again, remember, yale was founded as a protest against harvard's drift to the new philosophy at at yale he will read the people we talk about last week and that you read last week william ames adrian hare aboard francis berger steak these are your traditional protestant scholastics who believe that what you do is you accept assumptions on authority and you use logic to open them up and that tells you what truth is. so he goes there and this is what he studies. but he also discovers through yale's rector, timothy cutler, william bradley's cartesian new logic, as well as the study of mr. locke, sir isaac newton. so as much as yale is founded as a response to what's going on at harvard, even at yale, they're reading the new philosophy. he gradually. in 1722, dabbled in science civic essays, a little like benjamin franklin. he essays of his observations on spiders and insects. he begins keeping notebooks on epistemology and natural science. a young with a real bent for the philosophic life, but but not just the philosophical life. he returns to yale in 1724 to serve as a tutor. and there he

where you exposed to this canon at yale? a little bit. i don't want to yale too much. it's very, very mean thing to this one's alma mater. i think it was don kagan who was one of the great certainly not left wing philosophers. he was the great, great ancient greek historian who died only recently. and he had been the dean of yale college, i believe it was professor kagan, who said something to the effect of years ago, a student could graduate yale with an education, didn't have to have an education to graduate yale, but it was possible. and today, i'm not sure it's even possible because so much of that university and really all of the universities has been taken over by grievance studies, the the pseudo academic departments that come out of critical theory. i'm thinking of women's sexual and gender studies, black studies is this studies that studies american studies, which ironically is the only studies where the teachers teach you to hate the thing that you are studying. that's not not true of black studies, not true of women's studies. there was a great exchange with

what we found, just in looking at the citations and foot notes of the yale h r l. a paper which was sponsored by the state department that they didn't even follow their own citations. for example, in order to claim that children are taken by train by the russian aviation ministry, and by vos to these russian government sponsored camps inside the russian federation. the authors linked to an article and rhian of osi, the russian state, media outlet about one such program for children from done yet. and if you actually read the article that children are describing a wonderful summer program in which they were treated to nature walks and stunning views of mountain side landscapes that they and that they were grateful to be away from the war zone. so none of that was quoted in the article. instead, the articles just cited to make it seem like these children are being taken on cattle, cars to concentration camps. and that's the sort of language that raymond seeks to evoke in his public media appearances. so basically the paper doesn't follow its own footnotes, you know,

concentrate western financial aid to ukraine in the hands of one person my colleague yuriy fizer i asked yaleor timothy snyder about this and more. here is a small piece of this conversation. there are many reasons to believe that putin's regime must come to an end for russians . this is another reason to make sure that their country won't be able to help leaders who can't travel who many people consider a war criminal or they can arrest putin and hope so it's up to us if we say no it 's never done that's how it will be it's often said that dictators always win but it's not true charles taylor was tried in milosevic's classroom, tried in gas, dictators don't always win regardless of whether putin wins in this particular case, we must say that he must appear before the court that we should try to bring him to trial, this is important because in reality, which of the fascists is constantly looking for and talking about their enemies , someone should think a little about this , the fact that fascists call you fascists actually means that they themselves are fascists. i think that putin is really

that what is taking place and when i say they, i mean not just cream con, but the investigators at yale h r l sponsored by this special state department office that was created to investigate russian war crimes by joe biden. ah, they have alleged what russia is doing by transferring youth from eastern ukraine and particularly done yet can lugens to write the russian federation is the 10 amount to genocide. and at the same time, when you look in the report, the report acknowledges that no miners were abused. they cannot document any abuse of minors. most children were returned on time most went with the consent of their parents who happened to be ethnic russians who were under ukrainian shelling and wanted their children to be safe and have healthy food outside of a war zone. and then when jeremy la fredo, my collaborator on part one of this investigation, interviewed the author of that report. nathaniel raymond, he acknowledged that most of the so called reeducation camps that they researched were in fact cultural centers and recreational centers that he described as teddy bear. and jer

and it also raises the question about nathaniel raymond, the executive director of the yale humanitarian lab, which is funded by the state department. and according to raymond's own comments to my co author, jeremy la fredo was essentially directed to carry out this investigation by the state department. but when you look into the body of the report, or when raymond was challenged by my co author, ll afraid oh, it contradicts what he said in the media. for example, inside the e l h r a report, it says, and i quote that parents provide a center children to these campuses quote, to protect their children from ongoing fighting and ensure that they had nutritious food, of the sort, unavailable where they live. it also said that the campers were returned in a timely manner with the consent of and went with the consent of their parents for the most part. and at this they found no evidence of child mistreatment. those are the exact words of this paper out further. these researchers did not conduct any on the ground investigation. they did not even seek to interview parents, families, children w

i spoke to stephen roach, a senior fellow at yale university, and asked him if ms yellen�*s speech was for the biden administration to dial back some tensions. what i saw from secretary yellen, who i am a huge fan of, was a clear emphasis on security over economics and by ranking security at the top of the agenda, that pretty much turns the hopes for engagement on their head. economics has long been the anchor of the us—china relationship. if we get the economics and trade right, then we can be more comfortable in dealing with the thorny and prickly issues of security. but i'm worried that she is putting the cart before the horse here. and i would say with all, you know, effort to be balanced here, xijinping has done the same thing and is addressed to the party congress. last october, he, too, put the emphasis primarily on security. so you've got both sides focused on security, and that is not a constructive formula for re—engagement and de—escalation of conflict. does the us, though, have a point when it comes to national security concerns over apps like tiktok? also intellectual prop
