This lecture is entitled An Inquiry into the Value of Work: A Discussion of Matt Crawford's Shop Class as Soulcraft.

At the 2024 New Polity conference, Matthew B. Crawford gave the keynote address in which he contrasted the view of man inherent in technocratic rationalism with that of a Christian view. Drawing from the work of Joseph Ratzinger and Michael Oakeshott, Crawford draws a distinction between an orientation toward receiving life as gift and cramped rationalism that views man as an object to be synthetically remade. The current push for technocratic control over every sphere of life collapses the vertical order of reality and aims to eliminate contingency, risk, and play. In contrast, one who affirms the inherent goodness of being is able to experience a real vitality of life in a meaningful world. Registration is open for the 2025 New Polity conference!

From YouTube to anime to technology, the spiritual is increasingly breaking into our world. While this may seem like a good thing, it's a mixed bag. The unseen realm is filled with both good and evil, and the forces of darkness often present themselves as angels of light. Believers are ill-equipped to navigate this world as long as they engage it with more fascination than maturity in Christ. In Part 2 of the series, John, Blaine, and Allen discuss how to see what's really going on, get free from spiritual oppression, and embrace what God's up to in these unprecedented times.Show Notes: Read Chapter 9 (Lions, Cobras, Snakes) of Experience Jesus.

This week on Givers, Doers, & Thinkers, Jeremy sits down with Matthew Crawford about the rise of the Humanitarian Party and what it means for civil society and self-governance.Matthew Crawford is the author of Why We Drive: Toward a Philosophy of the Open Road, The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction, and the New York Times best seller Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work. He has also written several highly penetrating essays and articles, including "The Workings of the Party-State," published last year in American Affairs.Is sovereignty slipping away from traditional government structures? Matthew shares how power has shifted to a coalition of corporations, foundations, media, universities, and NGOs. Jeremy and Matthew dissect the implications of this shift, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where expert authority often bypassed democratic channels, steering public opinion and political power like never before. They also discuss the victimhood mentality and how figures like Trump have redefined victimhood, and the unsettling role of technology, such as driverless cars, is perpetuating these dynamics. We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, questions, and recommendations for the podcast!

Did you know that NASA has patented inventions ready for you to license and commercialize? On this episode of the podcast, I am talking with Dan Lockney. I'm excited about this episode because Dan and I talk about a fantastic program from NASA for technology companies. Dan is the Technology Transfer Program Executive at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.  He is responsible for managing NASA's intellectual property and the transfer of NASA technology to promote the commercialization and public availability of NASA's patented inventions. Dan and I discuss how NASA's Technology Transfer Program operates and the types of companies that can license the technology.  Here's a small spoiler:  any size of company can license the technology – from startups to large corporations.  And, you will be surprised at the cost of the license! Dan shares information about the motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program.  He also discusses some of his favorite inventions that have been successfully commercialized. Why is this program exciting to me?  As you may know, as a Patent Strategist I work with tech companies every day regarding patents and inventions.  This Technology Transfer Program is a great opportunity to license patented NASA technology to launch a business or a new product. I encourage you to listen to this episode and see if the Technology Transfer Program is a good option for your business. “Most of the technology in the Technology Transfer Program is outside of the aerospace area. Example technologies include medical devices, public transportation, consumer goods, and safety equipment.” – Daniel Lockney Today on the Tech Leader Talk podcast: - How does the NASA Technology Transfer Program work - Program success stories - The motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program - Types of technologies contained in the patented inventions - How a team of NASA engineers designed a new low-cost ventilator in response to the Covid outbreak   Resources: Spinoff publication:  https://spinoff.nasa.gov/ NASA Technology Transfer Program:  https://technology.nasa.gov/ NASA Spinoff temperature-regulating mugs:  https://burnoutmugs.com/ Book:  Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford - https://www.amazon.com/Shop-Class-Soulcraft-Inquiry-Value/dp/0143117467   Connect with Daniel Lockney: LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-lockney-bb5316a8/ Website:  https://technology.nasa.gov/network Thanks for listening!

They explore the transformation of science from a small-scale, individual pursuit to a large-scale, corporate enterprise. They highlight the politicization of science and the influence of external entities on scientific research. The conversation also delves into the replication crisis in science and the need for reform. They propose alternative models, such as a review culture, to encourage independent thinking and foster a healthier scientific community. Jay Bhattacharya discusses the productivity of science, the centralization of science and politics, and the potential for decentralization as a solution. He highlights the challenge of attention and pre-selection in scientific research and the markers of quality in science.

The message was delivered on Sunday, October 29, 2023, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION In the book: “Breaking Bread with the Dead” Alan Jacobs is concerned about children watching only stuff that is marketed to and for them, that is “fired like an arrow to their amygdala.” Stuff that was manufactured for their immediate effortless consumption. Rather than pushing them out of their comfort zone, experiencing some ambiguity and thematic density. He also writes about the importance for all of us of engaging the ideas, art and music of people from previous generations as a way of living with less anxiety in the present. One of the major ways that attending All Souls adds value to our lives is by regularly introducing us to ideas and music from the past in ways that improve our lives in the present. This Sunday we will recognize 71 new members who have joined All Souls over the last few months. The following quote from Jacobs' book introduces my theme for Sunday and one of the reasons so many people are drawn to All Souls in these times. "…information overload—a sense that we are always receiving more sheer data than we know how to evaluate—and a more general feeling of social acceleration—the perception that the world is not only changing but changing faster and faster. What those closely related experiences tend to require from us is a rough-and-ready kind of informational triage." Triage—it's a French word meaning to separate and sort—is what nurses and doctors on the battlefield do: during and after a battle, as wounded soldiers flow in, the limited resources of a medical unit are sorely tested. The medical staff must learn to make instantaneous judgments: this person needs treatment now, that one can wait a little while, a third one will have to wait longer, preferably somewhere other than the medical tent. To the wounded soldiers, this system will often seem peremptory and harsh, uncompassionate, and perhaps even cruel; but it's absolutely necessary for the nurses and doctors to be ruthlessly brisk. They cannot afford for one soldier to die while they're comforting one whose injuries don't threaten his life. Navigating daily life in the internet age is a lot like doing battlefield triage. Given that what cultural critic Matthew Crawford calls the “attentional commons” is constantly noisy—there are days we can't even put gas in our cars without being assaulted by advertisements blared at ear-rattling volume—we also learn to be ruthless in deciding how to deploy our attention. We only have so much of it, and often the decision of whether or not to “pay” it must be made in an instant. To avoid madness we must learn to reject appeals to our time, and reject them without hesitation or pity.

Pixar's Wall-E has proven to be among the most profound and prophetic films of the last 20 years. After hopelessly polluting the Earth and leaving an army of robots to clean up the planet, humans now live aboard a giant ship built by a company that promises to take care of all its passengers' needs. Thus, humans are left with nothing to do but amuse themselves and eat a lot.   Many Christians wrote off the Pixar classic because of its hyper-environmentalist message. However, the film's commentary on human exceptionalism and vocation, specifically the inability of our machines to do our most important work for us, was spot-on. In the world of Wall-E, human beings have a purpose, or a telos that cannot be reduced to maximizing comfort, safety, and convenience.   In the biblical account of reality, humans exist to glorify and love God, and to serve as His special representatives and co-rulers in creation. Human inventions should help towards achieving those ends, extending our abilities, and mitigating the effects of the Fall. Wanting to replace ourselves with our devices assumes that humanity is the central problem of the world that needs to be solved.  Recently in First Things, Matthew Crawford argued that an anti-human worldview like the one parodied in Wall-E now dominates our tech and governing classes. Those who are behind everything from smartphone apps to pandemic policy share a basic belief that human beings are inferior to machines. We are, as he puts it, “stupid,” “obsolete,” “fragile,” and “hateful.”   Crawford opens his essay with an example of a driverless car created by Google that froze at a four-way stop. Apparently, the drivers around the car didn't behave as it had been programmed to expect. However, rather than admit the limits of the car's “artificial intelligence,” one Google engineer remarked that what he'd learned from the incident is that humans need to be “less idiotic.” The premise is that humans are not the crown of creation but problems to be solved.   Of course, it is quite possible that, once they've worked out all the bugs, driverless cars will lead to less accidents and road deaths. However, one of the bugs to be worked out are the programmers who hate humans, which makes the point of this essay ring true. So much of our high-tech culture, from the social media algorithms that tell us what we want to the transhumanist fantasies about uploading our consciousness to computers, assumes that humanity is an obstacle to be overcome.  Much of our public life also assumes the basic idiocy and inadequacy of humans: take health officials more concerned with controlling people than limiting the spread of a virus or legislation quashing parental rights in order to “affirm” gender-confused minors.   C.S. Lewis saw this impulse decades ago and recognized how it would grant growing power to certain people over and above others. In his masterpiece The Abolition of Man, Lewis warned of those he called “conditioners,” who considered themselves above such common human frailties. Of course, as Lewis pointed out, the conditioners are also human, but in denial that they too are vulnerable to the same frailties as everyone else. Their danger lies in the fact that they are oblivious about their frailties, especially their moral frailties.   It is good that humans have bodies that limit us to one location and the need for food, sleep, and friendship. These limits are part of our design. Because we are designed, we must be guided by values and not merely algorithms. It is good that we take time to learn, to appreciate beauty, to feel wonder, and to have burning questions about what is behind all that we see. God made us this way, so that, eventually, our seeking would lead back to Him. Though He intends to redeem us from the ravages of sin, He never intends to optimize us into efficient machines. Apparently, He considers being human as something “good,” even “very good.” So much so, in fact, He took on flesh Himself.   Wall-E got it (mostly) right. Technology is good but needs a telos—a purpose for existing. That purpose cannot be to replace, transcend, or circumvent God's good design for human beings.   In short, technology and public policy should be human-shaped, not the other way around.   This Breakpoint was co-authored by Shane Morris.

Transcript: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/dispatchesendofworld/2023/09/the-thickness-of-the-world/  In the book Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis there is a scene where the King is arguing with a priest about what seems to be an unreasonable demand from one of the gods. The priest says something profound, something I'm still trying to wrap my head around. This episode is an effort to do just that.

In our latest podcast, Advanced Sommeliers Matthew Crawford and Cara De Lavallade discuss blind tasting with host and Master Sommelier Christopher Tanghe.

Welcome to the problematic realm of perspective framing. Ryder Richards will be your dubious guide through this profound exploration of self-awareness and understanding. Central to our journey is the parallax view, a powerful method of finding our place in the world by establishing reference points by Slavoj Zizek. But first, we must challenge hegemonic narratives and reconsider Hegel's notion of negation, as breaking free from (or subsuming and overcoming) conventional beliefs allows us to envision new possibilities.As we progress, we'll examine how psychology analysis, meditation, and Buddhism provide tools to reshape our perspectives and alleviate societal discontent. Psychoanalysis will offer unique insights into the human psyche, highlighting the potential for multiple points of fixation as normalcy which creates markers to allow a fixed identity.Moreover, we'll consider all of these topics related to the “desiring self” and its role in identity. Most pointedly, we will look at Christianity's perspective on sin related to desire, and how desire is necessary to align with God.Stay tuned for the next post, where we will dive deep into the intricacies of the Parallax View, a possibly revolutionary approach to subjective positioning that allows understanding without always negating the negation, as deconstrcutionism does. 0:00 Introduction of the parallax view.Introducing ryder richards and the concept of the parallax view, which is a means to find a position by establishing points of reference.The next episode is all about the next episode.2:19 Breaking the power of hegemonic narratives.Post structuralist or deconstructionist. All of their arguments today can arguably be post-structuralist or post-deconstructionist, where brains are trained to be creatively destructive.Hegel's notion of negation, the ability to negate impact or power of something.4:28 We must retain the positions we've just cancelled.Hegel makes his point that cancellation preserves the positions that were just cancelled, but that there is a need for a visual goal to position ourselves in society.Hegel argues that every cancellation is a new position, so every cancellation adds more gravel to the pile.6:44 Why we need to break traditional beliefs.How modernist thinkers broke traditional beliefs to avoid the totalitarian narrative and nationalistic mindset that was sweeping through Europe 100 years ago.Two dispositions in the rubble of the rubble.8:47 How to choose a new perspective.Society is more unhappy, anxious and despairing than it was in the past, according to the studies.Psychology analysis and therapy are tools for relief from the society that we live in and what we feel we deserve, and help pull us out of instant reactions11:23 Psychoanalysis is more about sizing the psychotic subject than the ego.Zizek, Lacanian psychoanalysis is more about hysteria sizing the psychotic subject. To be non-psychotic is either to have multiple points of fixation or never know exactly who you are.Buddhism and meditation.13:41 How to become an individual subject without ego.CBT therapy and meditation help reframe how you fit into the world and how you see your position in the world. It allows you to prioritize your desires differently.Buddhism is ridding yourself of attempting to desire anything at all.16:18 To sin is to miss the mark.To sin is to position yourself further away from god, to miss the mark, and to be aligned with god to grow near the object of desire.Christianity uses desire rather than negates it.18:44 Reframing the problem into parallax.Walking us through the conundrum of the desiring self and the methods of reframing it and positioning in it.Instead of the negation that is a deconstructivist rubble that has created an apocalyptic landscape, there might actually be a solution that is apparent here.

Join us for this episode of BaseCamp Live, where Davies Owens interviews Chris Hall, a teacher, author, and founder of Always Learning Education. Chris discusses the significance of the servile or common arts and their connection to the liberal arts, a distinction that classical educators often overlook. A life guided by classical principles involves more than just studying the great books; we must genuinely embody our virtues, which sometimes occurs through hands-on experiences.Drawing on the wisdom of Hugh of St. Victor, Matthew Crawford, and John Milton, Chris delves into practical applications of ancient knowledge. For example, he suggests inviting students to visit a real forge after reading about one in a novel. Furthermore, he poses the question of how education might differ if we could involve parents, grandparents, and even janitors in teaching about the importance of hands-on work. Lastly, explore the practical aspects of incorporating these educational practices at home through chores, cooking, and adventuring. Join Davies and Chris as they discuss the importance of engaging the hands, head, and heart in learning.

Did you know that NASA has patented inventions ready for you to license and commercialize? This interview is part of the Space Tech Innovation event where Space Tech Leaders share the latest trends and key insights to grow any tech company.  The event is Free – you can register at https://SpaceTechInnovation.com to see all the videos, edited transcripts, and an executive summary of each interview. On this episode of the podcast, I am talking with Dan Lockney. I'm excited about this episode because Dan and I talk about a fantastic program from NASA for technology companies. Dan is the Technology Transfer Program Executive at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.  He is responsible for managing NASA's intellectual property and the transfer of NASA technology to promote the commercialization and public availability of NASA's patented inventions. Dan and I discuss how NASA's Technology Transfer Program operates and the types of companies that can license the technology.  Here's a small spoiler:  any size of company can license the technology – from startups to large corporations.  And, you will be surprised at the cost of the license! Dan shares information about the motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program.  He also discusses some of his favorite inventions that have been successfully commercialized. NASA has a publication called “Spinoff” that highlights many types of transferred technologies that benefit life on Earth in the form of commercial products.  NASA recently published a new edition of the Spinoff publication.  It has dozens of stories describing businesses that have successfully launched products based on technology licensed from NASA.  There's a link to the Spinoff publication below. Why is this program exciting to me?  As you may know, as a Patent Strategist I work with tech companies every day regarding patents and inventions.  This Technology Transfer Program is a great opportunity to license patented NASA technology to launch a business or a new product line. I encourage you to listen to this episode and see if the Technology Transfer Program is a good option for your business. “The Spinoff publication was created to let everyone know about the Technology Transfer Program and show the results of NASA's research and development activities.” – Daniel Lockney Today on the Tech Leader Talk podcast: - How does the NASA Technology Transfer Program work - Program success stories - The motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program - Types of technologies contained in the patented inventions - How a team of NASA engineers designed a new low-cost ventilator in response to the Covid outbreak Resources: Spinoff publication:  https://spinoff.nasa.gov/ NASA Technology Transfer Program:  https://technology.nasa.gov/ NASA Spinoff temperature-regulating mugs:  https://burnoutmugs.com/ Book:  Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford - https://www.amazon.com/Shop-Class-Soulcraft-Inquiry-Value/dp/0143117467 Connect with Daniel Lockney: LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-lockney-bb5316a8/ Website:  https://technology.nasa.gov/network Thanks for listening!

The market for real handmade products is reported to have surged in recent years. Initiatives such as Australia's Seasons of New England Expo and Makers Markets in the UK have led to a revival in small artisanal businesses. Online platforms also give skilful craftspeople a vast market to sell to. Business Daily's David Reid hears from sellers in Manchester making things as diverse as balloon animals and mushroom growing kits. We also hear about the benefits of working with your hands. The philosopher and motor mechanic, Matthew Crawford, is the author of 'The Case for Working with your Hands' and 'The World Beyond Your Head' – he tells us why office work and current management practices have removed judgement and decision making from our day-to-day efforts and alienated us from the real results of the work we do. Produced and presented by David Reid. (Image: A potter making a pot using a wheel. Credit: Getty Images)

The prospect of fully self-driving cars is still some way off, but are we thinking enough about whether it should happen? Today's Justin Webb spoke to American philosopher Matthew Crawford - author of 'Why we drive' - about the impact that driverless cars could have on humanity and society. They explore questions like: Are we becoming too dependent on technology? Is 'agency' a key part of what it means to be human? And how does driving a car reflect the way people interact with others?

In some pockets of the Protestant world ‘asceticism’ is a dirty word. It brings works righteousness and unbiblical acts of self-abuse to mind. But is that the whole story? Jesus said, ‘When you fast’ not ‘If you fast.’ In other words, it’s expected, and there’s a right way to do it. So, perhaps it comes as a surprise that self-denial is actually growing in popularity, and it’s doing so outside the church. Why is it happening, and what should we think about it.
