In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Alex Rosenberg joins our host Boomer Anderson to give one-cent solutions to life's $64,000 questions that include:   What are the definitions of scientism and naturalism? Is there such a thing as free will, and if so, what implications does it have on the search for purpose in life? What is nice nihilism?   Alex Rosenberg is an American philosopher and novelist. He is the R. Taylor Cole Professor of Philosophy at Duke University, and is well known for contributions in the philosophy of biology, as well as the philosophy of economics. He has also written several books, including "The Atheist's Guide to Reality: Enjoying Life without Illusions" and "Philosophy of Science: A Contemporary Introduction." What we discuss: [00:00] Fundamental laws of physics are time symmetrical [06:53] Naturalism requires letting go of everyday reality and embracing science. [13:43] The second law of thermodynamics governs the emergence of organized adaptive systems. [20:31] The content of conscious thought is an illusion. [27:25] Self-help industry is exploiting people's credulity. [34:10] Our continual dissatisfaction is a result of natural selection. [40:58] Do we have free will? [47:34] Nice nihilism is the doctrine that most of us behave in ways that are satisfying to the emotional responses of others. [54:10] Living in the moment may not lead to happiness [1:00:53] Seek professional advice driven by science for living smarter.

Alex Rosenberg is professor of Philosophy at Duke University and has made several important contributions to the philosophy of science, biology, and social science.

Alex Rosenberg-Rigutto could not be defined by a single metric, maybe other than to say that her joy and zest for life are definitively contagious. In this incredible episode, Alex details the arc of her life and her journey to farming, stopping along the way to explore important aspects of what makes us human from our interaction with our environments to the importance of every day ritual. Kate and Alex explore the impacts of being medicated as children and how formative experiences shaped their idea of discipline, laying the ground work for a big conversation about the ‘Discipline/Pleasure' axis. Alex shares about how her experiences with addiction led her to farming and teases out an important difference in how we seek to re-create various environments when, really, we are trying to find connection. Throughout the episode are themes of dissolving boundaries, finding a place outside of the small box society often puts on us, and building skills on the farm, in the kitchen, and beyond.

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Hank Unplugged podcast, reflects on an opinion piece in the Charlotte Observer, “Church Vandalism Is Soaring; Here's Why We All Should Care.” The article begins with the words “Satan lives here”—these hateful words, along with graffiti and swastikas, spray-painted on a Cathedral in Denver. We are shocked, as we should be, when we read about such incidences. But as vandalism of this nature becomes increasingly commonplace, the shock wears off. The authors suggest that 2021 will set a record for hate crimes, as “religiously motivated attacks” increase. Why? The authors posit the Christian opposition to abortion as one motivation for such attacks. We shouldn't be surprised. Karl Marx wrote, “The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.” A rank materialist, Marx believed that “the physical facts fix all the facts” (as the atheist philosopher Alex Rosenberg pithily puts it). But Marx was wrong—Christianity is not an illusion. When you look at the heavens you see God's “eternal power and divine nature,” and in seeing that, as Paul wrote, we are “without excuse” (Romans 1:20). Christians must become equipped to exercise truth and experience life. See Samuel J. Aquila and Tim Busch, “Church Vandalism Is Soaring; Here's Why We All Should Care,” Charlotte Observer, November 21, 2021, https://www.pressreader.com/similar/281779927385288

Art publisher and appraiser Alex Rosenberg reminisces about his long life and relations with notable artistic and political figures as well as his involvement with Cuba and Israel.

Many popular atheists are very confident in what they assert to be true. However, not everything they say actually makes sense. This book sheds light on 36 statements made by atheists of the present and the past - Sam Harris, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, Alex Rosenberg, Richard Dawkins, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Bertrand Russell - to name a few. While deconstructing their statements in light of evidence and reason, the case for theism grows. It's further supported by the stories of former atheists who changed their minds.  There is a new breed of atheist in town. They're intelligent, vocal, and sometimes very aggressive. They communicate with boldness and conviction, but are they correct? Many of them are well-known and highly regarded, but does everything they say really make sense? Is their case for atheism sound? This book addresses thirty-six of the most common things atheists say when they challenge people of faith. After examining what prominent atheists passionately proclaim, in light of evidence and reason, it seems the case for God's existence emerges stronger than ever. Patrick Prill is passionate about theism - that God exists. He is also passionate about family and business. It is, after all, possible to be passionate about more than one thing. Patrick earned a MA in Theology and a MA in Church History from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He also earned a BBA in Economics from the University of Memphis. He's been active in advancing the case for Christian theism and has partnered with college ministries for years. Among them are CRU, InterVarsity, Rutgers United, Chi Alpha, Young Life and Ratio Christi. Since retiring, he has increased his involvement in teaching, writing and helping campus ministries.​ Before retiring, Patrick was Managing Director, Partner, Chief Information Officer, COO and Executive Committee member of some of the world's premier investment firms. He was also President and Board Member of a leading hedge fund and private equity fund administrator.

In the middle of 2019, Netflix launched a show called Blown Away, which is a competition show for glass artists. The promos looked terrific and I think Adrianne and I were hooked from pretty much the first episode. We binged the whole season and it became sort of our go to recommendation for our Netflix-watching friends. I even reached out to Alex Rosenberg, one of the contestants on the show, who I sat down with for an episode of Process Driven.Fast forward to the beginning of this year when Netflix finally released season two of Blown Away and for the next ten episodes, Adrianne and I were right back in the hot shop with a new group of artists. And just like with season one, I know I wanted to talk to one of the contestants and I knew exactly who I wanted it to be. Both Adrianne and I were fans of Elliot Walker straight away. There was just something about his demeanor in the shop, not to mention that we absolutely loved what he made on the show. I really resonated with his approach to the materials, and the sense of humor he brought to the pieces he was making. I also really connected with how he spoke about his partner Bethany, who is not only his girlfriend, but also his assistant, his muse, and the curator of their gallery, Blowfish Glass.And just so you know, this conversation does contain spoilers. So if you haven't seen season two, consider yourself warned. LINKSBlown Away on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80215147Blown Away on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9908860/?ref_=ttep_ep_ttAlexander Rosenberg on Process Driven: https://jefferysaddoris.com/everything/processdriven-28/ CONNECT WITH ELLIOT AND BETHANYGallery: https://www.blowfishglassart.comWebsite: http://ewalkerglassart.co.ukInstagram (Elliot): @ewalkerglassartInstagram (Bethany): @bethjadewood CONNECT WITH MEWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comTwitter: @jefferysaddorisInstagram: @jefferysaddoris MUSICReconciled by Sean WilliamsNormalize by Stanley GurvichPlease Listen Carefully by Jahzzar (CC BY-SA 4.0)Music featured in this episode is licensed from Artlist, which is a terrific music licensing platform for YouTubers and filmmakers.

Duke University professor and philosopher Alex Rosenberg began an essay on Scientism with a series of questions and his answers: Is there a God? No. What is the nature of reality? What physics says it is.  What is the purpose of the universe? There is none.  What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? Just dumb luck.  Does prayer work? Of course not.  Is there a soul? Is it immortal? Are you kidding?  Is there free will? Not a chance!  What happens when we die? Everything pretty much goes on as before, except us. What is the difference between right and wrong, good or Bad? There is no moral difference between them.  Is abortion, euthanasia, suicide, paying taxes, foreign aid, or anything else you don't like forbidden, permissible, or sometimes obligatory? Anything goes.  Does history have any meaning or purpose? It's full of sound and fury, but signifies nothing.  At this year's Wyoming School of Catholic Thought, Dr. Tiffany Shubert began by talking about the Medieval cosmos, a cosmos full of meaning, harmony, and truth. And last week's After Dinner Scholar podcast was her lecture about the Medieval cosmos. Next, we held a seminar discussing Alex Rosenberg's essay “Scientism Versus the Theory of Mind” with its opening series of questions and answers. Before the seminar began, to avoid unnecessary intellectual whiplash, Dr. Jim Tonkowich spoke about how we got from a reality filled with the presence of God and with purpose to Rosenberg's comment that, “Reality is the forsightless play of fermions and bosons producing the illusion of purpose.”

'Is Faith in God Reasonable?' A wonderful 2013 debate between William Lane Craig and Alex Rosenberg.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast from (06/16/20), Hank continues his discussion on racism, riots, and radicalism, which are three things that he considers the ripened fruit of educational indoctrination. An article Hank read this morning in USA Today seems to justify the looting of rioters, with quotes saying “some looters were undoubtedly expressing frustration or trying to even a score,” “The motive for looting may have been racial solidarity rather than self-indulgence,” and that “looters were delivering a message and thus griping about looting during demonstrations is like complaining about thunder in a summer storm.” All of this adds up to a not so subtle rationalization of raiding, ransacking, and robbery as a legitimate expression of racial solidarity. The issue of right or wrong was notably missing from the article, because as the famed biologist and philosopher Alex Rosenberg has been telling students and readers for decades, “in a world where physics fixes all the facts, it's hard to see how there can be room for moral facts.” “Our core morality isn't true, right, correct, and neither is any other. Nature just seduced us into thinking it's right.”Hank also answers the following questions:Do you have some information on the Black Hebrew Israelite group that calls themselves the Star of David?Is it wrong for a woman to host an open Bible study that may have men in it?When the Israelites rebelled against God, God said to Moses that He would wipe them out. Moses argued against it and said that God should take him as well. Why do we not have the same mentality as Moses with respect to those who are going to be eternally condemned?

Authors on the Air presents Alex Rosenberg, historical thriller author and philosophy professor at Duke University. The Intrigues of Jennie Lee: A gripping and evocative story of love, politics, betrayal and bravery, which reimagines events of the interwar years. Jennie Lee was elected to parliament aged just twenty-four, five years too young even to vote in 1929 Britain. From the Labour backbenches, she hurled barbs and bolts of thunder at the likes of Winston Churchill, Lady Astor, even her own party’s Prime Minister, Ramsay McDonald. The novel intertwines real events with a personal story involving Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, the future Queen Mother; the womanizing fascist Oswald Mosley; the Great War prime minister Lloyd-George; and the radical Labour MP Aneurin Bevan. A series of political and intimate intrigues turn history into thriller when Jennie has the chance to radically change the course of history for Britain, Europe and the world. '...marvellous in so many ways… About Alex Rosenberg: Alex's latest novel is a political thriller. Jennie Lee was a member of the British parliament elected at the age of 24, five years too young even to vote for herself. Starting with the real person, "The Intrigues of Jennie Lee" takes Jennie through personal and political crises turning real events into murder mysteries that change the course of European history. Before he became a novelist Alex wrote many books about philosophy. These books were mainly addressed to other academics. But in 2011 Alex published a book that explores the answers science gives to the big questions of philosophy that thinking people ask themselves--questions about the nature of reality, the meaning of life, moral values, free will, the relationship of the mind to the brain, and our human future. @copyrighted

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (06/15/20), Hank opens with a question: what do racism, riots, and radicalism have in common? The answer, says Hank, is that all three are the ripened fruit of decades of educational indoctrination. As such, Hank would like to discuss all three on future editions of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, starting today with racism. Racism has been institutionalized by the American Educational System, with Darwin's evolutionary paradigm being “the only game in town.” The implications of Darwin's evolutionary paradigm may be self-evident but it bears elaboration for the uninitiated. In the famed volume, The Descent of Man, Darwin makes explicit that his notorious subtitle, The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life, applies to human races. Not only is this Darwinian paradigm the only game in town, but according to Dr. Alex Rosenberg's Atheist's Guide to Reality, “95 percent of the most distinguished scientists in America (along with their foreign associate members) have employed it to dispense with God.” To dispense with the very being who created humanity in His image and likeness—thus bestowing upon every man, woman, and child, intrinsic worth and absolute equality.

We humans love to tell ourselves stories about why things happened the way they did; if the stories are sufficiently serious, we label this activity "history." Part of getting history right is simply an accurate recounting of the facts, but part of it is generally taken to be some kind of explanation about why. How much should we trust these explanations? This is a question with philosophical implications as well as historical ones, and philosopher Alex Rosenberg's new book How History Gets Things Wrong claims that we should basically not trust them at all. It's not that we get the facts wrong, it's that we have wrong ideas about causality and how the human mind works, and we can't help but import these wrong ideas to our beliefs about history. Alex and I dig into how this claim arises naturally from a certain way that naturalists should think about the world. Alex Rosenberg is the R. Taylor Cole Professor of Philosophy at Duke University, with secondary appointments in biology and political science. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the Lakatos Award for the best book in the philosophy of science. Rosenberg is the author of numerous books and articles on philosophical aspects of various subjects, including biology, cognitive science, economics, history, causation, and atheism. He has also written two novels, The Girl from Krakow and Autumn in Oxford.

This lecture opens by exploring the relation between religion and morality, looking at some issues raised by writers such as Iris Murdoch and C. S. Lewis, including whether ethics can be "read off" nature, and whether some transcendent ground is necessary for ethics. We consider whether science is able to offer a firm basis for morality, engaging recent works such as Sam Harris's Landscape of Faith (2010), and Alex Rosenberg's The Atheist's Guide to Reality (2011).The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/religion-morality-and-meaning-how-do-we-know-whats-right-to-doGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Since he has converted most of his daily desktop usage to PC-BSD, he is specifically wanting support for some desktop applications. Namely Google hangouts and Spotify. This is something which has come up periodically among the PC-BSD community. At the moment most users are dual-booting or using alternatives, like WebRTC. However the Google Hangouts plugin is available for Linux, and perhaps this will encourage some developers to see if we can get it running with the newer Linux stack on -CURRENT. Spotify also has a native Linux version, which may need testing on FreeBSD - CURRENT. It may be closer now, and should be updated on the Wanted Ports Page https://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts *** Hard Float API coming soon by default to armv6 (http://bsdimp.blogspot.com/2015/12/hard-float-api-coming-soon-by-default.html) Warner Losh talks about upcoming changes to armv6 on FreeBSD “All the CPUs that FreeBSD supports have hard floating point in them. We've supported hard float for quite some time in the FreeBSD kernel. However, by default, we still use a soft-float ABI.” First, “A new armv6hf (architecture) was created, but that caused some issues with some ports, and the meaning of 'soft float' sadly was ambiguous between the soft-float ABI, and the soft-float libraries that implement floating point when there's no hardware FPU” “Over the spring and summer, I fixed ld.so so that it can load both soft ABI and hard ABI libraries on the same system, depending on markings in the binaries themselves. Soft float ABI and hard float ABI binaries have different flags in the ELF headers, so it is relatively straightforward to know which is which.” “So, in the coming days, I'll commit the first set of changes to move to armv6 as a hard float ABI by default. The kernel doesn't care: it can execute both. The new ld.so will allow you to transition through this change by allowing old, compat soft ABI libraries to co-exist on the system with new hard ABI libraries.

With the recent global economic crisis, many people wonder if our economic policies are built on sound principles or on dubious, unscientific claims. What kinds of assumptions does Economics make about markets and the behavior of producers and consumers? What kinds of assumptions does it make about the rationality of individuals? How, if at all, are those claims empirically verified? Or are they just speculative theories proven false by the current crisis? John and Ken pursue their rational self-interest with Alex Rosenberg from Duke University, author of "Economics: Mathematical Politics or Science of Diminishing Returns?"

Alex Rosenberg is an intensivist with more of an obsession with all things cardiac, but his experience in a large neuro ICU made him well placed to discuss the interaction between cerebral perfusion pressure, vasopressors and cardiac output. This is an important neuro topic that is relevant to anyone who looks after patients with injured brains. This is sadly the last talk from BCC3, but don't get too depressed - you can always join us this year in Cairns, or wait for those talks to come out on ICN, and there's always the torrent of superb free media that is flowing out from the smacc conference.

Alex Rosenberg is an Intensivist who was working in a transplant centre last year. He gave this talk on immunosupression at last year's Bedside Critical Care Conference and managed to make a fairly dry subject seem understandable and relevant.

Alex Rosenberg of Duke University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the scientific nature of economics. Rosenberg, a philosopher of science talks about whether economics is a science. He surveys the changes in economics over the last 25 years--the rise of experimental economics and behavioral economics--and argues that economics has become more scientific and that economists have become more aware of flaws in economic theory. But he also argues that economics is unable to make precise predictions about the effects of various changes in policy and behavior. The conversation closes with a discussion of the role the philosophy of science can play in the evolution of economics.
