First time I've seen James O'Brian look genuinely happy after talking to someone
Never believe O'Brien, he's a phony.
This is because James O'Brien always thinks hes's right but he has realised, belatedly, that he has been badly wrong on many points.

An incredible way to think about politics, I wish more people could see this.
Agreed 💯
A comparison would be for people against big corporations one would be a massive black hole and the other would be a small moon :-)
@@Kiltking a moon is one n mostly at night!!!!!
Well, when politics started to get dominated by a certain profession, aka lawyers, the quality certainly went in one direction...
That there is no one to vote for ?
Possibly the best, most thought provoking and stimulating guest I’ve heard on this podcast. And there have been many interesting guests previously.
How refreshing to hear such a lucid and fascinating character able to articulate with such clarity in a way that so many can appreciate.
True ‘wow factor’ stuff!
I spend too much time listening to people like James when I should be listening more of people like Brian.
Just love the discussion, most refreshingly straight talking.
there’s no politics involved here brian isn’t trying to win anyone over he’s fantastic
This clip really needs to be shared.
Absolutely brilliant.
Quantum Mechanics, James understands a social life outside work
It's not just what is being said that makes you listen,but if it's done with a smile it helps.
very strange seeing JOB with a smile
Great show, my first time!! Brian is a lovely lad, very clever with a great sense of humour and a true national treasure to the United Kingdom!! Thumbs up LBC
@@Millie.com232 Sorry if I offended
Yes…spot on professor Brian. There is too much division in this country. We should think about each others perceptions and ideas and compromise more and try to be more loving. Love is the answer.
Gammons don’t compromise
Divisions??? Where?
@@pauls3204 And stupidest comment of the day goes to .........Paul.
Well done Paul.
U can't compromise, accommodate mo like!!!!
@@pauls3204 Actually they are the only side who do. The far left are akin to nazis and want to shut down every speech or idea from anyone who does not think their way. I do find it cute and scary how you're soo oblivious and ignorant to this while calling other people names... see my point exactly.
I have always admired the prof - even more so now. I am always happy to listen to him. Oh that some of our politicians, 'political leaders' would.
The idea that a politician should actually listen to someone else is, I am afraid, an anathema
@@lensappeal That was my immediate thought - the politicians would have to want to know about the community, or society or whatever, they would have to care. And it's been proven many times over that they really, really don't. They don't want co-operation, they want to rule to their own benefit.
Is he a prof ?
@@Berry-fr5wj yes, professor of something physics. Also ex pop star. Some people have much more interesting lives than me!
@@Berry-fr5wj Professor of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester and The Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science... so a double prof :P
It's really is that simple. Not one answer, but a combination to make to one thing work. Love it. Love it!💚🖖
@LB THINGS, STUFF & MORE "It's really is that simple." - No, it certainly is NOT. Try to think critically, for a change... (If you can.)
@@nicadi2005 Also known as Democracy (like actual true Democracy) some call it Anarchism.
@@nicadi2005 what an arrogant reply
@@LordGreatBritain it may sound arrogant but is this Person wrong? There are some "battles" that must be fought not everything can be compromised. and some positions are too extreme to compromise with. for example what would a compromise with the KKK Look like?
@@nicadi2005 The principle is simple, the application is complex and hard. And there is no one size fits all solution that works everywhere and for all times. That critical enough for you?
The most well reasoned and persuasive argument against extremism I've heard, made extremely easy to understand. Unfortunately, extremism makes people feel safe because they need some sort of certainty, some desire to push as hard as possible in one direction just to be safe and certain.
What extremism ? The one against the oligharchy or the establishment , they run ? Extremism apposed to existentialism, we are turkies voting for Christmas
"Extremism"... *sigh* can't help but feel people ought to be way more uncomfortable with this word. It really is the trendy new label to not say the bad thing out loud with, much like communist before it, or savage before that. Does it really not simply boil down to, far too often to not be practically equivalent, a simple idea of otherhood? I dunno, maybe you have to know what it's like to be oppressed by a calm person, before you get how scary it is to have a word like that bandied about without any respect for its power in doing so.
@@Torthrodhel Extremeism isn't a new phrase at all. What has changed is people becoming more zealous and going further in one direction. More extremeism. Safe to say, I don't need to provide a list of examples!
@@MrLtia1234 don't be blatantly twisty, I wasn't suggesting it's a "new phrase" at all. All of the words that have got politically weaponized existed long before. Making up a brand new word wouldn't work nearly as well as using one that's already in circulation. What's changed, all that's changed, is people jumping on it as the new one after the next-older one got worn out. You don't need to provide a list of examples because there were ALWAYS a list of examples. That's not new either. It's just that some of the things on those would-be lists wouldn't have been classified as 'extremism' before, but are now.
@@Torthrodhel 'People jumping on it as the new one' isn't really a thing - it's been a commonly used phrase for decades. It was used for the IRA, for example.
Like I said, the only thing that has really changed is people becoming more zealous and extreme. Just ask the government who they are needing to keep track of.
James you never even tried to tell him you knew everything WOW
A class act. Unlike those ignorant, self-serving, morally bankrupt confidence tricksters purporting to run this country.
You sound open minded
The irony of this comment after listening to a message of tolerance is incredible.
@@michaelmc7353 I mean it's not a false statement though.
@@michaelmc7353 you've given a nice demonstration of the paradox of tolerance.
@@solentforest I don't think you understand what the paradox of tolerance is.
Both of those men are a class act.
O’Brien was completely out of his depth…..very funny with his bemused ‘ blimey’ at the end.
Yeah we agree James O'Brien is well out of his depth here.
🤣🤣🤣 Really??
Not O'brien he's a lefty scumbag!!!!
@Dedbeatz....Not O'brien, he's a lefty scumbag!
Excellent youtube Experience.
Did it give you an epileptic fit ?
Brilliant thinking from brilliant men !!! My way isn’t the only way !!!
We NEED conversations like this. Great stuff.
What two people saying the same thing to each other to get social justice points from their establishment run cancelling masters
Greatly enjoyed this one, thank you.
The world needs more science. Excellent discussion and exchange of thoughts
I listened to the full podcast today, an enjoyable and thought provoking hour.
Unlike the usual dross O'brian comes out with,then!
It'll take a quantum leap for the Conservative government to understand, that they are in office to serve all people in this country and not just themselves and the rich.
Stop begging
But if they did that, they wouldn't be Tories.
They understand, it's why they've been attacking the humanities and social sciences for decades.
Therein lies the chasm between those who chose to serve their fellow citizens, and those who use public office to enrich themselves and their political donors. The individuals change, but the behaviour persists.
@@DJWESG1 Excellent point. Keep the masses uneducated and void from critical thinking and research. Then bombard them with three word slogans and propaganda, and create scapegoat enemies for the masses to blame.
so sensible ,so intelligent, so personable. and so right. Brian is an amazing guy
That was a pleasure to listen to
Which is why we need proportional representation!
No
oppenheimer never heard of fptp
The only way the liberal woke cretins can get their foot in the door because most normal people never vote for them!!! 🤣🤣
@@nathanfurnival8724 Why not ?
@@saaversteen PR would be the equivalent of a Grand Unified Theory in physics. Combining the two mutually exclusive systems of Relativity & Quantum Dynamics...
Been saying this for years, these systems won't work if its all of one or all of another. Nature doesn't work that way and nor does society. You need balance, as with all things. As soon as modern politics turned into winners and losers, we all lost.
Wish there was more of us, always said if everything in life is balance why do we one pick one half of a whole doesn't make sense
Proportional representation (better balance) is absolutly essential after the revolution.
Just found that there’s a video production of Full Disclosure.. awesome!
Ooh superb, absolutely love it. Off to listen to the full interview now!
My spirits lifted when I read the intro to this video!!!
Great interview. His remarks remind me of "The job of a politician is not to do what is popular but to do the right thing and to make it popular." ~ Walter Scheel
How undemocratic.
And who decides what is right?
PE, that doesn`t quite sound like democracy to me!
signposts and weathercocks
Think the point was, nothing is the right answer in politics, only theories like in science
Wonderful - insightful and just proper ‘grown up’ thinking. We need more of these people
Can anyone honestly imagine Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak being able to make a positive contribution to this discussion?
Because one’s a woman and one’s brown ? Lefty hate
@@nathanfurnival8724 No, because one of them is an idiot, the other one is a billionaire, tax-evading hypocrite.
@@nathanfurnival8724 because they're self-serving. But you like that huh
@@nathanfurnival8724 you're the only one who's brought that up. Give your head a wobble.
Anyway, one would be too busy impoverishing deprived urban areas and the other one would be too busy droning on about cheese imports to contribute anything useful har har har
No, not a positive contribution.
Cant go too far wrong having Brian on for a chat. A grounded guy with an immense brain
Thank you Brian, all people should learn this and hold the idea of the dialectic in there head! We are always living in a contradiction and that's the beauty of it all.
love it!
Great video
When I studied philosophy many years ago the importance of complexity, probability and uncertainty in all areas of human endeavour and science was drummed into us.
The weird thing is that the government has a fair number of PPE graduates from Oxford. Wonder what they teach on that course? Of course Bunter did classics and fancies himself as Emperor Nero or Caligula or similar evil genius
still trying to drum it into my students currently- though in design field rather than philosophy
@@global_nomad. Well done ...teachers like you are needed badly.
This is a fantastic conversation
This was beautiful.
JOB take a bow sir.🏴🤝🏴⚖️
Excellent, thkz
What a legend. I’m seeing him at the Brighton centre at the end of the month and can’t wait.
Love these ...
Fascinating guest, I'll have to listen to the full podcast now!
Why don't we have people like this in government?
That professor is awesome, always enjoy listening to his words. He's so gifted
This is sociology, you have your individual and you have a social system. It is both an nether at the same time.
Two of my heroes.
Brilliant
Brian for Prime Minister, easy win. Imagine if we had physicists running a country, the economy would be sorted and dare I say, an attempt at world peace.
That's like saying my mechanic would be great at running the economy, and neither Brian or my mechanic are economic experts
What a brilliant idea
I like that idea!!
The Germans had a scientist in Merkel. Given the length of her tenure, the challenge Germany faced, she & her country did rather well.
@@Steve0272. you are right but they could pick an honest team. A mechanic would a great PM. Practical, logical and mostly able to empathise with the common working people.
This was a beautiful description
So well put.
How refreshing to find ( on UA-cam) two intelligent people talking intelligently
Incredible interview
Brilliant
You're both brilliant James. Could listen to you both talk for hours. IF ONLY there where people like both of you running the joint!!! Instead of these narcissistic greedy numpties that somehow manage to get into positions of power.
One reason people like James and Brian do not run things is that they are intelligent, self-aware individuals clever enough to know there are two sides to every argument and with a healthy degree of self doubt. People devoid of those attributes are the ones who cry 'back me, back me'. We should question why we cannot get more worthy individuals into the political arena - and I doubt the answer will reflect well on the general public.
Then we can ask the question. Why do the people vote narcissistic greedy numpties into positions of power.? BTW Who did you vote for?
@@avitarmageddon1721 They could start their own political party.
@@iociccio936 - you mean freemasons surely
A very, very worthwhile watch.
Boy this content is gold. Discussion of ideas. My cup of tea. Keep them coming.
I don't think UK politics works like that. They aren't all arguing in a attempt to push through their political vision in a straightforward manner. They are arguing as a diversion in order to push through whatever their donor wants. It's complicated of course, but we live in a representative democracy where the rich are the ones being represented.
Fantastic. . . 👍👍
The problem today is that half the people want to learn from their ignorance while the other half wear their willful ignorance as a badge of honour.
I love both of these minds!
I have this little book on Geometry.
It uses an Abraham Lincoln story that made me think I was wasting my time with this one.
How wrong I was.
Knowing what you are saying is very difficult as you can see by my comment.
Brilliant video.
It’s amaaaaazing….
is the full video podcast available anywhere, not just audio but the full video?
thanks i am now uplifted
Doff cap
Nice change to see JOB being quiet and letting someone else express an idea.
Very interesting indeed
The problem is that the best minds don't want to be in Politics because it's all about winning the argument for yourself and your party than what's necessarily best for the people - and that applies to every single MP !
The thing that struck me the most, straight after the moment of realisation, was a sick little beat
Incredible pair these two
1st time I’ve ever seen O’Brian not acting like a bully victim! Bless him
Never heard of this guy. He sounds like a good 'un. (As opposed to these thickos that are ruling us at present.) Just compare him to Truss and Sunak.
Ones a woman and one is brown, what are you saying? Lefty racism and sexism yet again it’s sickening
@@nathanfurnival8724 What?
@@nathanfurnival8724 reckon between you and Trevor the only one who said those two things was you.
@@nathanfurnival8724 ??? he saying there thicko's why you bringing raceand gender into it, grow up
@@nathanfurnival8724 And the biggest failure at trolling award goes to.... drum roll please... NATHAN FURNIVAL!!!! STEP RIGHT UP AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!
Two of my favorite people
Lovely!
Love it
the only problem with this argument, which is absolutely correct of course, is that a proportion of politicians very likely didnt get into politics to serve the wider public interest, but got into politics simply to serve themselves.
I feel like this is one of the great problems of our time, weeding out the imposters and bad actors. Unfortunately, in addition to so many people clearly being easy to fool, there are endless organisations, businesses and individuals who gain so much from never having them see the light.
I always listen to full disclosure, I wish sometimes i could watch it but I wouldn't know how to do that.....does anyone know where I can?
James....He clearly thinks you are a Helmet!
This must be such a relief for J O'B after speaking with politicians and some the callers to his show :)
Amazing. the incomprehensible explaining the incomprehensible!
Like how it is simultaneously necessary that essentials for life are guaranteed by the community but needs to leave market freedom for luxury purchases up to and including conspicuous consumption.
Neither unchecked capitalism nor totalitarian communism but the right application of models for the right purposes.
Thanks for the ideal set up to wording Brian.
What an incredibly beautiful mind!
Thank you

There's so much to learn from the great phylosophers humankind has produced.

A superb comparison. Totally relevant to both the quantum and human world.
Exactly what the symbol Yin & Yang symbolizes and comes down to one thing, balance.
Also, his usage of one story to tell another, story of my life
I thought about this. You can create the most harmonious, productive, happy society where everyone is on the same page. But the moment somebody gives birth reality changes and the potential for change or rebellion is born.
Can't wait for Openheimmer movie
I knew an academic once and he farted so loud but even his farts made sense! He recited pie to Popeye but got confused and ate Popsy! A right old right angles to do! Humans want money and live well! This is intelligence beyond my comprehension test where I scored 45 pencils.
Mr Brian with his unsure smile would argue on behalf of the snowman saying no man had a hand in creating him, the simple snowman simply appeared over a snowfall night with a carrot for a nose in the right position and a scarf around his upper body perfectly proportioned.
Generally, I agree with James, but it also suggests that there's no debate in physics or competing theories.
My favourite analogy is to think of the shadow cast by a cylinder. Hold it one way and the shadow is a circle. Hold it another way and the shadow is a rectangle. So how can something have the characteristics of both a circle and a rectangle, which are totally different shapes? That's sort of the same way an electron can have the characteristics of both a particle and a wave at the same time - it just depends how you look at it.
Thank you Dave, that clarified it for me perfectly
