Episode 193: Here Be Dragons! Show NotesSummary: "Here be Dragons" was a phrase early cartographers (map makers) used on faraway, uncharted corners of the map. It was used to warn people away from dangerous areas where sea monsters were believed to exist. Most view dragons as mythological creatures, but the Bible has a very different view of them, and they are quite real. Let's explore the mystery of dragons!This episode Is brought to you by the following Bible Mysteries Podcast Premium Subscribers or Seekers: Amelia Joan Goodridge, Garrett Thomas, Ian Ayres, Lisa Cattanach, and Jennifer StropeNotes:Dragons: תַּנִּין tannîn (tan-neen') - dragon, serpent, sea monsterdragon or dinosaur sea or river monster serpent, venomous snakeScriptures:All Scripture references are from the King James Version of the Bible. Psalm 148:7-14, Job 30:28-31, Psalm 91:10-13, Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 26:20-27:1, Psalm 44:18-26, Deuteronomy 32:31-34, Ezekiel 29:3-6, Isaiah 51:9-11, Jeremiah 51:33-35, Isaiah 13:19-22, Revelation 18:1-3, Jeremiah 9:1-11, Isaiah 34:1-15, Isaiah 35:3-10, Isaiah 43:19-21, Psalm 74:10-14, Revelation 12:3-4, Revelation 12:7-9, Micah 1:8-9, Revelation 16:12-14, Revelation 20:1-3Takeaway:Dragons are very much real in Scripture and not at all what mythology presents them to be, although there are hints of truth in the legends. Dragons were considered magical creatures and often depicted as winged serpents. In reality, this likely is a distortion of the actual reptilian beings, Seraphim, who, along with Satan, comprise the serpent brotherhood that is at war with humanity and the Lord. Here be dragons, indeed! They will soon be here, cast down and confined to the earth. And woe unto those who will inhabit the earth in that time!Links:https://www.blueletterbible.org/index.cfmInteractive church locator for those looking for a fellowship that teaches certain truths - https://rockharborchurch.net/grow-connect/church-locator/Bible Mysteries Podcast Visit our Website: https://biblemysteriespodcast.com Listen to our Podcast: https://biblemysteriespodcast.comBe a Premium Podcast Subscriber: https://biblemysteries.supercast.comSupport the Ministry: https://secure.subsplash.com/ui/access/BDJH89Contact Us: unlockthebiblenow@gmail.comFollow Us: https://www.youtube.com/c/BibleMysteriesFollow Us: https://www.facebook.com/utbnowFollow Us: https://www.instagram.com/biblemysteries/Follow Us: https://twitter.com/biblemyspodcastFollow Us: https://truthsocial.com/@biblemysteries

My guest today is economist and lawyer Ian Ayres. He is the Deputy Dean and the Oscar M. Ruebhausen Professor at Yale Law School.

On our last episode of Season 2, Ian Ayres, professor of law and of professor of management at Yale University, and Frederick E. Vars, professor of law at the University of Alabama, join us to discuss their new book Weapon of Choice: Fighting Gun Violence While Respecting Gun Rights. In the book, Ayres and Vars outline decentralized and voluntary policies that can be immediately adopted at the state or federal level to prevent gun-related deaths. We discuss the benefit and the possible downside of presuming second amendment rights and pursuing a neoliberal approach to the issue. We also discuss the politics of the proposal, including the professors' lobbying efforts. Additional readings, including any referenced during the episode, are available on our website: DiggingAHolePodcast.com.
The conversation about reducing gun violence tends to be black and white – but one argument says progress has failed because solutions might be found in the gray areas of the discussion. University of Alabama law professor Fredrick E. Vars joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his 10 ideas for state-level policy to promote public safety while protecting gun ownership. His book, co-written with Yale law professor Ian Ayres, is “Weapon of Choice: Fighting Gun Violence While Respecting Gun Rights.”

In the United States, gun violence is in a state of national crisis, yet efforts to reform gun regulation face significant political and constitutional barriers. In this innovative book, Ian Ayres and Fredrick E. Vars put forward creative and practical solutions, proposing legislative reform which will reduce gun deaths. Theirs is a libertarian 'bottom-up' approach which seeks to empower those most at risk by allowing individuals a choice to opt in to common-sense gun regulation for themselves. At the same time, the genius of Weapon of Choice: Fighting Gun Violence While Respecting Gun Rights (Harvard University Press, 2020) is that the proposals do not infringe the individual freedoms of gun ownership protected by the second amendment. Ayres and Vars put forward practical solutions which, where adopted, will cause an immediate reduction in lives lost as a result of gun violence. Their work is empirically grounded and provides a roadmap for legislators and policy makers who wish to keep people safe by reducing gun deaths. Ian Ayres is the William K. Townsend Professor of Law and Professor of Management at Yale University. He is the author of many books, including the New York Times bestseller Super Crunchers. He is a contributor to Forbes, NPR's Marketplace, and the New York Times. Fredrick E. Vars is the Ira Drayton Pruitt, Sr., Professor of Law at the University of Alabama, where he specializes in mental health law. He works with numerous suicide-prevention organizations and is a member of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Gun Violence. Jane Richards is in the final stages of completing her doctoral thesis on the application of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to the insanity defence and its disposition orders at the University of Hong Kong.

In this episode, Ian Ayres, Deputy Dean and William K. Townsend Professor of Law at Yale Law School, and Fredrick E. Vars, Ira Drayton Pruitt, Sr. Professor of Law at the University of Alabama School of Law, discuss their new book "Weapon of Choice: Fighting Gun Violence While Respecting Gun Rights," which is published by Harvard University Press. They begin by explaining that their book explores methods of reducing gun violence that rely on voluntary choice, rather than coercion. Among other things, they propose giving people the ability to voluntarily relinquish their gun rights, which they argue would prevent many deaths caused by suicide. They also offer other proposals that would recognize the right of property owners to exclude guns from their property. This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Federalist Society's COVID-19 & the Law Conference began with a panel discussion on "Government vs. Private Decisionmaking". The panel took place via teleconference on Thursday, June 11, 2020.How should societies respond to pandemic crises, and to what extent has the American response tracked ideal models? The key questions are the extent to which public and private actors take responsibility for actions and how those actors coordinate with each other. What considerations should govern the allocation of public/private decision making in confronting COVID-19? What are the risks and benefits of decisions being made by the government (at all of the different levels of government), businesses, and individuals? What, in the response thus far,has worked and what hasn’t? Do government decisions about what to close down and when to reopen them create serious crony capitalism and public choice problems or in such an emergency will politicians rise above those temptations? What, if anything, does COVID-19 tell us about Medicare for All?Featuring:Prof. Ian Ayres, William K. Townsend Professor of Law, Yale Law SchoolProf. David Hyman, Scott K.

In this episode, we share insights incentives for goal-achievement with Jordan Goldberg, co-founder of stickK. Goal setting can be overwhelming. The average New Year's Resolution is evidence of overzealous goal setting that is unachievable. Jordan Goldberg applies psychology to goal setting, and more importantly, goal completion.

A conversation about the revolution in decisionmaking brought about by large-scale quantitative analysis with Yale law professor and economist Ian Ayres, author of Super Crunchers: Why Thinking by Numbers is the New Way to Be Smart.
Ian Ayres of Yale University Law School talks about the ideas in his new book, Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart. Ayres argues for the power of data and analysis over more traditional decision-making methods using judgment and intuition. He talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about predicting the quality of wine based on climate and rainfall, the increasing use of randomized data in the world of business, the use of evidence and information in medicine rather than the judgment of your doctor, and whether concealed handguns or car protection devices such as LoJack reduce the crime rate. The podcast closes with a postscript by Roberts challenging the use of sophisticated statistical techniques to analyze complex systems.
