This is a rather long episode, running at just about one hour. The Guangxi Massacre is one of those dark chapters from the Cultural Revolution. Down in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, it was particularly dark. I was listening to Stanford Professor of Anthropology Andrew G. Walder on the New Books Network discussing his 2023 book covering this topic. That gave me the initial inspiration. Dr. Walder's book and a few others are very disturbing to read. I didn't dwell on some of the more gory and grotesque parts of this story. Hoowever, the books are all rather free with their descriptions of some of the atrocities committed. There's one excerpt I did include in the Patreon and CHP Premium audio. But I won't be including it in the regular CHP feed. This episode is particularly interesting because it involves a province other than the usual suspects along the coast. And it stars Wei Guoqing 韦国清, someone I'm guessing doesn't ring a bell. Let me know what you think. This was a painful episode to research and present.   Suggested Reading: Zheng Yi, “Scarlet Memorial: Tales Of Cannibalism In Modern China  https://a.co/d/89TkvH6 Andrew G.

Dr. Anna Lembke is a Stanford Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University's School of Medicine. Her latest book, Dopamine Nation, is a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into 30 languages. It examines the effects of being surrounded by abundant sources of instant gratification, such as food, social media, gaming, pornography, and drugs. Anna combines the neuroscience of addiction with the wisdom of recovery to explore the problem of compulsive overconsumption in a dopamine-overloaded world. In this episode we discuss the following: Anna learned from her patients in addiction recovery that if they wanted to maintain their recovery, they couldn't tell a single lie. One of the reasons lying hurts ourselves and others is because it denies us access to reality, which of course makes it more difficult to deal with reality. Radical honesty applies to more aspects of life than we may realize. For example, Anna is able to reduce her anxiety before interviews by being radically honest with herself and remembering that she doesn't have to be all things to all people, she doesn't have to be anything more than she already is.   Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@nate.meikle

PREVIEW - AI:-DEEPSEEK:  STANFORD Professor John Cochrane of Hoover remarks on how AI technologies are  quickly discounted In pricing and made widely available. MORE TONIGHT. 1955

Chris Anderson can't talk a lot about what he is up to these days. At least on camera. His LinkedIn profile says he's currently an Engineer at “Stealth". Prior to this current professional opacity, he was at Kitty Hawk, the electric aircraft maker founded by Sebastian Thrun (legendary Stanford Professor and former lead of Google's self-driving car team that led to Waymo) and backed by Google Co-founder, Larry Page. I became familiar with Chris while he was leading Wired Magazine as Editor-in-Chief. His work there was groundbreaking and set much of the pace, tone, and agenda for the early days of Web 2.0 and the Maker movement. After seeing a TedX talk about a side hustle he had selling cellophane bags of electrical parts and open source autopilots for DIY Drones I slid into his DM's.There is a lot of buzz around drones today, but note the date on that DM — November 3rd, 2010. Little did I know at the time, that this little drone business was just beginning to grow from Chris and his kids packing orders at their dinner table to a proper manufacturing and distribution center along the border of Mexico. As things happened, that DM turned into a conversation that turned into an investment in a company, 3D Robotics, that took Chris away from Wired and into the uncharted worlds of manufacturing, consumer hardware, and defense tech. He was early and 3DR didn't play out the way that we'd all hoped but it laid the foundations for much of what he's working on now — even though he can't talk much about that publicly.To say Chris has a knack for living in the future would be a massive understatement. In this conversation we unpack his process for exploring possible futures — spoiler: Chris has started writing science fiction as a way to explore complex technological implications. He writes a book a month, using fiction as a computational tool to play out scenarios with artificial agents and see where they lead. We get into what he got right and what he got wrong about drones specifically and defense tech more broadly. And we discuss the culture of Silicon Valley, where we spar a bit on the amount of waste and wandering built into the system that ultimately leads to so many unexpected breakthroughs. Since that first DM, he has become a dear friend, coconspirator, and sounding board for me. The unedited conversation here went on for nearly 3 hours (which reminds me that we really do need an “indie uncut” channel) but that's the kind of person Chris is — generous in sharing his time, ideas, and insights. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this one.

An audio overview of the latest issue of PR Futurist. For the full stories subscribe to PR Futurist. We're all looking forward to see what 2025 will bring. In our New Year issue of PR Futurist we've got news about the World Communication Forum in Davos and new awards for independent PR practitioners. There's also lots of AI news from the AI minister explaining her ambitions for how the UK can benefit from AI to consultation on copyright law to modernise it for the AI age and a consultation on how NHS communicators should be using AI. We've also got case studies and examples of AI in the wild from a US school using AI to replace teachers, to MPs using it support their work and a council expanding its use of Microsoft 365 Copilot. There's also a fascinating report on how AI influences reputation. It's something we've been working on since the launch of ChatGPT two years ago, but most of the PR industry still hasn't considered properly. The new research is more evidence they should. And finally there is a story about a Stanford University professor who didn't check the output of his AI and provided fake citation as evidence in a court case. Read the story to find the ironic twist to the tale.

This week, STT chats with Stanford Professor, Fullpower AI medical advisor, and founder of Sleep and Brain, Anil Rama MD. Dr Rama brings a concierge approach to sleep disordered breathing and sleep apnea with the thought that it is more than just a breathing disorder. Dr Rama keeps in mind that there is an underlying traumatic brain injury taking place with sleep disordered breathing and goes beyond simple stenting of the airway.

What does the future of remote work really look like? Recently, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy mandated that employees must return to the office 5 days a week. So did Elon Musk for employees of both Tesla and X, which made us wonder: Are our remote or hybrid roles going to go the way of the dodo sometime soon?  Nick Bloom, Stanford Professor of Economics weighs in on what the future holds for remote work, and how to get ahead in a remote or hybrid position.  CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction  07:00 The Future of Remote Work 17:30 Finding the Right Hybrid Work Balance 29:00 Advice for Employees Facing In-Person Mandates 44:00 Mailbag Question 1: What allocation is ideal between Roth and 401(k)? 50:00 Mailbag Question 2: I'm very risk-averse, have I saved enough to retire?  TAKEAWAYS: Remote work can enhance concentration but may hinder innovation. Hybrid work models can lead to increased job satisfaction and lower turnover rates. Employees should align their work-from-home preferences with their team's schedule. Remote work does not necessarily impact promotion opportunities if managed well. The future of work will likely involve more technology to facilitate remote collaboration.

Silicon Valley Entrepreneur and author Steve Blank thinks way outside the Washington DC beltway.  The Stanford Professor who teaches courses on lean start-ups, innovation and the art of entrepreneurship – also blogs regularly. It may not be a state secrets that one of his blogs published earlier this year about why large organizations struggle with disruption – and what to do about it – was a not-so-veiled reference to the pentagon. State Secrets host Suzanne Kelly sits down with Blank to talk about it.

There's no question we're living in difficult times that lead many of us to adopt a cynical outlook. But while cynicism might feel smart, science shows it's corrosive not only to our own wellbeing, but to society as a whole.

How your biology and environment make your decisions for you, according to Dr. Robert Sapolsky. Robert Sapolsky, PhD is an author, researcher, and professor of biology, neurology, and neurosurgery at Stanford University. In this interview with Big Think's Editor-in-Chief, Robert Chapman Smith, Sapolsky discusses the content of his most recent book, “Determined: The Science of Life Without Free Will.” Being held as a child, growing up in a collectivist culture, or experiencing any sort of brain trauma – among hundreds of other things – can shape your internal biases and ultimately influence the decisions you make. This, explains Sapolsky, means that free will is not – and never has been – real. Even physiological factors like hunger can discreetly influence decision making, as discovered in a study that found judges were more likely to grant parole after they had eaten. This insight is key for interpreting human behavior, helping not only scientists but those who aim to evolve education systems, mental health research, and even policy making. --------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Robert Sapolsky: Robert M.

Today, I am absolutely thrilled to have Professor Tony Wyss-Coray with us, a renowned expert from Stanford University who is revolutionizing our understanding of aging. His groundbreaking research, which recently graced the cover of Nature magazine, reveals a fascinating concept: our organs each have their own "clocks" that offer insights into the aging process and help predict diseases like heart failure and Alzheimer's. This innovative approach stems from his study of blood proteins associated with different organs, highlighting that each organ ages at its own pace.In his lab, Professor Wyss-Coray and his team delve into the mysteries of brain aging, investigating why it leads to memory issues and conditions such as Alzheimer's. One of their most remarkable findings is the potential for young blood to rejuvenate older brains, suggesting a promising avenue for reversing some effects of aging. They employ a variety of scientific techniques to explore how our bodies communicate with our brains throughout our lives.But Professor Wyss-Coray's influence extends far beyond his lab. He has shared his pioneering discoveries on prestigious platforms such as TED talks and the World Economic Forum, earning recognition in Time Magazine's list of people transforming healthcare. His entrepreneurial spirit has also led him to found companies dedicated to tackling brain diseases, and his contributions to science have been honored with numerous awards.In our discussion today, we aim to unpack Professor Wyss-Coray's recent discoveries in an accessible manner, exploring their significance for the future of aging research and what they could mean for our understanding of how to maintain health as we age. We'll also discuss the impact of exercise on reversing aging and dive into more tips and interesting points about keeping our bodies and brains healthy.Takeaways:Changes in the composition of blood can impact the brain and contribute to age-related diseases like Alzheimer's.Rejuvenation can be achieved through blood transfusion, with young blood having a positive effect on the brain and overall health.While the aging process cannot be completely reversed, it is possible to slow down aspects of aging and maintain good health until old age.Lifestyle factors, such as exercise and social connections, play a significant role in maintaining good health and slowing down the aging process.The future of aging research holds promise for developing treatments and interventions to improve health and extend a healthy lifespan.............More LinksFor Crina's Instagram click here!For Dream Again Podcast's Instagram click here!Don't Forget to Live Your Best Life Now

In today's leadership spark, I spoke with bestselling author and Stanford Graduate School of Business professor, Chip Heath, about the power of numbers in instigating change. The conversation revolves around the importance of providing comparative context to data for clearer understanding, rather than presenting standalone figures.  Chip emphasizes the pivotal role emotion plays in data interpretation. For immediate practical application, Chip suggests starting with the simplification and contextualization of a single data point in presentations. He illustrates this with the striking revenue comparison between the video game industry and Hollywood. The core takeaway is the ability of relatable and emotionally resonant numbers to drive change and inspire action.

In today's leadership spark, I chat with bestselling author and Stanford Graduate School of Business professor, Chip Heath, about the challenges and nuances of communicating with numbers and data. Chip underscores the difficulty people often face with fractions and percentages, as seen with A&W's marketing misstep against McDonald's.  Chip also mentions the "curse of knowledge", where expertise can cloud one's understanding of a novice's perspective. Throughout our conversation, we delved into the significance of making data relatable and meaningful. By converting abstract numbers into tangible concepts, like likening the number of preventable sepsis deaths to annual cancer diagnoses, data becomes not only more understandable but also emotionally resonant, effectively engaging and motivating audiences Chip Heath is one of the 100+ CEOs I interviewed for my new book, Leading With Vulnerability which is coming out in October: https://www.amazon.com/Leading-Vulnerability-Superpower-Transform-Organization/dp/1119895243/  __________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In today's leadership spark, I speak with Chip Heath, Professor at Stanford University and New York Times Best Selling Author. Chip discusses his motivations behind his latest book, "Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers."  He emphasizes the challenge most people face in understanding and communicating numbers effectively, as our brains naturally struggle with large numbers. By comparing unfamiliar figures to relatable concepts, people can better grasp and remember data. This skill of translating numbers into digestible information is crucial for both personal and professional decision-making and change initiatives.

with @alive_eth @danboneh @smc90This week's all-new episode covers the convergence of two important, very top-of-mind trends: AI (artificial intelligence) & blockchains/ crypto. These domains together have major implications for how we all live our lives everyday; so this episode is for anyone just curious about, or already building in the space. The conversation covers topics ranging from deep fakes, bots, and the need for proof-of-humanity in a world of AI; to big data, large language models like ChatGPT, user control, governance, privacy and security, zero knowledge and zkML; to MEV, media, art, and much more. Our expert guests (in conversation with host Sonal Chokshi) include: Dan Boneh, Stanford Professor (and Senior Research Advisor at a16z crypto), a cryptographer who's been working on blockchains for over a decade and who specializes in cryptography, computer security, and machine learning -- all of which intersect in this episode;Ali Yahya, general partner at a16z crypto, who also previously worked at Google -- where he not only worked on a distributed system for a fleet of robots (a sort of "collective reinforcement learning") but also worked on Google Brain, where he was one of the core contributors to the machine learning library TensorFlow built at Google.The first half of the hallway-style conversation between Ali & Dan (who go back together as student and professor at Stanford) is all about how AI could benefit from crypto, and the second half on how crypto could benefit from AI... the thread throughout is the tension between centralization vs. decentralization.  So we also discuss where the intersection of crypto and AI can bring about things that aren't possible by either one of them alone...pieces referenced in this episode/ related reading:The Next Cyber Reasoning System for Cyber Security (2023) by Mohamed Ferrag, Ammar Battah, Norbert Tihanyi, Merouane Debbah, Thierry Lestable, Lucas CordeiroA New Era in Software Security: Towards Self-Healing Software via Large Language Models and Formal Verification (2023) by  Yiannis Charalambous, Norbert Tihanyi, Ridhi Jain, Youcheng Sun, Mohamed Ferrag, Lucas CordeiroFixing Hardware Security Bugs with Large Language Models (2023) by Baleegh Ahmad, Shailja Thakur, Benjamin Tan, Ramesh Karri, Hammond PearceDo Users Write More Insecure Code with AI Assistants?
