    #225 - Baroness Susan Greenfield - A Neuroscientist's Warning About AI & Children
    2026/10/30
    Have smartphones been a terrible mistake? Are social media and artificial intelligence changing the way our children think, learn and develop? And what happens to humanity when technology removes the need to struggle, imagine and think for ourselves? In this episode Baroness Susan Greenfield, Oxford neuroscientist and member of the House of Lords, explains the impact of digital technology on the human brain. We discuss smartphone addiction, declining attention, the mental health of young people, the importance of resilience, and whether our education system is preparing children for a future that no longer exists.We also explore what makes us human, the pursuit of happiness, the importance of imagination, and how to build a better world for the next generation. Susan also shares her deeply personal experience of her mother's Alzheimer's disease and the experimental research she is leading into early diagnosis and potential treatments. Finally, they confront political polarisation, the failings of modern democracy and the responsibilities we have to future generations. At its heart, this is a conversation about whether technological progress is genuinely improving our lives, or whether we're sacrificing the very things that make life worth living.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - They Chose Electric Shocks Instead00:03:22 - Struggle Shaped Us00:05:55 - The Pony She Had To Wait For00:11:23 - Was The Smartphone A Mistake?00:15:48 - Outsourcing Your Thoughts00:19:45 - Deliberately Addictive00:20:59 - Should AI Images Be Labelled?00:26:20 - The Girl Who Used AI To Get An A00:29:20 - Educating For A World That Doesn't Exist00:31:48 - Wine, Women And Song00:37:04 - Where The Partying Ended00:40:29 - Play, Creativity And The Phone00:41:32 - The Mental Health Crisis00:46:25 - If I Ruled The World00:50:35 - You Need Linear Activities00:57:15 - AI Has To Be A Tool01:05:46 - How You Build An Out-Group01:07:44 - The Alzheimer's Work01:17:35 - Three To Five Years01:27:26 - Our Debt Matters More Than Your Education- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH SUSAN GREENFIELD› Website – https://susangreenfield.com/› Neuro-Bio – https://www.neuro-bio.com/› Mind Change – https://susangreenfield.com/books/SPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Quo – https://quo.com/pete› Arch Public – https://archpublic.com/peter› Venice AI – https://venice.ai/lp/mccormack/oct30- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

  • #224 - Frank Wright - The Debt Trap: Inflation, Falling Living Standards & Our Children’s Future

    #224 - Frank Wright - The Debt Trap: Inflation, Falling Living Standards & Our Children’s Future
    2026/10/27
    Why does working harder no longer feel like getting ahead? Frank Wright returns to discuss Britain’s debt-driven economy, inflation and the squeeze on living standards. We explore his argument that financial power has become detached from productive wealth, while households face rising costs and the next generation inherits the bill.We discuss central banking, the offshoring of industry, housing costs and student debt, before turning to what rebuilding Britain would involve: cheaper energy, domestic production, skilled work and a long-term national strategy.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Everything That Destroys You Is A Business Model00:01:14 - Migration As An Industry00:11:21 - Debt Servitude00:13:35 - The Creation Of The Federal Reserve00:19:19 - Just A Podcaster And A Banjo Player00:25:00 - A Curated, Locked Discourse00:28:53 - Replacing Real Wealth With Debt00:35:54 - What Happened To Castle Road00:38:56 - The Post His Son Showed Him00:42:23 - A Society That Lives On Debt00:45:01 - Can We Vote Our Way Out?00:51:07 - A Declaration Of Independence Moment?00:54:18 - Where Is The Money Actually Going?00:57:03 - Work Is Joyless01:07:20 - The Coming Financial Crisis01:09:35 - There Is No First Class Anymore01:19:14 - The Family Is The Engine01:39:17 - I Can't Promise My Children What I Had01:48:39 - The Restaurant Test01:52:55 - Could You Be Wrong?- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH FRANK WRIGHT› X/Twitter – https://x.com/frankwrighterSPONSORS› Venice AI – https://venice.ai/lp/mccormack/oct27- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

    #223 - Sir David Spiegelhalter - "I Immediately Distrust Every Number In The News"
    2026/10/22
    Sir David Spiegelhalter is one of the world’s leading statisticians, Chair of the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at Cambridge University and author of The Art of Uncertainty. Having served on public inquiries into mass murder (Harold Shipman) and systemic healthcare failures, he has spent decades analysing how data is used - and misused - in society.In this episode, Sir David breaks down the mechanics of numerical manipulation in media, why "objective truth" is a flawed concept and how we can protect ourselves from confirmation bias. We discuss:•⁠ ⁠Why you should immediately distrust any statistic you hear in the news.•⁠ ⁠⁠How mathematical algorithms helped catch Britain’s most prolific serial killer. •⁠ ⁠⁠How simple linguistic tricks make identical statistics sound terrifying or reassuring. •⁠ ⁠⁠The breakdown of public trust during COVID-19 and the error of simplistic messaging. •⁠ ⁠⁠"Hedgehogs vs. Foxes": The mental framework that separates terrible forecasters from super-forecasters. •⁠ ⁠⁠The rise of AI "black boxes" in healthcare, weather, and business forecasting. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - I Can Make Any Number Look Frightening00:03:08 - The System That Could Have Caught Shipman00:06:45 - Can You Mislead People With The Truth?00:09:54 - Your Own Bias Does The Work00:15:33 - Sitting In The Middle Of The COVID Argument00:17:52 - What The Public Got Wrong About Vaccines00:19:37 - Safe And Effective Was The Wrong Message00:20:56 - The Experiment On A Thousand People00:25:00 - What The Data Says About Lockdowns00:30:25 - The Government Threw Its Weight Around00:31:02 - I Cannot Forgive The Fear Mongering00:34:08 - Children Have Never Been Safer00:36:28 - Trustworthy, Not Trusted00:37:34 - How The Productivity Figures Went Wrong00:41:28 - Predicting The Crowd At Real Bedford00:48:20 - Will AI Replace Statisticians?00:50:03 - Musk's 20% Chance01:01:39 - The Model That Predicts When You Die01:05:05 - What AI Did To Mathematicians01:15:00 - Hedgehogs And Foxes- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH DAVID SPIEGELHALTER› Website – https://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~david/› The Art of Uncertainty – https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/447230/the-art-of-uncertainty-by-spiegelhalter-david/9780241658628› X/Twitter – https://x.com/d_spiegelSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Quo – https://quo.com/pete- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
