A good story takes you on an emotional journey, with ups and downs along the way. Thanks to science, we can quantify that. Peter Dodds works on understanding the structure of stories and other strings of words (including Twitter) by analyzing the valence of individual words, then studying how they are strung together in different kinds of stories. Understanding these structures offers powerful insight into how people communicate and how to reach them.

I'm so confused.It was just a decade ago that we were being told that society needed to evolve and understand that women can compete with men physically in sports. It was time to drop female leagues and just have leagues in which boys and girls, men and women, would all play together and against one another. From golf to football this has been the cry for years.Michelle Wie and Annika Sorenstam both played in PGA men's tournaments (and did terribly) and we were told that they could absolutely go toe-to-toe against men driving the ball more than a hundred yards further than them. We needed to grow up as a society.As of 2018, there were over 2400 girls in America playing tackle football with and against boys, and of the more than 4 million kids aged 6 to 12 playing baseball this year 100,000 of them are girls. And this, we're told is how it should be. How dare we exclude girls from “male,” sports and thereby insinuate or, worse, say out loud that females are built differently than males and simply don't have the same biological makeup and structure and therefore simply cannot compete physically against them. https://operations.nfl.com/gameday/analytics/stats-articles/more-girls-are-playing-tackle-football/https://www.ajc.com/sports/girls-play-baseball-boys-world/mtB1sMA8ruRQXS5dEviq0I/Just last year, Haley Van Voorhis became the first woman to play college football at a position other than kicker when she played Defensive Back At Shenandoah University https://www.su.edu/blog/2021/09/29/shes-got-game-haley-van-voorhis-making-history-as-defensive-back-at-shenandoah-university/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/02/02/haley-van-voorhis-woman-college-football/As recently as 2020, articles were aplenty with arguments such as “Girls should be able to play the same sports as boys. No matter how strong or how much tougher boys are it doesn't mean that girls can't be the same way,” and “girls are just the same as boys,” and even the argument that “Girls' learning systems are faster and they care more about what they are working on…that proves that girls are definitely able to learn the sports that boys play.” That last one is a brilliant counter-argument to the “physical differences,” rationalization in that it almost cedes the point that females are not equal to males physically, and instead says that they can overcome that with their intellect and discipline. https://students4sc.org/2020/08/18/why-girls-should-be-allowed-to-play-the-same-sports-as-boys/So, for more than a decade the case has been made on a variety of levels how and why males and females can and should compete against one another head-to-head when it comes to sports. Many toxically masculine men find this to be an unwarranted and unwanted intrusion and they are told to sit down, shut up, and get with the times.And yet, when women are the ones who are intruded on, their tune sure changes. Thus, my confusion.Front and center this week has been the story of Lia Thomas, a collegiate swimmer who is demolishing her competition and shattering NCAA records as she literally swims laps around all of the other women in college swimming.This is a problem.Why, you ask? Is it some silly “woke” thing about how unfair it is that one person is better than another, like when everyone screams if a basketball team beats another by 100 points? Not exactly.Is it that she's taking performance-enhancing drugs, giving her an unfair advantage? Not quite.The problem with Lia Thomas is that she was born a biological male. She's a transgender female. Thomas previously competed as a man at the University of Pennsylvania for two seasons, but she started her transition in May 2019 with hormone replacement therapy. And then came out to her teammates in the fall of 2019 while competing on the men's team.NCAA rules state that transgender players must be on testosterone suppressants for at least one year before they can compete as women. Thomas has been on an ongoing regimen of estrogen and testosterone blockers, and thus is now competing as a woman. In other words, she's not merely “identifying,” as a female, she's in the process of changing her body and appearance. Now, this should be a nothing burger based on all of the arguments that we've had screamed at us for the past many years. After all, while it's true that Thomas was born in a male body, it's already been established that “girls are just the same as boys,” (other than the fact that girls are much better at learning), and thus Thomas' competitors should welcome her and simply figure out how to outsmart her and/or accept the fact that regardless of how she was born, boys and girls are the same.Except, that's not even close to what is happening.A brief pause; I have no position on this. In fact, I'm quite literally beyond bewildered as to how we should, as a society, be handling sports as it relates to people transitioning from one gender to another. I understand arguments on both sides of the debate and waver back and forth as though I'm one of those wavy guy air dancers at a car lot. My fascination with this particular story, and others like it, is the pure, unadulterated hypocrisy of the arguments being made.We had this same debate a year ago over a transgender female bodybuilder named Laurel Hubbard being allowed to compete in the Summer Olympics, and the same objections were made then as are being made now…and they completely contradict everything we've been told about males competing against females. https://www.npr.org/sections/tokyo-olympics-live-updates/2021/08/02/1023724506/trans-weightlifter-laurel-hubbard-tokyo-olympicsFor example, Cynthia Millen, who officiated USA Swimming meets for three decades, stepped down in protest of Thomas being allowed to swim against girls saying, “the fact is that swimming is a sport in which bodies compete against bodies. Identities do not compete against identities…men are different from women, men swimmers are different from women, and they will always be faster than women.” https://canoe.com/sports/its-horrible-transgender-swimmer-lia-thomas-destroying-sport-says-official/wcm/196f2a1c-403d-4a74-a789-6797fbd823eaOh my…imagine if she would have said that were the story to be about a biologically born woman wanting to compete against biologically born men…she would have been canceled! She went even further…“Boys will always have larger lung capacity, larger hearts, greater circulation, a bigger skeleton, and less fat…and no matter how much testosterone suppression drugs (s)he takes, (s)he will always be a biological male and have the advantage.”I am not here to debate her on the merits of her argument as it relates to transitioning, nor do I appreciate Millen being so classless that she refuses to even use Thomas' preferred pronoun. The audacity is in the brazen use of the very same set of arguing points that has been used in reverse to justify females competing against males.She's far from alone, too. No less than Caitlyn Jenner has weighed in with essentially the same logic:“We need to protect women's sports,” Jenner said, “She was born a biological boy, she was raised as a biological boy. Her cardiovascular system is bigger, her respiratory system is bigger, her hands are bigger, she can swim faster. That's a known.” https://edmontonsun.com/sports/other-sports/woke-world-not-working-caitlyn-jenner-speaks-out-against-trans-swimmer-lia-thomasSorry, ladies…you can't have it both ways.Either female bodies can compete equally with male bodies or they cannot. Which, again, is not me weighing in on transgender transitions and how it does or doesn't alter the body, but rather is a commentary using their premise; people, a lot of people, mostly women, are arguing, as was just demonstrated by Caitlyn Jenner, that transgender females have superior athletic bodies in a variety of ways as a result of having been born biologically male. Anyone who made that argument previously was a misogynist. Yet now that women are losing left and right to a biologically born male swimmer, seemingly everyone is coming out of the woodwork to scream from the rooftops that men are superior physically, even on Thomas' own team! The father of a UPenn swimmer says his daughter and 'a good number' of teammates are furious and 'crying on the pool deck' because feel they can no longer compete fairly with trans swimmer Lia Thomas on their team. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10427265/Parent-UPenn-swimmer-says-daughter-angry-lost-spots-races-Lia-Thomas.htmlIt's so bad that a member of the University of Pennsylvania's women's swim team claimed that Thomas, her own teammate, deliberately lost a race last week to a transgender competitor, conspiring with Yale swimmer Iszac Henig, a biological female, prior to a meet, to prove men aren't always stronger. Thus, the very argument that has been shoved down our throats as a justification for women playing tackle football, baseball, and anything else they want with and against men, is ignored and deemed to be part of a grand conspiracy. https://dailycaller.com/2022/01/20/penn-swimmer-alleges-transgender-teammate-purposely-lost-transgender-opponent/None of this even begins to touch on how stunning it is that somehow, America's national feminist movement has found a way to actually become more despicable by totally abandoning trans females…but I digress…that's for a whole other soapbox.This singular argument over transgender women and women sports has laid bare, yet again, how selfish, vapid, and meaningless almost all of these “causes,” are. Women playing men's sports under the guise of “equality,” has been destroyed by those who had been advocating for it now arguing against transgender women using the very objections that have been made against them as their reasoning. That's it…game over. No more of this.And what of all of these woke supporters of trans people? What does it say about their resolve when the first thing they see upon hearing this debate is the need to “choose a side?” Boy, that's who you want covering you when you're heading into battle, isn't it?In the end, I don't have an answer, I have an observation. There's an absolutely stupid and meaningless piece of symbolism known as The Doomsday Clock which is supposed to represent the likelihood of a man-made global catastrophe. It's a dopey part of the radical environmentalism movement, but the premise gives me an idea. We need a crumble clock to tell us theoretically how many figurative minutes or seconds we are from completely collapsing as a society. In 2019, I'd have set it to 5 minutes to midnight. After 2020, we were at 2 minutes, and after 2021, 1 minute left. With our reaction to this debate, we just clicked a few seconds closer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today on Mushroom Hour we have the incredible opportunity to speak with Integrated Land Enhancement found Leif Olson. A native of the western North Carolina mountains, Leif grew up with a deep sense of connection and appreciation for nature.  Early on this relationship was primarily through a creative and imaginative lens, but after over a decade of researching and working in ecology, chemistry, mycology, landscaping and sustainable agriculture he now works to study and improve the natural world with an interdisciplinary approach. After receiving a Bachelor's of Science in Ecology from University of California at Santa Cruz and a Master of Environmental Management in Ecotoxicology at Duke University, Leif spent the following years becoming versed in the rapidly emerging fields of applied mycology and soil biology.  Though it may be unbeknownst to many, we are currently living in a renaissance of knowledge for understanding the processes and interconnectivity of nature. What a great opportunity to learn from a hands-on expert about how we can leverage our emerging understanding of plants, fungi, microorganisms, nutrients, water and more to enhance the resiliency, fertility and productivity of our landscapes.

Chloë Agnew is a singer, songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. From the age of 14, she gained fame for her integral part as one of the original (and youngest) members of the internationally acclaimed music group Celtic Woman. In 1998 Chloë won the Grand Prix at the First International Children's Song Competition in Cairo, Egypt, where she represented Ireland. She made her PBS début in 1999 as part of Handel's Messiah performing alongside Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Roger Daltrey and Aidan Quinn. In 2004 Chloë had just finished recording her second solo album ‘Walking in the Air' when she was cast as one of the original soloists for the PBS production Celtic Woman. The Celtic Woman PBS Special first aired in March 2005 and within weeks the group's eponymous debut album reached #1 on Billboard's World Music chart where it held the top position on the Billboard World Music chart for 81 weeks. Their second album, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration knocked their first album to the #2 spot on the World Music chart when released in October 2006. Chloë is featured on a total of 14 of Celtic Woman's albums, with songs recorded in English, Irish, Latin, Japanese, Italian and German which have sold more than eight million copies worldwide, all of which debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Music chart. Celtic Woman sold-out concerts in prestigious venues across the globe from Carnegie Hall, Red Rocks, Colorado, Radio City Music Hall to several Arenas in Europe, Japan and Australia, performing for almost three million fans. She has performed with Celtic Woman on the US TV shows Dancing with the Stars, Regis and Kelly, The Today Show and Good Morning America and many more. In 2013 Chloë made a guest appearance on the show ‘Bold and the Beautiful.

Since 2017 Chloë has been touring with top Irish artist Nathan Carter on his U.S. tours and for the past four seasons has been the headline act for the highly acclaimed and always innovative Atlanta Pops Orchestra. The popular show ‘An Irish Heart,” as well as their holiday shows have taken Chloë and the Pops to performing arts centers throughout the Southeast and Midwest. She has become a ‘Voice of the Irish' for the University of Notre Dame performing for many events at the University including opening for the band Chicago at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Party in Dallas, Texas where she performed a song with the legendary group. She has also performed with IBMA award winning bluegrass Entertainer of the Year Balsam Range and John Driskell Hopkins of Zac Brown Band.

When Herald Chen was growing up in a town not far from Pittsburg, he dreamed of someday running the small town's steel mill. Years later when he was graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, the steel mill no longer occupied Chen's maturing career aspirations. “My two job offers were to either go make soap for Procter & Gamble at a manufacturing plant in Baltimore or go to Wall Street,“ remembers Chen, who adds that the offers for the seemingly different jobs came as a result of having graduated from UPenn's Management and Technology program—a curriculum that offered a dual degree in engineering and finance. Chen chose Wall Street and in 1995 landed at KKR, the private equity firm that had feasted on leveraged buyouts in 1970s and 1980s. Recalls Chen: “I had a front row seat for meeting many CEOs and CFOs and invested behind a couple dozen of them, so I learned a lot about what the good, the bad, and the ugly look like in these companies.”   Twenty-seven years later, KKR can arguably be seen to have been the mother ship of Chen's finance career, a place that over time he would leave and then return to as the investment house provided him with the wherewithal to open new professional chapters—the longest being from 2007 to 2019, when he headed KKR's Technology, Media, and Telecom practice. Along the way, Chen demonstrated a rapport with C-suite members and company boards that distinguished him from other investors, a trait that led to a growing number of invitations to sit on different company boards. “I had figured out that I wanted to be building businesses, but I also knew that I wasn't the smartest or brightest or most charismatic person in the room, so maybe the best way for me wasn't actually sitting in the CEO seat but instead was investing and sitting on boards and helping CEOs,” comments Chen, who has held a number of board seats, as well as served as board chair for such companies as Internet Brands/WebMD, Optiv, Epicor, BMC Software, and Mitchell International.  With a boardroom track record that few of his CFO peers can match, Chen attributes his success in part to being a good listener.  “I would invest behind CEOs and CFOs whom others just didn't understand—they just didn't comprehend what these people were trying to do—because I would find that I could create a lot of value with them just by taking a little extra time to hear them through,” remarks Chen. When asked to offer advice for CFOs seeking to lower the temperature of certain boardroom discussions, Chen shares a story involving notable KKR financier Henry Kravis: “When I was at KKR, I made a mistake in some of the numbers one time. It was late in the transaction, at the point where on Wall Street you'd expect to get yelled at and there would be this big blowup—but I remember Henry Kravis just getting very calm and saying, ‘Hey, we'll get through this and come out the other side.'” –Jack Sweeney

High up in the peaks of the Himalayas, a footprint in the snow baffles a mountaineer as he attempts to climb Everest for the first time. Pulling out his camera, he prepares to snap a shot, eyeing the horizon nervously before placing his icepick down alongside the print for scale and bringing the viewfinder up to his eye. In India, a tea planter reads about the photograph in a local newspaper and turns over the idea of going to hunt the creature that made the tracks, completely unaware that he was about to start what would eventually become a lifelong mission. On the other side of the world, a Texas oil baron reads about tales of adventure high up in the mountains of Nepal, a mystical land of incense and meditation, and dreams of uncovering the mysteries of the wilds. The trio was, it's safe to say, a fairly unlikely crew, but their fates would become intimately linked by a search that would carry them halfway around the world, hole up in damp caves for days on end and pull off one of the most unusual heists in all of history. It was a search for a myth, a symbol and a monster. It was a search for the Yeti.   SOURCES   Coleman, Loren (2002) Tom Slick: True Life Encounters in Cryptozoology.

The effects of the Tonga eruption could be felt around the world, many heard the boom of a sonic shock, and tsunami waves travelled far and wide. Volcanologist Shane Cronin from the University of Auckland in New Zealand is one of only a handful of people to have landed on the tiny islands above the volcano where the eruption took place. Those islands have now sunk beneath the waves but Shane tells us what he found when he went there and how his findings could inform what happens next. Stephan Grilli from the School of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island joins us from Toulon in France where he felt the effects of the shockwave and Tsunami. He says the force of the shockwave drove those waves worldwide. The oceans have continued to warm, producing continuous record temperature rises for several years now. That's the finding of Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania and author of The New Climate Wars. He says warming occurred last year despite the presence of global weather patterns which would usually have a cooling effect. The long-term effects of covid-19 on health are a cause of growing concern even though in many places the virus itself now appears to be taking on a milder form. Yale University neuroscientist Serena Spudich is particularly concerned with covid's impact on the brain. She says while the SARS- CoV-2 virus might not be found in brain cells themselves there are neurological impacts. Scientists have been searching for dark matter for decades, and think there's six times more of it in the universe than the stuff we can actually see, like stars and planets. But they still don't know what it is. So how can we be sure dark matter really exists? And why does it matter, anyway? Back in 2018, armed with a boiler suit, hard hat and ear defenders, Marnie Chesterton travelled over a kilometre underground into a hot and sweaty mine to see how scientists are valiantly trying to catch some elusive particles – in the hope of settling things once and for all. Several years on we return to the problem, tackling a few more CrowdScience listeners' questions about dark matter, and hearing whether we're any closer to uncovering its mysteries. We're joined in our quest by Dr Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, physicist and author of The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred. With Professor Malcolm Fairbairn, Dr Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Dr Chamkaur Ghag and Professor Katherine Freese.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the evaluation of personal energies using intuition and medical devices to diagnose and treat complex medical illnesses. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan.  Neil Nathan, MD has been a Board-Certified Family Physician and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine.  He recently retired from clinical practice after nearly 5 decades of patient care.  From the time that he began medical school at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine, it has always been his passion to try to help as many of his patients as possible.  He was never satisfied with sending patients home with the cliché: “Sorry, we just don't have any answers for you.” For him, and for his patients, conventional medicine had many answers, but sometimes they weren't enough.  Starting his 50-year medical career as a family physician, he delivered babies, did some minor surgery and worked in the emergency room, providing the most comprehensive care that he could.  Over the years, he found that other disciplines held the promise of providing useful answers for those patients who did not respond adequately to conventional medical care.  Slowly his practice evolved into something new, that did not really have a name, and he called it Complex Medical Problem Solving.  Over time, he found himself working mostly with those unfortunate patients who had not received a clear diagnosis from conventional medicine and were suffering with persistent and debilitating illnesses including Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Lyme disease with its coinfections, Autism, and all varieties of Chronic Pain, amongst others.  He is the author of several popular books including his 2018 book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness" and his 2021 book "Energetic Diagnosis" and 2022 update “Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment 2022”. Key Takeaways: Why is conventional medicine not open to many tools in the energy realm? What is the ideal balance of biochemistry vs. physics in a treatment protocol? Is intuition a form of energetic diagnosis? Are empaths more likely to develop physical illnesses? What are energetic cords? What is an energy vampire? Are energy medicine tools necessary as a counterbalance to the increasing levels of EMFs in our environment? What are tools like FSM and LENS? How does one become a healer? What is the piezoelectric effect? Can energetic stagnation be felt using palpation? What can be learned about healing from interactions with plants? Can physical illnesses originate in the spiritual realm?

This week Lucretia really takes it to Steve for his advanced case of DMLAS (Deficient Meat Loaf Awareness Syndrome—and we’re not talking the baked dish here), which surely must make the next edition of the DSM. But from there we quickly pivot to a recap and demolition of the highlights of this week’s news, starting with Biden’s disastrous press conference, but moving quickly to the heart of the matter—that Biden’s errors stem from the luminous lightweights he listens to that have appealed to his narcissism. (Yes, we’re pointing at you, Jon Meacham! Meacham is reported to be the person who wrote Biden’s appalling lines about how everyone who doesn’t agree with him is Bull Connor.) From there we make what we can of the momentous decision of M&Ms to go woke, to Weber grills for their meat loaf apology, and some reflections on the wider meaning of Jordan Peterson’s resignation from the University of Toronto. In between you’ll get some dish (but not meat loaf!) on NPR, some advice on proper apology form from Monty Python, and custom bumper music at both ends from Meat Loaf. Plus two teasers about two upcoming podcasts featuring illustrious guests. Pour yourself a double and settle in for an especially fast-paced episode.

For the last seven years, Ryan Lee has helped people build wealth by debunking bogus financial plans based on hope. Instead of hoping the stock market performed, that taxes would stay low, and hoping that his investments would perform as advertised, he developed something infinitely more valuable than hope: Control. Ryan has unlocked a personal path to achieving financial independence as well as a system of money management that he is passionate about sharing. In this episode, Ryan shares his investment strategy and the 4 pillars that you can use to evaluate a potential investment an determine if it is going to bring you the most reliable returns.

Welcome to another episode of the remote real estate investor. Today with me, I've got Ryan Lee with Cash Flow tactics. And Ryan's gonna be talking to us about his background, how he became financially free, and what are some tips and tricks that you can maybe do the same? So let's get right into it.   Alright, Ryan, so you were saying before that you figured it out? Because you had to? And so I'm curious to know, what was it that you figured out? What were some of the tips and tricks and tactics that you figured out along the way?   Ryan: Yeah, man. So again, kind of going back to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, you know, first he like slapped me in the face and said, Hey, you, everything you think you know about money is wrong,   Michael: You're doing it wrong.   Ryan: Yeah, you're doing it wrong. And you're an idiot, right? And then the next thing that he said was, hey, the definition of financial success. And this radically revolutionized my thought process. It's not how much your net worth is, like, at the end of the day? No, it doesn't matter how much money we have, no matter how much income your assets generate. And so I started measuring my success off of how much income can my assets generate? And how long is it going to last? And how predictable is it going to be?   And this really exposed the lie of the 401k. Because even if I had quote unquote, enough money in the 401k, I couldn't get it right, it was stuck, it was gonna be taxable. And I couldn't take it out before 59 and a half. And so I realized, man, that's that's a trap. So I went down the world of real estate, and real estate is the most powerful wealth creator out there. But it's also a pretty dangerous tool, right? And I went into it super naive. I'm grateful that I did it because I made a lot of mistakes. But you know, I went into the game of real estate trying to do it all on my own. Right, I thought may I'm gonna go out and find the property. And then once I find it, I'm gonna rehab it, and I'm gonna renovate it, and I'm gonna put a renter in there, then I'm gonna collect the rent. And I did that three times, right?   And the first time I did it, walked around with my chest all puffed out, right? I'm a real estate investor, you know, and I wanted to tell everybody about it. The second time I did it, I was little bit nervous. And the third time I did it, I almost had a panic attack. Because here's what was happening, right? I mean, every property that I bought, I was actually getting further away from financial freedom. Because I had to find it, I had to renovate it, I had to put a tenant in it, I had to manage it. And man, man, if there's anything that you know about me, I am the worst, the absolute worst property manager in the entire world. And every time my tenant would call me up with whatever sob story they had, I would sob right along with them and say, Hey, don't worry about it, I'll pay your rent for you.    And, you know, this happened for a good six or seven months, where I was just bleeding money. And I was bleeding time. And I realized, man, the only way that I can do this is if I start plugging into other people's expertise, right? I can't try to do it on my own, because I'm losing time that way. But if I can find people that love real estate, they wake up in the morning, they're like, Man, I love real estate, because that's not my definition of financial freedom. I love real estate for what it does for me. But I don't want to do real estate. So if I can plug into teams and people that have expertise in real estate, and finding rehabbing, renovating, managing all of that stuff with real estate, then my life, my life gets a lot easier. And I become the CEO managing to outcomes.   So the difficult lessons that I learned along the way was don't try to do real estate on your own right? Plug into other people's networks and teams and have them do the real estate. And yes, they make money. But guess what, I get what I want, I get passive cash flow. And I have to manage outcomes.   Michael: Yeah, that's so good. That's so good. So now having done that three times, and coming to that conclusion of okay, I want to be the CEO, I don't want to be the person in the trenches, so to speak. Do you think that that's a good place to start? Or do you think that people actually have to go through those first three, or whatever amount of properties it takes for them to get that hands on experience to recognize, well, I don't like this, or maybe I do like this?   Ryan: Yeah, dude, that's such a great question. And man, I think everyone has their own individual ways that they learn. Some people are really good by learning from other people's people's experiences. Some people can learn from books and podcasts, some people just learn by getting their hands dirty. So understand who you are and how you learn. But for sure doing it gives you way more appreciation. Because if I hadn't done it, then I would come to turnkey providers and other people that are doing real estate. And I'll probably be a little bit more demanding because I didn't understand the process. I don't understand what's required in the work involved in it.   So me doing it. That gave me two perspectives. It gave me a very, very clear understanding of what I don't want. I don't want to be a real estate professional. But it also gave me a clear understanding of what I do want and real estate was the same tool. It was just a matter of how I decided to pick up that tool. So doing it helped me understand, number one, hey, I can do real estates and I can do it to get the outcomes that I want but I don't have to do the do all of the work along the way.   The next thing that it helped me understand was, you know, I lived in at the time I lived in a still do I live in an area where it's a lot harder to do single family homes, I mean, the median price where I'm living, man, it's several $100,000. And if I wanted to buy real estate and start in my geographic area, I'd have to have a lot of money set aside to be able to do that. So also, not doing it on my own allowed me to plug into networks like yours and say, look, what if I bought properties in the Midwest? What if I live where I want to live, but I buy where the numbers make sense. That opened up a whole new game for me. And that allowed me to start moving start from you know, rather than moving slow, and what's in my geographic area, it started to open up my expansion to say, what if I look in other areas and buy the right property in the right area with the right team?   Michael: That's so good. So something that I hear all the time inside of Roofstock Academy and from this other investors investors in general is how do you do in remote investing? I can't make that mental mindset. I'm too scared to give relinquish control. So I can't go touch and see it and check it on my property managers was it sounds like the drive for you. Because the numbers made sense overcame that fear and relinquishing control is that what happened for you?   Ryan: To a certain extent, you know, I still am kind of a control freak. And so every area that I bought real estate, I've gone to that area, right, I've literally gone to the area and that way, like it's kind of fun, because if I go out there, for example, Memphis, Tennessee, you know, Memphis, Tennessee, when I very first one out there, I had no idea I did my research beforehand and kind of understood, maybe some of the areas in that area that I wanted to invest in, took a plane out there, rented a car, got a map, and I just drove up and down the neighborhood's up and down, up and down. And I circled areas I liked, I exed the ones that I was nervous about. But here more than anything, is what I did, I developed a relationship with the team that I wanted to use out there. Because at the end of the day, real estate, isn't the objective real estate is the tool to exchange, that's all it is, I own real estate, someone is going to want to rent that real estate. But if I'm going to do it passively, I have to develop a really good relationship with my property manager, the people who are finding the properties for me my acquisition is and so that's what I spend, spent, and still do spend most of my time on, is developing really, really good relationships, one of the best things I've done, it's such a small thing, but man, it makes the biggest difference.   You know, in in the team that I use instead of Memphis, for example. I've been using them for almost a decade now. And I've been out there a couple of times, I did most of my research in the beginning. And now I can manage it from my, you know, quarterback here from Utah. But every single year, I send them a Christmas card, and a gift card. Right, Tom, thank you for all the work they've done for me for my life for my family, I send them a picture of hey, this is what you're helping me do and accomplishments out of my life, please go enjoy dinner on me, right. And it's such a small thing, dude, it's such a small thing. But as I invest in relationships, man, I can't tell you how many times that team has gone above and beyond for me. I mean, they out of all the people, they manage properties for guests whose name they know, they know my name, right? Because I invest in that relationship.   On the other side, if I didn't appreciate that team, you know, when I had a vacancy, like, I might just call them up and shoot them out and yell at them, and, you know, cuss at them. And you know, that in the long run is not going to help me be free, that's not going to help me get what I want. And so having done it myself, I understand the difficulty, the brain numbing work that that takes and the expertise that's required to do it the effectively and do it the right way. So I appreciate it more. And I honor the people that I work with.   Michael: It's such an important you makes I do the exact same thing, actually, for all of the professionals in my life, all the teams I work with, I do the exact same thing. And you're right, when when I pick up the phone and give them a call, they also pick up the phone and they know who I am, and they appreciate. So I think I think that's a great tip. If nothing else to pour into the relationships that you have in your life, whether it be your lenders, target managers, insurance reps, whoever, but just show them that you care. So when you're thinking about them show the value the relationship I think goes a long way.   Ryan: Man it so does, because at the end of the day, here's the crazy part, a house, a rental property has never written me personally a check. It's a person that's written me that says that, yeah, the house is just the lawyer. It's just alert to get people to do business with each other. And so at the end of the day, remember that you're investing in relationships more than anything.   Michael: That's great. That's great. Okay, so we figured out and you figured out that remote real estate investing was going to be the tool that you were going to leverage. So what then what was the next step was the next thing that you figured out?   Ryan: Yeah, man. And here's kind of a funny thing. And I think a lot of, you know, I'm assuming you're probably a lot like me in this way. You know, I'm very entrepreneurial, right? I like I'm creative. I like to see new opportunities and go chase down those opportunities. So in the beginning, I was like, well, if one type of Cash Flows great, what about all the types of cash flow? And so I bought a couple single family homes, and then I'm like, Well, what maybe I should buy an apartment complex. And maybe I should buy a long term care facility and maybe I should buy this and I was looking at everything through the lens of cash flow, which is a good lens to measure success by but at the end of the day, I still I wanted my time. Right. And I forgot that lesson along the way because the reality is every type of real estate is going to require a certain level of expertise inside of that real estate.   And what I found is it's very, very hard to duplicate results inside of multifamily properties inside of long term care facilities that requires so much expertise that it's hard to duplicate those results. And it's hard to plug into teams that do that. So for me, I kind of went a little bit crazy and tried to buy everything. And then I've realized at the end of the day, I'm gonna just go back down and simplify back down to the type of real estate that makes sense for me, single family, three bedroom, two bath Type homes, bread and butter. Because the reality of it is, there's always demand for that type of property always. It's the easiest property for a guy like me just getting involved to understand because man, I've lived in a three bedroom, two bath home, I know exactly what it's like to live there. I know what areas that are good areas, I intuitively know how that works. It's the easiest type of property to get financing for. It's the easiest type of property to scale inside of a portfolio. And it's the easiest type of property to use to become financially free.   So that was really kind of in the mid part of my game plan that was a major lesson learned is not all cashflow is created equally. And if I want to, you know, build a niche inside of long term care facilities, then I need to focus on long term care facilities. But if I want to be financially free, find a niche and get rich in that niche and just focus. So once I learned that once I learned the ability with my personal finances to focus, and it made my life so much easier now because it doubled down and duplicate those results. And the more I focus, guess what the better results I get, the better sophistication I get, the better I become an investing and I can get results fast now almost with my eyes closed because I focus on it for so long.   Michael: Yeah. Oh, that's so good. Get Rich in your niche. I love that. So Ryan, a question for you though, is when real estate investors first start learning about real estate investing. Their purview is kind of like this. And for everyone listening, I have my hands kind of over my eyes like blinders. All we can see is an inch wide. Yeah. But as you become more involved in the space, you start learning about oh, well, I can partner Oh, there's multifamily. Oh, this fixes that all there's a BRRRR. And so how do people know once they've truly found their niche? Or if they've just done something enough times to be good and comfortable at it? How should they know when to grow into something else?   Ryan: Yeah, man, That's a great question. Here's the way I like to look at it. You know, at the end of the day, this kind of goes back to money. And I think we kind of project onto money, all of our hopes and dreams thinking that money is going to give us what we want money will never give us what we want, right money is simply a tool. So at the end of the day, what I had to get really clear on and I still revisit this over and over because you don't find it and then it's that same thing forever. But I had to get clear on what I wanted. Okay, so once I was really, really clear on what I wanted, and why I wanted it, then I had to realize the only thing that was standing in the way of what I wanted and why I wanted it was me who do I have to become?   Okay, so for me, when I first started my game plan, I wanted to have more time, I wanted to have more control of my time. And I wanted to be able to walk away from a corporate job. I've always been the only income earner in my family, my wife and I, when we first got married my oldest son who had the heart surgery, and he was born with just some major complications and requires a lot of attentive care. So from the very beginning, my wife has stayed home to care for our children. I'm grateful for that. But I was put a lot of pressure on me, right. I mean, I couldn't just walk away from a six figure job without having a way to replace that. So I wanted to be financially free. And if I wanted that, then I had to focus on using my money as a tool to get that thing, right to get that thing to get my time back.   Now over time, my WHY has changed, you know, quite a few times, right? I wanted to walk away from a corporate job, I did that it was awesome. Then I found myself I wanted to teach other people how to do this. I mean, I have so many people asking me questions. Why don't I start a company and a business around this? Why don't I build my skills and expertise to teach other people how to do it. And so my WHY has changed along the way. But all along the way. I've been very, very clear on what I want. And when I know what I want, I can go back to money. And as a tool, I can say how do I use this tool of money to get what I want. Now, if I come to the table and I say hey, I don't have enough money, I want to go faster in my game plan maybe I now need to use money as a tool and develop some more expertise. Maybe burr is the right method for me because now I can inject some of my expertise to make more money and accelerate my game plan ultimately to what I want. So that's really for me, I think a lot of us we think money is what we want. Money is never what we want. So get clear on what you want. Then go back to Money and see how money can serve you in the purposes that you have.   Michael: Oh, that's so good. That's so good. Off the Cuff Ryan Lee in the flesh. Love it, man.   Ryan: Yeah, buddy.   Michael: That's great. So right. I'm curious to know, because you've interacted with so many people, you've coached so many people through money mistakes to financial freedom. What are some of the biggest hurdles that you see trip people up with regard to personal finance?   Ryan: Yeah, man. Um, you know, I think the hardest thing for me in the beginning was to realize that what had been taught wasn't just not working. It was dangerous is one of the biggest statements that we have inside of our community is one thing 97% of traditional financial advice is dangerous, misleading or outright wrong. Okay. And once I can look at money through that lens now, our definition of success is financial freedom in 10 years or less. Okay, so Anything that's not going to get me financially free in 10 years or less, if I look at it through the lens of 97% of traditional financial advice is dangerous, misleading or wrong, then everything out there is simply how to make something that's not working a little bit better.   But if I can put down 97%, of traditional financial advisors put it down, and I can look on the other side, the 3%, that is literally the exact opposite. And if you look at every self made X, you know, someone who's become self made wealthy in a short period of time, they haven't done mutual funds, they haven't done 401k, they haven't done diversification a little bit better than the average person, they've literally done the exact opposite. And that, in my opinion, is the first step towards financial freedom. Right? If I can let go of most of the noise and distractions out there, and solely focus on the few things that actually work and develop expertise and a system around those, then I can start to accelerate my results.   So that's one of the biggest things and that's kind of hard to realize whether it was done by deceit, whether it was done by default, whether it's just kind of the social conditioning, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if there's some grand master plan to keep the, you know, American public trapped. But at the end of the day, once I let go of traditional stuff, and fully said, Hey, I'm going to walk away from average, in pursuit of extraordinary, man, that's what really, really started to open up my path to financial freedom. And so that's inside of our community, we're not for everyone, we're not trying to make you better. We're trying to truly help you rise up so that you can ultimately live free, that's going to require you to walk away from average,   Michael: That's so good. What was the hardest thing for you to spread yourself away from for you to give up from what you'd learned? Probably 97%.   Ryan: Yeah, I think even still to this day, right? I mean, it seems like the world that we live in is becoming increasingly more chaotic, and increasingly more complex, like, if I get on Google, today, I can find the 10 newest, greatest best investments that will make me a multi mega millionaire, but you know, Bitcoin, you know, online businesses, whatever it might be, right, all these different things. And they, they're all they all might be great. Or they all might just be simple distractions, right. And if we look back, historically, from the very beginning of like, economies, what has made people wealthy period, it's always been ownership of land. In fact, the American Constitution, the Declaration of Independence was formed around life, liberty, and property, the ownership of property. And so understanding that, man, if we understand that there's historical background of 1000s of years of success, instead of real estate, why not just focus on   Michael: Why reinvent the wheel?   Ryan: No doubt man, just, like, let go of the distractions. And then here's the here's the fun part. Financial freedom is kind of like a pathway, right? If I can get on this pathway, and start building consistent and predictable results, then financial freedom, unlike retirement isn't a destination, I don't have to wait until one day, I can actually start giving myself permission to live free today. And over time, over time, maybe once I've established a base level of cash flow that I'm comfortable with maybe then I can go dabble in Bitcoin and be a multi mega millionaire tomorrow or not, right. But I've built my financial freedom that gives me the permission to go gamble and play if I want to, because that's what I want to do.   Michael: That's great. That's great. So what's something that you would share with our listeners, one thing that everybody could do today, or starting tomorrow, to start them on the correct path towards learning more about the 3%, or towards learning about what truly is, in your estimation, the way to financial freedom?   Ryan: Cool, cool. I'm going to give you our formula. So we literally have a financial freedom formula. And this is because I partnered with a dude, when I when I first started this, I'm the guy that just goes and does it right. And I kind of figured out from a gut feel more than anything. And then I partnered up with this guy, he came from Wall Street's he literally, this is the funniest thing about my business partner. When he was getting married, when he was dating, he had a spreadsheets, right, and he would plug all of the people that he was dating into the spreadsheet, and he had a ranking criteria in a spreadsheet. And so math helped him choose his one,   Michael: Oh, my god,   Ryan: Math helped him choose which car to buy, Matt helps him, like this guy sees the world through numbers, and I kind of look at them, kind of like Neo in the Matrix, like Neo could look into the world of the matrix and kind of see all the rest of us like, I don't see I see the numbers. So when I partnered up with this guy, he helped bring math to what I was doing, and we use math to clarify and to help us focus. And so we built a financial freedom formula, and it literally gives people a systematic way to move forward. And I'm gonna give you one element of this financial freedom formula, and it's called the four pillars. And here's the crazy part. Every asset no matter what it is, every asset under the sun has four potential ways you can make money. It all depends on how you participate in Okay, so if you want to move faster, instead of your game plan instead of your financial, you know, journey, you need to align your money with assets that give you all four elements in the four pillars.   So let's do a quick case study. Let's take the stock market, okay, mutual funds, maybe I'll buy some stock and Apple whatever it is, and take the stock market and we're going to put up real estate side by side. Okay, so here's the four pillars. I can make money when I invest through appreciation. I can make money when I invest through cash flow. I can make money when I invest through tax advantages or tax deductions. And I can make money when I invest through leverage. Those are the four pillars. Every investment has all four, it just matters how I participate. So if I, as a, you know, just off the streets type of guy, go buy a stock an apple, how do I make money?   Michael: You'll make money through appreciation, you'll make it…   Ryan: That's it. Right appreciation, I buy the stock at Apple at one price, I hope I hold it for long enough. And overtime, it's gonna go up right out. I don't control that outcome. Right, I can't impact that outcome, all I can do is wait. And the only friend I have in the appreciation game is time, how much time has to pass before it goes up enough that I'm willing to sell them. Now, a lot of people got burned in the game of real estate back in 2006, and 2007, because they bought real estate using the same mindset, real estate goes up in value. And over time, it generally does. But sometimes things go down in value, right? So if all I'm getting inside of my investing is appreciation, I don't control it, I have to wait. And I'm just kind of along for the ride.   Now, if I buy a piece of real estate that I'm going to, you know, buy through you guys, and I'm going to have the real estate owned the real estate control it, I can have it go up in value. But more than anything, I'm probably buying it for a stream of cash flow, right? I'm gonna have positive rental income coming in every single month. Now, here's the cool thing. If I take that rental income and put it in my bank account, does that affect the appreciation of the value of the property? No, they're not correlated, right? It can go up in value, and I can take rental income.   And I believe the IRS came the very first statement in the IRS tax code. You know what it is? Everything you make is taxable. Sorry. But then like the 1000s of pages after that, you know what those 1000s of pages are written for?   Michael: Real estate investors   Ryan: To tell you all the ways that you don't have to pay taxes. And the IRS just uses the the tax code as a carrot to incentivize behavior. They know that everyone needs a place to live. So they say, Hey, if you go buy that place to live or rent it to someone else, you get lots of tax deductions. Not not deferrals like a 401k, but literally tax deductions. So if I can own a piece of real estate, I can earn a return through appreciation, I can earn a return through cash flow, and I can earn a return through tax deductions.   Last but not least, one of the most powerful tools and the most dangerous tools is leverage, right? If I want to go buy that piece of real estate, do I have to I don't have to have $100,000 in my bank account, I can, you know, put a downpayment down and go get that real estate, use bank money and get a high enough return to cover my debt, and to still give me a positive return. And so those are the four pillars, cashflow, appreciation, tax deductions and leverage. And so anytime an investment comes across my table, I just get to run it through that lens and say, okay, Bitcoin cool. How do I make money? Oh, I don't get cash flow. Okay, there's no tax advantages, and there's no ability to use leverage. It's just appreciation. And right now that appreciation game looks super fun. But that's the only game I'm playing or, you know, if someone brings me whatever, right, I can just run it through those four pillars and say, Guess what, if I'm not getting all four pillars, I'm not playing the game.   Michael: Yeah. Yeah. No, I totally agree. It's something I've touted for years about some of the benefits and power of real estate. So, between you and me, have you found any other investment vehicle that meets all four of those pillars other than real estate?   Ryan: Yeah man. So everything in our world has a reason behind it. The reason we say 97% of traditional financial advice is dangerous, misleading or wrong, is when I first learned about the four pillars. I was like, Yes, I found the Holy Grail. Now, what are all the assets that have all four pillars and here's the crazy part. The first two we all know about came number one real estate's number two is a business. Now, here's the crazy part came. If I go buy stock in Apple, okay, let's think about Tim Cook, the owner. And let's think about me, I'm a retail investor, I go buy stock in Amazon or an apple. So I'm just getting appreciate right, Tim on the other side, he's an owner of Apple, right? So he gets appreciation, he gets cash flow, he gets massive tax deductions, and he gets all different kinds of forms of leverage, right from people to processes and all that other stuff.   So business and real estate, those are two forms of four pillars. Now the third one is a uniquely designed high cash value life insurance policy. And when I first learned about that, I'm like, Dude, there's no what is crazy, but man, here's the crazy part. Go google it right now. Go Google bully and find out how much money banks keeping these type of policies they keep billions of dollars go Google Kohli CEO li find out how much corporations like Jim Harbaugh, like Michigan, University Michigan, they're number two ranked right now, right? Like Jim Harbaugh when he took the job when he left the NFL to come to coach the University of Michigan, you know how 35% of his compensation was structured, inside of contributions to a high cash value, life insurance policy, oh my god, what the heck is going on? It was nuts. And so these policies This is where politicians keep their money. This is where banks keep their money. This is where highly compensated executives keep their money. It's hiding in plain sight. It's been used for hundreds of years. It's a way to eliminate taxes, get Jay you know, gain, leverage, all of that kind of stuff, but the only three assets have all four pillars are a business that you own and operate, real estate which you have to operate somewhat like a business, and a Vault, which allows you to keep the money that you're making safe from taxes. Oh, we call it a vault, but it's a high cash value life insurance.   Michael: Okay. Okay. Oh, that's great. This has been super, super great, Ryan.   Ryan: Wow, that's so fun. Man. I love talking about this stuff. I do   Michael: That makes two of us make two of us. You also have a podcast, right?   Ryan: We do, man. So, you know, this kind of goes back to we joke a little bit. You know, those, there's three questions that we invite people to ask when they come into our world, I think it's gonna be all about investing in rates of return on this versus that. And it is right to a certain extent, we're talking to people about how to operate a system. But I truly believe that the only thing that's separating you from the reality that you want is you have to become a different person. Right? This is where the idea of rising up came from, right? You've done the best you can do with the mindsets and skill sets that you have your results are the best results that you personally could generate as of today.   So if you dream and see a new reality for yourself, you have to become a new person, you have to develop new mindsets and skill sets to bridge the gap from who you are today. And who you have to become to be a successful real estate investor or to become financially free. Right. And so our podcast more than anything, is designed to help people have a sense of courage and confidence that they can do it that they can truly rise up. So yes, we go through the framework, we go through the financial freedom formula, all that kind of stuff. But honestly, men are our financial freedom formulas boring. Like once you learn how to do it, it's just we tell you push the repeat button, do it over and over and over and over and over again, as simple boring.   So what we try to help people do is generate the confidence to understand how to live a life that matters because financial freedom and this is where I got stuck to. I mean, when I even got into the game of real estate, I still lost my way because I still kept thinking when I have enough real estate when I have enough cash flow that I'll give myself permission. So along the way, I had to learn how to become free how to act free how to use money as a tool, not for one day, but how to have a game plan that's gonna help me get to the results that I want long term, but live a life that matters today. So it's personal development wrapped up in financial freedom all delivered through the Rise Up Live Free podcast.   Michael: Sounds like a personal finance burrito.   Ryan: That is it dude I love, I love burritos. That's exactly what it is. It's a burrito with guacamole. I'll pay extra.   Michael: Oh, that's great. Ryan, this was so much fun, man. If people want to learn more about you reach out to you learn more about Cash Flow Tactics. What's the best Where Where can they do that?   Ryan: Yeah, first off, Michael, before I say that, man, I want to just thank you for what you do. You know, we talk a lot about this idea of being able to plug into teams and networks. And guys, whether you're a longtime listener of this podcast, a first time listener to this podcast, what Michael does, through his company, and through, you know, through the real estate that you provide a man, I think our, our clients are probably about hundreds of properties through you, right. And so we actually did a training probably a year ago, where we actually pulled up your website and show people exactly how to find the right properties, using your your inventory using what you guys do.   So number one, you guys are awesome. And I want to say thank you, because you've helped our people, our empire builders inside of our community achieve their their goals and dreams. So thank you for that   Michael: So glad to hear it. Thank you,   Ryan: All right. And then number two, if you want to get plugged into our game, you know everything for us centers on a game plan, okay, so we talk about the principles, and the principles are universal, it doesn't matter if you're, you know, it's just getting started out, you've been in the game of finance for a long time, the principles are, what the principles are, but then you have to understand how to tactically apply those principles to you using your goals, your resources, your desires, all that kind of stuff. And so, for us, the easiest way to understand what we talked about, is we have a five day five day financial freedom challenge, okay, that will help you understand how to apply the principles to you how to rank your investments through the four pillars, and another thing that we call the core four, and help you see how far or how close financial freedom is to you, and how to apply the 3% formula to your financial plan. So cashflowtactics.com/challenge. That's probably the easiest way for people to understand what we do and how it applies to them.   Michael: Love it. Love it. Ryan. This was really great, man. Thank you again for coming on. And I'm sure our paths will cross again soon.   Ryan: Man. Such an honor. I appreciate you.   Michael: Thanks. Take care. Already everybody that was our episode a big big big thank you to Ryan. This was a lot of fun. He dropped a lot of nuggets of wisdom in there. So as always, if you liked the episode, feel free to leave us a rating or review wherever you listen your podcast. We look forward to seeing the next one and Happy investing

Macro N Cheese devotes considerable attention to ecological economics and environmental justice. We're always working to expand our understanding of both. Dr. Hail connects the dots between environmental sustainability and the broader public purpose. It's a focus of his new podcast,https://modernmoneylab.org.au/events/podcast/ ( “Modern Money Doughnut”.) But that's done best of all in Kate's book, when she talks about the doughnut, when she talks about moving away from growthism, from pursuing the growth of GDP as though that is an end in itself, and towards identifying those things which ought to be true of a successful society that provides everybody with the best possible chance of living a secure and safe and rewarding, engaged, empowered life while living within those planetary boundaries. By expanding our scope, the problems appear more complex and vast but, paradoxically, everything starts to make more sense. The goal cannot be just to clean up the planet. If we want to sustain and prolong life on this planet, shouldn't it be a life worth living, free of exploitation and inequality? Isn't it kind of like trying to solve healthcare without addressing health? Steven Hail, along with others such as our recent guest Phil Lawn, has been working to bring MMT to ecological economists. At one point there was a danger of people seeing MMT as just a more efficient way of growing the economy faster. Steve Grumbine first heard the term “degrowth” from Steven Hail at the 2018 MMT conference in New York City. Hail says at the time he wasn't necessarily talking about decreasing the GDP, but about living within our planetary boundaries. Or to put it another way, to a situation in the future where we are obeying Herman Daly's three principles of sustainability, not emitting waste like carbon dioxide more rapidly than the environment can safely absorb it, not using up renewables like fish in the sea faster than our environment can renew those resources. And not using non renewables like lithium that you're digging out from under the ground at a rate which is faster than you can develop renewable alternatives for them. When it comes to the need to reduce the GDP, Hail says he's agnostic. Clearly, only a tiny minority benefit from its growth. Grumbine brings up the inadequacies of the GDP as a measure of those things or activities we value. Cleaning up an oil spill increases the GDP. Hail says “We don't value a forest in GDP until we cut it down” and goes on to talk about the history of the GDP and our worship of it. They also discuss alternative measures like the Genuine Progress Indicator and the dashboard approach Jason Hickel spoke of in a recent Macro N Cheese episode. We saw a decrease in carbon emissions in 2020 (thanks, COVID!) but now we're approaching the global peak again – about seven times as high as in 1950. Hail says we've been talking about carbon emissions for 30 years and at this point it's not enough to get them to fall, we need to get them down to zero. We're not cutting them at all at the moment. And the message of lots of people, the Mark Diesendorfs of this world, even the Kate Raworths of this world, is that we have the technology so that we could do this. Can we do it within capitalism? Jason Hickel would say no. I think probably Bill Mitchell would say no. Hail is known to be optimistic. His message of hope is that we have the science and resources to live within biophysical boundaries while meeting the needs of the people. How will we make that happen? He admits he may soon find himself in the streets with Extinction Rebellion. Steven Hail is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Torrens University, having previously been a Lecturer in the School of Economics at the University of Adelaide. He is the author of https://bookshop.org/books/economics-for-sustainable-prosperity/9783030081485 (Economics for Sustainable Prosperity.) Find the Modern Money Doughnut podcast and Dr....

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. This week we take a step back and explore the intimate roots of astronomy here in South Africa. We are joined by retired Emeritus Professor John Parkington, a senior research scholar at the University of Cape Town's Department of Archaeology. We take part in his journey to communicate and celebrate the ‘Intimate Cosmology' of the indigenous people of South Africa and the close relationship they had with the night sky. We discuss the importance of preserving these stories for future generations and we learn that perhaps the only difference between the land and night-sky is how hard you throw something.   John talks about his work with the Shared Sky exhibition, which was launched to commemorate the awarding of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to both South Africa and Australia. Although separated by great distances, we share more than we think.   We also showcase the work Dan has been involved with in trying to preserve these stories as animations, alongside linguist Dr Kerry Jones and her company African Tongue. Enjoy a first-hand experience of one such animation below, called “Moon's Message”.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Stephen Meyer Takes On Darwin's Tree and National Geographic View of Fossil Record is WRONG Says Evolutionary Biologist Richard Sternberg. Stephen Meyer Takes On Darwin's Tree National Geographic View of Fossil Record is WRONG Says Evolutionary Biologist Richard Sternberg Stephen Meyer Takes On Darwin's Tree https://youtu.be/aXKAMR94-rc 7,216 views Dec 17, 2021 Discovery Science 134K subscribers Everyone has seen the iconic tree of life depicted by Darwin. But in this bonus interview released as part of the Science Uprising series, best-selling author Stephen Meyer describes how the fossil record poses significant challenges to Darwin's tree of life. When one studies the various biological forms of the fossil record, one finds that these forms remain static with slight variations until the species either goes extinct or persists into the present day. According to Meyer, "we don't see the kind of morphing from one major morphological innovation into another that you would expect on the basis of Darwinian theory." Meyer argues that while the fossil record demonstrates some transitions in the history of life, evidence for the major transitions is lacking. He also challenges the claim that transitions are lacking because the fossil record simply didn't preserve the transitional forms. Meyer then goes on to discuss population genetics and the "waiting times" problem faced by the Darwinian mechanism. Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture in Seattle. He has authored the New York Times best seller Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2013), Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2009), which was named a Book of the Year by the Times (of London) Literary Supplement in 2009, and now, Return of the God Hypothesis (HarperOne, 2021). ============================ The Discovery Science News Channel is the official Youtube channel of Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture.

Lauren Kingsley is a 21-year-old author, speaker, and student at the University of Chicago. She was born and raised on the American east coast in Morristown, New Jersey. By the age of 15, her physical, neurological, and psychological symptoms were cataclysmic. She was wheelchair bound, unable to form clear sentences, and suffering from hallucinations. Ms. Kingsley was such a “train wreck” that her hallucination experience became “oddly comforting” to her. She was consistently visited by a “man [with] a youthful glow… [and a] slender build… that reminded [her] of someone [she] used to be close to, whose name [she] couldn't recall.” To add insult to injury, Ms. Kingsley was misdiagnosed with “psychological issues,” Schizophrenia, IBS, SIBO, and psychosomatic disorders by 7 doctors from New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Finally, she was diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease by her “superhero” Doctor Kristine Gedroic whom she credits with saving her “from the yard of sleeping souls.” If you would like to learn more about how a young woman utilized her antifragile mindset to overcome life threatening Lyme disease and swap a wheelchair and hallucinations for authorship and acceptance to one of the top colleges in the world, then tune in now.

Scientists Are Working On A Universal COVID Vaccine As the Omicron wave of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spike around the U.S., there are scientists working not on variant-specific boosters, but on a vaccine that might cover every possible strain, past and future. Called universal vaccines, they require a fundamentally different approach from a shot that would target Delta, Omicron, or any other variant. Instead, a universal vaccine would need to train the body to respond to something every variant has in common—or to fill in the blanks of any possible mutations. Vox senior science reporter Umair Irfan reports on the difficult path and ongoing work toward such a vaccine, and why the immune system's T cells and B cells, more than neutralizing antibodies, will dictate our long-term future with the virus. Plus how an undersea eruption near Tonga was one of the most documented volcanic explosions in history, new research assesses the vast toll of global antibiotic resistance, and more stories from the week.   New Research Links Epstein-Barr Virus to Multiple Sclerosis A group of scientists at Harvard University says they have made a major breakthrough in understanding multiple sclerosis. For years, they have been testing out a hypothesis that the Epstein-Barr virus causes multiple sclerosis, a chronic and incurable disease of the nervous system. (Epstein-Barr is the contagious virus responsible for mononucleosis.) Researchers analyzed a dataset of 10 million active-duty military members. They found that service members who contracted the Epstein-Barr virus were 32 times more likely to later be diagnosed with MS. The research was published in the journal Science. Ira is joined by Dr. Alberto Ascherio, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in Boston, Massachusetts, to discuss his team's research and its broader implications.   Saliva Sharing Might Help Kids Identify Their Closest Relationships How do little kids understand who has a close relationship with them? One of the clues they use to figure it out is by noticing who they're swapping saliva with. The closest bonds are with the people who are giving them kisses, sharing their forks, and wiping their drool. Those are the findings of a recent study published in the journal Science.

Robb Fraley, a top Monsanto executive at the time, emailed the dean of the agriculture college in 2018 complaining about a professor saying publicly that one of his company's flagship products was causing widespread damage to crops. Monsanto was also a major donor. Fraley accused the professor of being “biased” and “prone to exaggeration.” U of I officials had spent years courting Fraley, and they had listened to him before when he'd complained about a lack of progress on an endowed chair he'd funded. But the 2018 episode highlights potentially thorny situations for public universities, which have cultivated powerful agricultural corporations as donors while public funding has stagnated. Dicamba posed a particularly critical issue to Fraley. After all, he was as responsible as anyone for leading modern agriculture into using lab-designed seeds that could withstand spraying from weedkillers. That Monsanto-branded Roundup Ready pairing of biotechnology with glyphosate herbicide revolutionized grain farming around the world. When glyphosate lost its punch — after weeds grew resistant to Roundup — Monsanto shifted to teaming different genetically modified seeds with the dicamba herbicide. But farmers who'd not adopted the new genetically engineered seeds started complaining about “dicamba drift” and of seeing their crops perish from the effects of the herbicide migrating to their fields. So when U of I weed scientist Aaron Hager spoke about a controversy as big as any in commercial agriculture in ways that didn't sit well with Fraley, the university benefactor let the school know about his displeasure.

As the population of the world grows, we're going to need to grow more of it within the same amount of space. The United Nations estimates the world's population will grow by 2 billion people between now and 2050. Access to fresh food is already a problem in many countries, and will likely get worse with more mouths to feed. This is where the concept of agrivoltaics could create a massive change. This farming setup mixes water, energy, and plant growth all in one space. Solar panels collect energy from the sun's rays; underneath those panels is where the plants grow. The setup takes less water than the traditional way of farming, all-in-all creating a more sustainable way to grow food and create energy. Joining Ira to talk about the promise of agrivoltaics is Dr. Chad Higgins, associate professor of biological and ecological engineering at Oregon State University, in Corvallis, Oregon.  

Identifying Animals Through Airborne DNA In recent years, the technique of eDNA—environmental DNA, or samples taken from the environment, as opposed to from a specific animal—has changed ecology research. Scientists have learned how to obtain eDNA from water samples, soil, and even the intestinal tract of other animals. Writing recently in the journal Current Biology, two different groups report that air samples collected with filters in a zoo can provide enough DNA to paint a partial picture of the species living in and around the zoo. After taking over 72 samples from 20 sites around a zoo in the UK, Dr. Elizabeth Clare and colleagues brought their trove back to the lab, and were able to identify 25 different species living in and around the zoo. Some were expected zoo inhabitants, and others were surprises—including DNA from a species of endangered European hedgehog. At the same time, a separate group of researchers performed a similar analysis on a Danish zoo, and achieved similar results. Dr. Clare joins Ira Flatow to talk about the research, and what the technique of eDNA might be able to bring to the world of conservation ecology.   These Beetles Go Boing There are plenty of insect species that jump—leafhoppers, crickets, fleas, and more. Some use powerful legs to take to the air. Others, like the click beetle, rely on a latching mechanism built into their bodies to build up energy, then release it suddenly. But writing in the journal PLOS One this week, researchers report that they've spotted a species of lined flat bark beetle (Laemophloeus biguttatus) that uses a different method to jump—the beetle larvae dig into a surface with tiny claws, flex, and build up energy, before releasing it and flinging itself into the air in a tiny ring. “It was really exciting to know that we had seen something possibly for the first time and definitely reported for the first time,” said Matt Bertone, an entomologist at NC State University and one of the authors of the report. The jumps themselves aren't very impressive—only a few body lengths—but the discovery of a new mechanism that doesn't rely on a specialized body part is intriguing. The authors aren't quite sure why the larvae, which live under tree bark, have evolved the jumping behavior, but hypothesize that it may be to rapidly move when their bark habitat is disturbed. Bertone joins Ira to talk about the unique form of locomotion, and where the researchers might look next for the behavior.   This is Your Brain on Wordle Five letters, six tries to guess a word. That's the simple conceit behind Wordle, the new puzzle game that's sweeping the internet. More than 2.5 million people play this word game, its creator told NPR. The word changes each day and is the same for everyone who plays. Each letter guessed right brings the player one step closer to solving the puzzle. It's free and simple, and according to many players, completely addictive. But why is such a simple game so compelling? And how does it compare to viral games of the past, like Pokemon Go or Words with Friends? Ira is joined by Dr. Matthew Baldwin, assistant professor in social psychology at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, to unlock the reasons why Wordle both satisfies the brain and brings us closer to our peers.   Pigeons Are More Than Pests Pigeons lead much-maligned lives in our cities. They eat what's edible from our trash, and live much of their lives at street level. So it's no surprise, perhaps, that the name ‘rats with wings' has reached the level of a cultural meme. But author Rosemary Mosco wants you to think again. Instead of seeing vermin, you might consider the pigeon much like a stray dog or cat. In her recent book, A Pocket Guide to Pigeon-Watching, Mosco details the history of pigeon domestication—as much as it can be known—including millennia of humans raising pigeons to eat, as well as cherishing them for their nutrient-rich poop. More recently, people painstakingly bred fancy varieties like the frillback and the fantail. And yes, your local city pigeon is descended from those beloved birds. Producer Christie Taylor talks to Mosco about the underappreciated history of pigeons. Plus, fun facts about their feral, city-dwelling kin, from the self-congratulatory wing-claps to the secret lives of baby pigeons.  

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court handed down a decision in the case Trump v. Thompson, denying Donald Trump's motion to block the National Archives from producing his documents to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. To drill down, Natalie Orpett talked with Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes, Lawfare senior editor Scott R. Anderson and Professor Jonathan Shaub of the University of Kentucky College of Law. They discussed the dispute between Trump and the committee, the central issue of executive privilege and what it all means for the committee's investigation.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
