We have a very special episode today with guest host Dr Joshua Eisenthal interviewing fellow philosopher of science, and good friend, Dr Haixin Dang on the fascinating subject of Disagreement in Science.It might seem like scientists should always aspire to achieve consensus, and therefore any disagreement in science is a mark of failure. However, as Haixin points out, disagreement is in fact a vital part of healthy scientific practice. Disagreement helps scientists be reflective about their work, challenging each other to consider alternative positions, question assumptions and further their investigations in a variety of ways.However, exactly how disagreement works in science, and what kind of disagreements are more or less helpful, has not been well-studied. Haixin suggests a better understanding of scientific disagreement may be important for science communication and tackling science scepticism. If we can better explain how scientists actually make progress, perhaps members of the public will be more understanding when the experts disagree.A transcript of the episode can be found here: https://www.hpsunimelb.org/post/s3-ep-8-haixin-dang-on-disagreement-in-scienceFurther links:Website: Haixin Dang Journal Article: Minority Reports: Registering Dissent in Science | Philosophy of Science | Haixin DangJournal Article: Do Collaborators in Science Need to Agree? | Haixin DangPhysics Examples MentionedNo more doubts: Two independent studies confirm LIGO's Nobel discovery | Ars TechnicaFermilab Says Particle Is Heavy Enough to Break the Standard Model | Quanta MagazineJames Webb Space Telescope deepens major debate over universe's expansion rate | SpaceFaster Than Lightspeed: These Neutrinos Were Faster Than The Speed Of Light—Until They Weren't | Yale Scientific MagazineThanks for listening to The HPS Podcast with your current hosts, Samara Greenwood and Carmelina Contarino.You can find more about us on our blog, website, bluesky, twitter, instagram and facebook feeds.

The debate of time immemorial surrounding science and Christianity continues to rage, but could they both be correct? When examining issues of life, taking diverse and sometimes contradictory stances can lead to new solutions. Listen up to learn: What Christian apologetics relates to What is offered through Christianity How math plays into religion and Christianity John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University (emeritus), shares his view of the Christian faith and how it can intertwine with science and math to uncover some of the enduring mysteries of our species. Different from what it sounds, Christian apologetics offers an opportunity to add the science of spirituality to many debates. Specifically, approaching obstacles in life, especially catastrophic divides, can give new additional context to previously contentious issues surrounding faith. Despite the various opinions of theologians and philosophies worldwide, Christianity offers an opportunity for hope and collaboration. For example, mathematics and Christianity often find themselves at odds with proponents for both sides staunchly disagreeing, but in reality, both can offer answers to benefit the other.

Everything in our lives, from our relationships down to the cells of our hearts, is a process of combining. Things connect to other things to form relationships that create more than the sum of their parts, and in this way the world emerges. As Nora Bateson puts it in her new book, Combining, nothing we see is ‘just that and nothing more.' This piece is a combination of words and sound, as I recently recorded a conversation with Bateson, which you can find as an audio podcast above, or on Apple Podcasts and most other podcast platforms. Nora is one of the leading voices in the world of systems change, or what she prefers to call ‘systems learning,' and Combining is a bracing blend of complexity theory, poetry, mythos and ecology which I've been enjoying it immensely. Bateson is also a faculty member on my upcoming course New Ways of Knowing, and as well as Combining and wider questions around how we can influence the systems we're part of, we also talk about the experiential process of ‘trans-contextual knowing' she'll be guiding in her session. Below, I've also included a couple of updates, a thank you on the first anniversary of this Substack, and a new guided insight practice for paid subscribers.News and Updates This is the first audio-only piece I've released on here, and it was refreshing to return to this format after an extended break. I enjoyed our conversation so much I plan to release more like this in the future, alongside my regular features, essays and reading lists. Coming up next week is a conversation with poet and author Sophie Strand exploring how myth and poetry can help us make sense of complexity. Sophie is another faculty member on New Ways of Knowing, and as well as standalone pieces, these conversations have been inspiring and influencing how I develop the course.In other news, last week I recorded a live Street Epistemology session with Peter Boghossian. Boghossian is one of the authors of How to Have Impossible Conversations, an academic and author focused on finding ways to bridge culture war divides through new forms of dialogue. As this is a key focus of mine too, it was a joy to dialogue and inquire together. If you haven't heard of the Street Epistemology methodology and are interested in new conversations that move beyond cultural stuckness, I'd highly recommend checking out this video and the wider Street Epistemology scene. One Year of The Bigger Picture I wanted to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone for reading this Substack. November 5th marked one year of The Bigger Picture, and in that time I've written 35 features and articles, with over 750,000 views and close to 30,000 subscribers. Transitioning from Rebel Wisdom a year ago was intense, scary and exciting, and I'm massively grateful for all your continued engagement and interest in my work. It's nearing six months since my book The Bigger Picture was published, and I'm also grateful that so many of you have bought and reviewed it so favourably; the Audible version is currently ranked #2 in the Science & Philosophy category which feels wonderful and mind-boggling. A very special thanks to paying subscribers: without you this Substack wouldn't be possible. Your support provides me with a regular income and helps me buy essential kit, like the new microphone I used to record my interview with Nora. For paid subscribers this week, I have an updated and improved Sovereignty Meditation. This is a meditation I've been developing over the last five years that draws on cognitive science and the wisdom traditions to combine breathwork, concentration, contemplation and journaling into a single practice. It's one I use personally during intense times, whether that's dealing with the complexity of life and culture, or preparing for a psychedelic experience. You can also find my video content and other updates on my Instagram, and I'll be sharing more about my new fiction project and putting a call out for guest writers in the near future. Thanks again for engaging with my work; I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. It seems I can't publish this piece with a paywall and a podcast, Substack wants it to be one or the other - so I've changed it and now everyone has access to the paid member meditation Hi everyone, you can find the new Sovereignty Meditation below. As I mention in the audio, the intention of the guide is to help you learn each step of the meditation (Breathwork, Concentration, Mindfulness and Journalling) and then create your own version of it. I use this almost every day and it was inspired in part by John Vervaeke's work around building ‘an ecology of practices'. Download the Sovereignty Meditation hereThe different practices that make up this meditation are by no means extensive, but I've found them to provide a good spectrum of ‘zooming in' and ‘zooming out' that give me a more ‘optimal grip' on myself and the world. I hope you enjoy it - if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in the comments. Get full access to The Bigger Picture at beiner.substack.com/subscribe

Happy Halloween season to you all and thanks for tuning into Black Hoodie Alchemy! This week it's all things horror, even more than usual. We're diving into everything that constitutes horror -- particularly the movies, but to include literature, artwork, and music like heavy metal. Why do people enjoy horror while others don't? If horror is such a primal emotion based on survival, why do people seek it out in artistic experiences, and what might there be to gain from these experiences? Are these people sadistic, masochistic, or both? Are they thrill seekers or grief-tourists? While all of these less-than-desirable traits may be present in the rare horror enthusiast, the vast majority of horror fans are seeking to experience a catharsis that is something similar to a very small slice of the shamanic vision quest, where the initiate takes a whopping dose of psychedelics, heads into the wilderness at night with no plan, and seeks to find his way home come dawn. After all, Christ wandered in the desert for forty days and nights in confrontation with his shadow, and the Buddha himself sat under the bodhi as he was tempted my Mara the devil on his pursuit of enlightenment. That is the philosophical angle, which we will explore at more length! But there is also the scientific side. What is there to be said about the evolutionary responses? How does horror play a role in psychological therapies like "exposure" and "desensitization" therapy? How does early viewing of horror movies disturb childhood development and what kinds of people are more likely to enjoy horror? It's all this and much more this week! I hope you dig it.

Guest: Deborra Cameron, Education & Marketing Director of the University of Science & Philosophy, Teacher of Qi Chong, Owner of BeyondEmotionalBlueprint.com The world has changed over the past two years and the world we live in now requires new ways of thinking. Our guest, Deborra Cameron, brings a wealth of wisdom to this podcast conversation. Utilizing her nursing and holistic healing background combined with being a 27 year student of the Russell cosmogony, she offers new insights into how to view the world. She also discusses the importance of “emotional lineage”. Trauma is a multilevel experience that has far reaching consequences; yet we all have the power to overcome. Inspired by Lao Russell's vision to have “age of character” clubs for kids, Deborra is picking up where Lao left off as the museum works to bring this noble idea to life with young people in 2022. What does it mean to inspire children to live a life of unity? Is it possible to discover the genius seeded within every child? Can we consider that society has mislabeled our children with things like ADHD thus limiting their true potential? It is time for all things to be reimagined one philosophy, one decision at a time. Join us for the mindful conversation about balancing the feminine and the masculine, empowering our kids and reimagining a new world for all.

Episode Notes This week we are privileged to speak with Dr. Rolph Sattler, author of "Science and Beyond: Toward Greater Sanity Through Science, Philosophy, Art and Spirituality". Please support Rolf and purchase this wonderful book, it's definitely worth your time if you wish to understand the true underpinnings of how we understand the word and ourselves. Link here: https://www.amazon.com/Science-Beyond-Greater-Philosophy-Spirituality/dp/1039102972 Link to Rolf's website: https://www.rolfsattler.com Rolf's premise is as follows - Science, coupled with technology, has become the dominant force in most parts of the world. Thus, it affects our lives and society in many ways. Yet, misconceptions about science are widespread in governments, the general public, and even among many scientists. Science and Beyond explores these misconceptions that may have grave and even disastrous consequences for individuals and society as was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, where they led to much unnecessary suffering, sickness, and death. The misconceptions also obscure the limitations of science. Not seeing these limitations prevents us from seeing and going beyond them, which leads to a crippled life and an impoverished society. But reaching beyond the limitations of science, as outlined in this book, can open the doors to a more fulfilled, saner, healthier, happier, and more peaceful life and society. This is something I can get behind, as you all know I steer towards skepticism of mind-body duality, an obsession with abstraction and word use. Korzybski and Rolf offer excellent ways of viewing the problem, and ways that you can try to gain a little sanity in your own life, while the world around you seems to become ever more "unsane".

Title: Dr Anthony Fucilla's presentation on Science philosophy and Theology

This conversation is part of the 'Understanding Noam Chomsky' Series ('Dare to know!' Philosophy Podcast). Today we are joined by Noam Chomsky. Noam Chomsky has been called "the father of modern linguistics” and is one of the most cited scholars in modern history. He has been a professor at MIT since 1955 (now Emeritus) and continues to teach at the University of Arizona at the age of 91. He has written over 100 books covering topics including linguistics, politics, and philosophy. Today, I discuss with him issues ranging from science, the history of science, philosophy of mind, to moral/political philosophy and law. This episode is part of a larger series called ‘Understanding Noam Chomsky’ on this channel. If you’re interested you can check out those episodes as well.

Chiropractor-Naturopath, Dr. Timothy A. Binder, past president of The University of Science & Philosophy and author joins us on this episode of Alfacast to dive deep into the science and philosophy of Walter Russell and explains how we can apply his universal truths and mechanics to optimize our daily health for both our own bodies and the greater community around us. Here at Alfa Vedic we perceive the study of 'Wave Geometry' as the missing link within conventional science, and are deeply honored to have the author of "In the Wave Lies the Secret of Creation", Dr. Binder join us for this very 'enlightening' conversation.

Matt Presti is the President of the University of Science & Philosophy, which is the educational centre of one of the greatest luminaries of recent history - Walter Russell. Matt Presti shares the basics of Dr Russell's cosmogony and discusses his philosophy for living. It's a fascinating subject and one which rattles quantum physics.  Dr Walter Russell’s teachings give to humankind, a scientific and “living” philosophic understanding of man himself, the mind of man, the soul of man and his relationship to the “Universal One”. We also cover the progressive, nefarious agenda behind current worldly affairs and what we can do to master ourselves and bring that into manifestation.  Matt Presti http://www.mattpresti.com/ https://www.philosophy.org/president.html Self Sovereignty https://selfsovereignty.co.uk/

David Berlinski discusses various topics within science, philosophy, and society in this thought-provoking talk.

We're most delighted to have Matt Presti, President of the University of Science & Philosophy return to Alfacast to delve further into the work of the greatest luminary in 2000 years, Walter Russell. On his last visit Matt shared the basic precepts of Russell's cosmogony, and gave us a glimpse of energy-efficient technologies now in the works. We'll travel deeper down the Russell rabbit hole this time to reveal what could be the remedy to every issue we presently witness through world events. The most critical element of this science-based perspective is the inescapable conclusion that each and every one of us is the solution we seek. Dr. Walter Russell’s teachings give to mankind, a scientific and “living” philosophic understanding of man himself, the mind of man, the soul of man and his relationship to the “Universal One”. The unfoldment of the “coming sense” or new faculty, commonly referred to as “cosmic consciousness,” stands before mankind in this dawning electric age. It is ours for the asking.

In this episode, I'm speaking with fellow Intelligent Speculation team member Garrett Wise about science, philosophy and the need for more critical thinking in today's world. We discuss: •How Garrett first became interested in science and why physics. •How he became interested in philosophy and what aspects of philosophy are of most interest to him. •The trolley problem and how different camps of philosophy approach this thought experiment. •Moral licensing: what is it and my own musings about moral licensing in the real world. •You don't have to be a genius to study science. •Anti-intellectualism, fake news, the anti-science movement, and why it's worth debating with the “true believers.” •Why is it that religion and political discourse is taboo in our society and how this cultural norm is actually damaging to the social fabric. •How critical thinking can be used to elevate humanity moving forward. •And other topics finished with a final important passage read by Garrett. Garrett Wise holds a Bachelor's Degree in Physics as well as a minor in Philosophy from Northern Illinois University. Besides producing great content for Intelligent Speculation, he works as an analytical chemist who frequently philosophizes about the nature of existence. Through his writing, he hopes to challenge your commonly held beliefs and convince you that science, logic, and critical thinking are the best tools we have to understand the world around us.

He works on the intellectual and cultural history of the English-speaking countries, Italy, and France, from the 17th to the 19th centuries. His most recent book is Power, Pleasure, and Profit published by Harvard University Press, and he's also the author of The Invention of Science: A New History of the Scientific Revolution. He has given the Carlyle and Besterman Lectures at Oxford, the Raleigh Lecture at the British Academy and the Benedict Lectures at Boston. In this episode, we talk about some of the main topics explored by Dr. Wootton in The Invention of Science. We discuss the historical precursors of science, and the new conceptual framework that developed around the 17th century. We also refer to the progress of science, where Thomas Kuhn failed, the relationship between philosophy and science, and science as a cultural construct. We go through the earliest developments in Astronomy and Earth geography, the discovery of the Americas and the historical relationship between science and political power. We discuss some hypotheses for why China did not get to develop science before Europe, and the relationship between science and technology. Finally, we look into how science might have influenced the development of capitalism (and vice-versa). -- Follow Dr. Wootton's work: Faculty page: https://bit.ly/2Ia4zoC Personal website: http://www.davidwootton.com/ The Invention of Science: A New History of the Scientific Revolution: https://amzn.to/2X54ElY Power, Pleasure, and Profit: Insatiable Appetites from Machiavelli to Madison: https://amzn.to/2MJTW0l -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, AND RICARDO VLADIMIRO!

"people should learn scientific knowledge to be able to discuss important topics and use science for good" Our guest is Gabriella Ferreira, a masters student in Science Philosophy. She talks about her studies of Science Philosophy, and volunteer work at the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência. She worked on a collection of animals. The same in which Luís Ceríaco found a previously undescribed species. Gabriella showcases the importance of historical collections for current research efforts. Work done in natural history museums can be applied to conservation purposes, and to study the evolution of species. She further talks about the history of science. Some of the questions posed by ancient natural philosophers are still studied, today, using modern science. We also talked a bit about modern bio-ethical problems. background Gabriella spend her childhood in Paris, before she moved to the countryside in Portugal. The change in environment got her interested in gardening, farming and nature. After receiving a bachelors in biology she began her masters studies in 2017, in Lisbon. notes We mention the quote 'If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.' - it goes back to Dr. Richard Feynman, a famous physicist and physics educator.

Your body has an innate inborn intellegence that is expressed through your whole being from even the genetic expression level to how your blood pressure is regulated to all of your immune system functions. Chiropractic is a healing philosophy, science and art, that allows the full expression of this innate intellegence.  The body has an innate intellegence that flows from the brain down through the nervous system to animate and gives tissue life. So healing only occurs from Above Down and from the Inside Out. ( A.D.I.O.) This episode we will explore the brilliance of Chiropractic as a healing art. Don't miss this life saving episode!!

I always learn something when I interview authors, but in this chat with Todd H. Weir I learned something startling: I'm a monist. What is more, you may be a monist too and not even know it. Do you believe that there is really only one kind of stuff and that everything we observe–and our powers of observation themselves–are made of that stuff? If so, you're a monist. But what kind? As Todd explains, the history of monism is not monistic: since its birth in the nineteenth century, there have been multiple monisms (which, you must admit, is a diverting irony). You can read about many of them in Monism: Science, Philosophy, Religion, and the History of a Worldview (Palgrave, 2012), the edited volume Todd and I discuss in the interview. Despite their differences, all the monisms were radical, for they implied that there was no God and that religion was essentially an evolved superstition. This being so, monism was always controversial. It still is. Stephen J. Gould didn't like it, but his colleague E.O. Wilson and most of the “New Atheists” do. Listen in and see where you stand.
