Matthew Oates is a naturalist, nature writer, and poet with a lifelong passion for butterflies. In the short sward of the Cotswolds, Matthew takes David Oakes on a journey through his fluttery past. They discuss the writers who have inspired him, from Tolkien to Wordsworth and W.H. Hudson, and share stories of other notable butterfly enthusiasts, such as Sir Winston Churchill. Matthew explains his belief that true conservation is a blend of science and love. They also delve into the realities of developing a love for nature in the boarding schools of the Swinging Sixties - a time when his generation transitioned "from Molesworth to Jimi Hendrix in just three years," leaving little room for butterflies or a life-defining obsession with the intoxicating Purple Emperor. Their conversation also addresses modern concerns for butterfly conservation, including pathogens and parasites, the risks of unsanctioned releases, and the importance of single-species ecologists - “insects shout loudest and first.” Ultimately, this is a discussion about the metamorphoses of both the past and the future.

In this episode we speak with Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness core faculty, Jack Bagby about his engagement with the philosophy of music, from Socrates, to Schopenhauer, and Bergson. We discuss Jack's recent PCC class called The Philosophy of Music and the Attunement of the Soul and dive into the complex ideas of these thinkers regarding the transformative powers of music. Jack explains how the ancient Greek's developed a complex set of tuning systems and alternative temperaments with powerful attributes and psychic properties, in which one can attune themselves to through the development of an affective psychology. Jack, and myself have been experimenting composing and improvising in these these modes and we share 3 pieces based on ancient Greek modes. PCC Forum with Jack Bagby: Tuning, Caring for, and Recollecting the Soul in Socrates' Swansongs Musical Compositions in the Episode by Jack Bagby and Jonathan Kay 1. A Paean of Apollo the Healer in Archytas' Dorian Diatonic 2. Ptolemy soft diatonic 3. A prelude to the compromises of universality. Ptolemy's Even Diatonic John (Jack) Bagby received his PhD. in philosophy from Boston College in 2021, and a B.A. in philosophy and ancient Greek language, from the Pennsylvania State University in 2013. Professor Bagby conducts research on the history of philosophy, focusing on problems related to consciousness, nature, and evolution. He has published in Epoché and Journal for the British Society of Phenomenology, on ancient Greek philosophy and phenomenology (especially Henri Bergson) and has strong research interests in Baruch Spinoza, 19th-20th century European philosophy, process philosophy, philosophy of music, and aesthetics. He is currently working on a translation of Bergson's 1902-3 Lectures at the Collège de France The History of The Idea of Time (Bloomsbury Press), and finishing up the manuscript of his monograph Integrals of Experience: Aristotle and Bergson. When thinking about complex concepts or solving textual problems, Jack loves to construct diagrams and concept maps. Between 2016-2018 he combined his love for creating visualizations with his love of Spinoza to create a website that maps the complex textual citations used in his magnum opus, the Ethics.

This week I look at the hubbub surrounding the introduction of large language chatbots, the latest evolutionarily-potent development in artificial intelligence. A long-time listener asked ChatGPT to write a poem expressing Ken Wilber's developmental stages. The result (below) is mind-blowing. How is it possible for a machine to create three verses that capture the essence […] The post Chatbot's Paean to Integral & Trump Goes to Court appeared first on The Daily Evolver.

This podcast is a presentation of The Meow Library.  Today, we present your cat with selections from Norman Mailer's "Truth and Being: Nothing and Time," first collected in The Short Fiction of Norman Mailer (1967). Many consider this to be his finest (e)sc(h)atological work.  An English-language transcript follows:[It] was left for me to return to the rootless disordered mind of our Twentieth Century to the kiss sub cauda and the Weltanschauung of the Medieval witch. The kiss sub cauda: if I had not come to recognize over the years of my career that nobility of form and aristocracy of manner are the last hope of man, I would not explain that sub cauda means beneath the tail, the hole in the highness of the cat, the place the witch would kiss when out she voyaged to visit the Demon, cats being classified by Medieval logic as the trinity of the Devil shaped into One. It is characteristic of revolutionaries, passionate lovers, the very ambitious, the greedy, the stingy, and dogs, to fix on what is excreted by others; it is typical of Narcissists, children, nuns, spinsters, misers, bankers, conservative statesmen, dictators, compulsive talkers, bores, and World War I generals accomplished at trench warfare, to be forever sniffing their own. But the intelligent and conservative among you are annoyed already for there is a tendency to my remarks which you detect with unease, you fear I lead the argument into the alp of the high immoral. I do; but perhaps my aim is to rescue morality.... We are drawn to shit because we are imperfect in our uses of the good. If all we eliminated was noxious, hopeless, used-up or never-intended, it would be a pervert or maniac who found the subject attractive. But not all of what we give away is useless.... Each cell in each existence labors like all life to make the most of what it is or can be, each cell is different, perhaps even so different as one of us from another. So perhaps we do not digest all that is good for us.... The dung of the brave is filled with riches for the fearful: precisely those subtleties, reservations, and cautions the courageous dislike are grace and wit for the coward; the offal of the fool has sweets to accelerate a genius -- a dull mind must reject those goods for fear the head would hemorrhage from unexpected and indisposbale enthusiasms.... But if excrement is the enforced marriage of Tragic Beauty and Filth, why then did God desert it, and leave our hole to the Devil, unless it is because God has hegemony over us only as we create each other. God owns the creation, but the Devil has power over all the waste -- how natural for him to lay siege where the body ends and the weak tragic air begins. Out of the asshole pour the riches of Satan -- these souls of nutrient, these lost cells spurned by the universe of the body they traversed, their being about to be cast into the lower existence of Chance.... Only Chance prospered in the Twentieth Century.... The progression was from man to merde, the Twentieth Century was a rush of all souls to search out shit, to kiss the Devil, to rescue a molecule from the brown of its extinction. For think: we began with the kiss sub cauda, the kiss to the hole of the cat. The cat -- that marriage of grace and cruelty, self-centered, alien, alone, what can the cat use in its food of tender cells, compassionate meats, philosophical greens? It cannot -- the drop of the cat is rich in royal and generous affections; one only has to absorb, and one will love with grace. Bid us farewell, now, with a final kiss sub cauda. And follow us on Twitter.

After some great interviews over the last few weeks and some chart success as well it was nice to kick back and relax with Evan and Joe on The Forums. Unfortunately Danielle had to drop out, due to work commitments but as they say the show must go on! We reviewed four new tracks from Collapser, Ropemaker, Terror Syndrome and Nebularis. The topic of the night was a really interesting chat about the options out there for music education, roles in bands and band management. So hopefully you'll enjoy this topic and if you want us to look at other topics comment below.

Frances reads poems, written by Edmund, Arthur, Aldwyn, Bernard and Cuthbert, originally published by Bernard for the family to read in the 1908 Christmas Budget. At some point the 1908 Christmas Budget was lost. In 1930 the teenage David Machell Cox, son of Arthur, was writing up his favourite family poems into a new book - 'An Anthology of Cox Frivolities, 1893-1930'. The second edition of this family compilation is safely preserved in the Bodleian Library, although its bindings have disintegrated. In this compilation I disovered these 1908 family poems, which don't appear to exist elsewhere in the Machell Cox archive.We hear about hockey, the various remedies Mother uses when her many small children were ill, and Cuthbert writes about a peculiar boy who drinks fountain pen ink.The two hockey poems describe the second match Vera played as a member of the All England Ladies' Hockey team. This match took place at Richmond in London on Wednesday 18th March 1908 and England were playing Scotland. I am still keen to see the photos of Vera which I know exist in magazines called 'Black and White' and 'Ladies' Field' - if you know of surviving editions, please get in touch.You can contact me -  machellcoxletters@gmail.comOr via Twitter - @CoxLetters.  All content is subject to copyright, and belongs to Frances Thompson and the Bodleian Library. Intro - 00:00'To the Editor' by Edmund - 09:04'Teardrops' by Bernard (theme suggested by Arthur) - 10:56'A Paean' by Arthur - 13:14'A Missionary's Meanderings in Many Metres' by Aldwyn - 23:52'Of Veronica - and Hockey' by Bernard (with the help of Macaulay, Browning and M.Arnold) - 36:08Notes on Bernard's hockey poem - 43:28'The Advantages of a Proper Education - a Poem' by Cuthbert - 52:14

It's not easy to BUILDABETTERMOUSETRAP, nor to build a better crossword gimmick, but in today's CADILLAC of a puzzle Joe DiPietro shows us how it's done -- so if you want to CLAP, or  sing a PAEAN in his honor, we would certainly understand.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 9, 2021 is: paean • PEE-un • noun 1 : a joyous song or hymn of praise, tribute, thanksgiving, or triumph 2 : a work that praises or honors its subject : encomium, tribute Examples: "But Thornton Wilder's 'Our Town,' set amid the mountains there, is no folksy paean to simplicity. It's a boldly experimental play about the beauty of the everyday, and human beings' tragic propensity to look right past that." — Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times, 6 Jan. 2021 "Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at Wharton, has a smart new book out advising us to 'Think Again,' in the words of his title. He explores in part what goes wrong when smart people are too righteous, and he offers a paean to intellectual humility." — Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times, 3 Mar. 2021 Did you know? According to the poet Homer, the Greek god Apollo sometimes took the guise of Paean, physician to the gods. The earliest musical paeans were hymns of thanksgiving and praise that were dedicated to Apollo. They were sung at events ranging from boisterous festivals to public funerals, and they were the traditional marching songs of armies heading into battle. Over time, the word became generalized, and it is now used for any kind of tribute.

Paean is a noun that means a tribute or thing that expresses enthusiastic praise. According to Greek mythology, Paean was the physician to the gods. The word later came to refer to hymns that were sung to praise the gods. More recently it is used to refer to any tribute — musical or otherwise. The article about the football team was really a paean to its head coach. It praised him for his guidance and wisdom in spite of the team’s pathetic four-and-ten record.

It's Shane, Ariana, and Aaron in the house, recapping the Colorado State game, worshipping Cassius Stanley as he deserves, and looking at where Duke goes next. Then we talk about the power of momentum, and finish with some raw anti-NCAA material in response to Memphis' James Wiseman being ruled ineligible.

WOW. What a finale! Due to the volume of listener feedback, we will expand our normal format and record two episodes for the finale of season 12. In this episode (Part 1), we work through the plot and discuss our love of The Wig, our conflicted feelings about the Saul, and the interesting redemption of President Keane. We also revel in the demise of Janet and are *delighted* that Brett O'Keefe didn't make a return appearance! Join us as we discuss the plot of the season 7 finale, 'Paean to the People'. We will record Part 2 of the finale podcast in a few days, so please get in any final feedback for the season to homelandpodcast@gmail.com!

This week we're discussing the season seven finale "Paean to the People," which elicited from all of us strong reactions ranging from disgust to pride. We break down the conclusion of Elizabeth Keane's presidency, the redemption of Carrie (and Saul?), and where the show and its characters go from here. Sighs on sighs on sighs, y'all.  (Alternate titles: "Carrie's Pain," "Full Circle," "Cherries.")  

AFTERBUZZ TV – Homeland edition, is a weekly “after show” for fans of Showtime’s Homeland. In this episode hosts Roger Corral and Lesley Corral discuss episodes 11 & 12 with Geoff Pierson. ABOUT HOMELAND: When Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody returns home following eight years in captivity, CIA agent Carrie Mathison thinks he has turned and is connected to a terror plot to be carried out on American soil, so she engages him in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that puts America's national security at risk. Later on, Carrie gets a promotion and returns to the front lines overseas. She is assigned to one of the CIA's most volatile and dangerous stations in the Middle East, where she is in the heart of battle in the war on terror. Years later, after being disillusioned and placing herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, Carrie becomes estranged from the CIA, eventually returning stateside where she works for a foundation providing aid to Muslims living in America.

Ever since I saw my first one zoom past as a boy I’ve loved TGVs. In January I travelled from one side of France to the other and back by high-speed train to get to a conference, and used the chance to try to capture some of what I love about fast trains in France. It’s a mash up of travel diary, interviews and engineering history, all stitched together with familiar SNCF noises. Close your eyes and bon voyage...

Episode 41 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and returning special guest co-host Forrest together to chat about the information available within Destiny concerning those enigmatic figures who we all love to hate - the Cryptarchs. While there isn't an overflow of information, there are certainly enough breadcrumbs to provide for an enlightening conversation - though one should be ready for some interesting trivia connections to the real world from Blue, as well as the ever present conversation about Paean and Rusty the Sweeper Bot from Willy.  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 39 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to discuss the lore surrounding the raid from the Dark Below expansion of Destiny, Crota's End. The chat was pretty busy this past week breaking down the mechanics and explaining how the aspects made sense within the lore of the game, so the team dives right into that breakdown - while also establishing that the view of Titans as glorified Grumpy Cats was a completely and utterly factual perception (much to the dismay of one of the team). Enjoy the jokes and watch out for the Paean theory at the end - it's a doozy!

Our 4th Extra Lore episode brings Blue and Justin together to discuss a very brief introduction to the Dark Souls lore - warning, while neither of us have played these games, we did try to capture as much of the basic information as we could to present to everyone (i.e., we're sorry if we missed a connection that we should have seen in game). However, as Justin proves, even the dark realm of the Dark Souls games is not a haven from the light of Paean...and misreading of the notes when it comes to particular character's names. Enjoy our brief delving into this fascinating world and hope to see you on the other side...Praise the Sun!

Episode 31 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and special guests Baxter and Forrest together to dig into the lore surrounding one of the great collection points of knowledge from the Golden Age, the Ishtar Collective. As can be expected, the tangents start immediately, but through the laughter, be prepared for some really fun discussions on the impact of the different potential time travel theories, the moral implications of the Vex simulations discussed in the Grimoire, and most importantly...what are the guests' thoughts on Paean as an individual.  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 25 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to discuss the Black Garden, a central piece of the vanilla Destiny experience - and something which still, to this day, remains a mystery. What is the Garden? What does the Black Heart intend to use the Sol Progeny for? How does Paean fit into this week's episode? We know the really important questions you want us to answer. We manage to cover the chat's theories,as well as delve into some interesting trivia about the naming of some individuals connected to the Garden, a particular set of seemingly random armor, and even discuss those little "Vex ducks" that are seen on the Pantheon crucible map.  Apologies for the spotty audio - some of the team was traveling this week, so we were relying on the amazing hotel internet for a connection, but Blue did his best to clean up the quality and trim out those pesky bursts of sound for you guys.  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 23 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and returning guest, Uni, together to discuss the nature of dreaded Weapons of Sorrow - from the very basis of what makes up the Weapons to the overarching impact of the ideas of Sword Logic and what the theories behind the creation of weapons such as Bad Juju and Red Death could mean. The nature of the known Weapons gives us the means to build up some pretty interesting theories - though even the Paean champion himself is hard pressed to find enough spinfoil to build a bridge for his lord on this one.  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 18 brings Blue, Justin, & Willy together once more to examine the lore behind the legendary figure of Lord Saladin Forge, who oversees the indomitable Iron Banner in memory of the Lords of Iron. Following the lead of the chat, we delve into the stories of the Lords of Iron and the Iron Wolves, asking question of if these powerful figures the same? Or are they two separate groups of battled hardened warriors of the Light who refused to see eye-to-eye on some unknown topic and pitted their unbreakable oaths against not only each other, but themselves? And you're going to love the weekly Paean revelation - for even in the fiery depths of the Iron Banner, there is a song to be heard. As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 16 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together once more to delve into the lore surrounding the Titan class of Guardians within Destiny. Prepare for a long one, folks - there's a ton of information (along with a detailed account of Willy's true spinfoil tale of Paean's adventures) and even though we started an hour early, the show went to it's normal cutoff time. We break down just about everything that we could think of regarding the basic information for the Titan class (ranging from subclass information all the way to the known Orders, Hosts, and most of the lesser known individual Guardians). As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.
