Podcasts about Individualism

Leftists seek to create a new society that supposedly is peaceable. However, they also celebrate violence done against political opponents, something that Murray Rothbard understood as undermining every supposed peaceful goal they claim to be pursuing.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/individualism-and-violence-identitarian-left

The recently reported move by the RAF to manage supply of vegan alternative uniforms on request, whilst not necessarily quite as new as it may seem, may initially appear to challenge military identity, organisational culture, and the nature and Operational Effectiveness of a modern fighting force. But whilst I'm not vegan myself and therefore won't be taking advantage of this policy, I believe that it's a sensible and entirely appropriate step forward, that strengthens the RAF by demonstrating its commitment to its people, broadening its appeal to potential recruits, and reinforcing its ethical foundations without compromising Operational Effectiveness. There's been a lot of hate and derision over this, on social media, in various media outlets, and sadly even in the Service itself - unfortunate but unsurprising in the current climate. But I've also received and seen some genuine and reasonable comments - some from people I greatly respect - that I think do deserve and warrant a considered response. I'm entirely uninterested in feeding trolls, but I do believe in giving and receiving reasonable challenge and engaging in respectful debate - this is my attempt to contribute to that conversation. Individualism vs Uniformity The core purpose of a uniform is to foster a collective identity and spirit, subordinating the individual to the team. The criticism is that allowing ethical variations undermines this principle. However, I'd suggest this is a misinterpretation of the meaning, intent, and value of uniformity. Uniformity is not conformity, and Unit cohesion is not threatened by diversity; indeed, combined with psychological safety and strong, effective leadership (as one would expect in a military environment), diversity enhances military organisational effectiveness. Uniformity in the military is therefore about common standards and unity of purpose, not the literal, molecular composition of every item. A Service person's identity and function are defined by their rank slide, trade badge, and the uniform's cut, feel, and colour, none of which are altered by using appropriate non-animal materials. The military has a long history of accommodating deeply held beliefs without sacrificing cohesion. We accommodate religious dietary needs in rations, allow turbans and hijabs that conform to regulations, and respect religious holidays. Providing a vegan uniform option is simply a modern extension of this principle to include deeply held ethical convictions. True cohesion comes from shared values like courage, respect, and integrity, not from enforcing conformity down to the last stitch. A force that respects and values the conscience and cognitive diversity of its people strengthens the moral component, and is thus more unified and resilient. I'd also note that as long as I've been serving, personnel have always been able to source different boots and other items, to optimise their comfort. Go to any military Unit, and you'll see personnel in Altberg, Aku, Kestrel, Lowa, Meindl, and many other brands of boot - all procured through the stores issue system, and all intended to ensure individual comfort and suitability. There's very simply nothing new or controversial about accommodating individual needs to enhance performance. Cost and Resources It's argued that this is an unnecessary expense, diverting funds from more critical areas, like frontline equipment or improving pay. But the Strategic Defence Review 2025 recognises that representation, empowerment, and flexibility for our people is an investment. The cost of recruiting and training a Service person is significant - tens of thousands for a recruit and millions for a pilot. Losing even a small number of highly skilled personnel, or indeed deterring potential recruits, because of an easily solvable conflict with their (non-Operational) beliefs, costs far more to Defence than the marginal expense of sourcing alternative boots or gloves. The policy is "on request", and with MoD ...

What if your sense of existence, your self-awareness, isn't unique at all—but the very same “I” that exists in everyone, everywhere? What if you and I—and everyone—are essentially the same person? In this episode, I talk with Joe Kern, author of “The Odds of You Existing,” about Open Individualism: the radical view that there is only a single subject of consciousness, which is shared by all aware beings. Put another way: instead of seeing your odds of existing—your odds of being self-aware at this moment—as being extremely low, it's a view of your existence as inevitable, because wherever there is a conscious being, your awareness must be present. Joe and I explore the logic of this idea, how it challenges our assumptions about identity and existence, and what it implies about death. Other topics discussed: religion, the idea of souls, free will, and the multiverse. Joe's site is at applebutterdreams.wordpress.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 1633, Galileo Galilei was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for teaching that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His defiance became a symbol of individual conscience against powerful institutions. On this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, we explore the history of individualism versus collectivism — from Socrates to the Stoics, from Christianity and the Reformation to Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and into the American founding. We also explore libertarian principles of ethical individualism, free speech, and personal responsibility, contrasting them with the dangers of conformity, censorship, and control inherent in collectivism.

Divine Individuation: Remembering the Old Grammar Through a Modern Mind

In this episode of the Ordinary Christian Podcast, Craig Thompson discusses the importance of defining the mission of the church amidst cultural disagreements and challenges. He emphasizes the need for Christians to resist secular influences that seek to redefine their mission, focusing on the imperatives of loving God and making disciples. The conversation explores the characteristics of modern culture, the various models of Christian engagement, and the commitment required to uphold the mission given by Christ.TakeawaysDo not allow those who do not understand the mission to define the mission.The church must resist cultural influences that contradict its mission.Cultural disagreements often center around sexual ethics and gender roles.Individualism in culture contrasts with the Christian concept of community.Social justice movements can conflict with biblical teachings.Relativism challenges the authority of Scripture.Consumerism undermines commitment to discipleship.Modern culture is characterized by self-fulfillment and self-definition.Christ can transform culture through the power of the Holy Spirit.Celebration by culture should not be the goal of Christians.

The archetype of the Wanderer appears as a figure of profound loneliness, who drifts through life without a fixed home or direction, restless in the search for purpose and belonging. He has far-sickness, a deep longing for distant places and the hope of eventually finding a place on earth where he truly feels at home. The Wanderer longs for home, yet feels at home nowhere, dwelling in a liminal space between past and present, the familiar and the unknown, echoing what Lovecraft wrote: “I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.”If there is one key characteristic of the Wanderer, it is restlessness, which appears as a constant need to chase the next thing, whether it be in the outer world. Once something is achieved, the Wanderer is no longer satisfied, and seeks something else, ad infinitum. This insatiable desire is the cause of much of our suffering. One could say that the Wanderer cannot commit to anything, but he is certainly committed to wandering. After a long period of aimless wandering, one may finally commit to the inner journey, and the archetype of the Seeker becomes constellated, beginning the search for one's soul. The focus of life shifts from external achievements and aimless wandering to the pursuit of self-realisation and theosis (union with God).

The Selfie Society: How Hyper-Individualism Is Killing Our Soul In this conversation, Lenny Esposito and Pascal Emmanuel Gobry explore the erosion of timeless norms in society, the cultural shifts occurring in America and Europe, and the implications of self-centeredness in the selfie generation. They discuss the role of social norms, etiquette, and the importance of family and marriage in maintaining a healthy society. The conversation also touches on the dangers of genetic screening and the anti-natalist movement, emphasizing the need for a cultural revival rooted in transcendent values.

In today's cultural climate, many people – even in the church – view faith as a tool for personal fulfillment rather than a life transformed by Jesus. Author and ministry leader Trevin Wax joins Todd Unzicker to explore how churches can break through expressive individualism, build a counter-cultural community, and engage an increasingly open yet spiritually confused world. In this episode, Trevin Wax, vice president of research and resource development at the North American Mission Board, unpacks the cultural shifts shaping how people react and respond to the gospel today. He explains how the dominant story of “expressive individualism” influences even faithful churchgoers, often distorting biblical teaching into a version of the American dream with a Christian appearance.  Wax shares practical ways for pastors and leaders to create a church culture distinct enough to influence the surrounding community, while recognizing the surprising openness many people have toward spiritual conversations. From redefining “abundant life” to leveraging everyday conversations, this discussion equips church leaders to be salt and light in a changing world.

What do you care about these days? Caring is the currency of leadership, but here's the paradox: when we care too much about too many things, we can lose sight of the things that truly matter. So the question is: How do you direct your energy toward what you value, without becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things you could care about? The most effective leaders are those who can connect deeply with their teams, foster trust, and create a sense of safety and belonging. They lead with empathy, not just strategy.But perfectionism and overfunctioning can lead us to feel like we need to be everything to everyone, at the expense of our well-being and, ultimately, the quality of our leadership.For many of us, the path to effective leadership begins with finding your enough. When you shift your lens to honoring your enough, you stay connected to your values and to the people and causes that matter most to you, without tipping into exhaustion.My guest today offers a model of what it's like to care deeply without losing yourself in the process, and of finding joy and community along the way. Ashlee Piper is a sustainability expert, commentator, and speaker whose work has been widely featured on television and in print media.

Nish Dubashia walks through his new book, A Brief History of God: From Nature Spirits to Cosmic Consciousness, the newest offering from Sky Meadow Press. After laying out his framework for religion as a story of the self's aspiration to reunite with Spirit, Nish goes through the major stages of religion's evolution, from humanity's tribal origins to the rise of polytheism in early agricultural civilizations to the Axial Age transformation of transcendence to the modern shift to materialism and the postmodern emphasis on pluralistic harmony. We then explore post-postmodern forms of religiosity as an integral perspective before Nish's concluding speculations on the future of spirituality. 0:00 Introduction 1:12 A Brief History of 'A Brief History of God' 6:11 Religion's Archetypal Story: The Dance of Self and Spirit 11:25 Stage 1.

In this latest installment of the recurring collaboraton between Ken Fong and Ken Kemp, they attempt to ascertain why Trump and MAGA folks enjoy being cruel to others. Especially those that they believe robbed them of previous stature and status in America. Fong and Kemp also bring in David Brook's recent piece in The Atlantic as he attempts to unpack why so many Americans think Trump is good. And they found a perfect example of where some people choose to ignore cruelty because they've become so acclimated to it in the 2024 German film The Zone of Interest.

Modern historians depend heavily upon sweeping narratives and their take on the US War of Secession is no exception. Yet, the use of methodological individualism allows one to avoid sweeping judgments like claiming the Confederacy was founded upon belief in white supremacy.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/methodological-individualism-historical-analysis-0

To better understand history, we must understand how people thought and acted in the context of their times and the prevailing worldviews of that era.

This source presents a sermon on the biblical story of Cain and Abel.  The speaker dissects Genesis 4, focusing on Cain's sin, God's judgment, and the subsequent mercy shown. Key themes explored include the corrupting nature of sin, symbolized by Cain's lack of remorse and his lie to God, and the concept of collective responsibility versus individualism. The sermon also highlights how the cry of Abel's blood demands justice, but ultimately emphasizes the "better word" of forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ, contrasting it with the vengeance associated with Abel's sacrifice.Support the showThanks for listening!

In this episode, Neoborn Caveman explores the current global socio-political landscape, arguing that despite widespread pessimism, humanity is actually experiencing its best period in history. He highlights significant improvements in health, food availability, security, and access to information, contrasting current conditions with historical challenges like toxic wallpapers, radioactive children's toys, and harmful medical practices.NC critically examines the rise of ideological movements like communism and techno-feudalism, arguing that these systems promise freedom but ultimately result in human subjugation. He discusses how various countries, including the United States, have been infiltrated by oppressive ideologies and how political systems tend to prioritize control over individual sovereignty. Neoborn emphasizes the importance of understanding historical patterns and recognizing how power structures manipulate populations through fear and compliance.Throughout the episode, Caveman advocates for individual awakening and resistance against systemic oppression. He argues that people should strive to be sovereign rather than individualistic, meaning they should share resources and support each other while maintaining personal freedom. NC calls for people to think critically, resist simplification of complex issues, and recognize their inherent power to challenge existing systems and create meaningful change.KEY QUOTES: • "Life has never ever been this good on earth." - Neoborn Caveman • "Consumerism is death. Compliance because of consumerism is death. Staying silent because of fear is also death spiritual first." - Neoborn Caveman • "Sovereignty means that we share. Individualism means we are selfish and we take things from each other." - Neoborn Caveman • "We the people need to become we the people. Nobody can rule us." - Neoborn Caveman • "Without a clear consciousness, a clear mindset, there won't be a clear direction." - Neoborn CavemanKEY TAKEAWAYS: • Despite global challenges, humanity is currently experiencing the best quality of life in recorded history, with unprecedented health, food availability, security, and information access • Communism and similar ideological systems promise freedom and equality but historically lead to human oppression, control, and reduced individual sovereignty • The United States represents a unique historical experiment of a nation founded without feudal predecessors, though its current trajectory shows signs of systemic corruption and ideological infiltration • Modern societal control mechanisms rely on consumerism, compliance, and fear to maintain power, effectively preventing meaningful resistance or systemic change • Current geopolitical tensions are primarily driven by economic interests rather than genuine ideological conflicts, with major powers avoiding direct infrastructure destruction • True sovereignty means sharing resources and maintaining individual freedom, in contrast to individualism which promotes selfish competition • Major world powers and tech companies depend more on people's compliance than people depend on them, suggesting potential for grassroots transformative change • Historical patterns reveal that significant social changes often start with imperfect, even problematic initial iterations before achieving more refined implementationsSupport the show on our Patreon by becoming a member or sending a direct donation: https://www.patreon.com/TheNeobornCavemanShow Free speech marinated in comedy.........Humanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.Free speech marinated in comedy.Supporting Purple Rabbits.

THE KEROUAC PROJECT: https://www.kerouacproject.org/JACK KEROUAC SCHOOL OF DISEMBODIED POETICS: https://www.naropa.edu/academics/schools-centers/jack-kerouac-school-of-disembodied-poetics/The thread of Jack Kerouac's literary and personal life in the American imagination might be unwound succinctly in the following terms: ambitious and fun-loving young man leaves behind his small-town upbringing to chase heroes and dreams in the American West, finding along the way new paths to enlightenment while blazing a trail for generations of seekers to follow.It is a theme familiar to most of us, because more than a few of our favorite novels embrace it. It is also, in the case of Kerouac, almost entirely a fiction. The man most associated with the peripatetic Beat Generation spent more than half his life in his hometown of Lowell, Mass., living with his mother. This master of the postwar American idiom grew up speaking the French dialect of his Canadian immigrant parents and actually attempted an early draft of On The Road (the book was eventually published in 1957) in the dialect of his Franco-American community. Despite the image of a modern spiritual seeker who eventually found a home in Buddhism, Kerouac was born and died a self-identified Catholic; and despite his iconic status as a chronicler of the road, the most prominent theme in Kerouac's novels is a mysticism of place.Kerouac's mystical visions had another specific theme—the crucifixion. In Maggie Cassidy, Christ speaks to him from a crucifix after confession:“My child, you find yourself in the world of mystery and pain not understandable—I know, angel—it is for your good, we shall save you, because we find your soul as important as the soul of the others in the world—but you must suffer for that, in effect my child, you must die, you must die in pain, with cries, frights, despairs—the ambiguities! the terrors!”The Autobiographical Novels of Jack KerouacVisions of Gerard (written 1956, published 1963)About Kerouac's saintly older brother, who died as a child.Doctor Sax (written 1952, published 1959)Maggie Cassidy (written 1953, published 1959)Youthful porchlight romancing in Lowell.The Town and the City (written 1946-49, published 1950)Vanity of Duluoz (written and published 1968)Kerouac's last published novel, a memoir of early days.On The Road (written 1948-56, published 1957)Visions of Cody (written 1951-52, published 1972)More about Neal Cassady.The Subterraneans (written 1953, published 1958)Kerouac's pathetic love story about a black girl who dumps him for Gregory Corso.Tristessa (written 1955-56, published 1960)Junkie prostitute girlfriend in Mexico.The Dharma Bums (written 1957, published 1958)Big Sur (written 1961, published 1962)Desolation Angels (written 1956-61, published 1965)Satori in Paris (written 1965, published 1966)

Do you ever feel alone, even in your marriage? In this powerful episode of Master Your Marriage, we explore why loneliness hits so hard and how your brain is wired for connection. Sharla and Robert dive into the science of the relational brain, challenging the “go it alone” mindset of individualism. From Ed Tronick's “still face” experiment to James Coan's Social Baseline Theory, we uncover how co-regulation—syncing with your partner's nervous system—can transform your relationship. Through compelling stories, like a couple rediscovering connection amidst conflict, and the stark realities of isolation (from orphanages to solitary confinement), we reveal why connection isn't just a want—it's a survival need. Plus, we tackle the paradox: love can calm us, but it can also trigger us like nothing else. Tune in to learn how prioritizing your marriage can heal loneliness and build a healthier, happier life together.Key TakeawaysYour Brain Craves Connection: Science shows our nervous systems are designed to co-regulate, sharing emotions and stress with others to stay balanced and healthy.Loneliness Hurts—Literally: From infants in orphanages to adults in solitary confinement, disconnection can lead to physical and mental health crises.Co-Regulation in Action: Simple acts, like staying calm when your partner is stressed, can help them “borrow” your calm nervous system.The Paradox of Love: Marriage can be a lighthouse of safety but also a mirror, triggering old wounds—making a secure relationship essential for survival.Individualism's Downside: Prioritizing “me” over “we” can erode connection, but relationalism rebuilds trust and intimacy in marriage.Dive DeeperExplore these resources to deepen your understanding of how we're wired for connection:Ed Tronick's “Still Face” Experiment: Watch this YouTube video to see how a mother's blank face impacts her child, showing the power of emotional synchronicity.
