POPULARITY
Beschavingen sterven niet met een knal, ze lopen leeg. In deze aflevering leggen Boris en Robert de vinger op de zere plek: van de politiek die volwassenheid heeft ingewisseld voor populisme, tot de vijf symptomen van beschavingsverval die Oswald Spengler al een eeuw geleden beschreef en die vandaag angstaanjagend actueel blijken.Ze duiken in de manieren waarop grootmachten elkaars cultuur actief ondermijnen, de frames en machtsspellen achter geopolitieke beïnvloeding, en waarom de problemen in Duitsland meer zijn dan economisch ongemak. Verder: de langzame dood van de sportautocultuur bij Ferrari, hoe geldcreatie de zin uit werken zuigt en waarom weggaan makkelijker klinkt dan het is.Word bazige baas

In his work "The Decline of the West," Oswald Spengler introduces the concept of the "second religiousness," where an exhausted civilization attempts to return to its metaphysical roots. Spengler saw this transition as a part of the natural life cycle that all civilizations go through. Morgoth joins me to examine the second religiousness and determine if the West is approaching this period.

This week on Sinica, I welcome journalist and former colleague Chang Che. His recent New Yorker piece "How China Learned to Love the Classics" generated enormous attention. We explore one of the more surprising cultural phenomena in contemporary China: a growing, state-backed enthusiasm for the Greco-Roman classics. We dig into what's actually driving this revival, from the genuine intellectual curiosity of scholars like He Yanxiao, who fell in love with the Odyssey as a Chinese high school student and went on to earn a Chicago PhD, to what might be the more deliberate strategic ambitions of figures like Politburo member Li Shulei and the shadow of philosopher Liu Xiaofeng's Straussianism. We also compare Chang's warmly enchanted 2022 China Project piece on Austrian classicist Leopold Lieb to the politically sharper New Yorker piece four years later — and ask what that shift in tone tells us about what's actually changed. This is an episode about civilizational discourse, soft power, and the strange fate of scholarship when the state decides it finds your obscure passion useful.00:32 – Kaiser introduces the episode from Beijing and reflects on the asymmetry in how the West covers Chinese intellectual curiosity 04:08 – Civilizationist discourse: Spengler, Huntington, and The Civilization Trap 10:56 – Introducing Chang Che and the evolution from his 2022 China Project piece to the New Yorker 15:38 – How Chang first got drawn into the subject: Latin classes, Charlottesville, and young Chinese classicists returning from American PhDs 21:38 – What changed in four years: the state moves from background to foreground 25:28 – Inside the institutional push: what China's "classics departments" actually look like, and who controls the definition of "classics" 31:13 – Xi Jinping's letter to Greek scholars and the move, perhaps, to sever ancient Greece from the modern West 39:57 – Liu Xiaofeng, Leo Strauss, and why Strauss fever gripped Chinese intellectuals after 1989 47:03 – The Padilla Peralta "incident" and the strange porousness between American and Chinese discourse communities on the classics 52:13 – Chenchen Zhang's framework: civilizationist discourse claims difference internationally while enforcing homogeneity domestically 57:30 – He Yanxiao, K-pop, and the idea of "Chinatown classics" 01:07:13 – Where will China's classics revival be in ten years?Paying It Forward: Dongxian Jiang (Fordham) and Simon Luo (Nanyang Technological University)Recommendations: Chang recommends House of the Dragon; Kaiser recommends the Ah-Q Arkestra, led by trombonist Matt Roberts, whose latest album Méiyǒu yìjiàn is on Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In deze editie van Filosofisch Actueel Gesprek bespreken Marlies Dekkers, Ad Verbrugge en Jelle van Baardewijk de Israëlische spionagethriller Tehran (Apple TV+). Aan de hand van de serie duiken we in het dubbelleven en de psychologie van de spion, en de keiharde realiteit van de geopolitieke verhoudingen tussen Israël en Iran.Waarom zijn vrouwen vaak de beste spionnen? Wanneer begint een oorlog eigenlijk in het huidige digitale tijdperk? En wat kunnen denkers als Hegel, Sun Tzu en Spengler ons leren over de strijd op leven en dood, en de diepere culturele verschillen tussen het Westen en de islamitische wereld? Een fascinerend gesprek over overlevingsinstinct, loyaliteit en de onzichtbare wereld van de inlichtingendiensten.Kijk (of praat) met ons mee! Heb jij de serie al gezien?

Thema: Kreative Exzellenz in Zeiten von AI „Kreative denken mit dem Herzen. Genau darin liegt ihre Stärke, gerade in Zeiten von KI.“ Was Dörte Spengler-Ahrens, Non-Executive Chairwoman bei Jung von Matt, damit beschreibt, ist der eigentliche Kern der Debatte um Kreativität in Zeiten von KI. Denn je perfekter Bilder, Filme und Stimmungen erzeugt werden können, desto wichtiger wird die Frage, was davon wirklich berührt. Für Dörte liegt genau dort der Unterschied zwischen technologischem Spektakel und kreativer Relevanz. In der neuen Episode von #WhatsNextCreatives sprechen Kim Alexandra Notz und Bärbel Egli-Unckrich mit Dörte darüber, was sich in den letzten zwei Jahren für Kreative tatsächlich verändert hat und was vor allem Lautstärke ist. Es geht um KI als „fleißigsten Praktikanten der Welt“, um neue Freiheiten in der Entwurfsphase und um die Gefahr, dass perfekte Politur plötzlich wichtiger wirkt als die Idee selbst. Ein zentrales Thema ist der Einfluss von KI auf kreative Skills. Dörte macht deutlich, warum Kreative heute beides brauchen: den Mut zum Träumen und die Fähigkeit, neue Tools souverän für sich zu nutzen. Oder anders gesagt: Wenn die KI denkt, muss der Mensch fühlen, überraschen und das Unerwartete schaffen können. Auch der Blick auf Award Shows spielt eine Rolle. Dörte spricht darüber, warum KI-Arbeiten im Moment oft noch an ihrer eigenen Perfektion scheitern, weshalb gesonderte Kategorien aktuell sinnvoll sein können und wo sich echte künstlerische Qualität bereits zeigt – vor allem dort, wo KI nicht alte Logiken imitiert, sondern neue Ausdrucksformen ermöglicht.

Going back a couple of years to talk about the newest iteration in the Ghostbuster franchise! The "classic" characters come back and join forces with the new young crew in Frozen Empire! "The Spengler family returns to the iconic New York City firehouse where the original Ghostbusters have taken ghost-busting to the next level. When the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must unite to protect their home and save the world from a second ice age." I think that one of us is more accepting of this move than the other person haha! We were both excited for it to come out, but not sure that it held up to all of the hype that came with the reintroduction of all of the classic characters from the Ghostbusters of old! But, it's still a passable movie, and you should still make sure that, if somehow, you haven't seen it now, that you go rent it, or buy it in order to close out your Ghostbusters itch!

Tara Erickson & John Humphrey react to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024), the spooky, funny, & surprisingly heartfelt horror-comedy sequel directed by Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist 2015) that brings two generations of Ghostbusters back to where it all started: New York City. Set 3 years after Afterlife, the Spengler family relocates to the classic Firehouse to rebuild the team — only to unleash an ancient evil capable of freezing the world with fear itself. Paul Rudd (Ant-Man, Clueless) returns as Gary Grooberson, now fully suited up as a Ghostbuster alongside Carrie Coon (The Leftovers, Gone Girl) as Callie Spengler. McKenna Grace (The Haunting of Hill House, Captain Marvel) shines as Phoebe Spengler, whose underage status sidelines her — leading to a fateful friendship with Melody, played by Emily Alyn Lind (Fear Street) that ties directly into the film's chilling mystery. The young crew is rounded out by Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things, IT) as Trevor Spengler, Celeste O'Connor (Freaky, Madame Web) as Lucky Domingo, and Logan Kim (Afterlife, Home Sweet Home Alone) as Podcast.

Grow My Accounting Practice | Tips for Accountants & Bookkeepers to Grow Their Business
Show Summary: In this episode, William Spengler breaks down why traditional hiring continues to fail finance leaders—and what top CFOs are demanding instead. He reveals how outdated recruiting systems lack the data integrity, accountability, and measurable ROI that finance executives rely on in every other area of business. William explains why the best CFOs don't want résumé collectors—they want strategic partners who understand business drivers and build relationships before a job search begins. William also shares how Frederick Fox's performance-first hiring model, built on flexible, commission-based partnerships, delivers precision, speed, and long-term retention. He explores how finance leaders balance cost control, culture, and urgency when filling high-impact roles, and what Frederick Fox has learned from working with more than 700 clients. The episode closes with practical lessons any firm can use to improve leadership, growth, and talent strategy beyond recruiting.

Wenn der Beruf Berufung ist: Karin Riegger und Christoph Schoop im Gespräch mit Michèle Schönbächler Christoph Schoop – Zwischen Handwerk und Zukunftsdenken Christoph Schoop ist in einem Umfeld aufgewachsen, das von unternehmerischem Pioniergeist geprägt war. Sein Vater gründete in Dättwil 1955 eine Spenglerei, welche die Spenglertechnik revolutionierte, und damit früh Zeichen in der Branche setze. Christoph Schoop trat nach seiner Ausbildung zum Spengler in den Betrieb ein und übernahm bereits in jungen Jahren die Leitung. Heute denkt er über das klassische Handwerk hinaus: Er investiert in Grundstücke und entwickelt Projekte, die auf Nachhaltigkeit und Machbarkeit ausgerichtet sind. Mit dem „Wikkelhouse“ verfolgt er ein innovatives Wohnkonzept, welches das Leben auf kleinem Raum neu interpretiert. Seine unternehmerische Haltung ist klar: wirtschaftlich denken, aber mit Augenmass – gewinnorientiert, aber nicht gewinnmaximiert um jeden Preis. Schon als Kind genoss er die Natur im Ferienhaus an der Reuss – und noch heute spielt die Natur für ihn eine wichtige Rolle – als Ort der Erholung und als Quelle für neue Ideen. ________________________________________ Karin Riegger - Neue Wege nach einem unerwarteten Umbruch Während 12 Jahren war Karin Riegger im Verkauf der Familienunternehmung Weinkeller Riegger AG tätig, betreute ihre Gastronomie-Kunden in der ganzen Schweiz und bereiste die unterschiedlichsten Weingüter. Es schien logisch, dass sie die Nachfolge ihres Onkels als Geschäftsführerin antreten würde. Die innerfamiliäre Übergabe der Unternehmung kam jedoch nicht zustande – stattdessen wurde das Familienunternehmen an einen Grosskonzern verkauft. Diese Wendung führte zu einem beruflichen Neustart. Der Bewerbungsprozess mit Mitte 40 war für die Aargauerin anspruchsvoll, aber auch eine Gelegenheit zur persönlichen Weiterentwicklung. Heute ist Karin Riegger Bereichsleiterin Bildung bei Holzbau Schweiz und bringt ihre Erfahrungen und ihr Engagement in die Branche ein. Sie lebt mit ihrem Partner und ihren drei Kindern in Mellingen/AG. In den Ferien tauscht sie regelmässig das Wohnhaus mit anderen Familien – eine Form des Reisens, die ihr neue Perspektiven und Freundschaften eröffnet hat. Besonders prägend war ein halbes Jahr in Australien, wo sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Familie lebte und täglich zur Schule ging. _________________________________________ Moderation: Michèle Schönbächler Karin Riegger und Christoph Schoop sind zu Gast im Persönlich am Sonntag, 28. September 2025 im Kurtheater Baden/AG. Türöffnung ist um 9 Uhr. Das Publikum ist gebeten, bis 9.30 Uhr einzutreffen. ___________________________________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interesse, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

Collapse of Complex Societies By: Joseph A. Tainter Published: 1988 262 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A new (at the time) theory for the collapse of societies based on declining marginal returns to complexity. What's the author's angle? This is a book definitely written in opposition to previous theories (think Spengler, Toynbee, etc.) many of which Tainter rejects as overly moralistic. Who should read this book? If you're interested in how the United States will end (and I can't imagine how you're not) this is a great book. Specific thoughts: Okay so this is how collapse happens. Can it be stopped?

The hymn for our study this weekend was one of the first Lutheran hymns published during the Reformation in Germany. The author, Lazarus Spengler is not well known but was a contemporary of Martin Luther and a strong supporter and "co-worker" of Luther in the Reformation. He was condemned with Luther in Pope Leo X's letter of excommunication and was by Luther's side at the Diet of Worms in 1521. He was also deeply involved in the work of creating a Lutheran liturgy and hymns which were in German. This hymn beautifully describes the two major doctrines of the Bible, Law and Gospel or Sin and Grace. It is based primarily on Romans 5 which highlights the problem of the human condition, inherited from Adam, and God's solution to the problem of sin in Christ, the Second Adam. Spengler reminds us of the Biblical truth that "they have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one" (Romans 3:12) in the opening three verses and that "through one man's offense [Adam] judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation" (Romans 5:18). But Spengler also points us to God's solution and His work of service to mankind in accomplishing our salvation through Jesus. For "Christ, the second Adam, came to bear our sin and woe and shame" (verse 4). Jesus work was one of substitution: "So by one Man, who took our place, we all received the gift of grace" (verse 5). Certainly we thank Jesus for coming, not to "be served, but to serve" and to "give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). Lord, bring us to a deeper appreciation of our natural condition and its consequences, and of Your service to us in Your perfect life and death as our substitute! Amen!
The 15,000-year story of how grass seduced humanity into being its unwitting labor force--and the science behind it. Domesticated crops were not human creations, and agriculture was not simply invented. As Robert N. Spengler shows, domestication was the result of an evolutionary process in which people played a role only unwittingly and as actors in a numberless cast that spanned the plant and animal kingdoms. Nature's Greatest Success: How Plants Evolved to Exploit Humanity (Univ of California Press, 2025) is the first book to bring together recent scientific discoveries and fascinating ongoing research to provide a systematic account of not only how agriculture really developed but why. Through fifteen chapters, this book dives deep into the complex processes that drove domestication and the various roles that plants and animals, including humans, played in bringing about those changes. At the intersection of popular history, archaeology, and evolutionary biology, Nature's Greatest Success offers a revolutionary account of humanity not at the apex of nature but deeply embedded in the natural world and the evolutionary processes that continue to guide it even today.

A century ago, Oswald Spengler warned that Western civilization was entering its final phase—not from war or catastrophe, but from cultural exhaustion. In The Decline of the West, he argued that every great society passes through organic stages of growth and decay—and the West, he claimed, had already entered winter. In this episode of Context, we revisit Spengler's audacious and unsettling vision. We explore the patterns he identified—technocracy, Caesarism, the erosion of civic virtue—and ask whether Spengler's predictions still hold up. Are we watching a great civilization fade… or transform? Topics include: • Spengler's life, method, and seasonal model of civilization • Parallels between ancient Rome and the modern West • Technological achievement vs. cultural vitality • Why memory and myth matter for renewal • The possibility of rebirth—and what spring might require If you value this show, please take a moment to give it a five-star rating.

This episode is a supplement to a longer discussion we've had about Francis Parker YockeyHere we discuss the tradition within which Yockey writes, and how it differs from the Liberal tradition Democracy arises from. Make sure to tune into his livestream on Substack where he will discuss the Yockey biography we touch on at the end of this episode.Make sure to check my first Supplement episode on Yockey and the Enemy of Europe, and my essay “History Restarts,” both of which help illustrate Spengler's influence on Yockey.
In episode #291, we continue our trip through Europe with a visit from HC Davos Head Coach Josh Holden. Davos is of course the home of the Spengler Cup, a tournament that Holden and HC Davos won last season (his first with the team), the 16th in the club's history. After a playing career in North America that saw Holden drafted 12th overall in 1996 by the Vancouver Canucks and spend time with Carolina and Toronto, he would travel overseas and evetually settle in Zug, Switzerland. Zug would also be where he got his start in coaching, joining Dan Tangnes' staff the season following his retirement. During his five seasons as an Assistant Coach, the club would capture one Swiss Cup and back to back NLA Championships. Listen as he shares the difference between skills-skills and game-skills, the mentality of being "all in today," and what he learned from the infamous bench incident at the Spengler Cup.

Savage discusses the delicate state of Western Civilization, drawing on the predictions in Spengler's 1918 book "The Decline of the West."Savage argues that the West is no longer in the decline phase but is experiencing its death, with opposing forces represented by Donald Trump and his supporters of individualism, liberalism, and democracy, and those who despise these values. Spengler's book also touches upon the issue of Israel and Jews, with Savage highlighting the historical presence of Jews in Israel and their contributions contrasted with the lack of progress in neighboring Arab countries. Learn how the Democratic Party has transformed into a party of absolute dictatorship, with the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris and Alexandria Occasional-Cortex who desire statism and centralized power. He connects socialism to imperialism, arguing that it is not a compassionate or peaceful system, but rather one of willpower and imperialistic ambitions. He blasts Mitch McConnell for working on behalf of China's interests rather than representing Americans. He reflects on the rise of the military-industrial complex and its efforts in promoting war and conflict. Savage shares personal experiences of being denied jobs due to affirmative action policies and growing awareness of the country's transformation into a liberal dictatorship from his early days as a social worker. He warns that the establishment will continue to seize our rights. Will God save America from those who seek to take away our freedoms?
