Reflecting on why people tend to be entirely convinced they’re right—even when they’re not—author Julia Galef suggests that it has to do with a “soldier mindset.” When we approach the world with that mindset, we’re focused on defending what we already believe against what we see as threats. Galef believes that for much of life, a more helpful model is that of a scout—someone focused not primarily on eliminating threats but on seeking the complete truth: comprehending “what’s really there as honestly and accurately as you can, even if it’s not pretty or convenient or pleasant.” People with a scout mindset have the humility and integrity to continually grow in understanding as they learn new information. Galef’s insights bring to mind James’ encouragement that believers adopt a similar mindset—one where they’re “quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry” (1:19). Instead of being driven by kneejerk reactions to others, James urges believers to remember that human anger doesn’t lead to God’s righteousness (v. 20). Growth in wisdom is only possible through humble submission to His grace (v. 21; see Titus 2:11–14). When we remember that each moment of our lives is dependent on God’s grace—not on us—we can let go of a defensive need to always be right. And we can choose instead to rely on His grace as we seek His leading for how to live and care well for others (James 1:25–27).

Luisteraars! Het is de tweehonderdste aflevering van De Rudi & Freddie Show (tenminste, als je trailers en andere kleine prut in ons kanaal meerekent, en dat doen wij!). En het is ook de laatste aflevering, want Rutger gaat de podcast verlaten. Het komende jaar verhuist hij naar New York, voor de internationale lancering van zijn boek en... om een Amerikaanse tak van The School for Moral Ambition te beginnen. Een mooi moment om te reflecteren op acht jaar (!) Rudi & Freddie Show. Hoe komen we eigenlijk aan die vreselijke naam? Hoe slecht waren die eerste podcasts? Waarover zijn we anders gaan denken? Wat waren memorabele afleveringen? En: wat is Rutger allemaal van plan in het Amerikaanse? Tabee! Of nou ja, niet helemaal, want Freddie gaat hierna door zonder Rudi.

Sad news for all of us: producer Rachael Cusick— who brought us soul-stirring stories rethinking grief (https://zpr.io/GZ6xEvpzsbHU) and solitude (https://zpr.io/eT5tAX6JtYra), as well as colorful musings on airplane farts (https://zpr.io/CNpgUijZiuZ4) and belly flops (https://zpr.io/uZrEz27z63CB) and Blueberry Earths (https://zpr.io/EzxgtdTRGVzz)— is leaving the show. So we thought it perfect timing to sit down with her and revisit another brainchild of hers, The Cataclysm Sentence, a collection of advice for The End. To explain: one day in 1961, the famous physicist Richard Feynman stepped in front of a Caltech lecture hall and posed this question to a group of undergraduate students: “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?” Now, Feynman had an answer to his own question—a good one. But his question got the entire team at Radiolab wondering, what did his sentence leave out? So we posed Feynman's cataclysm question to some of our favorite writers, artists, historians, futurists—all kinds of great thinkers. We asked them “What's the one sentence you would want to pass on to the next generation that would contain the most information in the fewest words?” What came back was an explosive collage of what it means to be alive right here and now, and what we want to say before we go.
