This conversation explores the intersection of mathematics and human experience, focusing on historical figures, philosophical debates, and the ethical implications of scientific progress. Jason Socrates Bardi discusses his book 'The Great Math War', which delves into the personal stories of mathematicians, the challenges of teaching math, and the relevance of these themes in today's world, particularly in the context of AI and misinformation.Takeaways The personal experiences of mathematicians shape their work. Philosophical clashes in mathematics reflect broader societal issues. Hilbert's optimism about problem-solving parallels today's AI discussions. Historical context is crucial in understanding mathematical developments. Ethics in science must be prioritized to avoid past mistakes. There are limits to human knowledge that we must acknowledge. Mathematics is a fundamental human skill, not just for the gifted. The future of mathematics will be influenced by AI and technology. Understanding historical fallacies can inform current practices. Kovalevsky's story is an inspiring example of overcoming barriers.Chapters 00:00 The Personal Journey Behind The Great Math War 03:08 The Philosophical Clash in Mathematics 05:13 The Great Math War: Key Players and Their Missions 07:38 The Foundations of Mathematics: Paradoxes and Theories 08:55 The Role of Historical Context in Mathematics 10:00 The Human Side of Mathematics: Stories of Resilience 12:36 Ethics in Science and the Modern Age 14:56 The Future of Mathematics and Technology 25:32 The Spectrum of Idealism and Realism 26:13 Understanding Ignoramus et Ignoramnibus 29:04 Neuroscience and the Evolution of Mathematics 33:12 The Future of AI and Consciousness 35:31 Fallacies and Paradoxes in Mathematics 38:31 The Legacy of Sofia Kovalesky 43:10 The Great Math War: A Reflection on Logic and HumanityFollow Jason on LinkedIn, Twitter, and find his new book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

Neoborn Caveman opens with a satirical reflection on life's mutual interactions and unfulfilled expectations, critiquing government and corporate intrusions—like dynamic pricing scams and AI coercion (e.g., Grok's 'hallucinations')—that undermine sovereignty and privacy. NC condemns Minnesota's teachers' union for promoting early sex education (including incest concerns), spotlights Jim McMurtry's Kafkaesque Canadian case, debunks alien/UFO distractions amid elite war games and military resource exploitation, and explores historical injustices through Proclamation 1625's Irish enslavement under British rule, calling for monarch reparations while drawing parallels to African slavery. He emphasizes inner peace over triggered hate, righteous rage for community defense, ethical stances against fake nudes and porn consumption, and affirming personal worth while encouraging blessings to others.Music guests: Sweet Water, pMad, Neoborn CavemanKey TakeawaysSovereignty requires rejecting corporate and political overreach.Political figures' histories (e.g., Keir Starmer's communist ties) reveal hidden agendas and absurdities.Historical enslavements like the Irish demand truthful acknowledgment and reparations from monarchs.Respecting differences builds stronger communities.Affirmations of worth counter societal pressures.Ethical rants: Stop creating/sharing fake images and consuming porn—it's bad for the soul.Independent thought resists manipulative narratives.Sound Bites"We are always forked over by the government, by the agencies, by the corporations and quite often by each other.""Do you think it's really good to encourage children for incest and other things like in Minnesota?""Keir Double Forking Starmer, you know, the communist camp lover.""King James I had this proclamation, ordering the Irish be placed in bondage.""The Irish and African slaves were housed together and were forced to mate.""Everybody's talking about reparations.

Humanity, in all its luminous imperfection, has always been both wound and wonder—a paradox that defines our evolution. To be human is to falter, to forget, to fracture; yet it is through these very fractures that light enters the psyche, as Leonard Cohen once observed. In today's digital agora—TikTok feeds and curated realities—our flaws have become spectacles, pathologized into pathology rather than understood as pedagogy.

Things get cosmic when they discuss conspiracy theories, extraterrestrial life, and the idea that maybe—just maybe—human evolution had some outside help.And you know the MADcast boys can't resist some cultural hot takes: the buzz around Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, the nostalgic return of Hooters under its original owners, and what that could mean for the iconic franchise. Add in insights on relationships, the chase in love and marriage, and the unfiltered banter you've come to expect — this episode has a little bit of everything.

On this fourth day of Paleo Bites-oween, this one on actual Halloween (but don't worry, the celebration of Paleo Bites-oween will last the whole week still) host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Purgatorius, a tiny squirrel-like mammal that seems innocent enough until you learn that it eventually evolved into the most terrifying monster of all… HUMANITY. AAAAGH! Yes, humans are the real monsters. I've read Frankenstein. From the Early Paleocene, this 6-inch primatomorph survived the meteor that killed the dinosaurs and then kept on surviving until it became us. See, it's Purgatorius because up until it survived and evolved into later representatives in the human ancestry, it had a choice between Heaven or Hell, and by choosing to continue to evolve into humans, it chose Hell.

This episode is an invitation to notice where we have confused numbness with pleasure. We've been sold and educated on false pleasure. Pleasure is meant to open us up, not close the door to the world of discomfort and false selves. Exploring why we might have been misled about what pleasure means and why it's an important element right now to help us to stop watering the seeds of the past, including our own past identities.  As we recognize where we are watering the seeds of past identities, we begin to notice our own evolution. We pay attention to the shifts we are ready for, our upgrades and we can truly nurture what is there in each moment. Then, we can turn our brightness to the unlimited nature of our true being. We release with more ease, not closing the door to our discomfort and not prolonging the stay in our divine bodies.  Host Christine shared moving through a recent painful experience and how paying attention to where she might have run a program of numbing out or distracting, instead choosing to allow enough space for the moving through and release of the physical and emotional pain. The experience led to a deeper inner standing of the nature of suffering and how we as humanity are sweeping suffering and it's attached programs from our divine bodies.  Humanity is sweeping suffering  and all manner of falsity off the table  Resetting this world  new community  laid upon a beautiful cloth  woven with golden threads shimmering with pure love Beloved, you are called  from the cave of your heart  back to this root of who you are to join the unlimited feast  ~ (art & poetry copyright Christine Pensa) Much love For more link to our showpage here; artthatmoves.ca

Today's episode is all about something we often take for granted, the ability to communicate: to speak, to share, to connect. My guest, Kay Jones, has spent more than 40 years as a speech therapist, helping people of all ages rediscover their voices and their confidence after challenges that made communication difficult. From children learning their first clear words to adults recovering from strokes or injuries, Kay has dedicated her life to reminding people that every voice matters. Now, after four decades of experience in schools, clinics, and hospitals, Kay is opening a new chapter, quite literally, by launching her own private practice right here in our community! We'll talk about her journey, how the field of speech therapy has evolved, and the deep emotional connection between speech and identity. You'll hear stories of transformation, the science behind speech recovery, and why Kay believes that helping someone find their voice is one of the most rewarding callings there is. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that words have power, and with the right help, anyone can find theirs again.

WHY LISTEN? Because Jeff Pearlman strips away the myth to reveal the real Tupac Shakur—a brilliant, wounded, and fiercely human artist whose story still speaks to America's struggles with family, race, trauma, and truth.Happy Halloween, everyone. To celebrate, we're turning our attention to one of white America's most mythic—and most feared—figures: the hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur. In Only God Can Judge Me, his new Tupac biography, the Los Angeles-based sportswriter Jeff Pearlman reveals both the humanity and the heartbreak behind the myth. Yes, Pearlman concedes, Tupac Shakur was far from perfect. Yet in his music, his movies, and above all his short, turbulent life, Tupac embodied the quintessential American hero—a man who, despite all the injustice and chaos around him, stood up for what was right. Here was someone whom perhaps not even God could judge.1. Tupac's story is fundamentally about trauma, not violencePearlman's biggest revelation wasn't about gang culture or rap feuds—it was about the crushing weight of intergenerational trauma. Watching his hero mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur, descend into crack addiction left Tupac with wounds that shaped everything. “The trauma of having your hero become this thing that's unrecognizable and zombie-like,” Pearlman explains, is what people miss when they romanticize Afeni as simply a “goddess” or reduce Tupac to a “son of a Black Panther.”2. Tupac was a theater kid before he was a gangster rapperBefore Marin City's crack epidemic and Death Row Records, Tupac Shakur was studying at the Baltimore School of the Arts—writing poetry, dancing, and dreaming of acting. He was “this free spirit who lived this beautiful, beautiful life,” Pearlman says. That artistic foundation—not the tough-guy persona—was his authentic self. Actor Jim Belushi told Pearlman that Tupac was on the verge of becoming an Academy Award–winning actor. The gangster image that Death Row demanded wasn't who he wanted to be.3. The book is sad—and that surprised everyone, including Pearlman“I didn't expect this to be a sad book,” Pearlman admits. But every proofreader who read it said the same thing: “God, this book is so sad.” Tupac died young, nearly broke, used by powerful people, and alone in many ways—desperate to be understood and accepted. “Life kind of gobbled him up,” Pearlman says. The mythology of Tupac as an invincible icon obscures the heartbreaking reality of a 25-year-old carrying impossible weight.4. Writing about Tupac as a white suburban sportswriter required radical humilityPearlman acknowledges the cultural distance he had to cross: “It's a weird situation being a white guy who grew up in middle-class rural America writing about Tupac... I never experienced that level of trauma.” His approach wasn't to claim expertise but to listen deeply and interview exhaustively. Along the way, he gained an unexpected education in Southern California gang culture—discovering that many former gang members and drug dealers “are wonderful guys” who “just had different journeys.”5. Tupac would be “absolutely furious” about Trump's America—and probably arrestedWhen asked what Tupac would think of today's political climate, Pearlman doesn't hesitate: “I think 25-year-old Tupac would be horrified, but not surprised.” More specifically, “I can't imagine Tupac Shakur of any age just sitting back” while ICE agents grab people in unmarked vehicles. “I think he'd be 100% getting arrested at ICE roundups,” Pearlman says. As for Biden or Harris? Tupac would probably see them as “corporate shills who don't stand up enough for the people.”Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

AI is not just a distant concept but a force that quietly transforms how nonprofits create, communicate, and connect. The key to successful adaptation of AI technologies is embracing imperfection, letting AI spark direction, structure, and scale, even when the first draft isn't perfect. As the sector evolves by the week, adaptability becomes the ultimate advantage for nonprofits in staying discoverable, relevant, and ready for what's next.    Nathan and Scott open this week's conversation coming live from the Association Philanthropy Healthcare Conference at Aurora, Colorado. They first discuss the striking parallel between today's AI revolution and the industrial revolution, both highlighted by innovation and concentrated power, but unlike in the past, the AI revolution is instant and global. Then Scott shares his perspective on the limitations of AI. As formidable a tool as AI might be, when it comes to sensitive concepts like therapy and reasoning, AI cannot play the full functioning role of a human therapist and make us feel safe, heard, and seen. Furthermore, Nathan talks passionately about finding clarity in a noisy world where you have to slow down and find the intentional stillness where purpose takes shape. He further advises people to find their ‘one thing,' which isn't a luxury but the foundation for future leadership.     Further into the episode, Nathan and Scott also discuss the following topics: the hope of new generations finding the balance between technology and human connection, the importance of staying anchored to personal values, the emergence of new AI technologies, the importance of experimenting and figuring out the potential of AI, the necessity of establishing AI governance policies, and more.       EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS    [02:45] Coming live from the Association Philanthropy Healthcare Conference.   [08:00] AI revolution vs. industrial revolution.  [10:41] Gen Alpha - A “renaissance” of balance between technology and human connection.  [15:50] Limitations of AI as a therapist.   [18:23] Figuring out and staying anchored to personal values.   [22:30] Defining your ‘one thing'.   [27:42] The rise of Artificial General Intelligence.   [35:15] Going beyond the surface level of AI and identifying its potential.   [38:40] The release of ChatGPT Atlas browser.  [43:05] Establishing AI governance policies.   [49:30] Visibility and credibility in the AI era.   [51:00] Smart compose feature in Gmail.   [59:14] Practical adoption, creative process, and balancing efficiency in agentic AI.   RESOURCES    IRREPLACEABLE: The Art of Standing Out in the Age of Artificial Intelligence  by Pascal Bornet  amazon.com/IRREPLACEABLE-Art-Standing-Artificial-Intelligence/dp/1394264402   Connect with Nathan and Scott: LinkedIn (Nathan): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn (Scott): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fundraising.ai/⁠⁠

Humanity has long misunderstood fertility. Part 76 of The Story of Creation is a profound exploration where Michelle reveals that fertility energy is not merely physical—it is the universal mechanism of creation itself. Every idea, curiosity, and intention you hold carries the potential to shape reality. From a universal creation perspective, matter is the final 1–2% of a much larger energetic equation. Everything begins with vibration. When you understand energy before matter, you begin to see that your life, your fulfillment, and even your purpose unfold through curiosity and intention. Michelle uncovers how the human brain has been conditioned to seek satisfaction in the physical, mistaking fleeting pleasure for creation. Yet, true fertility—the energy of existence—comes from your soul's vibration expanding beyond limitation. Through this revelation, you'll understand how human potential is born from freedom, curiosity, and the courage to explore who you are without fear. This episode dismantles the illusion that fertility is limited to reproduction. Instead, it reveals that every aspect of your life—your passions, projects, relationships, and ideas—exists as a reflection of your spiritual evolution. Fertility is the process by which you, as a Creator, bring your inner world to life. Learn how to transform shame into wisdom, rediscover fulfillment through energetic awareness, and understand that all information in existence—past, present, and future—is available through vibration. The history of humanity and existence is not lost; it is written in energy, encoded in your DNA, waiting to be remembered. Watch this exploration to reconnect with the universal truth of who you are: a living manifestation of the Creator's original intention, here to evolve consciousness and restore balance to existence through your participation in creation itself. 0:00 – The Foundation of Universal Creation 2:05 – Understanding Fertility Energy Beyond the Physical 3:50 – How Beliefs Shape Reality and Creation 6:01 – Fertility as the Mechanism of Manifestation 7:33 – The Energy That Creates Matter 10:08 – Misunderstanding Sex and the True Nature of Fertility: The Vortex of Creation Explained 12:10 – Freedom, Curiosity, and Fulfillment 13:28 – Reconnecting to Your Creative Power 14:16 – Why Depression and Anxiety Disconnect You from Creation 15:01 – Curiosity as the Catalyst of Evolution 19:19 – Shame, Secrets, and Hidden Wisdom 20:43 – Energy Holds All Information in Existence 26:33 – Creating Your Legacy 31:46 – Human Potential and the Future of Evolution ✨ Join Michelle and the Universal Council to explore the profound truth of existence, your role in evolution, and the power within your soul.

We are at a dangerous moment in human history. Philosopher and thinker David Korten says, “We stand at a crossroads between two possible futures. In one future, we continue on the path of separation and likely bring the human chapter of creation's journey to an untimely end. In the other future, we find our rightful place as responsible, loving members of the Earth community in an ecological civilization, helping to guide creation's journey into a future of harmony and new possibilities.” The choice could not be more profound. It is, in a real sense, a test of what it truly means to be human.

Turns out medical students are regular humans who happen to need to memorize the Krebs cycle We've all got that mental image of medical students – the type-A perfectionists grinding through textbooks even on the porcelain throne, right? Well, our first-year medical students at Iowa are about to blow up every assumption you've ever had. Turns out the people memorizing a zillion anatomical structures aren't exactly who you'd expect. M1s Chase McInville, Lillian Schmidt, Jonah Albrecht, and Abbie Townsend reveal why your pre-med study plans are probably useless, how a hockey ref's confidence translates to patient care, and why some medical students refuse to study on Saturdays. We explore the real traits that matter (spoiler: it's not being a genius), bust the myth about cutthroat competition, and discover why medical school might actually be more collaborative than your average undergrad group project. Plus, we settle the burning question every pre-med wants answered: can you actually prepare for medical school, or should you just go backpacking in Europe instead? These Short Coats share what non-medical experiences shaped them most, from building houses with Habitat for Humanity to working political campaigns to reffing hockey games to farming vegetables with zero agricultural background. This isn't your typical “day in the life” medical school content. We're talking about the messy reality of learning to learn again, the unexpected diversity of personalities in short white coats, and why the smartest thing these students do might be admitting they don't know everything. The episode ends with the Short Coats working together to hash out the vibes of med student life. Hint: there should really only be five nerves.

Artificial intelligence has changed how we think about service, but few companies have bridged the gap between automation and genuine intelligence. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Puneet Mehta, CEO of Netomi, to discuss how customer experience is evolving in an age where AI doesn't just respond but plans, acts, and optimizes in real time. Puneet has been building in AI long before the current hype cycle. Backed by early investors such as Greg Brockman of OpenAI and the founders of DeepMind, Netomi has become one of the leading platforms driving AI-powered customer experience for global enterprises. Their technology quietly powers interactions at airlines, insurers, and retailers that most of us use every day. What makes Netomi stand out is not its scale but the philosophy behind it. Rather than designing AI to replace humans, Netomi built an agent-centric model where AI and people work together. Puneet explains how their Autopilot and Co-Pilot modes allow human agents to stay in control while AI accelerates everything from response time to insight generation. It is an approach that sees humans teaching AI, AI assisting humans, and both learning from each other to create what he calls an agentic factory. We explore how Netomi's platform can deploy at Fortune 50 scale in record time without forcing companies to overhaul existing systems. Puneet reveals how pre-built integrations, AI recipes, and a no-code studio allow business teams to roll out solutions in weeks rather than months. The focus is on rapid time-to-value, trust, and safety through what he calls sanctioned AI, a framework that ensures governance, transparency, and compliance in every customer interaction. As our conversation unfolds, Puneet describes how this evolution is transforming the contact center from a cost center into a loyalty engine. By using AI to anticipate needs and resolve issues before customers reach out, companies are creating experiences that feel more personal, more proactive, and more human. This is a glimpse into the future of enterprise AI, where trust, speed, and empathy define the next generation of customer experience. Listen now to hear how Netomi is reimagining the role of AI in service and setting new standards for how businesses build relationships at scale.

What does it take to construct humanity's cultural history and what do these efforts produce in the world? In The Politics of World Heritage (Oxford UP, 2025), Elif Kalaycioglu analyzes UNESCO's flagship regime, which seeks to curate a cultural history of humanity, attached to "outstanding universal value" and tethered to goals of peace and solidarity. Kalaycioglu's analysis tracks that construction across fifty years of the regime and maps it onto three distinct visions: humanity as a rarified transhistorical subject, humanity as a diverse subject, and humanity as a subject that is adequately represented by the community of nation states. In each of these constructions, experts and states take up the cultural and historical resources that circulate within the regime to narrate a humanity into being, and position themselves as its adjudicators, contributors and custodians. Each construction comes with remainders, that is, parts of humanity excluded from this cultural history, and internal hierarchies between those at its center and others that remain on the margins.These hierarchies challenge the aspiration to peace and solidarity. While these aspirations have changed across the three iterations of humanity, across the different forms, the regime's structures and participants have been ill-equipped and hesitant to engage with the underbellies of humanity towards robust visions of peace and solidarity. In contrast to this general tendency, Kalaycioglu excavates from select nomination files nested constructions of humanity that hold onto the globality and unevenness of its political conditions and presents the possibility of robust visions of peace and solidarity, and humanity's different futures. Elif Kalaycioglu is Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science at The University of Alabama. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology.

Artificial Intelligence can code, create, and calculate faster than any human—but should it decide what's right? This episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast digs into the essential conversation about ethics and AI, and why the most powerful technology of our time still depends on something only humans have: moral judgment. As AI continues to shape how we live, work, and even think, one question looms large—can we trust machines to make decisions that align with human values? The truth is, AI doesn't have empathy, context, or conscience. It reflects us: our data, our flaws, and our ideals. That's why ethical design isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. In this episode, you'll explore: Why ethics, not algorithms, determine the true impact of AI. How unconscious bias in data becomes bias in technology. The difference between responsible AI and real ethical accountability. What it means to design "good tech" that supports human well-being instead of replacing it. How to stay empowered and intentional in an age of machine decision-making. This is not a fear-based look at AI—it's an invitation to think critically, act consciously, and bring humanity back to the center of innovation. If you believe technology should make us better, not just faster, this conversation will change how you view artificial intelligence and your role in shaping its future.

Ep. 206 (Part 1 of 2) | In this extraordinary, compelling conversation, visionary, activist, and long-time politician, former Governor of California Jerry Brown gets right to the heart of the things that matter most. From truth seeking on an individual level (the importance of inquiring into the depths of our reality), to the challenge of our democracy (getting a consensus in a population that has no coherence), to the problem of leadership (now it's all about winning, which works on the football field but not for international relations), the fear and greed that drive the arms race (we're not talking about the arms issue, and to not talk about it is to be complicit), and the existential danger of nuclear war (as important as it is underreported), Jerry nails the essence of our most pressing issues. Jerry's deep concern about the existential threats we face today, such as nuclear war and climate change, is matched by his enthusiasm for life and excitement over the fact that the future is unknowable. “We have to turn,” he says, “and everyone can contribute to amplifying the turn.” We discover some of the key formative events that shaped Jerry's keenly discerning character, so evident throughout his career and still today in his eighties, and why co-host Roger Walsh describes him as a “force of nature.” This conversation is thoroughly enjoyable, inspirational, eye opening, and disturbing too. “We are on the brink, but no one wants to hear it,” Jerry says. “How do you speak the truth in a way it can be heard?” Recorded August 7, 2025.“We should not sleep in the delusion that things are better than they are.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing former Governor of California, Jerry Brown (00:43)Jerry's Jesuit background and the transformative process (02:29)What shaped Jerry's orientation to life?

What does it take to construct humanity's cultural history and what do these efforts produce in the world? In The Politics of World Heritage (Oxford UP, 2025), Elif Kalaycioglu analyzes UNESCO's flagship regime, which seeks to curate a cultural history of humanity, attached to "outstanding universal value" and tethered to goals of peace and solidarity. Kalaycioglu's analysis tracks that construction across fifty years of the regime and maps it onto three distinct visions: humanity as a rarified transhistorical subject, humanity as a diverse subject, and humanity as a subject that is adequately represented by the community of nation states. In each of these constructions, experts and states take up the cultural and historical resources that circulate within the regime to narrate a humanity into being, and position themselves as its adjudicators, contributors and custodians. Each construction comes with remainders, that is, parts of humanity excluded from this cultural history, and internal hierarchies between those at its center and others that remain on the margins.These hierarchies challenge the aspiration to peace and solidarity. While these aspirations have changed across the three iterations of humanity, across the different forms, the regime's structures and participants have been ill-equipped and hesitant to engage with the underbellies of humanity towards robust visions of peace and solidarity. In contrast to this general tendency, Kalaycioglu excavates from select nomination files nested constructions of humanity that hold onto the globality and unevenness of its political conditions and presents the possibility of robust visions of peace and solidarity, and humanity's different futures.

Is technology the source or salve of social isolation? Given the realities of increasing division, the epidemic of loneliness, and unwanted isolation today, how should we think about the theological, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of the human experience of aloneness?“AI technologies aren't capable of creating conditions in which grace can happen—it's endemic to personhood.”This episode is part 3 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this episode, sociologist Felicia Wu Song joins Macie Bridge to discuss the sociology of solitude, loneliness, and isolation, framed by today's most pressing technological challenges.Drawing from her work on digital culture and AI, Song distinguishes between isolation, loneliness, and generative solitude—what she calls “positive aloneness.” She explores how technology both connects and disconnects us, what's lost when care becomes automated, and why the human face-to-face encounter remains vital for grace and dignity. Together they consider the allure of AI companionship, the “better-than-nothing” argument, and the church's local, embodied role in a digitized age. Song invites listeners to rediscover curiosity, self-reflection, and the spiritual discipline of solitude as essential practices for recovering our humanity amid the noise of the crowd.Helpful Links and ResourcesFelicia Wu Song, Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age — https://www.ivpress.com/restless-devicesAllison Pugh, The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World — https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691240817/the-last-human-jobDavid Whyte, “Solace: The Art of Asking the Beautiful Question” — https://www.amazon.com/Solace-Art-Asking-Beautiful-Question/dp/1932887377Sherry Turkle, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other — https://www.sherryturkle.com/alone-togetherEpisode Highlights“Even though I study technology, I'm really interested in what it means to be human.”“What happens when we have technologies that always bring the crowd? The crowd is always with us all the time.”“Loneliness is the gap between what I think I should have and what I actually have.”“AI technologies aren't capable of creating conditions in which grace can happen—it's endemic to personhood.”“We should cut ourselves a lot of slack. Feeling lonely is very human. It doesn't mean something's wrong with me.”About Felicia Wu SongFelicia Wu Song is a sociologist, writer, and speaker, and was Professor of Sociology at Westmont College for many years. She is author of Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age. Her research examines digital technology, culture, and Christian formation, exploring how contemporary media ecosystems shape our social and spiritual lives. Learn more about her work at https://feliciawusong.com/Show NotesTechnology, Humanity, and SolitudeSong describes her sociological work at the intersection of culture, technology, and spirituality.She reflects on how technology reshapes our sense of identity, community, and human meaning.“Even though I study technology, I'm really interested in what it means to be human.”The question of loneliness emerges from the expectation of constant accessibility and permanent connection.The Crowd Is Always With Us“What happens when we have technologies that always bring the crowd?”Song critiques how digital connectivity erases silence and solitude, making stillness feel uncomfortable.Explores the challenge of practicing ancient spiritual disciplines like silence in the digital age.Connection and DisconnectionSong traces the historical celebration of communication technology's power to transcend time and space.Notes the danger of normalizing constant connectivity: “If you can do it, you should do it.”Examines how connection can become a cultural norm that stigmatizes solitude.Defining Loneliness, Isolation, and Solitude“Social isolation is objective; loneliness is subjective; solitude is generative.”Distinguishes “positive aloneness” as a space for self-conversation and divine encounter.References David Whyte and the Desert Fathers and Mothers as guides to solitude.Youth, Boredom, and the Portal of LonelinessDiscusses the value of “episodic loneliness” as a portal to self-discovery and spiritual growth.Connects solitude to creativity and reflection through the “boredom literature.”AI, Care, and the Better-Than-Nothing ArgumentExamines the emergence of AI chatbots and companionship tools.Engages Allison Pugh's critique of “the better-than-nothing argument.”“It sounds altruistic, but it actually leads to deeper and deeper inequality.”Raises justice and resource questions around replacing human teachers and therapists with chatbots.The Limits of Machine Grace“AI technologies aren't capable of creating conditions in which grace can happen—it's endemic to personhood.”Explores embodiment, dignity, and the irreplaceable value of human presence.Critiques the assumption that “being seen” by a machine equates to being known by a person.AI, Divinity, and ProjectionNotes human tendency to attribute divine or human qualities to machines.References Sherry Turkle's early studies on human-computer relationships.“We are so relational that we'll even take a clunky computer program and give it human-like qualities.”Faith, Solitude, and Social ConditionsSong emphasizes the sociological dimension: environments shape human flourishing.“Let's not make it so hard for people to experience solitude.”Advocates for embodied, place-based communities as antidotes to digital disembodiment.Loneliness, Curiosity, and GraceEncourages gentleness toward oneself in moments of loneliness.“Feeling lonely is very human. It doesn't mean something's wrong with me.”Promotes curiosity and acceptance as pathways to spiritual and personal growth.Production NotesThis podcast featured Felicia Wu SongEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Hope Chun, Alexa Rollow and 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

What is an eco-civilisation? What are its values and what are the frames within which it works? Why do we need it in the first place and what will the Establishment do to maintain business as usual? Most importantly, what can each of us do to live an eco-civilisation into being?This week's guest, Jeremy Lent, explores these ideas in depth in his forthcoming book, Ecocivlization: Making a World that Works, which is due out in May of 2026.  We've talked to Jeremy twice before, first in episode #38 about his award-winning book, The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity's Search for Meaning, and then in #102 about his second book in the series, The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe. Ecocivlisation is the third book in this trifecta and I was privileged to read the pre-proof draft, so I can tell you that it's one of the few genuinely Thrutopian books I've read. It that lays out the iniquities and downright horror of the imperial/colonial system of the Trauma culture - termed Wendigo Inc. in the book - and then brings Jeremy's trademark meticulous research and fluent prose to bear on the ways through to a system in which we all live and thrive and work towards the wellbeing of the entire ecosphere.   Given that there is such detail, I wanted to talk to Jeremy now, so that we could explore some of the foundations - the nature of the existing narratives of Business as Usual, of TINA: There is No Alternative  - and why this is so ubiquitous in spite of being self-evidently untrue.  Then I wanted to look at the broader frame of the Theory of Change proposed here so that next spring we can go into more detail ahead of the book's publication. For those of you who don't yet know him, Jeremy was born in London, has a BA in English Literature from Cambridge University, an MBA from the University of Chicago, and was a former internet company CEO. Now, he is an author, speaker and founder of the  Deep Transformation Network, a global community exploring pathways to an ecological civilization. He is also founder of the nonprofit Liology Institute, dedicated to fostering an integrated worldview that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on the Earth.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Bill Gates' latest op-ed where he reversed his long-standing claim that climate change is a threat to humanity. Turner explains, “Bill Gates is trying to flee the blaze he helped ignite. There's no new science, no new revelation—only a billionaire trying to rewrite his role in the destruction he financed. Gates knows his green crusade has crushed working families with unaffordable energy costs, but now that the political winds have shifted, he wants to act like the voice of reason. The American people won't forget who helped light the fire in the first place.” 6:30pm- During a Senate hearing on political violence, conservative commentator Michael Knowles called out Sen. Cory Booker for his continued support of Jay Jones—a Virginia Attorney General candidate who once called for the death of his political opponent. 6:40pm- MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace claimed that no Democrats have compared Donald Trump to Hitler. Well, here's a two-minute montage—featuring JB Pritzker, Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Hillary Clinton, Tim Walz, Beto O'Rourke, Joe Biden, Dan Goldman, AOC, and Nancy Pelosi—disproving Wallace's claim.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Benjamin Tasker, an AI learning strategist who has applied artificial intelligence to solve real-world challenges in healthcare and education. From predicting cancer risks in rural communities to improving student success rates through early intervention, Tasker has firsthand experience showing leaders how to harness AI for measurable impact.In their conversation, Tasker pulls back the curtain on what executives need to know before chasing the latest AI headlines. He challenges the idea that AI itself is the solution, underscoring that without clean, reliable data, even the most advanced systems will fail — and fail in ways that can damage trust, reputation, and long-term value.The discussion goes beyond the hype to explore the dual responsibility leaders face today: mastering the technical fundamentals that make AI work, while doubling down on the human skills that will differentiate leaders in an AI-enabled world. Tasker shares why empathy, communication, and decision-making under uncertainty will become more—not less—important as AI takes over more of the knowledge work inside organizations.Mahan and Ben also look ahead to the risks on the horizon, including what Tasker calls an inevitable “shock event” in AI — a moment that will test organizational resilience, stakeholder trust, and leadership credibility. The episode is packed with insights for CEOs and senior executives navigating AI's potential and its pitfalls, making it essential listening for leaders committed to staying ahead in a rapidly shifting environment.Actionable TakeawaysHear why jumping into AI without a clear data strategy can undermine your entire initiative — and what leaders must fix first.Learn how Tasker helped predict cancer risk factors using AI and what that example reveals about solving complex organizational challenges.Discover why clean, structured, and trustworthy data is the true competitive advantage in AI adoption.Understand the balance between building AI-related technical skills and strengthening human leadership capabilities.Find out which human skills will define leadership success as AI becomes more deeply embedded in decision-making.Get Tasker's take on the “AI shock” that could change public trust overnight and how leaders should prepare for it.Hear how universities and organizations need to shift from time-based credentialing to competency-based skill validation.Learn the steps Tasker recommends for creating a personal and organizational learning plan to stay ahead in the AI era.Connect with Benjamin TaskerBenjamin Tasker Website  Benjamin Tasker LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
