There are no two letters more disruptive in our time than AI. We're told it will create employment yet take jobs away; invent life-saving medicines yet enable superviruses; solve the climate crisis yet deepen it. So will it save us or damn us? Is AI the ultimate disruptor?This conversation, moderated by Nahlah Ayed, was part of the 2026 Charles Bronfman's “Conversations” series.Guests in this episode:Yoshua Bengio is a professor at Université de Montreal. He also has the distinction of being the most-cited living scientist in the world, in any discipline. He's co-president and scientific director of LawZero, a nonprofit startup dedicated to creating safe AI systems. In 2018, he was a recipient of the Turing Award, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Computer Science.Cory Doctorow is a novelist, journalist, technology activist and the author of an astonishing number of books, both nonfiction and fiction. Among them: Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It. And the upcoming: The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI.Astra Taylor is a documentary filmmaker, cofounder of the Debt Collective, and a writer. Among her books: Democracy May Not Exist But We'll Miss It When It's Gone, and The People's Platform, which won the American Book Award. Taylor also delivered the 2023 CBC Massey Lectures called The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart.
Why Things Fall Apart he tried and so did she but neither understood the other and that is how things fall apart despite the trying In this episode of The Poet (delayed), I reflect on why some relationships that feel meaningful, beautiful, and deeply connected still fail to hold over time. Using the metaphor of a beautiful building with a weak internal frame, I explore the difference between appearance and foundation—between chemistry and character, connection and structure. I talk about how trust, communication, comprehension, consideration, repair, and boundaries form the unseen architecture of healthy relationships. I also reflect on how many of us become “water”—adapting ourselves to unstable dynamics rather than building an internal structure of our own. More than an episode about romance, this is an honest reflection on friendships, family, self-respect, and the wisdom of learning what can truly hold. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com. My books of poetry are availabe for purchase at Amazon.com ["The Ghost of a Beating Heart", "My Mother Sleeps" and "Haiku Village"]()
This episode of Living Myth begins with the idea that we keep finding ourselves in uncharted waters in terms of the future of the planet and in unmapped territories in terms of human culture. The increasing pressures and uncertainties in the outer world create an inner tension that can only be relieved through a change of awareness coming from within us. In order to avoid overwhelm and find meaningful ways forward, we must tap the deep resources of our souls which can connect us to the timeless roots of imagination and the endless energies of creation. Only imagination can provide the genuine visions we need, while also revealing untapped capacities for healing and renewal. Soul awakens as things seem to fall apart and soul would have us each find our unique part in life's ongoing drama. Yet, the way of the soul requires that we let go of our conventional and collective beliefs and received ideas. As we make more soul we find more moments of wholeness. When there is enough soul in the world, nature and culture can be truly connected and both can be served. Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

If you've ever had something in your business not go as planned and felt like everyone was watching… this episode is your reminder that failure isn't the end, it's the beginning of building something better.In this episode, I'm joined by Frenchie Ferenczi, business strategist, fractional executive, and growth advisor, to talk about what it really looks like to rebuild after public failure and how to create a more sustainable, values-driven business on the other side. Just a few years ago, over 12,000 people wanted her fired. Instead of walking away, she made a bold decision: to stay, rebuild, and create a business that aligned with her life, her values, and her vision for long-term success.We dive into what that season actually looked like, how she stayed grounded in the middle of noise and criticism, and the practical strategies she used to grow again without burnout, hustle, or starting over. We also talk about what it means to build a life-priority business, how to stay close to the money when things feel uncertain, and why reinvention is often the key to sustainable business growth.If you're navigating a hard season, questioning your next move, or craving a simpler, more aligned way to grow—this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Today you'll hear:01:38 – Meet Frenchie Ferenczi and the story behind her public business setback03:38 – What a life-priority business really looks like (and why optionality matters)05:10 – How she structures her schedule to prioritize her kids and real life06:38 – The viral moment that changed everything—and what happened next09:15 – Navigating public criticism and staying grounded in your values12:05 – The mindset shift that helped her rebuild instead of walk away15:20 – Why staying close to the money is critical in uncertain seasons18:45 – Simplifying your business instead of overcomplicating your comeback22:10 – Letting go of your old identity to step into your next level25:30 – The emotional side of rebuilding (and what no one prepares you for)29:05 – How to grow without burning out the second time around32:40 – Building a values-driven, sustainable business after failure36:15 – Redefining success around your life—not just your revenue40:05 – What “peace and profit” actually looks like in real life Connect with Frenchie:Website: https://www.frenchieferenczi.com/Instagram: @frenchie.ferencziFREE Weekly Accountability Check-In: https://join.frenchieferenczi.com/weekly/
When life collapses — the loss, the diagnosis, the heartbreak, the uncertainty — courage looks different.Today we're exploring what real courage looks like when everything falls apart. You'll learn how to stop trying to “fix” pain, how to stay connected to yourself through grief and uncertainty, and why letting go of control is one of the most powerful acts of bravery there is.This isn't about quick positivity or silver linings. It's about the quiet, grounded kind of courage that keeps you moving when nothing makes sense — and how to rebuild with honesty, integrity, and self-trust when the dust finally settles.If you're in a season of change, loss, or upheaval, this conversation will help you find a gentler, more real path forward.

This episode of The To-Do List Chronicles is for the woman who feels like she can't stop working. Because the moment you slow down… it feels like everything might fall apart. No posts → no leads. No stories → no engagement. No work today → no money tomorrow. So you stay “on” all the time. In this episode, we unpack why so many entrepreneurs feel like they can't take their foot off the gas, and how to start building a business that doesn't collapse the moment you rest. We're talking about: • Why your business feels fragile when everything depends on your daily output • The difference between momentum and constant pressure • How to start creating assets that generate attention, leads, and sales even when you're offline • And the deeper belief that often sits underneath the fear of slowing down The goal is to build something strong enough that it keeps working even when you don't.

139 | Why Things Fall Apart Before They Align | Salarah Kacey Starre Manifestation as a Recalibration, Not a Reward SystemHave you ever felt like you're doing all the “right” things - the mindset work, the healing, the visualising, the Law of Attraction practices, only for life to feel like it's falling apart instead of coming together?In this episode of The Salarah K Starre Podcast, manifestation coach UK Salarah Kacey Starre explores why breakdowns, setbacks, and unexpected life changes are often a sign of real alignment unfolding; not failure.This is a deeper look at manifestation beyond surface-level Law of Attraction teachings. Rather than treating manifestation as a reward system, Salarah explains how it often works as an intelligent recalibration process, where old beliefs, fear-based patterns, nervous system survival responses, and outdated life structures are cleared to make space for what's truly aligned.You'll learn:Why manifestation blocks often appear just before growth and expansionThe difference between manifesting from survival mode versus alignmentHow recalibration phases affect relationships, work, health, and identityWhy meaning-making can keep you stuck - and how awareness sets you freeHow to navigate the “in-between” phase without bypassing emotions or losing trustIf you're interested in manifestation, mindset coaching, personal growth, emotional healing, and understanding how the Law of Attraction actually works in real life, especially during challenging transitions; this episode offers reassurance, clarity, and insight to help you through..This conversation is for anyone who feels like life is turning upside down and wants to understand how that very experience may be preparing them for something far more aligned.Thank for being here.

Not every challenge we face involves other people pushing our buttons. Sometimes things just fall apart - like when technical issues derailed my 3-day challenge that over 1,000 people signed up for. In this episode, I share how I used The unSTUCK Method multiple times to move through frustration and disappointment, and how it helped me respond with calm, clarity, and creative solutions instead of breaking down. This is a reminder that this method works for ANY difficult situation you face - whether it's with others, yourself, or just life throwing you curveballs. Get started here: www.shiragura.com
→ 20% off link: https://www.crisisinvesting.com/2026 In today's episode, Doug goes further than most people are willing to go in public: he argues Trump can be charming and effective and still be dangerous—because he doesn't operate from a moral or philosophical center. We dig into the weird split-screen reality where Trump will savage someone in public, then play nice in private… and what that says about the incentives driving this whole moment. If you've been cheering deportations but haven't thought through what a "bag-and-grab" culture becomes when the political winds shift, this conversation is for you. And then we pivot from street-level power to monetary reality—because while the media fixates on the daily outrage cycle, the dollar is quietly bleeding out and metals are screaming something big. Gold is at fresh all-time highs (we talk about $5,280), silver is over $100 (we cite $113), and the public still isn't participating the way a true mania would look. Doug's take: this isn't a "bubble"—it's a new equilibrium forming as central banks dump dollars and reach for the only reserve asset that isn't someone else's liability. The actionable part: we explain why the real asymmetry isn't in the metal—it's in the miners. Our Crisis Investing portfolio is up about 20% in the last month, with individual names up as much as ~65%, and Doug's argument is that the move still hasn't matched what higher metal prices will do to earnings, buybacks, dividends, and ultimately institutional attention. (He repeats the old rule that matters: be right, sit tight.) If you want the exact portfolio, the back issues, and the monthly issues as they drop, this is where you upgrade to a paid subscription to Crisis Investing.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-donald-trump-and-global-disorder-the-unravelling-of-the-old-world-order-has-begun-13970884.htmlThere is a general air of uncertainty in international relations right now, and there is the distinct feeling that the old order changeth. The upheaval is likely to bring difficult times to all of us. The long-predicted end of the “liberal, rules-based international order” seems to be upon us, with a definite fin-de-siecle feeling. The certainties that we have long held on to are no longer reliable.Foremost, of course, is the role of the United States, which bestrode the world like a colossus in the aftermath of the Second World War, and again after the end of the Cold War. Those of us born in the post-war years looked up to America, the “City on the Hill”, the beacon, celebrated in song and film, a cultural anchor in addition to a military and economic superpower.I remember the day my dad walked into the dining room with his newspaper and told us, “Marilyn Monroe is dead”. I was a small boy, and I had no idea who Marilyn Monroe was, but I remember that moment. I vaguely remember the Kennedy assassination. And every month, SPAN magazine brought images of the good life. My father did his PhD on John Steinbeck.Thus, for me and for those of my generation, it was only natural to look up to the US as an exemplar. In college, we used to refer to it, only half-jokingly, as ‘God's own country'. (This was before Amitabh Kant applied this moniker to Kerala, and it stuck). I remember us reading Time and Newsweek in the IIT Madras hostel common room. We read them cover to cover.So it was but natural for us to write the GRE and apply to US universities; and many of us got in, with good scores and good grades. It was relatively easy in the late 1970s. And it was a revelation for us to go to a country that pretty much worked well; the standard of living was quite a bit higher than back at home, where you had to wait 6 years for a phone or a scooter.But fifty years later, things are not the same. The gap in the standard of living between India and the US had narrowed considerably, although the rule of law, clean air and public spaces, and the lack of petty corruption, plus the tendency to stick to the letter of agreements (ok, I grant that Trump may be an exception) are all still much more prevalent in the US.What has happened, though, is the relative decline of the US in almost every way. Take research. Or manufacturing. Or popular culture. Others are narrowing the gap steadily. Or take the streets of, say, San Francisco. The pristine, well kept streets I encountered when I first moved there are now in shambles, sometimes covered in human feces, with homeless people and needles all over the place.The US, and it hurts me to say this, as I am an unabashed Americophile (if that's a word), over-extended itself through unnecessary wars and unwise crusades which the Deep State promoted for self-preservation, but which in fact turned out to be counterproductive.As I wrote recently in relation the Venezuela gamble, the US may well be following in the footsteps of other countries that once held the reserve currency, but fell into a trifecta of excessive debt, reduced core competence, complacency and overextension.The resulting retreat into “Fortress America” as outlined in the National Security Strategy, as well as the unabashed pursuit of American interests at the expense of allies and friends, is causing everything to fall apart, as in W B Yeats' warning.The reaction of the US's closest allies to various Trump diktats has been instructive. Europeans and the British applauded when Trump chose to peremptorily remove President Maduro from Venezuela and make a play for that nation's massive oil reserves. But when he began in earnest to pursue Greenland, there were loud protests from some parts of NATO.That alliance appears to be crumbling as Trump, not unreasonably, suggests that Europeans need to pay for their own security, instead of expecting the US to finance it forever. Also, despite the appearance of a land-grab, Greenland has a trade and security rationale: as the Arctic Sea becomes more ice-free due to climate change, the fabled Northwest Passage and other trade routes open up, China is already ready for its own land-grab with its “Polar Silk Road”.Here's a tweet from Ken Noriyasu of the Nikkei, highlighting future trade routes:But the threat to Denmark's territorial integrity, in case Greenland opts to join the US, has rattled NATO members. Threats of escalating tariffs (10–25%) on Denmark and other NATO allies have sparked outrage. Joint Nordic/European statements reaffirm sovereignty; U.S. rhetoric treats it as a strategic necessity (Arctic resources, China/Russia competition). This treats allies as transactional subordinates, eroding NATO cohesion.The end of NATO would be a seismic shift, but I have long argued that Western Europe should bury its hatchet with Russia, because their real long-term foe is China, which has its eye on Siberia on the one hand, and Europe's entire industrial might on the other.There is more: Ongoing wars (Ukraine, Middle East), tariff wars, alliance strains, and rising “spheres of influence” logic. Davos 2026 panels describe it as the “last-chance saloon” for the old order. UN Secretary-General Guterres warns leaders are “running roughshod over international law.” Think tanks (Brookings, Stimson) call it an interregnum: the liberal order is dying, no coherent replacement has emerged, and “monsters” fill the vacuum. Is “some rough beast” slouching towards Bethlehem to be born, as in the apocalyptic prophecy?What will rise from the ruins of the old world order? We can only wonder, as there are several possible answers:* Transactionalist multipolarity. Great powers (U.S., China, India, EU/Russia bloc) negotiate deals based on leverage, not universal rules. Might means right, backed by economic coercion or force.* Fragmented regional orders. Spheres where dominant powers set norms (U.S. in Americas/Arctic, China in Indo-Pacific, Russia near its borders, if there is a rapprochement with the EU). I have long predicted spheres of influence in the wake of what I see as a G2 condominium between the US and China.* No-rules world (worst case). Rising impunity, more unilateral interventions, eroded deterrence, potential for cascading crises. We are already beginning to see this with China's unilateral land- and sea-grabs (e.g. the “nine-dash” line).2025 was an annus horribilis. 2026 is shaping up to be worse. None of the above scenarios is good for India, especially as it is beginning to get its manufacturing in order, at what appears to be exactly the wrong time, as tariff wars abound.By the looks of it, 2026 will be worse for all concerned. Centrifugal forces are going to tear up globalism, and a narrow nationalism may not bode well for anybody.The AI-generated podcast from notebookLM.google.com is at:1650 words, 19th Jan 2026 This is a public episode.

What do you stand on when clarity doesn't calm your fear, and life begins to unravel?In this message from John 16:25–33, Jesus speaks to His disciples on the eve of the cross—not with sentimental comfort or vague optimism, but with unshakable certainty. As He prepares them for betrayal, suffering, and scattering, Jesus anchors their hearts in three enduring realities: they are loved by the Father, held by the Son, and safe in the end.This sermon explores how Jesus moves His disciples from confusion to confidence, not by minimizing the hardship ahead, but by revealing the finished work, sovereign authority, and eternal security found in Him. We consider what it means to “take heart” in a world marked by tribulation, and why Christian peace is not rooted in circumstances, strength, or clarity—but in the victorious Christ who has overcome the world.Whether you're walking through fear, loss, uncertainty, or simply wondering where real peace can be found, this message calls us to rest not in ourselves, but in the One who came from the Father, entered our broken world, went to the cross on purpose, and now reigns in power.When things fall apart, the gospel reminds us: you are not.

Happy Halloween folks! We hope you get to enjoy all the spiced beverages and sugared finger foods that your heart desires. And we especially hope that you have a great costume that embodies part of your persona that typically stays buried deep down for the rest of the year, only to be unleashed every year on the ultimate day of October.To celebrate this allowance of inner truth, we decided that It's Probin' Time! Rob cracks open the dusty encyclopedias to give us a history lesson on costumes. More specifically, one type of costume… Even more specifically, one type of costume that is worn year round, and that some may find it insulting that I am calling it a “costume” rather than its real name: a fursuit.That's right.

It's time to step outside your literary neighborhood! This episode is a celebration of the human spirit as seen through the lens of world literature. Host Danny takes you on a tour across the globe, sharing ideas and excerpts from diverse works to highlight two incredible truths: that our core human experiences are strikingly similar, and that our cultural expressions of them are endlessly fascinating. From the magical realism of Latin America to the postcolonial voices of Africa, this journey will expand your world and your reading list. In this episode, we'll take a tour of: Asia:Explore the tension between tradition and modernity with Japan's The Tale of Genji and the surrealism of Haruki Murakami, and witness the resilience of the human spirit in China's To Live. Latin America:Dive into the world of Magical Realism with Colombia's Gabriel García Márquez and explore the feminist family sagas of Chile's Isabel Allende. Africa:Understand the power of the oral tradition and the legacy of colonialism through Nigeria's foundational novel Things Fall Apart and the intimate feminism of Senegal's So Long a Letter. The Middle East & Europe:Glimpse the mystical poetry of Rumi, the sprawling social realism of Egypt's Naguib Mahfouz, and see how these traditions are in constant conversation.

Things Fall Apart (The African Trilogy, #1) By: Chinua Achebe Published: 1958 209 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? The main character is Okonkwo, and saying that he's complicated is to put it mildly. He's desperately afraid of failure, which in his case means following in the footsteps of his father. On top of the complexity of Okonkwo there's the additional complexity and richness of the Igbo culture: its customs, its gods, its method of delivering justice, etc. Into this rich and (for me) strange world, the Europeans arrive. Though not till around the 2/3rd mark. The consequences are perhaps not as bad as you might fear, but they're bad enough. Who should read this book? I quite enjoyed the book, and it was certainly different from my normal fare. Also it reads quickly. Finally, it's widely regarded as a modern classic. I'm not sure I have a good reason why you wouldn't read this book. Specific thoughts: The flattening of colonialism
