Podcasts about making sense

Chaos dalam perspektif sains modern, sebagaimana diuraikan oleh J. Doyne Farmer dalam Making Sense of Chaos, bukanlah sekadar kekacauan tanpa arah, melainkan manifestasi dari sistem kompleks yang memiliki sensitivitas tinggi terhadap kondisi awal atau yang dikenal sebagai "efek kupu-kupu". Berbeda dengan teori ekonomi konvensional yang sering kali terpaku pada pencapaian titik keseimbangan atau equilibrium statis, realitas dunia saat ini lebih menyerupai organisme hidup yang dinamis dan non-linear. Dalam sistem seperti ini, perubahan kecil di satu sudut dapat memicu gelombang besar di tempat lain, menjadikan prediksi jangka panjang yang kaku menjadi tidak relevan. Melalui pendekatan Agent-Based Modeling (ABM), Farmer mengajak kita melihat ekonomi dan organisasi sebagai kumpulan interaksi antar-agen individu yang membentuk pola-pola besar yang tak terduga. Pendekatan ini menggeser fokus dari sekadar hasil akhir menuju pemahaman tentang struktur interaksi dan perilaku agen di dalamnya. Dengan menyadari bahwa krisis atau fluktuasi pasar adalah bagian alami dari sistem yang kompleks, kita diajak untuk tidak lagi memandang gangguan sebagai kerusakan sistem, melainkan sebagai proses penataan ulang yang konstan dalam sebuah ekosistem yang luas. Dalam konteks kepemimpinan, pemahaman terhadap teori chaos menuntut pergeseran paradigma dari kontrol ketat menuju adaptabilitas dan resiliensi. Seorang pemimpin masa kini tidak lagi bertindak sebagai "operator mesin" yang bisa mengatur segala variabel secara presisi, melainkan sebagai "penjaga ekosistem" yang fokus pada kesehatan interaksi di bawahnya. Kepemimpinan di tengah chaos memerlukan kerendahan hati untuk mengakui keterbatasan prediksi, sekaligus keberanian untuk membangun organisasi yang tangguh dan mampu "menari" di tengah badai ketidakpastian agar tetap relevan dan inovatif.

What happens when you're the only one trying in your marriage? When your partner seems indifferent, and you're the one praying, planning, reading, learning, bending, sacrificing only to be met with silence or worse, resistance?In this episode, Natalie peels back the layers of emotional and spiritual exhaustion that come from being the only emotionally invested person in a relationship. With grace, clarity, and a no-nonsense look at reality, she answers a powerful listener question: “If I'm the only one caring, what's the point of staying?”

Was the Virgin Birth copied from pagan myths? Did Matthew misquote Isaiah's prophecy? In this video, we show you how to respond to key challenges like these which are often heard around Christmas time.

Darrell Bock and Gordon Johnston as I share a few of my memorable conversations about these issues from my time in grad school hosting The Table podcast.

Economic data, market trends, and retirement planning topics are often discussed without sufficient historical context. In this episode of the Money Matters Podcast, Wes Moss and Jeff Lloyd present an educational discussion that places recent economic releases and market observations within a long-term analytical framework. • Review the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) release by situating current inflation readings within more than 80 years of historical inflation data. • Examine the historical development of the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target by comparing it with observed inflation outcomes across multiple economic periods. • Discuss how recent government shutdowns delayed scheduled economic data releases and why temporary reporting gaps can affect short-term market narratives. • Explain commonly referenced employment metrics by outlining the differences between the household survey and the establishment survey used in labor market reporting. • Evaluate the employment-to-population ratio (EPOP), including prime working-age participation, as a frequently cited measure of labor market conditions. • Illustrate how year-over-year and multi-year inflation rates can demonstrate the compounding effect of price changes on purchasing power over time. • Compare historical inflation trends with long-term S&P 500 dividend growth to provide context on income-oriented equity characteristics. • Revisit balanced 60/40 portfolio performance in historical discussions to reinforce diversification as a commonly referenced investment framework. • Place the current bull market within a broader historical context by reviewing average cycle durations and the range of outcomes observed over time. • Observe market behavior following spring volatility, including changes in sector participation within the S&P 500. • Highlight ongoing public discussion around artificial intelligence and its potential role in productivity and efficiency across multiple economic sectors. • Review publicly reported fiscal stimulus expectations, including projected changes to tax refunds in 2026 and their possible macroeconomic implications. • Consider housing and real estate themes for the coming year by outlining economic and demographic factors commonly associated with market activity. • Summarize research-based observations on retiree well-being, including written planning approaches, engagement in meaningful activities, and social connection. For listeners seeking discussion about inflation, employment data, market history, and retirement planning concepts, this episode provides structured context grounded in long-term observations.

"Making Sense of the Quantum Revolution"

Sam Harris speaks with Ross Douthat about religion, modernity, and what can steady a culture that feels increasingly unmoored. They discuss the case for faith in an age of digital disembodiment, declining birthrates, and looming AI-driven upheaval. They also debate tribalism and dogmatism, whether secular societies can generate durable moral consensus, the foundations of ethics, consciousness and well-being, mathematics as a clue to ultimate reality, and, briefly, demonology.

What're you looking at, son? You wanna go? Well, it seems like Gavin Adcock can't get enough of the fightin' side of country music, and the media (The Dads included) can't get enough of his bologna. This week, we dive into the beefs, why country music seems to foster this kind of violent rhetoric, what dads should do about it and how the media landscape makes it all worse.While you're listening, please take two minutes to fill out our listener survey! What do YOU want to hear about country music and modern fatherhood in Season 3? Survey will be live until January 31, 2026.https://countrymusicdads.com/feedback/Show Notes:00:58 - Who is Gavin Adcock and why is country music (and its tabloids) so obsessed with him? The Dads get into his origin story, his approach and why he's the perfect foil. He's either a marketing genius or an idiot savant.6:21 - Donnie outlines why he doesn't like him, but Dave jumps in to say he totally gets his appeal, that vibe and that stupidity. There is something to be said about acting a fool. But it needs to be safe for everyone involved.10:31 - Beefs, it's what's for dinner. The Dads outline the wild number of beefs that Adcock either instigated or accelerated. Up first, we talk about Braxton Keith and Adcock.13:28 - Next, we cover the swing Adcock took at Beyoncé. His take was loaded and unneeded.16:53 - Now we get to the good stuff: Zach Bryan vs Adcock. They came into it with the same energy, and this one is wonderfully messy. They both looked like fools because neither chose to de-escalate.21:10 - On to Charley Crockett and his master class in narrative control. Adcock put himself back into the conversation, ego and all. And boy did he miss. The allegations of “Cosplay Cowboy” against Crockett fall so flat. All stage performers put on an act -- including Adcock.27:46 - The fight and beef drives streaming revenues, but it's not going to establish Adcock for the long term.29:16 - Benjamin Tod, the $75 a night beef and the outlaw version of puka shells.34:14 - How do these beefs stand up to the history of country music beefs? They are similar, but the social media system exacerbates the situation.36:10 - What role do violence and male bravado play in country music -- it's all about the storytelling. From Johnny Cash to Jason Aldean, country uses violence to tell a story and foster the image of power and control. And this music provides an escape. Understanding the line between violence as an escape vs a solution is critical.45:19 - How do dads help their kids deal with this kind of trash talk or bullying? Be a better person: don't let yourself be hurt, and find a better way to fix the problems that will always arise. And this isn't just about dumb beefs or little kids. This is about how society solves its problems.54:29 - Dad Life Sound Check for meeting the bully in the parking lot.Thank you for listening.

One of 2025's most memorable images was of Silicon Valley's billionaire CEOs lined up in the front rows at President Donald Trump's inauguration. It was visual proof of the tech industry's embrace of MAGA's authoritarian-style of politics — one it has benefited from considerably over the last year. Author and neuroscientist Sam Harris has been using his podcast, “Making Sense,” to talk about the ways tech moguls are corroding our politics, and although he used to be close with some of them, he's become a vocal critic of their support for Trump. Kara and Sam talk about why he thinks the left is to blame for the tech billionaires' shift to the right, why all of us are bad at sorting through the glut of information we find online, and the potential risks that come with the Trump administration's hands-off approach to A.I. They also talk about what possible tech regulation could look like, and whether everyday people stand a chance against tech oligarchs and their platforms.  (Please note: This interview was recorded before President Trump signed an executive order to block states from passing A.I. regulation.)

Have you ever been told that saying "no" makes you selfish? That good Christian women never rock the boat, always serve with a smile, and definitely do not have thoughts of their own?This episode is Part 2 of our Emotional Abuse 101 series, and today we're diving into the art of saying no.If the idea of saying no makes your stomach flip or sends you into a guilt spiral, this episode is your lifeline. I'll walk you through WHY it's so hard to say no and HOW to start saying it anyway with confidence and without apology.Key Takeaways:Saying no without guilt is an adult skill, not a rebellious sin. People-pleasing is often a trauma response. Your nervous system isn't broken. It's just been doing its job a little too well.You don't need permission to have boundaries. You're not waiting for anyone's approval. Boundaries ≠ controlling others. Boundaries = choosing how YOU respond when others misbehave.There's neuroscience behind this. Your brain can be rewired to feel safe even when saying no. Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereGet a FREE chapter of Is It ME?

Policy just moved the goalposts on graduate borrowing. We invited Jill Desjean, Director of Policy Analysis at NASFAA, to break down the new federal definition of “professional degree,” why it leans on a legacy program list, and what that means for loan limits, affordability, and access to care.We walk through the exact criteria the Department of Education is using, how Congress pointed the rulemaking toward classifications like medicine and dentistry, and why allied health fields with licensure and clinical preparation can still be left out. From there, we connect the dots: lower federal loan caps could push more students toward private loans, weaken access to income-driven repayment, and complicate eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Jill brings a clear, practical lens to advocacy—what makes a persuasive public comment, how to work with professional associations, and why stories from clinics, schools, and hospitals matter as much as data. We also surface concrete risks like mid-program financing gaps and discuss ways policymakers could align financing with workforce needs, from updating eligible program lists to safeguarding completion for students in shortage fields. About NASFAA The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) is the only national, nonprofit association with a primary focus on information dissemination, professional development, and legislative and regulatory analysis related to federal student aid programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Their membership consists of more than 29,000 financial aid professionals at nearly 3,000 colleges, universities, and career schools across the country. NASFAA member institutions serve nine out of every 10 undergraduates in the United States.Positions and Advocacy EffortsAs a nonpartisan organization, NASFAA works closely with lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle. Their advocacy efforts are guided by 10 core principles that reflect our belief that the purpose of student financial aid is to ensure everyone has equal access to postsecondary education. Most often, NASFAA advocates in two separate arenas: in the context of reauthorization of the Higher Education Act and in the budget and appropriations process.

Hello my beautiful friends, In today's episode, we're opening up a part of intuitive living that rarely gets talked about....the emotional aftermath that shows up long after you've followed an intuitive pull. This conversation is part of our December series on intuition and nervous system regulation, and today we're looking at what happens when your intuition was right, but your body wasn't fully resourced to support the way you acted on it. I'm sharing the patterns that tend to show up months or years after a big intuitive decision — the replaying, the delayed emotions, and the moments where you look back and wish you had handled the transition with more capacity or care. We're breaking down what this delayed processing actually means, why your system does this once you're safe enough to look back, and how to understand the parts of your story you couldn't hold at the time. If you desire deeper support on these topics, please email me and I will get back to you within 2 business days. You can find my email below in the show notes

Please join us for “How to Assess the Hidden Meaning Behind Behaviors” with Staci Neustadt and Susan Golubock.Staci Neustadt, CEO of Making Sense of Autism®, is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with over 20 years of experience providing individual and group therapy, training, mentorship, and leadership. In 2019, Staci joined Susan in developing the Neuro Strengths Based Support for Autism framework. Staci is passionate about creating a paradigm shift for therapists to holistically support autistic clients and for autistic clients to feel seen and heard as they build on their strengths and contribute their gifts to their community.Susan Golubock is a retired occupational therapist. She received her Masters degree in Occupational Therapy from Western Michigan University in 1968 and Masters of Education degree in special education technology in 1995. She was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum in 1999. Most of her career has been spent in school-based practice. Susan has been a keynote speaker and presenter at various conferences. Susan developed the Neuro-Strengths Based Support for Autism Framework, which comes from her personal experience as an autistic individual and professional experience as an occupational therapist who worked with autistic clients. She grew up trying to “be like everyone else;” she succeeded in masking but at the cost of never developing a sense of “self,” which led to symptoms of post-traumatic stress. When she was finally diagnosed in my early 50s, I learned that there were other options for how to think and behave, which radically changed my life for the better. Susan's passion is to educate parents and professionals so the autistic individuals in their lives are understood.Support the show

Listen, we all have a lot of information coming at us and limited time to process it. Most days it feels like the world is set up to keep you confused, reactive, and chasing your tail. Between research, social media, “thought leaders,” news, and whatever's happening at work and home, it's easy to either shut down or grab at the loudest voice in the room.   This episode is about pushing back on that. I walk through a clear framework you can use to make better sense of the information you already have, so you can stay centered, make sharper decisions, and avoid getting bogged down by bullshit. It's less about hoarding more content and more about training how you think, what you pay attention to, and how you use what you learn.   In this episode, we get into: •How to decide what “job” a piece of information is supposed to do for you before you give it your attention •A simple relevance filter to separate what matters right now from what can wait—or be ignored •How to look at the source and the incentives behind the message so you're less likely to get played •A quick way to separate facts, interpretations, and emotions so you don't get swept up in spin •Turning something you read or hear into a clean, practical takeaway you can actually use •Getting comfortable with “I don't know yet” instead of grabbing the first confident-sounding answer •Testing new ideas through small actions instead of endless debate or overthinking   If you want to go deeper and apply this in your own life and work: •Main site and resources: www.artofcoaching.com •Upcoming live events and seminars: www.artofcoaching.com/events •One-to-one mentoring and support: www.artofcoaching.com/mentoring   Follow Us: Website: ArtofCoaching.com Instagram: @coach_brettb X: @coach_brettb

This Sunday, Pastor Sam Gibson concluded our series on Making Sense of Church with a teaching on the Body of Christ, from 1 Corinthians 12. The Body is filled with people who are baptized by the same Holy Spirit, no matter our gender, culture, race, or any other identifiers, but we all play a part in either defiling or restoring the Body. The Spirit's primary role is to reveal Jesus and align us under His headship, and it is by this same Spirit that we are refreshed and renewed, freed and transformed, and made each day to look even more like Christ.

If someone were to say to you, “Jesus never said he was God,” how would you respond? Today on Chris Fabry Live, we're having a bedrock conversation about the divinity of Jesus.

Ever wonder why you keep getting stuck in the same soul-sucking relational merry-go-round and can't get off? Why you feel like you're starring in a never-ending soap opera you didn't audition for, but somehow you're the villain for wanting out?I sat down with Gwendoline, a longtime member of Flying Free and Flying Higher, to talk about her epic butterfly transformation. We're talking cycles of chaos, religious gaslighting, and the sneaky little acronym that kept her trapped in marital misery: FOG (fear, obligation, guilt).Key Takeaways:If it feels off, it probably is – Chaos, fights, and emotional whiplash aren't just "normal marriage stuff." They're red flags.Your body knows before your brain does – Tight hips, tension, and dread? Not random. That's trauma.Love isn't a magical fix-all – You can love someone and still need to leave them. Track the truth – Emoji mood calendars and journaling helped Gwendoline see the pattern she was gaslit into ignoring.You are the rescuer – No knight in shining armor is coming. Just you, your big-girl panties, and God on a divine co-rescue mission.Leaving is hard, but worth it – Healing takes time, but the moment you step out, your real life begins.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereGet a FREE chapter of Is It ME?

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our series Making Sense of Church with a teaching from Ephesians 2:14–18, focusing on Paul's vision of the Church as the "the new humanity." In a society marked by polarization, contempt, and hostility, Pastor Jon reminded us that Jesus Himself is our peace—the One who tears down dividing walls and creates a radically new kind of community. In Adam, the "old humanity" is marked by blame, fear, hiding, violence, and retaliation, but in Christ, we are brought into a kainos humanity—new in kind, not just in time. Through the cross, Jesus forms a people defined by grace, love, and unity.
