I disagree with you on two points. Corrupted people seek out unlimited power. Hitler and Stalin were fully corrupted prior to gaining any power. Power only magnifies an existing pathology, it does not create it. Second, as a Buddhist, I would argue that Buddhism does little to mitigate the predatory nature of people. Japan is nominally a Buddhist country, but the samurai (for centuries) and Imperial Japan of the 1940's were extremely pathological. Sri Lanka and Myanmar have both recently gone through brutal internal wars. China is an excellent example of Buddhism not preventing endless wars. Detachment can be twisted into lack of concern for your enemy.

It's an irony this man, as an anthropologist, doesn't realize that his words will hold absolutely no meaning in about 100 years.

Anecdotally, DVW dismissed John Rutter’s first attempts at composition (according to JR who reminded DVW of this in another recorded conversation) - but DVW didn’t seem to have remembered.

One extraordinary system of exercise I have learnt is taijiwuxigong; a mix of tai chi and qi gong, that uses the vibration of the earth that has a gravity-up force that one can channel thru the back of the legs, up the spine, over the shoulders and down and out thru the finger tips. The tendons and ligaments lightly stretch, opening up joints and intervetebral spaces, creating a nice loose skeleton rid of pathogenic factors, fresh fluids, and a more focussed mind. I'd be very happy to lend you the founder's original exercise book if you ever want to have a flick through (ive a little film playlist on my homepage here - stuff snatched from all over). Few teachers about the UK, HQ is in Belgium, run by his daughter. Dr Shen Hongxun, the founder, was originally from Shanghai - Roman Catholic family and he trained as a western doctor too. Great contribution to healing.

फ़ेरि यो दिन हरु फर्केर आए हुन्थ्यो जस्तो लाग्छ मलाई । कहाँ गयो होला यस्तो रमाइलो दिनहरु । सम्झेर ल्याउदा कति दुख लाग्छ । समय र परिस्थिति ले कहाँ कहाँ पुराई दियो ।कति रातभर अनिदो बसेर बित्थियो । अहिले गाउँ मा सुनसान छ 😂😂

Fantastic, thought-provoking lecture. But the video is interrupted before it is finished. There is also a gap between Parts I and II. Is there a way to upload corrected verions? Thanks!

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie in the 1980s-1990s at Acorn Computers. I used to manage all but the most major Events for Acorn and watched as Sophie blossomed personally. If you are still out there Sophie, Happy Christmas and fond remembrances!

Would you argue that schools limit creativity or act as an outlet to cultivate itself

The original white makeup, oshiroi was made with white lead or rice powder. The lead was outlawed in 1934. The lead illuminated the face of a geisha as the only lighting available was candlelight.

More on this topic please Professor! Perhaps detailed sociological perspectives on retirement in post-industrial societies. Very relevant for these times.

I was hoping you would touch on the strand of Puritanism that made it to the New World. We just had our Thanksgiving holiday, which means excesses of consumerism -- another contradiciton that arose not out of Puritans of New England, but more specifically Roger Williams and the liberty of conscious that he brought to Rhode Island Charter. This was a mere couple of decades before Locke's life, liberty, and property. All these arrows of time point back to Puritans of Cambridge.
