  • Open relationships advertisement

    Imagine if that stupid car commercial talking about an open relationship was flipped to the man agreeing ? Women's rights heads would explode.

  • Reporting a particular viewpoint

    I listened to a recent podcast where the lead story was reporting on an interview with Elon Musk. The reporter said he was wrong to associate immigration in Europe with rising crime. The very next story was on youth crime and a facility in Sweden for youth criminals. Nowhere in the story was it mentioned that a disproportionate number of these violent youth come from a migration background. It’s as if they left that out in order not to contradict their story on the Musk interview.

  • Need Diverse Analysts

    I listen daily to The Intelligence and I must stop. Your analyst have no diversity in thought, perspective and life experience. The result is normalizing and providing cover to the outrageous state of world affairs.

    Thank you for these book recommendations

    I gifted one (DCC) to my son for his birthday and he was thrilled that I had heard of it!

    Turns out he’s on book seven! Apple were unbelievably helpful in changing it and that involved speaking to a HUMAN.

    Since when has the economist become a sucker to angry blue haired nose-pierced anti-Israel liberal leftist ‘activists’? Small wonder you have lost your standing. Grow a backbone!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Afghanistan, five years on: our correspondent visits
Q: Tom, what's daily life like for people?
People are generally struggling to get by, with peace coexisting with poverty; healthcare funding has dried up, humanitarian aid has been reduced, and many Afghans live in poverty with limited opportunities, especially women and girls who face escalating restrictions.
Settler bet: a West Bank flashpoint
Q: Dear Bartleby, I have an important position in monetary policy but two bosses and a bond market that disagree. What should I do?
The guidance is to seek alignment through open discussion and to recognize that you may not be able to physically bring the bond markets into a room; set clear targets and establish decision-making processes to navigate conflicting guidance.
Settler bet: a West Bank flashpoint
Q: Dear Bartleby, I run a large international sports organization and had an absolutely brilliant idea for bringing in pots of money fast. But everyone I work with hated it. What did I do wrong?
The adviser suggests focusing on pre-meetings and the value of testing ideas in advance, warning that excessive meetings can stall progress; he advises identifying whether the plan will meet resistance early and adjusting approach accordingly.
Working memory: the surprising decline of dementia
Q: How might Pix influence American financial interests?
Pix is unlikely to disadvantage American card networks in a straightforward way; it's more a model of digital inclusion that could pressure card networks if it lowers merchant fees, while posing strategic competition risks for American networks in Latin America.
Working memory: the surprising decline of dementia
Q: What role do vaccines or drugs play in dementia risk?
Shingles vaccination shows a measurable reduction in dementia risk in long-term observational data; conventional anti-dementia drugs have limited efficacy and safety concerns, while newer approaches focus on early prevention and broader risk-factor management.
