Ferdinand von Schirach (2026) - What is the dignity of man?From 🇩🇪 Hotel Matze, published at 2026-02-22 05:00
Ferdinand von Schirach is a criminal defense lawyer and bestselling author – and someone who has been dealing with guilt, justice, and human dignity for decades. He was last a guest at the hotel in 2021. I wanted to know from him what a just law is – and whether such a thing can even exist. We talk about human dignity, about the moral philosophical thought experiment of the trolley problem, about democracy, art, a near-death experience, and why our tax system might not need to be reformed, but completely rethought. It's about power, responsibility, justice, and his new children's book, in which he tries to explain all of this to a ten-year-old.

Tanaka Zakku: From Indian Hackerman to Japanese CitizenFrom 🇯🇵 Deep in Japan, published at 2026-02-22 03:47
In this episode, we sit down with Zach Mathis—now commonly known in Japan as Tanaka Zakku—a cybersecurity expert with over two decades of experience working in Japan. Zach recently chose to relinquish his American citizenship and naturalize as a Japanese citizen. When he announced it on Twitter, the post exploded, racking up almost 6 million views.What was surprising wasn't just the reach, but the reaction. The comments were overwhelmingly positive. Given the rising anti-immigration sentiment in the country and how quickly Japanese ultranationalist elements on Twitter tend to dogpile these kinds of announcements, Zach’s reception was a massive exception to the rule. We had a wide-ranging conversation about how he fell in love with Japan, the reality of the naturalization process, his cybersecurity career, and his twenty-year journey here. Hope you enjoy it!Links & Resources:Zach's viral naturalization post on XHybrid State of Mind (The Tanaka Zach Anthem) [musical outro]Enjoying the show?

To give birth at home (hospital)From 🇮🇱 אחד ביום (Echad Ba'Yom), published at 2026-02-22 03:00
In recent weeks, following a criminal affair you may not have heard about, a discussion that has been taking place in Israel for decades has returned to the agenda: the tension between hospital birth and the alternatives. This time we are with Dana Michaeli - a midwife, head nurse of the delivery room at Lis Hospital, and Tammy Tasler - a midwife, CEO of the "Movement for Freedom of Choice in Childbirth" association. Two midwives, and with the tension that has led Israel to attempt to decide not only where and how a woman can give birth in Israel - but what birth even is?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Halved incomes, unemployment, and debt are forcing Chinese people to downgrade their consumption.From 🇨🇳 不明白播客, published at 2026-02-22 02:13
The National Bureau of Statistics announced that China's GDP growth rate reached 5% in 2025, meeting the expected target, and the growth rate of per capita consumption expenditure for urban residents also reached 3.7%. The question is, can ordinary Chinese people's consumption really keep up with this growth rate? Why, compared to growth, have we more often heard about consumption downgrade in the past two years? Over the past month, I interviewed people living in different cities, of different ages and professions, including urban middle-class individuals who have worked in public institutions and the internet industry, young people driving Didi with millions in debt, and single white-collar workers. In the interviews, I frequently heard how people racked their brains to save money on groceries, researched coupons, and used proxy ordering, making saving money their most natural habit, ingrained in their DNA. On one hand, there's the government-announced GDP growth and "consumption upgrade"; on the other hand, there are ordinary people trying their best to cut down on daily expenses. I was curious about their current living conditions—how is consumption downgrade reflected, what are their incomes like, is employment difficult? What changes have their lives and work undergone in recent years? Are they pessimistic or optimistic about the present and the future? For this episode, we adopted a new format, and we welcome everyone to leave us comments and feedback. Some interviewees' voices have been altered for the program. Call for Submissions: The heated discussion surrounding "tickets hard to get/overcrowded" green trains has prompted us to seek listeners who rode green trains during this year's Spring Festival travel rush for a conversation. Why did you choose a green train? What was your experience like, was it crowded, and how long did you travel? For you, was it a taste of "earthly life" or an unavoidable choice in life? Please write to [email protected] Timeline: 00:00 Daily life of consumption downgrade 04:00 When did consumption downgrade begin? 08:05 Old Ma joined the community's flexible employment group, and the membership is growing 10:37 Encountering scams and age discrimination while job hunting 13:28 Consumption downgrade is not just about lack of money, but also pessimism about the future 16:35 Ms. Wang's experiences in the internet industry: writing materials on Lunar New Year's Day, sexual harassment, and layoffs 20:17 From cosmetics costing thousands of yuan to face cream for over a hundred yuan per jin 23:01 Didi driver Bruce's income comparison over the past few years 25:13 Life in a small single room of less than 10 square meters 26:49 Bruce's failed foreign trade entrepreneurial experience 28:28 New Year wishes Related Links: EP-172 Why do people miss the "beauty of economic boom times"?

That is why BNR is bringing its geopolitical alliance together again. We consider the situation in Ukraine from the Ukrainian, Russian, American, and European perspectives. In episode two, we discuss the situation from the Russian perspective. Russia continues to fight despite suffering very heavy losses and making little progress. Why does the country do this? Economically, things are not going well either. But whether that also means the country will collapse remains to be seen.

Understand the mysteries of the mind through The Ten Types of Human #BookSummary | MM EP.2612From 🇹🇭 Mission To The Moon, published at 2026-02-21 13:00
"We are not just one person, but comprised of various types of people." Sometimes we are shockingly kind, but other times we do incredibly cold-hearted things. The book The Ten Types of Human tells us that this is not abnormal, but rather a "survival mechanism" embedded in the DNA of every human being. In this #BookSummary EP., we will take you to explore the dark and bright sides of the mind, from the instinct of The Aggressor to the unconditional love of The Nurturer. And you, in a critical situation, which "self" of yours will emerge to control everything? #BookSummary #TheTenTypesofHuman #MissionToTheMoon #missiontothemoonpodcast

What the Army learns from UkraineFrom 🇳🇱 Boekestijn en De Wijk, published at 2026-02-21 12:00
The Commander of the Royal Netherlands Army, General Jan Swillens, is in close contact with his Ukrainian counterparts. A conversation about the lessons he draws from four years of war and how we can apply them here. General Jan Swillens draws harsh lessons from the war in Ukraine for the Royal Netherlands Army and NATO. Drones, the Ukrainian Delta command system, and control of the electromagnetic spectrum are fundamentally changing the battlefield. Whoever doesn't control 'drone space' is a 'sitting duck,' and NATO exercises like Operation Hedgehog painfully demonstrate where protection, command and control, and realistic training are still lacking. The Dutch armed forces are therefore accelerating investments in long-range weapons, air defense, one-way attack drones, and data-driven command systems. Swillens emphasizes leadership, mission command, and a culture of continuous adaptation as a response to the rapidly accelerating technological arms race with Russia. At the same time, he warns that Russia is rebuilding its armed forces, gaining combat experience, and producing far in advance, which makes the defense of the Baltic states and Finland even more urgent. Ukraine functions as both a frontline and a testing ground for Western defense, with a crucial role for software developers and civilian support. Swillens outlines how the Netherlands is transforming into a larger armed force with reservists, territorial command, and close cooperation with the police and Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. A resilient society, prepared for digital disruption and long-term tension, becomes just as essential as high-energy lasers against drones, and that combination determines whether NATO deterrence remains credible. About the Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn and Rob de Wijk, led by Hugo Reitsma, explore the new world order. What do war, power politics, and economic shifts mean for Europe and the Netherlands? In each episode, they delve into current geopolitical affairs. In 2022, Boekestijn en De Wijk was declared the winner in the News & Politics category at the Dutch Podcast Awards Respond?

Report on the State of the World - February 21, 2026From 🇵🇱 Raport o stanie świata Dariusza Rosiaka, published at 2026-02-21 08:00
Donald Trump appointed a new head of the Federal Reserve. The previous one did not lower interest rates, which Trump treated as sabotaging the government's economic policy. Over the last year, many countries have decided to place their reserves in investments other than the dollar; alternative payment and currency settlement systems to American ones are emerging. Europe is looking for ways to build financial sovereignty. Can the euro or Chinese renminbi be an alternative to the American currency, and for whom? Will Trump's unpredictable policy lead to the collapse of the dollar's dominance in global trade, or are rumors of the greenback's demise somewhat exaggerated?English police arrested former Prince Andrew on suspicion of committing a crime while holding public office. This concerns disclosing information to Jeffrey Epstein during the time Andrew served as a trade representative for the United Kingdom. Is this arrest proof that the law in the Isles applies to everyone?Sweden considers aid to Ukraine and exerting pressure on Russia as the top priorities of its foreign policy.

#1062 - Dave Evans - It’s time to rethink your entire life planFrom 🇺🇸 Modern Wisdom, published at 2026-02-21 06:00
Dave Evans is an entrepreneur, early Apple engineer, former Electronic Arts executive, Stanford lecturer, and author. How does someone genuinely find meaning in their life? We’re often told that when things feel empty, uncertain, or painful, the answer is to “find more meaning”. But what does that actually mean? Is meaning something we discover, like a hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? Or is it something we construct through choice, responsibility, and attention? Expect to learn what people actually mean when we’re talking about meaning, the problem people are actually trying to solve when they say they want meaning, how to engineer more meaning into your life, what the difference between the problem-solving world and the meaning-making world is, what the red herrings are in terms of meaning, why so many people become objectively successful and subjectively miserable and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get up to $350 off the Pod 5 at https://eightsleep.com/modernwisdom Get a free bottle of D3K2, an AG1 Welcome Kit, and more when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT’s most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get up to $50 off the RP Hypertrophy App at https://rpstrength.com/modernwisdom - Get Dave Evans' new Book - 'How to Live A Meaningful Life' here: https://designingyourlife.link/how-to-live-a-meaningful-life/chris - Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

Whatever Europe tries, it is not seen as a serious partner by America and Russia and has no real place at the negotiating table. Yet European leaders say that Ukrainians are fighting 'our' war.

EXTRA: The curb on the massive tariff hike and Trump's powersFrom 🇧🇷 O Assunto, published at 2026-02-21 04:01
Guest: Mauricio Moura, founder of the Ideia research institute, columnist for O Globo newspaper, and professor at George Washington University. By a 6-3 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday (20) struck down the main pillar of President Donald Trump's trade strategy: the policy of reciprocal tariffs on imported products. According to the decision, Trump exceeded his authority by imposing the massive tariff and must submit any measure related to taxation to Congress. These tariffs were announced in April 2025 and range between 10% and 50% on products from practically all American trade partners, including Brazil. It is estimated that the amount collected exceeds US$175 billion, but it is not clear whether the American government will need to return the sum. The decision carries significant political weight. It was the first time since Trump's return to the White House that the Supreme Court imposed a direct limit on the president's power. He responded immediately and announced that he would use a new legal instrument to apply another global 10% tariff. To analyze the economic and political impacts of the end of the massive tariff, Natuza Nery welcomes Mauricio Moura, founder of the Ideia research institute, columnist for O Globo newspaper, and professor at George Washington University. Mauricio explains the arguments of the Supreme Court justices and shares what he heard from representatives of the American political world.
