Tripolar niclear conflict has everything to do with capitalism. It is literally, at base, the United States believing that in order to save its world hegemonic [capitalist] empire that it must seek conflict the world over in order to subjugate any non western aligned states. This is, at root, the cause of every conflict for which the large connected picture he showed a bit ago portrays. 57:30

10 minutes in and all I hear is highfalutin language plus little substance. Can we cut the BS and give a straight answer?

Wow, this guy has provided a treasure trove of hyperbolic high faluting phraseology which could fill the back pages of Private Eye for many a year... So hopeless to guiding our understanding of what is happening in the world.

thoroughly refreshing

I hope Adam Tooze opens up a book like American Empire and the Deep State by Aaron Good. His understanding of the deep state of the US is lacking

The last question about China and the Global South seems rather naive. I also don’t think Tooze is being pessimistic; instead, he’s being realistic about the limitations of statecraft in addressing a polycrisis. While framing everything as a derivative result of capitalism might seem accurate, it doesn’t necessarily help our interlocutors or audience fully grasp the complexities of the situation. Moreover, Marxist language, in itself, can be challenging for many to digest, which further complicates its accessibility.

Very informative, well articulated, but so narrow minded. Thank you to the guy that asked the question at the end, looking though the lens of the worlds majority.

Informative presentation from Tooze; excellent comments from Fraser

What is wrong with Gabriel? Is it politeness towards his conversation partner or is he now on the path to turning away from all the content of his previous philosophy when he recently praises the achievements of AI? Where is the Gabriel who gave, only a few years ago, in "The Meaning of Thought" detailed reasons why only living beings (and not computers) "think"? In this work, he explicitly agreed with the critics of strong AI Searle and Dreyfus that we only understand (sic!) linguistic expressions because we have a background of biological equipment and socio-culturally acquired abilities. How does this fit with his statement in 28:25 "I do have to admit it would strike me as outrageous if one still defended the view that this (> LLM) doesn't understand". So suddenly there is no longer any difference between human and machine "understanding"? Seriously? And when Kehlmann expresses the assumption in 1:01:55 that Gabriel is moving closer to Wittgenstein with each of his projects, Gabriel does not contradict this, but says that later Wittgenstein's theory of language may be the most appropriate theory of AI. Not a word against the semantic nihilism that almost inevitably follows from Wittgenstein's position and which undermines any philosophy that focuses on facts - as Gabriel's neo-realism. Where is the Gabriel who let the facts speak in a combative manner and never tired of pointing out the fundamental difference between man and machine? One can only hope that Gabriel is not on the (wrong) path of squandering the valuable impulses he gave to modern philosophy with a critique of neurocentrism and a (neo)realist view of AI. One would like to shout to him: Go back to the beginning, please!!!

О как все продумали,какого вам воевать чужими руками?

Very insightful 👍

“Universals produce occult pseudo-entities” - Dharmakirti, a 7th century Sanskrit epistemologist working in the Buddhist tradition of the two pramanas/proofs of perception and cognition… The contention here concerns the separation of the two and the nature of fabrication whereby the universal colonises and dominates the particular At the level of the concept itself, the separation of self-consciousness from the consciousness of objects produces a state of rest and a state of movement each within and limited to their own spheres - simply called non-fabrication.

Lol. Double down on that it's solely about economics after losing resoundingly. Thankfully you never learn.

The topic is close to my heart. Will go read the papers.

A pity he's just reading the text. Deadening.

Max, if you went to the Heschel School, I'd love to get in touch.

Relieving ..thanks

Thank you for taking such an interesting and inspiring interview.

Thank you very much Adam!

It's too bad that they didn't include the miners in Namibia who have been dismissed for defending themselves against the new Chinese bosses who bought the uranium mines. The situation in Namibia seems to be much different than what these speakers are putting forth.

*_“In capitalism economic activity, success, material gains, become ends in themselves. It becomes man’s fate to contribute to the growth of the economic system, to amass capital, not for purposes of his own happiness or salvation, but as an end in itself. Man became a cog in the vast economic machine - an important one if he had much capital, an insignificant one if he had none - but always a cog to serve a purpose outside of himself.”_* Erich Fromm "Escape from Freedom" 1941

Brilliant

brilliant conversation! thank you both.

At least ironic given The New School's employment of the NYPD to crack down on anti-colonial and anti-genocide student protesters recently.

Why have a talk if your microphone is trash

The first question was a lecturer in its self. Amazing how people can attend talks and see it as a platform to make speeches followed by a mundane routine question. Thank the speaker for their talk and ask your question. It’s not a stage for people to deliver long irrelevant preambles to a routine question. The follow up question was also based on waffling on before getting to the point of the question. Poor Chalmers - he is a very patient person

a very boring read. written academically and only for academic asslickers. the book is the opposite of over-simplification.

Hi

I think Boehm has his points. The thing is, that 07.10.2023 is not acceptable. The consequences are Israel invading the Gaza Strip. What ist the future? As Palestianians only believe in Hamas and Iran we need a state of Israel in which Palestinians and Jewish/ Israel people live in ONE state. There is no 2 states solution, because poeple have their soil and their homes (inside Israel). Who wants to move, and who can move? Netanjahu should move in thinking. And all Israelis should. What is Gaza strip? What is a Palestinan state? The West Bank?

Lectio Magistralis. I have just bought the Audiobook and can't wait to start listening. Dr. Mattei explanation is brilliant, it is such a pity she is almost unknown to the Italian public

Thanks very much

The fate of the human species literally hangs in the balance with respect to how we heed the message of this talk.

Right on in many respects. Also shows serious blindspots in terms of long term population size, and misstates Half Earth which is not about totally removing people, but rather removing industrial harmful extraction practices on enormous scale which exploit the poorest of the poor as "beastly" labor. That vile exploitation of people and vast natural habitats which is ever growing under current global systems.
