John Vervaeke is joined by Atheist Spiritual Director, Britt Hartley to explore what happens after belief falls apart. Britt shares her personal journey through suicidal nihilism and how mysticism, resonance, and play led her to rediscover meaning and orientation in life without needing to return to religion. John and Britt challenge the limits of therapeutic models, explore the difference between propositional truth and lived wisdom, and ask whether modern secular culture has lost the capacity to sustain sacredness. This Lectern is a philosophical act of compassion, bridging ancient spiritual technologies and contemporary existential pain. John and Britt offer pathways for transformation that bypass belief while restoring depth, connectedness, and awe.

What happens when data knows us better than we know ourselves? In this raw and riveting conversation, John Vervaeke and Christopher Mastropietro sit down with Andy Russell — a former architect of data-driven persuasion — to expose how AI, behavioral profiling, and social media algorithms can hijack human desire, threaten our agency, and reshape our civilization. But there's hope: what if the same power that manipulates us can be used to heal us? This episode lays bare the disturbing origins of persuasion tech, how it was used in politics and commerce, and what it will mean when AI takes the driver's seat. Andy shares his personal reckoning, his brush with death, and how he's dedicating the rest of his life to restoring dignity and meaning to the human experience — with spiritual urgency. Andy Russell is a serial entrepreneur and former insider in data and media technology. After helping build some of the very tools that now shape persuasion online, he experienced a profound moral and existential crisis. He now advocates for radical transparency, decentralized AI, and human-centered design as a pathway toward societal healing. Christopher Mastropietro is a philosophical writer who is fascinated by dialogue, symbols, and the concept of self. He actively contributes to the Vervaeke Foundation. Sundae Labs aims to build tools and systems that foster a healthier relationship between humanity and technology.   Notes: (0:00) Introduction to the Series (1:00) Andy Russell's Journey — From Data Pioneer to Whistleblower (4:00) The Origin of Data-Driven Persuasion Tech (6:30) Persuasion and Political Weaponization — The 2016 Turning Point (9:45) How Data and Emotion Drive Modern Media Campaigns (13:30) “Turning Humans into Puppets”: Behavioral Influence at Scale (15:30) Personal Collapse — Andy's Reckoning with His Role (18:00) Between Frodo and Boromir: Can Anyone Wield the Ring?

Two businesses are getting slammed by both political sides, all because a guy was coming to Omaha for a visit.  A guy who was in the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.  A guy who posed smiling with Nancy Pelosi's Lectern.  We talked to him about all of this.  After that, we turned our attention to the former president's speech last night (what we could hear of it), ICE "scaring people" in Omaha, and whether I have anyone in witness protection on my block.

In this episode, Rick does something a little different - a solo deep dive into someone who is actively destroying American institutions and harming citizens. Today, he breaks down the dangerous conduct of Karoline Leavitt, a key figure in the Trump administration, exposing her deceitful actions and the toxic political culture she embodies. Rick draws parallels between Leavitt's behavior and the influence of figures like Roy Cohn on Donald Trump's political strategy. The episode emphasizes the importance of holding these bad actors accountable and stresses the need for a free and inquisitive press during these turbulent times. 00:00 Introduction and New Format Announcement 02:04 Highlighting the Enemies: Carolyn Levitt 03:41 The Influence of Roy Cohn and Roger Stone 05:53 Carolyn Levitt's Media Tactics 11:40 The Hypocrisy of the Trump Administration 14:10 Conclusion: Carolyn Levitt on the Enemies List Learn more about your ad choices.

The discussion explores authenticity as one of the premier virtues of modernity, comparing it with autonomy, and tracing its roots through romanticism and existentialism, notably discussing Heidgegger and Kierkegaard. Greg introduces psychological perspectives and client-centered therapy influenced by Carl Rogers, while Matthew shares insights from his empirical research on dispositional authenticity carried out at the University of Chattanooga. The trio also touch on the tensions between self-identification and participation, self-alienation, cognitive fluency, and the societal quest for authenticity, proposing a nuanced and dynamic understanding of the true self. Gregg R. Henriques is an American psychologist. He is a professor for the Combined-Integrated Doctoral Program at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, US. Matthew Schaublin is a master's candidate in psychology at the University of Chattanooga, with a four-year research focus on authenticity. His work blends empirical psychology with philosophical and classical inquiry, investigating how dispositional authenticity is expressed and experienced. —- Notes:  0:00 Introduction to the Lectern 0:45 Exploring the Concept of Authenticity 3:30 Greg's Perspective on Authenticity 5:00 Matthew's Research on Dispositional Authenticity 9:00 Theoretical Foundations of Authenticity 12:30 Philosophical and Clinical Perspectives 24:30 Relational and Psychological Dimensions 36:30 The Evolution of Self-Definition in Modernity 38:00 The Greek Roots of Authenticity 39:30 Modeling Authenticity and Personality 43:15 Rationalization and Authenticity 44:45 Tensions in Authenticity: Identification vs. Participation 49:00 The SAFE Model of Authenticity 55:00 Empirical Studies on Authenticity and Agency 1:06:30 Key Takeaways and Future Directions —-- Connect with a community dedicated to self-discovery and purpose, and gain deeper insights by joining our Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.

As AI continues to advance and integrate into our daily lives, can it truly be designed to align with our deepest human values and moral principles? If so, how can we ensure that AI not only understands but also respects and promotes our ethical frameworks, without compromising our privacy or hindering our personal growth and autonomy?  John Vervaeke, Christopher Mastropietro, and Jordan Hall embark on a nuanced exploration of the intricate relationship between AI and human flourishing. They explore the concept of "intimate AI," a personalized guardian that attunes to individual biometrics and psychometrics, offering a protective and challenging presence. The discussion underscores the critical importance of privacy, the perils of idolatry, and the urgent need for a new philosophical framework that addresses the meaning crisis. Jordan Hall is a technology entrepreneur with several years of experience building disruptive companies. He is interested in philosophy, artificial intelligence, and complex systems and has a background in law. Hall has worked for several technology companies and was the founder and CEO of DivX. He is currently involved in various think tanks and institutes and is focused on upgrading humanity's capacity for thought and action.

What if the deepest truth of reality lies not in substances or isolated things, but in the pure relationality that connects everything? John Vervaeke is joined by renowned scholar Douglas Hedley to explore James Filler's groundbreaking work "Heidegger, Neoplatonism, and the History of Being." John and Douglas examine the profound implications of viewing ultimate reality as fundamentally relational rather than substantial, uncovering significant convergences between Heidegger's later thought and the ancient Neoplatonic tradition. The dialogue goes into how Neoplatonic metaphysics offers potent solutions to the philosophical dilemmas posed by modernity and postmodernity, and why the notion of strong transcendence is essential yet challenging in contemporary thought. Douglas enriches the discourse with reflections on imagination, symbolism, and theological significance within the Neoplatonic heritage. Douglas Hedley is Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge University. He was educated at Keble College, Oxford and at the University of Munich, and has previously taught at Nottingham University. He is the Director of the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Platonism and co-chair of the Platonism and Neoplatonism section of the American Academy of Religion. Dr Hedley's work centers on concepts of imagination, violence, and the sublime, and he has published widely, from early modern philosophy—particularly the Cambridge Platonists—to Coleridge. He is the Principal Investigator for the AHRC grant on The Cambridge Platonists at the Origins of Enlightenment: Texts, Debates, and Reception (1650-1730), and is co-editor of the Series Studies in Philosophical Theology.

  What is the true nature of contemplation, and how does it intertwine with our understanding of reality? John Vervaeke is joined by Mateusz Stróżyński to discuss his masterful work, Plotinus and the Contemplation of the Intelligible World. They explore the deep and often overlooked wisdom of Plotinus, one of history's greatest thinkers. Together, they dive into the connection between thought and experience, revealing how contemplation isn't just about thinking it's about actively participating in reality itself. Mr. Stróżyński breaks down Plotinus' intricate view of the universe, showing how everything is woven together in a way that challenges our modern, fragmented way of seeing the world. They go on to discuss the nature of the self and what it means to truly “know” something, touching on insights from Buddhist Dzogchen, Christian mysticism, and personal experience. Mateusz Stróżyński is a professor of classical philology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, and a practicing psychoanalyst. His research focuses on the intersection of Platonism, mysticism, and spirituality, exploring how ancient philosophical traditions inform modern contemplative practice. He is the author of Plotinus and the Contemplation of the Intelligible World.

No one is immune to relationship betrayal. Anyone can be deceived and lied to by their partner. Do you believe that? My guest today, Kathi Miner PhD and author of “The Committed Professor. A Memoir: My Fall from the Lectern to the Psych Ward” says “yes”. What's shocking about this cheating story is that Kathi's lifelong commitment to feminism and feminist values couldn't protect her from the narcissistic abuse she suffered in her marriage to her husband whom we'll call Seth. Join us to hear how betrayal trauma took Kathi her to the brink her sanity, and to the brink of her life.

"How does the concept of a 'limited God' differ from traditional theistic views, and what implications does this have for understanding the purpose of the universe and human existence?" John Vervaeke is joined by Phillip Goff to discuss his influential book, Why? The Purpose of the Universe, and his unique perspective on panpsychism. The duo discuss the intricate philosophical questions concerning the nature of consciousness, the purpose of the universe, and the existential meaning that interweaves with our fundamental worldview. Goff elucidates his nuanced yet respected stance on panpsychism, highlighting his academic contributions at Durham University. Goff introduces the concept of a "goddish" entity, explaining that the universe may have a sense of purpose or goal-directedness without adhering to traditional theistic views. Goff and John examine the commonalities between Goff's ideas and Neoplatonism, as well as Whitehead's process theology, noting the importance of a unifying principle in the universe. The dialogue also touches on holistic perspectives on health, highlighting the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Phillip Goff is a philosophy professor at Durham University, UK, who dedicates most of his time to unraveling the ultimate nature of reality. In his recent book, Why? The Purpose of the Universe (Oxford University Press, 2023), he explores the middle ground between traditional belief in God and secular atheism. Goff recently converted to a form of 'heretical Christianity,' which he discusses in this article and this interview.

Question - "How does Jhana meditation simplify experience to facilitate insight and cognitive flexibility?" John Vervaeke is joined by Mark Miller, Rick Repetti, to explore the intersection of predictive processing, relevance realization, and embodied cognition in contemplative practices. They introduce PhD candidate Jonas Mago, who discusses his research on Jhana meditation and its impact on cognitive flexibility and insight. The conversation touches on contrasting Jhana practices with charismatic Christian traditions such as speaking in tongues. They also explore how Jhana states temporarily reduce the complexity of perception, allowing practitioners to observe the construction and deconstruction of their experiential models. The neuroscientific evidence provided, such as changes in brain responses during these states, adds depth to this exploration, illustrating how such simplification can lead to profound insights. Mark Miller, a philosopher and cognitive scientist, holds a senior research fellowship at Monash University's Center for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies in Australia, with affiliations at the University of Toronto and Hokkaido University in Japan. His work, which dives into the interplay between human thought, technology's impact on well-being, and human-computer interaction, is at the forefront of integrating cognitive neuroscience with philosophical inquiry. Rick Repetti is Professor of Philosophy at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY, USA. He is the author of The Counterfactual Theory of Free Will (2010), as well as several articles on Buddhism, meditation, free will, and philosophy of religion. Jonas Mago is a cognitive neuroscientist and wellbeing aficionado, deeply invested in understanding the cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms underlying human flourishing. His research explores contemplative practices designed to cultivate wholesome states of mind—spanning meditation, prayer, collective cultural rituals, and psychedelic therapies. I approach these topics from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating cognitive science, neurobiology, computational modeling, and phenomenology to investigate mechanisms of self-regulation and transformation. He is currently pursuing my doctoral studies in Neuroscience at McGill University under the supervision of Dr. Michael Lifshitz, with co-supervision from Prof. Dr. Karl Friston. His academic journey includes a master's degree in Mind, Language, and Embodied Cognition from the University of Edinburgh (UK) and undergraduate studies in Liberal Arts and Sciences at University College Maastricht (Netherlands).

In a surprise turn of events, Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from the nomination of Attorney General.. Despite resigning from his seat in congress almost instantaneously after receiving it. However, some people are speculating there may be a bigger agenda at play here — could it be that Matt was avoiding an ethics report coming out?Also.. as of last night, Russia has officially shot ICBMs into Ukraine — escalating what some think may turn into a nightmare scenario for the entire world. Will things escalate, or fall flat? Adam Johnson, aka ‘Via Getty', aka ‘The Lectern Guy' joins us tonight for NIGHTLY OFFENSIVE! __ ⇩SUPPORT THE SHOW⇩➤ JOIN CENSORED TV: Watch this FULL EPISODE ad free + EXCLUSIVE content at https://censored.tv/ promo code “OFFENSIVE” for 20% - Keep free speech media alive!➤ JOIN THE PRIVATE LIVE COMMUNITY: https://elijahschaffer.locals.com/➤ NOTICER T-SHIRTS / MERCH: https://slightlyoffensive.com/__⇩ SHOW SPONSORS⇩➤ VAN MAN COMPANY: Vanman Co. is the go-to source for all-natural, non-toxic and chemical free products — from creams to deodorant, soap and mouthwash, Vanman Co. is one of the only companies to deliver on quality without cutting corners when it comes to your health and well-being.

John Vervaeke engages in a profound discussion with James Filler, author of 'Heidegger, Neoplatonism, and the History of Being'. They examine the core arguments of Jame's book, which emphasizes relationality as more fundamental than individual existence in understanding reality. The conversation explores Neoplatonism, Heidegger's philosophy, and the convergence of these ideas with contemporary physics and biology. James recounts his journey in developing his dissertation into a pivotal work aimed at reorienting ontological perspectives. John and James also discuss the trajectory of Western and Eastern Christian thought, touching upon relational ontology's scientific and ethical ramifications. James Filler is the author of Heidegger, Neoplatonism, and the History of Being, a groundbreaking work exploring the philosophical underpinnings of relational ontology. His forthcoming book, Substance Ontology and the Crisis of Reason deepens the critique of substance thinking in Western philosophy.

John Vervaeke and Evan Thompson continue the exploration of life, cognition, and consciousness, drawing from interdisciplinary collaboration and philosophical discourse. The discussion challenges reductionist perspectives in biology, examines organisms as autonomous agents, and questions the adequacy of current models to explain life's complexities. Consciousness is explored through presence and embodiment, while also debating the roles of large language models like ChatGPT in understanding cognitive processes. By integrating philosophical and phenomenological perspectives, the episode addresses the interconnectedness of consciousness, cognition, and life, transcending traditional mind-matter dichotomies and emphasizing the significance of embodiment in cognitive functions.  Evan Thompson is a philosopher and author, specializing in the integration of cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and Asian philosophical traditions. Based at the University of British Columbia, his work, including his recent book 'The Blind Spot', examines the intersections of consciousness, experience, and reality through a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach.   Immerse yourself in the groundbreaking insights of Evan Thompson's thought-provoking book, "The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience”   Notes:  (0:00) Introduction: Welcome to the Lectern (0:15) Evan Thompson's Background and the Book 'The Blind Spot' (2:10) The Blind Spot in Perception: Cognitive Science, Asian Philosophy, and Mystical Insight  (2:30) Revolution in Biology: Life, Cognition, and Consciousness (5:00) Autonomous Agents vs. Machines (11:30) Challenges to Newtonian Mechanics and Reductionist Ontology (22:00) Life as Self-Enabling, Not law-Entailing (32:00) Historical and Nomological Explanations in Biology (39:00) Epiphenomenalism (43:00) Debunking Computational Functionalism (45:00) Exploring Cognition and Relevance Realization (49:00) Limits of AI (51:00) The Energy and Social Costs of AI (1:00:00) Structures of Consciousness (1:08:00) The Primacy of Awareness and Embodiment (1:22:00) Concluding Thoughts and Future Discussions   ---  Connect with a community dedicated to self-discovery and purpose, and gain deeper insights by joining our Patreon.

In this episode, John Vervaeke and Harvard professor Charles Stang explore the concept of the 'daimon'', stemming from Stang's book Our Divine Double. John and Charles discuss semi-autonomous entities in psychological and philosophical contexts, linking ancient wisdom and modern cognitive science. Key topics include Socratic 'daimonion', Platonic thought, phenomenology of visionary encounters, and cultural ontology. They emphasize the embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended nature of cognition, highlighting the relevance of understanding these phenomena amid emerging technologies like AGI and virtual realities. The episode calls for Socratic self-awareness to navigate these transformative potentials and risks. Charles Stang is a Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School and Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions. His research focuses on ancient Mediterranean religions, Neoplatonism, and contemporary philosophy and spirituality. His research and teaching focus on the history of Christianity in the context of the ancient Mediterranean world, especially Eastern varieties of Christianity. More specifically, his interests include: the development of asceticism, monasticism, and mysticism in Christianity; ancient philosophy, especially Neoplatonism; the Syriac Christian tradition, especially the spread of the East Syrian tradition along the Silk Road; other philosophical and religious movements of the ancient Mediterranean, including Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and Manichaeism; and modern continental philosophy and theology, especially as they intersect with the study of religion.

In fact, that seems to be an essential feature. If you don't have that, if your attention and intelligence couldn't ever do this reflective thing, then it's hard to know how you could ever be rational in the, in the way we seem to indicate like noticing bias or noticing fallacy or noticing misdirection.” — John Vervaeke (39:40)

Today is day 228 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Scripture. 228. How should you “hear” the Bible? I should hear the Bible through regular participation in the Church's worship, in which I join in reciting Scripture, hear it read and prayed, and listen to its truth proclaimed. (Nehemiah 8:1–8, 18; Psalm 81; Luke 4:16–30; 1 Timothy 4:6–16; Revelation 1:1–3) We will conclude today with The Bishop's Blessing of the Lectern found on page 529 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

This week, I sit down with three international lecturers—Justin Moody, Kristine Aadland, and Dan Holtzclaw—to discuss each of their own experiences and challenges of lecturing abroad. We recorded late at night in Justin's Scottsdale home, so we get into some unexpected territory from navigating cultural differences to the perks of travel, our candid conversation shows what it's really like on the other side of the lectern.   Join the conversation: https://forms.gle/F5GBRUrAdxop4UoM7

Working from his off-grid home at Lima East, Shaun Murphy (pictured with his creation) created and built the almost unnoticed lectern used at the recent annual Swanpool Environmental Film Festival. The beautiful, and quiet, lectern is a piece of art, reflecting the caring nature of those behind the festival. Shaun, seen by many as the area's "resident artist" lives with his wife, a district nurse, at a Lima East cooperative, surrounded by bush a living, except for rare occasions with energy coming from a solar system and a small hydroelectric plant on the creek running through the property. When commissioned to build the lectern, Shaun said he wanted the unit to be both practical and beautiful - it is most certainly both those things.

Racism in government opportunities is a contentious issue that has sparked debates and discussions across the nation. Mike Sperrazza, drawing from his observations of Google's AI struggles and the policies that prioritize certain racial groups, argues that the exclusion of white individuals from certain opportunities is a form of discrimination. He advocates for a more inclusive and merit-based approach to government opportunities. Similarly, Mike Hoeflich, who also perceives a bias against white individuals in government opportunities, criticizes the hypocrisy of promoting diversity and inclusion for certain racial groups but not for white individuals. He calls for a significant change in government policies to address these discriminatory practices. Both Sperrazza and Hoeflich's perspectives are shaped by their belief in the importance of fairness and equality in government opportunities, regardless of race.

Today is day 228 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Scripture. 228. How should you “hear” the Bible? I should hear the Bible through regular participation in the Church's worship, in which I join in reciting Scripture, hear it read and prayed, and listen to its truth proclaimed. (Nehemiah 8:1–8, 18; Psalm 81; Luke 4:16–30; 1 Timothy 4:6–16; Revelation 1:1–3) We will conclude today with The Bishop's Blessing of the Lectern found on page 529 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Throughout much of the coverage of January 6th, anyone who stood up and said "something's not right here" has been vilified and their guilt by association has tarnished their public image and reputation. This interview has been a goal of mine for awhile to tell the other side of the story; not the government's story....not the salacious bought and paid for media story....And certainly not the warpigs who consider themselves rulers and not servants to the very people they now prosecute. Adam has sat down and told his story numerous times, but I am hopeful that I was successful in giving you something unique to take away from this episode.

Tuesday Teaching Tip 319 | The Ten Commandments of Effective Teaching and Preaching | Malcolm Cox 4th Commandment: Respect the time Introduction Our preaching and teaching will never be perfect. But can we be effective? That's a noble aim.  “At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.” (Acts 14:1 NIV11) Point of clarification Jesus spoke briefly on occasion, and at length on others (sermon on the mount; 3 days of teaching leading up to the feeding of the four thousand in Mark 8). Paul spoke for several hours in Acts 20:7. There is no such thing as a universally ideal length for a lesson. It all depends on the context and the skills of the speaker. Some people can be captivating for an hour. Some most certainly cannot. However, a wise speaker will have a sober estimate of their ability to hold an audience's attention, and a healthy respect for the occasion and what is appropriate.  These tips will focus on helping us to speak, shorter rather than longer. Not because longer is worse than shorter, but because the tendency of my speakers is to go too long, rather than too short. 10 Tips to help you respect the time If you are a visiting speaker find out how long they want you to speak for If the venue is stuffy, hotter or colder than usual, err on the short side.  Find out if something else is scheduled after your talk. Finish in good time so that event is not compromised.  Be clear on your main point. Lessons tend to go long when we are not so clear why we are speaking and what our main point is. Leave your audience wanting more. People are rarely annoyed if speakers finish early. They are frequently annoyed if they finish late. Practice your talk. Time yourself.  If your habit is to go too long listen to some of your previous talks and notice the kind of material you could cut out. Do you use more illustrations than necessary? Are you repeating yourself?  Use a timer. Set an alarm on your watch or smart phone. Put it on the Lectern.  Identify material in your presentation that you could cut out if necessary. Material which is not crucial to your main point. Then you will know which bits to skip if you need to. Pray to be disciplined and sensitive to your audience. It is their time, not yours. If you go 15 minutes too long, that's only 15 minutes of your time, but if you are speaking to 40 people, that's a total of 10 hours of their time you have taken up. Ask God to help you be submissive to the needs of your listeners, rather than in love with your own material. I would like to know what you think of these ‘commandments' and tips. What is missing? Which ones interest you the most? Conclusion Next week: 5th Commandment: Great learning is more important than great teaching. Consider joining AIM UK&Ireland to develop your understanding of Scripture: https://aimukandireland.com/. Our next module is Homiletics (the preparation and delivery of lessons).

On this cases-and-tidbits episode, Jeff Lewis and I discuss:Ramirez v. Avon Products: There is no “corporate representative” or PMQ exception to hearsay and foundation objections. So summary judgment had to be reversed.Flickinger v. Finwall: Do you ever worry your prelitigation demand letters may be construed as extortion? I mean, Flatley v. Mauro shows the letter has to be really bad, but some judges find extortion where there isn't any. That can be chilling. Which may be why the Court of Appeal published this recent opinion finding no extortion, thus reversing the trial court.Are DVRO or CHROs prior restraints on speech? Czodor v.

If you have a judgment against a debtor and you want to do some judgment collection in another state, is personal jurisdiction an obstacle? Do you have to show the debtor has minimum contacts with the other state? No, says a new published case.

Adam Johnson, a Trump supporter from Florida, was so convinced the election was stolen that he flew to D.C. and was at the front of the mob that tried to break into the U.S. House chamber.

The California Supreme Court is getting a new chief justice. What does it mean? The author of prominent legal blog At the Lectern, David Ettinger, joins co-hosts Tim Kowal and Jeff Lewis to look back on Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye's 11-year tenure, her legacy, her replacement, Justice Patricia Guerrero—and why is the governor “appointing” a new Supreme Court justice when the state constitution says he needs to “nominate”?David's critical coverage of Gov. Newsom's decision to “appoint” rather than “nominate” drew a phone call from the governor's office, which he discusses.Other topics discussed include:“Taking one for the team”: how the CJ described her decision to write some of the Court's more controversial opinions.“We don't need to speak so broadly”: how the CJ described her approach to writing judicial opinions.The Court's very long “pandemic docket” might have played a role in CJ Cantil-Sakauye's retirement.When the Supreme Court granted review of the case involving Los Angeles DA Gascon's challenge to Three Strikes, David suggests the Court might be more interested in the scope and exercise of prosecutorial discretion, rather than taking a blow at Three Strikes directly.When Gov. Jerry Brown got frustrated with the Supreme Court. Today, the Court grants all of Gov. Newsom's clemency requests, but it denied many of Gov. Brown's. Why? Turns out, governors get just as frustrated at summary denials as the rest of us do: “Read the ones who were approved and read the ones who were disapproved,” Gov. Brown challenged, “and you tell me what the rule is.”David Ettinger's biography, LinkedIn profile, and At The Lectern blog.Appellate Specialist Jeff Lewis' biography, LinkedIn profile, and Twitter feed.Appellate Specialist Tim Kowal's biography, LinkedIn profile, Twitter feed, and YouTube page.Sign up for Tim Kowal's Weekly Legal Update, or view his blog of recent cases.Use this link to get a 25% lifetime discount on Casetext.Other items discussed in the episode:David Ettinger on the Court's pandemic docket:  https://www.atthelectern.com/pandemic-docket-update/.David Ettinger on the Court's decline in productivity: https://www.atthelectern.com/whats-ailing-the-california-supreme-court-its-productivity-has-plummeted/.David Ettinger on the Court's clemency grants and denials: https://www.atthelectern.com/second-times-the-charm-for-lwop-clemency-request/ [”essentially court determinations that the clemency grants would have been abuses of gubernatorial powers”]; https://www.atthelectern.com/it-was-like-a-ton-of-bricks-crushed-me-california-grapples-with-historic-clemency-rejections/ [Gov.

When we stand in front of an audience to give a speech, not always, but many times we are actually standing behind a lectern. We all know what these look like; however, has anyone ever told you how to go about using one? No, there are no buttons to press or levers to flip. However, it turns out that a lectern can help you to give a more powerful speech – if you know how to use it correctly. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jim-anderson1/support

A dialogue of Bruno and Momo learning new word, Lectern

Back in May, Erik was a last-minute guest at the 2018 Convocation of the Apostolic Johannite Church, where he gave a lecture on the Art of Memory. Here’s a link to the AJC’s recording of that lecture on their podcast, The Lectern. In this talk, I cover the history of the Art of Memory and then discuss Giordano Bruno’s role in expanding the philosophy of magical memory in the Renaissance. Part of this topic involves the power of imagination, the use of Phantasy for magical purposes, and the incredible power of images. I gave the talk using my Raspberry Pi Zero W lecture slides machine, so you can hear me fumble around with that at the beginning. Edit: The slides and notes for this talk can be found over on Arnemancy.com. Sorry I didn’t link them earlier! Support My Alchemical Bromance on the Arnemancy Patreon!
