Steven Pinker and David Wolpe

Toward Healing or Conflict? Assessing Religion's Power to Shape the 21st Century

[@cluistube]

As a guy raised in a trailer park there wasn't much in the way of an appreciation for history. But one thing I recall pretty clearly is every like 100 years or so the world, or some portion of it, finds the idea of eliminating Jews pretty compelling. So when the Jewish folks I know start telling me they are more nervous than usual, I tend to listen. I don't need a semester of education to see the rationale behind that worry. Great talk from these two. Love them both, and in my opinion they are some of the best people on earth to disagree with. :)

Wonderful to listen to, and two individuals who always give me hope, at a time where mass hysteria appears, once more, the currency of the day.

David Wolpe asked the question on my mind about Pinker’s book Enlightenment Now and I expected him to answer the way that he did. “Vermin who control the world.” Great phrase from Wolpe that led into an interesting question and then an interesting answer from Pinker.

Mr. Pinker needs to see the film The Great Year it is about the Precession of the Equinoxes. The cycle declines from the higher age to a dark age and upward again to a higher age. Currently we have moved away from the dark age and on the upward arc to the next higher age. This cycle repeats at a higher level each time until whatever needs to be accomplished is and the cycles start over again. So Mr, Pinker check out The Great Year film.

What do you think about healing after an NDE?

SDS pls talk about this Rabbi, I think every era has its trend and necessity.

Doubling of the average lifespan is more about fewer infants dying than it is about the average teenager looking forward to 50 more years, rather than 20 more years. (Not to disparage the fall in infant mortality. That is a good thing. It's just that the statistic might be giving people a distorted view of what life was like hundreds or thousands of years ago.)

Realllly frustrating that the audio quality is so poor…..

In Communism also intellectuals were under under threat. For some reason there is a fear and resentment of intellectuals.

muchos hablantes hoy en día se ha en reflejar más que conversos al judaismo como decendientes...pero la historia los científicos los estudiosos que el judaismo real biblico es semita de sangre arabe porque también los hebreos verdaderos fueron semitas hoy sangre arabe los hebreos los fenicios cananeos nacen en peninsula arabiga

Just started watching. I hope they ask if anti-zionism can be divorced from antisemitism.

Jew is an ethnic group. It is lame discussion to bring everything to religion.

[@gonx9906]

the rabbi may be from harvard, but he exposes the same lame arguments that you can find in any "does god exist?" debate from the religious stance.
