the greatest and most enduring monument to the intellectual culture of the scottish enlightenment. if you know something about the astonishing production of human knowledge it in a whole range come indeed virtually every area of human learning that when i drink the scottish enlightenment, to locate that book as a great achievement, that's quite an important and strong statement. but i would like to say about that, phillipson's book show it is not unfair to say that the story of the scottish enlightenment actually parallels and reflects the story of adam smith himself. indeed, the story of the scottish enlightenment is a deep and profound sense of the story of adam smith. now, given how profoundly our own world has in turn been shaped by the ideas that came out of the scottish enlightenment, i think we can say that smith's story is the story also of us. so to understand adam smith is to understand ourselves. phillipson's book provides a deep and thorough picture of a complex life of adam smith and his integration into this astonishing period of learning that we know in the scottish

. >> the art of the enlightenment. the national museum of china in beijing. the central values of freedom and tolerance on display in the capital of a very different type of regime. the museum is located in tiananmen square, the brutal crushing of the democracy site years before. it is a supporter about human rights. ai weiwei, it puts berlin in a difficult situation. >> it is one of our huge dilemmas. we stage an exhibition on the indictment, which meanin the end, we want to talk about freedom, and then in the end, an artist loses his freedom. we have to ask why they have not put so much diplomatic pressure on china that this kind of thing would be impossible. >> if the government is unwilling to close this prestigious exhibition in beijing. but other options are open. there is even talk of including ai weiwei's work among the exhibits. >> it would be possible to make a stand with this exhibition. also, in respect to what has happened with ai weiwei, so i am in favor of keeping it going, and i am in favor of thinking of provocations like this said that in th

well hopefully today we can enlighten folks. that's right. and, and encourage them. carlos, i think you were going to say something. i, i think we've done a great job of, of identifying and quantifying the scientific and the clinical aspects of it. i think and so we have slogans that we back it up with like treatment works, recovery happens, or treatment is effective. but my concern or my issue is, how does that message resonate within non- traditional groups, if you will? the community person that has a treatment program as a neighbor, what, what kind of message do we convey to them beyond what they see? and so i think it's real important that, and, and i think bill white talks about this, that the greatest stigma reducer is when you begin to promote these relationships, their interactions between communities and people in recovery or the interaction between treatment programs and the neighborhoods where they're located. and i think it's really, really important. and lureen i want to go into the, the treatment system itself. are there opportunities for the treatment

enlightening outlook. now, we are going to invite our mayor to the stage and also our managing editor, jim gardner, who is going to moderate a conversation with the mayor. first, we will hear from each of them. they will tell us about their priorities and their outlook and vision for the city, and jim has prepared a number of questions. after that, we will also ask if any of you would like to send up some questions for gin to ask the mayor. there are some little index cards at your table. throughout the presentation, you can write your question down, just hold your hand up high, and we will circulate through and grab those. just make sure we can see you, and we will bring them up to jim. something about jim, one thing to know is that he writes the editorials that appear every week in our newspaper. we get a lot of kudos for his work on that, so pretty proud of him at that level. there's a lot of things on the business side, but that is the one you can count on him for every single week. since san francisco

if we were a more enlightened government -- when we talk about public safety budgets, there should begned for the public safety board for what community boards does. the service they provide is considered an afterthought. that's a mistake. considering how effective they have been through many pockets of san francisco, especially communities where there is chronic distress by crime and other conflicts, instead of it being police-driven, community boards is found to be more effective. it would be nice to consider the san francisco local government would not to apply their services in a way that could be budgeted. [applause] president chiu: why don't we go to general public comment? >> at the next item on the agenda is opportunity for the community to address the board including items without on the calendar and items that have not been considered by a board community. citizens using translation would be allowed twice the amount of time. if members of the public would like to have items displayed on the overhead projector, please say so and remove the items after the meeting. >> [speakin

this was the age of enlightenment, and our revolution culminated the age of enlightenment in which these philosophers and authors and thinkers in the western world were debating the rights, what they call the natural rights of the individual were all men born with equal rights as opposed to the divine rights of kings so these were very, very complicated issues and to convince all of this into a history book this big that an adolescent has to get through in 26 weeks or whatever length of the school year is it's impossible. it's impossible. so the author of american history and the especially the text that most americans grew up studying have to condense it and make it really simplistic. yes, sir? >> another project, have you started another project you can relate to now when you're writing your next book, sir? >> bring on these other books. [laughter] my next book will have very smart readership. he was also a brilliant inventor and a brilliant thinker, brilliant spy and a great libertarian and he organized, he convinced the french king that by surreptitiously supporting the american revo

the society's primary mission is to enlighten, to inform, to inspire and to empower.ety of ways. almost always in partnership with others. through our current partnership that trevor spoke to with the finance -- kinsey foundation shall the san francisco public library, and the california council of the humanities, we are now hosting an incredible exhibition of art and artifacts from the kinsey collection, the kron -- that chronicles the story of people of frick desnent america. if you haven't done so you owe it to yourself and particularly to your children to visit and see this important exhibit which is at our library in the frake american -- african-american art and culture complex at 762 bolton street. the posters you see here are examples of elements in that exhibit. these are actual objects that are part of the kinsey collection that are on display in our exhibit. bernard i'm sure will touch on the collection during his remarks. our speaker, bernard kinsey, is one half of team kinsey. the other half is his lovely wife shirley, so please join me in welcoming shirl

[laughter] there's a whole foods market, one of the enlightened grocery stores where all the cashiers look like they're on loan from amnesty international. we buy their seaweed-based snacks with kale for kids who come home and say, mom, mom, i want a snack that'll help prevent colorectal cancer. [laughter] and so, you know, i think, though, this is sort of the world we're sort of trapped in. but we realize that that's actually not all there is, and there's more. to life. and more that we should be experiencing. and so i was thinking about this problem and gradually i became aware of this other atmosphere of life where -- sphere of life where they were looking into some of the deeper things. and oddly, it wasn't three low jans, it wasn't really philosophers but people who study the human mind. we're in this incredibly exciting period in the study of the mind, and it's being done across a wide range of atmospheres, cognitive science, psychology, behavioral economics. people are looking into the human mind, and really it's a revolution in consciousness if you want to put t it that way be

. >> the quran is an enlightening book. it's not, you know, we can have a debate about the shi'a but you cannot have a conversation about the koran. it's like the bible. they are quite enlightened. many of them are liberal. many of them believe in a civil government, not in a religious government. of them are against this current regime in iran clearly and do not want a regime like that. of them joined my opinion that we like the regime in turkey, for example, which is a secular country but still muslim. we're still saying okay it's not about the religion it's about egypt. >> charlie: has the military lost its trust with the people in the square. >> the people, most of the people still have the biggest trust in the military. income the military's being accused now that they're siding with the muslim brotherhood, that they are siding with that and that but i personally believe in the end they will be very happiy there's a balance parliament in the end, you know. i'm not so convinced they want an extreme parliament. there is

rich area and we actually have a rich scientific community and state agencies that are pretty enlightening. this here meeting ain't happening in nebraska, guys. any way, california has the opportunity to really be a leader in a lot of different ways. do we have anybody from nebraska here? the magnitude of the impacts of climate change going back to the different emission change, get much worst if the global greenhouse loading takes this higher rather than lower route. and the greenhouse loading in the atmosphere, which i should have said earlier is a big problem not only because of it's physics, but because of it's longevity. co 2 has a lifetime of more than a hundred years some what we do is compound in the atmosphere and that's why the analogy was this big barge. we can't change it rapidly. it does not rain out. this thing is there for generations. next one. it's already happening. there's no doubt in the climate communities mind. the precipitation of course, is an enormous issue for you guys but i don't think your ever going to see with a big degree of confidence a projection you can be

this was the age of enlightenment, and our revolution culminated the age of enlightenment in which these philosophers and authors and thinkers in the western world were debating the rights of the individual, what they call the natural rights of the individual. were all men born with equal rights? as opposed to the divine rights of kings. so these were very, very complicated issues. and to condense all of this thought into a history book this thick that an adolescent has to get through in 26 weeks or whatever the length of the school year is, it's impossible. it's impossible. so the authors of american history and especially the texts that most americans grow up studying have to condense it and make it really simplistic. yes, sir. >> have you started another project that you could -- have you started another project that you can relate to us now what you're writing, your next book, sir? >> yeah. bring on these other books. [laughter] my next book, actually, my next book is going to have a very, very small readership. it's about the french playright who was also a brilliant inventer, brill

and enlightening, even, in terms of how we put afghanistan and the prospects for putting afghanistan through a negotiated settlement on to a long and steady course of peace and stability. so with that, larry, i will invite larry who will be moderating the interpanel discussion, and we'll be back to moderate your discussion with the members of the panel. larry. >> thank you, jeff. let me join everybody and welcome you here to the center for american progress and, also, thank the century foundation not only for producing this report, but for asking me to be on the, on the task force. i've got to tell you it was one of the more enlightening experiences i've ever had, particularly traveling to to afghanistan with people from many other countries in the region. our panel today consists of three very distinguished people. first, ambassador vendrel, former e.u. special representative for afghanistan and, also, was the personal representative of the u.n. secretary-general to afghanistan. the ambassador, basically, was in iraq from 2000 until -- [laughter] the ambassador was there from 2000 t

they are advancing veryly get mate enlightened public policy. what you may see as an imped meant is really a regulation put there to protect environmental resources. some people commented on my remarks yesterday that i talked entirely about the economy and nothing about the environment eventhough we're seen as an environmental agency. it seems to me just as this conference opened dialogue for water and environment, i think we should find our worst enemy and going and sitting down and seeing the common ground we have and then putting together a coalition of allies not normally working together and then going to the legislature to ask for oversight hearings to the laws that protect san francisco bay all the way to the laws that deal with water and air quality and so forth and looking for a systemic approach. the reason i suggest that, i found the last election did a fabulous job of making the san francisco fund to read. or fun to read. i would go to page two and see what goofy thing congress had done. so i think we have an opportunity here to work

lastly, it has been enlightening to see the report from the department of public health especially, the trauma center as well. all of the data and interagency cooperation will help us toward making san francisco a safe place to walk. supervisor avalos: thank you. i appreciate your bringing this hearing forward. it has been very informative. i appreciate the time that has been taken to look at the report from the pedestrian safety advisory committee, coordination with dph, mta. this is just one hearing related to the psac report. if we could hear in a couple of months what has been done in the furtherance of pedestrian safety, if we could work on that, if supervisor elsbernd is interested, we could work and that together. ok. continue to the call of the chair, without objection. thank you, everyone, for your comments and participation in this hearing. we have two other items. madam clerk, please call item eight. >> item 8. hearing on the controller's december 2010 government barometer issued on february 3, 2011, for an overview of the report and a summary of highlights and recent trends

it is enlightening to see this breakdown, but also the terrific work that's being done by your unit. just a question. i see there are no homicides in the richmond area. is there any speculation in terms of, you know, what distinguishes it, the richmond? maybe it is geography, maybe it is the community or the department or the community interaction or whatever? >> i think it is probably all of the above, commissioner. the richmond is probably a quieter part of the city. i don't have an officer as to why we have zero and zero. i'm happy about it. >> commander lazar? >> i wanted to touch on this, the work that the homicide investigators do. the lieutenant's work is amazing. she is the chief's pick, she was my pick. we couldn't think of anyone better to run the unit. i would be remisin not providing that to the sperkses. thank you. president mazzucco: thank you. we all appreciate the work that you have done. so moving onto the next item on the chief's report. is that it for the chief's report? >> no. commappeder lazar will discuss some of the issues. i will discussion stolen item issues.

faculties, but this research confirms some of the british were scottish enlightenment. reason is weak and sentiment is quite strong. and it gives us a different view of who we are, and a different view of human capitol, what it takes to lead a fulfilling life. when we talk a lot human capitol, we often talk about things that we can masher, great, degrees, s.a.t. scores might use. there are other qualities which are more important which are both emotional and irrational. so one of these talents is this thing called mine site, the ability to enter other minds and learn and download what those mines have to teach you. babies come equipped to a great to see -- degree. he leaned over a baby who was 43 minutes old, liked his time, and she'd like to turn back. babies, even at a phenomenal the early age are built to merge with mines the come into contact with and absorb models. by 18 months 55 percent of american babies have established a 2-relationship with -- to wayde relationship with mom. they know how to build a relationship. those kids have a huge leg up. researchers can

for those concerned with daily survival, i think there is a variety of ways -- it is enlightened selfst. globally, healthy societies are better able to economically empower themselves. there is real connection in the growth of gdp with the health status of a population and come in particular, the ability girls and women to access education, income generation, technology with connecting poor communities with technology. there are connections to increase in that nation's productivity. those stable societies are what, as a global community, we're looking for. i think all of the money that we spend militarily, for example, some of it can be diverted to the soft diplo aims probably faster. bare minimum, the soft diplomacy should be a fully integrated and complementary approach. my godmother is a neat woman and she had a pig for a pet. she is a pacific heights, a fancy community in san francisco. i think people thought it was reareweird. she said it was my pay. it has become my representation of how we each have our little precious thing. what i encourage people to do is find their paig. fo
