Let's settle this right now. You're a creator. It's why the work won't leave you alone. It's why success never fully satisfies you. You've created things. Real things. Ideas that wouldn't let you sleep. Pieces nobody asked for, but you had to make anyway. Work that felt bigger than the room it landed in. And still, you find yourself looking for a deeper meaning. Because what you're building and what you're capable of are not the same size. You've been called a dreamer. Like you'd eventually come back down. You didn't. You outgrew the rooms. You just haven't been building at your full frequency...

Although Roe v. Wade identified abortion as a constitutional right 45 years ago, it still bears stigma - a proverbial scarlet A. In public discussion, both proponents and opponents of abortion's legality tend to focus on extraordinary cases. This tendency keeps the national debate polarized and contentious. Professor Katie Watson focuses instead on the cases that happen the most, which she calls "ordinary abortion". Scarlet A gives the reflective listener a more accurate impression of what the majority of American abortion practice really looks like.

Written in the first century B.C., On the Nature of Things (in Latin, De Rerum Natura) is a captivating poem in six books that seeks to convey Epicurean philosophy to a Roman audience. Through engaging digressions on the significance of philosophy in human life and a celebration of Epicurus, Lucretius crafts a profound treatise on atomic theory, the fallacies of religion, and various natural phenomena. With a perfect balance of philosophical insight and epic style, the poem dazzles with rich imagery and eloquent expression. (Summary by Leni)

Is a doctrine of everlasting punishment in hell consistent with God's perfect love and perfect justice? And what implications does this traditional doctrine carry for the nature of divine grace and mercy. In Hell in a Nutshell Charles Watson, Sr., argues that we should not allow a received doctrine, such as the doctrine of hell, to determine our understanding of God's justice, love, and mercy; instead, we should allow a biblically informed understanding of these divine attributes to shape our understanding of every received doctrine, including the doctrine of Hell.

Neuroscientists Katie McAllister and Patrick Watson discuss the nervous system, scrutinize pop neuroscience, and attempt to understand why—despite millions of published articles and advances in artificial intelligence—everyone still seems to think the brain is a mysterious organ.

The Musings of a Fool is a podcast of raw, reflective audio essays about real life — the kind most people carry quietly. Love and loss. Marriage and divorce. Loneliness, fatherhood, identity, faith, regret, resilience, and the slow work of rebuilding a life after it breaks.These episodes aren’t interviews, and they aren’t built around trends. They’re personal reflections with a wider purpose: to name what many people feel but don’t know how to say out loud. Some episodes move through memory and observation. Others tackle big questions about modern life, meaning, and what we’ve lost...

When you look at the world, do you like what you see? Do you find it a suitable habitat for living your life? Do you appreciate the way our nations interact? Are you proud of how societies treat one another? Do you find value in your personal interactions? Are you satisfied with the knowledge you have gained, or are you yearning for more? Do you long for a tangible explanation of why you are here?

The realms of perception can teach us a lot about each other. Out of Nebraska, this podcast aims to empower its listeners through real life conversations. Since time is everything we have and don't, it's important for us to preserve our mind and soul through turbulent times.

Discussing self-liberation, prominent issues in society, awakening, and embracing our own evolution, it gets deep. Life is short, so ask yourself: are you truly living, and who are you living for?

Stoicism offers rationally grounded, proven psychological techniques for the gradual development of consistent self-mastery, and emotional detachment from those elements of the human condition that tend to cause the most pervasive and unsettling forms of fear, anxiety, and avoidable disquiet. In the essays in A Life Worth Living, William Ferraiolo examines what it means to incorporate Stoicism into 21st century life, adapting classical Stoic philosophy for the modern day.
