Professor Andrew Bowie shares his personal journey as both a research scientist and a church leader.
Do Science, Black Theology and AI Mix with Dr. Reggie Williams (Part 2)In the second part of this two-part interview, Ilia Delio speaks with Dr. Reggie Williams about just that black theology. From her Teilhardian perspective, Ilia asks Reggie about the interaction between faith and science, and in particular, how evolution, diversity and technology work together in his theology. Finally, Ilia asks what role, if any, AI plays in social change.ABOUT DR. REGGIE WILLIAMS“Bonhoeffer's experience in Harlem demonstrates that a Christian interpretation of the way of Jesus must be connected to justice for a Christian to see beyond primary loyalties to self and kind, to recognize the needs for justice in another's context, and to ‘love neighbor as self.'”Reggie Williams, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Black Theology at St Louis University. His research interests are Black Theology, Black Studies, Harlem Renaissance, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Studies, and Christian Ethics. He is the author of Bonhoeffer's Black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance Theology and an Ethic of Resistance from Baylor University Press, and is currently working on three manuscripts, an ethics project with Yale University Press, a trade book about Christian response to fascism, with Broadleaf books, and a commentary on Joshua and Job with Westminster John Knox. He and his wife Stacy will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary this month on the 26th, and are the parents of two young adults, Darion and Simone.Support the showA huge thank you to all of you who subscribe and support our show!

Ian Hutchinson is Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering in he Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering and the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT. He works in both plasma physics and nuclear physics and also writes on the philosophy of science and the compatibility of Christianity and science. In this episode, Ian and Robinson begin by discussing his work in plasma and nuclear physics, touching on space exploration, nuclear fusion, and the containment of superheated plasma. Then they turn to Ian's religious beliefs and his understanding of how science and christianity are not only compatible, but complementary. Ian's latest book is Can a Scientist Believe in Miracles?: An MIT Professor Answers Questions on God and Science.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On Investigating Conspiracy Theories, published by Zvi on February 20, 2023 on LessWrong. Scott Alexander wrote yet more words defending his decision to write two posts totaling 25,000 words about Ivermectin. Then he wrote a second post trying again. More centrally, his first post, of which I very much approve, is defending the most important idea of all: Think for yourself, shmuck! I want to make clear my violent agreement with all of the following. Think for yourself, shmuck! When it seems worthwhile, do your own research. The ones telling you not to ‘do your own research' are probably the baddies. Also applies to the ones telling you to ‘trust us and Trust the Science' and calling you an idiot or racist or calling for you to be censored if you disagree. Baddies or not, those people still are more likely to be more right about any given point than those saying they are wrong or lying to you, unless you have seen them lying or being wrong a lot about closely related things previously. And your own research will often not seem worthwhile if you consider opportunity costs. When people draw wrong conclusions like Ivermectin being effective or that Atlantis used to exist or whatever, telling people that they are idiots or racists for drawing that conclusion is not going to be super effective. Pointing out ‘the other side are conspiracy theorists' or ‘the people who believe this also believe these other terrible things' does not prove the other side is wrong, nor is it going to convince anyone on the other side that they are wrong. If you instead explain and work through the evidence, there is a chance someone might be convinced, that is God's work, you are providing a public service. There are not ‘legitimate' and ‘illegitimate' places to Do Science. You can virtuously Do Science to It, for all values of It and of You. No, we cannot assume that the medical establishment, or any other establishment, will always get such questions right. That is not how any of this works. Even the best possible version of the medical (or other) establishment will sometimes get it wrong, if no one points it out without being dismissed as a conspiracy theorist or racist then the establishment will keep getting it wrong and so will you, and criticism is the only known antidote to error in such situations. I would also add, from Kavanagh's response to Scott in a comment, my disagreement with this particular thing, regarding scuba diving to purported Atlantean ruins: I also don't think I would have the same intuition you have that personally exploring the ruins would be informative. I think that would actually be likely to skew my perspective as it feels like it would deliver potentially inaccurate intuitions and that it would require already having the expertise to properly assess what you are seeing. Actually getting the skills, running experiments, seeing the evidence for yourself? That's all great stuff in my book. It's not cheap to do, but if you care enough to learn to scuba dive, by all means scuba dive and see the primary evidence with your own eyes. It seems crazy to me to think this would not be a helpful thing to do – to me it is the most virtuous thing to do, if you care a lot. Alas, Scott then backtracks a bunch in this second post. He is afraid others will see him saying not to ‘trust the experts' so he wants to reiterate to trust the experts, that reasoning is hard and you probably shouldn't try doing it yourself. Then he says this: To a first approximation, trust experts over your own judgment. If people are trying to confuse you about who the experts are, then to a second approximation trust prestigious people and big institutions, including professors at top colleges, journalists at major newspapers, professional groups with names like the American ______ Association, and the...

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Jonathan Pageau, Douglas Murray, and Dr Jordan B Peterson discuss our hierarchies of perception, existence, faith, and whether meaning is a self evident truth or something intangible that is sought in vain. Jonathan Pageau is a French-Canadian liturgical artist and icon carver, known for his work featured in museums across the world. He carves Eastern Orthodox and other traditional images, and teaches an online carving class. He also runs a YouTube channel dedicated to the exploration of symbolism across history and religion. Douglas Murray is a British political commentator and author. In 2007 he founded a think tank called the Center for Social Cohesion, which later became part of the Henry Jackson Society. Currently he is an associate editor for the magazine the Spectator, where he became somewhat infamous after organizing a competition in which entrants were invited to submit offensive poems about Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, with a top prize of £1,000. He has authored five books, the most recent of which being “The War on the West.” —Links— For Douglass Murray: Website: https://douglasmurray.net/ (Book) The War on the West: https://www.amazon.com/War-West-Douglas-Murray/dp/0063162024/ (Book) The Strange Death of Europe: https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Death-Europe-Immigration-Identity-ebook/dp/B07J4G6P1T/ref=sr_1_1?crid=IZ93P44GH6II&keywords=the+strange+death+of+europe&qid=1663609075&s=digital-text&sprefix=the+strange+death+of+europe%2Cdigital-text%2C75&sr=1-1 For Jonathan Pageau: Icon Carving: http://www.pageaucarvings.com Podcast: www.thesymbolicworld.com Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonathanPageau —Chapters— (0:00) Coming Up(1:10) Intro(4:18) A Precondition for a Rational World View(10:29) The Battle of Conceptions(14:55) Perceived Unity and the Glass(21:58) Do Science and Religion Overlap?(29:41) The Hierarchy of Perception and Action(38:45) The Bible Was Not Written Forensically(48:25) Using the Least Possible Thing to Describe the Realness of Everything(57:07) Are We Meaning-Seeking Beings, or is There Meaning?(1:05:56) To What Degree Does Something Exist Prior to Elaboration?(1:12:04) The Cause of Demoralization in Our Society(1:17:58) The Advantage of Organized Religion // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL //Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jordanbpeterson.com/youtubesignupDonations: https://jordanbpeterson.com/donate // COURSES //Discovering Personality: https://jordanbpeterson.com/personalitySelf Authoring Suite: https://selfauthoring.comUnderstand Myself (personality test): https://understandmyself.com // BOOKS //Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life: https://jordanbpeterson.com/Beyond-Order12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-lifeMaps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: https://jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning // LINKS //Website: https://jordanbpeterson.comEvents: https://jordanbpeterson.com/eventsBlog: https://jordanbpeterson.com/blogPodcast: https://jordanbpeterson.com/podcast // SOCIAL //Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordanbpetersonInstagram: https://instagram.com/jordan.b.petersonFacebook: https://facebook.com/drjordanpetersonTelegram: https://t.me/DrJordanPetersonAll socials: https://linktr.ee/drjordanbpeterson #JordanPeterson #JordanBPeterson #DrJordanPeterson #DrJordanBPeterson #DailyWirePlus

Enjoy a fascinating journey through one of the most prestigious science careers in Western Australia with Professor Lyn Beazley, former Chief Scientist of WA.Lyn shares key moments of serendipity from earlier in her life that set her on the trajectory to where she is today. Lyn also modestly tells of how her weekend research project played a key foundational role in the development of the field of neuroplasticity – how the brain has the ability to change continuously throughout an individual's life – this is a key foundation of the whole focus of self-development.We go deep on what is the actual scientific methodology, building a career in science, the state of science in WA and other super interesting topics that include the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope project in Murchison, shark repelling strips on wetsuits and much much more.During her time as Chief Scientist of Western Australia, Lyn’s key ethos was ‘Do Science, Translate Science and Communicate Science’ and it is exactly this reason as to why this is such a truly approachable and fascinating conversation with such a wonderful and curious lady.
