The Intelligence from The Economist - Roads to success: Indonesia’s election

Joko Widodo, the incumbent president, is expected to win today’s vote, after a people-pleasing term tackling the country’s infrastructure. But there are worrying signs about how Jokowi would continue to rule. As a herd of “unicorns” stampedes toward stockmarkets, their business models don’t look so sure-footed. And, a battle is heating up as hotpot, a spicy Chinese dish, spreads globally.

Brought to you by... - 29: LaCroix, Canada Goose, and Carhartt are cool. Why?

Some brands aren’t cool no matter how hard they try. Others start out cool, but lose their cachet over time. Then there are the brands that somehow, surprisingly turn cool. Without really changing their products, LaCroix, Canada Goose, and Carhartt became the hottest things around. How did that happen?

Philosophers In Space - 0G53: Zima Blue and Projects of Worth

Welcome to the beginning of our show's blue period. Until I decide otherwise we'll only be doing sci-fi that's blue themed. Waterworld. The Shape of Water. Mr. MeSeeks. Yellow Submarine. Don't worry, there will be some deeper meaning to it all that you'll probably fail to grasp but will pretend you understand at parties.

Okay, enough meta, we're doing the Zima Blue episode from the Netflix series Love, Death, and Robots. It's a stand alone episode, which is good for a variety of reasons. We're also going to be discussing Susan Wolf's theory of projects of worth. Hopefully this all feels like a project of worth for everyone involved, and hopefully they're not wrong.

Summary of Wolf's Theory: https://reasonandmeaning.com/2015/12/25/susan-wolf-on-meaning-in-life/

Wolf's Paper Happiness and Meaning: http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195332803.001.0001/acprof-9780195332803-chapter-9
