I always think it's interesting to start with people's backstory because gave us a hint savvy. But where did you grow up. I grew up in jersey princeton. The mean streets of princeton new jersey.

Who's going to fix the vcr for those people. Remember what that was. But i think what it did. In the benefit of the excitement of that is we had a family of asking questions. So when you're a scientist you really focus on asking interesting questions. And that that stayed with me my whole life and that kind of drove a lot of things in my life and changes that i made in my life and how i think about what i wanna do. Next is curiosity. Do you have to come to the dinner table arm with a question. Mom is that right now. It wasn't like ebay. Just you see that around you. They're always like oh here's something in the world like when you're to turn into therapy sessions. Maybe a little bit. Sanford coming here. Did you have a sense of what your parents did like when you were when you were a kid. Did you like physicists. Did now no clue now. But you know we'd be driving. I'd be driving along with my dad. And i in down the street and you'd see this shimmer and thing that looks like a lake driving asphalt and incentives. Just ignoring. he'd be like well. Why do you think that why does it look like and we talk about refraction that just creates. I'm sure that happened to that's cool. I think that's interesting but you ended up studying physics in college. I did and you know. Part of that. Curiosity thing is that you are just you see stuff in the world. Why is the sky blue. I mean that's sort of classic you start looking around. Why is water wet. He's just start asking why the world is the way that it is and you just keep going and so you went even further and physics to get a. And what was the impetus behind that. Just like more questions. Yeah it's it's just. You're just teasing in undergraduate science. Just learning some of the basics of the basic rules the basic language inserted like writing. You learn some basic techniques of writing but that's very different than producing a book jersey go to graduate school learn. Okay done all the elementary rules. Now how do we figure out something new about the world. Now it just interesting but you chose not to pursue that path.

"Interested in from now on. Oh and i want to talk about that too like this like american thing of like a movie about a you know a very rich white guy told in the most pathetic way possible even as he does like kind of bad stuff is interesting solely american. Not that's just my perspective because the american like bootstrap part. Although what am i saying. Citizen kane is not bootstrap -i some guy had the colorado load which is a funny thing to say and then he became rich through no fault like he didn't do it at all he just inherited it all. Is it all in his twenty fifth birthday. And he had this massive wealth on his twenty-fifth became like the sixth richest man in america. Twenty kind of a jan. I'm any of this but there is this one tiny corner of my wealth which i happen to own. A newspaper randomly probably bought in a foreclosure auction or something. I know i'm going to have some fun with that in the bank that just fun you'll be having fun to be a rich person. People having a newspaper isn't a toy. That's every rich guy who buys a media outlet doesn't this don't we see this today with the new republic. And what are some other. Ben will talk about. Jared kushner buying the observer shape penzone buying up like all of hollywood media. American isn't it. Oh yeah and then when you went to own a newspaper. The temptation to metal is just so irresistible as it is so much power and newspapers. I mean the thing about the news. Media also can cause enormous amounts of trouble for rich people who are otherwise shielded from it. So they even know though. These aren't the way to make money. This is the way to control the story and and wheels power. I think like it gives the rich people who do terrible. Things have kind of appreciation of the media. Because it's like the one institution that doesn't always bend to their. Will it harvey weinstein. Jeffrey epstein were the investors and talk for instance. Wow and this does remind me of that. Whole chapter of the brad stone book. About jeff bezos way. He really uses his ownership of the washington post to his advantage. When the whole news of the fabrics yeah itself is like noble journalists type. You all of these rumors about him being hacked by the saudis because they didn't like him because of the kashogi coverage and completely untrue. Yeah no it was incredibly cynical. It's like he had gotten all this kind of goodwill from buying the newspaper not that long earlier and just immediately caches it all in to cover up a totally random and meaningless personal foible random. But it wasn't meaning that not to list the post is doing wall-to-wall streaming coverage of jeff businesses. A blue origin launched. They have the exclusive very impressive that they got that taken a lot of a lot of hustle. I actually. i'm a little hard to shop. But i found that kind of shocking. It's one of those things where you bend over backward to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest for awhile and then maybe because you're taking heat for it any way you stop trying. I don't have no idea what they're doing like. Why did they cover. I don't think covered the richard branson launch wall right. Well it was my theory. Why jeff gets smart coverage blow news. We is very slow news moment. The newspaper closed weekends fucking the weekend. Right any let's be honest okay so there are a lot of real life citizen. Kane's to this very day. Eighty years later like the story of the man who didn't get loved enough as a child and craves love for his whole life and ruins. People's lives is timeless but they portrayal of the media in this movie is kind of timeless to is the message. I'm getting from you folks here. Nothing will change like awesome wells. Got it right in nineteen forty one and it will remain right in perpetuity. As emily was saying earlier. I do think that the notion that a lot of these things that we attribute to the internet predate the internet is like a good reminder at least yeah sensationalist media and news definitely predated may have caused a war unclear right in the spanish-american more i mean is that a lot of people are blaming judy miller on the new york times certainly iraq war. I'm in part of the fabric of things right. Need to pick a cause is. Here's a spokesman for the new york times. I feel obliged to the high profile media columnist for the new york times. It is now officially your job to stand up and defend the new york times against all attacks on a domestic. That is the most annoying part of this job. I have to say it's interesting. That i was just thinking. There's kind of an absence of other kinds of media the next thing about season. He schematic and simple. There's so little going on in a way there's so few doctors is occurs aren't really other forms of there's no radio was obviously the really and if you having conversations in the twenties and thirties about the power of media and the scary power of media you were talking about radio like all the conversation. We're having now but the internet we're about the radio of course knows better than anyone the center of all of them because he before he does cain and he came at the age of twenty four but even before he does cane. He does war of the worlds. Which is this radio play saying. Oh my god the aliens were invading and it is so very similitude. Ns that like people genuinely think that the aliens are invading and they start panicking because they hearing on the radio the aliens invading. And i think that is awesome. Wells is real sort of moment. Eye-opening moment of the power of media. So have you listened to lately. It's so great. And i think it's a little unclear to the extent to which most of the audience was in on the joke but there were some newspaper reports about people. I mean it was actually one of these classic things. It's it remains a subject of dispute whether the audience was tricked or whether the audience got it but it was a great story that the audience thought that the aliens were invading and ran out into the streets and miss started shooting at clouds or whatever and it was in some newspapers and politicians then saw it in the newspapers and held hearings about it. There was discussion of regulation and it was a classic one of these media cycles but it remains a little. I think unclear how widespread it was. The people didn't realize it was a radio. This is the equivalent if those like internet journalists to find a random tweet from someone with five followers and they blow it up into people saying on the internet and then there were like parliamentary hearings. Used to be called man on the street. I definitely learned in school. That happened like i was taught that in american history i think in high school that orson welles made people think aliens invaded america or the earth rather of aliens invaded the earth or your jersey princeton. So i guess yeah. He understood the power of the media. Narrative let me just for your listeners. Like ads piece of media. It really holds up. I mean it's amazing. Listen to hold up.

"And that becomes a focal point at people's understanding about a place but yet the story is so much bigger than that for those people especially the aftermath of battle the armies and the people are left clean right right and in this particular case in princeton also the preliminaries to the battle riche occupation. What just wasn't january third a month long experience for the people of princeton before all that at the outset of the actual war what was life like living in princeton new jersey. Princeton was probably a relatively quiet town. It wasn't too big but it was on a main road between the arkansas adelphia. Between new england southern colonies for that matter because it was almost halfway between new york and philadelphia. It was a very convenient stage coach. Stop an overnight stop in some cases and so you had a lot of people travelling through town yet several taverns to accommodate travelers and then it also had the college college attracted visitors as well as students coming and going and all of that. It was nowhere near as big a university as princeton university today but it was right in the center of town and was key point. the town. Nassau hall was but landmark of the village of princeton on a hill and was very visible from a long way away which is the other element of christmas is farm country but little village surrounded by farmland. So there's a lot of cleared land. Visibility was a lot more distant than we think of today. The people in princeton were not all of a homogeneous background. There is diversity and religion between presbyterians and quakers for example most of the people who had settled in princeton. Were of english ancestry. But there were a few french. You cannot send digestion. Germans things like that and then there's also of course in african african-american population there is slavery in princeton. Generally no more than one or two slaves per household but still slavery. Sure so. I think that is a little bit of an introduction to the town. Princeton was we would today call. Central jersey was somewhat close to the dividing line between east and west jersey. Yet talk about that a little bit. The odds right on the line between east and west jersey are there had been two colonies. He stirs in west jersey. There is somewhat of a land dispute between the proprietor proprietary colonies and there some land disputes. So several attempts were made to draw a line on the map between the two may simply to settle land disputes. So there's a province line shop rating the keith. Line is one of those very prominent one when the two colonies came together as one colony of new jersey. Princeton was right on that keith line. East jersey and west jersey had developed a little bit differently from each other older english background. There was also a major dutch influence in east jersey. Particularly up in the northeast part near new york city. West jersey was more influenced by philadelphia and quaker population. There cranston was right smack in the middle which was not bad because economically. It was a pretty good spot but it did mean that there was a fair amount of diversity in town which for many of the people like john..

New Jersey's Princeton To Remove Woodrow Wilson Name From Public Policy School
"Princeton University's removing Woodrow Wilson's name from school of public and international affairs because of what the school called his racist thinking and policies. Wilson was not only the 28th U. S president he was Princeton's president, but during his tenure there, he barred black students.
