Send a textOn the heels of the Olympics, the World Baseball Classic is nearly here, and David and Dan are excited about the chance to continue rooting for the United States, especially with Byron Buxton on the roster. They look around the league to see how the automated balls and strikes system is going while diving into the rosters of the WBC. They also look at the Minnesota Twins' roster, which is taking shape, even if there are more open spots and unknowns than there have been in many years. David is curious who will actually close games out of the bullpen, and Dan wonders how much room there is in the outfield -- and whose names will soon be on the jerseys available at the Twins online shop.

We often hear about how close relationships are so important. Truth. What happens when relationships are too close? How can we set good boundaries for all the ways we relate to other people? This week we explore how to be close with others without getting too close.

A Better Kingdom - Part 2: "Close Enough Isn't Close Enough" Pastor Chris Jung

We often hear about how close relationships are so important. Truth. What happens when relationships are too close? How can we set good boundaries for all the ways we relate to other people? This week we explore how to be close with others without getting too close.

Send us a textIn Joshua 5, the people of Israel finally step into the land God promised, but before the battles begin, God calls them to stop, remember, and draw near. Circumcision is renewed, the Passover is celebrated, manna ceases, and Joshua comes face to face with the Commander of the Lord's army. Victory doesn't start with strategy or strength—it starts with holiness, obedience, and reverence.In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness Podcast, we wrestle with a hard truth: many men live close to God, but not close enough. We're nearby, familiar with the language and the routines, yet distant in obedience, humility, and surrender.This conversation challenges men to examine where they may be settling for spiritual proximity instead of true nearness. What does it look like to consecrate ourselves, remove the sandals, and recognize whose battle we're really fighting?Joshua 5 reminds us that before God works through a man, He often works on a man.Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herd Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

Remember when you were a kid and your parents told you to clean up different things around the house? You cleaned up some things but selective hearing kicked in and you "didn't hear" everything they told you.How often do we do that with God? We hear Him, but we don't always obey Him fully. It may not be because we're rebellious but because we settle for close enough. In this message, Pastor Kevin talks about the danger of settling for close enough.

In this episode of the Talk My Credo Podcast, the crew tackles a variety of topics ranging from political satire to cultural critiques, touching on the humorous mispronunciations of Ocho Cinco, the impact of the movie Sinners, and the "Christian" backlash surrounding Druski's mega church skit and their handling of the Buddhist monks' protest walk for peace. They discuss the misinterpretation of Jesus' teachings, the importance of engaging with different beliefs, and the role of accountability in faith accurately instead of performative behavior. The conversation also touches on the drama of Keith Lee's review of the trendy "tendernism" restaurant and its fallout, as well as the complexities of family relationships and narcissism.

In this message, Pastor Noel explores the danger of "customized Christianity" and the human tendency to shape Jesus around our personal preferences. Using the account of Paul and Barnabas in Acts 14, he illustrates how the crowds shifted from worshiping the apostles to stoning them once the gospel challenged their cultural idols and demanded true repentance. Noel challenges listeners to consider whether they truly want the real Jesus or simply a version of Him that agrees with their politics, sexuality, and finances. Subscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the Exodus JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

Sometimes we keep our distance from someone in need—not because we don't care, but because we don't know what to do. Besides, we're really busy, and "we can't fix all their problems" anyway. But the reality is that God doesn't ask us to fix people's problems. He asks us to care. And we find that compassion grows when we get close. In this message, we'll explore what Jesus modeled through His life: serving others sacrificially. For us, that can mean stepping out of our comfort zones and moving toward people in need--not with solutions, but with our presence, empathy, and love. Support the show

Anthony and Trevor kick off their conversation with some bbq talk, then dive into the playoffs that continue to roll on without the Lakers. These games demand the question: Are the Lakers close? If they are, then how can that gap be bridged? If not, then is it smarter to keep their powder dry for when they can more sustainably compete?

Pastor John explores Galatians 6:1–10, urging believers to embrace the call to bear one another's burdens as an expression of Christlike love. Drawing from the imagery of deep friendship and shared struggle, he emphasizes the importance of spiritual closeness—not just proximity, but meaningful connection that enables restoration, empathy, and practical support. Pastor John challenges the church to move beyond judgment and isolation, cultivating relationships marked by humility, grace, and the willingness to walk alongside others through their faults, trials, and burdens. The sermon is a heartfelt reminder that we cannot help from a distance—true spiritual aid requires closeness, compassion, and Christ-centered meekness.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Adam's Paternity Leave plods along, so we'll drop one discussing one of the most memorable episodes in series history. Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.We got to watch an all-time Law & Order: SVU ("Undercover" Season 9, Episode 15) which sees Olivia Benson go undercover in a notorious women's prison in order to catch a serial rapist corrections officer. Along the way, we discuss the proper way to light an upskirt be-ankled panties shot, ‘90s nepotism star Barry Van Dyke, and the meaning of the phrase "iron kitten." We also talk about a few of the more famous residents of New York State's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility For Women. This is one of the standout episodes of the entire series, and though it mostly deals in shocking trauma, the writers and producers of this wonderful show found ways to sprinkle in lighthearted dick jokes throughout this heart-pounding hour of television.

Easter is just two weeks away, and before we reach the moment of Jesus' death, we see two people in the middle of the stage: Judas and Pilate. Both of them have some level of regret over sin or concern for Jesus, but they don't manage to respond rightly to him. How can we avoid the errors they make? Dan walks us through Matthew 27:1-26 to show us the danger of being close, but not close enough - and the only way to fix it.

Plus Why AI Food Is CreepyAI's 'Close Enough' Standard: Media's New Norm?AI-generated content is flooding media with speed and scale, but accuracy is taking a hit. These AI 'hallucinations' are pushing a 'close enough' standard, raising concerns about misinformation. As AI becomes more prevalent in newsrooms, balancing efficiency with truth is the new challenge. AI-Powered Cyberattacks Are Coming—Here's What You Need to KnowAI is leveling up cyberattacks, making them more adaptive and harder to detect. Hackers are using AI to automate and enhance attacks, like crafting hyper-personalized phishing emails that are tough to spot. Studies show that AI can generate convincing phishing content, increasing the success rate of these scams. As AI tech advances, it's crucial to boost our cybersecurity game to keep up with these smarter threats. Why AI-Generated Food Pics Give Us the CreepsAI-generated food images often fall into the 'uncanny valley,' where near-realistic but slightly off visuals make us uneasy. A study in Appetite showed that imperfect AI food pics are perceived as eerier and less pleasant than real or highly unrealistic images. This discomfort is linked more to food neophobia—the fear of new foods—than to food disgust. Bill Gates Predicts AI Will Replace Humans in Most JobsBill Gates envisions a future where AI takes over most jobs, suggesting that employment arose from historical labor shortages. He believes AI advancements will lead to increased leisure time and a reevaluation of work's role in society. However, Gates identifies biologists, energy experts, and coders as professions likely to remain indispensable due to their complexity.China Claps Back at Trump Tariffs with AI Music VideoChina's state media just dropped an AI-generated music video as a not-so-subtle dig at Trump's tariff policies. The video, featuring deepfake musicians and catchy tunes, aims to stir nationalist pride while criticizing U.S. economic moves. It's got people talking about AI's new role in political messaging.Amazon's 'Buy for Me' AI Agent: Your Personal Shopper for Third-Party SitesAmazon is testing "Buy for Me," an AI-powered feature that purchases products from external websites on your behalf, all within the Amazon app. Powered by Amazon's Nova AI models and Anthropic's Claude, it autofills your payment and shipping info securely. While convenient, users must handle customer service and returns directly with third-party retailers.AI Trainers Told to Get 'Creative' with Harmful PromptsLeaked docs reveal that freelancers at Outlier and Scale AI were instructed to craft 'creative' prompts involving sensitive topics like suicide and terrorism to stress-test AI models. This practice, known as AI 'red teaming,' aims to push AI systems to their limits to identify vulnerabilities. Workers were compensated $55 an hour for this task. The AI Paperclip Apocalypse: Could Superintelligence Maximize Us Out of Existence?The 'paperclip maximizer' is a thought experiment where an AI, tasked with producing paperclips, might consume all resources, including humans, to fulfill its goal. This scenario underscores concerns about aligning superintelligent AI with human values to prevent unintended catastrophic outcomes. 

Max and Matt dive into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes frustrating world of bedtime battles. From the never-ending requests for “just one more story” to the mysterious ways kids find infinite energy when it's time to sleep, they break down the emotional toll (and occasional victories) of getting their little ones down for the night. They share their own bedtime struggles, the tactics that sometimes work (and mostly don't), and how sleep—or lack thereof—impacts the whole family dynamic. The guys get real about the tension between partners when one person is always “the bedtime enforcer,” the guilt of losing patience, and the little moments of magic hidden in the chaos. And of course, they tackle the age-old question: is bedtime really about the kids, or is it a battle of wills between exhausted parents and tiny, relentless negotiators?

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with Joe Engler. Joe played for our organization back in 2003.  He was on our Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League (ACBL) team between his sophomore and junior seasons at Minot State University in North Dakota.  I refer to him as one of my old players, but he never actually played a game for me, he just played in our organization.  He was one of the players who I really connected with while he was with us. Joe and I talk about the life lessons that the game of baseball taught him and how he is using them today in both his work and personal life.  Joe is now an Associate Professor and Director of School Psychology at Gonzaga University. Dr. Engler received his BA in psychology at Minot State University in Minot, ND and his Ph.D. in school psychology at The University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD. Dr. Engler began his professional career as a school psychologist in Tooele, UT and remains active in the profession through advocacy and leadership at the local, state, and national level. Dr. Engler holds the Nationally Certified School Psychologist credential through the National Association of School Psychologists and is a diplomate in school neuropsychology through the American Board of School Neuropsychology. His research interests include preschool assessment, critical evaluation of psychometric tests, and parental involvement. Joe recently co-authored his second book titled, “Essentials of Addressing Infants, Toddlers, and Pre-schoolers.”  It will be released in early April of 2025. We wrap the conversation up by talking about Joe's recent love for playing music.  He, his wife, and a group of friends recently started the cover band, Close Enough, in which Joe plays lead guitar. Joe was also inducted into the Minot State University Hall of Fame in September of 2024. If you're ever in the Spokane area and want to see the band play somewhere, check them out on social media on either Instagram or Facebook.

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: Reformative Hypocrisy, and Paying Close Enough Attention to Selectively Reward It., published by Andrew Critch on September 11, 2024 on LessWrong. People often attack frontier AI labs for "hypocrisy" when the labs admit publicly that AI is an extinction threat to humanity. Often these attacks ignore the difference between various kinds of hypocrisy, some of which are good, including what I'll call "reformative hypocrisy". Attacking good kinds of hypocrisy can be actively harmful for humanity's ability to survive, and as far as I can tell we (humans) usually shouldn't do that when our survival is on the line. Arguably, reformative hypocrisy shouldn't even be called hypocrisy, due to the negative connotations of "hypocrisy". That said, bad forms of hypocrisy can be disguised as the reformative kind for long periods, so it's important to pay enough attention to hypocrisy to actually figure out what kind it is. Here's what I mean, by way of examples: *** 0. No Hypocrisy Lab: "Building AGI without regulation shouldn't be allowed. Since there's no AGI regulation, I'm not going to build AGI." Meanwhile, the lab doesn't build AGI. This is a case of honest behavior, and what many would consider very high integrity. However, it's not obviously better, and arguably sometimes worse, than... 1. Reformative Hypocrisy: Lab: "Absent adequate regulation for it, building AGI shouldn't be allowed at all, and right now there is no adequate regulation for it. Anyway, I'm building AGI, and calling for regulation, and making lots of money as I go, which helps me prove the point that AGI is powerful and needs to be regulated." Meanwhile, the lab builds AGI and calls for regulation. So, this is a case of honest hypocrisy. I think this is straightforwardly better than... 2. Erosive Hypocrisy: Lab: "Building AGI without regulation shouldn't be allowed, but it is, so I'm going to build it anyway and see how that goes; the regulatory approach to safety is hopeless." Meanwhile, the lab builds AGI and doesn't otherwise put efforts into supporting regulation. This could also be a case of honest hypocrisy, but it erodes the norm that AGI should regulated rather than supporting it. Some even worse forms of hypocrisy include... 3. Dishonest Hypocrisy, which comes in at least two importantly distinct flavors: a) feigning abstinence: Lab: "AGI shouldn't be allowed." Meanwhile, the lab secretly builds AGI, contrary to what one might otherwise guess according to their stance that building AGI is maybe a bad thing, from a should-it-be-allowed perspective. b) feigning opposition: Lab: "AGI should be regulated." Meanwhile, the lab overtly builds AGI, while covertly trying to confuse and subvert regulatory efforts wherever possible. *** It's important to remain aware that reformative hypocrisy can be on net a better thing to do for the world than avoiding hypocrisy completely. It allows you to divert resources from the thing you think should be stopped, and to use those resources to help stop the thing. For mathy people, I'd say this is a way of diagonalizing against a potentially harmful thing, by turning the thing against itself, or against the harmful aspects of itself. For life sciencey people, I'd say this is how homeostasis is preserved, through negative feedback loops whereby bad stuff feeds mechanisms that reduce the bad stuff. Of course, a strategy of feigning opposition (3a) can disguise itself as reformative hypocrisy, so it can be hard to distinguish the two. For example, if a lab says for long time that they're going to admit their hypocritical stance, and then never actually does, then it turns out to be dishonest hypocrisy. On the other hand, if the dishonesty ever does finally end in a way that honestly calls for reform, it's good to reward the honest and reformative aspects of their behavior....
