maybe kindling wood but it has no practical value as a source of information it's a plagiarizing aristotle from 2700 years ago for one thing and it's just a lot of verbiage i mean if you it's a lot of words it's a word salad meaning nothing well you know who do does get celebrated by the market by market commentators by the likes to see n.b.c. is jack welch now jack welch of course ran general electric from 1901 to 2001 the stock price increased by 4000 percent under him but it was a one time trick everybody is now trying to copy him of course what he did is just hollow out general electric general electric used to being an amazing american corporation that built this country turned us into an industrial powerhouse amazing engineering well he came up with a clever idea of getting rid of all the expertise getting rid of technology getting rid of manufacturing getting rid of all the stuff that germany now controls essentially and just turning the brand in the value of the company turning it into a derivative essentially hollowing out the company turning into a financial organization instrume

well the same dilemma they had opposite solutions aristotle proposed what we would nowadays call a welfare state to try to reduce inequality. so the same problem that solutions one is reduce inequality will have this problem and the other is reduced democracy. if you look at the history of the united states it's a constant struggle between these 2 tendencies democratizing tendencies that's mostly coming from the population pressure from below and you get these constant battle going on periods or aggression periods of progress in 1906 for example were a period of significant democratization. sectors of the folk elation that were usually passive apis it became organized active story pressing their demand. and they became more and more involved in decision making activism and so on. they just changed consciousness in ways. minority rights. really don't want to. to see me finally we have women's rights. if we force it to. in terms of the damage you think day in american history is a day set aside nice and quiet boring of mankind seeking that's all survival opposition to aggression through to t

aristotle: not at all.have -- like, we were excited about that. you came in here with this opportunity to be a part of a team, and it never really felt like you wanted to be a part of the entire team. parker: before, this was just taylor and i sitting around, you know? it's different to work with more than just taylor. lemonis: sometimes people don't do well on teams. travis: i'd rather not fight with these guys every day. lemonis: i think the reality of it is that you guys have expectations that this group isn't going to be able to meet, not today, not tomorrow, not next year. brad: i just don't think these guys are gonna be happy ever with the way things are structured and working on other brands that aren't making money right away. lemonis: want them in the deal or not, brad? brad: i just don't think they can be in the deal. lemonis: juli, yes or no? juli: no. lemonis: travis? travis: i don't think it's possible. taylor: i'm sorry you feel that way. lemonis: i don't see how things move forward. i don't k

systems aristotle's politics. he says of all of them the best is democracy and at any point said exactly the flaws that manderson pointed out. if absent were a democracy for free men the poor would get together and take away the property the rich. well same dilemma they had opposite solutions or settle for posed what we would nowadays call a welfare state to try to reduce inequality. so the same problem absent solutions one is reduce inequality will have this problem and the other is reduced democracy. if you look at the history of the united states it's a constant struggle between these 2 tendencies democratising tendency that's mostly coming from the population pressure from below and you get these constant battle going on periods or aggression periods of progress in 1906 for example were a period of significant democratization. sectors of the feel asia that were usually passive avocet it became organized active story pressing their demand. and they became more and more involved in decision making and activism a

and i would see plato, aristotle, socrates, euripides, and aristophanes assembled around the parthenon. and i would watch them around the parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality. but i wouldn't stop there. i would go on even to the great heyday of the roman empire, and i would see developments around there through various emperors and leaders. but i wouldn't stop there. i would even come up to the day of the renaissance and get a quick picture of all that the renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man. but i wouldn't stop there. i would even go by the way that the man for whom i'm named had his habitat, and i would watch martin luther as he tacks his 95 theses on the door at the church of wittenberg. but i wouldn't stop there. i would come on up even to 18683 and watch a vacillating president by the name of abraham lincoln finally come to the conclusion that he had to signn the emancipapation proclamatio. but i i wouldn't stop there. i would even c come up to thehe early '30's and see a man grappling with the problems of the bankruptcy of his

aristotle reminds us that tragedy is a story of intense emotion between feelings of pity and fear whichresults in emotional unburdening. that's always the mode for telling stories about native people. people can then get into our history as a kind of liberal community service. we took all of his land. read a book about it. i've done my part. kind of. i don't want the status quo. i'm going to change that. so this tragic mode is the one in which we are stuck and have been stuck for so long. after my grandfather's death with this idea of surplus, i was able to write the book my publisher wanted and it worked out. that led me into writing nonfiction. that's my first book of nonfiction. i thought or probably thought there was problems with the way people saw reservations but there's also problems with the way we see the past. we see american indian history as a sideshow to american history. we see american indian people as being in america but not of it. we see native community as suffering and native people as victims of history and not the makers of it. i was thinking about all of that and

high representative, colleagues, as aristotle recognized, we can be blamed only for what is up to us. but what exactly is up to us? the unfolding situation in iran invites us to reflect on this puzzle. once again, ukraine finds itself the tragic recipient of collateral damage that was hardly foreseeable. but how enthusiastically should we side with the citizens of iran, challenging their regime and its military and holding them responsible for targeting a passenger plane? for sure, human ever might seem like a partial excuse, but equally, human error could and should have been foreseen and precautions taken. on the other hand, some actions are neither accidental nor excusable. where aggression precedes self-defense can we should not hesitate to apportion blame, especially if the perpetrator was once our ally. the operation for de-escalating the crisis must fall to the aggressor and not just those tempted to retaliate. thank you. >> thank you. now for one minute. >> thank you. i've no special sympathy for the iranian regime toppled in 2003 or the one now, but the west carries a special

i mean, you could say aristotle was doing ai. he just did have a computer or any electricity to do ai with, but he was thinking about the mechanical process of human thought, decision-making, planning and so on. and even described, so on the front of my textbook actually have a little greek text which describes a simple planning algorithm that he talks about. this is how you can reach a decision about what to do. the idea has been there, and steps have been taken, including the development of logic, which again started in ancient greece in ancient india, and revived itself in the mid-19th century. logic is overlooked these days either deep learning community, but it is a mathematics of things, right? and the world has things in it. so if you want to have systems that are intelligent in a world that contains things, you have to have a mathematics that incorporates things as sort of first-class citizens and logic in that mathematics. so whatever shape a super intelligent system eventually takes, it's going to incorporate in some fo

our world so that lead to the more perfect world that it is a shadow world of imperfections and aristotleought you can't only describe our world but the christian world agreed very nice but it is fallen and corrupt certainly not can be described by geometry. it gets a lot of praise it is amazing, truth it pleases god but it's also irrelevant because our world is nothing like that. so that lasted 1700 years from this breakthrough until here is a simple mathematical proof but until 1400 and pretty much the year 1413. as it happens y the year a man in florence conducting experiments on linear perspective and then he and his friends they established and popularized a theory of linear perspective it is a theory of how you draw things and paint three dimensions on a flat surface basically there is a vanishing point. so anyway there is a vanishing point that is on the horizon. essentially it's a perspective exercise because you can see that it's doing what it wants. [laughter] would like to get back but anyway. maybe the battery is weak go forward? thank you. so this whole image is an exercise o
