    Progress is a Long Game

    (Originally aired 5/06/25) What sparks progress? The right political conditions? Social pressure? Economic upheaval? In response to two listeners’ questions, we say… both none of those and all of the above. As an example, we talk through just one bit of the New Deal in the 1930s, which was the law to limit child labor. That movement started decades earlier, and continued decades afterward. For those keeping score at home, this a sneaky third installment of Kathryn’s 68-part series on the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.  Chapters:  00:01:08 Announcements 00:01:43 Retcon 00:03:58 Terms & Conditions 00:07:03 Centerpiece 00:42:56 Executive Orders 00:46:25 Spiritual Sponsors Donate to Optimist Economy: https://optimisteconomy.com Follow us on Instagram at ⁠⁠@optimist_economy or TikTok at ⁠⁠@optimist_economy.

    The Ceasefire That Wasn’t

    This week on American Power, host Nat Towsen is joined by military strategist Chad Scott and energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) to break down the growing chaos in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Chad explains why America may already be operating outside the limits of the War Powers Act, how the blockade itself qualifies as an act of war, and why Iran’s strategy is to defeat the U.S.by exhausting it economically and politically. Matt walks through what could become the next major shock to Americans at home: collapsing gasoline and diesel inventories, record exports, and a supply crunch that could send gas prices soaring even if oil prices stabilize.  We’re always looking for new opportunities to partner with creators, companies, politicians, and organizations that share our mission.

    The Hormuz Hotline: Eddie Fishman

    Michael is joined by Eddie Fishman, Director of the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomics at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former State Department sanctions expert, to discuss the Trump administration's shift toward a "last-ditch" diplomatic and geoeconomic effort to resolve the Iran conflict. Eddie evaluates the effectiveness of the US Navy's new "guiding" mission in the Strait of Hormuz and whether a peaceful reopening of the waterway is actually scalable. Eddie also discusses the financial lifelines to Iran from continued trade through the Strait and the alternative oil exports the country is attempting, along with the ongoing impact on Europe and Asia.

    Observation Eight – Churning The Critical Minerals Without The Midas Touch

    As critical minerals move deeper into discussions around industrial security and domestic capability, refining is increasingly positioned at the center of the conversation. Yet behind the urgency surrounding capacity expansion lies a quieter and more complex tension — one that extends beyond production itself. This episode explores the structural realities shaping modern refining systems, and the questions that emerge when strategic expectations begin to collide with the conditions under which capacity is actually built.

    Алгоритмы, эмоции и лайки: как распространяются фейки в соцсетях

    Фейки убивают – и это не метафора. Ложная информация может приводить к распространению заболеваний и смертям, показал опыт пандемии ковида. В эпоху соцсетей информация распространяется «со скоростью интернета» и может быстро превратиться в оружие массового поражения. Но почему люди так легко покупаются на ложь и охотно делятся информацией, даже не проверив ее? Об этом «Экономике на слух» рассказывает профессор Университета Западной Австралии и выпускница РЭШ Валерия Бодиштяну. Она объясняет, какие эмоции вызывают фейки и как на восприятие информации влияют лайки. Показывает, как в соцсетях взмах крыла бабочки приводит к урагану. Объясняет, какие механизмы эффективны в борьбе с размножением фейков, и рассуждает о том, помогут или навредят чат-боты. Таймкоды: 1:54 – Вред от мисинформации и дезинформации резко растет в кризисных ситуациях 3:00 – В соцсетях есть суперраспространители фейков. Взмах крыла бабочки приводит к урагану 4:35 – Как мисинформация помогала ковиду убивать 9:25 – У людей появился четкий экономический стимул распространять (мис)информацию 10:04 – Алгоритмы дают человеку те новости, которые больше всего на него повлияют 10:43 – Ложь полмира обойдет, пока правда тапки наденет? 11:39 – Почему люди предпочитают распространять фейковую информацию чаще, чем правдивую 12:45 – Какие эмоции вызывают фейки 13:53 – Фейки – это больше про негатив? 15:45 – Новость про цунами взбудоражит меньше, чем критика политика, который не обеспечил защиту от цунами 18:00 – Мы получаем информацию от твитер-пользователя № 100, который сразу говорит, что мы должны чувствовать, читая эту новость 18:31 – Как на восприятие информации влияют лайки 20:45 – Всего лишь одна статья врача Эндрю Уэйкфилда привела к вспышкам заболеваний у детей 21:58 – Трудно поверить в вакцину 25:41 – Почему люди не хотят проверять информацию 26:39 – Люди с высокими аналитическими способностями более склонны верить отдельным фейковым новостям 26:59 – Мы хотим верить в то, во что уже верим, и боимся оказаться неправыми 28:36 – Молодое поколение меньше доверяет газетам и больше – инфлюэнсерам 29:43 – И все больше люди начинают доверять чат-ботам 30:27 – ИИ поможет бороться с фейками или наоборот? 33:25 – Очень легко ввести ИИ в заблуждение «пустотой данных» 35:15 – ИИ не окрашивает информацию яркими эмоциями, но добавляет яркие выводы 36:32 – ИИ трудно дается ответ «я не знаю» 37:20 – Эксперимент: можно просто кликнуть и узнать правду. Люди кликали? 41:57 – Что действительно побуждает людей проверять информацию 43:33 – Заинтересованы ли соцсети в том, чтобы было меньше фейков? 45:09 – Что делают Илон Маск и Марк Цукерберг, чтобы бороться с дезой и радикальным контентом 48:57 – Становится ли больше фейков: как меняется предложение и спрос 51:11 – Совет: как не стать распространителем дезы 51:55 – Заинтересовано ли государство в борьбе с фейками на самом деле Facebook принадлежит компании Meta, признанной экстремистской организацией и запрещенной в РФ.
