Mm-hmm.
12:54
I was in a Toyota the last week as well, and it was the same experience.
12:58
And it's like, I don't understand why a car that I have paired my phone to must be, like, convinced to pair again, like to connect again.

16 MINS LATER

28:43
Yes.
28:44
Yes.
28:44
I got to the car, and I didn't have to think extra hard about how to open the door and say any magical chants to, for the car to release itself to me, so I was very excited.
28:56
It's a very low bar.
28:57
I fully accept that.
8:50
And in your book, The Meaning of Travel, you mention a very important English philosopher called John Locke, who really was, he was obsessed with travel, wasn't he? Or traveller's tales, maybe.
9:02
He was, yeah.
9:03
So Locke did a fair amount of travelling himself.
9:06
So he's born in the 17th century at a time when England is going through lots of wars.
9:13
So English civil wars, plural, are going on.
9:18
They're ferociously complicated, whether you're on the side of the monarchy or the parliamentarians.
9:24
And as a result of all these politics, Locke finds himself exiled to the European continent.

But despite these two great successes, she didn't really get the esteem that she merited.
Jack MoriartyMODERATOR
14:52
as part of the social value proposition, but where are your clients on this, and how have you approached this opportunity?
14:58
Yeah, thanks, Jack, and I'll echo Jim and Siobhan and others.
15:03
This is my first Aspen Ideas employee ownership event, and very excited to be here, and it's been just really incredible meeting so many of you out there.
15:14
I'm actually going to start with a story.
15:17
So yesterday, for those of you who were there, apologies for repeating, but Phil Reeve shared a story about, so he works at Apis and Heritage, and somebody reaching out to their inbox saying, oh, I'm interested in employee ownership.
15:34
And he had been thinking about it for 10 years.
15:36
but he hadn't acted on it, he didn't know what to do.

18 MINS LATER

Jack MoriartyMODERATOR
34:08
What's the same question? What's the report card?
14:52
Could you talk a little bit more about such scientists?
14:57
So Welby... makes lots of curious remarks in her public work.
15:04
She says things like that motion underlies the world, that my worldview is all about dynamicity, that everything is moving, everything is motion.
15:15
And without any context, these remarks just seem quite odd.
15:19
It's really hard to know what she means by them.
15:22
But when I began reading through her archives, I found correspondence with scientists and also extensive notes that she took on journal articles in science and physics and philosophy.
15:37
And once you appreciate the context, then these remarks start to come clear.

12 MINS LATER

27:50
What about her place of mind in nature as a panpsychist? What can you tell us about it?
1:46
What are you liking so far?
1:47
So the thing that I like the most about the Sentra is at this price point, you can get so much safety.
1:57
And to me, that's super important, right? Like I lead our vehicle safety programs and you get standard AEB with pedestrian detection, highway speed AEB, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic warning.
2:10
You get standard side torso airbags for your rear occupants, standard pre-tensioners and low limiters in the rear outboard seatbelts.
2:19
A standard rear belt minder, a standard rear occupant end of trips reminder.
2:23
There's so much standard safety that comes at this price point compared to its competitors, right? Like you mentioned how, you know, Honda and, you know, Toyota, they also have similar vehicles.
2:35
And there's some advantages there too, but they will make you pay extra for a blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning.

So at least they're cutting corners where it's okay.
Andy TagleCORRESPONDENT

And if it's possible, hold out for longer, as in...
3:03
You're gonna wanna keep your child rear-facing as long as you can up to the manufacturer height or weight limit for the rear-facing mode.
3:10
And really, that's because their bodies are still maturing, especially their skeletons.
3:17
And so you want their bones to be stronger.
3:22
You want their neck es- and spine to be able to support their head.
3:28
The most common type of crash is a frontal impact.
3:30
And so when they're rear-facing, those crash forces are gonna get spread out across the back of that car seat shell, and it's going to, um, distribute less forces to your child, and it's gonna pr- really protect the head and spine.

Any advice on how best to go about that?
