Who ever watched the BBC Connections series and didn't become a fan? We have never stopped connecting? Now the BBC is a mere shadow of itself!

I watched connections all the way through...twice. James Burke is the only person I've ever seen say that romans calling other europeans barbarians was highly ironic. I think the reason it had the impact on me it did is because it was so contradictory to what i had otherwise been told. He explained it so clearly that you didnt doubt the truth of it. It changed my perspective on everything and bumped my brain over into a place where doing your own thinking was not only necessary...but by now i realise is actually contrary to what the narrative makers want from you. Things have changed unbelievable quickly since then. These days people are lauded for thier deceptions and people who tell the truth are marginalised. James Burke is a brand that isn't dying...its gone extinct. Even much of science has become a lie...

“BBC Local Radio in the South” is a conglomerate of generic neighbouring generic stations which cover County districts which by definition aren’t ‘Local’ in size nor their editorial remit to cover “how national & world events affect our listeners” - whilst their local affairs amount to repeating headlines of regional newsrooms usually consisting of 1 County Council decision & a crime - generally a stabbing committed by a working class or homeless young man plus endless updates on rush hour traffic & roadwork traffic controls which have failed 50 miles away from the listeners. Any space is filled with “ I’m still standing “ & “ when the going gets tough “ & an interview with a national tv celebrity. The ethos of national BBC Local Radio in Southern England at least with its ‘diversity’ of white 40 year old clone presenters called Matt or Katie is an expensive luxury that serves very few taxpayers.

His programs have ALWAYS been amazing. All three series of Connections are good, but I especially like the two-part "After the Warming" on climate change. Even now, about 30-35 years later, it's one of the best intros to global climate systems. It's set in 2050, looking back at what happened to Earth's systems.

At the one hour point of the lecture, Burke rattles me with the questions that haunt me from my own reductionist box (as it were). What will happen...as he is speaking circa 2000...when we all star in our virtual reality paradises? When we all read and listen to only that which we want to see and hear? What happens to our culture when we all mix and mingle "distant learning" style? I realize these are somewhat common questions we grapple with, but Burke has carried us along in this lecture to this very point and left us both excited for and afraid of the future...and in some ways his lecture's future is now.

You are inventing fictional problems. If humans like digital isolation, then such advances enabling digital isolation will be terrific, for those folks. If people do not like being more & more digital, then provided governments do not force us to be isolated individual islands we will not ever need or organize ourselves to be isolated and digital. There will always be isolationist libertarians, but many more collectivist socially minded folks, and there need be no competition for cultural supremacy between us, civilization has shown a capacity to tolerate diversity. If virtual reality really is a paradise, then getting VR will be heaven for those who want it. But if you ignore the social dimension you will not have it for long, some other poor sod has to still run the factories to make the computer chips and whathaveyou, to run your VR servers, at least until all _that_ can also be machine automated. When all the drudgery is automatized then it will still be a society. You cannot easily breed out the desire of most for human contact. All you do is free up people to do much more creative things. There is no downside to that. If you can breed out us all the desire for human contact, then fine, no need for human contact, but then you are so far ahead in the future you are in fantasy land.

What the reply below said, plus: you mean the BBC that has a mandate in place, most recently applied in a warning to Nish Kumar, to repress left speech by invoking "balance"? To which Kumar said something like, "Boris is smart and diseases are good. Happy?" Look, I'm a big fan of Burke within his limits. And it serves no one including him to place him at one end of a hyped up culture war, a war that is always so much less what the powerful have on their minds than the class war. Burke became a sort of postmodernist, a gentler, more humanist version than those i ran into in sociology. He is neither narrow nor a points scorer. I suggest following his example.

I watched connections all the way through...twice. James Burke is the only person I've ever seen say that romans calling other europeans barbarians was highly ironic. I think the reason it had the impact on me it did is because it was so contradictory to what i had otherwise been told. He explained it so clearly that you didnt doubt the truth of it. It changed my perspective on everything and bumped my brain over into a place where doing your own thinking was not only necessary...but by now i realise is actually contrary to what the narrative makers want from you. Things have changed unbelievable quickly since then. These days people are lauded for thier deceptions and people who tell the truth are marginalised. James Burke is a brand that isn't dying...its gone extinct. Even much of science has become a lie...

“BBC Local Radio in the South” is a conglomerate of generic neighbouring generic stations which cover County districts which by definition aren’t ‘Local’ in size nor their editorial remit to cover “how national & world events affect our listeners” - whilst their local affairs amount to repeating headlines of regional newsrooms usually consisting of 1 County Council decision & a crime - generally a stabbing committed by a working class or homeless young man plus endless updates on rush hour traffic & roadwork traffic controls which have failed 50 miles away from the listeners. Any space is filled with “ I’m still standing “ & “ when the going gets tough “ & an interview with a national tv celebrity. The ethos of national BBC Local Radio in Southern England at least with its ‘diversity’ of white 40 year old clone presenters called Matt or Katie is an expensive luxury that serves very few taxpayers.
"Persuasion is a lot harder when the audience is well informed."

His programs have ALWAYS been amazing. All three series of Connections are good, but I especially like the two-part "After the Warming" on climate change. Even now, about 30-35 years later, it's one of the best intros to global climate systems. It's set in 2050, looking back at what happened to Earth's systems. Part one reviews how climate affected what humans did up until the industrial revolution, then part two reviews how what humans since the industrial revolution did to the climate.

Some 22 years later, Burke's comments give context to and explain so much of what's going on today.
The incredible amount of information in this 90 minute lecture/question session---it's like the full 12 course first class meal on the Titanic. Compared to 95% of the other "informational" videos on KZread. Which are more like a McDonalds hamburger.
1:02:23 -- THIS on the other hand, absolutely happened. Online echo chambers, computers who know exactly what to sell you. "Will it be a world of home videos and illiterate scribblings?" Yes Mr. Burke, I'm afraid it is, but happily your lecture will also be here amongst the cat videos -- Chautauqua will coexist with Vaudeville, as it ever has.

This talk was in Portland sometime in early 2000. He must like Portland I saw him there in the 1980's. One of my sons met him in an elevator a few years ago and he was delighted that he was remembered for his "Confections" and talks. If our schools taught History and Geography and social science using his videos and talks I know the subjects would be favorites instead of hated.

James Burke has a brilliant mind. Most of this is still relevant today (as are his various series' of "Connections"). He is an absolute legend and injects quite a bit of humour into the proceedings. He is up there with the late great Carl Sagan.
When I saw for first time Connections with the Trigger Effect it was a glorious night that introduced me to be more aware of the effects of Engineering and Society. The Trigger Effect still makes me resonate with curiosity about the ever changing world. James Burke is a social scientific genius. He opened the path for others after to create intelligent and entertaining scientific and engineering TV shows. Cosmos 1980 with Carl Sagan, Cosmos 2020 with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Congratulations 🎉

The wise man listens, while the fool chatters.
At the one hour point of the lecture, Burke rattles me with the questions that haunt me from my own reductionist box (as it were). What will happen...as he is speaking circa 2000...when we all star in our virtual reality paradises? When we all read and listen to only that which we want to see and hear? What happens to our culture when we all mix and mingle "distant learning" style? I realize these are somewhat common questions we grapple with, but Burke has carried us along in this lecture to this very point and left us both excited for and afraid of the future...and in some ways his lecture's future is now.

You are inventing fictional problems. If humans like digital isolation, then such advances enabling digital isolation will be terrific, for those folks. If people do not like being more & more digital, then provided governments do not force us to be isolated individual islands we will not ever need or organize ourselves to be isolated and digital. There will always be isolationist libertarians, but many more collectivist socially minded folks, and there need be no competition for cultural supremacy between us, civilization has shown a capacity to tolerate diversity. If virtual reality really is a paradise, then getting VR will be heaven for those who want it. But if you ignore the social dimension you will not have it for long, some other poor sod has to still run the factories to make the computer chips and whathaveyou, to run your VR servers, at least until all _that_ can also be machine automated. When all the drudgery is automatized then it will still be a society. You cannot easily breed out the desire of most for human contact. All you do is free up people to do much more creative things. There is no downside to that. If you can breed out us all the desire for human contact, then fine, no need for human contact, but then you are so far ahead in the future you are in fantasy land.

Just as his original "Connections" series asked the question "what will happen when being in debt, all the time, is the normal way to live?" In the 70's, when that aired, the concept of students graduating with $100k or more in debt, or of insured people going bankrupt from medical debt in a country that considers itself the global leader in everything, was beyond comprehension. Yet, here we are.
From 1993? James now 84..great presenter.Connections was inspirational.
James Burke I remember his programmes from the 70s. A time when folks expressed themselves fully, without self imposed stupidity, and insincere rules. James is a living example of excellence of those times. One thing he has wrong is folks ARE dumbed down

Thrilling, as usual, thank you, Dr Burke. My concern: a possible lack of a desire for excellence. Some words of de Tocqueville about democracy ring frequently in my mind, and can be more broadly applied; to paraphrase, 'it will work only if the participant is well informed.'

To which Kumar said something like, "Boris is smart and diseases are good. Happy?" Look, I'm a big fan of Burke within his limits. And it serves no one including him to place him at one end of a hyped up culture war, a war that is always so much less what the powerful have on their minds than the class war. Burke became a sort of postmodernist, a gentler, more humanist version than those i ran into in sociology. He is neither narrow nor a points scorer. I suggest following his example.

LOVE James Burke, he one of my heros. one thing, the "high rates of innovation today" are nothing more than subtle changes example: Sonet and Eithernet, combustion engine vs electric, how many pixels you can fit is just and expansion of an existing science. our rate of expansion has be more like refinement - not expansion. example analog data transfer, now is fiber optic, it works on the same principal, one was sound frequencies (analog) the other is light frequencies (fiber optic) - the principal is the same.
I remember watching this episode long ago and wondered how old it was since Burke showcased rotary dial telephones as modern technology.
Been watching this guys documentaries since the 80's. He makes things so clear and easy to understand that even the phylum Cnidaria among us could understand him.
Logic connection is everywhere . And he can prove it.
I wanted to hear the end of his last answer... and everything else he says too. I saw him once in a London street. I was in awe, I could say nothing. Now I'm a teacher and podcaster - and Green politician ( in waiting ) - still in awe. All he says in this video is true today.

IMO: Interesting to hear a view from 2002. Who would have thought at the time that the internet would be commercially, and cynically, driven to corrode the very idea of agreed knowledge or truth? Eg. You Tube changing from a star-based rating system to a like-unlike rating system because conflict generates clicks; generates income...for a few...at a terrible cost.
