See  Carefree Wandering on the Commodification of Philosophy .  Hans-Georg Moeller is a professor of philosophy at a university in Macau, China. He is doing some remarkable stuff bridging Eastern and Western philosophy! I'm awestruck! That said, this whole Philosophy Tube thing looks to me like some kind of theatre of bullshit and it makes me feel sick. My confidence in YouTube is very flimsy.

Carefree Wandering on Commodification of Philosophy

Image
As he points out, this one goes back to the dawn of classical Greek philosophy! The carefree wandering of thought. That is a great idea, as long you don't publish that thought in any way, because you are likely to get into trouble, maybe even with the law, in some countries like Britain and France. Do be sure to read the warning at 13:59 ! 😀

Aurora Stories

Image
A few days ago Aurora invited people to listen to these songs of hers and to think about the stories that they tell. This is what I call Tennyson semantics , after Lewis Carroll's references to the poet laureate's declaration to the effect that he is quite happy for the reader to lay any interpretation they reasonably can upon anything he writes. See  Live With Aurora - Stories . .

Adam Curtis - HyperNormalisation

From 2016. Now with subtitles in many languages. I take exception to his statement at 0:50 . There are many who have a better idea but we have been isolated from each other. See from 1:39:42 on the effect on Hollywood. Now look at a graph of coffee consumption in the UK and the USA. There's some interesting stuff here about Kissinger in Syria in the mid seventies. At 1:00:33 Gadhaffi, you gotta love him!😀❤💓💕 When you're treaed like a dangerous animal, the only way to survive is to become a more dangerous animal. Then eventually you became so dangerous that you yourself no longer need to survive. 1:28:00 That older idea of democratic politics being "a way to give a voice to the weak against the powerful" should have gone away in the early sixties. 2:12:42 Egyptian "Arab Spring" uprising.

The Trap

Image
It's sprung, gentlemen. This was broadcast on BBC2 Television in 2007. There is a clip very obviously missing at 2:28 which, according to a comment , went like this: This was CUT out from the intro at 2:28  - 'This is a series of films about how this strange & paradoxical world came to be created. It begins in the dark & frightening days of the cold war & it will show that what we have today is a very narrow & peculiar idea of freedom which was born out of the paranoia of that time. It is based on an image of human beings as selfish isolated & suspicious creatures who constantly monitor & strategise against each other. The film will show how politicians & scientists came to believe how this idea of human nature could be the basis of a new free society. But what none of them would realise, was that within this dark & distrustful vision lay the seeds of a new & revolutionary system of social control. It would go on to use the language of freedo

Daniel Kovalik on US Intervention in Guatemala

See  this piece on the RT web site  ... At least 200,000 Guatemalan civilians, mostly Ixil Mayan Indians, were killed in what is now universally recognized as a genocide carried out by the state. As the Center for Justice and Accountability explains, “the Ixil Maya faced extreme torture, mutilation, sexual violence, and violence against their children.” And the military regimes carried out their war against the Guatemalan people with significant US assistance, particularly during the Reagan years of the 1980s.

Imagining a Future

Oats Studios "zygote" ... But someone just asked me, in all seriousness, whether I thought the world was now ready to see a video of Hilary Clinton slicing off a young child's face. I have come across references to something like this more than once, so there definitely are a number of people out there who take seriously claims that some sort of diabolical cult of child-mutilating-and-murdering people who are well-known public figures, exists and has some significant influence in the public sphere. You would think that merely the existence of people who believe this group exists would be enough of a motive to develop secure communications technology, wouldn't you? See  Why is Secure Telecommunications Important? Now watch Zygote:

Look up the e-mail I sent my daughter and Vanessa Spedding just before Christmas 2015 where I asked her if she wanted me to return to Britain. I did that because I had seen a coded job advertisement at Roedean and I was 90% sure I would get the job. It would have paid well enough for Helen to have been able to spend a year at Roedean before going up to Cambridge. I asked Vanessa to help me get in touch with Helen, but I didn't receive any reply from anyone. The rest, as we say, is history! We can't let the living take all the blame, can we Andy fucking Hopper! See  Why is Telecommunications Security Important?
