Podcasts about Alienation

In this episode, Russell Moore, editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, joins Mark Labberton to discuss the seismic political, moral, cultural, and spiritual crises facing American evangelicalism and how to respond. Reflecting on his own journey from the Southern Baptist Convention to his current role, Moore offers a candid and theologically rich diagnosis of a movement he describes as simultaneously fragmented, bored, and longing for renewal. Drawing parallels to historical awakenings and moments of global upheaval, Moore challenges listeners to consider what faithful Christian witness looks like in a time of digital saturation, political idolatry, and ecclesial disillusionment. Together, they wrestle with how evangelical institutions can resist becoming co-opted by market forces or ideologies, and instead return to the soul of the gospel—Jesus himself. Episode Highlights “We simply want Jesus as revealed in scripture.” (Russell Moore) “The good news is so clouded with distorted noise.” (Mark Labberton) “You mistakenly think that the solution has to be at the same scale as the problem.” (Wendall Berry, cited by Russell Moore) “Every person has to have an act of willful excommunication.” (Nicholas Carr, cited by Russell Moore) “Christian Nationalism is like ‘Bizarro Evangelicalism' … i f you can get external conformity, then you have righteousness.” (Russell Moore) Karl Barth on Christian disillusionment during World War I: “We  we want to preach the gospel as though nothing has happened.” … “ He's saying the church is being co-opted and used by forces alien to it. And there have to be people who are free from that to actually appeal to the genuine gospel and to remind people that God is God.” About Russell Moore Russell Moore is Editor in Chief of Christianity Today and is the author of Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America (Penguin Random House). The Wall Street Journal has called Moore “vigorous, cheerful, and fiercely articulate.” He was named in 2017 to Politico Magazine's list of top fifty influence-makers in Washington, and has been profiled by such publications as the New York Times, the Washington Post, TIME Magazine, **and the New Yorker. An ordained Baptist minister, Moore served previously as President of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and, before that, as the chief academic officer and dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he also taught theology and ethics. Moore was a Fellow at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics and currently serves on the board of the Becket Law and as a Senior Fellow with the Trinity Forum in Washington, D.C. He also hosts the weekly podcast The Russell Moore Show and is co-host of Christianity Today's weekly news and analysis podcast, The Bulletin. Russell was President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention from 2013 to 2021. Prior to that role, Moore served as provost and dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, where he also taught theology and ethics. A native Mississippian, he and his wife Maria are the parents of five sons. They live in Nashville, where he teaches the Bible regularly at their congregation, Immanuel Church. Show Notes Comparing Christianity Today and Fuller Theological Seminary Religious reconsiderations post-World War II “My grandfather was blown out of a tank by the Nazis in the Battle of the Bulge and came back. He went an unbeliever, came back really feeling his mortality and, and searching for answers. And ended up at a revival meeting where he came to know Christ.” A false choice presented to Christians: “You had this false choice being presented to Christians … you either go with an ever narrowing, ever quarrelsome sort of group of fundamentalists or you liberalize.” Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, Jr. The recent history of Evangelical Christianity A Movement in Crisis: What is the state of Evangelicalism in America? Revival preachers and entrepreneurialism: a religious, market-driven reality “Lifelessness and deadness” “ I can't think of a single church that has split over Christology. Most of the arguments have to do with politics and, and related sort of cultural issues because that's what people really care about and what they really think often is important.” Tumult of the digital economy Alienation, dehumanization: “We can simultaneously think of ourselves as gods and as sets of data and algorithms.” Speed of change and life Teaching ethics: a final exam question students have never thought about How to prepare people for ethical problems and real-life challenges Mental health crisis: “high rates of depression and anxiety driven by a piece of glass that everybody carries in his or her pocket that can connect that person with all of the information in the entire world.” 100 years since the invention and use of the microphone No microphones, but extraordinary voices “The dials are askew, because the sound that evangelicalism is evoking in so many quadrants is a sound that is hostile and grading and brash and arrogant.” “The good news is so clouded with distorted noise.” Secularization How Evangelicalism appeals to people: End Times Prophecy, Marriage and Family Values, and Shocking Attention-Grabbing “Real life takes on the characteristics of the internet.” Wendall Berry: “You mistakenly think that the solution has to be at the same scale as the problem.” Can you give us some hope? “Hope that is seen is not hope. Instead, there's suffering that creates endurance. Endurance that creates character, character that creates hope, and hope does not put to shame.” Ezekiel and the valley of the dry bones What is the work of Christianity Today right now? Redefining who is “us.” Who is the “we” of Evangelicalism? “We simply want Jesus as revealed in scripture.” 2 Corinthians 4: “The glory of God reflected in the face of Jesus Christ.” Karl Barth and disillusionment during World War I: “We  we want to preach the gospel as though nothing has happened.” … “ He's saying the church is being co-opted and used by forces alien to it. And there have to be people who are free from that to actually appeal to the genuine gospel and to remind people that God is God.” How to cultivate freedom “One of the major challenges to a freedom is loss of attention.” “I have to be free from the constant whirl—and what he meant at the time was the radio, you know, which is nothing compared to what we have—because my attention is necessary for me to be able to serve and to give.” “Kingdom of God is like yeast.” Waiting, attention, and a longer view of time “How do you then hold onto this freedom that we're describing in a way of connected disconnectedness or disconnected connectedness or something?” Nicholas Carr: “Every person has to have an act of willful excommunication.” Revelation and the Book of Daniel: “Seal all this up for now. … Don't worry about it.” Nebuchadnezzar demanding  that. Shadrach, Mishak, and Abednego bow down and worship the golden statue. Evangelical Pastors: Preaching the Bible versus advocating a political vision Galatians 1 and 2—Paul's not yielding to false teachers in order to preserve the Gospel New Apostolic Reformation Christian Nationalism: “Bizarro Evangelicalism … i f you can get external conformity, then you have righteousness.” “Blood mysticism” Jonathan Rauch's Cross Purposes Keeping guard up in conversations with disagreement “Simply asking for Christians to be who we say we are.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

If you think Daniel walking out of a lions' den without a scratch is amazing, just wait to see what happens at the end of time when Christians walk out of the den of God's judgment without a scratch. The critical question is: will that be you?Four principles for how Christians do engaged alienation wisely:1) Be never-despairing yet never-presuming2) Defiantly...pray3) Don't trust "Persia's" leaders4) Trust the righteousness of ChristText: Daniel 6:1-28

Today's episode features a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Charles Athanasopoulos, Assistant Professor of African American and African Studies & English at The Ohio State University, about his groundbreaking new book, Black Iconoclasm: Public Symbols, Racial Progress, and Post/Ferguson America. On the show, Alex and Calvin talk with Charles about the intricate relationship he charts between Black freedom struggles, the power of icons (and their destruction), and the complex liminalities of social change in contemporary America. We explore Charles's fresh analysis using his concept of "Black iconoclasm" as a guide - a process of Black radical discernment, which beckons us to constantly questioning established norms and the received wisdom of black liberation and social change more broadly.Our discussion touches upon the personal backdrop that informed Athanasopoulos's work, particularly his religious upbringing, the emergence and mainstreaming of the Black Lives Matter movement during his time as an undergraduate, and some of his observations of the 2020 BLM protests as a graduate student in Pittsburgh. We unpack key concepts from Black Iconoclasm, such as the "twilight of the icons," where the lines between image-making and image-breaking blur. We also explore his insightful application of the work of Frantz Fanon in communication studies, exploring the idea of "Fanonian slips" as accidental rhetorical slippages that reveal deeper investments in racial iconography, using examples like comments from political figures like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, as well as Charles's own experiences. We also examine the visual rhetoric of a BLM mural in Pittsburgh through the lens of Édouard Glissant's "poetics of visual relation," considering the transformations and defacements the mural underwent, and its broader symbolic underpinnings. We conclude by hearing the inspiration behind Charles's creative story of “Black Icarus” that interweaves his chapters, reflecting upon his choice to include an innovative mythopoetic narrative as part of his scholarly work.Charles Athanasopolous's Black Iconoclasm: Public Symbols, Racial Progress, and Post/Ferguson America is available now as a free E-Book from Palgrave Macmillan (via SpringerLink)Works and Concepts Cited in this EpisodeBurke, Kenneth. 1970.

On Embracing Alienation. Todd McGowan is back on the pod, talking to George and Alex about his book, Embracing Alienation: Why We Shouldn't Try To Find Ourselves. Why is alienation good actually? What does it give us? How is alienation related to subjectivity and freedom? What is the problem with anti-alienation politics of Left and Right? What happened to the 1960s concern with alienation, where did it go? Why is an embrace of the public realm, against therapy culture, the right response? What is the task of critical theory today?

“The amount of guilt and the sense of alienation that people feel when they fall in love with someone who is ‘outside', and the struggle that they have to undergo to explain that choice which they fully don't understand themselves, is a very deep conflict that my work tries to capture. The title of my book is ‘Intimacy in Alienation', and alienation is something that is really very pregnant in the identities of these individuals who feel like aliens to their own community because their community cannot imagine why are they seeing the other as something positive but not as how the community wants them to see. So there's a big gap that often gets deeper and it widens and it really forecloses any conversation and imagination.” Episode Description: We begin with considering the nature of 'malignant othering' that Ashis describes in parts of the Hindu-Muslim interface in India. His thesis is that transcending the binary into a 'third' is essential in the "quest for newer foundations defining Hindu and Muslim identities that are freed from historically entrenched definitions." He describes the challenges faced by each community that lacks the imagination of what is positive in the other. We discuss the importance of family support for interfaith couples and how often that is lacking. He describes 'love-jihad' where the autonomous agency of the partners is, through the eyes of fundamentalism, reduced to stereotypes of oppressor-oppressed. Ashis describes his research methodology which borrows from the psychoanalytic method in its recognition of transference and repetition. He closes by sharing with us the impact on him of the riots of 2002 and behind that the latent presence of the atrocities of the 1947 Partition. He bemoans "the erosion of the narratives of harmony" and sees his work as his effort at healing.   Our Guest: Ashis Roy (PhD) is a Psychoanalyst at the Delhi Chapter of the Indian Psychoanalytic  Society ( IPA London). He works with adults and couples. For more than a decade he was on the Faculty at the Centre of Psychotherapy and Clinical Research, Ambedkar University, where he participated in institution building, taught psychoanalysis, and trained students to become Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists.  He is a faculty at CAPA (China-American Psychoanalytic Alliance) and is interested in exploring Asian and South Asian cultures using psychoanalysis.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Allison J. Pugh, professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University, to discuss her recent book The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World. Then, she's joined by Zachary Foster, author of the Palestine Nexus newsletter, to discuss Trump's recent announcements and intentions to "take over" the Gaza Strip. First, Emma runs through updates on the DOJ's restriction on Elon & Cronies' access to Treasury data, skyrocketing union membership among federal employers, Musk's access to Health Payment Systems, cuts to the FAA and the destruction of USAID, the trickle of opposition from Democrats, Trump's intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza, Trump's ban of trans girls and women from athletic competition, US birthright citizenship, global warming, and brutal jail riots out of Congo, before diving a little deeper into the absurdly creepy stunt Trump attempted to pull with signing his most recent anti-trans legislation, and the violently inhumane response from the likes of Jesse Watters. Professor Allison Pugh then joins, diving right into the recent mass proliferation of Artificial Intelligence across industries, and the dangerous encroachment it has initiated on what Pugh has dubbed “Connective Labor” – occupations where the literal act of a human seeing another human for who they are is the underlying engine for the valued outcome for the consumer, be it education, healthcare, hairdressers, sales, securities, and on – pushing society, with help from growing feelings of alienation, into a depersonalization crisis. After briefly expanding on the extension of this intrusion of AI into necessarily interpersonal roles, Professor Pugh looks at how the AI takeover over this work has been driven by this “Moneyball”-esque, Venture Capitalist, industrial-model of efficiency stripping back entire professions to emphasize data collection and output over the actual labor (and human connection) at hand, often resulting in the full-scale degradation of these jobs. Allison and Emma also touch on the AI industry's insistence on selling you their product as a replacement for either a more practical social alternative, human labor, or human connection, before wrapping up the interview with the overwhelming issue of Big Tech's complete capture of our information networks, be they communications platforms, databases, or (now) academia, and what it will take to push humanity back to doing their own critical thinking. Zachary Foster and Emma then jump right into Trump's recent declaration of intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza under U.S. control while sitting beside Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, touching on the stunning revelation of the White House's seeming internal numbers on the total Gazan death count (around 500k) as well as the ongoing struggle to survive outside of conflict in Gaza. Next, Foster dives into the extensive role Saudi Arabia plays in pushing back against the US-Israeli imperial advancements, with their outward insistence on Palestinian statehood somewhat conflicted by Crown Prince MBS' extensive efforts to normalize relations with Israel as well as to launch Saudi Arabia into an era of “techno-utopianism,” two agendas perfectly-aligned with the Trump Administration, before touching on the stunning international solidarity being shown on behalf of Palestine in the wake of Trump breaking from Biden's tact of *silently* supporting the ethnic cleansing. Wrapping up, Zachary looks to Israel's ongoing military pivot to escalating violence in the West Bank, and why U.S. and international pressure has been the only thing that ever restrained the Zionist state's repeated attempts to ethnically cleanse Palestine. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they highlight a killer dissection of the Big Tech Oligarchy's dream for “Network State” by Joanna of Blonde Politics and dive deep into Big Tech's aggrievement- and power-driven evolution in the public eye. They also watch the NYT help Steve Bannon grapple with Trump allowing a foreign billionaire to take over the US, and Trump and Netanyahu gleefully announce the “official” plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, plus, your calls and IMs!

With Alan Sears. In this episode we discuss the new book, Eros and Alienation: Capitalism and the Making of Gendered Sexualities. Alan Sears lays out his expansive understanding of key ideas like labour, alienation, social reproduction, and eroticism. We discuss 'erotic enclosure' in 19th century industrial capitalism, bodily discipline and identity formation at work and in school; how state social policy has shifted, balancing the constraint and unleashing of desire, and forged hegemonic, heteronormative (and homonormative) gender regimes. We also look at nature and ecology, and what science fiction can offer us as we think through more revolutionary possibilities and practices around gender and sexuality.

Ryan discusses the overview of the whole case and just discussed Part 1 as his case is complex.      The abusive parent will defend their reputation with money. The protective parent will fight to death for their children with money. This explains WHY that lawyers and judges CHOOSE to do this to children. There is nothing in the human soul that  would make them want to let little children to get molested or worse.

* 什麼是錢？什麼是通貨？* 銀行是如何演變成今天的模式？ * 什麼是資本主義？ 過去我經常談到經濟學，尤其是貨幣、銀行等等。有些聽眾朋友反映，有些概念比較深奧，不太容易理解。所以我想，有沒有辦法可以用一些和一般教科書不一樣的內容，讓大家更容易明白：究竟什麼是錢？什麼是通貨？銀行是如何運作的？以及什麼是資本主義？今天我想和大家分享金錢的大歷史，希望能從不同的角度，帶大家了解這些我們經常接觸到的經濟學概念。首先，第一個要掌握的概念就是：什麼是錢？什麼是通貨？要知道什麼是通貨，我們可以先從沒有錢的世界開始，看看那時的社會是如何運作的。原始社會的人類是狩獵採集者 (Hunter-Gatherer)，他們靠打獵、採集野果和堅果維生。這種經濟模式基本上是自給自足的。什麼是自給自足呢？簡單來說，就是生產者和消費者是同一個人，生產和消費幾乎同時發生。你打了獵物，最多也只是帶回部落，和族人分享。在這種自給自足的經濟中，你不會有多餘的產能。如果你找不到食物，你的族人可能就要挨餓了。但打獵的收穫並不穩定，有時候你運氣不好，打不到獵物，你也會和族人分享他們找到的食物。這種共享資源的方式，可以說是一種原始的共產主義。如今世界各地，仍有許多原始部落，值得我們去研究。他們的生活以部落為中心，這種部落模式某種程度上也分擔了風險。在這種經濟模式下，沒有貨幣，也沒有交易，只有分享。從這種最基本、最原始的人類生存模式來看，人類群居，最主要的原因就是為了分擔風險。人類歷史從原始邁向文明，最重要的進步之一就是出現了文字。在古代美索不達米亞平原，考古發現顯示，最早的文字記錄，這些記錄的內容，很多都是關於借貸的。考古學家也發現了一些更古老的記賬方式，那是在文字出現之前，人們如何記錄債務關係？他們會使用陶罐，裡面放著一些陶製的圓球，就像彈珠一樣，作為「信物」（Tokens）。他們將這些信物放在陶罐上，代表某個人借了多少錢或多少糧食。我們發現，最初的文字很多都是會計記錄。此外，當時的美索不達米亞平原也開始發展農業。值得一提的是，最初的農業和城市發展息息相關。城市通常是帝國的中心，而農村也從自給自足轉變為規模化的農業生產，這種規模化的農業生產往往需要依賴奴隸。因此，文字、農業、帝國和奴隸制度，都是在歷史的同一階段出現的。與此同時，城市裡主要的居民有兩種：商人和貴族。古代的貴族主要分為兩種：神職人員，例如宗教領袖；以及軍事貴族，例如軍人。這就是古代社會的階級結構。有趣的是，文字的出現實際上比貨幣更早。我個人更喜歡用「通貨」(currency) 這個詞，這個翻譯既典雅又精準，因為錢或貨幣的目的就是促進交易，所以稱為通貨。前面提到，在通貨出現之前，就已經有了借貸的概念。英文裡有一句話說：money is debt，意思是錢就是債務。承接剛才提到的古代記賬方法，就是在陶瓷片上記錄誰欠了多少糧食、多少錢、多少牲畜等等。但這種方法的效率不高，因為記錄只有一份，而且保存在城市裡，所以古代的債務無法拿去交易。後來人們想到，可以用某種信物來作為債務的憑證。當時人們還沒有發展出在紙上記賬的方法，所以他們使用的憑證通常是一些稀有物品，例如首飾、寶石、貝殼等。這裡我想補充說明一下「信物」（Token）的概念。近年來，人們經常談論加密貨幣，尤其前幾年，市場上出現了許多所謂的「非同質化代幣」（Non-Fungible Tokens，NFT）。其實 Token 的翻譯應該是「信物」更為貼切。什麼是信物呢？如果A和B之間有一個約定，如果只是他們兩人之間的約定，就不需要信物來記認。信物是為了讓第三方，例如C、D、E、F等等，都知道A和B之間存在著一個協議或約定。通貨是一種特殊的信物，它可以轉手交易，而且任何人都知道，只要持有這種信物，就可以用來清償債務。作為一種通用的信物，通貨需要滿足幾個條件：首先，它必須具備普遍性，無論走到哪裡，人們都能夠識別它，並知道可以用它來償還債務；其次，它不能輕易被複製，否則如果可以無限量製造，它的價值就會下跌，這就是通貨膨脹。在古代，最常被用來作為通貨的是金屬。因此，最終所有貝殼或其他實物形式的信物，都不如金、銀、銅三種金屬。通貨的出現帶來了巨大的轉變，它讓交易不再局限於人與人之間的直接接觸。你不需要認識生產者，也不需要認識消費者，只要有市場價格，交易就能進行。通貨的出現，拉大了生產者和消費者之間的距離，無論是時間上還是地理上。有些人，例如馬克思主義者，認為這種現象會導致人與人之間的疏離（Alienation），但從現代的角度來看，作為生產者，你當然希望接觸到更多消費者；作為消費者，你也希望有更多選擇。想像一下，如果只能向你認識的人購買商品，你的選擇將會非常有限。因此，貿易對每個人都有好處，無論是生產者還是消費者。在早期社會，人們使用各種不同的信物作為通貨，例如黃金、白銀、銅錢等等。由於不同地區使用不同的通貨，於是在一些主要的城市就出現了專門從事貨幣兌換的職業，也就是找換店。早期的找換店除了兌換貨幣，也提供借貸服務。由於他們經常接觸外來人口，而且掌握許多市場信息，因此在一般人眼中，這些商人或找換店的人並不值得信任。在古代社會，與外來人接觸 often 帶有負面含義，甚至會受到歧視。此外，商人利用信息差獲取利潤的行為，也 often 被視為不道德。還有一個原因導致商人社會地位低落，那就是他們 often 替貴族收稅。在一些大型帝國中，將各地區的農產品運送到中央政府非常困難，因此統治者會委託商人將收穫的農產品 converted 成通貨，再運送到中央。當然，商人也會在這個過程中獲取利益。因此，在歷史上，商人 often 被視為社會的底層。這就是為什麼會有「士農工商」的說法，商人排在最後，主要就是因為他們從事一些被認為不道德的行為。在早期的社會，人們使用很多不同的「信物」，例如黃金、白銀和銅錢。正因如此，在一些主要的城市出現了一個新的職業——找換店。早期的找換店除了幫助人們兌換不同的貨幣之外，也會借錢給人做生意。由於他們參與許多交易，也掌握了很多信息，所以在一般人眼中，這些從事貿易或經營找換店的人並不值得信任。在古代社會，能夠接觸「外人」的人 often 會被人歧視，或者說，往往是那些被歧視的人才會去和外地人做生意。此外，由於他們掌握了許多信息，他們也會利用這些信息來獲取利潤。所以古代的人認為，這些貿易商或找換店的人是不可信的。還有一個原因讓他們的社會地位更加低落，那就是他們 often 會代表貴族去收稅。特別是在一些大的帝國，不可能每次都將地方的農產品收回來，再運到中央。因此，中央的統治者會通過這些商人或找換店的人，將收回來的地租和地稅（通常是以農產品計算的）變成通貨，然後再將這些通貨運到中央政府。當然，在這個過程中，他們也會從中獲利。也因為這個原因，在歷史上，商人一直都被貶低為社會的最低層。所以為什麼會有「士農工商」的說法？為什麼商人會排在最後？最主要的原因就是，他們做了很多一般人認為是有違道德的事情。通貨的出現，讓生產者和消費者之間的距離越來越遠，無論是時間上還是地理上。有些人很不喜歡這種現象，例如馬克思主義者就認為，將生產和消費分開是不好的，他們稱這種現象為「異化」（Alienation）。但是，如果我們從現代的角度來看，作為一個生產者，你當然希望能夠接觸到越多的消費者越好。如果你要這樣做的話，你就必須透過通貨。試想一下，如果你必須認識每一個消費者，就像在古代的原始社會，一定要透過人與人之間的關係才能進行交易，那麼你能賣出多少產品呢？肯定不多。同樣地，作為一個消費者，你也希望有更多的選擇。但如果你只能從你認識的生產者那裡購買你需要的物品，那麼你的選擇就會變得很少。所以答案很簡單，貿易對每個人都有好處，無論你是消費者還是生產者。銀行的出現，是為了滿足社會對通貨日益增長的需求。最初，銀行只是幫助人們儲存黃金和白銀。人們將黃金白銀存入銀行，銀行就會向他們發出一張票據，這就是最原始的紙鈔。同時，這些銀行也會借錢給人做生意，特別是當時的遠洋貿易。歐洲的海洋貿易歷史悠久，早在帝國出現之前，地中海地區就已經有非常頻繁的貿易往來。到了中古時代後期，這些遠洋貿易更是超越了地中海的範圍，到達了世界的另一端。這些航行本身就充滿了風險，不僅船隻可能會被海盜搶劫，或是遇到風浪沉沒，就連最初採購貨物也需要融資和借貸。也是在這個時代，銀行發現，它們借出去的票據可以超過它們手上擁有的黃金。因為它們發出去的票據，很多時候會被存到其他的銀行，它們只需要在銀行之間互相結算，就可以調整餘額。這種運作模式，直到今天仍然被採用。銀行借出去的錢，金額远远超過它們的存款額，這就是「部分準備金銀行制度」（Fractional Reserve Banking）。由於銀行需要整個行業一起運作，所以在古代，這些銀行通常都會聚集在一些大的貿易城市，例如倫敦、巴黎、阿姆斯特丹，或者更早期的威尼斯等等。我覺得大航海時代的巔峰應該是在17世紀，荷蘭東印度公司的時代。荷蘭東印度公司成立於1602年，是世界上第一家上市公司。它主要從事香料貿易，其經營模式是通過發行股票籌集資金，然後用這些資金建造船隻，前往亞洲購買香料，再運回歐洲銷售。荷蘭東印度公司的成功，帶動了荷蘭的經濟發展，也促進了金融業的發展。在荷蘭東印度公司成立幾年後，阿姆斯特丹也成立了第一間具有現代銀行規模的銀行——阿姆斯特丹銀行。阿姆斯特丹銀行發行自己的紙鈔，背後以黃金和白銀作為儲備。但在阿姆斯特丹銀行成立大約20年後，就出現了歷史上第一次的投機泡沫——鬱金香狂熱 (Tulip Mania)。鬱金香狂熱發生在1634年到1637年間，當時鬱金香球莖的價格被炒作到天價，最後泡沫破裂，導致許多人破產。鬱金香狂熱的歷史告訴我們，金融市場有一個特點：無論是信貸擴張還是信貸收縮，其力量之大，都不是任何人可以阻擋的。這也讓有些人認為，資本主義的本質就是不穩定。但是，回顧前面提到的，人類群居的原因之一就是為了分擔風險。資本主義的出現，讓每個人都可以通過投入他們多餘的儲蓄，去投資不同風險的活動，以爭取回報。其實，人類社會的進步和現代經濟的出現，只是代表了我們買賣的對象，從最原始的實物，到後來可以將一盤生意、將背後的風險，都變成有價值的資產來交易。這就是資本主義的初期。各位，今天的分享就到這裡。希望大家從這段歷史的分享中，大致了解了貨幣（也就是通貨）是如何出現的。而且，原來在通貨出現之前，人類就已經有了記賬制度和債務的概念。債務的概念慢慢演變成憑證，憑著一個信物就可以拿去交易。而這種可以普遍地進行交易的通貨，就是我們今天所說的貨幣。所以，貨幣只是一種記賬的工具，而銀行其實就是這些賬簿的儲存地方。在今天的世界，我們還需要銀行嗎？下一次分享金融業的大歷史時，我想和大家談談，到了21世紀的今天，剛才所說的信貸、通貨、銀行業究竟可以如何運作。 This is a public episode.

Respair is kicking off the year by sharing a new project that we're proud to partner with and share with you! Welcome to Carceral Fictions & Abolitionist Realities, a series of narrative essays that reflect on emergent themes from conversations with Detroit-based organizers and futurists committed to abolition of police and prisons. This is Episode 1, entitled Alienation from Ourselves, Each Other, and Our Needs. Joined by a chorus of voices and visionaries, Detroit-based artist Lauren Williams invites us to consider roadmaps to futures we hope for, through a focus on the everyday & the contradictions of neoliberal philosophy. Should everything really be for sale, will the market protect the worthy? First, a foundation: How do our ways of working separate us from our power and possibility? What exactly is neoliberalism, how did it become the dominant social and economic logic of U.S. civil society? What does any of this have to do with abolition? To answer that last question first, it comes down to criminalization and control. Detroit's 2013 bankruptcy and civic fights about water access serve as examples of how accepting a logic of separation weakens our ability to challenge social problems that affect people in very connected ways. Williams illuminates the short path from privatization to deprivation, before limning the difference between the state's compulsion to watch & the human need to be seen. The series is presented in partnership with Making Room for Abolition, a body of work that imagines a world without police and prisons by making speculative worlds through the lens of a home. It was dreamed up, written and produced by Lauren Williams; essays were co-produced by Ayinde Jean-Baptiste; and the audio was engineered by Conor Anderson. Featured guests include Nick Buckingham, Curtis Renee, Tawana Petty, PG Watkins, Angel McKissic, Monica Lewis-Patrick, Nate Mullen, Sirrita Darby, Kim Sherrobi, Monique Thompson, and Myrtle Thompson-Curtis. Voice actors who read various excerpts from references are credited on each episode. Our theme music is the instrumentals from a song called Detroit Summer by Invincible and Waajeed, courtesy of Emergence Media. Full time-stamped transcripts are available at www.makingroom.online/essays. This show is presented in partnership with Respair Production & Media.

In this episode I am joined by Dr James Cooke, Oxford-trained neuroscientist, spiritual teacher, and author of “Dawn of Mind: How Matter Became Conscious and Alive”. James recounts how, at aged 13, an existential crisis driven by fear of hell saw him emerge into a profound mystical opening. James shares the radical changes he experienced and traces his subsequent years spent exploring and integrating this spiritual breakthrough. James recalls his improbable journey to winning a place at Oxford University, discusses the remarkable overlaps he found there between cutting-edge neuroscience and his own awakening, and reveals the social structures of elite education in the UK. James details the arduous and often overlooked post-awakening work of surrendering egoic structures and releasing attachments, explains why enlightenment is both a gain and a loss, and reflects on the challenges of teaching nonduality as a natural mystic. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. 01:07 - Why did James write Dawn of Mind? 03:43 - Making consciousness science accessible 04:41 - Catholic upbringing, an overly conscientious child 05:49 - Disturbed by hell 06:38 - Existential rumination, a crisis of faith 08:27 - Spiritual awakening at age 13 09:54 - Aftermath of James' awakening 12:59 - Life affirming vs death affirming phases of awakening 15:16 - Letting go of attachments 17:24 - What happened to James' excessive conscientiousness? 20:00 - Two mistakes about the no-self 21:15 - Freedom from extremes, letting go 23:39 - The dissolving self 24:44 - Is therapy necessary? 26:44 - Meditation as a gradual path 27:15 - Meditation vs therapy 28:37 - Practice in life vs joining a monastery 30:11 - Can a natural mystic really teach others? 32:37 - Alienation through spiritual language 33:21 - Enlightenment as loss 34:27 - 3 types of spiritual teacher 36:30 - James' profile as a teacher 37:47 - Self-aggrandising nondual teachers 38:38 - Spiritual influences 40:40 - Adyashanti & the end of suffering 42:08 - Buddhist progress of insight model 43:59 - Volatile teenage years 44:57 - Extreme somatic tension 36:25 - Difficult integration phase 47:39 - Oxford University, dealing with pressure 50:26 - How James got into Oxford against all odds 54:07 - Social context of elite education in the UK 56:52 - The Oxford wound 58:11 - The mystic's mistake, post-awakening 01:00:15 - James' research path at Oxford 01:01:39 - Opening a path for others + psychedelic experimentation 01:04:13 - James' last psychedelic trip 01:05:12 - Working with Beliefs 01:07:29 - Unravelling resistance & faking it 01:10:40 - Is there an end to post-awakening work? 01:13:54 - James' experience of intimate relationships 01:17:25 - Charlatans and why awakening can be off-putting for friends 01:19:30 - Alienating terminology 01:19:48 - Feeling isolated after awakening 01:20:33 - Mimicking awakening, the nondual teaching circuit 01:22:05 - Why did James wait so long to go public 01:25:57 - Reaction of James' family 01:26:51 - Moral perfection 01:30:37 - Why James doesn't like the word “enlightenment” 01:31:10 - The problem with “awakening” 01:32:31 - Language phases, changing the lingo 01:33:20 - The Borg and analogies for awakening 01:34:42 - Siddhi, intuition, supernatural powers 01:36:48 - Insecure rockstars, kundalini 01:38:39 - The language game 01:39:11 - Hearing voices, the dramatising brain 01:40:58 - World as a shared hallucination 01:42:45 - Does James suffer? 01:44:56 - Gross vs subtle suffering 01:45:52 - An experience of physical pain 01:47:08 - Meditative austerities vs life practice 01:50:46 - Trainings in equanimity 01:51:49 - Ideas in Dawn of Mind 01:53:20 - An instinct for empowerment

No area represents a more stark and violent shift in U.S. policy in Trump 2.0 then immigration, where the country is bracing for the possibility of wholesale roundups of illegal aliens. Three experts in immigration policy and governmental oversight—Doris Meissner, Kristie De Pena, and Leon Rodriguez—join Harry for a preview of what's coming and the mobilization of state governments and the private sector to push back. Core issues not just of law but of national identity hang in the balance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

His wife was spiraling into insomnia, and his children were afraid to go to school, so Jaime Cachua sought out the person he trusted most in a crisis. He sat at his kitchen table in rural Georgia across from his father-in-law, Sky Atkins, the family patriarch. Jaime, 33, hadn't seen his own father since he was 10 months old, when he left Mexico in a car seat bound for the United States.“We have to prepare for the worst-case scenario,” Jaime told him. “There's a chance we could lose everything.”Jaime muted the football game on TV and began to explain his new reality as an undocumented immigrant after the election of Donald Trump, who had won the presidency in part by promising to deport more than 11 million people living in the country illegally.“I'm going to be straight with you,” Sky told Jaime. “I voted for Trump. I believe in a lot of what he says.”“I figured as much,” Jaime said. “You and just about everyone else around here.”“It's about protecting our rights as a sovereign country,” Sky said. “We need to shut down the infiltration on the border. It's not about you.”“It is about me,” Jaime said. “That's the thing I don't understand.” Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

In this episode Brook and his guests Lisa Johnson and Chris Barry from the podcast Been There Got Out discuss the notion of High Conflict Detox. This is where a person/parent is stuck deeply in the habitual cycle of conflict and the nervous system maintains a high level of chronic activation. In order to break the cycle one must endure the discomfort of disengagement, develop a self awareness of the cycle in order to break free of the strong impulse to engage in and continue the conflict. This conflict pattern is very much physiological and can be mastered. Enjoy!!! You can contact Lisa through their website beentheregotout.com or follow them on instagram, Youtube and Facebook.
