CU of him speaking to the camera, addressing the people of America: "Ladies and gentlemen. I am now at the conclusion of what is very likely my lat tour in your country. I have travelled from coast to coast and visited ... cities and towns, great and small. If it should be my last visit I shall regret it, as I have made, in the course of my travels, many valued frieds. I have been impressed by the fortitude and the hopeful constructive spirit with which your country is facing its share in the worldwide depression. Bad as things may be with you, they are not so bad as they are in my country, not so bad as they are in Germany. Your country, it seems to me, has been stimulated by these difficult times to constructive effort of thought and to the creation of a greater unity in our civilsation than it has hitherto head. I have thought it is ... road that our civilisation must travel if we are not to have a repeatition, perhaps in even aggrivated form, of the troubles from which the world is suffering at the present time. If these hard times do lead, as I fully believe they will, to such a contructive and unifying effort - which many are enduring now will not have been endured in vain. There will emerge, as I hope and I believe, a world with greater security, with greater hope. A world in which men will profit by the inventions of science and not, as to often happens now, suffer through what ouight to be a means to human happiness. If this should occur then I think we may hope that future generations enjoy the fruits of our thought and our effort. It is this hope above all that should boy us up in the difficult period through which we are passing".

he might not sound that great in this clip, but his writing was so awesome, clear, and persuasive it bordered on sorcery. he wrote approx. 70 books during his life, which i've read about half. he was a great master of the english language.

@polyinception7689 3 года назад

@Kara Waterhouse Interesting. Perhaps you can elaborate?

@polyinception7689 3 года назад

@Kara Waterhouse Yeah I suppose I haven't heard anyone critique or criticise that with Bertrand. I would've thought the opposite, despite the aristocratic background, due to his political beliefs and progressiveness views. Especially with the protesting during the Vietnam war.

@polyinception7689 3 года назад

@Kara Waterhouse Cheers for the response! Will do. Take care.

This is the oldest footage of him that I've seen speaking to the camera. Amazing, from the CU you can see the teeth blackened from his habit of smoking pipe. I hope to come across even older footage... Legendary philosopher and social critic.

The greatest mind of all times, he was in America in the 40s and unable to get money out of his own country as a rich guy refused to give him money due him because he didn't like the work he was doing but was sued and had to give it to him!

not really, eloquent and nicely articulated yes, but proven wrong by history and unfortunately also lacking the courage to rise against the banksters establishment to not name them directly.

@sergiosatelite467 4 месяца назад

He mostly hated us and what we - in his mind - stand for. I love Russell. And it’s also true he knew how to mask his feelings and say what he thought needed to be said. Check out the two volume monumental bio written by Ray Monk. Better than most novels. Complex man. Lovable and hateful in equally extreme proportions.

This reminds me of a photo I once saw of the opening page of his autobiography - perfect sentences one after the other without a single word crossed out or any kind of correction.

What year was this? He was in America a lot from the 1930s-40s but clearly mentions the depression, placing it in the 30s. 1936, perhaps? Earlier? He looks too young for it to be the 1940s.

+Matthew Laurence (Matternick-europhile) - Hi Matthew - according to the Movietone records, this interview appeared in the last newsreel of 1932 - released in British cinemas on the 31st December. I've added the date to the title field. Best wishes - Jenny @ Movietone

@matthewlaurence3121 8 лет назад

British Movietone Thank you. I would have thought 1936, as he was only 60 in 1932 and looks a little old for a man that would live to nearly 100. Close resemblance to my grandfather at the same age, and probably myself in time. :)

Russell did spend some time in America but it was not a particularly happy time. It appears he was embroiled in some kind of legal case which raised questions about morality.

@thomastereszkiewicz2241 3 года назад

If only America still had that unifying spirit it had in the 1930's and 1940's instead of the divisive spirit from left and right that it has today.

"The sufferings which many have endured now, will not have been made in vain." Spoken from atop his ivory tower and elite club. Dangling a carrot in front of those indeed who are utilized as cattle.and considered quite disposable. Intelligent, articulate man, but his service was to himself and those above him. Be well.

@Lazarus1095 5 лет назад

OK. You don't like Bertrand Russell. Fair enough. WHY don't you like Bertrand Russell? What, exactly, did he say or do that you object to? Why do you object to it? Russell was talking in the United States, during the election season that led to Franklin Roosevelt taking office and initiating the New Deal which saw America successfully through WWII and ended the Great Depression. So (assuming you interpret his words as an endorsement of that course) he was quite correct. And he was right about things being worse in Germany. So I ask again, what exactly do you object to?

@Ometecuhtli 4 года назад

@Montag Alexis Bertrand Russell disagrees with your statement: "Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom." "Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear." "If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have a paradise in a few years." "Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change." "One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny." But probably his most notable quotation has to be about his 3 passions: "Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair… Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer."

@Sunfried1 3 года назад

You're a moron Montag. So his activism against the First World War that not only got him expelled from Cambridge, but also landed him in jail was merely selfish service to himself? And his activism against nuclear proliferation in cooperation with Einstein through the 1950s and sixties was self-serving? You must have a completely upside down morality.

@@evangelosnikitopoulos Science is not superstition. It involves observing and hypothesizing about observable phenomena, experimenting to replicate what was observed based on the hypothesis, and then the results are described. Nothing about this procedure is superstitious and has advanced fields of study such as neuroscience, medicine, computer science, astronomy, and so on. Please show me what scientist believes "matter creates itself". It sounds like you misunderstand the big bang theory and even possibly the origin of life. Science doesn't claim to prove that multiverses exist; the multiverse is only speculation and not one held by many scientists. What do you mean by "man is related to grass"? Let me guess, you think evolution is about how there was a cosmic soup in the beginning of the earth's days and then suddenly an animal popped out. I'm sorry to say, but it looks like you spout nonsense about scientific topics you don't even understand.
