#741 ft. IPS Researcher - Why Religion is Rising in SG & Can AI Replace God? | Dr Mathew Mathews

from Yah Lah But

Dr Mathew Mathews joins us to unpack Singapore’s latest race and religion survey by IPS, from national identity trends to why many still rank religious and ethnic identity above being Singaporean. He’s the Head of the Social Lab & Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, National University of Singapore, so he definitely knows what he’s talking about. We explore sensitivities around discussing race and religion, as well as public backlash to some of his past studies.𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗣𝗦 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿Religious Identity and Practice Among Singaporeans𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗸𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆If you’re looking for a meaningful gift, get 20% OFF and FREE local shipping on all Folklory orders!From now till 24 Nov 2024, with the code “HOHOHO20” at Folklory.com!𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴Terence: The real story behind Apple's chip bump | The VergecastHaresh: Shohei Ohtani Hits 3 Home Runs, Throws 10 Strikeouts in NLCS Game 4Mathew: Carrot Cake (made with carrot juice pulp)𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 – "𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝘁”Get a roundup of our One Shiok Things & first dibs on our latest launches delivered straight to your inbox!
