Why do we have religion? As society becomes more secular, what are we leaving behind? Is there a way to regain religion's benefits? Out now on How God Works, a discussion with Krista Tippet, Father Greg Boyle, & Rabbi Shira Stuntman from @aspenideas.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Fifteen years ago (a long time for tech), my lab showed not only that people were willing to engage in conversation with social tech, but that we could manipulate their moral beliefs around trust by having the robot send different nonverbal signals. Imagine what today's tech can do.

I asked David Brooks if he thinks relying on rationality can get in the way of embracing faith. His answer doesn't reject science & positivism, but speaks to their limitations. It's why I think he's right & scholars like Richard Dawkins & Steven Pinker aren't. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

On this week’s episode of How God Works, we explore views of what it means to be spiritual. Here’s Father Greg Boyle with his: Be in the world as God would be. Do in the world what God would want you to do. Cherish each other. Don’t focus on piety. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Whether it's the rushing around, stress, or loneliness, the holidays can be hard. But there's a way to find joy, peace, and connection in the traditional celebrations, IF you do them right. Join @lauriesantos.bsky.social & me as we unpack that wisdom. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... @prx.org

This is how you do it. @jamestalarico.bsky.social is bringing the language of faith back to the left. It should never have been ceded to the right.

Loneliness is on the rise. That's not news. But maybe part of the reason is: we're no longer sure what it means to be a good friend or lack tools to make it happen. I talk with Samuel Kimbriel & Robert Waldinger about what science, philosophy, and religion offer. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

When it comes to understanding consciousness, Philip Goff tells me why it’s been so difficult. Our science is designed to exclude consciousness, or at least block different ways to approach understanding it - ways that spiritual traditions have favored. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...

Ever worry about ending up in the Bad Place? Join me as I talk with @shadihamid.bsky.social & Bart Ehrman on the next episode of How God Works (out Sunday) about how people's thoughts about Hell shape not just their own lives, but societies as a whole. howgodworks.org

We used to think that rituals around death were unique to modern humans. But as anthropologist Agustin Fuentes tells us, that's no longer the case. On this episode, we trace the evolution of belief from its earliest glimmers to today, and ask: What comes next? www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...

I asked our witnesses at today’s hearing what they would say to Americans who have fallen victim to anti-immigrant rhetoric. Listen to their responses:

"Do you realise you guys have just jaywalked?" The Crisafulli government has installed traffic lights & a pedestrian crossing for one residential driveway at Mermaid Beach. LNP MP Ray Stevens says it's for safety but pedestrians think the button is for the main road. #qldpol

Stephen A Smith sexually harassed Chiney Ogwumike on air, and when Coach Jackie made a video about it, Shaq (yes, Shaquille O’Neal) wrote a rude and condescending comment on Jackie’s video. As a sexual harassment researcher who studied French and grew up watching Shaq, I had to weigh in.

Nasty bitches! (These bosses kinda got hands though…)

The Epstein investigation is proof we have a two-tier justice system: one for the wealthy & well-connected and one for survivors. Oversight Democrats took our investigation to Palm Beach where many of the horrific crimes—and failures of justice—took place. We will not stop pursuing accountability.

Caring for a loved one is one of the most profound things a person can do. But carers are not just a workforce—they deserve care themselves. 🫂 Today’s daily dose.

I do pixel art and illustration, but I'm finding out just now that I can't upload both video and pictures on the same post 🤔

At full Council I asked about the average cost of a pedestrian crossing, previously I've received answers from the Cabinet Member on a crossing not going in on Bridge Road prior to any larger transport plans, due to potential risk in altering it. I wanted to get a clear picture of that risk cost.

We've been told the world is run by incredibly strategic multi-billion and multi-trillion dollar companies, but for those who work inside them, it feels like nothing could be further from the truth. Would these companies function if all the EAs stopped working? @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com

I cannot believe I just listened to these words and was like, “yeah. That tracks.”

Talarico: We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires. Those billionaires buy politicians like Ken Paxton. And then those puppets turn around and rig the rules of the economy in favor of those billionaires at our expense.
