I think most of it is baked in. We’re several generations removed from sanity. And since most people are getting their morals and ideas from institutions rather than their families, there are very few people who can legitimately pull us back. We don’t have a large population of realists who view the world empirically and make decisions based on reality. Ukraine support is based on Marvel Comics thinking. Ukraine was invaded and therefore is the good guy. Good guys always win in the movies, therefore they will win. Just ignore the population difference, the weapons, the aging draftees that Ukraine abducts off the streets, and the fact that nuclear war threatens.

Agree 100% from another ordinary UK citizen that's old enough, educated enough and been through enough to recognise the total folly and self destruction of much of "western do-gooders" that can't even recognise terrorists when they are right in their faces. The will bring down western society, the greatest pinnacle of human achievement in history, both technologically and politically, but that "fairness" had lead to its self destruction. We have a small chance to stand up and be counted but somehow I don't have much faith in our ability to change course.
they don't believe it to be untrue they just don't care that it is true. and they have no interest in learning the facts of a complex conflict because they have no frame of reference. they are unteachable. expect everything.
Thank you both. A most insightful discussion. It's a shame that actual history is not being taught to students in high school and college. I fear for the future.
Actually it is being played out on campuses in America today. They are persecuting the Jews with the pro Hamas protesters. He was comparing Rome to what is happening today.
He is correct. The worst destruction weren’t done by the Avars. They were uneducated and were looking for a place to farm and sleep. The worst was the Huns. Attila I remember learnt Latin, Greek and had stayed in Roman system and was treated fairly. He was educated; he knows the system and therefore able to break the system.
I remember a quote from a Marine who fought in Vietnam and later went on be Rhode Scholar, "We are not the top species on the planet because we nice, we are a very aggressive, and the veneer of civilization is very thin"
Conversations between these two men are a must see. So much wisdom from VDH. The weakness of the West is incredibly concerning, and I don't see an end to this weakness any time soon.
These two Gentlemen are articulate, knowledgeable, interesting and just bloody smart. Loved their conversation. Very enjoyable, and much to think about........
It should be " Hard times create strong leaders, strong leaders create prosperity, prosperity creates weak leaders, weak leaders create hard times". It's not the people in society that are the problem but the ones who lead the society
We have those graphic scenes to this day and some of them are very recent and extremely brutal. They are still being allowed right up to 2024. It is known who the perpetrators are and yet it continues.
Great interview and illuminating conversation between one of the best interviewers and the world class historical and political mind of Professor Hanson. Quite shocking in its analogy of the present world wide situation, and the total blindness to the reality and dangers of that to western civilisation by the far left, unfortunately severely indoctrinated, young generations.
A far right racist nutter given to making rules about history (a sure sign of an ideological fanatic). One who loves war (as do most fascists), despite what he says, but curiously has never fought in one.
When you fear God, you will fear nothing else. Please lose no time in knowing Almighty God by praying to Him and reading His Word-the Holy Bible starting from New Testament. May God bless you.
What for? USA always exporting the wars and misery around the world. You have more than 800 military bases around the world. You have"right" to interfere every country on the world. And, you are scared in your drywall home...? Pathetic and pity. Sorry.
Yes ‘very soft generations in the west’ is exactly part of the problem. Where are the wise, the truly intelligent, those who care about their country? Where are the leaders of strength and bravery. Can they be counted or is the most they can manage grumbles and complaints.
They rise in times of motivation. The people are behind the leaders and everyone does their part. They fall through complacency, everybody becomes lazy.
The West Forgot About God To Their Shame! Finland 🇫🇮 has been wise they have kept up their military defence and have fall-out shelters for most of their population - well done!
He reveals stuff we shouldve heard loud and clear in the news but I never heard of before. He actually knows what is and has been happenning in geopolitics as historical events.
None of this came out about what really happened to the Jewish woman and children a year ago in Isreal. That had to have been demons possessing Hamas. Isreal is fighting a demonic filled terrorists group. God help Isreal.
Currently I am reading about the Brnze Age Collapse at the end of the 13th century BC. Myceneans, Minoans, Hittitesi Mitanni, Ugarit; all disappeared in a relatively brief period. . Some were lost t such a degree that they were unknown to the ancients that succeeded them, only to be rediscovered in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Bronze Age collapse is quite interesting. For the time global trade routes fall apart, great empires decay and cease to exist, it does seem like a parallel to our time.
I'd argue that his points are mostly about after the fall of civilization has already been decided many years ago. The underestimating of your opponents, false sense of security, and all the other mistakes tend to be the symptom of the problem rather than the problem. Even when you cover up all those weaknesses (eg. The Roman republic turning into the roman empire) their fall is still decided at that point. It's just delayed. What truly decides the fall is when the process of correcting flaws and improving what is starts to falter. Either because it has slowed down or because it is corrupted for another purpose. Eventually the common flaws of humanity (arrogance, inertia/laziness, greed, etc.) catch up, even when you cover up those weaknesses with good systems (like the Romans did) slowly but surely they still creep in where those systems are imperfect until eventually it falls.
Mankind obsesses with the fear of Nuclear weapons and war and to be certain these things are horrible. But the real concern is the average person. The most dangerous thing isn’t the weapons or war, it’s the people who are cold, hungry and believe they have no hope that they feel they have nothing to lose and they become determine to do unimaginable to survive.
I almost wish that Mr. Hanson was in politics. He is realistic, pragmatic, and besides being quite the intellectual, just has plain, old-fashioned common sense.
The Iranian rocket attack gave the impression that it was staged, due to the noticeably delayed response (giving away any opportunity for surprise), and the lack of damage it caused in Israel. I wouldn't be surprised if this particular attack was the result of a third party brokering some deal behind the scenes, saving the face of the Ayatollah regime somewhat, while preventing major damage in Israel and further escalation in the region for the time being.
Humanity gets to its nadir quickest if a religion can be co-opted into the argument. In modern times it is this assault that presents the biggest challenge. Only pre-emptive and decisive action will stop the deluge of inhumanity it represents. That Israel still stands is a testament to everything that is truly amazing in our species. #IStandWithIsrael
In the higher ages in India the fall of civilization was blamed in marrying down. That does not mean a person with money and education marrying a person without. It had more to do with the quality of the persons; their lifestyle; their openness to things; and if not having had the chance for a formal education engaging in lifelong learning to compensate. Engaging in lifelong learning is considered praiseworthy whether having had a formal education or not. People of high intellectual status marrying people of low intellectual status whose whole focus is in accumulation of goods or things is what was believed to lower civilization. It is likely true because once the emphasize is on goods rather than on virtue and on learning the civilization is on the ropes.
No mention of the "Nakba" involving the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. John Anderson, coming from Australia, would be familiar with his country's longstanding 'terra nullius' doctrine ( 'the land belonged to no one') that ignored Aboriginal settlement, until that fiction was overturned by the High Court in 1992.

I think Mr. Hanson should re-evaluate his position in life. I would think that someone who is a tenured professor that has a net worth of over $5m, probably twice that amount with savings and investment accounts, so let’s say $7.5million, would be very grateful for what he has been afforded in life. I can promise you that he attained most of his wealth in the last 30 years and guess what, we have had 5 terms of Dem Presidents and 3 terms of Rep Presidents. Had things been so bad under Democrats then I don’t think he would be sitting on a $7.5m nest egg and still working at a prestigious university. If the economy had been so bad and Dems were going to ruin America then how could he still be profiting selling his books. I don’t want to hear anyone with that much money complaining about how Dems are ruining our society while going to bed every night feeling safe and secure in their lavished home, not wanting for food or money and getting up the next morning and driving in their luxury car to lecture students on how anyone is ruining our country. People like you disgust me because you have forgotten just how good you have had it in life!
They've never officially acknowledged them. In the 1950's France worked with them on the Negev research center in Dimona. It's estimated that in the late 1960's they had nukes. We know that they worked with South Africa in the 1970's with their program, and some believe that were behind a 1979 test that was caught by a supposed decommissioned U.S. satellite over Prince Edward Island. Estimates of their aresenal widely vary from 65-400 warheads, but as of today nothing is conclusive. Rumors of them deploying the "Samson Option" in a total loss scenario have been around for over 50 years.
China has to go 80 miles plus to invade Tawain. Invading across and ocean is very difficult. The Chinese have to face allies of Vietnam, India, Australia, Phillips, USA and Japan. All China has on her side is North Korea. I don't think China can do it. Plus, the nation's navies of Briton and France, plus Nato allies are considering helping. I think China should just give up on this war. It is in her best interest to back off, but that doesn't mean that is what is going to happen.

I 2010 i wrote in a comment to a friend that has Phd in Bio Tech from Cal Tech that the world was facing a New Dark.Age where Islam was to be the likely benificary. He responded, "Take a chill pill." Well here we are some 14 years later that VDH is now taking the subject seriously. Over the years in my commentaries I have repeatedly said that Human Beings are nothing but babarous little monkeys in a tree that have pretensions of being civilized. That the monkey you have to look out for is the one staring down at you from the tree who is smiling at you. For he knows he is a barbarous little monkey and he is sizing you up to be his dinner tonight. Also i have repeatedly commented that if push comes to shove and Israel is on the verge of extinction that they would use their nuclear arsenal to light up the entire mideast turning it into a glass table top. That is what NEVER AGAIN means. They will not go into that good night complacently. The collapse of W Civ is nye. The complacency the corruption the greed the hubris and wholesale abandonment of ethics faith and morality have led us to the nadir and eclipse of civilization. This is akin to the mythological end of Alantis where the Alantis Paradigm applies.
8:25: All these smart people wanting Hamas and Palestine to succeed. I reckon its because everyone is becoming so tired of our current society. It feels like we're all having to work to absolute perfection, because those with 180 billion to their name are still not satisfied and want more. People want change. Big changes.

They've never officially acknowledged them. In the 1950's France worked with them on the Negev research center in Dimona. It's estimated that in the late 1960's they had nukes. We know that they worked with South Africa in the 1970's with their program, and some believe that were behind a 1979 test that was caught by a supposed decommissioned U.S. satellite over Prince Edward Island.
Estimates of their aresenal widely vary from 65-400 warheads, but as of today nothing is conclusive. Rumors of them deploying the "Samson Option" in a total loss scenario have been around for over 50 years.
Its not a "soft generation" thats the problem but soft leaders
China has to go 80 miles plus to invade Tawain. Invading across and ocean is very difficult. The Chinese have to face allies of Vietnam, India, Australia, Phillips, USA and Japan. All China has on her side is North Korea. I don't think China can do it. Plus, the nation's navies of Briton and France, plus Nato allies are considering helping. I think China should just give up on this war. It is in her best interest to back off, but that doesn't mean that is what is going to happen.
The world has bore witness to so much carnation, death and suffering but I believe they’re numb to the reality that they’re living in unfazed by the inevitable dangers, aliyah head Lookout in action. It will fall upon them like rain before they know it’s coming.
John, in many countries 'Law and Order', 'Decency and Civility', 'Morals and Code' matter but not in the West, in fact perversity, debauchery, peadophilia and criminality have become the flag bearers of Western life which is why we are in decline, why we are broke, why we are nihilists, why we are without a compassed True North - choices have consequences!!!
VDH are AIPAC member?
Isaiah 5:20
I 2010 i wrote in a comment to a friend that has Phd in Bio Tech from Cal Tech that the world was facing a New Dark.Age where Islam was to be the likely benificary. He responded, "Take a chill pill." Well here we are some 14 years later that VDH is now taking the subject seriously.
Over the years in my commentaries I have repeatedly said that Human Beings are nothing but babarous little monkeys in a tree that have pretensions of being civilized. That the monkey you have to look out for is the one staring down at you from the tree who is smiling at you. For he knows he is a barbarous little monkey and he is sizing you up to be his dinner tonight.
Also i have repeatedly commented that if push comes to shove and Israel is on the verge of extinction that they would use their nuclear arsenal to light up the entire mideast turning it into a glass table top. That is what NEVER AGAIN means. They will not go into that good night complacently.
The collapse of W Civ is nye. The complacency the corruption the greed the hubris and wholesale abandonment of ethics faith and morality have led us to the nadir and eclipse of civilization. This is akin to the mythological end of Alantis where the Alantis Paradigm applies.
Ah, Thomas Hobbes was on to something...
7:44 “putting a child in a microwave” Is there proof of this or is it like the 40 decapitated babies?
8:25: All these smart people wanting Hamas and Palestine to succeed. I reckon its because everyone is becoming so tired of our current society. It feels like we're all having to work to absolute perfection, because those with 180 billion to their name are still not satisfied and want more. People want change. Big changes.
Israel is not western
It's something else
what kind of books did the nazis burn?
