Episode Description
In Episode 3, we lead in with quotes from chapter 1 of Erich Fromm's book To Have or To Be, which describe differences between the two modes of existence: The Having Mode and The Being Mode. We give a positive #COVID-19 update, as well as dive into more in-depth description and discussion around the two different modes of being. We present two poems which describe each mode. We do a shallow dive into evidence of the dominance of the having mode of existence, as it appears in our language and commonly used phrases. We discuss later the characteristics of being, and our friend Richard shares a special story with us to end the podcast. We hope you enjoy!

Reparadigmed Podcast
Nick Paine, Matt Westlake
We think Jesus of Nazareth is the king of the land and of humanity. We also think the Bible is a gift from God that gives us wisdom for being human. We aim to “reparadigm” our modern theological and ethical systems to conform to originalist readings of the Bible that honor its ancient Jewish context. Because the Bible is patently NOT a rulebook of universal moral principles but is rather an anthology recounting the grand narrative of human restoration, we think that its wisdom, though antiquated, has binding significance for our present contexts. American Evangelical theology often finds itself adrift from the Bible's ancient contextual moorings, and the bad fruit of modern, western readings continues to become evident in the church and in culture. Evidence of this bad fruit includes all forms of nationalism, exploitative economic and social systems, and consumeristic disregard for God's good creation. This sad commentary has led, not surprisingly, to a widespread rethinking of Christi
Rethinking Environmental Praxis, Disciplinarity, and Subjectivity
総合地球環境学研究所 / Research Institute for Humanity and Nature
The Anthropocene is a recently proposed definition of the new geological epoch. That it is the name of the geological time means that time of the Anthropocene covers the entire globe. But how can the whole Earth be covered by one epoch? Even if so, how is human subjectivity and experience measured and evaluated in this time duration? The way how human subjectivity and self exists differs from culture to culture. On the one hand, the concept of the Anthropocene is hallmarked by the concept of nature/culture divide developed in western civilization. Seen under the light of the East Asian experience, however, it can be defined in another way. There might (or must) be another (or plural) environmental subjectivity in this globe; To think about the Anthropocene is to re-think about “our” idea of environment in multiple places.
