I’m sorry when you were speaking about a regime which is good at avoiding revolution through repression, patronage and escape valves were you referring to Iran or the current United States government

[@MrEmreWawa]

while America is no angel, you can't conflate them with Iran's government, at least not with a straight face.

[@SeegerInstitute]

@@MrEmreWawa I don’t think we need to compare the two. I think all we need to do is acknowledge that our government has failed us and that the experiment in a multi faceted people living together in harmony right now is not working all that well and our financial system has corrupted the government to the point that it’s only exacerbating the situation. It ran as a 5000 year old culture and they’re bound together by a stagnant religious belief but at least they believe in something. We need something to believe in right now something to bring us together. I think America has an opportunity and a responsibility to lead the world out of this mess, and that, by focusing on environmental resilience, rebuilding a degraded planet from an environmental standpoint, and learning how to be of service to all non-human life we have a best chance of creating a common threadthroughout our people, and finding a way to come together to work together to live together and create a better world

The whole point is that the kill switch won't work because the AI will manage to sow disagreement among the population over whether the kill switch should be activated or not, and will keep it that way until it has figured out a way to take full control. If you see how easily humans fall prey to division and disagreement that should be a walk in the park for a hyper intelligent, super sophisticated AI system. There may be a handful of smart people who know what's going on and try to warn everyone but they will be cast aside as crackpots and nutcases that can safely be ignored. And if not, the AI will do its magic to ruin their credibility. Bottom line is it's foolish to think something less intelligent (the collective of the human race) can control something much more intelligent (future AI).

[@joiedevie3901]

In the segment "What are the policies that can save us from ourselves?", which begins at 39:01, how does Zakaria possibly hold up Tony Blair and Bill Clinton up as exemplars in his response? The very seeds of discontent to which Zakaria attributes today's disaffection of working class Americans can be traced directly to NAFTA, which was a Clinton initiative and implementation. Moreover by glossing over this fact and harping so much on "woke" (a term that Zakaria, like everyone else who uses it, fails to define beyond meaning anything he personally does not like) he obfuscates where the focus needs to be to address the substantive issue Prof G's question raises. Zakaria asserts that "it is all cultural and not at all economic"; well, clearly for him it is. Amazing how someone can have had such a front row seat for the world's events and still get it so wrong. He might have tried listening harder when his hero Clinton coined the aphorism "it's the economy, stupid!" It seems Clinton had pundits posing as historians like Zakaria specifically in mind. Any wise political leader--or pundit--knows, the fact is that you have to pay attention to BOTH.

Fareed never talks about Israel's brutal occupation, very typical.

[@Hexanitrobenzene]

He mentioned it lightly, in some other words - "if you take someone's land, you are legally responsible for [the plight of] them". Overall, I think Fareed's opinion on the conflict is quite reasonable - he acknowledges that the two state solution is the only solution, that occupation (in some other words) is unsustainable, that the current Israel's strategy in Gaza is out of proportion, and most importantly - that Hamas is first and foremost an idea, not people, bunkers and guns, and you cannot destroy it with a military solution only. Of course, we would like a much more categorical position, but I guess that's the best we can get in the current US political climate.

Galloway argues that Israel's caualties on Oct 7 justify their response. Many more Palestinians have been killed by the IDF over the last few decades. So why not take into account their right to respond to atrocities committed against them? When you don't look at both sides as humans deserving of respect and equality, you get Oct 7. If the US and Israel had truly wanted to create more peaceful coexistence in this region, it could have been done well in advance of Oct 7.

[@aesopshair6690]

The whole interview is a very 'western-centric' perspective on how great the achievements are of respective colonial powers; it looks at the 'winners', particularly the US and conflate victory with being right. The Middle East is testament to how horrifically perverse American foreign policy is and how it only benefits a small group of individuals to the detriment of the many. Hundreds of thousands of people if not millions have been killed by US policies over the past couple of decades across Syria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and other neighboring countries. The current situation in Palestine is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the current global regime; inflicting their ideology on any country that is militarily weaker.

Fareed is often perceptive in foreign affairs, but he has an imperfect understanding of the US Constitution. His dogmatic statement that politics has no place in (organized) religion is badly inverted. All kinds of beliefs, attitudes, and fantasies can be found in spirituality or religion, and always will be in a country with protected religion. It is instead (organized) religion that has NO place in the established structure of governance, its Constitution, or its enforced statutes in a country that specifically, deliberately disestablished organized religion after many decades of its discrimination, destruction and death.

I'm fascinated that everyone is questioning Israel's understanding of cost/benefit and geopolitical grand strategy. Why are we never encouraging Hamas and the Palestinians to do the same calculus? Sounds like Israel has been gaining strength these many year while Palestinians keep backing themselves further and further into the corner. I don't think it's Israel that needs to reevaluate its strategy. We have a word for when civilizations try to murder one another: genocide. What do we call it when a society commits suicide? The left rhetorically calls it genocide, but it's clearly something else. Israel remembers the ovens of Europe - genuine genocide - too keenly to be fooled out of their own security by rhetorical slight of hand. I think they will grind the Palestinians to the nub if forced to. Any rational person; any rational society would do the same thing.

Massacring 186,000 civilians is hardly a method for “de-radicalization.” If you truly desire peace and security for Israel, you should oppose apartheid, racism, occupation, the 18-year blockade of Gaza, and other oppressive measures, such as restrictions on movement, arbitrary detention, and daily killings in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Well, Professor G is a strong Zionist. The other person never speaks up for the Palestinians; unfortunately, he's only there to sell his book. If you listen to all the podcasts and everything that Professor G is involved in, you'll notice how demeaning and unkind he is towards Palestinians. As far as he's concerned, all Palestinians are Hamas. It's also concerning that he doesn't understand the reality of living in an apartheid state, where people are abused, killed, and currently facing genocide. It's a historical fact that resistance is a natural response in such situations. Just look at other apartheid countries where people had to resist to free themselves. He labels Hamas all as terrorists, but in reality, they are fighting for their freedom. While there may be some terrorists among them, it shouldn't discredit the entire Palestinian cause. We should stand with Palestine and support their fight for freedom. Unfortunately, if you defend Palestinians, you are often labeled as anti-Semitic in his rhetoric. I agree with many things he says, and I think he's a brilliant person, but his perspective on Palestine and Israel is deeply disappointing.
