Note Bene is a series of off the cuff episodes that delve more into our personal experiences with broader topics with relevance to normativity and the ethical life. In this episode, Charles is joined by the writer and critic, Jon Repetti, to reflect on the art and philosophy of the late American avant-garde filmmaker, David Lynch. While touching upon his entire filmography, the discussion focuses on the LA triptych of films, Lost Highway(1997), Mulholland Drive(1999), and Inland Empire(2006) as the centerpiece of Lynch's mature moral vision of the political unconscious and metaphysical groundwork of American life.Please consider becoming a paying subscriber to our Patreon to get exclusive bonus episodes, early access releases, and bookish merch: https://www.patreon.com/MoralMinorityJon's Substack: https://fivegoodhours.substack.com/Follow Jon on Twitter(X): @pourfairelevideFollow us on Twitter(X).Devin: @DevinGoureCharles: @satireredactedEmail us at: moralminoritypod@gmail.com

Are you the kind of person who needs a pristine, orderly environment for you to feel relaxed? Or perhaps being surrounded by your clutter isn't a big deal – it might even bring you comfort. 'Professional organisers', who help people declutter their space, have grown in popularity in recent years, particularly on the internet. But does shedding your possessions always make you happier? Or, does clutter matter? 您是那种需要原始，有序的环境以使您感到放松的人吗？也许被您的混乱包围并不是什么大问题 - 甚至可能为您带来安慰。帮助人们整理空间的“专业组织者”近年来越来越受欢迎，尤其是在互联网上。但是，放弃您的财产总是会让您更快乐？还是杂物很重要？ Living in a messy space can have various negative effects on our lives. For example, a study called 'No Place Like Home' by Repetti and Saxbe, found that mothers with messy homes had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol and an increased depressed mood throughout the day. Messy homes can also make it harder to fall asleep, according to the 2021 study 'The association between sleep and late life hoarding', and no one wants that! 生活在一个混乱的空间中会对我们的生活产生各种负面影响。例如，一项名为Repetti和Saxbe的名为“ No Toble Home”的研究发现，拥有凌乱的房屋的母亲的压力激素皮质醇水平更高，并且全天的情绪降低。根据2021年的研究“睡眠与晚期ho积之间的关联”，杂乱无章的房屋也很难入睡，没有人想要！ So perhaps Marie Kondo, author of 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying', was on to something when she said, "tidying can transform your life". To achieve Kondo's style of minimalism, she recommends gathering all your things together, choosing which items 'spark joy' and then discarding the rest. Some may find it invigorating to begin again on a clean slate, while others, particularly extreme hoarders, can find the process anxiety-inducing, because of an attachment to their belongings. 因此，也许玛丽·昆多（Marie Kondo）是《整洁生活的魔法》的作者，他说：“整理可以改变您的生活”。为了实现Kondo的极简主义风格，她建议将所有的东西聚集在一起，选择哪些项目“ Spark Joy”，然后丢弃其余的东西。有些人可能会发现重新开始以干净的板岩开始令人振奋，而另一些人，尤其是极端ho积者，由于对物品的依恋，可以找到引起焦虑的过程。 Then there are those who simply enjoy collecting. Vintage style expert Kate Beavis has a home filled with handbags, toys, phones and cookware from the 1960s. Others may call this clutter, but she argues that minimalist homes are "boring and bland". Some items may not have a practical use, but instead hold sentimental value, and spark joy in a nostalgic way. And things that "evoke happy memories are valuable, especially to people with memory problems," says Chris Stiff, senior lecturer in psychology at Keele University. 然后有些人只是喜欢收集。复古风格的专家凯特·比维斯（Kate Beavis）拥有一个房屋，里面有1960年代的手袋，玩具，电话和炊具。其他人可能会称这个混乱，但她认为极简主义的房屋“无聊而平淡”。有些项目可能没有实际用途，而是具有感性的价值，并以怀旧的方式引发喜悦。Keele大学心理学高级讲师Chris Stiff说，“唤起人们的回忆唤起幸福的回忆是有价值的，尤其是对记忆问题的人来说都是有价值的。”Maybe a giant mess isn't all bad. And as Albert Einstein once said, "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" 也许巨大的烂摊子并不是全部不好。正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein）曾经说过的那样：“如果杂乱无章的桌子是杂乱无章的迹象，那么什么是空的桌子呢？”词汇表pristine 整洁的，崭新的orderly 井然有序的clutter 杂乱的东西declutter 清理，整理shed 丢弃possession 所有物messy 脏乱的，不整洁的cortisol 皮质醇hoarding 囤积tidy 整理，使…整洁on to something 发现某事的真相minimalism 极简主义spark joy 激发快乐，引起愉悦discard 丢弃invigorating 令人充满活力的clean slate 一张白纸，比喻崭新的开始hoarder 喜欢囤积东西的人collecting 收集，收藏sentimental value 情感价值nostalgic 怀旧的

Send us a textJoin us for a thought-provoking exploration into the intricate world of French philosophy and its significant impact on leftist thought, featuring insights from our esteemed guest, Jon Repetti of the Five Good Hours Substack and a PhD candidate at Princeton. What hidden influences shaped Althusser's theories, and how did Lacan's medieval Catholic roots contribute to his work? This episode promises to unravel these complexities, offering listeners a comprehensive understanding of how French intellectuals like Lacan, Althusser, Deleuze, and others perceive and critique the state.Our conversation takes a fascinating turn as we delve into the complex relationship between Marxism, existentialism, and psychoanalysis, exploring the critiques and contributions of pivotal figures such as Althusser, Sartre, and Badiou. We question the left's embrace of Lacan and investigate how Lacanian psychoanalysis intersected with Maoist ideologies, influencing French intellectual circles in the post-1968 political landscape. The discussion further explores how these ideas were transformed within American theory, highlighting the challenges of teaching and popularizing French theory within U.S. academic discourse.Unpacking the pedagogical challenges of presenting complex theories without oversimplification, we examine the cultural power and influence of French theorists like Foucault and Kristeva in the American academic scene. Listen as we reflect on the ongoing legacy of French theory, the role of educators in presenting these ideas effectively, and the intriguing cultural dynamics between French and American intellectual traditions. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or new to the world of continental thought, this episode offers valuable insights into the enduring relevance and transformation of French theory across the Atlantic.

In episode 73, Gregg welcomes Professor Rick Repetti. Rick is a philosopher who has long standing interests in meditation, the self, agency, and free will. He was previously on an Inside UTOK conversation with Gregg, where his shared his views of the meaning crisis, work with John Vervaeke, and his development of a new vision for truth systems call the Knowledge Coin. In this episode, he and Gregg talk about the concept of free will in relationship to Robert Sapolsky's new book, Determined: The Science of Life Without Free Will. Both Gregg and Rick agree that Sapolsky provided a very weak argument, one that was lacking in philosophical sophistication and was anchored to an outmoded, reductive view of scientific knowledge. In addition, his conclusions about how we justify blame and responsibility are poorly defined and dangerous. UTOK provides a much clearer view on how to understand human agency and processes of justification pertaining to blame and praise.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Rick Repetti - - - ℹ️ Homepage: https://www.rickrepetti.com/ ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx

Rick Repetti's Routledge Handbook on the Philosophy of Meditation (Routledge, 2022) provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the state of the field of the philosophy of meditation and engages primarily in the philosophical assessment of the merits of meditation practices. This Handbook unites novel and original scholarship from 28 leading Asian and Western philosophers, scientists, theologians, and other scholars on the philosophical assessment of meditation. It critically assesses the conceptual and empirical validity of meditation, its philosophical implications, its legitimacy as a phenomenological research tool, its potential value as an aid to neuroscience research, its many practical benefits, and, among other considerations, its possibly misleading interpretations, applications, and consequences. Following the introduction by the editor, the Handbook's chapters are organized in six parts: - Meditation and philosophy - Meditation and epistemology - Meditation and metaphysics - Meditation and values - Meditation and phenomenology - Meditation in Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian traditions A distinctive, timely, and invaluable reference work, it marks the emergence of a new discipline therein, the philosophy of meditation. The book will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience in the fields of philosophy, meditation, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, theology, and Asian and Western philosophy. It will serve as the textbook in any philosophy course on meditation, and as secondary reading in courses in philosophy of mind, consciousness, selfhood/personhood, metaphysics, or phenomenology, thereby helping to restore philosophy as a way of life.

In TYPOLOGIES OF MEDITATION, Professor Rick Repetti joins Layman & Bruce again for an open dialogue on philosophy, meditation, and the philosophy of meditation. In this episode, they discuss typologies of meditation -- considering the nature of meditation, its transformative functions, its possible psychological and neurological mechanisms, its possible evolutionary roots, and how to conceive of the relationship of the many forms of meditation and contemplative practice across world religious traditions. What kinds of taxonomies can make sense of the field? The dialogue opens more questions than it answers -- a first pass at identifying the complexity of the field and some of the challenges ahead to approaching the topic scientifically and philosophically.

Welcome to a new series of Realising Your Potential. Every week Anj speaks to inspiring women about their leadership journeys, the challenges they've faced and the lessons they've learnt. Together they explore what organisations can do to drive gender equality and how we can all realise our potential. In today's episode Anj chats to Christina Repetti, senior project manager at Accolade Wines. Christina began her career in the early days of digital marketing, where she found herself working for a company that was majority-male. Through a series of amazing mentors and professional opportunities she grabbed with both hands, Christina was able to meet people who not only helped her continue moving forward in her career but also inspired her to start paying it forward herself. We believe in the power of conversation and gaining new ways of thinking that inspire, educate and empower you to Realise Your Potential.

In this episode of Apex LevelToPower, we chat with actor Mark Pellegrino, Philosophy Professor Rick Repetti and former lecturer Jeffery Williams to discuss Ayn Rand's criticism of Immanuel Kant. Ayn Rand argued that Immanuel Kant built the case for Reason but left the back door open for faith, thus betraying his charge. **NOTE: At the request of the debate participants this video podcast is unedited "The man who . . . closed the door of philosophy to reason, was Immanuel Kant. . . ." - Rand "Kant’s expressly stated purpose was to save the morality of self-abnegation and self-sacrifice. He knew that it could not survive without a mystic base—and what it had to be saved from was reason." - Rand Is Rand's critique of Kant fair?

We tracked down Cal State Fullerton Head Baseball Coach Rick Vanderhook to get his thoughts on how the position players and hitters are shaping up coming out of fall practice. In Episode 35, we spoke to Pitching Coach Dan Ricabal about the arms and in this episode, Hook reveals who Titan Baseball fans can expect to see out in the field and at the plate.Vanderhook had high praise for outfielders Jackson Lyon and Jason Brandow along with catcher Kameron Guangorena for maximizing their time during the COVID-19 shutdowns. All three of those players returned to campus improved players both physically and mentally. Hook also noted that Cameron Repetti, JJ Cruz and Caden Connor took advantage of the time away and all improved on their size and strength over the summer. Hook hints that Repetti has the potential to be another Titan to make it to Major League Baseball in the future.Make sure to hear who Hook has labeled "the secret weapon" of the team based on his versatility and overall talent in addition to learning which newcomers could sneak in and earn some playing time and at-bats to contribute on opening day.Overall, Hook is pleased with what he saw and what he and his coaching staff were able to accomplish despite COVID-19 protocols, practice limitations all while keeping his student-athletes safe during a global pandemic.Please subscribe to the show on whatever platform you are listening and share with family and friends.

"The philosophy of Objectivism holds that all human knowledge is reached through reason, the human mental faculty of understanding the world abstractly and logically. Aristotle called man "the rational animal" because it is the faculty of reason that most distinguishes humans from other creatures. But we do not reason automatically. We are beings of free will and we are fallible. This is why we need the science of knowledge—epistemology—to teach us what knowledge is and how to achieve it."

Today’s episode is about a book I read way before I started the podcast, called All Joy and No Fun (http://amzn.to/2FPKaCC)  (Affiliate link) by Jennifer Senior. I actually got a question from a listener recently asking me whether there’s any research on whether and how her divorce might have impacted her son’s development. It turns out that there is, and quite a lot – so I decided to make a series out of it. We’ll have one episode on how divorce impacts children, and a second on single parenting and step families, and we’ll open the whole lot up with this one on All Joy and No Fun, which is basically about the idea that if you ask a parent what is their greatest joy they will invariably say “my kids,” but if you ask them moment-by-moment if they’re having fun with their children then unfortunately the answer is pretty often “no.” I know that a lot of factors can lead to divorce but surely “all joy and no fun” is among them, so it sort of seemed like it fit with the other two topics. Since I first read the book several months ago I’ve had a chance to think about it a bit, so I’ll start as usual with the research and will end with some ideas on how we can change our approach so we can have “some joy and some fun too.” References Campos B., Graesch, A.P., Repetti, R., Bradbury, T., & Ochs, E.

Before we get going today, I’d like to ask you for a favor.  I’ve been doing some reading about goal setting lately and I’ve read that if you set a goal you should both tell other people about it and ask for help in achieving it, so I’d like to do that today.  I’ve set a goal for myself to double the number of subscribers I have to this podcast – subscribing doesn’t cost anything at all; it just means that new episodes show up in your podcast feed when they’re released on a weekly basis, so you don’t have to remember to go and look for them.  Weekly podcasts on science-based parenting advice delivered straight to your feed?  What could be better?  The trick here is that if you subscribe through iTunes, I’m afraid I can’t count that as meeting my goal – iTunes never actually tells podcasters that a person has subscribed or how many subscribers I might have in iTunes at any...

So, we all know the old saying, “You can’t change your spouse, you can only change yourself”. Well, apparently that saying isn’t 100% true. You can actually leverage your self-care to feel better about yourself and consequently, improve the well being of your marriage. Self-care is integral to the health of our marriages. There are not a lot of studies to 100% prove the link between self-care and marriage where, for example, they study exercise and measure marital outcomes, but we want to look at the overall idea of taking good care of ourselves by eating well, exercising, sleeping and making leisure time because this does become a marital issue. You see, when we fail to take care of ourselves, our mood, stress levels, and emotional responses all suffer. This, in turn, has a detrimental effect on the people around us. Think about how this works. Husband is stressed so doesn’t sleep well. This causes the wife not to sleep well. As husband gets tired, he becomes more quiet and withdrawn; as wife gets tired, she gets grumpy. Soon there is an attacker-withdrawer cycle going on. (Don’t ask me how I know this.) The research, as well as real-life, shows us that emotions, hormones, moods and stress levels of a couple are intimately tied together. This comes into play through a phenomenon in marriage that is known as coregulation. Take Care of Yourself Work through the key areas of self care with this self-guided worksheet. Available to our patrons (become a patron today to receive immediate access).I Want It! Coregulation in Marriage Coregulation is the dynamic, reciprocal interchange between partners across multiple biological systems.[i] That just means that we influence each other’s emotions and well-being. This is an important dynamic at play in our marriages and it is happening automatically all the time. You don’t even think about it! It goes in both directions so that spouses can pull each other up or pull each other down. The good part of this is that it helps us stay in sync and hopefully reach out to each other and lift each other up. Coregulation Ties Spouse’s Emotions Together A study in 2008, looked at how couples affected each other after spending time apart pursuing their own activities. They found that if a couple scored high on interpersonal insecurity (ie. They felt insecure about their relationship) then if one spouse reunited with negatives emotions the other spouse got on board with those negative emotions right away. On the other hand, if the husband was the type of guy who was willing to see his wife’s perspective and they came back together with softer negative emotions (like sadness or gloominess) then they would also match emotions. There are other variables at play, but the point is that any couple’s emotions are interconnected pretty quickly when they reunite after pursuing individual activities.[ii] For example, if the husband gets home and the wife is angry, he’s likely to get on board with that. If she is sad, he’ll join her in her sadness. We don’t want to oversimplify because there are other variables at play, but the point is that generally, we do have this emotional pull on each other. We are – to some degree- tied at the hip when it comes to emotions. Coregulation Ties Spouse’s Hormones and Moods Together It’s funny what studies researchers think up sometimes… Saxbe and Repetti took saliva samples to measure cortisol levels in 30 married couples, multiple times a day over three days. “How’s your marriage? Just spit in this little cup right here.” They found that a couple’s cortisol levels (cortisol is the 'stress' hormone) moved together. They also found that couples’ mood moved together.[iii] The same thing was found when another study looked specifically at stress levels and compared the genders. It was found that wives had a greater impact on husbands than husbands did on wives. It actually was noted that high-stress levels on the wife’s part had a pretty significant impact on th...

Have you ever been in that place? You know, you come home from work… the house is a mess… you don’t want to be there… you’re yelling at the kids… you’re yelling at your spouse because your environment is a mess but it’s like your inside is a mess and your emotions are a mess too. Nobody likes to live like that. Not only that – it’s not good for you either. That’s why we interviewed Marla Cilley, a housekeeping guru commonly known as FlyLady, for some tips on how to get out of this chaos. You'll definitely want to listen to this interview from start to finish! First, though, I was curious if there was any scientific research surrounding stress levels and home environments. It turns out there is. Wives who described their homes as more restorative (meaning they enjoyed their home environment) had lower stress levels and less depressed mood across the day. Conversely, wives who described their homes as more stressful had indicators (a flatter slope of diurnal cortisol) of chronic stress. Those indicators are typically associated with adverse health outcomes. Apparently, husbands are not affected so much by the home environment, as there was really a null result for them. The conclusion is that wives feel more responsibility for the home environment.[i] The same researcher found an association between wive’s marital satisfaction and the flatter slop of diurnal cortisol. We all know that correlation doesn’t imply causation, but we think it is reasonable to conclude that if you find your home environment stressful, particularly as a wife, you’ll likely to have decreased marital satisfaction. The converse is true as well.[ii] So, I think it is safe to say that taking care of your home is another way of taking care of your marriage. We are not asking wives to do this, but we want both of you to take this seriously and figure out how to divide up the responsibilities. Not only does the research show that home environments affect the diurnal cortisol which impacts marital satisfaction, but the same theme carries over to parenting. Findings show that maladaptive parenting styles and child emotionality both increase in cluttered homes. The researchers saw this as being mediated by maternal tenseness.[iii] The case we’re making here is that creating a home environment that is peaceful and has some sense of serenity and calm is a blessing to your marriage and your family. That’s why we interviewed FlyLady – to ask her how to help young couples get their homes organized and kept tidy. She gave us some awesome information including: Where to start – especially if you’ve got a company A different focus for each month of the year How to build a routine How to get rid of your perfectionism How to break your home into zones so it’s not so overwhelming How to create that relaxing environment you want to come home to How to save money in the kitchen.
