Podcasts about buy the moral limits

How can Christian leaders face the "overwhelm" of our times, in politics and national life, in personal life and relationships, and in ministry? We live in an age of what our guest today calls "polycrisis." Issues interconnect, pile on, and come hard and fast, faster than we can fix or, often, respond to in a thoughtful or Christian way.How do we avoid either inaction or anxiousness?We'll seek what our guest today calls "apocalyptic clarity." And we'll ask, "How do we recognize what's true, despite appearances, resist what's false, and participate joyfully in what God is doing?" This turns out to be a helpful window to perspective and practical decision making in a 21st-century Christian life. Our guest today is the Rev. Dr. Jesse Zink, principal of Montreal Diocesan Theological College and canon theologian in the Diocese of Montreal. And we'll be discussing his latest book, Faithful, Hopeful, Creative: 15 Theses for Christian Witness in a Crisis-Shaped World. He's also the author of four books about Christian history and global Christianity, as well as an introduction to theology and mission in the Episcopal Church called A Faith for the Future.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveThis week, our in-house philosopher and very own Editor-at-Large returns to the podcast for a one-on-one discussion with about wealth, ambition and whether they are the paths toward happiness.How do societal values, especially those in American culture, influence our sense of fulfillment? The guys probe why those who are perceived as the most successful — like tech entrepreneurs and posh weekend travelers — seem to be the least happy. This opens up questions about how those who face adversity find forms of happiness be it through a craft, a spiritual pursuit, or the broader expectations baked into their life circumstance. This deep and free-wheeling episode opens up rifts between Shadi and Sam's perspectives on the utility of the happiness literature, the role economics and material success play, and what we sacrifice in the pursuit of what we think will ultimately bring us contentment.In the full episode (for paying subscribers only), Shadi and Sam continue exploring the tension between ambition and spiritual fulfillment. They explore how societal values, rooted in seeing humans as economic entities, lead to existential despair. Shadi calls attention to how religious practices, like Ramadan, compel individuals to break from a regimen of relentless productivity and consumption. This episode is a real treat and we're excited to share it with you.Required Reading:* Friendship as Sacred Knowing: Overcoming Isolation by Samuel Kimbriel (Amazon).* “Thinking Is Risky” by Samuel Kimbriel (Wisdom of Crowds).* What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets by Michael Sandel (Amazon).* The Sickness Unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition For Upbuilding And Awakening by Soren Kierkegaard (Amazon).* More about Aspen Institute's Society and Philosophy Initiative.Wisdom of Crowds is a platform challenging premises and understanding first principles on politics and culture.

He is the world's most popular contemporary philosopher. Michael Sandel, Professor at Harvard University and 2018 Princess of Asturias Award for Social Sciences, aims to put civic education on the table and connect philosophy with our daily lives. This professor of Political Philosophy seeks to revive the Socratic spirit and stops to talk to people to inquire what justice is or what the “common good” means. He does this inside and, more importantly, outside the classroom. In the BBC series ‘The Global Philosopher', he leads video discussions with participants from over thirty countries on the ethical aspects of issues such as immigration or climate change. His writings on justice, ethics, democracy and markets have been translated into more than 25 languages, including the book ‘What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets'. The philosopher also teaches "Justice", the first Harvard course available for free online and on television.

As Samuel Johnson famously said, “Hell is paved with good intentions.” And many of the previous attempts to commodify carbon, in forests for instance, excluded the very people who were impacted most and led to a number of unintended consequences. So, how can Nori create a market that quantifies carbon removal—without making those same mistakes?   Dr. Lauren Gifford is a critical geographer exploring the intersections of global climate policy, conservation, markets and justice. She is also the host of Carbon Social Club and the author of a recent paper entitled “‘You Can’t Value What You Can’t Measure’: A Critical Look at Forest Carbon Accounting.” On this episode, we dig into avoided deforestation credits, REDD/REDD+, and the dynamics at play when carbon is commoditized in forestry and in general.   Lauren describes the carbon colonialism charge that is often levied against early iterations of REDD, explaining why the Global North’s investment in saving high-density tropical rainforests failed, how the money was actually spent, and what unintended consequences emerged around these carbon offset projects. Listen in for Lauren’s insight on the danger in financializing a forest and learn how Nori is considering issues of equity and justice as we work to standardize an efficient way of quantifying carbon.   Key Takeaways   [2:34] Lauren’s work around the commodification of carbon 10 years looking at forest carbon assets Consider who’s included + excluded   [4:59] The origin of carbon credits for forestry REDD introduced at UNFCCC 2007 Paid forest stewards not to cut down trees   [7:18] What happened to the money invested to save the rainforest $4M invested in project in NC Peru $100K to $300K for people doing conservation work Rest spent on bureaucracies (make forest carbon legible in markets)   [11:44] The driving question behind Lauren’s doctoral research What is a forest carbon offset? Means something different to every player along pipeline   [13:42] Lauren’s insight on carbon colonialism Unintended consequences, justice implications of development  Top-down environmental governance (how dominant community wants managed)   [18:19] The danger in financializing forests Seen as financial entity, overlooks biodiversity/habitat Becomes dominant way of understanding space   [23:42] Donating to soil carbon projects vs. creating complex markets Both good ways to remove carbon from atmosphere Nori looking to standardize efficient way to quantify   [27:59] Lauren’s take on why we’d be better off without REDD+ Very colonial from beginning (Global North pay off ecological guilt) Tumultuous land tenure, can’t prevent deforestation in weak states   [32:13] How the terms baseline and additionality are defined Baseline = business-as-usual scenario (defined by own parameters) Additionality = carbon sequestration beyond baseline   [38:33] Nori’s intention to avoid the criticisms of previous carbon markets Relationship between environment + finance = hotly contested Carefully consider unintended consequences, who’s left out   [41:54] How Nori thinks about the loss of small farms in the US Farmers empowered to get together in cooperatives Make easy to play part in market (but not ‘savior’)   [44:16] What equity and justice mean to the Nori team Can’t serve intended communities without those core values Build equitable talent funnel for diversity of perspective   Connect with Ross & Christophe   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori on Patreon Nori Newsletter Email podcast@nori.com  Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Lauren’s Academic Website Carbon Social Club “‘You Can’t Value What You Can’t Measure’: A Critical Look at Forest Carbon Accounting” in Climatic Change United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Jerome Whitington  The Carbon Rush: The Truth Behind the Carbon Market Smokescreen by Amy Miller Patrick Bond What Money Can’t Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets by Michael J.

On this episode, Jesse & Matt discuss the third most important element of The Golden Square which is so simple and obvious, that it's remarkable this idea is even contested as a human right in the Yankee-lands of Ol' Red, White and Blue: the absolute right to healthcare for every human being on Earth. Matthew will provide a surprising prologue about what's suddenly taken place in his personal life since this episode's initial recording and open up about his mother's life-long illness; in call & response fashion, Jesse will then talk about what it was like to get healthcare in Sarah-Palin-Land as a child. The co-hosts will also explore their personal relationships to this essential cornerstone to The Golden Square, and their own anxieties about having access to healthcare as middle-aged men with pre-existing conditions. And lastly, Matt & Jesse will look at healthcare systems around the world, and offer up a poignant portrait of the very near and immediate struggles facing activists as they fight for a momentous Single Payer bill in California (SB-562).

Why do people stand in line? Or is it “on line”? Of course it isn’t. But the question remains.
