I am watching this in 2020. Find it pretty much relevant. His intellect is timeless!

[@photoman2004]

TVO please post the whole interview of this!

In 1983 I read his book The global village, this is one just like George Orwell, he predicted what we see nowadays all so very well.

[@coreymckeon1867]

Prescient for today, especially 2:00 to the end

[@BenjaminRobertson]

Any chance you will post the rest of this interview? Any one know where else to find it?

Terrorists then are people who have been aggressively dismissed from the world of larger group identities, as well as individual identity I would assume. It is not so terrible that one's ordinary affairs go on unnoticed, but not one's suffering, especially if it is deep suffering. They are people who feel their suffering has been swept under the rug, to be not even a footnote in history books. A bombing can be seen as a kind of screaming into the waves of present day and ongoing narrative in order to try and make even a ripple, and if they can do that then they can be assured that they exist and that their suffering is then meaningful, as you might look into a mirror to make sure.

Yes. We are instinctively tribal in our associations. In countries experiencing the arrival of people characterized by different ethnicities, languages, religions, races and/or cultural norms, many generations are required to achieve meaningful assimilation. The original inhabitants are then changed to some extent by the newer arrivals. A new tribal structure eventually arises in which a higher (or even high) level of diversity is accepted. However, as we have experienced in the United States and many other countries, this process is far from peaceful.

1:56 "Apparently ..." #nationalism / #separatism / #identity --> marshallmcluhanspeaks.com/sayings/1977-violence-as-a-quest-for-identity.php >> The present volume to this point might be regarded as a gloss on a single text of Harold Innis: "The effect of the discovery of #printing was evident in the savage #religious #wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Application of #power to communication industries hastened the consolidation of vernaculars, the rise of #nationalism , #revolution , and new outbreaks of #savagery in the twentieth century." > By surpassing writing, we have regained our wholeness, not on a national or cultural but cosmic plane.

@TRESBELA He's talking about the people of the world being brought together by technology and the media. Read his book and look around you.

[@douglasfairmeadow]

Which one?

[@jaiBavet]

you need to read his stuff or study communication or philosophy like Ayn Rand. It refers to group think or collectivism in which altruism(self destruction/self sacrifice) is the dominate moral philosophy. In the respect society crumbles because individual rights are not respected and they are feared.
