      There’s so much information out there when people buy into information they feel they’re right and will argue with the facts that they know whether it’s actually factual. People need to be ‘right’ thusly cannot listen to something that is contrary to their ‘knowledge’.

    I have wasted a lot of time and energy thinking about Trump since 2016. I am sick and tired of spending most of my 70's of useless energy on this man. Bombarded with daily news of chaos, anger and alternative realities, he has made me crazy on some level. None of my anger or disgust about the man changed his behavior, no one seems to be able to shut him up, or lock him up. We, 81 million fired him, but like Godzilla, he came back to destroy American. In any event, my life, my mental health, is more important than Trump. I can not make this man's insanity, make me insane. I look forward to turning the page on this abusive AH. I am sick of his gaslighting. I need a divorce from Trump for my sanity. Many of us have crossed the line, you know who you are. So, do what you have to do for yourself. Vote however you like. As for me, I am not voting for Trump or anyone like him. If I did, that would make me a fool, I do not want to be remembered as an insane fool.

    A Haitian nurse said to me, after the Trump/Harris Debate, “That woman…her smile…and I heard that she had people feeding answers to an earpiece. She also got the questions before the debate.” I asked her where she had heard that-“social media.” I tried to convince her that social media is not news, it’s not the truth. Although we were 7 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge, the nurse claimed that Kamala “came out of nowhere.” I spent the next 3 minutes telling this nurse that Harris was an Oakland prosecutor, then SF prosecutor, then California Attorney General, and US Senator from California. She was surprised but somehow, I think she was incredulous. I doubt she knew that Kamala is the current Vice President of the United States. We need to communicate in short and simple sentences that are easy to repeat. Democrats need to immediately go on social media to counter all the lies. But we need to be succinct, and do it over and over again.

      Lazy and simplistic interpretation of the Left & Foucault by Harari. Cynicism exists on the left but the foundational mistrust of institutions is no where as pervasive. The current Left is not the same Left in the early 1900s. I am not saying it's not borne of a certain unattainable idealism, but is a necessary good for society to aspire to.

      Working in the newspaper industry for more than 30 years, we knew the rare but weird people would be hanging around. The local media was a magnet for those individuals. We didn't print that stuff. I mean the stuff that would fuel the madness. Simple stuff sometimes. During the anthrax scare, someone called to say they found white powder in their delivered paper. The police were called and the circulation manager was involved. Both agreed, don't print it. The media did report about the man wrapping his house in plastic to point out how crazy it was. People get strange in big news stories. Across America, we had editors and publishers that controlled the craziness. Now we have one company, one group, in charge of the madness.

      And neatly sidesteps the real problem, which is neoliberal globalization. People want to communicate, yes. But what are we communicating about? We are communicating about our increasing sense of financial insecurity and a sense that that insecurity is caused by our having been lied to by the rich and powerful in a myriad of ways. When rich people talk to rich people, as these two are doing, about us, or about anything, I think they're hoping we'll marvel at their cleverness instead of questioning the assumptions underlying their theories.

      And while the historian says media misinformation isn't unique to America, it's RIFE in America for a reason: the average Brit reads, on average, 11-18 books per year. By contrast, the average American reads less than one. This should be worrying in a country where the average person has access to guns! This means, the average gun owner hasn't even read a book about guns! This begs the question: Where are Americans getting info.? The gutter media and any source which supports their bigoted ideas.

    Dr. Harari is one of my favorite authors. As an academic myself, I like that his books aren’t overly academic. They’re written very intelligently & w/ an abundance of research but w/o the jargon of academia which turns off most readers. I always strive for this tone in my academic writings, too.
    What’s the point if academics only write for each other? I’ve ALWAYS felt we should be writing articles & books, especially in the social sciences & humanities, that anyone can read & understand. Trudging through exhaustive tomes & treatises in grad school made me despise the grandiose language & snobbery of most academic writers. Purposefully writing dense, almost incoherent, texts to be picked apart by confused grad students for decades to come while they chuckled demonically at their cleverness. Ugh.

      ​@VicDich Project 2025 is a plan written by former president Trump's staff plus members of the Heritage Foundation. It's meant for Trump to enact it. It was written for him, he didn't write it. Just because Trump doesn't plan that doesn't mean that those around him don't as well.

    I like Ari a lot but I would have liked to hear the speak complete his thoughts without interruption more frequently. Very intelligent important thinker.

    The 'lights out' section could have been a scene out of Orwell's "1984". Trump makes his audience want what he wants them to want even if that is the opposite to what they previously wanted.

    Part of the problem is that most people are not capable of a level headed reasonable conversation. More people want to be right than want to learn something.

    At 20:35, I found it extremely refreshing to see someone who was just asked a complex question calmly say that they needed to consider it before responding. Too many people in our media and political landscapes seem to believe that there should be an fast, easy answer to every question, and that taking a moment for consideration is a sign of stupidity. It's like they'd rather give the loudest wrong answer first than be the first of 5 others to get it right.

      Not only this, he answered a question before with "I don't know" without hesitating. People who are so confident in themselves and their abilities that they admit they have no idea on certain things is always refreshing. Too many experts on everything out there
