An Auckland retirement village is looking to ban electric vehicles because of safety. Forty-seven residents at Fairview Lifestyle Village in Albany have got into a row with management over the decision. One resident told our newsroom the village claims EV's are a fire risk. Drive Electric chair Kirstin Corson told Heather Du Plessis-Allan that it's completely unreasonable. She says EV's are 25 percent less likely to catch fire than a petrol or diesel vehicle.

LLMs are already “deciding” your brand for buyers. Are you shaping that story or letting the machine write it? If your marketing still sounds like everybody else's, congratulations: you've trained the models to ignore you.This week we rip into the hottest B2B reality: AI Engine Optimization (AEO) meets human-only brand. Ari Yablok, head of brand at Island, shows how to beat sameness by sending clear “this is new” signals, building experiential brands that people feel (not just read), and using unreasonable hospitality to make products and events feel theirs, not “yours.”We also cover:AEO is the new SEO: how to show up inside LLM answers and make people prefer you before they ever ask a bot.Signals over slogans: designing booths, visuals, and copy that telegraph “category shift” without a single bullet point.Unreasonable hospitality in B2B: turning product nuance and in-person moments into retention (and reputation) machines.The “feeling of knowing”: why brand confidence shortens deals—even when buyers can't explain why.Human as the counter-trend: embracing curated flaws and analog touchpoints to stand out as AI perfects the average.

Send us a textOn this weeks episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy talks about the nature of customers. No one likes having to pay for their car to be fixed, except some of weirdo's who can tell when we are running the right gas or not. No, most customers will actively chafe when we recommend repairs to their vehicle, no matter how badly they are needed! This becomes compounded when you do a video explaining what is wrong with their vehicle and the service advisor fails to mention a single recommendation from that video and the customer walks out the door with tires that are showing cords or an oil leak that rivals the Exxon-Valdez. Video however is they key to breaking this down, and with coming improvements to Video MPI and the contextualization and AI integrations that we are going to see in their next iterations, the facts might just turn the tides on these unreasonable people.  What is the most unreasonable customer that you have experienced - let us know over on Facebook!   Also Uncle Jimmy talks Rez Gas. This Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!

When something “bad” happens that you never saw coming, the default human response is blame of self, others, or life itself. In this episode, I invite you to consider a radical reframe: what if the “bad thing” is the precursor to an incoming miracle? Continuing the ongoing conversation about embodying a timeline of Miracle Frequency, we explore how tension is required for growth, why surrender is not bypassing, and how to hold pressure from a grounded seat of responsibility while refusing to let fear have the final say. I share personal stories, powerful examples of grace in action (forgiveness, resilience, leadership), and an invitation to those who feel called to fully embody Miracle Frequency: this path isn't random - you may have been praying for it (even unconsciously). In this episode you'll learn: Why tension and pressure often precede profound transformation How to shift from victimhood to radical responsibility without bypassing your human reality A liberating posture: trusting a bigger orchestration while keeping your feet on the ground What it means to step into a timeline of miracles, not just momentary moments of grace How unreasonable, audacious faith meets practical, day-to-day action Join the work: Miracle Frequency Masterclass (Free, 2 days) — Nov 13 & 14, 11:00–12:15pm AEDT.

[Meta: This is Max Harms. I wrote a novel about China and AGI, which comes out today. This essay from my fiction newsletter has been slightly modified for LessWrong.] In the summer of 1983, Ronald Reagan sat down to watch the film War Games, starring Matthew Broderick as a teen hacker. In the movie, Broderick's character accidentally gains access to a military supercomputer with an AI that almost starts World War III.“The only winning move is not to play.” After watching the movie, Reagan, newly concerned with the possibility of hackers causing real harm, ordered a full national security review. The response: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” Soon after, the Department of Defense revamped their cybersecurity policies and the first federal directives and laws against malicious hacking were put in place. But War Games wasn't the only story to influence Reagan. His administration pushed for the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") in part, perhaps, because the central technology—a laser that shoots down missiles—resembles the core technology behind the 1940 spy film Murder in the Air, which had Reagan as lead actor. Reagan was apparently such a superfan of The Day the Earth Stood Still [...] ---Outline:(05:05) AI in Particular(06:45) Whats Going On Here?(11:19) Authorial Responsibility The original text contained 10 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: November 3rd, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uQak7ECW2agpHFsHX/the-unreasonable-effectiveness-of-fiction --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

In this episode, Amy Natalie sits down with Dr. Nona Djavid for a powerful conversation about balancing masculine and feminine energies, nervous system regulation, and the art of intentional manifestation. Dr. Nona shares her journey from a hypermasculine, high-achieving lifestyle to one rooted in flow, embodiment, and freedom. Together, they explore how early conditioning shapes emotional patterns and how tools like neuro tagging, visualization, and movement can rewire the nervous system for deeper fulfillment.Listeners will be inspired to create an “unreasonable” vision for their lives—one that blends structure with intuition, logic with creativity, and action with surrender. Through emotional embodiment and conscious practice, this episode invites women to step into their next-level identity and manifest from a place of wholeness.Themes:Balancing masculine drive with feminine flowHealing and rewiring the nervous systemManifestation through visualization and repetitionEmbodying new emotional patternsCreating freedom through identity transformationLimited Time Offer

This week on Crack the Book marks a jarring shift in tone — and in time. After months steeped in medieval imagination, we start there with Niccolò Machiavelli and end firmly in the Enlightenment with Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Their works, The Prince (1513) and The Social Contract (1762), straddle that uneasy moment when faith and hierarchy gave way to “rational” thinking. And wow, does it sound different. I didn't realize how accustomed my ear had become to the older world until now.First up, The Prince. I had only known it practically caricatured as a manual for ruthless rulers. Instead, I found that Machiavelli offers sharp, almost Aristotelian observations on how power works. Writing amid the chaos of Renaissance Italy — with popes, princes, and mercenaries vying for control — he tries to help leaders (well, Lorenzo di Medici) survive reality, not reinvent it. His advice is startlingly pragmatic: if you must be cruel, do it swiftly; keep the people's goodwill by leaving their money and families alone; and above all, don't be hated. Virtue matters less than the appearance of virtue — but even so, he respects human nature enough to work with it rather than against it. For someone with such a bad reputation, he's refreshingly honest.Before we move to Rousseau, I spend some time reviewing the Enlightenment: what it was, when it was, and how it changed thinking and therefore every other thing in the world! I think it's a necessary bridge between these two time periods and books.On to Rousseau. Two centuries and one worldview later, The Social Contract begins not with observation but with imagination: “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” Rousseau builds an elaborate theory of how people ought to behave, then blames reality when they don't. His faith in reason and “natural goodness” feels detached from the messiness of human life that Machiavelli understood so well. And by the time he turns his ire on the Church in his final pages, the tone borders on bitter — foreshadowing the excesses of the French Revolution.After this week, I find myself mourning the grounded wisdom of the Middle Ages. Machiavelli may be cynical, but at least he's real. Rousseau feels like a man disappointed that humanity refuses to fit his theory.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate -

Success and happiness should not be defined by external factors. Measuring progress from where you've come is crucial for fulfilment. Redefining health can lead to better outcomes and satisfaction. Creating a non-profit can integrate personal passions with business goals. There are three types of goals: SMART, Inspired, and Unreasonable. Unreasonable goals require a shift in identity and mindset. Writing down goals increases the likelihood of achieving them. Taking time off can lead to increased productivity and creativity. To achieve different results, one must take different actions. Sound bites "Measure from how far you've come." "I teach three kinds of goals." "How do you collapse time?"

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the trap of “reasonable living” and sharing why the most magnetic, luxurious lives are built on unreasonable choices.

Wil talks with Anthony Hamilton of Icon Group Hospitality about building people-first restaurant businesses that last. They riff on digital minimalism (Wil's flip phone!), presence with family, and the hard edges of hospitality—burnout, 24/7 crises, substance abuse—then pivot to how thoughtful leadership, balance, and systems can make the work sustainable. Anthony traces his path from CIA-trained chef to operator/educator to acquiring legacy independent brands and venues, explaining creative deal structures, venue-first catering strategy, and a culture that prizes productivity over performative “grind.” The throughline: lead with hospitality, invest in people, use simple tech well, and protect the soul of beloved neighborhood institutions.Key takeaways Presence beats obsession: Ditching always-on smartphones can reduce noise and make you a better leader, parent, and human. Hospitality is holistic: Mental health, family time, and modeling balance are part of the job, not perks. People > spreadsheets: “Internal customers” (your team) drive guest experience; treat them with autonomy, flexibility, and respect. Productivity > hours: Question 50+ hour weeks; manage to outcomes, not optics. Predictive labor wins: Forecast sales, schedule to targets, and adjust—don't try to “cut” your way out after the fact. Simple tech scales: Use lightweight tools (like scheduling/communications) your staff actually adopts; avoid bells-and-whistles bloat. Legacy brand stewardship: When buying independents, preserve what locals love while modernizing ops; owners are often the brand—honor that story. Creative deals keep doors open: Mix owner financing, profit-sharing, and note-holding to match seller needs and protect cash. Venue-first catering strategy: Securing exclusive/long-term venue leases reliably feeds the catering pipeline. Unreasonable touches pay back: Small, thoughtful gestures (a $60 video game + handwritten note) can lock in lifelong clients. Turnover is expensive: Retention beats replacement—paying an extra $0.50–$1/hour can save thousands in churn costs. Lead by example: Owners will always care most; don't expect staff to out-hustle you—set the standard and the tone.

Send us a textActs 25:20-27Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wanted to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them. But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I ordered him to be held until I could send him to Caesar.” Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” said he, “you will hear him.”So on the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. And Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer. But I found that he had done nothing deserving death. And as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him. But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write. For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.”Support the show

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Being Reasonable Keeps You Stuck June 25, 2025 | Episode 5123  Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott dives into the difference between being reasonable and unreasonable, and why sometimes you need to stop going along to get along. He shares why reasonable people settle for mundane while unreasonable people create their own reality. With his signature energy, Scott explores how society teaches us to be “good little citizens,” but that might be exactly what's holding you back from your goals. He'll challenge you to think about where you stand when everyone else thinks you're being unreasonable. Featured Story Scott shares Maya Angelou's powerful story about stopping at a dinner party when someone told an off-color joke at her home. Even after an apology, she stood her ground and asked the person to leave. This moment perfectly captures what it means to be unreasonable in the eyes of others while staying true to your values. It's a reminder that sometimes being unreasonable is exactly what the situation calls for. Important Points Reasonable people settle for mundane and just go along with what society expects, while unreasonable people create different realities for themselves and everyone around them. Most people who feel stuck are dealing with roadblocks because others are reading them in a way that's not compatible with who they really are. When you decide to go after something that excites you, you're literally one person against 8 billion, which means most people will think you're being unreasonable. Memorable Quotes “A reasonable person settles for mundane. A reasonable person just kind of goes along with it.” “Unreasonable people will create a different reality for themselves to begin with and then for everybody around them.” “You don't think you're being unreasonable. You think you're totally reasonable for the goals you want to accomplish.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Stop going along to get along when it conflicts with your goals and values. Recognize that what feels reasonable to you will seem unreasonable to most other people, and that's okay. Stand your ground when you know you're right, even if it means stepping on some toes.
