The Washington Roundtable is joined by the journalist and historian Garrett Graff to trace how post-9/11 immigration policy, which led to a surge in Border Patrol hiring, set the stage for today's crisis in Minneapolis. The panel examines how ICE and C.B.P., created to protect Americans from outside threats, have been unleashed in America's cities as what Graff calls "a fascist secret police." “The Border Patrol has never been intended to be a force that is routinely interacting with American citizens,” Graff says. “Full stop, period, let alone routinely patrolling American cities.”This week's reading: “Operation Trump Rehab,” by Susan B.

High-achieving women are brilliant at building careers, businesses, and success—but many still feel stuck, unseen, or unsatisfied in love. Why?In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Riana Malia, a Board-Certified Neurosomatic Practitioner and Identity Architect for High-Achieving Women™, to unpack the real reason success doesn't automatically translate into extraordinary partnership.This conversation goes beyond mindset and surface-level healing. Riana explains how subconscious wiring, nervous system safety, and emotional residue quietly shape attraction patterns—often keeping successful women stuck in cycles of emotionally unavailable or misaligned relationships.If you've “done the work” but still feel like love is the missing piece, this episode will give you clarity, language, and a new path forward—without self-blame or starting over.

Violent, organized conflict is a near constant in human history.But why?Often, large-scale conflicts and wars are explained in material or political terms: humans engaging in conflict over land, resources, or ideologies.But as Rose McDermott, the David and Marianna Fisher University Professor of International Relations, sees it, these explanations fail to fully account for war's existence and persistence throughout the long history of our species.To do that, McDermott argues that we need to take more seriously the ways that human psychology — shaped by our evolution as a species — predisposes some of us to violence.On this episode, Dan Richards spoke with Rose McDermott about how millennia of human evolution have wired our brains — particularly male brains — for war; what this means for modern society; and how we might think about building structures and institutions to help chart a new, more peaceful path for humanity.Transcript coming soon to our website.

If you made resolutions this year and you've already broken them, or you're close, you're not alone. Most people don't fail because they lack discipline. They fail because they don't understand how faith actually works. In this week's CyberChurch message, The Faith of God, I take you into Mark 11 and the story of the fig tree to show you why real change often starts invisibly. When Jesus spoke, nothing seemed to change at first, but the change had already begun at the root. Words spoken from the heart carry power, and many people cancel their own faith by speaking doubt, fear, or old beliefs about themselves before anything has time to manifest. If you want your decisions to last, they have to be rooted in who you are, not just what you want. That's why I encourage you to spend time with my book, Wired for Success, Programmed for Failure. It will help you develop your heart so that what you build actually lasts.

Claudette Rowley is a wellness-first interior designer who helps people create spaces that not only look beautiful but also support their well-being. Drawing from her background in social work, coaching, and cultural transformation, Claudette practices neuro-aesthetic design - an approach grounded in the science of how color, light, texture, and flow impact our nervous systems. Rebecca and Claudette explore why design matters beyond aesthetics. Claudette explains common design mistakes and introduces her WIRED method (Wellness, Intention, Rhythm, Energy, Delight) for creating spaces that truly serve you. They discuss how cool and warm colors create completely different spaces, the power of biophilic (nature-based) design, and why the question isn't "what's trending?" but "how do I want to feel in this space?" Claudette reminds us: "You deserve to be in a space that you really love and not to settle if you feel stuck - it makes a difference in your life."

This week on Sinica, I speak with Afra Wang, a writer working between London and the Bay Area, currently a fellow with Gov.AI. We're talking today about her recent WIRED piece on what might be China's most influential science fiction project you've never heard of: The Morning Star of Lingao (Língáo Qǐmíng 临高启明), a sprawling, crowdsourced novel about time travelers who bootstrap an industrial revolution in Ming Dynasty Hainan. More than a thought experiment in alternate history, it's the ur-text of China's "Industrial Party" (gōngyè dǎng 工业党) — the loose intellectual movement that sees engineering capability as the true source of national power. We discuss what the novel reveals about how China thinks about failure, modernity, and salvation, and why, just as Americans are waking up to China's industrial might, the worldview that helped produce it may already be losing its grip.5:27 – Being a cultural in-betweener: code-switching across moral and epistemic registers 10:25 – Double consciousness and converging aesthetic standards 12:05 – "The greatest Chinese science fiction" — an ironic title for a poorly written cult classic 14:18 – Bridging STEM and humanities: the KPI-coded language of tech optimization 16:08 – China's post-Industrial Party moment: from "try hard" to "lie flat" 17:01 – How widely known is Lingao?

At Davos, Donald Trump claimed that China doesn't use wind energy, or in his words, “windmills.” He could not be more wrong. In 2024, China accounted for 40% of the globe's wind energy generation and in 2025, over a quarter of China's energy came from wind and solar power. As the U.S. reverts to coal, gas and oil for its energy needs, China is emerging as the world leader in renewables. We talk about whether the U.S. will be left irrevocably behind by Trump's energy policy and what it all means for California's renewable energy industry. Guests: Jeremy Wallace, professor of China Studies, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS); author, "China Lab" newsletter; author of recent WIRED article, "China's Renewable Energy Revolution Is a Huge Mess That Might Save the World" Mark Jacobson, professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford University; author, "Still No Miracles Needed: How Today's Technology Can Save Our Climate and Clean Our Air" Learn more about your ad choices.

For years, founders have been told to build a defensible moat. But in AI, where platforms, models, and capabilities can shift overnight, that advice is starting to feel outdated. In this episode of Fund/Build/Scale, Simular CEO and co-founder Ang Li talks about what it actually means to build a company when the underlying technology won't sit still. Rather than evangelizing agents or predicting the future of work, Ang gets unusually candid about fragility, speed, judgment, and how founders should think when technical advantages may be temporary by default. The conversation digs into small-team execution, founder productivity, decision-making under uncertainty, and the uncomfortable question many AI founders avoid: what if the next platform update eats your product?  Note: This interview was recorded before Simular closed its $21.5M Series A in December 2025.

Welcome back to Uncanny Valley! This week, WIRED's Brian Barrett and Leah Feiger are joining the show as the new co-hosts, alongside Zoë Schiffer. And our attention has been on the drama going down in the quaint little town of Davos. Zoë tells us how at the World Economic Forum's event, major AI players like Anthropic have been the protagonists — sharing the spotlight with President Trump, who insists on invading Greenland. Brian has been looking at how ICE activity is developing across the U.S, and Leah is forcing us to think about this year's midterms because tech giants are already pouring millions into it. Plus, we dive into why OpenAI's decision to roll out ads in ChatGPT was a long time coming.

This week, we're talking to You Tube sensation, small town mortician, and (most importantly) Catholic dad of four, Victor Sweeney. Over the past five years, Sweeney (33) has unexpectedly built a loyal following online for his penetrating insights about about death, dying, and the moments of grace made possible by both. He first began sharing that wisdom during Covid, in a series of uber viral videos for Wired. Since then, he has launched a You Tube channel, a podcast (“Death And …”), and written a book with Simon and Schuster, Now Departing: A Small Town Mortician on Death, Life, and the Moments in Between. Now, he's sharing his wisdom with us in a fantastic conversation that we hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com Most people make resolutions with good intentions, but very few understand the real power that makes change possible: decision-making. In this episode of Resolutions That Work, we talk about why people are afraid to make real decisions, and how that fear keeps them stuck in cycles of hoping, trying, and wavering. The Bible shows us that decision-making is not just willpower; it flows out of who we are as people created in the image and likeness of God. From the beginning, God gave mankind authority, real authority, to make choices that shape life on earth. When we don't understand this, we either wait on God to do what He has already empowered us to do, or we assume our circumstances, our past, or even our biology override our choices. We also clear up the difference between unbelief and doubt. Unbelief is a lack of trust in God, but doubt is wavering between two options. When we waver, we struggle to receive, not because God has withheld anything, but because our hearts aren't settled. Real decisions remove wavering and allow God's grace to work powerfully in us. This teaching connects directly to what I share in my book Wired for Success: Programmed for Failure, that real success starts in the heart, not with pressure, fear, or religious striving. When your heart is aligned with truth, your decisions become stable, and your life begins to move in a new direction. If you've ever wondered why resolutions don't last, join me this week in CyberChurch. This message will help you understand what's missing and how to start making decisions in harmony with God that actually change your life.

In this episode of Talking Away the Taboo, Dr. Baron is joined by Hadassah Eventsur, an occupational therapist and life coach, for a deeply needed conversation about neurodiversity in Jewish life, and how that contributes to a smaller family size.   Hadassah reached out to name something many women feel but struggle to articulate: the pain of wanting a large family while knowing that undiagnosed ADHD or other neurodivergent traits make the day-to-day demands of parenting feel overwhelming or unsustainable. Dr. Baron names this experience as circumstantial infertility, where the barrier to growing a family isn't medical, but rooted in capacity, support, and how the world is built.   Hadassah shares her own journey of recognizing her neurodivergence, the coping strategies she developed long before she had language for them, and the shame that so often accompanies doing things "differently." From challah baking to daily routines, she explains how COVID became a turning point in understanding her brain with more compassion.   Together, they explore: Why neurodivergent women often feel unseen and unsupported How communal expectations around motherhood can deepen shame The difference between desire and capacity, and why both matter Practical, realistic tools for executive functioning and emotional regulation The power of community over advice, fixes, or judgment This conversation is for anyone who has ever thought, "I want more, but I don't know how I'd survive it," and felt alone in that tension. It's an invitation to widen how we define infertility, support, and what it means to make thoughtful, loving decisions without shame.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen sits down with Michelle Masters—internationally acclaimed bestselling author, transformational facilitator, and founder of Wired for Magic—to explore the deeper energetic and subconscious roots of money.Michelle shares how she went from having no real interest in money to creating her renowned Money Magic workshop and book, Money Magic: Clearing Your Path to Money, Time, and Happiness. She explains why most money work fails when it stays at the level of mindset and strategy, and shows how our core money patterns are actually laid down in the womb and early childhood, often entangled with our parents' trauma and our ancestral field.“We will not let ourselves have more than we think we deserve.” – Michelle MastersIn this episode, we explore:Why money, at its essence, shows up as the energy of blessingsHow core beliefs about safety, worth, and “being too much / not enough” form before age threeThe difference between changing a behavior and changing an identityHow ancestral grief and parental overwhelm can become our money storyA powerful question to unlock a new future: “Even if it's not rational or reasonable, what would I most love to experience?”Practical ways to start revising old wiring and inviting in more ease, abundance, and supportYou can sign up for her mastermind, now on the Shift network OR her live workshop on Money in April in Marin here. Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Much like the girlboss, no matter how many times the culture tries to eulogize DEI we find it once again, walking around, making a nuisance of itself. Recent pieces in the NYTimes, Wired, and Compact try to reckon with the legacy of DEI, and then there is of course the walking mascot of DEI culture, Bari Weiss, making a mess of CBS News.  Jessa and Nico talk about the enormous lengths all these people will go to avoid talking about class, why identity politics was a good idea (for a while), and why the most obvious DEI hires were Ross Douthat and Bari Weiss.  Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

Adam Morgan discusses his new biography, A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls: Margaret C. Anderson, Book Bans, and the Fight to Modernize Literature (Atria/One Signal Publishers, 2025).  Morgan's book is the first biography solely devoted to Margaret C. Anderson, the founder of the avant-garde literary and arts magazine The Little Review, which she began publishing in Chicago in 1914. The influential Little Review showcased many famous writers of its time, including T.S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, Hart Crane, Sherwood Anderson and Hemingway. But it would become most celebrated—and notorious—for being the first publisher of James Joyce's towering modernist novel Ulysses. After putting out nearly two thirds of the novel in serial installments from 1918 through 1920, Margaret Anderson and her romantic partner and co-editor Jane Heap were charged and found guilty of obscenity under the Comstock Act for distributing Joyce's sexually frank passages through the mail. They were deemed "a danger to the minds of young girls."   A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls tells a very compelling story of an iconoclastic woman who was determined to make a space for difficult and challenging art and whose efforts changed forever what could be addressed in literature and what could be considered beautiful.  Adam Morgan is himself the founder of the indispensable Chicago Review of Books, and a great promoter of the literature of our city. We are especially thrilled to be having this conversation now, as we just began a six-month discussion group on Ulysses at our library. Listen to hear why Ulysses wouldn't exist without Chicago and how understanding Anderson's life helps reveal the true stakes, triumphs, and world-changing "dangers" of James Joyce's masterpiece.  Adam Morgan is a culture journalist and critic who lives near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. His writing has appeared in Esquire, WIRED, Scientific American, Inverse, The Paris Review, Los Angeles Times, and elsewhere. He writes a newsletter about forthcoming books called The Frontlist. He is the founding editor of the Chicago Review of Books, the Southern Review of Books, and the Chicago Literary Archive.  You can check out A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls in our Podcast Collection, featuring books and other materials by past guests of the show.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson tackle a struggle many leaders, creatives, and believers quietly carry: striving for God instead of working with God.This episode features guest Nathaniel Vossler, former CFO turned founder of Rhema Now, an app designed to help believers engage in listening prayer, group intensives, and Spirit-led coaching. In early 2025, Nathaniel stepped away from the corporate world after sensing God's clear call into a new season—building this platform alongside his wife while raising their growing family in Idaho.Together, Shawn, Bob, and Nathaniel get practical about:Moving from pressure to presenceSaying no to good things that aren't God thingsCreating Spirit-led rhythms for your calendar and decisionsHearing God clearly in real business and life transitionsLetting go of ego, overcommitment, and burnoutBuilding sustainably with God, not just for HimShawn and Bob also share personal stories of burnout, overextension, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from learning to surrender control and trust God's pace. This episode is an honest, hope-filled invitation to trade striving for peace—and rediscover what it looks like to walk in true partnership with the Holy Spirit.If you're tired, driven, successful—but longing for peace—this conversation is for you.

Work with me: https://jointherainmakers.com/choosetime?utm_src=organicyoutube Get your free demo: https://jointherainmakers.com/demo?utm_src=organicyoutube ------- At 3:02AM, I woke up with a question that refused to let go: "What do I actually want from my life?" Not the "Instagram answer." Not the "entrepreneur answer." Not the "be a good husband, father, provider" answer. The real one. At 37, I found myself replaying every decision, every success, every sacrifice… wondering how I got here and whether the direction I was sprinting toward was even the right one anymore. Doubt can chain you down. But if you're honest enough to face it… it can also become a compass. So I went downstairs. Opened my journal. And poured everything out. What came out turned into the deepest personal reset I've ever had. 16 powerful "dials" I now use to recalibrate my life, my business, my relationships, my purpose. In this video, I'm sharing them. Not polished. Not performative. Not "guru wisdom." Just the raw, unfiltered reflections of an entrepreneur, husband, father, and human trying to build a life that actually feels meaningful… not just impressive. You'll hear me talk about: Why "success" nearly cost me my peace and my family presence The brutal truth about imbalance, burnout, and ambition How I define purpose now (and how totally different it is) Legacy, love, leadership, and why impact matters more than metrics Why harmony matters more than "work-life balance" Gratitude, impermanence, joy, and being truly alive And why the world doesn't need more "successful" people… It needs more grounded, fulfilled, fully-present ones. If you've ever woken up in the middle of the night questioning your direction… If you're "doing great" externally but wrestling internally… If you want a life that feels aligned, not just impressive… This one's for you. __ In this video: 00:00 — The 3:02AM Question That Changed Everything 01:06 — Turning Chaos Into Clarity (16 Life "Dials") 01:12 — The One Question That Unraveled a Thousand Others 01:45 — My Notes, My North Star: The "Dials" That Guide My Life 02:06 — When Success Crashes Into Reality 03:07 — Finally Asking: "What Do I Truly Want?" 03:35 — Why Fulfillment Doesn't Live in Your Bank Account 04:43 — Meaning Isn't Found.

A Note from James:Data is oil. Data is the gold of this AI revolution. Imagine you have an AI that has all of everybody's thoughts also—so it's not just learning on tweets and texts, it's learning on the 60,000 or so thoughts that 8 billion people think each day around the world. This sounds like amazing science fiction and magic and everything that one could ever have dreamed of… or it could be the end of the world. Episode Description:In this solo episode, James breaks down a recent AI development that made him pause for the first time: OpenAI's investment in a brain-computer interface startup called Merge Labs. He explains why data is the core asset in AI—and why the next frontier isn't better chatbots, but higher-bandwidth access to human intent, attention, and ultimately thought.James compares Merge Labs' approach with Neuralink, then walks through the practical upsides: medical breakthroughs, hands-free control of devices, and AI-assisted cognition in everyday life. But he also explores the uncomfortable implications: privacy, influence, and the risk that “thought data” could become the most valuable—and most dangerous—resource on Earth. What You'll Learn:Recognize why “data is oil” is still the most important frame for AI power Understand what brain-computer interfaces are, and how they differ across companies Think through real use cases (medical, device control, communication) before the hype takes over Identify the privacy line: what “training on your thoughts” could actually mean in practice Pressure-test your own optimism about AI by asking: “Once data is shared, can it be unshared?” Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Data is oil: why AI is really a data arms race [02:40] Utopia vs dystopia vs “newtopia” [03:16] The optimist's argument: tech usually helps more than it hurts [04:39] The news: OpenAI invests $250M into Merge Labs [05:29] Why the Sam Altman overlap matters (and why it's unusual) [06:02] What brain-computer interfaces actually do [06:22] Neuralink explained: reading intent from neurons [07:44] Writing signals back to the brain: the scary part (and the helpful part) [09:39] Merge Labs' approach: engineered neurons + ultrasound [12:47] Controlling devices by thought: the “thermostat from bed” future [14:35] Telepathy as technology: brain-to-brain messaging [16:17] Influence risk: persuasion and “writing” thoughts [18:45] The real moat: not software—data [19:55] The next dataset: 60,000 thoughts/day × 8B people [21:36] The irreversible trade: once data is handed over, it's gone [22:17] Why this kind of news is accelerating Additional Resources:OpenAI — “Investing in Merge Labs” (official announcement)WIRED — coverage of OpenAI's investment and Merge Labs' BCI approachTechCrunch — reporting on the Merge Labs seed round and valuationNeuralink — official siteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You need stress to adapt, grow and survive, but at a certain point it becomes highly toxic to your body, creating a phenomenon called a "cell danger resposne", which is a survival state where your cells stop prioritizing healing and shift into defense mode instead, because it thinks you're under threat. Even though this is designed to protect you, in today's modern world, it actually creates disease.    TOPICS DISCUSSED: Why chronis stress is actually a cellular problem (not just psychological) Why trauma, toxins, infections and overtraining all land in the same biological pathway of "stress" Why even the most powerful supplements fail when your nervous system is stuck in "fight-or-flight" mode Why healing isn't about doing more, but simply teaching your body that it's safe again.   More from Dr. Scott Sherr: Instagram: @drscottsherr Supplements: TroScriptions + Methylene Blue All other links, website, etc: linktr.ee/drscottsherr   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson dive into a conversation every entrepreneur and business leader faces at some point: what do you do when you hit the wall and everything says quit?In this powerful episode, Shawn and Bob unpack the tension between calling, perseverance, and wisdom—sharing personal stories of long seasons, financial pressure, uncertainty, and learning when to push forward versus when to pivot. They explore how faith sustains leaders through cash-flow crises, industry volatility, and moments where giving up feels easier than pressing on.The conversation features a compelling testimony from Steve Smithwick, founder and president of MasterWall Incorporated.

You may feel like you're failing—but you could actually be forging forward.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 12, 2026 is: brackish • BRACK-ish • adjective Brackish, meaning “somewhat salty,” usually describes water or bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and estuaries. The word can also mean “not appealing to the taste” or “repulsive.” // The river becomes brackish as we approach the tidemark. See the entry > Examples: “The blood-testing organs don't measure water levels but rather the concentration of salt, whose healthy range lies at almost exactly the same concentration as that of the brackish intertidal water in which vertebrates first evolved (which is about one-third as salty as seawater).” — Dan Samorodnitsky, Wired, 28 Sept. 2025 Did you know? When the word brackish first appeared in English in the 1500s, it simply meant “salty,” as did its Dutch parent brac. Then, as now, brackish was used to describe water that was a mixture of saltwater and freshwater, such as one encounters where a river meets the sea. Since that time, however, brackish has developed the additional meanings of “unpalatable” and “repulsive,” presumably because of the oozy, mucky, and sometimes stinky (or stinkyish, if you prefer)—not just salty—qualities of coastal estuaries and swamps.

Welcome back to the digital wasteland, fellow survivors. We kick things off in the FOLLOW UP by marking a year since the LA Fires—hello, PTSD—alongside a 4th Strokiversary and three years of sobriety, all while wondering why America is currently obsessed with shooting its own civilians in the face.In the IN THE NEWS segment, Wired is finally teaching us how to protest safely in the age of surveillance, and the EFF is cheering on the hackers fighting ICE's Nazi-adjacent tracking tactics. Meanwhile, Meta is harvesting your AI chats for targeted ads, Disney is paying $10 million for spying on kids, and Grok has spent the holidays generating nonconsensual child abuse material—a problem Elon Musk won't have to legally reckon with until the Take It Down Act hits in May. Instagram's Adam Mosseri has basically surrendered to the AI "slop", suggesting we fingerprint "real" media because the fake stuff has already won the war.As we continue the descent, OpenAI is launching a ChatGPT Health portal despite their "loser energy" and compute limits, while Character.AI and Google are quietly settling lawsuits for bots that encouraged teen suicide. Polymarket gamblers are learning that "decentralized" juries will fist you over the definition of an "invasion" just as fast as a bank. Uber showed off a new Lucid-based robotaxi, but we're pumping the brakes on the safety hype given that autonomous vehicles are five times more likely to crash at dusk. To wrap up the news, Tim Cook took home $74 million last year, which is a lot of "systematic philanthropy" he could be doing right now instead of just writing checks to his own ego.In MEDIA CANDY, we're suffering through the Stranger Things wrap-up and a John McTiernan holiday marathon, though the real highlight is MTV Rewind's tribute to music videos. We've got Traitors, The Pitt, and even a John Candy doc on the list, while APPS & DOODADS brings us the DJI Osmo 8, Victrola's turntable-vibrating speakers. At least California's DROP tool lets you purge your data from 500 brokers at once.Finally, we go to THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE to hear Dave Bittner rant about holiday tech support, health insurance gouging, and Dave Filoni taking the Star Wars reins. We close out with a look at ILM's 50th, the deepfake porn cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and a birthday toast to the Starman himself, David Bowie.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

On the afternoon of August 23, 2003, Erie, Pennsylvania pizza delivery driver Brian Wells walked into the local branch of the PNC Bank and handed the teller a note warning that he had a bomb and they had fifteen minutes to hand over $250,000 or it would detonate. Unable to access the vault, the teller gave Wells all the cash on hand and he left as the employees triggered the emergency protocol.Fifteen minutes later, Wells was spotted by police and placed under arrest. However, when they went to put handcuffs on the suspects, the officers discovered that Wells did indeed have an explosive device on him—it was strapped to his neck and rigged to explode. Officers cleared the area, but failed to alert the bomb squad in time and the device eventually exploded, killing Wells just three minutes before the bomb squad arrived.The bizarre death of Brian Wells seemed to bring his brief criminal career to an end; yet as investigators began digging into the background of the delivery driver-turned-bank robber, they discovered the plot to rob the PNC Bank was far more elaborate than anyone had imagined. ReferencesAssociated Press. 2003.
