Thursday we reviewed Incoming President Donald Trump’s efforts to re-establish the Panamam Canal Zone as an American territory. Trump has also got his eyes on Greenland, and so, today, we’ll examine that territory, currently held by Denmark.
Why does Trump want Greenland? Besides its mineral reserves, does it hold particular strategic value? Here on the Darkhorse Podcast, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying examine what’s afoot.
Cliff High offers one of his more philosophical pieces, although one that’s quite perceptive in showing why our sciences are so limiting and why many scientists cannot come to terms with reality. Much of the problem rests with dictates of science laid down by René Descartes, the 17th century philosopher from France who laid down the groundwork for analytical geometry and served as a key figure in the Scientific Revolution.
What was the problem with Descartes? High says the Frenchmen didn’t understand the importance of consciousness, and how we can use our thoughts or our energies to control our own bodies, or even to observe or weigh disease in others. This is a far-ranging discussion. High gets into Aikido. He explains why he doesn’t believe in med beds. He even imagines going to Mars on an excursion with the biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying.
This might not be your cup of tea, but if you’re wondering why biology, physics and other sciences seem so stymied and why they are drifting nowadays, Cliff High provides a few valuable clues. This video is part of his Explorers’ Guide To the SciFi World.
