Demographic futurist Bradley Schurman joins us to explore a future where over-65s outnumber under-18s — and the changes society will have to face. Subscribe to the podcast: http://jordanharbinger.com/subscribe Full show notes can be found here: https://jordanharbinger.com/859 What We Discuss with Bradley: 0:00 - Demographics are a time bomb 21:22 - Russia will shatter 35:51 - America and immigration 43:27 - The US can weaponize demographic decline 53:03 - China's decline 1:04:04 - China admitting their population shrink 1:16:49 - China absorbing Taiwan won't save their population 1:23:58 - What will happen to China if their population shrinks too much The Super Age, coined by demographic futurist Bradley Schurman — author of The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny — is a future fast approaching: where those over 65 will outnumber our youth, driven by longer lifespans and declining birth rates. This seismic demographic shift presents both opportunities and challenges for society. Countries like Italy, Japan, and Germany have already reached the Super Age, and many others will follow suit. If we fail to prepare, we risk economic stagnation, increased isolation of at-risk populations, and the decline of rural communities — as witnessed in present-day Russia, exacerbated by its high-mortality invasion of Ukraine. In this episode, Bradley Schurman joins us to shed light on the road ahead. Governments and businesses must be nimble, adapting to a dwindling workforce and the strains it may impose on social programs. Architects and designers, in turn, bear the responsibility of creating inclusive environments that cater to individuals of all ages. And let us not forget the marketers, who must keenly attend to the needs and desires of our older consumers. Through these proactive measures, we can harness the immense potential of the Super Age, a future defined by extended and healthier lives, intergenerational cooperation, and the exciting exploration of new markets.

GiveDirectly President Rory Stewart talks about “mad” politics, long walks in warzones, and ensuring our charitable donations actually aid people in need. To donate go here https://www.givedirectly.com/jordan Subscribe to the podcast: http://jordanharbinger.com/subscribe Full show notes can be found here: https://jordanharbinger.com/867 What We Discuss with Rory: 🌎 What makes the UK’s system of government “slightly mad” (even when compared to that of the US)? 🌎 How the kind of skills that get someone elected as a politician can get in the way of governing well. 🌎 How did Rory survive a walk across post-9/11 Afghanistan — just weeks after the fall of the Taliban, in the middle of winter, during a war, stalked by hungry wolves — despite being “guaranteed” it would mean certain death? 🌎 What it was like to be one of the first people to see the ruins of a once-thriving city since Genghis Khan had destroyed it over 800 years before. 🌎 How we can ensure that every penny of our charitable donations to developing places like Afghanistan and Kenya helps the people who really need it instead of stuffing the pockets of warlords, corrupt officials, and middlemen. 🌎 And much more… Rory Stewart — author of How Not to Be a Politician: A Memoir and co-host (with Alastair Campbell) of The Rest Is Politics podcast — is with us today to talk about “mad” UK politics, long winter walks in wolf-wandering warzones, and how to ensure our charitable donations actually aid people in need. Join us in putting life-changing funds in the hands of all 187 residents of Ngamani Kafitsoni village, Kenya. Each family will receive ~$1,000 via digital transfer to spend and invest in what they need most as part of GiveDirectly’s poverty relief program. Our donations will be delivered directly to residents, who live on less than $2.15/day and have to choose between: Food, which they’ve struggled to grow during a multi-year drought. School, due to $3 per semester fees per student. Medical care, as the nearest health center is seven miles away and residents struggle to afford bikes or a taxi ride. Safe housing, as only seven families currently have a permanent shelter. Help us deliver the cash these families need to transform their lives. Hundreds of academic studies show cash transfers increase earnings, health, access to education, and other positive outcomes. Your donation will be matched up to $20,000 from The Jordan Harbinger Show‘s $20,000 match fund.

Ian Urbina is a journalist, the director of The Outlaw Ocean Project, and the author of The Outlaw Ocean: Journeys Across the Last Untamed Frontier. Subscribe to the podcast: http://jordanharbinger.com/subscribe Full show notes can be found here: https://jordanharbinger.com/856 What We Discuss with Ian: 💧 What makes the ocean the Earth’s final untamed frontier? 💧 Who has jurisdiction to enforce laws in international waters? For that matter, what are the laws, and who makes them? 💧 How does sl*very persist on the open ocean? Who is most vulnerable to finding themselves enslaved, and who is profiting from their misery? 💧 What percentage of the fishing that supplies Western cities with delicious seafood is illegal? 💧 What can we do to ensure we’re not supporting high crimes on the high seas? 💧 And much more… There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world’s oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation. Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways — drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Ian Urbina — director of The Outlaw Ocean Project and author of The Outlaw Ocean: Journeys Across the Last Untamed Frontier — introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world. Through their stories of astonishing courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil, and shipping industries, and on which the world’s economies rely.

It’s not a moral failing, and it’s not due to a lack of willpower. These days, we’re caught between a never-ending buffet of irresistible foods designed to cater to our every craving, and a “wellness” industry geared toward keeping us hooked on its fad diets, supplements, and routines as a way to chase a skinny ideal while fattening its own wallet to the tune of $96 billion per year, globally. In this episode, we’re joined by fitness sage Adam Bornstein, the founder of Born Fitness and the author of You Can’t Screw This Up: Why Eating Takeout, Enjoying Dessert, and Taking the Stress out of Dieting Leads to Weight Loss That Lasts. Here, we discuss the common misbeliefs and flawed mindsets around fitness and weight loss perpetuated by a wellness industry that prioritizes its profits over the people it purports to help, how extreme all-or-none beliefs make us fail our fitness goals, and what we can do to actually move the progress needle forward.

Is chocolate your guilty pleasure? Until you listen to this episode, we can almost guarantee you’re not feeling guilty enough about it! But don’t fret, because we’ll also provide resources to help alleviate some of that guilt and allow you to become part of the problem’s solution! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host David C. Smalley break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. On This Week’s Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: - How the production and consumption of chocolate perpetuates a range of negative impacts, including child trafficking, labor exploitation akin to slavery, deforestation, and climate change. - The chocolate industry brings in $100 billion annually, but the farmers who produce it make less than $1 a day toiling long hours in the grueling heat, constantly exposed to poisonous pesticides in unsafe conditions. - High demand for labor is met by children — some as young as five — who are forced into it either by their desperate families or opportunists who abduct and sell them. - How, despite the health benefits of cocoa, there has been a high food safety concern regarding the presence and levels of heavy metals such as nickel, cadmium, chromium, and lead, both in cocoa beans and cocoa products including, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, cocoa powder, and chocolates. - How consumers can contribute to positive change by being more mindful of where their chocolate comes from and demanding ethical and sustainable production practices. Vote with your dollars for conscientious producers of chocolate who observe fair trade practices! Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
