#38: David Bentley Hart: What Atheism Has Never Actually Challenged
What if atheism’s most celebrated arguments — Dawkins on complexity, Hitchens on morality, Harris on science — were never aimed at God at all, but at a caricature so philosophically crude that no serious theologian in history would recognise it? That is the central provocation of one of the most intellectually formidable theologians alive today. In this episode of The Prometheans, Ali Zaka sits down with David Bentley Hart — Eastern Orthodox philosopher-theologian, author of over 1,000 essays and 24 books, winner of the Michael Ramsey Prize in Theology awarded by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the man whom The Guardian called the author o...

#36: Carl Jung on God and the Inner Life | Mark Vernon
In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore the profound psychological and spiritual insights of Carl Jung and ask a timeless question: Is the divine something we discover within ourselves?Jung did not treat God merely as a theological concept, but as a living psychological reality—an inner experience emerging from the depths of the psyche. Through ideas like the collective unconscious, archetypes, and the process of individuation, Jung argued that the journey inward is simultaneously a journey toward the Divine.We discuss Jung’s radical claim that religious experience is not inherited belief, but direct encounter—what h...

#35: What Friedrich Nietzsche Really Meant by ‘God Is Dead’ (It’s Not What You Think)
Friedrich Nietzsche declared God dead — and the modern world largely agreed. But what happens when neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science begin validating the very ideas Nietzsche used to challenge religion? And what does religious thought make of a man who, in trying to destroy it, may have understood it better than most believers?In this episode of The Prometheans, Ali Zaka sits down with Zachary Strong to explore the strange convergence of Nietzsche's philosophy with contemporary science — and what that convergence reveals about meaning, morality, the will, and the sacred. From the will to power as a prec...

#34: Are You Living the Wrong Life? Nicomachean Ethics Explained | C. D. C. Reeve
What does it mean to truly flourish as a human being? Over 2,300 years ago, Aristotle wrote the most compelling answer ever put to paper — the Nicomachean Ethics. In this episode of The Prometheans, we sit down with Professor C.D.C. Reeve (UNC Chapel Hill) — one of the world's foremost Aristotle scholars and the translator of the Nicomachean Ethics (Hackett, 2nd ed.) — to unpack Aristotle's vision of the good life: happiness, virtue, practical wisdom, and what it means to live well.From eudaimonia to phronēsis, from the golden mean to the contemplative life — we ask whether Aristotle...

Trickle Down Episode 17: Earth's Most Destructive Organism Part 3 (Sample)
Just a couple years after Thomas Midgley, Jr. invented leaded gas in the 20s, he followed up that achievement by inventing chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, which were sold by Du Pont under the brand name of Freon. The crown jewel of his work was the creation of Dichlorodifluoromethane, or CFC-12. This substance allowed for more people to experience the wonders of electric food refrigeration as well as indoor air conditioning. For over 40 years everyone assumed the Freon was perfectly safe, and in fact safer than other chemicals used in refrigeration. It wasn’t until the 1970s, years after Midgley had died, th...

Leaded gasoline could not have become a universally-used commercial product without an enforcer. Someone who was dedicated to protecting the status quo position that leaded gasoline was safe to use and not a threat to the general public. And that enforcer was named Dr. Robert Kehoe. In 1925 he was appointed chief medical consultant of the Ethyl Corporation and remained in the post until his retirement in 1958. Though he continued to fight for leaded gasoline after that and he lived until the 1990s. Thomas Midgley, Jr. might be the one responsible for inventing leaded gasoline.

Thomas Midgley Jr. invented two things that were used all over the world. Firstly, he invented leaded gasoline. This helped car engines operate more efficiently, but at the cost of spewing poisonous gas everywhere. The second invention is Chlorofluorocarbons or "CFCs." These substances, which were sold under the brand name Freon, had widespread applications in refrigerators and aerosols. But it was eventually discovered that these CFCs were eating away at the ozone layer in Earth’s atmosphere. Ozone depletion allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface, which can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The fa...

Exploring The Full History Of Halo 4 | Video Gameography
After tackling Metroid in Season 1, the second season of Game Informer's Video Gameography podcast moves on to one of the biggest shooter franchises in existence: Halo. This week, we examine 343 Industries' first stab at the series with Halo 4. Halo 4 was released on the Xbox 360 on November 6, 2012, and was a big return for Master Chief, who hadn't been seen since 2007's Halo 3. Development of the game wasn't perfectly smooth as Ryan Payton, of Metal Gear Solid 4 fame, initially pushed the team to experiment with Halo's sandbox. However, the game was still a massive hit.
