Podcasts about arbitrariness

There's a common misconception that Judaism is a religion of law and Christianity is a religion of love. But the very love commandments at the heart of Jesus's teaching are direct quotes from Deuteronomy 6. Jesus, after all, was Jewish.Joining Miroslav Volf in this episode is one of the most important Jewish thinkers alive today: Rabbi Shai Held—theologian, educator, author—is President, Dean, and Chair in Jewish Thought at the Hadar Institute in New York City. He is the author of Abraham Joshua Heschel: The Call of Transcendence and The Heart of Torah, a collection of essays on the Torah in two volumes. His latest book is Judaism is about Love: Recovering the Heart of Jewish Life.Image Credit: “Vienna Genesis”, 6th century, Manuscript (Codex Vindobonensis theol. graec. 31), 333 x 270 mm, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, ViennaFollow us on Instagram: @forthelifepod @yalefaithandculture @lifeworthliving.yaleFollow us on YouTube: Yale Center for Faith & Culture Life Worth LivingAbout Shai HeldRabbi Shai Held—theologian, educator, author—is President, Dean, and Chair in Jewish Thought at the Hadar Institute in New York City.

The deed cannot replace the posture. It has to express it.”“A majority culture telling a minority  culture that it is inferior and loveless.”Interpreting both Judaism and Christianity through a moral or ethical lens, rather than the mystical, affective, and spiritual dimensions of bothUnconditionality of God's loveObedience to law vs unconditionality of love“My argument is that divine love, biblically speaking, comes without conditions, but with expectations. God does not say, do this or I will stop loving you. God says, I love you and I want you to do this.”Analogy to parental love for children“God believes in the centrality and urgency of human agency.”Eliezer Berkovits: embrace of human agency in JudaismZero sum games and God's will and human agencyPerformance-oriented society, and “measuring up”Competition and being better than othersNot earning, but striving to live up toGraceWhat objectives exist for us toJohn LevinsonChosenessMoshe Weinfeld: “you were not chosen because you were wonderful.”Election isn't earned, but don't let grace become capricious.Abraham's blessing and God's love for IsraelRabbi Akiva: “Every human being on the face of the earth is loved simply by being created in the divine image.”Centering theology around creationNoah's flood and a universal covenant with humanity as a wholeGod and Moses's chutzpah to ask for forgiveness because Israel is so stubbornGrace is a Jewish idea, not invented by Christianity or the New Testament“Culture stripped of grace”Arbitrariness of electionExodus 34Psalm 145:9 God is good to  all.

And the second is, we have to teach our children that there is another people who feels the same way.”“So much of the protest of this war has, it seemed to me, really lacked empathy and actually perpetuated really destructive ways of thinking about this conflict.”What is Rabbi Shai Held's vision of a life worth living?Medieval Mishnah on Genesis 1:27: “The human being  is created in God's image, but whether we become God's likeness is a function of the choices we make.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Shai HeldEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Kacie Barrett, and Zoë HalabanA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

In this month's episode of Discussions with DPIC, Managing Director Anne Holsinger speaks with Leah Roemer, DPIC's Legal Fellow and a primary author of our recent report, Lethal Election: How the U.S. Electoral Process Increases the Arbitrariness of the Death Penalty. Leah graduated from Berkeley Law in 2023, where she participated in the Death Penalty Clinic and earned a certificate in Public Interest and Social Justice. Leah discusses how some judges, prosecutors, and politicians alter their behavior in capital cases while running for office, creating unpredictability and inconsistent outcomes for people facing death sentences. However, she explains that the “accepted political wisdom” about the death penalty—that an official must take a pro-death stance to win an election—no longer appears to be true based on DPIC's research, as many voters now favor candidates willing to criticize or even oppose capital punishment.

Do we believe things because they are true or because they are convenient?Looking for a link we mentioned?

We all like to think of ourselves as discerning people. But research shows that many of our firmly-held beliefs are in fact false. It's not enough to simply decry others' beliefs as nonsense, we must be just as sceptical about our own.

Biography of X is one of the most intriguing, compelling and vertigo-inducing reads of recent years. Structured and referenced like a biography—written by one CM Lucca—the central contention of the book is Lucca's quest to unearth the origins and influences of X, the celebrated artist known by a single letter. It also calls into question how much we — as biographers, as readers, as fans, as lovers — can ever really pin down “who” anybody is at all.Buy Biography of X here: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/product/7949265/lacey-catherine-biography-of-x*In addition to Biography of X, Catherine Lacey is the author of four books: Nobody Is Ever Missing, The Answers, Certain American States and Pew.

Professional city planner and longtime Strong Towns contributor Nolan Gray comes to The Strong Towns Podcast today to talk about his new book, Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It. As you may have already gathered from the title, this is a book all about the flawed nature of zoning, and why reforming our zoning codes is such a key part of building stronger, more financially resilient cities and towns. As Strong Towns Podcast host Chuck Marohn notes, if you don't know anything about zoning, you're going to get a lot out of this book. And if you're an expert on zoning, you're still going to get a lot out of this book. So if you're looking for an accessible, yet informative exploration of what's gone wrong with the way we plan cities, look no further.

Chapter 9 part 2 of Sloterdijk's 'Critique of Cynical Reason'. The School of Arbitrariness: Information Cynicism, the Press.

The death penalty stands today as a punishment that, by some accounts, is as barbaric as exists in the developed world. In recent months, the federal government resumed executions after a two-decade pause in the execution schedule. Leigh Kassem has studied the death penalty for years and suggests future directions for capital punishment as well as addressing the death penalty's shortcomings as a tool for justice. Kassem is also the first instructor to teach an undergraduate course focused on the death penalty at the University of Florida. Through insights gained over the years, there is a wealth of information provided that may be both surprising and disturbing to listeners. Recorded December 5, 2020 @ Industry Plant®

In these Sentientist Conversations, we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what matters?” Stijn is a physicist (phd), economist (phd in progress), animal activist, rational moral philosopher (another phd) and an Effective Altruist! He co-founded and is president of EA Belgium. He’s currently researching economics at the university of Leuven. We talk about: Academic activism God not saving Stijn from swimming classes Martial arts, Star Wars & eastern/Buddhist philosophy (chi, forces, accupuncture, telekinesis, telepathy) Retaining a sense of awe, wonder & connection within a naturalistic worldview Ecocentrism/biocentrism as intuitively attractive, but as Stijn’s biggest moral mistake Ecosystems can’t suffer & “Gaia doesn’t care” The risk that ecocentrism often really reflects a human aesthetic judgement, not genuine altruistic concern for other sentients The moral salience of wild animal suffering The “don’t play god” rule against intervening in nature is a reflection of human values, not altruistic concern Are the most important moral questions actually the simplest? The value of thought experiments in solid morality - treating ethics like physics In ethics as in physics, we shouldn’t arbitrarily make exceptions Nihilism & its association with a materialist worldview Outgrowing a “puberty” stage in personal philosophy Moral uncertainty Life project of finding fundamental moral principles. Starting with 8, then 5, now 3: 1) Universal application / categorical imperative; 2) Avoiding unwanted arbitrariness (e.g. discrimination, exceptions, revelation); 3) Relative preferences (~utility / well-being / preferences) Religious believers are atheists in every other religion Starting from rights & working back to derive sentience as the moral qualifier (makes no sense to apply rights (e.g. autonomy / being used as a means) to non-sentients as they have no interests or needs to protect) We can grant rights to everything, but they can only be breached for sentient beings! Sentience/flourishing/suffering as the full range of simple & rich qualitative experiences, not just basic hedonistic pains & pleasures How every other interest or preference (e.g. freedom/autonomy) can be assessed through their impact on the quality of sentient experience ... Find the full show notes here. You can learn about Stijn’s work here: stijnbruers.wordpress.com & he's on Twitter here @StijnBruers. Stijn is on our “Sentientist wall” – why not join him there in helping to normalise compassionate, rational thinking?

New Article By Jerome R. Corsi, PhD on corsination.com https://corsination.com/covid-20/ Coup de Grâce How COVID-20 Will Use Fauci Patents To Deliver a Devastating HIV-1 Attack to the Intestines Preceding a SARS Attack to the Lungs Dr Corsi hypothesizes COVID-20 re-engineering will be complete when a third element from HIV-1 research leading to patents bearing Fauci’s name will be added Boris has revealed that OBL was merely captured in Pakistan, was transported to Libya for interrogation in the Benghazi compound, and was subsequently turned over to Putin for disposal. Dr. Corsi interviews attorney and United States Constitution expert KrisAnne Hall regarding the implications of fighting a medical situation with unlawful and wholly unConstitutional action. Attorney Hall posted "Shelter in Place Orders - Things of Kingson" her website says it all, and captures the essence of today's interview: "The current application of State and local authority to mandate the closure of businesses and require the people to restrict their activities to a list of government approved venues under the threat of force and punishment, is antithetical to everything America was built upon. These orders are arbitrary, deny due process, and are rife with unbridled discretion. Arbitrariness is the quality of being "determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle." A shelter in place order that requires places of worship to close, where a finite number of people attend for less than a few hours once a week, but then claims that Wal-Mart and liquor stores, where a limitless number of people come and go every day, all day may remain open, is completely arbitrary. Where is the science, where is the reason that says that people sitting in a church are more susceptible to a virus than those who go to Walmart or the liquor store? The answer is simple, it doesn’t exist. The decision to close the church, a shoe store, or private vacation rental property, and not Walmart is based upon a whim and an impulse, not facts or reason. By legal standard a government’s actions are arbitrary and capricious when they are founded upon unreasonable grounds or made with without any proper consideration of circumstances, deny due process and prejudice substantial rights. Rosemary Gibson, author of "China Rx": "Millions of Americans are taking prescription drugs made in China and don't know it--and pharmaceutical companies are not eager to tell them. This is a disturbing, well-researched wake-up call for improving the current system of drug supply and manufacturing. Boris concluded by outing Judge Emmet Sullivan as having been blackmailed into his incomprehensible actions during the persecution of General Flynn, and how that will also be made manifest. Politifact joins the "parade of the punked" - FAKE NEWS Deep State truth deniers continue to attack Dr. Corsi and other conservatives. Fauci appeared before Congress yesterday and amplified his assault on medications that worked and pleaded for the sick and dying to hold out in their bunkers for vaccines that will never work. Boris outlines how former US President Barack Hussein Obama is at the heart of all of the hidden misdeeds of his nefarious administration. Obama launched a coup d'Etat against President Trump, and no matter how hard he, his Cabal co-conspirators, the Deep State, and the FAKE NEWS try, they cannot prevent the truth from being revealed. Decades after Anthony Fauci was a failed eader in the fight against HIV/AIDS, his record of failure, promises made, no solutions found. Tune in Monday through Friday at 11:00am EDT for another show.

Therefore, the government’s exercise of authority in these Shelter In Place Orders to pick and choose which businesses can stay open and which cannot is by definition arbitrary and capricious." Bureaucrats only get away with what the people and politicians allow. The actions and edicts of Fauci and others are not specified in the Constitution, and the executives of the CDC, FDA, NIH, etc. serve at the pleasure of the chief executive of the United States, President Donald Trump. It is time for the people to stand up to the tyrants and make clear we are mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore. #SheepNoMore !
