This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of a number of dimensions to the world and universe which we can contemplate the beauty of, and thereby come to an appreciation of providential and intelligent ordering of the universe. These include the earth itself, the ocean, the air, and the aether or the heavens.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of the various meanings that people in ancient times gave to the term "nature", rejecting certain of them and endorsing others of them.  He also discusses why the world itself is something subject to nature as the Stoics understand it, and providentially ordered and arranged

Cicero On The Nature Of The Gods book 2 - Nature And The Universe - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of the stability and coherence of the world itself and of the larger cosmos. These features are used by Balbus to argue for the existence of some intelligent, providentially ordering divine being. He also discusses a controversial Stoic doctrine, that of the universal conflagration, in which the matter of the world is gradually converted into aether or fire, and then the world is recreated by the divine being.

🚀 This week on the Low Meins Asylum Show we’re blasting off into the cosmos! 🌌 I break down 10 of the most insane and mind-blowing things that actually happen in space from diamond planets and cosmic alcohol clouds, to black holes that can spaghettify you. 🤯

Space is mysterious, terrifying, and beautiful all at once, and I’m bringing y’all the wildest facts that make you realize just how tiny we are in the grand scheme of the universe. 🌍✨

And don’t forget next week we’re coming back down to Earth to talk about the horrible conditions Amazon drivers go through while driving for Amazon. Stay tuned for that one.

Peace, love, ramen noodles. 🍜✌️

Cosmos

I am, on the maternal side, Haplogroup T
(Subclade T2) and, on the paternal side,
Haplogroup Q (M242)!
I have been walking the earth since the
early '50s. I am an ex-mill-rat,
ex-(Calumet)region-rat, ex-chemist,
dead-mathematician, ex-programmer,
musician, composer, earth-walker.
I have two musical directions, I play,
perform, and teach traditional Japanese
classical music for the shakuhachi
(an end blown bamboo flute), and I play,
compose, and perform experimental
electronic music. All the electronic music I
compose and perform is and can be done
in real-time (i.e. I don't use multi-tracking
or computer manipulation for my compositions).
Whenever I record anything, either electronic
or on the shakuhachi, it is done in real-time
just as it would have been done on the stage
or in an intimate setting.

Hawkdream is a live instrumental music project founded by Brian Brown, who is a talented musician from the UK. He creates some of the coolest spacey synth music out there! He started out in 2012 and so far has released over 17 Hawkdream albums. The music of Hawkdream has layers upon layers of diverse, spatial ambience. There is also some really cool Tangerine Dream elements interwoven at times. Anyone digging Kitaro or Vangelis will also dig this music! In our opinion, there seems to be an overall feeling of Nature flowing with the Earth as one, a true essence of serenity merging with the dark waves of time.

AstroConnect.
 AstroConnect is Brian Brown (HawkDream) and
Manny Leigh. Brian is located in the UK and Manny is in
the US northwest, almost 5000 miles apart. AstroConnect is
an electronic duo performing mostly ambient, some Berlin
style and sometimes a little neurotic chaos for your
listening pleasure.
 All AstroConnect music is recorded 100% live via the
Internet no overdubs. We don't rehearse. We may have a
simple idea and just get to it, maybe choose a chord
progression. The recorded tracks are all improvised on the
spot.
 Brian performs Synth Voodoo on his bank of
synthesizers including a Roland Jupiter 80, Yamaha Motive
7, Motive 6, EX7, CS1X(x2). Manny primarily uses a
Yamaha WX5 Wind controller and sometimes throws in
some keyboard controller stuff, maybe some guitar, both
midi and magnetic. Often it gets so deep that nobody
knows who is playing what. It all just flows together into
one great track. This is the essence of playing 100% LIVE
half a world apart.  AstroConnect started playing live in 2013, the tracks
were limited to mono only, so some of the effects were a
little weak. This was due to internet limitations and
hardware deficiencies. In the summer of 2014 Manny
added more hardware and worked out the process of
recording in high quality stereo. AstroConnect hopes the
sound is now up to your headphone listening standards.
Please don't forget this is all recorded 100% live almost
5000 miles apart, that's why were called AstroConnect!

Discussions of horror faves and flops, breakdowns of what makes things scary, and arguments about which werewolf is best. Here in Hauntsville, the real horror is the friendships we made along the way.

As the son of a professional flamenco singer, Thomas has always been surrounded by music.  Exposure to flamenco influenced him because it has a dynamic range of emotions—from the "deep singing" style of cante hondo, to the more lively alegrias.  He has also worked in the corporate, independent, and online music industry for a number of years.  At one point he was a Content Manager for the Electronic Music genre at MP3.com, where he screened over 500 songs per day.  Exposure to a wide range of music explains the range of genres in his mixes—he uses whatever carries the mood.  From listening to Umm Kulthum's "Enta Omri" in his childhood, to New Wave and  Industrial as a teen, it became difficult for him to stick to one sound. Though vinyl was his original format of choice when he started in the 90s, the use of digital mixing has helped him better form soundscapes to expand your headspace.  Let him play with your moods for a spell.

The dopest podcast on this side of the milky way!
