- "And if we are to live together and not to die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet." Bertrand Russell in this capture
In 1959, Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), the Nobel Prize-winning philosopher, mathematician and peace activist was just short of his 87th birthday, when he gave wide-ranging interviews to the BBC and the CBC.
In this capture, Russell giving life lessons - lessons about critical thinking, love and tolerance - to a generation living 1,000 years in the future. Interviewer: John Freeman.
Excerpt from the video "Bertrand Russell - Interview ("Face to Face", 1959)". In full length here: • Bertrand Russell - Int...
Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, and social critic. At various points in his life he considered himself a liberal, a socialist, and a pacifist, but he also admitted that he had never been any of these in any profound sense.

TRANSCRIPT:
INTERVIEWER One last question: Suppose Lord Russell this film were to be looked at by our descendants, like a Dead Sea scroll in a thousand years time, what would you think it's worth telling that generation about the life you've lived and the lessons you've learned from it?
BERTRAND RUSSELL I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral: The intellectual thing, I should want to say to them, is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only "what are the facts, and what is the truth that the facts bear out?" Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think could have beneficial social effects, if it were believed. But look only and solely at: "What are the facts?" That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say. The moral thing I should wish to say to them is very simple. I should say: Love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other. We have to learn to put up with the fact, that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way. And if we are to live together and not to die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.
“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.”
― Bertrand Russell

1. Look only at the facts 2. Love is wise and hatred is foolish
thanks for the amazing summary
Some people need to realize that you put number 1 before number 2 when thinking about tolerance. Just because someone in the 50s said to be more tolerant does not mean you tolerate anything and everything that has come out since then.

full contradiction right here ahah. 2. is not facts. What fact will you use when there is a problem in society, and mankind for 50 years has tried to solve it, what fact are you gonna use? when there is none, only imagination in that case and the try of something new which is not based of fact can help find a way out.
Did he just hit us with a 'facts don't care about your feelings'
So, is that mean he and ben saphiro ralated?
Yes, yes he did.
That's what I was thinking too!
Dont get it twisted the guy was basically libertarian socialist.
@momentinpassing What facts has he ignored?
"Love is wise and hatred is foolish." - Wow , words to live by.
Simple, but very effective with the air of authority and wisdom Lord Russell exudes.
How feelings (Which we do not decide to feel, and we do not have total control over) can be wise or foolish?
And if they can.... are they always only wise or only foolish?
I don't think so.....
Despite having watched it probably a hundred times when I was younger I only just discovered that Peter Capaldi's doctor is quoting this in his regeneration speech. It's good to know Bertrand's wisdom has been immortalised not just in this clip but in a tv show that generations of children will grow up with.
There cannot be love without a strong hate towards the things that threaten what you love. Love without hate isn’t true love it’s just virtue signalling and being tolerant is not being one with love, for tolerance of that which is destructive/dysgenic is pathological altruism and being pathologically altruistic is not doing what’s best in your own self evolutionary interests and going against your self evolutionary interests is going against natural law and going against natural law is being against nature. Being against nature is being against God as God is nature so by being an overly tolerant hippie that blindly shouts “LOVE NOT HATE” you hate God, you are an agent of destruction with inverted values and will bring upon civilizational collapse and mass suffering all in the name of virtue signalling for social brownie points. I will never tolerate evil or anybody who is an agent of destruction or esoterically speaking a slave of Saturn. You are too much of an NPC to understand what that is though.
"Love is wise, hatred is foolish"
- One of the great soul of history.
Wise words, but don't forget/ignore the first piece of advice in favor of the second. They both go hand in hand.

They were heard... But sadly ignored.
"In this world which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like." Words of wisdom!

I can’t believe that someone born seemingly that long ago is so much wiser than anything or anyone I have met during my time alive, really gives me some perspective
Main stream media wasn't around to dumb him down.
Really, your assumption was/is that people today are generally more wise than in the past? That's pretty funny.
Not surprised, if you study history and read what people have written in the past you will find the longer back you look the smarter and wiser people were. We are definitely de-evolving. This is a byproduct of prosperity, it will take great hardship over a very long time to get us to start evolving again. Which I doubt will happen anytime soon.
@@1024det we can build from our suffering and difficult experiences, and never allow yourself to become bitter👶💕
Why would you think someone of that era could not be as wise or wiser than modern people? Many of the greatest thinkers are from past eras and I believe that is because they took time to think.

“Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man.” Bertrand Russell, 'Fact and Fiction'
Positively
I wish it was true. Man has been at War with each other since creation and it will be at War with each other whether on this planet or the next.
It's not important if it is Fact or Fiction, it's the truth...
I think that was part of the citation lol
The problem with that idea is that it can't work. All peoples must abolish war, because if even one people choose not to then they will rule... or the others will be forced to make war to defend themselves.
Any goal which requires everyone to do something will never succeed. A world of peace makes the threat of war an effective weapon in and of itself. As Tolkien wrote, "“It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two, Master Warden,' answered Éowyn. 'And those who have not swords can still die upon them.”"
This needs to be shown to every human alive
And should be a required read in school
It is logical, concise, clear, and self-explanatory, with no cumbersome mathematical language. Professor Russell was clearly a great intellect of his time.
And his words did actually reach the future, because here we are.

I hope more people find this footage because it bears a wisdom seldom known. People in this time would rather be harsh. Saying things like "Facts don't care about your feelings." And it is very true, but the way people say it is wrong. This man brings up two points of wisdom I have lived by and will always try to live by. I know many who read this comment won't understand, but this man says all that is left to say. Thank you for reading.
Most people only say "facts don't care about your feelings" to those who ignore facts in place of their own personal feelings... Some people react to kind/ postive criticism and some people just have to be shown how ignorant they really are.
What happens when evil is only met with love? Evil flourishes. Dont be fooled by peoples moral egoism. Sometimes its wise to hate, while love is foolish.

It's that level of connection that made the pandemic what it was.
The biggest mistake was that we all fell for the pandemic health measures! The proof is how many fools are still walking around with masks after it all has ended!

I don’t even know who he is but he’s spitting facts.
Just looked him up a British philosopher. These old vids have been popping up a ton for me recently of different people talking good stuff. The one good thing about internet algorithms
Bertrand Russell, the 3rd Earl Russell. His work had an impact on a whole range of topics and he was one of the most prominent philosophical minds of his time.
in 1901 he found a paradox regarding to the set theory, which was published around the 1850s by Georg Cantor, who was a German mathematician. That shook the field of mathematics at the time.
@@benjamindrhee And what did he do to move the ball forward in his next half-century? It’s like Stravinsky writing the three masterpiece ballets as a young man and nothing which comes close in the decades thereafter.
Same
He's not saying anything we don't already know, he's saying things we still won't do.
Don't love people who hate and despise you, the message to woke dopes who are killing our country with 3rd world migrants, the religion of peace.
That’s a good point. Well said!
Thank you Rocky Balboa
That's it Rocky! All your strength, all your power, all your love. Everything you've got. Right now!
@aDg 2k18 You're about 930 years off my dear friend. We're doomed. Nothing matters, but that's a good thing! Live it up
An Immortal Message.
A huge respect to Bertrand Russell, he was such an ahead of time kind of person!
He would be, being part of the elite that set the agenda... Suggesting a world government and military to advance the happiness of humanity is odd, to say the least. No offense to anyone currently or formerly in the armed forces.
“Love is wise and hatred is foolish.”
I need to get my shit together
Good luck with your new perspective.
It's easy to hate.
Me too
The first step to getting your s*** together is acknowledgement. Then you're subconscious mind will help you change. Which is growth

Wise words that should be heard more often nowadays. Timeless message of wisdom.

@@daddylee4216 An extremely valid and poignant point you make, as his statements are contradictory really. The main point is that only when mankind embrace a universal way of living according to genuine truths can we become a peaceful, harmonious global society. Thus, only genuine truth will do, which is always embodied in and out of the Diviner Will, for Love is Truth and Wisdom, for Love is the flip side of Justice. My second point is that to be tolerant, and agree with, or coerce with people's opinions, and thereby become accommodating to falsehood, are two things entirely divorced from one another, for is it not said that when we judge, we are judged, and rightly so. However, it is our right, and responsibility to discern what we meet upon our paths, and choose the right and truthful options, even if it leads to your death, for only the deepest commitment and loyalty to Truth and Justice connect us to real Love, which then leads us spiritually and morally upwards to the eternal fields that we all sense within exist, so why sell yourself short, and follow another man's beliefs? For Truth is both Love and Freedom, which do not come easy, due to the fact that so many people are lost, scared, arrogant, and full of hate; and so attack those who have the courage and audacity to aspire genuine Truth and Freedom. In fact a moral compass I find is that those who aspire to Truth will always be hated and severely harassed by the bound masses, who cannot bear true freedom, nor the inner contentment that comes with the attainment of real knowledge. Finally, might I suggest that true knowledge comes to our spirit through the longing to be virtuous, and being true to your intuition and inner voice, which forms part of our conscience, if it is not dead and buried, and warns us of false and wrong paths. So man just has to listen within for wisdom and truth, rather than use his intellect as the speaker suggested, for the intellect applies only to a pure earthly fact, but not matters of the heart, so I stress one last time, the distinction between the earthly world, and that of the spirit, the latter of which cannot be seen, for it is of a different density, but we can sense it, and the guidance that comes from it, if we remain open and pure to its admonitions and urgings, which are always intuitive, not intellectual.
@@nialloneill5097 He was also making those points 60-70 years ago, well before any of this illogical bs started happening. The broader point to take away is, should we all try to come together on points we agree and vote on other points where we disagree? Obviously the answer is yes. Unless you are on the "far" left, in which case it is mandatory to shout down anyyone who may disagree with you.
@@colebyrnes7889 True harmony will only come when all agree to agree, which will come, after the terrible storms caused by all these disharmonious energies and opinions, which are all fear-based. Only that which stems from genuine love is truly sustainable, and liberating, for love is at the same time justice, perfect justice. First men must become pure, hence the purifying storms that are coming with increasing intensity, until there are no impurities left. And then, true love will flood the earth, and bring true happiness and harmony.
May I just say I love how intellectual and respectful this conversation is? I personally have liberal leanings, and would like to contribute some food for thought. First of all, as far as saying the “far left” shout down anyone who disagrees with them I think holds a cornel of truth but would also like to add that the right do this too, and both need to be more open to the others philosophies for the sake of better decisions. As far as the issues of transgenderism, I agree and disagree. I think that people are beginning to take things too far, with trans-racial and trans-abled and things like that, and while I do wholeheartedly agree in the science of there being two biological sexes, I also think we need to face the fact, as Russell would want, that some people are born with extra chromosomes (approximately 1/600) considering that roughly .3% of the US population identifies as transgender, it’s not unreasonable to assume there is a correlation. Another thing to consider is that gender is a social construct in a different way, sex, race, and age are. Gender is not two sides of a (rough) coin, it’s a spectrum and a representation of yourself. That being said I think there is a line at which the science of this matter stops. Ze/Zir and other pronouns/identifications I don’t think are necessarily accurate. What I do think, though, is like Neil de Grasse Tyson, one of the greatest scientists of our time has said, is that regardless, we should still respect others and as Russell said, tolerate them. I understand it’s getting a little out of control and I don’t believe it, but I’m willing to support it, the same I don’t believe some of these opinions on transgenderism to be accurate but support the freedom of speech to voice it and applaud the respectful debate that pursues. On a side note I’d like to ask how everyone here feels about vaccines? If we’re going to be scientific here, I’d like expect everyone to be vaccinated considering the extensive research done. Looking at the facts, we had just shy of 700 mass shootings last year, AR-15’s were present in 26% of them, and guns like that and other Assault Rifles (im aware of the difference between AR15s and other assault weapons) are designed to be able to kill the most amount of people in the shortest amount of time. That’s simply the fact of the matter, so why don’t we recognize that these weapons are not meant for civilian life, that countries who don’t have them don’t have these major mass shootings, and that there is no real gun control in America, at least not sufficient. I have friends who go to completely different schools that both were victims of school shootings, it is a problem and a lot of people don’t want to admit it or do anything about it. I’m not trying to be a raging leftist, but let’s not be hypocrites here, I admit the left has a problem with facing facts and accepting others views but we had a president who denied losing an election with no grounds, who never had approval ratings of above 50% and lost by a landslide in the popular vote, create an insurrection, because YES that is what it was that ended with 6 people dead. And 98% of Trump supports said they’d vote for him again after that, and a lot of people just want to ignore the gravity of January 6th, even though at the time, even republicans were talking about how crazy it was. Governors are running and claiming Joe Biden lost the election and is a pedofile? And say nothing about Matt Gaetz who’s under federal investigation for sex trafficking? Ted Cruz’s porn addiction? Trump who’s been married three times, insulted women, had an affair with a porn star and talked about getting away with looking at women topless and grabbing them? I’ll admit, the Biden campaign has been a disaster, but can you admit to the hypocrisy of the right and the drastic affects of that hypocrisy? I’m sorry I’m not trying to rant, I want to keep this conversation respectful, I’m just a 15 year old who’s looking to find his own political opinions. Heated topics but let’s keep good vibes.
Wisdom like this never goes out of date.

What Russell MEANT was that if we can't get along with each other, we're going to kill each other until, eventually, there is no one left. That's all he meant. And if you don't agree, let's start a war to see who is right!

@@singmysongsong9723 In a way, yes. Rape is abhorrent. I completely agree with that. But hatred itself does nothing but lead us to make bad decisions. For instance, whenever sexual assault allegations come forward, many people make a quick assumption on who's lying and then never question it. I think the allegations are rarely false, but it's important to not let our emotions come before our assumptions. That's exactly what Russel was talking about in his other point.
The world has not aged well😭
A man from the past, sorely needed in the present and future.
We have them, but the narrative chews them up and spits them out
He would already be banned on Twitter for offending someone.
People say : I the land of the blind, they one-eyed man is king.
I never adhered to this phrase, though it might have been true in the past.
I'd say :
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is regarded the fool.
Plot twist: 1) there is never just one black and white "truth" , 2) Love and Hatred are the same thing, not opposite things. Hatred just happens to be Love contamined by Anger. Anger is ephemeral, but when it sickens the Love, it turns it into Hatred. The opposite of Love is actualy indiference/apathy, and that is the sickness that rot the society. People cut out Love to avoid reaching Hatred. But they only do that because as they fail to cut out Anger.

Well said. The 14th century Persian poet, Hafez Shirazi, said nearly the same around 700 years ago. “The ease of two worlds this and the next is the explanation of these two words
With friends ,kindness with enemies ,courtesy .”
Beautiful message, absolutely valid for today! Thank you 🙏🏻
This man is a genius. I’m sure if he was still alive, he’d be disgusted by the current state of the world. If this world is going to strive, we need more people like this guy.
You're 100% right about this dude.
We need to reap what we sow. The saying shouldn't be "there should be more people like them" it should be "we should strive to be like them." I hope you have a good day
Ngl I’m pretty sure the world was as fucked up back then as it is now, only difference is that we are interconnected right now like we have never been before which makes everything so accessible to see what happens anywhere around the world with 1 click. Humans always been foul it’s just more visible and compareable right now thanx to technology and social media
What are you doing youself about it
The world was definitely more messed up back then lmao, no one was tolerated then
60 years on and we need his message more than ever.
David McDonald true, but we don’t need to have distain for each other because of it
His words are relevant now more than ever
Sadly it will fall on deaf ears
@David McDonald There will always be ignorants, don't expect everyone to listen even if you tell someone the truth it's up to them to believe it or not.
Amen.
62 years and we need it even more
We need to learn to tolerate each other ,,,I need to hear this everyday to release every negativity that occurs in me

“Love is wise and hatred is foolish”
Damn, it doesn’t matter who you are, these are words to live by.
Yes, this is true and tolerance is good to a point until the decline of morality seeps in . Does anyone recall Sodom and Gomorrah? Well you better start believing in stories...Miss Turner.... cause your in one!

Love is wise, hatred is foolish - 6 simple words which express so much.
Hear, hear
And yet as ironic as it is, the more interconnected we become the less we communicate and so the less we love thy neighbour.. 😔
6 simple words which are most difficult to master
@@wolfruhn You should watch this video again.
Ironically, this line does against what he says at the start; that we should look at the facts.
The rapid changes in the society due to significant events is making this message ever more important.
Or it’s making this message irrelevant. Try to tolerate and accept todays ignorant class (both liberal and conservative) and you will get MORE hatred and MORE ridiculous behavior. You definitely won’t come to a common understanding or peace. His message does not work in todays “Jerry Springer” society.
His philosophy doesn’t work when you’re dealing with a different kind of ignorance which is where the media is pushing society towards.
It’s not the same as having disagreements with people of sound mind.
These gems of wisdom, still so relevant generations later.

Last?
@@logicalconceptofficial No, happly. After him was Jean Paul Sartre, and, still alive, Noam Chomsky, the most important thinker and politic analyst of these times. By the way, Chomsky used to have a Russell portrait in his office. The idea of "put attention to the facts" in essencial in Chomsky's politic analysis. Read Chomsky.

Wise words. People forget how to love, sometimes we don't know how to do it. We close our ears and don't listen, even to our deepest selves. But we can do it, we are still here.
Saving this to my playlist, definitely worth revisiting
“I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say.
The moral thing I should wish to say… I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”
What I'd have done to have sit down for two hours with Bertrand. He's changed my view on life entirely.
Thanks for transcribing that bit Palden, saved me a bit of effort after too much wine :)
I love this.
N Kh the generated ones are pretty accurate
On the contrary.... an answer doesn't have to be complex nor profound in order to be wise... you need only look at the politicians today to see firsthand how true his words are - sadly.

@@exemplaryname Doctor Who (TV Show) reference
@@duderyandude9515 I wonder if the writers of Doctor Who quoted this man on purpose or just a happy coincidence.
What many people don't want to admit or acknowledge is that the love and tolerance he is promoting is NOT in regards to those you agree with. That's easy. He's talking about love and tolerance for those you disagree with and in some cases even those you dislike.
Edit: I made a comment promoting peace. The amount of pushback this got is incredibly worrying, to say the least. I urge you all to make a conscious effort to consume less fear mongering propaganda. If you're so distraught that you're offended by peace, it's time for you to step away and detox for a bit.
Apparentely it didn't work on people Russell himself disagreed with. I mean he was advocating for nuclear strike on USSR. Until they got a bomb on their own (which he said they wouldn't be able to do) and then he did 180 and started arguing for nuclear disarmament.
Overall the guy was a priviliged scumbag and atrocious human being.
that's impossible tho, finding heaven in another planet is far more possible than that.
He was very clear. If people can't understand what he's saying, it can only be wilful ignorance.

Great message that is applicable to all generations. But somehow we are doing the opposite.
Some people simply won't like other people. Some deal with that by doing everything in their power to either make them change or to make them disappear, while others just try to ignore them.

The advice given is relevant today and 1,000 years from now (If our species lasts that long)
And he would be devastated to find out that 60 years on, we as a species decided to ignore both his points: Facts don’t matter anymore and morality is considered a weakness
Very true.
I doubt he would be so devastated. The human race has been ignoring advice like this for centuries, and we have never learned, and we probably will be for centuries beyond. The only thing that would have been unexpected or bizarre is if we finally listened to reason.
Not to be so cynical mind you, we are continually improving everything as a civilization towards betterment, and things will get better by gradual step by step. We already have so much less hatred than we did at the time he spoke, but it is still a problem, and it probably always will be.
kajestro m. You made me laugh so hard...Thanks 😂👍🏻
Well speak for yourself. I don't remember humanity ever making you the spokesperson of us. Facts don't matter to you, but it does to me as an individual and if I may be bold enough to speak for humanity, facts matter to them as well. Morality has almost never been considered a weakness so as to say. A good morale is the strength of an individual and a community without a sense of moralism won't be able to stand where it is today.

Theres a thread in this comment section which started as “did he just say facts dont care about your feelings?” And of course the answer was yes, but then a whole bunch of people were arguing about a bunch of different things. And one of the things i saw the most was people disagreeing with “facts dont care about your feelings” I personally dont care if you agree with that statement or not, but disagreeing and saying its wrong is literally proving it right
In 2 minutes he sums up all our problems we experience today, and how to fix them. Will we never learn?

Like me. I permanently deleted Facebook back in 2011 and I don’t have Instagram, Snapchat or Tik Tok. And in 2009 I was allergic to conversations about Twitter and MySpace was the last straw for me. My girlfriend’s brother and sister on law just moved in their new home and as they were taking pictures they immediately post them online. They were using social media lingo that lost me in translation. I was genuinely happy for them and celebrated them without any social media. It’s a poor excuse to feel that you matter in the world.
