I just saw the first lecture... and now this second one. I would like to note that there is a real evolutionistic rethoric in which this teacher speaks. It is important though that even though all this data is interesting, we need not to think of it in this evolutionistic paradigm and more as paralel multi diverse processes

World Powers. Who we in the west must think most about are North Korea, China, and Iran. I say China because of the Taiwan deal now in the news. as for Iran, we can at least communicate with that regime and its population. But North Korea is an unstable player. Until that regime is purged of negative elements, we must keep our bayonets fixed. But do not fear North Koreas population, only its domineering regime and its little elves.

"Nationalism And War"................watch a Turkish Army vid, then a PKK Gerilla vid. you will see nationalism so deep its mind boggling! then theres the Serbs and Albanians!! and Farsi and Arabs!!! and the Jews and Arabs! and of course, Greece and Macedonia!! lots of fireworks in that little debate!

@froezel We could refer to it as the global evolution of paralel but conflict woven political-ethical-religious regional simbiosis systems. In other words, we need to accept cultural differences when treating the ways of politics, but should realize that our goal as a race is common and oriented towards the succes of the race as a whole.

I second that.
