Miss you Mike
i dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Kyle Spencer instablaster :)
@Daniel Huxley i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Daniel Huxley It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account !
I would have loved to have seen what Crichton would have made of the world today, and what kind of novels he would have created to reflect that.
Died too young.
His global warming denial (State of Fear) made him untrustworthy to many. I wonder if he'd still be at it in 2020? He also had the usual right-wing "skepticism" about other environmental problems, like overpopulation.
@@falseprogress I don’t think he was “Denying” global warming. More he was saying how bad is global warming really? I think his position was that there are bigger issues to address. Starvation, disease, war, etc....
@@alphaomega7433 That's just denial called something other than denial. One can't understand the evidence and claim it's no big deal, especially with mounting real world events like massive fires in California and Australia. He may have gotten a clue if he'd lived longer.
@@Carthodon Nice rant. Now try to prove that CO2 isn't the primary driver of sustained warming. This never needed to be political. It's like debating whether ice forms at 32 F, and many other known phenomena. Were it not for the threat to economic growthism, few would have turned against climate science (e.g. studying it on a far away planet where there was no human stake).
Crichton was truly a brilliant man. He had the knowledge and he was funny. I can listen to him talk for hours. Losing Crichton was a great loss to the joy in the world.
I became familiar with him through ER, I was a little young for Jurassic Park when it came out. ER has some really FUNNY little touches that I think anyone who has ever worked in a hospital would understand. I see them now and laugh out loud. One that springs to mind is a fire or something and people are running through the exam room where Carter is taking his fit test for a respirator, with that huge hood on his head.... I hate those things!
@@gutsfinkyJurassic Park movies came out in 1993, 1997, 2001, 2015, 2018 and 2022 . ER ran from 1994-2009.
I would trade half of these celebrities and musicians that we have today to have people like Michael Crichton and other brilliant minds to contribute to our society instead of these basic uneducated reality stars that everybody idolizes and looks up to ... It'd be much better to have role models like Michael Crichton
He wasn't brilliant on environmental issues. Tunnel-visioned denial: www.ucsusa.org/resources/crichton-thriller-state-fear
Haha he actually saw the climate change/carbon scam coming before everyone else. Probably paid with his life for presenting such a cogent and logical approach to the environmental issues. Now the same maniacs who polluted,abused and got us into this mess are the ones "leading" us out and right into their Great Reset trap. Look up Climategate, the science is hijacked and Solar/milankovich cycles are dismissed
Yes State of Fear ..
One of his best books! Missing Crichton!
Crichton is one of my all-time favorite writers.
Love these writer interviews.
Thank you!
Michael Crichton was an impeccable author/film director. His skill to develop transcendent thoughts for progress with human relativity in consequence still resonates.
Timeline is still my favorite book of his. As well as the Lost World.
We really lost a genius too young in this man.
He reminds me so much of Joe Biden.
Q: Why was this not made into a movie? A: The government doesn’t want it made.
Real A: Crichton was so unhappy with the movie adaptation of Timeline that he would no longer let his novels be adapted into movies.
Most of the other movie adaptations of his novels were bad
Great book, hope hollywood makes it into a decent movie
I messed up by reading michael crichton st the start of my rejuvenated love of reading as an adult. Now I will never find an author nearly as good. With His books I truly became a first person observer in different lands. So well written that would hide at work to get in the book. I really miss him. If anyone who loves his books like me knows of an author I may like please tell me.
A brilliant mind. Wish he were still around.
Thank you for the upload
And he died at Age 66....He was also beginning to speak out on the dangers of emergent technology to congress and the senate. Now he is dead.
Oddly, he dismissed the blatant dangers of older technology putting out CO2 emissions, and also things like overpopulation. Very narrow view of the world, not the wise man he sold himself as.
@Infectious Legume That's the usual avoidance of reality, including denial that the current 7.8 billion (momentum could take it to 10 billion) are already living on borrowed time and energy (finite fossil fuels) and that other species keep getting forced into smaller pockets of land, shot, poisoned and netted. Overfishing is a major issue that you likely dismiss as trivial. You're lying about what's really going on because you're comfortable at the moment and would rather not think too deeply. falseprogress.home.blog/2018/06/24/why-saving-the-planet-is-a-lost-cause/
@@falseprogress You Gonna Cry?
@@alphaomega7433 Not sure exactly what this was in reply to, but human stupidity is sad to witness, especially when it comes from articulate types like Crichton. Ideology has run amok on the left and right.
@@falseprogress so you applaud him when he agrees with your viewpoint, but despise him because he doesn’t buy into those things that you have. Has it occurred to you that a brilliant mind may be correct in those things that you disagree on? Have you caught up with the fact of earth being in a time of extremely low atmospheric CO2 as compared with previous eras of geologic time, or that those people who spend months in submarines or in the ISS are living with much higher concentrations?
I love his writing, jurassic park is my favorit book ever, Michael Crichton is my favorite book writer
Just got acquainted with Sphere. Riveting. The movie does not do it justice.
"You are interested in volcanoes" 22:15
James Patterson is finishing and releasing a book started by Crichton called 'eruption' in 2024 (this year). About a super eruption of one of the volcanoes on Hawai'i
Wish it became a movie, damn Fox
Maglev trains are another example of science that was stopped. Hydrogen dirigibles is another. Halfway through the video, the dangerous road where scientists decided not to tread is most likely bioweapons. However, I wonder if he was aware that the U.S and the Soviet Union had a bioweapons program in the 1970's.
He hinted... virus !
🤬.. Ahead of his time but RIGHT AGAIN ✅️
Mr. Crichton is my favorite author and I love listening to him talk, but I just can't wrap my head around his belief that human motivation is unknowable. He gives an example of giving an instantaneous answer to a multiplication problem, but that's a rudimentary action that affects no one. Motivation has more to do with decisions that affect other people, and that can always be deduced and known.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Crichton may have had the same problem that Stephen King accused Stanley Kubrick of having: "...thinks too much and feels too little."
He means that we do not always know or think about why we do things. In many cases we have to look back and search for the answer after the fact. We are many times not vigilant of our thoughts and actions as they happen. And who says all motivation is meant to affect someone else?
He's too modest to say one of the major motivators: a desire for immortality.
*Dr. Crichton
That because you take the unconscious out of the consideration. Many people and many scientist included, believe that the conscious mind (which thinks it can know motivation) is the only thing that is and we are the masters in our own house.
But it is not true. I have seen many patients who do things that have an unconscious element that they have never been conscious of (unrepressed), and yet they think they know why and how it happens.
Many patterns of behaviour in our lives are implicit and have never been known by the conscious mind. In therapy, when these implicit patterns come to light, it is only then the patient discovers the actual motivation behind a certain pattern of behaviour. But this does not stop there. These road of discovering who you are is a process that never stops.
To say you know your own motivations means you fully know yourself and that is hubris of the highest order.
Sean Billington I need a friend like you. Lol.
His novel State of Fear 🙌
Most motivation is need, or curiosity, feelings & sometimes just a thought.
the book is amazing
i love the book
love crichton, his description of how a creator may ave started the universe is HAUNTING
Such a good book!
I really wish I could have met this man in person, damn shame I couldn't
I was thinking about this recently, if there's one historical figure I'd love to hang out and have a beer (or a coke, I guess) with, it would be him. Brilliant, philosophical, and seemed like a very nice gentleman.
I see more copies of Prey at the used books stores and thrift stores in my area. Not having read this one yet, is it not worth hanging on to after reading it once? I tend to keep favorite books for a second read years later to see if my initial love of the book was warranted.
Good book. Not his best, but still pretty good. Has pacing issues like almost all of his books
I just finished re reading Prey and jeez I don’t remember it being as scary as it was.
I thought it was rather mediocre
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 everyone’s different right? :)
@@Maddym365 Well yeah but I think it's conceptually very strong, stronger than Jurassic Park because unlike dinosaurs it actually makes sense that a self-evolving nanoswarm could easily get out of control (where's in Jurassic Park literally everything had to go wrong for that to happen which makes the cautionary tale as it applies specifically to prehistoric animals seem very weak). Execution wise it's definitely way worse though, the characters and inter-personal drama with them seems very uninspired and the whole bit about the swarms imitating humans felt like Crichton didn't know how to escalate the situation into a third act and as such picked kind of a visually uninteresting approach to it.
Michael Crichton RIP what a loss to the world! Brilliant prescient man. His interviewer unfortunately stifled his answers IMO and stands as how to ruin an interview that could have been even more extraordinary and much longer. Nevertheless it seems to be amongst the few available and definitely worthwhile.
Did that Sega video game he was working on ever get finished?
I have the same question now
he made a few games but that was one that didn't materialize.
@@saulrosales5329 did not.
@7:11
Interviewer asks what gave him the inspiration.
Michael: Well basically I had this random intrusive thought of a sharply dressed strong business woman coming home late from work one night, going into the nursery and slapping her kids.
His Next book. He is not sure of gong that way.
lmao charlie is drunk as hell here you can tell. Slurring his speech and his hair is a mess. Go Charlie!
his comment about engineering viruses reminds me of covid 19.
👍
Freudian slip!
Yodie & michael crichton.Paman kedokteran & kedokteran..yudi tbi
Have to say it: I've believed after seeing his other interviews, c.r. misses the mark as an interviewer.
Brenda Warren The first time I saw him, I was struck by his overt stupidity. Nothing since then has altered my view.
Planes, 🚂 and automobiles
Edith Wharton ?
Etiquette Of Imposture
Theodor Impostured A Fictional Character But Wharton's Etiquette Concerns The Imposture Of Distanceable Strangers
A truly great Long Islander. RIP Michael
11:32
I guess he was too real for thm after a time.. meaning that virtue sig bout Iraq didnt ward off the fearful, of his mind/mouth.
Wish State of Fear was available here as an audio book. Perhaps the left forbids it.
Shame I didnt know thag Michael had become so right wing by this point
Lol. Questioning things isn't political.
28:15
dude we watchn some shills
OMG, Charlie... scoldn this dude on character development.. read someone else for that.. he's got a niche, it wrks... WTH?
I love Michael but when he came to Freud I disagree with him. The recent studies shows that the primacy of early childhood does impact the adult life.
The Boston Research Group has observed this via the Implicit Relational Knowledge, Neurosciences validated it as well and how brain is shaped through interactions with the environment and the primary caregiver. Jung, with his Word Association Test, dating back to 1902, discovered the complexes with their extreme powerful autonomy. These complexes are linked to the independent findings of the Boston Research Group and neorosciences as well. (That's why Freud was so interested in Jung)
As for the Superego, well, we all have an internalised voice that can actually wreak havoc with our intentions whenever it is activated. This supergo is closely linked to the society norm, to one own's family norm and so on and so forth. Once these norms are internalised, well... brace yourself!
I'm actually a psychologist and a trainee psychotehrapist, I described myself as a Jungian, and even though Freud and Jung fractured eachother that doesn't mean I don't recognise the benefits of Freudian thinking. Freud got many things wrong but he got many things right.
