On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ the harrowing and tragic case of Judy Malinowski. In 2015 Judy was in a volatile relationship with her boyfriend Mike Slager. One afternoon while stopping at a gas station for cigarettes the two of them get into a fight and Mike pours gasoline on Judy and sets her on fire! Over the next 2 years she would fight through unfathomable pain to stay alive. She not only changed the law in Ohio but would be the first person in US history to testify in her own murder trial! Moral of this story... "we will either find a way, or make one." - Hannibal Barca Huge shout out to Myrtle for helping me research this episode! Learn more about your ad choices.

David French returns to The Puck for a wide-ranging, deeply thoughtful conversation about the state of American democracy, the risks of authoritarianism, and the spiritual costs of political polarization. A New York Times columnist and former National Review editor, French unpacks the dangerous allure of strongman politics, reflects on Israel's evolving strategy in the Middle East, and explores how each of us can preserve trust and truth in chaotic times. We talk about why institutions feel broken, how Trump uses public spectacle as a shield against accountability, and what it means to live with faith and courage in a disorienting moment. From LA protests to global power shifts, from misinformation to moral resilience—this is an episode you don't want to miss.
En este mensaje tratamos el siguiente caso de una mujer que «descargó su conciencia» de manera anónima en nuestro sitio www.conciencia.net, autorizándonos a que la citáramos: «Estoy separada del papá de mi hija de quince años, pero ahora me está resultando difícil lograr que ella quiera ir a verlo cuando le tocan visitas con su hermanito. Ella me dice que su papá le echa la culpa de cosas que le pasan a él con su actual pareja, y que le dice cosas poco honrosas de mí.... Yo he hablado varias veces con él respecto a que no le diga cosas que no corresponden a nuestros hijos, pero no me hace caso, y eso los está afectando.» Este es el consejo que le dio mi esposa: »Estimada amiga: »Los conflictos personales y las cicatrices emocionales nunca son una justificación para herir a los demás, especialmente a nuestros propios hijos. No hay excusa alguna para degradar al cónyuge en la presencia de hijos inocentes. Esa manera de hablar refleja inmadurez y egoísmo. »El apóstol Pablo enseñó que debemos velar no sólo por nuestros propios intereses sino también por los intereses de los demás.1 Si bien muchos padres sostienen que sus hijos ocupan el primer lugar, no reconocen que sus propios conflictos personales y cicatrices emocionales han distorsionado la capacidad que tienen de ser objetivos.... »Lo que no sabemos es si existe una orden judicial que especifique las condiciones para las visitas de los hijos con el padre. Si hay un acuerdo legal, entonces usted necesitaría acudir al sistema judicial para modificarlo. »Sin embargo, si no existe ningún acuerdo legal, entonces usted tiene más opciones. La mejor opción sería que consultara a un consejero familiar profesional. Su hija podría contarle lo que siente al consejero, y usted luego podría seguir el consejo que él diera. »Si no puede acudir a un consejero profesional, le recomendamos que apoye la decisión de su hija en cuanto a que haya menos visitas con el padre siempre y cuando ella comprenda que usted no puede servir de mediadora entre ellos. Ella misma debe negociar con él de una manera respetuosa y sin acusarlo de nada. Sin embargo, al hacerlo es importante que cuando ella hable con él sobre las visitas, se limite a hablar sólo sobre la siguiente visita y que no trate de dejar de verlo indefinidamente. »Moral y éticamente, los derechos paternos tienen el mismo valor legal que los derechos maternos, a menos que haya evidencia de abuso. Para modificar esos derechos, usted tendría que contratar a un abogado y obtener la aprobación de parte del sistema judicial. Algunos juzgados bien pudieran tener en cuenta los deseos de una quinceañera, mientras que otros no....» Con eso termina lo que recomienda Linda, mi esposa. El consejo completo puede leerse con sólo ingresar en el sitio www.conciencia.net y pulsar la pestaña que dice: «Casos», y luego buscar el Caso 847.

After years of working with domestic and exotic animals in Australia and rescuing bears in China, Dr. Sheddy took her expertise to the seas. Now based on her 37ft sailboat Chuffed, she delivers free veterinary care to animals in remote coastal communities across Central America and Mexico — reaching places where traditional care simply doesn't exist. She funds her work independently through Patreon and YouTube while living full-time on the water with her partner Jim. In 2024 alone, Vet Tails helped over 450 animals across 13 communities, offering everything from vaccinations to life-saving surgeries.

Torture is generally thought of as a bad things - an unacceptable means to an end. But what if that end is justifiable? In many cases, torture is clearly unethical - for example when used as a means of political suppression, as a fear tactic, or for a forced confession. But what about torture in more ambiguous cases - when the torturer is fairly confident that the person being tortured has key information that could save many lives if it were obtained? Juan Mendez joins the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Watch here: https://youtu.be/-NaJolceTlI Robert Forsyth interviews Dr. Michael Bird, who reflects on the relationship between liberalism and Christianity. Bird acknowledges the strengths of liberalism—its emphasis on individual liberty, pluralism, and democratic governance—but warns that when liberalism becomes detached from its Christian moral and philosophical roots, it risks undermining the very values it seeks to uphold. He argues that a purely secular liberalism can drift into relativism or moral vacuity, leaving society vulnerable to fragmentation. For liberal democracy to thrive, Bird suggests, it must remain tethered to a deeper moral vision—one that Christianity has historically provided.
El exsubsecretario Máximo Pavez (UDI) planteó que el Frente Amplio insiste en su presunta "superioridad moral" por sobre los partidos de la exConcertación. En El Primer Café, Pavez sostuvo que la actual alianza de gobierno está llevando adelante "una primaria por la supervivencia de las identidades políticas en la izquierda, y es evidente que lo que está sucediendo es que el Frente Amplio, siendo el Frente Amplio, no ha dejado de pensar un ápice en lo que ha señalado desde su instalación, que es la superioridad moral respecto a la Concertación". Conduce Cecilia Rovaretti.

”There's A Moral Fabric To Reality” Join me and my guest Wade Chumney (wadechumney.com), speaker, consultant and transformational leader who is a recognized thought leader on AI and Human Ethics. He hosts two podcasts: The AI Ethics Dude ,and The Reflective Revolution, and co-hosts the Consciousness RenAIssance YouTube channel. Wade is an Associate Professor of Business Ethics & Law and holds a Juris Doctor and a Masters of Information Systems. He is an adherent of the Platonic wisdom tradition and has written a book about developing one's consciousness titled Conscious Business Ethics: The Practical Guide to Wisdom. SPONSORED BY: Power of You! Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this conversation, Blaine and Wade Chumney explore the intersection of business ethics, AI, and the concept of the 'soul of business.' They discuss the importance of intention in business practices, the ethical implications of AI, and the need for adaptability in a rapidly changing technological landscape. Wade shares insights from his AI ethics class, emphasizing the significance of aligning AI development with human values and the potential consequences of neglecting ethical considerations. In this conversation, Wade Chumney and Blaine Bartlett explore the profound connections between wisdom, ethics, and consciousness in both personal and business contexts. They discuss the journey from information to wisdom, the importance of ethical frameworks in business, and how systems thinking can enhance our understanding of interconnectedness. The dialogue also delves into the role of AI as a transformative tool for personal growth and ethical decision-making, emphasizing the need for a conscious approach to technology and life. Takeaways The purpose of business is to uplift the experience of living on this planet. Intention is the core choice in business and ethics. AI ethics is crucial for humanity's sake and future. The alignment problem in AI is significant and needs attention. Adaptability is key in a rapidly changing world influenced by technology. The younger generation is more aware of AI's implications than older generations. Business can have a soul, reflecting its foundational purpose and values. Wisdom informs adaptability, which is essential for survival in business. The rapid pace of AI development poses ethical challenges that must be addressed. Teaching AI ethics is vital for preparing future leaders. Information transforms into knowledge, which becomes wisdom. Conscious business ethics links to wisdom through ethical frameworks. Understanding systems thinking is crucial for personal and societal growth. Plato's cave allegory illustrates the journey from ignorance to enlightenment. Wisdom involves practical application of knowledge in daily life. The development of consciousness is essential for ethical living. Business ethics should reflect personal ethics and values. Nature serves as a model for ethical business practices. AI can be a powerful tool for enhancing consciousness. Compassion and connection are fundamental to ethical decision-making.

Neste episódio apoteótico da série A ORDEM, mergulhamos na tríplice função da liderança espiritual: ética, institucional e escatológica. Exploramos como a autoridade legítima se sustenta no simbolismo do bem, na fidelidade institucional e na leitura escatológica do tempo. Através de uma leitura bíblica e histórica – do Êxodo ao Apocalipse – mostramos como a ordem divina se revela na liderança que serve, organiza e envia. Uma chamada urgente para a formação de líderes íntegros, conscientes da missão e sintonizados com o Reino que vem.
Kurt Metscher is a 36-year-old family law attorney in Austin. His addiction challenges started in high school, first with marijuana, then amphetamines. After an incident in college, he entered treatment. Initially planning to return to his addiction once his probation was over, he gradually found himself enjoying the sober way of life.He wants people, particularly law firms and partners, to understand that addiction is not a moral failing and that a lawyer in recovery is perhaps better equipped to handle the stressors of the profession than a lawyer who has never struggled with addiction.Find an AA meeting: https://austinaa.org/meetings/From Slate, "Why Philip Seymour Hoffman's Death Is So Scary":"One truism of addiction science is that long-term abuse rewires your brain and changes its chemistry, which is why triggers (or “associated stimuli,” in scientific parlance) are major risk factors for relapse. But these changes can be reversed over time. Walking past the apartment where my dealer used to live didn't make me want to score; it made me feel as if I was in a phantasmagoria of two crosshatched worlds—but I was the only person who could see both realities. None of my colleagues at MIT, no one in the science writing community I lean on for professional advice and support, none of the people who've worked on my books has ever seen me slip into that other world."https://slate.com/technology/2014/02/philip-seymour-hoffmans-drug-death-the-science-of-addiction-recovery-and-relapse.html

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, in light of his recent cancer diagnosis and the perhaps more limited time he will have as a result, we are praying for the conversion of Scott Adams, the creator of the famous "Dilbert" comic, and a well-known cultural commentator.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:1. Keeping the Faith2. Moral renovation3. Conversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com
First up, we plunged headlong into our unofficial Horror Olympics, pitting the recycled slasher spectacle Halloween H2O against the gore-fuelled insanity of Terrifier. Los, my co-host and fellow horror heathen, came in hot with his predictable picks: masked maniacs, jump scares on demand, and “classic” kills that he swears “stand the test of time.” Meanwhile, I defended my unorthodox torchbearers—Disturbia, that suburban teenage thriller where Shia LaBeouf proves you don't need a chainsaw to feel hunted, and Ready or Not, the wildly inventive house-of-cards satire where wedding night turns into lawn-chair carnage. I laid out my argument that clever setup and character-driven tension beat thirty seconds of gratuitous forehead-stabbing any day, and Los grudgingly admitted that yeah, maybe I'm onto something—though he reserves the right to scream “that's so 2004” in my face.Apple's WWDC: When “Liquid Glass” Means “Blinded by the Future”Next, we jumped into Apple's annual pep rally—WWDC 2025—where they unveiled “liquid glass” as if we all suddenly cranked our devices through Drano and into a Black Mirror episode. I recapped the parade of translucent iPhones and speculated that next year we'll be holding our MacBook Air by firelight, because who needs a screen when you can have “milky clarity”? We tore into how Siri is still a glorified paperweight despite promises of AI wizardry, and why the average consumer probably won't care until iOS 26 auto-transforms their phone into a sentient sidekick that orders pizza for them. Los and I marveled at Vision Pro's new “polar vortex mode,” which literally chills your eyeballs to deliver immersion—but at the cost of your retinas. Moral of the story: Apple might soon merge hardware and hallucination, but they still can't figure out why we ask Siri to set alarms and it replies “Good luck with that.”TikTok Ban Scare Round… Whatever This IsIn political theater news, yet another TikTok ban scare is slated for June 19th—cue the gnashing of teeth and frantic downloader guides. I explained why this one's more PR stunt than policy: no executive order on the horizon, just another Washington soundbite designed to keep us distracted while they debate farm subsidies and military spending. Rumor has it Elon Musk weighed in—between tweets about Dogecoin dips—but I assure you, the app empire isn't crumbling (yet). So don't uninstall: keep those 15-second dance routines and cat lip-syncs flowing.TikTok's Jay Renshaw: The “Chit” Series That Actually ChitsSpeaking of TikTok, I fell down the rabbit hole of Jay Renshaw's “Chit” series—videos titled things like “Golf Chit,” “Wedding Chit,” and my personal favorite, “Corporate Chit.” This guy somehow distills every cringe corporate ritual into sub-30-second vignettes that feel like airport bathroom graffiti come to life. I shared my top picks and why, if you need a crash course in humanity's most bizarre habits, this is your masterclass. Warning: you may start narrating your own life with dramatic “Chit” captions—totally normal.Wedding DJ Confessional: When Photographers Duel with CaffeineIn a rare “real life” detour, I recounted my latest gig—spinning tracks at a wedding reception where the photographer, fresh from a bout of over-caffeination, chugged three cans of Hard Mountain Dew thinking it was Sprite. I described the ensuing dad-dance chaos as his shutter finger trembled like a seismic sensor. The bride and groom thought it was performance art. I thought it was a liability. Congratulations to Deb and Kev for capturing every jittery shot of Uncle Bob's twerking meltdown.Joe Exotic for President? Biden's Surprising Pardon PitchOn the political front, we dove into Joe Biden's off-the-cuff suggestion to free Joe Exotic—and no, I'm not making this up for clicks. ..

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/hLBfAVyeMBsThroughout history, authorities have struggled to manage individuals' urges to speak out against injustice and malpractice. IT has given us new means to obtain and publish data that others may wish to protect or even conceal. To some, those who hack and leak are heroes. To others, they are criminals. In an era of mass leaks and high-profile whistleblowing, who decides whether data thieves and hackers are to be protected or prosecuted? And are the old rules still fit for purpose in the digital age? This lecture will discuss these questions and will consider the moral case for stealing data. This lecture was recorded by Victoria Baines on 20th May 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Victoria is IT Livery Company Professor of Information Technology.Victoria is a Senior Research Associate of the Intellectual Forum at Jesus College, Cambridge, a Senior Research Fellow of the British Foreign Policy Group, and a Fellow of the British Computer Society.

She is a graduate of Trinity College, Oxford and holds a doctorate from the University of Nottingham. She serves on the Safety Advisory Board of Snapchat, the Advisory Board of cybersecurity provider Reliance Cyber, and is a trustee of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/moral-case-stealing-dataGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris explore the breakdown of institutions in the digital age, and how difficult it's become to identify what's true and what's not. Harris voices deep concern over the role independent media and social platforms play in amplifying misinformation, especially post-October 7th. They discuss the addictive, fragmenting nature of platforms like X, the erosion of trust in institutions, the dangers of AI-generated identity theft — and possible solutions. The result is a sobering analysis of epistemic collapse, digital psychopathy, and the urgent need for institutional structure in a world where mass information fails us.

Send us a textA dramatic constitutional showdown has erupted between President Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom over immigration enforcement, with profound implications for presidential power, states' rights, and the future of American federalism.When protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles escalated, Trump made the extraordinary decision to deploy both National Guard troops and Marines to California without the governor's consent—the first such federal override of state authority since 1965. The move raises serious constitutional questions about the limits of presidential power and the applicability of the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits using military forces for domestic law enforcement.Beyond the legal questions lies a fascinating political chess match between two ambitious leaders with diametrically opposed worldviews. Trump, recognizing immigration as a winning issue with much of the electorate, has positioned himself as the defender of law and order against what he characterizes as chaos permitted by Democratic leadership. Newsom, with potential presidential ambitions for 2028, must balance resistance to federal overreach with addressing legitimate public safety concerns.The media coverage reveals our national divide. The New York Times characterizes the protests as "for the most part under control" before federal intervention, while the Wall Street Journal describes activists who "torched cars, looted businesses and occupied a major freeway." These contrasting narratives reflect the polarized lenses through which Americans view immigration policy and the proper balance of federal and state power.Perhaps most telling is how both political parties invoke states' rights when convenient and champion federal authority when it serves their agenda. As history shows, when federal forces enter local communities against local wishes, conflict typically follows—raising the essential question of who ultimately decides how our communities are governed. Listen now to understand the deeper currents beneath this confrontation and what it means for America's constitutional future. Support the show
Učitelj smučanja živi v mestu Bariloche nedaleč od Čila. Zime so zadnjih nekaj let še vedno radodarne s snegom, zato se v tem času že pripravlja na sprejem prvih gostov na smučišču Cerro Catedral. Po večini so to premožnejši občasni smučarji iz Buenos Airesa, Sao Paula in Ria de Janeira. V Argentini sicer dva od petih prebivalcev živita pod pragom revščine. Razlike so opazne in se v času predsednika Javierja Mileia ne zmanjšujejo. Se je pa nekoliko umirila inflacija na letni ravni.Zapiski: Marko Žnidaršič na Facebooku, smučarsko središče Catedral Alta Patagonia, Argentina inflation seen slowing to 28.6% by year-end.

It's an Emmajority Wednesday (I know, we're as confused as you are) and we have two great guests for you today. First, we cover Donald Trump's ominous threats to protesters who are upset about ICE raids in Los Angeles and around the country. After that, Emma talks to journalist and author Omar El Akkad about his new book "One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" which reckons with the failure and refusal of the West to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Get Omar's book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/777485/one-day-everyone-will-have-always-been-against-this-by-omar-el-akkad/ And later we're joined by New York City Council member Chi Ossé about Zohran Mamdani's exciting political campaign, the left's momentum in America's biggest city and the how we can fight for affordable housing while protecting vulnerable communities. Follow him on social media, he's always putting out great stuff, and learn more about Zohran Mamdani's campaign and how you can get involved here: https://www.zohranfornyc.com/ In the Fun Half, we check in on the ruptured bromance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Musk is trying to play cute but Trump doesn't seem like he wants to get back together at this point. The White House Press Secretary said they acknowledge Elon's recent statement but that's about it. Lol. Greta Thunberg has been released from Israeli detention, though two of her fellow activists from the flotilla, Thiago Avila and Rema Hassan have apparently been transferred to Israeli prisons where they are in solitary confinement. Greta tells reporters that the very least countries like hers can do now is advocate for an end to the genocide and to recognize Palestine as a state. We're glad she's safe, but Dave Portnoy certainly isn't. He joked about wanting to blow up her ship with a missile, though he's also gotten very touchy about jokes that target Jewish people, while he himself continues to make antisemitic jokes.

Sommerpause. Mal ein paar Tage die Füße ins Wasser halten. Die Welt 'nen guten Mann sein lassen. Einfach mal Gianni Infantino ignorieren. Ist das nicht schön? Haben wir uns das nicht alle verdient? Doch. Haben wir. Aber iwr waren natürlich trotzdem fleißig uns haben uns für den Sommer wieder Folgen ausgedacht, damit ihr nicht noch auf Entzug kommt. Wir machen mit den Hymnen weiter (MARCHONS!), gehen auch mal in die Verge, sprechen über Doping und Moral, haben Alltagsthemen und Serien dabei (also, naja, Enzo hatte es vergessen, aber irgendwann kommen wir schon drauf, versprochen) und... ach... ihr kennt das ja. Da kann das Thema schon mal schnell kippen. Am letzten(!) Montag ging es los mit einer neuen Hymnenfolge, und jetzt(!) am Montag tauchen wir in die spannende Welt der bis heute königstreuen Franzosen. Und den spannenden Erbkrieg (zwischen zwei Spaniern, glaube ich). Also, Freunde, vielleicht gibt's irgendwann im Sommer noch was spontanes, vielleicht auch nicht, aber drüben bei Patreon seid ihr auf jeden Fall versorgt. Regulär geht es weiter am 18.08. mit der traditionellen Trikotranking-Folge. Und noch ein kleiner Veranstaltungstipp: Am 02.08. gibt es ein kleines Hörertreffen unseres befreundeten Podcast "Wettbrötchen". Alles umsonst und draußen, Bier geht auf uns. Da könnt Ihr natürlich auch vorbei kommen. Yok Yok Eden, Frankfurt, irgendwann ab 19 Uhr. Wisst Ihr Bescheid. Viel Spaß! Werde auch DU Funfriend! Den drei90Shop. kennt Ihr ja.

Today we're going to take a friend's Substack post and turn it into one of the best podcast hours you'll have this summer…and maybe give you some ideas about books you need to take with you for the July 4th weekend.From Claude's May 23rd Substack:From the gun decks of HMS Indefatigable to the command chair of a futuristic starship, the portrayal of naval officers in fiction has evolved alongside society's changing views of leadership, warfare, and heroism. The archetype of the naval officer has been shaped not only by historical precedent but also by the imaginative needs of authors responding to their times.Show Links:The Fictional Officer Corps: From Hornblower to Stark, by Claude BerubeThe Connor Stark novels and other books, by Claude BerubeThe Hornblower Series, by C.

DeutermanMary CelesteSummaryIn this episode of Midrats, Sal, Mark, and Claude Berube discuss the evolution of naval fiction and its impact on leadership. They explore how naval characters in literature reflect societal changes and the complexities of leadership in both historical and modern contexts. The conversation delves into moral dilemmas faced by leaders, the significance of character development, and the challenges of internal rivalries within naval settings. Additionally, they touch on the importance of historical accuracy in fiction and the future of naval literature in a rapidly changing world.TakeawaysFiction serves as a unique tool for exploring leadership.Naval characters in literature evolve with societal changes.Moral dilemmas are central to understanding leadership.Internal rivalries can challenge leadership effectiveness.Historical accuracy enhances the depth of naval stories.The readership among young people is declining.Stories about the human condition resonate deeply with readers.The future of naval literature faces uncertainties.Understanding the past is essential for shaping future narratives.Chapters00:00: Introduction to the Conversation02:00: The Evolution of Naval Fiction04:03: Character Development in Naval Literature13:55: Leadership and Command in Fiction20:36: Moral Dilemmas in Naval Leadership25:40: The Future of Naval Literature28:46: The Evolution of Heroism at Sea31:06: Leadership Dynamics in Fiction and Reality35:27: Character Studies in Leadership41:02: Navigating Internal Rivalries46:24: The Changing Landscape of Naval Literature
Join Tony Bruin in this compelling episode of Cogitations as he tackles the phrase “I was born this way” with a bold biblical response: “Then be born again.” This episode explores the conflict between cultural narratives and the gospel's demand for transformation.Tony contrasts human instinct with the moral framework revealed by God, drawing from both scripture and powerful insights from fellow Substack voices like Dunson Wrights and Drew Milligan. With reflections on law, therapy, and the enduring epistemology of Christianity, this episode calls listeners to examine the soul's responsibility and God's offer of new birth.
Horeb – Mitzvah #76: Your Moral Environment - Snared by Influence (and what is חֵרֶם)
Licensed clinical psychologist and health care ethicist Jenny Shields discusses her article, "DSM-5 doesn't name it, but moral distress is everywhere in medicine." Jenny illuminates the pervasive issue of moral distress among clinicians, defining it as the psychological toll exacted when they know the ethically appropriate action but are systematically prevented from taking it by institutional constraints such as hospital policies or insurer mandates. She carefully distinguishes moral distress from burnout or trauma, characterizing it as a chronic erosion of professional identity that occurs when daily work consistently conflicts with the core values that drew clinicians to their profession. Examples cited include understaffing in the face of rising executive compensation and adherence to insurer-driven care plans over sound medical judgment. Jenny describes the accumulation of "moral residue"—a lasting emotional injury—and a form of institutional gaslighting where systemic issues are presented as improvements, causing clinicians to doubt their own perceptions. She argues that by not naming moral distress, diagnostic manuals like the DSM-5 contribute to medicalizing symptoms like burnout, thereby avoiding the underlying ethical fractures in a health care system primarily designed around revenue and efficiency, which consistently deprioritizes ethics. The article calls for a shift away from focusing on individual clinician resilience towards demanding fundamental systemic changes to address this profound ethical crisis.

We have talked about serial killers many times but I have never heard of a group of serial killers that murdered together.

I have never covered a case this brutal and I'm not lying when I tell you I have 2 nightmares this week about this case. Moral of this story...

Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar dive into the rise of Christ consciousness, a concept gaining popularity in New Age circles and even surfacing in some evangelical conversations. This belief system claims that Jesus realized the Christ, expressed it, but was not the same as Christ Himself. Christ, in this view, is seen as a universal state of enlightenment or highest being—a form of Christian consciousness or self-realization accessible to anyone regardless of faith tradition. It's a rebranded version of Eastern mysticism, offering spiritual bliss and inner godhood. The guys warn that while it may sound spiritual, it denies the heart of the gospel.Christ consciousness redefines salvation as simply overcoming the illusion of separation from God, ignoring the reality of sin. But scripture presents sin as true rebellion against a holy and personal God. The gospel is about God stepping into time to rescue a lost people. Imago Dei speaks of our value and purpose, but the call is not to find ourselves—it is to lose ourselves and be found in Christ. The idea that Jesus is just an example overlooks His role as the only mediator between God and humanity. If He did not physically rise from the dead, then the Christian faith has no foundation.The guys emphasize the deceptive nature of Christ consciousness. Forgiveness is redefined as a vague awakening, the crucifixion becomes symbolic, and resurrection is reduced to ego transcendence. Yet without the resurrection, there is no power. Christianity, by contrast, is about God reaching down to save. Ray and E.Z. share personal stories of witnessing to those caught in New Age thought. These individuals often long for spiritual healing, but have been misled. The guys encourage believers to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, and engage with gentleness and respect. Remembering that we too were once lost, Christians are called to love people practically and persistently. Finding common ground can open doors to share the truth of the gospel. People searching for Christ consciousness are often longing for something real—something only Jesus can provide.The fullness of God dwells in Christ alone. New Age teaching fails to address sin, and no level of enlightenment can wash it away. Moral living may keep someone out of jail, but only the blood of Christ can rescue from judgment. The guys urge believers to stay grounded in scripture, recognize false teachings quickly, and never lose sight of the gospel. Any Christ that is not the incarnate Son of God is a counterfeit. Live in true awareness—not of yourself, but of Christ.Send us a textThanks for listening!
