Send us a textPeaches is back with a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief—and it's a needed reset. From Army barracks issues and counter-drone tech to Navy hypersonics, NATO cold-weather training, Air Force deployments, and the internet losing its mind over Greenland and Venezuela, this episode cuts through bad takes with context. Peaches explains what actually matters, why some outrage is performative, and how politics, psyops, deterrence, and military reality collide in ways social media refuses to understand. No hype. No fear porn. Just a grounded walk through what's happening, why it's happening, and why most people are missing the plot.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and Daily Drop return 01:30 OTS Alabama update and how to attend 03:00 Financial aid, permissive TDY, and access 04:15 Army news: barracks, drones, accountability 05:30 Navy: Zumwalt upgrades and naval dominance 07:00 Marines deploy for Cold Response 08:50 Air Force flyovers and Middle East deployment 10:00 DOD: military working dog retirement 11:20 Retired generals, politics, and double standards 13:30 Moral disobedience and dangerous messaging 15:30 Burn pits, responsibility, and reality 17:00 Greenland, deterrence, and internet outrage 18:45 Venezuela, seizures, and selective attention 20:00 Global ops roundup and final thoughts

Rachel Maddow shares recent examples of prominent members of the clergy speaking out against Donald Trump's abuse anti-immigrant tactics and his belligerent foreign policy, and talks with Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, about defending immigrant members of his community and Donald Trump's dismantling of the moral role the U.S. plays in the world.Rachel Maddow reports on a growing number of towns and communities that are speaking out and standing up to Department of Homeland Security plans to open ICE detention and processing facilities to take in immigrants being arrested in federal raids. The rejection of ICE facilities fits into a bigger picture of pressure being put on companies and organizations that have become tacit ICE resources, from Avelo Airlines conducting deportation flights, to Home Depot allowing arrests of day laborers in their parking lots.Rachel Maddow shares photos of a giant replica of the naked woman birthday doodle that appears to have been from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday. The replica is meant to commemorate Trump's relationship with Epstein as Epstein's birthday approaches. Want more of Rachel?

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is rejecting assertions that the anti-ICE protesters who stormed a church in his state over the weekend broke the federal law the Justice Department has cited as having potentially violated. Top DOJ officials say they are looking into whether the agitators who disrupted services at St. Paul's Cities Church on Sunday violated the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act. Also the phrase "churches are open to everyone" has been clearly misconstrued.

In many ways, humanity seems to have become more humane and inclusive over time. While there's still a lot of progress to be made, campaigns to give people of different genders, races, sexualities, ethnicities, beliefs, and abilities equal treatment and rights have had significant success.It's tempting to believe this was inevitable — that the arc of history “bends toward justice,” and that as humans get richer, we'll make even more moral progress.But today's guest Christopher Brown — a professor of history at Columbia University and specialist in the abolitionist movement and the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries — believes the story of how slavery became unacceptable suggests moral progress is far from inevitable.Rebroadcast: This episode was originally aired in February 2023.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.link/CLBWhile most of us today feel that the abolition of slavery was sure to happen sooner or later as humans became richer and more educated, Christopher doesn't believe any of the arguments for that conclusion pass muster. If he's right, a counterfactual history where slavery remains widespread in 2023 isn't so far-fetched.As Christopher lays out in his two key books, Moral Capital: Foundations of British Abolitionism and Arming Slaves: From Classical Times to the Modern Age, slavery has been ubiquitous throughout history. Slavery of some form was fundamental in Classical Greece, the Roman Empire, in much of the Islamic civilisation, in South Asia, and in parts of early modern East Asia, Korea, China.It was justified on all sorts of grounds that sound mad to us today. But according to Christopher, while there's evidence that slavery was questioned in many of these civilisations, and periodically attacked by slaves themselves, there was no enduring or successful moral advocacy against slavery until the British abolitionist movement of the 1700s.That movement first conquered Britain and its empire, then eventually the whole world. But the fact that there's only a single time in history that a persistent effort to ban slavery got off the ground is a big clue that opposition to slavery was a contingent matter: if abolition had been inevitable, we'd expect to see multiple independent abolitionist movements thoroughly history, providing redundancy should any one of them fail.Christopher argues that this rarity is primarily down to the enormous economic and cultural incentives to deny the moral repugnancy of slavery, and crush opposition to it with violence wherever necessary.Mere awareness is insufficient to guarantee a movement will arise to fix a problem. Humanity continues to allow many severe injustices to persist, despite being aware of them. So why is it so hard to imagine we might have done the same with forced labour?In this episode, Christopher describes the unique and peculiar set of political, social and religious circumstances that gave rise to the only successful and lasting anti-slavery movement in human history. These circumstances were sufficiently improbable that Christopher believes there are very nearby worlds where abolitionism might never have taken off.Christopher and host Rob Wiblin also discuss:Various instantiations of slavery throughout human historySigns of antislavery sentiment before the 17th centuryThe role of the Quakers in early British abolitionist movementThe importance of individual “heroes” in the abolitionist movementArguments against the idea that the abolition of slavery was contingentWhether there have ever been any major moral shifts that were inevitableChapters:Rob's intro (00:00:00)Cold open (00:01:45)Who's Christopher Brown?

The Letter of Jude E3 — After the letter's opening appeal, Jude (or Judah) begins warning corrupt members of a Jewish messianic church community who cast off restraint and live openly immoral lives. He does so with an ancient rhetorical technique found in both the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Jude shares three stories of rebellion in the Hebrew Bible: the spies fearful of the promised land in Numbers 13-14, the “sons of God” in Genesis 6, and the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. Then he draws comparisons to the corrupt church members, promising they'll receive the same judgment. Why does Jude write this way about the moral crisis in a church? What is he trying to communicate? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore verses 5-8, unpacking the dense biblical references and what they would have meant to Jude and his audience.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSA Jewish Rhetorical Technique (0:00-18:10)Rebellion of the Spies, Sons of God, and Sodom and Gomorrah (18:10-36:41)Concluding Thoughts on the First Triad (36:41-51:54)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Dead Sea Scrolls (Pesharim)Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books.SHOW MUSIC“Fellowship” by Lofi Sunday, Cassidy Godwin“Peace With You ft.

This is an audio essay from my SubStack, Process This. ⁠⁠You can head over here to read or watch the entire essay⁠.⁠ I grew up as a Baptist church planter's kid, and the church gave me everything that matters most to me—my faith, my love of Scripture, my relationship with Jesus. But for over two decades now, I've watched the tradition that formed me transform into something I barely recognize. In this essay, I explore the concept of "sequential complicity"—how small, seemingly reasonable compromises lock communities into escalating patterns of moral accommodation. Using research on how ordinary German Christians became bystanders during the Nazi era, I trace a similar pattern in white American evangelicalism: from the real origins of the Religious Right in the 1970s (hint: it wasn't abortion), through Reagan, through the Iraq War, and into the Trump era. The data is stark—white evangelicals have undergone the most dramatic ethical shift of any religious group in modern polling history. And the most devout churchgoers aren't the exception; they're the most captured. This isn't an outsider's attack. It's a lament from someone who still reads his Bible every night and talks to Jesus before bed. I'm not asking anyone to become a Democrat. I'm asking whether the sequence has carried us somewhere we never intended to go—and whether it's too late to find our way back. I hope you enjoy it and consider supporting my work by joining 75k+ other people on ⁠⁠⁠Process This⁠⁠⁠. If you want to ⁠⁠⁠read or watch the essay, you will find it here⁠⁠ ⁠on SubStack. UPCOMING ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? And, what difference does it make? For over five decades, Dr. John Dominic Crossan has been one of the world's foremost scholars of the historical Jesus—rigorously reconstructing the life, teachings, and world of a first-century Jewish peasant who proclaimed God's Rule in Roman-occupied Galilee. His work has shaped an entire generation of scholarship and transformed how millions understand the figure at the center of Christian faith. This Lenten class begins where all of Dom's work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message? Only by understanding what Jesus' parables meant then can we wrestle with what they might demand of us now.

The sheer numbers of moral scandals in the evangelical church has been unprecedented as far back as we can remember. We can't just ignore this. The stories don't stop. A major evangelical author fell down, and 188 stories like this just last year. Kevin and Danny get back to what Jesus said. The evangelical gel is not going to work. The comfy and the casual church, the soft grace, and the powerless gospel isn't going to cut it. We talk sobriety, watchfulness, and prayerfulness in the war on this segment of Generations.

God honors private faithfulness, even when obedience costs reputation, comfort, and immediate reward.

1. Support for Regime Change Without “Boots on the Ground” Regime change can be morally and strategically justified when it leads to the fall of tyrannical or hostile regimes (e.g., Soviet Union, Iran). Strongly distinguishes between: Non-military or indirect regime change (diplomatic pressure, moral support, rhetoric, economic pressure) Full-scale military invasions, which the speaker opposes based on lessons from Iraq and Libya. Frames “regime change” as a concept unfairly discredited due to past U.S. military failures. 2. Historical Analogy: Reagan and the Cold War Ronald Reagan is a model: “Peace through strength,” rebuilding the military without large-scale invasions. Moral clarity and public rhetoric (e.g., “evil empire,” “tear down this wall”) are catalysts for systemic collapse. The power of words and leadership signaling can inspire dissidents inside authoritarian regimes. 3. Iran as an Active Enemy of the United States Iran is fundamentally different from prior dictatorships: Actively funds terrorism targeting Americans Governed by a theocratic regime portrayed as irredeemable Open U.S. rhetorical and moral support for Iranian protesters and dissidents. Acknowledges uncertainty and risks following a revolution but argues the status quo is worse. 4. Venezuela: Engagement With María Corina Machado A bipartisan Senate meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado following her meeting with President Trump. Highlights her strategic emphasis on: U.S. unity Avoiding partisan attacks on Trump She is an effective, pragmatic opposition leader acting in Venezuela’s national interest. Strong ties between U.S. senators and Venezuelan communities, especially in Florida and Texas. 5. Trump’s Role in Global Opposition Movements Donald Trump’s leadership and rhetoric is a motivating force behind opposition movements in: Iran Venezuela Cuba These three countries are simultaneously nearing potential regime collapse or elections. Claims this could represent the most significant geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, while acknowledging high risks. 6. Military Operation Against Maduro (U.S. Arrest) A recent military raid targeting Nicolás Maduro: Maduro described as being protected by Cuban military forces Operation allegedly resulted in: No American fatalities Multiple enemy combatant deaths The Senator visited three wounded U.S. soldiers recovering in San Antonio. Emphasizing: Their bravery Their role in “changing the Western Hemisphere” Symbolic gestures (retrieving bullets/shrapnel as mementos) Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Episode 341 "The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks." A compelling quote that sums up the thesis of Rutger Bregman's new book. In Moral Ambition, the Dutch historian and the best-selling author argues that smart people need to stop wasting their lives in “BS” jobs - and turn their skills to causes that benefit humanity. By reflecting on the history of the abolitionist and women's rights movements, he explains why it's never too late to take action on major issues - like climate change or the exploitation of animals. He also explores how AI experts are preparing for a massive shift in the way we live, that we need to pay attention to. Same-sex sexual behaviour in primates is incredibly common - despite seemingly having no evolutionary advantage. But scientists have now noticed something counterintuitive. This behaviour happens more often in high-stress environments, where food is scarce, suggesting it may aid with social cohesion. It may even improve the success of straight sex - increasing the number of offspring in a group. If you want to live a longer, healthier life - it may be way easier than you think. Most modern longevity advice is about optimising every aspect of your life - and can feel overwhelming for many people. But a new study shows you can add a full year to your life, just by making very minor tweaks to things like sleep and exercise. Find out how. For three years in a row, average global temperatures have exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial temperatures. As we fail to get a handle on rising global heating, scientists are exploring a new - slightly odd - way of managing carbon levels. The idea is to protect Earth's climate from future wildfires, but cutting down vast swathes of forest and sinking the trees in the Arctic ocean. But will it work - or make things worse?

Man, 2026 is off to a bizarre start. This week a group of people were locked up in jail for posting tweets about Brigitte Macron (yep, you can get arrested for “online bullying”…who knew!). Plus, we share the story of Sascha Riley, an Epstein adjacent survivor who's story is getting squashed by mainstream media, and dive into Hailey Bieber sending a cease and desist to a TikToker simply sharing their opinion. Moral of the story: rich and powerful people are once again above the law!

This is the recording of my presentation at the Mid-Atlantic Popular & American Culture Association 2011 conference, applying Aristotelian moral theory to reading George R.R. Martin's series Song of Ice and Fire. In it, I argue that Martin articulates a essentially neo-Aristotelian view of human nature, characters, development, ethos and moral qualities, referencing selected events, characters, dialogues, monologues, and decisions from the narrative, I focus upon four aspects of a neo-Aristotelian view of moral life, character, and discourse, namely: community as sharing (koinonia) but also locus of conflict over moral qualities and judgments motivational interplays between interests, desires, loyalties, and common goods ethos reflected in both individual characters and houses characters' choice and development as matters of better or worse practical reasoning towards and about the variety of human goods.

Respected bioethicist C. Ben Mitchell, PhD, joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for a conversation on bioethics as a lived reality in modern healthcare, shaping how healthcare professionals see patients, practice medicine, and safeguard conscience and trust. Drawing from decades of experience and his book Bioethics in Medicine: A Short Companion, Ben Mitchell explores why medicine is more than a technical service, how language and ethical frameworks shape care, and what it means to practice with conscience in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Acts 17, where Paul confronts a culture saturated with idols and misplaced worship. Engaging the leading philosophers of his day, Paul exposes their flawed worldview and points them to the one true God, ultimately focusing his message on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the same way, our world today is filled with modern idols that promise life but cannot deliver. True life is not found in an activity, ideology, or possession, but in a person—Jesus Christ, our risen Savior.

Sweaty palms, bad decisions, and the creeping realization that the walls are closing in have always been Joe Carnahan's cinematic comfort zone, from the raw nerve of “Narc” to the adrenalized chaos of “Smokin' Aces.” With “The Rip,” Carnahan distills that obsession into its most claustrophobic form yet, a lean, pressure-cooker cop thriller that weaponizes procedure, grief, and mistrust by refusing to let anyone leave the room.Premiering January 16 on Netflix, the film follows a team of law enforcement officers tasked with counting a massive cash seizure inside a private home, only to realize the money has placed them squarely in someone else's crosshairs, turning routine protocol into a moral and physical siege where loyalty fractures and survival comes at a cost. The film stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Kyle Chandler, Scott Adkins, and more.On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by writer-director Joe Carnahan to discuss how “The Rip” grew out of deeply personal real-life experience, why confinement can be more terrifying than scale, collaborating with Damon and Affleck as producers, and why character-driven crime stories continue to pull him back more than any franchise machinery.

Fr. Spitzer and Doug discuss confession, guilt over past sins, and why certain teachings formed during the Patriarchal period to Jesus' command to forgive your neighbor 77 times.

Summary  I start the episode with a 50yo speech from Admiral Rickover, father of the Nuclear Navy about the importance of business ethics delivered just before our bicentennial that is just as relevant leading into the 250th celebration. Then I shift to break down a topic I find that most people don't understand - Whole life insurance policy loans with the Infinite Banking strategy are not magic or even special. What's special is the cash value backing it. Good rule to remember - loan interest rates simply reflect the risk. If rates are low, then the risk is really low. Life insurance companies historically offer the lowest rates anywhere because of the strength of the cash value.   Episode Highlights 00:00:14 - Misunderstanding policy loans. 00:01:17 - Frustration with misinformation in the industry. 00:01:32 - Admiral Hymen G. Rickover on America's strengths and risks. 00:03:56 - Founding principles: Freedom, life, liberty, and property. 00:05:22 - Rickover on capitalism and ethical business conduct. 00:06:14 - Business ethics vs. social responsibility. 00:07:42 - Moral legacy of America's Founding Fathers. 00:11:57 - Explaining life insurance policy cash value. 00:12:56 - Misconceptions about policy loan benefits. 00:15:00 - Concept of pooled risk in insurance. 00:15:46 - Insurance companies' resilience through black swan events. 00:20:02 - Admiral Rickover's relevance in today's ethical challenges. 00:23:20 - President Trump and America's global respect. 00:24:27 - Core message: Power of insurance comes from cash value.   Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/  gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/  https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360     Keywords life insurance policy loans   infinite banking   cash value   ethical business conduct   Hymen Rickover   nuclear power   American legacy   capitalism and democracy   morality and ethics   wealth creation   insurance company stability   policyholder dividends   pooled risk   actuarial science   gold versus cash value   conservative values   community accountability   President Trump   American democracy   250th anniversary celebration

The guest fell through, but the conversation we needed showed up anyway. What starts as a solo pivot becomes a candid look at why emotional performance so often replaces grounded compassion—and how a recent Minnesota tragedy revealed the script in real time. I unpack the psychology of meaning-making, the shift from “I do activism” to “I am an activist,” and the social rewards that elevate feelings as proof of virtue. When identity fuses with ideology, dissent reads as harm, analysis gets labeled cruel, and symbolism races ahead of facts.We also talk about the role of institutionalized guilt and the anxiety it breeds: overperformance at vigils, faster condemnations, louder declarations that center the self while sidelining the person who was harmed. Media ecosystems compound it with binary frames that can't hold nuance, turning complex events into morality plays. I walk through the Minnesota case details, why evidence matters, and how tragedies become props when narratives demand instant certainty. This isn't a hit piece—it's an attempt to understand how smart, sincere people can still drift into brittle certainty, where empathy without truth becomes manipulation and debate gives way to megaphones.There's a different path. Anchor emotions to something outside the self: responsibility, order, and humility. Let grief be sacred, not strategic. Ask what we know and what we don't before we pronounce judgment. Real strength requires restraint; real compassion requires listening; real justice requires truth. If that resonates—or rankles—lean in. I want to hear your take, your pushback, and your added layers.If this conversation challenged you or clarified something you've been feeling, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review so others can find it.

The first minutes hit like a siren: why are graphic scenes of war broadcast in real time, and who gains from the outrage? From there we follow a veteran who stopped scrolling and bought a plane ticket—Dubai to Jerusalem, through the Old City's quarters and into the West Bank with a Palestinian Christian guide. He describes 702 checkpoints in a territory the size of a small state, villages fenced and locked, and settlers in civilian clothes carrying M4s he says trace back to US aid. Between family visits and stories of demolished homes and lost permits, the moral question sharpens: what does it mean when American taxes echo as gunfire in another land?To watch the episode in studio, visit: https://youtu.be/7_xFtqNZAJwTo watch to Part 1 of this two part episode, visit: https://youtu.be/Z03jag9JUtcWe pull back the camera to the information war: censorship, the algorithmic burying of uncomfortable footage, and narratives that turn neighbors into enemies. The host and guest argue that culture wars function like a trap—keeping citizens as “human batteries” fed on distraction, debt, and division. The alternative is demanding but tangible: personal excellence, strong families, financial independence, homesteading and homeschooling where possible, and a conscious march into media, education, finance, and tech to rebuild the culture that reshapes policy. No calls for insurrection here—only a sober read on how uprisings are used to justify tighter surveillance and how real change is planted, tended, and grown.The conversation then traces an arc few podcasts dare: from the destruction of the Second Temple to Constantine's Edict of Milan, the Nicene Creed, the Great Schism, and the Reformation. For listeners lost in a sea of shifting pulpits and politicized sermons, Orthodoxy is presented as a throughline—apostolic succession, unchanged creed, and the writings of the Church Fathers—as a stable anchor in an age of spin. The finale turns to purpose. The odds of your existence are nearly zero; don't donate your life to an algorithm. Seek Christ, ask for truth, and pursue a calling with integrity.

The conversation delves into the complexities of end-of-life care, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful training and education in healthcare. It highlights the potential moral injuries that can arise from decisions made in this sensitive area, particularly when medics are tasked with determining the futility of care without adequate resources.TakeawaysThere's a ripple effect from each one of these decisions.We have to be very thoughtful about how we train and educate.Moral injury can result from poor decision-making in healthcare.Medics determining early futility may not have the necessary resources.Championing certain ideas can lead to operational inefficiencies.End-of-life care requires a balance of ethics and practicality.Training should encompass both education and practical skills.Healthcare decisions impact not just patients but the entire system.Moral injury is a significant concern in medical ethics.Operational effectiveness can be compromised by hasty decisions.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Palliative Care in Combat Medicine00:29 Operational Effectiveness vs. Palliative Care MessagingFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠

On this episode of the CMAJ Podcast, Dr. Mojola Omole and Dr. Blair Bigham examine the issues raised in a recent CMAJ commentary on Alberta's Compassionate Intervention Act, which explores the ethical and clinical implications of this approach to involuntary treatment. As governments across Canada turn to coercive measures in response to the overdose crisis, the episode considers what these policies mean for patient autonomy, clinical practice, and the role of physicians in enforcing care.Dr. Bonnie Larson, a family physician and addictions medicine specialist at the University of Calgary, joins the conversation to unpack the legislation. She explains how the Act allows individuals to be detained and treated even when they are deemed capable of making their own medical decisions. Dr. Larson describes how this represents a substantial departure from established principles of consent and autonomy, placing physicians in ethically complex positions and reshaping their role in care.The discussion then turns to Massachusetts, where involuntary treatment for substance use has existed for decades under Section 35. Dr. Keren Ladin, a bioethicist and health services researcher at Tufts University, reveals the experiences of clinicians working within this framework. Drawing on her research, she describes how Section 35 has shaped clinical practice, contributed to moral distress among healthcare providers, and often resulted in people being treated in carceral rather than therapeutic settings.Together, the guests reflect on what these policies reveal about how societies respond to addiction, the limits of coercive care, and the risks of prioritizing control over evidence-based, patient-centred treatment.Comments or questions?

In this episode, Jillian is joined by David Harris Jr., a leading conservative voice known for fusing Christian faith with blunt cultural and political commentary. With millions following his work, David doesn't dodge the hard questions about religion, morality, accountability, and where America is headed next. We break down: Why morals are collapsing in America How faith became a political battleground Whether belief is healing the nation—or tearing it apart What happens when a country loses its moral anchor America is in moral free fall. Institutions are failing. Truth is blurred. Power is shifting fast.  People are feeling more lost, overwhelmed, and alone than they have in decades. As the country spirals, faith has moved from personal belief to a cultural and political weapon.  Is religion the answer to personal peace and a principled life or another tool weaponized to divide us?

【聊了什么The What】 本期节目，Lokin与哲学家袁源、《疲惫娇娃》的主播一同过度解读了保罗·托马斯·安德森（Paul Thomas Anderson）很有嚼劲的新作《一战再战》。这部电影是让小杨“撇着嘴进去，真香着出来”的年度惊喜，也是袁源觉得十分“就这”的陈词滥调。我们从加缪的《反叛者》出发，探讨暴力革命的伦理困境：当“妇人之仁”成为罪行，对抽象理念的狂热是否必然以牺牲具体的人为代价？Perfidia是一个挑战观众道德底线的反英雄，还是一位被男性凝视和刻板印象所困的复杂女性？Perfidia式的、为“爽”而战的景观式革命的反面，是否是Sensei式的、根植于邻里互助的日常英雄主义？ For this episode, we invited philosopher Yuan Yuan and Lokin to join us in over-interpreting Paul Thomas Anderson's chewy new film One Battle After Another. It's a movie that some of us walked into with doubts and walked out of utterly charmed, while others find it to be a thoroughly “meh” bundle of clichés. Starting from Camus's The Rebel, we dig into the ethical dilemmas of revolutionary violence: when “womanly compassion” becomes a crime, does fervor for an abstract ideal inevitably demand the sacrifice of concrete human lives? Is Perfidia a boundary-pushing anti-hero who defies our moral expectations, or a complex woman trapped within male gaze and stereotype? And if Perfidia's spectacle-driven, pleasure-forward revolution is one end of the spectrum, is its opposite the Sensei style—an everyday heroism grounded in neighborly mutual aid? 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 电影《一战再战》剧情速览和第一印象 10:23 为何将60年代的革命美学平移到2008年让人“不买账”？ 22:34 暴力革命的道德思辨：电影中的革命行动是否满足“正义的目标”、“必要性”与“相称性”？ 31:33 Perfidia是刻板印象还是反英雄？ 54:12 Willa打破父辈创伤的循环了吗？ 58:03 “非盈利蛇头”Sensei和日常的英雄主义 67:07 对白人至上主义的辛辣讽刺 78:47 结局：这也能大团圆 00:00 Quick plot recap of One Battle After Another and our initial reactions 10:23 Why does transplanting 1960s revolutionary aesthetics into 2008 feel so unconvincing? 22:34 Moral reasoning around violent revolution: do the film's actions satisfy “just cause,” “necessity,” and “proportionality”? 31:33 Perfidia: sexualized or anti-hero? 54:12 Does Willa break the cycle of her parents' trauma? 58:03 The “non-profit coyote” Sensei and the quiet heroism of the everyday 67:07 A sharp satire of white supremacism 78:47 The ending: …so this counts as a happy ending? 【拓展链接 The Links】 Liberalism in Dark Times: The Liberal Ethos in the Twentieth Century The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt Vineland 【支持疲惫娇娃】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡： 海外用户：https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户：https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱：cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信：CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022

Human exceptionalism is the default moral framework of our time. We build systems that prioritise humans while using—often unnecessarily—hundreds of billions of animals and trillions of insects each year, with plans to scale that harm even further through technology, agriculture, and AI. Jeff Sebo exposes human exceptionalism as a convenient assumption, not a defensible moral position. Jeff is an associate ...

Every time India's delivery workers surface in the news — whether for earning Rs 762 after a 15-hour shift and 28 deliveries, or for being forced to walk nearly a kilometre into an apartment complex because security won't let their bike through — we're invited to examine our consciences. In this familiar run-around, we look on with appropriate distress, urge each other to tip generously, and make the effort to walk down to the gate. Watch ThePrint columnist Karanjeet Kaur explains 'How platforms that manufactured a culture of 10-minute delivery have now made consumers an equal party to the exploitation of workers.'.

There was once a man who called himself an Astrologer. He spent all his time studying the night sky because he believed the stars could tell him exactly what would happen in the future.One night, he was walking along a dark road outside his village. He was so busy looking up at the stars—trying to figure out when the world might end—that he didn't look where he was going.The Accident: Suddenly, he stepped right into a big, deep hole filled with mud and water!The Struggle: He was stuck up to his ears in the cold mud. He tried to climb out, but the sides were too slippery. He began to shout and cry for help.The Lesson: The villagers heard his cries and ran to help him. As they pulled him out of the muddy mess, one neighbor said:"You spend all your time trying to read the future in the stars, but you can't even see what is right at your feet!"The Moral of the StoryThe lesson of this fable is: Take care of the little things, and the big things will take care of themselves.Key LessonsBe Mindful: It is important to pay attention to what is happening right now, not just what might happen later.Stay Grounded: While it is okay to have big dreams (like looking at the stars), you still have to watch where you are walking.Practicality: Don't ignore the real world because you are too busy thinking about imaginary things or the distant future.Support the show

Slavery did not end in the nineteenth century—it persists today, hidden in global supply chains, religious justifications, and systems of power. Kevin Bales and Michael Rota join Evan Rosa to explore modern slavery through history, psychology, and theology, asking why it remains so difficult to see and confront.“It's time some person should see these calamities to their end.” (Thomas Clarkson, 1785)“There are millions of slaves in the world today.” (Kevin Bales, 2025)In this episode, they consider how conscience, power, and religious belief can either sustain enslavement or become forces for abolition. Together they discuss the psychology of slaveholding, faith's complicity and resistance, Quaker abolitionism, modern debt bondage, ISIS and Yazidi slavery, and what meaningful action looks like today.https://freetheslaves.net/––––––––––––––––––Episode Highlights“There are millions of slaves in the world today.”“Statistics isn't gonna do it.

THE FINAL ASHES TEST IN SYDNEY AND THE FUTURE OF TEST CRICKET Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Jeremy Zakis discusses the final Ashes test in Sydney, noting that heavy storms threaten to wash out the match, potentially handing England a "moral victory" if they perform well before the rain hits. He observes that Englandsurprised him by employing a hybrid strategy—mixing conservative play with their aggressive "Bazball" style—which allowed them to accelerate strategically. Conversely, Zakis notes that Australia stuck to a conservative tempo and failed to counter England's aggression quickly enough, causing their run rate to lag. He views this final game as a glimpse into the future of test cricket, anticipating Australia might test younger players or T20-style tactics.

A few years back, many politicians were raising the alarm about the dangers of "CRT" in schools. Today, the new risk to public education is "DEI." What do both of these moments have in common? They have all the elements of a moral panic. So in this installment of Code Switch History Class, we're looking at the history of moral panics in the U.S., and why they so often invoke fears about race and integration.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
