Knowledge Production Across Empires

How can art complicate claims of progress, innovation and the use of rapidly developing emerging technologies in MENA? In this episode, Cima Chehab speaks to visual artist Nadim Choufi about how he incorporates technology into his artwork both as subject matter and as medium.

In the conversation, they discuss Nadim’s own artistic practice, his use of “lecture performances” and the question of whether life is truly enhanced by progress and technology, which is one of the main questions that underpins his work. Nadim also explores emerging art in the Middle East and how technology has transformed a new generation of artists – from digital illustrations to meme accounts.

Nadim is a visual artist living in Beirut. He primarily focuses on the material histories and futures of innovation and desire, their social and political driving forces, and the visual and literary practices that surround them. He is a 2024 resident at the Jan van Eyck Academy. Currently he is the curator of the film programme of the 2024 festival edition of transmediale and a researcher at Haven For Artists. Previously he was co-Programs Director at Beirut Art Center.

Art Meaning and Art Making with Nadim Choufi

Francis Hunt discusses the coming economic collapse and reset which will create a neo-feudal system. It's the statists versus the citizens, not nations versus nations. A surveillance finance grid is being set up where you'll be tracked, traced, and punished for social crimes while assets will be tokenized. It's important to have optionality which means internationalizing, moving to another country, and figuring out your best tax structure. The dollar will have a blow-off spike as part of a death knell. There is a floating zeppelin (e.g. BlackRock, Vanguard, Oligarchic Tech, Military-Industrial-Complex) that moves from nation to nation extracting wealth. Despite the grim situation, people can take the bull by the horns and position themselves well for opportunity.

About Francis Hunt
Francis is a trader, first and foremost. Unlike most educators in the trading space, Francis walks the walk and talks the talk, with 30 years of experience in trading his own capital on various markets and instruments. Through this passion for trading and his relentless study of markets, theories and everything related to trading, he derived for his own benefit, the Hunt Volatility Funnel trading methodology, a systemized approach that answers the key question – what is the next most profitable trade?

Because the actual price of an asset is the truest reflection of all the factors that influence it, Francis believes that effective technical analysis – the study of price action over time – is all that is needed to formulate result-driven trade ideas.

Indeed, with all the market manipulation and high-frequency trading operations currently in play, technical analysis is all that can be relied upon when it comes to formulating future price trends. A trained eye can often spot such manipulative practices – as is the case with HVF traders. The HVF methodology is therefore based purely on technical analysis with the fundamental reasons often following to justify a price move rather than pre-emptively explaining it.

Francis is passionate about sharing his knowledge and understanding of markets through the utilization of his HVF trading methodology. With entertaining anecdotes and careful guidance of his students, he has already trained a large community of hundreds of traders, and helped them transform from complete newbies to seasoned trading professionals.

But why teach? Why not keep this method to himself? Francis genuinely loves sharing his knowledge and method with others who are committed to finding freedom through trading. Plus, by teaching,  it strengthens his own trading abilities while building a vibrant community of highly successful HVF traders who share their trade ideas for the benefit of the entire community.

If you see value in these principles and you would like to find out how the HVF Method can aid your trading and investing efforts, we invite you to book a call to get started.

Francis Hunt: Surviving the Coming Neo-Feudal Reset & Surveillance Finance Grid #449

Paul F. Austin discusses the history of psychedelics and how we are now on the "third wave" of integral psychedelic use. The third wave coincides with the information age and perfectly maps on to what futurists like Alvin Toffler were forecasting. He delves into the history touching on key figures such as Stewart Brand, Ken Kesey and MKULTRA, Steve Jobs, James Fadiman, and how in the 1970s it was declared that the personal computer was the new LSD. Psychedelics provide you with a feeling of interconnectivity. Microdosing came around about a decade ago and have various health benefits. Finally, he comments on the legalization of psychedelics and the spiritual dimension.

"Drops it off to Henshaw!" - Ireland Beat The All-Blacks

“Boys are emotionally illiterate and don’t want intimate friendships.” In this empirically grounded challenge to our stereotypes about boys and men, Niobe Way reveals the intense intimacy among teenage boys especially during early and middle adolescence. Boys not only share their deepest secrets and feelings with their closest male friends, they claim that without them they would go “wacko.” Yet as boys become men, they become distrustful, lose these friendships, and feel isolated and alone.

Drawing from hundreds of interviews conducted throughout adolescence with black, Latino, white, and Asian American boys, Deep Secrets reveals the ways in which we have been telling ourselves a false story about boys, friendships, and human nature.

Research has shown that Loving Kindness meditations can boost social closeness and implicit liking of strangers (Hutcherson et al. (2008). While this is a laboratory study, the results suggest this simple technique may help increase positive social emotions and decrease social isolation.

Try Dry Podcast 4 With Clare Pooley

Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, is on a mission to get more young women into computer science. She says the problem isn't lack of interest. Her non-profit organization has trained thousands of girls to code, and the ranks of female science and engineering graduates continue to grow. And yet men still dominate the tech industry. Saujani believes companies can certainly do more to promote diversity. But she also wants girls and women to stop letting perfectionism hold them back from volunteering for the most challenging tasks and jobs. She is the author of the book "Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder."

Trending Europe Episode #2 -Mairéad McGuinness and the European Parliament Elections

By now, we all know out Olympic bronze medalist Adam Rippon is witty, smart, inspirational, and utterly sassy. He is, after all, 'America's sweetheart.'

As the oldest rookie to qualify for the Olympics at 28-years-old, and the first openly gay American figure skater to compete at the Olympics, his path to success has been groundbreaking, although it hasn’t been without setbacks.

In his new memoir, 'Beautiful On The Outside,' Rippon hilariously reveals what it’s like to be an elite figure skater - from the glitz of sequined costumes to the unglamorous act of cleaning bugs off the ice at a competition, and all the hours of practice that led him to a spot on the Olympic team in Pyeongchang.

Your mom probably told you it's what on the inside that counts. Well, then she was never a competitive figure skater.

Rippon has been making it pretty for the judges even when, just below the surface, everything was an absolute mess. Traveling to practices on a Greyhound bus next to ex-convicts, being so poor he could only afford to eat the free apples at his gym, Rippon got through the toughest times with a smile on his face, a glint in his eye, and quip ready for anyone listening.

'Beautiful On The Outside' looks at his journey from a homeschooled kid in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to a self-professed American sweetheart on the world stage and all the disasters and self-delusions it took to get him there.

Sure, it may be what's on the inside that counts, but life is so much better when it's beautiful on the outside.
