      It's my understanding that the anti-semitism problem in europe and the Islamist terrorist problem are essentially the same thing. I don't think it's a coincidence that France is both the most anti-Semitic country in Europe and has the highest Muslim population. All across Europe, Islam has been increasing in popularity, to the detriment of the Jews.

      It's because Fran the Troll keeps interrupting him so she can stay in the spotlight. He has more patience than I ever could... I would've at least confronted her and asked her not to interrupt. "Excuse me, I have the floor..." type of thing.

      ubuu7 Huh. Nowhere there did I say I was annoyed at her for dissing the south. Did you hurt yourself jumping to conclusions? I got annoyed because she kept having to get the last word in every time Bill Nye (or anyone else on the panel) answered a question. I take back putting Rob Reiner in there because there were a bunch of times she talked over him too. I still really like her, but that was kind of super annoying.

      Wendy Willason I have to agree with you. Plus, she dissed Truman Capote's intelligence. He probably wasn't clever in the same way that she is, but there's more than one form of intelligence. But, I didn't really hear her saying anything too brilliant, besides suggesting that physical attractiveness and intelligence aren't necessarily diametrically opposed. Mostly, it just looked like she was trying to put others on the defensive, by being arrogant, and by being the first to call other people stupid. Pretty lame performance, but she's getting up there.

    Bill, you raised a good question; if you live in Beijing and you can’t breathe the air, wouldn’t you want to make a change? Maybe a small part of the problem is that people like your guests Fran Leibowitz and Rob Reiner (who I love) are not willing to take seriously a brilliant guy and climate scientist like Bill Nye?

    • @squidcaps4308
      @squidcaps4308 9 лет назад +5

      Bill Nye is not climate scientist. He is mechanical engineer. That doesn't mean he doesn't know what he is talking about, he is scientifically literate and can interpret what climate scientist have written.

    • @johnnylotito

      SquidCaps All he does all day long is research, travel, talks to real scientist, and acts as a translator to the public. I think you are making the critical mistake in assuming that 'because you haven't been educated in a university, you cannot possibly pick up the same books being used an teach yourself. And again, he is discussing these things with top scientist all the time.

    I think what Elahe Izadi is saying is that, at one point in time there used to be a "job" for everyone. For example, cobbler,printer,outfitter,lumber yard, general store....now its not the same way. I think that is a result of over-saturation of technology too rapidly, and lack of education that develops a more guided path leading towards a particular career field of some kind.

    @Strand0410 9 лет назад +33

    I love the show but the last couple episodes of have left a bad taste in my mouth. His vaccination episode was completely misguided. With this one, he went on a rant against streaming music. Bill, the reason songwriters are being screwed isn't Spotify. If you look at their financials, Spotify spends 75% of their revenue reimbursing labels and the rest to grow the company, their margins are measly. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of songwriters and artists don't have the leverage of Taylor Swift, and are bullied by studios into disadvantageous and poor-paying contracts.

    • @annlanders978
      @annlanders978 9 лет назад +4

      Taylor Swift has got to be the most overrated "artist" ever. The fact that she is so popular shows you how bad things are. She has an average singing voice, she cannot dance at all and most of her music sounds the same and most of it is stupid. Also she has never been in a relationship but that is all she sings about. And now I have noticed she is getting a big head.

    • @AWSVids
      @AWSVids 9 лет назад +2

      I found myself disagreeing quite a bit with Bill and Aloe in that interview. I've always been a big advocate of being open about intellectual property. Sure, there are some downsides to losing "control" of your "product", but there are usually a lot of upsides as well. More people hear your music (or see your film or whatever it may be), more word of mouth and it often leads to higher sales than the artist would have had otherwise. The only reason it LOOKS like they're making less than they would have otherwise is because they're looking at the situation through the prism of "What if all those free plays had been sales?"... Well, sure, then sales would be significantly higher. But the illogic there is that those free plays aren't necessarily lost sales... those people playing it for free wouldn't have necessarily gone out and bought the album if they couldn't listen to it for free... they just wouldn't listen to it. I used to download a LOT of music and I still download movies a lot... If I couldn't download them, I wouldn't be going out and paying for them instead. I just wouldn't be seeing as many movies.
      And a standard response to that is to point to past sales, before the internet, and say they're higher than sales today. Yeah, because that was BEFORE THE INTERNET. People didn't have as many entertainment options, so they relied just on movies, tv and music. Sales of every type of pre-internet media is down compared to before, the same way that VHS sales plummeted when DVD came out. Because it's been replaced by something better.
      For music artists to shy away from streaming is like a filmmaker who refuses to put his movies on DVD or Blu-Ray, because they grew up with VHS and stubbornly insist that VHS sales are the only barometer of success. In other words, the world has changed and the music industry can't hold onto record sales as being the only barometer of success, because it isn't anymore. They need to find ways to monetize streaming more effectively... not just avoid streaming.
      And just like it's always been, musicians still make most of their income from live performances and other avenues. It's easy to point to artists only making "$2700" from streaming and say they deserve more than that... but throw in the money they're making from touring, the millions they can make from merchandising and licensing deals (Jay-Z built an empire of a brand... he's not a multi-millionaire just because of his music), press appearances (how much do you think Aloe got paid for his appearance on this show so that he can talk about how he's not making enough money?)... suddenly, these poor destitute musicians don't look so bad off. And if streaming makes your music more popular, then these avenues only become more lucrative.
      The whole interview just felt very money-grubby to me. Aloe's sitting there, a millionaire in really nice dress, on a mass-media stage with a fellow millionaire... complaining that he's not making enough money. He seems to care more about keeping every possible penny he can than people hearing his "product". Yeah, it just REALLY rubbed me the wrong way.

      @AncientAstronaut952 9 лет назад +3

      Totally agree with you! Maher is right on most issues, but there are some issues where it's obvious that he's getting too old. His is so wrong on vaccinations and technology that he ironically sounds like a conservative. Bill Nye, as he always is, was on the right side of this debate. Technology is fantastic; it's enhancing our lives! Sure, there are drawbacks, but that's what laws are for. We as humans can figure out how to mitigate the drawbacks.

    @AvangionQ 9 лет назад +4

    @ 4:10 When Bill Maher asked about gatekeepers, I think back to before the proliferation of the Internet, when there were only a handful of TV stations, magazines and newspapers doing the news, or an equally small number of music and movie publishing organizations, and everyone got their media from them. Now, anyone can create media content and distribute it, though while their market share is significantly diminished, the system has been democratized and thus vastly improved.

Plus she's a New Yorker--I lived there for decades, some of the same ones she did, and they every once in a while vote to secede (from the union). So, there's that...

      ***** "anti-technology sentiment"
      this is starting to really piss me off, i get sick and tired of people reacting to this crap, you mention
      "hey maybe we should pay attention and or be more careful with growing technology, make sure it doesn't surpass our ability to control and or hold onto it..."
      and you get:
      "Luddite scum, get into the new world grandpa you people are the ones bringing our society down!"
      This idea that just by questioning whether or not we should have soemhting or just stating our fears/opinions on technology you are labeled anti-technology and vilified--well unfortunately this is legitimate concern--we see it with the internet where a lot of gray and bad things occur and are allowed to occur, because the law has not caught up with the technology--that is the problem,technology is growing so fast our laws barley have time to catch up.
      your right technology has allowed people from all over the world communicate, even view one another and maintain relationships--it has also founded a peice of culture where people's social lives are mostly digital based--Facebook, Myspace (any of these dating and or social websites etc.), Twitter, Email etc. etc. how many times do i see people immersed in their phones and their phones alone--doing texting, games, music, not really talking to each other---in fact actual socialization like talking to another person without a screen or characters is rare for me to witness. Not a crippling culture but one that has to be addressed if we want the actal face to face socialization process to keep away from the endangered species list.
      No one is anti-technology for raising the question are we being left behind where it counts with technology in exchange for convenience and simplistic pleasures.

    @MRSEXY4EVER 9 лет назад +19

    I've watched every episode for the years 5 years, and this was one of the most painful episodes I've had to sit through. Nye, while being highly informed on scientific matters, is unable to contribute to any other topic with other than rhetorical questions or hackneyed observations, he should really be only the mid show guest and only talk about science. And I'm a fairly liberal person, but Fran makes me want to join the tea party myself. If you can make Maher and Reiner cringe, you have some seriously fucked views. Walking stereotypes like her are exactly why conservatives find it so easy to hate liberals. Not to mention her banal and choppy banter that stopped conversation in its tracks, my god, please stick to writing. Stay far away from any live camera feeds

Go into any restaurant or coffee shot and 80% of the people will be STARING at their phones - even when they are with other people. RUDE is the word of today. In other ways though technology is great. I love that you can Google stuff or shop online. Good and bad.

No, they are doing it because they are ignorant and dont think they have anything better to do. If we were to properly educate them and stop letting corporations push this materialist bullshit on them things would change. Its not technology that is the problem, it is ignorance and the corporations who push it.

    Medicine is massively improved in Fran's lifetime, to say only Polio is an uninformed answer. Organ Transplantation is HUGE. The massive changes in joint repair/replacement ( i had a joint in my back replaced). Heart Surgury ect ect. They may not have "Cured" things but they have saved countless more lives within the Cardiology field alone.

    They are right about urban vs rural in the south. The reason urban people are more liberal than rural people in general is because the urban folks have higher degrees of education. Even socially moderate conservatives know that. It's not opinion. It's a fact that knowledge is inherently liberal while faith is inherently conservative.

    Indeed, we are less informed now than we were in decades past because of the amount of choice we have. When someone encounters ideas that may be true but disturb their established world view, they just hit the X at the top right corner of the screen and it goes away. The lanes of communication have become more rigid now than ever before because of choice. The necessary growth must be in our collective ability to at least listen to uncomfortable ideas. We must somehow learn to deal with the fear of being hard sold on something we will later regret, the overwhelming nature of problems that seem beyond our individual ability to do anything about, and the annoyance of possibly being sucked into an endless circular argument over dead(zombie) ideas. We will probably have to reach a crisis point where bullshit cannot be tolerated because all of our lives are at stake. In truth, our freedom and the existence of the whole planet are threatened by none other than the overwhelming volume of bullshit in the communication stream.

    A bunch of old timers scared of change. Reiner: "We are less informed now." Are you kidding, or just ignorant? Internet users and students know WAY more than their equivalents of the previous generation. How to apply that knowledge is another question, but saying we know less because of technology is honestly one of the dumbest things I've heard.

Medical technology and understanding that allows us to double or triple our lifespans. I mean, fuck! Come ON!

    These bobble head sessions aren't very elucidating. Rob Reiner, in particular. doesn't realize he's part of the problem. He's so far left he's loathe to admit Obama ever does anything wrong. This is the second show I've seen Reiner on where he danced away from any criticizing of Obama.

    Every time I saw 2:29 Fran Lebowitz I thought of Edna from "The Incredibles." But it turns out that, along with Rob Reiner, she was in "The Wolf of Wall Street" - remember the judge who sets Jordan Belfort's bail at $10 million? Lebowitz probably got the gig because Martin Scorsese directed a documentary about her in 2010 called "Public Speaking."

    The problem with immigration is we must decide as a nation what are acceptable limits.
    Those who profit from a labor glut through high unemployment and low wages desire this "broken system" we have today, so while politicians clamour for "reform" they are covertly fulfilling the desires of their corporate benefactors.

    • @dreamcoyote
      @dreamcoyote 9 лет назад

      The limits may not be as much of an issue.
      *If* the immigration system really worked (including migrant workers etc) then we wouldn't have people getting paid under the table or with false SS/taxes etc. illegal workers live in a black market where minimum wage, insurance, etc don't exist. it depresses the wage of legal workers in all those areas and breaks chunks of the economy while at the same time magnifying legal citizen purchasing power in those areas (cheaper veggies in the grocery, cheaper construction costs, etc).
      if immigration were fixed, then we would see a sudden inflation of cost in those areas and the effects would be widespread. boom! our purchasing power would take a huge hit. then, over time, as legal employment took over, the economy would respond with more worker salaries, better tax collection, insurance, etc. things would level out and we would get used to some higher prices in areas as well as more money in worker's pockets.
      while painful, the big shift would not so much be immigration but legal employment. at that point it would be feasible to actually come up with more sensible taxing strategies and immigration policies. I think once that were true, the pressures would equalize and there wouldn't need to be strict limits since immigration would level itself out. it would take time, but it's really when everything is over the counter instead of under the counter that the natural forces involved in immigration can take care of themselves.
