حلقة جديدة من البودكاسترز مع د. طارق عبد العزيز فرج، خبير الصراعات النووية وقضايا الطاقة، في حوار مهم عن الطاقة النووية، تخصيب اليورانيوم، أزمة إيران النووية، القنابل الذرية والهيدروجينية، والردع النووي في العالم. بنتكلم في الحلقة عن واحد من أخطر وأهم الملفات في العالم: يعني إيه تخصيب يورانيوم؟ وإمتى الاستخدام السلمي للطاقة النووية ممكن يتحول لاستخدام عسكري؟ د. طارق بيشرح ببساطة مراحل التخصيب، وليه الوصول لنسبة 90% يعتبر مرحلة شديدة الخطورة، وإزاي الدول والوكالات الدولية بتراقب البرامج النووية السرية. الحوار كمان بيدخل في تفاصيل أزمة إيران النووية، ودور أمريكا في التصعيد، ومنشآت إيران النووية، والفرق بين الطاقة النووية السلمية والسلاح النووي. وبنرجع كمان لتاريخ الرعب النووي من قنبلة هيروشيما وناجازاكي، لحد القنبلة الهيدروجينية وأقوى قنبلة نووية في التاريخ، وفكرة الردع النووي وسباق التسلح العالمي. كمان د. طارق بيحكي عن دراسة الهندسة النووية في مصر، وتجربته الشخصية من العلوم للإعلام النووي، ومسيرته بين الفن وأبحاث الصراعات النووية. وفي نهاية الحلقة، بنطرح سؤال مهم: هل مصر آمنة نوويًا؟ وإيه اللي بيخلّي ملف الطاقة النووية محتاج وعي، علم، ومسؤولية كبيرة؟ A new episode of Elpodcasters with Dr. Tarek Abdel Aziz Farag, an expert in nuclear conflicts and energy issues, in an important conversation about nuclear energy, uranium enrichment, Iran's nuclear crisis, atomic and hydrogen bombs, and nuclear deterrence around the world. In this episode, we discuss one of the most dangerous and important topics in the world: What does uranium enrichment mean? And when can the peaceful use of nuclear energy turn into military use? Dr. Tarek explains the stages of enrichment in a simple way, why reaching 90% enrichment is considered extremely dangerous, and how countries and international agencies monitor secret nuclear programs. The conversation also goes into the details of Iran's nuclear crisis, America's role in the escalation, Iran's nuclear facilities, and the difference between peaceful nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. We also go back to the history of nuclear fear, from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs to the hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear bomb in history Dr. Tarek also talks about studying nuclear engineering in Egypt, his personal journey from science to nuclear media, and his career between art and nuclear conflict research. At the end of the episode, we ask an important question: Is Egypt safe from nuclear threats? And why does the nuclear energy file require awareness, knowledge, and great responsibility? ‎اسمعوا البودكاسترز على | Listen to El-Podcasters on Spotify - https://anchor.fm/elpodcasters Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/eg/podcast/el-podcasters/id1633419184 Anghami - https://play.anghami.com/podcast/1029463712 El-Podcasters Social Media | منصات التواصل الإجتماعي للبودكاسترز: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elpodcasters Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@elpodcasters Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/elpodcasters Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/elpodcasters/ X - https://www.twitter.com/elpodcasters Snapchat - https://snapchat.com/t/3Zbo2vzS Bassel Alzaro - https://www.instagram.com/basselalzaro https://www.facebook.com/BasselAlzaroX https://snapchat.com/t/CoWlatfk Karim Rihan - https://www.instagram.com/karimrihann Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I live in Berlin, and something very cool is happening here right now - the film collective Zelluloid42 has been programming film events that this town has sorely needed. In the spirit of the German "Bahnhofskino" (a grindhouse cinema located in or next to a train station, very popular in the 70s and 80s), Zelluloid42 gleefully shows exploitation, horror, and other wonderfully strange obscurities in 16mm & 35mm. I spoke with two collective members, Audrey and Tarek, about their work, German attitudes towards their own film heritage, what's next for them, and a whole lot more!Show Notes:Zelluloid 42⁠⁠Zelluloid 42 Instagram⁠Tarek's LetterboxdAudrey's LetterboxdFilmrauschpalast CinemaThe Evil Dead (1981)The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)Cannibal Holocaust (1980)Vampyros Lesbos (1971)Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972)ZeughauskinoDouglas SirkLumiere Film Festival in LyonIl Cinema Ritrovato Vinegar SyndromeSamm Deighan's PatreonBFIDuck, You Sucker!

#jesus #hoop In Markus 2 wird von vier Freunden berichtet, die einen Gelähmten zu Jesus bringen – entschlossen, kreativ und voller Glauben. Sie lassen sich nicht von Hindernissen aufhalten, sondern finden einen Weg, weil sie wissen: Dieser Mensch braucht Jesus. Ihre Geschichte zeigt, was es bedeutet, Hoffnung zu tragen – nicht nur selbst zu glauben, sondern andere zu Jesus zu bringen.Jesus begegnet dem Gelähmten tiefer, als erwartet: Er heilt nicht nur den Körper, sondern beginnt im Herzen. Genau darin liegt echte Hoffnung – eine, die ganzheitlich verändert. Gott gebraucht Menschen, um sein Werk zu tun. Die Frage ist nicht nur, wer Jesus für dich ist, sondern auch: Für wen kannst du ein Hoffnungsträger sein?

The Iran War has a second front in Lebanon, where Israel has been fighting Hezbollah, a militia that launched missiles into northern Israel in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader. Israel believes the group threatens its security and it is striking targets across Lebanon to stop it. Tarek Abou Jaoude, a research fellow specializing in Lebanese politics at Queen's University Belfast, unpacks the complex situation. And in headlines, President Donald Trump subjects toddlers to his boasts about the Iran War during the White House Easter Egg Roll, Trump gives Republicans a headache by endorsing a California gubernatorial candidate, and the Artemis II astronauts boldly travel farther than any humans have traveled before.Show Notes: Check out Tarek's writing on Hezbollah and Israelhttps://tinyurl.com/57jeb5wd Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Send us Fan MailIn this conversation, Ricardo Karam sits down with Lebanese academic and writer Tarek El-Ariss in a discussion that moves beyond personal biography to explore writing as an act of reflection and responsibility toward memory. From a childhood in war-time Beirut that shaped his early awareness, to the experience of exile that deepened his understanding of anxiety and estrangement, and finally to his academic journey at Dartmouth College where he reexamines the meaning of Arab modernity, a different intellectual path takes shape. The conversation approaches memory as it is lived rather than archived in history. El-Ariss reflects on the text as a space of exposure rather than mere expression, and on the impact of the digital age in shaping the “leaked self” between truth and scandal. In a reflective segment grounded in human language, he discusses how his book Water on Fire reconsiders war as a lasting psychological condition, and pauses to question what it means for culture to serve as a tool for understanding rather than an abstract luxury. Join Ricardo Karam and Tarek El-Ariss in a conversation that reflects on the meaning of writing, when language becomes more than expression, and questioning becomes the beginning of the path.في هذا الحديث، يجلس ريكاردو كرم مع الأكاديمي والكاتب اللبناني طارق العريس في لقاءٍ يتجاوز السيرة الشخصية ليدخل إلى جوهر الكتابة كفعل تأمّل ومسؤولية تجاه الذاكرة. من طفولةٍ عاشها في بيروت خلال الحرب الأهلية شكّلت وعيه المبكر، إلى تجربة المنفى التي عمّقت فهمه للقلق والاغتراب، وصولاً إلى مسيرته الأكاديمية في  Dartmouth College حيث أعاد مساءلة معنى الحداثة العربية، تتكوّن رحلة مختلفة في التفكير والكتابة. يتناول اللقاء الذاكرة كما يعيشها الإنسان لا كما تُؤرشف في التاريخ. يتحدث العريس عن رؤيته للنص كمساحة انكشاف لا كأداة تعبير، وعن أثر العصر الرقمي في تشكيل "الذات المسرَّبة" بين الحقيقة والفضيحة. وفي محور فكري بلغة إنسانية، يشرح كيف يعيد كتابه الماء على النار قراءة الحرب كأثرٍ نفسي طويل، ويتوقف عند معنى أن تكون الثقافة أداة فهم لا ترفاً فكرياً. انضموا إلى ريكاردو كرم وطارق العريس في لقاءٍ يتأمل معنى الكتابة، حين تصبح اللغة أكثر من تعبير، ويصبح السؤال بداية الطريق.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Many technology companies are built by people who create a solution for a nonexistent problem. SCAYLE was built by people who studied a problem and then lived it firsthand. For more than a decade, the team behind About You didn't just theorize about what enterprise ecommerce infrastructure should do—they built it, broke it, refined it, and scaled it inside their own business. They grew About You into a $3 billion online fashion retailer operating across 27 countries. By the time they launched SCAYLE as a standalone SaaS platform, they weren't selling a solution they imagined; they were offering a real solution to a real problem. In this episode, Haley Boehning, CEO of Storyforge, sits down with Tarek Müller, co-founder of About You and SCAYLE, to explore what it means to know your customer, not from the outside looking in, but from understanding exactly where they stand. They discuss what it takes to build something that works at scale. How one earns trust in a new market. What Tarek learned that no one else could have taught him. And what it requires to take that hard-won knowledge into a new market, build credibility and land Levi's as their first major U.S. partnership as its global ecommerce platform across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Tarek candidly shares his insights about how to achieve visibility in the crowded American marketplace, and how to succeed by competing against ecommerce platform solutions optimized for commoditized search, not genuine discovery. This is a conversation about what happens when your story and your solution are the same thing.For more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

The coaching industry is facing a brutal reality: everything that used to work is being replaced—fast. With AI now capable of delivering frameworks, strategies, and even “good questions” for $29/month, the bar has been raised beyond recognition. What's left isn't information. It's embodiment.In this unfiltered conversation, Kellan sits down with Beverly and Tarek to unpack what AI is really doing to coaching—and why most coaches won't survive unless they evolve.Key Takeaways:How AI is transforming coaching from tools to deep personal integrationWhy “average coaching” is being completely evisceratedThe difference between talking about something vs. living itHow AI helps develop your authentic voice—and exposes the lack of oneThe rise of “Super You”: building an AI-enhanced identity systemWhy human intuition, emotion, and presence still matterThe dangerous illusion of “human connection” as a safety netThe three barriers destroying coaches:Head-in-the-sand denialThe massive increase in the “ante”Avoidance of deep personal growthWhy most people will choose AI over coaches—and what that meansThe future of coaching: embodiment, consciousness, and lived truth

“The center of any change that we’re doing in the fourth industrial revolution is always the human being, because humans have an ability to adopt, adapt to skills, and adjust to an environment.” –Henrik von Scheel About Henrik von Scheel Henrik von Scheel is Co-Founder of advisory firm Strategic Intelligence, Chairman of the Climate Asset Trust, Vice Chairman of Regulatory Intelligence Committee, and Professor of Strategy, Arthur Lok Jack School of Business, among other roles.

Henrik von Scheel: Thank you very much for having me, Ross. Ross Dawson: So I think we’re pretty aligned in believing that we need to approach AI from a human-centered perspective and how it can bring us prosperity. So I’d just love to start with, how do you think about how we should be thinking about AI? Henrik von Scheel: Well, I think, like every technology that comes into play, it brings a lot of changes to us. But I think the center of any change that we’re doing in the fourth industrial revolution is always the human being, because humans have an ability to adapt, adapt to skills, and adjust to an environment. So technology is something that we apply, but it’s the strategy on how we adapt with it that makes a difference. It’s never the technology itself. So I’m excited. It’s one of the most exciting periods for the industry and for us as people. Ross Dawson: There’s a phrase which I’ve heard you say more than once around AI should make us smarter, healthier, and wealthier. So if that’s the case, how do we frame it? How do we start to get on that journey? Henrik von Scheel: So I think what people experience today in AI is that they experience a lot of media hype—large language models, ChatGPT, and all of this—and they consume it from the media. So there’s a big hype around it, and I believe that AI is about to crash fundamentally, but crashing in technology is not bad, right? There are a lot of promises and then an inability to deliver, and then it crashes. What you hear in the media today is very much driven by a story of them raising funds because it’s so expensive, and so they are promising the world of everything and nothing, and the reality looks a little bit better. The world that they are presenting is that you will be replaced, and you will be happy, and you’ll be served by everything else. And somehow it will work out. We don’t know how, but it will work out. And that’s not a future that is really a real future. The future must include that everybody gets smarter, wealthier, and healthier. And when I say everybody, I mean not only the guys that have money, that they become more rich, or the middle class. It’s like everybody in society should get smarter from AI. That means part of the things that they need to learn or how human evolution works should be better, and it should make us healthier people and wealthier people. So it should not only be that we sacrifice our convenience with our freedom, with our privacy, with our environment, or any other things that we put on the table to get convenience back. That exchange we have done a couple of times, and it’s not working really well for humans, and it’s not a good trade for us, right? Ross Dawson: Yeah, I love that. And since it’s quite simple, you know, you can say it, it’s clear, it sounds good, and it is a really clear direction. But you’re actually pointing in a couple of ways there to capital allocation. So obviously, if you’re looking at the AI economic story, this is around this diversion of capital from other places to AI model development, data centers, deployment, and so on. But also, when you’re saying wealth here, this is around the distribution of wealth—where we’re allocating capital to AI development, but also from the way in which AI is developed, there will be creation of wealth. There is the real potential for productivity improvement. But then it’s about finding, how do we have the mechanisms for allocation of wealth or capital from that which is allocated? Let’s call it equitably. Henrik von Scheel: I’m a firm believer that this year, 35 to 45% of the money invested in AI will evaporate. Companies that have invested—they’re the early adopters—they have this format, so they’re rushing to it. From a company perspective, you always adapt the best practices. When it goes beyond the hype, and the performance curve and adoption curve is low. For example, for AI, the simple version is there. You heard that Deloitte and McKinsey talked 10 years ago about robotic process automation like God’s gift to mankind in AI. Today, you don’t hear them talking about it, because you can download it for free—for HR, for forecasting, planning, budgeting, and so on, you can save 20 or 30%, and as an organization, you can do it yourself. You download two, three models, you test it, and you run it. Good, okay, so that’s when you apply best practices. Then you have industry practices, like AI agents. So when you have AI agents for manufacturing, for industrial sectors, for energy sectors, they are nothing else than workflow optimization. You use robotic process optimization, you do a visualization on it, so it’s far more practical at a level, because you use the data they already have in the organizations under a simple line on the process flow, on the safety, security—it’s very much down at the level where they can apply it and use it. So this version of large language models, where you have this magic powder you spread over the organization and it’s totally working—it’s not really there. And then there’s the third leg that companies are quite aware of. It’s called Shadow AI, right? Shadow AI is because AI is the biggest infringement on intellectual capital within organizations. The reason why normal people are not allowed to look at pornography at their work is because of cybersecurity. It’s not that your boss doesn’t like you to look at pornography; it’s because of cybersecurity. It’s the same reason with AI—you should not be allowed to use Copilot latest version or large language models as a CFO or as a worker, because you’re exporting your own information outside. Copilot takes, every five seconds, a screenshot for the large language models’ learning. So as a corporate point of view, that’s the first thing—you should actually protect your own data so you can monetize your data in the future. From an economic point of view, if you go two, three steps behind this, you ask, okay, what is it that makes sense in this? There’s something really, really strange in this. Australia was built by building railways—they take 100 years to build, they also last 100 years. The infrastructure that lasts. So there’s a return on investment. You build streets, you build education systems—everything we build as humans, as society, has a lasting element to it. Now, we build data centers that last three months until the chips need to be returned, or six months. So there’s no sense in that we are building data centers around the world where we capture all data. It has a volume of hundreds of trillions of dollars, and we need to exchange them at a rate between three to six months to maintain the data. And then you say, wow. And you do that via license models of large language models—the data can never, in its entire life cycle, be that much worth. So there’s a very strange element, because most of the entrepreneurs that go to large language models and use their solutions on Gemini and ChatGPT and so on, you say, okay, you are building your solution on large language models, but you don’t own the model. You don’t own the data. You don’t own your own data. So what are you doing? Ross Dawson: You have architectural choices, to a point, as to— Henrik von Scheel: That’s Architectural choices, but you are limiting yourself. So the first element you always say, if my value is customizing a solution, your value is actually the data. So you must have a way to keep and maintain the data yourself. We can take another call to say how you apply AI and what the future of AI looks like, because AI today is very much focused on language models, and language models are the most limited version of AI science of all. It has the least data, but it’s the one we’re most excited about, because it resembles something we do—our wording, our formation of words. It’s a recognition. Recognitions are what we do. I wanted to come back to this about the economy, right? The US economy puts all chips on this. It’s highly energy sensitive, and it’s working all railroads. However, the US dollar is on a really, really bad track record. Three and a half years ago, there was a president in the US—he was sleeping—and meanwhile, he was sleeping, Saudi Arabia’s King MBS went in and he did a divorce, which is called the divorce of the petrodollar. So the gold linked with US dollar linked with oil—that was the solution. The US had that anybody, they could print as much money as they wanted, and the rest of the world was paying the dividend for it. It was the only country that could just print money. That brought the US into a mode, and when the new president came into his office, it’s very rare that in the US, you are writing an accord. An accord is only written when the Federal Reserve goes into the president’s office saying, guys, we’re hitting the wall. We need to do something. And they wrote five plans, what they wanted to do. And here’s the funny thing—when I mention them, you will recognize them very much. Number one, bring back manufacturing. Number two, implement tariffs so they can pull back US dollars. Number three, then they wanted to implement stable coins to pull back US dollars. I forgot number three, actually. Number four, and number five was actually they want to go to war. Now they go to war, right? So they are going to war, not because of any reasons besides their economy is based on a war machine, and the economy is becoming unstable. So that’s one of the main reasons. The US has put all cards on AI—all their economy cards are on AI. And that’s, from a country perspective, a very dangerous thing to do because you need energy and you need data, and AI from the US perspective has become a defense mechanism. When you look at the regulatory aspect of AI, Europe is very much put into human and center, and that the human owns the data, protects teenagers up to 16 years old, and that you can work as an entrepreneur with data, but you have to coordinate how you protect and manage the data. You have to be transparent on how you use the data and how much data you use. The US is very different—red tape off, no regulations at all, full-blown power to the market, and you are seen as a consumer, Ross, so all power to the guys who earn money to make more money. So no protections of anything, of your data—that’s the US version and literally, no regulations, no redtape regulations. Ross Dawson: In a moment, I want to move on to the human-AI collaboration. But just to round this out, you said before about your prediction that 35 to 40% of the investment in AI is gone, which I think is very, very fair. So back when we both were speakers at the Future of Sex Summit in Dubai last year, I was on a panel where I was asked, is it boom or bust? And basically both, in the sense of 35–40%—that’s bust. But at the same time, there are other parts of the market which can prosper. Of course, consolidation of the market means that there’s massive investments and in some cases massive losses, but there still are sectors where high value can be created. But this goes back to your point where still a lot of the center is in the US. We are starting to see sovereign AI initiatives and other initiatives around the world, but those are often open source foundation models. And obviously the regulation, particularly around the EU, provides a still very differentiated AI landscape with US, China, EU, and then some other players as well, where if we see boom and bust, that could be very much focused on the US, with potential for other parts of the world to see more growth in AI. Henrik von Scheel: So Ross, you’re using large language models, right? Ross Dawson: Yes. Henrik von Scheel: Do you have the feeling that they, since last year, are getting stronger or weaker? they’re getting weaker? Ross Dawson: They’re getting better. Henrik von Scheel: My feeling is the opposite. My feeling is that they’re getting weaker and weaker, and that’s because part of the data — Ross Dawson: In which content? Henrik von Scheel: They’re using old, old content. They’ve already used old content. So now you need to go to specialized, you need to go to public sources, to go for research data, you know. But from a content-wise perspective, it becomes extremely weak. I mean, last year, I’m extremely disappointed by large language models—very, very disappointed in terms of what they can deliver and what they do. Ask it whatever—ask it about futurism prediction, or ask about Industry 5.0, 5.6, whatever answer you give it, you can get an answer. You know, 110%—like CPAM, there are 19 regulations on CPAM, and you ask, how many regulations are there? They will give you sometimes 19, sometimes 17, sometimes 23—they just make up stuff. It just gets worse and worse. So if the valid data is not strong enough, it becomes actually a very, very weak tool after all, right? Ross Dawson: So are these using the top models from the frontier labs, because they are very good. Henrik von Scheel: Yeah, but then you have to have the paid model. But it’s not like I’m really, really impressed by it. It’s not kicking my bum where it says, holy smokes. In the beginning, the first two years, you were surprised, right? So I have a little bit of the feeling that AI today is a little bit where emails were in the beginning, and then digitalization came. With emails, we were all excited, but emails just created not less workload, but more workload for us—it decreased our productivity. There are really good signs of this. Then you look at digitalization, right? We were all excited because we can connect, we can talk to our friends, all of this. But what ended up with WhatsApp Business? WhatsApp Business is no business, right? We are using it, but it decreases our productivity level far more. So today, with digitalization, we are becoming generalists—quick information, we know something, but we don’t know anything, right? It’s not that you would put the finger on it and say, well, it has really increased our innovation level. No. Has it really increased our research level? No. Has it really made us better human beings? No. So I’m not negative against it. I’m just saying we have to be careful, because we have a knife or a hammer—we shouldn’t use the hammer for everything. And you mentioned that really well, right? AI’s hype cycle is, with any technology, there’s a hype, and then it goes down and matures, and then the application of this is different than what you thought in the beginning, of course, but that’s AI—it’s very much relevant. But you know, the big message today in AI is AI physical, right? What is AI physical? Ross Dawson: Well, just going back to the point—a lot of what I’m working on at the moment is the idea of appropriate trust. So you trust the models enough, but not too much, so that if they are going to give you bad results, you’re not relying on them. But if they are useful, you can use them. So we have to continue to calibrate for any particular model, which is different in every particular context. This is both essentially a skill or a capability, where we need to know when and how to use models at any particular time, because they’re changing in whatever way. So that becomes a foundation of how we can trust them to the right degree—not too much, but enough that we can actually use them if they are useful. Which comes back to this frame of the human-AI collaboration, which you’ve been doing a lot of work on. So if AI can be useful in some contexts, how is it that we can best build effective human-AI collaboration? Henrik von Scheel: I like this. Let’s play a little bit, right? So if human evolution is evolving with the birth certificate, we go to kindergarten, we go to school, and we learn differently. Everybody’s individual—we learn differently, right? It takes humans a long time to learn, to sense, to do all of this. And then you have AI, which is a supporting learning model for you to store information. But today you learn, and the model learns on you. You log in, and every time you learn, the model learns from you. That means that all your information is captured there, right? So the next evolution of a model should be that the privacy of Ross is throughout your last five years with large language models—you’ve studied Porter’s models, you’ve studied this and this. Well, if I ask you next day about Porter’s model, you still forget it, but the machine should be able to help you to learn, to adopt the skills in your daily life. So it cannot be a machine knowledge learning that is owned somewhere else by a big company—it must be something that is attached to Ross throughout your life, that you go from where you are now, and in five years, you’re somewhere else. So the knowledge that you have searched and gained and adopted, it follows your life, right? This is, for me, AI—the real AI revolution happens in the bio revolution in 2030, because the biggest amount of data we have is biophysical data. So the interconnection between our body, the modules, the biosystem modules, the biophysical systems, how we eat food, how material, with their level, is coming all in there, and part of this is the knowledge center of you, Ross. So if you learn something, how does it follow your evolution? Do you learn the same way today you learned 10 years ago? Ross Dawson: And it’s a wonderful thing that we continue to learn and forget and evolve. We are the same person, sort of, but, you know, we are a different person at the same time. Henrik von Scheel: I was talking yesterday to a psychiatrist who’s studying human evolution, and she’s called Trina Gondo, and I had this interesting discussion with her, because she says humans’ learning capacity changes throughout their life. So if we have learning modules that can support us throughout our life—to go through how conscious, how focused we are on things, how much stress level we can take, because stress levels are also different, how much breadth are you covering in terms of your work, your private life, how are you in terms of setup, in terms of your spiritual life—all of this has something to do with your learning, because it’s your perspective you drive. It’s your values you drive. I actually developed with her a model in terms of how the six aggregates of the brain work to understand our human evolution. For the last eight months, I’m trying to map human evolution, to map it to what AI—how it affects it, what we should regulate and how we should protect it, and how the human can monetize its own data, right? So just look at— Ross Dawson: The initiative by Doc Searls. So there’s a couple of really interesting initiatives. This is one where he worked originally on VRM, the vendor relationship management—you own your own data and trade that as effective—and is now building, or being instrumental in setting up, an AI initiative where it is around your personal AI, so you own the data, you own the systems, and you’re able to evolve with it. There are some other interesting initiatives like this, but these are obviously very tiny compared with the ways in which most people are using—essentially giving off their data to other people. But this is certainly part of the potential, to build the structures and architectures where we do own our data and our models and how they are used and what comes from them. Henrik von Scheel: So let’s go back into one element, right? Originally, Ross, you and everybody else of us who live in a society, we made an agreement with the government—a social agreement. And the social agreement is, I’m using, you’re protecting me, and I’m willing to pay tax somehow, right? So in reality, the government you made an agreement with should have the ability to protect you. However, in an AI model today, it’s not possible, because if they should protect you from the very beginning and keep the store of your data and maintain your data, the amount of money they need just to maintain your data is immense. So we need to define and find a model with governments where governments and the human being can, in co-ownership, hold the data structure—like in a blockchain, that you have a public and a private key, and both can hold the data, but the data is only unlocked both ways. Why? Because there’s a monetization model on your own data throughout your life. And when you die, your data goes on to your children, because that’s your DNA data, that’s your history life data, that’s all of it. So there should be an ability to monetize it. The challenge we face with this is the amount it will cost to maintain your data throughout your life, and we need to find—in the fourth industrial revolution, we’re going through the bio revolution, then we’re going to the consumer revolution, and then we go to the fusion revolution. And in the fusion revolution, the objective and the hope is that we are finding mechanisms to have cheap energy, because the amount of energy we use today in terms of data is literally crazy. It’s utterly, utterly crazy. We should be ashamed of ourselves if we see that, and that’s just for the amount of convenience. So if we find a model for our government to do this, we should actually work on this. This is what I’m trying to look at. I want to alert you to one interesting thing. My key field of study is patternicity with probabilities. So when you look at trends that are coming, you look at probabilities—not ChatGPT stuff, right? When you look at this, there’s one trend that emerged last week that hasn’t been emerging before—the trend of anarchy in Europe. Anarchy is an interesting aspect, because anarchy is your distrust in the government. And when anarchy comes, it’s just an equation of 25%. If 25% in a country like Germany or UK or France will take it, 25% is a flipping chart for everybody, because the petrol prices are too high, expenses for food are too high, they get too many promises they never—and then take the power in their own hand. When you look at it a little bit, you say, but anarchy—is that something new? No, the US is living in anarchy today. Trump is the true version of anarchy. They distrust the government, and they choose him, and he, from all aspects, says, okay, I’m doing something very different. I give all the power to the market. There’s been no time in history where all the power is residing within the market—Elon Musk and Amazon, Apple, all of them have literally all the power. It’s totally, utterly crazy. This is the highest version of anarchy you can see in a country. And if we’re not careful, it’s spreading. Why am I discussing this in an AI human element? Because if the human is the centerpiece, what is the core element of human development? It’s that we have safety, security, and trust. If trust is broken, anarchy emerges. So if anarchy emerges, AI can take on very different versions that we don’t want in a scenario thinking, but AI can also take on the version that it can support us in our evolution. Ross Dawson: Well, just going to that—education. You are a professor. You are an educator. You look at the future of education, and you alluded to that before. So in this world where AI is already and is becoming more significant, how do we reinvent education? How do we educate ourselves as individuals, as educational institutions, or society? How do we shape the education that we need for the exciting coming times? Henrik von Scheel: I think one of our challenges with education is that we as people, when we go beyond eight years old, the key element we’re learning is reasoning, and our reasoning skills are learned by doing mistakes, unfortunately. We never learn by getting an answer. If you study Porter’s model on ChatGPT, and you get all the answers from Porter’s model, and I ask you the next day, if you haven’t applied it, you haven’t learned it. If I would ask you, you will learn it. You do mistakes, and it’s by doing the mistakes, by putting yourself into the content, working with the content, and doing mistakes, you learn. Unfortunately, most of the stuff we learn today—now, human evolution in reasoning is by doing mistakes. So we need to find a very smart way how AI can support us in this mistake learning phase, because it’s the way that we are built to learn, right? Ross Dawson: And I think that’s a critical thing—where as individuals, we need to understand that if we delegate our thinking to AI, it’s not going to work; you’re going to be dumber rather than smarter. But if we can have the intent of using it to hone our thinking and helping us to make mistakes or be a Socratic dialog or whatever, we can do that, but that requires the individual intent. So again, we also need to frame as educators and also in organizations—which should be educational institutions in their own right, because they are learning organizations—it’s this framing of the use of AI as a cognitive foil for us, as opposed to something where we delegate our work, which is never going to get us anywhere good. Henrik von Scheel: And where do you think we can use it in education? Ross Dawson: The good thing is, you know, personalized education, where I think that there is definitely this ability to address where individuals are and their understanding, the metaphors that will be relevant to them, the frames for that. But it never has to be in a form of giving the answer. So there’s always this complement of human—as in, the educator needs to be inspiring. They need to help the person to find themselves. They have that relationship with them. So it’s this complement with the AI, which can guide to specific lessons or frames or examples that people resonate with, which can assist them. And so again, it needs to be very much—individuals need to understand, they have to shape it for themselves. I think we can present things in the right way. And there’s very much a human plus AI educational frame. Henrik von Scheel: I think you’re spot on with this. When you look at the five aggregates that we have in human evolution and in education phases, our sensory—our forming of ourselves to the outside world—is shaped quite early on, until we are maybe 12 years old, but quite early, the first two years. That means our sight, our smell, how we hear, how we taste, how we feel, and how our balance works—we learn quite fast. This is what AI is focusing on in AI physical today. They’re trying to come from a language model point of view outside to the physical world. Then we have this cognitive version of us, which is the intellect version. It’s very different. The intellect version of us is a version of awareness, a version of how we comprehend things, how we understand things, how our knowledge is conceived and given out. So it’s both communications, it’s storytelling, it’s our comprehension, it’s our perspective, it’s our reasoning, it’s our awareness. These four things are never the same for the same person. I can have a room of 200 students, I can talk about the same element on Adam Smith’s first principle, and they will all understand it differently because of their different backgrounds. So this part of cognitive understanding, the intellect, is far more complex. Then you go to the versions of who we are as a person. Our memories—our memories are a whole element of our emotions, which is a hugely important part of our learning, because memories have nothing to do with truth. Large language models always look for the truth, but in our own memories, we are lying to ourselves to keep our sanity. We are partly, not consciously but unconsciously, lying to ourselves because we view it only from one perspective. So our reflection of our memories or our impulses are related to our memories or our conceptual things. All these elements are our emotional elements, in terms of how strongly we can link to knowledge, how strongly we can see the future, how we can see ourselves in the future—all of this. When you look at the crisis now, the memory is on how resilient we are as people, how resilient we are in our learning phase, how comfortable we are with the unknown, how comfortable we are to learning. Then you have the next two ones. The other one is our mental formation or our identity. This is the element we’re trying to protect in digitalization—how we form our opinions, our insight, our resolution, our understanding, ourselves, and our retentiveness, who we are. All of these things are being shaped as teenagers. We don’t want this to be in a social aspect. We want this to be a safe, secure element. So this is the identity you form. Then you have the consciousness. The consciousness is a strange thing. You have two layers running in your education. You have the layers that are running long term and the unconsciousness that actually takes the decision—the analytical versions and the underlying elements. For example, why are you doing something? So you come with purposes, you come with energy, you come with desire, or you come with willpower. Then you say, well, they’re more etheric. No, they’re not. Because, Ross, you wake up every morning with that much amount of energy. You can use this the next eight hours you work. You can use it on emails the first four hours, but then you’re using your most precious willpower and energy right then. You have your willpower to train, for example, if you want to do training. When you want to train in the evening, when your willpower is lower, you want to train early in the morning. So this willpower and the energy is what we as humans in our consciousness—how we are aware of things, what we focus on, we magnify. So these are the five aggregates you’re using from the learning perspective. If we apply these, you and I, Ross, we would go into an initiative to say, how can we apply this to understand human evolution when we evolve this? Because I’m nearly 60 years old now, and that means, for me, my concept of life, experience of life, is different than when I was 30, than when I was 20. You cannot go to a young person that is 15 years old and say, let me tell you about love—there are four different phases of love. They need to experience them themselves, because it’s not my job to take that away from them. And it’s not my job to tell a young man, now you want to conquer and do, you want to have freedom, Generation X and all of this. And then you realize, easy, easy, easy. I’ll let you know. When you fall in love and you become a father, it changes you. Why does it change you? Because accountability moves into a man’s focus area, as before he was conquering. And then accountability—a man wants to be a caretaker of something, and it fulfills and magnifies a man. And then you say, well, this is not part of the five aggregates—very much so, right? Because it’s part of human evolution. Ross, you have experienced that in your life. So then you say, how do we connect that with our evolution and learning? Ross Dawson: Yeah, no, I think that’s a really important point around accountability for ourselves, for those around us, directly in the broader community. And I think that’s kind of this big humans plus AI frame. So we’re obviously just touching the surface of what we could dig into now. But how can people find out more about your work Henrik? Henrik von Scheel: I’m a public figure. I’m doing a lot of research projects with universities. I have a lot of PhD students and coaching and supporting governments on policy initiatives. Currently, I’m focusing a lot in the Gulf regions on strategic briefings, on crisis management, in terms of doing scenarios for strategic, tactical, operational, for short term and long term. But my passion is actually teaching, and this is far more a personal story on teaching. People see me always as the Industry 4.0 originator on everything I have accomplished. But my true story is actually quite different. When I was young, I was dyslexic. I’m actually double dyslexic, and I was stuttering. I had a very, very difficult time in school. That’s why I am a little bit passive aggressive, because I’m always on the defensive, because many years I went through life just being some sort of an outcast. So within that phase, I had a very strong teacher that actually supported me and used time and effort to see my skills, and he helped me to overcome my dyslexia—which is not really true. You never overcome your dyslexia. You are just getting tools to work with it. So that means I’ve written today nine books, and five of them are bestsellers, but I cannot even read my own books aloud. So what is the message I’m giving? Everybody of us is made different, and because we’re made different, it’s not that—because society is often built on, if you don’t fit that frame, then you’re not part of that frame. But I think AI opens up something for us—that the breadth of who we are as people is a beautiful thing. And because I cannot speak the same way, like I have a good friend Tarek, who is also your friend—he’s a gifted storyteller. My gift is that I can see patterns. So I believe that every human being should be able to see their superpower. Your gift, Ross, is a very different gift. You can gather communities, you can convey difficult things in a simple thing, you have an ability to put the human in the future, where everybody sits today and they freak the hell out because they don’t see them part of the future. So I think everybody has a future in that. To answer your question, I’m a quite reachable person. I believe the future looks like a good future for us, Ross. I believe this is the time for our educators to wake up out of their long-term sleep. We need to evolve our teaching material. We need to evolve the way that we learn and teach. We have terrible lessons in terms of how boys and girls evolve in their learnings, and we’re not doing anything about it. This is our chance with AI to change the learning mechanisms for boys and girls, our learning mechanisms if you’re one like me that doesn’t fit these templates, if you have special needs. We have the ability with AI to specialize ourselves far more in detail. One of the challenges we have with education today—when you go from primary school to higher education, and then go beyond higher education—our challenge with higher education is we have become generalists, and our generalism is actually inhibiting us to innovate, so we’re not meeting some of the core challenges that we have in science today, and we need to push the boundaries on where we go to research to really become innovative. We need to push our boundaries in terms of manufacturing, energy sector, and so on, to specialize in special fields. When you look at engineering schools, engineering schools have become more and more generalist in six fields, and they should become specialists in fields. So I think that’s where we need to really push the boundaries. Ross Dawson: Yeah, no, I think, to your point, what I see as one of the ultimate possibilities from AI is that it amplifies our individuality. And so that’s an extraordinary possibility. So thank you so much for your time and your insights, Henrik. You’re sharing some great work, and we’ll share in the show notes links to one of your research papers and the work you do. Thank you. Henrik von Scheel: Okay, thanks a lot. Good. Goodbye.

Figure de la répression sous Nicolas Maduro, Tarek William Saab a démissionné mercredi 25 février 2026. Dans les articles que la presse vénézuélienne consacre à Tarek William Saab, aucune allusion à ses tatouages. Pas grand-chose non plus sur de supposés talents d'écrivain et de poète. Mais beaucoup sur son rôle au sein de l'appareil répressif vénézuélien. « Le procureur de l'impunité et de la répression », titre Runrun. Le site d'information présente sa démission comme un coup dur pour le régime, dont Tarek William Saab était l'un des visages les plus importants. « Pendant près d'une décennie, écrit Runrun, Tarek William Saab a été la voix chargée de “rendre justice” sur les réseaux sociaux et les rares médias encore existants. Il y a annoncé des arrestations, des complots et des projets d'assassinats déjoués contre des responsables de l'État ». « Saab, poursuit Runrun, a défendu le gouvernement contre les rapports internationaux qui accusaient l'État de tortures, de disparitions forcées, d'exécutions extrajudiciaires et d'autres crimes considérés comme des crimes contre l'humanité. » Mais Runrun rappelle que Tarek William Saab n'a pas été seulement l'avocat du régime. Il a été aussi un acteur majeur de la répression, en refusant d'enquêter sur les accusations de torture et en utilisant l'appareil judiciaire pour persécuter les opposants. « Saab se retire du ministère public en l'ayant transformé en instrument de persécution politique », ajoute TalCual, qui souligne que sous son mandat, le Venezuela est devenu le premier pays de la région à faire l'objet d'une enquête de la Cour pénale internationale.   Les derniers jours de Maduro au pouvoir Toujours au sujet du Venezuela, le New York Times revient sur les derniers jours de Nicolas Maduro au pouvoir, dans un long récit pour lequel le quotidien new yorkais s'est appuyé sur des entretiens avec une douzaine de hauts fonctionnaires, amis et alliés du président déchu. Des témoignages confirmés par d'autres, de proches de Donald Trump et de Delcy Rodriguez, l'actuelle président par intérim vénézuélienne. Il est notamment question d'un échange téléphonique entre Nicolas Maduro et le locataire de la Maison Blanche. C'était le 21 novembre 2025. Une conversation de 5 à 10 minutes, apparemment cordiale, qui a précipité la chute du dirigeant vénézuélien sans que celui-ci s'en doute. « À la fin de l'année 2025, raconte ainsi le New York Times, le président Nicolas Maduro semblait étonnamment détendu ». Alors qu'une armada états-unienne se trouvait au large des côtes de son pays, et que le plan pour sa capture était déjà élaboré, Nicolas Maduro réveillonnait avec ses proches en écoutant des chants de Noël. Washington l'avait menacé d'intervenir militairement s'il ne démissionnait pas. Il se savait espionné. Mais il était persuadé que l'administration Trump n'oserait pas attaquer Caracas et qu'il avait encore le temps de négocier un accord pour rester au pouvoir, ou quitter ses fonctions lorsqu'il le déciderait. « Sa mauvaise interprétation des intentions de l'administration Trump, écrit le New York Times, a eu de profondes conséquences : elle a donné lieu à la première attaque étrangère sur le sol vénézuélien depuis plus d'un siècle, a conduit Nicolas Maduro et sa femme dans une prison de Brooklyn et a changé le cours de l'histoire de son pays. »   Record de départs des États-Unis Les États-Unis recensent un nombre record de départs. Il ne s'agit pas ici de départs forcés, ceux provoqués par la campagne d'expulsion massive de l'administration. Non, ce dont il est question dans le Wall Street Journal, ce sont ceux de citoyens états-uniens qui partent s'installer à l'étranger pour étudier, télétravailler ou passer leur retraite. Des citoyens effrayés par la politique de l'administration Trump ou attirés par une vie plus abordable, qu'on trouve désormais à Lisbonne, à Dublin, au Mexique et même en Albanie... En 2025, les États-Unis ont ainsi été confrontés à une situation inédite : pour la première fois depuis la Grande Dépression, il y a eu plus de départs que d'arrivées. Pour le Wall Street Journal, un constat s'impose : pour certains citoyens des États-Unis, le nouveau rêve américain est de ne plus y vivre. En Haïti, Le Nouvelliste s'est entretenu avec le Premier ministre. Un entretien dans lequel Alix Didier Fils-Aimé explique que son mandat n'est pas sans limite. Le chef du gouvernement haïtien a, par ailleurs, participé cette semaine à la 50è réunion des chefs de gouvernement de la Caricom. C'est sa première sortie internationale depuis qu'il est devenu le seul responsable à la tête de l'État. Entretien avec Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste. Au Chili, le véganisme, cette alimentation qui exclut les produits d'origine animale, gagne peu à peu du terrain. La capitale Santiago se classe d'ailleurs comme la seconde ville d'Amérique latine où l'on trouve le plus de restaurants, d'épiceries et de produits véganes, juste derrière São Paulo, mais devant Buenos Aires et la ville de México. Et même si pendant un temps ça a peut-être été un effet d'une mode, le véganisme convainc de plus en plus de Chiliens, surtout les jeunes. Reportage à Santiago de notre correspondante Naïla Derroisné.

Cash flow is oxygen, and too many teams are holding their breath waiting on portals, proofs, and “who handles this?” handoffs. We sit down with Tarek, a former TQL broker turned founder, to unpack the culture of persistence he learned on the brokerage floor and how that same grit now powers an AI platform that doesn't just assist accounts receivable—it does the work.We start with the reality of freight sales: real-time chaos, creative problem solving, and an all-out push to win accounts. Then we widen the lens to founder-led growth, the kind of leadership that gets teams to feel the mission and deliver through tough cycles. From there, we go deep on AR. Why does a missing lumper fee stall a giant remittance? How do portals, short-pays, and missing documents consume weeks? Tarek breaks down a task-based system that sits on your ERP, automates the repeatable steps, and routes exceptions to the right humans in sales and CS. Think instant W‑9s, dispute drafts with proof attached, and AI-powered calls that surface the exact invoice history mid-conversation.This isn't AI as a buzzword. It's time-to-value measured in days, not months, with reductions in overdue invoices and DSO you can feel in your working capital. We talk hiring A-level engineers who talk to customers and ship fast, the difference between commodity selling and value selling, and how a platform partner like A16Z adds real leverage in talent, BD, and brand. We also draw a firm line on ethics: automation belongs in B2B workflows where it creates clarity and speed, not in consumer collections that cross the line.If you want practical tactics to close your cash gap, align finance with sales, and keep customers happy while the money moves, this conversation is for you.

Future Fortune by Restraining Order (Blue Grape Music) Ben (Manic Presents/Premier Concerts) Favorites: Home Front - Watch it Die Safe Mind - Cutting the Stone Miltown - Tales of Never Letting Go Béton Arme - Renaissance Scarab - Burn After Listening Cadaver Dog - Bred to Fight Vatican Shadow - 20th Hijacker C4 - payback's a bitch Mil-Spec - Mil-Spec The Tubs - Cotton Crown Antoni Maiovvi Favorites: 10 Arnaud Rebotini - Winter Sequences - Skylax Records A surprise EP from French legend Arnaud Rebotini on the infamous Skylax Records. Great moody, almost electroclash esque analog gems. It's been interesting to see Rebotini's music come back around from the rave days through film scores to now without really changing much. No one does the nexus point of French House and EBM quite like him. 9 DJ Plant Texture - Life - Tresor RecordsThe first of two Tresor releases in my top 10, not sure what has been happening over there lately, but I'm here for it. A great weirdo techno 12 inch where opening track Repetitivo (Stretch Mix) sounding like Jeff Mills having eaten too many haribo, before mutating into scattered hats across the dancefloor, perhaps to trip up Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern who have broken into your house for some reason. 8 Autechre - Untilted - Warp Records Now to the first of two reissues in my list, and despite my somewhat negative thoughts as to their quote unquote live show I saw this year, I still love the music and this one in particular stuck out. Approachable but still properly mad. Proof that extreme computer music can be fun. 7 Clark - Steep Stims - Throttle Records I remember when Chris Clark came out with his first record and thinking that it too warp for warp records. I'm pretty sure we never met when I was in Berlin, unless I got him confused with Kid 606, in which case I apologize to you both. Anyway, Steep Stims is great, playful, emotional, one foot in the past and another in the future, really great work that I think will age really well. Solid work Mr Clark. 6 Emptyset - Dissever - Thrill Jockey Records Amazing new record from Emptyset, feels like they took all the lessons from all the later records and applied it to the earlier ones. Beautiful intense grinding drones, like someone built an installation of Sheer Hellish Miasma and I'm somehow in the room with it. 5 Merzbow, Iggor Cavalera, Eraldo Bernocchi - Nocturnal Rainforest - PAN Full disclosure, Iggor sent this to me, but it's been on my repeated listens ever since. Zen-like terror but incredibly dynamic. One of the best noise releases of the year and I'd go as far as to say a career highlight for each of the members. 4 Various Artists - 30 Years Sonic Groove - Sonic Groove Has it really been 30 years of Sonic Groove? Adam X compiles a collection of outstanding producers for this excellent collection of tracks. Highlights include the mutant acid of Bryan Zentz, the incomparable genius of Mike Parker and the industrial brutality of Statiqbloom. 3 Dopplereffekt - Metasymmetry - Tresor The second Tresor release on my list is the mighty Dopplereffekt. Beautiful, futuristic and unmistakably Detroit. Top 3 don't disagree! 2 Maria Somerville - Luster - 4AD Genuinely shocking to hear an artist on 4AD in 2025 that sounds like what an artist on 4AD sounds like in my head and it's great. Melancholic Ambient shoegaze for a new generation. 1 Coil - Black Antlers - Dais Records Black Antlers is not my favorite Coil album, but it is the one I least expected to be reissued as it was originally a tour only CDR that then got expanded. You could argue that it might not count as a proper Coil album, but who has time for these discussions. Some of the best music ever created. Nick (Disfigure; the one on the right in the pic) Favorites: Kommodus - A Foetal Wolf in Stained Glass - Probably my favorite release from Kommodus. Really awesome auxiliary instruments incorporated here and I like the unhinged melodic leads thrown in on a lot of the songs. It has a punkier tinge to it with the guitar tones and the vocals are equally as heavy Fellwinter - Dark Mediaeval Art - Pure riff-centric Judas Iscariot worship Magus Lord - In The Company of Champions - Epic in every way. I liked this better than the Lamp record this year but M has been writing fantastic black metal for a while and this side project is really refreshing to follow Ultimate Disaster - For Progress . . . - Perfectly written D-Beat in my opinion. Very tight songwriting and the riffs and solos are so well executed Valen - Viarum - I'm a huge Thangorodrim fan and this project has reminded me most of that. This was my go-to Dungeon Synth for some epic game nights this year Enceladus - Demo II - Another great release from this project. I love the half time parts, the more death metal sounding vocals, and just the ferocity of the songs while still being melodic Iron Firmament - Arcane Overspill - Amazing black metal from Washington, a state known for churning out amazing black metal for over two decades. I really love the production on this release, especially the interludes. This band writes amazing riffs and this has been a standout for me in their already exceptional discography Sharp Pins - Balloon Balloon Balloon - I love Power pop, I love Guided By Voices and Sharp Pins delivers on all fronts Occult Blood/Carrion Bloom - Battle Cries of Endless Night - Both sides of this split are fantastic. Put out by Wergild who can't miss lately with their bands/releases Utility - S/T - The hometown heroes! The whole release but especially the first song reminds me so much of Fired Up, one of my favorite CT hardcore bands of all time. Great songwriting and also absolutely on point with the energy and vocals. The demo before this is fantastic as well     The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (first of the month going forward) that works as a companion to what we do at Redscroll Records in Wallingford, CT USA.

In this discussion we talk with Professor Corinna Mullin who is a member of the Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective.  Corinna Mullin is an anti-imperialist academic who teaches political science and economics. Her research examines the historical legacies of colonialism and the role of capitalist expansion and imperialist imbrications in producing peripheral state “security dependency,” with a focus on unequal exchange, super-exploitation, resource extraction, and other forms of surplus value drain/transfer as well as resistance. Corinna has also researched and published academic works on border imperialism, struggles around the colonial-capitalist university, fascism, multipolarity, and national liberation, with a focus on the Maghreb, West Asia, and Turtle Island. Corinna was a member of the Steering Committee for the International Peoples' Tribunal on U.S. Imperialism and organizes with CUNY for Palestine and Labor for Palestine. She serves on the Steering Committee of the Professional Staff Congress (PSC)-CUNY's International Committee and is a member of the Delegate Assembly. Full bio from AISC. In this discussion we primarily discuss her piece, Zionism, Imperialism, and the Struggle Against Global Fascism: Palestine as the ‘Hornet's Nest' of US Empire from the Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective blog The Pen Is My Machete  And a little bit on her piece The ‘War on Terror' as Primitive Accumulation in Tunisia: US-Led Imperialism and the Post-2010-2011 Revolt/Security Conjuncture from Middle East Critique  Also I say more about this in the episode, but Dr. Mullin was fired from CUNY as a result of her stance and organizing with respect to Palestine. We will include a statement from AISC on this and a Statement in Solidarity with CUNY Faculty and Students Facing McCarthyite Retaliation for Palestine Solidarity which we have signed.  There are also a number of other calls to action for faculty and students at CUNY that we will include in the show description. Corinna talks about those at the end of the episode and we strongly encourage folks to support those calls to action it only takes a minute of your time. In this discussion Dr. Mullin talks a little bit about Dr. Ali Kadri's The Accumulation of Waste: A Political Economy of Systemic Destruction and it just so happens that we have a study group on that exact book starting on October 1st, it's available to everyone who supports the show, whether through patreon, BuyMeACoffee or as a YouTube member of the show. Details on that study group and how to join it are linked in the show description. But just to note that there are only about 40 spots left in the group as we publish this, so if you want to join us, make sure you do so ASAP to reserve your space. Calls to Action:  "Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik is being made an example of for the sake of setting the tone across the nation at public universities, as they seek further control over the student movement for Palestine. City College President Vincent Boudreau has already denied her appeal for a drop to the charges, without even an acknowledgement to the 2,000+ calls and emails from the community that demanded her reinstatement. Now, it is time to escalate both our tactics against CUNY and whom we pressure— Take it to the Board of Trustees. Your rage is needed to make it loud and clear that CUNY's repression will not go uninterrupted.  CALL CUNY STUDENT AFFAIRS: 646-664-8800 EMAIL THE BOT: https://tinyurl.com/Defendhadeeqaarzoo" Free Tarek Bazrouk! Tarek is a 20-year-old Palestinian from NYC, unjustly convicted of federal charges stemming from his participation in protests against the genocide in Gaza. "Demand Immediate Reinstatement of Terminated Adjunct Faculty and Defend Academic Freedom Send a letter to Brooklyn College President Michelle Anderson, CUNY Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez, and CUNY Board Chairperson William Thompson urging them to reinstate the fired adjunct faculty and protect the rights of CUNY students and workers who stand in solidarity with Palestine. The targeting of these individuals is part of a broader assault on higher education and academic freedom. Their fight is our fight—silencing them is an attack on us all.

It's a Monday Fun Day on the Majority Report where the fun is rare, but you can't deny it is Monday.  We open with a good news - bad news situation. The good news is violent crime in Washington DC has a hit a 30-year low. Bad news is Trump is declaring DC under federal control and deploying the National Guard. We are joined by Palestinian-Canadian emergency room physician, Dr. Tarek Loubani who is currently volunteering at Nasser hospital in Gaza. It's a harrowing interview but we must bear witness to the terror our tax dollars are funding. Check out Emma's interview with Dr. Loubani from last year. In the Fun Half: Pete Buttigieg uses his signature brand of meaningless corporate consultant talk to the topic of Israel on Pod Save America. Rep Bryan Steil (R-WI) gets heckled out of the building during his town hall. Israel assassinated 5 more journalists, never in history have we seen a country target the press like this. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did a segment on Chuck Schumer's imaginary best friends, "The Baileys". Maybe one of the LWT writers are MR fans? Patrick Bet-David uses every ounce of his very limited broadcasting ability to spin a report that shows how monumentally unpopular Elon Musk and Donald Trump are. ICE and CBP claim being brown qualifies as reasonable suspicion and GOP Latinos are starting to feel the pressure that they voted for.

The grand conspiracy continues. CIA Director John Ratcliffe has confirmed that he will be declassifying the classified annex of the Durham Report in the next few weeks. He also verified that the statute of limitations will not apply to John Brennan, James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, and others because, in a conspiracy case… that's not all. Guest Joey Tarek joins the show to discuss the border, the mass human trafficking occurring across the nation, and his take on how the Trump administration is helping to resolve these issues. Later, Donald Trump visited the European Commission and absolutely killed it. He joined Ursula von der Leyen and completely grilled her. We'll be talking about all this and more on today's Untamed!
