IT'S FREEDOM FAMILY FRIDAY This week's Freedom Family Friday covers six stories that the mainstream media either buried, botched, or refused to ask the second question on. From a professor who wants to infect you with ticks to make you vegan, to Shawn Ryan's three-hour blackpill session with Megyn Kelly, to the ballot counting in Los Angeles that just keeps going — we break down what's actually happening and why it matters.
It's been a curious fortnight in European tech.There was a fresh bout of anxiety after US AI giant Anthropic announced its latest funding round — which, at $65bn, is nearing the amount raised by the entire European ecosystem last year.But there's also growing pushback against the doom and gloom. This week, VC firm Balderton launched its “Built in Europe” campaign, aimed at celebrating the continent's successes and reshaping the way the ecosystem portrays itself. On this week's episode of the Sifted podcast, host Freya Pratty chats to senior reporter Daphné Leprince-Ringuet and news editor Martin Coulter about whether European tech is finally shaking off its inferiority complex and if a new, more confident narrative can help the ecosystem better compete on the global stage.Sign up to our daily newsletter here: https://sifted.eu/newsletters
The second Trump administration started off with incredible momentum. In addition to the fast pace of executive orders, the Right was gaining cultural momentum. People no longer had to hide their support of MAGA, and mainstream outlets were writing resentful stories about how fashionable Trump fans had become. Now, the administration can't even keep has-been musicians from publicly abandoning the country's 250th anniversary celebration. Columnist Scott Greer joins me to discuss what happened along with the latest updates on the war in Iran.

On today’s episode of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts live from Washington, D.C., as Iran rejects key elements of President Trump’s peace proposal, prompting new concerns that the ceasefire may collapse, with retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward joining to discuss the possibility of renewed military action, China’s role in negotiations, and fallout from Senator Mark Kelly discussing sensitive military information on television.

Meghan's guest this week is British journalist and author Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer at Spiked and author of Vibe Shift: The Revolt Against Wokeness, Greenism and Technocracy. Brendan talks about what he sees as a growing "vibe shift" away from elite consensus and toward something like common sense—though not without its own distortions. He and Meghan discuss the UK's role in pushing back on gender ideology (aka "TERF Island"), the uneasy state of free speech on both sides of the Atlantic, and why ordinary people seemed to tolerate cultural excesses until they suddenly didn't. They also touch on the rise of unserious, meme-driven politics, the infantilization of public discourse (with Greta Thunberg as an emblematic if also profoundly dysfunctional figure), and the strange convergence of hectoring moralism on one side and gleeful nihilism on the other. Finally, Brendan reflects on his own journey from revolutionary communist to free speech absolutist, and why he thinks we may be inching slowly back toward a politics grounded less in identity and more in reality. Guest Bio; Brendan O'Neill is the chief political writer at Spiked and host of The Brendan O'Neill Show. He's also the author of several books, including Anti-Woke, A Duty to Offend, A Heretic's Manifesto, and most recently, Vibe Shift: The Revolt Against Wokeness, Greenism and Technocracy.

Im Winter 2024 prägte der Historiker Niall Ferguson einen Begriff, der seitdem die politische Debatte dominiert: Vibe Shift. Die Trump-Wahl war für ihn das Zeichen eines globalen Stimmungsumschwungs. Die Vorherrschaft der Linksliberalen sei gebrochen, die alte Ordnung falle in sich zusammen. Es beginne eine neue Zeit der Stärke und Dominanz, in der die globale Rechte den Ton angebe. Anderthalb Jahre später ist Victor Orban abgewählt. Und auch Donald Trump steht schwächer da denn je. Seit einigen Monaten taumelt er von Niederlage zu Niederlage und in seiner MAGA-Bewegung toben brutale Richtungskämpfe. In dieser Lage treffen sich Sozialdemokraten aus der ganzen Welt zu einer großen Strategiekonferenz in Barcelona. In dieser Folge von Was Jetzt – der Wahlkreis fragen unsere Hosts Lisa Caspari, Paul Middelhoff und Robert Pausch: Welchen Plan hat die Linke? Was sind die Gründe für den Streit bei den Rechten? Und konmt Trumps Überwältigungsstrategie an ein Ende?

This episode is a wide-ranging conversation between Jacob and Swyx (Shawn Wang), an AI engineer, podcaster, and now operator at Cognition, who sits at a uniquely informed intersection of builder, investor, and community organizer in the AI world. The two cover the current state of the AI engineering zeitgeist: from the stabilization of agent infrastructure and the surprising stickiness of Claude Code, to the competitive dynamics of the AI coding wars, the rise of open models, the threat to traditional SaaS, and the frontier questions around world models, memory, and what it actually means for AI to "understand" something. The episode is grounded in practitioner-level candor, with Swyx offering real takes from running AIE conferences, working inside Cognition, and thinking deeply about what the next wave of AI-native software development looks like.

Es gibt ihn via Webplayer & RSS-Feed (zum Hören im Podcatcher deiner Wahl, auch bei Apple Podcasts und Spotify). Alle Infos: neuezwanziger.de Shownotes Wolfgang und Stefan blicken auf die aktuelle Nachrichtenlage und diskutieren das Ausbleiben einer Positionierung der Bundesregierung zur US-Politik im Iran sowie zu Israels militärischem Vorgehen im Libanon. Stefan berichtet von einer Reise ins Saarland und zieht Parallelen zwischen den Kriegerdenkmälern der Schlacht bei Spichern und der gegenwärtigen geopolitischen Situation. Zudem ordnen sie die neu eingeführten Meldepflichten für wehrfähige Männer in Deutschland ein. Salon Zur vollständigen Ausgabe 00:28:27 Peter Sloterdijk: Der Fürst und seine Erben Wolfgang und Stefan diskutieren anhand von Peter Sloterdijks neuem Buch die Rückkehr autokratischer Führungsfiguren. Sie erläutern, wie Sloterdijk Parallelen zu Machiavellis „Der Fürst“ zieht, um Politiker wie Donald Trump oder Wladimir Putin einzuordnen. Stefan beleuchtet die These, dass moderne Politik zunehmend durch eine kalkulierte „Fernethik“ geprägt sei, während Wolfgang herausarbeitet, inwiefern der Autor ein fatalistisches Bild der gegenwärtigen Demokratie zeichnet. 02:22:53 Sloterdijk in 1 Minute Wolfgang und Stefan fassen die Kernargumente aus Peter Sloterdijks Buch „Der Fürst und seine Erben“ zusammen. Sie resümieren die Diskussion über das Verhältnis von Volk, Macht und autokratischen Tendenzen innerhalb liberaler Demokratien. 02:24:04 Adrian Daub: Was das Valley herrschen nennt Das Gespräch wendet sich Adrian Daubs Analyse der Machtstrukturen im Silicon Valley zu. Wolfgang skizziert, wie Technologie-Milliardäre ihre Plattformen nutzen, um gesellschaftliche Diskurse zu dominieren. Stefan erläutert Daubs Unterscheidung zwischen sogenannten „Caretakern“ und „Creeps“ und wendet diese auf Personen wie Elon Musk an. Gemeinsam betrachten sie die elitäre Abkapselung und die ideologischen Fundamente der Technologiebranche. 03:33:19 Daub in 1 Minute In einem kurzen Fazit bündeln Wolfgang und Stefan die Hauptargumente aus Adrian Daubs Buch. Sie rekapitulieren die vorgebrachte Kritik an der unregulierten Machtausübung und dem Demokratieverständnis der Silicon-Valley-Akteure. 03:34:29 Ben Lerner: Transkription Wolfgang stellt den Roman „Transkription“ von Ben Lerner vor, in dem ein fiktives Interview mit einem 90-jährigen Mentor namens Thomas im Zentrum steht. Er ordnet ein, dass diese Figur stark an den deutschen Autor Alexander Kluge angelehnt ist. Das Gespräch beleuchtet die erzählerischen Ebenen des Buches, insbesondere den Umgang mit Erinnerungen und das Verhältnis der Generationen zueinander. 03:42:13 Haberman, Swan: How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran Ausgehend von einem Artikel der New York Times rekonstruieren Wolfgang und Stefan die regierungsinternen Prozesse in den USA, die zum Krieg mit dem Iran führten. Stefan schildert die Treffen im Situation Room und die Dynamiken zwischen Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanjahu und Beratern wie Marco Rubio. Sie analysieren die Entscheidungsfindung der US-Administration und vergleichen diese Vorgänge mit der zuvor besprochenen Machtanalyse von Sloterdijk. 03:52:26 Jörg Baberowski: Am Volk vorbei Wolfgang präsentiert Jörg Baberowskis Buch „Am Volk vorbei zur Krise der liberalen Demokratie“ als Gegenentwurf zum gängigen Diskurs über den Schutz staatlicher Institutionen. Er gibt Baberowskis These wieder, dass liberale Institutionen und Gerichte den demokratischen Souverän zunehmend entmachten würden. Stefan und Wolfgang debattieren die Kritik des Autors, wonach sich die politische Klasse durch Verrechtlichung vor dem Volkswillen abschirme. 04:08:00 Timothy Snyder: The Next Coup Attempt – And How to Stop It Stefan analysiert einen Text des Historikers Timothy Snyder, der fünf mögliche Szenarien für einen erneuten Putschversuch von Donald Trump skizziert. Stefan bewertet Snyders Ansätze teilweise als realitätsfern, insbesondere im Kontext der parallelen US-Militärhandlungen im Iran. Wolfgang und Stefan vergleichen Snyders Fokus auf den Schutz der Institutionen abschließend mit der zuvor diskutierten Staatskritik von Baberowski. 04:17:28 Roman Widder: »War mir so nicht bewusst« Wolfgang bespricht einen Artikel von Roman Widder aus der Zeitschrift Merkur, der die mediale Rolle deutscher Militärexperten wie Carlo Masala thematisiert. Er referiert Widders Argument, dass der deutschen Öffentlichkeit die tatsächliche innenpolitische und gesellschaftliche Dynamik der Ukraine oftmals vorenthalten bleibe. Stefan und Wolfgang sprechen über die beschriebene Kluft zwischen westeuropäischen Projektionen und den Realitäten innerhalb der ukrainischen Gesellschaft. 04:27:13 Anna Holmes: The People Who Shun Super-Popular Pop Culture Stefan greift einen Text von Anna Holmes aus The Atlantic auf, in dem die Autorin ihre bewusste Vermeidung von Popkultur-Hypes beschreibt. Er erläutert Holmes' Argumentation, dass diese Aversion eine Reaktion auf den Verlust gemeinschaftlicher Seherlebnisse im Streaming-Zeitalter sei. Wolfgang ergänzt die Diskussion durch seine eigene Perspektive zur Allverfügbarkeit von Filmen und Serien. 04:32:33 Fanny Pigeaud: The DRC's security-for-minerals bargain Wolfgang fasst eine Reportage aus Le Monde Diplomatique über den Abbau von Mineralien in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo zusammen. Er beschreibt die marktbeherrschende Stellung Chinas bei Rohstoffen wie Kobalt und Lithium sowie die Versuche der USA, sich über private Initiativen Anteile zu sichern. Zudem verortet er die rohstoffpolitischen Interessen in dem anhaltenden bewaffneten Konflikt in der afrikanischen Region. 04:37:09 Alexander Malofeev: forgotten melodies Zum Abschluss verweist Wolfgang auf das Doppelalbum „Forgotten Melodies“ des Pianisten Alexander Malofeev. Er beschreibt die Werkauswahl, die Stücke von exilierten russischen Komponisten wie Nikolai Medtner und Sergej Rachmaninow umfasst. Zudem geht er kurz auf die musikalische Ausführung und die Hintergrundgeschichte der Kompositionen ein. Literatur Die Zeit der "großen" Männer ist keineswegs vorüber: Peter Sloterdijk schlägt für sein Buch "Der Fürst und seine Erben" Machiavellis "Der Fürst" auf und entdeckt deutliche Parallelen zu unserer Gegenwart mit Putin, Musk und Trump. https://www.suhrkamp.de/buch/peter-sloterdijk-der-fuerst-und-seine-erben-t-9783518001363 Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos und Mark Zuckerberg sind die ungekrönten Könige des Silicon Valley.

In seinem Buch "Am Volk vorbei" kritisiert er die liberale Demokratie und ihre Verfechter: https://www.chbeck.de/baberowski-volk-vorbei/product/40038683 Der Yale-Historiker Timothy Snyder buchstabiert in einem viel gelesenen Substack-Essay fünf historische Drehbücher durch, nach denen Trump im Schatten des Iran-Kriegs einen Putsch versuchen könnte - und was dagegen zu setzen wäre: https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-coup-attempt Der Schriftsteller Roman Widder rechnet mit den Ukraine-Experten in den deutschen Medien ab: https://www.merkur-zeitschrift.de/artikel/war-mir-nicht-so-bewusst-a-mr-80-3-54/ Die Atlantic-Autorin Anna Holmes wundert sich über ihre eigene Abneigung gegen alles, was gerade alle gucken müssen - "The Pitt", "Severance", "Slow Horses" - und kommt nach Gesprächen mit drei Sozialpsychologen zu einer überraschenden Diagnose: Nicht der Hype stört sie, sondern die einsame, asynchrone Rezeption, die das Streaming hinterlassen hat: https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026/03/pop-culture-hype-aversion/686312/ Fanny Pigeaud schreibt in "Le Monde diplomatique" über den Mineralienabbau im Kongo: https://mondediplo.com/2026/03/09DRC Der Pianist Alexander Malofeev widmet sich auf seinem Debütalbum "forgotten melodies" russischen Komponisten, die im Exil lebten: https://www.sonyclassical.com/releases/releases-details/forgotten-melodies full Stefan und Wolfgang treffen sich vor dem Salon no Stefan Schulz und Wolfgang M.

Von Buchhandlungspreis bis zur Berlinale. Die Liste der Konflikte um Wolfram Weimer ist lang, der Protest aus der Kulturszene laut. Plant der ehemalige Verleger einen konservativen "Vibe Shift"? Fehlt ihm Handwerkszeug für Politik? Lindner, Nadine; Balzer, Vladimir; Koldehoff, Stefan
Increasingly, it seems that a very public and nationalized Christianity is bouncing back as a live, contested question around the world, and there's a temptation to exist on the extremes of either loyalty to the point of idolatry, or total opposition to the point of suspicion of the human beings we need to get along with every day. That creates a dilemma for Christian witness, one that can perhaps only be solved by the courage and fortitude to live in the tension this creates, honoring everyone's dignity, and not falling into a gross idolatry of the state. Oxford's Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology Luke Bretherton joins Ryan McAnnally-Linz to name what's happening as Christianity sees a resurgence in democratic public life, and what faithful witness demands. In this episode, Bretherton reflects on Christianity's re-emergence and the theology it requires. Together they discuss the real-time collapse of secular progressivism, democratic agency, Augustine on glory and shame, how media monetizes suspicion, why community organizing outlasts protest, and how the church might tell a truer—and more costly—story about common life. Episode Highlights "The plausibility structure of Christianity is kind of back in play in the post-progressive vibe shift." "We want to have enemies—it's really hard to organize the world around love of enemies, and it's hard to make money off love of enemies." "How do you express loyalty to your particular political community—loyalty without idolatry?" "The giving over of responsibility is itself an act of self-dehumanizing." "The uncle who drives you crazy at Thanksgiving is also the one who turns up with a bake when your child is ill—that's how idolatry works." About Luke Bretherton Luke Bretherton is Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at Oxford, director of the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics, and Public Life, and a canon of Christ Church. Previously at Duke University and King's College London, his work spans political theology, democracy, and grassroots politics. He hosts the Listen, Organize, Act! podcast. Books include A Primer in Christian Ethics (Cambridge, 2023), Christ and the Common Life, and Christianity and Contemporary Politics.

Local social trust still holds; national trust collapsed Social media systems that profit from suspicion: monetized idolatry "We want to have enemies—it's really hard to organize the world around love of enemies, and it's hard to make money off love of enemies."

In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Thomas Wasson dives deep into the major geopolitical events impacting global supply chains, specifically focusing on recent attacks in the Persian Gulf and the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The show analyzes the ripple effects of these events on energy markets and maritime routes, highlighting how supply chains have become central to modern geopolitical calculus.The episode also covers a significant legal development in the parcel industry: class-action lawsuits against FedEx and UPS following the Supreme Court's rollback of Trump-era emergency tariffs. In the market update segment, Wasson uses Sonar data to explore why tender rejection rates and spot market rates—particularly in the flatbed segment—are defying seasonal norms and staying “higher for longer”. Finally, the show wraps up with “Thomas Wasson's Random Musings,” a look at emerging trucking technology and industry trends. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Was the Supreme Court's tariff case Friday a no-lose case for conservatives, as Steve argues in this fast-paced episode, or a serious setback for President Trump? We were just surprised John Yoo had any voice left at all to break it down for us after being on call throughout the day for Fox News, but he saved his best for us. Hint: The fact that the three liberals on the Court wrote concurring opinions disagreeing with Chief Justice Roberts's reasoning behind the decision suggests some useful mischief at work in the decision. The second half of this episode turns briefly to whether the "vibe shift" against wokism is really taking place, with caveats about whether it will survive Trump's presidency, or be reversed by the next Democrat who lies their way into the White House. Not only is the Wokerati engaging in "massive resistance" to steps to end government-sponsored racism and human nature-denying trans-axels, but some Democrats are darkly threatening retribution for people and institutions that are abandoning DEI and other wokist totems right now.

After circling the theme for a long time, we finally found the right entry point: scarcity. Scarcity here doesn't only refer to economic downturns — Hollywood strikes, collapsing box office numbers, or the cost-of-living crisis. It points to something deeper: a collective psychological state in which the imagination of a better future has eroded. When confidence disappears, desire curdles into resentment, sarcasm, and anger. We talk about a Korean film in which an unemployed man systemically eliminates his competitors just to survive. We discuss the collapse of Hollywood's liberal narrative framework. We explore why Gen Z no longer believes in Harry Potter–style heroism. In an era defined by polarization, atomization, and algorithmic manipulation, how do we find an antidote? Perhaps the answer lies in doing things that feel inefficient but concrete — bringing vegetables to a neighbor, telling a story slowly and carefully. 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 什么是“匮乏感”?它不只是缺钱,而是对未来失去信心。当希望消失,欲望会转化为愤怒和犬儒。 05:30 从《无路可逃》和《爱丁顿》说起。当资源紧缩,他人变成路障。传统“供养者”男性叙事在现代系统中崩塌。 12:11 自由主义叙事开始失效。观众厌倦好莱坞的说教,《The Studio》揭示的是文化工业的瘫痪与精英脱节。 23:36 代际断裂。为什么 Gen Z 对《哈利波特》那种九十年代式的乐观主义越来越无感,Gen Z 成长于极化与停滞之中,不再相信善恶分明的世界。 36:00 我们开始怀旧:布拉德·皮特和《F1》是一个典型例子,电影构建了一个没有政治争议、只有输赢规则的世界。传统男性气概重新被召唤。你爹还是你爹。这种叙事满足了人们对确定性的渴望,也提供了一种逃避复杂现实的方式。 47:50 性别角色回潮。《爱情盲选》和 tradwife 现象反映了在极化时代中对安全感的表演式追寻。 55: 50 AI 并未带来连接,反而放大分裂,我们开始怀疑“科技救世”的神话。《神奇四侠》中的技术乐观主义不复存在。 1:23:30 西方社会 生活成本危机加剧匮乏感。算法利用焦虑制造争吵,社交网络赛博巴尔干化是什么? 1:35:30 结语 拒绝犬儒,从具体行动开始。真实的连接或许是对抗虚无的唯一方式。 00:00 What is “scarcity”? It's not just financial lack, but a loss of faith in the future. When hope disappears, desire turns into anger and cynicism. 05:30 We begin with No Other Choice and Eddington. As resources shrink, other people become obstacles. The traditional male “provider” narrative collapses within the modern system. 12:11 The liberal narrative loses its grip. Audiences are exhausted by Hollywood moralizing. The Studio exposes paralysis within the cultural industry and its detachment from ordinary life. 23:36 A generational rupture. Why Gen Z no longer connects with 1990s optimism like Harry Potter. Raised amid polarization and stagnation, they no longer believe in a morally clear world. 36:00 We turn to nostalgia. Brad Pitt and F1 serve as a key example. The film constructs a world without political conflict — only winners and losers. Traditional masculinity is revived. “Daddy is still daddy.” It satisfies a longing for certainty and offers escape from complexity. 47:50 The return of gender roles. Love Is Blind and the tradwife phenomenon reflect a performative search for safety in a polarized age. 55:50 AI did not bring connection; it amplified division. We begin to question the myth of technological salvation. The technological optimism of Fantastic Four no longer holds. 1:23:30 The Western cost-of-living crisis deepens scarcity. Algorithms exploit anxiety and manufacture endless conflict. What does cyber-Balkanization of social networks mean? 1:35:30 Conclusion. Reject cynicism and begin with concrete action. Real human connection may be the only antidote to nihilism. 【拓展链接 The Links】 阿花: Beyond the Machine: Creative agency in the AI landscape Personal canon by Celine Nguyen Remaking Liberalism: The Past, Present, and Future of Freedom by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson 配图:从1998年开始的价格变化 影视/剧集: 电影《无路可逃》(No Other Choice / The AX) 电影《爱丁顿》(Eddington) 电影《F1》 电影《神奇四侠》(Fantastic 4) 剧集《The Studio》 真人秀《爱情盲选》(Love is Blind) 剧集《Abbott Elementary》 书籍/人物/概念: Daron Acemoglu (经济学家) Hanif Abdurraqib (作家/诗人) Tradwife (传统家庭主妇风潮) Cyber-Balkanization (赛博巴尔干化) Identity Politics (身份政治) 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外,疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号,我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么,快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

A few months ago, as part of the research for his forthcoming book What Tech Calls Governing, Adrian took a drive down Highway 101 from San Francisco to Palo Alto and back. This episode is about what the billboards along that stretch of highway tell us about Silicon Valley, about our tech elites, and about how technology is remaking society (it's not in the way you think).If you'd like to buy Adrian's book, it's available for pre-order in the German edition only for now.If you'd like to check out the work of Wendy Liu, whose column that Adrian and Moira refer to in the episode (and who did the drive with Adrian), you can find that here and here.
Brendan O'Neill, author and writer for Spiked Online, and Suella Braverman, Reform spokeswoman for education, skills and equalities, come on The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show to discuss the war on woke and Reform UK's new ‘shadow cabinet'. Reform UK announced the first four members of their ‘shadow cabinet': the spokespeople for various ministerial roles that would make up Reform's cabinet if they get into power. Zia Yusuf was announced as ‘shadow home secretary',Richard Tice was announced as business, trade and energy spokesman and would be deputy PM, Robert Jenrick was announced as ‘shadow chancellor of the exchequer', And Suella Braverman was announced as education, skills and equalities spokeswoman. She vowed to repeal the Equality Act and stop schools from creating the ‘next generation of eco-zealots'. Brendan O'Neill has just written a book - Vibe Shift - that outlines how ordinary, working class people have fought against the out-of-touch political, media and business classes to rally against woke-ism on climate, Brexit, and transgenderism. Also: Labour's U-turn on council elections, as they announced 30 council elections would go ahead in May. Steve Reed, minister for local government, had previously sought to delay them as authorities were reorganised. But there was public outcry, as democracy would have been denied for over four million people. Reform were polling well in many of the districts that were going to have their vote denied. And how the ECHR could be used to enable family members of Gazan refugees to come to Britain. Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

Damir's back from Ukraine, still buzzing — and feeling weird about it. He and Christine talk about the thrill and guilt associated with reporting from war zones, the ethical implications of war tourism, and the psychological toll on both journalists and civilians. The conversation then shifts to Trump and a possibly looming war with Venezuela. The Trump administration has cowed many a politician, but the fear seems to be ebbing.

This week on Sinica, I welcome back Jeremy Goldkorn, co-founder of the show and my longtime co-host, to revisit the "vibe shift" we first discussed back in February. Seven months on, what we sensed then has fully borne out — there's been a measurable softening in American attitudes toward China, reflected not just in polling data but in media coverage, podcast discussions, and public discourse. We dig into what's driving this shift: the chaos of American politics making China look competent by comparison, the end of Wolf Warrior diplomacy, the gutting of China hawks in the Trump administration, Trump's own transactional G2 enthusiasm, and the generational divide in how younger Americans encounter China through TikTok rather than legacy media. We also discuss the limits of this shift, the dangers of overcorrection, and what it feels like to watch the fever break after years of panic and absolutism in U.S.-China discourse.5:29 – The [beep] show in America as the biggest factor 8:38 – China hawks deflated: from Pompeo to Navarro's pivot to India 11:21 – Ben Smith's piece on the end of a decade of China hawkism 13:30 – Eric Schmidt and Selina Xu's Atlantic piece on tech decoupling 17:17 – Long-form China podcasts: Dwarkesh Patel with Arthur Kroeber, Lex Fridman with Keyu Jin 19:35 – Jeremy's personal vibe shift: distance from The China Project and renewed perspective 23:33 – The world turning to predictability and stability 26:05 – The Chicago Council poll: dramatic shift away from containment 29:09 – The generational shift: TikTok, infrastructure porn, and Gen Z's globalized worldview 31:15 – The end of Wolf Warrior diplomacy and why it mattered 37:03 – Kaiser's "Great Reckoning" essay and why it didn't get the usual hate 39:00 – The destruction of Twitter and the vicious China discourse culture 41:10 – The pendulum swinging too far: China fanboys and new hubris 43:20 – How the vibe shift looks from inside China Paying it forward: Echo Tang (Berlin Independent Chinese Film Festival organizer) and Zhu Rikun (New York Chinese Independent Film Festival organizer)Recommendations: Jeremy: Ja No Man: Growing Up in Apartheid Era South Africa by Richard Poplak Kaiser: Rhyming Chaos podcast with Jeremy Goldkorn and Maria RepnikovaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Erik Torenberg joins to debate whether recent developments suggest AI progress is slowing down or stalling, addressing arguments from Cal Newport and others. Nathan counters this view by highlighting significant qualitative advances, including 100X context window expansion, real-time interactive voice, improved reasoning, vision, and AI's growing contributions to hard sciences. The conversation then covers AI's impact on the labor market, the potential for AI protectionism, and concerns about recursive self-improvement. This episode argues that AI capabilities are not stopping, with frontier developers seeing a clear path for continued rapid progress in the coming years.

Today on Unsupervised Learning, Razib talks to Kat Rosenfield. She is an American novelist, journalist, and culture critic known for both her fiction and commentary on contemporary political debates. She began her career in publishing and as a reporter for MTV News before branching out into broader cultural criticism, contributing to outlets such as The New York Times, Wired, Vulture, Reason, and UnHerd. As a novelist, she has written You Must Remember This (2023), No One Will Miss Her (2021), Inland (2014) and Amelia Anne Is Dead and Gone (2012). Rosenfield also co-authored the New York Times bestselling A Trick of Light (2019) with Stan Lee. She is currently a contributor to The Free Press and a co-host of the Feminine Chaos podcast. In the four years since Rosenfield was last on Unsupervised Learning the “culture wars” have seen a changing of the front lines; the woke ascendancy is no more, Elon Musk purchased Twitter, and Donald J. Trump is back in the Whitehouse. After the recording of this podcast Rosenfield was the target of a “cancellation” campaign due to her making light of white liberal gushing over the prose stylings of Ta-Nehisi Coates. But this being 2025, Rosenfield seemed more amused than afraid of the concerted attempt to “drag” her online and notify her employers. The first portion of this podcast discusses where we are now in the culture wars, how things have broadly changed, and which institutional pockets of the old woke ascendancy remain. Rosenfield and Razib also discuss the rise of gender polarization in online culture, and in particular, among Gen-Z.
【聊了什么The What】 在“女权疲劳”与“woke倦怠”之后,美国流行文化正在经历一场“女性气质”的回潮(Vibe Shift):保守女性气质重新流行起来。本期节目我们深入聊了姐妹会文化、MAGA美妆、还有TikTok上那些看似“非政治”的倡导健康生活的视频,是如何一步步把女性重新绑回“温柔、克制、顺从”的模子里,在无形中复活了反女性主义的观念。从阿拉巴马大学的 Bama Rush 现象到 Sydney Sweeney 的“cool girl”形象,这场Vibe Shift不仅是审美的变化,更是一种政治与文化的再编码,当流行文化把政治意识形态与个人价值混为一谈,什么样的女性故事被放大,又有哪些被抹去? As part two of our Vibe Shift Trilogy, this episode dives into the return of conservative femininity in American pop culture today. We dive into pop culture moments such as Bama Rush, MAGA beauty trends on TikTok, the rise of wellness influencers and how their “apolitical” content is quietly reviving anti-feminist ideals of the olden days. The vibe shift isn't just about aesthetics, but a recoding of culture and politics. In this shift, we question what kinds of stories of womanhood get amplified — and which are erased? 【时间轴 The When】 1:30: Sydney Sweeney 牛仔裤广告的争议,保守派审美的回归 8:00 “男人圈” vs “女人圈” 文化是如何通过健身、美容等“非政治”话题,随后逐渐渗入反女性主义和厌女的意识形态。 11:20 女人圈的健康类头部播客如何散播保守女性主义,“健康 = 美丽 = 道德” 14:20 自由派女性叙事倦怠,保守叙事趁虚而入 23:48 从Bama Rush大学姐妹会文化来看美国南方保守主义的女性理想 38:44 保守叙事下新一代女性的人生理想是如何变成寻找值得依靠的伴侣 1:30 Sydney Sweeney and her jeans/genes and the return of the conservative femininity 8:00 – “manosphere” vs “womanosphere” cultures use seemingly non-political topics like fitness and beauty to gradually introduce anti-feminist and misogynistic ideologies 11:20 – top women's health podcasts in the “womanosphere” spread conservative femininity, promoting the idea that “Health = Beauty = Morality” 14:20 – Fatigue with liberal female narratives opens the door for conservative messaging 23:48 – Examining ideals of Southern conservative femininity through Bama Rush and Greek life 38:44 – The reinvention of the feminist ideal: securing a reliable partner and what that means for society 【拓展链接 The Links】 社会学家Anne Helen Petersen关于Bama Rush的文章,链接 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外,疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号,我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么,快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comI've been struggling to figure what what time we're in, post Vibe Shift. Pirate Wires founder Mike Solana finally articulated what I'd been thinking without knowing I was thinking it: We're in a Culture Cold War. I felt a burning need to discuss this, and so we did, plus many other media/culture topics. Subjects include but aren't limited to…* Christopher Rufo vs. Doreen St. Félix leading to nothing = Culture Cold War* Why nobody is able to cancel anyone else now* Are we in a Culture Cold War forever?* Is culture NOT zero sum?* How the Internet breaks our moral intuitions* PTSD for those of us who remained sane in 2020* The “you can't criticize me” defense from those who just lost cultural power* We will never have a shared reality ever again* Culture War matters* How Mike would advise Disney on how to win back Zoomer males* Why does “moral inversion” exist and why is it prevalent now?* Why Mike supports hearing Aella out, but understands the backlash to her

Artificial Intelligence threatens to storm the office as tech companies compete to replace entry-level workers with “agent” underlings. Will this be the next major technological displacement in the workforce? And to what end? Meanwhile, this “Pride month” has lacked the eruption of rainbows typical of June. Is a Pride Shift to go along with the Vibe Shift underway? This week, Blaze Media editor-in-chief and now Claremont Washington Fellow Matthew Peterson joins the guys to discuss the ramifications of AI, the containment of Pride, and to dispense good bad movie recommendations!
As so-called “Pride Month” begins, Christians must recommit to our most important relationships. ________________ Register for the 2025 Great Lakes Symposium, “Truth, Love, and Humor: Faith Without Fear” at colsoncenter.org/truth. Learn more about Fidelity Month at fidelitymonth.com.
