      Absolutely. The past seems to be in danger of being eradicated in the name of political correctness and diversity. Dictators rewrite history. I saw David Lammy refer to the last war as the European Project. I doubt that the millions who died around the world saw it that way. He is the sort of idiot we don't need. My solicitor puts it well. To know where we are going we have to know where we have been. We are supposed to learn from the past, to respect it but not be bound by it.

      @chris andrewes true, but if you could really grasp the gargantuan size of the nation and how expensive it is to travel then youd understand it.
      Education in usa is propagandised due to usa origins and the desire to disassociate with Europe for obvious and good reason. My husband is American, I live here. I've dispelled a lot of myths for him about Europe and England and he's seen it for himself since he's traveled to Europe since meeting me. I traveled to usa since meeting him.
      We are lucky to have so many cultures on the doorstep of uk.
      Usa isn't. They are 4000 miles away. A trip to Europe costs a bomb. There is an infinite number of places to visit within the usa. You could visit a different state every year and be middle aged before you cross the border.
      It took me some time to get my head around the vastness that is usa.
      They are also taught that usa is the best and the first for technology, luxury, everything. So many genuinely believe that nowhere else comes close.
      I've lost count of the number of people whove asked me if its better here. My response is always the same...
      Its as good as ... in different ways.
      What you lose in one comfort you gain in another. One saud "it must be a culture shock" i said, not even slightly, ive been to africa and Egypt, THAT is a culture shock, this isnt. He laughed but im not sure he knew what I meant. And why would he? He's never seen anything like that.
      Our view is shaped by experience.
      My husband has developed a keen interest in the world. I've developed a keen interest and a loyalty to usa. I didnt expect that. But I love it here. I love the wide open space. And people aren't as ignorant as you may think. Some are, but britain has its own share. Nowhere has the monopoly on ignorance.

      Actually at the time of Rousseau there wasn’t as clear a delineation between France and Switzerland as there is now. Also Geneva was very independent at that time.
      Again, as for Burke, at that time Ireland wasn’t an autonomous state. It was run from British Parliament so it was, even before the official Union, was very much a part of British society and culture.
      Also please understand the contexts when Starkey is talking about what are seemingly contradictory comments. This highlights a limit in your thinking methodology. You’re thinking in too absolutist/black and white terms.

      Thankfully my Father was my history teacher from a very young age. He's obsessed with the American Civil War, but has always been more than happy to discuss and argue over other points in history with me. Granted it helped that he bought me games like Age of Empires that became a favourite of mine from 4 years old and onwards, all of the Total War series (that has some fascinating descriptions of all the units, and piqued my interest enough as a young teen to read Wikipedia entries on specific battles or regiments, tactics etc.), and he was always buying me age appropriate books on history and the world like the 100 things you should know about castles, 100 things you should know about birds etc. right up to full on biographies of Napoleon or books on ancient Rome, Sparta, Athens etc..
      I say this because all my teachers knew absolutely nothing about history or were so unenthusiastic, that I would have loathed it had I not had the best teacher a boy could've had growing up, my Dad!

    • @warmflash
      @warmflash 4 роки тому +24

      Until roughly the late 2000s, Canada’s identity was rooted largely in the idea that we were a poorer but more conscientious sidekick to America. Our whole multilateral (and occasionally pacifistic) shtick on the world stage, not to mention our system of cultural subsidies, was based on the conceit that our relative smallness and poverty compared to the United States masked some kind of well-hidden reserve of moral superiority. It was an insecure, passive-aggressive posture that often expressed itself as peevish anti-Americanism. But at the very least, it acted as a binding agent for an English-speaking Canadian intellectual establishment whose common culture otherwise was confined to hockey, cold weather and universal health care.
      # But during the Obama years, all of this was thrown into confusion, because the housing-loan crisis smashed America without much affecting Canada. Suddenly, we were no longer the poor cousin. At almost exactly the same time, Barack Obama’s election in the United States, coupled with Stephen Harper’s rise in Canada, reversed the left-right political valence that had powered Canadians’ sense of moral superiority since the early years of the Cold War. Suddenly, we were the bad guys, and the whole organizing principle of Canadian intellectual life began to collapse. Into this vacuum came Idle No More, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the MMIWG report, the Indigenous backlash to Canada 150 - and Trudeau, whose political instincts are rooted in the confessional, self-lacerating spirit of political correctness that began to infect campus life at McGill University (and elsewhere) in the late 1980s and early ’90s. Twenty years ago, we bashed America. In 2020, we bash us.
      # These things move in cycles, and it is possible that in a few years we may be facing the opposite problem: a populist counter-revolt that leads to a real culture of nativism and xenophobia in Canada. But given the blurring of social justice and environmentalism into a de facto religious movement, it’s also possible to imagine that in my lifetime, B.C. will elect a hyper-progressive provincial government that truly does subordinate itself to some kind of as-yet-undefined overarching system of Indigenous spiritual or moral leadership. Even parts of Ontario and Atlantic Canada could succumb to this sort of phenomenon, with only Quebec, I think, being completely immune.
      # Ironically, many Indigenous people would themselves be horrified by such an economically regressive development, as they have just now gotten a seat at the table when it comes to pursing their just share of Canadian economic spoils. But recent developments show clearly that the Canadian left honours Indigenous people more as noble-savage protest mascots than as flesh-and-blood humans with real economic needs.
      # If there’s a ray of hope, it lies in the next generation of leaders, who will be today’s immigrants from China, India, Philippines, Syria and a hundred other places. These are people whose families came to Canada for a better life. And that better life did not include marching through the streets, ululating fidelity to Gaia and self-flagellating with barbed-wire dream-catchers. It wasn’t their grandparents who ran the residential schools, after all, and few of them are stained with the Canadian Mark of Cain. These are the people who will finally put a punctuation mark at the end of the mania for weeping contrition that’s taken hold of this country. They are the ones who will stand up and say, “there was a time for apologies, but that time is over.”
      # Trudeau and the people around him are clearly not capable of doing this. Nor is the aging crew of guilt-addled old-stock Canadians clinging to leadership in Canadian media and arts. If they’re looking for a way to demonstrate their “allyship” with both Indigenous people and new Canadian immigrants alike, the best option might be to simply pack up shop, let a new generation take over and retire to that great unspoiled Canadian wilderness whose sanctity they have long purported to protect.

I've agree about misplaced religiosity - veganism, gender & other activism, etc. - which occurs when people lose spirituality & the community support from traditional religion. Honestly, I encourage everyone to make the CHOICE to believe & act accordingly, bc every study shows that spiritual people are happier, healthier & longer-lived. Faith is a choice & spirituality is a practice, like fitness. It's the best gift you can give yourself & pass on to your family & community. We make CHOICES about what to believe every day, textbook authors, science experts writing online, politicians on Twitter. Might as well choose a set of beliefs that will positively impact you & your society

He clearly was having fun, and his wicked sense of humor came through. He has no respect for sacred cows. I also totally concur with the notion that we have replaced one dogma with another, i.o.w in the absence of one religion, we will find another. Despite being raised in Catholic Irish schools, I have never been blessed with a faith in the hereafter. My legacy will be what I do and who I positively affect in this lifetime.

    Dr Starkey is very good at seeing parallels in history. I think this is because his study of the Tudors, where the world was in transition out of medievalism, through the Renaissance, towards the Enlightenment gives him a very good perspective, looking backwards and forwards. This enables him to see patterns with later historical revolutions and philosophical developments, as well. They should listen to this in sixth forms and universities.

    I haven't heard Dr Starkey be quite this funny before. Very entertaining. Thanks.

    What a joy to listen to Dr. David. I hope we don't let just one word, perhaps said a little too rashly, 'cancel' 'disappear' or lead to him becoming a 'non-person'.

    fascinating interview with this educated and informed man. so pleased that he is now coming back from his "cancellation" and is able to spread his wisdom. And yes, the wokerati would burn you at the stake if they could.

      I'm quite glad someone caught that and managed to squeeze it by the youtube censors.
      Brilliant.

      Delta Fox I don’t understand your issue. You’re saying her got away with saying it because he’s a ‘homosexual’? So, you are happy with UA-cam censorship? I actually had a friend who was a post-op, REGRETTED it greatly, lamented their folly and lives with such a ‘vagina’. I’m rather more concerned with a comment from someone that can not appreciate humour, tugs on the apron strings on censorship, and implies, rather in a slightly homophobic and anti-intellectual way, that he ‘got away with it’ because he put on his Oscar Wilde hat and wasn’t sat near gotcha Stasi journalists, and that he really ought to be open to being ‘clubbed to death’ for joke. That’s awfully creepy.

      @Delta Fox I thought Cul-Du-Sac was a fitting analogy for a non biologically functioning orifice.

    David is always so on point, but he's just about the only academic who can explain why, with such lucid credibility.

    Brilliant discussion - especially the mention of G. K. Chesterton! He warned of the terrible consequences when common sense becomes no longer common.

    When Starkey described Suzanne Moore's hair as "shark's fin soup," I knew I was dealing with an extraordinary mind.

    Quarantine enabled me to listen to the whole six and a half hours of Stephen Hicks explaining Post-Modernism, and its root in Rousseau in particular which Starkey nails here. If you want your mind expanding and grounding, let alone being able to tear a new arse in any "progressive" you come across, I can highly recommend it

    My son and I often discuss 'history' together. He asked me the other day what it is about history that attracts me. I answered him via email as we are both in physical isolation in different parts of the country. Here is the answer I gave: no edits - warts and all.
    I think about people and life and though I can never know the point of our existence - because there isn’t one - except for the one we make for ourselves, I can at least understand how our forefathers coped with the ‘point’ and the ‘creation' of one for themselves. I can try to understand what they were trying to do and trying to achieve, given what they knew and believed then.
    We today are the outcome, if not the point, of their existence, if you think about it. So, to understand us today implies a need to understand them.
    We, and the way we think about the world today and the universe, are the sum total of all their thoughts, their twists and turns and their experiments in life. Everything we are, how we think, speak and conduct ourselves today, comes from things that have happened already. The past. History. For there is yet nothing in front of us but our dreams.

      My solicitor puts it beautifully. To get to where we are going we have to know where we have been.
