She called me at work the other day Said it happened when we were both away Living in the city, gotta take what you can get She didn't sound all that upset They broke the window, forced the door Left food prints across the floor Broke a banjo string But they didn't take a thing New lock means nothing if it's still old wood But I don't see how I did them any good Left my jewelry in a new TV It's like they're trying to send a message to me They broke the windows, forced the door Left food prints across the floor Broke a banjo string, but they didn't take a thing Smashed a bottle, smoked my weed Moved around everything I need Broke a banjo string, but they didn't take a thing These days are different They got a shorter span of attention Less patient and quick to get even Now I see what she meant They broke the window, forced the door Left footprints across the floor Broke a banjo string But they didn't take a thing Smashed a bottle, smoked my weed Moved around everything I knew Broke a banjo string But they didn't take a thing

Luke, how about you? Well, it's the other one from Cece.

It's the hippie, dirty way.

I was, you know, in high school, I liked the Grateful Dead and all that stuff.

And I did a lot of music as a kid, like just playing the piano and singing and stuff like that.

So I had a sort of a musical foundation.

But then I stumbled across this guy called Billy Strings.

I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long.

Mm

...

they shut down Instagram?" She wanted 46 spotlights changing to chrome in her house.

She had spotlights everywhere.

And then it was something to do with sockets moving, and someone had quoted her £200 all in, material as well.

And I was thinking, "That's a lie." I was like, "There's...

Can you even buy spotlights for..." Like, as much as I hate the abuse you get, some of them I have looked at and think, "Okay, you've said that in a very horrible way, but you are right." And then it makes me think, "Ah, I should do it this way." And I've, I've gone...

... and have a go.

So can you share a little bit about that?

Yeah.

So, uh, there's-- typically when people, uh, go to give to charity, they are giving, as you said, to things that are right in front of them or that's things that they have had, uh, some experience with.

However, like, when we take time to actually reflect, uh, most of us come down to the fact that we-- what we care about is improving lives or saving lives or like kind of quality, um, or duration or whatever of lives, whether it be humans or animals, and whether that's happening now or, or later down the track.

Uh, generally, what we care about is how good lives are.

Um, and, uh, when you take a step back and think about, you know, things from that perspective, you find that there are just huge differences in how much any particular charitable intervention actually improves lives.

In fact, um, when they've studied a lot of, a lot of social interventions, many of them don't turn out to work at all, and some of them turn out to do harm once, once you actually, uh, apply, you know, some rigorous methodology.

Do you have any thoughts on or have you seen anything with where an organization may align themselves? So we have a lot of people who own their own businesses or whatnot that listen to the show or, or working with large organizations, and th-having that, uh, corporation identify with and tie to a specific charity or, or nonprofit, um, does that have an impact as well of being able to show, um, you know, that value of that social proof in the same way?

He came to power in a coup, did he not?

He came to power in a coup in 2009 and he's been directly or indirectly running the country ever since.

I think it's important to understand the person of this president because this helps us understand a lot about the state of Madagascar and why the protests have arisen.

his default personality is performative.

It's about the projection of an image.

He made his early fame as a disc jockey in Antananarivo's nightclubs, and he made his early money selling space on advertising hoardings.

So when he started planning his rise to power, he was very aware of presentation.

Yes.
