Ah. Gotta love this time of the week, when we get soak in some awesomeness from these two awesome gentlemen.

Dr. Staloff - the man with a thousand hairstyles, all of which look amazing.

I was interested in this guy. Thanks for sharing.

Very brilliant but Rosa Parks absolutely knew what she was doing and it was a planned protest. Not to take anything away from her accomplishment, but it was an organized effort.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? An unforcable inobjectable.

10:12 Narrative Sentences, Larger Extended Events., PROJECT VERBS
11:10 Fighting a War is extended and discontinuace
Discrete - As long as you are doing it you are doing it
Projected - Even if one is not doing it, if the event extends across the not-doing, one is still participating in the event even if one is not performing the discrete action normally involved with said event. We are completing the project, day-by-day.

17:58 All our experience is of the Past.
19:36 Why did you pick 5 minutes to debunk History? Why not 4, 3, 3.1415?

@25:00 The ideal chronicle machine could be named Karl because Karl Marks history.

Huh? ( Of course later historians have a clearer view of past events; they know how these subsequently played out. And history is relative; yeah, OK.... And narrative sentences about the past are subject to interpretation; duh.... And future events will shed more light on past ones; yeah, yeah, yeah. Why are these common sense observations original theories of history or linguistics or philosophy!?)

Will Durant's " Story of Civilizations" is fun to read, but.... Hehehe 😄

A fourth charge against the claim of (human) history as a science. The drastically limited availability of necessary and/or relevant data, relative to the full scope of data of a given historical period, moment, or event. The farther you go back, the less data you actually have (generally speaking). This isn’t as much a problem when you are studying contemporary events that are unfolding as the researcher gathers their data. Because, they can make predictions based on said data that either are supported or not. If the prediction turns out to be not supported more data can be collected as it occurs to get a better picture of the issue at hand and inform better predictions. Natural systems and processes today function nearly uniformly the same as those of the past (aka given conditions in the natural world result in predictable outcomes whether we are looking at historical data or current data). Unlike the natural world, human beings are impacted by the reality that “the state of information changes the state of information”. Humans systems in the other hand rarely hold the characteristic because humans are self reflective and aware, even at the societal scale. Therefore, there is to me a valid reason to claim human history isn’t really a science. There’s just too many data gaps that are filled with unstated and unsupported assumptions or “laws” for me to feel comfortable saying much of any output of human historical study is worthy of the claim of being scientifically valid.

I think I speak for many subscribers when I say, "Bring Michael Sugrue back!" Dr. Staloff is cool but we like the other guy much better!

[thebacons]

This guy is like when Elmo brought out Mr Noodle’s brother, Mr Noodle.

The inferior Noodle.

Bring back the OG Sugrue!

Plot is causal explanation? Nah, don't think so. Read David Hume, dude.
