  • Like other interviews I’ve done with members of the political class, this one again shows their psychotic inability to see that the real world trumps the political world. The contemporary British Establishment is a cult that believes in two extreme worldviews:
    Vulgar Utilitarianism: the complete inability to see the value in doing anything because it is good in itself. Everything is a function of the question “does it work?” - which practically results in a chronic short- termism, and the notion that ends always justify the means (e.g., it’s okay to lie if it will take you into “power”).
    Absolute Post-modernism: the complete inability to see that some things are objectively real, such as the laws of physics. Everything is seen as a “point of view” and a “belief,” apart from the belief that everything is subjective which is insisted upon with rigid dogmatism.
    The reason the political class is taking us to civilisational collapse is because it cannot think straight. It has lost its moral compass and any analytical intelligence. It exists in its own closed world.
    Worst of all, it cannot feel emotion - the entry point for a change in one’s worldview. When did you see a political or media figure cry about the betrayal of our youth, our country, our world?
    The political class is DEATH itself - there can be no compromise with it. It is never going to save us in the time we have left.
    We can only save ourselves through a political revolution which puts ordinary people in power through assemblies - not because “it will work,” but because it is the right thing to do.

    This is the BBC’s refusal to emotionally engage with the truth in a nutshell.

      Completely. The interviewer just could not grasp that in the midst of a crisis you respond to your visceral emotions we do not decide to engage in a cogent argument with the fire brigade about whether or not to put out the fire in your home, or the paramedic to stem your spurting blood!!

    Hallam is a sophisticated thinker. He is absolutely spot on wrt the scientific facts on the ground which Robinson does not understand and decides not to sufficiently care about. This lack of scientific education at this place of the BBC is astonishing and its effects are lethal.

    The lack of gravity in the voice of the interviewer makes me feel that he's treating this like an interview about a conspiracy theory. It's insane. The interviewer has to know something about the subject and connect in an emotional human way. We need a climate scientist like Peter Kalmus taking the position of interviewer on the BBC, not one of the spokespeople, knowingly or not, who has been taught and trained from pre-school years to act in a predictable manner. If the interviewer had at sometime broken out of the mold of his directed training, he would not now be doing this job at the BBC (as Noam Chomsky has pointed out in a previous interview with a household name on the BBC akin to Nick Robinson). He has the job because he's a 'safe mouthpiece' for the established elites. To a large extent this reminds me of the Hardtalk intervew with Stephen Sackur that Roger Hallam did in 2019.

    • @mawkernewek
      @mawkernewek 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      the senior Westminster journalists who end up as political editors of the BBC etc. are trained to treat the Westminster psychodrama as real politics, not whatever happens out there in the real world, which is just backdrop to them

    • @robertdavidson8028
      @robertdavidson8028 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      The previous interview by a household name with Noam Comsky was of course Andrew Marr,who subsequently left the BBC as he felt he wasn't at liberty to express his own views rather than those, I'm guessing, of the producer who was whispering /shouting in his ear through every interview, and who now (Andrew Marr that is,)expresses his own views, which, to be honest, I haven't heard many of , due to my lack of interest, but those I have heard are pretty MoR by modern MSM standards, i.e. akin to someone on the right of the Labour party, or maybe the Lib Dems. It seems too much to ask of anyone that has worked for the BBC that they ever agree with, or even engage with, in any seriousness, any point of view that is radical, progressive or in any sense threatens to bring some enlightenment to the vast majority of their audence.

    Without emotional engagement no political protest movement can function. Roger asks the public to emotionally take the collapse of Industrial Civilisation seriously. To just frame an intellectual story about the human existential crisis is to normalise it and make it part of the problem.

    A question that allways crosses my mind when I see interviews from you: Did you get in vontact with the teachings of Jiddhu Krishnamurti? I often see such an alertness and readyness to brake the thinking-boxes of the people you talk to. Plus such phrases as "all the rest of it" wich feel like hammered into my brain by so many speaches. This way of thinking is what fascinates me about you the most. Thanks a lot for all you do.

  • @McInerneyEoin
    @McInerneyEoin 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm glad I started watching this channel because it clears up the argument for me. At it's core, it is the moral question. Do we as humans have a responsibility to each other as humans? My answer is no. If a poor person dies because I didn't save them then I did no wrong. I never had a responsibility to them in the first place. I want to live in a society we all contribute to. I will not live in one where we are all responsibile for each other. Im a good person and I dont care about. Being a good person doesn't require caring about all people.

    Watching this depressed me for ages. It seems like liberal centrist dads have a lot more of a problem with engaging with this than old-school Conservatives. I have heard both Michael Heseltine and John Major say it is totally morally unacceptable to sit back and watch billons strave to death, but no other politicians. I wouldn't have expected that at 19, but I suppose I can understand now.
    A telly program getting Nick to connect emotionally would be really powerful, I wonder if he would ever do it. But just I terms of his job, it's really odd he didn't seem to think the interview would go this way, given its typical Roger style.

    This shows how people differ, and to what extent they are able to adapt to factual information and engage completely with facts. It also shows an inability to extrapolate and visualise what a horrible future we're on a trajectory to create. Laughing it up or smirking, whilst in the full journalistic knowledge that crops (our food source) are failing around the world, that floods are destroying communities & infrastructure, and human displacement & human life is being lost at scale already, is sociopathic if not psychopathic. How else could you describe it!?

    I'd like to speak to you about what I can do to help allocate power/agency toward this issue in a broad sense. I'm extremely curious about your perspective.
    A huge amount of this is support systems. I have less time to allocate to these issues because I have to make sure next month I can still also focus on these issues. It's weirdly mid-long term, and that interacts with out systems of growth which wastes our efforts on things that are creating more problems.
    I've not carefully chosen my words as much as you as I think it limits the sharing of conception. That had caused me to alienate maybe 2/5 of the people I've interacted with. Carefully chosing your words is interesting but limited because we have Type 1 and 2 thinking.
    I know you're probably thinking "That's nonsense and not important, take direct action" but counterpoint: we want to optimize the amount of agency dedicated toward this issue front loading as much as possible but also ensuring that agency remains allocated there for as long as it needs for our survival. We have to consider the depth of ourselves and those around us as systems and that means talking about bullshit sometimes, I've seen a billion interviews from you but saying the same thing over and over genuinely has diminishing returns. The conception of your "audience" has evolved and the depth must with it. As much as this is a horrible emergency we need that depth to address the issue long term.
    Also: not from UK, this is a world issue
    Also: we must act in good faith, we can't let our "statements" to the world be misheard, regardless of our reasons for making them. We have to fight in earnest to not just be heard but be understood
