In 1970, a one-time roommate of mine was friends with Jeremiah Newton. In those days, Jeremiah was skinny and pretty, witty and smart. With his shag-cut, dark brown hair, he looked like a finer-featured Mick Jagger, the Mick Jagger of "Performance" or "Gimme Shelter". I have an indelible memory of Jeremiah making his entrance at Columbia University's gay dances. He would time his arrival so he was ascending Earl Hall's curving stairs to the dance floor, just as the third verse of "Sympathy for the Devil" was playing. One first heard, then saw Jeremiah, sometimes in red lipstick (though not in drag), coming up the stairs, singing that song's falsetto "Woo-Hoo"' chorus. Woo-Hoo Let me please introduce myself Woo-Hoo I'm a man of wealth and taste Woo-Hoo
The problem I have with the term 'limitarianism' is that the elite always find a way to limit everyone else while they continue to artificially amass unlimited amounts for themselves. Money should circulate, it should never have been commodified, and the entire economic system in place now should be reversed until every single human being on the planet is middle class...with no one having more than 10% of money or value at any given time than anyone else. Corporations need to be restructured entirely...they are not people, and their value should be based on how many people are employed, not how much "profit" is accumulated. No more bonuses, just equal sharing of all money so it continues to circulate.
Resurged interest in Candy Darling brought me to you. Thank you for the interview and the research and writing on Candy. This is unexpected inspiration for my writing on the cultural history of local a cross-dresser and the closeted gay community that I lived with before Stonewall. I could see then the hell they went through. I will remember you Cynthia.
Very Happy, Limitarianism seems so obvious. The Invisible hand punches the consumer with patents, taxing labor more then wealth, the current system seems to be evolving towards one of slavery. Every year a higher percentage of the world profit is made just by moving money around or applying other weird rules. Somehow you can make a number in a financial system grow and that making you richer in a society without any contribution. The idea of Limitarianism isn't entirely new Plato suggested a maximum of 4 times the wealth of the poorest person (or something like that).
I've met John Mauceri in a non musical context back when he was in charge of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and he is a wonderfully gracious man. I like John McWhorter very much ever since he would appear from time to time on Red Eye, and his collaboration with Glenn Loury is something I look forward to all the time. If I could have a dinner party with these two Johns, and talk music for an hour or two, that would be fantastic. And I think I'll buy this book!
The problem with limitariansm is that it might take attention away from radical systemic change... I think it's a very good conversation and a valuable approach. But systemic change has to be an absolute priority.
@@jamesmay3941 ow, yes... I should read it. I just think that the approach of removing rentier-incomealltogether is much more fruitful in the first place... and I do not really hear that, for example interest-free credit, abolition of the financial sector and the stockmarket... ending landlordism: the big three. I hope to talk to her one day. She lives next to my country... so you never know.
Perhaps, in a reductionist view, individual mindsets need to be formulated in a way that supports cultural change. Cultural change, then forms political aspirations. To me, it all boils down to independence versus interdependence.
Without extreme wealth we we would have zero free speech. Or Space X. We would lack Soros and his hatred for the people. The chance for an Elon outweighs.
What is the number considered extreme? And isn’t there extreme wealth gaps between government and the private sector? It’s better to concentrate on corruption….extreme corruption in government is far more harmful to a community than extreme wealth gaps without corruption.
😮 this gentleman entrepreneur who asks the question at the end of the talk who is on the boundary between unconscious acceptance of what he has been told and believed all his life, and the deeper understanding of his psyche and what motivated him to compete successfully.
The idea of the limits of wealth and poverty is the #4th social principle of the world religion I belong to. However I haven’t had or noticed a discussion about the limitations of weather.
Socialism has failed everywhere tried. Some Pigs always more equal than others above any law. It isn't true that Jesus loved everyone. He clearly opposed the swine and dogs of corrupt government who must not be named unless one loses one's head like John.
No, the super rich decide the economy. They decide where financial capital resides, they decide what your wages are going to be and they decide what state laws and regulations don't apply to them or their interests. We vote for the government, but what the government does is managed by the super rich.
Limitarianism! A fairer and more just society for all. With great accountability comes great liberation! Thank you for this wonderful talk! Beautifully spoken. Jung and Marx would love this notion. As i suspect will we all!
I fell across her songs about 6 or 7 years ago. I'm entranced by her, her music and her story. My prayer that she found peace will be answered one day. As I thank her for everything.
I have read translators preface in his book, which reeks of narcissism. All the bragging how his translation is better. That put me off. Half of his interviews are disabled comments on RU-vid. And the book’s cover is similar to the one of Brad’s translation edition which is very dishonest. I can’t judge which translation is better without reading but I’ll go with Brad’s edition anyway.
Curious to know if Anna shot the images for the i/o concert visuals for "In Your Eyes"? What an interesting project and glad that I found this (huge fan of your dear Dad).
While conducting my Mayflower ancestry research, I have recently discovered that Joanne Woodward is a 3rd Cousin, through my Cushman Line. What a neat find!
I’ll never forget seeing Newman, Woodward, and Clea at a horse show. In the early 1980s, my then-husband got us tickets to the International Horse Show that took place every year in NYC. I was a native NYC person, but grew up outside of Manhattan, although we went there frequently to visit relatives and go to the theater. But despite a childhood devoted to all things horses, I’d never made it to the big show in Madison Square Garden. We had good seats, on the aisle, and settled in to wait for the start. Just before it did, I saw a gray-haired man in a powder blue, vee-necked sweater make his way up the aisle. As he got closer, I suddenly realized it was Paul Newman. I elbowed my husband, whispered and nodded my head toward the aisle - not pointing, God forbid, I instinctively knew not to make an obvious fuss - in time for him to see, just as Mr. Newman went past us. He walked with his head slightly down, clearly communicating that he didn’t want to be disturbed, and no one bothered him, at least not there. He came and went several times without being intruded upon. I checked the program and found Clea’s name listed among the participants, among junior riders. A bit later, I saw Joanne Woodward stand up where she and Mr. Newman were seated, in the front part of our section. She was impeccably dressed in a black suit, which set off her graying hair beautifully. She seemed more formally dressed than he did - I think he was wearing jeans with the sweater, and I did catch a swift glimpse of how that blue set off his eyes - and it was such a remarkable treat to see them off duty, as it were. Being there for their daughter. Clea rode very well and, if memory serves, won at least one ribbon. Some years later, I lived and worked in Manhattan, and had a number of celeb sightings, because it’s almost hard not to, if you live there. Not once on those occasions were any of them being followed or bothered by anyone. I was even in a crowded sketch practice at art school with Peter Falk, and except for using his stage voice to yell out at some noisy students in the hallway to be quiet (along the lines of “We’re tryin’ to work in here!”, which made all of us laugh), he just blended in with the rest of us. So I relate to what Clea said about the difference between the east coast and LA, for stars. It’s part of what made the John Lennon murder so horrifying. We prided ourselves on how we took the presence of famous people in stride. But then, the killer wasn’t a New Yorker…
Very disappointed when I learned of the Nancy Bacon affaire. Very unfortunate. But I guess if one starts a marriage breaking another one, what goes around finally comes around. And those decisions made Mr. Newman truly unhappy.
I have doubts about it. She claims it was 18 months and started on the set of Butch Cassidy, but the first time she wrote about the “affair” was 9-10 months after the film started shooting. Also, why would Paul do this when his kids visited the set? There’s pics. Then, Bacon says he’d tell Joanne he was “out making movies” after Butch Cassidy was out, but the film right after this was WUSA which he filmed with Joanne in New Orleans. Bacon also lists private details about Paul, like the kind of music he liked, but these were all public info in interviews before…
Pauls reputation of loyalty to Joanne and their marriage lasting over 50 years certainly added to peoples endearment of him but of course he was married before her too with a son Scott who tragically overdosed so he didn't pretend to be a perfect angel either there is no denying his philanthropy though or his love and passion of Joanne and she for him those are not rumours that was reality and people can critize them his smoking and lung cancer for instance too but he lived to 83 anyway and was very beloved by many people.
Un tipo que debería hacernos sentir sensaciones a traves de los oidos no habla de la vista! Creo que esto es todo un negocio y este señor vivió de este negocio pero ya les queda poco tiempo....
I always admired Paul and Joanne two remarkable people who enriched our lives with their love, kindness, honesty and their incomparable humor but what stands out is their generosity for their community. Their creativity was amazing. I never tire of watching them on utube.
A wonderful talk by an extraordinary polymath, but he didn’t “find” Boo!, it’s been available as an extra on Frankenstein DVDs and blu-rays for many years.
The 1977 version with Louis Jourdan as The Count was far superior plus Frayling featured it in his compelling documentary about how Stoker was inspired to write the 1897 novel. The Gaitiss version is RUBBISH
