quote icon "I knew that Humbolt would die soon, because I had seen him on the street two months before. And he had death all over him. He didn't see me. He was gray stout sick dusty, he had brought a pretzel stick and was eating it. His lunch." James Atlas (Biographer): Delmore Schwartz was born in 1913 in New York, and was appraised by T.S Elliot as the poet of his generation. This amazing, sudden, precocious recognition. But Delmore also became a symbol of the artist in America who's doomed by the pressures of capitalism and has to be crazy because he's a poet. Saul Bellow: People like that have no proper place in American life. They just don't. This is a high tech, high finance, rationally organized kind of society in which people normally don't have such motives as Humbolt had. They just don't. He himself looks upon himself as an alien object, because he was aware that he does not guide his life by the standards that prevail. But in his saner moments, I would have thought that he would say that art was something that life couldn't do without. Uh, there was not this sort of divorce at at all. But that um, um, art was one of the powers that made life life. I think we all believe that. I think I still do.

Book of Mormon

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon I think we need to pay attention. As the archaeologists hit this vast array of information in the Ohio, they all went for the burial mounds, because they wanted the artifacts. The earthen banks, the ditches, the entrance ways, places of entrance as Alma calls it, they have just now begin to start having them excavated. It began in the 1970's by Dr. Robert Reorden of Wright State University. He is leading the way on attacking the berms and the doorways. And he is finding that these things have gone down by fire. They've been burned out showing confrontation. Up to that point, they've been writing off the forts as churches, sacred places. And I've got to tell you, the people in the Ohio, the Hopewell, whoever they are they built more churches than the Mormons did.

quote icon When I was a boy I used to uh... I used to read all about Edison and the Wright brothers, Mr. Ford, they were my heroes. Rags to riches, that's not just the name of a book, that's what this country was all about. We invented the free enterprise system where anybody, no matter who he was, where he came from, what class he belonged to, if he came up with a better idea about anything, there's no limit to how far he could go. I grew up a generation too late, I guess, because now the way the system works, the loner, the dreamer, the crackpot who comes up with some crazy idea that everybody laughs at, that later turns out to revolutionize the world, he's squashed from above before he even gets his head out of the water, because the bureaucrats they would rather kill a new idea than let it rock the boat. If Benjamin Franklin were alive today he would be thrown in jail for sailing a kite without a license. It's true. We're all puffed up with ourselves now 'cause we invented the bomb. Dropped the... Beat the daylights out of the Japanese, the Nazis. But if big business closes the door on the little guy with a new idea, we're not only closing the door on progress but we're sabotaging everything we fought for, everything the country stands for. And one day we're going to find ourselves at the bottom of the heap, instead of king of the hill having no idea how we got there, buying our radios and our cars from our former enemies. I don't believe that's going to happen. I can't believe it because if I ever stop believing in the plain ol' common horse sense of the American people there'd be no way I could get out of bed in the morning.

Covid

quote icon "Less than a month ago on July 31st, the CDC ... released guidelines to state health departments about patients infected with the coronavirus," Carlson said. "In a footnote, the CDC acknowledged that researchers lacked evidence that 'masks offer any protection' against coronavirus. Any at all." According to Carlson, the CDC urged state health departments to "ignore whether or not people were wearing masks," deeming it an insignificant consideration when monitoring the spread of the virus in their area. " In other words, wearing a mask might be completely irrelevant to preventing the spread of the virus," he said. "So there is still no proof that masks protect us against COVID-19?" Trump vs. Biden: Deal with the virus then reopen the country?Video "Why isn't that on page one of The New York Times?" Carlson asked. "Why is the entire media, the entire leadership class of the United States of America ignoring this? Masks are obligatory, they're mandatory, everywhere. "What is going on?" he continued. "You know what is going on. Fear works. The more afraid you are, the more you will accept ... it's human nature. The more cut off you are from your family and your friends, the more power they have to control you.

quote icon well Tucker there's so much to talk about here first off I didn't realize I was going to be on a sci-fi show tonight but, we are, entering a dystopian future we are entering an authoritarian future because as I've said to you before authoritarians love authoritarianism so they're taking this opportunity when we're all confused, we're all locked at home, the only way we can communicate with each other through their pipes is through YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and everything else and they're actually finally saying to us this is who we are I mean theAtlantic is ridiculous I don't know anyone that reads it anymore but but the bigger issue here is is the YouTube Twitter Facebook component of it because we are now saying to them or they're saying to us we're gonna tell you what's true and if you dare go against what we say is true not necessarily what is true but what we say is true then we're gonna boot you so the the of course the other part of this is that it will always only be one side that gets booted here I mean is Facebook running around and is Twitter and YouTube running around are they taking away all the Russian collusion videos that were up over the past couple years a pretty sure MSNBC has a YouTube channel that still has videos on it I mean that was pushing lies and misinformation and propaganda so we need to debate these things if I was to interview these two doctors that you showed the video of would my channel be deleted am I not allowed to talk about that is that not what science and open inquiry really is about that you test theories and then you find out what actually is true and as you pointed out and this may be the most important part it's not as if the w-h-o is infallible.

Carpe Diem

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon John Keating: I would like you to step forward over here. And peruse some of the faces from the past. You've walked past them many times. I don't think you've really looked at them. They're not that different from you are they. Same haircuts. Full of hormones just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on. Lean in. Listen. You hear it? Carpe...Carpe...Carpe Diem. Seize the day boys. Make your lives extraordinary.

Design

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon I have this mantra. It's called, "If a schedule is long, it's wrong. If it's tight, it's right." And I've just, basically just go recursive improvement on schedule, with feedback loop. "Did this make it go faster? OK. If it didn't, we're going to need to fix it." If the design takes a long time to build, it's the wrong design. This is the fundamental thing. Over and over, the tendency is to complicate things. And I have another thing which is, the best part is no part. The best process is no process. It weighs nothing, costs nothing, can't go wrong. So, as obvious as that sounds, the best part is no part. The thing I'm most impressed with, when I have the design meetings at SpaceX, is "What did you undesign?" Undesigning is the best thing. Just delete it. That's the best thing.

Drawing

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon I have been trying to draw for 15 years. But all I kept doing in that time was trying to copy finished works others had done. I always got stuck on trying to replicate the details and could never break them down to simple shapes and forms. And worse, when copying something, I never felt like I learned anything. It just felt like a fruitless exercise. I watched this video few years ago, not really understanding how to implement it. I got what Sycra was trying to say, but I couldn't drop my fears and pride enough to actually follow the advice. I thought that using a source would be faster than just blindly trying to draw stuff on my own. And I definitely was too scared to try and draw stuff from memory before attempting to look at a source. I mean, who can draw something without looking at it first? THAT must be the phantom talent everyone talks about. So I just kept going back to copying stuff. Just this last week, when I was trying for the umpteenth time to copy a drawing, it never came out the way I wanted it to. I could see every little mistake I was making, but had no basis of understanding how to correct the mistakes. And as a result, every new drawing I did ended up worse than the one before. And I got frustrated more than I ever had. I hit my breaking point and, as if the years of failure were all piled up at once, I vowed to give up on drawing. But in my blind anger, I also had a small revelation. "If I can't copy the source correctly, then to hell with the source!" Out of simple spite, I decided to draw one last thing. I set myself to purposefully draw the source incorrectly. I made the hips too fat, drew the chin off center, tried to make the arms like noodles, put the mouth too far up, made one leg longer than the other, etc. I wanted to vent all my frustration on this one drawing, since I had gotten myself into a mental state where I assumed anything I did would look bad anyway. But I was shocked to find that the figure I purposefully drew wrong looked better than all the copies I had attempted. I thought it was a fluke so I drew a couple more. And again, these strange variations on the source I doodled in about 1 minute ended up looking better than the meticulous, time consuming copies that took me 15 minutes a piece. And more importantly, I had actual fun drawing them, unlike the copying which felt like work. Soul crushing, annoying work that made me dread drawing. So I experimented further and tried drawing random body shapes and faces without a source. And again, the results were surprising. I was drawing better stuff without looking at a source than I ever did when trying to copy a finished piece of art. Somehow in all those years of painfully trying to copy, I had learned some of the basics of anatomy and perspective. But I never felt like I had because I was only using those skills to try and copy a completed image. In effect, I was discouraging myself because my rough sketches didn't look exactly like a fully inked and colored final image. During all this realization, I remembered this video and rewatched it. And suddenly everything clicked. I tried Sycra's suggestion of drawing 20 heads and it worked. After about 10 heads, I found new tricks which drastically improved the placement of eyes and mouth. And after all 20, I had already gotten to a point that I could replicate it in just a few seconds without much effort. And I didn't even look at a source to create the head. I just kept refining the first basic head I came up with. I don't know if someone new to drawing can start right away with this or if you need the years of copying to build the mental library/muscle memory to get to this point. But all I can say is, in my experience, it finally started working. After I dropped my stubbornness and accepted it. And I thank Sycra for expanding on this process. Now I'm going to keep trying this process with all the parts of the body and hopefully move onto landsc

Democracy

quote icon The founders believed in a republic the Left believes in a democracy It's a big difference that Is the reason that we have two senators from every state? States with 30 million people have two senators and states with two million people have two senators Because it's the United States of America not just America. They did not trust The great majority they want they didn't because they knew people are not basically good So they didn't trust just let's go in the majority Nope That's why there's an electoral college And that's why the Left hates the electoral college and they're trying to get around it now not using the constant a constitutional amendment process Colorado just today passed the law that all the electoral votes of Colorado will go to whoever wins the national vote So in other words if Colorado goes for candidate a and the country goes for candidate be tough Coloradans We don't care It's not it's a republic or as franklin said it's a republic if you can keep it He knew what this is in an experiment America is an experiment Every generation has to reaffirm the experiment or it disappears That's my worry The left believes America is racist bigoted imperialistic Conservatives believe America is the least racist country in the history of any multi-ethnic multiracial country

quote icon Alfred Doolittle: Well. Look at it my way. What am I? I ask you what am I? I’m one of the undeservin’ poor, that’s what I am. Now think what that means to a man. It means he’s up against middle class morality for all of time. If there’s anything going and I puts in fer a bit of it, it’s always the same story. Your undeservin' so you can’t have it. But my needs is as great as the most deservin' widows that ever got money out of six different charities in one week for the death of the same husband. Heh. I don’t need less than a deservin’ man. I need more. I don’t eat less hardy than he does. And I drink…oh a lot more. I’m playin’ strait with you. I aint pretending to be deserving. No. I’m undeserving. And I mean to go on being undeserving. I like it and that’s the truth.

Elitism

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon Don Lemon: Democrats don't do a good job of speaking to working class people. What do you say to that? You are supposed to be fixing that. Andrew Yang: I had that experience countless times on the trail Don. Where I would say 'Hey I'm running for President' to a truck driver, retail worker, a waitress in a diner. And they would say 'What party?' and I would say Democrat. And they would flinch like I had said something really negative or like I had turned another color or something like that. And there is something deeply wrong when working class Americans have that response to a major party that theoretically is supposed to be fighting for them. So you have to ask yourself what has the Democratic party been standing for in their minds. And in their minds the Democratic party unfortunately has taken on this role of the coastal, urban elites who are more concerned about policing various cultural issues than improving their way of life that has been declining for years. And so, if you're in that situation, this to me is a fundamental problem for the Democratic party, because if they don't figure this out then this polarization and division will get worse not better. Don Lemon: Is that real, or messaging, or both? Andrew Yang: It's real. I mean Debbie just said they just lost a plant that had 1500 workers. And so if you are a laid off worker from that plant and you look up and say 'What is the Democratic party doing for me?', it's unclear. And we can talk about a unifying message from Joe Biden, he's a naturally very unifying figure, but then there's the reality on the ground where their way of life has been disintegrating for years, and if we don't address that then you're going to see a continued acceleration toward the institutional mistrust that animated the Trump vote and will continue to do so.

Economy

quote icon But it's hard if you've taken a significant amount of losses in your business, and you may not have the capital. A lot of these businesses are going to fail. Unfortunately my projection is that you'r probably going to lose 25% to 30% of all restaurants. We'll probably lose a quarter of all hotels. And there's just going to be a whole host of businesses that won't restart. And why is this so important? It's not just that that one restaurant fails or multitudes of restaurants. But they're the job engine. Small businesses are the job engine for America. It's when small businesses go from small businesses to medium, to big companies. That is what creates job and opportunities for Americans. So I'm really concerned that we're going to be in kind of a long term higher level of unemployment. Maybe a permanent 10% unemployment for a number of years. Because it's not going to just snap back on.

Free Will

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon Moyers: The difficult part to see of course, is the proposition that people are born with a freedom that is inherent in human nature. Adler: I don't think it's too difficult. If I said that man, and man alone has an intellect. Other animals have perceptual intelligence, but only man has intellection or understanding, conceptual intelligence, and along with that only man has a will that is free. I mean, I think these two things: free will, and conceptual intelligence, being able to think, and understand as only man can think and understand are the distinctive characteristics of the human race. These are the properties of human nature. And these two properties that underlie freedom of action, the entitlement of freedom of action, and underlie freedom of political liberty. Moyers: And we have them by being human? Adler: That's right. Moyers: In our nature? Adler: That's right.

quote icon Freedom is so hard and annoying and messy why do I want you to have it if the natural way of things is one person rules and everybody else follows why not just fall into the natural way and the reason is without freedom you will never know joy you will never have the full life that God meant you to have in the Declaration it says that God gave you certain rights among them the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and we talk about happiness sometimes as if they want you to be happy like you just have a great date or you're just made a lot of money or something like that that's not the kind of happiness they were talking about that happiness comes and goes when sad things happen you'll be sad when happy things happen you'll be happy the kind of happiness that the founders were talking about is what the Greeks called eudaimonia means good spirit it really means human flourishing it's what Jesus called life in abundance that's what they wanted you to pursue they wanted you to pursue eudaimonia where does it come from well Aristotle said that it came from virtue that people did not experience eudaimonia until they had virtue and jesus said that virtue largely consists of loving God and loving your neighbor as you love yourself.

Family History

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon As you go back in time, the records become less complete. As others of your family search out ancestors, you will discover that the ancestor you find has already been offered the full blessings of the temple. Then you will have a difficult and important choice to make. You will be tempted to stop and leave the hard work of finding to others who are more expert or to another time in your life. But you will also feel a tug on your heart to go on in the work, hard as it will be. As you decide, remember that the names which will be so difficult to find are of real people to whom you owe your existence in this world and whom you will meet again in the spirit world. When you were baptized, your ancestors looked down on you with hope. Perhaps after centuries, they rejoiced to see one of their descendants make a covenant to find them and to offer them freedom. In your reunion, you will see in their eyes either gratitude or terrible disappointment. Their hearts are bound to you. Their hope is in your hands. You will have more than your own strength as you choose to labor on to find them.

quote icon I invite the young people of the Church to learn about and experience the Spirit of Elijah. I encourage you to study, to search out your ancestors, and to prepare yourselves to perform proxy baptisms in the house of the Lord for your kindred dead. And I urge you to help other people identify their family histories. As you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn to the fathers. The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be implanted in your hearts. Your patriarchal blessing, with its declaration of lineage, will link you to these fathers and be more meaningful to you. Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will increase. Your testimony of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding. And I promise you will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you participate in and love this holy work, you will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives.

God

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon If the general picture however of a big bang, followed by an expanding universe is correct, what happened before that? Was the universe devoid of all matter and then the matter suddenly, somehow created? How did that happen? In many cultures the customary answer is that a god or gods created the universe out of nothing. But if we wish to pursue this question courageously, we must of course ask the next question, where did God come from? If we decide that this in an unanswerable question why not save a step and conclude that the origin of the universe is an unanswerable question? Or, if we say that God always existed, why not save a step and conclude that the universe always existed? There's no need for a creation, it was always here. These are not easy questions. Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries. With questions that were once treated only in religion and myth.

Global Economy

quote icon When you look at the 2nd and 3rd world, the developing and least developed countries. We have made enormous progress over the last 20 years of eliminating starvation, of reducing diseases and infections like malaria. And with this economic collapse its going to have profound impact on those countries. Because a lot of these countries manufacture products and send them to the United States. So when we stop buying apparel here in the United States, what's going to happen? Those factories are going to be shut down. Those people won't have a job. And they don't have long term unemployment insurance. They don't have food stamps. They don't have any of those things. So I'm very concerned what's going to happen to a spike of starvations throughout the 3rd world. I'm very concerned about the economic collapse, the social unrest that will come from it.

Humanity

quote icon The number of useful ways of assembling nucleic acids is stupifyingly large. It's probably larger than the total number of atoms in the universe. This means that the number of possible kinds of human beings is vastly greater than the number of human beings that has ever lived. This untapped potential of the human species is immense. There must be ways of putting nucleic acids together which will function far better - by any criterion you wish to choose - than the hereditary instructions of any human being who has ever lived. Fortunately we do not know, or at least do not yet know, how to assemble alternative sequences of nucleotides to make alternative kinds of human beings. But in the future we might well be able to put nucleotides together in any desired sequence to produce whatever human characteristics we think desirable. A disquieting and awesome prospect.

Humanity

quote icon Moyers: What if we are wrong about human nature? Adler: If we are wrong about human nature, if we are not different from the animals in kind, if we differ only in degree from the higher mammals, I cannot state a rational justification for a different treatment of men and beasts. The Roman law made the fundamental distinction between persons and things. The word "person" is a very important word. I have never found anyone who is willing to call a cow a person. Or a dog a person. Now why not? Why do we refuse the word person to these animals we love and care for, our domestic pets. We sometime joke "my cat is like a person" but we know we are joking, that they are not persons. Now that word person means that we by being persons, not things, have a dignity. And all of us, every human being from the least to the greatest in terms of all the difference talents and aptitudes is a person, has personal dignity, and the rights that we have, the right to freedom, the right to political liberty, are our personal attributes.

Bush) … So I’ve got to say, when we were invited, you know, I was aware that I was going to be surrounded with people from very different views and beliefs. … But during the game they showed a shot of George and me laughing together, and uh so. People were upset, they thought why is a gay, Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican President. … But a lot of people were mad, and they did what people do when they’re mad, they tweet. But here is one tweet that I love. This person says “Ellen and George Bush together makes me have faith in America again.” … (Cheers) … Exactly! Here’s the thing. I’m friends with George Bush, in fact I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share the same beliefs that I have. We’re all different and I think that we’ve forgotten that that’s OK that we’re all different. … But Just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I am not going to be friends with them. When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people who think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone. Doesn’t matter.

Mormon

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon There are many ways to describe and speak of divine love. One of the terms we hear often today is that God’s love is “unconditional.” While in one sense that is true, the descriptor unconditional appears nowhere in scripture. Rather, His love is described in scripture as “great and wonderful love,”3 “perfect love,”4 “redeeming love,”5 and “everlasting love.”6 These are better terms because the word unconditional can convey mistaken impressions about divine love, such as, God tolerates and excuses anything we do because His love is unconditional, or God makes no demands upon us because His love is unconditional, or all are saved in the heavenly kingdom of God because His love is unconditional. God’s love is infinite and it will endure forever, but what it means for each of us depends on how we respond to His love.

quote icon Now today, I feel grateful to add my testimony to those other testimonies—to be one more apostolic voice in support of this temple challenge. I extend the promise of protection that’s been offered in the past. Brothers and sisters, I promise you protection for you and your family as you take this challenge, to “find as many names to take to the temple as ordinances you perform in the temple, and teach others to do the same.”...And if you accept this challenge, blessings will begin to flow to you and your family like the power of the river spoken of by Ezekiel. And the river will grow as you continue to perform this work and teach others to do the same. You’ll find not only protection from the temptation and ills of this world, but you’ll also find personal power—power to change, power to repent, power to learn, power to be sanctified, and power to turn the hearts of your family together and heal that which needs healing.

Tell them Clarence Thomas is unacceptable. He has indicated that he believes in Natural Law, and he does not believe in privacy." News Clip 2 (Flo Kennedy): We don't need a lot of questions to be asked before we Bork this guy. We simply, immediately Bork him. News Clip 3: We want you to organize pickets at their offices, follow them from the airport to the supermarket. News Clip 4 (Patricia Ireland): There is substantial opposition to Clarence Thomas. His history of supporting a judicial philosophy that is really out of step with the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Clarence Thomas: We know exactly what is going on here. And to pretend it is for some other reason, stop. Do I have stupid written on the back of my shirt? Come on, we know what this is all about. This isn't about what they say it's about. People should just tell the truth. This is the wrong black guy. He has to be destroyed. Just say it. Now at least we are being honest with each other.

I'm a hero when I'm a gutless wonder. They had guts the resistance because if they were caught in in in Germany or France They were tortured to death. In America, if you're part of the democratic or left-wing resistance, you get an op-ed in the New York Times. You're not tortured. It's a fraud to call it resistance. It is the first time in American modern history. Certainly since World War two which use that term that anybody has declared Its opposition to a president the resistance. But they've cheapened all terms whether it's rape or Nazi fascist It's just been cheapened and now resistance.

Patriarchal Blessing

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon Moderator Question: We have a question about patriarchal blessings. One youth from Utah said, "I love my patriarchal blessing. But I must admit there are times where the sacred document seems to cause more stress than comfort. There are times where I read the counsel given and wonder if I'm walking up to the promises of the blessing. In what way should I use or view my patriarchal blessing to make sure these feelings don't arise?" Elder Holland (to Elder Eyring): I've heard you on patriarchal blessings. Now, you've got to respond to that. Elder Eyring: Yeah, yeah. I shall. I got a patriarchal blessing when I was 11 years old. And I got it from a patriarch named Gaskell Romney. And he had never - I don't think he'd ever seen me before. I was in the mission field, and so I had to go to Utah to get a patriarch. That was before they had patriarchs everywhere. And so Uncle Gaskell was my grandmother's brother. And I went to Uncle Gaskell, and he put his hands on my head and began to talk about my future and began to describe it in words from 1 Corinthians, the 13th chapter. Charity, of charity. And I opened my eyes because I thought, "How does this old man, whom I've never seen before, know that since I've been a little boy, that scripture has every time" - by the way, it was before the Supreme Court said you couldn't do church things in public schools. And so we had a thing where the kids, everybody got to pick a scripture. So you had 30 kids in the class, so every 30 days it would come my turn. I always picked the same scripture - always the same. The kids must have thought -oh, I don't know what they thought. And then here's this patriarch saying, "You'll have a family someday. This is a description of what will be in that family." And so I'll tell you, the way to look at a patriarchal blessing - my suggestion is, look, it may be kind of tough. I know my wife's patriarchal blessing said, "Be careful when you go to university. Somebody's going to come after your faith. And you'd better protect yourself, and you'd better listen to your parents." So here's this patriarchal blessing. You'd say, "Oh, that's tough." Well, you know, it's a warning. Well, it turns out when she came back to where I was in Boston, and she was there for the summer, the summer that I met her, there was a guy there at Harvard who actually told people, "I'm going to get that girl. I'll get her faith." And I'm telling you, a patriarchal blessing - I would take it very, very seriously but not expect it to be comforting. It could be a warning. And I won't tell other stories. But I can tell others of being a bishop of a girl who had a disaster. And she had said that her patriarchal blessing had warned her in detail of what that was going to be, and it came. And so a patriarchal blessing is whatever the Lord wants it to be for you. But I wouldn't read it - I wouldn't read it for sweetness. I would read it for "What does God know about my life, and what can I do better?" And I would look at it that way. And it's not supposed to make you feel sweet. It's supposed to make you know what it is God has in store for you. And it's a wonderful - I'll just bear you my testimony; they're real. Gaskell Romney knew things he couldn't have known if God hadn't told him. So that's my suggestion. The patriarch is someone who God does direct, and you are wise to take whatever it - if it's a warning, take that. If it's comfort, take that. If it's direction, take that, but just - it's one of the - by the way, speaking of having a conversation with God, a patriarchal blessing comes pretty close.

quote icon Man, I think most white people and black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart. But I think our system is set up for our politicians, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer. I truly believe in my heart most white people and black people are awesome people, but we are so stupid following our politicians whether they're Republican or Democrats, and their only job is "Hey, let's make these people not like each other. We don't live in their neighborhoods, we all have got money. Let's make the whites and blacks not like each other. let's make rich people and poor people not like each other. Let's scramble the middle class."

quote icon Sanson Carrasco: Why are you poets so fascinated with madmen? Cervantes: We have much in common. Sanson Carrasco: You both turn your backs on life. Cervantes: We both select from life. Sanson Carrasco: A man has to come to terms with life as it is. Cervantes: Life as it is. I've lived for over 40 years and I've seen life as it is. Pain. Misery. Cruelty beyond belief. I've heard all the voices of God's noblest creature. Moans from bundles of filth in the street. I've been a soldier and a slave. I've seen my comrades fall in battle or die more slowly under the lash in Africa. I've held them at the last moment. These were men who saw life as it is, yet they died despairing. No glory, no brave last words, only their eyes, filled with confusion, questioning "Why?" I do not think they were asking why they were dying, but why they had ever lived. When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness; To surrender dreams this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness! And maddest of all - to see life as it is and not as it should be!

I have asked conservatives when the thousand conservatives would be in an audience I asked them which they would prefer. Okay. It's a good example So I said don't cheer yet or don't vote yet.

Space Exploration

quote icon According to the geological records, earth has been around for around 4.5 billion years, although it was mostly molten magma for about half a billion years... The sun is gradually getting hotter and bigger, and over time, even in the absence of global warming — the man-made stuff — the sun will expand and it will overheat the earth. My guess is probably... there is only several hundred million years left.... Basically, if it took an extra 10% longer for conscious life to evolve on earth, it wouldn't evolve at all, because it would have been incinerated by the sun. ... It appears that consciousness is a very rare and precious thing, and we should take whatever steps we can to preserve the light of consciousness, and the window has been open; only now after four and a half billion years is that window open, that's a long time to wait ... I'm pretty optimistic by nature, but there's some chance that window will not be open for long, I think we should become a multi-planet civilization while that window is open, and if we do the I think probable outcome for Earth is even better, because then you know Mars could help Earth one day.

Self Defense

quote icon I have a human right. The beautiful thing about the Constitution and the bill of rights is, this was just codified human rights. It doesn't grant any government any type of power. The framers of this place just said, these are human natural rights that you are born with and we as a nation are going to recognize it. So me personally, I don't care if people want to say they want to repeal the second amendment. You know, it's always very interesting to me the people saying they want to appeal it, and they have the process of doing it. They could get two-thirds of congress to ratify it. It's out there. The issue to me is these are the same people that if you ask them, if you say "Ok. Cool. Your security detail and law enforcement which are American citizens, are you ok with those people being subject to those same rules and restrictions as well? Then you'll get a resounding well, well, well, it's gotta be different. It's gotta be different. The police have to have a firearm because there's bad guys out there. Well, that's the same reason why I carry a firearm. And again, these are codified human and natural rights, and I don't care what the unconstitutional statute would attempt to tell me. These things are a list of checks on government, not the other way around. So there will never be a time in American history when the American people will not own firearms. How are you going to get them from us?

Scientific Method

YouTube Video Thumbnail

quote icon The Pythagoreans had discovered in the mathematical underpinnings of nature, one of the two most powerful scientific tools, the other is of course is experiment. But instead of using their insight to advance the collective voyage of human discovery, they made of it little more than the hocus-pocus of a mystery cult. Science and mathematics were to be removed from the hands of the merchants and the artisans. This tendency found its most effective advocate in a follower of Pythagoras named Plato. He preferred the perfection of these mathematical abstractions, to the imperfections of everyday life. He believed that ideas were far more real than the natural world. He advised the astronomers not to waste their time observing the stars and planets. It was better, he believed, just to think about them. Plato expressed hostility to observation and experiment. He taught contempt for the real world, and disdain for the practical application of scientific knowledge. Plato's followers succeeded in extinguishing the light of science and experiment that had been kindled by Democritus and the other Ionians. Plato's unease with the world as revealed by our senses was to dominate and stifle western philosophy.

Scientific Method

quote icon But our sun is only one of a billion-trillion stars within the observable universe. And those countless suns all obey natural laws some of which are already known to us. How did we discover that there are such laws? If we lived on a planet where nothing ever changed, there wouldn't be much to do, there'd be nothing to figure out. There'd be no impetus for science. And if we lived in an unpredictable world where things changed in random or very complex ways, we wouldn't be able to figure things out. And again, there'd be no such thing as science. But we live in an in between universe where things change alright, but according to patterns, rules, or as we call them, laws of nature. If I throw a stick up in the air, it always falls down. If the sun sets in the west, it always rises again the next morning in the east. And so it's possible to figure things out. We can do science. And with it we can improve our lives.

Socialism

quote icon Erin Burnett: When you introduced your wealth tax, which would tax the assets of the wealthiest Americans, you said, quoting you senator, "billionaires should not exist." Is the goal of your plan to tax billionaires out of existence? Bernie Sanders: When you have a half-million Americans sleeping out on the street today. When you have 87 million people uninsured or under-insured. When you have hundreds of thousands of kids who cannot afford to go to college. And millions, struggling with the oppressive burden of student debt. And then you also have three people owning more wealth than the bottom half of American society. That is a moral and economic outrage. And the truth is, we cannot afford to continue this level of income and wealth inequality. And we cannot afford a billionaire class who's greed and corruption has been at war with the working families of this country for 45 years. So if you are asking me, do I think we should demand the wealthy start paying ... the wealthiest top 1/10th of 1 percent, start paying their fair share of taxes, so we can create a nation and government that works for all of us? Yes, that's exactly what I believe.

Socialism

quote icon I have talked face to face with the godless communist leaders. It may surprise you to learn that I was host to Mr. Khrushchev for a half day when he visited the United States, not that I’m proud of it. I opposed his coming then, and I still feel it was a mistake to welcome this atheistic murderer as a state visitor. But, according to President Eisenhower, Khrushchev had expressed a desire to learn something of American Agriculture — and after seeing Russian agriculture I can understand why. As we talked face to face, he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren will live under freedom, he arrogantly declaired in substance: "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands." And they’re ahead of schedule in their devilish scheme.

quote icon Bill Maher: What do you think of Trump saying he'll go after entitlements if he's re-elected? Erik Erickson: Bulls**t. Bill Maher: Bulls**t that he says it? Erik Erickson: He's not going to do it. Nobody's going to do it. I mean this is what the president says... Bill Maher: But why say it then? Erik Erickson: Because he wanted more money from the Republicans in his budget for nuclear defense so they gave him more money by saying we'll deal with entitlements next time around. And next time around just like George W. Bush said he'll do it he won't actually do it. Alex Wagner: He's been pretty good about following up on all the big promises. I mean... They don't always get through, but like... Erik Erickson: There's no way. And even if the republicans... Paul Ryan wanted this forever, you had both houses of congress and a republican president, they wouldn't touch it. When we finally go bankrupt as a nation, they'll all deal with these issues and until then we're not going to.

Upper Class

quote icon Interviewer: Your dad said said to you, you must never look startled. John Cleese: That's right because he had been in India, mixing with the upper-middle classes. And he noticed how they behaved. It's really baboon behavior. If you want to see how to behave as an upper-class person, go and watch the baboons. They're not startled. They move very slowly all the time. Interviewer: The number one rule is not to be embarrassing or to be embarrassed. John Cleese: Yes. So if you look at the royals, what they do is they keep these cheek muscles completely rigid all the time. It enables them to move their mouths around like this, rather in a sort of humorous way. And all the emotion is you, completely, uh, you know, superfluous, and unnecessary. It's a straight-jacket. That's upper class behavior.
