In Rabbi Rembaum's continuing series, he explores the rise and evolution of antisemitism, defined simply as “hatred toward Jews” (IHRA — International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance). The learning is text based and emphasizes interactive discussion. There is some lecturing, primarily to provide historical background. The sessions are organized chronologically: 1. Greek and Roman sources through the lens of Josephus Flavius, 2. Christian and Muslim writings through the 16th century, and 3. the rise and evolution of secular antisemitism from the 19th through the 21st centuries. ​ This session took place via Zoom on June 25, 2025. Special Guest: Rabbi Emeritus Joel Rembaum.

Much of Trump's popular appeal was wrapped up in his anti-establishment and anti-war posture on the campaign trail. But in only a few months, Trump's populist mask has slipped completely and revealed him to be just another neoconservative Republican. In this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber and Paul Prescod discuss Trump's phony right-wing populism, the US involvement in the war with Iran, and how the Republicans are getting away with Medicaid cuts. Confronting Capitalism with Vivek Chibber is produced by Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy, and published by Jacobin. Music by Zonkey.

In this episode, Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, and Brad East are joined by political theorist Jason Blakely to explore the life, work, and legacy of Alasdair MacIntyre. Best known for After Virtue, MacIntyre diagnosed the deep moral confusion of modernity and called for a return to virtue, tradition, and narrative. The conversation traces his journey from Marxism to Thomism, unpacks his critique of Enlightenment liberalism, and considers how his thought challenges both the postliberal right and progressive deconstruction. Along the way, the hosts reflect on what it means to form moral communities in a world of fragmented ethics.

In a dramatic pretrial maneuver, Bryan Kohberger's defense team has introduced an "alternate perpetrator" theory in the 2022 University of Idaho student murders case. During a recent court hearing, Judge Steven Hippler acknowledged the defense's proposal but emphasized the need for concrete evidence to support such a claim. The defense has been given until May 23 to present admissible evidence identifying the alleged alternate suspect. Currently, the details of this theory remain sealed pending the judge's decision on its admissibility .Legal experts view this strategy as a high-risk attempt to introduce reasonable doubt, especially given the substantial evidence against Kohberger, including DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene and surveillance footage of his vehicle near the victims' residence. A hearing to assess the validity of the alternate suspect theory is scheduled for June 18, with the trial set to commence on August 11, 2025 .to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murders BOMBSHELL as Bryan Kohberger names another suspect | Daily Mail Online

In this unique episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee continues from where he left off in the previous session, diving deeper into the theme of seizing 'Shark Theory' moments in daily life. Baylor unpacks his creative process, revealing how he derives themes for his podcasts from everyday experiences and offers a step-by-step guide on how listeners can do the same to enhance their personal growth journey. By understanding the importance of having a clear, central thesis in life pursuits, Baylor shows how we can transform our daily reflections into powerful tools for self-enhancement. The episode also emphasizes the importance of having 'side quests'—auxiliary goals that support and enhance one's primary objectives. Baylor describes how these supporting objectives can provide structure and depth to our main goals, much like accent stones in a diamond ring. He illustrates this concept using relatable analogies and encourages listeners to seek out additional skills and knowledge that could bolster their main ambitions. Throughout the episode, Baylor reinforces the idea of being intentional with one's life choices, ensuring they align with broader aspirations and values. Key Takeaways: Identify a central theme or thesis to anchor your personal growth efforts and life pursuits. Recognize and engage in 'side quests' or auxiliary goals that enrich and support your main objectives. Learn to differentiate between goals and identify those that may not fit into your current life puzzle. Apply past experiences and external learnings to inform and strengthen your current goals. Understand that you hold more experience and wisdom than you might realize by drawing parallels across different areas of your life. Notable Quotes: "If you just go where life's taking you, it's always going to take you downhill, so it's important that you know what that finite point is." "Find that central figure… it sets the tone for how you go about… learning in your own life." "Have those auxiliary things that help your main point… they ultimately give structure." "Every puzzle piece fits the right puzzle, but not every puzzle piece fits in every single puzzle." "You realize you have a lot more experience, a lot more wisdom, and a lot more knowledge than you think you do."

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat do you do when you discover a treasure that's transforming how Americans understand their own history? You break the rules and celebrate it. That's exactly what this special episode of Theory to Action does by highlighting "Threads from the National Tapestry: Stories from the American Civil War," a remarkable podcast hosted by historian Fred Kiger.As we approach America's 250th anniversary (a little over a year from now,) understanding our Civil War has never been more crucial. This conflict wasn't merely a historical episode—it was America's second founding that fundamentally redefined liberty, citizenship, and national identity. While educational institutions increasingly gloss over this pivotal era, Kiger's masterful storytelling brings it vividly to life through meticulously researched monthly episodes available across all major platforms.The podcast's treatment of often-neglected aspects of the war, like the Western Theater battles, demonstrates its commitment to comprehensive historical understanding. The Battle of Shiloh episode exemplifies this approach—detailing how Albert Sidney Johnston's death weakened Confederate leadership, how the victory cemented Grant and Sherman's crucial friendship, and how it opened the Mississippi River campaign that would eventually split the Confederacy. Through first-person accounts, detailed tactical explanations, and emotional depth, listeners experience history not as distant facts but as human stories with profound consequences that still resonate today.For the full experience, check out the YouTube channel featuring enhanced visuals with maps and historical photographs. Whether you're a Civil War buff or someone reconnecting with American history, this community-driven podcast supported by dedicated sponsors offers the perfect gateway to understanding the war that remade America.

**Discussion begins at 3:40**In January 1959, nine experienced Soviet hikers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute set off on a ski trek in the northern Ural Mountains, aiming to reach Mount Otorten. The group, led by Igor Dyatlov, consisted of eight men and two women, almost all in their early to mid-20s.  These experienced hikers were supposed to send a telegram at each checkpoint they reached.  The first telegram came, the second did not.  A search party went looking for them and on February 26, 1959, their abandoned campsite was discovered.  Inside the tents were neatly folded clothing, with gear left behind (ie., there may be one shoe in the tent but the other was. Missing).  The tent was slashed open from the inside.  Bodies were found in various locations, in various states of dress. The bodies had swapped clothing (for example, male clothing on the females and vice versa).  Six of the hikers cause of death was hypothermia, and the other 3 were killed d/t chest and head trauma.  What makes this even odder, is that he clothing revealed hgh levels of radiation.  Locals and soldiers reported strange orange lights in the night sky around this time.  And the decomposing bodies had orange tinted skin and grey hair.  The Soviet authorities initially ruled that the hikers died due to an "unknown compelling force".   The investigation was quickly closed, and the files were classified.  But what really happened?  Was it an avalanche, recent investigtions by the Russian government would have you believe?  Was the military somehow involved?  Could it have been a Yeti?  Or was there something more paranormal at play? Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

In this episode, Payton and Shayla revisit a fan-favorite topic from their very first—and still one of their most popular—episodes: The Theory of Ghosts. Two years later, they reflect on how some of their perspectives have shifted, while others remain as grounded as ever. They dive deep into the nature of ghosts, ghouls, evil spirits, and dark entities, questioning whether these beings are real or if they're manifestations born from human fear and negative energy. The conversation opens up thought-provoking ideas about how our own emotional and energetic states might play a role in creating or attracting these experiences. Plus, Payton shares his recent connection with an incredible Oracle Deck creator and offers a sneak peek into her powerful upcoming project—along with a hint that she'll be a future guest on the show.   Our Links: https://bit.ly/Souly-Links Follow us on Instagram: Shayla Within This Life Payton Blue Heron Medium Souly Souly Podcast

The Antarctica Effect is a series of stories from lost ecosystems and strange radio signals to pyramids that have been published as just happening, when a quick online search will prove that these same stories have appeared over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. In some instances going back over a decade in the case of the Antarctica pyramid. Due to its remoteness and extreme environment, few ever venture there with few exceptions for science or military projects. Several countries have territorial claims in the ice; others have research stations. It is the perfect location to set a science fiction story, a tale of desolation and horror, or a theory of UFOs and lost civilization. In 1936 H.P. Lovecraft published “At he Mountains of Madness”; two years later in 1938 a book called “Who Goes There?” was published; that same year Neuschwabenland was explored by Germany; in 1951 “The Thing from Another World” was released, based on the 1938 book, which lead to the 1982 movie “The Thing”; In 1998 The X Files movie released; and in 2008 a mocking documentary was published online with images that became source material for Antarctica conspiracy theories. Those theories expanded after Lake Vostok produced evidence of 3,500 different species, resulting in leading authorities visiting the icy world; this story was later substituted with authorities traveling to see the UFO in ice, the same one from that mocking documentary. Then whistleblowers surfaced talking about weapons and technology that were already public knowledge, leading to a thought that perhaps there is something there and people, for the wrong reasons, were getting close, thus requiring the presence of disinformation and misinformation agents, just as the pentagon used UFOs to cover up development of the F-117.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Is your birthday secretly the key to your true personality? A new viral study says yes—and listeners agree. According to the research, the number of the day you were born on (not the month or year!) reveals shockingly accurate insights into your biggest traits, career tendencies, and even your role in the world. From born leaders to visionary aliens, The Jubal Show breaks it all down with laughter, personal reactions, and a few skeptical side-eyes.

A human leg bone found near Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion has now been identified as part of a missing Massachusetts man, adding fuel to growing fears about a possible serial killer in New England.

In this urgent and thought-provoking episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom and co-host Drew dive headfirst into some of the most consequential geopolitical and domestic events unfolding right now. The conversation kicks off with escalating tensions in the Israel-Iran conflict, speculation about U.S. involvement, and global reactions to the prospect of another major war in the Middle East. With the world watching as superpowers and regional players clash over nuclear ambitions, Tom and Drew provide a nuanced and unflinching analysis of the moral dilemmas, double standards, and historical context driving events on the ground. Together, Tom and Drew untangle the complicated web of alliances, power imbalances, and ideological clashes between democratic West and theocratic regimes. They also examine the rise of anti-Semitism, the evolving narrative around Israel's actions in Gaza versus Iran, and the hypocrisy surrounding nuclear proliferation. The stakes are high, and the intense back-and-forth ensures listeners come away with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping today's headlines and tomorrow's future.

Understanding how power works might be the most underrated UX skill. Thomas Wilson shares ways to navigate power, bridge generational gaps, and influence decisions, even when you don't have direct control.Why do some designers influence major decisions while others get ignored? The answer might come down to how well you understand power.You can't influence what you don't understand. In this conversation, I sit down with Thomas Wilson to discuss the invisible structures that shape what gets built, who gets heard, and why some designers consistently seem to gain traction, even without a fancy title.We unpack what it means to navigate power inside organizations, how to build trust with people who don't think like you, and what “pushing back” looks like when done with empathy and strategy. Thomas also challenges the notion that power is something to be avoided or rejected. Instead, he frames it as a neutral force—one you can learn to work with instead of around.If you've ever felt stuck, sidelined, or frustrated by decisions that don't make sense, this episode will help you rethink how you operate—and show you that power, used well, can actually be a designer's ally.Topics:• 03:51 Understanding Power Dynamics in Organizations• 05:44 Types of Power in Business• 08:22 Strategies for Leveraging Power• 19:39 Tools for Influencing and Negotiation• 28:12 Power Mapping and Stakeholder Management• 36:47 Influence and Interest Matrix• 37:43 Generational Dynamics in the Workplace• 38:57 Diversity of Thought and Communication Styles• 41:34 Building Relationships and Trust• 43:41 Handling Workplace Conflicts• 48:48 Resources for Understanding PowerHelpful Links:• Connect with Thomas on LinkedIn—Thanks for listening!

Picking up where we left off, Part 2 of this fascinating episode with Rizwan Virk and Tom Bilyeu dives even deeper into the boundaries between science fiction and scientific reality. The discussion moves beyond simulation as a hypothesis and into the territories of time travel, alien intelligence, and the recurring patterns that mystics and religious traditions have long wrestled with. Rizwan opens up about the research behind his updated Simulation Hypothesis book, laying out how modern AI, quantum computing, and ancient spiritual wisdom might all be converging to update humanity's operating system. Tom challenges Rizwan on the reliability of self-reported mystical experiences and probes the intersection where memory, psychological illusion, and technological overlap might reveal a deeper structure to reality. Together, they dissect why we may be “meant” to learn certain lessons, what meaning and purpose look like if we're avatars with storylines, and how intuition and dreams might be signals from outside the “game.” SHOWNOTES 55:59 Simulation Saves, Replays, and Alternate Histories01:10:56 Can We Access the Rules?

The Left often invokes the media's power of persuasion to explain why people accept their situation within capitalism. But what if instead the system remains stable by “the dull compulsions” of economic life? In this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber discusses the difference between consent and coercion, the real role of the media, and the conditions for organized resistance. Confronting Capitalism with Vivek Chibber is produced by Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy, and published by Jacobin. Music by Zonkey.

What if reality is not what it seems? In this mind-expanding episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sits down with entrepreneur, MIT grad, investor, and bestselling author Rizwan Virk, known for his work on simulation theory and the intersection of technology, consciousness, and spirituality. Together, they explore profound questions about the nature of existence, consciousness, and whether our universe might be a sophisticated simulation. Virk shares insights from his personal experiences and research, referencing everything from quantum mechanics and near-death experiences to religious metaphors and the immersive power of video games. Tom and Rizwan navigate the philosophical and scientific landscape—debating the nature of the soul, the mysterious coherence of near-death accounts, and the possibility that ancient wisdom might have been trying to communicate truths later echoed by modern technology.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, Tom takes us on a gripping, fast-paced deep dive into the AI revolution—a force that's speeding toward us faster and more radically than any technological shift in history. From jobs and relationships to economics and warfare, Tom breaks down how artificial intelligence is set to transform every aspect of our lives in the next two years—and why the changes will be more intense than anything we've seen before. Drawing parallels to game-changing moments like the invention of the printing press, the dawn of electricity, and the birth of the Internet, Tom explores why this moment is different: the world's superpowers are locked in an AI-driven arms race, and the stakes couldn't be higher. He uncovers the potential chaos and opportunities of this new era, explains how history's lessons on disruptive technology can guide us, and shares five essential steps you can take to not only survive but thrive—no matter how wild the ride gets.
