Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

844 I Hid Myself Because I Was Naked, A Guided Christian Meditation on Genesis 3:8-10 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrel axing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Genesis 3 NIV 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" 10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." KJV 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Reflection on Scripture: What an interesting turn of events. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree from which they were commanded against, the scripture does not say they hid because they disobeyed God. It says they hid because they were naked. It seems like the wrong thing to be fearful that the Lord sees. God created their naked bodies. God has already seen their nakedness and yet this is the motivation for hiding from God.  Aside from the silliness of trying to hide from God, it seems the wrong reason to hide from God. It also seems like a wonderful deception for Satan. To foul their understanding of their sexual identity before the Lord quite literally. In the final day of active creation God created Adam, then as his culminating act of creation, he created Eve. In this act of creation he invited Adam and Eve to participate with Him in the act of creation of human bodies. The sexual acts that create their offspring is a literal usage of this gift for its intended purpose. Satan did not want them to develop a healthy relationship with this power. He wanted to immediately corrupt their perception. Their sexual bodies were incorrectly seen as an embarrassment before God.  Satan has waged a full fledged war against the correct perception and usage of this sacred creative power represented by their nudity. He tries to make the whole world mock, cheapen, objectify, and minimize the gift of sexuality. And on top of that, after he has done that, he seeks to heap on shame for it at the same time. God would have us reject the perspective of Satan, and the world. I believe God would prefer for us to protect the sacredness of this gift while also rejecting the shame the enemy would place upon it. Embrace the sacredness that God has put into you. Don't misuse it. Don't hide from the Lord when you fear or make errors. Let us not be in a place where God ever has to ask, where are you? Let us always seek His face, especially when we fall short, that he can redeem us.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod      

It's not okay for grown adults to believe the United States wages wars to promote humanitarian interests and bring freedom and democracy to oppressed populations. It's not okay for grown adults to believe that US soldiers fight and die to protect their country and its citizens. It's not okay for grown adults to believe US military interventionism in the middle east has anything to do with women's rights or making life better for women. Reading by Tim Foley.

Those soldiers did not die for any noble reason. They died for money, for power, and for Israel. They wasted their lives, and they died for stupid, unworthy reasons. Don't let anyone claim otherwise. Reading by Tim Foley.

To see all the links to the curriculum mentioned in this episode click HERE Teaching reading is one of the most important parts of homeschooling. In this episode of The Brave & Balanced Homeschool Podcast, I share the most successful way to teach your child to read at home based on my experience homeschooling four children — including one with moderate dyslexia. We talk about why phonics is the best foundation for learning to read, why sight reading can cause problems for struggling learners, and how repetition helps children build strong reading skills. I also share practical examples to help you confidently begin teaching reading in your homeschool. If you are a homeschool parent wondering how to teach your child to read, what reading curriculum works best, or how to support a child who struggles with reading, this episode will give you encouragement and practical direction. You'll also hear my recommendations for strong phonics-based homeschool reading programs that can help your child become a confident and independent reader. Homeschooling becomes much easier once your child learns to read well, and in this episode I'll walk you through the approach that worked in our homeschool.

Witch Trail by Harriet Tyce Two teenage girls. One murdered classmate. And a modern-day witch trial that will divide the nation. When 18-year-old Christian Shaw is found dead in an Edinburgh park, the city reels - and the shock only deepens when police charge her best friends, Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth, with her murder. As social media explodes and headlines scream for justice, rumours of bullying spiral into something whispers of rituals, obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong. Matthew Phillips, a respected heart surgeon, is reluctantly called for jury duty on the case. But as the trial unfolds - and the girls reveal a chilling defence no one saw coming - he begins to question the motives, the evidence, even his own judgement. Who's telling the truth? Who can be trusted? And what really happened to Christian Shaw? Let the Witch Trial begin . . . The Hard Line by Mark Greaney For a man who works in the shadows, a family is not just a luxury - it's a weakness. When an unknown enemy uses threats against Zack Hightower's estranged daughter to blackmail the injured operative into taking on a dangerous mission, his friend, Court Gentry, aka the Gray Man, volunteers to take Zack's place. But Court has problems of his own. He's already got an expert assassin on his trail for no apparent reason. And now his quest to protect Zack's family may drag his own family into the maelstrom. There's one lesson that Court has found undeniable: There's a reason superheroes have secret identities. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 218, Sarah chats with Enneagram author, speaker, and podcaster Sarajane Case about Reading Through the Enneagram. After a brief introduction to the Enneagram and how it differs from other personality systems, they dive into how Enneagram types show up in our reading lives — from guessing an author's type to rethinking our own habits as readers. Sarajane walks through the nine types, shares a book recommendation for each, and offers her own personal picks.

This week on Circle Back, we break down some of the worst sports betting advice currently circulating on Gambling Twitter. The crew reacts to a viral strategy suggesting bettors should blindly fade steam moves in low-liquidity mid-major college basketball games, and explains why sportsbooks adjusting to sharp action does NOT suddenly create value on the other side. We also discuss bankroll management advice encouraging bettors to constantly withdraw profits instead of allowing their bankroll and unit size to scale properly, and debate a controversial take dismissing the importance of closing line value (CLV) as a core indicator of long-term betting success. Plus, we round up some of the latest viral moments, arguments, and drama from Gambling Twitter this week. Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and is part of Circles Off on The Hammer Betting Network. This episode features Joey Knish alongside Porter from BA Analytics and Chinamaniac as the panel breaks down the latest conversations, debates, and controversies happening across Gambling Twitter.

What do you actually mean when you say the Pledge of Allegiance? And are you still willing to mean it? For years, Corey stood in silence during the Pledge of Allegiance, troubled by what looked too much like idol worship. Then something shifted. Reading the words instead of performing them, he realized the pledge was never about the flag or the man holding the office. It was about the republic for which it stands. In a moment when that republic is under genuine pressure, this episode is about the difference between supporting a policy and cheering the dismantling of the constitutional constraints that govern how it gets carried out. Those are not the same thing, and the confusion between them is where democracies go wrong.

Reading those words carefully changes everything about what it means to say them. Policy vs. Method: You can support stronger border enforcement and still insist on due process. You can back economic protectionism and still insist Congress holds the commerce power. Supporting a goal is not a blank check for any method of achieving it. Article I Is Not Ambiguous: The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war and regulate commerce with foreign nations. This isn't interpretation. It's the plain text, and conservative and liberal scholars alike have been raising the alarm for years. The Gap Is Real: Trump won with just under 51% of the vote. His approval is now below 40%. That gap consists of real people who voted for a sane border policy and lower grocery prices, and are now watching something different. They are not the same people as those applauding masked agents conducting raids with minimal judicial oversight. Authoritarianism Begins with Exceptions: It doesn't begin with troops in the streets. It begins when citizens decide constitutional limits are optional when the right person is in charge. That logic, extended to the next administration, is what's actually on the table. Jonathan Rauch Said the Word: One of the most careful, fair-minded political thinkers in America, someone who literally wrote the book defending free inquiry from both the left and the right, used the word "fascism" for the first time after concluding the resemblances had become too many and too strong to deny. The question isn't whether he went too far. The question is why so many others are still hesitating. A Declaration, Not a Reflex: What was once a civic ritual has become something else. Saying those words in a moment when the republic is under pressure is not nationalism. It's resistance.

"Paul, writing from Ephesus, where he stayed for more than two years... [to] the Christian church at Corinth, which was then the largest town in Greece... It would have been full of a cosmopolitan crowd, and even in those days a byword for immorality." From the introduction.

Today, we're revisiting a listener-favorite episode that has some advice and an activity that I think are perfect for this time of year in our homeschools.Jon Acuff, author of All It Takes Is a Goal, joined me a while back for a perspective-shifting conversation about setting and achieving goals for our homeschools, and how looking back at our best moments, from major milestones to pockets of joy, helps us envision the kind of future we really want. Jon also shares some practical tips for reframing the urge to compare ourselves to others, especially on social media, giving ourselves credit for what we're already doing–because it's definitely more than you think–and approaching goals with a “some is better than none” mindset.In this episode, you'll hear: How taking stock of your past best moments helps you be more grateful and present for the moments happening right nowWhy having dreams and goals bigger than your calendar is actually a gift A simple key to finding goals that work for you and your family Learn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/jon-acuff

Sarah's mom had to have surgery, and we find out how one of our recent episodes could've prevented this unfortunate incident. Let's just say: plank at your own risk. A man decided to do an entire marathon doing lunges instead of running like a normal person, and, spoiler alert, it didn't go well. Sarah talks about two ladies who got locked into a Scottish castle overnight. Susie has breaking serial pooper news. A woman was caught going number two on a hiking trail every morning, and you will not believe her excuse. Sarah reveals one of the worst moments of her life involved stumbling upon the remains of an outdoor defecator, and she is still traumatized.

Volume, pitch, pace, tone, inflection: the human voice is our primary teaching instrument. The spoken word has not just a logos and an ethos but an embodied and personal quality—which comes with enormous advantages. This week, twenty-five-year Heights veteran Tom Steenson shares a valuable reflection on the human voice and how we use it in the classroom. He includes many practical examples of how to engage students, express expectations, correct without disruption, and love your students by using your voice with intention.

The Book of Enoch (Chapters 12-16): The Origin of The Demonic & Eternal Punishment of The Watchers by Shawn Ozbun

Many Christians read the Bible slowly, one chapter or a few verses at a time—but there are tremendous benefits to reading Scripture through quickly. In this video, Nathan Johnson explains three important reasons every believer should consider reading through the Bible in 60, 90, or 120 days. Reading the Bible at a faster pace can help you see the grand storyline of Scripture, understand how the whole Bible points to Jesus Christ, and develop a deeper hunger for God's Word. If you have ever struggled to stay consistent in your Bible reading or wanted to better understand the overall message of Scripture, this teaching will help to inspire you with a fresh approach to reading God's Word.Watch this episode as a video on YouTubeCheck out the notes for this episodeDownload the Simple Guide to Bible StudyVideo mentioned at the end:The Life and Faith of George Müller: 5 Key Lessons for Christians Today-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 372View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources: deeperchristian.com/3-reasons-to-read-the-bible-fast/

Pope Leo XIII's 1884 encyclical Humanum Genus is the Church's most comprehensive explanation of why, ever since 1738, she has forbidden Catholics to become Freemasons. Reading the encyclical today, one has the thought that its continued relevance has less to do with the present-day activities of Masonic organizations, and more to do with the fact that Masonic ideas have already come to pervade Western society.

For a question that brings up strong feelings on both sides, try asking: Do audiobooks qualify as 'reading'? Brian Bannon, the Merryl and James Tisch Director of Branch Libraries and Education and Chief Librarian at The New York Public Library, joins us to talk about the rise of—and stigma around—audiobooks, and why the environment in which we read might matter more than the modality. 

In this episode, Jed welcomes third grade teacher and debut picture book author Alex Friedrichs to talk about his heartwarming new book, Sweet Rescue. Alex shares how the story was born in the most surprising way—a 4 AM dream that sent him and his wife straight to the coffee pot so he could get the idea down before it disappeared. That dream later became the basis for a story his team created on the Amazon kids' show Play-Doh Squished, where judges said it "sounds like a movie," and eventually evolved into his published picture book. Alex introduces us to Hungry Joe, a ravenous little caterpillar who follows an irresistible smell, gets himself stuck in a gooey pie, and needs help from his big sister Becky Butterfly and their friends to escape a hungry raven. Through this simple, fun adventure, Alex weaves in big themes: teamwork, family love, kindness, and standing by each other—perfect for conversations around Valentine's Day and beyond. Drawing on his 31 years in the classroom, he also talks passionately about the importance of early literacy, why third grade is a crucial turning point for reading, and how nightly read-alouds create both skills and lifelong memories. In the second half of the episode, Jed chats with Christina Christian, former American Idol Season 1 top 10 finalist and author of I Believe in Me, Do You Believe in You? Christina explains how a simple confidence-boosting poem she wrote for her son grew into a picture book that helps kids build self-belief, resilience, and a positive inner narrative, even when life doesn't go as planned.

An episode about Goths and Atlantis featuring the parapol goat Reid does not really need an introduction but you deserve one anyway. I will set the stage by talking about language magic and how it developed during the Renaissance after the kabbalists fled Spain.We will trace the origins of this Word and practice back through the eras of the neoplatonic logos doctrine. Reading early church fathers, apostles, desert dwelling mystics and my absolute favorite women among the Beguines and Beghards during the High Middle Ages.After this extended dreamy first act which might lull you to sleep in the best of ways, or have you thirsting for more in the night under this still quite full moon. Sebbe, Reid and I will tell you about the OG modern Atlantis researcher, Olaus Rudbeck (1630-1702).Together with this mad genius we will go through strange runic translations of old Greek myths, newly arrived Icelandic sagas, as spoils of war from the continental 30 year war fill up the shelf of the Collegium of Antiquites, with the most priced being the Gothic Silver Bible.
