and then because i had studied communism, that was my field of study at columbia university, i learned russia, i went to communist countries regularly. and they of course were the genocidal -- except for the nazis, they were the genocides of the 20th century. 100 million civilians. and then i realized they were all done by big government. all of them. you cannot have horrors without big government. the only exception would be the massacre in rwanda. everything else necessitated big government. so that was a conversion. but the first one was when i was in high school and i heard someone or i read someone who said or wrote poverty causes crime. which is a basic left-wing belief. and then i thought of my grandparents on my father's side who were extremely. and i thought it is inconceivable to me that my grandfather would rape or mug or steal, let alone murder. i thought there is no truth to that. poverty does not cause crime. that values cause crime. lack of self-control causes crime. lack of self-control causes crime. a defective conscious -- defective conscious causes crime. that was th

i read their narrative at columbia university library. what i kept coming back to was the story and what i started to do was to dig a little bit, and i love to dig. and what i found excuse me. what i found was i started looking what other people had researched before and kind of, i guess i've described this as like knocking on a wall of something, but really the original feeling i had was like pressing, like excavating something. and then it's like in a movie where you push and then like, something starts to open up. and i realized that with this, these leads that i was finding about these in their world, i had fallen into an alice in wonderland like space, a whole another space. and i thought this was a room. and that room became house. and that house became a world. and then once was immersed in that, that's when i decided that this is this is a place where i need to start dispatching reports and start tell the story. so the archive yielded so much. sometimes it's like a magical feeling when you're in there, when it feels like papers ar

the meaning of age and other circumstances, the modern watershed era, talk to jeffrey sachs columbia universityor, he is one of the world's most famous global development professor. the saxon world is going through a series of upheavals, as far as you think they are getting worse. here is a misunderstanding between young and older, at least. we in the united states need a generational change. i don't like an octogenarian president. this is bad. hope joe biden doesn't run for re-election. until recently we had speaker of the house, representatives and leader of the senate, the majority also for 80 of his time, the americans. they loved to mock brezhnev and his comrades. well, here, i look at the current leadership of our country. these are old people, old people, have not heard anything about climate change, and when they went to school and little is said about the environmental reality, which for young people goes without saying, they certainly do. he does not know how to use a computer and a mobile phone, as young people are doing now. the digital world is not close to a five or ten-year-old c

and karin jumper even graduated from columbia university. blunders would seem to be allowed. it would seem that they should not, especially since it is very expensive to study at a columbian university and it is in the ranking. it does not belong to one of the best universities in the united states , although it is on the list of the worst in terms of openness and freedom of speech. interestingly, at columbia university, students have the right to choose, and certain classes, a and receive so -called loans. that is, when each difficult or less difficult lesson in a semester gives you a certain number of points that you need to collect, so we looked, what courses are offered to choose from, i will mark at a modern colombian university, so, for example, one of them is a zombie, and in popular culture you can study or another version of the simpsons as satirical authors. there they will fully consider the universe of the simpsons, or this is my favorite sex death and the unconscious freud and his legacy in the art of the 20th century. no, that's

and luckily, when i came here, i was admitted to columbia university in new york city. i was thinking, i'm getting i'm going to get the best education. why this is best education is, i've believe. i remember the first day and my university's orientation and my professor soon asked us stay angry, stay outraged, because america is inherently evil system and. all the evil is happening in the world is because of greedy capitalism and, because of way. i was like, did i somehow go back to north korea? literally this is the exact same thing that i was in north korean classroom. my schoolteachers taught me that all the problems that we had in the world and the only solution for all the problems was a communist revolution. i was my at columbia university repeating exact same thing to me. so let's talk about how utopia socialist paradise looked like. and i often tell people i was born the darkest place in world and if you actually see the satellite of north korea nighttime, it is really the darkest place because. they don't have electricity. i have so many climate change activist
