Podcasts about Human nature

So much of our world today can be summed up in the cold logic of “if I don't, they will.” This is the foundation of game theory, which holds that cooperation and virtue are irrational; that all that matters is the race to make the most money, gain the most power, and play the winning hand. This way of thinking can feel inescapable, like a fundamental law of human nature. But our guest today, professor Sonja Amadae, argues that it doesn't have to be this way. That the logic of game theory is a human invention, a way of thinking that we've learned — and that we can unlearn.In this episode, Tristan and Aza explore the game theory dilemma — the idea that if I adopt game theory logic and you don't, you lose — with Dr. Sonja Amadae, a professor of Political Science at the University of Helsinki. She's also the director at the Center for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge and the author of “Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and the Neoliberal Economy.”The history of game theory as an inhumane technology stretches back to its WWII origins. But humans also cooperate, and we can break out of the rationality trap by daring to trust each other again. It's critical that we do, because AI is the ultimate agent of game theory and once it's fully entangled we might be permanently stuck in the game theory world.RECOMMENDED MEDIA“Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and the Neoliberal Economy” by Sonja Amadae (2015)The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk“Theory of Games and Economic Behavior” by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern (1944)Further reading on the importance of trust in FinlandFurther reading on Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of NeedsRAND's 2024 Report on Strategic Competition in the Age of AIFurther reading on Marshall Rosenberg and nonviolent communicationThe study on self/other overlap and AI alignment cited by AzaFurther reading on The Day After (1983) RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESAmerica and China Are Racing to Different AI FuturesThe Crisis That United Humanity—and Why It Matters for AILaughing at Power: A Troublemaker's Guide to Changing TechThe Race to Cooperation with David Sloan Wilson Clarifications:The proposal for a federal preemption on AI was enacted by President Trump on December 11, 2025, shortly after this recording. Aza said that "The Day After" was the most watched TV event in history when it aired.

Like you, I do not have time to sit down and read. Between building a company, travel, staying healthy, and family, quiet reading time is not realistic. But learning still matters.So this year I went all in on audiobooks. Gym. Sauna. Dog walks. Driving. Early mornings. Late nights. And I learned more than I have in years.In this solo foundation episode, I break down the books that shaped how I think about sales, marketing, leadership, money, psychology, and running a tighter dealership operation. For each book, I share what it gets right, a takeaway you can actually use, and how to apply it inside a dealership.Books covered in this episode:12 Rules for Life by Jordan B Peterson$100M Leads by Alex Hormozi$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi$100M Money Models by Alex HormoziCEO Excellence by Carolyn DewarBuy Back Your Time by Dan MartellTrust Me I'm Lying by Ryan HolidayThe Laws of Human Nature by Robert GreeneNever Split the Difference by Chris VossVelocity 2.0 by Dale PollakMagnetic Marketing by Dan KennedyExtreme Ownership by Jocko WillinkAtomic Habits by James ClearGood to Great by Jim CollinsHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieNext up on my 2026 list:The Goal by Eliyahu M GoldrattThe Advantage by Patrick LencioniCompeting in the Age of AI by Marco Iansiti and Karim R LakhaniThey Ask You Answer by Marcus SheridanTurn the Ship Around by L David MarquetLinks:Sponsor: ⁠dealers.motohunt.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry/⁠Check us out on Youtube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=eOzwfr1XoIzQdp9v

"It's not an emptiness or a void, it's actually full of possibility. And once I started to explore it, how they explained it, the Japanese concept is about when you listen to music, there's always space between the notes. And then if you apply that to a book or a page, there's always space between the words. So that space, that white space, another way of describing, it is necessary." Susan Ni Chriodain   David, Susanne and I come together for a wide-ranging conversation about liminal spaces - the spaces between words, seasons, endings and beginnings. We explore why these in-between moments matter, why we often rush to fill them, and what becomes possible when we allow pause, uncertainty and not-knowing. The conversation covers: seasons and transitions in life and in work endings that haven't fully ended listening, silence and the courage to say “I don't know” This episode is an invitation to notice what we usually overlook and to consider what might emerge when we willingly inhabit the space between. Dr Susanne Evans is an organisation change consultant, trainer, coach and researcher on a mission to change the way that transformations are managed in organisations. She founded Feldspar Consulting in 2007 to help her clients lead change in a more human, effective way.

[00:30] Is Human Nature Good? (55 minutes) The January-February 2026 Royal Vision issue is a special tribute to Herbert W. Armstrong, commemorating the 40th anniversary of his death. In a world where everyone believes they are good, why is there so much evil? Mr. Armstrong proclaimed the biblical answer to this paradox of human nature.

This is a holiday special re-airing of our excellent episode with Stephen Colbert. What could we gain—and what might we lose—when technology begins to approximate the contours of human connection and presence? In this episode, Reid and Aria chat with comedian, actor, and political commentator Stephen Colbert. Best known for hosting The Colbert Report and The Late Show, Stephen combines a razor sharp satire with a sincere curiosity about the world. Together, Reid, Aria, and Stephen discuss the art of live performance, the many lessons one can learn from J.R.R. Tolkien, and the nature of creativity, humor, and imagination in the age of AI. The result is a meditation on discovery, empathy, and the bonds that make connection more than performance — but a shared act of being human.

Deja Brew 16 celebrates the re-discussion of the two part series 3 story comprising “Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood” where Martha puts up with a whole bunch of crap whilst the Doctor cosplays being a love-struck human in love. Though sadly for Martha said human is not Martha. Sad face. Meanwhilst the B plot finds an alien family tortured for all eternity by the Doctor. I mean they had it coming with all the killings and stuff but our hero is supposed to be above such petty shite. Oh wait. I forgot which Doctor this is. Carry on...

Johannes Zachhuber and Anna Marmodoro, eds., Gregory of Nyssa: On the Hexaemeron: Text, Translation, and Essays (Oxford UP, 2025) This book presents Gregory of Nyssa's On the Six Days of Creation (In Hexaemeron) as a specimen of Early Christian philosophy. It comprises Gregory of Nyssa's text in its Greek original accompanied by a new English translation, and seven accompanying essays by international specialists from diverse backgrounds. Each essay focuses on a section of the text and the arising philosophical issues. The essays complement each other in offering multiple perspectives on how Gregory's text may be approached philosophically and positioned in relation to other, more or less contiguous, philosophical theories, including the early Greeks Anaxagoras and Empedocles, Aristotle, and the Stoics. Rather than presenting a definite and exhaustive state of the art study of Gregory's text, this volume aims to open new pathways for research into In Hexaemeron. New Books in Late Antiquity is presented by Ancient Jew Review Johannes Zachhuber is professor of historical and systematic theology at Oxford. His books include Human Nature in Greogry of Nyssa, The Rise of Christian Theology and the End of Ancient Metaphysics, and Time and the Soul: from Aristotle to Augustine. Anna Marmodoro is Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Professor of Philosophy at St. Louis University. She's written or edited half a dozen books including Metaphysics: an Introduction; Forms and Structures in Plato's Metaphysics; Aristotle on Perceiving Objects, and most recently she co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Omnipresence.

When was the last time you got yelled at by online influencer? Probably five minutes ago? Maybe, like us, you're tired of business advice that feels more like a pep rally than a real lesson. So why do so many online business gurus shout louder than they teach? And what you should actually pay attention to when building your business? This lesson is all about cutting through the noise.Omar breaks down why the world of online business gurus is full of extreme takes and empty promises, and what you need to focus on instead. You'll learn why attention and certainty drive so much of the content out there, why most “one‑size‑fits‑all” advice is just performance, and how to filter the real, actionable fundamentals from all the hype. He also shares what makes a true teacher versus a performer, the importance of asking better questions, and why success is more about steady progress than quick wins.Smash, no wait. Simply 'tap' that play button at the top of the page to get practical advice you can actually use and discover what really works.

ArtBeat w/ Donnabelle Casis & Jason Montgomery: Human Nature. by WHMP Radio

A conversation with Raissa von Doetinchem de Rande about her recent book, "The Politics of Islamic Ethics: Hierarchy and Human Nature in the Philosophical Tradition" (Cambridge UP).

Poet and essayist Carol Ann Davis (Fairfield University) joins Evan Rosa for a searching conversation on violence, childhood, and the moral discipline of attention in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. Reflecting on trauma, parenting, childhood, poetry, and faith, Davis resists tidy narratives and invites listeners to dwell with grief, healing, beauty, and pain without resolution.“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”In this episode, Davis reflects on how lived trauma narrows attention, reshapes language, and unsettles conventional storytelling. Together they discuss poetry as dwelling rather than explanation, childhood and formation amid violence, image versus narrative, moral imagination, and the challenge of staying present to suffering.Episode Highlights“Nothing has happened at Hawley School. Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.”“And that was what it is not to suffer. This is the not-suffering, happy-ending story.”“I'm always narrowing focus.”“I think stories lie to us sometimes.”“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree.”“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”About Carol Ann DavisCarol Ann Davis is a poet, essayist, and professor of English at Fairfield University. She is the author of the poetry collections Psalm and Atlas Hour, and the essay collection The Nail in the Tree: Essays on Art, Violence, and Childhood. A former longtime editor of the literary journal Crazyhorse, she directs Fairfield University's Low-Residency MFA and founded Poetry in Communities, an initiative bringing poetry to communities affected by violence. An NEA Fellow in Poetry, Davis's work has appeared in The Atlantic, The American Poetry Review, Image, Agni, The Georgia Review, and elsewhere.

Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.” (Hawley School's Principal sends this message to parents, including Carol Ann)Living inside the tension where nothing happened and everything changedWriters allowing mystery, unknowing, and time to remain unresolvedNaming “directly affected families” and later “families of loss”Ethical care for proximity without flattening grief into universalityThe moral value of being useful within an affected communityNarrowing attention as survival, parenting, and poetic disciplineChoosing writing, presence, and community over national policy debatesChildhood formation under the long shadow of gun violence“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree. And I'm the tree.” (Carol Ann quotes her older son, then in 4th grade)Growth as accommodation rather than healing or resolutionIntegration without erasure as a model for living with traumaRefusing happy-ending narratives after mass violence“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”Poetry as dwelling inside experience rather than extracting meaningResisting stories that turn suffering into takeawaysCrucifixion imagery, nails, trees, and the violence of embodiment“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”Violence as elemental, human, animal, and morally unsettlingDistinguishing intellectual mastery from dwelling in lived experienceA poem's turn toward fear: loving children and fearing harm“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”Childhood memory, danger, sweetness, and oceanic smallnessBeing comforted by smallness inside something vast and terrifyingEnding without closure, choosing remembrance over resolution#CarolAnnDavis#PoetryAndViolence#TraumaAndAttention#SandyHook#SandyHookPromise#FaithAndWriting#Poetry#ChildhoodAndMemoryProduction NotesThis podcast featured Carol Ann DavisEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie Bridge, Alexa Rollow, Zoë Halaban, Kacie Barrett & Emily BrookfieldA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Episode 293 with guest Nathan StockIn this episode, Wilk sits down with international conflict-resolution specialist Nathan Stock, a man with more than 20 years of experience working to reduce violence and strengthen democracy around the world. Nathan shares how his journey began as an English teacher in Gaza during the Al-Aqsa Intifada — an experience that taught him how quickly societies can shift from tension to full-scale conflict.Nathan explains the unsettling parallels he now sees in American political polarization: declining trust in institutions, tribal media bubbles, and the growing tendency to view political opponents as evil rather than human. But he also emphasizes the hopeful part: we still have agency, and personal relationships across difference remain one of the strongest antidotes to toxic polarization.Topics include: • Lessons from living through violent conflict • Why good people can be driven to do bad things • The role of media consumption in shaping our “reality” • Declining trust in institutions • How everyday citizens can help reduce political hostility • Building cross-partisan relationships that humanize, not demonizeLearn more about and connect with Nathan Stock by getting the full show notes at www.DerateTheHate.com.The world is a better place if we are better people.

In this conversation of Inspire Change, Gunter Swoboda delves into the profound question of human nature and the concept of equality, challenging the traditional narratives surrounding masculinity. He explores the anthropological evidence that suggests humans are not inherently competitive or hierarchical but are capable of living as equals. Swoboda emphasizes the importance of reframing masculinity from a perspective of dominance to one of equality, particularly in relationships and therapy. He encourages men to confront their fears of equality and to embrace a more authentic way of being that fosters genuine connections with others. Takeaways - Humans have a deep capacity for egalitarian relating. The narrative of masculinity often promotes competition and dominance. Therapy should be a collaborative space of equality. Men are often conditioned to see vulnerability as weakness. Reframing masculinity involves recognizing the capacity for equality. Equality is not just a concept but a lived experience. The journey to equality requires confronting internalized fears. Men can grow into deeper parts of their nature. Being a good man is about being fully human together. The work of men's development is about realigning with egalitarian values. Sound Bites - "What kind of animal are we actually?" "We're trained to compete." "Being a good man is not about being on top." Mid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

What happens when one of the greatest minds in modern technology has a spiritual awakening that shatters everything he thought he knew about reality? In this exclusive interview on Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Federico Faggin — legendary physicist-turned-inventor, creator of Silicon Gate Technology, father of the first commercial microprocessor at Intel, and early pioneer of AI — opens up like never before about the transformational experience that changed the entire direction of his life. Faggin reveals the moment a beam of pure love, peace, and joy radiated through him, showing him that consciousness—not matter—is the true foundation of reality. This awakening didn't just shift his worldview…it reshaped his life's work, his understanding of physics, and his mission to bridge science and spirituality. Federico Faggin breaks down: - How his spiritual awakening rewired his life & work - Why Consciousness & Free Will actually explain Quantum Physics (and not the other way around) - The 3 levels of reality, and why our spiritual reality is inseparable from the material one - Why humanity faces destructive consequences (like environmental collapse) when we're out of alignment with true reality - How gravity itself is “proof of love” at the deepest level - How ego overidentification blinds us to the true nature of existence - Why the boundary between science & spirituality has already dissolved - How the next evolution of medicine will awaken a deeper understanding of oneness, consciousness, and free will - Why your personal happiness is ultimately up to you and no one else - His insights on the Afterlife, Collective Consciousness, and whether we're living in a Simulation PLUS...Federico shares a special sneak peek at his groundbreaking new book! If you've ever wondered what consciousness really is, whether science can explain spirituality, or what happens after we die, this conversation will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about reality.

Clint Bentley's Train Dreams uses gorgeous imagery of the natural world, combined with an omniscient narrator quoting from the Denis Johnson novella the film adapts, to speak for a taciturn protagonist who struggles to understand, much less articulate, his place in the world. That approach has earned it the Terrence Malick comparisons that informed this pairing, but Train Dreams uses its own distinct lens to contemplate the ineffable and ephemeral nature of human existence. So after talking through our responses to the film's big-picture ideas and small, telling details, we place Train Dreams alongside Days of Heaven to discuss the two films' contrasting approaches to their overlapping elements, from persistent voiceover and big beautiful vistas, to man's presumed dominion over nature and the biblical infernos that suggest otherwise. Then for Your Next Picture Show, Keith offers a Days of Heaven-inspired recommendation for very different film featuring a similarly memorable performance from Linda Manz, 1980's Out of the Blue Please share your thoughts about Days of Heaven, Train Dreams, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Pym Avery is a revolutionary tattoo artist who began tattooing in 1987 at just 19. Travelling around Europe in a van and learning the craft entirely on her own, She opened her first tattoo shop in southern Germany in 1995, making her among the first women to break into a strongly male-dominated trade. More than three decades later, her journey is laid out in her memoir Show Time (published 2024), which recounts her struggles, travels, and evolution alongside the tattoo industry's transformation from underground subculture to mainstream art. Today, while she tattoos only occasionally at conventions or by guest-spot, she continues to create, turning to writing and other art forms when not at the tattoo machine.

Their plan to murder Grant is meticulously crafted, yet fraught with moral dilemmas and the potential for disaster. As the story progresses, the audience is drawn into a world where the lines between right and wrong blur, and the thirst for revenge threatens to consume all involved.A Climax of Twists and TurnsThe narrative reaches its zenith as the plot to kill Grant unravels, leading to unexpected revelations and a shocking conclusion.

Clint Bentley's new Train Dreams uses the vast canvas of the natural world to frame a relatively tiny story of a single human life, a juxtaposition of story and visuals that's reminiscent of the work of Terrence Malick, in particular 1978's Days of Heaven. Set, like Train Dreams, in the midst of America's Industrial Revolution, Days of Heaven takes an elliptical approach to a fairly straightforward narrative that is pure Malick, leaving us with much to discuss in terms of whose story this is, and what the film's sparse dialogue and unusual narration leaves unsaid. Then in Feedback, we share some quick reactions to a handful on new releases we won't be covering on the show, and address a listener suggestion for an alternate One Battle After Another pairing.  Please share your thoughts about Days of Heaven, Train Dreams, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

In a Paris hospital delivery room, Thomas Chatterton Williams, writer for The Atlantic and author of Self-Portrait in Black and White, held his newborn daughter for the first time. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. And in that instant, everything he thought he knew about race shattered.Thomas lives the questions about race and identity that most of us only debate. The son of a Black father who grew up under Jim Crow and a white mother, he had accepted America's racial categories without question. Until he couldn't.What he decided is radical. Controversial. And will challenge how you think about identity, George Floyd, and the categories we use to define ourselves.

Episode 2796: Elana Miller offers a deeply honest reflection on the emotional toll of living with illness and how others' reactions, often well-meaning but boundaryless, can objectify and exhaust rather than support. Through her experiences, she explores the importance of discernment, self-awareness, and protecting one's limited emotional energy, reminding us that true compassion is marked by respect, not intrusion. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://zenpsychiatry.com/on-human-nature/ Quotes to ponder: "Not everyone is equally deserving of my (currently limited) mental and emotional energy." "The most wise people learn not only from their own experiences, but from the experiences of others, they learn from the experiences of history." "Some people are highly evolved and others are not."

Episode 2795: Elana Miller reflects with clarity and candor on what a life-threatening illness taught her about the human impulse to help, sometimes sincerely, other times selfishly. Through the lens of her cancer journey and psychiatric training, she exposes the subtle ways people mask discomfort, ego, and fear as generosity, offering a powerful lesson in authentic empathy and presence. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://zenpsychiatry.com/on-human-nature/ Quotes to ponder: "The truest kind of generosity, which is offered with no concern for the ego of the person doing the offering, and total love for the person to whom they are offering something, is touching, and beautiful, and rare." "Everything happens for a reason" or, even worse, "God only gives us what we can carry," "Perhaps there isn't a greater force in the universe ensuring that bad things only happen to people who deserve them. Perhaps life isn't fair."

Every schoolboy has been told that, to understand human nature, we must look to our closest genetic relatives—the chimpanzees. Jane Goodall's pioneering research revealed that chimps use tools, hunt cooperatively, and engage in violent activity that looks like warfare. And from these observations, she and generations of scientists who followed in her wake have concluded that humans are essentially advanced primates, and that our behaviors—from violence to sexuality—flow from this genetic inheritance.   But what if this foundational assumption is wrong?   The Primate Myth: Why the Latest Science Leads Us to a New Theory of Human Nature is a new book by the playwright and critic Jonathan Leaf. Based on vast quantities of scientific literature, Leaf argues that recent genetic and neuroscientific discoveries are overturning decades of conventional wisdom. A landmark study published in April 2025 revealed that humans share only 86.5 percent of our genes with chimpanzees—not the 98.6 percent we've long believed. More importantly, the differences are concentrated precisely where they matter most: in the structures of our brains that govern cooperation, empathy, and language.   Leaf's thesis is both scientific and moral. If humans are not primarily aggressive primates but rather cooperative pack animals—closer in crucial ways to dolphins and wolves than to chimps—then it's high time to reconsider the natural impulses that lie at the roots of war, family, and human flourishing.   Leaf joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss his book and its implications.

This lack of self-belief later kept her “stuck in a box” as a housewife for eight years, afraid to chase her full potential.

Relationships are more transactional than we admit. Psychologist Orion Taraban explains what men and women actually want versus what they say! [Pt 1/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1212What We Discuss with Orion Taraban:People often can't accurately describe what they actually want in relationships. Women may say they want kindness and safety, but these qualities only matter from men they're already attracted to. The key insight: watch what people do, not what they say they want.According to Orion Taraban, people are always in relationships with their perceived best available option. This involves both emotional connection and practical value calculations. While this framing may feel uncomfortable, it helps explain why purely psychological dating advice often falls short.Contrary to popular belief, there aren't different strategies for short-term versus long-term relationships in modern dating culture. Since sex typically precedes commitment, the path to long-term relationships requires first succeeding at short-term attraction dynamics, then maintaining those behaviors over time.Men tend to cheat while staying in relationships (often due to opportunity rather than dissatisfaction), while women are more likely to cheat as a way to transition to better relationships. Women may also engage in "consecutive cheating" — ending one relationship and immediately starting another, which technically isn't infidelity but serves a similar function.Focus on attraction first, everything else second. The most practical takeaway is understanding that attraction must be established before other relationship qualities matter. Whether you're looking for casual dating or marriage, you need to first master the fundamentals of becoming attractive to your target demographic. This means being honest about what actually creates attraction rather than what you think should create it. Stay tuned for the second part of this two-part episode (airing later this week), where we'll dive deeper into specific strategies for building and maintaining this attraction in both short and long-term contexts!And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
