Jack B Nimble posted:Yeah I think I was a bit too kind in that characterisation: sometimes Ben Shapiro's comments are understandable within a rational frame work grounded in reality, and sometimes he's a insane conspiracy theorist. What surprised me most was when I found out he wasn't ranked near the bottom of the pile for my choices, he's among the top, I mean I'd listen to him before I listen to Sargon of Akkad. Ben Shapiro is an awful, pedantic transphobe and racist and his opinions have no place in rational society.

https://www.lawfareblog.com/lawfare-podcast-niall-ferguson-square-and-tower Niall Ferguson argues in his new book, “The Square and the Tower: Networks, Hierarchies and the Struggle for Power,” that the powerful role of networks has often been overlooked. At the Hoover Institution earlier this month, Ferguson spoke to Jack Goldsmith about why historians have glossed over networks, the rightful place of networks in the study of history, and what the modern dominance of social networks means for the future of power.

I don't remember if I first heard about imaginary Worlds in here or not, but I love it. The (real-world) history, innerworkings, and context of virtual, imaginary, and created worlds. As in, not the history of the peoples of that world, but our historical context to them, the technologies and philosophies that allowed them to be created. Also really been enjoying Astonishing Legends. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Mar 31, 2018 |

Philosophers have done worse, take Shopenhauer:quote:One day, a cleaning lady made what he considered to be an excessive racket outside his rooms. He asked her to quiet down, which led to an argument. Push came to shove, and the lady ended up at the foot of the stairs. The local court ruled in favor of the Putzfrau, and Schopenhauer was ordered to pay her a monthly sum of money for the rest of her long life. When at last she died, the philosopher opened his journal and penned what is arguably the greatest Latin pun of all time: Anus obit, onus abit. http://maverickphilosopher.typepad.com/maverick_philosopher/schopenhauer/

I can't say I've ever been a huge Ezra Klein fan but gently caress did he ever take Sam Harris behind the woodshed. What a loving destruction. Klein is as smart as Harris THINKS he, himself is.

Ezra Klein beat the brakes off that guy, but in a polite way, it was a lesson in how to give critism. The third time Ezra said Sam's last statement "was actually really helpful" I'd been conditioned to wince in anticipation of the oncoming slam. History of Britain podcast is good.

I didn't see it posted in the OP but History on Fire is pretty great in my dumb awful opinion. Mostly because its consisten as compared to Hardcore History (which is great), a bit shorter, and Bolleli is so chill with how he speaks he puts me to sleep if I'm laying down. His Gladiator series is great.

Jack B Nimble posted:History of Britain podcast is good. Does it get better? I stuck with it a long time, almost 100 episodes, but I had to give up because the guy is just so long-winded I couldn't take it. There's too much pop psychology and amateur philosophizing, which can sometimes work but the delivery just didn't do it for me. To me it has a vibe like a middle school history class or something... hard to put my finger on it so I'll just say he's an over-explainer. Also, like a lot of middling history podcasts, if the host would only learn to pause between paragraphs like Robin Pierson (of History of Byzantium), it would be a lot more listenable. Anyways, I was hoping that it would improve once the amount of source material increased, but at the speed he was progressing, I ran out of patience. Is it worth skipping ahead? Ninja edit: this is in reference to the "British History Podcast"... is "History of Britain" something else?

Ezra Klein didn't "beat" Sam Harris. Two incoherent thinkers engaged in a dialogue which proves the incoherency of each of their positions. And Klein's politeness is a thin veneer, behind which is an ideology which is ultimately dehumanizing. I can't listen to Bolleli because I literally cannot understand his accent. I still listen to the History of Britain podcast, but it's getting difficult because it's frustrating to hear the history viewed through his political bias. And there remains the pop-psychology and stuff. Still, I'm fascinated enough by the actual nation that I endure it.

I remember listening to a few episodes of the British History podcast and thinking it was garbage. Even in the first few he was drawing sweeping conclusions about poo poo we know next to nothing about. There are decades in the history of the Isles that have maybe, maybe a single paragraph to describe them. The idea that you could tell a factual narrative history with such scant sources is laughable.

Sorry, yeah, "British History Podcast". I'm only 3 episodes in and was happy to have access to what the feed showed was a years long, 100+ episode podcast. If you've listened to that many episodes and don't like it, you're the one that should be educating me. I may get tired of it too, but I'm a sucker for "start to finish" histories.

The History of English Podcast gives a pretty good history of Europe, then England itself, by way of the history of the English language. One of my favourite pure dry informational podcasts.

I'm not a cultural chauvinist. I just have a difficult time with his accent. Other people than you find stuff that you find easy challenging sometimes. This is not a hard concept.

Honestly we need more Slavic representation in the podcast arena. This lack of cultural diversity is truly upsetting. Oh wait nevermind, its just a history podcast and I care less about their cultural origin or ethnicity and more about how well they convey the information about the topic.

I never said not to expose yourself to people with different experiences though? Like I pretty clearly am saying don't hold someone's race or ethnicity as a measure to whether or not you should listen to them. Call me crazy but that seems like a thing only a racist does or thinks is a good thing. Care more about how well they convey the information and if its accurate or not.
