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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

[01:01:18] Discussion on the framework presentation, pointing out they are not pushing or expecting a religious outcome or religious conversion, but instead are offering a courtyard where the religious and the nonreligious can deeply commune with each other. Quotes: "Each person will have a different point of entry, and those points won't be the same. You don't have to take everything on at once. 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 flows in both directions, you're not taking something away, but you're actually giving into it. 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. They embark on a journey through modern worldviews, diving into concepts such as reductionism, the Cartesian divide, and the tension between objective and subjective understanding. This dialogue brings out the complexity of reconciling quantum mechanics and relativity, the prevalent models that rob human beings of meaning and wisdom, and the importance of transcendence. Furthermore, the discourse touches on extended naturalism, the critique of reductionism, and the groundbreaking concept of energy information singularity. Dr. Vervaeke and Henriques shed light on meta-arguments, the relevance of convergence in argumentation, the depth of transjectivity, and the vast expanse of collective intelligence. They also explore the concepts of abstraction, self-organization, and the interplay of causality and constraints. Top 15 Moments: 00:00:00: Dr. John Vervaeke introduces the new series "Transcendent Naturalism," a bridge between science and spirituality. 00:01:36: Gregg Henriques underscores the significance of understanding meaning-making and its relevance today. 00:04:56: Dr. Vervaeke highlights the tension between science and spirituality in contemporary culture. 00:07:34: Dr. Vervaeke explores the idea of reductionism within the hard sciences. 00:10:33: The discussion dives into the implications of the subjective-objective divide. 00:15:30: Dr. Vervaeke speaks on the prevalent models depriving human beings of meaning and wisdom. 00:18:40: The purpose of the series is presented, aiming to help listeners transcend their intellectual straitjackets. 00:22:41: Dr. Vervaeke emphasizes the need for a broader understanding of the psyche's grip on reality. 00:23:30 Introduction of the concept of extended naturalism, suggesting that our understanding of reality isn't limited to what's derivable from hard sciences but also includes what these sciences presuppose. 00:30:24: The discourse moves to a conformity theory of knowing, the idea of reality not being flat land, and the need for a leveled ontology. 00:45:16: Gregg Henriques discusses the role of abstraction in communication. 00:59:53: Dr. Vervaeke introduces the concept of reality being layered in a bottom-up emergence and top-down emanation. 01:06:40: Conformity theory: how the principles governing the mind and the world mutually participate in the same governing principles. 01:09:20: Transjectivity: a deeper relationship than subjectivity and objectivity, which is necessary for knowledge and truth.  01:15:39: The power of collective intelligence in problem-solving and understanding complex concepts is explored. 01:18:27: Dr. Vervaeke and Gregg Henriques discuss their converging ideas and the importance of ongoing dialogue. 01:23:40: Gregg Henriques discusses the concept of transjectivity and its application to his key concepts.

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. [00:02:18] Dr. Vervaeke proposes the question of why practices like dialectic, dialogos, and authentic relating are emerging now. [00:09:54] Guy Sengstock discusses the epidemic of loneliness and how it drives people further into isolation rather than seeking relationships.

[00:18:51] Dr. John Vervaeke discusses the loss of wisdom, knowledge, and the maturation process in modern society. [00:22:30] Guy Sengstock talks about the importance of participating in the sacred and how it is linked to the decline of religious belief. [00:27:16] Christopher Mastropietro discusses the process of coming to grips with the fallout of a close relationship and how memory plays a role in that experience. [00:30:00] Christopher Mastropietro discusses the truth of a relationship and how it lies in the creative act of revisioning that relationship, not in the recorded details. [00:39:25] Taylor Barrett talks about moving towards wisdom in terms of social media, technology, and practices. [00:45:36] Guy Sengstock discusses the loss of organized religion and the opportunity it presents for a new kind of collective intelligence.
