Podcasts about General Theory

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.I'm your host, Jordan Youkilis, and in this episode, I share my capstone paper. I wrote this essay to complete my Master of Arts in Consciousness & Human Potential at Maharishi International University last month. This paper is titled “Is Consciousness the Unified Field? Evidence for a New Paradigm of Reality”.The capstone prompt was “The Application of Maharishi Vedic Science to Solve a Problem in Society.” The final research paper explores practical outcomes of Maharishi Vedic Science — how the principles brought out by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi can practically address current problems, such as education, government, school violence, PTSD, striving from full human development, need for creativity, etc.In “Is Consciousness the Unified Field?”, I propose that the Vedic concept of the field of pure consciousness and the self-interacting field of modern string theory are one and the same. I first describe the history of our current paradigm of reality, one defined by materialism, reductionism, and determinism. I then highlight anomalous phenomena which do not fit the materialist paradigm, including the hard problem of consciousness, the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement, the mystical experience, and higher states of consciousness.I then argue that consciousness is fundamental, and that matter is the illusion. Next, I explain how these anomalous phenomenon can be explained by a consciousness-based paradigm of reality as proposed by Maharishi Vedic Science. I conclude with thoughts on what this paradigm shift in our understanding of ultimate reality could mean for the future of humanity.If you enjoy this essay and are interested in learning more about Maharishi Vedic Science, check out the rest of the miniseries in Entangled episodes 47-53 and 82.Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

It's About Time! Step into the enigmatic realm of time and alternative realities with Weird Time: Exploring the Mysteries of Time and Space. Starting with ancient mythologies that introduced deities believed to control time and fate, right up to the forefront of modern science as renowned physicists unveil mind-bending theories about the nature of time and space. From Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to quantum mechanics, Weird Time examines cutting-edge ideas by modern physicists that push the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. Prepare to be transported beyond the limits of the conventional and into the mysterious realms of time slips, missing time, and alternate realities. Scientists may not yet agree on the nature of time, or if time travel is even possible, but here are firsthand accounts of ordinary individuals who have pierced the fabric of time and witnessed the unexplainable. A Somerset man who vanished after being struck by lightning, only to end up in a hospital from a different reality. A pilot flying from the Bahamas who found his plane suddenly drawn into an "electric fog tunnel" and transported to the Florida coastline in only 47 minutes. The anthropologist who speculates that UFOs could be time travelers from the future. The Italian Benedictine monk who claimed to have invented a device to view past events, only to have it dismantled by the Vatican. Foreword by Mark Olly Sean Casteel and Tim R. Swartz, along with some of the most talented paranormal researchers of our time, invite you on an unforgettable voyage through the past, present and future. Weird Time explores the fabric of reality itself, the many possibilities of tomorrow, and the realization that what we experience is only a fraction of a much larger, stranger universe.

Er revolutionierte unser Verständnis von Raum und Zeit: Albert Einstein. Mit seiner Relativitätstheorie stellte er die Physik auf den Kopf und veränderte die Welt für immer. Doch was genau besagt diese bahnbrechende Theorie? Wie beeinflusst sie unser tägliches Leben, und welche faszinierenden Phänomene lassen sich damit erklären? Tim & Max nehmen dich mit auf eine spannende Reise durch die Gedankenwelt Einsteins – von der berühmten Formel E=mc2E=mc^2E=mc2 bis zu den Geheimnissen der schwarzen Löcher. Viel Spaß!

This is the second episode in a miniseries on heterodox economists—people who embrace completely different approaches to economics than the standard thinkers. Adam and Cameron describe the life and work of Joan Robinson, who worked with John Maynard Keynes on his hugely influential macroeconomics book The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money—but came to regard Keynesianism as a failed revolution.

I wormhole, noti anche come ponti di Einstein-Rosen, sono teorizzati come tunnel che collegano due punti distanti nello spazio-tempo, permettendo un passaggio rapido tra essi. La spiegazione di come funziona un wormhole si basa sulla relatività generale di Einstein. Secondo alcuni documentari, i wormhole potrebbero teoricamente esistere e essere usati come macchine del tempo. Per costruire un wormhole stabile, sarebbe necessaria materia esotica con energia negativa, che impedirebbe al tunnel di collassare. Nei film come "Interstellar", i wormhole vengono rappresentati come passaggi praticabili per viaggi interstellari e temporali. Il concetto di wormhole come macchina del tempo implica che, manipolando uno degli ingressi con velocità relativistiche o posizionandolo in un forte campo gravitazionale, si potrebbe creare uno sfasamento temporale tra le due estremità. Questo permetterebbe di viaggiare nel tempo entrando in una estremità e uscendo nell'altra in un'epoca diversa. Tuttavia, sebbene l'idea sia affascinante, non esistono attualmente prove che i wormhole esistano nella realtà. Inoltre, costruire un wormhole con le tecnologie attuali è oltre le nostre capacità. La possibilità di viaggiare nel tempo attraverso i wormhole rimane quindi un affascinante tema di ricerca teorica e speculazione scientifica. FONTI • De-Chang Dai and Dejan Stojkovic.

Guiding Principles:  Gretchen Ronnevik Quote We LOVE: “When I taught classical writing to teens, there's an element to formal rhetoric called "refutation" where you address the arguments opposed to your thesis. In refutation, it's important to present the arguments of your opponents in a way that they would feel well represented, so that you can talk about where they are wrong in their argument, point by point, instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks, or misrepresentation. In classical rhetoric, ad hominem attacks, and twisting the words of your opponent where they would say "but that's not what I said, nor how I meant it," is actually the weakest way to refute their arguments. It shows that you don't have a good case against their issue, so you resort to theatrics and distractions instead. The reason that you want your opponents to agree with your representation of them is that you are seeking to win them over and persuade them. If they feel they have been misrepresented, they will never be persuaded, they will just continue to clarify again and again, until they realize you have no intention of actually hearing them.” Gretchen's website and Twitter/X Account PoliticsiCivics: Susanna's recommendation for teaching civics and government to grammar/rhetoric stage studentsThe Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt: Susanna's book recommendation for rhetoric students and adultsEconomics Uncle Eric Books: We mention using these books to explain the Libertarian or Free Market view of economicsTuttle Twins: We mention this as an example of an economics/government program for kids that has a stated Libertarian slantOlder students should read the strongest arguments for each major economic theory and/or the source material, like The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith for Free Market Economics or The General Theory of Employment by John Maynard Keynes for Keynesian economics. Resources for looking for rhetoric stage economics courses (let us know your comments about potential slants!): Great Courses (a lot of course options, check the syllabus to see if the course you're interested in covers multiple economic theories) Edx  (same as above)Khan Academy (they have a section about Keynesian economics and its critics)Crash Course (supplemental videos, potential Keynesian slant.

HARRIS/WALZ CAMPAIGN ADVANCING PRICE CONTROLS: WHAT ALWAYS GOES WRONG? 1/4: Samuelson Friedman: The Battle Over the Free Market. by Nicholas Wapshott . https://www.amazon.com/Samuelson-Friedman-Battle-Over-Market-ebook/dp/B08589Z7M9/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Nicholas+Wapshott+%2B+samuelson&qid=1627690920&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 From the author of Keynes Hayek, the next great duel in the history of economics. In 1966 two columnists joined Newsweek magazine. Their assignment: debate the world of business and economics. Paul Samuelson was a towering figure in Keynesian economics, which supported the management of the economy along lines prescribed by John Maynard Keynes's General Theory. Milton Friedman, little known at that time outside of conservative academic circles, championed “monetarism” and insisted the Federal Reserve maintain tight control over the amount of money circulating in the economy. In Samuelson Friedman, the author and journalist Nicholas Wapshott brings narrative verve and puckish charm to the story of these two giants of modern economics, their braided lives and colossal intellectual battles. Samuelson, a forbidding technical genius, grew up a child of relative privilege and went on to revolutionize macroeconomics. He wrote the best-selling economics textbook of all time, famously remarking "I don't care who writes a nation's laws—or crafts its advanced treatises—if I can write its economics textbooks." His friend and adversary for decades, Milton Friedman, studied the Great Depression and with Anna Schwartz wrote the seminal books The Great Contraction and A Monetary History of the United States. Like Friedrich Hayek before him, Friedman found fortune writing a treatise, Capitalism and Freedom, that yoked free markets and libertarian politics in a potent argument that remains a lodestar for economic conservatives today. In Wapshott's nimble hands, Samuelson and Friedman's decades-long argument over how—or whether—to manage the economy becomes a window onto one of the longest periods of economic turmoil in the United States. As the soaring economy of the 1950s gave way to decades stalked by declining prosperity and "stagflation," it was a time when the theory and practice of economics became the preoccupation of politicians and the focus of national debate. It is an argument that continues today. SEPTEMBER 16, 1920 WALL STREET BOMBING

Vedran Bajer je country manager Microsofta Hrvatska, no njegova karijera uključuje više voditeljskih pozicija u MojPosao i VIDI, te vođenje više business development odjela u Googleu. Posao ga je vodio diljem svijeta, a dovoljno je dugo vremena proveo u Singapuru i Švicarskoj da se tamo osjeća kao doma. Osoba je vrlo širokih interesa, kao najveće kvalitete ističe radoznalost, spremnost na učenje, čitanje knjiga, te sportu.

We have the wonderful Nigel Paine back in the house for an exciting and banter-filled episode about leadership. It's a continuation of the previous Nigel show, The "Follow the Leader" Episode. Nigel and Matt continue the conversation about the nuance of leadership-- what the heck is it practically as organizations struggle to get their arms around it. A bulk of the discussion centers on the work of the wonderful historian and leadership expert, Keith Grint from the Säid Business School of the University of Oxford and also the University of Warwick, both in the UK. You can learn more about Keith here: https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/about-us/people/keith-grint And a wonderful primer on Keith's work is his short book, LEADERSHIP, A VERY SHORT INTRODUCTION. You can get it here: https://amzn.to/4elBIeg They leverage his problem-based model of leadership taking Rittel and Webber's Wicked and Tame problems (and adding Critical Problems) as a basis for prescribing a leadership, management, or command response.  Rittel and Webber. Here is the reference to their work: Rittel, H.W.J. and Webber, M.M.. (1973) Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning. Policy Sciences. 4, pp. 155-169. The classicJames MacGregor Burns book introducing the concept of Transformational Leadership is:  Burns, J. M. (1978). Leadership (1st ed.). New York: Harper & Row. Barbara Kellermen's book is: Kellerman, B. (2012). The end of leadership (1st ed.). New York: Harper Business, An Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers. Jeffrey Pfeffer wrote a wonder book called LEADERSHIP BS. The reference is:  Pfeffer, J. (2015). Leadership BS : fixing workplaces and careers one truth at a time (First edition. ed.). New York, NY: Harper Business, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. We also reference Ronald Riggio: Riggio, R. E. (Ed.) (2018). What's Wrong with Leadership? New York: Routledge. Matt incorrectly says Charles Wheelen's name. It is Wheelen and his book is called Naked Economics. We allude to systems-based leadership. You can learn more about it here: Raelin, J. A. (2016).

THE KEYNESIANISM DEBATE CONTINUES: 2/4: Samuelson Friedman: The Battle Over the Free Market. by Nicholas Wapshott . https://www.amazon.com/Samuelson-Friedman-Battle-Over-Market-ebook/dp/B08589Z7M9/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Nicholas+Wapshott+%2B+samuelson&qid=1627690920&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 From the author of Keynes Hayek, the next great duel in the history of economics. In 1966 two columnists joined Newsweek magazine. Their assignment: debate the world of business and economics. Paul Samuelson was a towering figure in Keynesian economics, which supported the management of the economy along lines prescribed by John Maynard Keynes's General Theory. Milton Friedman, little known at that time outside of conservative academic circles, championed “monetarism” and insisted the Federal Reserve maintain tight control over the amount of money circulating in the economy. In Samuelson Friedman, the author and journalist Nicholas Wapshott brings narrative verve and puckish charm to the story of these two giants of modern economics, their braided lives and colossal intellectual battles. Samuelson, a forbidding technical genius, grew up a child of relative privilege and went on to revolutionize macroeconomics. He wrote the best-selling economics textbook of all time, famously remarking "I don't care who writes a nation's laws—or crafts its advanced treatises—if I can write its economics textbooks." His friend and adversary for decades, Milton Friedman, studied the Great Depression and with Anna Schwartz wrote the seminal books The Great Contraction and A Monetary History of the United States. Like Friedrich Hayek before him, Friedman found fortune writing a treatise, Capitalism and Freedom, that yoked free markets and libertarian politics in a potent argument that remains a lodestar for economic conservatives today. In Wapshott's nimble hands, Samuelson and Friedman's decades-long argument over how—or whether—to manage the economy becomes a window onto one of the longest periods of economic turmoil in the United States. As the soaring economy of the 1950s gave way to decades stalked by declining prosperity and "stagflation," it was a time when the theory and practice of economics became the preoccupation of politicians and the focus of national debate. It is an argument that continues today.  1902 DUBLIN

PREVIEW: Keynesianism: From a conversation later tonight with author Nicholas Wapshott re the debate in the pages of Newsweek in the 1960s between those who believe Keynes theory of spending as an answer to recession (Paul Samuelson)  vs those who believe spending causes inflation which contributes to underperformance(Milton Friedman).   Samuelson Friedman: The Battle Over the Free Market. by Nicholas Wapshott . https://www.amazon.com/Samuelson-Friedman-Battle-Over-Market-ebook/dp/B08589Z7M9/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Nicholas+Wapshott+%2B+samuelson&qid=1627690920&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 From the author of Keynes Hayek, the next great duel in the history of economics.

What causes business cycles? Keynesians say the cycles happen because the free market economy does not spend enough. Thus, pump spending in. Additionally, Keynesians say that animal spirits cause these cycles. Government must fix things. Nobody could understand Keynes' General Theory. What was simply obscure was wrongly considered deep. Keynes linked national income with employment, by assuming wage rates are fixed downward. Although Keynes wrote of balanced budgets, there were only deficits.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)Translated by Robert W. Lawson (1890 - 1960) This is an introduction to Einstein's space-bending, time-stretching theory of Relativity, written by the master himself. Special and General relativity explain the structure of space time and provide a theory of gravitation, respectively. Einstein's theories shocked the world with their counterintuitive results, including the dissolution of absolute time. In this book he brings a simplified form of his profound understanding of the subject to the layperson. In the words of Einstein: “The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics.” The book is challenging at times but, when approached patiently, proves itself one of the most lucid explanations of Relativity to be found anywhere. [Due to transcription or optical character recognition errors in creating online texts, and because of less-than-clear fonts in some printed texts, the variables as read in some of the equations here are not as Einstein intended. For example, the numeral ‘one' has frequently been printed and read as the letter ‘I.' In addition, some equations do not translate well into the spoken word. If you require completely accurate renditions of Einstein's mathematical formulas, we suggest that you consult a published text.] — Summary written by Kelly Bescherer [and Laurie Anne Walden] Genre(s): Astronomy, Physics & Mechanics Language: English --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/librivox1/support

In Part Two of John Maynard Keynes, Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt reconnect with Keynes in the 1930s, as he slowly pulls together his magnum opus, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. This book changed everything for Keynes, and the rest of us, by establishing Keynesianism as a new way to understand both the economy and society. Ian and Dorian discuss the last decade of Keynes' life, from the New Deal to the Second World War to the Bretton Woods conference which established the post-war order. When Keynes died suddenly in 1946, his ardent disciples had just begun remaking the world. Did Keynes save capitalism from itself? “We are all Keynesians now,” declared Time magazine in 1965, but 10 years later a global economic crisis was opening the door to the neoliberal counter-revolution, led by Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. Were the Keynesians more Keynesian than Keynes himself? Should he be credited with the post-war boom and blamed for its dramatic implosion? Is the relationship between Keynesian and neoliberal visions more complex than it appears? And are Joe Biden and Keir Starmer taking us into a new age of Keynes?

“Self-control, an aspect of inhibitory control, is the ability to regulate one's emotions, thoughts, and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses.[1][2] As an executive function, it is a cognitive process that is necessary for regulating one's behavior in order to achieve specific goals.[2][3] A related concept in psychology is emotional self-regulation.[4] Self-control is thought to be like a muscle. Self-regulation, whether emotional or behavioral, is a limited resource which functions like energy.[clarification needed][5] In the short term, overuse of self-control leads to depletion.[6] However, in the long term, the use of self-control can strengthen and improve it over time.[2][6] Self-control is also a key concept in the general theory of crime, a major theory in criminology. The theory was developed by Michael Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi in their book A General Theory of Crime (1990). Gottfredson and Hirschi define self-control as the differential tendency of individuals to avoid criminal acts independent of the situations in which they find themselves.[7] Individuals with low self-control tend to be impulsive, insensitive towards others, risk takers, short-sighted, and nonverbal. About 70% of the variance in questionnaire data operationalizing one construct of self-control was found to be genetic.[8]” -Wikipedia --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the man who, in 1905, produced several papers that were to change the world of physics and whose name went on to become a byword for genius. This was Albert Einstein, then still a technical expert at a Swiss patent office, and that year of 1905 became known as his annus mirabilis ('miraculous year'). While Einstein came from outside the academic world, some such as Max Planck championed his theory of special relativity, his principle of mass-energy equivalence that followed, and his explanations of Brownian Motion and the photoelectric effect. Yet it was not until 1919, when a solar eclipse proved his theory that gravity would bend light, that Einstein became an international celebrity and developed into an almost mythical figure.

Welcome back to The Trip Report Podcast, a production of Beckley Waves, a psychedelic venture studio.Today, we are speaking with Oshan Jarow.Oshan is a writer, podcaster, and a fellow at Vox Media's Future Perfect, a division focused on covering the crucially important issues that are often under-reported.In this role, Oshan writes about the intersection of economics and the contemplative sciences–this includes things like psychedelics, meditation, and as we get into some depth, the emerging science of the mind. I've been following Oshan's work for a few years, but a recent essay in Vox titled “The psychedelic renaissance is at risk of missing the bigger picture” prompted me to invite him on The Trip Report Podcast.At the time of its publication, I noted that it is one of the best summaries of the dynamics at play in the psychedelic space that I have ever seen.But it is Oshan's essay, titled “A General Theory of Spirituality” that got me excited to speak with him. As we discuss, there is a bit of a scientific revolution afoot at the intersection of modern neuroscience and the spiritual and contemplative traditions of the past.This is the first in what I believe will be a series of episodes with writers, scientists, and meditators that will explore this rich field at the intersection of spiritual insight, psychedelic states and the emerging model of the brain and mind: the predictive processing framework.Also, in this episode, we discuss:* The connection between a society's economic incentives and the effect on individuals' subjective experience and well-being;* The potential of psychedelics for spiritual practice and the betterment of the well;* The concept of entropy and functional integration of neural pathways and the effect of psychedelics on these parameters; and* The free energy principle, predictive processing, and a General Theory of Spirituality.And without further ado, I bring you my conversation with Oshan Jarow.Listen to the episode on Substack, Spotify, Google or Apple.Credits:* Hosted by Zach Haigney * Produced by Zach Haigney, Erin Greenhouse, and Katelin Jabbari* Find us at thetripreport.com* Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube* Theme music by MANCHO Sounds, Mixed and Mastered by Rollin Weary This is a public episode.

Tonight we explore the strange reality of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and what it means for 3 dimensional beings born into a 4 dimensional Universe. It predicts our birth from a singularity in an expanding Universe, the contraction of space at the speed of light, and both black holes and the infinite time dilation at their horizon. It's bizarre that space truly compresses and time actually slows down deep inside gravitational wells and near the speed of light. We literally observe supernovae billions of light years away exploding at half their normal speed. So let's find out about the history and basics of relativity.   ▸ Want to leave a tip or connect?:    Video credits: Carrol and Ostlie (textbook I used): https://amzn.to/3QtiABm TNG Simulations https://www.tng-project.org/media/ NASA/STSci/ESA Davis and Lineweaver (2003) https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0310808 Nolan, C.

An introduction to the conceptual and mathematical framework of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. We begin by considering the key insight of gravity as a geometric phenomenon, and how the curvature of spacetime by matter explains the equality of inertial and gravitational mass. We then discuss the mathematics of general relativity, including geodesics, differential manifolds, covariant derivatives, the metric tensor, Christoffel symbols, the Riemann curvature tensor, the Ricci tensor, and the energy-momentum tensor. The episode concludes with a derivation and explanation of the significance of Einstein's Field Equations. Recommended pre-listening is Episodes 114 and 115: Special Relativity 1 and 2.  If you enjoyed the podcast please consider supporting the show by making a PayPal donation or becoming a Patreon supporter. https://www.patreon.com/jamesfodor https://www.paypal.me/ScienceofEverything
