thanks, henry.
theneedledrop hey melon
teen idles? really melon?
Woah. Fuckin melon shit right here
love you melon
Why are you everywhere dude seriously
Well said, Henry. The problem is that there is no accountability. Do folks really believe that these public servants really consider themselves as such? They don't. They believe that they are above everyone, and there are laws to attest to that.
The subtitles were wrong at times. When Henry said, "I think CNN was complicit.", the subtitles said, "I think CNN was complacent." Big difference in meaning.
speaking from 11 years afterwards, one should throw in the leaders of Meta, Reddit, Twitter, Tiktok, and Alphabet. There's tons of damning evidence that the giant tech companies, especially ones that have their hands on social media, have not only avoided doing anything about some truly harrowing disinformation/misinformation but have intentionally done whatever they could to amplify it and spread it around. all in the name of making filthy amounts of money. they've overthrown elections, spread literal genocide (look up Myanmar sometime, it's a great read), caused January 6th to happen, the list goes on. and they're even more wildly effective at it than CNN or Fox News ever wishes they could be.
"Colin powell owes me an apology because he lied to my face. He looked right into the camera and lied" YES! Now whether he knew he was lying, or if he was "mis-informed" does not change the fact that he lied to every single American, and everyone else around the world that bothered to listen to him. He owes all of us an apology, but he is far from the only one, especially from the administration he served. Thank you, Mr. Rollins!!!
Easily one of the most inspirational people I've ever heard speak.
Never have enough of these featuring Henry, Keep it up!
Rollins should continue doing these little Q&A videos... i would be interested to see his view on certain topics such as these. Hes well spoken, articulate and most of all inspiring ... keep up the good work bigthink/ Henry Rollins
"I can see you, but you can also see me"
I just immediately thought about that song from In My Head
How can any logical person disagree with any of this?....Thank you Henry
I know this is a super old video but I followed you on twitter because of this one.
Because they are really good at pointing out easier targets for us to focus on elsewhere...and because 'they are helping us' we don't look too closely at them...
There's not enough words to describe how much I respect Henry and his outlook on things.
I wish there would be more people using inteligent sense and standing up for it like Henry.
I agree I think what he meant was you don't need to flick through a million books to find out something in particular, going through every word until you come upon the ones that seem to fit your question. You can specifically type into google (or something of the like) what you want for example and it will come up for you in an instant.
don't need to be smart to make a difference. You just need passion and sense
Transparency can be found in Volume 1 United States Code inclusive of Titles 1-4/Title 5 sections 101-5949 pay attent to all the dates and language in Titles 1-4 this is the Organic laws.
"Think for yourselves, question authority" Timothy Leary
Out of everyone on Big Think Henry Rollins and Penn Jillette are my favorite
I liked that you commented on his library comment - don't let a carelessly made incorrect comment, even a tiny one, slide. Rollins should know better than to diss libraries, and I think he'd agree and correct himself; libraries are still important.
there's something about Mr.Rollins, Jobs had it too, natural leaders. It's a pity Mr.Rollins can't be put in a position where he can make mass change, and I respect that he does what he can with what he has at his disposal.
What you have to remember is the news has no obligation to report the news. The news is a form of entertainment just like anything else put there so you will watch the commercials. That is how both TV and .com sites work. .com stands for commercial!
Same here. I think it's because their professions and experiences have empowered them with the speaking skills and charisma needed to catch a viewer, and thinker's, attention. They can share their views and opinions and thoughts all while making the videos interesting to watch. They can morph their videos into a show of thoughts instead of a basic lecture.
Much Love Mr. Rollins, everything said is pretty much how I have felt already, but its still nice to know that I'm not the only one.
I found it odd for Henry Rollins to be on Big Think, but he's been very well spoken and lucid.
“If some fanatic bishop, king or priest somehow justified death for their greedy desires to gain fortune or godhood or whatever they wanted, then it's their problems.”
Actually, it’s the problem of the people who die as a result of it. The individual who gains fortune or godhood from interpreting a certain scripture a certain way is certainly not having a problem.
Brilliant. I knew about everything he spoke about. Rollins just has a great way of delivering it.
You should also see his shows when he comes to a major city near you. It's this stuff for 3 straight hours. I've had a little piece of intelligent and funny heaven the last 6 times he's been in town.
He's got a hell of a lot of good angles on a really varied amount of topics.
Always gives a powerful speech.
Thank you so much Mr. Rollin's. I loved listening to your words. This Night.
Well At least he has the Kahuna's to call a spade a spade!
Many thumbs up for Mr Rollins!
301/302 is the figure UA-cam allows a video to get to before it reconciles/synchronises its worldwide servers to ensure there are no bots getting views or anything overly infringing on copyright/decency :)
Usually only watch for Nye & Kaku but enjoyed this very much! Please more Mr Rollins :)
Go alone if you have to.
I have a few of his books as well but it's almost all "Spoken Word" stuff aside from his famous Get In The Van journal, which I haven't read. I would recommend his most recent books and working your way back. He's a lot more articulate now than he ever was even if Hank fans like his earliest stuff the most IMO. Make sure to buy something at his booth if you do see a live show. It's how the guy eats ;)
This worked well as a prologue for The Newsroom.
It's all about interpretation. Some interpret the best, others choose the worst parts just so they can validate their hate and scorn as being rightfully placed.
That's the most simplistic form of it, it's like telling a child not to eat sweets or worms are going to start growing inside. But it's also a protection mechanism for the people, telling all the people that don't want to understand God that they will suffer if they do bad things to others, if love can't save them, maybe fear will.
That's probably the exact thing about it dude. The Higgs-Boson was just discovered, so it's probably exceptionally hard for just a UA-cam channel like 'Bigthink' to get a hold of such an amazing and intelligent person.
Rollins is really good on these.
"traded truth for access". Yes. This is how the world works. You trade what you have for what you need. A profitable network would rarely commit suicide in order to tell people the "truth". And this doesn't make them "cowards" either. You would do this yourself if it benefited you more. Like you wouldn't just give a piece of your liver to someone unless you got something out of it. Same goes with charity. NO one just gives unconditionally. Everything we do is based on incentives.
This man has a lot of very relevant and sensible things to say.
Henry Rollins..you sir are amazing!!
As an American, I don't think patriotism is ridiculous. I do think too many have tried to co-opt the word to mean loyalty to a party, or loyalty to a man, when what it means, in my interpretation, is that I'm loyal to the country. It doesn't mean America, Love It or Leave It. It Means America, Love It, Fix It. It means there is an ideal of freedom and equality to strive for, no matter how many bigots and opportunists try to usurp the power structure for their own ends.
"on the twitter like all those crazy young kids are"
what a perfect human being
Well... that escalated quickly.
Some great points raised by Henry here
'Oh, you mean the one under the rule of a tyrannical dictator'
Yeah, that one. I dont dispute Saddamn being a tyrant. I do find questionable going after him, when we're going after the perps of 9/11, which his regime had nothing to do with.
'Just because no WMDs were found at the time, doesn't mean we weren't in the right for going there.'
When WMDs were the case presented for doing so, yeah it patently means we weren't in the right.
Who else can't get past the Chili's ad on this video after it freezes up at 4 seconds remaining?
He is amazing...
I believe he points Colin Powell out because he is a man of integrity and of higher morals and values than was seen throughout that administration - or for many administrations. Cheney-Rumsfeld did not do him any favors putting him in such a position and I remember thinking to myself 'what is he going to do? I couldn't see him falling in line' but I remember distinctly & thought it was his oath to country to back up the administration's claims on Iraq WMDs & Al Queda ties. His pain was evident
1:01 I can see you! You can see me! I can see you! You can see me! (x100000)
Such a down to earth guy, love it.
I am liking this guy. Lets keep this guy.
Its kind of hard when the 'other side' is as crazy as it is right now.
I really like this guy. In a few videos he's become my favourite guy on BigThink.
Love you ,Henry rollins..thanks
Just remember that this isn't a partisan issue. From Ron Reagan to the current President there are people out there doing horrible things for "the greater good". I don't care who becomes President they become disciples of Machiavelli eventually and it's freaking scary stuff. Iraq was a hard thing for me because I joined the Army as Country loving American but by the time I went to Iraq my perception changed to that of a humanity loving American. It was a really tough time.
Henry Rollins, keepin' it real.
I love youtube, it's the first the time little man actually has control... on what is broadcasted.. on a worldwide scale...this shit...is the beginning. and this video paints the perfect picture of the dawn of the end of corruption...if the people wake up, it's not about intelligence, it's about actions and intentions.
it is not so much that a despot was gotten rid of which is a good thing, the problem is that if america had not put him in power in the first place it would not have been an issue
this title shouldn't read online transparency, he spent most of his time addressing big media, not the internet
While libraries most certainly DO, I think the point he's trying to make is that we're kind of at the point where there are far more Wi-Fi Hotspots then there are libraries now.
Kudos Henry. Though I'd respectfully ask you to reconsider identifying yourself as a consumer. You might want to identify yourself as a citizen. Citizens have rights and responsibilities, consumers are a herd.
wow, thanks man. i needed to hear that i thought i was going crazy. thanks G
Common misconception on your part that news programs and stations don't have an obligation to attempt to find out as much as they can about everything.
After this video, he went and beat up the camera man. Oh Henry Rollins!
I used quotation marks around the words "for our freedom". Perhaps you didn't notice them, or didn't understand the implication.
it happens alot on the "higher profile" videos.
ok, I get your point now. I take it back, you're right.
took me a while to put things in context... but then I live really far away from the US. (what cheese sandwichs?)
well... he is not a coward indeed!
Henry Rollins for president!
WHERE IS MICHIO KAKU ???????????? He was the sole reason why i subscribed !
i see that now, you're right. and you were right too "go there".
the youtube comments section is becoming more predictable then i imagined possible back in '07
Henry Rollins you're a boss!!
AGREE....kinda.David Eagleman is great to watch
Common misconception is that news programs and stations know everything about everything.
Adblock Plus is available for both Chrome and Firefox. Yes, advertising supports the companies that provide us with content like this, but forcing advertising in the way that UA-cam does is disgusting. So use Adblock as a protest, but add exceptions for websites that aren't terribly annoying with ads.
No one on network TV can tell it like it is like he just did.
Michio Kaku is a scientific spokesman at best, regurgitating the hard work and research of others. However he is an educator, so you cannot begrudge him for him, like Neil Degrasse Tyson, and educating the masses (no pun) is worthwhile.
I will agree however that you are absolutely correct when you say nobody knows what it is. Scientists are trying to explain with analogies of drag, but are failing miserably at explaining the finer details, because they themselves, dont know yet.
Since when does legitimately 'taking the fight to them' include war with an unaffiliated country on false pretense?
"Presidents have very little authority"? Have you not heard of Presidential Veto? The manufacturer of a gun is unimportant; who uses a gun to murder is. The question is not personal (liking, or not). The question is: Can any president order the murder of any one, any where? Thomas Chalkley described you when he wrote: "There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who chose to ignore what they already know."
--R.T. Thomes (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Also the vocalist for Black Flag although I'm pretty sure you've never heard of them, kid.
Deep stuff in this video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you, you can post it on facebook if you like. If a discussion arises around it I'd be glad to join in if I can. I don't want to take too much credit, though. The train of thought i presented is inspired mainly by Richard Dawkins and Penn Jillette. Also comment space only allowed me to develop my thoughts so far.
The passage to which I'm referring: Deutoronomy 13:6 - 13:10.
Dawkins: watch?v=4aCRHjH6d4Q
Jillette watch?v=NGw_IY-5dsA (The end)
I have never thought of Henry Rollins as being old until he said 'I'm on the twitter"... that is such an old man way o f saying it...
911 was not an inside job people. Everything else he said, was pretty spot on.
That's not proof that people can't think for themselves, it's proof that they won't think for themselves. That can change with a better educational system.
great line to say as a precursor to speaking the truth
"and i'm not mr. conspiracy theory boy"
3:40
He doesn't pretend to be "smart", but having open eyes, common sense, and not being a sheep doesn't make you "smart".
henry rollins for president!!!
Man.... that video escalated quickly.
Hahahaha I like how as the video progressed he went into a tangent about hoist personal view about the media. However I respect this man and I share his views proudly
Military history has nothing to do with the fact that there has always been an element of humanitarianism built into the status quo.
ya youre right on that one
My thought exactly.
he is so smart love him
Kind of weirded out how Rollins got so incredibly side-tracked there. He was talking about the internet and suddenly shifted to demanding Bush and Cheney go on trial for war crimes? What? Clearly an issue he feels strongly about.
The entire compendium of human knowledge is accessible from any device with an internet connection. How much better of an education system does one need?
Bro, you're the one fighting. Dude.
Libraries offer a lot more indeed, but not as fast as a computer.
Rollins is a moral compass. I respect him. I simply ask in 100 years will Iraq be better for all the misinformation and carnage. I care about the future. Atrocities are commonplace in history. Many people have lied throughout history. Some of those lies end up being fortuitous. Time will tell. In 1950 congressional reports said Japan may never embrace the democracy we had imposed on them. Time is, as they say in the dicey parts of town, cray. Still, Henry, I love you.
OMG this guy hits the nail right on the head! Not too long ago I was pretty young naive and idealistic.. always going to be naive at least to some degree but towards the last half of the Bush administration I gave them so much benefit of the doubt, because he was my president and "we're the good guys".. so I would look the other way under the guise that whatever they were doing behind the curtains was for the greater good. It is utterly defeating to pull that curtain back & find petty corruption
