In another compelling episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri and I are joined by Dr. Pippa Malmgren to unpack the profound challenges facing American society today. Drawing from her extensive experience in US and UK political spheres, Pippa explores the collapse of shared narratives amid political polarization, economic pressures, and an overwhelming flood of information that drives people into ideological silos. She highlights how this ‘narrative collapse,' fueled by repeated national traumas and algorithm-driven media, threatens public trust, rational discourse, and the very legitimacy of government. Pippa calls this moment a Copernican shift in American reality, emphasizing the urgent need for what she so beautifully describes as ‘heartware'- empathy, compassion, and courageous dialogue – to navigate these turbulent times. We also touch on the implications of recent UAP disclosures as symbols of institutional opacity and the limits of current scientific paradigms as Pippa offers a vital perspective on how we might rebuild understanding and resilience in an era defined by uncertainty and division. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com.  Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.

What happens when we examine the American Dream through the lens of spiritual wisdom? In our latest episode, we explore how our collective understanding of happiness, success, and fulfillment has become distorted by what esoteric philosophy calls "glamours" - the emotional mists that cloud our perception of reality. As we navigate the early days of 2025, with its rapid changes and challenges, we take a fresh look at the beliefs that have shaped our society. From the "glamour of personal ambition" to the notion that the self is the center of the universe (what's described as a "pre-Copernican mindset"), the conversation covers how these distortions affect everything from personal relationships to economic systems. Just as Copernicus revolutionized our understanding of the solar system, we may need a similar shift in consciousness to move from ego-centered to eco-centered living. The discussion takes us through nine specific glamours identified in the teachings of Alice Bailey, offering practical insights for recognizing these distortions in ourselves. The episode suggests that true transformation begins when we "remove the mist" from our perception - not by pointing fingers at external institutions, but by addressing the distortions within our own consciousness. As they note in the conversation, "You can't blame anyone else" when it comes to seeing clearly. We conclude by exploring what a society built on caring and sharing might look like, and how we might create what Martin Luther King called "beloved community" - a constellation of lives working together in harmony. This begins not with external restructuring but with entering "through the portal of the heart," allowing us to build a world that reflects our deeper values rather than our surface desires.

 Mar. 5, 2025 Dr. Simon Steel (SETI Institute)Dr. Steel discusses the Copernican revolution and how it changed humanity's view of its place in the universe. He then talked about other "Copernican" discoveries that displaced us from a central perch, including the revision of our place in the Galaxy, the discovery of other galaxies, and now our finding a remarkable number of planets (including Earth-like planets) orbiting other stars.  He explains how such discoveries give context for, and have prepared us for, the next potential Copernican revolution, the discover of intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos. He concludes by describing some of the most exciting experiments now underway to find evidence of such life among the nearest stars and busiest galaxies.  Dr. Steel is  Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center for Research at the SETI Institute.

Immanuel Kant was popular at his death. The whole town emptied out to see him. His last words were "it is good". But was his philosophy any good? In order to find out, we dive into Chapter 7 of Conjectures and Refutations: Kant's Critique and Cosmology, where Popper rescues Kant's reputation from the clutches of the dastardly German Idealists. We discuss Deontology vs consquentialism vs virtue ethics Kant's Categorical Imperative Kant's contributions to cosmology and politics Kant as a defender of the enlightenment Romanticism vs (German) idealism vs critical rationalism Kant's cosmology and cosmogony Kant's antimony and his proofs that the universe is both finite and infinite in time Kant's Copernican revolution and transcendental idealism Kant's morality Why Popper admired Kant so much, and why he compares him to Socrates Quotes Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! "Have courage to use your own understanding!" --that is the motto of enlightenment. - An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? (Translated by Ted Humphrey, Hackett Publishing, 1992) (Alternate translation from Popper: Enlightenment is the emancipation of man from a state of self-imposed tutelage . . . of incapacity to use his own intelligence without external guidance. Such a state of tutelage I call ‘self-imposed' if it is due, not to lack of intelligence, but to lack of courage or determination to use one's own intelligence without the help of a leader. Sapere aude! Dare to use your own intelligence! This is the battle-cry of the Enlightenment.) - C&R, Chap 6 What lesson did Kant draw from these bewildering antinomies? He concluded that our ideas of space and time are inapplicable to the universe as a whole. We can, of course, apply the ideas of space and time to ordinary physical things and physical events. But space and time themselves are neither things nor events: they cannot even be observed: they are more elusive. They are a kind of framework for things and events: something like a system of pigeon-holes, or a filing system, for observations. Space and time are not part of the real empir- ical world of things and events, but rather part of our mental outfit, our apparatus for grasping this world. Their proper use is as instruments of observation: in observing any event we locate it, as a rule, immediately and intuitively in an order of space and time. Thus space and time may be described as a frame of reference which is not based upon experience but intuitively used in experience, and properly applicable to experience. This is why we get into trouble if we misapply the ideas of space and time by using them in a field which transcends all possible experience—as we did in our two proofs about the universe as a whole. ... To the view which I have just outlined Kant chose to give the ugly and doubly misleading name ‘Transcendental Idealism'. He soon regretted this choice, for it made people believe that he was an idealist in the sense of denying the reality of physical things: that he declared physical things to be mere ideas. Kant hastened to explain that he had only denied that space and time are empirical and real — empirical and real in the sense in which physical things and events are empirical and real. But in vain did he protest. His difficult style sealed his fate: he was to be revered as the father of German Idealism. I suggest that it is time to put this right. - C&R, Chap 6 Kant believed in the Enlightenment. He was its last great defender. I realize that this is not the usual view. While I see Kant as the defender of the Enlightenment, he is more often taken as the founder of the school which destroyed it—of the Romantic School of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. I contend that these two interpretations are incompatible. Fichte, and later Hegel, tried to appropriate Kant as the founder of their school. But Kant lived long enough to reject the persistent advances of Fichte, who proclaimed himself Kant's successor and heir. In A Public Declaration Concerning Fichte, which is too little known, Kant wrote: ‘May God protect us from our friends. . . . For there are fraudulent and perfidious so-called friends who are scheming for our ruin while speaking the language of good-will.' - C&R, Chap 6 As Kant puts it, Copernicus, finding that no progress was being made with the theory of the revolving heavens, broke the deadlock by turning the tables, as it were: he assumed that it is not the heavens which revolve while we the observers stand still, but that we the observers revolve while the heavens stand still. In a similar way, Kant says, the problem of scientific knowledge is to be solved — the problem how an exact science, such as Newtonian theory, is possible, and how it could ever have been found. We must give up the view that we are passive observers, waiting for nature to impress its regularity upon us. Instead we must adopt the view that in digesting our sense-data we actively impress the order and the laws of our intellect upon them. Our cosmos bears the imprint of our minds. - C&R, Chap 6 From Kant the cosmologist, the philosopher of knowledge and of science, I now turn to Kant the moralist. I do not know whether it has been noticed before that the fundamental idea of Kant's ethics amounts to another Copernican Revolution, analogous in every respect to the one I have described. For Kant makes man the lawgiver of morality just as he makes him the lawgiver of nature. And in doing so he gives back to man his central place both in his moral and in his physical universe. Kant humanized ethics, as he had humanized science. ... Kant's Copernican Revolution in the field of ethics is contained in his doctrine of autonomy—the doctrine that we cannot accept the command of an authority, however exalted, as the ultimate basis of ethics. For whenever we are faced with a command by an authority, it is our responsibility to judge whether this command is moral or immoral. The authority may have power to enforce its commands, and we may be powerless to resist. But unless we are physically prevented from choosing the responsibility remains ours. It is our decision whether to obey a command, whether to accept authority. - C&R, Chap 6 Stepping back further to get a still more distant view of Kant's historical role, we may compare him with Socrates. Both were accused of perverting the state religion, and of corrupting the minds of the young. Both denied the charge; and both stood up for freedom of thought. Freedom meant more to them than absence of constraint; it was for both a way of life. ... To this Socratic idea of self-sufficiency, which forms part of our western heritage, Kant has given a new meaning in the fields of both knowledge and morals. And he has added to it further the idea of a community of free men—of all men. For he has shown that every man is free; not because he is born free, but because he is born with the burden of responsibility for free decision. - C&R, Chap 6 Socials Follow us on Twitter at @IncrementsPod, @BennyChugg, @VadenMasrani Come join our discord server!

This week, Zach Davis is joined by New York Times columnist and author Ross Douthat to talk about his new book, Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious.Ross has spent his career bridging worlds—explaining faith and conservatism to a largely secular audience while also translating secular ideas back to religious readers. In this conversation, he makes a compelling case for why belief isn't just a leap into the unknown, but a rational and maybe even necessary response to the world as we actually experience it.Zach and Ross also explore some of the major barriers that keep modern, intellectually serious people from embracing faith—things like the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions, which many see as having displaced humanity from the center of the universe. But Ross challenges these assumptions, showing how science, rather than disproving faith, could actually deepen the mystery of our existence in a way that makes belief more compelling than ever. And he points out something undeniable–– that even as religious affiliation in the West declines, people across all backgrounds continue to report profound, life-altering encounters with the divine. Ross suggests that these experiences, far from being irrational, may be one of the strongest indicators that something real is at work in the universe.This conversation was a fascinating mix of theology, philosophy, and cultural analysis, and we think Ross offers an important and thought-provoking perspective—one that invites both skeptics and believers to take faith seriously.And with that, let's jump into our conversation with Ross Douthat.

The philosophical issues at the heart of the notorious condemnation of Galileo and Copernican astronomy.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (11/08/24), we pick up where we ended on our previous broadcast and present more of an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank is talking with Dr. Jay Richards, co-author of the 20th Anniversary Updated and Revised edition of The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed for Discovery. Hank and Dr. Richards discuss the importance of telescopes, Olbers' paradox—a paradox that asks why the night sky is dark if the universe is full of stars, how our universe is fine-tuned for life, how the world has been set up for us to be able to understand it, if our size in relation to the universe matters, the myth of the Copernican principle, and the importance of reading.

Mark Gober returns to InnerVerse to discuss his newest book, An End to the Upside Down Cosmos. With his usual impeccable and comprehensive research style, Gober's 7th book is the best and most challenging yet--rethinking the foundational theories of modern physics, and most importantly, the nature of our world itself. We discuss how cosmology fits in to the scientific Tower of Babel, tackle the lack of images of Earth from alleged outer space, question space agency frauds and the moon landing hoax, dissect the problems with dark matter, dark energy, gravity, special relativity, and more… In the Plus+ Extension you'll learn about the heliocentrism and the Copernican principle, that "the science" can't stand the idea that Earth is special, do-it-your-self observations that refute the globe hypothesis, magnetic declination and other southern hemisphere anomalies, all while peppering in philosophical considerations about the deceptive nature of evil, the nature of consciousness, and geocentric astrology.

Freddie deBoer has a post on what he calls “the temporal Copernican principle.” He argues we shouldn't expect a singularity, apocalypse, or any other crazy event in our lifetimes. Discussing celebrity transhumanist Yuval Harari, he writes: What I want to say to people like Yuval Harari is this. The modern human species is about 250,000 years old, give or take 50,000 years depending on who you ask. Let's hope that it keeps going for awhile - we'll be conservative and say 50,000 more years of human life. So let's just throw out 300,000 years as the span of human existence, even though it could easily be 500,000 or a million or more. Harari's lifespan, if he's lucky, will probably top out at about 100 years. So: what are the odds that Harari's lifespan overlaps with the most important period in human history, as he believes, given those numbers? That it overlaps with a particularly important period of human history at all? Even if we take the conservative estimate for the length of human existence of 300,000 years, that means Harari's likely lifespan is only about .33% of the entirety of human existence. Isn't assuming that this .33% is somehow particularly special a very bad assumption, just from the basis of probability? And shouldn't we be even more skeptical given that our basic psychology gives us every reason to overestimate the importance of our own time? (I think there might be a math error here - 100 years out of 300,000 is 0.033%, not 0.33% - but this isn't my main objection.) He then condemns a wide range of people, including me, for failing to understand this: Some people who routinely violate the Temporal Copernican Principle include Harari, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Sam Altman, Francis Fukuyama, Elon Musk, Clay Shirky, Tyler Cowen, Matt Yglesias, Tom Friedman, Scott Alexander, every tech company CEO, Ray Kurzweil, Robin Hanson, and many many more. I think they should ask themselves how much of their understanding of the future ultimately stems from a deep-seated need to believe that their times are important because they think they themselves are important, or want to be. I deny misunderstanding this. Freddie is wrong. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/contra-deboer-on-temporal-copernicanism 

In this episode, Justin and Matt speak with anthropologists Adam Louis-Klein and Justin Shaffner about their collaborative project, “The Sky-Earth System: A Manifesto for Learning to See and Think as a Generic Ancient”. Adam Louis-Klein is a musician, philosopher and anthropologist from Seattle and New York. He studied Philosophy at Yale College (B.A) and at the New School for Social Research (M.A), Anthropology (M.A) at the University of Chicago, and is now a PHD student in the Anthropology department at McGill University. https://www.adamlouisklein.com/ Justin Shaffner: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=n4VX4kYAAAAJ&hl=en Read the Text: https://www.academia.edu/105365384/The_Sky_Earth_System_A_Manifesto_for_Learning_to_See_and_Think_as_a_Generic_Ancient Abstract: The Sky is falling and there are too few who recognize the importance of holding it up. We contend that many of the pressing problems of our times, including climate catastrophe and global inequality, are direct consequences of the cosmology of the Moderns. We argue that anthropology as a discipline should think with ordinary people everywhere and with the Universe at once. We propose the Sky-Earth System as a cosmology in which to think and live as Ancients, to suspend the impersonal World of the Moderns. The Sky-Earth System is a metaframe that replaces the Nature/Culture schema of the Moderns and puts the Human back at the Center of the Universe, ending the Copernican era as seen from within the history of the Moderns. It allows us to think generically, meaning to think with everyone anywhere and anywhen. We think-with revival movements of the Ancients that are taking place everywhere across the Sky-Earth System, practices of symmetric anthropology in the Upper Rio Negro of the Amazon, in the city of Manaus and in Brazil, the Village-as-University in Melanesia and the Boazi revival, Afro-Centric, Polytheist, Psychedelic, and other movements occurring in North America and elsewhere at the ends of the World.

Steve's guest this week is Dirk Ehnts, a lecturer and authorwho specializes in modern monetary theory (MMT). They discuss Dirk's new book,"A Simple Guide to the Monetary System," which aims to simplify theoften complex concepts of MMT. They discuss the significance of the Copernican turn to MMT,which refers to the shift in perspective that occurred during the COVID-19pandemic. Dirk explains that the massive increase in government spending andthe lack of inflationary effects challenged conventional economic theories thathad previously dismissed MMT. Dirk explains the theory behind inflation targeting and howit has failed to deliver on its promises of price stability and fullemployment. He also highlights the role of trade policy and income inequalityin shaping economic outcomes, pointing out that these factors are oftenoverlooked in favor of focusing solely on interest rates and inflation.The conversation shifts to the rise of the BRICScountries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and the geopoliticalbattles that have influenced international trade. They discuss the idea oflosing faith in the US dollar as the primary world reserve currency and thepotential impact on global trade. Dirk emphasizes that the public needs to understand howmoney and resources interact in order to find solutions to problems likeclimate change. He believes that as more people become aware of MMT and itspotential policies, there will be a demand for change.Dirk Ehnts is a German heterodox economist.He is one of the leading proponents of Modern Monetary Theory in Europe. Ehntsis a member of the standing field committee History of Economic Thought of theGerman economists association. Every summer since 2016 Ehnts has held a courseon MMT at the Summer School of Maastricht University. In February 2019, heorganized the 1st European MMT Conference. He is also a lecturer at the MMTsummer school at the University of Poznan in Poland.

Simon Shack is an amateur astronomer, independent researcher, and author. He is the modern champion of an old idea, last held in Tycho Brahe's time, that the sun is not at the center of the solar system. At first blush, this sounds preposterous, for we have hundreds of years of data that supports the heliocentric Copernican model. But the more you listen, the more your mind melts, because not only does the data fit… it seems to fit better than the conventional model in multiple cases. We spend the conversation unpacking Simon's model, figuring out what makes it run, the assumptions that make sense, and the loose threads that still need to be woven in. It is a WILD ride, and a truly great exploration of what it means when the same set of observations can produce a radically different interpretation. To follow along visually, check out https://www.tychos.space/ where you can find a copy of Simon's book and the Tychosium, a stellarium-type simulator built to show the inner workings of the model.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Founder and CEO of Hypernomics, Doug Howarth.Doug Howarth delved into the world of Hypernomics, revolutionizing how markets are understood and interacted with. He explained Hypernomics as the study of markets through a multidimensional lens. Hypernomics offers a fresh perspective on pricing strategies, emphasizing the importance of aligning prices with market perceptions and dynamics rather than relying solely on personal opinions. This approach is particularly relevant for consultancy services, where understanding the client's value perception is crucial.Doug's insights extend to B2B audiences, highlighting Hypernomics' role in revenue generation and market positioning. By grasping market dynamics, businesses can optimize their product offerings and pricing strategies to meet demand better.Key Points from the Episode:Explanation of the concept of Hypernomics Anecdote about observing an ant leading to the discovery of surveillance in ants and its relation to HypernomicsApplication of Hypernomics in real estate, restaurants, cars, airplanes, and software marketsExample of applying Hypernomics to help a restaurant increase revenue through seating arrangement analysisChallenge to the traditional supply and demand model Application of Hypernomics to the stock market Implications of Hypernomics for pricing strategiesBroader applications of HypernomicsPractical applications of Hypernomics, including consulting services for companies such as NASA, Lockheed Martin, and Virgin GalacticAbout Doug Howarth:Doug Howarth is an innovative figure in economics, having pioneered the concept of Hypernomics, also known as Multidimensional Economics (ME). He founded Hypernomics Inc. to advance this discipline, developing groundbreaking tools such as the MEE4DTM software—the world's first 4D analytics platform, for which he holds a US patent of 10,402,838. His professional experience includes significant roles like the F-117A Manufacturing Program Manager at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works and leadership in their Parametric Analysis Group. Doug has collaborated with significant aerospace and technology firms such as NASA, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, Northrop Grumman, and Virgin Galactic.An accomplished academic and researcher, Doug has authored 14 peer-reviewed papers published through respected institutions across four continents, including the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), International Cost Estimating Analysts Association (ICEAA), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He has a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Washington State University. About Hypernomics:Hypernomics is an innovative economic field developed around the concept of multidimensional market analysis. It fundamentally challenges traditional economic theories like the Law of Supply and Demand. It proposes the Law of Value and Demand, suggesting that markets operate within four or more mathematical dimensions rather than merely responding to physical or observable factors. This revolutionary perspective offers a new way of understanding how market dynamics form and fluctuate, much like the shift from Ptolemaic to Copernican cosmology transformed the understanding of the cosmos.The practical applications of Hypernomics are vast, from assessing the viability of new products in the market to determining appropriate pricing strategies against known market competition. Hypernomics allows businesses to discover sustainable market spaces and predict consumer behavior more accurately. The field is supported by patented analytical software and backed by...

Today I'm going to tell you a story about my total solar eclipse experience and it's aftermath, and give you an update on my foot reconstruction surgery and my plans to return to the road and assume, once again, the role of “Steve Runner”. A Total Eclipse of the Sun is a spectacular convergence of Copernican alignment that demonstrates the power of science and our being present in a beautiful universe.

Where is the much vaunted line between genius and madness? At a glance, it seems like they could be two sides of the same coin. Is the opposite of genius simply sheer stupidity? Is there a difference between the two or are they outputs of the same phenomenon? And where might there be some overlap? In this week's episode we discuss genius and madness. We discuss mental health conditions, historical figures and concepts that were considered quackery or fraudulent during their time, neurodiversity, Copernican heliocentrism, the germ theory of disease, AlphaGo and correlations between personality traits and levels of intelligence. Finally, we share examples of where we felt we were in the presence of genius.

Series: Guard the TreasureTitle: 5 Keys to Success in Ministry (& Life)Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:11-16 NIV Bottom line: “Watch your life and doctrine closely.” Persevering in them will lead to success in ministry (and in life).Alt. Bottom Line: We succeed in ministry through Christlike character and competency.Competencies that include:The WordGifted nessDiligence, andBalanceINTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDINTRODUCTIONIllustration or storyLife-Changing Words by Nicky GumbelMy father wanted to go to Russia before he died. We went there on holiday as a family. At that time Bibles were strictly illegal there. I took with me some Russian Bibles. While I was there I went to churches and looked for people who seemed to be genuine Christians. (Church meetings were often infiltrated by the KGB.)On one occasion, I followed a man down the street after a service. I went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. There was nobody about. I took out one of my Bibles and handed it to him. For a moment, he had an expression of utmost disbelief. Then he took from his pocket a New Testament, which was probably 100 years old. The pages were so threadbare they were virtually transparent. When he realised that he had received a whole Bible, he was elated. He didn't speak any English and I didn't speak any Russian. But we hugged each other and he started to run up and down the street jumping for joy.CONTEXTTimothy seems to be where he doesn't really want to be right now.Church didn't call him.Elder leaders don't think he's seasoned enough.And yet Paul sends him to “Guard the treasure” for the sake of the Church's mission.In ministry and in life, we guard the treasure of the gospel (truth and godliness) successfully by growing in Christlike character and the following competencies:The wordGiftedness DiligenceBalanceBut it all starts with and is built on character. Rick Warren showed me this using his famous baseball diamond illustration. First base is fellowship (knowing Christ), second base is discipleship (growing in Christ) which is where character formation begins, third base is ministry (serving as the hands and feet of Christ), and home is mission (Sharing Christ). You'll notice that ministry or competency (third base) is built on the foundation of second base (character) which is built on knowing God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.Yeah, it all starts with Christlike character which is a fruit of the Spirit of God that we receive at salvation. SERMON OUTLINE (based on Hughes' outline):Successful Ministry requires us to grow in Christlike character and competency—Becoming and Doing like Christ:I. Successful ministry assumes that you are eating and exercising spiritually. A. Diet—word of God (1 Tim 4:78-)B. Exercise—training to remain/abide in Christ (cf. John 15:1-5)C. Note that in v. 11 Paul urges Timothy to “Command and teach these things.”II. Successful ministry happens through personal godliness/Christlike character. (V. 12) Note Paul's 5-fold godliness description:A. Through speechB. Through conductC. Through loveD. Through faithE. Through purity—John goes on to describe the completed church in heaven – their *purity* and their *power*. The two are connected. As Pastor Rick Warren has tweeted, ‘In ministry, *private purity* is the source of *public power*.'F. Note that he starts with the observable and moves to the inner life. G. Paul seems to understand that when we are challenged in our leadership our first impulse/response is to speak when we should listen and act when we should be still.III. Successful ministry happens through the Word (v. 13)A. Public reading of scripture“When a church ceases to be in touch with another world, she is no longer in touch with this one.” -someone, heard from J Vernon McGeeB. Preaching—exhortation to obey, imitate, or apply the Word to your lifeC. Teaching—explanation and doctrinal instruction More than devotional thoughtsMore like boundaries, wisdom and truths to base your faith on when you're tempted to doubt e.g. What is God like?IV. Successful ministry happens through personal giftedness. (V. 14)A. Not talking about talents or abilities here, though they are relevant. B. Talking about spiritual gifting that comes with the Holy Spirit when we are born again. When we are spiritually born, we get birthday gifts:New life/new creation or spiritual birthday where we are immersed (baptized) by the HSPresence of the Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing he'll finish what he's startedFruit of the Spirit (builds character)Gift(s) of the Spirit (points to our ministry or spiritual strengths)Everyone has at least oneNo one has them allSee Romans 12, 1 Cor 12, and Eph 4:11-12 for a partial list of spiritual giftsV. Successful ministry happens through diligence. (v. 15)A. DietB. Train hard. Hard work. VI. Successful ministry happens through balance. (V. 16)A. Note the balance in this verse. “Godly people are God-fearing people. They have experienced the Copernican revolution of Christian conversion from self-centeredness to God-centeredness..” -John StottLife (how you live) andDoctrine (what you believe) What you believe determines how you live and How you live demonstrates what you (really) believeI.e. Faith matters in life—not just in the afterlife.B. Note how this verse summarizes successful ministry: “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”“Yourself” (character)“Teaching” (word & gifting)“Persevere in them” (diligence)Balance seen in summary formC. Find Your Balance by Nicky GumbelMy body is so inflexible. I was told once by a professional fitness trainer, who happened to notice the way I was walking, that I was one of the worst cases of stiffness he had ever come across. I am now trying to do more stretching! I had considered myself reasonably fit (for my age!), as a result of still playing squash and biking everywhere. But in other ways, I realised I am not. Physical fitness is a balance of strength, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Some people are exceptionally strong but cannot even run to catch a bus. Others are aerobically very fit (they could run a marathon), but are not very strong. However, spiritual fitness is far more important than physical fitness. It also involves balancing a number of areas of your life.CONCLUSIONSt. Patrick's Day. It's always been--and never been--a holiday for me. It hasn't been a holiday for me because I don't partake in the typical Irish revelry. No interest there. It has been a holiday for me in that I tend to wear green that day and engage in the silly banter around that tradition. But I've never really taken the holiday marking the death of St. Patrick seriously. But that's changing.The more I learn about this disciple-making saint, the more I like him. Like Joseph, son of Jacob, he was sold into slavery--this time to the Irish barbarians. After six years of servitude, he escaped eventually making it back to his British homeland. It's at age 48--my age this year--that he receives a "Macedonian call," similar to Paul in Acts, to go share the Gospel with the Irish. He gathers a team and does just that for the next thirty years. As a result, the Irish move from a pagan culture to a Christian one.He used methods that were controversial, to say the least, in the church in that day. He didn't focus on converts but on making disciple-makers. He emphasized holy-living while planting 200 churches. He used methods that focused on implanting Christ into the Irish culture instead of paving a Romanized Christ overtop of that culture. A movement was born, as a result.I pray that we'll see that as our missional mandate--to take Christ to our culture in a way that results in a movement that redeems that culture instead of destroying it. What a legacy St. Patrick has. I hope I leave a legacy like his. Bottom line: “Watch your life and doctrine closely.” Persevering in them will lead to success in ministry (and in life).PrayNOTESLet's ask some summary questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. 5 keys to success in ministry (and life)Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. So that they'll examine their life Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. Make adjustments and surrender to his way.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. So they'll stay true to Christ and carry out his mission.Q. How can they begin to do this?A. Prayerfully examine their life and obey the word.OUTLINESOutline Bible (Willmington)SECTION OUTLINE FOUR (1 TIMOTHY 4)Paul contrasts two kinds of shepherds.1.

First, a few notes from yesterday's podcast episode.1. The author of Power and Petroleum died shortly after I reviewed her back cover copy. Apparently her book was never published.2. I write promo copy for all authors, no matter where they are on the political spectrum. My job is to write great copy for any author who hires me to copywrite for them.Here's my copywriting on environmental policy and promotion:If you want people to be worried about global warming, don't talk about global warming.Too big. Too hard to grasp. Too hard to figure out how to help.Tell the story of one lone polar bear cub who is losing its home as it melts around him.We will respond to that.3. I have no problem with people speaking Spanish. For the past 18 years, I've lived in two bilingual states: New Mexico and now Arizona. I interact with Spanish speakers all the time. I studied Spanish in college. It's a beautiful language. But in the context of the sales copy for the book, I did essentially denigrate Spanish. I apologize for that.A Novel of Ancient RomeThis novel had a front cover that looked much more like a nonfiction academic title than a novel. It needed fixing.The back cover read: “A thought-provoking story that is truly original — Copernican in nature. The premise meshes well with historical evidence, which lends startling merit to a sequence of events exquisitely revealed in this gripping novel. The theory proposed will inspire intriguing debate among readers, historical scholars, and theologians for decades to come.” That's it.There's nothing in the back cover copy to draw the reader into the drama of the novel. Is the novel truly gripping just because the back cover says so? The cover also says other things — none of which indicates the novel is gripping. The rest of the copy says that the book is a theory, an academic think piece. Nothing wrong with an academic think piece, but think pieces are not novels. Not ever.My guess — and it is only a guess based on the jacket — is that this book has a great story to tell, but where is it? Stories involve people, not ideas. Focus first on people. Then focus on the plot. Only then can you move on to tell stories about those people struggling with ideas or conflicts.Besides better descriptive copy, the back cover needed a few testimonials or reviews. The copy was too sparse to sell the book to most readers.Website: https://www.BookMarketingBestsellers.comWebsite: https://www.BookAuthorAuthority.comBook Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Nov 5th    Publish Date: Nov 3rd    Hennsler: 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Sunday, November 5th and happy 63rd birthday to Brian Adams. ***BRIAN ADAMS – RUN TO YOU*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties Margaritaville at Lanier Islands Announces Multi-Million Dollar Enhancements as it Rebrands Water Park Two New York Men, One Stone Mountain Resident Named As Suspects In Lowes Shoplifting Case How the Democrats are giving the country what it doesn't want — a Trump-Biden rematch   Plus, my conversation with Lawrenceville Mayor David Stills. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY – STORY 1: Margaritaville at Lanier Islands Announces Multi-Million Dollar Enhancements Margaritaville at Lanier Islands in Georgia is planning multi-million-dollar enhancements, including the rebranding of its Water Park to Fins Up Water Park. The new features, set to be completed in spring 2024, include four new waterslide coasters: Apocalypso, Mango Maina, Dreamsicle Dive, and Serpentine Story. Premium cabanas, food and beverage options, an expanded Wibit Aquatic Adventure water playground, and increased retail offerings are also part of the upgrade. The park will have a total of 15 waterslides, including Apocalypso, the largest waterslide coaster in Georgia. Margaritaville at Lanier Islands is also introducing the Winter Golden Fin Pass sale for its License to Chill Snow Island attraction. STORY 2: Lowes Shoplifting Case Gwinnett County police have identified three suspects in a theft case but are seeking assistance in locating them. The suspects, identified as Kenneth Williams Jr., Rogelio Anastasio Thompson, and Tyquan R Harden, are accused of stealing over $4,000 worth of merchandise from a Lowes store in unincorporated Lilburn in September. The theft involved grabbing a garbage bin and filling it with items, including breakers, before leaving the store without paying. Williams is believed to have acted as the getaway driver. Their current whereabouts are unknown. Authorities are encouraging anyone with information to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers, offering a cash reward for tips leading to an arrest and indictment.   STORY 3: How the Democrats are giving the country what it doesn't want — a Trump-Biden rematchAccording to recent reports, Joe Biden's advisers and prominent Democrats have been debating whether he should publicly pledge to serve only one term as president. However, Biden himself has denied having discussed making such a pledge. This debate arose in late 2019, when Biden was struggling in the Democratic primary and needed to differentiate himself from his younger rivals. Despite not making a one-term pledge, Biden went on to win the presidency in 2020. While there is concern within the Democratic Party about Biden's age and the need for new leadership, he remains the favorite in the race. However, his approval numbers have dropped, and there are growing frustrations among his supporters within the party. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back Break 2: MOG – TOM WAGES OBITS – DTL – STORY 4: Science could finally discover aliens. What does that mean? The questions of whether we are alone in the universe and what the discovery of alien life would mean have intrigued humanity for centuries. Recent scientific developments, including the study of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and the burgeoning field of astrobiology, have brought us closer to answering these questions. While UAP observations may provide some insights, the evidence for extraterrestrial life remains limited. On the other hand, astrobiology has identified many exoplanets with the potential for hosting life, and advanced telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope can search for biosignatures or technosignatures. The discovery of any form of extraterrestrial life would be a groundbreaking moment in human history, challenging our understanding of life's creative potential and offering hope for long-lived, sustainable civilizations. Just as the Copernican revolution reshaped our worldview, the search for alien life promises to change everything we know about ourselves and our place in the universe. STORY 5: New super cream can heal skin injuries from sunburn and chemical burns Researchers in the United States have developed a synthetic melanin cream that can protect and heal damaged skin. The cream, referred to as "super melanin," mimics the natural melanin in human skin and can be used to repair sunburn and chemical burns. It scavenges free radicals that can damage skin and offers regenerative properties. The cream has potential applications in skincare, including protection from the sun and skin repair. It could also be used to aid cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy and other medical applications. The synthetic melanin is non-toxic, biocompatible, and has shown promise in studies. We'll be back in a moment Break 3: Jackson EMC – ESOG – Ingles 3  STORY 6: MAYOR STILL And here is my conversation with Lawrenceville Mayor Stills STORY 7:   We'll have final thoughts after this.

SpaceWatch.Global is pleased to present: The Space Café Podcast #77: Matt Russo, Astrophysicist and Sound Wizard, the Surprising Appeal of Sounds from Space. Episode 077 features a special guest: Dr. Matt RussoIn this fascinating episode of the Space Cafe Podcast, host Markus Mooslechner is joined by Dr. Matt Russo, an astrophysicist, and musician, to discuss the connection between space and music. They delve into Dr. Russo's journey from a musician to an astrophysicist, the sound of gravitational waves, and the idea of life beyond Earth. The conversation also covers the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations and the role of music in understanding the universe.Memorable Quotes:"I think the connections between science and music are really just the human mind wanting to understand and perceive the universe." – Dr. Matt Russo"Gravitational waves are very similar to sound waves, but they're not waves of pressure, they're waves of stretching and squeezing space itself." – Dr. Matt Russo "Most astronomers that I've talked to, at least including myself, think it'd be absurd if we were alone." – Dr. Matt RussoShareable Bites:System Sounds, a project by Dr. Matt Russo, translates data from the universe into music to make astronomy more accessible and engaging for people.The discovery of gravitational waves opened up a new way to explore the universe by observing how these waves stretch and squeeze space itself.Copernican principles teach us that we are not in a special place or time in the universe, suggesting that life beyond Earth is likely, given the vastness of space and the number of planets discovered.Sources and Links:Dr. Matt Russo's project, System Sounds: https://www.system-sounds.com/LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory): https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/Book: "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt: https://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Religion/dp/0307455777Song: "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix: https://open.spotify.com/track/3q8HGZpIuOjgI9UI2Q1iRyThe Space Cafe Podcast brings our signature brand of engaging and relevant content from across the global space economy to you via an exciting new format.

It's not too long ago that the Sun and Universe revolved around the Earth. That was the thinking until science and the arts began to see that the data just didn't line up. Valerie reveals to us how knowledge gained in astronomy and cosmology influenced art and architecture. WATCH this episode, if you can. Having studied at the Universities of Bristol, Manchester and the Witwatersrand (South Africa), Dr Valerie Shrimplin has lectured extensively on Byzantine, Medieval and Renaissance Art and Architecture – and on sixteenth-century history as well. In particular, she has published quite widely on the influence of astronomy and cosmology on art (including her PhD on the influence of Copernican heliocentricity on Michelangelo's Sistine Last Judgment). 

The Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo) is a 1632 Italian-language book by Galileo Galilei comparing the Copernican system with the traditional Ptolemaic system. It was translated into Latin as Systema cosmicum (English: Cosmic System) in 1635 by Matthias Bernegger. The book was dedicated to Galileo's patron, Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who received the first printed copy on February 22, 1632. Download your copy of Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems in auidiobook form here https://BrianKeating.com/dialogue Background In the Copernican system, the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, while in the Ptolemaic system, everything in the Universe circles around the Earth. The Dialogue was published in Florence under a formal license from the Inquisition. In 1633, Galileo was found to be "vehemently suspect of heresy" based on the book, which was then placed on the Index of Forbidden Books, from which it was not removed until 1835 (after the theories it discussed had been permitted in print in 1822). In an action that was not announced at the time, the publication of anything else he had written or ever might write was also banned in Catholic countries. Overview While writing the book, Galileo referred to it as his Dialogue on the Tides, and when the manuscript went to the Inquisition for approval, the title was Dialogue on the Ebb and Flow of the Sea. He was ordered to remove all mention of tides from the title and to change the preface because granting approval to such a title would look like approval of his theory of the tides using the motion of the Earth as proof. As a result, the formal title on the title page is Dialogue, which is followed by Galileo's name, academic posts, and followed by a long subtitle. The name by which the work is now known was extracted by the printer from the description on the title page when permission was given to reprint it with an approved preface by a Catholic theologian in 1744. This must be kept in mind when discussing Galileo's motives for writing the book. Although the book is presented formally as a consideration of both systems (as it needed to be in order to be published at all), there is no question that the Copernican side gets the better of the argument. Structure The book is presented as a series of discussions, over a span of four days, among two philosophers and a layman: Salviati argues for the Copernican position and presents some of Galileo's views directly, calling him the "Academician" in honor of Galileo's membership in the Accademia dei Lincei. He is named after Galileo's friend Filippo Salviati (1582–1614). Sagredo is an intelligent layman who is initially neutral. He is named after Galileo's friend Giovanni Francesco Sagredo (1571–1620). Simplicio, a dedicated follower of Ptolemy and Aristotle, presents the traditional views and the arguments against the Copernican position. He is supposedly named after Simplicius of Cilicia, a sixth-century commentator on Aristotle, but it was suspected the name was a double entendre, as the Italian for "simple" (as in "simple minded") is "semplice".Simplicio is modeled on two contemporary conservative philosophers, Lodovico delle Colombe (1565–1616?), Galileo's opponent, and Cesare Cremonini (1550–1631), a Paduan colleague who had refused to look through the telescope. Colombe was the leader of a group of Florentine opponents of Galileo's, which some of the latter's friends referred to as "the pigeon league".

How do we connect with ourselves?   Today, I talk with Ari Wallach, a futurist and social systems strategist. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Longpath Labs, an initiative focused on bringing long-term thinking and coordinated behavior to the individual, organizational, and societal realms in order to ensure humanity flourishes on an ecologically-thriving planet Earth for centuries to come. Ari is the author of “Longpath: Becoming the Great Ancestors Our Future Needs.”   Listen in to hear how Ari defines longpath, how we should be examining our own futures, and more.   Topics We Discuss:   [2:19] Longpath is a verb in the sense that it's an applied mindset. Most people think of a futurist as someone who is projecting into the future; Ari isn't that type of futurist, he doesn't predict. Longpath is a way of navigating those intertidal moments, those moments that are chaotic and in flux.    [11:22] Using the word “surviving” automatically trips the limbic system, and in that moment we become very short-term thinkers. When we become more fear-based in our approach, we become laser-focused on what's in front of us. But we need to be thinking of the far future in these moments of chaos.    [21:32] First and foremost, figure out who you are. How did you get to this point? Ari talks about desired futures versus examined-desired futures. No one is born thinking they should be a doctor or race car driver. A lot of these pathways are culturally forced onto people. Before you can start to think about what future you want to live in, you have to step back and examine what got you thinking that way in the first place.   [32:09] When we had the Copernican revolution, it led us to more human freedom and enlightened thinking, but we eradicated the vibrational, mystical realm. We said if you can measure it, great; if you can't, it's terrible. In this intertidal moment we're realizing we can have both.   [37:52] Think of ourselves less in a 100-yard race and more in a marathon in which we're holding the baton for the next generation. We need to T-up the next generation so they're that much higher up on the ladder when it comes to flourishing. This will have us thinking less as individuals and tie us to a more extensive timeframe.   [39:39] How you say goodbye to your children in the morning, how you treat your partner, your colleagues, the person who checks your badge- those things matter not just in the moment. How you interact with them changes them and how they interact with other people.   [40:09] What does it mean for an emotion to go viral? An emotion like compassion, empathy, awe, or hope? If you're embedding that in your everyday small interactions with other people and yourself, that could go viral. By doing that, we can change the soil from which we build solutions in order to build better tomorrows. [42:49] As a culture we lack death awareness. Ari and Amy discuss how our culture is death-averse and the importance of engaging in activities that acknowledge our death so we can better prepare ourselves and future generations for what the world should look like. All of culture is our way of dealing with impermanence. We are the only species that becomes aware of our death, and it paralyzes us.     [47:14] How Ari recommends focusing on life-affirming experiences that make the world a better place.     [49:14] Death is in the zeitgeist right now due to COVID-19 and people are searching to understand the moment we are in and how they can find more meaning and purpose in their own life.     [50:30] Understanding the questions we are asking ourselves about how to be on the Longpath. Ari discusses how the third paragraph of the obituary is very important to thinking about how we live our life. Ari shares some of the biggest questions we should actually be asking ourselves.   FOLLOW ARI WALLACH:   Find Ari and the programs he offers on his website or on Instagram.   His new book, “Longpath: Becoming the Great Ancestors Our Future Needs” is available on Amazon.       Life, Death and the Space Between is brought to you by: Dr. Amy Robbins | Host, Executive Producer PJ Duke | Executive Producer 2 Market Media | Audio & Video Editing Mara Stallins | Outreach & Social Media Strategy Claire | Clairperk.com | Podcast Cover Design

On Thursday October 11th, 2018 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review the classic study on Renaissance Magick by Dame Frances Yates (1899 - 1981), "Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition." (1964) This is a book that should be the cornerstone of any Hermetic student's library. Although the Italian philosopher and magician Giordano Bruno (1548 - 1600) is the main figure on which Yates centers her work, the book is in fact a broad study of Renaissance Hermetic Magick evolving from its Italian origins in the late Middle Ages and on through to Bruno's exposition of its post Copernican version. Hermetic Humanists accepted Copernicus but the Church refused to abandon the geocentric universe. Bruno, a Dominican monk was burned at the stake. Many considered him a Scientific martyr, but Yates contends that his heresies were Hermetic as well as scientific. So if you would like to explore the life and beliefs of Giordano Bruno, join us for a Hermetic Renaissance Faire.

Peter Vermeulen, Ph.D., doesn't feel there's much value in ‘defining' people on the #autism #spectrum by describing their difficulties around social interaction, communication, patterns of behavior, etc., etc. - because he sees all those elements as #consequences of having brains that work in #autistic ways. Conversely, he's written that autism can only be defined in terms of perception and cognition…and only in the context of how an autistic brain experiences the world. JUST THAT, RIGHT THERE opens doors for more empathetic and respectful interactions with our autistic children, family members, students and neighbors. Peter is not so fond of the term 'neurotypical.' See if you agree with his reasoning... (I did. Surprised?)

The computer as a metaphor for the brain, with its input, processing and output, has been very useful in the past, but seems to be incorrect in the light of recent discoveries in brain science. A Copernican revolution is going on in neuroscience and it will change our ideas about the brain significantly. The brain is not working like a traditional computer: the brain is guessing more than it is computing. The brain does not work in a stimulus-response way. The brain predicts the world and it does so in a very context sensitive way. This is known as the predictive coding account of human information processing. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nini-white/message

Copernican is an adjective that means very important or paradigm-shifting. Nicolas Copernicus was a 15th century astronomer who first observed that the planets revolved around the sun. Because this discovery was so significant, we use the word Copernican to describe highly important discoveries or innovations. For example: My great grandfather made key discoveries about marine animals off the coast of Africa. Those discoveries aren't talked about a great deal among the general public, but for those in his field, they were Copernican. They truly changed everything about what we know about marine animals.

Simon Shack, Author of The Tychos Geoaxial Binary System, and Patrik Holmqvist designer and programmer of the Tychosium Geo Heliocentric Model Simulation, are here to discuss their triumphant work in avenging the wrongful death and obfuscation of Tycho Brahe and his life's work, we discussed the astronomical physics of the Tychos Model, the structure of the Geo Heliocentric model. They elaborated on the fact that Earth is spinning very slowly at the center of our solar system and illustrated how all astronomical observations become more accurate when understood through this earth centric perspective. They explained how The Moon and Mars play key roles in the magnetic structure of our suns orbit around the Earth and how Mercury and Venus are both Moons of the Sun, Simon and Patrik explained how NASA has lied to us and have obfuscated actual observation in favor of the inaccurate Copernican model, They offer this as an alternative to the flawed Heliocentric model, Our earth is not spinning a million miles an hour around the sun and this is evident to anyone who spends enough time observing the stars and their consistent relation to the earth.

What kind of knowledge does science give us? Is it the "God's-eye view" of things—a third-person, objective understanding of reality's bedrock? Owen Barfield, one of the less well-known Inklings, argued powerfully that it is not. Heeding Barfield's words can help us break free of the false religion that holds scientific truth up as the only real knowledge and makes science into a kind of new religion. In this episode of Young Heretics, Spencer Klavan introduces Barfield and embarks on a journey through quantum physics, Copernican cosmology, and the Book of Genesis. -- Public Goods is the one stop shop for sustainable, high quality everyday essentials made from clean ingredients.

“Criticism of religion involves criticism of the validity, concept, or ideas of religion.[1] Historical records of criticism of religion go back to at least 5th century BCE in ancient Greece, in Athens specifically, with Diagoras "the Atheist" of Melos. In ancient Rome, an early known example is Lucretius' De rerum natura from the 1st century BCE. Every exclusive religion on Earth (as well as every exclusive world view) that promotes exclusive truth-claims necessarily denigrates the truth-claims of other religions.[2] Thus, some criticisms of religion become criticisms of one or more aspects of a specific religious tradition. Critics of religion in general may view religion as one or more of: outdated, harmful to the individual, harmful to society, an impediment to the progress of science or humanity, a source of immoral acts or customs, a political tool for social control.” I can't celebrate in Heaven knowing that billions of people are residing in hell. I interpret all of these things secularly as a secular person that I am: “Theism, as a way of defining God, is dead. So most theological God-talk is today meaningless. A new way to speak of God must be found. Since God can no longer be conceived in theistic terms, it becomes nonsensical to seek to understand Jesus as the incarnation of the theistic deity. So the Christology of the ages is bankrupt. The Biblical story of the perfect and finished creation from which human beings fell into sin is pre-Darwinian mythology and post-Darwinian nonsense. The virgin birth, understood as literal biology, makes Christ's divinity, as traditionally understood, impossible. The miracle stories of the New Testament can no longer be interpreted in a post-Newtonian world as supernatural events performed by an incarnate deity. The view of the cross as the sacrifice for the sins of the world is a barbarian idea based on primitive concepts of God and must be dismissed. Resurrection is an action of God. Jesus was raised into the meaning of God. It therefore cannot be a physical resuscitation occurring inside human history. The story of the Ascension assumed a three-tiered universe and is therefore not capable of being translated into the concepts of a post-Copernican space age. There is no external, objective, revealed standard written in scripture or on tablets of stone that will govern our ethical behavior for all time. Prayer cannot be a request made to a theistic deity to act in human history in a particular way. The hope for life after death must be separated forever from the behavior control mentality of reward and punishment. The Church must abandon, therefore, its reliance on guilt as a motivator of behavior. All human beings bear God's image and must be respected for what each person is. Therefore, no external description of one's being, whether based on race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation, can properly be used as the basis for either rejection or discrimination.” I'm no religious because I don't need to go outside for what is already inside. We're both expressions and versions of one another and wisdom is within us! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

"Richard Dawkins' Belief Scale Scoring Rubric Strong Theist: I do not question the existence of God, I KNOW he exists. De-facto Theist: I cannot know for certain but I strongly believe in God and I live my life on the assumption that he is there. Weak Theist: I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God. Pure Agnostic: God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable. Weak Atheist: I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be skeptical. De-facto Atheist: I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable and I live my life under the assumption that he is not there. Strong Atheist: I am 100% sure that there is no God. RANKINGS Jesus of Nazareth (John 3:16): “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Mike Hill joins for me for a multi-episode exploration of the masterful book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig. This book may be one of the most undervalued ever written, as it proposes an alternative interpretation of reality that Pirsig calls “The Metaphysics of Quality” (MOQ). According to MOQ, reality is not made up of substance, but rather it is composed of distinct patterns of value. In a Copernican-like revolution of perspective, MOQ sheds new light on age-old debates such as moral relativism, the nature of subject-object duality, good vs. evil, science vs. religion, the importance of freedom, and the primacy of action.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTMike's Website: https://www.mikehill.design/PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 How the Stacked Layers of Static Value Interoperate00:01:38 The Philosopher's Stone and the Value of Archetypes00:05:50 Metaphysics of Quality and the Jungian Archetypes00:09:04 Emergence of the King Archetype and Human Consciousness00:11:44 The Necessity of Physical and Mimetic Exchange to Childhood Development00:14:39 Etymology of King and Kingdom: The Organizing Principle00:16:49 What is Light is the “Shadow” of Dynamic Quality?00:21:21 Why Pathologies are Born in Darkness00:24:14 NYDIG00:25:23 Metaphors We Live By00:28:51 Flatland and the Other Dimensions of Reality00:31:04 Plato's Cave and the Shadows of Metaphysical Principles00:33:36 “The Return” and its Relationship to “Resolution”00:36:35 Linguistic Relativity: Language Shapes Thoughts00:39:16 Categorizing Metaphors00:41:40 “What is Money?” IntroSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?

“The man who is striving to solve a problem defined by existing knowledge and technique is not, however, just looking around. He knows what he wants to achieve, and he designs his instruments and directs his thoughts accordingly. Unanticipated novelty, the new discovery, can emerge only to the extent that his anticipations about nature and his instruments prove wrong. . . . There is no other effective way in which discoveries might be generated.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, Nat and Neil discuss their key takeaways from The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn. While the book is geared towards an academic audience, a lot of interesting ideas were brought up in terms of scientific progress, where Kuhn argues that science is anything but linear.  We cover a wide range of topics including:  Paradigm shifts in science (and other areas, too!) What is normal science, and how does it differ from paradigm-shifting science? Connections between science, religion, and politics The direction and timing of inventions over time How sciencing everything may lead to negative outcomes  And much more.

The phrase "paradigm shift" was coined by Thomas Kuhn and used throughout the book to describe fundamental changes in underlying assumptions.  4:47 Kuhn argues that science doesn't progress linearly, it goes through cycles. There are foundational truths and beliefs that current science is being built on, and when those beliefs crack, we have to establish new ones. It doesn't mean the old ideas were unscientific, but perhaps insufficient or incomplete. 8:01 Neil applies the 'map vs. territory' analogy. Territory is the real natural world, and every theory and paradigm we test out is the map.  11:54 The book talks about normal science as trying to solve a puzzle. When you buy a jigsaw puzzle, you know what the picture looks like and that all pieces will fit together somehow. In the same way, theories of experiments have already predicted what the results of your experiment should be, you're just running the experiment to confirm it. Paradigm shifts are so rare and accidental because most of science is filling in gaps of the current paradigm, as that's also where the funding is. "The scientific enterprise as a whole does from time to time prove useful, open up new territory, display order, and test long-accepted belief. Nevertheless, the individual engaged on a normal research problem is almost never doing any one of these things." 15:20 What are the things in science today that feel like they might be invented to explain the anomalies in the current paradigm? Dark matter and gravity for example. 17:59 There aren't enough debates on science, and it's important to ask the question WHY to better understand the underlying assumptions. If you disagree with one of the provided assumptions, you can challenge it.  22:09 The book explains how science is an ever-evolving process that requires challenging the current assumptions in the paradigm. Asking questions is the scientific thing to do. We can have conflicting paradigms and ideas, and use those to get an accurate view of the world, but obviously nothing is perfect.  25:50 Over time, science has become more politicized. Global warming rebranded into climate change. 30:31 Most issues are never completely binary like they're positioned to be. The abortion debate  for example. There are 2 different paradigms with completely different underlying assumptions: 1) Individual choice is more important than when life begins and 2) Life begins at conception and it's not an individual choice type of thing.  35:03 Every choice has a tradeoff. One problem in politics is when candidates aren't upfront about the tradeoffs of a certain choice or pretend that there isn't any, which makes it harder to believe them. Nat and Neil talk about the start of Covid with the stay-at-home orders and wearing a mask. 39:08 Linking to Dictator's Handbook (episode here), it is advantageous for politicians to say problems are more urgent and pressing than they are because you can use that to retain power and influence. 43:41 Differences in generations and the trust in scientists. Younger generations are starting to suffer the consequences of explorations like combining science with food. Does science need to be added to everything? 46:41 People find what they're looking for. If you go in with a set of beliefs, you won't be looking for anything that confirms against your beliefs, in fact you may discard anything that argues against what you think is right without acknowledging the other set of values. 51:20 What's a Made You Think episode without a tangent? Nat and Neil talk about the vaccine/Autism debate. With dietary changes and other factors in the first year of a child's life, why are some scientists so set on vaccines being connected to Autism? 58:22 Paradigm shifts aren't in science only. Nat and Neil talk about paradigm shifts in technology, Web3, single sign-on, and more. 1:05:29 A new paradigm of community ownership, fundraising, and access to capital arose as NFTs became bigger. There are now new standards for membership, and how we can own music, art, etc. 1:07:05 Paradigms are like little blips on the map, and occasionally one will present a lot of solutions to existing problems. The same things happens in both science and technology. 1:11:46 Normal science vs. paradigm-shifting science. What would have been figured out anyway vs. what was truly a leap forward. 1:14:44 The direction and timing of different inventions. There are some things that develop slowly for years but then have a period of rapid development because the underlying technology catches up. Are there things that we are technologically ready for now but just haven't come up with yet? 1:19:28 Inversely, there are also inventions where the timing wasn't dependent on the underlying technology. 1:23:30 Thanks for listening!

That's right. We're now The Copernican Shift podcast (formerly the Unified-CXM Experience). And although we've changed the name, we haven't changed the format. We'll still feature some of the top marketing guests on the planet, and generally continue to challenge your perspectives about marketing, advertising, and digital channels. I've talked about the Copernican Shift before, but in this episode we go a little deeper into exactly what that means, and why it's critical for marketers to understand. The Copernican Shift. Mapping perception to reality since 1543.

Mike Hill joins for me for a multi-episode exploration of the masterful book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig. This book may be one of the most undervalued ever written, as it proposes an alternative interpretation of reality that Pirsig calls “The Metaphysics of Quality” (MOQ). According to MOQ, reality is not made up of substance, but rather it is composed of distinct patterns of value. In a Copernican-like revolution of perspective, MOQ sheds new light on age-old debates such as moral relativism, the nature of subject-object duality, good vs. evil, science vs. religion, the importance of freedom, and the primacy of action.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTMike's Website: https://www.mikehill.design/PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 A Purpose of Evil is to Test the Integrity of the Good00:06:09 Christ on the Cross as Emblematic of the Dynamic Tension of Being Human00:07:37 Society Frees Individuals from the Biological Chains of Necessity00:10:28 The Dynamic Tension Between The Individual and Society00:14:35 Authoritarian Government as a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing00:16:54 Evaluating the Sovereign Individual through the Lens of MoQ00:19:55 “Every Consciousness is a Center of the Universe”00:22:16 A High Quality Socioeconomic System Assimilates a Maximal Quantity of Perspectives00:25:25 A Human Being is a Collection of Ideas…00:27:07 NYDIG00:28:15 The Dynamic Tension Between the Biological and Social Layers00:32:30 The Role of Totalitarianism in the Bootstrapping of Societies00:36:22 Conditions of Oppression as a Precursor to Liberation00:39:09 Nietzsche's Three Metamorphoses: The Camel, The Lion, and The Child00:43:17 “The Moral Equivalent of War” and Life as Disobedience to Gravity00:46:35 The Dynamic Tension Between Central Banking and Bitcoin00:51:57 What Happens after The Lion Becomes The Child?00:53:31 “What is Money?” OutroSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
