  2. 2 min in and I'm already wondering where was he during the civil rights era? Did he forget that people got killed and imprisoned for voicing their opinion ?

  3. If I demand my right to speak up at the work place I get fired. If I demand my right to be at that decision making table I get fired too. So freedom of speech isn't worth much if I end up poor lonely and homeless

  4. As far as I can observe, American politics seems to be divided into two camps. Capitalists with a pro-gun, anti-abortion agenda, and capitalists with an anti-gun, pro-abortion agenda. Basically capitalists fighting over cultural and religious issues. Authentic Marxists or Socialists appear to be extremely rare in mainstream media, let alone in politics.

  8. What I take from this is, that nation-states will eventually gravitate towards fascism as both ideologies are founded on separating people into an in-group and an out-group. Fascism acts as a multiplier of national identity. So, to fight fascism one has to re-think the nation-state.

  9. They should give half of Germany to German and European Jews after the war and let the Jews and Muslims in the middle east live their lives . The genocide was done by German Europeans with the help of neighboring countries and Germany only should be accountable.

  13. While you can't debate the data... it does require a debate on how to significantly lower CO2 emissions. We are running a huge experiment here, no one fully understands the impact +4 degrees will have on human life on this planet. No one shoots heroin straight into their heart and hopes for the best.

  18.  @chaim5397  no Sir, Europe has been carrying out genocide after genocide. Every single region that they invaded is either in their debt or fighting over the crumbs and the mess they left behind to this day. China might be the sole lucky exception. Their ideology of the nation-state has brought only misery to normal people.

  19. German here, I my school we studied the Surplus Theory or the Mehrwert-Theorie based on the Arbeitskraft. The Arbeitskraft is defined as the ability to do work. The worker offers Arbeitskraft on the market like any other commodity such as wood (bec that's all she has). The price of the Arbeitskraft is given by the effort it takes to create or pro-create the Arbeitskraft. How much does she need for food, shelter, education, to raise the new generation of workers determines the value of her Arbeitskraft. Like I said Arbeitskraft is treated as any other good (Ware) on the market. Given now that the value of the Arbeitskraft is negotiated absolutely fairly between her and the capitalist, how then does the capitalist generate any Mehrwert? That is the only sustainable mode for a capitalist, put X in, get X' out. The capitalist will let the worker work for 4h so the worker can cover her costs but the worker goes on for another 6h. The additional 6 h is where the Mehrwert is generated. According to Marx this is "Ausbeutung" (Exploitation). Exploitation doesn't need to look like a cobalt slave mine in DRC, the principle is what counts. 2 take a ways. You are not getting paid for your work your are getting paid to maintain your ability to perform that work. If you own stock but you still have to sell your Arbeitskraft then you are still a worker not a capitalist.

  20. German mathematicians who happened to be also Jewish were "expelled" from Uni b/c when they taught their students that Pi can't be calculated with exact precision, Nazis "argued" that Germans are able to calculate anything at any precision. Claiming otherwise was obviously a Jewish attempt to weaken the German Volkskörper. shivers

  21. 8:18 exactly let's blame India who joined the fossil fuel party last week... also don't let off China, to whom the west has conveniently outsourced all its CO2 emissions for cheap goods. Poor Stone...

  29. Why the masses always vote against their own interest is one of the mysteries of humanity. Subconsciously? Out of fear the rich will retaliate? Contrary to the fake warmth of Nationalism there is neither unity nor a common cause but people still fall for it.

  34.  @treali  this will definitely be the trajectory when AI continues to serve the capitalists interests of a selected few. But the last word on whether true AGI will ever be possible has not yet been spoken. To indulge in fatalism now would be foolish and unnecessary and the best chance we stand is if AI remains transparent in the open with real democratic agency.

  35. @Nathan Abbott sure, but we are discussing artificial intelligence now and here and how AI can evolve under democratic supervision and not as a vulgar tool to make millions redundant. Whether or not the existence of biological brains prove artificial GI remains to be seen. And possibility doesn't include feasibility.

  43. 7:25 that's why Capitalism has to go. A life spent working where the only reason of being employable is to increase someone else's wealth, is a wasted life. These self-help gurus guides never address this.

  44. ​ @C_R_O_M________  Without nationalism and capitalism, there would have been no need for Hitler, Stalin, or Mao. Both ideologies have left us with major economic crises and two devastating world wars
