Many of the most loyal, dedicated men often find themselves confused when their relationships struggle despite genuinely wanting them to succeed.In this eye-opening episode of "So You're Living in a Simulation," Joli (@joli.artist) shares a fascinating pattern she discovered while reading veteran memoirs that reveals something profound about how we're all programmed to approach love.Men are taught to see women as "base camp" - the safe retreat you return to for rest and healing. But what if she's supposed to be your "battle buddy" instead - an equal partner fighting life's battles right alongside you?"Life is a battlefield for all of us. But while men are trained to see it that way, women are thrown into it without the training - yet we're still here, taking hits right alongside you."The episode invites listeners to consider questions such as:• How the same loyalty skills that work in the military can transform romantic relationships• Why emotional intelligence isn't weakness - it's advanced tactical thinking• The hidden programming that makes successful men fail at love• Real solutions using military-style operational frameworksJoli reads from her powerful article "Dear Men, She's Not Base Camp," breaking down exactly why partners leave after years of feeling like background characters in their man's survival story. But this isn't just criticism - it's a blueprint for change."You know how to assess risk, scan for threats, and triage under fire. So let's run the same framework in your relationship."The breakthrough insight: Men already possess all the skills needed for deep intimacy - they just haven't been taught to deploy them domestically. Using combat metaphors throughout, Joli shows how emotional support is actually advanced tactical operations, and why treating your partner's pain as "real intel" changes everything.For veterans and civilians alike, this episode offers a path from emotional isolation to true partnership, because if you can handle a battlefield, you can definitely handle a relationship. You just need the right operational manual.Article: Dear Men, She's Not Base Camp; She's on the Battlefield Too.https://medium.com/@joli.artist/dear-men-shes-not-base-camp-she-s-on-the-battlefield-too-24000e470f21youroneblackfriend.com•••Timestamps:00:00 Introduction: Veterans and the simulation awakening03:40 The warrior class in a dystopian society07:13 Deep dive into veteran memoirs and war psychology10:58 The intentional cycle: trauma to reenlistment14:54 The recurring pattern: warriors abandoned by love21:05 Article reading: "Dear Men, She's Not Base Camp"42:51 Reclaiming your life after being weaponized•••Key Explored Questions:What's the difference between base camp and battle buddy mentality?Why do men treat male friends differently from female partners?How to respond when your partner is emotionally distressed?How to apply tactical thinking to love and partnership?Why do veterans struggle with civilian relationship adjustment?What does operational respect mean in relationships?How to break free from toxic relationship programming?•••#relationships #veterans #ptsd

Josh Sigurdson reports on the continued normalization and push for plandemic style restrictions as DARPA discusses a new pandemic simulation, though little is know of the magnitude of the simulation. We all remember Event 201 right? Meanwhile, this comes as more fearmongering is spread by the media and the government regarding warnings from China as they describe a "new strain" of so-called "Covid" spreading throughout the country and perhaps internationally which they call "Razor Blade Throat." There is a clear attempt by the establishment to roll out new plandemic restrictions in order to have yet another open path towards digital IDs and social credit scores. From Bird Flu to Measles, from Monkey Pox to the so-called return of "Covid." All of this is entirely absurd but they need as many crises as possible. Meanwhile the FDA is fast tracking new deadly Self Amplifying mRNA vaccines for Bird Flu, injecting cows and forcing Meningococcal vaccines in infants without any placebo controlled trials despite research showing serious dangers. And in the spirit of digital IDs, New Jersey is proposing a vaccine registry to track and trace people who have and have not gotten certain injections. Isn't the agenda obvious by now? While people sit on their hands waiting for RFK Jr who was approved by a pharma funded house to bring down big pharma, the shadow government continues to perpetuate the dangers that will bring the world to its knees.

I, Stewart Alsop, welcomed Ben Roper, CEO and founder of Play Culture, to this episode of Crazy Wisdom for a fascinating discussion. We kicked things off by diving into Ben's reservations about AI, particularly its impact on creative authenticity, before exploring his innovative project, Play Culture, which aims to bring tactical outdoor games to adults. Ben also shared his journey of teaching himself to code and his philosophy on building experiences centered on human connection rather than pure profit.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:55 Ben Roper on AI's impact on creative authenticity and the dilution of the author's experience.03:05 The discussion on AI leading to a "simulation of experience" versus genuine, embodied experiences.08:40 Stewart Alsop explores the nuances of authenticity, honesty, and trust in media and personal interactions.17:53 Ben discusses how trust is invaluable and often broken by corporate attempts to feign it.20:22 Ben begins to explain the Play Culture project, discussing the community's confusion about its non-monetized approach, leading into his philosophy of "designing for people, not money."37:08 Ben elaborates on the Play Culture experience: creating tactical outdoor games designed specifically for adults.45:46 A comparison of Play Culture's approach with games like Pokémon GO, emphasizing "gentle technology."58:48 Ben shares his thoughts on the future of augmented reality and designing humanistic experiences.1:02:15 Ben describes "Pirate Gold," a real-world role-playing pirate simulator, as an example of Play Culture's innovative games.1:06:30 How to find Play Culture and get involved in their events worldwide.Key InsightsAI and Creative Authenticity: Ben, coming from a filmmaking background, views generative AI as a collaborator without a mind, which disassociates work from the author's unique experience. He believes art's value lies in being a window into an individual's life, a quality diluted by AI's averaged output.Simulation vs. Real Experience: We discussed how AI and even some modern technologies offer simulations of experiences (like VR travel or social media connections) that lack the depth and richness of real-world engagement. These simulations can be easier to access but may leave individuals unfulfilled and unaware of what they're missing.The Quest for Honesty Over Authenticity: I posited that while people claim to want authenticity, they might actually desire honesty more. Raw, unfiltered authenticity can be confronting, whereas honesty within a framework of trust allows for genuine connection without necessarily exposing every raw emotion.Trust as Unpurchasable Value: Ben emphasized that trust is one of the few things that cannot be bought; it must be earned and is easily broken. This makes genuine trust incredibly valuable, especially in a world where corporate entities often feign trustworthiness for transactional purposes.Designing for People, Not Money: Ben shared his philosophy behind Play Culture, which is to "design for people, not money." This means prioritizing genuine human experience, joy, and connection over optimizing for profit, believing that true value, including financial sustainability, can arise as a byproduct of creating something meaningful.The Need for Adult Play: Play Culture aims to fill a void by creating tactical outdoor games specifically designed for adult minds and social dynamics. This goes beyond childlike play or existing adult games like video games and sports, focusing on socially driven gameplay, strategy, and unique adult experiences.Gentle Technology in Gaming: Contrasting with AR-heavy games like Pokémon GO, Play Culture advocates for "gentle technology." The tech (like a mobile app) supports gameplay by providing information or connecting players, but the core interaction happens through players' senses and real-world engagement, not primarily through a screen.Real-World Game Streaming as the Future: Ben's vision for Play Culture includes moving towards real-world game streaming, akin to video game streaming on Twitch, but featuring live-action tactical games played in real cities. This aims to create a new genre of entertainment showcasing genuine human interaction and strategy.Contact Information* Ben Roper's Instagram* Website: playculture.com

The difference between forceps (which look like fancy salad tongs) and vacuum devices (like the KiwiVac) was explained—with forceps generally having a higher risk for maternal tearing, while vacuums can be safer for the mother but have their own set of risks for baby. Forceps use is becoming rare in the US, and many younger doctors are not trained in both tools; most providers specialize in one over the other. The vacuum method, such as the KiwiVac, doesn't just involve pulling—the device helps rotate and flex the baby's head to ease passage through the pelvis, working in tandem with the mother's pushing effort. Not every provider can use both vacuums and forceps, and midwives in the US generally use vacuums regionally; outside the US, like in Europe, midwives may use vacuums more routinely. Assisted deliveries make up less than 5% of births, so most people will not need them, but knowing about the process can reduce fear if the situation arises. Before offering assisted delivery, doctors must ensure the baby is low enough, the mother's pelvis is adequate, and water is broken—these tools can't compensate for a truly “stuck” baby or incomplete dilation. Vacuums and sometimes forceps can even be used during C-sections if the baby is deeply engaged or in an awkward position, to help bring the baby up through the uterine incision. Consent and clear communication are vital—sometimes decisions have to be made quickly, so it helps when patients have discussed these possibilities in advance with their providers. The episode emphasized not to fear assisted deliveries—they're tools to reduce C-sections and make births safer when used by skilled, well-trained professionals, and advances like the KiwiVac improve outcomes for both moms and babies.

What if everything we think about gender is wrong? In this episode of "So You're Living in a Simulation" , @JoliArtist makes the case that "male" doesn't actually exist—it's just a performance we've all agreed to believe in.Starting with biology (we all begin as female fetuses), Joli walks us through how society trains people with certain body parts to suppress emotions and avoid anything coded as "feminine." The result? A male loneliness epidemic where men can only express feelings through alcohol or sports. "You live that for 70 years and you wonder why the suicide rates in this country are sky-high."Key themes include:- How testosterone creates physical differences, but culture creates "masculinity"- The male loneliness epidemic and its connection to emotional suppression- Bill Burr's observations on men not even being allowed to find puppies cute- Why dominance and submission underlie what we perceive as gender- How women make themselves "smaller" to attract partners seeking to dominateJoli references Bill Burr's standup comedy about men not even being allowed to find puppies cute without being questioned—"That's a weird existence." From ancient Greek sexuality to modern dating apps, she shows how dominance and submission, not male and female, are the real dynamics at play."Control isn't love. Dominance isn't love. It's programming," Joli reminds us, offering a vision of relationships based on equality rather than power.Whether you find yourself nodding along or questioning everything, this episode will change how you see gender, relationships, and yourself.youroneblackfriend.com•••Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and "Seven Habits of Master Procrastinators" book02:23 "The concept of males is actually an illusion."07:24 "Men are essentially socialized."
