China has injected itself into pretty much every area of life we care about. From media to technology, energy, food, transportation and even culture. But this strategy wasn't random, it turns out that their entire plan was detailed in a book from 1999 which General Spalding is very familiar with.

The Wisdom Of Intuition - Iain McGilchrist - #455
2 april 2022 · 1 uur 2 min
Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist, author and a former Oxford literary scholar. Lees meer
Modern society praises rationality as the pinnacle destination we should all aim for.

Iain has identified that neuroscience, philosophy, theology and psychology don't always agree with this though.
Expect to learn why the modern world is so obsessed with cognition, why deliberateness makes less sense the more experienced you are, what happens if someone loses one half of their brain, what horse racing experts and Isle of Man motorcyclists can teach us about intuition and much more...

Thatcher Wine is professional book curator, founder of Juniper Books and an author. Lees meer

17 maart 2022 · 1 uur 21 min
Jon Birger is an award-winning magazine writer, a contributor to Fortune, a dating expert and an author. Lees meer
Typically men are the sexual protagonists. They're the ones who make the first move, they're the ones who come up with cheesy chat-up lines and deal with approach anxiety and rejection.

Expect to learn why the changing sex ratios on university campuses is creating a problem for men and women's dating prospects, how an experiment on dating approach-strategies earned a Nobel Prize, why it is always statistically in your advantage to make the first move, whether we can fix the problem of raising up men's outcomes in life and much more...

Does Anyone Care About Men's Mental Health? - Matt Rudd - #445
10 maart 2022 · 1 uur 11 min
Matt Rudd is Deputy Editor at The Sunday Times Magazine and an author. Lees meer
Men between the ages of 45 and 49 are at the highest risk of attempting to take their own life. In a world filled with accusations of patriarchal overreach, it seems odd that men are suffering so much with their mental health. It's not good for them, or their wives, or their children. Matt researched men of all ages to work out why men are unhappy and what we can do about it.
Expect to learn why your 40's might be the weirdest period of your life, why men would rather be a workaholic than face their internal fears, the challenges with the male denial of mental health problems, why men feel indulgent shame if they're sad, why boys are trained to be competitive in school, how to tell if you're genuinely getting old and much more...

7 maart 2022 · 1 uur 9 min
Mary Harrington is a writer and contributing editor at UnHerd. Lees meer

I wanted Mary to help me conduct a post-mortem.
Expect to learn why the porn you start out watching is going to lead you down a dark rabbit hole, how the introduction of the pill lead to fewer weddings and more awkward situations for women, why men need their own spaces back, what Mary thinks about the pornification of everything, why young girls are developing tourettes from TikTok and much more...

How To Overcome Regret - Daniel H. Pink - #437

Daniel Pink is a psychologist, speaker and an author. Lees meer
Regret is the most common negative emotion humans talk about. It's even the second most common overall emotion which we talk about after love. And yet our relationship with it is pretty terrible. Having no regrets is not only a bad tattoo from the 90's but also a philosophy that robs of us valuable insights from life.
Expect to learn the most common types of regrets people have in life, whether action or inaction is the cause of most suffering, how Daniel suggests we can grow past our regrets, why never looking backward is limiting our growth, how people believe in both free will and things happening for a reason and much more...
