940: Byron Reese | Humanity's Mysterious Journey from Antiquity to AI Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

How coded into our DNA are the universal innovations that have driven human history globally? Futurist Byron Reese shares what he's uncovered here!

What We Discuss with Byron Reese:

Why innovations that increase productivity are always good for humans — because they won't steal and devalue our jobs, but create more than we can fill.
Why did it only take humanity three generations to get from the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk to landing on the moon, but our ancestors endured 80,000 generations using the same stone tool without modification?
How much does civilization owe to the advent of language?
Why are ancient cave paintings found around the world so eerily similar — down to stenciled human hands with missing fingers?
What can we learn about our species and its intrinsic coding by studying the communication patterns of honeybees, ants, and other insects?
And much more...

939: Teen Blackmailed in the Buff Has Suffered Enough | Feedback Friday Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

The high school principal wants your girlfriend's nude photo for his 'investigation' into the hacker who got her to send it. Welcome to Feedback Friday!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Is it odd that the high school principal wants your girlfriend's nude photo for his 'investigation' into the blackmailing hacker who — posing as you — convinced her to send it? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for getting us out of yet another pickle!]
You spent four years getting a degree in a field that isn't hiring at the pay rate you're worth. Should you forge the path forward by starting your own business, continue working for peanuts, or just give up and go for a new degree?
Your wife doesn't buy your estranged father's attempts to make nice with your family — since his dire medical diagnosis — as anything more than a narcissistic compulsion to regain power in the relationship. Does she have a point, or has Dad really turned over a new leaf?
As an entrepreneurial woman building your successful business over the past 10 years, you find that clients seem to expect a level of personal involvement or interest above and beyond the service you're providing. How can you get them to respect your boundaries without sending them to the competition?
You don't mean to come off as a closed book when meeting new people, but you have trouble understanding when it's appropriate to share thoughts and details from your personal life or keep them to yourself. How can you strike the right balance?

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Your sister's life is dominated by a coffee kibbutz cult. What can you do to make her see the light and return to reality? [Thanks, again, to Corbin Payne for giving us some guidance with this one!]
As we close out 2023, we wanted to take a few minutes to look back at the year-in-doozies, talk about a few of the interesting themes that came up a lot, and just sit back and warm our hands on the collective dumpster fire you guys started in our inbox!
How do you intervene when you know your HIV-positive ex is sleeping around and not disclosing his status?

The accidental discovery of your sister's OnlyFans show has you worried it's only a matter of time before the family finds out. What can you do to keep this from erupting into a full-blown scandal?
When it threatens someone's employment, how can a false report to the understaffed, overwhelmed, and overworked Department of Child Services be contested? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us with another sticky situation!]
How can you gracefully leave a new job that makes you miserable without jeopardizing relationships with the friendly insiders who supported your hiring?
How can you tell if a ghostwriter — who offers to pen the story of your life for a flat, up-front fee — is legitimate?

935: Ben Macintyre | Escaping from a Nazi Fortress Prison Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

Join us for adventure with Ben Macintyre, author of Prisoners of the Castle: An Epic Story of Survival and Escape from Colditz, the Nazis' Fortress Prison!

What We Discuss with Ben Macintyre:

How Germany's Colditz Castle — around in some form or another since 1046 — came to serve as a Nazi POW camp for high-ranking officers of the Western Allies during World War II.
How concentrating Allied officers who had previously escaped from other camps — or were deemed to be a high-security risk — into one place turned Colditz into a highly competitive "escape university."
Why the hodgepodge layout of Colditz (known as Oflag IV-C during the war) made it a terribly inefficient prison — from which more than 30 successful escape attempts were made between 1939 and 1945.
Plans for more than 300 escape attempts made over the years involved everything from clever disguises to hand-dug tunnels to a glider made from bedsteads, floorboards, cotton sheets, and porridge.
What happened to Colditz and its prisoners after the war?
And much more...

934: Houthis in Yemen | Out of the Loop Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Who are Yemen's Houthis, and what threat do they pose to us here in the West? Intelligence analyst Ryan McBeth brings us in from Out of the Loop.

Welcome to what we're calling 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, We Discuss:

Though the group from which they originate has been around for thousands of years, why are the Houthis in Yemen suddenly making headlines and drawing attention from the West?
How Iran benefits from (allegedly) arming the Houthis to fight a proxy war against Saudi Arabia's influence in the region.
Why Yemen is a crucial link in the global supply chain — and how it enriches whoever is able to control it.
Why the well-funded Saudi military has a difficult time keeping the Houthis in check.
Possible global consequences of the recent Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
And much more!
Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube. If you have something you'd like us to tackle here on an Out of the Loop episode, drop Jordan a line at jordan@jordanharbinger.com and let him know!

933: Are You Fine After Fire or a Trauma Denier? | Feedback Friday Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

Are you really fine after a fire consumed your home and all you owned, or is there trauma you’re still taking time to process? Welcome to Feedback Friday!

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:

How did the GiveDirectly campaign to raise money for two villages in Kenya go (introduced by Rory Stewart on episode 867)? We’d say pretty well, actually! — and you can still help transform the lives of people in poverty by giving directly. Through December 31st, all donations will be doubled until $250k in match funds pledged by 21 donors run out. This is a true match, so any unused match funds expire after midnight ET on New Year’s Eve.
Are you really fine after a fire consumed your home and all you owned, or is there trauma you’re still taking time to process?
In the aftermath of your breakup, you sought therapy to cope while your ex-fiancée took a more questionable series of approaches that involved accusing you of abuse. Despite residual negativity, you remain hopeful you might be able to mend your differences and rekindle the relationship. Is this just wishful thinking?
While you’d love to honor your late father’s memory by attaching his name to a sizeable donation you made to a charity in your close-knit town, you’re wondering if leaving it anonymous and remaining invisible might be the wiser choice.
Your addiction-struggling brother chose drugs over visiting your mother in the hospital when she was terminally ill, leaving you to make end-of-life decisions per her wishes. Now that she’s gone, he’s loudly proclaiming to anyone who will listen that you killed her. How should you handle this?
A listener shares how he’s translated some of our advice into real-world application.

Show notes

What novel scientific breakthroughs will bring us back from the brink of total climate catastrophe? Mike Kelland of Planetary Technologies explains here!

The role carbon plays in climate change.
Current and projected methods of removing carbon from the environment.
How Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) enables the ocean to safely capture excess atmospheric carbon while combating the effects of ocean acidification.
