On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alan Gregerman, an internationally recognized authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential within all of us. Known as the “Robin Williams of Business Consulting,” Alan brings humor, humanity, and deep insight into how we can adapt, grow, and innovate in a world changing faster than ever before. I couldn't wait to share this podcast with you! My friend and innovation mentor, Alan Gregerman, joined me on On the Brink with Andi Simon for a stimulating conversation that digs into the interesting challenges facing all those who want to find their own best way of innovating. The "Robin Williams of Business Consulting," Alan injects humor, humanity, and leading-edge thinking into the brutal truth about how we need to adapt, change & innovate so now we win in a world changing faster than ever. Alan's latest book, "The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be a Catalyst for Innovation in an Uncertain World," reminds us that our lack of knowledge can be the source of the greatest discovery. During our conversation, we discussed his unique personal journey, his desire to help others reinvent themselves, and the most critical skills for all of us to cultivate to succeed in a world of disruptions. Curiosity Begins Early Alan revealed that his interest in other cultures began in early life. His mother, a specialist in world history, and one cherished gift — an atlas — prompted him never to stop learning and exploring. That early sense of curiosity would eventually form the basis of his career: to help businesses and individuals look beyond what they know, he tells them, to find new ideas in unexpected places. This investigative spirit has characterized his writing, from Lessons from the Sandbox (about reclaiming the creativity of childhood) to Surrounded by Geniuses (on how ordinary people and ideas can spur innovation) to The Necessity of Strangers (for why we must connect with people unlike ourselves). Now, with The Wisdom of Ignorance, he contends that expertise is not sufficient: we must develop the courage to say "I don't know" and use that humility to drive our future expos. Why Adults Resist Change A common refrain in our conversations was how hard it is to make a change. Alan reminded us that whereas 10% of people are quick to embrace new concepts, and another 10% resist vigorously, the rest of us tend to be somewhere in between. This resistance is not only cultural — it's neurological. Because our brains are wired to conserve energy, they will always prefer established habits over new things to learn. It's why Alan emphasized that innovation frequently demands creating small, quantifiable experiments. We can try ideas out incrementally rather than insisting on wholesale change overnight. These experiments help build confidence, reduce fear, and allow us to adjust more organically to the world as it changes. Watch our video of our podcast on YouTube. Wisdom of Ignorance Alan's methodology is based on what he dubs the six fundamental skills for flourishing in uncertain times. Central to them is purpose. Without something transformative and exciting enough to wake up for, innovation merely wanders around aimlessly. Clarity of purpose, whether it's in a for-profit or not-for-profit organization, is what leads to curiosity and experimentation, which begets growth. "When I speak with people at non-profits, one of the common themes you'll hear is a greater sense of purpose than businesses," Alan says that both sectors need to revisit and sharpen their "why constantly." "Best is a space that's kind of a moving target," as he put it. What works today is no guarantee of relevance tomorrow, and without purpose, even the greatest idea can lose its impact. The Six Essential Capabilities of an Innovative Organization Alan boiled it down to six related skills - all of which are the building blocks of his book and consulting practice: 1. Purposefulness – Commit to something worth doing that is meaningful. 2. Curiosity – Ask for inspiration and you will find it, remembering that behind most great ideas is the thinking of others. 3. Humility – Acknowledge we don't have all the answers, discovery starts with an open mind. 4. Respect – Respect everybody and everything, they are coming from somewhere unexpected. 5. Focus Forward – Peer into the future with a focus on newer trends, cultures, and ideas. 6. Paranoia: Stay aware of the fact that competitors and threats are always on your heels. These habits together prompt us to adopt what Santayana gleefully termed "enlightened ignorance" — a stance that appreciates not knowing as yet as the beginning rather than the end of knowledge. Lessons for Leaders As an anthropologist, Alan's take felt eerily familiar. We both believe that growth is often staring organizations in the face, disguised in plain sight — if only they can look beyond their routines and assumptions. Leaders need to push teams out of their comfort zones, provoke new ways of thinking, and acknowledge progress along the journey. Alan cautioned us that our customers aren't loyal because they're devoted to us — they stay with us because switching to another provider seems more complex. But they'll leave as soon as something better comes along. Innovation, therefore, isn't optional. It's survival. Human-Centered Change All this talk of disruption nowadays is mainly centered on technology — and current trend words like AI, Bitcoin, blockchain, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution — but Alan warned us to remember that much more critical forms of change are human and social. From changing values across generations to increasing loneliness and shifting work habits post-COVID, leaders need to pay attention to the people side of transformation. He urges us to reach out to strangers, listen more closely, and pay attention to the subtle signs of change that are all around us. In it, we can transform ignorance into discovery and shape futures that count. A Final Thought Alan's lesson is that you don't have to have all the answers in your mind to do something remarkable. All you need is a sense of purpose, curiosity, humility, respect for others, and a focus on the future — together with just enough paranoia to keep you from being complacent. Most of all, you need to warm up to the wisdom that eighth graders get every single day going into high school: not knowing. For, as these people remind us: "We all actually do have the ability to make a difference. It's something we can attain if we engage in a few crucial behaviors each day." His new book, The Wisdom of Ignorance, was published on October 14 and is available wherever fine books are sold. Key Takeaways: • Lean into what you don't know — that's where the wonder is, and that's where you'll feel becoming. • Purpose orients; small experiments build confidence. • Remain curious, humble, respectful of norms and traditions while remaining future-oriented, and a bit paranoid. • The human and social change is at least as important as the technological disruption. • Each and every one can make a difference one step at a time.

Este pasaje es impactante, nos enseña que los hombres nunca aprenden nada de la historia. La famosa frese: “Aquel que no conoce su historia está condenado a repetirla”, esta frase se atribuye en primera instancia a Napoleón Bonaparte pero también se dice que quien inició con esta evaluación del pasado, presente y futuro, fue el filósofo español Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana cuando dijo: “Aquellos que no recuerdan el pasado están condenados a repetirlo”.Escribió Salomón: “No hay nuevo bajo el sol”, para Salomón la historia se convierte en un ciclo interminable y los hombres y naciones parecen atravesar siempre por las mismas circunstancias sin aprender nada y auto destruyéndose.Dios y su Palabra deben ser el centro de todo ser humano, de no ser así, El hombre está condenado a una consecuencia terrible.Solo por mencionar unos versos que en el Nuevo Testamento citan, es que lo que está en el antiguo testamento fue escrito como ejemplo o modelo para no repetir lo que ellos hicieron:1 Corintios 10:6-13, la historia bíblica nos da el mejor y amplio panorama de los pecados mortales que destruyeron a Israel y también la manera en que debemos actuar.
Nos trasladamos con Álvaro Anula hasta la calle de San Bernardo, número 67. Es allí donde tenemos que situarnos porque hay una placa que nos cuenta que allí vivióun filósofo, poeta y novelista de los siglos 19 y 20. Se encargó de volver a estrechar lazos entre América y España en una época en donde estaban un tanto “deshilachados”. Hablamos de Jorge Santayana.

Alfonso Goizueta conversa con José María Pardo de Santayana, coronel del Ejército de Tierra y analista geopolítico, y Pedro Rodríguez, director de contenidos de la Revista Política Exterior y profesor de Relaciones Internacionales, en el tercer aniversario de la invasión de Ucrania. En febrero de 2022, la Rusia de Vladimir Putin invadió a su vecino dando comienzo a una guerra cruenta que ha dejado miles de muertos y sacudido el escenario internacional. Tres años después, esta guerra de agresión puede acabar en los mejores términos para Rusia con la ayuda de la Administración Trump y pese a la movilización de la mayoría de países europeos y de la UE. ¿Cómo se ha desarrollado esta contienda en el plano militar? ¿Vamos camino de una partición de Ucrania? ¿Qué nuevo mundo enfrentamos?
It is amazing that words uttered when years could still be written with two digits are a laser light exposing reality 2,000 years after the fact. It is a perfect example of Santayana's maxim that the past is repeated by those who can't remember (or read) it. None of us were in existence during the life of Seneca and most Americans are too incestuously nationalistic to put credence in the brilliance of anyone not born on US soil to European origin parents let alone read anything not originally written in English making them vulnerable to repeating mistakes others removed from the repertoire long, long ago.
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When I look around today, I feel a sense of nostalgia. After all, we have campus demonstrations, political assassinations, a sexual revolution, and crime, just to name a few of the similarities. This makes me believe Santayana was correct, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." You know what they say: If you can remember the '60s, you weren't really there...

Spanish philosopher George Santayana didn't have Palestine in mind when he coined the phrase, ‘history repeats itself.' Yet, Mr. Santayana's maxim may apply to Hamas when comparing the group's political evolution to the 16-year-torturous road traversed by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from classification by Israel and its Western allies as a terrorist organization to establishing the Palestine Authority on Israeli-occupied Palestinian land.
Aunque no especialmente célebre en España, la figura de George Santayana es esencial para comprender el desarrollo de la filosofía tanto en nuestro país como en el extranjero.
Santayana is credited with saying "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." New York City is considering sending a good chunk of US history down the "memory hole" by destroying statues of George Washington. Also today: Sen. Rand Paul says "no way" to more Ukraine aid; vows to block any fast-track. Meanwhile Ukraine is holding a US citizen Gonzalo Lira in prison for having a different opinion about the war and Ukraine's spokesperson threatens to "hunt down" others like Lira.
Cuando decimos que el cristianismo es una fe histórica, nos referimos a algo más que a la antigüedad de sus creencias. Es histórica porque depende de la Historia. Si lo que cuenta el Evangelio según Lucas sobre Jesús no es verdad, no tiene sentido creer en Él. No es como Buda, Mahoma o cualquier otro maestro religioso, que su enseñanza no depende de la realidad de su biografía. El cristianismo es Cristo. La frase de que "La Historia no nos enseña nada" se atribuye a diferentes autores. En Europa pensamos que es de Hegel, pero en América citan a ese curioso filósofo llamado Santayana, nacido en Madrid. cuya frase colgaba sobre el trono siniestro de Jim Jones en la masacre de Guyana. Sting hizo una canción con ella, para que nos diéramos cuenta de que "no enseña nada, porque nadie la escucha" (History Will Teach Us Nothing 1987). El músico español Luis Prado se da cuenta de la fragilidad de la verdad en las redes sociales en un compasivo diálogo con un amigo perdido en la confusión de las teorías conspiratorias (Te vi terraplanista 2021). La "Roca de la eternidad" es el único fundamento en que basar nuestra vida, canta Gillian Welch (Rock of Ages 1998). Si Jesucristo no resucitó, no es sólo Antonio Bandera el que tiene un problema en "The Body" (2001), para dar la cara como agente del Vaticano ante semejante "fraude piadoso". Escuchamos algunos de los fascinantes diálogos del personaje que hace de jesuita salvadoreño con la arqueóloga israelí que interpreta una joven Olivia Williams y el veterano religioso que hace Derek Jacobi. José de Segovia comenta la película con la banda sonora original de Serge Colbert en relación con el prólogo del Evangelio según Lucas. La verdad que Lucas investiga en los primeros versículos del 1-4 es quién es "Jesús Cristo", a quien canta el brasileño Roberto Carlos en su canción de 1970. La pregunta es importante porque "Lo que necesitas es a Jesús", dice el grupo de rap Public Enemy en 1998. Seguiremos con este primer capítulo de Lucas en nuestra siguiente parada en la Ruta por los 66 libros de la Biblia en nuestro viaje por la vida.

Buenas noches Centinelas. Cómo ustedes saben, UMMO provocó unos efectos secundarios y unos daños colaterales muy nocivos para algunas de las personas que se vieron implicadas en ese fraude ufológico. Se perdieron vidas, y no hablar de ello dando la espalda a algo así por muy manido o prostituido que esté, no vamos a ninguna parte. Como dijo el filósofo español Jorge Ruiz de Santayana, “Quien olvida su historia está condenado a repetirla…” Por humanidad, compañerismo y decencia profesional, tampoco me parecía justo que se desacreditara y se se insultara a compañeros y amigos como Manuel Carballal, David Cuevas o a Juan José Sánchez Oro, entre otros, simplemente por posicionarse, pensar y argumentar coherentemente que UMMO es un fraude, y que Jordán Moreno trata de refundar ese fraude. Lamento profundamente que alguien pueda sentirse molesto por dar voz en este programa a José Luis Jordán Moreno, lo siento en el alma pero tiene todo el derecho del mundo a expresarse, y con ello además cumplimos la máxima de El Centinela del Misterio de no quitarle la palabra ni la opinión absolutamente a nadie. Aún así, asumo las críticas y bajo ningún concepto culparé a nadie de esas críticas ya que todo lo ocurrido en este espacio es responsabilidad absoluta mía; hace muchos años que este programa y yo mismo tenemos criterio propio para no sentirme o sentirnos obligados por nadie a hacer algo que no queremos hacer. No mostraré jamás arrepentimiento por dar voz en mi programa a todo el mundo que lo haga con educación y respeto, y en el caso concreto de UMMO y José Luis Jordán Moreno, lo volveré a hacer una y mil veces y cuando yo lo crea oportuno…sin ir más lejos ya está todo preparado para llevarlo en un futuro muy cercano a El Centinela del Misterio en 7NN Televisión https://7nn.tv/ A ver si infinidad de profesionales van a tener derecho a entrevistar a Jordán Moreno mientras el resto del mundo guarda silencio, y si un servidor y este programa lo hacemos, se nos va a demonizar por el artículo 33… desde luego eso no lo vamos a permitir, más que nada por respeto a nuestros más de 160.000 suscriptores, y sobre todo cuando a El Centinela del Misterio le legitiman miles de oyentes y una posición más que privilegiada dentro del ranking de programas de misterio, otras realidades y crónica negra de este país y de parte de América.

Episode 127: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with former Wall Street Managing Director, Manny Santayana. "Do the right thing and fear no man!" That is the mantra Manny lives by. Despite almost getting fired from his first sales job at IBM, Manny went on to become a top salesperson at IBM and then for a firm on Wall Street. In 2002, he led an algorithmic electronic trading team at Credit Suisse, where he increased the sales from $2.5 million to $1 billion+ across 47 countries. They ranked #1 in the world and executed 9% of the total US trading volume. Later in his career, he became Head of Sales at NASDAQ, and is responsible for rebuilding the entire NASDAQ sales force after their global trading clients were adversely affected by the Facebook IPO technical trading disaster in 2012. Throughout his life and career, Manny has seen it all, experiencing extreme highs and lows, and what he calls the 4 C's of Sociology: Cooperation, Competition, Conflict, and Corruption. Manny explains how he navigated these phases and the greatest lessons that Wall Street taught him about life. Want to watch this episode? Tap here: https://youtu.be/C9JkZM9bt9w Please enjoy!

The Legendary podcaster and composer (but not US Senator) Lindsay Graham is a dear friend of HTDS and an integral part of the podcast's sound. Today, he gets behind the mic with the Prof. to interrogate the oft-repeated adage "those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it." So ... is it true? Centering the conversation around our current HTDS period (Gilded Age and into the Progressive Era) while pulling from various philosophers and thinkers (Hegel, Twain, Churchill, Santayana, and more), Lindsay and Greg dig in. By the way, we're big fans of Lindsay's many podcasts, and Greg has contributed to a few of them as a guest or historical consultant!

At 79, Joe Biden is the oldest president in American history. Concerns about his age top the list for why Democratic voters want the party to find an alternative for 2024.I don't think this reflects an “ageist” prejudice against those who have reached such withering heights so much as an understanding that people in their late 70s and 80s wither.I speak with some authority. I'm now a spritely 76 — lightyears younger than our president. I feel fit, I swing dance and salsa, and can do 20 pushups in a row. Yet I confess to a certain loss of, shall we say, fizz. Joe Biden could easily make it until 86, when he'd conclude his second term. After all, it's now thought a bit disappointing if a person dies before 85. My mother passed at 86, my father two weeks before his 102nd birthday (so I'm hoping for the best, genetically speaking). Three score and ten is the number of years of life set out in the Bible. Modern technology and Big Pharma should add at least a decade and a half. Beyond this is an extra helping. “After 80, it's gravy,” my father used to say. Joe will be on the cusp of the gravy train. Where will it end? There's only one possibility, and that reality occurs to me with increasing frequency. I find myself reading the obituary pages with ever greater interest, curious about how long they lasted and what brought them down. I remember a New Yorker cartoon in which an older reader of the obituaries sees headlines that read only “Older Than Me” or “Younger Than Me.”Yet most of the time I forget my age. The other day, after lunch with some of my graduate students, I caught our reflection in a store window and for an instant wondered about the identity of the short old man in our midst.It's not death that's the worrying thing about a second Biden term. It's the dwindling capacities that go with aging. "Bodily decrepitude," said Yeats, "is wisdom." I have accumulated somewhat more of the former than the latter, but our president seems fairly spry (why do I feel I have to add “for someone his age?”). I still have my teeth, in contrast to my grandfather whom I vividly recall storing his choppers in a glass next to his bed, and have so far steered clear of heart attack or stroke (I pray I'm not tempting fate by my stating this fact). But I've lived through several kidney stones and a few unexplained fits of epilepsy in my late thirties. I've had both hips replaced. And my hearing is crap. Even with hearing aids, I have a hard time understanding someone talking to me in a noisy restaurant. You'd think that the sheer market power of 60 million boomers losing their hearing would be enough to generate at least one chain of quiet restaurants.When I get together with old friends, our first ritual is an “organ recital” — how's your back? knee? heart? hip? shoulder? eyesight? hearing? prostate? hemorrhoids? digestion? The recital can run (and ruin) an entire lunch. The question my friends and I jokingly (and brutishly) asked one other in college—"getting much?"—now refers not to sex but to sleep. I don't know anyone over 75 who sleeps through the night. When he was president, Bill Clinton prided himself on getting only about four hours. But he was in his forties then. (I also recall cabinet meetings where he dozed off.) How does Biden manage?My memory for names is horrible. (I once asked Ted Kennedy how he recalled names and he advised that if a man is over 50, just ask “how's the back?” and he'll think you know him.) I often can't remember where I put my wallet and keys or why I've entered a room. And certain proper nouns have disappeared altogether. Even when rediscovered, they have a diabolical way of disappearing again. Biden's secret service detail can worry about his wallet and he's got a teleprompter for wayward nouns, but I'm sure he's experiencing some diminution in the memory department. I have lost much of my enthusiasm for travel and feel, as did Philip Larkin, that I would like to visit China, but only on the condition that I could return home that night. Air Force One makes this possible under most circumstances. If not, it has a first-class bedroom and personal bathroom, so I don't expect Biden's trips are overly taxing. I'm told that after the age of 60, one loses half an inch of height every five years. This doesn't appear to be a problem for Biden but it presents a challenge for me, considering that at my zenith I didn't quite make it to five feet. If I live as long as my father did, I may vanish.Another diminution I've noticed is tact. A few days ago, I gave the finger to a driver who passed me recklessly. These days, giving the finger to a stranger is itself a reckless act. I'm also noticing I have less patience, perhaps because of an unconscious “use by” timer that's now clicking away. Increasingly I wonder why I'm wasting time with this or that buffoon. I'm less tolerant of long waiting lines, automated phone menus, and Republicans. Cicero claimed "older people who are reasonable, good-tempered, and gracious bear aging well. Those who are mean-spirited and irritable will be unhappy at every stage of their lives." Easy for Cicero to say. He was forced into exile and murdered at the age of 63, his decapitated head and right hand hung up in the Forum by order of the notoriously mean-spirited and irritable Marcus Antonius. How the hell does Biden maintain tact or patience when he has to deal with Mitch McConnell? Or Joe Manchin, for crying out loud? The style sections of the papers tell us that the 70s are the new 50s. Septuagenarians are supposed to be fit and alert, exercise like mad, have rip-roaring sex, and party until dawn. Rubbish. Inevitably, things begin falling apart. My aunt, who lived far into her nineties, told me “getting old isn't for sissies.” Toward the end she repeated that phrase every two to three minutes.Philosopher George Santayana claimed to prefer old age to all others. "Old age is, or may be as in my case, far happier than youth," he wrote. "I was never more entertained or less troubled than I am now." True for me too, in a way. Despite Trump, notwithstanding the seditiousness of the Republican Party, the ravages of climate change, near record inequality, a potential nuclear war, and a stubborn pandemic, I remain upbeat -- largely because I still spend most days with people in their twenties, whose fizz buoys my spirits. Maybe Biden does, too.But I'm feeling more and more out of it. I'm doing videos on TikTok and Snapchat, but when my students talk about Ariana Grande or Selena Gomez or Jared Leto, I don't have clue who they're talking about (and frankly don't care). And I find myself using words –- “hence,” “utmost,” “therefore,” “tony,” “brilliant” — that my younger colleagues find charmingly old-fashioned. If I refer to “Rose Marie Woods” or “Jackie Robinson” or “Ed Sullivan” or “Mary Jo Kopechne,” they're bewildered. The culture has flipped in so many ways. When I was seventeen, I could go into a drugstore and confidently ask for a package of Luckies and nervously whisper a request for condoms. Now it's precisely the reverse. (I stopped smoking long ago.)Santayana said the reason that old people have nothing but foreboding about the future is that they cannot imagine a world that's good without themselves in it. I don't share that view. To the contrary, I think my generation — including Bill and Hillary, George W., Trump, Newt Gingrich, Clarence Thomas, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Biden – have fucked it up royally. The world will probably be better without us.Joe, please don't run. This is a public episode.

Who reads philosophy books? Not many. Maybe that's why George Santayana hid the medicine in sweeter wrappers. His The Last Puritan is an example. This week's episode is a selection from another venerable literary form, the dialog. It reminds me of the show from decades ago where a group of famous people from history were in a Sunday morning talk show-like format. In his book, "Dialogues in Limbo," Santayana features a pilgrim from our time who has found his way into a place where he can have some pretty serious discusions with Socrates, and others.

We can debate how this happened, but I think it is more important we recognize where we are going and decide if that is our preferred destination. Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Will America heed the warnings from those writers of the past, or are we condemned to live ⏤ imitating their art?

Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known in English as George Santayana (/ˌsæntiˈænə, -ˈɑːnə/;[2] December 16, 1863 – September 26, 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. Originally from Spain, Santayana was raised and educated in the US from the age of eight and identified himself as an American, although he always retained a valid Spanish passport.[3] At the age of 48, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently.Santayana is popularly known for aphorisms, such as "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it",[4] "Only the dead have seen the end of war",[5] and the definition of beauty as "pleasure objectified".[6] Although an atheist, he treasured the Spanish Catholic values, practices, and worldview in which he was raised.[7] Santayana was a broad-ranging cultural critic spanning many disciplines. He was profoundly influenced by Spinoza's life and thought; and, in many respects, was a devoted Spinozist.[8]Bio via Wikipedia See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Psalm 78.2-4 NLT "I will teach you hidden lessons from our past — stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders." In a speech in the House of Commons in 1948, Winston Churchill paraphrased Santayana when he said “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” This was precisely the concern of Asaph in this particular psalm. In this long psalm he reflected on five centuries of the life of the people of God. Time and again they had disobeyed God, but he had consistently responded with love and forgiveness. Asaph was concerned that future generations should be reminded of their history, and of the gracious way in which God had provided for his people. Teaching the next generation about God always needs to be a priority for the church. I often find that the approach to children's and youth work is incredibly patronising. I hear people say, “They are the church of tomorrow” but that precisely misses the point. Children and young people are an integral part of the church of today, and we will have no future unless we are energetically and enthusiastically reaching out to them with the Good News of Jesus. Passing on the faith to younger generations is always a challenge because the world changes so fast. The ways in which we communicate have changed out of all recognition in the last few years. Twitter came into the world in 2006. Snapchat was born in 2011. TikTok arrived in 2016. Billions of messages are sent every year on platforms that didn't exist only a few years ago. Of course, the Good News of Jesus Christ doesn't change. But the way in which we communicate needs to be continually changing and we need to ensure that the resources are available to ensure that it happens. If we fail to do so then the danger is that the sad history of people's disobedience to God will repeat itself. QUESTION: What are you doing to ensure that younger generations are hearing the Good News of Jesus? PRAYER: Lord God, we praise you for your faithfulness through thousands of years. Help us to be faithful in passing on this wonderful message to others. Amen

The product of 11 years of research, The Story of Philosophy is an endlessly inspiring and instructive chronicle of the world's greatest thinkers, from Socrates to Santayana. Written with exacting and scrupulous scholarship, it was designed both to command the respect of educators and to capture the interest of the layman. Durant lucidly describes the philosophical systems of such world-famous “monarchs of the mind” as Plato, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Spinoza, Kant, Voltaire, and Nietzsche. Along with their ideas, he offers their flesh-and-blood biographies, placing their thoughts within their own time and place and elucidating their influence on our modern intellectual heritage. This book is packed with wisdom and wit. Will Durant (1885-1981) was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He spent over 50 years writing his critically acclaimed 11-volume series The Story of Civilization. A champion of human-rights issues such as social reform and the brotherhood of man long before they were popular, he continues to educate and entertain readers and listeners worldwide through his writings.
A España le seguirá afectando más en términos energéticos la escasez de interconexiones de gas y electricidad con Europa que la puesta en marcha, cuando se produzca, del nuevo gasoducto Nord Stream 2. Es la idea que lanza el Coronel José Pardo de Santayana, coordinador de investigación y analista principal del Instituto Español de Estudios Estratégicos (IEEE) en su charla con 'La Información'. El gasoducto se encuentra ya listo para operar, a la espera de que los reguladores alemán y europeo verifiquen que cumple las normas técnicas y legales del sistema energético europeo. +++MÚSICA: 🎵 'Future Technologies' [Technology Music] by MOKKA / Pray For Us https://youtu.be/O1ZPpiKhgSc Music provided by "MokkaMusic" channel and https://inaudio.org 🎵 Acoustic/Pop/Rock/Alternative - Acoustically driven instrumental by Hyde - Free Instrumentals https://soundcloud.com/davidhydemusic Music provided by www.plugnplaymusic.net

La muerte es un sentimiento, un poema, una irrealidad. Es una mera ficción del pensamiento racional. La muerte no existe y al mismo tiempo lo es todo. En su forma más pura y resplandeciente define lo hermoso e inevitable que nos resulta este mundo... Platón afirmó que la filosofía es una meditación sobre la muerte. Toda vida filosófica, escribió Cicerón, es un homenaje a la muerte. Veinte siglos después Santayana dijo que «una buena manera de probar el calibre de una filosofía es preguntarle a alguien lo que piensa acerca de la muerte». Quizá necesitemos de la muerte para entender el significado de la propia vida... Quizá necesitemos de sus enigmas y su fatalidad de su misticismo y desventura. Quizá por eso la literatura fantástica ha sabido exprimir su esencia como ninguna otra, en todas sus formas, por imposibles que parezcan... y en ese terreno pantanoso camina nuestro protagonista de esta noche, su peculiar relación con la muerte, casi como un elemento deseado. La muerte que sin la desesperación o el hartazgo de la vida, ejerce una influencia hipnótica en las mentes más sensibles. Como un intenso poema de cementerios, ataúdes y paredes de piedra cubiertas de musgo... la muerte como un viaje esperado e inevitable, al que dedicarle cantos, elegías o relatos. Así pues, acompáñennos en este oscuro viaje entre los senderos de la cripta. Descubramos los secretos del Maestro H.P. Lovecraft en esta vigilia nocturna que se adentra en las profundidades insondables de La Tumba. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
