The UFO/UAP discussion phenomenon does seem to have settled into a Waiting For Godot scenario.

The Constitution may not be perfect, but it’s better than what we have now.

Whats the point of having toys if ya cant play with them..

good topic

He missed the entire point of the Bill of Rights. It's not about what people are allowed to do, but about what government is forbidden to do. As in, it's not about freedom of speech/the press through handing out handbills written with a quill-- the technology is irrelevant since the whole point was that government is forbidden to meddle in the things placed out of reach of the government by the Constitution. If you don't understand the point, you'll come to the wrong conclusions every time. (I am not a constitutionalist, believing instead that documents don't create or protect rights, and that the "right" to govern others can't exist or be created.)

30:09 “…what religious credences are supposed to do is define your group identity. It actually helps to have ones that are a bit irrational or incoherent, or maybe, even, false.” Professor Van Leeuwen claims the outlandish elements of religion are intended to serve an essential purpose. Along those same lines, may it also be construed that any big name religion must also feature an omniscient, omnipotent central character as its superior deity? For, what is distinctive and influential about any religion if its supreme, infallible god can’t intervene in the everyday lives of its vulnerable and naive human subjects?

Other than Police at Airports etc, I've never seen a gun in the UK.

It would be so nice if Michael Shurmer was to stop using some of the known identified 95% or 98% cases to support the assumption that it applies to 100%. The interesting cases are not the explained ones. And one example of an explained case is not a scientific method to explain 100% cases. Otherwise we would say « there cannot be an Einstein because 95% of people are not Einstein ».

The point about having a monthly column vs daily pieces is something I'm turning over in my head right now too... Rick Beato just put out a video talking about how it's so easy to crank out music now, and the worth of working for music, both in the making and the aquisition and enjoyment. A monthly column not only gives me, the reader, a chance to digest like you said, to walk the world with it and integrate realizations and reflections, but it also is a product of you evaluating what's worth writing. You, with your experiences and insights notice what keeps coming up for you as you think about perhaps unrelated things in the world and events over the course of the month, and we get the benefit of your particular distillation. How to keep this aspect while everything speeds up with AI and all the societal changes that are challenging us on the horizon is something I'm mullling intently recently and this conversation was very interesting to many ends.

Please dont use music under theses

This is the only cogent explanation of the Palestinian Israeli situation that I have ever heard. Everything else I’ve heard sounds like obscurantist bullshit in comparison. Thank you Einat and thank you, Michael Shermer, for giving her the time to lay out her ideas and evidence so thoroughly. Brilliant!

I am praying for peace and the right to self determination to the Palestinians. Free Palestine! /Stop the occupation and genocide!

Si israel esta en la peninsula arabiga es porque el judaismo real biblico nacio en arabia y pertenece al judaismo arabe no alos judeoeuropeos y creo ese es el conficto

It sounds good but in essence it won’t work why ? Because it is not the Quran narrative ! We have to understand the Arab mentality ! Hope it will come to fruition, but sadly I don’t see it happening in the foreseeable future !!!

Maybe to an alien intelligence the "tree" doesnt look like a tree at all. Maybe they will conceptualise the negative space of tree and the tree as one unit. Who knows? Its our cognitive apparatus that arranges the fundamental entities to make it appear as what we have named a tree distinct from its surroundings. So it is our consciousness which is giving the tree its identity. That is what Cristoph is trying to say but Miachel Shermer with his low IQ wont understand.

Our "leaders" need to pick up a Bible. UFOs are the creation of the antichrist. A lie made up by the devil for the devil. He was a liar and murderer from the start. The prophecies of Habakkuk describe what they do. So much profit from speculation and "investigation" but no glory to God. The Lord declares what is right, the Lord declares what is true. He tells the end from the beginning for there is no God like the God of Israel, the God of our Bibles, the God of the oldest book on earth....but we still don't get it <sigh>. SMH right back at you, sharky-poo.

Why the Jews ? Jews never saw themselves as victims ! Jews never played the blaming game ! Jews never held out the begging bowl! We have a different mindset !!!!

Religious belief is in many ways a flight from temporality. There could be other things like an impoverished culture of imagination in our time (maybe folklore, wild tales and the like serve a deeper need, from when we lived in villages). But I think it's likely the reluctance to embrace duration.

Sadly, there will never be peace, the mind set for violence is entrenched into men’s mind , however we should never stop trying to achieve this elusive peace we all want. Not until Messiah returns there will be wars. The only peace is found in acceptance of Yeshua(Jesus) our Messiah.

it's amazing we have even bothered to build out our civilizations since the development of the nuclear age. What's the point?

The problem with deriving our moral values from a daity is that, for this to work, we have to have have those values defined arbitrarily in a text so that they can be enforced in a consistent and fair way. And this system, which relies upon a text, is intrinsically arbitrary and thus immoral. What should govern our behaviour towards others is our empathy for their suffering.

The ultimate question is not about the existence of God. That’s a fallacy baed on traditional religious thought. The idea of God or gods arose as a product of the need for primitive societies to develop a collective matrix of meaning that had certain functions within the functionality of those societies. It involved a collective willingness to use the imagination to subscribe to certain pretend facts about the supernatural and play a religion game. God or gods are simply characters in the religious game. Theology and religion are a game. Often this game plays into the hands of those who want to exert power dominance over a society. The ultimate question however is much simpler and requires the stripping away of religious ideas and theology. The ultimate question is simply, do we live on a universe that cares for us? Or, even more simply, does our existence have meaning for the universe?

If free will is a faculty of a moral society, can we improve it by becoming more educated about the nature of our brain and behaviors?. I feel like the more we know, the more degrees of freedom we will earn. I like Dan Dennett's example of a rolling rock down a mountain vs a skier going down a mountain, and also the example of a sailboat with and without a sailor. In the case of the sailboat, i see the sailboats maneuverability and the sailors skills, as our thinking tools and our ability to utilize them. And the wind could be the deterministic situations nature puts us in.

If only they knew about Zealandia

Have you listened to Einat Wilf and John Aziz on Robert F Kennedy Jr's Path To Peace audio podcast? Path To Peace - Episode Two: ruclips.net/video/p3qNrAItcpw/видео.htmlsi=NE2ass08jkLSjJ0d Episode One included Yossi Klein Halevi and Professor Mohammed Dajani Daoudi: Path To Peace - Episode One: ruclips.net/video/HwRUfFxHnoE/видео.html

Einat's book "The War of Return" is essential reading for understanding the pal-Israel issue, fantastic book.

He died too soon. An irony would be DD reincarnating and watching a you tube story about a kid saying he was DD.

😂😂😂 Einat Wilf, the Zionist Cruella! Rabbi Michael seems to have a crush on this type of dominatrix as he keeps inviting her over and over again. 😂😂😂

Totally with you. I don’t see how the universe and all the systems within it would cease to function as systems if there was no consciousness to observe it. That’s nonsense. It’s the same kind of make belief that says that fairies exist just because we choose to believe in them.

Einat & Michael, Notice the odd intelligence failures on XVII and IXXI! It's the same Zionist false flag scam. The IXXI nuclear genocide in NYC was designed and executed by Zionist traitors within the US government in collaboration with foreign agents in order to initiate the Middle East Wars for the benefit of the greater Israel Zionist project! We all know the unspoken truth in the USA and the Zionist genocide in Gaza! Shalom, Kilroy NYC

The only way to achieve peace is to frame everything from the perspective of the colonial settlers state and ignore the rights of the native indigenous population to their homeland. It really mimics how "savage" native Americans fought against white colonizers. All the delusional comments I read below the video vindicates what Abby Martin and Norman Finkelstein said about the kind of society and the psychology of the settlers. They eerily resemble Hitler and Nazi Germany.

👏

Maybe your life is impressed into time and when you have the experience of getting back all your memories and language abilities you are outside of time’s seeming linearality and aware of your life as a nugget that is available as a gestalt.

It’s quite incredible that it took this “really smart woman“ with tons of college degrees, intifadas in the early 2000s, and the October 7 holocaust, to realize the simplicity that Mayer Kahana understood in the 1970s and 80s and was yelling from the rooftops but no one would listen. And of course, she won’t even dare quote his name even though she’s quoting him the whole time.

The sheer ignorance here is astonishing to watch...

Quoting Adolf Hitler in an interview, far-right Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin has described Palestinians as “Islamo-Nazis” and called for Gaza to be turned into “Hebrew Gaza.” “We are not guests in our country. It is our country, all of it,” he told Israel’s Channel 12 on Sunday. “However, we figured a way to deal with them (Palestinians) somehow … But they showed that they represent the deepest form of Islamo-Nazism.” Feiglin added, “And like Hitler, may his name be erased, said: ‘I cannot live in this world if there is one Jew left in it’, we could not live in this land if even one such Islamo-Nazi remains in Gaza, and not before we return to Gaza and turn it into Hebrew Gaza.”

If we assert God exist, and interacts with His creation, then free will is implicit as the universe wouldn't be determined, but its asserted that God reacts to His creation depending on how His reaction reacted to Him. Now we might ask, "how does God interact with His creation" far be it from anyone to tell God how He can interact with His creation, but we can speculate that God must either violate the laws of physics in His creation, or uses unknown laws of physics, or maybe He directs apparent random quantum events that lead to improbable miracles. If we assumed the last option, then the nature of reality would not be compatible with Copenhagen pure randomness, while apparent but direrected randomness is compatable if the hand of God was nonlocal hidden variables. What if God and our free will acted on the universe through nonlocal hidden variables? Many worlds does not work well with a universe where God interacts with his creation as anything that can happen will happen on its own world line. Free will in a many world universe makes no sense if a single random quantum event can be the push for two different world lines where you marry your wife or dont and both are true. In their respective worldline.

These reprobates…

She’s great

Abrahamic religions are all framed on a single mono myth. The nature of the verbiage is to control and guide many thousands to millions of desert tribes. Religion dovetails with human tribal nature. Abrahamics by conditioning demonize others by holding themselves mentally as chosen. They are not intelligent. Just judgmental.

Humanity finds itself trapped in a relentless cycle governed by a malefic system. How can we get out of it? Even during the Reagan era, nuclear disarmament was not fully achieved, and there were still enough nuclear weapons remaining to potentially devastate the planet. It will happen probably by mistake, if we dont dissapear due to climate change before. It sounds like the Apocalypse of John. Einstein, Nostradamus, the Bible, it is written everywhere. Thanks Annie for explaning the details so well concerning the nuclear side of all this. there is many things i did not know. I need to move in a targeted city with a dooms day chair ASAP.

Nice conversation. However, my uncommon view as an Israeli is that i’m not convinced that it’s moral for Israel to never allow people whose ancestors have been on this land for generations to never return. I get that a majority-Jewish state feels like an existential matter, but I still have a hard time with this idea. It just seems morally wrong to me. The way i see it, all Jews and arabs with familial ties to the land should both have a right to live anywhere between the river and the sea.

You have proved that you are a Jewish, you have a very big brain. I love you so much.

So another words. Lemuria is like a semi not unreal non peer reviewed Jurrasic Park hypothesis? Facinating. This really improves my understanding of all things not relavant. Cool story bro!

Lemuria? Skeptics coming up with conspiracy theories now to keep thier philosophy relevant? What's next? The Freemasons and the KKK conspired with the CIA to take out JFK?

Too many segments where he describes a photo but does not show it.

Why is this woman so breathlessly, pleased with herself?

SCU??? This is pseudoscience! Period. Just look whom they chose for their opening presentation keynote speaker… Ross Coultlhart 😆😋😝
