Sam Arbesman, complexity scientist, author of "The Magic of Code," and scientist in residence at Lux Capital, joins me for a wide-ranging exploration of how we navigate an increasingly complex world that often exceeds human comprehension. We dive into the oral traditions that preserve crucial scientific knowledge, why cognitive diversity trumps demographic diversity, the forgotten innovations hiding in technological history, and Sam's vision for "Maxis 2.0". This conversation had everything—from science fiction's cultural impact to the philosophy of intellectual humility. Sam and I discovered we're remarkably simpatico on how to think about complex systems, the importance of historical context, and why saying "I don't know" is the foundation of genuine learning. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

The Father's grace provides us with complete forgiveness, thorough righteousness, and incomparable riches. The same God of grace has a purposeful plan for each of our lives. His plans may not move at the speed of light; nevertheless, they are in motion. However, there are times when His plans do move at the speed of light. Just ask the woman who had the issue of blood. She had spent twelve years attempting to find relief from anemia, fatigue, fragility, dizziness, and a weakened immune system. Like sand through an hourglass, so were the days of her life. But when she touched Jesus, the light of the world, faster than 186,282 miles per second, did God's creative abilities, infinite resources, and vast wisdom pour forth.  Was God applying the principles of triage to the multitude of sick people who thronged Jesus? No, He can work on everyone at the same time; His resources do not need rationing. However, Jesus was especially moved by the woman's faith; therefore, the grace that surpasses comprehension poured forth. Likewise, Ruth's grace manifested through her faith in Israel's God.

In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about learning styles and gives some tips for "learning better" and getting more out of continuing education opportunities. The first step to getting more out of educational opportunities is to know your learning style. There are three main styles: visual, kinesthetic (hands-on), and auditory. Most tradespeople will probably fall into the kinesthetic category, but not everybody is; you need to figure out if you're most comfortable working with your hands, listening to podcasts, watching videos, or reading. It's also a good idea to try the practical knowledge first and then study the theory. Most people can learn via all of these media, though, and preferences in learning styles aren't excuses not to seek knowledge via the other pathways. Some people also do better with different instructional styles. Instructors can be more or less structured and outgoing, and you may have a preference. Find instructors who explain concepts and conduct their classes or seminars in ways that you understand best. Teaching is also a great way to get a better understanding of a concept, as is incorporating hands-on opportunities and quizzes when you read, watch videos, or listen to podcasts. When you can teach and be taught in non-judgmental environments, you can get a lot more out of the learning experience. Comprehension comes before retention, so memorization is usually not going to be too helpful for HVAC education. Understanding should be the main focus, not memorizing facts or test answers, and that includes challenging your assumptions and finding hard problems to solve. You can also discover HVAC/R concepts in unexpected places, including scientific or lifestyle YouTube channels and podcasts.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Willem Pienaar and Shreya Shankar discuss the challenge of evaluating agents in production where "ground truth" is ambiguous and subjective user feedback isn't enough to improve performance.The discussion breaks down the three "gulfs" of human-AI interaction—Specification, Generalization, and Comprehension—and their impact on agent success.Willem and Shreya cover the necessity of moving the human "out of the loop" for feedback, creating faster learning cycles through implicit signals rather than direct, manual review.The conversation details practical evaluation techniques, including analyzing task failures with heat maps and the trade-offs of using simulated environments for testing.Willem and Shreya address the reality of a "performance ceiling" for AI and the importance of categorizing problems your agent can, can learn to, or will likely never be able to solve.// BioShreya ShankarPhD student in data management for machine learning.Willem PienaarWillem Pienaar, CTO of Cleric, is a builder with a focus on LLM agents, MLOps, and open source tooling.

Hope with God... with Andrew and Wendy Palau

Does God confuse you? You thought you had Him figured out, but then chaos or pain has walked through your door? And you realized that God is different than you imagined. Listen to the words from Isaiah 40, “Who has understood the mind of the Lord? Or instructed Him as a counselor?” God is an almighty God with sovereign power. We can't make a deal with God, yet we can have a relationship with Him. And when confusing pain enters our lives, we can't get offended at Him. But we can realize that because of Jesus, God is closer than the most intimate friend. And we understand that He is a comforter and present in our suffering. Always remember there is hope with God.

We discuss "On the Problem of Empathy," ch. 4 "Empathy as the Comprehension of Mental Persons," starting with section 2, "The Mental Subject" and into section 3, "The Constitution of the Person in Emotional Experiences." We're trying to figure out what these early 20th century German phenomenologists think a "person" is as someone we're able to empathize or sympathize with and which is morally worthy of respect. Stein does this by saying what the "I" (the self) is. It is the thing that "has" experiences, but also something that we understand in terms of a network of motivations, which are different than mere causes, in that they're supposed to be rational. Our self gains definition, Stein says, when we have emotional experiences, which can of course be shallow and undirected (mere moods) or can be very deep and self-revelatory.

Comprehension instruction is about more than just teaching individual strategies—it's about creating the right conditions for students to deeply understand what they read. In this episode, we're continuing our two-part series on comprehension by exploring exactly how to move beyond the strategy-of-the-week approach. If you haven't already listened to episode 244, be sure to go back and check it out first!Today, I'm sharing two simple but powerful shifts that can make a big impact on your students' reading comprehension. First, we'll explore the 3-2-1 framework—an easy way to build background knowledge, introduce key vocabulary, analyze sentence structure, and engage students in meaningful discussions about texts. Then, we'll dive into how to be more intentional with text selection so that students engage with content-rich, purposeful texts that expand their knowledge and strengthen their comprehension.If you've ever wondered how to make comprehension instruction more effective, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can start using right away.

If you've ever wondered why your students can master comprehension skills one week but struggle the next, you're not alone. Many upper elementary teachers follow a standards-based approach, teaching comprehension skills in isolation. But what if that's the very thing preventing students from building lasting comprehension? In today's episode, we're diving into the biggest mistake teachers make when teaching comprehension—and why shifting your approach can lead to better results.Too often, comprehension instruction in upper elementary classrooms is structured around a checklist of isolated skills—one week on main idea, another on summarizing, then moving on to character analysis. But is this approach truly helping students become strong, independent readers? The reality is that comprehension isn't just about mastering individual skills—it's an outcome that depends on multiple factors, including background knowledge, vocabulary, and fluency. When we focus too heavily on isolated comprehension strategies, we miss the bigger picture of what truly helps students understand and retain what they read.We'll break down why teaching comprehension skills in isolation doesn't lead to lasting comprehension and discuss the key factors that truly impact students' ability to understand a text. By the end of this episode, you'll start to see comprehension not as a checklist of strategies but as an outcome—one that requires the right instructional conditions to happen.
