Please join Ann and Fedder, two members of the vibrant GTD community in Denmark, as they discuss a yearly GTD event that they call a refuge or retreat. It's an opportunity for a small group to have more inner-directed time for gaining perspective. Fedder and Ann relate how the idea developed, compare and contrast it with the annual Summer Camp, and explain the potential benefits. They even point out that the refuge is part of a well-rounded GTD practice that aligns with Danish philosopher Kierkegaard's adage that, "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." Below the video player image please find the description from Fedder and Ann about the refuge. The description is an excellent complement to their spoken words.

The parable gives us a final harvest. The Gospel gives us the time before the harvest. Becoming remains possible precisely because we haven't reached the harvest.

We live in an age with a curiously cheerful relationship to failure.  But that optimism was built for a world that no longer quite exists. For three generations now, doing everything right-- getting an education,  holding down a full-time job, following the sensible plan--  has stopped reliably buying a house or a secure retirement. When a single failure can be genuinely ruinous, the advice to dust yourself off and "fail fast, fail forward, fail better"  starts to sound like a privilege reserved for those who can already afford it.So what actually is failure? Who who sets the standard?  Is failure really as generative as we like to tell ourselves,  or is that a comforting story that only holds up when the stakes are low? Can a person fail at life, or only in it? And if our failures have become so devastating that no one dares risk them, is the fix a better attitude toward failing, or a world that stops punishing people so severely for it?This week, we take seriously the possibility that our growing dread of failure is  a rational response to a world that has made failing unaffordable. The real answer, we suggest, may be less about how to fail better and more about how to build a world where other people's failures aren't so ruinous.Grab a drink and join us as we fail our way through Beckett, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Camus toward some clearer sense of what it means to fall short — and toward imagining Sisyphus, if not happy, then at least clear-eyed.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/failure---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

Sanjana airs a pet peeve—the "didn't feel realistic" critique—and she and Tyler make the case that exaggeration is one of romance's best tools. Then Adrie Rose, a former sex worker and editor of the book of essays I Hate My Job, joins to talk about how the genre handles sex workers (not well) despite being kind of obsessed with writing them. And: Sanj completes her Tyler-assigned homework and comes back thrilled by The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, and especially by the line "the Kierkegaard of cock." Adrie Rose edited and contributed to I Hate My Job and cohosts the Pages and Prejudice podcast. Her recs: the TV show Harlots, Kathryn Moon's Monster Smash Agency series, and Charlie Amen's Hawk & March. Sanjana's homework: The Pairing by Casey McQuiston. From Sanj: For more on “realism” vs. “truth” vs. “performance” vs. “artifice,” here’s an interesting bit of writing from Vicky of the Chicky Substack from a more film-crit angle.

Nathan and Cameron explore the idea of metaphysical boredom and what it reveals about modern culture, postmodernism, deconstructionism, meaning, purpose, and the search for transcendence. Drawing on David Bentley Hart, Søren Kierkegaard, Scripture, philosophy, theology, and the realities of life in an affluent, digitally saturated society, Nathan and Cameron discuss why unprecedented comfort, leisure, entertainment, and online content can leave people feeling surprisingly empty, distracted, and spiritually restless. They examine the relationship between metaphysical boredom and metaphysical certainty, the dangers of reducing every cultural controversy to political talking points, and why the modern internet's endless content machine can make everything seem significant while ultimately making nothing meaningful. The conversation also explores the pursuit of the true, the good, and the beautiful, the role of Christian faith and transcendent narratives in giving human life meaning, and why serving others, loving one's neighbor, worshiping God, and viewing everyday work as an act of service can provide a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. Ultimately, Nathan and Cameron challenge listeners to look beyond cultural distractions, resist the pull of self-centered living, and cultivate a life oriented toward God, meaningful relationships, spiritual formation, and genuine human flourishing.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate  BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speaker JOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect  TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Somos tan débiles ante el refugio de la nostalgia, la fantasía de lo que fue (o inventamos), de lo que vivimos o hubiéramos querido vivir. Hoy, exacerbada por el capitalismo tardío, hablemos de ella.Autores mencionados: Kant, Derrida, Kierkegaard.

In Vino Veritas, a compelling section of Kierkegaard's Stages on Life's Way, invites listeners into a rich dialogue on love, echoing the philosophical depth of Plato's Symposium. Through a series of speeches delivered by characters from Kierkegaard's previous works, the text masterfully weaves together subtle observations and refined humor, creating an engaging exploration of romantic ideals. The interplay between the speakers, including Victor Eremita and Johannes the Seducer, adds layers to the discourse, making it both timeless and relevant. The enduring themes of love and the complexities of human relationships resonate powerfully today, reminding us of the intricate dance between emotion and intellect that defines our lives.

Nihilism is not the same as apathy Why nihilism can become a justification for inaction The pain and personal cost of continuing to care How information overload creates paralysis Why the systems feeding us outrage benefit from our inaction Turning down global noise without abandoning social responsibility Why meaningful action is usually local Art-making as an antidote to reactivity and overwhelm Becoming generative rather than merely responsive The controversy around casting choices in The Odyssey Why audiences increasingly approach art as propaganda The artist's job is not to reinforce conclusions we already hold How propaganda sacrifices craft to deliver its message Why much so-called religious art is actually political propaganda Beauty as an invitation into discomfort, growth, and transformation Why “wokeness” and “anti-wokeness” are both too small for what art can do Links For Justin:Read Justin's SubstackOrder In The Low - NEW Book with Scott EricksonCoaching with JustinOrder In Rest - New Book of PoemsOrder Sacred StridesJustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastNEW Single - Let GoNEW Music - Sliver of HopeNEW Music - The Dood and The BirdThe Book - It Is What You Make itHearts and Minds Amazon Barnes and Noble

In this episode:Why we imitate the visible “tree” without seeing the seeds, sacrifices, and choices that produced itHow individual values spread through imitation until they become culture, institutions, and systemsWhy Jesus says not to pull the weeds—and what this reveals about the limits of human judgmentHow certainty, the crowd, and our unexamined lenses can make us believe we see the whole fieldWhy humility means recognizing that seeing something clearly does not mean seeing everythingThe Parable of the Weeds raises an unsettling question: If we can see evil growing, why not simply pull it out? This episode follows the seed from the individual outward, exploring how what we become becomes visible, gets imitated, and eventually shapes cultures and systems. Through Jesus, Jung, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, psychology, and the biblical image of the knowledge of good and evil, we examine why human beings are so confident in judging the entire field when we are standing inside it ourselves. We may recognize wheat and weeds, truth and deception, good and evil—but wisdom requires understanding the limits of what we can see, examining the lens through which we see it, and asking what we are imitating, cultivating, and passing on to others.Elevate How You Navigate with Len & a free call https://elevatehowyounavigate.comMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismDaylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism ‪Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 From Seed to System; What Happens When Becoming Spreads?01:54 We Imitate Trees, Not Seeds; What Success Hides03:52 From Person to Culture; How Values Become Systems04:43 Nietzsche & Kierkegaard; Where Did Your Values Come From?06:33 The Parable of the Weeds; Why Does God Allow Evil to Grow?07:16 Why Not Pull the Weeds?; The Limits of Human Judgment10:00 Everyone Thinks They Are the Wheat; The Danger of Certainty13:03 Humility; Seeing Something Doesn't Mean Seeing Everything14:14 The Knowledge of Good & Evil; Who Gets to Administer the Field?16:43 The Crowd; Confidence Is Not the Same as Truth18:06 Imitation, Institutions & How Seeds Survive Generations19:11 Final Reflections; What Are You Imitating & Becoming?21:48 MAYU Water, Daylight, Chroma & Len ArcuriX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheSpectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Why did one of the most famous and ambitious philosophers in European history fall completely out of favor in just a few decades, and why is his totalizing view of reality still relevant today? Northwestern University's associate professor of philosophy and president of the Hegel Society of America, Dr. Mark Alznauer, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the breathtaking scope and historical impact of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Dr. Alznauer explores Hegel's attempt to map the entire cosmos, human civilization, and religion from a single logical concept in his book, Hegel's Sole Idea: The Last Great Metaphysical System. They examine how Hegel's "encyclopedia system" served as the last grand metaphysical project in Western thought, why his immediate successors violently rejected it, and how his legacy continues to shape our modern historical awareness. In this conversation they explore: Why Hegel's system is comparable to monumental literary works like Dante's Divine Comedy or Tolstoy's War and Peace in its attempt to provide a comprehensive, organized worldview. The provocative way Hegel positioned his philosophy as the "Holy Spirit," claiming it could conceptually prove the theological truths that Christianity only provided in pictures or representations. The swift collapse of Hegel's reputation after his death in 1831, leading to the deep divide between the Right and Left Hegelians, including the materialist critiques of Ludwig Feuerbach and Karl Marx. Søren Kierkegaard's fierce rejection of Hegel's objective system, arguing that true Christianity requires a passionate, existential decision rather than cold, speculative contemplation. How Hegel's philosophy of history—arguing that human epochs unfold with internal, logical necessity toward freedom—differs radically from the contingent, sociological explanations we rely on today. The neo-Hegelian influence on Francis Fukuyama's "End of History," and how questioning the ultimate direction of political history remains deeply relevant as our democratic landscapes continue to evolve. This is a conversation for anyone interested in philosophy, history, and theology who wants to understand the dizzying ambition of the last great metaphysical system and the profound ways its failure shaped the modern intellectual landscape. Make sure to check out Dr. Alznauer's book: Hegel's Soul Idea: The Last Great Metaphysical System

Warum reicht es oft nicht aus zu wissen, dass wir sicher sind – und warum fühlt sich unser Körper trotzdem angespannt, ängstlich oder ständig in Alarmbereitschaft? In dieser zweiten Folge der Podcastreihe „Erfahrung statt Wissen" geht es darum, warum nachhaltige Veränderung nicht allein im Kopf entsteht. Unser Nervensystem lernt nicht durch Erklärungen oder gute Ratschläge, sondern durch wiederholte Erfahrungen. Wir sprechen darüber, weshalb sich alte Stressmuster so hartnäckig halten, warum Affirmationen manchmal nicht ausreichen und wie dein Körper Schritt für Schritt neue Erfahrungen von Ruhe, Vertrauen und Sicherheit sammeln kann. Außerdem knüpfen wir an die Gedanken des Philosophen Søren Kierkegaard an, der beschreibt, dass es im Leben einen Punkt gibt, an dem Wissen nicht mehr genügt. Dann braucht es den mutigen Sprung ins Vertrauen – und die Bereitschaft, neue Erfahrungen zu machen. In dieser Folge erfährst du: Warum dein Nervensystem in Erfahrungen statt in Gedanken lernt Weshalb belastende Muster nicht nur im Kopf, sondern auch im Körper gespeichert werden Warum sich echte Sicherheit nur durch neue Erfahrungen entwickeln kann Weshalb kleine Schritte oft nachhaltiger wirken als große Veränderungen Wie Vertrauen wächst – nicht durch Kontrolle, sondern durch Erleben Diese Folge möchte dich ermutigen, einen wichtigen Gedanken mitzunehmen: Vielleicht brauchst du gar nicht noch mehr Wissen. Vielleicht braucht dein Körper endlich die Erfahrung, dass Sicherheit möglich ist.

On episode 263, we welcome J. Aaron Simmons and Benjamin McGraw to discuss the philosophy of heavy metal, the satanic panic and the Judas Priest trial, metal as an expression of liberty and individuality, the intellectual diversity in metal, challenging racist and misogynistic ideologies in the sphere, music as an expression of rebellion and critical thinking, the battle between reactionary and progressive beliefs and how it manifests in the war against the devil, the paradox of Christian metal, and transcending the need to transgress as an authentic expression of metal fandom. J. Aaron Simmons is a Professor of Philosophy who has published over a dozen books, the most recent is Camping with Kierkegaard. Simmons is the former President of the Søren Kierkegaard Society (USA) and writes regularly for his Substack, Philosophy in the Wild. Benjamin W.

In Wat blijft audiodoc van Human maakt filosoof en programmamaker Stine Jensen een aflevering over de Deense filosoof Søren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard, behalve filosoof ook theoloog en cultuurcriticus, geldt als de wegbereider van het existentialisme. Belangrijk thema in zijn filosofie is het christelijk geloof, alhoewel hij constant ruzie had met de staatskerk, centraal in zijn denken is het begrip individuele vrijheid. Zijn persoonlijk leven zit vol onverklaarbare of op z'n minst eigenaardige gebeurtenissen en beslissingen. Zijn werk wordt nog steeds veel gelezen en is een leidraad voor veel mensen. Stine Jensen praat in deze aflevering met:  *schrijver en Kierkegaard-kenner Geert Jan Blanken *regisseur en filosoof Roos van Ees die als twintiger haar scriptie over hem schreef in dagboekvorm *theatermaker Bo Tarenskeen, die Kierkegaards' inzichten, zoals de bekende stelling dat angst de duizeligheid van de vrijheid is, in zijn voorstellingen verwerkte.   Wat blijft audiodoc is een podcast van HUMAN en NPO Luister, deze aflevering staat vanaf zondag 2 augustus om 21 uur online op NPO Luister en is te horen in het tweede uur van Wat blijft radio op NPO Radio 1.

You can learn:Why every thought, habit, & decision is shaping the person you are becomingHow parents, culture, institutions, algorithms, & the crowd plant seedsWhy Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, & Jesus all ask where our values come from—not just what they areHow the Parable of the Weeds reveals that both good & evil begin as small, almost invisible seedsWhy temptation always reveals the immediate reward while concealing the person it is slowly shaping you intoIf the Parable of the Sower asks, "What kind of heart receives truth?" the Parable of the Weeds asks a deeper question: What are you becoming? In this episode of Autism & the Structure of Reality, we explore how every thought, habit, value, and repeated choice shapes the person we become from Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, psychology, neuroscience, and the teachings of Jesus. We examine how families, culture, institutions, and the crowd plant seeds that quietly shape our lives. The Parable of the Weeds reveals both good and evil begin as small seeds while temptation offers immediate rewards but conceals the destination. The question is not simply Who am I? but What am I growing into, and who planted the seeds shaping my life?Elevate How You Navigate with Len & a free call https://elevatehowyounavigate.comMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismDaylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism ‪Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 MAYU Water, Daylight Computer & Daylight Kids, Chroma Light Devices, & Len Arcuri Autism Coaching05:14 The Parable of the Weeds; What Are You Growing Into?07:08 We Are Always Becoming; Every Thought Is a Vote for Your Future Self09:14 Who Planted the Seeds?; Parents, Culture & Algorithms11:11 Nietzsche & Kierkegaard; Did You Choose Your Values?13:06 The Crowd, The System & Becoming Someone Else15:25 Seeds Become Civilizations; How Good and Evil Spread16:22 The Sower vs. The Weeds; Two Seeds, Two Kingdoms18:34 Good and Evil Both Grow; The Battle for the Human Heart20:20 What Does the Kingdom of Darkness Offer?22:04 Temptation, Immediate Reward & Hidden Destinations24:04 Crime and Punishment; Raskolnikov and Pulling Up the Wheat26:26 Every Choice Forms the Self; We Become What We Practice28:00 Final Thoughts; Growing into the Person You Are BecomingX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheSpectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

In this episode, Swami Revatikaanta explores the struggle between immediate gratification (Preyas) and truly doing what is good and beneficial in our lives (Śreyas). From birth, society conditions us to seek pleasure at every moment. However, this relentless pursuit of convenience, prestige, and pleasure often comes at a severe cost to our personal growth, inner peace, and true Divine connection.Drawing from the Katha Upanishad, Søren Kierkegaard and St. Augustine, Swami unpacks how we can change our ways, moving from pleasure-seeking to dharmic living and eventually pure love.Connect with the Community:

In this episode, you can learn:Why two people can hear the same truth—yet only one is transformedHow the condition of your heart determines what you're capable of receivingWhy the greatest battle in life isn't over information, but over your attention, values, and identityHow Jung, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Jesus all point to the same mystery: Why do some people change while others remain the same?Why becoming teachable may be one of the most important qualities a person can developThis episode explores the Parable of the Sower as far more than a lesson about agriculture or even Scripture—it becomes a profound model of human transformation. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the teachings of Jesus, we examine why truth changes some people while leaving others untouched, why information alone is never enough, and how attention, humility, and teachability shape the person we become. Ultimately, the greatest battle is not over what we know, but over what kind of heart is capable of receiving truth and allowing it to take root.Remember the Third Temptation, too, with power (evil's way to expand the kingdom of darkness) versus guidance (Kingdom of God's approach)00:00 The Sower; The Battle for the Human Heart02:56 The Great Battle; The Allegiance of the Human Heart06:09 Knowing vs. Becoming; Why Transformation Is So Rare08:48 Why Do Some People Change While Others Don't?12:17 Power vs. Seed; Two Kingdoms, Two Ways of Changing the World15:52 Knowledge vs. Wisdom; The True Purpose of Thought19:16 The Parable of the Sower; The Four Conditions of the Human Heart22:02 Why Truth Takes Root in Some People but Not Others26:48 Curiosity, Certainty & Losing the Ability to Learn31:18 Attention, Repetition & Becoming the Person You Practice36:19 The Human Heart Shapes Civilization; Competing Kingdoms42:46 Are You Still Teachable?; The Invitation to Keep BecomingElevate How You Navigate with Len & a free call https://elevatehowyounavigate.comMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismDaylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism ‪Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheSpectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Episode: 2618 Søren Kierkegaard: Christian Existentialist.  Today, an exit.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the problem of single causation and why history, politics, and human life are rarely explained by one simple cause. Drawing on examples such as the Afghanistan withdrawal, War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, Kierkegaard, Alexander Pope, and Christian theology, they examine how historical events emerge from countless interconnected decisions rather than isolated moments. Nathan and Cameron discuss why "history is where certainty goes to die," how humility differs from skepticism, and why embracing life's complexity doesn't lead to despair but to deeper meaning, hope, and faith. This thought-provoking conversation explores history, philosophy, Christianity, providence, free will, causation, historical interpretation, worldview, meaning, faith, and the relationship between human responsibility and God's sovereignty, offering practical wisdom for anyone seeking to understand current events, history, and the Christian life with greater depth and clarity.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Is it wrong to expect divine recompense for obedience? Over the centuries many have been perplexed by the binding/sacrifice of Isaac. No matter how this event is understood, it is clear that there is reward for Abraham's obedience. We tend to think that rewards are given in return for great acts of faith, but Jesus teaches something essential about God's economy: even the smallest act of hospitality brings blessing. The reward can be in this life, in the life of our descendants, or in the World to Come. The key is that while we can expect recompense from God, it comes in His time and His way.

Is denial always a bad thing?In this reflection on Psalm 39, John Ortberg explores one of the Bible's strangest prayers:"Look away from me."Why would anyone pray that?Drawing on insights from Dallas Willard, Søren Kierkegaard, and Greg Ten Elshof, John explains the surprising difference between healthy denial and unhealthy denial, and why God often reveals truth gradually rather than all at once.This episode explores:- Psalm 39 and radical honesty- Why Job, Peter, and Jonah wanted distance from God- Healthy vs. unhealthy denial- Self-deception and procrastination- Why Jesus said, "You cannot bear it now"- The grace of gradual transformationScriptures:- Psalm 39- Job 7- Luke 5- Jonah 1- John 16#psalm39  #JohnOrtberg #DallasWillard #SelfDeception #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Truth #Healing

The Danish philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55) argued that the universe is fundamentally paradoxical, and that its greatest paradox is the transcendent union of God and humans in the person of Jesus Christ. Christian existentialism relies on Kierkegaard's understanding of Christianity addressed in themes such as authenticity, anxiety, love, and the irrationality and subjectivity of faith, rejecting efforts to contain God in an objective, logical system. To Kierkegaard, the focus of theology was on the individual grappling with subjective truth rather than a set of objective claims.

Highlights• Why transformation often requires losing something rather than gaining something• How burdens, fears, and old stories can become part of our identity• What Jung, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky reveal about psychological growth• Why people often remain attached to familiar suffering even when it hurts them• The uncomfortable question at the center of transformation: Who would you be without the burden?Why do people remain stuck in patterns that no longer serve them? Why do old fears, old wounds, and old identities continue to shape the way we see ourselves and the world? In this episode of Autism & the Structure of Reality, we explore why transformation is often less about gaining something new and more about surrendering something old.Drawing from Jung, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and the broader themes of the series, we examine how burdens become identities, how suffering can become part of the self, and why the familiar often feels safer than growth.

Kierkegaard finishes "Training In Christianity" with the reminder of Peter's words of "Where else can we go?" God's plan and provision is Christ or nothing. That's it. I am very happy to finish this book. Soren hammered home the message and it took him over two hundred pages to do so. I am likely going to take a few weeks off before taking on another book. There is a chance that I will end the podcast for good. When I say that I am not wedded to Bierkergaard: The Writings of Soren Kierkegaard, I truly mean it. The second it no longer brings me joy, it is over. But, I am cool with continuing with it too at the present time. Just need a break.

You can learn:• Why Kierkegaard believed despair is not simply suffering, but the failure to become yourself• How the gap between your current self and potential self creates anxiety, resistance, and growth• Why distraction, conformity, and the "crowd" can quietly pull you away from an authentic life• How Jung, Dostoevsky, and Kierkegaard converge on the same question: Who are you becoming?• Why transformation requires confronting reality rather than escaping from itWhy do people remain stuck in patterns they know are hurting them? Why do we avoid the very changes we claim to want? In this episode of Autism & the Structure of Reality, we explore Kierkegaard's concept of despair—not as sadness or depression, but as the tension between who we are and who we could become. Drawing connections to Jung, Dostoevsky, modern psychology, social media, education, and contemporary life, the discussion examines how distraction, conformity, and comfort can prevent genuine growth. At its core, this episode is about the courage required to face reality, accept responsibility for your life, and take the difficult steps toward becoming the person you are capable of being.Support the Podcast with these chosen products:Elevate How You Navigate with Len & a free call https://elevatehowyounavigate.comMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismDaylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism ‪Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism0:00 Len Arcuri, MAYU water, Daylight Computer, Chroma Light Devices05:14 Kierkegaard & the Hard Question; Why Is Change So Difficult?07:00 The Current Self vs. The Potential Self; The Gap Between Them09:15 Dostoevsky, Regret & Betraying Yourself for Nothing10:45 Information vs. Transformation; Knowing Isn't Becoming13:35 Why We Resist Change; Despair & the Divided Self17:10 The Crowd Is Untruth; Conformity, Responsibility & Modern Life19:00 The Algorithmic Crowd; Social Media, Attention & Inherited Values20:15 Systems, Schools & Becoming a Self21:50 Taking a New Step; Why Possibility Creates Anxiety23:10 Commitment, Freedom & Building a Life25:05 Distraction, Stimulation & Avoiding the Self26:35 Every Avoidance Trains Avoidance; Repetition & Character27:45 The Greatest Danger; Living Unconsciously28:35 The Bronze Serpent; Facing What Is Biting You30:05 Encounter vs. Escape; Becoming a New YouX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheSpectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Khi ngồi xem series Dark Matter trên Apple TV, Trí chợt nghĩ về chiếc hộp của Schrödinger và bi kịch của tự do. Trí nhớ về "lời nguyền" của Kierkegaard: chọn cái gì thì rồi ta cũng sẽ hối tiếc. Nhưng Trí vẫn nghĩ khác một chút, rằng sẽ có một khe hở để mình lách qua cánh cửa hối tiếc này.Vậy nên tập này Trí nói về nó theo những quan sát của mình, đi cái vòng hơi xa: từ lượng tử đến Kierkegaard, từ hiện sinh đến những quyết định thường ngày.Mong rằng bạn sẽ thấy nó thú vị hen ;)---Đặt mua sách Vân Tay Trên Mặt Nước: https://vantaytrenmatnuoc.com---(00:00) Trở lại không gian tự sự(04:56) Góc nhìn từ con mèo của Schrödinger(10:40) Triết gia Kierkegaard và sự hối tiếc(11:15) Những ví dụ về điều đã có thể xảy ra(16:09) Either / Or – cái này hay cái kia?(20:38) Lối sống duy mỹ (aesthetic) và đạo đức (ethical)(26:35) Tìm kiếm lựa chọn ít hối tiếc nhất(28:59) Sống "All in" và "đấm xuyên qua nó"(36:22) Lời kết và chào tạm biệt

Kierkegaard writes that Christendom creates admirers of Jesus much like a piece of art would and not followers. A related topic is whether art is a legitimate expression of the faith.

S. EliotDiscussed extensively as an example of entering "the Great Conversation" between tradition and individuality.-"The Great Conversation" (concept)Referenced as the tradition of engaging with classic works across generations.In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the power of imagination, its relationship to reason, and why it is essential for human flourishing, Christian discipleship, moral decision-making, empathy, creativity, and a rich inner life. Drawing on the insights of Malcolm Guite, Blaise Pascal, Josef Pieper, T.S. Eliot, Aristotle, Søren Kierkegaard, Shakespeare, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nathan and Cameron discuss how imagination helps people perceive reality, envision a better future, cultivate contentment, engage deeply with Scripture, and participate in the great conversation of human thought. They also examine the dangers of fantasy, distraction, and deception, while making a compelling case for reading great books, slowing down, practicing reflection, and developing the imagination as a gift from God. If you're interested in Christian worldview, apologetics, philosophy, theology, classical education, faith and culture, spiritual formation, and the role of imagination in everyday life, this conversation offers practical wisdom and thought-provoking insights.

Kierkegaard uses the interaction at night between Jesus and Nicodemus to illustrate how a person of power, wealth, and position, fears man because of following Jesus. Nicodemus makes two more appearances in the Gospel of John. Once at the trial of Jesus where Nicodemus appealed to the Council to follow its own rules and also in asking for the body of Jesus to prepare it for burial. The last two stories show Nicodemus no longer was hiding in the dark.

Peter McGraw is joined by David Jitendranath for a Solo Book Club episode on Søren Kierkegaard's The Present Age. They discuss why this slim, difficult book feels eerily modern: a culture of reflection without action, irony without commitment, resentment disguised as equality, and “leveling” as the force that pulls down anyone who dares to stand apart. A conversation about aliveness, deep water, and what it costs to act as an individual in an age of endless commentary.Love the show?

  What happens when a person becomes more committed to the persona than the person underneath it? In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian Crawford and Bri explore the tension between authenticity, fame, identity, art, culture, leadership, and emotional pain. Using Drake, Justin Bieber, Sam Altman, Jay-Z, and Søren Kierkegaard as case studies, they unpack how people create personas to survive pain — and what it takes to create a life that truly matters. This conversation dives deep into: Why people dissociate from themselves The emotional cost of fame and influence Drake's "villain era" and what it reveals about modern culture Why responsibility is essential for growth Art as therapy, meaning, and legacy The danger of creating for applause instead of truth How technology, AI, and power reshape identity The role suffering plays in becoming authentic What it means to make your life a work of art Why slowing down and reflecting matters more than ever This is a conversation about becoming who you actually are — not who the world rewards you for pretending to be.

Landon Loftin, editor of Chesterton and the Philosophers and a speaker at this summer's Chesterton Conference, joins Joe Grabowski to discuss the first book to put G.K. Chesterton in direct conversation with figures of the Western philosophical tradition. Together they trace how G.K. Chesterton's literary and journalistic genius concealed a rigorous philosophical mind that professional academia has been slow to recognize—and why that neglect says more about the academy than about Chesterton. In This Episode: How a peer-reviewed journal's rejection of an essay on G.K. Chesterton and Hume sparked the idea for an entire edited volume Why G.K. Chesterton's best philosophical arguments are embedded in fiction and journalism rather than technical prose, and why that's a compliment to him, not a liability The essay on Chesterton and Aristotle, and how G.K. Chesterton understood virtue as a furious clash of opposites rather than a mild Aristotelian mean G.K. Chesterton's distinctive philosophical method: taking thinkers like Hume and William James more seriously than they took themselves, thereby dismantling their own arguments A preview of Loftin's Chesterton Conference talk on G.K.

REMINDER: COME SEE KYE x MIKE DUNCAN LIVE IN NYC Given the string of recent episodes that, in various ways, grappled with religion we wanted to take a step back and offer a rather personal conversation about believing in God, or not, and what difference it might makes. The discussion begins by revisiting when we first met over a decade ago and talked a lot about faith, then ranges widely, including: atheism vs agnosticism, W.H. Auden, why we're not experiencing a religious revival in the United States (but could be soon), and more.

Freedom is one of the few ideas everyone agrees on. Surely more choice and autonomy is a good thing, right? But what if our endless pursuit of freedom is actually making us more anxious, less creative, and holding us back from reaching our full potential?Today, Derek Thompson talks with bestselling author David Epstein about the surprising upside of constraints. After arguing for breadth in 'Range,' Epstein's new book, 'Inside the Box,' makes the opposite case: that limits and rules can actually unlock creativity and satisfaction. They explore why more options don't always make us happier, and how too many possibilities can lead to paralysis.As Søren Kierkegaard warned, anxiety may be the price of too much freedom. It's the dizziness that comes from keeping every option open. So in a world obsessed with maximizing choice and opening doors, this episode makes the case for something radical: closing some.
