Ned Kelly's bulletproof armor made his enemies believe they were fighting the Devil himself. We can't help but wonder what Aesop would have said about the Kelly Gang and their plot. And is fighting against a bulletproof Devil more dangerous than being on the set of Roar, a movie filmed with untrained, live lions?

Thank you so much.    Today's episode features an author I've wanted to do since I started this show nearly 20 years ago. I just couldn't figure out how to work Aesop into the lineup. There are so many different translations and editions, I simply never found the right one.   Then, as I was researching Somerset Maugham, I ran across a reference to the title of one of his books, Cakes and Ale. Maugham's Cakes and Ale is a novel exposing the wrongs of societal snobbery. Maugham lifted his title from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, it seems. Maugham's novel may have its title inspired from Joseph Jacob's edition of Aesop's Fables, as the moral of the story of the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse is: Better Beans and Bacon in peace than Cakes and Ale in fear. Something about that just struck a chord with me. I found the Jacob edition of the fables, and they are fantastic, as you will soon hear.   I had toyed around many times with adding one or two to the beginning and end of a show, but I didn't think that would give them the attention due to them. Which brings us to today's episode, where we dive in and hear 22 of Aesop's Fables, one after another.   As you listen, you might want to check in on how you're feeling. If you're like me, at first I was a little resistive – these feel like kids stories at first. Peter Pan advice, right? Keep listening. See how you feel by the end of the episode.

✨ Three wishes sound like a dream come true… but what if your wishes have a mind of their own?

What happens when pastors replace the authority of Scripture with mysticism, politics, and speculation? The Smith and Rowland Show examines why a clear understanding of the whole counsel of God matters for sound doctrine and biblical prophecy. In this episode, Alan and Jeff respond to a Prophecy News Watch article titled, "God Had a Wife: When Pastors Trade Scripture for Mysticism and Fables." They discuss claims surrounding Asherah, ancient paganism, and the reinterpretation of biblical history through modern cultural ideas. The conversation also focuses on the Centurion's faith, the authority of God's spoken Word, and the connection between Scripture and the presence of God. Allen and Jeff explain why faith doesn't depend on emotional experiences or a demand for visible signs before obedience. They also warn that separating the Spirit from the Word can lead to confusion and false teaching. The hosts explain how dispensational Bible study provides a framework for understanding the whole counsel of God, including prophecy, Israel's promises, the gospel of grace, and eschatology. They discuss why isolated verses, "verse of the day" readings, and incomplete Bible study can lead to misinterpretation. This episode also examines Paul's warnings in Acts 20, 1 Timothy, and Colossians about wolves, false teachers, fables, endless genealogies, and other doctrines that distract from godly edification. Allen and Jeff stress the value of learning Scripture patiently, "precept upon precept, line upon line," so believers can recognize error and remain grounded in God's Word. Watch Episode 968 of The Smith and Rowland Show for a direct discussion about biblical authority, dispensationalism, prophecy, and the importance of understanding Scripture as a unified message. #Dispensationalism #BibleProphecy #BiblicalTruth #ChristianDoctrine #SmithAndRowland

THE AMERICAN BOOK OF FABLES and that headline isn’t some I made up, it’s the title of a really cool book and I’m talking to the author today at 2:30. Dr. Matthew Mehan is the Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Government for the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College in Washington, D.C., right on Capitol Hill and he’s also the author of a beautiful new book full of reworked fables like the ones we read as kids.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I open this episode with a story from my childhood: a dam that broke above my uncle's farm, and two California kids who survived the flash flood only because they knew how to surf a wave instead of fighting it. That's exactly how I think about AI right now. It's a massive wave bearing down on all of us, and whether it becomes a wonderful tool or something that crushes us depends entirely on whether we learn to ride it. I walk through what happened when I went from writing off AI-generated code as "laughable" last fall to building real, deployable tools with it today, including the Andrew Winkler Reading Room, a free app that lets you read over a hundred of the world's greatest books in their original languages, from Homer's Greek to modern Japanese.In the second half, I get honest about what it's actually like working with AI day to day. I talk about building "Gentle Reader," a feature that lets language learners dive into real literature with only 70 to 75% vocabulary instead of waiting until they hit 95%, and the surprising detective work it took to get ancient and modern Japanese texts working properly. I also share where AI still struggles: its short-term memory lapses, its tendency to patch symptoms instead of solving root problems, and what my ongoing project to restore Don Quixote from a centuries-old scan taught me about "wisdom of crowds" and a 250-year-old quote from Sir Joshua Reynolds that turned out to apply just as much to machines as it does to us.In this episode you will learn:(00:00) Why I compare AI to a wave that can either be surfed or can crush you, using a story about a dam breaking above my uncle's farm(03:14) How the Andrew Winkler Reading Room lets you read the Odyssey and other classics in their original Greek, with every word's form, meaning, and pronunciation just a click away(06:06) What "Gentle Reader" is and why lowering the vocabulary threshold from 95% to 70-75% makes it possible to start reading real literature much sooner(09:04) Why I chose books like Wizard of Oz, Aesop's Fables in Chinese, and Nicholas Nickleby in Italian to fill gaps where no natural "great work" existed at the right reading level(12:01) What made Japanese the hardest language to build, including the challenge of AI handling ancient versus modern Japanese grammar and meaning shifts(14:54) Why AI models have what I call a "short-term memory slash auditory processing disorder," and how the "Attention Is All You Need" paper changed the game but didn't fully solve it(17:48) What my Don Quixote restoration project, removing decades of ink bleed and yellowing, then building a font from "wisdom of crowds," taught me about AI's tendency to avoid the real labor of thinkingLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandyRead, with computer assistance, the best literature the world has ever producedandrew-winkler-reading-room.overskill.appLove Quotient: Stop Dying of Thirst in an Ocean of Love Kickstarterhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amwphd/love-quotient Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever confused trading skill with trading luck? I know I used to do it. I’m sure you’ve done it. And I’ve got a great story to share with you. Let’s get into that more right now. Hey there, Trader! Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 645. Remember hearing about Aesop's fables? Do you remember as a kid you may have heard about Aesop’s Fables? Well, I’ve got a story to tell you today that’s a true story, and it’s about confusing trading skill and trading luck. A number of months ago, I received an email from somebody who was saying, “I don’t need to learn how to trade. I know how to trade, and I don’t need your course because I know how to trade.” And I was thinking, why is this person telling me this? Why are they wasting their time, or my time, telling me this? So I had a little look online at our database, and I saw this person had been on our masterclass. They’d downloaded my book and calculator, they’d been opening emails all the time, and I thought, that’s strange. Why is this person so interested in what we do if they’re so good? And it’s fine if they’re really good. Good on you, go for it. So I wrote back to him and said, “Look, that’s absolutely fine. But keep in touch. If you want to send me some details, I will have a look.” So he sent me his account details. Trading luck on a demo account. Of course, it was a demo account. All I could see was trading luck. I couldn’t see any skill there. Now, of course, I couldn’t tell his strategy and how he was taking the trades, but I could see the results. And yes, there were some very good trades on there in terms of monetary value. But when I looked at the risk and the stop losses and that type of thing, it was a complete fluke. I didn’t quite tell him that in those exact words, but I said, “Look, it looks like your money management and your risk management are not great. They could be improved. We could certainly help you there. Have a look at some of my free videos.” And I left it at that. He wrote back and told me, “Well, I certainly don’t need your help.” So this went around in circles. I was getting a little bit confused. I’m trying to help someone, they didn’t seem to want the help, but they kept writing anyway. I said, “Well, good luck.” And he wrote back and said, “I’m going to be a successful trader trading prop firms.” So I said, “Oh well, again, keep in touch if you really want to, but good luck. Off you go.” Prop firm account failures. Now, just this week I received an email from him saying that he has failed 5 $100,000 prop firm trials. They’ve cost him about $550 USD each, so you can see how much he’s spent. And he’s not made a single penny out of it. It’s no surprise to me because, obviously, to pass a prop firm you’ve got to have low risk and low drawdown. You could see clearly this guy was never going to do that if he continued to trade the same way. So I kind of felt like going back and saying, “Well, I told you so.” I also kind of felt like thinking, “Well, if you’ve just spent 5 lots of $550 USD, for way less than that you could have jumped on our course and be trading the way that we trade, with low risk and following what we do.” I didn’t tell him that, but I kind of felt it, and he’s probably got that feeling himself. So when I think about Aesop’s Fables, it’s like you learn the hard way. A lot of those stories are the same. When I started trading, I had no idea what I was doing. When I started trading, I had no idea what I was doing. Look, I’m not saying I’m immune to this. When I started trading, I did exactly the same. I was trading on a demo account, and I was just randomly putting positions on here, there, and all over the place. Most of the time, no stop losses, just random lot sizes of 1.00 lots because I thought that’s what I should do. I’ve looked at a lot of good trades as well. I distinctly remember showing friends at the time and saying, “I’m going to be a full-time currency trader because look at all these trades I’ve made. I’ve just turned a $100,000 demo account into like half a million dollars in about a month. Look at me.” And I did well. Now, of course, that never happens in real time, in real life, in live accounts, because you soon figure out through the school of hard knocks, whether it’s through blowing accounts or not being able to afford any more money, or like this guy, 5 failed prop firm challenges in a row, that trading is a lot harder than you think. Trading is harder than you think. You do need to treat it properly. You do need low risk. You do need some support and some help. And you do need a proven strategy. So it’s quite interesting when you think about that. This guy could have saved himself a whole heap of headaches, a whole heap of time, and a whole heap of money, and he’s still no better off today. That’s the other thing. He spent 5 lots of $550 on prop firm accounts, and he’s got nothing to show for it now. Sure, he might have learned a few things along the way, but he’s not actually any better off in terms of his logic, his strategy, or any hope of making a return. Avoid the mistakes and view my Masterclass. So look, if you’d like to avoid being like him, and like I was at the very early stages, probably 23 or 24 years ago now, do yourself a favour. Jump onto my masterclass. Have a look. It’s completely free of charge, with no obligation. Have a look. It’s 15 minutes long, and please ask questions of us. That’s what we’re here for. We’ve been doing this for a long time. We’ve got clients right around the world, so we know what works. We know what doesn’t work as well, and we’re doing this ourselves every single day. I’ve just taken a 6-hour chart trade right now, just a few minutes ago, selling the AUD/USD. I’ve taken 2 daily trades so far today already as well. We’ve got several weekly charts on, and at the beginning of this week, the beginning of August, we took monthly chart trades as well, all for our clients to follow, learn from, and hopefully profit from as well. Blueberry Markets as a Forex Broker. If you’re looking for a really good broker, I can highly recommend Blueberry Markets. I’ll put a link to them. They’re a great bunch of people, with really good spreads, lots and lots of markets on their MT5 accounts, and very fast withdrawals as well. So if you have any other questions, don’t forget to email me directly at Andrew@TheForexTradingCoach.com and I’ll see you this time next week. Bye for now.

Today's guest is a fable hunter. Fr. Greg Carlson has traveled the world, rummaging through old book stores, flea markets and the like to track down ancient manuscripts, forgotten illustrations and everything in between all for the love of fables. He's done this for decades, even waging battles at online auctions, to amass a preeminent collection of fables that has become the Carlson Fable Collection at Creighton University. What was once a personal hobby evolved into an academic career. But Aesop isn't the only wisdom figure with whom Fr. Carlson is well acquainted. Fr. Carlson is a Jesuit priest, and so for him, finding God in fables comes as second nature. He sees Jesus as a master storyteller — and one whom we may better understand after having developed a deeper appreciation for the wonder of fables. As you'll soon hear, Fr. Carlson defines a fable as a “past-tense short narrative inviting a hearer or reader to perceive something about living life.” That's not so far off from the sorts of parables Jesus told. In fact, developing our own ability to perceive life more intimately, more deeply, more intentionally — this is a great spiritual gift. And so, we're excited to share today's conversation. Fr. Greg Carlson is a wonderful storyteller and teacher, and if you'd like to hear more from him, you can visit JesuitMediaLab.org where he's written a reflection to further illuminate some of the points he makes on this episode. You can also get in touch with him and learn more about the collection and a booklet that he has published on this very topic. The collection is viewable online at both https://creightonarchives.omeka.net/s/carlson-fables-collection/page/home and https://www.creighton.edu/aesop
