  • hatred comments thumbed up below.. flaming going on below that. heh, yeah, exactly what mr. Russell talks about, isn't it? well done, gentlemen! (and i assume these are men, not women, going into youtube battles mostly)

  • Some people want young white females to mix with non-white males.

    I made a one-minute video highlighting a very small sample of race-mixing advertisements.

    I love white people, and I am opposed to race-mixing. But I do not hate non-whites.

    If you click on my name “awhitesoul2012” highlighted in blue below this comment, you can watch my video.

    Thanks.

  • @awhitesoul2012 Go fuck yourself you piece of shit.

  • @awhitesoul2012 what that guy said

  • This is cool, however there seems to be a difficulty in deciding which rule to apply in what set of circumstances; i.e. to distinguish between deciding to love someone and deciding *that* you love them, because you think it would benefit society if you did (which would be forbidden by Russel's first rule).

  • Is that T.S. Eliot asking the question to Bertrand? Sounds like him, and they were friends. Well, sort of. The slept with the same woman anyway.

  • Good video, sharing in facebook immediately. I don't think he was the wisest man, of course not, but it is undoubtedly that he really was a wise man. All he says relate to one of the hardest teachings of all time, hard to follow not much as understand. But bleh... I mean is so frustrating to see that the majority of our society do not engage in this kind of learning, refuse and ignore the words of Russell and others, and end crying and asking to god aka their ignorance,why things are like they r

  • It wasn't worth it!!:(

  • Dammit, now i got to find fafefufer1's comment!!!

  • @MrXephyr

    wow..you are very wise youtube personality ..thank you for sharing your intellect..i can only wish to be as wise as you someday. until then, please excuse me while go fuck your mother in the mouth..

  • Comment removed

  • @MrXephyr

    oh boy a youtube debate...count me in..jeez..go back to idolizing this eugenicist and his elite mentality..ok if you dig him..I do not..I have studied his material and too bad we do not agree but that is fine by me..

  • Comment removed

  • @MrXephyr

    put your head back in sand.

  • Charity, tolerance and truth...good man!

  • Not so wise after all.

    I am sorry, I am not going to tolerate racists, meat-eaters, religious nut balls, subjectivits, moral relativists, etc.

  • @TehMorbidAtheist What are you gonna do? Kill them?

  • @detinmartin

    I am not going to tolerate them. Re-read my initial comment.

  • I think BR and I would tear up some pussy out on the town!

  • @RationalOutlet

    I know you're quoting Russell but I'm guessing you dislike religion...but we need to understand that not everyone can cast off fear and despair so readily. Religion can put an end to pain in the individual's life. You can't just say "oh, it's irrational" and be done with it. Living rationally (in accordance with reality) is hard. Atheists most often DO NOT fully understand the consequences of their beliefs. No God means no safety net, no canned morals, etc.

  • @FeelingFreshSon

    This is kind of rant but please, everyone, be sympathetic to the religious.

  • @FeelingFreshSon I feel sympathy for every human being that has to face the idea of annihilation in death. It is not an easy thing to do but it is the reality we all face. How we choose to cope with it does not change the outcome and those who turn to religion to deny this reality do not deserve my respect.

  • @FeelingFreshSon As Sagan said, "For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring".

  • @RationalOutlet

    sagan was fool..and tool of the system...

  • "Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton."

    - The Impact of science on society - Bertrand Russell 1953

  • @Gaelicfella2011 Russell was only stating what is theoretically possible when a horrible regime gains complete control of a people and country. How people can use Russell to support ridiculous conspiracy theories is mind-boggling.

  • @RationalOutlet hmmm...and what about the other quote I posted? "Diet, injections, and injunctions...."

    Please try to explain this away this also. These are only a couple of quotes.

    I've read a 1st edition of the book and it gets more and more shocking. Have you read it?

  • @RationalOutlet

    he was a propagandist for the "them" the regime or whatever you want to call them...this man was one of them..maybe you need to re-read his books to fully grasp what is being said by him..

  • @Gaelicfella2011 If you think that today's world is a reflection of this statement, then you're an absolute idiot. He was talking about royalty; the people in power in America today are not related to the people in power 50 years ago. Also, 1953 was 2 generations ago, not nearly enough time for anything to change. It would take at least 300-400 years for this to actually happen. You're a fool.

  • @seanpull

    you're the fool..it's laughable your statement..drink some more kool aid and keep believing that..what he's talking was written about in the 1800's.He was just parroting what was told to him and to write about..These guys do not think they tell stories given to them with nice quotes for you spout o about..nothing changed since 53' wow..go back to sleep..nighty night..

  • @ambush77 You're such an idiot if you truly believe that. He wasn't talking about two generations down the road you tard. He was talking about hundreds and hundreds of years. Also, he was from Great Britain, where royalty existed. There's no royalty in America, and the elected officials are different people all the time. You need to get out man, stop listening to everything you read.

  • @seanpull

    ignorant fool you are..there is so much BS in your comment..it's hard to believe you can even type..have a tall glass of kool aid and go back to sleep..jeez..

  • @ambush77 So Bertrand Russell was either a fascist propagandist seeking to cull the masses and take over the world or ambush77 is a lunatic. Tough choice.

  • @RationalOutlet

    you got it on the first..if you think I'm wrong thats fine..calling me a lunatic is dismissive. Think about it..you think this guy had your best interests in mind..please, he was exactly what you wrote. if you think otherwise maybe you should re-read his books...either way thanks for the upload...

  • @ambush77 I have read almost everything he wrote. I am dismissive because you have so wrongly interpreted a man's work. No one with any foundation in critical thinking could come to the conclusions that you have.

  • @RationalOutlet

    how can an interpretation be wrong? I'm wrong because I don't get the same conclusion as you from his writing? So my critical thinking comes into question because I do not see it the same as you? now how is that critical thinking?

  • @Gaelicfella2011 Thats scarily close to the bone.

  • "Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible"

    - The Impact of science on society - Bertrand Russell 1953

  • Bertrand Russell makes me proud to be human.

  • when he says "love," i think he really means acceptance or tolerance

  • "Only and solely .. WHAT ARE THE FACTS?"

  • I was about to dump my girlfriend just now because she lied to me. Then I heard this- who would have thought Bertrand Russell would save my relationship? Miracles never cease.

  • A scientist who isn't curious, skeptical and critical isn't a scientist. It's amazing how universally hated Russell was in the past because he was an atheist and a pacifist who questioned so much about human civilization. Only a handful of americans felt safe enough to publicly defend him, including Einstein.

  • Good video. The comments go against what he said. "moral" wise.

  • We can replace the bible, the Koran and all other holy text with this 2 minute video clip. Love is wise, hatred is foolish. Simple. This on it's own can replace the ten commandments.

  • @skywize I think in general the principle works but I do not love the people that commit horrible acts or teach horrible things. Whether I would use the word hate I'm unsure of but I definitely do not "tolerate" opinions that do harm to others. I can despise someone's ideas without wishing them physical harm. I think Russell would agree.

  • @RationalOutlet I am saying that they are words to live by. I am not saying I do. Believe me, my tolerance of cruelty is nil.

  • @RationalOutlet Where they burn books they will ultimately burn people.

  • @skywize ..well said!

  • @skywize If your entire family gets killed by one man, I'll call you a fool for hating him?

  • @GrandMammal do you not read full conversations? The very last post I wrote consisted of these words: "my tolerance of cruelty is nil.". I said that what Russel said were words to live by. I did not say they applied to every single second of your life. I assume you are a bible reader? This is what Theists do. They take very general rules from a 2000 year old book, and apply them to every aspect of their lives. It's ridiculous.

  • @skywize I was only asking a question, not attacking you. I saw the comment so I asked. By the way, no I'm not a "bible reader". I'm a Satanist, thank you.

  • @GrandMammal My apologies. I've been short with a few people... Off day.

  • @skywize Don't mind.

  • @skywize damn right.

  • @skywize To think that you have the ultimate wisdom is foolish. Hate is not just foolish, it also has a meaning and funktion in yuor life. Maybe it shows you that something is going totally wrong, or that you want to find out, what destroys you. Your so called wisdom is a trial to denaturate the human being. Can you tolerate everyone and everything? Do you love hitler? Is it wise to love hitler? Could you tolerate someone who is raping your mother? Ultimate tolerance is the ultimate ignorance

  • Anyways, the world is much more complex than you can imagine, you can not include and satisfy its whole complexity by a lonely sentence. What Russell says is a stupid schematization. You also can say "being depressed is foolish" a.s.f. His trick is that he appeals on your narzism, because nobody wants to be foolish. At least you cannot totally rationalize things wich are not of rational substance.

  • @77DimA777 Ok... Check your spelling, and then check what I have written before replying to the conversation. I said, and I repeated, that 'my tolerance for cruelty is nil', to put it in a way that the illiterate can understand, I do NOT tolerate cruelty. nil is a word for zero.

  • why on earth is there "sleep talking cat" in the recommended videos?

    I love what he says about love <3

  • @lightandbeautiful What is the "homosexual agenda"? Wanting to be treated as equals?

    You are a pathetic little man.

  • @lightandbeautiful i am very sorry you should be so full of ignorance and unnecessary hate. it must make your life so unpleasant.

  • its funny how he we are becoming more interconnected already....

  • @fafenfufer1 What an insightful comment. Thanks for sharing, it definitely tested my principle of never deleting comments.

  • @fafenfufer1 Disgusting. He's a ninety year old man. Shame on you.

  • @fafenfufer1 DIE.

  • @fafenfufer1 oi, fuck off

  • @fafenfufer1 LOLOLOLOL

  • We are the "Useless Eaters" according to him. What makes you think your any different RationalOutlet?

  • @Z4N30 Sorry, I don't speak Crazy person.

  • @RationalOutlet

    ahahahah!!! nice one!

  • @Z4N30 You are a useless eater... You just choose to go along with the illusion of your ego and think that you are some important being placed on this earth to do something great. You are the product of chance, nothing more. For idiots like you, this type of thinking would make them sad. So, in this case, just keep lying to yourself until you die. You'll be fine, probably not but who knows...

  • @CntthnkO15

    Lulz you seem pretty intelligent being that you can draw conclusions of my life according to a 16 word youtube comment. Well, if your a fan of Russell, i can guess you are an Atheist and believe there are no moral Absolutes. So really, your morals and values come from society, suggested and continually manipulated. This Bernaysian style of propaganda runs your whole life. You think you're special and different. You aren't. You're complete paradigm of life and individualism is

  • @Z4N30 You assume wrong, my morals have nothing to do with society. Society is run by religious and fascist retards. Yes, there are no absolute laws besides natures laws. i.e. Gravity. My morals come from Buddhism. Much more respectable then any other religious dogma. I, manipulated by retards? haha.

    Youre right, my life is the makeup of other people's ideas. This is how life works. And you think you are different believing in religious bullshit? No, they are ideas of Jesus or so we are told.

  • @CntthnkO15

    Someone elses..

  • @Z4N30 HAHAHAHA

  • @Z4N30 you mean you're.

  • OR LIVE A GOOD LIFE WITHOUT HAPPINESS.

  • I believe he has a good point. But although my opinion is worthless to a world filled to Self made GOD'S..lol.. I truly believe you should stay as loyal and faithful to whatever you would like to believe. There is really nothing that will make your life better for you then you. If God isnt making you happy spiritually mentally emmotionaly well your looking in the wrong place then.. lust,love,greed,hate, whatever, choose one and be happy because, IF GOD WANTS YOU, HE WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION!!!

  • I didn't mean to post that twice. Now i feel stupid.

  • @RationalOutlet Forgive me, I'm not trying to be stupid or anything like that, but what does that have to do with what i said. I mean thank you for sharing that, it something worth thinking about, but why is it in response to me? Also thank you very much for putting up this video, its such a treat to see and hear such a wise man.

  • @kingneddy lol. May I ask to see your sources?

  • @RationalOutlet John coleman (mi6) he has a few books.

  • @kingneddy Do you have any other sources than a conspiracy theorist nut-job?

  • @kingneddy lol Mr. Loughner is that you? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Grow up you pathetic child.

  • @kingneddy Betrand Rusell wrote 'In Praise of Idleness'. That's some excellent irony you're dishing up.

  • @kingneddy Ohh brother, I feel the power of the lulz coming from your comment, is so strong... must not... face.

    Seriously are you still living?

  • @kingneddy thats incorrect. Bertrand actually said that (contrary to popular opinion at that time) that there was no evidence whatsoever that blacks were less inteligent that whites, and that we would never know for sure until they were given equal rights and social standing as whites. Its in one of his books although I cant remember which. Before you talk about someone you should read what they said themself instead of what someone else says about them.

  • @kingneddy: You're an idiot.

  • @kingneddy Take your meds, man! They are there to help you.

  • Damn hippie! :P

  • I feel like he stopped making sense when he started talking about love and hate...

    Ethics is kind of stupid anyway though.

  • amazing simplicity in the clarity of the knowing of it.. = WISDOM

  • "Love is wise, hatred is foolish" so simple, and yet so full of truth, and also, forgotten by everyone when things get difficult.
