I had to stop watching, this is so cliché- and jargon-ridden it's hard to listen to. Lots of business speak without much content
These discussions are precious. (Therapy for me)
Why learn History, when you can repeat it for full credit?
Congressmin need to wear those NASCAR Jackets with all their Donors' Logos plain for everyone to see. Policy is downstream of income.
I wanted to take a US History course since, as a peakish white child growing up in the affluent suburbs of Detroit, I learned that George Washington cut down and fashioned his first set of dentures from his father's cherry tree. When his father found out, George didn't deny cutting down the tree. Of course, he was polishing his teeth with hemp oil at the time he was confronted by Pops. Then, after the blatant insulting RIG of 2020 I began to look back at prior US Presidential Elections, and I clearly saw, THEY ARE ALL RIGGED, at least as far back as to the Lincoln Election, where two Dems ran against him assuring his victory and War. (Duh. Elections have far too many consequences to leave "Up to the People". Besides, the voters are fodder for the gold hoarding interbreeds and their sycophantic sexually perverted friends, the cannon ball makers.) Donald was installed in 2020 because the BLOB knew they could and did run a circus in circles around him, and hiliary, who actually knew where the cookie jar lay hidden, was Stalin to them, meaning they knew she would blow up the World if it meant she would go down in history as one of the Greatest. She was deemed too dangerous and uncontrollable, even for the bunch of Mayhem Junkies who run things. I didn't think it would be fair to the Professor or the other students for me to take part in the conversation because it's a different conversation, even if it is the same subject. So I took 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' instead.
If you think this is insane, get me to tell you about my analysis from Truman (Dewey did win) until 2020. Hair raising, so it must be true.
'24 was too big to RIG. Huh? I suppose you voted for the idiot over Superman? I always had a soft spot for Lex Luthor too. Too be honest, it was because I had a thing for his woman, Montana Wildhack.
Thank you!
"Both are composed in Sanskrit, the artistic language of the Bronze Age Aryans who invaded the Indian subcontinent" 🤡You saw the aryans coming on horses to invade bharat. Why do you still propagate theories and narratives? These are the scholars who want to educate the world. No wonder nearly 40 U.S. universities had pro-Palestinian mobs These ivy league universities are producing ideologically-driven, brainwashed followers.
he is now my sixth grade teacher at my school
Wow. Such a great conversation. Looking forward to reading the book!
Get the folk etymology out of here! What a philological farce, very convenient for white folk! In his neglected book India In Greece the philologist Edward Pococke shows Amazons to be in fact Uma's-sons, or offspring. Several times mentions several tribes as "Iranian" when the Sakya, Kambojas, Kurus and etc were in fact dwelling in Afghanistan and India. The soma may in fact be 'sanna', cognate cannabis Good presentation otherwise, thnxs

Your video quality presentation is so amazing but do you know why your video is not getting the expected views? Your channel needs some updates to increase the view
Is she saying prousts name right???
Yes
Not just intellectual. Got to be physical growth as well. I would argue without the physical wellness, you cannot roar much louder. I took up different dance forms, ultra endurance biking, yoga. If we want to embrace our roaring self, the physical persona cannot be missing.
G it
there is a Huge difference btw Fukuyama-Huntington and Mearsheimer. what Fukuyama and Huntington did were mostly description of the world. they described and explained as they see the world. Mearsheimer , on the other hand, starts his logic with undeniable facts.
Fantastic presentation. Thank you Michael and U of C Graham School☘️
What is the cost of the Residential Seminar?
A better definition: a myth is a "lie" told in an attempt to describe the truth when there is an absence of verifiable evidence to assure said truth's veracity. "Tell all the truth but tell it slant Success in Circuit lies Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth's superb surprise As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind -" - Dickinson
I do so agree with you in your comparison of Hugo and Tolstoy. Hugo is my favorite.
My favorite book by far. I will never forget it.
In my opinion AP and NPR are biased reporting.
Which news organization(s) do you trust?
has anyone made a comprehensive catalog of the dates of the sothic calendar and verified anchor dates, such as solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and defining the dates according to the sothic calendar, nevermind the objections of egyptologists, just a mechanical recording of all known written or inscribed events, festivals, astronomical sightings, names and reigning kings found on temples, monuments, walls, papyri, tablets, etc
The Hellenistic age is the Greekhood of mankind.
Such a fresh perspective on economics....Inspiring. I wish I could take the course
🧞is This A university can Present to students... Baby in pampers They know better. But... Wait... maybe they just want to discourage people..
Thank you for the question between Tolstoy, Hugo and Dickens. I had been curious how the three novelists influenced one another and how they wrote about the events and policies that affect every day people. Would it be fair to ask if Prince Albert was affected by at least Dickens writings as he too tried to do something to help the people just trying to live?
I am under educated. Thank you
i would love to take this course
⛲🏛️
ex cuse me i am gilbert there is a one girl i just heard a one girl said the name fernando but they didnt say the last name
All the wrong actors get cast for the wrong roles. Halleck was 'a great brute of a man's in Herberts' words, none of the actors cast in the role fit that description. Idaho was a medium sized man, dark skinned with dark hair, again, none of the actors cast, fit the description.paul is described as slight, small for his age, Timmothee looks like Chewbaccas' kid ...again, no match to the description. I could go on... But I am sure you know all the inaccuracies, just as I do.
🍣
What a fabulous session! Thanks.
Im done with this lesson and grade is 1.5
Pro censorship pro democrat piece.
Thanks for your time and presentation yesterday. This looks to be a promising program that I suspect will be used as a benchmark for other institutions to follow and result in work what will make a true difference in the world. Well done and thank you for the invitation.
For the Top to rule over people like Animals, you removed classics to sweep away virtue in the early grades. When people without virtue get paid well for doing almost nothing it is called tenure? So to keep the graft going they claim to find planets in other solar systems with out proof and the public is asked TO BELIEVE IN SCIENTISm.
You people are so funny, Fascism comes from the Christian God, Just look at His, Her, It's actions. Just look at the ethnic cleansing of the Midianites. The Christian god commanded Moses to kill...ALL.. except the virgin women who were split between the priests and Moses's waring solders
