  1. NANO has gone public in NASDAQ, they have investor documents available online. The ROI is still speculative, and requires scale, he did mention that.

  2. Greg believes "The Rapture is the next Event on the Prophetic Calendar". He's on YT saying it. Wow, a time the Bible says no man knows, not even the son of G_d.

  3. In modern tems, much less than 1,000 years, in ancient Greek terms back to the 6th Century BCE. Democracy, a Greek word meaning "Power to the People" 🦾

  4. Usenet was developed in the early 1980s by two graduate students, Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis, at Duke University, but it quickly gained popularity and usage across various academic institutions, including the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Marc Andreessen co-created the first widely-used web browser with a graphical user interface, *Mosaic**, while he was a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Later, he co-founded **Netscape Communications Corporation* in 1994 with Jim Clark.

  5. Is graffiti always "beautiful"? And why do so many choose ugliness, and then others choose to value that ugliness as beauty?

  7. I enjoyed it until he made claims that all great art and architecture comes from the Islamic world. Whoa! That was so far off the mark, and by his standard, a great sin.

  9. 53:58 Gramsci > Marcuse > Davis > Bell > Crenshaw. There are excellent videos online from the late 1970s with Herbert Marcuse well worth checking out, he taught Angela Davis and you can see his predictive power from that time, especially the capture of the institutions and challenge to meritocracy.

  10. The "Summer White House" was only a vacation home on 688 acres of land in Santa Barbara county. The land alone made Ronnie "rich".

  11. Death of Hippie was a mock funeral staged on October 6, 1967 meant to signal the end of the Summer of Love. Organized by the Diggers to convince the media to stop covering the Haight, attendees burned underground newspapers and hippie clothing. The Summer of Love was 1966, it was over during 1967, it had already become a media circus with Bus Tours of the Haight. Greg and NOTHING to do with THE SUMMER OF LOVE.

  12. Biden Signed a Lend-Lease Act to Supply More Security Assistance to Ukraine, it was not a gift, the Act requires Ukraine to pay for what it leases and give back what it does not use.

  13. ? Socrates left no physical evidence of his work, but was recorded only by students like Plato. It's all 2nd and 3rd hand, like much of the new testament.

  14.  @jacquedegatineau9037  Sure Saul/Paul on the road to Damascus, or an epileptic fit. "Text Themselves"? Are you saying they were recorded in the 1st person? The Jew turned Roman, Josephus, non-Christian writes about Jesus, but even that is almost 100 years later. I think of how people today describe events like 9/11 and George Floyd and understand how the "recollections" go awry. I like the canon, it's a repository of human cognition over a couple of millennia, quite valuable, but they are "Good News" stories, and like the media today, cannot be taken literally.

  15.  @jacquedegatineau9037  Josephus born 37 AD, he lived through the 2nd Temple destruction. If you count AD beginning at birth of Jesus, and death around 33, I'd agree. He was a general in the Galilee about 30 years after the crucifix ion, I'd think then he'd know much more than the small bits he wrote about 50 years later.

  16. Big Pharma, and even the government of Canada, are making big investments into it, the NIRVANA pill is coming, just as Huxley predicted, and warned Dr. Tim about.

  20. The current waste issue is with old technology where the rods are only about 10% used before disposal. You can find lots of discussion on waste reuse and mitigation by 3rd generation nuclear tech online.

  21. As a Jew, the description on many levels was just stereotypical. I've looked into my Jewish history at the turn of the 20th Century in Los Angeles. The Jewish community was non-religious, full of socialist ideals, even ran a Eugene Debs summer camp and started a free hospital which became The City of Hope in Duarte, CA. My father and uncle became 13 in the 1930s, neither were bar-mitzvahed. Both my grandfathers lived highly secular lives, even ate pork. There are other factors at work, not just the religious, family structure.

  22. You mean "Pandora's Box" on Sunset and Crescent Heights? Wow, in 1970 we ate Peyote there, but not because we were hungry, just stupid and naïve.

  24. Robert O'Brien went to a segregated College in South Africa, the University of the Free State. He won the position as a scholarship, and returned to his home in California, earning a law degree from UC Berkeley, and then a military career in JAG as a reserve officer. He was correct about Russia/Putin hating Hillary so much he'd help the opposing candidate.

  25. In 1971 Nixon was facing pressure from France, especially, on the conversion of gold to dollars, and his was not a "unilateral" act, as a lot of dominos fell over many years before, we also need to couple that with Nixon's secret bargain with the Saudi's, exchanging US debt for for "Petro-Dollars", whereby Oil became a new standard of exchange. JBP is speaking to anarchists still looking for meaning in life, so what's new about that?

  27. Maajid, you should check out Marshall McLuhan on the subject of how the technology of the written world change civilization, and why going back to an oral tradition, something he predicted would happen, will end in tribal war and violence, not peace.

  28. $40 million+ potential gross ticket sales, appearing in front of perhaps 500,000 people. Let's see how corp media covers this phenom?

  29. Missing is the biology of "pleasure/pain" which is just not the same in everyone; not in degree, not in focus. Many sadist/masochist unions experience pleasure in the give and take.

  30. Chomsky and JBP share a fundamental value, perhaps first asserted by Peter Kropotkin: "Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution" so, they should talk.

  31. I lived in the Bay Area, specifically San Francisco, for a decade, and born in California almost 70 years ago. There's more than a 100 year legacy of counter-Western philosophy and theology in the Bay Area of Northern California. In the late 1960s my favorite was Alan Watts, who broadcast from a radio station in the area, KPFA-FM, who aligned in the Buddhist tradition of Gary Snyder and those anti-Western intellectuals who were published by Ferlinghetti's "City Lights Books", think of Jack Kerouac. But it goes back further, as Yusuf described. I used to buy books at Yusuf's grandfather's store, Fields, it was a Mecca for counter-Western intellectuals in San Francisco, no pun intended.

  34. Rome gave Jews the same rights 1,000 years before Islam. 57:29 - You can still visit the Jewish neighborhood in Rome on the right bank of the Tiber, where Jews have lived for more than 2,000 years.

  35.  @NeoLegendX  Which Jewish scholars admit what? Hijab stated Germany was not a threat to the U.S. Do you concur with that statement?

  36.  @NeoLegendX  I'm exploring your point of view, and if you concur with Hajib on history, this would be very informative to any discussion. Was Truman a "Warlord" who conquered and colonized? I did not say Jews had the same rights as "Romans", but had rights conferred which allowed them to have schools and live under their laws, with some exceptions when they were expelled, but came back. Julius Caesar himself made law that allowed it.

  38. Maajid, cave paintings at Lascaux predate the foundation of your ideas about the written word. The simple act of representing the artist's hand on that cave by blowing pigment, was an abstraction by an individual, and purely subjective. With every sentence you expose your internal hypocrisy, and it becomes even more evident by the patronizing attitude toward the knowledge and experience of JBP.

  39.  @caralho5237  "repressed" vs "civility", how to social contracts exist without them? I deal with both internal and external repression everyday, how could you not?

  40.  @MetalGearyaTV  No, I did not get "endorsement" out of it, he's aware these three are anarchists and asking questions about social responsibility in their framework. How does a "purist" free market function for the poor and disabled, those that cannot help themselves, or those who may have to start from ZERO. JBP has often spoken about that ZERO position.

  42. Maajid, you did not listen, JBP explained your "subject/object" dilemma, making the point that we are both predator and prey, and that the line separating good and evil passes through us all, to paraphrase Solzhenitsyn.

  44. HEADLINE: Tyrannical Kindergarten teachers take over House of Representatives. Arthur Koestler referred to this as paedomorphosis. Perhaps it is a biological necessity we go through this reversion into infancy. Painful like childbirth. Can't wait for the terrible twos!

  45.  @davidmiles-hanschell  No one said climate change is not real. JBP recommended the approach of Bjorn Lomborg, please check him and the Copenhagen Consensus out. Real work is being done, you could be a part of meaningful action, which will give meaning to your life.
