Tim Wu, the scholar who coined "net neutrality," examines how big tech platforms have reshaped our economy. In his latest book, *The Age of Extraction*, Wu argues that the internet, once seen as a source of widespread wealth and democracy, has instead created new economic classes and fostered autocracy. He proposes solutions to harness technology for the greater good and build a more balanced economy.

Join Tim Wu, author of *The Age of Extraction*, and journalist Laura Sydell on November 10, 2025, to discuss reclaiming economic control. This program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund and partnered with the Center for Humane Technology.

The National Turtle Lodge Elders’ and Knowledge Keepers’ Council calls for a National Day of Prayer on Sunday, June 6, 2021, at various times across Canada. This collective prayer responds to the tragic discovery of 215 children at a Kamloops residential school, honoring all affected by the residential school system.

Elders and Knowledge Keepers will lead ceremonies, lifting Sacred Pipes and lighting Sacred Fires, praying in Original Languages. Their aim is healing, fostering a new relationship based on love and kindness, and supporting today's children through ancestral ways.

All are invited to join this Sunday by participating in their own traditions. A special gathering at Turtle Lodge in July will seek further spiritual guidance for the country's path forward.

The "Good Enough" AI Trap argues that as AI advances, humans risk "super stupidity" through cognitive outsourcing. Upcoming models like GPT 5.3 Codex and Opus 4.6, while cheap, human-like, and confident, are often untrustworthy without human context, potentially eliminating many routine white-collar tasks.

Studies already show reduced knowledge retention and critical thinking decline, warning of "knowledge collapse" and over-reliance on systems we don't understand. A human resistance is vital: struggle first, use AI for questions, avoid copy-paste, and protect embodied human intelligence. Watch the full discussion here.
