Banksters forever @#hautefinance

Overall, masculinity is generally about being better, stronger, more independent, more achieving than women, and controlling women. Men's identity in this society is around squashing the identity of the other half of the population, as they fight to be those things. (And to squash down great bits of themselves, and to neglect the development of their emotional intelligence.) That's not their fault, but THIS is why men are the constant target of the need to change. Because we can't do it without you. Most men and women are totally miserable as a result of this system because they are both caged. Aside from women's -- overall -- lower capacity for physical strength, we both have the same level of intelligence, and a wide variation of natural traits that are valuable even when they're not traditionally masculine. Most healthy decent people would agree, I hope. Many men DO want women to be more assertive, higher achieving, capable etc. They just don't tend to realise that the way they're expected to live and the society they're doing it in, is EXACTLY why women aren't being those things in anything like the numbers they would be if there was an actual reality for them to do this. Women's socialisation is just as insidious and as powerful as men's, and we are taught in every possible way to believe we are less at every turn. It is systematically enforced. Often it's like we forget just how much that affects people's personalities and achievements. What's the answer? equality. If this could start to be achieved, both women AND men's true potential would flourish. We could help you carry the load in traditional work settings, and you could help in the home. Or we could both more freely choose to do what the hell we want, whilst still caring about others. It doesn't make sense that men and women are socialised to fundamentally misunderstand and actively repel each other. IMO that's just a very illogical system which lowers happiness and stops humans flourishing.

Going to jail soon 😂 Karma has shown it's action

How amazing to hear about the people in your own life came to draw out your story. I feel very privileged to have known and played with a young girl with Downs’ Syndrome. And, so, I was fascinated to connect with the characters in your “community noir” :-). Thank you so much for your writing. I recently read your 2nd in the Matthew Venn series and enjoyed it immensely. I discovered that I’d been missing these characters very much. And I’ve also read a couple of the 4th series (or was it a first series)? Yours in Gratitude

This book makes me want to write my own version of four opportunities for the living of my own life. I went through those years myself and I like to see them reflected in Auster. I wish he had lived longer.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that's the first time SikTh have been mentioned at any book festival.

Everything you say rings true - thank you - it seems I am only destined to read or finish books that I fall in love with - I wish your books were part of our schooling system -

Reading the second book no know thevsame can’t put it $o win x

Just found you. You are wonderful. I love your videos especially the bears. 😅

Respect 🇯🇲

Janey you are bloody amazing. From one spatchcock chicken to another... dinnae fash what we can't control (I'm in the same boat & get you 200%). Live your life - you're inspiring!

I have read one of her books 'The forty rules of love', really interesting & exciting book, based on some morale lessons

"Oohh, I quite like that" X'D

She looks like John Malcovich

Thank you so much for your books and for the philosophy they impart. I try very hard to practice what I refer to as the AMS method of dealing with people. Reaching out and being kind because I don't know what they are dealing with and I have found it to be so relaxing to practice this and it's all because of you. Our daughter visited the Vanola Crolla store when she was in Edinbough recently and brought back a signed copy of The Perfect Passion Company. I am just finishing some of one of your other books so as soon as I finish that I will start on that book.. Olivia told my daughter that you are a very nice man and stop in there all the time and that you had managed to include her in one of your 44 Scotland Street books. I look forward to reading more of your books.

Now we all are a 'global village' courtesy of the internet. It is hard to realise how segregated the world was. I have listened to his pitch, as he plugs it on the 'web'.. It seems just as weighted to a target audience as probably anything published. He'll be on Bridgerton next...

Fascinating!

This is so spot on. Tactics of misogyny ...target, stalk, harass, smear and blame. Anything to keep us women in our place. Can't have us standing up for our rights or speaking out against injustice....

What a pleasure to stumble on this talk with two erudite master cartoonists, who are also real wits!

Maggie!! You are amazing❤

I've had the conversation with many a Christian, that they are missing out on the fascinating drama, e.g. in Genesis, by reading it as if it's actual history (a truly preposterous notion). For example, if you believe God is perfect and never made a mistake (as I've often heard), you then have to somehow ignore that God spends pretty much the whole of Genesis blundering through and having to negotiate with his creation of Mankind (brilliant stories). Likewise, almost every Christian I've chatted with says the bible has mo contradictions, so I tell them to please go home and carefully read the short story of Noah's Ark that they know so well, perhaps take notes, and get back to me. Sometimes i supply three questions: How many of each animal went onto the Ark? How many days passed between Niah and co getting on board and the rain starting? For how many days did it rain? Often, the response is an enthusiastic "Yes, I'll read it tonight." Not a single Christian has ever reported back to me.

It's always wonderful to hear Alan Lee talking about his work...but it could be even better if his works were catch entirely on camera during his speech 🙄

1:10:30 I'm actually considering another book of slightly longer short stories

1:09:47 the legend!!

13:48 This actually makes me really sad. I don't think he meant it to come off this way, but basically he's been so harassed and brow beaten and ignored that he has learned that most of the time when he says "No" he might as well just say "Yes" and save himself the time and energy. That's pretty F-d up if you think about it. I'm glad he's managed to see all the positive aspects in it, and for that particular anecdote he made a friend out of it and was retroactively glad he had done it, but I still don't think that justifies other people's behavior.

Hes about as scientific as John Barnes

"watch TV, learn English", that was my path

"all fiction is speculative, it's made up boo" 😂 absolutely pissing myself

Having grown up with this lovely man, I can tell you there is no off button! He’s just constantly entertaining - oh and a brilliant footballer!

A scientific scandal is how you and your cronies at Humanists UK have repeatedly sacrificed truth for virtue signalling. No one should ever forget the cowardice you showed over Covid and the trans cult. Shame.

Ireland is a colony of the USA. The gay marriage thing appears from nowhere via SCOTUS decision that imposed it top down. Irish intellectuals desperate to be “respected” by AngloAmerican world repeat their ideas back to them.

Thanks for the video ! Nevertheless it's a pity we didn't get an interview containing spoilers, it would have taken the conversation way further...

Is this the guy who doesn’t believe races are different? Look how different he looks to the interviewer! No such thing as race?? How can anyone take someone like this seriously? Many scientists have been called out the last 5 years and rightfully so. We should do our best to challenge these ideologues.

Deep frying my mix tapes! I would have died. I left a bunch from my best friend in the auditorium mezzanine in high school where I was hiding out by myself during a free period, but had taken a wander and didn't make it back to my stuff before I had to go to my next class. I didn't remember until the next day. Never saw them again. Gutted.

I encountered Phillipe Sands while reading for the Bar in the mid-1980s. He went on to be a great advocate, writer & renaissance man. I got side-tracked into "eating for a living" and was dispatched worldwide to enjoy my metier.

Fantastic. Enjoyed every bit of it.

What a kind and humane person. I came here after watching his fascinating conversation with Richard Dawkins. We world can do with more of him.

TALK ABOUT NORAH VINCENT

Men are sick of being told are worthless while they are literally what sustains this ungrateful society. Remember: Men build houses Women move in

7:14

The caste system never left the new world! 😀

She sounds like a right mess .

Luvvie who 'knows all the right people' Zzźzzzzźzzzzzzz

Wow, i can't believe Scotland has their prime ministers host a book event. We need more of this!!

I will need you.

Don't have patience for this guy, invariably lecture us and glorify the Democrats. First, at this age, still believing in politicians, and second, a democrat against changing. Only the dems are capable of governing the country, despite some really incompetent and damaging people. So, the quality of is wrighting (which is normal), reflects is views of life.

This is my comfort interview, I re watch it every once in awhile because I love her calming presence and her work

Thank you for this, I am currently on the black leopard , red wolf and have been hopping around in RUclips to hear his insight on the book. Wooow, I have been geeking out for hours now.

5:59 I also drank out of a puddle as a child. My defence was that my favourite dog in the street, drank it first. It tasted vile, by the way.

Just today I encountered her for the first time and I have bought her three books and fallen madly in love and this is one of the best interviews I've ever seen where the interviewer actually let the interviewee speak at length. Instant subscription.
