Podcasts about Francis Bacon

The conviction that the natural world is obedient, adhering to laws, is a widespread assumption of modern science. But where did this idea originate and what beliefs does it imply? In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon discuss the impact on science of the Elizabethan lawyer, Francis Bacon. His New Instrument of Thought, or Novum Organum, put laws at the centre of science and was intended as an upgrade on assumptions developed by Aristotle. But does the existence of mind-like laws of nature, somehow acting on otherwise mindless matter, even make sense? What difference is made by insights subsequent to Baconian philosophy, such as the discovery of evolution or the sense that the natural world is not machine-like but behaves like an organism? Could the laws of nature be more like habits? And what about the existence of miracles, the purposes of organisms, and the extraordinary fecundity of creativity?

In Shakespeare's time, the actresses were boys—and for the most celebrated of them, fame came early but could end abruptly with a voice change. In this episode, author Nicole Galland joins us to talk about the world of boy players, young apprentices who performed women's roles onstage in England before 1660. Galland's novel, Boy, follows one of these real-life members of Shakespeare's company, Alexander “Sander Cooke,” and his fictional best friend, Joan, a fiercely curious young woman who disguises herself as a boy to pursue knowledge. Drawing inspiration from Shakespeare's cross-dressing heroines, Galland explores the freedoms and risks of reinventing gender roles in Elizabethan England. Figures like Francis Bacon appear in the novel as part of the broader web of power and political intrigue that shapes Joan and Sander's world. Through these connections, Galland brings Shakespeare's theatrical world to life and the people navigating its stage. Nicole Galland is the author of the historical novels I, Iago; Godiva; Crossed; Revenge of the Rose; and The Fool's Tale; as well as the contemporary romantic comedies On the Same Page and Stepdog, and the New York Times bestselling near-future thriller The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. (with Neal Stephenson). From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast. Published June 3, 2025. © Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved. This episode was produced by Matt Frassica.

English statesman Francis Bacon once wrote, “Money is a great servant but a bad master.”If we don't learn to manage money wisely to take control of it, it will soon master us. It's one way or the other. Today, Bob Lotich tells us how to be the master and not the servant when it comes to money—and he makes it pretty clear, as well.Bob Lotich is a high-performance financial coach and Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF®) and has been named a top-20 influencer in personal finance. His wife, Linda, and their award-winning website, SeedTime.com, as well as the SeedTime Money Podcast, have reached over 50 million people in the past decade. He is also the author of Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact. The Wake-Up Call: A Breakdown Leads to BreakthroughBob's story, which began in 2002 when his car broke down while he was on his way to deposit a paycheck, is one that many can relate to. He described how that moment of crisis led to a deep spiritual awakening about finances and stewardship.Unfortunately, the car breaking down prevented him from depositing his paycheck and paying rent on time. Facing the stress of a possible late fee he couldn't afford, Bob realized that his financial life was on shaky ground. He describes this moment as a "house of cards" that collapsed.In his frustration, Bob prayed for wisdom, and that simple prayer became the catalyst for a profound change. God responded, leading Bob to learn about biblical stewardship and practical financial management.Biblical Wisdom: Earning, Saving, and GivingAs Bob delved into the Bible, he came across a quote from John Wesley that changed his financial perspective: "Earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can." This idea, combined with scriptural truths, inspired him to view money not as a burden but as a tool for good.Bob reflected on passages like:Proverbs 13:11: "Gathering money little by little makes it grow."1 Timothy 6:17-19: Paul's admonition to the rich to be generous.Proverbs 22:7: The borrower is slave to the lender, which motivated Bob to eliminate debt.These verses reinforced the idea that managing money well is not about hoarding wealth but using it for God's purposes.Financial Unity in MarriageBob also emphasized the power of financial unity in marriage. Once he and his wife Linda aligned their financial goals with biblical principles, their relationship strengthened. They not only eliminated stress but also achieved impressive financial milestones, like paying off their house by the age of 31. Bob's story reminds us that peace in one's finances can be a unifying force in marriage, helping couples move forward together more quickly.The Four Keys to Earning MoreBob shared four essential principles for increasing earnings in today's digital age:Operate within God-given gifts and passions: Work aligned with your gifts gives you an "unfair advantage."Continue learning and developing your skills: Hone your craft to glorify God.Solve significant problems: You're compensated in proportion to the size of the problem you solve.Work where demand is high: Identify where there's a need and meet it.These principles guide believers to increase their earnings while keeping their hearts focused on God's kingdom.The Joy of GivingOne of the most impactful parts of Bob's message was his perspective on giving. He and his wife created a "seed account," setting aside money each month specifically for giving. By praying and waiting for opportunities, giving became not just a duty, but a joyful and fun part of their lives. This practice reminds us of the joy Jesus spoke of when He said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).Enjoying God's ProvisionFinally, Bob encouraged believers to enjoy the financial blessings God provides. He highlighted the importance of gratitude and appreciating what we have. Whether earning, saving, or giving, we can find joy in every aspect of financial stewardship.Bob's journey teaches us that financial freedom isn't about accumulating wealth for ourselves but about managing what God has entrusted to us with wisdom and generosity. We can design a life of eternal impact by earning, saving, giving, and enjoying God's provision.If you're looking for more practical tips and biblical wisdom, Bob's book Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact is a great resource to guide you on this journey.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a friend who is getting ready to retire as a union electrician and is really upset about losing $100,000 when the tariff news broke. I tried to tell him that the money would be made back once the markets recovered. Is my understanding correct that he will eventually get that money back? I currently have $55,000 in a Roth IRA and $37,000 in a Traditional IRA. I'm about 30 years from retirement and contribute $200 per month to my Roth. Does it make sense to roll over the traditional IRA funds into the Roth? Would it be a good financial move for me?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact by Bob LotichSeedtime.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Autonomia é obedecer a leis invisíveis — da moral, da razão, da tradição ou da fé? No Linhas Cruzadas, Andresa Boni e Luiz Felipe Pondé irão apresentar os conceitos da autonomia. A discussão nos levará a repensar o que é agir por conta própria e quais podem ser as consequências.São Tomás de Aquino acreditava que a obediência à vontade de Deus era a suprema virtude; já Francis Bacon via na razão aplicada à experiência o nascimento da moral. E Immanuel Kant transformou a autonomia na base da dignidade humana: os homens são livres na medida em que obedecem à própria razão. Pondé irá analisar os conceitos destes pensadores e apresentar, criticamente, quais são as expectativas sociais e as normas invisíveis que podem se tornar barreiras que impedem as pessoas de decidirem por si mesmas.Além disso, o episódio analisa como a tradição pode operar como uma forma silenciosa de moralidade coletiva, muitas vezes herdada e inconsciente, e como essa herança pode ser tanto guia quanto prisão.Assista ao Linhas Cruzadas, todas as quintas às 22h na TV Cultura.#TVCultura #LuizFelipePondé #AndresaBoni #LinhasCruzadas #Autonomia

If you've been listening to our show for a while (or hanging out on our Discord!), chances are you've heard Josh mention Dr. Jenna Moran's game Nobilis. In some ways adjacent to the World of Darkness and Exalted, in some ways adjacent to its own distinctively hallucinogenic blossom-laden spatial warp of hyperconsciousness, it seemed like a good choice for our first discussion of games outside of our usual bailiwick. And indeed, there is lots of inspiring cross-pollination to explore! We're giving an overview of the game's third edition corebook in this episode—mostly Josh explaining and trying to alleviate Pooka's confusion—and some thoughts on parallels for Changeling players. Perhaps other entries in this series of episodes will follow, where we examine other games outside the WoD? It's always best to start with the trippiest and see how things go from there. As discussed in this episode, Nobilis has had kind of a torturous publication history, but a version of the third and most recent edition—the one we talk about here—is available at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/89003/nobilis-the-essentials-volume-1?affiliate_id=3063731 (and hey, it appears to be on sale at present!).

Robert Frederick, host of The Hidden Life Is Best podcast, chats to James about the evil genius of Francis Bacon. Frederick makes the compelling case that much of what is wrong with the world today - including scientism and the power of freemasonry - can be traced back to this brilliant Jacobean scholar, polymath and occultist. He also endeavours to persuade James that Bacon, not Edward De Vere, was the man behind ‘William Shakespeare'. A highlight of this freewheeling, illuminating, erudite episode is Frederick's deconstruction of Romeo and Juliet, an occult sacrifice ritual masquerading as a love story. https://thehiddenlifeisbest.com https://substack.com/@robertfrederick ↓  If you need silver and gold bullion - and who wouldn't in these dark times? - then the place to go is The Pure Gold Company.

Ses pièces ont traversé les âges, explorant l'âme humaine avec une finesse et une profondeur inégalées. Pourtant, un doute étrange plane encore autour de sa figure : et s'il n'avait jamais existé ?1. Le doute naît d'un silenceTout commence au XIXe siècle, dans une époque où la critique littéraire devient plus méthodique, presque scientifique. Des chercheurs se penchent sur la vie de Shakespeare… et découvrent un vide troublant. On connaît très peu de choses sur l'homme de Stratford-upon-Avon. Pas de lettres conservées, aucun manuscrit de pièce de sa main, pas de preuve directe qu'il ait jamais voyagé hors d'Angleterre, ni fréquenté une université. En revanche, les œuvres sont remplies de références érudites au droit, à la politique, à la géographie italienne ou à la cour d'Angleterre, que l'on imagine difficilement accessibles à un simple fils de gantier, formé dans une école de province.C'est ainsi qu'un courant de pensée émerge : celui des anti-stratfordiens, convaincus que William Shakespeare n'aurait été qu'un prête-nom, une sorte de figure publique derrière laquelle se cacherait un véritable génie littéraire. Parmi les suspects avancés, on trouve Francis Bacon, philosophe et juriste, Christopher Marlowe, dramaturge rival, ou même la comtesse de Pembroke, femme de lettres éduquée et influente. L'idée séduit jusqu'à des figures prestigieuses comme Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud ou Henry James, qui voient mal comment un homme si discret, sans archives, aurait pu écrire Hamlet, Le Roi Lear ou Othello.Mais ce doute, aussi séduisant soit-il, résiste mal aux preuves historiques.2. Les preuves de son existenceCar William Shakespeare, loin d'être un fantôme, a laissé de nombreuses traces dans les archives. Des actes de propriété, des contrats, des témoignages contemporains — notamment celui du poète Ben Jonson, qui le connaissait personnellement — confirment qu'un certain William Shakespeare était acteur, auteur et homme d'affaires à Londres. Plusieurs pièces publiées de son vivant portent son nom. Il possédait même un théâtre, le Globe, où ses œuvres étaient jouées avec succès.3. Le testament : une preuve irréfutableMais la preuve la plus tangible, la plus intime aussi, reste son testament, rédigé peu avant sa mort en 1616. Ce document de trois pages, soigneusement conservé aux Archives nationales de Londres, porte sa signature à trois reprises. On y découvre un homme soucieux de ses proches, léguant ses biens, mentionnant son épouse Anne Hathaway, ses filles, et ses collègues de théâtre. L'existence même de ce testament contredit l'idée d'un mythe vide : il y avait bien un homme derrière le nom.Fait notable : ce testament vient d'être reproduit en 100 exemplaires fac-similés, une première, permettant au public et aux chercheurs d'approcher ce texte fondateur de plus près.En conclusionLa controverse sur l'identité de Shakespeare dit beaucoup sur notre fascination pour le mystère et le génie. Mais les faits, eux, sont têtus. Grâce à des documents officiels, à des témoignages directs — et surtout à ce testament signé de sa main, récemment remis en lumière —, il ne fait plus de doute que William Shakespeare a bel et bien existé. Et que le plus grand auteur anglais était aussi un homme bien réel. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

As I write these lines, my thoughts are still centered on a hill outside Jerusalem. It is so overwhelming to realize God's love in our lives. Reflecting on Easter memories shared with family and friends, one finds in life meaning, purpose, hope, and love. Easter is the greatest celebration of the year, and should be celebrated every day. It is a joyous celebration of victory. The whole world becomes more beautiful at Easter time. For Easter ushers in spring, when all nature seemed as dead, there suddenly is life from brown branches and small twigs and stems tender green leaves come forth. The whole world is a veritable garden making a beautiful Easter offering. Have you ever wondered why the beautiful Lily is called the Easter Lily? The lily has been used to decorate churches on Easter ever since Civil War times. The desire of churches to bring consolation to those who lost loved ones in war made it natural to choose Easter, which is the promise of the victory of life over death, as the occasion for special services. The lily, because it is symbolic of purity and new life, was so widely used that it became known as the Easter Lily. April showers bring May flowers. The song tells us the showers will bring many blessings among them, the flower gardens of spring. Warm Thoughts: God never sends the winter without the joy of spring. God Almighty first planted a garden, and indeed it is the purest of human pleasures. Francis Bacon, "And of Gardens." This wish for Easter blessings is especially for you. So it's to be expected, warm thoughts go with it. May you have many Easter blessings!Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea written by Dr. Luetta G.

Nos dias de hoje, pensar de forma crítica parece um desafio cada vez maior. Mas será que caímos frequentemente em armadilhas do pensamento sem perceber? No Linhas Cruzadas desta semana, Luiz Felipe Pondé e Andresa Boni analisam dois vícios de pensamento que geram debate público e influenciam a sociedade contemporânea: pensamento ideológico e o marketing.Pondé explicará o conceito de Francis Bacon: “todo pensamento verdadeiro começa quando se questionam os ídolos”, a partir do entendimento da manipulação do marketing e como ele afeta a percepção da realidade, principalmente quando se trata de gerações. Partindo da ideia de que a propaganda não vende apenas produtos, mas também estilos de vida e modos de ser, o programa analisa como a rotulagem de gerações e a cultura digital afetam a identidade política e social, especialmente da Geração Z.Assista ao Linhas Cruzadas, todas as quintas às 22h na TV Cultura.#TVCultura #LuizFelipePondé #AndresaBoni #Geração #Ideologia #Marketing #LinhasCruzadas

Talking with poet, editor, and literary trickster anon Jasper Ceylon on the art of aesthetic sabotage and poetics in the age of algorithm. From anonymous pen names to deliberate hoaxes published to destabilize the contemporary poetry scene, Jasper dissects the decay of literary standards, using his surreal, very funny and on point fake poetry journal Echolalia, as a critical manifesto serving as both scalpel and mirror. A self-described poetry fan first and foremost, Jasper satirizes the very world he inhabits, exposing identity-first editorial gatekeeping and the global flattening of taste. We talk about the ghost networks of the contemporary (poetry) world, the process in his rebellion; building a complete parallel poetic narrative world to dupe the editors. Instagram poetry and grievance studies, Jasper doesn't pull punches but neither is he cynical. A romantic dissident who wants to save humanity from an algorithm-dominated life of flattening dullness and mediocrity. We go deep on the state of publishing, the cult of identity, AI's role in human (poetic) deadness, on the the fun polarizing Edward De Vere theory of Shakespearean authorship, the disappearance of true literary dissent, and the neoliberal endgame of cultural homeostasis. On men and marginalization, the phobia of criticism in artistic spaces, and the tragedy of becoming cosmopolitan in the most banal sense. On the poetics of evil, on Vanessa Place, the battle between light and dark, the oversupply of menstruation poems and apocalypse. On breaking free of guardrails on the true task of poetry: not to comply, but to break the spell.On Mission And I am conversely just trying to…help people live well, see through some of this programming, make more informed choices, not create infrastructure that isolates people and demoralizes them under the guise of uplifting others. I'm trying to, if anything, onboard people to poetry, but to just get them to think very critically about the practices we currently have in place at this point in time right now.On Being A Poet But.. you just have to understand that as a poet you're gonna fly under the radar for a long while, potentially maybe your whole life. And if you're not cool with that, then become an Instagram poet. But if you wanna do something meaningful and you want to, actually take a serious go at this. You gotta be ready for a lot of disappointment upfront and potentially for the rest of your life.On Poetics of Evil / Vanessa PlaceTo promote evil as the great sort of aesthetic agenda - I would promote the exact opposite… I don't think crucifying people and institutions…under the guise of demonstrating strength is what we're trying to do here, because what is strength, quote unquote in artistic endeavor.Save it for the f*****g battlefield…I think it gets so messy when you take that on as your primary aim, as a creative you're really just a soldier in disguise. And those types can sometimes conceal it very well, but I think they're doing a gross injustice to their fellow man On The Polarizing Debate surrounding Edward De Vere as Shakespeare The De Vere stuff, because no one will listen to me talk about this anytime I try to talk about this in person, to anyone.They give me that same look like they're just mortified. That I would suggest a country bumpkin couldn't write the the most immortal works in our language. But you even post this stuff on 4Chan's lit. board and all that, and they would just melt down over this idea.  What seems more realistic? A highly educated, noted poet of nobility with tons of money and connections to the most famous and let's say, accomplished academics in the London circles like Francis Bacon and stuff like that. It's either that guy doing this or a country bumpkin who can't even sign his own name.Jasper's Post Script Additional Notes and LinksMy scorn for Vanessa Place is limitless. But for those interested in the essay discussed in the interview, and the theories that drive some of the very worst figures in poetry and culture-manipulation, consult the following: https://www.academia.edu/2778740/Radically_Evil_Poetics. And maybe treat yourself to one of Place's wretched Yoko Ono-esque conceptual art performance pieces while you're at it.But for a more entertaining diversion re: Shakespeare, avail yourself to some of Alexander Waugh's YouTube content on Edward de Vere (there's a lot of it).For a short-hand summary of the de Vere case, see: https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/top-reasons-why-edward-de-vere-17th-earl-of-oxford-was-shakespeare/. And for a supremely autistic (schizophrenic, maybe?) look at some of the finer details underlying the conspiracy, you might watch something like the following video: Henrie IX: Shakespeare, Edward de Vere, and Henry WriothesleyIn some ways, the potential "easter eggs" of this theory and de Vere's hidden lines in the sonnets and such inspired the ones I hid within Echolalia Review that are waiting to be discovered. Lastly, I cited John Donne at one point as being involved in the Rosicrucian collaborative aspect of the theory (along with Bacon and Marlowe), but I meant John Dee.Pick up a copy of: Echolaliapere ube pressJasper Ceylon SubstackJasper Ceyon BiographyEqual parts “Ezra Pound if he were a Discord user” and 21st-century Ern Malley, Jasper Ceylon takes inspiration from the titans of English-language poetry, as well as its great satirists and provocateurs. As a poet, he's been published extensively in magazines worldwide under his own name and many pen names, including “Adele Nwankwo,” “B. H. Fein,” and “Dirt Hogg Sauvage Respectfully.” He's the author of Pere Ube's literary cherry bomb/megaton nuke, "Echolalia Review: An Anti-Poetry Collection," but he's also been traditionally published as a novelist and critic.

Este episodio explora el método de Francis Bacon desde una nueva mirada: no como un sistema mecánico, sino como una guía heurística para descubrir conocimiento. A través de analogías, reglas y advertencias, Bacon propone una creatividad orientada, que sigue siendo relevante para pensar cómo construimos saber hoy.

Vengeance is such a core human urge that there are hundreds and thousands of parables and plays and stories warning us about what a dangerous path it is. In the classic Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet destroyed himself and the entire Danish royal family in the name of revenge. Francis Bacon wrote “A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.” Today's story is a good reminder that if you seek revenge, you should dig two graves. Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

The scraped-up underbellies of skateboards add an organic texture to Betty Stafford's sculptures and hanging works. The scratches multiply when riders slide across curbs, railings and other urban obstacles while performing tricks. Stafford disfigures and reshapes the discarded boards to create abstract sculptures, wall hangings and mobiles that convey movement. They are carved with a handheld jigsaw and assembled with a drill. Beyond the wood decks, Stafford uses ball bearings and the metal trucks that connect the wheels. Like many of her low-lying sculptures, the components of "Catch of the Day" (a bird going after fish) fit together with slots and seem to lean into each other around a solid center of gravity. "Fiddlehead" features curlicues that resemble flowers. Cross-cutting the decks reveals from six to a dozen plies of laminated wood, some darker than others, though bright pinks, blues and greens peek through on occasion. Stafford often leaves the edges unfinished and incorporates the boards' natural bends. Her bane is removing grip tape, the sandpaper-like coating atop the deck. In the summer, after letting the boards bake in the sun for a few hours, she can peel it off with minimal effort. Otherwise, it can take hours, she says. Her fractured portraits, inspired by modern English painter Francis Bacon, include a work encased in a purple plastic milk crate and others that use the covers of wooden boxes that once shipped plumbing supplies. Thin, oxidized copper wires culled from boat windows sometimes add a minimalist touch. "Coffee Break" "Creature" Detail from "Ishod" "Ishod" "Kingsize Slim" Stafford has a BFA from the University of Texas, Austin and studied drawing and watercolor at the Art Students League in Manhattan before moving to Philipstown more than three decades ago. She worked in the fashion industry and still draws but began making art with skateboards following the death of her son Sam, an avid rider, in 2013 at age 19. Skateboards usually contain colorful designs beneath the deck, the part that gets scratched up. Riders will cover the damage with stickers and those images sometimes are reflected in Stafford's work, which caused a stir when a skateboard sculpture was accepted for a recent group show. The gallery asked her to remove any copyrighted images, so she pulled the piece. Stafford's Ishod and Mask series goes for an Oceanic look, including an image reminiscent of Easter Island. A profile of Bob Dylan during the 1960s conveys lightness because of circles and ellipses drilled into his faux Afro. No matter what medium she uses, Stafford says her art is "all over the place." Daily walks in the woods help inform her style. She gets the raw material from 2nd Nature Skatepark in Peekskill and Hacienda Skate Shop in Newburgh. "I've received some seriously broken boards that made me wonder if the skater was all right," she says. For more of Betty Stafford's work, see bettystafford.com.

“We should note the force, effect, and consequences of inventions which are nowhere more conspicuous than in those three which were unknown to the ancients, namely printing, gunpowder and the compass. For these three have changed the appearance and the state of the world.” wrote Francis Bacon in 1620. And almost everybody agreed.Printing changed everything, but how exactly did it change everything? That is a question nobody posed properly until Elisabeth L. Eisenstein got on the academic stage in the 1970s and the debate has not yet stopped. In this episode I will try to take you through some of Eisenstein's ideas on the how of the change and, in the end, attempt a raincheck on what we can learn from it for the information revolution we are living through right now. No worries, this is still the History of the Germans, so we will talk facts and dates and processes, with only occasional attempts at breaking into the ivory tower…The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Doubt isn't the enemy of artistic greatness—it's the catalyst. Reuniting after two months apart, Ty and Nathan dive into the profound relationship between artistic excellence and uncertainty through Robert Hughes' provocative quote: "The greater the artist, the greater the doubt."Ty shares his exciting news about being accepted to the Marfa Invitational after years of persistent applications, exemplifying how perseverance through doubt eventually bears fruit. We explore Charles Bukowski's observation that intelligence breeds uncertainty while ignorance fosters unearned confidence, and how this paradox shapes the creative journey.The conversation weaves through profound insights from Anton Chekhov on asking questions rather than providing answers, Francis Bacon's challenge to "deepen the mystery," and Kurt Vonnegut's call to "jump off cliffs and develop wings on the way down." Drawing parallels between artistic exploration and literal mapmaking, we discuss how venturing into unknown creative territory requires tolerating discomfort while expanding our artistic capabilities.Whether you're feeling stuck in your creative practice or questioning your direction, this episode offers a refreshing perspective: interesting failures lead to interesting successes. By redefining what success means and embracing experimentation as part of the journey, artists can transform doubt from a burden into a powerful tool for growth.Ready to make your most interesting work? Join us for a conversation that might just change how you view uncertainty in your creative practice.

Mark-Anthony Turnage is a composer of contemporary classical music. Once called “Britain's hippest composer”, he has been in a rock band, got drunk with Francis Bacon, and tackled anything from drug abuse to football in his works. Mark was born in June 1960 in the Thames estuary town of Corringham in Essex. His musical talent was nurtured by his parents and he studied composition at the junior department at the Royal College of Music from aged fourteen. There he met the composer Oliver Knussen who became his tutor, mentor, and life-long friend. His first performed work, Night Dances, written while still at the Royal College, won a prize and heralded Mark's evolution into what one critic calls “one of the best known British composers of his generation, widely admired for his highly personal mixture of energy and elegy, tough and tender”. Greek, his debut opera, a reimagining of the Oedipus myth whose protagonist is a racist, violent and foul-mouthed football hooligan, shocked the establishment, which flinched, but accepted “Turnage, the trouble-maker” as a forceful voice. Over the past four decades he has sustained a distinguished and productive career that has seen him working closely with conductors of the stature of Bernard Haitink, Esa-Pekka Salonen and, particularly, Simon Rattle. He has been attached to prestigious institutions, such as English National Opera and both the BBC and Chicago symphony orchestras, and has written a vast range of music for many different instruments and ensembles. His influences include soul, gospel, all sorts of jazz and the great symphonic works of the repertoire. He has written operas, ballets, concertos, chamber pieces and choral works together with orchestrating a football match. His key works include Three Screaming Popes and Blood on the Floor (both inspired by Francis Bacon paintings, and the latter containing an elegy for his younger brother, Andrew, who died of a drug overdose in 1995), as well as more operas including one about the former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith. Mark lives in North London with his partner, the opera director, Rachael Hewer. DISC ONE: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 II. Molto vivace - Presto - Molto vivace – Presto.

Rina Arya is a Professor of Critical and Cultural Theory at the University of Hull, UK. She started her academic career working on the role of the sacred in death of God culture, especially in the paintings of Francis Bacon and writings of Georges Bataille, resulting in her acclaimed book "Francis Bacon: Painting in a Godless World". Her work on Bacon led to research in abjection where she wrote a number of articles and books on the subject, notably "Abjection and Representation." Rina is completing her next book on the cultural appropriation of Hinduism.​ In this conversation, Rina and I explored the areas of intersection between contemporary art and theology, focusing on theological aesthetics, embodiment, abjection, and the role of materiality in religious practices. We also discussed how contemporary artists engage with religious motifs, the impact of digital culture on spiritual experiences, and the importance of contemplative spaces in art. Additionally, we spoke about the evolving nature of religious expression in art and considered the potential for interfaith dialogue through artistic practices.

Letters of Marque & Reprisal-Mike's 2014 LPAC Speech (Nota bene: This was originally published on 21 September, 2014) Mandeville, LA - UPDATED: The video from this talk has been posted by LPAC - see previous speeches here and here, you can view it below. Here are my audio remarks from the 2014 LPAC convention held at the Hilton. I have enclosed the written version as well, which is in draft form. Thanks to the Campaign For Liberty for offering me this, 6th annual address to LPAC. Fame & The Founding Fathers' War Power-Marque And Reprisal ©2025  Mike Church We are now officially and simultaneously, illegally at war in Iraq and soon Syria. President Obama declared himself exalted mystic ruler of the U.S. Armed forces: "While I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization, I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course, and our actions will be even more effective...” Effective!? Who is he kidding? The NFL's policy against domestic violence is more effective. The KingDude delivering this speech, 19 September, 2014. The specific “authorization” that was given to President Obama to aid equip the little Jihadi Urban Achievers actually PROHIBITS the President from waging war, yet Obama has proceeded with his “strategy against ISIS”. This “strategy” requires the U.S. military to conduct acts of war in Syria. At first the Obama administration said they would just bomb ISIS back to Mecca over the Syrian's objections. Then they moderated that to say The Obama admin's team was negotiating a deal with Syria to gain permission. Think about that for a moment. The Obama admin is more concerned about obtaining theSyrian regime's permission to wage war than it is the American regime's. So how did we get to never-ending, full scale war that has basically been in effect since the first Iraq invasion of 1991 from a Constitution system that was drafted specifically to try and prevent? Why does no one in Congress, save for Ron Paul, even propose, maybe as a joke, to use letters of marque & reprisal and THEN proceed to full scale war AFTER Congress has proved it was a just war and THEN voted to declare it? In short, the answer is Fame. Francis Bacon the English author described what he called conditores imperiorum. As Bacon put it “Neither can they be secret, and therefore not ef− fectual; but according to the French proverb, Beaucoup de bruit, peu de fruit, Much bruit little fruit. The true marshalling of the degrees of sovereign honor, are these: In the first place are conditores imperiorum, founders of states and common− wealths; such as were Romulus, Cyrus, Caesar, Ottoman, Ismael. “ Plain and simple, it is FAME that drove the Founders to write the Constitution and it is fame that drives President's to grab more power than they were ever granted.  You might wonder if the Founders knew of this vanity and tried to guard against it? As a matter of fact they did. James Madison, Helvidius #4 wrote: “In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department. Beside the objection to such a mixture to heterogeneous powers, the trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man; not such as nature may offer as the prodigy of many centuries, but such as may be expected in the ordinary successions of magistracy. War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement. In war, a physical force is to be created; and it is the executive will, which is to direct it. In war, the public treasures are to be unlocked; and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them. In war, the honours and emoluments of office are to be multiplied; and it is the executive patronage under which they are to be enjoyed. It is in war, finally, that laurels are to be gathered; and it is the executive brow they are to encircle.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with painter Kirstine Rainer Hansen, as they discusses her transition from design and illustration to becoming a self-taught artist specializing in 'Disrupted Realism.' Born in Denmark, Kirstine has lived across various countries, ultimately settling in Carmel, California. Her path to art was unconventional; due to financial and societal pressures, she initially studied design but shifted to painting after struggling to find work during a recession. Kirstine's work, influenced by artists like Rembrandt, Francis Bacon, and Lucian Freud, is currently on display at the Jack Fisher Gallery at the Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco. She talks about how moving to San Francisco shaped her artistic style, transitioning from classical realism to a more fragmented, collage-based approach. Kirstine also dives into "Three Questions" talking about her artistic identity, influential works, and inspiring locations in the Bay Area.About Artist Kirstine Reiner Hansen:Kirstine Reiner Hansen is an artist based on the Central Coast of California, US. Born in Odense, Denmark, she received a BA in Design and Illustration at Kolding School of Design. Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries, most recently she had 2-person exhibition at Jack Fischer Gallery, San Francisco. In 2012 she received the Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant and was twice a semi-finalist for the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. She has been featured in Juxtapoz Magazine, BloPop Magazine and the Asian Curator as well as in the book ‘Distrupted Realism' by John Seed, 2019. Her work is featured in the movie ‘Meaning of a Ritual' by Berlin director Natalie MacMahon, 2023.Visit Kirstine's Website:  ReinerHansen.comFollow  on Instagram:  @ReinerHansenArtFor more about her current exhibit "Atmospheric Disruptions" at the Jack Fischer Gallery, CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

Scar-faced, ex-jailbird Frank Norman was part of the '50s and '60s Soho bohemian set and friends with Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, Dylan Thomas and other habitues of the infamous Colony Room club.   After being abandoned as a child, growing up in institutions, and working as a fairground worker, he landed in Soho, became a petty criminal and spent time in prison where he learned to paint and write.   Back in Soho on leaving jail, astonishingly he became a succesful author, writer of the smash hit cockney musical 'Fings Aint What They Used To Be', the acclaimed prison memoir Bang to Rights, and several novels - but never painted again.   In the early '60s he penned 'Soho Night and Day', a evocative survey of the area in its seedy, cosmopolitan prime, with photographs by his pal Jeffrey Bernard (later to become the most famous alcoholic in London).   Frank's grandson, Joe Daniel, came to talk  Bureau to talk about him and about the bohemian low-life of Soho in the '50s and '60s.   If you are listening to this in early 2025, and can be in London, we have curated an exhibtion in Soho of Frank's never before shown prison paintings: See BEHIND BARS- Frank Norman's Prison Paintings  for details   The republished wonderful Frank Norman and Jeffrey Bernard book Soho Night and Day   #soho #london #bohemian #colonyclub #colonyroom #Lucien Freud, #FrancisBacon #DylanThomas #FrankNorman #JeffreyBernard #murielbelcher #outsiderart    

KIB 466 – Sir Francis Bacon and the KJV Bible Kingdom Intelligence Briefing   Enigmatic statesman Sir Francis Bacon is shrouded in mystery. Hidden from the view of the uninitiated, Bacon and his Knights of the Helmet were the driving force behind William Shakespeare and the artistic language of the King James Version of the Bible. Although the final version of the KJV stayed true to the work of the deeply devoted Christian men who labored tirelessly to create the original draft of the KJV Bible, Bacon's group produced the “Shakespeare” effect and encoded Bacon's name into the text.   Shakespeare and the KJV Bible transformed the English language and enabled Great Britain to become the superpower of its day.   Important Works to Examine:   ·      Video: Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings Volume 1: The New Atlantis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzKqVtu6C5s&t=9s   ·      Book:  The Lost Secret of William Shakespeare by Dr. Richard Allen Wagner   ·      Article on “Francis Bacon and the KJV Bible.”  www.sirbacon.org   ·      Article:  “Francis Bacon and the Inspiration of the 1611 King James Bible” by Peggy Parker.   ·      Book:  The Secret Teachings of the Ages by Manly P.

Si on peut effectivement affirmer cela c'est à cause du philosophe et scientifique anglais Francis Bacon grâce à son invention de l'alphabet bilitère. Cet alphabet est un système de codage qui n'utilise que deux symboles, « A » et « B », pour représenter toutes les lettres de l'alphabet latin. L'idée de Bacon repose sur le fait qu'en combinant ces deux symboles selon des séquences spécifiques de cinq caractères, il est possible de représenter chaque lettre de l'alphabet. Par exemple, dans cet alphabet bilitère, la lettre « A » pourrait être codée par « AAAAA », la lettre « B » par « AAAAB », et ainsi de suite. En tout, 32 combinaisons sont possibles (car 2^5 = 32), ce qui est suffisant pour couvrir les 26 lettres de l'alphabet et d'autres caractères nécessaires. Ce système était destiné à des applications cryptographiques, permettant de dissimuler des messages en utilisant des textes apparemment innocents, où les lettres choisies auraient une forme spécifique qui correspondrait aux « A » et « B » du code de Bacon. Ce principe de codage binaire de l'information fait de l'alphabet bilitère un précurseur du système binaire utilisé aujourd'hui dans l'informatique. Le langage binaire moderne repose sur les chiffres 0 et 1, et fonctionne selon une logique similaire : chaque lettre, chiffre ou symbole est traduit en une séquence de bits (0 et 1). Le système de Bacon ne repose pas sur des impulsions électriques ou des technologies numériques comme les ordinateurs, mais le concept fondamental de représenter des informations complexes à l'aide d'une séquence de deux symboles est le même. Ainsi, Francis Bacon a posé une base conceptuelle importante en montrant que toute information textuelle pouvait être encodée avec une combinaison de seulement deux éléments. Ce fut un jalon philosophique qui, bien qu'à visée cryptographique, a ouvert la voie aux idées qui allaient plus tard se concrétiser dans les théories de Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz sur le binaire, puis dans l'informatique moderne. Le langage binaire que nous connaissons aujourd'hui, utilisé pour le traitement et le stockage de l'information numérique, peut donc en partie remonter à cette idée visionnaire du XVIIe siècle.

I'm Traci Purdum, EIC of Chemical Processing. Please subscribe to this free podcast on your favorite platform to continue learning with Trish & me in this series. This In Case You Missed It episode brings the written word to life. Today, Trish Kerin, the director of IChemE Safety Centre, and Stay Safe columnist for Chemical Processing, will read her column “Knowledge Is Power – Or Is It?” "Knowledge is power" — a phrase commonly attributed to Francis Bacon's 1597 work Meditationes Sacrae — has endured for centuries, echoed by influential figures like Thomas Jefferson. However, this adage, while impactful, may only scratch the surface of a deeper truth. When it comes to process safety, we need people to understand a range of aspects, from the basis of design to the operating philosophy. In other words, we need them to have knowledge.  Written By: Trish Kerin Read By: Trish Kerin  Read Article HERE

English statesman Francis Bacon once wrote, “Money is a great servant but a bad master.”If we don't learn to manage money wisely to take control of it, it will soon master us. It's one way or the other. Today, Bob Lotich tells us how to be the master and not the servant when it comes to money—and he makes it pretty clear, as well.Bob Lotich is a high-performance financial coach and Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF®) and has been named a top-20 influencer in personal finance. His wife Linda and his award-winning website, SeedTime.com, and SeedTime Money Podcast have reached over 50 million people in the past decade. He is also the author of Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact. The Wake-Up Call: A Breakdown Leads to BreakthroughBob's story, which began in 2002 when his car broke down while he was on his way to deposit a paycheck, is one that many can relate to. He described how that moment of crisis led to a deep spiritual awakening about finances and stewardship.Unfortunately, the car breaking down prevented him from depositing his paycheck and paying rent on time. Facing the stress of a possible late fee he couldn't afford, Bob realized that his financial life was on shaky ground. He describes this moment as a "house of cards" that collapsed.In his frustration, Bob prayed for wisdom, and that simple prayer became the catalyst for a profound change. God responded, leading Bob to learn about biblical stewardship and practical financial management.Biblical Wisdom: Earning, Saving, and GivingAs Bob delved into the Bible, he came across a quote from John Wesley that changed his financial perspective: "Earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can." This idea, combined with scriptural truths, inspired him to view money not as a burden but as a tool for good.Bob reflected on passages like:Proverbs 13:11: "Gathering money little by little makes it grow."1 Timothy 6:17-19: Paul's admonition to the rich to be generous.Proverbs 22:7: The borrower is slave to the lender, which motivated Bob to eliminate debt.These verses reinforced the idea that managing money well is not about hoarding wealth but using it for God's purposes.Financial Unity in MarriageBob also emphasized the power of financial unity in marriage. Once he and his wife Linda aligned their financial goals with biblical principles, their relationship strengthened. They not only eliminated stress but achieved impressive financial milestones, like paying off their house by the age of 31. Bob's story reminds us that peace in one's finances can be a unifying force in marriage, helping couples move forward faster together.The Four Keys to Earning MoreBob shared four essential principles for increasing earnings in today's digital age:Operate within God-given gifts and passions: Work aligned with your gifts gives you an "unfair advantage."Continue learning and developing your skills: Hone your craft to glorify God.Solve significant problems: You're compensated in proportion to the size of the problem you solve.Work where demand is high: Identify where there's a need and meet it.These principles guide believers to increase their earnings while keeping their hearts focused on God's kingdom.The Joy of GivingOne of the most impactful parts of Bob's message was his perspective on giving. He and his wife created a "seed account," setting aside money each month specifically for giving. By praying and waiting for opportunities, giving became not just a duty but a joyful, fun part of their lives. This practice reminds us of the joy Jesus spoke of when He said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).Enjoying God's ProvisionFinally, Bob encouraged believers to enjoy the financial blessings God provides. He highlighted the importance of gratitude and appreciating what we have. Whether earning, saving, or giving, we can find joy in every aspect of financial stewardship.Bob's journey teaches us that financial freedom isn't about accumulating wealth for ourselves but about managing what God has entrusted to us with wisdom and generosity. We can design a life of eternal impact by earning, saving, giving, and enjoying God's provision.If you're looking for more practical tips and biblical wisdom, Bob's book Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact is a great resource to guide you on this journey.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My identity was stolen over a year ago, and it was used to take out a student loan in my name. It's now showing up on my credit report as a collections item. The college says they don't do credit checks for loans. I'm still determining whether to address this now or wait to see if anything else pops up.I'm interested in buying a small home. I'm 60 years old, and my husband has land, so I wanted to know if it was the best time to build a house with the current interest rates. Would it be better for me to get a modular home instead of building a new one?Resources Mentioned:Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact by Bob LotichSeedtime.comLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this episode we talk about the weird little unfinished utopian novel The New Atlantis, written by founding enlightenment figure Francis Bacon. We talk about his fetish for differential novelty, his understanding and valorization of knowledge production, and his ambivalent status as a pivotal figure between medieval and modern science. He's right that European rationality is sickly, but what can orgiastic science deliver for utopian consciousness? Not clear! But it definitely would be cool to be able to make meteors and multiply natural forms.This is just a short clip from the full episode, which is available to our subscribers on Patreon:patreon.com/leftofphilosophyReferences:Francis Bacon et. al., The New Atlantis, in Three Early Modern Utopias (New York: Oxford, 2009).Music:“Vintage Memories” by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com“My Space” by Overu | https://get.slip.stream/KqmvAN

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 25, 2024 is: fealty • FEE-ul-tee • noun Fealty is an old-fashioned and somewhat literary word that refers to intense loyalty or fidelity to a person, group, etc. More narrowly, fealty refers to the fidelity of a vassal or feudal tenant to their lord. // Authors who inspire such fealty can guarantee a publisher good sales, no matter the quality of the books they write. // Kneeling before the entire court, the knight pledged his fealty to the king. See the entry > Examples: “[Director, Denis] Villeneuve's ‘Dune' movies deserve admiration if only for their fealty and ambition; the filmmaker's respect for [Frank] Herbert's source material radiates from every frame of movies that feel as massive as they are minutely orchestrated.” — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post, 28 Feb. 2024 Did you know? In The Use of Law, published posthumously in 1629, Francis Bacon wrote, “Fealty is to take an oath upon a book, that he will be a faithful Tenant to the King.” That's a pretty accurate summary of the early meaning of fealty. Early forms of the term were used in Middle English in the early 14th century, when they specifically designated the loyalty of a vassal to a lord. Eventually, the meaning of the word broadened. Fealty can be paid to a country, a principle, or a leader of any kind, though the synonyms fidelity and loyalty are more commonly used. Fealty comes from the Anglo-French word feelté, or fealté, which comes from the Latin noun fidēlitās, meaning “fidelity.” These words come ultimately from fidēs, the Latin word for “faith.”

In our recent series on artificial intelligence, I kept returning to a thought: This technology might be able to churn out content faster than we can, but we still need a human mind to sift through the dross and figure out what's good. In other words, A.I. is going to turn more of us into editors.But editing is a peculiar skill. It's hard to test for, or teach, or even describe. But it's the crucial step in the creative process that takes work that's decent and can turn it into something great.Adam Moss is widely known as one of the great magazine editors of his generation: He remade The New York Times Magazine in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and during his 15 years as editor in chief of New York magazine, shaped that outlet into one of the greatest print and digital publications we have. And he's now out with a new book, “The Work of Art: How Something Comes From Nothing.” It's a curation of 43 conversations with artists about the marginalia, doodles, drafts and revisions that lead to great art. It's a celebration of the hard, human work that goes into the creative act. It's a book, really, about editing.In this conversation, we discuss what musicians, writers, visual artists, sandcastle-builders and others have in common as they create; how editing is an underappreciated and often misunderstood step in the creative process; how creativity morphs in different stages of our lives; and trusting your own “sensibility.”Mentioned:“A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby” by Kara Walker“Miss Gleason” by Amy SillmanEzra Klein Show episode with George Saunders“Mother and Child on Blue Mat” by Cheryl PopeEzra Klein Show episode with Maryanne Wolf“Fidenza” by Tyler Hobbs“In a River” by RostamBook Recommendations:Interviews with Francis Bacon by David SylvesterFaux Pas by Amy SillmanThe Sketchbooks Revealed by Richard DiebenkornThoughts?
