Jesse Hirsh, host of 3D Dialogue, interviews Professor Ursula Franklin regarding her latest book, The Ursula Franklin Reader: Pacifism as a Map. Dr. Franklin is a distinguished author, scientist, feminist, activist, and Quaker, who has written extensively on the role of technology in society.

In this interview, we deal with the rise of techno-fascism and the need for feminism and social justice in drafting a map for us to use in moving towards a society of peace, instead of one based on war.

Dr. Franklin is frail, and her voice soft, yet this interview is worth watching, as her ideas are sharp, her criticism cutting, and listening to her inspires action, so please share this discussion with your friends and colleagues.

  • What a pleasure to have some time with one of Canada's great scholars and philosphers

  • I love this clip so much, especially when she say's "I don't want to tell people what to do but just help them navigate." She convinces the listener not by cramming an ideology down our throats but by respecting our intelligence & by having faith in our own instinct that pacifism is in our best interest. The more I listen to this, the more I appreciate how much power lies in the subtlety of her approach.

    What a great human being!

  • @th3inquisitiv31 The complete opposite of a pacifist is the army. So, to make that solidify said contrast, the army would be clean, since pacifists are dirty.

  • @GrungeRockabilly who said the army was clean ?

  • @th3inquisitiv31 And the army is supposedly "clean"?
