Jon Meacham and Evan Thomas in conversation at the 2023 New Orleans Book Festival

[@rachelerynkalish2207]

I adore Jon Meacham...such a wise, thoughtful, charming counterpoint to what we saw last night w TFG spewing his lies...to highlight the spiritual conscience of Lincoln is something I can't hear enough of right now...and from a very inspiring and compassionate soul.

[@veritas6335]

Who is TFG?

[@robertdean7950]

Brilliant!

[@tfajsh]

Mr. Meacham is a wonderful brilliant historian. I would love to sit down with him for a few minutes and talk.

[@mljones655]

One can have a moral code/philosophy without being religious.

[@veritas6335]

Certainly. Religions are cults. All religions, and some better than others. Knowing good from evil has nothing to do with organized religion.

What I find fascinating… online platforms like Amazon and book publishers like penguin and statistical analysis companies like Pevals… indeed… cancer reality layers… batteries and social break out intersection platforms… Social interactions like X., digital applications, public policy pizza discussions… let’s just say… lock systems of better learning…. This has depth and places like New Orleans could sure use some brightness in the blind spots. Salt water intrusion and multi sector influence. I love books and I love the vast digital applications of better community engagement. In order for these sorts of data thick realizations to properly age and grow… and dance… translational medicine and energy/infrastructure need to create a baseline and space safe and arcs…. It’s very much workable… and a lot of fun…. #LoveEVICTShate #ironsharpensiron #emrtorealvalue #fractionatedimprovement #homeostaticworld

Where Is Justice And Respect Between The Country

[@jonmeador8637]

Faith necessary for transcendence? It’s an obstacle to it, the Foundets thought.

[@mljones655]

Faith & religion are different things.

[@veritas6335]

What?

[@JaneHallstrom1]

You know the story of Stacy Abrams and her parents getting to the governors mansion to honor her as her high school’s valedictorian and being turned away? Frederick Douglas - not the last.

Who Can Come Back To You . ? Sure What I Was Talked By Whom I Was Talked ?

[@judykinsman3258]

John, every religious group chooses its own interpretation of the Bible, gods power & teachings.

[@veritas6335]

There is no "god." That's a fantasy that's based on ignorance. There is goodness and there is evil and we all know the difference and how to recognize either when we see it. Most humans are too ignorant to understand that there is no old bearded fellow sitting up there in the clouds, there are only people living here on this planet who know perfectly well how to choose between good and evil. Some make the right choice, others do not.

[@ducaleadan39]

When Is being Talked The Religion It Is You Those Who Works And Based On what Ever They Need To Do Are You Your Self. How You Hate Muslim Religion Is unpredictable

[@epluribusu9430]

I'm a 42 year immigrant from the Third World. God bless America for taking me in. That African man at the end is an ingrate. He should know better. He should ask that question in South Africa which is now forcefully violently expelling Zimbabwean immigrants. Yes, not even Mandela country can stay on a righteous path in that man's birthplace yet he sees fit to publicly lecture America. And he's secure doing so! But seems ignorant of that reality and African reality.

[@rosalindmartin4469]

Hm. Thank you.

[@klissell]

YOu may not agree, but that is what makes America great. We can say what we think to make the country better. Just look at Fox "news" commentators. They say stupid things every night.

[@omzodiaw29]

That african man suffered lots of racism in this country You didn’t understand my question

[@clivebroadhead4857]

French military victories are quite prevalent if you remove 20th century from the snide assertion made by Mr Evans (Napoleon et al. not to mention the dead at Verdun). if he were to look closer to home recent defeats of the United States are manifest on our television screens and in most cases predicable. Even Mr Lincoln was involved with far from united states with victories seen as Pyrrhic at best,

[@veritas6335]

If you have some point to make, learn to construct a sentence and, dare I say, even a paragraph. . What you write makes no sense at all and is basically gobbledygook. .

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

Jon underestimates the importance of a major quality of the unified group he decries: they are all old, white, and male. (And I don't know, but I very strongly suspect that they disproportionately live in states their children have moved away from. Old and lonely, depressed and available to be roused into anger.) The good news is, a bit more than 7% of them die every year.

[@davidtrindle6473]

Lots of MAGA females

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

@@davidtrindle6473 Two kinds: "good" wives of MAGAts and post-monopausals -- dried up old shrews, doncha think?

[@veritas6335]

Stupid remark. I know a great many old, white males and none of them are either lonely or depressed. The ones I know lead cheerful, productive lives.

[@debbieg867]

Jon Meacham you are looking too much at the past and you have no clue what is happening now. Pray to God to open up your eyes to the truth. Otherwise you will have a very rude awakening soon.

[@ducaleadan39]

Muslim Were Not Know How Yiu Hate Their Religion. . Muslim Dont Care What Ither Peaple Worship. But Not You .

[@miketracy6024]

Jon Meacham is very full of himself.

[@mrjuvy49]

Really, that's why he has President Biden on speed dial, he just might save our country if we listen.

[@veritas6335]

Not at all. He's just intelligent, well educated and highly accomplished, which is a mixture that you appear to be unfamiliar with and therefore resent.

[@mrjuvy49]
