even okay? Can we talk about this?" Because if you talk about this, and you tell people there's these uncontacted tribes, people have misconceptions. I get blowback when I say, "People can even come see it through the treehouse." People go, "Oh, are you going to bring tourists into the wildest place on earth?"
where we're inviting experts, people who feel comfortable having these conversations, people who feel comfortable disagreeing, people who feel comfortable stepping over that red line and getting bit or catching a blowback , or whatever it is. So we thought it would be a great idea to have those people be on the stage today to kind of model for us what that looks like,
And it's within that Spanish Habsburg dynasty that this program of strategic royal marriages had a particularly acute biological blowback . And the problem here is that with consanguinous marriages, marriages between related families, related royal families, you not only reinforce political power,
Like, the idea that everyone should be equal is just so disgusting, right? And a lot of the blowback I got after the TED Talk was, she would have no career if she didn't have CP.
quote, "Democrats are too cozy with Hassan Piker." Now, is controversial, no doubt, but is he toxic? And how much of this blowback is actually about the person versus the leftist politics he stands for? I think as a matter of fact, Third Ways brand of politics has helped Republicans. Their attitude since the
He shared with the Dulles brothers one huge historical misjudgement. And that was he had no concept of what we now call blowback . It never occurred to the Dulles brothers or to Eisenhower that their interventions in foreign countries would have such profound effects years and years later.
other countries that have otherwise been helpful in terms of pushing forward negotiations. Uh but the the Trump administration clearly hopes that even the threat of these additional sanctions and any sort of economic blowback that these countries face would force compliance. Now at the same time, Iran has found ways around the sanctions that have already been announced. Shadow
France. So, yeah. Oh wow. Yeah, so I think I've heard-- I haven't heard any sort of blowback . Actually, only my grandmother.
and somebody gets mad at you. And we're always insulting somebody somewhere, so you just have to sometimes deal with the blowback now on social media too as well. So that's a big part of what we're doing.
Like that's the hypothetical situation that we think discrimination is in this field. I think if you're a woman, you need to realize there are going to be blowback for that.
My first one I guess relates to the context of appreciation. This really happened. And so that was probably the strongest blowback I've ever had.
It's when communication revolutions come together with energy revolutions -- when they converge -- those are the pivotal points in history. They change human consciousness. They expand the empathic horizons, even with all the genocidal blowbacks , it keeps moving forward. I'll give you an example of energy/communication convergence. You read about the Sumerians at the university in your cultural anthropology course? The Sumerians, ancient Mesopotamia, which
right now are consuming vast amounts of the earth's energy, taking us to the abyss of climate change and the potential extinction of our species. Bitter sweet. Because we can almost smell the summit, with all the blowbacks . I mean, the zenophobism and the wars and the terrible things going on.
And arguably, this is one of the biggest disappointments that I have now-- that societies, even developed economies such as the United States and across Europe, are under-investing in education to such a degree that it will have such a massive blowback not just economically and, as I said, in terms of living standards, but I worry it could materially affect how we engage as citizens and interact
Like that's the hypothetical situation that we think discrimination is in this field. If you're a woman and you do that, that direct conversation, you will get tremendous blowback , which is why so many of the women I know in game dev
Like that's the hypothetical situation that we think discrimination is in this field. are very, very careful about dancing around this issue, and just hinting to it as subtly as she can, because she gets so much blowback .
My first one I guess relates to the context of appreciation. OK, I guess I'm curious are there particular movies that you've reviewed where you've gotten a lot of like flack or blowback ?
I think in an indirect way, that was a belief that Eisenhower and the Dulles brothers had. Do you think the Dulles brothers promoted that someone actually pursuing their goals made no difference, or actually hindered it by causing more blowback ?
Only practice bating until you master it. Oh, sure. Yeah? Has the show ever gotten any blowback -- or you got any blowback from anything?
So it's sort of a false choice that a lot of people put forward. But also, to say that it's a smarter policy and a more effective policy and a cleaner policy without acknowledging the potential for blowback that these strikes are causing is to only tell part of the story.
