At the New Jersey state supreme court, all of the justices seem to get along–even though they maintain a 4-3 partisan split in their ranks. The unique system, based on an unwritten rule that the governor will select justices and maintain a 4-3 balance politically, leads to an extraordinary amount of agreement among the justices. And attorneys like it, too. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, senior correspondent Alex Ebert talks about how the New Jersey Supreme Court maintains its system when so many state supreme courts have become partisan battlegrounds, and how attorneys prepare to argue in this unusual environment.

In the legal profession, admitting one's own cognitive or mental weakness is a huge taboo. That made it all the more remarkable when Richard Bernstein, a sitting Michigan Supreme Court Justice, announced earlier this year that he was temporarily stepping down to seek treatment for depression. Bernstein was already an extraordinary jurist. He was born fully blind, but overcame his disability to not only graduate from law school but go on to be elected a judge. But stepping away from the bench and publicly admitting he needed treatment might have been the most difficult obstacle he has had to overcome in his career. Bloomberg Law reporter Alex Ebert spoke to Bernstein about his decision and about what this could mean for his future. Ebert joins our weekly news podcast, On The Merits, to talk about Bernstein and about why the legal profession lags behind the rest of society in accepting mental health struggles.

He is an Golden Globe winning composer for the Robert Redford movie "All is lost". But most of all, Ebert is also a pretty deep and fascinating thinker and philosopher.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Alex Ebert joins LaunchLeft and launches Try. Is there such a thing as a “happy accident?” Can a human fail in ways AI cannot? Tune in for thoughtful conversation with Rain, Alex and Sam i + Shmuck the Loyal from Try. Try music was born during the pandemic, and you will hear about their new, innovative, and creative process. Listen to the end to hear Try's music and the full lively conversation between these award winning artists. IN THIS EPISODE: [01:49] Alex describes what drew him to New Orleans [05:03] Alex gives the definition of AI, the limitless possibilities of AI and what artists need to do to stay a step ahead.  [16:12] Sam i and Shmuck the Loyal began their collaboration during the pandemic.  [18:33] Shmuck describes the process of working remotely and how they took advantage of what most would say is a disadvantaged situation.  [22:25] Humans can work within limitations, and AI cannot. That allows for happy accidents.  [23:21] Shmuck and Sam i reveal their new project and speak about the unusual process of producing their music.  [27:34] How music and legacy have changed for Alex and Sam i after having children.  [34:41] Sam i and Shmuck talk about the fun and joy of making music.  [39:50] The music of Try.  KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Artists are fallible, whereas AI is not.

Welcome to my special 50th episode of my Fearless Media podcast - a special one indeed. I recently hosted an AI-focused round table with guests that included Grammy award-winning artist and musician Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe), AI artist and data scientist Aya, metaverse creator and influencer Don Allen Stevensen III, and IP attorney and expert Mike Kasdan. The Q&A actually begins at the 6:44 mark after initial introductions. We discussed the Artist, Creator, Business and Legal implications of it all - and perhaps most importantly, the "Human" implications of it all - in a lively discussion that gets very "real" about how AI impacts all of our jobs and our lives in the Creative Arts (not to mention life in general). Critically, the panel goes deep into the very meaning of "Art" and "Creativity" itself and whether AI ultimately de-values creativity and leads to a morass of artistic mediocrity and conformity. Reach out to me, Peter Csathy, with your own stories about this topic - and check out my tech-forward legal and business advisory services firm at creativemedia.biz. I work with leading players in the brave new tech-forward media and entertainment worlds of AI and Web3, among others.

A trial is currently underway against the former speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives over allegations he accepted millions in bribes. But he says the money was political speech protected by the First Amendment - and that he has Supreme Court cases to back him up. One case, 2010's Citizens United vs. FEC, reversed longstanding campaign finance restrictions as violating the First Amendment. Today, former Ohio speaker Larry Householder's trial is a test of how money works in politics in a post-Citizens United world. If Householder is ultimately acquitted, it may set a new precedent for just how far prosecutors must go to win a political corruption case. On this episode of our weekly legal news podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law correspondent Alex Ebert explains how Householder got in this legal trouble in the first place and also why his novel defense is worrying some campaign finance watchdogs.

w. Alexander Bard - Alex Ebert -Thomas Hamelryck - O.G.

Attendees include Alexander Bard, OG Rose, Alex Ebert, Thomas Hamelryck, Daniel Fraga, and Raven Connolly. `What is Parallax Sangha? Parallax Sangha is a digital classroom and living community dedicated to studying, practising, and contemplating matters of the soul and psyche. We are a network of friends, writers, teachers, and podcasters offering online study circles, classes, and offline events all over Europe. Apply for parallax sangha here: https://parallax-media.eu/parallax-sangha Intellectual Deep Web. The Intellectual Deep Web is a forum founded by Alexander Bard and Peter Limberg. Layman Pascal has described it thus: The Intellectual Deep Web (a name that parodies and transcends the notorious ""intellectual dark web"") is a contingent of high-powered neo-philosophers lurking at the edges of the so-called Emerge field. They are voracious, combative, obscenely well-read, performative, enticing, offputting, fast & deeply attuned to the leading edges of technosocial, occult, spiritual, psychoanalytic and cultural unfoldment. Their vision of upgrade in a time between worlds is a Dark Renaissance. This concept takes archaic futurism, technophilia, phallic vigor, immanent transcendence, interactivity, emergent informational worldviews, artistry, metalocalism and emergent religion and combines all that with an intoxicating affirmation of negation, dissonance, abysses and exclusionary boundaries. Oh, and don't forget their deep skepticism about the unprocessed sexual and aggressive tendencies that might be locking the rest of us into a toothless and doomed utopianism. https://www.whatisemerging.com/profiles/what-the-hell-is-a-dark-renaissance --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podcast-c709ee4/message

It does not get more bad ass than this week's guest, the incredible Alex White. Alex is former professional skateboarder, current brand and team manager for Krux, the Women's and Non-Binary Rider Relations Manager at NHS, a TV commentator and the first female Olympic Judge for Skateboarding. During the pandemic, brands scrambled to meet a monstrous appetite for skateboards and accessories, with girls being a huge part of this upsurge in interest. Alex shares her own stories of self-discovery through the sport and the impact it has had in her life, as we discuss artists ranging from La Roux, Le Tigre, Alex Ebert, Bikini Kill, Coolio.

This podcast has highlighted many long-standing issues with New Age spirituality and the dark side of “good vibes only,” but according to today's returning guest, rockstar philosopher Alex Ebert, dunking on the New Age has become boring and there is much that is still valuable and relevant from its perspective and rituals. On the show we begin with a review of the issues with spiritual communities from the dark side of manifestation to how toxic positivity functions like cancer. Alex explains how the critique of New Agism can become its own shtick. He shares his experience with meditation, heroin addiction and death rituals. We discuss the issue of the antifragile ego and how language is the raw material for subjective reality. Finally we end with an exploration of what is still valuable from New Age spirituality from psychedelics to new ideas of gender. Alex Ebert, famous troubadour from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros now shares a philosophical substack called Bad Guru where he explore these and other timely topics.

An experimental session welcoming the musician and philosopher Alex Ebert, known by many as the singer-songwriter for Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, and increasingly among a network of thinkers and philosophers seeking to understand the shifting dynamics and possibilities of the paradigms which underlie our cultural moment. Held in the Voicecraft Network, the essence of this session sought to co-create a context that draws out the lived and living journey of a particular person, and in so doing, connect with the significance a particular voice is drawn to share with the whole. That is, a collective process whereby the group seeks to welcome the daimōn, the soul or genius of a person, to transmit the gift of their learning, perception, and expression, to a gathered community or network context.

Meet Juan Tigre, the bilingual alt-rock alter-ego of guitarist/vocalist John Maestas. Inspired by the iconic high desert imagery of New Mexico and imbued with the expansive folklore of the southwest. Psychedelic distorted guitars float over a video game sound palette with rhythms & melodies that draw upon influences from J Dilla, Jimi Hendrix, Pixies and Thundercat. Based in New Orleans, Maestas has become well known locally for his guitar and production talents through his work with Nicholas Payton, Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah, Alex Ebert, Papa Jon Gros, Fiend, Elzhi, and Nesby Phips. Juan Tigre's debut album ‘The Dream Catcher' was released April 17th, 2020 and established the band as a new voice in the alt-rock scene. The upcoming album ‘Azúl Arriba, Blue Below' is a collection of ambient instrumental songs set for release on May 13th, 2022.

The fourth of four explorations into the philosophy of lack w/ philosophers Cadell Last, Alex Ebert, O.G. Rose & Tim Adalin. Streamed live Feb 21 2022. Although the final of the series, it's a great place to begin if you haven't caught the first three. Access Philosophy of Lack III (unposted to RSS), the series shownotes, and streamed video @ https://www.voicecraft.io/lack Episode Abstract written by Cadell:

Alex is the lead of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Daniel is the Head of Curriculum at the Monastic Academy in Vermont. I got these two together to jam on the dark side of modern spirituality, and more specifically, the shadows behind mindfulness, meditation and eastern spirituality practices in the west. It is an incredible dialogue between these two, one that I did my best to stay out of the way of. We talk about Westernized Buddhism, spirituality in a capitalistic paradigm, transcending the fear of death, industrial strength meditation, Jordan Hall, status anxiety and so much more.

Alex Ebert is lead singer, songwriter and resident shaman of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, the hippie-inspired outfit that broke out in 2009 with a fresh sound that was difficult to pin down. Via his alter-ego messiah character Edward Sharpe, Ebert and the Magnetic Zeros' breakout single and signature song across four albums is, of course, "Home." An ebullient and endearing anthem of love and pure joy, the song has become iconic thanks to its instantly recognizable whistles and indelible opening lyric, "Alabama, Arkansas/ I do love my ma and pa." But the veneer of joy on "Home" hides an underlying truth: Ebert used Edward Sharpe to rise above his own personal demons. And out of that reality, Ebert later penned his solo song “Truth” – from his first solo album, Alexander – to set the record straight to his fans as a companion piece to "Home." Ebert joined host Peter Csathy for the 10th episode of The Story Behind the Song podcast to discuss his classic "Home." He takes listeners through the inspirations to the production (including that spoken-word ode to Castrinos), and reveals how the darker realities underpinning "Truth" connect to that original hit. Along the way, Ebert's candid, raw conversation reveals his musical journey from rapper to spiritual "Bad Guru" (the name of his philosophy and spirituality newsletter).

On this episode of “Death in The Garden”, Jake and Maren share their interview with Dr. Tro Kalayjian, a board certified Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine Physician. He co-hosts the podcast Low Carb MD. Dr. Tro had a long journey of obesity throughout his life and career as a physician, and was finally able to tackle obesity and lose 150 lbs with a low-carb diet. Now he treats patients using an incredibly holistic model, remotely monitoring his patients biometrics with CGMs and other technologies that allow him to see clearly the complexity of each individual's needs. Find out more about his practice here. We talk with Tro about the journey he took from following all of the nutritional guidelines, yet failing to manage his obesity, where he decided to get into the weeds of the research himself and found that a low-carb animal based diet was the most effective diet in reversing diabetes and obesity – even though that didn't conform with the mainstream narratives of “eat less, move more” or being plant-based. We talk about the importance of animal foods in diet, the fallacy of “calories in, calories out”, the true culprit of obesity and diabetes - processed foods with high amounts of sugar and vegetable oils (not meat and eggs like animal rights activists want us to believe), and why the medical industry so often fails at helping people lose weight.

Five years later, in 2014, she won the Best Documentary Award and the Bricker Humanitarian Award from the Student Emmy Awards in 2014. On October 11, 2016, Schlosberg was arrested while filming protesters of the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline in Walhalla, North Dakota. She was charged with conspiracy to theft of property, conspiracy to theft of services and conspiracy to tampering with or damaging a public service. Within two days, film director Josh Fox wrote an open letter to US President Barack Obama calling for her release; the letter was co-signed by thirty celebrities, including Neil Young, Mark Ruffalo, Daryl Hannah, Frances Fisher, and Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Josh Fox commented, “They have in my view violated the First Amendment. It's fucking scary, it knocks the wind of your sails, it throws you for a loop. They threw the book at Deia for being a journalist.” Subsequently, she co-produced Lindsey Grayzel's 2018 film, The Reluctant Radical, about one of the protesters involved with the protest action. Deia also co-produced the documentary Awake, A Dream from Standing Rock in 2017. In 2019, Schlosberg premiered the documentary The Story of Plastic, her feature directorial debut created in partnership with the Story of Stuff organization.

The film was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Documentary in 2021.

He and Gregg then sync this up with UTOK, especially the iQuad coin, memes, and the upcoming singularity.

In today's episode, Alexandra speaks with Alex Ebert!You may know Alex from the band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, or on Instagram as Bad Guru. Alex has been bringing so many incredible philosophical conversations into the space of wellness and new ageism and we are so excited to have him on the show today.In this episode, you'll discover:Ideas and discussion on how the modern interpretation of the ‘law of attraction' in much of the mainstream wellness industry's teachings is centered around capitalism and has actually created the idea of no longer resonating with interconnectivity.The difference between the idea of mastering life vs. letting life master you.Examples of spiritual bypassing in the mainstream wellness and new age industry's teachings, and how creating a declaration and acknowledgement of our interconnectedness in the universe can help us heal this level of bypassing.Ideas on how the antidote to the mainstream's spiritualization of selfishness lies within reintegrating death rituals and safe spaces for ourselves and our communities to confront our mortality and shadow selves, in order to bring our neurosis (behavior, beliefs) back into the light.How we can sometimes invent challenges or hardships to solve, in order to continue to advance as a human being throughout our lifetime, and how that can really form us in becoming who we are and how we interact and relate to life.And so much more.

"No one really knows why they're alive until they know what they would die for." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Death plays an essential role in the cycle of creativity. There's no light without darkness and there's no life without death. The most beautiful gardens grow from rich and dirty compost. As a society, we regularly try to cheat death and avoid discomfort but we're really just cheating ourselves of the opportunity to feel, grieve, fear, rage, fall, fail, learn, and eventually grow -- all necessary steps along the path to creating something meaningful. Alex Ebert is constantly creating. He makes music and art, designs apps, writes books, founded a nonprofit, and even made a film, which we'll discuss in this episode. He's also pretty comfortable with discomfort and facing his own mortality. Find out about how these things are all related in our conversation here. And enjoy. 3:01 -- Creation and mortality, the role of gratitude 12:00 -- Truth, raw humanity, and the crucible 25:04 -- Different understandings of death, rites of passage, ritual and society 40:49 -- "Losing is learning", the initiation of parenthood

Caring about what other people think of us isn't just societally conditioned, it's biologically programmed thanks to the way humans have evolved over time. We feel we need to fit in, we need to be accepted, in order to be successful. But arguably the most creative people on our planet have done just the opposite: they come up with original ideas totally independent of what other people may think. They face (or disregard) fears of critique and rejection in order to bring forward something truly inspired. Inspiration may come from within, or from the great and mysterious beyond, but  -- as Alex Ebert describes here -- GREAT works of art or science NEVER come from following the herd. Please enjoy this brilliant interview about the courage to create. 4:00 — Review of Celestial Archeology 7:30 — Search for truth and authenticity 14:02 — Driven by meaning 26:26 — The role of social anxiety in keeping us small and divided 34:25 — Facing the fear to create something great 43:33 — Away from social anxiety towards social care and trust in humanity

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros landed into the scene with their song ‘Home'. It was all over the radio, on soundtracks to films, you still hear it on TV advertisements. It was in 2012 that I asked Jade Castrinos and Alex Ebert from the band in to Take 5. They were wrapping up a huge tour with Mumford & Sons, and made some time to come by and share their songs from the road. Their song list was brilliant, so get ready for a perfect road trip soundtrack. Alabama Shakes - ‘Hold On' JAY-Z - ‘Young Forever {Ft. Mr. Hudson}' Willie Nelson - ‘On the Road Again' The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?? The Beatles - ‘Two Of Us'

Alex Ebert is best known as the founder and lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. You have probably heard (and danced to) the song, Home. You may have seen the band perform on late-night TV, or heard them front line at a music festival. Alex also wrote the screenplay to Robert Redford's film, All is Lost, for which he won an Emmy, and also for A Most Violent Year. People have always found it incredibly difficult to pigeonhole Alex or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Some people try to say it's '70s retro... But no, that doesn't quite fit, nor does indie, or folk, or any of the other labels. In my opinion, that's because Alex is creating, originally and authentically, without imitation. That's what we mean by Radical Brilliance. In this podcast, you'll hear about his creative process, how Alex reaches out into a realm beyond human understanding and brings back little fragments from there, rather like archeology, until an entire skeleton has been assembled and becomes alive. Enjoy reflections on authentic and original creativity from an authentically and original artist... 5:15 -- A formula for transcending the moment / Celestial Archeology / Forcing oneself into freedom 14:01 -- Making a messiah 23:10 -- Art and the state of the world / Looking for the gaps in the artistic fabric of society / Being of artistic service / Radical earnesty 33:40 -- The best way to eradicate brilliance 41:52 --  Performance enhancements 52:44 -- Supplements “Daddy” will not allow / Creating a crucible / the arc of self-realization / Having transcendent experiences like its no big deal 65:54 -- What's the soil in which Brilliance can bear fruit / Rushing - Getting to the Right Now / Meet the idea as soon as it arrives 83:07 -- What my breath away / Taking chances / Eschewing everything that shackles you from your truest most potent self / Taking away the safety net
