01) Making Sense with Sam Harris #158 – Understanding Humans in the Wild (with Adam Grant)
“In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Adam Grant about the social science of the workplace. They discuss how teams work effectively, the nature of power, personality types and fundamental styles of interaction, the critical skill of saying “no,” creativity, resilience, the strange case of Jonas Salk, the nature of mindfulness, the power of cognitive reappraisal, reflections on mortality, the replication crisis in social science, and other topics.
Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist and professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. As a leading expert in bringing social science into the workplace, he hosts WorkLife, a TED original podcast, and writes on work and psychology for the New York Times. He is the author of Give and Take, Originals, Option B (coauthored with Sheryl Sandberg), and Power Moves.”
“Michel Foucault was a philosophical historian who questioned many of our assumptions about how much better the world is today compared with the past. When he looked at the treatment of the mad, at the medical profession and at sexuality, he didn’t see the progress that’s routinely assumed.
“Michel Foucault (1926-1984) was a French 20th-century philosopher and historian who spent his career forensically critiquing the power of the modern bourgeois capitalist state, including its police, law courts, prisons, doctors and psychiatrists. His goal was to work out nothing less than how power worked and then to change it in the direction of a Marxist-anarchist utopia. Though he spent most of his life in libraries and seminar rooms, he was a committedly revolutionary figure, who met with enormous popularity in elite Parisian intellectual circles (Jean Paul Sartre admired him deeply) and still maintains a wide following among young people studying at university in the prosperous corners of the world…”
01) What is EPHEBOPHILIA? What does EPHEBOPHILIA mean? EPHEBOPHILIA meaning, definition & explanation
“Ephebophilia is the primary or exclusive adult sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19. The term was originally used in the late 19th to mid 20th century. It is one of a number of sexual preferences across age groups subsumed under the technical term chronophilia. Ephebophilia strictly denotes the preference for mid-to-late adolescent sexual partners, not the mere presence of some level of sexual attraction. In research environments, specific terms are used for chronophilias: for instance, ephebophilia to refer to the sexual preference for mid-to-late adolescents, hebephilia to refer to the sexual preference for earlier pubescent individuals, and pedophilia to refer to the sexual preference for prepubescent children. However, the term pedophilia is commonly used by the general public to refer to any sexual interest in minors below the legal age of consent, regardless of their level of physical or mental development. The term ephebophilia comes from the Ancient Greek: ???ß?? (ephebos) variously defined as “one arrived at puberty”, “a youth of eighteen who underwent his dokimasia and was registered as a citizen (Athens)”, and “arriving at man’s estate”; and ????? (-philia) “love”. It has been used by Dutch psychologist Frits Bernard as far back as 1950, and reprinted in 1960 in the gay support magazine Vriendschap under the pseudonym Victor Servatius, crediting the origin of the term to Magnus Hirschfeld with no exact date given. The word was in fact first used in French (éphébophilie), in Georges Saint-Paul’s 1896 book, Tares et Poisons: Perversion et Perversité Sexuelles. The term has been described by Frenchman Félix Buffiere in 1980, and Pakistani scholar Tariq Rahman, who argued that ephebophilia should be especially used with regard to homosexuality when describing the aesthetic and erotic interest of adult men in adolescent boys in classical Persian, Turkish, or Urdu literature. The term was additionally revived by Ray Blanchard to denote adults who sexually prefer 15- to 19-year-olds. Mid-to-late adolescents usually have physical characteristics near (or, in some cases, identical) to that of fully-grown adults; psychiatrist and sexologist Fred Berlin states that most men can find persons in this age group sexually attractive, but that “of course, that doesn’t mean they’re going to act on it. Some men who become involved with teenagers may not have a particular disorder. Opportunity and other factors may have contributed to their behaving in the way they do”. Ephebophilia is used only to describe the preference for mid-to-late adolescent sexual partners, not the mere presence of some level of sexual attraction. Generally, the preference is not regarded by psychologists as a pathology when it does not interfere with other major areas of one’s life, and is not listed by name as a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), the ICD-10, or as a paraphilia. However, the preference can sometimes be diagnosed as a disorder if it results in dysfunction or exploitative behavior, under the DSM specification 309.2, “Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified”. Researchers state that hebephilia, erotic interest which centers on young pubescents, has not come into widespread use, even among professionals who work with sex offenders, and may have been confused with the term ephebophilia, which denotes a preference for older adolescents. It is concluded that “few would want to label erotic interest in late — or even mid — adolescents as a psychopathology, so the term hebephilia may have been ignored along with ephebophilia”.”
01) Teleiophilia Talk, The Anne Hill Podcast Show 5 19 15
“Teleiophilia is an age based sexual preference where somebody younger is attracted to people (adults) who are considerably older. It’s an attraction or erotic interest in adults. It’s mostly used to refer to a young individual who is attracted to someone considerably older. Basically it’s teenagers and/or adolescents being attracted to mature adults. This issue mostly affects young girls, I’ve done the research on it.”

01) Noa Pothoven of Arnhem in the Netherlands is legally euthanised
“A 17-year-old Dutch girl has been euthanised at her home. She said the trauma of being raped as a child made her feel she couldn’t keep living.
Noa Pothoven, 17, has been legally euthanised in the Netherlands, saying the pain she was dealing with after a childhood rape was “insufferable”.
Noa, from Arnhem, said in a social media post a day before her death last Sunday that she “breaths but no longer lives”.
Noa wrote an autobiography called Winning or Learning, after sexual assaults and rapes as a small girl led her to develop post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anorexia.
She was attacked three times as a youngster.
…
Children as young as 12 can opt for euthanasia in the Netherlands but only after a doctor determines that the patient’s pain is unbearable.
Euthanasia is also legal in some US states, Canada and Belgium.”
This has got to be one of the single most messed up things I have ever read…
…Not that kids can opt into it…but that this is considered to be a valid reason for it.
It can take many years to work through your issues…That doesn’t mean life will never be worth living again.
01) VIGILANTE FANTASIST Man on a ‘mission from God’ to expose paedos burned down a school and home of innocent victim
“A DEVOUT Christian who waged a vigilante witch hunt and burned down a school after claiming he was on a “mission from God” to expose paedophiles was today jailed for 15 years.
Philip Day, 56, set fire to a secondary school which he falsely claimed was “a playground for paedophiles” and torched an innocent man’s £1.6m Tudor home during an eight-year campaign to “protect children”.
Quoting the Bible and claiming “God” was “justifying his actions”, Day also stalked a teacher in the false belief he had raped a pupil at the school and falsely named him as a paedophile in videos and messages on Facebook.
The unnamed teacher received a chilling message whilst on holiday with his family from Day saying: “If I was you I would asked for police protection.
“You have two options, hand yourself in to the police or hide. Your life as you know it is about to change.”
Gee…
…Should I even say, just how familiar a few of those messages are?…I’ve recieved what amounts to the same.
A lot of “pedophile hunters” are mentally ill, themselves.
01) How a Sex Offender’s Case Before the Supreme Court Could Bring Down the Administrative State
“Gundy has become a cause célèbre among libertarian legal activists, who see in his case an opening they’ve long sought. The question before the court turns on whether Congress delegated too much of its legislative power. It concerns the 2006 Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act—under which Gundy was convicted—a law named after the kidnapped and murdered child of “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh and which established detailed instructions for state governments to maintain sex offender registries. For sex offenders whose original offenses and convictions came before the law was enacted Congress opted to let the Department of Justice set up detailed rules for those registries.
This is where the libertarians and their lawyers have pounced: They argue that Gundy’s case is emblematic of a government that concentrates too much decision-making power in the hands of bureaucrats not directly accountable to the people.”
