Podcasts about Dehumanization

Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Jan Jekielek spent years as a human rights worker before becoming a journalist — and the story he couldn't stop following eventually became Killed to Order, a New York Times bestselling investigation into China's forced organ harvesting industry. In this conversation, Jan and Wilk focus on a question at the center of both the book and the show: what does dehumanization actually produce when it's allowed to run all the way to its logical end? Jan explains how the Chinese Communist Party has refined what he calls a "black class" system over decades — a machinery of mass propaganda designed to strip targeted groups of their humanity in the public mind, making atrocity not just possible but rational-seeming within the regime's logic. Falun Gong practitioners, who numbered in the tens of millions and practiced truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance, became the primary target — and eventually the primary supply for an organ harvesting system that operates like an industry. One detail from this conversation will stay with you: in China, a wealthy transplant recipient can be matched with a compatible organ in roughly two weeks. In the United States, the wait is months to years. The difference is what powers that system. Jan walks through exactly how it works — and what the evidence looks like after two decades of documentation. This isn't a political episode. It's a human one.

Uncle Si enters his renaissance era with new teeth, new eyes, and a perfectly timed drop-in for a deep dive into the book of James. Jase connects James to the Sermon on the Mount as the guys explore why Jesus traced murder, adultery, and sin all the way back to anger, lust, desire, and the condition of the heart. Si calls James the “action book” and warns that the little things we excuse, from careless words to devaluing others, can grow into something far more serious than we realize. In this episode: Matthew 11, verses 16–19; James 1, verses 13–15; Matthew 5, verses 21–22; James 3, verses 5–6; James 3, verse 9; Genesis 2, verse 24 “Unashamed” Episode 1348 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

S10 E3—The return of the R-word is about more than language. The words we choose both reflect and shape our moral imagination. When disability becomes an insult or a political weapon, it influences how we understand human worth, vulnerability, and belonging. In this conversation, Christina Cipriano, PhD, joins Amy Julia Becker to explore her research on political language and disability, including the return of the R-word. They discuss what these patterns reveal about the systems shaping care, education, and belonging, and they consider: how can we resist dehumanizing language and  choose words that move us toward justice and joy?00:00 Introduction to Disability Discourse Matters06:53 Asset-Based vs. Deficit-Based Perspectives10:27 Personal Narratives and Language Choices19:49 The Rise, Fall, and Rise of the R Word23:42 Dehumanization in Political Rhetoric28:47 Historical Context of Disability Discourse33:00 Disability Language and Future Generations40:48 Reimagining Disability and the Good LifeMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Disability Discourse MattersThe Education Collaboratory at Yale | Child Study CenterSpread the Word – Special OlympicsMontclair University: Use of the Slur [r-word] Triples on X After Elon Musk Shares the Word in a PostBe Unapologetically Impatient by Christina CiprianoEuphemism Treadmill article_SUBSCRIBE to Amy Julia's Substack: amyjuliabecker.substack.comWATCH this conversation on YouTube: Amy Julia Becker on YouTubeJOIN the conversation on Instagram: @amyjuliabeckerLISTEN to more episodes: amyjuliabecker.com/shows/_ABOUT OUR GUEST:Christina Cipriano, PhD, is currently an associate professor of applied developmental and educational psychology at the Yale Child Study Center in the Yale School of Medicine and Director of the Education Collaboratory.

Dr. Mark Ettensohn addresses a question that frequently arises in discussions of narcissism and abuse: Is it possible to maintain accountability without dehumanizing? Can someone preserve firm boundaries without abandoning empathy? Dr. Ettensohn clarifies a distinction he often sees misunderstood. When he speaks about compassion toward pathological narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder, he is referring to a cultural and societal stance, not advising individuals to remain in unsafe or harmful relationships. He emphasizes that safety must always come first. If someone is being harmed, the primary question is not whether the other person “knew what they were doing,” but whether the situation is safe and what steps are necessary to ensure protection. The episode explores the gray area between total innocence and calculated malice. Dr. Ettensohn discusses how dissociation and shifting self states can impair consistent self-awareness in personality disorders, while also making clear that impaired awareness is not the same as blamelessness. He examines how behavior driven by triggered trauma states may later be rationalized from a different organizing center of experience, and why this dynamic is often misinterpreted as deliberate manipulation. Finally, the discussion turns to boundaries. Dr. Ettensohn distinguishes kindness from niceness and empathy from permissiveness, arguing that the most empathic stance can sometimes be a firm refusal of access. The episode concludes by asserting that accountability does not require demonization, and that it is possible to reject harmful behavior without reducing a person to a monster.

In this episode of No Way, Jose!, host Jose Galison welcomes journalist Matt Wolfson for another installment of their weekly series, The Weekly Wolfson. Titled “NWJ816 - The Dehumanization of Semites,” the conversation plays with the fact that both Arabs and Jews/Israelis are Semites, while exploring how dehumanization flows in multiple directions. Jose and Matt examine the ways Western journalists have framed the conflict and contributed to this paradigm, drawing directly from Matt's recent piece in Almayadeen, “Colonization in print: How Western Liberal journalists distort Lebanon and Palestine.”They also take a realistic look at groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, moving past simplistic labels to discuss what these organizations actually are, how they function, and the consequences of the narratives built around them. Sharp, candid, and grounded in geopolitics and ethnopolitics, this episode cuts through the noise and challenges listeners to rethink the stories being told about the region.Read Matt's Work: https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/colonization-in-print--how-western-liberal-journalists-distoPlease consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

In this somber and intense edition of What's On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn grapple with the disturbing aftermath of the third major assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in two years. The duo explores the "political sickness" sweeping the nation, questioning if the extreme rhetoric from political leaders and late-night hosts has made political violence inevitable. The conversation dives deep into the "dumbed down" state of American discourse, the collapse of trust in national institutions, and the alarming findings of widespread SNAP benefit fraud involving luxury vehicle owners. From breaking news on the second indictment of former FBI Director James Comey to the latest "Trooper Talk" with the North Dakota Highway Patrol, this episode pulls no punches on the state of the union. Standout Moments [00:00:05] – How Does This End? Scott opens the show with a heavy heart, discussing the dehumanization of President Trump. He questions if the escalating rhetoric of "maximum warfare" and labeling the president a "dictator" has reached a point where an assassination is the desired outcome for some on the left. [00:02:66] – The Jimmy Kimmel "Expectant Widow" Excuse The hosts tear into Jimmy Kimmel's explanation of his controversial joke about Melania Trump. Kevin, from a comedic perspective, analyzes why the monologue wasn't just a "light roast" but a corrosive part of the current political divide. [00:04:33] – The Dumbing Down of America Grand Forks caller Ron offers a bleak assessment of the country, discussing foreign infiltration into the judicial system and the "endless" cycle of corruption that he believes has taken the nation past the point of no return. [00:05:04] – Trooper Talk: Spring Safety & Reckless Riders Captain Brian Ewen of the North Dakota Highway Patrol joins to discuss spring road safety. He addresses the myths of loud mufflers as safety features and explains what "reasonable suspicion" looks like for a traffic stop. [00:15:00] – Ben Shapiro on Rotted Institutions The show features an extensive, insightful segment from a Ben Shapiro speech regarding the collapse of trust in the media, academia, and science. Shapiro explains how "emotivisim"—attributing nefarious motives to anyone you disagree with—is the death of politics. [00:30:60] – Shameless Raids in the Twin Cities Scott and Kevin react to Governor Tim Walz taking credit for federal raids on Somali fraud centers in Minnesota, while reporting suggests state agencies were actually far behind the DOJ and FBI in taking…

Have you ever felt like the traditional version of Christianity sounds more like an abusive relationship than a message of love? Today, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford tackle a viral critique of the faith and dive deep into what it actually means to pray for God's will to be done on earth. This conversation moves past the idea of God as a cosmic tyrant to rediscover a Jesus who invites us into a better way of being human.In this episode, we explore the tension between our human will and the divine will, moving past the "fire insurance" version of the gospel that many are rightfully rejecting. We discuss why the church often fails by trying to "polish up" Jesus instead of letting his voice stand on its own. We also break down the phrase "on earth as it is in heaven," challenging the common belief that Christianity is just about escaping this world for a disembodied afterlife. Instead, we look at how heaven is invading earth to restore our humanity and the image of God within us. From the historical context of Gehenna to the surprising connection between holiness and the joy of play, this episode is a deep dive into the heart of the Lord's Prayer. We tackle the hard questions about suffering, judgment, and why the truth coming to light is actually the best news possible.Chapters0:00 Intro and the Best Friends Podcast3:45 Reading a Viral Critique of Christianity8:20 Why People are Walking Away from the Church13:10 Stop Trying to Dress Up Jesus18:15 Thy Will Be Done: The Heart of the Prayer23:50 Two Major Misunderstandings of Surrender28:40 Does God Cause Suffering and Cancer?34:15 Heaven is a Status, Not Just a Place39:30 Why Divine Judgment is Actually Good News45:10 The Truth About Hell and Gehenna51:00 Dehumanization vs. the Image of God56:45 Tasting New Creation Through Play and Community1:01:20 Previewing the Exodus and Daily BreadAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, director Kenya-Jade Pinto discusses THE SANDBOX and the inspiration behind the documentary. She reflects on the idea that “it's only when those experiments outgrow the sandbox that you see what they really are,” exploring society's willingness to hand over control to technology. Kenya-Jade also examines how technological systems can exacerbate the dehumanization of oppressed communities, highlighting the ethical and human implications at the heart of the film.THE SANDBOX premieres at Hot Docs '26 on April 26th, 2026.

In this episode of the podcast, I spoke with Antón Barba-Kay, a philosopher and scholar whose life includes time as a student at St. John's College and as a professor at Deep Springs College. As a scholar, Antón has focused on exploring how the internet and digital technology in general have come to shape our inner lives and our experiences of reality. Rooted in classical and German philosophy, Dr. Barba-Kay engages with questions of aesthetics and interior formation as he articulates a view of digital technology as a "natural technology" - i.e. "a technology so intuitive as to conceal the extent to which it transforms our attention" and our sense of self. This has obvious implications for the design and practice of education, which Dr. Barba-Kay is uniquely placed to explore.Antón Barba-Kay is a fellow at the Carr-Ryan Center at the Harvard Kennedy School, a senior fellow at the Institute for Practical Ethics at UC San Diego, and a distinguished fellow at the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law. He received a B.A. from St. John's College, a B.A. in classics from Cambridge University, and a PhD from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago; he has been (tenured) Associate Professor of Philosophy at Catholic University and taught at Deep Springs from 2020-24 (two of those years as Robert B. Aird Chair of Humanities). In addition to his scholarly publications in nineteenth-century German philosophy, his essays about culture and technology have appeared in The New Republic, The Atlantic, The New Atlantis, Dissent , The Hedgehog Review, and The Point, among other magazines. A Web of Our Own Making: The Nature of Digital Formation –his book about what the internet is and what a difference it makes–was published in 2023 by Cambridge University Press.A Web of Our Own Making: The Nature of Digital Formation - https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/web-of-our-own-making/92F7F830EBEC409F05A526E64DDD1D9DDeep Springs College: https://www.deepsprings.edu/St. John's College: https://www.sjc.edu/

She was 3 feet away from her own "Missing" poster. For 273 days, Elizabeth Smart was a "living ghost." Forced to watch her parents sob on the nightly news while her captor laughed, she survived a 9-month descent into total dehumanization. From the stomach-turning rituals to the near-rescues that failed.

In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer is joined by John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center, to discuss the Truth Rising Project—a collaboration between the Colson Center and Focus on the Family. John explains how Truth Rising emerged from a growing realization: many of the cultural “hypotheticals” Christians debated decades ago have become lived realities. The project frames our moment as what Oz Guinness calls a civilizational moment—a tipping point where cultures become “clipped off” from the roots that once animated them, often leading to decline, upheaval, or (rarely) renewal. A key theme in the conversation is the difference between faithfulness and effectiveness. James presses the question: What happens when faithfulness doesn’t seem to “work”? John responds by grounding Christian hope not in saving Western civilization, but in the resurrection of Jesus Christ—and echoes Chuck Colson’s memorable line: “Despair is a sin.” Not because outcomes are guaranteed to improve, but because Christ is risen and his kingdom is the true story of the world. The discussion then turns to cultural destabilization, dehumanization, and what it looks like to live “against the grain of reality.” John and James reflect on the way ideas produce real-world consequences—how societies can treat moral realities like “speed limits” (negotiable) when they function more like “gravity” (inescapable). Finally, John highlights stories featured in Truth Rising—especially Jack Phillips and Chloe Cole—as examples of courage and costly faithfulness in public life. The episode closes with a practical invitation: Truth Rising is free, designed to equip Christians and churches to live with hope, clarity, and conviction in this moment. Key topics bullets Why Colson Center + Focus on the Family launched Truth Rising Oz Guinness and the idea of a “civilizational moment” Faithfulness vs. effectiveness—and why hope is rooted in resurrection “Despair is a sin” (Chuck Colson) and the logic of Christian hope Dehumanization, identity confusion, and cultural decline Truth vs. “renegotiated reality”: gravity vs. speed limits Jack Phillips, Chloe Cole, and the cost of courageous obedience How to access the free documentary and 8-part study You can find out more about the Truth Rising project at https://www.truthrising.com.

What has to happen inside a mother's mind for her to look at her own child and see a demon?Tylee Ryan's last photo was taken at Yellowstone on September 8, 2019. She was dead within twenty-four hours, according to investigators. Her remains were found burned and dismembered in Chad Daybell's backyard.Her mother's explanation to friends? Tylee had "gone dark." She was a "zombie."This is Part 3 of "The Chosen Ones," our psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we analyze how spiritual language becomes a weapon — and the systematic process by which people are stripped of their humanity in high control religion.According to testimony, Chad Daybell taught that demons could possess people and turn them into "zombies." Once someone was labeled, they were no longer protected by normal moral rules. You weren't killing a person. You were destroying a shell.Charles Vallow was renamed "Ned" and killed. Tylee was declared "dark" and killed. JJ — seven years old, autistic — became a "zombie" and was killed.This episode examines the mechanics of dehumanization — a pattern found in toxic churches and high control religions worldwide.Have you ever been labeled and cast out? The vocabulary changes, but the structure is always the same.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The last photograph of Tylee Ryan was taken at Yellowstone. September 8, 2019. She's sixteen. She's smiling.Within a day, investigators believe she was dead. Her remains were found nine months later — burned and dismembered in Chad Daybell's backyard.Her mother's explanation, according to friends who testified? Tylee had "gone dark."This is Part 3 of "The Chosen Ones," Hidden Killers' 5-part psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we examine the moment a child becomes "other" in a parent's mind — and the spiritual language that made it possible.According to testimony, Chad Daybell's labeling started with Charles Vallow. Chad Daybell told Lori her husband was possessed by a demon named "Ned." She stopped using his name. Seven days after he was killed, she texted about the life insurance: "Ned probably changed it before we got rid of him."Then came the children. Tylee questioned her mother's beliefs — and was declared "dark." JJ needed more care than Lori wanted to give — and became a "zombie."Both buried in Chad Daybell's backyard. Both killed by people who believed they weren't really killing children — just destroying the demons that had taken them over.This is how dehumanization works in high control religion. You create a category. You assign people to it. And then the rules that protect humans don't apply anymore.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What does it cost a person to go unseen? And what does it ask of us to truly see one another? In this solo reflection, Corey Nathan explores the moral weight of being seen and the deliberate cruelty of being made invisible. From Marilynne Robinson's Lila to Muhammad Ali's thundering "What's my name?" to Mother Teresa's gaze upon the discarded, this episode traces a thread that runs through literature, history, jazz, and the headlines of this particular moment. When Attorney General Pam Bondi turned her back on Jeffrey Epstein's survivors, when federal agents hide behind masks while the faces of those they detain are photographed and published, when a president plasters his name above John F. Kennedy's, these are not isolated incidents. They are a pattern. And naming that pattern is where the work begins. What would it mean to choose differently? To look at one another the way John Ames looked at Lila? To call each other by our own names?

Marilynne Robinson's Lila captures this with devastating precision: the way genuine recognition can feel terrifying to someone who has only ever been seen as a body to be used. When Power Weaponizes Invisibility Pam Bondi sat before Congress with her back to Jeffrey Epstein's survivors. Federal agents conceal their identities behind masks while those they detain are pictured and named. Those killed in lethal operations are reduced to labels. The pattern Colonel David Lapan identified is not accidental: those with power choose who remains invisible and who is exposed. What's My Name Muhammad Ali didn't just fight Ernie Terrell in 1967. He demanded to be known on his own terms, not by a name others had assigned him. The jazz musicians of the 1940s did the same thing, quietly and subversively, by calling each other "man" in a culture that called Black men "boy." To name someone is to acknowledge their humanity. The Counterexamples From Mother Teresa to David Brooks to Vaclav Havel, this episode draws on voices who understood what it means to see and be seen, as well as why that capacity is never merely symbolic. It is the foundation of moral culture. The Challenge to the Church As a Christian, Corey wrestles honestly with a hard number: more than two-thirds of white evangelicals continue to support an administration whose record on human dignity, as described in this episode, is difficult to square with the gospel. What We Can Choose None of us can single-handedly reshape national politics. But we can choose how we see each other. We can turn around and see those this administration will not. Why This Matters Now The daily acts of seeing, naming, and beholding are not symbolic gestures. They are the building blocks of moral culture. And when those in authority systematically exploit the need to be seen or weaponize anonymity to strip others of their humanity, the response can't only be political. It has to be personal.

Send a textWhen people are being targeted, “neutral” isn't neutral.In this urgent message, Pastor Dan Minor exposes a tactic as old as history: strip people of dignity, and harm starts to sound reasonable. You'll hear why the phrase “I don't like what's happening, but…” should set off alarms, and why the church's instinct to “wait for all the facts” can become a permission slip for cruelty.Dan also reclaims a word many of us have seen misused: honor. Not honor as silence. Not honor as compliance. Not honor as protecting institutions. But honor as Jesus taught it — publicly recognizing someone's full humanity and acting like it matters.This episode is both a wake-up call and a practical blueprint: refusing neutrality when it benefits the powerful, turning our attention toward those being erased, and living at the urgency of love — not just in posts, but in priorities, relationships, and everyday choices.#ChooseCompassion #ProtectTheVulnerable #LoveYourNeighbor #DoJustice #MercyAndTruth #HumanFirst #FaithThatWorks  Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

When Dehumanisation Comes Home — HoCoSo Conversation (13 January 2026)In this compelling episode of the HoCoSo Conversation, host Jay Humphries and psychotherapist/philosopher Dr. Andreas Schreiber explore the language, framing, and institutional dynamics that shape our collective understanding of justice, power, and human dignity.Recorded on 13 January 2026, this conversation takes a thoughtful turn into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old American citizen who was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis during a large enforcement operation earlier that month. Video evidence, official statements, and private autopsy reports — some released after the recording — have produced deeply divergent public narratives about what happened. Minnesota officials, community members, and legal observers continue to raise questions about accountability and transparency, and at least one federal prosecutor reportedly resigned in protest over investigative decisions. Using this case as a starting point — and recorded before subsequent incidents, including another fatal shooting of Alex Pretti — the episode examines how dehumanisation appears in language and policy, how public discourse can shift blame and narrow empathy, and how these processes can erode trust in institutions. The discussion also extends to broader themes, including the rise of artificial intelligence, future socioeconomic structures such as universal income, and what they might mean for human identity and purpose.This episode is not about simple answers or partisanship. It is about patterns of language, power, and permission — and the crucial question of what is required to defend human dignity in an increasingly complex world.For more details on Dr. Andreas Schreiber:www.curavitae.euwww.curavitae.eu/logotherapie-existenzanalyse00:00 Introduction to the HoCoSo Conversation01:41 The Renee Good Case: A Shocking Investigation03:21 ICE Agents and Community Tensions04:33 The Shooting Incident: A Detailed Account07:15 Media Spin and Public Reaction10:32 Dehumanization and Its Consequences19:08 Historical Parallels and Modern Implications28:08 Captain Mark Kelly's Stand for Democracy30:55 Iranian Regime's Tactics of Fear31:43 US Hypocrisy and Military Actions32:35 Civilian Casualties and Global Reactions36:03 The Power of Language in Shaping Reality48:40 Dehumanization and the Role of AI49:41 Universal Income and Human Purpose51:32 Potential Consequences of a Controlled Society01:06:29 The Importance of Words in Preventing Dehumanization01:07:23 Conclusion and Call to ActionFollow us on Instagram: @hocosoconversation and Linkedin: HoCoSo Conversation

This solo episode of The Ern & Iso Show takes a serious turn.Stepping away from hip-hop, sports, and surface-level debates, Ern opens an important conversation about power, federal authority, and accountability, centered around ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and its growing presence inside U.S. cities.Using real-world incidents, including the January 2026 Minneapolis shooting involving a U.S. citizen during an ICE operation, Ern breaks down what ICE actually is, how it operates, and why many people don't fully understand the authority it holds.This is not propaganda and not a political endorsement. It's an informational, perspective-driven discussion about federal power, sanctuary cities, civil rights, dehumanization, and what happens when enforcement feels more like intimidation.“The Ice Cream Man Is Coming” is about asking uncomfortable questions:Who holds power?Who checks it?And who pays the price when it goes unchecked?00:00 – IntroductionSetting the tone and explaining why this episode steps away from hip-hop and sports.03:10 – What This Episode Is Really About: PowerWhy ICE and federal authority need to be understood, not ignored.06:40 – What ICE Is (and Isn't)Breaking down ICE, its creation after 9/11, and how it differs from Border Patrol.10:55 – ICE's Federal Authority ExplainedWhy cities can't simply “kick ICE out,” even in sanctuary cities.15:20 – The Minneapolis Incident (January 2026)Discussing the ICE operation that resulted in the death of a U.S. citizen and why it sparked nationwide protests.21:30 – When Enforcement Feels Like OccupationCommunity reactions, protests, and the word many residents used: “occupied.”27:10 – Sanctuary Cities vs Federal PowerWhy refusing cooperation isn't the same as stopping ICE.32:40 – Different Cities, Different RealitiesHow experiences with ICE vary depending on where you live.38:20 – Can You Support the Law and Still Question Tactics?Why believing in immigration law doesn't mean ignoring abuses of power.43:50 – Dehumanization and Public PerceptionHow language, fear, and stereotypes make mistreatment feel “justified.”50:10 – Black Perspective & AuthorityWhy historical experiences shape how communities respond to federal force.56:30 – Politics, Division, and the New American ConflictWhy left vs right framing misses the bigger issue.1:03:00 – Who's Next?The slippery slope question no one wants to ask out loud.1:09:20 – Final Thoughts: Accountability Over SilenceWhy trust is built with answers, not authority.1:12:40 – OutroClosing message and call for conversation.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS

In this episode, I sit down with Nathan Clarkson, author of I'm the Worst, for an honest conversation about brokenness, shame, confession, and freedom. Nathan shares what it was like growing up in a well-known Christian family, learning how to perform moral goodness while hiding the parts of himself he didn't know how to face, and how confronting that reality became the beginning of healing rather than the end of the story. We talk about moral superiority, cancel culture, and the ways fear turns both politics and church life into tribes instead of communities. We also dig into the difference between shame and conviction, why confession and forgiveness matter so much for spiritual formation, and how dehumanization always leads to harm. This conversation is for anyone who is tired of polarized Christianity and is looking for a more honest, freeing, and love-shaped way forward.Nathan Clarkson is the author of I'm the Worst, and an award-winning actor, a Netflix-trending filmmaker, and best-selling author of several books, including Different and Uniquely You. He is a podcast philosopher on the award-winning show The Overthinkers. Nathan writes regularly on the intersection of faith and culture for the Patheos column Cross Cultural and has been featured in outlets such as the Today Show, LA Times, Variety, and Relevant Magazine.

#679: Will you still have a job in five years? Zack Kass, former OpenAI executive and 16-year AI veteran, joins us to tackle the question that keeps knowledge workers up at night. Most people worry about the economics — who can pay the bills if AI takes their job? Kass flips the question: What happens when work no longer defines who you are? He argues we're heading for an identity crisis bigger than any economic disruption. In this conversation, Kass explains why everyone wants everyone else's job automated (faster legal services, cheaper healthcare) but nobody wants their own work to disappear. He shares why some jobs will vanish while others explode in demand, and which professions might actually benefit from AI disruption. You'll discover why the real threat isn't job loss — it's that we've become addicted to our devices and forgotten how to live without constant work. Kass reveals how financial illiteracy keeps people trapped in debt cycles that AI could help break. He explains why housing, healthcare, and education costs stay high while everything else gets cheaper, and what might finally change that dynamic. The conversation explores what happens when AI makes basic needs affordable for everyone. Kass predicts some people will pursue passion projects, others will double down on work, and many will struggle to answer a simple question: What do you actually want to do with your day? We discuss practical realities like how a 53-year-old attorney might reinvent herself, why accountants face bigger challenges than lawyers, and which human skills will become more valuable as machines get smarter. Kass shares his theory about competing on kindness rather than intelligence when AI can outthink us all. This isn't another doom-and-gloom AI prediction. Kass makes a compelling case that automation could free us to rediscover community, creativity, and purpose … if we can get past our addiction to both work and screens long enough to imagine what that life looks like.

On the last Angry Planet of 2025, novelist and Marine Corps veteran Phil Klay returns to reflect on a year of spectacle and cruelty.Between the Pentagon's boat strikes and the administration's constant barrage of grotesque memes, it feels like America is a crueler and cruder place. For better and worse, the Presidency sets a moral standard for the country and Trump has lowered that standard. Klay wrote about all this in a piece at The New York Times and he's here with us today to talk through it.“It's too easy to condemn.”The project is spectacles of cruelty“You're not supposed to be joining a gang of thugs.”What is this doing to us as a nation?The lust for cruelty and dominationKlay's review of Hegseth's first yearWar vs. Defense“Read long things.”Living in the Hell of opinionsEnding on a high noteWhat Trump Is Really Doing With His Boat StrikesTrump Admin's Racist Halo Memes Are ‘A New Level of Dehumanization of Immigrants'Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists.

When Jonathan Dickinson washed ashore in Florida in the late 1600s, history books told us to expect brutality, suffering… and cannibals.But what if that's not what actually happened?In this episode of This Is Legends of Yesterday, we unravel the strange contradictions surrounding Dickinson's shipwreck and his encounters with Florida's Indigenous people—who, according to his own account, treated him not as prey, but as a human being. So where did the cannibal legend come from? And why did this story become the version that survived?Join us as we question colonial narratives, separate fear from fact, and explore the uncomfortable possibility that history may have gotten this one very, very wrong.Ghostly? Not this time.Unsettling? Absolutely.True?

Pastor and author Bob Fabey shares a moment that changed the way he sees people forever — when an elderly woman collapsed in a grocery store and shoppers literally stepped over her to check out. Host Julie Rose and Father Fabey explore why fear, inconvenience, and social conditioning keep us from stopping, even when we know someone needs help. From everyday moments of discomfort to the devastating consequences of dehumanization, this conversation examines what happens when we stop seeing people as people.

Some previous grant research revealed the importance of accounting for dehumanization in interreligious conflict, and this was confirmed by the work of the late neuroscientist Emile Bruneau who encouraged those working in peacemaking to account for elements like this. My work in monster theory also played a part in my understanding, and therefore I was pleased to find David Livingstone Smith account for this in his book Making Monsters: The Uncanny Power of Dehumanization (Harvard University Press, 2021).  In this podcast, Smith and I dive down into a specific element of dehumanization which he has called "demonizing dehumanization."

Too many men today aren't struggling because they lack information. They're struggling because they're drowning in noise. And, I think it's time we start unpacking why the "modern masculinity" space has become obsessed with hot takes, call-outs, online outrage, and performative "accountability" - and why none of it builds strong men, meaningful connection, or lasting improvement. Today I'm joined by my friend, Jack Donovan, to talk about why gossip masquerades as moral authority, how "calling men out" often replaces real accountability, the difference between integrity, honor, and reputation, why social media rewards division, not leadership, the dangers of pedestalizing others—and why men need a code to live by.

Today we have the pleasure of hosting Love & Life favorite David Wayne to discuss the intersection of faith, mental health, and the devastating ways Big Pharma impacts those seeking help. We discuss the spiritual awakening that many have experienced over the last 5 years, the challenges of navigating the mental health system, and the importance of emotional connection and self-empowerment in recovery. * The mental health system often perpetuates harm rather than healing.* How labels dehumanize people seeking help.* How SSRIs numb our emotions. * The importance of our emotions as we heal.* How hope and self-empowerment are essential for recovery.* And much more!Enjoy the conversation and we pray that it meets you wherever you are on your journey towards wholeness and healing.

Summary In this conversation, S. Anthony Thomas explores the theme of indifference in relationships, detailing how it manifests and the emotional consequences it brings. He discusses the gradual decline of feelings in a relationship, leading to indifference, and how this can result in dehumanization of partners. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's humanity and the need for respect in relationships to avoid the pitfalls of indifference. Takeaways Indifference can creep into relationships gradually. Dehumanization occurs when partners stop caring for each other. Indifference leads to a lack of emotional pain, which can be dangerous. When you dehumanize someone, you also damage your own humanity. Conflict can arise from indifference and lack of respect. It's important to communicate and address issues before they escalate. Indifference can lead to infidelity and emotional detachment. Respecting each other's humanity is crucial in relationships. Before acting out of anger, consider the consequences. Ending a relationship respectfully is better than becoming indifferent   Sound bites "You don't feel the pain anymore." "You don't become who you're supposed to be!" "Indifference never is."

The effects of Charlie Kirk's public murder continue to emerge. What are the patterns we—my friend Mark and I—are recognizing that follow in the wake of Kirk's assassination? Was the murderous shooter just a lone nut? Is society's Overton Window closing? Why is the Left inciting such violence? And then here's one for you: when should you move to another town or state? Is it a lack of trust in God to pick up and move? (Why did Ed's ancestors move out of Eastern Europe?) How does false piety get in the way of wisdom about staying or leaving a given place? At bare minimum we are seeing a public hatred of authority and an intentional Balkanization of America (and the church) taking place. Will Charlie Kirk's murder cause the frog to leap out of the boiling kettle? Come think and laugh with me and Mark!

“Migration is grace,” says UCLA professor Robert Chao Romero, author of Brown Church: Five Centuries of Latina/o Social Justice, Theology, and Identity. In this episode, he joins Mark Labberton to discuss the immigration crisis through stories from Southern California, theology of migration, and the challenge of Christian nationalism for the American response to the immigration crisis we face. Romero narrates heartbreaking accounts of ICE raids, racial profiling, and dehumanization, while also offering hope rooted in scripture and the early church. He points out the “Xenodochias” of the ancient and medieval church that cared for migrants. And he shows how biblical narratives—from Abraham to Jesus—reveal God's mercy in migration. Romero calls Christians to see the image of God in migrants, resist the “Latino threat narrative,” and reclaim the church's historic role in welcoming the stranger. Episode Highlights “Migration is grace. … You wouldn't have a Bible without migration.” “Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders, and he rose to new life among outsiders.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation… it is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need.” “This level of targeting of the Latino community has not happened since 1954 and Operation Wetback.” “We think that crossing the US border is like crossing the Jordan into the promised land, and we're baptized into the Yankee Doodle song.” Helpful Links and Resources Brown Church by Robert Chao Romero UCLA César E.

In this urgent episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano examines the assassination of conservative icon and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. What does this mean for free speech, political violence, and America's future. Professor Giordano explores how Kirk died doing the most American thing possible, spoke freely and debated ideas, and exposes how reckless political rhetoric from calling opponents Nazis to claiming democracy is dying fuels hatred and violence. With historical perspective and a passionate call to defend free expression, this episode reveals why protecting debate is critical to preserving the Republic.   Episode Highlights How Charlie Kirk's assassination underscores the stakes for free speech and peaceful debate in America Why extreme political rhetoric and demonization of opponents ignite violence and threaten democracy Lessons from America's history of political violence and how the nation can emerge stronger today

Tuesday Afternon Twitter/X Space 5 August 2025In this space, we explore the multifaceted concept of privilege and its societal implications, blending personal experiences with historical analysis. Stefan emphasizes the ability of privileged individuals to avoid consequences for poor choices while contrasting this with the struggles of those without such advantages. Through discussions on entitlement and dehumanization, the lecture critiques power dynamics from historical figures to modern leaders, illustrating how societal narratives often obscure the contributions of those in lower social classes. The impact of appreciation in personal relationships is highlighted as crucial for equality, warning against exploitative dynamics rooted in neglect. Contemporary issues surrounding gender roles and labor contributions are examined, culminating in a call for greater recognition of shared humanity and mutual respect in discourse about privilege.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Todd and Cathy share the upcoming changes to their podcast, Zen Parenting Radio, which will be renamed Zen POP Parenting starting June 1st! They also discuss the normal shifts in kids' friendships, highlighting the importance of loyalty, boundaries, and the reality that friendships evolve. As parents, we can feel more overwhelmed than our kids when these changes happen, but it's important to normalize the ups and downs of friendships and offer support without letting our own fear or discomfort take over.
