Z míst se stávají ne-místa, non-lieu, jak zní výraz francouzského etnologa a antropologa Marca Augého. Toho cituje Charles Taylor, jeden z nejvýznamnějších myslitelů současnosti ve své nové knize Cosmic Connections (2024). Příkladem takového nemísta je pro Taylora letiště. Je místem bez kulturního a historické zakotvení. Procházejí jím lidé z nejrůznějších koutů světa. Různosti je zde tolik, že se převrací v homogenitu. Vše má být bezprostředně srozumitelné, ideální je komunikovat gesty, jakmile se u přepážky začne mluvit, značí to problém. Nejlépe mlčky ukázat pasy, sundat boty, vyprázdnit tašku, nazout boty – a zmizet.Čím to, že Charlese Taylora zajímají tolik letiště? Podle tohoto kanadského myslitele se vlivem moderní globalizace proměňuje celý svět v jednu velkou letištní halu. S globalizací jde ruku v ruce i specifické porozumění člověku. Taylor hovoří o zapouzdřeném individuu. Takový člověk je přesvědčený o tom, že vše podstatné nosí v sobě, a může být tudíž kdykoli kamkoli přesazen. Je to bytost bez kořenů.Jenže tahle koncepce je chybná na několika rovinách. V Taylorově pojetí je člověk spíše bytostí žijící z přesahů. Vyrůstáme z něčeho, co nám nepatří – jsou to druzí lidé, na nichž závisíme, kultura, která je naší duchovním prostorem, ale vyrůstáme rovněž v sepětí s přírodou, jíž jsme součástí a která nás zároveň přesahuje. Máme-li dostát tomu, že jsme od narození takto „rozprostranění“ a „porózní“, musíme uznat, že místo je pro nás podstatné. Zdůraznit potřebu místa přitom není žádný provincialismus. Problém je opak. Jakmile pozbudeme zakotvení a provedeme „mcdonaldizaci“ všeho a všech, nakonec zjistíme, že žijeme v pustotě letištní haly – a podle Taylora je příznačné, že na letištích bloudí lidé se skelnýma očima, jsou unavení i vystresování zároveň.Ve své nové knize Cosmic Connections však autor nenavrhuje uzavřít se do své partikularity a z domova vytvořit vězení. Spíše vychází z toho, že vše dobré začíná doma, především kultivace citů. Láska k bližním, starost o okolní krajinu, porozumění vlastní kultuře, perfektní znalost rodného jazyka – právě to je východisko, jediné východisko, k uznání a uctění druhých lidí i cizích kultur. S kořeny lze totiž unést i nepochopení a cizost, aniž by ji člověk démonizoval. Kdo zná dobře vlastní kulturu, bude tím spíše schopen uznat hloubku kultury jiné, třeba ji i obdivovat, aniž by nezbytně vznášel nárok na její dokonalé porozumění. Druzí, z jiné i vlastní kultury, si v sobě zkrátka nesou něco posvátného – k čemuž patří to, že jim nikdy dokonale neporozumíme a nejsme schopni je převést na něco vlastního, učinit je transparentními. Ale právě nežádat po druhých absolutní srozumitelnost znamená uchovat jejich posvátnost i důstojnost.KapitolyI. Duchovnost silou k životu [úvod až 14:50]II. Základ mého díla?

“The three ills of democracy that I propose to address with this method, which we've perfected over the last several decades. Democracy is supposed to make some connection with the "will of the people." But how can we estimate the will of the people when everyone is trying to manipulate it?”James S. Fishkin holds the Janet M. Peck Chair in International Communication at Stanford University where he is Professor of Communication, Professor of Political Science (by courtesy), Senior Fellow of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, and Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. His work focuses on Deliberative Polling, a process of deliberative public consultation that has been conducted more than 150 times around the world. He is the author of Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?, Democracy When the People Are Thinking (OUP) and other books.“Deliberative democracy is itself, when properly done, a kind of democracy that can speak to the interests of a community.

“The Pitt,” which recently began streaming on Max, spans a single shift in the life of a doctor at an underfunded Pittsburgh hospital where, in the course of fifteen gruelling hours, he and his team struggle to keep up with a seemingly endless stream of patients. The show has been praised by lay-viewers and health-care professionals alike for its human drama and its true-to-life portrayal of structural issues that are rarely seen onscreen. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz parse how “The Pitt” fits alongside beloved medical shows like “E.R.” and “Grey's Anatomy.” While the new series upholds many of the tropes of the genre, it's set apart by its emphasis on accuracy and on the daily struggles—and rewards—of laboring toward a collective goal. At the heart of “The Pitt” is a question that, in 2025, is top of mind for many of us: does the for-profit medical system actually allow for humane care? “Faith in these institutions has eroded,” Schwartz says. “At the low point of such faith and trust, what happens to build it back?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The Pitt” (2025-)“E.R.” (1994-2009)“Grey's Anatomy” (2005-)“This Is Going to Hurt” (2022)“House” (2004-12)“The Bear” (2022–)Doctor Mike's YouTube channelSteveoie's YouTube channelNew episodes drop every Thursday.

The structure of the U.S. health care system, particularly employer-sponsored insurance, is significantly impacting the economic well-being of most Americans.  In this episode, Zack Cooper, Associate Professor of Public Health and Economics for Yale University, examines the drivers of rising health care costs and their impact on individuals and the economy. He highlights the disconnect between Medicare and private insurance spending, the role of provider market power in driving up prices, and the surprising link between health care costs and job losses for lower and middle-income workers. Zack explains that rising health care premiums lead companies to reduce payroll, disproportionately affecting workers earning between $20,000 and $100,000 annually. He argues that employer-sponsored insurance contributes to income inequality and suggests potential policy solutions such as broader insurance markets, eliminating employer-sponsored insurance, and stronger antitrust enforcement in the health care sector. Zack also touches on the debate between single-payer systems and market-based approaches, emphasizing the need for greater efficiency and value in health care spending.

Shodhin Geiman is Sensei & Abbot at Chicago Zen Center and recently retired Senior Research Professor at Valparaiso University. He has written on aspects of the Dharma and on points of interface between Buddhist and Christian spirituality. His book, Alone in a World of Wounds: A Dharmic Response to the Ills of Sentient Beings (Cascade Books, 2022). Another, Obstacles to Stillness: Thoughts, Hindrances, and Self-Surrender in Evagrius and the Buddha (Fortress Press, 2023), came out in 2023. He is currently working on a book exploring the intrepid fearlessness of bodhisattvic aspiration. In this conversation we explore his views on Dharma and Activism and Engaged Buddhism as developed in his critical take on both, Alone in a World of Wounds. We discuss; 1. His two books on practice. 2. The concepts of deliverance of mind and non-adherence in the practicing life. 3. The unfashionable practices of patience and forbearance and why they matter. 4. Why mixing Buddhism and activism is not all it is cracked up to be. 5. The inherent problems with trying to serve two masters and the impact this has on dharma practice. 6. The Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizekis critique of the New left and activism and the call to stop and think before acting. 7. How the desire to fix the world runs in tandem with the desire to fix ourselves and how both are so deeply rooted in American Buddhism. 8. Kant and sublime objects. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour two of DJ & PK for August 15, 2024: What is Trending Hot Takes or Toast Social Media is a cesspool 

Knowing how to buy right is the key to not losing money. When you paid the right price in the first place, you can better weather mistakes and sustain unaccounted for market conditions. One of the ways to achieve this is to buy off-market, direct-to-seller deals from ma and pa sellers. Whether you're buying single family homes or commercial properties, direct-to-seller deals are the way to avoid overpaying in a competitive marketplace.

Love is seeing you. It's saying, 'it won't be long now. Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! -Amos 9:13-15 The Message (MSG) You just keep remembering where those things are coming from. You give thanks deeply, because you know Who they're coming from.  Like Rumi says, 'Do you want the sweetness of food or the sweetness of the one who put sweetness and food? The one who brought you here is still here. Give up fear. Give up this idea of lack, how can you lack when He's here? How can you hunger when He's here? How can you be lonely when He's here? That's all hypnotism. Everything that would have you believe He's not here, is hypnotism.  (everything that would have you believe that He is here, is also hypnotism, but we'll save that for another seeming day!)  I Love you nik  Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "Meditate and become absorbed so that people will sense the 'ras' (Divine sweetness) in you, then you will have success." - Anandamayi Ma "As the heavenly water begins to surge from the spring deep inside us, it spreads and expands our whole inner being and gives rise to ineffable blessings. The soul herself cannot even understand what is unfolding here. She senses a certain fragrance, we could say, as if within the depths of her being there were burning coals sprinkled with sweet perfumes. We cannot see the light or locate the source of the fire, but the sweet-smelling warmth permeates the whole of the soul and maybe even spreads into the body. Try to understand what I'm saying. We don't actually feel heat or smell an aroma. The experience is far more delicate than that. Even if you have not gone through these things yourself, you must know that they really do happen. The soul perceives and understands this more clearly than my mere words could ever express. No matter how intensely we may crave spiritual delight, we cannot acquire it through our own efforts. It is not forged of the same metal that we are but is made from the purest gold of divine wisdom." - St. Teresa of Avila "Divine God and Guru, Give me the patience To wait quietly For spiritual sweetness." - Isha Das "To the degree that love for the Lord warms the human heart, one finds in the Name of Jesus a sweetness that is the source of abiding peace." - St. Seraphim of Sarov "You must learn to repeat the blessed Name of Rama with sweetness and such devotion that the birds and beasts will pause for a moment to listen to you; the very trees will bend their leaves towards you, stirred by the divine melody of that Name. And when you are able to do this, I tell you, I will come all the way on foot from Bombay as on a pilgrimage to hear you. In His sweet Name lies a power which can cure all our ills." - Sivananda  "...Then silence, and now more silence A mouth is not for talking. A mouth is for tasting this sweetness..."- Rumi "Do you want the sweetness of food or the sweetness of the one who put sweetness in foods..." - Rumi

How have we gotten to the point where we are society of nothing but Neanderthals with iPhones? On today's special show, I identify the war on femininity, womanhood, and motherhood as the source for the breakdown in marriage and fertility rates, which is ultimately responsible for the collapse of our society. It begins with the way we raise our daughters to be just like men in all ways while stifling their femininity, as well as their innate desire for motherhood. The cause of the decline in marriage is not primarily the result of economic policies, because research shows “family-friendly” economic policies have not fixed one iota of this problem. It's all cultural. As conservatives, we might oppose transgenderism de jure, but are we subtly accepting gender-bending in our own communities and even homes? I explain why the lack of proper rearing of today's girls is largely responsible for the mental health crisis. At the political level, it will continue to lead to young girls from conservative families leaving the fold.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Inflammation is at the root of everything. More inflammation means less energy and a higher risk of every disease. Today, we're digging into exactly why inflammation is so insidious with functional medicine nurse practitioner Maggie Berghoff. Maggie is a USA Today National Best-Selling author of the book Eat to Treat: Your Three-Step Plan To Reduce Inflammation, Detoxify Your Life, And Heal Your Body. She is also the founder of wellness supplement and non-toxic home line DETOXDaily. In this episode, we talk all about inflammation—what causes it, how it hurts us, and how to combat it. We explore all the different types of inflammation, including physiological vs. psychological inflammation– and dig into how inflammation intersects with hormone health, thyroid function, and metabolic syndrome. Maggie also shares her perspective about shedding shame around eating, and why perfectionism can be even more toxic than actually toxic foods. Plus, I share a lot of horrifying (but medically useful) information about urine. You'll be equally intrigued and grossed out.

Don't punish the masses for the ills of a fewI've used this phrase before on the podcast “Don't punish the masses for the ills of a few”. Just recently I saw another wedding/event pro coming up with what felt like punitive rules, so I decided it was time to devote an episode to this. How many things are you telling your couples and customers they can't do? Is your “no” list bigger than your “yes” list?Listen to this new 7-minute episode for more a little introspection and ideas on how you can be more “yes” focused, while still having the rules and policies you really need.If you have any questions about anything in this, or any of my podcasts, or have a suggestion for a topic or guest, please reach out directly to me at Alan@WeddingBusinessSolutions.com or visit my website Podcast.AlanBerg.comPlease be sure to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review (thanks, it really does make a difference).

In this thought-provoking episode, host Dr. Fred Moss reflects on the message of colon hydrotherapist Karin Nahmani, who was a recent guest on The Healthy Healer podcast.  Dr. Fred discusses how colonics can wash away not just physical toxins but emotional and spiritual toxins that become lodged in the body over time. He explores the idea that regularly cleansing these ills from our bodies may be key to achieving true health.  Drawing from his own positive experiences with colon hydrotherapy, Dr. Fred suggests the world could benefit from a metaphorical "colonic" to cleanse the negative emotions and painful experiences that get stuck in our collective consciousness. He notes Karin's perspective that healthy eating and nutrition are less effective if one's colon remains clogged, because the nutrients have nowhere to go. Dr. Fred encourages listeners to consider colon hydrotherapy as a way to address their own blocked energies and release pent-up emotions. Overall, he promotes colonics as a worthwhile, safe procedure for washing away illness, arguing that doing so regularly may be all we need to maintain health on an individual level. More broadly, Dr. Fred advocates for the cleansing power of releasing toxins as a path to healing ourselves and our communities.  Tune in for an intriguing follow-up discussion that builds on the intersection of gut health, cleansing, and holistic wellness.

Sammy receives an unusual birthday gift, a smart device with a face, a set life span, and an unrelenting imperative to help. Genre: Science Fiction   Excerpt: The figurine suddenly collapsed, then sprung up, wheeled her arms around, stretched them out, then up, then bopped up and down by bending at the knees. She gazed up at Sammy. “Hello there!” she said. “Are you the one who needs help?” Sammy said nothing. The figurine's movements were smooth and graceful and quiet. She made no jerking motions, emitted no mechanical sounds of motors or gears. She blinked, and she breathed. She moved as if she were a living creature.   What's the Writing Prompt that inspired the story?Ills, Pills, and Bills, Explore the subject of illness. Discover how one of your characters handles it.

The default for living in the West is poor health. The ills of modern society aren't just numerous, they are also entirely by design. Sick, unhealthy people make for better consumers and they are much easier to manipulate.   There's a mission to undo our personal sovereignty, and the greatest insulation is optimization and refusing to get fleeced by a system that wants to control us.   What do people get wrong about exercise? Can muscle bolster us against the attacks of the system? In this episode, I'm joined by personal trainer, co-founder and co-host of Mind Pump Media, Sal DiStefano. We talk about how to make yourself antifragile in a world that wants to break you.   The default for living in the West is poor health. It is weird and strange to be healthy, fit and mobile if you live in modern Western society. -Sal DiStefano   Things We Learned    - How we got here  Is the food society is consuming destroying our bodies because we want easier, faster, enjoyable and palatable?    - Bolster yourself to be sovereign  How do we move our bodies in a way that adapts to the problems and challenges of modern society?   - How to avoid overtraining  What's the difference between a workout that's optimal and a workout you can tolerate?    - Worshiping science is dangerous  Whether we know it or not, we worship something, how do we make sure we're not worshiping something that wants to manipulate us?   Guest Bio Sal Di Stefano is a personal trainer and co-founder of Mind Pump Media and co-host of Mind Pump, an online radio show/podcast that is dedicated to providing truthful fitness and health information. He is also the designer of the Muscular Adaptation Programming System (MAPS Fitness Products). Sal is dedicated to prioritizing health over appearance, and he aims to shift the direction of the fitness industry from aesthetic- and insecurity-based to one based in self-love and self-care.
