of morality. and do it in a different way. fight wars -- they are trying to invent as you say. >> different way. >> different ways of fighting warfare. >> two points along this line. this part is largely unanswerable. but my sense is, from reading, just in general, that for a thoughtful person of that era raised in a culture that was where religious ideas and practice are at the center of the culture and not at the periphery, that moral questions are dealt with in a different way. and if -- can i be more specific than that? i don't know. what i do know is that in order to engage with a subject in a moral way, you need to have a vocabulary of morality. you need to have a conceptual framework of how to think about a moral question. for generation who is were raised on the bible, and for whom going to church every week was a central part of what it meant to be alive, that kind of thinking is very available to you. and it's not available to people who aren't immersed in the church in the same way. and

in a moral way you need to have a vocabulary you need of morality. you need to have a conceptual framework of how to think about a moral question. for generations who were raised on the bible and for whom going to church every week was a central part of what it meant to be alive. you that kind of thinking is very available to you, and it's not available to people who aren't immersed in. the church in the same way and that's a huge difference between 1935 and 2020 or 2021 the other thing i would say, is that a second thing is that for a man of authority in 1940 or 35 or what? have you? the difference between what you said in private and what you said in public was perhaps much greater than it was today. i i'm in the middle of a project right now. about that talks among other things about tom bradley the mayor of los angeles first black maribel, los angeles. and he was born in 1917. it's a little bit younger than this cohort we're talking about but it is in his case. it's so striking. the things he said at home and the things he said in public bore no

these moral terms so long as the constitution enshrine slavery, which he knew to be a moral wrong. so up until the emancipation proclamation he was committed to the constitution under the rule of law principles that anna was talking about but that meant he was committed to a compromise that included a compromise with immorality and that put him in a contradictory situation. after emancipation he was now able to describe the constitution as fundamentally moral. so when he said that the concept that the that our country was not only conceived in liberty but dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. he could not have said that about the constitution until he broke the constitution because the constitution wasn't dedicated to their proposition because the constitution enshrined slavery once emancipation was established fact by lincoln, he could reconceptualize the country in these terms and this is where the new birth of freedom part comes in and i've talked to this about this with peter bogrove i think is in the audience who was one of the earlier readers of my book

a misfortune and and affliction but moral a collapse.e i mean, you know, really there's a kind of amazing moral decay happening at certain levels of america in which people don't get married anymore or stay married. they have children out of wedlock. and this is not a racial thing and one of the neat conceit of the book is that it treats only white america. so as to avoid all of the you know, the this stereotypical issues between the races this kind of moral decay has gone very far among the white working class leaving aside any other color or ethnicity and so it's it is for the kind of students that you see in a in a superior college like claremont mckenna, it's it's a little i the book is eye-opening because it brings home to them. the bubble to use one of charles murray's favorite terms in this book the bubble in which they have grown up and competed for all of their life to get to this point and will continue to compete in as they emerge as adults and and pursue their professions, but it is still a very small, you know coherent and m

jimmy carter was mentioned a moment ago for moral authority. he's not ranked very high but per se or john quincy adams. but both of them had some extraordinary dx presidency. carter winning the nobel prize and taking on disease and river blindness and organizing free and fair elections r. john quincy adams, an abolitionist out of the white house. i believe it was something like 16 years in congress . so they are huge figures as human beings, john quincy adams and carter but they, their performance isn't as high as some of these other presidents that we see. but the 25 year rule is a good one . i wish it could be 10 years and incidentally, with cuts in the national archives it's hard to even get into papers these days if you don't have enough staff and you have to wait in order to be able to resurrect those . but sometimes it's fun to just watch why is this one president moving upwards? grant who were even talking about. ron chernow wrote this biography of grant. bill clinton refuted in the new york timesbook review and everybody started reasses

even morality resigned and left the country, leaving the country empty. he wanted to generate chaos and the civil war. and after the vice president resigned and everybody else his party, my mother was brave enough and the next in line. and that's why she's being judged by new lawyers managed to postpone the trying, alleging the judgment of the former president should be in person and not virtually her trial has also raise concerns internationally on whether and yes and members of her administration are victims of political prosecution the trial has opened old wounds in bolivia and increases the polarization that has divided this and the nation for years. it is, i will, i just, peter hong kong is reporting another record number of corona, virus infections with more than 1300 new cases. the search is happening despite the city being under strict restrictions for climate has moon another day. another record number of daily cases here in hong kong with authorities worried about the number of silent trains of transmission in the city. now, beijing is stepping

that gives you bad moral instruction. it lowers your tastes. and that's why i begin this book with the line. what have we done to them? what have we done to them giving you an awful world? in so many ways materially awful with economic hardship a tough job market a lot of debt expensive health care expensive education and then a culture and an education. that didn't give you again good equipment to manage these difficulties. i mean, this is one thing everything you're saying about the the dire circumstances of everyday life is is true a lot of millennials. i mean where you guys want to live look at housing costs. they're in williamsburg or in brooklyn, you in in austin. housing isn't cheap in madison where where you said you're from and where i live for a few years as a kid or or or bolder or know the bay area all the more reason then that one needs the the moral instruction the wisdom the the transcendent consciousness to make these vicissitudes more bearable fine, we had a depression. think about 1930 depression. jim crow life was life was ve

he talked about the moral sentiments like the gratitude and reciprocity is part of that. the sense of fairness is part of empathy is part of its empathy and in german and futile that, that kind of mechanisms are part of it. and we see these processes in the chimpanzee. and so i think when human morality has done is absorbed some of these primary tendencies that we have and have and combine them is reasoning a logic. but that comes in later device model of moral resolution is even less like in the trash could all the outside layer. the newest consists of shame and reason and logic. insight lice the much older layer of empathy. the ability to recognize the emotions, thoughts, and motives of us. humans and apes are able to empathize with office within this species. ah, that a very old female. she had arthritis and she could not walk very well. and so sometimes what happens is if she would get up and go in the direction of the water faucet to collect water to drink. younger females would run ahead of her because they were much faster. and they would run ahead and suck up wate

through the bible you would get access to morality. lincoln could not interpret the history of the united states in the moral terms so long as the constitution inshrines slavery, so he was committed to the constitution up with a compromise with immorality. after emancipation, he was now able to describe the constitution of fundamentally moral. when he said that our country was not only conceived in liberty but dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal. once aemancipation was a established fact by lincoln, this is where the new birth of freedom part comes in. i talked about this with peter, and i think he's in the audience who was one of the earlier readers of my book. new birth is a very new phrase. i am not arguing that lincoln was making a consciously christian argument, but he was drawing upon the common breath of protestant moral thoughts, and the idea was just as the old testament, so the new birth of freedom would supersede the slavery present in the original constitution. he plays out this idea more fully in t

but that comes in later devoss model of moral resolution is in late, like in the trust good. all the outside layer, the newest consists of shame and reason and logic. insight lies the much older layer of empathy. the ability to recognize the emotions, thoughts, and motives of us. humans and apes are able to empathize with office within this species. ah, that a very old female. she had arthritis and she could not walk very well. and so sometimes what happens is if she would get up and go in the direction of the water faucet to collect water to drink. a younger female switch run ahead of her because they were much faster. and they would run ahead and suck up water. and then run back to her, penny was her name and and go to penny and penny would open her mouse and they would spit it into her mouth. and so she would not need to walk that whole distance, which was very difficult for her. if we accept the premise that empty isn't evolutionary development, we must ask ourselves one of the origins of empathy. ah, we think empathy started to miss maternal care and then expanded to oth

not just a geopolitical strategic terms, but indeed ethical moral terms 1st. and 2nd. yes, this is again a reflection of the failure after 1909 to have a stablished. what you suggest is an indivisible piece order. what are the west seems to have had, is a 30 year young just like great in a sense they had before cuba. and that you know, of unprecedented dominance. and why this is portrayed in such starkly cold war, many can black and white terms, is because this 30 year young is coming to an end suddenly come to the shock to understand that russia was no longer going to accept that you know, this endless expansion and they go back and use this policy strangely enough, is you know, gorbachev in policy, it's a yells in policy and put it. and his successor is to say that security is indivisible. that is the 2nd leg off that whole how think a paris charter is timble as down a declaration, all of these declarations. but the west has been focusing on one aspect that each country can choose, its own security alliances. whereas both most kind of course, beijing, because interes

there is a moral nature demankind that feeds economic activity and i believe that smith as as one of the great enlightenment philosophers. got this right at a time that the class of economic school had a chance to take off and so for us to now then take the advantage of what the class of economic school created for 200 years and characterize adam smith as gordon gecko is totally unfair. so i go straight to smith's own words to basically trying to embody the notion of moral sentiments that are self-interest when it becomes more enlightened morally leads to a better societal response of human flourishing. that's right. smith didn't write a book the story of gordon gecko and wall street greed and bad people who short he wrote a book called theory of moral sentiments. that's right, and and that's important to to look into and to help. i'm just going to go through a couple more names. okay, david found the names. it's this one's a hard one frederick bastia. it's a french name. okay. bastia. but he's an important one bus just speaks in your book and in his wonderful treatises about the thi

caught up in the germans translation, as a moral philosopher of a scottish school. so he was in touch with humanity. history, philosophy, with politics, viewed theoretically, and of course he was a generally cultivated man. he knew shakespeare and so forth. i'm not sure of his taste in music. he was, as later economist john maynard keynes said, you can't be a good economist if you are only an economist. which he meant is if all you think about is cost and benefits, then you have this kind of sociopath at the center of your theory, you're not going to do economics very intelligently. adam smith set this pattern, but it was such a temptation to make it easier. oh, i don't want to read those books on philosophy. oh, i don't want to study history. oh, i don't want to know shakespeare. i want to make it easy. make it easy. now it has become as easy as it can be, and this is true of both marxist economics. when i was a kid i was a marxist. and i was so thrown by marxism, because all you needed to know was that the history of all hitherto existence societies is the history

a train adversaries as not just geopolitical competitors, but rather as moral degenerates or even feel is ational interiors. i'll be back to the era of a mansion european affairs. well, to discuss it and now joined by a russian and european politics. the university of canada has a separate great, you see a great to talk to thank you very much for being available. my pleasure. in your recent article, you mentioned that the current ukrainian saga reminds you of the cuban missile crisis, which marks at 60th anniversary this year. and in both cases, genuine concerns were mixed up with postering and advice escalation. and i see the relevance of this comparison when it comes to russia strategic interest. but when it comes to the west or the united states, in particular, it isn't just as, as this sensually significant as it was back in 1962 with the placement possible placement of the soviet missiles in cuba. the cuban missile crisis is being repeated in a sort of slow motion behavior. and the larger context is important and i'll come back to the cuban issue. and the larger one is that i argu

let urs turn slavery from its claims of moral rights back upon its legal rights and it's arguments of necessity. let us return it to the position our fathers gave it and there on alert, let it rest in peace. >> lincoln called upon americans to readopt the declaration of independence. in so doing he this would not only have saved the union, but in his words so saved it as to make and to keep it forever worthy of the saving. that was october of 1854. a country worthy of the saving needed to be a country that limited the spread of slavery as the first step to its eventual abolition. in short, douglas' don't care policy was not worthy of lincoln's generation of americans because it betrayed the intensions of the fathers of the republic. after lincoln's election in the fall of 1860 he received a letter from none other than alexander stevens who, of course, became the vice president of the confederacy. stevens wanted lincoln to speak to the nation before his inauguration on march 4, 1861, in his words, to save our common country. quoting proverbs 25, stevens suggested to lincoln that a word

they have a moral obligation to reduce climate, they said quote, it's a religious thing. it. it is hypocrisy that breeds contempt and resentment. it certainly isn't leadership. you're supposed to lead by example and the way that she has defined morality, insisting everyone across the country recalibrate our moral compass to hers is a standard she is not will to be live up to herself. unfortunately with regard to the policies that come with this push, it ends up making us less secure, related to our nation physical security, our economic security. quite frankly a lot of policies are not even as environmentally friendly as they push in the rhetoric. when you cancel keystone xl pipeline, you fast track nord stream 2, and then we're having a conversation about what is happening on the russia ukraine border, this is more than just talking about energy policy. it is also with regards to the security of the united states and our allies. elizabeth: but the white house says this is climate change hits geopolitical strategy. do we get total cost, carbon footprint for the climate ju

so yes, morale, it's difficult to gauge a training we know is more substantial. what we also know, as i say, a lot of power militia groups in this city. and as i say that sir, very large explosion is seemingly a couple of kilometers, may be further away. charlie newman has got a final thought to you before you go. and president putin said earlier that the operation in don bass is meant to protect civilians in those separatist areas are of landscape and donnie. it's coming. you've been in, in the dumbass region for many months, years covering the lead up to all of this to people believe him. no. it's as simple as that down. they really don't. we know that in the last, in the last 2 or 3 or 4 years, at least hundreds of thousands of russian passports have been issued to ukrainians in those separatist controlled areas. and it's, you know, we've had words like genocide being used by putin, a cultural genocide accusing the ukrainians of not protecting russians in that area . now, you know, up until a couple of years ago they weren't russians, they, they're, they're uk

there is a moral nature to mankind that feeds economic activity. i believe that smith as one of the great enlightenment floss first got this right at thea time that the economic school had a chance to take off. for us to take advantage of what that school created for 200 years and characterize adam smith as gordon gecko is totally unfair. so i go strayed to smith's own words to basically try to embody the notion of moral sentiments that our self interest when it becomes enlightened morally leads to a better societal response of human flourishing. >> the story of gordon greco and wall street agreed and short wrote a book called theory a model sentiments. >> that's right. >> i am going to go through a couple more names. david found the name, you thought this one is a hard one. frederic pastier. he speaks in your book, in his wonderful treatises about the things ones sees and that which one doesn't see. what must be foreseen. tell us about -- tell us the story of pastier's broken window fallacy. >> i was a very, very young person who did not have an e
