In this interview with @charliestyles about her recent book, Broken Planet, @SharonDirckx addresses why we are vulnerable to natural disasters and diseases. Is it possible that human factors also play a role in our vulnerability to their dangerous effects? youtu.be/AzT3IXs7Dbk
Some scholars used to argue that the resurrection was an "add-on" idea invented by the church years after Jesus' death... But @simon_a_edwards explains that nearly all historical scholars, whatever their beliefs, now recognise three key minimal facts: youtu.be/uPDA0AHtUQo

In the next episode of ‘So You Want to Live Forever?’ @Benny_T_247 and @sarastevo explore optimistic nihilism, which argues that, although the universe is meaningless, we can find meaning in other ways. Together, they consider the challenges of this view: youtu.be/POuhFT_8XzI
Human dignity, the belief that we all have a right to be treated justly, is universally essential and a bedrock in society today. But where does this belief and this felt sense of justice come from? youtu.be/bv7lMP0_gDE
Join @Benny_T_247 and @ProfJohnLennox in a new episode of 'So You Want to Live Forever?' series as they delve into transhumanism's quest to extend the human lifespan and defy mortality using technological advancements. Now live on YouTube: youtu.be/d1mqjrN4Tvw

asked her some questions and long story short she had 5 years clean and relapsed a few months ago. The ppl she was with stole much from her. She was very disheveled and crying about her dog. It was intense. We got ahold of her dad who was so kind, and kept calling her sweetheart
that he was going to get her help. I got her insurance info, we found out her dog was fine, and we called a rehab in Nashville I knew was in network with her insurance. I handed it off to those who could help but when I went home I just thought about how easy it is to pretend
