Charles Farrar Browne is often called the first standup comedian. He was, in the 1860s, wildly famous, but his early death, and the soaring career of one of his friends, have contributed to Browne fading from the spotlight in history.

This is the first lecture I ever gave at the 2002 Eureka Springs conference. It is on the Canadian investigation of UFO by the government from 1950- 1954. The Canadian government is about to do another public report in the spring of 2024. It will be a total scam. This lecture is the true story. The Canadian government knew UFOs were for real in 1950 and they even put that fact in a Top-Secret Memo. I doubt the science advisor to the Prime Minister will listen but you never know.
This is part 2 of the first lecture I have at Eureka Springs back in 2002. I tells the true story of the UFO investigation conducted by the Canadian government from 1950-1954. This investigation concluded that Flying saucers are real and it is the most highly classified subject in the United States.

In this episode, Al and Seb talk to Kiri Ingram and Dr Andrew Dougall (both at UQ's School of Political Science and International Studies) about starting out as lecturers, about the nerves, the challenges, imposter syndromes, and the dos and don'ts.
Here is the first lecture I ever gave. The event was the 2003 Eureka Springs conference. Lou Farish who ran the conference was interested in the subject and I was the only one to research it. After my failed attempt to get the world to listen to the sighting that had occurred in 1975 and 1976 in Manitoba Canada I too a hint from someone who had worked in a junior position in the Canadian government's study of UFOs to research what had happened. I started by travelling to Ottawa to talk to the widow of Wilbert B. Smith who had run the story. What I heard from here was like a skinwalkers in Canada episode. The material dealt with the work of Smith from 1950 to his death in 1962. In this podcast I relate my discoveries as of 2003. Since then I have recovered all the thousands of pages of Smith files. In this lecture I tell what the Canadian government was up to, why the program was shut down. I look at the contact with an alien by the name of AFFA. I discuss the craft and the bodies that Smith did comment on. Finally I discuss what Smith discovered including work done of recovered UFO metals recovered by the Canadian and coming from the USAF for analysis. (Assure you some will be new) Much of the material has been placed in a book called "The Canadian Government UFO Story: The Wilbert Smith Files." https://www.amazon.com/CANADIAN-GOVERNMENT-UFO-STORY-Wilbert-ebook/dp/B09KB8G161 Other Links https://linktr.ee/whitehouseufo

The first lecture "do black holes have no hair?" Describes about the first time the black hole being discovered and more. "It is said that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction, and nowhere is that more true in the case of black holes. Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science-fiction writers..."

In this episode of our third series, we present part one of P. D. Ouspensky's book, The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution, which contains the Introduction and the First Lecture. A great work, first written in 1934, and published posthumously in New York in 1950, now out of copyright, which explains that practically never in history has psychology stood at so low a level as at the present time. It has lost all touch with its origin and its meaning so that now it is even difficult to define the term psychology: that is, to say what psychology is and what it studies. And this is so in spite of the fact that never in history have there been so many psychological theories and so many psychological writings. Psychology is sometimes called a new science. This is quite wrong. Psychology is, perhaps, the oldest science, and, unfortunately, in its most essential features a forgotten science. This book contains as much truth today as it did then.

In 1991 the South African schooling system desegregated and historically white schools opened up and accepted children of all races. The first black students in these schools seemed to live up to their place in history. They populated the school awards ceremonies, became prefects and notice boards with black, African names featured for the first time. This was seen as a victory. In 2015, the generation of students who followed the 80s cohort into previously white schools led a nation-wide protest movement which would become known as #FeesMustFall. For this 90s cohort who entered universities, the reality of an untransformed society hit. They called for free education, increased funding to universities, the removal of colonial and apartheid statues, and the decolonization of education. If that was the fight of the 90s cohort, where does that leave the “victory” of the previous generation, the 80s cohort which was the first to enter previously white schools? What did it mean to be a black body, a guinea pigs in the desegregation of the South African schooling system? Award-winning news and current affairs editor, journalist, gender rights activist, speaker, and social commentator, Nolwazi Tusini delivers an edited version of her Ruth First Lecture titled The 80s kids: A story of collaboration as disruption. The lecture is based on her research on the first generation of black children to enter desegregated multi-racial schools in South Africa.

This is the first lecture on Absalom and Achitophel, given on September 7. I just managed to recover it. It's largely about the meaning of and the political views evidenced by Dryden's claim that history repeats itself -- first in Biblical days, then in the late seventeenth century. Some context for the poem is given. We spend a fair amount of time exploring the anti-perfectibilian implications of historical repetition.
The first part of this class was lost -- some glitch with the iPhone. But it was essentially an introduction to the issues continued in the part that starts here: the differences between the Iliad and the Odyssey in the kind of hero being depicted, and the goals of that hero, and especially how those differences are brought out in the various fates of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, Menelaus and Helen, and finally Odysseus and Penelope. Female characters. Hospitality depicted with respect to the suitors and the travelers. The nested narratives of the Odyssey.
We begin considering Richard II and Shakespeare's work generally via Sonnet 73 ("That time of year"), which introduces us to Shakespeare's thinking about time.
