Do you really want a longer life? I always put those modifiers in—my conditions for living to a ripe age. And I think most of us would say that without some sense of enjoyment, some purpose for living, it might not be worth it. But there are other things we need to consider. What about the implications for broader society? Can we, as the human race, support this concept? I don't know if I'll answer those questions completely in this episode. However, I will explore the potential problems and benefits of having a population in which maturity takes on new meaning. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/396  

SummaryIn this engaging conversation, Danielle Strickland and James Scholl discuss with Jared Brock the themes of evil, the nature of Satan, and the insights from his book 'A Devil Named Lucifer'. They explore the misconceptions surrounding the devil, the importance of human agency, and the dynamics of spiritual warfare. The discussion also touches on the relevance of biblical teachings in understanding modern issues of morality and choice. In this conversation, the speakers explore the complex themes of freedom, autonomy, and the influence of the devil in contemporary society. They discuss the paradox of freedom as seen through the lens of Jesus' sacrifice, the misconceptions surrounding demonic influence, and the need for discernment in understanding mental illness versus spiritual oppression. The conversation also delves into the economic injustices that reflect satanic principles, the false gods of modern society, and the importance of recognizing God's sovereignty over evil. Ultimately, they emphasize the Christian mission of liberation and the necessity of right-sizing both God and the devil in our understanding of faith and life.TakeawaysThe devil is not an equal opponent to God.Satan's role is often misunderstood in modern Christianity.Human agency plays a crucial role in resisting evil.The concept of possession is more about individuals holding onto demons.Footholds and strongholds can be identified in our lives.Freedom is about choosing the virtuous, not autonomy.The devil's influence is often through lies and deception.Understanding the historical context of evil can reshape our views.Revelation reflects cycles of rebellion and salvation throughout history.The portrayal of Satan in popular culture is often inaccurate.

In this episode, I speak to Jo Piazza, bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance, podcaster, and award-winning journalist. We discuss tradwives and its financial and social implications.  Given that Financial Samurai is about achieving financial freedom sooner, being financially dependent on someone as an adult is the exact opposite of what I want for readers. A tradwife typically denotes a woman who believes in and practices traditional gender roles and marriages. Some may choose to take on a homemaking role within their marriage or leave their careers to focus on meeting their family's needs at home. According to Google Trends, online searches for the term "tradwife" began to rise in popularity around mid-2018 and reached high levels during the early 2020s.

We're surrounded by uncertainty and we don't like the feeling of not knowing. But there's often hidden strength in some things that make us uncomfortable. Maggie Jackson's new book explores the research that shows that uncertainty is not a weakness, but instead can be a powerful tool for navigating complexity with creativity and adaptability. Maggie Jackson joins us from Rhode Island to discuss her new book Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure and why we should embrace uncertainty as a catalyst for curiosity - and more. ________________________ Bio Maggie Jackson is an award-winning author and journalist known for her prescient writings on social trends, particularly technology's impact on humanity. Her new book Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure has been lauded as "remarkable and persuasive" (Library Journal); "trending" (Book Pal); "incisive and timely-triumphant" (Dan Pink); and "both surprising and practical" (Gretchen Rubin). Nominated for a National Book Award, Uncertain was named a Top 10 Social Sciences book of 2023 by Library Journal and a Top 50 Psychology book of the year by the Next Big Idea Club. The book inspired Jackson's recent lead opinion piece in the New York Times on uncertainty and resilience. Her acclaimed book Distracted: Reclaiming Our Focus in a World of Lost Attention sparked a global conversation on the steep costs of our tech-centric, attention-deficient modern lives. With a foreword by Bill McKibben, the book reveals the scientific discoveries that can help rekindle our powers of focus in a world of overload and fragmentation. Hailed as “influential” by the New Yorker and compared by Fast Company.com to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Distracted offers a “richly detailed and passionately argued … account of the travails facing an ADD society” (Publishers Weekly) and “concentrates the mind on a real problem of modern life” (The Wall Street Journal). The book is “now more essential than ever,” says Pulitzer finalist Nicholas Carr. Maggie Jackson's essays, commentary, and books have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, New Philosopher, on National Public Radio, and in media worldwide. She wrote the foreword to Living with Robots: Emerging Issues on the Psychological and Social Implications of Robotics (Academic Press, 2019) and has contributed essays to numerous other anthologies, including State of the American Mind: Sixteen Leading Critics on the New Anti-Intellectualism (Templeton, 2015) and The Digital Divide: Arguments For and Against Facebook, Google, Texting, and the Age of Social Networking (Penguin, 2011). Her book, What's Happening to Home? Balancing Work, Life and Refuge in the Information Age, was the first to explore the fate of home in the digital age, a time when private life is permeable and portable. Jackson is the recipient of numerous grants, awards, and fellowships, including a 2016 Bard Graduate Center Visiting Fellowship; Media Awards from the Work-Life Council of the Conference Board, the Massachusetts Psychological Association, and the Women's Press Club of New York. For a National Public Radio segment on the lack of labor protections offered to child newspaper carriers, she was a finalist for a Hillman Prize, one of journalism's highest honors for social justice reporting. Jackson has served as an affiliate of the Institute of the Future in Palo Alto; a Journalism Fellow in Child and Family Policy at the University of Maryland; and a Scholar-in-Residence at the Museum for Art in Wood in Philadelphia. Her website has been named a Forbes Top 100 Site for Women three times. Jackson is a sought-after speaker, appearing at Harvard Business School, the New York Public Library, the annual invitation-only Forbes CMO summit, the Simmons and other top women's leadership conferences, and other corporations, libraries, hospitals, schools, religious organizations, and bookstores.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, delve deep into the evolving world of artificial intelligence with my guest, Kendra Koch. Together, we explore the nuances of AI's capabilities and its profound implications on human thought, sensory perception, and creativity. Kendra, a seasoned entrepreneur and wellness advocate, brings her rich experience and unique perspectives on how AI intersects with health and human psychology. For those interested in exploring more about Kendra Koch's work or looking for resources mentioned in the podcast, you can visit her platform focused on sensory wellness at Get Touchy Feely. This site serves as a hub for exploring tools and information designed to support individuals with sensory sensitivities, offering both a deep dive into content and practical solutions. Check out this GPT that we trained on this converation Timestamps 00:05:00 - The practical use of AI in creating content drafts and the limitations in capturing human essence in writing. 00:10:00 - Discussion on AI's impact on employment and its ability to adapt to societal changes. 00:15:00 - The influence of AI on information accuracy and the ethical considerations in AI training. 00:20:00 - Exploring human senses beyond the typical five and their implications for AI perception. 00:25:00 - The role of AI in leveling the playing field in technology and education globally. 00:30:00 - The nuances of language, culture, and the adaptive use of AI in language learning. 00:35:00 - The potential of AI in personalizing content creation and its impact on the authenticity of storytelling. 00:40:00 - Philosophical considerations on the essence of human creativity and AI's role in capturing human experiences. 00:45:00 - Kendra's current projects focusing on sensory wellness and leveraging AI to enhance user experiences in this area. Key Insights AI as a Double-Edged Sword for Cognitive Work: Kendra Koch shared that working with AI challenges the common misconception that technology simplifies cognitive tasks. Instead, she found that AI requires deeper thinking and precise communication, much like delegating tasks to humans. This insight suggests that AI's value lies not in replacing human effort but in enhancing our capacity to think and articulate clearly. Sensory Perception Beyond the Traditional Five Senses: The discussion highlighted that humans have more than the commonly acknowledged five senses, with Kendra mentioning proprioception and interoception among others. This expanded view of human sensory experience can inform how we develop AI technologies, emphasizing the need for AI systems to account for a broader spectrum of human sensory inputs. AI's Limitations in Content Creation: Despite advancements, AI still struggles to replicate the depth and nuance of human-generated content. Kendra noted that while AI can produce a competent first draft, it lacks the ability to fully capture the 'spark' or emotional depth that characterizes compelling human writing. This underscores the ongoing challenges in AI's application in creative fields. The Impact of Training Data on AI Output: Kendra discussed how the quality of AI-generated content is heavily dependent on the training data. If AI is trained on a dataset with a high proportion of poor-quality content, the output is likely to be similarly affected. This raises important considerations for how AI models are trained, particularly in ensuring a high standard of input data. AI and the Nuance of Human Language: The episode explored how AI handles language nuances, particularly in translating unique cultural phrases or concepts. Kendra pointed out that certain expressions or nuances can be lost in translation by AI, reflecting the machine's current inability to fully grasp context and cultural depth in language. The Ethical and Social Implications of AI: Kendra and Stewart discussed the potential social implications of AI, such as job displacement and the ethical considerations of AI training. The conversation brought to light the importance of thoughtful and inclusive development of AI technologies to mitigate negative impacts and enhance societal benefits. The Future of AI in Personal and Professional Development: Looking ahead, the podcast touched on the potential for AI to democratize learning and development opportunities, particularly in coding and other technical skills. Kendra's work in Argentina using AI to help locals improve their job prospects exemplifies the positive potential of AI to level the playing field in global economic participation.

Dimes and Judas discuss the legal liabilities of having a murder vision board, Taylor Swift controlling the White birth rate, and review the surreal classic “The Holy Mountain.” After dissecting two articles that show work kills fertility and the work-from-home movement has achieved victory through equilibrium, Dimes segues into the concept of phantom time through the book “A Guide to the Phantom Dark Age” by Emmett Scott. There they learn of a conspiracy to invent the Middle Ages for regency purposes, the myth of Charlemagne, and the implications the absence of a dark age occurring after the fall of an empire has on our dreams of collapse. Lastly, on this edition of The Copepranos Society, we syndicate an interview Dimes had on The Carousel where he speaks to Isaac about life in the advertising agency world and the struggle to be a non-alcoholic author.

In this week's episode, host Margaret Walls talks with Becky Epanchin-Niell, an associate professor at the University of Maryland and a senior fellow at Resources for the Future. Epanchin-Niell discusses how climate change and human land and water use have accelerated the frequency and extent of saltwater intrusion, which is saltwater contamination in freshwater rivers, soils, and aquifers. Epanchin-Niell and Walls also talk about the implications of saltwater intrusion for coastal ecosystems, drinking water, and the agricultural sector. Epanchin-Niell's recent research examines how saltwater intrusion affects agricultural practices on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Continuing the discussion from episode 3, Dr. Ward delves into the societal implications of how we respond to the feeling tones we experience when consuming the news. Feelings of pleasantness, unpleasantness and neutrality are a natural and normal part of being human. Like clouds, they come and they go. Yet when we scroll through our social feeds or listen to the news, we can unconsciously develop reactions to these feelings that drive our ego and shape our definition of self and others. The practice is to remain open and aware of the movements of our body and mind, so that we do not get seduced by neutrality or stuck in the pursuit of power and desire.Notes:Non-reification: Reification is the act of treating something that is abstract, like an idea or ideology, as if it were a concrete thing. The practice of non-reification helps us to ensure we do not get caught by our feeling tones, that we see concepts and ideas as impermanent. Skillful attention: Mindfulness practice of learning about the systems of our body and mind, and how they impact our presence in society.Support the showBeyond the News is made possible through the generous support from Hemera Foundation and the Frederick P.

HR2 Heritage Fndn. Expert Explains Legal & Social Implications: "Respect for Marriage Act" 11-29-22 by John Rush

How will AI change our jobs? Will it replace humans and eliminate jobs? Will it help humans get things done? Will it create new opportunities for new jobs? People often speculate on these topics, doing their best to predict the somewhat unpredictable.To help us get a better understanding of the current state of humans and AI working together, we talked with Tom Davenport and Steve Miller about their recently-released book, Working with AI. The book is centered around 29 detailed and deeply-researched case studies about human-AI collaboration in real-world work settings. What they show is that AI isn't a job destroyer but a technology that changes the way we work.Tom is Distinguished Professor of Information Technology and Management at Babson College, Visiting Professor at Oxford's Saïd Business School, Fellow of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, and Senior Advisor to Deloitte's AI practice. He is the author of The AI Advantage and coauthor of Only Humans Need Apply and other books.Steve is Professor Emeritus of Information Systems at Singapore Management University, where he previously served as Founding Dean of the School of Computing and Information Systems and Vice Provost for Research.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Jeffrey Brosco to the NBSTRN SPOTlight today. Dr. Brosco will share moving stories from his lifetime of experiences caring for children and families as a clinician who specializes in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics. Dr. Brosco has both an M.D. and a Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, and he serves as Florida's Title V Director for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs. Dr. Brosco has written numerous articles on the ethical, legal, social implications of newborn screening and along with Diane Paul, he authored a book called The PKU Paradox: A Short History of a Genetic Disease.  In 2019 Dr. Brosco was awarded the Maternal and Child Health Bureau Director's Award for contributions to the health of infants, mothers, children, adolescents, and children with special health care needs across the United States. Listen along with us as Dr. Brosco discusses a wide range of topics including the use of genomics to help end the diagnostic odyssey for families.      Podcast Interview Questions for Dr. Jeff Brosco You are a pediatrician with a specialty in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics and also currently the State of Florida's Title V Director for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs.How did you get involved with newborn screening research? (Perhaps, you can give our listeners some background on Title V and your role as the director in your response). You have written numerous articles on the ethical, legal, social implications of newborn screening. In one of your articles, you mentioned that whole and exome sequencing can add medical insights for families in the ‘diagnostic odyssey' but in some case, families are still on the therapeutic odyssey. Here, you proposed a family-center approach to care in the genomic era. Could you elaborate to our listeners what this would be? Research helps to advance newborn screening by increasing the number of conditions that may be a fit for early identification and intervention. Where do you think the next decade of research will take newborn screening? In your recent publication, titled “Newborn Screening in Latin America: A Window on the Evolution of Health Policy,” you hypothesized that the history of NBS programs could be used to understand the development of health policy. Please share some of your takeaways from this effort and which comes first – NBS expansion or health policy – or are they intertwined? Are there unique game changers from a historical perspective that resulted in significant change? Are you involved in training the next generation of developmental-behavioral pediatricians and what do you tell them about newborn screening research? You played a key role in advancing the efforts of the NBSTRN for many years. What role does NBSTRN play? What role could NBSTRN play in your efforts to addressing the ethical, legal, social implications of NBS? As you think about your career as a clinician, are there any patient or family stories that you'd like to share with our audience? What does NBS research mean to you?

This week, we're joined by a guest with a deep background in global ag. Dr. Kelly Wilson is the Assistant Director of the University of Missouri Center for Regenerative Agriculture, and brings us what she calls the definition-defying nature of regenerative ag. She doesn't give us a specific definition, because she believes that regenerative can mean different things in different places to different people, but does give us an overview of what her research covers and what the Center does. She also regales us with tales of her agriculture experiences in sub-Saharan Africa, where she worked with subsistence farmers and saw a very different mode of agricultural production that was focused mainly on feeding the people who farmed the land. This is an excellent interview with a great guest in our series on regenerative agriculture. Don't miss it! This episode was brought to you by FMC. The Center for Regenerative Agriculture can be found at:https://cra.missouri.edu/about/

I'm joined by two different guest to cover separate points for the same subject. We have a law student to discuss the history that led to the ruling of granting abortion rights nationwide back in 1973. Then I have a friend to converse the societal impacts of a possible overturn will have- will this potential overturn create new conversations that have been swept under the rug? Perhaps time to overturn the sexual revolution with the "sexual renaissance?" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tabootopic/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tabootopic/support

In this episode, Rob Telson speaks with Katina Michaels, Professor and Public Interest Technology advocate about the social implications of technology, beneficial AI, and much more.

New technologies are coming in the near future that will push the boundaries of what we understand to be human and that will radically change what it means to be human. Cybernetic and biomedical technologies such as cloning, genetic engineering and nanotechnology are just a few of those and could make life better for everyone. What this could mean is the elimination of most diseases, babies free of genetic defects, the creation of non-human sentient beings that may have legal rights and the possibility of near immortality. All of these technologies hold great promise, but they also pose profound challenges to our culture, to our health and our democratic political systems. When humans become more than human - "post-human" or "transhuman" - these new technologies will require new answers for questions, such as: What limits should we place on the freedom of individuals to control their own bodies? Who should own genes or other living things? And which technologies should be mandatory, which voluntary and which forbidden? Democracies must assess and respond to these possibilities now and recognize the tremendous opportunities as well as the dangers, in order to actively decide what kind of society we want for ourselves and our children. My guest today has devoted his life and career to pondering and answering these questions. James Hughes Ph.D., the Executive Director of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, is a bioethicist and sociologist who serves as the Associate Provost for Institutional Research, Assessment and Planning for the University of Massachusetts Boston. Dr.. Hughes holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Chicago, and is author of Citizen Cyborg: Why Democratic Societies Must Respond to the Redesigned Human of the Future.
