Podcasts about Speculative

Cc Madhya 22.1-50 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/22/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ In the twenty-second chapter, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu describes the process of devotional service. In the beginning He describes the truth about the living entity and the superexcellence of devotional service. He then describes the uselessness of mental speculation and mystic yoga. In all circumstances the living entity is recommended to accept the path of devotional service as personally explained by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. The speculative method of the so-called jñānīs is considered a waste of time, and that is proved in this chapter. An intelligent person should abandon the processes of karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa and mystic yoga. One should give up all these useless processes and take seriously to the path of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In this way one's life will be successful. If one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness fully, even though he may sometimes be agitated due to having previously practiced mental speculation and yogic mysticism, he will be saved by Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself. The fact is that devotional service is bestowed by the blessings of a pure devotee (sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ). A pure devotee is the supreme transcendentalist, and one has to receive his mercy for one's dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness to be awakened. One has to associate with pure devotees. If one has firm faith in the words of a great soul, pure devotional service will awaken. In this chapter Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu differentiates between a pure devotee and others. He also describes the characteristics of a pure devotee. A devotee's most formidable enemy is association with women in an enjoying spirit. Association with nondevotees is also condemned because it is also a formidable enemy on the path of devotional service. One has to fully surrender unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and give up attraction for women and nondevotees. The six symptoms of fully surrendered souls are also described in this chapter. Devotional service has been divided into two categories — regulative devotional service and spontaneous love. There are sixty-four items listed in regulative devotional service, and out of these sixty-four the last five are considered very important. By practicing even one of the nine processes of devotional service, one can become successful. Speculative knowledge and mystic yoga can never help one in devotional service. Pious activity, nonviolence, sense control and regulation are not separate from devotional service in its pure form. If one engages in devotional service, all good qualities follow. One does not have to cultivate them separately. Spontaneous devotional service arises when one follows a pure devotee who is awakened to spontaneous love of God. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu describes the symptoms of devotees who are already situated in spontaneous love of God. He also describes the devotees who are trying to follow in the footsteps of the pure devotees.

The Gospel of the Skull Crusher | KWR0053 Kingdom War Room Hosts: Dr. Michael K. Lake: Founder, Biblical Life College and Seminary, Scholar-in-Residence, Biblical Life Assembly, Co-Host of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, and Best-Selling Author. Dr. Mike Spaulding: Pastor, Lima Calvary Chapel, Host of Dr. Mike Live, aplogetist, and a prolific author. Dr. Corby Shuey: Pastor, Mount Zion Road Church, President-Elect of Biblical Life Seminary, and Christian author. Guest: Joel Richardson is a New York Times bestselling author, filmmaker, and Bible teacher known for his clear and passionate teaching on biblical prophecy, the return of Jesus, and God's redemptive plan for Israel and the nations. Through his books, films, and online content, Joel seeks to equip believers with a grounded, apocalyptic hope rooted in the Scriptures. The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Gloriously Good News of God's Plan to Fix Everything is a sweeping journey through the entire biblical story—from Eden to the New Jerusalem—revealing the Messiah as the promised "seed of the woman" who crushes the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15). This book traces the war between the two seeds through every major covenant, prophecy, and hope of Scripture. Combining biblical theology, prophetic insight, and devotional clarity, Joel Richardson unveils how the gospel is not merely about escaping this world, but about God's promise to restore all things through the victorious reign of His Son. To Purchase Book: store.joelstrumpet.com == Description Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and special guest Joel Richardson (NYT bestselling author, filmmaker, Bible teacher) to unpack Joel's new book, The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Glorious Good News of God's Plan for Fixing Everything. From Genesis 3:15 and the "war of the seeds" to Jesus as the Divine Warrior, we explore why the Bible is not just a promise book—it's a war narrative with a guaranteed victory at the Cross, fully manifested at the Lord's return. We tackle the "now and not yet" paradigm, embodied hope and the resurrection, the prophetic centrality of Israel (Abrahamic & Davidic covenants), and why recovering a Hebraic, non-Platonic worldview matters for discipleship, evangelism, and everyday faith. Joel also shares why he crafted a tactile, heirloom-quality book (linen cover, foil, ribbon, full-color art) to help readers slow down, wonder, and worship—plus how to access his ongoing chapter-by-chapter Bible study series.

In the latest, shorter episode of the Today's Conveyancer podcast, host David Opie is joined by Rob Gurney, Managing Director at Ochresoft, and Ben Robinson, Managing Director at Landmark Estate Agency Services, to discuss the latest statistics to come out of the quarterly Property Trends Report. But there's not much to say... the property market is subdued. Despite a “return to normality” following the spring's SDLT disruptions there has been little sign of the traditional end of Summer bounce. Instructions in July and September were steady at 98% compared with the previous year, while August dipped to 87%. Completions followed suit, although a spike in September's said more about the weak 2024 market that genuine recovery.Bringing the estate agency view to proceedings, Ben Robinson highlights a record level of price reductions, with some areas seeing more cuts than listings. Supply and demand have both declined, suggesting a shared hesitancy among buyers and sellers. Speculative movers are holding back, wary of potential changes in stamp duty and broader economic uncertainty ahead of the budget. So the conversation instead turns to a new industry charter aiming to reduce transaction times to 28 days. Project 28 isn't about technology - it's about behavioural change. Early instruction of the seller's conveyancer and trusted upfront data are key commitments. The goal is to improve certainty, reduce fall-throughs, and lift the entire sector.And where individual elements of the sector have little macroeconomic impact, initiatives like Project 28 offer a practical path forward. In a market defined by caution, collaboration and early action may be the key to unlocking progress.The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

"What distinguishes this speculative attack from its Weimar predecessor is that now - thanks to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Treasuries, Money Printer Go Brrr memes, and social media - it is nearly impossible for public opinion to misconstrue the economic consequences of the inflation. The speculative attack has evolved from a relatively obscure trading strategy during the Weimar Republic into a coordinated, full-fledged social media-mediated and Wall Street-assisted assault on the monopoly of state-issued money itself."~ Be Water We've entered a world where perception overtakes reality, and debt is the new weapon in a monetary war.

Doug Cohen is constructive on markets – with an asterisk. He says that any cautionary AI capex guidance in 3Q earnings season would be a meaningful negative surprise. He looks to small caps for opportunity but discusses avoiding the Russell 2000 and picking carefully for quality. “I personally would rather go with companies with strong balance sheets.” Doug also talks gold, which he is “still a fan of conceptually” but warns that there's a lot of speculative money there right now.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Cory Johnson's big picture on tech is that it continues to drive markets and the economy, primarily due to capex spending on A.I. On the earnings picture, he liked IBM Corp.'s (IBM) "pretty good" quarter but didn't lean on Tesla's (TSLA) record revenue, believing the company relies too much on future prospects. Turning to next week, Cory offers a warning on Meta Platforms (META) and Alphabet (GOOGL) when it comes to advertising revenue.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Problem: There's no there there. (Recorded on Monday, October 20, 2025.)

In this episode, Vance Crowe sits down with author Devon Erickson to explore why he calls himself a compulsive explainer and how he sees the role of an intellectual: not to end debates, but to start them with powerful metaphors and fresh lenses. They dive deep into empathy as a writer's core skill—simultaneously inhabiting a character's inner world and anticipating the reader's experience—and how that practice shapes Devon's science-fiction novel, Theft of Fire. From first-person perspective and memory palaces to the mechanics of metaphor in thought, they wander into bigger terrain: how online discourse reveals public preoccupations, why villains must believe they're right, and what it takes to write convincingly across gender and worldview.Their conversation also ranges into contested civic ground: the difference between empathy and sympathy, the dynamics of thug mentality and civilized restraint, the risks of escalating political tribalism, and the notion of “soft off-ramps” in American politics. They talk about immigration enforcement as theater versus necessity, institutional capture, and the appeal of centralized control to academics. Then they zoom back to the personal: metabolic health and processed food, the economic pressures on families, inflation as time theft, Bitcoin as an intergenerational lifeboat, and why some boomers feel out of touch with younger realities. They close with Devon's passion project—the cinematic, full-cast audiobook of Theft of Fire—and the promise of classic sci-fi spirit with modern tech rigor.Legacy Interviews - A service that records individuals and couples telling their life stories so that future generations can know their family history. https://www.legacyinterviews.com/experienceRiver.com - Invest in Bitcoin with Confidence https://river.com/signup?r=OAB5SKTPto support the show and buy Bitcoin use the link to our show sponsor River.com https://river.com/invite?r=OAB5SKTP(00:00:04) Opening: Sharing insights vs. repeating talking points(00:03:11) Host intro: Meeting Devon Erickson and The Theft of Fire(00:06:12) Metaphor as the engine of thought and memory(00:14:44) Empathy as a writer's core skill—villains, readers, and realism(00:19:59) Modeling minds: conversational load, perspective taking, and audiences(00:26:06) Writing across gender and identity—finding Miranda's voice(00:29:08) Speculative craft: writing what does not exist(00:30:04) Online discourse: empathy without sympathy and confronting hostility(00:36:55) Self‑defense mindset: lines, intent, and preparedness(00:41:49) Civility, uncivil actors, and the ‘soft off‑ramp' in politics(00:49:31) Purpose of a military and cultural standards debate(00:51:58) Media narratives, ICE, and dealing with the uncivilized(01:02:00) Marxism, envy, and institutions—power vs. merit(01:11:55) Inflation's danger and policy priorities ahead(01:14:16) Immigration, budget crises, and administration choices(01:14:32) Foreign influence and defining America's interests(01:18:14) Money tech: inflation, Bitcoin, and future‑proofing exchange(01:21:15) Order vs. chaos: El Salvador, gangs, and state response(01:37:07) Feminism, industrialized food, and metabolic syndrome(01:46:33) What causes the obesity wave?

With weakness seen in speculative trades like nuclear energy and non-profit tech companies, Charles Schwab's Nathan Peterson makers that case that it opens the door for a continuing rotation trade. He points out that indices overall muscle signs of strength but that continuing economic weakness is showing early signs of impact to stocks. Nate later talks about the tariff conundrum on the economy and the FOMC.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Speculative science fiction really is a genre of its own. Some people love it, others find it pointless, but you can't deny the mental gymnastics involved in imagining the future of our societies, especially when some of those predictions turn out to be right.  In that field, there are a few writers who stand out above the rest: George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and, perhaps most famously, Isaac Asimov. Who exactly was Isaac Asimov? Did he predict a future full of robots then? What about space?To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is future faking? ⁠⁠Will the meat of the future be printed in 3D? Why do we see faces in inanimate objects?

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.Welcome back to another episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show!This week, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Aamir Hussain, whose debut novel Under the Full and Crescent Moon is officially out in the world. This is no ordinary debut. It's a speculative historical novel that asks a bold and fascinating question: Could there be a Muslim matriarchy—and what would that world look like?The story follows Khadija, a young woman growing up in the imagined city of Madid al-Agham, where faith, politics, and the law intertwine. Over the course of 11 transformative months, Khadija becomes a mufti—a scholar and writer of fatwas. She's pulled into debates, courtroom-style conflicts, and life-changing choices, all while negotiating family ties, mentorship, and an intellectual rival who challenges her beliefs and authority.Aamir shares with us how this novel took root. Raised in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and later the Greater Toronto Area, he experienced different expressions of Islam firsthand. After 9/11, he saw the faith misrepresented online—flattened into stereotypes. That disconnect led him to years of research into Islamic history and law, and eventually into the story that became Under the Full and Crescent Moon.We talk about: ✨ The long road to this debut—from early prologue drafts in 2015 to a finished manuscript in 2022. ✨ Writing on Toronto's TTC and GO Train during his daily commute. ✨ Balancing heavy research with a compelling narrative (and how his editor, Julia Kim, helped cut 40,000 words!). ✨ The challenge of writing a female protagonist with honesty and respect—and how early readers gave him confidence in Khadija's voice. ✨ What it means to show, not tell, when weaving faith, politics, and history into fiction.What struck me most in this conversation is Aamir's hope for readers. For Muslim readers, he hopes Khadija's world reflects the richness and diversity within their own communities. For non-Muslim readers, he hopes the book challenges stereotypes and sparks curiosity about the depth of Islamic history and interpretation. More than anything, he wants readers to see that communities, like individuals, are varied, nuanced, and deeply human.On publication day, Aamir admits to feeling a little overwhelmed—but grateful. He didn't originally set out to be a writer, but the story insisted on being written. Now, he's embracing the identity of “novelist” and looking ahead with humility. Will there be another book? Inshallah—God willing.If you love novels that mix immersive worldbuilding with thought-provoking questions, you're going to love this conversation—and you're going to love Khadija.Grab your copy of Under the Full and Crescent Moon and join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how it came to be.

Cooper Howard with Charles Schwab says the latest round of economic data won't do anything to shift the FOMC's interest rate path. He says the recent prints show economic strength with pockets of weakness that warrant cuts. Joe Mazzola adds that "churn" markets are currently seeing are healthy for long-term outlook. He also notes what he considers "speculative" utilities plays like nuclear power companies and talks about his warning to investors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling New Puzzles, Speculative Theories, and the Future of the Hunt Headline: Dark Crisis Deepens with Anomalous Galaxies and Emergent Gravity Theories The search for dark matter faces new challenges, such as the discovery of dwarf galaxies (e.g., DF44, the Dragonfly Galaxy) that appear to lack dark matter, posing a problem for both standard dark matter theory and MOND. With direct WIMP detection still elusive, physicists explore highly speculative theories: primordial black holes (black holes born in the Big Bang), fuzzy dark matter, or decaying dark matter, though these lack observational evidence. Theoreticians like Erik Verlinde propose "emergent gravity," suggesting gravity is not fundamental but arises from a deeper reality, which could imply dark matter doesn't exist at all. The ongoing search involves particle physics, underground experiments, powerful telescopes like the future Extremely Large Telescope, and the International Space Station's AMS experiment looking for antimatter signals, as scientists continue to refine theories and devise new ways to observe the unseen 1956
