    Philion — Kids Literally Can’t Read Anymore: Why AI Isn’t the Answer
    Jan 25 2026
    A fourth-grader’s question—"Why learn to read if AI can read for me?"—is a wake-up call about a literacy crisis. In this 3-minute summary (original episode 35 minutes), host Philion lays out how pandemic learning loss, short-form media, ‘tabletified’ childhoods, classroom behavioral crises, and overreliance on AI are eroding reading skills and critical thinking. You’ll learn the data on declining literacy, why cognitive offloading to AI weakens reasoning, and what educators are doing to reclaim fundamentals—systematic phonics, pencil-and-paper practice, and alternative models like Montessori. The episode also tackles tech ethics, media literacy, and the role of parenting and policy in education reform. If you care about literacy, attention, misinformation, and the future of learning, this summary gives the key insights and practical imperatives fast. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.

  • Practical Tools for a Less Anxious Life — Modern Wisdom (Donald Robertson)

    Practical Tools for a Less Anxious Life — Modern Wisdom (Donald Robertson)
    Jan 24 2026
    When anxiety feels like an endless storm, small, repeatable practices can actually change the weather. In this 5-minute summary (originally 2 hours), host Chris Williamson and clinical psychologist Donald Robertson distill evidence-based strategies—from CBT and exposure therapy to Stoic techniques—to reduce chronic worry and build resilience. Learn to treat emotions as multiple “ingredients,” use exposure and worry-postponement to break avoidance, apply cognitive defusion to create choice around thoughts, and work with bodily symptoms rather than fighting them. Robertson also explains why simple, concrete tools outperform complexity and how practices like prosoche and premeditatio malorum map onto modern therapy. Ideal for listeners searching for mental health, CBT, anxiety treatment, or Stoicism insights. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
