This Week Anna & Paul are combing through the Yearbook from Point 'n Click High, and deciding things like: Who had the best hair? Who's the class clown? Who has the most punchable face? Who had the best death animation?  It kinda starts as more Yearbook trope kinda questions and then transforms into general award-show style questions but it's a good time, you'll see, you'll all see.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. We bring you the thrilling conclusion of our look at John DeCamp, the disgraced former politician/conspiracy monger who sued the games industry following the Columbine shooting. We look at John's associations with some very fine people and how he tried to get to the bottom of a bunch of other conspiracies leading into his massive suit against violent video games. Topics discussed include: John's nigh infinite supply of secret information on essentially every conspiracy, the surely gripping conversations between John DeCamp and Dave Grossman, and video games gain free speech protection thanks to an unlikely hero. On the relationship of Qanon, the militia movement, and the January 6, 2021, insurrection, check out: Gia Kokotakis, "Into the Abyss: QAnon and the Militia Sphere in the 2020 Election," George Washington University's GW Program on Extremism, March 28, 2023, https://extremism.gwu.edu/into-the-abyss-QAnon-in-US.  Some resources on identifying conspiracy theories and what to do if you or someone you care about is falling into conspiracies:"Conspiracy Theories and How to Help Family and Friends Who Believe Them," Anti Defamation League, August 23, 2022, https://www.adl.org/conspiracy-theories. Stephen Lewandowsky and John Cook, The Conspiracy Theory Handbook, March 2020, https://skepticalscience.com/conspiracy-theory-handbook-downloads-translations.html.We'd also be remiss if we didn't recommend Natalie Wynn's March 24, 2025, video, simply titled "CONSPIRACY" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teqkK0RLNkI. Also, the two podcasts we mentioned today:Knowledge Fight: https://knowledgefight.com/. QAA Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qAmVJsQW0k51ZJ9bDZyZd. More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com. 

Der wunderbare Titel der heutigen Episode lautet: »Die Natur kennt feine Grade«. Leider stammt er nicht von mir, sondern ist der Titel des neuen Buches meines heutigen Gasts, Prof. Frank Zachos. Aufmerksame Hörer werden sich an Frank erinnern, dazu aber mehr später. Frank Zachos ist seit 2011 Wissenschaftler am Naturhistorischen Museum in Wien und außerdem externer Professor an der Universität in Bloemfontein in Südafrika. Er hat Biologie, Philosophie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte studiert und beschäftigt sich außer mit Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie auch mit theoretischen und philosophischen Aspekten der Biologie. In dieser Episode beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, welche Beiträge Naturwissenschaft im Allgemeinen und Biologie im Besonderen bei fundamentalen Fragen des Menschseins leisten kann. Wir beginnen dabei mit den bekannten Kant'schen Fragen: Was kann ich wissen? (Erkenntnistheorie) Was darf ich hoffen? (Religionsphilosophie) Was soll ich tun? (Ethik / Moralphilosophie) Was ist der Mensch? (Anthropologie im weitesten Sinne) Und zu allen Fragen gibt es, wir wir erkunden werden, eine biologische Dimension. Zahlreiche Fragen werden aufgeworfen: Wie unterscheiden sich Mensch und Tier? Welche Rolle spielt Evolution in den verschiedensten Bereichen unseres Lebens, von der Biologie, über die Erkenntnis bis zur Kultur? Was können wir für Moral und Ethik von der Biologie lernen? Was ist die evolutionäre Erkenntnistheorie (die besonders auch in Österreich wichtige Vertreter hatte)? Wir blicken hier zurück auf Konrad Lorenz und Rupert Riedl. Kann man der Philosophie in den Naturwissenschaften entkommen, oder holt sie uns immer ein? »Man kann die Philosophie ignorieren, man kann ihr aber nicht entkommen« Was ist der Unterschied zwischen unwissenschaftlichen und außerwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen? Was ist metaphysischer Realismus, und warum lässt sich dieser wissenschaftlich nicht begründen. Welche Rolle spielt systemisches Denken in Ergänzung zum Reduktionismus für die komplexen Herausforderungen der Zeit und warum kann biologisches Denken ebenfalls hilfreich sein? »Wer will was Lebendigs erkennen und beschreiben, Sucht erst den Geist herauszutreiben, Dann hat er die Teile in seiner Hand, Fehlt, leider! nur das geistige Band.«, Goethe, Faust I Behaupten wir oft mehr zu wissen und zu verstehen als wir wirklich tun? Warum ist intellektuelle Bescheidenheit gerade heute von zentraler Bedeutung. »Die Wissenschaft ist gewissermaßen Opfer ihres eigenen Erfolgs geworden« Gibt es Kränkungen der Menschheit durch Wissenschaft? Gibt es bei manchen oder gar vielen Menschen eine Art der Realitätsfurcht? Was hat »Follow the Science« ausgelöst, also vor rund 100 Jahren Euthanasie und die Verbesserung der Erbsubstanz des Menschen als Stand des Wissens galt? »Wann immer man Moral mit wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen letztbegründen will, wird es ganz gefährlich« Frank erinnert dabei wieder an Kant: »Es gibt kein Sollen in der Natur.« Womit sich die Frage stellt, was ein naturalistischer Fehlschluss ist, und wie wir ihn vermeiden können? »Wer zwingt uns natürlich zu sein?« Oder wie es Hans Rosling ausdrückt:  »Have you heard people say that humans used to live in balance with nature? […] There was a balance. It wasn't because humans lived in balance with nature. Humans died in balance with nature. It was utterly brutal and tragic.« Kehren wir zurück zur Erkenntnis: was können wir aus der Biologie über Erkenntnisfähigkeit lernen? Konkreter gedacht am Beispiel der evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie sowie den Kant'schen a prioris. »Das was im Idividuum a priori ist (also von Geburt an), ist eigentlich doch etwas erlerntes, aber nicht individuell erlernt, sondern evolutionär/stammesgeschichtlich. Das Kant'sche a priori wird in der evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie zu einem phylogenetischen oder evolutionären a posteriori.« Nicht zuletzt diskutieren wir auch über die Bedeutung von Religion für die Menschen. Verschwindet Religion langsam, wenn unsere Erkenntnisse über die Welt zunehmen, oder passiert eher das Gegenteil? Und damit reißen wir die Fragen die in Franks Buch aufgeworfen werden, nur an. Daher an alle Zuhörer dieser Episode, die Empfehlung, sich das Buch zu besorgen und weiterzulesen. »Wir können mittlerweile Dinge beschreiben, die wir uns gar nicht mehr vorstellen können« Referenzen Frank Zachos Frank Zachos im Naturhistorischen Museum in Wien Frank Zachos, Die Natur kennt feine Grade (2025) Andere Episoden Episode 118: Science and Decision Making under Uncertainty, A Conversation with Prof. John Ioannidis   Episode 106: Wissenschaft als Ersatzreligion?

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, a retired U.S. Army Ranger and former psychology professor at West Point, is widely known for his book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society. The book delves into the emotional and psychological impact that killing has on soldiers, and it introduced the concept of "killology"—the study of how taking a life affects the human mind. Grossman suggests that humans naturally resist killing, and that military training has evolved to help soldiers overcome this resistance. His research has significantly influenced military and police training programs, although some of his theories have sparked debate among scholars and critics.EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Background of Lt.

This week Anna & Paul are talking about non-adventure games, for some reason. Oh, Paul was supposed to say, for his first pick, "Astro Chicken" and he formally regrets forgetting this very so-so joke. See cos, that's in an adventure game and so it represents his hesitation to embrace anything outside of the adventure genre.  I'm glad I explained it, it's for sure funnier now. Mangia!   The Phantom Fellows Pin/Magnet by CanvasQuest!   Mac OS9 Emulator (Mac) Mac OS9 Emulator (PC)  Mac System Seven Emulator (Mac) Mac System Seven Emulator (PC)   Play our adventure game!

As we reach HALFTIME during the week Jeff chats with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Chris Beach & Mike Dickinson on this Happy Hump Day Edition of The Jeff Katz Show!

"On Killing" is Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's most famous work but he joins Jeff to talk about a few recent books he has released and how your church can be more protected in 2025.

Mid week and Jeff gets it started with a "sheepdog" lesson and then the "Master Sheepdog" Lt. Col. Dave Grossman chimes in himself!

Dave Grossman, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, renowned author, and speaker, shares his insights on spiritual warfare, the "sheepdog" analogy, and the critical role of sleep in maintaining resilience. Through his experiences and teachings, he brings attention to how men can embody both protectors and caregivers, fostering a balanced and loving environment in their homes while being ready to respond to threats. Grossman encourages men to channel their inner sheepdog: - Self-control is key. Losing your temper is akin to losing bodily control—there is never an appropriate moment for it. - Men are encouraged to switch from protector mode (sheepdog) to nurturing mode (family dog), embodying gentleness and patience at home. Ultimately, Grossman's insights provide a comprehensive framework for men to balance their roles as protectors and nurturers. By fostering self-control, engaging in spiritual warfare, and prioritizing sleep, they can become effective sheepdogs for their families and communities. The transformation into both a gentle caregiver and a resolute protector is not just possible but essential in building strong families and resilient communities.

La storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island entra nel vivo nella seconda puntata. Con un Ron Gilbert in piena crisi creativa, a dargli una spinta nella giusta direzione ci pensano una pausa forzata per occuparsi di tutt'altro e un libro dal titolo Mari Stregati. Forte di un protagonista e di un antagonista che finalmente funzionano, Ron ha solo bisogno di una vera squadra di sceneggiatori per partire. Nascono così gli "scummlets", le nuove reclute destinate a imparare a programmare con uno SCUMM sempre più snello e completo. Tim Schafer e Dave Grossman, all'epoca ventenni e senza nessuna esperienza lavorativa, si presentano allo Skywalker Ranch come una scolaresca in visita, e ben presto si trovano catapultati nell'assurdo mondo di pirateria e nonsense partorito dalla mente di Ron. Da qui è tutto un susseguirsi di inaspettate intuizioni e colpi di genio, mentre al Ranch arriva anche un certo Michael Land, pronto a mettere la sua esperienza di compositore al servizio dei temi caraibici richiesti da Ron. E proprio quando le cose sembrano andare per il meglio, LucasFilm Games si trasforma velocemente in LucasArts, e tutto cambia. Tutto questo e molto altro nella seconda e ultima puntata della storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island.

In late August of 2020 the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team attempted to execute search and arrest warrants on a family compound in Johnson Hollow, a heavily wooded and very rural area of Kentucky.  The suspect, who was being sought on potential murder and drug related charges, had hiding locations and weapons throughout the compound and had built a series of hardened firing positions from which to attack officers.  In the 48 hours that followed, the team would have two Officer involved shootings with two different suspects all on the same compound.  This event would stretch the team and its resources to their limits, yet the team rose to the challenge yielding a successful outcome despite almost impossible conditions. This case provides numerous lessons learned and teaching points about rural operations and the dangers of unexpected challenges.  My guests today are Sgt. Heath Ayers and Trooper Logan Smith from the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team.  LinksTwo fatally shot in KSP involved shootings in Knox County | News | thetimestribune.comhttps://www.clayconews.com/news/16719-suspect-fatally-injured-in-2nd-officer-involved-shooting-in-knox-county-ky-victim-in-1st-shooting-identified Books RecommendedFearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown by Eric Blehm - ISBN-13: 978-0307730695On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace by Dave Grossman & Loren W.

What is the meaning of death? Gotcha! You thought I'd ask the meaning of life. Okay, we'll address both, within a hunting context, thanks to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, one of three authors (with Linda K. Miller and Capt. Keith A. Cunningham) of the new book ON HUNTING ... A definitive study of the mind, body and ecology of the hunter in the modern world. A former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger, Dave's combat experience, experience training military and tactical teams, and as a hunter combine in this book that will make you think about why we do what we do. He and his writing team's take on hunting is comprehensive and thought-provoking, addressing why we hunt, how our dogs fit into the equation, and why hunting is perhaps more important in this "civilized" world than ever before.
