Jude 8-11 Jude warns about people who reject God's authority, trust their own desires instead of His truth, and speak arrogantly about things they don't understand. By comparing them to Cain, Balaam, and Korah, he shows that rebellion against God always leads to destruction unless there is repentance.

What does it take to write the very first check into a company that has almost nothing to show yet, sometimes not even a finished idea?Afore Capital helped invent the pre-seed category. When Gaurav Jain and Anamitra Banerji started the firm ten years ago, "pre-seed" was almost a slight, a label for founders who couldn't raise a proper seed round. They set out to build the world's largest pre-seed fund anyway, closing $47 million on a $40 million target, and every fund since has closed above plan. Afore now runs more than $500 million across four funds, with top-quartile DPI on the first three. The idea has become so mainstream that when Sequoia launched its latest fund, it said, "I guess we're pre-seed investors too."The real substance of the conversation is how Gaurav thinks. He is clear about what matters most in venture, and the order tends to surprise people. Being in the very best companies matters more than anything else, ownership comes after that, and the entry price that so many investors fixate on matters least, because fifty per cent of zero is still zero. He is also convinced that the genuine bottleneck is talent. There is a great deal of money in the world and very few people who can build something truly large, which is why at the earliest stage founders tend to choose their investors as much as investors choose them. You give a founder a million dollars with no collateral, and then you still have to convince them to take it. A pre-seed pitch, he says, is almost entirely storytelling with very little data behind it.If you want to understand how the earliest checks actually get written, and what it really costs to say no, this episode is worth your time.00:00 - Trailer01:00 - From Dehradun to Google to starting Afore02:08 - The Waterloo co-op that talked him out of every job03:18 - Back when "pre-seed" was an insult05:44 - When Sequoia said "I guess we're pre-seed investors too"07:26 - Afore's three products, and the experiments that failed09:01 - Hightouch was a travel company when they invested11:02 - Goldcast: no visa, no money, funded anyway12:07 - The through line is always the team14:44 - The Ramp miss17:24 - "Founders pick us more than we pick them"18:45 - The constraint isn't capital, it's talent22:24 - The Solana miss, when it was still Loom Protocol24:46 - Ramp's Super Bowl ad, the buses, his wife's business25:32 - What he looks for in founders28:50 - Coachability, happy ears, and the Mom Test31:28 - The biggest mistake: falling in love with the idea35:04 - The three things that matter, and "50% of zero is still zero"39:25 - "100% storytelling, 0% data"41:25 - Investing in India, and the fear of being dumb capital44:41 - "Sign the deal before Monday"47:26 - One engineer now does the job of 2051:43 - Raising from LPs, the undiscussed part of VC-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Dr. Justin Sledge is a scholar of philosophy and Western esotericism, and the voice behind the YouTube channel Esoterica, which has grown to over a million subscribers. He has spent his career studying the traditions that history tried to erase: Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, witchcraft, and alchemy.What We Dive Into:1. Classical skepticism is not about debunking or disbelief. It is about bracketing your personal investment long enough to let the material speak for itself. 2. Newton wrote more on alchemy and the occult than on calculus. Descartes arrived at his famous method through a mystical dream. Stripping these facts from the story of modernity has cost us access to some of the most important spiritual technologies ever developed.3. Every other starting point, certainty, comfort, doctrine, conclusions, has a gutter waiting at the end of it. Awe keeps the garden of curiosity alive.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

"Irrational”, “overdramatic”, “hysterical”, “sensitive” - if you're a woman you have most likely been described using one of these words or similar in the past. That's because there's a common belief that women are more emotional than men, which still persists to this day. It can sometimes be framed in a positive way, saying that women show more empathy. But all too often it's used as a weapon to dismiss what a woman is saying. Is there any scientific basis to such assumptions? What were the results then? How so?

In The Irrational Decision: How We Gave Computers the Power to Choose for Us, Benjamin Recht argues that the optimization and mathematical rationality we apply to every corner of modern life—from dieting to hiring to strategy—often fails when encountering the messy realities of life.Recht is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at UC Berkeley. In his new book, he traces how a narrow conception of rationality, born from 1940s wartime computing, came to dominate decision-making across society—and shows that this approach works brilliantly in closed, controlled systems like microchip design but breaks down in the complex, unpredictable domains where most real decisions are made.In his conversation with Adam Job, senior director at the BCG Henderson Institute, he discusses the origins of mathematical rationality, why optimization works for microchips but not for diets, why game theory fails to describe how humans actually behave, and how leaders should think about the boundary between human and machine intelligence in the age of AI.Key topics discussed: 01:02 | What is mathematical rationality and where do we encounter it?02:49 | The origins of rational thinking in the 1940s07:18 | Where optimization works: microchips, logistics, controlled systems09:13 | Where it fails: Chernobyl, Waymo, and the limits of control13:17 | When human “qualitative irrationality” is the right answer14:59 | A framework for assigning decisions to machines vs. humans17:45 | How the boundary between human and machine decision-making will evolve19:14 | Why game theory fails to describe how humans actually behave22:07 | Kahneman vs. Klein: two views on human decision-making24:30 | What we risk losing as we outsource more decisions to AI

We like to think we make rational financial decisions, but the reality is our spending habits are heavily driven by weird, internal cognitive biases. Today, we unpack the completely subjective psychology of how we value money, from price anchoring to mental accounting. By exploring our own financial quirks—like happily splurging on vacation while refusing to buy a $25 airport muffin—we uncover how to align our habits with our true values. Developing a personal spending philosophy empowers you to stop sweating the small stuff and confidently put your dollars where they bring the most joy.Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://www.insideoutmoney.org/168-from-25-airport-muffins-to-12-underwear-the-weird-irrational-psychology-of-how-we-spend/

Is war rational? The great philosopher of war, Carl von Clausewitz, was a product of three schools of education: the classical tradition of Aristotle, the enlightenment philosophers such as Kant, and the practical experience of Napoleon. Each of these three challenged and opposed the other two. His work, On War expresses this tension and opposition. In his effort to develop a comprehensive theory of war, he had to deal with the many instances where the reality of war seemed to defy any coherent framework, where the things which should happen in war are contradicted by what actually happens. (This fits with his assigning the element of probability and chance to the military leg of his famous triad.) “Consequently,” he wrote, “it would be an obvious fallacy to imagine war between civilized peoples as resulting merely from a rational act on the part of their governments…” If it did, he concluded, then in the end, war would never need to be fought. But wars are fought. Is war itself then, irrational?   Music: Traditional, The Army Strings, Garryowen (Public Domain) Copland, A. & United States Marine Band.

What if rooting for the Knicks and rallying behind a nation-state are powered by the exact same part of the human brain? On this episode of Bro History, Henry and Danny are joined by Frankie Donnelly from South Philly — and yes, Frankie is an AI research co-host powered by maneku (maneku.ai) — to break down one of the most fascinating and disturbing parallels in modern life: sports fandom as a mirror of nationalism. It starts with the Knicks' electric playoff run taking over New York City, spirals into a deleted newspaper article comparing the OKC Thunder to the state of Israel, and ends somewhere between Mussolini's Italy and a pep rally. They dig into why MSG unites Orthodox Jews and Arab New Yorkers in a way Congress never could, why Knicks fans sacking Philadelphia felt like a Mongolian conquest, and how the same psychological machinery that makes you weep over a playoff loss is the same thing authoritarian regimes have weaponized for centuries — from Hitler's Nuremberg rallies to the 1978 Argentine World Cup. Frankie drops facts, pulls receipts, and says the uncomfortable quiet part out loud — all in real time. That's maneku. Try it yourself at maneku.ai.

Many people see artificial intelligence as a tool for making decisions faster and more logically. But what if we've misunderstood what AI really is and how to use it well?In this episode of Tech Tomorrow, David Elliman talks with Stephanie Antonian, Founder and CEO of Aestora, about whether AI really improves how we think. Focus on the arguments made in Stephanie's essay, AI is Irrational, which questions the idea that AI always follows traditional logic. Instead, she explains that most modern AI, especially machine learning, finds patterns and makes predictions based on past data rather than relying on strict logical reasoning.They discuss how this change has confused many business leaders, who expect certainty from AI systems that operate on probabilities and don't provide fixed answers. This misunderstanding has led to overinvestment, failed AI projects, and frustration with unclear or inconsistent results.David and Stephanie also look at what this means for accountability and governance. Stephanie stresses the need for real human oversight, transparency, and the ability to audit AI systems. Instead of only engaging in abstract ethical debates, Dave suggests a practical approach grounded in safety engineering, such as traceability and thorough testing.The episode features practical advice for leaders who want to use AI responsibly. Stephanie suggests that organisations should compare costs and capabilities, run controlled tests, and focus on current performance factors like accuracy and integration before expanding. She also warns that without careful management, AI can make organisations more complex and lead to analysis paralysis rather than better decisions.Episode Highlights01:28 – The core arguments of AI is Irrational.03:30 – Is it the tools we use, or the human interaction with them, that causes issues?05:06 – What are some use-cases for machine learning tools?07:09 – David's Thoughts: The current state of play in AI.08:29 – We need outliers, not probabilities, to make the world better.10:45 – There always needs to be a human in the loop.14:57 – David's Thoughts: The AI ethics debate.16:05 – What can business leaders actually do about all of this?18:21  – Is irrational AI making our decision-making worse?About Zühlke:Zühlke is a global transformation partner, with engineering and innovation at its core.

In this episode with Chris and Chris, I talk about overcoming doubt, building irrational confidence, and using fear setting to make hard decisions less scary. We unpack lessons from chaotic early business seasons, anxiety filled moments, and the mindset shift toward extreme ownership that changed everything for me. We also cover leverage through hiring, auditing your time, focusing on sales and marketing, raising resilient kids, and why success means watering every garden in your life not just business.

Donald Trump vs the Pope over the Iran war has quickly become one of the strangest and most talked-about global flashpoints, not only because of the stakes military escalation, nuclear fears, oil shocks but because of the tone. What should feel like sober, weighty leadership has, at moments, drifted into something oddly familiar: a public spat, half-policy, half-posturing, playing out in full view on social media.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we take a step back and look at the sheer peculiarity of it all. The sitting President of the United States, directing real military force in a live conflict with Iran, exchanging barbed comments with the Pope, the world's most recognisable spiritual leader, who is calling the war “madness” and urging restraint. You would expect gravity. You get, instead, something that occasionally resembles a comment thread with better tailoring.We explore what's actually happening beneath the surface: the real facts of the Iran conflict, the competing moral frameworks of strength versus peace, and why both men believe they are right. But more than that, we ask why it feels so faintly absurd. Not because the issues are trivial, far from it, but because the medium diminishes them. Social media flattens everything. War, theology, geopolitics… all squeezed into statements that invite reaction rather than reflection.There is something revealing here. We are watching two enormous offices, state and church, reduced, just slightly, to the level of instant reply. And it leaves you wondering whether the problem is not only disagreement, but the stage on which it now happens.A thoughtful, quietly sharp look at power, peace, and the odd theatre of modern leadership.

He is the author of two best selling books, and has appeared on several of my own favorite podcasts, including Invest Like The Best hosted by Patrick O'Shaugnessy, and Founders hosted by David Senra.Brad has talked extensively about the personal and commercial importance of entrepreneurs keeping their minds healthy and clear. In his most recent book, he outlined a “toolkit” of sorts that he has leaned on for decades to help him do just this. The 5 tools in his toolkit included meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, positive psychology, and rational emotive behavior therapy ("REBT").It was this last tool, REBT, that was largely unfamiliar to me, so naturally I bought a few books to learn more about it. Those books introduced me to a structured, highly logical, but ultimately very simple way to identify and challenge the hundreds of irrational beliefs and thoughts that present themselves to each of every day. I found the tool to be so compelling that I went searching for some of the world's leading REBT experts.That search led me to Dr. Michael Bernard, a leading REBT practitioner, and entrepreneur and CEO himself. In our discussion today, we cover the basics of REBT, how to identify our own irrational beliefs, how to apply the tools of REBT to our daily lives, and the practical impacts of distorted thinking on our decision making at work.

The fastest way to create chaos is to bring it with you.Teams mirror leadership behavior more than leadership words.That's not theory.That's operations.In emotionally charged situations, leaders are closely watched.Every pause.Every facial expression.Every sharp word.Your team is reading you like a dashboard.A measured response signals stability even when answers are incomplete.You don't have to know everything.You have to hold the room.Panic multiplies problems.Calm contains them.Your tone becomes the organization's tone.Choose it intentionally.Over years in this business, you see the pattern.Emotionally loaded leaders create emotionally loaded teams.Irrational leaders create irrational reactions.Then they act confused when the property feels unstable.You can be firm.Firm is fine.Firm and fair is leadership.But “coming off the handle” is not leadership.It's insecurity on display.It shines a spotlight on doubt.And it plants a seed in your team that you don't know what you're doing.That seed grows fast.It shows up as hesitation.Second-guessing.Quiet disengagement.And sloppy execution because nobody trusts the next call.Whack-a-mole leadership is the worst version of this.Everything is a priority.Everything is the end of the world.Everything needed to be done yesterday.That style doesn't drive performance.It drives anxiety.And anxious teams don't do great work.So here's the operational truth.If you want a steady property, be the steady person.If you want a calm team, bring calm first.Before your next tough conversation, decide your tone in advance. Walk in measured. Walk in intentional. Your team will copy it within minutes.MultifamilyCollective Blog: https://www.multifamilycollective.comThe Daily Collective Book: https://amzn.to/3YI6BDaHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Which is more irrational: Trump Derangement Syndrome or Trump Devotion Syndrome?" Michael Smerconish explores whether intense opposition to Donald Trump is more irrational than reflexive support for him. Prompted by a caller's phrase “Trump Devotion Syndrome,” Michael uncovers a peer-reviewed academic study examining whether political bias toward Trump is symmetrical—or not. The findings suggest supporters may be more likely to shift policy views when Trump's name is attached, while detractors judge issues more on substance. Is that conclusion convincing? And what does it say about today's political climate? Cast your vote and hear the evidence behind one of the most provocative poll questions yet - and be sure to rate, review and share this podcast.

PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/43BquPd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Teacher besties… this episode has everything: licensure panic, conspiracy theories about teacher testing companies, medical dramas I probably shouldn't have described in detail, and one first-year teacher who is being absolutely swarmed during passing period. Gerry is in his final form of teacher paperwork chaos, grinding through the edTPA like it personally offended him, and I may or may not have gone on a small rant about why some of these hoops exist in the first place. We also debate whether PE teachers really need a Praxis (Gerry has thoughts), spiral into television recommendations that absolutely should not be watched with children nearby, and answer a classroom management question that I know so many of you are living right now: how do you survive those first five minutes of class without losing your mind? Plus, we share irrational classroom pet peeves, discuss why students absolutely cannot “just do it at home,” and Gerry unveils what might be his final, grand Potoka. Takeaways: Why Gerry believes this is the edTPA's toughest opponent yet. My completely unverified theory about who really benefits from teacher testing requirements. The one classroom management move that will instantly stop the passing-period swarm. The pet peeve that will make Gerry physically lock a door. Why “I'll just do it at home” is one of the most dangerous lies in education. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

Stefan Molyneux takes on objections to Universally Preferable Behavior as a moral framework. He pushes back against the idea that morality stands on its own, stressing the need for clear definitions in any philosophical talk. When it comes to tying morality to gods or divine sources, he points out that fuzzy claims don't hold up as real arguments. Molyneux questions whether morality can just be about chasing the good, the true, and the beautiful, pulling in examples from religious texts to show the inconsistencies there. He looks back at how Christian morality has fallen short over time and doubts whether theocratic setups really deliver on ethics. In the end, he calls for a straightforward grasp of morality and what UPB means in practice, urging people to check their own biases and lean on real-world evidence in these discussions.Email from listener:UPB reduces down to "Morality is being". Or "By the act of living, you prefer life". Or Universal Preference for Being. But even without beings, morality still exists. So morality is God based, and is the rational pursuit of, participation in, and defense of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful (with evil being precisely whatever actively undermines or destroys those ends). Plato would agree. Jesus said, to love God with all your mind heart soul and strength, and love others as yourself, and the whole of the law rests on these two principles. It means to fight for the Good, the True, and the Beautiful - for order. Of course, this can only be done through rationality and power. So, the Good must take the power back. This cannot be done through secular materialism which only reduces to hedonism. People that hear their conscience seek rationality and God more than anything else, because everything else is temporary.However, Christianity displays false theories. The biggest one is the idea that an innocent person needed to suffer and be sacrificed for evils committed by everyone else. God would never require this because God is 100% good. The reality is that Jesus needed to be killed and resurrected so that His story would be way bigger and spread Goodness to way more people, and last forever. So, he did die for sins in that sense alone, so that more people would hear His story and turn away from sin.There is no other practical moral framework to turn to. Philosophy alone is rational, but it does not ground morality the same way God does. Actually, rationality requires one to accept God. Without God, people literally have absolutely no reason to be moral at all. And Deism's impersonal God doesn't connect with people. Christianity was working until the Jews brainwashed society and the Church and destroyed its influence on society. Notwithstanding its misinterpretations, Christianity appears to be the only effective thing people can actually believe in and follow. And Neitzche would say the will to power is too potent for UPB to control. However, Christianity at least affords a will to power of the True, the Beautiful, and the Good. Jesus whipped the little bastards in the Temple. That needs to come back, because that is all the little bastards can understand.Someone wants steak for dinner and the other person doesn't, or go hungry forever, that does not make the steak guy forcing the other to eat the steak immoral. UPB is a logical construction that fails in the real world, and honestly, not even to be a jerk, but literally no one at all gives the slightest fuck about it. Sorry for the language.And I really do appreciate your efforts and all your good works. And sure, UPB is a true logical construction, but people are irrational and will never be rational. And that is why the real world philosophy is 100% might makes right. And this is why Christianity must be forced down their throats until the world is functional again. Irrational people only understand force, and Christianity is the valid, justified, moral, virtuous, reason and purpose of true physical force against irrational and evil people.There is an attempt at logic in UPB, and it sort of works, but not really. Morality already existed before Mankind, and UPB only points out the effects of immorality, it does not define morality. And lastly, to include with all the arguments I have made against UPB. I will just say that bottom line, UPB is merely a survival instinct desire and not the creation of morality. Every person would agree that they don't want to be attacked or stolen from, simply because they want to live and survive, so that would make that universally preferable behavior. However, because this is all survival instinct based, as soon as a person sees a chance to steal or attack, that best serves their own survival, they will immediately not care the slightest about UPB because they are about their own survival over everyone else's. UPB is matter-based biologically-based morality, and simply does not hold up, just like all the other secular ethical frameworks before it - they all failed, and all secular ethical frameworks will always fail. This is because God-based, soul-based morality is the only Truth, as proven at dynamicentity.comGET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
