Podcasts about Walther

Robbie sits down with Kristie Gill, a PhD student out of the College of Natural Resources at the University of Georgia, doing her field work in South Africa. Kristie has an incredible journey from an anti hunter to actually becoming PRO hunting and the evolution of her preconceived notions to opening her eyes to the realities of wildlife conservation. This all started with her first visit to South Africa and someone taking the time to explain to her the value of sustainable use of wildlife.  Do you have questions we can answer?

In this episode of Iron Sights, Scott sits down with Anthony Coley of Aegis Consulting at the Texas Tactical Police Officers Association Conference in Round Rock, Texas to unpack one of the most detailed, honest, and actionable roadmaps for changing firearms culture at the agency level you will ever hear.Anthony walks through everything: the professional class taker problem, how competition shooting cracked open his understanding of real-world performance, and why getting bit by the PCSL bug turned into a mission to drag as many officers with him as possible. He does not pull punches about the resistance he faced from inside his own firearms unit, the admin conversations he had to be fully loaded for, and why good enough has never been good enough to him. This is the debrief you wish you could have with the guy quietly grinding in the background of every department while everyone else is doing the bare minimum.And then Kim Pastore Pastore walks in. The founder of the Jorge Pastore Foundation joins Scott and Anthony live on the floor to drop a major announcement: Anthony Coley is officially the Foundation's new Director of Training. The conversation that follows is equal parts raw and inspiring, built on a shared belief that the ripple effects of good training touch officers and families in ways you will never fully see. The legacy match, the PCSL monthly shoots at Texas Shooting Academy, the nationwide reach: it is all coming. And this episode is where it starts.In this episode:• The professional class taker trap: Anthony explains how taking course after course without deliberate instructor-mode observation turns into diminishing returns, and how flipping that lens into instructor development makes every class exponentially more valuable• Competition as a gunfight simulator: Anthony breaks down hit factor math from his first match, showing exactly why a slower shooter with cleaner hits still loses to a faster shooter with acceptable hits, and why that calculus maps directly to real threat encounters• The survey before the pitch: before approaching administration, Anthony personally talked to every officer in the agency one on one, built a spreadsheet of who had red dots, who had zero formal training on them, and compiled case law on liability before walking into the chief's office armed with an answer for every possible question• The cookie cutter problem in firearms instruction: Anthony's baking analogy makes the case that a single teaching method guarantees you will always produce students missing an arm, and that instructor development means accumulating 20 different ways to explain the same concept• Inside the Red Dot class: 400 rounds, five hard-fought hours, aggressive trigger manipulation drills starting cold with zero classroom warmup, self-diagnosis doubles, and a final volley at 25 yards where exhausted officers shoot the best groups of their lives• Building up instead of down: Anthony explains why he went to line-level officers first, then patrol shift lieutenants, then commanders, then administration, so that demand for training was already visible before he ever made a formal ask• The Legacy Match origin story: a customer service mistake on an optic plate, a single giveaway stage, 24 brands cold-called into donating prizes, and a sold-out 100-person law enforcement only PCSL match that spawned a monthly series at Texas Shooting Academy in Florence, TexasChapters:0:03 Episode intro and Scott's mission statement0:59 Setting the scene: TTPOA Conference1:26 Introducing Anthony Coley and Aegis Consulting2:20 Anthony's background: CHP, Texas, canine, and the training gap5:20 The professional class taker problem9:08 Getting into competition shooting12:25 Competition as a gunfight simulator: hit factor explained15:35 Confidence, competency, and isolating deficiencies through competition22:32 How the Legacy Match started by accident26:23 Anthony's backstory: broken leg, CHP academy, and training mentality56:07 Building the case for agency red dot training1:28:04 Kim Pastore joins: announcing Anthony as JPF Director of TrainingMentioned:Anthony Coley — Guest, law enforcement officer, canine handler, PCSL competitor, firearms instructor, and founder of Aegis Consulting, announced as the Jorge Pastore Foundation's Director of Training during this episode.Gabe Rivera — Active California LE SWAT officer and instructor at Mindset Tactical Solutions, credited with introducing Anthony to the term 'professional class taker' and referenced as an upcoming guest on Iron Sights.Rick Crawley — Founder and chief instructor of Achilles Heel Tactical, whose dinner conversation pushed Anthony to stop waiting and start shooting competitions immediately.Dave Mehulma — Instructor from Slick Training Solutions who taught the intro to competitive shooting class where Anthony was first invited to shoot a live match.Kim Pastore — Founder of the Jorge Pastore Foundation, who surprised Anthony on air to announce his appointment as Director of Training for the foundation.Jorge Pastore — Austin PD SWAT officer killed in the line of duty whose legacy inspired the foundation; Anthony had made an Instagram post honoring him that first connected him with Kim Pastore Pastore.Paul Costa — Contact who connected Anthony with Ron from Walther, helping secure demo guns for the agency demo day that eventually snowballed into the Legacy Match.Jordan — Owner and representative of Ryze manufacturer, whose accidental shipment of a wrong optic plate sparked the idea for Anthony's first competition giveaway stage.Aaron — Owner of Texas Shooting Academy, described as a big three-gun and competition shooter, who signed up for the Legacy Match and whose facility hosts the monthly PCSL matches.Eric Foss — Associated with Howitzer, running competitions and working alongside Gabe Rivera to give back to the law enforcement community in Southern California.Rafael — Prior Iron Sights guest from Northern California who competed at a Howitzer match and performed very well, helping spread competition culture in his region.

En este video analizamos la historia de las llamadas tropas Seydlitz, el papel de los oficiales alemanes prisioneros en la URSS y el intento de crear una fuerza militar alemana opuesta a Hitler. ¿Cómo surgió la Liga de Oficiales Alemanes y el Comité Nacional por una Alemania Libre? ¿Fue propaganda soviética o un verdadero intento de provocar una rebelión dentro del ejército alemán?

In this episode, we discuss some NFA legal stuff on the horizon, Walther not making the PPK anymore, why M7A1 and the 6.8×51 is dumb, Mantis TitanX, and a whole lot more. Enjoy! -S_S

In dieser Episode spricht Franziska Walter über ihren Weg vom erfolgreichen Karriere- und Leistungsträger zur Selbstfindung. Sie begann als Offizierin bei der Bundeswehr, stellte jedoch bald fest, dass trotz äußerem Erfolg etwas Entscheidendes in ihrem Leben fehlte. Der Wendepunkt kam mit Panikattacken, die sie dazu zwangen, ihre innere Welt zu hinterfragen und sich selbst neu zu definieren. Durch die Kraft der Fotografie entdeckte sie, wie Bilder als Spiegel ihrer Emotionen dienen können und wie wichtig es ist, sich mit der eigenen Identität auseinanderzusetzen. Nach dieser Transformation lebt sie heute ein erfülltes Leben, das sowohl beruflichen als auch persönlichen Erfolg vereint. Ihr Learning für andere Unternehmer: Der Schlüssel zur Veränderung liegt nicht im äußeren Umfeld, sondern in der inneren Reflexion. Die Frage „Wozu mache ich das?“ hilft, alte Muster zu erkennen und neue Wege zu gehen. Wenn du also das Gefühl hast, im Hamsterrad zu stecken, könnte es an der Zeit sein, deine eigene Galerie zu durchforsten und zu entdecken, was du wirklich willst. Mach den ersten Schritt in dein Unternehmer-Reset und finde heraus, was dich wirklich antreibt!

Double Tap - Ep 471 JULY 20, 2026 PRESENTED BY This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Foxtrot Mike (Code: WLSISLIFE) Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Rost Martin (Code: WLSISLIFE) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Flatline Fiber Co (Code: WLS15) Giveaways!! GAW   Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   GOA GOALS Aug 1-2 in Iowa. https://goals.goa.org/ Dear WLS Question from Mitch C What is the cast's opinion on the most minimalist gun to carry and method of carry? I don't usually carry my Sig P365 on me because of work and the movements I do. It's not because of any gay ass work place policy, I'm just a bitch I guess. But I do want to carry more and the Bodyguard 2.0 caught my attention for either pocket carry or just the tiniest gun and holster that isn't too intrusive to me rolling on the ground, climbing ladders, or other manual labor that's currently keeping me from carrying my 365. What's the smallest you would go? .25 ACP? Life card (JK LOL)? I know none of those options are as good as 9 but I'm thinking something is better than hopes and prayers if I need it. Question from Two Right Bear Arms Have you had a chance to run a magnifier optic behind a Mediator XL? Is Gideon making a magnifier for it already? Do you even like magnifier optics? #Gideonverse no notes Question from Tony D I'd like to use the under-bed storage in my RV to stash some firearms, ammo, and gear are there any good products for organizing that kind of space out would I be better off building something custom? Question from Nick B Looking to build a trash panda from the gatalog and was wondering if there would be any issues going 338 arc suppressed since it wasn't originally designed for it. Any suggestion on spec comparisons I should be looking at to see if I can go this route? Thanks Question from Spank Me Jeremy I recently got a new pistol. I plan to put niightfision sights on it. My question is should I get the normal sight height or get the red dot height in case I put an optic on it? Does having the optic height one mess with how you shoot if you don't have an optic on the pistol? Question from AinYourFace A couple of episodes ago, probably 20 by the time this gets read, Shawn dropped the “when I used to work at Dragon Man.” How have I not heard about this before. I have never been there but it seems like a crazy place and some big personalities. How about a short, non-hunting story, rundown of what is was like working there? #SSB Gun Industry News Tokarev TT-12 PRO 12GA Semi-Auto Shotgun The Tokarev TT-12 PRO is a 2025 AR/M4-style 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun featuring fully ambidextrous controls, modular aluminum receiver with M-LOK handguard and Picatinny rails, reversible charging handle, Cerakote finish, and compatibility with MKA/T-Trident9 magazines.

"Embrace a wide range of interests—curiosity leads to growth." Episode Summary In this episode, we chopped it up with Chris Long, the marketing manager from Walther Arms.

Chris gave us the inside scoop on Walther's latest projects, the rare and collectible Meister Series pistols, and his approach to partnerships and gun industry innovation. We dug into Walther's product philosophy, customizing PDP pistols, and the rising trend of performance-minded female shooters.

In this Lutheran sermon on the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds (Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43), we explore why the visible Church on earth is always a mixed field of wheat and weeds, and why Christ calls us to patience rather than premature judgment. Preached in the confessional, Law-and-Gospel tradition of C.F.W. Walther and the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), this message unpacks the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 11A Gospel reading, showing how the Householder's patience protects the wheat until the final harvest at the Last Day. Drawing on Isaiah 44:8, Romans 8:18, 1 Corinthians 4:5, 2 Timothy 2:19, and Colossians 3:3, this sermon proclaims both the Law's warning against impatience and self-righteous judgment, and the Gospel's comfort that Christ alone knows and keeps His own. We also connect this parable to the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed, the holiness of the Church, and the Real Presence of Christ's body and blood in the Lord's Supper. Subscribe for more confessional Lutheran sermons, Law and Gospel preaching, and in-depth looks at the Small Catechism and the Lutheran Confessions each week.☕ Support this ministry: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphOr find me at: buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags#LutheranSermon #LawAndGospel #LCMS #WheatAndWeeds #RealPresence

Quando si parla di Brasile possono entrare in campo opinioni ed esperienze diverse, per questo serve sempre fare chiarezza e fornire agli imprenditori le informazioni corrette per leggere e comprendere questo mercato. E qual è lo strumento migliore per farlo ? I numeri, perchè i numeri non mentono!

Led by the Spirit, Not Driven by the Flesh — a confessional Lutheran sermon on Romans 8:12–14, preached in the tradition of C.F.W. Walther's Law and Gospel distinction. In this LCMS (Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod) sermon, Pastor David P. Balla explores what it truly means to live the Christian life — not as self-improvement or willpower, but as a daily dying and rising accomplished by the Holy Spirit through Holy Baptism, God's Word, Absolution, and the Lord's Supper. Drawing from Romans 8, Matthew 13:22, and Isaiah 55:12–13, this sermon explains the biblical doctrine of sanctification, the meaning of daily contrition and repentance, and how Luther's Small Catechism teaching on Baptism connects directly to St. Paul's call to put the flesh to death. This is confessional Lutheran preaching rooted in the Book of Concord, Francis Pieper's Christian Dogmatics, and Holy Scripture as the final authority — free from American evangelical decision theology. Perfect for those seeking sound LCMS doctrine, Law and Gospel preaching, Baptismal theology, and daily devotional encouragement in the Christian faith.☕ Support this ministry: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalph

Wer in den Geschichtsbüchern nicht vorkommt, bleibt unsichtbar. Das will die Historikerin Bianca Walther ändern und hat sich der Geschichte von Frauen angenommen. In ihrem Debutwerk „Die Vorkämpferinnen“ zeichnet sie die Geschichte der deutschen Frauenbewegung nach – nicht als Geschichte voller Heldinnen, sondern als Geschichte eines langen gemeinsamen Kampfes.

Rev. John Koopman, Associate Pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Mankato, MN, joins the show to walk through C.F.W. Walther's essay "The Duties of an Evangelical Lutheran Synod," delivered at the first Iowa District convention. The essay was written against the backdrop of the split between Missouri and Iowa Synod Lutheranism — Iowa Synod pastors trained under Wilhelm Löhe who held that the confessions should be read "historically" rather than confessed without reservation, a trajectory that ended in the ELCA. Walther, by contrast, insisted that confessional subscription must be unconditional and total, since every part of Scripture — not just the articles touching salvation — serves the salvation of souls. Koopman and Paul Schultz work through Walther's six theses on what a synod is for: Faithfulness to the confessions in word and deed — testing pastors thoroughly, holding congregations accountable, and refusing fellowship with the unfaithful. Supporting pastors and teachers — counseling them, defending them against unjust treatment, and never abandoning a pastor for faithfully preaching hard truths, regardless of tact or rhetorical polish. Material on synod property and finances — Walther's warning against synods being distracted by money and institutional self-preservation. Promoting growth in the knowledge of truth — doctrine, not politics or mutual back-patting, must dominate synodical conventions. Striving for peace and unity in the truth — mutual submission and charity among brothers, without nitpicking over peripheral matters. Seeking God's glory, not the synod's own — Walther's striking line that the synod should prefer to go out of business rather than let the church suffer harm through its continued existence. Throughout, Koopman and Schultz draw direct lines to present controversies in the LCMS: pastoral formation and seminary training, the role of circuit visitors, tone policing of faithful but blunt preaching, and the Synod's entanglement with money and institutional concerns. Topics covered: Historical background: Löhe, the Iowa Synod, and the ELCA's descent from it Confessional subscription — quia vs. quatenus Walther's six theses on synodical duty The synod's obligation to defend faithful pastors under pressure Pastoral formation and testing candidates for the ministry Synod finances and institutional self-glorification Mutual submission and charity among brother pastors ----more---- Host: Fr.

Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Pete Walther, President and CEO of Marsh McLennan Agency Private Client Services, a Marsh business dedicated to serving the unique needs of family offices. Pete also leads the strategy for Marsh Global Family Office Solutions, which extends beyond traditional insurance solutions to include investment solutions, wealth and tax optimization solutions, executive liability and extortion solutions, and risk advisory services, all aimed at addressing the most pressing matters of family offices. Beginning his career in banking, Pete spent seven years structuring and managing a senior debt portfolio of highly leveraged commercial clients. He joined Marsh in 1995 to help launch its Private Equity and Mergers & Acquisitions (PEMA) practice. Over the subsequent 15 years, he has led several businesses within the firm, including PEMA North America, Global Alternative Risk Solutions, Marsh Midwest Zone, and PEMA Asia-Pacific based out of Australia. Pete, and his firm Marsh, are valued long-term members of the FOX Industry Leaders Council and we are very proud to have their expertise as part of the FOX membership community. Nowadays, families – even those at the top of the wealth pyramid – are facing significant disruptions with the insurability of many of their assets. Pete describes the challenges families and their family offices are experiencing with insurability and what difficulties that creates for them. Pete outlines the main factors driving these insurability challenges and shares his overview of the major trends that are driving these disruptions. One important practical consideration Pete emphasizes to families is to develop and maintain a "prevention vs. recovery mindset". He explains what that means and postulates the key principles of a strong and healthy prevention mindset. Another important practical tip Pete has for families and family offices is to invest in grassroots literacy, education, and design thinking. He elaborates on that and shares what other opportunities and trends are giving him personally hope for the future resilience of families and their family offices. Do not miss this highly instructive conversation with one of the top thought leaders and practitioners in the risk management and insurance industry serving top UHNW families, their enterprises, and their family offices.

Episode 17, “Knob Job,” is packed with the usual rimfire nonsense, questionable maturity, and enough gear talk to make your wallet nervous. We dig into listener topics like the S&W 422/622, weird and wonderful Discord finds, suppressor hosts, 3D-printed TX22 chassis, the Woox Elegante, and whatever Dayle keeps sending us to make us feel poor. Dan gets his Hammerli back from Walther, ARDREW shows off a very green Franklin Armory F-17X, Dusky brings competition stories and Beretta energy, and Gat-Lab prepares to run questionable guns in questionable ways. We also take the mandatory centerfire detour with tiny pistols, AR FRT laughs, gun-store mistakes, Mock 18 problems, and ARDREW's new IWI Jericho.

Triin Kröönström ja Kadi Polli: "Läbi Waltheri elu ja tööde räägime me sellest, milline oli Eestimaa ja milline oli Tallinn 19. sajandi esimesel poolel."

Troy Guillotte of Trigger Time TV joins us in the Brown Water Studio for a conversation about firearms, filming, and growing up in Jackson County, Mississippi.

This weekend is Resurrection Sunday, and is the conclusion of "Holy Week." This is the final assurance that what Jesus did was accepted by God the Father and our salvation is sure. The hymn, "He's Risen, He's Risen, Christ Jesus the Lord" was written by Lutheran pastor and professor, C.F.W. Walther, who was probably the most important figure in American Lutheranism in the 19th century. He was also an accomplished musician, and wrote many hymns. This hymn was originally 11 stanzas, but our English translation was reduced to 5 verses.   In this hymn we confess the work of Jesus for us, who went to war with the forces of death, hell and satan, and through His death, was victorious. It points not only to Christ's resurrection, but also the importance of Christ's atonement for sinners ("His blood does atone, redeemed and forgiven we now are His own.") Walther emphasizes the truth set forth by the Apostle Paul: "So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). May your Savior's resurrection, which assures us of the death of death, give you joy, and motivate you to lift up your voices to sing His praise, this weekend and always!

Deagleton from Indiana Dear WLS, If any of you ever watched Top Gear they had a segment called “Star In A Reasonably Priced Car”. The car was a cheap compact typically bought by non car enthusiast normies. What would be the handgun equivalent? What do the normies typically buy? – Desert D. Deagleton Question from LagDemon from Minnesota I have a rak308 and was getting buldged and popped primers when I was shooting 7.62×51 but when I switched to. 308 they were fine. I'm just wondering what is the difference between the two? “From LagDemon Shawn I also have a c308, have you put a slincer on it and if so did you have to change anything to get it to run? ex. locking piece or buffer. “ Question from OopsieDaisy from California For double tap Would any of you recommend a nightstand/lockbox for quick access to a firearm? I have small children so I can't just leave it out without worry but I'd like to have it at arms distance just in case someone tries to break into my little boy bootyhole. – OopsieDaisy Question from Ted H. from Virginia Ted H. Is the surefire warden good for flash suppression on a 11.5″ sbr? If not what do you recommend Question from Bradley from Oregon Are any of you to the level of disdain over “lawful observers” and “Press” not being observers?

“You and I, we’re part of this last analog generation. We had the opportunity to grow up in a time and age where our brains had to evolve against friction.” –Cornelia C. Walther About Cornelia C. Walther Cornelia C. Walther is Senior Fellow at Wharton School, a Visiting Research Fellow at Harvard University, and the Director of POZE, a global alliance for systemic change. She is author of many books, with her latest book, Artificial Intelligence for Inspired Action (AI4IA), due out shortly. She was previously a humanitarian leader working for over 20 years at the United Nations driving social change globally. Webiste: pozebeingchange LinkedIn Profile: Cornelia C.

Ross: So your work is very wonderfully humans plus AI, in being able to look at humans and humanity and how we can amplify the best as possible. That’s one really interesting starting point is your idea of the hybrid tipping zone. Could you share with us what that is? Cornelia: Yes, happy to. I would argue that we’re currently navigating a very dangerous transition where we have four disconnected yet mutually accelerating phenomena happening. At the micro level, we have agency decay, and I’m sure we’ll talk more about that later, but individuals are gradually delegating ever more of their thinking, feeling, and doing to AI. We’re losing not only control, but also the appetite and ability to take on all of these aspects, which are part of being ourselves. At the meso level, we have AI mainstreaming, where institutions—public, private, academic—are rushing to jump on the AI train, even though there are no medium or long-term evidences about how the consequences will play out. Then at the macro level, we have the race towards AI supremacy, which, if we’re honest, is not just something that the tech giants are engaged in, but also governments, because this is not just about money, it’s also about power and geopolitical rivalry. And finally, at the meta level, we have the deterioration of the planet, with seven out of nine boundaries now crossed, some with partially irreversible damages. Now, you have these four phenomena happening in parallel, simultaneously, and mutually accelerating each other. So the time to do something—and I would argue that the human level is the one where we have the most leeway, at least for now, to act—is now. You and I, we’re part of this last analog generation. We had the opportunity to grow up in a time and age where our brains had to evolve against friction. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t have a cell phone when I was a child, so I still remember my grandmother’s phone number from when I was five years old. Today, I barely remember my own. Same thing with Google Maps—when was the last time you went to a city and explored with a paper map? Now, these are isolated functions in the brain, but with ChatGPT, there’s this general offloading opportunity, which is very convenient. But being human, I would argue, it’s a very dangerous luxury to have. Ross: I just want to dig down quite a lot in there, but I want to come back to this. So, just that phrase—the hybrid tipping zone. The hybrid is the humans plus AI, so humans and AI are essentially, whatever words we use, now working in tandem. The tipping zone suggests that it could tip in more than one way. So I suppose the issue then is, what are those futures? Which way could it tip, and what are the things we can do to push it in one way or another—obviously towards the more desirable outcome? Cornelia: Thank you. I think you’re pointing towards a very important aspect, which is that tipping points can be positive or negative, but the essential thing is that we can do something to influence which way it goes. Right now, we consider AI like this big phenomenon that is happening to us. It is not—it is happening with, amongst, and because of us. I think that is the big change that needs to happen in our minds, which is that AI is neutral at the end of the day. It’s a means to an end, not an end in itself. We have an opportunity to shift from the old saying—which I think still holds true—garbage in, garbage out, towards values in, values out. But for that, we need to start offline and think: what are the values that we stand for? What is the world that we want to live in and leave behind? As you know, I’m a big defender of pro social AI, which refers to AI systems that are deliberately tailored, trained, tested, and targeted to bring out the best in and for people and planet. Ross: So again, lots of angles to dig into, but I just want to come back to that agency decay. I created a framework around the cognitive impact of AI, going from, at the bottom, cognitive corruption and cognitive erosion, through to neutral aspects, to the potential for cognitive augmentation. There are some individuals, of course, who are getting their thinking corrupted or eroded, as you’ve suggested; others are using it well and in ways which are potentially enhancing their cognition. So, there is what individuals can do to be able to do that. There’s also what institutions, including education and employers, can do to provide the conditions where people are more likely to have a positive impact on cognition. But more broadly, the question is, again, how can we tip that more in the positive direction? Because absolutely, not just the potential, but the reality of cognitive erosion—or agency decay, as you describe it, which I think is a great phrase. So are there things we can do to move away from the widespread agency decay, which we are in danger of? Cornelia: Yeah, I think maybe we could marry our two frameworks, because the scale of agency decay that I have developed looks at experience, experimentation, integration, reliance, and addiction. I would say we have now passed the stage of experimentation, and most of us are very deeply into the field of integration. That means we’re just half a step away from reliance, where all of a sudden it becomes nearly unthinkable to write that email yourself, to do that calendar scheduling yourself, or to write that report from scratch. But that means we’re just one step away from full-blown addiction. At least now, we still have the possibility to compare the before and after, which comes back to us as an analog generation. Now is the time to invest in what I would call double literacy—a holistic understanding of our NI, our natural intelligence, but also our algorithmic, our AI. That requires a double literacy—not just AI literacy or digital literacy, but the complementarity of these two intelligences and their mutual influence, because none of them happens in a vacuum anymore. Ross: Absolutely, So what you described—experiment, integration, reliance, addiction—sounds like a slippery slope. So, what are the things we can do to mitigate or push back against that, to use AI without being over-reliant, and where that experiment leads to integration in a positive way? What can we do, either as individuals or as employers or institutions, to stop that negative slide and potentially push back to a more positive use and frame? Cornelia: A very useful tool that I have found resonates with many people is the A frame, which looks at awareness, appreciation, acceptance, and accountability. I have an alliteration affinity, as you can see. The awareness stage looks at the mindset itself and really disciplines us not to slip down that slope, but to be aware of the steps we’re taking. The appreciation is about what makes us, in our own NI, unique, and the appreciation of where, in combination with certain external tools, it can be better. We all have gaps, we all have weaknesses, and that’s what we have to accept. The human being, even though now it’s sometimes put in opposition to AI as the better one, is not perfect either. Like probably you and most of the listeners have read Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and many others—there are libraries about human heuristics, human fallacies, our inability for actual rational thinking. But the fact that you have read a book does not mean that you are immune to that. We need to accept that this is part of our modus operandi, and in the same way as we are imperfect, AI, in many different ways, is also imperfect. And finally, the accountability. Because at the end of the day, no matter how powerful our tools are going to be, we as the human decision makers should consider ourselves accountable for the outcomes. Ross: Absolutely, that’s one of the points I make. We can’t obviously make machines accountable—ultimately, the accountability resides in humans. So we have to design systems, which I think provides a bit of a transition to pro social AI. So what is pro social AI, how do we build it, how do we deploy that, and how do we make that the center of AI development? Cornelia: Thank you for that. Pro social AI, in a way, is very simple. It’s the intent that matters, but it starts from scratch, so you have the regenerative intent embedded into the algorithmic architecture. It has four key elements that can be measured, tracked, and can also serve to sensitize those who use it and those who design it—tailored, framed, tested, targeted. The pro social AI index that I’ve been working on over the past months combines that with the quadruple bottom line: purpose, people, profit, planet. Now all of a sudden, rather than talking in an airy-fairy way about ethical AI—which is great and necessary, but I would argue is not enough—we need to systematically think about how we can harness AI as a catalyst of positive transformation that is with environmental dignity and seeks planetary health. How can we measure that? Ross: And so, what are we measuring? Are we measuring an AI system, or what is the assessment tool? What is it that is being assessed? Cornelia: It’s the how and the what for. For example, what data has been used? Is the data really representative? We know that the majority of AI tools are biased. And the other question is, is it only used for efficiency and effectiveness, but to what end? Ross: Yes, as we are seeing in current conversations around the use of models at Anthropic and OpenAI, there are tools, and there are questions around how they are used, not just what the tools are. Cornelia: Yes, so again, it comes back to the need for awareness and for hybrid intelligence, because at the end of the day, we can’t rely on companies whose purpose is to make money to give systems that serve people and planet first and foremost. Ross: This goes on to another one of your wonderful framings, which is AI for IA—AI for inspired action—around this idea of how do we amplify humans and humanity. Of course, this goes on to everything we’ve been discussing so far. But I think one of the things which is very useful there is AI, in a way, leading to humans taking action which is inspired around envisaging what is possible. So, how can we inspire positive action by people in the framing we’ve discussed? Cornelia: AI for IA is the title of the new book that’s coming out next month. But also, as with most of the things I’m saying, it’s not about the technology—it’s about the human being. We can’t expect the technology of tomorrow to be better than the humans of today. As I said before, garbage in, garbage out, or values in, values out—it’s so simple and it’s so uncomfortable, it’s so cumbersome, right? Because we like quick fixes. But unfortunately, AI or technology in general is not going to save us from ourselves, and as it is right now, we’re straightforward on a trend to repeat the mistakes made during the first, second, and third industrial revolutions, where technology and innovation were driven primarily by commercial intent. Now, I would argue that this time around, we can’t leave it at that, because this fourth industrial revolution has such a strong impact on the way we think, feel, and interact, that we need to start in our very own little courtyard to think: what kind of me do I want to see amplified? Ross: Yes, yes. I’ve always thought that if AI amplifies us, or technology generally amplifies us, we will discover who we are, because the more we are amplified, the more we see ourselves writ large. But we have choices around, as you say, what aspects of who we are as individuals and as a society we can amplify. That’s the critical choice. So the question is, how do we bring awareness to your word around what it is about us that we want to amplify, and how do we then selectively amplify that, rather than also amplify the negative aspects of humanity? Cornelia: The first thing, and that’s a simple one, is the A frame. I would argue that’s something everyone can integrate in their daily routine in a very simple way, to remind us of the four A’s: awareness, appreciation, acceptance, accountability. The other one, at the institutional level, is the integration of double literacy. Right now, there’s a lot of hype in schools and at the governmental level about AI literacy and digital literacy. I think that’s only half of the equation. This is now an opportunity to take a step back and finally address this gap that has characterized education systems for many decades, where thinking and thinking about thinking—metacognition—is not taught in schools. Systems thinking, understanding cognitive biases, understanding interplays—now is the time to learn about that. If the future will be populated by humans that interact with artificial counterparts configured to address and exploit every single one of our human Achilles heels, then we would be better advised to know those Achilles heels. So, I think these are two relatively simple ways moving forward that could take us to a better place. Ross: So this goes to one of your other books on human leadership for humane technology. So leadership of course, everyone is a leader in who they touch. We also have more formal leaders of organizations, nations, political parties, NGOs, and so on. But just taking this into a business context, there are many leaders now of organizations trying to transform their organizations because they understand that the world is different, and they need to be a different organization. They still need to make money to pay for their staff and what they are doing to develop the organization, but they have multiple purposes and multiple stakeholders. So, just thinking from an organizational leader perspective, what does human leadership for humane technology mean? What does that look like? What are the behaviors? What are the ways we can see that would show us? Cornelia: I think first, it’s a reframing away from this very narrow scope of return on investment, which has characterized the business scene for many decades, and looking at return on values. What is the bigger picture that we are actually part of and shaping here? What’s the why at the end of the day? I think that matters for leaders who are in their place to guide others, and guidance is not just telling people what they have to do, but also inspiring them to want to do it. Inspiration, at the end of the day, is something that comes from the inside out, because you see in the other person something that you would like in yourself. Power and money are not it—it’s vision. I think this is maybe the one thing that is right now missing. We all tend to see the opportunity, but then we go with what everybody else is doing, because we don’t really take the time to step back and think, well, there is the path of everyone, and there’s another one—how should I explore that one? Especially amidst AI, where just upscaling your company with additional tools is not really going to set you apart, it matters twice as much to not just think about how do I do more of the same with less investment and faster, but what makes me unique, and how can I now use the artificial treasure chests to amplify that? Ross: Yes, yes. I think purpose is now well recognized beyond the business agenda. One of the critical aspects is that it attracts the most talented people, but also, over the years, we’ve had more and more opportunities to be different as an organization. Back in the late ’90s and so on, organizations looked more and more the same. Now there are more and more opportunities to be different. The way in which AI and other technologies are brought into organizations gives an extraordinary array of possibilities to be unique, as you’ve described, and distinctive, which gives you a competitive position as well as being able to attract people who are aligned with your purpose. Cornelia: Yes, exactly. But for that, you need to know your purpose first. Ross: From everything we’ve just been talking about, or anything else, are there any examples of organizations or initiatives that you think are exemplars or support the way in which, or show how, we could be approaching this well? Cornelia: I think—this will now sound very biased—but I’m currently working with Sunway University, and I think they are the kind of academic institution that is showing a different path, seeking to leverage technology to be more sustainable, bringing in dimensions such as planetary health, like the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, and thinking about business in a re-envisioned way, with the Institute for Global Strategy and Competitiveness. I think there are examples at the institutional level, there are examples at the individual level, and sometimes the most inspiring individuals are not those that make the headlines. That’s maybe, sorry, just on that, for me the most important takeaway: no matter which place one is in the social food chain, the essential thing is, who are you and how can you inspire the person next to you to make it a better day, to make it a better future. Ross: Yes, in fact, that word “inspired,” as you mentioned before. So that’s Sunway University in Malaysia? Cornelia: I think they are definitely a very, very good illustration of that. Ross: Just pulling this back to the global frame, and this gets quite macro, but I think it is very important. It pulls together some of the things we’ve pointed to—the difference between the approach of the United States, China, Europe, in how they are, you know, essentially the leaders in AI and how they’re going about it, but where the global south more generally, I think there’s some interesting things. Arguably, there’s a far more positive attitude generally in the populations, a sense of the opportunity to transform themselves, but of course a very different orientation in how they want to use and apply AI and in creating value for individuals, nations, and society. So how would you frame those four—the US, China, Europe, and the global south—and how they are, or could be, approaching the development of AI? Cornelia: Thank you for that. I think right now there are three mainstream patterns: the US, which is—I’m overly simplifying and aware of that—the US path, which is business overall; the European model, which is regulation overall; and the Chinese model, which is state dominance. I would argue there’s a fourth path, and I think that’s where leaders in the global south can step in. You might know I’m working, on the one hand, in Malaysia and, on the other hand, in Morocco, on the development of a sort of national blueprint of what pro social AI can look like. I think now is the time—again, coming back to leadership—to think about how countries can walk a different path and be pioneers in a field that, yes, AI has been around for various decades, but the latest trend, the latest wave that is engulfing society since November 2022, is still relatively new. So why not have nations in the global south that are very different from the West chart their own path and make it pro social, pro people, pro planet, and pro potential—and that potential that they have themselves, which sets them apart and makes them unique. Ross: Absolutely. Again, you mentioned Malaysia, Morocco. Looking around the world, of course, India is prominent. There are some African nations which have done some very interesting things. Just trying to think, where are other examples of these kinds of domestically born pro social initiatives happening? Of course, the Middle East—it’s quite different, because they’re wealthy, though they’re not among the major leaders, but there’s a whole array of different examples. Where would you point to as things which show how we could be using pro social AI at a national or regional level? Cornelia: Unfortunately, right now, there is not one country where one could say they have taken it from A to Z, but I think there are very inspiring or positive examples. For example, Vietnam was the first country in ASEAN to endorse a law on AI ethics and regulation—I think that’s a very good one. Also, ASEAN has guidelines on ethics. All of these are points of departure. Switzerland did a very nice example of what public AI can look like. So there are a lot of very good examples. The question is not so much about what to do, I think, but how to do it, and why. At the end of the day, it’s really that simple. What’s the intent behind it? What do we want the post-2030 agenda to look like? We know that the SDG—Sustainable Development Goals—are not going to be fulfilled between now and 2030. So are we learning from these lessons, or are we following the track pattern of doing more of the same and maybe throwing in a couple of additional indicators, or can we really take a step back and look ourselves and the world in the face and think, what have we missed? Now, frame it however you want, but think about hybrid development goals and ways in which means and ends—society and business—come together into a more holistic equation that respects planetary health. Because at the end of the day, our survival still depends on the survival and flourishing of planet Earth, and some might cherish the idea of emigrating to Mars, but I still think that overall the majority of us would prefer to stay here. Ross: Yes, planet Earth is beautiful, and it’d be nice to keep it that way. How can people find more about your work? Could you just tell people about your new book and any resources where people can find out more? Cornelia: Thank you so much. They are very welcome to reach out via LinkedIn. Also, I’m writing regularly on Psychology Today, on Knowledge at Wharton, and various other platforms. The new book that you mentioned is coming out next month, and there will be another one, hopefully by the end of the year. Overall, feel free to reach out. I really feel that the more people get into this different trend of thinking, the better. But thank you so much for the opportunity. Ross: Thanks so much for all of your work, Cornelia. It’s very important. The post Cornelia C. Walther on AI for Inspired Action, return on values, prosocial AI, and the hybrid tipping zone (AC Ep35) appeared first on Humans + AI.

"Remember that being underestimated is an opportunity. Carve out your own niche, innovate, and let your authenticity do the talking." Episode Summary: Welcome to this episode of The Gun Experiment, where Big Keith and I sit down with Chris Long, the content and communications manager — now head of marketing — for Walther Arms. We kick things off sharing funny and awkward stories from daily life, then dive into Chris's unique journey from fuel tank cleaning to leading marketing for one of the gun industry's most innovative brands. We explore Walther's approach to product development, social media restrictions, creative marketing strategies, and how being the “underdog” is actually a pretty great place to be. We discuss Walther's generous 30-day money-back guarantee and their efforts to expand gun culture into fringe markets like action sports, cars, and martial arts. Chris shares behind-the-scenes insights on product innovation (hello, PDP and the drift car!), the importance of training, and why pistol shooting should be treated almost like a martial art. If you're curious about where Walther is headed, how they keep things “real,” and how brands can help normalize responsible firearms ownership, this episode is packed with relatable stories and actionable insights.

Key Takeaways: Walther Arms offers an industry-leading, no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee on their pistols. Social media restrictions remain a big challenge for firearm marketing, but creativity and authenticity can still win. Walther is pushing the boundaries by bridging the gap between gun culture and fringe/action sports, cars, music, and martial arts. Treating pistol shooting as a martial art, and focusing on training over gear, sets serious gun owners apart. Being a smaller “underdog” allows Walther to move fast, be real, and build a tight-knit family culture in the industry. The PDP line stands out for trigger, ergonomics, and innovation — and Walther continues to expand its product offerings globally. Authentic community engagement (like collabs on social media) is key for growing brand loyalty.

Kriege, Krisen, Klimakatastrophen, soziale Spaltung – ein Blick aufs Handy reicht, und viele fühlen sich von den Nachrichten überfordert. Das Leid der Welt scheint plötzlich auf den eigenen Schultern zu liegen. Dieses Gefühl hat einen Namen: Weltschmerz. In dieser Folge von Betreutes Fühlen sprechen Leon und Atze darüber, warum uns das aktuelle Weltgeschehen emotional so stark belastet, was Dauerkrisen mit unserer psychischen Gesundheit machen und warum Abstumpfen keine Lösung ist. Es geht um Empathie, emotionale Überforderung und den Unterschied zwischen Mitfühlen und Wegschauen – aber auch darum, warum Empathie allein nicht reicht. Wozu ist dieser Schmerz da?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Dutch artist famous for starry nights and sunflowers, self portraits and simple chairs. These are images known the world over, and Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) painted them and around 900 others in the last decade of his short, brilliant life and, famously, in that lifetime he made only one recorded sale. Yet within a few decades after his death these extraordinary works, with all their colour and life, became the most desirable of all modern art, propelled in part by the story of Vincent van Gogh's struggle with mental health.
