'Art, Science, and the Politics of Knowledge (MIT Press, 2022)' by Hannah Star Rogers When I sat down with Hannah Star Rogers to discuss her new book Art, Science, and the Politics of Knowledge, I found myself nodding along to a refreshingly obvious yet somehow radical proposition: why do we insist on keeping art and science in separate corners? Rogers makes a compelling case that this artificial boundary isn't just limiting our understanding of both fields, it's actively distorting how we think about knowledge itself. What struck me most during our conversation was Rogers' articulation of Art-STS (ASTS) as an emerging field that refuses to play by the old rules os separation and siloed study. The field, and Rogers, recognizes that both artists and scientists are engaged in the same fundamental project - making sense of the world through experimentation, observation, and yes, imagination. When we acknowledge this shared enterprise, the implications ripple outward. Who gets to produce legitimate knowledge? Whose methods count as valid? These questions matter because they shape everything from funding decisions to educational curricula to which voices we trust in public discourse. Rogers doesn't just theorize about these connections; she shows us what happens when we take them seriously. The experimental collaborations she documents reveal knowledge production as a deeply social, often messy, always political process. This isn't a bug in the system, it's the system itself. And maybe, just maybe, admitting that is the first step toward building more honest and inclusive ways of understanding our world.

Adobe (ADBE) got a downgrade from Melius Research, with the firm citing A.I. "eating software" that will dig into the company's future profits. However, as Marley Kayden notes, Bernstein cited A.I. in its recent outperform rating for Adobe. Marley talks about the A.I. contradiction analysts raised with the company and what it means for its outlook. Prosper Trading Academy's Charles Moon offers an example options trade for Adobe.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

On this week's episode of The A Show -- Meelz & Justin talk about Summerslam weekend from Friday to Sunday; including the shocking return of Seth Rollins, and the controversial return of Brock Lesnar. They go longform on every match on the card, as well as why Cody/Cena II was one of the best matches of the year.

Discussion Highlights:Post-Enlightenment era: Shift from fact-driven, technocratic politics to emotional, myth-based narratives; “new romanticism” as politics serving emotional needs.Tribal politics: Politics as moralized conflict; unconditional leader loyalty; democratic norms waived as “necessary” in existential struggle; disinformation and conspiracy theories as tools of tribal mobilization.Free speech charade: How authoritarian leaders and tech moguls exploit “free speech” rhetoric to delegitimise content moderation; selective censorship in global social media platforms.Hungary's 2026 elections: Fidesz's entrenched media control; opposition lead in polls amid corruption scandals and economic woes; risk of electoral-system tweaks if the gap widens.Ukraine-fear campaign: Government-backed narratives linking EU/NATO enlargement to economic decline; pervasive anti-Ukrainian sentiment despite public sympathy and solidarity efforts.Migration narratives: Contradictions in anti-migration rhetoric versus labour needs in German-owned Hungarian automotive plants; persistence of sovereignty-based appeals.Budapest Pride mobilisation: Over 200,000 participants signalling civil-society resilience; government attempts to cast Pride as a threat to “family values.”Europe's response: Internal EU disruptors like Hungary; need for flexible, united EU measures (e.g., qualified-majority votes); potential leverage via conditionality on EU funds.About Péter KrekóPéter Krekó (born 20 March 1980 in Budapest) is a Hungarian social psychologist and political scientist.

These are two snippets from a full episode which is currently up on our patreon in which Breht dialectically inverts core aspects of liberal philosophy (i.e. freedom and democracy) from a Marxist perspective, and then explains how the contradiction between the relations and forces of production under capitalism create an untenable and abjectly immoral situation wherein profit maximization for a few is always and everywhere prioritized over the wellbeing and flourshing of the vast majority.  Transition song 'Antithesnails (spintstumentals) by Spinitch ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio: https://revleftradio.com/

This week, Anna runs a solo mission straight into the fog, Fogtown, that is. She's joined by Sean Parker, the puppet-wrangling, genre-bending mastermind behind Fogtown, the only detective story brave enough to ask: what if a puppet version of Sherlock Holmes had imposter syndrome, a spatula sword, and a head that occasionally falls off? We talk about how the pandemic turned a scrappy puppet TV show idea into a fully modular FMV game with real performances, rotating virtual sets, and actors from Phantasmagoria, Disco Elysium, and Contradiction. Sean spills the tea on a mystery publisher who ghosted harder than a Tinder date, how to keep a puppet's head attached during a fight scene, and why FMV deserves a weirder, brighter comeback. Plus: a tribute to the irreplaceable Roberta Vaughan, who championed lovely indie projects like Fogtown long before the rest of us caught on. Wishlist A Rum Case In Fogtown!

Send us a textSunday, July 27, 2025, sermon from apostle Bobby Shane Brooks, Legacy family member and founder of The Doctors Appointment in Georgia. With Canceling Contradiction, he extends the Governing Contradiction series another week."Christ" means "the anointed one and his anointing." We have the same anointing that Jesus had ("As He is, so are we in this world.") We have burden-removing, yoke-destroying, contradiction-canceling power of God. We speak to problems.

The troubling thing about William F. Buckley, the media savvy founder of modern American conservatism, isn't so much his politics, but his likability. How could such an overtly reactionary racist and homophobe (even if he was himself gay), be such a charming fellow beloved by all who knew him? That's one of the central questions which Sam Tanenhaus addresses in his massive new biography Buckley. Tanenhaus reveals shocking new details about the Buckley family's secret funding of segregationist newspapers and White Citizens Councils—information that even appalled Buckley's own son Christopher. Buckley explores how someone could be genuinely charitable and philanthropic in his personal affairs while promoting such corrosive politics. Tanenhaus argues we live in a moment when it seems "almost impossible to disentangle those personas," yet Buckley embodied both simultaneously. This wasn't just genteel bigotry—it was a foundational contradiction that changed the United States and now helps define the theatrical toxicity of Trump's America. 1. Buckley's Family Secretly Funded Segregationists"Buckley's family actually sponsored the publication of a newspaper that supported the White Citizens Council... Buckley had kept it secret. He never told anyone."Tanenhaus reveals that the Buckley family funded segregationist publications in the South—a bombshell that "appalled" even Buckley's own son Christopher.2. The Paradox of Personal Charm vs. Political Toxicity"Gary Wills... said Buckley was simply the most charitable man you would meet that he had ever known. And he said, I love everything about Bill Buckley, but his crazy reactionary politics."The central mystery: How could someone be genuinely kind in person while promoting destructive ideologies? Tanenhaus argues this contradiction is what made Buckley so complex and influential.3. Questions About Buckley's Sexuality Haunted His Public Life"Vidal called Buckley a crypto-Nazi and Buckley said, don't call me a Nazi, you queer or I'll sock you in the goddamn face."The famous 1968 debate with Gore Vidal exposed underlying tensions about Buckley's identity, with suggestions he was a "closeted gay man" himself while using homophobic language.4. Buckley Invented Modern Political Theater"Buckley's innovation... was to see that media itself could become the instrument for a kind of theatrical presentation of history. And that proved to be really precious. And that's what we're living with now is politics is a kind of theater and even entertainment."Through "Firing Line" and his seemingly ubiquitous media presence, Buckley pioneered the performative politics we see today.5. His American Dream Was Reactionary Restoration"It was a dream of restoration... what he wanted to do was to create an America his own parents would have been comfortable in."Buckley sought to return to the "late 19th and early 20th centuries of entrepreneurialism, of laissez-faire economics"—a world Tanenhaus calls "a powerful delusion."

Hello to you listening in Wenatchee, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.From Great Britain during World War II came this observation about the wide-ranging effect of radio on the population: “Radio exposes nearly everybody in the country to a rapid, bewildering succession of emotional experiences. Our minds and our moral natures just cannot respond to the bombardment of contradictions and confusion.”Sounds a lot like us 85 years later! Media platforms have exploded with hourly tsunamis of news! There is no shortage of overwhelming, emotional experiences. We were not made for this. No wonder we feel exhausted, crazy, unsettled, and lost from the unrelenting pummeling of it all.So what do we do now? Know this: All is impermanent. The tide will turn. When you come to the end of your rope tie a knot and hold on. Find good company in animal companions, in faith, family and friends. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Take a well-deserved break and a lesson from nature: When the leader of a V-formation of birds gets tired it drops back and another bird takes its turn in the lead. Be willing to drop back and let others support you until you are ready to soar again. Thank you for listening! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

In this episode of Red Menace, Breht and Alyson dive into Mao Zedong's pivotal 1957 speech On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People. This foundational text offers insight into Mao's dialectical approach to politics, particularly in navigating the complex terrain of class struggle within socialist society. Together they explore Mao's crucial distinction between antagonistic and non-antagonistic contradictions, and how this distinction can guide revolutionary praxis. The discussion includes an analysis of the “unity–struggle–unity” dialectic, the historical context and lessons of the Hundred Flowers and Hundred Schools campaigns, and the subsequent Anti-Rightist backlash. They also examine Mao's critique of Han chauvinism and draw parallels to white chauvinism in the contemporary U.S., as well as Mao's position on Tibet and the historical legacy of how that conflict played out, and how it is still weaponized today. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio: https://revleftradio.com/

In this episode of Red Menace, Breht and Alyson dive into Mao Zedong's pivotal 1957 speech On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People. This foundational text offers insight into Mao's dialectical approach to politics, particularly in navigating the complex terrain of class struggle within socialist society. Together they explore Mao's crucial distinction between antagonistic and non-antagonistic contradictions, and how this distinction can guide revolutionary praxis. The discussion includes an analysis of the “unity–struggle–unity” dialectic, the historical context and lessons of the Hundred Flowers and Hundred Schools campaigns, and the subsequent Anti-Rightist backlash.

Rev. Rodney Henderson Galatians 2:11-14

Gary discusses a few "contradictions" commonly pointed out by critics. These textual "issues" seem to be difficult on the surface, but a bit of deeper reading makes it obvious that these "problems" with the Biblical text are not really problems at all. Christians must read in order to understand, and recognize that differences in how things are reported in the Bible are theologically significant and add depth and layers to the text as a whole.

In this special episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we share a thought-provoking message from Shane Willard that challenges the way many of us were taught to read the Bible.Is the Bible simple, clear, and static - or is it ancient, diverse, and complex? Shane dives deep into the nature of inspiration, why Jesus and Paul approached Scripture so radically, and how truth is better understood through three layers: literal, symbolic, and evental.00:00 - Welcome & Housekeeping  01:04 - Introducing Shane Willard's Sermons  02:45 - Why Share Shane's Messages  03:11 - Opening Affirmation on Scripture  04:37 - Paul & Jesus on Inspiration  06:00 - Jesus' Radical Acts of Compassion  08:15 - Meaning of Inspiration  09:15 - Breath, Inspire, and Expire  10:36 - The Bible as Ancient, Diverse, Complex  13:33 - Three Layers of Truth: Literal, Symbolic, Evental  17:06 - The Meaning of the Cross  19:55 - The Power of Personal Meaning  22:28 - Levels of Engagement with Scripture  25:08 - Stories of Disobedience and Tragedy  27:06 - Descriptive vs Prescriptive Scripture  28:05 - Use of Fiction and External Literature  28:47 - Contradictions & Evolving Views  30:07 - Voices in Scripture: Victim, Accuser, Christ  31:11 - How the Early Church Read Scripture  31:51 - The Five Guiding Rules of Interpretation  33:07 - Biblical vs Christ-Centered Society  34:36 - Genre-Specific Interpretation  35:18 - Incarnational Nature of Scripture  35:38 - The Bible as a Pilgrimage Story  36:22 - Examples of Genre and Literary Devices  37:42 - Human Voice in Scripture  39:49 - Doubting an Unworthy Image of Jesus  40:10 - Break Before Next Session

American Hypocrisy: Why Do We Tolerate These Contradictions? The contradictions in American life are everywhere — and today, we break them down. Why is sex work still taboo when porn is the internet's #1 use? Why are gay adult performers still punished while straight ones get mainstream careers? Why do we spend billions on incarceration but won't invest in housing? Why do we mourn 100 deaths in Texas but ignore daily massacres in Gaza or Ukraine? And why, in a nation of excess, do so many still go hungry? From reality shows like Love Island booting cast members over adult content, to America's obsession with punishment over prevention, today's Karel Cast dives deep into the twisted double standards that define U.S. culture. If you've ever wondered why America seems so upside down — I've got thoughts. Uncensored. Unfiltered. Unhinged. It's The Karel Cast.

Have you ever felt confused by seemingly conflicting messages in your coaching journey? Whether you're training to become a coach, have been in practice for years, or are simply curious about coaching, you've probably come across contradictions that make you pause and wonder: Is this right? Or is it wrong? Or… could it be both? In this episode we dive into some of the most common contradictions that coaches face, especially during training and development. We reflect on the nuances we encounter as coach trainers and practitioners, unpicking the complexities of coaching goals, non-directiveness, sharing of self, professional boundaries, and the role of structure versus fluidity. This episode was such a joy to record because it gave us space to validate the “messy middle” where so many coaches find themselves. That tension between learning the rules and evolving beyond them. It reminded me of how deeply coaching is rooted in conscious choice, relationship, and reflection. From the irony of learning rigid frameworks only to outgrow them, to the beauty of coaching mastery as an art of flow and discernment, this episode is all about embracing paradox. If you're someone who finds themselves craving clarity while swimming in contradiction, you'll likely feel seen here. We also talk about the journey of personal growth alongside professional development, how who we are as people directly influences who we become as coaches. There are no hard and fast rules, and that's both liberating and confronting. We hope this conversation helps you feel a little more grounded in the uncertainty, and even a little more curious. Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction: Why contradictions in coaching matter 01:00 – The goals paradox: clarity at the start… or at the end? 05:15 – Is coaching really non-directive? 08:35 – When and how to share your own experience as a coach 13:25 – What clients actually need and how this impacts your role 16:00 – Coaching bodies and different competency frameworks 17:40 – The craving for models: structure, freedom, and finding your style 22:00 – What coaching mastery really looks like 23:45 – Clients bring contradictions too 24:40 – Final reflections and invitation to explore coaching further   Key Lessons Learned: Goals aren't always clear at the start and sometimes clarity is the goal. Non-directiveness is a principle, not a rule; conscious choice is the key. Self-disclosure can build connection when used with intention and care. Frameworks and models are useful, until they become restrictive. Mastery lies in flexibility, knowing when to hold structure and when to release it. Clients themselves live in contradiction, and your role is to help them make sense of that tension. Coaching isn't just future-focused, it often invites reflection on the past. There are many paths to being a great coach and none of them are identical.   Keywords: coaching contradictions, non-directive coaching, coaching goals, coaching frameworks, coaching training UK, becoming a coach, coaching vs mentoring, emotional coaching, self-disclosure in coaching, coaching mastery,   Links & Resources: mycoachingcourse.com – Take the quiz and explore our coaching training programmes https://igcompany.co.uk/

In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin dive deep into how the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, and how we can shift them to align with who we truly are becoming. From long-held beliefs that no longer serve us to surprising insights that challenge our identity, the Laurels explore the powerful relationship between self-talk, personal growth, and transformation. They share personal examples, including the “I'm not a plant person” myth and the courageous redefinition of divorce, to illuminate how rewriting your internal narrative can lead to freedom, joy, and fulfillment. You'll walk away with practical steps to begin shifting your own story, questions to spark reflection, and encouragement to receive the help you need along the way. If you've ever felt stuck in a role or identity that no longer fits, this conversation will inspire you to author a new chapter that reflects your deepest desires and dreams. Your story matters. Your life matters.

What part of my life feels repetitive, stuck, or uninspiring? If I could rewrite that chapter, what would I want it to look like instead? How do the words I use about myself shape my daily experience? What's one word I could replace that would feel more empowering? What story have I been holding onto because it feels safer than facing the unknown? If I'm the casting director of my life, what new role do I want to step into next? Where am I resisting help and how could receiving support move me closer to my new story? Who am I without the roles I've clung to (like “the helper,” “the caretaker,” “the peacekeeper”, “the responsible one”)? What is something in my life right now that contradicts a story I've been telling myself? What proof exists that a new story is possible? What do I truly want that I've been afraid to claim? If I could dream beyond my wildest dreams, what new story would I be bold enough to write for my life now?

When Karma Meets Dharma: Contradictions of Destiny and Duty Do the choices you made in your past life shape the family, friends, and circumstances you're born into? And how do bhakti-yogis navigate a path of dharma that sometimes seems to contradict itself — demanding sacrifice, mercy, or even revenge — all in the name of love? In this live Q&A from Tuscany, Raghunath and Kaustubha tackle two profound questions: how to take radical responsibility (karma) and how to recognize the right course of action when dharma appears to point in conflicting directions. From choosing your parents before birth to uncovering the love hidden in even the toughest moral dilemmas, this conversation reveals how karma and dharma lead us toward spiritual growth — if we trust the divine plan. ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

The Middle East is a riddle. Religious and political factions have made it a tinderbox for as long as any of us has been alive. Now, between the Israeli decapitation of the its military and science corps, and the United States' Bunker Busters, Iran, which has enjoyed indirect control of the region through its proxies, is facing the unknown. That's where we start today in a short essay regarding the contradictory nature of the Middle East. I hope you'll listen.

I'm back for another solo episode! In this one, I'm catching you up on everything: life lately, parenting epiphanies, personal shifts, and a few hot takes I had to get off my chest. From summer travel plans and raising pre-teens to why I'm not falling for every wellness trend online, this one's a mix of honest reflections and playful rants (yes, we're talking about fantasy books, healing culture, and capri pants). I also open up about feeling disconnected from social media, the emotional weight of parenting older kids, and the importance of building real community. If you're navigating your own in-between season or need some camaraderie in the messy, beautiful chaos of life, this one's for you.

A new MP3 sermon from Answers in Genesis Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Contradictions in the Creation Account? Subtitle: Answers with Ken Ham Speaker: Ken Ham Broadcaster: Answers in Genesis Ministries Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 6/26/2025 Length: 1 min.

Many people think the first two chapters of the Bible contradict one another. Which chapter's right?

In this hard-hitting segment, Tara and Lee dissect the media's chaotic narrative around Iran's nuclear program—first claiming it didn't exist, then acknowledging it did after Trump bombed it. They expose the mainstream media's selective outrage and reliance on enemy sources like Hamas while ignoring admissions from Iran's own foreign minister. The episode shifts to Ted Cruz's viral grilling of Biden energy advisor David Arkush, who once called for prosecuting oil executives for murder—despite admitting he arrived at the Capitol using gas-powered Uber. Tara and Lee then debunk the fantasy of “clean energy,” citing Toyota's chairman and the massive carbon footprint behind EVs, wind, and solar tech. A scathing takedown of media lies, progressive hypocrisy, and the myth of zero-emission living.

Contradictions well folks they lead to destruction. If you're not happy with where your kids at or where your business is at, maybe they're not following what you want them to do. Check your own actions… Check yourself before you wreck yourself and your relationships and business. Check out this week commit and go podcast.

Episode OverviewDavid and Adam share humorous anecdotes from their chaotic home lives—mice-catching kids, runaway cows, and pig feeder mishaps—before diving into a deep discussion on spiritual growth. Drawing from Father Frederick Faber's Growth in Holiness, they explore five practical signs of progress in the spiritual life, offering insights for men seeking to deepen their relationship with God. The episode balances lighthearted banter with profound reflections on humility, perseverance, and living intentionally for Christ.Key Discussion PointsLife Updates:Adam recounts his son Leo's antics, including catching mice and feeding them into traps, and opening a gate, letting a cow escape during relentless Oklahoma rain. He also shares the challenges of a kitchen remodel, leading to household disorder and a mouse infestation.David discusses his pigs knocking over their feeder, eating through plywood, and his frustration-driven rebuild with metal siding, highlighting the manual labor woes of farm life.Spiritual Focus: The hosts explore Father Frederick Faber's Growth in Holiness (published by Cor Iesu Press), focusing on Chapter 1's five signs of progress in the spiritual life. Faber, a 19th-century Oratorian and convert, offers timeless clarity on Catholic spirituality.Contradictions in the Spiritual Life: Faber notes the spiritual life is full of contradictions due to our fallen nature, particularly the tension between knowing ourselves deeply while thinking of ourselves humbly. David challenges the modern adage that humility is “thinking about yourself less,” arguing that true humility requires rightly ordered self-reflection.What Not to Do:Don't Ask Your Spiritual Director for Progress Reports: Faber advises against seeking your spiritual director's judgment on your progress, as it places unfair pressure on them and risks oversimplifying complex spiritual states.Avoid Arbitrary Benchmarks: Setting personal, artificial markers of progress can lead to disquietude, distracting from genuine growth and forfeiting graces.Five Signs of Spiritual Progress:Discontent with Your Present State: A desire to be holier, coupled with humility and gratitude for past graces, indicates progress. This discontent must avoid sloth (acedia) or unease with devotional practices.Constant Fresh Starts: Persevering through repeated failures by recommitting to holiness (e.g., overcoming a persistent sin like pornography) is a sign of growth, reflecting perseverance.Specific Goals in View: Actively pursuing a particular virtue, overcoming a specific fault, or adopting a penance shows intentionality, akin to a business plan for spiritual growth.Feeling God's Particular Call: An “attraction” to a specific fault to correct or pious work to undertake, guided by the Holy Spirit, signals progress. Not all experience this, but it's significant when present.General Desire for Perfection: A broad desire to be more perfect, if acted upon through prayer, penance, or zealous acts, is valuable but must be channeled into action to avoid spiritual stagnation.Practical Reflections:Adam shares his practice of writing down elements of a “good day” (waking early, praying, reading, working hard, family dinner, early bedtime) to replicate satisfying days, aligning with Faber's call for specific goals.David reflects on overcoming obsessive thoughts by offering gratitude to God, transforming burdens into opportunities for grace, illustrating the power of fresh starts.Hot...

In this episode of the America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano tells the remarkable story of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence and the only Catholic to sign it. Born into immense wealth but denied basic rights due to his faith, Carroll risked everything to support American independence. His signature was more than ink. It represented a bold commitment to the words, “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” Discover how this overlooked Founder became a powerful voice for liberty, challenged religious discrimination, and helped shape a freer nation, despite the contradictions he carried. Episode Highlights: The untold story of how a wealthy Catholic outsider became a key voice in America's fight for independence and a signer of the Declaration Why Charles Carroll risked everything by boldly signing the Declaration of Independence with “of Carrollton” to ensure the British knew it was him How Carroll championed religious freedom, helped lay the foundation for the First Amendment, and his internal contradictions on slavery
