My buddy Andrew Davis is back on the pod, and this time we're talking about aliens — yes, that kind. Andrew is a process philosopher who's been publishing serious academic work in astrobiology, and with Obama casually confirming UFOs are real, the Age of Disclosure documentary making waves, and Spielberg's Disclosure Day film on the way, it felt like the right time to ask: how does a Whiteheadian process thinker engage the question of extraterrestrial life? Turns out, with a lot more philosophical firepower than you'd expect. We dig into Andrew's critical engagement with Steven Dick's cosmo-theology and why he thinks Dick is right that humanity is cosmologically peripheral but wrong to draw the metaphysical conclusion that we're therefore insignificant — because we're an anthropo-cosmic expression of what this universe is doing, not an accident in it. Andrew introduces his concept of exo-axiology (the philosophical exploration of value beyond Earth), and we get into why Whitehead's philosophy of organism flips the modern assumption that the universe is fundamentally dead and life is the weird anomaly. For Whitehead, life, mind, and value go all the way down — which means if you rewind evolution on another planet with the right conditions, something like us might show up again, not because it's designed for us, but because the universe is in the business of producing aesthetic intensities. We tackle the Fermi Paradox, the Dark Forest hypothesis, whether aliens would be hostile or hospitable (Andrew's a cosmological optimist who thinks any civilization advanced enough to reach us would've had to undergo a spiritual evolution to get past the bottleneck), plasma intelligence, UAPs, and why we should take people's encounter experiences seriously without being naive about them. Phil Clayton apparently thinks Andrew is the David Ray Griffin of this generation, so take that for what it's worth — it's worth a lot. Also, if you've had a weird encounter story and want to share it, send it to me. I'm collecting them.

Behaving rationally involves facing up to conditions of uncertainty; we never navigate the world with perfect confidence. Sometimes we are uncertain about the way the world is, but we can also be uncertain about our place within the world. This kind of situation arises in cosmology (where the relevant world can extend very far in space or time), and also in quantum mechanics (where new worlds might be created at any measurement), but also when we are simply unsure about the future history of humanity or whether we live in a computer simulation. I talk with philosopher Adam Elga about how to deal with these unique kinds of uncertainties. Upgrade your denim game with Rag & Bone!

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! Magician On Duty welcomes a new chapter in its Journey Series with a deeply evocative episode from COTU (Citizen of the Universe) (@cotusounds) — a DJ and producer whose work treats electronic music less as genre and more as lived experience. COTU's story reads like liner notes written in motion. Born in the Far East of Russia, shaped by distance and displacement, he carries the worldview of a true outsider — curious, searching, and untethered. His musical awakening came not in a studio, but at dawn: New Year's Day 2017, at Thailand's SIMIRAM Festival on Koh Phangan. A wooden dance floor hovered above the sea, visuals rippled across stone, fire dancers moved against the dark, and a violin cut through the air as the sun rose. It was there, in that fleeting convergence of sound, light, and human connection, that music revealed itself not as entertainment, but as transformation. That revelation followed him west. In the United States, during a period marked by personal upheaval, COTU turned to DJing as a form of healing. What emerged was a sound rooted in intention — organic house, melodic techno, indie dance, downtempo — woven together with the patience of a narrator rather than the urgency of a performer. His sets unfold slowly, rewarding attention, blurring the line between the introspective and the ecstatic. Each mix is a passage through emotional terrain, guided by restraint, tension, and release. From underground warehouses and intimate club rooms to desert festivals and legendary countercultural gatherings, COTU has carried this ethos across continents. His presence is unforced, his selections deliberate — the kind of DJ who trusts silence as much as sound, and atmosphere as much as momentum. Radio platforms and global tastemakers have embraced his mixes for that very reason: they feel lived-in, cinematic, and quietly radical in their refusal to rush. In 2024, COTU extended this narrative into original production, releasing his own music and collaborating with like-minded artists while contributing remixes that deepen, rather than disrupt, the emotional arc of the source material. His productions echo the same philosophy as his DJ work — subtle, textured, and guided by feeling rather than formula. This new Magician On Duty Journey Series episode distills COTU's artistic identity into a single, fluid statement. It's a mix that invites surrender rather than spectacle — a slow-burn voyage designed for late nights, long drives, and inward moments. Less a peak-time declaration, more a reminder: the most powerful journeys happen when the music listens back.

Join me and my guest Pushkar Anand, the founder of the Centre for Infinite Riches®, a personal development educational digital platform with a presence in every continent. Often referred to as the Awakening Alchemist™, Pushkar led a $10 billion banking business at age thirty-five but is now living his purpose (dharma) of awakening one billion people. Educated at Cambridge and the London School of Economics, Pushkar was in the early stages of his banking career when a profound moment of insight led him to re-evaluate his life's expectations and priorities. Pushkar's quest spanned fifteen years, included numerous soul-searching experiences, studying more than 500 books, and learning directly from those who walked the path before him. SHOW NOTES SPONSORED BY: Power of You! https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this enlightening conversation, Blaine interviews Pushkar Anand, who shares his transformative journey from a successful banking career to a mission of awakening humanity. They discuss the essence of purpose, the soul's calling, and the principles outlined in Pushkar's book, Manifest Your Infinite Riches. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with one's soul, the four pillars of abundance, and the creation of a community dedicated to uplifting humanity. Pushkar's insights on spiritual alignment and the collective journey towards awakening resonate throughout the discussion, offering listeners a roadmap to manifest their own infinite riches. Takeaways The journey from intellect to soul is transformative. Purpose is the calling of the soul, guiding our actions. Living in harmony with your soul is essential for fulfillment. The book aims to help others manifest their riches faster. Abundance is a way of life that should be embraced. Community is vital for collective awakening and growth. The four pillars of abundance are foundational to success. Spiritual harmony leads to material and spiritual wealth. Awakening humanity is a shared responsibility. Listening to the soul's voice is key to discovering purpose. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The supreme being of classical theism is unlimited in power, knowledge, and goodness – a being distinct from the world, who creates it out of nothing and governs it from beyond. On this picture, we are not identical with God. God's consciousness is not our consciousness – and our identity is not theirs. That picture has long been challenged by schools of Hindu philosophy and, more recently, by Western philosophies of religion that reject traditional conceptions of God. In response to the problem of evil, some philosophers now argue that if there is a creator, then that creator must be limited in power. Advaita's challenge is more radical. It doesn't just revise the traditional conception of God – it dissolves it. Where classical theism draws a sharp distinction between God and the world, Advaita says that reality is non-dual. The divine is not something separate from us or from the universe, but the underlying reality that appears as both. To explore these competing visions of the supreme being, reality, and our place within it, I'm joined by three guests. Returning to The Panpsycast for the fifth time is Philip Goff, Professor of Philosophy at Durham University. As listeners will remember, Philip is the author of several brilliant books – including Galileo's Error and, more recently, Why? The Purpose of the Universe. David Godman is a leading author, best known for his work on the Hindu sage, Sri Ramana Maharshi. And last but not least, Miri Albahari is Senior Lecturer at The University of Western Australia – where her work explores the metaphysics and epistemology of Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. What is gained – and what is lost – when God is no longer unlimited, or is no longer separate from the world? Can these alternatives still ground mind, meaning, and morality? And by what means could we come to know such a reality – and decide between these rival conceptions of God? This episode is generously supported by The John Templeton Foundation, through The Panpsychism and Pan(en)theism Project (62683).

Sometimes our biggest manifesting obstacle is that we know too much ... When we know our debt is real, our body isn't changing, or our desire just isn't happening, that knowing sends a signal to Universe that's hard to override. If you're knowing unhelpful things, here are five practical ways to loosen your grip on the reality you know too well. (Inlcuding switching subjects entirely, to borrowing someone else's belief, to getting just a little bit less specific about what you think you know.) If you've ever felt stuck because you simply "knew" too much, this one's for you.
Today Jonathan and Gary are joined by Nebula, World Fantasy, and five-time Hugo Award winner Michael Swanwick to discuss the origins of some of his stories, the life and craft of the professional writer, and his extraordinary new short story collection, The Universe Box. As always, our thanks to Michael for making time to talk to us. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

At Jesus' Crucifixion and Death, the “Temple Veil” Was Torn; After Jesus Easter Resurrection, You Now Pray Directly with God MESSAGE SUMMARY: Think about the magnitude of your direct and personal access to God that your prayers give you, through Jesus, if you will only pray. Before Jesus, ordinary people did not have direct access to God, through the Throne Room of God, with a direct personal relationship with God. In Old Testament times, people would come to the priests; and the priest would offer up a sacrifice on behalf of the people. The priests, and not the people, were communing directly with God. On Good Friday and at Jesus death on the cross, the “Temple Veil” was torn from top to bottom (i.e. “Temple Vail” was a large, very thick, and very heavy barrier that divided that portion of the Temple accessible by those wishing to sacrifice for prayer and the “Holy of Holies” where the only the High Priest could meet with God and pray on behalf of the people of God.). At Jesus Resurrection, no longer was an intermediary (e.g., a Priest) required for direct prayer with God by the people in Christ (i.e. Jesus Followers). Because Jesus created a New Covenant relationship with His followers, now your prayers are in direct communion with God, the Creator of the Universe. Everyone, who is in Christ, may have access to the Throne Room of God in the name of Jesus. What a privilege this direct access to God is for those who are in Christ. The author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 4:16, tells Jesus Followers that, because of the Gospel, you have direct access to God's “throne of Grace” for your needs: “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.". TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

In this episode of Casual Chats, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1987 live action film Masters of the Universe based on the 1983 animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated and produced by Filmation based on the toys. In the planet Eternia, He-Man, Man of Arms, Teela, and a new character named Gwildor are fighting the evil minions of Skeletor to prevent him from taking over Castle Grayskull. Gwildor's invention, the Cosmic Key, is able to travel to different dimensions across the galaxies. Skeletor sends his soldiers to capture them to retrieve the device, but Gwildor uses it for them to escape to another planet in another dimension: Earth. Meanwhile, a teenage girl and her boyfriend get caught in the fight of He-Man and Skeletor finding the Cosmic Key.When the film premiered in theaters, it made $17 million dollars out of $22 million dollar budget with negative reviews from critics calling it a Star Wars and Conan the Barbarian ripoff with He-Man plastered on it. Over the years, it has gained a cult following for its campy humor and offbeat depictions of He-Man and Skeletor. What did Arun and Patricia think of this film?
Are you tired of constantly striving, feeling 'soul tired' and exhausted by the demands of life? Our new series, "Greater Than," dives into the powerful book of Hebrews to show you that everything you've been chasing is a lesser substitute for the one thing that can truly hold your life together: Jesus. In the first two weeks, we explore why Jesus is greater than the prophets, who only delivered fragments of God's message, and why He is greater than Moses and the Law of "work to get rest." Discover the key to stopping the drift, receiving "soul rest," and living a life anchored in the truth that the Builder of the Universe has already finished the work for your salvation.
Ben and Rob head back to Forks for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third (and somehow most openly unhinged) entry in the glittery supernatural mega-franchise. The one where the love triangle becomes a war movie, the subtext becomes text, and everyone suddenly starts giving speeches like they're in a fantasy epic instead of a rainy teen melodrama. Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner (now operating at full shirtless protector mode), Eclipse finds Bella caught between eternal vampiric marriage and extremely mortal werewolf abs, while Seattle is being terrorised by an army of newborn vampires and the franchise quietly pivots into X-Men: Forks Edition.But what is Eclipse, exactly? A romance? A war film? A lore dump disguised as a graduation party? Why does this chapter feel like the moment the series decides it has important things to say especially when the Mormon coded themes of chastity, marriage, and forever commitment stop being coy and basically grab a megaphone? Mormon Subtext becomes Mormon TEXT, and Ben and Rob dig into how that shift reshapes Bella's choices and the series' worldview.Along the way: questionable battle strategies, bizarre backstories, accidental comedy, and the way Eclipse retroactively changes how the whole franchise works. Which choices genuinely land? Which feel baffling? And which make you pause the movie just to ask if that's how that really works?Most importantly, beneath the speeches, the slow-motion running, and the aggressively chaste yearning, what does Eclipse really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Money-Talk.mp3 Quick Answers What is Biblical Stewardship? It is the recognition that God owns everything, and we are merely managers of His resources. It shifts the burden of "providing" from your shoulders to His. Is money the root of all evil? No. Scripture says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Money itself is morally neutral; it is a tool that reveals where your heart truly lies. Will more money solve my anxiety? Likely not. Anxiety often scales with income. True peace comes from trusting the Provider, not the size of the provision. How do I start budgeting with my spouse? Separate the "business" of the budget from the "romance" of the relationship. Don't ruin date night with a spreadsheet; schedule a specific time to talk numbers. Why is tithing important? It isn't about paying the church's light bill; it's a spiritual discipline that breaks the grip of greed and reminds us who the true Owner is. The Weight of the Wallet Man, we have all been there. You open the banking app on your phone, and your stomach drops. The number isn't what you thought it was. Suddenly, the transmission on the truck sounds a little clunky, the kids need braces, and you feel that familiar tightening in your chest. The world tells men that their worth is directly tied to their net worth. If you can provide, you are a success. If you are struggling, you are a failure. That pressure is crushing, and it keeps millions of men awake at night, staring at the ceiling, doing mental math that never seems to add up. But here is the hard truth: the anxiety you feel about money often has very little to do with the actual amount in your account. We assume that if we just hit that "magic number"—the next raise, the paid-off mortgage, the lottery win—the fear will vanish. It won't. The only thing that truly alleviates financial anxiety is a fundamental shift in perspective. We have to move from a mindset of ownership to a mindset of Biblical Stewardship. When you realize you aren't the owner of the resources, but merely the manager, the pressure begins to lift. Defining the Terms: What is Biblical Stewardship? In church circles, we hear the word "stewardship" and immediately clutch our wallets because we assume it's code for "the pastor needs a new roof." But Biblical Stewardship is far more expansive and liberating than just a Sunday offering. Biblical Stewardship is the theological belief that God is the owner of everything—your money, your house, your car, your talent, and even your next breath. Psalm 24:1 is clear: "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." If you are the "owner" of your life, then every financial hit is a personal attack on your security. If the market crashes, you lost. If the water heater breaks, your kingdom is crumbling. That is a heavy burden to carry. However, if you embrace Biblical Stewardship, your role shifts. You are now the asset manager for the Creator of the Universe. Your job isn't to hoard or to worry; your job is to ask, "Lord, how do You want me to manage these resources You have entrusted to me for this season?" The success of the "fund" ultimately rests on His sovereignty, not your striving. The Great Misquote: Money vs. The Heart To understand Biblical Stewardship, we have to clear up one of the most common lies men believe. You have probably heard someone say, "Well, money is the root of all evil." That is technically incorrect. The Apostle Paul actually wrote to Timothy that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). There is a massive difference. Money is just paper and metal. It has no moral agency. It can be used to traffic humans, or it can be used to build orphanages. The money isn't evil; the heart handling it is where the danger lies. When we fail to practice Biblical Stewardship, we start to love the gift more than the Giver. We look to the bank account for the security and peace that only God can provide. That is when money becomes an idol. And like all idols, it will eventually crush its worshippers. True Biblical Stewardship requires us to hold money with an open hand. We respect it as a tool, but we refuse to worship it as a god. The "Just A Little More" Trap You might be thinking, "That's all great theology, but I have real bills. If I just had an extra $10,000 a year, I wouldn't be stressed." Don't be so sure. The podcast hosts discussed a phenomenon that every financial advisor has seen: the moving goalpost. You can talk to a man making $40,000 a year, and he is stressed. You can talk to a man making $400,000 a year, and he is also stressed. The lifestyle inflates to match the income. The guy making minimum wage worries about rent; the guy making millions worries about the stock market or losing his empire. There is a story of a billionaire who was asked, "How much money is enough?" His answer? "Just one more dollar." Without Biblical Stewardship grounding you, "enough" is a horizon you can never reach. You will chase it until you are in the grave. The practice of Biblical Stewardship teaches us contentment. It reminds us that our provision comes from the Lord, not from our hustle. It allows a man to look at what he has—whether it is little or much—and say, "Thank You, Lord. How should we use this?" rather than, "It's not enough." Practical Steps to Biblical Stewardship So, how do we move this from a theological concept to a Tuesday morning reality? Biblical Stewardship is practical. It shows up in how we budget, how we spend, and how we talk to our spouses. 1. The Budget is a Spiritual Tool If you don't know where your money is going, you aren't managing God's resources; you are losing them. Biblical Stewardship requires a plan. It's not about being a penny-pincher; it's about being intentional. Sit down and look at the numbers. Be honest. Ignoring the debt won't make it disappear. God can't bless a mess that you refuse to look at. By creating a budget, you are telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. 2. Separate Finance from Romance Money is the number one cause of divorce. Why? Because we mix the stress of the bills with the intimacy of the relationship. Here is a pro-tip from the podcast: Don't do the budget on date night. Date night is for connection, dreaming, and enjoying each other. If you bring up the credit card bill over appetizers, the night is over. Schedule a separate "business meeting" for the household. During that meeting, practice Biblical Stewardship together. Pray over the bills. Ask God for wisdom. Then, when date night comes, leave the spreadsheet at home. 3. Build Margin for the Broken World A key component of Biblical Stewardship is preparation. The podcast noted that many men live "vacation to vacation" rather than preparing for the inevitable emergencies. If you spend every dime you make, you are presuming on the future. When the transmission blows or the medical emergency hits, you are forced into debt, which creates more anxiety. Biblical Stewardship involves the wisdom of the ant (Proverbs 6:6)—storing up in the summer so you are ready for the winter. Building an emergency fund isn't hoarding; it's responsible management that protects your family from the unexpected. The Tithing Question You can't talk about Biblical Stewardship without talking about giving. Why does God ask us to give? Does He need our money? No. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He doesn't need your check to keep the lights on in heaven. God commands us to give because He knows how easily money can grip our hearts. Giving is the antidote to greed. When you write that tithe check or support that missionary, you are physically declaring, "God, I trust You more than I trust this money." It is an act of rebellion against the scarcity mindset of the world. Some men get hung up on the "net vs. gross" argument or the specific percentages. They miss the heart of Biblical Stewardship. The goal isn't to check a legalistic box; the goal is to develop a generous spirit that mimics the generosity of God. As the podcast mentioned, we shouldn't just think about "paying the church's electric bill." We are investing in the Kingdom. From Anxiety to Trust The transition to Biblical Stewardship is rarely instant. It is a journey. You will have months where you fail. You will have moments where the fear grips you again. But the more you practice this mindset, the more you will find a strange, settled peace. You will realize that your identity isn't in your bank balance. You will stop looking at your neighbor's new truck with envy because you know you are running a different race. You will find joy in being a conduit of blessing rather than just a reservoir of cash. God wants you to be free. He doesn't want you enslaved to debt or paralyzed by the fear of the future. He invites you into the partnership of Biblical Stewardship so that you can experience the joy of trusting Him. When the bills stack up, take a deep breath. Remind yourself: "I am a manager, not the owner. God, show me what to do with what I have." A Challenge for the Steward This week, take one step toward Biblical Stewardship. Maybe it's finally opening that scary envelope from the bank. Maybe it's setting up a time to talk to your wife about the budget without fighting. Maybe it's giving something away just to prove to yourself that money doesn't own you. The world says, "Get all you can, can all you get, and sit on the can." But you aren't called to be like the world. If you are going to be something, be uncommen. Check out our other resources in our library. Follow Our Podcast on Apple | Spotify

Science can feel isolating when you don't see yourself reflected around you. This episode brings together two stories about the search for representation, connection, and belonging in STEM.Part 1: Graduate student Angelique Allen doesn't fully understand the strong connection she feels to the 2015 animated film Home. Part 2: Growing up in segregated 1950s Baltimore, Ken Phillips learns early who society says he can't be. Angelique Allen is a graduate student at the University of Oregon, the founder of Dreams of a Scientist, and an aspiring dirtbag. She spends most of her time thinking about science, with a focus on researching octopus brains and creating art that helps integrate science into society. She spends the rest of her time sleeping in the back of her car, climbing rocks, and doing anything she possibly can to see a sea slug (including but not limited to SCUBA diving, snorkeling, and tidepooling). To follow along her scientific journey (and see what her elderly cat is up to) check her out on instagram @angeliques.outthere. Ken Phillips has served as Curator of Aerospace Science at the California Science Center in Los Angeles since 1990 and is responsible for shaping its exhibits and programs in aeronautics and space exploration. In 1991, he began planning a display of a flown space shuttle orbiter that culminated in NASA awarding the Space Shuttle Endeavour to the California Science Center two decades later. He is now working toward the opening of the 200,000 square-foot Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center for which groundbreaking occurred in June 2022. Ken has taught numerous courses in astrophysics, planetary geology, and space exploration to primary and secondary school students, and is an adjunct professor of the practice of physics and astronomy at the University of Southern California (USC) where he teaches the freshman seminar entitled “The Space Shuttle and our Place in the Universe.” Through the USC Prison Education Program, he also teaches introductory astronomy to students in correctional facilities. He received his bachelor's in physics from North Carolina A&T State University, a master's in general engineering from the University of Wisconsin, and a doctorate in environmental engineering from The Johns Hopkins University. Ken loves model trains, swimming, and bull dogs!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Markus Buehler, the McAfee Professor of Engineering at MIT, to explore how seemingly different systems—from proteins and music to knowledge structures and AI reasoning—share underlying patterns through hierarchy, self-organization, and scale-free networks. The conversation ranges from the limits of current AI interpolation versus true discovery (using the fire-to-fusion example), to the emergence of agent swarms and their non-linear effects, to practical questions about ontologies, knowledge graphs, and whether humans will remain necessary in the creative discovery process. Markus discusses his lab's work automating scientific discovery through AI agents that can generate hypotheses, run simulations, and even retrain themselves, while Stewart shares his own experiences building applications with AI coding agents and grapples with questions about intellectual property, material science constraints, and the future of human creativity in an AI-abundant world.Timestamps00:00 - Introduction to Marcus Buehler's work on knowledge graphs, structural grammar across proteins, music, and AI reasoning05:00 - Discussion of AI discovery versus interpolation, using fire and fusion as examples of fundamental versus incremental innovation10:00 - Language models as connective glue between agents, enabling communication despite imperfect outputs and canonical averaging15:00 - Embodiment and agency in AI systems, creating adversarial agents that challenge theories and expand world models20:00 - Emergent properties in materials and AI, comparing dislocations in metals to behaviors in agent swarms25:00 - Human role-playing and phase separation in society, parallels to composite materials and heterogeneity30:00 - Physical world challenges, atom-by-atom manufacturing at MIT.nano, limitations of lithography machines35:00 - Synthetic biology as alternative to nanotechnology, programming microorganisms for materials discovery40:00 - Intellectual property debates, commodification of AI models, control layers more valuable than model architecture45:00 - Automation of ontologies, agent self-testing, daughter's coding success at age 1150:00 - Graph theory for knowledge compression, neurosymbolic approaches combining symbolic and neural methods55:00 - Nonlinear acceleration in AI, emergence from accumulated innovations, restaurant owner embracing AI01:00:00 - Future generations possibly rejecting AI, democratization of knowledge, social media as real-time scientific discourseKey Insights1. Universal Patterns Across Disciplines: Seemingly different systems in nature—proteins, music, social networks, and knowledge itself—share fundamental structural patterns including hierarchy, self-organization, and scale-free networks. This commonality allows creative thinkers to draw insights across disciplines, applying principles from one domain to solve problems in another. As an engineer and materials scientist, Buehler has leveraged these isomorphisms to advance scientific understanding by mapping the "plumbing" of different systems onto each other, revealing hidden relationships that enable extrapolation beyond what's observable in any single domain.2. The Discovery Versus Interpolation Problem: Current AI systems, particularly large language models, excel at interpolation—recombining existing knowledge in new ways—but struggle with genuine discovery that requires fundamental rewiring of world models. Using the example of fire versus fusion, Buehler explains that an AI trained on combustion chemistry would propose bigger fires or new fuels, but couldn't conceive of fusion because that requires stepping back to more fundamental physics. True discovery demands the ability to recognize when existing theories have boundaries and to develop entirely new frameworks, something current AI architectures aren't designed to achieve due to their training objective of predicting the most likely outcome.3. The Role of Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs: While some AI researchers argue that ontologies are unnecessary because models form internal representations, Buehler advocates for explicit knowledge graphs as essential discovery tools. External ontologies provide sharp, analytical, symbolic representations that complement the fuzzy internal representations of neural networks. They enable verification of rare connections—like obscure papers that might hold key insights—which would be averaged away in standard AI training. This neurosymbolic approach combines the generalization capabilities of neural networks with the precision of formal knowledge structures, creating more powerful discovery systems.4. Emergent Properties and Agent Swarms: Just as materials science shows that collections of atoms exhibit properties impossible to predict from individual components, AI agent swarms demonstrate emergent behaviors beyond single models. When agents are incentivized not just to answer questions but to challenge each other adversarially, propose theories, and test hypotheses, they can spawn new copies of themselves and evolve understanding beyond their initial programming. This emergence isn't surprising from a materials science perspective—dislocations, grain boundaries, and other collective phenomena only appear at scale, fundamentally determining material behavior in ways unpredictable from studying just a few atoms.5. The Commoditization of Intelligence: The fundamental AI models themselves are becoming commodities, as evidenced by events like the Moldbug phenomenon where people built agents using various providers interchangeably. The real value is shifting from who has the smartest model to how models are orchestrated, integrated, and deployed. This parallels historical technology adoption patterns—just as we moved past debating who makes the best electricity to focusing on applications, AI is transitioning from a horse race over model capabilities to questions of infrastructure, energy, access speed, and agent coordination at the systems level.6. Human-AI Collaboration and Creative Control: Rather than wholesale replacement, AI enables humans to operate in an intensely creative space as orchestrators sampling from vast possibility spaces. Similar to how Buehler's 11-year-old daughter now builds sophisticated applications that would have required professional developers years ago, AI democratizes access to capabilities while humans retain the creative judgment about direction and meaning. The human role becomes curating emergence, finding rare connections, playing at the edges of knowledge, and exercising the kind of curiosity-driven exploration that AI systems lack without embodied stakes in their own survival and continuation.7. Technology as Evolutionary Inevitability: The development of AI represents not an unnatural threat but the next stage of human evolution—an extension of our innate drive to build models of ourselves and our world. From cave paintings to partial differential equations to artificial intelligence, humans continuously create increasingly sophisticated representations and tools. Attempting to stop this technological evolution is futile; instead, the focus should be on steering it ...

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk with author, spiritual intuitive, oracle expert, and artist Colette Baron-Reid about her new book - The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality.We discuss Colette's AM Method (Art of Manifesting ) - which uses doodles, circles, lines, and gratitude bubbles - and how it brings together the power of neuroscience, spirituality, and creativity in a practical, grounded, and embodied way!These are beginner friendly and simple practices that can also help you to regulate your nervous system, rewire your brain, and release anxiety. Yay!Plus, they can open you up to synchronicity by teaching you a new way to co-create with the Universe and participate in a life that feels meaningful, aligned, and full of wonder!We also unpack why some of the old-school ways that manifestation has been talked about and taught can feel suspiciously off, and how Colette's approach offers a more intuitive, heart-centered, and playful path.If you've ever felt skeptical about all this manifestation stuff, have struggled with anxiety, perfectionism, or just holding on a little too tight to the way you think things should look…This episode will give you a new perspective on co-creation and introduce you to some wicked fun tools that you'll be so excited to use! ❤️COLETTE BARON-REID BIO:Colette Baron-Reid is an internationally respected author of 8 books, an educator, a spiritual intuitive and medium, and an oracle expert.She's published 19 Oracle Decks that have sold over 2 million copies and her best-selling books and oracle cards are published worldwide in 27 languages.She is the founder of Oracle School, a global online learning platform with students in 35 countries, where self-empowerment, co-creation, and ancient oracles meet in a modern, contemporary way.Colette is also the creator of the energy psychology technique Invision - The Total Mindshift Process.

God Is Your Heavenly Father; and You Can Speak to Him, in Prayer, as if He Were Your Earthly Father MESSAGE SUMMARY: God is your Heavenly Father and the Creator of the Universe; however, you can talk to Him as your father, and remember that He loves you. Imagine climbing up into His lap and imagine Him wrapping His arms around you – He is God your loving father. As God tells you in 2 Samuel 7:14-15: “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.". You need to start talking to God as the best dad there could ever be. Talk to Him about your life; your concerns; and your needs. You need to ask God for His counsel, and you need to ask Him questions regarding His will for your life. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, you know how difficult it is for me to be in silence before you. At times it feels almost impossible, given the demands, distractions, and noise all around me. I invite you to lead me to a quiet, silent place before you — to a place where I can hear you as Elijah did. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 123). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

God created all of the visible world in richness, diversity, and order, and everything owes its existence to God. Because all of creation comes from God, every creature has its own goodness and perfection and God wills the interdependence of all creatures. Father Mike helps us to see that God gave us the world for our use, but not for our abuse. Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God and we are charged with caring for the natural world and all of its creatures. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 337-343.
