“Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles.” - Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
What’s his name the Canadian? I think Jordan Peterson. Canadian Medical board wants him not only to shut up but undergo reeducation. Open ended too. They are not clear what their goal is, length of time, or how they know that he’s “Healed”. The very insanity that want to decide, define, and punish “Hate Speech”. Who gives or receives that power. The resistance is growing to these tyrants but not fast enough
I’m a Canadian 🇨🇦 born in 1975, and during my life I’ve seen an almost unbelievable decline of general decency and morality in people. I try my hardest to be as polite, courteous and respectful to others as I can, even though a lot of people these days aren’t……
100% I’ve experienced similar in Australia since 1973. It baffles me how so many people seem to have seriously impaired empathy, extreme entitlement and no basic courtesy. It all seems to be tied to stupidity, cruelty and a brutish attitude to life and others. My childhood wasn’t like that at all. Blokes used to fix stuff properly on a handshake. Can’t even imagine that now.
@@cloudmountaindog8537 exactly mate, people have been enticed into so much narcissism and material things that the dumbing down of has made them feel like knowing what Kim Kardashian bought for herself on her last holiday or who picked the most teams in the footy tips is a great accomplishment, they'll sit and talk for hours about it and pat each other on the backs, and yet people I know have the cheek to say to me that I'm antisocial because I just want to go and get the things I need and get my ass home, and yet somehow it's my fault that I don't follow suit and sit with them talking absolute rot for hours, and these are people that are in their 40's and 50's that think they're smarter than other people for picking more teams in the NRL that week, it's sad mate 👍

This reminds me of a quote:"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." -Charles Bukowski

It is called "dumbing down" the people. They don't want smart intelligent people who think for themselves, they want people to do what they say without question.
I like that quote. I also like his other one in the same vein: "Don't wrestle with pigs. You both get filthy, and the pig likes it." I have a feeling that Twain had a lot of experience talking with stupid people.

It is quite easy to gauge a man's intellectual capacity which very few have: His abhorrence for slick PowerPoint slides as components of contemporary issues/discussion, his reliance on MSM for his belief system and biases, his mantra's based on the opinions of his dumbed down coterie for approval (co_id) and competing wisdom. An intellectual (very few < 1%)) has and utilizes more practically his knowledge of physics, philosophy I.e. Kant, his library which must contain at least 100 books including various Russian/Greek/Roman era authors and for Bull here on the topic of fixing cars, tractors or electronics or servicing his own house (preferably rural farm) the content in his garage which must contain multiple many more tools then his kitchen or say rec room + his ability to preserve some wealth for hard times (and have a garden) which are coming as witnessed in the provocations in every dimensions/sphere of human activity as in 2024.

I am 75. I see Internet references that are in conflict with my eyeballs have seen. I would trust bound paper books for reference before diving into the internet about many subjects. It would take a lot of effort to reproduce a bound copy of a book printed in 1953. Or any other year before the net was a public thing to view. Oh yes I have heard of the Mandela effect. BUT I am talking about being there, in person. There are experts at slight of hand and slighting reality for their own purposes. They have been around for millennia. It used to be that you find more than one source. Compare and deduce something approaching reality. But when all sources are exactly the same. It generally indicates tampering.
I’ve been saying this for years! Especially these days… people commit crimes and then get praised and called brave by the media then end up getting brand deals and go around giving lectures! It’s ridiculous!
It's an intentional attack on our societies. Just research the people who push harmful social policies that reward bad behavior and ignorance and you'll see that I'm telling the truth. They WANT our Western countries to be filled with stupid, addicted and sick evil people for a reason.
My father never finished high school, but he was one of the smartest people I have ever known. He did read a lot, and never lost his child-like curiosity about everything. When he got older, he’d see something on the news about some country he knew nothing about, pull out the second-hand atlas I gave him and he’d be able to tell you their main exports, whether it’s farms are able to feed their people etc. He was never boastful about knowing more than others, he just would do it for himself to understand the world we live in better. I think I learned more from him than I ever did from any of my teachers. He’s gone now, but I inherited his curiosity. It pains me to see people spouting off about things they know so little about, but don’t realize that they are rather ignorant about it. I used to correct people, but I gave up. You can debate an intelligent person who may have a different opinion, but to the illinformed and misinformed, all you get is noise, contradiction and denial. Now that I’m an old guy myself, I must say that every day I’m surrounded by more and more chronically stupid people.
I'm Filipina and never knew anything about my country until I moved to Chile, and here I became completely enthralled with researching what Hispanic Filipinas was like. I've never stopped and after writing essays and studying 19th C. Spanish sources, now I am writing a fiction work. It fills my world in the most incredible way. Also I follow the invisible developments going on, if you know what I mean, that is fascinating as well, but it gets too heavy at times so I have the other thing. I also live in a cottage in the Andean foothills. Don't spend much time on sidewalks. You have to find your own thing. It's out there waiting for you to get it.
I dislike going out in public as the majority of people I have misfortune to meet are stupid. A total lack of even basic common sense. It's depressing.
Tell me about it. I just rode to the local grocery store with my hubby. He went in to get a few items while I waited in the truck and some little bimbo that works there and is always flirting with him literally chased him out to the truck with me sitting there. Then she had the nerve to look over at me after trying to get him to tell her his last name, and say "Hey there Sweetheart"....UGH. Absolutely shameless, dispicable behavoir.

I had a parking enforcement officer start to write me a ticket as soon as I parked my car and got out to pay. He was standing right there, he saw me. When I tried to explain this to him he said “I am not payed to think about these things and proceed to get very angry.

I totally agree! Ugh @ social media. I'm old enough (40-some) to know a glorious time prior to this hyper-connectivity, and internet. We did things. Outdoors! We grew up stronger physically, morally, and such were able to know how much better life can be w/o constant tethering to 'feeds', social media, & constant force-fed 'information' (aka, BS). I strongly encourage younger peeps to 'cut the cord'. A whole hidden world opens up - some of us call this thing, "living"..

Exactly this. Social Media has a lot to answer for. Too many people use it as an escape from reality. t's the latest fashionable drug that nobody's yet realised is doing so much harm to individuals and the wider society. The ability to think, debate, actual face to face conversation are in decline, civilisation as we know it is grinding to a halt.

When I was at school, I used to wish that I was like some of the other kids who would absorb everything that they were told, without questioning. Fifty + years later and my view has changed, having seen what they, and their kind, became.
They become a product to the system Drilled like the foot soldiers ( Cannon fodder) for the elite, being told how to think and when to wipe your own arse is what education is, with out questioning.
I know what you mean, my school friends that went on to higher education also went onto become the most closed minded people I know, completely incapable of considering the contrary to anything the government media puts out, they believe it without question.
Unfortunately in America we have become a society of childish, adults that pretend to be grownups. You are so correct to we should keep our child like curiosity . While becoming adults. ❤️🙏❤️🙏
You should have millions of followers, I am 68 went to a village school but always read books and still do. I am horrified by the dumbing down we see today, in school I was taught to challenge every thing and learn about as much as possible so that I could converse with a wide variety of people.
Now 62, I was the same. Must be an 'age' thing! Farmer's daughter, church on Sunday, small village school education and just a regular pupil but one who always asked 'WHY' ! My mother took all her 7 children into the city every Thursday after school. We spent at least an hour there choosing our books. We all loved Thursday's. Raised my six children much the same way. All sons and all doing very well for themselves/families owning their own businesses. (An aside- not one of us took them poison shot. )
I go to the car dealer and they have a tv for the adults and a tv room for kids. I could not stand the "news" so I went in the kids room...no one was in there and the tv was off. An employee came in and turned it on. I was appalled...it was mind numbing so I left.
@@chelamcguire I agree wholeheartedly. I'm Grammar school educated,and the two senior English teachers always encouraged me to ask questions (for whiich I have laws been grateful). And I have always held that the most important question is WHY?
I have been a physicist for over 50 years, and what you say is 100% true. The contempt for expertise in the US is real. One point I would make is that the study that make one an experts involves studying books, but much of it is like playing the piano; you have to actually do the work a long time with people who are really expert to develop the high level of skill required to be an expert. You can learn a lot by reading, but you also need years of real experience to be expert.
A real scientist would never say "100% true." You betray your subject and your career with your hyperbole. Another person making sweeping, rash, ill-considered anti-intellectual, reactionary comments. You are called out Sir.....(only a man would make such a comment).
the real experience is denied for far to many children and young people. . . life is supposed to be fun . . . serious about family and hard work so we can actually enjoy the air we breath. . . . the children are stuck at home with there parents stupidity and violence. . . . . parents who intentionaly train there kids for this. . . . they dont know what its like to actually live with the decisions they make. . . .and the kids are board and fed up with the BS that isn't there problem anyway. . . .they cant even vote but we expect the children to know about government and policies then we do. . . . and the lies. . . . . we never had a chance to know the truth without without being possessions and empty vessels for an old generation to put there crap.
Well, a glance over the shoulder and back 4-5 years, displays many legitimate reasons to take any expert with at least a grain of salt. As the research of Mattias Desmet revealed, it is "experts" that is overrepresentated amongst those groups that is most prone to mass formation.
Hello Bjorn I'm an ex city girl from Edinburgh Scotland I moved to the Netherlands in the countryside and its done me wonders physically and mentally but the rate idiocy is on the rise in th UK is truly terrifying especially Scotland 😢
I developed these rules for myself a fair few years before the pandemic showed up, but they've been serving me well so far: 1. Listen to everybody (no matter who they are) 2. Believe nobody (no matter who they are) 3. Locate as much original source data as possible 4. Make up your own mind from all of the above.
I've loved reading since childhood, I'm still reading, and learning, at 67, left school at 15 as I needed to work, didn't stop me continuing to learn, I've no idea how many books on multiple topics I've consumed over the years, but I've no intention of stopping anytime soon 😊
i think in the next few years its going to turn around . parents are catching on to what the Federall Govt and unelected billionaire world leaders are pushing on thier kids
Not only that, but it's an echo chambers for like minded freaks who normally wouldn't in the real world find each other, but collaborate their idiocy once they can communicate in an online group. But what kills me is a group of kids standing in a circle waiting for the bus, and they are all on their cellphones talking to anyone else but who they are with physically.
And the people lost it's identity. Men with beards claiming to be women using public women restrooms ECT. Lost there minds. If you call it out. Your looked upon as criminal. What.! Guess I'm a criminal I'm calling it out questioning idiots
And the fault for what you are talking about lies at the feet of the educated elites. There is no problem with your basic morons, they don't think they are smarter than everyone else. Now the educated idiots are a big problem due to them thinking that they know what is best for everyone else. When reality shows everything they touch turns to $h!+.

I remember anti intellectualism in the 80's, where being bored, reactive, and not being curious about anything was the peak of cool. Being a 'nerd' was social suicide. I knew kids who purposely got bad grades in school so that popular (failing) kids would be nicer to them. Carl Sagan talked about this in the 70's. It's not a new concept at all. I guess people are talking about it today because it's much harder to ignore.

COMPLETELY AGREE. Some days I wonder if I’m the only one who sees these things. People have no shame these days. They will say or do anything stupid. And they are praised for it! What the hell?
There is a growing narcissism. People behave like narcissists more as that is modelled for them. They are addicted to soaps and reality TV. I was into reality TV for a few years as it was a novelty back then and then got bored with it. They started recruiting obnoxious people deliberately and types of people they thought wouldn't get on together. That's when I stopped. I didn't watch soaps either apart from one. I was then out of sync with people who did. I had a friend who was anti TV and wouldn't keep one at home. But she was fanatical about this. She said her cousins didn't have TV growing up, which is why they got talented at piano and ballet. I told getting rid of the TV wouldn't make a piano and piano teacher magically appear. So, I wrote a story based on her cycling around Wales on a mission to rid society of TV. I called it Judy on the Road.
Me and my fiance literally don't like going out anymore at all because we have literally watched the decline in society and it is scary to know that here soon society will be so dumbed down that people will believe 2+2=pineapple just so they won't be confronted by these people that are steadily destroying everything

ABSOLUTLY !!! One important key; as Ellen G. White or Orwell warn to us: Get out the cities. Because is in the cities where are plagues will be apply. CDBS, 15 min cities,... its only the beginning Far from the cities there will be much less control because the lacks of police and rules, and you will have more freedom, more life healthy abd quality in the next SADLY years.
This Carl Sagan quote is on my mind a lot lately... "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
I have often seen this sentiment, in the form of this quote: "it is easier to fool a man, than to convince him he has been fooled." It is usually attributed to Mark Twain, but there seems to be no evidence of the actual author. Regardless, it seems an accurate observation.
Im a 90's kid and I remember when I was around 12 my father took me to a shoe store and at the checkout the ladies says, "can i have your phone number for our system?". The offended look on my fathers face said it all. We have badly fallen as a society to have given our privacy and freedom so cheaply while half asleep. If calamity doesnt kill you stupidity surely will.
i do all my shopping online, no way to do it without giving away personal info but to me it's still much more private than going into a store and being in public around total strangers who could actually physically touch me if they chose.
Not all privacy violations are created equal. The bigger risk these days are data leak hacks on large companies. I trust a vendor to treat my info decently (usually you can tell them not to spam you with ads and they listen), but accumulating lots for it to be leaked and distributed into the scam-sphere is where the real pain is. We live in the golden age of scams, after all!!! Also biometrics - that's a no-go for me most of the time.
Finally!! Someone saying this out loud! I am constantly telling people that I will not take nonsense and make it a conversation. I have to add that we are now learning much about nutrition that has been hidden from us. We have been deceived there as well. It isn’t a wonder people are distrustful. We have been lied to in every aspect of our lives and now it is up to us to find the truths.

I agree we should continually educate ourselves. At the same time we should always find a balance between “trusting the experts” and trusting our experiences. I believe this was once referred to as critical thinking and was summarized in “question everything you hear and know.”
Yeah I agree. Trust but verify. Asking questions, even of experts, is not attacking intellectualism because everyone can have facts at least shaded by personal prejudice.

I think the problem is, that most of us lost the connection to the nature. Not knowing names and benefits of trees and plants. Not knowing how to grow the simplest veggies. Not knowing how to use tools and how to fix simple things. I see how children nowadays grow up and I compare it with my childhood. We learned so much with being outside on our own, building tree houses and rafts. Making tours with bikes without being monitored through parents all the time. We have to take a few steps back as a society.

But listening to different analysts is on the rise. Who are these speakers,who talk words ,shape opinions, but is there truth in things they preach, it’s only their opinion people take for granted.

In my philosophy, there is a difference between intellect and intelligence. Intelligence is like the magnificent, subtle and little-understood workings of your body, that quietly and exquisitely gets on with it. Intellect for me is a smallish subset of this intelligence and it has its place - even though it frequently bigs itself up yet gets it wrong! I try to cultivate my instinctual intelligence, which is like a still small voice, that cuts through to aspects that intellect cannot even imagine. I think we all have access to this instinctual intelligence but it is easily overlooked.
I started reading as a hobby again after many years not doing so and it opens your mind up so much. We should never think we know it all, there's always something to learn.

It's exactly like that in Germany too. Because the system was "neoliberalized" years ago. Finding the root cause is expensive and after healing, the patient doesn't generate money anymore. You have to be your own layman doctor now, and use the professional doctors as a tool to get what you need.

In the very middle of your video you highlighted the most important thing in my opinion: intelectialism in not an certain education level - it's an attitude. It's an attitude of staying curious, open-minded, ready to change your opinions and point of view when confronted with facts, which BTW you are able to sort out from the noise and nonsense.

College student here. Some of the things I have had to deal with are, proposing the revoking citizenship based on ideology, don't think for yourself the people I approve of will tell you what to think, limiting who can give their opinion based on skin color or gender, and a refusal to engage with an idea or concept if the group it is popular with is the wrong side.
If you have your citizenship revoked due to ideology, where are you expected to go? I'm assuming it will only be aimed at conservative views of course..
The elites have broken the code. They know if they asked the public to censor themselves for the sake of the elite, the public would rightfully rebel. So instead, they ask the public to censor themselves for the sake of oppressed and marginalized, and the public are guilted into compliance. Of course, it is the interests of the elite that are being served the whole time, and censorship by social pressure is a stalking horse for censorship by political coercion.
💯Bjorn, I saw this happening on the television decades ago. I was shocked that the programming was accepted and "successful'. I can't bear to turn on a television now.
I knew that this topic was inevitable. I have come to realise that people are no longer using their own innate abilities anymore. We the free thinkers are now having to invest more of our time dealing with stupidity and stupid people. Evidence is not an option anymore!!!.. Anyways elder, great topic as usual! I will never stop saying Thank you!
I am following a channel on youtube for a while already. It is called 432 the drop radio. His investigations are really deep and thoroughly. A lot about hidden history and deception used on us.
I love all of this. I am a board certified hypnotherapist, which is just a fancy way to say I went to a brick and mortar school. It is a self regulated field. I have met many other hypnotherapist who just read a book or watch a video. It is shocking. This is your BRAIN. You are literally rewiring neural-pathways. So scary that people are out there acting like therapist with no background . This happens is many many fields (yoga, coaching and more all are self regulated. ). Thank you for this relaxing, centering and educational video
The deluded in their illusion , eyes wide shut , plugged in but nobody home , with some bizarre , almost fear , of education. Thoroughly enjoy your talks , thank you 👍🏻
Your thirst for knowledge should grow as you age. Question everything, do not trust anyone in a position of authority, they do not all have your best interest at heart.♥️
I have always questioned everything I see or hear, especially when I'm told that "This is the truth!" Critical thinking has certainly taken a dive down the S-bend, particularly over the last three years of the Coof. The Covidian cult has a very strong following and there are still many of their high priests preaching their sermons to their mindless flock. Thank you for all your videos, Bjorn. They have been beacons in a time of darkness. Cheers, Steve
I lived with hippies up a mountain in the Canaries for 1 year. Living in nature and growing our own food/medicine. 💚 I learnt more in 1 year than the previous 20.
@@barniball this was in Tenerife high up past a place called Arafo. There are numerous places just in Tenerife. We stayed at an old tobacco farm/finca. The land was huge and covered many terraces in wooded areas where people built amazing recycled houses from old pallets/ salvaged wood. We had solar electric, also fresh water source from the mountain. It really was heaven. Unfortunately the guy who made the decisions moved to Portugal and the land went back to the owner. It is still unused now. So much potential for the right team of people.
Thanks for sharing that! 👍 Yes, there's a tinge of jealousy in me for your experience there, but I also realize that you'd probably be envious of some of my life's chapters. If you happen to read this reply, can you please briefly describe what was the most useful thing that you've experienced/learned from your year-long bush living?

Congratulations on 7 years! I've only recently found your channel and love listening to your philosophies. Learning new things is wonderful and vital for a healthy brain and yet our school system (UK) has gradually and deliberately taken away anything that teaches HOW to think and replaced it with WHAT to think. Stay curious
I have fought against this most of my life. I was always curious and loved to study about many things. I am now 61 yo and find it increasingly difficult to be around the dumb downed masses. I am not anti social in the classic definition but prefer my own company and the company of my dogs at this stage of my life.
Hello Bjorn.I just found your channel last night and became a new subscriber. You speak the truth. I have observed the dummying down of society throughout my life. Sometimes it can be dangerous to disagree people who are ignorant. The jab leads to the slab. Others shun books but we're avid readers in my home. I'm grateful to connect with others who feel this way. Thank you for your important efforts.
I watched one video and subscribed immediately. This is so refreshing. It's childlike curiosity and it's a wonderful thing. I had and have A LOT of it. Got mocked and chastised all my life for it. Am now 60 and glad I never lost it. I use every opportunity to foster it in my grandchildren.
Thank you sir, for your thoughtful and insightful discussion. I am 78 years old and I am still learning every day. I am often surprised at what I learn, not only about the world around me but also about myself. I am a very different person now to the man I was thirty or fourty years ago. In today's world there is a lack of recognition of the ability and need for people to grow and develop as the years pass. Hopefully we become wiser and more tolerant as the brashness and know it all attitudes soften with time. We are and were, all capable of being stupid at some point in our lives. In the world today one stupid act as a young person will haunt you for the rest of your days and be used to define you and your character by those who disagree with you and who have little or no capacity for self reflection.
I totally agree with doing your own research. I went to school in the 60’s and 70’s study was encouraged and we had discourse and talked about opposing views. I did begin to notice the trend towards discouraging discourse towards the end of schooling and now it is criminal what they are doing to our children.
Yep, I grew up in the 70's & was encouraged to do my own research & to think for myself. I then went to uni much later on & received a grade C for doing extensive research for an assignment & the person next to me received a grade A+ for plagiarising the lecturers published text!! If that's not academic corruption, I don't know what is!!
Thank you for sharing your love of nature, your calming insight, and for echoing the thoughts of many. I feel like you are the calm in my storm. I'm in the US, a beautiful country, also, but I feel like it's crumbling in front of my eyes. I'm 65, and I feel so helpless and scared for our children. You give me hope. Thank you...

100% I’ve experienced similar in Australia since 1973. It baffles me how so many people seem to have seriously impaired empathy, extreme entitlement and no basic courtesy. It all seems to be tied to stupidity, cruelty and a brutish attitude to life and others. My childhood wasn’t like that at all. Blokes used to fix stuff properly on a handshake. Can’t even imagine that now.

An intellectual (very few < 1%)) has and utilizes more practically his knowledge of physics, philosophy I.e. Kant, his library which must contain at least 100 books including various Russian/Greek/Roman era authors and for Bull here on the topic of fixing cars, tractors or electronics or servicing his own house (preferably rural farm) the content in his garage which must contain multiple many more tools then his kitchen or say rec room + his ability to preserve some wealth for hard times (and have a garden) which are coming as witnessed in the provocations in every dimensions/sphere of human activity as in 2024.

My father never finished high school, but he was one of the smartest people I have ever known. He did read a lot, and never lost his child-like curiosity about everything. When he got older, he’d see something on the news about some country he knew nothing about, pull out the second-hand atlas I gave him and he’d be able to tell you their main exports, whether it’s farms are able to feed their people etc. He was never boastful about knowing more than others, he just would do it for himself to understand the world we live in better. I think I learned more from him than I ever did from any of my teachers. He’s gone now, but I inherited his curiosity. It pains me to see people spouting off about things they know so little about, but don’t realize that they are rather ignorant about it. I used to correct people, but I gave up. You can debate an intelligent person who may have a different opinion, but to the illinformed and misinformed, all you get is noise, contradiction and denial. Now that I’m an old guy myself, I must say that every day I’m surrounded by more and more chronically stupid people.

Also I follow the invisible developments going on, if you know what I mean, that is fascinating as well, but it gets too heavy at times so I have the other thing.

You can learn a lot by reading, but you also need years of real experience to be expert.
Have been teaching - mostly physics - since 1977. You are absolutely right about the piano. I wish more physicists knew this.

I remember anti intellectualism in the 80's, where being bored, reactive, and not being curious about anything was the peak of cool. Being a 'nerd' was social suicide. I knew kids who purposely got bad grades in school so that popular (failing) kids would be nicer to them. Carl Sagan talked about this in the 70's. It's not a new concept at all. I guess people are talking about it today because it's much harder to ignore.

There is a growing narcissism. People behave like narcissists more as that is modelled for them. They are addicted to soaps and reality TV. I was into reality TV for a few years as it was a novelty back then and then got bored with it. They started recruiting obnoxious people deliberately and types of people they thought wouldn't get on together. That's when I stopped. I didn't watch soaps either apart from one. I was then out of sync with people who did.
I had a friend who was anti TV and wouldn't keep one at home. But she was fanatical about this. She said her cousins didn't have TV growing up, which is why they got talented at piano and ballet. I told getting rid of the TV wouldn't make a piano and piano teacher magically appear. So, I wrote a story based on her cycling around Wales on a mission to rid society of TV. I called it Judy on the Road.

This Carl Sagan quote is on my mind a lot lately...
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

We have badly fallen as a society to have given our privacy and freedom so cheaply while half asleep. If calamity doesnt kill you stupidity surely will.
i do all my shopping online, no way to do it without giving away personal info but to me it's still much more private than going into a store and being in public around total strangers who could actually physically touch me if they chose.

Not all privacy violations are created equal. The bigger risk these days are data leak hacks on large companies.
I trust a vendor to treat my info decently (usually you can tell them not to spam you with ads and they listen), but accumulating lots for it to be leaked and distributed into the scam-sphere is where the real pain is. We live in the golden age of scams, after all!!!

Yeah I agree. Trust but verify. Asking questions, even of experts, is not attacking intellectualism because everyone can have facts at least shaded by personal prejudice.

I think the problem is, that most of us lost the connection to the nature. Not knowing names and benefits of trees and plants. Not knowing how to grow the simplest veggies. Not knowing how to use tools and how to fix simple things. I see how children nowadays grow up and I compare it with my childhood. We learned so much with being outside on our own, building tree houses and rafts. Making tours with bikes without being monitored through parents all the time. We have to take a few steps back as a society.

After the “special operations “, in parts of our only home,planet Earth, I don’t watch the news too. Human interaction is a luxury,that majority are missing, willfully or circumstantially. But listening to different analysts is on the rise. Who are these speakers,who talk words ,shape opinions, but is there truth in things they preach, it’s only their opinion people take for granted. Reading books became something archaic, the fast paced life does not allow more than few minutes concentration on anything, let alone reflecting on anything.

In my philosophy, there is a difference between intellect and intelligence. Intelligence is like the magnificent, subtle and little-understood workings of your body, that quietly and exquisitely gets on with it. Intellect for me is a smallish subset of this intelligence and it has its place - even though it frequently bigs itself up yet gets it wrong! I try to cultivate my instinctual intelligence, which is like a still small voice, that cuts through to aspects that intellect cannot even imagine. I think we all have access to this instinctual intelligence but it is easily overlooked.

Unfortunately, I find that with the health care system. Instead of getting to the root of problems it is becoming more or less “Take this pill and hope it works!”
It's exactly like that in Germany too. Because the system was "neoliberalized" years ago. Finding the root cause is expensive and after healing, the patient doesn't generate money anymore. You have to be your own layman doctor now, and use the professional doctors as a tool to get what you need.
@@allesdurchprobiert Yeah, well they want you healthy but not too healthy or else that means less money for them. I only go to the doctor’s as a last resort and unfortunately, with a current medical problem it is a last resort sadly. However, I have been taking more health and psychology courses the past few years and reading/ trying natural means. But in certain cases medication is a last option.
In the very middle of your video you highlighted the most important thing in my opinion: intelectialism in not an certain education level - it's an attitude. It's an attitude of staying curious, open-minded, ready to change your opinions and point of view when confronted with facts, which BTW you are able to sort out from the noise and nonsense.

It is quite easy to gauge a man's intellectual capacity which very few have: His abhorrence for slick PowerPoint slides as components of contemporary issues/discussion, his reliance on MSM for his belief system and biases, his mantra's based on the opinions of his dumbed down coterie for approval (co_id) and competing wisdom. An intellectual (very few < 1%)) has and utilizes more practically his knowledge of physics, philosophy I.e. Kant, his library which must contain at least 100 books including various Russian/Greek/Roman era authors and for Bull here on the topic of fixing cars, tractors or electronics or servicing his own house (preferably rural farm) the content in his garage which must contain multiple many more tools then his kitchen or say rec room + his ability to preserve some wealth for hard times (and have a garden) which are coming as witnessed in the provocations in every dimensions/sphere of human activity as in 2024.
College student here. Some of the things I have had to deal with are, proposing the revoking citizenship based on ideology, don't think for yourself the people I approve of will tell you what to think, limiting who can give their opinion based on skin color or gender, and a refusal to engage with an idea or concept if the group it is popular with is the wrong side.
I think you're confused on some issues.
If you have your citizenship revoked due to ideology, where are you expected to go? I'm assuming it will only be aimed at conservative views of course..
The elites have broken the code. They know if they asked the public to censor themselves for the sake of the elite, the public would rightfully rebel. So instead, they ask the public to censor themselves for the sake of oppressed and marginalized, and the public are guilted into compliance. Of course, it is the interests of the elite that are being served the whole time, and censorship by social pressure is a stalking horse for censorship by political coercion.

Congratulations on 7 years! I've only recently found your channel and love listening to your philosophies. Learning new things is wonderful and vital for a healthy brain and yet our school system (UK) has gradually and deliberately taken away anything that teaches HOW to think and replaced it with WHAT to think. Stay curious
Thank you, Karen!
I have fought against this most of my life. I was always curious and loved to study about many things. I am now 61 yo and find it increasingly difficult to be around the dumb downed masses. I am not anti social in the classic definition but prefer my own company and the company of my dogs at this stage of my life.
Hello Bjorn.I just found your channel last night and became a new subscriber. You speak the truth. I have observed the dummying down of society throughout my life.

It's childlike curiosity and it's a wonderful thing. I had and have A LOT of it. Got mocked and chastised all my life for it. Am now 60 and glad I never lost it. I use every opportunity to foster it in my grandchildren.
Thank you sir, for your thoughtful and insightful discussion. I am 78 years old and I am still learning every day. I am often surprised at what I learn, not only about the world around me but also about myself. I am a very different person now to the man I was thirty or fourty years ago. In today's world there is a lack of recognition of the ability and need for people to grow and develop as the years pass. Hopefully we become wiser and more tolerant as the brashness and know it all attitudes soften with time. We are and were, all capable of being stupid at some point in our lives. In the world today one stupid act as a young person will haunt you for the rest of your days and be used to define you and your character by those who disagree with you and who have little or no capacity for self reflection.

Stupidity we are born with, ignorance is learned.
I totally agree with doing your own research. I went to school in the 60’s and 70’s study was encouraged and we had discourse and talked about opposing views. I did begin to notice the trend towards discouraging discourse towards the end of schooling and now it is criminal what they are doing to our children.
Yep, I grew up in the 70's & was encouraged to do my own research & to think for myself. I then went to uni much later on & received a grade C for doing extensive research for an assignment & the person next to me received a grade A+ for plagiarising the lecturers published text!! If that's not academic corruption, I don't know what is!!
