(Bauplan, 2025) Con Jean-Philippe Kindler, autor; y Luis Doncel. Cuando todo el mundo piensa únicamente en sí mismo, no piensa en nadie. Una vez más, debemos situar el bienestar individual en relación al bienestar general y declarar que la pobreza, la felicidad, la crisis climática y la democracia son, más que nunca, zonas de batalla política por una buena vida para todos.

Vor über 500 Millionen Jahren beginnt eines der faszinierendsten Kapitel der Erdgeschichte: das Kambrium. Innerhalb weniger Millionen Jahre entstehen plötzlich Augen, Panzer, Gliedmaßen – die „kambrische Explosion“ verändert das Leben für immer. Doch wie kam es zu dieser urzeitlichen Artenvielfalt? Welche Kreaturen bevölkerten damals die Ozeane – und warum sehen viele von ihnen aus wie aus einem fremden Universum? Tim & Max tauchen ab in eine Zeit, in der das Leben auf der Erde erstmals komplex, gefährlich und kreativ wurde. Es geht um bizarre Fossilien, evolutionäre Durchbrüche – und die Frage, wie unser eigener Bauplan in dieser tiefen Vergangenheit entstand. Eine Folge über den großen Urknall der Tierwelt!

Manche Dinge in Beziehungen passieren – einfach, weil sie passieren müssen. Ganz gleich, wie sehr wir uns anstrengen, wie tief wir fühlen oder wie viel wir schon reflektiert haben: Bestimmte Dynamiken sind unvermeidlich. Nicht, weil wir etwas falsch machen. Sondern weil Beziehung einem eigenen inneren Bauplan folgt. Sie ist ein System. Ein lebendiges Ökosystem mit Gesetzmäßigkeiten, die wirken – ob wir sie verstehen oder nicht, ob wir sie ignorieren oder ihnen folgen. Und wenn in diesem System das Gleichgewicht kippt, merken wir das sofort. Dann knirscht's. Dann wird's eng. Oder still. Oder explosiv. In dieser zweiten Folge meiner Serie über Beziehungswahrheiten geht es genau darum: um Mechanismen, die sich durchsetzen – besonders dann, wenn wir nicht hinschauen. Wenn wir in alten Mustern landen. Oder anfangen, uns selbst nicht mehr wiederzuerkennen. Ich teile in dieser Folge fünf weitere Wahrheiten mit Dir, die ich immer wieder in meiner Arbeit mit Klient:innen erlebe. Sie klingen nicht bequem. Aber sie wirken. Und sie helfen, Beziehung mit anderen Augen zu sehen.Warum Du niemanden verändern kannst – und trotzdem nicht machtlos bist.Wie echte Nähe entsteht – nicht durch Kontrolle, sondern durch Verletzlichkeit.Weshalb Liebe ohne Entscheidung nicht trägt.Warum Beziehung keine Einbahnstraße ist.Und wieso man sich verlieren kann, obwohl man täglich nebeneinander aufwacht.Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, Deine Beziehung nicht nur als einen Zustand zu begreifen – sondern als dynamisches, lebendiges System. Und dessen ganz besondere Wirkmechanismen zu verstehen.#beziehung #authentizität #kommunikationWERBUNGAlle Infos, Partner und Rabatte findest Du hier: https://linktr.ee/leben.lieben.lassen.podcastLINKS AUS DIESER FOLGE:geführte Meditationen von Leben-Lieben-Lassen Playlist (Spotify)CLAUDIA, LINKS UND RESSOURCENWeitere Inspiration auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leben_lieben_lassen_podcast/Webseite & Beratung: https://leben-lieben-lassen.de/Alle Infos zu mir und meinen Angeboten: https://linktr.ee/Leben_Lieben_LassenLeben Lieben Lassen-Podcast in deiner App hören: https://pod.link/1102340111HÖRERFRAGEN IM PODCASTStelle mir ganz anonym Deine Frage in der "Leben-Lieben-Lassen"-Sprechstunde und werde Teil der Show.

Der Möglichmacher Podcast mit Jan Schmiedel - Erkennen ist krasser als tun!

Du willst ein Konzept für Deine Seele? Dann lass Dir eins sagen: Deine Seele interessiert sich nicht für Deine Tabellen, To-do-Listen oder Seelenpläne. Sie braucht keine Methode. Keine Strategie. Sie will nur eins: Dass Du endlich zuhörst. Diese Folge baut auf „Projektmanagement Leben“ auf – und geht tiefer. Viel tiefer. Ich spreche über die geistige Verwirrung, in der wir Begriffe wie Seele, Geist, Bewusstsein und Unterbewusstsein durcheinanderwerfen, als wären sie austauschbar. Kein Wunder, dass viele Heilungswege im Kreis verlaufen – wer seine innere Landkarte nicht kennt, irrt. In einer Welt, in der mentale Gesundheit oft mit Funktionieren verwechselt wird, glauben viele: Wer heilt, hat ein Konzept gefunden. Wer leidet, sucht nur noch nicht konsequent genug. Bullshit. Transformation folgt keinem Bauplan. Und Selbstermächtigung heißt nicht, jedes Problem zu kontrollieren – sondern endlich aufhören zu wollen, alles zu verstehen. Die Systemlogik will, dass Du Dich optimierst. Ich sage Dir: Du hast das Recht auf Nichtwissen. Auf echte Erfahrung. Auf einen Weg, der nur Dir gehört. Und Du wirst ihn nicht finden, solange Du Dich an Konzepten festklammerst, die Dich kleinhalten. Wenn Du also nach einem Seelenplan suchst – leg den Stift aus der Hand. Diese Folge ist keine Bedienungsanleitung. Sie ist ein Fluchttunnel raus aus dem mentalen Beton, den Dir das System gebaut hat. Und sie ist ein Ruf: Zurück in Deine Tiefe. Dorthin, wo Du wirklich spürst, was für Dich stimmt. Vergiss das „Wie“. Erinnere Dich. Erkennen, leben, frei sein! Ich bin Jan Schmiedel, ein moderner Skalde. Meine Reise ist meine Botschaft – eine Suche nach Klarheit, Wahrheit und dem Mut, sich selbst zu begegnen. In einer Welt, die dich mit Erwartungen und Lärm überflutet, glaube ich daran, dass wahre Freiheit nur entsteht, wenn du bereit bist, deine eigene Dunkelheit zu durchschreiten und dein Licht zu entdecken. Hier geht es nicht um Perfektion, sondern um Authentizität. Nicht darum, zu gefallen, sondern darum, zu erkennen, wer du wirklich bist. Ich lade dich ein, die Ketten zu sprengen, die du dir selbst angelegt hast, und den Weg zu gehen, der nur dir gehört. Gemeinsam erforschen wir die Pfade, die zu deinem wahren Selbst führen. Es geht nicht darum, etwas zu tun – es geht darum, zu sein. Zu fühlen. Zu wachsen. Die Weisheit liegt nicht in der Antwort, sondern in der Frage, die du dir selbst stellst. Wenn du bereit bist, die Masken fallen zu lassen und dich deiner eigenen Wahrheit zu stellen, begleite ich dich. Nicht als Lehrer, sondern als Weggefährte. Dein Licht und deine Freiheit sind keine Ziele – sie sind bereits in dir. Mein Weg hat mich dazu gebracht, dass ich eine schwere Depression mit suizidalität und einer komplexern Traumafolgestörung selber geheilt habe.  Willst du mehr über diesen Weg erfahren? Finde mich auf meiner Webseite: www.janschmiedel.coach  Wahre Freiheit beginnt mit radikaler Ehrlichkeit – dir selbst gegenüber. #Selbsterkenntnis #JanSchmiedel #ErkennenIstLeben #MentaleFreiheit #Transformation #Perspektivwechsel #Selbstermächtigung #AuthentischSein #LebenImLicht

Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge hier im Podcast ketogener Lifestyle und Biohacking.Schön dass du wieder eingeschaltet hast. Heute erfährst du alles zum Thema „Sabotieren deine Gene deinen Abnehmerfolg mit Keto?! (Finde es heraus)“. Was, wenn dein genetischer Bauplan entscheidet, ob Keto für dich funktioniert oder nicht? In diesem Interview spricht Florence mit Epigenetik-Coach Thorsten Schmitt über die faszinierende Welt der Genetik, individuelle Ernährung und die Rolle unseres Lebensstils. Gemeinsam decken sie auf, warum manche Menschen trotz Keto keine Ergebnisse sehen und wie bestimmt Gene deinen Stoffwechsel beeinflussen - aber auch, wie du deine Gene gezielt aktivieren kannst. Ganz viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

At a global level, Homo sapiens have reshaped the planet Earth to such an extent that we now talk of a new geological age, the Anthropocene. But each of us shapes our own worlds, physically, symbolically, and in the worlds of imagination. This symposium focuses especially on one form of construction, the construction of buildings, while stressing that such construction is ever shaped by diverse factors from landscape to culture and the construction of history embodied in it - and more. After a brief look at birds building their nests as an example of variation on a species-specific Bauplan, we sample a broad sweep of cultural evolution and niche construction from the earliest stone tools of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens through the Neolithic and the rise of cities to the formal and informal architecture of the present day. Finally, we explore the ways artificial intelligence may further change how humans construct their mental and physical worlds.

The symbolic tools we use to design and construct our environments have been transformed by the so-called Cybernetic revolution and the innovations in materials technology that have accompanied them. The integration of computers, the Internet of Things, embedded robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) supports the development of intelligent/smart buildings where specific levels of automation can be tailored to every type of building use and occupancy. This talk will emphasize smart architecture as being based on insights into how buildings may affect human well-being whether or not novel technology is employed. This involves a critical assessment of when and where AI and related technologies should be incorporated into the built environment. A complementary concern is with how AI will affect the way humans see their place in their social and "natural" worlds when we can no longer see humans as the only possessors of "intelligence."

The site of Göbekli Tepe is well known as a settlement of the transitional phase in SW-Asia, in which the greater mobility of the Palaeolithic increasingly gave way to the more permanent settlement of the Neolithic. This talk uses the example of Göbekli Tepe to explore the linkage of buildings with ecology, climate, economy, cultural, political, symbolic systems, and creation of networks between dwellings. The central question is to what extent it is possible to understand how people in the Neolithic constructed their world. Based on this, the talk will challenge the regnant hypothesis that Göbekli Tepe served as a central ritual site and meeting place that acted as a driving force for the spread of Neolithization. This provides an important addition to developing a perspective on the precursor forms of habitation for buildings whose architectural remains we can examine today.

The Australian Aboriginal world had become characterized by low environmental impact habitation, complex social organization systems anchored within constructed sacred origin histories, the persistence of relatively simple dwelling types situated within complex settlement sociospatial structures, and a high quality of life for most, with institutional dispute resolution mechanisms to contain conflicts.

The transition from Neolithic villages to early cities marked the greatest social transformation faced by our species before the Industrial Revolution. Our ancestors had to learn how to live in new settlements that had more people, higher densities, and more activities than had been known previously. The new adaptations to urban life involved changes in society and social processes, not just individual learning. Some changes came about through social interactions in a process called energized crowding; these include innovations in housing and the use of space, and the establishment of neighborhoods in cities. Other changes were driven by powerful new institutions, including formal governments and social classes. Do ancient cities—and they ways they responded to shocks—might hold useful insights for the development of urban adaptations to climate change today?

This talk provides a deep time perspective for assessing the behavioural implications of the creation of the earliest known structure and the technologies used in its making. Evidence for the earliest structure appears relatively late, about 500,000 years ago in Zambia, and before the evolution of Homo sapiens. The next oldest structures were made by Neanderthals in Europe, 176,000 years ago. The site in Zambia preserves rare evidence for the shaping and fitting together of two tree trunks to make a stable framework. The process of combining parts to make a whole reflects a conceptually new approach to technology, one which remains central to everything we make as humans, including structures. Did the invention of combinatorial technology require the use of language to discuss and evaluate diverse ways to form new constructs and constructions? This question arises from the extended planning and expertise needed in the making of combinatorial tools.    Series: "CARTA - Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny" [Humanities] [Science] [Show ID: 40160]

As distinct from the buildings of termites (interesting though these are), bird nests offer a more apropos point of comparison for human buildings – they are conducted by single vertebrate (or a few) and can be adapted to varied circumstances, with even a small effect of social learning. However, the basic Bauplan remains species-specific, unlike the creativity of the human architect. Since nonhuman primates lack interesting building skills, and so we suggest that bird nest construction may come to play a similar comparative role for architectural design. The static Bauplan of birds can be compared to the near-stasis of human tool use until the end of the Paleolithic, challenging us to assess the changes in human practice that unlocked an increasingly rapid process of cultural evolution.

At a global level, Homo sapiens have reshaped the planet Earth to such an extent that we now talk of a new geological age, the Anthropocene. But each of us shapes our own worlds, physically, symbolically, and in the worlds of imagination. This symposium focuses especially on one form of construction, the construction of buildings, while stressing that such construction is ever shaped by diverse factors from landscape to culture and the construction of history embodied in it - and more. After a brief look at birds building their nests as an example of variation on a species-specific Bauplan, we sample a broad sweep of cultural evolution and niche construction from the earliest stone tools of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens through the Neolithic and the rise of cities to the formal and informal architecture of the present day. Finally, we explore the ways artificial intelligence may further change how humans construct their mental and physical worlds.

It provides a useful complement to the non-urban perspective on ecology offered by the talk on “The indigenous architecture of Australia.” Architecture has been shaped in every era by our access to energy, from fire to farming to fossil fuels. The talk will discuss a range of buildings of the past fifteen thousand years from Uruk, via Ancient Rome and Victorian Liverpool, to China's booming megacities. If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change one important ingredients is to design beautiful but also intelligent buildings, and to retrofit - not demolish - those that remain.

Human "place-making" began over a million years ago when early humans made the hearth the center of social life. By 450,000 years ago, they were using caves in southwest Asia and sometimes buried their dead beneath the floor, linking memory-making with place-making. Hunter-gatherers started settling seasonally around 24,000 years ago, with permanent stone settlements by 13,000 BCE. Large, co-resident communities became common in the Holocene. The Neolithic (9600-6000 BCE) saw major social, economic, and cultural innovations, including architecture, monuments, and symbolic systems. Neolithic societies, with their complex economic relations, proto-urban patterns, and ritualistic architecture, were the first "imagined communities," deeply tied to memory and social symbolism.
