Morgan proposes that the Bible goes far beyond the creation of the believer vs nonbeliever - it actually establishes a metaphysical frame for everything that follows, wherein the foundational premise of the death and resurrection of the Crucifixion is intended to be literally *beyond belief.* We explore the social features that are required downstream of this central premise, and how the world we inhabit today is shaped by principles established in a wildly different age.

Scientists have just uncovered a brand-new human species, and it's not what they expected!

Mark Gober Talk About An End to the Upside Down Cosmos Our guest today is Mark Gober, who is with us for the tenth time. When we first met him, Mark was a recent Princeton graduate, and a tennis champion, but he had wandered off the mainstream reservation and discovered the primacy of consciousness, and he just could not let it go. So he had dared to research, and to writee about it! He had written a truly amazing book called An End to Upside Down Thinking – Dispelling the Myth that the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life. His next book was AN END TO UPSIDE DOWN LIVING – Reorienting Our Consciousness to Live Better and Save the Human Species. Then came AN END TO UPSIDE DOWN LIBERTY – Turning Traditional Political Thinking on Its Head to Break Free from Enslavement. Then came AN END TO UPSIDE DOWN CONTACT – UFOs, Aliens, and Spirits, and Why Their Ongoing Interaction with Human Civilization Matters. And AN END TO THE UPSIDE DOWN RESET – The Leftist Vision for Society Under the “Great Reset,” and How It Can Fool Caring People into Supporting Harmful Causes. Then it was AN END to UPSIDE DOWN MEDICINE – And why Consciousness is Needed for a New Paradigm of Health. And now comes Mark's new book, called AN END TO THE UPSIDE DOWN COSMOS – Rethinking the Big Bang, Heliocentrism, the Lights in the Sky…and Where We Live. Mark Gober is a genuine polymath. He is one of the extremely few people who can enter a field that is entirely new to him, take apart its elements, master its literature, and then approach it and put it together again in a whole new and much better way!

This week on the show, Chris dives into the groundbreaking discovery of Homo juluensis, a newly identified hominin species that's shaking up the story of human evolution. Meanwhile, we delve int the archive to revisit fascinating research detailing the first documented case of an orangutan using medicine on its own wounds. 

Scientists say ancient footprints left in wet dirt on a Kenyan lakeside suggest that two early human ancestors were neighbors about 1.5 million years ago. 科学家表示，肯尼亚湖畔湿泥土中留下的古代脚印表明，大约 150 万年前，两个早期人类祖先是邻居。 Two separate species made the sets of footprints “within a matter of hours, or at most days,” said paleontologist Louise Leakey, a writer of the research published recently in the journal Science. Paleontologists study fossils to learn about the history of life on Earth. 最近发表在《科学》杂志上的这项研究的作者、古生物学家路易丝·利基 (Louise Leakey) 说，两个不同的物种“在几个小时内，或者最多几天内”就留下了这组脚印。古生物学家研究化石是为了了解地球上生命的历史。Scientists already knew from earlier fossil finds that these two extinct lines of human development – called Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei – lived about the same time in the Turkana Basin. 科学家们从早期的化石发现中已经知道，这两个已灭绝的人类进化谱系——直立人和博伊西傍人——大约同时生活在图尔卡纳盆地。 But dating fossils is not exact. “It's plus or minus a few thousand years,” said paleontologist William Harcourt-Smith of Lehman College and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. He was not involved in the study 但化石年代测定并不准确。“这正负了几千年，”纽约雷曼学院和美国自然历史博物馆的古生物学家威廉·哈考特·史密斯说。他没有参与这项研究 Yet with fossil footprints, “there's an actual moment in time preserved,” he said. “It's an amazing discovery.” 然而，有了化石足迹，“就保存了一个真实的时间点，”他说。“这是一个惊人的发现。” Researchers found the fossil footprints in 2021 in what is today Koobi Fora, Kenya, said Leaky, who is based at Stony Brook University in New York. 纽约石溪大学的 Leaky 表示，研究人员于 2021 年在今天的肯尼亚库比福拉发现了化石足迹。 Study co-writer Kevin Hatala is a paleoanthropologist at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He said the two species likely knew of each other's existence whether they left the prints at the same time or a day or two apart. 研究合著者凯文·哈塔拉是宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡查塔姆大学的古人类学家。他说，这两个物种很可能知道彼此的存在，无论它们是同时留下的脚印还是相隔一两天留下的脚印。 “They probably saw each other, probably knew each other was there and probably influenced each other in some way,” Hatala said. 哈塔拉说：“他们可能见过对方，可能知道对方在那里，并且可能以某种方式互相影响。” Scientists were able to tell the difference between the two species because of the shape of the footprints. The shape of each informed researchers about the structure of the foot and how it was being used at the time. 由于脚印的形状，科学家们能够区分这两个物种。每个脚的形状都让研究人员了解脚的结构以及当时的使用方式。 Homo erectus appeared to be walking similarly to how modern humans walk – striking the ground heel first, then moving weight over the ball of the foot and toes and pushing off again. 直立人的行走方式似乎与现代人的行走方式类似——脚跟先着地，然后将重量转移到脚掌和脚趾上，然后再次推出。 The other species, which was also walking upright, was moving “in a different way from anything else we've seen before, anywhere else,” said co-writer Erin Marie Williams-Hatala, a human development anatomist at Chatham. 另一种物种也是直立行走，其移动方式“与我们之前在其他地方见过的任何其他物种都不同”，查塔姆人类发育解剖学家、合著者艾琳·玛丽·威廉姆斯-哈塔拉（Erin Marie Williams-Hatala）说。 Among other details, the footprints suggest greater ability of movement in their big toe, compared to Homo erectus or modern humans, said Hatala. 哈塔拉说，除其他细节外，这些脚印表明，与直立人或现代人类相比，他们的大脚趾具有更强的运动能力。 Our common primate ancestors probably had hands and feet fit for grasping branches. But, over time, the feet of human ancestors developed to permit walking upright, researchers say. 我们共同的灵长类祖先可能有适合抓握树枝的手和脚。但研究人员表示，随着时间的推移，人类祖先的脚进化到可以直立行走。 The new study adds to a growing amount of research that suggests the change to walking on two feet did not happen at a single moment, in a single way. 越来越多的研究表明，双脚行走的改变并不是在某一时刻以单一方式发生的，这项新研究是对这一结果的补充。 Instead, there may have been a number of ways that early humans learned to walk, run and slide on prehistoric muddy hills. 相反，早期人类可能通过多种方式学会了在史前泥泞的山丘上行走、跑步和滑行。 “It turns out, there are different gait mechanics – different ways of being bipedal,” said Harcourt-Smith. “事实证明，存在不同的步态机制——双足行走的不同方式，”哈考特-史密斯说。

Did you know November 9 is National Neanderthal Appreciation Day? Reivist this episode where Mo welcomes his friend Michael Ian Black – comedian, author, podcaster, and, as it turns out, Neanderthal (we'll explain). Mo talks to Michael and the world's leading researchers about why our extinct human cousins Neanderthals have gotten such a bad rap for so many many years, and how we're learning more about how close we really were. Oh, Mo also talks to the guy who played Cha-ka on the 70s kids show Land of the Lost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This gent who goes by the name of Das is eccentric, passionate, articulate & intelligent so strap in for this fast paced, heady conversation framed through the lens of equal rights for species other than humans to the very resources we are destroying. His voice grins, setting a positive tone & his true love of the natural world is just a tad intoxicating.We leap from the truth that adaptability trumps strength for resilience. We quip about how the finance sector is filled with animals,  we both agree that animals are more sensible than human beings - they don't go about destroying the landscape that keeps them alive & we ponder how we came to be a culture that thinks we can click our way out of the quandary we find ourselves in. We ask if you're suffering from 'Prognostic Miopia' where you are so focussed on the near term things you don't connect with the real long term consequences of our actions. We suspect the very culture we all swim in, means we all suffer & rather than feeling the weight of this, taking the approach of finding our own, individual ways to swim out of it. It covers a lots and its a cracker! Links You'll LoveAldo Leopold - The Sand County AlmanacWild Quests by DasBarry Lopez - Arctic DreamsLoved this Ep….Listen to:- Damon Gameau - Dan Palmer - Helena Norberg Hodge  Support the ShowCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow mattersShow NotesDefining what it means to be human through studying animals Coming face to face with a grizzly bear in AlaskaFailing our natural world as its guardianOur need for 1.7 earths"Human eyes need more pixels than there are in the universe to capture the beauty of some animals"Going to the root cause of the problems rather than bandaid-ingHuman beings as mere hosts for bacteria & virusesThe danger of our reliance on tech"Humans address every problem with Paleolithic emotions, medievil institutions & godlike technology - a dangerous recipeReading your landscapeEntering the phase of populism for answersMoving our problems into the future"Ultimately the worth of our species will be measured by our acceptance of our true role within the complex web that is life"Support the show

In this episode Jacinta speaks with Aminah Hassan-Birdwell, Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Emory University, about 18th Century Fante-British abolitionist and philosopher Ottobah Cugoano. We focus on his essay "Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil and Wicked Traffic of the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species," discussing its broad-spanning and interconnected critique of slavery, law, labour and colonization. Hassan-Birdwell considers the breadth of Cugoano's perspective, explaining that he takes not only the suffering of the individual into account, but the health of their society, and looks not merely at British society, but the morality of nations across the globe. Hassan-Birdwell concludes the episode by offering advice to early career scholars commencing research on similarly marginalised philosophers.

Yes, we can… but the how, and how you fit in, will surprise you! Can conversations between people who disagree, shift the tide for our human survival on earth? In this episode, Rob sits down with Asher Jay, founder and CEO of Henoscene, to passionately explore the urgent and complex challenges of climate change and species extinction, including our human species. They discuss the realities of our lack of transparency socially, our own insecurities and our instinctive desire to only look out for our own narrow interests, even at the expense of our ability to survive. They dive into the critical role of personal responsibility, and the ethical use of technology in tackling these issues. Asher shares her belief in the power of open dialogue and simple actions to inspire collective change. Tune in for a really compelling discussion on hope, responsibility, and the interconnectedness of our world.

The relationship between architecture and the awareness of death is explored, with the idea that built structures allowed humans to create a sense of permanence and continuity in the face of mortality. Neolithic dolmens and their alignment with the summer solstice may have played a crucial role in rituals related to death, the afterlife, and the cyclical nature of the cosmos. The astronomical alignment of the Dolmen de Menga is part of a larger pattern of archaeoastronomical significance in Neolithic monuments across Europe, suggesting a shared cosmological understanding among ancient societies. Neolithic art and architecture, including the use of red ochre and iron oxide paintings, may be linked to shamanic practices and altered states of consciousness. Peter Sloterdijk's theory of spheres is applied to understand the evolution of human spatial awareness and the desire to recreate protected, womb-like spaces through architecture. The fundamental nature of architecture and its role in human life is explored through various philosophical, psychological, and sociological perspectives. Adventure Time with My Daughter My daughter Violet likes the show Adventure Time. She loves mythology, creepy tombs, long dead civilizations and getting to be the first to explore and discover new things. I took my 6-year-old daughter to the Neolithic portal Tomb, or Dolmen, Dolmen de Menga in Antequera, while on a trip to Spain. This ancient megalithic monument, believed to be one of the oldest and largest in Europe, dates back to the 3rd millennium BCE. It is made of 8 ton slabs of stone that archaeologists have a passing idea of how ancient people moved. It has a well drilled through 20 meters of bedrock at the back of it and it is oriented so that the entrance faces a mountain that looks like a sleeping giant the ancient builders might have worshiped. All of this delighted my daughter. The dolmen's impressive architecture features massive stone slabs, some weighing up to 180 tons, forming a 25-meter-long corridor and a spacious chamber. Inside, a well adds to the mystery, possibly used for rituals or as a symbol of the underworld. What's truly fascinating is the dolmen's alignment with the nearby La Peña de los Enamorados mountain. During the summer solstice, the sun rises directly over the mountain, casting its first rays into the dolmen's entrance, illuminating the depths of the chamber. This astronomical alignment suggests the ancient builders had a sophisticated understanding of the cosmos. According to archaeoastronomical studies, the Dolmen de Menga might have served as a symbolic bridge between life and death, connecting the world of the living with the realm of the ancestors. The solstice alignment could have held great spiritual significance, marking a time of renewal, rebirth, and the eternal cycle of existence. Sharing this incredible experience with my daughter and witnessing her awe and curiosity as she felt the weight of boulders that men had moved by hand, is a moment I'll treasure forever.  I reminded her that every time she has seen a building, be it a school or a sky-scraper, it all started here with the birth of architecture, and maybe the birth of something else too. Thinking about prehistory is weird because thinking about the limits of our human understanding is trippy and prehistory is, by definition, before history and therefore written language, meaning we cant really know the subjective experience of anyone who was a part of it. Talking to a child about the limits of what we as a species do or can know are some of my favorite moments as a parent because they are opportunities to teach children the importance of curiosity, intuition and intellectual humility than many adults never learn. Watching Violet contemplate a time when mankind didn't have to tools or advanced scientific knowledge was a powerful moment when I saw her think so deeply about the humanity she was a part of. What the Invention of Architecture did to Psychology Anecdote of the Jar by Wallace Stevens I placed a jar in Tennessee, And round it was, upon a hill. It made the slovenly wilderness Surround that hill.   The wilderness rose up to it, And sprawled around, no longer wild. The jar was round upon the ground And tall and of a port in air.   It took dominion everywhere. The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush, Like nothing else in Tennessee. Prior to the advent of architecture, the world was an undivided, seamless entity, with no clear boundaries between human habitation and the natural environment. The construction of dolmens and other architectural structures shattered this unified perception, creating a new paradigm in which humans actively shaped and claimed portions of the earth for their own purposes. This act of claiming space and erecting structures upon it represented a profound psychological shift, as humans began to assert their agency and control over their surroundings. The division of the world into natural and man-made spaces had far-reaching implications for human psychology. It fostered a sense of ownership and territoriality, as individuals and communities began to identify with and attach meaning to the spaces they created. This attachment to claimed spaces gave rise to new concepts of home, belonging, and identity, which were intimately tied to the built environment. Simultaneously, the unclaimed, natural world began to be perceived as a separate entity, one that existed beyond the boundaries of human control and understanding. The impact of this division on religion was equally profound. The creation of man-made spaces, such as dolmens, provided a tangible manifestation of human agency and the ability to shape the world according to human beliefs and desires. These structures became sacred spaces, imbued with religious and spiritual significance, where rituals and ceremonies could be performed. The separation of natural and man-made spaces also gave rise to new religious concepts, such as the idea of sacred and profane spaces, and the belief in the ability of humans to create and manipulate the divine through architectural means. The significance of this division between natural and man-made spaces is beautifully captured in Wallace Stevens' anecdote of the jar. In this short poem, Stevens describes placing a jar in a wilderness, which "took dominion everywhere." The jar, a man-made object, transforms the natural landscape around it, asserting human presence and control over the untamed wilderness. This simple act of placing a jar in the wild encapsulates the profound psychological and religious implications of the invention of architecture. The jar represents the human impulse to claim and shape space, to impose order and meaning upon the chaos of the natural world. It symbolizes the division between the natural and the man-made, and the way in which human creations can alter our perception and understanding of the world around us. Just as the jar takes dominion over the wilderness, the invention of architecture during the Neolithic period forever changed the way humans perceive and interact with their environment, shaping our psychology and religious beliefs in ways that continue to resonate to this day. The Relationship of Architecture to the Awareness of Death Robert Pogue Harrison, a professor of Italian literature and cultural history, has written extensively about the relationship between architecture, human psychology, and our understanding of death. In his book "The Dominion of the Dead," Harrison explores how the invention of architecture fundamentally altered human consciousness and our attitude towards mortality. According to Harrison, the creation of built structures marked a significant shift in human psychology. Before architecture, early humans lived in a world where the natural environment was dominant, and death was an ever-present reality. The invention of architecture allowed humans to create a sense of permanence and stability in the face of the transient nature of life. By constructing buildings and monuments, humans could create a physical manifestation of their existence that would outlast their individual lives. This allowed for a sense of continuity and the ability to leave a lasting mark on the world. Harrison argues that architecture became a way for humans to assert their presence and create a symbolic defense against the inevitability of death. Moreover, Harrison suggests that the invention of architecture gave rise to the concept of the "afterlife." By creating tombs, pyramids, and other burial structures, humans could imagine a realm where the dead continued to exist in some form. These architectural spaces served as a bridge between the world of the living and the world of the dead, providing a sense of connection and continuity. Harrison also argues that architecture played a crucial role in the development of human culture and collective memory. Buildings and monuments became repositories for shared histories, myths, and values. They served as physical anchors for cultural identity and helped to create a sense of belonging and shared purpose among communities. However, Harrison also notes that architecture can have a complex relationship with death. While it can provide a sense of permanence and a symbolic defense against mortality, it can also serve as a reminder of our own impermanence. The ruins of ancient civilizations and the decay of once-great buildings can evoke a sense of melancholy and serve as a testament to the ultimate transience of human existence. Death and Ritual through Architecture Recent archaeological findings have shed light on the potential significance of the alignment of Neolithic dolmens with the summer solstice. These ancient stone structures, found throughout Europe and beyond, have long been shrouded in mystery. However, the precise positioning of these megalithic tombs suggests that they may have played a crucial role in Stone Age rituals related to death, the afterlife, and the cyclical nature of the cosmos. On the day of the summer solstice, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and casts its longest rays, a remarkable phenomenon occurs within certain dolmens. The light penetrates through the narrow entrance, illuminating the interior chamber and reaching the furthest recesses of the tomb. This alignment, achieved with great intentionality and skill, has led archaeologists to speculate about the beliefs and practices of the Neolithic people who constructed these monumental structures. One theory suggests that the dolmens served as portals for the souls of the deceased to ascend to the heavenly bodies. The sun, often revered as a divine entity in ancient cultures, may have been seen as the ultimate destination for the spirits of the dead. By aligning the dolmen with the solstice, the Neolithic people perhaps believed that they were creating a direct pathway for the souls to reach the sun and achieve a form of celestial immortality. Another interpretation posits that the solstice alignment was a way to honor and commemorate the dead. The penetrating light, reaching the innermost chamber of the dolmen, could have been seen as a symbolic reunion between the living and the deceased. This annual event may have served as a time for the community to gather, pay respects to their ancestors, and reaffirm the enduring bond between the generations. Furthermore, the cyclical nature of the solstice, marking the longest day of the year and the subsequent return of shorter days, may have held profound symbolic meaning for the Neolithic people. The alignment of the dolmen with this celestial event could have been interpreted as a representation of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Just as the sun reaches its peak and then begins its descent, the dolmen's illumination on the solstice may have symbolized the passage from life to death and the promise of eventual renewal. While we may never know with certainty the exact beliefs and rituals associated with the Neolithic dolmens and their solstice alignment, the structures themselves stand as testaments to the ingenuity, astronomical knowledge, and spiritual convictions of our ancient ancestors. The precision and effort required to construct these megalithic tombs and align them with the heavens suggest a deep reverence for the dead and a belief in the interconnectedness of life, death, and the cosmos. The Astronomical Alignment of the Dolmen de Menga and Its Broader Significance The astronomical alignment of the Dolmen de Menga with the summer solstice sunrise is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather part of a larger pattern of archaeoastronomical significance in Neolithic monuments across Europe and beyond. Many megalithic structures, such as Newgrange in Ireland and Maeshowe in Scotland, have been found to have precise alignments with solar and lunar events, suggesting that the ancient builders had a sophisticated understanding of the movements of celestial bodies and incorporated this knowledge into their architectural designs. The alignment of the Dolmen de Menga with the summer solstice sunrise may have held profound symbolic and ritual significance for the Neolithic community that built and used the structure. The solstice, as a moment of transition and renewal in the natural cycle of the year, could have been associated with themes of rebirth, fertility, and the regeneration of life. The penetration of the sun's first rays into the inner chamber of the dolmen on this date may have been seen as a sacred union between the celestial and terrestrial realms, a moment of cosmic alignment and heightened spiritual potency. The incorporation of astronomical alignments into Neolithic monuments across Europe suggests that these ancient societies had a shared cosmological understanding and a deep reverence for the cycles of the sun, moon, and stars. The construction of megalithic structures like the Dolmen de Menga can be seen as an attempt to harmonize human activity with the larger rhythms of the cosmos, creating a sense of unity and connection between people and the natural and celestial worlds they inhabited. Originally these structures were probably lovingly adorned with paint and patterns. This paint was usually made of red ochre and iron oxide.  We know that because the paintings that are left in Iberia are made of these materials and the extremely few neolithic portal tombs that were protected from the elements still have geographic markings.   [caption id="attachment_5367" align="aligncenter" width="715"] Here is me hiking up to look at some iron oxide neolithic paintings[/caption][caption id="attachment_5365" align="aligncenter" width="605"] Here is a little guy made out of iron oxide who is about six thousand years old[/caption][caption id="attachment_5372" align="aligncenter" width="466"] The 4th millennium BC painting inside the Dolmen Anta de Antelas in Iberia[/caption]   Some researchers, such as David Lewis-Williams and Thomas Dowson, have proposed that the geometric patterns and designs found in Neolithic art and architecture may represent the visions experienced by shamans during altered states of consciousness. Other scholars, like Michael Winkelman, argue that shamanism played a crucial role in the development of early human cognition and social organization. According to this theory, the construction of sacred spaces like the Dolmen de Menga may have been closely tied to the practices and beliefs of shaman cults, who served as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual realms. What is Architecture: Why did we invent it? Philosopher, Peter Sloterdijk's theory of spheres, particularly his concept of the first primal globe and its subsequent splitting, offers an intriguing framework for understanding the evolution of human spatial awareness and its manifestations in art and architecture. Sloterdijk's "spherology" posits that human existence is fundamentally about creating and inhabiting spheres - protected, intimate spaces that provide both physical and psychological shelter. The "first primal globe" in his theory refers to the womb, the original protected space that humans experience. According to Sloterdijk, the trauma of birth represents a splitting of this primal sphere, leading humans to constantly seek to recreate similar protective environments throughout their lives and cultures. This concept of sphere-creation and inhabitation can be seen as a driving force behind much of human culture and architecture. Applying this framework to Neolithic architecture like dolmens and portal tombs, we might interpret these structures as attempts to recreate protected, womb-like spaces on a larger scale. These stone structures, with their enclosed spaces and narrow entrances, could be seen as physical manifestations of the desire to recreate the security and intimacy of the "primal sphere" and our universal interaction with it through the archetype of birth. In the Neolithic period, the world was perceived as an undifferentiated sphere, where the sacred and the secular were intimately intertwined. The concept of separate realms for the divine and the mundane had not yet emerged, and the universe was experienced as a single, all-encompassing reality. In this context, the creation of the earliest permanent architecture, such as portal tombs, represents a significant milestone in human history, marking the beginning of a fundamental shift in how humans understood and organized their environment. Portal tombs, also known as dolmens, are among the most enigmatic and captivating architectural structures of the Neolithic era. These megalithic monuments, consisting of large upright stones supporting a massive horizontal capstone, have puzzled and intrigued researchers and visitors alike for centuries. While their exact purpose remains a subject of debate, many scholars believe that portal tombs played a crucial role in the emergence of the concept of sacred space and the demarcation of the secular and the divine. Mircea Eliade. In his seminal work, "The Sacred and the Profane," Eliade argues that the creation of sacred space is a fundamental aspect of human religiosity, serving to distinguish the realm of the divine from the ordinary world of everyday existence. He suggests that the construction of portal tombs and other megalithic structures in the Neolithic period represents an early attempt to create a liminal space between the sacred and the secular, a threshold where humans could encounter the numinous and connect with the spiritual realm. Remember that this was the advent of the most basic technology, or as Slotedijik might label it, anthropotechnics. The idea that sacred and secular space could even be separated was itself a technological invention, or rather made possible because of one. Anthropotechnics refers to the various practices, techniques, and systems humans use to shape, train, and improve themselves. It encompasses the methods by which humans attempt to modify their biological, psychological, and social conditions. The Nature of Architecture and Its Fundamental Role in Human Life Architecture, at its core, is more than merely the design and construction of buildings. It is a profound expression of human creativity, culture, and our relationship with the world around us. Throughout history, scholars and theorists have sought to unravel the fundamental nature of architecture and its impact on the human experience. By examining various theories and perspectives, we can gain a deeper understanding of the role that architecture plays in shaping our lives and the societies in which we live. One of the most influential thinkers to explore the essence of architecture was the philosopher Hannah Arendt. In her work, Arendt emphasized the importance of the built environment in creating a sense of stability, permanence, and shared experience in human life. She argued that architecture serves as a tangible manifestation of the human capacity for creation and the desire to establish a lasting presence in the world. Arendt's ideas highlight the fundamental role that architecture plays in providing a physical framework for human existence. By creating spaces that endure over time, architecture allows us to anchor ourselves in the world and develop a sense of belonging and continuity. It serves as a backdrop against which the drama of human life unfolds, shaping our experiences, memories, and interactions with others. Other theorists, such as Martin Heidegger and Gaston Bachelard, have explored the philosophical and psychological dimensions of architecture. Heidegger, in his essay "Building Dwelling Thinking," argued that the act of building is intimately connected to the human experience of dwelling in the world. He suggested that architecture is not merely a matter of creating functional structures, but rather a means of establishing a meaningful relationship between individuals and their environment. Bachelard, in his book "The Poetics of Space," delved into the emotional and imaginative aspects of architecture. He explored how different spaces, such as homes, attics, and basements, evoke specific feelings and memories, shaping our inner lives and sense of self. Bachelard's ideas highlight the powerful psychological impact that architecture can have on individuals, serving as a catalyst for introspection, creativity, and self-discovery. From a sociological perspective, theorists like Henri Lefebvre and Michel Foucault have examined the ways in which architecture reflects and reinforces power structures and social hierarchies. Lefebvre, in his book "The Production of Space," argued that architecture is not merely a neutral container for human activity, but rather a product of social, political, and economic forces. He suggested that the design and organization of space can perpetuate inequality, segregation, and control, shaping the way individuals and communities interact with one another. Foucault, in his work on disciplinary institutions such as prisons and hospitals, explored how architecture can be used as a tool for surveillance, regulation, and the exercise of power. His ideas highlight the potential for architecture to serve as an instrument of social control, influencing behavior and shaping the lives of those who inhabit or interact with the built environment. By engaging with the diverse theories and perspectives on architecture, we can develop a more nuanced understanding of its role in shaping the human experience. From the philosophical insights of Arendt and Heidegger to the psychological explorations of Bachelard and the sociological critiques of Lefebvre and Foucault, each perspective offers a unique lens through which to examine the essence of architecture and its impact on our lives. As we continue to grapple with the challenges of an increasingly urbanized and globalized world, the study of architecture and its fundamental nature becomes more important than ever. By unlocking the secrets of this ancient and enduring art form, we may find new ways to create spaces that nurture the human spirit, foster connection and belonging, and shape a built environment that truly reflects our highest values and aspirations. Violet's Encounter with the Dolmen It is a common misconception to think of children as blank slates, mere tabula rasas upon which culture and experience inscribe themselves. In truth, children are born with the same primal unconscious that has been part of the human psyche since prehistory. They are simply closer to this wellspring of archetypes, instincts, and imaginative potentials than most adults, who have learned to distance themselves from it through the construction of a rational, bounded ego. While I talked to the archaeologist on site of the Dolmen de Menga, I saw the that these rituals and symbols are still alive in the unconscious of modern children just as they were in the stone age. I looked at the ground to see that Violet was instinctually making a little Dolmen out of dirt. My daughter Violet's recent fear of the dark illustrates this innate connection to the primal unconscious. When she wakes up afraid in the middle of the night, I try to reassure her by explaining that the shadows that loom in the darkness are nothing more than parts of herself that she does not yet know how to understand yet or integrate. They are manifestations of the unknown, the numinous, the archetypal - all those aspects of the psyche that can be terrifying in their raw power and otherness, but that also hold the keys to creativity, transformation, and growth. Violet intuitively understands this link between fear and creativity. She has begun using the very things that frighten her as inspiration for her storytelling and artwork, transmuting her nighttime terrors into imaginative narratives and symbols. This process of turning the raw materials of the unconscious into concrete expressions is a perfect microcosm of the way in which art and architecture have always functioned for humans - as ways of both channeling and containing the primal energies that surge within us. When Violet walked through the Dolmen de Menga and listened to the archaeologist's explanations of how it was built, something in her immediately responded with recognition and understanding. The dolmen's construction - the careful arrangement of massive stones to create an enduring sacred space - made intuitive sense to her in a way that it might not for an adult more removed from the primal architect within. I see this same impulse in Violet whenever we go to the park and she asks me where she can build something that will last forever. Her structures made of sticks and stones by the riverbank, where the groundskeepers will not disturb them, are her way of creating something permanent and visible - her own small monuments to the human drive to make a mark on the world and to shape our environment into a reflection of our inner reality. By exploring the origins of architecture in monuments like the Dolmen de Menga, we can gain insight into the universal human impulse to create meaning, order, and beauty in the built environment. The megalithic structures of the Neolithic period represent some of the earliest and most impressive examples of human creativity and ingenuity applied to the shaping of space and the creation of enduring cultural landmarks. Moreover, studying the astronomical alignments and symbolic significance of ancient monuments can shed light on the fundamental human desire to connect with the larger cosmos and to find our place within the grand cycles of nature and the universe. The incorporation of celestial events into the design and use of structures like the Dolmen de Menga reflects a profound awareness of the interconnectedness of human life with the wider world, a theme that continues to resonate in the art and architecture of cultures throughout history.

What species did humans evolve from? And how many species of early humans were there? Okay, here's some useful information. Humans belong to the only group of hominins. Hominins are part of hominids — you know, like gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and we humans. Back in time, there were multiple hominin species, but all of them magically disappeared, except for humans. Have you heard about the Neanderthals? Nobody else knew about them until 1829, when one Dutch naturalist, went digging around in some caves in Germany. Neanderthals used to live there, and he found out that they were very sophisticated – unlike what most people believe. For example, they made something similar to blankets to stay warm in the cold winter. Neanderthals were the first artists as well! Let's find out more about them and other hominin species.

We tend to take these claims for granted: “Human beings are essentially relational.” “No man is an island.” “We're created for connection.” “We're made for relationships.” And testing the limits of this can be pretty much diabolical. Evan Rosa traces two stories of parental deprivation: Harry Harlow's "Monkey Love Experiments" and the horror of 1990's discovery of Romanian asylums for orphans, documented in the 1990 report "The Shame of a Nation,” on 20/20.Then psychologist Mari Clements (Glenville State College, formerly Fuller School of Psychology) discusses the importance of healthy marriage dynamics for young children's development and how it provides a secure emotional base; the relational imago Dei; the close emotional bonds that must take place early in life in order to provide the relational stability relational creatures need; we talk about important phases of human development, into adulthood; and the theological backdrop to these questions of the human drive and need for emotional connection.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of Blueprint 1543.

Just being together is actually not better for kids. The kids who look really bad are the kids whose parents are engaged in repetitive and nasty and awful conflict. And they're not getting good models for how to solve problems in their own relationships. They're not getting good models for what to expect from marriage.

My chat with Siila Watt-Cloutier so moved me, and she made me think differently. For example, she believes that the trauma we are going through as a Planet and Human Species are the same, and so is the path to healing.  If she were sitting down with me today, I would ask:  If everything on this Planet is interconnected, does that mean we all feel the loss when a species goes extinct, or a fire consumes a forest? You will also have many questions as Silla Watt-Cloutier will open your mind to our planet's realities and told through her gift as an observer, storyteller, and someone who can bring together to bring about change. Siila is one of the world's leading thinkers and doers in preserving our planet and humanity, with a particular focus on protecting the way of life of the Inuit. (I have listed a partial list of her acknowledgements and awards and acknowledgements below.) If you are like me, you will mark so many points of the journey she shares as remarkable. Silla's Indigenous values and lessons are worth considering for how we all live and respect Mother Nature. One that stuck with me is to stop thinking about problems and instead feel them. To act, you must be emotionally vested.  So this is Sillia Watt-Cloutier's remarkable story.  Don't just listen to her words....feel them.  And then share them because we are all in this together. Lindsay Patrick, Head of Strategic Initiatives & ESG at RBC Capital Markets, joins the show. Lindsay is passionate about her and her organization's role in preserving our planet and its inhabitants.

The inimitable Betty J. Kovacs, PhD, joins Julia Marie for a wide-ranging discussion about shamanism. Betty explains why the longest lasting spiritual tradition on our planet also holds the seeds of our collective memory of the Divine and our connection to Cosmic Consciousness.This is an information-heavy episode, so please consider giving it more than one listen. Here are just some of the ideas we discussed - and this only Part 1 of a two-part conversation:The Cosmic Consciousness release valveThe power of communal connection to elevate and expand the collective consciousnessThe wisdom of the San BushmenThe importance of our connection to the natural world and our relationship to the planetThere IS a consciousness that goes beyond everyday life, and we all can access itThere are multiple dimensions of reality and how the Quantum Field = "Spirit"And so much more...Thanks to: Pixabay's Relaxing Time for Relaxing Music Vol12 - 131317 that was used as the music bed for this episode.RESOURCES:Betty's website: Kamlak CenterThank you for listening to Evolving Humans!

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics? What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future? And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity? AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying is true or not. In the wrong hands, AI is a weapon of incredible power, and the dangers are very real. But as you'll see from today's interview, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the potential for AI to dramatically improve our lives and our future. So to bring some optimism to the conversation, I'm pleased to be here today with our friend, Matthew James Bailey, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, international speaker, founder of AIEthics.world, as well as author of the very timely book Inventing World 3.0. This show with Matthew is a doozy. We're chatting about: How artificial intelligence can be used to benefit the human species, both individually and globally Why we should never outsource our sovereignty to a machine Why new fangled brain implants could result in brain shrinkage, loss of cognitive ability, and the deletion of biology How AI can help protect us from deep fakes and untruths (and the importance of authenticating our sources) Why it's important that we define the values, skills and knowledge we want to carry forward for future generations (as well as what we want to leave behind) Ways AI can work as a personal guardian and digital assistant to help us achieve new levels of wellbeing in the future How to use AI and technology as a tool to increase our creative capacity And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/matthew-james-bailey-how-artificial-intelligence-can-benefit-the-human-species/  Head over to AIEthics.world for more from Matthew James Bailey, including his book Inventing World 3.0: Evolutionary Ethics for Artificial Intelligence, more on ethical AI, Research and Development,  Leadership Training, Master Classes, and much more.

Mark Gober Talks About Extraterrestrials Mark Gober started out as a buttoned-down Princeton graduate in the corporate world, but he has written a series of wonderful and eye-opening books on consciousness and related fields. This is his sixth Seek Reality appearance. Mark's first book was An End to Upside Down Thinking – Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life. He followed that terrific book with An End to Upside Down Living –  Reorienting Our Consciousness to Live Better and Save the Human Species. Mark's third book was An End to Upside Down Liberty – Turning Traditional Political Thinking on Its Head to Break Free from Enslavement, and since we don't do politics on Seek Reality, we had to take a pass on that one. But his fourth book is right up our alley. It's called An End to Upside Down Contact – UFOs, Aliens, and Spirits – And Why Their Ongoing Interaction with Human Civilization Matters. Mark's website is markgober.com.

*Arguably the most influential self-help book of all time, Dale Carnegie's bestseller had an immediate impact on publication in 1936, going through 17 editions in its first year alone, and coining a much-imitated phrase. *Still highly popular today, How to Win Friends and Influence People is a paean to integrity and good humor in the name of healthy capitalism, and a touchstone of American self-improvement. *People continue to flock to Dale Carnegie courses and swear by his simple, yet powerful, advice. *In fact, it's said that the only diploma hanging in Warren Buffett's office is his certificate from Dale Carnegie's training course.

Our self-destructive species is acting just like a self-destructive individual: torn between the knowledge that we need to change and our inability to see within ourselves lucidly enough to actually make change happen. We're killing our biosphere, marching toward nuclear war, and playing along with status quo systems for the same reason someone uses heroin, hurts those they love, stays in an abusive relationship, or sabotages their goals: because we are driven to. Reading by Tim Foley.

The word consider derives from Latin considerare, “to look at closely, observe.” Con means “with, together,” and sidus refers to “heavenly body, star constellation.” Observing the marvel of the stars with another is very different from engaging in conflict, “to contend, fight, or struggle.” Conflict summons rigid polarities: for or against, right or wrong, and winning or losing. Significant issues like abortion test our ability to tolerate ambiguity and anxiety without activating the polarizing defenses of judging, moralizing, or demonizing the other. Pregnancy, the archetype of potential life, carries profound emotions--and the shadow of what could be is limitation. Lack of internal or external resources limits our ability to birth many of life's potentials. Bowing to life's limitations also holds potential for conceiving new life. Here's the dream we analyze: “I am in a dressing room/anteroom getting ready for my wedding. My mother steps in and makes some critical remark to me…something along the lines of “you're never ready on time” or “you always leave things for the last minute.” Then she exits, leaving me alone with my father. We are getting ready together for the wedding. I ask him what all the guests are going to do while they're waiting for us, and he reassures me that the rabbi of my synagogue will keep everyone entertained while we get ready. I then hear the rabbi leading all the guests in Jewish songs from outside. Back in the dressing room, my father and I are putting on tuxedos. I take out a box of studs for the tuxedo shirt and lay them out across some kind of table with a soft surface (like a little bed or mattress). The golden studs are spread out across this surface, and I begin to sift through them, but I'm unable to distinguish which studs belong to me and which ones belong to my father -- they look identical. I examine them in the palm of my hand and grow frustrated, being unable to pick out which one is which. Then I realize that I am not clean-shaven -- I have the same stubble that I currently have in my waking life -- and grow even more frustrated, feeling a sense that my parents never leave me enough time to get the things done that I need to get done. Then I wake up, asking myself: Why am I blaming my parents for my own time management problems?” REFERENCES: Katie Watson.

Today's episode is with Chef, Fermenter, Food Scientist, Photographer, and New York Times best-selling author David Zilber. David is the former Director of Fermentation for “NOMA” Copenhagen; known as one of the most coveted restaurants on the planet, and co-author of the New York Times best-selling book, “The Noma Guide to Fermentation”. In this episode, he shares how the power of a nudge can unlock a world of unlimited possibilities, and trusting biological processes beyond instant gratification.   We explore David's multicultural upbringing growing up in Toronto, Canada, along with topics that range from connecting fermentation to everyday life, how photography allows him to tether his curiosity for science and fermentation, and ultimately how he's been able to bloom in the midst of chaos. David's story is one filled with invaluable gems and speaks to the power of leaning into curiosity.  Things mentioned https://www.theworlds50best.com/the-list/1-10/Noma.html ("NOMA", Copenhagen restaurant) https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/ (James Webb Space Telescope) https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/what-is-the-hubble-space-telecope-58.html (Hubble Space Telescope) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point (Lagrange point) What to read https://bookshop.org/books/the-noma-guide-to-fermentation-including-koji-kombuchas-shoyus-misos-vinegars-garums-lacto-ferments-and-black-fruits-and-vegetables/9781579657185 (The Noma Guide to Fermentation: Including Koji, Kombuchas, Shoyus, Misos, Vinegars, Garums, Lacto-Ferments, and Black Fruits and Vegetables) by David Zilber and René Redzepi https://davidzilber.medium.com/inbetweeners-78b194dbb3f8 (Inbetweeners: On the meaning of (re)mediation in mycelial and human worlds) by David Zilber https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/ferm-excerpt/ (Why Fermentation Is So Important To One Of The World's Best Restaurants) https://bookshop.org/books/essays-in-love/9781531871918 (Essays in Love) by Alain de Botton https://bookshop.org/books/the-dawn-of-everything-a-new-history-of-humanity/9780374157357 (The Dawn of Everything) by David Graeber and David Wengrow https://bookshop.org/books/living-planet-the-web-of-life-on-earth-9780008477868/9780008477820 (The Living Planet) by David Attenborough https://bookshop.org/books/on-the-origin-of-evolution-tracing-darwin-s-dangerous-idea-from-aristotle-to-dna/9781633887053 (On the Origin of Evolution: Tracing 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea' from Aristotle to DNA) by John Gribbin and Mary Gribbin https://bookshop.org/books/a-natural-history-of-the-future-what-the-laws-of-biology-tell-us-about-the-destiny-of-the-human-species/9781541619302 (A Natural History of the Future: What the Laws of Biology Tell Us about the Destiny of the Human Species) by Rob Dunn  https://bookshop.org/books/the-anthropocene-reviewed-essays-on-a-human-centered-planet-9780593412428/9780525556534 (The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet) by John Green https://bookshop.org/books/being-a-human-adventures-in-forty-thousand-years-of-consciousness-9781250855404/9781250783714 (Being a Human: Adventures in Forty Thousand Years of Consciousness) by Charles Foster What to listen to https://open.spotify.com/track/0jNTJSaktLVy8iAi7KY2zB (Too Hot) by Kool & The Gang https://open.spotify.com/track/0nyrltZrQGAJMBZc1bYvuQ (Get Up Offa That Thing) by James Brown https://open.spotify.com/track/2grjqo0Frpf2okIBiifQKs (September) by Earth, Wind & Fire Who to follow Follow David Zilber on https://www.instagram.com/david_zilber/ (IG @david_zilber) You can also find his photography https://www.instagram.com/d_c_j_z/ (here).

Deep in the Rising Star Cave system lies a mystery of paleoanthropology: a chamber filled with the bones of Homo naledi. How this species evolved, how it's related to us and other human relatives, and how it got so deep in the caves are among the many open questions researchers are trying to answer, and what they're starting to uncover might mean changing our minds about what behaviors we think of as uniquely human.
