on a beach in the caribbean, the world consumed blissfully because of what you say. don't pay reparations for what they've done and pay back the money they owe us. then we don't want them sending anything in their sleep. i'm not going to be legend. okay, you like a baby, you begin faces with the most you and what, how far i just wanna have to go and how radical does when have to continue to be to achieve that go ahead, done. so these are just reverse system. the system, like these typically creates processes that maintain the status, quoting so it might, for example, to meet non violent resistance, but at the same time itself take violent action against the population. once the power structure within the system becomes that a symmetrical response, likewise has to be a symmetrical with us. and so radicalism and polarization become a necessity in order for us to get results of the back. if it's less upon the go see, as we will go up, like a police has nothing negotiations. in the case of quoted con,

back in the 19 seventy's farm workers, hilde log scale strikes, cooling 1st off to the use of the pesticide, let them move it. they negotiated in vain, and you've been nicholas 40 years later with phasing a health crisis that will be with us for another 700 is call us up and go through because you can't negotiate with someone who doesn't consider you their re quote. with funding goes, it is an over the goal is to get them to fuck up and they've got what we have to figure out is how do we remove those from power that prevent people and, and communities to live lives with dignity and ensuring that human rights 1799. thomas jefferson was a witness to the french revolution was serving as the us some past due to paris. he knows that the cutting off heads is becoming so much a mood that one is up to feel of the morning with their own is on their shoulders. but we are not to expect to be translated from despotism, sensitivity,

inexpensive. but jefferson found himself involved offering advice to the would be reformers among them. his friend, lucky to lafayette, with the jefferson's help, the left by a pen the declaration of the rights of mind. and the citizen which was paused by the new french national constituent assembly. in august, 1799 article one minute boone and remained free and equal in right. the paris is the city that connects me to thomas jefferson. i grew up and went to school in one of its suburbs. my sister and father are the only members of my family still living here. whenever i'm in town, i stay with the cables. she's a car geologist at a paris hospital and normally goes to work early in the morning. but today there's

time for us to enjoy a french breakfast together. and friends, women like us who are born to black mother and a white father are called mid cheese or mixed race. we grew up used to terminology like this, together with race of slogans at school, at the workplace, and even in our own family, the most comfortable . she said she just takes down. you're gonna make him. i remember this time back when i was a med student in turn, when one of my classmates asked a girlfriend of mine a question. she didn't know the answer, but i did. and he said, i'm not listening to you. you have no idea. when i asked him why he looked at me and said, because they're black though that was really hard and i said, i'm sure he was looking. but it shows how unaware he was of the potential impact of

his words. how comments like that can harm people that could cost to have this and the concept. yes. if it's a form of violence, i'll see you. yes, it is. and in the medical world, if things are already difficult enough, kennedy is interested in the most of the i tomorrow i'm off to see ground and did to talk to him about his political views. what do you think about that is almost the brave of you the my grandfather lives in a small village in the north of france, far away from cosmopolitan like jump. yeah. well, i guess my dad's father. and now 91 years old,

the child of colonizers and raised in a family of old jerry and spaniards. a constitutes an irresolvable complex for me. he was always very loving towards us as black granddaughters, while at the same time expressing races sentiments. he became involved in the far right phone us tonight after is on the he looked then became leader of the party now called the some of them on us to not the to the uh oh, you mean just the words of long distance for those you can put that on today. oh, it varies here. just to go send my grandfather spent many years in africa and jerry a, the central african republic and quote, you've always saw things through the eyes of

a colonialist for him. other cultures, especially african or era, were inferior. let assume a plus plus the 2000 and if so, grandad, for a number of years you were inactive, us with the phone. us to not much of them is, could you both called the need you to, to know? i was too busy working to be an act available at the meeting that you ran for them and elections, who identified with their manifesto. yes, liver. the whole of what do you see is the biggest problems in society today. overall, do you see like just the little by little the borders or disappear a 40 f t p eventually there will be none here. hm. little more than the world will be one of the sales people more than once. the boarders are all gone. yeah. all of the races will mix the of us. uh huh. the,

the races will mix meaning. well. it, jody. he said, yeah, it's allianz, the spaniards, the lebanese, the british and the americans only all mixing together and the laws and then creates conflict. so, so if you're the coffee. mm hm. what are the, what about me? i'm a mix to the way, but yes, but that's not the same. so, but in the middle of you come from a french territory into the, to a whole, you're not from a foreign one to be up until you fill it. ok. just go. what does it mean to be french zone to? i suppose this is judy, it's somebody who was born in france and lives there. he goes to the old school, don't have it. so if someone from senegal, algeria, or morocco and their grades here, or from cambodia, then they're french to see fulfill, say, the buffalo civil, and it was not necessarily, well, they don't live like french people both. you'll do

a lot from the moment foreigners arrive in france. they need sound reasons for settling 0. you can, but they can't just come over here. oh, you can play, come here to work me. see? but if there are folks who don't want to get a job, you do that, but we shouldn't let them stay. well, you, me put it on there, but it's kind of a still a part of you still trust to solve the problems you're talking about. your father? yes. you. of course. yes you. yes you, if you do me, it is. and if they were elections tomorrow, if one and they get a lot of a book with the google vote party gives priority to french. people should look just like you and your own home. you put your children 1st to as well. you can't make that comparison table. this is a bunch of it in a family of your own children always take priority. there's also, it's your family stuff. i mean

it would be the last time i saw my grandfather. he died from cove it a few months after my visit as fond as we were of each other. we were strangers in terms of our outlook on the world. ready for him, borders seem to be a god given thing for him and training so called racial purity. but seen historically, they're the exact opposite. continually changing and often arbitrarily drawn lines that stakeouts sovereignty claims and keep people artificially separate at the founding fathers of the united states, but determined to enlarge the young nations to treat when thomas jefferson was sworn in, is this the president a nice, you know, one the country was just a fraction of its current territory on the jefferson, the skill diplomats, the us expanded westwards, is most remarkable achievement. securing a huge fringe, controlled, colonial total. truth of the bargain price of $15000000.00. the louisiana purchase

sold the country nearly double in size, but there was a lose inside the indigenous population to relax and finally displaced in force to live on this new territory. many people suffice it's an old debate that never goes away. who gets to come in and who has to leave, who belongs, and who doesn't? and both the us and you're on the one hand enlightened europe proudly proclaims its commitment to universal human rights. while at the same time erecting fences along this external borders and interning ordinary individuals and camps, you're of the call to the end of the enlightenment. the ceiling itself off to secure domestic stability is the you failing to deliver on its proclaimed universal rights. we are convinced that each human being has

a solemn dignity that can never be touched independent with this individual does come from i. there's nothing that we ought to be ashamed of ourselves by having to repeat the very same speeches we gave a year ago. so now we can say it's not the full but the 5th winter in which children are having to live in on the heat at the end. but the campaign moria burned to the ground on, and the people in both near hudson gulf enough and now suffering respecting the low means in forcing it to this. and that's what i expected the european commission into for them. and if the parliament too serious about this multitude launch an inquiry to get to the bottom of all these incidents, except there's something about all the things that we need to talk about money to us versus entrepreneurs to, with some concepts of the human being. so the human was supposed to be the pin of the west person and the actual forces. awesome being. so the idea of the migrant,

they seem to janiella deal the actual force that on the beam, which is not really human enough. and that's why you can treat them, you know, a single 1250 years after thomas jefferson, the idea of equality and unalienable rights remains precarious. men are created equal perhaps in certain groups. but others are considered inferior simply for being different or other maybe the enlightenment is not the success story that has brought us only progress over the last 3 centuries. the unlike the 19th century and people like cable and marks, the enlightenment never believes that progress was necessary and inevitable. it only believed that it was possible. that was a new idea,

progresses in our hands and that means so is rigorous. it's up to us the over the course of my journey, i keep thinking of stephen painter. and this idea of us having had nothing but improvement since the enlightenment, which from me seems a worthy topic of debate. hi stevens. really? yeah. hi. this is how are you very good to you. yeah. good. has he been involved in so far so good. yeah. and for fascinating cities. so what history i spend today accompanying this defender of the enlightenment around berlin and have a few questions for him. could it be that pinker has a somewhat one sided view of human kinds of progress in the last 2 and a half centuries and emitted certain parts of the world?

perhaps he's forgotten how hard people in social movements have had to fight for progress. seems to be the easiest i progress as an organic natural process? no, i haven't, i that's not the way i think of it actually, but i mean at least judging from the book this is, you know, so we see the grass and we see that done where a curse. but there's little to be said about how they went down. well, i don't think of progress as an organic process. i think it's a large reading productivity enlightment of the idea that we can use knowledge to advance human flourishing. and to the extent that we try to implement enlightenment, ideal slight reason and science and humanism, then progress can go forward, but it certainly doesn't happen by itself. and of course, there have been times in history where, where mass movements have been essential to process progress. you also criticize movement, social justice movements, and the less, you know, for being progress. so folk or something like progressive progressive fallback that

progressive phobic. um, but if it wasn't for them and you know, the, the, the liberation movements, the social justice movements struggles that have contributed to a lot of progress. and it seems that so what we'll do seeing the plate, i'm all in favor of social justice and social justice movements. if they are driven by the lightning and commitments to individual rights. it's the principles are for your light and that but justify be pushed back against government oppression. because an important of light in principle was that governments are there to serve the interest of the people who we look back a couple of 100 years. we've had a handful of democracies. now, a majority of countries in more democratic than autocratic and the majority of the world's population lives in the countries that are more democratic than autocratic . and this is a fulfilling and enlightenment ideal, and it's continuing to be committed to that idea over at energizer,

this movements against government depression and today is august is the work of humans. and there's also the question of who profits from it. ringback according to the figures, only a small minority of us, while the 1000000000 areas of our planet enjoyed a more than 50 percent increase in their wealth during the pandemic. in the same period over 150000000 additional people around the world has been affected by hunger. let's this out. what is poverty adjusted for inflation and cost of living for a country? $2.15 a day? is the world bank indicator, a lot of anthropologist say that number is far too low. if you want to base your definition of poverty on having a dignified existence in society, and that could mean from a 7 to even $15.00 a day to speak with us. and then with those figures in mind, we have over 4000000000 people living in poverty. that puts this success story in a very different light enough. our one of the biggest issues facing the world today

is economic inequality. a question that decides which people are even able to participate in society who has the opportunity and the right to have a feeling life and who doesn't. what answers to the 21st century, some light and thinkers, half the we could think of a very small tax that a we citizen of the rich countries which they in order to support the poor countries. we should think of the system of taxation on the global level and not only on a national level, but a target store. yeah. when you look at taxes, it's important to ask what kind of instrument they are. we've gotten used to a narrative of the state taking away something from citizens, a bureaucratic monster controlling people in order to feed itself them, it's a fit that english is. yeah. but when you look at taxes, there's

a regulatory framework that is defined by our social contract well being on, cuz that's how it's set to talk on site. so he said that those who get a lot also give a bigger share back, i'll go soon tired. so look game, so that we're able to pay jointly for infrastructure, security, education, and health, etc, a time for our taxes. in fact, the ultimate tool of light in men for ensuring justice. do we need a global compensation mechanism that takes from the richest and gives to the poorest? in an effort to get multinational corporations to pay up and 202-1136 countries agreed to a minimum global taxation rate. all companies would be required to pay at least 15 percent in taxes regardless of where they make their profits. but is there much point to such moves if there are always loophole somewhere, enabling those to avoid such taxes. one of the principal backers of the global minimum tax rate was german chancellor and former finance minister will laugh shots,

who as himself faced accusations of having been involved in the biggest tax related scandal in german history. the, in some, this come ex case was uncovered by a multinational media partnership, coordinated by the german non profit news room cause like teeth. it's journalists discovered that a gang of bankers and lawyers, cheated tax payers around the world to the tune of at least $100.00 in $50000000000.00 euros through refunds of taxes. they never paid. one such come x still involve german base formats, spunk and starch about high profile. politicians were also implicated in the scandal. comics is the perfect example of this injustice in our taxation systems. a small group who already have plenty enriching themselves at the expense of society . money that was sorely needed for schools, hospitals, nursing staff and caregivers because it's an attack on somebody coverage, you know, and that's something that is a little bit abstract. i feel like many people don't really know what happened and

that that was no public outreach. do you think it has to do with the people who are involved in the screams and that they do not correspond to the typical image that we have of criminals? before publishing this investigation, we asked our rita's, how would they define qu, megs on one pass and, and so it also tells us the house and, and so can come back to so i think that's exactly the deficient. and the thing that, that's, that gives us an answer to your question. and that's exactly the thing the, a well dressed a come from good university is the a part of the ellipse. what i wanted to, to, to avoid is disclose vacation. mm hm. like, okay. yeah. you know, he was such a small guy, they are also geniuses. do you know, come up with the formula to rob us all. i think. ok. i'm sorry. no, i mean they are criminals. what do you think is particularly wrong with our respect system that low is as well so to pose and such scandals?

to happen. i think the main problem is that you have 2 parts. there are not equal talking about the quantity. so the problem to prosecute is the authorities operates on a national level, was criminals operate and across the board a level. so if and, and the dental and prosecute as want to investigate something in the netherlands, they have to stop on the boat and ask me a call x to, to, to do that. it takes time. they have a lot of limitations in terms of which kind of information they can share because uh, privacy laws and they both needs to rethink the way they, they, they fight against this kind of a fraud with justice stops on the border and clean an increment. ality troubles all over the walls in every country. people try to avoid tax is people don't really understand why taxes are important in our society. how can you explain that? i mean it's, it has to do with this misconception with what the taxes off for the reason why

taxes have this. but the bad image is because a lot of politicians in the system labeling themselves in negative that has to be removed like you're going to law. and this message is it's really undermine. and you know, the social role of texas, texas alba to miguel our society to spend more equal. i mean, that's what it's under a talk from my point of view almost every day. because is this, this, this new liberal idea that if you are not doing good in life, is because you, this of it, i'm sorry, so a lot of people who are born and in, under m and, and social conditions or, or with, with any kind of, of of limitations that don't allow them to be equal, and that's why, you know, text is all full text is where an explosive issue back in thomas jefferson's time to no taxation without represent in taishan the rallying cry of those fighting cus,

independence, who feels that was time they stopped paying taxes to the british crown. philandering founding fathers also had their own financial interests in mind. many of them needed slavery to prevail without the plantation would collapse. thomas jefferson was in any case facing mounting, did, leaving beyond his mains and spending profit. this amounts of money on the sofa and porcelain ok and expensive wine. ironically, jefferson's face would like to to and the tooth on the bill. the like so many other islands in the world oceans, monique, is, and especially grave danger from rising sea levels. another manifestation of

inequality, with the wealthiest 10 percent of the global population, responsible for almost half of carbon emissions. it's those contributing the lease to the climate crisis who will suffer the most to see the glasses these are moving to the body shop already starting with thomas jefferson have to say about economic and environmental inequality. if you are us president today, and about the staggering wealth of a few contrasting with extreme poverty of others, i see you is prepared to celebrate dispute these benefits. 3 of the declaration of independence. in 1826. jefferson's health was to 2 racing. it was unable to attend

the festivities in washington. what he did was to elect to addressing the issue of human rights. the mass of mankind has not been going the settles on their backs, nor a favorite feud. boucher didn't stood ready to ride to jefferson died shortening off to what's on july. the 4th independence day. he left behind a tremendous political legacy as well as the sizable amount of debt is facing virginia, together with his slaves had to be sold for most useful surviving children with sally hemmings, however, she had negotiation for the children to be freed. upon reaching the age of 21, all his dis, they were settled for the moment with a lift was free citizens, the ultimately, thomas jefferson too, was just another person full of contradictions. westlake where he was at odds with his ideas. it was the foundation of us economic model, but his ideas still pose

a challenge, not least to the privilege of our world. and what kind of a world would it be if all of us really were born equal and endowed with inalienable rights. one without borders where people could travel to where they want a world without hunger. because every human being has the opportunity and right to have a fulfilling life. one with the colonial crimes and environmental destruction. for this kind of world, we don't need a new enlightenment. we just have to put its ideas into practice the,
