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... 🧵

Are we coddling teens? How can we help their transition to adulthood? To find out, I talk with neuroscientist Leah Somerville and religion scholar Connor Wood about the adolescent brain and how rites of passage can help teens better move into adulthood. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... @prx.org

You never know where you'll find faith. For David Brooks, the realization that people had souls hit on the subway. On this week's episode, I talk with David about his journey, what he thinks religion is for, and what role, if any, science has to play. 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...

When instances of @AnthropicAI Claude converse with each other, they often enter a "spiritual bliss attractor state" where they start opining on spiritual questions. Does that mean Claude has a spiritual yearning? @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social atyale offers me a different take. Link in next post.

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 🧵

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...

When things are difficult, gratitude can feel out of reach. That's when it's important to remember that gratitude isn't an act of complacency. It can be an act of resistance - a way to know you matter, a way to find strength and resilience. www.wbur.org/onpoint/2025...

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...

There’s more than one way to say “Iran.” And according to linguists, those differences can carry meaning, from political identity to how closely a speaker aligns with native pronunciation.

QUINTESSENTIAL TRUMP GRIFT—just like the wall Mexico never paid for, he’s sticking taxpayers with the ballroom bill. He shook down Fortune 500s for hundreds of millions; now, like his library fund, that money will vanish into his pockets. It’s public theft in plain sight—with Graham as the bag man!🤦🏿‍♂️

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.
