    I’m so grateful that there are people like Chomsky with the intellect and courage to see things the way they are and hold your ground no matter what is thrown at you.

    9:30 - great discussion.
    Reminds me of overthrowing a king. You attacked a castle, and it’s a struggle but you win. You can’t help think that it was a little too easy, though. Turns out, the king was in a different castle. Still just to siege that castle, but it didn’t strike at the root - and perhaps the king didn’t fully mind sacrificing it.
    Kind of like MLK- he and his movement won a lot, and it was a hard battle. But the real power of the country was not against him- they were relatively sympathetic. As soon as he turned his attention to the heart of the matter: capitalism, he was vilified. Soon after, he was shot. So who knows what would have happened?
    Climate change is the most important issue of our time. Nuclear weapons is second. We have to get these priorities in order. The others, like women’s rights, gay rights, civil rights, gun reform, etc, doesn’t mean anything of we’re dead.
    So what do we do about the issues? We should strike at the heart of what causes them. The cause isn’t simply the hopeless stupidity and shortsightedness of the masses-it’s the ignorance and shortsightedness of the ruling class. The ruling class today are ardent capitalists. Capitalism needs to be addressed-so class, inequality, labor, unions, issues that are closer to addressing this, are much more pressing.
    We can certainly walk and chew gum, but narrow focus on a singular issue, even if a noble one, while ignoring all others will get us exactly nowhere. What we need is systemic change, in politics and business, but also in philosophy: in thinking, belief, values, attitudes. How is this accomplished? By education ourselves, and educating others. Then by organizing with others, and lastly by taking real individual and collective action in the service of achieving goals- goals that should be developed in conjunction with others, using historical examples and the examples of other nations.

    i like the how the surface of the table in the shot makes for an effect like if the webpage under video had a domed shape and overlapped the video

    10:40 Disagree here. That would be one major less diversion possibilities for power to point to. Also the culture would be made more prone to humanism, which is good for leftism. Also, the material conditions could be made a little better by doing so as well, and the better the material conditions people are in, the more prone they are to critical thinking and research of quality information. Which is really good for the far left since we are right.

    Imagine the level of resolve a species would have if it decided to go back to when they were doing the equivalent of us riding horses.

    Its true that the culture you're a part of in sometimes reflects in the kind of scientific work you do. For example, some scientists studying animal behavior put a dead bee on a flower to understand how that would affect the waggle dance of the incoming bees. This predator-prey way of looking at evolution is a remnant of European barbarism, I think.
