Send us a textDrawing the line between cultural engagement and spiritual compromise is a tightrope walk for every believer. The Almost Brothers dive deep into this tension by examining Christian musician Brandon Lake's recent collaborations with secular artists like Jelly Roll and his appearances at mainstream music festivals.When does reaching new audiences become compromising your witness? We wrestle with this question through thoughtful exploration of reputation versus intention, examining how even pure motives don't always justify putting yourself in potentially compromising positions. There's a necessary line between being "in the world" and becoming "of the world" - but where exactly should that boundary exist?The conversation expands beyond music into how churches often fail to nurture creative Christians, instead forcing them into traditional boxes that stifle their God-given talents. We challenge the notion that Christian art must explicitly mention Jesus to honor God, arguing instead that excellence in any field can glorify our Creator. From Christian actors who won't film love scenes to musicians navigating industry pressures, we examine how believers maintain their distinctive witness while engaging meaningfully with culture.We also tackle church traditions that resist necessary evolution, exploring how resistance to technology and contemporary expressions has hindered ministry effectiveness. Whether it's online church services that reach homebound believers or embracing new musical expressions, the church must remain culturally relevant while staying biblically faithful.Join us for this thought-provoking discussion about navigating Christian identity in complex spaces.

Can the right song, painting, or museum exhibit spark real political change? What if culture is the missing strategy in today's social movements?From the Center for the Study of Art & Community, this is Change the Story / Change the World: A chronicle of art and social change, where activist artists and cultural organizers share and learn what they need to thrive as creative change agents. My name is Bill Cleveland.If you've ever felt like your efforts for justice aren't hitting deep enough, it might be because the culture hasn't caught up with your message. In this episode, labor organizer and social change strategist Ken Grossinger shares how his journey from labor organizing to cultural advocacy revealed a truth many overlook: policy changes fade, but stories—and the art that tells them—have staying power. In this episode:Discover how blending power analysis with artistic expression can amplify grassroots campaigns and drive long-term social change.Hear powerful case studies—from a revolutionary museum exhibit in Louisville to a musical uprising in Alaska—that reveal how art can expose injustice and build movements.Learn from real-world collaborations between artists and organizers that shift narratives, challenge power, and activate communities in ways no policy paper ever could.Tune in now to hear how Ken Grossinger's book ART WORKS and his work in communities across the U.S. show us why art isn't just a reflection of justice—it's how we get there.BIOKen Grossinger, has been a leading strategist in movements for social and economic justice for thirty-five years, in unions, philanthropic and community organizations.For two decades, Ken was one of the labor movement's leading strategists.

Back after a year on hiatus! Noah Smith & Brad DeLong Record the Podcast They, at Least, Would Like to Listen to!; Aspirationally Bi-Weekly (Meaning Every Other Week); Aspirationally an hour...Sokrates: The people find some protector, whom they nurse into greatness… but then changes, as indicated in the old fable of the Temple of Zeus of the Wolf, of how he who tastes human flesh mixed up with the flesh of other sacrificial victims will turn into a wolf. Even so, the protector, once metaphorically tasting human blood, slaying some and exiling others, within or without the law, hinting at the cancellation of debts and the fair redistribution of lands, must then either perish or become a werewolf—that is, a tyrant…Key Insights:* We are back! After a year-long hiatus.* Hexapodia is a metaphor: a small, strange insight (like alien shrubs riding on six-wheeled carts as involuntary agents of the Great Evil) can provide key insight into useful and valuable Truth.* The Democratic Party is run by 27-year-old staffers, not geriatric figurehead politicians–this shapes messaging and internal dynamics.* The American progressive movement did not possess enough assibayah to keep from fracturing over Gaza War, especially among younger Democratic staffers influenced by social media discourse.* The left's adoption of “indigeneity” rhetoric undermined its ability to be a coalition in the face of tensions generated by the Hamas-Israel terrorism campaigns.* Trump's election with more popular votes than Harris destroyed Democratic belief that they had a right to oppose root-and-branch.* The belief that Democrats are the “natural majority” of the U.S. electorate is now false: nonvoters lean Trump, not so much Republican, and definitely not Democratic.* Trump's populism is not economic redistribution, but a claim to provide a redistribution of status and respect to those who feel culturally disrespected.* The Supreme Court's response to Trumpian overreach is likely to be very cautious—Barrett and Roberts are desperately eager to avoid any confrontation with Trump they might wind up losing, and Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Thomas will go the extra mile—they are Republicans who are judges, not judges who are Republicans, except in some extremis that may not even exist.* Trump's administration pursues selective repression through the state, rather than stochastic terrorism.* The economic consequence of the second Trump presidency look akin to another Brexit costing the U.S. ~10% of its prosperity, or more.* Social media, especially Twitter a status warfare machine–amplifying trolls and extremists, suppressing nuance.* People addicted to toxic media diets but lack the tools or education to curate better information environments.* SubStack and newsletters may become part of a healthier information ecosystem, a partial antidote to the toxic amplification of the Shouting Class on social media.* Human history is marked by information revolutions (e.g., printing press), each producing destructive upheaval before stabilization: destruction, that may or may not be creative.* As in the 1930s, we are entering a period where institutions–not mobs–become the threat, even as social unrest diminishes.* The dangers are real,and recognizing and adapting to new communication realities is key to preserving democracy.* Plato's Republic warned of democracy decaying into tyranny, especially when mob-like populism finds a strongman champion who then, having (metaphorically) fed on human flesh, becomes a (metaphorical) werewolf.* Enlightenment values relied more than we knew on print-based gatekeeping and slow communication; digital communication bypasses these safeguards.* The cycle of crisis and recovery is consistent through history: societies fall into holes they later dig out of, usually at great cost—or they don't.* &, as always, HEXAPODIA!References:* Brown, Chad P. 2025. “Trump's trade war timeline 2.0: An up-to-date guide”.

The average person checks his or her phone one hundred and fifty a times a day. Let that sink in a minute. Something has our attention, and it may not be for our good. Tristan Harris believes this. He’s one of the voices in a film that features some of the top names in technology, people who ushered us into “social media.” But instead of praise, their voices are sounding an alarm, calling our reality (and the film) The Social Dilemma. “We’re the product. Our attention is the product being sold to advertisers.” We give our attention to what we believe is valuable or worthy. And in a very real sense, what we give attention to we can find ourselves worshiping. That word “dilemma” indicates a situation where a choice has to be made. Believe it or not, we face such a dilemma in our spiritual lives, a choice we have to make daily: Who or what will I give my attention to? In other words, Who or what will I worship? The psalmist clearly made his choice: “Every day I will praise you [God] and extol your name for ever and ever” (Psalm 145:2). The verse that follows gives his rationale: “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom” (v. 3). The psalmist believed nothing compared to God’s greatness, and so he focused his attention there. God and God alone is worthy of our praise.

Discussing a documentary I watched last night. My thoughts on the art of conversation and getting out of your comfort zone.

I'm fired up in this episode of Tea with GaryVee. We cover everything from TikTok regret to balancing business and personal life, and—spoiler alert—balance is a myth. A caller shares her journey of blowing up on TikTok in 2019, getting spooked by The Social Dilemma, and then deleting everything—only to return years later, realizing it was never "too late." We also dive into the fear of shifting business focus, whether it's leaving a steady income source for a new passion or dealing with negative feedback when breaking cultural norms. We talk about:

The conversation covers how digital footprints from social media, GPS data, and more are leveraged to create psychological profiles, shaping everything from advertisements to decision-making. Sandra provides unique insights into the controversial Cambridge Analytica case and discusses the democratization of personalized content generation through tools like ChatGPT. Whether you're curious about personality psychology, the ethics of data privacy, or the evolving role of AI, this episode is a must-listen.

What do kink, dopamine and addiction reveal about the human experience? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Anna Lembke, Stanford Psychiatry Professor and author of Dopamine Nation, unravels the secrets of addiction and the delicate balance between pleasure and pain. We explore topics such as the neuroscience of kink, the psychology of addictive personalities, and how contemporary issues have reshaped our culture. With thought-provoking insights, Dr. Lembke examines the hidden forces driving our behaviours - from the "drugification" of modern life to the surprising connections between shame, spirituality, and recovery. We delve into the psychology of craving, the lessons addicts can teach us about resilience, and practical steps anyone can take to avoid falling into dopamine traps. This episode might challenge some of your conventional thinking (hello pain) while offering grounded, science-based advice for living a more balanced and intentional life - to make sure you get a bit of aftercare to ease the journey. It's perfect for anyone who's curious about avoiding addictive habits and enjoys a laugh along the way. Refreshingly human and deeply inspiring for all.

I've been inspired into action by documentaries like Food Inc. and The Social Dilemma before, but never has one felt so relevant to my work than the recent Netflix release, Buy Now!

In a world of overindulgence, from drugs, food, news, and social media, Dr. Anna Lembke reveals the science that explains why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain... and what to do about it. She explains how addiction works in the brain and how this plays out on an individual level from the micro decisions we make every single day to the macro. She shares the proven methods to escaping this cycle of suffering and how by intentionally choosing pain through healthy practices like cold plunges, exercise, and meditation, we can reset our dopamine levels in our brain.  She explores the concept of delayed gratification as defined by "The Marshmallow Experiment" which discovered a correlation between success in life and ability to delay gratification.  This episode is full or practical takeaways for anyone looking to better understand their brain and relationship to dopamine/addiction.

This episode will a bit usual. Previously, we covered a broad spectrum of app marketing topics that are on all people's minds - user acquisition, app retention, app monetization, app subscriptions and so forth. Today, we're going to touch on something that unfortunately isn't appreciated as much as it should be. If you ever watched the 2020's movie The Social Dilemma, that explores the dangerous human impact of social networking, you would remember that addiction was in the heart of the issue that the movie explored. Well, in today's episode we'll be talking about how to build apps that engage with people on a big scale and yet - they don't lead to forming an addiction. To that end, we have Yves (ИВ) to talk about his app WeWard as a great example. Today's Topics Include: Yves background What is WeWard How to make money while promoting eco-friendly behaviors without encouraging unhealthy screen habits Making sure streaks enhance user well-being and don't foster addictive behaviour Benefiting users and the plant by driving behavior change Android or iOS? Leaving his smartphone at home, what features would Yves miss most? What features he would like to see added to his smartphone? Links and Resources: Yves Benchimol on LinkedIn WeWard Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Yves Benchimol: "Create a habit to people is very complicated, but when you create a habit. It's very difficult also to remove. Some people say that it's more difficult to remove a bad habit than creating a good habit. So to create a good habit, you have to use the classic tricks that the brain likes. And the brain, if you read some cognitive science book, you will understand that every brain is working the same." "If you want to launch an app, I would suggest try to focus on the main benefit of the app, try to run the most simple version of the app. Remove every aspect, like the streak was not part of the app when we launched it, the gamification was very little. The concept was giving reward to people for working, so it was just a step counter and you earn one coin every 1,000 steps. Today the app is well more developed with social environment gamification but at the beginning we just need to verify the concept and you can have thousand and hundred of thousand of users with a very simple concept, you just need like to simplify as much as possible, because this is where you will have the ability to test more quickly and to improve your app and to test and learn the most faster."

Screening Big Data: Films that Shape Our Algorithmic Literacy (Routledge, 2024) examines the influence of key films on public understanding of big data and the algorithmic systems that structure our digitally mediated lives. From star-powered blockbusters to civic-minded documentaries positioned to facilitate weighty debates about artificial intelligence, these texts frame our discourse and mediate our relationship to technology. Above all, they impact society's abilities to regulate AI and navigate big tech's political and economic manoeuvres to achieve market dominance and regulatory capture.  Foregrounding data politics with close readings of key films like Moneyball, Minority Report, The Social Dilemma, and Coded Bias, in Screening Big Data by Dr. Gerald Sim reveals compelling ways in which films and tech industry–adjacent media define apprehension of AI. With the mid-2010s techlash in danger of fizzling out, Screening Big Data explores the relationship between this resistance and cultural infrastructure while highlighting the urgent need to refocus attention onto how technocentric media occupy the public imagination. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode, we tackle a thought-provoking question from one of our listeners: Is it ethical to use urgency as a marketing tactic?  This question sparked a deep conversation about the ethics of digital marketing, particularly the use of scarcity to drive sales.  We feature insights from Daniel Bisett, partner and CXO at WeRock DM, who shares his thoughts after watching "The Social Dilemma" and wrestling with the impact of digital marketing on mental health. Bisett discusses the ethical concerns of creating false urgency in marketing, comparing it to the stress and pressure felt by consumers during high-stakes purchases, like a kitchen remodel. He argues that manipulating customers with "FOMO" (Fear of Missing Out) can lead to hasty, anxiety-driven decisions, which ultimately harm the customer and the brand's reputation.  Instead, Bisett advocates for building trust and long-term relationships by offering genuine value rather than pressure-filled transactions. Bisett's message and our subsequent discussion challenge marketers to reflect on their tactics and consider the long-term implications of their strategies, not just for their business, but for their customers' well-being. In this episode, we further explore whether using behavioral science in marketing crosses ethical lines, especially when marketers understand more about customer behavior than the customers themselves. We also delve into the nuances of ethical intent, the role of empathy, and the importance of transparency in marketing practices. We also discuss how companies can ensure they are not just making sales but also treating customers with dignity and respect. In this episode you will also learn: The ethical implications of using behavioral science in marketing. The difference between needs-based selling and manipulative sales tactics. The role of empathy in ethical marketing decisions. How intent and transparency can help marketers stay on the ethical side of business. Real-life examples of ethical and unethical marketing practices. Strategies for building long-term customer relationships based on trust and value.  

How information (and misinformation) spreads online continues to change with the media landscape. Renée DiResta and Ryan continue their conversation on the role of podcasts as a medium, the pitfalls of audience capture, and the dynamics of social media silos.

Renée DiResta is a technical research manager at Stanford Internet Observatory and has briefed world leaders, advised Congress, the State Department, and a myriad of organizations on how online manipulation can take different forms.

Dr. Anna Lembke, professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine, chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, and New York Times bestselling author of the books, Drug Dealer, MD and Dopamine Nation joins me on this episode. Dr. Lembke, a clinician scholar, has published over a hundred peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries. She sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations, has testified before various committees in the United States House of Representatives and Senate, keeps an active speaking calendar, and maintains a thriving clinical practice.

“If you make it trend, you make it true” is a terrifyingly real quote across the cover of Renée DiResta's book, Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies Into Reality. Renée DiResta studies the many ways that people attempt to manipulate or target others online, similar to what Ryan talks about in his first book, Trust Me, I'm Lying. In this episode, Renée and Ryan talk about the shift from traditional journalism ethics to the new realm of social media influence, the psychological impact of online engagement, and the societal consequences of misinformation. Renée DiResta is a technical research manager at Stanford Internet Observatory and has briefed world leaders, advised Congress, the State Department, and a myriad of organizations on how online manipulation can take different forms. Renée's book, Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies Into Reality, is all about the virtual rumor mill and how niche propagandists can shape public opinion.She was also featured in Netflix's documentary, The Social Dilemma which came out in 2020.

Anna Lembke est une psychiatre de renom, et diectrice de la clinique de médecine de l'addiction et du double diagnostic de l'université de Stanford et autrice de "Dopamnine nation". C'est la médecin de référence dans le documentaire "the Social dilemna" (derrière nos écrans de fumée) que vous avez sans doute vu! Autant dire que c'est une invitée qui mérite très largement un épisode en anglais. Je vous propose une conversation approfondie sur le monde fascinant de l'addiction, de l'emprise des opioïdes aux dépendances numériques qui façonnent nos vies modernes. Anna partage son point de vue sur la façon dont notre recherche du plaisir conduit à une douleur accrue et à la dépendance, en se plongeant dans les mécanismes du cerveau, le concept de déséquilibre de la dopamine et les répercussions psychologiques de nos choix de mode de vie. Nous évoquons également le travail remarquable d'Anna dans ce domaine, mis en lumière dans son livre « Dopamine Nation », et sa participation au documentaire percutant « The Social Dilemma ». En outre, elle aborde le sujet controversé des psychédéliques tels que la psilocybine et la MDMA, en examinant à la fois leur potentiel thérapeutique et les dangers de la dépendance. Cet épisode regorge d'histoires marquantes, de conseils d'experts sur la gestion de la dépendance et du point de vue unique d'Anna sur les raisons pour lesquelles la société doit s'efforcer de faire preuve de modération dans notre monde d'abondance constante. Que vous luttiez contre vos propres addictions, que vous connaissiez quelqu'un qui en souffre ou que vous soyez simplement fasciné par la psychologie humaine, cette conversation ne manquera pas de vous éclairer et de vous inspirer. Installez-vous confortablement pour un épisode qui offre non seulement des défis, mais aussi des voies pleines d'espoir vers la guérison et l'équilibre. Les questions que l'on traite : 1. Can you explain how the brain's response to opioids can lead to increased pain rather than relief? 2. You mentioned a gradual tapering off approach for stopping opioid use. What are the key stages of this process, and why is it preferred over abrupt cessation? 3. In regards to digital device addiction, what are some practical strategies individuals can adopt to manage their device use effectively? 4. How does the pursuit of the perfect self through biohacking and social media contribute to addiction? Can you provide examples? 5. Discussion on "dopamine nation" suggests a mismatch between our ancient brain wiring and today's world of abundance. How does this mismatch contribute to modern day addictions? 6. What role do governments, schools, and corporations have in addressing the global dopamine deficit state you mentioned? Could you outline some interventions they could implement? 7. Considering the positive and negative impacts of psychedelics you discussed, how should regulations around the therapeutic use of substances like psilocybin and MDMA evolve? 8. With your deep dive into the impact of exercise on dopamine production, what advice would you give to someone looking to balance pleasure and pain through physical activity? 9. You shared an impactful story about a patient named Jacob. Could you discuss how individual stories like his shape your approach to addiction treatment and public advocacy? 10. The concept of an "addictive personality" was briefly mentioned. Could you delve deeper into how understanding one's baseline dopamine levels and genetic factors could aid in personalized addiction treatment plans?

We discussed a few things including:1. Their career journeys2. The mental health crisis3. Jen's vision/promly4. Danielle's research and vision for Thrive Genetics + The Child Code5. Trends, challenges and opportunities in healthJennifer Libby has been a psychotherapist for over 20 years treating at-risk adolescents. Jennifer has been sounding the alarm for many years about the rapidly emerging youth mental health crisis exacerbated by less than responsible social media platforms. Frustrated by the slow movement by the social media industry to “do better” for kids, and in response to her own family tragedy, Jennifer founded Promly as a healthier alternative to legacy social media. Jennifer's advocacy for better treatment of youth by Big Tech was well received recently in Washington, D.C. where she spoke to a large group of U.S. House Representatives regarding her on-going efforts (informed by client experience and Promly's Gen Z advisory board) to have YouTube remove and/or disrupt the algorithm for the “how to tie a noose” and “how to hang yourself” videos that provide step by step video instructions often created by teens themselves. Of note, suicide by hanging in children and teens has increased by exponential numbers in the last 10 years. It is examples like this that drive Promly to re-imagine how social media can “do better” for teens. Jennifer also speaks publicly on a variety of other mental health concerns impacting teens and has provided consultation with numerous agencies including Center for Humane Tech (producers of the “The Social Dilemma”) on best practices for teens and tech. ---Danielle Dick, Ph.D. is the Greg Brown Endowed Chair of Neuroscience and a Professor of Psychiatry at Rutgers University, where she directs the Rutgers Addiction Research Center. She is an internationally recognized and award-winning expert on genetic and environmental influences on addiction, child development, and human behavior. She has led and contributed to more than 20 grants from the National Institutes of Health, with grant funding totaling 55 million dollars. She has 450 peer-reviewed publications and has won numerous national and international awards for her work. She has been named one of the most highly cited researchers in the world across all fields of science. Her first book "The Child Code: Understanding Your Child's Unique Nature for Happier, More Effective Parenting" was published by Penguin Random House in September 2021.#podcast #AFewThingsPodcast

Suicides. Self harm. Depression and anxiety. The toll of a social media-addicted, phone-based childhood has never been more stark. It can be easy for teens, parents and schools to feel like they're trapped by it all. But in this conversation with Tristan Harris, author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt makes the case that the conditions that led to today's teenage mental health crisis can be turned around – with specific, achievable actions we all can take starting today.This episode was recorded live at the San Francisco Commonwealth Club.  Correction: Tristan mentions that 40 Attorneys General have filed a lawsuit against Meta for allegedly fostering addiction among children and teens through their products. However, the actual number is 42 Attorneys General who are taking legal action against Meta.Clarification: Jonathan refers to the Wait Until 8th pledge. By signing the pledge, a parent  promises not to give their child a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. The pledge becomes active once at least ten other families from their child's grade pledge the same.

Thomas is joined by Co-Founder of the Center for Humane Technology, Randima Fernando. They discuss how technology hijacks our dopamine response and reinforces trauma symptoms. Randima explains the downstream consequences of the “attention economy,” including social media's addictiveness and its negative impacts on our psychology. He and Thomas explore how better technology education, along with mindfulness practices, can offset these negative effects and help us bring our dopamine systems back into balance. Randima emphasizes how important it is, for both children and adults, to understand our own moral motivations so that we can become less susceptible to manipulation from technology and media. This episode is part one of a four-part series on Technology, Innovation, and Consciousness. ✨  Join Thomas for a free, live online event with Q&A - The Evolving Map for Trauma Healing
