More To The Story: Jason Stanley isn't afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump. The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the United States is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader. At a time when the Trump administration is putting increasing pressure on private and public universities to conform or lose funding, Stanley recently left his position at Yale University and moved his family to Canada, where he's now the Bissell-Heyd chair in American studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto. The move, he says, has allowed him to talk about the US in a way that wouldn't have been possible if he remained in the country. On this week's More To The Story, Stanley traces the recent rise of fascist regimes around the globe, and explains why he describes what's happening in the US today as a “coup” and why he thinks the speed and scope of the Trump administration's hardline policies could ultimately lead to significant pushback from those opposed to the president.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick |  Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Read: He Studies Fascism: Is He Now Living Through It?

As a practical matter, how much effort do you put into pinning down the causes behind daily occurrences? To developmental psychologist Frank Keil, who studies causal thinking, that answer is likely along the lines of 'not enough.' A lack of causal thinking is both endemic, and, to an extent, hurtful these days, he argues, suggesting that lacking even simplified causal models makes things like the black box of artificial intelligence a potential problem. In this Social Science Bites podcast, Keil, the Charles C. and Dorathea S. Dilley Professor of Psychology and Linguistics at Yale University, outlines for interviewer David Edmonds how causal thinking is a skill we seem to have at an early age, but which diminishes as we grow up. "[K]ids, by the time they approach elementary school, are asking up to 200 'why' and 'how' questions a day," he explains. "Within a year or two up to starting school, they're down to two or three, often none." Furthermore, Keil sees this diminishment continuing in society today – and this comes as a cost. "I think it's making kids today be pushed more towards surface understanding, being user interface understanders. I think it makes influences more influential. To just say 'This is cool' as opposed to 'This is how it works.' One of the negative consequences is that we can get fooled by misinformation more; one of the best ways to debunk an expert is to ask them to explain the mechanism." At Yale, Keil directs the Cognition and Development lab. He has written several books, from academe-oriented books like Developmental Psychology: The Growth of Mind and Behavior, to more general reader titles like Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science. His awards include the Boyd R. McCandless Award from the American Psychological Association (Developmental Psychology), the Distinguished Scientific Award for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology from the American Psychological Association, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a fellowship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, a MERIT Award from the National Institutes of Health, and the Ann L. Brown Award for Excellence in Developmental Research.  

Dr. Marc Brackett is a professor at Yale University, the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and author. Why is it so hard to actually feel our emotions? In a world that tells us to “be more vulnerable,” many of us don't even know what that really means. Are we being unregulated when we express emotion, or are we finally being human? How can we reconnect with what we feel so we can actually understand ourselves better? Expect to learn why only 1 in 5 adults can name more than three emotions they feel regularly, what emotional intelligence actually is, why we were taught such few emotional skills, how we can tell the difference between real regulation and repressed emotion, if it is possible to be too self-aware, how you can learn to reframe uncomfortable emotions—like anxiety or envy—into signals instead of shame and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period from Shopify at https://shopify.com/modernwisdom Get a 15% discount & free shipping on Manscaped's shavers at https://manscaped.com/modernwisdom (use code MODERNWISDOM15) Get the brand new Whoop 5.0 and your first month for free at https://join.whoop.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

In the blistering heat of New Mexico's sun-baked earth, under the protective gaze of Okuu Pin–the Turtle Mountain that majestically stands guard over Albuquerque–a strange and persistent legend has taken hold. It's a story of hidden Jews, of ancient rites disguised as Catholic rituals, and of shadowy ancestors who supposedly hid their true faith during the Inquisition. This is the tale of New Mexico's crypto-Jews—a myth so tangled in folklore, mistaken identities, and selective memory that it could only have been born in the fevered heart of the American Southwest.The modern crypto-Jew craze began, as many myths do, with an eager academic and an over-reliance on confirmation bias. In the 1980s, historian Stanley Hordes launched a search for what he believed to be the long-lost Jewish roots of New Mexico's Spanish-speaking residents—descendants, he claimed, of an elusive and mysterious population that had secretly kept the flames of Judaism alive for centuries, hidden beneath the Catholic veneer imposed by the Spanish Empire.  But when we scratch the surface and look closer at what Hordes—and his followers—were really chasing, the myth becomes apparent. A myth so potent it gave rise to an entire identity-bending industry steeped in false history.PLUS: Chapter Two of the JUAN DIEGO CODE!listener comments? Feedback? Shoot us a text!

Today's guest is Abby Bloom. I first met Abby in late 2017 and we've stayed in close contact since. She's a remarkable woman and this is her second time on the show, and we get into a lot of her backstory way back in episode three, like being among the first cohort of women at Yale University, and her work designing and implementing healthy systems and programs right around the world. When I met Abby for the first time she was talking then about the impending care, aging and health system failures we were sleep walking into - and as we've seen through recent reports and our daily lived experiences the structural and systemic failures in child care, gambling reform and environmental regulation - it feels like we are in the era of progressive degradation of a societal, economic and political operating system that has underpinned many of the reason why we are living for longer, which is core to Abby's new book, The Cost of Not Caring.The Cost of Not Caring is both primer and instructional on the implications of a society where people are living for longer, and the demographic, cultural, policy and economic shifts this is driving. Abby's career has and still spans health, government, insurance and innovation, and she's on the show today to help diagnose the challenges associated with ageing, care and health, what that means for governments, organisation and individuals. She's also got clarity on what's required to shift and evolve a complex problem field that requires an injection of bold leadership, new practices and a compelling narrative to galvanise a population around the value and virtue of care. And not care as a service or an experience, but something we live from and care about. In a time when the enshittification of just about everything is only matched by the forcing of de-personalised bug-filled AI into every nook and cranny, we are at risk of losing the fabric that holds and sustains the health of our society and relationships to each other.We cover heaps of ground in this chat - from her own moment of insight at her mother's 104th birthday in New York, to the strains and stresses of care, the obligation and privilege of caring for those we love, the creaking institutional systems we all rely upon, the four requirements to age well and what we can do as individuals to support our caring efforts and look after ourselves too.Get $500 off your solar battery installation with Reposit Power. Get 25% off your annual plan with Altiorem using the code FindingNature25. Find everything Finding Nature at findingnature.com.au and get in contact via info@findingnature.com.au Send me a messageThanks for listening.

"The protection of interiority is the central motivation of Metamodernism." So says Greg Dember, a Seattle-based musician, songwriter and independent researcher in Metamodernism. As the co-founder of the What Is Metamodern? website with Linda Ceriello, PhD, Greg's writing and podcast appearances speaking on metamodernism have helped popularize the terminology outside of academic discourse through accessible writing. He is the author of Say Hello To Metamodernism!: Understanding Today's Culture of Ironesty, Felt Experience, and Empathic Reflexivity (2024 Exact Rush). He is also a co-editor of the forthcoming multi-author volume, My Impossible Soul: The Metamodern Music of Sufjan Stevens (Bloomsbury/Lexington). He holds a BA (1987) from Yale University.____________Greg and Linda's Metamodern site - https://www.whatismetamodern.comGreg's article on the 11 methods of Metamodernism - https://medium.com/what-is-metamodern/after-postmodernism-eleven-metamodern-methods-in-the-arts-767f7b646cae Greg's book on Metamodernism - https://www.amazon.com/Say-Hello-Metamodernism-Understanding-Reflexivity/dp/B0DHGFKZ8W/__________In this conversation, I sit down with Greg to explore metamodernism as the cultural backdrop that's emerged since roughly 2000, taking over from postmodernism's ironic detachment. We discuss how metamodernism oscillates between modern earnestness and postmodern irony to defend the significance of interiority and felt experience. Greg introduces his framework of 11 metamodern methods—including empathic reflexivity and the double frame—and we examine how artists like the Daniels (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Wes Anderson, Bo Burnham, and even The Beatles navigate this territory. The conversation ranges from David Letterman's evolution to Don Quixote as a proto-metamodern text, exploring how this sensibility has spread from indie niches into mainstream culture, and what it means for how we make and experience art today._____________⏳Timestamps0:00 Episode Intro2:26 Greg's current work: Sufjan Stevens book3:26 What is metamodernism?

Absolute Ethical Life: Aristotle, Hegel and Marx by Michael Lazarus Karl Marx gave us not just a critique of the political economy of capital but a way of confronting the impoverished ethical quality of life we face under capitalism. Interpreting Marx anew as an ethical thinker, Absolute Ethical Life provides crucial resources for understanding how freedom and rational agency are impacted by a social world formed by value under capitalism, with consequences for philosophy today. Michael Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. Lazarus traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx's work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately, the book claims that Marx's value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement. In this normative interpretation of Marx, Lazarus integrates recent moral philosophy with a historically specific analysis of capitalism as a social form of life. He challenges contemporary political and economic theory to insist that any conception of modern life needs to account for capitalism. With a robust critique of capitalism derived from the determinations of what Marx calls the "form of value," Lazarus argues for an ethical life beyond capital. Michael Lazarus is a Lecturer in Political Theory in the Department of Political Economy. Before coming to King's College London, he was Deakin University Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute and a visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Interpreting Marx anew as an ethical thinker, Absolute Ethical Life provides crucial resources for understanding how freedom and rational agency are impacted by a social world formed by value under capitalism, with consequences for philosophy today. Michael Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. Lazarus traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx's work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately, the book claims that Marx's value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement. In this normative interpretation of Marx, Lazarus integrates recent moral philosophy with a historically specific analysis of capitalism as a social form of life. He challenges contemporary political and economic theory to insist that any conception of modern life needs to account for capitalism. With a robust critique of capitalism derived from the determinations of what Marx calls the "form of value," Lazarus argues for an ethical life beyond capital. Michael Lazarus is a Lecturer in Political Theory in the Department of Political Economy. Before coming to King's College London, he was Deakin University Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute and a visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

How will you age? Whether you are in your late twenties, fifties, or late eighties, everyone feels they are getting older. Of course we are chronologically getting older, so is a child, but we view children as growing older and better. Earlier and earlier these days however we view every day getting older as a negative and we expect to be less capable. Should this be the case? And how is the negative view of aging hurting us all, no matter what age you are as you hear this. This is a big topic of interest for me. I'm 54 and feel as capable as ever, and want to maintain this as long as possible. So I brought on an expert. Dr. Becca Levy, Ph.D., is an award-winning professor of Epidemiology (Social and Behavioral Sciences) at Yale School of Public Health and Professor of Psychology at Yale University. She has given invited testimony before the United States Senate on the effects of ageism, contributed to briefs submitted to the United States Supreme Court in age-discrimination cases, and participated in United Nations discussions of ageism. She is credited with creating a field of study that focuses on how positive and negative age stereotypes affect the health of older individuals. She is the author of Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long & Well You Love.

Day of the Dead is Subversive Spirituality! Long before the arrival of Europeans, some of the Indigenous Mesoamerican traditions of honoring the dead were celebrated with two specific feasts: Mikailwitl (feast of the dead), and Wey Mikailwitl (great feast of the dead). These feasts were celebrated in early August through mid-September. In fact, we are currently in the “month” of Mikailwitl right now, as it began on August 8th or the day Chikome Kozkakwawtli in the ancestral Mexika calendar. These celebrations were dedicated to honoring the dead through dance, song, and offerings of food and drink. Altars and burials were adorned with marigolds, a sacred flower thought to attract the spirits so that they might enjoy the offerings left in their memory.Today, these celebrations have been blended with Catholic traditions, and take place on All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Many think that Mikailwitl and Wey Mikailwitl were absorbed into the Allhallowtide (All Saints Day and All Souls Day) under the direction of the Catholic Church, as these Christian holidays also involve honoring the dead. Unfortunately, this popular claim is often repeated without any evidence to back it up. For example, a column about Dia de Muertos published on the website weareyourvoicemag states “in an attempt to convert the natives to Catholicism, the Spanish colonizers moved the celebration to November 1 and 2 (All Saints Day), which is when we celebrate it currently.”But is this how it really happened? Listen and find out as we explore the different ways that our ancestors negotiated and navigated the colonial process by masking their rituals and ceremonies behind a catholic facade! listener comments?

【主播的话】整整两年之前，2023年的十月份，以色列跟巴勒斯坦之间爆发了新一轮的严重冲突，并恶化为一场旷日持久的战争、以及一场接一场的人道惨剧。那天之后，世界似乎开始了一种持续至今的撕裂。在加沙，成千上万的人每天都在受难，饥饿、暴力、失踪、流离失所、残疾、死亡。与此同时，这场战争的回声，也在战场之外的地方不断回荡——在中东邻国、在美国、在欧洲，在大学校园里，在政治辩论中，在社交媒体上。过去两年里，围绕加沙的争论几乎无处不在：抗议、辞职、取消、抓捕、撤资。它不仅是外交政策的争议，更成了一场关于身份、道德与立场的内战。对许多年轻人来说，这不仅是关于中东的问题，而是关于“我们是谁”，以及“我们还能相信什么样的正义”。今天的节目分为两个部分。第一部分，主要谈中东。我们邀请了中东观察家刘怡，来梳理加沙战争两周年的重要节点，从巴以出发，探讨它对中东局势的影响。第二部分，重点在美国。我们邀请了常驻纽约的美国观察家思骋，来解读加沙战争对美国内政外交的影响。【本期主播】王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】刘怡：前《三联生活周刊》资深主笔，全球冲突报道者思骋：美国政治观察家，常驻纽约【本期剧透】03:32 加沙战局转向虚无，冲突轨迹受特朗普决策主导，军事行动与政治目标逐渐脱节09:18 加沙正在面临怎样的人道灾难？以色列系统性制造饥荒的现状11:22 战前加沙的畸形供给体系：以色列默许哈马斯控制国际援助流通，形成“物资可进、人员禁入”的共谋式封锁17:45 开战后，加沙生存体系崩溃，黑市物价暴涨50倍19:20 外援切断，美国仅派驻4个物资救援点，平民陷入平静的绝望24:39 犹太人定居点不断增加，西岸巴控区萎缩，武装定居者与隔离墙形成“蚕食式占领”新常态29:24 以色列社会的极端化转向，右翼基本盘稳固化，政治光谱整体右移34:01 巴勒斯坦群体的立场分化：海外巴勒斯坦裔激进口号与本土民众务实诉求42:35 阿拉伯世界的“道义卸责”：亚伯拉罕协议如何改变海湾国家对巴以问题的传统立场？48:10 哈马斯与伊朗构建的宗教抵抗同盟，如何替代传统阿拉伯民族主义？52:29 西方话语道德滑坡，两年间巴勒斯坦苦难从“被忽视”到“被犯罪化”57:40 2025年夏季为舆论分水岭，特朗普政府强硬压制舆论引发民意反弹01:02:05 “以色列替西方干脏活”：战后自由主义需要暴力维系01:06:56 在西方世界，为什么对反以色列政府的言论打压，比在以色列境内还要严厉？01:12:27 美国犹太社群的代际裂变，支持以色列如何从族群共识沦为矛盾源01:18:48 反犹主义如何被定义？又如何成为政治打压的工具？01:25:24 美国民主党出现政治代沟，年轻人在巴以议题和经济前景上面临双重挫败感【相关阅读】 Alex de Waal英国人类学家、公共政策学者与人权活动家，目前于美国马萨诸塞州塔夫茨大学法与外交学院（The Fletcher School）任研究教授。他自 1980 年代起在苏丹及非洲之角（Horn of Africa）地区开展“饥荒”研究，探讨饥荒的政治、社会与人权维度。研究立场强调：现代饥荒并非单纯由自然灾害或粮食短缺引起，而往往是政策失败、冲突、封锁与权力结构所致。其在饥荒领域的重要作品包括：《Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine》（2018）系统地回顾现代饥荒的历史：饥荒为何在 20 世纪下半叶大幅减少；为何在近年来又出现复苏；并指出饥荒多数为“人为”而非“自然”现象。《Famine Crimes: Politics and the Disaster Relief Industry in Africa》（1997）在本书中，de Waal 批判了传统救灾机构对饥荒背后政治与权力结构的掩盖，强调饥荒中的致命性常源于战争、封锁、治理失败，而非单纯粮食供应不足。 Masha Gessen 出生于俄罗斯莫斯科、后来获得美国公民身份的记者、作家和公共知识分子。写作涉猎广泛，涵盖俄罗斯现代史、威权主义、性别与 LGBTQ 议题、美国与俄罗斯关系、乌克兰冲突等。自 2017 年起担任《The New Yorker》的正式撰稿人。其代表作包括《The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia》（2017年获美国国家图书奖）等。她以批判权威主义、剖析自由与专制之间的张力著称。 《Trouble in the Tribe: The American Jewish Conflict over Israel》作者：Dov Waxman出版信息：Princeton University Press，2016 年Dov Waxman 为 UCLA 以色列研究教授，研究方向包括以色列政治、美国—以色列关系与美国犹太社群。Waxman 通过大量访谈与民调数据，分析近年来美国犹太社群围绕以色列问题的深刻分歧：一方面年长与更传统的群体维持强烈支持，另一方面年轻与自由派群体越来越公开批评以色列政策。书中探讨了文化、人口学、组织与政治因素如何导致“以色列不再成为团结来源、而日益成为分裂来源”的局面，对美国犹太政治与以美关系的未来提出判断。 《最后的乌托邦：历史中的人权》The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History作者：Samuel Moyn出版信息：商务印书馆，2016 年Samuel Moyn 是美国耶鲁大学（Yale University）法律与历史双聘教授，专攻现代欧洲思想史、国际法与人权史。本书提出一个颇具挑战性的观点：当今“人权”作为普遍正义话语并非源远流长，而是在1960 年代末至 1970 年代初，在全球政治与意识形态乌托邦（社会主义、民族解放运动）瓦解之后，才真正成为国际社会关注的核心。作者通过回顾冷战背景下欧洲、拉丁美洲、美国等地的个案，指出人权运动如何在旧有政治理想失败的废墟上兴起，并探讨其作为“最后的乌托邦”之意味 —— 即人权为何成为替代以往政治理想的新信仰。【特别鸣谢】蓝书屋基金会（Blaues Haus Stiftung）【本期音乐】Bleu-KomikuScreen Saver-Kevin MacLeod【节目制作】方改则【Logo设计】刘刘（ins: imjanuary)【互动方式】小红书@不合时宜微博@不合时宜TheWeirdo商务合作可发邮件至 hibuheshiyi@126.com 或微博私信会员计划咨询可添加微信：hibuheshiyi3 或发送邮件至 hibuhehsiyi@gmail.com

On January 5, 1895, Captain Alfred Dreyfus's cries of innocence were drowned out by a mob shouting “Death to Judas!” In Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair (Yale UP, 2024), Maurice Samuels gives readers new insight into Dreyfus himself—the man at the center of the affair. He tells the story of Dreyfus's early life in Paris, his promising career as a French officer, the false accusation leading to his imprisonment on Devil's Island, the fight to prove his innocence that divided the French nation, and his life of quiet obscurity after World War I.Samuels's striking perspective is enriched by a newly available archive of more than three thousand documents and objects donated by the Dreyfus family. Unlike many historians, Samuels argues that Dreyfus was not an “assimilated” Jew. Rather, he epitomized a new model of Jewish identity made possible by the French Revolution, when France became the first European nation to grant Jews full legal equality. This book analyzes Dreyfus's complex relationship to Judaism and to antisemitism over the course of his life—a story that, as global antisemitism rises, echoes still. It also shows the profound effect of the Dreyfus Affair on the lives of Jews around the world. Maurice Samuels is the Betty Jane Anlyan Professor of French and director of the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism at Yale University. He is the author most recently of The Betrayal of the Duchess: The Scandal That Unmade the Bourbon Monarchy and Made France Modern. He lives in Branford, CT.

Rather, he epitomized a new model of Jewish identity made possible by the French Revolution, when France became the first European nation to grant Jews full legal equality.

“People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.” –Otto Von Bismarck  “It's funny, because when I was writing After the Hunt, I definitely wasn't like, ‘Oh, I want to write about this current socio-political moment.' I was really just invested in the characters and the story,” says screenwriter Nora Garrett about writing a screenplay that probes the dynamics of power, privilege and social accountability. She adds, “What I didn't even realize was something that was drilled into me because of my acting training – that the work, the scripts, the text, should not be divorceable from the socio-political moment. One comes from the other and I think that was just in the back of my brain while I was writing.”   On today's episode, we chat with screenwriter Nora Garrett about her new film After the Hunt, directed by Luca Guadagnino (Challengers), and starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri. Set in the philosophy department at Yale University, a devastating accusation by a female student (Edebiri) against a male teacher (Garfield) unleashes public and personal chaos that blurs the truth of the situation and will have you questioning the motives of every single character. Garrett talks about working as an assistant in Hollywood, spending time on many film sets, and watching the good, bad and ugly parts of the existing power dynamics. These experiences helped her form the complex, morally gray characters that inhabit her script.  “We have a really hard time holding duality in our head. We have a really hard time being like, ‘This is a good person who has done a bad thing' or, ‘This is a bad person who occasionally does good things.' And it's not even really about bad and good, right and wrong. I think it's about this feeling of why these characters present themselves a certain way, and is that different from how they feel about themselves on the inside?” says Garrett. She also shares what she learned about writing from working with Julia Roberts: “Economy. Julia is such a good actor, and I am the type of writer who will take two paragraphs to say what she can say in a look. I think that what I really learned from her was that sometimes you just don't need to say this monologue, you need these two lines, economy of word, and then asurplus of really good character thought brought by an actor can sometimes make a scene sing more than a lot of dialogue.” To learn more, listen to the podcast.

Please subscribe now for as little as 5$ and gain access to a community of over 750 awesome, curious, kind, funny, brilliant, generous souls In this “well-researched guide,” two of the world's most respected scientists reveal the forces behind the dangerous anti-science movement—and offer “powerful ideas about how to fight back” (Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun) “Science is indeed under siege, and that's not good for any of us. Here, Peter Hotez and Michael Mann name names...It's not too late to do something; it's time to get things done. Read on” (Bill Nye, science educator) From pandemics to the climate crisis, humanity faces tougher challenges than ever. Whether it's the health of our people or the health of our planet, we know we are on an unsustainable path. But our efforts to effectively tackle these existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and ideologically motivated opposition to science. Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez are two of the most respected and well-known scientists in the world and have spent the last twenty years on the front lines of the battle to convey accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information about science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition. In this powerful manifesto, they reveal the five main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press. It is a call to arms and a road map for dismantling the forces of anti-science. Armed with the information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths, shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet, and ultimately avert disaster. Peter J. Hotez, MD, PhD, is the founding dean of The National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, as well as director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development.

Trade tensions between the US and China have hit a new high mark. Last week, after China announced plans to ratchet up its export controls of some rare-earths and magnets with strategic uses, President Trump threatened to retaliate with 100% tariffs, which would go into effect on November 1 or sooner. But the competition between these two world powers goes far beyond trade disputes and tariffs. It's a contest between fundamentally different approaches to governance, technology, and economic development. China, of course, dominates critical supply chains for clean energy technologies. But many of the innovations that spawned those technologies were born here in the US. China builds, and governs through strong state control. The US innovates, but struggles to build. How did these two nations develop such different capabilities? What does China's dominance in manufacturing mean for American competitiveness and national security? And can the United States learn from China's approach to building at scale without sacrificing democratic values and individual rights?  This week, Jason Bordoff speaks with Dan Wang about his recent book Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future. They discuss the book's framing — that China is an engineering state and America as a lawyerly society — and how those orientations undergird what, and how, these world powers produce. Dan is a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover History Lab and studies China's technological capabilities. He was previously a fellow at the Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center and a lecturer at Yale University's MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies.  Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” This is the quote by Holocaust survivor Viktor E Frankl that headlines a new book titled, Dealing With Feeling: Use Your Emotions to Create the Life You Want. The book comes from my guest in this episode, Marc Brackett. Mark is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and a professor in the Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine at Yale University. Marcs research for over 25 years has focused on the role of emotions and emotional intelligence in learning, decision making, creativity, relationships, health, and performance. The quote from Viktor Frankl that came from his time in a concentration camp, and that Marc has devoted his life to, is saying that no matter what happens to us, we get to choose how we respond. And my experience of humanity is that no matter what happens to them, even great traumas, tragedies, and victimizations, what harms them more than the incident or event is how they conceive of it and how they respond. My concern is that culturally we have come into a place where we don't believe this. We feel it is our right and it's just, to respond to pain, with pain. And to say otherwise is actually offensive. Looking at the mental health stats these days, I don't think this perspective is working. This is the conversation you're about to hear with Marc Brackett. Marc previously authored the bestselling book, Permission To Feel and most recently, along with Pinterest co-founder Ben Silbermann, Marc and his team co-created the Apple award-winning app, HowWeFeel, that was designed to teach emotion skills and enhance well-being.

This milestone 200th(!!!) episode of The Heart of Healthcare Podcast features none other than Dr. Tom X.

It was October 9th, and the orange-tinted manchild sat hunched in the Oval Office, surrounded by his usual circus of bootlickers, propagandists, and professional ass-kissers. Cameras clicked, flags flapped, and the stench of urine, Axe body spray, and fascism filled the room. With a greasy Sharpie and a look of divine idiocy, he scrawled his signature across a proclamation declaring that every second Monday in October would henceforth be Columbus Day—no Indigenous Peoples' Day, no nuance, no reality. Just Columbus, the original imperial psychopath, reborn as a “true American hero.”This wasn't just another PR stunt—it was a calculated howl from the pit of America's id, another volley in the endless “culture war.” You could almost see the ghost of Joseph Goebbels smiling in the corner, whispering, “Good work, Donald. You've weaponized nostalgia.”Fear not, dear listener, I won't subject you to the full Trumpian ramble—no one deserves that—but here's a taste of the Kool-Aid the faithful are drinking:“Today our Nation honors the legendary Christopher Columbus — the original American hero... a giant of Western civilization... gallant and visionary... yada yada... reclaim his extraordinary legacy from the left-wing arsonists who have sought to destroy his name...”Barf.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “We have smoothly transitioned from one form of feminine subservience to another, but we pretend that this one is liberation.” “…Western sexual culture in the twenty-first century…promotes the interests of the Hugh Hefners of the world at the expense of the Marilyn Monroes.”~Louise Perry, British journalist in The Case Against the Sexual Revolution “For we were the purpose of [Christ's] embodiment, and for our salvation he so loved human beings as to come to be and appear in a human body.” “He became what we are so that he might make us what he is.”~Athanasius of Alexandria (c.296-373), On the Incarnation “The dignity of human nature, fashioned in the divine image, is such that God can take it for himself—and keep it.”~Nigel Cameron, bioethicist “[The] central doctrines of Christianity prompted and sustained attractive, liberating, and effective social relations and organizations…. [P]erhaps above all else, Christianity brought a new conception of humanity to a world saturated with capricious cruelty and the vicarious love of death…. [W]hat Christianity gave to its converts was nothing less than their humanity.”~Rodney Stark (1934-2022), Professor of Sociology and Comparative Religion “It is a serious thing…to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare…. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal…. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit….”~C.S. Lewis (1893-1963), The Weight of Glory “Christianity's success is to be found in its inclusiveness. More than any other of its [ancient] competitors it attracted all races and classes…. Christianity, too, was for both sexes…. The Church welcomed both rich and poor…. No other [religion]…took in so many groups and strata of society.”~Kenneth Scott Latourette (1884-1986), historian at Yale UniversitySERMON PASSAGEselected passages (ESV)Genesis 1 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image,    in the image of God he created him;    male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Matthew 22 15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.... 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” 1 Corinthians 6 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Hebrews 2 14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

How do you build a career with intention, navigate unsupportive environments, and find the mentors who will champion your growth? This week, we are joined by Leslie Sydnor, an architect and design manager whose journey offers a masterclass in resilience, self-advocacy, and the power of networks.Leslie shares her story, from being inspired by New York City construction sites as a child to finding her path at Yale and UCLA. She offers a candid look at her career, including her "dream job" designing low-income housing for the City of New York, her time in small, supportive firms, and a challenging stint in a corporate environment that confirmed her fears about who gets to climb the ladder. A pivotal point in her career was finding a mentor in Helena Jubany, who saw her potential and taught her how to run an office, a relationship that shaped her understanding of what's possible as a woman of color in architecture.Now a Design Manager for the country's largest community college district, Leslie acts as a crucial translator between the massive institution and its architects. She argues this is not a role architects have "given up," but a necessary function in a complex bureaucracy, one best filled by an architect who can advocate for the design team. "Find your tribe and keep them close. Architecture is such a small, interconnected world - you'll cross paths with classmates, colleagues, even old bosses, again and again. Your tribe will support you, tell you about jobs, and help you when you need it most." - Leslie SydnorThis episode concludes with Leslie's core advice for the next generation of architects, distilled from years of experience and her current role as an educator at Cal Poly Pomona. She emphasizes the importance of strategy, flexibility, and building a strong professional network, summed up in her key mantra: "Find your tribe and keep them close." Her story is a powerful reminder to treat job interviews as a two-way street, to ask the hard questions, and to find the environments and people who align with your values and will support your long-term success.Guest:Leslie Sydnor is an architect and Design Manager with the Cumming Group, currently working with the Los Angeles Community College District. With a career spanning traditional practice in firms both large and small, design-build, and now owner-side representation, she brings a wealth of experience to her role. A graduate of Yale University and UCLA, Leslie is also an educator at Cal Poly Pomona, where she teaches project management and mentors students on building intentional careers. As one of the first few hundred licensed Black women architects in the U.S., she is a passionate advocate for diversity, mentorship, and self-advocacy within the profession.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:✅ You are a young professional seeking advice on how to navigate the architecture industry and find supportive firms. ✅ You want to understand the career path of a design manager and what the role entails. ✅ You are inspired by stories of mentorship and the impact of finding the right champions in your career. ✅ You have felt undervalued and want to learn more about the importance of self-advocacy. ✅ You believe in the power of networks and want to be more strategic about building your professional community

Enterprises are significantly increasing their investments in AI governance as the risks associated with artificial intelligence become more apparent. A recent report indicates that 98% of organizations plan to boost their governance budgets in the coming financial year, with an average expected increase of 24%. This shift highlights the realization that managing AI is not a plug-and-play solution; organizations must establish multiple lines of defense to handle risks effectively. As AI technologies evolve, refining governance will be an ongoing process, especially as companies face incidents that could lead to substantial financial losses.Public cloud spending is projected to increase dramatically, primarily driven by generative AI workloads. A survey reveals that nearly half of IT leaders expect more than 30% of their cloud budgets to be allocated to generative AI in the coming years. This rapid adoption of generative AI applications necessitates improved cloud cost management strategies, as enterprises brace for higher infrastructure costs. Analysts warn that the financial models supporting this AI boom, particularly for companies like Oracle, which may need to borrow significantly to meet obligations, raise concerns about sustainability.Despite fears of job losses due to AI, a study from Yale University indicates that generative AI has not yet significantly disrupted the job market. The research shows only a slight change in the occupational mix since the launch of ChatGPT, with hiring in the tech sector remaining steady. A significant portion of tech employers plan to hire, particularly for roles related to AI, indicating that the demand for skills like Python and project management is driving this trend. The study suggests that while generative AI has transformative potential, it is too early to assess its long-term effects on employment.In a notable industry development, Huntress has partnered with SureWeb to expand its cybersecurity solutions, marking its first distribution deal.

The Voynich Manuscript This week is all about the strange Voynich Manuscript. We explored how this mysterious 240-page medieval book, written entirely in an unknown language and filled with bizarre illustrations, has baffled scholars for over a century. From its discovery by rare book dealer Dr. Wilford M. Voynich in 1912 at a Jesuit college near Rome to its current home at Yale University, we traced the manuscript's fascinating journey through the hands of alchemists, occultists, and royalty. The book features drawings of unidentifiable plants, unusual star charts that don't quite match Earth's perspective, and peculiar images of naked women bathing in colored liquids—all accompanied by elegant, flowing text that no one has ever been able to decipher. We discussed the leading theories about the manuscript's origins, from the possibility that it was an elaborate hoax created by medieval forger Edward Kelly to sell to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, to the idea that it's simply a coded language whose key has been lost to time. We also explored the most intriguing theory: that this could be an alien travel journal, documenting unfamiliar plants, star charts from another vantage point, and perhaps even the abduction process involving those mysterious liquid-filled tubes.
