Do you believe he read this in a book?

He is wonderful. May those of savage nature only praise his name before departing.

Overall many very good points and observations made over the 6 parts, but I find that even where the ideas are sound, their implementation over the last few decades has left a lot to be desired. Given the context of the time this lecture was made, the sentiments are very understandable, but we must not forget the biases that influence those sentiments also exist. I will also note that Russell makes a few false statements, possibly for the sake of brevity, but false never-the-less. For example, when he says that animals do not make provision for winter as humans do, he is ignoring animals like squirrels and bears who either make provision for winter in stores of food or stores of fat. Russell asserts only humans do this, a falsity. I also think that Russell's assertion that only government can provide security, justice, and conservation, is very much in need of critical scrutiny in that he makes an absolute assertion which is vulnerable to refutation by anecdote. I think his assertion here is, in fact, not a true assertion and that it can be quite readily refuted if a person wished to do so. I'm quite disturbed by the surety with which Russell believes in the role of government in society. I recognize he does provide caveats, critique and warnings to his positive advancement of the role of government, but I still find his affirmations concerning. Perhaps Russell lived in a time when government was more competent and less corrupt and malign? I think Russell is definitely worth studying and I find his articulation of ideas quite pleasing to listen to. I find he seems to have an apparently good character and is obviously a well-read and very intelligent man. I think it is wise not to place him, or any person, on a figurative pedestal and I question if his ideas are truly possible to implement and if so, if the cost is too high. The most questionable aspect of this lecture is Russell's advocacy for a world state. Even as qualified by him in this lecture as "only" being responsible for a global monopoly on weaponry and a force for the prevention of inter-state warfare, I still find the proposition to present significant dangers and to be, quite honestly, verging on the naïve. As Russell is clearly a man of significant learning, high intelligence and long years at the time of this lecture, I find his advocacy for a world state cannot be dismissed as a product of naivety. I therefore find that Russell, as a product of his time, is likely trying in his advocacy for a world state to perpetuate empire through a formulation he characterizes as benevolent. In my view, the only way a world state could seem to be desirable to a person or group is if it were assumed that the control of that world state would be in the possession of that person or group. Would Russell be as keen on the idea if the world state were to be in the control of the Russians, Germans, French or Chinese? I think this betrays his true motives.

Some very good points made, many that appear to have been ignored by Russell's successors. ...or perhaps Russell's public commentary only represents a PR element and in private, among his peers in the elite, a different plan for the future of humanity has been devised, one far less benevolent in its conception, as is suggested by actions that have unfolded post-Russell. One thing seems clear, the post-WW2 world seems to have been dominated by Russell's thinking and the thinking of those who share his worldview. The subduing of Germany and the end of the kind of Germanic thought that produced a counterpoint to British thought in the pre-WW2/1 era has led to an insufficiently critiqued, lopsidedness in European philosophizing. While I think it's fair to say that the ideas advanced by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche leave many things to be desired, it seems to me that without the kind of Germanic thought that was prominent in pre-WW2/1 Europe to counterbalance the thinking of British Liberalism, we end up with an ideological dominance that is insufficiently tempered by credible and critical opposition. It seems that the Anglo-American successes of the mid/late 19th century and the 20th century over Russia and Germany and to a lessor extent the 18th century successes over France, have left the Anglo-American establishment in a position of almost uncontested intellectual, military and economic dominance over Europe and the European diaspora nations. In a sense, the USA is rather like the ancient Rome of today and the British establishment are like the ancient Greek intellectual establishment post Roman conquest. Without much competition to stimulate new ideas, the Anglo-American establishment is becoming intellectually bankrupt. No wonder they are seeking input from sources of "diversity." Unfortunately for them, their precious "diversity" wont be able to save them as the degree of complexity and expanse of operations are far beyond the conception of the average European mind to contend with, let alone the average "diverse" mind. Can't get certain East-Asians involved too much either as they will seek to supplant Western hegemony. If only the elites of Judeo-Anglo-American establishment weren't possessed of such supercilious arrogance, they might have looked closer to home for recruits to assist in their endeavours. At least Plato conceived of elevating worthy minds into the "Golden class," whereas the current elite seem to have little belief that such worthy minds even exist.

...and indeed we have created precisely a new prison for ourselves through the tyranny of enforced equality, the pseudo-religious fervor for scientism and the fanatical elimination of all distinctions to the point that we ignore the empirical, punish the truth tellers and deny each other the very liberties we sought to extend to all peoples. The path to Hell is pathed with good intentions and if good intentions were ever extant in the machinations of Russell and his fellow elites, they have led us to a precipice of fascistic ideological orthodoxy where the new sins are the highlighting and articulation of difference, even when that difference can be repeatedly demonstrated. The very empiricism that Russell seemed so fond of is now shunned when it fails to confirm the biases of orthodoxy. Empirical measurements, no matter how rigorous or scientific in their acquisition and analysis, are rejected if they show any deviation from the pseudo-religious tenets of "Diversity, Equality and Inclusion." Perhaps if Russell had lived long enough, he would have been able to curb the excesses of neoliberalism and globalism so that these ideologies were restrained within boundaries that kept them from becoming oppressive, authoritarian and anti-empirical. In his absence, it appears lesser minds have failed to keep a true heading.

Some very good observations and very good points, well articulated. The problem of excess accumulation of power in progressively fewer hands has continued unabated. The attempt to form a global state has progressed and the formation of a pan-Western civilizational cultural consciousness has taken many steps forward over the last 60 years. The problem I see, that isn't mentioned here, is that national and even imperial governments have demonstrated many failings, often only limited by their scope of power. A global state with a global government will have effectively unlimited scope of power and therefore unlimited scope to destroy mankind through error, folly, arrogance and corruption.

...and hence is produced the social engineering that today is carried out by the same tiny elite that Russell belonged to, complete with its criminalization of speech and thought, denying people fundamental liberties on the basis that they vibrated the air in a way that the elite disapproves of, or otherwise hold views the elite dislikes. ...we might ask ourselves where does the desire for all human endeavours originate? We must answer, in nature. Is the desire to control, to shape societies, to socially engineer, rooted in anything different than the will to dominate that drives man's destructive activities? No. Russell's impulses, his cognition, his motive energies, root into nature. If the intellect is the servant of the will, then it can be said that all intellectual activity is driven by the same will that drives all other striving in human life. Russell, afterall, is not advocating for the ordinary person to shape social engineering ideology, policy or practice, but for the intellectual elite, him and his in-group, to do so. The violent acts of the world can be said to be just as much a product of a will to dominance, a striving to witness the manifestation of will within perceived external reality, the use of power, as is the desire of intellectuals to shape ideologies and influence societies through intellectualism, via science, politics, economics, philosophy and so on. The method of dominance is changed, the end result, the satisfaction, the fulfillment of the mind witnessing its impact on the external universe is the same. The intellectual's ideological influence, or the savage's violence produces the same outcome, the expression of will within external perceived reality, the witnessing of individual power within the world. Is Russell wrong? No more than the savage is wrong. Both are human and both seek to witness the manifestation of their power within the external world. The methods may differ enormously, but the fundamental outcome, internal power made external, the will made manifest in the world, is not different. Intellectuals are still subject to the human condition.

To be eloquent is not a sign of True Wisdom ,it is a sign that the speaker doesn't understand the Spiritual Nature of "The Form of the Good" or "The Form of the Beautiful", Forms are not Lofty thoughts and intellectual sounding speech patterns ....."Forms" are .....🤔

The Greeks got a massive leg up from the Sumarians (3000 years of observations)

Social Cohesion requires us to work together. When I look at the USA, they are "rugged individualist" as part of their Neo-Liberal ethic. Some of them say that society does not exist. I find them "selfish" in their insistence of their Constitutional Individualism, and their singular "rights". Sadly religion has muddled their world.

Russell is correct that, without a government using the monopolly of force on a society, men would have never built gargantuan useless structures, that served no purpose, like the pyramids. People who are not under the rule of a government would instead use their time, ressources and energy to build things that are useful to them. Whenever Russell tries to make an argument for the government, it becomes an argument that the government is more than useless, it is detrimental for humanity.

Russell is on to something when he says that we shouldn't remove danger and competition in our society. However, he failed to provide a constructive way to use these evolutionary behaviors. The exploration of space would be a good drive for humanity. There is ample room for competition and danger in space. And unlike war, this would advance humanity. It would provide more room and resources for humans to thrive. This brings me to what I dislike about Russell. He replaced religion with the government. Trading one evil for another is not progress. We will never explore the stars while under the thumb of the government. The government has no incentives to send people on other planets because it has no control and cannot use people when they are out of its reach. Thus, the only logical conclusion is that we must evolve past the need for government.

How wonderful to be able to listen this and to the remainder of the series. Thank you so very much.

"Men of initiative" need to come together in our shared victories for all humanity. We're clearly having them.

Wow. Thanks so much for posting this. It's pure gold. Bertrand had a gifted insight in to all issues. He's up there with Alan Watts.

How lucky are we to have so much audio of Bertrand? And there's even some passable video footage of various interviews, too. So fortunate. Thanks *

Native American spirituality or shamanism is 35,000 years old the only spiritual construct that works…. 💯

He sounds very influenced by Veblen, love both philosophers

Science has for many years tried to disprove the Biblical Account of Creation Ex Nihilo, as Recorded in the opening Chapter of the Book of Genesis, the Infallible, Inspired, Inerrant Word of Almighty God. And science has always FAILED in their feeble attempts One very important fact has, and can never be answered by those who believe in the MYTH known as Evolution: WHERE did the very first form of life come from? If there is a "Big Bang Theory", then WHAT banged? WHERE did the very first element, atom, or whatever you may call it, come from? Without the God of the Holy Bible, and Its Teachings, there is no way to explain the MORALITY that exists in this world, like the wrongs of incest, adultery, homosexuality, murder, theft, kidnapping, fornication, etc, etc, which is ONLY to be found in the Holy Bible! No religion in this world, which are all human, ever says these and many other things, are WRONG and SINFUL! All legal systems that exist in this world, that consider these acts as unlawful, do so because of The Holy Bible saying so! These and others, are essential questions, which "science" can and never answer! Without the God of the Holy Bible, and the Teachings in the 66 Divinely Inspired Books in the Holy Bible, in the Original, there is NO possible human explanation for this universe that we live in! Now try and disprove these FACTS!!!

Keep in mind that much of the anthropological and archaeological evidence Russell uses is outdated, but he still expresses remarkable insight. And after all, seventy years from now it's certain that our present understanding of the archaeology and anthropology of early humanity will also be outdated.

Social theory without Christ in the center is in vain. Even Russell admitted that Ghandi could not have freed India from the Brittish if Brittain did not have a Biblical foundation. Neitsche had it right, saying that if you get rid of Christianity, you get rid of morals. Atheist comedian George Carlin said that our planet would be better off without people on it. The damnable part for atheists is that life does continue after the grave. God will judge the world in righteousness. If you are a good person, you will not have any problems. However, if you have lied, stolen, or used God's wonderful Name in disrespect, you will be rightly tried as a lying thief and a blasphemer. Unfit for the perfect social fabric of heaven, you would be cast outside with other lying thieves. Hell is torment forever; how could it not be? Yet, Christ died on a Cross so that we may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

How do we know we don't just have impulses to do wierd human shit. The sense of accomplishment makes you feel good so you'll toil through bad feelings to get good accomplishment impulse.

The is Wisdom it self one can say. Respect 🙏

It is my belief that if we introduced Mr. Russell to students starting in the 3rd to 4th grade and continued his talks.. though out their Jr and Sr high school years into their college years... we would change the whole of society forever. I can assure you, if you ask... 1,000 Americans between the ages of 10 years old to 30 years old, hardly a 1 would have any idea who he was... nor could they even slightly give us a single sentence.... of enlightenment. I am not judging nor belittling.. I am simply making a statement I believe to be factual!

Granting modern man the facility to undertake adventure in travel, expedition and exploration, as well as in entrepreneurship, investment and in the endeavour of self reliance, are plausible replacements for the destructive effects of these driving instincts. It is the failure of our systems to free man from the shackles of financial servitude to become his own champion that destroys a man’s spirit. Because the instinct is not to seek enemies but to seek the means to survive. It is in THAT endeavour, that experience of the daily struggle to achieve security in old age, that is man’s truest driving force.

The rights of man are provided by the State where opportunity rises and justice is unequivocal for protection.

Individuality enhances responsibility of thought and accountability, rather than follow dogmatic ideals. Exercising democracy instead of the majority rule by instilling fear or exploitation of the masses. Thank you Bertrand Russell.

The balance between Morality and Science is intricate, requiring of thought. Politics needs both information to achieve progress.Thank you Bertrand Russell.

Thank you; no cohesion from fear but mere benevolence.

"But from the time we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been perishing by sword and famine.” Jeremiah 44:18

I consider Russel's book to be something of a Logical Positivism technical demo. I think logicism is a bit hubristic in that it has it's own metaphysics capable of reading other metaphysical systems, so he assumes it must be something above metaphysics, but it isn't. It is a metaphysical system capable of transliteration because it is based on logic. That's impressive in it's own right, but hardly the Truth. But whatever I may think about Russel's metaphysics, it's impossible not to love him as a man.

I make a point of not watching and certainly not buying any of the CRAP advertised in You Tube which interrupts the clips or videos. Capitalism including the advertising lies and bullshit is a true pain in the ass.

Sounds like the rantings of a hysterical Catholic school girl.

Truth is timeless. I wish I possessed such clarity of thought and mind. Thank you for these uploads.

The greatest discoveries regarding the criminal mind have come about from the dissection of the English aristocrats brains.

27:15 lol, I wonder if Russell considered Hitler when he wrote this.

24:13 I know what he's trying to argue about, but this argument is kind of silly for one main reason: it's not one, single man killing 500,000 people. It takes many 1000's of highly specialized people to build an atomic bomb. It takes millions of people to support the 1000's of said, highly specialized people. It is likely more appropriate to consider that with the correct organization of millions of people, then we can build ***many bombs that can murder 500,000 people. He still has his mind set in the right area. We have means of destruction that are so ridiculously powerful we could nearly kill all of civilization in a few hours if we desired. I say nearly, because there will be post-apocalyptic survivors, and they will almost certainly rebuild civilization.

It's too bad this man didn't live to be here and now, because he would have considered the biochemical mechanisms we discovered since he died, and the ones we continue to discover. I may not have the science yet to back it up, but I am nearly certain that biochemistry holds an answer for why people desire "thrilling" experiences. It's not only an emotional reason: that's the surface layer reason. We seek thrilling, possibly societally abhorrent behavior, because on a biochemical level the body is tracking levels of neurotransmitters. Are you feeling sad and depressed too much of the time? It's because your body's system is keeping score of serotonin levels, and it says you're too low. So you go do something thrilling (either attempt suicide or some other thrilling behavior), and you get a massive spike in serotonin or other neurotransmitters. Down to a biochemical level, the human body is keeping tally. Scientists are close to understanding it, and soon we will be able to modify/modulate the score by our own will. We already take control of it with medications, but I mean it will be a more widespread solution than medications. You can cry all you like about "SSRI bad" but I don't really care. My goal is a utilitarian utopia.

This guy is one of the brightest minds that has ever existed.

Thank you - great presentation . I love Plotinus

Social cohesion has never been necessary for survival. Authority and the will it imposes only gives you the illusion that it is, while convincing you any alternative to a society is ludicrous. On the contrary, it is not ludicrous, it is merely not lucrative and takes away from the powers that be.
