908: Tobias Rose-Stockwell | Dismantling the Outrage Machine
10 oktober 2023 · 1 uur 22 min
Outrage Machine author Tobias Rose-Stockwell explains how social media fuels our negative emotions and disrupts society — and what we can do about it. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Tobias Rose-Stockwell:
How social media inadvertently created what Tobias Rose-Stockwell calls an "outrage machine" that fuels our negative emotions and disrupts society.
Because it generates more attention (which translates into more money), negative news is more widely shared and discussed than good news, which makes it seem like the world is worse than it actually is.
The more information we produce and share online, the more powerful the algorithms and AI designed to keep us engaged — and outraged — become.
The longer people spend on social media, the more likely they are to be politically extreme — and elements on every inch of the political spectrum manipulate this to their advantage.
The steps we can take to guard against the outrage machine's control over our emotions and distortion of our reality.
And much more...

906: Shane Parrish | Decoding Decisions Through Clear Thinking
5 oktober 2023 · 1 uur 16 min
Learn how to optimize decision-making, gain competitive advantage, and live more intentionally through clear thinking with Farnam Street's Shane Parrish. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Shane Parrish:
Clear thinking equips you to identify transformative moments and adjust your response in the critical space between stimulus and reaction.
Despite seeing ourselves as life's main characters, many of us operate on autopilot, guided by ingrained behavioral defaults shaped by biology, evolution, and culture.
In our lowest moments, we react without thought, often missing the chance to engage in reasoning. Conversely, at our best, we identify these moments and employ our full capacity for reasoning.
Your options are defined by your position in ordinary moments. A good position offers abundant and improved choices, while a bad one confines and diminishes options over time.
Learn how you can optimize decision-making, gain competitive advantage, and live a more intentional life through clear thinking.

905: A New Civil War in Sudan | Out of the Loop
3 oktober 2023 · 1 uur 9 min
Who are the key players in Sudan's new civil war, and what's the "best" way this can play out? ICRC's Dr. Gasim Mohammed takes us behind the scenes! Lees meer
Welcome to another one of our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them.
On This Episode of Out of the Loop:
Sudan is currently in a civil war between two factions of the military: the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The SAF is led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who led the military coup in 2021 that ousted the civilian government.
The RSF is led by General Mohamed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Darfur.
This latest civil war in a nation accustomed to conflict has triggered a humanitarian crisis, leading to the displacement of millions who urgently require food and medical assistance.
As a fledgling democracy rich in resources but economically struggling, Sudan is a test case for whether democracy can take root in the Arab world. While the current civil war undermines this case, what's the best way this can play out for the people of Sudan — and the world? What can we do to help?
And much more!

How do you overcome your abusive father's harassment and protect yourself from his unhinged, unwelcome intrusions in the future?

903: Dan Ariely | Why Rational People Believe Irrational Things
28 september 2023 · 1 uur 26 min
What makes rational people believe irrational things? For that matter, how do we know we're the ones being rational? Misbelief author Dan Ariely explains! Lees meer
What We Discuss with Dan Ariely:
Why some of our family and friends we once considered rational have succumbed to "misbelief" — they doubt widely confirmed facts and wholeheartedly buy into bizarre conspiracy theories that wouldn't pass muster in an elementary school science fair.
Why misbelief has a universal appeal to human beings on both sides of the political divide, and how understanding the psychology behind it helps us diminish its impact.
How misbelief campaigns are often ignited by people who operate in bad faith for power, fame, and money, but the majority of people who fall for their grift (and spread it) are victims who require empathy, not judgment, to break free.
Dan shares the psychological toll of receiving death threats from conspiracy theorists who believe he's part of some sinister global cabal intent on decimating the human population.
How cultivating resilience works as a "vaccine" — appropriately enough — to misbelief in ourselves and others.
And much more...

902: Michael Easter | Rewiring Your Scarcity Brain in a World of Excess
26 september 2023 · 1 uur 24 min
Tired of constantly craving what you don't have instead of being satisfied with what you do? Scarcity Brain author Michael Easter is here to help! Lees meer
What We Discuss with Michael Easter:
What is the scarcity brain that helped humans evolve to run the planet, and how does it work against us in the context of the modern world?
How the scarcity loop operates like a "serial killer" of motivation to push us into repeat behaviors that can be fun in the short term, but have the potential to harm us in the long term.
What causes us to manufacture the scarcity loops that can ruin our lives with minimal prompting — and what can pigeons teach us about how the scarcity brain processes gambling?
How we can break these scarcity loops when they're so entrenched in every aspect of our behavior.
How scarcity loops can be gamed for positive benefit.
And much more...

901: Lawns | Skeptical Sunday
24 september 2023 · 36 min
Your lawn may be your pride and joy, but is there an environmentally friendly alternative? Join us in the weeds with Michael Regilio on Skeptical Sunday! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:
Lawns are a symbol of American culture, but they have significant environmental drawbacks — including water wastage, pesticide use, and habitat destruction.
The origins of lawns can be traced back to British aristocracy, who sought to emulate Italian landscape paintings with vast, manicured lawns around their mansions.
Lawns in the United States became more widespread after World War II, with suburban developments like Levittown contributing to their popularity.
Noise pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases from lawn care equipment are on the rise in a landscaping industry that pulls in over $100 billion per year.
Transitioning to alternatives like xeriscaping, native gardens, or even painting brown lawns green can reduce the environmental harm caused by traditional grass lawns.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
You're concerned about your friends' unconventional swinging throuple lifestyle and its potential impact on their children. How do you check in without seeming judgmental?
Pregnancy-related fatigue has you struggling to balance your professional and personal life, and the guilt of underachievement is bringing you down. What do you do when life gets in the way of your own expectations?
Your partner plans on ditching responsibility for his ballooning student debt because he's not optimistic he'll ever be able to pay off the predatory terms he agreed to when he was younger and ill-advised. While you morally agree with his stance, you wonder what your obligation would be if you remained together and it came time to merge accounts. [Thanks to certified financial planner David Gilmore for helping us with this one!]
You filled in for your manager during her eight-week vacation, built strong connections within the company, and gained the respect of your colleagues while stepping up to the role. Now that she's back, how can you use this valuable experience to prove you're ready for more responsibilities (and a bigger paycheck)? [Thanks to executive coach and From Start-Up to Grown-Up author Alisa Cohn for helping us field this one!]

899: Jennifer Cohen | Live the Life You Want, Not the Life You Get
21 september 2023 · 1 uur 9 min
Bigger, Better, Bolder author Jennifer Cohen helps us develop the confidence to pursue the life we want instead of settling for the life we get. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Jennifer Cohen:
Even the innately shy and introverted can develop a skill set of boldness to fearlessly pursue relationships, careers, and whatever bounties life has to offer.
Why boldness is more important than intelligence when it comes to taking advantage of opportunities that come your way.
How you can craft personal and professional connections without being schmoozy about it.
Even Beyoncé needs to adopt an alter ego to pull off her legendary, larger-than-life feats of performance — so imagine what miracles adopting your own alter ego can work for you.
How someone at rock bottom can still find ways to exercise gratitude and remain hopeful for better times ahead.

898: Forrest Galante | Seeking Unicorns and Resurrecting the Dodo
19 september 2023 · 1 uur 21 min
Wildlife biologist Forrest Galante rejoins us to discuss rediscovering "lost" species and why we should resurrect the dodo, thylacine, and woolly mammoth. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Forrest Galante:
What's Forrest been up to since his last visit to this show? Just milking venomous sea snakes and trying to find out why orcas are slaughtering great white sharks en masse.
Where are the world's biggest snakes found, and do they ever eat people?
What did Forrest find inside the world's largest cave — besides a variety of isolated ecosystems with their own weather systems?
Why following leads for unknown or thought-to-be-extinct species isn't tinfoil hat territory — and the clever ways Forrest and his team track them.
How likely is it that science will be used to resurrect extinct species like the woolly mammoth, dodo bird, and thylacine in the near future — and how does this ambitious goal fit into the conservation of existing ecosystems?

897: Is Friendship Defeated Because You Dry Cheated? | Feedback Friday
15 september 2023 · 59 min
Should you throw in the friendship towel after a feckless frottage foul with someone's significant other? Can you make it right? Welcome to Feedback Friday! Lees meer

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Should you throw in the friendship towel after a feckless frottage foul with someone's significant other, or can you make it right? Shrugging your shoulders and quipping, "At least it's a dry cheat" is probably not your best option.
As parents, you've been bearing the burden of your adult daughter's bad choices in education, employment, and financial responsibilities, but she hasn't always been so reckless. What's changed, and how can you help her regain her footing when she doesn't even seem to want to help herself?
You love to travel, but struggle to sleep away from your own bed due to persistent insomnia or hypersensitivity. You've experimented with all the common remedies to no avail, but what's left to try? [This segment is sponsored by BetterHelp. Big thanks to Haesue Jo, Head of Clinical Operations at BetterHelp!]
How do you gently nudge your 70-year-old parents away from offering body-shaming commentary that was more socially acceptable in their youth (and was instrumental in the negative way you felt about yourself in yours)?
Though life in your hometown is what many would consider idyllic, you can't shake the feeling that you've missed out on experiencing what it would be like to live elsewhere. How can you explore your options without upending the quality of life your family currently enjoys?

896: Captain Max Hardberger | The Man Who Steals Ships from Pirates
14 september 2023 · 1 uur 7 min
Recovering stolen ships from pirates in the world's most troubled waters is big business, and Captain Max Hardberger is here to steer us through it. Lees meer
What We Learn in Conversation with Captain Max Hardberger:
Not all pirates are impoverished desperados with nothing to lose — the most vicious ones wear suits and hobnob with royalty.
The surprising places where ships are illegitimately seized by the rich and powerful who know how to play the game.
When ship owners can't recover their seized property through legal channels in corrupt courts, they turn to people like Captain Max Hardberger.
How Max determines if someone's claim to a seized ship is valid, or if they're trying to scam him into heisting somebody else's property.
The extreme "extraction" methods Max is prepared to employ when ships can't be reclaimed by mere paperwork.

895: Robert Waldinger | Unlocking the Science of Happiness
12 september 2023 · 1 uur 8 min
What can an 85-year study tell us about the science of happiness, and how can we leverage this knowledge to live the good life? Robert Waldinger explains! Lees meer
What We Discuss with Robert Waldinger:
How does the ongoing Harvard Study of Adult Development, initiated in 1938, shed light on the key elements of leading a happy and fulfilling life?
Relationships are the most important component of happiness — the good news is it's never too late to make new friends.
The touch of a good friend or a beloved pet can bring our stress levels down and reduce whatever pain we're experiencing at that moment.
20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked late are your kids.
Social media can be responsible for generating a lot of angst and FOMO, but it can also contribute to happiness if you use it for curated, positive communication with others.

894: Psychics and Tarot Cards | Skeptical Sunday
10 september 2023 · 1 uur 26 min
Even if psychics and tarot cards can't give you reliable advice from the great beyond, what's the harm? Join us for Skeptical Sunday with David C. Smalley! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Why aren't psychics and tarot card readers prosecuted for fraud when they can't genuinely provide supernatural information to paying clients? Furthermore, why do they charge for their services if they could simply use their powers to win the lottery?
If psychics can't really tap into the other side for forbidden knowledge from beyond the grave, how do they seem to know so much about my dead uncle's final wishes?
Despite a thriving industry of self-proclaimed psychics claiming expertise in finding missing children and solving cold cases, investigative journalists (and normal people just paying attention) have proven their claims wrong more often than right.
What tarot cards are actually telling you.
It's easy to dismiss psychics as harmless fun and a way for people to cope with the loss of their loved ones, but sometimes they can emotionally (and financially) harm those who are vulnerable in their time of grief.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Can you balance support for an unlucky but amicable ex with personal boundaries that keep you tethered to your own improvement?
As the rock upon which others find stability when they're pushed to their limits, official assistance for your coaching role is lacking. Is it time to organize?
Is the therapist advising you to stick with your philandering, narcissistic dentist of a husband because "you're not getting any younger, and that's just how dentists are" a quack?
Your hard work and seed investment allowed your wife to quit her 9-5 job to start her own business, which is thriving after a bumpy start. But now she's seen by your family and the community as the savvy entrepreneur and you're just the dude who "works on the computer all day." Is there a way to elevate yourself (and your withering ego) without diminishing your better half?
After being caught smuggling Bibles into China 20 years ago, you'd love to revisit the country. How can you find out if you're on some kind of list that might get you instantly arrested and disappeared by the totalitarian government when crossing the border?

892: Tim Urban | What's Our Problem (And How Do We Solve It)?
7 september 2023 · 1 uur 27 min
Wait But Why's Tim Urban helps us find ways to cope with the chaos of current events in his new book, What's Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Tim Urban:
Why we're so polarized and partisan in our political beliefs — seemingly more than ever before.
How low-rung thinking prevails on both sides of the political aisle (and what we can do to ascend to higher-rung thinking).
The perspective we can gain if we imagine the history of humanity as a 1,000-page book.
How the internet went from a unifying force of human connection to a division-sowing outrage generator.
Why we should strive to build our own "idea lab" instead of comfortably hunkering down in a tribally sponsored, anger-generating echo chamber.

891: Andrea Dunlop | Exposing Medical Child Abuse
5 september 2023 · 1 uur 53 min
Women Are The Fiercest Creatures author and Nobody Should Believe Me podcast host Andrea Dunlop joins us to discuss the prevalence of medical child abuse. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Andrea Dunlop:
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (aka factitious disorder imposed on another): a form of medical child abuse where parents or caregivers fake or exaggerate their child's health problems for personal gain.
How the widespread availability of medical information online, social media platforms, and crowdfunding has broadened the spectrum of people engaging in medical child abuse beyond professionals in the healthcare field.
What the long-term psychological toll looks like for children who survive such abuse and how they struggle to discern the truth as they grow older.
Why prosecution of medical child abuse cases is difficult when family courts may not thoroughly examine medical records and even accept a guilty parent or caregiver's word as fact.
How we can keep an eye out for signs of medical child abuse, and who we should contact if we suspect the worst.
And much more...

890: Bioplastics | Skeptical Sunday
3 september 2023 · 44 min
On this Skeptical Sunday, comedian Michael Regilio joins us to discuss the pros and cons of bioplastics and the importance of responsible plastic use. Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Plastic pollution, especially single-use plastic, is a significant environmental issue, with 40 percent of all plastic produced being single-use plastic packaging.
Bioplastics, made from renewable sources like plants and algae, are seen as a potential solution to the plastic problem, but come with their own challenges.
Biodegradable and compostable plastics, often labeled as such, may not always live up to their claims and can end up in landfills, where they release harmful greenhouse gases.
Harvesting algae from excessive algal waterways and using it to create biodegradable products, like flip-flops and packaging materials, is a promising and eco-friendly approach.
To help address the plastic problem, individuals can reduce their single-use plastic consumption, properly recycle plastic materials, and support initiatives that promote sustainable alternatives like algae-based products and responsible waste disposal.

889: Win Against Addiction Uncovers Old Afflictions | Feedback Friday
1 september 2023 · 1 uur
Guilt over stealing from your dad under the thrall of addiction also makes you ponder how his actions influenced your addiction. Welcome to Feedback Friday! Lees meer
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!
On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Guilt over stealing from your dad under the thrall of addiction also makes you ponder how his actions influenced your addiction. How do you come to grips with your past to break the cycle of affliction (especially now that the cost of therapy surpasses your budget)?
Can you restore trust to a relationship once infidelity and lies are introduced? Perhaps it's more important to wonder: Should you even try?
Do you have legal recourse against a law firm that somehow leaked your personal information in an online data breach — although you never did business with them or gave them the info in the first place, and they refuse to answer your inquiries? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us with another sticky situation!]
After running the family dojo during your stepfather's cancer treatment and his subsequent surprise departure, he's returned, accusing you and your mother of theft while poaching clients for his own dojo. Do you sever ties, pay the six figures he claims he's owed, or intervene on behalf of his seemingly slipping mental health?
You joined your current company because of its values and mission to help people, but you've seen those values shift since the death of its founder. Now the financial bottom line always trumps morality. Is there a way for an organization to strike a balance between give and take? Or should you simply give up and become anothe…

31 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 29 min
AI advocate Marc Andreessen joins us to clear up misconceptions about AI and discuss its potential impact on job creation, creativity, and moral reasoning. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Marc Andreessen:
Will AI create new jobs, take our old ones outright, or amplify our ability to perform them better?
What role will AI play in current and future US-China relations?
How might AI be used to shape (or manipulate) public opinion and the economy?
Does AI belong in creative industries, or does it challenge (and perhaps cheapen) what it means to be human?
How can we safeguard our future against the possibility that AI could get smart enough to remove humanity from the board entirely?

887: Andy Clark | How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality
29 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 9 min
University of Sussex cognitive philosophy professor Andy Clark joins us to discuss how our brains experience and manipulate the reality that surrounds us. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Andy Clark:
How your brain operates as a prediction machine that constructs an estimation of reality based on available data rather than relaying an entirely precise narrative of the outside world.
The problems that arise when the senses through which your brain gathers data don't always convey an accurate picture of reality.
What phantom vibration syndrome and auditory hallucinations may indicate about your brain's capacity for prediction.
How your brain fills in the gaps when sensory information is missing or incomplete.
Why placebos are often effective — even when you know they're placebos.

886: Flat Earthers | Skeptical Sunday
27 augustus 2023 · 50 min
Why do some insist Earth is flat despite thousands of years of evidence to the contrary? Dave Farina joins us for Skeptical Sunday to round up some answers! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Belief in a flat Earth rejects historical knowledge, distorts observations, denies gravity, and originates from a mix of misguided ideas and online interactions.
Flat Earth proponents misrepresent scale and ignore basic principles of grade school science in their arguments against a spherical Earth.
The origins of modern flat Earth belief are uncertain, possibly beginning life as a meme or a conspiracy theory and gaining traction among the gullible for the benefit of disinformation peddlers.
Debunkers have exposed flaws in flat Earth belief with easily observable facts, thankfully contributing to a recent decline in its popularity.
Flat Earth belief exemplifies the broader issue of science denial in modern society and reminds us to do our part to promote critical thinking.

885: No Need to Be Chummy with a Grandad So Scummy | Feedback Friday
25 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 7 min
Are you right to cut ties with your grandpa now that his sociopathic, incestuous, and pedophilic history has come to light? Welcome to Feedback Friday! Lees meer
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Some people in your family disagree with your decision to cut ties with Grandpa now that his sociopathic, incestuous, and pedophilic history has come to light. What should you do? [Thanks to Maria Socolof and Brad Watts for helping us with another heavy one!]
Six months off weed during a manic period brought you artistic success and closeness to your wife and kids. Now, in a 'down' time, an urge to resume communion with the righteous herb has returned — much to the chagrin of your wife. Is it worth it?
Your father gave you and your siblings each $100,000 to use for investing in real estate. While you did use much of it to put a down payment on a house, you wasted about half self-soothing while dealing with a depressing, friendless work assignment in the middle of nowhere. Though you know your dad would be disappointed, should you come clean?
Management at your company has become toxic since a recent merger, and they want you to jump through the hoop of finishing your bachelor's degree to make an extra $10,000 in your current position. Unfortunately, a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis has you worried you might not be up to the challenge. What's your best move?[Thanks to HR professional Joanna Tate for helping us with this one!]
Is there value in platforming divisive figures like RFK Jr. on this show?

884: What We Can Learn from Envy | Deep Dive
24 augustus 2023 · 50 min
Join Jordan and Gabe for this deep dive into the lessons we can learn when we enlist envy as a teacher rather than a bitter reminder of what we don't have. Lees meer
What We Discuss:
Merriam-Webster defines envy as "painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage."
Envy is rooted in evolutionary psychology as an aid to our survival, but modern life amplifies and distorts it into an overwhelming compulsion that can hurt more than help.
When envy crops up in our lives, it often contains two different desires within it: a desire for the thing we wish we had, and a desire to "beat" the person who has it.
Envy could be about wanting something we don’t have, or it could be about being someone we wish we were — or maybe it’s both, and wanting the thing is really just a clever way of trying to become the person who has it.
Envy can teach us about our genuine desires and goals, helping us focus on what truly matters to us. By practicing gratitude, distinguishing between sources and objects of envy, and acting on insights to overcome it, we can transform envy into a driving force for self-improvement and collaboration, shifting from "this joy is mine" to "this joy is ours."

883: Annie Ikpa | The Campaign to End Child Sacrifice
22 augustus 2023 · 51 min
Video editor Annie Ikpa explains how she galvanized a movement to ban child sacrifice in Uganda, and what's in store for the fight ahead. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Annie Ikpa:
Why child sacrifice is so common in Uganda that Annie Ikpa had to spend seven years campaigning for a law against it.
Who hires the exploitative witch doctors who perform these sacrifices in the name of fortune or other earthly delights?
How children are selected for sacrifice because they're relatively easy to abduct, less likely to fight back, and are regarded by true believers as spiritually more "pure" than adults.
Why even a child who is "lucky" enough to survive a sacrifice is left mentally and physically traumatized — often with brutal scars across their bodies, missing limbs, and/or mutilated genitals.
What you can do to help raise awareness and put a stop to this barbarous practice that continues in spite of positive strides in preventative legislation.

882: Homeopathy | Skeptical Sunday
20 augustus 2023 · 45 min
Is homeopathy an effective alternative medicine or an unproven, unscientific sham? Comedian Michael Regilio joins us for Skeptical Sunday to find out! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Homeopathy is an alternative medicine with a long history, relying on the principle of "like cures like" and the idea that water has memory.
Despite lacking scientific proof, homeopathic products are widely marketed and sold, even though they're required to carry warnings of unproven efficacy.
Homeopathic practices have faced criticism, and DNA testing has even revealed mislabeled or diluted ingredients and dangerous products on the market.
Some people turn to homeopathy for stress relief and placebo effects, but many are unaware of its lack of scientific basis.
While there's pushback against homeopathy, it continues to thrive due to marketing, endorsements by celebrities, and regulatory gaps.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
The circle of trust between you, your best friend, and his girlfriend has accidentally turned into a covert love triangle. Now what happens?
Your gaming group decided to officially ostracize its most annoying member, and you've wrestled with guilt and anxiety over the way it was done. Is there a way to smooth things over with him as a friend even if the group doesn't necessarily want to give him a second chance?
A man 11 years your senior abruptly ended a one-month long-distance relationship two days after you first became physically intimate, and all you can wonder is: why?
As a high school freshman with a small group of close friends, you're devastated to discover your best friend is moving away with his family to another state. How do you find and connect with new people? How do you create long-lasting relationships?
Sometimes, it's the biggest betrayals delivered by the people we thought we could trust most during our lowest point that set us on a course of radical self-improvement — provided we find the strength to survive them, as our very own Jase can testify.

880: Ian Bremmer | Dealing with a World In Disarray
17 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 26 min
The Power of Crisis author Ian Bremmer rejoins us to assess the top threats facing our world today and the difficult choices they may force us to make. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Ian Bremmer:
The effective unified Western response to Ukrainian invasion has transformed Russia from a would-be China into a massive Iran.
China's Xi Jinping has been concentrating his power — which will allow him to make bigger mistakes that affect billions of people even more quickly.
The unchecked proliferation of AI can move markets and effortlessly generate mountains of disinformation on social media to further the agendas of extremists.
The growing partisan polarization of the American electorate continues to erode the legitimacy of core federal institutions and the peaceful transfer of power through free and fair elections.
While the consequences of water scarcity will worsen, unprepared governments' ability to handle them seems unlikely to improve.

Society focuses on the negative qualities of psychopathy. But what are the upsides?

878: Body Language | Skeptical Sunday
13 augustus 2023 · 54 min
Can we accurately read someone's body language to gain access to their innermost thoughts? Andrew Gold joins us on this Skeptical Sunday to find out! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Body language research has found that indicators of deception may include eye movements, blinking, posture shifts, and word choice, but these cues can vary widely and require careful consideration.
Body language can be influenced by various factors, making it challenging to precisely interpret.
The use of body language by experts like the FBI involves observing consistent patterns in a suspect's behavior over time.
While body language offers insights, it is not foolproof, and understanding context and individual differences is crucial for accurate interpretation.
The case of Amanda Knox — exonerated after spending four years in Italian custody — highlights the dangers of relying solely on body language as evidence of guilt.

8 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 17 min
Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues author Jonathan Kennedy joins us to discuss how microscopic pathogens have shaped our world. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Jonathan Kennedy:
If we were to weigh all the bacteria on Earth, their mass would be about 1,000 times more than all humans. If all of the viruses on the planet were laid end to end, they would stretch for 100 million light years.
About eight percent of the human genome's DNA comes from retroviral infections we've endured over our evolution. From them, we've inherited memory and the ability to give birth to live young.
Our gut microbiota communicates with our brains and can directly affect our mood and influence our behavior.
We modern humans have our ancestors' romantic soirees with Neanderthals to thank for genetic defenses against countless viral diseases.
How the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture was a double-edged sword that brought us innovative progress and population-decimating pandemics.

874: Ayurveda | Skeptical Sunday
6 augustus 2023 · 40 min
Is there scientific legitimacy to the ancient Indian medicinal practice of Ayurveda? Dave Farina joins us on this Skeptical Sunday to find out! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medicinal practice based on balancing doshas (life forces) and natural therapies like diet, yoga, and meditation.
The belief in ancient wisdom's superiority to modern medicine and the allure of nature attract some people — especially those with anti-pharmaceutical sentiments — to Ayurveda.
The marketing and commercialization of Ayurvedic products and treatments contribute to its multi-billion dollar industry.
Ayurveda's emphasis on "detoxing" and "toxins" is based on misused terminology and misconceptions. Critics argue that Ayurveda's reliance on outdated concepts and lack of scientific evidence makes it ineffective and potentially dangerous. Despite the criticism, Ayurveda continues to be popular globally, with many proponents advocating its holistic approach to health.
Integrative medicine seeks to combine Ayurveda and other alternative practices with evidence-based modern medicine, though this remains controversial.

How does someone working undercover to bust child traffickers gain the trust of the world's worst people without losing themselves along the way?
How do sting operations navigate international and local laws to rescue children being trafficked and bring their abductors to justice?

Conspirituality co-author Julian Walker joins us to discuss how influencers have curdled New Age spirituality and wellness with the politics of paranoia. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Julian Walker:
Why have so many wellness influencers gone off the conspiracy deep end since COVID began?
What do these conspiracies have in common, and who benefits from their proliferation?
How do otherwise reasonable people get sucked down conspiracy rabbit holes?
How "The female-dominated New Age (with its positive focus on self) and the male-dominated realm of conspiracy theory (with its negative focus on global politics)" has synthesized into a hybrid system of belief dubbed "Conspirituality" by sociologists Charlotte Ward and David Voas.
Why a privately owned platform's refusal to host and perpetuate the views of disinformation peddlers isn't censorship or a violation of free speech.

870: Personality Tests | Skeptical Sunday
30 juli 2023 · 39 min
Are personality tests valuable tools based on science, or just horoscopes in a lab coat? Comedian Michael Regilio joins us for Skeptical Sunday to find out! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Personality tests, like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, are widely used by individuals and organizations as a way to understand who we are and how we interact with one another. But how accurate are they?
The Myers-Briggs test was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers — neither of whom were scientists or psychologists.
Companies use personality tests in hiring practices, potentially leading to discrimination and exclusion of qualified candidates.
The Big 5 (5-Factor Model) is a more accurate alternative, but even it assumes personality traits remain relatively static over time.
Psychologists and researchers should continue studying personality and behavior to develop more accurate and fair assessment tools that can better predict job performance and workplace success, but we should take the results of current personality tests with a grain of salt.

867: Rory Stewart | Walking Across Afghanistan and Iran
25 juli 2023 · 1 uur 18 min
GiveDirectly President Rory Stewart talks about "mad" politics, long walks in warzones, and ensuring our charitable donations actually aid people in need. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Rory Stewart:
What makes the UK's system of government "slightly mad" (even when compared to that of the US)?
How the kind of skills that get someone elected as a politician can get in the way of governing well.
How did Rory survive a walk across post-9/11 Afghanistan — just weeks after the fall of the Taliban, in the middle of winter, during a war, stalked by hungry wolves — despite being "guaranteed" it would mean certain death?
What it was like to be one of the first people to see the ruins of a once-thriving city since Genghis Khan had destroyed it over 800 years before.
How we can ensure that every penny of our charitable donations to developing places like Afghanistan and Kenya helps the people who really need it instead of stuffing the pockets of warlords, corrupt officials, and middlemen.

866: Astrology | Skeptical Sunday
23 juli 2023 · 42 min
Do zodiac signs dictate demeanors and destinies, or are horoscopes hogwash? Dave Farina consults the stars about astrology with us here on Skeptical Sunday! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
The pseudoscience of astrology (not to be confused with astronomy — the legitimate study of space) purports that the position of celestial bodies relative to Earth influences events and human behavior.
Initially designed as calendrical systems for predicting seasonal shifts and divining the will of the gods, astrology has been observed across cultures since at least the second millennium BC.
From a scientific standpoint, astrology lacks a coherent explanation and fails to make statistically significant predictions.
Experiments with natal charts and horoscopes consistently show no correlation between astrological predictions and real-life traits or events.
Belief in astrology may offer comfort and purpose, but it hinders scientific progress and critical thinking.

Your fiancée is so insecure about her appearance that she wants to skip a friend's wedding so she won't ruin the pictures, and has suggested hiring an actress to stand in for her at your wedding!

What We Discuss with Caroline Rose:
What is captagon? Where did it originate, what are its effects, and why don't we hear about it in the United States?
How captagon — with a potential trade value of over $5.7 billion annually — has transformed Assad's Syria into a Mediterranean narco-state.
Who uses captagon on such a massive scale, and how is it manufactured and smuggled across borders?
Why is Syria allowed a seat at INTERPOL, the organization established to reign in international crime — like the captagon trade?
What can be done to stem the tide of captagon and prevent it from expanding its range and influence even further?

862: Targeted Ads | Skeptical Sunday
16 juli 2023 · 48 min
Do personalized ads enhance our online experience or intolerably invade our privacy? Andrew Gold joins us on this Skeptical Sunday to uncover the truth! Lees meer
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:
Personalized advertising relies on algorithms that collect and analyze user data to tailor ads to individual preferences.
While personalized ads can be effective in engaging users and providing relevant content, they raise concerns about privacy invasion and potential manipulation.
Voice-activated devices like Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri are designed to listen for wake-up words, but there have been instances of accidental recordings and privacy breaches.
The use of personal data in advertising can lead to discrimination and perpetuate existing inequalities.
Stakeholders including tech companies, advertisers, regulators, and users have roles to play in ensuring ethical and privacy-respecting practices in personalized advertising. Users can — and should — take steps to protect their privacy and advocate for stronger privacy protections.

You're 35 and you've never had sex. How do you disclose your virginity during courtship with a potential partner without scaring them off and ensuring the continuation of this unfortunate trend?
Should you maintain a friendship with your college buddies whose partners alienate your wife? They acknowledge the issue but don't seem to care.
You support your daughter's use of therapy, but you wonder if maybe weekly appointments, emergency sessions, and direct access to her therapist might be bordering on excessive. Can therapy be addictive? [Thanks to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis for helping us with this one!]
Your ex-wife endured you at your worst, and you'd like to help her financially now that you're successful on multiple fronts. Is this appropriate, or should you consider doing so anonymously?
After working through the pandemic as a registered nurse pulling 10-12 hour shifts seven days a week, you're finding it difficult to reintegrate into a society that feels like it's moved on and left you behind. How can you find your place again?

Project Brazen's Mitchell Prothero reveals Europe’s cocaine crisis through the stories of cartel thugs, cops, journalists, and victims caught in the middle. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Mitchell Prothero:
Why European law enforcement is ill-prepared to deal with the influx of crime and violence associated with a cocaine trade that has grown to rival that of the US.
How European ports that have been historically instrumental in the development of international trade have become thriving modern hubs for drug trafficking.
What makes cocaine the "perfect" drug for illicit entrepreneurs who want to make a lot of money on their own terms?
Why loose cannon drug trafficker and murderer Ridouan Taghi makes fellow criminals as nervous as he makes journalists, agents of law enforcement, and European society.

859: Bradley Schurman | Demographic Collapse in Russia, China, & the US
11 juli 2023 · 1 uur 31 min
Demographic futurist Bradley Schurman joins us to explore a future where over-65s outnumber under-18s — and the changes society will have to face. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Bradley Schurman:
In the not-too-distant future, a staggering shift looms over the developed world: at least 20 percent of national populations will surpass 65 years of age, outnumbering those 18 years of age and younger.
Termed the Super Age by Bradley Schurman, this demographic transformation carries immense potential for growth or, conversely, risks leaving many behind.
Take Russia, for instance, where this trend unfolds amidst geopolitical turmoil and a high military mortality rate — 25 times that of Chechnya and 35 times Afghanistan's monthly casualties.
Failure to prepare for these impending changes would usher economic stagnation, increased isolation for vulnerable communities, and hastened decline of rural areas.
Yet, there is reason for optimism. By proactively planning, we can unlock the advantages of the Super Age: prolonged and healthier lives, enhanced intergenerational collaboration in workplaces and households, and unexplored markets and innovations.
And much more...
