Our Text:Sin and Confession on the Eve of the Reformation by Thomas N. TentlerShow Notes:Sam Harris I can now attest that the experience of grappling with an expert is akin to falling into deep water without knowing how to swim. You will make a furious effort to stay afloat—and you will fail. Once you learn how to swim, however, it becomes difficult to see what the problem is—why can’t a drowning man just relax and tread water? The same inscrutable difference between lethal ignorance and lifesaving knowledge can be found on the mat: To train in BJJ is to continually drown—or, rather, to be drowned, in sudden and ingenious ways—and to be taught, again and again, how to swim. Whether you are an expert in a striking-based art—boxing, karate, tae kwon do, etc.—or just naturally tough, a return to childlike humility awaits you: Simply step onto the mat with a BJJ black belt. There are few experiences as startling as being effortlessly controlled by someone your size or smaller and, despite your full resistance, placed in a choke hold, an arm lock, or some other “submission.” A few minutes of this and, whatever your previous training, your incompetence will become so glaring and intolerable that you will want to learn whatever this person has to teach. Empowerment begins only moments later, when you are shown how to escape the various traps that were set for you—and to set them yourself. Each increment of knowledge imparted in this way is so satisfying—and one’s ignorance at every stage so consequential—that the process of learning BJJ can become remarkably addictive. I have never experienced anything quite like it. – from The Pleasures of DrowningLuther’s Attack on Gallow’s SorrowPeter Lombard – SentencesDuns Scotus and the ScotistsJoint Declaration on the Doctrine of JustificationOODA Loop – Top Gun Ken Korby – Beichtspiegel / Confessional Mirror iTunes Reviews:   Batman – The Long Halloween Awaken with JP – The Tony Robbins Experience The Crazy Russian Hacker Man in the High Castle – Amazon Prime Electric Dreams – Amazon Prime Jordan Peterson – 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos Stephen Lawhead – Pendragon Cycle Ender’s Game – Orson Scott Card Wrinkle in Time – Le Guin Fantastic Voyage – Asimov Elfstones of Shannara – Terry Brooks The Frankenstein Chronicles (BBC) Alice in Chains – Dirt Mad Season – Above Help – The Beatles Rick and Morty – Young Rick Queen and David Bowie – Under Pressure Headbanger’s Ball Documentary Whose Line is It Anyway?
