"I think we're all so busy now. It's like the Instagram is the fast way to get stuff. Are you on the gram Sue? I don't post a lot. SB midwife. But there's a midwife in the east bay who's restore underscore midwifery who puts out some amazing images and education stuff. So I think that's great. There's a doing it at home podcast. Oh, cool. Out of Atlanta. There are two, I think they're both coaches and they had their own baby at home and they do a ton of interviews with people. Yeah. So. Yeah, I'm eagerly awaiting your cast. Excellent. I'm a big book reader. I've been influenced by many books just in the podcast. You must have listed like 5 books. So I'm going to have to go through those and put them in the show notes. Any big books, I always say one to three that influence you that you would recommend other people read. Wow. Gosh. You know, one of the biggest books that influenced me is this really serious biography of this woman named Hannah arendt. And she was around the Holocaust time and she was one of the people who said, just because it was somebody's job doesn't mean that they had to do it. So we thought we were going to name our daughter Hannah for a really long time. And then when we had a baby, it was like, oh, that sounds terrible. I don't like the sound of that. So yeah, there's so books are just so rich and so valuable. I'm reading one now about the engineers behind the NASA program. The Apollo missions and the astronauts get all the credit and the engineers were amazing superheroes. Of course. You need both. You need both, yeah. Great perspective. Yeah. There's always a team behind, right? Like they say, even with husbands, there's always a good wife behind a husband or anything. Or the other way around. Or the other way around, yeah. I'm a big person in rituals or sometimes people call them hacks, right? And I like hacks because they might get you to a certain they might nudge you in the right direction somewhere. But at the end of the day, I'm all about mastery. But are there any rituals or daily practices that you do like gratitude journaling or something for you that's just a huge game changer and you wish everyone would do this? I am also big into rituals and my life is very routinized. Partly because my job is so crazy. You know, I can get called away at any time. So I really take solace in my rituals. My relationship with my sweetie, when we broke our rituals, that's when we had the hardest time. So it's like as simple as we used to walk to a cafe every Saturday, the cafe closed. And our relationship fell apart. Until he realized that's what happened. Yeah. So, you know, I'm a, I take my yoga practice very seriously, and I really think that that is Salvation for me in a lot of ways. And at the end of every practice, there's definitely a moment of gratitude. And I think flossing your teeth is really important. It is. It is very important.

"And I guess what he is getting at varies. He is trying to give an account of language whereby we understand it more than a means of communication or transaction, which can be a very dominant way of understanding language. He wants to say that language is a fundamental site of dwelling and for him that is therefore connected with being. And he arrives there, I guess, through this metaphor and his motif of home, but I think in his conception of language, what he's trying to say is that he has a kind of world revealing quality. It's not just a tool, a means of communication, but language in itself gives us a world. It's the main story which we can have a well things come into being through language. So he's sort of one important figure to encounter. I guess when we're thinking about language through this framework of home, another one that sort of stuck out to me was Hannah arendt whose work was at times in conversation with heidegger that she gives an interesting interview in the mid 60s of some 20 years after she's arrived in America where she is in exile. And in there, she talks about language and in particular the mother town. He's hiding his account is about language. In general, language as such and not in a sort of particularity. But arendt in her interview with Gunther gavs gives a really interesting account of language where she describes the mother tongue as something that's irreplaceable. There's no substitute for it and it's always there. It remains is her phrase. And this is despite the horrors that were committed, the atrocities that were committed through language and were facilitated by language in the Holocaust. In fact, she responds, it wasn't the German language that went crazy. That relationship for her remains very much intact, even though this is 20 years after she's arrived in the states and she's learned from different languages she's working

"One one. We will get to commitment to America, which is the position statement for the Republicans in the House who are all running. As well as Republican candidates to actually quite comprehensive and quite good, which is why the Democrats attack it. They're running on abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion, particularly in the last second Of before birth. As I crack open American Marxism, I think all the program directors who listen to this program want to think about reading it too seriously. I think it would influence them as well in terms of their hosts in terms of the programming. It's very important. The light political theorist, Hannah arendt. Wrote in her book the origins of totalitarianism. And I quote that while it is true that the masses are obsessed by desire to escape from reality. Because in their essential homelessness, they can no longer bear its accidental incomprehensible aspects. It is also true that their longing for fiction has some connection with those capacities of the human mind, whose structural consistency is superior to mere recurrence. So she's talking about particularly bad economic times. The mass is escaped from reality is a verdict against the world in which they are forced to live, in which they can not exist. Since coincidence has become its supreme master in human beings need the constant transformation, a chaotic and accidental conditions. Into a man-made pattern of relative consistency. The revolt of the masses against realism, common sense, and all the plausibilities of the world was the result of their atomization. Of their loss of social status. Along which with a they lost the whole sector of communal relationships and those framework, common sense. No longer makes sense. And their situation of spiritual and social homelessness. Spiritual and social homelessness. A measured insight into the interdependence of the arbitrary in the plan. The accidental, in the necessary could no longer operate. Totalitarian propaganda can outrageously insult common sense only where common sense has lost its validity. Before the alternative of facing the Antarctic growth in total arbitrariness of decay. Are bowing down before the most rigid, fantastically fictitious consistency of an ideology. The masses will always choose probably the latter, and be ready to pay for it with individual sacrifices. And this not because they are stupid or wicked, but because in the general disaster this escape grants them a minimum of self respect in other words, people in a culture or a society in decline as I put it. Which ceases to be a unifying and civil society. And where the just social order unravels are highly susceptible to believing in following dangerous fictions. Even if they lead to their own demise, now she went on to say before they seize power. And establish a world according to their doctrines. Totalitarian movements conjure up a lying world of consistency. Which is more adequate to the needs of the human mind than reality itself. Think about what you watch on TV. Think about this big lie constantly. Maggie Republicans, semi fascists, the conjure up a lying world of consistency. In which through sheer imagination, uprooted masses can feel at home and are spared the never ending shocks. Which real life and real experiences deal to human beings and their expectations. The force possessed by totalitarian propaganda. Before the movements have the power to drop iron curtains to prevent anyone's disturbing. By the slightest reality, the gruesome quiet of an entirely imaginary world. Lies in its ability to shut the masses off from the real world. The only signs which the real world still offers to the understanding of the unintegrated and disintegrating masses. Whom every new stroke of ill luck makes more gullible. Art, so to speak, it's Luke and I. That is, the questions it does not care to discuss publicly. Or the rumors it does not dare to contradict. In other words, circumstances reach a point. Where people want to believe. Where people want to believe, so the Democrat party tries to cut the people off from the avenues of a civil society. They try to centralize power. They limit choices. They limit the language they limit. The competition of ideas. They demand uniformity. Indoctrination, ideology. Where do you go? They own the courts they own the prosecutors the only FBI. Where do you go?

"The Hannah arendt, I don't know how many of you know of her. She was a major thought figure in the 20th century. She wrote a very famous book called eichmann in Jerusalem. She was a big thinker. She was on the left of center. And she wrote correctly, the world is much more influenced by the French Revolution than the American Revolution. I just cited her quote in the book I'm working on in my rational Bible series. By the way, the next book is coming out in three weeks. Deuteronomy, the most cited book by the founders of America, the most cited single book, including French, enlightenment figures, books. Including biblical books and my commentary on deuteronomy is coming out. You could pre order it now at Amazon. Or from the prager store. As you wish, I ask you to do so because it's life-changing. Book of deuteronomy, the 5th of the 5 books, the third in my series. Is has more laws than any other book of the Bible 240, I believe it is. And it's very profound. That's why they cited it more than any other single book. I just learned of that. I didn't even include that in the deuteronomy commentary because I didn't know it at the time. I found that I found it out later. Egalitarianism is the subject egalitarianism must lead to cruelty and violence. Very simple. I'll prove it to you. How can you make sure that X, Y, and Z have the same income or the same material goods? Same savings than their equal. How do you ensure that? It only one way by taking away money and property from the one who's richer. The left doesn't make the poor richer, they make the rich poorer. And that, by the way, they're perfectly okay with that. There's no moral acceptance of the idea that one has more than the other, let alone way more than the other. That is why every single pronouncement on the issue is the terrible inequality in America, inequality, inequality, inequality. By the way, I'm not a big fan of this gigantic inequality either. The thought that what Gates is first name? Bill Gates has so much money. It's sickening. He's an idiot. He's a true idiot. He's turned out to be an idiot. Maybe that much money makes you an idiot. Not not necessarily. I've met quite a number of billionaires in my fundraising for PragerU and they've been very very wonderful people. They're a wonderful billionaires and despicable billionaires and they're a wonderful poor people and despicable poor people. I've seen no correlation between wealth and either wisdom or foolishness. But. The inequality issue is one whose eradication is done through violence. By the way, I would like to remind you that the Jewish high holy days are coming up, and most of you are not Jewish. But if you are at all interested in God, the Bible religion, the meaning of life, and want to be moved, many, many thousands have found my Russian and young kipper Jewish high holy day services very meaningful. Everything is explained by me, this beautiful music, the whole thing is very moving. And you can stream it anytime you want, you can stream it. All of the Russia Shana and the om kipper services a lot of hours. You can tap into it, stop it, go back, I promise you will find this meaningful..

"Oh, and of course it's a very important, they love to personally attack. Prager is so ugly, no wonder he sticks to radio. The comment. Wouldn't you know I would pay money to have that person come into the studio and I would interview them. I wouldn't even debate them. You think I'm ugly fine. Why did you write that? Do you have children? Do you know when I get when I get mail? That curses me out, which is not often, but it happens. I mean, just an effing piece of S and the whole gamut of curse words. So if they actually have their real name and email address, I am occasion have responded, my response is generally along these lines. I'm just curious because I don't write back anything that is in any way analogous to what they wrote to me. Do you have children? I'm just curious if you have children. And I'll tell you why. Because I would be embarrassed if my child ever saw me write an email like the one you sent me. Sincerely yours, Dennis prager, never get a response to that. I'll bet my picture of the media I comment or the average media I comment or is of a single person who was a loser. Because it takes a loser to write that. By the way, it was done on occasion, not merely as much, but it was done by people on the right where they would mock a member of the Clinton family's looks, for example. And I felt the same thing. That's unimpressive. But this is the level of this website, which 99% of you never heard of, so I debate whether even the publicize it, but if you get 1500 comments, clearly people on the left, some people on the left know your existence. Yes. By the way, my wife supplied me the name in which healthy girls have their breast taken off by children's hospitals. If they say they're a boy, when the clitoris is removed in a clitoridectomy, it's done in the name of Islam, but what is what does this mutilation of girls done in the name of? And it is mutilation. You can't the removal of breasts. Where the hell I'm a healthy person is mutilation. You may say it's wholly mutilation, and they do. They don't use the word holy because it has religious. Judeo Christian connotations, so they don't want to use it, but they do it in the name of you're ready for the name, my wife came up with. We were looking for an compassion. There is no, this is another reason for worrying about the human condition. There is no sweet sounding value in which evil. Can not be committed. The equality produced the French Revolution, the guillotine, the murder of vast numbers of priests. And people don't know about the French Revolution. I don't know without anything. You don't learn anything in school. You learn to preferred pronouns. I would be very curious if the average high school senior can tell me a single fact about the French Revolution. Let alone that what is the biggest difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution? You know, I found a quote from Hannah arendt, one of the leading thinkers of the 20th century, do you agree with her or not? She wrote a famous book about the banality of evil. She wrote about 8 O 5 when the architect of the Holocaust. And she wrote that the French Revolution had a much more lasting impact on the world than the American Revolution. Is that interesting? She's right. The love of liberty did not spread around the world, but the love of equality. Did spread around the world. More people have been murdered in the name of equality. Certainly more than anything else. In the 20th century, the only comparison. And in terms of numbers, it's much smaller. Is in the name of our in supremacy. But how many kids have ever been taught that? Do you know that more suffering was created in the name of equality than in the name of anything else in the last 500 years? That is worthy of a PragerU video. In the name of what have most people been murdered. Back in a moment..
On The Media

"Example. Right. They took pictures on the day and sold souvenirs. Exactly. They were actually postcards that white people in the south would apparently send to relatives, Friends whomever. So that's actually a very good example, sort of like the Holocaust photographs that what might fill one person with absolute horror is not interpreted by other people in the same way. Yes, the Emmett Till photograph did have, I think, a real impact on the public at that time. It did not create the civil rights movement as some people have claimed. There was already a civil rights movement. Not everybody is like Emmett Till's mother. You've even said that the parents of the children who died in the Yuval di killing would be traumatized if those photos were shared. Do journalists, do you think, have a responsibility to be sensitive to that kind of impact? Yeah, so this is, I think, a very thorny question, and it's one that I really grapple with. There is no doubt that the parents would be traumatized. I think that what this race is the question, not only who do the photographs belong to, but who does that event belong to? The event obviously first off happened to the children who were killed and those who survived, but will no doubt be traumatized for the rest of their lives. It happened to their families, it happened to the town that they live in. But it also happened to the country. That assault was an assault on the country. It didn't just happen to the immediate victims and their families. This is sort of connected to the point that Hannah arendt makes about genocide that the genocide of the Jews, of course, happened to the Jewish people, but genocide threatens all of humanity. And I think that that's generally an accepted view now. That's why we have crimes against humanity. So yeah, I do think it would traumatize the parents at the same time it has traumatized and a less immediate way, many other people in this society. The question is, can we have a collective response to the event? One danger of sharing these images is that they might inspire copycat killers or that they're just torture porn. Yeah, so that's the world that we live in now. It's not the world of Emmett Till. It's not the world of the Vietnam War. There is no doubt in my mind that were the images released, that they would end up born what we can only call torture corn websites that traffic in the most repellent and sadistic forms of torture and carnage. However, having said that, because that is the world that we live in, I don't think that we can let that dictate to us what we can and can't see. That would essentially allow those terrible, terrible sights to have a sort of veto power over images. I think that that's not a valid position for us to be in. At one point, you are asked to speak at a conference in Sweden, it was about Susan Sontag, and you had a couple of really interesting encounters during that event. Would you share those stories? Yes, I did show some photographs there, which aside from Nazi concentration photographs or the worst images I've ever seen in my life. These are what's called the Caesar images. So Caesar is the code name of a police photographer from Syria. The Assad regime in Syria has a kind of gulag of torture centers where thousands of people are tortured to death. Police photographers who before the war were taking sort of mundane pictures of car accidents, et cetera, were delegated to take pictures in these torture centers. People with eyes gouged out, people starve to death. People mutilated in the most revolting ways. They are very, very hard to look at. Caesar started smuggling them out on disks. At this conference, I did show some of these, although I showed them very quickly because they are very hard to look at. And in the intermission, a young gal came up to me who I think was only about 20 years old. And I am not sure if she was born in Sweden or not, but in any case, her parents were political refugees from Eritrea. And she said to me that she didn't think that I should show those photographs. That it was insulting to the victims to show them in such a debased way. And she asked if someone in the audience was a relative of someone in one of those photographs, would I still have shown that. And I said that would be very difficult, but yes, I would. After the intermission, I brought up this question because I think it's an important question. And a man rose from the audience. And he identified himself as a Syrian refugee. And he said that Syrians themselves were circulating these photographs among themselves. Partially to see if their loved ones were in these photographs, but also to show what was happening. And he said that he felt it was very, very important for the world to see what was happening. He essentially said, don't talk about protecting us. By not looking at the photographs. You're just protecting yourself. So this was very interesting to me to totally totally different views of what the morality of showing these photographs was. I wonder if you're saying that graphic images can bring people closer to the impact of these events, why did they fail utterly to alter what the U.S. thought about the Syrian conflict? It was front page news in The New York Times. They were reported all over the photographs were shown at the UN Caesar testified before the U.S. Congress, although Obama refused to meet with him. They were shown to John Kerry, who was then Secretary of State and other world leaders. And.

Each episode focuses on the ideas of a philosopher or a school of thought from the past, and explains why they still matter today. I talk with some really smart professors, but this is not a college course. We're talking about things that are relevant, and vital, and we're interested in ideas that crystallize the world around us.

"Or have a position in philosophy. And so in early 1950, heidegger received a visit at his home from Hannah arendt, who, as the Nazi persecution of German Jews, had increased, she had fled from Germany to France and then from France eventually to the USA, where she spent the rest of the war. They resumed their relationship heidegger and their friendship, if not their affair. And through Hannah arendt, heidegger began to restore his reputation and rebuild his standing in the philosophical community. I think that's so interesting that that happened. Tell me about that process. How did it play out? Yeah, I think it's fascinating to just the way the tables turned. Remember when a rent heidegger, he was, he was the king of Freiburg and philosophy and she was a young student, but in 9 50 she had just she had been established herself in New York as a refugee and was one of America's leading political philosophers, and she just finished the book on the origins of totalitarianism. And she was doing a European tour talking about ad book. And she decided only on impulse really to look up heidegger when she was in Freiburg. And when she did heidegger felt compelled to tell his wife that he'd had an affair with her earlier. So we can only imagine that conversation behind closed doors. But he also said, I think this person might be able to help us with our problem that I can get a job. But to cut a long story short, Hannah arendt did support and rehabilitate heidegger's reputation and advocated for his ideas back in America and in Europe. And it helped high negative have in a way a second wind in his philosophical career where he wrote towards the end of our technology and other issues. There's still, of course, the cloud hanging over his life choices, but his philosophical status did have a he had a second chance of it. Ironically, due to a Jewish woman who decided to renew her friendship with him. And this in spite of the fact that he'd been a member of the Nazi Party. Yeah, and here we have the interesting thing between the personal and the public, if you like. But there's no doubt from their letters that they caught up when they could. Heineken's wife wasn't keen on it, so it wasn't that often, but their letters were very tender to each other, especially hers to him. Right till the end of his life, and they would send each other postcards and artworks. So there was definitely a tender friendship war on ward associate Professor of psychiatry at the university of Queensland, and the author of lovers of philosophy, how the intimate lives of 7 philosophers shaped modern thought. And quite clearly, there's a lot more to talk about here. More than we have time for in the course of a half hour program, so I can only suggest that you get your hands on the book. It's a wonderful read. And we'll put publication details on the website. That's the philosopher's zone and you can find us via the radio national website or the ABC listen app. And that's it for another week..
Wardrobe Crisis
"hannah arendt" Discussed on Wardrobe Crisis
"So I'm just going to ask you a silly one that I'm always wondering about. Who would collect the bins? Because who's going to do that? Who's going to do the job that they don't want to volunteer for? Because there's no financial incentive. You know, I kind of when I think about that, I have two kind of answers, really. And one is that you pay people properly to do a really crap job. You know, you pay people because that is that is or value not to have a dirty society. And so to not pay people to do that is cheapskate basically it's not sort of behavior you'd accept with your Friends. There would be an economy of earning on top of it. Oh, yeah, of course you would. I think we still have an economy of earning on top of it. But the other thing that I would say, and it's probably not a very popular thing to say, it's a bit perverse, really. But it's something that's to some extent I live by. I think we should all at some point in our lives do crap tops. Oh yeah. Absolutely think that there's something that you learn about yourself from what people think of as crappy jobs. And even it was something interesting that I did when I was writing the book because it's very, very grounding to find really crappy jobs that maybe this is the sense in which the book is all bullshit. You know, it's about it's about sometimes you need to get down dirty and you need your hands dirty and your limbs aching because that is actually what it means to be human and to kind of think that you can be human by sitting in front of the computer, writing a wonderful book. There are lots of people are going to read with splendid ideas about tomorrow. That is not the entirety of what life is about. And finding myself dirty jobs which were just about keeping the garden clean or the house in order or the rubbish in the right place or the recycling in the right place. That is actually I think something that we don't aspire to, but we should understand as being part of our visceral nature as human beings. And as Hannah arendt says, you know, one of the good things about those kinds of tasks is that it's bliss when they stop. All right, we run out of time, but I want to end where we sort of began just on hope. There's more than ten years ago now that you did that TED Talk where you talked about growth and economic alternatives and hope, how helpful are you today that we can turn this around? I mean, it's different on different days. I mean, I think one of the interesting things that happened for me when I was I used to ask the prosperity of that great, I used to say, well, you know, I'm pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, which is in quote from gram sheet. You choose hope, if you like. But actually, in the final chapter of Postgres, where.

"I just want to get back to this point about the worst ever. I mean, Johnson's lies, you know, he lost about a potty, and that means he'll pay a heavy price. Yet you and I have known each other, Peter for nearly 20 years. We both came together because we conservatives who opposed the war in Iraq, right from the outset, and we've talked about this many times on this program and elsewhere Peter, but Tony Blair's lies. It frankly led to an illegal war with hundreds of thousands of deaths. And Britain gives him its highest honor. What does that tell us about modern Britain? Yeah, you absolutely right. And let's pause with blah blah. And there are interesting comparisons between Blair and Johnson. Both of them actually did attack the rule of law in this country. Both of them sort of didn't like the insistence of dupe on due process and fair conduct by civil servants. And it has to be said, the great lie that weapons of mass destruction by the lies about the Iraq War, which remain, by the way, record. We're terrible life and they let us infinitely more serious consequences than anything Johnson did. Johnson Johnson is a different source of liar. The great Christian of theologian St. Augustine made a distinction in lies between those who like for a purpose. And I think that did that. And those who just like share reckless, fun of it. And in many ways, it's Johnson. And there are so many of them. Look at this website, you can't dimension. I mean, it's quite shocking how many times misled parliament. And he goes on doing it. And if you value truth and very great, Hannah arendt in her great political philosophy warmed George Orwell did too, you know that once you sort of turn truth into a commodity. And you take possession of the truth yourself as a instrument of power. You're doing terrible damage to the idea of democracy because people are voting for reasons, which are through your stealing that.

"Right. But they've convinced themselves that he is a racist and it doesn't matter these facts just don't matter. They hate his guts, and they don't want to unpaid him. Did you want to weigh in? Okay, well that's interesting on that point. Because I wanted to get to this and Charlie was Charlie was starting it and I wanted to flesh it out a little bit with both of you and talking about hate facts, hating science. Years ago in the 50s, the philosopher Hannah arendt said, we'll be to the society that uses children for political games of adults. And Charlie, you were starting on this and Larry, I'd love to hear your take on it as well. What is your sense of Dennis was talking about children adult children, not speaking to their parents and how they should what do you say about a society that is torturing the mental and social health of its children right now? Yeah. I mean, it doesn't say a lot. I've said that masking children as child abuse. I said it since the very beginning. And it takes it takes everything in me in an airport when I see kids with masks on not to say something. Now, the airport's different, there's a mandate there. But when it's at a grocery store and I see parents that do that, it's a child abuse. And people should be penalized for that. You put a mask on a child? She got a jail for that. And I've said that all along. And by the way, I could tell by the applause, not even everyone here agrees. And that's insane. If you put a kid in a car, you put them at far greater risk than dying from COVID. And by the way, that's also acting as if the mask is going to do something. So you're like two false premises. You ever put a kid in a swimming pool? Far greater risk of dying in a swimming pool. Swimming pools and by the Arizona is a lot of swimming pools are killing fields for kids versus COVID. It's a statistically not even close. Not to mention cancer, suicide, more kids have died from suicide than from COVID. And this is what's so amazing to me. I've got to be careful in this audience saying this. I mean it. Yeah, I mean, what is it with? And this audience probably feels the same way.

You made me reread that proposal. Bill yes hop actually maybe read the mozell. I will get you really. See it mentioned. Oh yes okay but the level of detail in this bill as you say is quite remarkable so i always known about the. We have the lower schools than we have grammar schools for every four counties. Yes iowa this a theory but he actually specifies which counties gives instructions of how the the lower schools how the school districts are to be divided. he he specifies how they show live in the second the grammar schools and then of course the final step is the college. And what we've got here is what i am realized for hannah. Arendt thought was jefferson's most brilliant political idea really Linked to his idea of schools is idea linked to what he calls hundreds or districts called wards That's right i'm today. We would probably think it's just counties yet deliberately uses who would later of water public. It's based on the sex idea of grass roots as heedful democracy. His idea the anglo saxon swab that this south government's recognition that In order to really involve people in government you had to concede level so today's always quoted as state riots but even in these little allow world republicans were to have rights as well. They're responsible for cool and emotion company yet very symmetrical For peace a piece of war. It's quite remarkable vision. You can see. I started to see it already at that point. Where where. You're kind of driving the argument. This is interlocks with his ideas of freedom of religion. Because this is really having someone who knows something about anglicanism and agents in virginia this is his replacement for the parish which are always which are the sub governments in each virginia count by which are irregular which are ungovernable by. Church is just too big. So here's something. Rational sensible geographically bounded. But which will education which will occupy the most essential features of jefferson jeffersonian republican edson links with freedom of religion. It links with his basic ideas improvement senator links. This is all part of his larger republican program for virginia. There's a article from in the eighties sharper than serpent's about jefferson leaning grabbed jefferson's ingratitude wave berry written by william and mary. Professor wants to read it but then seventeen. Seventy nine is beginning of this period of his expressed disenchantment with william and mary. Which is that. it's the disenchantment is important understanding his enchanted with what becomes uva. What does they try to change. Women mary and and why does eventually give up. So we mentioned he puts forward a bill for public school systems. Seventeen seventy built general. Knowledge saying yeah. He also puts builds reform Mary it's parking trust because private college time. The sense in any of these quasi not could not would interfere in massachusetts. Say with offer and a he. His reforms would basically secularize Merry which should stop his colored riddick trae lincoln priests and he was going to remove the energy removed. A language is hebrew for necessary and the plastics in order to introduce more rab science It seemed to me that he was thinking of women. Mary future university of virginia and But this bill cost and he was able to make a few changes are getting all bowl visitors that they will not did not far as he was concerned. Might census sect low others appointed to indiscipline monthly student. Sue quality faculty that his real concern was that it was a private university that zone the amenable to so much government intervention and that it was also still in way religious establishment Low is closely allied Judges have big speak anglican church but he could never remove that new very rightly said he so religious freedom. Implicit was necessary lectu. He's almost obsessed this idea. We'll get to that. Yes this is one of the most interesting longest running obsession the he. It's interesting too many other. Things he has to say and i can i come across the khloe refers to williamsburg is devils berg. Yes and intimate that you know at the hadn't been a strength of character. He's a student. He got up into all sorts of trouble. Yes of course. By that time by seventeen eighty s williamsburg is now suddenly transformed to a backward.

Typhoid epidemic Healthiness centrality so that people from all over the states location is terribly to him but was also Overweening pride that. It should be something as good as anything in europe and america and that virginia should be the host. The top university in even disapproved adopted Which was married off. But he hated the idea of wall big. Yeah we'll get to that. There's another one is interesting So some one question for you. Do you think Obscene it suggested. And i always kind of went with us Maybe maybe i was too. It was to anti jeffersonian. Maybe i'm changing. Do you think he soft pedal wash- washington had a passion not equally great but great for national. Yes do you think that jefferson softpeddled or diverted washington away from that course because with like for example the plan of the universe. The university of geneva was on the lam it was it was wanting to leave revolutionary europe and there was a suggestion that should move over to the states and washington thought. Fantastic nothing better for my city named after myself. I've been having this new university with the best professors in europe jefferson among others sort of diverse. That from happening is this an order because he sees a national university as a threat to the university.

"Be reflective and they were unwilling your point about maybe it was just a contract. There is the banality of evil that hannah arendt of course warns us of the ways that we can all participate in it Even if we are not enacting we're enabling it. And i wonder if in addition to those who are the survivors. Those you've named here those of us who consumed music Those who are in social media saying well but he's a genius. What do we do with a musical genius. Who is a serial sex abuser and a pedophile. You know. I don't have the answer to this question but i can tell you. It doesn't begin with or end with r kelly right I know that the women who began. Mute r kelly hope to not just d platform form him but the boycott and -sation and most importantly the divestment was about stopping income from coming from flowing towards r. Kelly mostly live concert. is where artists earning their income and have been for the past decade and that money was directly responsible for the staff that you know r kelly told which girls would eat on a particular night in who wouldn't who was on punishment who was disallowed from coming out of the studio room that he locked them in and was disallowed Bathroom privileges so there was an operation. This is why he was charged with a rico charge right. There was an operation a criminal operation. That your concert dollars Got flowing directly towards you funding right but this question about art versus artists is is a test that i feel personally I'm able to turn away from r. Kelly even though i do think he is. Probably the greatest. Rb singer of my generation starts marriage. Abe lodge ours like we're about to do this conversation. We had mary j. She wins But i wasn't able when proclaimed wrote mad about miles after quincy troops autobiography with him. Came out and we learned about The kind of the kind of serial abuser he was. I may have been successful of a miles davis boycott for a couple of months and then fell in love. And i was listening to miles davis again so i have not passed that test all the time separating the art from the artists or boycotting an art artists because of their personal Terrible behavior. I would like if people are unable to you know. Stop listening to r kelly. Stop streaming him than i would like these music companies despite afars and the other companies To establish fun the restitution. That's going to be necessary to begin. The healing journeys for these victims is is mammoth and we're having we're hearing reports that he's broke that he has a negative income. So you know you can't stop listening to our kelly. Let that money go towards his victims. Let's talk about the survivor as we've been talking about About kelly but let's let's talk about the survivors. Obviously not only. Did you provide this extraordinary and extremely painful to watch series but You were in the room you encountered you engaged and undoubtedly made choices about what we would see what we would hear. He talked to me a bit about how that process you know. I've been thinking about the process a lot lately. I've been thinking about and this may be a conversation for some other place. But i've been thinking a lot. About what documentary can do and what. It can't You know first and foremost the studio was interested in protecting itself from liable from from you know from being sued from litigation and that meant that while we had lawyers who were policing my interview questions. Making sure that they weren't leading making sure that they could stand up As a transcript and say a lawsuit we didn't have therapists on the set. You know we didn't that investment wasn't made and these women were reopening wounds and trauma and reliving that for my cameras for hours under hot lights. I mean we would take breaks and then they needed them often but none of the survivors entered everyone at every one of them and their parents. None of them sat for me for less than four hours. It was necessary. You know for me to play a role that quite frankly in this you know in the world of sexual victims of crimes. I was charged as a producer on this to play the prosecutor. You know and prosecutors aren't my favorite people which means that. I was required if someone told me a story that was awful. I was required to say to ask the same questions. Detectives asked for instance. Like who else did you tell about this. And when and may i have their contact like i had to do all the kind of verification that we think is happening in the criminal justice system. And that's not a role that that i'm proud of. Necessarily i would much rather reached out to the most as a survivor myself. As a black woman as a sister but that wasn't the role that i was charged with doing on the set in order for this project to make it to television. Does that make sense. It does and and as i listen to you say it. I wonder how you survived. Surviving r kelly. How you as a survivor as a harm of the daughter. How you how.

Georgetown University's Larry Gostin said the paper throws gasoline on the fire in the debate about whether most Americans truly need boosters whether the White House got ahead of the scientists. It's always a fundamental error process to make a scientific announcement before the public health agencies have acted, and that's exactly what happened here is that Boston is also a lawyer in public health specialist now.

Which is more adequate to the needs of the human mind than reality itself. In which through sheer imagination.

"Say books and you used to go to that delhi or time you know here too late locks once getting you've had a kosher dill tell us about. What are they like. The articles heidrick wrote about the internal jewish threat played a direct role in bringing on what scholars called the second anti semitic wave in nazi germany. Which began in nineteen thirty five with mass spontaneous. Violence against jewish people in businesses. Heidrick hated this because it was bad for the economy and for the sense of order he knew that the german middle-class center right families did not like seeing that shit the nuremberg laws. Then were a response to st antisemitism. The nuremberg laws existed to stop people from beating and murdering jews in the street and destroying their businesses. 'cause that shit is bad for business right there were like no no no no no listen. We're going to do this through the state we're gonna have state but they're they're metaphorical boot on their neck. Yes we need to oppress jews with law not with random street violets exactly exactly and we need to know you know what constitutes a jew. We need to know how much blood you need to. Have you know how many how many times you know you've been to the theater. You know we need to know all this stuff first before we can categorize you exactly and that's a big part of the nuremberg laws. We're not gonna go into nearly enough detail. I mean there's whole books re just about the nuremberg laws. There's this process of determining what a jew is because this is. This is a big misconception. The jews are not targeted by the nazi state for their religion. They are targeted for their ethnicity. Yeah it you're a someone who had a jewish mom and you're a hard core protestant or a catholic your raju to reinhard heidrick. You're an atheist and you marry a fucking bohemian woman. Who's a catholic your raju to reinhard heidrick. It didn't matter if it was within jewish law. Like if you had a jewish father but not a jewish mother like you know that's not folically. Jewish i it depends because like the under the nuremberg laws. I think right. I wouldn't be a jew right right right. He chained yeah he. He liked the nuremberg laws but he thought they didn't go far enough and he ride his big issues that will. This doesn't define enough people as jewish right. Yes too many ways for someone with jewish ancestry to slip into the people's racial. Now the problem for me but he sees still. This is a big step forward right the nuremberg laws. Because now there's this is the first real legal justification for for sustained persecution of the jews under the nazi regime. Now in one thousand nine thirty four heidrick had suggested in an internal memo that the aim of jewish policies must be the immigration of all jews and he urged that voluntary immigration could be achieved by creating a legal climate so oppressive that jewish people could no longer stand to stay in the reich to further this end in nineteen thirty five. He had the gestapo start keeping track of all jewish german residents in nineteen thirty six. He started monitoring their financial transactions to stop them from putting their money in foreign banks. They had to leave but he wanted. Most of their wealth to remain now heidrick supported to an extent the zionist movement in palestine. And in fact he we have these memos from him. Where saying like i want to crack down on any sort of organizations supporting jewish assimilation into german culture when we should support the zionist movement. And in fact he actually sins adolf eichmann to palestine in the thirties to talk with a member of the haganah which becomes the idea to discuss how they could. I urge further immigration. And this. there's some we we should go into more detail about the. There's some wild shit this meeting including the fact that this this. This emissary of zionist tells aikman that the german like they're having problems with the german jews who were leaving germany and coming to a to palestine because number one. They don't plan to stay. They want to go back to europe. And they're in his words. Workshy which is also what. The nazis described right exactly. It's it's really a lot of interesting history. They're very interesting internal antisemitism amongst the kind of like right wing class in israel. Yeah and it. It doesn't like again mo- as soon as the war starts. The vast majority of zionist movement is not just anti-nazi is like actively shooting knots. Or of course as we talked about in some other. There's a chunk of them that are willing to work with these guys. Yup because they both think jus shouldn't assimilate you're right. Yeah now Even the nazis were not uniform in their attitudes about what should be done to the jews and again. This is actually a thing that there's a lot of debate over because there's large trump's of the nazi party who want the street. Violence thinks that the pogroms or the way to go about achieving their ins- gurgles is a big chunk of this Gurgle supports a collage of boycott street. Violence and vandalism against us. That's why he and his propaganda arms are trying are stirring up a lot of the street violence. Right and that's their goal is to get germans out in the street doing violence destroying jewish property and high. Like there's a big competition between these two wings of the of the german party both of which are essentially proposing different answers to the jewish question. Gurbuz saying you know. We beat them and killed them in the street force in force you know the ones we don't beat and kill to leave heidrick saying no no we use the law to an orderly way oppress them so that they leave loser two different answers to the jewish question in late. Nineteen thirty five. These various sides of the nazi party kind of came together decided like we can't keep arguing over this. We have to have a concerted strategy and they held a big how to racism. Meeting now the impetus of this was a massive pogrom. Nineteen thirty five. That did millions of dollars in damage to the german economy. Because again when you read through the streets destroying businesses and departments. It's bad for business right right right. These these economies don't exist in a vacuum like you're actively hurting the german economy as well when you're doing this. Yeah and so in this in like this meeting is actually come is called because the german economic minister. A guy named hilmar shocked. Who's a friend of of the doha's brothers and also i think a friend of the coke brothers dad. He's an anti seven. But he's i'll tell you i am shocked with names. That's good so he felt that the economic consequences of this were unacceptable and so he holds this meeting to be like. We have to figure out a better way to do this. And heidrick is very much in agreement with shocked in this and he takes this meeting as an opportunity to try to whip again the thing he does best. He tries to whip everyone in line behind his strategy. He says during the meeting quote the only way to both get the jews out and avoid violence is a concerted campaign of economic marginalization. He also suggested a ban on mixed marriage the prosecution of sexual intercourse between jews and arians and restrictions of jewish freedom of movement. His suggestion in this meeting led directly to the nuremberg laws which reformulated that september so again. That's why this all habits so the nuremberg laws of the legal basis for all organized nazi persecution of jews the first concrete step towards the holocaust and hydrates performance in that meeting his ability to rangel his fellow nazis towards his desired plan of action establishes him as the leading nazi authority on the jewish question. Now the mid nineteen thirties are also the height of the weird nazi period. This is the time when the colt wings of the party were at their strongest in hell. Boy right elements were real. There was a bunch of weird like Heinrich himmler thinking. He's the reincarnation of a danish prince right. Hitler's best buddy. Who rudolph. I think it was rudolf. Hess who is like super into the colt and doing like seances and shit. Yeah this is like doing like full nerd. Shit just you're hurting out on paganism. And that's not a big factor. Once the war starts even right before the war starts in effect hess's flight to europe because he got it loses his mind to england to try to. That's like a big part of like because he had been such an advocate of this because he had so hitler saw it as like a kind of a betrayal like that that kind of spells and into the influence of that but there's always a level of it in the ss and. This is talked about a lot. It's probably overemphasized. Now it's fair to say heinrich himmler hitler. The other big. Nazis didn't trust his christianity particularly catholicism and they wanted to minimize its influence both in the reich in the ss. To this end. Hitler replaced marriage ceremonies for s men with the f. y. Which was a new fascist wedding ritual. He replaced easter celebrations with midsummer celebrations. And he brought in a whole host of pagan rituals. He claimed were ancient german old time religion. Now this new quasi faith that himmler kind of cobbled together for the. Ss is called gout. Glauber kite and it was not popular again. This gets overemphasized and its height about twenty. Two percent of the ss follows. This whatever you wanna call it. Religion fifty four percent are protestant and the rest are catholic. Heidrick is one of the twenty two percent who buys into himmler's weird neo-pagan nazi thing. Although this is more toadying he's trying to impress his boss by doing this. After the war lena heidrick would claim that she and her husband made fun of himmler's weird religion in private. So he's not very committed to this doing virtue virtue. Signaling yeah those nazi is not the overlords. But you know who won't virtue signal to their nazi overlords the products and services. That's that is right. It is the products and services. That support this podcast. None of them are believers in german megan s philosophy. Yeah they will never do. Weird nazi weddings unless you want them to. Yeah i mean well okay. Let's just the ads at this point. Paper goes returns with an investigation into a tragedy. That took place deep in america's heartland in tucked away ohio town where a massive farmhouse belonging to a wealthy family erupted in flames. The finder everywhere. All four residents inside were dead and not a single person died from the flames or smoke so the question becomes what killed them or more importantly who my brother says carol. Something's up there is too much blood this season. I'm not chasing a missing persons flyer. I'm chasing a wanted poster and how the mob works say. Don't leave anybody. I didn't want nobody to know what i was what i was doing. How's the deion. I wouldn't have to mixed. Listen to pay ghosts on. Iheartradio app apple podcasts.

I'm host of the recount daily pot each morning on the recount daily pod. I'll bring you a quick rundown of the top headlines and then an in depth interview with decision makers the reporters covering them an experts who break it all down. Listen to the recount. Daily pod on the iheartradio app on apple podcasts. And wherever you get your podcasts. We're back so in one thousand nine hundred eighty. Six heidrick launched a systematic torture campaign against the jehovah's witnesses and the jehovah's witnesses. This is important to note in terms of absolute numbers. Not a lot of these guys. Not a sizeable chunk of the holocaust although a lot of them get killed relative to their population. But the jehovah's witnesses are the only group in the third reich who was persecuted purely on the basis of their religion right and that's because jehovah's witnesses refused to swear allegiance to governments and that makes them enemies of the state under the nazis heidrick. Crackdown would eventually lead. Six thousand witnesses being arrested in internment in concentration camps hundreds died and camps were executed straightaway. I think they were a purple triangle in the concentration camps now hydros. Prosecution of freemasonry was by comparison. A lot less brutal. Mainly because freemasons didn't hold that much power and like none of them are willing to die for their dumb club so once the nazis take power. They'll just of leave. And he escapes their stuff and he puts it in a museum in subsequent years. He establishes another similar museum which is filled with jewish artifacts and. That's his idea is like we need to have these museums to show people the dangers of this ideology and like how but also how silly it is like right like that's what do you put in museum but things that no longer exist and are now in the pags shadowing fucking scumbag shit ever Is good shit. In one thousand thirty seven heidrick had his criminal police launch a massive dragnet operation against what he called habitual criminals and a socials. Now these were people who didn't work or didn't work enough or lived on the street or made their living in a less than legal manner by the end of nineteen thirty eight. Nearly twenty thousand ase socials were in preventative detention. These people were also sent to concentration camps mostly as a scare tactic the reich was in the midst of a labor shortage and the point of this particular campaign was to force people to work not to kill them all these different crusades in the late thirties. Tax the concentration camp system which had not been well planned from the beginning in late. Nineteen thirty six to thirty seven. The ss reorganize the camps shutting down. Most of the old ones and building new ones modeled off of dock out from hitler's hangman. Quote the duck. How model designed to regiment the prisoners and dehumanize the relations with the guards was based on a system of graded punishment for various offenses which ranged from denial of food to execution to dehumanize relationship with prisoners. The guards behavior was regulated to maintain distance eliminate human contact. The first of these camps was sachsenhausen north of berlin. And if you're ever in berlin. I really recommend taking a tour of sachsenhausen. The german government is a very good job of of doing of has done a good job of making these places in museums. And when you get a tour at one of these places it's not just like subdued. Who's doing a summer job. Some kid in somebody with a degree like they people who work there. I've talked with a number of them. I i did this tour. You can have long about hannah. Arendt about the nature of fascism about the development. They're very knowledgeable. I walked away very impressed and we did the tour. I went on was in like the debt of december. So you know you're covered in snow. It's freezing outside and everybody is like you're bundled up. It's the german winter. Yeah and you're walking around. You're seeing this concentration camp. You're seeing one of the things that really stuck with me as they had these concrete pits which are like these square pits like ten or fifteen feet deep with a great on top of them. That people would be stuck in for days at a time. And you could look in and you could see the marks where they'd claude at the coined fingernail marks still in it would walk around like freezing your ass off just utterly miserable in this cold and you would go inside and the first thing you would see was one of the concentration camp uniforms. Which is this threadbare black and white units hard thing and it's just like this immediate like. Oh oh yeah. I certainly not taking the cold of the german winter into account with the union. Yeah well or you could argue taking it very much into account and you.

Cigarettes are rising in popularity with ten point eight million adult users in the US as of two thousand eighteen part of the attraction may be that they're perceived as being less hazards to the health then conventional smoking since users don't receive the cancer causing tar found in conventional cigarettes and two that the allure of the sweet tasting flavorings available. For addition to the liquid and people such as US food and Drug administration Commissioner, Dr Scott Gottlieb, where he it may be all too. Appealing to youthful users. But that pleasant taste may have a downside. Researchers say in a study published in October of two thousand eighteen in the journal nicotine and tobacco research. Scientists from Duke and Yale universities found that chemical flavorings for vanilla cherry citrus. Cinnamon interacted with solvents such as propylene glycol and glacier, all in the illiquid forming new compounds called avatars, which can trigger irritation and inflammation when inhaled according to the Duke medicine press release the interaction occurs. Even before the liquid is heated. We spoke with Hannah Arendt repel a post doctoral associate at the yield tobacco center of regulatory science. And a co author of the study he said, we simply don't know what long-term effects these compounds and many other compounds in east cigarette liquid have on the Airways, many of the additives to liquids have G R A S status, which means generally regarded as safe, but that's based on ingestion and on d'ormal or skin exposure. There isn't much knowledge about what these compounds. Might do in the Airways and lungs, and that's true for all vapors young and old earth. Rappel added that scientists already know that further reactions take place during the heating step of vaping. All of this means that the initial list of ingredients for illiquid, quote is likely different from the final illiquid composition, which in turn is different. From what the user is exposed to in the generated aerosol, how that might affect vapors bodies isn't yet clear, but the researchers say that the irritant compounds will persist in the body for some time after a user vapes. Overtime that mild irritation could trigger the immune system and create an inflammatory response in your body. Which isn't a good thing for anyone. But especially for users with conditions like asthma and repel notes that the researchers have other concerns as well. He said if this reaction can take place that creates a more irritating compound or possibly more toxic. What other reactions can take place that might cause increased risk for users. We simply don't know I would add that term effects of aping on the air. As and the whole body are generally unknown, given how young these devices are independent of the final composition of illiquid. Abut the fact that these more irritating compounds form is certainly not reassuring in that regard. We also spoke by Email with Robert strongin, a professor of organic chemistry at Portland state university. Who was not connected with the Duke Yale study, he said that just as users aren't aware of these new chemicals being created an illiquid scientists similarly don't know much about the effect of those chemicals on the body quote. We know very little or nothing about the flavoring additives or even much about the solvents as far as their inhalation. Toxicity especially as chronically used in e cigarettes, a chemical safer ingestion are not necessarily safe for inhalation inhaled, organic solvents and flavorings bypass processing by these stomach and liver. Lung tissue is different. Just because we can eat flavor molecules doesn't mean at all that it's okay to inhale them. A repel says that more research is needed. On the chemical changes in illiquid 's and what health effects they may have a which will be a challenge CENA's how there are an estimated seven thousand flavors or more on the market right now. And that market is growing. Today's episode was written by Patrick j tiger and produced by Tyler claim for more on this and lots of other health, topics. Visit our home planet has two forks dot com.
