  • Important conversations

    As an outsider to the international relations and global ethics communities(Bartender by night, mathematician/physicist by day) this is an incredible source for staying informed and understanding how nations, states, parties and individual actors are shaping the world. Obviously this podcast is not all encompassing, and it shouldn’t be, but is does have broad reach and myriad guests discussing important issues that affect many different populations.

  • Guests are great, you need a new interviewer

    The experts interviewed are so interesting. Alex is not a talented interviewer. If he’s selecting the experts he’s doing a wonderful job, but he’s not great at conducting interviews and brings down the quality of the conversation.

  • “...Marginalized...” “Not a Participant...”

    RE: mention of a Japanese man who took photos of the 1919 riots in Chicago. He’s still being marginalized because his name is not even mentioned, except as a “Japanese man.”

    One star for the irony of talking about him as being marginalized at the time, while still being marginalized today in this podcast.

    His name should be in the notes, as well as being mentioned in the podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Myth of AI Inevitability
Q: What are your thoughts on the Vatican-Anthropic document and its partnership?
She notes the document's importance in signaling moral consideration but warns about potential sponsorship influence and the need for broader civil society voices and accountability.
The Myth of AI Inevitability
Q: How should individuals think about their own agency in this AI moment, politically and technologically?
Virginia argues for maintaining human-centered agency, slowing down, and asking why we use AI in each context, prioritizing human welfare and democratic oversight over a rush toward efficiency.
Soft Power in an Era of Nationalism
Q: Can soft power survive hard power shocks, and what role do culture and charisma play in sustaining influence as leaders come and go?
Culture and values provide durable, long-term leverage that outlasts political leadership, while charismatic figures can boost short-term soft power, but without consistent values and alliances, their impact may wane when crises pass or when audiences reassess credibility.
Soft Power in an Era of Nationalism
Q: What explains the transition from liberal internationalist soft power to post-liberal variants under recent administrations?
Content and audiences of soft power have shifted from multilateralism and universal values toward unilaterality and transactionalism, which makes the approach more attractive to some audiences but risks weakening long-term legitimacy without a coherent, enduring strategy.
Soft Power in an Era of Nationalism
Q: How do you define soft power beyond Nye, and why does it matter today given multiple competing geopolitical narratives?
Soft power is a form of power that operates through attraction and persuasion within social relationships, not coercion, and it remains crucial because cultures, values, and institutions can shape behaviors and align interests over the long term, even when governments change.
