(0:00) Intro(1:26) About the podcast sponsor: The American College of Governance Counsel(2:13) Start of interview(2:45) Robin's origin story(3:55) About the AI Law and Innovation Institute.(5:02) On AI governance: "AI is critical for boards, both from a risk management perspective and from a regulatory management perspective." Boards should: 1) Get regular updates on safety and regulatory issues, 2) document the attention that they're paying to it to have a record of meaningful oversight, and 3) Most importantly, boards can't just rely on feedback from the folks in charge of the AI tools. They need a red team of skeptics.(9:58) Boards and AI Ethics. Robin's Rules of Order for AI. Rule #1: Distinguish Real-time Dangers from Distant Dangers(15:21) Antitrust Concerns in AI(18:10) Geopolitical Tensions in AI Race (US v China). "Winning the AI race is essential for the US, both from an economic and from a national security perspective."(23:30) Regulatory Framework for AI "It really isn't one size fits all for AI regulation. Europe, for the most part, is a consumer nation of AI. We are a producer nation of AI, and California in particular is a producer of AI." "There must be strong partnerships in this country between those developing cutting-edge technology and the government—because while the government holds the power, Silicon Valley holds the expertise to understand what this technology truly means."(26:46) California's AI Regulation Efforts "I do believe that over time, at some point, we will need a more comprehensive system that probably overshadows what the individual states will do, or at least cabins to some extent what the individual states will do. It will be a problem to have 50 different approaches to this, or even 20 different approaches to this within the country."(29:03) AI in the Financial Industry(33:13) Future Trends in AI. "I think the key for boards and companies is to be alert and to be nimble" and "as hard as it is, brush up a bit on your math and science, if that's not your area of expertise." "My point is simply, you have to understand these things under the hood if you're going to be able to think about what to do with them."(35:43) Her new book "AI vs IP. Rewriting Creativity" (coming out July 2025).(37:12) Key Considerations for Board Members: "It's about being nimble, staying proactive and having a proven track record of it. Most importantly, you need a red team approach."(38:26) Books that have greatly influenced her life:Rashi's Commentary on the BibleTalmud(39:06) Her mentors.Professor Robert WeisbergProfessor Gerald Gunther(41:39) Quotes that she thinks of often or lives her life by: "The cover-up's always worse than the crime."(42:34) An unusual habit or an absurd thing that she loves. Robin Feldman is the Arthur J.

Relationship anarchy is a radical approach to relationships that goes beyond just rejecting traditional monogamy. Relationship anarchists believe that relationships should never involve having power over each other, in the form of holding each other to obligations. So, for example, relationship anarchists reject the idea of restricting one's partner from entering into any form of intimacy with anyone, even with mutual friends. They also reject any hierarchy of relationships - for example having a central relationship with one person whose agreement is needed for you to have relationships with other people. For relationship anarchists, all relationships should be approached individually and no relationship should involve placing restrictions on any partner. Natasha McKeever, and Luke Brunning, all based at the IDEA Centre, have been looking critically at the ethics of relationship anarchy, and I spoke to all three of them in a wide-ranging conversation about this fascinating topic. Some links to further reading:A 'Short Instructional Manifesto for Relationship Anarchy'An article by Aleksander Sørlie, Ole Martin Moen on The Ethics of Relationship Anarchy.A book about relationship anarchy by by Juan-Carlos Pérez-Cortés.Book your place at our public event with Gavin Esler, "Dead Cats, Strategic Lying and Truth Decay", here.

Today on Online for Authors, guest-host Carole O'Neill interviews Audrey Gale, author of the book The Human Trial. Audrey Gale long dreamed of being a writer, but never anticipated the circuitous road she'd take to get there. After twenty-plus years in the banking industry, she grew tired of corporate gamesmanship and pursued her master's in fiction writing at the University of Southern California.   Her first novel, a legal thriller entitled The Sausage Maker's Daughters, was published under the name A.G.S. Johnson. The novel explores one woman's struggle to find her place amidst the upheaval of the radical 1960s. Her second, The Human Trial, is the first book in a medical-thriller trilogy inspired by Gale's own experiences with the gap between traditional medicine and approaches based on the findings of the great physicists of the 20th Century, like Einstein and Bohr. Both The Sausage Maker's Daughters and The Human Trial incorporate Gale's fascination with historical and scientific research, and always with women finding their places.   Gale lives in Los Angeles with her husband and dogs where she is found hiking the Santa Monica Mountains every chance she gets.   In her book review, Carole stated that The Human Trial showed that a small number of high school students graduate early and get accepted into a college program of their dreams. Very few graduate high school at 16 years old and go on to get a full-ride at Harvard University. However, Randy Archer, the son of a steel-mill worker in Pennsylvania, does just that.   Audrey, the author of The Human Trial, takes you back to the 1920s, against the backdrop of The Great Depression, and introduces us to Archer as he is still living at home with his father and older brothers. They all expect him to follow them to a life in the steel mill. He has another idea, but no financial way to fulfill that dream.   Gale describes how Archer defies the odds, with the help of his high school counselor and her friend at Harvard. She convinces Archer he will be mentored alone the way to a degree at the prestigious university unavailable to many.   During his years as a graduate student studying to become a pathology researcher, he meets a physics student, Adam Wakefield, working on his PhD. He's developed a much-advanced microscope which allows the two students to discover a way to offer a non-traditional healing method to terminal patients.   There is, of course, a love interest that Archer can't quite understand. Why such a beautiful girl from Boston's Beacon Hill would be interested in him, stymies him. Gale keeps you believing they will make the perfect marriage, or will they?   The Human Trial has something for everyone: medical science, academic scheming, blue-collared families vs. Boston Brauhmans, and an impossible secret discovery everyone wants a piece of. This is a book that will keep you pulling for the underdog until the final pages.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Audrey Gale Website: https://audreygaleauthor.com/ FB: @Audrey Gale Author IG: @audreygaleauthor   Purchase The Human Trial on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3DquTdM Ebook: https://amzn.to/4hgoaRm   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

In this episode, Joe Hamilton sits down with Kelly McBride—Senior VP at the Poynter Institute, NPR Public Editor, and Chair of the Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership—for a wide-ranging conversation on news diets, media trust, AI's role in journalism and the fading sense of local connection. From dopamine-driven doomscrolling to the potential of AI agents as personal information curators, they explore how we consume news, why it matters, and what gets lost in the process. It's thoughtful, candid and packed with insights for anyone trying to make sense of the modern media landscape.

Fresh from the Archives of the Impossible conference at Rice University, Kelly and Jay sit down to unpack one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend—a provocative presentation by Dr. Garry Nolan on his involvement with the Skywatcher initiative.Skywatcher is an emerging public-facing effort claiming to demonstrate CE5-style contact, utilize psionic assets, with the aim of potentially reverse-engineering non-human technologies. The implications are enormous—and so are the questions.In this wide-ranging, deeply reflective conversation, Kelly and Jay explore:The strange and rapid emergence of Skywatcher and the implications for the disclosure movementThe increasingly blurred lines between whistleblower testimony, media spectacle, and operational theaterThe question of who's leading the charge into direct contact with non-human intelligences—and whyThe need to balance the objectives of science and venture capital against humanitarian, ethical, and philosophical questions in our quest for contact—and why that will almost certainly not happen.The potential cost of accelerating contact without asking the deeper metaphysical, spiritual, and cultural questionsWatch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cosmosis.PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS02:18 Exploring Sky Watcher's Initiatives03:38 Jake Barber's Revelations05:22 CE-5 and Public Disclosure07:16 Community Reactions and Ethical Questions15:39 Garry Nolan's Scientific Perspective20:56 Technological Worldview and Ethical Implications30:03 Heidegger's Philosophy and Technology39:20 The Value of Human Life in a Technological Age40:17 The Ethical Implications of Technological Intelligence43:55 The Concept of Hyper Objects and UFO Phenomena45:54 The Great Filter and Technological Surveillance47:52 The Role of Experience in Understanding Phenomena51:19 The Spectacle and Mediated Reality56:09 Dwelling vs. Dominating: A Philosophical Approach To Contact01:05:31 The Importance of Bracketing in Phenomenology01:07:57 Balancing Speed and Methodology in Disclosure01:11:00 Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions

Who, if anyone, is speaking truth to power these days?In the Season 12 finale of Hotel Bar Sessions, we take a deep dive into Michel Foucault's late lectures on parrhesia, the ancient Greek concept of "fearless speech." But don't be fooled—this isn't a dusty historical exercise. With campuses erupting in protest, free speech weaponized by the powerful, and truth-tellers increasingly under threat, parrhesia has never felt more urgent. What does it mean to speak truth to power today—and who is still brave enough to do it?The HBS co-hosts unpack Foucault's insights with characteristic wit and depth, drawing connections from Socrates to student protestors, from trans youth testifying in state legislatures to comedians canceled by the White House Correspondents' Association. Is free speech still possible in a fractured political landscape? Can parrhesia survive in an age of rhetorical manipulation and moral cowardice? And what's the difference between being “canceled” and actually being in danger?This episode doesn't just explain Foucault's concept of parrhesia—it performs it. If you've ever wondered whether truth-telling still matters in a time of disinformation, performative politics, and rising authoritarianism, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Tune in for our Season 12 send-off, and stick around to find out who we believe the real parrhesiastes are today.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-177-totalitarianism-with-peg-birmingham-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

This week on Clutch Conversations, Brett Towers of Jersey Guys Balls stops byto discuss a topic that too many avoid—ethics in the ball python industry. From questionable breeding and selling practices to how sellers represent their animals, we dig into the gray areas, the responsibilities breeders carry, and how the next generation of keepers can elevate the game with transparency and integrity.Tap in for a real conversation that might ruffle feathers—but needs to be heard.

In this eye-opening episode of The Joe Cohen Show, Joe sits down with microbiologist and biotech entrepreneur Kiran Krishnan to dismantle the myths and marketing hype surrounding microbiome testing. Drawing parallels between the DNA and microbiome industries, they expose the scientific shortcuts, technological flaws, and misleading health claims being sold to consumers.Krishnan, the mind behind one of the few microbiome platforms used in published research, breaks down what a legitimate test looks like and why most tests on the market fall short, sometimes by as much as 70% in accuracy. The conversation also explores probiotics in depth, why strain specificity matters, and how consumers can make more informed decisions when navigating this complex and evolving space.Whether you're a health professional or someone trying to optimize your gut, this episode will help you separate science from sales.

Happy Friday Everyone! Per usual, some of this week's updates might sound like science fiction, but they're all very real, and they're all shaping how we work, think, and live. From luxury AI agents to cognitive offloading, celebrity space travel, and extinct species revival, we're at a very interesting crossroads between innovation and intentionality while trying to make sure we don't burn it all down.With that, let's get to it!OpenAI's $20K/Month AI Agent - A new tier of OpenAI's GPT offering is reportedly arriving soon, but it won't be for your average consumer. Clocking in at $20,000/month this is a premium offering to say the least. It's marketed as PhD-level and capable of autonomous research in advanced disciplines like biology, engineering, and physics. It's a move away from democratizing access and seems to widening the gap between tech haves and have-nots.AI is Causing Cognitive Decay - A journalist recently had a rude awakening when he started recognizing ChatGPT left him unable to write simple messages without help. Sound extreme? It's not. I unpack the rising data on cognitive offloading and the subtle danger of letting machines doing our thinking for us. Now, to be clear, this isn't about fear mongering. It's about using AI intentionally while keeping your human skills sharp.Blue Origin's All-Female Space Crew - Bezos' Blue Origin made headlines by launching an all-female celebrity crew into space, and it definitely made the headlines, but many weren't positive. Is this really societal progress, a PR stunt, or somewhere in between? I explore the symbolism, the potential, and the complexity behind these headline-grabbing stunts as well as what they say about our cultural priorities.The Revival of the Dire Wolf - Headlines say scientists have brought a species back from extinction. Have people not seen Jurassic Park?! Seriously though, is this really the ancient dire wolf, or have we created a genetically modified echo? I dig into the science, the hype, and the deeper question of, “just because we can bring something back… should we?”Let me know which story grabbed you most in the comments—and if you're asking different questions now than before you listened. That's the goal.Show Notes:In this Weekly Update, Christopher covers a range of topics including the launch of OpenAI's GPT-4.5 model and its potential implications, the dangers of AI-related cognitive decay and dependency, the environmental and societal impacts of Blue Origin's recent all-female celebrity space trip, and the ethical considerations of de-extincting species like the dire wolf.

Cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern, but innovative approaches and community-based research are transforming prevention efforts, particularly immigrant communities. With over 600,000 new cases diagnosed annually, early detection and prevention strategies are crucial. However, accessibility and awareness gaps persist in immigrant communities due to language barriers, cultural stigma, and limited healthcare access. Community-based research plays a pivotal role in bridging these gaps. In engaging local populations through culturally sensitive outreach ensures that prevention strategies are accepted and effective. University of Miami Chief Health Equity Officer, Dr. Erin Kobetz, discusses how integrating cutting-edge technology with community engagement, moves us closer to reducing cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates, fostering a healthier future for immigrant populations.

Cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern, but innovative approaches and community-based research are transforming prevention efforts, particularly immigrant communities. With over 600,000 new cases diagnosed annually, early detection and prevention strategies are crucial. However, accessibility and awareness gaps persist in immigrant communities due to language barriers, cultural stigma, and limited healthcare access.

On this episode I talk to the Agnes Callard about the great Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. We discuss Agnes' new book Open Socrates: The Case for A Philosophical Life [Penguin, 2025]. Agnes and I discuss the themes of Open Socrates, focusing on philosophy as a public, outward-looking practice, Socrates' call to examine life is framed not just as introspection but as active engagement and testing of the self through dialogue. We also discuss the role of Socrates as both a provocateur (gadfly) and a guide (midwife), emphasizing his commitment to universal, non-exclusive inquiry. Philosophy is portrayed as a response to “savage commands” -the urgent demands of body, society, and mortality - challenging us to become more resolute and reflective. We also discuss free speech, equality, justice, loneliness, the death of Socrates and lots more! Agnes is an Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Chicago. She received her BA from the University of Chicago in 1997 and her PhD from Berkeley in 2008. Her primary areas of specialization are Ancient Philosophy and Ethics.  She is the author of Aspiration: The Agency of Becoming [Oxford U.P, 2017]. She has authored essays for numerous publications such as The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Point, and co-hosts the podcast Minds Almost Meeting. You can view her university profile here.

Chances are, you've seen the headlines that the dire wolf is no longer extinct. The company Colossal Biosciences claims to have brought it back from extinction in the form of three living, breathing dire wolf pups.But my headlines have actually been flooded with scientists saying “not so fast…” so what is really going on here? Having studied African forest elephants using genetics during my Ph.D., a species related to the extinct woolly mammoth and a target of de-extinction efforts, this topic has long been on my mind to discuss on the podcast. Given the recent dire wolf news, I've been getting so many questions about this, that I thought it would be a great time to discuss this and prepared this episode as soon as I could (despite a myriad of technical difficulties). De-extinction is the concept of bringing back a fully extinct species back to life and as you've seen now as evidenced from the dire wolves, scientists are actively working on it. But should they be? And why? First, I break down the dire wolf headlines, offering insight into the scientific process of de-extinction as a whole, how the team at Colossal Biosciences approached de-extinction and why, and how most scientists feel about their result: Are these really dire wolves? I then open up to a larger conversation about de-extinction: why are scientists attempting to de-extinct species at all? Is there conservation merit in doing so? Which species are being considered? I address a plethora of topics as well as moral and ethical considerations. Specifically, I go over: What exactly is de-extinction and how it can be doneWhy de-extinction is so hard to actually doHow Colossal Biosciences resurrected what they are calling the dire wolfWhat scientists think of Colossal's dire wolves; are they really dire wolves? Why or why not?Insights on how scientists think about species in generalWhat else goes into a species being a species aside from geneticsWhat is the point of de-extinction? Why should scientists attempt it? Which kinds of species are being considered?My opinions on de-extinction: which species are okay to bring back and whyDoes de-extinction help conservation? How? How de-extinction can hurt conservation effortsHow the Trump administration is attempting to use de-extinction efforts to undermine the Endangered Species ActAnd more!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

What do you do when the mentor you trusted becomes the monster you never saw coming?Today we have Elizabeth Purvis on the show. Elizabeth thought she had found her match: a magnetic spiritual leader with a bold vision, unshakeable confidence, and a promise to unlock the deepest realms of transformation and magic. But behind the veil of light and leadership, something darker simmered. In this gripping episode, Elizabeth recounts her long and complex relationship with Betty, tracing it from fascination to disillusionment—and ultimately, reclamation.Drawn in by Betty's charisma and promise of elevated consciousness, spiritual mastery, and access to powerful circles, Elizabeth entered with eyes wide open. What she didn't expect was how quickly admiration would blur into confusion, betrayal, and manipulation.We follow Elizabeth's path through cognitive dissonance, spiritual gaslighting, and professional entanglement—including being hired by Betty herself. As the cracks widened, Elizabeth faced the truth: this wasn't a sacred mentorship. It was a trauma-fueled hierarchy, propped up by smoke, mirrors, and energetic puppeteering.But this isn't a story of defeat—it's a story of discernment and power reclaimed. With brutal honesty, Elizabeth shares how she finally broke the spell, buried the illusion, and spoke the words that needed to be said.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:53) In Today's Episode...

Dan and Ellen talk with John Mooney, the founder of NJ Spotlight News, a digital nonprofit that's part of NJ PBS, the state's public broadcasting network. Mooney, who covered education for The Star-Ledger in Newark, took a buyout in 2008, put together a business plan, and launched their site in 2010 under the auspices of the nonprofit Community Foundation of New Jersey.  While Spotlight was making a mark journalistically, it wasn't breaking even, and its sponsor, the Community Foundation, was getting impatient. After extensive talks, Mooney affiliated with NJ PBS. The name changed to NJ Spotlight News, and the merger means true collaboration between the newsrooms. Both the broadcast and digital sides take part in news meetings. (In a previous podcast, Northeastern University professor and TV journalist Mike Beaudet discussed his initiative aimed at reinventing TV news for a vertical video age.)  As Dan wrote in "What Works in Community News," the story of NJ PBS and NJ Spotlight News suggests that public broadcasting can play a role in bolstering coverage of regional and statewide news. It's a question of bringing together two different newsroom cultures. There's also a Yo-Yo Ma angle! Ellen has a Quick Take about the death of John Thornton, a venture capitalist who helped launch The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit newsroom in Austin, in 2009. He also was a founder of the American Journalism Project, which supports local digital newsrooms around the country. Thornton, who had struggled with mental health issues, took his own life. He was 59. Dan has a Quick Take about our webinar on “The Ethics of Nonprofit News,” which was held the evening of April 3. Panelists gave great advice about what board members and donors need to know, and the video can be found on the website, whatworks.news. 

Recently, a Dallas-based biotech company, Colossal Biosciences, announced that it has been able to resurrect a species of wolf that went extinct around 12,500 years ago. It claims these dire wolves are the “world's first successfully de-extincted animals.” What does this mean for science, ecosystems, and society? In this conversation with Sarthak Pradhan, Shambhavi Naik shares her insights on the methods used by Colossal, the potential consequences of this breakthrough, the ethical concerns it raises and its implications for policymakers around the world.The PGP is a comprehensive 48-week hybrid programme tailored for those aiming to delve deep into the theoretical and practical aspects of public policy.

Dan and Jordan continue to discuss the role of morals and ethics within the youth ministry setting, looking especially at specific examples of cultural moments in the past few months.

The recent publication of Melissa Moschella's Ethics, Politics, and Natural Law has renewed interest in the application of natural law to human flourishing. A topic that has undergone a resurgence among not only Catholics, but also Protestants with seminal publications from those like David VanDrunen, Micah Watson, and Andrew T. Walker. Seeing students engaging in this tradition has been rewarding and today I speak to one of those students, Josiah Wolfe, and his article in the Campbell Law Observer entitled, Natural Law and Its Discontents. We talk about the early stages of his interest in the topic, whether he's seeing the natural law in his assignment, how he approaches Aquinas and law, the relationship between legislation and divine ordinance, and much more. Josiah is a second-year law student at Campbell University School of Law and is a Staff Writer for the Campbell Law Observer. He grew up in North Carolina and graduated summa cum laude from Charter Oak College with a B.S. in Business Administration. He was also a CLS Fellow in 2024. Cross & Gavel is a production of CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY. The episode was produced by Josh Deng, with music from Vexento.

In this episode, Russell Moore, editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, joins Mark Labberton to discuss the seismic political, moral, cultural, and spiritual crises facing American evangelicalism and how to respond. Reflecting on his own journey from the Southern Baptist Convention to his current role, Moore offers a candid and theologically rich diagnosis of a movement he describes as simultaneously fragmented, bored, and longing for renewal. Drawing parallels to historical awakenings and moments of global upheaval, Moore challenges listeners to consider what faithful Christian witness looks like in a time of digital saturation, political idolatry, and ecclesial disillusionment. Together, they wrestle with how evangelical institutions can resist becoming co-opted by market forces or ideologies, and instead return to the soul of the gospel—Jesus himself. Episode Highlights “We simply want Jesus as revealed in scripture.” (Russell Moore) “The good news is so clouded with distorted noise.” (Mark Labberton) “You mistakenly think that the solution has to be at the same scale as the problem.” (Wendall Berry, cited by Russell Moore) “Every person has to have an act of willful excommunication.” (Nicholas Carr, cited by Russell Moore) “Christian Nationalism is like ‘Bizarro Evangelicalism' … i f you can get external conformity, then you have righteousness.” (Russell Moore) Karl Barth on Christian disillusionment during World War I: “We  we want to preach the gospel as though nothing has happened.” … “ He's saying the church is being co-opted and used by forces alien to it. And there have to be people who are free from that to actually appeal to the genuine gospel and to remind people that God is God.” About Russell Moore Russell Moore is Editor in Chief of Christianity Today and is the author of Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America (Penguin Random House). The Wall Street Journal has called Moore “vigorous, cheerful, and fiercely articulate.” He was named in 2017 to Politico Magazine's list of top fifty influence-makers in Washington, and has been profiled by such publications as the New York Times, the Washington Post, TIME Magazine, **and the New Yorker. An ordained Baptist minister, Moore served previously as President of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and, before that, as the chief academic officer and dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he also taught theology and ethics. Moore was a Fellow at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics and currently serves on the board of the Becket Law and as a Senior Fellow with the Trinity Forum in Washington, D.C. He also hosts the weekly podcast The Russell Moore Show and is co-host of Christianity Today's weekly news and analysis podcast, The Bulletin. Russell was President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention from 2013 to 2021. Prior to that role, Moore served as provost and dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, where he also taught theology and ethics. A native Mississippian, he and his wife Maria are the parents of five sons. They live in Nashville, where he teaches the Bible regularly at their congregation, Immanuel Church. Show Notes Comparing Christianity Today and Fuller Theological Seminary Religious reconsiderations post-World War II “My grandfather was blown out of a tank by the Nazis in the Battle of the Bulge and came back. He went an unbeliever, came back really feeling his mortality and, and searching for answers. And ended up at a revival meeting where he came to know Christ.” A false choice presented to Christians: “You had this false choice being presented to Christians … you either go with an ever narrowing, ever quarrelsome sort of group of fundamentalists or you liberalize.” Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, Jr. The recent history of Evangelical Christianity A Movement in Crisis: What is the state of Evangelicalism in America? Revival preachers and entrepreneurialism: a religious, market-driven reality “Lifelessness and deadness” “ I can't think of a single church that has split over Christology. Most of the arguments have to do with politics and, and related sort of cultural issues because that's what people really care about and what they really think often is important.” Tumult of the digital economy Alienation, dehumanization: “We can simultaneously think of ourselves as gods and as sets of data and algorithms.” Speed of change and life Teaching ethics: a final exam question students have never thought about How to prepare people for ethical problems and real-life challenges Mental health crisis: “high rates of depression and anxiety driven by a piece of glass that everybody carries in his or her pocket that can connect that person with all of the information in the entire world.” 100 years since the invention and use of the microphone No microphones, but extraordinary voices “The dials are askew, because the sound that evangelicalism is evoking in so many quadrants is a sound that is hostile and grading and brash and arrogant.” “The good news is so clouded with distorted noise.” Secularization How Evangelicalism appeals to people: End Times Prophecy, Marriage and Family Values, and Shocking Attention-Grabbing “Real life takes on the characteristics of the internet.” Wendall Berry: “You mistakenly think that the solution has to be at the same scale as the problem.” Can you give us some hope? “Hope that is seen is not hope. Instead, there's suffering that creates endurance. Endurance that creates character, character that creates hope, and hope does not put to shame.” Ezekiel and the valley of the dry bones What is the work of Christianity Today right now? Redefining who is “us.” Who is the “we” of Evangelicalism? “We simply want Jesus as revealed in scripture.” 2 Corinthians 4: “The glory of God reflected in the face of Jesus Christ.” Karl Barth and disillusionment during World War I: “We  we want to preach the gospel as though nothing has happened.” … “ He's saying the church is being co-opted and used by forces alien to it. And there have to be people who are free from that to actually appeal to the genuine gospel and to remind people that God is God.” How to cultivate freedom “One of the major challenges to a freedom is loss of attention.” “I have to be free from the constant whirl—and what he meant at the time was the radio, you know, which is nothing compared to what we have—because my attention is necessary for me to be able to serve and to give.” “Kingdom of God is like yeast.” Waiting, attention, and a longer view of time “How do you then hold onto this freedom that we're describing in a way of connected disconnectedness or disconnected connectedness or something?” Nicholas Carr: “Every person has to have an act of willful excommunication.” Revelation and the Book of Daniel: “Seal all this up for now. … Don't worry about it.” Nebuchadnezzar demanding  that. Shadrach, Mishak, and Abednego bow down and worship the golden statue. Evangelical Pastors: Preaching the Bible versus advocating a political vision Galatians 1 and 2—Paul's not yielding to false teachers in order to preserve the Gospel New Apostolic Reformation Christian Nationalism: “Bizarro Evangelicalism … i f you can get external conformity, then you have righteousness.” “Blood mysticism” Jonathan Rauch's Cross Purposes Keeping guard up in conversations with disagreement “Simply asking for Christians to be who we say we are.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In this conversation, Nick and Marshall discuss the importance of using specialized cleaning products for car detailing, emphasizing that blending products can compromise safety and effectiveness. They explore the cost-effectiveness of quality cleaning solutions, arguing that the small price difference is worth the risk of using inferior products. The discussion shifts to the significance of common sense in decision-making, particularly in business, and how many people struggle with paralysis by analysis. They highlight the value of learning from successful individuals and the importance of self-reflection in improving decision-making skills. Finally, they conclude by encouraging listeners to embrace mistakes as part of the learning process and to move forward confidently in their decisions.Chapters00:00 The Love for Wagons and Detailing Stories02:55 Navigating Customer Interactions and Expectations05:49 Handling Unusual Finds in Customer Vehicles09:01 Ethics in Business: Balancing Morality and Profit11:55 Dealing with Stains: Techniques and Best Practices15:08 Common Sense Approaches to Detailing18:01 The Importance of Professionalism in Detailing20:52 Choosing the Right Products for the Job24:01 The Dangers of Cost-Cutting in Detailing30:15 The Importance of Specialized Cleaning Products34:27 Understanding the Cost of Quality Cleaning39:52 Common Sense in Decision Making46:31 Learning from Successful People55:43 Embracing Mistakes and Moving Forward

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.Ethics is the most challenging reading I've done, possibly ever. I'm not sure if it's because I am out of the habit of reading deeply, or my attention span rivals a gnat's, or if this text is actually that hard, but I pushed through. After reading about virtue, and habit, and endurance, and choosing pain because you know it will lead to the good thing, I was not about to stop.We talk a little about the importance of a good translation (more on that to come!) and take a deep dive into note-taking. This is a big project, and I wanted to be sure to retain the big ideas as I went along. I share the things I'm doing, what seems to be working and what I don't do.There is so much to this text. (Maybe that's another reason it was so intense?) In no particular order, just a few notes. There are three basic ways of life: pleasure, politics, and contemplation. Don't confuse pleasure with happiness, because they aren't the same. Contemplation is great—you might be happy—but there's no real action, and that is part of what virtue requires. So, political life, a life lived in relation to others, is the highest good.A virtue is typically the middle way between the vices of too much and too little. For example, courage is the middle way between recklessness and cowardice.Reciprocity is what holds a community together (there's the politics!), and economics is even based on the idea of reciprocity.Friendship. My goodness, I could have used these thoughts at 18, or 24, and can definitely use them now. There are three types of friendships: of utility, of pleasure, and complete. Complete is rare, and so you should attend to it. But it can end if the friends become markedly less equal in some way. Knowing that might help you inoculate against it.Aristotle breaks everything into taxonomies—I mean, the man was obsessed with categorizing everything. It's much more of an engineer's approach to life than Plato's with his ideas about Forms.Regarding Poetics, what amazing guidance about storytelling in tragedy or epic. I wonder if modern filmmakers ever have to read this.Metaphor is the master poet's tool.When I began this project I said I'd read introductions minimally and try to engage solely with the text as much as possible. I needed help with Aristotle, and I highly recommend Larry Arn's series from Hillsdale College.Music this week was Bach's Cello Concertos. Beautiful, lush, varied. I have a real love affair with the cello so this was a pleasure to listen to! You can listen here.This is a year-long challenge! Join me next week as we return for love with Plato and war with Herodotus.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify -

In Jurassic Park, scientists bio-engineered dinosaurs by splicing preserved dino DNA with modern-day frog DNA. It sounded like science fiction…until now. A real-life biotech company with visions of “de-extinction” recently spliced gray wolf DNA with that of the dire wolf, a mammal that's been extinct for thousands of years. And they have plans to do the same thing with other extinct species. This week we're going off the radar with Dr. Jay Odenbaugh, a professor and researcher who specializes in the ethics of de-extinction. We'll discuss what this company did, and what the implications might mean.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Robin Hood & Heist Movies: Why Do We Love Stealing from the Rich?Matthew and Riki dive into the enduring appeal of Robin Hood stories and modern heist films. Sparked by Riki's rewatch of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the conversation explores why stories about stealing from the wealthy continue to resonate across centuries—and why the ultra-rich who run Hollywood keep funding them.Why does the Robin Hood myth remain so powerful?The hosts trace the origins of Robin Hood back to the 12th-13th centuries, noting how the original tale wasn't about overthrowing the system entirely but rather supporting what was seen as legitimate authority (King Richard) against corrupt power (King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham). This pattern continues in modern heist stories, where criminals often end up supporting the status quo rather than truly revolutionizing society.How do heist films differ from traditional Robin Hood stories?Modern heist films like Ocean's Eleven often maintain the "steal from the rich" element but abandon the "give to the poor" aspect. Instead, protagonists typically keep the money for themselves or use it to help a small circle of associates. Nevertheless, audiences still root for these thieves because they target wealthy individuals who are portrayed as having obtained their fortune through questionable means.Why do wealthy studios keep making movies about stealing from the rich?Matthew and Riki suggest these films might function as "bread and circuses"—entertainment that distracts the masses while preserving existing power structures. Most heist narratives conclude by restoring the status quo rather than challenging it fundamentally, allowing wealthy stakeholders to profit from stories of rebellion without promoting actual systemic change.Other topics discussed:The evolution of the "putting together a team" trope in heist filmsHow heist movies typically avoid lethal violence, unlike many Robin Hood adaptationsThe "heart of gold" outlaw character archetype in pirate stories and Star WarsThe pattern of former antagonists joining the hero's team in franchises like The Fast & the FuriousHow the Robin Hood brand has been co-opted for everything from financial transaction taxes to cryptocurrency platformsModern adaptations like Green Arrow and Leverage that continue the Robin Hood traditionThe Robin Hood narrative has shown remarkable staying power because it speaks to fundamental human desires for justice and fairness. While these stories rarely champion revolutionary change, they provide a satisfying fantasy of accountability in a world where economic inequality continues to grow. Whether through traditional tales or modern heist films, the thrill of watching the wealthy and powerful get their comeuppance remains an enduring part of our storytelling tradition. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.
