R
4:46Ryan MaxwellGUEST
But yeah, as you rightly pointed out, I'm not sort of traditionally or wasn't born in Switzerland myself, but my family have actually... lived in like about for the last 20 years so i've been coming here for 20 years actually as a tourist prior to them working here for the last year so kind of seen it from both sides of the table and it started out with my sister she moved here 20 years ago as a physiotherapist and then my parents moved five years later so 15 years ago and they've lived out here afterwards so yeah kind of home away from home and now very much become the solid base so yeah Not Swiss myself, but half English, half German, speak the German language.
R
5:21Ryan MaxwellGUEST

Episode 27: The Hidden Germans of the White House
C
19:37Christopher DillonHOST
But the next president we're gonna look at represents a very different chapter in the German-to-American story, and this is Herbert Hoover.
K
19:45Katja HoyerHOST
Yes, his ancestry connects us to the 19th century waves of German and Swiss German, uh, migration, um, to the Quaker communities in America, and to the extraordinary westward expansion that helped create the United States.
C
19:59Christopher DillonHOST
Now, Hoover doesn't tend to place very high up on the list of successful or popular presidents.
C
20:04Christopher DillonHOST
So outside the United States, if he's remembered at all, it's as the guy that was in charge when the Great Depression hit and who rather fatalistically sat back and let things take their miserable course.
K
21:17Katja HoyerHOST
And William Penn himself had founded Pennsylvania as a refuge for such persecuted religious minorities, and this also included many German-speaking groups.
K
21:27Katja HoyerHOST
So over time, these communities became intertwined in a way, more defined by religion than by their original ethnic identity or by the, by the place in Europe where they came from.
K
21:38Katja HoyerHOST
So Quakers married into families of Swiss German and German ancestry, and successive generations gradually moved west as new farmland became available.
K
21:48Katja HoyerHOST
So that moment, uh, or that movement, rather, westwards is the defining element here.

Amanda Prorok on Robot Teams, Physical AI, and Trust
A
4:45Amanda ProrokGUEST
I think that speaking multiple languages is not only about the actual functionality of speaking multiple languages, but it also teaches you to think in different ways because every language comes with a culture and you have to understand the culture to actually communicate with the people.
A
4:59Amanda ProrokGUEST
So when I'm talking in English, I'm a different person than when I'm talking in Swiss German or French with my husband, or I lived in Japan for two years or Japanese with...
A

the people I was working with when I was in Japan.
A
5:11Amanda ProrokGUEST

I
33:53IngoHOST
I know I've ranted about this before, but it's actually quite charming, right? Like instead of goodbye, or instead of danke, they say merci.
I
34:03IngoHOST
You know, and instead of...
I
34:07IngoHOST
It's very, it's not all French, but it's, you know, it's a lot of little French and it's just got charm.
I
34:16IngoHOST

I
34:18IngoHOST

Blaser Rebellion of Institutional Christianity in Switzerland
C
1:27Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
This feminine imbalance sets the stage for the masculine to operate out of its lowest calling, dominance and control.
C
1:35Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
When the masculine drops into its darkness, it builds a world driven entirely by transactional dominance, where everything and everyone is treated as a resource to be colonized and consumed ultimately losing its humanity today i am here to close the door on that corrupt transactional reality to understand how we reclaim sovereignty over our world i had to look directly at the ancestral lineage of my maiden name blazer it is a swiss german name tied to the wisdom embodied in jeremiah 31 33. teaching us that wisdom and knowledge are transmitted from the soul of God and written directly into the hearts and souls of people, bypassing scripture and religious institutions.
C
2:22Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
With this higher knowledge, Blazer stood firmly against the treachery of institutionalized Protestant Christianity in Switzerland, while also embodying the martyr archetype.
C
2:34Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
Interestingly, In 2016, their ancestors, the Amish, led the way to healing Christianity's manifest destiny wounds with native tribes.
C
2:43Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
Swiss Germans are structurally complex.
C
2:46Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
What can I say? Anyone familiar with the Swiss Germans knows that we operate on a unique psychological frequency.
C
2:53Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
We are often described as double German, meaning within our worldview, everything must be double perfect, meticulously structured, and bound by an unyielding work ethic.
C
3:05Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
My ancestry helps explain why my work is so structurally aligned with two more Swiss Germans who were close friends in Zurich, Albert Einstein and Carl Jung.
