Nikolay Kukushkin is an associate professor at New York University, and a senior scientist at Thomas Carew's laboratory at the Center for Neural Science. He describes himself as a "molecular philosopher", owing to his day job as a molecular biologist and his broad perspective on how it "hangs together", in the words of Wilfrid Sellers, who in 1962 wrote, “The aim of philosophy, abstractly formulated, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term”. That is what Niko does in his book One Hand Clapping: Unraveling the Mystery of the Human Mind. This book is about essences across spatial scales in nature. More precisely, it's about giving names to what is fundamental, or essential, to how things and processes function in nature. Niko argues those essences are where meaning resides. That's very abstract, and we'll spell it out more during the discussion. But as an example at the small scale, the essences of carbon and oxygen, respectively, are creation and destruction, which allows metabolism to occur in biological organisms. Moving way up the scale, following this essence perspective leads Niko to the conclusion that there is no separation between our minds and the world, and that instead we should embrace the relational aspect of mind and world as a unifying principle. On the way, via evolution, we discuss many more examples, plus some of his own work studying how memory works in individual cells, not just neurons or populations of neurons in brains.

As AI tools race into every corner of software development, a simple question keeps coming back to me. Will AI replace human testers, or will it force us to rethink what great testing looks like in the first place. In today's conversation, I talk with Santiago Komadina Geffroy, a Software Engineer at Jalasoft and an educator with Jala University, about what changes, what stays, and what teams should do next. Santiago shares how his day job and teaching intersect. He points to a gap he sees often. Engineers are experimenting with large language models without fully understanding how they work, which leads to overconfidence and avoidable rework. He argues for clearer interaction patterns between tools and people. Think less about magic prompts and more about protocols, context sharing, and agent to agent collaboration. That shift frees testers to do the thinking work that AI still struggles with, from exploratory testing and usability judgment to spotting the weird edge cases that only show up when real humans use real products. We also get into bias and ethics. AI is only as fair as the data it learns from, and that matters in healthcare, finance, and hiring where a mistake can carry life changing consequences. Santiago calls for stronger education around data quality, authorship, privacy, and environmental impact, not as a side note but as part of how engineers are trained. He believes governance helps teams move faster with fewer regrets when they take AI into production. Security sits in the mix too. Many AI tools need deep system access. If compromised, they can distort results or leak sensitive information. Santiago is candid about the limits of any single safeguard. He recommends a culture of shared responsibility where engineers understand when to call in security specialists and how to design workflows that keep humans in the loop for consequential decisions. We close with what Jalasoft has learned from building with AI inside a nearshore model in South America. More thinking time. Smaller, controllable scopes. Clear lines between routine automation and human judgment. The headline is simple. AI will change testing. Human testers will remain at the heart of quality.

Portland residents say daily life continues largely undisturbed, even as the city becomes a political talking point. Small, peaceful protests near a federal immigration facility have continued for weeks. Many locals say they're frustrated by national portrayals of violence, noting that crime in Portland has fallen sharply this year. Hirsh Goldberg-Polin was among the dozens of people taken hostage during Hamas' terrorist attack. He was later murdered in captivity. Two years after the carnage of Oct. 7, 2023, his family sees hope for the remaining hostages, and the people of war-torn Gaza, and tells CBS News' Debora Patta that what's needed now is leadership, to "bring these people home and stop this pain in our region." Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Comedy Festival is attracting global stars including Dave Chappelle, Pete Davidson and Kevin Hart, with reports that some are being paid more than $1 million each. The event is part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's push to rebrand the conservative kingdom through sports and entertainment. Human rights groups say the campaign is an attempt to whitewash abuses, pointing to restrictions on free speech and the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Jennifer Hudson, an EGOT winner known for her powerful voice and magnetic presence, is celebrating the fourth season of her Emmy-nominated daytime series, "The Jennifer Hudson Show." She joins "CBS Mornings" to talk about its success. In his memoir "Misunderstood," NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson opens up about his groundbreaking basketball career and the challenges that came with fame. Iverson tells CBS News' Maurice DuBois that his story is one of survival, honesty and self-acceptance.

Everyone's talking about the AI datacenter boom right now. Billion dollar deals here, hundred billion dollar deals there. Well, why do data centers matter? It turns out, AI inference (actually calling the AI and running it) is the hidden bottleneck slowing down every AI application you use (and new stuff yet to be released). In this episode, Kwasi Ankomah from SambaNova Systems explains why running AI models efficiently matters more than you think, how their revolutionary chip architecture delivers 700+ tokens per second, and why AI agents are about to make this problem 10x worse.

Human beings don’t deal well with uncertainty, which is why a mystery draws you in and why a cliffhanger on a TV show can keep you watching well past your bedtime. Your brain is wired for answers. Yet life is full of uncertainty. So how do we manage this tension? When a story is unfolding and you wonder, “how will this end?” Or when the big questions of life go unanswered and you lie awake wondering, Who is God? What am I here for? What does all of this mean? How do we handle not knowing? In today’s episode, I want to share a practice I’ve been using that is helping me live with the inevitable uncertainty of life. But I’m not just living with it. I’m using it as leverage to unfold into the fullness of myself. Check out the episode and I’d love to hear what you think.

Perfect for adults, kids, or babies to sleep through the night - the sound of rain can be remarkably beneficial for enhancing sleep quality and promoting relaxation. Rainfall produces a natural, rhythmic white noise that has a calming effect on the mind and body, making it an excellent tool for aiding sleep. The gentle patter of raindrops creates a consistent and predictable auditory environment, masking disruptive sounds from the surroundings and reducing the likelihood of disturbances that might otherwise interrupt sleep. This continuous sound helps to create a sense of familiarity and security, allowing the brain to disengage from stressors and worries, ultimately leading to a more peaceful and restful slumber. Additionally, the sound of rain triggers a psychological response that is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history. Human beings have evolved in environments where rainfall was a regular occurrence, signifying safety and abundance. As a result, the sound of rain taps into our primal instincts, subconsciously signaling to the brain that it's a time for rest and restoration. This innate connection to the rain's sound can help lower the body's stress hormone levels, such as cortisol, while simultaneously promoting the release of relaxation-inducing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Consequently, the act of listening to rain becomes more than just an auditory experience; it becomes a powerful method for aligning the body with its natural circadian rhythms, ultimately facilitating a deeper and more rejuvenating sleep. In a world characterized by constant stimulation and digital distractions, the simple act of immersing oneself in the sound of rain offers a tranquil escape. The rhythmic and repetitive nature of raindrops creates a meditative ambiance that encourages the mind to unwind and wander, gradually leading to a state of relaxation conducive to falling asleep. Unlike jarring noises or sudden disruptions, the sound of rain is consistent and non-intrusive, allowing the brain to gradually drift into a state of tranquility. This process is akin to mindfulness meditation, where the focus on a single, soothing stimulus—like rain—dissolves racing thoughts and encourages a sense of presence. By creating this mental space, listening to rain becomes a powerful tool for unwinding the mind, releasing tension, and inviting a deep and fulfilling sleep experience. Sweet dreams! DISCLAIMER: Do not turn the volume up so high that you are unable to have a regular conversation. Loud sounds can potentially damage your hearing. While listening, make sure the sound is at a reasonable volume. Do not place speakers next to a child's ears. If you have difficulty hearing or hear ringing in your ears, please immediately discontinue listening and consult an audiologist or physician.

How do we access joy when the world feels heavy?How do we lean into joy amidst collective anguish, grief, and global uncertainty?As we enter the holiday of Sukkos, the time of our joy, we are asked to celebrate. But what does it look like to celebrate honestly, without ignoring the ache of our times?In this episode, we explore how Sukkos offers a model of Jewish joy that honors the emotional complexity of life. A joy that is not about denying our pain, but about making a courageous spiritual choice: to recognize the divine presence and be moved by it, to root more deeply into our communal spaces and our responsibility for one another, and to bring our sorrow to the dance floor, trusting in its ultimate healing.Sources:Chapter 33, Tanya by the Alter Rebbe "I Praised Happiness" by Rabbi Shagar "Catharsis" by Rabbi Joseph B. SoloveitchikLikutei Moharan, Part II 23:1:2Rabbi Isaac Luria, Pri Etz Hayim, Sukkot* * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

Life is about engaging with the choices you can make right now, and embracing uncertainty with the courage to choose again and again.In this episode of Real Things Living, host Brigitte Cutshall speaks with entrepreneur and author, Hussein Hallak, about his book "The Dark Art of Life Mastery" and his mission to turn lived experience into legacy. They explore why making choices—big or small—matters more than getting them “right,” how curiosity and resilience shape our growth, and why human connection will always outweigh technology's advances. This conversation is a reminder that the real art of life is not about control, but about choosing fully in the present moment—again and again.3 Takeaways:(1) Choice is a skill—the more often you practice making decisions, the more confident and resilient you become.(2) Small choices matter—you're not stuck; if something isn't working, you can make a different choice in the moment.(3) Human stories connect us—technology can assist, but it can't replace the meaning, empathy, and joy we create through lived experience.Check out Hussein's book "The Dark Art of Life Mastery" and connect with him at https://husseinhallak.comSubscribe to Real Things Living for more conversations that celebrate resilience, creativity, and the power of choice.

Type 2 diabetes directly damages your heart's ability to make energy, leaving you more vulnerable to fatigue, swelling, and heart failure Human heart tissue studies show that mitochondria — the power plants of your cells — lose key components in diabetic hearts, forcing the heart to beat with less fuel Fat and sugar metabolism both become inefficient, and backup fuels fail to provide support, leaving your heart stranded without reliable energy sources Structural changes inside the heart, including scar-like collagen buildup and weaker calcium-handling proteins, make each heartbeat less coordinated and less powerful You can take action by cutting linoleic acid (LA) from your diet, choosing the right carbohydrates, limiting environmental toxins, using sunlight strategically, and tracking your insulin resistance with HOMA-IR to protect your heart's energy systems

The LORD gets right to the heart of the issues of stealing, adultery, and a whole slew of sins: coveting. Human instinct is to ensure that no one will have as much or more than me. Luther exhorts us to not only repent of these covetous thoughts, but to assist our neighbor in protecting and caring for his possessions. We see this commandment most often broken during disputes over inheritances and possessions. The heart always desires more, and if we can acquire said possessions in ways that the world sees as “fine,” we can easily justify our actions instead of making sure we protect and enable our neighbor to keep what is his. “Lord have mercy and help us to serve others and give thanks for what You have given us. Amen.” Rev. John Zimmerman, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Scranton, PA and St. John Lutheran Church, Pittston, PA, joins Rev.

Since Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his major projects goals, Alberta has been crystal clear — it wants a new pipeline to the west coast. Now, the province is planning to submit a formal application to Canada's Major Projects Office, but B.C. won't play ball. The House checks in with B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix to get the west coast perspective, as well as Alex Pourbaix, Cenovus Energy's board chair, who is co-leading the advisory group assisting the Alberta government on its pipeline pitch.Plus, as the death toll in Gaza continues to rise, Palestinians in Canada are calling on Ottawa to bring their family members to safety through an emergency temporary immigration program. CBC's Raffy Boudjikanian shares the story of Eman Alatbash, who worries about her sister's fate in Gaza and the rest of her family stuck in Cairo.Next, in the two years since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks on Israel that triggered the war in Gaza, incidents of antisemitism have risen dramatically around the world. What has to happen to stop it? Human rights lawyer and former justice minister Irwin Cotler joins Catherine Cullen to talk about the rise of antisemitism in Canada and how to address it. Then, a new report from an RBC research team suggests Canada's farming workforce is drying up. Author Lisa Ashton joins the show to discuss what the federal government needs to do to shore up Canada's farms.Finally, On his first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation as prime minister, Mark Carney spoke in detail about a piece of art he's recently had installed on Parliament Hill. Catherine Cullen speaks with artist Luke Parnell, who created A Brief History of Northwest Coast Design back in 2007, about the prime minister's reflections on his work and the road ahead for reconciliation.This episode features the voices of:Adrian Dix, B.C.

The great primatologist and humanitarian, Jane Goodall, died on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. It is a joy and a comfort to revisit our last broadcast of her 2020 conversation with Krista.  Jane Goodall began her epic work studying chimpanzees in the Gombe forest without even a college degree. The science she proceeded to do recalled modern western science to the fact that we are a part of nature, not separate from it. She spent the last decades of her life on the road, often with the young, tending to human fear and misunderstanding. In this beautiful conversation from pandemic lockdown, she shared the moral and spiritual wisdom that emerged in her extraordinary life — and the hope that, to the end, sustained her.Jane Goodall was the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and its youth program, Roots & Shoots. She has been the subject of many films and documentaries, including “Jane Goodall: The Hope.” Her many books include In the Shadow of Man, Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey, and most recently, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times. Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.This show originally aired in August, 2020.

In 1995, there was a landmark meeting on gender equality in Beijing: the Fourth World Conference on Women. The conference produced the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a highly influential blueprint for advancing women's rights. It was at this conference that then–First Lady Hillary Clinton famously declared, “Human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights, once and for all.” Last week, at the United Nations General Assembly, there was a 30-year commemoration of this landmark conference, which has become a touchstone for advocates around the world — particularly from civil society. Today, I'm joined by two of those advocates: Bani Dugal and Liliane Nkunzimana, representatives of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations. They explain why the conference 30 years ago was so significant, how it continues to influence debates on gender equality today, and how to keep advancing gender equality in a profoundly different geopolitical context three decades on. This episode is produced in partnership with the Baha'i International Community, an NGO that represents the worldwide Baha'i community at the UN and other international forums, where it emphasizes that recognizing humanity's interconnectedness is key to a shared global future. The Baha'i International Community recently released the book "In Full Partnership: Thirty Years of Women's Advancement at the United Nations and Beyond, " which honors 30 years since the landmark Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and the creation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. You can find the book at BIC.org.

In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Joe Pine, Dave Norton, and Aransas Savas discuss their recent experiences at the Arival Conference and The Collaboratives, focusing on the evolving landscape of travel experiences and the impact of AI on search and social proof. They emphasize the importance of human connection in the age of AI, the significance of time well spent, and the necessity for companies to have a distinct point of view to thrive in a competitive market. Takeaways AI searches are five times longer than traditional searches. Web crawlers for AI tools are limited and slow. Search can be considered an experience in itself. The importance of social proof is increasing in search results. Human connection is essential in the age of AI. A good tour guide can significantly enhance the experience. Companies must have a unique point of view to survive. The concept of time well spent is crucial for success. Sameness in offerings will be a challenge for businesses. Continuous learning and adaptation are vital for experience strategists.

Blake and David examine the growing threat of AI-generated fake receipts, with 32% of accountants unable to recognize fraudulent documents and 30% reporting an increase in fraud since last year. They also discuss the concerning decline in entry-level auditor positions (down 43% since January) as firms adopt AI automation, while nearly half of accounts payable professionals now fear layoffs and also explore the concept of "work slop"—low-quality AI-generated work costing businesses nearly $200 per employee monthly—and debate whether firms should require clients to use standardized technology stacks, with only 37% currently doing so.

“We don't want to put all of our safety eggs in one basket called work.”In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession traces how workplace expectations ballooned from pay and safety to culture fit, values alignment, and even mental health, blurring identity and fueling burnout. She recounts the historical moments that nudged business into roles it was never designed to carry and explains why offloading our identity to work creates dependency and fear. Rebecca offers a reset: reclaim intrinsic motivation, diversify your sources of safety and belonging, and lead in ways that are deeply human without trying to be everything.In this episode, you'll learn:How decades of “scope creep” (from the 1900s to the 2020s' COVID) turned work into an identity stand-in, and why that drives burnoutWays to rebuild from the inside out: intrinsic motivation, self-respect, and non-work sources of safety, belonging, and meaningPractical language and boundary shifts for leaders and teams (e.g. “great team” vs. “family”)Things to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:43) How workplace expectations have changed(03:32) Work's influence on personal identity(05:55) Consequences of relying too much on work(08:21) Reclaiming our lives and identities(11:47) Questions to ask yourself when  expectations are too muchConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

Stop and ponder for a moment.Is it possible that everything you thought was keeping you “safe” was actually keeping you small?We often look to resolve our issues through self-help books, seminars, and courses. But if they really worked, we'd all be perfectly fit, deliriously happy, worry-free millionaires! No, we need to dig deeper.Angie Tumlinson's story is a roadmap on how to find that higher level of fulfullment.She grew up with the values of hard work, perfectionism, and fear-driven faith—beliefs that shaped, then nearly broke, her life. From running a booming church to walking away from it all, from building businesses out of sheer grit (and $27 in her pocket) to discovering the power of belief and imagination, Angie's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical self-discovery.Then came the devastating losses of both parents, the identity crisis that followed, and the unexpected mentor (a name you might know!) who appeared just when she needed him most. Along the way, Angie learned the difference between “need” and “want,” how to let go of old paradigms, and why most of us are terrified to admit what we truly desire.When Angie finally allowed herself to envision the life she really wanted, something extraordinary happened—her income multiplied tenfold, her relationships transformed, and her voice grew stronger than ever.So how did she go from exhausted pastor's wife and overworked business owner to creating abundance, freedom, and authenticity on her own terms? And what powerful lesson did she learn about love, control, and partnership that changed her marriage forever?Tune in and find out…Angie's hype song is “Can't Stop The Feeling” by Justin Timberlake.Resources:Angie Tumlinson's website: https://www.elevateyouinstitute.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/angietumlinsoncoach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angietumlinsonWatch Angie's webinar, “Go For It”, and discover priceless insights that help you start living the life you dream about at https://www.elevateyouinstitute.com/go-for-it Invitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.That's where I come in. Forward thinking companies are hiring me to produce internal podcasts. To bring leadership and employees together through authentic stories, real conversations, and meaningful connections. Think of it as your old-school printed company newsletter - reinvented for the modern workforce. I KNOW, what a cool idea, right?! If you run, work for, or know of a company that wants to upgrade communication,...

In 1987, a 911 call from a Philadelphia payphone led police to a row house on North Marshall Street—and to horrors they could barely comprehend. Women chained in a basement. Human remains in the freezer. A pot boiling on the stove. At the center of it all was Gary Heidnik, a preacher and self-styled investor whose neighbors thought he was eccentric but harmless. In this episode, we unravel Heidnik's disturbing childhood, his twisted church, the pit in his basement, and the crimes that made him one of the most notorious killers in American history.

They talk about the question of the role of the monster in literature in modernity versus its historical interpretation. Understanding the form of the Gothic novel and the time period in which this book was written are important aspects of approaching Dracula.  Keep listening next week for more about how to read this book.
