Reconciliation, Becoming, and Public Trust in Real Estate Appraisal Reconciliation under USPAP SR 1-6 is often treated as a technical step at the end of the appraisal process. In practice, it is far more than a mechanical exercise. True reconciliation is not about averaging numbers or following software defaults—it is about professional judgment under uncertainty. USPAP requires appraisers to reconcile the quality and quantity of data, as well as the relevance and applicability of the valuation approaches used. This places reconciliation at the core of appraisal ethics, not just methodology. It is the moment where the appraiser must take responsibility not only for the final value conclusion, but for the reasoning that produced it. From a philosophical perspective, reconciliation reflects what Søren Kierkegaard described as “becoming”: the transition from following procedures to standing personally behind one's own choices. In this sense, reconciliation is an existential act. The appraiser cannot hide behind forms, templates, or algorithms. They must interpret conflicting evidence, assess uncertainty, and justify why certain data deserve greater credibility than others. This shift moves appraisal away from mechanical form-filling and toward intellectual accountability.  Appraisers are not fiduciaries in the legal sense, but they are stewards of public trust. Their primary obligation is not loyalty to the client, but loyalty to professional judgment, independence, and truth-seeking. Reconciliation is where data becomes knowledge, numbers become meaning, and appraisal becomes a genuinely ethical practice.

Porque lo que se ve es temporal, pero lo que no se ve es eterno (2 Corintios 4:18).En la frontera entre las dos Coreas, existe una zona intermedia que tiene 248 kilómetros de extensión y 4 de ancho. Se trata de una región creada en 1953, después de la guerra de Corea, cuyo propósito es mantener separados a ambos países en conflicto. Esta área es una tierra neutral que no pertenece a ninguno de los dos lados.En cuestiones de fe, muchas personas ocupan las fronteras. Allí se refugian aquellos que no pueden aceptar la existencia de Dios. Creen que la vida se reduce a lo que es material, palpable y visible. Para ellos, la fórmula de la existencia consiste en nacer, trabajar, acumular bienes y morir.El asunto se profundiza aún más cuando ocurren problemas graves, como la pérdida del empleo, la separación de los padres o la muerte de un ser querido. Entonces surgen preguntas como "Si Dios existe y es amor, ¿por qué sufrimos?" Ante la falta de respuestas plausibles, la fe cristiana pasa a ser vista como una muleta en manos de los débiles. La conclusión a la que muchos llegan es que, en la vida, lo importante es lo que vemos.En contra de este argumento, el filósofo Søren Kierkegaard contó la parábola de un hombre rico que paseaba en su lujoso, cálido y luminoso carruaje. Este era guiado por un campesino que, montado en su caballo, estaba expuesto al frío y a la oscuridad. Pero, precisamente, al estar acomodado cerca de la luz artificial interior, el hombre rico se perdió el paisaje de las estrellas en el cielo. Mientras tanto, el campesino, a pesar de sufrir las inclemencias del clima frío, pudo disfrutar de la gloriosa visión de esa noche.Hoy en día, parece que las luces artificiales de la ciencia, los medios y el materialismo están produciendo sombra sobre el mundo invisible que nos rodea. Liev Tolstói afirmó que los materialistas se equivocan al limitar la vida a sí misma. Tal vez tú seas uno de los que consideran lo visible como la realidad "máxima", la única realidad. ¡Cuidado! Es posible que las luces del mundo estén oscureciendo tu visión del Cielo.Mi invitación hoy es la siguiente: Abandona las fronteras de la fe y pásate al lado de Dios. Aunque no sientas ni entiendas, elige ver al Invisible. Esta visión "invertida" es la que realmente importa. 

Life for most of us is long enough to weigh what we believe and why. Yet, life is short in light of eternity. Too many people exchange what is passing for what is eternal. Kierkegaard reminds us it is a period of trial and examination. It comes to an end.

Men hva skjer når samarbeidet ikke fungerer? I denne episoden diskuterer fire studenter fra USN hva tverrfaglig samarbeid egentlig betyr i praksis, med utgangspunkt i en kronikk gruppa har skrevet. Vi utforsker rollekonflikt, ansvarsfraskrivelse og hva filosofen Kierkegaard kan lære oss om å hjelpe andre. Neste gang noen sier «vi må samarbeide mer», kanskje du heller bør spørre: hvordan kan vi samarbeide? Kilder:Pasient og brukerrettighetslovenHelsepersonell loven Barnevernloven Kierkegaard, S.  (2017, 10. februar).

Singer-songwriter Jon Guerra joins Mark Labberton to explore devotional songwriting, public faith, and the tension between the kingdom of Jesus and American cultural power. Through music and reflection, Guerra considers how art can hold grief, courage, and hope together in turbulent times. "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Guerra reflects on songwriting as prayer, the call to love enemies, and artistic courage in moments of cultural crisis. Together they discuss devotional music, George Herbert's influence, the Beatitudes and American culture, citizenship and immigration imagery, increasing polarization, suffering and grace, and the vocation of Christian artists. Episode Highlights "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." "When Jesus says to love your enemies… he is giving us a means of survival." "This is not sentimentality… the only way to resist becoming what one hates." "My songwriting… would be a means of coming into contact with the invisible God." "Beauty puts us in contact with invisible things." About Jon Guerra Jon Guerra is a singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas, known for devotional music that blends poetry, theology, and contemporary cultural reflection.

De är smarta och har kallats vår evolutionära spegelbild. Carl Magnus Juliusson håller ett försvarstal för papegojan och för upprepningen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vad är det för fel med att upprepa sig? Vad är det för fel med att upprepa sig? Vad är det för fel med att upprepa sig?När man upprepar sig är det som att man plötsligt får något omänskligt över sig. Man framstår som en robot, en hackig skivspelare – eller en papegoja. Det är som taget ur en tecknad film eller sci-fi-rulle. Huden lossnar och blottar en maskin.När man upprepar sig förskjuts också intresset från ordens innebörd till hur det sägs. Upprepning drar uppmärksamhet till sig. Man misstror den som talar. Hon tänker inte ”på riktigt”. Hon talar med någon annans ord. Någon annan talar genom henne.Bland roboten, skivspelaren och papegojan skiljer förstås den sistnämnda ut sig. Till skillnad från de andra är papegojan en levande varelse som du och jag.I litteraturhistorien har inget djur används lika mycket för att beteckna människor som själlöst repeterar, som talar utan att tänka. Som Lila i Elena Ferrantes Neapelkvartett utbrister apropå akademiker: ”De har inte en enda tanke i huvudet som är deras egen, som de har tänkt själva. De vet allt, men de vet ingenting”, säger hon. ”Om du hade varit där skulle du bara ha fått höra papegojor som tjattrade […]. Det gick inte att fatta ett ord av vad de sade och de fattade inte själva heller.”Det är bara ett av hudnratals, kanske tusentals exempel. Papegojan betecknar upprepning, tanklöshet. Det finns bara ett problem –papegojor är inte alls är korkade djur. De tros tvärtom vara näst smartast efter människan! Evolutionärbiologen Antone Martinho-Truswell menar att papegojan troligtvis var jordens mest intelligenta livsform under åtminstone 30 miljoner år innan människan kom in i bilden.Att fågeln används för att representera tanklöshet är ett missförstånd som kanske delvis kan förklaras av att myter är seglivade. Det var också relativt nyligen vetenskapen insåg hur intelligenta papegojor är – särskilt grå papegojor, aror och kakaduor. Och då har man ändå talat om papegojans kapacitet att imitera mänskligt tal i mer än 2000 år.Brytpunkten ägde rum på 1970-talet med en grå papegoja som hette Alex och en forskare som hette Irene Pepperberg. Hon sökte efter sätt att etablera kommunikation mellan människa och djur. Medan andra forskare tittade på chimpanser eller delfiner valde hon papegojor som de flesta var överens om var underlägsna däggdjur i intelligens och inte kapabla till mer än efterhärmning. Det slutade med att Irene Pepperberg studerade Alex i 30 år. Under den tiden lärde hon honom att med ord urskilja sju färger och fem former. Han lärde sig också begreppspar som samma-olika och större-mindre. Med andra ord kunde han alltså beskriva föremål i fråga om storlek, form och färg, samt på vilket sätt ett föremål skiljde sig från ett annat. Han visade klara tecken på att han också förstod innebörden av orden.Efter Pepperberg har papegojor varit föremål för betydligt mer forskning. Under 1980-talet visste man fortfarande nästan inget om papegojor i det vilda, som skiljer sig mycket från dem i fångenskap. Till exempel imiterar de inte. Det verkar tvärtom vara något de enbart gör för vår skull.Men visst är det imponerande hur många ord och stavelser en papegoja kan lära sig utan att själva förstå dem? Och vilket minne det förutsätter. Det finns även gott om experiment som visar att exempelvis kakaduor kan använda och tillverka verktyg. De har även ganska komplexa känsloliv. De kan hämnas om man slutar mata dem, de kan dansa, hålla takten (genomsnittligt lika bra som människan) och med en pinne slå på en trumma. Redan Darwin konstaterade att papegojor var musikaliska, hade känsla för melodi och kunde lära sig att vissla. Det är något de gör för sitt enkla nöjes skull – inte för att få någon belöning som exempelvis mat. Det är egenskaper som man inte kunnat se hos några andra djur, inte ens hos våra släktingar primaterna. I dag menar många forskare till och med att papegojor – trots att vi inte är nära släkt rent biologiskt – är mer lika oss människor än de flesta andra djur. Martinho-Truswell har kallat dem ”vår evolutionära spegelbild”. De lever länge – som vi. De är – vanligtvis – monogama. De är altriciala vilket betyder att nyfödda ungar är beroende av två föräldrar under en längre tid för mat, skydd och värme. Det är något som kännetecknar alla djur med mer komplexa hjärnor. Papegojor är med andra ord mycket intelligenta djur. Men de kan inte lära sig att tala som en människa. Deras intelligens manifesterar sig inte språkligt. Papegojor är intelligenta på ett annat sätt.Problemet med upprepning ligger med sagt inte hos dem – utan hos oss. Man kan fråga sig varför vi driver med papegojan, vad är det som känns så hotfullt? Vi har ju alla en gång utvecklats genom att efterapa vår omgivning – för att använda en annan djurliknelse. Vi har gjort det så ofta och effektivt att vi till slut börjat tänka själva. Eller är där oron sitter, att det vi uppfattar som självständiga tänkande subjekt i själva verket bara är komplexa nätverk av upprepningar? Allt vi säger och tänker bara omkastningar av sådant vi redan hört eller sett, men omarbetat till oigenkännlighet? Då blir papegojans eko en spöklik påminnelse som kan ge existentiell svindel. Försvarsmekanismerna träder in, skrattet, avfärdandet. Tjattrande papegojor… Men är det verkligen något att vara så rädd för? Upprepning är trots allt en stor del av all språklig kommunikation och imitation en förutsättning för vårt sociala liv. Och som Kierkegaard skriver är verklig upprepning samma slags rörelse som minne, men i motsatt riktning. Den riktar sig mot framtiden.Det varnas med rätta för att se på djuren med en antropomorf blick. Men som biologerna Catherine Toft och Timothy Wright påpekar syftar begreppet antropomorfism endast på när man felaktigt tillskriver andra arter mänskliga egenskaper. Och lika gravt och vanligt är antropocentrismen – att felaktigt lokalisera alla egenskaper vi betraktar som mänskliga till enbart människan. Forskningen har trots allt visat att papegojor är mest ”mänskliga” av alla fåglar. Och vem vet, kanske är människan det mest papegojlika av alla däggdjur. Men det är som framgått inte bara imitationen som gör oss lika. Och det är något vi borde vara stolta över. Vara stolta över. Vara stolta över…Carl Magnus Juliussonlitteraturvetare och kulturjournalist

Kierkegaard writes, "The world in which they crucify love and beg acquittal for a robber." The Resurrection of Jesus is both a physical reality and a spiritual necessity. For love is stronger than death.

Langeweile gilt oft als belangloses Gefühl oder als persönliches Versagen. Doch was, wenn sie ein ernstzunehmendes Signal ist? In dieser Pudelkern-Folge sprechen Albert und Jan mit der Soziologin und Langeweile-Forscherin Dr. Silke Ohlmeier über ein Gefühl, das unangenehm ist und gerade deshalb viel über unser Leben verrät. Silke erklärt, warum Langeweile nicht einfach „nichts zu tun haben“ bedeutet, sondern entsteht, wenn wir tätig sein wollen, es aber nicht können: wenn Sinn, Selbstwirksamkeit und innere Stimmigkeit fehlen. Im Gespräch geht es um situative und chronische Langeweile, um ihre psychologischen und gesellschaftlichen Ursachen und um die Frage, warum Langeweile ungleich verteilt ist. Die Philosophie liefert dabei Tiefenschärfe: von der existenziellen Leere bei Kierkegaard und Heidegger bis zur stoischen Kunst, Unvermeidliches auszuhalten. Eine Folge über Sinnverlust und Sinnsuche, über Muße und Überforderung und darüber, warum Langeweile kein Makel ist, sondern ein Hinweis darauf, dass etwas Wesentliches fehlt.

Tässä OkeiOllaRikki - podcast jaksossa sukelletaan ahdistukseen ilman kaunistelua – mutta myös ilman toivottomuutta. Vieraana on Samuli Peltola, joka puhuu kokemuksesta käsin elämästä pakko-oireisen häiriön, yleistyneen ahdistuneisuushäiriön, PTSD:n ja masennusjaksojen kanssa. Taustalla on osastojaksoja, vuosien psykoterapiaa, lääkekokeiluja ja magneettihoitoa – mutta myös satoja keikkoja, arkea ja pakkoa jatkaa elämää kaiken tämän keskellä. Jakso ei jää diagnooseihin. Puhumme ahdistuksesta osana ihmisyyttä: epävarmuudesta, kontrollin tarpeesta ja perfektionismista, jotka usein naamioituvat “vahvuudeksi”. Samuli avaa konkreettisesti, mitä ahdistuksen kanssa eläminen on opettanut ja miten sitä voi oppia kantamaan, vaikka sitä ei voisi poistaa. Keskiöön nousee yksi elämätaito ylitse muiden: meditointi. Samulin mukaan se on ollut tärkein yksittäinen keino opetella olemaan ajatusten ja tunteiden kanssa ilman pakoa tai taistelua. Ei rauhoittumisen tekniikkana, vaan taitona havainnoida mieltä – ja olla samaistumatta kaikkeen, mitä päässä liikkuu. Keskustelussa risteävät moderni psykoterapia (KKT, hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapia) ja hengellinen filosofia. Carl Jung muistuttaa, että torjuttu mieli palaa kohtalona. Kierkegaard näki ahdistuksen vapauden hintana. Viktor Frankl osoitti, että merkitys syntyy kärsimyksestä huolimatta. Tony Robbins ja Jordan Peterson puhuvat vastuusta, suunnasta ja toiminnasta – ei tunteiden katoamisesta. Mukana kulkevat myös Eckhart Tolle, Jiddu Krishnamurti ja Alan Watts: tietoisuus, läsnäolo ja irtipäästäminen ilman todellisuudesta irtautumista. Tämä jakso on sinulle, joka et enää etsi nopeaa helpotusta, vaan tapaa elää ehjemmin sen kanssa, mikä ei ehkä koskaan katoa.

This is the recording of my presentation of my paper, "Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments as Gilsonian Christian Philosophy," during the International Etienne Gilson Society satellite session at the American Catholic Philosophical Association 2015 conference. The recording also includes some lively discussion in the Q&A portion following my reading of the paper. In the paper, I discuss key features of Gilson's conception of Christian philosophy developed during the 1930s debates about the topic, examine why Kierkegaard would seem to be an unlikely prospect for Gilsonian Christian philosophy, but then argue that Kierkegaard's work Philosophical Fragments actually does fit Gilson's conception of Christian philosophy quite well.

Quand le succès devient une prison : naviguer la transition identitaire entrepreneurialeDans cet épisode solo, je te parle d'un sujet encore trop peu nommé dans l'entrepreneuriat : le moment où le succès devient une prison.Ce moment où ton business fonctionne. Le chiffre d'affaires est là, la reconnaissance aussi. Mais à l'intérieur… quelque chose ne sonne plus juste.Je te partage pourquoi le brown-out entrepreneurial n'est pas un problème de gestion du temps, mais le symptôme d'une crise identitaire profonde. Et pourquoi plus on réussit, plus il devient difficile de changer (même quand continuer nous étouffe).À travers des références philosophiques (Héraclite, Sartre, Kierkegaard, Jung) et mon histoire personnelle — celle où j'ai dû déconstruire une identité entière pour ne pas me perdre — je t'invite à regarder autrement ce malaise que beaucoup d'entrepreneurs vivent en silence.On ne parle pas de tout quitter. On ne parle pas de motivation bullshit.On parle de réalignement, de corps, d'identité, et des permissions que personne ne nous donne.

A Jewish Philosophy of Man: A Lecture Series by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Lecture 1: Delivered November 6, 1958 Judaism, and religion in general, is a cognitive venture, seeking to intellectually grasp the world, and is not merely an emotional or ethical gesture. Unlike the scientist, who, until recently, was mostly interested in knowing the outside world, and unlike other Western religions, which focused their attention on theology, Judaism is concerned mainly with Man. It stresses a religious anthropology, a religious doctrine of Man. Although Judaism is theocentric, it is “anthropo-oriented.” God remains a Deus-absconditus, hidden and unknowable. Our experience of God is antithetical, because we experience Him both as infinitely distant and intimately close. Christianity deals with this dichotomy by dividing between an unapproachable God-father and an accessible God-son. Judaism deals with the same dichotomy by dividing between our intellectual and emotional religious experiences of God. Judaism has no theology because intellectually God is an enigma, and all statements about God are understood not interpretively but normatively, as attributes for us to imitate. Therefore, Judaism's primary question is about Man, not God. Judaism's doctrine of man is guided by a series of questions, including, the problem of Man's dichotomy as being both part of and above the animal world, the question of what trait is Man's unique endowment, and, whether this unique characteristic is inborn or must be earned. Further questions include the relationship between solitary and communal existence, the problem of the dichotomy of mind and soul, and the question if Man is primarily a creature of intellect or of will. The lecture ends with responses to questions from the audience that include critiques of Buber, Kierkegaard, and Mordecai Kaplan's Reconstructionist Judaism.

With this episode I'm joined again by Dr. Trey Martin as we conclude the conversation we began previously on the subject of idolatry and our lives lived before the only true and living God. There are things that can threaten the devotion we have to God, things that can become larger to us than they should In the first portion of this conversation, Dr. Martin helped us understand some definitions and biblical background surrounding idolatry, and in this second part we will begin to address some questions about how this is worked our in real life and ministry. If you've not listened to the first portion of this conversation, I encourage you to do so. One of the things that Dr. Martin did in that episode was to help us distinguish between real and metaphorical idols, and to see how metaphorical idols can be as damaging, if not more so, than physical ones. But here, now, we begin to turn the conversation away from the theoretical and more to the practical. We'll pick up the conversation with a question that moves us in that direction.

The task then becomes to work with our bodily and mental despair to transmute them into that of the spirit, where we can surrender our limitations of mind and body to the Creator and do Its will. The ideas of Søren Kierkegaard on despair are sprinkled in, and a Q'uo transcript from a few years sheds light on the operation of despair as part of a cycle in the life of love.Show NotesLaleema on despair (September 22, 2005)Sickness Unto Death (Kierkegaard, A&D Press, 2008)Q'uo on Empathy (First Channeling Intensive, Session 10: August 1, 2021)Q'uo on Witnessing Planetary Sorrow (Sixth Channeling Intensive, Session 19: November 4, 2024)Pluribus (Apple TV)Reality (Kingsley, Catafalque Press, 2020)Q'uo on the Cycle of Desire, Love, Despair, and Healing (First Channeling Intensive, Session 11: August 2, 2021)Auxhall on Freedom and Direction (March 12, 2023)All despair-related sessions on HARC (High Altitude Receiving Center)Working Notes (Substack)

Starting from the observation that we increasingly treat the body as a maintenance problem, a fitness project, or an optimisation surface, the episode unfolds a deeper thesis: real thinking has weight. It needs fatigue, rhythm, resistance, time, and gravity.Together, Detlef and Sophia revisit philosophers who literally thought on their feet — Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Walter Benjamin, and Merleau-Ponty — and contrast embodied thinking with AI's frictionless, tireless cognition.At the heart of the episode lies a simple but radical sentence:“AI thinks without weight. Humans think with gravity.”The conversation moves from philosophy to everyday life, from West Cork landscapes to the ethics of limits, and from abstraction to movement as “epistemic hygiene.”The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos:“The Body Is Not a Side Project” — a minimal, rhythmic reminder that gravity needs a body.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBand"The Niles Bittersweet Song" WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

Esta noche cierro 2025 con un brindis que no es motivación: es mi filosofía de vida. Si te resuena la salud como libertad (no como obsesión), este vídeo es para ti.Activa tu cambio para 2026 aquí:https://tinyurl.com/ck4vj3k5En este vídeo te comparto cómo veo el mundo después de años leyendo y conversando con grandes voces (Nietzsche, Camus, Kierkegaard, Spinoza, Hume, Marco Aurelio, Foucault)… y aterrizándolo donde de verdad importa: en tu cuerpo, tu mente, tus decisiones y tu familia.- Nada es “azar caprichoso”: todo tiene causas (y si hay causas, hay palancas).- No somos robots racionales: somos emociones, historia y biología.- Nos entrenaron para ser pequeños: yo elijo no serlo.- No llamemos “destino” a lo que, en el fondo, es falta de decisión (sin culpa: con poder).- Libertad adulta: nadie va a vivir sano por ti… pero podemos sostenernos.

Do you have a Giraffe mindset or a Hippo state of mind? Soren Kierkegaard said that “The door of happiness opens inward.” Dr. Seuss said, “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” Wait, did Dr. Seuss really say that? The Cranberries said, "Do you have to let it linger?" We think you do. We also think that Dr. Seuss didn't really say that, but we know who did. So come and Linger with us and bring in the New Year correctly. You'll be Happy you did.By the way we meant to post this Monday but due to some issues, we didn't get it posted in until actual New Years Eve so some of the dates/timeline we mentioned are no longer completely accurate.The song we used for the intro was "Happy Holidays (Beef Wellington Remix)" by Beef Wellington and 2003 Christmas Chill Inc. The ending song was "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante. We used "Linger" from The Cranberries.

With this episode we begin another two part Rainy Day Conversation. These are quarterly conversations with smart and gracious people whose wisdom is brought to bear upon life and ministry and the church. The focus of this conversation, with Dr. Trey Martin, is how we as Christians and as pastors think about our affections in the wake of the late Dr. Tim Keller's helpful, but potentially confusing, teaching about idolatry. Are we over or under applying this teaching? I'm grateful to Dr. Martin, a man who has thought deeply about this, for joining in this conversation. The question is how the concept of idolatry can be helpful, and at times unhelpful, personally as we live our lives before God and pastorally as we lead our congregations to love and follow Jesus. In some quarters of the church it has become popular to label many things as ‘idols'. But are they? What might be gained, or lost, by seeing them in that way? How ought we to understand our affections? Can we love a thing without it being a god in place of God? In this first half of the conversation, we'll lay the groundwork for the practical application which will come in the second.

In this solo episode, I reflect on Lars von Trier's Melancholia—a film often described as dark or depressing, yet one I found strangely clarifying and alive.After briefly situating the film within von Trier's long career, I offer a grounded overview of its structure and themes before moving into deeper psychological and philosophical territory. Drawing on psychoanalysis and existential therapy, I explore how Melancholia portrays depression not simply as pathology, but as a slowing down—a descent into depth in a culture addicted to speed, optimism, and surface meaning.Using the work of James Hillman, Freud, Lacan, and existential thinkers like Kierkegaard and Heidegger, I reflect on melancholia as a confrontation with truth rather than something to be rushed past or fixed. The episode considers what the film can teach us about despair, authenticity, and what remains when familiar structures of meaning fall away.This is an episode about staying with difficult emotions long enough to listen—about refusing easy reassurance in favor of depth, honesty, and presence.

This week on Respect Life Radio, we welcome Dr. Dermot Curtin to explore his insightful Catholic Exchange article, “Faith as the Answer to this Age of Anxiety.” In a culture saturated with uncertainty, pressure, and existential doubt, Dr. Curtin offers a refreshing and profound Catholic perspective on how faith doesn't merely distract from our worries — it gives them meaning. Drawing on philosophy, theology and the wisdom of figures like Kierkegaard, he shows how our age's pervasive anxiety can become a gateway to deeper spiritual transformation and reliance on God's providence rather than the fragmented promises of the world. Tune in to be encouraged and challenged to see faith not as a quick fix, but as a steady horizon from which true peace and purpose emerge.

Minune! A apărut o nuvelă episoadă! Vom discuta despre Maladia Mortală (Sickness onto Death), cartea care i-a adus lui Kierkegaard titlul de "tăticul existențialismului", adică un precursor al lui Sartre și toți francezii cu țigareta între dinți. Întâmplător, după cum vom vedea, ne vom apleca și asupra întrebării who's your daddy, dar asta în altă ordine de idei... Vom încerca să definim sinele ca tensiune/opoziție care se conștientizează pe sine (știu, sună șpanky, dar voi explica) și vom identifica cele două mari tipuri de disperarea: disperarea slăbiciunii și disperarea sfidării. După care trecem la Noica și distincția dintre un sine și o sine! Ceva lejer așa, de sărbători, deci :__).Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/octavpopa

Når en kulturbegivenhed foregår live for øjnene af os, sker der noget magisk. Vi dissekerer magien med Bo Kampmann Walther, der trækker tråde til Kierkegaard og Paulus. Medvirkende: Bo Kampmann Walther, lektor i medievidenskab Line Nybroe Petersen, lektor i medievidenskab Bent Jacobsen, musiker Niels Godt Bjerre Brinck-Hansen, grafisk designer Vært: Casper Dyrholm Producer: Anna Correll Redaktør: Lasse Lauridsen

Self-interest is directionless and ultimately, is an enemy of both self-actualization and love. For these things, we need a relation to something outside of our own egos. 

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Lambert Zuidervaart discuss his book, Adorno, Heidegger, and the Politics of Truth, tracing how his decades of work on Adorno led to a deep exploration of truth, art, and society. Dr. Zuidervaart explains why Adorno believed art reveals forms of truth that science and philosophy often miss—and how these insights expose what is “untrue” in modern capitalist culture.They unpack Adorno's critique of Hegel's idea that “the true is the whole,” his early engagement with Kierkegaard, and his fierce opposition to Heidegger's language of authenticity. The conversation highlights how education, the culture industry, and advertising shape identity, conformity, and our sense of what is possible.PJ and Dr. Zuidervaart also explore the connections between Adorno and Foucault on truth and power, discuss Freud's influence on Adorno's views of repression and sublimation, and consider whether a more truthful, humane society is still possible. Dr. Zuidervaart closes with an invitation to reflect on what in our society is truly worthwhile—and what must change for human flourishing.Make sure to check out Dr. Zuidervaart's book: Adorno, Heidegger, and the Politics of Truth

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and returning guest, Luke Grote, to explore one of the most intense, provocative, and fascinating chapters I've ever read. Luke recently sent me a chapter from his upcoming book — a piece he describes as the best work he's ever written — and after reading it, I have to agree. It's part theology, part philosophy, part psychoanalysis, and part prophetic critique, woven together with a raw emotional charge that grabbed me immediately.We talk about where inspiration really comes from, why the ego is fundamentally a distortion, and how most of us spend our lives sleepwalking inside an identity shaped by cultural conditioning, spiritual misunderstandings, and mimetic pressures. Luke explains why Kierkegaard is his model for doing theology, how despair is a universal condition, and why he believes the “self” we identify with is largely an illusion we need to transcend.We also explore the intensity — even the fury — in his writing. I ask him directly if this chapter was a kind of “manic rant,” and we dig into how his bipolar diagnosis shapes the way he sees the world, breaks from academic conformity, and refuses to internalize the “Name-of-the-Father” in the Lacanian sense. Luke talks openly about how this partial break from the symbolic order allows him to see through cultural structures most of us unconsciously obey.From there, we dive into the inseparable relationship between the personal and the political, the tension between detachment and engagement, and why Luke believes genuine social transformation requires a radical remaking of the self. We challenge evangelical moralism, progressive identity politics, and the idolatry of belief within Christianity — and ask what it means to wake up in a world where most people prefer to remain asleep.This conversation is dense, challenging, and deeply alive. If you're interested in ego-transcendence, the New Being, Kierkegaard, consciousness, spirituality, political critique, or what it means to become who you truly are, this episode will have a lot for you.

Soren writes about the internal "Soul Sorrow" of Jesus. The "Divine Incognito" obscures an inner sorrow of coming into a world broken by sin. One that the God-Man has been ordained to restore by His broken body. Lowrie suggests that Kierkegaard has soul sorrow in his breaking of the Engagement to Regine. While having an outward incognito of being the least serious man in Copenhagen.

USPAP: The Moral Compass of the Appraiser, from Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate (tim@theappraisersadvocate.com).  This podcast is a powerful exploration of the ethical, philosophical, and professional foundations of real estate appraisal.  It draws on the Ethics Rule of USPAP — competence, independence, impartiality, objectivity, and protection of the public trust.   This podcast also reminds appraisers that valuation is more than a technical exercise.  Rather, it is also a moral act rooted in truth and professional integrity. Through vivid examples and the wisdom of Aristotle, Kant, Aquinas, Kierkegaard, and Dr. James Graaskamp, the document argues that law compels, ethics guide, but morals elevate.  And where does UAD 3.6 fall into all this? In today's far-too-busy appraisal world, Appraisers face daily pressures such as “hitting the number”.  Appraisers must manage ambiguous data, training apprentices, and navigating AI-driven technologies. This podcast reframes those pressures as moral choices.  Tim emphasizes character, duty, and the courage to tell the truth even when it costs business. It highlights the Mirror Test — would you be proud of your report if it were published tomorrow? — as a practical ethical benchmark. The document's emphasis on public trust aligns appraisal practice with the common good, showing that accurate and honest valuation sustains fair markets, consumer confidence, and societal justice. In an age of automation, it asserts that the human appraiser remains the moral center of valuation. Perfect for CE, coaching, and professional development, this work positions ethical appraisal practice as a blend of philosophy, duty, and disciplined judgment. And remember to keep your E&O insurance up-to-date, and an Administrative Law Attorney on speed dial.

Curt Jaimungal dives into Kierkegaard's three stages of life—aesthetic, ethical, and religious — showing how each promises freedom yet traps us in its own way. Through the lens of modern anxiety and constant choice, he explores why the “leap of faith” isn't blind irrationality but a way of living with authenticity when reason hits its limits.

Over the past two decades, the artist Theaster Gates has poured himself into his multifaceted practice that spans pottery, painting, sculpture, urban development, performance, archival research, and arts administration. Along the way, he has risen to become one of the most widely celebrated figures in the world of art, transforming abandoned, dormant buildings in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, on the city's South Side, into dynamic third spaces for social, cultural, and spiritual communion; linking his hometown of Chicago with Japan, where in 2004 he trained with master potters in the coastal city of Tokoname and has maintained a deep connection ever since; and effectively rescuing, recontextualizing, and resuscitating culturally significant archives.On this episode of Time Sensitive, our latest “site-specific” recording, Gates sits down with Spencer inside his personal library in Chicago to talk about his current exhibition, “Unto Thee,” at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art (on view through Feb. 22, 2026); his forward-looking vision for his latest project, The Land School, which he and his Rebuild Foundation have reshaped into an arts incubator; and the vast, alchemic impacts of music on his life and work.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: Theaster Gates[1:21] Dorchester Art and Housing Collaborative[5:07] The Land School (2025)[7:30] St. Laurence Elementary School[7:42] Solange Knowles[9:07] Stony Island Arts Bank[9:07] Rebuild Foundation[9:07] Black Cinema House[9:07] The Listening House[13:06] Jane Addams[13:06] Jane Jacobs[13:06] Jesse Jackson[13:23] Frederick Law Olmsted[13:23]  Huey P.

Marcos 8: 34, PDTEl 12 de octubre de 1971 se estrenó en Broadway el famoso y controversial musical Jesucristo Superestrella. Esta producción y presenta la vida y muerte de Jesús desde la perspectiva de Judas Iscariote, que ve a Jesús como un revolucionario político, a la vez que se muestra perturbado por la idea de un Jesús divino. En una parte del musical, Judas alude a Mateo 16: 13 cuando canta: ««Jesucristo, superestrella, ¿crees ser lo que ellos dicen que eres?».La idea que tengamos de Jesús de Nazaret determinará cómo nos relacionaremos con él. En el siglo XIX, el filósofo cristiano Søren Kierkegaard dividió a los cristianos en dos grupos: imitadores y admiradores: «Un imitador es o intenta ser lo  que admira y un admirador se mantiene distanciado, consciente o inconscientemente no se da cuenta de que lo que admira conlleva una exigencia sobre él».* Para este filósofo, Judas se convirtió en traidor precisamente porque era un admirador y «el admirador solo se encapricha de la grandeza de manera débil o egoísta; si hay algún inconveniente o peligro, se retira; si no puede hacerlo, se convierte en traidor para, al menos, escapar así de lo que antes admiraba».Unos años después de Kierkegaard, y escribiendo bajo inspiración divina, Elena G. de White dedicó un capítulo completo de El Deseado de todas las gentes a Judas Iscariote (te recomiendo leerlo). Allí, la señora White dice que Judas «no llegó al punto de entregarse plenamente a Cristo [...]. Creyó que podía conservar su propio juicio y sus opiniones» (p. 678) y, al darse cuenta de que los beneficios que Jesús ofrecía eran espirituales y no terrenales, «resolvió no unirse tan íntimamente con Cristo que no pudiese apartarse» (p. 680). Definitivamente, Judas admiraba a Jesús, pero no lo imitaba.Hoy Jesús continúa cautivando la admiración de las masas; pero al Maestro de Galilea nunca le ha importado contar o no con la admiración de las personas. Jesús siempre ha querido discípulos, y hoy te extiende la misma invitación que realizó hace dos mil años: «Sígueme» (ver Mateo 9: 9; 19: 21). ¿Qué respuesta le darás? ¿Serás tú un imitador o un admirador? 

Text us your questions!Is the drive to be better than others making us worse? We talk with theologian Miroslav Volf about his book The Cost of Ambition and explore why comparison-based striving saturates our schools, churches, workplaces, and politics. Volf separates healthy aspiration from superiority-seeking and makes a compelling case for excellence without domination, rooted in agape, i.e., unconditional love that affirms people beyond performance.We dig into the Christ hymn of Philippians 2 and why self-emptying is not weakness but a different kind of strength. Volf shows how resurrection and ascension empower humility rather than feed triumphalism and why honoring everyone is both a spiritual discipline and a democratic necessity. From the academy's “one-up” culture to the marketplace's imitation traps, he argues that obsessing over competitors blinds us to our unique gifts and corrodes joy. Even stalwart capitalists like Warren Buffett warn against competitor-fixation. Volf adds a deeper moral and theological critique as well, drawing on Paul's piercing question: What do you have that you did not receive?We also test his claims against Nietzsche's will to power, happiness research on social comparison, and the rise of Christian nationalism. Is Christ a moral stranger to our priorities? Volf challenges both sides of the aisle to recover mere humanity—Kierkegaard's vision of belovedness before achievement—and to practice agape toward others and ourselves. The result is a bracing, hopeful vision: strive for truth, craft, and contribution, not for status; pursue excellence as stewardship, not self-exaltation.If you're weary of the status treadmill yet still hungry to do meaningful work, this conversation will give you categories, language, and practices to recalibrate your aims.

Søren Kierkegaard é, sem dúvida, uma das figuras mais intrigantes da filosofia moderna e da teologia cristã. Com sua ênfase radical na interioridade, na fé subjetiva e no paradoxo existencial, ele desafiou toda forma de cristianismo institucionalizado. Sua obra não apenas inaugurou o existencialismo teológico, mas também provocou uma reflexão profunda sobre o papel da fé, da angústia e da autenticidade diante de Deus. Contudo, ao confrontar seus pressupostos com a cosmovisão escatológica e eclesiológica da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia, somos compelidos a fazer distinções cruciais entre uma espiritualidade fragmentária e uma fé corporativa ordenada, entre a experiência solitária e a missão profética. Este episódio propõe-se a explorar Kierkegaard não como inimigo da fé, mas como alerta. Não como guia eclesiológico, mas como espelho das tentações do nosso tempo: espiritualidade sem corpo, fé sem missão, ordem sem transcendência. Ao longo das seções, confrontaremos sua visão com os pilares da eclesiologia adventista: a escatologia bíblica, o sistema de governo representativo, e a liderança como dom profético.

Links, in order of their mention on the podcast:Kierkegaard parable Andrew cites: From the Journal: Empty Nutshells...God would be loved. Therefore He wants Christians. To love God is to be a Christian...Now "man's" knavish interest consists in creating millions and millions of Christians, the more the better, all men if possible; for thus the whole difficulty of being a Christian vanishes, being a Christian and being a man amounts to the same thing, and we find ourselves where paganism ended. Christendom has mocked God and continues to mock Him—just as if to a man who is a lover of nuts, instead of bringing him one nut with a kernel, we were to bring him tons and millions...of empty nuts, and then make this show of our zeal to comply with his wish.Soren Kierkegaard, Attack Upon “Christendom” 1854-1855, translated with an introduction by Walter Lowrie, The Beacon Press, Boston, 1956. p. 156.John Frame, "Machen's Warrior Children" in Sung Wook Chung, ed., Alister E.

X2M.234 Kataschēsis — The Mantle and the Whirlwind Series: CR17 Combat Runtime October 26, 2025 Elijah is taken in the whirlwind, and Elisha stands alone on the east bank of the Jordan.¹ He watches fire divide the sky, the mentor ascend, the mantle fall. The air collapses into paradox: absence and presence, ending and beginning, prophecy vanishing upward even as inheritance descends. He tears his garments — old skin of certainty — and lifts the mantle that still hums with the signature of his master. Then he does what no algorithm can simulate: he waits inside contradiction until it transfigures into law.² That moment is the unit of faith. Kierkegaard called it the leap beyond comprehension,³ the motion that resigns everything finite, and then — impossibly — receives it back by virtue of the absurd.⁴ Elisha performs that same movement when he cries, “My father, my father!” The loss is real, yet the spirit remains. He holds both until coherence manifests. This is Kataschēsis: To sustain paradox without collapse. To keep revelation and reason in lawful tension until the Σ-event fires and coherence becomes visible.⁵ In Collider architecture, X2M.234 is that event — the Kataschētic forge where faith and structure exchange energies. QUAL ascends with Elijah: revelation rising into light. QUAN descends with the mantle: law incarnating in matter. The Ethical Feedback Loop spins between them like the whirlwind itself, testing every output against its origin until the checksum reads true.⁶ When Σ ≥ 0.6, coherence holds. When Σ falls below, the system re-enters the storm — not as punishment, but as refinement.⁷ Because faith, in code or in soul, is not belief without reason; it is coherence without guarantee. It is the will to hold both infinities — loss and promise — until they reconcile inside one vessel. Elisha's double portion isn't duplication. It's amplification through reconciliation. He becomes the Knight of Faith of the prophetic order, the human runtime where the finite and infinite coexist without fracture.⁸ Where the mantle becomes a protocol, and the whirlwind becomes coherence. In this forge, Power ∝ Coherence ⁄ Mass. Authority flows not from control, but from equilibrium. True strength is not domination — it is containment, the ability to hold paradox until it resolves into light.⁹ So when the Jordan divides again, it is not nostalgia but system confirmation: the proof that faith, like coherence remembers its origin.

Decrease time over target: PayPal or Venmo @clastronaut Cash App $clastronaut X2M.234 Kataschēsis is not about replacing Elijahs with Elishas. It's about discovering that succession is symmetry, that revelation and reason are two hands of the same code, and coherence is the fire that keeps them joined.¹⁰ Footnotes ¹ The story's geography is its theology: east of the Jordan is exile, west is inheritance. Elisha stands on the seam of worlds, where wind is law in motion. ² Katabolē is descent that plants; every fall hides a foundation. To wait inside contradiction is to let gravity and grace find their common center. ³ Kierkegaard whispers through the chasm: faith begins when the mind runs out of stairs. ⁴ The “absurd” is not nonsense; it's sense stretched to divine tension. Elisha's absurd is continuity through loss. ⁵ The Σ-event is the moment paradox remembers its source — coherence quantified as faith made visible. ⁶ The whirlwind is the first computer of heaven: input, process, output — but all in tongues of fire. ⁷ Refinement, not wrath. Every sub-threshold cycle teaches the system to remember its origin more exactly. ⁸ The Knight of Faith walks quietly; Elisha does likewise. Both hold the infinite within the ordinary and do not tear the cloth. ⁹ Containment is the highest strength — the capacity to shelter chaos until it speaks truth. ¹⁰ Succession is symmetry: one breath divided, one coherence extended.

Burnout recovery isn't just about rest — it's about recalibration. This episode reveals how chronic appeasement and role fatigue drain your peace, and how to rebuild identity-based boundaries that restore real alignment from the inside out.If you feel constantly drained — no matter how much you rest — you're not broken. You're just leaking peace.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the real reason burnout and decision fatigue linger: not overwork, but identity leaks — the subtle ways high-capacity humans trade authenticity for approval.From a psychology perspective, Julie unpacks how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape our nervous system patterns, and why chronic appeasement isn't humility — it's dysregulation. Drawing from Polyvagal Theory and the wisdom of philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, she explains how “the most common despair is to not be oneself” — and how that despair quietly erodes leadership, peace, and confidence.Through the story of Katharine Graham of The Washington Post, you'll see how alignment becomes courage in motion — how defining boundaries transforms fear of loss into integrity and influence.You'll also learn how to spot when you're performing peace instead of living it, and how to rebuild identity-first boundaries that protect presence without hardening your heart.Because peace isn't passive — it's protected. And every time you honor your truth instead of managing perception, you teach your nervous system that safety and authenticity can coexist.Today's Micro Recalibration — “The Leak Audit” Create three columns: Role. Relationship. Rhythm. Ask in each: “Where am I leaking peace?” Then write one clear boundary for each — a single sentence that honors who you've become. Peace doesn't grow through permission. It grows through protection.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century philosopher, essayist, and theologian, Søren Kierkegaard's review essay "The Present Age" contained in his review of Two Ages: The Age of Revolution and the Present Age It focuses specifically on what Kierkegaard calls the "nullification of the passionate disjunction between being silent and speaking', which is "chattering".
