How has rational choice theory come to dominate both our understanding of the world and our view of good judgment, and why is that a problem? What are the benefits of remembering to zoom in and out to get a better picture of problems and solutions? Why do we prefer reducing things to numbers even if that abstracts useful levels of data?Barry Schwartz is a professor Emeritus at Swarthmore College and the prolific author of many books. His latest titles include Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making and Wisdom: How to Discover Your Path in Work and Life.Greg and Barry discuss the limitations of rational choice theory, the importance of practical wisdom, and the role of judgment in making decisions. They also touch on the broader implications of rational choice theory across various fields, the history of economic and social science paradigms, and the necessity of incorporating ethical considerations into people's decision-making. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The way we think about the world changes the world10:47: The argument in the book [Choose Wisely] was, the way we think about the world changes the world. And it is true that the way we think about the world changes the world, but it changes the world materially. It does not just change the world because of the ideas we have running around in our heads; it changes the material world. Yeah. The factory did not exist, and then it did. And as a result, what it meant to work changed. That was not in our heads. That was, you know, a structure that was out in the world that made demands on the people who walked in the door every day. So it was not idealism. The argument was that ideas change not just how people think, but what kinds of things people are able to do. And I think the same thing is true with rational choice theory, though it is a bit more abstract. You know, you cannot do a rational choice analysis without being able to quantify.Why we can't game the way to design incentives14:16: People somehow think that there is a bulletproof way to design incentives, so that they will not distort why they gave us the incentives they are designed to encourage. And, the bad news is there is no such thing, and there is no system that cannot be gamed.How economics changes the way we think07:22: There is a general, more general problem in social science, which is that, unlike planets, people are affected by claims that are made about what they are like. And so, the more we read social science, and the more economics, the king of the social sciences, dominates the news, the more inclined we are to think like and act like economists. So, does this tell us that the economists have discovered something? No. I mean, maybe. But it is just as likely that what economists have done is create something. They have created a way of approaching decisions and value assessment and so on that is consistent with their framework and changed people as a result.What we miss when we measure everything42:15: Rational choice theory is not neutral about what stays in the frame and what goes outside it. Things that go outside the frame are the ones that are most difficult to quantify using the same scale that you are using for everything else. And so, in the case of the price of a pound of beef, you could add the amount of money that our taxes contribute to subsidies. You could factor in the costs of the fertilizers that enable the corn to grow enough so that the cows can get fattened up. How do you quantify exactly the cost to human health? You can do it. How many more dollars do we pay per year because of antibiotic-resistant bacteria? But does that capture the cost in health? No. It only captures the dollar cost in health.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Rational Choice ModelDaniel KahnemanReinforcement LearningB. F.

Did the Disciples Misremember Jesus' Resurrection? Were the resurrection stories just memories gone wrong—or history remembered right? In this episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, apologist Lenny Esposito interviews Dr. David Graieg, author of Resurrection Remembered (Routledge 2024), about what modern memory science reveals about the eyewitness testimony behind Jesus' resurrection. Discover how psychology, philosophy, and ancient oral culture shaped the earliest Christian memories and why 1 Corinthians 15 still stands as powerful historical evidence.

Christianity no longer has the cultural sway it once held. But there's always been a long tradition of Christians being flexible in engaging their culture—whether in ancient Rome, Viking Scandinavia, or modern America.

In Mark 12:28–34, Jesus heard a question about laws but spoke about love. True wisdom discerns the heart, where obedience without love fades, and repentance creates genuine love for God and others.

Ever since he was a young child—when he first realized he was one day going to die—Matthew Alper set himself upon a life quest to ascertain whether or not there exists a spiritual reality, a God. Was he merely a flesh and bone mortal or something more, something that perhaps transcended his purely physical being? After receiving a BA in Philosophy, Matthew continued his unconventional journey working as everything from a photographer's assistant in NYC, an electrician in England, a 5th grade and High School history teacher in Brooklyn, a truck smuggler in Central Africa, and a produced screenwriter in Germany—all the while independently studying the breadth of the life sciences from genetics, biology, anthropology, behavioral neuroscience and more. Once his research yielded what he felt constituted a valid scientific explanation of human spirituality, he wrote, “The ‘God' Part of the Brain.” Since its initial publication in 1997, Matthew has lectured all over the United States, appeared on NBC tv, been written up in the Washington Post, appeared on numerous radio shows and is a contributor to the anthology "Neurotheology"—an emergent new science of which he is considered one of its chief founders. An outspoken member of the atheist and secular humanist movements, Matthew presently lives in Brooklyn.Contact: MatthewAlper1@aol.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Trump's new work requirements for welfare recipients, job losses from the AI revolution, major trade developments with China, new drone defenses for the Pacific, and the growing risks of a satellite disaster in orbit. Work for Welfare Begins: Starting tomorrow, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 65 without dependents must work at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid under Trump's "Triple B Bill." Exemptions include parents of young children and residents in areas with high unemployment. Bryan warns that states managing these programs may soon raise local taxes to offset new administrative costs. AI Cuts Human Jobs: Amazon and other major tech firms are laying off software engineers as AI begins writing code and automating support work. Bryan calls it "a quiet industrial revolution that's going to reshape America's middle class for decades." Trump and Xi Trade Gains and Tensions: China agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this season, with promises to expand purchases later if relations hold steady. But Xi refused to curb Russian oil imports, signaling Beijing's intent to prolong the war in Ukraine. New U.S. Drone System — The X-BAT: A cutting-edge drone platform called the X-BAT can launch vertically, operate without runways, and land itself like a reusable rocket. Bryan calls it "a game-changer for a future war in the Pacific." A Coming Satellite Crisis: With 100,000 satellites expected in orbit by 2030, experts warn of potential collisions and cascading debris — the "Kessler Syndrome." Bryan explains how one accident could take down global communications and cripple modern life. Venezuela Airstrikes Under Review: Trump is considering airstrikes against Venezuelan drug ports and airfields tied to the Cartel de los Soles. Analysts believe the move could topple Nicolás Maduro and restore democracy under opposition leader María Corina Machado. Europe's Migration Backlash: Germany and Sweden face outrage over migrant crime after courts refused to deport rapists from Eritrea. Bryan highlights how "suicidal empathy" — compassion that undermines security — is destabilizing Western nations. Ukraine's Strain and Russia's Weakness: Russia cut interest rates to ease its stagnant economy while Ukraine faces mass draft dodging as 100,000 young men flee to Europe. Trump responded by reducing U.S. troop levels in Romania to refocus on the Pacific and Latin America. Crisis in Mali: Al Qaeda rebels have surrounded Mali's capital as the U.S. orders citizens to evacuate. Bryan warns that Ukraine's secret aid to jihadist groups could backfire and lead to a new Taliban-style regime in West Africa. Listener Mail — The Morality of Espionage: Bryan answers questions about ethics inside the CIA, sharing personal reflections on moral judgment, mentorship, and the gray zones of intelligence work.

In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the discussion of Tractate Bava Metzia 84b, focusing on Rabbi Elazar ben Rabbi Shimon's emotional and spiritual struggle after executing a guilty laundryman (referenced from a prior episode, likely tied to the “vinegar, son of wine” incident). The episode explores themes of guilt, divine justice, Torah study, and the efficacy of prayer, connecting them to personal anecdotes and broader Jewish responsibilities. Key points include:Rabbi Elazar's Guilt and Suffering: Rabbi Elazar, a marshal who executed a disrespectful laundryman (justified by the man's capital offense), feels lingering guilt despite following the law. Like a police officer experiencing PTSD after a justified shooting, Rabbi Elazar cannot rely on his reasoning to absolve himself and accepts physical suffering as atonement. He suffers a severe illness, losing blood and pus nightly, but recovers after his wife prepares 60 types of fig-based food (lifta). He converses with his afflictions, inviting them at night but dismissing them in the morning to avoid disrupting Torah study, showing his dedication despite pain (0:26–3:32).Wife's Reaction and Wealth: His wife, frustrated by his self-imposed suffering and believing he squandered her father's wealth, leaves for her father's house. Sixty sailors then bring Rabbi Elazar 60 slaves with 60 money bags, preparing 60 types of lifta, restoring his wealth. He tells his daughter to inform her mother that “ours is greater than theirs,” citing Proverbs 31:14 (from Eishet Chayil) to affirm that Torah brings sustenance from afar. His wife's absence allows him to return to the study hall (3:32–6:45).Rabbinic Rulings and Validation: In the study hall, Rabbi Elazar examines 60 blood samples from women checking for ritual purity (tahar) during their seven clean days post-menstruation. He declares all samples pure, enabling marital resumption after mikvah. Other rabbis question the statistical likelihood of all 60 being pure, suggesting an error. Rabbi Elazar prays that if his rulings are correct, the women will conceive boys (who cannot become niddah); if incorrect, at least one girl (who can become niddah) will be born. All 60 babies are boys, named after him, validating his rulings and demonstrating divine confirmation (7:07–14:21).Transmission of Halacha: Rabbi Wolbe explains the expertise required to identify impure blood, a skill transmitted from Moshe at Sinai through generations of rabbis, including himself, underscoring the mesorah (oral tradition). This parallels other halachic details (e.g., temple offerings) requiring precise training, like distinguishing colors of blood (8:39–11:27).Prayer's Efficacy: Addressing his daughter's question, Rabbi Wolbe shares a personal story of praying at the Western Wall for a son to fulfill Pidyon HaBen (redeeming the firstborn), which was granted, and accepting Hashem's choice of a daughter for his second child. He clarifies that Hashem answers all prayers, but not always as requested, citing “Ein Tfilason Chozeres Reikam” (no prayer returns empty). Answers may be “no” or “wait,” tailored to what's best, as seen in Rabbi Elazar's answered prayer (15:04–17:08).Broader Lessons: The episode emphasizes human sensitivity in upholding justice (Rabbi Elazar's guilt), the transformative power of Torah study despite physical suffering, and the communal responsibility to trust expert rabbinic rulings. Rabbi Wolbe connects this to the upcoming holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, post-October 8, 2025), urging listeners to carry forward spiritual growth and good deeds._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon explores the relationship between politics and morality for Christians. He argues that while politics undeniably involves moral elements, it is not fundamentally a cosmic battle between good and evil. Instead, politics is about preserving and improving a specific way of life for one's family, community, and people. Using sports as an analogy, Harris explains that games have rules and moral expectations, yet the goal is one team prevailing through local loyalty and ordered love, not universal ethics. Christians can support opposing teams faithfully, just as political issues often require wisdom rather than binary moral judgments. Examples include debating condos versus scenic preservation, allying with feminists to protect girls' sports, taxing vices like marijuana to curb harm, or opposing alcohol bans to safeguard family heritage. Harris stresses the art of the possible: forming limited partnerships with flawed individuals against greater threats, as on Flight 93, and even opposing morally superior foes if they endanger your home, as in historical wars where Christians fought on both sides. God's moral law remains universal on core issues like abortion, but most political decisions hinge on context, identity, and stewardship. The aim is flourishing for those under your care morally, economically, and culturally. Harris rejects situational ethics while affirming situated wisdom in pursuing the best for your people.Order Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.comCheck out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastFollow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Our Sponsors:* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code HARRIS for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of the Leighann McCoy podcast, Leighann delves into the power of prayer and spiritual warfare, focusing on the theme of freedom as a natural response to forgiveness. She addresses challenging questions about God's actions in the Old Testament, exploring the nature of divine justice and love. Leighann emphasizes the importance of approaching God with humility and understanding the cross's transformative power. Keywords prayer, spiritual warfare, freedom, forgiveness, Old Testament, divine justice, humility, cross, God's love, Leighann McCoy Takeaways God's judgments are never random. Divine justice is rooted in love. Morality is taught, not innate. God's holiness demands justice. The cross changes everything. Pride blinds us to spiritual truth. Humility opens doors to faith. God's love is fierce and just. Hell honors human freedom. Questions lead to deeper faith.

Gilles Bourgeois argues that the greenhouse effect is a deceptive construct and not based on real science. He emphasizes the importance of objectivity and rational egoism over mysticism, particularly in the context of climate change discourse. Bourgeois presents scientific principles and philosophical ideas, primarily referencing Ayn Rand and Aristotelian logic, to counter what he terms 'climate religion' and advocate for a clearer, rational understanding of science and morality.00:00 Introduction and Purpose00:34 The Concept of Mysticism and Secular Religion01:44 Morality and Rational Egoism02:46 Personal Background and Relevance04:59 Philosophical Foundations: Plato vs. Aristotle07:52 The Role of Altruism and Rational Egoism in Society11:12 Historical Context: Rome and Western Civilization16:45 The Influence of Aristotelian Philosophy20:19 Critique of the Greenhouse Effect25:00 Correcting the Misconceptions27:03 Debunking the Greenhouse Effect28:16 Thermal Energy Transfer in the Troposphere32:08 The Role of Water Vapor34:53 Refrigeration and Energy Balance37:24 Concluding Thoughts on Climate Science40:51 Philosophical and Moral Implications43:12 Final Remarks and Recommendationshttps://x.com/Gilles_Borghese—Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

STELLA SCURA: DARK STAR RISING VOLUME ONE: A blind teenage girl from North Pole, Alaska learns her true destiny as she realizes the full potential of her vast dark energy powers shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Is she really the legendary Aurora the Angel, or something far more sinister? Will the President of the United States ultimately serve as a mentor, or use her as a pawn to become ruler of the world? STELLA SCURA: DARK STAR RISING VOLUME TWO: Stella Scura impulsively goes on a mission that becomes nothing short of disastrous as she is aided by a long-forgotten group of fourth-rate 1990s TV superheroes in a quest to learn more about her abilities and those of the strange young man from the Netherlands known only as The Orthoman. Along the way she learns of her famous heritage and that her parents are not who they seem to be. Can she develop a relationship with her newly-found friends and family while retaining her humility? Or will she become the greatest "rock star" of all time when fame goes to her teenage head? STELLA SCURA: DARK STAR RISING VOLUME THREE: In the conclusion of Dark Star Rising, the amazing Stella Scura must confront her own vast potential for destruction and once again save a major city from nuclear devastation - but at what cost? And who close to her will make a tremendous sacrifice? TOPICS OF CONVERSATION Origins and Themes of Stella Scura – How the story began decades ago, the evolution of Paige Marshall as a character, and the central theme that real strength comes from moral choices rather than superpowers. World-Building and Political Parallels – The novel's setting in Alaska and its expansion into cosmic and political territory, including commentary on power, leadership, and modern-day parallels. Power, Morality, and Humanity – Exploration of what power truly means, Paige's moral restraint, and how humor, empathy, and logic play roles in resolving conflict instead of force. Family, Mentors, and Relationships – The influence of Petra, Jack, and President Wendy Mendoza on Paige's growth; how family secrets, loyalty, and differing beliefs shape her identity. Series Continuity and Future Works – Connections to Neal's earlier novels (Specific Gravity, Ontario Lacus, etc.), plans for a sequel, and upcoming unrelated projects including a romance and an Amalgam Man spinoff.

Philosophy has spent thousands of years trying to teach us how to live well. But the deeper you go, the darker it gets. So what's the point? What can we take from all that heaviness—and how do we find beauty in the darkness to make our own lives better? Expect to learn if philosophy always meant to be practically applicable, or if that is that a modern reinterpretation, which ancient schools have been most unfairly ignored, which branches of philosophy should be jettisoned entirely, why everyone hate philosophy of mind, the differences between academic and practical philosophy, the darkest philosophies you've probably never heard of, why modern discourse always feel ironic and why no one speaks earnestly any more and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get Free Travel Packs, Free Liquid Vitamin D, and more from AG1 at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Get $100 off the best bloodwork analysis in America at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Timestamps: (0:00) Can Philosophy Actually Help You Live Better?

Ever wonder what the Jedi do when the lights go out? In this episode, we explore how the galaxy's defenders adapt to a new kind of battlefield — one without clarity, without trust, and maybe without hope. Alliances strain. Morality bends.

This is a powerful episode of The Appraiser's Advocate.  In it, Timothy C. Andersen, MAI, explores what an ancient Roman legend can teach us today.  We appraisers need to practice ethics, morality, and professional courage. “Horatius at the Bridge” by Thomas Babington Macaulay tells the story of one soldier who stood alone.  His charge was to defend Rome's bridge against invading forces. Andersen draws a striking parallel between Horatius's moral stand and the modern residential real estate appraiser's duty to protect the bridge of public trust. When clients, lenders, and market pressures push for quick or biased results, the appraiser's courage and adherence to USPAP's Ethics Rule become acts of modern heroism. Through vivid storytelling, Andersen weaves together virtue ethics, Aristotle's golden mean, Aquinas's right reasoning for the right reasons, and the sacred calling of truth-telling in valuation. Listeners will discover why each credible appraisal is a defense of market integrity. How ethical resistance protects the profession.  And why impartiality, objectivity, and independence are not just regulatory words—but moral commitments. Join this 12-minute journey through history, philosophy, and professionalism—and rediscover why appraisers stand as the guardians of economic justice.  Make sure your E&O Insurance is up to date and you have an administrative law attorney on your speed dial!

Back in 2020, John caught up with author and journalist Greg Sheridan to talk about Christianity's struggles in both Australia, and the global West more broadly. However, Greg wasn't so glum on the future of the faith in a post-Christian world. Ahead of an upcoming episode on how the gospel applies to a post-Christian world, we thought now was the time to look back at what Greg had to say.

Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.1.     What do you find yourself condemning other people for? Do you ever do that, or something similar?2.     When you find yourself doing or saying something you condemn in other people, how do you respond?3.     Do you agree with Paul that everyone has a basic morality written on their hearts? What does that mean for the average person, Christian or Non-Christian?4.     What are you go-to excuses for yourself, why the rules don't fully apply to you in a particular situation?5.     In what situations or to which people do you have trouble apologizing?6.     Does Jesus becoming weak and vulnerable for you make it easier to repent to him and others? 7.     Do you ever find yourself thinking or acting like God grades on a curve? Why is it important that God is impartial?

December 16th will mark the 250th birthday of the renowned English novelist Jane Austen, and “Janeites” (as her fans call themselves) are aflutter worldwide. In this episode of the TRADITION Podcast Mali Brofsky chats with Yaffa Aranoff about her recent essay “The Perils of Gentle Selfishness: Jane Austen's Emma and Halakhic Morality,” TRADITION 57:1 (Winter 2025). Brofsky and Aranoff are both avid lovers of Austen's writing, and in this conversation they discuss  how her novel Emma interacts with Aranoff's reading of Hazal's understanding of the principle to not “put a stumbling block before the blind,” revealing the depths of Austen's wisdom and Hazal's ethical sensitivity. The conversation concludes with a few words about Austen's literary skill as it is conveyed through Mansfield Park, which was Brofsky's pick for our 2025 Summer Book Endorsements.  They also consider Austen's philosophy of virtue and the ways it is conveyed in her writing. Altogether, this episode serves as a demonstration of engagement with “the best” in literature, showing how it can redound to our growth as thinking religious beings. Yaffa Aranoff teaches at Midreshet Lindenbaum's Darcheynu program and at other institutions in Jerusalem. Mali Brofsky, a member of TRADITION's editorial board, is a senior faculty member at MMY and a social worker in private practice.

A recent article tries to explain why so many politically active Christians behave unchristianly in the public square by differentiating “vertical” and “horizontal” sources of morality.

Why do people refuse to say what they see, and, what everyone knows…whether or not they're willing to acknowledge it? Is there some benefit to keeping quiet, adhering to the “unwritten rules,” and, is there a time and place to break tradition? Today, I'm joined by Harvard professor, Dr. Steven Pinker to answer these questions. We also discuss the difference between common knowledge and common wisdom, whether or not it's hypocrisy to stay quiet about the unwritten rules, when to be radically honest or complacently quiet, how to judge risk in your honesty, how the “Abeline Paradox” will serve you, and the importance of male initiation. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Welcome and introduction to Steven Pinker 00:45 – Defining “common knowledge” vs. “common sense” 03:11 – “Don't ask, don't tell” and social hypocrisy 07:46 – Cultural shifts and the meaning of hypocrisy 09:41 – Morality, religion, and policy contradictions 11:21 – Hidden hypocrisies: paper bags and escort services 14:07 – How common knowledge shapes power (Taiwan example) 17:05 – “Coming out” and the social costs of honesty 20:10 – Honesty vs. tact in relationships 23:13 – Learning social nuance: autism and empathy 31:00 – Layers of communication and meaning 34:50 – The Abilene paradox and pluralistic ignorance 38:02 – How silence empowers repression 42:42 – Conformity and social conditioning 44:06 – Building virtuous influence as men 47:22 – Civilizing young men and the role of masculinity 51:48 – The crisis of modern manhood 54:08 – Ruthless honesty with compassion (closing) Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B sits down with super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and special guest Glasses Malone for a bold, thought-provoking, and humor-filled exploration of culture, community, and connection. The conversation kicks off with a spirited discussion about the Powerball lottery and the fantasies it fuels [01:24], as the crew reflects on how sudden wealth can amplify values—or expose insecurities. From there, they shift into a sharp critique of community ownership and responsibility [02:47], questioning what true “buy back the block” movements look like in practice and who actually benefits when outsiders invest in Black neighborhoods. The dialogue takes a playful yet insightful turn with a dive into celebrity gossip and gender dynamics [03:41], using pop culture as a lens to unpack deeper truths about fame, loyalty, and the human desire for validation. Glasses Maloneoffers a compelling perspective on the identity of hip hop and cultural authenticity [05:38], reminding listeners that the genre’s foundation lies in truth-telling and community representation, not algorithms or vanity metrics. As the episode progresses, the hosts unpack the nature of relationships and accountability [12:41], questioning how much transparency partners owe each other and how past experiences shape current dynamics. This seamlessly leads into navigating fame and public perception [20:06], with reflections on how visibility alters personal relationships—particularly in the age of social media. The group then circles back to a fan-favorite question: “What would you do if you actually won the lottery?” [23:39], sparking an honest debate about money’s impact on morality and motivation. A recurring theme of giving back and community impact emerges [29:53], as Mandii and her guests emphasize the importance of reciprocity and responsible leadership. That message is echoed in their dissection of the Turkey Leg Hut controversy [34:19], a heated conversation about respectability politics, community standards, and the tension between cultural pride and public image. The tone shifts as the panel examines men’s insecurities around women’s pasts [41:20], tying it to the broader complexity of romantic relationships [50:00] and the unrealistic expectations often placed on women in love and life. The discussion deepens further with Kanye West’s ongoing struggle with fame and mental health [53:22], exploring how the pressures of celebrity amplify emotional vulnerabilities and distort public empathy. This leads naturally into a sharp analysis of power dynamics in relationships [59:27], where the hosts explore how ego, gender norms, and social conditioning influence control and communication. From there, they open the floor to conversations around sexual education and representation [01:04:50], acknowledging how misinformation and stigma still shape public discourse—particularly in communities of color. In a standout moment, they reflect on Snoop Dogg’s evolving views on LGBTQ+ representation [01:15:21], celebrating growth while confronting the cultural hurdles that make such progress difficult. The episode concludes with a nuanced discussion on tourism in underprivileged communities [01:23:18], questioning the ethics of cultural consumption versus contribution, and challenging listeners to think critically about how they engage with spaces that aren’t their own. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Glasses Malone @glassesloc Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Iran's Women-Led Uprising: Origins, Brutality, and Defiance. Nilo Tabrizy discusses how the Iranian women-led uprising, detailed in For the Sun After Long Nights, was triggered by the 2022 murder of Mahsa Amini by the morality police. The slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" (Zan, Zendegi, Azadi) is the rallying cry. The regime's brutality is severe, suppressing protests through executions. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) acts as an octopus, maintaining control across society. Defiance continues today, demonstrated by women actively ignoring state-mandated dress codes. 1898 TEHRAN
