What’s the go with Muslims and Communists in the comments

Chomsky proposed that humans are unique in that our minds have the ability to use language in a recursive manner, however, I could see that there may be populations of humans that speak a language that doesn't utilize recursion. In my mind those can be very two different things.

Sad it seems to be just a shallow pushing of an agenda rather than anything substantive

I think an entire dictionary could be written describing the various sub-varieties of bad faith, subterfuge, using process as a weapon, and social engineering, which would be incredibly helpful for society in helping identify/combat them.

Unusually warm, cold.. it's called man controlled weather

Sure, make sense. Ooh, are we doomed! Doomed, I say....

Richard is the most qualified person to speak on this topic.

i’d like to understand Revelations better, but i’m having a hard time following all this….

can someone just explain to me how this book that ends the Bible is different from some schizophrenic vison likely brought on by some weird drug combination?

What of Google's rape via dwave?

"Blissonance" is my favorite. 😆

"Climate resignment" - maybe what the gentleman was going for...

Do you have a dictionary of these neologisms? The sense of both empowerment and connection that these create are positively revolutionary ❤

This is brilliant! We so need this now!

As a representative of the department of excellence I give my full endorsement to this bureau and it's great work to help reverse the collective semantic distortion field.

Democracy lost once and forever. Winner is capitalism, not democracy.

😱It’s coming in soon ❗️

So ... the people would never vote for you to get the land.

They voted in Biden in 1178 BC.

Inside Climate News published an article yesterday about Canada's British Columbia recognizing last month the Haida Nation's title to their historic land--which I find amazing. In "Lakota Nation vs. United States" (2022), there's some discussion of a framework for returning land, but I hadn't realized that the Haida Nation, British Columbia, and Canada had already ratified a conceptually similar framework in 2021, which was guided by the UN's "Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples" ratified in 2007. Within those documents are discussions of capacity building and mutually acceptable shared sovereignty. I'm amazed to see that some indigenous and colonial governments are finding tangible ways to move past seemingly intractable frozen conflicts, and towards redress and reconciliation. (I'd link to these resources, but UKposts doesn't like that.)

whoiss

I thought this was prison Mike and got too excited…

Depends on how far back you take the "indigeneity" scope

Many paths to Marxism...

Micheal Cowan?

I wish the audience would stfu

From the historical evidence to present Day .Humans are obviously being dominated by self destructive ,subconscious, unevolved ,''Primal instincts' .

So reality was written in gw-basic?

It's not encouraging that he takes Gibbon seriously. (Tainter's solid, though.)

The interviewer ignores the questions in the stack of cards and drones on self-centeredly.

Such a poor interviewer at the end of her lecture

It is the Revelation of John

Amazing thought to create. I loved his saying about the problems not being small but that humanity is capable.

25:55 - Wir wissen also jetzt warum die angelsächsischen Eliten in London - und vor allen Dingen Washington - mit Absicht 'überall notwendiges bisschen von diesem Chaos injizieren' - damit sie alleine die zukünftig beherrschenden Ägypter alleine sind, die übrig bleiben. Und zwar mit der hoffnungsvollen Ausnahme, reine Psychologie von schwachen Menschen der Gegenwart, 'Wir machen es aber besser als die damals, wir bleiben nicht nur rückständig zurück und 'als ein Abklatsch von davor', sondern wir blühen auch danach wieder richtig auf für die ganze Welt!' Wenn es also bewusst oder unbewusst Plan gaebe, dann könnte das so aussehen. Was wir aber de facto sehen in dieser Zeit ist die 'Injektion von Chaos' 'durch das Imperium'. Mal schauen also was davon wird ( - und selbstverständlich ist und bleibt eine multipolare Weltordnung mit globalisiertem Handel in Frieden und mit wechselseitiger Verständigung die einzig richtige und überlegene Lösung.) (Und das interessante ist, dass eigentlich alle so lange schon, zumindest im Unterbewusstsein, heute wissen, dass die EU in dem Prozess einer aktive Rolle zu spielen hat - also nicht einfach nur brav an der Seite der USA zu sein hat - sondern einer unabhängigen EU fällt die Rolle des Zünglein an der Waage zu (gegebenenfalls mit anderen wie Indien) den Konflikt der drei Großen, USA, China Russland in die einzig richtige Richtung zu balancieren - Aufrechterhaltung des globalen Handels und einer multipolaren Weltordnung. (Und die war bisher schon rule-based!) Der EU fällt die Aufgabe zu, die Zukunft zu entscheiden - das ist, sicherzustellen,dass es die einzige gesunde Zukunft wird, multinational und in Kooperation, mit Handel in Unabhängigkeit und wechselseitiger Toleranz, der alle befruchtet und reicher macht.)(Vermutlich ist das mit dem gegenwärtigen Führungspersonal der EU nicht zu machen, 'die wirken wie aus der Vergangenheit her zu einseitig vorgeprägt' - also unfrei anders und klüger zu entscheiden und zu verantworten.)

Deez nuts

Let’s have another go; it will be different this time. Before the new liberal order (neoliberalism) there was an old liberal order. We stepped onto an old path that still leads to the same place. 1920s/2000s - neoclassical economics, high inequality, high banker pay, low regulation, low taxes for the wealthy, robber barons (CEOs), reckless bankers, globalisation phase 1929/2008 - Wall Street crash 1930s/2010s - Global recession, currency wars, trade wars, austerity, rising nationalism and extremism 1940s - World war. We forgot we had been down that path before. Everything is progressing nicely and we are approaching the final destination. This is what it's supposed to be like. Right wing populist leaders are what we should be expecting at this stage and it keeps on getting worse. I remember now, it was Keynesian capitalism that won the battle of ideas against Russian Communism. These liberal phases never end well. It sounds so good, but ends so badly. WWIII next stop. The newly developed mythology about liberalism wasn’t based on past experience. This is what it’s like.

Where has sea level risen?

What a goose 🦆

"...that deprive us every year of billions of dollars that might otherwise have gone into productive investment." This is so critical. One wonders what the market would have done with all of those billions of dollars. I wonder what advances in technology did we forego, or how did it get twisted, because these vast sums of money were diverted towards these "negative and sterile purposes". Ike was right to warn us so long ago. The military industrial complex is our greatest enemy.

It's not the book of revelations. Get it right.
