If you've lived in the United States for a long time, you probably know that when someone tells you a doctor is “out of network,” that's important, or that having health insurance doesn't necessarily mean your healthcare is free.But how did you learn all of that? There's nothing particularly intuitive about it.Now imagine arriving in the United States from a country where healthcare works very differently. You're given an insurance card, a link to a website and, if you're lucky, a short orientation on healthcare terminology.This is often not enough in times of crisis, leading Akshata Balghare to investigate how much of the difficulty of navigating this system comes from the system itself… and how much comes from the way we explain it.

There are a lot of rich and powerful people in Silicon Valley who have said some strange things about democracy.It would be easy to dismiss some of this as tech entrepreneurs doing what tech entrepreneurs have always done: dreaming about moving fast and breaking stuff, and making enormous claims about the future.But the journalist Gil Durán thinks that dismissing all of this as blather would be a mistake.In his new book, The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy, Durán argues that these ideas actually belong to an emerging political ideology — one that has moved from obscure books and blogs into some of the most powerful institutions in the United States.

We tend to think that using something until it wears out is good for the planet. But what do we do if the thing we're using up and wearing out is damaging our environment along the way? When does getting rid of something that still works become the more sustainable choice?

Steve and Bobby recapped the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Rams and reported on the team's recent transactions. The guys spoke to WWL listeners about the Saints' preseason, GM Mickey Loomis, and the team's early-season schedule.

You get home from work. You'd promised yourself that tonight was the night — the side hustle, the gym, the thing you keep pushing to tomorrow.And you don't do it.Then the self-talk starts. Lazy. Undisciplined. Maybe you're not motivated enough!Nothing is wrong with you. What happens to you at 6 PM isn't a character flaw — it's a resource running out. And once you know which one, you stop blaming yourself for the wrong problem entirely.In this episode, I go past the diagnosis and into what I actually do about it: the first side hustle I built while working a full-time advertising job, the one belief that quietly kills most online businesses before they even start, and the three hygiene habits I've protected for years.Fair warning: these may help you start working on your goals that you've been putting off!Want help staying consistent?

We all know politicians, advertisers and social media algorithms are trying to influence what we believe. But what about our own brains? How do we know when our beliefs are helping us, and when we're instead engaged in a form of inner propaganda? And how can we use this knowledge to our advantage?

When wildfire threatens a community, what determines who makes it out safely? Emergency managers, firefighters, and weather all play critical roles, but so do the choices we make before and during an evacuation. After three decades of studying fast-moving fires, University of Utah researcher Tom Cova explains what he has learned about preparation, quick decisions, and why neighbors helping neighbors can save lives.

When we think about cancer, we tend to think about what doctors can do. But what about what patients can do? How much of that is hope? How much of it is science?

I nearly fell off the reformer. I was mid-Pilates class listening to David Epstein on Modern Wisdom when he said something so back to front I had to hear it twice: if you want to be more creative, don't give yourself more freedom. Give yourself fewer options. And then he explained why - and it cracked open something I've been teaching for years without ever having the words for it. So I went down a rabbit hole. If that's true, what else is? What else are we doing, with completely good intentions, that's quietly the very thing keeping us stuck? I found three things. They sound wrong. They feel backwards. They're absolutely, provably true. In this episode: The bet that produced one of the bestselling children's books of all time - and what it tells you about the thing you keep not starting Why 95% of us think we're self-aware, only 10–15% are, and the one word you're using that's keeping you in the wrong 85% The 2009 study that suggests announcing your goal can make you less likely to do it - and the crucial exception that changes everything The difference between support and accountability (they're not the same thing, and one of them is letting you off the hook) Three questions to ask before you do anything else this week If you've been circling the same idea for two years, this one's for you.  Ready to shrink the fuzzy thing into something you can actually start?

The ocean takes up roughly 70% of the planet, but we still don't know too much about everything that is out there. Most ocean life is very small, and tends to change based on the ocean's conditions. So even if you took a sample of ocean water right now, there's really no guarantee that it would resemble a sample taken later.A recent study by Sarah Tucker and her team offers some direction for filling in that gap.

Since the 1700s we have described this condition in the language of character. Lazy. Undisciplined. Careless. As recently as 2023, an Australian parliamentary inquiry heard the same words still follow people through their lives. Lindy Hadges explains why a condition that sits in the brain attracts shame that an identical shortfall in the pancreas never would, and what happens the moment someone stops believing the story they were told about themselves.

Twenty years ago, Richard Louv helped us begin to think differently about childhood and nature.Now, he's asking a related but perhaps even more provocative question: what happens when we really notice the world around us? What do we experience in terms of attention, awe, loss, and what it means to love a very complex world?

I explain why discipline is the foundation of everything. When there are no standards, no expectations, and no correction for deviation, behavior becomes random and results become unstable. I've seen how consistent discipline creates structure, while the absence of discipline creates chaos, whether in a family, a team, or an organization. In this episode, I break down why discipline is not just about having rules, but about consistently enforcing them so people know what is expected and what happens when standards are ignored.

For years, comedy thrived on cynicism. The world was a mess, people were selfish, and anyone who believed otherwise was the punchline.But from Ted Lasso, to Paddington, to Come From Away, some of our most beloved stories are finding humor, heart, and even heroism in empathy, earnestness, and human decency.This summer, Lyric Repertory Company is producing Gutenberg! The Musical! It's a delightfully ridiculous show about two aspiring theater makers who are convinced they have created a masterpiece. They haven't, but their unwavering enthusiasm is part of what makes the show so charming.And it's not the only production in Lyric's season that seems interested in the power of human decency.

In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked traits behind lasting success: self-control. High value individuals understand that talent, intelligence, and even great opportunities mean very little if a person cannot manage their impulses. Throughout history we have seen powerful men build extraordinary careers, only to watch everything collapse because of one weakness. The common thread is not a lack of ability, but a lack of discipline. This conversation takes a thoughtful look at the pattern that high value individuals recognize early. When someone is constantly chasing validation, especially through attention and distractions, it signals a deeper issue. Discipline is the foundation of trust. If a person cannot manage their personal impulses, it raises serious questions about how they will handle money, responsibility, confidential information, and pressure. We discuss real-world examples where leaders with enormous success and influence allowed impulse to override logic, and how those decisions created consequences that reshaped their careers and reputations. These examples serve as reminders that discipline protects everything we build. Without it, even the most successful individuals can put their achievements at risk. The episode also focuses on how high-value individuals evaluate character before forming partnerships. Successful leaders pay attention to patterns in conversation, priorities, and behavior. They understand that long-term success requires surrounding yourself with people who demonstrate focus, loyalty, and strong internal discipline. Charisma can attract attention, but character sustains trust. Listeners will gain insight into the mindset that successful individuals use when choosing partners, protecting opportunities, and building relationships that support long-term growth. We explore the importance of guarding your reputation, protecting your focus, and choosing discipline over distraction. This episode ultimately encourages listeners to reflect on the role self-control plays in their own lives. Discipline strengthens leadership, protects opportunity, and builds a foundation for lasting success. When you develop strong internal boundaries and surround yourself with people who operate with the same level of discipline, you create an environment where trust, growth, and meaningful achievement can thrive.Check us out -  Instagram and Twitter: JeroldJax Facebook:  Jerold Action Jackson and Zone Of ActionJeroldJackson.comHappiness starts with you.

In the United States, we tend to celebrate people who pick a destination, set a goal, believe in themselves, and refuse to quit until they get exactly where they always knew they'd be.But real life is messier than that. Dreams change. and sometimes careers stall — we get relegated to something less than what we dreamed of.That's what happened to Todd Smith, a part-time sports writer and full-time landscape supplier.Then he found himself watching an English football match between a billion-dollar giant and a club that most people, even in England, have never heard of, and he fell down a rabbit hole.

If one of the most important roles of science fiction is that it makes unfamiliar ideas emotionally legible, what are the ideas that we need to be reading about right now?

A few years back, we had David Sinclair on the program. David is one of the world's top researchers working on the question of whether we can extend human lifespans.A couple years after that, Nate Price was with us. Nate is also looking at this question, though from a different angle: he wants to know how we can pack more healthy years into the lifespans we already have.But here on the program, we find ourselves returning to another version of that same question: what does it actually mean to lengthen a life?Brett Popplewell has been thinking about that too — about whether a life can feel longer not only through years added, but through attention, novelty, memory, movement, and the refusal to let the days become interchangeable.

Wisdom in an Undisciplined World | Ecclesiastes 10 Valleydale Church

There is no denying it: A.I. has changed higher education, and teachers are trying to catch up — to figure out how to live in this new world, and how to make learning meaningful.Stephen Aguilar studies how emerging technologies shape teaching, learning, and motivation. He's also co-leading work at the USC center for generative A.I. and society, which just released a new report examining how students and teachers are actually using artificial intelligence in real classrooms.

Scott Simon has spent a lifetime telling other people's stories on national public radio. But every now and then, along the way, he's found reasons to tell the stories of the animals with whom we share this world, and he's collected those stories, and more, in his latest book.

In this episode, I'm breaking down a hard truth a lot of people avoid:You're not inconsistent… you're undisciplined.Most women already know what they need to do to see results — whether it's in the gym, their routine, or their overall lifestyle. The real issue isn't lack of information, it's lack of structure and consistency.I talk about why relying on motivation keeps you stuck, how constantly “starting over” is slowing your progress, and what it actually takes to build a routine that works long-term.This episode is for anyone ready to stop making excuses, lock in, and finally see real results.

In workplaces everywhere, the most engaged employees often become the go-to for extra work. It feels logical, but management scholar Sangah Bae believes that instinct might be backfiring — a lot. Her recent work shows that intrinsically motivated workers are disproportionately assigned additional tasks, often at a cost to their performance, satisfaction, and long-term retention. The reason isn't just that they're capable—it's that managers assume they'll actually enjoy the extra work.

For decades, the case against industrial animal farming has been framed as a moral one—and it hasn't slowed consumption. As countries grow wealthier, meat consumption rises right along with them. But according to Bruce Friedrich, a different kind of change is now underway. From plant-based meat to cultivated proteins, a technological shift may be emerging—one that could make animal farming obsolete, not because people changed their minds, but because the system changed around them.

Jani Radebaugh, a planetary scientist at Brigham Young University, has spent her career studying the landscapes of other worlds — and for decades, that work has depended on images and data sent back by robotic missions. Now, as humans re-enter deep space, she's asking a different question: What changes when we see these worlds with our own eyes?

This winter's snow drought may leave a mark that lasts for centuries. Justin DeRose, a dendrochronologist and assistant professor of silviculture and applied forest ecology at Utah State University, says trees across the West are already recording the story of climate in their rings — wet years, dry years, fire years, and sometimes years so harsh they leave almost no growth at all. And as drought years begin stacking up closer and closer together, those forests may be telling us something important about how fast the West is changing.

For years, many people have assumed that climate change will send massive waves of “climate refugees” across borders around the world. But Jan Freihardt, a political scientist at ETH Zurich, says the reality is far more complicated. Studying communities along the Jamuna River in Bangladesh—where floods and erosion regularly destroy homes and farmland—Freihardt has followed families trying to decide whether to stay, move a little, or start over somewhere else. Distant migration is the option of last resort — and often not an option at all.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Andrew Hoekwater from Grand Rapids, MI. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 9:27. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. — 1 Corinthians 9:27 Paul ends this chapter with a warning that is both personal and piercing. He is not worried about losing his salvation. He is worried about undermining the gospel he proclaims. Paul knows something every generation must relearn: truth can be preached accurately and still be discredited by an undisciplined life. When the messenger contradicts the message, the message suffers. That is why Paul disciplines himself. Not to earn grace. Not to appear righteous. But to ensure his life does not sabotage his words. History gives us sobering examples. Gifted communicators. Trusted leaders. Global platforms. And private compromises left undisciplined. For example, the exposure of Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias revealed patterns of horrific sexual misconduct that shattered trust and disoriented countless family members, employees, and believers. When private compromise goes unchecked, the message inevitably suffers. The moral failure of Christian author Philip Yancey through adultery disrupted his ministry and weakened the confidence many had placed in his teaching. The collapse of leaders like megachurch pastor Bill Hybels showed how blurred relational boundaries, when ignored, quietly erode integrity long before consequences become public. These stories are not shared to shame. They are warnings. None of these men lacked gifting. None lacked opportunity. What failed was discipline—private restraint that protects public witness. Paul refuses to let that happen to him. He understands that preaching without practice is spiritual malpractice, that authority without accountability breeds deception, and that charisma without character eventually collapses. This is not just a warning for pastors or public leaders. It applies to parents teaching their children. Christians speaking into cultural chaos. Believers posting, debating, and representing Christ every day. Undisciplined lives don't stay private. They preach. And when they do, they preach a distorted gospel. Paul's resolve is clear: the gospel is too valuable to be undermined by his own lack of restraint. Discipline is not optional—it is protective. The message deserves a messenger whose life aligns with the truth he proclaims. DO THIS: Identify one area of your private life where discipline would strengthen the credibility of your public witness. ASK THIS: Where might inconsistency be quietly weakening my testimony? What disciplines would guard my integrity over the long haul? Who has permission to speak honestly into my life? PRAY THIS: Lord, guard my heart and train my habits. Give me the discipline to live what I proclaim, so my life strengthens—not undermines—the gospel. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Jesus, Have It All."

In 2011, an EF-5 tornado ripped through Joplin, Missouri, claiming 161 lives. Almost immediately researchers like Marc Levitan, from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, began working to understand why it was so devastating. The results of that investigation are now being implemented into building codes around the world. And the result is that we're more ready for the next huge twister.

We've long found different ways to explain that the world is made up of haves and have-nots. We live in the developed world or the developing world. There are those who are advantaged and those who are disadvantaged. And then, of course, there's the one percent and everyone else. But under global warming, the climate journalist Jeff Goodell thinks, there may be a new way of describing this dichotomy: The cooled and the cooked.

Is the greatest existential threat our species has ever faced really something to joke about? Aaron Sachs thinks so. And, in fact, he thinks that, in many cases, we're not joking about it enough.

Episode #498: Caleb, a research coordinator with the Myanmar-based research group Myanography, argues that participation in the military's 2025–2026 election functioned less as a democratic exercise than as a survival mechanism for civilians living under junta rule. In his view, it reflected fear, coercion, and uncertainty, and turnout figures cannot be understood outside that context. For the first time in Myanmar's history, a national election was divided across three dates—December 28, 2025, January 11, 2026, and January 25, 2026—while large parts of the country were excluded because they were not under military control. Myanography monitored 16 locations across 12 states and regions through community-based field research. Across these sites, Caleb identifies patterns of intimidation, administrative manipulation, and ongoing armed conflict shaping participation. Even before voting began, residents faced pressure. Officials reminded members of the Civil Disobedience Movement that their names remained on record and noted that family members were eligible for military conscription. Rumors spread that abstention could trigger retaliation. Voting slips were distributed selectively, and voter lists contained omissions and inaccuracies. Turnout varied sharply. In Haka, the capital of Chin State, participation was extremely low. In other areas, roughly one-third voted, often strategically. One resident explained, “I just pressed the buttons for the other parties… because I was only focused on avoiding the lion and the green,” referring to symbols of the military-aligned Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP). With no meaningful campaign period, limited information, and confusion between similarly named parties, many voters lacked clarity about their options. Conflict further destabilized the process. In Mudon and Langkho Townships, explosions, drone attacks, and heavy military deployments accompanied voting. In Mandalay, residents were warned that if the indelible ink mark used for election control was not visible on someone's finger, they could well be repercussions. For Caleb, the election's phased structure, restricted access, and atmosphere of fear reveal its function: not democratic choice, but the reinforcement of military control.
