In How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation, and the Fate of Nations (Princeton UP, 2025), Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world’s largest, most advanced economies—the United States and China—have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and

A leading astrobiologist "demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity's future" (Adam Frank, author of The Little Book of Aliens)--it is an evolutionary event at least as important as life's first journey from sea to landThe story of life has always been one of great transitions, of crossing new frontiers. The dawn of life itself is one; so, too, is the first time two cells stuck together rather than drifting apart. And perhaps most dramatic were the moves from

读经一（上主要照各人的行为予以报应，先是犹太人，后是希腊人。）恭读圣保禄宗徒致罗马人书  2:1-11弟兄们：无论你是谁，你如果批评别人，都是不可推诿的。你批评别人，就是定你自己的罪：因为你所批评的事，正是你自己所做的。我们知道：对于做这些事的人，天主必照实情审判。你这个人哪！你批评做那事的人，自己却做同样的事，你以为能逃脱天主的审判吗？难道你不知道天主的慈爱是要诱导你悔改，而你竟然轻视他丰厚的慈爱、宽容和忍耐吗？你却心硬固执，不肯悔改，自己招来天主的忿怒，就是彰显他正义审判的那一天所要发的忿怒。那时，天主要照各人的行为报应各人：凡是恒心行善，寻求荣耀、尊贵和不朽的人，他要以永生报答他们；那些自私自利，拒绝真理，反而顺从不义的人，他就以震怒和忿恨报应他们。天主要把患难和困苦加在所有作恶的人身上：先是犹太人，后是希腊人；却把光荣、尊贵和平安赐给所有行善的人：先是犹太人，后是希腊人，因为天主不会偏心待人。——上主的圣言。答唱咏

In this powerful episode, our hosts Vince and Cara dive into new findings revealing that domestic abuse is identified in nearly nine out of ten family court cases - yet still too often treated as a side issue.

UChicago economist Matt Notowidigdo discusses research showing that when heterosexual couples relocate, men's incomes increase by 10-15% while women's earnings barely budge, generating earnings gaps that last for years. Plus, couples are more likely to move when the man loses the job compared to the woman.

The search for happiness relies on certainty in reasoning and effectiveness in action. Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) coined a brand of moral relativism that, he assumed, could help us reduce mistakes in reasoning. Montaigne’s arguments give us abundant food for thought, in particular when it comes to making crucial decisions. How much can you trust your perceptions and logic? What mistakes are typically made by people under pressure? All in all, these discussions aim at improving one’s chances of
