In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with astrologer and researcher C.T. Lucero for a wide-ranging conversation that weaves through ancient astrology, the evolution of calendars, the intersection of science and mysticism, and the influence of digital tools like AI on symbolic interpretation. They explore the historical lineage from Hellenistic Greece to the Persian golden age, discuss the implications of the 2020 Saturn-Jupiter conjunction, touch on astrocartography, and reflect on the information age's shifting paradigms. For more on the guest's work, check out ctlucero.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces C.T. Lucero; they begin discussing time cycles and the metaphor of Monday as an unfolding future.05:00 Astrology's historical roots in Hellenistic Greece and Persian Baghdad; the transmission and recovery of ancient texts.10:00 The role of astrology in medicine and timing; predictive precision and interpreting symbolic calendars.15:00 Scientism vs. astrological knowledge; the objective reliability of planetary movement compared to shifting cultural narratives.20:00 Use of AI and large language models in astrology; the limits and future potential of automation in interpretation.25:00 Western vs. Vedic astrology; the sidereal vs. tropical zodiac debate and cultural preservation of techniques.30:00 Christianity, astrology, and the problem of idolatry; Jesus' position in relation to celestial knowledge.35:00 The Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of 2020; vaccine rollout and election disputes as symbolic markers.40:00 The Mayan Venus calendar and its eight-year cycle; 2020 as the true “end of the world.”45:00 Media manipulation, air-age metaphors, and digital vs. analog paradigms; the rise of new empires.50:00 Astrocartography and relocation charts; using place to understand personal missions.Key InsightsAstrology as a Temporal Framework: C.T. Lucero presents astrology not as mysticism but as a sophisticated calendar system rooted in observable planetary cycles. He compares astrological timekeeping to how we intuitively understand days of the week—Sunday indicating rest, Monday bringing activity—arguing that longer astrological cycles function similarly on broader scales.Historical Continuity and Translation: The episode traces astrology's lineage from Hellenistic Greece through Persian Baghdad and into modernity. Lucero highlights the massive translation efforts over the past 30 years, particularly by figures like Benjamin Dykes, which have recovered lost knowledge and corrected centuries of transcription errors, contributing to what he calls astrology's third golden age.Cultural and Linguistic Barriers to Knowledge: Lucero and Alsop discuss how language borders—historically with Latin and Greek, and now digitally with regional languages—have obscured access to valuable knowledge. This extends to old medical practices and astrology, which were often dismissed simply because their documentation wasn't widely accessible.Astrology vs. Scientism: Lucero critiques scientism for reducing prediction to material mechanisms while ignoring symbolic and cyclical insights that astrology offers. He stresses astrology's predictive power lies in pattern recognition and contextual interpretation, not in deterministic forecasts.Astrology and the Digital Age: AI and LLMs are starting to assist astrologers by generating interpretations and extracting planetary data, though Lucero points out that deep symbolic synthesis still exceeds AI's grasp. Specialized astrology AIs are emerging, built by domain experts for richer, more accurate analysis.Reevaluating Vedic and Mayan Systems: Lucero asserts that Western and Vedic astrology share a common origin, and even the Mayan Venus calendar may reflect the same underlying system. While the Indian tradition preserved techniques lost in the West, both traditions illuminate astrology's adaptive yet consistent core.2020 as a Historical Turning Point: According to Lucero, the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of December 2020 marked the start of a 20-year societal cycle and the end of a Mayan Venus calendar “day.” He links this to transformative events like the vaccine rollout and U.S. election, framing them as catalysts for long-term shifts in trust, governance, and culture.

In this high-energy episode, the host unpacks Donald Trump's bold, disruptive economic strategy—one reshaping global trade and pushing back against woke cultural dominance. From slapping India with 25% tariffs for siding with Russia and China, to unleashing American energy by declaring an emergency to cut red tape, Trump is rewriting the rules. The episode revisits how disastrous trade deals like the TPP were narrowly defeated, preserving U.S. sovereignty and economic leverage. But it doesn't stop there—Trump's crackdown on censorship regimes, both foreign and domestic, and the crumbling of the Human Rights Campaign's corporate chokehold mark a cultural turning point. As DEI departments are dismantled and bold, unapologetically American ads re-emerge, the host declares: the woke era is ending—and economic and cultural liberty are making a comeback.

In this sweeping two-part exposé, the host connects the dots between Donald Trump's misunderstood economic policies and a rising cultural rebellion against globalist and woke ideologies. Part one debunks the myth of “Tariffmageddon,” revealing how Trump's aggressive trade tactics, especially with nations like India and China, led to unexpected economic strength and energy dominance. Part two shifts focus to the cultural front, where major corporations are backing away from DEI mandates and leftist activism, signaling the collapse of a decade-long ideological grip. Together, the segments paint a picture of an America that's not just recovering — but reasserting itself economically, politically, and spiritually.

Take whatever sort of example in institutional culture. Maybe it's a culture of excellence, or continuous improvement, or disciplined execution. Maybe it's a culture of gratitude, or hard work, or competence. Whatever it is, why is it in the lifeblood of some institutions, and can't seem to get any traction in others?

On this episode of Vibe Check, Zach speaks with journalist and activist, Afeef Nessouli, about his recent experience in Gaza.

In this explosive monologue, the host unpacks the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, arguing it signals a dramatic shift in corporate and cultural power. What appears to be outrage over “sexist” marketing is reframed as a panic among progressive elites who've lost their grip on the advertising industry. The commentary claims that under the influence of Barack Obama and the Human Rights Campaign, corporations were pressured into pushing hyper-woke narratives—sacrificing traditional portrayals of masculinity, femininity, and heterosexuality. But now, with companies like Ford, Lowe's, and Coors retreating from DEI mandates and LGBT scoring systems, the segment sees the Sweeney ad as a watershed moment: a return to “normal” culture and free expression. The fight, the host argues, isn't about jeans—it's about the end of a censorship-industrial complex that once ruled Madison Avenue.

These two fiery segments confront major cultural flashpoints: escalating antisemitism on college campuses and the collapse of woke dominance in corporate media. The first transcript explores the shocking revelation of a "Jew Exclusion Zone" at UCLA, a federal judge's intervention, and President Trump's aggressive response—resulting in multimillion-dollar settlements from UCLA, Harvard, and Columbia for enabling antisemitic discrimination. The second transcript shifts focus to Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, dissecting progressive outrage as a sign of cultural panic. Together, the narratives argue that both academia and corporate America are witnessing a collapse of the far-left ideological grip, as traditional values and free expression push back against years of enforced political orthodoxy.

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. There seemed to be much momentum as Trump announced his 3rd run for presidency. Many scandals had taken place and been forgotten: Russia Gate, Election Gate, Assassination Gate...etc. Even more, culturally, we descended into a place humanity had never been historically. Women were no longer women, but men could compete against them, also, men could become women so long as we admit there is no such thing as a woman. Christians defended these things and churches were split. All of this was taking place underneath the surface level culture divide of ethnic hatred and so on. Today, some momentum seems to have been lost. There is ethnic fatigue, there is Trump fatigue, there is feminism fatigue, there is church fatigue...what is going on?!So, Brandon and Daren ask the question, "where are we now"? What does social media reveal to us as we peruse the internet to see where American culture is today? This is quite possibly a bold task, but a task worth completing.

In this second installment on the often-ignored topic of Christian headcovering, we move beyond the biblical mandate to examine how Church History consistently affirmed the practice and how the feminist movement worked strategically to dismantle it.For nearly two millennia, headcovering was universally practiced by faithful women across Christian denominations nearly without exception. But by the mid-20th century, it had all but vanished from the Western church. What changed? Was it new theological insight or cultural compromise?Join us as we explore how second-wave feminism targeted headcovering as a threat to its ideological goals, how pastors yielded to cultural pressure, and why recovering this symbol is about far more than fabric. This is not about going backward. It's about returning to the timeless beauty of God's design for worship, authority, and glory.⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠ to read the corresponding article to this episode and to get additional recommended reading and listening to explore this topic further.Recommended Resources for Further Study:Michael Barrett's ⁠Head Covering for Public Worship⁠Michael Barrett's ⁠Sermon Series on Headcovering⁠Bnonn Tennant on ⁠Head Coverings⁠History of Quotes on ⁠Headcovering Since the Reformation⁠⁠Head Covering: A Forgotten Christian Practice for Modern Times⁠ by Jeremy GardinerR.C.

My guest for this episode is author and historian Karl Bell, who joined me to talk about his new book, The Perilous Deep: A Supernatural History of the Atlantic. Karl is Associate Professor in Cultural and Social History and Co-Director of the Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Cultures at the University of Portsmouth. Prior to his latest work, he wrote The Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack, which was winner of the 2013 Katharine Briggs Award. As its title mentions, The Perilous Deep focuses on the Atlantic Ocean. This is a place whose vastness and unfathomable depths have inspired tales of ghost ships, reports of encounters with mermaids and sea monsters, and legends of mysterious islands for centuries. These stories were told by both seafarers and coastal communities and formed an important part of their culture. In the book, Karl explores why these stories were told, how they were repeated and mutated and what fears, anxieties and desires they helped to express. It offers an insight into the supernatural history of the Atlantic Ocean and some of its neighbouring seas, showing how seafaring peoples have developed knowledge and a sense of control over nature through myths and legends. The Perilous Deep is published by Reaktion Books - further details are available at https://reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/the-perilous-deep.

In this episode, I sit down with Carla Fernandez to talk about something most of us carry but rarely feel safe enough to name: grief. But not just the grief of losing someone you love—though that's here too. We're talking Renegade Grief—Carla's fiercely compassionate framework for the untidy, lifelong grief that shows up when we lose a relationship, a role, a dream, a version of ourselves. The kind of grief that cyclebreakers know all too well.Carla shares her story and the origin of The Dinner Party, a community space for folks navigating all kinds of loss. Together, we explore how grief isn't something to “get over,” but something we're meant to move with. To honor. To metabolize in community, not isolation.We name the grief of growing up without what you needed. The grief of parenting while healing. The grief of estrangement, identity shifts, ancestral rupture. The grief that lives in the body—and the grief that, when tended to with care and ritual, can open the door to deeper presence, purpose, and love.Some takeaways from our conversation:Grief is not a problem to solve, but a process to be witnessed.Community is essential—grief is too big to hold alone.Cultural grief practices have been lost, but they can be reclaimed.Rituals create space for the body to process what words can't.Grief isn't just about death—it's about all the ways we love, lose, and evolve.Naming grief is a form of resistance in a culture that wants us to stay numb.When we meet our grief, we meet our capacity for connection and resilience.If you're in a season of shedding, of awakening, of outgrowing… this conversation is medicine. You are not broken—you're breaking open. I loved loved this conversation and I know you will too!You can purchase her book on her website: https://www.carlafernandez.co/renegade-griefAND the Dinner Party website is a wealth of resources for anyone that is grieving, she has created a curated list of books for each unique season and reason for grief: https://bookshop.org/shop/thedinnerpartyreads

fWotD Episode 3008: Scanners (collection) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 30 July 2025, is Scanners (collection).Scanners (Autumn/Winter 2003) was the twenty-second collection by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen for his eponymous fashion house. The collection is based on the idea of exiles travelling eastward through northern Eurasia: Siberia, Tibet, and finally Japan. The designs borrow heavily from the traditional clothing and art of those areas, and reflect an overall aesthetic of luxury, with voluminous silhouettes and rich materials. Cultural motifs include heavy embroidery, traditional patterns, and kimono-like shapes. The runway show was staged on 8 March 2003 at the Grande halle de la Villette in Paris, with production by McQueen's usual creative team. The set was made to look like a desolate tundra with rocks and snow. A clear plastic wind tunnel was suspended over the runway on industrial scaffolding for some models to walk through. Fifty-nine looks were presented in roughly three stages, representing the journey through each of Siberia, Tibet, and Japan. The show ended with a model struggling through the wind tunnel in an enormous kimono.Critical reception was mostly positive and sales were reportedly strong. Academic analysis has considered whether McQueen was engaging in cultural appropriation of Asian culture. Items from Scanners have appeared in exhibitions like the retrospective Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Wednesday, 30 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Scanners (collection) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

In this fiery double-segment, the host celebrates Donald Trump's historic trade win with the European Union—so dominant even France called it an act of "submission." With billions flowing into the U.S. Treasury and long-blocked markets finally opening to American producers, Trump's deal marks a crushing defeat of the globalist TPP agenda. The host credits listeners for helping torpedo that disastrous plan in 2016, exposing how close America came to surrendering trade and immigration control to foreign bureaucrats. Then the focus shifts to the latest front in the culture war: heterosexuality under fire. A new ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney sparks outrage from leftist TikTokers who liken it to “Nazi propaganda” for daring to celebrate traditional beauty and overt heterosexual appeal. The host explores how liberal outrage culture, driven by identity politics, continues to target anything resembling normalcy—even as consumers respond positively to what the left condemns. It's a tale of two Americas: one winning on the world stage, the other spiraling into cultural absurdity.

In this episode of the PBL Simplified podcast, host Ryan Steuer talks with Doug Noll, a former trial lawyer turned peacemaker, to discuss effective strategies for de-escalating conflicts with angry parents, students, and teachers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding emotions in conflict resolution, introducing the concept of affect labeling as a powerful tool for calming individuals and fostering connection. Doug shares insights on how to apply these techniques in educational settings, highlighting the need for emotional intelligence among educators and students alike. The episode concludes with practical advice for administrators on how to implement these strategies in their schools. Takeaways Fights and arguments between human beings are unnecessary. Human beings are driven by emotions, not rationality. Affect labeling is a technique to de-escalate anger. Listening to emotions rather than words is crucial. De-escalation must occur before problem-solving. Students often act out due to a lack of connection. Emotional abuse in families affects student behavior. Affect labeling can create emotional safety in classrooms. Teachers can learn to help students self-regulate emotions. Cultural programming often devalues emotional expression.

No culto de celebração dominical no MAP Curitiba, o Pr. Adeildo Nascimento trouxe uma palavra poderosa sobre a verdadeira essência do Evangelho: a graça de Deus.Muitos desejam apenas o poder, os dons, os milagres. Mas há algo ainda maior: a graça que nos sustenta, transforma e nos torna semelhantes a Cristo. Sem graça, não há continuidade. Sem graça, não há cruz. E sem cruz, não há ressurreição.Essa mensagem é um convite para voltarmos à essência do Evangelho e reconhecermos que é a graça de Deus que nos basta.

In this conversation we're exited to welcome Alana Lentin back to the show to talk about her new book The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy, which works with the concept of the racial regime put forth by Cedric Robinson in his book Forgeries of Memory and Meaning. The book features a foreword by Elizabeth Robinson, long time interlocutor, partner in critical media work, and life partner of Cedric Robinson.  We talk about this project which starts with an analysis of the war on so-called Critical Race Theory, and the attendant fascistic agenda, the “whitelash” against Black Studies, and gets deep into zionist counterinsurgency efforts throughout academia, as well as the so-called “war on antisemitism,” and how we make sense of “the processes through which racial colonial rule is ideologically resecured.” It's a really interesting read and I definitely recommend people pick it up. Alana Lentin is a teacher and writer, and identifies as a Jewish European woman who is a settler on Gadigal-Wangal land (Sydney, Australia). Her work focuses on a critical theorization of race, racism and antiracism.  She is a Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis at Western Sydney University. She is the author and editor of multiple books, including Why Race Still Matters and Racism and Anti-Racism in Europe.  More about Dr. Lentin and her work can be found at her website. This also is the first episode that Josh and Jared have recorded together since October of 2023, and it was great to collaborate again on an episode! We hosted with the Sameer Project last week.

Send us a textThe crew gathers with a couple of noticeable absences, leading to an unexpectedly deep conversation about how success changes friendships.

Can artificial intelligence actually help you hire better people? In this episode of Choose People Love Pets, Brianna and Phoebe pull back the curtain on how they're combining gut instinct, value-driven interview questions, and AI tools like ChatGPT to make smarter, more aligned hiring decisions in their veterinary hospital. From evaluating resumes to catching red flags in interviews, they share the exact questions they ask, how they involve their team in the process, and the surprising ways AI has helped them hire for culture, not just credentials. You'll laugh (cutoff butt shorts at an interview?), you'll learn, and you'll probably leave wanting to rewrite your interview guide. Takeaways Setting clear expectations is crucial in the hiring process. Identifying red flags can prevent future issues in team dynamics. Resumes should be evaluated for presentation and experience. Cultural fit is as important as skills and experience. Behavioral questions can reveal a candidate's true character. Curiosity in candidates indicates genuine interest in the role. Hiring slow and firing fast helps maintain a positive culture. Proactive communication is key to a successful team environment. Candidates should demonstrate accountability and teamwork. Reflecting on past interview experiences can improve future hiring practices.
