it also praises kim jong-un as an outstanding philosophical theorist who wins 100 victories in 100 battles in leading the country's revolution and construction. it says the young kim has made the north into an invincible global military power. the article adds that his philosophy embodies his father's ideas and will, and that he stands at the forefront of the socialist revolution. this is the first time that north korea state media has directly given tribute to kim jong-un. kim jong-il's body will lay in state at kumsusan memorial palace on tuesday. visitors can visit until december 27th. for more insight nhk spoke with former japanese deputy foreign minister tanaka. he was involved in negotiations with north korea for many years. tanaka met kim jong-il during

raising taxes and raising revenues and fees, and for me, the tax exemption is something i do not philosophically supports. yet, i often represent part of san francisco that has been neglected for decades, and that is the midmarket corridor. we have over 3 million square feet of commercial real estate. a lot of it has been vacant for decades. the building twitter is going to be using, it has been vacant since 1968. we have to start looking at what tools do we have to revitalize the area, and what i like about this legislation is we are not just giving a tax break to come in. you have to create jobs. you pay your payroll tax base, but if you move to midmarket and create jobs, we will not tax you on those jobs for six years. for the next six years, you are a community partner with us, partnering with us to revitalize neighborhood and then, if you are successful in six years, hopefully and the midmarket become successful, you come back into the tax system. i do not have an interest in expanding it. it was not about corporate welfare to companies. that was not the purpose. the purpose was to help rev

well i don't know what consciousness is and it's a very difficult philosophical question i don't think it's probably going to be helpful to talk about the universe as a whole being conscious i know that some rather mystical philosophers have suggested something like that i think that whatever consciousness is it's manifested by brains it's something to do with brains all the functional equivalent of brains i mean i wouldn't rule out that one day somebody might build an electronic computer which was programmed in such a way that that it was conscious that seems to me to be actually quite likely. but it comes from very very complex organization such as the brain which is an extremely complicated organization of billions of of neurons and if anybody makes a computer that's conscious that again will be extremely complicated with many many many. units electronic units if you think you know. i don't think it's helpful to think that consciousness resides in the universe as a whole i think consciousness is something that emerges by the evolutionary process in the universe wherever in the unive

he creates this philosophical fiction of the state of nature--how do we get out of it--and so on. and a lot of it--a lot of our notions of the--what holds us together, property and mutual respect for one another's right to exist, and also our notion of rights that--very important for jefferson and the other founding fathers that, you know, locke provided a kind of de facto justification for revolution. it was at the time of the glorious revolution in england that he wrote this. c-span: you say, actually, that he was--locke was thomas jefferson's master. >> guest: yes. people have debated this. some people feel that that's not true. but i think that's the general consensual notion that jefferson took a lot in the declaration of independence from locke. and you know, i would--i would try to use these people as well as learn from them, but also try to understand my own experience. and with locke and hobbes, who worried how we get from a state of nature and--to a civilization and what could propel us backwards, i thought about something that happened to me, which is being mugged on th

he became a philosopher because of his dog. (sadly): another beautiful day. why doesn't it make me happy? martha: he lived with a dog named bonesthenes. they got along all right, but socrates was always getting upset over small things. hey, socrates! lovely morning, isn't? uh-uh, wipe your paws. why? because if you don't, you'll get mud in the house. is that bad? yes. why? because i like to keep the house clean. why? because a clean house is nicer to live in than a dirty house! why? why do you ask so many infuriating questions?! i don't know. why do you think i ask so many infuriating questions? (screaming) martha: really bonesthenes just did it to tease him. but it was good for socrates. (screaming) he needed to lighten up. eventually all that questioning made socrates want to study himself and find out what life is all about. and that was the birth of philosophy. okay, that does not count as giving humans philosophy. why not? because you have to do more than just ask questions. why? because... well, because... i suggest you g

power lead them to collaborate on many matters that don't have anything particularly to do with philosophical disagreement in american politics. >> you have a hypothesis in your book, and it is that presidential leadership exacerbates partisanship. >> right. >> why so? >> because members of congress have a partisan stake and how the president is perceived, whether the present is perceived as successful or unsuccessful. this leads members of the president's party to get the president the benefit of the doubt on matters that he champions. and it leads the opposition party, the president opposition, to impose higher burdens of proof before willing to go alon 3th the president's proposal.3 >> what have you found when the senate and the p3resident are  the same party of the senate33 majority and the present are of the same party, is there a difference as opposed to the president and the sin of being a different party? >> i see the same dynamics in the senate with the president's fellow partisans working with the president to push his agenda. and the opposition party resisting. i think it'

some people think that he was an ancient philosopher, jewish philosopher.holars continue to think he was best understood as a kind of jewish apocalyptic prophet. >> but jesus the prophet was not alone in his search for souls to save. scholars tell us the landscape was teeming with jewish groups, each with their own take on god's word. one such sect, the essings, were apocalyptic jews who lived in the desert by the dead sea. >> when their writings were discovered in the caves of kumron in 1948, we suddenly gained startling new clues about jesus' own spiritual roots. >> we have from kumron just a small bit of a manuscript that shows us that there were other jews, just before the time of jesus, who were waiting for a messiah who would exert miraculous and healing power, and who would also have the power to raise the dead. jesus embraces that messianic expectation. >> and it began with a baptism, as the gospels tell us, performed by the man who tradition and scholarship say was jesus' cousin and boyhood friend. john the baptist lived in the wilderness wearing c

is it highly tactical or philosophical? in other words, if i am favor of collective bargaining rights for all american workers or i am in favor, i am opposed to new venture being a right to work state. i'll say that that is tactical on the other is philosophical. is it both, any, or all? >> this is going to be decided by the groups coming. what they want to ask. >> i hope it is more tactical. >> any other things that people want to bring up before we come back together to the full group? >> i can get myself down to the manchester meetings but, the notion of indirect action that we could collect cans for the new hampshire food bank, ford to a trickle of action at veterans, another concept that i had, which i would gladly court made. >> someone who would like to be a reporter for our group to give a quick summary of what we talked about during our time to get it? but for me begin with the full -- as we meet together with the full word? -- full group? >> how are we going handle that? >> i can give it a shot. >> all right, grea

i separated by religious and philosophical beliefs from my activities. i'm not the first person to do that, obviously. many people do that. but the fact that i did it, when i woke up to a, it was dreadful and terrific for me. and i was in depression. i never thought i wanted to kill myself, but i thought, gee, what did not be better if i were never here. that is a horrible feeling. but i have a family. i have kids and wife who are also suffering. my mother and my father -- my mother passed away, unfortunately. but it is a process and it was a necessary process. by the time i had gone to prison, i had reconstructed my belief system. i had not been able to speak about it because the media was not interested in hearing from me, to be honest. i became a cartoon. i put on a rain hat because it was raining one day. i went to the courtroom. here is an idea of what it is like for someone in my shoes. the media sits outside your house. they accost her family. where are you go, they rush you. the paparazzi are not decent journalists like tom brokaw or things like

perhaps this is part of a philosophical difference. if so, we need to get into this issue of transparency and find out why some commissioners opposed more openness. i can remember on a personal no a couple of months ago vermont is right now engaged in illegal dispute in the courts with a large energy company, and i ask the commissioners to tell me that there was a vote, the vote read the nrc had urged her in my view absolutely inappropriately. and i asked how you voted. i did not get a clear answer. people in vermont want to know. i think in general we need more transparency. my understanding is that chairman jaczko is fighting transparency, and some of you are not. that is not a personality difference but a philosophical difference. that is political. on the primary issue, the nrc should be concerned with safety. we are approaching the 1-year anniversary of fukushima in march. in the united states we have come to three nuclear reactors with the same design as the plan that experienced at least a partial meltdown in japan including one

it is a philosophic position. it would be interesting for people to live in a world as people did at the beginning of the modern era and centuries before. people were not relentlessly comodified, the way they are now. people should live in an environment where nothing is bought and sold, just to see what it is like. you know what that is like, within families. there are family that fight about inherited, property, but in any decent family, you are not buying and selling to one another, you are giving. that is a gift economy. it is predicated on the idea that some things have an unconditional value. you cannot put a price on it. we just said, everything is a gift in our city. you cannot buy or sell anything. there is no advertising. you are not surrounded by this nattering pandemonium of commercial messages, which is so relentless. and lo and behold, we discovered, had a certain point in a community, when everyone is giving, -- people began to have experiences that were revelatory. they began to feel like they were

so there's incentive for them to do so. >> the president was in a philosophical pretzel.point he's saying we can't cut taxes unless we find a way to pay for it. on the other hand he says we're for pro growth, you cut taxes you get growth and you bring more money in. either you cut taxes and you don't pay for it or you cut taxes and you do. >> here's the way it's always been, we should be able to close loopholes and raise revenue as a result. that's the common ground that washington should be able to come to. it's not rocket science. >> you can close the loopholes but democrats want to make sure that you still have a certain amount of fairness in there and the wealthy have gotten by pretty good in the last few years. >> thanks to both of you. >>> the vote of confidence the u.s. isn't getting today. china's rise is something i see starkly when i travel in the mid east. in my conversation specifically about this, in a four-page ad in the "new york times" about the uae's 40th anniversary. he highlighted on the back that uae had only 18 businesses in 2005 and 800 today. a whol

laissez-faire approach where they want every man or woman to be for himself or herself, and that philosophical difference is something that can penetrate our politics if we get speeches like this. >> mr. frank, did he succeed in connecting the economic crisis of the past few years with republican policies? and how is that going to play in kansas, the middle of the country? >> look, that would be fantastic if, you know, to play in the middle of the country if you could make the connection like that. i, you know, i don't think he nailed that message as well as he might have done. i mean, you got to talk about what happened. you know, how did the regulators miss this thing? how did the -- how did s&p miss this thing? how did everybody -- how come everybody was asleep at the wheel? you've got to go into it with a lot more detail than what he gave us. you know, but it was a great start. and this is, i think, exactly the way to approach voters in a place like kansas. i'm not saying this is going to, you know, overnight make obama a popular man in kansas -- >> he's making -- he's making the case that

so i think this is really a philosophical debate the republicans are having. and it's so wrong headed in terms of the lessons we've just learned. if there's one thing we should have learned from this financial crisis is you do not want to have financial supervision where a whole host of institutions that are dealing with average people have a hole where they don't have supervision. that's exactly what they're doing. the way the law was created is our new consumer watchdog cannot regulate so-called nonbank institutions. meaning payday lenders, credit institutions, debt collectors. they cannot regulte or supervise any of them until there is a director. so every day they hold this up, even while small community banks are playing by the rules, you've got a so-called installment lenders preying on the families of veterans, charging them, seriously, 300% interest rates over a year. and we cannot do anything about it simply because they refuse to put any director in the place. >> the agency has been doing some work even in the absence of a director. new credit card a

gingrich's critique, obama is radical, outside the mainstream and offers a philosophical alternative. >>> the question for romney at this point, is it too late to recast himself? a lot of people coming into the campaign you have to repeated yate your massachusetts health care disaster. whether he can say i'm going to run as a conservative, i don't know. he may get to that. >> what about the gingrich baggage. there is a quote that was reported this week from 2007 where gingrich, even after he had gotten important an million dollars from freddie mac in consulting fees, basically said put it in terms, i think the government sponsored enterprises is a good thing, alexander hamilton and teddy roosevelt, putting a historical thing on it. >> and hoping the american public doesn't know their history very well. i don't think anybody who is a conservative doesn't want to the re-elect a modern day version of teddy roosevelt. >> is that possible in this race? >> i don't think so. he is always going to be compared to romney, they both have problems. romney says he should raise taxes on the wealthy

you start to see him lay out this broad philosophical case as you mentioned about this speech that heying that this is a fundamental, philosophical difference between republicans and democrats. we're looking for a square deal whereas republicans want to let you fend for yourselves. he's counting on that argument to carry him through what promises to be a pretty nasty general election. >> joe, when you look at all of the plans on the other side of the argument in terms of the republicans. when you look at newt's plan. when you look at willard's plan. when you look at rick perry's plan. they all want to lower taxes for the rich, lower taxes for corporations and repeal financial reform so they really all are basically saying the same thing. >> and here's another graphic that you ought to consider at some point in time. in other words, what does it mean to the treasury? most experts will tell you that it probably will be an $800 billion cut in the treasury. now, that means something else is going to have to be cut, and then when you follow the ideological line of newt gingrich, of mitt ro
