Today, we’re sharing an episode of ReThinking, a podcast from the TED Audio Collective.

Each week, Adam dives into the minds of interesting people to learn the unique ways they think and find practices we can all apply in our daily lives to live a little better.

I miss this show. please come back 😭
That is what I was looking for, what information, present here at this site! https://www-prepaidgiftbalance.me/
A medium? Really. How disappointing.
the question I'd pose is, when a rat or rodent dies, do all these speculations about disembodiment and sprouting wings etc apply to that? Isn't there more evidence to support the simple explanation that the absence of life is simply that, and life is over?
Reminiscent of the Monkees episode where Frank Zappa and Mike Nesmith played each other.
Thanks for sharing very nice posthttps://payslipview.wiki/
Can the universe exists without observers and who can these observers be?
Not bad, but I miss Radio Rental. Anyone know of any pods similar to RR?
I love your show metaphysical milkshake it is amazing it can literally change the world for a better place I have a question that I keep asking myself about it From the beginning of history the human has Gods why would the human make or imagine something superior of them and he/they can control their lives? I would love to see your answer
"clowns come and go" - my favorite line. Loved this episode, thanks guys!
as much as I love this show, saying that fox news is bad while not saying CNN is just as evil is fucked up and wrong. CNN is just as much a problem as fox
Another great discussion. One of the best podcasts out there. Keep it coming.
Recommendation reading Genesis in the original Hebrew. The sense of the words are more similar to preserve, tend, keep, care-for than "have doninion".
What a beast of a podcast! So motivational! Makes me want to get after it and push towards my greatness even more! https://www.prepaidgiftbalance.info/
Thanks https://njmcdirects.online/
RE: Extraterrestrials, I wonder if they are observing us the way we observe gorillas in the wild. If they are so advanced that they have the energy and technology to travel vast distances, we are probably so primitive to them to be viewed much as we view apes, not as peers or potential peers but more like advanced animals that they are interested in understanding. It would explain abductions. Imagine the bird captured by humans, weighed, measured and tagged, going back to his fellow birds... he would probably say, I was abducted and probed!! It is fascinating.
