When it comes to making better decisions, science backs up what St. Ignatius figured out centuries ago: distancing yourself by taking a 3rd person or other perspective helps. This week, I talk with @bostoncollege.bsky.social Father Bart Geger about seeking wisdom www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...

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 Sam...

From my conversation with @hubermanlab.com, here's why you shouldn't believe any scientist who says they know for certain that God doesn't exist. Science can & does adjudicate ideas about how the world works. But it can't answer whether God is out there. www.hubermanlab.com/episode/scie...
Sam Altman is building "a magic intelligence in the sky." Buddhists & Catholics are praying with humanoid robots. And clergy are letting AI write sermons. What does this all mean for the future of religion and who (or what) will be guiding it? We took a look: 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.
Many in Silicon Valley talk about AI almost as a savior, or as @sigalsamuel.bsky.social says, like they're trying to build a god. But do they know what makes a god good? Sigal isn't so sure, and when we fed our discussion into Claude (who joined us in voice mode), neither was it. 1/2
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...
If you're looking to improve life in 2026, you might want to think about...sin. Not in the fire & brimstone sense, but as @elizabetholdfield.bsky.social notes, as something that separates us from others or, simply put, just F's things up. Join us as we rethink sin. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
I completely understand having some concern about profit motives in Big Pharma & Big Ag/Food, but when it makes you cynical about medical science in general, it can go bad fast. And among some in this community, it turns into conspiracy. Devout Christian Francis Collins has it right. RFK is wrong
The rise of Jordan Peterson & similar influencers among men doesn't stem from their advice & guidance. Those are pretty basic. It's the demand that signifies the crisis men are facing, and society's failings. I talk with Richard Reeves of @aibm.bsky.social 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...
What does it mean to be wise? How do you become so? On today's episode, we explore the science of wisdom with Igor Grossmann (@igi.bsky.social) & see how some Christian traditions developed exercises for it long ago with @bostoncollege.bsky.social Fr. Bart Geger podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

It's a huge problem to live on $174,000.00 a year and get free food, medical and a housing allowance. It must be difficult. You obviously have a house in your district. And you get a housing allowance. Insider trading is illegal. Stop making excuses. #USDemocracy

Trump on his return from Arlington National Cemetery spent 6 whole minutes scrutinizing a column under the North Portico. Is it another dementia moment or is he planning another of his “projects”?

April is National Minority Health Month, a time to focus on closing health gaps and expanding access to care. Stronger, healthier communities start with making sure no one is left behind.
