C dans l'air l'invité du 8 septembre 2025 avec Dominique ROUSSEAU, juriste et professeur de droit constitutionnel.En se soumettant à un vote de confiance ce lundi, le Premier ministre devrait entrainer la démission de son gouvernement. En arrivant à Matignon pour succéder à Michel Banier, le 13 décembre dernier, François Bayrou disait : « Je sais que les chances de difficultés sont beaucoup plus importantes que les chances de succès ». Neuf mois plus tard, son discours à la tribune de l'Assemblée nationale aujourd'hui devrait sonner comme un baroud d'honneur. L'ensemble des oppositions a en effet fait savoir qu'elle voterait contre la question de confiance à l'Assemblée nationale. La chute de François Bayrou devrait ouvrir une nouvelle période d'incertitude. Le projet de loi de finances doit être, théoriquement, examiné au Parlement à partir du 15 octobre pour une publication au « Journal officiel » au plus tard le 31 décembre. Et ce, alors que les taux d'intérêt de la dette française s'envolent et que l'agence de notation Fitch doit rendre son verdict le 12 septembre sur la note souveraine de la France. Les turbulences au sommet de l'État auront aussi un impact sur la rentrée sociale, déjà marquée par le mouvement « Bloquons tout » du 10 septembre et par la mobilisation intersyndicale du 18 septembre. Dans ce contexte, Emmanuel Macron se retrouve en première ligne. Dominique Rousseau nous donnera son analyse de la situation politique actuelle, et de ce que devrait faire le président de la République en cas de chute du gouvernement Bayrou. Il reviendra également avec nous sur la crise de régime qui inquiète les observateurs, et sur l'efficacité ou non des institutions de de la Vème République pour résoudre l'impasse politique dans laquelle la France pourrait être plongée.

Premier Bart De Wever pakte opnieuw uit met zijn talenkennis bij zijn Duitse evenknie Merz. Want ironisch genoeg spreekt de Vlaams-nationalistische premier de drie landstalen beter dan zijn voorgangers. We trekken ook naar het Midden-Oosten want de Gaza-crisis blijft de federale regering beroeren. Afsluiten doen we in Nederland, waar het CDA met een opvallend voorstel komt: een “vrijheidsbijdrage” voor burgers en bedrijven.

Miroslav Volf critiques ambition, love of status, and superiority, offering a Christ-shaped vision of agapic love and humble glory.“'And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?' If you received everything you have as a gift and if your existence as the recipient is also a gift, all ground for boasting is gone. Correspondingly, striving for superiority over others, seeking to make oneself better than others and glorying in that achievement, is possible only as an existential lie. It is not just a lie that all strivers and boasters tell themselves. More troublingly, that lie is part of the ideology that is the wisdom of a certain twisted and world-negating form of the world.”In Lecture 5, the final of his Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf offers a theological and moral vision that critiques the dominant culture of ambition, superiority, and status. Tracing the destructive consequences of Epithumic desire and the relentless “race of honors,” Volf contrasts them with agapic love—God's self-giving, unconditional love. Drawing from Paul's Christ hymn in Philippians 2 and philosophical insights from Rousseau, Nietzsche, and Max Scheler, Volf reveals the radical claim that striving for superiority is not merely harmful but fundamentally false. Through Christ's self-emptying, even to the point of death, we glimpse a redefinition of glory that subverts all worldly hierarchies. The love that saves is the love that descends. In a world ravaged by competition, inequality, and devastation, Volf calls for fierce, humble, and world-affirming love—a love that mends what can be mended, and makes the world home again.Episode Highlights“Striving for superiority over others… is possible only as an existential lie.”“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“God cancels the standards of the kind of aspiration whose goal is superiority.”“This is neither self-denial nor denial of the world. This is love for the world at work.”Show NotesAgapic love vs. Epithemic desire and self-centered striving“Striving for superiority… is possible only as an existential lie.”Paul's hymn in Philippians 2 and the “race of shame”Rousseau: striving for superiority gives us “a multitude of bad things”Nietzsche's critique of Christianity and pursuit of powerMax Scheler: downward love, not upward striving“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”Self-love as agapic: “I am entirely a gift to myself.”Raphael's Transfiguration and the chaos belowDemon possession as symbolic of systemic and spiritual powerlessness“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“The world is the home of God and humans together.”God's love affirms the dignity of even the most unlovable creatureLove as spontaneous overflow, not moral condescension“Mending what can be mended… mourning with those who mourn and dancing with those who rejoice.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

In 2022 Counterweight, the organization that Helen Pluckrose founded and that was absorbed into the Institute for Liberal Values had a virtual conference on Alternatives to Diversity and Inclusion. Starting in 2025, we will be rolling out one talk a month that was presented at the conference. We sit down with the original presenters throughout 2025 to see what has changed since 2022. With Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives seemingly on the chopping block, we are curious to hear what our original participants are witnessing and experiencing on the ground. Is DEI really dead or just in remission? Are there healthy alternatives to DEI that we should consider, or do we throw the baby out with the bathwater and wipe our hands clean? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments.This month Jennifer Richmond interviews Lyell Asher.  In the update to his original talk on Liberal Approaches to Diversity and Inclusion, where he gave us suggestions on how ways to “hack” DEI, we explore what has changed since 2022. His methods of introducing complexity and nuance into DEI conversations remains a viable “hack” for DEI, but we note that the fervor for DEI training has subsided or maybe gone underground. However, what has not changed much is the rise of the “bureaucratic class” in academia, responsible for implementing ideological pedagogy that maligns the pursuit of knowledge.Podcast Notes:How Ed Schools Became a Menace to Higher Education, Lyell Asher in Quillette https://quillette.com/2019/03/06/how-ed-schools-became-a-menace-to-higher-education/Look Who's Talking About Equity, Lyell Asher in Quillette https://quillette.com/2020/08/12/look-whos-talking-about-educational-equity/Understanding Ed School Ideology and Dysfunction | Lyell Asher, Hold my Drink Podcast (now Dissidents Podcast)Why Knowledge Matters: Rescuing Our Children from Failed Educational Theories, E.D.

We live in an age where “compassion” and “tolerance” are paraded as the highest virtues. But when mercy is divorced from truth, it becomes cruelty in disguise. Rabbi Dunner takes us on a journey from Rousseau to Parshas Re'eh, and from woke politics to Rambam, to discover why the Torah warns us: “lo tachmol velo techaseh alav” — that false compassion destroys.

The Secular Enlightenment by Professor Margaret C. Jacob, has been called a major new history on how the Enlightenment transformed people's everyday lives. It's a panoramic account of the radical ways that life began to change for ordinary people in the age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this landmark book, familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics, pantheists, pornographers, readers, and travelers. Jacob, one of our most esteemed historians of the Enlightenment, reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life. Human frailties once attributed to sin were now viewed through the lens of the newly conceived social sciences. People entered churches not to pray but to admire the architecture, and some began to spend their Sunday mornings reading a newspaper or even a risqué book. The secular-minded pursued their own temporal and commercial well-being without concern for the life hereafter, regarding their successes as the rewards for their actions and their failures as the result of blind economic forces. A wonderful work of intellectual and cultural history, The Secular Enlightenment demonstrates how secular values and pursuits took hold of eighteenth-century Europe, spilled into the American colonies, and left their lasting imprint on the Western world for generations to come. Margaret Jacob is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her many books include The Radical Enlightenment: Pantheists, Freemasons, and Republicans and The First Knowledge Economy: Human Capital and the European Economy, 1750-1850.

Professor Kozlowski tackles the French Enlightenment with excerpts from Montesquieu and Rousseau. The first is an orderly, encyclopedic thinker trying to categorize and classify every element of political philosophy; the second may well be a proto-Anarchist masquerading as an Enlightenment mainstay. Really, what were we expecting from the French?Readings today come from Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws, as well as The Social Contract and "Discourse on the Origin of Inequality" by Rousseau.Additional readings include Voltaire's Candide and Moliere's Don Juan, as well as a casual suggestion that you should read some David Hume, (here's an especially representative collection). And of course, today's video game recommendation is Europa Universalis.

Send us a textIn The Social Contract, the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau suggested that democracy was feasible only in smaller polities where the citizens have shared common interests. What might Rousseau have to say about the current-day United States, with its sprawling national government and a citizenry that can't even agree on basic facts? Joe and Mark revisit their college classrooms to discuss Rousseau's concept of the general will, whether it's achievable in a large country, or whether local politics provides its only true expression.

Broadcast: August 15, 2025 Todd Thompson kicks off his new weekly broadcast with a personal and philosophical deep-dive into the moral void left by a culture replacing "God" with ideological religion. What begins as a true story from 2008—being stranded in rural North Carolina and picked up by a Christian biker—becomes the anchor for a larger revelation: that modern “atheists” didn't abandon religion. They just swapped it for something more dangerous—a punishing, re-branded Marxist orthodoxy obnoxiously masquerading as progress. Inside: A raw account of a chance meeting with “The Lord's Bikers” and a sermon by Pastor Snake that shattered preconceptions. Reflections on Dennis, Andre, and other real travel encounters that shaped Todd's rejection of utopianism and return to spiritual humility. A dismantling of Rousseau's Noble Savage fantasy and the rise of moral performance on the virtual street corner over honest introspection ad accountability. A hard pivot in the final segment: the enemy isn't religion—it's re-named Marxist ideology weaponized as moral law. This episode marks the beginning of what Todd now calls The Todd-God Alliance. A spiritual and strategic realignment, not rooted in doctrine, but in shared Western values and a common enemy: ideological colonizers cloaked in performative compassion. “The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.” - Solzhenitsyn

To celebrate the release on July 29th of The War on Science, we have recorded 20 podcast interviews with authors from the book. Starting on July 22nd, with Richard Dawkins, we will be releasing one interview per day. Interviewees in order, will be:Richard Dawkins July 23rdNiall Ferguson July 24thNicholas Christakis July 25thMaarten Boudry July 26thAbigail Thompson July 27thJohn Armstrong July 28thSally Satel – July 30Elizabeth Weiss – July 31Solveig Gold and Joshua Katz – August 1Frances Widdowson – August 2Carole Hooven – August 3Janice Fiamengo – August 4Geoff Horsman – August 5Alessandro Strumia – August 6Roger Cohen and Amy Wax – August 7Peter Boghossian – August 8Lauren Schwartz and Arthur Rousseau – August 9Alex Byrne and Moti Gorin – August 10Judith Suissa and Alice Sullivan – August 11Karleen Gribble – August 12Dorian Abbot – August 13The topics these authors discuss range over ideas including the ideological corruption of science, historical examples of the demise of academia, free speech in academia, social justice activism replacing scholarship in many disciplines, disruptions of science from mathematics to medicine, cancel culture, the harm caused by DEI bureaucracies at universities, distortions of biology, disingenous and dangerous distortions of the distinctions between gender and sex in medicine, and false premises impacting on gender affirming care for minors, to, finally, a set of principles universities should adopt to recover from the current internal culture war. The dialogues are blunt, and provocative, and point out the negative effects that the current war on science going on within universities is having on the progress of science and scholarship in the west. We are hoping that the essays penned by this remarkable group of scholars will help provoke discussion both within universities and the public at large about how to restore trust, excellence, merit, and most important sound science, free speech and free inquiry on university campuses. Many academics have buried their heads in the sand hoping this nonsense will go away. It hasn't and we now need to become more vocal, and unified in combatting this modern attack on science and scholarship. The book was completed before the new external war on science being waged by the Trump administration began. Fighting this new effort to dismantle the scientific infrastructure of the country is important, and we don't want to minimized that threat. But even if the new attacks can be successfully combatted in Congress, the Courts, and the ballot box, the longstanding internal issues we describe in the new book, and in the interviews we are releasing, will still need to be addressed to restore the rightful place of science and scholarship in the west. I am hoping that you will find the interviews enlightening and encourage you to look at the new book when it is released, and help become part of the effort to restore sound science and scholarship in academia. With no further ado, The War on Science interviews…As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

Jeff Rousseau's story is one of redemption and difficult recovery. In the 1990s, Jeff fell into addiction and found himself caught in a world of meth—one that would ravage northeast Arkansas for decades. After multiple run-ins with the law, he eventually landed in prison, where he encountered Christ and began a slow but determined path to healing. Along the way, Jeff managed Paragould's beloved Bonanza restaurant (and even shares the secret Monterrey Chicken recipe), battled Lyme disease, and survived a severe case of COVID that left him on a ventilator and facing the possibility of a double lung transplant. But in a moment doctors couldn't explain, the scars in his lungs were gone. In this episode, Jeff reflects on what God has done, how far he's come, and where he's going next.

We're still not done with Libra – or Libra is not done with us! In Episode 28, DDSWTNP pick up threads left hanging after our three-part treatment of DeLillo's JFK novel. While tackling a wide variety of subjects, this episode homes in on Anthony DeCurtis's 1988 interview with DeLillo for Rolling Stone (and later re-published in expanded form), “An Outsider in This Society.” We're led to discuss DeLillo's canny interview articulations in general, his method of writing by day and reading more history by night, and his reply to the suggestion that on the basis of Libra some readers regarded him as “a member of the paranoid left”: “I don't have a program.” Along the way we also draw in vivid evidence of how DeLillo subtly reworked the voice of Marguerite Oswald from testimony in the Warren Report, what fellow Oswald novelist Norman Mailer had to say about Libra, and all that is illuminated by an exchange of letters to the New York Times between DeLillo and one of the Warren Report investigators. We also try here to understand as fully as possible the nuances of DeLillo's ideas about historical fiction that emerge in the incredible DeCurtis interview: what DeLillo means when he says Libra is “a piece of work which is obviously fiction,” touts novels' ability to “redeem” readers' “despair,” and makes the powerful claim that “fiction rescues history from its confusions.” We quote enough that listeners will get plenty of insight even without having read the DeCurtis interview in full, and we look forward to applying many of the lessons about history learned here to future works like Underworld. “Some stories never end,” as DeLillo writes to begin “Assassination Aura,” and that's true of this episode's cover image, which uses a National Enquirer cover from March 2025 about new releases of JFK files. The interlude clip near the beginning is from Oswald's August 1963 interviews on WDSU-TV in New Orleans.

The Secular Enlightenment by Professor Margaret C. Jacob, has been called a major new history on how the Enlightenment transformed people's everyday lives. It's a panoramic account of the radical ways that life began to change for ordinary people in the age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this landmark book, familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics, pantheists, pornographers, readers, and travelers. Jacob, one of our most esteemed historians of the Enlightenment, reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life.

Greg lays the intellectual foundation for how the "noble savage" trope, rooted in Enlightenment thinkers like Rousseau, converges with the Reformation's Black Legend to demonize Catholicism in popular culture. Tracing the noble savage from ancient Greece to Romanticism, he shows how it idealizes the "exotic other" as pure while portraying the Church as corrupt, amplified by Protestant propaganda that cast Catholic Spain as uniquely cruel. This narrative oversimplifies history, ignores secular brutalities, and promotes relativism, clashing with Catholic teachings on original sin and redemption. Greg previews upcoming conversations with Ed the Protestant, where they'll explore how Hollywood builds on these ideas to shape perceptions of the Church.

Avec : Aurélien Rousseau, ancien ministre de la Santé, député "Place publique" des Yvelines. - L'invité de l'actu, tous les jours au micro de Matthieu Belliard dans Apolline Matin sur RMC.

Maximilien Robespierre es una de las figuras más controvertidas de la Revolución Francesa. Encarna mejor que ningún otro las contradicciones de un proceso que reclamaba libertad pero que terminó en el baño de sangre del Terror revolucionario. Nacido en Arrás en el seno de una familia burguesa, su infancia estuvo marcada por la tragedia: primero la muerte de su madre y luego el abandono de su padre le forzaron a asumir responsabilidades familiares desde muy joven, algo que moldeó su carácter convirtiéndole en un hombre extremadamente serio y reservado. Este trauma infantil alimentó su obsesión por el orden y justicia. Influido por el pensamiento de Rousseau, esa misma obsesión la proyectaría en su ideal de la "república de la virtud”. Educado en el prestigioso Colegio Louis-le-Grand de París, destacó como un estudiante brillante, admirador de la virtud cívica romana y de las ideas ilustradas. Tras graduarse en derecho, regresó a Arrás como abogado, donde se ganó muy buena reputación defendiendo causas perdidas y abogando por la razón frente a la superstición. Con la convocatoria de los Estados Generales en 1789 decidió presentarse a las elecciones para representar al tercer estado. Consiguió ser elegido y se trasladó a Versalles ya como diputado por la provincia de Artesia. En la Asamblea Nacional se hizo muy conocido como un defensor intransigente de los principios democráticos, defendía en minoría el sufragio universal, la abolición de la pena de muerte, de la esclavitud, y clamaba por los derechos de las minorías como los protestantes y los judíos. Aunque sus propuestas solían ser rechazadas, su coherencia le valió el apodo de "el incorruptible”. Se hizo también con la presidencia del club de los Jacobinos, donde se convirtió en casi su única voz tras la fuga de Luis XVI en 1791. Esto radicalizó sus posturas. Empezó a ver en la monarquía y en los moderados una amenaza contrarrevolucionaria que había que eliminar de raíz. Con la proclamación de la República en 1792 instigó la creación del Comité de Salvación Pública un año más tarde. Este Comité inauguraría la fase más negra y sangrienta de la revolución, la del Terror, un régimen represivo y violento que Robespierre y los jacobinos creían que era necesario para salvar a la Revolución de sus enemigos. Leyes como la de sospechosos o la del 22 de pradial permitieron detenciones arbitrarias y ejecuciones sistemáticas de todos los adversarios del poder jacobino. Al final se empezaron a guillotinar entre ellos. Su visión de una "República de la Virtud” que lo abarcase todo le llevó a promover el culto al Ser Supremo, un intento de unificar moralmente a Francia, pero su autoritarismo, su paranoia y sus ínfulas de iluminado alejaron incluso a sus aliados más cercanos. Meses después de la ejecución de Danton, el 9 de Termidor (27 de julio de 1794), una coalición de opositores en la Convención le derrocó. Arrestado tras un intento fallido de insurrección, Robespierre fue ejecutado sin juicio al día siguiente. Los termidorianos le convirtieron en el chivo expiatorio de los excesos revolucionarios creando a su alrededor una "leyenda negra" que le presentaba como el único culpable de todo lo que había pasado. Mucho tiempo después el marxismo reivindicó su figura como la de un precursor de sus ideas. Robespierre personifica el dilema del revolucionario que, en pos de una sociedad supuestamente mejor y más justa, recurre a la violencia extrema. Es el símbolo de los peligros del fanatismo ideológico y de la siempre complicada relación entre fines y medios en la lucha por el poder.

So who killed privacy? It's the central question of Tiffany Jenkins' provocative new history of private life, Strangers and Intimates. The answer, according to Jenkins, is that we are all complicit—having gradually and often accidentally contributed to privacy's demise from the 16th century onwards. Luther started it by challenging Papal religious authority and the public sacraments, thereby creating the necessity of private conscience. Then came Enlightenment philosophers like Locke and Hobbes who carved out bounded private political and economic spheres establishing the foundations for modern capitalism and democracy. Counter-enlightenment romantics like Rousseau reacted against this by fetishizing individual innocence and authenticity, while the Victorians elevated the domestic realm as sacred. Last but not least, there's Mark Zuckerberg's socially networked age, in which we voluntarily broadcast our private lives to a worldwide audience. But why, I ask Jenkins, should we care about the death of private life in our current hyper-individualistic age? Can it be saved by more or less obsession with the self? Or might it require us to return to the world before Martin Luther, a place Thomas More half satiricizes Utopia, where “private life” was a dangerously foreign idea. 1. Privacy is a Historical Accident, Not a Natural Human Condition"There was a sense in which you shouldn't do anything privately that they wouldn't do publicly... This wasn't a kind of property-based private life." Jenkins argues that before the 17th century, the very concept of leading a separate private life didn't exist—privacy as we understand it is a relatively recent invention.2. Martin Luther Accidentally Created Modern Privacy Through Religious Rebellion"Luther inadvertently... authorized the self as against, in his case, the Catholic Church... if you follow the debates over the kind of beginnings of a private sphere and its expansion, whether you're reading Locke or Hobbes, there's a discussion about... the limits of authority." Luther's challenge to religious authority unintentionally created the need for private conscience, sparking centuries of development toward individual privacy.3. The Digital Age Represents a Return to Pre-Privacy Transparency"I think we do live in a period where there is little distinction between public and private, where the idea that you might keep something to yourself is seen as strange, as inauthentic." Jenkins suggests our current era of social media oversharing resembles pre-modern times more than the Victorian peak of privacy.4. Modern Loneliness Stems From Social Fragmentation, Not Individual Psychology"I sometimes wonder if we're pathologizing, actually, what is a social problem, which is a society where people are fragmented, not quite sure how to go beyond themselves... I would see that as a social problem." Rather than treating loneliness as a personal issue, Jenkins argues it reflects the breakdown of intermediate institutions between family and state.5. Technology Doesn't Determine Our Privacy—We Do"Can't blame the tech, tech isn't the problem... It comes down really to what sort of society we want to live in and how we want to be treated. That's not a technical thing. That has not to do with technology. That's to do humans." Jenkins rejects technological determinism, arguing that privacy's fate depends on human choices about social organization, not inevitable technological forces.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, lower federal courts are ignoring Supreme Court rulings, with judges defying the Constitution and law on immigration. In LA, a judge rules that ICE roundups are racist, alleging indiscriminate arrests of brown-skinned people at Home Depots, car washes, farms, etc., due to ethnicity and a 3,000-daily quota. In addition, in New Hampshire, a judge upholds birthright citizenship via national injunction, citing long-standing practice over constitutional analysis. The media ignore this, while actions persist. The judges have changed, not the Constitution. Also, President Trump has made enormous progress domestically and internationally, but institutions are being turned against Americans. Democrats will inevitably win elections and use the permanent government, courts, and administrative state to try to permanently embed their ideology, making it irreversible. Zohran Mamdani's Stalinist Islamist fusion of ideologies has overtaken parts of Europe and is now infiltrating the U.S., funded by entities like Qatar, Hamas, Iran, and Communist China. Later, socialism is an economic ideology from Marxism, which is a broader life ideology encompassing socialism but extending to cultural, social, and political transformation. The modern activists and professors are unoriginal Karl Marx wannabes who regurgitate ideas from Marx, Hegel, and Rousseau. Thery reject individual liberty and free will as divisive and weak, favoring instead class unity and collective power. There is a comprehensive war on civil society, culture, and America's foundations—targeting family, economy, and liberty—rooted in deadly, anti-human Marxist principles that promote genocide and centralized power.  Afterward, there is a vile and destructive element within the Republican Party. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene is undermining Trump and introducing amendments removing $500 million in military aid to Israel from the National Defense Authorization Act.  Finally, Mahmoud Khalil filed a $20 million claim against the Trump administration. Only in America does a pro Hamas protestor like this turnaround and bring a lawsuit when he should never have been here in the first place. David Schoen calls in to explain that Khalil is 100% deportable under U.S. Code sections 1227 and 1182 for endorsing and supporting Hamas. Learn more about your ad choices.

Who or what rules the world today? And by what right?In this episode, your favorite philosophers-on-tap—Talia Bettcher, Rick Lee, and Leigh M. Johnson—pull back the curtain on one of political theory's most enduring (and most elusive) concepts: sovereignty. From dusty monarchs and divine right to corporations, constitutions, and contested rights, they explore how sovereignty continues to shape the world we live in—often in ways we no longer recognize. What is sovereign power? Can it be shared? Is the individual sovereign over themselves—or is that just a liberal fantasy? And in an age of global crises—climate catastrophe, AI proliferation, corporate overreach—does the nation-state still make sense at all?Drawing on thinkers like Jean Bodin, Hobbes, Rousseau, Agamben, and Judith Butler, this lively and rigorous conversation confronts the paradoxes at the heart of sovereignty, including the terrifying possibility that we've inherited concepts that no longer serve us… if they ever did.Grab a drink and settle in for a provocative, globe-spanning conversation on what it means to rule, obey, resist—and live together.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/sovereignty-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Le "mythe du gland de lait" est une expression peu connue du grand public, mais riche de significations, qui remonte à l'Antiquité. Il s'agit d'une image métaphorique désignant une croyance répandue chez certains peuples anciens selon laquelle les premiers humains — ou les premiers âges de l'humanité — vivaient dans un état d'abondance naturelle, où la nourriture était offerte spontanément par la nature, sans travail ni effort.Le gland (fruit du chêne) et le lait (produit nourricier par excellence) deviennent ici des symboles d'une terre nourricière, généreuse et bienveillante, dans laquelle l'humanité vivait en harmonie avec la nature, sans agriculture, sans guerre, et sans hiérarchie sociale. On retrouve cette idée dans le mythe de l'Âge d'or, largement développé par les auteurs antiques comme Hésiode, Ovide ou Lucrèce.Chez Hésiode, dans sa Théogonie puis dans Les Travaux et les Jours, l'Âge d'or est présenté comme une époque révolue où les hommes vivaient comme des dieux : ils ne vieillissaient pas, ne travaillaient pas, et trouvaient leur nourriture sans cultiver la terre. Le gland y apparaît comme une nourriture abondante tombant des arbres, évoquant une nature autosuffisante.L'expression "gland de lait" n'est pas à prendre littéralement. Elle repose sur l'association poétique de deux aliments fondamentaux : le gland, nourriture primitive disponible en forêt, et le lait, nourriture maternelle et symbolique de l'abondance. Ensemble, ils décrivent une vision idéalisée de l'état de nature : une forme de paradis terrestre antérieur à la civilisation.Au fil du temps, ce mythe est repris, revisité et transformé. Au XVIIIe siècle, Rousseau s'en inspire pour nourrir sa réflexion sur l'état de nature et la corruption liée au progrès. L'idée d'une humanité originelle, simple et heureuse, vivant dans une égalité parfaite, hante les débats philosophiques sur l'origine de la société et de l'injustice.Dans une perspective plus moderne, le "mythe du gland de lait" sert à désigner la nostalgie d'un monde perdu, d'un lien rompu entre l'homme et la nature. Il évoque aussi les illusions d'un retour facile à une forme d'abondance naturelle, sans prendre en compte les contraintes écologiques ou les réalités sociales.En résumé, le mythe du gland de lait est une image poétique et politique, née de l'Antiquité, qui célèbre un âge d'or idéalisé où l'homme vivait sans effort, nourri par une nature généreuse. Il continue de nourrir les imaginaires, entre utopie pastorale et critique du monde moderne. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
