Theodore P. Snow & Don Brownlee - The Sixth Element: How Carbon Shapes Our World

A cosmic perspective on carbon its importance in the universe and our lives When we think of carbon, we might first think of a simple element near the top of the periodic table: symbol C, atomic number 6. Alternatively, we might think of something more tangible a sooty piece of coal or a sparkling diamond, both made of carbon. Or, as Earth's temperature continues to rise alarmingly, we might th...

Chris Haufe - Fruitfulness: Science, Metaphor, and the Puzzle of Promise
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.29 дней назад
Some ideas seem to possess a disproportionate ability to lead to new insights, new discoveries, new ideas, and even entirely new ways of thinking. Such ideas are said to be fruitful. Looking across the history of science and mathematics, we see creative minds preoccupied with the search for ideas of this kind. More precious than truth, but far less plentiful, fruitful ideas provide those in pur...

Interviewer could have talked less and asked more specific questions. Let her talk
So fun chatting with you!!
It was very interesting and stimulating interview. The questions were put in the hardest way possible, but Kevin handled them with grace and knowledge. I was impressed with his ability to explain his view so clearly and concisely. Definitely will buy Kevin Mitchell’s book.
Drummers hurrah….keeps you young
Diogenes devaluing the coins is a metaphor for him devaluing what people valued in his time, which rings true, perhaps even more so today, with how much value and importance people put onto material wealth and possessions, ironically Diogenes would have spat in the faces of these two for being such comfort loving materialists!

Is it Worldwide that they put Sars2 in the Flu vaccines. Here in Quebec some are on their 5th covid vaccines, do the yearly and some get the pneumonia/ bronchial vaccines and the three doses of The Shingles They say a child in the States by the age of birth to 18 will have had 72 shots
So he's saying we can coexist, as long as we don't say things the other does not like? Finds offensive? In fear of losing everything? OK, so people will stop talking to each other altogether. We shall witness the end of humanity following very quickly. A democratic tool??? It's a tool that has been used in totalitarian societies for 1000s of years. Nowadays you don't 'fight with protests', you fight with becoming more competent, more resilient and taking responsibility.
Currently reading the book - excellent. I have also purchased the French edition. Warmly recommended.
Emil Cioran is the guy he compares to Diogenes
Gonna pick up his book. I am fascinated by the Cynics, they tug on my heart strings.
would recommend you read this book: The cynic philosophers from Diogenes to Julian, a penguin classic that is an Indepth look at the cynic philosophy before it branches off into stoicism.
@@darillus1 there's also this book called the Cynic epistles, supposed letters written by crates and diogenes themselves. I have them both on order now
@@scoon2117cool, Diogene's didn't write anything down, all we have is secondhand accounts unfortunately
@darillus1 I'm pretty sure he did write some things from what I read about him, unfortunately it's all lost.
Hi Sy, so good to see you here!!!
~28: benjamin libet? found the urge precedes consciousness of free decision by 150ms i think.
Piece of garbage
Great interview. Thank you.
I don't like to criticise, because I want to encourage any channel focusing on reading. But, if I may... I've watched many interviews with Lionel Shriver, and I must say this is the only one in which she looked more and more bored as it progressed. Of course, she may have been having a bad day, but I think the questions were just not interesting/challenging enough. Also (sorry) I think she was a little tired of the interviewer's personal anecdotes, hence the cringeworthy complete silence at the end of many of them. I enjoyed listening to LS, but I think the interview technique needs some refinement. 👍
Thanks for reminding me of my narcissistic tendencies. I too am bored of my anecdotes and there is nothing worse than cringe. I’ll do my best but I am 72 and I have never really benefitted from any advice, so as to refinement…. You are very pleasant in your critical style. Unusual to see in a world where civil discourse has gone by the wayside. I feel bad that Lionel didn’t (if she didn’t) enjoy our conversation.
@@samuelhankin1187 I appreciate your taking it in the spirit intended. As I say, she could've just had an off day - we never know what's going on in someone's life. Cheers. 👍
Yes kids should learn and read Nietzche From total range
Margaret Murphy is a weaver of fantastic tales, growing up in a world where the truth is too much for one little girl to endure. Her first memory is of the day her friend Agnes died. You would thick this little one has autism, but she may have passed the theoretical framework; meaning harsh behavior that gives her withdraws, unique in its writing the author did a good job.
Thanks for this.
My pleasure!
Saw him on recent podcasts.... his take is amateur, dated and just a narcissistic and ego-driven grasp to hold on to control for the self while ignoring the benefits to greater society should we just let these selfish notions go.
That’s a bit sudden..Have you read the book?
Hey Sy!!!! <3 <3 <3
This book was fantastic. I couldn’t put it down.
Me encantaría llevar curso de la Biblia por favor gracias .🙏🙏
Talk to Neil Turok. Parsimony can be more beautiful (and true) than _anything goes._
Anybody else catch that low-key Christopher Walken impersonation at 1:06?
The best interview of this author of his book tour. Well done.
This book and the character of Margaret will stay with me for a long time. (Side note: interviewer talks too much.)
We need cures for schizophrenia !seriously
OMG that moment when Sam Hankin reveals... and poor Andy Clark is cornered. But surely Mr Hankin must realise that believing there was no Pentagon plane leads inevitably to all the rest? Or has he come up with his own esoteric theory, with some sort of pick-n-mix in what he believes? So strange, and actually kind of typical, that he should think it's other people who are prone to conspiracy theories. Not him though.
Hé thought I was one of the waiters! Classic! 😊
My question is: only 2 people knew about Bill Paley banging the governors wife during her period and she bled all over the bed. So how did Capote get that story and from who--0Bill Palery? That doesnt make sense
This was fascinating! I was 13 when Truman Capote died and knew nothing about him. I’m so glad I found this interview.
Very interesting!
Very disjointed interview, no focus. It sounds as if the interviewer was totally unprepared and was just winging it. I gave up half way through.
Fascinating conversation about a book I've loved.
This interviewer is a bloody idiot. He's not prepared at all.
It’s really awful that one doesn’t know that The Glass Menagerie was based on William’s life with his mother and sister… and the other didn’t know that Holly Golightly was based on Capote’s mother. Do your homework , fellas.
Truman's last words were,"It's Buddy. I'm cold.” Buddy was his childhood nickname.
@@hughjanus5336 whoa! That’s eerie.
“Breakfast at Tifanny’s” had a Hollywood ending because they couldn’t stick to the plot.
Must read!
His love-hate relationship with his mother explains a lot.
. 25:38 After a while it's boooring. And then Truman grew to his 15 min of fame Out like the 🔥. 🤺💐
What an interesting interview. Thank you. I'm getting ready to watch Capote vs. The Swans and I'm trying to catch up on stories beforehand. I'll definitely be getting the book now. ❤
Lovely talk. Fun stories. Thanks so much for sharing.
Good book, capote's, The kennedy women is a good read. Sadly this is a terrible interviewer.
Couldn’t agree more
Babe Paley should had being played by Demi Moore, there is a great resemblance in between them.
Naomi Watts did a great job. She had me convinced she was channeling Babe.
Rumour looks even more like Babe than Demi.
Awkward interview. Could you not have produced this and edited out the phones beeping ? I guess the author can write well , but he certainly can’t speak well . Mumbles and stutters. But that could have been edited out to make it more enjoyable for listeners.
Terrible interview. Interviewer was all over the place. This is more a personal conversation that you are overhearing.
I hate that guy
Fire book
Great book. I,too, wanted to read the backstory before the miniseries on FX. I also read Deliberate Cruelty, the story about Anne Woodward.
That was a nice book.... she was just internally disturbed.
