You ask the right questions but what are the answers?

Can not help drawing comparison of Zionism as a philosophy , manifesting currently in a form of claimed high ground , created by an ongoing conflict in the middle east.

thank you for uploading this. i’ve done no formal study in this discipline

Maybe the trick is caused by this, to look into space is to look into the past. So to look out there at something far away, that may no longer even be there, and obviously even if its still there, its not where it looks like it is given it took light so long to get here. And should we throw in the concept that what we are looking at is within another spinning solar system. If you pin a star on the edge of a wheel and spin it. You will see it looks like its coming toward you on one half of the wheels rotation and on the other half it looks like its moving away. Not counting our solar system is also spinning. So maybe its really a case of things are moving about out there but their direction is not always the same over time.

We should make space for all personal practices that don't impede on others.

That's just it. The universe is not expanding. It never had a beginning either. Not one that we've tried to explain. The problem really is man's fault. At the core for all of this is man's ego. There are somethings that man will never be able to understand and the Universe is one of them. Now I'm not a theologist or some spiritual person trying to spin a mystical story around this. I'm an atheist and duly believe that the Universe is forever. Neither do I believe in the big bang theory too. Ask any cosmologist if the big bang theory happened to pin point where. They can't and they won't.

I seem to be towards the romantic type who always loved Christmas and Valentine's Day (although we celebrate both a bit differently here in Japan, and my wife and I don't treat it like such a commercial Holiday -- I'm also atheist and just enjoy these in terms of cultural traditions and rituals and the odd type who would be as happy to celebrate Hanukkah as Christmas). I can definitely understand the argument that we should behave like this every day. Unfortunately I just don't. I'm not a well-balanced type of person. I get swept up in my work and other interests and almost to the point where I forget everything else that exists when I'm in the zone. So I tend to benefit from being snapped out of the zone repeatedly due to anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's, Christmas, New Year's, etc., and remember that the whole reason I'm working is to support my family who are most valuable to me. I must admit that I'm rather allergic to people who absolutely loathe and complain about any Holiday. I should work on looking more open-mindedly and favorably towards them, and if they were indeed the types of people who never took their loved ones for granted, then they would become my role models. Yet in my experience, most I encounter aren't the types to cherish their loved ones on a daily basis but the types who never do so at all, and tend to veer towards very nihilistic outlooks. I am at least thoroughly allergic to those since I find nihilism to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I suppose I do neither.

In Canada for the holiday, they handed out 200$ to everyone except those at the poorest echelon of society and cut sales taxes on things like alcohol. They said it was to rectify the vibe cession and help those that needed it. I find the whole thing disheartening.

Quantum Cyclic Cosmology A homeostatic universe maintained by the reciprocal processes of electron capture and neutron infall at event horizons and free neutron emergence and decay in deep voids. Neutrons in at event horizons. Drop off their kinetic energy as mass for event horizon Take EinsteinRosen bridge from highest energy pressure conditions to lowest energy density point of space where the quantum basement is lowest and easiest to penetrate. Neutron out in deep void, soon decays into amorphous monatomic hydrogen, proton electron soup, Dark matter in a Rydberg state. In time this amorphous hydrogen stabilizes and coalesces and falls towards an event horizon. Loop

Coming back to this video one other thing I want to point out is how it's easier than people think for religious dogma to spread and embed itself in empirical and theoretical sciences. We all know the Big Bang was originally created from a Christian background so elements of the creation myth are in there, but there's something else too that a lot of people don't mention that I would like to mention. A lot of the young cultural and economic elite in the 1960s-1970s often went on long trips doing LSD around places like India and Tibet and would end up creating the New Age movement as a result which influenced others from high socioeconomic class to go on such "spiritual journeys" (i.e. doing drugs in a highly religious foreign society ) as well, absorbing that culture and religious bias. They would then go on to form the STEM industry and become the bulk of today's STEM elite. A lot of the "great" science fiction authors, silicon valley venture capitalists, and top physicists of the past 40 years were heavily influenced by the New Age movement and the religious beliefs of eastern cultures. On top of this they were building on top of a very Christian foundation. Because of this you get what is basically a Christian creation myth combined with Buddhist and Hindu notions of cosmology like multiverses and whatnot. You also see a lot of these religious influences in Big Tech with posthumanists like Ray Kruzweil and longtermists like Elon Musk talking about the "singulairty" (like the Christian rapture), "ascension" (Christian and Eastern influences), and even adopting beliefs like the "simulation" (Eastern influences). Also a lot of influential science fiction has been filled with such New Age religious imagery as well in one way or another. I don't think they mean to spread woo on purpose, but it simply has become a cultural aspect of the "high society behind closed gates" class and regardless of whether it's intentional or not such unempirical biases do spread to people coming into the fields. Truth is no view is 100% materialistic or empirical, religious biases abound everywhere, including cosmology (*especially* cosmology) because "we don't know" is not a satisfactory answer for the human mind. Even Einstein was influenced by his Jewish background's belief in predestination, hence why he initially rejected Quantum Mechanics.

You do know that Kant hated being called an idealist and he renegated until the end being an idealist??

Does the following YT link not seem like possibly the worst possible faith based scenario ever ? 🤪 _Former Space Security Chief Claims Aliens Exist, And Trump Knows | NBC News NOW_

The red shift is an illusion caused by our view from the KBC void. The gravitational pull from surrounding denser areas could cause a stretching of light waves.

There is another contradiction that the Universe is expanding theory that doesn't sit right with me as well: They say, that they can tell that the Universe is expanding, because in every direction, the other galaxies are moving away from us. But then they say, that our Local group of Galaxies, and our Cluster of galaxies are moving toward The Great Attractor. So...all galaxies in every direction are not moving away from us?!?

Everyone should watch Dr. Jason Lisle videos and articles on this. The math according to the James Webb actually supports it is not expanding

Bravo. More on this subject, please!

What gets me about the persistence of the expanding universe theory is that we've always heard how the Hubble Constant has been a constant problem in physics for the past 20-30 years and if the Hubble Constant is really that much of a problem wouldn't that indicate our whole model is wrong and we need that we need to look into a new model not built around said Constant? We know there is something wrong with the theory but we keep trying to add hack solutions to "fix" it instead of considering it may be time for a new theory. A few possibilities I can think of is that the universe isn't expanding uniformly, but rather it fluctuates in a way it expands and contracts in different regions at different times and we're currently in a positive fluctuation. It could also be possible that the universe really has no "beginning" or "end", but rather the idea of the universe beginning at a dense point and eventually ending with the "heat death" is a construct of the human mind's limitations and desire for having a start and end point. It's also possible relativity plays tricks on distant observations giving us a warped image meaning the current age of the universe isn't what we currently think. But other than the Hubble Constant other things wrong with the current paradigm is the fact we've detected galaxies that are older than the estimated age of the universe itself and a lot of the distant galaxies shouldn't be visible given the speed of light. There's also the fact we haven't detected any Population III stars (ultra massive and completely lacking in heavier elements) the detection of which is crucial for the theory of the universe only being 13 billion years old. I can't say I am an expert or "know" anything, but I have always felt it was a very real possibility the universe is actually much older than what we currently think and our current cosmological model is incorrect. Of course that leads to issues an older, longer-lived universe implies like with the Fermi Paradox and other things but that seems like an easier conversation to have than physicists coming up with zany ideas we have zero evidence for like "multiverses" and string theory to patch up holes in their theories (doesn't make sense? Just slap another universe/multiverse/dimension on it and call it a day).

GUD GOOD

Is there any current movements that strive to complete the german idealism?

I seldom listen to podcasts because like you imply they are mostly guys trying to be shocking. Don't ever lower yourself to appear on Rogan or those others.

I agree with your assessment. However, I would also argue that the producers of the show (knowing full well that this show is a long and arduous journey that may not produce any results any time soon) will plant “Roman coins” or fake carvings in order to keep viewers interested and invested in the show so they can keep producing episodes for monetary reasons. I don’t have any evidence that this has happened but I would not be surprised either. I believe this is why some viewers are calling this show fake to an extent.

I've had similar doubts, and indeed that's how I found this video. Dark matter is a misconception, too. If there were any significant amount of dark matter, it would cause unusual gravitational lensing, but that is not observed.

Anyone else ready to get past the talking-head sound bites and getting to a dialogue and work toward real solutions?

Ironically, the zionists are doing the same thing in Israel. I wonder what she would think of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

What if it's just consequence of miniaturisation proces (matter evolution) because of impact by galactic central black holes... that could explain star collaps or why dinosaurs were much bigger than today animals;)

Surely, the answer is that Trump provides simple, emotionally satisfying answers. Why did the Germans support Hitler? Same reason.

Just like finding Bigfoot if they don’t find something soon, I’m bailing.

Well put. Your insights are appreciated. I read the whole thing! 😀

Why aren't more people identifying as MIXED race? If History matters, why do we see so many examples of "folks" preferring to choose one over the other? The term POC was not used once in this lecture. How does this term help to alleviate the false dichotomy of "pure" vs "others"

This is also why the right hade trans and especially nonbinary people. We make the nice neat distinction between strong powerful in charge men and soft weak submissive women break down on a foundational level. They have to slot people into neat little boxes in order to know how to control them. And those of us who inconsiderately move between boxes or insist on existing in multiple boxes at once cant be tolerated

Example: the U.S. 2024 election

I hope you'll forgive my two cents, but I don't see this as a somewhat neutral party from Japan and unable to vote on these presidential candidates. Trump just strikes me as someone very nationalist, unfiltered, crude, and humorous, and hardly racist. I'm not a fan as I don't see his personality well-suited for diplomacy or leadership, but the criticisms of Trump seem largely unfair. For example, the backlash against the joke about Puerto Rico being a floating island of garbage was neither delivered nor endorsed by Trump as far as I can tell. It was delivered by an edgy insult comic and -- while no doubt in poor taste for a presidential rally -- it's hardly a strong indicator of Trump's views (especially when he was quick to denounce such accusations). And the joke has an environmental basis that has nothing to do with Puerto Ricans given that Puerto Rico has a serious waste disposal problem with overfilled landfills (they should adopt incineration plants in my estimate as we do here in Japan; we burn the majority of our garbage and only deposit ~10% of it into landfills given our scarcity of land). For the NABJ conference, he got so much flak for using the term, "black jobs". Yet we're talking about a former president who elected the first black American (Ben Carson) as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and it should be clear by "black jobs" that he was using a shorthand referring to declining black LFPR (labor force participation rates) as referenced by BLS without referring to the nature of the type of job. Have we lost our ability to practically infer a speaker's intentions and now require the most unambiguous language which can withstand a sound byte without any possibility of being taken out of context? I'm hopeless if so as I'm constantly second-guessing myself in this regard and have become increasingly long-winded as a result, hoping more words will clarify my intentions out of fear that fewer will result in misunderstandings. I lack deep personal investment into this presidential election, but there is a side for which I'm deeply invested in that I've also found myself outcast and labeled the widest range of horrible things by American progressives: "fascist", "alt-right", "right-winger", "incel" (I'm married), "homophobe", "transphobe", "racist", "sexist", "misogynist", "cuckservative", you name it -- simply for sharing opinions I have online such as how I find it impractical to allow transwomen who haven't even gone through HRT and sex reassignment surgery to enter women's sports and women's prisons. So I'm starting to empathize with Trump and even admire his character to some degree, since he seems far less agreeable than I am, thicker-skinned, and can roll with the punches. I tend to get into a defensive and apologetic mode which I've found to serve me poorly in the presence of progressive bullies who seem more interested in assuming my intentions rather than allowing me to clarify them. Also with English as my second language, I have difficulty navigating what is and isn't offensive in today's hyper-sensitive environment despite my attempts to be tactful (Trump definitely isn't very tactful and doesn't intend to be). For example, I received a lot of criticism for publicly using the word, "retard", but that was a word widely used when I was growing up and something I encountered in a lot of the literature I read. I apologized below the social media post I made, but my post was buried under so many comments criticizing me for using the word (and using insults clearly with malintent while I used the word humorously to tease someone who wasn't even mentally disabled), and I doubt most people even noticed or cared about my attempts to smooth things out. There is an impracticality I see in communication -- especially on a global scale and across so many different cultures and personalities -- if we assume speakers always use exactly the right, politically-correct words even among those of us who try our best to do so. As our ability to communicate with the most diverse crowds and on the largest scale grows, it seems necessary to me for people to be more reluctant to assume the intentions of the speaker, not more eager to assume as with the case of "microaggressions". Here in Japan, we have the most restricted forms of free speech among the G7 countries, but that isn't a practical problem here since all of us here in Japan know and agree upon what speech is and isn't offensive (and this hasn't changed much in decades) given the homogeneous nature of our population. Yet it seems to immediately become impractical when we're expected to know what is and isn't offensive to all people across the world on a global scale, or even within a nation as diverse as the US.

Once again, Dr. Giles, you pull back the BS curtain and get to the heart of the realities of our warped society. Kudoes!

This is a cracking introduction to a still very modern philosopher of relevance. I've been playing with the idea that western political philosophy is the about the point on the scale where one thinks it appropriate to plant one's flag between individualism and collectivism. Arendt makes such a political psychological dilemma patently obvious. Finding the right point on that scale defines our political values. In her study of Totalitarianism and The Banality of Evil, it becomes very clear how easy it is to manipulate what we would hope would be our otherwise closely guarded humanitarian values and ability to critically reason. Do not administrate a holocaust - it's evil. Such safeguards once abandoned and manipulated allows the Adolph Eichmann's of this world to hide behind the pretence of the 'innocence' of 'I was only obeying orders'.

Lest people have forgotten about this issue because it isn't just Puerto Ricans whom Trumpers see as racially inferior.

Thank you for introducing me to this fascinating thinker.

RUclips is suppressing upvotes for you.

Cheers! Very interesting analysis and I can't think of reasonable objections to it. Unfortunately, probably few Trump voters are able to understand it....

Check out my VSL theory that all redshift is gravitational redshift. Basically if you assume no expansion and all redshift is from gravity then you get a variable speed of light, space time doesn’t warp, light bends because it travels different speeds in different gravitational fields, ie mediums. Great video, I made a top 5 reasons why the universe is not expanding and didn’t think of this one which is fantastic. Incidentally it was my least watched video and everyone thinks I’m crazy. We will know soon enough with AI

Well said! It is amazing the expanding universe is so hard wired into everyone’s brains

thanks for the video. I feel more prepared to handle the inevitable gaslighting and backlash i will get regarding this.

Too much religion, dogma

I watched the whole election night and there were a clear trend toward Trump. Suddenly - very late - Biden got several "portions" of 50.000 and 100.000 votes from "letter voters" in strategical states, to me it looked very suspicious.

Preach!

No sensationalism catering to drive-by scrollers. Just some sober, intelligent analysis diving into the real issues and real insights into how we can fight the right wing.

Isaiah Berlin's two types of liberty. One of the best things I read in college.

How do i apply for a freedom permit and what does it allow me to do? Asking for a fren. In minecraft.

I'm very happy that you pointed this out! I'm also a fan of Stoicism in its ancient form and particularly in the way in terms of its overlap with Buddhist ideas which are popular here in Japan. Yet I'm very annoyed about these "manosphere" types hijacking it, misinterpreting it, and also associating it so much with a very one-dimensional concept of masculinity that has almost nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with what's fashionable among frat boy types.
