Ian, I can discern by your presentation that you are a thinking man-an intellectual, but someone who is easy to understand. That's good! There's nothing more weary than to listen to a person who relishes in his erudition. By the way, brother, you have an impressive library!
Thank you very much. I do hope some of what I have said has been of some interest and has made some sense. It's kind of you to write. Ahhh yes I do love books and buying books!
Hi Ian. I noticed that you have a few recent posts on your Spotify channel that aren’t on RUclips. Will Spotify be the main “platform” you’re thinking of posting to or will they eventually be uploaded to YT also?
Thank you for your question! No that isn't really my intention. I hope to double them up. However there are some things which I don't feel justify a video but which are easy to do for Spotify as I can just read them out. Like the short Kissinger review. So if I can get my act together there may be some more random things I will do as podcasts as they are easier to do. But overall my aim is to combine them for most talks I do.
I imagine that as labor became more expensive in England, the push towards acquiring colonies and slaves grew. If so, another downside of the Industrial Revolution-aside from the aspect of global warming-was that it encouraged colonization and the slave trade and, therefore, increased the abuse of people of third-world countries. Would you agree?
@@abc_13579 I wouldn't really agree with that. The colonies werent used as a source of cheap manufacturing labour and the slave trade predated the industrial revolution and the slaves were used to cultivate goods like tobacco, cotton, and sugar cane which couldn't be grown in England anyway. Moves to manufacture goods in the empire occurred much later and weren't very systematic. That was more of a 20th century phenomenon
@@abc_13579 thank you! I should add that the industrial revolution was linked to colonization in some ways of course - but it was more about access to markets and resources than labour. One of the arguments against UK colonisation is that it didn't industrialise the countries it occupied.
Sr. San Giovanni, excellent as always

Where did you get your pipe from?
That's a savinelli pipe. A gift.
