This event was the launch of Seçkin Sertdemir's latest book 'Civic Death in Contemporary Turkey: Mass Surveillance and the Authoritarian State' published by Cambridge University Press. What does it mean for a government to declare its citizens 'dead' while they still live? Following the failed 2016 coup, the Turkish AKP government implemented sweeping powers against some 152,000 of its citizens. These Kanun hükmünde kararnameli ('emergency decreed') were dismissed from their positions and banned for life from public service. With their citizenship rights revoked, Seçkin Sertdemir argues these individuals were rendered into a state of 'civic death'. This study considers how these authoritarian securitisation methods took shape, shedding light on the lived experiences of targeted people. Meet the speakers and chair Seçkin Sertdemir is a Visiting Fellow in the European Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Confessional Video Art and Subjectivity Private Experiences in Public Spaces (Bloomsbury, 2025) examines the development of the confessional subject in video art and demonstrates how it can provide a vital platform for navigating the politics of self, subjectivity, and resistance in society. In doing so, it reframes video art – the most ubiquitous and yet most understudied art form of recent decades – as an urgent socio-political tool that is increasingly popular among contemporary artists as a means of exploring a broad range of social issues, from politics and identity, to the body and technologies of self-representation. Author Jaye Early brings together theory and practice to look afresh at contemporary video art through a Foucauldian lens. Early also brings the analysis of video art up to date by showing how social media and digital self representation has informed and further politicized time-based art practices. Dr. Jaye Early is Lecturer in Contemporary Art at the University of New South Wales, Sydney and a practicing video artist. The episode is hosted by Ailin Zhou, PhD student in Film & Digital Media at University of California - Santa Cruz. Learn more about your ad choices.

Emergent Perspective dropped by to pull on some threads we left dangling in our first conversation about the likelihood of an A.I. Congress. We cover a lot of ground in these 90 minutes, topics such as A.I.'s place in the historical cycle of Government and Civilization, Palantir and now Grok as the new models for A.I. taking over decision making in the military, media, and finance, the competency crisis getting solved by individuals assisted by A.I. rather than institutions, and Subjectivity going up on trial as society gets block chained.

In this episode, host Sean interviews Morley Nelson, a multifaceted filmmaker whose latest movie, 'Uncontained,' is gaining attention on the Bloody Disgusting and Screambox. The conversation covers various topics, including Morley's journey to be a filmmaker, the challenges and joys of making 'Uncontained' on a limited budget, and the unique experience of working with his family on set. They also touch on the broader film industry, discussing the complexities of streaming, film festivals, and the representation of minority filmmakers. The discussion wraps up with a deep dive into Morley's favorite horror movie monsters and advice for aspiring filmmakers. 00:00 Introduction 05:20 Meet Morley Nelson 06:06 Discussing 'Uncontained' 06:52 The Horror Genre and Audience Connection 10:33 Zombie Films and Emotional Depth 12:42 Critics and Subjectivity in Film 16:50 The Art of Filmmaking 42:18 Streaming Services and Viewing Habits 46:04 Morley's Background and Career Start 47:54 Jumping onto New Projects 48:08 Breaking into Hollywood 48:37 Mentorship and Learning to Write 50:06 Advising on 11.22.63 53:44 Challenges of Filming in Extreme Conditions 55:56 Family Involvement in Filmmaking 01:01:31 Overcoming Production Hurdles 01:19:08 Directing and Acting Simultaneously 01:29:31 Rapid Fire Questions 01:30:17 Reflecting on Representation in Media 01:31:14 Japanese Horror and Bathroom Ghosts 01:33:43 Favorite Horror Movies and Monsters 01:36:58 Anime and Movie Snacks 01:39:03 The Challenges of Making Horror Movies 01:41:06 Debating Remakes and Originality 01:50:48 Advice for Aspiring Filmmakers 01:58:43 Streaming Platforms and Film Distribution 02:08:40 Closing Thoughts and Future Projects THS #407: Into the Cineverse with Morley Nelson Learn more about your ad choices.

Andrea Centore is the co-founder and managing director of the Research Network for the Study of Esoteric Practices. He received his training in Translation Studies from the University of Mons and his training in Religious Studies from the University of Amsterdam. His research explores the intersection of Jewish and Islamic esotericism, with a particular focus on Kabbalah and Sufi Lettrism.Dr Bernd-Christian Otto, a scholar of religion at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, serves as RENSEP's scientific director. His extensive research encompasses magic and esotericism, and his notable publications include 'Defining Magic: A Reader' and 'Fictional Practice: Magic, Narration and the Power of Imagination'.​RENSEP is dedicated to promoting and advancing the interdisciplinary and comparative study of esoteric practices from a global perspective. The organisation strives to create a stimulating intellectual and methodological environment that facilitates collaboration among researchers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. By providing a shared cognitive and interactional space, RENSEP transcends traditional academic boundaries, encouraging the participation of both scholars and practitioners in the study of esoteric practices. ​In this session, we will delve into RENSEP's mission to bridge the gap between scholars and practitioners, fostering a collaborative environment that enriches theoretical understanding and practical engagement with esoteric traditions. We will explore how RENSEP's initiatives, such as funding research projects and establishing databases for ritual scripts and experience reports, contribute to this goal. ​Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into the innovative approaches RENSEP employs to advance the study of esoteric practices and to understand how the collaboration between scholars and practitioners can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of these traditions.SIGN UP TO RENSEP https://www.rensep.org/Discount code: angelaHere is Dean Radin's article with the result of the sigil magick experiment: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ithst5hzbmpbdrfc37mrv/Physics-Essays-Quantum-Observer-Radin-2025.pdf?rlkey=gpyzz52z5wh2o88foxn1jemdm&e=1&dl=0CONNECT & SUPPORT

We take it for granted that through language and communication we can learn about the experience of others. But it remains unknown whether we can fully know what it is like to be another human being. James Baldwin and Jean-Paul Sartre take radically different approaches. For Sartre, the experience of others is unknown to us. Fundamentally, we are alone with our own subjectivity. While for Baldwin, "to encounter oneself is to encounter the other; and this is love". Summing up his disagreement with Sartre he remarked: "it has always seemed to me that ideas were somewhat more real to him than people.”Was Baldwin right that to be alive is to be socially connected to others? Or is Sartre's insight that the only thing we can know is our own experience more telling? Should we conclude that we cannot understand the experience of another unless we have had the same experience? Or is language capable of bridging the seemingly impossible gap between us?

  Art Is Personal: Embracing the Subjective Nature of Creation In this episode of A Creative Affair, Brie and Len dive deep into the subjective nature of art, with all its highs, lows, and beautiful nuances. Here's what you can look forward to: •The Subjectivity of Art: Why “good” art is in the eye of the beholder. Brie and Len discuss how different perspectives can bring about wildly different reactions to the same work of art. •Judging Art: What happens when judges and the public disagree? Len shares his experience judging a prestigious art competition and how the popular vote often doesn't match expert opinions. •Disappointment in Art: What to do when you pour your heart into a piece, and the world just doesn't see it the way you do. Spoiler: It's all about learning to separate your value from others' opinions. •Letting Go of Validation: How to find joy and fulfillment in creating art for yourself, not for the approval of others. Highlights include: •The importance of creating from a personal place. •How social media can distort art appreciation. •A look at the 1,000 True Fans theory and why it matters for artists. •The healing power of art and how it can act as a mirror for both the creator and the audience. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about making art, trusting your process, and letting go of the need for external validation. Whether you're an artist or an art lover, this episode will get you thinking about art in a whole new light!

For fans of the old school deep dives from The UFO Rabbit Hole, this episode is for you. For many, the biggest challenge in engaging with UFOs, NHIs, and the anomalous isn't a lack of evidence, but the nature of the evidence itself. The best data we have comes from experiencers—those who have directly encountered the unknown. But their stories are often so strange, so far outside of our frameworks, that even the most open-minded struggle with how to approach them.In this episode, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King take on this challenge head-on, exploring:

He has recently been looking into a topic that's dear to our hearts - the role that Chrstianity played in the social evolution of human society for the last two thousand years. Morgan proposes that the Bible goes far beyond the creation of the believer vs nonbeliever - it actually establishes a metaphysical frame for everything that follows, wherein the foundational premise of the death and resurrection of the Crucifixion is intended to be literally *beyond belief.* We explore the social features that are required downstream of this central premise, and how the world we inhabit today is shaped by principles established in a wildly different age.

We've finally done it: all seven Edward Yang films discussed on Deep Cut. The only podcast to give Edward Yang the time and space he deserves as one of the all time greatest directors (and Wilson's favorite director)!We end our coverage on Yang with what is considered to be his magnum opus, 1991's A Brighter Summer Day, an intimate epic of teenage angst, romance, and rebellion that also captures Taiwan in a specific era of political and social turbulence with incredible detail. Together, we discuss ABSD's unique visual palette compared to Yang's other non-period work, and go in depth into its thematic concerns regarding Taiwan on a scale both personal and national. Wilson highlights the virtuosic blocking in large crowd scenes, Eli makes a case for proper education as the salve for social ills, and Ben asks, can a film be “too perfect”?Are you lonesome?

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Jesse and Leo, co-founders of Maitri, a social infrastructure project focused on fostering interoperability between different social media applications. They explore the limitations of current social networks, the importance of community graphs in building trust and reputation, and how to create a digital environment that prioritizes meaningful human connection over algorithmic engagement. The conversation also touches on AI, reputation systems, decentralized governance, and the future of online coordination in an era of increasing technological acceleration.

Maitri is designed as a social infrastructure project that enables interoperability between platforms, allowing for greater connectivity, user control, and shared network effects. Instead of monopolies controlling engagement, they envision a future where smaller, more specialized communities can thrive while remaining interconnected.Community Graphs Offer a More Nuanced Approach to Social Identity – Unlike traditional social graphs that focus on one-to-one relationships, community graphs provide a richer representation of how people engage within groups. These graphs account for the “fuzziness” of social membership, acknowledging that participation in a community is often subjective and context-dependent. This system aims to better reflect how humans naturally form trust and reputations within various groups.Reputation Systems Should Be Positive, Subjective, and Competitive – One of the key challenges in designing digital reputation systems is avoiding the pitfalls of social credit scores. Maitri's approach ensures that reputations are built through private, positive attestations rather than public negative ratings. This system mirrors real-world trust-building, where individuals accumulate credibility over time rather than being permanently defined by past mistakes. Additionally, by allowing multiple reputation frameworks to compete, users maintain agency over how they are evaluated.AI and Automation Will Radically Reshape Online Interaction – With AI-driven bots increasingly indistinguishable from humans, the internet is at risk of becoming an overwhelming space filled with automated engagement. Jesse and Leo highlight that while AI can be useful, there must be clear distinctions between human and non-human interactions. Maitri's reputation infrastructure could help address this challenge by providing proof of unique personhood, allowing people to differentiate between trusted human connections and AI-driven entities.Decentralized Coordination is a Crucial Missing Layer of the Internet – One of the biggest problems facing humanity is the failure to coordinate effectively. Traditional institutions and digital platforms have struggled to balance inclusivity with exclusivity, leading to either centralization or fragmentation. By creating digital primitives that allow for more efficient coordination—whether through financial incentives, reputation mechanisms, or group dynamics—Maitri aims to provide tools that help people organize at scale without relying on monopolistic control.The Future of Media is Many-to-Many, Not One-to-Many – The era of mass culture driven by television and radio, where everyone consumed the same media at the same time, is fading. Instead, we are moving toward a more fragmented but dynamic landscape where smaller communities cultivate their own cultural moments. While this shift eliminates shared cultural touchpoints, it allows for greater diversity of thought and expression. Curation and trust-based networks will become increasingly important as content continues to proliferate.Balancing Privacy, Identity, and Accountability is the Next Digital Challenge – The conversation highlights the ongoing tension between privacy and accountability in online spaces. While anonymous or pseudonymous interactions can protect free speech, they can also enable bad actors. Maitri's approach seeks to give users control over their identities by enabling flexible, context-dependent personas rather than enforcing a single, rigid identity. This allows for a balance between protecting privacy and maintaining trust in online interactions.

In this episode, Olivia and Emily discuss their experiences and insights from the recent Oscars. They delve into Emily's early morning adventure at the Dolby Theater, their predictions and results from the awards, and the surprises that unfolded during the night. The conversation also touches on the marketing strategies behind Oscar campaigns, the scrutiny celebrities face, and the importance of cultural sensitivity, especially regarding language barriers. They also reflect on the dynamics of privilege, time management, and equity in the context of the Oscars. The sisters conclude with the importance of respecting all voices in the film industry and the subjectivity of awards and the value of artistic expression beyond accolades. Chapters00:00 Introduction and Oscars Overview02:20 Emily's Oscars Experience05:47 Predictions and Results07:20 Surprises and Insights from the Oscars11:55 Marketing and Psychology in Film Awards15:58 Celebrities Under Scrutiny18:39 Cultural Sensitivity and Language Barriers23:45 Controversies and Gossip from the Oscars24:00 Privilege and Space in Public Discourse25:28 Respecting Time and Voices at the Oscars25:54 Equity in Award Recognition30:45 The Role of Moderation in Award Speeches34:18 Impactful Speech: Lessons from Sean Baker35:48 The Demi Moore v.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Andrew Altschuler, a researcher, educator, and navigator at Tana, Inc., who also founded Tana Stack. Their conversation explores knowledge systems, complexity, and AI, touching on topics like network effects in social media, information warfare, mimetic armor, psychedelics, and the evolution of knowledge management. They also discuss the intersection of cognition, ontologies, and AI's role in redefining how we structure and retrieve information.

Without enough engaged participants, even well-designed social networks struggle to sustain themselves, and individuals migrate to spaces where meaningful conversations persist. This explains why Twitter remains dominant despite competition and why smaller, curated communities can be more rewarding but difficult to scale.Information Warfare and the Need for Cognitive Armor – In today's digital landscape, engagement-driven algorithms create an arena of information warfare, where narratives are designed to hijack emotions and shape public perception. The only real defense is developing cognitive armor—critical thinking skills, pattern recognition, and the ability to deconstruct media. By analyzing how information is presented, from video editing techniques to linguistic framing, individuals can resist manipulation and maintain autonomy over their perspectives.The Role of Ontologies in AI and Knowledge Management – Traditional knowledge management has long been overlooked as dull and bureaucratic, but AI is transforming the field into something dynamic and powerful. Systems like Tana and Palantir use ontologies—structured representations of concepts and their relationships—to enhance information retrieval and reasoning. AI models perform better when given structured data, making ontologies a crucial component of next-generation AI-assisted thinking.The Danger of Illusions of Insight – Drawing from ideas by Balaji Srinivasan, the episode distinguished between genuine insight and the illusion of insight. While psychedelics, spiritual experiences, and intense emotional states can feel revelatory, they do not always produce knowledge that can be tested, shared, or used constructively. The ability to distinguish between profound realizations and self-deceptive experiences is critical for anyone navigating personal and intellectual growth.AI as an Extension of Human Cognition, Not a Second Brain – While popular frameworks like "second brain" suggest that digital tools can serve as externalized minds, the episode argued that AI and note-taking systems function more as extended cognition rather than true thinking machines. AI can assist with organizing and retrieving knowledge, but it does not replace human reasoning or creativity. Properly integrating AI into workflows requires understanding its strengths and limitations.The Relationship Between Personal and Collective Knowledge Management – Effective knowledge management is not just an individual challenge but also a collective one. While personal knowledge systems (like note-taking and research practices) help individuals retain and process information, organizations struggle with preserving and sharing institutional knowledge at scale. Companies like Tesla exemplify how knowledge isn't just stored in documents but embodied in skilled individuals who can rebuild complex systems from scratch.The Increasing Value of First Principles Thinking – Whether in AI development, philosophy, or practical decision-making, the discussion emphasized the importance of grounding ideas in first principles. Great thinkers and innovators, from AI researchers like Demis Hassabis to physicists like David Deutsch, excel because they focus on fundamental truths rather than assumptions. As AI and digital tools reshape how we interact with knowledge, the ability to think critically and question foundational concepts will become even more essential.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Natalia Rappa and we dive deep into holistic psychology and motherhood. We unpack what trauma really is (hint: it's more subjective than you think), how it can show up as anxiety and depression, and how EMDR therapy can be a game-changer for healing. Plus, we share practical grounding techniques and mindset shifts to help you navigate the chaos of life while staying present!Dr. Natalia Rappa is a holistic psychologist. Her private practice focuses on working with adolescents and adults in transitional life phases dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. She holds a doctoral degree in school/clinical psychology from Hofstra University. She has specialized training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). In addition, she pursued further training in EMDR, a evidenced based treatment for trauma. She integrates these different approaches to meet the unique needs of each of her clients. The belief at the core of her work is that our mind and bodies want to heal and have an innate wisdom to do so. With a non-judgmental environment, strong therapeutic rapport, and supportive coping techniques, clients are able to access this wisdom within them. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Rappa is an adjunct professor at Molloy University, where she teaches child and adolescent development. Follow Natalia on Instagram @talkingdrtal or head to her podcast 'Mom Mentality' here!

Zach and I discuss some playful 'Podcast Bros Beef' over new recording software AI's clipped edits, which accidentally made Zach appear 'insane.' We also delve into Zach's golf game progress, covering his simulator training during the off-season, swing path improvements, and balancing workouts with practice to avoid injury. The conversation transitions to a spirited debate sparked by a Twitter post from a popular online golf instructor criticizing the term 'swing rebuild,' leading to a discussion on significant versus minor swing changes. They reflect on a compelling podcast episode by Adam Young and John Sherman, which features the impressive golf journey of Will Knauth and highlights the importance of tournament play, consistent practice, and motor learning principles. Key takeaways include the relevance of fitness, unconventional employment, and the skill required to excel in varying golf environments from practice ranges to competitive play.   00:00 Podcast Bros Beef: AI Edits Gone Wrong 01:49 Golf Game Update: Swing Speed and Training 05:17 Simulator Sessions: Practice and Enjoyment 11:51 Fitness and Golf: The Energy Connection 17:37 Internet Fight: Swing Rebuild Debate 19:17 Legal Insights and Swing Rebuilds 19:36 The Subjectivity of Swing Rebuilds 19:49 Navigating Online Golf Content 21:40 Marketing vs. Education in Golf 23:27 Personal Swing Journey 25:34 Comparisons to Tiger Woods

Many SaaS founders view valuation as a straightforward calculation of their company's worth, but it's far more nuanced. Software valuation often depends on the perspectives of individual buyers, leading to significantly different outcomes. In this episode, managing directors Mike Lyon and Scott Austin explore why valuation in SaaS M&A is inherently subjective, how different buyers assess value differently, and what this means for founders navigating the sale of their business.Securities offered through Vista Point Advisors, member FINRA/SIPC.

Welcome to the podcast that's now called Investology. This new name reflects the changes that I felet were needed for 2025 onwards. A new year that feels like a new era in the investment world based on the news this January probably not the era we want, but we can learn to adapt and thrive. Many investment podcasts, that talk about macro, micro or predictions. This is not one of them. Here we think about investment management and what goes on behind the curtain of financial markets. With my guests, we will talk about tech and innovation but also the history, the narratives, the principles. And there's no better guest to start this year with than Alex Edmans, a professor of finance author and expert in how we use and misuse data and evidence. We discuss his excellent book May contain lies in the previous episode. Alex is also a sustainability specialist and author of grow the pie How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit and also wrote a recent paper called The End of ESG and they will be the subject of this conversation that helped me think about sustainable investind and I hope it helps you too. I wish you a great year in your personal, professional and your invetsing life! ABSTRACT from The End of ESG by Alex Edmans ESG is both extremely important and nothing special. It's extremely important because it's critical to long-term value, and so any academic or practitioner should take it seriously, not just those with “ESG” in their research interests or job title. Thus, ESG doesn't need a specialized term, as that implies it's niche – considering long-term factors isn't ESG investing; it's investing. It's nothing special since it's no better or worse than other intangible assets that create long-term financial and social returns, such as management quality, corporate culture, and innovative capability. Companies shouldn't be praised more for improving their ESG performance than these other intangibles; investor engagement on ESG factors shouldn't be put on a pedestal compared to engagement on other value drivers. We want great companies, not just companies that are great at ESG. ABOUT ALEX EDMANS Alex's website: https://alexedmans.com/ Alex Edmans is Professor of Finance at London Business School.

Summary In this episode, Shane Wuerthner discusses the evolving landscape of dance and its perception through social media. He reflects on a recent Instagram post that sparked varied reactions, highlighting the subjectivity of art and the impact of audience feedback. Shane emphasizes the importance of communication in dance, the role of critique, and the balance between technique and emotional expression. He invites listeners to engage in a dialogue about the nature of art and its reception in today's digital age. Takeaways The way we communicate as artists is evolving with social media. Audience feedback can significantly influence artistic expression. Subjectivity in art leads to diverse interpretations and reactions. Critique can come from anyone, regardless of their background in the art form. The relationship between technique and emotional response is complex. Artistic expression is a calling that must be communicated. Communication in art is an imperfect process that requires understanding. The fourth wall between artist and audience is breaking down. Engaging with dissenting opinions can foster meaningful dialogue. Finding balance between objective technique and subjective experience is essential.

In this episode of Golf and Politics, hosts Matt Parker and Rob Elsworth are joined by course rater and golf architecture enthusiast Jake Marvin to discuss the recently released Golf Magazine Top 100 list. The trio dives into what it takes for a course to make the cut, exploring design elements, architectural trends, and the shifting preferences in the golf world. They highlight surprising entries like The Lido and Old Barnwell, the dominance of classic designs by Alister MacKenzie and Donald Ross, and the increasing popularity of minimalist, player-friendly layouts. The discussion covers the impact of course age, architectural originality, and how subjective factors like exclusivity and course difficulty influence rankings. They also tackle controversial omissions, such as Oak Tree National, and consider whether new courses should be ranked before standing the test of time. Along the way, the group reflects on the cultural and regional diversity of golf courses in the U.S. and abroad, debating the future of architecture in the sport and the role of these rankings in shaping public perception. Takeaways The Influence of Classic Architects Remains Strong: Courses designed by Alister MacKenzie, Donald Ross, and other pre-WWII architects dominate the Golf Magazine Top 100 list, reflecting enduring preferences for traditional golf course architecture. Modern Minimalism Gains Popularity: Recent courses like The Lido and Old Barnwell are embracing wider fairways and simpler designs, which prioritize playability while still challenging skilled players. Controversial Omissions Spark Debate: Courses like Oak Tree National and other Pete Dye designs have been left off the list, raising questions about the evolving tastes of course raters. The Role of Subjectivity in Rankings: Factors like exclusivity, difficulty, and aesthetics play a significant role in rankings, but they can create biases that overlook broader accessibility and enjoyment. New Courses Are Rising Quickly on the List: Several recently built courses have achieved high rankings, but there is debate about whether they should be included before maturing and proving their longevity. Accessibility Challenges for Everyday Golfers: Many of the top-ranked courses are private and expensive, limiting access for the majority of golfers, which raises concerns about inclusivity in the sport. The United States Leads in Diversity of Great Courses: From classic coastal links to rugged mountain layouts, the U.S. offers unmatched variety in top-tier golf courses, though accessibility remains a key issue.
