-- galileo called that person simple my joe which was lamed after a great supporter of gray, of aristotles theories but also has somewhat of a connotation of a simpleton. ... said he holds the opinion. the earlier there is an injunction against it. which in the strict version it did not allow either to hold nor defend nor teach in any way. he, haddock has possession of the old letter from the chief cardinal at the time, which was a somewhat softer version that basically said he could not hold the position but did not say he couldn't teach it or talk about it. he thought he was okay. but that did not fly very well and he was put on trial. i want to emphasize now a few points that he had in his discussion with the inquisition. very often, when people talk about the galileo affair, they presented as if this was a clash between science and religion. it absolutely was, and galileo never saw it as such. he was himself a religious person. the clash was between the science he was presenting and literal interpretations of the bible. his point was that one shouldn't interpret the bible literally bec

aristotle, leisured aristocrats and the professional classes had held labor, especially manual labor and the making of money in contempt. even someone who ran a business, say, a printing business with 20 employees was nonetheless considered to be involved with manual labor and thus contemptible. such men who worked for a living, aristotle said, could never, could never possess could never exercise political leadership. came tonothing, nothing separate the north and the south more than their contrasting of labor. the south, dominated as it was leisured slave-holding planters, could scarcely conceive of labor as anything but despicable and shameful. slavery, as it had for centuries, going all the way back to the ancient greeks, required a culture that held in contempt, scorned for holding of slaves with two sides of the same coin. developed very differently. in the several decades following middling menn, the of the north, using the egalitarian rhetoric of the launched a wholesale campaign against aristocrats who them for ages. they urged each other to shed and rousetical apathy agains

once upon a time as a graduate student there were questions about leadership in those days like aristotle and where his ambition comes from and talk about boys and girls and what's going on in the world so i decided what if i look at these guys i did call them my guys it may seem disrespectful but what if i take them and get them through the lens of leadership? it became a great project it was five years not as short as i thought because i didn't know is as much about them as i thought i should i loved every minute of it. >> the only one of these presidents you actually knew what is lyndon johnson and before we get into the book relate how you came to know lyndon johnson and how you almost lost your job. >> i was chosen the fellowship program there was a big dance but he whispered he wanted me to be in the white house so in the months leading up a lot of the graduates that go to harvard with the anti- vietnam war movement so i wrote an article against lbj it came out two days after the dance at the white house and how to remove lyndon johnson from power.

if you've done something for six days or 60 days in aristotle talks about habits are virtues in your more sophisticated than im so we know the longer you ingrain something the harder it is to break but the key thing to understand is if you want to be a better leader and more unified because you want to be more persuasive if anybody's paying politician today were not getting any place because were in a lockdown of a standoff some side wants to when they will have to be more persuasive treating people with contempt won't do it because nobody has ever been insulted into agreement that you have to do something different you can't break on - - you can break the habits but not doing that and behaving differently will make you a better leader and happier and ultimately more successful you can do it it will be harder but you can do it. >> you mention in the book things that you pray about and you think god for the brain that will confuse your children at the dinner table why do you do that? >> oxytocin is a hormone it is a neurotransmitter called the love molecule it's interesting in 1969 ri

galileo had been to Ãbwhich was actually named after a great supporter of galileo of aristotle's theoriesso somewhat of a connotation of a simple time. in this book galileo, anybody who read the book immediately saw that galileo was strongly supported the copernican model of the solar system and was basically ridiculing the opinions of Ãbwho was defending the aristotelian abuse. galileo knew that, and his friends told him that you wouldn't get permission to publish the book. to publish a book you had to get permission from the catholic church so for the book to be accepted he added the preface in the conclusion section which seemed to say that, yes, whatever is said in the book actually things are inconclusive. you cannot determine whether the copernican or dearest terry and version are correct. unfortunately, this preface and conclusion really looked to anybody who read the book as an afterthought. in effect special commission that was appointed to say whether galileo defended copernican and then concluded that absolutely defended per copernican is him Ãbthere was considered heretical. i

he was quoting shakespeare, plato, aristotle. ♪ group numbered four and they - >> with the addition oft group numbered four and they quickly became inseparable. >> these are four extraordinarily different people who come together with a chemistry that bonds them into a solid unit. >> i think we nurtured each other and this was not available to a lot of people and i do not think it happens too often where four people think a lot alike about the same subjects. in fact, we got to the point where we could tell almost what each other was thinking. >> we began to share our classes together and dinner together. and then we would meet in the dormitories at night to have our discussions. >> it was during the dorm bull sessions the forefront first began to consider a public attack on the institution of segregation. >> first of all, we did not trust anybody over 18. we said they have had a lifetime , two lifetimes to do something and what they have done is screwed at up. >> these are guys who are very much aware of what is going on with racism and they know they need social change and what things

aristotle talks about how habits are virtues. we know the longer you ingrain something, the key thing to understand is the want to be a better leader if you want to be a more unifying leader because you want to be a more persuasive leader we are not getting anyplace because we are locked down at a standoff. obviously if someone wants to when they will have to be more persuasive. contempt won't do it because nobody in history has never been insulted into agreements with the wrong strategy if you want to win. it's very practical. you can be the master of yourself and break these habits. in so doing there's evidence of the book that not doing that behaving a different way will make you a better leader and happier and ultimately more successful. you can do it. after 60 years is going to be harder but you can do it. posted he mentioned in the books are things you pray more things you do as you thank god for oxytocin. it's going to confuse the children. why do you do then was that main? >> guest: oxytocin is a narrow transmitter often
