Mike Jay on Sigmund Freud, William James and Robert Louis Stevenson in 1885
In this episode the cultural historian Mike Jay takes Peter back to the high Victorian Age to see how a pioneering group of scholars and artists experimented with mind altering drugs.
Jay labels these characters 'psychonauts'. These were daring, romantic figures like Sigmund Freud who championed cocaine as a stimulant, and William James whose experiments with nitrous oxide brought new insights into human consciousness.
Others at this time used drugs more informally. One such person was Robert Louis Stevenson. Suffering from poor health in the mid-1880s he took advantage of the powerful drugs that were easily accessible. A result of this, Jay explains, is Dr Jeykill and Mr Hyde, one of the g...

Interview with Lucy Wooding on Tudor England in 1558
Просмотров 880Год назад
This recording was made shortly after Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022. And having watched the second Elizabethan era draw to a close, it was a fitting time to go back to the beginning of the first Elizabethan era - the moment when Mary Tudor died leaving the throne to her younger half-sister. These two queens, the first women to rule England in their own right, were divided by their faith. T...

Interview with Simon Akam on the British Army and The Changing of the Guard
Просмотров 393Год назад
The British Army can trace its origins back to the Acts of Union of 1707 and its rich history involves conflicts both large and small in all corners of the globe. But as the twenty-first century dawned, the organisation found itself in a transitional phase and with something of an identity crisis. What exactly was its culture? What, with its resources, could it really be expected to achieve? Wh...

Vicious little Tin pot totalitarian
Emperor.
I am a historian. Why does Greenblat lie about there being no Jews in England at the time? Why does the hostess not call him out? There were converso from Portugal and Spain. Dr. Rodrigo Lopez, Dunstan Anes (father in law of Lopez and royal Purveyor of spices and groceries and Dr. Hector Nunez to name a few. All of them, by marriage, connected to the Benveniste Mendes Nasi banker/merchant network in Antwerp and Ottoman empire thru advisors. Lopez chose the name "merchant" as his codename for Walsingham! Marlow wrote Faustus, then Malta then Paris...he connected Catherine de Medici to the Mendes group (read lots of $, merchants, astrologers, doctors, lawyers, and a vast global spy network). That's what got him killed. The Converso network had him killed. Greenblat is out and out lying. Lopez is now touted proudly as a crypto jew. Look him up online. All sorts of sites are very proud of him and defending him calling it antisemitism. They can't have it both ways. Reckoning is accurate. The retribution of Christians for the inquisition. Pound of flesh...
I clicked out after the drift into Trump and January 6th. It's a shame because I'm very interested in the history of the Roman Republic. In fact, I became slightly angry until I noticed that this video was made a year ago. Now, in December 2024, I just smiled.
The guillotine wasn't used against 'enemies of the people' - it was used against wholly innocent folk whom delusional extremists like Robespierre and his henchmen decided were in the way of their bizarre, Rousseau-inspired experiment in 'recreating' man.
It's hard to believe I'm the first complimenting the channel on how brilliant this podcast is.
❤❤
No. Stop it. We have channels for audio podcasts. In effect, you are vandals. So sorry how me and mind wasted so many years creating social media, only for you to turn it into pig shit.
How did someone so inarticulate, and with such a poor command of English, become a journalist? The entry standards must be low indeed. Akram repeats the empty phrase "You know" so often that it's both distracting and annoying He also interrupts himself while making a point and doesn't finish his sentences. As for the interviewer, they barely questioned him and their questions were journalistic clichés. This was painful to listen to. 👎
Jamaican should be treated with utmost respect 🙏 God has overthrown all European pirates British, Dutch, france,Spanish. To give these black people freedom and also multiple there seeds to become more majority? This is was God works for his chosen people yet these Pharoah mind set will not let the people. Wow
Are you free? Really think about it. You are only free by word of mouth. Do the research and find out for yourself.
Where's Alfred?
Smell of a soldier’s feet. Mycota.
I have a signed copy of this book.
Loved this show. And It's the first time I've seen a spectrograph of the speaker's voice. Really cool watching Helen's voice bounce around. She's very expressive. Nice to visualize it. 👍
PSYCHOPATH AND SOCIOPATH TO THE CORE
Wow! This was fantastic. Thank you so much🎉
Brilliant interview. Thanks
African Women are the best!
Cool
Interesting how she tries to use Viking presence more than a thousand years ago as an excuse for mass immigration now and Michael cuts her short with facts. We are English. We have been so for a long, long time.
Thank you so much! What an undertaking!! Fantastic interview🎉
Thank you! A very interesting analysis and example.
It seems like you didn’t even read this book. It makes clear what a tragedy and horror Christianity really was for Europeans. It’s sad to think about what could’ve been without the spread of that lunatic JUDAIC mind virus. They didn’t just destroy temples and libraries in the East, they did it all over. They chopped down sacred groves all throughout Western and Northern Europe, Uk, Ireland. They were the ancient world’s Bolshevik terrorists
Another brilliant offering- thank you so much, Violet. Warm regards from The Antipodes, Andy🎉
Yay! I absolutely amazed at this episode- what a nice surprise. Many thanks from The Antipodes, Andy🎉
Another fascinating podcast. Thank you from The Antipodes 🎉
Thank you for this discussion. I now better understand why I've developed a fascination for this brilliant military leader. Good to know I'm justified in this recent interest.
Podcast
He couldn’t laugh at himself? Took himself very seriously? Oh dear - big red flag in a person’s character - those who have no sense of humour about themselves (or anything else most likely) can, in my opinion, become dangerous to others - as in fanatical.
We are talking about a man who declared himself the "supreme being" during the final year of the terror.
There's interviews are amazing. Idk how I'm just finding this channel.
Slim should have been prosecuted for child abuse.
Thank you, Violet - such a great quality podcast🎉
Also this guy has no idea if/when/or how the Triumph Route changed
Few of us do. Do tell.
This is an elementary account of a very philosophically deep era. This disappointingly skims the surface. A dull stone skipped three or four times on a bottomless lake.
What a fantastic podcast- thank you🎉
Brilliant! Thank you🎉
Two thoughts from a potter - 1)Archeologists are like potters in that their sense of time covers eons. Archeologists hold a pot, or it's sherds, and feel a connection to someone from the past. Potters make a pot and feel a connection to someone from the future. And 2) I wonder if the etymology of the name Skara Brae only goes back to a description of a mound (the settlement already in ruins for a tremendously long time) because a new population supplanted the old suddenly and completely. There must have been no one around who knew the place by a name when the new people came in, and called it a mound. At any rate, thanks for this thought provoking video.
Disappointing! For someone who's noted for research to fall for a DNC talking point! The only individuals that were armed were cops and the only person to die was an unarmed Air Force Veteran... unnecessarily so! DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Visiting here on my way down the Eminem...Eminiem...Eemian rabbit hole.
Shameful that there are so few views. I will make sure I share this interview.
They were better off on the black streets of London than the working class areas of 21 st century America
Great author, and very relevant today. The current situation in Russia is very similar. And the US is at the brink of a collapse... The UK is hopefully on the mend.
i only wish you would've shown the art
Love hearing all the details about Caesar
Interesting thank you.
751 views in one year ..?!? Sums up the state of British intellectual life in 2024 . There really is no hope for Classic Western Culture. Perhaps it DOESN'T deserve to live..? ?
Space cadets all of them !!!
I’m surprised he doesn’t mention the most commonly known explanation of the succession policy of the Ottomans, that Sultan Bayezid’s wife was captured by Timur (Tamerlane), after which many Sultans vowed not to marry and have legitimate wives at all to avoid possible humiliation.
Democracy through terror.
Oh, the bit about that document. Amazing.
why only 56 affirmations ???
