As Shirley Ceasar’s song says, “This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it to me…the world can’t take it away.

Esben og Jakob er live fra Aalborg Kongres Center, hvor kommuners holder stort topmøde. De taler om deres gamle biler, decentralisering, stigende forventninger til velfærd og kommunalvalget i november.Ugens emner i #dkpol:Wammen vs. Damm (09:38): Det helt store clash på KØF, inden #dkpol gik på scenen, var debatten mellem Nicolai Wammen og Martin Damm – Socialdemokratiet vs. Venstre, finansministeren vs. formanden for KL, stat vs. kommune. Jakob og Esben deler deres takeaways fra, hvad der ifølge dem var en meget underlig debat.Decentraliseringens anatomi (17:34): Esben lægger ud med en anekdote om sin 2001 Toyota Corolla, der ikke møder forventningerne til en god bil i 2025. Hør, hvordan det hænger sammen med hans syn på udliciteringen af velfærden til kommunerne – og hvordan Jakob ikke ser det helt på samme måde.Kommunalvalg 2025 (27:44): Dansk politiks svar på rumble in the jungle! Alt tyder på, at det bliver en slags midtvejsvalg til næste folketingsvalg. I hvert fald kan det få landspolitiske konsekvenser. Esben og Jakob diskuterer, hvad der er værd at holde øje med. Husk desuden, det er den 7. februar, at DKPOL-løbeklubben løber igen. Turen starter kl. 08:00 foran Altinget i Ny Kongensgade 10, København.Værter: Esben Schjørring, politisk redaktør på Altinget, og Jakob Nielsen, ansvarshavende chefredaktør på Altinget.Producer: Emma Klitnæs, podcastassistent.Shownotes:Esbens anbefaling: Podcastafsnittet 'Why Trump Wants Greenland (and more)' fra These Times.Jakobs anbefaling: 'Too Much Happiness' af Alice Munro og diskussionen af bogen og hende som person i podcasten The Daily.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck and Sam are joined by Joel Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News, calling in live from the heart of the Palisades fire zone. They explore the facts surrounding the Palisades fire and discuss a question from Joel's recent post on X: "To repeat: if you want to believe that the California wildfires were caused by climate change, I'm not going to argue with you. But I am going to ask why the people whom we elected, who also believe that climate change is a threat, did absolutely nothing to prepare for the risk."Later, Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Cambridge and co-host of These Times, examines how Europe's short-sighted policies gave China dominance in the car industry and the implications for the global economy.

(Conversation recorded on November 11th, 2024, prior to a ceasefire declared between Israel and Lebanon on November 27th, 2024)   If you've followed TGS for some time, you've heard Nate speak about The 5 Horsemen – the biggest risks for humans and civilization in the coming decade. Today's episode delves into one of the most rapidly escalating: geopolitics.  Today, Nate is joined by Political Economy Professor Helen Thompson to explore the evolving understanding of energy's role in international relations, particularly in the context of recent conflicts in the Middle East. They discuss the challenge of anticipating the volatile changes in energy supplies, the complexities of navigating information in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, and the role of global powers like BRICS and OPEC. How will resource conflicts continue to shape the long-standing tensions in the Middle East? What would a transition from a unipolar world to a multipolar world mean for the global geopolitical landscape and its energy implications? Given how connected these issues are to the delicate balance of our world, how can we increase awareness and preparation for future crises?   About Helen Thompson:  Helen Thompson has been Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge since 1994. Her current research concentrates on the political economy of energy and the long history of the democratic, economic, and geopolitical disruptions of the twenty-first century. She is a regular panelist on Talking Politics and a columnist for the New Statesman. She is a co-presenter of UnHerd's podcast, These Times, and recently published Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   ---   Support The Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future Join our Substack newsletter Join our Discord channel and connect with other listeners

An agreement has been reached at Cop 28 that includes a commitment to phasing out the use of fossil fuels, with some hailing it as an historic moment in the struggle to mitigate climate change. But an agreement is not a substitute for action and the actions required to achieve Net Zero by 2050 amount to one of the most fundamental changes in all human history. The effort is going to have repercussions for how we live, how states interact with each other and for domestic politics. To discuss all this Hugh is joined by Helen Thompson, professor of political economy at Cambridge and cohost of These Times podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode, political economist Helen Thompson and Nate discuss how energy and geopolitics have interconnected over the past century, building to the entangled political relationships we see around us today. The dynamics of power on a global scale are complex - stemming from access to energy, financial control, military strength, credibility/trust, and much more - yet we can understand these a bit better by learning the history that shaped them. How have geologic provinces of energy dense carbon created inherent hot spots on the geopolitical playing field? How has the global monetary system and debt evolved to strengthen the power of a select few countries and how difficult is it to break from this system? Do our leaders have the capability/knowledge to connect energy and geopolitical policy in order to guide us through a future of declining energy availability?    About Helen Thomspon:   Helen Thompson is Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge since 1994. Her current research concentrates on the political economy of energy and the long history of the democratic, economic, and geopolitical disruptions of the twenty-first century. She is a regular panelist on Talking Politics and a columnist for the New Statesman. She is a co-presenter of UnHerd's podcast, These Times and recently published Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century.   For Show Notes and More visit:  https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/98-helen-thompson To watch this video episode on Youtube → https://youtu.be/FQbdNXQcT3E

The second part of our conversation with the topical songwriter David Rovics. Part one traced the evolution of a political mind to the moment when tragedy undid the shackles of expectations and set David on his path. This week we follow what happens next, the collapse of the college circuit that supported activists throughout the later 20th Century, the implosion of the CD revenue stream and the rise of an atomized social-media-driven culture.

This week's episode was recorded live at the Hay Festival, where David was joined on stage by David Miliband and Helen Thompson to discuss the past, present and future of American power. What explains American global dominance? Can it be justified? How will it be replaced? They discuss the fall-out of the Ukraine war, the threat posed by China, the challenge of climate change and the possibility of a second Trump presidency and ask – is the American century over?David Miliband writes about the consequences of the Ukraine war in Foreign Affairs.Hear more from Helen Thompson on the These Times podcast from UnHerd.

In this episode we jump into the next section of "Oneness". Our energy creates our reality; from our thoughts to our words- what we ARE is what we EXPERIENCE. This section teaches us that we have to closely govern everything we think, speak, do and feel to manifest what it is we would like to see in our lives. Otherwise, the unwanted outcomes persist by our own design. The recurrence of these themes, whether wanted or unwanted, keep us in a pattern of learning until the experiential lesson has been confirmed as practice. Side stepping the inevitable conflicts in life keeps us in that cycle, and this section tells us how side-stepping those conflicts when we start to see them arise is the way we transcend the repeated experiences and attain a higher level of enlightenment. The chapters of the book are documentations of the interactions and lessons that “Oneness” taught over a 5 year period. Each chapter, a new revelation about our Devine nature and potential power in this life incarnation. Chapter 3: Your Energy Field As The Co-Creator of Your Circumstances. The Power of Your Thoughts and Words as Tools of Manifestation. Breaking the Patterns That Create Unwanted Outcomes. Chapter 4: Bringing the "recurring dream" of This Lifetime To Completion Learning to Recognize and to Decline the Invitation of Conflict How the Collective Will Has Helped Transcend The Prophesies for These Times.
