Podcasts about Simone Weil

Eleanor Russell joins us to discuss the mystical writings of French philosopher, Simone Weil. Published posthumously and edited by Gustave Thibon, Gravity and Grace is a collection of fragments from Weil's notebooks that sketch the core themes of her Christian mysticism in crisp, compact aphorisms. Weil did not set out to find God; instead, she was overwhelmed by a mystical experience of Christ's presence, after which her interests shifted from political philosophy to theology. Weil's Christian mysticism revolves around a central paradox: God's presence, truth, and love reveal themselves to the fullest only at the extremities of absence, suffering, and grief. In the same way, we can only experience Christ's radical love and redemptive suffering in solidarity with all those who are marginalized, oppressed, and enslaved. The result was a distinctive form of Christian mysticism that turned the tenets of Catholic orthodox on their head. Weil refused baptism out of her love for that which lies outside of the Church. She located Christ's apotheosis not in the resurrection but in his final cry of agony and despair, and she considered God's abandonment of this world to evil, affliction, and cruel fate to be a necessary condition of the Creation. In this episode, we discuss Weil's enigmatic, fragmentary masterpiece in order to understand that radical form of faith that only becomes possible in moments when God forsakes us and nothing shows itself as divine. Weil's words kindle a fire in dark times: “If we love God while thinking that he does not exist, he will manifest his existence.”Follow Eleanor on Twitter(X): @eleanoirPlease consider becoming a paying subscriber to our Patreon to get exclusive bonus episodes, early access releases, and bookish merch: https://www.patreon.com/MoralMinorityFollow us on Twitter(X).Devin: @DevinGoureCharles: @satireredactedEmail us at: moralminoritypod@gmail.com

Étienne Balibar, Luca Salza"La filosofia di fronte al genocidio"Conversazione su Gaza con Étienne BalibarEdizioni Cronopiowww.shopcronopio.it“Mi definisco ‘ebreo' perché sono sconvolto dall'idea che i significati morali e persino religiosi, e per via di conseguenza filosofici, portati nella storia dall'ebraismo – dalla parola dei Profeti di Israele fino al discorso di quei rinnegati o eretici che hanno alimentato la mia formazione intellettuale (Montaigne, Spinoza, Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, Freud, Kafka, Benjamin, Arendt, Simone Weil, Derrida, che è stato mio professore) – potrebbero d'ora in poi essere associati, per molto tempo e persino per sempre, non più alla resistenza alle persecuzioni e alla ricerca dell'autonomia intellettuale, all'imperativo della moralità e della giustizia e alla discussione sui suoi mezzi (tra cui la rivoluzione), ma all'oppressione e allo sterminio di un altro popolo sotto il patrocinio di questo ‘nome'. Penso che l'onore del ‘nome ebraico' debba essere difeso da questa infamia e che sia necessario esprimere una rivolta”.Étienne Balibar è tra i più importanti filosofi contemporanei della politica. Membro del Tribunale Russell sulla Palestina, è da anni un sostenitore della causa palestinese. Ha scritto numerose opere, tra cui disponibili in italiano: Crisi e fine dell'Europa?

Poet and essayist Carol Ann Davis (Fairfield University) joins Evan Rosa for a searching conversation on violence, childhood, and the moral discipline of attention in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. Reflecting on trauma, parenting, childhood, poetry, and faith, Davis resists tidy narratives and invites listeners to dwell with grief, healing, beauty, and pain without resolution.“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”In this episode, Davis reflects on how lived trauma narrows attention, reshapes language, and unsettles conventional storytelling. Together they discuss poetry as dwelling rather than explanation, childhood and formation amid violence, image versus narrative, moral imagination, and the challenge of staying present to suffering.Episode Highlights“Nothing has happened at Hawley School. Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.”“And that was what it is not to suffer. This is the not-suffering, happy-ending story.”“I'm always narrowing focus.”“I think stories lie to us sometimes.”“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree.”“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”About Carol Ann DavisCarol Ann Davis is a poet, essayist, and professor of English at Fairfield University. She is the author of the poetry collections Psalm and Atlas Hour, and the essay collection The Nail in the Tree: Essays on Art, Violence, and Childhood. A former longtime editor of the literary journal Crazyhorse, she directs Fairfield University's Low-Residency MFA and founded Poetry in Communities, an initiative bringing poetry to communities affected by violence.

In this wide ranging conversation, Georgios and I delve into the history of the concept of the west, as opposed to Christendom or Europe, its two predecessors. When did people start talking about the West and when did it become a thing? And what on earth did they mean by it? Beginning with the ancient Greeks we tried to tease out different ways in which this concept was filled. On the way we encounter an amazing gallery of protagonists, from French philosophers such as Simone Weil and Auguste Comte to John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Hannah Ahrendt. Recording this a few days after the new US National Security Strategy, we also ask whether this is the point, at which we can bury this idea, which role cultural elites played in its decline, and what may come after it.Support the show

Welcome to A Change Question — a special mini-series from The Inner Game of Change. In each short, solo episode, I bring you one question worth sitting with — the kind that can gently shape how we think, work, and move through our lives.As change unfolds, our attention often becomes scattered.We try to notice everything.The risks. The effort. The expectations.But each stage of a change has its own centre of gravity.Something new begins to rise.Something quieter, but more essential, asks for our attention.In this short, reflective episode, Ali explores the question:What deserves attention at this stage of the change?Drawing on The Little Prince, Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, the writings of Marcus Aurelius and Simone Weil, and examples from Jane Eyre and The Lord of the Rings, this episode looks at how attention shifts as we move through different stages of a change.This is not advice. It is a gentle pause. A moment to consider what truly matters now, what no longer needs to be held so tightly, and what might open if we offered our attention with more intention.A short episode for anyone sensing that the next stage of their change might require a different kind of focus.Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty, Part 2 With Fr. James Searby  In this second episode of Beauty and the Beast, we step deeper into the story itself and uncover why this simple tale carries so much spiritual and human truth. Fr. James Searby explores the opening arc of the Beast, not as a children's plot point, but as a mirror of our own culture's drift into subjectivism, hurry, and the loss of virtue. Drawing from the older French versions of the tale, the golden age of Disney storytelling, and the wisdom of Aquinas, Balthasar, Plato, John Paul II, Simone Weil, and more, he shows how beauty forms the soul and why its absence slowly makes us less human. Belle's contemplative posture in a frantic village becomes a lesson in resisting the rush of modern life, while the Beast's curse reveals what happens when we turn inward and forget who we are. This episode opens up the rose, the mirror, the meaning of enchantment, and the hard truth that love and beauty both require us to slow down and see reality again. It's a thoughtful, richly layered conversation that will change the way you watch the film and the way you understand your own hunger for what is beautiful, noble, and true.

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty, Part 3 With Fr. James Searby  In this third episode of Beauty and the Beast, Fr. James Searby takes us into the heart of why beauty matters so deeply, not only artistically, but spiritually and morally. This class looks at the collision between a culture shaped by modern narcissism and a Christian vision where beauty, truth, and goodness are real, objective, and radiant. Using the story of Beauty and the Beast as a lens, he explores how our hurried, self-referential age blinds us to beauty and slowly disconnects us from what makes us human. From the sacramental meaning of the body to the power of the Eucharist, from Freud's mirror to Milton's Satan, from Gaston's hollow charm to the Beast's slow awakening, this episode traces how distraction and self-creation deform the soul, and how beauty becomes the doorway back to reality. With help from Aquinas, Balthasar, Scruton, Simone Weil, John Paul II, and classic stories like The Sound of Music, Babette's Feast, and This Beautiful Fantastic, we learn how to train the eye, the heart, and the imagination to recognize real beauty again. This episode is both an unflinching diagnosis of our cultural moment and a hopeful call to rediscover the contemplative life that heals, restores, and opens us to God.

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty, Part 4 With Fr. James Searby  In this fourth class of Beauty and the Beast, we explore beauty as communion, the way beauty draws us out of isolation and into relationship. Through Maurice's tenderness, Belle's self-giving, and the gradual healing of the Beast's house, Fr. James Searby shows how beauty creates openness, vulnerability, and shared life. Drawing on Scruton, Simone Weil, Martha Graham, theatre, liturgy, and the communal nature of art, this episode traces how beauty breaks self-enclosure, makes space for others, and restores what fear and hurry have disordered. It also looks at the danger of cultural elitism in the arts and why beauty belongs to everyone, not to a select few. At its heart, this class reveals how beauty invites us into a deeper communion with God and one another, preparing the way for next week's theme of beauty as contemplation.

Simone Weil's razor-sharp insight cracks open this episode: we glamorize imaginary evil and underestimate how powerful real goodness actually is. Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on goth culture, mob movies, Nagababas, and kirtan festivals as they contrast the "cool darkness" our minds romanticize with the deep, surprising joy of a life given to Krishna. Along the way, Lord Brahmā's prayers in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14 expose how our homes, families, and attachments can either imprison us—or become our path to liberation. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Thomas Hirschhorn nous présente le Pavillon Simone Weil, projet artistique qui se tiendra du 31 mars au 16 juin 2026 au Pavillon Sicli. The post Pavillon Simone Weil : 78 jours d'art et de rencontre first appeared on Radio Vostok.

"Dan hebben ze misschien iets meer honger in Afrika, maar hier niet”, stelde Geert Wilders in een van de verkiezingsdebatten. Het was de slotzin van een betoog om te bezuinigen op ontwikkelingssamenwerking, een potje dat zo langzamerhand toch een keer leeg moet zijn, als je ziet hoe vaak daar al niet geld uitgehaald is.  Hoe walgelijk de uitspraak ook, het appelleert aan een vraag die je wel met recht kan stellen: zit er een grens aan de compassie die je kan hebben met anderen, als het jezelf gaat raken?  “'U interesseert me niet.' Geen mens kan die uitspraak doen zonder een wreedheid te begaan en de gerechtigheid te schenden” stelde de Frans-joodse filosofe Simone Weil. In haar denken en leven streefde zij radicale compassie na.  Wat waren Weils inspiratiebronnen voor deze levenshouding? En welke rol spelen emoties hierbij?  In deze aflevering van de Podcast Filosofie kijken we naar compassie, door de bril van Simone Weil. Dat doen we in samenwerking met het Titus Brandsma Instituut en stichting Socires. Naar aanleiding van de intellectuele biografie van Titus Brandsma, geschreven door Inigo Bocken. Allard en Inigo ontvangen Frits de Lange, emeritus-hoogleraar ethiek aan de Protestantse Theologische Universiteit en auteur van Simone Weil, In alles tot het uiterste.  Simone Weil kun je kennen van de eerdere aflevering die wij over haar maakten, met Marc de Kesel. Een linkje naar deze aflevering vind je hier.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.What if love begins not with grand gestures, but with simple attention? In this episode, we explore the link between love, presence, and awareness — what philosopher Simone Weil called “attention.” In a distracted world, the Stoics remind us that attention is more than focus; it's a moral act, a form of love, and the foundation of a virtuous life.Drawing from the wisdom of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, this episode reflects on prosochē, the Stoic discipline of attention. Epictetus warns, “When you relax your attention for a while, do not fancy you will recover it whenever you please.” (Discourses, 4.12).For the Stoics, this wasn't about perfection, but about wakefulness. Attention trains the mind to notice impressions before they harden into judgments, to respond instead of react, and to live deliberately. Marcus Aurelius reminds himself: “Concentrate every minute like a Roman… on doing what's in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness.” (Meditations, 2.5). In other words, love life by truly being present in it.Here are a few Stoic practices from this episode you can explore in your own life:Examine your impressions – Pause before reacting. Notice your first impulse and ask: “Is this really good or bad, or just my opinion?”Practice deep listening – Give someone your full presence. Listen not to reply, but to understand.Anchor in the present – When your thoughts drift to the past or future, bring attention back to the task or person before you.Pause and breathe – When overwhelmed, take one slow breath and ask: “What deserves my attention right now?”In a time when our focus is scattered by screens, tasks, and constant noise, attention becomes an act of rebellion, and of love. It's how we connect with others, with nature, and with ourselves. Stoicism teaches that to live wisely is to live attentively: seeing what is, accepting it fully, and acting from virtue.By the end of this episode, you'll see that Stoicism isn't a cold philosophy of detachment, but a way of living gratefully, wisely, and in harmony with what is.Listen to the full episode now and discover how attention can transform the way you think, act, and see your life.Read the companion article: https://viastoica.com/what-is-prosocheSupport the show

El nuevo video de Rosalía, Berghain, es un mar de simbolismos que dialoga con su universo (sí, también con Motomami) y con una búsqueda espiritual cada vez más visible.En su obra aparecen ecos de Simone Weil, Santa Teresa de Jesús y María de la Trinité, como si el deseo, el dolor y la fe se entrelazaran en una misma plegaria.Desde Hentai hasta Berghain, Rosalía parece explorar lo que Jacques Lacan llamaría la falta, ese vacío que impulsa a amar y a crear.En la canción, que forma parte de su próximo álbum Lux, tanto en las cuerdas como en su dramatismo, se insinúa algo más que una estética: una experiencia mística contemporánea.

In this sermon we continue our series allowing some of the voices from the Philokalia to help us hear the gospel. Today we look at some verses from the book of Romans alongside some words from Peter of Damascus. The sermon is on patience and hope, but we talk a lot about how music can teach us these things. A song by Olivier Messiaen serves as a refrain throughout the sermon such that we not only think about patience but are forced to experience a time of waiting through listening. A long quote by Jeremy Begbie is very helpful. Simone Weil helps us tie it to prayer. A summary really does not do this one justice. It was fun to prepare and give. May we encounter the crucified Christ raised from the dead in these words.

In the aftermath of the First World War, French philosopher Simone Weil had a solution to address the fascism that surged across Europe: abolish political parties. She argued political parties were not democratic, they were dangerous. With the help of former politician Michael Ignatieff and other guests, IDEAS producer Nicola Luksic explores the radical thinking of Simone Weil to help us better understand the current political climate.We'd love to hear from you!

Abba Mark's teaching pierces the heart because it strips away our worldly sense of “justice” and places us before the wisdom of the Cross. The lawyer's questions are not unlike our own: What do we do when wronged? What about fairness? What about the law? But the Elder directs him beyond human reasoning toward the spiritual law of Christ. For the world, the offense is external, and the “solution” is measured by punishment and recompense. For the ascetic, the wound of injustice exposes what is hidden in the heart. If resentment rises, then the wrong is ours as much as the other's. To forgive is not indulgence or naiveté—it is participation in the very judgment of God, who alone knows how to weigh every soul. Vengeance, on the other hand, is a kind of blasphemy: it accuses God of judging wrongly, and so it becomes a heavier sin than the original injury. Here the Evergetinos reveals the paradox of the Gospel: to suffer wrong with gratitude is not weakness but true knowledge. To pray for those who wrong us confounds the demons and makes us sons of the Crucified. The magistrate may punish, but the monk endures; the court may balance debts, but love “endures all things.” The Elder's words burn away excuses. To forgive is not optional—it is the very condition of our own forgiveness. To harbor vengeance is to live in fantasy, enslaved to illusions of fairness. But to embrace affliction as one's own and to entrust judgment to God is to step into the reality of mercy, where the only true justice is love. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:06:42 Adam Paige: Philokalia combined volume 1 to 5 by Nun Christina is indeed 825 pages long 00:06:54 Anna: I'm looking for The Philokalia St. Peter of Damascus 00:07:57 Bob Čihák, AZ: One of our current books is “The Ascetical Homilies of Saint Isaac the Syrian, revised 2nd Edition” 2011, published by Holy Transfiguration Monastery, https://www.bostonmonks.com/product_info.php/products_id/635 .

But that it is simply necessary to pray for those who commit evil and injustice to others just as I would pray for those suffering injustice.

Simone Weil écrit "Les besoins de l'âme" en 1943, dans le cadre de ce que pourrait être, après la guerre, une nouvelle Déclaration des Droits de l'homme. Albert Camus, qui publiera ce texte après la mort de Simone Weil, déclara que son livre était l'un des plus élevés et des plus beaux qu'on ait écrits sur notre civilisation. Et il ajoutera que Simone Weil fut le seul grand esprit de son temps.➔ Regardez la version vidéo de cet épisode : https://youtu.be/A_oRA5DHCyw➔ Rejoignez-moi sur Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/ParoledephilosopheMembre du Label Tout Savoir.

C'est l'histoire d'une fille qui n'est pas d'accord avec l'ordre social. Nos visages sont-ils des images, des devantures ? Notre attention est-elle devenue une propriété, comme les terrains ? Est-ce que quelque chose s'est cassé en nous ? De l'enfance à l'écriture, en passant par un bar mystérieux, une maison abandonnée, un immeuble rempli de sectes ou le sommet d'une montagne, la narratrice nous entraîne dans une odyssée parsemée de miroirs homériques, de chants d'aèdes qui nous montrent le livre en train de se faire. Les Forces reprend et détourne les motifs du roman d'apprentissage. Alternant le prosaïque et le théorique en un éclair, le livre se déploie dans une narration allant du tragique au comique. L'ensemble est porté par une nature perçue comme un flux incessant, une énergie vitale, dont chaque élément peut contenir la totalité. On pense à Fiodor Dostoïevski, à Samuel Beckett, à Simone Weil également dans son approche de la force. À lire – Laura Vazquez, Les forces, éd. du sous-sol, 2025

The second installment in a two-part exploration of Simon(e) Weil for the ongoing Antifascist Christianity series and the Antifascist Woodshed project.  At the heart of the episode is Weil's terse, luminous definition of love—“belief in the existence of other human beings as such”—and Richard Gilman-Opalsky's unpacking of how that love rejects projections and demands the generosity of attention, shared joys and miseries, and a deprivatized ethic of care. Matthew contrasts this with caricatures of Weil as an ascetic or body-denier, arguing instead for a portrait of a neurodivergent activist whose stressed nervous system made hypocrisy intolerable and whose spirituality emerged from embodied encounters.  Weil presented a lot of scrambling data—gender nonconformity, ambivalent sexuality, eating and touch aversions, migraines and hypergraphia. Theological and philosophical commentators often pathologize or misread Weil, while sidestepping their autism. As for Weil's Christianity: it wasn't about churchly allegiance but an experiential, anti-hypocrisy faith that found Jesus in direct action and in taking liturgical symbols seriously enough to live them. For Weil, “this is my body” became a present-tense statement of antifascist solidarity: the breaking and sharing of bread and body as an F-you to the imperials, and a call to communal repair.

Matthew begins a two-part exploration of Simone Weil—French philosopher, mystic, and antifascist activist—through the lens of autism, embodiment, and political courage. Following the earlier Antifascist Christianity Woodshed series on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this installment positions Weil as a kind of spiritual auntie to Greta Thunberg, whose uncompromising honesty, rooted in autistic perception, continues to disrupt fascist, capitalist, and liberal narrative. Matthew traces Weil's journey from childhood acts of solidarity, like giving up sugar during WW1, to her immersion in factory labor, revolutionary syndicalism, and frontline service in the Spanish Civil War. Weil's refusal of privilege and their lifelong impulse to take on suffering emerge as core features of both her philosophy and her autistic experience. They also stood up to Leon Trotsky, calling out Soviet authoritarianism long before its collapse. Weil can be understood not only through the posthumous notebooks and essays that editors and institutions reshaped into seventeen volumes, but through the lived reality of their embodied resistance. Their ideas remain striking: the notion of attention as the rarest form of generosity; the insistence that obligations come before rights; the practice of “decreation” as a release of ego in the service of love; and the “need for roots” as an antifascist alternative to blood-and-soil nationalism. Part 2 of this series drops Monday on Patreon, where Matthew goes deeper into Weil's autistic traits, their spiritual life, and how their philosophy continues to confront liberalism and fascism alike.

As we pass Arnaut Daniel, the last penitent soul of Mount Purgatory, let's look back over the discussions of poetry and lust in the seventh (and even sixth) terrace of the mountain.Dante has laid out a fairly straightforward theory of poetry through his encounters with three poets.

Zachary Ugolnik has for years been charting a new path that refuses the tired and inanimate narrative about the separateness of science and spirituality, reason and religion. In his life we find rich possibility when those old illusory dichotomies are discarded, and from that possibility perhaps new wisdom for creating a society full of care and flourishing, one that embraces our inherent needfulness and borrows from theology, ecology, and the social sciences. Origins Podcast WebsiteFlourishing Commons NewsletterShow Notes:locate shared spaces of curiosity across disciplines (11:50)Émile Durkheim and collective effervescence (13:45)Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University (14:10 and 16:20)through lines between religion and social science (13:45)Victor and Edith Turner  communitas (15:00)Simone Weil decreation (18:30)re-membering (22:00)Zach's book: The Collective Self (18:30)Theater of War (24:00)Byzantine iconography and perspective (26:00)Picasso "Le Taureau" (26:20)The Social Science of Caregiving (27:30)Flourishing Knowledge Commons (27:45)Margaret Levi communities of fate (27:50)"Mobilizing in the Interest of Others" by Levi and Ugolnik (30:00)Buddhism and interdependence (31:50)Collective action problems (34:40)flourishing systems (37:30)Ilya Prigogine and dissipative structures (39:30)Danielle Allen (42:15)philanthropy (44:30)Strother School of Radical Attention (52:30)Andrei Rublev (52:50)Daniel Kahneman (53:50)Syriac term Iḥidāyā (55:00)Lightning Round (57:30):Book: The Way of the Pilgrimand The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches by Matsuo BashōPassion: travelHeart sing: swimming with my kidsScrewed up: eulogy Find Zach online:https://zacharyugolnik.com/Logo artwork by Cristina GonzalezMusic by swelo on all streaming platforms or @swelomusic on social media

In this episode, we connect with Simone Weil, the deeply spiritual French philosopher and activist known for her deliberate acts of compassion and her challenging exploration of suffering and de-creation as paths to the divine. Her experiences, born from a pre-birth intention to find enlightenment through pain, offer a unique perspective on affliction, ego dissolution, and encountering God as a personal presence.   And then, we shift to the expansive spirit of Walt Whitman, the iconic American poet, who saw spirituality in the 'scent of the real'—in the sweat, soil, body, and breath of the world. Whitman's essence is about embracing the wild, untrimmed poem of life and daring to be misunderstood.   He viewed his poetry as a channeled field of collective longing, a drumbeat from the soul of Earth itself. Though seemingly 'mismatched,' Weil and Whitman offer complementary insights, revealing themselves as opposite ends of the same vibrational frequency – exploring enlightenment through suffering and through joy, respectively.   Together, they deliver powerful messages on authenticity, releasing approval-seeking, and navigating a world in collapse. You'll hear Weil's profound question: "Am I offering me or am I auditioning for love?" and Whitman's liberating declaration: "Misunderstanding is not rejection. It's a space for mystery. Smile when it happens. You are becoming massive." They invite us to hold grief and joy simultaneously, to sing new stories into the cracks of collapsing foundations, and to radiate our authentic selves even in a 'loveless hour'.   To learn more about Christy Levy, click here.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan & Cameron dive into a nuanced theological discussion on Ross Douthat's latest book Believe, exploring the provocative idea that religion—even in its broadest form—can serve as a legitimate and vital stepping stone toward Christianity. They examine Douthat's arguments through the lens of current cultural disinterest in organized faith, C.S. Lewis's concept of “mere Christianity,” and spiritual seekers like Simone Weil and David Foster Wallace. Is structured religion still the best place to begin a sincere search for truth in the modern age? Join them as they wrestle with these questions, challenge each other, and consider whether religion is a crutch, a catalyst, or a compass in a post-Christian world. Perfect for Christians craving thoughtful, biblically grounded commentary on contemporary spiritual issues.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

We're all anxious, and none of us can pay attention. We don't read long books anymore; our kids don't read at all. When we watch TV, we scroll at the same time. And we absolutely cannot be alone with ourselves. These are the symptoms of a modern malaise that is everywhere diagnosed but rarely treated with the dire seriousness it deserves: an epochal sickness that is fundamentally changing the way we relate to each other and to our own minds. What would it take to reclaim control? Chris Hayes — journalist, author, and host of MSNBC's All In — joins to discuss his new book The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource. Together, Chris and the boys theorize how attention replaced information as the defining commodity of modern life. Along the way, we discuss our own struggles with social media addiction, prayer as an ancient technology for organizing attention, the evolutionary origins of attention-seeking, Donald Trump as the "public figure par excellence" of the attention age, and how to fight back against the corporate takeover of our minds. Toward the end, Chris explains how he's navigating hosting his cable show amid another bewildering Trump era, which seems designed to divide and fragment our attention.Further Reading: Chris Hayes, The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource, (2025)Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace, (1952)Adam Phillips, Attention Seeking, (2022)Karl Marx, Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, (1844)Kyle Chayka, FIlterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture, (2024)Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, (2019)Daniel Immerwahr, "What if the Attention Crisis Is All a Distraction?"
