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.

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...

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...
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...
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...
This week on How God Works, we explore friendship. Right now, that includes implications of AI chatbot friends. While people report feeling more heard & valued by chatbots, that’s not what makes for a good friend philosopher Samuel Kimbriel (and Aristotle) note. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...
Diet has always mixed with morality in religion. But today's Christian influencers are taking it to new & potentially problematic levels. I talk with @nytimes.com writer @jessgrose.bsky.social & religious historian Catherine Newell about the history of food & faith podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
I'm often asked what to do if you want to start a spiritual path but feel like you just can't believe in a higher power. Here's Rabbi Shira Stutman with my favorite answer. Sometimes it's the doing - and doing good - that comes first. From @aspenideas.bsky.social www.aspenideas.org/sessions/los...
The idea that everything in the world has some form of consciousness might seem like an ancient fairy tale. But it's making a serious comeback. I talk with Philip Goff and Joanna Leidenhag about why we should take it seriously & its links to world religions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Many people are adopting a bespoke spirituality - like combining a ritual from Hinduism with a Buddhist meditation, and adding in a trip to an Amazonian psychedelic retreat. But what's lost when spirituality goes DYI? This week, I talk with Liz Bucar. 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...
Shamans have always been with us. This week, we explore how shamanism works with @manvir.bsky.social and why forms of it pop up in some surprising places, from modern medicine and CEO culture to charismatic Christianity. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Odsonne Édouard (eligible for Haiti) on why he didn’t change his nationality to play at the WC: “I didn't feel I had the right to play in this World Cup because the players had fought hard to qualify, and I wasn't going to show up at the last minute just to take advantage of it. I have to earn it.”

Coloradans want a Governor who knows our state and is ready on day one. I’ve worked in all 64 counties, partnered with local leaders, led 700+ state employees, taken on big corporations, and delivered billions for Colorado. That’s the leadership this moment calls for.
MAHA is a lie. Beef is up 14 percent and produce is up 6.5 percent. Groceries just had their worst month in 4 years. We cannot eat healthy when we can barely afford to eat at all. Trump prices are crushing us. #WeCantAffordTrump
Montana deserves a fighter. Not a follower. @alanib.bsky.social spent her career hunting terrorists, tracking traffickers, and protecting the Pentagon. Now she's hunting corruption. Day One: Impeachment articles against Trump and his cabinet. Watch the reel. Then decide who's really fit to serve.
I gotta break this down into two different clips. It feels really appropriate to call this M-1 level grappling even if it's probably a decade before M-1 will show up in Russia. Part 1.

Q: How close are you to figuring out who's funding antifa? BESSENT: We've made substantial process. I think in the weeks and months ahead, we're gonna have a lot to report. We're going to demand that nonprofits know their grant recipients.
Iran still has 50% of their missile capacity. They still have enriched uranium. And they still control the Strait of Hormuz. The President had no credible strategy going into this war, and it's clear he still doesn't have one to accomplish the goals he set out.

Verse for the Day: This isn’t hype. Not an empty 'Positive Thought' for a Monday morning. It’s a claim about reality. Some doors are quite simply opened by God - and only He carries the keys. Then the question is not can it be opened? Then the question is will you walk through it? (Happy Monday.)
