01) Waking Up with Sam Harris #100 – Facing the Crowd (with Nicholas Christakis)
“In this episode of the Waking Up podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Nicholas Christakis about mob behavior, moral panics, and current threats to free speech.
Nicholas A. Christakis is a sociologist and physician who conducts research in the area of biosocial science, investigating the biological predicates and consequences of social phenomena. He directs the Human Nature Lab at Yale University, where he is appointed as the Sol Goldman Family Professor of Social and Natural Science, and he is the Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science. Dr. Christakis’ lab is focused on the relationship between social networks and well-being. Ongoing investigations in the lab explore the genetic bases for human social behaviors and the application of social network principles to change population-level behavior related to health, cooperation, and economic development. Along with long-time collaborator, James Fowler, Dr. Christakis has authored a general-audience book on social networks: Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives.
“There are certain things you cannot say, even though they are true. And there are other things you are free to say even though they are not true.” (Göran Adamson)
Göran Adamson was teaching Sociology, the Problem of Multiculturalism, and Social Policy at the Dept. of Health and Society at Malmö University College, Sweden.
in 2015 he published a book entitled “The Trojan Horse: A Leftist Critique of Multiculturalism in the West”. This is the story of what happened to him as a result of daring to publish that book.
I’ve created this videoclip as a summary of his story that was told in a documentary I found on youtube, entitled “Swedish Documentary On Failed Immigration”, create by Pelle Neroth (in 2017).”
Cultural infiltration is a real form of attack, with an established historical existence…
…Nobody likes to think, that it still goes on anymore…But what if it does?…Why wouldn’t it?…
…And what do you do about it?…
It’s an attractive long term tactic, with genuine incentives…Some cultures are known for employing it.
A complex point:
I love tiny pockets of foreign cultures, which you can find within the U.S…
…I really love Mediterranean food…
…It does not offend my sense of humanist decency, to see general Middle East [even Muslim] culture expressed in the U.S.
That’s not to say, I’ve never witnessed noxious behavior from such people…nor that I think there is no good reason to inform immigrants, that such behavior is frowned upon and not welcome here.
…It’s also not to say that I believe anyone should evade prosecution, wherever such behavior violates U.S. law.
If nobody is willing to do that…then how do you stop the worst elements from other cultures, from being imported here?
We’ve already got a surplus of noxious behavior, within the native U.S. population…The last thing we need is more.
01) Chazz Petrella : The Boy Who Should Have Lived – the fifth estate
“Chazz Petrella had an idyllic childhood in Cobourg, Ontario – four siblings, loving parents, a hobby farm. But that all changed when his rages became too much for his family to handle. He was diagnosed with mental illness at age ten and was soon on the case-loads of nine agencies and services – including residential placements. Despite all of this care, Chazz committed suicide just after he turned 12. Why did a boy who seemed to have access to best of Ontario’s child and youth services die?”
01) FBI cites black extremists as new domestic terrorist threat
“The FBI report said that the agency previously had analyzed the potential for violence of black identity extremism, a term that was unfamiliar before it appeared in the document. What has changed, according to the report, is that violence has now actually occurred and is ‘likely” to continue.
[…]
DeRay Mckesson of Black Lives Matter told The Guardian the terrorism report echoes the days when the FBI tracked activist groups including the NAACP and those that opposed wars.
“We knew that we were likely being watched,” said Mckesson, a longtime critic of government monitoriing of protest groups. “This is confirmation that the work of social justice continues to threaten those in power.”

“Mortician Caitlin Doughty joins us to discuss her latest book From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death. She travels the world to explore how other countries and cultures take care of their dead. Doughty also compares these experiences to the American funeral industry, which she argues is particularly peculiar.”

(It can be difficult for individual lawyers to stand up against such unwarranted intrusion singly. In consequence, we established the website to generate an estimate of the degree of dissatisfaction and resistance. The number of signatories will be made public, on that same website, within the first week–and updated regularly–but no personally identifying details will be released. )
Summary: Recently, the Law Society of Upper Canada (Ontario) has made major revisions to their requirements for the annual submission for legal practitioners in that province. As part of a five-part strategic program known as “Accelerating Culture Shift,” all lawyers are now required to write, submit and abide by a “Statement of Principles.” The details can be viewed here https://www.lsuc.on.ca/EDI/ — a site which indicates what lawyers now need to “KNOW AND DO” (caps in the original) for 2017.
In this video, I discuss this new demand (enforced by the power of government and law) with practicing lawyer Jared Brown and Professor Bruce Pardy of Queen’s University, both of whom testified, along with me, last year at the Canadian Senate on the compelled speech required by federal Bill C-16.
The content of the now-mandatory “Statement of Principles” has been dictated and will be reviewed for compliance by the Law Society itself: Acknowledgement of the “obligation to promote equality, diversity and inclusion generally, and in… behavior towards colleagues, employees, clients and the public.” This is part of a broader claim by the same society of systemic racism endemic in the legal profession in Ontario – a claim for which very little credible evidence has been collected and distributed.
Furthermore, the Society now requires every legal workplace of 10 or more licensees to “develop, implement and maintain a human rights/diversity policy” and to undergo an “equality, diversity and inclusion self-assessment for their legal workplace, to be provided to the Law Society” (which will also “encourage legal workplaces to conduct inclusion surveys by providing them with sample templates.”)
Failure to do comply brings with it the threat of serious penalties, including reputational damage and, more seriously, loss of the right to practice.
By implementing such requirements the Law Society has shifted from an organization ensuring competent practice to one dedicated to policing political and philosophical attitude and behavior. This is a clear and egregious example of compelled speech, and should be rejected as unacceptable by those at whom it is aimed.
