Podcasts about refusing

In the competitive world of online status-mongering, courage involves little more than clicking “like” or earning a “mention” in a post that could risk losing a follower or two. Real courage is, of course, something else entirely. It's about doing the right thing when there are real costs. It's taking an unpopular stand, even a dangerous one when sitting back and doing nothing would be far easier.  During the dark days of Communist tyranny in Europe, governments spouted their dangerous nonsense, and citizens were expected, often by intimidation, to act as though their folly were true. Refusing meant social ostracization, police supervision, the loss of opportunity and freedom, and the compromise of personal safety. Most citizens ducked their heads and did what they could to survive.   Others, however, made the difficult choice to stand up. Their courage entailed not taking up arms or taking to the streets but, in a world where dissent was costly, a simple refusal to go along. Among those who showed this kind of courage was the Bendová family of Czechoslovakia, a family featured in the book Live Not By Lies by Rod Dreher. Kamila Bendová will be a featured guest at the Colson Center National Conference, along with Rod Dreher, to tell the story of her family's courage, even when that courage brought suffering. As Dreher wrote,  She too was a dissident. She kept the family together when the communists put her husband in prison. When Vaclav was tempted by an offer to accept exile in exchange for liberty, she bucked him up, and told him that the things they were fighting for were worth suffering for too.  Or, as Terry Mattingly put it,  It didn't matter if the Communists had imprisoned her husband — the late Vaclav Benda, a leading Czech dissident and Catholic intellectual. It didn't matter that state officials had bugged their flat near the medieval heart of the city. It didn't matter if a friend showed up after being tortured at the secret police facility a block away.  Faithfully, through years of pressure, threats, and fears, Kamila Bendová showed her children, local students, and fellow citizens that resistance is not futile. Her life is a lesson to us in this cultural moment. Though what we face is less openly dangerous, it is confusing and consequential. As Mattingly wrote,  Traditional families now face threats that are harder to identify than those of the Communist era, said Kamila Bendova. Warning children about the secret police is one thing. In a way, it may be harder for today's parents to convince their children to be truly countercultural in an age of social-media narcissism, gender confusion, online pornography and credit-card materialism.  In his book Live Not by Lies, Dreher tells story after story of courageous Christians from the recent past. Their courage can inspire and inform us in this moment, Dreher thinks.  Should totalitarianism, hard or soft, come to America, the police state would not have to establish a web of informants to keep tabs on the private lives of the people. The system we have now already does this—and most Americans are scarcely aware of its thoroughness and ubiquity.  Though we do not face the exact tactics of Marxist regimes, we face the expansive power of a de facto social credit system, where holding the “wrong” opinion comes with a social cost. In Britain, railing against the Jewish people and the whole of Western civilization is acceptable, even encouraged, but silently praying outside an abortion clinic brings a visit from the police. Social pressure and government pressure, heightened by corporate pressures, have brought radical and dangerous ideologies into the mainstream.  So, now is a time for courage, the kind that refuses to go along with dominant paradigms when it would be easier to be quiet. The Bendová family knew that their children would require tools to think critically and carefully. Ours will too, especially in this age of expressive individualism and ever louder propaganda. We can learn from Kamila Bendová what this kind of intentional parenting entails.  How Christians can have a courageous faith is the focus of the 2024 Colson Center National Conference, to be held May 30-June 2 in Arlington, Texas. Joining Kamila Bendová and Rod Dreher are Dr. Albert Mohler, Fr. Calvin Robinson, Dr. Sean McDowell, Dr. Kathy Koch, and author Dr. Neil Shenvi. Only a few hundred spaces remain. To register, go to ColsonConference.org.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Timothy Padgett. For more resources to live like a Christian in this cultural moment, go to breakpoint.org.

Hey, it's Katie and I want to welcome you to this special bonus episode. It'll be here for you completely ad-free for the next week so you can get a feel of what it's like to be a PREMIUM member. If you'd like an easy ad-free experience for all of our podcasts - that's over 200 episodes each month, then JOIN PREMIUM today at https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Relax into your bed, beautiful. You deserve its tenderness. Because no matter what happened today,  Or how you feel, It's time to be kind to yourself, And wrap yourself in the blankets of deep self-love. The raindrops of self-judgement can come down hard, Beginning with tiny little drops,  That barely breeze your face. Almost like whispers grazing your ears, Full of shoulds and supposed to's. But soon the rain begins pouring down, And the drops fall down hard,  Drenching you from head to toe with feelings of less than. PAUSE… But tonight, it's time to stop the rain and dry your soul, Refusing to let one more drop of self-judgement or harshness come upon you, And instead, infuse yourself with deep, unconditional kindness. PAUSE… So let yourself go right now, my love, Falling deeper into your bed as you slowly release all the tension from your body. Feeling any stress or tension leave your eyes, Your cheeks,  Your shoulders, Your chest, Your stomach, Your arms and your legs. Relax and release, Relax and release.  PAUSE… Notice the soothing rhythms of your breathing  As they call you further into comfort. Slowing you down, Down, Down, And bringing you here. Away from those thoughts, Away from all those stories of what should be, Away from any emotions that may be weighing you down. PAUSE… Breathe, And be here, Feeling your body relaxed, Feeling your mind relaxed, Feeling your entire spirit relaxed. PAUSE… Imagine those blankets of kindness gently covering you. They're simultaneously cool and refreshing, And warm and comforting, As they cover you tonight.  You are so special,  The night whispers to you. And you are pure love. PAUSE… Feel your blankets of kindness get just a bit heavier, Wrapping all of you in their embrace. You don't have to do anything to be loved, You don't have to be anyone other than who you are right now. So let yourself receive the gentle touch of kindness tonight, As you ease into deep sleep. PAUSE… Let go of the expectations. Let go of the tasks. Let go of the shoulds. Let go of the judgements. Let go of the regrets, Let go of it all… And let your raw soul be embraced by all the kindness surrounding you. PAUSE… You are love. You are beautiful. You are extraordinary. You are light. You are powerful. You are special. PAUSE… Breathe in deeply, And let the blankets of kindness cover you tonight, And remind you of who you are. Without the opinions of the outside world, But with the confident, gentle voice of your soul. PAUSE… Now be here under your blankets, my love, Resting deeply, And feeling the warmth of a gentle arm hugging you. Feel her softly squeezing you, Whispering silently that you are whole. Just as you are now. PAUSE… Let yourself melt into her embrace, And guide you into the safe, soothing stillness of deep sleep. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog Are you menopausal and have any of the following symptoms? ·      Hot Flashes ·      Night Sweats ·      Dry Vagina ·      Painful intercourse ·      Dry skin ·      Lack of sex drive ·      Lack of motivation ·      Fatigue ·      Depression and or anxiety ·      Change in body composition, with fat collection in the abdomen ·      Loss of Muscle Mass and strength ·      Irritability ·      Inability to remember names and places ·      Decreased ability to problem solve ·      Insomnia ·      Arthritis ·      Body pain   These are all symptoms we currently are aware of associated with menopause and low testosterone.  These symptoms can be treated and reversed with bioidentical estradiol and testosterone pellets.   Menopause should be treated like an illness that is universal but more severe in some women compared with others.  If your symptoms affect your lifestyle, relationships and work then you should see a doctor who treats hormone deficiency and accept treatment!   However, if you allow yourself to be manipulated by a male-dominated medical system that teaches all doctors to believe that menopause is normal as women age and don't seek out hormone replacement, then you just may be setting yourself up for years of symptoms that are treated with handfuls of medications, but never get you back to normal.  Just think about this for a minute: Men develop erectile dysfunction and experience muscle loss as they age, but medicine doesn't consider ED or Sarcopenia a natural aging process for men, they advocate and endorse treatment with testosterone, ED medications, injections for ED and therapy for ED, and in most cases pay for it!  If the male mentality would include women we would all be treated with estrogen and testosterone when we got to age 50 (or menopause).   It is not just about the symptoms that E-T replacement can cure, but the diseases that you can avoid by taking estrogen and testosterone after menopause.  These avoidable diseases of aging include: ·      Osteoporosis leading to broken bones and spinal stenosis. ·      Heart disease and stroke ·      Diabetes ·      Alzheimer's Dx and dementia ·      Obesity ·      Low muscle mass and inability to walk or move independently. ·      Autoimmune diseases ·      Loss of blood flow to Lower extremity, resulting in amputations and inhibiting walking and running ·      Severe arthritis ·      Gout ·      Worsening depression and anxiety ·      Frailty which is what causes most older people to be placed in a nursing home. Just think it is not fate that gives you these conditions.  It is genetics plus lifestyle plus whether you replace your sex hormones or not! This decision is in your control.  If you really want a life free of debilitating disease and symptoms that are require constant medical care, then you must buck the system (that was designed to keep us from maintaining our mind and body) and look for a doctor to replace your testosterone and estradiol in a non-oral delivery system and maintain it for life. By stopping ERT or Testosterone like the ACOG doctors tell you to, you will start the symptoms all over again.  My job is to offer you the right type of help to reverse the effects of menopause…both symptoms and diseases. Your job is to decide whether you want to get help and become healthy by taking nonoral estrogen and testosterone for the rest of your life. Think of menopause as a disease and you will be more prepared to fight for your right to be treated by the medical system. 

You live in a world of expectations. Parents have expectations for their kids, bosses have expectations for their team, and you, you have expectations for yourself. It creates a tension you can manage but never solve. There is who you are, who you want to be, and who other people expect you to be. How do you choose which expectations to strive for? What do you do when they feel overwhelmingly heavy. Sadly, not every expectation is a healthy one. The expectation to live life at a faster and faster pace isn't good for anyone but seems to be expected by everyone. Another powerful expectation is to quit engaging with people who have opinions differing from yours. Of course, the one expectation everyone assumes is true is to take care of yourself…you must look out for you because no one else will. What if these expectations are wrong? How much better could life be if you were rejecting expectations that are wrong for you?

This episode was originally released for Death Panel patrons on October 16th 2023. We are re-releasing it today, alongside a new transcript (with links to referenced material), because of news of an inadequate four-day "humanitarian pause" that fails to meet demands to stop the genocide and to free Palestine, and because many of Rasha's observations from a few weeks ago have now come to pass. We'll be back with a new episode Monday in the patron feed. Full transcript: https://www.deathpanel.net/transcripts/refusing-genocide-palestine Original episode description: Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about how to stand in solidarity with Palestinians in this moment, the importance of refusing the idea that the genocide of Palestinians is inevitable, and how the language we use to resist the colonial project can sometimes fail to meet the scale of our demands.

Putin Ready to End War, Calls Fight with Ukraine a “Tragedy,” Slams Zelensky for Refusing Peace Talks

Jerome of Prague was scheduled to be burned at the stake in 1460. He was given the opportunity to be released by proclaiming that he no longer held his biblical beliefs. He was tempted and was tortured for 13 months and eventually he succumbed by recanting his beliefs.  They didn't thoroughly believe him and wanted him to recant a second time.  The Spirit must have been strong with him, for at his second opportunity, he "recanted his first recantation." That is, he proclaimed the biblical Christ, knowing that it would mean being burned at the stake. Not only did Jerome refuse release but he did so knowing an unpleasant death awaited.  BTW: he sang all the way on his 1 mile trek to his burning site.  You will be tempted today.  Let's try to do ½ as good as Jerome of Prague.  bewithme.us and Spotify

Woke Deadspin calls Ryan Tannehill a RACIST for REFUSING to help Black QB, but helping White QB!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Redirecting one's own taxes as an effective altruism method, published by David Gross on November 13, 2023 on LessWrong. About twenty years ago, I stopped paying U.S. federal income taxes. By law, the government has ten years to collect an unpaid tax bill, whereafter a sort of statute of limitations kicks in and the bill becomes permanently noncollectable. I've adopted the practice of waiting out this ten-year period and then donating the amount of the uncollected tax to charity, typically the Top Charities Fund organized by GiveWell. Over the past six years I've redirected over $30,000 from the U.S. Treasury to charity in this way. In this post I'll briefly outline the theory and practice of this sort of tax redirection, and address some likely objections. If you have questions about the nitty-gritty details, leave them in the comments or drop me a line by email. Theory From an effective altruism perspective, the theory behind tax redirection is that giving money to the government is far from the best way you could deploy that money. It is questionable whether funding the government is even a net positive: worse than merely wasteful and inefficient, the government is often harmful. But even if you believe that marginal funding of the government is more good than bad, it is almost certainly not among the best ways you could allocate your money. So if you could avoid paying federal taxes and give that money instead to more well-chosen causes, in a frictionless way, it would seem wise to do so (from an effective altruism standpoint). But of course such a move is not frictionless: the government disincentivizes some varieties of tax redirection with threats of sanctions, and other varieties of tax redirection have their own costs. So you have to factor in those costs before you can decide if tax redirection would be a good option for you. But to many people, tax redirection is in the "unthinkable" category, and so they dismiss the option before actually weighing the costs and benefits. If you have been among these people, I hope this post will encourage you to move tax redirection from "unthinkable" to "let me think about that for a moment." The theory and practice of tax redirection in the U.S. has been developed largely by pacifist "war tax resisters", who redirect their federal taxes because of conscientious objection to funding war.[1] Their belief that funding the government is indeed immoral led them to desperately seek alternatives. But those alternatives, having been developed and deployed to varying degrees of success, are worth considering even by those whose values do not include pacifist scruples: for those who merely consider government funding to be suboptimal. Practice There are two main families of tax refusal strategies, each of which has numerous variants:[2] In the first family, practitioners owe taxes to the government but neglect to pay them. In the second, practitioners organize their affairs in such a way that they do not owe the taxes to begin with. I don't intend to explain these strategies in detail here, but I'll give a bird's-eye view of the strategy landscape. This is based on how tax redirection is practiced in the modern U.S., where the national government mainly relies on income-based taxation (rather than, say, a value-added tax or customs duties). Other countries (and historical periods) have their own sets of strategies. Refusing to pay taxes you owe There are a few ways to refuse to pay an income-based tax. One is to arrange one's affairs such that one is personally responsible for paying the tax (so it isn't automatically taken from one's paycheck), and then to simply not write the check when the bill comes due. Another is to earn one's income in such a way that the income does not come to the attention of the government (e.g. in the...

In this podcast episode, Dr. Ron Kaiser welcomes Dr. Rebecca Chopp, a distinguished academic leader and author who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Rebecca shares her unique and inspiring journey of living with Alzheimer's and how she's refused to surrender to the disease. Her story is a testament to the power of attitude, lifestyle interventions, and resilience in the face of a challenging diagnosis.Rebecca's Diagnosis and Initial Experience:Rebecca earned her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and had a successful career, including serving as the president of Colgate University and Swarthmore College. In 2019, she was the Chancellor of the University of Denver when she received the devastating diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Her first neurologist had outdated knowledge about the disease and painted a bleak picture of her future, but Rebecca's life took a different turn after getting a second opinion from a more positive neurologist..Refusing to Surrender:Rebecca discusses her initial struggles with the diagnosis and the stigma associated with Alzheimer's. Many people hesitate to seek diagnosis due to the fear and misconceptions about the disease. However, she emphasizes the importance of getting an early diagnosis and maintaining a positive attitude.Building a Healthy Lifestyle:Rebecca outlines key components of her lifestyle changes to delay the progress of her Alzheimer's symptoms. These include diet, exercise, sleep, and creativity. She follows a Mediterranean-style diet, prioritizes sleep, and incorporates exercise into her daily routine. Creativity, whether through painting, music, or gardening, has been a vital aspect of her journey.Recognizing Alzheimer's Symptoms:Rebecca shares how Alzheimer's has affected her daily life, particularly her short-term memory and time management skills. She also discusses the gradual loss of her ability to drive, highlighting that Alzheimer's symptoms vary among individuals.Rebecca's Career and Life Before Alzheimer's:Rebecca's journey to becoming an academic leader, from her modest upbringing to her academic pursuits in theology and administration, is highlighted. She reflects on the joy she found in her career and her interest in spirituality.About Rebecca's Book:Rebecca's upcoming book, "STILL ME: Accepting Alzheimer's Without Losing Yourself," is discussed. The book provides insights into her diagnosis, living well with Alzheimer's, the science behind the disease, and practical tips for those facing a similar journey. All proceeds from the book will go toward further Alzheimer's research.Rebecca's Website and Support:Rebecca's website, Rebecca Chopp Enterprises, offers blogs, information on her book, and showcases her artwork. She is dedicated to spreading awareness and supporting the Alzheimer's community.Support and Resources for Alzheimer's:Rebecca encourages individuals to seek a second opinion if they receive an Alzheimer's diagnosis. She recommends valuable resources such as the Alzheimer's Association and Us Against Dementia for information, guidance, and support.Closing Thoughts:Rebecca's story serves as an inspiration to those facing Alzheimer's and their families. Her message is clear: refuse to surrender, embrace a healthy lifestyle, and find joy in the journey. Her book and website are valuable resources for those seeking guidance and information about living with Alzheimer'shttps://www.swarthmore.edu/swarthmore-college-presidents/rebecca-s-chopp. Hosted on Acast.

The thousands in America who were fired from their jobs for refusing to take the experimental Covid shots are heroes. Why? They stood strong for American principles at a time when the Americans in power cared little for principles. Common sense, under Covid, flew the coop and instead, fear became the guiding factor with tyrants like Gerald Rivera calling for all those who refused to take the shots to be confined to their homes -- that they deserved to lose their jobs and their freedoms. Thing is, in America, free choice is a core principle, particularly when it comes to making medical decisions. Mike Donio, a medical professional who spent decades in research and science, including in molecular biology, talks about how he was fired for refusing the shot, and how he believes the medical community, under Covid, collectively lost its mind.

The last eighteen months or so of Jada Pinkett Smith's life have been… well, complicated. But complicated is nothing new for the multi-hyphenate who now hosts Red Table Talk and has a new book, Worthy, her gripping memoir tracing her origins in Baltimore to her throne as reigning queen of refusing to fit into anyone's idea of who she should be. Pinkett Smith shares her perspective as a young girl from her grandmother's garden, as a young woman at Baltimore School of the Arts, where one of her closest friends was Tupac Shakur, and as a starlet in the heady 1990s heyday of opportunity for Black actresses. Her exhilarating highs came with devastating lows; Pinkett Smith has shared openly about her depression and even suicidal ideation–in this wide-ranging interview, Pinkett Smith opens up about coming through those dark times, falling in, out, and in another kind of love with her life partner Will Smith, and, yes, her take on “The Holy Slap.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
