His research starts from a simple premise - if our self-awareness, the ability to look at ourselves in the mirror and declare that there is an “I” staring back, is truly unique in the animal kingdom, then it likely related to that moment of coming. But no one really knows what happened in the fog of pre-history to ratchet us from the gauzy time before we were fully human to… whatever all of this that we're living in right now could be called. In fact, this is often referred to as the sapient paradox. Why, oh why, did we become genetically modern nearly 300,000 years ago (maybe more) but take until about 50,000 years ago to start doing human things like making art, ritually burying our dead, and tracking the stars? Many have suggested it was psychedelic mushrooms that pushed us over the edge. This is the stoned ape hypothesis, which says that a sufficiently large psychedelic experience pushed us out of the womb of the earth. However, Andrew thinks it might have been something else. He figures it was snakes. And women. Together, they produced the Snake Cult of Consciousness that dragged us, kicking and screaming, into the world.(00:00) Go!

Welcome, curious souls, to another intriguing episode where we dare to explore the shadowy depths of the unknown. Today, we embark on a journey into the realm of myth and mystery as we delve into the enigmatic world of mermaids and sirens. Picture this: you're standing on the windswept cliffs of the rugged Irish coastline, the salty sea air tingling your senses. Below, the waves crash against the rocks, and in the distance, you catch a glimpse of something shimmering beneath the surface – could it be a mermaid, beckoning you into the depths with her siren song? But before we plunge headfirst into the depths of folklore, let's take a moment to ponder the origins of these beguiling creatures. Throughout history, sailors have regaled us with tales of mermaids and sirens – half-women, half-fish beings who dwell in the darkest depths of the ocean. Some scholars believe that sightings of manatees or dugongs may have inspired the mermaid myth, while others speculate that the eerie songs of seabirds could have given rise to the siren's enchanting melodies. But regardless of their origins, there's something undeniably captivating about these aquatic temptresses. Now, let's dive into the rich tapestry of folklore and explore the colorful variations of the mermaid and siren myths. In Irish folklore, Merrows were said to inhabit the waters off the coast of Ireland, with their shimmering green hair and penchant for mischief.  In Irish folklore, the Merrows, or "muir folk," are said to inhabit the waters off the coast of Ireland, their shimmering green hair and haunting melodies captivating the hearts of sailors and fishermen alike. Legend has it that these mystical creatures are descended from the union of a human and a magical sea being.

This episode may be hard for some people to listen to, but we feel it's important to talk about it because so many families share with us that they struggle with making the decision of whether or not to circumcise their children. Brendon Marotta, creator of the documentary American Circumcision, joined us to tackle this subject. Brendon Marotta is a filmmaker, author, podcaster, public speaker, and father. His last film, American Circumcision, won multiple awards and played on Netflix. He is the author of The Intactivist Guidebook,  The Haunting of Bob Cratchit, and Children's Justice. He has spoken at Yale University, the International Conference on Men's Issues, the International Symposium on Genital Autonomy and Children's Right's, and the Association for Pre and Perinatal Psychology. Brendon hosts a regular podcast called The Brendon Marotta Show. He currently lives with his family in Austin, TX.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Disclaimer03:01 The Disproportionate Impact of Circumcision04:27 Personal Experiences and Challenging Conversations05:24 Uncomfortable Feelings and Cultural Norms06:19 Questioning Cultural and Societal Beliefs07:33 Changing Landscape and Statistics08:28 The Shift from Norm to Choice09:24 The Price Tag and Parental Decision-Making10:22 Welcoming Conversations and Making a Difference11:18 The Influence of Cultural and Social Factors12:16 The Need for Greater Accountability13:42 Cultural Practices and Double Standards15:09 Understanding the Harm of Circumcision18:01 Different Sensations and Types of Orgasms19:23 The Importance of Informed Consent20:24 Questioning Societal Values and Beliefs22:46 Cultural Myths and Unexamined Beliefs24:13 Reevaluating Religious and Cultural Practices25:24 Scientific Evidence and Informed Decision-Making26:19 The Creation of Gender and Cultural Imperialism27:41 Courage, Cultural Blowback, and Double Standards30:39 The Need for Accountability and Ethical Standards31:07 Exploring the Ethical Arguments Against Male Circumcision31:58 The Influence of Cultural Programming on Circumcision Perspectives32:55 Shifting Perspectives: Seeing Circumcision as Something That Happened33:56 The Importance of Uncomfortable Conversations and Conflict Resolution34:26 Parenting Decisions: Considering Values and Bodily Autonomy37:36 Proper Care for Intact Genitals: Simple and NaturalSee Brendon's work here.See Brendon's credits on IMDB here.Follow Brendon on social media here.SummaryBrendon Marotta, filmmaker and author, discusses the topic of circumcision and the need for education and awareness. He shares his personal journey of discovering the harms of circumcision and his passion for advocating against it. The conversation explores the cultural and societal factors that contribute to the continuation of circumcision, as well as the physical and psychological impacts it has on individuals. The importance of informed consent and questioning societal norms is emphasized. The conversation also touches on the comparison between male and female genital cutting and the need for greater accountability and change in medical practices. The conversation explores the ethical arguments against male circumcision and the importance of bodily autonomy. It highlights the cultural programming and societal norms that influence people's perspectives on circumcision. The discussion emphasizes the need for men to shift their perspective and see circumcision as something that happened to them, not as an immutable part of their identity. It also touches on the importance of uncomfortable conversations and conflict resolution in relationships. The conversation concludes with advice for parents who are deciding whether or not to circumcise their child.TakeawaysCircumcision is a topic that requires education and awareness, as it impacts every person in America in some way.There is a disproportionate lack of public conversation about circumcision, despite its personal and societal implications.Circumcision removes 50% of the shaft skin of the penis, the highest density nerve endings, and is often done without anesthesia, causing lasting changes in behavior and sexuality.Circumcision is an irreversible and painful procedure that should be approached with informed consent and consideration of the physical and psychological impacts.There is a need for greater accountability and change in medical practices surrounding circumcision, as well as a reevaluation of cultural and societal norms.The comparison between male and female genital cutting highlights the need for consistent ethical standards and the recognition of individual autonomy and bodily integrity. Male circumcision raises ethical questions and challenges the concept of bodily autonomy.Cultural programming and societal norms influence people's perspectives on circumcision.Men need to shift their perspective and see circumcision as something that happened to them, not as an immutable part of their identity.Uncomfortable conversations and conflict resolution are important skills to develop in relationships.Parents should consider their values and the impact of their decisions on their child's bodily autonomy.Proper care for intact genitals is simple and does not require any special procedures.Please feel free to reach out to us with any recommendations for show episode ideas.

She delves into the prevalent myths that hinder women's empowerment.

There is a question that many Christian parents never ask God. Catherine and her husband didn't ask God this question for the first two decades of their marriage, despite attending church weekly, tithing, going so small groups, and having daily devotionals. That question is:   WHAT DOES GOD WANT MY FAMILY TO LOOK LIKE?   We often seek God about where we should work, live, and go to church, what school our kids should attend, and how to raise our children—but many parents never ask God how many kids they should have, adopt, or foster.   Why is that?   In this episode, Catherine explores this topic and then allows listeners to be a fly on the wall of her post-interview conversation with Kirsten Vossler, a mother of nine (soon to be ten). They discuss how the church has been subtly influenced by the world's perspective on parenting and children.   If Jesus is to truly be Lord of our lives, that means He must be Lord of our families. That doesn't mean we have to crank out as many babies as possible in our child-bearing years, but it does mean we should seek God's plan over our personal preference.   Kirsten Vossler's Bio: Kirsten is a mother of 9, yes you heard that right—9 kiddos. She has been a Children's pastor, a worship leader, a writer, a conference speaker, and now she is host of the Rejoicing in Motherhood Podcast.   Kirsten's Website Kirsten's Podcast: Rejoicing in Motherhood   RESOURCES & PODCASTS REFERENCED:   “Should God Have a Say in the Size of Your Family” by Catherine Segars   EPISODE 70: “When God Doesn't Answer Our Prayers the Way We Hoped He Would” (w/ Andy Howard)   EPISODE 71: “How Does God Bring Beauty Out of the Broken Places in Our Lives?” (w/ Andy Howard)   Rejoicing in Motherhood Podcast EPISODE 120 – Dispelling 5 Cultural Myths about Motherhood (w/ Catherine Segars) Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

When it comes to blowing up at our kids, it's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when. It happens to the best of us. But often the inciting incident isn't the real issue because the thing that sets us off isn't the root of the problem. We've got to dig up the root if we want to get rid of the bitter fruit.   In this episode, Catherine continues her encouraging and incredibly practical conversation with Kirsten Vossler, a mother of 9 and host of the The Rejoicing in Motherhood Podcast. Together, these mamas dig deep to find out what is really going on when that one last nerve is raw and exposed and we just can't seem to keep it together. They also discuss how to exercise restraint and not indulge that fleshly desire to yell at our kids. The key is leaning into the Holy Spirit.   Using the 7 steps that Kirsten outlined in Episode 74, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us and control our tongues, and getting to the root of what is really bothering will help us to mature as parents and believers. And as we commit to these steps, we will blow it a lot less with our kids.   Kirsten Vossler's Bio: Kirsten is a mother of 9, yes you heard that right—9 kiddos.

He is the founder of the Orphan Wisdom School in Tramore, Canada, and the author of four books, including Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, the award-winning book about grief, dying, and the great love of life, and Come Of Age: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble. In 2015, he created Nights of Grief & Mystery with Canadian singer-songwriter Gregory Hoskins. With a 5-piece band, they have mounted international tours and released three albums, most recently DARK ROADS and ROUGH GODS.

In this episode, the Moms speak with two guests, Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri, hosts of the podcast, Mommying While Muslim.  These two guests provide insight into their experience as Muslim mothers in a post-9/11 world.  They begin by discussing the inspiration for starting their podcast and the importance of sharing their perspectives and their experiences openly with the world.  Later, Zaiba and Uzma delve into the many misconceptions of Muslims in the US that they both strive to counteract on their podcast and in their daily practice of Islam.  These women are an absolute joy to speak with and listen to!  Leah and Melissa highly recommend their podcast. The Book Blurb in this episode is from a recently published novel, The Beauty of Your Face, written by Sahar Mustafah.  This book tells the story of Afaf, a descendant of Palestinian immigrants currently serving as a principal at an all-girls Muslim school in Inner-City Chicago.  If you're interested in more from this author, click here.A few other notable mentions include this recent People article about Zaiba and the MWM podcast, and two specific Mommying While Muslim podcast episodes: Double Takes We Experience, and When Islam is Not a Religion with Asma Uddin.  Melissa also references Glennon Doyle's chapter about racism in her most recent book, Untamed, and a Casper ter Kuile quote from Harry Potter and the Sacred Text.  Last, check out this video of Uzma speaking about women in Islam.

Welcome to episode #139! Breaking Cultural myths! In this episode I share 8 cultural myths and why they are being broken. You need a good education and college degree in order to be successful.  Being vulnerable means weakness.  Being busy=good.  You need to climb the ladder of “success”  You need a relationship because if you’re single you are viewed as weird.  Saying “no” to people makes you mean.  It’s your job to make other people happy and you shouldn’t do nice things for yourself.

We are currently living in a cultural myth characterized by ideas of separation, unworthiness, and scarcity. It is a culture that indoctrinates each and every one of us to the idea that we are separate, on our own, and there never is enough to go around. We are taught to believe that we are not enough and we never will be. But what if there were one word, that could completely liberate us as individuals and a culture? “Enough!,” says Laurie McCammon.

In this episode I talk about the following Cultural Myths which underlie everything. 1. We are inherently evil 2. Life is about " Survival of the Fittest". DM your response on FB or IG @theomaromran

In this episode we're going to help you bust some cultural myths about the UK and British people Más podcasts para mejorar tu ingles en: http://www.inglespodcast.com More podcasts to improve your English at: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  Comment on the website from Fleudy: Good afternoon,I have a problem with my English. I’ve been learning English for two years and I know a lot of words and grammar, but my big problem is the listening. This problem have (has) been hitting(bugging) me for a long time. Please tell me what I can do to improve it. Listen to podcasts. Search Google for your hobbies and interests and then type the word 'podcast' (for example, 'football podcast', 'movie podcast', 'tech podcast') Also search on itunes, Google Play, ivoox, and use podcast apps like Stitcher. http://www.apple.com/lae/itunes/  https://play.google.com/store?hl=en  https://www.stitcher.com/  Also listen to English music and films in origianl version (and this podcast!) Listener Feedback from Ando from Mexico Great pronunciation! Mexicans eat a lot of tacos. The Spanish dance Flamenco, go to bullfights and are lazy because they always have a siesta and leave everything until mañana! What about the UK? Let’s bust some cultural myths! 1. Everyone in England speaks with either a London Cockney accent or posh like the Queen. 2. We're always drinking tea. India, Turkey, China and Ireland drink more (per head of population). Brits drink almost as much coffee as tea. "Come round for tea" = come to our house for the evening meal. 3. We all know Sean Connery, Mick Jagger, David Beckham and The Queen personally. 4. Everyone lives in London or in houses like Downtown Abbey. 5. The food is terrible! Britain has four restaurants that have a 3 michelin stars and has the 4th, 5th and 9th best restaurant in the world, according to Trip Advisor (http://uk.businessinsider.com/tripadvisors-best-restaurants-in-the-world-2015-2015-10?r=US&IR=T) Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal 6. It's always raining (Britain is number 46th in a list of worldwide average rainfall, this is above countries such as New Zealand (29th) and even the USA (25th)). It drizzles a lot in the UK. Brits speak about the weather a lot and it's also common to see rain and bad weather in British art. Winters are longer than summer in the UK. Do the British always carry umbrellas? 7. All Brits have bad teeth - a study by the OECD, published in The Economist, shows that Brits have some of the healthiest teeth in the world. ( http://www.economist.com/node/15060097 ) 8. British people hate Europeans and North Americans. 9. The British are very reserved and unfriendly. 10 We drink warm beer. 11. The English sometimes confuse “British” with “English”, as do non-British people (see inglespodcast.com/52) ( http://www.inglespodcast.com/2015/05/24/phrasal-verbs-with-up-england-britain-great-britain-and-the-uk-gerunds-and-infinitives-asking-for-directions-airc52/ ) It can be difficult to tell the difference between the accents of Canadians and North Americans and between Australians and New Zealanders How would you stereotype the Chinese? The Germans? The Brazilians? The French? (which adjectives would you use?) How much do you think I live up to an English stereotype? Say some adjectives and I’ll tell you which nationality you’re stereotyping. HEAVEN “Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian, and it’s all organised by the Swiss” HELL “Hell is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and it’s all organised by the Italians.” Thoughts on Cuisine: “The Europeans have good food. The British have...good table manners!” Quotes from George Mikes - a Hungarian writer who came to the UK for a few weeks, but ended up staying, obtaining British nationality and writing about the British - “The British are brave people. They can face anything, except reality.” “An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” “The British - as the whole world, particularly the British, keep saying - are the most fair-minded people in the world. After the Second World War they declared: ‘Let’s be fair. We’ve been Top Nation for centuries. We have done splendidly well once again. Now we must give others a chance. Let’s decline’.” Audio message from Santiago from Argentina: Reverse culture shock ...and now it's your turn to practise your English. Do you have a question for us or an idea for a future episode?

(Ana from Mexico feels disappointed, upset. She doesn't feel well - because of her level of English) I wrote to Ana and asked her for to tell us a bit more about her profession and which jobs has she applied for. She answered by email: “I'm a manufacturing engineer and I have applied for these kind of jobs, such as a project engineer, process engineer and others jobs related to manufacturing. I think I have not been accepted because the level of English they need is advanced, it is because global companies work with people around the world. It is required to talk about specifications of machines, materials, measures, tolerances, and more,especially over negotiations in money.” I think her English is very, very good.

In this episode, Dr. Bella DePaulo, social psychologist and author will first draw upon her well recognized book, Singled Out: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After to consider the cultural myths, negative presumptions and even financial discrimination against people who choose to live alone. Considering that more than half of adult Americans are single, Dr. DePaulo's goal of raising consciousness regarding “Singlism” and awareness of the actual happiness of many singles is an important one. In this episode, Dr. De Paulo will also discuss her fascinating new book, How We Live Now: Redefining Home and Family in the 21st Century, which considers the creative and often non-nuclear ways that people are finding to live. The message of this show is thinking beyond cultural constraints to notice the different ways, spaces and places that people can choose to live happy lives.
