Lying as Contraceptive Speech: Lessons from Dante's Inferno

Lying is a sterile act that impedes the purpose of the intellect. Today, Dcn. Harrison Garlick is joined by Sean Berube and Shannon of Catholic Frequency to discuss "Lying as Contraceptive Speech." Dcn. Garlick gives several short talks pulling from Dante's Inferno, the Gospel of St. John, and liberalism with responses from Sean and Shannon from a live recording on X (Twitter).Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for more help to read the great books!Master Adamo lies a bloated mass of “watery rot.” His amorphous frame bears his diseased paunch and distended limbs, as his lips curl and crack under his parching fever—despite being a waterlogged waste. He lies before Dante the Pilgrim and Virgil and explains how King Minos poured him into the last ditch of the eighth circle of hell. He was a counterfeiter of Florentine florins. He blurred the lines of reality in life and now he lays blurred—a poor counterfeit of his former self.In Dante's Inferno, the eighth circle of hell is composed of ten ditches populated by flatterers, fortune tellers, deceivers, alchemists, and other fraudulent souls. It is not surprising such souls suffer eternal torment, but it is surprising that Dante the Poet has them suffer with greater severity than murderers or the lustful. Why, for example, would a flatterer suffer a worse fate in hell than Attila the Hun? Why would an alchemist merit greater suffering than Cleopatra or Achilles? The structure of hell, as presented by Dante the Poet, moves from the lesser sins of incontinence—lust, greed, prodigality, etc.—to the greater sins of malice: violence and fraud. For Dante, fraud is more perverse than violence, because it represents an abuse of that which is highest in man: the intellect.The suffering of Master Adamo invites us to three considerations: first, how acting contrary to reason creates a counterfeit anthropology; second, how the intellect suffers when it satiates on untruth; and third, how lying is an act of sterility that leads to a superficial embrace of reality.It will remain, however, to question who is to blame for these unrealities becoming culturally normative, and the steps we must take to purge our imaginations of these counterfeits of Creation...Check out the article that inspired this podcast on the Josias: Our Contraceptive Speech.

We finish the 8th Circle of hell! Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Donald Prudlo of the University of Tulsa discuss pits 8-10 of the 8th Circle of Dante's Inferno (Cantos 26-31). Dr. Prudlo is an incredibly talented Catholic scholar! You'll want to hear what he has to say - especially about Odysseus, Troy, and the Garden of Eden.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for more resources!From our guide:64. What happens in the eighth ditch (Cantos 26-27)?Overlooking the eighth ditch, the Pilgrim and Virgil view the punishment of those souls King Minos found guilty of deception or evil counsel.[1] The Pilgrim sees columns of flames, and Virgil explains, “there are souls concealed within these moving fires, each one swathed in his burning punishment.”[2] Dante the Pilgrim observes a “flame with its tip split in two,” to which Virgil explains the flame contains the souls of both Ulysses and Diomedes.[3] The contrapasso of the eighth bolgia is that these deceivers burn as tongues of flame just as their tongues in life brought forth pain and destruction.[4] Moving on, the Pilgrim and Virgil meet another soul, Guido da Montefeltro, “a soldier who became a friar in his old age; but he was untrue to his vows when, at the urging of Pope Boniface VIII, he counseled the use of fraud in the pope's campaign against the Colonna family. He was damned to hell because he failed to repent of his sins, trusting instead in the pope's fraudulent absolution.”[5] Virgil and the Pilgrim press on, where, coming to the ninth ditch, they see “those who, sowing discord, earned Hell's wages.”[6]65. Does fire have a special role in the Inferno?Given its name, most expect fire to be the normative punishment of the Inferno—but it is not. The question is whether the role fire does play has a special pedagogical purpose. Dr. Prudlo sets forth that fire, especially as seen here as “tongues of fire,” represents an “anti-Pentecostal sin.” Fire plays a role in the punishment of the blasphemers, sodomites, usurers, simonists, and false counselors. Fire, as Dr. Prudlo notes, is the “most noble element in Dante's world,” and it plays a certain “refined punishment” in the Inferno. It seems to signify a certain “unnatural abuse” within the sin, an “abuse of some special gift that God has given us.” The role of fire in the Inferno merits further consideration.66. Is there a special relation between Ulysses (Odysseus) and Dante?Dante the Poet arguably has a certain fondness for Ulysses. As Dr. Prudlo observes: “genius untethered to virtue is one of the most dangerous things that can possibly exist.” Dante the Poet and Ulysses are both geniuses. Yet, Ulysses cannot find rest upon returning to Ithaca—the question for knowledge calls him away from his wife, son, and kingdom to journey out into unknown Ocean. He sails passed the Pillars of Heracles, which mark the boundaries of mortal men, and, upon seeing Mount Purgatory, God strikes his ship and all lives are lost. Dr. Prudlo remarks that where Ulysses attempted to make it to Mount Purgatory despite God, Dante the Pilgrim will make it to Mount Purgatory with God....

Seducers, Flatterers, Sorcerers, and more! Dcn.

What happens in the Eighth Circle of Hell: Simple Fraud (Canto 18)The Eighth Circle of Hell holds the souls of those King Minos found guilty of simple fraud and is composed of “ten stone ravines called Malebolge (Evil Pockets), and across each bolgia is an arching bridge.”[1] Each of the ten bolgias (pits, ditches, pockets, etc.) is filled with souls guilty of a different species of simple fraud: (1) panders and seducers (2) flatters (3) simoniacs (4) sorcerers (5) barrators (6) hypocrites (7) thieves (8) deceivers (9) sowers of discord and (10) falsifiers. Each bolgia in Malebolgia exhibits a different contrapasso.54. What happens in the first ditch (Canto 18)?After leaving Geryon, the Pilgrim observes the souls in the first ditch. Here, “two files of naked souls walked on the bottom” with each line walking a different direction.[2] The Pilgrim also notes, “I saw horned devils with enormous whips lashing the backs of shades with cruel delight.”[3] The souls here are pimps or panders in one line and seducers in the other. Notably, Dante the Pilgrim sees Jason the Argonaut suffering amongst the seducers.[4] Notice, however, that these seducers are not those who fell into passion, like Francisca, but rather those who act with malice to deceive others. It is the malice of malevolent nature of these sins that distinguish them from the incontinent sins.55. What happens in the second ditch (Canto 18)?Leaving the first bolgia (ditch), the Pilgrim and Virgil come upon the souls of the flatters suffering in the second ditch. The Pilgrim observes, “Now we could hear the shades in the next pouch whimpering, making snorting grunting souls… from a steaming stench below, the banks were coated with a slimy mold that suck to them like glue, disgusting to behold and worse to smell.”[5] Here, grunting in a ditch of excrement, are the flatterers. The contrapasso of the second ditch invites a stark juxtaposition between the honeyed words of flattery and the sordid reality of their deception. The Pilgrim makes this quite evident in his observation of Thais: “that repulsive and disheveled tramp scratching herself with shitty fingernails, spreading her legs while squatting up and down.”[6] Repulsed by Thais, Virgil and the Pilgrim move on. It should be noted, however, that this flattery is a malicious flattery intended to deceive.56. How is flattery a worst sin than lust, murder, or suicide?

It tells the tale of a young Athenian hero who slays a fearsome monster, freeing his people from a terrible curse. The story begins with King Minos of Crete, who was angered by the Athenians for the murder of his son, Androgeus. In revenge, Minos demanded that the Athenians send him a tribute of seven young men and seven young women every nine years. These youths were to be sacrificed to the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster that lived in the Labyrinth, a vast and confusing maze built by the craftsman Daedalus. One year, Theseus, the son of King Aegeus of Athens, volunteered to be one of the tributes. He was determined to slay the Minotaur and free his people from the curse. When Theseus arrived in Crete, he was met by Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos. Ariadne had fallen in love with Theseus and she agreed to help him. She gave him a ball of thread, which he could use to find his way through the Labyrinth. Theseus entered the Labyrinth and followed the thread. He eventually found the Minotaur and fought the monster to the death. He killed the Minotaur with his sword and escaped from the Labyrinth with the help of Ariadne. Theseus and Ariadne fled Crete and sailed back to Athens. They were greeted as heroes and Theseus was crowned king. He married Ariadne and they ruled Athens together for many years. The Moral Implications of the Myth The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur has a number of moral implications. It teaches us that courage, strength, and determination can overcome even the greatest challenges. It also teaches us that love and friendship can be powerful forces for good. In classical antiquity, the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur was used to promote the idea of civic duty. Theseus was seen as a model citizen who was willing to sacrifice himself for the good of his people. The myth also served as a warning against the dangers of tyranny. King Minos was seen as a tyrannical ruler who imposed his will on others through violence and fear. The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur is still relevant today. It teaches us that we should never give up hope, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. It also teaches us that we should always stand up to tyranny and injustice. How the Myth Applies to Modernity The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur can be applied to a number of modern-day issues. For example, it can be seen as a metaphor for the fight against terrorism. The Minotaur can be seen as a symbol of terrorism, while Theseus can be seen as a symbol of the people who fight against terrorism. The myth teaches us that we can overcome terrorism if we are brave, strong, and determined. The myth can also be applied to the fight against other forms of injustice, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. The Minotaur can be seen as a symbol of these forms of injustice, while Theseus can be seen as a symbol of the people who fight against them. The myth teaches us that we can overcome injustice if we are brave, strong, and determined. The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur is a powerful story that has been told for centuries. It is a story of courage, strength, determination, love, and friendship. It is a story that can inspire us to overcome any challenge, no matter how great.

The Myth of Icarus and Daedalus - Moral implications, etiological significance, and a rant on faith, love, and remembering to thank one's self

Be warned, the latter half of this episode gets a bit controversial as I discuss faith, love, and thanking yourself when we forget to. I cuss once. I wasn't anticipating the latter half to be as much of a rant as it was, but as they say... c'est la vie! The story of Icarus and Daedalus is a classic tale of hubris and the dangers of overreaching one's limits. Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, was imprisoned on the island of Crete by King Minos. To escape, he crafted wings of feathers and wax for himself and his son, Icarus. The two flew away from Crete, but Icarus grew too close to the sun, and the wax melted, causing him to fall to his death. The moral of the story is that humans should not try to reach too high, lest they be brought down by their own hubris. This warning is still relevant today, as we live in a world where technology is constantly expanding our capabilities. We must be careful not to become so reliant on technology that we forget our own limitations. In the classical sense, the story of Icarus and Daedalus can be seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of hubris. Hubris is a form of arrogance or pride that leads people to believe they are above the laws of nature or morality. In the story, Icarus's hubris leads him to fly too close to the sun, which ultimately leads to his downfall. In modernity, the story of Icarus and Daedalus can be seen as a warning about the dangers of overreliance on technology. Technology has the power to do great things, but it can also be dangerous if it is not used responsibly. We must be careful not to let technology control us, or we may find ourselves falling like Icarus. Here are some additional moral implications of the story of Icarus and Daedalus: The importance of listening to advice. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but Icarus did not listen. This led to his downfall. The importance of humility. Icarus's hubris led to his downfall. We should all be humble and aware of our limitations. The importance of moderation. Icarus was too eager to fly too high. We should all be moderate in our endeavors. The story of Icarus and Daedalus is a powerful reminder that we should all be careful not to overreach our limits. We should listen to advice, be humble, and be moderate in our endeavors.

In this conversation with Renaissance man, Jack Leissring, we discuss the sacred labyrinth, how it relates to the human condition, and how he has used his passion for art to create a world class art collection.   For Mr. Leissring, the labyrinth, which in mythology, was built to contain the Minotaur - (half-man/ half-beast) - is a potent symbol for the human condition and the search for meaning. Few people know more about the labyrinth than my guest, Jack Leissring, who has built four of them. This is a story about a man who fell so deeply in love with art that he designed his world around collecting art - and creating it.In Part One, we learn about the myth of King Minos and the minotaur and the maze that Daedalus created to contain the beast. We go on to discuss the early influences that shaped Mr. Leissring's passion for art and design.You will also hear some excerpts of Leissring playing his original compositions on piano.Jack Leissring's world class collection of over 4000 artworks includes over 470 artists, such as Duchamp's brother Jacques Villon, John Sloan, James Spitzer, Warrington Colescott, local artist Maria de los Angles,  and Jerrold Ballaine, among many others.  ABOUTJack Leissring is well known in Sonoma County for his world class collection of art, which he bought over decades, now housed in the JC Leissring Fine Art Collection. In addition to collecting art, Jack Leissring is venerated as a multi-talented Renaissance man who paints, sculpts, designs & builds buildings - He is also a jazz pianist and …. in his spare time- has written and published 32 books on a variety of subjects. And, by the way, he had a full time day job as a phy­sician, from which he is now retired.  You can view some of Jack Leissring's art  via these sites:https://www.jclfa.comhttps://www.jclfineart.comIf you enjoyed this show, please leave a positive review and share with your friends.

In this episode of Icarus, son of Daedalus, we hear of the consequences of defying King Minos. In Act III Daedalus gets thrown in the maze for his instrumental help satisfying Queen Pasiphae's abnormal desire for the bull from the sea. Icarus, in an unusual fit of loyalty, dutifully joins his father in the maze.   Meanwhile, her desire gone, Queen Pasiphae herself defies Minos and helps father and son escape the labyrinth, but Minos has been suspicious of Pasiphae for some time, and he catches all three before they can completely escape. Not only for this will there be Hades to pay from Minos, but also for Daedalus's part in aiding and abetting Princess Ariadne and the hero tribute Theseus slay the Minotaur and escape the labyrinth.  Given all this treachery can you fault Minos his high dudgeon?  This episode ends as father and son are led to the inescapable tower of Crete, their second and final incarceration.

The Leaves of a Victim never more with Steven Wilson

This episode I explore the educational paradigm of being known as a victim and how that translates to those around us; especially our family and how they treat us socially.My group discussed how they are treated when they return to family gatherings and how they conduct themselves and how they are treated by family and friends that know they were victims of sex abuse as children.This is something I know a great deal about as I wrote my dissertation on building an educational system or foundation.I read from Neil Postman's “The End of Education”.  He is a great mind and inspiration.

Everyone has heard about the fall of Icarus, right? The poster boy for adolescent heedlessness? But what do we really know about the young man beyond his fall? This episode of Icarus, son of Daedalus explores the backstory by covering the difficult youth of Icarus on the island Crete, where his father Daedalus is a virtual prisoner of the powerful King Minos, and his close and fraught relationships, respectively, with his mother, Naukrate, the former concubine of King Minos, and of course his father Daedalus, the creator of the labyrinth and inventor extraordinaire. Not to mention the unstable (at this time) Queen Pasiphae and her obsession and quote unquote relations with Poseidon's bull from the sea. What led to Icarus's foolishness? Was it all his doing? Was it inevitable that he tune out his father? Should Daedalus shoulder some of the blame? His mother Naukrate? King Minos and his court? Nature versus nurture? Tune in to learn more about this complex character beyond the archetype for teen rebellion. Subsequent episodes will of course speak to the father and son's imprisonment in the tower on Crete, the invention and assembly of the famous wings for escape and of course, the infamous fall, but also the continuation of Daedalus's flight from Minos to Sicily after the loss of his dear son, Icarus.

Relaxing horror music. The sounds of monstrous bioluminescent carnivorous predatory Kaiju beneath the icy surface of the moon. Europa or Jupiter II, is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet of all the 80 known moons of Jupiter. It is also the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei  and was named after Europa, the Phoenician mother of King Minos of Crete and lover of Zeus .Slightly smaller than Earth's Moon, Europa is primarily made of silicate rock and has a water-ice crust and probably an iron–nickel core. It has a very thin atmosphere, composed primarily of oxygen. Its surface is striated by cracks and streaks, but craters are relatively few. In addition to Earth-bound telescope observations, Europa has been examined by a succession of space-probe flybys, the first occurring in the early 1970s. Europa has the smoothest surface of any known solid object in the Solar System. The apparent youth and smoothness of the surface have led to the hypothesis that a water ocean exists beneath the surface, which could conceivably harbor extraterrestrial life. The predominant model suggests that heat from tidal flexing causes the ocean to remain liquid and drives ice movement similar to plate tectonics, absorbing chemicals from the surface into the ocean below. Sea salt from a subsurface ocean may be coating some geological features on Europa, suggesting that the ocean is interacting with the sea floor. This may be important in determining whether Europa could be habitable. In addition, the Hubble Space Telescope detected water vapor plumes similar to those observed on Saturn's moon Enceladus, which are thought to be caused by erupting cryogeysers --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beast669/support

A mesmerising retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. Perfect for fans of Circe, The Song of Achilles, and The Silence of the Girls. As Princesses of Crete and daughters of the fearsome King Minos, Ariadne and her sister Phaedra grow up hearing the hoofbeats and bellows of the Minotaur echo from the Labyrinth beneath the palace. The Minotaur - Minos's greatest shame and Ariadne's brother - demands blood every year. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives in Crete as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne falls in love with him. But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country, and Ariadne knows only too well that in a world ruled by mercurial gods - drawing their attention can cost you everything. In a world where women are nothing more than the pawns of powerful men, will Ariadne's decision to betray Crete for Theseus ensure her happy ending? Or will she find herself sacrificed for her lover's ambition? Ariadne gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous Greek myths and speaks to their strength in the face of angry, petulant Gods. Beautifully written and completely immersive, this is an exceptional debut novel.

The Minotaur comes to us from Greek mythology. Minotaur was the offspring between a queen and a glorious Bull, being born with the body of a man and the tail and head of its Bull father. King Minos thought him hideous, a monster, and built a Labyrinth that would hold the Minotaur until its death.

Surely everyone wondered how did the Minotaur tasted like! After Theseus killed him in the famous labyrinth of King Minos, why didn't he cook the monster? Hmmmmmm...OK I guess it is just me then! Joking aside, I had the great honour to talk with food archaeologist Jerolyn Morrison who is in the island of Crete. For the almost 3 decades now, with teams of dedicated, hard working archaeologists from different fields, she explores and excavates ancient sites all over the island. Jerolyn specialises on findings from the Minoan times, so we are talking really ancient stuff here! Times full of myths and legends! On average the findings generally are 3 to 4 thousand years old! Very little was written back then and mostly in a writing system that we haven't deciphered yet. Most of the evidence is in the form of foodstuff remains, fragments of earthenware pots, and ancient rubbish or what was the kitchen type rooms when these were abandoned /destroyed. A lot of detailed and forensic zoo-archaeological work is going on as you can imagine! So i was delighted to talk with Jerolyn and get an insight of the first European civilisation and their eating habits! What follows is an hour of fascinating facts about this mythical, distant past! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did! On top of all her hard work, Jerolyn is involved more broadly in recreating ancient food for modern audiences, with her social enterprise "Minoan Tastes" where people can book to learn how to cook with ancient ingredients, ancient cookware and ancient methods and techniques or more simply just to taste a menu inspired by Minoan Crete! More about how you can get involved you can find here:https://www.minoantastes.com/about Music by the exquisitely talented Pavlos Kapraloshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzgAonk4-uVhXXjKSF-Nz1AHave a lovely weekend and enjoy!The Delicious LegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

In this presentation Dr. Louise Hitchcock guides us through every aspect of Minoan History from the earliest populations and migrations into Crete to the hybridization of cultures and peoples that would come to define the peoples that we call the Minoans. Follow us as we explore the rise and fall of one of the greatest civilizations in history as we explore origins, art, architecture, religion, society, gender, hierarchy, primary sources, archaeology, historiography and violence. Lastly we approach their fall... and we ask ourselves where did they go? What happened? And who replaced them? An overview taken from Wikipedia: The Minoan civilization was a Bronze Age Aegean civilization on the island of Crete and other Aegean Islands, flourishing from c. 3000 BC to c. 1450 BC until a late period of decline, finally ending around 1100 BC. It represents the first advanced civilization in Europe, leaving behind massive building complexes, tools, artwork, writing systems, and a massive network of trade. The civilization was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century through the work of British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans. The name "Minoan" derives from the mythical King Minos and was coined by Evans, who identified the site at Knossos with the labyrinth and the Minotaur. The Minoan civilization has been described as the earliest of its kind in Europe, and historian Will Durant called the Minoans "the first link in the European chain".

Wielding the “sword” of aesthetic sensitivity, they deploy the “thread” of thoughtful critique to keep their bearings in the “Cretan labyrinth” that is Ep 7, hoping to triumph over the “King Minos” of Coatl’s creative team and spirit away the “Ariadne” of a full and rich understanding—seemingly unaware that she has already been promised to the “Dionysus” of textual inscrutability - “Theseus” - “Daedalus” - “Naxos” - “                      ” - “3nm node” - “nanosheet FET” - “Phaedra” - “Aegeus”

Welcome to Blackbird9's Breakfast Club's Wednesday Podcast From Labyrinth To Front Lines. Tonight we will look at the symbolism of the Greek Myth of Theseus and The Minotaur's Labyrinth.https://www.blackbird9tradingposts.org/2018/02/28/from-labyrinth-to-front-lines-blackbird9/In the First Hour Host Frederick C. Blackburn will cover the recent chaotic events brought on by the teachings of the Frankfurt School Marxists. Their mission: establish a Greater Israel ruled by globalism under the direction of Talmudic Noahide Law and at the same time force all other nations to surrender their independent sovereignty. In the Second Hour, From Labyrinth To Front Lines, the host examines the symbolism in the story of Theseus and The Minotaur's Labyrinth in classic Greek Mythology. In a continuation from last week's show, Escaping A House Of Stairs, the host looks at the strategies used by Theseus to not only escape the maze in which he had been imprisoned against his will, but how he rose up and defeated both The Minotaur and King Minos. This ushered in a new Golden Age of Greek Civilization and prosperity. What lessons can we learn from this heroic tale to aid us today in our Fourth Generation Asymmetrical Warfare struggles against BOZ - The Beast of Zion that seeks to enslave all of humanity in the Global Physical and Psychological Labyrinth of their New World Order as well as carry out White Genocide against the children of Theseus?

Icarus and his father were imprisoned by King Minos of Crete within the walls of the Labyrinth his father created. But being a great craftsman his father would not suffer captivity. He made two pairs of wings by adhering feathers to a wooden frame with wax. Giving one pair to his son, he cautioned him that flying too near the sun would cause the wax to melt. But Icarus became ecstatic with the ability to fly and forgot his father's warning and flew too close to the sun. The wax melted, the feathers came loose and Icarus plunged to his death in the sea.

“I am my own undoing. But there have been many positives to come out of it.”Tom HardinThis week we explore some very new terrain.Let's kick it off with the Greek myth of Icarus.As the story goes, Daedalus — a master craftsman best known for building King Minos' labyrinth to trap the Minotaur — plied his talent to construct a pair of wax and feather wings to help him and his son Icarus escape from Minos' vendetta (it's a long story) and Crete altogether.Being the good father he was, Daedalus pled with his son not to fly too close to the sun for fear that the heat would melt the wings. But as sons are wont to do, Icarus ignored his father’s advice.The rest is history. The heat indeed melted Icarus' wings, sending him into a deathly free fall collision with the sea which today bears his name, the Ikarian Sea near Ikaria — ironically one of the Blue Zones as described in my recent podcast conversation with Dan Buettner.As most know, this is an age-old remonstration about ambition. A tragic allegory about the perils of hubris, particularly when fueled by a sense of entitlement, and perhaps sprinkled with a light dusting of denial.These are all very human traits of course. And if today's guest is anything, he is quite human indeed.Tom Hardin was a highly motivated young guy with a big bright future and Wall Street aspirations. After graduating from the prestigious Wharton School of Business, he was on track to achieve his dream when he landed in the fast paced hedge fund world and quickly rose through the ranks.But it wasn’t long before Tom felt he was falling behind – lacking that mysterious competitive ‘edge’ so many others seemed to freely enjoy (without repercussion) to their reward in untold millions.What was that edge? If you ask Tom, he will tell you the not so secret to success within the insular hedge fund world meant having a network of inside sources willing to share reliable confidential information about companies they worked for or with.Everybody's doing it. Nobody's getting caught. I'm falling behind.Then one day Tom got a call from an investor colleague named Roomy Khan – a woman with some pretty juicy insider tips.The timing was right. Tom was primed. And that fateful moment arose. That moment when you make a decision to take a very small step over a very important line. A decision you simply cannot undo. Not now, not ever.For Tom, it started with taking a few small crumbs off the table. An imperceptible insider trade here, another one there. Until one day, the previously unthinkable became easy. Almost too easy.Capitalizing on a handful of secrets fed by Khan and others about companies like Google, 3Com and Hilton Hotels, Tom's flight towards the sun escalated to the tune of $1.7 million in gains for his fund and $46K in personal profits.Then in July 2008, while dropping of his dry cleaning one morning, Tom felt a tap on the shoulder. A tap that would alter the trajectory of his life forever.Like a scene out of a movie, Tom turned to face two FBI agents boxing him in with with a Hobson's choice – either get in the back of the black sedan for a trip downtown, or start providing actionable information on those higher up the food chain.Panicked and heart pounding, he immediately opted for the latter.Ultimately, Tom became one of the most prolific informants in securities fraud history. Soon infamous as the mysterious, unnamed Tipper X, Tom spent the next several years wiretapping and documenting the illegal misdeeds of friends and c...

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Minoan Civilisation.In 1900 the British archaeologist Arthur Evans began excavating some ancient ruins at Knossos on the island of Crete. He uncovered an enormous palace complex which reminded him of the mythical labyrinth of King Minos. Evans had in fact discovered the remnants of a Bronze Age society; in honour of Crete's legendary king he named it the Minoan Civilisation.The Minoans flourished for twelve centuries, and their civilisation was at its height around three and a half thousand years ago, when they built elaborate palaces all over the island. They were sophisticated builders and artists, and appear to have invented one of the world's earliest writing systems. Since Evans's discoveries a hundred years ago, we have learnt much about Minoan society, religion and culture - but much still remains mysterious.With:John BennetProfessor of Aegean Archaeology at Sheffield UniversityEllen AdamsLecturer in Classical Art and Archaeology at King's College LondonYannis HamilakisProfessor of Archaeology at the University of Southampton.Producer: Thomas Morris.
