Euclid.Elements. It is verydifficult to prove what is selfevident. Another way. Ignore the proof given by the author. State in my language or use proof by authors of later generations. Difference between demonstration geometric and algebraic. Latin and classicalgreek essential to master. One figure per proposition, Figure must be themostsimple or themostfamiliar. Memory delights in brevity. True. Truer words were never spoken. Ya mean? Ya mean? Gnomesaying? Gnomesaying? Ninetyeighttimes, that's toomanytimes. What are you, from theDepartmentOfGnomesSaying? You count how many times I say gnomesaying, gnomesaying? We ain't saying no. We're just saying gnomesaying, gnomesaying? What the hell is this guy saying? Some people think I'm making in this rapgame. Gnomesaying? I can feel that it is becoming moreclear.<br />
Who knows where they come from? Newton inventedGravity because some asshole hit him with an apple.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The80s was not a
great decade for americanCinema; with some exceptions, the filmmakers responsible
for theAmericanNewWave that began in the latter part of the sixties had either
burned out, selfdestructed, or lost their way creatively, and the increasinglycorporatecontrolled
studios weren’t really cultivating the kind of bold, idiosyncratic films that
made me want to make films. It felt like the sense of what was possible had
shrunk, and I worried about my future. Every so often, however, an independent
film (or filmmaker) would emerge that felt connected to both those recent,
great american films and to great cinema from around the world, and as I was
attempting to find my own voice and place in the film world, three independent
american filmmakers in particular attracted my attention and expanded my idea
of what was possible; DavidLynch, JimJarmusch, and SpikeLee. These were
distinctive new voices, and the freedom (and success) they represented was
liberating and energizing; these were shoulders I would try to stand on, that I
would be proud to stand on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certain filmmakers
exist outside the traditional parameters of criticism; their point of view and
body of work make discussions about individual films interesting but ultimatelyirrelevant
because each project is merely a chapter in a very long book that must (and
will) be acknowledged and appreciated for its breadth, ambition, and
contributions to the art ofCinema. For me, SpikeLee is one of those filmmakers.
He is a totallyunique figure in americanCinema, and he’s always gone his own
way and spoken his mind (even when the commercial stakes were high), qualities
which are in short supply in thefilmbusiness. I know Spike’s films better than
I know Spike (maybe the Knicksgame with help with that), but we’re friendly
enough for me to say I respect him as person as well as a filmmaker.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, in case you
haven’t figured it out already, this is why I’m supporting Spike onKickstarter:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1. Spike’s success helped
make my success possible.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2. Spike has earned
my attention because of his body of work and its distinct point of view.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>3. You should
support your friends.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now let’s light this
candle!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peace</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

andrews or mr. soderbergh's projects.</div>

<div>
there would seem to be a play by scott z. burns in mr. soderbergh's future, but it has not been confirmed or announced.</div>

mr.

ActOfKilling2013. Totallyriveting. Thought to myself, They need to pay for this. USPresidents and USGovernments will endure what the defendants ofNumbergTrial had to endure.<br />
ThisIsTheEnd2013. Watched it because there was nothing to do. Mostboring. After Watching it, Walked toUHDstudyroom. Had difficulty studying, because the movie made me tired.<br />
RoadHouse194?. The usual UScrimemovie in the1940s.<br />
Watched a video ofStephenKing at SavannahGABookFestival, 19feb2012. He's been bitching about thefilmversion since it was released. What a fucking asshole. This defamation reveals his character. It greatlydisconcernts me that the writer of his fame and stature is so base and disgusting. MickeySpillane, who is one of themostdepicable writer that have ever existed, complained aboutKissMeDeadly1955 until he fucking died. JamesEllroy, who lives in his own little world and can never think outside ofLAPD and LASheriff'sDepartment, has never grown up, not really. Let him talk about that fucking cuntmother of his until he fucking dies. He is obssessed withJohnFKennedy and other american presidents, because he thinks he is the emperor of the world.<br />
04sep2013.wed. theBeckerBook. Had a conversation with the owner aboutGeorgeHerbertWalkerBush. He hung a photograph ofBush and his wife on the electionday. He defendedBush'sGulfWar on the ground that Kuwait was a sovereignty of theUS and it had a treaty, which allows it to intervene withSaddam'sinvasion. He regards theInternationalCourtOfJustice, InternationalLaw, UNGeneralAssembly as insignificant and ridiculous. He expressed his belief elitist that theLaw should be insulted from the public. Naturally, he was in favour of widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Thought that he didn't realise that he supports digging his own grave and that of his wife. He is the kind of man that supports a Government no matter what. He sincerelybelieves that theUS has a capitalistsystem and Democracy. He doesn't realise that he has been completelybrainwashed on the subject.<br />
14sep2013. FinishedAtEndOfDay byGeorgeVHiggins.secondtime. His description of bodylanguage is amazing, which I didn't notice thefirsttime. </div>

</span></span></span>Burns: I wrote, I started writing it a verylong
time ago. I was working on a TVshow, and doing research atBellevue[Hospital], and
I met a doctor namedSashaBarday, who was our consultant on the movie. And I
tailed him. He's a forensicpsychiatrist, so I tailed him aroundBellevue[Hospital],
and thefirstday I was there, there was a vampire, and it was about tenyearsago.
Thesubwaypusher was there. There <s>were</s> [was] a lot of fascinating cases.
And I became interested the world of forensicPsychiatry, and the story sort of ["]percolated["]<s>
up out of that</s>, and Steven was aware that I was writing it for the most of
thelastdecade, and I was hoping that I would direct it. Cough ofBurns. And that
wasn't working out verywell. Sound of laughter. So, one point, another project
that we were going to do, and that didn't work out verywell, either. So Steven,
you know, said that he read the script and he liked it, and said, Would I do
craftservice instead of direct the movie?</div>

</span></span></span>Soderbergh: I think, well, what I, Scott, I knew
about it. I knew what Scott was up to, and I really, I really loved the idea
that he sort of taken a. Sort of socialissue, ["]veryzeitgeist-y["]
issue, [Fuckareyoutalkingabout? English, motherfucker, english.] and sort of
used it as trojanhorse to kind of hide a thriller <s>inside of</s>. So I've
been. I've been talking to him about it for a while, and we were going. We
worked for almostoneyear forManFromUNCLE, and suddenly and unexpectedly, it kind
of ["]blew up["]. And I called him immediately and said, I really, I
thought we were going to be working together in april. Can we switch? Will you
give meSideEffects? He said, Yeah. So. I just. I really. This was kind of movie
that used to be made a lot, and for some reason, sort of. I don't know if it
got priced out of existence or what? In the[19]80s, which I've talked about as
being probably theworstdecade in americanFilm. Sound of laughter. With the
exception of some great independent filmmakers who were starting to emerge, and
these kind of fun thrillers, likeFatalAttraction or JaggedEdge<strike>The</strike>, that were
just kind of great matineemovies. And like I said, they just kind of [disappeared]
<s>went away</s>. And I, I was really excited about the idea of doing an
updated version of that, that took advantage of the fact that we are. Let's put
it this way. I started my career by making a movie about someone who was seeing
a psychiatrist, who. And. In1989, the idea that AndieMcDowell inSexLies would
have been medicated didn't even occur to me. So here we are,
twenetyplusyearslater and the idea that she wouldn't be medicated wouldn't occur
to anyone. That's a big, I mean, that's a big, you know, in twentyyears, that's
a big movement, I think. [Movement? Fuck are you talking about?] And thanks for
coming. [He pretends to leave the chair.] Sound of laughter.</div>

</span></span></span>Soderbergh: Well, this is a big, you know, this
is a big ["]bagaboo["] of mine, watching what's happening lately,
because <span style="color: red;">I feel like you should have a reason for
everyshot, you should have a reason for everycut, and if you don't, then you're
kind of, you know, you've broken some sort of. I don't know if you've broken a contract
with the audience, but you've broken a contract with me.</span> Sound of
laughter. Because I feel like that's your job. The point is, Everything
matters, everything matters. So when you start ["]throwing["] <s>up</s>
shots and cuts, in which. I'm watching them as somebody who makes movies. I go,
I don't understand what you're doing. What, what, this is just noise. Like,
where is the signal? And that just makes me nuts, and what I loved about this
piece of material was it was an incredible opportunity to be, just to [remove
everything] <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><s>take it all down to the
marrow</s>, and have scenes in which. I could sit there as a director and go,
How few shots do I need ultimately to make this scene work, because more often
than not, it was two, you know. <span style="color: red;">I'm not afraid to have
twopersons sit in a room and have a conversation and have it be twoshots if it
is a good scene. I don't feel insecure about that.</span> And so. That doesn't
mean that it has to be boring, it doesn't mean that, that, it doesn't, it can't
be stylish. It just means that, as a director, you're supposed to sort of sit
there and have the ["]thirtythousandfootview["] [Another favourite
phrase ofSoderbergh.] of the whole movie and be able to ["]calibrate["]
[Calibrate what? Fuck are you talking about?], you know, how, how, the, the
shots and the cuttingpatterns are going to affect the audience? I'll give. I'll
do. A quick example. Thefirstshrinkscene with you two guys, right? Thefirsttwocompositions
were sort of odd. Above you. There's morenegativespace than you would
normallyhave in a shot. There's moreheadroom than you would have in a shot. There's
something notquitesymmetrical about the twoshots as the scene begins. Then she
goes into her monologue about meetingChanning, and we do a diagonal drop in which
the camera is still thesamedistance away from her, but when it lands, we are
muchmore-typical, -symmetircal shot of her, and when I cut <s>around</s>
toJude, I'm matching that, and everything now seems to be back to normal in
terms of the ["]grammar["] we're used to looking at when we watch the
movies. That, to me, that's the job, right? Is to use sort of these elements
that you have available to you sort of, start in oneplace. And the audience may
never be able to articulate that, they may never notice it, but they know that
there's something odd about thosefirsttwocompositions that they're nottypical,
and when the scene ends, we're calm, we're back to par. And so, that, that to
me, that's what you're supposed to do as a director, and when I see something [in
which] that has obviouslyneveroccured to anyone. Sound of laughter. I just go,
Well, you know, what have you been looking at, you know? I've gotten there
because I've watched a lot of movies, good movies that other people have made,
you know, and I'm standing on the shoulders of anybody who have made good
movie. And I'm stealing from, you know, them. So, that's the job, stealing.</div>

Read the article written byAndrewWallenstein. It is probable that he doesn't give a shit about people inSyria. To him, the number of visitors is moreimportant than the content of the article. That is why CaitlinKaluza and the rest of the cunts are fucked. Fucking disgusting rationalisation. "Before wringing your hands raw over online news, consider that this is a
temporary state of affairs. We’re still in the infancy of Internet
content delivery, and there’s going to be plenty of innovation in the
years ahead. The notion of a home page as one curated idea that the
masses consume alike has already begun to be replaced by a more
algorithm -driven, personalized approach. No two home pages are the
same. If you like your news Miley-free, your browser history will make
that clear to your news provider of choice, which will filter what
content options you receive based on your behavioral data."</div>

conversation withNoamChomsky and HowardZinn, two of the leading dissidents in
this country today. I spoke to them yesterday here in Boston in a rare joint
interview. HowardZinn is one of America’s most widely read historians. His
classic work A People’s History of the United States has sold over a million
and a half copies, and it’s altered how many people teach the nation’s history.
His latest book is A Power Governments Cannot Suppress.NoamChomsky began
teaching linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge
over half a century ago. He is the author of dozens of books on linguistics and
US foreign policy. His most recent book is called Failed States: The Abuse of
Power and the Assault on Democracy. In a wideranging interview, we talked about
USwars fromIraq toVietnam, about resistance and about academia. I askedNoamChomsky
about PoliticalScienceprofessorNormanFinKELstein, one of the country’s foremost
critics ofIsraelpolicy, and his battle to receive tenure atDePaulUniversity,
where he has taught for six years. Professor FinKELstein’s tenure has been
approved at the departmental and collegelevel, but the dean of theCollegeOfLiberal
ArtsAndSciences atDePaul has opposed it. A final decision is expected to be
made in may. FinKELstein has accusedHarvardLawprofessor, AlanDershowitz, of
being responsible for leading the effort to deny him tenure. In an interview
with theHarvardCrimson, Dershowitz admitted he had sent a letter to
DePaulfacultymembers lobbying against FinKELstein’s tenure. I askedNoamChomsky
about the dispute.</span></s></div>

</span></span></span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Chomsky: The whole thing is outrageous. I mean,
he’s an outstanding scholar. He has produced book after book. He’s got recommendations
from some of the leading scholars in the many areas in which he has worked. The
faculty, the departmental committee unanimously recommended him for tenure.
It’s amazing that he hasn’t had fullprofessorship a long time ago. And, as you
were saying, there was a huge campaign led by a HarvardLawprofessor, AlanDershowitz,
to try in a desperate effort to defame him and vilify him, so as to prevent him
from getting tenure. The details of it are utterlyshocking, and, as you said,
it got to the point where theDePauladministration called onHarvard to put an
end to this.</span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Chomsky: To stop this maniac, yeah. <span style="color: red;">What’s behind it, verysimple and straightforward.</span> <s>NormanFinKELstein
wrote a book, which is in fact thebestcompendium that now exists ofHumanRightsviolations
inIsrael and the blocking of diplomacy byIsrael and theUnitedStates, which I
mentioned, verycareful scholarly book, as all of his work is, impeccable. Also
about </s></span><s><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">the uses of antiSemitism
to try to silence a critical discussion</span></s><s><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">. And the framework of his book was a
critique of a book of apologetics for atrocities and violence byAlanDershowitz.
That was the framework. So he went through Dershowitz’s shark claims, showed in
great detail that they are completelyfalse and outrageous, that he’s lying
about the facts, that he’s an apologist for violence, that he’s a passionate
opponent of civilliberties, which he is, and he documented it in detail. </span></s><span style="color: red; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Dershowitz
is intelligentenough to know that he can’t respond, so he does what any
tenthratelawyer does. When you have a ["]rotten["] case, you try to
change the subject, maybe by vilifying opposing counsel.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> That
changes the subject. Now we talk about whether, you know, opposing counsel did
or did not commit this </span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">INIquity</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">. And the
tactic is a verygood one, because you win even if you lose. Suppose your
charges against are all refuted. You’ve still won. You’ve changed the subject.
The subject is no longer the real topic. The crucial facts about Israel,
Dershowitz’s vulgar apologetics for them, which sort of are reminiscent of
theworstdays ofStalinism, we’ve forgotten all of that. <span style="color: red;">We’re
now talking about whether FinKELstein did this, that and the other thing.</span>
And even if the charges are false, the topic’s been changed. That’s the basis
of it.<s> </s>Dershowitz has been desperate to prevent this book from being. <span style="color: red;">First of all, he tried to stop it from being published</span>,
in an outlandish effort. I’ve never seen anything like it. Hiring a major
lawfirm to threaten libelsuits, writing to theGovernour ofCalifornia. [ArnoldSchwarzenegger]
It was published by theUCPress. <span style="color: red;">When he couldn’t stop
the publication, he launched a jihad againstNormanFinKELstein, simply to try to
vilify and defame him</span> in the hope that maybe what he’s writing will
disappear. That’s the background.<s> </s><span style="color: #3366ff;">It’s not,
incidentally, thefirsttime. I mean, actually, I happen to be veryhigh onDershowitz’shitlist,
hatelist.</span> And he has also produced outlandish lies about me for years. You
know, I told him I was an agnostic about the[Nazi]Holocaust and I wouldn’t tell
him the time of day, you know, and so on and so forth.</span></div>

What’s the reason? It’s in print. In fact, you can look at it on the internet. <span style="color: #3366ff;">In1973, I guess it was, the leading israeliHumanRightsactivist,
</span></span><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">IsraelShahak</span><span style="color: #3366ff; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">,
who incidentally is a survivor of theWarsawGhetto and </span><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">BergenBelsen </span><span style="color: #3366ff; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">and
headed a smallHumanRightsgroup inIsrael, which was theonlyrealone at the time,
came toBoston, had an interview with theBostonGlobe, in which he identified
himself correctly as the chair of </span><span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">theIsraeliLeagueOfHumanRights</span><span style="color: #3366ff; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">.
Dershowitz wrote a vitriolic letter to theGlobe, condemning him, claiming he’s
lying aboutIsrael, he’s even lying about being the chair, he was voted out by
the membership.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> I knew the facts. In fact, he’s an old friend, Shahak. So I wrote a
letter to theGlobe, explaining it wasn’t true. In fact, theGovernment did try
to get rid of him. They called on their membership to flood the meeting of this
smallHumanRightsgroup and vote him out. But they brought it to the courts, and
the courts said, yeah, we’d like to get rid of thisHumanTights group, but find
a way to do it that’s not so blatantlyillegal. So I sort of wrote that. Dershowitz
thought he could ["]brazen it out["], you know, HarvardLawprofessor.
So, he wrote anotherletter saying Shahak’s lying, I’m lying, and <span style="color: #3366ff;">he challenged me to quote from this early courtdecision. Never
occurred to him for a minute that I’d actually have the transcript.</span> But
I did. So I wrote anotherletter in which I quoted from the courtdecision,
demonstrating that, polite, but that Dershowitz is a liar, <span style="color: #3366ff;">he’s evenfalsifying israeli courtdecisions, he’s a
supporter of atrocities, and he even is a passionate opponent of civil rights.</span>
And this is like the russianGovernment destroying an AmnestyInternationalchapter
by flooding it withCommunistPartymembers to vote out the membership. Well, <span style="color: #3366ff;">he was, went berserk, and ever since then, I've been one
of his targets.</span> In fact, <span style="color: red;">anyone who exposes him
as what he is is going to be subjected to this technique, because he knows he
can’t respond, so must return to vilification.</span> And in the case
ofNormanFinKELstein, he sort of went <s>off</s> ["]into outer space["].
But it’s an outrageous case. And <span style="color: red;">the fact that it’s
even being debated is outrageous.</span> Just read his letters of
recommendation from literally the leading figures in the many fields in which
he works, mostrespected people.</span></div>

IWWstrike atBostonUniversity in1977. And when the faculty had actually won, got
a contract and went back to work, some of us on the faculty said we shouldn’t
go back to work while the secretaries are still on strike. We wouldn’t cross
their picket lines. We held our classes out on the streets rather than do that.
And so, five of us were threatened with firing. But there was a great clamour
among students and faculty and actually across the country. They even got
telegrams fromFrance, protesting against this. And so, one of the rare
occasions in which the administration, with all its power, backed down. And so,

soul in prison, I am not free." And HenryDavidThoreau: "When the

well, Thoreau is worth reading today and remembering today, because Thoreau
committed just a small act of civildisobedience against theMexicanWar. I mean, theMexicanWar
had some of the same characteristics as the war in Iraq today, and that is that
the American people were lied to about the reasons for going intoMexico, and
they weren’t told that the real reason for going into Mexico was that we wanted
mexican land, which we took at the end of theMexicanWar, just as today we’re
not being told that the real reason for being in Iraq has to do with oil and
profits and money. And so, the situation in theMexicanWar, against which
Thoreau objected, was in many ways, you know, similar. And Thoreau saw that,
and he saw that American boys were dying on the road toMexicoCity and we were
killing a lot of innocent mexican people, and so he decided not to pay his
taxes and spent just a veryshort time in jail, but then came out, delivered a
lecture on civil disobedience and wrote an essay on the right to disobey the Government
when the Government violates what it’s supposed to do, violates the rights of americans,
violates the rights of other people. And so, that stands as a classic statement
for americans, that it’s honorable and right to not to pay your taxes or to
refuse military service or to disobey yourGovernment when you believe that yourGovernment
is wrong. And so, the hope is that today moresoldiers who are asked to go toIraq,
moreyoung people who are asked to enlist in the war against Iraq, will read
Thoreau’sessay on civildisobedience, will take its advice to heart, realize
that the Government is not holy, that what’s holy is human life and human

depends what you mean by succeed. I mean, I have a slightlymorehopeful sense
thanHoward, at least expressed. I suspect he agrees. It’s true that the
country, that in terms of the institutional structure, Government for the
wealthy and so on. There hasn’t been much change intwohundredsyears. But
there’s been enormous progress, I mean, even in the last fortyyears, since the
'60s. Many rights have been won. Rights for minorities, rights for women,
rights of future generations, which is what the environmental movement is
about. Opposition to aggression has increased. The first solidarity movements
inHistory began in the1980s, after centuries of europeanImperialism, and no one
ever thought of going to live in an algerian village to protect the people from
french violence, or in a vietnamese village. Thousands of americans were doing
that in the1980s in Reagan's terroristwars. It’s now extended over the whole
world. There’s an international solidarity movement. The global justice
movements, which meet annually in theWorldSocialForum, are a completelynew
phenomenon. It’s true globalization among people, maybe the seeds of the first
true international, people from all over the world, all walks of life, many
ideas which are right on people’s minds and agenda, in fact, being implemented
about a participatory society, the kind of work that MikeAlbert’s been doing.
These are all new things. I mean, nothing is ever totally new. There are bits
and pieces of them in the past, but the changes are enormous. And the same with
opposition to aggression. I mean, after all, theIraqWar is thefirstwar in
hundreds of years of westernHistory, at least thefirstone I can think of, which
was massivelyprotested before it was officially launched. And it actually was
underway, we have since learned, but it wasn’t officially underway. But it was
huge, millions of people protesting it all over the world, so much so that
TheNewYorkTimes lamented that there’s a second superpower, the population.
Well, you know, that’s significant and, I think, gives good reason for hope. There
are periods of regression. We’re now in a period of regression, but if you look
at the cycle over time, it’s upwards. And there’s no limits that it can’t
reach.</span></div>

13aug2013. SkimmedNecessaryIllusionsThoughtControlInDemocraticSociety. Found a way to persuade everyone how the entire films in theHistory ofHollywoodCA are the products ofStatepropaganda. It will also apply toComicBooks, VideoGames, Television.Fiction, and Novels. It is completelyunderstandable why JamesEllroy supports Racism, Sexism, policebrutality, Stateviolence, economicInjustice and opposes freeinternet and freeaccess to information. Also, why StevenSoderbergh considers himself pragmatic and the opponent of power in a veryselfserving way and how he spontaneouslyconcocts rationalisations to persuade himself and others of various arguments. I need to completelyreconstruct my Moral- and Ethic-Philosophy. It will undermine the great directors in theUS, who deserve respect for their abilities, e.g. Scorsese, Spielberg, Lucas, RidleyScott, TonyScott, Hitchcock, Ford, Hawks, Tarantino, Friedkin, DavidLean, Carpenter, Huston, Fincher, Altman, Fuller, and many others. Warfilms. Westerns. Horrorfilms. Crimefilms. Thebullshitargument that people watch movies to relax themselves does not work any more, because the suffering of the victims are too great. Some of the above change their lines veryeasily, as is usual with people inHollywoodCA.</div>

question of credibility, elections are candidates are vetted by the leadership,
the clerical leadership, GuardianCouncil decides who can run.</span> Okay, <span style="color: red;">we're prettymuch the same. Here, the candidates are vetted by
corporateinterests, and unless. The way it's done is, Unless you have huge corporatefinancingandsupport,
you just can't run. I mean, Obama won overMcCain primarilybecause thefinancialinstitutions
liked him better.</span> So, poured money into his campaign, muchmore
thanMcCain, and if you check the funding in polls, you find that the advertising,
and so on. In fact, ["]carried him over the edge["]. And that's true

verylow ranking among the population. It's in the teen sometimes. And
nevertheless, the overwhelming majority incumbence wins. What does that tell
you? <span style="color: red;">It tells you people are voting for candidates that
they don't like, because they don't have any choice.</span> That's. These are
fundamental defects in democraticsystem. It's a huge democratic deficit as it's
called, and it shows how there's a verysharp division between public policy and
public attitudes on a host of major issues. In fact, both politicalparties are
welt to the right of the population on great number of critical issues. And the
population feels they can't do anything about it. So for example, thelastpolls
I saw about this, about eightypercent of the population said that, Goverment
doesn't work for the people. It works for a few big interests looking out for
themselves. That's eightypercent of the population. But if you were to ask
thenextquestion, they didn't do it, What are you going to do abou it? Well, I
can't do anything. There's no way to do anything about the fact that Goverments
are in the pockets of the rich and few big interests, corporateinterests
primarily. That feeling of helplessness, impotence, everything is run by
somebody else, I can't do anything about it. that reflects democratic deficit.
These are enormous problems with the way democraticsystem functions. I mean,
there are some things similar in most places, but in theUnitedStates, it's
prettyextreme in this regard. Among the industrialDemocracies. Omitted.</span></div>

It goes back to theConstitutionalConvention, have
been veryconcerned that over what sometimes calledTheExcessOfDemocracy, that
is, the real participation by the public in forming the public policy. In fact,
theConstitutionalSystem were designed to prevent that. Madison'sconception was
what he called the wealth of the nation, responsible set of men, they're the
ones who should set policy. That's why theSenate, which represented the
wealthy, were given most of the power in constitutionalsystem. Theleastresponsive
to the public, moreresponsive to the interest of wealth, and there have been
battles about this all through americanHistory, and of course, things have
changed a lot since theConstitutionalConvention. But thebasictheme remains the
same. So for example, the leading public intellectual of thetwentiethcentury, <span style="color: red;">WalterLippmann</span>. Progressive. WilsonRooseveltKennedyprogressive.
His view. He wrote what he <span style="color: red;">calledProgressiveEssaysOnDemocracy</span>,
veryinfluential. His view was, <span style="color: red;">Public should be
spectators, not participants. And what he called responsible people, people
like him, the ones who make policy, they should be insulated from the public.
As he put it, they ought to be "protected from the trampling and the roar
of the bewildered herd," the generalpublic, "ignorant and meddlesome
outsiders," who don't belong in politicalsystem.</span> That's a
verystandard view. I mean, this is a version from progressive sector, but it extends
prettymuch across the spectrum. There was an outburst of democratic
participation in the1960s, and in fact, did significantly civilise the society.
But it caused the enormous concern among elites. There's a major study
calledACrisisOfDemocracy by relativelyliberal élites basically. For example,
Carteradministration was drawn from that rank, that sector. Internationally.
And <span style="color: red;">they were concerned about theExcessOfDemocracy,
toomuch participation. It's an overload onState. You can't have all these so
called specialinterests pressing their own demands. Who were the
specialintersts? It's minorities, women, the young, the old, the farmers,
workers, in fact, the population. They're the specialinterests. And there's the
nationalintersts, which has to be sustained, and that's the interests the one
sector that they don't mention, mainly concentrated private capital, which is
overwhelming in its influence, but they represent the nationalinterest, so it's
okay.</span> In fact, Madison had rathersimilar ideas. That's the leading
conception of social and political thoughts, and there's a lot of effort put
into instigating it. That's why propaganda's about. We don't call it

Obamaplan from right as it is called. It's just tooexpensive. Well, there's a
prettyeasy way to cut down the expense. For example, theUnitedStates is

destroyed, it's just being domesticallydestroyed. Maybe thesamecorporations
will produce abroad. Well, that's happening right now. It's causing a disaster
in places like Michigan and Ohio and Indiana. It's destroying home, families,
communities. Meanwhile, while this is happening,
Obama'ssecretaryoftransportation is inEurope, visitingSpain, trying to work out

provide infrastructure and Technology, equipment for highspeedrailtransport,

reduce, society is going to have reconstructed massively.</span> And one
crucial part of it is highspeedtransit. Okay, here we have theGovernment and the
corporatesector dismantling sector of the industrialapparatus that can
verywellproduce the highspeedtransit. Automobileindustry can be retooled for
highspeedtransit. Muchmoreradical steps have been taken. During
theSecondWorldWar, the industry was almosttotallyconvereted to warproduction in
a kind of semicommandingEconomy, and it was verysuccesfful. American
industrialproduction almostquadrupled. It could surely be done here. <span style="color: red;">But instead of doing that, which would make sense for
population and for our grandchildren. It will help preserve liberal
environment. Instead of doing that, Obama sending his transportationsecretary to
use taxpayermoney to get the spanish to do it for us.</span> That's a
commentary on the social and economic system that is just devastating. Have you
seen comment about it anywhere? No, because it's in the interest of the
sectors, the few big interest that, in fact, do run the country. By now, mostly
financialsector. It's profitable for them. So, what the public want. We don't
even know what the public wants, because they're not even asked. It's so remote
from consciousness. But I suspect that people would support it, and it
certainly could be done. Omitted.</span></div>

question is opne. So for example, take the question. Two obvious questions. <span style="color: red;">One is, How come there is anyLanguages at all? Second
question is, Why there are appearantly so many?</span> These are
prettyelementary questions, but they're sensible questions. Roughly say,
onehundredthousandyearsago, which is almostnothing in evolutionary time, the questions
couldn't be raised, because there weren't any languages. You know, maybe
twohundredthousand, roughly that area. So it's a sensible question. One is the
question, How do languages suddenlyemerge in evolutionary record? And it's
prettysudden in evolutionary framework. Not a lot of timeinvolved. And how come
they're proliferated? How come there isn't just one? Well, there are steps towards
answering that. There's progress, I think. My own view, I should say, is idiosyncratic.
It's not widelyheld. <span style="color: red;">I think we understand enough about
the fundamental computational basis ofLanguage to see that to develop kind of
plausible scenario for how there might have been a reasonablysudden emergence
of fundamental nature ofLanguage, and also of why the apparent diversity is
prettysuperfical.</span> So if, say martians, are looking at human the way we
look at say frogs, the martin might conclude that there's fundamentallyoneLanguage
with minordeviations, and I think we're moving towards in understanding of how
that might be the case, and it's prettyclear that that has to be the case. The
time of development is muchtooshallow for fundamental changes to have taken
place. And we know of no fundamental changes. So, a child from
huntergatherertribe inStoneAgetribe in say theAmazon, brought toCambridge and
raised here will go on to become a quantumphysicsts atMIT. There's no known
differences in relative cognitivecapacities. So, there's something
fundamentallythesame about all of us, and that's whatever emerged
prettyrecenetly, and we have to work out the, to show the enormous appearent
variety is kind of superficial variation. And also to explain how itmight have
suddenlyappeared in evolutionary record. Omitted.</span></div>

lives are destroyed in part byUSrun chemicalwarfare, called fumigation, which
destroys their agricultural lands and communities, and in part just by terror

what we can imagine, but willing to do something for someone they've never met.</span>
You find things like that all over the place. Here, too. Some of themostmoving
experience I've had are just in blackchurches in theSouth during
theCivilRightsMovement, where, you know, people are getting beaten, killed,
really struggling for themostelementary rights. <span style="color: #3366ff;">Just
asking for the congressionalAmendements during theCivilWar, asking they be

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">The first question here is from
cocoon56. Do you currently see ["]an elephantroom["] ofCognitiveScience,
just like you named one fiftyyearsago, I guess that's a reference to my
critique of radicalBehaviorism, something that needs addressing that gets too
little attention?</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">Well, one thing that I think
gets toolittleattention in the room ofCognitiveScience isCognitiveScience. Most
of the work that's done just doesn't seem to me to bear onCognitiveScience. I
could pick <s>up</s> a couple of journals here and give examples. <span style="color: red;">CognitiveScience ought to be concerned, should be just </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">a part
ofBiology</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red;">. It's concerned with theNature,
the growth, the development, maybe ultimately the evolution, of a particular subsystem
of the organism, namely the cognitivesystem, which should be treated like the
immunesystem or the digestivesystem, the visualsystem, and so on.</span><span lang="EN-US"> When we study those systems, there are a number of questions we
ask. One question is of course, you know, what they are, <span style="color: red;">Can we characterise them?</span> But that's almost totally
missing inCognitiveScience. I mean, take my own particular area of interest, Language.
A ton of work in what's calledCognitiveScience on what they call Language, but
it's veryrare to see some effort to characterise what it is. Well, if you can't
do that, it doesn't make much difference what else you do. The second kind of
question you have to ask about any organ if you like, some use the term loosely,
subsystem of the body, is how it gets the way it is. So <span style="color: red;">how does it go from some initial state, which is geneticallydetermined, to
whatever state it assumes?</span> And in investigating that topic, there are a
number of different factors that you can take apart for analytic purposes. And
one is the specificgeneticconstitution that's related specifically to this
system. It doesn't mean that everypiece of it is used only for this system, but
just whatever combination of genetically determined properties happens to
determine that you have a mammalian rather than an insect visualsystem, for
example, or a gutbrain, or whatever it may be. That's one. The second is
whatever data are outside that modify the initial state to yield some attained
state. And the third is: how do LawsOfNature enter into the growth and
development of the system? Which of course they do, overwhelmingly. I mean,
nobody, for example, assumes that you have a particular geneticprogram to
determine that cells split into spheres, not cubes, let's say. That's due to,
you know, minimisation ofEnergy, otherLawsOfNature. And the same holds
throughout the course of development. Of course, the same is true for
evolution. Evolution takes place with a specific physical, chemical channel of
options and possibilities, and physicalLaws enter all the time into determining
what goes on. And the third question is that, it's kind of like a whyquestion, <span style="color: red;">Why is the system this way and not some other way? Well,
there again, you go back into, at this point you really are facing, first of
all, just historical accidents like, you know, an asteroid hit theEarth, but
moresignificantly, how do the physical and chemical properties of the universe
enter into determining that certain evolutionary changes take place under
particular circumstances?</span> Well, that's the array of questions that ought
to be asked. It is veryhard to find any focus on these questions, at least in
the areas ofCognitiveScience that I'm particularly interested in, like Language
for example. <span style="color: red;">What you have is extreme efforts, which
are sometimes extremelystrange, to try to show that trivial problems for which
we basicallyknow the answers and have for sixtyyears, can be somehow dealt with
by massive dataanalysis.</span> And so I could give examples, but, and, in
fact, I've written about examples. But I think it's kind of [pointless] <s>off
track.</s> I'd like to seeCognitiveScience focus on the topics that it ought to
be addressing. Now, this is a verybroad brush, so a lot of it does, and there's
verygood work inCognitiveScience, but it's, in my opinion, muchtoo restricted,
and a lot of time and effort is spent, in my view largely wasted, on the
peripheral issues which just don't make any sense which [when] you look at
them, and efforts which just ["]collapse["], and constantly. In fact,
many of them are a kind of a residue of the radicalBehaviorism that the field
sought to overcome as it developed. I could give examples, but it's, a verygeneral,
["]broad brushfeeling["], unfair to a lot of verygood work. But we're
trying to pick out tendencies which I think are [pointless] <s>off track</s>
and missing things.</span></div>

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">The second comes from
thesilentnumber. What are some of your criticisms of today'sAnarchistMovement?
How to be as effective as possible is something many anarchists overlook, and
you're perhaps themostprolific voice on this topic, so your thoughts would be veryinfluential.</span></div>

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">Well, I don't agree with the
last comment, but my criticisms of today'sAnarchistMovement are a little bit
like the critique ofCognitiveScience. What is today'sAnarchistMovement? I mean,
there's quite a lot of people, in fact, you know, an impressive number of
people, who think of themselves as being committed in some fashion to what they
callAnarchism. But <span style="color: red;">is there anAnarchistMovement?</span>
I mean, can one think of, you know, is there something like, say, during the
day. Twentyyearsago, I happened to be inMadrid. That happened to beMayDay. And
there were huge demonstration, MayDaydemonstration, hundreds of thousands of
people from </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">theCMT</span><span lang="EN-US">, the old anarchistlabourorganisation.
Well, you can have all kinds of criticisms of theAnarchistMovements inSpain and
so on, but at least there was something to point <s>to</s>, there was something
there, there was something to criticise or to support or to try to change or
whatever. But <span style="color: red;">today'sAnarchism in theUnitedStates, as
far as I can see, is extremelyscattered, highlysectarian, so each particular
group is spending a great deal of his time attacking some other tendency, sometimes
doing useful, important things, but it's extremelyhard to.</span> I think what
is, this is not just true of people who think of themselves as anarchists, but
of the entire activistleft. Count noses. There's plenty of people, I mean, more
than there were at any time in the past that I can think of, except for maybe,
you know, tiny, ["]pyoosh["], verybrief moment late[19]60s, or CIO
organizing in the[19]30s, and things like that. But there are people interested
in all sorts of things. You know, you walk down the maincorridor at this
university, you see, you know, desks of students, veryactive, veryengaged, lots
of great issues, but highlyfragmented. There's verylittle coordination. <span style="color: red;">There's a tremendous amount of Sectarianism and intolerance,
mutual intolerance, insistence on, you know, my particular choice as to what
priorities ought to be, and so on.</span> So I think the main criticism of theAnarchistMovement
is that it just ought to get its act together and accept divisions and
controversies. You know, we don't have the answers to. We have, maybe,
guidelines as to what kind of a society we'd like, not specific answers. Nobody
knows that much. And there's certainly plenty of range, of room for quitehealthy
and constructive disagreement on choice of tactics and priorities and options,
but I just see toolittle of that being handled in a comradely, civilised
fashion, with a sense of solidarity and commonpurpose. As to how to be as
effective as possible, yeah, that's exactly the point, what should we address?
You don't have to give a list of severe problems that the world faces. Some of
them are extremelysevere. So, for example, there are really questions of
species'ssurvival literally, at least two, maybe more. <span style="color: red;">One
of them is the existence of nuclearweapons.</span><span style="color: blue;">
Somebody watching fromMars would think it's a miracle that we've survived for
thelastsixtyyears, </span><span style="color: red;">and it's extremelydangerous
right now, so I can't see how that can fail to be a priority.</span> And <span style="color: red;">the other is a looming environmental crisis.</span> And that
is something that anarchists in particular should be verydedicated to
addressing, because it involves. On the one hand, it does involve questions of
Technology, like, you know, can you get solarpower to work, and so on. And <span style="color: red;">the antiSciencetendency inAnarchism, which does exist, is
completelyselfdefeating on this score. [Accurate] </span>I mean, it is going to
take, it is going to require sophisticatedTechnology and scientificdiscoveries
to create the possibility for humansociety to survive. I mean, unless we
decide, well, it just shouldn't survive, we should get <s>down</s> to, you
know, onehundredthousandhuntergatherers or something. Okay, except for that. If
you're serious about, you know, <span style="color: red;">the billions of people
in the world who, and their children and grandchildren, it's going to require
scientific and technological advances, but it's also going to require radical
social change.</span> I mean, there's been a, particularly in theUnitedStates,
but it's true elsewhere, too, there have been, you know, massiveStatecorporate
socialengineeringprojects. Veryselfconscious. They don't hide what they are
doing, since the SecondWorldWar to try to construct a social system that is
based critically on wasteful exploitation of fossilfuels. You know, that's what
it means to suburbanise, to build highways and destroy railroads, and so on
through the whole gambit of planning that's been undertaken. Well, you know, that
means verysubstantial social changes in order, and anarchists ought to be
thinking about it. You know, thinking about it doesn't just mean I'd like to
have a free and just society, you know, that's not thinking about it. We have
to make a distinction if we want to be effective. That's the question, If we
want to be effective, we have to make a distinction between what you might call
proposals and advocacy. I mean, <span style="color: #3366ff;">you can propose that
everybodyoughttoliveinpeace.loveeachother, weshouldn'thaveanyhierarchy.everyoneshouldcooperate,
and so on, okay? It's a nice proposal, okay for an academicseminar somewhere.</span>
<span style="color: red;">Advocacy requires more than just proposal. It means
setting up your goals, proposal, but also sketching <s>out</s> a path from here
to there, that's advocacy.</span> And the path from here to there
almostinvariablyrequires small steps. It requires recognition of social- and
economic-Reality as it exists, and ideas about how to build the institutions of
the future within the existing society, to quoteBakunin, but also to modify the
existing society. That means steps have to be taken that accommodateReality,
that don't deny its existence. Since I don't like it, I'm not going to
accommodate it. These are theonlyways to be effective. You know, you can see
that if you look at, you know, the serious, substantial anarchistjournals.
Like, take, say, Freedom inEngland, which maybe is the oldest or one of the
oldest anarchistjournals, that's been around, you know, forever. If you read
its pages, most of it is concerned with mild reformist tactics. And that's not
a criticism. It should be. It should be concerned with worker'srights, with
specific environmentalissues, with problems of poverty and suffering, withImperialism,
and so on. Yeah, that's what it should be concerned with if you want to
advocate longterm, significant social change towards a more-free and -Just
society, and I can't think of any other way to be effective. Otherwise, the
insistence on purity of proposal simply isolates you from effectiveness in
activism, and even from reaching, from even approaching your own goals, and it
does lead to the kind ofSectarianism and narrowness and lack of solidarity and
common purpose that I think has always been a kind ofPathology of marginal
forces, the left in particular. But it is particularlydangerous here.</span></div>

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">Which gets to the next
sentence, fromBerserkRL. It's a long question, but I'll just summarise it. As
far as we favour a Stateless society in the long run, it would be a mistake to
work for the elimination, I've said that it would be a mistake to work for the
elimination of theState in the short run, and we should be trying to strengthen
theState, because it's needed on the check of power of large corporations. Yet
the tendency of a lot of anarchist research, my own, too, is to show that the
power of large corporations derives fromStateprivilege, and Governments tend to
get captured by concentrated privateinterests. That would seem to imply that
the likelybeneficiaries of a morepowerfulState is going to be thesamecorporateelite
we're trying to oppose. So, if business both derives from theState and is so
good at capturing theState, why isn't abolishing theState a better strategy for
defeating businesspower than enhancing theStatepower would be? Well, there's a verysimple
answer to that. It's not a strategy, and since it's not a strategy at all,
there can't be a better strategy. <span style="color: #3366ff;">The strategy of eliminating
theState is back on the level of let'shavepeaceandJustice.</span> <span style="color: red;">How do you proceed to eliminate theState, okay? Can you think
of a way of doing it?</span> I mean, if there were a way of doing it in the
existing world, everything would collapse and be destroyed. You just can't do
it. I mean, there is nothing to replace it. If there was a rich, powerful
network of, you know, cooperatives, community organisations, workercontrolled
industry, you know, extending over the whole country, and the whole world, in
fact, yeah, then you can talk about eliminatingStates. But to talk about
eliminating theState in the world as it exists is simply to keep yourself in
some remote academicseminar or small group, you know, saying, Gee, this would
be nice. It's not a strategy, so there can't be a better strategy. We are faced
withRealities. What is described here, and in fact it's true, I've written
plenty about it, too, is that we have a number of systems of power, closely
interlinked. <span style="color: red;">One of them's corporatepower,
businesspower. That's by far themostdangerous of all. That means, effectively,
unaccountable privateTyrannies.</span> A second, prettyclosely linked to them,
is <span style="color: red;">Statepower</span>. And the comment is correct, as
the commentator says, I've written about it, too, a lot, that Statepower tends
to be overwhelminglyinfluenced by concentrated privatepower. Okay, those are
real problems. Now we face strategies. So, for example, say, take, say, <span style="color: red;">Healthcare</span>, okay? Right on thefrontpages. What's the
strategy for dealing with the fact that tens of millions of people can't get,
thebestHealthcare they can get is to be dragged to an emergencyroom when it's
toolate to do anything? I mean, that's a real problem, and that's a huge part
of the population. Second problem is that in a privatised,
unregulatedHealthcaresystem like theUnitedStates. <span style="color: #3366ff;">I
shouldn't say like, because it's the only one.</span> <span style="color: red;">In
a privatised, unregulatedHealthcaresystem where the drugcompanies are so powerful
that theGovernment isn't even allowed to negotiate drugprices, in that kind of
system.</span> First of all, Healthcare is strictlyrationed by wealth, verystrictly,
and secondly, it is designed in such a way that the federal budget is going to
be destroyed. You just take a look at the tendency lines. There won't be anything
left for schools, for SocialSecurity, for workersafety, anything. What'll be
left is for the military. That's untouchable. It keeps going up. Another
problem we've got to look at. Obama has thebiggest militarybudget since
theSecondWorldWar. But as long as that is over there, untouchable, another ["]elephant
in the closet["], the radicallyinefficient privatised,
unregulatedHealthcaresystem, is extremelyharmful for people, except for the
wealthy. You know, they do fine. And is also going to destroy everyone else. So
what do we do about it? Well, it's not a strategy to say, Okay, let's abolish
theState. That doesn't do anything about it, and in fact it's just a gift to
the corporateStatepowersector because it offers nothing. A shorttermanswer is
to do what the large majority of the population has wanted for decades, namely,
to develop a sensible nationalHealthcaresystem of the kind that everyother
industrialcountry has, one variety or another. Well, it happens to be a large
majority opinion, so you don't have to break <s>down</s> many walls to organise
people about it. It has been for decades. It's stronglyopposed by the
corporateStatenexus, but that's not unbreakable. You know, bigger victories
have been won. We could go into details, you know, like what you do about the
fact that the democrats have sold out for obvious reasons on even minor
palliatives like a public option and so on. What do you do about the fact, a veryconcrete
fact. There was just an election inMA which surprised everyone totally,
almostcompletelymisrepresented, but I won't go into that. But one of the
striking things about the election was that the unionmembers, Obama's natural
constituency, most of them didn't bother voting because there was tremendous apathy
in the poor, workingclassareas. The election was won by the wealthy suburbs.
But of those who voted, most of them voted </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">forScottBrown</span><span lang="EN-US">, the republican, against the democrats, shooting themselves in the
foot incidentally, bcause one of the first things that happened is to knock off
one possibly prounionmember from the NationalLabourRelationsBoard. But they had
reasons, and the reasons are veryclear, just read the labourpress. The reasons
are that <span style="color: red;">Obama made it veryexplicit that he was willing
to compromise or give up on everything except onething, taxing unionmembers for
theirHealthcareplans.</span> So, sure, people are enraged about that. I mean,
why shouldn't they be? It's not an anarchist position. <span style="color: red;">It's
just a simple, elementary, human position.</span> Well, okay, if you're
interested in the longtermproject of the questioner, namely dissolvingState-
and corporate-power, you should be paying attention to that and you should be
organizing workers on that. You shouldn't leave it </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">toRushLimbaugh </span><span lang="EN-US">to organise people with real legitimate grievances, you know, that's
the way toFascism. You should be out there organizing them themselves, on their
concerns. You know, their concerns can be related to, and easily related to,
muchlonger term anarchiststyleprojects, but that's where anarchists should be
working. And the same is true in everyother part of the society. I mean, look,
some of the things that are going on now are kind of surreal, but would offer
real opportunities for anarchist organizing. So let me take another one. The
tendency in theEconomy for thelastthirtyyears byStatecorporateplanning, and
these things don't happen from out of the blue, has been towards <span style="color: red;">financialising theEconomy</span>. And corollary to that is <span style="color: red;">undermining domestic production</span>, okay? The two go
together. So, for example, the share of financial institutions inGDP, you know,
grossdomesticproduct, was maybe threepercent back in1970. Now, it's approaching
onethird. And, concomitantly, productive industry is being dismantled, which is
fine for the owners, you know, great with them if they can produce in, you
know, Mexico or inChina or something, but it's terrible for communities and
workers. At the same time, <span style="color: red;">it's finally being recognised,
even by the corporateélite, which has been fightingbitterly against it for
years, that there's a real environmentalcrisis coming, and they're going to
lose what they own.</span> So they want to do something about it. And so <span style="color: red;">what they're now kind of timidlysaying is, Well, we shouldn't,
not be theonlycountry in the industrial world that doesn't have highspeedrail.</span>
We should have highspeedrail, a minimal but significant move towards dealing
with a severe potential crisis. Well, right at this moment theGovernment and
the corporations are dismantling productiveindustry, say in-Michigan and -Indiana,
by <span style="color: red;">closing GMplants and so on and sending the
production abroad</span>, or, you know, they're doing that. That's one thing
they're doing. The other thing that's happening is that Obama's
transportationsecretary is inEurope, inSpain, using federalstimulusmoney,
namely taxpayermoney, to try to get contracts for spanishfirms to provide
highspeedrail that theUnitedStates needs. Can you think of a better. I mean,
it's hard to think of a moredramatic criticism of theStatecorporate
socioeconomic system. Here are communities and workforces being destroyed,
while we, while their taxmoney goes to purchase inSpain what they could be
producing themselves. Now, if you can't organise about that, you're really in
trouble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You're not a movement at all.
Of course, should the. Take, say, the workers in GaryID, or FlintMI, and so on.
Do they have to just sit and watch this happen? No, they can take over the
workplaces, the factories. They can run them themselves. They can convert them.
It's been done before with much greater conversion during theSecondWorldWar to
wartimeproduction. They don't needStatesupport for that, because that's the
only institution that exists and the only one that people can influence. You
can't influence a privateTyranny. You can influence theGovernment. It's often
been done. It would take some support, but nowhere near as much as
["]bailing["] <s>out</s> GoldmanSachs, and so on. It would take some,
it would take a lot of popular support, but it can be done. I mean, it can even
be done within the framework of conservative economic theory, which is prettystraight
about this. I mean, you read textbooks on corporations that say, well, you
know, it's not graven in stone that they should work only for the benefit of
shareholders, which means a tiny percentage of wealthy shareholders. They can
work in the interests of stakeholders, meaning workforce and community. And
they're not going to decide to do that, but the workforce and the community can
decide it for them. Those are perfectlyfeasible efforts. In fact, it's been
done. You know, there are cases where it's been done. There's cases where it's
even been tried on a verylarge scale. Like, USSteel came close to succeeding,
and could with morecorporate support. Well, you know, these are. I could go on
with this, but these are real organizing strategies which combine shorttermefforts,
which confront real problems that people face in their everyday lives, with
longtermobjectives like creating part of the basis for a society based on free
association and solidarity and popular control and so on, and it's sitting
right there in front of our eyes. Those, in my view, are the things we should
be looking at, not abstract questions like should we try to destroy theState,
for which we have no strategy. My feeling is that's the kind of direction in
which thinking ought to move. It doesn't mean giving up your long-term goals.
In fact, that's the way to realise them. And if there's another way to realise
them, I've never heard of it.</span></div>

to mind that just grows out of these comments is there's a verylarge number of

that anarchists have always tried to uphold. And the question is, <span style="color: red;">Why can't we get together and decide on, and instead of, you
know, instead of condemning one another for not doing things exactly the way we
do, why can't we try to formulate concrete proposals which combine twoproperties.
One, dealing with the real problems that people face in their immediate, daily
lives.</span> If you're going to get anywhere, you're going to have to deal
with those, and it's not just for tactical reasons, it's also out of simple
humanity. So, on the one hand, those, <span style="color: red;">while maintaining
as your guidelines the conception of the kind of Just and free society that you
would like to bring into being through these steps.</span> And sometimes the
two are veryclose together as in the case that I mentioned, like takeover of a
productive enterprise by a workforce and communities, which is not, you know,
it's a feasible objective, and one that has great deal of appeal or would have
if it were put forward, as do others, and combines both longtermvision and the
shorttermdealing with real, existing grievances and problems. And there are
quite a few things like that. So the question is, <span style="color: red;">Why
not focus on that rather than on abstract questions, such as what's thebeststrategy

nobody's proposed any.</span></div>

Fucking bored.<br />
Received a clapper used bySoderbergh in the production ofKStreet. Would like to buy REDCamera. 80 000 USD? Don't give a fuck when I start. Must study Math. and Phys. first. Fucking bored. Practice in translation started. Plan. Postoffice. JamesWatson.textbook. DVDreturn. Food? BBQ? Maybe. SpectacularNowThe2013 released soon. Nobody has the right to tell the palestinians that they have no right. If theUnitedStates say it doesn't exist, it doesn't, because they run the show. Hey, Pikachu. What kind of pokemon are you? I'm not a pokemon. Light and shadow. Editing. Angle. Actors. Exposure. Theories and experiments. Fluorescent and natural. Sunset and sunrise. Cloud. How to estimate time by the length of shadow. WoodyAllen. BlueJasmine. Clear the todolist. Idea. Script. MyDarkPlaces or LeslieNelsentypemovie. with a woman. Priority must be Math. and Phys.</div>

who[m] you have noticed, as one of the <s>co</s>producers of the movie. I
learned a great deal about this intersection of Psychiatry and theLaw and
psychoPharmacology. I felt that, if I sort of focus on that intersection long
enough, I would have an interesting story to tell. So, I've worked on the story
for a number of years and tried to get it started, but it's hard to get a movie
made inHollywood, and it gets a lot easier when you have people like this. So,
Steven had asked me, at one point, there was another movie that we were going
to do together, that "fell apart". And he said, I like the script. We
both saw it in a verysimilar way. We wanted it to be a psychological thriller,
and he asked if I wanted to work on it with him, and I was thrilled to do that.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"></span></div>

about what Scott did was, While he was respecting these ["]pillars["]
that laid underneath this genre, he was also constantly playing with our
expectation based on our past experiences with these kinds of films, and I
really felt that , at least inAmerica, with these kinds of films I really felt,
at least inAmerica, it has been sometime since I've seen up the film structured
this way, and also he does something that's not verytypical which is the film
changes point of view. The movie starts out being aboutEmily. About halfway through,
it starts to be aboutDr.Banks, and that laid on the top of the fact that it's really
kind of each act is a different film in a way. It starts off as movieA, and it
becomes movieB, then it becomes movieC. I just thought for story, this clear,
there are a lot layers, there are alot of thing for me play with as a

Sound of laughter. I guess that's my responsibility. I think, if you look at
this movie, the movie subverts every sort of expectaion convention would
normally have. If you look at the name of the movies which is SideEffects which
sort of suggests that the movie is about the sideeffects of the drug, one of
which is at turns out is actually financial, you are not expecting. So, I was
trying to do throughout the movie is put everything, turn everything upside
down, and, within the convention in the genre, you would expect that that
relationship would malefemalerelationship, so I was actually continuing
throughout, which is subvert that expectation as well. I think it was more
about the genre than anything else. Also, I don't think that that part was
about.<span style="color: #3366ff;"> </span>Rooney's character was an opportunist,
and it wouldn't have mattered. I think that comes clear to me, performence. She
was about was finding an opportunity, and it was less about the sexuality

I have a question for Mr.Soderbergh. Did you have much involvement to the score,
and, if you did, could you describe the process that you went through withMr.Newman
to find the right sign for the film?</span></div>

withThomasNewman. He was one of the first calls I made actually after Scott
agreed that we could move forward started. But we did move forward, because I
was veryconcerned he would be busy, because he is verybusy, and as it turned
out he said that, you know, I'm scoring theBondfilm. It's a big job. Do you
think it would be a problem if you wait until later in the year for me to start
work. So what we ended up doing as we shot the film in april and may. We sort
of got cut together, then sat on the movie for a couple of months while we
waited forTommy to finish theBondfilm. And any compose, I think, would tell you
that hearing a temp score for thefirsttime on a movie that you're about to work
on is the most frightening moment. For two reasons, one, one being that trying
to determine whether or not the director wants you to actually just duplicate
the tempsscore and then, if that's not the case, if they are open to another
interpretations of the score completely. Sound of sneeze. Bless you. Sound of
laughter. In this case, fortunately, I think Tom has toomuch intergrity to say because
he had to workquickly. He reallyliked thetempscore. He liked the approach. I
made it veryclear to him that I didn't want him to imitate it exactly, that it
was the feel that I liked, which was. I didn't want ["]fullblown["],
orchestral, traditional thrillerscore. <span style="color: red;">I wanted
something a little moreambiguous, something a little moreerotic [?]</span> and he
["]locked into["] that veryquickly. I don't think there was a single
piece of the music for the movie that I ever rejected or have him go back and
try again. <span style="color: red;">What I did <s>["]end up["] doing</s>
is, in a couple of cases, move some of the pieces around and use them in the
different areas [scenes] and for different purposes [from] they were originally
written.</span> But, it was. He's, he's reallygood.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"></span></div>

question, you know, it's sometimes the way things come out in the world aren't
necessarily the way that they come out as a writer. I started writing this
movie tenyearsago, it was in some sort of version of this about fiveorsixyears
ago. We were sort of ["]hunting["]<s> around</s>, trying to find the
cast, trying to find financier. It struggled, and when Steven asked me, I was
thrilled, because, if you can get over the notion that you're not directing the
movie, having someone you work with before, whom you have such high regard for,
who has been collaborative. It was not hard for me to say that, you know, I
would be thrilled to have him directed, and remains one of the best decisions
I've made. This movie was written well in advance ofContagion. So kind of went,
I wrote TheInformant first. The second, and Contagion sort of ["]came["]
together veryveryquickly. So, I wasn't reallyworking them, on them <s>in
parallel</s> [at the same time] so I can't really take credit for any
progression that might exist.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"></span></div>

think it's. I think it's universal issue, actually. I think there's another way
