I agree with this video, science first point in this video. Science is just a method to do stuff and explain stuff to do more stuff better. I actually agree with everything in this video. But few stuff: Liberalism is rubbish bs. If you want to be an animle you are f . Liberalism is basically being like flowers of slaanesh, worse than animals. Islam gives a bit of focus on pain and pleasure but that is it. We simply don't care. Most important thing being relaxed and stable. Second, i am not talking about God. (It would take time. It needs a commitment of it is own) Thrid, Darwinism is wrong. Adaptation happens but it doesn't make new creatures. Also, in Islam humans are not animals. Each Muslim human like a miny king. In Islam Humans are God's greats creation, where he made all the angles including main ones pow to the knee to one human/humanity. Magic works but not like how people things. You not making a fire from your hand for example, it is not a fantasy story lol. Especially after prophet Solomon and more especially after prophet Mohammad bearth magic or sorcery power has almost despaired. But less than 1% is still there. This needs a comment of it is own to explain. Islam still true to prophet Mohammad. Extremist are a thing since prophet Mohammad times. He warned from 3 groups type of people whom extremist are one of them. Thus extremist are not partvof Islam. Islam is Islam since prophet Muhammad times. Islam has mechanism for that. We always go back to the prophet and his campaigns.

Quick comment on Galileo's experiment of dropping things from the Tower of Pisa. We've had sailing ships since ancient times. Meaning that those who built and used them had an understanding that air is a fluid with mass that can impose a force upon any object it flows past, just as water moves stones in a streambed. This is why dust rises into the air when the wind blows while inch sized rocks, made of the same stuff, do not. Aristotle based his supposition about the relative speeds by which objects of different weights fall upon this observation. Which is science. What Galileo could have done is have two spheres of material made that were exactly, or as close to exactly as was reasonably possible, 1 inch in diameter. One made of steel and one made of glass. The force of drag imposed by the air would be the same. The downward force of weight due to gravity would be different, proven by using a simple balance scale. The steel ball would land first, proving Aristotle right. However, the difference in speed of fall would be much smaller than the difference in weight. Such an experiment would have proven Aristotle partially wrong, but not totally wrong.

Newton’s theories were so groundbreaking in large part because while describing the laws of motion in mathematical terms he simultaneously was admitting publicly that he still was utterly baffled by how gravity and other “occult forces” he was describing actually worked, and he was really pretty dismayed by how much the theory left unexplained. But that’s how science actually progresses. You explain what you can explain and admit openly that the rest is still up to further inquiry

That right there is why I'm still Christian even after my childhood faith fell apart after high school, but not a fundamentalist. I grew up a fundamentalist, feeling that I had all the answers or at least that all the answers were within easy reach inside the safe boundaries of my particular religious tradition. Lo and behold, real life smacked me in the face for my ignorance and arrogance. I learned first and foremost that if you've never doubted something even once, you don't really believe it; you just assume it, and real life hasn't seriously challenged that assumption yet. Truth, reality, whatever this is, it's extremely complex and vast. That is why holy books rarely spell out the answers.

Well, I have had some strange experiences with the Spirit World. When stationed in Germany back in 1978-1979, I had experiences with some people who read Tarot cards and accurately predicted some future events in my life that I found unbelievable. They came to fruition almost against my will. I have had three 'Shared Death Experiences', first with my fathers death. He was expected to not die for a few more years at least but the morning he died He dreamt he came to me in my dream and told me that the spirit world was exactly as a described to him, based on Christian tradition as opposed to his New Age perspective. I had had lucid dreams since a kid (but not since my third heart attack back in Dec 2019, for some unknown reason) and this was also lucid, but it was very troubling to me, so much so that I woke up and sat on the side of the bed and wondered what had happened. An hour later my uncle called me with the bad news that my father had died an hour earlier, when I dreamt about my father being dead. About a month later, my local priest was in my dream, begging me to come and help him. Again, I was deeply disturbed by how real it seemed, and I woke up and sat thinking about it. In both cases, with my father and this priest (Father Wells of Germantown MD) my wife also woke up and urged me to go back to sleep as we both had to get up early to go to work in the morning. She had asked me to drop off something at the pet store nearby and so I drove there on my way to work and saw yellow tape all around the rectory. I found out on the radio that Father Wells had been murdered. The final experience in this regard was with my brother. I was having repeated dreams of me dying from a pain in my chest. It did not feel like the descriptions of a heart attack, but that was what I took it as, maybe some kind of heart related problem despite the pain being in the right side of my chest, and got a doctors appointment. This went on for about a week, and again I told my wife about it. I even posted on Facebook that I was having these dreams. After a week or so, I was called to tell me my brother died of a pulmonary embolism in his right lung. For over a week he had refused to go to a doctor despite his bluish skin and poor energy. I could go on, but the human conscious mind is easily demonstrated by our ability to shift our mental focus from one sensation to another, to a memory, or emotion, or pleasant idea, etc. This ability to focus is the best demonstration of our spirit, our Self that we truly are.

Learning is really about understanding a problem and being able to develop a solution. Being able to determine why something is, while not having all of the info.

THIS is what we need in this age of restricted dialogue

The primary issue with markets is not that it doesn't ultimately result in the best solutions, it's that those solutions take time and market swings create wild instability while transitioning. That instability is generally mass hardship and death. To address this weakness you must find a way to smooth those transitions for people without effecting the market solution or the government being overthrown.

I've have listened to your channel for several months. In that time, I have become increasingly more impressed with your critical thinking analysis, presentation and conclusions.

I don't always agree with you but, even when I don't, you give me food for thought. I was very surprised when you disclosed your age. I thought that you were in your 30's.

Interestingly in the early Christian church they held a council that determined that God's teachings could be separated into into moral and doctrinal prescriptions. Basically things that were moral commandments would always be held true but things like the ban on eating pork were temporary and were prescriptions made to help people during that current age. For instance pork can carry a ton of diseases if improperly handled.

Pork is also very similar to humans, so similar that you can switch a piece of skin with a pig and it will grow as if your own and in that way pig meat also functions the same as cannibalism in the human body where less effort and is needed to digest it and use it as energy or store it as fat which causes a lot of the bad things from the pig to get a hold on our body faster just like in cannibalism

If you're asking about why differentiation was important, you can look at every ancient Israel ritual law and separation from the surrounding communities makes sense as an underpinning. This is not even to say that the writers of the law knew that was the purpose, however considering the fact that God was the one who directly gave these laws down he most likely had multiple purposes in mind for each of them.

While you're talking about dreams and the spirit world I feel like I can talk about the strangest dream I've ever had. This happened like five or six years ago. I had a dream where the setting really didn't matter, at the time and looking back at it now it appeared as a pure white, I was dressed in this way too. In this dream I sat down and had a conversation with someone who looked very similar to me, but he had long hair and he was a bit more stocky in build like one of my uncles. We talked about my life, how it was going, how the family was doing, who he was, how life would have been different, and his immense love for my family. Through this experience I discovered that I had an older brother that was lost in some way. I sat down with both of my parents individually, they have been divorced for a long time so this wasn't hard to do and they didnt talk very much then. I asked them both about this and what happened and they both looked stunned. This is not something that has been discussed in my family very much, even when I approach my aunts and uncles with this story they looked suprised that I know. Aparently my paternal grandmother had similar experiences to this and wrote a book about it. I plan on editing that book one day and releasing it.

I think the reason for 18th century Myanmar being literate is for the same reason as for Protestant northern Europe just with Theravada Buddhism instead.

I'm big fan of your channel and agree with almost all of your points. But I would like to point to one error in this video. The issue is that you said that "Einstein's universe is completely chaotic irrational place", this is not correct. Using Einstein's equations we can get rational and ordered explanation of universe not chaotic and irrational one. Second issue is that you said in next sentence that Einstein's and Newtonian physics are "two entirely different rules for different parts of universe" this is also incorrect. Newtonian physics is special case of Einstein's physics, in other words if you use Einstein's equations for objects with velocity much smaller then speed of light you get Newton's equations. So it is not that Einstein's physics can not be applied on earth for low velocity objects it is that when you do the relativistic effects become negligible and you end up with Newton's equations. But I get your point of error to use scientific principles to build world view, just your example is not so good. Maybe better one would be to take quantum and relativistic physics. Both are correct when applied on correct scale but are not deriving one from another and are inconsistent one with each other.

I love the fact that someone has the courage and intellectual humility to bring up these topics. In part 4, I think that the author falls into the trap he himself describes, specifically - assuming that monetary policy shortfalls are lack of ability to manage the situation despite having people’s interest in mind. There is a strong case to be made, although it may sound conspiratorial to some degree, that such decisions are made anticipating a good part of outcomes and accepting them as part of serving the self-interested goals of the implementers

Markets: I'm a classical liberal, as opposed to a libertarian, and I see a big distinction of the two. Markets are a great tool, one of the best economic tools we have, but it only governs economics. You need to have a strong moral foundation in order to make markets work. I personally hate neo-liberalism with a passion? Why? Because they thought money was the key to democracy. And they are willing to sleep with whatever pig they have to in order to get bacon. One of the best quotes I have read, which was from a libertarian party platform in Norway of all things was: "We should have free trade with everyone who is like us, and treat those who hate us with a cold shoulder." We need to hold those we trade with to a certain standard. Would you hang out with a kid at school who always stole your homework, accused you of being racist whenever you tried to tell the teacher, and who still beats you up for your lunch money? NO! And yet we think that we as a world have to be friends with Russia and China, and we can't demand things of them. Why? Because of greed. That's why we need a liberal democratic society which has some form of values to which we control things, but still allow freedom. And most liberal democracies does have to a degree some of it. We have corruption laws, but for some reason these don't extend to ethical trade? Slave cotton pickers was evil in the 19th century USA, and it's evil in 21st century China. If we want free markets we also need to apply other enlightenment ideas to our societies, such as an universal belief in freedom, liberty and property, with a common law to arbitrate when people don't uphold these ideas. PS: Brittish imperialisms effects on India isn't exactly good examples of markets, rather it's an example of the opposite... it was for the most part force and exploitation, not mutually agreed upon cooperation. And "Free trade agreements" is a misnomer that neo-liberals love to use. Free-trade is trade WITHOUT agreements on how trade should happen. Most libertarians hate free trade agreements as a concept.

There's a pretty satisfying evolutionary explanation for sensitivity to the supernatural, aesthetics, etc.. The key underlying things to remember are that evolved traits are not necessarily independent, and that for a thing to proliferate it needn't be beneficial but only insufficiently detrimental to be eliminated. So what happens when a beneficial trait has a dependent trait that is detrimental (e.g., by energy inefficiency)? Within the bound defined by the detrimental trait being insufficiently detrimental to outweigh its benefit, the beneficial trait can proliferate. The obvious example is someone who is concerned about ghosts and spirits, and who sees faces in the woods when they aren't there. Irrational, inefficient, hallucinatory, whatever else - but perhaps more likely to spot the faces of rival groups or predators when they really are there - and given the stakes it's clearly better to be safe than sorry. It doesn't take much imagination to see the connection between aesthetic sensibilities and instincts that are useful for selection of preferable environments or mates. Obviously these are simplistic examples, and I agree that there's an interesting conversation to be had, but I think the right conversation is one about evolutionary psychology and not really about spirits.

How much more efficient is it that most of the former colonised world speak one of a few European languages? How much easier was trade when one country effectively owns 1/4 of the world like in the case of Britain? On the flip side, how much harder has diplomacy gotten? How much more expensive in taxes is it to have embassies in every individual nation rather than just one in the colonial country?

I have some thoughts 0 - Political Chart: The political chart you use is different than the one I learned when getting a degree in political science. It's unfortunate that so many people use it because it relies upon assumptions and agreements about what is left vs. right and what is authoritarian vs. libertarian. The bi-axial chart I was taught uses axes of social liberty and economic liberty with the + and - being more-government vs less-government. The advantage of the chart I was taught was that it accurately predicted the positions of the four main parties in the US (at least in the 90s): libertarians = less government for both social and economics; Democratic = less gov in social, more gov in economic; Republican = less gov in economics, more gov in social; Populist = more gov in both. It's not perfect, a radar/spiderweb plot might be better, but it helps sort persons and groups by hard and easily identifiable policy preferences rather than presumptions by tribal affiliation. 1 - Science: Your observations and conclusions are suspect. Science as an empirical discipline may be fairly recent, but the concept of political arguing over group choices by comparing the validity of observations and cause-effect for predicted behaviors of the natural world probably goes back tens of thousands of years to when humans first started using language. Your description doesn't appear to make any distinctions between science as a method, science as a profession, and scientific results used as a tool of argumentation. Politicians on any side of an argument can and do use what they claim to be valid scientifically supported results. The main problem I have with your analysis is that you refer to these problems as problems of science, when they are actually problems of people using science to support their own ideas to promote their own agendas, and those people have and will also use philosophy, religion, statistics, economics, etc to try to prove points to get what they want. Saying science is responsible for a problem is similar to saying weapons are to blame for deaths, instead of the hands that wield them. Moreover, you should note the distinctions between making political decision backed by science, decisions based on scientific consensus, and decisions made by scientists. The first idea is basically how politics has always worked, whether you call it science or common sense. The second is how science works, consensus based on uniformity of results, although some want general governance to work that way, which may or may not be useful depending on the issue. The third is the concept of technocracy, which contrary to what some think is not the rule of technology companies but is instead the rule of elites who are subject matter experts who make decisions based on the science they believe controls the field in which they are engaged, as opposed to using non-scientific methods such as morality (e.g. religion) or popularity (e.g. democracy). For example, technocracy posits that medical doctors should make decision on public health based on perhaps a utilitarian standard or reducing mortality and morbidity as much as possible, instead of politicians who are trained in how to balance public health needs with the other questions of running a country, such as economics and defense and personal liberty. (When you think about it, and I do, doctors and politicians have opposing roles: doctors decide how to keep people alive and politicians decide how to let them die.) Unfortunately, a lot of politicians don't know how to balance such things or how to communicate the balance in a way that the common voter can understand, hence the call by some for technocracy, as opposed to limiting or training politicians by using education or testing regimes to weed out incompetents from acquiring elected office or appointments to office. 2 - Economics: No real disagreement here. 3 - Genetics: No real disagreement here. However, you fail to acknowledge the role of nutrition and parasites and other diseases in causing the results you attribute to genetics (and also epigenetics). 4 - I don't disagree that there might be something more, especially with my own experiences with precognition and that time I died and rose on the third day immediately after demanding God to take me home or show me a sign. However, you fail to mention alternate explanations. Dreams do have a neuro-scientific hypothetical explanation: they are how your body encodes daily experiences into long-term storage. I was told this was why I didn't remember anything from the day I experienced cardiac arrest - because I hadn't slept and so my memories weren't saved from RAM to the hard drive, to use a computer analogy. Also, I don't think we spend as much time dreaming as we do in the waking world (as you stated), since sleeping accounts for maybe 1/3 of our life, and REM sleep is a fraction of that. Also, art need not be associated with dreaming as it can be more simply explained as a form of expression and may have originated around the same time as speech, If I remember correctly. Some of those signs you show can be extrapolated from universal experiences and observations, meaning different people from different places and times could arrive at them and give them similar meanings. A square for earth makes sense for two reasons: it fits the idea of orthography associated with the cardinal directions extrapolated from sunrise and sunset and the poles around which the stars turn, and this is also the simplest way for land to be divided into plots, which it would have been among agricultural societies (the square means field in Cuneiform, IIRC). I agree that drugs and shamanism are probably related, although I've had some drug-free experiences that make me wonder if it need me. 5 - We know what we're doing: You're not wrong. Just keep realizing that doesn't mean you're right. I have to remind myself of that on a daily basis. 6 - Do stakeholders have to run the government?: Depends on how you define "stakeholders", "run" and "government". Again, you're not wrong. You arrive at good questions, though I don't see much in the way of answers. But that's OK, since you're an alt-historian and not a political scientist or a politician, so far as I know. You make good observations here, and if you know politicians and they listen to you, then so much the better. The answer is, of course, maybe - since it depends on who and how (and where and when). 7 - Are religions what their prophets preached?: Yup, I agree with all you said. I'm struggling with trying to organize the new old religion I'm creating from my own experiences and revelations and how they might be twisted in the future after I'm gone by those who seek power or genuinely edit, misinterpret, or mistranslate my words. It's a work in progress - like most everything else in this universe, which may be a major difference in worldview, since many religions seem to promote certainty instead.

The Christian church was already corrupted in the first few centuries. The Bible that we see today is what the ruling class wanted people to know.

Libertarianism only works in theory or practice under a single legal system because you have to enforce the basic laws of a free market in order to have an actually free market. You can not have slavery, forced labour, theft, extortion, etc. in the market. This is hard enough to police in one nation but impossible globally. The reasoned solution is national libertarianism with some regulations to protect children, international cooperation with similar players and penalties for corporations who engage in anti free market and anti human liberty behavior.

If I am not mistaken, wouldn’t a Libertarian system be easier to enforce because there are less regulations to enforce? Libertarians don’t want a totally free market, they just want minimal state. So some regulation will be there regardless.

Having spent the last 9+ years working as a legislative aid in Wisconsin government, I found the section on stakeholders and leadership incompetence interesting. I'd love to chat for 10 minutes to give more details, but it always surprises me how sometimes only one or two virtuous/wrong/corrupt people can get their desired policy done because the Legislature functions with its own medium-sized group dynamics, with incentives and norms, reacting to human flaws on a group of people who disproportionately seek approval. I honestly don't know how much more or less successful I'd be getting what I believe to be good policy implemented if I was convincing the star chamber rather than elected people.

Cesar Millan observes that humans are the only species that will allow unstable members to lead the pack. Spooky.

12:16 As a sports fan, this map is interesting because all of the major pro sports teams (baseball and NFL) existed in the "big part". There were no major sports teams west of St. Louis or south of Washington DC, something that wouldn't change until after WW2 in the NFL and after 1958 in baseball.

27:44 "someone in charge who knows what they're doing." I see what you did there ;)

Thank you for addressing the teachings of Jesus, as a person who was raised Southern Baptist, and is still heavily involved in my church, blessedly our church without the political chest beating and we’re currently under a bit of a reorganization. Old pastor retired, new pastor moved in and we’re seeing a realignment with more teaching based on the commands of Christ and it’s been an extremely positive growth in spiritual understanding for many of those within the church. I hope to see more church’s move this way in the coming years as people tire of this wrong view of Christ’s teaching

I would not describe Einstein's universe as a "completely chaotic place". Relativity is an elegant system of laws that can produce very accurate predictions. And it isn't as if Newton just applies to earth and Einstein to the rest of the universe--both offer insights to both realms, both are useful for making predictions.

yeah it's a bit of a dishonest take. Einstein didn't disprove newton, quantum physics didn't disprove Einstein; they just dove deeper and discovered new observations. he's portraying scientific knowledge as dogmatic but it's the complete opposite, science corrects itself with every discovery
