Actually…the Hitler examinations are so meaningful precisely BECAUSE they resonate so closely with so many strains of authority, governance, mass influence and the role of mass fear-mongering in the world we live in. Even in the realm of what might be called the aesthetics of power and the fetishization of military hegemony, the example of Nazi Germany holds a compelling mirror up to contemporary society.

Excellent.

I think this whole notion of it would be so easy to stop Hitler from coming to power is untrue. If not him it would have been someone else. Germany was thirsting for war

Two irrelevant old White guys...history will sweep these cucks away! #MGGA #AfD

He said he was black and then stole the election.

Inventive indeed

Elizabeth, you go girl! Bravo!

Tell a big lie and keep repeating it?! As if this didn't happen long before '33 and long after. Good grief, get a grip of yourselves. Mr Ryback, you should have heeded your editor's wise caution for this talk. I'm old enough to have witnessed several iterations of this 'boy who cried wolf' gambit since the '80s, though it was being played out in Europe in the late '60s and '70s. The most recent iteration of the smear cast at Meloni. Before her it was Orban and Morawiecki. Have the parallels intersected? Not at all. This villager isn't running to the hill to aid the shepherd anymore.

Let's consider the prospect that it's virtually impossible to whip up discontent in an environment where the general population is substantially satisfied with the status quo. Listening to this discussion, it's understandable why even centuries ago the framers of the US constitution opted to establish a republic of "checks & balances" rather than a democracy. The elite in comfortable control often have a visceral apprehension of the 'unwashed masses', the hoi polloi, the mob. Yet rarely do we these days concede that the alternative to the dreaded populism is elitism (a mindset which is in conspicuous full dudgeon amongst the assemblage, actual & virtual, collected here at 10 Rue du Général Camou, Paris, France). I live in a nation whose one remaining distinguishable national trait is obsequious smugness. I recognise the sympathies in the room. But could it be that decades of benevolent institutional capture by a self-satisfied, virtuous elite of intellectuals has actually aggravated economic disparity and undermined social cohesion? So, I would have us consider one inconvenient truth: perhaps "populism" is just a dirty word for "democracy".

The writer speaks too hurriedly, and the end result is that the entire presentation becomes quite flat and unimpressive. She indeed does little or no justice to the immaculate quality of, and the innate rhythm contained in this attractive piece of work by Mary McCarthy - a book I have found fascinating enough to merit several and thoroughly enjoyable re-reads.

Wundervar❤

Where we could reach this PowerPoint? Could we download it?

'Swann's Way' doesn't necessarily suggest the 'higher road to wisdom.' It can also mean the way that Swan took (the wrong way) or the road near Swann's place. 'The Way by Swann's' is certainly clunky and almost unintelligible and Proust surely would have hated it. The translation by Lydia Davis is truly awful, having extracted all the euphonious poetry from the original text, so let's stop kidding ourselves about that. Certainly 'Remembrance of Things Past' is wrong.

god, it's profoundly difficult to hear someone like adam phillips talk about covid as if it's over. it is still a mass disabling event, people are still dying at alarming rates, & the data on the harms of unmitigated transmission & reinfections is coming fast & hard.

Poor de Botton catching so many strays here

Excellent insight into the high-tech monkey behavior

i just love this interviewer

Couldn't get the sound right, huh?

Thank you and thankyou.

Belated Condolences on passing of Robert Fisk aged only 74 four years ago in 2020 Neither Wiki nor Irish TV Announcement give cause of death at only 74 in Dublin Alain Delon recent passing at 88 last month and my own mother is 96 You paid a very moving tribute that brought tears to my eyes

I'm starting a Master in Material and Visual Culture at UCL London and How Forests Think is the first awakening surprise book I read! Congrats to you both, such a great conversation about the book.

The guy was a national treasure. A true one of a kind.

Salinger is a classic case of a narcissist and Maynard was his narcissitic supply and emotional co-dependant. He did all the classic narc moves, like love-bombing Maynard in the beginning, mirroring her to make her think they were two sides of the same coin, isolating her from her friends and family, building her up and then tearing her down in order to cause a trauma bond between them, the way he took up free real estate in her mind for decades, and then the final discard. Whatta guy.

hell yeah for having good audio+video people!

Thank you! A very enrichening conversation

LONG LIVE ROSA PARKS✊🏿

What a great discussion! I learned so much

Why does a global intelligence seem to know so little about those LINKs offering a compilation of some 1000 !! essential arguments in 100 Videos for MARLOWE? www.youtube.com/@bastianconrad2550/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=1

What is the favorite candidate of Elisabeth? My latest reflections ( as a Marlowian) ruclips.net/video/l4dmC98xrL8/видео.htmlsi=k1vaN0m9F-pbEEVK

No, there is plenty of evidence that Shakespeare was a vital and active member of The Lord Chamberlain’s Men and, later, The King’s Men. I wish pointless presentations like this didn’t pop up in my Shakespeare searches.

excellent talk. Elizabeth Winkler is witty and informative!

CEO of Evil Corp talking about Retrograde Ejaculation... what alternate timeline did I stumble into? Did Whiterose's project work? 😅

I love him so much 😭 his work with lispector has changed my life

This was such a lovely talk, thank you for sharing

I have just finished this book,and really enjoyed it. Very well written: honest, revealing and informative.well done mr Chisholm.

Eloquent and listenable, for those of you wishing to work on diction, this is a good specimen!

its quite funny to plot the arc of Sciolino's abrasive attempts at camaraderie by making all these sarcastic jokes which fall flat and watch Schiff get more and more annoyed and curt with each one

Quite useless and poor use of our attention resources...unless you came after reading the boom it makes little sense and the title and description is terribly misleading

thanks. i needed to hear this.

Fantastic! I was also a part of a Society of the Birds in my own right and we were and are indeed a little skittish when you stare at us directly. I'm off to grab as many copies of this as I can afford to distribute to the group. Our current concerns are that of survival in the barest sense as we are all atomized by Capital. I was delighted by the fracking analogy put forth here. It is exactly what has been on our collective minds. We are also wrestling on how to maneuver in what might become a post labor economy into the attention economy without contributing to the Attention problem ourselves. This book should be an excellent meditation. Cheers!

Quite confusing presentation for a general audience who has not read the book

Ah, this is wonderful. Thank you both. Great Q&A at the end too. I could listen to Patricia forever. (Which incidentally reminds me to subscribe to the LRB!)

So what does the ending “tion” literally mean?

Such an important conversation--thank you. And such an important and highly readable book Linda Hervieux has written.

Fabulous Raymond, well said 👌👌

Outstanding!!!!!!
