So we're just thrilled to have Kristine McDivitt Tompkins here with us today. Kris is a fourth generation Californian, which is very cool.I am only a first generation Californian.
So we know that we all make cancer cells every day. Kris was in her early '30s when she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer, a type of cancer for which there is no treatment.
So next week is going to be very exciting. Kris is executive director of the First Five Years Fund, which is a national organization that focuses on investments in quality early childhood education programsfor disadvantaged children. And Sandy, on the far right, is a director of information systems for Alameda County Health Care Services Agency.
Also, and 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', how could I forget. Kris Phillips is an ABD graduate and a student in philosophy at the University of Iowa.He is a frequent editor to the series as well. He's a metaphysics man, also contributed to the book of 'Coffee, Grounds for Debate'. So without further ado, we'll use the mikes
for Q&A. So please join me as we together explore this tiny town of big ideas this Arrested Development and philosophy. Kris : Thank you, thank you. So what we're going to do today is going to be a little bit informal. We're going to discuss some the philosophicalissues that arise over the three very short seasons of Arrested Development.
And self-knowledge is the next thing that Kris is going to talk about. Kris : Great, yeah and I just had one more point to may be tack on to the end thereof the thing.Tyler: Mm hmm Kris : It seems like this discussion is absolutely perfect to illustrate the point I tried to make it the very beginning. In the introduction.
Tyler:Rocky is the tough one. Kris : Rocky is the tough one, and the stunt doubles.And we can show Emmitt's face presumably because he is shy or something.
Tyler: She does this really adorable thing with an egg where she puts in an egg in her mouth and squirts a packet of mayonnaise and mmmm. Kris : I think she calls it a mayonegg.Tyler: It is a mayonegg Kris : But as a result, we find that she in fact gets sort of lumped in with this.
He she what's the difference. And Tobias says, "Oh here, here, in the dark it all looks the same." That's a good one, that kind of, that's it in a nutshell actually. Kris : That's right. And so we have a really nice quote from one of our contributors here. We're perplexed by Tobias in general and his sexual orientationin particular. Tobias possesses and acts upon both feminine and masculine traits. In the case of Tobias we can say he's an enigma
was that, what Gob was that? Kris : Exactly Tyler:The forgotten Gob, the one without memories?Kris : Right Tyler: Interesting questions about memory, and like that's one of my favorite topics and one of my favorite movies was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, if you haven't
Kris : Exactly Tyler:The forgotten Gob, the one without memories?Kris : Right Tyler: Interesting questions about memory, and like that's one of my favorite topics and one of my favorite movies was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, if you haven'tseen it's excellent. With Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet? Right?
And if you're not that person that you were 5 minutes Ago, then who is that person that it's gonna be 5 minutes from now? Anyways. Kris : Exactly. But Gob illustrates self-knowledge and other ways that, that are helpful. We have this excellent chapter on Sartrian bad faith. Sartre has this sense of what makes us differentfrom other beings is that we have a radical freedom to do whatever it is that we set ourselves
male#1: Wasn't he being subservient to his mother? Kris : Yes, he's always subservient to his mother, that's for sure.That's a fair point. But not to the role itself, not to the role of being a waiter. This is, he thinks, hilarious.
know like what makes something real like I don't know Kris maybe you have, it's a big question. Kris : It's a huge question Tyler: You know like for example like to part to use a wedding example even more, solike I'm an ordained minister according to my like thing that I got from the Internet.
This was when Gob was apparently married for a little while to his Amy Fuller is that her name? Kris : Yes Tyler: His real-life wife played this role of Gob's wife in this episode.I really have to read this, like I wish we could do, we could even do a staged reading of this.
I'll just -- Kris : Do you want to, I'd be happy to-- Tyler: Yes, lets actually. Kris : Oh this will be fantastic, I'm excited.Tyler: I'll play Gob's wife Kris : OK Tyler: So like, just to give this little more context, like, I'm saying, so much of
the role of speaker and hearer in this case. So when Gob's wife says, "I'm in love with your Brother in Law" Kris : You're in love with your own brother, the one in the army Tyler: No, I'm in love with your sister's husband.Kris : Michael? Michael. Tyler: No, that's your sister's brother Kris : No, I'm my sister's brother, me, you're in love with me.
Kris : You're in love with your own brother, the one in the army Tyler: No, I'm in love with your sister's husband.Kris : Michael? Michael. Tyler: No, that's your sister's brother Kris : No, I'm my sister's brother, me, you're in love with me.Tyler: No, I'm in love with Tobias Kris : My Brother in Law?
So moving on to point number four which Kris is going to talk about. Kris : Absolutely. So the fourth way that you're not supposed to live is to ignore the value of experience, previous experiences for knowledge.And I think this is a jarring shift from technical discussion of language to knowledge generally.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : Steve Holt, OK Tyler: "I've made a huge mistake" Kris : "I know the feeling; I had you. I'm your father, Steve Holt, I can't hide from
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : I was going to say I guess just as with any good story, were going to have to call it a day here and leave you hopefully wanting more.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : It might be peer pressure.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : I think peer pressure might be.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : Home builder's Organization Tyler: Yeah, they don't want us Kris : That's right.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : So it's showtime, yeah.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : It's just a reference to the TV show, I think.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris : By and large philosophers, I think, are a fickle bunch.
Sorry, this one cracks me up. So we value the role of experience generally Kris and Tyler: Thanks
two brilliant authors here today who've been thinking about how the latest technological shift changes the world. I have with me here professor Venkat Ramaswamy and uh we also have Krishnan Narayanan. Uh they're co-authors of a new book called the co-intelligence revolution uh that came out just earlier this year. Um, and it's fascinating that they've not only thought about what does the change that's being driven by artificial intelligence do, they're also thinking about what does this mean for people, what does it mean for organizations, what does it mean for
I'm pleased to introduce Kristy Hamilton. Kristy is a science journalist and award-winning author. She's written for Wired, Science Magazine, Business Insider, among many other publications.
So again, we have evidence on this. Kristin Neff at the University of Texas-- 20 years ago-- launched a whole line of research into what's called self-compassion, which shows that self-compassion is more effective than boosting
It also recommends algorithms and meta models for common dish types and regional Indian subcuisines. Krish Ashok is the global head of the digital workplace for TCS, Tata Consultancy Services, helping Fortune 1,000 companies reimagine the future of work, a role that is at the intersection of technology, design, and culture.
And that's the end of the conversation. Krista. There's a question here from Krista.
And that's the end of the conversation. Krista wants to know, what was your experience teaching a course in Master Class?
is it that makes great teams? Kristin Neff is doing a lot of research on this whole realm of self-compassion and demonstrating that, actually, the more we love ourselves, the more creative we can be,
And just this morning, at 6:00 AM, I used my Chum Mat in yoga that will give me a little bit of padding on my knees. Kristian is actually in Edinburgh, Scotland. And he and his wife have a home-based businesses as education consultants.
Krista Tippett is here with us today, which is just absolutely amazing. I'll read a little bit about her first.

She founded and leads the On Being project, hosts the globally-esteemed "On Being" public radio show and podcast, and curates the Civil Conversations project,
That's what I miss. Kristolyn, you were poised to speak. I realized what I was about to say isn't so much about missing something that's changed.
So maybe you'll get to the question of, what do you like that's changed? Kristolyn, what would you like that's changed? Well, I, for one, have not been with it for five years.
You know what I mean? Kristolyn. I'm the opposite.
Krista's excellent question was, where do we get more of the good stuff?
Kristofferson. That kind of changed my life, that idea of being put on a stage and having to win over an audience of people that were booing you, and being so good
Krishna. We understand that ultimately everything is coming from the ultimate state of consciousness,
