We're down to the swan song! Last beer of the week and we get to taste the terroir of El Cajon. Created in a naturally fermented vessel called a Cool Ship, In Praise of Blackberries is as wild as a beer gets!
In France's overseas departments, Creole language and culture are seen as a bulwark against racism and standardisation. The concept of "Créoleness" was developed in the late 1980s, in the wake of Aimé Césaire's writings on Négritude and Edouard Glissant's notion of "Antillanité", or a specifically Caribbean identity. Our reporters Florence Gaillard and Georges Yazbeck travelled to Martinique to hear from those who embody this complex identity. Following the Christian calendar, the four days before Ash Wednesday are known as "les jours gras" in Martinique: a time of celebration and mischief. Everyone is invited to the carnival: rich, poor, white, black, locals and tourists.The festivities are populated by some emblematic local characters: King Vaval, the Red Devils and Marianne La Po Fig, a mysterious creature made of banana leaves. According to Marie-Lyne Psyché-Salpétrier, president of the Recherches et Traditions association, Marianne La Po Fig is part of Martinique's spiritual pantheon, handed down by the island's Yoruba ancestors and belonging to its African roots. Philosopher Edouard Glissant called Martinique "the melting pot of the world". Like all Creole societies, it is the product of three centuries of colonisation and a mixture of European, African and Asian populations. The indigenous Amerindians, known as Kalinagos or Caribs, have all but disappeared. This physical and cultural intermingling has led to the emergence of a popular language: Creole. Long associated with slavery, Creole was forbidden in the classroom and frowned upon in polite society. Yet the language continued to evolve – largely thanks to songs and stories – and today it's a poetic, multi-layered idiom. We meet Jocelyne Béroard, a singer with the group Kassav', who told us more about the inherent poetry of Créole and how she uses it on stage and in daily life. Meanwhile, the "Groupe d'Etudes et de Recherches en Espace Créole" has been working for almost 30 years to lay the written foundations of Creole, publishing dictionaries and novels in a Creole that borrows expressions from Martinique, French Guiana, Haiti and Reunion Island. More importantly, GEREC has fought to bring Creole to school textbooks and universities and thereby formalise its use beyond the oral sphere. In 1989, Raphaël Confiant, Jean Bernabé and Patrick Chamoiseau published "Eloge de la Créolité" or "In Praise of Creoleness". This manifesto celebrates Creole identity as the acceptance of all diversities and the endorsement of plural identities. For its co-author Confiant: "Creoleness is, in fact, the opposite of apartheid!"

The author of In Praise of Failure, Costica Bradatan, joins me from Romania to share his wisdom on all things lack and loss. We talk about the true meaning of humility, the benefits of clumsiness, and just how broken democracy is — and has been — across time and place. Plus, we discuss quite possibly the biggest failure of all, the one none of us can avoid: death. I got to indulge my latent philosophical bent in this conversation, meaning I could even comfortably confess that I tried to work an 1880 parable into The X Files.

In this engaging conversation, Host Daniel Chacón speaks with California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick. They discuss his latest work "In Praise of Late Wonder: New and Selected Poems," a collection that marks a profound exploration of his identity as a Korean adoptee. While Herrick has long been known as an adopted poet, this book represents his deepest dive yet into themes of adoption, identity, and belonging, featuring intimate pieces about his birth family search and letters to his birth parents. The discussion expands beyond poetry to explore Herrick's compelling belief that librarians, farmers, and street food vendors hold the key to society's salvation, drawing on Anthony Bourdain's perspective about street food's vital role in human connection. Herrick and Chacón engage in thoughtful dialogue about the changing landscape of publishing, the role of social media in literary success, and the importance of maintaining authenticity in an increasingly corporatized world.

For Ada Limón, the 24th U.S. Poet Laureate, poetry is her way of connecting — to others, to ourselves, to our natural world. Ada's work is deeply personal, inspired by gratitude for loved ones, awe and nature, and her struggles with scoliosis and infertility. In this conversation with the Surgeon General, she reflects on her process for writing, which she says often starts with the simple act of seeing what's around her. When Ada shares her poems, she finds joy in other people seeing their own feelings and life experiences in her writing.In the course of this conversation she beautifully recites two of her poems. “The Raincoat” was written for her mother. The other, “In Praise of Mystery,” is shooting through outer space right now on a NASA aircraft bound for Jupiter's moon Europa. (07:36) Can poetry help keep us grounded?(10:33) How does poetry help when language fails us?(12:35) Ada shares her poem "The Raincoat”(17:50) What are some unexpected ways poetry opens people up?(22:40) What if we don't "get" poetry?(26:42) What is it like to live the life of a poet?(31:38) How Ada gets herself in the mindset to write(38:08) On staying present(44:02) How life challenges shaped her creativity(52:14) How does Ada define success at this point in her life?(59:36) A reading of her poem "In Praise of Mystery."(01:03:08) What gives Ada Limón hope?

"The fruits of accepting a true master are immense. Unfortunately, true teachers are few and difficult to find... A spiritual master who is wise, pure and a practitioner of the Yoga of Divine Sound gradually imparts his or her virtues to the student. The good will of the spiritual teacher cannot but help affecting the aspirant in a positive manner because one is affected by the power of a higher vibration." (Maharshi Mehi, The Philosophy of Liberation) My Ode to the Sant Satguru: In Praise of the Sant-soul of love who has reached the Spiritual Realm above, and merged in God. Hail to the Competent Living Master, the Qualified Teacher, rare to find in this world, so few and far between, the True One, a genuine mentor of souls, righteous and worthy Guide, a Fearless Being, Light-giver, leader of a spiritual community. With gratitude to the Competent Living One! In a Sea of Samsara -- illusion and world of changes, of falsehood and posing, there is a bright Light in the darkness. A silent Music becomes audible. At the feet of such a Loving, Radiant One, the soul can not help but find inner Light and slip into deep samadhi meditation. In the eyes of a Saint are love, wisdom, light, compassion, grace, a reflection of God in this realm of the material plane. The Master-Power connects the soul with the Supreme Lord of Love.

NASA's Europa Clipper took off earlier this week, headed for Jupiter's fourth-largest moon. Etched on the outside of the spacecraft is a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón called "In Praise of Mystery." Now, that poem, which celebrates human curiosity, has been adapted into a picture book by the same name, illustrated by Peter Sís. In today's episode, Limón speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelley about her collaboration with Sís and how to write a poem with staying power across time and space. Finally, Limón reads her poem out loud.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
The Czech-born, US-based illustrator and writer Petr Sís has just seen the publication of his latest work, a book of In Praise of Mystery by American poet laureate Ada Limon. In a project years in the making, the poem has also been etched onto a NASA spaceship bound for Jupiter's moon Europa. In an interview from his home in New York State, Sís discussed the new book as well as his poster for the multiple Oscar-winning movie Amadeus, released four decades ago this year. He also shared some insights into his latest project, which takes inspiration from his own colourful experiences in the US around the same time.

Episode: 1054 In Praise of Bats. Today, we meet some beleaguered animals that should be our friends.
Pretty much perfect - https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2024/09/24/iphone-pro-desert-titanium-review-matte-bronze-is-lit/ # In Praise of Thin I was really curious about the new iPhone pro, and the upgraded camera etc. And also, I currently have a pitch for Apple TV Apple TV+ on the art of street photography, pretty much imagine Anthony Bourdain traveling the world in exotic places, shooting street photography, talking to locals experiencing the local culture etc. But this will all be done by Eric Kim. Anyways, I thought before I actually put anything, I should get the new iPhone pro shot. I picked one up at the Apple Century City Mall in LA, show it to my friend Antonio who helped me out. Got it in the desert bronze, titanium. Love it! Anyways, these are my honest thoughts: First, you have to put the iPhone pro on a diet. My suggestion to Apple designers and all of Apple corporation is the goal of every single new iPhone pro should be to make it lighter and thinner. Specifically thinner. Funny enough I would prefer I have your device which is thinner rather than a fatter device which is lighter. > Thinness is supreme   Even as a random note, I'm currently considering purchasing some new weightlifting plates, and you could purchase these steel calibrated weightlifting plates, which are thinner, more compact and stronger. And much heavier and more dense. To me the philosophy is super interesting because iron, while it is cheaper, is fatter takes up more space etc. And I think in the long term, it doesn't hold up as well to corrosion as steel does. So **if you want to become the next Carnegie, invest in steel**.  Anyways, the critical issue here is I was using the iPhone pro, I used to a lot yesterday, test out the Camera, ChatGPT voice dictation and recognition etc., used Apple Maps for driving directions etc., FaceTime call etc., and my honest assessment is for the most part, it is a perfect device. I think Apple really nailed it this time. Yet, my ultimate interesting Takeaway point is once I have discovered perfect and I have perfect, I realize that I actually don't need perfect, I don't need the best or perfect device, because **I am the ultimate perfect device**.  And also the critical issue here is even if you have the new new new iPhone Pro, you're already behind. Why? It is going to get outdated and what 6 to8 months? At this point, everything is becoming so hyper. **Ain't nothing lasts anymore**.  And also, one of my really big thoughts is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And better yet, if it ain't broke, don't upgrade it! The reason why I think this is such a critical thought is often what we techies do is we are always jerking off and waiting for the newest iPhone iPhone Pro, the newest Apple device to come out, and revolutionize ourselves, our mindset, our workflows, etc. And as a consequence, we do these fundamental tricks like we end up giving our older devices to our mothers, hand me down to our siblings, family members, maybe friends, etc. So we have an excuse to upgrade to the newest device, without any feelings of guilt. ## Only poor people trade in their devices or cars People are stupid. I'm starting to think critically more and more, am I the only wise one when it comes to money? For example, I could stay with pride that in my whole adult life, I am 36 years old, I have never purchased a car that cost more than $2500 USD? I think that might be one of the number one secrets to becoming rich, and actually more critically… Staying rich, and becoming richer. Even something that's very interesting, my brother-in-law Gabe, whose family is super rich, all of the Kids Just Dr., Ford fusions? And even though my brother-in-law‘s dad is a super major Tesla investor, he owns a lot of Tesla stock, for his own family, he only purchased them super super bass Tesla model three cars, and also, he didn't pay the all cash, even though he could, but rather… He's financing it, so **he could just use the cash available right now to invest?** 
In this episode, Alan Dunne and I explore Mario Draghi's latest vision for Europe and discuss an insightful interview with Kenneth Rogoff, titled "We Will See More Spikes in Inflation," which covers key macroeconomic issues. We also explore the recent Goldman Sachs reports, highlighted by the Financial Times, showing significant outflows from multi-strategy funds. Alan shares his perspective on the current macro landscape and why he believes we may witness more “flash crashes and extreme market moves” in the near future. Finally, we dig into two articles by Cliff Asness—"The Less Efficient Market Hypothesis" and "In Praise of High-Volatility Alternatives"—which challenge traditional thinking on market efficiency and make a compelling case for considering higher volatility versions of strategies like Trend Following over their low-volatility cousins.-----EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCE: Find Out How to Build a Safer & Better Performing Portfolio using this FREE NEW Portfolio Builder Tool-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:42 - What has caught our attention recently?05:04 - Draghi's vision for Europe08:09 - Keneth Rogoff's outlook for inflation14:02 - Clients withdrawing money from multi-strat funds19:58 - The big macro picture27:33 - Is monetary policy still loose?29:11 - Industry performance update (Finally!)34:11 - The carry unwind41:20 - Are people underestimating trend following?44:51 - Are markets becoming less efficient?48:30 - Why higher volatility funds may be good for your portfolio56:52

In Vitro Fertilisation - while most people know what it is, knowing more about this process and its history opens up new ways of thinking about the role of reproduction in society and will have us questioning what we currently regard as natural truths Bruder Klaus Field Chapel, Peter Zumthor - a chapel mentioned in my book, shaped by pouring concrete over 112 tree trunks that were burnt away. Taxonomy - how when we learn the names of natural things, we look more closely, and experience our place in nature. In Praise of Shadows, Jun'ichirō Tanizaki - the ideas in this essay are often around for me, and also guided my thinking about my prtoagonist. The essay on traditional Japanese astheatics is a warning against an incessant pursuit of light (perfection, stimulation, happiness) in Western culture.

For this "Summer Friday" we've put together some of our favorite conversations this year:Eddie Glaude, Jr., Princeton professor and the author of We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For (Harvard University Press, 2024), argues against waiting for "heroes" to do the work of seeking justice and safeguarding democracy.Dame Louise Richardson, president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, talks about research into and strategies to reduce political polarization in the United States, especially in this fraught election year.Egg freezing as a method to extend fertility for women became more accessible (though still quite expensive) and popular in the past decade or so. Anna North, senior correspondent for Vox, where she covers American family life, work, and education, reports on whether the industry oversold women, as data now show having a baby through the process is no guarantee.Tracie McMillan, journalist, former managing editor of City Limits and the author of The White Bonus: Five Families and the Cash Value of Racism in America (McMillan, 2024), traces the financial impact of historical benefits not afforded Black Americans on her own family and that of four others.Rhaina Cohen, producer and editor of NPR's Embedded and the author of The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center (Macmillan, 2024), shares stories of people who have made life partners of friends, upending current expectations that spouses would be our closest relationships.

#278: In today's tech landscape, developers often find themselves caught in the middle of a debate that never seems to age: GUI or CLI? While the tools and interfaces we use may evolve, the core question remains. How do we balance the efficiency and familiarity of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with the raw power and flexibility of command-line interfaces (CLIs)? In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss a blog post by Ian Miell titled In Praise of Low Tech DevEx.

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.What can we learn from indigenous knowledge systems about how to navigate and transform our world?My guest, Dr Richard Hodge, points out several aspects of Aboriginal culture that can help us act effectively and with heart and wisdom in a world full of problems.To guide us in a complex world, we need touchstones of value.For many indigenous peoples, that's the function of totems and totemic beings: kangaroo, echidna, wallaby, and so on.Counterintuitively, seeing the world through a totemic perspective offers greater clarity than how we often view it, through the lens of our limited egoic state, entangled with fight-or-flight fancies that superimpose themselves over reality.Our perception colors our interpretation of the world.The Western mindset sees the world as a number of separate objects, ourselves among them. Which means our prime directive is always control and domination of the "other" — whether it be nature, or the weather, or animals, or other people.Shifting to an indigenous way of seeing creates connection and opportunities for collaboration and synergies on a systems-level.And that's the level at which transformational change at scale becomes possible.With that foundation, Dr Hodge shares his Dragonfly Model of systemic, deep change.If you can, watch rather than just listen, because there are diagrams and models that can help you follow the concepts and the conversation.Enjoy our yarning, and please let us know what you think.LinksDrRichardHodge.comThomas Berry, "The Meadow Across the Creek"Stephanie Kelton, economistMariana Mazzucato, economistBertrand Russell, "In Praise of Idleness"Click to subscribe to the Mindset Mastery Memo.Support the Show.
Deborah Ancona's area of expertise includes organizational behavior, leadership, and the dynamics of high-performing teams. She is mainly known for her pioneering research into how successful teams operate, which led to the concept of X-teams—a framework for driving innovation within large organizations. Ancona's work also focuses on distributed leadership and creating research-based tools, practices, and teaching models to foster creative leadership at all organizational levels. Deborah is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at the Sloan School of Management. She is best known for pioneering research on high-performing teams and distributing nimble leadership and leadership signatures. Deborah is also the founder of the MIT Leadership Center, which is revolutionizing traditional leadership to solve the most challenging problems in management. Her book X-Teams gives deep insights into creating innovative, successful teams with examples from Microsoft, Takeda, and the Museum of Modern Art. She also co-founded xLEAD, which develops research-based tools to encourage creative leadership across management levels. Her work bridges theory and practice, bringing novel ideas into leadership practice. Deborah has been with MIT for over 20 years and, in 2018, was awarded the Jamieson Prize, MIT Sloan's highest teaching honor. Her widely acclaimed research on how family upbringing affects workplace behavior was published in the Harvard Business Review, titled “Family Ghosts in the Executive Suite”, as was her article on the 4-CAPS+ model, “In Praise of the Incomplete Leader”. https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahancona123/ https://mitsloan.mit.edu/centers-initiatives/mit-leadership-center/our-people-mit-leadership-center https://www.amazon.com/dp/1591396921 https://www.xlead.co/about On the podcast, Deborah would love to talk about: How high-performing teams monitor trends within and outside the organization to perform better. I use the distributed leadership model to adapt to today's rapidly changing business environment. Knowing your “family ghosts” and leadership signature can push your leadership to the next level. Leadership in Rapidly Changing Environments Deborah, a professor at MIT Sloan, discussed her research on leadership for rapidly changing environments, including developing capabilities for innovative teams and agile organizations, as well as the impact of childhood experiences on executives. Michael acknowledged the complexity of contemporary organizations due to factors like the pandemic, new workforce generations, and differing expectations. Understanding Purpose and Culture in Organizations Michael and Deborah discussed the importance of clearly understanding an organization's purpose and culture. Deborah emphasized the significance of answering the question of 'why should we exist?' and highlighted the usefulness of culture decks, which help to align employees around a shared vision. Michael illustrated this point by discussing the evolution of Netflix and the need for their culture to remain in sync with their changing business model. Both agreed on the necessity of inclusiveness in shaping an organization's culture. Leadership, Learning, and Curiosity in Organizations Michael and Deborah discussed the importance of including all stakeholders and fostering a culture of learning and curiosity in organizations. They emphasized the need for leadership at all levels and the value of funneling and choice mechanisms to evaluate new ideas. They also highlighted the role of curiosity in driving innovation and overcoming challenges. Deborah shared her insights on how leaders can facilitate learning and address their "shoulds" that may hold them back. Michael agreed and pointed out the benefits of involving teams as advisors and maintaining a curious approach to opportunities and challenges. X Teams and Curiosity in Organizations Deborah discussed creating 'X teams,' which are externally focused and aim to understand customer demands, technology usage, and other contextual factors. She emphasized the importance of curiosity and inter-team coordination in these groups. Deborah also suggested that organizations could encourage curiosity by having team members interview customers or explore how technology is used in their domain. Michael shared a positive experience where such an approach was successfully applied, highlighting the value of customer feedback and the potential for new product features. Understanding Customer Needs and Empathy Michael and Deborah discussed the importance of understanding customer needs and pain points. Deborah shared an example of a Microsoft team that delved deeper into understanding their customers' issues, leading to the development of products that addressed those problems. Michael agreed with this approach, highlighting the value of conversations that seek to understand different viewpoints and perspectives. He emphasized the need for more people to engage in such discussions to foster empathy and understanding, which he believes is crucial today. Disruptive Technologies for Positive Change Michael and Deborah discussed the future of organizations and society. Deborah expressed hope in the potential of new technologies to positively impact various domains, such as healthcare and climate change. However, she also highlighted the need to balance the use of technology with empathy and critical thinking. Michael agreed, noting that people are increasingly curious and willing to learn from others to improve their organizations. Both emphasized the importance of discarding ineffective practices and using technology for the betterment of society. Discussing Deborah's Work on Healthy Organizations Michael and Deborah discussed her work and the importance of creating healthy organizations. Deborah shared that her work could be found on her faculty page at MIT Sloan, Exec Ed at MIT Sloan, and Exlead Co, which offers access to tools and a simulation tool. Michael expressed his appreciation for Deborah's work, highlighting its significance in making organizations healthier and more productive. They both emphasized the importance of reframing and changing mindsets to improve individual and organizational performance.
For episode number one hundred and fifty, I proudly bring you this important and thoughtful conversation with Journalist Carl Honoré. Honoré is the leading voice of the global Slow Movement. We recently spent some time at Los Sagrados Horse Sanctuary in Pescadero discussing his bestselling book "In Praise of Slowness." In his books, lectures, and TED Talks, Honoré advocates embracing one's inner tortoise and slowing down. He criticizes the Western world's obsession with speed and promotes a more deliberate, unhurried approach to life. Honoré not only explores the negative impacts of our fast-paced society but also champions those who have adopted a slower, more mindful lifestyle. In a world dominated by haste and diversion, Honoré underscores the importance of deceleration. He provides actionable strategies that empower individuals to not just survive, but thrive in a rapidly changing world, all while prioritizing their well-being and fostering meaningful connections.

Today, I am blessed to have Shane O'Mara here with me. He is a Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin - the University of Dublin. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from NUI Galway and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. He is a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin (FTCD), and was the first Ireland-based elected Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science (FAPS) and is an elected member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA). He has a popular newsletter at brainpizza.substack.com - signup for slices of writing on brains, behavior, and lots in between… In this episode, Shane highlights that all public health agencies advocate for at least three to five hours of exercise per week because our bodies are designed for movement. Sedentary habits can lead to high blood glucose, type 2 diabetes, undesirable cholesterol accumulation, and increased inflammation. Tune in as we talk about how an active lifestyle is beneficial while inactivity is harmful. Exercise lowers cancer rates, especially bowel cancer. Aging increases disease risk, but a healthy body improves cell function and reduces cancer risk. To enhance your health, avoid smoking, vaping, excessive drinking, and consume a diet low in ultra-processed foods and saturated fats. Social connections are vital for mental well-being; humans' social and cooperative nature has been key to our success.

Pop Quiz: How do you feel about aging? Do you feel bad about your age? Wish you were younger? Go to serious lengths to come across as younger? Did you turn 32 AGAIN this year? This week's show, @carlhonore invites us to stop buying into the cult of youth, and explore what the world might look like when we do. If you'd love nothing more than to change the way you view ageing, change the things you say about age, brush off the pressure to be ‘young' then join us. Words like vitality, energy, enthusiasm, vibrancy and ‘crushing it' don't belong to any age - they belong to the people who embody them at any age. Carl has always made us think through his books, and challenge how we think about and do things. In Praise of Slow, challenged Hustle Culture; his book “Bolder” in 2018 challenges us to rethink aging and the notion that at a certain point we should be put out to pasture.

Subscribe, Rate, & Review Future Fossils on YouTube • Spotify • Apple Podcasts✨ About This EpisodeThe world is getting hotter, faster, stranger, and scarier every year. Species disappear each day, life-critical diversity replaced with media, consumer goods, capital, and trash. And yet…what do any of us feel inspired to do about it? Why has humankind thus far failed to wield its religions as an instrument for biospheric action? Reading the above probably generated more distress than motivation. Might Western civilization actually be better off reclaiming what the modern world felt it didn't need — namely, the sacred? What if Christianity has ALWAYS at its core held teachings meant to stir up riotous love — the kind that gets us off our asses striving joyously to serve the living world we are?Endlessly subversive author and Rice University Professor Timothy Morton (Twitter | Substack | Patreon | YouTube | Instagram) thinks so — and their new book Hell: In Search of A Christian Ecology argues eloquently for a weird and wonderful postmodern nondual Christianity in which we give up trying to run the place and realign ourselves with Life. Hell is a rousing and reviving work I underlined extensively, and our discussion traces and retraces Tim's characteristically good-lurid and good-florid, stark-but-dreamy, mystically mundane, paradox-rich writing. We soar into romantic numinosity and dwell in body horrors, throw curtains open to pure light and celebrate the stains we can't erase. Trigger warnings plenty, here — but one of them is that in the high-brow, low-brow oscillations you might find yourself awakened to the nature of your being-as-the-God-shaped-hole-in-everything.I'll let them introduce what is easily one of the most potent episodes this show has ever published:“A wonderful three-dimensional podcast. Like, I can't thank you enough for wanting to go all the way around the mulberry bush and then into the mulberry bush and then outside the mulberry bush, then pulverize the mulberry bush into powder, send it around a particle accelerator, and watch the diffusion cloud chamber patterns as you compose another symphony using fractal geometry. I just love this.”If that's the kind of conversation you enjoy, then buckle up. Tim knows precisely the poetic mind-keys with which we can find The Garden in the flames of Hell itself, and Heaven in the sinful body of the Technocene.Over the next two hours, we round the bases on a Greatest Hits of all my favorite topics, all of which appear in some sublime form in Tim's wonderful new book. An we perform embroidery and exegesis of this anthem to raves and William Blake and AI and facing childhood trauma on the way to saving the biosphere from one of its own most deliciously sinful experiments (namely, civilization), we cover a kaleidoscopic swirl of topics such as:• Making climate action (and America) cool again• Nonduality, convergent evolution, and the sacred as the feeling of biology• When teleology goes bad, then redeems itself through pluralism• Flipped gnosticism and dispensing with master/slave thinking• What deals with the devil teach us about how to wisely wield AI• “The Black Goo” as a science fiction trope and how it relates to…• How to make the best of living in Hell, aka social media• The Peacock Angel Melek Taus and having sympathy for the devil• Failure as comedy, sin as a blessing, thinking as a kind of failure mode• Evolution as a Christic promise of possibility better futures, and yet…• Why we shouldn't use “emergentism” to solve “the meaning crisis”We also pay dues to a totally prodigious list of inspirations.As per our custom, those of you supporting the show have subsidized the extra time it takes for me to organize a thorough bibliography with links to the books, papers, films, TV shows, podcast episodes, and historical figures mentioned therein.Thank you for listening and for your contributions!✨ Support This Work• Become a patron on Substack or Patreon• Buy original paintings and prints or commission new work• Buy the books we discuss from my Bookshop.org reading list• Help me find backing for my next big project Humans On The Loop• Join the conversation on Discord in the Holistic Technology & Wise Innovation and Future Fossils servers• Make one-off donations at @futurefossils on Venmo, $manfredmacx on CashApp, or @michaelgarfield on PayPal• Buy the show's music on Bandcamp — intro “Olympus Mons” from the Martian Arts EP & outro “Sonnet A” from the Double-Edged Sword EP✨ Books & ArticlesHell: In Search of A Christian Ecologyby Timothy MortonHyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology after The End of The Worldby Timothy MortonSubscendenceby Timothy MortonDarwin's Pharmacy: Sex, Plants, and The Evolution of The Noosphereby Richard DoyleA Beginner's Guide To Constructing The Universeby Michael S.

Einstein's Dreams (Vintage, 1992) by Alan Lightman, set in Albert Einstein's “miracle year” of 1905, is a novel about the cultural interconnection of time, relativity and life. As the young genius creates his theory of relativity, in a series of dreams, he imagines other worlds, each with a different conceptualization of time. In one, time is circular, and people are destined to repeat triumphs and failures over and over. In another, time stands still. In yet another, time is a nightingale, trapped by a bell jar. Translated into over thirty languages, Einstein's Dreams has inspired playwrights, dancers, musicians and artists around the world. In poetic vignettes, Alan Lightman explores the connections between science and art, creativity and the rhythms of life, and ultimately the fragility of human existence. This conversation includes Alan Lightman (MIT), Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera and Annette Martínez-Iñesta, of the Departamento de Humanidades at the Universidad de Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPRM), and Joshua Chaparro Mata, a UPRM graduate and doctoral student in Applied Physics at Yale. They discuss dreaming as a scientific and creative resource; the importance of Berne, Switzerland, in the thought of Einstein and Lightman; Lightman's precise and harmonious poetics; the role of technology in contemporary life; and the course Lightman's life, experiences and creative process. This is the second of two episodes about Einstein's Dreams. The first, in Spanish, appeared on the New Books Network en español. The series is sponsored by the Lenguaje focal group at Instituto Nuevos Horizontes at UPRM, a group of scholars who consider how translanguaging can provide unique dimensions to knowledge. This episode and the Instituto Nuevos Horizontes at the UPRM have been supported by the Mellon Foundation. The conversation is part of the “STEM to STEAM” project of the “Cornerstone” initiative, sponsored by the Teagle Foundation, which stresses the importance of integrating humanistic perspectives in the sciences. Books, scholars, articles and podcasts mentioned in this conversation include: In Praise of Wasting Time, Alan Lightman. Mr g, Alan Lightman. Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino.

This week on Weird Studies, Phil and JF explore the intersections of the beautiful and the terrible in art and literature. There is a conventional beauty that calms and placates, and there is a radical beauty which, taking horror's pale-gloved hand, gives up all pretense to permanence and fixity and joins the danse macabre of our endless becoming. This episode is a preamble to a five-week course of lectures and discussions starting June 20th on Weirdosphere, JF and Phil's new online learning platform.

I have always loved art. I began my college career as an artist before moving to journalism, but my fascination has always remained with the visual arts. I love going to museums and when something attracts my attention, I often do deep research into the subject until I have reached satisfaction. One such personal pursuit has been my longtime passion for studying “The Juggler” (aka “The Conjurer”) by Hieronymus Bosch. I have given lectures on this painting to magicians and to museum docents. So imagine my great thrill to meet and to have this meaningful conversation with Dr. Steffen Taut from Dresden who is an expert in ancient magic art.Thanks to an introduction by Richard Hatch at the recent Magic Collectors Expo, we sat down to record a scholarly talk about our mutual passion and more. This should be like listening to a college professor after class talking with one of his students. I know you will learn a lot from this week's episode and I guarantee you'll enjoy it, or you get your money back! View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize During the first half of our conversation, Dr. Taut talks about Djedi, magician to Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), as well as some of the “magic” he created (like severing and restoring the head of a bull, and switching heads between a duck and a chicken), plus how some of the court magicians were less than ethical in their conduct. Dr. Taut also goes into some detail about the Westcar Papyrus which has only been discovered some 200 years ago but tells us so much about Egyptian magic in Pharaoh's courts. The second part of our chat goes into the 1502 painting by Hieronymus Bosch known to us today as “The Conjurer.” There is a lot of symbolism in this painting and an interesting history of what was going on with the Church at the time that led to Bosch creating this painting.

What is "friction" in video games? We've got a taxonomy, of course! This week, the Triple Click gang talks about how Dragon Dogma 2 tries to push players away, the necessity of video game friction, and what it means when a game is impenetrable.One More Thing:Kirk: Girls5Eva (Netflix)Maddy: The Holdovers (2024)Jason: Secrets of GrindeaLINKS:Triple Click LIVE in LA!

Or can only travel from certain points on mapThe game's map is an in-game object and doesn't pauseNo pause option in generalPenalty for death - lost progress, maybe the game even becomes harderFinishing a mission requires extraction, waiting, defendingYou can't save just anywhere, or have a limited number of savesLoot and upgrades don't unlock unless you complete the missionQuests are complex and require a lot of micro-managing or specific stepsCrafting and other similar activities require in-game actions or specific locationsOften referred to as “Player Friendly/Unfriendliness”Informational Friction: Relating to what the game does/doesn't tell youThe game doesn't tell you what you're supposed to do nextThe game doesn't spell out for you what's going on with the story and leaves it for you to figure out (Narrative Friction)There are a lot of concepts, mechanics, or rules to keep track of or understand (Conceptual Friction)The game's map doesn't tell you very much, or the game has no map (Navigational Friction)Branching narratives aren't signposted, little or no warning for consequential decisionsThe interface is opaque or requires a lot of inputs to useYou don't get notifications about status effects in the HUD, you have to look at your character (general world > hud approach)The game has hidden systems that you have to learn about via word of mouth or experimentation (e.g. If you want to explore the castle without getting arrested, wear the guard armor to blend in. If you die, your world becomes steadily darker. This guy will kill your NPCs, but there's an elaborate hidden spell to revive them. Etc)Other players can leave notes to help you, but the notes are often vague; other player's pawns can show you secrets, but you have to listenIn-game multiplayer communication options are limitedItem descriptions don't give specific stats, they just say vague stuff
