“What's my address? Same as yours – “Mac” …” Crrow777“You've known a guy named Mac, and eaten a Big Mac, and now you have a Mac Address. At this rate, it will be the only info on your business card soon. …oh yeah, we don't have business cards anymore” I am not kidding when I say human beings are nearly blind. Consider the electromagnetic spectrum, where we find the visible light spectrum that allows us to see. Our species sees less than 0.0035% of the entire spectrum – nearly blind. Our eyes have three types of color-detecting cone cells, which allows us to see about 10,000 colors. There are creatures in this world that possess 12-16 photoreceptor types, allowing upwards of 100,000 colors to be detected. There are also animals and insects that see into ultraviolet, polarized light, and infrared heat, as is true of vipers. I am bringing this up to make a larger point, so please – read on! It is not only our very limited vision that places us firmly “behind the eight-ball” compared to other beings in this world. We have been taught to be 2/3 blind in how we think and try to make sense of the world. In my view, what I am about to explain is intentional, and was put in place to create an artificial limit on our abilities as a species. In my view, it was done to maintain control of society as a whole, while preventing discoveries that would allow us to free ourselves of things like paying for power, as one example of many. A related issue is the removal of “Æther” from the periodic table in 1908, immediately followed by General Electric bringing us electricity (pay-to-play) in 1910. By the way, you may find search engines telling you Æther was never on the periodic table. This is easy to prove wrong by simply finding old tables that include Æther. They are scarce now.

"If I can't say no to the Big Mac, or if I can't get my body to move intentionally, there's an element of self-mastery I don't possess. And so therefore I cannot give." ~ Chase CrouseWhat does John Paul II's Theology of the Body actually have to do with skipping the gym or ordering the Big Mac?Why might chasing your old "glory days" workout be the exact thing keeping you from getting healthier now?What's the real difference between comparing yourself to a fitness influencer and imitating a saint?In episode 107 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea sit down with Chase Crouse, founder of Hypuro Fit, a Catholic fitness and nutrition coaching platform built to help people grow in strength, discipline, and virtue. Chase served as a missionary with Net Ministries before earning degrees in biblical theology, and he shares the exact moment reading John Paul II's Theology of the Body that changed how he saw exercise entirely: the realization that self-donation is impossible without self-mastery, and that gift of self to God and others requires a body and will that are actually trained to give.From there, the conversation moves into the practical side of that theology. Chase breaks down why so many people fail to build a fitness habit, either chasing an all-or-nothing intensity from their athlete days or never having built any tolerance for discomfort at all, and introduces the idea of minimal effective dosing, doing the least amount necessary to get real results rather than burning out on unsustainable extremes.Kenna and Chase also dig into the difference between comparison and imitation, why social media makes fitness advice feel like hard science when it's actually full of nuance, and how the Catholic tradition has always framed imitation, of Christ and the saints, as the true goal rather than something to feel shamed by. Chase closes with the one piece of practical wisdom he gives every client trying to build a healthier morning routine.This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered if caring about their physical health is a distraction from their spiritual life, or anyone looking for permission to start smaller than they think they need to.Chapters:(00:00) - Cold Open(00:30) - Welcome and Meet Chase Crouse(02:42) - High and Hard: Postpartum Health and a New Book Launch(17:08) - From Personal Training to Founding Hypuro Fit(18:36) - The Theology of the Body Lightbulb Moment(28:17) - Why Habits Are Hard and the Power of Minimal Effective Dosing(39:35) - Filtering Fitness Advice: Comparison vs Imitation on Social Media(53:33) - Sleep, Prayer, and a Final Challenge by ChoiceLinks and Resources:Chase Crouse and Hypuro Fit - https://www.hypurofit.org/Sanctify Your Day: A Structure to Live an Intentional, Healthy, and Holy Life - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/sanctify-your-day/The God of Endurance: A Practical Guide for Incorporating Exercise and Nutrition into Your Spiritual Journey - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-god-of-endurance/Support the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

Support & Resources→ Support the show on Patreon→ Bayesian Modeling Course (first 2 lessons free)Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran). Check out his awesome workTakeaways:Q: How does putting a Gaussian process on unknown coordinates fix noisy location data in mineral prospecting?A: In mining and geostatistics, the classic Gaussian process model, known there as kriging, assumes you know exactly where each sample was taken. Chris' project broke that assumption on purpose: the recorded coordinates for each core sample were only accurate to within a rough radius. By treating the true locations as latent variables and putting a Gaussian process over them jointly with the measurements, the model could still reconstruct the underlying gold-concentration field, even though the exact sampling locations were never known precisely. It's a demonstration that Gaussian processes can absorb structural uncertainty that looks, at first glance, like it should make the problem impossible.Q: What is "Poverty Bayes," and what did it cost to train a two-million-parameter Bayesian model?A: Poverty Bayes was Chris' experiment in seeing how cheaply a large Bayesian model could be trained using modern cloud infrastructure. He fit a hierarchical logistic regression with close to two million parameters, using PyMC's Hamiltonian Monte Carlo on a single A100 GPU rented through Modal, a serverless platform that deploys a Python script straight to GPU hardware with almost no setup. He'd originally guessed it would cost around five dollars, the price of a Big Mac, but the real bill came in an order of magnitude lower. A model that would take a Gibbs sampler weeks to run, and that once required a research lab's dedicated GPU, now costs pocket change and a few minutes of setup.Q: What's the current bottleneck in Bayesian-at-scale tooling?A: Chris argues the software has largely caught up: PyMC's JAX backend and NumPyro make GPU-accelerated Bayesian modeling work out of the box for most problems. What's missing is common knowledge. Companies are clearly running large Bayesian models in production, but the results stay behind corporate firewalls. Chris' proposal is a community benchmark effort: which frameworks handle a million-parameter Markov random field on a given GPU out of the box, since this kind of expensive, slow-running benchmark is a poor fit for standard CI pipelines but valuable for the field to know.Chapters:22:57 When does GPU acceleration actually pay off for a Bayesian model?26:33 What did it cost to train a two-million-parameter model on Modal?30:36 What happened when Chris asked 200 different LLMs to flip a coin?34:50 Where do Bayesian ideas show up in the agentic AI systems Chris builds at Nvidia?40:16 Are statisticians being made obsolete by large language models?41:19 How does putting a Gaussian process on unknown coordinates fix noisy data in mineral prospecting?58:05 What is Chris looking forward to working on next?Thank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!Links from the show here
