In der neuesten Folge des Podcasts „Schach für Kinder“ spricht Xenia Bayer über Redewendungen und ihre Ursprünge – und wie das Schachspiel sich klammheimlich in unsere Alltagssprache eingeschlichen hat. Ein Tag voller ÜberraschungenXenia erzählt, wie sie plötzlich merkte, dass ihr Projekt auf der Kippe stand – oder wie sie es ausdrückt: am seidenen Faden hing. Am Ende hatte sie aber Schwein und konnte das Problem noch rechtzeitig lösen. Die Redewendungen klingen vielleicht lustig, haben aber oft spannende Ursprünge. Schach als Quelle für kreative SprücheViele Begriffe aus dem Schach haben es in unsere Alltagssprache geschafft – oft, ohne dass wir es merken, wie zum Beispiel: Einen geschickten Schachzug machen – eine clevere Entscheidung treffen. Jemanden in Schach halten – jemanden kontrollieren oder unter Druck setzen. Einen Zug voraus sein – strategisch denken und vorausplanen. en passant - eine Aufgabe nebenbei meistern Zugzwang – handeln müssen, obwohl keine Option so richtig toll ist. Schachmatt – keine Chance mehr auf einen Ausweg. Das zeigt, dass Schach nicht nur ein Spiel ist, sondern eine Art Lebensschule – oder zumindest eine gute Ausrede, wenn man zu lange über Entscheidungen nachdenkt. Schach und das Leben – mehr Gemeinsamkeiten als gedacht„Das Leben ist wie ein Schachspiel“, sagen kluge Leute – darunter Thomas Henry Huxley und Albert Einstein. Man muss vorausdenken, manchmal Risiken eingehen und gelegentlich einen Bauern opfern, um später besser dazustehen. Im echten Leben bedeutet das vielleicht, ein Wochenende fürs Lernen zu opfern, damit man später nicht in Zugzwang gerät. Ein Schachbrett voller SprichwörterZum Schluss ruft Xenia die Zuhörer auf, weitere Redewendungen aus der Schachsprache zu teilen. Vielleicht kennt ja jemand noch eine, die im Alltag häufiger benutzt wird? Und zum krönenden Abschluss gibt es noch eine Schach-Anekdote: Iraida Spasskaja, die Schwester des zehnten Schachweltmeisters Boris Spassky, war nicht nur im Schach, sondern auch im Dame eine echte Meisterin. Man könnte sagen, Talent lag in der Familie. Wer also Lust auf eine unterhaltsame Kombination aus Schach und Sprachgeschichte hat, kann in die neue Episode reinhören – ganz ohne Zeitnot.

[originally published on Patreon Oct 12, 2021] Today's all about novels as spycraft. I introduce the premise, the different classifications, and then briefly discuss Ian Fleming, George Viereck, Robert Ludlum, John le Carré, George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and then Aldous Huxley. First I talk about Thomas Henry Huxley, Aldous's grandfather, the X Club, the rise of Darwinism and Social Darwinism, its connections to Rhodes, Milner, and the Fabians, and HG Wells. Then, I go through Aldous Huxley's life, his time in Hollywood, his friends and circle, and how he set up networks in the US to promote drug culture. songs: snippets of Musica Ricercata by György Ligeti (Eyes Wide Shut) Henry the Eighth by Herman's Hermits Brave New World by Motorhead
Known as “Darwin's bulldog”, Thomas Henry Huxley fought a tireless battle against the opponents of evolutionary theory. His grandson Julian lived among the animals of London Zoo and made nature documentaries with a young David Attenborough. Alison Bashford is the author of a Cundill Prize-shortlisted book on the Huxley family, An Intimate History of Evolution. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, she reveals how this pioneering dynasty of scientists and thinkers shaped our view of nature across the 19th and 20th centuries.

Though they disagreed scientifically about the nature of human beings, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace maintained a lasting friendship. On this episode of ID The Future from the vault, we continue to celebrate the bicentennial of the birth of Alfred Russel Wallace. Host Mike Keas concludes his three-part discussion with Michael Flannery about Flannery's book Nature's Prophet: Alfred Russel Wallace and His Evolution from Natural Selection to Natural Theology. Here, Flannery describes the tolerance Darwin and Wallace maintained for each other, a quality crucial to the spirit of science and academic inquiry. He notes that some contemporaries of Darwin lacked this spirit of professional civility, including Darwin's "bulldog" Thomas Henry Huxley. Flannery also relates his experiences at the 2nd Annual International Conference on Alfred Russel Wallace. The paper he presented raised some eyebrows and inspired students and fellow Wallace scholars alike, some of which were entirely unaware of Wallace's natural theology. Both Keas and Flannery hold out hope that the same spirit of tolerance Darwin and Wallace demonstrated can be emulated today by Darwin's defenders and critics. Source
Agnosticism is a belief system that asserts the existence of God, the divine, or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable. It's a belief system rooted in ancient philosophy, but given its modern name by Thomas Henry Huxley in the 19th century. It's a belief system that values evidence and reason, and it's a belief system that's more prevalent in Europe than in the United States. But most importantly, it's a belief system that encourages questioning and critical thinking about the nature of God and the universe. source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism

Thomas Henry Huxley: A Character Sketch
In his early twenties, poor, racked with depression, Thomas Henry Huxley was a nobody. And yet with partner Henrietta Heathorn he began one of the great intellectual and scientific dynasties of his age. The Huxley family through four generations shaped how we all see ourselves. By observing both nature and culture, they worked as scientists, novelists, mystics, filmmakers, poets and as public lecturers, educators and explainers.

On this ID the Future from the vault, Nancy Pearcey, professor and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University, tells some of the political history of Darwinism, and explains how the same troubling issues persist today. Darwin was one of the first to say, if it isn't purely naturalistic, it isn't science. Others, then and now, have suggested that we can keep Darwinian evolution and just trust that God is at work behind the scenes. Pearcey, co-author of The Soul of Science: Christian Faith and Natural Philosophy, says that the problem with this tactic of wedding Darwinism and theism is that ultimately it turns one's understanding of God into something that is largely private and subjective.

È un'opera divulgativa di grande efficacia, nella quale Huxley affronta il problema filosoficamente decisivo di come considerare la posizione dell'uomo nello scenario della natura affrontando abbastanza marginalmente il problema della selezione naturale posto da Darwin.

On this ID the Future from the vault, Nancy Pearcey, author of numerous books, including The Soul of Science (co-authored with Charles Thaxton) and Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, challenges the common belief that Darwin's leading early supporters were convinced of the main pillars of his theory. Many in the nineteenth century were already primed to accept a theory of evolution, but not necessarily by natural selection. As Pearcey explains, some of Darwin's chief supporters had grave doubts about natural selection's role, and some of them believed that God or a “vital force” guided evolution. But Darwin would have none of it. And what do evolutionary scientists think today? The disagreements persist and, if anything, have Read More › Source

“Can consciousness be seen as the key to understanding our surroundings and organizing our actions?” — David Edelman, PhD, Neuroscientist and Visiting Scholar in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College Ep 22: Consciousness Has an Integrative Function with Neuroscientist, David Edelman Episode 22 of our podcast On Consciousness brings back neuroscientist David Edelman, who graciously hosted this discussion in the home of his late father, Nobel Laureate Gerald M. Edelman. Some have argued that consciousness is only a side effect of the brain, but from an evolutionary point of view, major adaptations result from intense genetic pressures, which are causal. The exact nature of that causality is still under debate. One evolutionary function of consciousness is likely to be sensory and action (motor) integration. It seems that consciousness is needed anytime two sensory events have to be combined, like the sound of a bird and the sight of that same bird, or the sound of a singer and her lip movements. Even this sentence requires conscious involvement to combine the beginning with its ending. Consciousness has an integrative function. Talking Points 0:00 – Intro by Nat Geld 0:53 – Is awareness just a side effect of the brain? 5:56 – Does consciousness occur with a delay? 9:13 – Resolving Ambiguity in the World 12:59 – From Uncertainty to Predictability: A major function of consciousness. 18:33 – Fine-tuning the Senses: Perceptual learning. Summary Controversies Over Causality Bernie and David mull over the causal role of consciousness in the brain. Bernie mentions that Darwin's public advocate, Thomas Henry Huxley, claimed that consciousness might only be a side effect of the brain in the way that the steam whistle of a locomotive can be considered to be a side effect of the heating of the giant steam vessel. But this seems to violate the physics of the conservation of energy — the steam vessel is, in fact, driving the train whistle. Still, the notion of consciousness as a side effect continues to be debated in philosophy. David then suggests that one causal role for consciousness may be a retrospective glance at sensory information in the very brief time after visual neurons are activated. David suggests that consciousness may involve a retrospective assessment as opposed to anything else. Bernie agrees with David's point, although it depends on the predictability of the input. When our senses encounter an unpredictable event, consciousness is needed to make the unpredictable, predictable. For biologically important events, like avoiding dangers or keeping your child from harm, consciousness is even more deeply involved. Can consciousness be seen as the key to understanding our surroundings and organizing our actions? David's father, Gerald Edelman, was a famous biologist who thought deeply about consciousness, and wondered about the philosophical question of the causality of consciousness. Bernie offers that awareness is not only useful for interpretation of the world, but also for associative creativity. In general, consciousness is needed to reduce uncertainty and increase predictability. Bernie and David then examine some of the classical experiments on integrative sensory processing. The cognitive scientist David Eagleman has done pioneering work on synesthesia, the ability some people have to link words and numbers with specific colors or sounds or feeling tones — a kind of 'merging of sensations'. Synesthesia is one aspect of artistic creativity that seems to require conscious involvement. Bernie suggests that consciousness has a kind of a pointing role, that allows us to emphasize important events in the world, and to communicate those events to each other. In the final moments of the episode, Bernie and David agree that the conscious brain is remarkably adaptable to an enormous range of new and biologically important events. This “consciously-mediated adaptability” clearly disappears when we do not pay attention or get distracted, or lose alertness. The conscious brain appears to have major bio-cultural functions.

Rudy shares quotes from Thomas Henry Huxley and Charles Dickens.
When science was struggling for a place in popular education, Huxley distinguished himself as its champion. While the arts were to beautify life and increase pleasure, Huxley saw science as a means of benefiting man's prosperity. (Volume 28, Harvard Classics) Huxley born May 4, 1825.
Introductory note on Thomas Henry Huxley (Volume 28, Harvard Classics)
Science fiction's most frequent alternative to human is 'alien', another rich imaginative resource with which to think about what makes us human. This lecture will include reflections on various aliens, from H.G. Wells Selenites, to Octavia Butler's Oankali, the genetic traders who link the novels of her Xenogenesis trilogy who are imagined as both saving and enslaving humanity. Whether aliens are imagined as conquerors or saviours, their superiority has often been used to explore human limitations.A lecture by Jim EndersbyThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/scifi-aliensGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

In vergangenen Episoden habe ich mehrfach über evolutionäre Veränderungen gesprochen — es ist also höchste Zeit zum Thema »Evolution« eine eigene Episode zu machen. Ich freue mich besonders dieses Thema mit Erich Eder diskutieren zu können. Erich ist Professor für Biologe an der medizinische Fakultät der Sigmund Freud Privatuniversität. Erich lehrt auch an der Univ. Wien, hat jahrelang an Urzeitkrebsen, sowie am Department für Evolutionsbiologie geforscht. Zu dieser Aufnahme hat mich Erich auf seinen wunderbaren Bauernhof in die »Urwälder Wiens« eingeladen. Diese Atmosphäre hat auch auf die Aufnahme auf sehr schöne Weise abgefärbt: Wir haben Nachmittags bei Sonnenschein mit der Aufnahme begonnen , dann ist ein Unwetter durchgezogen, was auch zur Folge hatte, das ein Schaf gerne bei uns im Haus Unterschlupf bekommen hätte. In dieser tollen Atmosphäre sprechen wir über die Geschichte der Evolution und damit die ersten wesentlichen Erkenntnisse die auf Charles Darwin und seine Zeitgenossen zurückgehen. Dies sind Erkenntnisse, die teilweise aber auf Ideen beruhen, die bis zur Antike zurückreichen. »Es ist deshalb müssig, immer wieder auf die Nützlichkeit der einzelnen Tiere oder Pflanzen, sowie auf ihre erstaunliche Anpassung aneinander hinzuweisen. Ich möchte gerne wissen, wie ein Lebewesen existieren könnte, wenn seine Teile nicht in dieser Weise angepasst wären. Finden wir nicht, dass es sogleich eingeht, wenn diese Anpassung aufhört? [...] Und kann man nicht auf diese Weise den Anschein von Weisheit und Planung, wie ihn das Universum bietet erklären?«, David Hume Charles Darwin war eine äußerst interessante Persönlichkeit, der in regem Austausch mit bedeutenden Zeitgenossen wie etwa Thomas Henry Huxley, Alfred Russel Wallace und Sir Charles Lyell stand. Erich erzählt von Darwins Reise mit der »Beagle« und dem Verhältnis zu Captain Fitzroy, das als Beispiel für die Reaktion vieler auf Darwins Erkenntnisse dienen kann. Im Jahr 1858 werden Darwins Forschungsergebnisse in der Royal Society präsentiert — und finden keine Beachtung. Das eher populärwissenschaftliche Buch »On the Origin of Species« (veröffentlicht 1859) wird hingegen ein durchschlagender Erfolg. »Evolution always wins« Wir sprechen weiters über Biologismus, Sozialdarwinismus des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts und Ideen der Eugenik, über die ich ansatzweise schon in den Episoden 44 mit Philipp Blom sowie 41 über Bertrand Russel diskutiert habe. Dann erklärt Erich wesentliche neue Erkenntnisse des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts, wie etwa Symbiose, die Rolle von Viren im Austausch von DNA und Epigenitik, Variation in der Mutationsrate, Gruppenselektion und die Systemtheorie nach Rupert Riedl und was ist vom »selbstsüchtigen Gen« zu halten? Nicht nur die Erkenntnis wächst, auch unsere Fähigkeit das Genom von Organismen (und Viren) zu manipulieren. Was können wir von der Zukunft erwarten, mit der synthetischen Biologie, die bereits voll an Fahrt aufnimmt — wird jeder Schüler in der Garage seine eigenen Viren züchten können? Zuletzt stelle ich die Frage, welche Rolle die Prinzipien der Evolution jenseits der Biologie, also etwa in unseren techno-sozialen Systemen, aber auch aus erkenntnistheoretischer Sicht spielen (könnten).

When science was struggling for a place in popular education, Huxley distinguished himself as its champion. While the arts were to beautify life and increase pleasure, Huxley saw science as a means of benefiting man's prosperity. (Volume 28, Harvard Classics) Huxley born May 4, 1825.
Introductory note on Thomas Henry Huxley (Volume 28, Harvard Classics)
Rudy shares a quote from Thomas Henry Huxley .
It is evident that beliefs stemming from antiquity regarding the existence of mythical creatures continued into the early modern period, despite clear statements of caution from Augustine. Popular superstition and mythology filtered into the minds of many academics when faced with new, but limited numbers of primate specimens from Africa and Asia.

Podcast: Finance & Fury Podcast (LS 44 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: The dark past of ‘environmentalism' provides clues to the point of the UN's Sustainable Development GoalsPub date: 2019-10-11Notes from Listening Post:ThoriumWelcome to Finance and Fury, The Furious Friday Edition. The final episode in the mini-series for the SDGs - Covered a lot – today - Summary wrap up and piece together next step One sentence – UN's Agenda 2030 wants us giving up sovereignty to a global unelected socialist government – Went through the 3 Founders – Roosevelt praised fascism, thought it was the best kind of Gov and acted like it in USA, Stalin - loves him some communism and mass genocide, then Churchill – Not a fan of Indian's ‘beastly people' – 1943 Bengali Famine for 3m people starved to death thanks to his policies to take all the food out of the area This sort of thing can't happen today unless we want this – hard to hide true crimes like the past The founders of the UN weren't good leaders, they loved Authoritarian rule – Why would anyone want to live under a Nazi, Communist or Fascist? What if it is done in the name of climate change? That is the propaganda - SDG4 -method of building international socialism – the aim has always started by targeting the next generation - now with global-socialist propaganda All of SDG4 is devoted to ensuring that all children, everywhere, are transformed into what the UN calls “agents of change,” – pushing what the UN wants – Agenda 2030 agreement states the aim is to do this - “Children and young women and men are critical agents of change and will find in the new Goals a platform to channel their infinite capacities for activism into the creation of a better world,” – all the protests been concocted up as part of Agenda 2030 – through the UN 'Extinction Rebellion' protests – bringing cities to a standstill as protestors demand government officials take immediate action to combat climate change. 60 major cities across the world through late October – two days in a row – clients/staff late from protests These protestors have already taken over streets, blocked roadways, and disrupted public transportation in London, Sydney, Paris, and Berlin. Their message is that climate change is an emergency that requires drastic and immediate action Looking to force significant policy change is to shut down parts of major infrastructure, like roads, bridges, highways, rail, airports, and ports – basically acting like fascists or Stalin's useful idiots From what I see it is about crashing the global economy to install a new economic model - Modern Money Theory (MMT) Agenda 2030 is a pretty clear roadmap to global socialism and corporatism/fascism – using activists as the new Brown shirts And what's the reason behind climate change protestors shutting down cities and causing economic shocks across the world? U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon spoke of ‘a dream of a world of peace and dignity for all' this is no different than when the Communists promised the people a ‘worker's paradise.'” – to give them mass starvation and Gulag prison camps History is littered with examples - in a similar manner – Mussolini – Fascism: Doctrines and Institutions - 1923 “State intervention in economic production arises when private initiative is insufficient or when the interests of the state are involved. This intervention may take the form of control.” – Take control of the economy to serve the state, not the people Speech in 1933 – “Fascism establishes the real equality of individuals before the nations. The object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people. What does social justice mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes, it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement.” – almost impossible to tell the people history calls evil to the rulers of the UN today Another example - Nazis – National Socialists – Hitler's party mandate: “We demand the nationalisation of all trusts and demand profit-sharing in large industries. The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all.” – UN has the circular economy to get to the same outcome – all what is in the state's interest Governments deciding what to be produced/consumed, what the price is and who is employed never ended well – but yet people are keen to repeat? The similarities between what the UN wants and what the Nazi's wanted keeps going on Nazis - First political party in the world to pass laws protecting the environment in 1935 two years after the Nazis rose to power - passed a Reich law for the protection of the natural environment scope was unprecedented at the time and while the stated goal was to protect and care for the environment – saving the planet not high on the list Think about Wars and the CO2 emissions form bombs – Obama dropped 26k bombs in 2016 alone – lots of environmental destruction and waste emission there – but meets with Greta for a photo op UN acts like fascists - That is why the 2030 Agenda is universal, applying to all countries and actors – Un states: “requires all nations to take climate action, reduce unemployment, strengthen gender equality and promote peaceful societies, to name a few, if the world is to eradicate poverty and shift into a more sustainable development” – Follows similar fascist policies of enforcement and punishment rather than incentives like a free market - Everything is an inversion – promote peaceful societies- carried out using violence/enforcement – make a tweet or FB post gets you arrested in the UK if it is offensive – Words have been equated to violence – so to keep a peaceful society nobody can do anything – let alone speak their mind – Irony here is that offence is taken, not given – but this is ignored to protect the faux offended – moral outrage parade Two-fold – Economics side of thing, and population control measure – Population is key for CO2 emissions - industrialising countries creates more CO2, create more people as well = more CO2 Agenda 2030 at the core – to reduce individuals' ability to create families and prosper – through economic and environmental control What is a clue that the UN doesn't want to solve climate change and instead grab control over your lives? The fact they wish to send billions off our shores to develop other countries – but in reality – goes to Green Climate fund which sends it off to HSBC and other banks to do who knows what with it – but if they actually develop these countries then more C02 will occur – but I think it will just be more lost money Truth - Most developed or rich nations have higher emissions – so by making us poor through extraction and laws that the developing nations don't have to follow - then lowers our consumptions and life quality Another clue is the immigration - wanting to increase immigration through the Global Migration Compact – NGOs Also - Increase in labour does drop wages – and wages aren't representing in the economy – transfer out is same as selling local currency – flooding and devaluing over time – equality – use the strong for the benefit of the weak, so everyone becomes the sum of all averages. All inversions - Another core feature of the SDGs is their focus on means of implementation, or the mobilization of financial resources, along with capacity building and technology. Mobilisation – Stalin was great at that SDG10 - which calls on the UN, national governments, and every person on Earth to “reduce inequality within and among countries.” agreement continues, will “only be possible if wealth is shared and income inequality is addressed.” Needs to be international socialism/communism – agreement states: national socialism to “combat inequality” domestically is not enough — international socialism is needed to battle inequality even “among” countries. “By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources,” Wealth redistribution alone, however, will not be enough. Governments must also seize control of the means of production — either directly or through fascist-style mandates – Like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, pick any dictator Agenda 2030 - “We commit to making fundamental changes in the way that our societies produce and consume goods and services,” and “governments, international organizations, the business sector and other non-state actors and individuals must contribute to changing unsustainable consumption and production patterns … to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production.” Agenda 2030 document is claiming that today's “consumption and production” patterns are unsustainable, so we'll need to get by with less. How much less? 1992 Earth Summit - Maurice Strong – Oil Billionaire founder of UNEP - “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle-class … involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and ‘convenience' foods, ownership of motor vehicles, numerous electrical appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning ... expensive suburban housing … are not sustainable.” – Sustainable development goals aim to remove these things for sustainability = lower quality of life In truth, such “lifestyles and consumption patterns” aresustainable, so long as the freedom that makes prosperity possible is not destroyed in the name of achieving “sustainability.” The UN and the environmental lobby claim that we must get by with less because there are now too many people on the planet consuming too many resources. But this rationale for accepting UN-imposed scarcity is patently false Read just a bit of history and see this has been the same message for 200 years - All had same message back in the 1920s- running out of food when we hit 3bn people – the planet would be destroyed by the 70s, and so on What solved it? Free markets – but if markets aren't allowed to solve problems as they are closed from UN polices – these predictions may come true – so the only solution is less people Which is what this all boiled down to - populations level controls Little unknown fact – the root of climate organisation was from individuals involved with eugenicists – mission success – population reduction is turning into the answer – not the first time it has happened – A history lesson time – British PM Margaret Thatcher - the first world leader to voice alarm over global warming in 1988 the same year, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – mandate to only look for human-induced climate change launch of the IPCC was not driven by science, but by eugenics - the “race science” made infamous by Adolf Hitler Thatcher got her marching orders from Sir Crispin Tickell - cousin Sir Julian Huxley the President of the British Eugenics Society in 1959-62 – Brother Aldus wrote Brave New World – design for the UNs ideals of how to run society in class Eugenics society Renamed the Galton Institute in 1989 – after Francis Galton who founded eugenics - had to rebrand after a few decades of bad press – Hitler, 60k forced sterilisations in California, New solution - beyond direct - how else could you have control over populations – control the environment they live Ideal or bad climates/environments can increase or decrease population size of animals in zoos – are we different? Decrease fertility rates and population goes down, reduce access to water or food, or to change their environment to adapt Sir Julian Huxley co-founded the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) with Prince Philip and former Nazi SS officer Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands - Tickell and cousin Huxley are both direct descendants of Thomas Henry Huxley, a.k.a. “Darwin's Bulldog” for his aggressive advocacy of Charles Darwin – Galton's half cousin – No wonder Nazi's loved Galton - he proclaimed that “Jews are parasites”, that “the worth of an individual should be calculated at birth, by his class”, and that the “unfit” should simply be eliminated; he was knighted by King Edward VII in 1909 for founding eugenics as a new ruling British imperial doctrine No surprise that Queen Elizabeth II's father King George VI and his wife supported Hitler right up until WWII. support is evident in a 1933 film in which the seven-year-old current Queen is giving the “Heil Hitler” salute along with her uncle the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII WWF founder Prince Philip has well-documented Nazi connections - his sister Sophie married a colonel in the SS on Himmler's personal staff Prince Philip has infamously desired to “return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation”. The UNEP was founded by oil and mineral businessman Maurice Strong in 1972 - An ardent population control advocate member of the Club of Rome – same place UN getting its recommendations till this day – back in the 70's and 80s when this was starting - a haven for eugenicists - Garrett Hardin who has argued for brutal population control policies, such as denying medical and nutritional assistance that would condemn millions to die of starvation and disease From the horses mouth - 1989 Thatcher's speech to the UN General Assembly - “Put in its bluntest form: the main threat to our environment is more and more people, and their activities…. Mr President, the environmental challenge which confronts the whole world demands an equivalent response from the whole world. Every country will be affected and no one can opt out.” - Eugenics and population control is the barely-hidden agenda as part of the UN – google it though and ‘conspiracy' Go further and learn about Margaret sanger – planned parenthood founder – big fan of eugenics – read some letters Think about the SDGs gone through so far – the only way to get environmental damage down to nothing is if humans don't exist – Under current technology – not possible to go 100% renewables like solar, wind - Possible to go nuclear or thorium Nature of the UN is totally undemocratic and it relies on our passive, ill-informed acceptance of ‘authorities' – what the founders wanted As this plan is covertly implemented by Governments on the behest of the UN - none of us had been informed about it or have voted for it in any way; it basically leads to the loss of personal freedom and sovereignty worldwide. Which is why I wanted to do this series – provide some clarity to the issue – that the people striking and disrupting are useful idiots - don't be afraid – just say no to being forced into this As a country, shouldn't we get a say on what laws should be adopted? Especially when it comes from other unelected international individuals who have been linked to ‘racial cleansing'? Doesn't it disqualify you to be a politician if you have duel citizenship? Cause you may act in the interest of the other country – how is that different from acting on behalf a foreign Governments? The aim of being sustainable is to collapse the economy – usher in UBI and other forms of population control Control the environment – control the finances (incomes with UBI), control the lifestyles, control the living situations In the end – don't fall for the UN's promises of absolution of guilt and solving the climate changing When they can change the Spring turning to summer, I may listen – but to give over everything to a group individuals who meet in secret, all have 4 houses, take private jets everywhere and tell us we are the problem - no thank you To close – If you are worried about the climate changing due to human activity – then do what you can control – change your behaviours – but don't ask for global socialism and repeating the horrors of history – but on a global scale – Thanks for listening, if you want to get in contact you can here https://financeandfury.com.au/contact/ The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Finance & Fury, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
"We are living through a health crisis, an economic crisis, a racial crisis, and a democratic crisis. Each would be historic on their own. All of them are connected. That they have struck together in this way just might be what compels our transformation."– Anand GiridharadasThis week’s episode is over three years in the making: my talk from Earth Frequency Festival 2017, about a revised narrative of prehistory from which we can grow new myths better suited for our times. I almost didn’t post this episode at all, even after nearly two full days of editing, because it felt tone deaf to zoom out so far and discuss topics like mass extinctions, the evolution of plant-pollinator symbiosis, my critiques of transhumanism and SpaceX, and how fish and clams represent complementary strategies for dealing with turbulent environments. But this feature-length rant erupted from me at a time that rhymes intensely with our current moment: I was scheduled to present on futurism immediately following a heart-wrenching and visceral presentation on the (then ongoing) Standing Rock protests, and it felt right then as it does now to wield what I know in service of new stories that better serve the work of social justice. After all, it is only the alienated and colonized mind that sees climate change, racism, economic inequality, and ecological devastation as separate issues.No: if we are to truly embrace our interbeing with the biosphere (and we must), then we cannot exclude other human beings — or even nonhuman sentient beings — from our maps and models of the nondual truth of who we are. One more disclaimer: This is the last unpublished talk I gave before I started work at the Santa Fe Institute, where my poetic intuitions and armchair science scholarship have been challenged to rise to far greater rigor and discernment. I regard this two-hour screed as both one of my most inspired riffs, the closest that I ever got to a Terence McKenna sermon…but it’s also full of embryonic, raw ideas that have evolved A LOT since this recording happened. I share it with you not as a completed document but as a snapshot of a story in the weaving, and I hope you hear it as the work in progress that it was and is.Thank you and I hope you’ll take a moment to read the supplementary materials below, and support the crucial social justice orgs helping protect the lives and freedom of your neighbors here on Earth, in this especially intense and pivotal moment.

Governments must also seize control of the means of production — either directly or through fascist-style mandates – Like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, pick any dictator Agenda 2030 - “We commit to making fundamental changes in the way that our societies produce and consume goods and services,” and “governments, international organizations, the business sector and other non-state actors and individuals must contribute to changing unsustainable consumption and production patterns … to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production.” Agenda 2030 document is claiming that today’s “consumption and production” patterns are unsustainable, so we’ll need to get by with less. How much less? 1992 Earth Summit - Maurice Strong – Oil Billionaire founder of UNEP - “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle-class … involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and ‘convenience’ foods, ownership of motor vehicles, numerous electrical appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning ... expensive suburban housing … are not sustainable.” – Sustainable development goals aim to remove these things for sustainability = lower quality of life In truth, such “lifestyles and consumption patterns” aresustainable, so long as the freedom that makes prosperity possible is not destroyed in the name of achieving “sustainability.” The UN and the environmental lobby claim that we must get by with less because there are now too many people on the planet consuming too many resources. But this rationale for accepting UN-imposed scarcity is patently false Read just a bit of history and see this has been the same message for 200 years - All had same message back in the 1920s- running out of food when we hit 3bn people – the planet would be destroyed by the 70s, and so on What solved it? Free markets – but if markets aren’t allowed to solve problems as they are closed from UN polices – these predictions may come true – so the only solution is less people Which is what this all boiled down to - populations level controls Little unknown fact – the root of climate organisation was from individuals involved with eugenicists – mission success – population reduction is turning into the answer – not the first time it has happened – A history lesson time – British PM Margaret Thatcher - the first world leader to voice alarm over global warming in 1988 the same year, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – mandate to only look for human-induced climate change launch of the IPCC was not driven by science, but by eugenics - the “race science” made infamous by Adolf Hitler Thatcher got her marching orders from Sir Crispin Tickell - cousin Sir Julian Huxley the President of the British Eugenics Society in 1959-62 – Brother Aldus wrote Brave New World – design for the UNs ideals of how to run society in class Eugenics society Renamed the Galton Institute in 1989 – after Francis Galton who founded eugenics - had to rebrand after a few decades of bad press – Hitler, 60k forced sterilisations in California, New solution - beyond direct - how else could you have control over populations – control the environment they live Ideal or bad climates/environments can increase or decrease population size of animals in zoos – are we different? Decrease fertility rates and population goes down, reduce access to water or food, or to change their environment to adapt Sir Julian Huxley co-founded the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) with Prince Philip and former Nazi SS officer Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands - Tickell and cousin Huxley are both direct descendants of Thomas Henry Huxley, a.k.a. “Darwin’s Bulldog” for his aggressive advocacy of Charles Darwin – Galton’s half cousin – No wonder Nazi’s loved Galton - he proclaimed that “Jews are parasites”, that “the worth of an individual should be calculated at birth, by his class”, and that the “unfit” should simply be eliminated; he was knighted by King Edward VII in 1909 for founding eugenics as a new ruling British imperial doctrine No surprise that Queen Elizabeth II’s father King George VI and his wife supported Hitler right up until WWII. support is evident in a 1933 film in which the seven-year-old current Queen is giving the “Heil Hitler” salute along with her uncle the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII WWF founder Prince Philip has well-documented Nazi connections - his sister Sophie married a colonel in the SS on Himmler’s personal staff Prince Philip has infamously desired to “return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation”. The UNEP was founded by oil and mineral businessman Maurice Strong in 1972 - An ardent population control advocate member of the Club of Rome – same place UN getting its recommendations till this day – back in the 70’s and 80s when this was starting - a haven for eugenicists - Garrett Hardin who has argued for brutal population control policies, such as denying medical and nutritional assistance that would condemn millions to die of starvation and disease From the horses mouth - 1989 Thatcher’s speech to the UN General Assembly - “Put in its bluntest form: the main threat to our environment is more and more people, and their activities…. Mr President, the environmental challenge which confronts the whole world demands an equivalent response from the whole world. Every country will be affected and no one can opt out.” - Eugenics and population control is the barely-hidden agenda as part of the UN – google it though and ‘conspiracy’ Go further and learn about Margaret sanger – planned parenthood founder – big fan of eugenics – read some letters Think about the SDGs gone through so far – the only way to get environmental damage down to nothing is if humans don’t exist – Under current technology – not possible to go 100% renewables like solar, wind - Possible to go nuclear or thorium Nature of the UN is totally undemocratic and it relies on our passive, ill-informed acceptance of ‘authorities’ – what the founders wanted As this plan is covertly implemented by Governments on the behest of the UN - none of us had been informed about it or have voted for it in any way; it basically leads to the loss of personal freedom and sovereignty worldwide. Which is why I wanted to do this series – provide some clarity to the issue – that the people striking and disrupting are useful idiots - don’t be afraid – just say no to being forced into this As a country, shouldn’t we get a say on what laws should be adopted? Especially when it comes from other unelected international individuals who have been linked to ‘racial cleansing’? Doesn’t it disqualify you to be a politician if you have duel citizenship? Cause you may act in the interest of the other country – how is that different from acting on behalf a foreign Governments? The aim of being sustainable is to collapse the economy – usher in UBI and other forms of population control Control the environment – control the finances (incomes with UBI), control the lifestyles, control the living situations In the end – don’t fall for the UN’s promises of absolution of guilt and solving the climate changing When they can change the Spring turning to summer, I may listen – but to give over everything to a group individuals who meet in secret, all have 4 houses, take private jets everywhere and tell us we are the problem - no thank you To close – If you are worried about the climate changing due to human activity – then do what you can control – change your behaviours – but don’t ask for global socialism and repeating the horrors of history – but on a global scale – Thanks for listening, if you want to get in contact you can here https://financeandfury.com.au/contact/
The great American thinker William James knew well that no intellectual pursuit is purely intellectual. His interest in the "supernormal," whether it take the form of spiritual apparition or extrasensory perception, was rooted in a personal desire to uncover the miraculous in the mundane. Indeed, the early members of the British Society for Psychical Research and its American counterpart (which James co-founded in 1884) were united in this conviction that certain phenomena which most scientists of their day considered unworthy of their attention were in fact the frontier of a new world, an avenue for humanity's deepest aspirations. In this episode, JF and Phil discuss two papers that James wrote about the first phase in the history of these research societies. James lays bare his conclusions about the reality of psychical phenomena and its scientific significance. The bizarre fact that psychical research has made little progress since its inception lays the ground for an engaging discussion on the limits of the knowable.

Thomas Henry Huxley, British biologist, educator, and famous as "Darwin's Bulldog," for championing the revolutionary naturalist's theory of evolution, offers his definition and explanation of a liberal education.
¿Cómo evoluciona la evolución? (Parte 2) La ciencia nos ha dado cuenta de una de las propuestas más revolucionarias de la historia: la teoria evolutiva, cuyo camino y construcción ha sido un verdadero mosaico de eventos. Tras haber conocido las historias y los orígenes de las ideas del pensamiento evolutivo, distintos pensadores se han dado a la tarea de analizar aquello que propusieron Darwin y Wallace. Ademas, con la llegada del estudio de la genética, los científicos entraron en acalorados debates dentro del marco de la teoría de la evolución. Por ello, invitamos a Vladimir Cachón y a Carlos Alberto Ochoa, especialistas y apasionados del tema, quienes nos cuentas esta etapa que marcó la historia. ¡Escuchen el vigésimo sexto episodio de Historias Cienciacionales! Fe de erratas (septiembre 2014): En el minuto 3, Carlos menciona a Julian Huxley y nosotros erróneamente abundamos sobre Thomas Henry Huxley. Julian fue un biólogo evolutivo del siglo XX, considerado co-fundador de la Síntesis Moderna, y quien acuñó la frase "el eclipse del darwinismo". Julian es nieto de Thomas Henry, y tal vez de ahí surgió nuestro error, o más probablemente de una distracción imperdonable y que no volverá a ocurrir. Ofrecemos disculpas por los inconvenientes que este error pudo haber causado. Invitados: Vladimir Cachón y Carlos Alberto Ochoa Créditos: Guión: Víctor Hernández Marroquín, Emiliano Rodríguez Mega, Sofía Flores Fuentes, Rodrigo Pacheco Muñoz y Alejandra Ortiz Medrano.
