Podcasts about dialogos

Have you ever felt adrift in a sea of individualism, yearning for a story larger than your own? In this episode of Dialogos, we confront the erosion of collective narratives and the surge of self-consciousness that shapes our modern existence. We explore how birth control has redefined personal choices and societal frameworks, untangling its subtle influence on the tales we tell ourselves and others.At the heart of our discussion lies a paradox: adopting an identity within a community—most profoundly through the journey of becoming a mother or father—offers a tether to a grander narrative, a sense of purpose beyond the self. Yet, this embrace of the communal comes at a cost: the quiet death of our personal narratives, those self-conscious identities we've so carefully crafted.Join us as we wrestle with these soul-stirring questions: Can parenthood anchor us in a fragmented world, or does it demand the surrender of our individual dreams? How do we reconcile the longing for personal expression with the call of communal belonging? Through the lenses of philosophy and theology, we probe the spiritual ripples of these shifts, seeking to understand what they reveal about our quest for meaning in an age of disconnection.We invite you to step into this Dialogos—a conversation that unearths the tensions and triumphs of identity, community, and sacrifice.

We embrace our hybridity, stare down Lovecraftian Donkey-Dragon hybrids, and enter into true Dialogos.Supplementary Material 2501:06 DTG Grievance Mongering02:25 Book Club Reflections04:09 Important Health and Lifestyle Updates09:51 Andrew Huberman's Trail of Death17:14 Jeff Bezos and Media Control25:04 Another exciting round of Lab Leak Discourse!31:17 Scientific Evidence vs. Public Discourse38:28 Matt and Chris' Respectful Debate44:05 Rewriting of Covid History47:04 Conspiracies and Political Pressure50:40 Eric Weinstein is STILL Waiting for the Call59:41 Pageau considers the Lovecraftian Horrors of Sesame Street01:07:17 Sarah Haider (Re)Invents 'Pioneer Traditionalism'01:11:36 Chris Williamson's annual pilgrimage to the Khan01:12:37 Fact Checking Bullshit with Eric Weinstein01:17:16 Breathless Reactions to New Pyramid Theories01:22:59 Credulity Checking with Matt's Son01:24:40 Cruel Racist Attacks on Poor Graham Hancock from the Devil Flint Dibble01:31:44 The Insane Hypocrisy of Alternative Media: Corrupt Academics are being controlled!01:37:21 Soaring Rhetoric, Petty Tribalism, and Obvious Hypocrisy01:39:19 No Charity for evil Flint Dibble01:43:35 OutroThe full episode is available for Patreon subscribers (1hr 46 mins).Join us at: https://www.patreon.com/DecodingTheGurusSourcesNew York Times- Zeynep Tufekci: We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our LivesKristian Andersen's BluSky thread about the articleKristian Andersen's article about the emails/slack messages, etc.Huberman's lamentations for his dead friendsThe Rubin Report: Analyzing Trump's Tactics | Eric WeinsteinJoe Rogan Experience #2293 - Chris WilliamsonFlint Dibble: Megastructures under Giza Pyramids⁉️ ARCHAEOLOGY REWRITTEN or viral

Have you ever stopped to ponder why the word 'worship' echoes through so many conversations, yet its definition seems to morph with every group that claims it? In this episode of Dialogos, we embark on an immersive journey into the heart of this enigmatic term, unraveling its philosophical and theological layers. What does 'worship' reveal about our grappling with unknowingness, our dance with chaos, and our yearning for order? Can any one faith, denomination, or tradition truly assert that it holds the definitive understanding of this profound concept?We invite you to join us in re-exploring 'worship' with open minds and curious spirits, as we delve into its nuances and implications. How has this sacred practice evolved—or devolved—across time and cultures? What happens when it becomes rote or disconnected from its roots? Our hope is to rediscover how this timeless act might breathe new life into our spiritual existence, restoring a sense of the divine that so many of us feel has faded from our religious lives in an increasingly fragmented world.From ancient rituals to modern expressions, we'll wrestle with what 'worship' means today and whether it can still anchor us amid life's uncertainties. Is it a bridge between the known and the unknown, or has it lost its power to transform?Join us as we continue the Dialogos—a conversation that digs deep into faith, philosophy, and the human experience.

Asi son los dialogos de una vida muy Feliz , Saludable y Divina. Por que tu creas tu propia realidad.

What if faith deconstruction isn't just about tearing things down, but part of a larger pattern of death, renewal, and life? In this episode of Dialogos, we dive deep into the process of deconstruction—not as an endpoint, but as a necessary phase in the ongoing cycle of faith and meaning.We explore how prophetic figures act as mediators between order and chaos, disrupting rigid systems to make room for renewal. Drawing from mythology, scripture, and even Barbie (yes, Weird Barbie is the perfect prophetic archetype), we discuss why these figures challenge us, why they're necessary, and how they help reshape our understanding of truth.Is deconstruction destroying faith, or can it be a path to something deeper? What happens when systems become too rigid? And how can we navigate this cycle without losing our way?Join us as we wrestle with these ideas and continue the Dialogos.

Welcome to Dialogos, a podcast where we explore deep ideas, wrestle with faith, and embrace the mystery of meaning. In this first episode, we introduce the vision behind Dialogos—why we chose the name, what this space is about, and what we hope to create through these conversations.We also dive into Rad's journey with faith, the struggle with certainty, and the beauty of letting go—learning to embrace faith as an adventure rather than a rigid system of answers.If you're someone who loves meaningful discussions, enjoys questioning and exploring, or just wants to join in on the conversation, you're in the right place.

När källkritiska historiker avfärdade kung Ane som offrade sina söner för ett långt liv och slaget på Bråvallarna som ohistoria föll fantastiska berättelser i glömska.Ända fram till 1800-talet trodde de flesta historiker att sagorna baserades på verkliga händelser. Men modern källkritik har gjort rent hus med dessa fornnordiska sagor. Och tyvärr helt rensat bort berättelserna som är fyllda av dramatik, komik och tragik från vårt allmänna medvetande.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Daniel Sävborg, professor i nordisk filologi vid Tartu universitet. Han är aktuell med boken Händelser ur Sveriges ohistoria – En försvunnen tid (Dialogos).Professor Daniel Sävborg menar att dessa sagor, trots att de avfärdats som historiska källor, fortfarande har ett värde som berättelser. De fungerar som en spegel av samtida värderingar, farhågor och drömmar som präglade deras samtid, och har påverkat både konst och litteratur genom århundradena. Dessa historier, som en gång var centrala i Sveriges självbild och kulturarv, har med tiden försvunnit från det allmänna medvetandet.Slaget på Bråvallarna är en av de mest storslagna berättelserna i den fornnordiska traditionen. Enligt sagorna möttes svearna och danerna i en episk strid där kung Sigurd Ring och hans här utmanade Danmarks kung Harald Hildetand. Kampen, som enligt källorna var så våldsam att både himmel och jord skälvde, präglades av hjältedåd, svek och övernaturliga inslag.Enligt Snorre Sturlasson och Saxo Grammaticus föll Harald i striden, trots att han hade Odens välsignelse. Sigurd Ring tog därmed makten över både svear och daner och lade grunden för det som senare skulle bli ett enat Norden. Slaget på Bråvallarna är mer än en berättelse om militär konflikt; det är en mytologisk symbol för omvälvning och maktens pris. Det knyts också till specifika platser i Sverige, vilket gör det till en del av vår geografiska och kulturella historia.Men källkritiken, särskilt under ledning av Lauritz och Curt Weibull under 1900-talet förändrade historieskrivningen i Sverige radikalt. Historiska källor började bedömas utifrån kriterier som närhet till händelserna, beroendeförhållanden och tendensfrihet. Som en konsekvens ströks stora delar av den tidigare accepterade svenska historien, inklusive de äldsta berättelserna om kungar och hjältar. Här försvann både kung Ane och slaget på Bråvallarna.Men berättelsernas betydelse överstiger deras historiska fakticitet. De har inspirerat mängder av konstnärliga verk – från dikter och dramer till monumentalmålningar och skulpturer. Sävborg lyfter fram exempel på hur dessa historier levt vidare i litteraturen, såsom i verk av August Strindberg och Erik Johan Stagnelius, och hur de en gång fungerade som gemensamma referenser i samhällsdebatten.Vidare beskriver han hur konst och litteratur ofta har omformat och berikat dessa berättelser. De har använts som allegorier för samhälleliga frågor och som verktyg för att utforska mänskliga dygder och brister. Berättelsernas roll som en gemensam kulturell referenspunkt har inte bara förenat samhällen utan också fungerat som en katalysator för kulturellt skapande.Bild: Slaget vid Bråvalla.

La influencia de la tecnología en el comportamiento humano La inteligencia artificial en general, se refiere a sistemas informáticos capaces de realizar actividades humanas de manera natural. Aunque Chat GPT es una forma de inteligencia artificial generativa que crea textos a partir de ejemplos humanos, la verdadera inteligencia artificial general va más allá al permitir que las computadoras realicen funciones humanas de manera natural. La inteligencia artificial, como sabemos, tendrá un impacto en todos los niveles. Anteriormente, creíamos que se limitaría a reemplazar trabajos de nivel operativo. Sin embargo, actualmente observamos que la inteligencia artificial generativa también está afectando a posiciones de nivel medio y alto Considero que la inteligencia artificial para el próximo año, 2025, seguirá siendo principalmente generativa por varias razones. En primer lugar, tiene muchas limitaciones, especialmente en cuanto a la capacidad de razonamiento, algo que las computadoras aún no poseen. En segundo lugar, estas inteligencias consumen muchos recursos económicos y físicos; las computadoras todavía no han alcanzado el potencial de la velocidad de los procesadores. Ricardo Herrera Martínez Profesor del área de Análisis de Decisiones El impacto de Chat GPT en la educación y el ámbito laboral Con respecto al tema de Chat GPT, este ha sido un asunto de gran impacto, especialmente en el ámbito educativo, y está estrechamente relacionado con la formación del talento. Aún no comprendemos completamente el impacto real de todas las funciones que la inteligencia artificial está asumiendo en nuestras interacciones, especialmente en el ámbito laboral. Muchas de nuestras interacciones se basan en el uso de texto e imágenes, y aunque la inteligencia artificial está supliendo algunas de estas funciones, no significa que esté reemplazando por completo la inteligencia humana. Yvette Mucharraz y Cano Directora del CIMAD y profesora del área de Dirección de Personal La evolución tecnológica y su impacto en la sociedad En las últimas décadas, hemos experimentado numerosos cambios tecnológicos. Resulta interesante evaluar la respuesta humana ante estos cambios. La inteligencia artificial podría modificar la forma en que trabajamos, reasignando actividades del personal y abriendo nuevas oportunidades de negocio. Además, tendrá un impacto económico y planteará cuestiones éticas y legales. Creo que veremos un aumento en la adopción de la inteligencia artificial con el tiempo, pero también requerirá esfuerzos significativos. Habrá personas que se resistirán al cambio y otras que lo aprovecharán. Si observamos otros cambios tecnológicos en el pasado, generalmente han llevado a modificaciones en nuestras habilidades, comportamientos y costumbres. Sin embargo, no creo que debamos temer la aniquilación; más bien, la tecnología puede ayudarnos a mejorar nuestra calidad de vida. Alberto Ibarra Garza Profesor y director del área de Análisis de Decisiones La filosofía de Carlos Llano y la inteligencia artificial Carlos Llano, en una frase filosófica, hablaba de la definición principal de los elementos que pueden acompañar a un ser humano: somos serológicos, es decir, nos ponemos fines, nos establecemos metas. Tú decides cuál es tu meta: quizás estudiar algo, emprender un negocio o simplemente realizar tus tareas laborales. No es que alguien te diga qué hacer; eres tú quien decide. Aunque hay quienes debaten si nos programamos desde niños, al final, cada persona elige sus propias metas. Aquí es donde veo el énfasis, y no estoy seguro de lo que sucederá con la inteligencia artificial. Cada vez es más precisa y poderosa para proporcionarnos respuestas excelentes debido a su vasta base de datos. Sin embargo, no sabe realmente lo que está contestando. La IA seguirá siendo más potente, pero no será capaz de establecer sus propios fines. Jorge Llaguno Sañudo Profesor del área de Factor Humano y Análisis de Decisiones

That's right—we're back in the heady world of sense-making, but don't worry, we're just in time to witness the final resolution of the ever-looming 'Meaning Crisis.'Join Matt and Chris as they embark on an epic journey with the cognitively inclined philosopher John Vervaeke and none other than the uber-guru, Jordan Peterson, himself. Together, they navigate a vast semantic web of meaning that spans discussions of Power, Beauty, Love, Religion, and, of course... the Logos!Along the way, we'll probe the limits of complex wordplay and autodidactic insights, consider the ancient art of delegation, and ponder how the religious-shaped void might just be filled with engagement in Dialogos. On the more mundane level, we'll also explore the inner workings of Jordisan Academy, the logistics of the 'We Who Wrestle with God' tour, upcoming Sensemaking cruises, and the vital multivitamins every Responsible Man should be taking.So come along as Matt and Chris grapple with the Omega Rule, cast aside their reductive materialism, and bow down in horror and awe to worship the words that the eternal Logos issues forth.LinksThe Meaning Crisis: Resolution | Dr. John Vervaeke | EP 482The Stoa: Wisdom Signalling & the Wisdom of Criticism w/ John Veraveke, Chris M, Chris Kavanagh, & Matt BrowneA Bit of Fry and Laurie: A Bit of Fry & Laurie Concerning LanguageJohn Vervaeke: Awakening from the Meaning Crisis

In this episode of “Voices with Vervaeke,” John Vervaeke and Guy Sengstock engage in a discussion about relationality, grief, and the sacred. Highlighting their upcoming Circling into Dialogos workshop, they delve into practices for realizing our interconnected nature, inspired by philosopher James Filler's views on relationality as the essence of being. The duo explores how grief exposes our lives as interwoven relational worlds, leading to a deeper comprehension of non-substantiality and connection. Their transformative workshop aims to cultivate better relationships with self, others, and ultimate reality, addressing the sacred amidst the meaning crisis and moving beyond adversarial thinking. This relational perspective, both transcendent and intimate, offers insights into a more responsive and holistic way of living. Listeners will gain an enriched understanding of how relational thinking can reshape our approach to life's challenges, opening doors to new meanings and deeper connections.   Guy Sengstock, the founder of the Circling method, is a renowned facilitator and innovator in the field of authentic communication and personal development. His method blends philosophical rigor with a deep understanding of relational dynamics, offering transformative experiences that foster genuine connection and self-awareness.    Glossary of Terms   Relationality: The quality of being relational, emphasizing the importance of relationships in understanding beings and the world. Heidegger: A German philosopher known for his existential and phenomenological explorations. Neoplatonism: A philosophical system that posits the existence of an ultimate reality or "One" from which everything emanates.   John Vervaeke Website: https://johnvervaeke.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@johnvervaeke  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke   X: https://twitter.com/vervaeke_john   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VervaekeJohn/   Guy Sengstock Website: https://circlinginstitute.com/ Email: guysengstock@gmail.com Join our new Patreon https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke   The Vervaeke Foundation - https://vervaekefoundation.org/   Awaken to Meaning - https://awakentomeaning.com/   Workshop:  Circling & Dialogos: The After Socrates Wisdom Intensive February 10-11, 2024 https://circlinginstitute.mykajabi.com/dialogos-and-circling-registration   Books, Articles, and Publications   Heidegger, Neoplatonism, and the History of Being: Relation as Ontological Ground - James Filler  https://www.amazon.com/dp/3031309065 Relationality as the Ground of Being: The One as Pure Relation in Plotinus - Filler, James (2019).

The dialogue intricately examines the dynamic interplay between theoretical understanding of virtues and their practical application in everyday situations, highlighting virtuosity as a skillful enactment of these principles. Vervaeke and Mastropietro also discuss the Foundation's upcoming projects and initiatives, underscoring their commitment to integrating philosophical insights into real-world contexts. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of balancing the finite and infinite aspects of their endeavors, reflecting on how this equilibrium is crucial for fostering genuine, sustainable progress both within the Foundation and in individuals' lives.

Volga har varit en symbol för Ryssland. Samtidigt är Rysslands historia även historien om en imperialistisk expansion österut och sydost längs Volga. Storfurstendömet Moskva var först underordnad stäppfolken vid Volga för att senare erövra deras kärnområden som Hazarriket och Krimkhanatet.Under århundradena styrde de ryska härskarna Volga-områdena med hjälp av våld, byråkrati, ideologi och assimilering. Det ryska styret under tsartiden var anmärkningsvärt inkompetent och godtyckligt. Det följdes av den sovjetiska tidens massvält efter inbördeskriget, kollektiviseringens plågor, ytterligare svält på 1930-talet, andra världskriget och miljöskador som tillfogats floden.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Lena Jonson, docent i statsvetenskap, som är aktuell med boken Volga och det inre Ryssland – En resa i tid och rum.Volga har format ryska imperiets historia, skapat rika kulturer och civilisationer samt drivit ekonomisk tillväxt. Men Volga är mer än bara en vattenväg. Den är ett levande monument över landets komplexa historia, en plats där olika etniciteter och traditioner möts och blandas.Den mäktiga floden Volga har varit en viktig mötesplats för olika eurasiska civilisationer som skyter, hunner, germaner, finsk-ugriska- och turkiska folk där islam, kristendom och judendom var representerade. Volga var en viktig handelsled där också nordbor etablerade sig.I dagens Ryssland blir politiska ledare alltmer centraliserade, och deras retorik betonar alltmer det slaviska ryska arvet. Samtidigt blir icke-ryska folk alltmer medvetna om sin egna kulturella unikhet. Frågan om etnicitet och historiskt minne blir alltmer brådskande i den nuvarande ryska samhällsdebatten.

Sevilla King tackles the limitations of subject-object metaphysics, while Dr. Vervaeke expounds upon nominalism and its implications for understanding the world's patterns. They discuss Neoplatonism as a potential grounding philosophy for a "religion that's not a religion," and contrast it with the complexities of modern thought. As the conversation evolves, they engage in vibrant debates about embodiment, rationality, the potential and pitfalls of scientific inquiry, and the nature of love and truth. Dr. Vervaeke uses illustrative analogies, and Sevilla King emphasizes the role of mindset and the cultural implications of scientific paradigms.

Dr. John Vervaeke engages in a multi-faceted conversation with Carla Groom, who is ingeniously incorporating cognitive science into her work. Vervaeke provides a scholarly background on mental models, drawing from philosophy and cognitive science to elucidate how humans make sense of their world. Groom shares her front-line experiences, revealing how these theories translate into actionable insights in government. The discussion evolves into a kaleidoscope of ideas, from the dynamics of mental models in decision-making to the nuanced philosophy of 'we agency' and collective intelligence. The conversation not only dissects the complexities of problem-solving in the public sector but also expands to the cosmos as they explore how NASA scientists navigate rovers on Mars.

It's not possible or desirable because if you overwhelm yourself quickly, it's a good way to discourage yourself from doing anything." - Christopher Mastropietro "I had no idea what was possible in relationship until I started doing the practice of authentic relating and circling, and now it's so much richer." - Taylor Barrett “Behind all the hermeneutics of suspicion, there is a hermeneutics of beauty. There are people out there still pursuing and practicing the good. I strongly believe that I've found good people doing good work and creating a great place. I just wanted to address that concern you might have and ask you to rationally hope that there's an alternative to all of that bullshit and that's on offer here.” - Dr. John Vervaeke “When you're signing up to participate, you're contributing to the creation and the unfolding of this project.

This is a participatory and co-creative process, and it has to be that in order for it to fulfill and be true to its own intentions.” - Christopher Mastropietro “For those of you who identify and are happy to identify with spiritual but not religious, this is a place to bring disciplined learning to that proposal.”  - Dr. John Vervaeke 

Dr. John Vervaeke and Gregg Henriques challenge prevailing notions about science, spirituality, and their intricate relationship in this first episode of the new series entitled: Transcendent Naturalism.

In this episode of the After Socrates podcast, Dr. John Vervaeke, Guy Sengstock, Christopher Mastropietro, and Taylor Barrett delve into the complexities of human relationships, communication, and the transformative power of dialogue. The conversation begins with an exploration of the importance of relationships in human development and the emergence of practices like dialectic, dialogos, and authentic relating. Sengstock highlights the impact of modern communication technologies on relationships, making them optional and less necessary for functioning. The discussion then shifts to the epidemic of loneliness and the transactional nature of modern relationships, exacerbated by technology and social media. The participants also discuss the loss of wisdom, knowledge, and the maturation process in modern society, and how this has led to a diminished sense of personhood and a decline in religious belief. They explore the role of memory in the aftermath of a relationship fallout and the importance of shifting focus from minute details to a more impressionistic understanding of the experience. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the transformative nature of Dialogos and the profound insights gained from engaging in these discussions. The participants express gratitude for the journey and the connections made through the process, highlighting the potential of these practices to address the issues they have discussed. Time-Codes: [00:00] Guy Sengstock discusses the inherent messiness and discomfort of relationships and how they are essential to becoming people.
