one of the things, again going back to the university of chicago, i spent a lot of time reading the literatureof the totalitarian era and finding myself in awe at the courage of people who were prepared to speak and write against a regime that genuinely could do terrible things to you, send you two men stood to test mental gulags.ions, to think today of alexey navalny and that kind of courage. i moved jobs, but it did not take a lot of courage for me to say that this guy is totally unacceptable as president and i am going to keep saying it, even if i lose a few lunch dates in the process. i don't know -- i wish i could understand why it was so difficult for so many of my former fellow travelers and friends and comrades on the same, in mye to the view, utterly obvious judgment. i think it comes down to this notion that liberals or progressives are the enemy. maybe because i am married to someone who is well to the left guess,so i am, i sleeping with the enemy, if you will. americansto see other who just happen to have a different point of view as my enemy. i might think they are stupid, wrong,

our way of organizing them a lot to memory and 20 anticipation that we read the rule of happening of the universe as a single sequence of things happening that's a mistake but there's no. there's no. you see when i say the sun doesn't move. right so we learned at school i mean the more. we see the sun going up and down up and down every day and then we are kids who go to school and the teacher or father or mother tell us you know it's an illusion the sun doesn't move but this does not mean that the some in the sky blocks is not going to move if you keep going around is this is not the sign is going to move is just more complicated story. i wanted to also use the example of music if i may it's a thing that doesn't really exist but only does because it is happening in time right instruments play together and their rhythm or a pulse that brings time alive and we only feel something when music changes in time and non-changing becomes a drone and stops having meaning like you know my refrigerator making a noise so if an elementary physics lab will time doesn't matter or doesn't exist why does it matte
