Andrew Root returns to the podcast for a fascinating conversation about the work of German sociologist Hartmut Rosa.

This episode is sponsored by Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump underscores the ever-present threat of political violence in the United States. In such a time as this, the Christian work of peacemaking in our communities is essential.
So, what are we to do? The ways of the world are violence, retribution, dehumanization, political and religious extremism, and living in echo chambers. Instead, we can choose to love radically and work courageously for authentic and positive peace.

In this episode, I am joined by one of my favorite scholars in the public square, Robert Wright, the editor of the Nonzero Newsletter. This is a captivating discussion about artificial intelligence, consciousness, and the future of humanity. We explore Wright's extensive work, including 'Nonzero,' 'The Evolution of God,' and 'Why Buddhism is True,' while delving into the intersections of science, religion, and philosophy. Discover the implications of AI for humanity, the critical role of international cooperation in technology governance, and the moral and spiritual dimensions needed to navigate rapid technological changes. The conversation also addresses the complexities of sentience, cognitive empathy, and the evolutionary drives in AI, with insights from philosophers like Teilhard de Chardin and Alfred North Whitehead.
Robert Wright is president of The Nonzero Foundation. He is the author, most recently, of Why Buddhism Is True. His previous book, The Evolution of God (2009), was a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

I am so excited to share this conversation with two of the people behind the film entitled Sing, Sing. If you have seen it, you know how powerful the movie is, and if you haven’t — GO SEE IT! You will not be disappointed. (Check the trailer.)
The film is based on a true story, weaving through the lives of incarcerated men involved in a theater group. The narrative is enriched by the presence of some of the actual characters and a creative team who spent time teaching their own acting classes in prison. The film weaves themes of humanity, hope, transformation, and friendship into a narrative that challenges cultural labels associated with incarceration. The movie left a lasting impact, underscoring the power of community and the dignity inherent in every individual.
My friend and filmmaker Sarey Conception was also moved by the film and joined me to talk with the director, Greg Kwedar, and actor, Sean San Jose, for the podcast. She was moved by their intention and dedication to storytelling, which resonated deeply with her as a fellow filmmaker. It's a daunting task to create a film, especially within the complex landscape of the business side of cinema. Yet, Greg and Sean describe a unique approach to filmmaking, fostering a culture of light and storytelling in which the process of making the film matches the heart of its story.
"Sing Sing" is more than a film; it's a testament to the power of community, equality, and the human spirit. By challenging traditional narratives and fostering a genuinely supportive environment, the filmmakers have created something truly special. We both loved the film and our conversation with Sean and Greg. We hope you'll take the time to experience "Sing Sing" and appreciate the depth it brings to the discussion about art, justice, and humanity.
