Podcasts about existential

Over 500 media and publishing professionals gathered in the beautiful Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid to hear leading speakers discuss their strategies for thriving in today's landscape. ChatGPT, AI overviews and traffic challenges are certainly top of mind for many delegates, but the on-stage conversations haven't been quite as dominated by AI as we'd expected. Rather, there seems to be a doubling down on good, ‘old fashioned' publishing principles like investing in high-quality content and products in order to secure growth. There were some really strong themes that came out across the two days - too many to include them all here - so we've focused on the top four. Hear speakers from TIME, The Economist, Hearst, Semafor, The Atlantic and more discussing transformation, new opportunities, brands vs personalities, and how they're using AI.

#ScrubHopTalk Ep. 260 - We get in depth into JDirty's medical past and how things that some people might find absolutely disgusting, he finds completely normal and run of the mill.

Join Pastor Katie for the final installment of the "Unafraid" series where we will be looking at Existential Fears. Scripture is Proverbs 14:27.

Panic less, enjoy more - treat time well and it will treat you well. Humans have a difficult relationship with time. Sometimes just a birthday can lead to spiralling mental health. Yet time is the medium of existence that gives us all the experiences that make life so great. Of course, time also ages us and ultimately robs us of everything we ever have and ever loved. With the right mindset we can enjoy it and use it wisely. We cover: How to think differently about time itself Learn how to be less frustrated by things we can't control Questions to diagnose your relationship with time Experience deeper awareness Life is short but we can be the pilot of our experiences or dragged along in a rush feeling crushed by the weight of everything.

Can Artificial Intelligence replace the human person? Is it benevolent and beneficial, or is it a threat to humanity? In this episode of What We Can't Not Talk About, Carlo Martinucci joins us to explore these pressing questions. An Italian software engineer who has spent the past year studying Artificial Intelligence, Martinucci offers both technical insight and philosophical reflection on the promises and perils of this rapidly evolving field. Hosted by the Austin Institute, this conversation is hopefully the first of a series: AI is reshaping reality, and true moral agents cannot just "sit and watch". Tune in to learn more about the nature and consequences of this revolutionary technology.

Personality Hacker In this episode, Joel and Antonia dive deep into the rising wave of existential dysregulation affecting individuals and society. They explore how personality type, through the lens of cognitive functions and the four regulation channels (somatic, emotional, cognitive, and existential), can offer a powerful map for navigating uncertainty, identity crises, and cultural upheaval. From AI and generational theory to the roots of intuition and spiritual evolution, they lay the groundwork for a revolutionary framework to understand and manage personal and collective transformation.

In this episode we dive into The Unwanted Undead Adventurer. We dig into the world building which was solid in its own right and the fact that they have an in-story researcher helps explain everything naturally, plus the power mix that the MC uses along with the weird biology bits like one drop of blood apparently goes a long way help to tie it all in and explain some of the other mechanics as well. However the early sprint with minimal explanation of the overall time line does hinder it a bit as it does not really give you much in the way of the overall progression. Plus there were a few dangling threads that bugged us luckily there is a Season 2 confirmed.About the anime:Rentt is an unlucky veteran adventurer who dies after running into a dragon(?) in the Labyrinth of the Moon's Reflection which is supposed to be a low level (or easy if you will) dungeon and then revives as a skeleton. He learns that defeating monsters fuels his “existential” evolution, letting him climb undead forms toward his goal of becoming human again or as close to it as possible. With the help of his friend and scholar mage Lorraine, he is able to conceal his identity and starts off as a rookie adventurer again and begins to climb the ranks to his ultimate goal and life long pursuit of being a mithril ranked adventurer.Next Week's Pick: "Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy"Have you had the chance to watch The Undead Unwanted Adventurer or any of our previous selections?

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report. On today's show: ICE, CBP and other federal agencies continue their assault on Chicago as they recklessly unleash CS gas in front of an elementary school in a busy neighborhood resulting in the hospitalization of at least two children.

In the Fun Half: More coverage of ICE atrocities as they arrest people with no warrant or reason, detain the lawyers that are speaking on behalf of terrorized immigrants and mace young girls at point blank in the face. The only thing that seems to get ICE officers to back off is a person in an inflatable frog suit casting spell.

Dr. K explores why more people today are struggling with depression that doesn't respond to the usual fixes. He explains the difference between “classic” depression caused by things like chemical imbalances or cognitive distortions and existential depression, which arises when the future feels objectively bleak. Drawing from philosophy, psychiatry, and Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, Dr. K shows how existential depression can freeze your sense of possibility, leading to hopelessness, burnout, and lateral behaviors like doom-scrolling, gaming, or numbing out. He argues that standard treatments like SSRIs or CBT fall short here, and what's needed is a deeper re-engagement with meaning, balance, and forward momentum. Topics include: Why the serotonin imbalance model doesn't explain most depression The rise of existential depression in a world of uncertainty, debt, AI, and climate anxiety Depressive realism: why some depressed people see reality more accurately than others The “frozen future” and why it leads to lateral movement (scrolling, gaming, numbing) How imbalance between thinking, feeling, and doing worsens existential depression Three sources of fulfillment: self, service to others, and the transcendent/spiritual Practical tools: restoring life's natural rhythm, paradoxical intention, and dereflection This episode blends clinical insight with existential philosophy, offering both big-picture frameworks and concrete techniques for anyone feeling stuck in the meaninglessness of modern life.

This episode takes a more philosophical twist. We are joined by The Existential Biker, Louisa Swaden, whose new book The Stoic Rider: Philosophy in Motion has just been published. After decades away from motorcycling Louisa returned in her 50s as a nervous novice with a fear of speed. Which makes her story all the more extraordinary because within the space of eighteen months she went from being afraid to go over 50mph on the freeway to racing at Bonneville and setting land speed records at Pendine Beach in Wales. Louisa attributes her success to her stoic mindset and her decision to just say Yes! to opportunity, even when you're not ready.

Lionel focuses on why AM radio is imperative for saving lives, serving as the resilient backbone of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) for critical communication during blackouts and infrastructure failures. Lionel defines an "existential threat" as any danger that fundamentally alters survival, leading to listener debates on entrenched corruption and apathy. Topics include vital issues like food quality, GMO labeling, and the spraying of nano particulates. Crucially, Lionel analyzes the mainstream media blackout of massive conservative/Christian events (involving tens of thousands of people), arguing this deliberate editorial decision avoids reconciling the movement's power.

Israel and its U.S. backers are advancing a clear project: Greater Israel. That means weakening every state in the Levant, fueling sectarianism, and pressuring Lebanon to disarm — leaving the south of the country defenseless.But disarming resistance in the middle of Israel's expansion isn't peace. It's surrender. So how should the Levant respond?Rania Khalek speaks with Antoun Issa, co-founder of DeepCut News, about the rise of “Greater Israel,” why disarmament would be catastrophic for Lebanon, the targeting of journalists, Syria's instability, his resignation from The Guardian, and what a real sovereign vision for the region could look like.

Earlier this year at Lean Out, we covered Canada's federal election. It was a contest not just between candidates and parties but between dominant narratives about the challenges facing this country. Was our biggest problem the decline in material conditions, or was it Donald Trump? Our guest on today's podcast was there, on the campaign trail. He's just written a book about why this election was one of the most consequential in recent memory.Justin Ling is a Canadian journalist and author. His Substack newsletter is Bug-eyed and Shameless, and his new book is The 51st State Votes: Canada Versus Donald Trump.This episode was taped earlier this month.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Nathalie Etoke, author of BLACK EXISTENTIAL FREEDOM.  Published in 2022, BLACK EXISTENTIAL FREEDOM explores how Black freedom transcends political and economic success and lies in affirming one's humanity in the face of systemic dehumanization. Etoke draws on historical experiences, Black cultural expressions, and philosophical traditions to highlight the inner and collective struggles of people of African descent across the diaspora. She emphasizes that existential agency—making choices even under oppressive conditions—is a form of resistance and a testament to enduring hope. Nathalie Etoke is a Professor of Francophone and Africana Studies at the Graduate Center, CUNY. She specializes in literature and cinema of Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, Black French studies, queer studies in Africa and the Caribbean, and Africana existential thought.

Sparked by a Wall Street Journal piece on McKinsey, we ask: Is AI an existential crisis for consulting firms or their greatest chance to reinvent strategy, talent, and client value? The post AI: Existential Threat or Opportunity for Consulting Firms? appeared first on Rattle and Pedal.

Can we humans make it to 2125? According to Gary F. Bengier, author of Journey to 2125, our species faces three existential threats over the next 100 years. His horsemen of the apocalypse are climate change, nuclear war and robots. No great surprises there. Where Bengier is more original is his stress on narrowing the manifold threats to humanity. Focus, focus, focus is Bengier's species survival mantra. The ex-eBay technologist turned philosopher argues we're distracted by too many doomsday scenarios. His classic Silicon Valley solution: ignore the noise, solve these three core problems, and humanity might be able to "muddle through." But, as always in these cliffhanger narratives, there's a potential catch—nuclear war could destroy the resources needed to fight climate change, while robot factories in the business of building more robot factories could short circuit capitalism itself. Ooops. So there's no guarantee that any of us - even (or especially) those Kurzweilian crazies who believe we can live forever - will squeak through to 2125. 1. The Three Threats That Actually Matter Bengier argues humanity faces three existential challenges over the next century: climate change, nuclear war, and mass unemployment from robots that build robot factories. His core message: stop getting distracted by "50 other things" and focus solely on these civilization-ending threats.2. The Dangerous Interconnection Nuclear war isn't just catastrophic on its own—it could destroy the economic resources needed to fight climate change. A limited nuclear exchange (losing "10 or 20 cities each") would consume so much wealth in rebuilding that climate action would become impossible, creating a cascade of existential failures.3. The Robot Revolution Will Be Different This Time While the current AI wave won't eliminate most jobs, Bengier warns of a second wave when AI-embedded robots become ubiquitous. When "robots build the robot factories that build the robots," the fundamental question becomes: who owns the robot factories? This could mark the end of capitalism as we know it.4. Nuclear Power Is Essential, Solar Isn't Enough Despite solar costs dropping 90%, Bengier argues we need nuclear power (especially small modular reactors) because renewables alone can't provide consistent baseline power. More critically, developing nations need accessible nuclear technology to avoid using their cheap fossil fuel reserves.5. Consciousness Isn't Coming to Machines Against Silicon Valley hype about AGI and conscious AI, Bengier (who studied philosophy of mind) argues machines lack "qualia"—the subjective experience of what things feel like. Machines can analyze an apple's 37 components but can't understand what an apple actually is. The "hard problem of consciousness" remains nowhere near solved.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Many of us have experienced the surge in powdery mildew, ushered in by the hot, dry summer we've had. To find out more about this unwanted fungal force and how to manage it, we're speaking to RHS Senior Plant Pathologist Dr Jassy Drakulic.

We're speaking to this custodian of Wisley's Wisteria Walk, Liam Anderson to pick up his top tips for success at home. And Nick Turrell returns with a curious question. He's shining a spotlight on one familiar feature found in almost every garden in the country, asking us to think about why it's really there.

Local vape shop owners say that the flavored tobacco ban Mayor Johnston signed into law last year represents an existential threat to their businesses and a major blow to the City of Denver's sales tax revenues. But will that be enough to convince Denver voters to repeal the ban this November? Producer Paul Karolyi sits down with two local vape shop owners — Kristen Hensel of Rusty's Vape and Smoke Shop and Philip Guerin of Myxed Up Creations — to talk about how kids get access to vapes, the Zyn plant being built in Aurora, and what the flavored tobacco ban means for their businesses. Paul talked about the Geek Bar website, this CU Anschutz report on Denver's flavored tobacco ban, the surge in nitrous oxide, aka “whippets,” in Denver, and Gov. Jared Polis' position on a statewide flavored tobacco ban, which he said he opposed in 2022. He also cited reporting on the repeal campaign's 17,000 signatures and $328,000 raised. We've reached out to the Food & Drug Administration for comment on Phil's claim of regular attempted busts at his shop and haven't heard back.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

Show Notes In this episode, Simon is joined by Natalie to open up the existential questions that lie at the heart of coaching: What does it mean to live well? How do we find meaning in a finite life? How do we coach for authenticity, freedom and responsibility? Far from being bleak, existentialism is revealed here as a liberating practice. Death is not avoided but faced - giving urgency and clarity to our choices, reminding us that life is finite and must be lived meaningfully. This conversation shows how reinvention is possible at any stage of life, and how helping others can deepen our own sense of happiness and fulfillment. Together, Simon and Natalie highlight the value of micro meanings - the everyday rituals, relationships and joys that ground us in significance. They reflect on the importance of structure in supporting growth, while also recognising the liberation that comes when we accept life's pointlessness and take responsibility for creating meaning ourselves. To live authentically, we must face uncomfortable truths, resist “bad faith,” and embrace freedom with courage. Existential coaching, then, is less about problem-solving and more about opening a space where clients can explore their choices, discover what matters, and move towards a life without regrets. It speaks to the universal human pursuit of meaning, and to the possibility of finding spirituality and depth even in the midst of uncertainty. Key Reflections Coaching at its best creates space for clients to face the uncomfortable truths of freedom, choice, and responsibility. Awareness of death can deepen our sense of aliveness and urgency to live meaningfully. Micro meanings - rituals, relationships, and small daily joys - are vital in shaping a good life. Bad faith often creeps into coaching conversations, and part of the coach's role is to gently challenge it. Balancing structure and freedom is essential, both for personal growth and for effective coaching practice.

Joe Folley is a philosopher, writer, and host of the Unsolicited Advice YouTube channel. Philosophy has a way of finding us in one form or another, sometimes in a book, sometimes in a moment of crisis. Thinkers like Nietzsche and Camus have helped shape how we see life, death, and everything in between. But can these ideas truly help us live better, or are we just dressing up our confusion in big words? Expect to learn why so many people are attracted to the idea of existential philosophy and why its so seductive and alluring, why we have an obsession with the idea of authenticity, the ideas and works of Nietzsche and his philosophy, if existentialism aligns with religion or if it is anti-God in nature, what the great philosophers like Camus believe about romance, if there is such a thing as too much reflection, and much more… Sponsors: See me on tour in America: ⁠https://chriswilliamson.live⁠ See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period from Shopify at https://shopify.com/modernwisdom Get up to $50 off the RP Hypertrophy App at https://rpstrength.com/modernwisdom Get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN at https://surfshark.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.
