And of course you can think of that you want to take Under the Sun probably has some representation and skillshare through instructors the high quality videos teach you everything in the privacy of your own home. I wanted to test skillshare by giving them something I felt very uncomfortable with namely interior design. I always notice when I'm in it somebody else's home. It isn't just a collection of interesting objects, but it somehow beautifully pulled together. So I came up with a course on the site talk by Emily Henderson called style your space creative tips and techniques for interior design and sure enough. She explains sort of the rigmarole or theory behind pulling a house together visually to create a coherent space. I'm glad I did and it's probably not something I would have been comfortable doing if it wasn't in the privacy of my own home now still shares a proud sponsor the portal so you can explore your creativity at skillshare.com portal and get two free months of Premier membership. | |||

with respect a new sponsor Fender play. I'm really curious what took you guys so long. Look I've been playing Fender guitars to Fender amps for 24 years. I'm addicted to your product. You don't send me a Telecaster you send me some relatively tame ad copy or what gives now with Fender play. Yes, you can Master chord songs techniques. You can track your progress in the at blah blah blah. You can share your success you can connect to real teachers, but that's not what's really going on. You need to play and share music with other people in order to fully experience what it's like to be a human being on this planet. We lost chest to the computers. We lost the game of go to the computers but music is still the operating system for the human heart. And if you're going to break some hearts, you're going to need to learn how to play music and it's going to make everybody better off. So we have an incredible deal for our listeners new members can try Fender play free for two weeks and save 50% off a fender play annual plan. The only way they can take advantage of this is to go to fender.com podcast and use the special offer code portal at checkout. It's fender.com podcast using the checkout code portal, but this offer is only available for a limited time, but most importantly you need to get started playing music in order to fully experience what it's like to be a human being and I think this is a great way to do it from one of our best companies. | |||
===Idea Suppression=== | |||
00:23:48 Let's talk about some aspects of ideas suppression the two stories that I'm following most closely and we can date this particular Episode by talking about current events that I can gets fine the two stories. I'm following most closely with interest from the perspective of understanding the disc are the story of Andrew Yang and the media and the story of Jeffrey Epstein and his recent demise. | 00:23:48 Let's talk about some aspects of ideas suppression the two stories that I'm following most closely and we can date this particular Episode by talking about current events that I can gets fine the two stories.

00:24:52 In all of these cases, we see a very bizarre behavior inside of the news media. That is that when the candidate starts to gain traction with the public. They become left off of lists. They become misreported very often a reporter will stand in front of the graphic that has that particular candidate alongside others, and we don't really know why this is occurring. We don't know how these instructions are going out but in the case of Andrew Yang because this is taking place in a highly connected internet. We have people chronicling all of the Myriad ways in which Andrew Yang's candidacies distorted in particular there appears to be a different level of distortion taking place at one particular news media Outlet. | 00:24:52 In all of these cases, we see a very bizarre behavior inside of the news media.

====Andrew Yang==== | |||
Now in the case of Andrew Yang, key question would be why aren't the regular news media and the competing news media reporting on the outsides effort being made to make sure that Andrew does not appear normally with other candidates in this Democratic primary. | |||
00:26:14 It doesn't make logical sense. If you believe that the principal reason for reporting on the election is to make sure that the voters have an early opportunity to your all voices and begin to make their decisions rather than immediately trying to pick a narrative about FrontRunner who are always taken to be inevitable. That's a conserved feature of this bizarre election coverage cycle after cycle. So the first thing I want to do is recommend that you Google MSNBC and Andrew Yang and yang media blackout and look at the impressive data set that has been collected which shows a singular Focus that can be inferred from the data on Andrew Yang now to an extent. This is also happened with Tulsi gabbard to an extent. This is there's been some carryover from Bernie Sanders, but Bernie Sanders showing in 2016 was so strong the same games that were applied to Sanders then cannot easily be a play. | 00:26:14 It doesn't make logical sense.

00:27:14 Right now but the key question we have is why is the news media spending so much on one candidate who doesn't appear to be that large to keep that candidate from growing. I think this is an interesting topic and what it has to do with is making maps of Silence now through the efforts of danah Boyd and the data and Society group. We learned about a Doctrine called strategic silence and that is that there are certain things that the media may not want to happen and therefore rather than simply reporting the facts of the matter. They make editorial decisions. So as not to give fodder or fuel for some undesirable outcome now, we can partially understand that in the case of CopyCat killings out of after let's say gun massacres, but it's much harder to understand why somebody coming from outside of the political system would be treated to something like strategic silence or strategic distortion. | 00:27:14 Right now but the key question we have is why is the news media spending so much on one candidate who doesn't appear to be that large to keep that candidate from growing.

00:28:14 What we need to do is to have a better understanding of the maps of silence and maps of distortion that take place in our press and what Andrew has done that is special and unique is it he's given us a very large in for a dataset. We now have enough and different incidents of this that we can begin to piece together what make might be inferred from this very bizarre behavior example of this that I find fascinating is the death of Jeffrey Epstein now, you'll hear a lot of other people say what I've seen didn't kill himself or it's obviously this was obviously that I have a decidedly smaller interest in those questions questions that fascinate me have to do not with Epstein not with who might have killed him whether he died by his own hand if they have to deal with the sense-making apparatus that is the news media. | 00:28:14 What we need to do is to have a better understanding of the maps of silence and maps of distortion that take place in our press and what Andrew has done that is special and unique is it he's given us a very large in for a dataset.

====Jeffrey Epstein==== | |||
An example of this that I find fascinating is the death of Jeffrey Epstein now, you'll hear a lot of other people say what I've seen didn't kill himself or it's obviously this was obviously that I have a decidedly smaller interest in those questions questions that fascinate me have to do not with Epstein not with who might have killed him whether he died by his own hand if they have to deal with the sense-making apparatus that is the news media. | |||
00:29:06 Around this untimely exit from our world. Now, Jeffrey Epstein was accused of trafficking and had a very bizarre life that is difficult for many of us understand where you got a slap on the wrist in Florida and appeared to operate with impunity even after his conviction in Florida as a sex offender. | 00:29:06 Around this untimely exit from our world.

00:29:52 When is the question arises? | 00:29:52 When is the question arises? | ||
00:29:55 Let's say in this case does Jeffrey Epstein have any ties to any known intelligence community that question can be asked let's say to the CIA to the state department to the NSA and you might expect that you get an answer. Absolutely. This person had no ties because the the idea of the intelligence agencies being connected to a known sex trafficker seems Preposterous at one level, but you can also imagine that they'd get no comment. Now, we don't even have that in the situation. You can go I think I did this fairly recently with the New York Times and try to Simply use their own search engine. Have you asked the question whether Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the intelligence agencies the other questions that arise in this case our winner is the last known recording of gullane Maxwell's passport crossing the border.

Have you asked the question whether Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the intelligence agencies the other questions that arise in this case our winner is the last known recording of gullane Maxwell's passport crossing the border. This is a simple factual question a reporter would be dispatched it would call if somebody like Interpol. They would try to find out whether people would speak about it or not speak about it under any circumstances. They would be able to print an interesting story. For example, Interpol has no comment or Interpol says that the last recorded border where gullane Maxwell's passport showed up. Was you no border crossing in New York City. | ||

Another such question is if Jeffrey Epstein's Fortune came from currency trading, where are the records from his office in Villard house in Manhattan. | ||
00:31:41 He had a very large office in a trophy property on the island of Manhattan and to the best of my knowledge. I have seen no printed discussion of where the supposed trading records of this person who seemed to a mass of Fortune. Another weird thing about this Fortune is this that he seemed to live life as a high 11 figure individual owning islands and incredible properties in multiple Jets and yet all of the assets I've seen accounted for puts him instead in nine-figure territory. Now that's two orders of magnitude different and I don't think that there are many nine-figure Rich who would live anything like Jeffrey Epstein's lifestyle. It appears that most of the assets were put towards the kind of front if you want. | 00:31:41 He had a very large office in a trophy property on the island of Manhattan and to the best of my knowledge.

00:33:44 With a little bit of poetic Liberty this seems to be what something Paul Simon was talking about in Sounds of Silence when we're listening for now are the silences where else are we confronted with Silo? What are the other things we would expect where we don't hear particular ideas. Now, obviously you have a situation where I've been talking for quite some time about the idea that there are many reasons that one might ask to restrict immigration the Sierra Club used to support a restriction of immigration Farm Workers unions used to support restrictions on immigration, but sometime in the fairly recent past it became a an easy fix of the elite that the only reason for supporting a restriction in Immigration. The only possible reason could be that you were is that a phobic and probably racist | 00:33:44 With a little bit of poetic Liberty this seems to be what something Paul Simon was talking about in Sounds of Silence when we're listening for now are the silences where else are we confronted with Silo?

00:34:34 Now I don't exactly know where these ideas came from. But I know that these ideas are prime Aphasia and Preposterous they make no sense. And so I've been talking for some time about where are the media willing to discuss all of the reasons that one might want to restrict immigration having nothing to do with xenophobia. The so-called xenophilic restriction is perspective. This is another place where there is no public discussion. We have no idea why so once you begin to look for these silences these gaps you start to become your other terrified that somehow the world is not behaving properly and that's one of the reasons that people are flocking to this podcast. | 00:34:34 Now I don't exactly know where these ideas came from.

00:35:56 What some of you don't know is that I believe that inside of that group of four one of us wrote a book immediately after getting a Ph.D. Which is Heather heying book antipode about her solo travels to the jungles of Madagascar. So if you have a young woman in your life was looking for pretty impressive female role model. I would say Heather's that toughness and intelligence and grit mix were pretty terrific reading. I'd recommend buying the book antipode for that for that young lady. | 00:35:56 What some of you don't know is that I believe that inside of that group of four one of us wrote a book immediately after getting a Ph.D. Which is Heather heying book antipode about her solo travels to the jungles of Madagascar.
