Rutger Bregman is delivering this year's BBC Reith Lectures. Just subscribed to Downcast. I'll listen over the holidays.

I read his book titled Humankind in 2020, and enjoyed it. I wrote on Twitter on 25th June (typos uncorrected):

"I finished Humankind by Rutger Bregman today. Everyone should read it. Lots of the stories that peoples worldview and also policy is based on are incorrect. The Stanford Prison Experiment for example."

It comes with a little attention task: listen closely and spot the instance where the #BBC reportedly removed the line: "Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history."

I can’t get enough of #rutgerbregman ‘s first #reithlecture . His analysis of the decay of the West seems accurate to me, but what I really love is his optimism for a future built on a moral revolution. His proposition: just imagine what we could achieve if we self organise and work together on meaningful endeavours. I’m compelled to quote nearly everything he says…

So now our Press is being censored so a Foreign Tyrant doesn't sue the BBC? And where is the Prime Minister during all this? Saving his own premiership right now, too busy to defend the UK against foreign aggression

Here's the BBC Bias, subjectively Trump is a very corrupt man, it's barely partisan to say it, unless you're someone like Robbie Gibb, who can look past Trump's sex crimes and corruption and see the beautiful tyrant underneath...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001g2zf 9am #bbcradio4+#BBCSounds Author and musician Darren McGarvey gives the third of four #bbc #reithlectures on theme of #liberty, addressing "#freedom from #want." McGarvey argues that the present system isn't working for many but that it is incumbent on #citizens to confront that+rise to the #challenge of what #inequality means. Individuals, he says, need to take personal #responsibility +reject the apathy which many working-class communities experience.

Impassioned, humane, and pointedly internationalist defence of free speech and plurality of thought from the great Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in the #ReithLectures. Stick around for the Q&A, it’s worth it.

I think I can date my understanding of the ecological crisis to the 1969 Reith Lectures by Frank Fraser Darling. He even mentioned the build up of CO2. The main learning for me was that ecosystems are indeed interconnected systems. Impacts of dams on soil fertility, public health, fisheries and nutrition, was the paradigmatic case for me.
