Ep 6 The Battles of Kohima is out now! This week of TFWP Rob & Jack introduce listeners to that iconic battle (or two battles!) in the mountains of Nagaland, north-western India.
From the epic siege to more arguing commanders, and the battle of the tennis court, this one is not to be missed!

Why are rising bond yields rattling Rachel Reeves?
The chancellor has created something of a triple lock for herself: a primary commitment not to break her fiscal rules, but also not to further increase taxes, and no return to austerity.

The far-right is willing to call out the status quo and the centrist liberals are not, which is part of why the far-right won in the US (despite the fact that they work with / are the very “globalist elites” that they decry)
"When this possibility is too easily dismissed as an improbability – particularly by their political opponents – it gives credence to the notion they present to the public: that their more radical political solutions are necessary to break the status quo"

Technology is useful for end-to-end solutions, but policies and funding models need to be FULLY end-to-end too. The end is not just the end of a company’s product delivery otherwise private equity will still win more benefit than the public good will @eitoxford.bsky.social #r4today #RedaMark

I often think about this: younger people in the US and other wealthy nations are far more likely to have a zero-sum mindset—the idea that someone’s gain means a loss for others—compared to older generations. From our paper on zero-sum thinking (full 🧵 x.com/S_Stantcheva...)
