Podcasts about Nihilism

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveWe live in an increasingly weird world, where the weirdness is facilitated and accelerated by the Internet. We live in a world full of instantly-available bizarre pornography and terrorist attacks inspired by misanthropic ideologies whose manifestos are published online. Katherine Dee, an Internet ethnographer, writer and friend of Wisdom of Crowds, joins Christine Emba and Shadi Hamid to talk about the recent terrorist attack on an IVF clinic in California and Christine's recent New York Times article about the social damage wrought by porn.Shadi shakes things up by posing a blunt question at the very beginning: Should we ban porn? It hurts men as well as women. Why not? Can we reconcile the ideals of liberalism with a state effort to suppress pornographic content? This question inspires Christine and Katherine to reflect about the ethics of sex work, the perils of reporting on dangerous and soul-crushing topics, as well as signs of hope in American culture.Throughout, Katherine applies her trusty reporter's eye toward making an accurate, non-judgmental and perceptive account of what's really going on with sex and ideology on the Internet. Christine, for her part, makes the case of norms and shame as useful tools for making society better. Shadi, in Socratic fashion, tests the strength of his interlocutors' arguments.In the bonus section for paid subscribers, Katherine explains the nuances of “efilism” and “promortalism”; Shadi reflects on the meaning of suffering and how belief in God changes one's approach to suffering; and Christine reflects on “cold, rational logical measure — suffering v. pleasure. Pleasure v. nothing.”Required Reading and Listening:* Christine Emba, “The Delusion of Porn's Harmlessness” (New York Times). * Katherine Dee, “An Efilist Just Bombed a Fertility Clinic.

John Vervaeke is joined by Atheist Spiritual Director, Britt Hartley to explore what happens after belief falls apart. Britt shares her personal journey through suicidal nihilism and how mysticism, resonance, and play led her to rediscover meaning and orientation in life without needing to return to religion. John and Britt challenge the limits of therapeutic models, explore the difference between propositional truth and lived wisdom, and ask whether modern secular culture has lost the capacity to sustain sacredness. This Lectern is a philosophical act of compassion, bridging ancient spiritual technologies and contemporary existential pain. John and Britt offer pathways for transformation that bypass belief while restoring depth, connectedness, and awe.

Sometimes in life, we choose the wrong path. When we feel like we're living a lie, it's hard to know what to do next.That's where Suzy Welch comes in. She's obsessed with helping people create lives worth living. A professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, Suzy teaches a popular class called “Becoming You,” where she takes students down a brutal, but liberating, journey to live as their authentic selves. According to Suzy's research, purpose is the key to unlocking the real you, but finding that purpose is often trickier than we imagine.I had a blast talking, and debating, with Suzy about what it means to craft a purpose-driven life. In this conversation, she shares with me the difference between passion and aptitude, the reason luck is overrated, and why so many people struggle to know their own values.To learn more about Suzy and her work, check out:her book, Becoming Youand The Becoming You Podcast with Suzy Welch

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Apr 3, 2023 Professor Matt McManus returns to Rev Left to discuss his latest book, Nietzsche and the Politics of Reaction: Essays on Liberalism, Socialism, and Aristocratic Radicalism—a provocative collection he edited featuring diverse perspectives on one of the most misunderstood thinkers in modern philosophy. We unpack Friedrich Nietzsche's actual political views, challenge the liberal and fascist misreadings, and explore what the socialist left can critically learn from him. From his attacks on Christianity and herd morality to his complex relationship with nihilism, the death of God, and radical subjectivity—we dive deep into Nietzsche's legacy and wrestle with how the left can engage him without falling into reactionary traps. A rigorous and fascinating conversation for those who want to sharpen their understanding of western philosophy and break free from lazy and shallow interpretations.   Check out more of McManus' work HERE ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE Outro Beat Prod. by flip da hood

Donald Trump launched a global trade war because he thinks America's trade deficit makes us “losers,” but does he even understand what a trade deficit is? Phil introduces a new segment full of statistics that make Kaitlyn and Skye groan. And they discuss David Brooks' new article in The Atlantic, which compares this moment in U.S. history to the era of Andrew Jackson, and offers hope for what may come after MAGA. Skye interviews Jonathan Rauch about his new book, “Cross Purposes.” Rauch, an atheist, says his antagonism toward Christianity changed when he came to see how vital it is to American democracy and why evangelicals' failure to follow Jesus is putting the whole country at risk.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Jonathan Rauch https://www.patreon.com/posts/125941930/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/126225451/ 0:00 - Show Starts   3:05 - Theme Song   3:30 - Sponsor - BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

“Our dear friend Yashoda, your son sometimes comes to our houses before the milking of the cows and releases the calves, and when the master of the house becomes angry, your son merely smiles. Sometimes He devises some process by which He steals palatable curd, butter and milk, which He then eats and drinks. When the monkeys assemble, He divides it with them, and when the monkeys have their bellies so full that they won't take more, He breaks the pots. Sometimes, if He gets no opportunity to steal butter or milk from a house, He will be angry at the householders, and for His revenge He will agitate the small children by pinching them. Then, when the children begin crying, Krishna will go away.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 10.8.29)

Grandpa Bill-Nihilism-3/27/25 GB-1. Existentialism as a Response to Nihilism:Before we dive into how existentialism can help us move 'From Angst to Action,' it's important to understand its origins, As our esteemed guest, Byron Athene, will be pointing out, existentialism emerged, in part, as a response to nihilism. Nihilism, at its core, declares that 'life is meaningless because nothing matters.' This can lead to a bleak outlook, as Byron described, where 'nothing matters so why do we care? We might as well screw everybody over and to hell with the consequences!' However, Byron also suggests a more positive interpretation: 'nothing matters so why don't we make the most of this and enjoy the short time we have as much as possible?Against this backdrop, existentialism asserts that 'life has the meaning we give to it.' As Byron so eloquently puts it, 'I think that makes clear that everybody is an existentialist whether they know it or not because we're all giving life our personal meanings and responding to them. Catholics say, this is the meaning of life. Buddhists say this is the meaning of life, so...we create meaning.2. Existential Reframing:Byron will probably also introduce us to the concept of 'existential reframing,' a powerful tool for navigating life's challenges. He contrasts this with positive reframing, which seeks to find positives in negatives. Existential reframing, that he'll explain, is 'acknowledging that life is infinitely more important than anything existing within it.' So, even in a less-than-ideal situation, we can recognize that 'you're in a really lucky position to be alive to have that problem.' This shift in perspective can empower us to find solutions or make the most of our circumstances."3. Absurdism:Finally, Byron will touch on absurdism, another philosophical response to the search for meaning. Absurdism suggests that 'we strive to find meaning but doing so is an absurdly impossible task because we're never going to know.' As Byron illustrates, 'We're just metaphorical ants in an ant farm on the desk of a scientist.' This perspective acknowledges the inherent limitations of human understanding."Grandpa Bill will ask Byron, Byron, with these viewpoints in mind, how does this affect the way you treat your patients, and how you view the nature of the mind?Byron can then expand on how these philosophical viewpoints inform his practice.Questions for Byron Athene:Byron, with nihilism, existentialism, and absurdism in mind, how does that affect your work with clients in the UK?How do you help clients distinguish between the nihilistic despair and the existential freedom to create meaning?Can you provide examples of how existential reframing has helped your clients navigate difficult situations?How do you address the 'absurd' in therapy, and help clients find peace with the limitations of human understanding?How does the cultural climate of the UK influence the way people approach these philosophical concepts?In your opinion, how can individuals apply these philosophical ideas to their daily lives to enhance their well-being?How does a psychoanalytic viewpoint interact with an existential viewpoint?Nihilism, Existentialism, and Absurdism: A Conversation with Byron AtheneFrom Meaninglessness to Meaning: Existentialism in Everyday LifeExistential Reframing: Turning Challenges into OpportunitiesFinding Meaning in the Absurd: A Philosophical Approach to Well-BeingThe UK Mind: Psychoanalysis and ExistentialismGrandpa Bill and Byron Athene: The Meaning of LifeFrom Angst to Action: A Philosophical Discussion#Existentialism,#Nihilism,#Absurdism,#ExistentialReframing,#Psychoanalysis,#Psychotherapy,#MentalWellness,#MeaningOfLife,#GrandpaBill,#ByronAthene,#bhsaleskennelkelpholistichealinghour ,#@billholt8792,#UKTherapy,#Philosophy,#SelfDiscovery,#PersonalGrowth,#AnxietyToAction,

We discuss the anti-democratic and reactionary nihilistic nature of the Christian nationalist movement. Christian nationalism is an ideology that functions as a tool for a leadership driven organization machine that turns mythology into political power.    Katherine's civic action toolkit recommendations are:  Mobilize the pro-democracy majority Stop purity testing   Katherine Stewart is the author of Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy. Katherine is an expert on religious nationalism and the assault on American democracy.

On critical theory and autonomy. [For the full episode, subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast] Jensen Suther, a junior fellow at Harvard working in philosophy and literature, talks to Alex H and contributing editor Alex Gourevitch about art, culture, and socialism. He also offers a riposte to previous guest Anna Kornbluh's discussion of immediacy, and its cultural forms such as autoficition. What does Suther think Kornbluh gets wrong – and right – in her critique of contemporary culture? How autonomous is art from society and the economy? To what extent can we tie cultural forms to deep changes in the economy? What is the right response to the historical defeat of the working class? What does it mean for critical theory? What is the difference between immanent critique and critique from the outside – and how dow this relate to freedom? And what does it matter if you read Hegel right?

So this started with a Substack note that semi-blew up, and it pushed me to expand on something I've been thinking about for a while: rebellion, aesthetics, and how edginess functions as a kind of political currency (or all of those combined do). I talk about Red Scare. But this isn't just about them. It's about the death of irony, the collapse of aesthetics into ideology, and what happens when leftist politics forget how to maintain an edge in favor of an oversimplified and marginalizing ethic. I talk jouissance (Lacan and stuff), performative rebellion, reactionary grifting, and the slow shift of “edgy” from leftist cultural critique to right-wing nihilism. I touch on why moral posturing turned the liberal left into the new status quo—and why Dasha and Anna's (Red Scare ladies) vibe shift might be the most revealing political litmus test for our current cultural and political moment. This episode is about how rebellion gets hollowed out, how irony can curdle into belief, and how our politics are increasingly built not from principles, but from vibes.Are you ruled by reason…or by desire, rage, and the need for transgression? Is that really a base for a moral framework? Anyway…i'll have more stuff around this idea. I need to further develop how nihilism is at the heart of the rot….Stay curious.

Picture this: it's 2020, you're clinging to sanity, and a frozen steak your mom used to eat after school called SteakUmm is now tweeting in the hopes of turning you into a socialist. But... what? Can one be radicalized by hot dog grade meat? Is what's being sold here an idea or microwaveable meat slop?

From Meaninglessness to Meaning: 1. Existentialism as a Response to Nihilism:Before we dive into how existentialism can help us move 'From Angst to Action,' it's important to understand its origins," As our esteemed guest, Byron Athene, will be pointing out, existentialism emerged, in part, as a response to nihilism. Nihilism, at its core, declares that 'life is meaningless because nothing matters.' This can lead to a bleak outlook, as Byron described, where 'nothing matters so why do we care? We might as well screw everybody over and to hell with the consequences!' However, Byron also suggests a more positive interpretation: 'nothing matters so why don't we make the most of this and enjoy the short time we have as much as possible?Against this backdrop, existentialism asserts that 'life has the meaning we give to it.' As Byron so eloquently puts it, 'I think that makes clear that everybody is an existentialist whether they know it or not because we're all giving life our personal meanings and responding to them. Catholics say, this is the meaning of life. Buddhists say this is the meaning of life, so...we create meaning.2. Existential Reframing:Byron will probably also introduce us to the concept of 'existential reframing,' a powerful tool for navigating life's challenges. He contrasts this with positive reframing, which seeks to find positives in negatives. Existential reframing, that he'll explain, is 'acknowledging that life is infinitely more important than anything existing within it. So, even in a less-than-ideal situation, we can recognize that 'you're in a really lucky position to be alive to have that problem. This shift in perspective can empower us to find solutions or make the most of our circumstances."3. Absurdism:Finally, Byron will touch on absurdism, another philosophical response to the search for meaning. Absurdism suggests that 'we strive to find meaning but doing so is an absurdly impossible task because we're never going to know.' As Byron illustrates, 'We're just metaphorical ants in an ant farm on the desk of a scientist.' This perspective acknowledges the inherent limitations of human understanding."Grandpa Bill will ask Byron, "Byron, with these viewpoints in mind, how does this affect the way you treat your patients, and how you view the nature of the mind?"Byron can then expand on how these philosphical view points inform his practice.Questions for Byron Athene:Byron, with nihilism, existentialism, and absurdism in mind, how does that affect your work with clients in the UK?How do you help clients distinguish between the nihilistic despair and the existential freedom to create meaning?Can you provide examples of how existential reframing has helped your clients navigate difficult situations?How do you address the 'absurd' in therapy, and help clients find peace with the limitations of human understanding?How does the cultural climate of the UK influence the way people approach these philosophical concepts?In your opinion, how can individuals apply these philosophical ideas to their daily lives to enhance their well-being?How does a psychoanalytic viewpoint interact with an existential viewpoint?#Nihilism, #Existentialism, #Absurdism: A Conversation with Byron Athene#Existentialism,#Nihilism,#Absurdism,#ExistentialReframing,#Psychoanalysis,#Psychotherapy,#MentalWellness,#MeaningOfLife,#GrandpaBill,#ByronAthene,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#@billholt8792,#UKTherapy,#Philosophy,#SelfDiscovery,#PersonalGrowth,#AnxietyToAction,Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare

Subscriber-only episodeIn this recorded X space, I discuss the history and the philosophy of the crisis of the sciences that emerged in the late 18th and continued through the 19th century and into the 20th century.This discussion is meant as a broad introductory survey to where things stand presently with regard to science in its relationship to philosophy which justifies why my entire "Technology and Nihilism" series is relevant for all of us, despite our own various fields of study and particular areas in interest in philosophy.

When faced with the question "If everything is meaningless, why bother?" how do we push forward as creatives and start or resume sharing our work again?Seth and Aaron explore what it means to create in a world that often feels saturated, overwhelming, and cosmically insignificant. They reflect on their own experiences of creative nihilism, the creeping sense that no creative act really matters in the grand scheme of things, and how they've worked to overcome the detachment that can stem from that feeling.What starts as a discussion about social media and the challenges of sharing work evolves into an exploration of purpose, authenticity, and how to reframe the act of creating. From letting go of perfectionism to finding joy in absurdity, Seth and Aaron remind us that the antidote to the despair of meaninglessness is to make your own meaning, however small or silly it may seem.Expect to Learn:- How meaninglessness can be an opportunity to create your own purpose.- How to get to a place where you don't feel like you're "ego sharing" your work- To combat nihilism by experimenting with absurd or whimsical ideas.- How to view "sharing your work" as the final stage in the creative process.- To reconnect with people when you're detached and struggling to relate.Sponsor:Thanks to WhiteWall for being our lead sponsor this episode!

Rival World Views - Nihilism, Existentialism, Post Modernism by Taylors FBC

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to analyze discontent in the Steelers fan base over coach Mike Tomlin, owner Art Rooney II and the franchise's recent drought of NFL playoff wins. Do any moves GM Omar Khan could make this offseason matter as long as Tomlin is the coach and Rooney is the owner? Or will the franchise be doomed until big changes are made? And if there's hope, what moves could Khan make in NFL free agency, the NFL draft or the trade market to improve the mood of the fan base? Is it a splash at quarterback with options including Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers? A move for a big-time receiver opposite George Pickens? A new anchor for the defensive line? Or a proven cornerback opposite Joey Porter Jr.? Our duo ponders those questions, then pivots to Penguins. What's the most disappointing piece of their performance coming out of the break for the 4 Nations Face-off? Is it the goaltending with Joel Blomqvist and Alex Nedeljkovic? Struggling defensemen like Erik Karlsson? Or simply the effort level surrounding stars like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? Then in the third segment, airing on the new PG Pirates YouTube channel, Adam and Jason toss around some Pirates topics. Would it make sense to sign free agent first baseman Anthony Rizzo, given the team's need at that position following the Spencer Horwitz injury? Or is Rizzo and other free agent options like Jose Abreu or Yuli Gurriel too far past their prime? What does Jason think of the Andrew Heaney signing? And what does it mean for the depth of the rotation? Could the Pirates get creative to try to limit innings for Paul Skenes, Jared Jones and Mitch Keller?

You might think you own the things in your life, but the truth is, you don't. Everything—your money, your relationships, even your skills—needs constant investment to keep. If you stop "paying the rent," it's gone. In this episode, I'll break down what that really means and why nothing is ever truly yours. Show Notes: [03:31]#1 Anything you have to continually pay in order to keep it is not yours.  [07:03]#2 Your physical body is not yours.  [16:08]#3 Your mind and your way of thinking is rented.

In this episode I am once again joined by Mary Shutan: author, occultist, and spiritual teacher. Mary discusses her new book “Shadow Work for the Soul”, shares her lifelong fascination with the psychological power of dark fairytales, and explains the function of social masks and personae. Mary remarks on a notable increase in spiritual emergencies, a rise in nihilism and the “dark feminine”, and offers advice for those facing spiritual crisis. Mary then takes a deep dive into shadow work, challenges common misconceptions, and offers surprising reflections on both new age masculine-feminine trends and “The Work” of Byron Katie. Mary also reveals how to perceive the shadow in popular culture, warns about the danger of spiritual bypass, and explains how to identify and disarm the ego defences to go beyond one's limitations. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep294-shadow-work-for-the-soul-mary-shutan Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

Multivitamin and multimineral supplements have long been a topic of both scientific inquiry and public debate. While they are often marketed as convenient solutions for achieving nutritional adequacy, their true value remains contentious. Are these supplements essential insurance policies against nutrient deficiencies, or are they merely expensive placebos? Importantly, how should we weigh their potential benefits against the lack of robust evidence for long-term health outcomes such as reduced mortality or chronic disease risk? These questions demand a nuanced exploration, grounded in the context of specific populations and individual needs. Ultimately, the role of multivitamin supplements cannot be assessed in isolation but must be viewed through the lens of context and specificity. How do we balance the biological plausibility of benefits against the variability of individual diets, the presence of fortification policies, and the challenges of achieving dietary adequacy in certain life stages? These considerations invite a more thoughtful and less binary discussion about whether, when, and for whom multivitamins are a worthwhile addition to the diet.

Trump wants us to believe that nothing matters, so we'll brush off all his corruption and grifting as though everybody does it. That's what aspiring authoritarians always do, including the guy who didn't place his hand on a Bible when he was sworn in today. Meanwhile, Trump just launched probably the biggest scam in the history of the presidency with his memecoin—ordinary people will lose real money, nothing like the small-ball amounts he scoops up with his shoes, mugs, and digital baseball cards. Plus, Biden's pardons, Trump's Day One executive orders, and seizing the means of content production with TikTok.

John is joined by his pal Tim Miller—OG Never Trumper and host of The Bulwark Podcast—for an extended therapy session a week out from the start of Donald Trump's second term. Tim explains why he finds it impossible to care about Trump non-sentence sentencing or the impending release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump's role in January 6; his take on the collective tongue bath being given 45/47 by the tech billionaire class; and the long-run political implications of the face-off between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk. Tim also describes his strategy for combating his impulses towards nihilism in the face of what Trump 2.0 signifies and may hold in store: from hitting Tipitina's and gorging himself on crawfish to trekking to the UK to see Oasis reunite (hopefully!) this summer.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
