El latín está en la esencia cultural de occidente. Durante siglos, fue la lingua franca que permitió a científicos de distintas naciones comunicarse sin barreras. Copérnico, Galileo, Newton y Descartes compartieron un mismo código que hizo posible la Revolución científica. Europa se construyó sobre el derecho romano y sin el latín, la identidad europea carecería de su estructura lógica y de la cohesión histórica que permitió el Renacimiento y la Ilustración. Hemos entrevistado a Pablo Toribio y Cristina Tur, autores del libro “El latín en Europa” (CSIC-Catarata). El róver Perseverance de la NASA sigue desvelando los secretos de la geología marciana en el cráter Jezzero, con un estudio similar al que se haría en la Tierra. Jesús Martínez Frías, coautor de la investigación, nos ha explicado como los resultados muestran un escenario fluvio-lacustre, que revela la importancia del agua en el planeta Rojo. Con Fernando Blasco hemos hablado de cómo un programa de IA ha solucionado un problema que traía de cabeza a Donald Knuth, una de las personas más influyentes en la historia de la informática. Eva Rodríguez nos ha contado un estudio internacional que advierte de que casi un tercio de la población adulta mundial no alcanza los niveles mínimos recomendados de ejercicio, y el hallazgo de una red comercial milenaria que transportaba loros vivos de la Amazonia a la costa andina. Hemos reseñado los libros “Quantum. Einstein, Bohr y el gran debate sobre la naturaleza de la realidad”, de Manjit Kumar (Taurus); “Mapmática, mapas y matemáticas para entender el mundo”, de Paulina Rowinska (geoPlaneta), y “El espejo de la imaginación. ¿Qué es la consciencia?”, de Ignacio Morgado (Ariel). Hemos informado de la celebración, los días 18 y 19 de marzo, de UPM INVESTIGA, la primera feria global de investigación de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid; y de las actividades de ACIERTAS en la Feria Madrid es Ciencia, del 19 al 21 de marzo.Escuchar audio

Tout part d'un déjeuner avec Pablo Servigne — chercheur sur les effondrements, que j'avais reçu quelques semaines plus tôt sur VLAN. Une conversation qui dérive vers la géopolitique, les polycrises, le contexte général. J'utilise le mot "chaos" comme je le fais tout le temps, dans mes newsletters, mes conférences, mes conversations quotidiennes. Et Pablo me regarde avec un sourire tranquille et me dit : "Mais tu parles du chaos comme si c'était un problème. La vie, elle danse toujours au bord du chaos." Quelques secondes de silence. Et la réalisation que j'utilisais peut-être ce mot depuis des années avec une erreur fondamentale dedans. Dans cet épisode, je vous parle de ce que j'ai découvert en creusant cette phrase : l'étymologie grecque du chaos, les travaux de Stéphane Gastello sur les systèmes dynamiques, la théorie du chaos des carrières de Robert Pryor et Jim Bright, Roy Bird sur la vie comme phénomène chaotique, Michael Conrad sur l'adaptabilité, Donna Brother sur l'anxiété cartésienne, Hartmut Rosa sur l'accélération sociale et la résonance manquée, Byung-Chul Han sur la transparence, Matthew Welsh sur la responsabilité adaptative, Viktor Frankl sur le sens — et Cécile Wendling, que je reçois cette semaine sur VLAN, qui m'a rappelé que le mot "crise" lui-même est une construction sociale qui génère ses propres angles morts. J'ai questionné tout ce que je pensais savoir sur notre rapport collectif à l'imprévisible : pourquoi notre cerveau traite l'incertitude comme une menace mortelle, ce qui distingue vraiment les systèmes qui s'effondrent de ceux qui se transforment, et ce que la recherche dit concrètement sur comment naviguer dans ce qui, par nature, ne sera jamais stable. Ce n'est pas du développement personnel. C'est plus fondamental que ça. CITATIONS MARQUANTES 1. "La vie, elle danse toujours au bord du chaos."— Pablo Servigne (rapporté par Grégory, 01:48) 2. "Le chaos, ce n'est pas l'opposé de l'ordre. C'est le processus par lequel l'ordre émerge, de façon non planifiée."— Grégory Pouy (08:49) 3. "On ne souffre pas du chaos, on souffre du fait que le chaos n'est pas ce que nous pensions que le monde devrait être."— Grégory Pouy (13:09) 4. "La fourmilière n'est pas construite malgré l'absence de plan central — elle est construite précisément grâce à cette absence."— Grégory Pouy (09:37) 5. "Les individus, les collectifs qui traverseront le mieux ces turbulences, ce ne seront pas ceux qui auront eu les meilleurs plans. Ce seront ceux qui auront développé la capacité à naviguer dans l'incertitude."— Grégory Pouy (49:19) BIG IDEAS 1. Le chaos n'est pas le désordre — c'est la condition du vivant [05:20 – 08:49]KHAOS en grec = vide primordial, espace de possibilités pures. Au sens scientifique (Gastello), le chaos désigne des dynamiques précises qui génèrent des structures stables — les fractales, le rythme cardiaque sain, la croissance des arbres. Le chaos n'est pas l'opposé de l'ordre : c'est le processus par lequel l'ordre émerge.Pourquoi c'est important :Toute la façon dont on traite l'imprévisible est fondée sur une erreur de définition. On combat ce qui est, en réalité, la condition de base de la vie. 2. Notre cerveau est biologiquement câblé pour traiter l'incertitude comme une menace mortelle [10:36 – 13:09]L'amygdale ne distingue pas un lion d'une incertitude professionnelle. L'anxiété cartésienne (Donna Brother) ajoute une couche culturelle : depuis Descartes, la certitude est l'idéal. On souffre donc deux fois — de l'incertitude réelle, et de la croyance qu'elle ne devrait pas exister.Pourquoi c'est important :Comprendre l'origine biologique et culturelle de notre rapport au chaos permet d'arrêter de se battre contre soi-même, avant même d'agir sur le monde. 3. L'orée du chaos — ni trop stable, ni effondré — c'est là que tout se passe [18:36 – 20:20]Les chercheurs en systèmes complexes ont identifié une zone spécifique d'instabilité intermédiaire ("edge of chaos") où l'innovation émerge, où la créativité devient possible, où les transformations profondes ont lieu. Ni dans la stabilité confortable, ni dans l'effondrement total.Pourquoi c'est important :Cela change radicalement la lecture des périodes de turbulence : ce ne sont pas des anomalies à corriger, ce sont des espaces de transformation réelle. 4. Effondrement ≠ chaos : la distinction que personne ne fait [29:00 – 30:50]Cécile Wendling : tous les systèmes chaotiques ne se réorganisent pas en quelque chose de mieux. Certains s'effondrent. Pablo Servigne : certains scénarios ne produisent pas quelque chose de préférable à ce qui existait. Romantiser le chaos serait une erreur aussi grave que d'en avoir peur.Pourquoi c'est important :Nuance indispensable pour ne pas tomber dans un optimisme naïf ou un relativisme commode face aux vraies crises. 5. Flexibilité > solidité — et la résilience a un coût réel [30:50 – 35:11]Ce qui protège les systèmes face au chaos, ce n'est pas la rigidité mais la capacité à se laisser traverser et réorganiser. Et la résilience — souvent présentée comme un idéal — a un coût corporel réel (charge allostatique) qu'on invisibilise systématiquement.Pourquoi c'est important :Arrêter de vendre la résilience sans mentionner ce qu'elle coûte. Reconnaître que "tenir" n'est pas la même chose qu'"être indemne". 6. L'optimalisme et la joie rebelle comme posture de navigation [43:55 – 45:35]Ni déni ("la tech va tout résoudre"), ni résignation ("on n'y peut rien"). L'optimalisme = regarder lucidement la réalité, y compris ses parties sombres, et agir quand même avec engagement et créativité. La joie rebelle = une discipline, pas une humeur. Un choix, pas un confort.Pourquoi c'est important :C'est la troisième voie que VLAN essaie de tenir depuis le début. Elle s'ancre ici dans une littérature de recherche solide, pas dans un vœu pieux. QUESTIONS POSÉES OU POSABLES 1. Tu utilises le mot "chaos" en permanence — mais qu'est-ce que tu voulais dire par là, avant ce déjeuner avec Pablo ?2. Cette phrase de Pablo — "la vie danse au bord du chaos" — elle t'a arrêté net. Qu'est-ce qui s'est passé dans ta tête à ce moment précis ?3. Comment expliquer que le sens commun du mot "chaos" soit aussi éloigné de son sens scientifique ou étymologique ?4. Le cerveau qui traite l'incertitude comme une menace : est-ce qu'on peut vraiment reconditionner ça, ou est-ce qu'on apprend juste à composer avec ?5. Tu cites Pryor et Bright sur les trajectoires non linéaires. Est-ce que ça voulait dire que planifier est inutile, ou juste qu'il faut changer de rapport au plan ?6. Toi tu as quitté le marketing digital sans plan. C'était du courage, de la naïveté, ou les deux ?7. Où est-ce que tu traces la ligne entre accepter le chaos et se résigner ?8. La résilience a un coût réel — charge allostatique, usure du système nerveux. Comment on en tient compte sans décourager les gens qui "tiennent" ?9. L'optimalisme que tu décris, c'est difficile à tenir dans les périodes de vraie turbulence. Qu'est-ce qui t'y aide concrètement ?10. La joie rebelle — c'est un concept que tu as créé. C'est quoi la différence avec ce qu'on appellerait simplement de la "résilience positive" ?

In the wake of last week's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame episode, Kevin and the Mayor check out documentaries about two of the nominees: Luther Vandross and Jeff Buckley. (Kevin also stumbled upon a 1985 movie starring Tatum O'Neal and Irene Cara that we suspect has never been seen by anyone else ever.) And we brave the mean streets of Allston, Massachusetts (featuring poorly shoveled sidewalks and drunk college kids) to see a couple of wonderful bands: Foxy Shazam (those glam rock maniacs responsible for the Peacemaker opening theme song) and Descartes a Kant (a Mexican quartet with Devo-style costumes and a super-cool retro-futuristic concept album). Plus: The Mayor is a guest on a couple of other podcasts (The Doctor's Beard and The 42cast) to discuss Doctor Who, Witchblade, and perhaps other nerd stuff. The Mayor on The 42cast!

Our guest on this week's episode is Jackson Wood, director of industry strategy, global trade intelligence at Descartes. The United States is now at war with Iran in military actions that have now spread throughout the Middle East. With that part of the world being in major disruption, what are the implications for global transportation, ships moving oil and gas, and just supply chains in general? In an interview with Ben Ames, our guest offers some insights.  Having agility within our supply chains is a crucial way to prepare for unexpected events, whether that is a pandemic or now with the new war in the Middle East. Yet, Victoria Kickham reports on some new research that shows agility is something that many warehouses still struggle to achieve.There are some signs that the long-term freight recession in the trucking sector may be coming to an end. Ben Ames reports on some new statistics that point to some light at the end of the tunnel for carriers.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. The latest series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

In this first part of our latest conversation with Kehlan Morgan of @Formscapes we trace the aether from ancient cosmology to its quiet removal from modern physics. More than a discarded medium for light, the aether once served as the bridge between mind and matter, form and force, perception and law. Its rejection marked a profound philosophical shift from material mediation to abstract formalism and reshaped how reality itself is defined. If the aether refuses to die, it may be because the questions it once posed are as relevant to the modern world of quantum physics as the ancient world of gods and magic.Part 2: https://youtu.be/q7I94A_vvtYPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

La Mettrie fut le philosophe maudit du Siècle des Lumières. Lecteur et critique de Descartes, La Mettrie soutient une thèse fascinante : si Descartes fait une distinction entre le corps et l'âme, c'est surtout parce qu'il veut rester prudent face au pouvoir religieux. La Mettrie va donc prendre le risque d'écrire ce que Descartes n'a pas osé écrire. Ce qui le conduira à redéfinir la notion même de bonheur.➔ Regardez la version vidéo de cet épisode : https://youtu.be/FH2TDimoh7Q➔ Rejoignez-moi sur Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/ParoledephilosopheMembre du Label Tout Savoir.

In this supercharged continuation, Courtenay Turner sits down with Michael King to map a repeatable architecture of influence that operates across eras, institutions, and ideologies. Rather than focusing only on “who did it,” Michael argues for tracking method—how populations get unmoored from inherited certainty, pushed into contradiction, and then offered relief narratives that become default lenses for reality. We explore: skepticism as the first stage of initiation; “controlled dialectics” where visible conflict can be structured toward predictable outcomes; the Enlightenment as a filtering mechanism; the philosophical pipeline from Descartes to Marx; cognitive dissonance as a governance lever; the role of education and “whole child” frameworks; noosphere/Aquarian-era framing as a spiritual UI for consent; and how environments—from the Palais-Royal to modern mass events—can function as initiation-by-ambience. We close with a practical protocol for spotting contradiction traps, definition games, and the soft-power packaging that precedes enforcement. Enjoyed this episode?

According to Professor Hannah Fry, people's lives are enriched by artificial intelligence. It makes problem-solving easier, helps medical diagnosis, and can improve productivity. Yet as she points out in her new BBC2 documentary, AI Confidential, there are risks: that jobs will be lost to AI; that we might lose the bedside care that comes with human diagnosis as machine intelligence takes over. She also warns AI provides what she calls emotional junk food that demands nothing of us, by offering AI romantic partners. And then there's tech grief, highlighted in a recent EastEnders storyline, when video and voice notes are used to create an avatar of a dead character to console his father. Real mourning is put on hold. But it seems to me there's another risky aspect of AI – that it rewrites temptation. Temptation is traditionally thought to be about testing will-power. Take Lent and Ramadan, currently being observed by Christians and Muslims. If a Muslim fasting all day has a little snack at lunchtime, or a Christian giving up sweets for Lent, eats chocolate, they've failed in their discipline. But AI is a different, and remarkable tempter, encouraging people not to fail in some way but take the easier option that in some ways seems sensible. Why read a book, for example, when AI can give you a quick summary, or make the effort to cook for dinner guests when AI can help locate a fancy restaurant in seconds and order a takeaway. And instead of the regret that comes from conventional temptation, AI offers something else. It's all too easy to console yourself that you have done something good. You've saved time. The easy option has advantages. The Desert Fathers – early Christian thinkers who retreated to the desert – did so because they believed a hard life was good for them. They believed it brought them closer to God. And with temptation, even if you give in to it but then regret it you can grow as a person by learning something about yourself. Pope Leo who has expressed concern about the impact of AI on humanity has now urged priests to resist the temptation to use the short cut of AI to write sermons. AI might be clever, but there's something lacking in AI preaching: it doesn't come from the heart. Perhaps this Lent and Ramadan, it might be worth not only giving up something that tests our will, but pondering something that appears helpful yet is temptation on another scale, reducing our need to think. After all, as Descartes said, I think, therefore I am. What am I, if machines have seduced me to do so much less thinking for myself?

Gödel's ontological proof of God's existence, finalized in 1970, constitutes one of the most ambitious attempts to formalize metaphysical theology using modern logic. Rooted in a tradition stretching from Anselm through Descartes and Leibniz, Gödel's argument reformulates the classical ontological proof in higher-order modal logic. Yet its significance extends far beyond theology. When stripped of modalities, Gödel's axioms define an ultrafilter, thereby connecting metaphysical reasoning with foundational set theory and strong axioms of infinity. This talk reconstructs the historical development of ontological arguments, analyzes Gödel's formal system, examines the phenomenon of modal collapse, and explores the unexpected implications for mathematical foundations, showing that consistency of arithmetic and ZFC is a consequence of the ontological proof. It is argued that Gödel's proof should be understood not primarily as a theological demonstration but as a profound structural experiment revealing deep connections between logic, metaphysics, and infinity.**********************************Logica Universalis Webinars2026, February 25

Why do the most profound learning experiences often feel like getting lost in a good game?In this episode, Brian sits down with Christopher Icks, a philosopher, applied linguist, and experiential learning designer, to explore why "play" isn't just for kids—it's a vital engine for deep, transformative learning. From his work at the University of Oregon's CASTLES to his stewardship of Eugene's eclectic Resonance Building, Christopher reveals how we can design spaces and experiences that foster genuine connection, wayfinding, and what he calls "vital surplus."They dive into the tension between rigid institutional metrics and the messy, beautiful reality of how we actually learn. Get ready to question the classroom circle, embrace a little vertigo, and discover why a "Bring Your Own Puppet Party" might just be the future of professional development.

Swami Sarvapriyananda unpacks the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and its central claim: you are not the body, not the mind, not even your thoughts — you are pure consciousness itself. Through rigorous reasoning rather than blind belief, he guides us step by step into a direct inquiry of who we truly are.We explore the limits of faith-based religion, the pitfalls of mystical experience, the distinction between intelligence and consciousness in the age of AI, and the profound implications of non-duality. This conversation is not about adopting a belief system — it is about dismantling false identities until only the undeniable remains.FREE electrolyte sample pack with any purchase @ https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfBON CHARGE - 15% off red light therapy products I personally usehttps://www.boncharge.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]André's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro01:18 What Is Advaita Vedanta06:44 The Promise Freedom From Suffering10:16 Liberation While Living15:09 The Three Spiritual Paths23:38 The Path of Knowledge Jnana Yoga28:42 Discovering Our Ignorance29:49 Descartes and the Indubitable Self32:36 Ad: LMNT34:50 Deconstructing the Self37:18 Are You the Body42:09 From Body to Breath to Mind47:30 AI and the Difference Between Intelligence and Consciousness49:12 Consciousness in Deep Sleep52:23 If Not Body or Mind What Are You53:23 Pure Consciousness Explained55:04 Dualism vs Non Dualism57:42 The Dream Analogy59:17 Maya and the Appearance of the Universe01:00:28 Ocean and Wave Analogy01:01:13 Ad: BON CHARGE01:03:35 The Shift From Person to Awareness01:10:00 Awareness as the Ground of Reality01:18:00 The Root of Suffering01:26:00 Ego Attachment and Fear01:34:00 Living as Pure Awareness01:42:00 Practical Self Inquiry01:50:00 Free Will Karma and Responsibility02:02:00 The Illusion of Individuality02:14:00 Consciousness and Modern Science02:26:00 Death Rebirth and Liberation02:38:00 What Enlightenment Really Means02:50:00 Final Clarifications on Non Duality02:55:00 Closing Reflections___________https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

Autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis have long forced patients to trade daily function for chronic immunosuppression, but Cartesian Therapeutics is betting that its experimental RNA‑engineered CAR T cells can rewrite that equation. The company's lead experimental therapy, Descartes‑08, is designed to deliver deep, durable remissions through a short course of outpatient infusions that selectively eliminate the plasma cells driving disease, while sidestepping the toxicity and logistical hurdles of conventional DNA‑based CAR T therapies. We spoke to Carsten Brunn, CEO of Cartesian Therapeutics, about how the company's RNA‑engineered CAR T cells target the root cause of autoimmune diseases, data from its phase 2 study in myasthenia gravis, and the potential to expand the approach into myositis and other rare autoimmune indications.

Imagine Socrates engaged in a dialogue with a sentient machine—would he marvel at its reasoning or challenge its very essence? In this thought-provoking episode, we unravel the intriguing threads linking ancient philosophical inquiries to today's AI dilemmas. From Aristotle's notions of the intellect to the mind-bending paradoxes of Descartes, we probe whether these ancient thinkers could foresee the rise of machines that might one day claim their own consciousness. As we traverse history's philosophical landscape, prepare to rethink what it means to think, feel, and exist in an age where the lines between man and machine blur.

There was much ado about Spinoza, at least amongst the German rationalists and romantics. In this episode, we're going beyond the metaphysics to talk about the entire purpose of Spinoza's Ethics: the path to human freedom, in which a human being can become liberated from domination of the affects. The way to achieve this, according to Spinoza, is purely through understanding. No willpower or effort is needed: with knowledge alone, one can understand the necessity of all things, and connect the idea of God to all things. This is the intellectual love of God, through which God infinitely loves himself. In this episode, we will also examine the topics of: Spinoza's three types of knowledge; the meaning of "sub species aeternitatis"; Spinoza's difference from Descartes & the Stoics.

Episode: 2555 The brave new world of digitizing books for the Web.  Today, this old book.

Het stoïcisme van Marcus Aurelius wordt omarmd door de manosphere. Op TikTok leggen jongens in korte filmpjes uit hoe je moet leven volgens de dagboeken van de Romeinse keizer. Hoe kijkt een hoogleraar Filosofie naar deze trend? Is het blasfemie van een tweeduizend jaar oude filosofische stroming? Prof. dr. Ronald van Raak is erover te gast in deze Jortcast. Ook heeft hij het over zijn nieuwe boek "Geen land van grote woorden", over de Nederlandse filosofische traditie. Hij vertelt over de invloed op de Newtoniaanse filosofie, Spinoza, Erasmus en Descartes. 

Christendom College welcomed St. Thomas Aquinas expert Dr. Steven Baldner to campus for the latest event in its Collegiate Lecture Series. Baldner, a professor at St. Francis Xavier University, presented the college's annual St. Thomas Aquinas lecture as part of the series, speaking on “Aquinas and Descartes on Creation.”

Le débat philosophique sur l'intelligence artificielle n'est pas seulement une enquête sur les limites de la machine, sur ce qui la différencie de l'humain. Mais peut-être bien l'enquête ultime sur ce qui définit un être humain. L'humain a-t-il une âme immatérielle — ou bien n'est-il qu'une machine consciente ? Une telle question nous oblige à repenser notre propre condition.➔ Regardez la version vidéo de cet épisode : https://youtu.be/kw17fGL-Xdc➔ Rejoignez-moi sur Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/ParoledephilosopheMembre du Label Tout Savoir.

This episode is for the person who knows nothing about philosophy. I have been coming back to this conversation all year, you will be shocked how postmodernism has infected every part of our daily life and culture. The episode features a conversation between Florencia and Bobby Angel, author of the new book "The PostModern Predicament", focusing on the impact of postmodernism on faith, reason, and human dignity. They discuss how postmodern philosophy has influenced culture, politics, and personal beliefs, often leading to a subjective view of truth.In this episode:

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – According to Rene' Descartes, the only thing within our absolute power is our own thinking. Unfortunately, too many are willing to hand that power over social media. In Discourse on the Method, René Descartes acknowledged that “Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.” Taking Aurelius and Descartes together, building the life we want is...

Paul, Karl, Andy, and Jim discuss the role of language in Anselm and its development through Descartes into foundationalism, and pose the idea of personalism, found in Christ, as the resolution to this universal tendency to trade the impersonal for the personal.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

Episode 2.74Can Descartes Escape Solipsism?In this episode, Michael and Zach tackle one of the most common—and serious—objections to Descartes' project: the Thomist charge that radical doubt collapses into solipsism. If all that survives the doubt is “I am a thinking thing,” how do we ever get back to the real world, other minds, or trustworthy knowledge?Rather than stopping at the cogito, this conversation traces Descartes' actual escape strategy, step by step. From the certainty of the thinking self, to contingency, to the necessity of a self-existent God, the discussion focuses on the critical move: God's moral perfection as the foundation for epistemic trust. Without a non-deceptive God, solipsism wins. With one, Descartes claims a narrow—but real—bridge back to reality.Along the way, the episode weighs:-Why Thomists argue Descartes starts in the wrong place-Whether the “Cartesian Circle” is fatal or misunderstood-If moral perfection can legitimately follow from necessity-Why radical doubt is a method, not a lifestyle-Where the real fault line lies between Thomist and Cartesian epistemologyThe conclusion is deliberately careful: Cartesian doubt does not entail solipsism—but it risks it unless its theistic rescue succeeds. The road out is narrow, but it is not imaginary.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/khbWIDw2VcAMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Parry reminds us of the subtle, ancient longing of the soul calling for reunion and wholeness, and that love exists beyond the veils of time and dances outside the confines of space.

On today's WHAT THE TRUCK?!?!, host Malcolm Harris takes a wide-angle look at the forces reshaping freight in 2026, from autonomous trucking and fleet safety to regulation, compliance, and ongoing market volatility. The episode blends breaking industry headlines with two in-depth conversations that explore where trucking is headed and what fleets need to be thinking about right now. The show kicks off with a global freight and logistics roundup, including federal compliance cost cuts for fuel haulers, Allegiant's move into air cargo with Amazon freight, expanding CDL compliance crackdowns in Tennessee, and Louisiana's growing staged truck accident investigation. Malcolm also highlights Purdue University's successful wireless charging test for a heavy-duty truck at highway speeds, Southeastern Freight Lines' expansion into Mexico, and what these developments signal for capacity, safety, and future freight operations. The first featured guest is Don Burnette, Founder and CEO of Kodiak, who joins the show to break down how autonomous trucking has officially moved beyond the demo phase. Don explains how Kodiak's AI-powered trucks are operating in real, driverless commercial service today and why the industry conversation has shifted from if autonomy works to how fast it can scale. The discussion covers Kodiak's partnership with Bosch, the importance of manufacturing-grade hardware, redundancy, and system reliability, as well as how trust is built with fleets, regulators, and the public. Don also offers a realistic perspective on what autonomous trucking solves today, what challenges remain, and how fleets should think about autonomy in a tight and uncertain freight market. Later in the episode, Cyndi Brandt, VP of Fleet Solutions at Descartes, brings a fleet-side view of safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. Cyndi explains why safety risks often begin long before a truck ever hits the road, highlighting the role of planning, dispatch, and unrealistic schedules in creating stress and unsafe driving behaviors. She dives into how congestion, tight delivery windows, and poor route planning show up in real-time fleet data, and why stress is one of the most measurable — and overlooked — safety risks in trucking today. The conversation also explores how telematics, routing tools, and execution data can be used proactively to reduce risk rather than simply monitor compliance.

“Unless I see…” Thomas speaks for us. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore how to believe without seeing in a world that demands proof. We contrast signs and certainties, why God preserves our freedom to trust, and how personal histories shape our “tests” for belief. Practical takeaways: name your criteria honestly, notice the subtle ways God already speaks, and choose trust that leads to action. We hold the three lenses: integrity with ourselves, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasFaith needs freedom: God gives reasons to believe but stops short of coercion; no proof or disproof removes our choice.Signs vs. the Sign: visible wonders can help, but relationship with Christ requires trust that goes beyond optics.Personal filters: temperament, wounds, and stakes change our verification bar—be honest about the tests you set.Learn His voice: like Joseph or Samuel, once you recognize how God speaks to you, cooperation becomes fruitful and steady.Reason serves faith: philosophy can point (Descartes, Hume, Gödel), but revelation invites a response only trust can make.Links & ReferencesScripture named (no links):Thomas and “Blessed are those who have not seen” (John 20:24–29).Healing the paralytic to manifest authority to forgive sins (cf. Mark 2:1–12; Matthew 9:1–8; Luke 5:17–26).The Lord speaking to Samuel (1 Samuel 3).CTAIf this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

On this Monday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, host Malcolm Harris breaks down the biggest headlines shaping the freight and supply chain world—and then sits down with three industry leaders to unpack what 2026 is already throwing at transportation professionals. Andrew Wimer, VP of Strategic Operations at Descartes, kicks things off with a deep dive into freight tech, operational resilience, and why trust with carriers and drivers is more important than ever. He also shares how AI and automation are being used to fix visibility gaps without creating more friction on the road. Lida Zurabashvili, Founder of Freight Freedom, joins the show to share her journey from truck driver to brokerage owner. She talks transparently about building a carrier-first brokerage, fighting fraud and scams in today's market, and why long-term relationships—not quick wins—are the key to sustainable success. Rounding out the episode in studio is Sebastian Waters, Director of Maintenance Services at PLM Fleet. With nearly two decades of experience, Sebastian delivers practical winter maintenance advice for fleets, covering everything from preventive maintenance and reefer reliability to diesel, batteries, and cold-weather readiness. From market pressures and layoffs to freight tech, fleet operations, and broker-carrier trust, this episode is packed with real-world insight for anyone moving freight today.
