Robert Redford war weit mehr als ein Schauspieler. Er war eine Ikone des amerikanischen Kinos und eine Persönlichkeit, die weit über Hollywood hinaus wirkte. In Klassikern wie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "Der Clou", "Die Unbestechlichen", "Der große Gatsby" oder "Jenseits von Afrika" prägte er Generationen von Kinobesuchern. Redford verkörperte den charmanten Außenseiter, den zweifelnden Helden, den Mann mit Prinzipien, immer charismatisch, aber nie glatt. Er war das Sinnbild einer Ära, in der Kino noch Abenteuer, Romantik und Haltung vereinte.Doch Redford blieb nie bei der Rolle des Stars stehen. Mit dem von ihm gegründeten Sundance Institute und dem Sundance Film Festival gab er dem unabhängigen Kino eine Stimme und schuf eine Plattform, die bis heute für kreative Freiheit und neue Perspektiven steht. Viele Filmemacherinnen und Filmemacher verdanken ihm ihre ersten Chancen, und unzählige Werke, die jenseits von Hollywood entstanden, erreichten dank seiner Vision ein weltweites Publikum.Auch als Regisseur und Produzent setzte er Akzente. Für "Eine ganz normale Familie" erhielt er 1981 den Oscar als bester Regisseur, später brachte er Werke wie "Quiz Show" oder "Der Pferdeflüsterer" auf die Leinwand. Seine Filme zeichneten sich durch psychologische Tiefe, subtile Moral und die Frage nach Verantwortung aus. Qualitäten, die in Hollywood nicht selbstverständlich sind.Darüber hinaus engagierte sich Redford früh für den Umweltschutz, für Bürgerrechte und für politische Transparenz. Er war ein liberaler Kopf, der sich nicht scheute, Missstände zu benennen, ohne laut oder populistisch zu werden. Seine Integrität machte ihn zum moralischen Gewissen einer Branche, die oft von Eitelkeit und Schnelllebigkeit geprägt ist.Robert Redford stand für Kino, das mehr war als bloßer Zeitvertreib: für Kunst, Haltung und die Überzeugung, dass Geschichten die Welt verändern können. Er war einer, der Hollywood Glanz gab, ohne sich selbst im Glitzer zu verlieren.Nun ist Robert Redford im Alter von 89 Jahren gestorben. Damit endet nicht nur eine beeindruckende Karriere, sondern auch eine Epoche, in der Schauspieler noch Legenden wurden, ohne Instagram, ohne Dauerlärm, nur mit Talent und Charisma. Sein Vermächtnis lebt in seinen Filmen, in Sundance und in all jenen, die sich von ihm inspirieren ließen. Eine Ära geht zu Ende, doch die Spuren, die er hinterlässt, werden bleiben.

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.

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? And how does Van Til preserve the absolute ethical antithesis between belief and unbelief without denying shared external reality or meaningful engagement? This is a clarifying and edifying conversation for anyone interested in Reformed theology, presuppositional apologetics, or the legacy of Cornelius Van Til.

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?

"Kunstneren som samfundets vagthund - det er idealet for en moderne kunstner". Sådan udtalte kunstneren Firoozeh Bazrafkan i forbindelse med en høring fra i fjor om den omstridte 'Koranlov'. Mange kunstnere mener, at lovgiverne har genindført censuren og drejet historiens urskive tilbage til en mørk fortid. Men hvordan har kunstneren historisk set på rollen som vagthund? I dagens udsendelse kigger vi nærmere på Danmarkshistoriens måske største kunstner, billedhuggeren Bertel Thorvaldsen, der blev berømt i en tid, hvor kunstneren skulle ære enevældens magt og pragt. Men hvordan kom Thorvaldsens politiske tanker til udtryk i marmoren? Var han monarkens skødehund eller kunne han ind i mellem snerre og bide? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i dagens udgave af Kampen om historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med Hans Erik Havsteen, historiker samt podcastvært på 'Kongerækken'. Redaktør: Silke Fensman.

Námluvy levicových lídryň, šéfky komunistů Kateřiny Konečné a předsedkyně SOCDEM Jany Maláčové, zkrachovaly. Sen o vytvoření široké levicové koalice Stačilo! nevyšel, bude v ní chybět právě sociální demokracie.Kateřina Konečná ve středu oznámila, v jaké sestavě půjde koalice Stačilo! do zářijových sněmovních voleb: její KSČM plus dvě menší, národně konzervativní strany. Tedy bez Jany Maláčové - ačkoliv se obě veřejně měsíce vyjadřovaly, jak moc se chtějí domluvit.Překotné dění na levicové frontě podrobně probírají političtí reportéři Václav Dolejší a Lucie Stuchlíková v aktuální epizodě svého podcastu Vlevo dole.„Mám dojem, že Konečná si s Maláčovou od začátku jen hrála, lákala ji do pasti. Budila v ní falešný dojem, jaký o ni má zájem, ale ve skutečnosti o sociální demokraty nestála,“ myslí si Dolejší. „Šéfka komunistů tím jen vzala SOCDEM čas na restart před volbami. A ještě ji ušpinila koketováním s proruskými komunisty.“Kateřině Konečné se nelze divit, protože po loňských úspěších v evropských a krajských volbách si vyzkoušela, že sociální demokraty vlastně vůbec nepotřebuje. Osiřelá SOCDEM teď stojí před rozhodnutím, jakou strategii zvolit do voleb.„Nevidím už moc dobrých variant a času je málo, vždyť volby jsou za osm měsíců. Sociální demokraté do nich mohou jít sami, ale tak nemají šanci. Nebo se třeba mohou spojit s liberálními levicovými hnutími, jako jsou Budoucnost nebo Idealisté.

When Eoghan Murphy became minister for housing, he wanted to change everything. He wanted to declare housing an emergency. He wanted a constitutional right to housing. He got neither as the conservative elements won out. Instead he became the face of the housing crisis, the minister for homelessness. On a Free State Weekend Special, Eoghan Murphy talks to Dion about failure and dealing with pressure. He breaks down as he remembers the darkest moment when politics turned him into someone he didn't want to be. Dion asks him about his recent book event at the Irish embassy in London with Ryan Tubridy. Murphy also remembers an encounter with Joe Brolly in O'Donoghue's pub but his version has one key difference to Joe's.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

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?

Christmas time is here! (Cue the “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!” music!) It's the end of the semester, and we take a little time to reflect on what we've done and what we've learned this semester. Matt prompts the discussion this week with a two-part question: 1) What gifts did we receive from our students this year? And 2) What gifts would we like to give to educators? We have a lot of great things we have found blessings from our students, from their reflective responses, to their self-knowledge, to their hospitality, welcoming nature, and idealism. We also have gifts we would love to give to our fellow educators, including bravery, collaboration, authentic professional development, and resources for mental health. Thanks, as always, for listening. We appreciate you so much! We hope that this Christmas season is a blessing for you amidst the blur of busyness, friends!  Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

In 1965, New York City was teetering on the edge of an uncertain future, but a Republican congressman from the Upper East Side was determined to save it. Fighting traditional power brokers and machine politicians, John Lindsay improbably was elected mayor that year; his eight years in office became one of the most tumultuous and transformative times in New York's recent history. In part one of a three-part podcast series by Spectrum News NY1, Errol Louis explores John Lindsay's turbulent New York, focusing on his early years in Congress and building up to being elected mayor in a dramatic three-way race in November of 1965.

To conclude our trilogy of interviews with prominent tech journalists to celebrate the upcoming twentieth anniversary of the DLD Conference, today's interview is with David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect and founder of Techonomy Media. In contrast with Steven Levy and John Markoff, whose attitude toward Silicon Valley doesn't seem have dramatically changed, Kirkpatrick's thinking has undergone quite a radical shift over the last twenty years. As he acknowledges, he's been transformed from a Facebook believer into one of its most acute critics. And, in contrast with Levy and Markoff, Kirkpatrick's intellectual attention has also broadened, shifting from the internet to focusing on technological fixes for global warming.David Kirkpatrick is a longtime technology and business journalist, author and media entrepreneur, known for his work connecting technology developments to societal impact and progress. He is an expert on internet companies and social media, and is now focusing especially on climate tech and the climate economy. He is also known for moderating on-stage conversations with tech leaders. Kirkpatrick's bestselling 2010 book, The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company that is Connecting the World, was published in 32 languages, including Catalan and Vietnamese. It was a finalist for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year as well as the Gerald Loeb Award. In subsequent years, he has written extensively about the growing societal harms caused by Facebook/Meta and social media broadly. His articles include 2018's Facing Facebook's Failure for Techonomy, and earlier that same year, The Facebook Defect, in Time Magazine. In December 2023 he published Vinod Khosla Can See the Future: It Just Got Hazy for a Minute in The Information. Kirkpatrick founded and for 12 years led Techonomy Media, which hosted conferences on technology, innovation, business, and their connection to social progress. Techonomy's mission was to highlight ways technology could improve society and human lives. Among his numerous onstage interviews there were Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Benioff, John Chambers, Commerce Sec. Penny Pritzker, economist Jeffrey Sachs, Patrick Collison, DARPA Chief Arati Prabhakar, Sen. Cory Booker, Nandan Nilekani, and Sean Parker. He also has served as a moderator at Burda Media's DLD conference for 19 years, interviewing a wide range of leaders including Mark Zuckerberg. Kirkpatrick worked for Time Inc. for 30 years, mostly at Fortune Magazine, where he was for many years senior editor for internet and technology. Many years earlier, while serving as a copy clerk at Life Magazine, he served as unit chairperson of The Newspaper Guild at Time Inc. He founded and hosted Fortune's Brainstorm conference series beginning in 2001 and for six years wrote its Fast Forward column. At Brainstorm he hosted and interviewed Pres. Bill Clinton, Israeli Pres. Shimon Peres, Senator John McCain, and numerous technology and business CEOs. He was a formal participant and moderator at the World Economic Forum in Davos for 21 years, and for 13 years was a member of the Forum's International Media Council, consisting of 100 top global media leaders. He also served for many years as a contributing editor at Bloomberg Television. He is a recipient of the 2012 Silicon Valley Visionary Award, awarded alongside Elon Musk, Jim Breyer, and Sal Khan. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

One of the most hotly debated terms this century is the word woke. It means to be aware, as in, “I have woke up to [this cause].” Formerly, you were not aware; now, you are. Woke is most often used in the context of what some folks believe are the oppressors and the oppressed: “I am awake to your oppression.” Within this group of woke people, you will find a spectrum of adherents. On one end, there are the innocent idealists, and on the other, there are angry activists.

 Ali Abu Awwad is hard to summarize. He grew up with a mother in the PLO, and served jail time for his role in the resistance during the First Palestinian Intifada. In an Israeli prison, Ali learned the power of nonviolence when he and his mother went on hunger strike to see each other. After his brother was killed by Israeli soldiers, his family met with a group of bereaved Jewish parents. Awwad says witnessing the shared humanity of Palestinian and Israeli mourners "turned his world upside down."  Awwad has been working as a peacebuilder since 2002, and has given talks around Israel, Palestine, and the world. His current work is leading Taghyeer, a Palestinian movement —"to take nonviolent responsibility for self-development and forging a path to end occupation." Awwad says he founded Taghyeer, a "DNA Palestinian movement" to focus on the "homework" needed to lay the foundation for true Palestinian self-governance and an end to Israeli military occupation. In this conversation, Awwad gives us an intimate view of his own inner transformation, and an inside look at Palestinian identity and self-determination. LEARN MOREWatch: An Israeli and a Palestinian talk peace, dignity and safety a conversation with Ali Abu Awwad and Ami Dar, Israeli peace activist and founder of Idealist.org, from TED.Read: “I Don't Want to Resist the Occupation—I Want to End the Occupation” an interview with Ali Abu Awwad in the Nation MagazineRead: Nonviolence Is the Missing Path to Israeli-Palestinian Peace editorial by Ali Abu Awwad in "The Daily Beast"Listen: Ali Abu Awwad and Robi Damelin on Nonviolence as The Path to Freedom for Palestinians and Israelis  on "Unlocking Us" with Brené BrownMusic in this episode by Xylo-Ziko and Blue Dot Sessions. Special thanks to Cloe Shasha Brooks.   ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin, with help from Faith McClure.

Episode Summary:Join us in this enlightening episode as Pastor Jeff Long delves into the intricate nuances of interpreting the Book of Revelation. In a world where preconceived notions often cloud our understanding of the Bible, Pastor Long underscores the importance of recognizing our biases and approaching scripture with a discerning eye. This conversation promises to equip listeners with the tools to navigate Revelation's complex symbolism and prophetic messages.Pastor Jeff Long discusses four main interpretive approaches to the Book of Revelation: Preterist, Futurist, Historicist, and Idealist. Each of these views shapes how one understands the text's prophecies and messages. By examining these perspectives, Pastor Long provides a balanced view, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each. Keywords such as "Revelation interpretations," "biblical prophecy," and "idealist approach" are central to this discussion.Emphasizing the importance of how we read and keep the words of Revelation, Pastor Long argues for an Idealist approach, which sees the prophecies as repeated patterns applicable to the church of any era, including today. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in theology, eschatology, or the practical application of biblical teachings.Key Takeaways:*  **Preconceived Notions:** We all approach the Bible with pre-established convictions that shape our interpretations.*  **Interpretive Approaches:** The four dominant views on Revelation are Preterist, Futurist, Historicist, and Idealist, each offering unique insights.*  **Idealist View:** Pastor Long advocates for an Idealist perspective, seeing Revelation's prophecies as ongoing patterns relevant to believers today.*  **Application in Daily Life:** The call to perseverance and faithfulness in the words of Revelation is not just historical but immediate and current.*  **Maranatha - Imminent Return:** Believers are encouraged to read, hear, and keep the prophecies with the understanding that the return of Jesus Christ is near.Notable Quotes:1. "Your interpretation is your glasses. If you got the wrong ones on, you're seeing something. You're just seeing it skewed or different."2. "If you interpret all of the apocalyptic images as being fulfilled in the first century, then you're denying future predictions."3. "Revelation is looking primarily to the great event of Christ's coming. I think any normal person reading the book is going to see that that's a big deal."4. "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near."5. "You should read it and keep reading it and keep applying it to hear and keep what is written with the thought in your mind. The time is near."Resources:*  No explicit resources were mentioned in the transcript.Encourage yourself to dive deeper by listening to the full episode, where Pastor Jeff Long offers profound insights into the Book of Revelation.
