I was hoping to God that there'd be a new David Berlinski interview. and here it is, two and a half years later!! Absolute treasure!

I just love Berlinski. I've devoured everything he's ever produced - a brilliant man and so eloquent.

I am soooo glad you interviewed dr. Berlinski, his work has shaped my course of thinking about many processes in molecular biology. And he is so right about the intellectual egoism. You simply wouldn't believe the vanity in sciences today...

I comb through the internet looking for New Berlinski material. Its never long before I find it. I love this guy

Always great to hear Dr. Berlinski.....thank you for having him on....he’s absolutely brilliant and eternally open-minded.

Fascinating conversation with nothing less than an articulate genius. Bring him back on as soon as you can please

“Excuse me for interrupting?” Wow! Never thought I’d hear that from David. That’s a big change. I love it.

It is also impressive that he has a direct phone to the president. Even though if he were to use it now, there would be nobody home.

He was great on philosophical and historical discussion but absolutely off in his analysis of the pandemic, Big Pharma etc.

I'm surprised Berlinski isn't more skeptical of the pharmaceutical industry.

Great host and great commentator! To me Berlinksi is one of the few true intellectuals of modern times. The majority of the scientific community behaves like the medieval clergy.

David Belinski, is the Shakespeare of modern mathematics. He’s made it entertaining and understandable to the common man without making us feel like morons for our lack of education while being our champion against the snobs.

I am a huge huge fan of Berlinski's written works. Something about his writing style really connects with me. It is extremely high quality writing. I have read the devil's delusion twice and listened to the audiobook several times... and I wish they had this new book human nature in audiobook format (if there is an audiobook that I can buy of human nature, I haven't found it yet, it's not on audible) so I bought the Kindle version to read it in the meantime. With the works of David Berlinski though, I always come away amazed at the high quality humor that he somehow finds a way to blend throught the books. I mean when I read his book 1 2 3, I never thought in a million years I would actually be slapping my knees laughing at some of his funny jokes that he wrote in the first few chapters about one tribal Chief noticing that he had three less wives, etc, my point in all this is that I'm a huge, huge fan.

Steve Martin is a great interviewer. Loved him in Father of the Bride too

Love Berlinski. Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas were right about evolution.

Berlinski is such a joy to listen to!

I would crawl over broken glass to hear Berlinski in person!!!!!

Thank you ive been looking for new Content from Dr. Berlinski for over 2 years he is a much needed voice in our time❤️

Old Guard: Dr. David Berlinski New Guard: Prof. Jordan Peterson Wonderful intellectuals of our time. We need to get them on a Video Podcast together before we run out of time.

Such a profound intellectual. God bless him! Massive fan from Kashmir. Thanks for having the legend John!

He's an extraordinarily well-read, widely experienced, and independently thinking person. Conversations with him are always fascinating.

I love hearing David Berlinski speak... he speaks as if he's writing a novel. He also speaks with such wit, "All I can say is that, I'm prepared to give my advice, but not prepared to justify it."

I wanted to be a poet. I followed an internist for a summer when I was fifteen. College was almost a disaster, too many choices. I also spent a year in NYC working in the commercial lighting industry, where I saw people who worked themselves to death. I asked myself, what does a twenty year old know about life to write poetry? So 13 years later I finished my additional schooling and two residencies and practiced specialty (Thoracic and Vascular Surgery) for 25 years. Now, I'm finishing 2 novels, one of short stories. I am yet to publish... I listen to these things in between writing.

Dr Berlinski's attitude to the covid-vax fiasco needs to be in line with his understanding of the climate change catastrophe. Both are deliberately manufactured for political purpose.

Does anyone know where to get a hold of the Dostoevsky essay, “Why is everyone here lying?” that he references near the end?

I own 3 of Berlinski's book they are all great.

I love David Berlinski.

Diamond princess….there we already established everything we needed to know about the illness. Interesting conversation. Thanks for that.

David is one of my heroes.

that red phone says it all . this guy is real

Well I just enjoy listening to David. Universal common descent has no feasible mechanism.

I like Berlinski and appreciate this interview.

Always brilliant! One of the greatest and bravest intellectuals of our time.

Brilliant discussion

I looked for this conversation on Rumble and found nothing newer than December 23.

Mr Anderson no more interviews underwater please.

Dr. Berlinski recognizes the Vendee as the "first modern genocide" as researched by the French historian Reynald Secher. Amazing. As a Catholic I am gratified for the acknowledgment.

That was very nice. I took his Philosophy of Science course when I was physics undergrad. He had written a book, 'On System Analysis' which has informed my criticism of a lot of Big Science ever since. Especially the fuzzy sciences like Climate and Atmospheric science whose apparent spokes holes are today making precise but wrong predictions so often. It is a real shame that journalists don't have the basic math to get past the first page and ask hard question.

Thanks David

@John Anderson - You could check a book called " The Pillar and Ground of the Truth: an Essay in Orthodox Theodicy in Twelve Letters " by Pavel Florensky , who is a russian theologian , priest, physicist , mathematician and a philosopher. It might catch the attention of David Berlinski also.

I feel like I understand Mathematics as a ant understands Gravity. But after reading his book on Euclid, at light just came on. Dr Berlinksi has a way of making the nebulous and condense it to manageable chunks. He also most mocks his contemporaries for being too dogmatic in there presuppositions. He’s the Bob Dylan of Philosophy.

Who is the closing announcer on your podcasts.? She sounds like she grew up in south africa.

51:39 the European novel analogy is a good way to explain what we see in creatures today; they are a copy of a copy of a copy etc etc..... if anything creatures are "devolving," the mutations are not going to add some exquisitely designed functions to creatures. But the programs within a DNA code are intrinsically related to the environment, where the environment activates adaptations built into the DNA code; beak size, color, etc...

Excellent discussion John. Why are you guys not running this country called Australia

David e un grande .

Can the title be corrected for the typing error in the name of the video by someone who has that access to do corrections? The title is wrong, but the spelling is correct in the description, so it was an inversion of the k and s. Berlinksi should be Berlinski in the title of the video as well.

Is that the Bat Phone on Berlinski's desk...? I wouldn't be surprised.

Maybe he can explain why people gone raving mad and now really believe CO2 is dangerous for the planet?

It's a shame such a great sceptic swallows the party line on covid so enthusiastically.

Belinski is incredibilmente brillante

I’d say: yes. - Jeremiah

his name is misspelled in the title

It's overdue for David Berlinksi and Jordan Peterson to have a conversation.

In the Dark Age religion ruled because this world was so awful that people looked to the next. Later when things improved people looked to this world as a place where life could be livable. The darkness of the Dark Age still resonated and was responsible for atrocities. Hopefully, we are, and will get better. Also the Precession of the Equinoxes raises human intelligence. See ‘The Great Year’ film which explains this.

Mister Anderson is the man.

Respectfully, Dr. Berlinski's interview, by the incessant sound of plumbing, appears to have been conducted in a washroom. It makes for a very distracting exchange as to be hard to ignore. Yet it goes unacknowledged like that elephant with the 10 foot trunk indeed made it into the walk-up and into his room.

G’Day, the last reset was 2022 years ago. In society of that Time, in which year was the last Day?

Look at that phone, you can tell in what year he stopped chasing the newest gadget.

Father to brilliant offspring.

Insightful

Warning to headphone users, there's a great deal of siren/traffic noise early on in the recording

This guy is off his rocker when it comes to covid and the vax

have you check out "Exposing the Discovery Institute Part 1: Casey Luskin" and "How Creationism Taught Me Real Science 44 Lucy" on youtube. they shows how ignorant .Casey Luskin and discovery institute is.

The thing i like to know before spending the time to listen is if the speaker at least recognizes intelligent design and sees evolution as a poor theory at best..then I know their opinion and world view is worth my time. A lot of foolishness passes for intellectualism and I don't want to waste an hour just to find that out.

This discussion made me think that conservatives are the ones that learn from history, and the liberals simply ignore history.

40:43 they DID see it coming. Research "Event 201" held by Bill Gates, WEF and Johns Hopkins.

What a shame that the rubbish audio spoiled this talk.

Sound on the side of mr Berlinski could better. Sin is the problem of men the bible says, ok we need conversations like this to explore that.

the red push button phone

Climate Change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, though no such things have ever been observed. Ever desert is still a desert, and every rain-forest remains a rain-forest.

I couldn't disagree more with him on the subject of vaccine mandates.

Sad to see he endorsed the injection

We can learned from the past. All petitions are heard unto my Father God. For the God of the living is not in the past but NOW NOR TODAY! AREN'T YOU BREATHING THROUGH THY NOSTRILS BELOVED? Tip of time is thy breath is breathing indeed. Obviously thy lives was DESIRED indeed. Reason why we are breating through our nostrils beloved. Not from thee! But a covenant between a Father God and the son of men. What is existence beloved? My neighbors given from my Father God. Will glorify my Father God made just for thee! Depending of thy glorification. Many do not know the true meaning of GLORIFICATION. BRING ALL THE WISE OF THIS WORLD. COME WITH SINCERE CONVERSATIONS. FOR THE WISE, WHAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF GLORIFICATION? Nor why to glorify the true meaning of glorification. Is like why you do what you do? Bringing the true meaning of why you do what you do beloved? Beloved do not be deceived. For many even the very elect. Can be deceived. The Tree is known by it's fruits. Can be eaten or spit out! A CHILDS will no mean be denied. Come as you are upon the all dry GROUNDS nor the world. A CHILDS with sincere tears and conversations with repentance. A CHILDS having sincere conversations will be given same measured indeed. Likewise with foolished conversations same measured indeed. Reason why there's Time. Likewise time has an end. Is like why the child appeared? From thy own doings and forgotten the true owner commanded. Many wise of this world will say? The true owner is not and will not come back. Even all these same minds forgotten. Breathing through their nostrils. Did not come from them. Come as a CHILDS. DIZZINESS will be removed. Is like what is the true meaning of utterance? Remember all of you are worth more than anything nor everything that exists! Who else will glorify? My Father God made just for you all. And yet to come beloved. Now where will ye rest thy FEETS beloved? Nor who's thy FEETS beloved? My HOSTS and HEIRS FEETS are resting upon 1st. Love God as a CHILDS 2nd. Love thy neighbors as thyself. These 2 Will REMAIN. It will be hard to show off to God without my neighbors given from my Father God beloved. Without you! Therefore you are worth more than anything nor everything that exists!

Lol Berlinski thinks the pandemic was well handled and the Pharma industry deserves a medal. No pushback from the interview whatsoever on such an important issue. That totally undermines the credibility and integrity of both. Berlinski should team up with Sam Harris at this point

If there's a God, such entity must comply with the laws of nature, and therefore belongs to the realm of scientific investigation, or be totally beyond our comprehension, in which case the best thing is to shut up and say nothing about God, for as soon as we mention God as reality we're assuming we comprehend the existence of the incomprehensible. A complete contradiction.

Part of this discussion reminds me of the Apostle Paul's words: 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 1 Timothy 4:1-2 New Testament Scriptures

He looks like a mafia don these days

Why oh Why John, do you lazily fall into the intellectual slothfulness that thinks a Ph.D and closeted academic knows more about the human condtion, than someone who has lived a less sheltered life in the real unprivileged world. I think your conversations would be more enriching and enlightening, to have in the same room, a "David" and a person who has fallen through the welfare net. Indeed, I think the academic would learn something profound, he has not been aware of before.....nor you. Cheers From someone who has been on the frontline of ignored human despair in the West.

I have to ask, why is he *always* holding a pen?

I suppose you have to have at least some respect for a man who tells you that you shouldn't believe him. Moving on.

1 hour 6 minutes in. I have a really good answer. Remove all state funding for university courses such as gender studies, woman’s studies, race theory etc and only fund classical academic courses, 1:08:04

I think this was great however I do not believe he is correct on societal collapse. Stephen Hawking by far had more awareness of our self destructive behavior.

Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

13:00 Then John should read some of Jefferson's observations, dilemma's and thoughts on slavery. Sorry.

So many people get through life with very little physical effort and just make sounds ...Skimming from the labours of others

Science does not disprove God. Science might disprove certain testable religious claims, but that's a different matter.

Mandates are not good. What about those who are severely allergic to vaccines they should be exempt.

ppphhh his covid comments didn't age well

Gentlemen. The sinfulness of men can be understood without appealing to the gnostic influenced heresy of original sin which denies that man can do any good at all. Don't go running off to the opposite extreme. The truth is man is neutral at birth and has the ability to do both good and evil. Not all good nor all evil.

Disappointing. Criticising Darwinism about its speculative nature and then finding the 'loving God' a plausible alternative! That confirmation bias rests entirely on speculation. At least Darwin explained the mechanism with some scientific premises. The God hypothesis is only explaining things looking back with a goal in mind. Paternicity in action..

Why precious your statement? Takes all the strength away.

He seriously attributes the French revolution to enlightenment thinking? You know, the idea that man can and should be free, and that violence is evil? He may have a few good ideas, but seriously misattributes the philosophy of freedom.

bull💩

Berlinski should write a book on trashing Dennett, Dawkins, Harris and the rest of the clowns.
