Are escalating geopolitical tensions hurtling humanity towards World War III? Dr. Sarah Paine highlights the historical roots of geopolitical conflicts and demonstrates how shifting away from a rules-based maritime order guarantees economic collapse.

Dr. Sarah Paine is a renowned geopolitical strategist, historian, and retired professor from the U.S. Naval War College, specializing in Russian and Chinese imperial history and maritime strategy. She applies historical models such as the Peloponnesian War and World War II to decode the actions of leaders like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

*In this episode, she explains:*
■ *The Maritime vs. Continental Divide:* How the world is split between maritime powers compounding wealth through free trade and continental empires burning wealth through territorial conquest.
■ *The Cost of Isolationism:* Why sudden, aggressive tariffs and the abandonment of key international alliances rapidly accelerate inflation, shrink global influence, and destabilize the U.S. economy.
■ *The Death Ground Principle:* How threatening an adversary’s very existence removes all their strategic alternatives, transforming struggling nations into highly lethal, unyielding military opponents.
■ *The Illusion of Dictatorial Stability:* Why the lack of a peaceful transition of power in dictatorships guarantees that the death of a leader like Putin will trigger profound, unpredictable instability and violent internal power struggles.
■ *The Power of Negative Objectives:* Why a government’s most vital job goes completely unnoticed, focusing on preventing catastrophic disasters before they happen rather than chasing highly publicized achievements.

This is basically a 1 day product ownership course compressed into 15 minute animated presentation. There’s obviously more to product ownership than this, so see this is a high level summary.

PS: The intro & outtro song is just me jamming in my home studio. I bought a cool half-acoustic guitar a few months ago and was looking for an excuse to make use of it :o)

Tools used: Artrage (drawing program), Wacom Intuos 5 (drawing tablet), Screenflow (screen & audio capture).

What happens when coding is no longer the bottleneck in product development?

This video is a demo of how we use AI agents internally at Abundly – both for coding, backlog management and release management. It’s a system of AI agents & human engineers working together, building on each other’s strengths. This not only enables us to release a new version of our platform every day, but also makes the work really fun, since we can focus on the higher level stuff (design/architecture/ux) and ship value every day.

For each agent I demonstrate what they do, what value they provide, and what we learned when making them.

• Cursor: writes most of the code
• Backlogger: turns messy Slack threads into clean, well-structured Notion tickets
• Releaser: manages our daily release process end-to-end: PRs, release notes, changelog, announcements
• Grace: a higher-level „colleague“ agent that handles stakeholder requests from Slack all the way to pull request, coordinating with Cursor and the other agents

This is of course only a snapshot in time – we are continuously learning and experimenting with how to use agents effectively, while still staying in control of architecture and quality.

Would you like to make a voice translation? ElevenLabs can do really voice translation which even sounds like me 🙂
You can also do a manual dub with your own voice if you prefer. Whatever works best.
1. Check out https://bit.ly/44Syf3s
2. Make the video & upload it to youtube or somewhere.
3. Make sure the description shows that this is an AI translation, and include a link to the original video.
4. Send a link to me (for example via a comment) and I’ll add it above.

You can decide if you want to host it on your youtube channel or if I should host it.

If you have practical questions you can ask Stefan Kirschnick, he made the German dub and is happy to provide support. https://bit.ly/3RHd8xM

Digital products and services keep getting worse. In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide.

Read more on: https://bit.ly/4rIF1CE

The Norwegian Consumer Council is an independent, governmentally funded organisation that advocates for consumer’s rights. It should be easy for consumers to make sustainable choices every day. Consumers have the right to be protected against exploitation – both financially and digitally. To ensure this, we work to provide easy access to information, enforceable rights, and sufficient redress options when something goes wrong.

Over the past four years, I have not only been able to complete the shell of my model railway layout, but also really get started on the landscaping. Countless scenes and details have been created around the new station, breathing more and more life into the layout. The road system with the moving CarMotion vehicles has also been further expanded, bringing even more movement to the layout. Enjoy watching!

Er ist einer der meistgewünschten und umstrittensten Gäste, die ich je hatte: Dr. Daniele Ganser – Historiker, Friedensforscher und einer der schärfsten Kritiker westlicher Machtpolitik.
Während Politiker von Demokratie sprechen, zeigt er, was wirklich dahintersteckt: verdeckte Operationen, Geheimarmeen, gezielte Manipulation durch Medien und Narrative, die Kriege rechtfertigen sollen.
„Wir sind nicht aufgeklärt, wir sind dogmatisch“, sagt Daniele – und meint: Wer kritische Fragen stellt, wird sehr schnell zum Feind erklärt.
In diesem Podcast-Gespräch spricht Daniele über:
– Die verborgenen Interessen hinter dem Ukrainekrieg
– Wie Geheimdienste Einfluss auf Medien und Öffentlichkeit nehmen
– Warum Deutschland kein souveräner Staat ist
– Und warum er keine Angst hat – obwohl Geheimdienstleute in seinen Vorträgen sitzen.
Ein Gespräch über Mut, Macht und Manipulation – und über die Frage, ob wir wirklich in einer Demokratie leben.

KAPITEL
00:00:00 – Intro
00:01:17 – Wie Geheimdienste arbeiten
00:58:15 – Wer sind wirklich DIE Bösen?
01:45:52 – Der verwirrte Westen
02:17:53 – Frieden & Freundschaft mit Russland?
02:35:25 – Die Interessen hinter dem Ukraine-Krieg
02:50:59 – Wir müssen Veränderung einfordern

My guest this week believes that how you feel right now is directly linked to your blood-sugar level. And if you want to feel better than you do right now, you don’t necessarily need to change what you eat – just how.

CAUTION: The advice in this episode may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder. If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before making changes to your diet.
