What does it mean to be a man? It's a timeless question that's been answered in different ways across the ages. For the ancient Romans, the word for manliness was virtus — the root of our word virtue. To be a man meant living a life of virtuous excellence.Waller Newell takes up that same definition in his book The Code of Man, first published twenty years ago and now released in a new edition. Today on the show, Waller, a professor of political science, argues that we need to recover an older vision of manhood rooted in the traditions of Western antiquity. He shares the five paths that, in his view, form the classical code of manliness and how they can continue to be lived out today.Resources Related to the PodcastWaller's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #104 — The Code of Man With Waller NewellAoM Article: What Is Manliness?AoM series on the origins and nature of manhoodAoM Podcast #1,028: The 5 Marks of a ManAoM Podcast #926: The 5 Shifts of ManhoodAoM Article: Got Thumos?AoM Article: What Is a Man?

In 2013, a popular national TV host provoked a sharp reaction from Christian viewers when he asserted that much of the Bible is allegorical, meaning that the narratives of Adam and Eve, Noah, and Jonah are non-literal and symbolic. This is not how Christians have historically understood allegory. Even in the Middle Ages, when ingenious allegorical interpretation sometimes resulted in nonsense, Christians still approached the Bible with the conviction that it was literal and historical — they just thought they were finding additional symbolic or spiritual meanings. While the Lutheran Reformation reined in allegorical interpretation of the Bible, there is one divinely inspired allegory given in Scripture that stands alongside messianic prophecy and typology as an interpretive technique for opening the Old Testament. Whether or not St. Paul's example gives license to Lutherans to do allegory — that's debatable! Rev. Carl Roth, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins Sarah to talk about the “Searching Scripture” feature in the October 2025 issue of the Lutheran Witness titled “Do Lutherans Do Allegory?” on selected passages from Genesis and Galatians. This year, “Searching Scripture” is themed “Opening the Old Testament” and will walk through ways that the Old Testament witnesses to Jesus Christ and His grace, mercy and peace, delivered through the holy Christian church.

#47 The Allegory Story (Counting The Cost—Aramaic Style)

Episode 213: What does it mean to live a meaningful life? That question is at the center of the latest episode of The Ethical Life podcast, hosted by Richard Kyte and Scott Rada. The conversation begins with the story of a young kayaker who saved a stranger from drowning. Afterward, he reflected simply: “I was useful.” For Kyte, that statement underscores how rare it is for people to feel their actions truly matter. A sense of usefulness, he argues, is often more central to a fulfilling existence than money, entertainment or personal advancement. The hosts extend the discussion to professions such as teaching and nursing. Many who enter these fields do so not for financial rewards but out of a desire to make a difference. The gratitude of students or patients can provide daily reinforcement that their work matters. Yet both hosts note that burnout is common, especially among those in underpaid or overstressed roles such as certified nursing assistants and home-health workers. Purpose matters, they conclude, but it cannot substitute for fair compensation and sustainable working conditions. The episode also reaches back to philosophy. Kyte explains Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” in which prisoners mistake shadows for reality until one is freed to see the truth beyond. The metaphor, he says, reflects today’s challenges of distraction and distortion — whether through constant entertainment, doomscrolling or overreliance on artificial intelligence. Rada presses him on modern parallels, and both agree that meaning requires turning toward reality in the company of others. The consequences of ignoring that truth are sobering. The FBI now uses the term “nihilistic violent extremism” to describe acts rooted in the belief that life is meaningless. While most people never reach such extremes, the hosts note that apathy, addiction and cynicism often grow from the same soil of disconnection. Research, however, shows that small, intentional practices can counter these patterns. Habits shape character: generosity leads to gratitude, while constant online conflict fosters defensiveness. A meta-analysis of workplace wellness programs found that most initiatives —yoga, mindfulness, perks — had little effect. One exception stood out: volunteering. Companies that support service opportunities consistently see stronger morale and healthier cultures. The conversation closes with a reminder that fulfillment is rarely found in isolation. Joining organizations, forming friendships and accepting responsibility for others provide daily opportunities to be useful in ways that matter. This episode continues the show’s occasional series tied to Kyte’s lecture program, The Search for Meaning. All of those talks are available on YouTube.

#46 The Allegory Story (The Access Code To Entering (subjectively experiencing)The Kingdom—Becoming As A Little Child—Aramaic Style)

Given that Plato's Allegory of the Cave seems to still apply to modern people, is there any hope of some day having a civilization rooted in reality?If truly sentient and self-aware and self-motivated robots come to be, would you welcome them into the world as fellow beings worthy of respect?Can an Atheist, like an Ex-muslim be a Christian at least culturally go to church and all, even if he can't find any rational way to believe that God exists. I know, I know it's a strange Question.If the purpose of life is, as I think it is, to become a great mate, find a great mate, create a family, and raise kids who will be great mates themselves... what does the purpose of life become for people who can't, don't, or choose not to become parents?Would moral standards exist, or need to exist, in a post-Singularity world where anyone can have anything they want, built by robotics, AI, and insanely advanced 3D printers?My question is basically rooted in the notion that, once we have anything we want, what are moral standards worth?Moral standards are worth something right now because we need each other in order to survive and thrive. Moral standards produce mutual respect between humans so we can trade with each other, either without conflict or with minimal conflict, maintaining social stability.I apologize if I've completely misunderstood what "morality" as a concept is about. I kind of know what it is, but only from my simpleton perspective. I would love to get your perspective.Thanks Stef.Utilitarianism or Deontology - "greatest good" or "moral principle?" Old debate but I haven't heard your take.what is truth?Not a question but elaborate a bit on the left-right rabbit hole. I'm feeling used.How do we keep ourselves from hating our enemy more than we love our people?What does it mean to feel pain for the loss of someone you never met in person?Why are we here?Divorce and family dissolution is agony that endures until death. Is it better to have loved and lost or to never have loved and thus be spared the loss?Would you abort a pedophile baby?How can we know that we ALL see the same color when we say "blue" or "Green"?If space ends what is on the other side?Why is there something, rather than nothing?How long will it take for me to stop grieving Charlie Kirk's murder?Does your internal dialogue or actions shape your reality? Which one is more significant and why?Universal morality versus in-group morality. If you believe in universal morality still, upon what basis?Why do most philosophers believe in God?What's your opinion on Sam Harris?What's the point of it all, it's not even struggle anymore it's all just crap, endless, worthless crapWhat are you thoughts regarding ‘cancel culture' and the differences that exist between how it implemented by the right vs the leftFOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Michael Savage delves into Plato's Allegory of the Cave and how it speaks to recent events. He explains how Plato's teachings parallel the circumstances surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination. Then he shifts to President Trump's state visit to Britain and meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Savage shares how he was a canary in the coal mine when banned from entering England. He blasts the land of the Magna Carta for its attempts to silence him and its citizens for speaking truth.

#41 The Allegory Story (John 14–Aramaic Style—No Man Comes Unto The Father But By Me)

Today, our guest is Dr. Sam Perry, associate professor of communication in the honors college and Director of the Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Rhetorical Studies at Baylor University. Dr. Perry studies race and racism in the United States with a particular focus on the ways in which anti-black racism manifests in the public sphere through political, religious, and popular discourse, and emphasis on representations of violence in protests. In addition to rhetoric and social world courses, Dr. Perry teaches a capstone course, The Allegory of the Cave and Contemporary Film. His scholarly research appears in journals like Rhetorical Society Quarterly and Southern Communication Journal, and Dr. Perry also writes about politics and rhetoric for the website The Conversation. In 2015, Dr. Perry was named the Outstanding Professor of the Year for tenure track teaching at Baylor.   We are delighted to have Dr. Perry on the show to discuss politics in the classroom, teaching controversial topics, and what the university owes students. https://theconversation.com/profiles/samuel-perry-239674/articles Authority, Passion, and Subject-Centered Teaching

Care sunt comportamentele pe care le învățăm adesea, încă din primii ani de viață și din primele interacțiuni avute? Cum sunt acestea reîntărite la școală și, mai apoi, în alte relații pe care le dezvoltăm cu cei din jur? Cum ajung acestea să devină reprezentative nu doar pentru fiecare individ, ci pentru noi ca societate și, mai ales, cum impactează deciziile pe care le luăm și modul în care ne raportăm unii la ceilalți? În episodul de astăzi descoperim, alături de Gelu Duminică, de ce e atât de importantă puterea lui împreună și cum "diferența dintre ceea ce unii credeau că putem fi și ceea ce suntem e dată de cei care au crezut mai mult în noi decât am crezut noi în noi înșine".

Lez Hang Out will be back with our season 9 premiere later this summer. In the meantime, we are excited to bring you episodes from other LGBTQ+ podcasts that we think you will love! This week's episode is from Tilly's Trans Tuesdays, a podcast hosted by Tilly Bridges (@heckyeahtillybridges). You may recognize Tilly from our episode on The Matrix! This episode is so much fun and perfect for kicking off your hot gay summer. It's all about the trans allegory woven throughout the Barbie movie! If you enjoy the episode, there's a lot more where that came from. Subscribe to Tilly's Trans Tuesdays to hear the rest of Tilly's multi-part series on Barbie. ---------------------------------------- Do you guys ever think about dying? The BARBIE movie rocked my world, and I instantly connected with it on a fundamental level, even beyond the surface feminist story. Do you wanna know why? Do you wanna know why you saw so many trans people, especially trans women, talking about how much this movie meant to them and the tears it brought? My friends, it's because BARBIE is one hundo percent an intentional (?!) trans allegory! Come along on this 8-week journey as I show you all the inherent, beautiful transness within! This week: context, why it's Funny Pink MATRIX, the film's visual language, and we learn all about Barbie's world of lies! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#37 The Allegory Story - (The Two Swords: Flaming and Quickened)

Old Testament stories are fun and fascinating, but we've gotten into a bad habit of making them moral tales just for kids. In reality, all of these stories point to Jesus and exist for the sanctification of all believers. Jonah is not about a fish but about a merciful God who makes a way of salvation for the worst sinners through the true and better Jonah—Jesus.Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on June 29, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

It's time to wrap up this installment of Tillyvision, as Star Trek: Strange New World's "Ad Astra Per Aspera" comes to a close! We talk why we'd want to be part of a society that oppresses us, how and why we can be better, and maybe this show gives us a road map for how we can get there. Critic and journalist Mo Ryan returns to discuss how it's up to those with privilege to USE it to do what you can to help (and has a shoutout for Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg!). What can YOU do to help trans people? Who do we want to be?
