Today, I'm sharing the other half of my conversation with Dr. Andrea Moore. In the previous episode, I interviewed Dr. Andrea about her work. Dr. Andrea has her own chronic pain story, and she now helps those suffering from chronic pain find harmony and safety within their bodies. Today's bonus episode is a replay from her podcast, Unweaving Chronic Pain, where she interviewed me. Dr. Andrea and I explore the interaction between mind and body, especially when chronic pain is persistent. We address common misconceptions and highlight the importance of setting realistic goals that respect our current limitations. The conversation sheds light on the potential of incremental healing and the value of celebrating small victories for sustainable progress in managing fibromyalgia. In this candid discussion, we also cover the various symptoms associated with this condition and the range of solutions that can provide relief. Topics include the role of the subconscious in personal growth, the high incidence of sleep apnea in fibromyalgia patients, and the importance of a holistic approach to treatment. The episode concludes with an invitation to view our bodies as allies in our health journey, emphasizing that every step forward, no matter how small, is progress towards reclaiming our well-being.

Masterclass: https://welcome.drandreamoore.com/powermasterclass Find me on IG: www.instagram.com/drandreamoore schedule a consult call: www.drandreamoore.com/schedule Join me on a personal exploration of growth and self-discovery as I reflect on the profound lessons learned since last October. Time may fly by, but it's in these moments we can truly embrace who we are, shedding layers we didn't even know we wore. From confronting unrecognized people-pleasing tendencies to reaffirming my core approach to pain that's been honed through my doctorate in physical therapy and this very podcast, I unravel the intricacies of self-awareness and how respect for others is sometimes misinterpreted as a lack of authenticity. Listen in as we navigate the evolving landscape of physical therapy, addressing the complex relationship between emotional well-being and physical health. I share insights from my early career optimism to a more nuanced understanding that pain removal isn't the sole key to unlocking life's potential. Moreover, the conversation highlights the importance of recognizing our body's signals without judgment and the irony that fighting against pain or fatigue often only intensifies it. This journey calls for a delicate balance of addressing our physiological needs while fostering the resilience of the human spirit. Finally, discover the transformative power of redefining our relationship with pain, anxiety, or depression. Through the lens of my 'Pain to Power' program, we examine the shift from merely avoiding discomfort to actively pursuing life-enhancing goals. I share a compelling case study of a client with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome who focused on strength over pain relief to achieve her aspirations. And, if you're considering embarking on a healing journey, you're invited to join a community that thrives on support and compassion, where every step forward is a step towards reclaiming life beyond pain.

Expect to uncover the depths of a world where magic skirts the boundaries of damnation, and warfare leaves its indelible mark upon lands and souls alike. Together, we analyze the weight of decisions borne by characters who dare to harness sorcery, and the philosophical tangles of free will versus destiny that challenge our own perceptions of reality.As the holiday cheer contrasts with the somber tones of Bakker's universe, we share personal anecdotes and laugh over our eclectic reading habits. Our discussion journeys through the nuances of manipulation and identity within the series' complex relationships, transforming the tale into a mirror of human intricacies. The episode's pulse quickens with a captivating breakdown of a star cellist's showdown, where strategy and skill fuse into a symphony of suspense, urging listeners to ponder the allure and the peril of power wielded without a face.To cap off our session, we venture beyond the boundaries of Bakker's creation, drawing parallels with the Malazan Book Series. Here, we examine the delicate balance between knowledge and mystery, fate and self-determination. Join us in sifting through layers of narrative that invite debate, challenging the very essence of what we believe to be true about the world we inhabit and the worlds we imagine. Unravel the tapestry of a fantasy realm where every revelation ignites a hunger for the next, and every philosophical musing resonates with the echoes of our own existence.PageChewing.comPAGECHEWING: Comics & Manga PodcastFilm Chewing PodcastBuy me a coffeeLinktreeJoin Riverside.fm

An analysis of Lamia. As a further note, this poem would influence Richard Dawkin's book title "Unweaving the Rainbow." And would also influence Edgar Allen Poe to write his Sonnet on Science. And for those of you who are squeamish about the topic of rape being thrown around so lightly, that's unfortunately a part of Greek and Roman culture, and a part of their religion. And Keats was trying to make an authentic episode for Metamorphoses, which I think he accomplished. But, this is why I prefer Christianity, as the Ten Commandments seem more palpable to a rational creature. But, let's meditate on the fact that in Ovid's days, rape was acceptable in the circumstance that the rape was perpetrated by someone of a higher class. And let's understand that Hume's moral argument is woefully inadequate for that reason, and that's one of the reasons we need God's Law.
In this episode, Isabella interviews interdisciplinary artist and weaver Raisa Kabir. The pair talk about Raisa's weaving practice, the tangled relationship between textiles and colonialism, and all sorts of looms.Images and sources are available at @sewwhatpodcast on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Richard Dawkins has been quoted as saying, “The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable.” Many agree with him and have referred to wonder as the beginning of wisdom, the seed of science, and the basis of men's desire to understand. When we are little, most of us are filled with wonder and experience it often. However, we tend to lose our sense of wonder as we age into adults. On today's episode of POTC, Dr. Frank Keil, author of Wonder, talks with Jill about why it's so important to encourage a sense of wonder in younger generations and reconnect with our own sense of wonder as well. Join us in this episode to break cycles of over-imitation, learn about important research on wonder and well-being, engage in deeper, more interesting conversations, and so much more, today! Listen and Learn: Jill and Yael discuss the difference between wonder and curiosity Frank expertly defines wonder and provides some insight as to its history The research-backed reasons why we lose our natural sense of wonder over time Practical, evidence-based advice on fostering the continuance of wonder for your little ones Negative consequences of losing your sense of wonder The positive outcomes related to wondering with others Over-imitating - what it is, how it works, and why we continue to do it How wonder lends itself to compassion and understanding Frank's favorite findings from his research on wonder Expert-approved strategies on reconnecting with your sense of wonder as an adult Resources: Read Frank's books, Developmental Psychology: The Growth of Mind and Behavior and Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science! Check out Chris Ferrie's book, Quantum Physics for Babies Read Richard Dawkins' book, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder Check out Debbie, Yael, and Jill's websites to access their offerings, sign up for their newsletters, buy their books, and more! About Frank C. Keil is the Dilley Professor of Psychology, Linguistics, and Cognitive Science at Yale University. Much of his research involves asking how intuitive explanations and understandings emerge in development and how they function in adults. These topics are linked to broader questions of what concepts and explanations are, how they change with increasing expertise, how people understand the limits to their own knowledge and how they navigate the division of cognitive labor. Dr. Keil received a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania , a M.A. in Psychology from Stanford University, and a B.S. in Biology from MIT. He is the author of hundreds of articles and several books including Developmental Psychology: The Growth of Mind and Behavior, and most recently, Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science.

My guest today is Richard Dawkins. I assume most of you know who he is, but in case you've been living under a rock; Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist and emeritus fellow at Oxford University. If I listed all the awards he's received in his lifetime, this description will not end. His books include The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype, The Blind Watchmaker, The God Delusion, Unweaving the Rainbow, and many others. His latest book is called "Flights of Fancy: Defying Gravity by Design and Evolution" in which he explores and explains the phenomenon of flight both in the animal world and in manmade technology. We didn't get to discuss this book in this episode, but I really recommend you all check it out. In this episode, we discuss technological progress, whether race is a social construct or biological reality, the mystery of consciousness, the concept of a meme (which Richard invented), religion and its relationship to a happy life, whether wokeness plays the role of a religion in people's lives, and finally, Richard gives his advice to up and coming scientists. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is: Creative Writing Contest: The Winning Entries, published by Aaron Gertler on December 26, 2021 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We received a lot of strong submissions for the Creative Writing Contest, and we're thrilled to finally announce the winners. (I was the slowest judge — my bad.) This post lists the winners, and a few other notes. Note on private submissions Some winners originally shared their entries through a private form so that they could submit them elsewhere if they didn't win a prize. I've now cross-posted those entries, with the date of their original submission, so that everyone can read them. (I've used the Forum Archives account if the author didn't have a Forum account.) These newly available entries include our first-prize winner! First prize The $10,000 first prize goes to atb, for The Unweaving of a Beautiful Thing: It had been eighteen minutes since Death had arrived and the witch had refused to be taken. The spell was like spiderweb, intricate threads woven into the world, and Death had paused to admire it. They'd known that the witch might fight, for the powerful often greeted them with defiance. Fire had been flung at Death in every hue, while others they'd visited had attempted deceit, offering up innocents cloaked in their own guise. One wizard had tried a love spell, not understanding that Death already loved them all. But the witch's web was something new; it was an attempt to trap Death in its threads. It was elegant and audacious and cunning, and yet. “You are aware,” said Death, “that this approach will fail?” Second prizes We had promised that at least one of these prizes would go to a nonfiction entry, but we had two fiction entries in a perfect tie for second. As a result, we've added a third “second prize” to account for our highest-scoring nonfiction entry. These $3,000 prizes go to: Do Good Better, by Andrew Kao Counting the Living, by apprenticebard The Toba Supervolcanic Eruption, by Jackson Wagner Third prizes Because of the extra second prize, we're only awarding three “third prizes”. These $1,000 third prizes go to: The Detection, by Raymond D I See Dead Kids, by Eneasz Brodski Noumenon, by Ben Stewart Honorable mentions These eight entries earned a $250 Honorable Mention prize: The Sorcerer in Chains, by Swimmer Brighter than Today, by Raymond Arnold (referred by Dancer) 3524, by Andrew Smith A Social History of Shoes, by Lawrence Newport Via Negativa, by Anonymous Lemur What You Do, by Justis Utopia, lol?, by Jamie Wahls (referred by Andrew Clough) The Reset Button, by Joshua Ingle What's next for the winners? I've contacted the authors to let them know how they can collect their prizes. If you're a winner and didn't get an email, send me a DM. Because I'm no longer at CEA, I'll leave detailed plans to the next Content Specialist. But I do think we'll be widely sharing the entries on social media, and I expect that we may end up using them (with authors' permission) in some of our online resources. If you think any of this work should be read more widely, please share it yourself! Let's get these people the readers they deserve. Also: If you have any ideas for how CEA could make use of all this great writing, leave a comment or send me a message! Thanks for listening.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Unweaving of a Beautiful Thing, published by atb on December 26, 2021 on The Effective Altruism Forum. It had been eighteen minutes since Death had arrived and the witch had refused to be taken. The spell was like spiderweb, intricate threads woven into the world, and Death had paused to admire it. They'd known that the witch might fight, for the powerful often greeted them with defiance. Fire had been flung at Death in every hue, while others they'd visited had attempted deceit, offering up innocents cloaked in their own guise. One wizard had tried a love spell, not understanding that Death already loved them all. But the witch's web was something new; it was an attempt to trap Death in its threads. It was elegant and audacious and cunning, and yet. “You are aware,” said Death, “that this approach will fail?” The witch had turned forty a week before, and when she smiled, crow's feet appeared at the corner of her eyes. “You're right, it'll probably fail. Still, it's worth a try. Besides.” She trailed off, and Death finished the sentence for her, having heard the sentiment many times before, “Besides, you would rather go out fighting.” The witch frowned. “No, why would I.” She rolled her eyes. “Is that what other people say? You deal with a lot of morons, don't you?” Death did not comment. “It's beautiful,” the witch said, gesturing along the Melbourne laneway where they sat. Shoe-box cafes ran its length, tables spilling onto the pavement along with the smell of coffee. Graffiti turned the walls into a riot of colour, and the sound of milk steaming mingled with shouted orders and laughter and chatter. People strode along the alleyway, ducking in and out of cafes, oblivious to Death and the witch. “I suppose it has its own sort of beauty,” Death said. The witch nodded, plucking at the edges of her spell. “I plan to enjoy it for every minute I can buy myself.” Death sighed. “I do have others to visit.” “And every minute you spend with me is a minute that they too get to look for beauty.” The witch drummed her fingers on the table, before tilting her head. “You could just leave us alone, you know?” This strategy was familiar. Normally people would beg for a day or week or eternity, but though the witch showed unusual calm, the impulse was the same. “You are aware,” Death said again, “that this approach will fail?” The witch shrugged. “I'm aware you're not capable of questioning your purpose, but it's worth a try. Besides.” This time, when the witch trailed off, Death waited. The witch smiled. “Besides, it gained me a few seconds, didn't it?” “I suppose it did.” Death turned from the witch and studied the spell once more, testing its strength and tracing its lines. It had been twenty-one minutes since they'd arrived, and by their best guess, in nine minutes and fifty seconds more they would have the spell unpicked. Their hands began to flow. The witch's spell was elegant, but Death unweaved it with a speed that no mortal could match. They did not enjoying doing so, but they did not allow this fact to slow them. Enjoyment was not the point. Still, they were disappointed when the spell withered faster than expected. Nine minutes and fifty seconds they'd guessed, but just six minutes had passed when they were ready to break the final strand. They paused, half hoping the witch would say something to delay the end, but she just smiled and sipped a coffee she'd ordered while Death had been busy. Death sighed. They made the final gesture. “Oh fuck,” Death said, as everything went wrong. The web of the spell snapped back, threads that had been unweaved stitching themselves into the world once more. Only, this time, Death had been enmeshed with the disintegrating spell and, as it regrew, it ensnared much of their power. Death reflected on this fact. “That was devious,” they s...
Humanity is evolving, into a new way of being. And each of us has the power to weave the next version of life and existence. In this fully channeled episode *The Crew* speak about the flow toward being edgeless, and how the expansion of our own self is creating a new blueprint for humanity and life here in this world.

Critically-acclaimed author and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and world-renowned theoretical physicist and author Lawrence Krauss discuss biology, cosmology, religion, and a host of other topics at this event entitled 'Something for Nothing'. This video was recorded at The Australian National University on 10 April 2012. Richard Dawkins FRS is the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford. Born in British colonial Africa, he was educated in England, where he now lives. He did his doctorate at Oxford under the Nobel Prize winning zoologist Niko Tinbergen, then was briefly an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1967 to 1969, after which he returned to Oxford, first as a Lecturer in Zoology, then Reader, before being elected to his present professorship. He is the author of nine books: The Selfish Gene (1976, 2nd Ed 1989), The Extended Phenotype (1982), The Blind Watchmaker (1986), River Out of Eden (1995), Climbing Mount Improbable (1996), Unweaving the Rainbow (1998), A Devil's Chaplain (2003), The Ancestor's Tale (2004) and The God Delusion (2006). The God Delusion has sold more than two million copies in English, and is being published in 30 other languages. Dawkins is now editing an anthology of scientific writing for Oxford University Press, The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing. In 2006, to promote the values of education, science, and critical thinking skills, he established The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science (RDFRS) which is now a registered charity in both the UK and USA. Richard Dawkins has Honorary Doctorates of Literature as well as Science, and is a Fellow of both the Royal Society and the Royal Society of Literature. He has been awarded the Silver Medal of the Zoological Society of London, the Michael Faraday Award of the Royal Society, the Nakayama Prize, the Cosmos International Prize, the Kistler Prize, the Shakespeare Prize and the Lewis Thomas Prize. Lawrence M. Krauss is a renowned cosmologist and science populariser, and is Foundation Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration, and director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University. Hailed by Scientific American as a rare public intellectual, he is also the author of more than three hundred scientific publications and nine books, including the international bestseller, The Physics of Star Trek, and his most recent bestseller entitled A Universe from Nothing. He received his PhD from MIT in 1982 and then joined the Society of Fellows at Harvard, and was a professor at Yale University and Chair of the Physics Department at Case Western Reserve University before taking his present position. Internationally known for his work in theoretical physics, he is the winner of numerous international awards, and is the only physicist to have received major awards from all three US physics societies, the American Physical Society, the American Institute of Physics, and the American Association of Physics Teachers. Krauss is also a commentator and essayist for newspapers such as the New York Times, and the Wall St. Journal, and has written regular columns for New Scientist and Scientific American and appears regularly on radio and television. He is one of the few scientists to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, and is also active in issues of science and society. He serves as co-chair of the Board of Sponsors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and on the Board of Directors of the Federation of American Scientists.
A wind rises, and we begin to walk the Path of Recap with a protracted exodus from Ebou Dar by Elayne, Aviendha, Nyneave, and company. We get a rare section from Aviendha's POV, but all she's seeing is the Sea Folk, Aes Sedai, and Kin not getting along. Shifting to Elayne, we consider the minutia of Sea Folk appearance and power, and begin to examine the cache of angreal acquired along with the Bowl of the Winds. Avi calmly unweaves her gateway, and the Aes Sedai respond by becoming extremely agitated. Moridin and the gholam have different responses to the flight of the channelers.

Opera singer Jennifer Lien of Duluth, Minn., recently saw Tia Keobounpheng’s public art installation “Unweaving,” in the Sister Cities Park in Duluth. The art consists of four large, bright yellow looms strung with woven fabric. The loose ends of the weaving catch the light and billow in the breeze by the lake. Lien found the installation peaceful and was moved by the purpose behind it. Courtesy of Wolfskull Creative "Unweaving" is a temporary outdoor public art installation by Tia Keobounpheng. The work is a meditation on lost family history and past historical trauma that is passed along the generations. Keobounpheng’s grandmother was part of the “Red Exodus,” when thousands of Finnish speakers emigrated from Minnesota and the Lake Superior region to Karelia, Russia, in the 1930s, with the goal of forming a Finnish-speaking utopia. Many were killed in Stalin’s regime, and those who returned to the U.S. generally did not speak about the experience. In an artist’s statement, Keobounpheng said she designed the installation to explore how communities become “unwoven when we are disconnected from our foundation of ancestral history; i.e. when we don’t know our stories or when truths are suppressed.” Courtesy of Wolfskull Creative "Unweaving" is made with stock lumber, yellow paint, polypropylene rope and used sail. Lien connected personally with the art. As a child and grandchild of immigrants who fled the Japanese invasion and the rise of communism in China, Lien said that the installation “spurred me to think more deeply and to start asking questions about my own family’s historical trauma … and how to unweave those threads in my life through my own particular artistic expression.” “Unweaving” runs through October. Writer Russ Stark recommends seeing the “Rainflower Project,” a public art installation designed to draw attention to mental health and to those who die each year by suicide. Artist Damien Wolf of Plymouth created 675 individual ceramic flowers on steel stems, arranged in a grid on the ground. The project is steeped in symbolism. Each flower is unique like each person lost to suicide. The leaves form the infinity symbol, meaning that people who die are not forgotten. The colors of the flowers, too, are carefully chosen. White flowers represent remembrance and hope, yellow is light and energy, and black for crisis. Stark was moved by the effect of the colors together. The few black flowers are surrounded by yellow and white, reminding him of the community needed to support mental health and wellness. The Rainflower Project is on display in Plymouth through this weekend. MPR's mental health initiative Call to Mind Young adult novelist Lana Wood Johnson is looking forward to attending Rain Taxi’s 20th annual Twin Cities Book Festival, which this year will take place entirely online. The free festival is a draw for readers and writers alike, with talks and exhibitions by authors and publishers. This year’s lineup of writers features major national names, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Ayad Akhtar in conversation with Dessa and Kwame Alexander with James Patterson, Kate DiCamillo, and Naomi Shihab Nye among the speakers. Together with local writers, their work spans literature for children and adults. Eight of the events will be interpreted live on-screen in ASL. The Twin Cities Book Festival runs Thursday through Saturday. Share the art you're excited about Become an Art Hound today!

Richard Dawkins is the recipient of a number of awards for his writing on science, including the Royal Society of Literature Award and the LA Times Literary Prize, he has also been awarded the Royal Society Michael Faraday Award for the furtherance of the public understanding of science. He is the author of a number of critically acclaimed books, such as The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Unweaving the Rainbow, The Devil’s Chaplain, and The Ancestor’s Tale. In this week's interview with Jim Underdown, Dawkins discusses his newest book, Outgrowing God, designed for young people. It is Dawkin's attempt to address the cyclical nature of growing up religious.
In 12 fiercely funny, mind-expanding chapters, Richard Dawkins explains how the natural world arose without a designer — the improbability and beauty of the “bottom-up programming” that engineers an embryo or a flock of starlings — and challenges head-on some of the most basic assumptions made by the world’s religions. In this wide-ranging conversation Shermer and Dawkins discuss: how Outgrowing God encapsulates his life’s work in two broad areas: (1) science, reason, and evolution theory; (2) God, Religion, and Faith. A “Dawkins 101” book and a perfect gift to friends and family. his commitment to the truth, as best explained by science. Is the Bible a “Good Book”? Is adhering to a religion necessary, or even likely, to make people good to one another? why religion is over-determined separating religion from God beliefs Is religion and belief in God an evolutionary adaptation or a byproduct (or both)? Why we don’t need God in order to be good How do we decide what is good? human nature: selfish/selfless, violent/peaceful, better angels/inner demons breaching the Is-Ought barrier the future of atheism career advice for young scientists and scholars getting courage from science the multiverse: “You Cannot be Serious!” Richard Dawkins is a fellow of the Royal Society and was the inaugural holder of the Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He is the acclaimed author of many books, including The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion, The Magic of Reality, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, The Ancestor’s Tale, The Greatest Show on Earth, and Science in the Soul. He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the Royal Society of Literature Award, the Michael Faraday Prize of the Royal Society, the Kistler Prize, the Shakespeare Prize, the Lewis Thomas Prize for Writing about Science, the Galaxy British Book Awards Author of the Year Award, and the International Cosmos Prize of Japan.

Hun kom på besøk til mitt kontor 19. mars 2019 for å snakke om barn og meningen med livet. Spørsmålet var dypest sett om det å få barn er meningen med livet. Umiddelbart vil jeg selvfølgelig si at det ikke finnes én mening med livet, men når det er sagt, kan man gjerne snakke om ulike veier til et meningsfullt liv. For meg personlig betyr barna veldig mye. Jeg elsker dem over alt på jord, men det er også de som er hovedkilden til frustrasjon og bekymring. Jeg vil påstå at livet mitt har blitt langt mer meningsfullt etter at jeg fikk barn, og i denne episoden snakker jeg litt om hvorfor. Jeg legger ikke så mye vekt på den kjærligheten jeg føler til barna, da den på sett og vis er noe jeg bærer på innsiden og kanskje vegrer meg litt for å utpensle i en podcast. Jeg inntar et litt mer intellektuelt standpunkt og reflekterer over hvilke aspekter ved det å ha barn som kan besørge et mer meningsfullt liv. Det er ikke åpenbart at lite søvn på natta, masse bekymring, ingen fritid, mye mas og et enormt stort ansvar skal gjøre livet så mye bedre, og kanskje gjør det ikke livet så mye bedre, men jeg har det likevel mye bedre etter at jeg fikk barn. Det er først og fremst kjærligheten jeg har til disse små menneskene, med det er også andre faktorer som jeg mener er sentrale faktorer i et meningsfullt liv. Jeg påstår på ingen måte at barn er meningen med livet, men det kan være svært meningsbærende for mange, inkludert meg selv. I løpet av samtalen forsøker jeg å begrunne hvilke faktorer jeg mener er sentrale for å leve mest mulig meningsfulle og gode liv, og det er faktorer som man kan inkludere i livet uten barn. Å tro at barn er det som konstituerer all mening i et menneskeliv er sneversynt og feil, så vidt jeg kan se, men å tenke litt grundigere gjennom hvilke ingredienser og strategier man kan implementere for å få et meningsfullt liv, tror jeg er veldig viktig, og det er nettopp det vi forsøker å gjøre i dagens episode. Etter samtalen kommer jeg på 1000 andre ting jeg tror kan berike livet ganske mye, men det får vi spare til kommende episoder her på SinnSyn. Meningen med livet er et enormt stort tema, og vi kan ikke håpe på annet enn å skrape litt i overflaten, men jeg håper vi ansporer potensielle lyttere til å tenke litt mer på dette etter å ha hørt denne episoden av SinnSyn.I forkant av samtalen sendte Cecile meg følgende spørsmål-Er barn meningen med livet?-Hva er forskjell på mening og lykke?-Hva er det som gir oss mening?-Hvorfor er vi så opptatt av at livet må kjennes meningsfylt?-Er samfunnet for mye bygget rundt barnefamilier, hva med de som faller utenfor?Jeg tror ikke vi svarte fullstendig på alle sammen, men vi holdt på i nesten halvannen time, så noe må vi ha fått med oss.Før vi går til samtalen med Cecilie, vil jeg lese et lite utdrag fra min siste bok som heter «Psykologens Journal». Det var via dette prosjektet jeg selv forsøkte å utforske meningen med livet i møte med religiøse mennesker. Jeg er selv en ateist, i beste fall en agnostiker, men jeg er interessert i livets store spørsmål, og jeg fant mange mennesker med de samme interessene i religiøse kretser.Det var en interessant reise i motstridende ideer som jeg mener tok meg dypere inn i de viktige spørsmålene, og blant annet var meningen med livet et slags gjennomgangstema i boken. Het får du et lite utdrag hvor jeg reflekterer over barn og videreføring av egne gener koblet opp mot meningen med livet.Ønsker du å fordype deg i meningen med livet, så håper jeg selvfølgelig at du klikker deg inn på linken herhttps://www.webpsykologen.no/bestill-psykologens-journal/ for å anskaffe deg boka.

Jeg inntar et litt mer intellektuelt standpunkt og reflekterer over hvilke aspekter ved det å ha barn som kan besørge et mer meningsfullt liv. Det er ikke åpenbart at lite søvn på natta, masse bekymring, ingen fritid, mye mas og et enormt stort ansvar skal gjøre livet så mye bedre, og kanskje gjør det ikke livet så mye bedre, men jeg har det likevel mye bedre etter at jeg fikk barn. Det er først og fremst kjærligheten jeg har til disse små menneskene, med det er også andre faktorer som jeg mener er sentrale faktorer i et meningsfullt liv. Jeg påstår på ingen måte at barn er meningen med livet, men det kan være svært meningsbærende for mange, inkludert meg selv. I løpet av samtalen forsøker jeg å begrunne hvilke faktorer jeg mener er sentrale for å leve mest mulig meningsfulle og gode liv, og det er faktorer som man kan inkludere i livet uten barn. Å tro at barn er det som konstituerer all mening i et menneskeliv er sneversynt og feil, så vidt jeg kan se, men å tenke litt grundigere gjennom hvilke ingredienser og strategier man kan implementere for å få et meningsfullt liv, tror jeg er veldig viktig, og det er nettopp det vi forsøker å gjøre i dagens episode. Etter samtalen kommer jeg på 1000 andre ting jeg tror kan berike livet ganske mye, men det får vi spare til kommende episoder her på SinnSyn. Meningen med livet er et enormt stort tema, og vi kan ikke håpe på annet enn å skrape litt i overflaten, men jeg håper vi ansporer potensielle lyttere til å tenke litt mer på dette etter å ha hørt denne episoden av SinnSyn.I forkant av samtalen sendte Cecile meg følgende spørsmål-Er barn meningen med livet?-Hva er forskjell på mening og lykke?-Hva er det som gir oss mening?-Hvorfor er vi så opptatt av at livet må kjennes meningsfylt?-Er samfunnet for mye bygget rundt barnefamilier, hva med de som faller utenfor?Jeg tror ikke vi svarte fullstendig på alle sammen, men vi holdt på i nesten halvannen time, så noe må vi ha fått med oss.Før vi går til samtalen med Cecilie, vil jeg lese et lite utdrag fra min siste bok som heter «Psykologens Journal». Det var via dette prosjektet jeg selv forsøkte å utforske meningen med livet i møte med religiøse mennesker. Jeg er selv en ateist, i beste fall en agnostiker, men jeg er interessert i livets store spørsmål, og jeg fant mange mennesker med de samme interessene i religiøse kretser.Det var en interessant reise i motstridende ideer som jeg mener tok meg dypere inn i de viktige spørsmålene, og blant annet var meningen med livet et slags gjennomgangstema i boken. Het får du et lite utdrag hvor jeg reflekterer over barn og videreføring av egne gener koblet opp mot meningen med livet.Ønsker du å fordype deg i meningen med livet, så håper jeg selvfølgelig at du klikker deg inn på linken herhttps://www.webpsykologen.no/bestill-psykologens-journal/ for å anskaffe deg boka.

Countless regions of the human genome have been mapped by genetic studies in recent years. Manolis Kellis will discuss these efforts to build high-resolution activity maps of gene and regulatory regions across hundreds of cell types. These maps are bringing the genome to life, revealing possible culprits in human disease, and revealing the circuitry likely responsible when the genome’s regulatory system goes wrong. Understanding these mechanisms is essential to the development of effective therapeutics.
Despite the onslaught of legislative initiatives surrounding AML/CTF, it is difficult to make any conclusive remarks on the effectiveness of the broader system that attempts to control money laundering and terrorist financing. Based on his new book on 'Technology and Anti-Money Laundering', the speaker will unravel much of the complexity surrounding AML and offer practical advice for financial institutions.
Richard Dawkins, considered one of the world's most influential scientists, is the first holder of the Charles Simonyi professorship of the public understanding of science at Oxford University and the recipient of a number of awards for his writings and for his science, including the International Cosmos Prize, the Kistler Prize, and the Shakespeare Prize.

His most recent title is the best selling The God Delusion which is now out in paperback.In this candid discussion with D.J. Grothe recorded in front of a live audience at the recent Secular Society and Its Enemies conference, Richard Dawkins discusses the impact of his book The God Delusion, whether or not his uncompromising attack on religion undermines science education, and how people can find meaning in a godless universe. He also explores strategies for advancing atheism in society and highlights what secularists may learn from the gay rights and feminist movements. Additionally, during the audience Q&A, Dawkins fields a question from the eminent ethicist Peter Singer.

He is the author of a number of critically acclaimed books, such as The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Unweaving the Rainbow, The Devil's Chaplain, and The Ancestor's Tale. In this interview with DJ Grothe, he discusses his newest work, a two-part documentary series for British television entitled The Root of All Evil?, in which he challenges what he calls "the process of non-thinking called faith." Also in this episode, noted ex-muslim and best-selling Islamic scholar Ibn Warraq explores the recent worldwide riots over the Danish cartoons depicting Mohammed as a terrorist and Point of Inquiry contributor Lauren Becker explores "defensive driving maneuvers" in a world where so many drive by faith and not by sight. DJ Grothe also talks with Derek and Swoopy, hosts of the wildly popular podcast Skepticality, to explore using this new medium to advance the critical, pro-science view in our society.
