Podcast appearances and mentions of Arnold J Toynbee

May we resolve to live not by lies, political correctness, wokeness, or ‘repressive tolerance‘ by any name. May we live by the Truth alone, and may God have mercy on us. Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. — Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels) Frontpage Magazine interview (August 31, 2005) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:8-13 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — John 14:6 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Triggered!

That’s not ‘Holocaust denial’. It’s not denying the reality of genocidal tragedy – on the contrary, it affirms the tragedy(s) everywhere. This group does not have a monopoly on tragedy, as R.J. Rummel proved in DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER in which he coined the term ‘democide’. Despite relentless attempts to denigrate him (wonder why?)

En Diez Capital Radio, Hugo Luengo abre un espacio para la reflexión y el pensamiento crítico, desde una mirada analítica y rigurosa que rehúye las simplificaciones. Su enfoque profundiza en las causas estructurales de los grandes desafíos sociales, políticos y económicos de nuestro tiempo, invitando al oyente a comprender la realidad más allá de los titulares y los discursos complacientes. El artículo “Lamentos por Europa”, de Hugo Luengo, expone una visión crítica sobre la evolución del proyecto europeo, defendiendo que se ha alejado de sus valores fundacionales surgidos tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, como el liberalismo, el mercado único y el rechazo a los extremismos. El autor sostiene que la sociedad actual ha derivado hacia una “cultura del victimismo”, idea influida por el pensamiento de Pascal Bruckner, en la que se prioriza el papel de las víctimas frente a valores como el esfuerzo o la resiliencia. Asimismo, critica la creciente influencia de corrientes ideológicas que califica como “woke”, argumentando que han desplazado principios tradicionales de libertad, igualdad y fraternidad hacia posturas alejadas de la racionalidad. En el plano político y filosófico, menciona a Jürgen Habermas como referente de una democracia deliberativa basada en la razón, aunque considera que Europa no está siguiendo ese modelo. También advierte de un deterioro económico y social, reflejado en problemas como la precariedad laboral, la crisis de vivienda y el debilitamiento de las clases medias, así como una pérdida de competitividad frente a potencias como Estados Unidos y China. A esto suma una crítica a la burocracia de la Unión Europea, que, según el autor, frena la innovación y la iniciativa empresarial. Finalmente, el texto aborda cuestiones culturales y legislativas, señalando cambios que, a juicio del autor, afectan negativamente a la institución familiar y a la estabilidad social. El artículo concluye con una advertencia inspirada en Arnold J. Toynbee, sugiriendo que Europa podría estar encaminándose hacia su propio declive debido a decisiones internas más que a amenazas externas.

In this episode, we ask: What made America special? Who was Arnold J. Toynbee, and what did he study and conclude? What were the British facing in the mid-18th century? What really bugged the Americans? What about adaptation and innovation? What about responding in creative ways? What about reimagining? What about self-governance? What about agency?...

In this two part podcast Professor Thurman gives a teaching on the history of Buddhism and the Esoteric Vajrayana meditation practices preserved in Tibet and found within all Buddhist traditions and teachings. Opening this week's episode with humorous presentation on non-duality using the science fiction movies featuring Godzilla Robert A.F. Thurman explores the nature of anger, the subtle mind and selflessness. Podcast includes a discussion of dharmakāya and mandala visualizations using The Four Noble Truths, The Heart Sutra and of the miss-titled Tibetan Book of the Dead as a popularization of the Buddhist science of the subtle and super subtle mind. Second half of this podcast continues Professor Thurman's exploration of anger with an explanation of "Buddha Pride" and how confidence in the primal knowledge of voidness can help anyone understand how misplaced pride or a pride of ordinariness leads to miss-knowing the blissful nature of reality and suffering. Podcast concludes with a presentation of the work of Arnold J. Toynbee & Karl Jaspers on the Axial Age and a recommendation of "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared M. Diamond. This week's poetry segment Gary Gach reads the poetry of Korean poet, writer, and activist Ko Un.

This year's Reith Lecturer is British historian Arnold J Toynbee. The former Director of Studies at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, he is currently the Koraes Professor of History at London University. He considers how Europe interacts with other countries in his Reith Lecture series entitled 'The World and the West'. In his fifth lecture entitled 'The Psychology of Encounters', Professor Toynbee examines ways in which countries respond to new cultures. He argues that the most important differences are invariably rejected, but that minor "culture strands" are often allowed to flourish, thus creating a patchwork of cultural identities.
