01) DEVOTION TO RIDICULE? Lawrence Krauss, Theoretical Physicist

---

“The election of Donald Trump has polarised the American society on many levels, including in its attitudes to intellect and science. Trump’s supporters see him as a shrewd and smart deal breaker, the salt of the earth, while his critics describe him as the ultimate ignoramus worthy of nothing but contempt. Is there any middle ground between the two? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Lawrence Krauss, Theoretical Physicist and Cosmologist.

The interview was held at the Moscow Geek Picnic 2017

01) USA Votes Against Banning Gay Death Penalty

---

“A United Nations resolution banning the death penalty for homosexuality was opposed by a total of 13 countries in the U.N. Human Rights Council. While several were in Africa and the Middle East, the U.S. surprisingly voted against the measure, as well.

This is not surprising…

…This exact same thing was going on at the U.N., a nunber of years back…The only difference, is that the resolution failed to pass at the time.

Get rid of the registry…

01) Get rid of the registry

“There’s nothing I can say about the tragedy in Las Vegas, except this: some version of that will happen in Michigan, probably sooner rather than later.

The politicians are either in the pay of the gun lobby fanatics or resigned to the fact that they can’t possibly overcome them, so nothing will change.

Nothing, that is, unless and until people somehow demand that democracy and sanity be restored. So far, they haven’t, and the senseless killing will go on.

But there is something we do have an opportunity to change: Our stupid and morally offensive sex offender registry. Last year, the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals correctly struck down major sections of it, such as its clearly unconstitutional adding restrictions retroactively, such as banning convicted sex offenders from working within a thousand feet of a school.

First of all, I don’t know how, under our Constitution, you can go on punishing people who have served their sentence, no matter what the crime. That’s what they did in the old Soviet Union.

[…]

Here’s how you fix it: Get rid of it.”

Go listen to this.

It’s time people finally started speaking sensibly and with sanity, about this issue.

Youtube Begins Blocking Patreon Links Embedded on Videos for Non-Partners…

01) Youtube Begins Blocking Patreon Links Embedded on Videos for Non-Partners

---

“99% of the creators aren’t able to monetize most of their content so isn’t this a huge mistake?: http://archive.is/HUtAd“

My only real hope for YouTube, was to have it as a free media streaming service for my blog [or other website].

As the years have gone by…beyond the ugly sting of bigoted discrimination…there has arisen a wide range of hoops, you have to jump through…Some of them are more insane, than others…

I don’t know that there ever was a day, when you could just upload content and be left alone, in relative peace…I mean, clearly, this has not been the case for us MAPs…

But that is simply what I wanted out of YouTube…To live up to what it claimed to be…and to allow me to be part of the YouTube community, as an open MAP.

There are ugly reasons why my videos hosted on YouTube are so few, and are so rare…as well as vague…

…I’ve never even contemplated making financial profit off of my media…Not specifically because of what’s going on with YouTube…But because I think my media is worth publishing, just for the sake of having live MAP voices out there…

The mounting obstacles YouTube keeps creating, just further makes it clear…Looking for financial profit in this realm, is the dead wrong motive.
