On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop welcomes Andrew Burlinson, an artist and creative thinker, for a deep conversation about technology, creativity, and the human spirit. They explore the importance of solitude in the creative process, the addictive nature of digital engagement, and how AI might both challenge and enhance human expression. Andrew shares insights on the shifting value of art in an AI-driven world, the enduring importance of poetry, and the unexpected resurgence of in-person experiences.

He reflects on his childhood, where a lack of constant stimulation led him to develop his artistic skills. Today, with infinite digital distractions, people must intentionally carve out space to be alone with their thoughts to create work that carries deep personal intention rather than just remixing external influences.The Struggle to Defend Attention – Stewart and Andrew discuss how modern digital platforms, particularly social media, are designed to hijack human attention through powerful AI-driven engagement loops. These mechanisms prioritize negative emotions and instant gratification, making it increasingly difficult for individuals to focus on deep, meaningful work. They suggest that future AI advancements could paradoxically help free people from screens, allowing them to engage with technology in a more intentional and productive way.AI as a Creative Partner—But Not Yet a True Challenger – While AI is already being used in creative fields, such as Hollywood's subtle use of AI for film corrections, it currently lacks the ability to provide meaningful pushback or true creative debate. Andrew argues that the best creative partners challenge ideas rather than just assist with execution, and AI's tendency to be agreeable and non-confrontational makes it a less valuable collaborator for artists who need critical feedback to refine their work.The Pendulum Swing of Human and Technological Aesthetics – Throughout history, every major technological advancement in the arts has been met with a counter-movement embracing raw, organic expression. Just as the rise of synthesizers in music led to a renewed interest in acoustic and folk styles, the rapid expansion of AI-generated art may inspire a resurgence of appreciation for handcrafted, deeply personal artistic works. The human yearning for tactile, real-world experiences will likely grow in response to AI's increasing role in creative production.The Enduring Value of Art Beyond Economic Utility – In a world increasingly shaped by economic efficiency and optimization, Andrew stresses the need to reaffirm the intrinsic value of art. While capitalism dominates, the real significance of artistic expression lies in its ability to move people, create connection, and offer meaning beyond financial metrics. This perspective is especially crucial in an era where AI-generated content is flooding the creative landscape, potentially diluting the sense of personal expression that defines human art.The Need for Intentionality in Using AI – AI's potential to streamline work processes and enhance creative output depends on how humans choose to engage with it. Stewart notes that while AI can be a powerful tool for structuring time and filtering distractions, it can also easily pull people into mindless consumption. The challenge lies in using AI with clear intention—leveraging it to automate mundane tasks while preserving the uniquely human aspects of ideation, storytelling, and artistic vision.The Role of Poetry and Language in Reclaiming Humanity – In a technology-driven world where efficiency is prioritized over depth, poetry serves as a reminder of the human experience. Andrew highlights the power of poets and clowns—figures often dismissed as impractical—as essential in preserving creativity, playfulness, and emotional depth. He suggests that valuing poetry and artistic language can help counterbalance the growing mechanization of culture, keeping human expression at the forefront of civilization's evolution.

James 1:5If you're dealing with problems caused by your own foolishness, ask God what wise course of action you can take to turn your problems in the right direction. As you seek His wisdom for your decisions and responses to everyday life, the right attitudes and actions will become clearer.

Instead of focusing on current events, they delve into the big picture, examining historical cycles of empires and their modern implications. They explore the essay's breakdown of the life stages of empires—pioneers, conquests, commerce, affluence, intellect, decadence, and decline and collapse—illustrate with examples from various historical empires like Assyria, Persia, Greece, Rome, and the Arab Empire. They also discuss how these observations resonate with current issues in the United States, including the welfare state, influx of foreigners, internal political divisions, and the rising influence of intellectualism and materialism. This episode offers a comprehensive understanding of historical patterns and their relevance to contemporary societal trends. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:19 The Fate of Empires: An Introduction 03:12 Stages of Empire: From Pioneers to Decline 05:24 Historical Examples of Empires 13:40 The Age of Commerce and Its Impact 20:27 The Age of Intellect and Its Consequences 25:34 Modern Reflections on Empire 29:37 The Role of Education and Intellectualism 30:36 Historical Civil Wars and Internal Conflicts 31:24 The Influx of Foreigners in Great Empires 37:06 The Roman Mob and Free Distributions 47:38 Decadence and Moral Corruption 53:20 Summary and Final Thoughts

One of the biggest powers that holds Western people captive is intellectualism. The intellect is obviously a great gift from God. But what about when it goes wrong? Jessie declares what's important in this sermon in our series on the Powers . Readings: Jeremiah 9.23-26 1 Corinthians 1.18-31 Mark 13.1-8

Sermon Outline I.  The Idol of Materialism (1-9) A.  Another feeding B.  A different meaning II.  The Idol of Supernaturalism (10-13) A.  Demand B.  Denial III. The Idol of Intellectualism (14–21) A.  Physical assumption B.  Moral confusion

We love to hear from listeners and contacting us is easy here.  We offer these shows for free. If you think it's worthy of a small contribution, we sure would appreciate it. We're dedicating another show to horsey intellectualism. Intellectualism roughly means thinking, studying, and/or discussing complicated ideas without getting emotional. I guess what we do on this show is a sort of low-level intellectualism, redneck intellectualism, because we're not consulting great philosophers or significant texts. But we are bouncing around ideas that are complicated and less straight forward than a lot of articles or social media posts seem to make them.  I think owners and riders inevitably come across these ideas in their time with horses. I know I do, sometimes as I'm riding along, sometimes as I'm lying in bed, pondering a life with or without equines. Not much is black and white. There's a lot of grey area to consider when it comes to, well, everything, but in this case, horse care and management. Doesn't it seem like there has been a lot of outrage and side-taking lately? Maybe we could be doing more listening and show a little more curiosity? Anyway, for episode 4, I invited Daniel Dauphin, the Louisiana horseman whose specialty is bit function and design and horse mouth anatomy.  Thankfully, he's not one to shy away from what he calls ‘career suicide' by saying things that might not be in step with the latest money-making trend or attention-grabber. I was happy to bug him for this continuation of a related chat with Nina Fuller last week in which we talked about livestock and our agrarian lives. Daniel and I bounce around the ways in which people perceive the treatment of animals. What does abuse look like? Certainly, it looks different to different people. How is that so? And, what does the horse want and need? Can we decipher that objectively or do we get misdirected by questionable motivations?

They also make products for your stalls and chickens. Check them out at lucerne farms com Watch Daniel Dauphin's BHPS presentation.  Visit his website.  Check out his YouTube channel.  As I mentioned in the last episode, horses are livestock. When it comes to laws and policies, that puts them in roughly the same category as sheep and cattle, not dogs and cats. Over the last few generations, however, as an increasing percentage of horses are used for exclusively recreational purposes. In popular culture, barn culture, in a materialistic and consumer-driven world, the species has moved into a fuzzy space between livestock and pets. American laws, for instance, are sometimes at odds with prevailing attitudes. It can be messy. And, yes, we know that the practicality of putting horses together at Olympic events is probably problematic. But why not, for instance, put them in with other horses they know? Seabiscuit traveled with a companion. Rodeo horses are put together. I could be cynical and say it's all about money, but can we think outside the box – even if it is lined with locally sourced shavings? We can't wait to hear from listeners. What do you think about animals in our society? How do we balance old standards of agriculture and animal treatment with where we are now and what we know now and, for us horse owners, what we need and want from our equine partners? It doesn't escape me that Daniel and I live rural existences, maybe more rural and old fashioned than many listeners. Our points of view come from cumulative observation and interaction with land and animals. Your days and interactions are not our days and interactions. That's one reason I'm interested in hearing from your shared or different perspectives.

We love to hear from listeners and contacting us is easy here.  We offer these shows for free. If you think it's worthy of a small contribution, we sure would appreciate it. This is Episode 3 of Season 5 and we're dedicating the next few shows to some horsey intellectualism. I like to look up words, to make sure I'm saying what I mean. Intellectualism roughly means thinking, studying, and/or discussing complicated ideas without getting emotional. I guess what we do on this show is a sort of low-level intellectualism, redneck intellectualism, because we're not consulting great philosophers or significant texts. But we are bouncing around ideas that are more complicated, less straight forward, say, than which muck rake is best or how hay prices are looking this summer. I think horse owners and riders inevitably come across these ideas in their time with equines. I know I do, sometimes as I'm riding along, sometimes as I'm lying in bed, pondering a life with or without horses. Anyway, for episode 3, I invited Nina Fuller of Lily Brook Farm in Hollis Maine to join me. Nina is a heckuva accomplished woman. About 14 years ago, she got in touch with me and wrote a few guest columns for what was then my new website, NickerNews. She is a farmer and raises sheep. She's an award-winning photographer. But until about 10 years ago, we hadn't met. That was when I was driving cross country, from Utah to Maine. I stopped, off a state highway, in a desolate section of northern Colorado and was just about to let my dogs out for a break when two lambs came rushing up to me. They were very young, maybe a week old, with shriveled umbilical cords, and in the middle of nowhere. I picked them up and searched in vain for a rancher, a ranch, someone or some ewe who could claim them. To no avail. So, they joined me cross country and – long story short – they ended up at Nina's farm. Find Nina on Facebook.  Order her book, "Where's Hope?" from Cayuse Communications.  Listen to the cross-country story here.   So, yes, back then when I called her for help, “What should I do with these lambs? How can I save them?” Nina and I didn't know each other except through email. I'm indebted to her for her kindness, her expertise, and for taking the lambs. I think she has been happy with the lambs, who she named Emma and Pearl and who have given her many lambs over the years. Pearl died last week. Our conversation ties into a broader conversation around pets and livestock, animals in our modern world. Next up, Daniel Dauphin, who has been doing some pondering over the recent hullabaloo with suspended Olympian Charlotte Dujardin. This has gotten Daniel and I and I'm sure many of you thinking about what folks consider wellness, if it belongs in the livestock world, and with what different people consider abuse, horse welfare and wellbeing. Let's just say what Charlotte Dujardin did pales in comparison to what Brett and Alexis Ingraham did at the tragically ironically named Fair Play Farm in Maine – something I reported on years ago. We'll consider the broad spectrum of standards in horse communities, amidst the many disciplines and cultures. Horses, of course, are livestock. When it comes to laws and policies, that puts them in the roughly the same category as sheep and cattle, not dogs and cats. Over the last few generations, however, as an increasing percentage of horses are used recreationally, in popular culture and especially women's barn culture, the species has moved into a grey area between livestock and pets. American laws, for instance, are sometimes at odds with prevailing attitudes. It can be messy.

It doesn't escape me that Nina and I live rural existences, maybe more rural and old fashioned than many listeners. Our choices come from cumulative observation and interaction with creatures, domestic and wild, in our admittedly small spheres of land and animals. That's one reason I'm interested in hearing from your shared or different perspectives.  I like to think we're all mindful to carefully avoiding anyone or anything suffering, but, of course, we can't avoid death. It's part of life. I've been thinking about these things a lot since my mom died and my horse, Barry, died, in quick sequence, less than two years ago. Like so many people in today's world, I'd managed to avoid much interaction with death. On the eve of turning 60, I'm giving it more attention and considering how just like life, death is all around us if we're paying attention. We don't need to be afraid of it or get dark and brooding over it. It just is.  Thanks to Redmond Equine for generously sponsoring our show.

I ramble about free will skepticism and emergent chaos theories, two things I do not understand in really any way.

On this episode of The Black Lotus Podcast, it's very fitting for the finale of this season to feature an essential sage, Myles Savage, and a new sage, Chandler Mullins. The discussion you will witness is one of existential contemplation, with the hope that it leads you to consider what is necessary for your success. We delve into the differences in black culture at PWIs and HBCUs, the sad truth about the current state of affairs for Black people as a society, diverse perspectives on viewing the world, and many more gems.

John 7:17 — In its deepest time of need, the world did not receive the Son of God. This is as true today as it was when the Gospel of John was written. But why does the world persist in its unbelief? In light of its desperation, how is it possible that the world continues to reject the extraordinary message of the gospel? In this sermon on John 7:17 titled “To Know God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues his study of unbelief and says that unbelief is moral rather than merely intellectual. He then goes on to expound why this must be the case based upon an understanding of the nature of God and the truth of the Christian faith. In their prejudice, people want to make Christianity an intellectual or detached academic endeavor. Intellectualism allows exploration of religion in lab coats rather than coming face-to-face with the fact that all are sinners who cannot approach a holy God with feeble intellect. While the majority of the world rejects the gospel of Christ, Christians have eyes to understand the moral dilemma and flee to Christ by faith. Listen to Dr. Lloyd-Jones teach on unbelief to not only understand its characteristics, but more importantly to worship the Son of Man who came to seek and save the lost.

The weight of grief descends upon us all at some point in life. It arises from loss, whether of people or parts of ourselves we can no longer recognize. When it comes to the unbearableness of grief, our primal instincts may be to swallow the feelings and push forward. But it is only when we allow the feelings of mourning and embrace what loss means that we can unmask the transformative nature it holds.Through his extensive body of work teaching philosophy, practicing psychoanalysis, and publishing a series of books on the topic, Jonathan Lear has taken all he has come to know and study about grief and used it to analyze his own deeply personal confrontation with the mourning process.In this episode of the Art of Listening, Jonathan will take us on a historical journey from ancient times to modern day as he discusses his studies that tie together the practices of philosophy and psychoanalysis, the importance of dialogue in thoughtful discovery.  We'll also learn how these studies provided Jonathan with the foundation to form his own philosophical findings on the process of grief and mourning.Chapters1 - Jonathan's international philosophy studies (3:24)2 - How philosophy led Jonathan to psychoanalysis (6:19)3 - Where ancient philosophy and modern psychoanalysis intersect (8:59)4 - The role narratives play in the psychoanalytic setting (14:01)5 - Grief and mourning, and maintaining hope in human life (25:22)LinksJonathan LearJonathan's BooksThe Art of ListeningEileendunnpsyd.com

Throughout our lives, in our quest for meaning, we often seek out intellectual pursuits, believing that the more we know, the more we will be able to understand ourselves and the world around us. While education equips us with theoretical knowledge, an excessive emphasis on intellectualism can overshadow the profound growth opportunities pure human connection is capable of, which often transcends the confines of logic. Similarly, we can only get so far analyzing our own internal thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Genuine self-understanding requires more than just introspection. During his professional life, Dan Perlitz came to realize that while business ventures and academia benefitted personal growth, they still couldn't satisfy his desire for true self-understanding.  Dan is a physician, a former family doctor and real estate developer, and now a practicing Self-Psychological psychoanalyst in full-time practice in Toronto, Canada. Through his own experience with therapy, he realized the one crucial element missing in his search for meaning: an unbiased perspective. In this episode of the Art of Listening, Dan will tell us about how his unwavering commitment to find personal meaning led him to therapy, and to becoming a therapist after years in the business sector. He'll explain the value an unbiased vantage point offers, and how human-to-human connection is the catalyst necessary to ultimately unleash our true potential for self-discovery and growth.Chapters1 - Dan's transition from Business to Psychology (3:10)2 - Over-Intellectualism in therapeutic practice (9:11)3 - How Dan found a greater meaning through Psychology (13:40)4 - Why Empathy is not value-neutral (22:29)LinksDan PerlitzDan's Academic JournalsEileen Dunn's Website

The academic boycott of Israel, a branch of the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, is one of the richest—and most divisive—topics in the politics of knowledge today. In Boycott Theory and the Struggle for Palestine: Universities, Intellectualism and Liberation (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022), Nick Riemer addresses the most fundamental questions raised by the call to sever ties with Israeli universities, and offers fresh arguments for doing so. More than a narrow study of the boycott campaign, the book details how academic BDS relates to a range of live controversies in progressive politics on questions such as disruptive protest, silencing and free speech, the real-world consequences of intellectual work, the rise of the far right, and the nature of grassroots campaigning. Written for open-minded readers, the book presents the fullest justification for the academic boycott yet given, considering BDS efforts on campuses around the world. The opening chapters explore the fundamentals of the academic boycott campaign, detailing the conditions on the ground in Palestinian and Israeli higher education and analyzing debates over the boycott and its adoption or resistance in the west. The later chapters contextualize the boycott with respect to broader questions about the links between theory and practice in political change. Directly rebutting the arguments of BDS's opponents, Boycott Theory and the Struggle for Palestine demonstrates the political and intellectual soundness of a controversial and often misrepresented campaign. In defending an original view of the differences between reflecting on politics and doing it in the specific context of the liberation of Palestine, the book's arguments will have a resonance for many wider debates beyond the context of either universities or the Middle East. Nick Riemer is senior lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Sydney. As a Palestine solidarity activist, Riemer has published widely in both academic and popular outlets and been criticized openly by conservative media. In addition to his Palestine solidarity work, his political activity includes long-term, close involvement both with the Australian National Tertiary Education Union and with the Refugee Action Coalition in Sydney, a grassroots refugee rights group. He has written for The Guardian, Jacobin, Al Jazeera English, The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and many other publications. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.

The academic boycott of Israel, a branch of the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, is one of the richest—and most divisive—topics in the politics of knowledge today. In Boycott Theory and the Struggle for Palestine: Universities, Intellectualism and Liberation (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022), Nick Riemer addresses the most fundamental questions raised by the call to sever ties with Israeli universities, and offers fresh arguments for doing so. More than a narrow study of the boycott campaign, the book details how academic BDS relates to a range of live controversies in progressive politics on questions such as disruptive protest, silencing and free speech, the real-world consequences of intellectual work, the rise of the far right, and the nature of grassroots campaigning. Written for open-minded readers, the book presents the fullest justification for the academic boycott yet given, considering BDS efforts on campuses around the world. The opening chapters explore the fundamentals of the academic boycott campaign, detailing the conditions on the ground in Palestinian and Israeli higher education and analyzing debates over the boycott and its adoption or resistance in the west. The later chapters contextualize the boycott with respect to broader questions about the links between theory and practice in political change.

Series: Mystical TheologyUnit 14: Gregory PalamasEpisode 6: Triumph of Ascetic Theology Over IntellectualismThe sixth episode in our series presents the differing perspectives of Palamas' three theological opponents, who curiously shared a common intellectualistic approach to matters theological, which gradually, since Augustine of Hippo, became the fundamental approach of the West: philosophical speculation.A word is also offered regarding St. Gregory's capture by the Ottoman Turks in 1354 and his being held hostage for about a year. Themes covered in this episode include similarities and differences between Barlaam, Akindynus and Gregoras; why the essence-energies distinction is not ditheism; Palamas' disarming distinction between “Antilogia” and “Homologia”; St. Gregory held hostage by the Ottoman Turks; and the outcome of Palamas' discussion with the Turkish Mullah.Q&As related to Episode 6 available in The Professor's Blog.Recommended background reading: Christopher Veniamin, ed., Saint Gregory Palamas: The Homilies (Dalton PA: 2022).TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why three opponents?00:12 Barlaam the Calabrian05:10 Gregory Akindynus14:50 Nicephorus Gregoras16:46 Essence-Energies distinction18:30 “Antilogia” and “Homologia”22:47 Palamas Taken Hostage24:05 Discussions with Turkish MullahIt is hoped that these presentations will help the enquirer discern the profound interrelationship between Orthodox theology and the Orthodox Christian life, and to identify the ascetic and pastoral significance of the Orthodox ethos contained therein. The Happy Writer with Marissa MeyerAuthors, from debuts to bestsellers, chat about books, writing, publishing, and joy.

I am open to being featured in this: “Softcore is an adjective that describes anything that is a softer or gentler alternative to hardcore content. There is softcore music, softcore workouts and softcore sporting fans. In pornongraphy, softcore usually describes images and films that are sexual in nature, but not as explicit as hardcore pornographic works. The term softcore can also be shorthand for softcore pornography or softcore porn. Softcore content places a greater emphasis on sensuality than sex. The models or actors in softcore content may never even touch another person. Instead, they may model lingerie or perform a sensual striptease for the camera. The camera aims to capture the beauty of the female or male form. Softcore works can also show models or actors interacting sensually and sexually. Softcore works typically present these interactions in the context of loving relationships. They may spend more time kissing, embracing, or caressing one another than in hardcore works. Softcore works do not typically show actual penetration although the actors may simulate it. While softcore content may show solo or mutual masturbation, it generally does not show oral sex or ejaculation. While the performers are often nude or semi-nude, softcore works usually do not show erect penises. If they do show erect penises, it's unlikely that the aroused actor or costars would touch the erections. Vulvas may be shown, although they are sometimes digitally manipulated to suit local censorship standards. Softcore models and actors may wear latex genital covers to prevent intimate physical contact during simulated sex. Like works that are hardcore, softcore content still aims to arouse its viewers. It was originally seen in men's magazines of the 1950s when it was still considered unacceptable to show explicitly sexual images. While softcore images appeared earlier, The New York Times was the first publication to use the term softcore in 1966. Softcore content was very popular from the 1970s to the 1990s. However, with the rise of free hardcore porn online, softcore porn has become less common.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

This episode of Remonstrance is entirely devoted to the question, “What is the will of God?” We first discuss the Calvinist understanding of the will of God to provide context for the Arminian understanding. We also look at Calvin's distinction between the decretive and prescriptive will of God. We then discuss the philosophical differences between Voluntarism and Intellectualism. It is more important than you might think. We then look at the distinction between the Antecedent and Consequent will of God that Arminius emphasized in his theological writings. We then look at the question of divine determinism and look at how Thomas C. Oden explains how God governs the world according to His will. We hope you are blessed by this episode!

On January 28th, Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen published the video "Stop Celebrating Stupidity | The Rise of Anti-Intellectualism," which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmFn619GnrI. Are we celebrating stupidity? Have we descended into anti-intellectual madness these days? Key topics:✔️ At 7:28, I believe he hits the nail on the head when he talks about the attitude of curiosity. ✔️If we are celebrating stupidity, who benefits from that? Because you can rest assured: someone does. ✔️It seems like the media plays fast and loose with the term "expert." IMO, the notion of an expert or even an economist has become: this person is willing to say what we want them to say and nothing more.

The best way not to be taken in by that, which is false, is to know (from facts to experience) that which is true. The false teachers in the first century taught about a four-headed monster that consisted of intellectualism, ritualism, mysticism, and legalism.

In this episode Val and Nathan review several common cognitive biases that many Christians struggle with due to their Christian leadership's tendency to constrict intellectualism.  When intellectualism is stifled, we do not become complex thinkers and we tend to overlook these biases and shortchange our own God-given abilities to grow in knowledge, truth, and wisdom.  The biases are these:  1. Confirmation bias 2. Complexity bias 3. Community bias 4. Comfort and compancency bias 5. Confidence bias 6. Conspiracy bias 7. Catastrophe/normalcy bias  8. Cash bias.  Books referenced in this episode:  “Do I Stay Christian?” By Brian McLaren 2. Origins of Power by D. Michael Quinn   Book referenced in this epode:  Living an Examined Life by James Hollis (one of Valerie's top scholarly crushes). ************************************************* Contact Valerie at info@valeriehamaker.com to get on a waitlist for one of her space limited processing/support groups mentioned in detail in this episode.

Summary: In the season finale, we meet Kessia Reyne Bennett. Her name may sound familiar as she's been frequently mentioned in other stories in this podcast. But today we hear Kessia's story — one that is relatable and yet wildly unique.Kessia always had a strong affinity for intellect and reasoning coupled with a deep spirituality. Not coming from a background of means, she saw explicit examples of God's provision in her life, slowly building to a career in ministry. But as her knowledge increased and her blessings multiplied, unknown anxiety reared its head. What calmed the storm? A beautiful promise where Jesus spoke freedom: don't be afraid — just believe.Keywords: Poverty / Intellectual / Introvert / Security / Anxiety / Spirituality / Belief
