Economics is admittedly far outside of my expertise but I always leaned right starting from the mid-2000s or so because I worked for multiple VFX firms that went bankrupt because Californian mandates and regulations made it too expensive for them to compete there on a global scale. They ended up moving their headquarters to places like Canada, France, and even China because these progressive policies made it too costly for them to continue running a business. That affects even a lowly VFX engineer like me who is hardly a business owner in that I'm out of a job. "Supply-side economics" or what Democrats call "Trickle-down economics" always made sense to me at least in my position and lifestyle and career choice. I can't get paid if no one can afford to pay me because of all these regulatory and tax burdens which skyrocket the costs of running a business. Being forced to choose Trump makes me groan. He strikes me as a used car salesman willing to say whatever he needs to say to remain relevant and popular. I wish I had better choices. But I just think democrats these days are so completely detached from the very basic aspects of running a business that I'd still take Trump (among the worst possible choices I could imagine) any day over *any* democrat. I'm not in this for moral reasons. I'm in this because want to get paid and I want other fellow VFX programmers like me to be able to keep their jobs and not see them outsourced overseas in countries and states that offer more desirable and maintainable ways for business owners to run their business. It makes no sense to me to pay a custodian $16/hour as a simplistic example. That's more than I made, even adjusted for inflation, when I was a junior software engineer. I sometimes think democrats have this vision that companies are run by stingy scrooges that just take 90% of the revenue for themselves to buy yachts left and right, and so these mandates just make them release that money to employees. That hasn't been my experience. They go bankrupt, and we all end up being out of a job. On the contrary, I've seen my salary rise when payroll taxes are alleviated, for example. It's the opposite of the scrooge picture. The less burdens the state places on a business, the more it trickles down to us employees. The tighter of a chokehold the state enforces on businesses, the less bonuses we have, the harder it becomes to negotiate raises, the higher the likelihood that we get laid off or reduced from FTEs to part-time, and the higher the likelihood of the business shutting down... unless we're working for some gigantic invincible corporation like Google or Wal-Mart. "You (state) treat my employer well and he treats me well. You (state) treat my employer poorly and he treats me poorly." That's been my experience. There is a "trickle-down" aspect to it -- maybe not trickling down as much as I want but it's better than my worst experience when my employers aren't treated well by the state. Or let's even entertain the most extreme left-wing view that everyone in running a business is so corrupt, so stingy. Then these regulatory and tax burdens still come out of my paycheck either way because corrupt people aren't going to pay it out of their pocket. Either way I'm screwed. The only way I'm not screwed is if the state alleviates those burdens.

One of the nastiest side comment I’ve read of Bakunin was from Walter Kaufmann. He said Hegel would have been unimpressed with Marx and Bakunin in the way they used his ideas. On the other hand, German thought has brought some of the best but also some of the worst ideas we are living with today.

An excellent video. Groupthink is one of the problems discussed by Lee Smolin in his book 'The Trouble With Physics' when talking about deluded (my word) string "theorists". This word certainly applies to modern cosmologists. I would like to recommend to everyone a free (pdf) paper (use your favorite search engine) 'A Bang into Nowhere' by Constantine Antonopoulos in which he explains how and why space cannot expand. That space/the universe is not expanding is explained in the book 'The Static Universe' by Hilton Ratcliffe.. And because the universe is not expanding we need an explanation of what causes redshift - and it is worth noting that there have been no independant measurements which confirm that all galaxies are increasing their distance apart over time. Edwin Hubble neither directly measured a recessional velocity nor (later) believed it was cause of redshift, and no one has directly measured a recessional velocity in the nearly 100 years since Hubble published his paper. The cause of redshifted galactic light has been called "tired light" because the light has decreased in energy on its journey to us - either in proportion to the distance, the interactions on the way and/or a combination of both and/or something else. Several mechanisms are discussed in Ratcliffe's book such as CREIL by Jacques Moret-Bailly. And Lyndon Ashmore has a book called 'Tired Light', and there are many other ideas out there. That there is no agreed upon mechanism for tired light among non-big-bangers should not be a problem as modern cosmologists with their lack of dark matter, dark energy and initial anti matter (or a mechanism to explain why matter "dominates") literally cannot account for over 95% of the contents of the current universe.

Thankyou! Trump is a manifestation and even in his apparent decline is still a tool for those who do not want to share in our democracy.

I pulled the trigger (metaphorically man) and bought the book. I no longer accept the dominion of any Caesar. I insist upon non-theocratic--democratic republics--with temporary power granted by the populace. I recognize no king, no theocrat, no mob boss, no corporation and no oligarch as having dominion over any free society. The American experiment must evolve for the many and the one. I am here to un-other as many as possible.

I’ve always thought they like him because they want to be like him. They want to get rid of political correctness. They want to make fun of disabled people. They want brag about grabbing P. They want to have multiple wives. They want to be famous. They want money. Above all they want to lie to people and have zero accountability. Alpha men look up to his antics. Women love alpha men. Until they have to live with them.

It's not complicated at all!! They're weak minded fool's!! They are the same kind of people that drink poisoned coolaid from their cult leaders!! If trump passed out poisoned coolaid, they would drink it with a smile and make their children drink it too!! There will always be people like trump who know how to fool people and fools that will follow evil people like trump!! It's really sad, but just a reality!! Trump knows what he's doing, and he wants to take as many fools to hell with him as he can!! I just thank the universe that I'm not one of those fool's!!!!

I’m not sure that I agree that trump is a “symptom” of anything. I’d still be interested in checking it out even if I disagree which I think I do so far. It sounds like the book is taking that supporting him is bad axiomatically which is not very good logic, but again I’d check it out

Before I read the book I will venture a guess that the answer Mr. Giles proffers is rooted in America's history with slavery and its wealthy southern white supporters. Today, it is the ultra-wealthy "Christian" white supremacists (UWWS) who continue their mission to revitalize slavery that has taken on a different but easily recognized complexion, one of enslaving America's entire working class. Working class MAGA supporters who vehemently believe he will be their savior somehow cannot perceive that Trump is today's standard bearer for the UWWS and, if he is elected, will do everything possible to further ensure their entrapment in a system designed to keep their wages low, prevent the growth of labor unions, prevent any semblance of universal healthcare, lower taxes for the wealthy, and keep all of us in a state of being barely able to hang on to a wildly corrupted "American Dream". Winning a lottery will be our only way out.

Mass insanity?🤔

because they are idiots!

If you’re looking for a diatribe against Donald Trump, this book is not for you. If you’re looking for a hagiography extolling Trump, this book is not for you. This book is for you if you want to understand why people support Trump and similar right-wing politicians and what it means for the future. Stepping away from the partisan bickering of America’s political duopoly, Why Trump? takes seriously the question of why people support Trump. What do these people see in Trump and why? Avoiding oversimplification, I provide a serious historical and philosophical analysis of the dynamics at play in the support of and opposition to Trump and offers concrete proposals for moving politics beyond its current morass of antagonism.

I'll never understand why people vote for him.

Haven't read it yet but the premise, as expressed, has been my experience for more than 50 years. He may be on to something.

Good show, just subscribed Mate.

Why have all the presidents been related to the monarchy?

The next book you should write is “why they hate Trump”. I’ve never heard a legit answer to that question. They always Just start become unhinged and start screaming out a bunch of slurs.

He tells it like it is & explains his policies. THEN ACTUALLY DOES IT WITH NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE OPPOSITION

Rottenness

Why America first ?

I have read that the nazis initially built the gas chambers to murder people with disabilities. Then realised they could use them to murder Jews.

Why do some people support Trump? Hatred.

Expanding universe seems like a mathematical trickery.

I’m no physicist but could it be that when we look out, we still see the after effects of an expanding universe but is currently stopped or maybe even collapsing outside our “light” vision? Like the snap back of a stretched rubber band that hasn’t snapped back to where we are (but coming)? Or maybe the universe is so vast that the farthest our ability to see is still so minuscule in the comparison that we are unable to see whatever is going on (expansion, static, collapsing) with any real certainty? Like our ability to see through a very foggy morning that your entire community was scooped up (quietly of course) and moved 600 miles North/South/East or West and you would have no idea what’s going on past your ability to “see”, but your town looks the same. So nothing changes. You assume your home, neighborhood and town are the same? Anyway that’s what I was thinking.

I have always had this idea that space between objects is zero in the sense that the only thing separating two objects is time. In this universe, space is a 3D singularity. Moving forward in a space singularity loops back upon the original position and future self. This means that there are timelines extending out from the singularity in all directions. The thing that gives space depth is not space itself, but time. Space or the energy contained in it is simply interacting with its self at a given intersection of future timelines. Time itself is an emergent property of a 3D singularity. Imagine an electron in this 3D singularity at t=0. The electron moves forwards to t=1 and interacts with its self. The electron collides with itself. No collision actually occurs, instead the electrons repel each other in different directions/timelines. However, because the electrons were travelling in the same direction there is a net difference in energy. The electron AT t=1 gains energy while the electron FROM t=0 loses energy. The lesser energy electron is now moving backwards relative to its prior direction of movement. Therefore, the lesser energy electron will interact with a higher energy electron at t=2 that is moving forward. The net result is that the electrons will repel each other and there will be some energy exchanged. Replace the electron with a wave moving in all directions and we'll observe many complex wave interactions occurring as t increase. Many timelines will form branching out from the singularity and intersecting in all directions. This is the space we perceive and it is responsible for the red shift of light. As photons intersect through timelines, self-interacting destructive interference occurs. The net result is a loss of energy overtime that manifest as increased wavelength. Space being a singularity also makes quantum physics more intuitive. As we zoom in on the very small, t approaches 0. In this domain interactions occur faster than we can physical perceive and our interacting with these particles to perform science in anyway changes their timelines and obscures their physics. The double slit experiment is a perfect example of space being a singularity. A photon does not enter one slit, it propagates as a wave in all directions. From our emergent perspective, we perceive this as a wave of probability. But from the perspective of the singularity, the wave interactions are due to underlying physics we emergent beings cannot observe. When we attempt to observe the photon, timelines become entangled before the photon wave enters the slits and the photon can no longer interact with itself. Even if we observe which slit the photon comes out of, we have effectively erased all the timelines where the photon would self-interact beyond the slits. Photons themselves give strength to the idea that space is a singularity. How can a photon move at a constant speed and oscillate if it is not interacting with itself? Try to imagine how a photon can interact with itself which would result in an oscillating wave. Self-interference!

Very interesting

I now do not know what to believe. Very confused. Even Einstein took the red shift noted by Hubble to mean the galaxies were receding. What else could anyone conclude?

Imagine not being able to articulate that a large portion of matter in the observable universe is moving away from what seems to be an epicentre when time is reversed and you just call it space expansion 😂

Are you sure tho, you need to check that the numbers for densities you are referencing does not come from a model of how the universe should look today, given it evolving simultaneously over the entire space. You must be sure that the distributions you reference are from direct observations of what we see, not what we think is there assuming isotropic light velocity.

Yeah, need to look for myself at the data, but distance is not so simple, because yes, if light has travelled towards us for 8 billion years, the distance it travelled at the time for each little piece of space was 8 billion light years, but that is not the distance now, the earlier a distance was travelled the larger it is now. Still this error is not that important, we should see less density now than earlier. But there is some subtlety in this because the very close neighbourhood might be more or less dense than other regions, so you have to look at scales that are isotropic in density, and there is a problem because this measure can only tell you anything if that isotropy and uniformity is there, now thats kot a huge issue, it would be great to prove that either the density of galaxies has to have been non isotropic and unform or the expension is not there, but there are other issues, a simple one is the size of galaxies and the matter in gas, or conversions between dark matter and normal matter that might habe occoured, there is a huge amount of styff to consider, and these concerns are just off the cuff, first you have to make sure that 1 your arguments are sound, and 2 that your claim is true, that the prediction from the expanding model is not reflecting the densities over time.

A light of a star that is 8 billion light years away did not take 8 billion years to reach us, I think your assumption is wrong. The big bang is thought to have happened 13.8 billion years ago, but we can see stuff that is 47 billion light years away. This is presumably because those galaxies were closer when light from them started the journey towards us. But, the space in between us meanwhile got larger, so they are further away now.

We see the Universe through dirt, but dirt needs to be cleaned. ❤ ❤ ❤ (for 119 years) By determining the constancy of speed of light, all experiments and Michelson-Morley experiments are indirect and incomplete. If the Michelson-Morley experiment was carried out on a bus or airplane and was used to determine speed. only then will this experience be direct. Therefore, Einstein does not rely on the Michelson-Morley experiment. Question. Do you have an example of such direct experience? New technologies, new research tools Let me suggest for schoolchildren and students on one's own to measure the Universe, dark energy, black holes, etc. To do this, I propose two practical devices. «laser tape measure *+reference distance* 1,000,000 m”» and «Michelson-Morley HYBRID Gyroscope». I am writing to you with a proposal for the joint invention of a HYBRID gyroscope from non-circular, TWO coils with a new type of optical fiber with a “hollow core photonic-substituted vacuum zone or (NANF)” where - the light travels 250000 (In a laser tape measure, the length of the optical fiber is fixed at 1000000 ) meters in each arm, while it does not exceed the parameters 84/84/84 cm, and the weight is 24 kg. Manufacturers of “Fiber Optic Gyroscopes” can produce HYBRID gyroscopes for educational and practical use in schools and higher education institutions. Einstein dreamed of measuring the speed of a train, an airplane - through the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1881/2024, and only then would the experiment be more than 70% complete. This can be done using a fiber optic HYBRID gyroscope. Based on the completion of more than 70% of Michelson's experiment, the following postulates can be proven: Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and dominant gravitational fields adjust the speed of light in a vacuum. you can make scientific discoveries; in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, higher theoretical physics,... (We are not looking for ether, we will see the work of gravitational quanta) The result is a «theory of everything» in a simple teaching device and a new tape measure for measuring the universe.

It could be that the frequency of light naturally shifts in the direction of red over time? Or what if everything in the universe is uniformly shrinking in on its self while the space between remains the same? this would seem as though everything would be getting further apart. Although you may have just debunked that idea in this video as well.

Do you have a source for saying all surveys find no difference in galactic number density with redshift or is it just the images?

Do you think though, that even if the universe isn't expanding, some sort of “big bang” happened? I say this mainly because of the empirical evidence that the Cosmic Microwave Background gives us about the properties of the universe billions of years ago

Redshift needs to be rethought.

When you were analysing those graphs did you account for the telescoping that happens because the universe is expanding? The red to blue graph look like a fan, but that’s not what the actual shape of the universe, the fan should constrict as it goes back in time because the universe was smaller. If you do that then yes the universe was more dense, at least it seems to be from eyeballing it. But that’s why it’s so important to label your axes. Did you also account for the fact that more stars are made as the universe goes on? So we would expect density to increase with time, but it at the very least stays the same.

I thought the theory was that at first, the first 6-8 billion years, gravity held in check the dark energy that has more recently been expanding the universe

True, the theory never made enough sense to be held as passionately as they cling to it.

Good to see someone doing thinking about this. As you explain, the evidence says one reality very clearly, but the so-called experts decide they prefer something else to be true. How political is science anyway? Because this sounds so much like politics.

If it's not expanding (which I thought I had convincing math for to explain the redshift) then you have to come up with an explanation for "The Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program: Slow supernovae show cosmological time dilation out to z∼1" which is a new paper on archivx

Red shift, red shift no cogent explanation yet?

I'll add it to my list of books to purchase.

Why do some people support Trump? Why has the subject of Trump become the dominant subject of US politics? The new book by Dr. Douglas Giles, Why Trump? Why Some People Support Him-How the Rest of Us Can Respond, considers those and connected questions by looking at American history to show that the phenomenon really isn't about Trump. Trump is a symptom more than he is a cause. Dr. Douglas Giles, a professor of philosophy at Elmhurst University, specializes in researching political movements and ideologies. Why Trump? takes seriously the question of why people support Trump. What do they see in him and why? Avoiding oversimplification, Dr. Giles provides a serious historical and philosophical analysis of the dynamics at play in the support of and opposition to Trump and offers concrete proposals for moving politics beyond its current morass of antagonism. Why Trump? shows there is little new in Trump or the things he says and does. His success in attaining power lies in his ability to harness a long-simmering feeling in a segment of the American population. Realizing that simple reality opens the door to a deeper understanding of the particular strain of US political culture that is behind the movement that currently takes Trump as its center of focus.

Frat boys gone wild. 😂

Listening to this, I can hear modern ideas of cognitive behavioral therapy. Never thought the two could be connected. Fascinating.

Isn't it related with fraternity? Sigma Chi, brothers... Where else could they have picked up this crap?

I really appreciate this. It's great to see this analyzed properly!
