“The United States has conducted an unusually ideological foreign policy, an unusually economic foreign policy, and an unusually democratic foreign policy. These three features have been present from the eighteenth century to the present.” — Michael Mandelbaum Is there an “American way” of foreign policy? Does that make the now almost 250 year-old republic unique? Michael Mandelbaum, author of The American Way of Foreign Policy: Ideology, Economics, Democracy, says yes and no. America is exceptional. But that exceptionalism is unexceptional. Mandelbaum says that American foreign policy over the last 250 years has been unusually ideological, economic, and democratic. Foreign policy realists say great powers all behave the same way. Mandelbaum, as an idealist, says: not America. Uniquely in world history, he says, America has pursued its principles overseas without prioritising its political, economic, or military self-interest. And yet The American Way of Foreign Policy isn't triumphalist. Mandelbaum opposed NATO expansion in the 1990s. He was in the anti-Vietnam marches as a Harvard student in the Sixties. Nor is he partial to demonstrations of overt nationalism. His July 4 plans, for example, are to watch baseball. As a lucky man in a fortunate Republic, what better way to celebrate 250 years of independence than to enjoy its national pastime? Five Takeaways •       Three Distinctive Features: Ideological, Economic, Democratic: Mandelbaum's thesis: American foreign policy has differed from the foreign policies of other countries in three enduring ways. First, ideological: political ideas and the effort to spread them have been more important to America than to other powers. Second, economic: America has used economic instruments to achieve political goals — trade, aid, sanctions — rather than the imperial model of using political power for economic gain. Third, democratic: American public opinion has always had greater influence over foreign policy than in other countries. For almost all other countries, for most of their histories, foreign policy was the preserve of a small elite. That was never true of the United States. •       Idealist and Realist: Both Apply: Andrew invokes Kenneth Waltz and the realist tradition, which argues that great powers always behave the same way regardless of their self-image. Mandelbaum's response: realism fits American foreign policy up to a point. America has fought twelve significant wars and has not been oblivious to military power. But it has also conducted idealist foreign policies that cannot be explained by realism — policies driven by its liberal political ideas rather than its material interests. The distinctive feature of American foreign policy is not that it ignores realism, but that it goes beyond realism in ways that other great powers have not. •       NATO Expansion: Mandelbaum's One Big Regret: In the 1990s, Mandelbaum was opposed to the expansion of NATO, alongside George Kennan — one of the architects of Cold War containment. His fear: it would do a lot to alienate Russia. He acknowledges that he cannot blame NATO expansion explicitly for the Russian attack on Ukraine. But he notes that the fear was reasonable and that, as he puts it, alas, it has come to pass. He does not think that the Russian attack was inevitable or that NATO caused it. But he does think the warning was worth issuing and that it deserved more serious consideration than it received. •       Vietnam and the Antiwar Movement: Was It Counterproductive? As a graduate student at Harvard under Stanley Hoffmann, Mandelbaum was opposed to Vietnam and took part in marches. He has since revised his views — not on whether Vietnam was a mistake (it was) but on whether the antiwar movement had any positive effect on the course of policy. His conclusion: it probably didn't, and may have been perverse. Nixon used the antiwar movement as a foil. The war ended because most Americans decided it was costing too much in American lives — not because the goals were wrong. That was the democratic aspect of American foreign policy in action. •       Israel, Gaza, and the American Way: Andrew suggests that Israel has been able to push America around, and that this is “un-American.” Mandelbaum pushes back firmly. America supports Israel for two reasons: strategic advantage (Israel as a bulwark against threats to American interests in the Middle East) and shared values (Israel is the only country in the region that shares American political values). When interests diverged — the 1980s anti-aircraft arms sale, Obama's Iran deal — America went its own way. The reverse is also true: America doesn't have the capacity to push Israel around in Gaza, because for Israel these are matters of national survival. About the Guest Michael Mandelbaum is the Christian A.

“He didn't just say it, he meant it, he felt it — and the combination of the power guy, the ruthless power guy, and the profound idealist was fascinating, and also hard for him.” — Evan Thomas on Bobby Kennedy Who was the greatest riddle in 20th century American political life? Judging from the ever-expanding library of Bobby biographies, Robert Francis Kennedy ranks very high on that list. Indeed, according to Evan Thomas, one of RFK's most acclaimed biographers, this third Kennedy son is, indeed, the most sphinx-like riddle in 20th century America. In his classic 2000 biography, Robert Kennedy: His Life, Thomas unravels the good and the bad Bobby. But, rather than presenting parallel narratives, his portrait treats the Machiavellian and the idealist as the same riddle. Raised by his father to exercise raw power, RFK discovered that mid-century America wasn't living up to its own ideals. The contradiction of the ruthless Kennedy machine politician and the profound idealist was what continues to make him so intriguing to Americans of every political stripe. Bobby concurred with Churchill's dictum that courage is the greatest virtue because, without it, you can't have the other virtues. So he lived a life of ridiculous physical and moral courage — taking insane risks that would terrify ordinary mortals. And, of course, his most insanely courageous act was his last — running for President in 1968 knowing that he was likely to be assassinated. Where have you gone, Bobby Kennedy? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Five Takeaways •       The Central Paradox: Power Guy and Idealist in the Same Man: Bobby Kennedy was raised by his father to be the henchman of the Kennedy machine — doing the dirty stuff in Boston politics to keep Jack floating free and grand. He was pretty ruthless about it. At the same time, in mid-century America, he discovered that the country was not living up to its own constitution, and he wanted to make things right, and genuinely felt it. The combination of the machine politician and the profound idealist was what made him so endlessly fascinating. It also made him hard for himself: a man permanently at war with his own nature. •       Courage: The Only Word That Mattered: No word was more important to Bobby Kennedy than courage. Churchill: it's the greatest virtue, because without it you can't have the others. Kennedy believed in physical courage, emotional courage, mental courage. He was a runty little kid at the wrong end of the dinner table — Jack and Joe and Kick at the golden end with the father, Bobby with the nuns and the mum. He got kicked out of prep school for cheating. He was not the athlete, not the golden one. Real courage comes from suffering. It took courage just to overcome being the loser. That was the source. •       Making Up for Missing the War: Physical and Moral Courage: Bobby missed World War Two, basically. He got in at the very end and ended up scraping the deck of a destroyer in the Caribbean, far from combat. His brother Jack is a war hero on steroids — PT boat cut in half by a Japanese destroyer, rescues his men, written about in The New Yorker and Reader's Digest. Joe volunteers for a secret dangerous mission to replicate Jack's glory and dies. Pretty high bar of courage. Bobby spends the rest of his life making up for it — swimming the Colorado River, climbing Mount Kennedy in the Yukon, jumping overboard off the coast of Maine to save Jack's jacket. Sometimes stunts. But increasingly, moral courage — which is the greater thing. •       The Mob, Joe Kennedy, and the Beehive: When Bobby starts poking around in the mob as a Senate aide, J. Edgar Hoover is only too happy to point out: keep going here, you know where it's going to end up. With Joe Kennedy. Bobby's investigation of Giancana and Frank Sinatra starts grazing against his own father. Thomas's reading: whether conscious or unconscious, there is an element of rebellion. Bobby, appointed henchman, doing the dirty stuff for pop, resenting it, starts poking the beehive that might expose him. It never fully landed. But it started. And Hoover used it to blackmail the Kennedys. •       The Ripple of Hope, and RFK Jr. as Tragedy: Bobby's trip to South Africa — apartheid everywhere, the freedom movement barely existing, everybody in prison. His speech: every time somebody does something brave or heroic, it causes a ripple, and that gives you hope. A young Margaret Marshall, later Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, was in the audience. He gave us hope where there was none. That is the ghost Andrew went looking for at Hickory Hill and didn't find. The contrast with RFK Jr. is, for Thomas, simply sad. Poignant. His own family has disavowed him. Caroline Kennedy made a broadcast accusing him of crimes. The idea of Robert Kennedy Jr. is tragic. About the Guest Evan Thomas is an American writer and historian. He was Washington bureau chief of Newsweek for ten years and a writer and editor there for thirty-three years. He is the author of ten books, including Robert Kennedy: His Life (Simon & Schuster, 2000), Being Nixon, Road to Surrender, and, with Walter Isaacson, The Wise Men. He has taught at Harvard and Princeton. His biography of Churchill is forthcoming from Simon & Schuster in December 2026. References: •       Robert Kennedy: His Life by Evan Thomas (Simon & Schuster, 2000). •       The Wise Men by Evan Thomas and Walter Isaacson (Simon & Schuster, 1986) — referenced in the closing. •       Robert Coles — Bobby Kennedy's psychologist friend, referenced in the conversation. •       Hickory Hill, McLean, Virginia — the Kennedy family home Andrew visited on this trip to Washington DC. •       Bobby Kennedy's “Ripple of Hope” speech, University of Cape Town, South Africa, June 6, 1966. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Episode 2.107In this episode, Michael and Zach close out their End Times 101 series by tackling one of the biggest questions surrounding the book of Revelation: how are Christians actually supposed to read it? Rather than jumping immediately into timelines, raptures, or the millennium, the discussion focuses first on the interpretive frameworks that shape how believers understand Revelation in the first place.The episode explores Revelation as apocalyptic literature, prophecy, and a letter written to real churches facing real persecution. From there, Michael and Zach walk through the five major interpretive approaches to Revelation—Preterist, Futurist, Historicist, Idealist, and Eclectic—explaining the strengths, weaknesses, and theological assumptions behind each view. Along the way, they discuss how symbolism, historical context, genre, and chronology affect interpretation and why faithful Christians often arrive at different conclusions.The conversation also connects these interpretive methods to broader end-times systems such as dispensational premillennialism, historic premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism. Throughout the episode, the emphasis remains pastoral rather than speculative: Revelation was not written to produce fear or obsession, but to anchor believers in the victory and sovereignty of Christ. Whatever view one ultimately holds, the central message remains the same—Jesus wins, evil loses, and God will make all things new.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/bJVVzgSSj00Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Chris joined me for a conversation on Friedrich Schelling & German Idealism! In spite of his prominence, Schelling tends to be underdiscussed in popular philosophy circles when it comes to the German Idealist tradition. In this episode, we talk about his essay Philosophical Inquiries into the Essence of Human Freedom, the dialectic of potencies that develops out of nature-philosophy, and the relation of Schelling's ideas to those of his school friends at Tubingen - two gentlemen you may or may not have heard of, named Hegel and Holderlin. The three of them were enthusiastic about the French Revolution, and planted a "freedom tree", around which they danced and sang "Hen Kai Pain" - "One and All" - the watchword of Hellenistic pantheists. Schelling's late lectures were attended by everyone from Kierkegaard to Burckhardt to Engels to Bakunin; his views on myth (centering on Apollo and Dionysus) likely influenced Nietzsche, and his notion of the dark ground as a ceaseless impulsive striving echoes in the work of Schopenhauer. At the end of the episode, we have a brief discussion about Chris' thoughts on Deleuze, a philosopher he has drifted away from, and some of the pitfalls of post-structuralist thinking.Christopher, on how to read Schelling's Freedom Essay: https://epochemagazine.org/77/freedom-god-and-ground-an-introduction-to-schellings-1809-freedom-essay/Papers Referenced: Exceeding Reason: Freedom and Religion in Schelling and Nietzsche by Dennis Vanden AuweeleNietzsche, German Idealism and Its Critics (DeGruyter)

The structure of a society is the sum of the different kinds of agency different kinds of people exercise. Here we tell a story of the rise of the current intrigue-riddled, paranoid state of the world by examining the roles played by four individuals. Each is a case study in a distinct political personality. One, Noel Field, who we will call the Idealist: a pious Quaker activist whose naivete entangled him in a plot that got a truly astonishing number of people tortured and killed. Two, C. Wright Mills, who we will call the Renegade: a motorcycle-riding sociologist whose 1956 book The Power Elite informed subsequent revolutionary movements. Three, John F. Kennedy, who we will call the Celebrity: a man who was no stranger to Dark Triad traits, but who lacked the monumental propensity for deception of his rivals in the national security establishment. Four, Allen Dulles, who we will call the Councilor: a man who lacked the charisma of true celebrity, but who ultimately succeeded in his power struggle with Kennedy. We examine how people with extreme psychologies can often outmode others because of their very rarity, enabling them to concoct strategies no one sees coming. And, using cross-species comparison, we see how psychological traits vary so massively in part because there really is no evolutionary optimum, contradicting the idea of species-typical psychology—and by extension, species-typical social structure. 

Cold War Series. Episode #1 of 4. In this episode, we uncover the extraordinary story of John Scott, a twenty-year-old American idealist who abandoned the University of Wisconsin during the Great Depression, taught himself to weld, and boarded a train for the Soviet Union. He would spend nearly a decade in Magnitogorsk, Stalin's new “City of Steel” in the Urals, building blast furnaces, marrying a Russian woman, and slowly, painfully watching his idealism curdle under the pressure of Stalinist terror. His memoir, Behind the Urals: An American Worker in Russia's City of Steel, is one of the most remarkable eyewitness accounts of Soviet industrialization ever written— and it tells us as much about the seductive power of Cold War ideology as it does about steel.

Majda Širca je avtorica nove monografije o naši legendarni igralki Mileni Zupančič. Knjiga je izšla v seriji knjig, ki jih skupaj z nagrado Ita Rina za življensko delo, izda Društvo slovenskih avdiovizualnih igralcev. Kot piše v utemeljitvi nagrade Ita Rina za življenjsko delo, je Milena Zupančič v skoraj 60-letni karieri ustvarila eno najobsežnejših in najbolj prepoznavnih igralskih poti v zgodovini slovenskega filma. Neizbrisen pečat je pustila v filmih, kot so Cvetje v jeseni, Vdovstvo Karoline Žašler, Moj ata, socialistični kulak, Idealist, Panika in Srečen za umret. V svoji karieri je posnela več kot 60 filmov, od tega 25 celovečercev.

Óscar Restrepo je kot mladenič opozoril nase z dvema pesniškima zbirkama, zdaj pa že nekaj desetletij išče svoj glas in nadaljevanje poti, neguje vzvišene ideale in kot k pijančevanju nagnjen, pretežno brezposeln in ločen obstranec životari pri ostareli mami. Ko je zaradi dolgov prisiljen prevzeti učiteljsko službo, spozna med učenci izjemno nadarjeno dekle iz favele, ki piše pesmi iz lastnega veselja. A njegovi načrti, da bi jo vpeljal v svet pesniškega establišmenta, ne gredo v skladu s pričakovanji. Kolumbijski celovečerec Pesnik (Un poeta, 2025), ki ga podpisuje Simón Mesa Soto, je divja, dinamična in duhovita satira, ki se sprva osredotoča na splošno prepoznavne, celo stereotipne like vsake umetniške scene, a skoraj neopazno preraste v sijajen prerez družbe. V naslovni vlogi strastnega, tudi inteligentnega, a nespretnega in nesrečnega pesnika blesti naturščik Ubeimar Ríos, za katerega je to prva in za zdaj edina filmska vloga. Pesnik predstavlja posrečeno karakterno študijo, povsem v skladu z znamenito Heraklitovo tezo, da je človekov značaj tudi človekova usoda. V ta filmski organizem, lahko bi rekli tudi anamnezo ali diagnozo, je vpletena še kriza srednjih let, narava odvisnosti, pretvarjanja kot neizogibnega družbenega maziva, svojo vlogo igrajo socialne razlike in izkoriščanje, kar avtor sopostavi z iskanjem lepote, resnice in presežnega v človeku. Vse to bi kajpak zlahka vodilo v pripoved, ki bi nasedla na čereh pretencioznosti, vendar se jim Simón Mesa Soto ves čas mojstrsko izogiba. V temelju gre za strukturo, ki je dobro poznana tudi nam: Óscar Restrepo je pravzaprav Cankarjev Martin Kačur, ki ga je Igor Pretnar leta 1976 ekraniziral pod zgovornim naslovom Idealist; le da je Mesa Soto v primerjavi s Cankarjem duhovit oziroma z bohotnimi odmerki črnega humorja prekriva bolečino propada in dobrih namenov, ki jih družba nekako dosledno potepta. V čustvenem poskusu krpanja očetovskih vezi oziroma razmisleku o naravi ustvarjalnosti pa bi bil film lahko tudi oddaljen bratranec Sentimentalne vrednosti (2025) Joachima Trierja – zanimivo, obe deli sta slavili vsako v svoji sekciji lani v Cannesu. In če smo že pri Cannesu, prihaja na misel tudi tamkajšnji veliki zmagovalec Barton Fink (1991) bratov Coen. Skratka, umetniška scena zelo rada gleda in nagrajuje filme o umetniški sceni in o kronični odtujenosti ustvarjalcev od tako imenovanega »malega človeka«. Celovečercu Pesnik uspeva do vseh teh nastavkov vzpostaviti ironično distanco, hkrati pa je pretresljivo iskren in se polomijam svojega protagonista nikoli zares ne posmehuje. Znak zrelega avtorja in eden od biserov sodobne latinskoameriške kinematografije.

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 2: An Elevator for Small Children. We talk about the quiet places of discouragement, and self-reliance that keep us striving instead of surrendering. We also reflect about how radical dependence on God is not laziness, the subtle ways we resist being little before a loving Father, and how our poverty is a doorway into deeper trust. This week, we invite you to fall into the Father's arms, allow Him to pick you up, and rest in the One who delights in you.   Heather's One Thing - The Prince of Egypt Movie  Sister Miriam's One Thing - Bishop Erik Varden's Lenten Reflections to Pope Leo (I especially recommend the reflections entitled: Bernard the Idealist, God's Help, Becoming Free, and Splendour of Truth) Michelle's One Thing - Art Lectio Instagram Account   Journal Questions: Where are you feeling discouraged? Where do I experience self-reliance, codependency, or hypervigilance in my life? When in the past have I made agreements that I have to rely on myself and fix everything?  Where am I living out a pattern of childhood wounds and identities?   Discussion Questions: How have you experienced failure this Lent?

"Uważam Grzegorza Brauna za polityka bardzo pragmatycznego, a nie idealistę. Wybiera sobie tematy, które uważa, że mu posłużą" - mówił w Porannej rozmowie w RMF FM Tobiasz Bocheński - europoseł Prawa i Sprawiedliwości. Zarzucił też liderowi Konfederacji Korony Polskiej oszukiwanie prawicowych wyborców.

So hart gesellschaftliche Umbrüche für die direkt Betroffenen sind: Kämpfer, Bürger, Mitläufer, Täter, gibt es zusätzlich Kollateralgeschädigte, die wir nicht vergessen wollen: die Connaisseure der im Umbruch unvermeidlich untergehenden Kulturprodukte, der originären Kunst der überwundenen Verhältnisse. Hechelte man als Zoni Prä-89 noch jedem Hauch subversiven Kunstwerks hinterher: das nur im Westen erschienene Buch, der Film, der es gerade so durch die Zensur geschafft hatte und als kompromittiertes und meist ziemlich langweiliges Stück Zelluloid mit den immer gleichen Schauspielern deutlich braver war als erwartet, interessierte all das 1990 niemanden mehr. Dreißig Jahre später bekommt mich selbst ein guter Kundera kaum hinter dem Ofen hervor, sorry, Radim, zu viel Neues, Interessantes ist zu lesen, zu verstehen.Das gleiche Phänomen könnten wir nun, fünfunddreißig Jahre nach dem Mauerfall in den USA beobachten, wo aus einer fehlerhaften Demokratie ein waschechter Polizeistaat gemacht werden soll und keinen Redneck, keine Bluestate-Intellektuelle oder gar oppositionelle Politiker scheint es groß zu interessieren und wenn sie mal den Anschein erwecken, bleiben sie ratlos im Angesicht der Faschisten, als ob es keine Erfahrungen gäbe, wie mit solcherlei Vandalismus umzugehen sei.Das ist furchtbar für alle, die nicht weiß genug sind und von frisch angeheuerten Schergen der Ausländerbehörde ICE auf offener Straße entführt werden, furchtbar für die Angehörigen der Engagierten, die beim Versuch, das zu verhindern, erschossen oder schwer verletzt werden.Wie bekomme ich jetzt bloß die Kurve zur Kunst?Fangen wir noch mal an: War es das mit der liberalen Demokratie in den USA? Kommt jetzt der Polizeistaat von New Hampshire über Minnesota bis San Francisco? Und: war der nicht schon immer? Fing es nicht mit dem Sheriff an, damals, vor zweihundert Jahren, der den Bandenführer eigenhändig aufknüpfte, statt auf den Friedensrichter zu warten, der den Schänder am Ende freispricht? Und ließ zur selben Zeit nicht sein Kollege in den Südstaaten die Rollos runter, weil vor seinem Fenster der Plantagenbesitzer einen Sklaven teeren und federn ließ, weil sich seine Tochter in ihn verknallt hatte und die beiden abhaun wollten? “Was ist neu an Polizeiwillkür?”, kann man fragen.Neu ist die Haltung, vertreten von der amtierenden Regierung, dass das alles genau so in Ordnung war und gerne wieder so sein soll. Selbst im grimmigsten Western der die Geschehnisse verarbeitet, kommt am Ende der Friedensrichter und tadelt den Sheriff, damit der Zuschauer weiß, wo law her- und order hinkommt. Und 1861 wurde vom Norden ein ganzer Bürgerkrieg losgetreten, damit die Lynchjustiz im Süden ein Ende habe. Heute korrumpiert die Regierung die Justiz und erklärt zur Legende, dass es im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg um die Abschaffung der Sklaverei ging, erklärt stattdessen in Republikanischen Bundesstaaten eine Mindeheitenmeinung zum Curriculum, die versucht den Bürgerkrieg zum Kampf um die Rechte von Bundesstaaten zu machen.“Ok,” so die Frage, “wir sehen den Umbruch, aber was hat das mit der amerikanischen Kultur zu tun?”Die Antwort: “Rambo I - First Blood.”Der Vietnamrückkehrer Sylvester Stallone wird dort von einer Horde selbstgerechter Dorfbullen mit viel Munition und wenig Skill in Grund und Boden geschossen und es ist von Anfang an klar, auf wessen Seite man steht, wer der Gute ist, wer die Bösen sind. Und das wäre heute anders! Denn da bezeichnen Trump & Co. den auf offener Straße hingerichteten Krankenpfleger im Veteranenkrankenhaus, Alex Pretti, als Aufständigen, als Unruhestifter, als “would-be assassin“ gar. Nichts davon ist wahr. Die dummen Bullen aus Rambo I sind an der Macht. Das versaut den Filmgenuss, zu krass ist das Umkippen der Realität und kein Happy End in Sicht.Nun ist der Spin des ersten Rambo-Films - Hero: gut, Bullen: böse - ja eher ungewöhnlich. Normalerweise sind die FBI-Beamten clever, der Sheriff gutmütig mit Schmerbauch und großem Herz, und der Anwalt gewieft, wie er das Justizopfer raushaut. Aber, leider, auch so herum funktioniert die Kulturverlusttheorie: der ganze s**t ist vor dem Hintergrund von ICE-Konzentrationslagern und dem sinnlosen Erschießen von Bürgern einfach nicht mehr konsumierbar. Zumindest geht mir das so. Denn selbst wenn sich Kunstschaffende nicht dem Diktat der gesellschaftlichen Stimmung beugen (wie sie es im Allgemeinen wenigstens versuchen) und weiterhin die Heldenepen von Law und Order singen, die nötige kognitive Dissonanz, um das vergnügt zu konsumieren, kann ich nicht aufbringen.Ein paar Beispiele:Der letzte Reacher war nicht nur schlecht geschrieben, auch inhaltlich ist er nicht mehr haltbar. Wie kann man dem Buch die Story abnehmen, dass die Korruption im militärisch-industriellen Komplex durch den heldenhaften Einsatz moralisch aufrecht gehender Muskelpakete gestoppt werden kann, im Angesicht von Oracle, einem Privatunternehmen, das über die Jahre fast eine halbe Milliarde Dollar an die aktuelle Regierung spendete und im Gegenzug der US Air Force ihre Cloud verkauft? (Wer denkt, das sei ein Verlustgeschäft, hat das mit dem Technofeudalismus noch nicht verstanden.)Und selbst der letzte Michael Connelly, ein Lincoln Lawyer Thriller, der sich um die Verantwortlichkeit von AI Firmen für ihre Produkte und deren Konsequenzen kümmert und bei dem natürlich der gute Anwalt gewinnt, wirkt unglaubhaft, wenn sich die vorbildgebenden Firmen mit Millionenspenden an ihren Tanzbär passende Gesetze kaufen, die genau das im richtigen Leben verhindern. (Immerhin ist das Buch gut geschrieben und für ein solches Thema exzellent recherchiert).Gefühlt rutschen hier zwei Drittel der amerikanischen Popkultur in die Spalte “unlesbar”. Was bleibt da noch zu konsumieren? Vielleicht sowas:Oberflächlich nicht ganz so Fun wie ein brainless thriller von Lee Child wäre da zum Beispiel dieser Klassiker von Joseph Wambaugh: “Hollywood Station“. Erschienen in 2006, erzählt er als Episodenroman aus dem Alltag im titelgebenden Revier stationierter Streifenpolizisten. Das Ganze spielt Anfang der 2000er und die LAPD steht immer noch unter Beobachtung, nach den Misshandlungen Rodney Kings und den anschließenden Unruhen im Jahr 1992. Wir sagen zunächst “richtig so” und lernen sofort, dass nichts im Leben so eindeutig ist, wie man es auf dem Plenum, respektive am Tresen, postuliert, selbst hier in Germany. Die Lebensrealität so manchen Fußballfans jeglicher Vereinsaffilität ist das zustimmende Hochhalten der A.C.A.B.-Tapete samt obligatorischem Unvergessensgesang, um auf dem Weg vom Auswärtsspiel zum Bahnhof dann doch ganz froh zu sein, dass zwischen ihr und den Hansa-Idioten eine Hundertschaft steht. In dieser Hundertschaft steht dann so mancher gewaltbereite Neonazi, ein einzelnes schwarzes Schaf, keine Frage, absolut, das sagt ja auch die Polizeigewerkschaft, und neben dem faulen Apfel so mancher Idealist, der einfach der Fußballoma den unversehrten Nachhauseweg garantieren will. Dieses Spektrum, in letaler, erlebt die Los Angeleser Streifenpolizistin mit ihrem Partner in den seedy Hinterhöfen des Hollywood Boulevard und wir aufgeklärten Linksversifften müssen ein bisschen hart im Nehmen sein, wenn wir die Meinung der “boots on the ground” so ganz ungefilter zu lesen bekommen: Meinungen, nein: Urteile, man könnte fast sagen: Vorurteile, zu Minderheiten, zu Politikern, zu politischen Aktivistinnen, die wir glattweg als “rassistisch” abtun können, aber wenn die Meinungshabende dann vom schwarzen Pimp ein Auge ausgeschlagen bekommt und wir das alle haben kommen sehen, hinterfragen wir uns dann doch ein bisschen ergebnisoffener und exakt das ist es doch, was Literatur leisten soll. Ich als erklärter Todfeind der Kurzgeschichte bin natürlich gehandicapt ob der Struktur des Buches, aber da sich die Ministories am Ende zusammenfinden, ist das annehmbar. Es war die Zeit von “Smoke” und “Coffee and Cigarettes”, da konnte Joseph Wambaugh gar nicht anders.Deutlich neuer ist das (fast) Erstlingswerk des in den USA lebenden Tschechoslowaken Alexander Boldizar: “The man who saw seconds...”. Es ist noch nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt (er schreibt auf Englisch), aber das wird kommen, das Ding hat Preise gewonnen, es ist prädestiniert dafür, in einen erstklassigen Hollywoodthriller portiert zu werden und es ist frappierend aktuell, beginnt es doch mit einer klassischen Episode von Polizeiwillkür und endet in… man darf nicht spoilern, man darf nie spoilern, aber hier bei diesem Buch ist es noch verbotener als sonst. Nie wurde ein Buch geschrieben, welches von einem unrechtmäßigen Polizeistop in der New Yorker U-Bahn so exponentiell eskaliert. Man fragt sich alle Absätze, wie weit der S**t noch gehen soll, was denkt sich Boldizar als nächste Eskalationsstufe aus und man liegt immer daneben. Es ist ein “blast” in allen Wortsinnen und es ist, wie gesagt, hochaktuell.Hoffen wir, dass diese beiden Beispiele nicht die letzten einer untergegangenen Kultur sein werden. Ja, die, nennen wir sie: “Polizeikultur” in beiden Wortsinnen, als gelebte Handlung und als geschriebene Verarbeitung derselben, war nie frei von Dingen, die man kritisieren konnte, musste und vielleicht haben wir, und, wichtiger, die Amerikaner das nicht getan, was zweifellos zum heutigen Klima in den USA führt. Aber, sie war fun, sie war spannend, sie war interessant und man hatte als Europäer immer den bequemen Platz im Ohrensessel, von dem man aus sagen konnte “Ne... diese Amis, das könnte hier nie passieren!” und vielleicht nehmen wir die Ereignisse im beschriebenen und realen “Dort” zum Anlass, dass das “hier” auch so bleibt. Wenn der Preis dafür ist, dass man mal wieder ein anderes Genre lesen muss, bezahle ich den traurig grummelnd. This is a public episode.

Pragmatisch idealist Johannes van den Akker over 'Wij zijn de Tijden' by Haarlem105

What is the idealist interpretation of the book of Revelation? How is the idealist interpretation different from other ways to interpret the book of Revelation?

“If they want to put on my tombstone ‘The Last Idealist', that's fine,” the iconic (and I don't use that word lightly) American journalist Ray Suarez tells me. But even Suarez's idealism was tested by Trump's America in 2025. It was a “jaw-dropping” year, he tells me, astonishing for a veteran journalist like Suarez. In some senses, he says, America has reverted to being a 19th century colonial power. So what happens when you “repeal” the 20th century? For all his idealism, Suarez is a realist, particularly in economics. So it's worth noting his warnings about the “devils of inflation” in 2026 which he sees as a likely consequence of Trump's economic populism. Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Let's dig deeper into today's question by exploring five additional questions about Christ's upcoming return.     1.    Will Christ actually return in the flesh? Yes, Jesus will actually return in the flesh. Here's some words from the angels. Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."  Coming back the same way He left. At the Mt of Olives, visibly, physically to reign.     2.    How will every eye see Him? We live in a unique age where we can witness things around the world in real time. Revelation 1:7 "Look, he is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see him, even those who pierced him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of him." So shall it be! Amen." (See also - Daniel 7:13 and Zechariah 12:10) What seems impossible will be a reality, we all will see Him.     3.    Why so many different interpretations of Christ's return will be like? There are basically 4 views of Christians of the Book of Revelation:     ⁃    PRETERIST - everything in the book of Revelation was fulfilled for those 1st century believers.      ⁃    HISTORICIST - What the book of Revelation does is it tracks Christian history until the very end of time when Christ returns.     ⁃    FUTURIST - say what the book of Revelation portrays is the events that are yet to come and will happen in the last days of our planet's history.     ⁃    IDEALIST - maintain that what the book of Revelation does is it gives us timeless truths and principles that have always been true and will be until Jesus returns.     4.    Why all the different views. Who is right? Pastor posses a "what if": What if they are all right? What if God intentionally gave this so that people of every age would see what needs to be seen to stay close to Him.     ⁃    PRETERIST -  what if the book of Revelation really did have remarkable application to the 1st century believers     ⁃    HISTORIST - What if the book of Revelation does track the Christian history til Christ returns     ⁃    FUTURIST - What if the book of Revelation will be fulfilled in some future ways.     ⁃    IDEALIST - What if the book of Revelation applies in every age because what it says is timeless and true. God is brilliant - He can and does brilliant things! Differing interpretations doesn't make the Bible unclear - it means that God is amazing!  Common Beliefs of each differing view:     ⁃    Missionary Age - great commission     ⁃    Great tribulation      ⁃    Rapture     ⁃    Millennium     ⁃    Physical return of Christ     ⁃    Resurrection of the dead     ⁃    New heavens and New Earth Early believers put together basic statements of the fundamentals of the Bible. Examples Nicene Creed says, "I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come." and the Apostle's Creed says, "I believe in… the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting." They chose short summations of basic agreed on biblical beliefs and leaving out the details, acknowledging the wide diversity of interpretation around what Jesus' return will look like and because we will find out the details when He returns. The first advent Jesus came as a humble servant and laid down His life for us all. For His second advent Jesus comes in glory!     5.    What are the sign of the times that indicate the eminent Second Coming of Jesus?  Signs of the times:     ⁃    Gospel to the entire world Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."       ⁃    Persecution, apostasy & deception Matthew 24:9-11 "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. "At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many."     ⁃    Warfare, earthquakes & famine - Mark 13:8 "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." What we have observed since Jesus' first advent, these signs are closer together.     ⁃    Israel's return  Luke 21:24 "They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." About 40 years after Jesus spoke these words in 70AD they happened and now in 1967, after nearly 1900 years, the Jewish people have returned.  In Matthew 24:42 we are told by Jesus, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." How do we stay awake?  We keep our eyes on Jesus! The Savior of the world. God is for us! He's coming back and the day is fast approaching! May we trust the Lord Jesus with all our hearts and rejoice in the salvation He won for us at the cross as a gift by faith. Now What?

UnHerd's Freddie Sayers brings together two starkly opposed voices on the Ukraine war and the future of world order: John Mearsheimer, University of Chicago professor and leading realist, and Matthew Syed, Sunday Times columnist, broadcaster and author.Mearsheimer has long argued that NATO expansion and Western policy blunders set the stage for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. From a realist standpoint, he warns that Russia's position is essentially non-negotiable and that Ukraine must cut a deal now if it is to avoid further devastation. For Mearsheimer, ignoring the hard facts of great-power politics and clinging to Western rhetoric risks only catastrophic escalation.Syed sees things very differently. In a recent Sunday Times column, he criticised the West's handling of Ukraine, from the failed Alaska summit. He accused Western governments of failing Ukraine and directly attacked Mearsheimer's realist position as “morally deranged” and fatally weak. For Syed, only moral clarity and Western resolve — not accommodation with Putin — can change the course of the war.In this debate, Freddie Sayers asks: Is realism just disguised defeatism? Is idealism dangerously naïve in the age of Trump, Putin and Xi? And, after the White House summit with Zelensky, does the West finally have a coherent strategy — or is Ukraine still being left to fight alone? Hosted on Acast.

Revelation, the Apocalypse of John, is the last book in the Bible, and for many, it's the most difficult. Through the ages, followers of Yeshua have taken the Revelation football and run with it in just about every conceivable direction. This second part of our series on the end times, features D. Thomas Lancaster, author of the forthcoming End of Days Torah Club study track, and together we'll discuss the various approaches Christian interpreters have used to try to decipher the book of Revelation. We'll pull the curtain back a little bit to reveal what we can expect this fall as our Torah Club students encounter a Jewish approach to interpreting John's apocalyptic visions.

What does it mean to dream of peace through sport? In this inspiring conversation, we sit down with award-winning author and Olympic historian George Hirthler, the literary voice behind The Idealist, to explore the life and legacy of Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games.From Coubertin's visionary belief in the power of sport to unite the world, to the untold stories behind the 1896 Games, George shares how he became the guardian of Olympic ideals—and why they matter more than ever today.Whether you're a lifelong Olympic fan, a student of history, or simply curious about the philosophy behind the rings, this episode will rekindle your belief in the Olympic Movement's higher purpose.

In this expansive episode of Psychedelics Today, Joe Moore sits down with author and cultural theorist Daniel Pinchbeck to explore the evolving—and increasingly contested—role of psychedelics in society. From the hopeful spirit of transformation that animated earlier psychedelic movements to the sobering reality of biotech, branding, and political entanglement, Daniel offers a candid diagnosis of where we are—and where we might be headed. Reflecting on Psychedelic Science 2025, Daniel discusses the event's stark shift toward commercialization and industry influence. He contrasts this with his earlier work on Evolver, a movement that sought to integrate psychedelics with permaculture, alternative economics, and cultural awakening. Together, Joe and Daniel examine how the field's idealistic origins have been increasingly subjected to capitalist co-option. They also dive into deeper philosophical terrain—discussing monistic idealism, Rudolf Steiner, and the suppression of mystical and paranormal dimensions in the push to medicalize and sanitize psychedelics for mainstream acceptance. Daniel warns of the dangers of ignoring the shadow, including psychic fragmentation and what he calls "entity attachment" from ungrounded use. The conversation ranges from tech billionaires on ketamine to the geopolitical threat of authoritarianism, the weaponization of AI, and the quiet complicity of many in the psychedelic space who avoid political engagement. Daniel shares his current projects, including his Substack newsletter and a new seminar, Breaking the AI Barrier. This is a timely, unflinching exploration of psychedelics as both medicine and mirror—revealing the best and worst of our collective intentions. Can we reclaim the visionary potential of these tools from the grip of capital and control?

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey is joined once again by Lane Tipton and Carlton Wynne for a substantive follow-up to their earlier discussion of Keith Mathison's Toward a Reformed Apologetic: A Critique of the Thought of Cornelius Van Til. In the months since their first review, Dr. Mathison published a blog response, prompting deeper analysis and clarification. Together, Drs. Bucey, Tipton and Wynne explore key critiques Mathison levels against Van Til, especially the claims of epistemological idealism and the so-called “omniscience requirement” for true knowledge. The panel addresses these concerns with thoughtful care, highlighting Van Til's emphasis on covenantal epistemology, the distinction between psychological and ethical knowledge, and the non-neutrality of unbelieving thought. The episode also tackles Mathison's treatment of common grace and the antithesis—core concepts in Van Til's apologetic system. Does Van Til teach that unbelievers attain true knowledge by way of common grace? What is the actual function of common grace in a fallen world?

Ami shares candid insights into why nonprofit mergers rarely happen, systemic challenges in nonprofit funding, and how this merger creates a single hub for millions seeking jobs, volunteer opportunities, and meaningful community involvement.

Big questions covered in this conversation: Why did Idealist.org and VolunteerMatch.org decide to merge, and what unique value does this merger bring to nonprofits and volunteers?

How are systemic funding issues impacting nonprofit efficiency and accountability, and what changes are needed to improve nonprofit outcomes? What trends are shaping volunteerism today, and how can nonprofits better harness the desire for community engagement and purpose-driven work? How can nonprofits leverage emerging technology and AI, and what role can the nonprofit sector play in providing meaningful human purpose in an increasingly automated world?

When you become a relational idealist, when you begin to believe in others, you're not free from wounds. Jesus was betrayed by a kiss, so don't be surprised when you are. And I can make the world better when I believe in people. Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. When God believes in you, you start becoming what he sees in you. You have to actually learn how to celebrate with others. It's really, really easy to like people when they're doing poorly. Last year when our company collapsed, I had so many people who liked me. It's so much easier to be a friend when that friend has a world that's falling apart. But when the world thins out, the world has to celebrate your success. This is what the economy of God is like. We like people when they are in the same condition as usual or worse. But we don't like it when people seem to get what they got by working less or got more than we got by not earning it. Why is it easier to celebrate your success when someone else has failed?
