Podcasts about Hume

Why do we need a nuclear family? What actually determines the difference between a boy and a girl? These feel like brand-new questions, but the ideas that make them askable were actually seeded four hundred years ago. Dr. Jordan Cooper joins us to trace them back to their source.ABOUT THE EPISODE: Lutheran theologian and pastor Dr. Cooper walks Josh through the philosophical roots of the modern progressive mind and the broader philosophy of the left: Descartes and Cartesian doubt, Kant's Copernican Revolution, Hume's empiricism and skepticism, Hobbes's social contract theory, and Thomas Paine's radical individualism, the intellectual scaffolding beneath everything from critical theory to postmodernism. It's the same scaffolding underneath the questions above. Once Hume argues that even something as basic as cause and effect is just an assumption rather than a certainty, and Kant argues that categories like space and time are imposed by the mind rather than discovered in the world, the door opens to treating categories like family and gender the same way: not given, but constructed, and open to being remade.Dr. Cooper's book Makers of the Modern Mind grew out of years doing campus ministry at Cornell, watching students absorb progressive assumptions and secular philosophy they'd never actually examined. Drawing on his background in Lutheran theology and Christian apologetics, this conversation is a guided tour through where those assumptions came from, and why the question underneath almost all of them, in philosophy, politics, and the modern culture wars alike, is simply: what is a human being?0:00 – Introduction1:14 – Dr. Jordan Cooper2:45 – Lutheran Branding Problem4:21 – Makers of the Modern Mind10:23 – Union With Christ Doctrine16:30 – Descartes' Cogito Ergo Sum26:38 – Kant's Copernican Revolution31:33 – David Hume's Skepticism42:35 – Thomas Paine & Liberalism51:21 – Right Vs Left Liberalism56:52 – Applying Philosophy TodayABOUT THE GUEST:

Can organizations trust an AI recommendation when they cannot understand the evidence, relationships, and previous decisions behind it? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome back Jim Webber, Chief Scientist at Neo4j, to discuss the company's acquisition of GraphAware and its move from graph database provider to graph intelligence platform. GraphAware has worked with Neo4j for many years and developed Hume, an intelligence analysis platform used to connect and examine complex information. Bringing the two companies together gives Neo4j a direct role in applications serving police forces, governments, intelligence agencies, and other organizations handling connected data. Jim explains why context has become one of the biggest requirements for dependable AI. Enterprises already possess enormous volumes of data, but facts alone provide endpoints rather than the complete path leading to a decision. An agent needs to understand the knowledge available, the conversation taking place, and the record of previous decisions. It also needs to know which actions produced good outcomes and which produced poor ones. Jim compares these information layers to SimCity. Each can be viewed separately, but their greater value appears when they are combined. Knowledge, conversations, and decision traces can then help an agent understand why something happened and learn from the result. This introduces an interesting lesson from scientific research. Positive outcomes are frequently published, while failed experiments receive less attention. An AI agent needs both. Recording the breadcrumbs behind good and bad decisions provides the material required to improve its future behavior. We also discuss why large language models cannot understand every organization by themselves. Jim describes a model as a lossy compression of the internet. It can generate impressive natural language, but it does not automatically understand a company's policies, customers, history, evidence, or operating environment. Retrieval augmented generation can introduce relevant organizational information into the process. Graph RAG adds relationships between facts, helping the system understand how people, events, products, accounts, and other entities connect. According to research Jim references from the National Innovation Centre for Data, Graph RAG can improve accuracy while reducing costs by using fewer, higher-quality tokens. Explainability becomes especially important when AI supports decisions across policing, cyber defense, taxation, intelligence, banking, and government. A fluent answer may sound authoritative while containing a serious technical mistake. Jim shares an example from his own work where an agent confidently warned him about a "committed minority" inside a fault-tolerant computing protocol. The statement sounded plausible, but only a majority could commit within that protocol. Someone without Jim's technical knowledge might have accepted the recommendation and removed working code. This leads us to human oversight. Jim argues that the correct level depends on the consequences of the action. Automating a routine banking process with monitoring and safeguards may improve the customer experience. Ordering someone's arrest based solely on an agent's conclusion demands human involvement. We also consider digital sovereignty and why control over data has become a strategic concern for governments and large enterprises. Geopolitical instability, overseas technology dependencies, privacy requirements, and changing national policies are forcing leaders to ask where their data resides and whether they can retrieve or move it. Jim explains how Neo4j intends to offer organizations flexibility over where their information is stored and how it is deployed. The discussion also examines the opportunity for Neo4j and Hume to provide an alternative within a market where Palantir has held a powerful position. Looking ahead, Jim imagines intelligence analysts directing swarms of digital agents. Those agents could search data, connect evidence, identify relevant patterns, and present findings while humans retain responsibility for consequential decisions. If AI can connect information at machine speed, how do we ensure the person making the final decision can inspect the evidence and challenge the conclusion? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

From the death of underworld matriarch Kath Pettingill to the tragic killing of Sunshine shopkeeper Van Viet Truong, Melbourne’s crime headlines have felt non-stop lately. At the same time, fire-bombings linked to illegal tobacco are allegedly spilling over into Melbourne’s bars and nightlife. But are these just isolated headlines, or is the face of crime in our city fundamentally changing? ABC Crime Reporter Olivia Jenkins joins us now to make sense of it all. Welcome to Saturday Magazine, Olivia Two men have been charged and one arrested after a joint agency investigation into the alleged movement of millions of dollars in cash from Tasmania to Victoria, suspected to be the proceeds of crime from the sale of illicit tobacco. The action was the result of a long-term Tasmania Joint Organised Crime Taskforce (TAS JOCTF) investigation into illicit tobacco in Tasmania. A 33-year-old from Hoppers Crossing, Victoria, and a 22-year-old from Sorell, Tasmania, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court on 12 August, 2026. Both were charged with knowingly dealing proceeds of crime and recklessly dealing proceeds of crime. They face a maximum sentence of 25 years’ imprisonment if convicted. It is alleged they facilitated the movement of criminal proceeds in cash from Tasmania and Victoria using hire cars and a commercial passenger and freight vessel. Both were bailed to reappear at the court on 2 December, 2026. During the search warrants, officers seized more than $2.5 million worth of tobacco product, more than $1 million in cash, 9kg of silver bars (worth more than $30,000) and one ounce of gold (worth more than $4000). Police also seized five imitation firearms, including a gel blaster firearm, three registered firearms, a .22 rifle and ammunition, a cash-counting machine and mobile devices. The Sunshine Tragedy: Shopkeeper Van Viet Truong (60) died after allegedly intervening in a youth theft outside his grocery store. Five teenagers were charged (a 15-yo with manslaughter has been remanded in custody; others granted bail). Kath Pettingill’s Death (Age 91): Matriarch of the infamous family tied to the 1988 Walsh St police killings. Serves as the historical marker for Melbourne’s “old” underworld—identifiable family hierarchies now replaced by untraceable digital networks. Dating App Arrests: Five teenagers, aged between 16 and 18, have been arrested this week after allegedly using dating apps to lure men before assaulting and robbing them. To date, 47 similar arrests have been made across the state. Police say they have seen similar incidents occur right across the state, “particularly in local government areas taking in Manningham, Casey, Hume, Moorabbin and Knox”.

This is the first episode of our second Deep Dive series, in which we explore the rise and fall of liberal political ideology in the West. Over four episodes published throughout August, we trace how ideas, and the intellectual cultures that produced them, built the world we live in today, and why the abandonment of that tradition is at the heart of the crisis the West now finds itself in.We begin in the 18th century. Europe was gearing up to unshackle itself from centuries of despotic monarchy. The printing press had created an educated, knowledge-hungry middle class that was no longer under the control of traditional religious or aristocratic hierarchies. Philosophers and political thinkers, drawing on foundations laid during the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution, began applying empiricism and reason not just to the natural world but to the political one. The result was a flowering of ideas, from Rousseau, Voltaire and Montesquieu in France to Locke and Hume in Britain, that would transform how the West understood itself and what it believed government was for.In our discussion, Balder and Dario examine why the 18th century matters so much, how intellectualism only becomes politically transformative when it connects with a sufficiently educated and literate mass population, and what the difference is between the ideological debates of that era and the tribal noise that passes for political conversation today. We are, as Balder puts it, more tribal but less ideological than at any point in the past two centuries. The 21st century is not short of opinions. It is short of ideas.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

Maggie Hume was 20‑year‑oldwoman from Battle Creek, Michigan who was found murdered on August 18, 1982, after failing to show up for work. The investigation quickly split between the Battle Creek Police, who suspected her boyfriend Jay Carter, and the Calhoun County Prosecutor's Office, who believed her downstairs neighbor Michael Ronning was responsible. Because the two agencies could not agree on a suspect, the case stalled and was never brought to trial. Today, Maggie is remembered as a kind, dependable young woman whose murder remains one of Michigan's most haunting cold cases. ⁠Click here⁠ to join our Patreon.  ⁠Click here⁠ to get your own Inhuman merch.  Connect with us on ⁠Instagram⁠ and join our ⁠Facebook group⁠.  To submit listener stories or case suggestions, and to see all sources for this episode: ⁠https://www.inhumanpodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on July 14, 2026, was highlighted by a controversial budget reconsideration for public safety, a significant land-use decision in Rio Linda, and various community presentations and administrative approvals.   Budget Reconsideration: Sheriff's POP Team The most contentious item involved the reconsideration of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Recommended Budget specifically to address the Sheriff's Problem Oriented Policing (POP) team. Restoration of Funding: Following a 3-2 vote (with Supervisors Serna and Kennedy dissenting), the Board moved to restore approximately $3 million for the POP team by reducing the county's General Fund contingency. Public Debate: Business owners and community members strongly supported the restoration, arguing the POP team provides vital proactive crime prevention and addresses quality-of-life issues like illegal fireworks and encampments. Conversely, social service advocates and community organizers opposed the move, arguing that the budget should prioritize the "social safety net"—including foster youth services and mental health—rather than "bloated" law enforcement budgets. Procedural Context: The Board emphasized that a broader discussion on the final budget, including the potential restoration of other cut programs like Birth and BEYOND, will occur during the September budget revision.
 Planning and Land Use: Chandra Commons The Board held a public hearing regarding the Chandra Commons Apartments in Rio Linda, focusing on a request to remove 2007 zoning conditions that required the site to be developed as "for-sale" units (condominiums). Developer's Argument: The applicant argued that for-sale units are no longer financially feasible due to high construction costs and a lack of market comparables in the area. Community Opposition: Numerous residents opposed the shift to rental apartments, citing concerns over high density, increased traffic on Dry Creek Road, potential property value decreases, and environmental contaminants from the site's former use as a wrecking yard. Decision: Despite Supervisor Rodriguez's motion to deny the request to protect homeownership opportunities, the Board voted 3-1 to support the staff recommendation, effectively removing the "for-sale" requirement and allowing the developer to proceed with market-rate rentals. Consent Calendar and Administrative Highlights Election Certification: During public comments on the consent calendar, several residents questioned election integrity and non-citizen voting. The Registrar of Voters clarified that all registrations are vetted through a statewide database that confirms citizenship via DMV and Social Security records before information ever reaches the county level.
 Impact Fee Offset Program: A proposal to expand this program for affordable housing was continued to July 28 to allow for the participation of the full Board, as Supervisors Rodriguez and Hume expressed concerns about using General Fund dollars to subsidize private developers during a deficit. Airport Improvements: The Board approved architectural amendments for the Sacramento International Airport, leading to a discussion on finding "efficiencies of scale" by seeking volume discounts for major equipment maintenance, such as chillers, across all county facilities. Mental Health: The Board approved the expansion of school-based mental health programs to 35 additional school sites. Public Hearings and Departmental Reports One-Year Action Plan (HUD): Staff presented the 2027 plan for federal entitlement funding (CDBG/HOME), which estimates $6.55 million for projects focusing on ADA park improvements, pedestrian safety (e.g., safe routes to schools), and senior services like Meals on Wheels. Sacramento Welcome Home: The Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (DCFAS) provided its quarterly report on temporary foster youth stays, noting a stabilization in operations and zero staff injuries this quarter due to enhanced training and a proactive partnership with the Sheriff's Department. Service Assessments: The Board approved annual service charges for Zone 3 mobility programs and Landscape Maintenance District Zone 4, despite a "no" vote from Supervisor Rodriguez regarding the use of road funds to supplement the landscape district's budget gap. Community Recognitions The meeting included a presentation for Parks and Recreation Month, highlighting a new $25 summer annual pass for families. The Board also recognized Probation Supervision Week, with staff and supervisors sharing stories of the department's positive impact on rehabilitation and community safety.   The meeting was adjourned at 6:14 p.m.

Mises's guided reading list of the essential works of liberal thought, from Hume, Smith, and Bentham onward, for readers who want to study the tradition in depth.

Rohan McCloskey refunded $350,000 in donations, gave up his salary for a year, and nearly lost everything. He's still building GoGenerosity. And he'd do it again.That kind of conviction usually comes from one of two places: delusion or proof. In Rohan's case it's the latter. One in six customers at his best-performing store donate every single time they shop. Ninety-eight percent of mystery shoppers said they were more likely to return to a brand running GoGenerosity than a competitor selling the same product. Only one merchant in his ideal customer profile has ever churned, and that was because the merchant's business hit financial difficulty, not because the product failed.Rohan is Founder and CEO of GoGenerosity, a Shopify app that turns small customer contributions at checkout into real goods delivered to charity partners. The model is cleaner than it sounds: a customer adds a $2 or $3 donation at checkout, those donations pool, and the charity receives a gift card at full retail value redeemed in-store. One hundred percent goes through. GoGenerosity charges merchants a monthly SaaS fee on top. Before all of this, Rohan ran three restaurants in Mount Maunganui through COVID, survived, and then decided to start a tech company instead.Today, we're discussing:How the GoGenerosity checkout model works in practice and why 100% of customer donations reach charity partners [05:03]The Hume mystery shopping data: 98% of shoppers were more likely to return to a brand running GoGenerosity than a direct competitor [15:26]Why one in six customers at Rohan's best-performing store donates $5 every single visit, and what two years of that data actually proves [18:07]The no-login product philosophy: why GoGenerosity deliberately has no merchant portal and sends monthly reports by email instead [28:38]Why raising capital too early nearly killed the business and what a two-year enterprise sales cycle actually costs a startup [47:35]What Rohan's psychologist told him on Christmas Day 2023 and how he kept building through a serious burnout [44:16]Connect with Rohan McCloskey | Explore GoGenerosity | Connect with Rosa Willis | Connect with Nathan BushSubscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community 

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 494. This is my interview by Alex Buxeda of at Schweizer Monat [Swiss Monthly; linktree]; recorded June 22, 2026. Youtube shownotes: Stephan Kinsella, patent attorney, legal theorist, and one of the leading critics of intellectual property sits with Alex Buxeda to explore whether ideas can be owned. Starting from first principles, they discuss why Kinsella argues that patents and copyrights are incompatible with property rights, the role of scarcity in economics, innovation without intellectual property, pharmaceutical patents, entrepreneurship, pricing, and the philosophical foundations of ownership. Grok summary: We discussed why intellectual property is fundamentally incompatible with genuine property rights. Stephan Kinsella argued that patents and copyrights are not legitimate property but state-granted monopolies that violate real ownership of scarce, physical resources. He explained that ideas and knowledge are non-scarce and non-rivalrous — one person's use does not prevent another's — so enforcing IP requires aggression against others' tangible property. We explored the flaws in common justifications for patents (especially in pharmaceuticals), the arbitrary nature of IP law, the myth that “creation” grants ownership, and how free competition and open knowledge flows drive far more innovation than government-protected monopolies. Kinsella also addressed the ethics of piracy, the distorting effects of the FDA and tariffs, and why emerging technologies like 3D printing and AI will increasingly undermine IP systems. https://youtu.be/Q4SD8pmpv1U?si=gtx2KN2CcsAbIl5s Related links/publications (Grok assist) For further discussion of the issues raised in this conversation, see the following resources by Stephan Kinsella, grouped by topic: Core Case Against IP & Property Rights Fundamentals Against Intellectual Property (2001/2008) — Kinsella's foundational monograph making the case that patents and copyrights are incompatible with libertarian property rights based on scarcity and homesteading.

Shownotes (Grok) Podcast Shownotes Episode Title: Stephan Kinsella: Why Intellectual Property is Incompatible with Property Rights Guest: Stephan Kinsella (retired patent attorney & libertarian legal theorist) Host: Alex Buxeda Episode Summary Stephan Kinsella delivers a rigorous, first-principles critique of patents and copyright. He argues that IP is not property at all, but a government-granted monopoly that violates genuine property rights in scarce resources. Drawing on Austrian economics and libertarian ethics, he explains why ideas are non-scarce, why IP slows innovation, and why free markets and competition are superior engines of progress. A clear, uncompromising defense of abolishing intellectual property. Total Runtime: ~1 hour 22 minutes Key Topics & Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction and Practical Market Realities Kinsella begins by noting that entrepreneurs can use strategies like loss leaders and price discrimination, but cartels and monopolies are hard to sustain due to competition and cheating — setting the stage for his deeper critique of state-enforced monopolies like IP. 1:00 – Kinsella's Journey from Pro-IP to Abolitionist As a former patent attorney and lifelong libertarian, Kinsella originally accepted Ayn Rand's defense of IP. After deep study while practicing patent law, he concluded that IP is literally unjustifiable and incompatible with property rights. This realization forced him to refine his understanding of libertarian property theory, relying more heavily on Mises, Rothbard, and Hoppe. 4:22 – Core Argument: Scarcity, Property Rights, and Why Ideas Are Not Property Property rights exist solely to resolve conflicts over scarce, rivalrous resources. Ideas and knowledge are non-scarce — one person's use does not prevent another's simultaneous use. Granting IP rights therefore requires using force against others' legitimate physical property (factories, printers, materials), creating artificial conflict rather than resolving it. IP is not ownership of information; it is a negative servitude on real property. 14:55 – The Pharmaceutical Patent Defense and Why It Fails Kinsella directly refutes the claim that expensive R&D requires patents. High drug costs stem primarily from FDA regulation, not invention. Patents create monopoly pricing and slow knowledge diffusion, which is the true source of long-term progress. He criticizes utilitarian “market failure” arguments, arbitrary patent terms, and the state's schizophrenic approach (granting monopolies via patents while attacking monopolies via antitrust). Free markets naturally reward first movers with temporary profits before competition drives prices down. 31:45 – Arbitrariness of IP and the Myth of “Creation” as a Source of Rights Patent and copyright durations are completely arbitrary....

Hume NE summer opener 22062026 by Hume Ministries

Abu and Obssa continue their read-through of Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. This middle third is where the two of them split hardest: one is all in on Zelu, the other can barely stand her. Between them they get into grief, exoskeletons, and who gets to decide what makes someone human. IN THIS EPISODE Zelu's custom exoskeleton, the line "I'm no one's robot," and whether augmentation frees her or just hands people the right to define her body. Two deaths, one in each timeline, and Abu's case that grief reprograms the people left behind for better and worse. In the Rusted Robots strand, an unlikely friendship between a Hume and a Ghost, a loyalty pact at a graveside, and a warning Cross River City doesn't want to hear.

Third Q&A of The Future of Religion. Ilia is back from Germany, the questions came in long and dense, and we ended up doing the thing the lecture had set up. We tracked how the natural-supernatural binary got constructed — Hume locks God out, German biblical critics build the distinction to argue about miracle stories, Huxley grabs the distinction and weaponizes it against the whole of nature. We asked what happens to faith when you realize Jesus would have been perplexed by supernaturalism as a concept. We asked what two million people in the streets of New York celebrating a Knicks playoff win has to do with religion. And we asked what worship would feel like if the people in the pews actually knew what the liturgy was doing. Spoiler — most of them think it is holding the building together until the sermon arrives.   ⁠Ilia Delio, OSF, PhD⁠ is a Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC, and American theologian specializing in science and religion, with interests in evolution, physics, and neuroscience and the import of these for theology.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher, essayist, and historian, David Hume's work A Treatise of Human Nature Specifically it examines his final portion of the discussion, where he turns back to considering the notion we have of personal identity and an identifiable "self" that runs throughout a person's entire life. Hume considers this a fiction and inquires as to how this fictitious idea comes to be in our minds. A significant part of his answer has to do with the main ways in which ideas are associated: resemblance, contiguity, and causality.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher, essayist, and historian, David Hume's work A Treatise of Human Nature Specifically it examines what our conception of identity is for various objects over time, which Hume thinks is actually a fiction created by our own mind out of our perceptions, associating them in relation to each other in terms of resemblance, contiguity, and causation. With various objects we may focus on the proportion of changing parts to a whole, the reference of those parts to some common end or purpose, or on the sympathy of parts in mutual cause and effect.

"The Call of the Wild" was all it took for Lizard Williams to make the trek to the middle of the country and try his hand at road trains. The script was on the side of one of Noel Buntine's legendary Macks in a newspaper article Lizard was reading so he packed the family up in the late 70's, turned his back on the Hume and headed inland to begin a 30 year love affair with some of the country's biggest machines. This is a non-filtered talk about what it took to survive in the bush in one of our funniest and raw interviews to date. Brace yourselves...................

My friend, Clint Freeman, sent me an article this weekIt has to do with Artificial Intelligence and I added it to my “weird news” fileDarin White, “Four in ten Gen-Z and millennial adults say spiritual advice from AI is just as trustworthy as advice from a pastor. One-third of teenagers have talked to an AI companion rather than a human being about serious, personal issues. Thirty-nine percent of Gen Z would skip or delay a doctor's visit if AI told them their symptoms were low risk . . . . And 26 percent of Gen Z adults have engaged in some form of romantic or companion relationship with an AI chat bot.”- this is either scary or silly, but there is another development that is more serious for usWhite, "[In] April, a tech company . . . launched an AI-generated avatar of Jesus that people can talk to, pray with, and seek spiritual counsel from for $1.99 per minute. The avatar was trained on the King James Bible . . . .”- one of the concerns I have about this, is AI is not bullet-proof• I've been reading Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations◦ in chapter 5, he quotes an author without naming him, but claims he was,Adam Smith, “by far the most illustrious philosopher and historian of the present age”◦ I assumed he was referring to David Hume, because he was a friend that Smith admired• when I looked it up, an AI engine immediately popped up and curtly (I felt) reported, "no philosopher is quoted in book 5 of The Wealth of Nations◦ dissatisfied, I searched for the actual quote, and that was in Hume's writings◦ feeling vindicated, I corrected the snobbish AI bot

1996 年 9 月，昆士蘭一位炸魚薯條店的女老闆站在澳洲聯邦眾議院，說澳洲正在「被亞裔淹沒」。三十年後，她的新說法是：「很多新移民自己都支持『一國黨』，因為他們不想讓澳洲變成他們離開的地方。」「一國黨」的民調支持度，一年內由 6.4% 飆升至 31%，首次超越執政工黨。「一國黨」堀起，背後是長期的不滿情緒；住房供應嚴重不足、移民速度持續增加，任何人都能把租金上漲歸咎於新來者；治安議題在恐怖事件後被放大；工黨聯邦預算案被廣泛視為劫持中產業主。紅橋最新 MRP 大型民調預測，工黨中位數 76 席，過半線是 75 席。韓森那句「我不想讓這裡變成我離開的地方」呼應了很多人離港的感受。但一國黨把年度移民名額削至 13 萬的政策，針對所有移民，沒有例外。被主觀情感主導是一般人面對政治問題時最容易跌入的思想陷阱。Q1：一國黨的支持度為甚麼能在一年內由 6.4% 急升至 31%？多重因素疊加：住房供應嚴重不足，移民人數持續增加，租金飛漲令選民有具體的發洩對象；邦迪海灘恐怖襲擊事件令治安議題在情緒最高漲的一個月急速升溫；工黨聯邦預算案被廣泛視為針對中產業主、投資者和小企業主。聯盟黨虛弱，無力承接反工黨票源，一國黨遂成唯一夠大的情緒出口。紅橋5月民調顯示，一國黨在移民議題的處理能力獲 40% 選民認可，遠超工黨的 16%。Q2：韓森三十年來論述改變了甚麼，沒有改變的又是甚麼？改變的是攻擊對象：1996年說「被亞裔淹沒」，2016年換成「被穆斯林淹沒」，2026年改口說「移民自己支持限制移民，因為他們不想讓澳洲變成他們離開的地方」。沒有改變的是底層邏輯：對某一類外來者的系統性警惕，以及將其包裝成保護「普通澳洲人」的政治語言。她從未真正道歉或撤回任何早期論述。Q3：甚麼是 MRP 民調？它的預測對工黨有何警示？MRP（多層回歸後分層分析）以 6,015 名選民為樣本，針對澳洲的優先選票制度建模，比一般民調更能預測選區層面的具體結果。5月底紅橋與 Accent Research 的 MRP 顯示：工黨中位數 76 席（過半線 75 席），一國黨中位數 53 席（由零起計），聯盟黨中位數 12 席。工黨執政多數僅餘一席緩衝。反對黨領袖泰萊在自己的選區 Hume，有 98% 概率輸給一國黨。Q4：青綠系獨立議員討論組黨，這不是自我否定嗎？正是這個矛盾最值得深思。青綠系的政治賣點，是「超越黨派、只向選區負責」。但工黨和聯盟黨聯手推行的選舉資金改革，為個別議員的捐款設上限，對政黨全國性開支則不設限制。兩大黨用制度設計壓縮獨立人士的生存空間，迫使他們用「組黨」這個方式反制。更深層的問題是：一旦組黨，他們的選民授權就從「超越政黨」變成「又一個政黨」，政治賣點從此消失。 This is a public episode.

Landon Loftin, editor of Chesterton and the Philosophers and a speaker at this summer's Chesterton Conference, joins Joe Grabowski to discuss the first book to put G.K. Chesterton in direct conversation with figures of the Western philosophical tradition. Together they trace how G.K. Chesterton's literary and journalistic genius concealed a rigorous philosophical mind that professional academia has been slow to recognize—and why that neglect says more about the academy than about Chesterton. In This Episode: How a peer-reviewed journal's rejection of an essay on G.K. Chesterton and Hume sparked the idea for an entire edited volume Why G.K. Chesterton's best philosophical arguments are embedded in fiction and journalism rather than technical prose, and why that's a compliment to him, not a liability The essay on Chesterton and Aristotle, and how G.K. Chesterton understood virtue as a furious clash of opposites rather than a mild Aristotelian mean G.K.

Joanna Stalnaker is a professor of French at Columbia University and also the author of the books The Rest Is Silence: Enlightenment Philosophers Facing Death and The Unfinished Enlightenment: Description in the Age of the Encyclopedia. Greg and Joanna discuss how Enlightenment figures faced death amid disbelief or tempered religious belief. Joanna says scholars have emphasized 18th-century death rituals more than philosophers' personal end-of-life writings, and she links her interest to growing up with atheist philosopher parents to her earlier work on Enlightenment description, and Rousseau's late writings.  Their conversation covers models like Socrates and Montaigne's, public scrutiny of deaths, last rites, and burial, and tensions between posterity and accepting oblivion. They discuss Hume's death and ambivalence about his reception, Diderot's Seneca-inspired reflections and critique of Rousseau's self-presentation, Voltaire's editing of Meslier and correspondence with Madame du Deffand, Buffon's gradual “ossification” view of dying, salons and letters' role in Enlightenment networks and women's participation, posthumous publication, and the value of literary form for understanding embodied philosophy and equanimity toward death. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: On publishing a book against transhumanism 07:19: I published the book [The Rest Is Silence] that, in a certain sense, it's kind of a book against transhumanism or all these attempts to sort of survive, whether it be through technology or whether it be through spreading one's genetic material by having as many babies as possible. There's this—I see, in our current moment, a kind of denial of death through those various phenomena. Sorates is a model of enlightened death  04:53: Socrates is a model in terms of how to die, what one might call an enlightened death; how to die a philosophical death; and how to face death in a courageous manner, in keeping with one's philosophy. And that was a preoccupation for both David Hume and Voltaire. They were very aware that the public was watching their deaths and that there was great interest in how they would die and whether they would recant their beliefs on their deathbeds. They were thinking back to this model of Socrates, I believe. Can you separate philosophy from the way it is written? 39:04: One of the things that I want to insist on in my work is the fact that we need to take literary form and genre and style into account because it's very difficult. The philosophical ideas cannot be extracted from their form, and I, in this particular book  [The Rest Is Silence], was interested in the question of embodiment because my book is really about them attempting, acknowledging their coming deaths but acknowledging that they lived as bodies, as mortal bodies, and attempting to find a way to express that in writing.

Something broke in the foundations of how we think, and the cracks have been spreading ever since through Western culture, politics, creating a fraying sense of what is real. In this live conversation recorded in Austin, Texas, we sit down with James Ellias of @Inductica to trace the damage back to its source: the moment physics abandoned explanation for mysticism and handed civilization a permission slip for unreality. We move through Kant and Newton, through positivism and quantum superstition, through the collapse of the hero and the rise of the conspiracy, searching always for the thread that leads back out.

Mike talks with director Marcie Hume about making Corey Feldman vs. the World, the ethics of documentary filmmaking, and what it means to capture a subject in freefall.Hume has said the film was never intended as a hit piece, and the documentary bears that out. It presents testimony from Feldman, the Angels, his then-wife Courtney Anne Mitchell, and fans who attended the shows, letting events speak for themselves. What emerges is a portrait of a deeply damaged person caught in cycles he can't seem to break — part tour film, part cautionary tale, and part document of Hollywood's long history of failing the children it exploits.Learn more at https://www.coreyfilm.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

Following last week's conversations with ex-Corey's Angels musicians Margot Lane and Jezebel Sweet, director Marcie Hume joins us to talk about making Corey Feldman Vs. The World, the cinéma vérité documentary that starts as a quirky comeback chronicle and turns into an unexpectedly raw portrait of a former child star wrestling with trauma, ego, and the need to be believed.Marcie shares how she first got access to Corey Feldman, what it was like to embed with him, his band Corey's Angels, and their inner circle over years of on‑again, off‑again filming, and how the story kept shifting as his grievances, paranoia, and yearning for redemption played out in real time on and off camera. She also pulls back the curtain on the ethics of documenting someone who is both a survivor and a deeply unreliable narrator, the pressure from all sides—Corey, producers, fans, critics—to shape the narrative, and why she ultimately chose to keep the camera rolling long past the “hero's journey” arc in order to show something messier, more human, and uncomfortably honest about fame, fandom, and the stories we tell about abuse and accountability in Hollywood.Follow Marcie's journey on Instagram @cfvstw, at YouTube.com/@CFVSTW, and be sure to watch the documentary on Apple TV, YouTube, and Google Play.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of child abuse and sexual exploitation, emotional manipulation, trauma, PTSD, addiction, mental health struggles, and scenes of conflict and controlling behavior.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.
