Podcasts about paradoxes

In this episode, Aaron Simmons stepped up to host this conversation with Robert Talisse while I'm leading the Bonhoeffer travel-learning trip. They unpack one of the most pressing issues of our time - this wild paradox where the very thing democracy needs (us banding together with like-minded folks to get stuff done) is also the thing that's slowly destroying our ability to see people who disagree with us as actual human beings worth listening to. Rob brilliantly unpacked how we've gotten to this place where our political identities have become so central to who we are that we'd rather our kids marry someone of a different faith than someone who votes differently, and how belief polarization turns us into these echo-chamber dwellers who can't imagine that reasonable people could possibly disagree with us. But here's the beautiful thing - they didn't just diagnose the problem; they talked about hope, about finding spaces where we can be human together without politics being the main event, like Aaron's MAGA-flag camping story. This conversation is exactly why we're doing the Democracy in Tension Summit this summer, because we need to figure out how to navigate these tensions without losing our souls or our democracy in the process. ONLINE SUMMIT:⁠⁠ Democracy in Tension - NAVIGATING THE INTERLOCKING CRISES OF DEMOCRACY AND RELIGION ⁠⁠ Democracy today faces profound challenges – polarization, inequality, populist authoritarianism, and widespread cynicism are eroding the foundations of democratic life. Yet, what if democracy's greatest strength lies not in eliminating these tensions, but in productively embracing them?The summit will navigate the complex terrain between political equality and social justice, liberal freedom and democratic sovereignty, and ethical demands and political action.

Zephyr Energy PLC (AIM:ZPHR, OTCQB:ZPHRF) CEO Colin Harrington talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's oversubscribed £10.5 million equity raise, strategic acquisition in the Rocky Mountains, and the future development of its Paradox Basin assets. Harrington outlined the rationale for the oversubscribed equity raise, emphasising the alignment with multiple catalysts, including a strong Paradox well result, a significant commitment from a US investor to support Williston drilling, and the acquisition of synergistic assets. He confirmed, “Every single member of the board, every single member of the senior management team has contributed into this raise, to almost $1 million of capital.” The $7.3 million Rocky Mountain acquisition is expected to deliver immediate cash flow and production growth. The assets produce around 400 barrels per day with low decline and are operated by known firms like EOG and Continental. The deal also brings forward 13 new well proposals, which will be funded through a private equity partner. On the Paradox Basin, Harrington said capital from the raise would go toward infrastructure and workovers aimed at bringing the wells into production. He noted potential third-party interest in gas offtake, including cryptocurrency miners and CNG users. A competent person's report (CPR) is underway, and the company is starting partnership discussions to accelerate development. Harrington addressed market rumours regarding asset impairments, clarifying that the anticipated write-down is a non-cash accounting adjustment unrelated to bank debt.

Have you ever scrolled endlessly through your phone, eaten something “comforting,” or binged a show—only to feel emptier afterward?Do you ever wonder why, despite having so many conveniences at your fingertips, you still feel overwhelmed, scattered, or strangely unsatisfied?You're not broken.There's actually a reason behind this — and it has everything to do with your dopamine levels.In this week's episode I unpack the paradox of instant pleasure in modern life—why we're more “comfortable” than ever and yet more anxious, distracted, and disconnected.Here's what we'll talk:Why modern life is overloaded with dopamine—and how that's affecting your mood, motivation, and ability to focus.How the pain/pleasure balance in the brain silently sabotages mental health and relationships.Two simple practices to reset your nervous system, increase your peace, and reconnect to what truly matters.“I firmly believe that the people who succeed in the next generation (our children) will be those that learn how to control and manage their attention. That is going to be the currency of the future.” ~ Dr. Kavetha SundaramoorthyThis episode is especially important for anyone navigating technology, parenting, burnout, or simply trying to stay present in a hyper-stimulated world.Here's to finding joy not in the instant, but in the meaningful.FREE tools:Get FREE access to my ‘Conflict Cure' mini-course, plus weekly relationship tools delivered straight to your inbox —> https://bit.ly/RelationalIQ-NewsletterNeed more customized support?

In this episode, we're joined once again by Giles Garcia, head coach of Ronin Grappling in Glasgow, to tackle the complex topic of living your values in Jiu-Jitsu. Giles explores the challenges coaches and students face when trying to uphold personal and gym-wide values, especially in situations involving discrimination, safety, and accountability. Giles shares candid experiences from his own gym, emphasizing the importance of fostering a culture rooted in inclusion, respect, and trust. Giles dives into how values must be enforced consistently, even when it's uncomfortable or financially inconvenient, and how both coaches and students have the power—and responsibility—to speak up when those values are threatened.Follow Giles on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/el_guancheTrain with Giles at Ronin Grappling in Glasgow:https://roningrappling.com/Learn online with Giles at BJJ Codex:https://www.bjjcodex.com/Mental models discussed in this episode:Normalizationhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/normalization/First Principleshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/first-principles/The Golden Rulehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/golden-rule/Precommitmentshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/precommitments/Paradox of Tolerancehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/paradox-of-tolerance/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.

What happens when faith meets the challenges of modern America? Jesse Cope takes listeners on a deeply reflective journey through spiritual disciplines, biblical prophecy, and the religious foundations of American identity.The episode opens with a crucial question: "Have you made time for God today?" This simple yet profound challenge sets the tone for an exploration of how Bible literacy serves as our best defense against cultural confusion and spiritual deception. Drawing from Revelation 13, Jesse unpacks the nature of end-times deception while emphasizing that our only true hope lies in relationship with Christ.At the heart of the episode lies what Jesse calls "the single most important decision you will ever make" – accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. With pastoral warmth, he walks through this life-changing choice, reminding listeners that salvation comes through Christ's work, not our own perfection or performance.History comes alive as Jesse reveals how America's founding fathers – even those often labeled mere deists – saw themselves as modern-day Israelites escaping tyranny. The proposed national seal featuring Moses parting the Red Sea with the motto "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God" challenges modern attempts to separate American governance from its Judeo-Christian roots.The episode takes a sobering turn examining how ideologies that claim to seek "peaceful coexistence" often reveal their true nature once gaining power. Through historical examples from the Inquisition to modern political movements, Jesse highlights why defending liberty requires vigilance against those who would ultimately suppress it.Join us for an episode that will strengthen your faith, deepen your understanding of American history, and equip you with spiritual wisdom for navigating our challenging cultural landscape. How will you respond to the call to make time for God in your daily life?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Heart Matters - Taming the Tongue | Aimee Talbot | Paradox Church Sunday Gathering 

This episode was originally released on April 13th, 2017. You love your partner, you love your career... but they're pulling you in different directions. What do you do? Is it foolish to put your career on hold for the sake of your relationship? Or is it more foolish to give up a great relationship for the sake of your career? Or, is there a way to have both? The Sugars discuss two letters from women in relatively new relationships who are having trouble deciding what to prioritize. They have help from psychotherapist and sociologist Leslie Bell, author of Hard to Get: 20-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom.

Can we ever really know Primo Levi? We know his books, of course, especially If This Is A Man, the astonishing account of his survival from Auschwitz. But what, then, of his apparent suicide in 1987? How can a man who miraculously survived Auschwitz take his own life forty years later? That's one of the questions that Joseph Olshan asks in Milo's Reckoning, a new novel about Levi, suicide and our own unknowability. Olshan, himself deeply affected by Primo Levi's death when he first heard the news during a newspaper interview in Italy, explores the profound mystery of human nature and the limits of what we can truly understand about others, even those, like Levi, whose experiences have been supposedly laid bare in their autobiographical work. 5 takeaways1. Suicide is often impulsive, not premeditated Most suicides happen in the spur of the moment when people "snap" under pressure, rather than being carefully planned decisions. The majority don't even leave notes, contrary to popular belief.2. Personal trauma shaped Olshan's literary obsessions Olshan's lifelong fascination with suicide stems from witnessing a child's drowning at age six, followed by the suicides of an influential college professor and his aunt - experiences that ultimately inspired Milo's Reckoning.3. We can never fully know another person Even when someone writes intimately about their experiences, as Levi did about Auschwitz, we still can't truly understand their inner life or predict their future actions - hence the shock of Levi's apparent suicide.4. Language barriers limit authentic cultural understanding Olshan argues that American writers who spend brief periods abroad without knowing the local language cannot authentically capture those cultures, emphasizing the importance of linguistic fluency for true cultural insight.5. Too much self-knowledge may be dangerous Olshan suggests that suicide might result from excessive self-awareness - people who contemplate life's inequities and their own perceived deficiencies too deeply may become overwhelmed by the world's suffering and their place in it.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Honor Jones' debut novel, “Sleep,” begins in the damp undergrowth of a blackberry bush, where main character Margaret is playing a game. It's a quintessential childhood moment that ends with trauma that marks her forever. But like many kids, Margaret doesn't quite know how to hold this painful thing, and the adults in her life are no help. So she stuffs it and believes it will stay buried, where it can harm no one.And then she becomes a mother. Jones asks many psychological questions in “Sleep.” Maybe the most poignant: How does a parent keep their own trauma from hurting their kids? How do you raise a child to be safe without infecting them with a sense of fear?This week, on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Jones joins host Kerri Miller to talk about that, as well as the power of secrets, the complexities of mother-daughter relationships and the tenuous balance between protection and hypervigilance. Guest: Honor Jones is a senior editor at The Atlantic and a writer. Her debut novel, “Sleep,” was named “one of the best summer reads of 2025” by the Oprah Book Club.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

In this episode of Design Of, Jerry shares how his Japanese American heritage, his parents' experience with internment, and his lifelong creative practice have shaped the way he see, and responds to, the world. This is a conversation for leaders, creators, and anyone navigating complexity. Jerry doesn't just talk about ideas, he embodies a way of thinking that invites reflection, connection, and change. You'll hear: + Why embracing uncertainty can lead to more authentic leadership + How silence and heritage shape our voice, and our responsibility vWhat it means to create from both logic and intuition + How storytelling, metaphor, and vulnerability unlock deeper trust + And why making space for meaning is essential to resilience and growth One of the most powerful ideas Jerry shares is this: “Your thinking is genesis, and your actions are contagious. So what is worth doing?” Whether you're building a business, guiding a team, or simply trying to live with more intention, this conversation is a meaningful invitation to pause, look closer, and move forward with greater clarity.

In the finale of Lecture 6, we wrap up the reflections on Re-Imagining the Caribbean - Understanding the Caribbean – Beyond the Myths and Into the Margins:...We pick up from Point 33. DIASPORAS AND DISPLACEMENT• African Diaspora: peoples of African descent living outside Africa.• Caribbean Diaspora: particularly Caribbean people of African descent scattered across the globe.• These diasporas still carry the black position and face discrimination, suspicion, and containment.“They are aliens with sharp teeth—feared not for their failure but for their potential.”________________________________________4. DARK GHETTOES & INTERNALIZED MALADY• Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettos”:o Exist physically and psychologically.o Not just urban slums but socio-economic prisons.o Seen in Philly, Kingston, Port of Spain—spaces where people are victims of fear, guilt, and greed.o Structural conditions: overcrowding, poverty, crime.o Psychological toll: despair, self-hate, compensatory bravado.________________________________________5. POSTCOLONIALISM AND THE VEIL THAT LINGERS• Postcolonialism ≠ Post-colonyo It's not the end of colonization, but the lingering effects—economic, cultural, psychological.o Fanon: both white and Black are trapped—one in superiority, the other in inferiority.o The need for tabula rasa—to begin anew.• Revolutions and the Paradox of Independenceo Haiti and Cuba led true revolutions—but remained outside international community comfort zones.o Their struggle reflects the cost of radical freedom.________________________________________6. CENTER VS. PERIPHERY – WHOSE CULTURE MATTERS?• Homi Bhabha – “Location of Culture”:o The periphery: marginal voices, rejected traditions.o The center: dominant culture, normalized Eurocentric standards.• Rastas, Revivalists, African spirituality = periphery.• Skin lightening, accent training, rejection of roots = symptom of internalized colonialism.________________________________________HANDOUT: Tracing Caribbean History – Before Columbus• Challenge the narrative: Begin with victory, not defeat.• Explore:o Ivan Van Sertima – They Came Before Columbus.o Ancient African navigators, civilizations that predate European contact.________________________________________DISCUSSION & MEDIA:• Video Segment: Ivan Van Sertima• Handout Discussion: Follow timeline through slavery, indenture, resistance, revolution.This is Episode 6 of the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series Summer 2025 on The Neoliberal Round by Renaldo McKenzieRev.

Alot of people today are worried about how divided the United States seems. But what if that very division—when balanced and not extreme—is actually part of what makes us successful? After all, diversity implies a range of differences, and in many ways, ‘division' and ‘diversity' share the same roots: being distinct, varied, not all the same. The real danger isn't in being different—it's in becoming so polarized that we stop listening to each other. Diversity can make us stronger. Polarization, on the other hand, pulls us apart.In this episode of The Collective Perspective, hosts Jeff and Travis dive into the emotional, cultural, and spiritual cost of division in modern America. This isn't just about politics—this is about fractured families, broken churches, community distrust, and a deep erosion of collective hope.Most importantly, we offer a vision of how to break the cycle—through humility, curiosity, shared experiences, and honest conversations. From veterans working with young activists to faith-based efforts bridging gaps, this episode highlights how ordinary people can take small steps that make a big difference.Because unity doesn't get handed down.

I'll never forget September 2nd, 2015 - the exact date is burned into my memory. I was in the other room while family was visiting, secretly doing my esoteric studying because I didn't want to scare my wife with my interests. Then I received a simple email with the subject "Mind expanding material" and a link to llresearch.com. When I clicked on that link, something extraordinary happened. It was as if someone physically moved my face to focus on a subtitle that read "Are you a wanderer?" I felt almost compelled - like something overtook my body and forced me to click. What I read there was so profound it literally sent me into what felt like a new dimension for two hours. The message was simple but powerful: "You are not alone." It spoke about souls from higher densities who had volunteered for a mission in response to Earth's cries of confusion and pain. This completely blew my mind because I'd never told anyone about my childhood fascination with aliens, out-of-body experiences, telepathy, Atlantis, and pyramids. As a kid in rural Texas, I used to hide esoteric magazines like other kids hid inappropriate material. I even told my parents in first grade after a UFO encounter that I wasn't really from here - and my dad just said "Yeah, we know." That night I sat in silence and darkness, tears streaming down my face for two hours. I experienced a full Kundalini awakening - energy rising and popping at the top of my head, followed by an energetic shift that lasted three weeks. This launched me into studying the Law of One material with incredible fervor. Broader Themes from the Discussion The Nature of Wanderers: The group explored the concept from the Law of One material describing wanderers as souls primarily from sixth density who volunteer to incarnate on Earth to help with the planet's spiritual evolution. These souls come from unified social memory complexes and take great risk in forgetting their true nature to serve here. Universal Experience of Alienation: Multiple participants shared experiences of feeling different, not fitting in, or sensing they don't belong on Earth. This alienation often begins in childhood and includes heightened sensitivity to energies, emotions, and the suffering of others. Spiritual Awakening Journeys: Several people described profound spiritual experiences, kundalini awakenings, and moments of cosmic consciousness that confirmed their sense of being here for a larger purpose. The Challenge of Sensitivity: Many discussed the difficulty of being highly sensitive - picking up on others' emotions, collective suffering, and discordant energies. This sensitivity can be overwhelming and isolating. Internal Work as Primary Mission: A key theme emphasized that the most important work wanderers can do is internal - knowing themselves, accepting themselves, and becoming integrated before attempting to serve others. Multiple participants noted that external service without this foundation can actually cause harm. Finding Community: The discussion highlighted how meaningful it is to find others who understand these experiences, providing validation and relief from the loneliness that often accompanies the spiritual path. The Paradox of Attachment: While the wanderer identity can be deeply validating, there was recognition that ultimately it doesn't matter - what matters is simply being authentic and serving with full presence, regardless of cosmic origins. Purification and Release: The group explored how many spiritually-oriented people seem to be here to release and purify rather than accumulate, often experiencing challenges that serve a greater cleansing purpose for collective consciousness. The overarching message was one of solidarity among seekers who feel called to something greater, while acknowledging both the gifts and challenges that come with spiritual sensitivity and service.

You are highly emotionally sensitive. This allows you to feel deeply. Sometimes those feelings are based on joy and feel good, and at other times, you feel negative emotions, which feel bad. This system allows you to understand when you are aligned and when you're in resistance. As you become more aligned and offer less resistance, you become even more sensitive. This is The Sensitivity Paradox. If you didn't feel your emotions, you wouldn't be able to understand when you're aligned compared to when you're in resistance. You wouldn't be able to process limiting beliefs or act on inspiration. Your emotional sensitivity is the key to everything you truly want. So if you're becoming even more emotionally sensitive, it's a very good sign.

Ever notice how you know exactly what would make you feel better, but somehow never actually do it? This episode tackles the self-care paradox that's messing with every physician I know. We're wired to respond to urgency, but self-care isn't urgent - so it gets pushed to "later" and later never comes. I'll tell you why your medical training is working against you here, how to think about outcomes instead of tasks, and share my simple morning routine that creates spaciousness even on tough days. Perfect for any physician who's tired of running on empty and ready to stop treating herself worse than her patients. Listen today and share with someone who may need this.

Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.

Visit https://www.economist.com/toe Professor Elan Barenholtz, cognitive scientist at Florida Atlantic University, joins TOE to discuss one of the most unsettling ideas in cognitive science: that language is a self-contained, autoregressive system with no inherent connection to the external world. In this mind-altering episode, he explains why AI's mastery of language without meaning forces us to rethink the nature of mind, perception, and reality itself...

Jesus calls us men to walk a powerful paradox—bold in truth, but gentle in spirit.  In this week's message, Pastor Jim Ramos breaks down what it looks like to be a tactical, discerning noticer of people without losing the humility and purity that makes the gospel irresistible. You've been sent out like sheep among wolves, not to be passive or polite, but to be cunning, observant, and unwavering in truth. This message is from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon. This episode is sponsored by Kids Outdoor Zone, an outdoor ministry for the men in your church. Watch your men come alive as they pass on their outdoor skills to the fatherless children in your church.

The race to develop ever-more-powerful AI is creating an unstable dynamic. It could lead us toward either dystopian centralized control or uncontrollable chaos. But there's a third option: a narrow path where technological power is matched with responsibility at every step.Sam Hammond is the chief economist at the Foundation for American Innovation. He brings a different perspective to this challenge than we do at CHT. Though he approaches AI from an innovation-first standpoint, we share a common mission on the biggest challenge facing humanity: finding and navigating this narrow path.This episode dives deep into the challenges ahead: How will AI reshape our institutions? Is complete surveillance inevitable, or can we build guardrails around it? Can our 19th-century government structures adapt fast enough, or will they be replaced by a faster moving private sector? And perhaps most importantly: how do we solve the coordination problems that could determine whether we build AI as a tool to empower humanity or as a superintelligence that we can't control?We're in the final window of choice before AI becomes fully entangled with our economy and society. This conversation explores how we might still get this right.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on X: @HumaneTech_.
