Roger Waters' Final Pink Floyd Cut

I'll tell you what! Whoever made those MIn movies owes Roger Waters so much in back-dated royalties that he could afford to buy Nick and Susie the whole of Alexandra Palace just to get them that piano and a decent house with an indoor heated swimming pool. ♥️

Terence McKenna and John Searle

At  1:08:35  on the dark side of psychedelics: 1:12:38  psychedelics are "proto-religious". So understand the extent to which the various religions are veridical, we need to be very careful about how we construct objective ontologies.  22:17 : On epistemologically objective theories of ontologically subjective states at  28:08 : what ties these presentations and representations together is logic . For example, when Searle states the ontologically objective existence of mountains, molecules and mammoths, there is an implicit theory of geology, chemistry and paleontology which gives us the denotations of the words mountains , molecules and mammoths . And the necessary feature of the logic which gives those words meaning is that it is formally consistent . See  Logic . At  33:33  I had not heard this when I made this recording yesterday. (And note the irony that the sound/visual representation slips by about 1 second by the end of the eleven minutes...

On Finding Your People

David Foster Wallace : See  this playlist for more .  That is the Real American Dream, ... "Water, water every-where, ..." Continued here: See  Terence McKenna and John Searle ,  Sylvie and Bruno, by Lewis Carroll - Vols. I & II For many thousands of years before it became a reservoir of water for the greater Los Angeles area,  Hetch Hetchy Valley  was home to Native Americans. So you will find that Hollywood owes an awful lot to Native America and the Great Spirit. And so does Nashville, ... And so does New York, ... After shooting this movie Pollock reportedly became very angry, saying that the filming was "phony" and as a result he stopped painting in this way.

There is very little in the way of early footage of Native Americans, but the way P...

Noam Chomsky Laying America's Woes at the Feet of Civil Libertarians

Image
I don't know who these mysterious and criminally lazy Civil Libertarians are. Does he mean people like Nancy Pelosi? See  my comment on YouTube : I'm impressed! So what gives private interests the power to, say, shut down a publisher just because they printed a book? Why couldn't those authors just have their books published by other independent imprints? Because they had sold the rights to the publisher who had sold them on to a shell company that was never going to print them and to fight those cases in [courts] would have cost tens of millions and taken years and because there were hardly any other small publishers around anyway and their publicity budgets were so small compared to the big publishers like Elsevier etc that they were hardly publishing at all. So the problem is abuse of the power of money. And just look at what Hunt was doing manipulating the press in the early sixties to get Johnson elected after JFK was assassinated, ... So this is Chomsky defending his ...
