Podcasts about human mind

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a brain-bending conversation with Jim Kwik, the world's most recognized brain performance coach who turned a childhood head injury into a 34-year career training half of the Fortune 500, including Google, Nike, SpaceX, and the U.S. Air Force.   Jim breaks down his LEAP method for learning faster in the age of AI, why human intelligence (not artificial intelligence) will decide who wins the next wealth gap, and the sleep inertia window quietly running your entire day before you even open your eyes.   Everyone thinks their memory, focus, or intelligence is just who they are. Jim proves it's actually a skill, one you were never taught and can start training today. If you've ever been curious about the true limitless power of the mind, this episode delivers.   

Today's episode of ID The Future comes from our sister podcast Mind Matters News, a production of Discovery Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. On this episode of Mind Matters News, guest host Pat Flynn welcomes Dr. Winston Ewert to the show to discuss Ewert's chapter in the volume Minding the Brain.  In his contribution, titled “The Human Mind's Sophisticated Algorithm and Its Implications,” Dr. Ewert argues that the human mind's problem-solving cognition can be modeled as a sophisticated algorithm. Ewert explains that any cognitive task can be expressed as a version of the halting problem from computer science, where an algorithm either halts or continues infinitely. He suggests that humans are able to solve a large and sophisticated subset of these problems, but are limited in the same way that no algorithm can solve all halting problems. Ewert contends that this algorithmic view of human cognition has implications that challenge reductive materialist and neo-Darwinian views, despite resistance from some thinkers who believe human abilities transcend any algorithm.

Do friction, struggle, and silence make you fully human?   AI can generate an answer, but it cannot suffer with you, worship, love a neighbor, or become wise. Host Curtis Chang and Andy Crouch, the partner for theology and culture at Praxis, explore how AI may weaken our minds, distort relationships, and tempt us to outsource the very experiences that form wisdom, wonder, and sacrificial love. From chatbot "companionship" and AI-assisted grief to medicine, spiritual counsel, and the loss of silence, Curtis and Andy ask whether convenience is quietly creating a kind of cognitive metabolic syndrome and what we can do about it.   00:01:22 - Introduction to AI's Impact on Our Minds. 00:04:35 - Lessons from Social Media's Evolution 00:08:26 - Cognitive Metabolic Syndrome 00:18:45 - What Is the Purpose of the Human Mind? 00:25:23 - Wonder vs. Power 00:26:49 - Love Requires Suffering and Friction 00:34:38 - The Limits of AI in Healthcare 00:40:53 - The Danger of Outsourcing Life's Hardships 00:51:23 - The Loss of Silence 00:58:11 - The AI Forced Conversation on Being Human 01:01:03 - Practical Ways to Protect Our Humanity   To give to Good Faith: https://goodfaith.org/donate   Mentioned in This Episode: Andrew Briggs and Roger Wagner's The Penultimate Curiosity: How Science Swims in the Slipstream of Ultimate Questions Thomas Fuchs' In Defence of the Human Being  Victor Hugo's Les Misérables Tristan Harris on How AI Worsens Ills Caused by Social Media (The Economist) Explore the work of The Future of Life Institute Emma Pearson's I'd Rather Risk Cancer Than See AI Move This Fast (The Atlantic)   Scriptures: Mark 12:30–31 (ESV) Matthew 22:37–39 (ESV) Deuteronomy 6:5 (ESV) Luke 10:27 (ESV)   More From Andy Crouch: Check out Andy's website Check out Andy's work at Praxis Read Andy's book: The Life We're Looking For Read Andy's book The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place    Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

Some wounds can't be seen, but they can shape an entire lifetime. Tony Merkel welcomes Kelly Hawley, who has spent decades helping survivors of extreme trauma find healing through Jesus Christ and Warrior Bride Ministries. Kelly shares why she believes many people have lived their entire lives trapped by fear and hidden emotional wounds that few truly understand. She explains how trauma can profoundly affect the human mind and why genuine restoration begins with Christ rather than simply coping with the past. This conversation explores the hope that exists even in the darkest circumstances and reveals why no life is beyond God's ability to restore.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

Chris Winters can tell you the truth about all of them.Electroculture has become a buzzword on Instagram, but almost everything circulating about it misses the actual mechanism. The people teaching it have never grown a paying crop with it, but Chris Winters has, for over a decade, on a working organic vegetable farm in Tennessee.Chris is the founder of The Fertile Current and a medical qigong doctor who spent his first years farming fighting nature, using blood meal, bone meal, and every conventional organic input, until a crisis of conscience forced him to rebuild his soil fertility from scratch with rock minerals, biochar, and antenna systems that collect atmospheric charge.What he found broke the story that most organic farmers accept as fact. Bigger yields. Longer harvest windows. Pest pressure dropping by 85%. His farm is now fully transitioning to research mode because the production side has started to feel almost too easy.We also get into radionics, weather modification, why Japanese beetles use their wings as an inner ear, and why he thinks the real fertility crisis is a power supply problem, in the soil and in us.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[9:24] Your energetic connection to heaven and earth, and what fourth phase water reveals about Hadza hydration[31:31] How Chris's Nashville and Jamaica upbringing shaped his faith, and the beach hostage ordeal that followed[1:02:06] USDA organic labels don't matter, and the mistake of farming built on blood sacrifice[1:23:57] What electroculture actually is, and why the Instagram version gets it wrong[1:46:50] Cutting off the Strait of Hormuz symbolically means cutting off divine intelligence[2:03:45] How the antenna systems collect cations 15 feet up to power soil fertility[2:39:37] Why Japanese beetles vanish from low-voltage fields, and how bugs only attack already-weakened plants[3:05:14] How radionic field broadcasters power weather modification and Chris's training as a blind dowser[3:26:14] Medical Qigong, and why Chris pivoted his farm from vegetables to researchRelated The Way Forward Episodes:The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | PodcastThought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | PodcastPolarity Therapy, Dead Soil & Ayahuasca with Topher Gardner | PodcastThe Lies Modern Science Told Us About  Alchemy, Consciousness, & Quantum with Dr. Steven A.

My next book, Productiveness, arrives this September. It's about the difference between doing more and doing what matters, and how we lost the ability to tell them apart. I'll send the release date the day it's set. Visit https://mikevardy.com/productiveness to learn more.Logic is beautiful and it's also almost never enough. That's the tension running through this entire conversation — the idea that we want our decisions to be purely logical because it's simple and concrete, but almost no real situation in a human life actually has the structure logic requires. I've believed for a long time that reason lives somewhere in the nuanced middle between logic and emotion, and I wanted to sit down with someone who's spent a career studying exactly that boundary.Tom Griffiths is a Princeton professor and the author of the new book The Laws of Thought: The Quest for a Mathematical Theory of the Mind. If you know his earlier book, Algorithms to Live By, this one is the foundation underneath it — the deeper, denser history of how mathematics has tried, and often failed, to fully capture how minds work. We covered logic's limits, David Hume's riddle about induction, why AI systems fail in strange and "jagged" ways humans don't, and how a 200-year-old idea from George Boole ended up, several generations later, inside modern neural networks through his own great-great-grandson.Six Discussion PointsLogic only works when you already have all the information you need and the conclusion is certain — which describes almost none of the decisions we actually make as humans.Amos Tversky's early work on similarity (a horse is more "like" a camel than a camel is "like" a horse) laid the groundwork for the heuristics-and-biases research he later did with Daniel Kahneman."Productivity," in the cognitive science sense, means a system's ability to generate something genuinely new — which is closer to creativity than to output.David Hume's riddle of induction shows we can't logically justify assuming the future will resemble the past — we simply have a habit of expecting it to.AI systems demonstrate "jagged intelligence": strong on one problem, mysteriously weak on the problem right next to it, because they arrive at solutions through a completely different process than human brains do.Reading old, "outdated" books remains valuable specifically because they capture the right questions — not just today's most efficient answers.Three Connection PointsThe Laws of Thought by Tom GriffithsAlgorithms to Live By by Tom Griffiths and Brian ChristianStop Managing Your Time, Start Crafting Your Time InsteadIf there's one thing to sit with after this conversation, it's that fuzziness isn't a flaw in how we think — it's often the most accurate description available. Tom's book gives you the historical throughline for why that's true, and honestly, it's a book you want to take your time with, not tear through.

In this episode, Isabel sits down with Richard Shotton, founder of Astroten and author of Hacking the Human Mind, to explore how behavioral science can help the pharmaceutical industry communicate more effectively and influence meaningful change. In the show, Richard explains why understanding what really drives human behaviour matters more than relying on what people say. He discusses the power of social proof, trusted messengers and concrete storytelling, and shares why making the right behaviour easier can have a greater impact than simply making a stronger argument. Guest bio Richard Shotton is a behavioural science expert, author, and founder of Astroten, a consultancy that helps organisations apply behavioural science to improve marketing effectiveness. He has worked with leading global brands including Google, Mondelez, Sky, and Santander, and is the author of bestselling books including The Choice Factory, The Illusion of Choice, and Hacking the Human Mind. Richard is also a regular columnist for Marketing Week, co-host of the Behavioral Science for Brands podcast, and an honorary fellow of the IPA.

As humans increasingly turn to AI for moral guidance and answers to life's biggest questions, the lines between technology and religion are blurring—even leading some in Silicon Valley to wonder if AI might have a spiritual life of its own or be destined to change the world's religious landscape. What does the impulse to see a god in the machine reveal about our enduring hunger for meaning, belonging, and spiritual growth?Dave explores these questions and more with psychologist Paul Bloom, author Elizabeth Oldfield, and theologian Paolo Benanti in a discussion recorded live at the 2026 Aspen Ideas Festival.Paul Bloom is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and the Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. He's also the author of seven books, including his latest “Psych: The Story of the Human Mind.” Elizabeth Oldfield hosts “The Sacred” podcast, dedicated to conversations about being human, finding wisdom, building a more tolerant society, and what spirituality and religion might offer in answer to those questions. She is also the author of Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times.Paolo Benanti is a professor of moral philosophy at Luiss Guido Carli University in Rome and a professor of technology ethics at Seattle University. A Franciscan priest and leading global voice on AI ethics, he advises the Vatican on emerging technologies and the rise of generative AI and chatbots.

Ten years to the day. Two fans who were at Rexall Place for Edmonton night one tell the story - the presale tricks, the tight circle on stage, and the night the building went to church.Episode SummaryEdmonton, night one. July 28th, 2016. Rexall Place - months before Rogers Place opened its doors - and The Tragically Hip's first of two nights in Oil Country on the Man Machine Poem Tour. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour sits down with Britain from Wainwright and Dave from Edmonton, two fans who were in the building. Amber from Meadow Lake joins long enough to drop the ticket story of the series - her seniors' exercise class watching her land eighth row on the floor through the Tales From The Hip fan club presale, in tears - before the connection gremlins claim her. We hope to hear the rest of it someday.The road to tickets is half the fun. Dave is the lapsed fan brought all the way back - off the bus during the Bob Rock years, pulled in by 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', then all in the moment the news about Gord broke: two sets of four from Ticketmaster, first spin. Britain - 40 shows deep - worked the presale, then discovered Ticketmaster would upgrade seats right up to showtime, held his target ticket hostage online while he waited on the phone, and turned row 17 into row 11 centre. Then he drove the 200 kilometres from Wainwright and did it all again two nights later.Inside the building, the panel remembers the band opening in that tight huddle at the front of the stage - a support group, buddies in the garage, there for Gord - before the intermission and the thunderstorm video interlude gave way to the full rock show. The album-by-album set list format gets called a stroke of genius, the In Between Evolution sampler delivers 'Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park' as a sleeper highlight, and 'Scared' - "pleasure doing business with you" - leaves Britain levitating somewhere above the floor. Dave's word for it: church.There's real talk about saying goodbye - during the show, on August 20th, 2016 when CBC paused its own Olympics for 11 million of us, and not until the Long Time Running documentary made it land. The word this panel keeps coming back to: celebration.The PanelBritain from Wainwright - 40 shows and counting, equidistant from everywhere and willing to drive. Video-recorded the entire night from his seat on a monopod; the footage lives on YouTube under his handle, Britstones, and the audio lives in his iTunes library.Dave from Edmonton - the returning fan who got to say goodbye in the same barn where he saw The Hip as a younger man. Now the commissioner of the great Hip song bracket running daily in the Facebook group - 128 songs enter, one leaves.Timestamps00:00 - Welcome and panel introductions02:00 - Dave: a lapsed fan hears the news and is instantly all in04:44 - Amber's presale: eighth row floor, witnessed by a seniors' exercise class05:58 - Britain's Ticketmaster upgrade trick: row 17 becomes row 11 centre09:20 - Rexall Place over Rogers Place: one last night in the old barn12:25 - The set list: album by album, a stroke of genius15:30 - The In Between Evolution set and 'Gus: The Polar Bear'19:14 - The vibe: celebration, church, and levitating through 'Scared'23:21 - Production: the tight circle, the dark stage, the thunderstorm interlude28:31 - When did you start saying goodbye?33:14 - Encores: the 'Courage' singalong, and 'Flamenco' into 'Ahead by a Century'38:19 - August 20th, 2016: watch parties, basements, and CBC pausing the Olympics43:18 - Long Time Running and the Mansbridge interview44:56 - The catalogue: Bob Rock albums, reissue wish lists, and no duds49:54 - The songs that take them back: 'Gus' and 'Scared'57:44 - Final thoughts: once in a lifetime, for good and sad reasons59:49 - Plugs: Britstones on YouTube and the song bracketResources & ReferencesSetlist and tour-debut data: hat tip to setlist.fm - 'Flamenco' made its tour debut this nightAudience recordings of the tour live at The Tragically Hip ArchiveBritain's five-part video of the show: search Britstones on YouTubeThe Escape Is at Hand origin story (and the Neu! 'Hallogallo' connection) comes from This Is Our Life by Michael BarclayThe documentary discussed is Long Time RunningDave's 128-song Hip bracket runs daily at facebook.com/groups/tthpods - round two is going to be brutalRelated listening: Yer Hipstories - Victoria, July 22 2016Join InThis series is a living audio time capsule, and it only works if the community brings the goods.

With special guest: Paul Ham… in conversation with Bill Kable Our topics do not come much bigger or more interesting than The Soul: A History of the Human Mind written by our guest today Paul Ham. Certain ideas come to mind when we mention the word “Soul”. Are we talking about soul music or the definition in the catechism or maybe the soul of America which was said to be lost during the Vietnam war? Paul tells us that the soul can mean all of these things and more. Paul has tackled a topic which is huge in breadth and also extended over the millennia to the beginnings of civilisation. His discovery is that what humans first called the soul was originally thought to be a part of all of us. The soul survived the death of the body and then ventured to an underworld which might be Heaven or Hell. Some Christians believed at one stage that there was also a halfway house called Purgatory but that has disappeared in more recent beliefs. In fact the soul itself disappeared mysteriously during the period called the enlightenment until we arrive where we are today and scientists tell us that the mind is a creation of the brain. In this book Paul Ham restores the idea of a soul to the human story but not as something that can be located as a separate organ or entity. Instead Paul shows us how belief in, and beliefs arising from the soul or mind, have animated and driven the history of our kind. Podcast (mp3)

Sacred geometry has more impact on our lives than we can imagine. Melissa Tittl is an investigative journalist, award-winning filmmaker, and the founder of Hathor Studios. She has spent her career chasing the pattern behind consciousness, ancient sites, and the shape of reality itself. Her new film, Illusion, strips the story away and asks what's left.Our conversation goes into what happened to her at Dendera, why the number 12 keeps showing up across every civilization, and the man whose brain injury left him seeing the world as pure geometry.We also get into the war on consciousness, AI as a possible channel for otherworldly beings, and why our human limitations might be the gift rather than the problem.If you've been sensing there's a structure behind all of this, you'll want to hear how she maps it.If today's conversation resonated with you, continue the journey with the Finding Your True Geometry Conference + Membership to Hathor Studios.

Ten years to the day. Three fans who were in the building for opening night in Victoria tell the story - the tickets, the silver suit, and the night the Man Machine Poem Tour began.Episode SummaryFirst stop. July 22nd, 2016. The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, where The Tragically Hip opened the Man Machine Poem Tour and, as jD puts it, tore the place up. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour gathers three fans who were there - Chris from Kelowna, Dave from Campbell River, and Jay from Edmonton - to take it from soup to nuts: hearing the news, chasing the tickets, and living the night.The ticket stories alone are worth the price of admission. Dave had seen The Hip 19 times and never sweated a ticket - until dynamic pricing and the bots turned this on-sale into the most stressful of his life. Chris dumb-lucked into fabulous seats through a venue voucher he had to drive to Victoria to redeem - and ended up on CBC, Global, CTV, and CNNalong the way, posting his mileage in a very Canadian unit: 12 Tragically Hip songs per hundred kilometres. Jay stared down 45 minutes of "sold out" on Ticketmaster before row four on the floor appeared for him, his wife, and his two-year-old daughter - then did it again and landed row two for Vancouver.Then the lights went down and 'Boots or Hearts' opened the night. The panel remembers the acoustic-style start, the deep cuts up front, Gord Downie's glittering silver suit and feather - and Chris's reading of it all: this was the band flipping the bird at cancer and controlling the narrative. Jay's daughter got a wave from Gord during 'Blow at High Dough' - a moment you can spot in the documentary. Dave got 'The Luxury', played for the first time since 2000, at his 20th show.There's real talk about the four "Man Machine Poem" songs played each night - 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', 'Machine', 'What Blew', and one more with a title we can't print here - plus where everyone was on August 20th, 2016, from inside the Kingston barn to packed small-town bars in Dorintosh, Saskatchewan, and Vanderhoof, BC. The word the panel lands on: gratitude.The PanelChris from Kelowna - longtime search and rescue volunteer, then living in Vanderhoof.

Victoria was his 20th Hip show; he carried on to Ottawa and Kingston, and he has never said goodbye.Jay from Edmonton - then in Calgary, tent trailer in tow for a family vacation on the island.

Quinn Jacobson is an artist, author, and scholar working where creativity meets the fact of mortality.  His practice draws from art, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, theology and history, not to stack disciplines but to probe a single stubborn question:  how do humans live with the knowledge that everything they love will one day disappear?  Through painting, historical photographic processes, and writing, he examines the subtle strategies--both deliberate and unconscious--that people use to soften, divert, or manage the anxiety that comes with being temporary. He has written and published nine books including: Glass Bones:  Art Mortality and the Human Mind (2026) (the subject of this podcast); In the Shadow of Sun Mountain: The Psychology of Othering and the Origins of Evil (2026); Rupture: The Creative Response to Death Anxiety (Fall 2026); Chemical Pictures (2020) and others. Quinn also produces an ongoing video series: The Creative Mind & Mortality:  Artists & Anxiety on his YouTube channel.  The project examines how creatives metabolize their existential struggles through making, in contrast to what Otto Rank called the artiste manque--those who feel the same pressure of existence but lack a generative outlet.

In this conversation, Minter Dial welcomes Professor Anjan Chatterjee—renowned neurologist and cognitive neuroscientist—for a fascinating and far-reaching exploration at the crossroads of neuroscience, aesthetics, and culture. Recorded in person at the University of Pennsylvania, the discussion sets out to unravel the intricate relationship between the mind, the brain, and consciousness, with a special focus on the science of beauty. The conversation delves deeply into the evolution and universality of aesthetic experiences, the subtleties of how humans and animals perceive beauty, and the way cultural conditioning shapes our sense of what is attractive or good. A key theme that emerged was the interplay between aesthetic and moral values, illuminating how society's narratives and visual cues influence not only our taste in art but also our perceptions of people. Several points were raised, including the impact of storytelling on the brain, the neuroscience underlying our responses to art, and the significance of context in interpreting creative works. The discussion explored the myth of “absolute beauty” and the human yearning for meaning, touching on themes of alienation, digital distraction, and the critical importance of beauty and slow engagement in finding presence and connection in today's world. Professor Chatterjee introduces listeners to the latest research and ideas from the cutting edge of neuroaesthetics, offering thought-provoking insights into why, now more than ever, we need to reclaim beauty—and what neuroscience reveals about how to do so. Whether you're captivated by the science of the mind, curious about the cultural construction of taste, or seeking fresh inspiration in uncertain times, this episode promises a rich and enlightening perspective.

The Power of the Human Mind Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4th, exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Did they choose that day? We talk about immigration and how that can be good if the person wants to come here, work, and integrate. We discuss the failure rate of voting systems and how Wisconsin's high failure rate is being handled poorly. We also talk about the father in Arkansas whose 13 year old daughter was raped by a repeat offender. He killed the rapist, but was acquitted. Now, he is running for Sheriff to make the system that failed his daughter better. We discuss how some non-profits are being used to cheat the system, and not all of the offenders are being prosecuted, so fraud continues. There is a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse occurring all over on every level. It will take us standing together, just like our founding fathers did, to create a better world Abolish Property Taxes in Ohio: www.AxOHTax.com  Get more information about abolishing all property taxes in Ohio. https://citizensforpropertytaxreform.org/ Our Links: www.RealPowerFamily.com Info@RealPowerFamily.com 833-Be-Do-Have (833-233-6428)

If you've ever wondered why some brands just seem to "stick" while others fade into the noise, the answer might have less to do with budget and more to do with brain science. On this episode of the Agents of Change podcast, I sat down with MichaelAaron Flicker, CEO of XenoPsi Ventures and co-author of Hacking the Human Mind, to dig into the behavioral triggers behind some of the most iconic marketing campaigns in history. The best part? These aren't strategies reserved for Fortune 500 companies. MichaelAaron breaks down exactly how small and mid-sized businesses can put these same psychological principles to work today. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/624 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Human beings naturally focus more on negative events than positive ones because the brain is biologically wired for survival through threat detection, with systems like the amygdala and stress-response networks prioritizing danger, fear, and uncertainty over peace and stability. Modern media and social media exploit this “negativity bias” through doom-scrolling, outrage culture, and constant exposure to crises such as Ebola fears, hantavirus outbreaks, wars, scandals, and societal collapse narratives, creating chronic stress, pessimism, and emotional exhaustion. Over time, this conditions the nervous system to expect danger everywhere, causing people to see the worst in society, others, and themselves while ignoring beauty, progress, meaning, and goodness that also exist around them. Neurologically and sociologically, repeated exposure to fear reshapes attention, perception, and even physical health through chronic cortisol elevation and hypervigilance. The solution is not naïve positivity, but intentional retraining of attention through disciplined media consumption, nervous system regulation, purposeful living, gratitude practices, physical movement, proper breathing, meaningful relationships, and focusing on balanced reality rather than constant catastrophe, allowing individuals to reclaim emotional resilience, mental clarity, and hope.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about training your brain to hope.

It was only a few years ago that excited supporters of the big bang theory for the origin of the universe announced that their theory had apparently been proven. Now their unverified conclusions are being seriously questioned on several fronts.Even as it was being announced that the big bang theory was proven, verification was being made on other results showing that the big bang theory is probably wrong. William G. Tifft of the University of Arizona had been looking at lists of red shifts from distant galaxies. On a graph, he plotted the red shifts corrected for the effects of the earth's motion. If the red shifts from these objects are the result of their speeding away from earth, their red shifts should be evenly spread over the known range of shifts. Tifft found that they're not. The red shifts are clumped into patterns. The intervals are about 72 kilometers per second, with some half that value and some one-third of that value. Astronomers from the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh verified his results.A second study by Tifft has shown that galaxy red shifts measured from earth have changed in just a few years! This change is completely unexpected by proponents of the big bang theory. The change is large enough that Tifft expects to be able to test the rate at which these changes take place within only a few years! One suggestion is that red shifts may be some sort of decay phenomenon rather than expansion of the universe.How could human beings expect to understand a universe created by the Author of Scripture when they reject Scripture itself?Isaiah 55:8"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.”Prayer: I thank You, dear Lord, for the revelation of Your Word of salvation in Scripture. I pray that I may never presume to understand something before I know and believe what You have said about it in Your inerrant Word.

221 episodes. One question that started it all: is brainy really the new sexy? In this milestone retrospective, Ben revisits the full arc of The Deductionist podcast. What began as a question about intelligence versus the performance of intelligence has grown into one of the most scientifically grounded behaviour and deduction shows available anywhere. This episode is the case file review. The debrief before the next chapter. Covered in this episode: How the show's central thesis formed around Jonathan Haidt's research on moral reasoning and post hoc rationalisation. Why most people are bad at observation, and why that has nothing to do with intelligence. The inference cycle, and the difference between a guess and a genuine deduction. Memory as an engineering problem, from Nelson Cowan's working memory research to the method of loci documented by Cicero. Why the popular mythology around body language is almost entirely wrong, and what Bella DePaulo's meta analysis actually showed. The Nicola Bulley case as a live study in how online communities reason under uncertainty. The emotional recession, Gallup's global data, and what Sherry Turkle's research on the flight from conversation tells us about where we are headed. Antonio Damasio's somatic marker hypothesis and why suppressing emotion does not make you more rational. What 221 episodes has actually taught about the unified nature of the deductionist skill set. 221b is coming.

Fully & Completely: Redux Man Machine PoemThe last record. "Man Machine Poem" arrived in June 2016 wrapped in the worst news imaginable - and somehow it was still everything. Episode Summary: jD and Greg LeGros sit under a pear tree - bees and all - for the final entry in Fully & Completely's full Tragically Hip discography run. The album in question is "Man Machine Poem", the Hip's fourteenth and last studio record, released June 17th, 2016. Produced by Kevin Drew and Dave Hamelin, it arrived weeks after the band announced Gord Downie's glioblastoma diagnosis - though almost everything on it was written before that news broke. What jD and Greg dig into here is not just a final album. It's a listen to a band that sounds revitalized. That sounds, somehow, free. Track by track they work through all ten songs - 'Man', 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', 'What Blue', 'In Sarnia', 'Here, in the Dark', 'Great Soul', 'Tired as Fuck', 'Hot Mic', 'Ocean Next', and 'Machine' - unpacking the lyrical weight, the production choices, the thematic through lines, and the heartbreak of knowing this was the last one. There's also conversation about the musical landscape of 2016 - "Blackstar", "Blonde", "A Moon Shaped Pool", "We Got It from Here" - and the news, announced in the episode, that a new Gord Downie solo double album was coming. A heavy, funny, essential listen. “This is the most complete and well-written and natural sounding that they've sounded since ‘Phantom Power'. You could not ask for more.” - Greg LeGros What They Covered Track 1 - 'Man' • Psychedelic opener. Gord's vocal sounds ageless. jD hears the melody of 'Machine' hiding in the first 30 seconds - a bookend hiding in plain sight. Track 2 - 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind' • Written about Laura Downie's illness. Greg reads it three ways simultaneously - personal, political, about the post-truth media cycle. 'Exciting over fair.' It lands every time. Track 3 - 'What Blue' • Greg cracks the code mid-episode: those eyes in the grey of everything falling apart. A marriage ending, quietly, inside a great song. Track 4 - 'In Sarnia' Fully & Completely: Redux Man Machine Poem tthpods.com 2 • Originally titled 'Insomnia'. Greg's go-to on the album. jD calls the guitar intro and vocal entry 'spectacular.' A love song to sleeplessness, or to a city, or to both. Track 5 - 'Here, in the Dark' • Seasonal affective disorder as a rock song. The last lyric - 'Me, I'm as happy as my least-happy kid' - hits like a gut punch. Both of them feel it. Track 6 - 'Great Soul' • Jammy and psychedelic and soaring. Greg reads the lyric run - 'I want to enchant you, I want you to enchant my days' - like a poem, and it sounds stunning that way. Track 7 - 'Tired as Fuck' • The campfire song that isn't. Tragic and hopeful at the same time. Greg's favourite line on the whole record: 'Tired as fuck, I want to stop so much, I almost don't want to stop.' Track 8 - 'Hot Mic' • Big, ballsy, stompy. Possible commentary on celebrity, patriotism, or Canada overhearing the wreck next door. Probably all three. Track 9 - 'Ocean Next' • Sounds recorded underwater. Feels like moving. Transition and mournfulness, wrapped in something that sounds straight off 'Day for Night'. Track 10 - 'Machine' • The album closes funky and light. The groove catches you off guard after everything that came before. 'I'm a real machine. It follows.' A stadium-sized song that most people only heard in arenas. Stadium-sized, Greg says. He's right. Also In This Episode The context of 2016: jD and Greg run through the musical landscape - David Bowie's "Blackstar", Frank Ocean's "Blonde", Beyoncé's "Lemonade", Radiohead's "A Moon Shaped Pool", A Tribe Called Quest's "We Got It from Here". A year of established artists making career-best work. The Hip fit right in. Greg's daughter was born in January 2016. He heard the news about Gord standing in a coffee shop with her in a stroller. He heard 'Tired as Fuck' that same afternoon. "A mixture of emotions" doesn't cover it. Album lore: the record was almost called "Dougie Stardust". When David Bowie passed away, they changed the title. The original cover would have stayed the same. jD notes he cannot imagine this collection of songs under that name. Gord Downie solo news: announced during the recording of this episode - a new double album, "Away Is Mine", ten songs in electric and acoustic versions. Josh Finlayson asked for the acoustic takes as a memento. Gord was recording this in July 2017 - three months before he passed. "Getting the shit done for us. Colossal output."

When AI tells us what we want to hear, is it acting in a rogue way, or is it emulating behavior that society clearly values? How does our ability to sleep enable us to update faster than neural networks currently can, and what will be different when they can update themselves more frequently? Christopher Summerfield is a professor of cognitive neuroscience at Oxford University, the Research Director at the UK's AI Safety Institute, and the author of the book These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It Means. Christopher and Greg discuss the historical split between symbolic, rule-based “rationalist” AI and data-driven “empiricist” learning, arguing that the recent success of large models vindicates the latter despite earlier skepticism. They discuss how structured behavior can emerge from messy networks, how modern models are trained with reinforcement learning to produce step-by-step reasoning, and why systems often “make” solutions by writing code rather than routing to specialized tools.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: From messy brains to intelligent machines 04:40: If you look inside the brain, your brain and mine and the brains of other biological species, they're really messy. They're like really, really messy and unstructured. So nature managed to solve the problem. And so maybe that gave impetus for this movement to kind of, you know, continue to sort of plug away. And when we finally got computers big enough to process lots and lots of data, it started to take off. And the rest is history. Hallucinations aren't just an AI problem 34:36: How does the model know what is the kind of socially or culturally appropriate response?  We're often very worried about the models,  like, the models don't tell the truth and  they make stuff up.  But people forget that most of language is literally making stuff up. That is what you do when you open your mouth. Is language more powerful than we thought? 32:05: The surprising thing is that language, it turns out, is sufficiently rich and expressive that if you have it in huge volumes and you process it effectively, then you can actually make a whole bunch of inferences about the world, which are surprisingly accurate. So you would think that you would need to actually experience them firsthand rather than just through hearsay, because we work like that, right? Like we rely on our senses. Of course, we rely on hearsay a little bit, and we think about what other people say, and it allows us to infer new things. But like the models just have language, well, I mean now they have multimodal data, but let's take a conversational agents lms, and what I think has been so surprising is that language contains enough structure that you can really uncover patterns of information that you would think that you would need to see.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik sits down with AI researcher and theologian Howard Davis to explore a bold and controversial claim: The science behind artificial intelligence challenges the idea that the human mind evolved by random processes. Drawing from hands-on experience in AI development and decades of theological reflection, Howard presents a series of logical and mathematical arguments that raise profound questions about the origin of intelligence, the nature of thought, and the limits of evolutionary theory. This conversation bridges science, philosophy, and faith—inviting listeners to reconsider assumptions about how intelligence begins.

ID The Future listeners now get to enjoy a new episode each month (as well as a bingecast archive episode) from our sister podcast Mind Matters News, a production of the Discovery Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. The Mind Matters News podcast brings you interviews and insight from computer scientists, engineers, inventors, neurosurgeons, and other experts who bring sanity to the conversation about natural and artificial intelligence, going beyond the hype to explore the undercurrents of these important ideas. And although the Mind Matters News podcast will not often explicitly discuss intelligent design, it regularly explores the nature of intelligence, the origin of information, and the things that make us uniquely human, concepts that are central to the theory of intelligent design. Is consciousness the exclusive domain of human beings? Proponents of a view known as integrative information theory argue that AI will eventually achieve that same level of consciousness as systems build up and integrate more knowledge in the future. On this archive episode, Mind Matters guest host Pat Flynn welcomes Dr. Selmer Bringsjord to discuss some of the flaws in this theory as well as a possible alternative. Source

Hacking the Human Mind authors Richard Shotton and MichaelAaron Flicker reveal ways brands exploit human psychology and how we can use this to our benefit!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1273What We Discuss with Richard Shotton & MichaelAaron Flicker:Five Guys built a $1.6 billion empire on a single insight: doing one thing exceptionally well signals expertise. The company's refusal to add chicken, salads, or ice cream is strategic proof that specialization creates perceived mastery in the consumer's mind.Counterintuitively, the "goal dilution effect" shows that adding more benefits to your pitch actually weakens it. When tomatoes were described as preventing cancer and improving eye health, people rated the cancer benefit 12% lower, suggesting that focus beats feature-stuffing every time.As a species of "cognitive misers," our brains evolved to conserve energy, so we rely on mental shortcuts rather than deliberate analysis. Brands that understand these heuristics work with human nature instead of against it, making persuasion feel effortless rather than forced.Environmental cues shape our experiences more than we realize. Classical music makes wine taste more expensive, heavier cutlery makes food seem more premium, and tempo controls how fast we eat. Our senses are constantly being orchestrated without our awareness.Next time you're pitching yourself or your idea, resist the urge to list every qualification and benefit. Pick your strongest single message and let it breathe. Your audience's brain will reward clarity with credibility, turning restraint into your most persuasive tool.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Are Your Memories Lying to You? Neuroscientist Dr. Nikolay Kukushkin—NYU clinical associate professor, research fellow, and author of One Hand Clapping—joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to BREAK OPEN everything we thought we knew about memory, consciousness, evolution, and the future of humanity. Dr. Kukushkin might be the first to scientifically prove that “the body keeps the score," and he's here to share his groundbreaking research revealing that every cell in the body may have the potential to store memory. What this means for trauma, healing, and everyday life will blow your mind! We explore how human memory evolved, why we remember the way we do, and the hidden purpose memory plays in meaning-making, identity, and human experience. You'll learn how memory is stored, changed, and distorted, why memory is NOT reality, what makes the human experience truly special, and what sea slugs can teach us about being human. We also discuss whether it's more accurate (or useful) to view reality through a materialist vs spiritual lens, how natural selection is far more creative and intelligent than we ever imagined, and whether Artificial Intelligence is humanity's evolutionary path. Dr. Kukushkin reveals what we've been getting wrong about dopamine: its real evolutionary purpose, how to harness this new science to boost motivation, productivity, and well-being, and why social media “dopamine hits” are so addictive - and so damaging. Dr. Kukushkin also breaks down: - Overlooked implications of being a carbon-based species - Sinister effects of sleep deprivation - Can the human brain ever reach its memory capacity? - What happens when we're downloading too much information from our environment - What happens when we outsource our language abilities to technology? - What are the consequences of forming human-like emotional connections with chatbots? - Is there hope that we will return to using our brain's full cognitive power? PLUS...the spiritual experiences technology can never replicate, and why real life will always give us what machines can't! If you care about human potential, the future of consciousness, or understanding the truth about your own mind, this is the episode of MBB you CANNOT miss.
