The hobby of amateur radio can certainly feel that way in the eyes of many, in the age of ubiquitous comms. I give talks to emergency management and disaster recovery students about amateur radio, and to get them thinking about "what ifs", and disasters that actually happened where amateur radio had to be used to get things rolling to coordinate a response. For some reason, people think amateur radio is only useful for the "zombie apocalypse", but when power is out for more than 7 hrs in an area, mobile phones go offline and no one's VOIP service will be working. The whole virtue of amateur radios, standardized to 12 VDC and minimal to no middleman infrastructure makes it ideal for a vast array of emergency and disaster scenarios.

Rory Sutherland (Rory Sutherland) is one of the most influential (and entertaining) thinkers on the intersection of marketing and human psychology. He is an example and a huge proponent of thinking from first principles and approaching problems not logically, but "psycho-logically"—using human psychology to inform how you design and market your product. Rory is also the vice chairman of Ogilvy UK, the author of Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic in Brands, Business, and Life, and the founder of Nudgestock, the world’s biggest festival of behavioral science and creativity. In our conversation, Rory shares: 🔸 Why good products don’t always succeed, and bad ones don’t necessarily fail 🔸 Why less functionality can sometimes be more valuable 🔸 How a great brand lets you grow on easy mode 🔸 The concept of “most advanced, yet acceptable” 🔸 Why metrics-driven workplaces can be demotivating 🔸 The importance of timing in product success 🔸 Tons of real-world case studies 🔸 Much more Listen now 👇 - YouTube: - Spotify: - Apple:

Dr. Minh Tran Ever see any nation send out a warship to T-bone a flag vessel of another nation in an ill-fated attempt to cut it in half and kill the crew? You're looking at it. Just because you fucked it up doesn't make it any less illegal.

I'm suddenly noticing that several people on different podcasts are casually mentioning the example of the one ring as a "neutral technology" that is neither good nor bad. That it just depends on whoever is wielding it "just like all technology".

The people of Europe stand with Ukraine against the threat of a false peace as much as a brutal war. Because of our shared history. Because of our shared future. Because it is just. Because it is necessary. And because they deserve nothing less. Don't abandon them. #SlavaUkraini

Talked to Trae in some nuance about the "good quests" idea. He broke it down into a 2x2 matrix (because why not) of is good / is bad vs. feels good / feels bad. Is good feel good is obvious, is bad feels bad is obvious. The other two quadrants are what's interesting. "Feels bad is good" is where duty and responsibility live...things like defending the country, maintaining law and order, disciplining children, etc. "Feel good is bad" is where vice lives...hedonism, more or less. Defining these quadrants and understanding what companies might end up where is tricky, but feels particularly important right now with AI.

Ogilvy UK Vice Chairman Rory Sutherland on why the best businesses win by doing the opposite of their competitors: "You don't make yourself like your competitors. You find out one thing your competitors are weirdly bad at and you double down on that." Rory introduces a concept he calls "reverse benchmarking." Instead of copying what competitors do well, you find what they're strangely bad at and own that space. "Everything from Apple to Buc-ee's to the Moxy Hotel. All of these really successful innovations are a product of reverse benchmarking." He illustrates this with the story of 11 Madison Park, which wanted to become the world's #1 restaurant. The head chef took his team to the top-ranked restaurant and everyone started listing what they did brilliantly so they could copy it. The chef wasn't interested. His response: "They're already doing it. So what's the point? Let's ask a different question. What didn't they do?" They found that the beer and coffee were both disappointing. Despite many chefs personally preferring beer over wine, it was treated as an afterthought. So Rory Sutherland made two unconventional moves: He turned the team's coffee obsessive into the "coffee sommelier." And a craft ale fanatic from the kitchen became the "beer sommelier." The result? In a Michelin three-star restaurant where nobody expects much from the beer, guests suddenly had a sommelier offering passionate food pairings. Only 20% of diners ordered beer, but as Rory puts it, their minds were "blown." It proves you don't need to outperform competitors at what they're already good at. Find the gap no one is filling, and own it completely.

🚨 David Sacks on a New Study Showing ‘Woke Bias’ in Most AI Models “What the paper purports to show is that almost all of these models, except for maybe Grok, view whites as less valuable than non-whites and males as less valuable than females and Americans as less valuable than people of other cultures … And if the results are true, it does look less like these models are pushing a woke bias.”

I have been posting against it before any firangi did because its clownish and most of all the entire tradition is from the UK (Royal Signals). The benchmark of a good parade is this. Our entire military-industrial complex is a copy/handover of the USSR.

The world doesn't just contain optimists and pessimists, and wise and unwise technology users. It contains enemies of civilization as well. And knowledge is impartial. It can be used for good or evil. But the enemies of civilization all necessarily have one thing in common. They are wrong. And so they fear error correction and truth. And that's why they resist changes in their ideas, which makes them less creative and slower to innovate. So our defense against the existential danger from malevolent uses of technology, the only defense, is speed. The good guys must use their only advantage to stay ahead. David Deutsch

2 former CSIS agents on our Saturday report openly discussing hard facts. Every Prime Minister since 1985 has been compromised to foreign interference is only the beginning. It's too bad every Canadian doesn't know any of this before they vote because I'm afraid the next leader is ordained to be Beijing.
