Conspiracy Theories, Russia & Cancellation, Daniel Pinchbeck
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2022
- This is a wide ranging conversation about conspiracy theories, the occult, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and more with the writer Daniel Pinchbeck.
Over the years Daniel has spent a lot of time investigating alternative narratives including conspiracy, and has been critical of Rebel Wisdom in the past for not taking these seriously enough.
Alongside this conversation we are publishing a long written piece about the subject of conspiracy theories, with special focus on the recent high profile interview of Maajid Nawaz on the Joe Rogan podcast: rebelwisdom.substack.com/p/co...
We also talk about Daniel's high profile sex scandal and 'cancellation'.
You can find Daniel's writing on his Substack here: substack.com/profile/2728693-...
Seriously, why would anyone be interested in this guy`s view on Ukraine?
He has it all wrong .
On the 9 // 11 issue. I'd be interested if you argued with kooks talking about remote control planes with no one on them, or serious people, who for example have questions about why Mossad spies lived next to the hijackers while they prepared, or why Israeli spies were arrested after a random citizen saw them recording the attacks and celebrating as the planes hit the towers, which then led to a massive Mossad spy ring being rolled up, after the spies were held in US custody for months before being quietly deported with no charges.
Or the entire Anthrax plot, which tried to link 9/11 to Iraq and targeted US politicians that opposed the Patriot Act.
There are legitimate factual aspects of 9/11 which are highly suggestive at the very least of prior knowledge of the attacks.
"...we're never going to figure out if 9/11 was orchestrated." Daniel said, "there were so many weird qualities to it."
Weird like what? well, first and foremost the obvious one: how asymmetrical fires caused the symmetrical collapse of 3 steel buildings. Maybe this was "orchestrated" by an Egregore. How else are you going to violate the laws of physics?
Whether one considers an egregore to be a thoughtform, group mind, or entity with agency... It does seem to be the most popular explanation for weirds events these days.
Or just building 7
Salient points imo.
How did the third tower collapse perfectly into its own footprint?
@jason benafre Don't expect an answer, the OP is happy remaining ignorant
I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one disappointed by this.
Daniel Pinchbeck just claimed he's a pacifist whilst simultaneously saying he hopes the USA sends more arms to Ukraine. Some very confused thinking here.
right - very boring talking , they both just retranslate official media views on russian-ukranian situation without any own prospective
they are currently calling it ‘lethal aid’.
Ah yes, the good old pacifist chestnut of how Ukraine should just bend over, start liking being raped, surrender to fascist Russia and then just be OK with massive pogroms and genocide campaigns by the new Russian psychopathic overlords. Very pacifist, much peace loving, and aggressively stupid.
Yes I am a pacifist... ideally I think we need to get beyond wars as a species. Particularly as we are facing an ecological emergency and need all hands on deck. However I don't see how the US and NATO could have avoided getting involved in this war and doing what they are doing now. Could you allow Russia to simply annihilate its neighbor? Apparently a million Ukrainians have been forcibly resettled into Russia with over 100,000 kids who may end up being given to Russian homes to raise. I do think that defeating Russia in this war would be a great thing. I also understand the critique that the US may have been happy for this opportunity to use its military hardware etc and obviously it is a big win for defense contractors. Still, I think the US is doing the necessary thing at the moment. Gandhi also said that violent resistance was needed in situations where passive resistance would not succeed.
@@MrDanielPinchbeck A pacifist is someone who believes that war is unjustifiable. You have just attempted to justify it. For me this does seem like a contradiction.
I don't have any bones to pick with you regarding your stance on the situation in Ukraine although it feels like everyone has to pick a side these days.
Beloved RW, I'm normally one to have an allergic reaction to conspiracy talk. However, I've come to find out that the great reset, CBDCs, and social credit systems are openly talked about among the Davos crowd. Much of this is overblown by the conspiracy minded and ignored by the mainstream. I'd actually love to hear a heterodox take on it by you guys
I think that in Rebel Wisdom's world, conspiracies by definition don't exist.
So you may want to take this inquiry to somebody with the ability to face what you have found.
Keep digging!
The host voicing conclusions for example about 9/11 about conspiracy theories generally and about Putin and Ukraine.
I don’t think either of these men have conducted free inquiry of sufficient reach honesty and Depth on such topics to have their conversation be anything but disappointing to me, certainly not as advertised for what the podcast claims to be about.
I got most of the way through and the most interesting thing is how do people manage to so thoroughly remain constrained within really indefensible limits??
Fear? Lack of honesty with oneself? Clinging to self protective narratives?
Well, I hadn’t read anything of his since the 2012 book. I’ve just been reading his Substack and it’s really disappointing. 😂
The Heard trial is interesting to so many because they themselves may have been abused by family, by friend or employer- and never got justice. The law system failed them or they have longterm damage.
Pinchbeck goes on about Depp’s money and spending choices , says it’s hard to have sympathy for him. He earned it, he can spend it as he likes and he gets robbed on a different scale. He has given employment to many, donated time and money to charities, given free shelter to others, made others wealthy. People lived well off his efforts.
Could say more about his other articles but I have to get back to work.
Thank you both for addressing his personal issues but maybe just put that in the description box if it comes up again. People need to get past that and spend more time on ideas.
The fact that you spend time defending Depp shows your cluelessness. I personally wouldn't willingly ask for a good boss that is good and charitable because that's in its interests. I am not blind to its depravity and manipulation because I am not in need to have to choose who get's my digital ascent on one side of a couple's entangled confusion, and because I am too god damn clueless to not see what I am rejecting when I make that cyclopic choice, what I am swallowing when I am made unhealthy rich at the hand of a lie.
please check out the next piece in the series. I apologized as in retrospect, I think you are right... Still I think the expenditures are absurd but I agree a celeb like Depp is like a corporation / brand.
I do agree with a lot of the other comments that I'm 30 minutes into the video and I haven't really heard any actual content yet
3 minutes into the "elevator pitch" I gave up... What elevator did he think he was in? The one from Willy Wonka's chocolate factory?
This really misses that fact that many baddies can exist in the same universe. And simultaneously.

I'm surprised by David's analysis of the Ukraine/Russia. I raised an eyebrow when he proclaimed 'Pro-Russia Propaganda'. Absolutely no regard for the complexity of the situation.
You don't think there hasn't been pro-russia propaganda? How naive can you be when we've known for years how much focus they've put into developing their Internet Research Agency. Their responses in relation to war crimes have been as outrageous as they have been shoddy.
So what are you saying. That there isn't pro russian propaganda? That there is but there's also pro something else propaganda therefore pro russian propaganda is ok? Whataboutism?
How about ignoring both "Pro-Russia propaganda" AND Russophobic CIA/State Department neocon propaganda (much more evil, dangerous and mendacious than the inept and ramshackle Russian kind) and delve deep and analyze wisely to get at the actual TRUTH? Like Mearsheimer does.
@@markcreemore4915 you're basically doing russian propaganda lite version.
@@juancsmix That is a ridiculous observation. It's too crude and preposterous to even qualify as McCarthyism, which at least had some level of truth behind it.
When you talk about politics, you begin to look outwards.
“Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakens” - Carl Jung
Many people know the theory - very few put it into practice, live it.
The task of the enlightened isn’t to fight the darkness, it is to bring more light into the world.
When we oppose something, we become a part of the problem, part of the system of scapegoats.
0:42:10 There's an anti-war, anti-imperialist left? Cool. That makes me all misty with nostalgia. Who are they planning to vote for in 2024? How about in the mid-terms?
I'm definitely supporting the republicans in the midterms. 2024 still up for grabs, but I think in many important ways the republican party is now more left than the democrats
Total madness that the world is sinking into!!!!!🙃🙏
“We’ll never be able to figure out if 9/11 was orchestrated…”
Erm
But actually Iraq wasn’t a blunder. It wasn’t a mistake. It was a crime sold on conscious UK and US lies. And you both forgot to mention what the west did to Libya.
Well said thank you
So obvious they’re both worried about being completely truthful and the YT big brother cancel hammer.
i have never listen to much rubish and i uasly watch your channel
Minor point: Pinchbeck thinks climate change gives Russia an advantage because all that frozen Siberia will be warm. Not so at all! The chaos of melting permafrost will be a very unfriendly environment.
Minor point, we’re entering a mini ice age like the Maunder Minimum in the Middle Ages. The future is cold. That’s why each year is getting colder or do you not go outside?
One issue is that there is no global warming. It's a problem that was created so the globalist governments can solve it. The UN want a global carbon tax. Also the ability to say you can or canot do this because planet. It's their excuse for one world government. Look at our taxes, it used to be 3 percent or lower. Right now we are still being taxed without representation. It's just done in a decieving way so we think we have representation. It's just about power. Like always, us normal folks are slaves to tyants. They think they can group up together so we can't finger them.
@@Aquaticphilosophia GSM moving in ?
Well..This is a mess...
You know , you know , like you know and some more you knou like you nnow - after spiritual awakening - first thing to do - learn to speak like spiritual educated person.Hard to listen.
Should be titled "The Case Against Psychedelics"
Psychedelics at their best can be a fresh snowfall on an over-skied slope, but the answers, aside from embracing nothingness, are not there. Nor are they in this episode.:)
YIKES!
It's sort of hilarious that David has respect for Pinchbeck, but throws shade on Dark Horse, Lindsay, Peterson, et al. He seems to embrace people with no facts or viable theories as long as those sources are verifiably left- wing. This channel is definitely NOT about "sense-making", despite its claims to the contrary.
To be discussed
He's trying to play with this balance. I believe it to be a strategy to avoid audience capture. David walks it like he talks it. If he frustrates you, believe me, it's a sign of a channel worth its salt. I agree with your first point.
@@vangoghsear8657 if it's really about avoiding "audience capture", then, by all means, bring on knowledgeable and persuasive people with ideas that challenge the audience. Instead, we are harangued by partisans who speak in vague generalities and avoid actual arguments.
Perhaps "audience capture" is a good thing if your audience happens to be well-informed thinkers who want meaty arguments. David is simply not as well-read as his audience. He should stick to spirituality topics instead of delving into world affairs and science.
@@gdonegan03237 That's a good comment. But I'm still holding on for now!
Does anyone notice how DP rarely actually says what he thinks , but couches it all in qualifications, references to others’ ideas and practices, caveats and more questions? This interview is pretty much a dance of questioning without commitment
hmm i dont know if i agree! often when someone asks me my opinion on a subject i will tell them my thoughts and where they came from. ie. he talks about his less secular position on reality and then points to Steiner as one who built a map that outlines it better than anyone else he has read.
If you're taking heat for discussing conspiracies, you're obviously well over the target, so they hold true. If they were false, you would take no heat, it's as simple as that.
Glad I checked the comments before I watched more than 5 min.
Unsubscribed
This is such an uniformed and utterly ignorant ‘discussion’ of the historical forces in the Ukraine/Russia dynamic, it’s hard to know where to start…. Perhaps understanding that Zelensky did not ‘step-up’, as stated, but rather was chosen by the US. That might be a good place to start…
Yes. This video was why I Unsubscribed from this channel. Pathetically mainstream and ignorant. Makes you have to bring into question many of the other insights this man has.
You forgot to mention he was voted in by a 70% majority of Ukrainians in the 2019 elections. But why let inconvenient facts get in the way of your fancy conspiracy theory. Why care what Ukrainians think? They should just submit to Putin, right?
Are you saying zelensky wasnt democratically elected?
Zelensky was ‘democratically’ elected in the same way that the events in Ukraine in 2014 were said to be the manifestation of a glorious uprising of national sentiment….
@@jaybee557 he was and it was, if you think you can succesfully make any such action without a significant aproval of the populace in a moderately civilized country you are naive.
It all comes down to this: what did the russians had to offer in terms of a civilizational project? Cheap oil and a steady decline of sovereignty.
The west at least values some freedom and in can provide as much if not more business then the russians
Also if you think russians werent placing their own politicians and pawns inside ukraine think again man.
Steiner gets badly overlooked. His Philosophy of Freedom is an eye opener. How much freedom do we really have? Steiner says very little, except in our own thoughts.
The cadence of this guest during the first 12 minutes (all I could handle at one sitting) is quite disconcerting. As though all his complex conclusions can be summed up in an almost dismissive manner, that these concepts he has figured out should be self-evident to all us schmucks out here trying to discern what exactly he is trying to articulate.
On the subject of Daniel's personal past, may I say this: If he didn't have a public persona we would be none-the wiser of his past actions and he would not have been publicly accused. Being a public figure, it automatically raises the stakes in moral self-observance purely because the general public is an audience, while at the same time it increases the opportunity to explore multi-relationships, because there are many people who are attracted to someone's public position. It is entirely his decision to reflect, and regret/not care/learn/be amused/evolve/repeat/mature-or-not from his experiences.
It is not the interviewer's right/duty/position to judge, publicly. He can raise the subject for discussion, with a prior agreement from the interviewee, from an objective perspective, which may be of general interest.
Female emancipation happened to come over the evolutionary horizon before male's emancipation. We are all very much still in the thick of this development and far from being socially/sexually/morally/personally emancipated, because it is a process of global and social and spiritual transformation.
I came here just to comment on this point. His past has been covered on other publicly accessible platforms. It was a waste of everyone's time to dwell on and rehash old news when DP has clearly made an attempt to atone and move on. I came here to listen to his interesting takes on topical issues, not David's take on why he feels the need to rehash old news.
You know, you know……you know……., you know.
Very awkward interview. Were you interested in Daniel's perspective or your own.
I’ve been following this channel since the Glitch in the Matrix and I’ve gotten a lot from it over the years for which I’m grateful, but lately the quality of the discussions have dropped significantly.
I noticed something changed since the fallout with Bret Weinstein but I can’t put my finger on what changed exactly.
I guess I always enjoyed a level of neutrality and openness towards all topics and views, however David seems to be taking sides more often than I would like.
Yes, He is voicing conclusions for example about 9/11 about conspiracy theories generally and about Putin and Ukraine.
I don’t think either of these men have conducted free inquiry of sufficient reach honesty and Depth on such topics to have their conversation be anything but disappointing to me, certainly not as advertised for what the podcast claims to be about.

Fear? Lack of honesty with oneself? Clinging to self protective narratives?
I couldn't agree with you more.
@@yinoveryang4246 things have gotten worse. Covid proved this, all davids warnings were false
@John the ivermectin stuff was the main thing, Dr Malone the MNRA guy was the other aspect.
Funny that it's still called "Rebel" wisdom while towing the mainstream perspective....
He divided the world into two camps, and now spends a lot of time going heterodox thinking because it's "popular" instead of investigating WHY people aren't falling for the propaganda any longer.
He also talks about "the left" as if it's a single political point of view, and not a diverse set of beliefs that are as wide ranging as can be... even the right isn't a single belief system about what should be conserved and treated as traditional.
Having wisdom to differentiate is what this channel used to be about... hardly now so
David, as someone who really looks forward to the content RW puts out, may I make a suggestion?
I don't really want to listen to a guest rehash indiscretions from the past that have been adequately covered in other locations. Check Jamie Wheal's interview of Andrew Cohen to see how it could be done far better. It was enough for him to simply refer to AC's past fall from grace with a quick overview and a reference to an article that covered the details, and then move on quickly to the present which is far more interesting. I suspect your time with DP could have been more productive if you had taken this approach.
Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia had not engaged in territorial expansion, by invading its neighbors. It has only been as the US and NATO have attempted to overthrow the governments of its neighbors (successfully in Ukraine) that Russia has taken military action.
Interesting topics, but a disappointing, not particularly enlightening, conversation.
So you are blaming Russias invasion of Ukraine on NATO and the US? I call BS on that. This is Putins decision and what he decided was both unnecessary and counterproductive. Neither NATO nor the US have any interest in invading one square inch of Russian land. Russia on the other hand is quite happy to violate Ukrainian sovereignty.
Thank you- no one seems to talk about 2014. (Not to mention what the US has done/is doing in Middle East and elsewhere). Just fight the proxy war against russia til the last Ukrainian… military industrial complex dancing gleefully that the US is embracing this war. Of course many who offer dissent are censored….
@@dellwright1407 You call BS? I suspect you know little about the history that led up to the current state of the conflict. You see, unlike what we are told, the Cold War never ended. All along, the plan was to break apart the Soviet Union and then to break apart Russia and even some of Russia’s former satellites such as Yugoslavia. We know this, in part, because of the many broken promises and treaties given by the leaders of NATO member states. For example, the following is one of the more egregious. Should you be interested in knowing more, there are many other factors that I will be happy to explain.

Ukrainian people prefered the west to being a russian vassal, did nato (us) help? Sure. You guys people seem to not take under consideration that people can actually rather be under the "democratic" hegemony of us than totalitarian russia
Thank you David. Thank you Daniel.
I’ve read a lot of wild stuff but nothing prepared me for Stieners lectures and books.
which ones specifically? I find them hard to understand
This guy's analysis of Ukraine was laughable.
Can't wait for your interview.
@@endlessnameless7004 and yours!!
Couldn’t agree more, very poor analysis and I expected a lot more. So many points were way off. There’s always a sense of superiority when I listen to these interviews but sometimes I hear some good points. Today was not one of them
Pinchbeck! I first found him because of his Breaking book. Met him briefly at a talk. So excited to watch this. Thank you.
... Regarding relationships, it is love that heals.... agency and communion is good.
... All the wisest people of all times have said two things... simplify, and look to Nature.
... you two fellows are thrashing about among the trees, and seem to be unaware there is a forest out there....
How was the author he mentions? Lauren Ipkis?
if we believe that science points us towards an objective reality that ultimatelly we dont perceive "as it is" i would argue that to make sense of the World we will at some point need to dive in some esotéric propositions as a way of developing useful frameworks of operating in the World.
Yea definitely a bad interview the question were not good nothing learned in this
Discussing this man's sexual indiscretions in a podcast advertised to be about "conspiracy, Russia and Ukraine" felt a bit clunky and cringey. You're better than this, David.

I've come to accept that in order for me to enjoy some great content on the channel, I have to understand that there are going to be pieces on here which don't really interest me. Someone claiming to be able to commune with a Mesoamerican deity would be in the 'not for me' category.
However, I was aware of media claims of Mr Pinchbeck's behaviour a few years ago. I read a little about it and then read his lengthy Facebook post. That post was, in my opinion, as awful as his contrition here. David believes that Pinchbeck is genuinely remorseful, and David will have had interactions with him, and I haven't, but it certainly looked awkward to me. And the attempt to link trauma to future behaviour...
You were right to bring this issue up, David. If you hadn't, people would have searched this person's name, noticed the allegations and wondered why he hadn't been challenged.
The topic and personality of this piece is not for me, but you're still doing excellent work.
Agreed. I think you should always be careful bringing up someones past misdeeds, but 1 thing that I notice is that the "meta-modern" space is overwhelmed with these situations that go ignored. There's a 4 way speaker Parallax channel vid where 1 of the 4 had many allegations of abuse that caused him to flee the country and another of the 4 that was dating a sex-centered cult leader with a long list of the same. Never called out. I'm all for forgiveness and people changing, but if you're claiming to be a teacher, you have a history of abusing that role, and you're not offering a teaching that shows you condemn the former behavior I have to question your intent and ability.
Would love to see Daniel tackle 911. I doubt he would do that. There is 20 years of research on this topic and mounds of books by PHD's of this and that. Lots of work by journalists. He would probably make a fool of himself. Would be much better for him to interview those that have done the work long ago.
Check out Daniel's writing... He is a writer! His thoughts and analysis of the world in these times is acutely more honest and direct than just about any other journalist in these times. The complete lack of interest of our current "mainstream" culture in the realm of metaphysics and shamanism is bizarre to me. Daniel is a champion for bridging the massive chasm of a gap between contemporary societies and our ancestral legacy and future as deep ecology based animist societies. It's a shame this fool chose to focus his interview on placing emphasis and judgement toward the negative attacks on Daniel because of his private sexual life. Seriously missed opportunity to explore the real underbelly of what's happening in our world today in regards to the gender politics chaos being used to conquer and divide us when we should be uniting together to dismantle and destroy the transhumanist corporate fascist agenda.
Exactly!
GREAT!
Victoria Nuland thanks you. Chrystia Freeland thanks you. Michael Chomiak would be proud. Slava the military industrial complex !
LOVE his work!
Mearsheimer‘s argument says that the US is misplacing its super power focus. We are fixed on Europe and Putin when the US should be focused on China, the emerging Hegamon and avoiding the Thucydides trap.
His idea of respecting spheres of influence are a little sketchy to me, but I don’t think that Mearsheimer is supportive in any way of Putin’s expansionism.
He calls himself an “offensive” Realist.
I hooked in when Daniel Pinchbeck said, that he has the shamanic / psychic point of view about conspiracy theories. That's also mine. Our group now has over 10 years experience working with shamanic procedures on it. Similar to remote viewing techniques...
You always encounter your own shadow working on the bigger picture, also while creating an Utopia.
You came here for self promotion
At least they stopped looking at UA-cam comments so David will stay in his delusions. Can't wait to see how far from reality he goes.
You’re just angry because you don’t know how to get Women
they both just retranslate official media views on russian-ukranian situation without any own thought , leave alone announced 'conspiracy'
I have kept this podcast on my list because I am open to views other than mine and I like to hear people's arguments. Here lately I have gotten more and more annoyed with the lack of sound research and perspective from host and guests. Sorry I just unsubscribed.
Likewise, try to keep an ear to different opinions but this stuff is just jingoistic nonsense...
There is no way that sense can be made of this world until you first make sense of yourself. This is true enough in our ordinary, material existence, but it is doubly true in all matters occult. If you don’t know yourself inside out and back to front then occultism brings only ruination.
Thanks for covering the Ukraine/Russia issue here. It's been painful to watch opinions in these circles that are so desperate to be anti-mainstream that they do sound a bit like delivery tools for Kremlin's active measures. Example: "we are crazy, you better not provoke us" has been happening since the 60x, if not earlier.
I think the mainstream is so egregious, it's almost a real journalists responsibility to be desperately anti-mainstream. The mainstream "information" on conflict outside the US is criminal.
There are rational, sensible arguments against sending billions in weapons to a failed state at war with a nuclear power.
@@peterhardie4151 I guess the question is what kind of future we want. Would the world be a better place without Ukraine, where "might makes right" behavior is encouraged by little or no negative consequences?
@@SubvertTheState the Ukraine issue is one of those rare cases where the mainstream (eventually) started making perfect sense.
@@gluzdov i don't believe it does. Throwing weapons into a country fighting a war it can't win against a nuclear power makes little sense. There have maybe lost 40,000 soldiers, 100,000 civilians and 10 million made refugees. Diplomacy was the way out of this one. Only the US, UK and Zelensky wanted war.
Daniel's a mixed bag, but I'll give this a listen later.
These guys no less about what is going in Ukraine then me
A wow! Podcast.
Well I dropped out at 'crop circles'. I have no interest in what anyone who investigated crop circles has to say about Russia/Ukraine.
Why? What topics previously investigated by someone qualify a them to be worthy of listening about Russia-Ukraine?
Completely irrational discrimination heuristic
This is a deeply confusing and conflicted comment. You seem to be positioning yourself as intellectually above others, and yet the argument you use to do so demonstrates a very weak intellect. That's really weird. Why on earth would someone investigating crop circles make them unqualified to talk about Russia / Ukraine? What is the connection?
One of your best, David, thank you for this fantastic discussion.
It seems like Daniel hasn’t watched the sense-making series
Half way through now and nothing interesting has been said, yet I suspect this guy may have some insight. Poor show.
I thought this guy ended in 2012. Do you get to keep your relevance after a 2012 book like his?
Did you read the book? What is your assumption about what it is about?
It's not about the end of the world.
@@Captain_MonsterFart it still sucked in the long view, especially in contrast to his actual character
Conspiracy "a secret plan by a group to do something" and people do conspire................................................................. Controlled opposition will embrace or ridicule as and when required, so enjoy the show.
Unbelievable naivety here. Waste of time.
Seriously? He hopes our top heavy military budget is producing efficient weaponry with a chuckle and then claims to be a pacifist…Robert’s late blooming hawk statement definitely closer to truth. Maybe a little introspection is in order.
I was extremely disappointed by this interview and will unsubscribe. Very oversimplified thinking with cognitive distortions supported. Superficial wide brushes of Putin and Russia went unchallenged, for example. I'm not a Putin supporter, but I also don't want to support warmongering which is what demonizing of the enemy actually is. Real world peace involves diplomacy and understanding.
Have you seen the pictures of Russian military war crimes? Tortured civilians, killed women, raped girls and boys? Did you hear Lavrov's antisemitic mumbling? I am not talking about severe dictatorial regime inside Russia that openly kills and jails everyone it doesn't like.
How diplomatic and understanding do you want to be with new Hitler? Some people tried to be diplomatic with Third Reich, hope you remember what happened.
@@cassandra6429 There are so many assumed conclusions in your comment it's crazy. Horrible pictures (if real) means something happened, but doesn't mean Putin commanded it. It may not even mean Russian troops did it. In news Russia is presumed guilty immediately. That doesn't mean I'm in denial - they may be guilty. Putin may be a clinical psychopath, but likely not. His popularity in Russia is real if you look at polls.
Good interviews make you think more instead of not think and jump to conclusions. Being outraged shouldn't mean you stop thinking and questioning.
@@matthewspears3786 Mathew, honestly I did not watch the program, I was reacting to your suggestion to be more understanding and more diplomatic.
I live in US for God knows how long, but I was born and spent my first 20 years in Kiev, Ukraine. My mom has Russian roots, my dad is Ukrainian. Both of them along with their families were born and lived during the USSR regime. There were many Russians sent to the capitals of the Republics, so we all spoke Russian, some never even hear Ukrainian language in their life while living in Ukraine.
I still have friends and relatives there, mostly in Ukraine, but in Russia too.
Ukraine is an independent country now, it has it's own problems, but it does not want to be the vassal to Russian Empire.
Up until 2006 --- 2007 Russia also wanted to be some kind of democracy, People lived, traveled and no one cared about NATO, lost respect, Russia's special identity, etc.
I will not start telling you that Putin did not really leave in 2008 when Medvedev officially was a president, then he returned and stayed since then till now. Something happened in his and, maybe, his closest friends mind. No more democracy, no freedom of press, no independent business.
The worst thing was the propaganda. Russia is a big country without roads. The independent thinking part of people always lived in Moscow, St Petersburg, and couple of other big cities. The rest were watching TV and lived like they were still living in the USSR.
First everyone laughed at this propaganda shows on all the channels. "Who would believe them", we thought, "all you need to do is to open the Internet and check". But you know what, people did not check. They liked those lies. Apparently, it is nice to think that your life is not what you expected it to be, when you can blame US, Europe, entire world (but not your own government), it is also nice to hear how powerful The Mother Russia is, when you, personally have no power at all. And hate, they love to hate. It didn't happen in 1 year, or 2, maybe 10 or so. Meanwhile the country went from pseudo democracy to autocracy and now it is clinical dictatorial regime.
Putin knew about everything his army was and is doing in Ukraine. POW from Ukraine, along with male civilians are put in the jails, that were emptied for them and I can not comment on what is done to them there.
All my friends from Russia needed to run to other countries, some only because they were against the war, some, because they brought the flowers to Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow and were arrested. And yes, the majority of people are with Putin, weren't Germans with Hitler?
My brother is on active duty now, somewhere in Eastern Ukraine, my younger sister is in Kiev, that is bombed regularly, but she doesn't pay attention to sirens anymore. Her husband is an officer, he is not military, but speaks 5 languages and worked for US in Afghanistan. Obviously he is somewhere, but not with her, and couple of weeks ago she asked me "just in case', how to shoot herself in the mouth to die for sure and not stay a cripple if Russians will take Kiev and will start go door to door. I could not breathe.
You are saying, you are not in denial. Those people were maimed, raped, killed, I saw documentary on every little town, they will never show it in US --- too graphic. Western law professionals from different countries are working there now. So if not Russian Army, are you saying that Ukrainians did it to their neighbors, their countrymen?
My life was put on hold with this war, I watch everyone. Ukrainians have their own propaganda, mostly they lie about the number of planes, copters and tanks they destroyed. But if you want to know the truth about Russian society today, reread 1984. or watch Hitler's and Goebbels speeches.
@@matthewspears3786 Here is a program one of the thousands journalists that had to run from Putin's regime. ua-cam.com/video/4kozarG_joY/v-deo.html
PS there are many more but they don't have subs
@@cassandra6429 In your narrative, you fail to mention that both the Russian and Ukrainian regimes are corrupt and authoritarian. Just as press freedom is lacking in Russia, so it is lacking in Ukraine. Zelensky has shut down all news agencies that oppose him. Just as political dissidents are repressed in Russia, so too are they repressed in Ukraine.
Long before the war, Zelensky arrested his main political opponents.
The people of Ukraine are not united in their desire to affiliate with the West. A significant number of the citizens of Ukraine, particularly those who live in the south and the east, speak Russian, belong to the Russian Orthodox Church, consume Russian popular media, observe Russian cultural traditions, affiliate with Russia and have family members who live in Russia.
It is has been political demagogues who have exacerbated the differences and conflicts between ethnic Russian Ukrainians and the rest of the Ukrainian population. It has been the strategy of NATO (chiefly the US) to support the demagogues and to encourage the divisions that have led to the conflict we are now witnessing.
This war was long in the making. It formally began when the CIA and US State Department supported the rightwing coup d’état which removed the democratically elected Russian-affiliated President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych.
Unless we understand the history that led to the current situation, we may come to the wrong conclusions about its causes.
There is an important fact, about the war in Ukraine, that is being intentionally ignored by those who wish to avoid blame themselves and want to shift all of the blame onto Russia. The people of Ukraine are not united in their desire to affiliate with the West.

Let us all pray that the more sane and humane people on both sides of the conflict are able to negotiate a ceasefire and a peace settlement, before many more people suffer and die. I wish you and your family well.
If you fast forward through everything the interviewer says, then you skip all the propaganda. This isn’t an interview, this is a setup.
lol, conspiracy theories make more sense than this conversation at least!
Or you could do some actual research to know for yourself instead of hanging with the safe crowd. It will all come out too you get to know now or find out later.
You really lost me within the first 30-35 mins and then finished off with the Ukraine topic. Very poorly prepared interview, not sure if the speaker does actuslly have something to say, but the interviewer just ruined this
Yeah, the first 30 minutes were, hmm, repetitive and felt like something an editor would normally cut. Or maybe it's because I am just not that much into sexual misconduct stuff.
He is speaking a word salad and not saying much of anything.
David, I know you’re concerned about not being captured by your audience but I feel that this concern is pushing you too far from what made us your audience in the first place.
Like what? Please be specific.
@@martinzarathustra8604 well, until not long ago the underlying theme was more “we can’t be certain about complex topics so let’s try to make sense of them together” as opposed to “these people and ideas are good and these others are bad”.
This includes biased discussions with many assumptions on topics like Covid, vaccination, climate change, conspiracy theories, Russia-Ukraine conflict, etc.
@@pedrogorilla483 I did not get any of this "bad" vs "good" people argument you are hearing. Can you give an example? You sound pretty defensive, almost like you have some political golden calves that you don't like being questioned about.
Is any opinion that goes against your political belief biased?
@@martinzarathustra8604 I have no interest in defending anything, I’m just voicing my opinion/experience.
@@pedrogorilla483 nicely ‘commented’ Pedro. Martin was just picking a fight for lack of anything else to do ......
With all due respect David you are straight up wrong about the U.S. government. You are not a U.S. citizen, I am. This war could have been easily avoided if the U.S. had treated Russia like a partner. You are way off base about this very important issue.
Completely agree
Why would a random US citizen have a more realistic view on Russia? Your argument doesn't make any sense.
However many mistakes the US makes wrt psychological issues (and there have been plenty over the decades), Russia still has agency. Ukraine has agency.
It is a complete fallacy to believe that the US could have prevented Russia's designs on its neighbours, and certainly not by showing more deference to Russia. (In the Ukraine case we could theorise that establishing a huge joint naval base in the Black Sea together with Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria sometime between 08 and 14 might have had a deterring effect. But no-one was willing to spend any money on that kind of thing, not when the possibility that Russia would act as a normal country still existed, though after 2014 we should all have understood it to be a unrealistically optimistic.)
From a European perspective the US seemed very absent in the run up to the invasion (except for publishing intelligence). And even the first weeks of the war you just got the "aw, I can't even..." reaction whenever US politicians turned up on the news.
What's all this beating around the bush? Is this man supposed to apologise for having a girlfriend he worked with, then have a conversation about how ridiculous culture is getting for cancelling people who date people they work with? Quit the babbling guys! What happened, is it right or wrong, tell us! SN
There is no difference between the US/West ocupation of the Middle East, South East Asia (Vietnam War) and Russia's policy in the Ukraine (formerly Soviet Union Ukraine), both are Hegemonic Military Ocupations for purely geopolitcal natural resource (oil) reasons.
The exposure and accountability of narcissist behaviour at different relationship levels (whether it be Depp v Heard or Putin v Nato/West) appears to be directly linked to an increase in conscious awakening. One might even go as far as to say that narcissism, as a thing, is an important aspect of the human experience in that without exposure to the inhumaneness of narcissist irrationality - humanity's increased sense of self and discernment would be far slower to evolve at the individual and collective level.
Not Great .
The Pope said NATO is to blame for the situation in Ukraine..
It looks like avoiding any discussions about funding proxy war groups around the world you can just call the other person a conspiracy theorist... Lazy thinking.
Untrue... the Pope has NOT blamed NATO for Ukraine. The Vatican has (controversially) avoided criticising Russia directly in the hope that some kind of mediated solution might be reached. Though the Pope has called the Russian bombing of Mariupol (Mary's city) 'barbarous'.
@@dellwright1407
“In Ukraine, it seems that it was others who created the conflict. I am pessimistic but we must do everything possible to stop the war.”
@@monkeytrousers6180 Said whilst the Pope was appealing to the Kremlin for discussions with Putin. The Popes agenda is for peace - Putin ignored him because Putins agenda is clearly not for peace. The fact that you use the Popes words as a justification for war and bombing innocent civilians in a sovereign country shows how warped the propaganda is.
Daniel’s face went off a cliff.
Damn the Russian bots are going hard in this comment section
Thanks Daniel and David!
Known as Victory Day in Russia, May 9 is a national holiday commemorating the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. In yesterday's address, he thanked the allied forces of the time. However, Putin is now hammering the final nail deep into the Ukrainian coffin of National Socialists or Stepan Banderas’ disciples, (Azov Battalion), from his borders.
This channel is desperate, shooting in all directions. At some point I had to drop.
Translate this behaviour to a non digital place... 😅😂🤣
'this school is desperate, shooting in all directions, i am announcing to all people here that i am gonna drop this school from my list of places i could go to'
@@ikik3406 This is somewhat fair, I overly reacted in the moment with indignation. I did enjoy and learn from other published videos. However, the school, as per your analogy, is not only exposing me to heterogeneity of thought, but attempting to tell me "this is the correct one". I find that a break from the "principles of the school" and can only attribute this to the creeping of personal bias of the creator. More specifically, I found the guest and his opinions on geopolitics wholly amateurish and bad use of time, and through this the bias came across. Thanks!
"you know" count acc to transcript: 398. hehehe
Putin is steeped in murder ?! And you in the West aren't? I am not going to remind you of 'Sir' Tony Blair. .. you are rational? You have been trying to avoid the question: "can you tell me what a woman is?" for the past 5 years. I was wondering about David's disappearance from the scene. Now I know - he was swollen up by me too . Bummer! All that Ayahuasca and still all he wanted was to roll around with young girls like some much less talented Woody Allen.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the interview fellas
Nice to see you both sharing ideas.
I very much value both of your measured and brave perspectives on various topics.
Look forward to the next chat between David and Daniel.
Be well
Take one or two conspiracies apart, instead of always walking around the meat and potatoes of the topic.
Also, sorry to say, but the acknowledgement of the guests past came of as really weak. I think we would all be welcoming if he actually said what happened, what compelling force urged him to do it, why he gave in, and what he learned from it. No more that 5 minutes needed. Again, avoiding the meat and potatoes of the issue at hand.
There is a difference between religiosity and region. The worlds religions have most often. partnered with a ruling class and or governments to control populations. Secularism, allows people more personal freedom when it comes to their beliefs and it allows for more diversity. It does not mean, that individuals are necessarily less religious. Conforming under one religion does not increase the happiness of a society, does not increase the health and happiness of indifiduals it increases predictability and control over.
Not all scientists are atheists or agnostics either. Not all scientists or clergy possess wisdom. The desire to maintain control and to use a variety of methods to do so is not about the meains, its about the goals behind them. The goal of the church is not to bring peole to god, it;s to bring people into conformity and under control. All sorts of methods are used to do this regardless of the interest or disinterest in technology.
The perfect Anarchist is someone who knows that with freedom comes responsibility and you must use critical thinking and empathy to be an ideal Anarchist who does not use might is right.
Anarchy in it's ideal form cannot work as a collective ideology. Some people do need controls to be prevented from being dangerous and or a nuance to society. I believe a secular democratic state is the only fair way to arrive at universal principles and practices to this end. Rates of suicide and root causes are an excellent Canary in the gold mine foe spotting things if you look at them without bias. Oh mens suicides have gone up...well what were womens rates of suicide and self harm? What demographics are most vulnerable to suicide? Extreme strict religious societies do have a high rate of female suicide, self harm and domestic abuse and even murder of female souses. NO thanks. Not interested.
Don't do lol
When the trolls are out, you know it’s good.
Well put
This guy seems to be making excuses. The emancipation of Eros has been shut down because so many of the dudes claiming it used it as a cover to abuse. They are all about “yang” [penetrative] sexuality being unchecked and permitted to abuse “yin” (receptive)sexuality. These guys claimed they were so “free” and enlightened, but they just used the alternative spirituality scene as an alternative method to abuse others. It defo shows psychedelics is no short cut to “so called enlightenment”. They created the ground for “metoo” and have only made people more sceptical of the very valid and wonderful “Eros” spiritual tradition. I’m glad you asked him about it as it indeed conveys something essential about the alternative scene - i.e. it’s essential to do your shadow work and arseholes will always use whatever they can to abuse others.
yes, I encountered quite a few creeps like him when I was young and naïve
generalizations, assumptions, judgements without substance... Your patriarchy cloaked as feminism reads as the wolf in sheep's clothing that it is...
This was not one of your finest episodes David.
DP did all kinds of audio stuff twenty years ago, telling everyone to take psychedelic drugs and that money would be worth less in five years, that was night on twenty years ago :-) Not to discount everything, though advocating everyone take drugs to solve their problems, is a slippery slope and thinking you get special messages all the time from them, is also a road to nothing or delusional thinking. :-) -RW, I think a lot of people would agree. Promoting this stuff is just another cul de sac.
Yeah, wouldn't it be great if the techno-billionaires could do something about the homelessness in California. For all their future thinking and concern for the future of humanity, perhaps they should heed the age old adage that charity starts at home.
Apart from that, Pinchbeck is fairly clueless on the bigger picture of global politics. He lists the past transgressions of the US but completely misses the context to the build up. Pinchbeck can't be taken seriously. He has absolutely nothing useful to say about the Ukraine-Russia conflict unless you consider regurgitating the mainstream media mash-up is a valid contribution. And he's certainly not informed on the wider context in both economic and historical terms. There was a strong smell of BS when asked about this topic.
Nearly stopped listening at this point but slogged on regardless. Very disappointed after the Mary Harrington-Paul Kingsnorth conversation about the War On Reality... looks very much like that very same war is being waged in this discussion as well. If you want to talk about it further, then leave a comment.
David, why on earth would you not host this guy if he "had not reflected on his bad behaviour" with women? What the hell does this have to do with his ideas? Or is it that you don't have the balls to risk being cancelled for "platforming the cancelled". Perhaps you're sometimes more of the problem than you realise - for all your "balanced sense making". I thought we came to this channel to leave this sort of primary school "I have educated myself and will do better" crap behind.
The world is not America. RUSSIA has 13 time zones. Africa is a continent not a country
Fuller, who "kinda" follows "these things to a fairly keen degree" (45:30), projectile vomits US/NATO propaganda script on Ukraine while Pinchbeck mumbles "yeah, it's like, y'know, y'know..."
