In this episode of our Erikson's Psychosocial Stages mini-series, we explore the stage of Intimacy vs. Isolation (ages 18–40). From an Emotionally Focused Therapy perspective, we discuss how our ability to form close, secure, and meaningful relationships is shaped by earlier developmental experiences. Join us as we unpack the challenges of vulnerability, connection, attachment, and loneliness, and consider what helps people move toward intimacy rather than isolation during this important season of life.

New month means new theme with this month's theme being, "We believe in Cults, Blood, and Rituals" where I will focus on horror movies featuring cults/rituals. Starting the month off with the Netflix original, 2017's "The Babysitter." The Mistress of the Menagerie discusses the fear of growing up, social psychology, and Erikson's stages of development. Come check it out!

Some lies leave scars you can see. Jennifer Miller, a licensed professional counselor with fifteen years of clinical experience, now sits with the detransitioners. The young women coming out the other side of a cultural lie, carrying its permanent mark on their bodies and asking the questions no one prepared them for. What pulled them in? What woke them up? What does the wreckage actually look like once the affirmation stops? And how did an entire culture, an entire profession, march millions of children down this road while calling it care? Jennifer has been watching this story unfold for fifty years, first inside her own family, now inside her therapy office. She left the mental health system in 2020 and has been telling the truth ever since. This episode is about more than gender. It is about how minds get captured, how good people participate in harm, and what human vulnerability looks like when the institutions sworn to protect us become the ones doing the cutting. Listen now.

Special Guest Christine Oswald joins us to discuss Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development. 

In our miniseries 'Stage by Stage: A Parent's Roadmap', we explore Erikson's stages of Psychosocial Development. This episode focuses on Industry vs. Inferiority, a pivotal period for children ages 6 to 12. During these years, kids begin comparing themselves to peers to determine what they are good at and where they fit in. This process helps shape confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of pride in their abilities. We discuss how caregivers can support healthy development by focusing on effort over outcome, encouraging persistence, resilience, and a growth mindset rather than perfection. We also highlight the power of positive affirmation and validation in helping children feel seen, capable, and motivated.

Erikson mapeou as 8 crises que toda pessoaatravessa. Você está fugindo de alguma delas sem perceber?Você já sentiu que estava preso numa fase da vida sem conseguir sair? Que amesma dor voltava com rostos diferentes? Que por mais que o tempo passasse,algo dentro de você não avançava?Erikson tinha uma resposta para isso. E elamuda tudo.Nesse episódio, a gente mergulha na teoriados 8 estágios do desenvolvimento humano de Erik Erikson, um dos psicólogosmais revolucionários da história, e entende por que certas crises não passam:elas esperam. Esperam você atravessá-las de verdade.Do primeiro ano de vida até a velhice, apsicologia nos mostra que cada fase carrega um portal. Confiança, autonomia,identidade, intimidade, propósito. Cada um deles, se contornado, cobra um preçosilencioso nos anos seguintes.Nesse episódio você vai entender em quallimiar você está agora, por que crises não resolvidas voltam com maisintensidade, como a infância impacta sua capacidade de se relacionar hoje, oque a ciência diz sobre identidade, generatividade e bem-estar, e o que fazerde concreto quando você reconhece que está num portal.Esse não é um episódio de autoajuda. É umconvite para olhar para a própria vida com honestidade e profundidade.

In this episode, we explore why we often date the wrong people first and how that is actually part of discovering who we are. What begins as a light conversation about spring break quickly evolves into a deeper discussion about identity, relationships, and the psychology behind the choices we make in love.We start with the cultural evolution of spring break. From the early days of MTV Spring Break and the controversial era of Girls Gone Wild to today's reality television landscape, pop culture has always been fascinated with young people trying to figure themselves out. But beneath the entertainment, there is a deeper question worth asking. What are these moments really teaching us about connection, attraction, and identity?From there, we explore the shift in reality television. Some shows lean into physical attraction and impulsive decision making, while others focus on emotional connection and compatibility. Shows like Love Island and Love Is Blind highlight two very different approaches to relationships, yet both reveal something important about how people navigate love when they are still figuring out who they are.Then we zoom out to the psychology behind it all. Drawing from developmental theories such as Erikson's stages of development and the concept of emerging adulthood between the ages of eighteen and twenty five, we unpack why this phase of life is so critical. It is a time of exploration, confusion, growth, and sometimes poor decisions that ultimately shape identity.We introduce the concept of identity fidelity, which is the ability to truly know yourself and show up as the same person in every environment. Whether you are with friends, family, or in a relationship, consistency in identity becomes the foundation for healthy connections. Without that clarity, people often fall into patterns of seeking validation, changing themselves for others, or staying in relationships that do not align with who they really are.The conversation then moves closer to real life relationship dynamics. We discuss people pleasing tendencies and how they silently damage relationships over time. Avoiding difficult conversations might keep the peace in the short term, but it often leads to deeper issues later. Many relationships struggle not because of a lack of love, but because of a lack of honest communication.We also talk about the importance of maintaining friendships while dating. Having people in your life who can offer honest feedback and perspective is essential. Relationships should not exist in isolation, and the people around you often see things you might overlook.Throughout the episode, we connect personal stories with psychological insight to show that dating is not just about finding the right person. It is about becoming someone who understands themselves first. Without self awareness, even the best relationships can become unstable.We close with a simple but powerful takeaway. You need to figure out who you are before you try to build something meaningful with someone else.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I share what happened when I found myself in a creative slump and did what I often encourage others to do…just shuffle the cards and follow what shows up. What surfaced were court cards, which led me back to a recent workshop I created on understanding the Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings through the lens of psychosocial development and Jungian Psychoanalysis.This episode offers a glimpse into how I move beyond seeing court cards as simple personality types and instead view them as developmental archetypes that mirror real psychological stages across the lifespan. Drawing from Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, I explore how each court card reflects key human questions like identity, intimacy, contribution, and integration, and how we revisit these stages throughout life rather than moving through them in a linear fashion.I also introduce Jungian concepts of transformation, showing how the court cards can represent the unfolding of awareness - from early insight to full integration. Along the way, I demonstrate practical exercises and tarot spreads that help translate these theories into meaningful self-reflection.In this episode, I explore:How court cards connect to Erikson's psychosocial stages of developmentWhy the Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings reflect evolving life themesHow Jungian transformation stages deepen tarot interpretationWhat court cards reveal about identity, relationships, legacy, and personal integrationSample tarot exercises using the Ten of Swords (reversed) and the High Priestess and the Knight of Swords and Three of Pentacles Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to see the court cards as more than static figures, and instead as living psychological archetypes that mirror growth, change, and the ongoing process of becoming.You're Invited!

Send us Fan MailA re-release with a purpose: we're celebrating Zach Erickson's selection to the 2026 Trail Team Elite and unpacking the gritty, honest road that got him there. Zach grew up in Idaho Falls chasing every ball sport, found running in middle school, and lived the BYU dream—until a chronic hip injury benched him for a year and eventually cut him from the roster… twice. What followed wasn't a comeback montage; it was a mindset shift. He let go of fear, built gratitude into his daily training, and said yes to trails on a nudge from Christian Allen.That curiosity changed everything. Zach showed up as a total unknown at the US Mountain Champs at Snowbird and finished third. He followed with a collegiate national title at Sunapee and a podium at the Pikes Peak Ascent, proving he's built for steep, sustained climbing and high altitude. We dive into why trails fit his physiology better than the track, how cycling translates directly to uphill power, and what he learned from a humbling weekend at Broken Arrow. He shares altitude confidence built on a Peru trek to 15,000 feet, the value of course scouting, and why vertical races may be his sharpest blade.We also pull back the curtain on life inside an elite NCAA program—the allure and the pressure—and how trying to hang with national champions on rep one can derail long-term progress. Zach talks gear on a budget, hand-me-down super shoes, and segment hunting on Utah's canyon climbs. He's eyeing LOTOJA, the 200-mile Logan-to-Jackson ride, not as a detour but as targeted base work for mountains. Plus: triathlon chaos, ocean swims that humbled him, and the joy of stacking new skills even when you're a beginner.If you're navigating injury, searching for your best event, or just hungry for a grounded, practical take on mountain running, Zach's story delivers. Hit play to learn how to turn setbacks into fuel, build real climbing strength, and set goals that motivate without crushing you.

In this episode of Page Chewing, the crew dives into Midnight Tides Chapters 18–20, where the tension escalates and the cracks in both empires, and characters, begin to widen.We unpack the haunting mystery of the Nerek and the strange sanctification that shields them, questioning whether divine power, belief, or something far older is at play. From there, the conversation turns toward one of the most compelling emotional cores of the book: the fractured relationship between Fear and Trull Sengar. Is Fear acting out of loyalty… or cowardice? And what does “treason” even mean in a world already unraveling?Rhulad's descent continues, and with it comes one of the most fascinating dynamics in the series—his uneasy, almost tragic bond with Udinaas. As madness tightens its grip, we explore the blurred line between manipulation, guidance, and survival.Meanwhile, Seren Pedac's arc deepens in powerful ways. Her grief, guilt, and emerging connection to something more—whether magical or psychological—add another layer to an already complex narrative. Her journey raises questions about agency, trauma, and transformation in a brutal world.And of course, we couldn't resist diving into the lore—death, forgotten gods, Tiste Edur mythology, and the ever-expanding puzzle that is Malazan. Erikson continues to weave a narrative where belief shapes reality, power comes at a cost, and no character is ever as simple as they seem.This is a dense, emotional, and lore-heavy section of Midnight Tides—and we're here to chew through every bit of it.Next week: Chapters 21–24.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumFilm Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPalSupport the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts:JarrodVarsha ChrisJoseCarl D.

In this episode of Page Burners, the crew continues their journey through Midnight Tides, Book Five of Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson, diving deep into the chaos and revelations of the late-book chapters as the Letherii–Edur conflict erupts into full war.The discussion explores the sudden devastation unleashed by Letherii sorcery, wiping out entire villages and throwing the Edur world into upheaval. The hosts unpack the emotional weight of Buruk's tragic storyline and Seren Pedac's complicated reaction to his death, debating whether Erikson's “fog of war” storytelling heightens the tension or obscures the emotional impact.From there, the conversation branches into some of the book's biggest mysteries. What is the Empty Hold, and why might Seren Pedac be tied to its power? Who are the mysterious “Mistresses,” and how does the awakening of Death in Lether connect to the shifting metaphysical balance of the world?The crew also examines the arrival of the Crimson Guard and the enigmatic Iron Bars, whose appearance raises new questions about Lether's place in the broader Malazan world.Meanwhile, the discussion turns toward Trull Sengar and the Edur war campaign, touching on the strange presence of the Jheck, the implications of a Tiste Edur with Andii traits, and the broader question of how disconnected the Edur may have become from their own origins.Finally, the hosts dive into one of the novel's most bizarre and fascinating threads: Udinaas' journey into a strange pocket realm inhabited by ghostly T'lan Imass, the shocking revelation of his son's existence, and the tangled manipulations of the dragon-blooded powers moving behind the scenes.As always, theories fly, timelines get debated, and the group wrestles with the sprawling mythology that makes Malazan one of fantasy's most ambitious series.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing Blog Page Chewing Forum Film Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPal Support the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts: Jarrod Varsha Chris Jose Carl D.

Send a textWhat if getting cut—twice—was the best thing that ever happened to your running? We sit down with 2025 Collegiate National Trail Champion Zach Erickson to unpack how a BYU distance runner rebuilt his confidence, found joy on steep terrain, and turned setbacks into podiums at races like Snowbird and the Pikes Peak Ascent.Zach brings a candid look at pressure inside an elite NCAA program, the chronic pelvis injury that sidelined him for a year, and the mental spiral that came with fearing failure. Then the story bends: friends nudge him onto trails, the vertical clicks immediately, and he applies an analytic eye to course scouting that pays off fast. We talk why steep gradients suit his physiology, how he handled high altitude without a fancy setup, and why gratitude—not grind—became the engine for progress.Beyond trail running, Zach shares the cross‑training that keeps him sharp. He joins a local cycling team, races Zwift, and uses the bike to build the same climbing power he needs for uphill miles. He even dabbles in triathlon, battling through the swim and still running into top overall finishes—proof that versatility and humility can coexist with high goals. Looking ahead, Zach calls his shot on the US Mountain Running Team, circles vertical races like Broken Arrow for redemption, and targets big rides like LOTOJA alongside local canyon KOMs.If you care about mountain running, uphill training, injury comebacks, or building an aerobic engine without burning out, this one hits home. Come for the Pikes Peak insights and BYU war stories, stay for the practical takeaways on mindset, cross‑training, and racing where your strengths shine.

Wie oft sagen wir sowas wie: „Ich bin gerade in so einer Phase! “, oder „Ich frage mich, was das Leben hier von mir will!“, oder auch: „Was soll ich denn damit anfangen, was gibt es hier für mich zu lernen?“ Wir sagen das ohne Nachzudenken aus dem tiefen instinktiven Wissen heraus, dass das Leben wie eine Art Reise ist, mit bestimmten Abschnitten und Stationen, oder so wie ein Buch mit verschiedenen Kapiteln. Eins hängt mit dem anderen zusammen. Und so ist es tatsächlich. Einer der bedeutendsten Entwicklungspsychologen der Welt, Erik Erikson hat dafür sogar ein eigenes Modell entwickelt und damit beschreibt er unsere Persönlichkeitsentwicklung in acht Phasen über die gesamte Lebensspanne. Jede Stufe bringt eine bestimmte Krise und damit bestimmte Anforderungen für uns und wenn wir die bewältigen, entsteht Wachstum und Reife und Identität - geschieht Entwicklung. Schält uns das Leben ab bis auf den Kern, bis auf das, was wir wirklich sind.Unsere Entwicklung folgt einem inneren Plan. Und das bedeutet nicht nur, das es vollkommen normal ist, in verschiedenen Lebensphasen ganz bestimmte innere Konflikte und Spannungsfelder zu haben, sondern es ist auch total spannend sich und das eigene auf diese Weise noch einmal ganz anders zu verstehen. Zu erkennen, was vielleicht noch ungelöst in uns ist, wo wir vielleicht noch einmal hinschauen dürfen und wo wir spüren: „Toll, das ist mir wirklich gut gelungen. Hier habe ich für mein Leben eine Lektion gelernt.“ Du merkst schon, ich bin begeistert von diesem Modell unsere Entwicklung und Reifung durchs Leben nach Erikson und ich möchte Dich damit anstecken, weil ich glaube, da könnte auch für Dich die eine oder andere Aha-Moment drinstecken.

What if you could diagnose exactly where you are on the happiness scale—and why? In this groundbreaking episode, Harry Loyd unveils his brand-new "Subjective Life Quality Index"—a 7-stage chart that maps human happiness from rock bottom (0) to enlightenment (10+). Dr. Alex Loyd calls it "as good, if not better" than Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Erikson's Stages of Development, and Kübler-Ross' Stages of Grief. This is the chart's first public presentation. You're seeing it before it's even digitized. ✓ What You'll Discover: ✓ The 7 stages of subjective life quality (0-10+) and where most people get stuck ✓ Why "waiting on the world" (7) is a transitory stage you can't stay in ✓ The "empty cup" trap (5-6): dependency, anxiety, and the "I'll be happy when..." cycle ✓ Why most people are stuck at a 5 (the dependent/anxiety zone) ✓ The honeymoon effect: why happiness from worldly things only lasts 5 minutes to 6 months ✓ Learned helplessness (3-4): the depression zone and why it's sustainable (which makes it dangerous) ✓ Destructive behavior (1-2): hedonism, materialism, narcissism—when desires become needs ✓ Rock bottom (0-1): disillusioned—but why this stage can actually move you UP ✓ The two paths from "waiting on the world": deserving vs. contending ✓ Jacob (8): when pain becomes meaningful and suffering minimizes ✓ The High Road (10+): enlightenment, fulfillment from BEING not achieving ✓ Fragmented intent: the "last enemy" that keeps you from staying at 10+

By the end of the first week of the new year, nearly 77% of New Year's resolutions have already failed (Norcross, 1988). That's discouraging—but it doesn't mean you should stop trying. It means most of us are setting resolutions in ways that don't work. You aren't weak or lazy. More often, the problem is a misaligned system—one that relies too heavily on willpower and short-lived motivation. Motivation naturally fades over time, even when our intentions are good. Think about how often you enthusiastically agree to plans weeks in advance, only to feel tired or unmotivated when the day arrives. Or how many times you've started a project—cleaning a room, taking a course, planning a trip—only to watch your early excitement slowly disappear. We're excellent at strong intentions; follow-through is harder. The good news? Not all resolutions fail. That same research found that 19% of resolutions are still maintained two years later (Norcross, 1988). We just don't spend enough time learning from what does work. Three DON'Ts 1. Don't make life-changing, all-or-nothing resolutions Resolutions that try to overhaul everything at once are overwhelming and fragile. Examples: "New year, new me—I'll reinvent my career, relationships, and lifestyle." "I'll work out every single day this year." "I'll triple my income or eliminate all my debt." Why this fails: One setback can feel like total failure, making it easy to quit entirely. 2. Don't set shame-driven goals Goals rooted in self-criticism, embarrassment, or self-loathing undermine motivation. Examples: "I need to get my life together." "I have to lose weight so I don't look bad." "This year I'll stop being lazy." Why this fails: Shame erodes self-belief and increases anxiety, making lasting change harder—not easier. 3. Don't set vague resolutions Unclear goals are difficult to act on. Examples: "I want to be healthier." "I'll work on myself." "I need better boundaries." Why this fails: Without clear actions or markers of success, procrastination takes over and goals fade. Three DOs Meaning Choose one small, consistent practice that reflects what truly matters to you. Examples: "Every Sunday evening, I'll spend an hour writing, painting, or making music." "Once a week, I'll take a phone-free walk to reflect." Purpose Connect your resolution to generativity—contributing beyond yourself (Erikson, 1950). Examples: "I'll volunteer or mentor through an organization like SCORE or Rotary." Connection Create simple, recurring rituals with others. Example: "I'll schedule a weekly call, walk, or shared meal and treat it as a real commitment." Traditional New Year's resolutions don't fail because people lack discipline. They fail because they're poorly designed—too big, too vague, or rooted in shame. When resolutions focus on "fixing what's wrong," they often lead to self-criticism once early motivation fades. In contrast, resolutions grounded in meaning, purpose, and connection are more sustainable. If you're among the 77% whose resolution didn't stick, don't fall into the shame trap. A broken resolution isn't failure—it's feedback. Reset your expectations, adjust your strategy, and start again with something manageable. Move away from punishment and toward practices that bring joy, meaning, and connection. That shift alone can make the difference between another abandoned resolution and one that truly lasts. May your year be filled with meaning, purpose, and connections that sustain you. (CREDITS: PSYCHOLOGY TODAY)

They explore the themes of exile, identity, and the complexities of Karsa Orlong's character. The discussion highlights the dynamics between Karsa and his companions, the Teblor culture, and the subversion of traditional barbarian tropes in fantasy literature. The participants share their insights and predictions, reflecting on the rich lore and character development that Erikson is known for. In this engaging conversation, the participants delve into the complexities of Karsa Orlong's character from the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. They explore themes of heroism, ancient races, the nature of sacrifice, and the quest for recognition. The discussion also touches on the moral dilemmas faced by characters, particularly Karsa and his grandfather, and the role of children in the narrative. Humor is interwoven throughout the analysis, highlighting the dark yet entertaining aspects of the story.Chapters00:00Introduction to House of Chains06:56Exploring the Prologue and Its Themes17:13Character Dynamics and Exposition in Chapter One23:01Karsa's Journey and Character Development23:16The Nature of Power and Violence25:22The Teblor: Giants and Their Struggles28:10Cultural Decline and Self-Destruction30:36Fantasy Tropes: The Rise and Fall of Civilizations36:19Magic and Its Absence in the Teblor Culture40:59Karsa Orlong: The Barbarian Archetype Revisited44:01Cultural Evolution and Change45:14Character Dynamics: Karsa, Byroth, and Delam49:42Karsa's Complexity: A Character Study54:43Karsa's Journey: Respect and Redemption57:35Humor and Irony in Karsa's Relationships01:00:48The Fork of La Salle: Ancient Races and Mysteries01:03:21The Quest for Peace: A Dark Interpretation01:05:01Character Transformations: The Evolution of Ella01:06:11The Dilemma of Sacrifice: The Teblor's Choices01:08:29The Seven Gods: Myths and Realities01:11:04The Nature of the Defective: Sacrifice or Survival?01:13:18Blood Oil: The Duality of Power and Desire01:17:40Cultural Practices and Historical Oddities01:19:37Literary Reflections on Child CullingSend us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing Blog Page Chewing Forum Film Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPal Support the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts: Jarrod Varsha Chris Jose Carl D.

In this episode of More Yourself, I wanted to share a clip from a recent ADHD Women's Wellbeing live session that explored the concept of generativity versus stagnation —a theme that is very prevalent among late-diagnosed ADHD women.This concept, rooted in Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory, invites us to reflect on how we create meaning and contribute to our own lives and to others as we move through the different stages of adulthood. For those of us who received a diagnosis later in life, this understanding can be transformative. It reminds us that our diagnosis isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new chapter.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What I discuss:Erikson's 8 stages of psychosocial development viewed through a neurodivergent lens.The impact of unconscious masking on ADHD traits and energy levels.The concept of generativity vs. stagnation for late-diagnosed ADHD women.Seeing a late diagnosis as a new chapter for authenticity and evolution.The role of meaningful connection in women's reconnection with their identity post-diagnosis.The power of embracing change in midlife and beyond.Timestamps00:33 – Understanding ADHD and Psychosocial Development03:30 – Overview of Erikson's 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development05:26 – Life Stages Through a Neurodivergent Lens07:17 – Generativity vs. Stagnation Explained07:54 – Generativity as a New Chapter of Potential09:40 – Embracing Change and Authenticity12:16 – Closing Reflections and Personal GrowthJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

What happens when an analyst conducts interviews—and I am not speaking here about interviewing other analysts as we do at NBiP, but rather what happens when an analyst does field research, and researches one of the eternal subjects of our field which is to say love and also, to borrow from Gregorio Kohon, its' vicissitudes? Locating within himself demeaning feelings towards an other—and the setting is a psych ward in India, and in an India that continues to rework its having been partitioned, having partitioned itself, and the other is a Muslim other in a Hindu majority nation—the author, Ashis Roy, wants to know more about what he calls his “communal mind”, a mind that developed in a country where, “Muslims know the Hindu myths but the reverse is not true,” so a mind that was afforded an instant other to deposit its unwanted contents into. His book, Intimacy in Alienation: A Psychoanalytic Study of Hindu-Muslim Relationships, explicates intimacy and asymmetry, as it delves into cross-religious desire, and in this case the forbidden desire of Hindus for Muslims, and Muslims for Hindus, which, when acknowledged, threatens social, familial, and cultural mores, and also the prerogatives of the state. Who are these people, Roy asks, who take such a step, which is a step that can lead to a kind of social death, akin, in the American context from which I write, to the experience of gay people who come out and are brutally shorn of their families, communities, and sometimes their lives? The power of desire, a power beyond us, in excess of ourselves always, can propel us to this vertiginous place. Perhaps, and only perhaps, it can also push us to live in ways that reject socially and politically enforced liminality as well. One starts to imagine these couples, engaged ongoingly by Roy, as healing a malignant split that beats at the heart of contemporary Indian life. Roy's thinking draws from the myriad psychoanalytic theories of Kakar, Green, Erikson, Altman, Bollas, and Phillips, (among others), all of them kings of our trade, many of their names never uttered in the same breath—(I am thinking especially of Green and Altman.) Fascinatingly, he also orients himself to his material by engaging the work of two historians (queens of their own domains) and they are the American, Joan Wallach Scott and rather especially (or that is my read) the Italian scholar Luisa Passerini. Like Roy, Passerini delved deeply into her own milieu, and like Roy she performed interviews with her peers who participated in what is commonly called the anni interessante in Italy (known for its red brigades, the murder of Aldo Moro, wildcat strikes in the auto industry alongside acts of student solidarity) all of which happened while she was in Africa. Her book, Autobiography of a Generation (1983), reads as an effort to be in touch with something fundamental about her homeland that she missed. My impression is that Intimacy in Alienation serves a similar purpose for Roy, who realizes that there is a world nearby that remained visually and affectively sidelined. Both wanted to see what had previously been, for various reasons, scotomized. Learn more about your ad choices.

HEADLINE: Erikson, Sagas, and Vinland Location BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The source focuses on the westward journey from Greenland, established by Erik the Red, to lands sighted by storm-driven sailors. His son, Leif Erikson, led expeditions around 1000 AD to Helluland (Baffin Island) and Markland (Labrador). This history is recorded in the Saga of Erik the Red (13th century) and the Saga of the Greenlanders (14th century). They reached a land they called Vinland, described as having wild grapes and wheat, suggesting a mild climate and abundant timber. The small population in Greenland ultimately hindered sustained settlement. Based on where wild grapes (like the fox grape) and wheat grow, Vinland must have been located significantly further south than Newfoundland, possibly reaching New Brunswick or New England.

The future belongs to organizations that engineer ecosystems with spacecraft-level precision. Carol Erikson reveals the breakthrough: applying aerospace systems engineering to organizational transformation unlocks exponential performance gains across speed, cost, and effectiveness.After 30 years leading aerospace missions and digital transformation at Northrop Grumman, Erikson discovered the paradigm that will define next-generation ecosystems: simultaneous execution of seemingly contradictory strategies. Aerospace-grade systems thinking creates adaptive networks that thrive under pressure, delivering breakthrough results while traditional approaches stagnate.Paradigm Shifts:→ Vision as Gravitational Force: Common vision doesn't just align - it functions as engineered gravity in human systems. Erikson reveals how aerospace teams design a "gravitational pull" that keeps ecosystem components in an orbital relationship, even when individual motivations diverge.→ The Common Good Framework Revolution: Notre Dame researchers are developing the first systematic merger of DARPA's decades-proven AI "Common Test Framework" with ethics and trust mechanisms. This could become the universal operating system for human-AI ecosystem governance.→ Systematic Insensitivity Protocol: Mission-critical ecosystems engineer deliberate "noise immunity" - systematic insensitivity to geopolitical chaos while maintaining collaborative urgency. Organizations that master this protocol gain a significant advantage during periods of fragmentation.→ Big Rocks/Little Rocks Simultaneity: The counter-intuitive discovery that breakthrough transformation requires engineering for massive multi-year "big rock" changes AND rapid "little rock" wins simultaneously - with mathematical precision about which rocks to move when in the system architecture of change itself.Ecosystem Impact:→ Competition as Engineered Energy Source: Erikson reveals how to design "healthy competition" as a system component - transforming competitive dynamics from problem to managed energy that accelerates ecosystem performance→ Interface Checkpoint Architecture: Human-AI collaboration designed with spacecraft-level interface specifications - measurable checkpoints, defined limits, and systematic trust mechanisms rather than hoping for organic adoption→ Duplication-of-Effort Diagnostic: When transformation pilots proliferate in isolation, it signals the need for systematic integration. Organizations can now engineer transformation rather than managing random change initiatives→ The Data-First Cascade Effect: Digital transformation follows aerospace assembly sequences - data quality and infrastructure must precede AI deployment, creating predictable transformation timelines and success metrics Innovation: Applying aerospace systems engineering methodology to organizational transformation - treating culture change, digital infrastructure, and stakeholder alignment as integrated system components with defined interfaces, requirements, and failure modes. First systematic approach to engineering human ecosystems with spacecraft-level reliability. Strategic Application: Any mission-critical ecosystem facing simultaneous pressure for speed, cost reduction, and performance improvement. Particularly powerful for regulated industries, defense contractors, healthcare systems, and infrastructure organizations where failure isn't an option.Strategic Reframe: The most adaptive ecosystems will shift from asking "How do we manage organizational change?" to engineering the question: "What are the mathematical interface specifications for human-system collaboration at ecosystem scale - and how do we systematically design predictable behavioral outcomes using aerospace-level precision rather than hoping for emergent organizational alignment?"The Hidden Revolution: Erikson reveals the birth of "Human Systems Engineering" - a new discipline treating human ecosystems as designable systems with engineered interfaces, quantifiable performance metrics, and predictable behavioral outcomes. Organizations that master this approach don't just transform faster; they engineer a sustainable competitive advantage through systematic human-system integration.Guest: Carol Erikson, Founder & President, Erikson Mission Solutions | Former VP Digital Transformation, Northrop GrummanHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-founder, Annunziata Desai AdvisorsSeries Hosts:Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA onvergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

Investable! When Pandemic Risk Meets Speculative Finance (MIT Press, 2025) by Dr. Susan Erikson presents a critical and sobering look at how international bankers and investors turn pandemics into investment opportunities, and what we stand to lose when we rely on “innovative finance.” In a world increasingly defined by crisis, bankers and investors behind the scenes turn catastrophes like pandemics into financial securities that can be bought and sold. Offering new insights into how the excesses of capitalism shape pandemic preparedness, Investable! is an ethnography of World Bank bonds designed to solve a big-ticket global health problem by getting international investors to gamble on future crises. In this first book-length treatment of pandemic bonds, award-winning medical anthropologist Dr. Erikson explains how we got here and asks who should hold the responsibility for the terrible things that happen to people, at a time when pandemics are turned into casinos.Dr. Erikson, who traveled over 300,000 miles conducting research for the book, takes readers from the red clay roads of West Africa to the concrete sidewalks of New York City and London's financial districts, telling the stories of the people, the special interests, and the logics of pandemic bonds. Original, insightful, and extremely timely, Dr. Erikson's lively interdisciplinary exploration tells readers in powerful, vibrant prose about the pitfalls of contemporary global health finance “solutions.” Written for a smart general audience concerned about capitalism's effect on human health, Investable! will appeal to financiers; politicians; economists; people working in global development, health care, and international affairs; and anyone who wants to better understand how capitalism affects how we care for one another in times of crisis. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

It's Friday, September 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Iranian Christian denied a retrial for practicing his faith Mehran Shamloui, an Iranian Christian convert from Islam, has been denied a retrial for his case by the Iranian Supreme Court, reports International Christian Concern.  Shamloui was arrested in 2024 and, in March 2025, was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in prison simply for participating in a house church. The charges against him included “propaganda activities contrary to Islamic law,” and “membership in groups opposing the state.”  He was released from jail after he posted bail in late 2024. He fled the country and intended to travel to Europe, but was stopped in Turkey. He was deported to Iran in July 2025 because he was missing formal documentation.  Shamloui is currently serving his sentence in Iran's Evin Prison, a notoriously deplorable institution known for mistreating its prisoners, including Christians.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Iran is an Islamic Republic and a known persecutor of the Christian community. Bibles written in Farsi, the official language of Iran, are strictly prohibited, as is discussing Jesus with Muslims to share the gospel with them. Hadi Ghaemi, the executive director of The Center for Human Rights in Iran, said, “The Christian community in Iran is facing a crisis. The Iranian authorities are abducting growing numbers of Christians and throwing absurd national security charges at them in order to imprison them for years for doing nothing other than peacefully practicing their faith.” NY Attorney General vs. TX Attorney General over Abortion Kill Pill Far-left Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James is intervening in Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's attempt to prosecute an abortionist for mailing abortion kill pills from one state to the other to undermine Texas's pro-life laws, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Paxton first filed his lawsuit in December 2024 against abortionist Margaret Carpenter, founder of the “Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine.”  Paxton alleged that Carpenter “unlawfully provided a Collin County resident with abortion-inducing drugs that ended the life of an unborn child and resulted in serious complications for the mother, who then required medical intervention.” Carpenter is not licensed to practice medicine in Texas. Subsequently, in February 2025, Judge Bryan Gantt of North Texas ordered Carpenter to stop sending abortion kill pills into the state and to pay a $100,000 fine. (Carpenter also faces charges out of Louisiana for the same).  So far, New York officials have protected the abortionist from consequences via the state's shield law, which bars cooperation with other states concerning laws against abortion. Paxton has challenged the shield law and sued the Ulster County, New York clerk who refused to enforce the fine. Americans celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination held accountable The Secret Service, several U.S. airlines, Office Depot, and Nasdaq said they were among more than 30 employers that have sanctioned or fired employees in reaction to their disturbing statements about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, reports The Washington Post. Regarding the Secret Service, an agent named Anthony Pough wrote on Facebook, “If you are mourning this guy .. delete me,” in reference to Kirk's killing. Pough accused Kirk of spewing “hate and racism on his show.” Roughly three dozen workers are reported to have been suspended or fired over their responses to Kirk's murder, including employees of Clemson University, MSNBC, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Carolina Panthers. Plus, several local fire departments and school districts said they had also suspended or terminated employees over their remarks. WLBT-TV reports that Lauren Stokes, the executive assistant for the Vice Chancellor of Development at the University of Mississippi, was fired for her anti-Kirk comments. She allegedly wrote, “For decades, yt [white] supremacist and reimagined Klan members like Kirk have wreaked havoc on our communities, condemning children and the populace at large to mass death for the sake of keeping their automatic guns. … So no, I have no prayers to offer Kirk or respectable statements against violence.” WNDU reports that 18-year-old Camryn Giselle Booker, a college student at Texas Tech, was expelled after a video of her publicly celebrating Charlie Kirk's death went viral.  In the video, she is jumping around and yelling at students paying tribute to Kirk on the Lubbock, Texas campus. Listen. BOOKER: “Your homie dead. He got shot in the head. Your homie dead. He got shot in the head.” After Booker was expelled, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott posted this comment on X. “Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech!” Felicia Branch, a professor at the University of Arkansas, is on administrative leave over her vile social media post, reports the Arkansas Times. She wrote, “No, I will not pull back from CELEBRATING that an evil man died by the method he chose to embrace.  Don't tell someone who has been targeted by people like him how to feel, how not to post, how not to celebrate, that he can no longer inflict his brand of evil.” She added that Kirk is “an evil person [who] is no longer on this earth causing immense suffering.” Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has called for Professor Felicia Branch to be fired. ABC yanked Jimmy Kimmel over Charlie Kirk comments And yesterday, ABC indefinitely suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for inappropriate comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, reports Newsbusters.org. Here's the soundbite from Monday night. KIMMEL: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid, [Tyler Robinson], who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” Conservative talk show host Erik Erikson  called out the leftist comedian. He said, “What Kimmel was doing was participating in the creation of the leftwing talking point that Kirk's assassin was on the right. He did not have to participate. [Kimmel] chose to participate and circulate what was obviously, even on Monday, a lie. On top of that, it was not funny. It was hectoring and cruel.” Erikson reported that the primary reason Kimmel is no longer on the ABC program schedule is because of the influence of Nexstar, a moderately right-leaning group of stations, that controls 32 significant ABC affiliates including New Orleans, Nashville, Syracuse, Albany, and Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan. Nexstar decided to stop airing Kimmel's program. Star Spangled Banner's God-honoring fourth verse And finally, on September 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Key was a Washington attorney sent to the British navy to secure the release of a prisoner during the War of 1812. During his mission, the British bombarded Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. The sight of the American flag continuing to fly over the fort despite the barrage inspired the verses in the song. Congress officially made it the national anthem over a hundred years later. The opening verse is well known. But the later verses are more obscure. Listen to David Hedrick, a former Marine, sing the last half of verse four. HEDRICK: “Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust;” And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” (applause) Indeed, Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, September 19th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Episode SummaryErin and Rachel wallow through an elderly man's grief journey with Pixar's critically acclaimed Up (2009). They argue the beautiful art and cute sidekicks aren't enough to redeem this (admittedly beloved) film, especially since the (admittedly moving) love story invokes the classic “dead wife” trope. We'll keep sailing our balloon house onto the next one, please and thank you. Episode BibliographyAdler, S. (2008, August 7).

Bauchelain and Korbal Broach are back—and things are as dark, grotesque, and hilarious as ever. In this episode, I review The Second Collected Tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach by Steven Erikson, which bundles together three novellas: The Crack'd Pot Trail (2009), The Wurms of Blearmouth (2012), and The Fiends of Nightmaria (2016).Join me for a spoiler-lite look at each tale, plus my thoughts on why this collection is such a bizarrely fun romp through the Malazan world—even if it doesn't connect directly to the larger series. From cannibal poets to corrupt coastal despots to religious fanatics, these stories are less about the infamous necromantic duo themselves and more about the chaos they leave in their wake. And of course, long-suffering Emancipor Reese is along for the ride.Whether you're a Malazan veteran or just curious about Erikson's twisted sense of humor, this collection might be for you.

Back to school can be challenging for families. I find that many moms I talk to are more susceptible to the "Am I doing enough?" question this time of year. Add to that, we are all starting all our routines from scratch again, and kids are being required to do more structured time. All that gives a full recipe for meltdown (and not just for the kids). Let's talk to veteran mom Jamie Erickson about navigating back to school with grace!-Why do you think we still struggle with overwhelm as moms? -Was back-to-school overwhelming for you as a mom? -What are some things you did to help with your start-of-year rhythm? -If someone wants to start off strong, what can they do? More info about Around the Ancient World HERE!!You can find ⁠Jamie Erikson and her book "⁠Overwhelmed Mom⁠"You can find Elizabeth writing helpful hints ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping you love Jesus and disciple your kids ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or get access to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Additional study resources here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Original Music written and recorded by Jonathan Camenisch *affiliate links are used when appropriate.

In early 1948, Los Angeles couples were terrorized by a series of robberies and car thefts committed by a criminal the press dubbed “The Red Light Bandit,” a reference to the red light he used to flag down his victims. Fortunately, the bandit's crime spree was quickly cut short when police arrested Caryl Chessman, a Los Angeles resident with a criminal history going back to his teen years.Chessman was charged with multiple counts of robbery, rape, grand theft, and because of an unusual interpretation of events, he was also charged with kidnapping. Due to the attachment of kidnapping, several of the charges were defined as a capital offense and Chessman was convicted and sentenced to death.In the years following his conviction, Chessman's death sentence became a source of considerable controversy—an already controversial sentence applied in a non-lethal case due to a bizarre application of the law. For ten years, Chessman fought the sentence all the way to the US Supreme Court, with support from a wide variety of sources, both notable and ordinary.
