British philosopher and best-selling author A. C. Grayling joins Amy in the Triple R studios for a very special in-depth conversation. Anthony tells us how we can consciously build our own philosophy of life, and why it is so important that we have one of our own. 

Grayling doesn't want to be prescriptive, but rather says we should take what's best for us from a range of philosophical schools and ideas. Amy and Anthony discuss free will and Sartre and Beauvoir's concept of existentialism, the key ancient philosophical schools and philosophers, including the Stoics, Cynics, and Epicureans. They also explore universal topics of love, friendship, and what happiness really is today compared with how it was conceived of in the past. He explores these ideas in his recent book, 'Philosophy And Life: Exploring the Great Questions of How to Live.'

In this climactic episode of "Paris 2073 A.D.: Time Traveller's Journal", our protagonist finally reaches the top of the Eiffel Tower and confronts the quantum device. We'll analyze the author's description of this advanced technology and its mind-bending capabilities. Our discussion will focus on the moral dilemma presented by the power to potentially change history. We'll examine the protagonist's internal struggle as they grapple with the responsibility of their discoveries and the potential consequences of their actions. The unexpected complications that arise as they attempt to use the device add another layer of tension to the narrative. Join us as we explore themes of free will, determinism, and the butterfly effect in time travel. This episode raises profound questions about the nature of time and humanity's place in the grand tapestry of history. Remember, "Paris 2073 A.D.: Time Traveller's Journal" is available on Amazon. We encourage listeners to read along with us to fully appreciate the rich detail and nuanced storytelling we'll be discussing throughout this podcast series.

Who are you?  How you answer that question will probably expose your personal identity.  Most people would answer that question by talking about their career, favorite hobby, or education.  But those are all temporary and do not work in the long run as our core identity.  For other people, the things they have suffered have become their identity; for others, it's the regret over mistakes they have made.  Our believes (identity) about ourselves largely determine our behavior.  In Eph. 1:1-18, Paul teaches the basis for a Christian's core identity.  This magnificent passage can change your life, when you understand who you really are in Christ.

"Choice or Destiny" explores humanity's eternal question about free will versus fate through melodic storytelling. The song weaves metaphors of rivers, roads, and dancing to examine how our lives balance between conscious decisions and predetermined paths. Through building arrangements and thoughtful lyrics, it suggests that perhaps the answer lies not in choosing one or the other, but in understanding how both forces shape our journey. The music mirrors this dance between certainty and mystery, creating space for listeners to contemplate their own paths.

Choice Or Destiny

421 Sadgamaya - Q & A - How does surrender to the divine free us from moral dilemma?

In “The Fisherman’s Net,” a riverbank showdown unfolds: a fisherman mends his craft while a stranger urges a wild, reckless cast. This bluesy folk tune threads free will through skillful hands, with a rolling melody and soulful grit. It’s a tale of bending with the current—because the river rewards those who listen. Ideal for a quiet night or a long, open-road drive.

Lyrics:
[Verse]
Down by the river where the waters bend
A fisherman sat with a net to mend
A stranger came
With fire in his eye
Said
"Cast it wide
Don’t question why."

[Verse 2]
The fisherman said
"I know my trade
The catch is meager
But it's honest paid."
The stranger laughed
“Let the river choose
Free will’s a cage if you're born to lose."

[Chorus]
Throw the net where wisdom flows
Follow the current where the truth bestows
Free will’s the line you weave with care
Skillful hands shape what grows there

[Verse 3]
The stranger seized the net
Cast it afar
Into deep waters
Where the shadows spar
The line pulled taut
But his hands let slip
The weight was too much
And the net would rip

[Verse 4]
The fisherman rose
With a steady hand
Pulled the net back
Brought the fish to land
Said
"It ain't the depth
But the patience
Friend
The river gives
When you learn to bend."

[Chorus]
Throw the net where wisdom flows
Follow the current where the truth bestows
Free will’s the line you weave with care
Skillful hands shape what grows there

In this episode, we discuss Chapter 6 of Cusk’s Outline alongside an essay by Murdoch called The Idea of Perfection. In this essay, Murdoch argues that the way we pay attention to the world is ethically significant. We talk about how Cusk’s narrator attends to the world, and what this leads the reader to infer about her character and sense of self. 

Speaker names: 

•	Dr. Scarlett Baron, Associate Professor in the English Department at UCL.
•	Alice Harberd, PhD Student in the Philosophy Department at UCL.

Soulja Boy: Pretty Boy Swag x Xotixx: Free Will

Delve into the complex topic of free will, exploring its philosophical and scientific dimensions. Discuss the illusion of free will, the constraints imposed by physical reality, and the implications of quantum physics on our understanding of choice and determinism. The dialogue navigates through concepts such as causality, entropy, and the famous Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, ultimately questioning the nature of reality and whether free will truly exists or is merely an illusion.

DO WE HAVE FREE WILL - ESSENCE OF SCIENCE

We humans feel like we have the ability to make any choice, but the reality is that we can only make any choice we want to. In other words, humans are bound to their own wills - it’s not possible to choose to do something you ultimately do not want to do. Every choice to do something you don’t want to do is made because there is something you ultimately want more. We choose to go to the dentist–something we don’t want to do–because our desire to avoid the long-term pain of dental decay is greater than our desire to avoid the short-term pain of dental pain. A better way to talk about the way we make choices is to say we have freedom of agency: we can choose to do anything within the realm of our desires. For example, I am free to choose between wearing the green socks or the yellow socks, but I am not free to cut my feet off–it simply isn’t within the realm of my desires to do so. 

The Bible insists that this is also true when it comes to one’s relationship with God. Our fallen human hearts do not desire God, or at least we do not desire God as he really is. And so we choose to reject him because it is our will to reject him, and we do not choose to accept him because our wills are opposed to him–and it is impossible to do something ultimately against your will. And so, if we are going to accept God, he must change our will so that we desire him. This work of the Holy Spirit, called prevenient grace, happens when God mercifully and lovingly draws us to himself, and changes our heart from the inside out so that we believe in him and long for a relationship with him.

Do We Have Free Will? (Ep123)

Every action has its causes and conditions, but my will cannot be reduced to simple physical or social drives or neural processes. Everyone tells me to stay away from you, but I chose You – because I am free to love you.

I Chose You

Furthermore, the documents examine the concepts of **authoritarianism and totalitarianism**, defining them through practices that sabotage accountability and infringe on human rights, with examples ranging from historical regimes like Francoist Spain to modern groups like the Taliban. The origins and evolution of the **left–right political spectrum**, tracing back to the French Revolution and the actions of groups like the Jacobins, are also discussed. Finally, the texts touch on the modern platforms of the **Republican and Democratic Parties in the U.S.**, highlighting Republican priorities like border security and deregulation, and Democratic focuses on social equality, minority rights, and health care.

Welcome to Essence Of! Here you will learn about medicine, science, history, and life, all by our favorite neurosurgeon, Dr. Hamid Abbasi.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Earth, a tiny blue planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, lies silent, its cities in ruins, its people long gone. As a time traveller and musician, I am drawn to this world, to the echoes of a civilisation that reached for the stars but fell short, consumed by an ambition they could neither control nor fully understand.
Through my music, I seek to capture the essence of this lost era, particularly the turbulent times around 2070, when humanity's fate hung in the balance. Each song is a journey through time, a sonic exploration of the apocalyptic moments when everything changed, guided by the haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse.
As I wander through the abandoned streets and desolate landscapes, I find inspiration in the remnants of human culture - the unfinished symphonies in empty concert halls, the silence that hangs heavy in recording studios where hit songs were once crafted. The music becomes a conduit for the stories that linger in these spaces, tales of dreams pursued and hopes shattered.
In the rhythms of nature reclaiming the cities, I hear a powerful message - that all things must pass, that even the grandest of human achievements are impermanent. This truth resonates through my compositions, serving as a reminder of our own fragility and the need for humility in the face of the universe's vast mysteries.
Each track  is a warning, a cautionary tale wrapped in sound and emotion. They speak of the paths we may tread if we are not vigilant, the dreams that may crumble if we are not wise. Through music, I forge a connection that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to explore the echoes of a vanished world and heed the lessons hidden within.
Join me on this sonic odyssey through the remnants of Earth's final days, a journey that will leave you questioning our place in the cosmos and the legacy we leave behind. Let the music be your guide as we navigate the ruins of a civilisation that dared to dream big but ultimately succumbed to its own hubris - a fate we must strive to avoid as we venture forth into the unknown.

Music takes me to new worlds. Life is the best teacher. Writing about life is a challenge and experience is what guides me. Loves, pains, disappointments, sadness, joy, despair, hope, melancholy, happiness, all these feelings burn in my veins and make me create.
You all welcome to follow my journey.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Love is the key

I'm a pastor, dad, husband, and child of God.  I'm broken, but  blessed. The cracks are where the Light shines through.

My mission is to help people grow closer to God with every breath and step I take. I gave my life to Christ at an early age and have grown closer through the years, spurred on by the study of the Bible, my church family, and the Chrysalis and Walk to Emmaus Communities. I accepted the call to full -time ministry as a pastor in 1999 and have served 4 different churches in Georgia. Music, preaching, and teaching are the heart of my ministry.

Outside of the pulpit, I enjoy many hobbies that help me blow off steam.  These include martial arts, woodworking, blacksmithing, gardening, cooking, and being creative.  I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none.  My philosophy is use what you have, do it yourself if you can, learn something in the process, and have lots of fun.  This channel is a place to share it all with you.

St. James Lutheran Church was established in 1982. We are a church rooted on Grace Alone, Faith Alone, and Scripture Alone. And we are a body of sinners and saints focused on spreading the Good News in the Greater Glen Carbon community.

St. James is located in Glen Carbon, IL at 146 North Main Street. We are located across from Glen Carbon Village Hall and right next to Schon Park.
