Another quarterly conversation on books with Christianity Today's Editorial Director, Ashley Hales, on the subject of resisting the digital era. Watch the full conversation on YouTube What's the role of reading in a screen-saturated, distracted, AI world? Russell is joined once again by Ashley Hales, print editor at Christianity Today, to explore how literature can help us resist the attention-fractured nature of our technological era by offering unique ways to process real life itself, giving us tools to see grace where we least expect it. Russell reflects on Wendell Berry's latest (and perhaps final) Port William novel, Marce Catlett, and what it means to say goodbye to a lifelong literary companion. Ashley shares insights on Jan Karon's return to Mitford, and the two discuss how stories shape our capacity for empathy, memory, and hope. They also highlight nonfiction works like Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation (check out our recent episode with Jon) and David Zahl's The Big Relief, considering how books can guide us through exhaustion, anxiety, and the pressures of modern life. Then, the two share the stack of books they're reading just for fun, and upcoming releases they're looking forward to.You can find all the titles mentioned in the episode below.

Food For Thought from 9-6-25

In deze aflevering neem ik je mee in mijn Human Design Blueprint. Wat zegt mijn design over hoe ik het beste kan werken, leven en keuzes maken? En hoe hangt dit samen met mijn gezondheid?

August 31, 2025 Welcome back to Grifty, the podcast where cult wellness, corporate greed, and authoritarian politics meet at a potluck dinner nobody wanted. Tonight's theme is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again plan, better known as MAHA. The Trump team is branding it as a health revolution. But peel back the organic avocado sticker and it looks more like the same old MAGA project: pretend to fight for wellness while quietly dismantling the science and institutions that actually keep people alive. Let's dig in. ⸻ Segment 1: The Food Fight Nobody Ordered Robert F. Kennedy Jr., serving as Trump's Health Secretary, launched MAHA to target ultra-processed foods, artificial dyes, and chemical additives. Big food corporations such as Kraft Heinz, Mars, and Kellogg have already pledged to remove synthetic dyes by 2027 under mounting pressure (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-robert-kennedy-maha-food-plan)). Supporters frame MAHA as consumer protection. Critics see Kennedy using it to market himself as America's wellness crusader while sidelining medical professionals and spreading distrust in vaccines and science. Questions:     1.    Is this food reform real progress or just wellness-washed authoritarianism     2.    Should we be celebrating slightly cleaner Pop Tarts while the CDC is gutted behind the scenes ⸻ Segment 2: Polls Love Food Reform, Hate Science According to an Axios Ipsos survey, 87 percent of Americans support stronger food safety rules, with bipartisan backing (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-republicans-gop-business-make-america-healthy-again-maha)). Nobody is begging for more Red Dye No. 40. But vaccines remain a dividing line. Gallup found that Republicans are significantly less supportive of childhood vaccinations than Democrats, leaving MAHA as a unifying food crusade that simultaneously deepens America's science divide (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-republicans-gop-business-make-america-healthy-again-maha)). Food For Thought:     1.    Does this prove people only support science when it is about snacks     2.    What does it mean when food safety unites but basic vaccines divide ⸻ Segment 3: GOP Breaks Up With Big Food The Republican Party has suddenly distanced itself from Big Food. Instead of defending corporations, GOP leaders are aligning with suburban parents worried about chemical exposure and warning labels on junk food (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-republicans-gop-business-make-america-healthy-again-maha)). But corporate donors are not walking away quietly. Agricultural giants like Mountaire and Reyes Holdings are resisting regulation, and their financial influence means the fight is just beginning. Questions:     1.    What happens when Republicans break up with Big Food, and who is their rebound     2.    How long before Fox News says Biden wants to ban Oreos ⸻ Segment 4: MAHA's War on Science The Trump administration is using MAHA to undermine public health. The CDC is being overhauled and senior scientists are resigning in protest of political interference and Kennedy's rejection of mRNA technologies (The Hill (https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5475599-trump-administration-overhauls-cdc/amp/)). Experts warn this is not temporary. Cutting research programs and pushing conspiracy rhetoric risks decades of progress in medicine and public health Questions:     1.    What does America look like when essential oils replace vaccines     2.    How do we measure the long term cost of this brain drain from the CDC ⸻ Segment 5: Killing Cancer Research While Posing As Wellness Saviors While Trump and Kennedy promote MAHA as a children's health movement, they are simultaneously dismantling federal programs designed to find cures for cancer, Alzheimer's, and ALS (House Appropriations Committee (https://democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-releases/trump-team-dismantles-efforts-find-cure-cancer-and-other-deadly-disorders-and)). The cruelty is in the timing. The New York Times reported promising breakthroughs from a new pediatric brain cancer trial group just this week (New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/well/pediatric-brain-cancer-trial-group.html)). While researchers bring hope to families, Washington is choking off the funding that sustains them. Questions:     1.    How do you square calling yourself pro child health while cutting cancer research     2.    Is this just political theater that uses kids as props ⸻ Segment 6: MAHA 2026 Political Weaponized Wellness Kennedy and Trump are positioning MAHA as a key wedge issue for the 2026 midterms. The strategy is to woo suburban women, independents, and younger voters with promises of food safety and wellness transparency (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/24/rfk-jr-maha-strategy-2026-midterms)). The contradiction is glaring. They say they care about your family's health, yet they are dismantling the very systems that could save your family from disease. It is not Make America Healthy Again. It is Make America Hypocritical Always. Questions:     1.    Is this wellness movement just MAGA wrapped in Whole30 branding     2.    How do Democrats fight back against a political cleanse disguised as health reform ⸻ OUTRO That is MAHA in all its kale washed glory. A movement pretending to save you from Lucky Charms while cutting off cancer research and gutting public health. This is violence with branding. Trump and Kennedy are not protecting families, they are using wellness as a mask for authoritarian power. Kendrick Lamar. Please take us out.

Food For Thought from 8-30-35

In the conclusion of our four-part journey through "Ponder on This," we tackle perhaps the most challenging territory yet: what it actually means to live as conscious agents in an evolving world. The conversation opens with a powerful reminder that we're living in "the age of the revelation of the mysteries" - not through more books being published, but through those moments when ancient wisdom suddenly clicks and becomes lived experience rather than just intellectual understanding. Central to this final exploration is the counterintuitive teaching that forms - including our bodies, emotions, and even our cherished beliefs - are temporary vehicles, not permanent identities. The discussion moves through some of the most challenging concepts in spiritual philosophy: that power used selfishly destroys its user, that every step forward in evolution comes through letting go of what we've held dear, and that "accidents" often result from collective explosions of force created by hatred and unkind thoughts. These aren't abstract concepts but practical principles that show up in everything from our resistance to aging to our attachment to outdated beliefs. Perhaps most practically, the conversation explores the difference between being a spiritual "neophyte" who constantly asks "tell me, tell me" and a mature practitioner who simply says "aid the work, forget yourself." This isn't about spiritual bypassing but about understanding that we belong to the world, not just to our immediate circle. The discussion examines the delicate balance between caring for loved ones and making decisions from the deepest place possible, even when others disapprove - recognizing that "the reactions of others are not your responsibility." The episode concludes with some of the most challenging wisdom about becoming "a clear, unobstructed channel" - cultivating the attitude of non-reactivity while remaining fully engaged with life. The beautiful metaphor of finding peace at the center of a tornado captures what spiritual maturity actually looks like: not withdrawal from chaos, but standing so rooted in purpose that external storms can't shake your fundamental stability. It's a conversation that challenges every comfortable assumption while offering practical guidance for those ready to step into their role as conscious co-creators in this massive evolutionary moment.

With 2025 more than halfway over, and 2026 looming large on the horizon, Sally Lyons Wyatt, global executive vice president and chief advisor in consumer goods and foodservice insights for Circana, joins the Food For Thought podcast to offer an update on the trends driving consumer choice as summer turns to fall.

In the third installment of our exploration through "Ponder on This," we dive into some of the most challenging and counterintuitive wisdom from the ancient teachings. The conversation begins with a fascinating look at how these timeless teachings have been safeguarded and disseminated throughout history - not as dogma to be blindly followed, but as spiritual nourishment placed "at the crossroads" for those ready to receive it. This episode tackles one of the most difficult concepts for modern minds to grasp: the relationship between holding on and letting go. The discussion explores the paradox that "by holding, man loses; by relinquishing, he gains" - a principle that runs counter to everything our material culture teaches us about success and security. Rather than philosophical abstraction, this becomes intensely practical when applied to everything from relationships to career ambitions to our deepest attachments. Central to the conversation is the recognition that we are not our vehicles - not our physical bodies, emotions, or even our thoughts - but rather the divine dweller within them. This shift in identity isn't about rejecting the material world, but about understanding our true relationship to it. The episode explores how this recognition changes everything: how we treat others, how we navigate challenges, and how we participate in the ongoing evolution of consciousness on Earth. Perhaps most intriguingly, the discussion touches on the emergence of what the teachings call "a new species of human being" - individuals incarnating with upgraded circuitry, capable of running apps that previous generations couldn't access. This isn't science fiction, but rather the natural progression of consciousness evolution, where higher awareness creates corresponding forms of higher expression. The conversation examines our role in creating containers for this new consciousness while continuing our own journey of refinement and growth. The episode concludes with powerful insights about the delicate balance between compassion and enabling, between holding space for others' growth and rescuing them from necessary lessons. It's a conversation that challenges comfortable assumptions while offering practical wisdom for navigating the complexities of conscious living in an evolving world.

In this continuation of our exploration through "Ponder on This," we dive deeper into some of the most challenging and relevant teachings for our current moment. The conversation opens with a powerful reminder that these ancient wisdom teachings come with no demand for blind acceptance - they're meant to be tested through practice and personal discovery, not adopted as dogma. The episode tackles one of the most provocative statements in the collection: "The world problem is essentially a religious problem." Rather than dismissing this as controversial, the discussion unpacks how religious thinking - the tendency to turn beliefs into rigid dogmas - has infiltrated every area of human discourse, from politics to personal relationships. This isn't an attack on faith traditions, but an examination of how the mind's tendency to crystallize ideas into unchangeable truths creates the very conflicts we see playing out globally. Central to the conversation is the fundamental principle that "energy follows thought" - and the recognition that millions more people are now thinking and focusing their mental energy than ever before in human history. This creates both unprecedented opportunity and responsibility. Every thought we think, every mental pattern we reinforce, contributes to the collective consciousness that shapes our shared reality. The episode explores how this understanding transforms daily life from passive existence to active participation in creating the future. Perhaps most practically, the discussion reveals how we can move from having rigid "points of view" to developing flexible "viewing points" - the difference between defending a fixed position and sampling multiple perspectives to gain holistic understanding. This shift from separation to synthesis offers a pathway through the polarization that characterizes our current moment, suggesting that the resolution lies not in one side winning, but in rising to a higher level where apparent opposites can be reconciled and transformed.

In our latest Musings From The Mount episode, we return to the very beginning of "Ponder On This" to explore what drew us into the Alice Bailey teachings in the first place. What sets these teachings apart isn't just their depth, but their remarkable humility and invitation to personal discernment rather than blind acceptance. The episode explores Bailey's "Basic Assumptions" - the prerequisites for serious spiritual study that emphasize sincere aspiration, life experience that develops true values, and the discipline to organize one's mind throughout daily life. These aren't rigid requirements but qualities that naturally develop through what the text calls "battling sufficiently with deterrent forces of life." The emphasis is on seasoned persistence rather than youthful enthusiasm. We delve into the distinction between information and wisdom, examining how these teachings invite us to weave our own spiritual garments rather than simply adopting prescribed forms. The conversation touches on the paradox of words both revealing and concealing truth, the power of becoming consciously capable on the mental plane, and the recognition that we exist within nested levels of consciousness - from individual to planetary to cosmic. Perhaps most compelling is the teaching's central premise: we're not here to follow teachers but to become the path itself through lived experience. As the material states, "goodness and altruism grow out of realization and service" - they cannot be adopted from others but must be generated through personal spiritual effort. This episode offers both newcomers and seasoned students a foundation for approaching any wisdom tradition with appropriate discernment and personal responsibility.

How can you make philosophy accessible to everyone without stripping it of essential depth and complexity? Where can philosophy take hold in diet and everyday activities?Julian Baggini is a philosopher, journalist and the author of over 20 books about philosophy. His latest are How to Think Like a Philosopher: Twelve Key Principles for More Humane, Balanced, and Rational Thinking, How the World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy, and The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten: 100 Experiments for the Armchair Philosopher.Greg and Julian discuss making philosophy accessible to everyone, and Julian's latest works. Julian discusses the importance of epistemic virtue, cognitive empathy, and the challenges of integrating philosophical thinking into everyday life. They examine the role of attention in good thinking, the merits and drawbacks of various food ethics movements, and the balance between technophilia and technophobia, even coining a new term for practical wisdom in technology use.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:System change beats consumer choice40:38: We should be a little less neurotic about, Is this clean, dirty? Is this good, bad? Try and do the right thing. But actually, it is a system change that is most important. And so the most important thing you could do as an individual is influence organizations and things you are around with. What about your school? What is your school doing for food? I mean, crikey, I am in France at the moment, and I just got the local newsletter from the school. The local schools here—they have a local chef. They give a good chef. They favor local sourcing. They are 30% organic in their ingredients. They spend three euros a day on the food for the kids. And it is—wow, that is great. Right now, in a lot of English British schools, it is terrible, and that is partly because they do not have the resources for it. So, you know, you have got a school—get your school buying the right stuff and feeding the right stuff. That is going to affect like several hundred kids, which is much more than you can affect with your shopping basket.Why attentiveness matters in philosophy58:15: Attentiveness is important because I think in some debates, they become scholastic in the sense that a question arises in philosophy, it gets formulated, and people go after the answers, but people are not paying attention as to why we are asking the question in the first place.Why thinking should be a team sport43:17: So the so-called cognitive failures we have, it shows how stupid we are. Bad we are at abstract thought. Well, that's when we try and do things privately by ourselves, and I think in general, yeah, absolutely. Thinking with others—so this has become my mantra. I actually got a fridge magnet made with this on it: Think for yourself, not by yourself. Think for yourself is important. Do not just accept what you are told.Rethinking what it means to think well05:20: People often think that good thinking is a technical matter. You get your training in logic; you get to analyze whether a statement is fallacious, whether the conclusion follows from the premises, et cetera, et cetera—all of which are useful skills, to be sure. But there is a whole other side of good thinking, which is to do with what we call these epistemic virtues. It describes the whole attitude you bring to your thinking.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Epistemic VirtueBernard WilliamsPhilippa FootIris MurdochFriedrich NietzscheWilliam JamesPeter SingerThe Good SonFyodor DostoevskyDavid HumeJohn SearleWason selection taskKieren SetiyaDaily Rituals - How Artists WorkOnora O'NeillT.

Mark 6:31-44 (CEB) and Mark 8:1-9 (CEB) This Sunday, we'll take a fresh look at two familiar stories: the feedings of the 5,000 and the 4,000 in Mark's Gospel. While often seen as similar miracles, these two accounts—placed side by side—reveal something deeper about who Jesus is and who the Gospel is for. What if the leftovers weren't just about abundance but about belonging? Come hear how Jesus feeds both Jews and Gentiles, and what that means for how we widen our circles today. There is enough.

You know that whole saying, “food for thought”?Well, we really do feed our thoughts… with other thoughts. And each one carries a specific frequency. Our thoughts are connected to those just above and just below them in vibration, which means we can spiral upward with ease or downward just as quickly. In this episode of The Prosperity Approach, I share how this one powerful principle has the ability to shift your mindset, energy, and results, without forcing anything. I'll show you how to recognize when you're spiraling down and how to gently guide yourself back up by garnishing your thoughts with virtue instead of disbelief. Tune in!The Obedient Rebels Guide to Quantum Leaps: https://www.prosperityapproach.com/obedientrebelrising—✨ Effortless success for the ambitious & god-centered woman begins here.

Join us for a panel discussion focused on addressing food insecurity in California, with an emphasis on CalFresh reform. CalFresh is the state-run food stamps program that assists low- or no-income individuals and households to purchase nutritious food, also known federally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Inefficiencies in the CalFresh system have become evident in the billions of dollars in unused federal benefits, as well as in comparison to other states that have achieved 100 percent SNAP participation among eligible individuals through strategic policy changes.  A new state law, AB 518 (Wicks and Jackson), mandates the development of a methodology to estimate CalFresh participation rates, identify eligible but unenrolled Californians, and create outreach strategies to maximize participation; but the bill is only a starting point to addressing the program's shortcomings.  Join us for a wider discussion on the impacts of food insecurity as momentum builds for legislative action to enhance the program's efficiency. We'll also examine the successful models of other states' systems and bring awareness to food insecurity's long-term negative impacts, particularly for marginalized communities.  This program is co-hosted with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and followed by a reception. A Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics.

She emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing research design and reminds us that mental fitness depends on a range of lifestyle choices, not just cognitive games. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.drjennybrockis.com/2010/4/26/does-brain-training-work-more-food-for-thought/ Quotes to ponder: "One sweeping statement can colour people's overall acceptance of what is the 'truth'." "240 minutes is not very long to look at how effective a training program is." "Brain training programs are only one facet managing stress and getting enough sleep, will all help in our quest to stay mentally fit."
