On Soul School today they are some insights from the 2004 essay by Paul Graham “What We Can’t Say” (I’m reading excerpts). It has intellectual rigor and serves as an important reminder of the purpose of taboos in relation to power, how moral fashion works, and covers resisting our default setting of thinking what we are told to think. I don’t embrace all of his examples nor have I landed in the same places as some of his conclusions, but his thesis is a worthy one, and we are wise to listen and be challenged by it.

3 Paradoxes of Time That Can Change Your Life [SSL163]

Today, are some insights from the book “The Time Paradox: The new psychology of Time that will change your life”, (by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd). I learned about this book through Derek Sivers and his amazing book notes.

We misperceive time and reality depending on our habits of time-focus.
Feeling anxious and threatened gives us a misperception of time itself.

Eps 180: Jesus of the East; Guest, Phuc Luu

Today, I’m delighted to introduce you to Phuc Luu (pronounce his name- Fōō Lēw). Born in Southern Vietnam, Phu escaped with his family after the war, when he was young, and grew up in Houston. He is a theologian, teacher, podcaster, and artist. His book “Jesus of the East: Reclaiming the Gospel for the Wounded” has opened my eyes to a kind of Asian Christian Liberation Theology that adds much richness to my understanding of what God is up to. It’s must-read! Listen to our important conversation.
