When I first conceived of my theory of everything named “A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything” back in 2008, I was unfamiliar with Gnosticism. A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything is presented in secular terms, using common concepts from all fields of human endeavor from math and science on through religion, psychology, and sociology. In A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything, God is usually referred to as Metaversal Consciousness, and we here on this plane carry that consciousness forward into this life as Units of Consciousness. A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything was written to appeal to folks who usually don't go in for religion but who, nonetheless, are seeking an overall structure for understanding the mysteries of life. I updated A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything in 2020 to make it smaller and converted the color images to black and white to make it less expensive to purchase. The 2020 edition is also available in kindle and audible. Had I been a philosophy major like my brother, Dr. Bill Puett, I would have known the names for various aspects of the Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything, like panpsychism and monadism. I would have been familiar with works such as Huxley's Perennial Philosophy. But I wasn't a philosophy major. I am instead a psychologist with a Ph.D. in Classical Rhetoric. My field of deep study is ancient texts and ideologies, and these are what influenced the development of my theory, not modern philosophers such as Leibniz or Kant. So rather than kludge together other people's ideas, which is the normal way that scholars work, I built the Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything from the ground up using my own observation and logic. And then around 2016, I read a copy of the Nag Hammadi Scriptures. At first I found the ideas shocking. These were the very heresies my conservative Christianity had warned me away from. According to Christians, these beliefs were excluded from our modern versions of the Bible to protect the church from theological misinformation. I discovered that radical repackaging had removed from the New Testament a type of spiritual belief that was well- known to Jesus and his followers. This belief system, commonly called Gnosticism, describes Christianity differently than does our modern Church. Gnosticism makes sense of most of the more mysterious aspects of Christianity, including humanity's role in the great scheme of things, and common questions such as “why is there evil in the world?” Many of these answers to longstanding theological problems were resurrected along with the Nag Hammadi scriptures when they were rediscovered and exhumed from the desert sands in 1945. I learned that the Nag Hammadi scriptures had been buried deep in the Egyptian desert around 350 AD, preserving them from the great Biblical purge conducted by the Council of Nicene at the behest of the Catholic Pope and the Emperor of Rome as they shaped and packaged Christianity to suit their needs. Keep in mind that these ancient teachings have been held back from almost 2000 years of formal study and Christian theology. So what you are about to learn from the Nag Hammadi scriptures is fresh, clean, and unsullied by centuries of scholastic and theological opinions. Over the next couple of years I carefully picked up the Nag Hammadi and I set it back down numerous times, lest I be led astray by false beliefs. Eventually I narrowed my focus to one of the codices in particular that seemed to accord most closely with my understanding of the teachings of Jesus. This book is called The Tripartite Tractate, which simply means the 3-part book. The “3” also refers to the 3-part nature of humanity: spiritual, psychological, and material. I spent time conducting a word study on the Tripartite Tractate, attempting to nail down some very confusing, archaic language. I also made diagrams and illustrations of the ideas presented in the book as I read. Then I put the material away for another year to let it rest and percolate. Finally, in 2019, I wrote and published a small book called The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated, based upon the Tripartite Tractate. The purpose of The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated is to present the gnosis of the Tripartite Tractate as simply and clearly as possible. The format of the Gnostic Gospel book is similar to the Chick cartoon tracts I used to hand out during my Jesus-freak days in the late 1960s. Each concept in the Gnostic Gospel is illustrated by my own original artwork that converts difficult ideas from the Tripartite Tractate into easy-to-understand drawings. With my simple Gnostic Gospel, anyone, of any level of education, can grasp Gnostic theology. Since that time, I have continued to develop the Gnostic theology as presented in the Tripartite Tractate through my Gnostic Insights podcast. I have also had the pleasure of presenting this Gnostic theology as a guest on numerous podcasts hosted by others. The book, A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel, represents the current state of my personal gnosis within the context of a fully developed Gnostic theology. Although The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated presents everything one needs to know to remember the gnosis they were born with, A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel goes beyond The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated to explain, as simply as humanly possible, the why's and wherefores of gnosis. Before we go any further let's answer the question: what is gnosis? We keep talking about gnosis and Gnosticism, but what does this mean? Gnosis simply means knowing. And in the gnostic frame of reference, gnosis refers to remembering the truth of our existence and our origin. Gnostic literature says we come into life holding all of this knowledge within ourselves and we have complete access to the Father, the Son, and the Fullness at any time that we turn our focus upward. It is this direct conduit to the Father that brings us into alignment with our gnosis. Gnosis is a Greek word. Another word related to gnosis is anamnesis. You know that the word amnesia means forgetting. Anamnesis means not forgetting. So the process of coming to gnosis is a process called anamnesis—or remembering. Just to let you know, this book sometimes throws around big words like anamnesis. Not to worry though, because the goal here is to explain these words clearly enough so you will be able to understand them without running to the dictionary. Many people claim that it is impossible to know or describe the full glory of the transcendent, immortal Father due to our own human limitations. After all, how could limited beings such as ourselves possibly imagine the greatness of the originator of the universe, much less our place in the grand design? Wouldn't lesser beings reflect a diminished view of God? Wouldn't these lesser beings be limited to offering a tarnished glory that falls far short of the object of their praise? The Tripartite Tractate, the book of the Nag Hamadi that I use as my primary source material, puts it this way: “If the members of the ALL had risen to give glory according to the individual powers of each, they would have brought forth a glory that was only a semblance of the Father, who himself is the ALL. Thus creation would have been doomed from the outset to never comprehend the full glory of either the Father or itself.” According to the Gnostic Gospel, the Father realized the impossibility of his creation comprehending himself and so the Father built a helpful workaround meant to aid comprehension through selfless union and cooperation with others in a shared task. “For that reason, they were drawn into mutual intermingling, union, and oneness through the singing of praise from their assembled fullness. They were one and, at the same time, many, accurately reflecting the One who himself is the entirety of the ALL out of perfect union with itself and with the Son, and by means of a single shared effort, the ALL gave glory to the eternal one who had brought it forth.” We will learn all about the Father, the Son, and the ALL in the order that Creation itself came from the Father. I like to begin with the cosmos as it unfolded and rolled out. The word for that sort of study is “cosmogony,” which is the study of the origins of the universe. This makes the most sense to me–to start at the very beginning and then to go through the entire process of how everything came to be and who the principle players are and then, after that is established, to see how that applies to our lives. Then we can ask, “Why are we here? Is there a purpose to our lives? How should we live?” After that, we can finally consider the final roll-up of the universe and what happens after we die. All of these questions are answered very precisely in the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi. This knowledge is “gnosis.” Valentinian Gnosticism is a form of Christianity, and I maintain that it is the true form of Christianity that Christianity should be. It is my understanding that this wisdom would have been what Jesus was actually talking about, and that's why the New Testament is consistent with what I have been teaching. When Jesus said, “I and my Father are One,” he was talking about the gnostic God Above All Gods. So you are not wandering into deep heresy by exploring Valentinian Gnosticism. However, if you are a Christian, you should know that there are indeed a couple of major heresies in Gnosticism. One major heresy, and this is a big heresy, is that that the Creator God of this universe that we've been calling Jehovah or Yaweh is not the God Above All Gods. Yes, Jehovah is the creator of the heavens and earth. But his creation only extends to the mineral level. Basically, Jehovah is in charge of all the material in the universe. Jehovah makes our material universe hold its shape and appear solid. So, yes, Jehovah as the Creator God of our material universe is in line with Christianity. But Gnosticism then goes on to say that the creator of this universe is not the Father, but a fallen entity. The Creator God is an Aeon who fell from the Fullness of God. In the Tripartite Tractate the Aeon who fell is named Logos. Another big heresy in gnostic Christianity is the notion that everyone will be redeemed. As our Christian New Testament repeatedly says, redemption is not based upon merit or works. It is not based upon rituals such as baptism and communion . Redemption is based upon the fact that Christ came to Earth and it was the Christ's job to redeem us all, not ours. So it doesn't matter what you think about Christ. It doesn't matter whether you believe in redemption or not, because your beliefs and actions do not limit the ability of Christ to accomplish his mission. I don't see universal redemption as the negative heresy it is made out to be. I actually find it empowers the role of Christ more than our modern church doctrine. It makes Jesus even more important because everyone is redeemed. Everyone who ever was, everyone who lives now, and everyone who will ever be is covered by the redemption of Christ, because it is Christ's job to do that and the Christ accomplished his job. This fact is actually stated throughout the New Testament, although generally misinterpreted. It doesn't matter whether you hold out as an atheist. The thing is, when you do hold out, when you refuse to acknowledge the mission of the Christ, then it's a pretty good indication that you are not in tune with the Father, because the Christ is the emissary of the Father. So if you reject the redemption of the Christ, you are rejecting the Father. If you love the Father, then you will love the Son. And if you love the Son, you will love the Christ. Sounds pretty Christian to me. Valentinian Gnosticism is most assuredly not a New Age religion. The books of the Nag Hammadi were written on sheepskin parchment and buried in a clay jar in the desert for 2000 years, so I don't see how you could call it “New Age.” If Valentinian Gnosticism has tenets in common with other popular belief systems, then those would be truths that they all happen to share. That is, the gnosis they may have in common doesn't imply they are historically related to each other. For example, my book–The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated—comes from the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi. My retelling of the mythos is just good news for modern man. It is not hermetic; it is not a translation of wisdom from an Egyptian God. It is not New Age. This Gnostic Gospel is simply the story of who we are and where we come from. This is the information A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel will explain as thoroughly and as simply as possible. The gnosis I am sharing in this book honors God the Father and, as you begin to remember this inherent truth, you will experience a more joyful life. When we use our free will to remember our true inheritance, the God of this universe loses its power to control us. When we turn our eyes upward to the Father, we are freed from the burdens of this world. Once you begin to remember that you are truly loved by our heavenly Father, you will suffer less. When you begin to walk with virtue rather than embracing vice, you will be happier; you will be joyful. Not all of the time. Bad things do happen. But suffering as a response to life's challenges is unnecessary. We are living in a fallen world, and that, I suppose, is another gnostic heresy. For some reason, modern Christians want to insist that this world is blessed by God and is blessedly perfect. But we all know this world we live in isn't perfect, and when you deny that fact you become unduly frustrated and sad , even to the point of depression. Pharmaceuticals are not the solution; gnosis is. One last thing before we leave this introduction. A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel is not a scholarly, theological tome. Gnosis means knowing. This sort of knowing is not related to book learning. Gnosis refers to remembering what you already know–anamnesis. The point of spiritual study is not to learn new things but to mine what you already possess deep inside of you. When you study new ideas, you must continually weigh the information you are taking in against your own discernment. The purpose of this book is not so much to teach you about Gnosticism; the purpose of this book is to stimulate your own innate gnosis. And there is really only one gnosis that matters in the end, and that is remembering your cosmic origin and the purpose of being alive. Are you familiar with that expression that says, “You can't take it with you”? You can't take it with you usually means that your possessions and your money are worthless to you after you die. People say, “You may as well spend what you have now rather than hoard it, because you can't take it with you,” or, “You should be more generous with your possessions and share them with others, because you can't take it with you.” But aside from money and possessions, another thing you can't take with you is worldly knowledge and book learning. The memes that you pick up here in our material cosmos will not follow you into the afterlife. The only memes that will persist beyond this place and time are those that are compatible with the values of the Pleroma, often referred to as virtues. So you can be a billionaire here in this life, you could be a tech giant and shoot off your own rockets to Mars, you could be President of the United States or the head of a crime syndicate, but you won't have a dime in Heaven. Likewise, you can have three Ivy League degrees but learn nothing of lasting value. Your advanced degrees in religious studies or in physics or archeology are ultimately worthless. The only knowledge of lasting value is the gnosis that transcends this material cosmos. This is the type of knowledge we address in this book: gnosis of the Father and the Son, gnosis of the Pleroma and the Aeons, gnosis of the fall and how to avoid partaking in the fall, gnosis of redemption from the fall, gnosis of the mission of the Christ, and gnosis of the Simple Golden Rule of love and cooperation. More than book learning, what we really need to learn is discernment. Our culture does not promote either critical thinking or discernment. Our culture actually promotes going along to get along. Our culture teaches us to feed our narcissistic egos and denies that we exist beyond our egos. Science officially denies the existence of souls because souls cannot be dissected, weighed, or measured, and science only believes in tangible evidence they can squeeze out of their experiments. You can't tease out a soul in an atom smasher. But here's what I'd like to tell you today: that the academy of scholars don't know much of anything of lasting value. This is because academia only studies “isms” and not gnosis. Academic publications are, for the most part, empty of any sort of gnosis or spiritual discernment. University scholasticism, another ism, scours the writings of other scholars and builds upon officially pre-approved conclusions. This is why the footnotes and the reference sections are so important, because they disclose the limits of the scholar's inquiry. These scholars are not mining the actual source of knowledge. Rather, they are continually adding and stripping wallpaper from the walls of academia and painting over other people's decor in the name of intellectual progress. But it's not progress; it's only an accumulation of essentially useless information. We have no need of knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Knowledge should be used to inform your own gnosis. Knowledge should be weighed by the scales of your own discernment. The purpose of reading, writing, and arithmetic is to aid your own recall of gnosis. The purpose of scholarship, if you want to be a gnostic scholar, is to enhance your practice of gnosis. It is far better to be a gnostic practitioner with little formal education than to be a scholar with little or no gnosis. So go ahead and study, but realize that the study has no value unless it helps you to realize truth, and the only truth you need is Aeonic truth. The vast majority of memes do not lead us to truth. Most memes are forms of delusion, whether you pick them up from worldly culture or soulless universities. Most memes stand between you and your realization of self. In academia, consciousness is largely denied. Some academics go so far as to claim that apparent consciousness is nothing but random nodes in a mathematical abstraction, and that what we think of as ourselves is only packets of information that arise from calculations. Those researchers who are into consciousness studies believe themselves to be at the forefront of uncovering the nature of consciousness through scientific procedure. They are attempting to discover the true nature of consciousness through reductionism and measurements. The consciousness studies articles I have read attempt to reduce consciousness rather than expand it. They believe consciousness can be grasped by going tinier and tinier. That's called scientific reductionism. It reduces the big to the tiny. A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel is the opposite of reductionism. We keep going larger and larger, all the way up to the gigantic, to the immeasurable, to the level of the Aeons, the Pleroma, the Son, the Christ, and the Father. That's the opposite direction of reductionism. It's going large. So hang onto your hats and let's get ready to mine some very big gnosis.

Lo último de Escohotado acaba de ver la luz. Si, ya sé que el maestro murió hace más de tres años, pero algo dejó escrito para que ahora su hijo Jorge lo haya adaptado para su publicación póstuma. Ese algo es la “Filosofía para no filósofos” publicado por la editorial Espasa y que supone la última de las lecciones escohotadianas. No es un libro enteramente nuevo, se trata de una adaptación de textos anteriores como “Filosofía y metodología de las ciencias sociales” publicado hace más de cuarenta años y “Génesis y evolución del análisis científico”, que vio la luz a principios de siglo. En ambos casos se encuentran descatalogados, luego tenemos la oportunidad de acceder a un material de primera calidad que nació en las clases que Escohotado impartía en la UNED. “Filosofía para no filósofos” hace honor al título. Es un texto accesible para un público amplio y cumple con creces la promesa de ofrecer un recorrido por la historia del pensamiento occidental desde los orígenes míticos hasta el siglo XX. En tanto que no deja de ser un manual de filosofía se puede abordar en cualquiera de los 24 capítulos que tiene. Arranca con el pensamiento arcaico y precientífico para luego adentrarse en la filosofía griega desde los presocráticos como Tales, Heráclito o Parménides hasta los grandes sistemas filosóficos de Platón y Aristóteles, a los que Escohotado critica por su excesivo idealismo. Hace hincapié en figuras como Epicuro y Lucrecio como precursores del racionalismo científico, y dedica espacio a la ciencia helenística personificada en Euclides y Arquímedes. Pasa de puntillas por la edad media ya que, a juicio del autor, es una época no especialmente innovadora en materia de pensamiento. El renacimiento y la modernidad, auténticas especialidades de Escohotado, los trata con gran detalle. A lo largo de varios capítulos desfilan los principales pensadores europeos de los siglos XV, XVI, XVII y XVIII: Copérnico, Kepler, Galileo, Bacon, Descartes, Newton, Spinoza (al que admira especialmente), Leibniz, empiristas ingleses como Locke, Berkeley y Hume, la Ilustración francesa e Immanuel Kant, al que dedica un capítulo entero Es un libro claro y totalmente accesible al lector lego en filosofía. Escohotado escribe con su característica elegancia, pero con un lenguaje directo, en ocasiones irónico y salpicado de anécdotas cotidianas. Su mérito principal es el de evitar a propósito la abstrusa jerga de los filósofos que hacen inabordables sus obras. Consigue hacer más o menos comprensibles conceptos realmente complejos como los sistemas filosóficos de Kant o Hegel. A todo le añade su perspectiva personal, determinada, caro está, por sus propias convicciones. Escohotado en vida defendía la libertad individual y el uso de la razón y, al mismo tiempo, criticaba de forma inmisericorde el irracionalismo y el colectivismo. No es, por lo tanto, un manual neutro, un resumen de historia de la filosofía. Cada una de sus páginas está impregnada por el espíritu y la erudición del autor. Una obra, en definitiva, muy valiosa e instructiva. Sirve como manual para aprender filosofía sí, pero también como punto de partida a muchas y muy buenas reflexiones sobre el mundo y la naturaleza humana. Hoy vamos a hablar de “Filosofía para no filósofos” en La ContraPortada.

Changelings aren't the only ones who step outside the fleshly realm from time to time. Human magi have also been known to wander the farther spaces, and it's not unreasonable that a fae might encounter one of these upstart travelers. Mage: the Ascension's 2nd edition supplement Book of Worlds provides an in-depth treatment of how these willworkers perceive and navigate the Otherworlds. The text mainly deals with the Umbrae, but also contains the first detailed description of the Dreaming—or "Maya", to use their term. (It was early 1996, so very little had even been written for Changeling: the Dreaming at that point.) In this episode, Josh and Pooka pull some highlights from the book that are most relevant to CtD players, from the dreamscapes of Hollywood to mysterious spirit-muses, a smattering of those corners of the Dreaming mages have thus far explored, a space that is indeed vast... but what percentage of infinity is that?

Forget everything you think you know about Nikola Tesla. The podcast episode delving into "Tesla_Secrets_Energy_Frequency_and_Vibration" isn't a biography of the inventor; it's a mind-bending expedition into the core of his cosmological philosophy. Moving far beyond the AC current and the Tesla coil, this episode meticulously dissects his famous axiom—"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration"—and explores its staggering implications for our understanding of reality itself.The hosts masterfully guide us through Tesla's radical worldview, where matter is a mere condensation of a primordial, vibrating energy he called "light." This sets the stage for a fascinating examination of his so-called "Laws of Creation," a complex framework that, as the podcast reveals with scholarly honesty, likely originated from a modern Serbian play rather than a lost 1899 interview. This critical lens doesn't dismiss the ideas but instead reframes them as a powerful synthesis of Tesla's known eccentric beliefs.Where the episode truly excels is in connecting this philosophical foundation to Tesla's terrifyingly practical engineering. The discussion of his belief in the Earth's resonant frequency and his theoretical ability to trigger earthquakes is a chilling, real-world validation of his core principle: find the frequency, and you can leverage a system's own immense, stored power.This leads to the podcast's most compelling segment: a paradigm-shifting theory on the source of genius itself. If the universe is fundamentally vibrational, then the brain may not be a generator of thought but a receiver. The hosts explore the "Akashic field" concept, suggesting knowledge is non-local and constantly broadcasting. This provides a stunningly elegant explanation for simultaneous discoveries—like Newton and Leibniz both conceiving calculus—and the common experience of creators who feel they are "channeling" their work.The evidence presented, from sudden savant syndrome to brain scan studies of mediums, builds a convincing case for this "receiver" model. The conversation seamlessly weaves in modern theoretical physics, including quantum holography, proposing that our brains render a holographic reality from a universal information field. This naturally culminates in a profound discussion on consciousness, the pineal gland's role, and a scientifically-grounded theory for the survival of consciousness after death.The episode concludes by linking Tesla's entire philosophy to his ultimate, failed dream: Wardenclyffe Tower and free energy for all. It wasn't about beaming power, but about resonantly injecting it into the Earth itself, turning the planet into a giant conductor. The tragic end of this project, sabotaged by an economic model that had no answer for J.P. Morgan's infamous question, "Where do I put the meter?", serves as a poignant finale.This is more than a history lesson; it's a call to action. It argues that if we live in a conscious, vibrational universe, our role is to actively participate by tuning in and creating. The final takeaway is empowering: we are not entitled to the fruits of creation, but to the labor itself—the act of synchronizing with the universe's deepest rhythms and helping to dream its next iteration. A truly brilliant and synthesizing listen. #tesla #ufo #uap #energy #invention #coverup Grant Cameron Websitewww.presidentialufo.com

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Matt Herrero, Joel Chapman, Weston Gaylord, Ken Savage, and Jessia Hoffman about their musical GRAVITY: A Newtonian Musical. When physics prodigy Sophie is accidentally catapulted back in time, her meet-cute with 23 year-old Isaac Newton prevents him from discovering gravity—trapping Sophie in 1666. To return home, Sophie must restore history and navigate the Enlightenment, where Natural Philosophers are the pop stars of their day. Along the way, she encounters historical luminaries such as up-and-comer Edmond Halley, Isaac's rival Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, and the unknown author Margaret Cavendish, who is embroiled in her own quest for fame and scientific recognition. GRAVITY is a hilarious romantic comedy, smashing together madcap time travel mayhem and delightfully remixed history. This episode features the songs, “Let Us Enlighten You”, performed by Marcus Jamal Paige, Dave Abrams, Nathaniel Rothrock, and Weston Gaylord, as well as “In My Own Time” performed by Taylor Iman Jones and Matt Herrero.

Calculus Reordered: A History of the Big Ideas (Princeton UP, 2019) takes readers on a remarkable journey through hundreds of years to tell the story of how calculus evolved into the subject we know today. David Bressoud explains why calculus is credited to seventeenth-century figures Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, and how its current structure is based on developments that arose in the nineteenth century. Bressoud argues that a pedagogy informed by the historical development of calculus represents a sounder way for students to learn this fascinating area of mathematics. Delving into calculus's birth in the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean—particularly in Syracuse, Sicily and Alexandria, Egypt—as well as India and the Islamic Middle East, Bressoud considers how calculus developed in response to essential questions emerging from engineering and astronomy. He looks at how Newton and Leibniz built their work on a flurry of activity that occurred throughout Europe, and how Italian philosophers such as Galileo Galilei played a particularly important role. In describing calculus's evolution, Bressoud reveals problems with the standard ordering of its curriculum: limits, differentiation, integration, and series. He contends that the historical order—integration as accumulation, then differentiation as ratios of change, series as sequences of partial sums, and finally limits as they arise from the algebra of inequalities—makes more sense in the classroom environment. Exploring the motivations behind calculus's discovery, Calculus Reordered highlights how this essential tool of mathematics came to be. David M. Bressoud is DeWitt Wallace Professor of Mathematics at Macalester College and Director of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. His many books include Second Year Calculus and A Radical Approach to Lebesgue's Theory of Integration. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

This continuation of the Makers of the Modern World series covers the birth of rationalism in Germany, which eventually led to the marginalization of Lutheran orthodoxy in the academy.
Episode 2.48Is the very idea of God enough to prove that God exists?In this episode, Zach and Michael unpack one of the most famous—and most misunderstood—arguments in philosophy: the Ontological Argument. From Anselm's “that than which nothing greater can be conceived,” to Descartes, Leibniz, Kant, and Alvin Plantinga's modern modal version, they trace how the debate evolved over nearly a thousand years.Covered in this episode:– Why some concepts logically entail others (valley–mountain, shadow–light)– Anselm's original argument and the “greatest conceivable being”– Kant's critique that “existence is not a predicate”– Plantinga's modal argument: if God is possible, God is actual– Atheist counterarguments and why they must deny God's possibility itself– Modern developments from Pruss & RasmussenThe Ontological Argument remains as bold as ever—an exercise in pure reason that asks whether logic itself points to God.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/IXCAEns1uKwMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Paolo Mazzarello"Malaria"Il Nobel negato: Storia di Battista GrassiNeri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itDall'autore di "Storia avventurosa della medicina", la ricostruzione di una grande scoperta e della congiura scientifica che negò a Battista Grassi il premio Nobel. Intrighi, colpi bassi, spionaggio di laboratorio: un thriller scientifico ricostruito su documenti inediti, a un secolo dai fatti.Nel 1902 il premio Nobel per la Medicina venne assegnato al medico britannico Ronald Ross «per il suo lavoro sulla malaria». Ma, sulla sola base dei suoi studi, nessuna profilassi contro la malattia sarebbe stata realizzabile. Il riconoscimento escludeva Battista Grassi, il medico lombardo che aveva identificato la zanzara del genere Anopheles responsabile del contagio, descrivendo lo sviluppo del parassita nell'insetto e la sua trasmissione all'uomo. Grazie alle proprie ricerche, lo studioso italiano fu il primo a organizzare una profilassi antimalarica scientificamente fondata. Per quale ragione Grassi venne escluso dal Nobel che avrebbe dovuto condividere con Ross? Basandosi sugli studi storici più recenti e sulla documentazione esistente, Malaria racconta l'incredibile congiura ordita contro Grassi, guidata dallo stesso Ross e dal grande microbiologo tedesco Robert Koch, della quale fecero inconsapevolmente parte alcuni colleghi italiani. Proprio nelle cruciali settimane in cui si sarebbe decisa l'assegnazione del premio, infatti, non lo appoggiarono o addirittura lo accusarono di plagio. Alla base dell'accanimento dei colleghi vi furono diverse ragioni, non ultimo il carattere irruento del medico, che gli creò nemici potenti. Come in un thriller scientifico, fra colpi bassi, spie di laboratorio e pericolosi esperimenti, questo libro descrive la vita singolare e straordinaria di Giovanni Battista Grassi a cento anni dalla scomparsa, un genio naturalista allo stato puro, premiato nel 1896 con la Darwin Medal della Royal Society di Londra, il massimo riconoscimento dell'epoca per chi si fosse distinto negli studi biologici. Ma al quale, per una congiura scientifica, venne negato il Nobel.Paolo Mazzarello è professore ordinario di Storia della Medicina all'Università di Pavia e direttore dei musei scientifici pavesi. Tra i suoi libri: Il genio e l'alienista. La strana visita di Lombroso a Tolstoj, 2005; Il Nobel dimenticato. La vita e la scienza di Camillo Golgi, 2006; Il professore e la cantante. La grande storia d'amore di Alessandro Volta, 2009; E si salvò anche la madre. L'evento che rivoluzionò il parto cesareo, 2015; L'elefante di Napoleone.

In philosophy of mind, panpsychism is the view that the mind or a mind-like aspect is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality. It is also described as a theory that "the mind is a fundamental feature of the world which exists throughout the universe". It is one of the oldest philosophical theories, and has been ascribed in some form to philosophers including Thales, Plato, Spinoza, Leibniz, Schopenhauer, William James, Alfred North Whitehead, and Bertrand Russell. In the 19th century, panpsychism was the default philosophy of mind in Western thought, but it saw a decline in the mid-20th century with the rise of logical positivism. Recent interest in the hard problem of consciousness and developments in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and quantum mechanics have revived interest in panpsychism in the 21st century because it addresses the hard problem directly.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.
Episode: 1375 Leibniz, Newton, and the great calculus dispute. Today, we throw Leibniz's cat into the super collider.
What if quantum mechanics is not fundamental? What if time itself is an illusion? In this new episode, physicist Julian Barbour returns to share his most radical ideas yet. He proposes that the universe is built purely from ratios, that time is not fundamental, and that quantum mechanics might be replaced entirely without the need for wave functions or Planck's constant.
