I found out about Adrian Shine thanks to a Tumblr post some years ago and I've been fascinated with his studies ever since! This was an interesting lecture

For the love of all that is holy, RSE - hire an engineer to optimise the audio of your videos, 90% of them are completely illegible without noise-canceling headphones or jailbreak-soundboosters! It is downright embarrassing for a prestigious institute to upload things in this state when GenZ videoessayists working from their parents' basements have better audio mastering on their content.
Loch Ness is so many problems . OK, there is probably nothing there. However the sonar scan years ago did not include the shoreline or shallow areas . That is around fifth miles of shoreline by my rough calculations . All those boats with sonar going may have driven something to shallow areas just to get out of the way ... The dna tests show 20 % UNKNOWN results ... That is not insignificant ... Adrian Shine is a wonderful man who gave his utmost with what he had to work with. Today we have drones, aerial balloons , that can stay aloft and hover over anything interesting . night vision , Maybe get a overhead shot ... However it is probably not there at Loch Ness. The life form people claim to see was very successful and nature has a way to reward success . No dinosaurs, just a evolving copy type because it was so good at adapting ... At any rate I would not be going diving at Loch Ness... Survival has a way of voting...
Thanks, everyone participating! An inviting oasis in a deepening spiritual desert. 'All' is not lost - just some of us are! Anyone interested in a quick (17 minute) summary of John Coltrane's spirituality, and (related) philosophy of music, might try this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ip3sR7-mSu0.html . I learned a lot from both Cornel West's presentation, and the video linked in this comment.
For someone who appreciates to the point of praising, the art of improvisation, Dr. West's talks always sound the same to me. Dyson has cornered the art of 'performative Blackness', while West has done so with 'romanticizing Blackness'.
In spite of the deepening divide, what appears common and unspoken between the two opposing sides, made of liberalism and fascism, is their shared devotion to the capitalist world order. To an empire, but not ruled by a singular tyrant, instead by many many intelligent guardians of our ‘sacred democracy’. While one side prefers the velvet glove of hegemonic consensual rule, the other readily goes for the iron fist of repression and violence. But both sides are naturalized by unquestionable foundations and false identity, in hindsight framed by the Intelligentsia, for decades now, also serving the objectives of the global ruling class. Like an eternally self-consuming serpent, it is continuous as a ‘forever show’. Cornell West and his Jazz Soaked Balderdash is part of that show!
The only chance for the American government to get out of the business of war forever is with this man in the presidency. It's a shame that Cornel West doesn't have the slightest chance of winning, and the masses are going more for Biden and Trump.
Jazz is a label that Duke Ellington refused to use in identifying his compositions. As a musician, I’ve well studied the history of this word and it annoys me to keep hearing references to it in your campaign. This country is in need of serious and real adherence to the goals and promises made for a better today and tomorrow for all people. It is my wish that we all become more accountable and responsible in our actions and not pretentious and fanciful in our thinking. “Trying To Make It Real, Compared To What?”
The only chance for the American government to get out of the business of war forever is with this man in the presidency. It's a shame that Cornel West doesn't have the slightest chance of winning, and the masses are going more for Biden and Trump. That means, more and more war.
The last question raises the question of the problem of this particular occurrence of genocide everyone is focused on, but also the causes of it. If it is truly genocide, what should be the consequences of those responsible for it? Humanity has putt itself in a very tough situation. We set standards, but how do/can we enforce compliance to them? It raises questions about the concept of "tough love".
Waht i've noticed is the people who are pro this agenda, are those people who pretened to be white or scottish but are actually from the hook nosed variety. Trying to destroy us and our nations from within thru politics and hate speech laws to stop the truth from been spoken in any context. Only want patriotism seen or framed as were a bunch of extreme fanaticals or somethin, riduculous times😂😂😂😂
Ty for this info session. I have suffered from endo and adenosis since I was a child. Wasn't diagnosed until 25. Hysterectomy at 31. Was infertile until laproscopy at 25. Multiple surgeries and passed around from doc to doc. Mental instability out the wazoo and gaslighting from everyone in my life including my trusted doctors.
The Scottish People Don't Need there Permission( Not Know" The Torrie's Broke the Law to " Get Brexit done" What a Con. Scotland will be part of the EU.
It still fascinates me how out-of-touch British society is with understanding what the EU completely entails. First, you have to stop using the term, ‘ex-pat,’ though.
I expect now, in 2023 this must look very embarrassing to those that made this video. Europe is in recession and looks politically irrelevant on the world stage. The UK has created AUKUS and over 70 free trade deals as well as membership of the trans pacific trade pact. The NHS is getting even more than the figure on the side of the bus, please google NHS annual budget. There covid vaccine response was embarrassing and unlawful as well as their Ukraine response. We are now the only genuine fully democratic sovereign country in the whole of Western Europe. Oh yes, I nearly forgot , we are selling more things to the eu than before the referendum.
What the EU empire lost. The list below is just some of the things the eu is desperately going to miss- This is what the EU empire loses- Privileged access to the 6th largest economy in the world The worlds number one financial centre EU’s number one trading partner One half of The EU’s two UN big five seats EU’s most capable armed forces, by far. One of the EU’s two nuclear armed powers. The world’s number one soft power. EU’s most creative and inventive member. World leading film industry, 23% global box office take. EU’s largest diplomatic network. EU’s largest tech hub. The world’s no,1 city for fintec investment EU,s only member of the five “eyes”. EU’s most capable intelligence services. EU’s largest job creating economy 4 of the global top 10 universities. EU has none. EU,s second largest net contributor, £15 billion annually. The world’s third largest food exporter EU’s largest maker of satellites. Our guaranteed IMF, world trade, G7, 8 or 20 agreement. The EU’s second largest foreign aid budget. Any last remaining, minute amount of credible democratic legitimacy. Lots and lots of free fish Number of noble prize winners Uk 2nd in Olympic medal chart. And much ,much more besides. Instead the eu fantasy of becoming an empire of global clout it leaves just a worn out husk of a barren organisation. At least one European country should be a genuine democracy, thank goodness it will once again Britain.
The British psyche cannot contend with the fact its no longer an empire the idea a medium sized economy could isolate itself on the geopolitical stage and expect growth let alone its neighbors and other nations submitting to its stipulations. Why should you be the one to benefit? i hope you realize if your a brexiter the decline of British influence was your choice and your children and children's children well face the consequences of your hubris
All a delusion. Perhaps listen to one of the many talks on YT to UK based think tanks by Peter Foster Editor of the FT (a conservative sober paper) talking about his book ‘Brexit What Went Wrong’. The UK has from long ago not been a great power, in fact the empire started ending post WW1 and definitely post WW2 and now as a lone middling power with a shrinking economy (4% reduction in GDP by 4 yrs according to the OBR) and it has continued shrinking. You display a fatal misunderstanding of the UK’s place in the world. World trade is and always has been a jungle where the big gorillas make the rules. Today the big gorillas are the US and China and the EU. The UK is now a rule taker if it wants to trade.
Since the end of the communism the secret agenda of france, Germany and the eu has been to bring Russia into some kind of special relationship with the eu. This would provide the eu with the two things it lacks, energy security and military clout. The blueprint for doing this was to be the coal and steal agreement that saw the birth of today’s eu. Instead of coal and steel, read oil and gas. Create a physical network of pipelines that builds mutual reliance upon each other that therefore leads to slowly building further, firmer ties. In order to facilitate this move and reassure the Russians the eu states have to disconnect from NATO, Hense the move to an eu defence force minus the US, UK and Canada. Germany , France and the commission made a serious strategic mistake as putin is not playing their game. The whole plan now blown apart by Russian aggression. Initially france and Germany hoped it would be over quickly. Germany first response was 5000 helmets, macron just wanted to talk to putin. They have had to be dragged into abandoning their former plan and made to get on side. The eu, Germany and France have humiliated themselves now the eastern member states have sussed them out. The moral authority has shifted away from France and Germany. The eu, France and Germany have nowhere to go.
There is absolutely so much more people could and should spend their time fighting for… how about fight for the living and the future I not wrongfully convicted 🧙 😂
Is literally *everything* that's critical - or simply questioning - about vaccines and vaccine policy "disinformation" or "misinformation"? Until Mariana Spring clears that up, then she'll be the target of the criticism she calls "trolling" and "misogyny". Indeed, the one-sidedness of her stance makes her seem like a spokesperson for the state - if via the BBC. So I don't believe she targeted because she's a woman. I believe that she's targeted because she herself has targeted literally millions of people as "conspiracy theorists". Sure, some men have targeted because she's a woman - and I've see such things myself. However, this group is a tiny minority of the critics of Mariana Spring. Still, it pays political dividends - and advances her career - to claim that all Spring's critics are misogynists and conspiracy theorists.
