"But he told me one day that, yeah, everybody's mad at me at work, you know, because I'm the guy that has to install these new robotic cameras in the news. In the news studio. And normally they had three camera operators in there, at least three on these floating gigantic cameras, you know, with their headsets on. Okay, take camera one, you know, and then they replaced all those with robots or basically automated cameras that somebody in the control room could say, go to position a and camera would float over to position a and then track that anchor that host or whatever. And I was thinking, I was just thinking recently, I'm like, okay, that's analogous to where we are now kind of. People were upset. People lost jobs or had to retrain into different things. But now every station, every modern station on the planet is using every technology. And the technology that they were using back then to put on a news program. Remember the software they were using. It was a piece of software called quantel paint box, which was like Photoshop, negative 100. I mean, it was a hardware based just to do stupid things like put a Chiron on the screen or a lower third or something. It was all, and I remember him telling me how much that thing cost. It was hundreds of thousands of dollars just to have that point at that point. And you fast forward to today, like you and I were talking on a MacBook Pro with an iPhone or even in many cases, just an iPhone, I could run circles alone. Around what they were doing in that studio. You know, for gazillions of dollars a year. So the bar has moved, right? And imaging, it especially photography in the context of this conversation, the bar is moving. In terms of what we can do, what's possible in the controversy. So let's talk about the controversy next, right? So I feel like I'm going to commercial break, you know? Coming up next on this weekend photo, we're going to dive into the country. But seriously, the controversy, we kind of touched on a little bit in the beginning, is these AIs are pulling images from places. Like, I'm not exactly expert on the mechanics of linzer or how it works, but part of the controversy is it is replicating artwork from artists. From other artists, in some cases pulling in the photos in some case replicating their particular style and then recreating that on your photo and calling it something brand new. What do you think about that? Because you're in a unique position to answer this question because you have this gigantic body of work of celebrities no less, right? Who are very particular, I would imagine about what gets what happens to their images and who has the rights to their images and all the things. That's the bread and butter. So how would this affect them? Not just celebrities, models as well. I saw an image yesterday of an AI generated image and I looked at it and I know that model. And look, of course, she's like, you know, in this new look era, otherworldly, but looking at the features of the model, actually she's behind me right now. I saw the picture, I know her bones, which I've shot her millions of times. I'm like, that's my friend. I know her. The girl here on the left here. I knew right away by looking at her face and the structure that behind all that AI in some way she's in there. It did feel a little weird for me. And thinking about it and who knows what's going to happen and it's going to be a lot of talk about copyright in the future for sure. I mean, it is, it is scary. And I don't know where it's going to go. Yes, it is pulling images from what AI finds out there. Yeah. There are a lot of pictures of celebrities, of course, out there, of the more famous models that are out there as well. It's going to be a very interesting road for four people who are the actual creators of the work, the photographers, and for the subjects as well. So we very interesting to see where this goes for all of us. Rights, usage, all of that, fair usage, it's like the book has been rewritten right before us. And there's no laws out there for this because it's brand new. I think that will change too, I think there will be some kind of legislation. I hope to bring this under control, I think about the use of drones at first before anybody could have a drone of light anywhere, but even that's changed. You can't fly a drone anywhere in Japan today or anywhere over an airport, but in the very beginning you could, you know, anywhere you wanted to. Yeah. It has to like, you know, go through this iteration of change that we are about to go through. And figure it all out. We're all figuring it all out as we go and this is going to happen fast. That's the thing though. It is going to happen fast. And it's happening fast. And that's a great example. The drone technology. For two reasons. Number one, one thing is scary in that, yeah, eventually the FAA got around to in other governments around the world got around to saying, oh, okay, we got to do something about these things. Put some gates around them because they're flying. They're interrupting firefighting efforts and people are landing White House. The White House lawn. Okay, okay, so we need some so that was like, okay, let's stop messing around and put some legislation. But that took ten years. It's 7 to ten years to do that. AI is moving AI is way faster. Evolving lifetimes in days right now. So how do you put laws around something that is constantly redefining itself and growing? Before we start recording, I use the analogy of you trip and spill a box of sorted gardening flower seeds in your front yard, but hypergrowth, but they're growing, and now you gotta slow gardener that's yeah, I could be over there, maybe in two weeks, you know, but you gotta guess it's the Amazon. Yeah, where's the house? It's completely covered. So that's the first thing. The speed of legislation or regulation around this stuff. And can you even put this in a box? Can you even, you know, because it's global and you would like you can. You would need a global cooperation and coordination and all that. Almost like crypto, right? To put this by say crypto, like the same thing. It's moving too fast. Yeah. How do you reel it in? Right. Again, it's going to be a very interesting ride. I'm curious at the December 2023. What's it going to look like?

"Which might make which explains a lot about Google search. Use more GPUs. So that to me is really fascinating, right? So as Richard's 28, does it make money yet? The costs are high. Yeah. On a long enough timeline, the cost of technology come down. Sure. But right now, it costs around. And they're going to have to somehow make this a product. Yeah. Well, I mean, we're seeing that with linzer, right? Like Lindsay is this other big AI thing that's using, I think, open-source engine. Yeah. It's using stable diffusion, which is an open-source text to image AI, but also is monetized by the company that funds it. And I say funds it rather than made it because there is a very convoluted sort of licensing scheme going on that the company that is associated with its stability AI has put in place in order to avoid future legal liability. So they fund it, they fund it, but they don't research it and they don't make it technically. Right. But anyway, yeah. And so this other company prism is the name of it. Prism labs, yeah. Prisma labs has taken this engine and they've put it into their app. And so if you pay a certain amount of money, you can have little cute digital portraits of yourself. And also help them continue to train this AI. Basically, effectively, you're paying them to train their AI. Well, whether they keep the AI, do they keep the data for training aisle, I feel like this is such a meme within Twitter that like, oh, tool X is keeping your data for why. And I think that's happened in the past. We have seen that happen before. Where companies like, yeah, give us your face. Oh, by the way, we're working on facial recognition. Yeah, facetune. It was like the trenches. Yeah. We've definitely seen that. In prisma labs to their credit has said, they told TechCrunch earlier this week, either this week or last week. Yeah. Anyway, to their credit, prisma labs did tell TechCrunch that they aren't keeping a lot of this data. They are deleting it. It's going away from their servers. But isn't it still training stable diffusion? Or are they just like? It wouldn't be training stable diffusion, stable diffusion would be sort of separate from that. And stable the vision is based on a big database called Lion, which again is made by a German university. I guess they could be keeping it my feeling on that is that the bad PR of finding out an app is keeping your data in order to train its systems without weigh the cheapness of just buying that data. You know, if you want, if you want to get a million faces, download it to train a facial recognition system. There exists a database called mega face. You sound like a character from cyberpunk. Do you want to get a million faces? Do you want to make a face? It's my friend. If you want to get a million faces, I can get you a million faces. I got several million faces back here. You take a look. I go what you need. Come on. Don't you want this word to get faces? I get your face. Oh, I got your face. Ellie, prisma lab. They found their other ways. I mean, even if they aren't doing the whole, we're going to steal all of your facial recognition data so that we can sell it somewhere else. They are saying you have to sign up for a month of our service. The best just like Apple. The business model to it. Which is like, we don't want to sell you an app. We don't want to sell you one in app

"Sure that's something you weren't bringing up either. Like, hey guys, I haven't gone. And I never did a staff. So 93, 93, and then I got promoted yate in 2000. Four, three or four, or something like that. And then so from my time, the time I got to SF 93 until 2007, when I got my job at a group, which was to go to Columbia, I deployed 6 to 8 months a year in either South America or Afghanistan, so I was gone over half a year every year. Sometimes ten months. Ever make the a or were you just always on the B team? What's that? Always on the beating? No. People are going to listen this and wonder. That's why you never shared that. Well, after I land zero, I went to the team and recognized me. So I was on the team. I went to the Met course. I came back. They said, do you have any problem with your last team? I was like, I guess not. And it was some new people, new people in charge. So it was a step up, I guess. And then it had some great deployments. Did the Columbia missions before 9 11, which was there's a lot of money down there doing that. And then I went to a sought the SO course, which was not very popular then before 9 11. So I went right after 9 11. I finally got a slot. And then they asked for the 20th group was over to a rotation over in Afghanistan. So as soon as I got to the course, they're 23 doesn't have any level ones or level twos. They need help, who wants to go? Well, we only have two level threes in the battalion. And I'm one of them. And they're like, okay, so they asked me to volunteer, but I'm not sure it was an ask. But I was born. No one knew it was going to last as long as for those who wanted to jump in and go. Somebody doesn't know what you're talking about. Poke going. Special operations. It's a course that it's a course it's not a very combat course. It's more about as human intelligence course. And so they didn't have any human intelligence. What's the levels more of? Level of training. So if you go to level two, you've done a three week course. If you go to level three, you've done a two and a half month course. I got you, okay. So we went over there. So I went over there to augment 23, who of course didn't know me and I didn't know them. So when I show up and they're like, who are you? I was like, well, I thought someone told you I was coming. I'm here to help you with your human intelligence. I was like, we're doing fine. We don't need you. And there was a trust thing because everyone was doing something maybe not correct in the beginning because no one knew what to really do. You know? And no one wanted anyone to report someone that was doing something that wasn't sure what they were doing right wrong for lack of a better explanation. And so we had to work through our trust issues, but I stayed over there for about 6 months and came back and got promoted and took my team, argued that it was dumb if he didn't send me back to Jay bad because I already knew all the human intelligence over there. I started it. And I knew the people. I knew all the players. I knew the mayor. The governor, I know everybody. So if you don't send me back there, you're stupid. And they all said, get out of my office. And then they sent me back to Jabba with my team. So that was great. So we went back to Jay bad. We did that for whatever 8 months. And then I went back one more time. To do a specific human intelligence mission. And I said, I took a team over. I was walking in and one of my Friends was leaving from his team time. I was like, where are you going? And he's like, I'm going to Columbia. It's like to work. He's like, yeah, like a permanent PCS. And I was like, what kind of job is that? It's like you got to be in the 8 and you can work in the embassy as I get my eye on that one. So I did my three years of team starting time and then I applied for that. And I got accepted, but he extended. And then I went back to after just one single position. One single position. And it's really a kingmaker position because no one until the guy that replaced me got there. No one is ever not made sergeant major there. Because you're rated by a colonel and your senior raided by the deputy commander three star. Okay. So as long as you tell them that you're not that's better reading than the commands are major of the group. So it's better than the battalions or majors. For sure, and all that, I think and your companies are majors too. So and I'm getting it as an E 8. So it's really hard to deny that unless you're NCOs are really bad or you had some previous problems or something like that. So everyone before me had made sar major in that position and moved out. And he hadn't picked it up yet. He extended it because he was marrying a girl there. And so that's when I went to Afghanistan the third time. And then when I came back, well, I went to Columbia on the last mission when teams, Colombia, and they sent me back early so I could move to Columbia. So that's what I did. So I took that job over. That was really great challenge. I had a lot of freedom. Everyone trusted me to do what it needed to be done. I was in charge of security for every trip that went there. I had to inspect the base, the airfield, the port, whatever seals are coming, whoever's coming. I had to do those inspections to turn them up to make sure it's all official. And then brief them on new dangers and stuff like that. And then whenever we had huge comfort would come in in some crappy part of the country and I'd have to go in there and coordinate all the security for that and stuff. So we did very cool. Yeah, we did like four or 5 humanitarian missions. And it was like, I had an obstacle. No one had ever done this before. And so I was like, I had an off center, and I had the outer security and it was security. I was doing all this stuff. And I never had any problems while I was there, but I was a heavy ass to the ship was like, why do we need all this shit? Because they were going to Costa Rica and all these other places. And I was like, this is Colombia. It's Colombia. You must protect you. So when you went when you were a station there, did you ever get a chance to go back at the linzer school and yeah. So the thing is, the thing about lenses, so first of all, because I had land cereal, the commander was like, hey, I'm going to go visit all the generals in the south of Columbia. You're coming with me. And so we walk in the room. And he would start talking to because there are buddies because he'd been around a while. He was the army mission chief before. So their buddies. And the whole time he's talking, the guy's looking at my chest, because he's like, put your own Sierra bag on. I was like, okay. And so somewhere in the conversation, he's like, you want to land cereal school? And the stache ism of machism is who went.

"The orange black insider bengals podcasts. Cincy jungle dot com coming at you. I'm on the road at a different venue. That i normally am as you can see kinda from the background here but coming at you to talk about the week two loss it very very odd odd game to say the very least a frustrating game a game of missed opportunities. If you're the cincinnati bengals you have to be sitting there wondering how the heck you lost that game. Rookie quarterback comes into the game. Doesn't play all that well made a couple of plays when it mattered. Most adjusted in fields but For the most part there were opportunities to really grab this game and run away with it and they did not take advantage of it so very very frustrating. The bengals drop went on the road at chicago. Twenty two seventeen a lot of mistakes a lot. I don't know if i don't know if you wanna call it a hangover from the five quarters play last week. I mentioned that on my game preview on since he juggled dot com and a couple of people kind of kind of pooh-poohed the notion. I guess that you know playing an extra quarter may have an effect on this on this team. We've you know we've heard players talked about the short week going into thursday night games. We've heard players talk about all kinds of different things. Eight by the way. Matthew from france high from france matthew. Good gives you look. There were a lot of things in a lot of blame to go around. I know the defense trey. Hendrickson misses the tackle early. But he had it he he was on some plays early onto our. He missed it. I'm sorry he missed the tackle on fields late rather but he had some place earlier in the game. You had sam hubbard in there. A couple of inexplicable penalties Some real real interesting and questionable refereeing in this game. A miss calls a late hit on joe. Borough wasn't called the got it right. The late a play later there was another call. That could have been made on him. A pass interference call on higgins. It should have been called me. Basically everybody's saying that there was a catch. That was ruled a catch for the bears. That a lot of people including dean blandino of fox sports. That shouldn't be a catch. You know the the bottom line is there was a fumble by fields late in the game. Logan wilson who had the late interception to make this game interesting missed not only the scoop and score but just to get the ball and pick it up and fall on the ground. Miss that opportunity And of course you gotta put blame on the quarterback with his three interceptions. A very very weird weird sequence of events for joe borough wearing. He was three straight passes. That were intercepted. And then the next two in a row he throws two touchdowns. It's like what so very very odd game. A lot of issues on the offensive line still still showing up a lot of refereeing issues and the bengals stumbling over their own feet and they lose week to in chicago. Twenty two seventeen leads share this. This is the box score. Courtesy of espn alec to share this kind of as a tale of the tape if you will hear So you look here First downs bengals really on the short end of that one fourteen to sixteen it. This was just a boring boring game until the fourth quarter. I mean you look at this too mean. The defense has a lot of lame. I tweeted this out. The defense a lot of blame in terms of not making those critical place there was another third. In what was it. Third and sixteenth or nineteen a woozy. Mrs tackle that that lets a receiver go by and you know he had a couple of pass breakups late but there's just a lot of different things a lot of different opportunities where you just make some of those plays and you've got yourself a win and that's what's really frustrating. Here you see the passing first downs. Ten to seven bears really went into a shell. When andy dalton left the game with an injury really went into a show went very conservative in relied on. Montgomery montgomery responded. You know he had a lot of tough runs that bengals of tried to corral him and You know he had a lot of tough runs. But you know didn't Still made plays when it counted particularly at the end of the game in the bengals needed a critical stop. You know had that Basically blame game clinching. First down there bengals six twelve fifty percent on third down bears not. They were slightly worse. Six fifteen both teams own over one on fourth down total plays there. I mean the the bears kind of in the first half or hogging the football sixty one to fifty four total plays I mean totally are. It's just not enough yards for either team. You kind of expect that from the bears with a rookie quarterback coming in off the bench to forty eight to six was the total yards Eleven to ten drives four point six yards per play three point four yards per play just ugly offensive showing by both teams nineteen of thirty. I mean four credit the bengals with four sacks some of which were coming up the middle again there was there seemed to be some miscommunication on the middle in terms of picking up linzers. Picking up pressure. Jona williams had at an issue early where he kind of had a quin on the end there. Then quinn moved inside and got off of off of williams and got a sack of borough so bengals got three sacks of their own though. They've got six in the first two games. So they're getting after the quarterback they're getting back they're they're creating plays and i know like i was saying the defense had some issues where they did not come up in these clutch situations. Henderson's gotta make that wrap up and make that tackle on fields. You know wilson's got scoop up that fumble. There's a couple of tackles by defensive backs on third down that they did not make but when you really look at it. The defense on the road really only gave up thirteen points. Seven of those points came on a job..

You have to in mind when I want from either conference, obviously, uh, you know, No, not not at this point. I mean, I You know, the whole prediction game is just Really hard to get to this early, do you? No, No, no. The NFL the NFL dot com had their 16 experts weigh in on it. Because we love lists, and we love polls and and obviously you're exactly right.

And they did it last week in the in the regular, the pre season finale, where they were coming in, like every other play. It wasn't even one guy gets a series or a quarter it was within the series. They were shoveling the guys in and out. And it sounds like that. Kyle Shanahan and John Linzer are fine with keeping defenses on their heels and making them game plan for both, Um they're going to do it looks like they're going to do it starting next week. And of the 16 experts on NFL dot com. I think I've counted what five have the 49 ers facing An NFC team in the Super Bowl. So Trey Lance from what North Dakota State was was that was from south to one of the Dakotas. Um not certainly. Ohio State. But they're finding a way to get him involved immediately and it worked pretty well. And I think it's going to work just fine, moving forward. So Is that going back to the map, Maggie confidence, some play calling. Do you have confidence that that maybe could come up with A way to get Justin Fields out on the field for some snaps some series starting next week against the ramps. Brian, is that where he really excels in in doing, you know, very nonconventional offensive type place. Maybe you know what he has a lot of confidence in himself. Certainly year one because of our defense. Things look good, and we couldn't sustain that. You know, maybe that's where his brilliance is. I'm not sure it seems to me that it's biting off a little more than you can chew. Yeah, you know, as far as as far as us trying to Yeah, I would just like to see Andy Dalton succeed before we even consider something like that to come right out of the gate and do that. I think that's pretty well, that's as a bear's reason. There's a bears fan. You have to hope for that. Right? You have to you have to hope is not Mike Lennon. Two point Oh, that he only last four games and in your tongue. Gwen was making 18 million, telling him Take a seat Andy Dalton in one year $10 million contract. You can't you hope that he is the wily veteran who's not going to make mistakes, maybe not light up the scoreboard. But nowhere to put the ball No one to get rid of the ball. Know what he's looking at with defenses when he gets up to take the snap, you hope for all that, Um, but you know, Matt Nagy was and Ryan pace for both as very variations of the question, basically. This past week of when you know once Justin fields going to be ready, and when will you know it comes back to, uh, we were excited about Justin Fields, but you know, it's all about Andy Dalton and we have faith in and you don't Right. And did they say, uh, I didn't catch the whole thing will know when we know I love that answer than the one guess what everyone in that locker room knows when they know And I think that most of them know right now, who the better quarterback is in terms of potential and tools and everything else. Again. I I want bears fans. 3123323776. Are they the silent majority out there, saying that this is the right blueprint and plan that demand is on the right track here. Because initially, the idea was Justin Fields was not supposed to see the season the field all season, right? I mean, it wasn't a matter of while houses progress. And how is Andy Dalton? Well, did that ever really come to pass where that was mentioned the whole season. I don't recall that. That was well, They said it was they said, was the Patrick Mahomes plan, Right? And what did he do? He sat for the internal season. Yeah, You know why? Because the quarterback in front of him Alex Smith had a career here? Yes. And there was no reason to even have a discussion about pulling out much easier, doesn't it? Yeah, So if you can tell me, Andy Dalton is going to have a career year. Is that his career or anyone's career? Um, you know, maybe you have a different discussion. But it is interesting that could even think within the division. The Packers are still getting some significant consideration to be a Super Bowl team because of the presence of Aaron Rodgers for this his last season up in Green Bay, And if it is, does he have that much more urgency to Put the team on his back and lead them to the promised land. Well, can he do it, though it doesn't seem like he had a lot of support, and I find it interesting. I knew that he would play up there, but I truly do think it's his last year. With Green Bay or last year? No, no, no. With Green Bay is now the jeopardy job is reopened, right? Well, reopening a closed. I mean, they're probably have rotating guess not that I pay attention that much, But there's some trouble over there as well. Hey, just without drama, Brian. Before we get back to our sports conversation. We have your rock, Paul from which is a staple here on Sunday mornings. I'm Yeah, I'm Metallica. Stupid. I am not. You're gonna have to educate me moving forward here, Okay? Not not my cup of tea. Never has been. Um, so I have to vote president on your Twitter poll because Couldn't give you an educated uh alright Financial 30 years ago in in the summer time in the month of August, So we're we're little tardy on this, but in 1991 of music was in rock was pretty big Nirvana's smells like teen spirit came out that was kind of game changer. But right before that it was Metallica's black album, which is celebrating 30 years now when they're doing a big release of the album. Re release of the album, Extra bonus tracks like any artist does, and then they they actually are doing something else in that they're having other artists cover every song on that album as called the Black List, So they're getting, uh, like one of them. I think it's uh Wherever I may roam one of the songs that the poll is being covered by a combination of Elton John and Miley Cyrus. And Yo Yo, Ma. I'm not even kidding. Holy cow! Yes, So it's going to be wild. It's gonna be wild sounded but The Zanna rock poll this week is about the album and enter Sandman is certainly a song that, you know. Brian, even though you may not know it by title That was the big hit, so excluding that from the pole, but otherwise we're asking you what Your favorite song was, aside from Understand man from the black album celebrating 30 years around this time in 1991. The songs are nothing else matters wherever I may roam sad but true..

I had to feel the sadness. Feel the loss. Feel that the negative feelings that i had and so i began a process of some journaling and investigating experiences that happened to me in in residency in and other times and then the next step was to feel that but then to bring it out into the open and i i made a decision to start talking about some of those experiences and and i would talk about him with some of the medical students that i precept and train and some of my other colleagues and then i wrote an article for the medical college of wisconsin the transformation of times that of outlined as some of my difficult experiences in training some of that talked about some three of my friends committed suicide during my training omar. And i i never really you know when i was going through that i kind of was just in the thick of it. I didn't really understand what was happening to me. I kinda just survived day-to-day but i never really unpacked that or understood what was happening process in integrated those feelings and so i started that process and it was very helpful for me. One of my intern friends committed suicide in in the first three weeks that we started a training. Why and i didn't really understand what was happening when the residency director brought us into a room and sort of gave us the talk of like. Hey we care about you. Here's a card with a psychologist ball if you need help. I thought to myself at that time. I didn't really understand what he meant. I. i really didn't think that. Like i could get help. It was just a concept that was out of my like. I didn't think that was possible. And so i kind of just put that out of my mind and said all right. Just do what you have to do. Get on with your busy day. I couldn't process that and then two years later. My chief resident committed suicide oma height. God and i thought you know. I tried to process that too and i thought well. Here's a guy who usually the chief is. Somebody who you think has the answers right. The rider you look up to. Who is like okay. This guy could do it. You know i'm kind of but i could do it. And then that happened. And i just i didn't know it was disorienting and We didn't really talk about it or process and again it was kind of like a push should under the rug and get on with what you gotta do and so those kind of experiences were in the back of my mind and i thought well and then what what i started. Thinking was an kind of scared me a little bit. I started wondering hauer those guys different than me and then my friend alex jerusalem. Which is a med pedes in indiana.

I learned how to be more effective with epic more efficient. One of the things that i learned was an. I didn't realize this. But i kind of became numb to my feelings. My emotions weren't really a safe for me. I learned early on that. I couldn't really have the full range of emotions that and so as a result i felt kind of numb and i didn't understand that i didn't know what to do with that and so i- slowly learned how to understand that more and then learn how to feel and that's been a transformative for me in some cases you basically have to go number. You can't stand what's going on right so you woke your emotions backup. That's a very cool way to describe it. yeah And then what i did over so things improved and then what i did over the past. Couple years is i realized that along that path. What i needed to do was to understand more. What happened to me. Understand why. I didn't really trust anybody. And if i really wanted to feel my emotions than that required me to do some personal investigation and open some of the the black box.

Frankly i think in what i've been calling for is wants to senate votes on this which i'm hoping as you pointed out that it will be Tomorrow at some point that we bring it immediately to the house and vote on it and we get it past you know i. It's it's rare that you get a bipartisan win. That you're able to get across the finish line Especially when you're looking at the filibuster and is is you know you need to get sixty senators in the senate and we have a fifty seat majority to get a piece of legislation passed like this. So what's the the fact that we would do anything to hold up investing in our country as quickly as possible and getting those jobs moving and and and starting to get our roads and our bridges and our rail tunnels built to me makes no sense whatsoever It doesn't mean at all that we also shouldn't immediately start considering A reconciliation package. And you know there's plenty That the president is proposed. That i agree with But as you know we. We haven't seen any specifics yet. No details of of what the bill would look like. So it's a little hard to say you know whether you support or don't support something you haven't seen but the ideas behind it some of the the programs behind it you know an investing in early childhood education is key and doing more on climate Is essential you know i.

It's just a question of the specifics and the levels and that's what many of us believe is. Let's get this win done. This is a huge win for the country. Once in a century why would you hold that up.

You just go just go with it you kind of thing anyway. Dr lindsay australian. How you doing. I am so good. Reo i'm got. I've been just waiting for part to There's so much more. I'm told that it worked out that we did two parts. Maybe yeah so we we left off talking about how. It's it's pretty atrocious. That these scales that they're using to measure their main variables political correctness liberalism political correctness authoritarianism and white identity -tarian ism were not validated. And one of the things that i was. Criticizing is like you know it's. It's there's a traditional measure of political ideology where people just rate on a single continuum like where they are between very liberal and very conservative hotter. Not oh no okay. Yeah that well that too and so i have a. It's not exactly a correction but it's a bit of a concession and there was a surprise negative information this green. So i think i mentioned last time that the same two authors jordan and peter o'connor they published a second article in two thousand twenty that also included these three measures and they were looking at at some relationships with like personality and some other traits and i went back to that article to check something else and realized that they did include a traditional measure of political attitudes and that study so they had a measure that was like a five point scale on one end said liberal on the other end of the conservative would place themselves on that scale so they did include it but then i read what they did with that measure and they didn't use it validate the scales. What yeah all they did was report. that this traditional measure political ideology was normally distributed and they reported the percentage of people that rated themselves exactly in the middle as moderates. But that's all they reported however great. I'm so excited. So the publish this other article in plus one and it's standard practice for them to provide their data set publicly in that journal So i downloaded data set and so yeah and iran iran just some simple correlations with ideology measure and these measures in the. Hi how it all holds up. Yeah so first of all. The ideology measure does not correlate with authoritarian measure. And once we go over what the items after. Remind me what that means. Yeah they they say that. That's like you know. Sort of an authoritarian. Left-wing extremism right. So you know really concerned about causing offense to others in a but they think that like aggression and force makes sense as ways to sort of enforce those values. That's what they say it's measuring but we're going to talk about the scale items in a second. You'll see why that doesn't correlate. So ideology doesn't correlate with with the pc authoritarianism it correlates very weakly with the pc liberalism. Scale which again. They call that an extreme left-wing attitude. But it's not authoritarian concerned with the same things. But not with the gresh enforce so it's weekly correlated with ideology in that direction. You you would expect so people who say that. They're more liberal score higher on the all. The strongest correlation is between the traditional ideology mother and white identity. Right so those. Two things are correlated that people who are call themselves more conservative are also higher on that white identity. -tarian isn't docker. I know right. So at least i mean this is. This is one piece of the validation that needs to be done right which they haven't done and this is suggesting that lake. Those pc measures probably aren't measuring quite what they say. They are probably would've like released it and done this right right. I mean people's homework for them since nineteen ninety something. I don't know okay. And i've got one more thing to tell you. This is nuts. The pc authoritarian measure authoritarianism measure which is supposed to be a measure of left wing extremism and their white identity as a measure are positively correlated with one another So people who are on the authoritarianism are also higher on white identity. And that's interesting. Yeah what was the culprit. There's that that the p. c. authoritarian measure was. Just be like those questions were bad or yeah yeah i mean let's let's get into it the you come back to that correlation at the end. Because i'm not sure what it means. It's very hard to interpret it because this and we know you already told us that the white identity correlated with being conservative more so like Does that mean that the p. c. Authoritarian thing they thought they were capturing is capturing something more conservative if it's capturing anything that has to do with ideology it probably is like. I have my doubts as to whether the score is really interpreted wall just because of how bad the scale. Yeah i can imagine. It's pretty easy if you're trying to do data science stuff like this and polling and whatever to just bungalow like breezy. If you don't ask the right questions and if you kinda grab the wrong data just be like oh. This is a mess. This isn't going to do anything Yeah exactly unless you're maybe you know trained scientist but yeah yeah right. Which supposedly these people don't know. Yeah i don't know it's not in.

Family Planning
"Dr Marcus okay cool, so our our topic today is family planning, and I know we've had at least one episode in the past about birth control, but this is really like a broader topic about how to approach family planning more generally like the decision making process at how many kids to have when to be birth control. How how the decision about being on birth control gets made so I actually wanted to start off with the issue of how the decision to go on birth control gets made because I was always taught coming from a more centrist Orthodox perspective that before you birth control. You have to ask a Shyla. To sort of have this like Consultation with your rabbi, and like get permission to go on birth control so rabbi Linzer What what are some lucky considerations behind that like? Why is that sort of popular conception right? A lot of misconceptions so family planning is really the question of view right? There's amidst flat to have children and There's debate. How many is the two boys or and a girl? We will to boy and a girl. And then there's an idea to have even more after you have a boy and a girl so in a certain level. It makes sense that there would be a healthy question which is if you want to frame it in terms can. I postponed doing this? Mitzvah how many kids my supposed to have and but you know it is worth saying that these are very recent questions because the whole concept of family planning you know only became really possible. Once there was the pill once it was highly effective. Means of birth control other than that for that people tried i. I mean there were early forms of the condiments so on, but the re the real ability to more precisely control. How many kids are going to happen when you're going to have them really is a very recent phenomenon. Is that not true now? It's one hundred percent tro and I was sort of stuck as we were thinking about doing this. I was thinking back so I got married. I don't know thirty six years ago long time ago over. and. And you know good religious couple. When I got married, we went to that person who's going to be on my side of condition. We asked him if we could use birth control. And he said he asked me give us like a hitter for year years I don't remember, and then we supposed to come back and ask again and. I by the time that year was over, it had hit me that it was so ridiculous that we were asking somebody else. If we should be having kids way and now thirty six years later and I think a lot has changed about this. The idea that somebody else would be able to have the. AUTHORITY TO OUR GAB or like to try to get into your head under sound like where you guys are at, and whether or not appropriate. If you'd have kids is is a little bit mind boggling to be and I'm just where the come like. Why do people feel that? They had to ask like where did that even come from his idea that you had? Had to ask you like I, mean I'm not a historian, so I don't know how exactly evolved, but I will say if you moved from a time when the idea was your, you naturally have kids, and you have as many kids as you're naturally going to produce, and you know the camera says that it's anybody who does not involve themselves in poor view. Procreation is if they took a life. Because you know, it's preventing life from coming into the world, so because a lot of weight that's put on that, and then you realize. Oh, my Gosh Now! I have the ability to control it so I think that naturally leads to a sense of like. Wait a minute. Is this permissible or now? So it was an area helicopter started to change the same way like I've changed and raised. A whole bunch of questions raised a whole bunch of West. Yes, exactly that accept the new reality coming Iraq. Like pushing hard to to address these questions, except I'll tell you what why I think this is a weirder thing is because. It almost was the ideas like. Are we allowed to have sex without having a baby? Right like that was the question. Young couples were asking exactly like. They weren't having sex before they were married. least theoretically, they weren't having sex, and but now is it. Is it okay for us to have sex, but not have obeyed right, so it's really a question about sex. It's not a question of prue SORTA. That's exactly what's happening. I don't know if that's initially why the question was asked you know. I have a

FDA Tightening Regulatory Requirements For Some Medical Devices
"Support for this podcast and the following message come from almond board of California almond farmers rely on healthy honeybees. So they funded more than a hundred research projects supporting be health more than any other crop group grow. What you know at almondsustainability dot org. The food and Drug administration is being forced to intensify. Scrutiny of medical implants. Now when you hear the word implants, it's easy to think of cosmetic surgery, but the word here includes a growing number of potentially lifesaving devices, the doctors place inside the patients, the problem is many of the devices have been breaking down like farm member station. WPN in Nashville reports on the effort to address that. There's no doubt that surgically implanted devices improve lives drug pumps, nerve stimulators, spinal rods. But the devices can also do serious damage like they have to Michel keel. It ruined my. Yes, it did. I'm sending near tears keel had. Problems with the leaky bladder. So a surgeon stitched a flexible mess strap insider pelvis, but the strap hardened and started cutting her insides the pain kept her from turning to her job in Michigan. As a hairdresser removing all the bits and pieces embedded in the scar tissue is required, multiple surgeries and resulted in chronic infections, kill can see why her doctor thought the high tech mesh would help. But she also now feels like she was a Guinea pig. We were the Chester's. There was no animal testing done. We were the animals for devices in which a failure could obviously be life. Threatening regulators have required some sort of human testing. But medical author Jeannie Linzer says the FDA now acknowledges that even some seemingly inert devices have caused major problems. So we have things like metal on metal hip, which outside the human body seemed to function just fine. They put them in little machines. They Rackham back and forth. They don't break. They put them inside people and something very different happens. Linzer just wrote a scathing book about the device industry and says she was dumbfounded to find out. How many devices never went through human testing like drugs? Do that's in part due to an expedited approval process known as five ten k it allows manufacturers to bypass many requirements by showing their product is very similar to something already in use. You just say your devices like an old device, and the device was never tested nor with your device in practice. Sometimes the basis for a whole family tree of devices turns out to be defective pelvic mashes a good example and a product for which the FDA has started requiring some human testing. But manufacturers have pushed back against calls to bring regulation of medical devices in line with medication Scott Whitaker of add them. It speaks for industry. Giants like striker Johnson and Johnson and mid Tron IQ testing should be as complete Hannah's thorough and his ethical and as appropriate as possible. But it doesn't all fit the same. And can't off it the same standard, not every surgery to treat the same condition goes exactly the same way every time the FDA declined to be interviewed for this story, but plans to make changes to the process over the next few months. The is pushing back on manufacturers basing any new device on one that's more than ten years old and regulators say they'll do a better job of watching. How devices do once they're on the market rather than relying on patients to report problems? Michael Metheny, a professor who tracks medical devices at Vanderbilt University approves of the FDA's incremental approach and calls thoughtful, he says he wouldn't want the changes to spark hysteria over device failures. It would really be unfortunate. If patients wouldn't consider any medical devices at all to be used in their bodies. But I do think being aware that there's nothing without risk is also important McCain notes, though that in some ways the risks are more profound than with medication if the FDA recalls pills. A patient can at least stop taking them immediately with a device, they're sort of stuck with it at least for a while. And that's if a surgeon can even safely remove it for NPR news.
