You've probably come across the "free energy principle." It's become one of the most influential ideas in the broader cognitive sciences. Since the neuroscientist Karl Friston first introduced it in 2005, the theory has been fleshed out, extended, generalized, criticized, and cited thousands and thousands of times. But what is this idea, exactly? What does it say about the nature of brains and minds? What does it say about the phenomenon of life itself? And is anything that it says really that new? My guest today is Dr. Kate Nave. Kate is a philosopher at the University of Edinburgh and the author of the new book, A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate offers an extended critical analysis of the free energy principle and situates it in a broader landscape of ideas about the nature of life and mind. In this conversation, Kate and I talk about how the free energy principle has changed over time, from its beginnings as a theory of cortical responses in the brain to its eventual status as a theory of... well, a lot. We discuss why this theory has had such an enormous influence, and we talk about how many of the key ideas behind it actually have a long history. We consider some kindred spirits of the free energy framework— approaches like cybernetics, enactivism, predictive processing, and autopoiesis. We walk through a series of questions that all these approaches have long grappled with. Questions like: What does it mean to be alive? What is the relationship between being alive and being cognitive? What are the roles of prediction and representation in cognition? And we ask how—if it all—the free energy principle gives us new answers to these old questions. Along the way, Kate and I touch on: surprisal, visual phenomenology, vitalism, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, Maturana and Varela, pendulums and bacteria, computation and models, primordial purposiveness, pancakes, and whether we'll ever be able to create artificial life. As you might be able to tell from the description I just gave, this conversation goes pretty deep—and it does get a bit technical. It dives down into the history and philosophy around some of the most foundational questions we can ask about minds. If that sounds like your cup of tea, enjoy. Alright friends, on to my conversation with Dr. Kate Nave!   A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.   Notes and links 5:00 – The 2005 paper in which Karl Friston proposed the principle of free energy minimization. Friston later generalized the ideas here and here. 14:00 – For influential philosophical work on action in perception, see Alva Nöe's book, Action in Perception. 17:00 – One of the classic works in the “enactivist” tradition is Evan Thompson's book, Mind in Life. 18:00 – The actual quip, credited to Carl Sagan, is about “apple pie” not pancakes: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” 20:00 – The notion of “autopoiesis” (or “self-creation”) was introduced by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela in their book, Autopoiesis and Cognition. 24:00 – A classic paper of cybernetics from 1943, ‘Behavior, purpose, and teleology.' 37:00 – For more on the idea of “predictive processing,” see our earlier episode with Dr. Mark Miller. 43:00 – For a discussion of the idea of “representation” in the philosophy of cognitive science, see here. For a discussion of “anti-representationalism,” see here.   Recommendations ‘Organisms, Machines, and Thunderstorms: A History of Self-Organization,' (part 1) (part 2), Evelyn Fox Keller The Mechanization of the Mind, Jean-Pierre Dupuy ‘The Reflex Machine and the Cybernetic Brain,' Mazvita Chirimuuta   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

It's a new month and that means another new series!! Today and every Sunday in April it'll be Sci-Fi Sunday covering some classics and sequels to some classic sci-fi flicks. First up is Contact, based on the novel by noted science guy Carl Sagan.More Content: https://www.patreon.com/neverseenitpodEmail: neverseenitpod@gmail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/neverseenit_podBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/neverseenit.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/neverseenitpod1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neverseenitpod1Movie info: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118884/

Pep Martorell es director del Barcelona Supercomputing Center, hogar del MareNostrum 5. Sentimos una extraña mezcla de fascinación y temor por las nuevas tecnologías. La ciencia tiene un impacto en el mundo en el que vivimos y la computación del superordenador soluciona problemas que no podemos tan siquiera concebir. Escribió Eduardo Mendoza en su precioso discurso de aceptación del Premio Cervantes que “las vocaciones tempranas son árboles con muchas hojas, poco tronco y ninguna raíz”. Pep, que divulga también en su propio Substack, entró en el campo de la física fascinado por los documentales de Cosmos. Carl Sagan contagió y sigue contagiando a muchos jóvenes en busca de una vocación. Ese hombre, con su pasión por la ciencia, despertó la curiosidad de muchos y mi esperanza es que este podcast haga lo mismo.Quiero dar las gracias a la Cambra de Comerç de Barcelona por haber hecho posible este episodio. Me permitieron grabar en su fantástico ático de Diagonal y no habría podido encontrar un emplazamiento mejor para la charla con Pep. La propuesta de la Cambra es atractiva para todo tipo de perfiles relacionados con el mundo de la empresa y te animo a que explores los eventos que allí organizan. La Cambra quiere ser un punto de encuentro empresarial en la ciudad de Barcelona, facilitando conexiones inesperadas y creando oportunidades en la serendipia que se genera en esos círculos. Siempre la opcionalidad del amigo Taleb, los accidentes positivos de los que te hablo en Kapital.Así narra Stephen Fry el regalo del fuego por parte de Prometeo, en su fantástico libro Los mitos griegos revisitados: “Cuando les mostró a los hombres aquel demonio saltarín y célebre danzarín, de primeras chillaron atemorizados y recularon ante las llamas. Pero la curiosidad pronto superó al miedo y comenzaron a solazarse con aquel nuevo juguete mágico, aquella sustancia, fenómeno..., llamadlo como queráis. Supieron por Prometeo que el fuego no era su enemigo sino un poderoso aliado que, convenientemente domesticado, tenía diez mil millares de usos. Prometeo pasó de una aldea a otra enseñándoles técnicas para fabricar herramientas y armas, cocer cacerolas de arcilla, cocinar carne y hornear masas de cereales, lo que enseguida desencadenó una avalancha de ventajas que supuso la prevalencia del hombre sobre la presa animal, que no podía reaccionar a las lanzas y flechas de punta metálica. No tardó mucho Zeus en bajar la mirada desde el Olimpo y ver puntos de titilante luz naranja salpicando el paisaje a su alrededor. Al instante supo lo que había sucedido. Tampoco hizo falta que le dijesen quién era el responsable. Su ira fue arrebatada y terrible. Jamás se había presenciado una furia tan extrema, tan tumultuosa, tan apocalíptica. Ni siquiera Urano, en su mutilada agonía, había experimentado una rabia tan vengativa. Urano fue vencido por un hijo que le resultaba indiferente, pero Zeus había sido traicionado por el amigo al que más amaba. Ninguna traición podía ser más terrible.”Índice:1:21 Temor ancestral a lo desconocido.8:52 Labatut ve al científico como un poeta.19:10 Mirar en el abismo del conocimiento.27:06 Las bellísimas lecciones de Sagan.30:51 Faltan chicas en las carreras STEM.42:56 La tradición catalana de comprar tecnología en Andorra.51:35 Conferencia en Solvay en 1927.1:03:15 Los misterios del big bang.1:06:58 Hablar de Newton es como hablar de Messi.1:16:51 Un superordenador en una capilla.1:25:58 Ich probiere.1:35:06 AlphaGo.1:41:53 Nobel de Química para el plegado de proteínas.1:45:59 Kasparov contra Deep Blue.1:48:23 Destrucción mutua asegurada.1:59:39 El bosón de Higgs.2:06:31 Misterios por resolver.Apuntes:Cosmos.

Siamo giunti alla penultima tappa del nostro viaggio attraverso le frontiere del linguaggio nel fantasy e nella fantascienza. In questo episodio conclusivo, esploriamo due opere monumentali che hanno ridefinito il nostro modo di concepire la comunicazione con l'Altro.Embassytown di China Miéville ci catapulta in un mondo dove il linguaggio è un'arma, una forza viva che plasma la realtà stessa. Analizzeremo come Miéville decostruisce le nostre certezze linguistiche, portandoci a interrogarci sulla natura del significato e della comprensione.Contact di Carl Sagan ci conduce in un'odissea cosmica alla ricerca di un messaggio alieno. Attraverso la lente della scienza e della filosofia, esploreremo le sfide e le meraviglie del contatto con un'intelligenza extraterrestre, e come questo incontro possa trasformare la nostra visione dell'universo e di noi stessi.Unitevi a noi in questo viaggio, dove le parole si trasformano in ponti tra mondi, e il linguaggio diventa la chiave per svelare i misteri dell'esistenza."Discord: https://discord.gg/zPH6EeEgfXCanale Telegram: https://t.me/blablafantasPagina Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bla.blafantasy/

Brian Schmidt is absolutely one of these extraordinary people - a normal person who's lived an entirely abnormal life. Besides being awarded a Nobel Prize, Brian was also the Vice Chancellor of the Australian National University for eight years, including during the Covid pandemic. He's a physicist, astrologist and astrophysicist by training, receiving his undergrad from the University of Arizona then his PhD from Harvard. For more than 30 years he's called Australia home, making the move here and becoming one of the most significant figures in the history of humanity's understanding of the universe and our extremely small place in it.This was a brilliant conversation - covering everything from Brian's research to his time at ANU, his views on Australia's education system, the role of universities and how we can all approach learning, education and lifelong development. As well, we chat about how Brian thinks about hard problems, his own calculus in making a difference today on some of the world's greatest challenges from food shortages to nuclear proliferation.This was a real honour. Brian is a global leader in his field - one of the greatest that's ever lived - so to spend some time with him was remarkable, and I hope you take from this how within reach the extraordinary is. The newsletter is out this week on the theme of choice. With Brian on the show to explore and understand cosmology, astronomy and physics, the great Carl Sagan is appropriate this week - “We are the legacy of 15 billion years of cosmic evolution. We can enhance life and come to know the universe that made us. Or we can squander our 15 billion year heritage in meaningless self destruction.”Til next time, thanks for listening.Events are live and more are coming - follow on Humanitix.Follow on LinkedIn, Substack and Instagram. Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED that every child, by the time they're 13 or so, should have a good grounding in three specific skills. They should be able to read well; they should have a decent understanding of their individual rights, especially freedom of speech and the sanctity of a free press; and they should understand the scientific method and how it works. Science is real, and it is as accurate as anything can possibly be BECAUSE it is designed to be ferociously self-critical. What if our political system worked the same way? Wow—what an amazing thing THAT would be! Let me say that another way: what if we were to unleash the scientific method on POLITICAL science? What would THAT look like! In this episode, I take a look at that, with the help of none other than Carl Sagan. Have a listen.

Dinosaurs, Carl Sagan, and nuclear war. There was a moment in the not-so-distant past when we learned what drove the dinosaurs extinct — and that discovery, made during the Cold War, may have helped save humans from the same fate. In this episode, we'll take a journey from prehistoric times to the nuclear age and explore how humans contend with fears of the end.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Some podcast apps may not display links from our show notes properly, so we have included a list of links at the end of this description. * As we approach the first season change of the year, we are finding ourselves inclined to revisit this conversation centered on time and ritual featuring author Sasha Sagan and CIIS Interdisciplinary Arts professor Carolyn Cooke. * Sasha Sagan was raised by secular parents, the astronomer Carl Sagan and the writer and producer Ann Druyan. They taught her that the natural world and vast cosmos are full of profound beauty, that science reveals truths more wondrous than any myth or fable. * When Sasha herself became a mother, she began her own hunt for the natural phenomena behind our most treasured occasions—from births to deaths, holidays to weddings, anniversaries, and more—growing these roots into a new set of rituals for her young daughter that honor the joy and significance of each experience without relying on religious frameworks. * Sasha's first book, For Small Creatures Such As We, is part memoir, part guidebook, and part social history—a luminous exploration of Earth's marvels that require no faith in order to be believed. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on October 10th, 2019. You can also watch it on the CIIS Public Programs YouTube channel. A transcript is available at ciispod.com.

What does the Bible say about the sun? What is the purpose of the sun? Why did God create it? How does the sun remind us of God's invisible attributes? How could there have been life on earth before the sun? How can we best understand both what the Bible says and what science says about our sun? The sun was designed and created for God's glory; for signs and for seasons, for days and years, to govern the day, and to give light on the earth. Come and see with Wayne and Dan what the Bible and the Parker Solar Probe can tell us not only about the sun, but about what God is like.   Audio clips used in this episode: Grackles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLteSIxC1hs Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OwP2MONfcE Dr. Carl Sagan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLPkpBN6bEI Dr. Nour Rawafi Ted Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hktbamn2jX4 Podbean enables our podcast to be on Apple Podcasts and other major podcast platforms.  To support Good Heavens! on Podbean as a patron, you can use the Podbean app, or go to https://patron.podbean.com/goodheavens.  This goes to Wayne Spencer. If you would like to give to the ministry of Watchman Fellowship or to Daniel Ray, you can donate at https://www.watchman.org/daniel.

Patrick discusses Steven Greer's comments about Carl Sagan being an asset for the US Intelligence Community.

THIS EPISODE: In 1990, NASA's Voyager 1 turned its camera back toward Earth and captured a haunting image—our entire planet reduced to a single, tiny "pale blue dot" in the vastness of space. But what does this humbling perspective mean for us?In this episode of All Things Unexplained, Dr. Mounce explores the mystery and meaning behind Carl Sagan's famous words, uncovering:

Hunter and I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with author, translator, journalist, and deep researcher Robert Temple about his latest book "A New Science of Heaven", plasma, hypnosis, getting on the CIA's radar, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, the Kordylewski Clouds, the cold sun, the electric universe, ball lightning, plasma dust, sentient electricity, plasma drones, physical bodies as smart overcoats, reincarnation, information space, dream walkers, the Pit, the Grey Regions, and, believe it or not, much more.   Robert's website: https://www.robert-temple.com/ Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/   To get access to exclusive episodes, our backlog of extended episodes, and to our MELT Meet-ups consider supporting us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/themeltpodcast or Locals at https://themeltpodcast.locals.com where you can subscribe for a mere $5 per month.    Find The Melt on… Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-2365404 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMeltPodcast Check out our merch at: https://the-melt.creator-spring.com/   Music by The Godawful Joy: https://thegodawfuljoy.bandcamp.com/releases and Matt Presti: https://www.mattpresti.com/music.html

In this episode, we sit down with historian, Dr. Rebecca Charbonneau to explore her fascinating new book, Mixed Signals. At the height of the Cold War, amidst nuclear brinkmanship and deep political divides, an unlikely collaboration emerged between the United States and the Soviet Union in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Rebecca dives into the extraordinary partnership between Ukrainian astrophysicist Iosif Shklovsky and American astronomer Carl Sagan, whose groundbreaking work in radio astronomy brought the hunt for alien signals into the scientific mainstream. From bizarre experiments—like sending the sound of ballerinas' movements into space—to navigating the political tightrope of Cold War diplomacy, this story is as thrilling as it is thought-provoking. Join us as Rebecca unpacks how the search for alien life not only opened up new frontiers in science but also fostered a unique philosophy of international collaboration, proving that even amidst earthly tensions, humanity could unite in its curiosity about the cosmos.PODCAST UFO T-SHIRTSSHOW NOTESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

What I mean by the statement, All dogs go to heaven, is really a question I have been asked numerous times by both young and old: Will my pet go to heaven when it dies? I want to do my best to answer that question, but I want you to know that my answer will also address a much broader question related to what Gods ultimate plan is for his creation. We know what His plan is for humanity, but do you know if Gods plan of redemption includes animals? Let me begin by stating some things that could not be any clearer from the Bible and then we will dive into Psalm 8. So, here is what I know beyond a shadow of a doubt: The Bible assures us that God is the giver of every good thing (James 1:17); what this means is that God is not the taker of every good thing. When Nathan was five years old, we got him a kitten because we believed that he would enjoy having a cat. You have given gifts to your children out of your love for them as well. Here is what Jesus said about what we do for our children: If you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him (Matt. 7:1011)! God is so good that there is no room for improvement for Him to be better. I already mentioned James 1:17 but listen to what the verse actually states: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. In Psalm 106, we are told to give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy is everlasting (v. 1). According to Psalm 145, God is righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His works (v. 17). Because there is no room for improvement, God is not trying to get it right in the way He exercises His goodness. However, we live in a reality where the curse of sin is inseparable from our human experience and sorrow and sighing are like the compounds that come out of the curse that suck the joy out of life. You may even feel like Bruce from the movie Bruce Almighty in the way he described God: God is a mean kid sitting on an anthill with a magnifying glass, and I'm the ant. He could fix my life in five minutes if He wanted to, but he'd rather tear off my feelers and watch me squirm. So, lets walk through Psalm 8 together with the hope that there is enough in these verses to help us gain a fuller appreciation of what God is doing with this sin-cursed world. A Good God Created a Grand Creation I love the way the Bible begins: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters (Gen. 1:12). The earth was a formless and desolate emptiness until God spoke. He did not speak out of any need, for He was perfectly content within the fellowship of Himself in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God was not lonely or bored, nor was He obligated to speak and create. No, God created because He wanted to, and He wanted to create because He was motivated by love. Out of love, God desired to share that which nothing else could top or compare, which was Himself. God was motivated by love to share Himself with us. Our solar system is estimated to be about 12 trillion miles wide. The diameter of our sun is estimated to be 109 times the size of our earth, and if you were to drive from the Sun to Pluto, it would take an estimated 6,000 years to complete the trip. If that were not enough, you should know that our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains thousands of solar systems like ours. On our little planet, in our vast galaxy, lives just over 8 billion people. The renown astronomer, Carl Sagan, died believing that there was no compelling evidence for the existence of a Judeo-Christian-Islamic God, and said of our earth and the universe: If we are alone in the Universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space. David, in Psalm 8, answers Carl Sagans question, and if only Sagan could have opened his eyes to see what David saw: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! If you are wondering if the universe is too big if life on earth is all there is, the answer is a resounding NO! The universe is the size that it is because it is testifying to the majesty and splendor of the One who spoke all of it into existence. The God who spoke all things into existence out of the overflow of His love and goodness is not only knowable but created us with purpose! A Grand God Created Mankind in His Image with Purpose There is only one creature of all the creatures created that was created in the image of God, and that creature is all of humanity. On the sixth day, after God created the animal kingdom and everything else, He created Adam and Eve: Then God said, Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth (Gen. 1:26). To Adam and Eve, God gave them the responsibility to manage His creation as His image bearers. Humans were commissioned and commanded to care for creation and at the same time add to creation by filling the earth with humans like themselves. We are not a part of the animal kingdom; we stand above the animal kingdom as stewards of what Almighty God created! King David marveled over this magnificent reality in his psalm: When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place; what is man that You think of him, And a son of man that You are concerned about him (Ps. 8:34)? David does not stop there, for what he says in the following verses ought to be enough to answer what place your pet has in the universe: You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas (vv. 68). Adam and Eve were commanded to manage the Garden, to be fruitful and multiply, and not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. As you know, they ate the forbidden fruit from that one tree, and by eating the fruit they brought a curse upon Gods creation. As a result, all of creation was cursed as the Scriptures testify: Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned... (Rom. 5:12). There is only one creature who bears the image of God, and that creature is mankind. As image bearers of the living God, we were created to live forever. There is a part of us that lives on after death known as our soul which is also referred to as our spirit (not to be confused with the Holy Spirit).[1] Unlike the rest of creation, humans have a soul that only God is able to destroy. So, when it comes to death, our soul lives on even after our body dies, but death for the Christian is not the end as we are assured from the Bible: For we know that if our earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. For indeed, in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, since in fact after putting it on, we will not be found naked. For indeed, we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. (2 Cor. 5:14) So, when your pet dies, there is no immaterial part of them that lives on because they do not bare the image of God and therefore do not have a soul. What this means is that when your pet does eventually die, regardless of the behavior, there is no eternal punishment or eternal life waiting for them... they simply cease to exist. The only creature that is born and lives in active rebellion towards God are humans. Unlike the animal kingdom, sin is now a part of our nature. A Good and Gracious God Has Provided Redemption Through a Second and Perfect Adam Now, remember what I said at the beginning of my sermon: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights... (Jas. 1:17). God is a good God who is the giver of every good thing, not the taker of every good thing! After Adam and Eve sinned, they were promised a Descendant who would reverse the curse of sin. A second and more perfect Adam was promised who would come to reverse the curse of sin: For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:17). The second and more perfect Adam was also promised to David who wrote Psalm 8! God assured David, When your days are finished and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from you, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever (2 Sam. 7:1213). What will this second and more perfect Adam do? According to Jeremiah 23:5-6, He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land.... Oh, and the Name by which the Son of David will also be called will be, The Lord Our Righteousness. In Isaiah we are promised that when He reigns as King, He will judge between the nations, and will mediate for many peoples; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives. Nation will not lift up a sword against nation, and never again will they learn war (Isa. 2:4). The second Adam would, be born of a virgin as fully human and fully diving: ...a Son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. When the second Adam comes to reign as King, His reign will bring the kind of peace only God is capable of restoring: ...the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and fattened steer will be together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.... They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Isa. 11:6-7, 9) When it was announced by the angels to the shepherds that the promised King was born, it was declared to them: Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11). Jesus, as the second and better Adam, humbled Himself by, taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men.... He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross (Phil. 2:7-8). He was born to live the perfect life we could not live to die the death we all deserved. There is only One who is qualified to reverse the curse of sin, and it was and is Jesus! In Revelation 21:5, we are told that through His death and triumphant victory over death, that He is making all things new! This is what we all want and what all of creation is longing for! We long for a day without the dark cloud of the curse of sin. This is why Paul wrote, For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. (Rom. 8:18-21) When Jesus entered into Jerusalem the week before He was to be crucified for the sins of mankind, the children in the temple area shouted something that irritated the chief priests and scribes. As Jesus entered into Jerusalem, the children shouted: Hosanna to the Son of David! (see Matt. 21:15-16). The chief priests and scribes said to Jesus, Do you hear what these children are saying? What were the children saying? They were celebrating the promised second Adam, the righteous Branch of David, and the One who is to be called The Lord our Righteousness (see Jer. 23:5-6). Guess how Jesus answered the irritated religious leaders who were concerned about what the children were saying? He answered them by quoting Psalm 8:2, here is what He said: Yes. Have you never read [chief priests and scribes], From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself? Do you realize what Jesus said to the chief priests and scribes? He was essentially saying that although Adam made a mess of creation through his sin in the Garden, there was a Son of Man who was made a little lower than the angels and God when He willingly took on human flesh to become fully human while remaining fully God at the same time! Jesus did this for the purpose of redeeming mankind through His cross for our sins, and by doing so, made redemption possible for all creation, and this is the point of Psalm 5, Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! Do you hear Philippians 2 in Psalm 8? And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:8-11) Now, against the backdrop of Philippians 2:8-11, listen what Psalm 8:7-8 promises: You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. All of creation, including your pets, are eagerly awaiting for the completion of our redemption because when it happens to us, creation will enjoy the good and faithful reign of the second Adam over them as well, and when He comes to do that, He will make all things new and it is what He will restore that all of creation is longing for: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. And He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. And He said, Write, for these words are faithful and true. On the Day Revelation 21 becomes our reality, all that was lost, will be restored and it will be even better than the Eden the first Adam lost! I am not sure if that means He will restore and make new your pet that was lost to the curse, but I do know that it will be better! The glory we will be crowned with will be the glory of King Jesus when, There will no longer be any curse... (Rev. 22:3). We will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away (Isa. 51:11)! The great hope of our future is not who is in office as our president, but the King who is coming to restore all that was lost through the first Adam. Christian, because you belong to the second Adam, you can declare with David: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! [1] Soul and spirit are used synonymously in the Bible (e.g. Acts 7:54-60; Matt. 10:28).

What I mean by the statement, All dogs go to heaven, is really a question I have been asked numerous times by both young and old: Will my pet go to heaven when it dies? I want to do my best to answer that question, but I want you to know that my answer will also address a much broader question related to what Gods ultimate plan is for his creation.

When the second Adam comes to reign as King, His reign will bring the kind of peace only God is capable of restoring: ...the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and fattened steer will be together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.... They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Isa. 11:6-7, 9) When it was announced by the angels to the shepherds that the promised King was born, it was declared to them: Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11). Jesus, as the second and better Adam, humbled Himself by, taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men.... He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross (Phil. 2:7-8). He was born to live the perfect life we could not live to die the death we all deserved. There is only One who is qualified to reverse the curse of sin, and it was and is Jesus! In Revelation 21:5, we are told that through His death and triumphant victory over death, that He is making all things new! This is what we all want and what all of creation is longing for! We long for a day without the dark cloud of the curse of sin. This is why Paul wrote, For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. (Rom. 8:18-21) When Jesus entered into Jerusalem the week before He was to be crucified for the sins of mankind, the children in the temple area shouted something that irritated the chief priests and scribes. As Jesus entered into Jerusalem, the children shouted: Hosanna to the Son of David! (see Matt. 21:15-16). The chief priests and scribes said to Jesus, Do you hear what these children are saying? What were the children saying? They were celebrating the promised second Adam, the righteous Branch of David, and the One who is to be called The Lord our Righteousness (see Jer. 23:5-6). Guess how Jesus answered the irritated religious leaders who were concerned about what the children were saying? He answered them by quoting Psalm 8:2, here is what He said: Yes. Have you never read [chief priests and scribes], From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself? Do you realize what Jesus said to the chief priests and scribes? He was essentially saying that although Adam made a mess of creation through his sin in the Garden, there was a Son of Man who was made a little lower than the angels and God when He willingly took on human flesh to become fully human while remaining fully God at the same time! Jesus did this for the purpose of redeeming mankind through His cross for our sins, and by doing so, made redemption possible for all creation, and this is the point of Psalm 5, Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! Do you hear Philippians 2 in Psalm 8? And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:8-11) Now, against the backdrop of Philippians 2:8-11, listen what Psalm 8:7-8 promises: You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. All of creation, including your pets, are eagerly awaiting for the completion of our redemption because when it happens to us, creation will enjoy the good and faithful reign of the second Adam over them as well, and when He comes to do that, He will make all things new and it is what He will restore that all of creation is longing for: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. And He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. And He said, Write, for these words are faithful and true. On the Day Revelation 21 becomes our reality, all that was lost, will be restored and it will be even better than the Eden the first Adam lost! I am not sure if that means He will restore and make new your pet that was lost to the curse, but I do know that it will be better! The glory we will be crowned with will be the glory of King Jesus when, There will no longer be any curse... (Rev. 22:3). We will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away (Isa. 51:11)! The great hope of our future is not who is in office as our president, but the King who is coming to restore all that was lost through the first Adam. Christian, because you belong to the second Adam, you can declare with David: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! [1] Soul and spirit are used synonymously in the Bible (e.g. Acts 7:54-60; Matt. 10:28).

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy, folks! When it comes to the soul and modern science, a question often overlooked is: how could something help ensure our genetic survival after death? Well, we've got some considerations for you! It's been almost long enough since the last episode to count as another mini-hiatus unfortunately, but hey cut me some slack. With the start of January, I had a weeklong trip in Georgia to see family and ended up nearly dying in the Emergency Room from a septic colon-response that emerged from norovirus. I'm all good now! But it mostly ruined the trip and gave me a solid week and a half of recovery before I could even get back into the swing of the basics. Not the best start to the New Year, but I'm thankful to be alive and running strong as ever! That in mind, we're diving into all things to do with death this episode, and I'm joined by my longtime friend and collaborator Justin Otto -- host of Dharma Junkie Podcast and facilitator at Gulf Coast Dharma. Justin has been heavily steeped in Buddhist practice and study for years now, and while he prefers to call himself a 'Dharma Practitioner' instead of the pigeon-holed spiritual label, he is one of the best people to have around for a conversation like this. With his help, I go through the seminal peer-reviewed scientific study done on reincarnation and natural selection, published in 2000, and titled: The Structure And Function Of Near-Death Experiences: An Algorithmic Reincarnation Hypothesis based on Natural Selection.  This study gets DEEP talking about modern Near-Death Experiences, ancient and modern accounts of Out-of-Body Experiences, chaos theory, anthropology, physics and the nature of algorithms -- and even more! We also take the time to talk about Canadian psychiatrist Dr. Ian Stevenson and his dedication in the last half of his esteemed career to the diligent scientific investigation of reincarnation. Conducted out of the University of Virginia and continued in ways to this day, Stevenson absolutely pioneered the topic of reincarnation as a serious shadow of doubt even for the scientific materialist. Truly, even minds like Carl Sagan were fascinated with what Stevenson was doing and his work still leaves a tremendous amount for us all to digest today! We hope you dig the chat, stay safe out there, and remember to enjoy the small things in life! See you in a couple weeks.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Contact, the 1997 science-fiction drama directed by Robert Zemeckis. Based on the book by Carl Sagan, Contact stars Jodie Foster as Dr. Ellie Arroway, a SETI scientist who discovers extraterrestrial life and is eventually chosen to make first contact with the alien life. Foster is joined by a stacked cast of character actors, including Matthew McConaughey, James Woods, Tom Skerritt, William Fichtner, John Hunt, Rob Lowe and Angela Bassett. In their conversation, Jamelle and John discuss the distinctly neoliberal politics of the film as well as the extent to which Contact is a prominent example of the “end of history” utopianism that marked political and cultural life as the 1990s came to a close.You can find Contact to rent or purchase on Amazon or Apple TV.For the next episode of the podcast, Jamelle and John will watch Air Force One, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Harrison Ford as the president who punches. And don't forget the Patreon, where they watch the political and military thrillers of the Cold War and talk about the politics of those decades! On the most recent episode of the Patreon, Jamelle and John watched the 1970 political drama WUSA.

A deep investigation of mysterious geometric structures on the surface of Mars• Explores a wide variety of anomalous structures on Mars's surface that display a high degree of geometric and pictographic design• Examines sites such as the Elysium pyramid famously described by Carl Sagan and city complexes in the Nepenthes Mensae and Atlantis Chaos regions• Argues that Mayan creation stories of a Star War and Sumerian myths of the Anunnaki provide ancient evidence for the existence of a Martian cultureExploring evidence of a lost Martian civilization and its contact with Earth, investigator George Haas examines a wide variety of anomalous structures and geoglyphs on Mars's surface that display a high degree of geometric and symbolic design that reveal an ancient bond between Earth and Mars. He takes a closer look at Carl Sagan's famous pyramid of Elysium, including high-resolution images released after Sagan's death. Investigating a pair of city complexes in the Nepenthes Mensae region of the Red Planet, Haas shows how the settlements include geometric formations of a five-sided star and a hexagonal pyramid, along with geoglyphic formations representing a dove, a killer whale, and a bat.Examining the Libya Montes region, he reveals a keyhole-shaped formation identical in design to ancient tombs built in Japan. In the Atlantis Chaos region, he investigates the remains of an ancient city nestled along a dead lake, an urban-like array of gridded broken walls and shattered foundations. He then explores a detailed parrot-shaped geoglyph in the large-impact crater known as Argyre Basin that four veterinarians found to possess 22 points of anatomical correctness with terrestrial parrots.George J. Haas is the founder and premier investigator of the Mars research group known as The Cydonia Institute. A member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research, he has coauthored two books and six peer-reviewed science papers related to anomalous formations on the surface of Mars. He has appeared on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens, The Proof is Out There, and The UnXplained with William Shatner. He lives in Waterford, Virginia.https://thecydoniainstitute.com/Providing an ancient Mesoamerican connection to the civilizations of Mars, Haas looks at a lesser-known Mayan creation story about a Star-War that occurred 800,000 years ago. He reveals parallels between this story and ancient Sumerian stories of the Anunnaki occupation of Earth and Mars as documented by Zecharia Sitchin. Haas also shows how there is a direct correlation between the ruins on Mars and the art and architecture of Mesoamerican cultures, providing clear evidence of a long-disappeared Martian civilization that we are only now rediscovering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

As we enter what promises to be an era of American-style Christo-fascism, it's hard for secular people -- people of reason, of science, who believe that faith is earned by evidence -- to not be cynical of those whose deeply held yet unproveable (indeed, improbable) beliefs will soon be determining our laws and dictating our behaviors.Yet, without hope there is only despair. So as we turn the page on 2024, a year of frustration followed by cautious optimism followed by grief for some/surrender for others, we at Unreasonable are like moths seeking the light. Our flame? Sasha Sagan. Sasha is a television producer, filmmaker, writer, and speaker on the ways science can inform our celebrations and how we mark the passage of time, inspired in part by the work of her parents, Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.Her podcast “Strange Customs” explores why we practice the rites of our ancestors, act them out, teach them to the next generation, often without questioning them. "When we take a step back, however, what can seem bizarre, arbitrary…can also be, sometimes, profoundly beautiful.”Our holiday gift to you: a ray of reason-based sunshine for these gloomy times. Support the show

In this episode, Megan and Frank examine astrology. What is astrology, and why do people practice it? What are the strongest objections to astrology? Should astrology count as a science? If not, why not? What can the case of astrology teach us about the role of science in a democratic society? And why does the ancient practice of reading the stars prompt us to ponder the deepest aspects of human experience? Thinkers discussed include: Aristotle, Cicero, Ptolemy, Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn, Imre Lakatos, Paul Feyerabend, Carl Sagan, Ian James Kidd, and Massimo Pigliucci.-----------------------Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

Whether or not religion is a part of your holiday season, there's great meaning to be gleaned from the secular traditions surrounding the winter solstice. Author and podcaster Sasha Sagan (daughter of the late science communicator Carl Sagan), shares her thoughts on having holiday spirit without a spiritual ideology. Pulitzer-winning composer David Lang also joins to discuss his hymn-inspired choral piece "poor hymnal," which has its New York premiere at Lincoln Center on Saturday.*This segment is guest-hosted by Kate Hinds

Chapter 1:Summary of The Demon-Haunted World"The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan is a compelling exploration of science, skepticism, and the importance of critical thinking in contemporary society. Published in 1995, the book emphasizes the distinction between scientific reasoning and superstition, arguing that a rational understanding of the universe can dispel the metaphorical demons of ignorance, fear, and superstition.Sagan discusses the rise of pseudoscience, superstition, and conspiracy theories, highlighting how these beliefs can proliferate in the absence of scientific literacy. He underscores the importance of skepticism, encouraging readers to question claims and seek evidence rather than accept ideas blindly. Through a variety of examples—ranging from UFOs and alien abductions to witch hunts and pseudoscientific practices—Sagan illustrates the dangers that arise when society abandons critical inquiry.The book also celebrates the beauty and wonder of science, asserting that it not only explains the natural world but also enriches our lives by fostering curiosity and a sense of awe. Sagan advocates for scientific education, proposing that a well-informed populace is better equipped to navigate the complexities of modern life.Ultimately, "The Demon-Haunted World" serves as a call to embrace science and rationality, positioning them as tools for enlightenment in an era where misinformation can easily take root. Sagan's passionate defense of the scientific method and his articulate prose make this work a powerful manifesto for skepticism and reason.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Demon-Haunted World"The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan is a non-fiction work that emphasizes the importance of scientific literacy and critical thinking in a world filled with superstition and pseudoscience. Here are key plot points, character development themes, and ideas explored in the book: Key Points1. Skepticism and Critical Thinking: Sagan argues for the necessity of skepticism when facing claims about the supernatural or pseudoscientific phenomena. He encourages readers to employ critical thinking skills, using the scientific method as a means to distinguish between credible information and unfounded beliefs.2. Science vs. Superstition: The title itself reflects a dichotomy where the "demon" represents ignorance and superstition, while the "candle" symbolizes the enlightenment brought about by scientific understanding. Sagan discusses various historical and contemporary examples of how superstition can lead to harmful consequences.3. The Role of Science in Society: Sagan emphasizes the importance of a scientifically literate society, advocating for education that fosters curiosity and analytical thinking. He discusses how science can improve our understanding of the world and solve pressing societal issues.4. Pseudoscience and Misconceptions: Throughout the book, Sagan critically analyzes various pseudoscientific claims, such as UFOs, astrology, and paranormal phenomena. He illustrates how such beliefs can gain traction and the implications this has for society at large.5. The Wonder of Science: Despite the critical stance on superstition, Sagan also passionately articulates the beauty and wonder found in scientific inquiry, arguing that science does not diminish the sense of awe; rather, it enhances it by providing deeper understanding.6. The Importance of Educated Public Discourse: Sagan warns against complacency and the dangers of an uninformed populace. He argues that a well-informed public is essential for democracy, especially in making decisions about technology and public policy that rely heavily on scientific knowledge.

What does it take to create something the world has never seen before? In this final episode of Artful Intelligence, Reid Hoffman and Chris McLeod explore what it takes to spark a creative revolution with filmmaker Paul Trillo. Using OpenAI's groundbreaking AI video generator, Sora, Paul directed the world's first fully AI-generated music video.  After gaining early access to Sora, Paul faced a massive creative challenge: How could he use an AI tool known for surreal, dream-like visuals to craft a music video that felt emotionally real? The answer came from embracing AI's quirks—its strange hallucinations, its unpredictable transformations—and writing prompts like poetic scripts to guide the machine's creative output. Join us as Paul reveals how he turned an experimental AI model into an award-winning music video—and how creators everywhere can harness emerging tech to redefine what's possible in art.

"That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be." This is a line by fantasy author PC Hodgell, though it's often misattributed to Carl Sagan. I think about this quote a lot. I think about it when reflecting on the way Israel is exterminating Palestinian journalists in Gaza while keeping western journalists out of the enclave to prevent the world from learning the truth about what the IDF is doing there. Reading by Tim Foley.

In this whimsical talk and performance, musician and comedian Elle Cordova ponders what happened before the Big Bang. She's then joined by guitarist Toni Lindgren for the original song “Carl Sagan,” exploring social media, human connection and how we're all just reaching out like stars in the night sky.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the tantalising idea that there are shortcuts between distant galaxies, somewhere out there in the universe. The idea emerged in the context of Einstein's theories and the challenge has been not so much to prove their unlikely existence as to show why they ought to be impossible. The universe would have to folded back on itself in places, and there would have to be something to make the wormholes and then to keep them open. But is there anywhere in the vast universe like that? Could there be holes that we or more advanced civilisations might travel through, from one galaxy to another and, if not, why not?
