Freemasonry & PoliticsGreetings from the EastWe are correctly told that the discussion of religion and politics is forbidden in the Lodge. The reason why is so obvious that the phrase has become axiomatic, such that any discussion of them could automatically lead to sharp differences and worse. There are good lessons to be learned from whence Freemasonry emerged, and it having had a profound effect on the future of worldwide governments.From its organizational origins, which publicly arose after the very bloody and horrific English Civil War of 1642-1651 (matched with other European wars), the learned framers of our Craft and ritual introduced language we take for granted—brotherhood, friendship, brotherly affection and unity, intentionally superseding adversarial positions that even they held. These civil wars shocked both sides, as all violent wars do. Neglectful, totalitarian or dictatorial powers will always lead to corruption, hubris and abuse, thus eventually being the cause of all political and civil strife, and can ultimately, tragically, cost human life.This does not mean however that we cannot and should not ever talk about political issues. Intelligent, wise and experienced men should be free to express ideas or insights to their brothers, who should be willing to listen, but with a caveat. I have known brothers who expressed regrettable comments unbecoming a Freemason...on both sides of the political divide (not from our lodge). The truth should be revealed. Entrenched dogma can be problematic. But so can emotional or speculative idealism. It is during open lodge where the prohibition is in effect. So feel free to speak. Yet the question remains are we even capable of having serious and reasonable dialogue about serious issues amongst ourselves whenever the occasion arises? Truth is a painful antiseptic to any idealism and provides a motive to evolve toward higher realizations.John McCargar, HA, 32°Master

This intro requires few words. We have a friend with a huge podcast and radio audience. 170 stations strong and he gave us the courtesy of interviewing me to help us get our stories told and raise the awareness for the MB condition. Dr. Ronald Hoffman, the longest running physician hosted radio show in syndication on 170 radio stations had no idea what a Myocardial Bridge was. He wanted to know and he wanted his audience to know once he took a look at the book. He gets it and he understood it well enough that he wanted to help us share it to his audience. He saw the value to both his listeners as well as the doctors that listen to his Intelligent Medicine radio show and podcast. With the deepest gratitude, I cannot thank him enough. We're making noise, we're getting traction and we're saving lives in our collective effort to continue to keep getting the word out. Thank you Dr. Hoffman for your interest to host me on "Intelligent Medicine Podcast"!The interview on his podcast is in this link: https://drhoffman.com/rethinking-heart-health-uncovering-myocardial-bridges/You can find out more about Dr. Ronald Hoffman by visiting his website https://drhoffman.com/

Il a contribué à forger le web moderne en co-inventant XML chez Microsoft. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, Jean Paoli poursuit un même objectif : transformer les documents en données intelligibles pour les machines. Avec sa start-up Docugami, cet ingénieur français passé par l'Inria et les batailles fondatrices de l'Internet chez Microsoft, s'attaque à un gisement monumental : les documents longs, complexes et essentiels des entreprises : contrats, rapports cliniques, documents financiers…Contrairement aux usages classiques des LLM, Docugami ne se contente pas de “tchatter” avec des PDF. Son approche repose sur une étape intermédiaire : transformer les documents en arbres sémantiques XML, son vieux cheval de bataille, pour en extraire des données fiables, manipulables, réutilisables. Résultat : une base semi-structurée sur laquelle l'IA est plus efficace.Installée à Seattle, soutenue par Bob Muglia, ancien directeur général de Snowflake, Docugami s'implante en France avec un labo privé. Une façon pour Jean Paoli, produit de l'excellence française, de contribuer à une IA souveraine. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In this highly anticipated return episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper welcomes back Paul LeBlanc, former President of SNHU and current Chairman of the new AI education startup, Matter and Space. This captivating conversation dives deep into how Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword, but a transformative force fundamentally reshaping education.Paul explains how AI is being leveraged today for massive productivity gains in operations and curriculum design, challenging educators to rethink pedagogy from "product" to "process." They explore the critical question of whether AI can finally bend the cost curve of higher education and democratize access, where previous technologies fell short. The discussion also bravely confronts the societal implications of AI, from its potential to inadvertently increase loneliness if not carefully managed, to its power to unlock a "golden age" focused on uniquely human jobs like teaching, social work, and healthcare. Paul shares his vision for Matter and Space's human-centered approach to AI-powered learning and paints a compelling picture of what the learning ecosystem could look like in 5-10 years.Key Takeaways from this Episode:AI's Real-World Impact in Education: Discover how AI is driving significant productivity gains in university operations and curriculum development right now.Rethinking Pedagogy in the AI Age: Learn why educators must shift their focus from assessing "products" (like essays) to guiding the "process" of learning with AI, using advanced prompting and critical evaluation.Bending the Cost Curve: Paul's perspective on whether AI can finally make quality higher education radically more affordable and accessible, addressing the systemic challenges he outlined in his book "Broken."The Human-Centered Future of Work: A bold vision for how AI might displace information-age jobs, creating an imperative to prioritize and properly value distinctly human roles focused on care, connection, and community.AI's Societal Dichotomy: A candid discussion on the risk of increased loneliness and decreased social competency due to technology, and AI's potential to either exacerbate or mitigate these challenges by fostering genuine human interaction in learning environments.About Our Guest:Paul LeBlanc is the former transformative President of Southern New Hampshire University and now serves as Chairman of Matter and Space, an AI education startup. A renowned innovator and author of "Broken," Paul is recognized for his pioneering work in online and competency-based education, and his deep insights into the future of learning, technology, and access.

As payment methods diversify and customer expectations increase, the traditional collection and lockbox processing model must evolve. The growing complexity of incoming payments—especially non-conforming mail and unstructured transactions—coupled with the change in expectations, demand smarter, scalable solutions.

Episode 555 - Karl Hörnell - Singularity Minus Twelve - sci-fi at its finest—bold, unsettling, and fiercely intelligentKarl Hörnell is a cartoonist and a game developer with a degree in engineering and a PhD in applied mathematics. He grew up in a quiet suburb north of Uppsala, Sweden, where he spent way too much time doing creative things for no good reason. Thankfully, he has been able to continue on that track for most of his adult life.Book: Singularity Minus TwelveIn a near future where artificial general intelligence has been achieved, AIs that develop self-awareness are becoming a problem. Difficult to contain, they are often hunted and destroyed, but a team of exceptional ones has been spared to take down the most dangerous rogue AI of all time.Singularity Minus Twelve is a sci-fi thriller that delves into the near-term philosophical and societal implications of artificial intelligence, while having some fun playing with characters inspired by popular fictional AIs."I love a thoughtful, well-executed narrative and Singularity Minus Twelve by Karl Hörnell was an absolute treat for me. This is one of those rare books that grips you with its sharp intelligence.Set against the haunting backdrop of a future shaped—and perhaps doomed—by runaway artificial intelligence, Singularity Minus Twelve beautifully blends fast-paced action with deeply philosophical questions about agency, consciousness, and the terrifying, blurry line between human and machine. From the nerve-wracking opening scene of a doll-like rogue robot outsmarting a tactical team, to the subtle but chilling political undercurrents about global AI arms races, author Hörnell builds a disturbingly plausible world.The characters, especially Blake, are written with emotional depth and nuance. His struggles with memory loss and identity ground the bigger tech-driven narrative in something heartbreakingly human. I loved how even amid the breakneck plot, the novel kept circling back to one core question: What happens when we create minds we don't understand—and can't control?The pacing was relentless but never at the cost of intelligent storytelling. If I had to nitpick, I'd say a few sections could have been tightened just a bit, but honestly, that's just me wishing the story could have flowed even smoother because I was so invested.If you love hard science fiction with heart, danger, and razor-sharp insight into where humanity might be heading, you cannot miss Singularity Minus Twelve. This is sci-fi at its finest—bold, unsettling, and fiercely intelligent."

In a world increasingly shaped by science and technology, how do we determine what constitutes truth? What role does society play in shaping scientific knowledge consensus? And what are the implications for the future of research and innovation? In this episode, I sit down with Steve Fuller, a renowned sociologist of science from the University of Warwick in the UK, for a thought-provoking conversation. Steve and I explore the deep connections between science and sociology, discussing how science can learn from sociology and vice versa. Steve challenges conventional wisdom and invites us to critically examine the complex interplay between science, society, and the pursuit of knowledge. With a passion for exploring the philosophical underpinnings of science, he shares his insights on social epistemology, the philosophy of science, and the evolving role science should play in society, especially in an increasingly polarized world. —
