In this episode, Aaron discusses his book 'The Sovereign Child' and his unique approach to parenting, which is influenced by libertarian philosophy and the ideas of David Deutsch. Stupple emphasizes the importance of understanding children's reasons for their behavior rather than imposing authoritarian discipline. He advocates for a parenting style that maximizes freedom and autonomy while still providing guidance and support. The conversation also explores the importance of allowing children to make their own choices, particularly regarding food and screen time. He emphasizes the need for parents to create an engaging environment that fosters autonomy while also ensuring safety. The discussion further covers the balance between providing structure and allowing freedom, the misconceptions surrounding screen time, and the critical role of trust in parent-child relationships.Takeaways

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," I dive into a hot topic from AIDaily.us: should you be polite to your AI? I share how I've always said “please” and “thank you” to bots like ChatGPT, feeling like I get better responses—though a friend thought I was nuts. Two articles caught my eye: one says being polite wastes electricity since AI has to process extra words, while the other argues it keeps us a polite society. I'm Team Politeness! With AI and humans blending seamlessly in our daily chats, I think we should default to being nice to everyone—entity, bot, or human. Why have two modes when we can't even tell who's who anymore? I even suggest AI devs make bots give better results when we're polite, nudging us all to be kinder. YouTube fam, do you say “please” to your Alexa, or are you Team Rude? Let's talk about it!---this media is brought to you by polyscope: https://polyscopemedia.com

In the name of politeness, we often sugarcoat or dilute the truth, twisting it into something softer that we think the other person would rather hear. Instead of saying what we truly mean, we go out of our way to smooth over situations in hopes they'll land better. Here's the issue: when we start holding back our real feelings, we disconnect from ourselves and others. We step out of alignment with our inner wisdom.  Though society teaches us that maintaining peace is more important than being honest, human beings are meant to express themselves. While we may fear that speaking our minds will lead to conflict, there's nothing more harmful than sugarcoating the truth. Suppressing our true feelings damages our relationships and makes us lose integrity. It's impossible to live fully and authentically when we're weighed down by unexpressed emotions and holding back our true essence. But where does this need for politeness come from? How can we stop withholding and start expressing ourselves honestly?  In this episode, we explore how to break free from sugar coating and embrace genuine self-expression.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Truth is located in the body, not the brain  When we're in integrity, our body sensations will tell us when we're concealing instead of revealing. Why do we need to get out of our heads to gain access to this valuable raw data?  -Withdraw, withhold and project  Withholding our feelings immediately puts us in a state of disconnection. How does it lead to us projecting and turning our problem into someone else's? -Clear the debris  People think withholding is the best way to maintain a relationship. The truth is, the relationship loses its integrity when we're not honest. How do we move through a kerfuffle in our friendships without interrupting the flow of connection?   About Your Hosts Katie Hendricks, Ph.D., BC-DMT, is a pioneer in body intelligence and conscious loving with over 40 years of experience.

Today, let's explore the phrase 'happy wife, happy life' and its implications on relationships. We'll discuss the dangers of suppressing emotions, the cost of avoiding truth, and the importance of building true intimacy and honest partnerships. Real happiness in relationships comes from mutual respect, truth-telling, and emotional resilience rather than appeasement and avoidance of conflict. Key Takeaways: The phrase 'happy wife, happy life' promotes dishonesty and emotional withdrawal. Suppressing emotions leads to resentment and distance in relationships. Real partnership is built on mutual truth and respect, not just keeping one person happy. Avoiding conflict can create a false sense of peace that is unsustainable. Politeness can kill passion and intimacy in relationships. Codependency often disguises itself as love but is rooted in fear. True intimacy requires vulnerability and the ability to express needs without blame. Conflict is an opportunity for engagement, not something to avoid. Creating a culture of honest communication strengthens relationships. Reflecting on what conversations are being avoided can lead to deeper understanding.

Professor Louise Mullany talks to Michael Rosen about politeness, and how it governs our lives, from the behaviour of football managers to the different ways children can embarrass us. Why, in this country at least, is it so mortifying to mistakenly assume someone is pregnant, when in other cultures it's simply thoughtful to book two seats on a plane for a larger person.

In this powerful episode, we explore Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy through the lens of our CACTI model, focusing on Compassion vs. Politeness. We discuss how Dr. King's approach to justice and humanity emphasized the courage to act with true compassion—speaking hard truths, challenging the status quo, and dismantling systems of oppression.Join us as we unpack the difference between compassion, which seeks meaningful change, and politeness, which often prioritizes comfort over progress. We reflect on what Dr. King's teachings mean for us today and how we can lead with compassionate courage in our lives and workplaces.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, if you have a spare half hour, could we possibly suggest that you might enjoy listening to this episode on politeness? Or, if you've prefer a less polite version, "Listen! Now!" In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about what politeness and rudeness are made up of at a linguistic level. We talk about existing cultural notions of "saving face" and "losing face", aka the push and pull between our desire for help vs our desire for independence, and how they've been formalized in a classic linguistics paper. We also talk about being less polite to show intimacy, addressing God in English and French, which forms of politeness are and aren't overtly taught, different uses of "please" in UK vs US English, levels of indirectness, email etiquette across generations and subcultures, rudeness and pointing, nodding norms in Japanese and English, smiling at strangers in the US vs Europe, and how a small number of politeness ingredients can combine in so many different ways that are culturally different.

That's the mission of Jesus.”[21:02] On Evangelism, Healing, and Deliverance Reagan: “I think that's the missing link sometimes. Evangelism, healing, and deliverance go together.”Believers need to carry God's mission forward.When the gospel is preached, we set captives free from demons and heal the sick.[24:02] Casting Demons Away People might be possessed by demons without being aware of it.Occult practices can give the devil access and control over a person's flesh.God initially granted humanity authority over the Earth. However, through Adam and Eve's fall, this authority was relinquished to Satan.When we receive Christ, our allegiance shifts, and the demon no longer has legal authority over us.[33:50] Light and Darkness There is no middle ground; we must choose to be fully in the light or in the darkness.False churches claim to walk in between, yet this is impossible.Deliverance is essential and ought to be welcomed. Sammy: “Those that will claim that they are walking in between, you cannot. You're either in the light or in the darkness. As Jesus says, you're either hot or cold. You can't be lukewarm, I'll spew you out.”[36:46] Generational Curses If we want to fully experience God's grace in our lives and have an impact on others, we must identify and renounce generational hindrances.Generational curses are real and require intentional prayer and renunciation.We experience the eternal and present consequences of walking in God's freedom when we embrace the fullness of His might and break free from entanglements.[39:30] On Demonic InfluenceChristians cannot be owned by demonic influences but can be influenced or oppressed by them.Satan attempted to influence and manipulate Jesus throughout His ministry.Even Church leaders may be demonized, leading to actions that contradict God's will.Satan exploits our fleshly desires, thus emphasizing the importance of living by the Spirit to avoid giving room for demonic influence.[45:12] Completing The Book of ActsThe book of Acts is a continuation of God's work through the body of Christ, and it is still ongoing today.Believers are called to walk in the fullness of God's power until Jesus returns.The power and manifestation of God's work through the Church and believers are present and active in the world today.[51:40] Training Christians to Cast Away DemonsConfronting the demons requires wisdom and discernment. Not every instance requires immediate engagement.Deliverance from demonic influence is by invitation; It is important to discern the readiness and openness of people.Sharing the gospel and leading someone to Christ can grant authority to drive out evil and bring people freedom and joy.[58:07] On Sharing the GospelSharing the gospel is a lifestyle and should be integrated into our daily interactions.Bible studies provide an opportunity to bring individuals closer to Jesus Christ and should not be missed.Politeness should not prevent us from offering people the opportunity to give their lives to Christ.Seizing every opportunity to share the gospel helps others come to Christ and protects them from spiritual dangers.Planting seeds of truth paves the way for future opportunities to bring others closer to the Lord.[01:00:48] Demons are Always PresentDemons are constantly active and work through cultural expressions and channels.Satan wants people to think he doesn't exist, operating incognito to cause devastation.Many issues attributed to medical or psychological origins may have demonic roots that require prayer and spiritual intervention.Deliverances and healings in Africa revealed the connection between demonic influence and physical ailments, emphasizing the need for spiritual discernment.[01:08:19] Lean on God's PowerThe Holy Spirit dwells within us and can bring healing to our physical bodies.Healing extends beyond physical diseases, including emotional, mental, and spiritual renewal.Testimonies of healing serve as powerful reminders of God's faithfulness and encourage us to seek His healing touch in our lives.[01:10:40] Starting God's Mission Recognize the burning passion in your heart as a sign from the Holy Spirit.Spend time with the Lord, seek His guidance and fill yourself with the power of the Holy Spirit.Be passionate in proclaiming the gospel and His authority in every situation.Approach your church with humility and wisdom, converse with your pastor and respect their authority while sharing Lord's promptings.[01:14:35] Sammy's Book on Deliverance His ministry focuses on evangelistic outreach and regularly conducts training sessions.Sammy has been reading numerous books and is currently working on writing a comprehensive guide on deliverance.The manifestations and deliverance experienced during his campaigns highlight the power of God to expel demonic influences and bring salvation, deliverance, and grace to people's lives.[01:16:33] Biggest Miracle in Sammy's Ministry The greatest miracle is experiencing salvation and encountering the saving grace of Jesus Christ.Sammy's ministry emphasizes the importance of encountering Jesus rather than focusing purely on healing and deliverance.His ministry cherishes the powerful moments when God's work is manifested in people's lives.About Sammy WanyonyiExperienced World Missionary Leader Sammy Wanyonyi has a burning desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In today's episode, we're discussing the U.K.'s assisted dying bill, which is currently going through Parliament and would allow those with terminal illness to seek euthanasia to end their suffering.

On a happier note, we also talk about a recent Wall Street Journal article that shows that Bible sales are on the rise, especially among young people.

In this episode of English and Beyond, an intermediate-advanced English learning podcast, César and I explore the labyrinth that is British social etiquette. From a brutally honest, brutally Spanish flat inspection in Valencia to the fine-tuned overuse of “sorry” and “thank you” on the London Tube, we break down what it means to be “polite” in the UK.Is it all genuine kindness, or are Brits just world-class at passive-aggressive fakery? And how does that reconcile with the less-than-dignified behaviour of sunburnt Brits in Magaluf?Join us both as we tackle queuing etiquette, white lies, and the cultural clash of ordering a simple beer in a British pub. Packed with sharp observations, dry humour, and César's own Spanish-British perspective, this episode is a deep dive into why British politeness is both maddening and magnificent.Don't worry - listening won't require queuing. Unless you're living in Britain, in which case, feel free to line up out of habit.For a full and accurate transcript and additional learning resources, check out our website at the following link: morethanalanguage.com

In 15th and 16th century Scotland, in the highest courts of the land, you'd find esteemed poets hurling insults at each other. This was flyting, a sort of medieval equivalent of battle rap, and it was so popular at the time that the King himself wrote instructions for how to do it well. Writer and Scots language campaigner Ishbel McFarlane and historical linguist Joanna Kopaczyk explain the art of flyting, where an insult becomes slander, what's going on within the speech act of performative diss-trading, and what the legal consequences could be of being accused of witchcraft. Find out more about the episode and read the transcript at theallusionist.org/flyting.  Content note: this episode contains brief references to historical capital and corporal punishments, and discussion of insults and slurs; there is also a derogatory term for sex workers, and category A and B swears.

What if the very essence of politeness could lead you into a nightmarish scenario? Join us for an insightful episode as we compare and contrast the new American thriller "Speak No Evil" with its original Danish source material. With special guest Erica Krauss, we dive into the nuances of film performances, marketing strategies, and the surprising box office performance. Despite a strong opening of $20 million worldwide, we explore whether the intense marketing campaign caused audience fatigue, especially given the overshadowing success of "Deadpool and Wolverine."Our fresh "Cinema Showdown" format brings an exciting dimension to analyzing casting choices, narrative differences, and marketing approaches between the two films. We critique how the American version's marketing may have revealed too much, underestimating the audience's intelligence, and discuss the stark contrast in character portrayals, particularly Scoot McNairy's more pathetic and unlikable character in the remake. Erica Krauss provides her expert take on how the pacing and development of friendships differ, highlighting the deeper emotional connections in the original versus the rushed setup in the remake.Finally, we scrutinize the cinematic setting, production design, and technical elements that differentiate the two versions. From the claustrophobic woods in the Danish film to the polished manor house in its American counterpart, we discuss how these settings enhance or detract from the horror atmosphere. We also delve into the thematic elements of human behavior and boundaries, examining how politeness and the fear of confrontation play critical roles in both films. Tune in for a compelling analysis that not only contrasts these two thrillers but also reflects on broader themes of human interaction and psychological tension.Send us a textSupport the show

In today's Sharper Point Commentary Jim Sharpe talks about politcal candidates' politeness and how courtesy can help them win over voters. 

Will a medication work better if you believe and expect it to? This episode begins with some compelling evidence that having faith in a medical treatment has a real impact on just how well it works. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/placebo-effect Imagine a world where people are not polite. What would it be like if we weren't civil to each other and didn't care? Our willingness to be polite is a cornerstone of our civilization. But Lord knows, we are not all polite all the time. Are women more polite than men? Do the rules of politeness change? Can you be impolite and still be liked and admired? What are the benefits of being polite? These are some questions I tackle with Louise Mullany. She has taught the science of politeness at the University of Nottingham for the past 25 years, where she is a professor of sociolinguistics. She is also author of the book Polite: The Art of Communication at Home, at Work and in Public. (https://amzn.to/3xVN9Jo) Many parts of the job search process can be outsourced – except one. The job interview. That is all you! Whether you have to interview virtually or in-person, job interviews can be stressful. How well you perform can spell the difference between getting an offer or not. Yet, it seems many people try to “wing it.” That turns out to be a really bad idea. While it's true you can't predict what you'll be asked specifically, preparation is still a key factor according to my guest Sam Owens. He is the founder of Sam's Career Talk (https://www.samscareertalk.com/) where he provides career coaching services and helps people land their dream jobs Sam has worked as a chief marketing officer for three multi-billion-dollar companies and he is author of the book, I Hate Job Interviews: Stop Stressing. Start Performing. Get the Job You Want (https://amzn.to/4f7xJSX). I know several people who claim MSG is really bad for you. Is it really? What does the science say?

In 2012, the University of Miami philosopher Colin McGinn was accused of sexual harassment by a graduate student. When the matter became public, Pinker wrote in an open letter that McGinn was a “brilliant and distinguished scholar” and that if the University of Miami pursued disciplinary action against McGinn for “exchanging sexual banter with a graduate student,” it would “put a chill on communication between faculty and graduate students and on the openness and informality on which scholarship depends.” In our conversation, Pinker often brings up “The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature,” which, even two decades after its release, illustrates core aspects of his thinking today. The book argues that our individual behaviors — our intelligence, our sociability, our tendencies toward violence — are rooted in our genes, not just the environment in which we are raised. “.. in 2006 Pinker published a favorable review of a scientific paper which argued that Ashkenazi Jews may have evolved to have higher IQs than other racial and ethnic groups.” One of the first academics to be canceled, Pinker says, was E. O. Wilson. Wilson was a biologist and professor of evolutionary biology at Harvard. Today, he is known for two things: his award-winning work on biodiversity and his public branding as a racist. In 1975, Wilson published a book called “Sociobiology: The New Synthesis,” which argues that behaviors result from genes — “very much in the strain of work that I wrote about on human nature,” Pinker says — and stepped into a debate about scientific racism. In his book, Wilson writes that there should be a “discipline of anthropological genetics” to explore whether cultural differences are biological. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/10/27/steven-pinker-scrut/ Pinker currently serves on the E.

When our clients say “I don't know” it can be really helpful to explore what is under it. We believe all clients have the answers inside of them. However, understanding the reason for the I don't know can be so helpful.Here are some reasons:Genuine Lack of Knowledge: The most straightforward reason is that they genuinely do not know the answer to a question or lack information on a particular topic.Uncertainty: Sometimes, clients might have partial information or are unsure about the accuracy of their knowledge, so they say "I don't know" because they don't want to give the wrong answer.Seeking Validation: They may be looking for the coach to provide answers or validation rather than trusting their own insights.Avoiding Responsibility: In some cases, saying "I don't know" can be a way to avoid taking responsibility for a situation or making a decision.Self-Doubt: A lack of confidence in their own knowledge or opinions can lead them to believe they don't have the right answer.Politeness or Tact: Clients might use "I don't know" to avoid offending someone or to diplomatically navigate a sensitive topic.Deflection: It can be used to deflect a question they do not want to answer, either because it is too personal, uncomfortable, or irrelevant.Buying Time: Sometimes, saying "I don't know" gives a person time to think about a more accurate or thoughtful response.Protecting Themselves: In some situations, admitting ignorance can be a protective mechanism to avoid judgment, criticism, or conflict.Indicating Complexity: The phrase can signal that the topic is too complex to explain quickly or that the answer is not straightforward.Mentioned in this episode:To learn more about the Nurse Coach Life Academy: https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/
