Climate change, global warming – we've all heard the steady drumbeat of doom. But a recent five-year forecast, by the World Meteorological Organization and the U.K. Meteorological Office, puts it starkly: The world will likely soon break another annual temperature record and, according to the Associated Press, the heat will be deadly. What would happen if we embraced the idea that the future still rests firmly in our hands? Is it in our nature to learn, adapt and change? And, equally important, is there still time? Author and climate scientist Kate Marvel dives into those questions in her new book “Human Nature,” on bookshelves now. She joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to share her perspective.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What if the key to unlocking true productivity is letting go of control? Mel Robbins had a mindset shift on her son's prom night when she found herself fussing over details that didn't matter.

What happens when we take numbers seriously—not just at face value, but in terms of their actual impact on our lives? This week, Reid and Aria are joined by UK-based mathematician and media personality Hannah Fry to explore this deceptively simple question. From cancer diagnoses to dating apps, Hannah makes the case that understanding the math behind our decisions—and the "game" we're really playing—is essential to building a better future. They discuss why regret minimization is often a better guide than raw percentages in assessing risks; Hannah's advice on finding love in a sea of swipe-rights; and how a well-framed question can be more powerful than the right answer. Plus, Inflection's Pi chimes in with a few Jane-Austen-themed math jokes.

Up this week is a provocative new episode for The Nick Halaris Show featuring author and historian Kate Epstein. Kate is an Associate Professor for History at Rutgers, the author of two fascinating books—"Torpedo” and “Analog Superpowers”— and a contributor to Persuasion, a publication dedicated to promoting free society. I came across Kate's work when a friend and one of my most steadfast supporters forwarded me her must-read essay “We, Robots.” While most are out cheering AI and its potential to make us super intelligent, Kate dares to consider the alternative: what if AI is actually making us all dumber? When I first read the article, I had a feeling Kate would make for a great podcast guest and she did not disappoint. Tune in to this fascinating conversation to learn:The scary truth about the decline in the reading and writing capabilities of college students and why professors around the country are being forced to lower their standards Why AI represents such a profound threat to the original ideal of the liberal arts education (i.e. training people for freedom) and why we should fight against its use in schools Why reading and writing are skills we shouldn't take for granted and the crucial role they play in fostering free society As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode.

You've done the coaching and the therapy, you've read the books, you've listened to the podcasts - and finally, you can accept that you're just as worthy as the next person! You belong here! You can stand up, take up space, and be proud! You can stop carrying all that anxiety, fear, and shame! Except ... nobody told your anxiety, fear, and shame. You feel just as uncertain as you ever did. And, to make things worse, you now also feel like an irrational mess, because if all those insights you've made about yourself haven't made any difference, perhaps you're beyond help? Don't worry, friend. We've all been there. Your imperfect friend here is throwing you a lifeline in the shape of the 18th-century Scottish philosopher, David Hume. Weird image, but still: you're normal, you're still moving forward, and all you need is a primer on what's going on when what you believe clashes with what you feel.Reference:Hume, David. 1739: A Treatise of Human Nature, Book II, Section III.

'Proclaim Liberty' with Clint Armitage (Christian Liberty, Motivation & Leadership)
Full Interview with Andrew Bustamante - https://youtu.be/EDU_Gjbp5as In this episode of the Radio Coffee House, host Clint Armitage takes listeners on a journey through the complex interplay of good and evil, inspired by an insightful interview with a retired CIA spy. Clint explores the intriguing metaphor of Satan as a Rottweiler, illustrating how the enemy operates within a world that is ultimately under God's control. This vivid imagery sets the stage for a deeper discussion on the nature of humanity, the inputs that shape our actions, and the spiritual battles we face daily. Listeners will be challenged to consider their own responses to life's temptations and how our inherent tendencies toward evil can be influenced by external circumstances. Clint emphasizes the importance of understanding the spiritual realm, where the battle between good and evil unfolds, and how recognizing our vulnerabilities can empower us to navigate life's challenges with faith. Through a biblical lens, he draws upon various scriptures to highlight the sovereignty of God over the forces at play in our lives. As Clint delves into the concept of inputs and outputs, he invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and the moments that have tested their character. He discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in transforming our responses and guiding us toward righteousness, reminding us that we are not alone in this struggle. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of staying attuned to God's voice amidst the distractions and temptations of the world. Join Clint for this engaging exploration of faith, temptation, and the dynamics of good and evil that shape our lives. Discover how embracing the Holy Spirit can lead to profound changes in our actions and reactions, ultimately guiding us toward a life aligned with God's purpose.

Interview by Kris PetersForged from the survivors of Long Beach bands Damned Age, Black Velvet Brigade and Red River Massacre in 2018, Carsex pull no punches when they come to their sound, name or influences.After crossing paths many a time on the local circuit in Orange County, the five music veterans gradually built a sonic relationship that has become a live force, with Carsex releasing their self-titled effort in 2019 and the EP 2020 the following year.It has been a long five-year wait for fans of the band to hear a new body of work, which has now been rectified with the release of the seven-track EP Human Interest last week.HEAVY caught up with frontman Nigel Burk to talk more."This one is our third EP," he offered, "and is definitely our strongest effort I feel, just out of the development of the band over the years and everything. I feel like we're as much a part of each other as we can be.""So I feel like this one is probably the first one that is 100 per cent genuine, just straight from all of us as a unit. And yeah, we're super stoked on it. The basic idea… a lot of our material goes through a pretty wide variety of subjects - and lightly touches on politics to a certain degree - but I wouldn't say that much. Just really like the human condition as a broad explanation. Sometimes it's a little difficult for me to explain exactly what certain songs or the idea of the band is about, because I like for the audience to experience it for themselves. I feel like our presentation is more up for perception or subjective to the listener, because it is for us as well. It means something different to all of the band members individually as well."In the full interview, Nigel highlighted several tracks, including Sitting Ducks, addressing societal issues, and Fuck This, which explores personal struggles. He shared the inspiration behind Landmine, stemming from a personal tragedy, and discussed DKC, which reflects on school shootings.He also mentioned Stella, a hopeful song that encapsulates a journey of acceptance. The band's live performance style has developed over their years together, and they are preparing for their EP launch at The Vine in Long Beach, while also planning a small tour later in the year after a brief hiatus for their drummer's surgery. We ran through the seven EP tracks individually and found out their intended meaning and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

We talk a bit more about David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (1751), and add some parts of A Treatise of Human Nature (1739): sec. 3 "Of the Influencing Motives of the Will" within the third part of Book II, "Of the Passions," and the first two sections of Book III, "Of Morals." Can reason by itself motivate moral action? Hume says no: All ethical reasons must point ultimately to sentiments, which we can generalize about, but which are epistemically basic.

You hear it, don't you?The silence. The absence. The breathing space between this world and the next.Tonight, I offer you four stories—not merely of fear… but of isolation, that most intimate form of terror. These are the whispers heard only when you are truly alone… when no one is listening… except them. In a Lonely PlaceAn empty building. A man on the run. But what he finds in the shadows isn't refuge… it's a watcher. A thing made of silence.Death Wears a Lonely SmileA nurse with a gift for comfort… and a patient with a secret pact. Death comes quietly—but sometimes, it smiles first.The Lonely RoadA midnight detour. A road not found on any map. A journey into the kind of night you don't return from.I Won't Die AloneA recluse lives in fear of dying without witness… but something is already waiting for him. Something that remembers.These are tales for the forgotten, the overlooked, the vanished. Stories to be heard in the stillest hours, when the world holds its breath and your heartbeat is the only thing reminding you—you're still here.For now.You know where to find us.Spotify. Apple Podcasts. Or wherever shadows speak.And if you, too, have wandered down a road no one else remember... Reach out. I'm always listening.

This week we're exploring embodiment science in education with some of the worlds leading embodiment practitioners and cognitive scientists! We believe that this is one of the most important shifts happening in education globally, which is simultaneously so simple, and yet so hard to budge given the depths of the tendencies towards disembodiment, especially in the Western tradition, that we explore.

In this OODAcast episode, host Matt Devost sits down with Maxie Reynolds, author of The Art of the Attack, to explore the evolution of her unique career from offshore oil rigs to elite red teaming and cybersecurity innovation. Maxie shares how her unconventional path, working a decade in oil and gas, earning degrees while on remote rigs, and eventually breaking into cybersecurity at PwC, shaped her approach to physical and digital security. Her journey led to the creation of a company that builds underwater data centers, a novel fusion of her industrial and red teaming experiences. She discusses the rising interest in submerged infrastructure, particularly after China's moves in the space and the demands of modern AI-driven cooling systems. The conversation dives deep into what it means to adopt an "attacker mindset", seeing opportunities where others see obstacles and using architecture, human psychology, and environment as vectors for access. Maxi outlines how her social engineering engagements hinge on understanding perception, psychology, and pretext creation rather than just technical exploits. She offers real-world stories of infiltrating secure facilities and engaging high-stakes targets using layered personas and misdirection. Through it all, she emphasizes the role of self-awareness, stress management, and emotional discipline in high-pressure operations, often drawing parallels between red teaming and stoicism. Maxie and Matt also examine how to responsibly deliver red team results to leadership, balancing candor with empathy to ensure organizations grow stronger without shame or defensiveness. They reflect on the future of AI in security, the persistence of physical threats, and the irreplaceable value of human judgment. The episode wraps with a powerful reading list and a shared love of books, highlighting titles that explore geopolitics, materials science, and the ungoverned world of the open ocean. This episode is packed with insight, storytelling, and practical wisdom for cybersecurity professionals, technologists, and leaders looking to understand how adversaries think—and how to outsmart them.

[00:30] Trump's Foreign-Policy Flaw: Total Trust in Human Nature (55 minutes) President Donald Trump's Middle East negotiations this week have a fatal flaw: The president and his administration make decisions based on total trust in the innate “goodness” of human nature. Inexperienced U.S. officials are reaching out to dictators, tyrants and terrorists in the misguided belief that they can make peace through negotiation. The Bible shows that trusting in man is a curse and will lead to destruction.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Guy Leschziner, a consultant neurologist and author of three bestselling books, including: “The Man Who Tasted Words”, “The Secret World of Sleep”, and “The Seven Deadly Sins”, which this interview focuses on. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, and clinical neurology, Guy makes a compelling case that what we label as “sin” may often have a biological cause, and isn't necessarily a moral failing. Expect to learn: — Why our so-called “sins” evolved as adaptive traits—and why they still serve a purpose — How free will may be more of a spectrum than a binary — Why understanding the biology of behaviour could radically change the criminal justice system — The disturbing story of Robert Alton Harris—and what it reveals about judgment, compassion, and accountability And more.

Welcome to the weMove podcast.In this episode, we return to the world of the nervous system, this time through the lens of breathwork. Our guest is Jamie Clements, founder of The Breath Space and host of the Human Nature Podcast. We dive into Jamie's backstory and how it shaped the work he does today.Breathwork has been a core focus for weMove since the early days, through conversations with pioneers like Patrick McKeown, Brian Mackenzie, Wim Hof, Dan Brulé, and others. While it's often presented as a cure-all for traumas, ailments, and more, it's also a tool that requires respect. Breathwork has immense potential to both enhance well-being and, if misused, unlock unintended consequences.Jamie's perspective on this stood out to me. He brings a balanced, thoughtful approach, recognizing breathwork's power while advocating for its responsible use. As part of a younger generation exploring and guiding these practices, Jamie's work offers valuable insights for anyone curious about this space.Jamie also collaborates with James Dowler (featured in a recent episode), so if you're interested in going deeper into breathwork or nervous system work, there's a connection worth exploring.Big thanks to Jamie for sharing his time and insights.From Chris and me, Peace.https://www.instagram.com/jamieclements_/?hl=enhttps://thebreathspace.co.uk/Human Nature podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/2a0QLnrjsJ8CrN5D36w9Ob?si=b41195a28a544ea6 https://www.instagram.com/human.nature.pod/?hl=en

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Apr 4, 2020 In this solo episode, Breht breaks down Karl Marx's powerful concept of alienation from his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. He walks listeners through the four types of alienation Marx identified—alienation from the product, the labor process, our human essence, and from each other—and bring them crashing into the present with real, relatable examples from contemporary working-class life. From soul-crushing jobs to the feeling of life slipping through your fingers, we connect Marx's 19th-century analysis to the 21st-century reality of exploitation and isolation under capitalism. In the process, Breht demonstrates how alienation is rooted in private property and capitalist social relations and explicates Marx's concept of species-being: our natural human capacity for conscious, creative, purposeful activity—which is reduced to a mere means of survival under capitalism, rather than a free expression of our humanity. This is Marxism made urgent, raw, relatable, and personal. Also: Happy International Worker's Day!

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan introduce the course "Understanding Capitalism." Capitalism rewards man with profit or punishes him with loss, depending on the merit of his actions. It expresses the freedom and rationality of human nature in an economic system. The capitalist system depends upon private property rights, the freedom of exchange and contract, sound money, and the rule of law that supports all of these through formal and informal structures. Such a system encourages innovation and morality along with economic prosperity. Capitalism depends upon property rights, sound money, the freedom of exchange and choice, and the rule of law. Within these conditions, capitalism has produced greater human flourishing for more people than any other economic system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By Dan Preston - The hardest thing about being a human being is dealing with our carnal nature. While it is a lifelong process to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit, there are a few practical tips we can practice along the way to help us on our road to conversion.
(True North Insight)
[00:30] The Forgetfulness of Human Nature (48 minutes) Commentators and historians on both the left and right sides of the political aisle are rewriting history to reflect modern liberal ideas. In a modern age that is extremely bad at remembering, true historians are the “anti-amnesia shock troops” who fight to protect the truth of the past. The biblical example of young King Josiah shows the correct response to studying history. [48:40] WorldWatch (4 minutes)
“Art is a form of prayer … a way to enter into relationship.”Artist and theologian Bruce Herman reflects on the sacred vocation of making, resisting consumerism, and the divine invitation to become co-creators. From Mark Rothko to Rainer Maria Rilke, to Andres Serrano's “Piss Christ” and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, he comments on the holy risk of artmaking and the sacred fire of creative origination.Together with Evan Rosa, Bruce Herman explores the divine vocation of art making as resistance to consumer culture and passive living. In this deeply poetic and wide-ranging conversation—and drawing from his book *Makers by Nature—*he invites us into a vision of art not as individual genius or commodity, but as service, dialogue, and co-creation rooted in love, not fear. They touch on ancient questions of human identity and desire, the creative implications of being made in the image of God, Buber's I and Thou, the scandal of the cross, Eliot's divine fire, Rothko's melancholy ecstasy, and how even making a loaf of bread can be a form of holy protest. A profound reflection on what it means to be human, and how we might change our lives—through beauty, vulnerability, and relational making.Episode Highlights“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”“ I think hope is being stolen from us Surreptitiously moment by moment hour by hour day by day.”“There is no them. There is only us.”“The work itself has a life of its own.”“Art that serves a community.”“You must change your life.” —Rilke, recited by Bruce Herman in reflection on the transformative power of art.“When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.”“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”“Art is not for the artist—any more than it's for anyone else. The work stands apart. It has its own voice.”“We're not merely consumers—we're made by a Maker to be makers.”“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Topics and ThemesHuman beings are born to create and make meaningArt as theological dialogue and spiritual resistanceCreative practice as a form of love and worshipChristian art and culture in dialogue with contemporary issuesPassive consumption vs. active creationHow to engage with provocative art faithfullyThe role of beauty, mystery, and risk in the creative processArt that changes you spiritually, emotionally, and intellectuallyThe sacred vocation of the artist in a consumerist worldHow poetry and painting open up divine encounter, particularly in Rainer Maria Rilke's “Archaic Torso of Apollo”Four Quartets and spiritual longing in modern poetryHospitality, submission, and service as aesthetic posturesModern culture's sickness and art as medicineEncountering the cross through contemporary artistic imagination“Archaic Torso of Apollo”Rainer Maria Rilke 1875 –1926We cannot know his legendary head with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso is still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low, gleams in all its power. Otherwise the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile run through the placid hips and thighs to that dark center where procreation flared. Otherwise this stone would seem defaced beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur: would not, from all the borders of itself, burst like a star: for here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.About Bruce HermanBruce Herman is a painter, writer, educator, and speaker.

We exist in the space between us.”The divine invitation is relational, not autonomous.Desire, imitation, and submission form the core of our relational anthropology.Art as Resistance to Consumerism“We begin to enter into illness when we become mere consumers.”Art Versus PropagandaCulture is sickened by passive consumption, entertainment addiction, and aesthetic commodification.Making a loaf of bread, carving wood, or crafting a cocktail are acts of cultural resistance.Desire“Anything is resistance… Anything is a protest against passive consumption.”Art as Dialogue and Submission“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”Submission—though culturally maligned—is a necessary posture in love and art.Engaging with art requires openness to transformation.“If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it.”The Transformative Power of Encountering ArtQuoting Rilke's Archaic Torso of Apollo: “You must change your life.”True art sees the viewer and invites them to become something more.Herman's own transformative moment came unexpectedly in front of a Rothko painting.“The best part of my work is outside of my control.”Scandal, Offense, and the Cross in ArtAnalyzing Andres Serrano's Piss Christ as a sincere meditation on the commercialization of the cross.“Does the crucifixion still carry sacred weight—or has it been reduced to jewelry?”Art should provoke—but out of love, not self-aggrandizement or malice.“The cross is an offense. Paul says so. But it's the power of God for those being saved.”Beauty, Suffering, and Holy RiskEncounter with art can arise from personal or collective suffering.Bruce references Christian Wiman and Walker Percy as artists opened by pain.“Sometimes it takes catastrophe to open us up again.”Great art offers not escape, but transformation through vulnerability.The Fire and the Rose: T. S. Eliot's InfluenceFour Quartets shaped Herman's artistic and theological imagination.Eliot's poetry is contemplative, musical, liturgical, and steeped in paradox.“To be redeemed from fire by fire… when the fire and the rose are one.”The collaborative Quartets project with Makoto Fujimura and Chris Theofanidis honors Eliot's poetic vision.Living and Creating from Love, Not Fear“Make from love, not fear.”Fear-driven art (or politics) leads to manipulation and despair.Acts of love include cooking, serving, sharing, and creating for others.“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Media & Intellectual ReferencesMakers by Nature by Bruce HermanFour Quartets by T.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano welcomes Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Robert George, co-authors of the new book Truth Matters: A Dialogue on Fruitful Disagreement in an Age of Division. As the country faces unprecedented polarization, AI-driven misinformation, and the erosion of intellectual curiosity, West and George offer a powerful roadmap for restoring civil discourse and truth-seeking. Drawing on decades of friendship despite ideological differences, they explore how Americans can navigate political disagreements without destroying relationships. This episode is for those committed to reviving the foundations of a free and open society. Episode Highlights: How friendship rooted in mutual respect can thrive across deep political divides Why the education system has abandoned truth-seeking and how we can fix it What's different about today's political division—and whether we were ever truly unified
Friday Night Live 4 April 2025In this episode, I critically analyze the Stanford Prison Experiment in light of Thibaut Le Texier's recent book and Russell T. Warne's critique, which questions the experiment's integrity and ethical violations. I challenge the notion of an inherent capacity for cruelty within humans, advocating for a more hopeful perspective on human nature. Discussions on societal perceptions of morality and the impact of social norms on self-worth lead to an emphasis on honesty in relationships. As I critique sensationalized narratives that foster mistrust, I encourage listeners to reflect on their instincts and engage in genuine connections while advocating for moral accountability amidst life's complexities.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
