Progressives across Texas are taking note of the recent return of former Tarrant County Democratic Party Chair Allison Campolo to that important post. As the political tides turn across the nation, a flip in Tarrant County would likely be a harbinger of even more widespread and long-overdue change across the Lone Star State, so having an experienced progressive fighter (and actual Kung Fu champion) in this key position is welcome news indeed. Progress Texas board member and longtime Fort Worth politico Jason Smith joins us for a fun and important discussion.Learn more about Allison Campolo and the Tarrant County Democratic Party at https://tarrantdemocrats.org/.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 14 Juli 2025Bacaan: "..... Dengan bertobat dan tinggal diam kamu akan diselamatkan, dalam tinggal tenang dan percaya terletak kekuatanmu." (Yesaya 30:15)Renungan: Suatu ketika Tony Campolo menceritakan tentang kunjungannya ke rumah duka karena ada seseorang yang meninggal. Tanpa sengaja ia mengunjungi ruangan yang salah. Di ruangan itu hanya ada jenazah seorang laki-laki tua dan istrinya yang menjaga jenazah itu. Istrinya adalah satu-satunya pengunjung yang hadir. Wanita itu kelihatann begitu kesepian sehingga Campolo memutuskan untuk tetap tinggal dan mengikuti pemakaman. Ia bahkan mengantarkan jenazah itu ke tempat penguburan. Di akhir ibadah penguburan itu, Campolo akhirnya mengaku kepada janda itu bahwa ia tidak mengenal suaminya. Janda itu berkata, "Saya sudah menyadarinya. Tetapi hal itu tidak penting. Yang harus anda ketahui adalah betapa berartinya kehadiran anda dan apa yang anda lakukan untuk saya. Saya merasa tidak sendirian menanggung duka ini, karena kehadiran anda menguatkan saya." Seringkali orang yang sedang menderita perlu kehadiran orang-orang seperti Campolo. Seseorang yang hadir pada saat dibutuhkan, yang mau mendengar, yang tidak tergesa-gesa ingin pergi, yang bersedia memeluk, merangkul dan menangis bersama. Pendek kata, seseorang yang menyediakan diri dan mau menyelami perasaan orang yang sedang dalam kesusahan. Tuhan Yesus sudah memulainya untuk kita. Kini Ia mau kita melakukan hal yang sama terhadap sahabat, kenalan, keluarga dan orang-orang yang kita kasihi. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau selalu ada untukku. Walau secara jasmani Engkau tidak hadir dalam setiap kesusahanku, tapi kuasa penyertaan-Mu senantasa ada untukku. Terima kasih juga atas kehadiran-Mu dalam diri orang-orang yang senantiasa Kau kirim untuk menguatkan dan mendoakanku. Mampukan aku juga Yesus, agar kehadirankupun dapat memberikan kekuatan dan ketenangan bagi mereka yang mengalami pergumulan dalam hidupnya. Amin. (Dod).

Tony Campolo, the Baptist preacher, sociologist, Red Letter Christian and ceaseless campaigner for a Christian vision of social justice, has died. In this episode, we pay tribute to Tony in the best way we know how: by letting him speak for himself. Eventually. First, we talk about our own memories of him, and his influence on our theology. But once we've done making it about us, we share an interview with Tony from the vaults. In 2012, Tony Campolo was concerned about many of the things that are now even more pressing and horrifying. The interview feels prophetic in multiple understandings of the word, and Campolo is solid on everything from American militarism and imperialism to the incompatibility of Christian spirituality with right-wing ideological selfishness. His identification of the central problem with evangelical engagement with culture -- the idea that everything gets better if people become Christians -- is expressed particularly poignantly, considering where we are with the Church in the West. We hope you enjoy hearing from Tony again, and that you remember his family and friends at this time. Full disclosure: we also talk a lot about why we're excited about our new magazine, S(h)ibboleth. We hope it doesn't come across as a sales pitch and more as the genuine excitement we're feeling about connecting more Christians with similar beliefs and making the world better as a result. Naive? Maybe. Worth a shot? Sure. Fun? Hell yeah. Find out deets at shibbolethmag.com and beerchristianity.co.uk

AF - Agents that act for reasons: a thought experiment by Michele Campolo

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Agents that act for reasons: a thought experiment, published by Michele Campolo on January 24, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Posted also on the EA Forum. In Free agents I've given various ideas about how to design an AI that reasons like an independent thinker and reaches moral conclusions by doing so. Here I'd like to add another related idea, in the form of a short story / thought experiment. Cursed Somehow, you have been cursed. As a result of this unknown curse that is on you now, you are unable to have any positive or negative feeling. For example, you don't feel pain from injuries, nothing makes you anxious or excited or sad, you can't have fun anymore. If it helps you, imagine your visual field without colours, only with dull shades of black and white that never feel disgusting or beautiful. Before we get too depressed, let's add another detail: this curse also makes you immune to death (and other states similar to permanent sleep or unconsciousness). If you get stabbed, your body magically recovers as if nothing happened. Although this element might add a bit of fun to the story from our external perspective, keep in mind that the cursed version of you in the story doesn't feel curious about anything, nor has fun when thinking about the various things you could do as an immortal being. No one else is subject to the same curse. If you see someone having fun and laughing, the sentence "This person is feeling good right now" makes sense to you: although you can't imagine nor recall what feeling good feels like, your understanding of the world around you remained intact somehow. (Note: I am not saying that this is what would actually happen in a human being who actually lost the capacity for perceiving valence. It's a thought experiment!) Finally, let's also say that going back to your previous life is not an option. In this story, you can't learn anything about the cause of the curse or how to reverse it. To recap: You can't feel anything You can't die You can't go back to your previous state The curse only affects you. Others' experiences are normal. In this situation, what do you do? In philosophy, there is some discourse around reasons for actions, normative reasons, motivating reasons, blah blah blah. Every philosopher has their own theory and uses words differently, so instead of citing centuries of philosophical debates, I'll be maximally biased and use one framework that seems sensible to me. In Ethical Intuitionism, contemporary philosopher Michael Huemer distinguishes "four kinds of motivations we are subject to": Appetites: examples are hunger, thirst, lust (simple, instinctive desires) Emotions: anger, fear, love (emotional desires, they seem to involve a more sophisticated kind of cognition than appetites) Prudence: motivation to pursue or avoid something because it furthers or sets back one's own interests, like maintaining good health Impartial reasons: motivation to act due to what one recognises as good, fair, honest, et cetera. You can find more details in section 7.3 of the book. We can interpret the above thought experiment as asking: in the absence of appetites and emotions - call these two "desires", if you wish - what would you do? Without desires and without any kind of worry about your own death, does it still make sense to talk about self-interest? What would you do without desires and without self-interest? My guess is that, in the situation described in Cursed, at least some, if not many, would decide to do things for others. The underlying intuition seems to be that, without one's own emotional states and interests, one would prioritise others' emotional states and interests, simply due to the fact that nothing else seems worth doing in that situation. In other words, although one might need emotional states to first develop an accu...
