In this episode, Dr. Brent Robbins and I dive deeper into his work researching joy, or finding “the good life”. We go into the 4 kinds of joy and the existential tradition behind the modern understanding of what joy is. We get deep and nerdy about joy, but in the end try to find out where true joy comes from. We also see the four kinds of seeking joy in the great movie Groundhog Day.
Dr. Brent Robbins works at Park Place University.

Dr Brent Robbins was an Atheist when he studied psychology in graduate school. In evaluating patients, instead of hearing them talk about mental issues, many of them used language like they were lacking joy and meaning in their life, using transcendent language. This confused him at the time, but now makes more sense to him as a Catholic. Dr Robbins shares with us his journey in studying and practicing psychology and how it led him to his research in joy.

We talk with Adam Schroeder about how machines learn compared with how children learn. We both share our experiences as engineers compared to our experiences as parents and make some comparisons of the similarities and differences between how machines and children learn.

I sat down with my good friend Adam Schroeder who is the Director of the Robotics and Automation Design Lab at the University of Toledo in Toledo Ohio. We talked about what it means to be an engineer, what led him into engineering, and some of the joys of breaking things and trying to put them back together again.

After over 1 1/2 years, I am active again on YouTube with this new show Nerding Out! The aim of this show is to explore the intersection of the sciences and faith. How do we think of the creation of the universe in light of all we are learning in the fields of astronomy and physics? How do we view our souls with all we are learning in psychology? Is philosophy important to our lives, both spiritual and physical? We are going to delve deep into these questions, and do our best to have fun along the way. Nerding out is both a rigorous process of diving deeper to understand something, but it is also diving deeper into something you love. Let’s nerd out together and find a deeper life along the way.
