In this episode, Dinesh discusses the fall of Europe which he sadly terms “Europe R.I.P.” One of America’s great mathematicians, Terrence Tao, bemoans his department’s lack of federal funding, but Dinesh argues that Tao and others brought this on themselves. Dinesh reviews his exchange with a black woman who, strangely enough, accuses him of being too hard on the racist Southern Democrats of the nineteenth century.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finding Dead Space – Ep 174 In this walking podcast I discuss the concept of finding dead space in the breath, and in your life. This is also known as equanimity, or being content with the present moment as it is. It's a concept that has utility for athletes, as they are often rushing from thing to thing, and this rushing is often a consequence of the mentality that they are not inherently enough.  “The best athlete wants his opponent at his best. The best general enters the mind of his enemy. The best businessman serves the communal good. The best leader follows the will of the people.  All of these embody the virtue of non-competition. Not that they don't love to compete, but they do it in the spirit of play. In this they are like children and in harmony with the Tao.”  Tao te Ching, Stephen Mitchell translation 

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Jim Pasmore shares, “The Tao of Healing and Health”. In this talk Jim will present a review of healing practices through the ages from Shaman's of 30,000 years ago to Unity and in between. We will see that perennial wisdom has guided much of the more recent successful practices. Some surprising techniques were employed by the father of New Thought, Pinneas Quimby, that healed 10,000 folks in New England that conventional medicine of the day had given up on. Jim will share the fundamental basis of all healing: "Spirit is the life, mind is the builder and body is the result." He will also share some of his personal experiences with healing and health. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

“Acceptability is a matter of logic: if you do not pursue what is acceptable when you see it, and do not flee what is unacceptable when you see it, acceptability and unacceptability are to each other as left to right, as outside to inside.” — Thomas Cleary, Wen-Tzu, Verse 116   30 Tools to Stay Sober All Year Round!

In questo episodio, esploriamo il libro "Irriducibile" di Federico Faggin, un pioniere dell'informatica, mentre affrontiamo il complesso tema della coscienza umana e il suo rapporto con l'intelligenza artificiale.Discutiamo domande chiave come:• Come la nostra natura cosciente influisce sulle nostre azioni?• Qual è la radice del male secondo Faggin, e come si collega alla comunicazione e all'informazione?• In che modo il concetto di entanglement quantistico riflette la nostra interconnessione?Rifletto su come ogni nostro gesto possa essere visto come un atto di auto-rivelazione dell'universo. Ciò che facciamo quotidianamente non è solo un'azione, ma una co-creazione della realtà che abitiamo.Ti invito ad ascoltare e a condividere le tue idee su questo affascinante tema.00:00:00 Eccoci qua carissimi amici di La Mia Vita Spaziale, oggi finalmente commentando il libro Irriducibile.00:01:00 Noi facciamo come le seity per la semplice ragione che siamo seity.00:03:00 Il male emerge qui non come forza metafisica, ma come tragico fraintendimento ontologico.00:07:00 Il Tao Te Ching inizia con questo verso: 'Il tao che può essere detto / non è l'eterno Tao.'00:11:00 Faggin svela qui l'illusione di un'informazione autosufficiente.00:15:00 L'entanglement diventa qui metafora cosmica dell'interconnessione fondamentale.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how to let go of the past.Have you ever caught yourself replaying an old hurt, long after the moment has passed? Do you ever believe that holding onto the pain somehow holds others accountable?

With great courage, radical honesty, and self-awareness, we are ready to bridge and strengthen our relationship with your true self and the divine."Tao Te Ching – Verse 77As it acts in the world, the Taois like the bending of a bow.The top is bent downward;the bottom is bent up.It adjusts excess and deficiencyso that there is perfect balance.It takes from what is too muchand gives to what isn't enough.Those who try to control,who use force to protect their power,go against the direction of the Tao.They take from those who don't have enoughand give to those who have far too much.The Master can keep givingbecause there is no end to her wealth.She acts without expectation,succeeds without taking credit,and doesn't think that she is betterthan anyone else."Simply. Listen. Rest in the Void.The Full Moon reached full potency on Saturday, August 9th, 2025, at 12:54 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).Questions:Where do you want to focus internally right now?How well do you know this aspect of yourself?How does this knowing help you and others in the world you are creating?Weekly talks are an offering to assist you in diving deeper into a spiritual practice, exploring your inner landscape, and cultivating inner peace.Time Stamps: Dharma 0:00 | Meditation 21:22 | Sound 44:44 | Outro 1:23:00Music‘Fields of Flowers' by Cadre ScottPurchase River Single  HereProduction brought to you by OmToro Wellness + MediaMind Training: 8 Limbs Yoga Session: Weekly Writings and Well BeingHumanity + Earth Friendly Goodies:SuperfeastLiving TeaKindSpringFormula FlawlessZinZino Balance Oil  Balance + Focus Quick LinkOra CacoaBook: SunPlayHoney Bee Hippie

Episode Description:Hosted by James Altucher (serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of "Choose Yourself," podcaster, hedge fund manager, chess master, and investor in over 20 companies, with expertise in crypto and AI) and Joseph Jacks (founder and general partner of OSS Capital, the world's first VC firm dedicated to commercial open-source software; early-stage investor in AI and open-source tech, previously Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Quantum Corporation).In the premiere episode, James and Joe explore Bittensor's decentralized AI ecosystem, contrasting it with centralized giants like xAI's Grok 4. They discuss subnets providing GPUs, datasets, and models; proof-of-useful-work mining; building custom AI agents; and Bittensor's potential to outpace Big Tech in achieving superintelligence.Plus, tokenomics, real-world apps, capitalism parallels, and bold predictions on TAO's future value.Key Timestamps & Topics:00:00:00 - Intro: Podcast overview, AI/crypto news (Grok 4, Bitcoin ATH), centralized vs. decentralized AI.00:09:00 - Proof of Useful Work: Mining datasets, models, inference on Bittensor.00:10:00 - Subnet Deep Dives: Dataverse (13) for data scraping; building trading models.00:16:00 - Chutes (64): Cheap AI inference, e.g., Bible chatbot at 1/50th OpenAI cost.00:23:00 - Agentic AI: Building owned agents, avoiding Big Tech biases/control.00:28:00 - Scaling & Future: Decentralization's infinite potential; Bitcoin compute parallels.00:33:00 - Superintelligence Path: Bittensor faster than Elon; energy/chip challenges.00:34:00 - Bittensor's Early Stage: Like 1990s internet, needs better user interfaces.00:38:00 - Chutes Economics: 10T+ tokens served, 4.4K H100 GPUs, user growth.00:50:00 - Valuation & Growth: Subnets as companies; TAO potentially 5-10x Bitcoin.01:02:00 - Bittensor as Pure Capitalism: Incentives for supply/demand; upgrading equity models.01:09:00 - Centralization Risks: Elon/Meta control; Bittensor's global solution.01:13:00 - Wrap-Up: Teasing future episodes on subnets, AI ventures.Key Takeaways:Bittensor incentivizes ~20-100K GPUs permissionlessly, rivaling xAI at zero CapEx.Subnets like Chutes (inference) and Dataverse (data) enable cheap, owned AI models for anyone.Decentralization democratizes AI talent/compute, potentially building AGI faster than centralized efforts.Quote: "Bittensor is the most expressive language of value in the history of languages of value." – Joseph JacksResources & Links:Bittensor Official: bittensor.comTaostats (Explorer/TAO App): taostats.ioSubnet 64 (Chutes): taostats.io/subnets/64Subnet 13 (Dataverse): macrocosmos.ai/sn13Akash Network: akash.networkxAI: x.aiFollow Hosts: @jaltucher & @josephjacks_ on XSubscribe for more on Bittensor subnets, AI building, and crypto trends!

Host Susan Ryan sits down with visionary eldercare advocate and Pioneer Network co-founder Barry Barkin for a profound conversation on reimagining aging and the transformative potential of community, spirit, and consciousness. Barkin shares his journey from founding the Live Oak Institute to helping launch the Pioneer Network, driven by a belief that aging is not a problem to solve but a gift to elevate. He recounts his efforts to create a regenerative, inclusive community at the Jewish Home in Oakland—an idea that initially faced rejection but ultimately gained momentum and global influence, including a successful expansion into 15 homes in Israel. But this conversation goes beyond history. Barry offers a deeply reflective vision for a paradigm shift—a movement from a worldview rooted in domination and separation to one grounded in interconnection, kindness, and sufficiency. He challenges listeners to see humanity as one living being, where every person and every creature matters. Together, Susan and Barry explore the concept of “Elder Awesome” and moving beyond traditional notions of “elder care.” They also discuss the “Tao of Blessings”—a personal path to leave grace in every encounter Barkin offers his vision for communities and care environments rooted in equity, dignity, and accountability.

Welcome to the premiere episode of Living the Tao Shorts, the newest addition to the Living the Tao family!Taoism isn't about waiting for the afterlife—it's about mastering life, right here, right now. In this kickoff short, we explore how Taoism stands apart from systems built on judgment or salvation. Instead of telling you what to believe, it gives you tools—methods—for living well, staying healthy, and creating a life that fits you.Drawing contrasts with ancient Egyptian death rituals and Western systems that don't always serve the individual, this episode reframes Taoism as a grounded, observation-based approach to human well-being.Whether you're looking for peace, clarity, or just a better way to live—this is a place to begin.

In this thought-provoking episode, Greg Verdino and Geoff Livingston sit down with media ecologist, leadership expert, and author Jack Myers for a wide-ranging conversation on the intersection of AI, leadership, creativity, and Taoist philosophy. Drawing on insights from his latest book, The Tao of Leadership, Jack shares why 3,000-year-old Taoist wisdom might be the perfect guide for navigating today's era of AI and exponential technological change. The conversation explores how principles like “leading by following” and “fusion flow” can help leaders move more fluidly through uncertainty, disruption, and accelerated innovation. Rather than building slow, rigid bridges to a future that keeps shifting, Jack advocates for fast-moving portals that help teams adapt in real time, led not just by technology but by deeply human values. Jack, Greg and Geoff also unpack the creative implications of AI, arguing that the real power lies not in replacement but in remix: combining machine-generated suggestions with human intuition, emotional nuance, and originality. Along the way, they touch on education, culture, risk-taking, and what it takes to lead through fear, data deluge, and systemic stagnation. With stories drawn from marketing, media, music, and even (wait for it…) Second Life, this episode offers a human-centered lens on a fast-evolving future and invites listeners to rethink not just how we work but how we imagine what's possible.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores the topic of personal resilience and how to break free from the illusion of helplessness.How often do you hear the words, “I can't cope,” echoing from the depths of your mind?

Ancient wisdom, wrapped in poetry, that somehow feels more relevant every year. Like this line: “If you look to others for happiness, you will never be happy. If your well-being depends on money, you will never be content.“Simple. Clear. Actually useful.I've teamed up with Rebind.ai to create an interactive edition of the Tao—forty essential verses, translated into plain, everyday language, with space to reflect, explore, and ask questions.

What if the very thing that gives your life meaning is also what's burning you out? That's the paradox. Leah Weiss found herself in teaching compassionate leadership at Stanford. Working with organizations inspired by the Dalai Lama. Doing the kind of work most of us dream of. And yet she was falling apart. In today's conversation, we unpacked the silent erosion of self that can happen even when everything looks right on the outside. Leah shares how burnout crept in under the guise of purpose, why discernment can't be done alone, and how the small act of knitting helped her find her way back to herself. This episode is a map for anyone wondering is it me? Is it the job or is it the world we're trying to survive in?Key Takeaways:The issue of burnout, particularly in the workplace.Personal experiences and challenges related to burnout.The importance of recognizing signs and symptoms of burnout.The concept of discernment in addressing dissatisfaction.Distinction between burnout and compassion fatigue.The role of community and support in navigating burnout.Factors contributing to burnout at individual, team, and organizational levels.The significance of psychological safety and team dynamics.The search for meaning and alignment of personal values in work.The impact of entrepreneurship on well-being, particularly for women founders.If you enjoyed this conversation with Leah Weiss, check out these other episodes:Embracing Emotions at Work with Liz FosslienHow to Deal with Burnout Through Self-Compassion with Kristin NeffFor full show notes, click here!Connect with the show:Follow us on YouTube: @TheOneYouFeedPodSubscribe on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyFollow us on InstagramThe Tao Te Ching is one of those books I keep coming back to.
