North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since. Subsequent immigrants didn't confront or assimilate into an "American" or "Canadian" culture, but rather into one of the 11 distinct regional ones that spread over the continent each staking out mutually exclusive territory. In American Nations, Colin Woodard leads us on a journey through the history of our fractured continent....

L’intelligence artificielle s’est invitée dans nos vies… sans frapper. Un jour, on lui a demandé d’organiser nos vacances. Le lendemain, de relire un examen médical. Puis de nous aider à séduire, à éduquer nos enfants, à choisir un métier. L’IA s’est installée dans notre quotidien personnel et professionnel, sans prévenir. Et pendant ce temps, dans les entreprises, les dirigeants s’en emparent pour repenser leurs produits, leurs équipes, leurs modèles. Une nouvelle révolution est en marche. Magnifique pour certains. Terrifiante pour d’autres. Human AI, c’est le ...

In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper—rethinking the very foundation of our social system.

Jo Guldi tells the story of a global struggle to bring food, water, and shelter to all. Land is shown to be a central motor of politics in the twentieth century: the basis of movements for giving reparations to formerly colonized people, protests to limit the rent paid by urban tenants, intellectual battles among development analysts, and the capture of land by squatters taking matters into their own hands. The Long Land War provides a definitive narrative of land redistribution alongside an unflinching critique of its failures.

Two authors with decades of experience promoting human rights argue that, as the world changes around us, rights hardly imaginable today will come into being.

The industrial age made possible by fossil fuels will surely decline as these fuels run out. In The Ecotechnic Future John Michael Greer alerts the listener to possible changes future generations may face as these dwindling fuel supplies lead first to a deindustrial age, then to a society which salvages the remnants of our current plenty, and eventually to a time in which people may learn to live in balance with the environment: an ecotechnic society.

As a boy, Robert D. Kaplan listened to his truck-driver father's evocative stories about traveling across America as a young man, travels in which he learned to understand the country from a ground-level perspective. In Earning the Rockies, Kaplan undertakes his own cross-country journey to recapture an appreciation and understanding of American geography that is often lost in the jet age.

In QE44, Andrew Charlton exposes the rift that will shape our future progress versus planet; rich versus poor. Who, then, will save us? Charlton shows there are two leading candidates: economists and environmentalists. Each says they know what is best for our grandchildren. Yet environmentalists see economists as merchants of greed with a blind faith in markets. And economists see environmentalism as an indulgence for the middle class of richer nations; those who enjoy the lifestyle afforded by economic growth, but take its source for granted.

The show THE HUMAN CONTRACT is all about our human rights and human responsibilities. It is leadership for all humans. It is meant to be free of religious or partisan biases. The contract is made up of seven principles that are based on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In early episodes I expose unvarnished examples from my own life, and learnings. In later programs, we have guest experts and topics related to these seven principles. The seven underlying principles of The Human Contract are: our bodies, our thoughts, our emotions, our expression and communication, our ...
