Fresh from the first $10 billion election campaign, two award-winning authors show how unbridled campaign spending defines our politics and, failing a dramatic intervention, signals the end of our democracy.
Blending vivid reporting from the 2012 campaign trail and deep perspective from decades covering American and international media and politics, political journalist John Nichols and media critic Robert W. McChesney explain how US elections are becoming controlled, predictable enterprises that are managed by a new class of consultants who wield millions of dollars and define our politics as never before. As the money gets bigger—especially after the Citizens United ruling—and journalism, a core check and balance on the government, declines, American citizens are in danger of becoming less informed and more open to manipulation. With groundbreaking behind-the-scenes reporting and staggering new research on "the money power," Dollarocracy shows that this new power does not just endanger electoral politics; it is a challenge to the DNA of American democracy itself.

News headlines repeatedly provide us examples of terrible accidents, injuries, economic losses, and environmental harms caused by the failure of regulated business entities to comply with government regulations. At the same time, social science research indicates that regulatory compliance is common, indeed quite prevalent -which raises the puzzle explored in this lecture: Why do regulated business firms sometimes comply with government regulations, or fail to comply, or "overcomply" -- that is, do more than the regulations require? Addressing those questions, Professor Kagan discusses the lessons of three research projects he conducted with Professor Neil Gunningham of ANU and Dr Dorothy Thornton of UC Berkeley.

From Akhenaten and Nefertiti to John Pendlebury and Mary Chubb
Tell el-Amarna is the name we give to the site of Akhetaten, the city founded by the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten as the capital of his new Egypt. His story has proven to be one of the most captivating from anywhere in the ancient world and yet it was almost completely unknown until less than two hundred years ago.
Various travellers, expeditions and archaeologists have helped reveal the evidence for what happened in the relatively brief period of the city’s existence, and the contribution of the various EES expeditions in this is immense. In this talk Dr Chris Naunton looks at the site, some of its history and the work of those who have revealed Amarna to be one of the most important ancient sites in the world.
Dr Chris Naunton is an Egyptologist and author of 'Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt' available from Thames & Hudson. This talk was part of the EES online event programme launched during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.

Intellectual arrogance is a common theme you’ll often encounter in tech and cyber security. If you’ve ever had an idea abruptly dismissed or been roped into a technical argument, you’ve probably experienced intellectual arrogance. Let’s face it: these experiences are quite unpleasant.
In domains dominated by physical prowess, it’s common to see displays of hubris and “one-upping” opponents at every turn. In an economy where mental prowess is king, technical arrogance comes in the form of knowledge flexes. Whether it’s people bragging about their credentials or telling you your method isn’t the best, intellectual arrogance arises in many ways in cyber security. So why is that?
Three primary sources for intellectual arrogance in cyber security are:
Competitive Personalities
Poor People Skills
Cognitive Bias
To start, naturally competitive people tend to compare themselves with peers. In everything, they’ll strive to outperform others. Success is the mother of hubris after all, so it’s easy for these people to end up thinking they are the smartest person in the room. Every meeting with new people is an opportunity to size them up and down. Are they inferior? Ignore them. Are they superior? Snipe and challenge them. About the same? Put them in their place.
Poor people skills are another reason why people may appear arrogant in cyber security. A lot of people in this field over-develop their cognitive abilities at the expense of their social skills. This may exhibit itself as appearing self-centered and dismissive of the group as a whole. They’ll see efforts to promote social harmony among people as wastes of time. Their personal interests and points-of-view are far more logical and important.
The third reason for arrogance in cyber security is cognitive bias. Humans enjoy feeling sure about matters, since our brains produce dopamine to confirm suspicions. Unsure feelings are uncomfortable, and we try to resolve them quickly. This can lead us to make assumptions, jump to conclusions, and become entrenched in certain ideas and prior beliefs, when they’re inaccurate. Quite simply, it’s an illusion of knowing things. This illusion can turn the kindest people in the most arrogant and abrasive individuals out there.
Pride is a natural part of human nature that drives us towards achievement and success. But they can also make teamwork and collaboration quite difficult in cyber security. You end up spending more time managing and solving personality issues and less time on technical problems.
Fortunately, there’s techniques out there for dealing with arrogance quite similar to dealing with people in general. First, avoid arguments and debates in general, since they aren’t constructive towards building a relationship. Become genuinely interested and curious in what the other person is saying and advertising. People will gladly tell you about what they know for hours and, in the process, come to like you. For those who are fiercely competitive, try to differentiate yourself by developing in a skillset or area of expertise they aren’t strong in.
Dealing with arrogance in tech and cyber security starts with changing yourself. Highly recommend grabbing a copy of “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. It’s full of actionable advice.

Robert Burton (scholar)
Robert Burton (8 February 1577 – 25 January 1640) was an English scholar at Oxford University, best known for the classic The Anatomy of Melancholy. He was also the incumbent of St Thomas the Martyr, Oxford, and of Seagrave in Leicestershire.
Life
He was born at Lindley, Leicestershire, Robert Burton was the son of Ralph and Dorothy Burton and the brother of William Burton the antiquary. Burton spent most of his life at Oxford, first as a pupil at Brasenose College, and then as a student (the equivalent of a fellow at other Oxford and Cambridge colleges) of Christ Church. He studied a large number of diverse subjects, many of which informed the study of melancholia, for which he is chiefly famous. He was appointed vicar of St Thomas' Church in Oxford in 1616, and in 1630 he was also made the rector of Seagrave in Leicestershire.
Burton was a mathematician and dabbled in astrology. When not depressed he was an amusing companion, "very merry, facete, and juvenile", and a person of "great honesty, plain dealing, and charity". Merry, indeed, Burton had favourite sources for laughter. In 1728 Bishop Kennet wrote that:

Fresh from the first $10 billion election campaign, two award-winning authors show how unbridled campaign spending defines our politics and, failing a dramatic intervention, signals the end of our democracy.
Blending vivid reporting from the 2012 campaign trail and deep perspective from decades covering American and international media and politics, political journalist John Nichols and media critic Robert W. McChesney explain how US elections are becoming controlled, predictable enterprises that are managed by a new class of consultants who wield millions of dollars and define our politics as never before. As the money gets bigger—especially after the Citizens United ruling—and journalism, a core check and balance on the government, declines, American citizens are in danger of becoming less informed and more open to manipulation. With groundbreaking behind-the-scenes reporting and staggering new research on "the money power," Dollarocracy shows that this new power does not just endanger electoral politics; it is a challenge to the DNA of American democracy itself.

News headlines repeatedly provide us examples of terrible accidents, injuries, economic losses, and environmental harms caused by the failure of regulated business entities to comply with government regulations. At the same time, social science research indicates that regulatory compliance is common, indeed quite prevalent -which raises the puzzle explored in this lecture: Why do regulated business firms sometimes comply with government regulations, or fail to comply, or "overcomply" -- that is, do more than the regulations require?

From Akhenaten and Nefertiti to John Pendlebury and Mary Chubb
Tell el-Amarna is the name we give to the site of Akhetaten, the city founded by the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten as the capital of his new Egypt. His story has proven to be one of the most captivating from anywhere in the ancient world and yet it was almost completely unknown until less than two hundred years ago.
Various travellers, expeditions and archaeologists have helped reveal the evidence for what happened in the relatively brief period of the city’s existence, and the contribution of the various EES expeditions in this is immense. In this talk Dr Chris Naunton looks at the site, some of its history and the work of those who have revealed Amarna to be one of the most important ancient sites in the world.

Various travellers, expeditions and archaeologists have helped reveal the evidence for what happened in the relatively brief period of the city’s existence, and the contribution of the various EES expeditions in this is immense. In this talk Dr Chris Naunton looks at the site, some of its history and the work of those who have revealed Amarna to be one of the most important ancient sites in the world.
Dr Chris Naunton is an Egyptologist and author of 'Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt' available from Thames & Hudson. This talk was part of the EES online event programme launched during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.

Intellectual arrogance is a common theme you’ll often encounter in tech and cyber security. If you’ve ever had an idea abruptly dismissed or been roped into a technical argument, you’ve probably experienced intellectual arrogance. Let’s face it: these experiences are quite unpleasant.
In domains dominated by physical prowess, it’s common to see displays of hubris and “one-upping” opponents at every turn. In an economy where mental prowess is king, technical arrogance comes in the form of knowledge flexes. Whether it’s people bragging about their credentials or telling you your method isn’t the best, intellectual arrogance arises in many ways in cyber security. So why is that?
Three primary sources for intellectual arrogance in cyber security are:
Competitive Personalities
Poor People Skills
Cognitive Bias
To start, naturally competitive people tend to compare themselves with peers. In everything, they’ll strive to outperform others. Success is the mother of hubris after all, so it’s easy for these people to end up thinking they are the smartest person in the room. Every meeting with new people is an opportunity to size them up and down. Are they inferior? Ignore them. Are they superior? Snipe and challenge them. About the same? Put them in their place.
Poor people skills are another reason why people may appear arrogant in cyber security. A lot of people in this field over-develop their cognitive abilities at the expense of their social skills. This may exhibit itself as appearing self-centered and dismissive of the group as a whole. They’ll see efforts to promote social harmony among people as wastes of time. Their personal interests and points-of-view are far more logical and important.
The third reason for arrogance in cyber security is cognitive bias. Humans enjoy feeling sure about matters, since our brains produce dopamine to confirm suspicions. Unsure feelings are uncomfortable, and we try to resolve them quickly. This can lead us to make assumptions, jump to conclusions, and become entrenched in certain ideas and prior beliefs, when they’re inaccurate. Quite simply, it’s an illusion of knowing things. This illusion can turn the kindest people in the most arrogant and abrasive individuals out there.
Pride is a natural part of human nature that drives us towards achievement and success. But they can also make teamwork and collaboration quite difficult in cyber security. You end up spending more time managing and solving personality issues and less time on technical problems.
Fortunately, there’s techniques out there for dealing with arrogance quite similar to dealing with people in general. First, avoid arguments and debates in general, since they aren’t constructive towards building a relationship. Become genuinely interested and curious in what the other person is saying and advertising. People will gladly tell you about what they know for hours and, in the process, come to like you. For those who are fiercely competitive, try to differentiate yourself by developing in a skillset or area of expertise they aren’t strong in.
Dealing with arrogance in tech and cyber security starts with changing yourself. Highly recommend grabbing a copy of “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. It’s full of actionable advice.

Fresh from the first $10 billion election campaign, two award-winning authors show how unbridled campaign spending defines our politics and, failing a dramatic intervention, signals the end of our democracy.
Blending vivid reporting from the 2012 campaign trail and deep perspective from decades covering American and international media and politics, political journalist John Nichols and media critic Robert W. McChesney explain how US elections are becoming controlled, predictable enterprises that are managed by a new class of consultants who wield millions of dollars and define our politics as never before. As the money gets bigger—especially after the Citizens United ruling—and journalism, a core check and balance on the government, declines, American citizens are in danger of becoming less informed and more open to manipulation. With groundbreaking behind-the-scenes reporting and staggering new research on "the money power," Dollarocracy shows that this new power does not just endanger electoral politics; it is a challenge to the DNA of American democracy itself.

Professor Emeritus Robert A. Kagan, University of California, Berkeley gives this talk entitled .'Fear, Duty, and Regulatory Compliance' at The Australian National University. This talk is part of the Regulatory Institutions Network (RegNet) seminar series
News headlines repeatedly provide us examples of terrible accidents, injuries, economic losses, and environmental harms caused by the failure of regulated business entities to comply with government regulations. At the same time, social science research indicates that regulatory compliance is common, indeed quite prevalent -which raises the puzzle explored in this lecture: Why do regulated business firms sometimes comply with government regulations, or fail to comply, or "overcomply" -- that is, do more than the regulations require? Addressing those questions, Professor Kagan discusses the lessons of three research projects he conducted with Professor Neil Gunningham of ANU and Dr Dorothy Thornton of UC Berkeley.
Robert A. Kagan began teaching political science at UC Berkeley in 1974, and in 1988 he also became a member of the Boalt Hall faculty. From 1993 to 2004, with an interval in 2001, he was Director of the Center for the Study of Law and Society. He has been a visiting scholar at Oxford University, Ohio State University, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, the Russell Sage Foundation, and the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences. Kagan was appointed to the Emanuel S. Heller Chair in 2006.

Robert Burton (scholar)
Robert Burton (8 February 1577 – 25 January 1640) was an English scholar at Oxford University, best known for the classic The Anatomy of Melancholy. He was also the incumbent of St Thomas the Martyr, Oxford, and of Seagrave in Leicestershire.
Life
He was born at Lindley, Leicestershire, Robert Burton was the son of Ralph and Dorothy Burton and the brother of William Burton the antiquary. Burton spent most of his life at Oxford, first as a pupil at Brasenose College, and then as a student (the equivalent of a fellow at other Oxford and Cambridge colleges) of Christ Church. He studied a large number of diverse subjects, many of which informed the study of melancholia, for which he is chiefly famous. He was appointed vicar of St Thomas' Church in Oxford in 1616, and in 1630 he was also made the rector of Seagrave in Leicestershire.
Burton was a mathematician and dabbled in astrology. When not depressed he was an amusing companion, "very merry, facete, and juvenile", and a person of "great honesty, plain dealing, and charity". Merry, indeed, Burton had favourite sources for laughter. In 1728 Bishop Kennet wrote that:
