It's a very prison-based episode today, as John reveals he might be going there for petty crime, and Elis draws parallels between Albert Camus's prison-residing outsider Meursault and Johnny JR. Was Camus foreshadowing the life of our favourite Bristol-born broadcaster?But don't worry, it's not all highbrow existentialism. John discovers another self-penned story on his hard drive that involves farts (but crucially, is not ABOUT farts).Also expect answers to the questions: Can you Cymru Connect over a horse?

Nesta segunda parte da conversa, o escritor e guionista Filipe Homem Fonseca revela o seu ceticismo sobre o caminho do mundo nas próximas décadas, mas dá conta de como resiste à desesperança e da sua grande confiança nas gerações futuras. Depois revela o seu particular gosto por musicais e banda desenhada do fantástico, lê um poema do poeta e amigo Miguel Martins, partilha algumas das músicas que o acompanham e algumas sugestões culturais E ainda nomeia alguns dos seus filmes preferidos de sempre, e aqueles que lhe devolvem a esperança na Humanidade. E, no final, alguns dos pequenos quotidianos que o acompanham sempre. Boas escutas! Músicas referidas: Bandua – “Barquinho”Ana Lua Caiano – “Uma vida a menos”Lavoisier - “Pé de Vento” ( do álbum “Era com h”) Poema: Miguel Martins, in São Miguel da Desorientação, ed. Macondo, 2020 Sugestão cultural: A tour dos Lavoisier: “andam na estrada e são imperdíveis”. O texto lido por Filipe, da sua autoria: “50 anos a celebrar o 25, e hoje há quem nos diga “maslutem baixinho, não acordem os turistas e os nómadasdigitais, vão mais para ali que é para não se verem astendas dos que vivem na rua, olhem que dá mauaspecto, respeitinho é muito bonito, boas maneiras àmesa mesmo sem nada para comer, partir a louça éque não, pensem como vos dizemos para pensar, vivamcomo vos deixamos viver; despolarizem, filhos,despolarizem, a liberdade de expressão tem as costaslargas quando é para impormos limitesà liberdade dos outros, já não se admite fora datradição, ai a tradição, ai; o corpo é de quem?, é dequem, o corpo?, porque é que o corpo é de quem otem?, então e a família?, a família só é família se fortradicional, tomem lá a conversa de que nos queremobrigar a coisas mesmo quando só querem éque não vos obriguemos a coisas que só a vós dizemrespeito; tomem lá o discurso de que vivem acima dasvossas possibilidades, agradeçam terem empregosequer, engulam esta de que os imigrantes exploradosé que têm a culpa da crise, esqueçam os lucros dabanca e os salários miseráveis, tomem lá banda larga emuito circo, chupem gourmet, chupem low cost, roamum papo-seco e façam filhos, que esta Disneylândia precisade quem produza riqueza para os acionistas; em cadarosto igualdade?, não: em cada filho um colaboradorfuturo, trabalhador não, co-la-bo-ra-dor, um colaborador é mais empenhado, o empenho prescinde direitos,querem que isto avance ou não querem?, um passoatrás de cada vez, 50, 49, 48, sempre a puxar para trás,rumo a 74, a antes do 25, então não se estava tãobem?, antes é que era”; e a resposta é, hoje e sempre,só pode ser: não, não, não, não passarão, nãopassarão, não passarão.” ERRATA: A propósito da frase que Filipe Homem Fonseca citou, de Sísifo ter de gostar da pedra (a frase correcta é “Há que imaginar Sísifo feliz”) – Filipe atribuiu-a a Vitor Hugo quando é, na verdade, de Albert Camus.

¡Seguimos con la fase eliminatoria y este jueves tenemos unpartido lleno de contrastes! Suiza contra Argelia se enfrentan en un duelo que representados mundos, dos historias y dos sensibilidades muy distintas. En nuestro terreno literario, traemos un enfrentamiento dedos obras maestras que golpean directo al centro de la condición humana conestilos radicalmente opuestos:  Por Suiza, la novela demoledora de Ágota Kristóf: “El grancuaderno”. Por Argelia (y la literatura francófona), la obra cumbre deAlbert Camus: “El extranjero”. Dos libros breves pero de una potenciadevastadora. Dos formas extremas de mirar el horror y el absurdo de laexistencia. Ágota Kristóf, escritora húngara exiliada en Suiza queescribió en francés, publica “El gran cuaderno” en 1986 (primera parte de suTrilogía). Dos hermanos gemelos son enviados al campo durante la guerra ydeciden registrar en un cuaderno, con una precisión matemática y una frialdadabsoluta, todo lo que viven: robos, torturas, incesto, hambre, muerte ysupervivencia. El estilo es seco, repetitivo, casi clínico. Sin adornosemocionales. Sin juicios morales. Solo hechos. Kristóf consigue algoextraordinario: convertir la crueldad en un experimento literario que obliga allector a confrontar la barbarie humana sin filtros. Es una de lasrepresentaciones más brutales y honestas de la guerra y sus consecuencias entoda la literatura europea del siglo XX. Albert Camus, nacido en Argelia, publica “El extranjero” en1942. La historia de Meursault, un hombre que vive con una indiferencia casiabsoluta ante el mundo: la muerte de su madre, el amor, y finalmente elasesinato de un árabe en una playa argelina bajo el sol cegador. Camusconstruye con una prosa limpia, seca y luminosa una de las novelas másimportantes del existencialismo. Meursault encarna el absurdo: un hombre que nollora cuando debe llorar y que solo encuentra claridad en el momento de su condenaa muerte. La novela es una crítica profunda a la hipocresía social, a lajusticia y a las convenciones morales, y contiene una fuerte dimensióncolonial. Es una obra que cambió la forma de entender la literatura moderna. Una registra el horror de la guerra con frialdad quirúrgicay sin piedad. La otra narra el absurdo de la existencia bajo un solimplacable con una indiferencia que resulta perturbadora. Suiza y Argelia. Kristóf y Camus. Dos exiliados que escribenen francés y que miran el mundo con una lucidez desgarradora: la brutalidadfactual frente al absurdo existencial. ¿Quién ganará este duelo literario tan intenso yperturbador? ¿La precisión glacial de El gran cuaderno o la lucidez absurda deEl extranjero? Esto promete ser un partido de alto voltaje cultural eintelectual.

L'historiador Iu Escape ha defensat, durant la seva crònica setmanal a Ràdio Arrels, que la cultura és un dels principals pilars de la convivència democràtica i ha advertit dels riscos que, al seu parer, comporta el seu afebliment. Citant una reflexió d'Albert Camus, ha recordat que «tot allò que degrada la cultura escurça el camí cap a la dictadura».

There's a Tom Waits line I had thought was from his VH1 Story Tellers album (though I can't find the exact moment now) where he discusses that a rooster will wait until one is between sung phrases to crow. In my memory, it was about his song “Chocolate Jesus”. The point being—sometimes art coalesces without any intentional will one can detect. Maybe it's coincidence. Or it's a vibe people are tuning into. Maybe it's one of those phone calls in The Sims that would let you know something like, “the owls are not what they seem.” (Super useful, thanks.)This week's read submissions are like that. They amplify, reflect, and oppose one another. I enjoy seeing accidental harmonies, though the dissonance and randomness of submissions other weeks is amusing in its own way. The reminder of commonality is linked to a reminder of how unique our own time here.To that effect, here's perhaps my favorite lines ever penned on this gap between individual experience, language, and collective understanding:“Moreover, in this extremity of solitude none could count on any help from his neighbor; each had to bear the brunt of his troubles alone. If, by some chance, one of us tried to unburden himself or to say something about his feelings, the reply he got, whatever it might be, usually wounded him. And then it dawned on him that he and the man with him weren't talking about the same thing. For while he himself spoke from the depths of long days of brooding upon his personal distress, and the image he had tried to impart had been slowly shaped and proved in the fires of passion and regret, this meant nothing to the man to whom he was speaking, and who pictured a conventional emotion, a grief that is traded on the market- place, mass-produced. Whether friendly or hostile, the reply always missed fire, and the attempt to communicate had to be given up. This was true of those at least for whom silence was unbearable, and since the others could not find the truly expressive word, they resigned themselves to using the current coin of language, the commonplaces of plain narrative, of anecdote and of their daily paper. So, in these cases, too, even the sincerest grief had to make do with the set phrases of ordinary conversation. Only on these terms could the prisoners of the plague ensure the sympathy of their door-porter and the interest of their hearers.”— Albert Camus, The PlagueBut you must be the judge of the submissions for yourself.Thanks so much for listening and/or reading.

La compañía murciana UpArte es la encargada de abrir la velada inaugural del Festival de Teatro de San Javier con su obra ‘Sísifos', que se representará hoy a las 22:00 horas en la Plaza de España de forma gratuita. Bajo la dirección de Concha Esteve, el montaje cuenta con 15 personas en escena —14 artistas y un músico— que ejecutan complejas disciplinas como banquinas, torres humanas y saltos mortales, manteniendo la acción principalmente de "segunda altura hacia arriba". La pieza se inspira en el ensayo de Albert Camus sobre el mito de Sísifo, transformando la idea del esfuerzo eterno y repetitivo en una metáfora del trabajo del acróbata, quien, a pesar de la dureza del entrenamiento y las cargas físicas, elige la felicidad a través de su pasión.

Wat hebben Albert Camus, jullie vakantievragen en de Antwerpse ringweg met elkaar gemeen? Nou, zoveel dat we een nieuw, breed filosofisch raamwerk ontleden in deze aflevering. Nynke en Hanneke zijn er niet, maar Alex en Anne compenseren dit met nu nog meer rucola en zwarte olijven op een Franse pizza margherita. Die Fransen sporen niet joh, maar die tolpoortjes zorgen bij Anne voor een nieuwe familietraditie. Alex heeft er ook zin in, zeker nadat hij een zwarte zaterdag in de ANWB-winkel heeft doorstaan. Anne kreeg te maken met een opvoedkundig uitdagend Lingo-woord en Alex denkt dat tabouleh een Zuid-Koreaans weerfenomeen is. Kon Sisyphus deze aflevering maar luisteren, het zou zijn lot verlichten. Misschien de jouwe ook wel, zeker als je dit luistert op de Antwerpse ringweg. Geniet en tot de volgende! Alex en Anne See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Homilía basada en el himno Amazing Grace y en la historia de John Newton, mostrando cómo la gracia de Dios salva a un hombre en medio del naufragio y lo conduce a reconocer que es un gran pecador y que Jesucristo es un gran salvador.Se relata la vida de Newton, quien creció sin su madre, llevó una vida desordenada y llegó a participar en la esclavitud, transportando y vendiendo personas. Después de sufrir un naufragio, experimentó la salvación de Dios, dejó el mar y se hizo pastor protestante.También se destaca su trabajo posterior contra la esclavitud en Inglaterra. Desde su experiencia, comenzó a denunciar el maltrato y la deshumanización que producía, hasta que la esclavitud fue abolida poco antes de su muerte.A partir de la lectura de Romanos 8,21, se desarrolla el tema de la libertad de los hijos de Dios. Se afirma que no debemos identificarnos con las circunstancias, sino reconocer que la respuesta depende de cada persona, aun en medio de dificultades, presión social o sufrimiento.Se mencionan ejemplos de Viktor Frankl, Juan Pablo II y Albert Camus para explicar que la libertad consiste en la respuesta interior, en hacer lo que se debe y en asumir responsabilidades. Finalmente, se presenta a Jesús como el hombre plenamente libre, que no cedió ante la presión ni la violencia, y que libera al ser humano para vivir en la libertad del Espíritu.

In this podcast we will be talking about 6 Ways To Enjoy Your Life To The Fullest from the philosophy of Albert Camus. Albert Camus was a French-Algerian philosopher who built his life's work around the philosophy of absurdism.So here are 6 Ways To Enjoy Your Life To The Fullest from the philosophy of Alber Camus - 01. Stop Waiting for Life to Give You a Meaning02. Kill "Hope" 03. Embrace the Daily Grind04. Prioritize the "Quantity" of the Present Over the "Quality"05. Reconnect with the physical world06. RebelWe hope you listening to this podcast and hope this video, from the philosophy of Camus, helps you to enjoy life to the fullest. Albert Camus is one of the greatest French writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning, that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people's lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of  people in dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is extremely relevant.

Anmeldung zur kostenfreien Online-Lesung mit Christoph Fromm am 11. Juni um 19 Uhr   In dieser Folge tauchen wir ein in das bewegte Leben und das zeitlose Werk von Albert Camus, einem der bedeutendsten und faszinierendsten französischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Aufgewachsen in Algier in bitteren, armen Verhältnissen , ebnete ihm erst die Unterstützung seines Lehrers den Weg zu höherer Bildung und einer lebenslangen Leidenschaft für Philosophie, Literatur und das Theater. Doch Camus war weit mehr als ein Intellektueller am Schreibtisch: Er war ein leidenschaftlicher Fußballtorwart beim Club RUA , dem er nach eigenen Worten alles verdankte, was er über Moral und menschliche Verpflichtungen gelernt hat. Als eine Tuberkulose-Diagnose seine Sportkarriere und seine Pläne, Lehrer zu werden, jäh beendete , fand er durch diesen und viele weitere Schicksalsschläge einen ganz eigenen Zugang zur Welt. Geprägt von persönlichen Enttäuschungen und dem Ersten sowie Zweiten Weltkrieg , entwickelte Camus seine berühmte „Philosophie des Absurden“. Am Beispiel des Mythos von Sisyphos zeigt er uns, dass das menschliche Dasein zwar fundamental sinnlos sein mag, wir das Leben aber gerade deshalb mit maximaler Intensität und Freude leben sollten. Wir beleuchten in dieser Episode seine literarischen Meilensteine wie „Der Fremde“ – dessen Neuverfilmung dieses Jahr, 2026, die Kinos erobert – und den Pandemie-Klassiker „Die Pest“. Erfahrt außerdem, warum Camus als mutiger Journalist im Pariser Widerstand schrieb , wie er sich trotz des Nobelpreises im Jahr 1957 stets als Außenseiter fühlte und warum er bis heute ein absolut allgegenwärtiger und relevanter Denker globaler Zeiten bleibt. Hört rein und entdeckt den Menschen Camus zwischen dem Fußballstadion, der Theaterbühne und den ganz großen Fragen des Lebens!

“We've learned how to tolerate acts of violence, acts of widespread death, disease — that other developed nations simply don't tolerate. And that tolerance manifesting in myriad political failures — all of which go back to our refusal to maturely deal with mortality and issues of grief.” — David Masciotra Earlier this week, we talked to Ece Temelkuran about her book Nation of Strangers, a manifesto about strangers finding one another. But for the cultural critic David Masciotra, strangerdom is the problem rather than the solution. Contemporary America, he argues in his new essay A Country of Strangers, has become a place of death, despair and indifference. Masciotra takes his cue from Albert Camus' 1942 novella The Stranger. Camus' Meursault — the narrator of The Stranger — is a man completely detached from meaning. He attends his own mother's funeral without feeling anything. He murders an Arab man on a beach without motive. He faces his execution with a shrug. Masciotra's argument is that the United States has become Meursault writ large. America's failure is existential rather than political. It is a failure to mourn — a sustained refusal to engage with death, grief, and the weight of history that produces a society of strangers who cannot connect with one another across race, class, or geography. So is Masciotra right? Are we all Meursault now? What can Albert Camus teach us about America? Five Takeaways •       Meursault and America: The Same Detachment: Camus' The Stranger is narrated by Meursault — a man who attends his mother's memorial without feeling, murders an Arab man on a beach without motive, and faces execution with indifference. The novel, Camus said, was his attempt to detail “man's confrontation with absurdity in its nakedness.” Masciotra's argument: this is America now. A country that has adopted Meursault's emotional posture toward mass death. Columbine stopped the nation in 1999. Mass shootings now barely register. That is not political failure. It is existential failure. •       A Failure to Mourn: Masciotra's central thesis: America's deepest problem is its refusal to mourn. Not guilt — he is careful to distinguish mourning from guilt. You can have a national memory that reckons with both what you celebrate and what you grieve. If the Founding Fathers are worth preserving in active memory, so are the people they enslaved. Never properly dealing with the Civil War allowed the resurgence of white supremacist movements. Never properly mourning mass shootings allows them to accelerate. The failure to grieve is not sentimental. It is political. •       Is Meursault Autistic? The Spectrum Reading: Some contemporary critics read Meursault as someone on the autism spectrum — a man whose emotional detachment reflects neurodivergence rather than moral failure. Masciotra is skeptical. His reading: Camus' portrait is one of moral refusal, not neurological condition. The distinction matters for the American parallel: if America's indifference is a structural feature rather than a disease, the remedy is not therapy but political and cultural change. You can't medicate a country into empathy. •       The Colonial Murder and the Racial Hierarchy: Meursault murders an Arab man in French Algeria and feels nothing. Some critics fault Camus for not making colonialism more explicit. Masciotra defends Camus: Meursault doesn't care about anything, including his own mother's death. His indifference to his Arab victim's humanity is the point, not an evasion. The parallel to America: the hierarchy of victims, where Black Americans have historically ranked lower in the eyes of law and institution. David Shipler's 1997 book A Country of Strangers documented the same failure of Black and white Americans to actually talk to one another. •       You Are the First Close White Friends I've Had: Masciotra's friend Alana — a highly educated, cultured Black woman who lived in Chicago — once told him and his wife: “You are the first close white friends I've had.” They said the same back. This, Masciotra argues, is the country of strangers in daily life. Not the horror stories of overt racism. The quieter failure of self-imposed segregation that persists in a society that preaches diversity but, judging from its own behaviour, doesn't really want it. About the Guest David Masciotra is a cultural critic and the author of six books, including Exurbia Now: The Battleground of American Democracy, I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters, and Mellencamp: American Troubadour. He has written for the Progressive, the New Republic, Liberties, and many other publications about politics, literature, and music.

In this episode, I welcome Raphaëlle d'Ornano, founder of Decoding Discontinuity, both an advisory firm and an investment fund, for a conversation about agentic AI, architectural resilience, and what it really means to invest in a world where business models are being fundamentally rewritten.We talked about:Orchestration as the real competitive moat of AI labs: why only 11% of enterprise builders switched AI providers last year despite the switch being technically trivial, and what that paradox reveals about where lock-in actually livesThe concept of architectural resilience: why analysing classical competitive advantages no longer makes sense if a company's terminal value is drifting toward zero because of AIWarren Buffett's castle metaphor revisited: attacks now come from the sky and from the foundations, not through the front doorThe choice of a hedge fund over a venture capital structure: how her framework, companies going to the moon vs. going to zero by 2030, maps better onto public assets across global marketsThe SaaSpocalypse: why historical SaaS categories (horizontal, vertical, infrastructure) are dissolving in a world of agent fleets, and why many companies' defensive positions are, in her view, short-livedThe gap between US and European allocators: not a difference in intelligence, but in physical proximity to the AI labs, creating a lag of several months in real-world understandingThe human side of the transition: how companies that face the truth honestly are beginning to redesign their workflows with intelligence at the core, rather than resisting the inevitableA sharp, unfiltered conversation that gives concrete tools for thinking about company value in the age of agentic AI.Raphaëlle's recommendation: “Letters” by Albert Camus & Maria Casarès https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/313959/letters-by-casares-albert-camus-and-maria/9780241400425Useful links:Raphaëlle d'Ornano: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raphaelle-d-ornano/Decoding Discontinuity : https://www.decodingdiscontinuity.com/Finscale is also available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@finscale.********************Finscale is much more than a podcast.

'Marcelino'  (Los aciertos & Pepitas) es la segunda novela de la también poeta Bibiana Collado Cabrera. La primera fue la exitosa 'Yeguas exhaustas' . Y 'Marcelino' marca la continuidad de lo que ya es un gran novelista. ¿Y quien es Marcelino? Es el narrador y protagonista que nos cuenta su vida, la de un hombre de un mundo de rural de postguerra, un mundo de miseria, de soledades, de aislamiento, de ignorancia, de sufrimiento, pero a la vez de sentimientos, de amor, de ternura, se sexualidad. Un mundo de hombres y mujeres que vivían con el miedo, el silencio y  el dolor de un drama reciente que hoy es memoria . Personas que en muchos casos fueron víctimas de su salud mental sin saber cual era su mal. Novela brillante con la que muchos nos podemos sentir identificados. Además de 'Marcelino' ,  Bibiana Collado nos donado 'El rayo que no cesa' de Miguel Hernández (Lunwerg editores). Y a su lado, además de Àngels Barceló, nuestro bibliotecario  Antonio Martínez Asensio. Y aprovechando que hacíamos el programa Hoy por Hoy desde la Casa Mediterráneo de Alicante, nos habló de cuatro libros donde nuestro Mare Nostrum  tiene mucho protagonismo: 'La Odisea' de Homero (Alianza) , 'El primer hombre' de Albert Camus (Tusquets), 'El cuarteto de Alejandría' de Lawrence Durrell (Edhasa) y  'Libro de requiems' de Mauricio Wiesenthal (Edhasa). Además Martínez Asensio nos dejó el libro que nos contará en su programa 'Un libro, una hora' que será 'Suite francesa" de Iréne Nemirovsky (Salamandra) 

On retrouve avec un plaisir renouvelé l'écrivain Mauricio Ségura pour discuter de son excellent roman Les amandiers en fleurs, une construction narrative complexe qui aborde la visite d'Albert Camus au Chili à la fin des années 40 avec comme toile de fond, la dictature de Pinochet et la mémoire des  femmes qui ont courageusement combattu la dictature là-bas et ici à Montréal et les traces laissées par ces combats sur leurs familles.  C'est aussi le retour de la chronique de Maxime Laprise qui a (enfin) terminé son doctorat et qui a maintenant le temps de réfléchir aux discours apocalyptiques qui ont clairsemé l'histoire. Fred termine l'épisode avec une réflexion sur les épiceries publiques déjà fortement critiquées (Ô surprise) dans les médias traditionnels. 

Louis Germain fue el maestro que miró a Albert Camus cuando casi nadie más lo hacía. Este Kilómetro habla del poder que tienen las personas comunes para influir en el futuro de otras, y de cómo una mirada a tiempo puede cambiar un destino. Un relato que nos ayuda a entender cómo Camus logró abrirse camino hasta convertirse en una de las grandes figuras de la literatura del siglo XX. Al final, un árbol cobra protagonismo: un árbol decisivo en su vida. ¡A descubrirlo!

This episode takes you into the minds of the greatest thinkers in history, their brutal honesty, and how their teachings apply to the modern world.In this conversation with Faraz Khan, we talk about the Three Musketeers of Philosophy—Nietzsche, Marx, and Machiavelli. We explore the Socratic method, Marcus Aurelius's Stoicism, and the importance of becoming a "Good Man" through action rather than words. We also understand how philosophy can be used as a practical tool to attack life's challenges, from financial growth to social dynamics.This episode also covers the "Will to Power," the struggle of the modern man through the lens of Franz Kafka, the concept of "God is Dead," and the philosophy of Absurdism. We dive deep into Faraz's personal experiences with meditation and astral projection, the reality of "The Father Wound," and the ultimate "Sigma" philosopher, Diogenes.(00:00) – Start of the episode(01:36) – The 3 Musketeers of Western Philosophy(02:53) – Why Philosophy is a "Contact Sport"(05:20) – Marcus Aurelius: How to Be a Good Man(08:30) – Nietzsche's "Will to Power" Explained(11:07) – Franz Kafka & The Modern Man's Trauma(15:43) – Why Nietzsche Said "God is Dead"(20:31) – Meaning of Life & The John Cena Lesson(25:27) – Dealing with Fame, Lies, and Criticism(28:58) – Miyamoto Musashi & The Warrior Spirit(32:56) – Being Unapologetic: The Key to the Top(38:16) – Perspectivism: The Skill Most People Lack(42:23) – Albert Camus & The Free Fall of Life(45:39) – Faraz's Surreal Astral Projection Experience(50:37) – The Brutal Truth About Love & Transactions(58:26) – The "Father Wound" in Brown Households(1:04:33) – Diogenes: The Ultimate Sigma Philosopher(1:10:45) – Retraining the "Weak Man" Mentality(1:15:00) – Controlling the "Monster" Within You(1:20:45) – Virat Kohli's Aggression & Speed as Life(1:33:36) – Confronting Death: The Final Frontier(1:42:25) – Life-Changing Gifts for Ranveer(1:47:10) – End of the episode

Fabrice Midal, philosophe, fondateur de l'École Occidentale de Méditation et auteur d'une vingtaine de livres dont le dernier, Empêcher que le monde ne se défasse, paru récemment. C'est aussi l'auteur d'un podcast génial.Je le connaissais de loin. J'avais tort de ne pas l'avoir lu plus tôt. Dès qu'on s'est mis à parler, j'ai réalisé qu'on partageait une même manière de regarder le monde : avec inquiétude, mais sans résignation. Avec lucidité sur ce qui fout le camp, et une conviction tenace que quelque chose reste à faire, là, maintenant, à notre échelle.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de ce que Fabrice appelle la calculabilité généralisée : cette tendance de notre époque à ne considérer comme réel que ce qui se mesure, se gère, se rentabilise. Et comment cette idéologie invisible, qu'on ne voit même plus parce qu'elle est partout, est à l'origine de beaucoup de nos souffrances, de nos burn-out, de notre sentiment d'impuissance collective.J'ai questionné Fabrice sur la différence entre la haine et la colère, sur ce que résister veut vraiment dire, sur pourquoi la méditation est devenue un outil de barbarie dans la majorité des entreprises, et sur ce que Camus, René Char, Etty Hillesum ont à nous dire aujourd'hui. Nous parlons aussi de la distinction entre le sacrifice et l'amour, entre le militantisme et l'engagement, entre réagir et agir.Ce qui m'a le plus frappé dans cette conversation : Fabrice ne propose pas de grand soir. Il propose un pas. Un seul. Et l'idée que ce pas, même invisible, même non mesurable, pourrait changer tout.3. CITATIONS MARQUANTES« Les gens font un burn-out parce qu'ils veulent trop bien faire. Ils ont tellement intégré ce modèle où il faut s'instrumentaliser, sinon on ne va plus trouver sa place. »« Ce qu'on prétend rationnel est très irrationnel. On est obligé de réduire le réel à des équations extrêmement sommaires. Et donc, on oublie non seulement le sensible, mais le réel lui-même. »« On meurt de chagrin. Personne ne meurt de colère. »« Fais ce que tu dois, advienne que pourra. Nous avons à empêcher, dans nos actions au quotidien, que le monde ne s'effondre. »« Ça ne change rien et ça change tout. Ce n'est pas nous qui pouvons mesurer les choses. »4. IDÉES CENTRALES (BIG IDEAS)1. La calculabilité comme idéologie invisible [00:04:57] Notre époque a redéfini le réel : est réel ce qui est calculable, gérable, rentable. Tout le reste, y compris la qualité d'une présence humaine, a été évacué du champ de ce qui compte. Cette idéologie n'est pas neutre : elle produit de la déshumanisation à grande échelle. Pourquoi c'est important : cela requalifie nos problèmes. Ce ne sont pas des problèmes psychologiques, ce sont des problèmes idéologiques. La responsabilité change de camp.2. Dépsychologiser nos souffrances [00:06:00] Le burn-out n'est pas un problème de gestion émotionnelle individuelle. C'est le symptôme d'un modèle qui demande aux gens de s'instrumentaliser pour garder leur place. Remettre la cause dans le système, pas dans la personne, est un geste philosophique et politique. Pourquoi c'est important : ça libère. Et ça déplace l'action possible.3. Colère vs haine : une distinction vitale [00:18:30 – 00:27:00] La colère est saine, elle dit non à l'injustice. Elle est une force de vie, confirmée par l'éthologie, la physiologie, et Descartes lui-même. La haine, elle, veut détruire et jouir de la destruction. Toute résistance qui glisse de la colère vers la haine finit par devenir ce qu'elle combat. Pourquoi c'est important : savoir réussir sa colère, lui donner forme sans la transformer en haine, c'est la condition d'une résistance qui reste humaine.4. Agir sans garantie de résultat [00:15:17 – 00:18:00] Toutes les grandes révolutions, toutes les résistances historiques, ont été faites par des gens qui ne calculaient pas leur impact. Les résistants disaient "je ne pouvais pas faire autrement", pas "j'ai optimisé ma stratégie". Attendre la certitude d'impact avant d'agir, c'est rester prisonnier du système même qu'on veut changer. Pourquoi c'est important : ça autorise à agir maintenant, à sa propre échelle, sans diplôme de héros.5. L'excellence comme acte de résistance ordinaire [00:45:10 – 00:48:00] Sauver le monde n'est pas réservé aux militants. Un médecin qui prend le temps de parler, un cuisinier qui fait à manger avec du cœur : chaque acte fait avec présence empêche que le monde ne se défasse. L'excellence n'est pas la performance calculée, c'est l'humanité mise dans ce qu'on fait. Pourquoi c'est important : ça restitue à chacun une puissance d'agir concrète, immédiate, sans attendre les conditions idéales.6. L'identité comme prison [00:49:39 – 00:51:30] L'injonction contemporaine à se définir, à s'enfermer dans une identité stable, est une illusion. Nous sommes des êtres relationnels, façonnés par le contexte. Ce qui nous libère n'est pas de savoir qui on est, mais d'être en relation. C'est la relation qui guérit. Pourquoi c'est important : cela remet en cause l'individualisme comme fondement de l'action et de l'identité.5. QUESTIONS POSÉES DANS L'INTERVIEWComment toi, tu regardes et tu observes le monde dans lequel on évolue en ce moment ?Pour la plupart des gens, ce qui est réel, c'est ce qui est calculable. Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire concrètement ?Qu'est-ce qui t'effraie dans ce monde ?Tu penses qu'on est dans l'immonde ?Comment tu redescends dans le concret pour traverser cette période, pour les gens qui sont perdus ?Est-ce que c'est possible de vraiment s'extraire de ce modèle ?Tu fais une différence entre la colère et la haine, et tu dis que la colère est saine. C'est quoi une colère réussie ?La méditation n'est-elle pas devenue, elle aussi, un outil de gestion du stress au service du système ?Comment faire son travail bien, dans ce monde-là, sans se trahir ?Qu'est-ce qui te donne envie du futur, toi ?6.

Joe Folley joins me for a conversation on Albert Camus and the absurdist response to the death of God. We begin by comparing and contrasting Camus and Nietzsche, and their differing approaches to the devaluation of values. Taking inspiration from Nietzsche, Camus searches for an attitude to life akin to amor fati, but defined by a defiance against dogmatic certainties and nihilistic abandonment of life's struggles. We also consider the influence from Descartes, the Stoics, and Schopenhauer on Camus' thought. In the latter half of the conversation, we explore the meaning behind philosophy's attempts at consolation; the question of the suspension of judgment versus the affirmation of certainties; the arguments between analytic and continental philosophers; the philosophers who have bridged the divide; the classical versus romantic worldviews; and the value of truths of a vague or emotional nature that can only be conveyed through art.

Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza party, has promised closer ties with the European Union - and an anti-corruption drive - after winning the Hungarian election. The 45-year-old defeated Viktor Orbán, of the Fidesz party, who had ruled the country for 16 years. Also, Iran has said it won't submit to threats from the US after President Trump said the American military would start blockading the Strait of Hormuz from Monday afternoon. Peru's election authority says it will be reopening some polls after tens of thousands of people were unable to vote in Sunday's Presidential election. We hear how a lack of basic sanitation in Zambia is putting mothers at high risk of maternal sepsis. French film director, Francois Ozon, talks about adapting the work of philosopher Albert Camus. And, in golf, Rory McIlroy has become only the fourth man ever to win successive Masters titles.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

The meaning of life is, as Albert Camus put it, the most urgent question in philosophy – the one on which everything else depends. Yet, when Western philosophy looks to answer this question, it paces up and down the same old libraries – the same shelves filled with the same assumptions about what counts as a self, a good life, and what happens after death. African philosophy of religion has been neglected in this area. Not because it has nothing to say – but because we haven't been listening. Today, we'll be exploring this tradition – that is, African philosophy – on the meaning of life with Dr Aribiah David Attoe, Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. Dr Attoe has published several books – including The Question of Life's Meaning: An African Perspective, and African Perspectives to the Question of Life's Meaning – as well as numerous articles and special journal issues on today's topic, bringing these globally neglected traditions into dialogue with mainstream philosophy. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to live meaningfully with others – not merely alongside them. We'll ask how harmony differs from conformity, and whether communal ideals can protect outsiders. And, most importantly, we'll confront life and death head-on: whether it's possible to find meaning, and – if not – how we should live in a meaningless world. This episode is produced in partnership with The Global Philosophy of Religion Project at University of Birmingham, funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

Cette conversation a été enregistrée avec public le 29 mars à Bron au Théâtre Albert Camus et imaginée avec les équipes de la compagnie Käfig.

Brad Onishi sits down with therapist and author Jay Stringer to explore his new book Desire, a deep dive into how we form identity, intimacy, and meaning in a world shaped by shame and disconnection. Jay reflects on his upbringing as a pastor's kid immersed in evangelical purity culture, including harmful messaging around sexuality reinforced by spaces like Liberty University. Together, they unpack how teachings that equate arousal with sin create lifelong shame cycles, especially for young men, and how cultural artifacts like Every Man's Battle reinforced these patterns. The conversation introduces the concept of differentiation—borrowed from biology—as a key to healthy relationships, using the metaphor of a symphony to illustrate how individuality enables deeper intimacy rather than threatening it. From there, Brad and Jay broaden the lens to examine what it means to live a meaningful life in 2026. Drawing on thinkers like Annie Dillard and Albert Camus, they explore how meaning emerges not in spite of life's absurdity, but in response to it. They discuss the stories we inherit, the “provisional selves” we construct, and the midlife invitation to interrogate what we've been taught to value. The episode also tackles masculinity and vulnerability, arguing that domination and hyper-masculinity often mask unaddressed trauma, and that true connection requires risk and emotional honesty. Ultimately, they frame defiance—not despair—as the path forward: a refusal to believe our lives don't matter, and a commitment to building lives rooted in connection, purpose, and resistance to dehumanizing cultural forces.

The book of Ecclesiastes has puzzled readers for millennia with its unflinching observations about absurdity, meaninglessness, vanity, and futility. Biblical scholar Jesse Peterson joins Evan Rosa to discuss his book, Qoheleth and the Philosophy of Value, bringing contemporary philosophy into dialogue with this ancient text and reflecting on what happens when a sage confronts the gap between expectation and reality. "Can you view your work, your toil, not just as a means to a further end? Can you rather turn to simply enjoy the work itself?" Together they discuss the distinction between meaning and value, why Qoheleth denies lasting significance while affirming joy, the harm of death and the death of memory, Ecclesiastes and Camus's absurdism, and the book's surprising message about enjoyment as an intrinsic good. Episode Highlights "I think what's at the heart of the Book of Ecclesiastes is just to say, maybe not, maybe there isn't a direct line between what you do and what the result will be." "It's not just that you'll physically die, but meaning that you've accrued in your life, if there was such a thing, that dies with you." "In this moment of working on what I'm working on, whatever it is, I am fully alive." "You have a little piece of the pie, and just own it. Absorb yourself into whatever that may be." "Can you view your work, your toil, not just as a means to a further end? Can you rather turn to simply enjoy the work itself?"

This is part two of our conversation with Dr. Joel Vos. If you haven't listened to part one yet, we recommend starting there first.In this episode, Andrew and Joel pick up where they left off, moving from the taxonomy of meaning at work into some of the harder questions about what happens when meaning goes unrealized, and what that costs individuals and societies alike.Joel draws on Albert Camus, his own clinical experience with radicalized individuals, and a systematic review of over 600 studies to make a case that extremism and polarization are, at their core, meaning problems, and that understanding them as such changes how we respond.Together, Andrew and Joel examine the MOSAIC framework Joel developed to explain how people cope when meaningful lives feel out of reach, and what leaders, organizations, and institutions can actually do to address that gap, including Joel's argument that meaningful work should be recognized as a human right.Key TakeawaysWhen people cannot realize the meanings that matter most to them, and non-extreme strategies repeatedly fail, radicalization becomes a predictable response rather than an aberration.Joel's concept of "existential compassion" offers a different starting point for engaging with people whose views we find troubling: genuine curiosity about what they actually want from their lives, before any attempt at debate or correction.The MOSAIC framework reframes coping with unfulfilled meaning as something that can be understood, supported, and redirected toward more constructive forms of change.Joel argues that protecting people's capacity to live meaningfully, including in their work, needs to move from an abstract aspiration to a legal and institutional commitment.Why This Episode MattersThe polarization, disengagement, and quiet desperation showing up in workplaces and in politics are often treated as separate problems with separate solutions.Joel's work suggests they may share a common root, and that organizations and leaders who understand that connection are better positioned to respond to it honestly, rather than just managing its symptoms.About Our GuestDr. Joel Vos is a Senior Lecturer (Research) in the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at the Metanoia Institute in London. His work sits at the intersection of meaning in life research, existential psychology, and socioeconomic history, and he brings both rigorous empirical grounding and decades of clinical practice to this conversation. His book The Economics of Meaning in Life draws on a systematic review of thousands of studies on meaning, economics, and wellbeing.

The meaning of life is, as Albert Camus put it, the most urgent question in philosophy – the one on which everything else depends. Yet, when Western philosophy looks to answer this question, it paces up and down the same old libraries – the same shelves filled with the same assumptions about what counts as a self, a good life, and what happens after death. African philosophy of religion has been neglected in this area. Not because it has nothing to say – but because we haven't been listening. Today, we'll be exploring this tradition – that is, African philosophy – on the meaning of life with Dr Aribiah David Attoe, Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. Dr Attoe has published several books – including The Question of Life's Meaning: An African Perspective, and African Perspectives to the Question of Life's Meaning – as well as numerous articles and special journal issues on today's topic, bringing these globally neglected traditions into dialogue with mainstream philosophy. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to live meaningfully with others – not merely alongside them. We'll ask how harmony differs from conformity, and whether communal ideals can protect outsiders. And, most importantly, we'll confront life and death head-on: whether it's possible to find meaning, and – if not – how we should live in a meaningless world. ___ This episode is produced in partnership with The Global Philosophy of Religion Project at University of Birmingham, funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

“You would not want to be me.” — Elon MuskYesterday I argued that Dario Amodei is the most interesting man in America because he's doing something nobody else has the balls to do: acting like a human being in public. Elon Musk is the opposite. He has the balls — nobody would deny that — but what's missing is the human-being. Or perhaps Elon is all-too-human, which explains why so many of us — including myself — loathe him.Charles Steel, a London investor, doesn't loathe Elon. In fact, he's self-published a book about him: The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently. Rather than an Elon hagiography, Steel insists, it's an attempt to explain why Musk admirers don't fully understand him, and the Hate-Elon crowd would probably loathe him for different reasons even if they had full navigation rights to his mind.As I said, I'm in the second camp. My dislike of Musk is political — the cosying up to Trump, the DOGE fiasco, the embrace of far-right groups, the transformation of Twitter into a safe space for misanthropes. But Steel makes a case that, in our therapeutic culture, might be harder for some to dismiss: Musk's “curious mind” is the product of childhood bullying, high-functioning autism, an abusive father, and an existential crisis resolved not by philosophy but by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Apparently Elon read Nietzsche and that, of course, only compounded his existential crisis. Probably because Nietzsche was warning us about a future dominated by philistines like Elon Musk.In navigating the Musk mind, Steel discovers three traits: hyper-rationality, existential angst, and belligerence. Lots of Silicon Valley founders have the first. Some have the second. Almost none have the third. The combination produces a man who genuinely believes that the scientific method — the right of anyone to criticize anything — is a secular religion, and that “wokeness” is a competing religion that must be destroyed. Whether or not you buy this self-serving argument, Steel might be right to stress a Musk worldview — even if that worldview is often childishly indefensible.I suggested to Steel that Musk is trapped in a Hobbesian state of nature — frozen alone, unable to read other people, incapable of separating himself from himself. A kind of naturally narcissistic state. This is what I most dislike about Elon. That he's normalizing this state of nature. Nietzsche might (like his contemporary disciple Peter Thiel) have called him the Anti-Christ. He's certainly the anti-Dario. Five Takeaways•       Musk Is the Anti-Dario: Amodei acts like a human being in public. Musk has the balls but what's missing is the human-being. Or perhaps he's all-too-human, which explains why so many of us loathe him. The contrast between them is the story of Silicon Valley in 2026.•       Steel's Case Is Harder to Dismiss Than You'd Think: Musk's “curious mind” is the product of childhood bullying, high-functioning autism, an abusive father, and an existential crisis resolved not by philosophy but by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He read Nietzsche and it made things worse. Probably because Nietzsche was warning us about philistines like Musk.•       Three Traits: Hyper-Rationality, Angst, and Belligerence: Lots of Silicon Valley founders have the first. Some have the second. Almost none have the third. The combination produces a man who believes the scientific method is a secular religion and wokeness is a competing one that must be destroyed. Whether or not you buy this self-serving argument, Steel might be right to stress a Musk worldview — even if it's often childishly indefensible.•       Trapped in a Hobbesian State of Nature: Musk is frozen alone, unable to read other people, incapable of separating himself from himself. A kind of naturally narcissistic state. What's most dangerous about Elon is that he's normalising this state of nature for the rest of us.•       The Anti-Christ and the Anti-Dario: Nietzsche might, like his contemporary disciple Peter Thiel, have called Musk the Anti-Christ. He's certainly the anti-Dario. The contrast between Amodei and Musk is the story of Silicon Valley — and perhaps America — in 2026. About the GuestCharles Steel is a London-based investor and writer. He has worked with Tony Blair and Save the Children. His book The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently is self-published and out now. His next project is on Albert Camus.References:•       The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently by Charles Steel — the book under discussion.•       Episode 2835: Why Dario Amodei Might Be the 21st Century's First Real Leader — yesterday's TWTW, the direct counterpoint.•       Zero to One by Peter Thiel — referenced by Steel on Asperger-like traits and Silicon Valley success.•       The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams — the book Musk credits with resolving his existential crisis.•       The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus — Steel's next project, and the question he'd most like to discuss with Musk.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In this episode, Jeremiah and E are discussing Albert Camus and the Myth of Sisyphus.  Though life does not inherently owe us meaning, meaning can still be found, nonetheless.  The tension between what we want and what we get can lead to suffering, but it can also be the key to freeing us.As always, thank you for listening along with us.  If you'd like to know more about the podcast or if you'd like to connect with us, please visit our website at https://goodtotalk.co.
