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...
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... ๐งต
Is doubt the death of faith, or a way to grow spiritually? In part 1 of our 2 part series on doubt, we talk with poet & @yaledivinityschool.bsky.social prof. Christian Wiman and UVA psychologist Julie Exline about the promise and peril of religious doubt. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Is withdrawing from the world into a life of contemplation or being in the world trying to heal it the best route to growing spiritually? Turns out, as @sigalsamuel.bsky.social notes, they're not mutually exclusive. The two paths can reinforce each other. More here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
We all have an innate need to feel like we matter. But as author Jennifer Wallace notes, that need often goes unmet. We talk about how to solve this mattering deficit. I also chat with Duke's Patty Van Cappellen about the wisdom spiritual traditions offer to help podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
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
On our new episode, I talk with Paige Harden (@kph3k.bsky.social) about the behavioral genetics of sin, the virtues (if any) of punishment, and how ancient religious ideas around vice & virtue continue to shape our science, policy, and discourse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
People are looking to AI for moral guidance. Silicon Valley is talking about AI in religious terms. And Claude seems to enter a spiritual-seeking bliss state at times. What's going on? Join me to explore with @sigalsamuel.bsky.social & @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Doubt isn't the death of faith -- it often provides a route to renewal and new revelation. Here's friend of the show Rabbi Angela Buchdahl talking about how that idea is baked into the fabric of Judaism itself. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

If that's what I think it means, we agree 100%. Our brain uses the sensors so-called "senses" (hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, seeing) to perceive and capture, then process and elaborate creatively: computational power can't do that, since it needs banks of data previously stored by us.
