Podcasts about contradictions

Mable is consumed with her appearance, weight, and food choices. She frequently fasts, not out of a heartfelt desire to glorify God with her body or soul, but as a means to control her image and find approval. Contradictions mark her conversations—she often projects self-righteousness in her discipline yet also reveals deep insecurity through her comparisons to others.

Ep. 218 What happens when your relationship with God is built on rules, guilt, and fear — not love, freedom, and connection? In this powerful episode, Maryann Rivera-Dannert opens up about growing up in a strict Pentecostal household where makeup, music, and curiosity were forbidden. With raw honesty and reflection, she shares how she began questioning what she was taught, explored different faith traditions, and ultimately found peace in redefining her relationship with the Divine — beyond religion, beyond judgment. ✨ You'll hear about: The difference between religion and relationship Letting go of fear-based conditioning Reclaiming spirituality as a personal, evolving journey How to find God within — not just in a church If you've ever questioned your faith or struggled to reconcile your spirituality with your upbringing, this episode will help you find peace, purpose, and permission to evolve.

HEADLINE: China's Economic Contradictions: Deflation and Consumer Wariness Undermine GDP Growth ClaimsGUEST NAME: Fraser Howie SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Fraser Howie about China facing severe economic contradictions despite high World Bank forecasts. Deflation remains rampant with frequently negative CPI and PPI figures. Consumer wariness and high youth unemployment at one in seven persist throughout the economy. The GDP growth figure is viewed as untrustworthy, manufactured through debt in a command economy. Decreased container ship arrivals point to limited actual growth, exacerbated by higher US tariffs. Economic reforms appear unlikely as centralization under Xi Jinping continues.

What if the Bible was written with deep structural patterns designed to echo across generations—economically and theologically? In this riveting episode, Dr. Joshua Berman joins Dru Johnson to reveal how literary design, verbal repetition, and cultural continuity make the Bible not a patchwork, but a carefully composed unity. Through examples ranging from Genesis and Judges to Exodus and Samuel, Berman shows how the same words, images, and narrative arcs—like “sword and bow” or reversal of blessing—carry deliberate echoes and layered meanings across the text. They also explore gendered storytelling in Exodus 2, the function of poetry in biblical prose, and why embedded songs like Exodus 15 don't contradict the narrative—they expand it. Berman explains how ancient readers trained in repetition and orality would have caught these cues instantly, and why modern readers miss them. This episode is also a personal one, as Berman shares how leading Jewish tours in Egypt deepened his faith in the biblical text—and even led to unexpected moments of hope across religious and national divides. This is a masterclass in reading Scripture deeply—linguistically, literarily, and spiritually. We are listener supported.

A King In A Cave // Crown Of Contradictions // John Isemann by Sunday Podcast

Joe tackles 3 of the supposed “contradictions” addressed by Redeemed Zoomer in his recent video. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and as many of you may already know, Redeemed Zoomer recently released a video where he laid out 14 examples of what he believed were Catholic contradictions. Four of them were claims that he made where the Catholic church he said had contradicted itself and infallible declarations. Now, Trent Horn has already done a fantastic reply looking at all 14 of those, but it’s really hard to do justice to 14 larg...

Many work with therapists to improve their relationships or understand their motivations, but few of us take the time to look inward and discover why we handle our finances the way that we do. Nathan offers insights from Richard Thaler on why we are so inconsistent with how we think about money, and from Steve Buckholder on how to get out of your own way when approaching your financial goals. Also on MoneyTalk, the differences between IRAs and non-retirement accounts, and the Big Three stock indices. Host: Nathan Beauvais, CFP®, CIMA®, CPWA®; Air Date: 10/3/2025.

Everyone says that Genesis 2 contradicts Genesis 1! Could everyone be wrong? Join Paul and Todd as they discuss the alleged problems with Genesis 2 in this latest episode in our Creationism 101 series. From the name of God to the creation of birds, Todd and Paul take on eight contradictions and find most of them wanting. The detailed creation of Adam is definitely different from the creation week, but rumors of contradiction are greatly exaggerated.Materials mentioned in this episodeCameron, N.M. de S. 1980.

In this episode Rosie Moss is joined by Zoe Flory, who shares the story of her late partner Patrick from their whirlwind first meeting in a Brighton pub to navigating his terminal cancer diagnosis to raising their daughter Addie after his death.With unflinching honesty and flashes of humour, Zoe speaks about the reality of becoming a full-time caregiver, the heartbreak of watching Patrick fade under the weight of cancer and Lynch syndrome, and the extraordinary tenderness that carried them through.Zoe recalls the messy, magical, and devastating moments: draining fluid from Patrick's lungs at home, creating “daddy magic” rituals for their toddler, and choosing a pub-style wake over the cremation she wasn't ready for. She talks openly about preparing a young child for loss, using imaginative metaphors like “Daddy lives on the moon” to help Addie find comfort.Now living in a platonic co-parenting arrangement with a close friend, Zoe reflects on parenting through grief, reclaiming her own identity, and the contradictions of widowhood where love, loss, exhaustion and laughter all collide.This conversation is a reminder that grief is never simple, caregiving is never easy, and yet new forms of family and meaning can grow in the wake of heartbreak.

"What the hell is water?" Art, music, literature, drama. When the frontiers of human potential slam against capitalist industry, a force that can't be stopped confronts an object that can't be moved. Capitalism twists and redirects culture and imagination into a revenue stream, limiting to its flow the ideas we're allowed have and drowning all the rest. At the nexus of pop culture and "Pop Culture" struggles Superman, swimming against the current. ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, Richard Bell, TakoTuesday, Joseph, and Knife Money ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics

SBOMs were supposed to be the ingredient label for software—bringing transparency, faster response, and stronger trust. But reality shows otherwise. Fewer than 1% of GitHub projects have policy-driven SBOMs. Only 15% of developer SBOM questions get answered. And while 86% of EU firms claim supply chain policies, just 47% actually fund them.So why do SBOMs stall as compliance artifacts instead of risk-reduction tools? And what happens when they do work?In this episode of AppSec Contradictions, Sean Martin examines:Why SBOM adoption is laggingThe cost of static SBOMs for developers, AppSec teams, and business leadersReal-world examples where SBOMs deliver measurable valueHow AISBOMs are extending transparency into AI models and dataCatch the full companion article in the Future of Cybersecurity newsletter for deeper analysis and more research.

Can you be both against abortion and supportive of the death penalty? Can you claim all life is sacred but cheer on dehumanizing immigrants?

Wendi Adelson's trial testimony has many contradictions. In this episode, Jack Fox applies Statement Investigation to compare her court statements with what she told police in her original interview—and what she's said in trials since. From her unclear answers about using Whatsapp, to her changing explanation of who she was speaking to when she drove down Trescott Drive near the crime scene, Wendi's language reveals more than she might intend.Jack examines how her words shift over time, and how her flat emotional tone contrasts with the gravity of what she's describing. With the guilty verdicts for her brother Charlie and mother Donna Adelson, how much did Wendi know about the plot to kill Dan Markel. This is a forensic breakdown of testimony, interrogation, and cross examination—through the lens of languageWant more from Never A Truer Word?

Message from Matt Sweetman on September 28, 2025

In this episode, we're joined once again by Christopher Nuland, technical marketing manager at Red Hat, whose globe-trotting schedule rivals the complexity of a Kubernetes deployment. Christopher sits down with hosts Bailey and Frank La Vigne to explore the frontier of artificial intelligence—from simulating reality and continuous learning models to debates around whether we really need humanoid robots to achieve superintelligence, or if a convincingly detailed simulation (think Grand Theft Auto, but for AI) might get us there first.Christopher takes us on a whirlwind tour of Google DeepMind's pioneering alpha projects, the latest buzz around simulating experiences for AI, and the metaphysical rabbit hole of iRobot and simulation theory. We dive into why the next big advancement in AI might not come from making models bigger, but from making them better at simulating the world around them. Along the way, we tackle timely topics in AI governance, security, and the ethics of continuous learning, with plenty of detours through pop culture, finance, and grassroots tech conferences.If you're curious about where the bleeding edge of AI meets science fiction, and how simulation could redefine the race for superintelligence, this episode is for you. Buckle up—because reality might just be the next thing AI learns to hack.Time Stamps00:00 Upcoming European and US Conferences05:38 AI Optimization Plateau08:43 Simulation's Role in Spatial Awareness10:00 Evolutionary Efficiency of Human Brains16:30 "Robotics Laws and Contradictions"17:32 AI, Paperclips, and Robot Ethics22:18 Troubleshooting Insight Experience25:16 Challenges in Training Deep Learning Models27:15 Challenges in Continuous Model Training32:04 AI Gateway for Specialized Requests36:54 Open Source and Rapid Innovation38:10 Industry-Specific AI Breakthroughs43:28 Misrepresented R&D Success Rates44:51 POC Challenges: Meaningful Versus Superficial47:59 "Crypto's Bumpy Crash"52:59 AI: Beyond Models to Simulation

The memorial service for Charlie Kirk revealed a deep contradiction with the MAGA movement. Kirk's widow was cheered when she forgave his assassin and modeled Jesus' command to love your enemies. But the crowd also cheered when Stephen Miller and President Trump dehumanized their opponents and expressed hatred for their enemies. Esau McCaulley joins Phil and Skye to discuss the tension between Christian love and pagan power. Also this week, Dr. Terence Lester tells his inspiring story in his new book, “From Dropout to Doctorate,” and how he's working both spiritually and systemically to reform education.

AI and data help tell us what people do, but not why. Lauren Taylor, global leader of BCG's Center for Customer Insight, makes sense of the mixed signals that consumers give off. To truly understand what drives people, businesses of course value robust, real-time data. But they also must uncover the context, motivators, and human truth behind every choice.

Motherhood is beautiful, but it's also messy, complicated, and full of contradictions. We love our kids more than anything, yet we're exhausted. We give endlessly, but still need space for ourselves. We show patience one moment and lose it the next. In this episode, we open up about the duality of motherhood, the push and pull between joy and struggle, selflessness and self-care, and how embracing both sides can help us feel less alone in the journey.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux explores Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB) and its impact on morality and societal coherence. The discussion highlights contradictions in human thought, emphasizing the discomfort these inconsistencies create in rational minds. The relationship between philosophical reasoning and physical coercion is analyzed, questioning the sustainability of principles amidst conflict.The lecture also examines the role of cultural myths in fostering group solidarity and critiques the narrow assessment of capitalism, advocating for recognition of its broader virtues. Ultimately, UPB serves as a standard for moral integrity, underscoring the importance of self-ownership and moral consistency in society.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In episode 72, Allyson chats with psychiatric nurse practitioner and lived experience advocate, Grace Kim PMHNP-BC, about the contradictions of psychiatry, as well as what psychiatry in eating disorder care can look like. There is so much (understandable) skepticism when it comes to psychiatric medications, how can we hold both the ways that it can be useful and life saving, as well as the ways it can create more harm and distress? You'll hear us cover:Care vs. Control in Psychiatry Science vs. Subjectivity in PsychiatryLiberation vs. Oppression in PsychiatryMedication Supports for Eating DisordersHow to hold client skepticism through an anti-oppression lensGrace's personal experience with EDs, Korean beauty standards and psychiatric support.About our guest:Grace Kim, PMHNP-BC (she/her) is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering virtual and in-person care for adults across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Did Wendi Adelson Slip Up? Nervous Contradictions Caught on Tape The interrogation continues — and Wendi Adelson's answers only get stranger. In this segment, Tony, Stacy, and Todd pause and analyze as her story zig-zags through contradictions and defensive rambling. From insisting no one could want Dan Markel dead to suddenly floating multiple theories, her nervous energy fills the room. The team points out how her tone shifts depending on the question — at times defiant, at times almost childlike. They compare her to her mother, Donna, who also has a knack for spewing half-truths and denials whenever backed into a corner. Wendi's performance raises the same central question: is this just shock and trauma talking, or is she carefully trying to dodge what she knows? What makes this segment especially gripping is the blend of serious analysis with raw honesty about how anyone might behave under police pressure. The hosts even share their own experiences being interrogated for unrelated reasons, showing just how intimidating the process can be. But in Wendi's case, the nervous tangents and contradictions don't feel random — they feel like pieces of truth slipping out by accident. This isn't courtroom theater; it's the raw, messy, unfiltered first reaction of someone whose family would later be tied directly to a murder plot. And whether Wendi knew it or not, her words here would echo through the years of trials, appeals, and speculation that followed.

We are truly blessed to have you joining us today for our latest edition of Handbook for Humanity! This episode is part 2 of a two part series on St. John Paul II's writings on the subject of Purity. Adele and Tom are joined once again by University of Louisiana Phd student, Hallee Mire as they break open JP II's thoughts on why its so important to give purity a prominent place in modern culture.

We are tackling one of the most difficult passages in the Bible that comes from 1 Timothy 2 about women keeping silent and not being able to teach a man. It has been a hot topic and debated for centuries! What does Paul say? What does he mean by what he says? Is there a contradiction here? Does Paul contradict his very own thoughts? We're going to dissect it and give our input in this podcast. There is a part 1 and a part 2.

Threat modeling is often called the foundation of secure software design—anticipating attackers, uncovering flaws, and embedding resilience before a single line of code is written. But does it really work in practice?In this episode of AppSec Contradictions, Sean Martin explores why threat modeling so often fails to deliver:It's treated as a one-time exercise, not a continuous processResearch shows teams who put risk first discover 2x more high-priority threatsYet fewer than 4 in 10 organizations use systematic threat modeling at scaleDrawing on insights from SANS, Forrester, and Gartner, Sean breaks down the gap between theory and reality—and why evolving our processes, not just our models, is the only path forward.

AI is everywhere in application security today — but instead of fixing the problem of false positives, it often makes the noise worse. In this first episode of AppSec Contradictions, Sean Martin explores why AI in application security is failing to deliver on its promises.False positives dominate AppSec programs, with analysts wasting time on irrelevant alerts, developers struggling with insecure AI-written code, and business leaders watching ROI erode. Industry experts like Forrester and Gartner warn that without strong governance, AI risks amplifying chaos instead of clarifying risk.This episode breaks down:• Why 70% of analyst time is wasted on false positives• How AI-generated code introduces new security risks• What “alert fatigue” means for developers, security teams, and business leaders• Why automating bad processes creates more noise, not less 

In this episode, Swamiji unveils the profound contradictions in Shree Krishna's divine personality, as illuminated by the Ishavasya Upanishad. Listeners will explore how God is simultaneously near and far, impartial yet devoted, unborn yet incarnating repeatedly. These paradoxes are not flaws—they are divine mysteries that challenge the intellect and invite surrender.  Building upon our previous episode on God's omnipresence and the path to inner growth, this discussion deepens your understanding of how faith—not logic—is the key to spiritual realization. Tune in to discover how embracing divine contradictions can elevate your bhakti and bring you closer to the Infinite.

Does James contradict the Bible when he says God tempts no one?  Rightly parsing the Greek words James uses for “testing” and “trials” gives us clarity on what he meant, which when taken at face value from the English appears to be a contradiction to the rest of the Bible.

One of the greatest and classic challenges of biblical scholarship has been the contradictions between chapter 1 and 2. Many don't pay attention, but in fact the chapters are quite at odds with one another.Today we articulate many of the differences between the chapters and then we offer a dialectical model which sees ch.1 and 2 in dialectical tension, in the end offering a more holistic picture of the world.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B welcomes Jay Hill for an in-depth exploration of public outrage, gender roles, and the layered dynamics of domestic violence. The conversation begins with Jay sharing his journey and book promotion [00:00], before diving into the culture of selective outrage and how gender roles shape public perception [00:49]. They reflect on celebrity accountability [04:11], concert experiences, and the divide between artist popularity and audience reaction [07:00]. The dialogue then turns toward the state of R&B and hip-hop [13:04], with Mandii and Jay highlighting how artists like Kendrick Lamar and SZA influence the industry, while also weaving in personal experiences and encounters with celebrities [18:01]. This leads to a candid discussion on interview aspirations and the ethical dilemmas of platforming controversial figures [21:45]. From there, the conversation deepens into justice, consequences, and responsibility [28:44]. Mandii and Jay explore the ripple effects of violence [39:05], the layered complexity of domestic abuse cases [46:26], and the role of restraint in relationships [52:24]. Sha’Carri Richardson’s recent arrest serves as a case study to unpack how gender and violence intersect in the public eye. The episode closes with cultural reflections—how comedy influences social norms and Ari Lennox’s critique of its ties to colorism [01:05:39], and why society must prioritize unlearning and accountability [01:13:07]. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guests on Social Media@mr_jayhill Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
