Bilginin korkunç bir hızda aktığı zamanlardayız. Teknoloji ve sosyal medyanın gelişimi sayesinde bilgiye ulaşmak, hiç bu kadar kolay olmamıştı. Fakat iletişimin bu kadar kolay olmasının bazı olumsuz etkileri de var elbette. Örneğin post-truth, yani gerçek ötesi kavramı... Artık bir bilginin doğru veya yanlış olduğunu anlamak eskisi kadar kolay değil. Hatta yalan olduğunu içten içe bildiğimiz bazı bilgileri büyütebiliyor, o duvara bir tuğla da biz koyabiliyoruz. 111 Hz'in bu bölümünde post-truth çağında doğru bilgiye nasıl ulaşabileceğimiz üzerine düşünüyoruz. Yalan haberlere ya da bilgilere neden inandığımızı ve bunlara karşı nasıl önlemler alabileceğimizi araştırıyoruz.Sunan: Barış ÖzcanHazırlayan: Özgür YılgürSes Tasarım ve Kurgu: Metin BozkurtYapımcı: Podbee Media------- Podbee Sunar -------Bu podcast, getirfinans hakkında reklam içerir.getirfinans iyi faizi vade beklemeden günlük kazandırır.

THE CHRONICLES OF A CHRIST DISCIPLE. LIVING FOR CHRIST IN A POST-TRUTH ERA. PART 17. JEREMIAH 10:23. I KNOW, O LORD, THAT A MAN'S WAY IS NOT HIS OWN; NO ONE WHO WALKS DIRECTS HIS OWN STEPS. 24 CORRECT ME, O LORD, BUT ONLY WITH JUSTICE—NOT IN YOUR ANGER, OR YOU WILL BRING ME TO NOTHING. Our theological perception of God and comprehension of how He operates in our lives significantly impact how we respond to His will. If we genuinely trust Him, we will receive the necessary grace, wisdom, courage, and passion to fulfill His will. The Father's will always come with the means to accomplish it. The intention of the Lord is to correct our flawed view of Him and His purpose. This correction applies not only to our personal lives but also to His entire creation. We are told that God's providential purpose works for our good, but this doesn't mean that we will always understand the path that leads us towards His good purpose. Despite this, we must learn to trust the Lord and accept the routes He has chosen for us. One of the reasons Jesus cursed the fig tree was that it appeared to have fruit and, therefore, life to offer. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the fig tree was actually barren and had nothing to offer. Jesus saw through the facade of the fig tree and cursed it for its deceptive nature. It's important that we consider the expectations of the Lord from His church, especially in light of the current times. We often see a ministry that has the appearance of a healthy and fruitful fig tree, but when it comes to bearing fruit, it falls short. The Lord is ending this type of ministry in this season. MARK 11:12 AND ON THE NEXT DAY, THEY HAVING GONE OUT FROM BETHANY, HE WAS HUNGRY. 13 AND HAVING SEEN A FIG TREE FROM AFAR, HAVING LEAVES, HE WENT TO SEE IF PERHAPS HE WILL FIND ANYTHING ON IT.

When did giving the weather report become a political act worthy of death threats? For years, we got mad at TV weather forecasters if it rained on our picnic when they predicted a clear day. Today, just explaining the “why” behind the weather can get you fired — or even murdered.  In this recent WhoWhatWhy podcast I talk with Chris Gloninger, former chief meteorologist at KCCI-TV in Iowa, who faced this chilling reality when his climate change coverage sparked harassment and death threats. His story exposes a troubling trend: the erosion of respect for expertise and facts, even in realms as fundamental as weather reporting.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and diplomacy reporter Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. We are in day 33 of the war with Hamas and the rocket attacks in the north and south are unabated. Berman updates with what's happening in the tit-for-tat from Lebanon and explains how the war in Gaza is progressing -- for now. There has been a sharp uptick in Gazans from the northern strip making their way south. Berman explains what we are seeing and its significance. We hear about the diplomatic frontline and which ambassador has just been pulled. Berman gives a sad update on the Gazan mothers whose children have undergone surgery here and are stuck here during the war. Goren takes a step back and discusses the dangers when those taken captive in Gaza are lumped together as a topic, "the hostages." As the world marks the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, in addition to the constant Holocaust denial, there is on social media an increased presence of “massacre deniers.” Goren explains the dangers here. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

Information has been weaponized, and the ability to create false information to achieve an ideological goal has never been more easy. Political polarization, science denial, and a shining, effective conduit of dissemination (the internet) allows anyone with an agenda to recruit the like minded, and produce compelling media to reinforce bankrupt ideas. Where did information warfare originate, what are its effects, and how do we fix it?  This week's podcast discusses the book, On Disinformation: How to Fight for Truth and Protect Democracy with author Dr. Lee McIntyre. The book presents a chilling description of who creates disinformation, how subscribes to it, and its long term effect on free society. Fortunately, solutions are proposed that can help curb the penetration of disinformation, particularly as it becomes more effective through artificial intelligence.

https://thinkfuture.com | In this insightful monologue, we grapple with a disconcerting reality: our descent into a post-truth society. Faced with an onslaught of misinformation, conflicting narratives, and a polarized socio-political landscape, we find ourselves questioning the very nature of truth. Throughout this discussion, we unpack the contributing factors to this phenomenon, from the role of social media and algorithms in shaping public discourse to the erosion of trust in institutions. More importantly, we delve into the consequences of living in a post-truth society, touching on the impact on democracy, social cohesion, and our collective ability to address global challenges. But it's not all doom and gloom. This episode also explores strategies for restoring faith in truth, from fostering media literacy and critical thinking to championing transparency and accountability in information dissemination. Tune in as we traverse this complicated terrain and envision a future where truth regains its rightful place. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support

The impact of reality on the psychoanalytical treatment and on the work of renunciation of the patient and the analyst. Which realities are involved in the cure? In this episode Bernard Chervet talks about the impact of reality on psychoanalytic treatment. In light of recent contexts of the global pandemic and upheavals it has caused, Bernard Chervet offers us a theoretical exploration of different notions of reality which confront the analyst. By redefining the terms intrusion, irruption and break-in, and by showing the correlation between internal and external realities, he explains how a traumatic external reality bursting into the treatment re-enacts infantile sexuality from childhood when the difference between the sexes was discovered. He shows us how the analyst, guardian of psychic life, must take all these realities into account in his work with his patients. The analyst must respect and even favour a time of immobilisation and temporary denial linked to a shock without losing sight of resuming the analytical process in a second phase in order to achieve a regeneration of the libido, the very objective of dream work and session work.   Bernard Chervet is a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. He lives and works in Paris and Lyon. He is a training psychoanalyst of the Psychoanalytic Society of Paris (SPP), he was a Former President of the SPP. He is a representative on the IPA Board and on the IPA Executive Committee. He is Scientific Director of the Congress of French speaking Psychoanalysts (CPLF), Founder of SPP Editions and he has authored numerous publications in French and international journals. He was the winner of the french Maurice Bouvet Prize in 2018 for his complete works. As the key-note speaker at the CPLF on the theme "Après-coup", he is the author of “Après-coup in Psychoanalysis: The Fulfilment of Desire and Thought” (to be published in 2022 by Routledge). Finally, he is also contributor to the IPA encyclopedic dictionary.

Does the idea of a world in which facts mean nothing cause anxiety? Fear?

BE OF GOOD CHEER.  Are you a cheerful person? Do you tend in personality to the positive rather than the negative? Do you see the glass half full rather than half empty, do you? You should, you know. For BE OF GOOD CHEER is not suggestive but rather a positive, aggressive biblical commandment. A cheerful, happy, joyful expression and more importantly heart, a cheerful heart is every bit required of Christians as any of the SHALT NOTS OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.  Being cheerful, joyful in a negative world, a marvelously positive thing should be no hardship for any Christian. To be happy in the service of the king, and as a result of the sacrifice of that very same king is a natural fruit of the spirit for the Christian. If all is made right, redeemed, forgiven and the full effects of the salvation experience having taken root, there is nothing to be worried about, nothing. Joy reigns and as the Holy Spirit resides, good cheer is the natural byproduct. Are you cheerful or are you a worrier?  More from the scripture:          DON'T BE DISMAL. So many walk through life with frowns on the face, anger in the eyes, jaw tight, lips pursed ready for battle. There is little or no love, joy, rejoicing in their spirit. They have never experienced the joy of Jesus Christ. Have you? If so, the last thing in your life would be DISMAL. You on the other hand, would infect the world with a:          SPIRITUAL SMILE. A joyful spirit, rejoicing in the Lord, thankful for everything. You would be genuinely a person of GOOD CHEER. Are you? The person of good cheer constantly REJOICES. The scriptural command for them to be glad and rejoice no matter the circumstances, including severe difficulties, persecution and more becomes a reality. No matter the negative circumstances, the positive Christian will always rejoice and be GLAD, exceedingly glad for the love of Christ rules. Even when faith is attacked, when Christianity is ridiculed, mocked and Christians persecuted as happens so often today, there is rejoicing, a thankful spirit, one of praise no matter how negative. Because, the love of Christ has permeated heart, soul and mind and the disciple of the risen Lord is a person of:          GOOD CHEER. Are you one, are you glad, exceedingly glad in Christianity no matter the negativity of this world, are you?  Our world is corrupt, full of lies, deceit, conspiracies, the fruits of what is most certainly:          THE POST TRUTH ERA. A true Christian loves the truth and believes wholeheartedly that only the truth will make us free but even in a culture where truth is cancelled, and where Christianity is attacked, and those who believe persecuted, there rings out loud and clear that blessed assurance:          BE OF GOOD CHEER. I, I the Lord have overcome the world. Do you believe that, do you? If you do, there is nothing to worry about, nothing. If you really do believe that, you can never be DISMAL. Frowns replaced by spiritual smiles. You cannot worry, a sin in its own right for you live this day and each day with the problems and potential thereof and the cheer, the joy, the gladness in your spirit will not allow you to worry about tomorrow. Rejoice in that. Be glad about that, exceedingly glad. Be thankful, in all things and especially that. Live positive in a negative world.  Radicals, the evil, Marxists and socialists would destroy our country. They would eviscerate our Constitution, especially our First Amendment freedoms of religion, speech and press, and petition and assembly. They would destroy democracy and eventually install Marxism as a way of life. So, then comes the commandment to resist the devil, RESIST EVIL. But even as you do, even as you take YOUR STAND, you and I should fight the fight of faith persons of good cheer, not looking dismal. Not to worry, to be joyful and rejoice, to be glad and thankful for the opportunity to serve and defend our Lord. And we should be thankful in all things especially the defense of our Christian faith and our love for Jesus Christ. Is that you? Do you live and believe that way, do you? This salvation, the love of the Lord, the reality of true Christianity is yours, you will do, believe and live all of that, a person of:          GOOD CHRISTIAN CHEER. We see the destruction of our educational system. We are told we must become advocates of CRITICAL RACE THEORY, the deconstruction of our American history, the watering down, the compromising or elimination of our Christian faith as America enters the new normal, the radical changes in culture, lifestyle and values. WE THE PEOPLE RESIST! We will not render unto CAESAR allegiance and obedience to all such for it is immoral, unbiblical, satanic and wrong, just plain wrong! We will defend, resist, fight the fight of faith all the while we are thankful in all things, exceedingly glad for the opportunity to stand up for our Lord, and to rejoice, cheerfully rejoice in that defense. Do you, will you resist, stand up, fight the fight of faith, will you? You should, I should because it is our Christian duty. Joyful, rejoicing, thankful Christians never compromise, never give in, stand tall in the face of evil, anything evil. May God encourage and strengthen you to do just that. Then says our Lord:          I AM COME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE THIS LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY!     Life is precious, abortion is wrong, DEAD WRONG. The surgeons' scalpels that kill the baby in the womb are just that, a horrible killing. We should resist abortion, evil as it is of the devil, in the fight of faith. Do you, do you fight back against abortion – killing? If you are truly Christian, the full effects of the total salvation experience having revolutionized your life, you must, YOU MUST! And the same with euthanasia. Whether the young unborn or the old in physical disrepair, killing, no matter the terminology is just plain biblically wrong and must be resisted by the true person of faith. Do you resist as a cheerful, joyful Christian, do you in the protection of life abundant? Our society seeks a new morality or none at all. It destroys Judeo – Christian values and morality, the very foundation of our beloved America. We the cheerful resist, fight against, often weary of the battle. Then come the comforting words of our Lord:          COME UNTO ME ALL YOU HEAVY LADEN AND I, I WILL GIVE YOU REST. I will comfort you, strengthen you and restore the resources I have given you, filling you once again with cheer, spiritual smiles, joy, and gladness of heart. Don't worry, my beloved says the Lord, I will give you rest. I have overcome this world and it will always be that way. You are mine and I am yours and we walk together, arm in arm in this world and we grow together forever in the world to come. Believe that and be comforted by that. Do you, do you really believe that? If you do, no matter what, you will be cheerful, joyful, thankful in all things. Life will always be positive, not negative. Then come wars and rumors of wars. Then come plagues, drought, pestilence and disease, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Then comes persecution of the saints, those loved by the Lord. In all of that and no matter what come the comforting words of Jesus of Nazareth:          FEAR NOT! I AM WITH YOU! Don't be afraid, don't worry. Back to basics, cheerful, spiritual smiles, joy, rejoicing, gladness, exceeding gladness of heart, thankful in all things. That is the only way for a Christian to live, THE ONLY WAY NO MATTER WHAT! Do you live that way, do you believe that with all of your heart, do you? If so, then there is nothing, NOTHING to worry about.  Then come the trials and tribulations of life, the personal life, your life and mine. Death, disease, financial hardship, loved one forsaking family and other loved ones, families divided, especially over matters of faith, all so very painful to the core. But the answer, the antidote is there, right there. FEAR NOT. Don't be afraid of any of these things for:          I AM WITH YOU. Positive, wonderful assurance. Don't, DON'T says the Lord:          BE AFRAID. Don't be afraid! When you walk with me, there is nothing to fear, nothing. So, walk with me. Don't let go, don't move out on your own. Allow me to strengthen and give you wisdom as you fight the fight of faith, as you resist the devil. I will do that, says the Lord, if you never lose faith and trust in me. I will do that if you walk with me, holding tight. Even though, my beloved son or daughter, you walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will not let you fear any evil. My rod and my staff will comfort you and goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. So, don't be afraid, afraid of nothing. Don't worry. Rejoice and be cheerful, DON'T BE DISMAL! Be of good cheer.  In life, and at the end, may you say proudly, confidently and joyfully, cheerfully:          I KNOW IN WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED!  Do you, do you really know Him, and believe in Him, do you? Even unto death? For the loving, joyful, cheerful Christian says with the Apostle Paul:          FOR ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN. Is that you, is that the way you live and do you know full well and believe unconditionally that death is more, gain, to be with the Lord? Do you?  If so, then we can say with the angels of old who announced the coming, the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ:          GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST         AND ON EARTH          PEACE AND GOODWILL         TO ALL HUMAN KIND. We are people of praise, glory, praising God for his love and mercy and glorifying all that has been done for us. We the believers are thankful in all things, no matter what. That is a task that can only be accomplished by those of good cheer, those not dismal, those who don't worry, those who are full of joy, rejoicing and thanking all day long. So, this is the day which the Lord hath made. Let us be glad, GLAD and rejoice therein. Let us walk with him this day, all day. Let us walk with him here and to look forward with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength to that blessed day when we will:         LIVE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER! Forever.

STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED! Unto God, first and then to humankind. Work men and work women, as the scriptures say, who are not ashamed, but proud of what they know and use that knowledge for the good of faith and humanity. The more knowledge the better. In fact, what the world needs now are right thinking people who can RIGHTLY DIVIDE not only the word of truth, the scriptures, but all things happening in this world especially culturally, socially and politically. The issues of today ravage and rampage in so many ways because WE THE PEOPLE are uneducated, often indifferent and consequently ignorant of consequences when we are forced to make decisions or live with those made by others. We do not take the time to STUDY the issues and their ramifications, think them through (THINK ON THESE THINGS), and consequently articulate our conclusions. We earn the disrespect of those who know the issues, control them and utilize them for their benefit no matter the consequences to us. And the consequences are incredibly serious in this day and age of CANCEL CULTURE. So many of our once respected and objective institutions of education have become BASTIONS OF BIAS. Virtually all have come under the control of radical progressives, liberals determined to do away with American history, morals and values and religion, especially religion of the Judeo – Christian kind. Studies show that faculties of universities nationwide are far more Democrat than Republican. In fact, the latest ratio indicated that Democrat – progressive faculty has a 13–1 ratio superiority to Republican – conservative. THIRTEEN – ONE! Not only is that one voice not heard, but this oppressive majority opposition seeks to cancel that voice altogether. It moves aggressively forward to indoctrinate rather than educate. Free or counter speech is cancelled at every turn. Opposing points of view face intimidation, threats and faculty firing and student expulsion. You think the way of the new educational orthodoxy or you will be CANCELLED! That is so in spite of a well–known professional standard for college professors which states the following:“College professors are warned against taking unfair advantage of the students immaturity by indoctrinating him or her with the teachers own opinions before the student has had an opportunity fairly to examine other opinions upon the matters in question and before the student has sufficient knowledge and ripeness of judgement to be entitled to form any definitive opinion of his or her own.”That statement comes from the American Association of University Professors, originated as far back as 1915. But in fact, unfair advantage of the minds of young students is common practice at our colleges and universities which, again, INDOCTRINATE RATHER THAN EDUCATE. Most educational institutions have similar rules of their own. They are however completely ignored by the new progressive academia which has become politicized from top to bottom.And yet another educational standard violated with impunity. The Constitution of California specifically states that the universities of California:“Shall be entirely independent of all political or sectarian influence and kept free there from.”However, politicization is now seemingly routine. Colleges and universities however continue on in the pursuit of their political objectives even though they completely stifle – eliminate free inquiry, promote tribalism, erode or corrupt analytical thought. And perhaps most importantly, the emotionality of social justice, the stated aim, would replace reason, rational thinking! Universities used to be places where the major political and social issues of the day could be researched and debated. But current academia in the words of Professor John M. Ellis of the University of California, Santa Cruz:“Offers not a reasoned corrective to partisan passions, but fears, one–sided advocacy of dangerous and destructive ideas.”Real education, says Professor Ellis, has become academically adrift. A former study found that at least 45% of 2,300 undergraduate students surveyed at 24 universities are progressing through higher education today without measurable gains in general skills like critical thinking, complex reasoning and perhaps as importantly WRITING. In short, to use the title of the book by Allan Bloom THE CLOSING OF THE AMERICAN MIND, free speech, analytical thinking, contrary points of view and the flow of fresh ideas become scarcer by the day at our once glorious and respected educational institutions. Higher education has been replaced with lower political radicalism. That radical lurch to the left was rampant among graduate students who became junior professors, instantly shifting the faculty sharply leftward. The political pressure and demand for female and minority faculty appointments occasioned more young radicals hired as members of the faculty. Even as these radical changes occurred, WE THE PEOPLE continued to pay taxes utilized for education, indifferently passed legislation which fostered this movement, and continued to give generously and abundantly to current education and to endowments. As one professor well stated, it now seems too late to change course and change back academia. The First Amendment of our beloved Constitution guarantees free speech. That is the most important right of any person living in a democratic – free society. Without free speech, there is no freedom. No freedom of religion. No freedom of press and media. No freedom of education. And no freedom of assembly. All fundamental and unalienable rights are gone and tyranny rules. Gerard Baker, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, witnessing these overt and subtle attacks on democracy states that our beloved freedoms and our:         DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS. In classrooms, says Baker, newsrooms and boardrooms across the country, you can almost hear the silence as people internally check what they say! Newspaper editors are forced to resign or are terminated. Two such at the once great Gray Lady the New York Times, Mr. Bennett and Ms. Weiss. They dared to publish in the Times op-eds which were conservative in thinking as opposed to the constant and consistent liberality of the Times. They were hassled, these editors, intimidated and terminated. And the very same happens with so many professors who dare to be contrary in speech who are hassled and harassed and who well can be fired for challenging the current liberal – radical – progressive orthodoxy.These radicals, determined to cancel conservative thinking have become what Gerard Baker calls:         VIGILANTES OF IDEOLOGICAL PURITY.They have even gone so far, so many of them, to state that the publication of conservative thinking pieces, essays and writings are such that they “put their lives in danger!”Can you believe that? The mere writing of a differing point of view (conservative) threatens the lives of the liberal – radical – progressive crowd. Just incredible. When in fact, so much of what they publish, think and believe has put the lives of millions of American citizens in danger and unleashed the worst violence that America has seen internally in its entire history. And, that is the truth of the matter in this POST TRUTH ERA. And this march toward a leftist utopia continues unabetted and even more aggressively so. Academia continues to pursue so called social justice. They are determined to effectuate political correctness at every turn. And, they believe in and champion identity politics in the name of diversity but in reality nothing more than division. We live in a day and age, my fellow Americans, especially in academia and on campus of the:         WOKE PHILOSOPHY.And its aim is to destroy traditional America any way it can.Writer Mollie Hemingway states the following:“Battle lines are more clearly drawn these days between those who clearly believe America is irredeemably evil and must be violently overthrown (i.e. George Soros) and those who believe America remains the greatest country on earth, based on the rule of law, individual liberty, inalienable rights.”And so, the battle lines are drawn and near the twain shall meet. There is no dialogue, no compromise, no respect but only a WINNER TAKE ALL approach. It is for America today an ideological war where in so many ways we the people are collateral damage. The core, the foundation, the heart and soul of America are all in danger of total destruction. And, we the people do so little or even nothing to prevent that from happening.Joshua T. Katz is a professor of classics at the once renowned Princeton University, where free speech ruled. Professor Katz used the phrase “terrorist organization” to describe a defunct student group called the BLACK JUSTICE LEAGUE, the members of which targeted and smeared fellow undergraduates for disagreeing with them. The President of Princeton publicly stated that Katz had violated his obligation to exercise free speech RESPONSIBLY. In short, you complied with Princeton radical – progressive orthodoxy or you were IRRESPONSIBLE. Fellow faculty members, brainwashed with the new orthodoxy actually stated that the use of that term terrorist organization placed:          “Black colleagues, students and alums at serious risk.”Can you believe that? There came a groundswell of support for Professor Katz, rightly so, so that the inquiry which was promised by Princeton and its President was cancelled, leading Katz to state:          I SURVIVED CANCELLATION AT PRINCETON.And that is a rare occurrence, free speech survival at any Ivy League institution and of course at others the country over.What a world, my fellow Americans. The America so many of us know and love has never been in more danger. The First Amendment of our Constitution and its freedom guarantees is under attack now more than ever. There can be no freedom of religion without freedom of speech. There can be no freedom of press and assembly without freedom of speech. Our Constitution absolutely prohibits ANY ABRIDMENT of free speech no matter how hateful. We can bear the consequences of our speech but we cannot be prevented from making that speech. But we are, time and again, and more and more. We have, many believe one more opportunity, my fellow Americans to make certain that we elect those who will protect our inalienable rights, our special democratic freedoms in elections 2020. If those who hate free speech are in fact elected in House, Senate and in the Presidency, what we now take for granted, the freedoms we do, will be gone, lost forever.And you know the famous Reagan saying:         FREEDOM ONCE LOST IS LOST FOREVER.I hope and pray your son or daughter, or anyone you know and love does not fall prey to current CANCEL CULTURE ACADEMIA. There are strong, right thinking, excellent educational institutions where they can go, like Liberty University. Do not allow those you love to fall prey to today's ACADEMIA. They are for the most part radical, progressive, socialistic environments bent on the destruction, the take down of America. Please do not support or send (recommend). Because, more than ever:         THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IS AT STAKE!
