Podcasts about Strauss

Barry Strauss, author of Jews vs. Rome, Part One: Strauss covers the First Jewish-Roman War, focusing on the defense and subsequent fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Relying heavily on the historian Josephus—who surrendered at Jotapataand prophesied Vespasian's rise to secure his own survival—Strauss examines the siege led by Vespasian's son, Titus. Despite Jerusalem's robust, thick fortifications, internal factional infighting among Jewish rebel leaders John, Simon, and Eleazar doomed the defense by destroying the city's critical grain supply. This culminated in the devastating destruction of the Second Temple and Jerusalem's absolute leveling. (1)

Barry Strauss, Part Two: Strauss examines subsequent Jewish rebellions across the Roman Empire, beginning with the coordinated Diaspora Revolt during Trajan's Parthian campaign. The revolt severely disrupted Rome but led to the destruction of Alexandria's large Jewish community. To assert dominance, Emperor Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem as the pagan city Aelia Capitolina, banning the Jewish temple. This provoked the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–136 AD) under Simon bar Kokhba. Using asymmetrical guerrilla warfare and tunnels, the rebels fought bitterly before their defeat at Betar. Strauss concludes with the 4th-century Gallus Revolt and 7th-century Sasanian campaign. (3)

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 89 from Feburary 2017 featuring Justin Plummer III and Martin Strauss who are two San Francisco Bay Area directors who get paid to direct full time. They talk with us about how they got started and what it's like to sign with a big time LA commercial production company, and why they weren't living in LA at the time. I thought this was a good match for our chat with Michael Naizu and John Wilcox from Monday because they are both brother co-directors who are collaborating in a very different way..

The 2027 Physician Fee Schedule signals a continued restructuring of clinician payment-redistributing funds towards primary care and behavioral health while providing signals for what's coming next.OTs and PTs can no longer sit on the sidelines. As straightforward, low-complexity care increasingly moves toward digital pathways and as patients increasingly access care through digital front doors, we must advocate that CMS properly values the high-value cognitive work and in-person, complex clinical reasoning and officially integrates therapy as the missing third pillar of the primary care team. This year's proposed rule is a critical opportunity to provide CMS solutions that can be met by OTs and PTs and advocate for key coding updates: reimbursing existing evaluation codes by complexity level and creating new non-time-based management codes to capture longitudinal care provided by occupational and physical therapists.At OT Potential, we're equipping YOU to raise your voice. In this live webinar and course, we'll spend an hour unpacking the proposed rule, detailing our policy asks, and sharing a simple, plug-and-play comment template so you can submit your own letter to CMS. We'll be led by the incredible Dana Strauss, a doctor of physical therapy and healthcare public policy expert.See full course details here:https://otpotential.com/continuing-education/course/medicare-advocacy-for-2027 See all OT CEU courses here:https://otpotential.com/continuing-educationCheck our our live webinar schedule here:https://otpotential.com/continuing-education/live-webinarsSupport the show by using the OTPOTENTIAL Medbridge Code:https://otpotential.com/blog/promo-code-for-medbridgeTry 2 free OT Potential courses here:https://otpotential.com/free-ot-ceusSupport the show

Episode 364 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a can't-miss interview with Swedish pro and former U.S. Olympian Strauss Mann.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Mann, a former University of Michigan standout, takes us through the ups and downs of his first four years of pro hockey since the Olympics. From struggling with situations beyond his control that limited opportunities in North America, to rediscovering his passion for the game in Europe and setting top Swedish League shutout records and winning a championship last season, the lessons Mann shares from his journey really are can't-miss for goalies, coaches and parents. They include a strong focus on meditation, and advice on how to make it a valuable tool, which in part led to a new venture off the ice called Haus (buildyourhaus.com) that offers mentorship and coaching circles as well as 1-on-1 work, not just for goalies but for their parents too, as well as a team-focused five-part speaker series this season of virtual and asynchronous workshops from world-class coaches in performance and personal development.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch shares key lessons and takeaways from the parent perspective from InGoal's trip to the 2026 USA Hockey Goaltending Symposium in Boston.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie breaking down the keys to knowing when to attack and when to sit back on an open look off the rush.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Warrior Alpha Surge S50, a lower price point version of the all new Surge pad with lots of the same features and a slightly softer flex profile.

Strauss het eksklusief met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesels.

¿Y si la crisis ecológica actual tuviera que ver con nuestra relación con la naturaleza? Es lo que afirma el antropólogo francés Philippe Descola, conocido por haber trabajado varios años en la Amazonía ecuatoriana. En conversación exclusiva con RFI, Descola estima que la crisis ambiental resulta en gran parte de la visión occidental de la naturaleza. ¿Cómo habitar la tierra de forma más armoniosa? ¿Debe el mundo occidental reconectarse con la naturaleza para acabar con la crisis ecológica y climática y ambiental? A estas preguntas apremiantes en tiempos de cambio climático y de crisis de la biodiversidad, el antropólogo de la naturaleza, filósofo y profesor emérito del Collège de France, el Colegio de Francia, Philippe Descola (París, 1949), propone varias respuestas inspiradoras para la ecología política. En entrevista exclusiva con Radio Francia Internacional, el filósofo abordó también las resistencias ecologistas actuales, sus años de vida con el pueblo achuar en Ecuador así como la dominación masculina en numerosas sociedades. RFI: Su libro ‘Más allá de naturaleza y cultura', en el que usted teoriza y compara las diferentes formas que tienen los seres humanos de relacionarse con el medioambiente y los seres vivos, es una referencia. Últimamente ha publicado dos libros de entrevistas en los que afirma que para resolver la crisis ecológica Occidente tendría que alejarse de esta visión que usted llama ‘naturalista' que plantea que los seres humanos somos superiores o distintos de lo vivo. ¿Es esta visión binaria entre, por una parte, los humanos y, por otra parte, los no humanos, responsable de la triple crisis ecológica que vivimos actualmente, el cambio climático, la contaminación y la pérdida de biodiversidad? Philippe Descola: En gran parte, sí. Mi proposición es que desde el siglo XVII, cuando se estableció la odontología que llamo naturalista, es decir, esa idea de que los humanos son excepcionales entre los elementos del mundo porque tienen facultades cognitivas y morales especiales, esta idea vino enfatizándose a lo largo de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Entonces, ¿qué pasó? Los no humanos se convirtieron en cosas que podían ser el objeto de una mercantilización. Entonces, fue eso una condición que, creo, fue fundamental para la emergencia del capitalismo industrial en el siglo XIX. Y entonces no se puede separar la ontología naturalista de este movimiento que llevó a considerar ríos, animales y plantas como cosas para explotar y no como interlocutores. Escuche el audio completo de la entrevista: RFI: Su último libro se titula ‘Nous sommes les hôtes de la Terre'*. En francés, la palabra ‘hôtes', tiene dos sentidos, puede significar ‘huéspedes' o ‘anfitriones'. ¿Los seres humanos, los huéspedes de la tierra o los anfitriones de la Tierra? Philippe Descola: La palabra se refiere a la palabra “huésped”. Esta proposición sale de mi discusión de todos esos procesos recientes en los cuales medios de vida han sido convertidos en sujetos políticos a través de la atribución de una personalidad jurídica. Estamos como humanos acogidos en este medio de vida y somos huéspedes. Entonces es una buena manera de concebir que no somos los dueños y poseedores de la naturaleza según la famosa fórmula de Descartes, sino que somos huéspedes, es decir, que es nuestra pertenencia medio de vida que fundamenta nuestra existencia social y no el hecho de apropiarse este mundo. RFI: Efectivamente es una pequeña revolución jurídica que se está viviendo en muchos países, desde Nueva Zelanda, pasando por Colombia, Ecuador e incluso en Francia o España donde ríos o lagunas están recibiendo una personalidad jurídica. Se les otorga derechos jurídicos para defenderlos mejor. ¿Cómo analiza usted esta evolución en el mundo occidental? Philippe Descola: En Nueva Zelanda, en Colombia, con el río Atrato, por ejemplo, el medio de vida llega a ser dueño de sí mismo, llega a ser un sujeto político. Un sujeto político obviamente representado por humanos, porque el río Atrato no habla por sí mismo, sino a través de los portavoces que se escogen para representarlo. La otra posibilidad es el ejemplo que nos dan las comunidades indígenas en todo el mundo y en particular en esa parte del mundo que conozco un poco mejor, que es América Latina, donde estas comunidades, enfrentadas a la voracidad del capitalismo y en particular del capitalismo extractivista, idean nuevas formas de relacionarse en relación a un territorio que están basadas en parte en la concepción tradicional del territorio, no como un pedazo de tierra de uso exclusivo, sino como un lugar en donde se mezclan diferentes formas de apropiación de humanos y no humanos. Quiero enfatizar en este caso, que hay una diferencia entre reconocer una personalidad jurídica a un medio de vida y reconocer derechos a la naturaleza, como lo hicieron Ecuador y también Bolivia. Reconocer derechos a la naturaleza es reconocer derechos a una abstracción, porque la naturaleza, aun si se la llama Pachamama, es una abstracción, mientras que reconocer derechos a un medio de vida es reconocer derechos a un medio biofísico con sus habitantes, que es más fácil de delimitar y de definir con precisión. Y entonces lo que he podido constatar es que, tanto en Bolivia como en Ecuador, que conozco bastante bien por haber vivido varios años allá, este reconocimiento no ha tenido consecuencias mayores en términos de protección del medioambiente. No ha habido cambios fundamentales para las poblaciones indígenas en relación con el capitalismo extractivista.  RFI: Usted ha trabajado en Latinoamérica, y también se ha acercado a las resistencias políticas que ocurren en Europa, como en Francia, donde ha apoyado las “zonas a defender”, las “ZAD”, unos movimientos locales muy fuertes que han surgido contra megaproyectos de desarrollo como aeropuertos, autopistas o megaembalses. ¿Por qué representan estas resistencias, según usted, una posible respuesta a la crisis ecológica? Philippe Descola:  Me parecieron muy interesantes porque si uno compara esos procesos con lo que sucede con las poblaciones indígenas, los militantes de esas zonas a defender, de estos territorios alternativos, no fueron educados en comunidades indígenas. Entonces todas esas ideas de relación estrecha, íntima, armoniosa, con el medio ambiente, no las recibieron así a través de la educación, sino que inventaron formas específicas de relacionarse con un territorio, primero para defenderlo contra megaproyectos destructivos y después para habitar este territorio en una forma no destructiva y a través de una profunda identificación con los no humanos del territorio. Todos esos jóvenes y menos jóvenes han descubierto por sí mismos formas distintas de habitar un territorio en donde rechazan la propiedad privada, rechazan la explotación, la destrucción del medio ambiente y han desarrollado formas de trabajo en común, de producción no mercantil, de democracia participativa intensa. Y me parece que es una forma de ejemplaridad y una buena noticia para el futuro. RFI: También fue discípulo de Claude Lévi-Strauss. Y ha dicho en varias ocasiones que ha quedado impactado por sus años de trabajo etnográfico en Suramérica. Vivió tres años con el pueblo achuar en la Amazonía ecuatoriana. ¿Por qué esta experiencia fue un punto de inflexión en su trabajo de antropólogo, en su filosofía? Philippe Descola: Visité a los achuar para estudiar la forma en que ellos “socializan con la naturaleza”, así lo formulaba. Me di cuenta cuando empecé a entender y hablar un poco el idioma achuar, que este concepto de “naturaleza” no tenía ninguna vigencia para los achuar. Ellos concebían a las plantas, a los animales, a los espíritus como socios, como personas no humanas, como socios con los cuales se podía interactuar cotidianamente a través de plegarias mágicas que dirigían al alma de esos interlocutores, a través de las relaciones en los sueños y las visitas de los no humanos. Dándome cuenta de eso, cuando regresé para doctorado y me fijé de cierto modo un programa intelectual para toda mi carrera, que era entender las distintas formas en las cuales los humanos conciben continuidades y discontinuidades entre humanos y no humanos. Me di cuenta de que este modelo de la relación entre naturaleza y cultura era una cosa propiamente occidental. Con mucha ingenuidad, pensaba que era una cosa universal, porque yo me formé como filósofo y fui alumno de Claude Lévi-Strauss para quien la distinción entre naturaleza y cultura desempeña un papel importante. Cuando me di cuenta de que no era una cosa universal, empecé a estudiar - no directamente sino a través de la antropología comparativa -, todas las otras formas posibles que existen de interactuar entre humanos y no humanos que no sean a través de este modelo supuestamente universal que es la relación entre naturaleza y cultura. RFI: Usted cuenta que, después de su larga estancia en territorio achuar, a su regreso a Francia, se dio cuenta de la “violencia” del mundo occidental. ¿Cómo esta experiencia en Ecuador modificó su visión de nuestra sociedad occidental de consumo? Philippe Descola: Antes de viajar a Ecuador, había tenido una trayectoria de militante y entonces había leído a Marx, había leído a Lenin, había leído a Trotsky y yo sabía las cosas básicas de lo que es la explotación capitalista. Pero como persona nunca me encontré en una posición de ser explotado, de dominado. Venía de una familia de la burguesía parisina y nunca sufrí en mi persona, digamos, de la explotación capitalista directa. Después viví tres años con los Ashuar, con gente que no tenía trabajo asalariado ni moneda. En un mundo en el cual no había diferencias de estatuto económico político y después de haberme de cierto modo acostumbrado a esta forma de vivir, regresé a Francia y vi inmediatamente todo lo que había leído. Lo que Marx llama el fetichismo de la mercancía, es decir, el hecho de que de cierto modo los humanos se convierten en mercancías a través de sus interacciones e intercambios de mercancías. Y esto me cogió de una forma brutal, porque yo miraba a mi propia sociedad con los ojos de los Achuar, por haber compartido su vida. Su vida me parecía normal. No era una cosa para estudiar, sino una forma de vivir que yo había compartido. Y desde este momento, esta experiencia me enseñó una especie de revuelta que todavía no está pagada. RFI: Usted, que ha tenido el privilegio de poder estudiar y viajar en numerosas comunidades humanas en varios continentes, ha observado que, aunque varía la relación con la naturaleza, hay un elemento constante en las sociedades que ha podido observar: el patriarcado, la dominación masculina. ¿Cómo es posible esto? Philippe Descola : Hay varias explicaciones de la dominación masculina. No voy a entrar en los detalles de la teoría de la dominación masculina. Lo que comparto es la perspectiva de una antropóloga que fue muy importante en Francia, Françoise Héritier, y que desarrolló toda una serie de trabajos sobre esa temática. La dominación masculina es universal, pero no es ineluctable. Hay formas de combatirlo y obviamente eso es lo que se ha tratado de hacer a través de un centenar de años, digamos de movimientos feministas. La dominación masculina, entre los achuar se notaba a través del hecho de que los hombres eran los que manejaban la política exterior, es decir, todas las relaciones con el exterior de la casa, porque era una sociedad que no tenía una jerarquía política interna. No existían jefes. Cada dueño de casa era su propio dueño político, diríamos. Eso no significaba que las mujeres no tuvieran una gran capacidad de actuación dentro de la casa. Pero esa división, digamos, o por lo menos esa dominación de los hombres sobre ciertos sectores de la vida pública era obvia. Y eso es una cosa común. No podemos saber exactamente cómo era en el Paleolítico europeo, que ha sido muy estudiado tanto a través de la arqueología como en las imágenes en las cuevas. Pero se supone que existía también este tipo de dominación. Insisto: la dominación masculina existe, pero hay maneras de luchar contra eso. Y podemos tal vez vislumbrar un tiempo, el de mis nietas, por ejemplo, en el cual habrá, si no completamente desaparecido, en gran parte eliminado ese problema de la dominación masculina. RFI: En varios países del mundo, dirigentes neoconservadores, climatoescépticos que defienden el extractivismo y las energías fósiles han llegado al poder. En Estados Unidos, en Colombia, en Argentina, por ejemplo. Europa vive un retroceso en materia de normas de protección ambientales. A pesar de ello, usted se dice optimista. ¿Por qué? Philippe Descola: A mí me gusta la fórmula clásica de Gramsci: “El optimismo de la voluntad y el pesimismo de la lucidez”. Soy optimista en el sentido de que la violencia de este “backlash” (ndr: retroceso) me parece una reacción a la toma de conciencia por parte de los representantes, los más obscurantistas digamos, del capitalismo, de que hay una lucha y que esa lucha tal vez la están perdiendo. Por eso esa reacción que parece excesiva en muchos aspectos. Es una señal de que posiblemente las cosas están cambiando porque el enemigo despliega toda su fuerza para contrarrestar un movimiento que posiblemente sabe que no se va a parar. *'Nous sommes les hôtes de la Terre', Editions Arthaud, abril de 2026, 160 p.

In this episode of the New Books Network, we talk with Jeremy Tiang about his English translation of The Formosa Exchange (Honford Star, 2026)—which will be released on September 18, 2026 (but is available for preorder).Tiang is a novelist, playwright, and translator based in New York. He has translated more than thirty books from Chinese to English—including Zou Jingzhi's Ninth Building, longlisted for the 2023 International Booker Prize—and has served as a judge for the National Book Award for translated literature. Beyond translation, his novel State of Emergency won the Singapore Literature Prize in 2018, and his play Salesman之死 won a Obie Award for Outstanding New Play in 2023. Originally published in Mandarin in 2021 as 新寶島 and winner of that year's Taiwan Literature Award, The Formosa Exchange is a work of speculative fiction by Taiwanese novelist Huang Chongkai (黃崇凱). The novel kicks off with a fantastical occurrence: one night, the entire populations of Taiwan and Cuba swap places, with Taiwanese people ending up on the island of Cuba and Cuban people on the island of Taiwan. This “Great Exchange” becomes a lens for examining national identity, indigeneity, and colonialism, especially with reference to Taiwan's and Cuba's shared position in the shadow of their much larger neighbors of China and the United States. Scholars and learners across history, political science, anthropology, literature, and beyond will find much food for thought in The Formosa Exchange. The novel is dense with allusions—it nods to Western thinkers like John Mearsheimer and Claude Lévi-Strauss, while also weaving in references to Taiwanese and Cuban literature, art, and film. Anthony Kao is a writer who intersects international affairs and cultural criticism. He founded/edits Cinema Escapist—a publication exploring the sociopolitical context behind global film and television—and also writes for outlets like The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Diplomat, and Eater.

Cosmic LOVE Newsletter of the Week with Metaphysician Christopher Rudy The Lion's Gate: From Global Crisis to Conscious Metamorphosis Christopher Rudy explores the 8-8 Lion's Gate, the Fourth Turning, Authentic Intelligence, institutional power, the White Hat Alliance, and humanity's passage through what he describes as a profound transformation of consciousness and civilization. You can find the Newsletters archived below: July 26, 2026, The Banksters Are Busted! So What? Now What? https://www.heartcom.org/BankstersBusted.htm July 29, 2026, Full Moon Overview of Global Crisis & Opportunity: Revelations Unbound! https://www.heartcom.org/JulyOverview.htm July 31, 2026, White Hats and The Alliance - Perception Empowerment Process https://www.heartcom.org/Harmony.htm August 4, 2026, Deep Shift Dynamics Transforming Everything - The Fourth Turning https://www.heartcom.org/FourthTurning.htm August 8, 2026, LION'S GATE ZEITGEIST NOW https://www.heartcom.org/2026LionsGate.htm Host Spotlight Christopher Rudy opens this edition of Cosmic LOVE by returning to the program's defining theme of love as an organizing spiritual frequency. He explains that the episode draws from five newsletters published between July 26 and August 8, covering international finance, global crisis and opportunity, the White Hat Alliance, the Fourth Turning, and the 8-8 Lion's Gate. Rather than treating these subjects separately, Rudy presents them as different views of a single transition in which entrenched systems are being exposed while new possibilities for self-government, technology, communication, and collective consciousness emerge. He describes his newsletters as multimedia collections of articles, videos, memes, satire, graphics, and spiritual commentary intended to encourage listeners to examine difficult material without losing hope or perspective. The show repeatedly returns to a central contrast between what Rudy calls fear-driven systems of control and a higher model based on conscience, sovereignty, cooperation, and Cosmic LOVE. Five Newsletters Inside One Larger Story Rudy begins by mapping the five newsletters that frame the broadcast. The Banksters Are Busted! addresses what he regards as entrenched financial interests and international banking structures that exercise disproportionate control over governments, resources, war, and economic policy. His July overview then broadens the lens to what he calls an unprecedented convergence of global crisis and opportunity, while the July 31 White Hats – The Alliance newsletter introduces his concept of an emerging coalition organized less around labels than around shared moral frequency and purpose. The August 4 Fourth Turning article places those developments inside a larger theory of generational crisis and civilizational metamorphosis, and the August 8 Lion's Gate newsletter provides the metaphysical framework tying the episode together. Rudy explicitly says that all five publications appeared during what he considers the energetic Lion's Gate window from July 26 through August 12. In his telling, the apparent chaos of politics, finance, media, technology, and culture is therefore not random but part of a purification process through which previously hidden problems are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The Banksters Busted article strengthens this point by contrasting what Rudy sees as concentrated financial power with an alternative based on sovereign rights, ethical communication, and what he calls a systemic TLC Reset. Its later pages propose building systems that are more difficult to corrupt, moving people and representatives into those systems, and eventually using them to reform existing institutions. Cosmic Fire and the 8-8 Lion's Gate Much of the episode is devoted to Rudy's interpretation of the Lion's Gate as a period of unusually concentrated spiritual and psychological intensity. He describes the annual portal as extending from late July into mid-August, with August 8 representing its energetic high point, and connects it with Leo, Sirius, Orion, the pyramids of Giza, and a broader pattern of celestial geometry. Rudy interprets these alignments metaphysically rather than merely astronomically, suggesting they correspond with increased intuition, synchronicity, heightened awareness, sudden endings, new beginnings, spiritual insight, and greater receptivity to what he calls “light codes.” The Lion's Gate article similarly describes the period as a time for setting intentions with “great vision, virtue and valor” and portrays the alignment as a symbolic meeting of physical and etheric realities. Rudy's larger point is about using the Lion's Gate as what he calls a “metaphysical meme” and "exquisite metaphor” for coalescing cosmic energies and for concentrated transformation. The number eight becomes another part of that symbolism: vertically, it represents “as above, so below,” while horizontally it becomes the infinity symbol and a representation of complementary polarities such as masculine and feminine, logical and intuitive, left brain and right brain. The article develops this symbolism into a practical call for intention, attention, heart coherence, and what Rudy describes as full-spectrum comprehension. The Fourth Turning and Humanity in the Cocoon The caterpillar-to-butterfly metaphor provides one of the strongest organizing images in the broadcast. Rudy says global civilization is presently inside the “cocoon,” where old institutions and identities are breaking apart but the civilization that may eventually replace them has not yet fully formed. He associates caterpillar consciousness with a 3D worldview and butterfly consciousness with a 5D state of greater unity, while the transitional cocoon represents a four-stage 4D process: dissolution of the caterpillar, identity crisis, formation of the butterfly, and eventual emergence. During the broadcast he places humanity specifically in the identity-crisis stage, comparing global civilization to an adolescent that is no longer a child but has not yet matured into an adult. The Fourth Turning article gives this metaphor additional structure. It describes the present era as moving from “Unraveling” toward “Crisis,” connects that pattern with Strauss and Howe's generational theory, and portrays current institutional instability as the disintegration stage preceding reconstruction. Rudy then adds his own metaphysical model, arguing that AI, quantum change, communications technology, and “heartware” could help provide the cultural DNA of a more conscious civilization. The article therefore transforms the familiar Fourth Turning idea from a theory of recurring social crisis into Rudy's larger spiritual narrative of 3D disintegration, 4D transition, and eventual 5D “Unified Field Conscience.” Power, Media, Banking and the “Great Delusion” Rudy places some of the episode's heaviest political and institutional material inside his purification metaphor. Just as impurities rise to the surface when metal is heated, he argues that corruption in finance, government, media, medicine, technology, and geopolitics is becoming increasingly visible during the present period. He discusses international banking interests, media consolidation, pharmaceutical influence, surveillance technologies, political Zionism, U.S.–Israel relations, congressional corruption, vaccine controversies, and concentrated corporate ownership. These are frequently framed in highly charged terms, and many of the individual allegations come from outside articles and videos curated within Rudy's newsletters rather than independently established findings. The Banksters Busted newsletter connects this institutional critique to Rudy's opposition to systems that profit from war and scarcity, while the July Overview extends the argument to centralized AI, mass media, government, and what Rudy calls “closed, centralized systems.” The July article contrasts those systems with open, decentralized communications and insists that Authentic Intelligence should harness AI rather than allow technology to become another mechanism of concentrated power. Despite the severity of his critique, Rudy repeatedly warns against becoming trapped in fear. His recurring “slag and gold” metaphor is important: exposing corruption is valuable only if awareness leads toward a constructive alternative rather than permanent anger, despair, or what he calls “stuck in negativity.” The White Hat Alliance and Harmony From the Inside Out The constructive alternative emerges most clearly through Rudy's discussion of the “White Hat Alliance.” In the associated newsletter, the alliance is not presented simply as a conventional organization or political faction. Instead, the article says it is “about frequency,” describing alignment as resonating with the same underlying harmonic rather than agreeing on every issue. Its central movement is from the inside outward: light within the individual becomes beauty, beauty becomes harmony, harmony becomes order, and order becomes peace. That article introduces Rudy's Perception Empowerment Process, or PEP, as a self-mastery framework for integrating body, mind, and spirit while becoming more conscious of how perception shapes individual and collective behavior. The later pages connect this approach with David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness and describe the “White Hat Alliance” as enlightened global netizens attempting to bring Authentic Intelligence to AI, social networking, and what Rudy calls a Global TLC Reset. This material gives additional meaning to Rudy's frequent instruction to remain like the still center of a hurricane rather than becoming psychologically absorbed in the surrounding turmoil. In his worldview, social transformation begins with perceptual and emotional self-government. The alliance therefore represents not simply opposition to a perceived “dark side,” but a proposed cultural shift from coercion and fear toward conscience, cooperation, self-mastery, and heart coherence. Authentic Intelligence, Heartware and the Civilization Beyond the Crisis The episode ultimately moves from diagnosis toward Rudy's vision of what might replace failing systems. He repeatedly distinguishes Authentic Intelligence from artificial intelligence, arguing that AI reflects the worldview and values of those who design, own, prompt, and control it. AI, like money or other technologies, is therefore neither automatically liberating nor inherently destructive; its consequences depend upon the human intentions and ethical structures directing it. Rudy believes the next stage of the digital revolution should move beyond hardware, software, and networking toward heartware—communications systems informed by conscience, sovereign rights, cyberethics, and a universal interface capable of promoting unity without erasing diversity. The five articles reinforce that same trajectory from several directions. July Overview speaks of open decentralized systems and an “InnerNet” capable of cultivating social conscience. The Fourth Turning describes heartware as providing cultural DNA for a civilization emerging from its cocoon. The Lion's Gate article envisions global communications, AI-assisted translation, telecare, telecommerce, and cyberethical standards operating through a wider TLC Reset. And the White Hat article frames the same transition as a movement toward collective coherence and more conscious use of AI. Rudy closes by locating the listener inside that transition rather than outside it. Humanity, in his metaphor, has not yet become the butterfly; it is still experiencing the instability of the cocoon. Yet he sees the current identity crisis as preparation for a civilization organized around what he calls the United Sovereigns of Earth, first principles, the Golden Rule of sovereign rights, and a global culture capable of joining technological intelligence with human conscience. His final message is therefore one of participation: keep faith, see the good, consciously choose what to amplify, and become part of the change one hopes will emerge from the present upheaval.

John Batchelor introduces Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium, to discuss the transition from the death of Julius Caesar to the rise of Augustus. Strauss identifies Plutarch and Cassius Dio as the primary historical sources, noting they had access to earlier, now-lost records. The discussion focuses on three main figures: Mark Antony, Octavian, and Cleopatra. At Caesar's death, Mark Antony was a consul and Caesar's lieutenant, hailing from the high Roman nobility. In contrast, Octavian (later Augustus) came from an equestrian family but gained status as Caesar's great-nephew and adopted heir. While Antony was a seasoned warrior, Octavian focused on political acumen. The Second Triumvirate, consisting of Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus, was formed to punish Caesar's assassins, leading to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, where Antony emerged as the hero while Octavian struggled. (1)

Barry Strauss introduces Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt and member of the Ptolemaic dynasty founded by one of Alexander the Great's generals. Strauss describes Alexandria as the Mediterranean's greatest metropolis and a wealthy cultural hub. Cleopatra is depicted as a "tough player" who survived deadly family intrigues to rule Egypt. When she meets Antony in 41 BC at Tarsus, she dazzles him with a spectacular, perfumed arrival on a barge. Antony views Cleopatra not just as a lover, but as a vital financial resource for his Eastern ambitions. A key point of contention is Caesarion, Cleopatra's son, whom many believed was the child of Julius Caesar. Octavian's later propaganda painted the East as "effeminate" compared to Roman manliness. To demonstrate her immense wealth, Cleopatra famously dissolved a priceless pearl in vinegar during an extravagant dinner. (2)

Barry Strauss traces the fracturing of the Second Triumvirate as Octavian utilizes his sister, Octavia, who marries Antony to seal a peace treaty in 40 BC. While depicted as a devoted housewife, Strauss suggests she remained loyal to Octavian, potentially providing intelligence. In Rome, Octavian builds power by marrying into the high nobility and cultivating talent, specifically his "secret weapon," Marcus Agrippa. Agrippa, a brilliant military strategist, builds a new navy to defeat Sextus Pompey, a naval threat based in Sicily. Meanwhile, Antony's reputation suffers after a failed campaign against the Parthian Empire, resulting in the loss of 25% of his army. By 33 BC, the triumvirate expires, and Octavian launches an information war. He portrays Antony as an "unmanned" traitor enslaved by Cleopatra, mocking his adoption of Eastern luxuries like mosquito nets. (3)

Barry Strauss examines Mark Antony's critical "unforced error" of 33 BC: divorcing Octavia, Octavian's sister. This move provides Octavian with a massive propaganda victory, allowing him to frame Antony as having betrayed Rome for an Egyptian queen. Strauss explains the divorce was a "credible commitment" by Antony to show his Eastern supporters he was fully committed to the coming conflict. Despite advice from his experienced admiral, Ahenobarbus, to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony refuses because she controls the treasury and the Egyptian navy. While Antony may have preferred a campaign against Parthia, Octavian forces his hand by declaring war. Antony's decision to bring Cleopatra into the war effort is anathema to Romans, who view her as a foreign invader. This sets the stage for confrontation, with Octavian relying on the tactical genius of Marcus Agrippa. (4)

Barry Strauss shifts the conflict to the western coast of Greece, where Antony and Cleopatra's massive fleet waits at Actium. Strauss emphasizes that while tactics are for amateurs, logistics are for professionals. Marcus Agrippa executes a brilliant logistical strike by capturing Methone, a vital supply base on the southwestern coast of Greece. This amphibious landing, conducted under the cover of a quarter moon, cuts Antony's essential supply line from Egypt. Antony, stationed further north at Patrae, fails to react effectively to this "one-two punch." While Agrippa disrupts the rear, Octavian moves his fleet north of Actium, effectively trapping Antony's forces. Strauss notes the strangeness of Antony's decision to wait for the enemy rather than invading Italy, suggesting he may have lost his nerve or been constrained by the propaganda risk Cleopatra posed. (5)

Barry Strauss narrates the naval Battle of Actium, which begins on September 2, 31 BC. Antony and Cleopatracommand approximately 230 ships against Octavian and Agrippa's fleet of nearly 400. Facing starvation due to Agrippa's blockade, Antony and Cleopatra decide on a breakout battle to escape by sea with their treasury. During the battle, Cleopatra's flagship, flying a purple sail, breaks through a gap in the Roman line. Antony follows her in a smaller ship, abandoning his fleet and army in a move that Strauss describes as a devastating blow to his Roman honor. Despite their leaders' flight, Antony's men continue to fight until Octavian uses fire arrows to destroy their remaining ships. The lovers escape south toward Alexandria, but Antony is left in a state of deep melancholy after deserting his troops. (6)

“Theory said, it doesn't matter what you've read. It's how you read.” — Emily Eakin on the seduction of the FrenchmenWhen I was a graduate student at Berkeley in the Eighties, there was a bewildering rage for Frenchmen. Foucault in history, Derrida in literature, Althusser in political philosophy, Lacan in psychology. Not that anybody could quite explain what any of them meant — which only made their ideas even more compelling. It was the seduction of the American mind, especially its elite campus version. Innocent times with forty years of hindsight.Emily Eakin caught this Eighties fever for French theory at Harvard. Now an editor at the New York Times Book Review, Eakin has written The Frenchmen, or My Life in Theory, which is both a confessional of her own seduction and a serious piece of intellectual history.A self-described farm girl from Indiana — albeit one whose Francophile parents once left her waiting at a Paris nursery school because a Lévi-Strauss lecture went overtime — she fell for theory as the intellectual equivalent of a little black dress. It looked expensive, even off the rack, she confesses. For a middle-class Midwesterner, it seemed like a passport to Left-Bank sophistication. All you needed was the jargon, the black clothes and, in Eakin's case, the opera gloves.But her Frenchmen, Eakin warns, turned out to be a slippery bunch. Lacan was so difficult that professors cancelled their own classes rather than teach him. Althusser murdered his wife. Foucault's histories were as much fiction as fact. Not even Derrida took Derrida seriously. These were the men undoing the “master narratives” while an enthralled generation of cross-legged young feminists in their little black dresses took notes.And yet Eakin's Frenchmen may have the last laugh. Their theory of language — an impersonal system requiring no human at its center — presciently describes today's AI revolution. Foucault predicted that “man” would be erased like a face drawn in sand on the beach. Forty years on, that tide may be engulfing us all.Five Takeaways•       The Little Black Dress of the Mind. Eakin grew up in a family of Francophiles — one of her earliest memories is her mother arriving late to the Paris maternelle because Claude Lévi-Strauss's lecture had run over — and arrived at Harvard as a middle-class kid from a middling Midwestern high school, painfully aware of the gaps in her education. Theory offered the shortcut: it didn't matter what you'd read, only how you read. The cliché about the little black dress is that it looks expensive even bought on sale off the rack at Macy's, and theory, Eakin says, was its intellectual equivalent. It was also, frankly, sexy — young professors in jeans lecturing on the masturbation of the comma in Henry James, as Lorrie Moore's barely-parodic parody had it, and students dressed in black. Eakin went as far as the opera gloves.•       System Replaces the Self. After the war, Sartre's existentialism made every accurate thought an authentic act of resistance — a heroic message for a France humiliated by four years of Nazi occupation. But the postwar world was not being changed by individual actors, and Lévi-Strauss dismissed the whole business in Tristes Tropiques as “shop girl metaphysics.” Around the time the Berlin Wall went up, Althusser routed Sartre at the École Normale, and a new philosophy took hold, obsessed with vast impersonal forces: not humans controlling events but a structure — with language at its center. The moment that fascinated Eakin is that sixties moment when system replaced the self.•       Difficult by Design — and Easy to Distort. A colleague of Eakin's at the Times was once assigned Lacan's lecture on The Purloined Letter; a few minutes into class, the professor cancelled it, admitting he didn't understand the text he had assigned. That is the level of difficulty in question. Underedited and self-indulgent, Eakin the editor concedes — but each Frenchman left behind one bold idea worth the struggle, like Lacan's mirror stage, in which identity is formed outside ourselves in an act of misrecognition. The difficulty carried a price: it made the work easy to parody, and conservative pundits handed the public a distorted picture. The Frenchmen never said truth doesn't exist, Eakin insists. Their message was to beware political claims masquerading as eternal truths.•       Slippery Politics, Awkward Pasts. Foucault, insecure about his thinning hair, shaved his head, ditched the suits, and by 1970 was in the streets with a megaphone defending prisoners, immigrants, and workers — and he was in San Francisco at the start of the AIDS catastrophe, which is reason to take his politics seriously. Derrida was temperamentally otherwise: nothing follows from deconstruction, as Stanley Fish put it, and the moment of silence his classmates held for Stalin at the École Normale was a bit much for him. The posthumous exposure of de Man's collaborationist journalism hastened theory's American demise. And there was the paradox Eakin only saw while writing the book: men undoing the master narratives, and a generation of feminists — herself included — enthralled to them. De Beauvoir was the indomitable exception, awarded second place in the agrégation by jurors who could barely decide between her and Sartre.•       The Frenchmen's Revenge: AI. When the chatbots got good, American linguistics went into a tailspin: Chomsky's account of language as a uniquely human, embodied endowment cannot explain a machine producing sophisticated sentences. The structuralists' theory — language as an impersonal system in which meaning derives from how words differ from one another — describes generative AI rather well, and scholars such as NYU's Leif Weatherby are now calling for a structuralist revival to understand it. De Man called language a machine; Foucault wrote of the proliferation of authorless discourse; Eakin's recent New York Times essay argues Foucault foresaw everything from AI to the deep state. The Frenchmen, she thinks, would be fascinated rather than appalled — and would remind us to be just as wary of AI's language as of anyone else's.About the GuestEmily Eakin is an editor at The New York Times Book Review.

Emmy-winning showrunner John Strauss (Arcane, Mozart in the Jungle) on how TV writers get hired, survive notes, and pitch. Watch the full interview.

De Richard Wagner qu'il vénérait, Adolf Hitler aura retenu l'antisémitisme viscéral et la musique ensorcelante dont il nourrira son idéologie mortifère.Au cœur de l'Autriche du début du 20e siècle, le jeune Adolf Hitler, âgé de 16 ans, assiste à une représentation de l'opéra Rienzi de Richard Wagner à l'Opéra de Linz. Cette soirée sera un véritable tournant dans la vie du futur Führer, marquant le début d'une passion dévorante pour la musique et l'œuvre du compositeur allemand.Franck Ferrand nous plonge dans ce moment charnière de l'histoire, alors que le jeune Hitler est saisi par la puissance de la musique de Wagner et la dimension mythologique de son opéra. Fasciné par le personnage de Rienzi, le tribun du peuple, Hitler y voit le reflet de ses propres ambitions et d'une mission qu'il s'est donnée : relever l'Allemagne et la conduire vers une grandeur nouvelle. Au-delà de cette révélation musicale, l'émission explore les liens complexes entre Hitler et la musique, et notamment son admiration pour d'autres compositeurs comme Beethoven, Bruckner ou Strauss. Mais elle montre aussi comment le dictateur a tenté d'instrumentaliser la musique à des fins de propagande, sans pour autant réussir à imposer ses propres choix.Avec son sens du récit et sa maîtrise des détails historiques, Franck Ferrand nous offre un éclairage fascinant sur la manière dont la passion d'Hitler pour la musique a façonné son idéologie et son projet politique

Wir warten auf das perfekte Wetter, die richtige Begleitung, eine gute Idee und manchmal auch auf die Ausrüstung, die uns vermeintlich noch fehlt. Und während wir warten, vergeht der Sommer ... Das kann schnell passieren und genau deshalb gibt's heute diese Folge. Es geht darin um eine ganz besondere Kunst, die Abenteuer unterwegs wertvoller macht, sie aber auch ermöglichen kann: die Improvisation. Was können wir von improvisierenden Musiker:innen lernen, die jahrelang üben, um im entscheidenden Moment frei aufspielen zu können? Was hat das „wilde Denken“ des Anthropologen Claude Lévi-Strauss mit dem Draußensein zu tun? Und warum sind Abenteurer vielleicht auch „Bricoleure” – Bastler, die nicht zuerst danach fragen, was fehlt, sondern was sich aus dem Vorhandenen machen lässt? Wir sprechen darüber, warum gute Vorbereitung und Improvisation keine Gegensätze sind, welche Fähigkeiten in unser persönliches Multitool gehören und warum wir unsere Ausrüstung richtig kennen sollten. Es geht um Jazz und McGyver, um Umwege und Frustrationstoleranz, Aufmerksamkeit und die Fähigkeit, im richtigen Moment den ursprünglichen Plan loszulassen. Wenn du diesen Sommer zu einem außergewöhnlichen werden lassen willst, dann solltest du unbedingt reinhören. // Alle Werbepartner des FREI RAUS Podcast und aktuelle Rabatte für Hörer:innen findest du unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus-partner // Hier kannst du den wöchentlichen Newsletter zum Podcast abonnieren: https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Ich freue mich, wenn du den Podcast mit einem kleinen Beitrag unterstützt!

Before the operation can even start, one commander who is trying to stop the invasion frames another for the crime of sacrilege, leading him to defect to the Spartans and convince them to join the war to stop Athens.

It's hard to overstate how important it is for OTs and PTs to understand the new value-based care models.But, let's be honest—they are an overwhelming and confusing alphabet soup (TEAM, LEAD, GUIDE, ACO REACH), and that's just the acronyms.For OTs and PTs, understanding these models will be the difference between being embedded in the healthcare team of the future—where we deliver highly valued care—and falling into obscurity while our patients receive sub-par care.Luckily, we have a master at demystifying the complex, Dana Strauss, back on the podcast. You'll learn:-How to analyze new models-How to understand your potential role in them-How to move your career and your organization forwardI know therapists are so busy on the ground, but we can't afford to miss this one.See full course details here:https://otpotential.com/continuing-education/course/therapy-and-value-based-care-modelsSee all OT CEU courses here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-coursesCheck our our live webinar schedule here:https://otpotential.com/live-ot-ceu-webinarsSupport the show by using the OTPOTENTIAL Medbridge Code:https://otpotential.com/blog/promo-code-for-medbridgeTry 2 free OT Potential courses here:https://otpotential.com/free-ot-ceusSupport the show

Alright, welcome back to Žižek & So On. This week continues our NEW SERIES on the systematic aspects of Žižek's thought & we're taking a look at the work of philosopher Berta M. Pérez focusing on her essay “The Courage to Hold onto a Paradox” and her book The Dialectical Gaze: Hegel with Žižek. Why does every apparently coherent order depend on an excluded element?  WTF is the transcendental turn? Along the way we return to some of Žižek's key examples: Lévi-Strauss's divided village, Hegel's monarch as the empty point of decision, & the strange loop of subject and substance.The European Graduate School are running a Leading Thinkers Course on Slavoj Žižek and I know a lot of our listeners are attending the course which is exciting and a big thanks to all of you who have been reaching out to us over the course of the series so far! The course runs for ten weeks or so with Frank Ruda, Mladen Dolar, Adrian Johnston, Robert Pfaller, Zahi Zalloua, Dany Nobus, Alenka Zupančič, Berta Perez, and at the end Žižek…on…himself….so we're going to be doing these episodes alongside the course.Up next we stay with Žižek's Hegel, but move from Pérez's account of the Dialectical Gaze to the early Žižek of The Most Sublime Hysteric with Frank Ruda.See you in Paris,Ž&…

Leo Strauss is not a name many conservatives would know, but his philosophy, and the students who follow it, radically redefined the movement. Strauss was an accomplished scholar with an interesting method for interpreting philosophical texts. Despite an impressive intellect, Strauss' larger project had implications that his students followed to create the movement we call neoconservatism. We'll break down what Strauss believed and how his students created a revolution inside conservatism.    Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Learn more about your ad choices.

We're podcasting per the launch of the World Cup-tracking Probability Cup, but of course, just had to talk about Wednesday night's NBA Finals classic. The BIG question on my mind: Should predictors/gamblers price in the NBA's massive incentive to make this great series continue? Topics!* Knicks–Spurs Finals comeback analysis and whether San Antonio collapsed or New York surged.* How teams should manage volatility differently when protecting large leads versus playing from behind.* Debate over NBA referee incentives, league interests, and the possibility of series-extension bias.* SportsPredict's World Cup Probability Cup and using prediction contests to identify analytical talent.* Whether modern hiring should adopt a “Moneyball” approach by measuring forecasting skill instead of relying on traditional credentials.* Is the big money in studying idiot sports predictors or geniuses?Again, join our Probability Cup contest and perhaps win an iPad Pro ($1,000 value) or $200 Ticketmaster gift card.

Pull up a chair and pour yourself a drink! For the third installment in our occasional series on important conservative books, or important books written by or embraced by conservatives, we take up Leo Strauss's Natural Right and History, based on his 1949 Walgreen Lectures at the University of Chicago (where he taught for two decades) and published in 1953. To help us, we called on our friend Matt Dinan, a political theorist who's associate professor in the Great Books Program at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick, Canada. If you've listened to previous episodes and wanted us to go deeper on Leo Strauss, the German-Jewish political philosopher who came to the United States after fleeing Nazism, "Straussianism," and what they might have to do with American conservatism and our present political moment, here you go. After offering some background on Strauss and the context of Natural Right and History's publication, we discuss Strauss's patriotic appeal to Americans in the book's introduction, walk listeners through the chapters that follow (explaining what "natural right" is and why it's paired with "history" in the title along the way), and close out by exploring Strauss's ambiguous relationship to American conservatism—and more!

I think we should be frank with one another at this point and just acknowledge that the world is having itself an upheaval. If this is not the Fourth Turning that Howe and Strauss wrote about back in the day, it is bidding fair to approximate some kind of white water turning. As the saying goes, “first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.” But all along that process is a good deal of churn...For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

The 2026 NFL schedule is here, and it's time to admit it: this is a total scam. We knew the games months ago, and "strength of schedule" is just a guess based on a season that's already over. Yet, here we are, reading every headline just to plan our November. If we're going to waste our time on nonsense, let's at least make it interesting nonsense. Let's stop the schedule-shuffling and start a much weirder conversation: What if American football played by soccer's rules? Plus, Ethan Strauss of House of Strauss stops by to give his thoughts on storylines and why we think the way we do. Don't miss it.

Guest Author Barry Strauss discusses the power struggle between Mark Antony and the young Octavian following Julius Caesar's assassination. Strauss relies on the Greek historians Plutarch and Cassius Dio to reconstruct this era, noting that Plutarch is the best single source for Antony's life. While Antony was a noble consul and Caesar's seasoned lieutenant, Octavian was a slight, 19-year-old great-nephew who lacked military experience but possessed "Machiavellian" cunning. The two joined Lepidus in the Second Triumvirate to avenge Caesar, leading to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC. Although Antony emerged as the hero of that victory, Octavian allegedly fled the battlefield due to illness. This victory eliminated assassins like Cassius and Brutus, yet it set the stage for a civil war where Octavian'spolitical ambition would eventually overwhelm Antony's social pedigree. Strauss emphasizes that Caesar likely educated Octavian in the "dark arts of power." (1/8)1680 CONSTANTINOPLE

Strauss highlights that while tactics are for amateurs, logistics are for professionals, citing Marcus Agrippa as the mastermind behind Octavian's strategy. Instead of invading Italy, Antony and Cleopatra waited in western Greece, allowing Agrippa to strike first in early 31 BC. Agrippa launched a daring, pre-dawn amphibious assault on Methone, a vital supply base guarded by the deposed King Bogud. This surprise victory effectively severed Antony's supply lines from Egypt, trapping his fleet at Actium. Antony's forces were soon plagued by hunger and disease in the malarial swamps of the Greek coast. Strauss explains that Agrippa utilized local guides and superior naval training to achieve this logistical "one-two punch." By the time the main battle arrived, Antony was already strategically defeated, his options limited to a desperate breakout attempt rather than a coordinated offensive. Agrippa's foresight turned the naval engagement into a foregone conclusion. (5/8)457 AMBROSIAN ILLIAD
