The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[Zenman]

Thanks Zenman!   OSOM is one of the most intelligent shows I have ever heard.  I have been listening to the archives to catch up.  WOW.

You get to the Haglund one yet? I think that's my favourite. Really good, even if you aren't an X-Files-file.

RCH is talking about Plato's cave.  cool.

Isn't that the truth. It's fun and really relevant.

Not yet.  Something to look forward to.  I heard the chair in the early ones....very funny.

This show has been awesome. Rossy you are doing such an incredible job. Richard's guests are far better than Arts have been.

We are so blindsided by the fact that Trump is honest, we forget that he is a clown. That really says something about politics. Surprised by honesty.

[ShayP]

I AM SO GLAD I STAYED FOR THIS!!!!!  Even with the archive I love it live and I enjoy it with all of you.

I wish Art would do what most people call "politics"...but it is more accurately called current events.  I think the two get conflated.

Lol. You're fairly up to speed then.

Bernie is a Social Democrat. Not really a hard Socialist.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

How can Hollywood Hoags be in his 70s and be this naive?

[Zenman]

No shit. Honesty now surprises us.

I know a couple of folks who dislike Trump fairly intensely and say they might vote for him anyway.

Yeah, he's like a transplanted European center-left politician. I wouldn't like to call him a socialist, and I'm on the center right.

Rossy needs to book Warren Ellis, and make sure RCH asks him about the universe as a hologram of a 2-D universe, and the informational drive.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

The problem with socialism is the little guy has to trust the big guy to handle his business and make his decisions for him. Fuck that. I don't trust anyone above me, why would I entrust my health care or important aspects of my life to these corrupt fucks that can't even balance the budget? That's retarded.

Trying, he has a super busy schedule.

The media tells us he is. Trump has decades of shady business practice under his belt.

[SaucyRossy]

The problem with socialism is humanity.

Is basically what you're saying

[Rix Gins]

This show makes me want to tamp a pipe with Borkum Riff bourbon whiskey tobacco and puff away...and I haven't smoked a pipe in over 40 plus years.  Am loving it, Saucy!

ill trust the media as much as id trust noory preforming surgery on me 

[Sandra Kristen]

This guest is throwing around the term Socialist too loosely.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Is basically what you're saying

STAY OFF MY GRASS!!!

I'm sympathetic, but whether you're beholden to an insurance company like it used to be, or beholden to a subsidized insurance company like it is now, you're still trusting the big guy. Except the big guy now is not politically accountable. It's just an insurance company.

Muslims never invented anything, not even algebra they claimed they invented. They maybe only here to destroy and maintain the perpetual arm wrestling between the good and the bad or the yin and the yang. With them, we will go back to the Dark Ages and believe me there never was Arabic Golden Ages since wherever Islam trespasses the civilization passes away (Ibn Khaldun).
Anyway no superorganism can survive, less one worldwide superorganism. It’s bound to eventually burst into pieces as the pecking order, greed for power, corruption, hatred, jealousy will always be omnipresent and omnipotent. However, it’s quite disconcerting to witness the apathy of the West who seem too busy to satisfy their own materialistic narcissistic needs and scoff at those “unrealistic” threats.

[=Schlyder=]

Fuck this clown. Bernie The Socialist would be horrible for the USA.
No surprise he's a jew hater.

[trostol]
