Conversations with History: Michael Hardt

[@tomsega]

Whoever wrote the music deserves a grammy

[@meanwhilemania]

This is the first interviewee on Conversations with History who gives answers similar to the way I would; for example, if I were asked about the influence my parents had on me, I wouldn't know. Many intellectuals seem good with autobiography, though. This is unique.

[@RichardCorral]

great interview, the second book Multitude is also a must read, hopeful, realistic, great stuff.

[@BfhKewlVids]

Michael Hardt is my uncle, this is fucking hilarious...

[@newearthclaypottery]

Mr. Kreisler, Great inteviews overall. May I suggest that you use fewer leading questions that sound almost like multiple choice. At least start out that way; then if you find response lacking , lead on. I would like to hear more from philosophers. Thanks for the series. Bill

Skip the beginning, avoiding unnecessary data about Michael's life, and start here: 12:58

[@dloyfwaymeather977]

Thank u

[@toonlinrighthere]

Thx

[@boeatsbrains]

@matchbox555 notice it's a conversation...merely a conversation.

[@emotionalinvalid]

@ozzylaza agree. maybe he was constipated or something. Robert Fisk is one of the greatest. Hope you went back to the Fisk video.

[@Zatzzo]

Who said that?

[@cloudcatcher18]

lol the first 3 minutes are super awkward

[@toonlinrighthere]

Tricia Lynch i see lol so fucking ankward

[@DukeUniversity08]

Got it. I didn't get to read the whole original post, just the excerpt, due to the low ratings it received.

[@DukeUniversity08]

The comment about his education - I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it meant. Just like George Bush's parents, Hardt's parents "most likely paid his way through college." I can't believe I have to explain this.

[@ozzylaza]

People can hate on me because of this, but did anyone else get it really hard to engage with things he was saying? He was very short in the beginning with his answers. Its almost like its very hard for him to express himself, which of course is weird to me being that he is a prof of literature. I got to this video because I was on the Robert Fisk video

[@bapyou]

Huh? Which comment? Who? When? Where?

[@Smitty150]

Glad you could dress up for the interview, Mike. The old "MOT" thing continues.

[@AnaLuizaHella]

Don't forget that in an interview you are answering someone. A bright interviewer is the one who has the skills to get the best of people and Harry Kreisler asked numerous silly questions and was incapable of conducting the interview. I agree that the video is not a good one.

[@bapyou]

Confussed? What's "confussed?"

[@hamiltonjsh]

sorry but can we drop the intro music, PLZ!!!!

[@Giovannisenzaterra]

mmmhh , I suspect "Iperium" has been written by Antonio Negri more than by him

[@Distortion0]

@automaticflow In America, at least, both parties are technically "liberal". Democrats represent Social Liberalism while Republicans represent Neoliberalism.

[@Distortion0]

@smileyfacemug Ummm...argument please? In what way does either party substantially differ from the tennants of John Lock? Aka, the founder of liberalism.

[@fastronaut]

"Time to stop listening to intellectuals who fool us. Time to put our faith into a powerful leader who we can depend on." Yeah. Like Hitler.

[@DukeUniversity08]

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what the comment meant.

[@tomsega]

@nacho862 - I don't think American's are stupid, I never really inferred that. What I would say is that British people have a stronger, culturally ingrained sense of irony, which might be down to bad weather and historic class divisions, but is nevertheless apparent.

[@tomsega]

So irony isn't lost on every American

[@Distortion0]

@smileyfacemug Yeah, you definitely have a good point.

[@boeatsbrains]

@matchbox555 He's got some intriguing things to say, but mostly in other videos; this is a good example of pretentiousness among intellectuals.

[@123456789tube100]

why do you say this?

[@smileyfacemug]

@Distortion0 That's not true

[@cobbieism]

the host never creates new questions....hahaha

[@farzanderastineiran]

oh man if his lectures are like his interviews I think I'd just skip his course

[@toonlinrighthere]

بخت النصر خراسانی 555555555

[@Smitty150]

Gaaaaaaaaa! Yes, boots!

[@pilkingtonphil]

Yeah, but I don't really think he is. To be honest, and I've seen another interview with him where he comes across in the same way, he seems to be more interested in talking about his own political activity and the way he relates to it rather than talking about world socio-economic systems. Seems to me to be a bit of a self-obsessed charlatan really...

[@AnaLuizaHella]

I wish the interviewer was another person since Harry Kreisler makes a lot of questions about details that are not relevant.

[@Distortion0]

@matchbox555 KZbin is a bad place to get philosophy. It's a lot more efficient just to read the books.

[@twoteesful]

oh man, Hardt looks super uncomfortable

[@fiasco2003]

A perfect example of useless, stuttering, word creation, bereft of fundamental meaning, insight or any genuine intention to communicate ideas. This reminds me of the output of the "random postmodernist generator".

[@bapyou]

It is dreadful (the music).

[@lbb2rfarangkiinok]

yeah, freaking awful.....but thanks for the tip on 12:58

[@lbb2rfarangkiinok]

yeah, i didn't make it past 5 minutes...how does that fart smell Hardt?

[@pilkingtonphil]

Why can't this man succesfully finish a point or keep to a question topic?

[@bapyou]

You're being sarcastic, I'm guessing.

[@AnaLuizaHella]

For me it is just an example of "How not to conduct an interview". "-Why do you think the book had such an impact?" Asks Harry. Jesus! Gimme a break. I'll stop watching it and watch a serious interview.

[@matchbox555]

this guy is saying absolutely nothing he never actually makes a point about anything hes pretentious and trying hard to be esoteric

[@cobbieism]

very uneasy response

[@Deleuzeshammerflow]

hardt is spineless. the self evidence of this statement excuses me from any explanation as to why.
