THE MET LOTTERY, by kjg on Apr 22, 2022 14:47:19 GMT 1, COMPETITION 46A.Life Advice from a Russian Mafia Boss [1:17]- uploaded by GRIMShort clip featuring the excellent Andrej Kaminsky. B.C.Why the Japanese Were ATROCIOUS in WW2 [5:52]- uploaded by Thomas Sowell Wisdom on 22 March 2022This is an excerpt from Thomas Sowell's 'Migrations and Cultures'.Please forgive the muting of the word "rape" at 4:04. It won't be Thomas Sowell infantilising his audience, but rather something to do with You Tube-censorship overreach — possibly an effort to avoid words that YouTube algorithms pick up, which lead to videos being demonetised or age-restricted, regardless of context (in this case, a historical essay covering war crimes). D.Youth of Today - Youth Crew[Live at Tochka Club, Moscow, Russia, 15 March 2011; song originally released in 1985.]- uploaded by Sad But TrueRudimentary Peni - Cosmetic Plague (1982)- uploaded by CosmeticPlague104G.I.S.M. - Nih Nightmare[Live at Club Citta', Kawasaki, Japan in 1993 or 1994, from the Subj and Egos, Chopped video; song originally released in 1984.]- uploaded by TheCosbytronEinstürzende Neubauten - Sabrina (2000)- uploaded by Einstürzende Neubauten________________ At around 19:00 UK time on Monday 18 April, I'll quote this post and add one or more questions or instructions. The first eligible member to answer correctly, wins an arty tea towel. Competition eligibility and answer requirements here*.
QUESTIONS
1. Part A
The character in the video explains, "Sometimes people ask me how to be success. How to be happy one. I have a very simple rules." He then cites his life advice of eight rules.
1.1 Of the eight rules, cite the rule you agree with most — or, if different, the rule you found either most helpful or most thought-provoking.
1.2 Of the eight rules, cite the rule you believe may be appropriate for some or many of your fellow forum members to consider bearing in mind.
2. Part D: Explain the common thread (unrelated to the specific songs) that ties together each of the four items in Part D.
________________
In case no eligible member correctly responds to all questions beforehand, the answers will be posted in seven days — at around 19:00 UK time on Monday 25 April.
1.1 Of the eight rules, cite the rule you agree with most — or, if different, the rule you found either most helpful or most thought-provoking.
The eight rules are:
1. You keep calm and follow your guts
2. Never forget, I'm ok, you are ok
3. Do it, don't speak, do it
4. Have a good team. People with soul
5. Work hard, but one day on the week, do not work
6. Only one thing at a time
7. Do not make money number one. You will not be success; you will be a stinking w**re
8. Keep your word
The rule that I agree with or that appeals to me the most is rule 3. I know myself and I know that I talk a lot. In the past it was just talking and I did very little, or only the essential. I learned from that, with trial and error. Nowadays I try to talk (and promise) a little less and do a lot more instead. Maybe this is overlapping rule 8 too.
1.2 Of the eight rules, cite the rule you believe may be appropriate for some or many of your fellow forum members to consider bearing in mind.
The rule that I find most suitable for some other members of the forum is rule 7. Despite the fact that I understand that art is also about money, and I sometimes sell something myself, this shouldn't be the most important on this forum. But it sometimes seems to be the case. In summary: maybe talk a little more about the art itself and a little less about what something is or will become worth.
2. Part D: Explain the common thread (unrelated to the specific songs) that ties together each of the four items in Part D.
The common thread that ties all the four items together is the 2020 movie ‘Sound of Metal’. In that (very powerful) movie the main character (Ruben 'Rubi' Stone, played by British Pakistani actor Riz Ahmed) is wearing merch (either hoodies or shirts) from those four bands.

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by kjg on Apr 14, 2022 18:33:10 GMT 1, Last week I found a cheap Blu Nulla zine online and I bought it. To my surprise I can’t find that much info on it. It is not the limited edition from a few years ago. This one seems older than that one. Is there anyone on here that knows more about it?

THE MET LOTTERY, by kjg on Mar 31, 2022 22:17:56 GMT 1, COMPETITION 45A.B.Jonathan Haidt on Charlie Rose March 6, 2017 [25:53]- uploaded by Converging Perspectives on 5 May 2017Frank Bruni, an op-ed columnist for The New York Times and NYU professor Jonathan Haidt discuss free speech on college campuses, following recent violence at Middlebury College and UC Berkeley.Jonathan Haidt Tests Viewpoint Diversity of University Student Audience [10:48] [Excerpt from panel discussion by Jill Lepore, Jonathan Haidt and Kwame Anthony Appiah at Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont, 21 February 2018.]- uploaded by PoliticalInsightsJonathan David Haidt is an American social psychologist and Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business. His academic specialization is the psychology of morality and the moral emotions. Haidt is the author of two books: The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom (2006) and The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion (2012).
He is also founder of the Heterodox Academy to support viewpoint diversity in academia: heterodoxacademy.org/
In this talk from Feb 2018 at Middlebury College he talks about viewpoint diversity, free speech and confirmation bias.If any members are interested in the full panel discussion, titled Building a Robust Public Sphere, see here *. C.Steven Pinker: Political Correctness Might Be Redpilling America [7:59] [Excerpt from Spiked Magazine’s Unsafe Space Tour panel discussion at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 6 November 2017.]- uploaded by Learn LibertyHarvard psychology professor Steven Pinker argues that political correctness actually breeds the very same extremist views it hopes to quash.If any members are interested in the full panel discussion, titled Is Political Correctness Why Trump Won?, see here *.

Stitchie - Straight From Queens (1993)- uploaded by LL Cool JBeastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn (1986)- uploaded by BeastieBoysE.Cat Power - The Greatest [Live on BBC2's Later... with Jools Holland, first aired on 23 June 2006.]- uploaded by Ron Jenkins________________ At around 19:03 UK time on Thursday 31 March, I'll quote this post and add one or more questions or instructions. The first eligible member to answer correctly, wins. Competition eligibility and answer requirements here *. QUESTIONS1. Part B, first video: Jonathan Haidt discusses an op-ed written by Mark Lilla (professor of humanities at Columbia University) for The New York Times on how identity politics may have alienated a lot of people and contributed to Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 American presidential election. Shortly thereafter, one of Lilla's colleagues at Columbia (Katherine Franke) likened him to the former Ku Klux Klan leader, David Duke. According to Haidt, what was Lilla's response? 2. Part B, second video: As a counter to the dangers of motivated reasoning, Jonathan Haidt emphasises the need for viewpoint diversity in a university or academic setting — and for what he refers to as institutionalised disconfirmation. His assertion is that, when institutionalised disconfirmation breaks down, the entire relevant field of scholarship breaks down as well, is no longer trustworthy, and cannot reliably be used to give policy recommendations. Haidt also quotes John Stuart Mill from On Liberty (1859). Please cite that quote. 3. Part C: Briefly describe Steven Pinker's example of harm caused by political correctness rendering certain topics undiscussable (e.g. because those topics are suppressed, or people who raise them are shouted down or even assaulted). 4. Part D: The thematic connection between the three songs was just a tease. Focusing instead on the first video, at one point Cat Power playfully holds a 12" LP to her crotch. (i) Name both the record and artist. (ii) Three decades later, this artist would go on to collaborate with a famous English band / duo. Their performances together included playing a song on the same music television show that Cat Power appears on in Part E. For the forum's listening pleasure, post a video of that performance. ________________ In case no eligible member correctly responds to all questions beforehand, the answers will be posted in seven days — at around 19:00 UK time on Thursday 7 April. Answer to question 1.
Mark Lilla’s response to the essay of Katherine Franke was: ‘That’s a slur, not an argument’.
Answer to question 2.
“He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”
Answer to question 3.
Political correctness by the politically correct left that renders certain topics undiscussable causes harm, because if they (the politically correct left) would put existing facts (about differences between men and women, differences between ethnic groups etc.) into proper political and moral context, that would act as a defense (= powerful counter arguments) to the most extreme and indefensible conclusions (e.g. racism, sexism etc.) that are possible based on those facts.
Answer to question 4(i)
The album is Stonehenge by American singer-songwriter and guitarist Richie Havens. The album was released in 1970.
Answer to question 4(ii)
Richie Havens played with British duo Groove Armada at Later… with Jools Holland. Their performance aired on Friday 1 November 2002 (series 20, episode 3).

The first eligible member to answer correctly, wins. Competition eligibility and answer requirements here *. QUESTIONS1. Part B, first video: Jonathan Haidt discusses an op-ed written by Mark Lilla (professor of humanities at Columbia University) for The New York Times on how identity politics may have alienated a lot of people and contributed to Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 American presidential election. Shortly thereafter, one of Lilla's colleagues at Columbia (Katherine Franke) likened him to the former Ku Klux Klan leader, David Duke. According to Haidt, what was Lilla's response? 2. Part B, second video: As a counter to the dangers of motivated reasoning, Jonathan Haidt emphasises the need for viewpoint diversity in a university or academic setting — and for what he refers to as institutionalised disconfirmation. His assertion is that, when institutionalised disconfirmation breaks down, the entire relevant field of scholarship breaks down as well, is no longer trustworthy, and cannot reliably be used to give policy recommendations. Haidt also quotes John Stuart Mill from On Liberty (1859). Please cite that quote. 3. Part C: Briefly describe Steven Pinker's example of harm caused by political correctness rendering certain topics undiscussable (e.g. because those topics are suppressed, or people who raise them are shouted down or even assaulted). 4. Part D: The thematic connection between the three songs was just a tease. Focusing instead on the first video, at one point Cat Power playfully holds a 12" LP to her crotch. (i) Name both the record and artist. (ii) Three decades later, this artist would go on to collaborate with a famous English band / duo. Their performances together included playing a song on the same music television show that Cat Power appears on in Part E. For the forum's listening pleasure, post a video of that performance. ________________ In case no eligible member correctly responds to all questions beforehand, the answers will be posted in seven days — at around 19:00 UK time on Thursday 7 April. Answer to question 1.
Mark Lilla’s response to the essay of Katherine Franke was: ‘That’s a slur, not an argument’.
Answer to question 2.
“He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”
Answer to question 3.
Political correctness by the politically correct left that renders certain topics undiscussable causes harm, because if they (the politically correct left) would put existing facts (about differences between men and women, differences between ethnic groups etc.) into proper political and moral context, that would act as a defense (= powerful counter arguments) to the most extreme and indefensible conclusions (e.g. racism, sexism etc.) that are possible based on those facts.
Answer to question 4(i)
The album is Stonehenge by American singer-songwriter and guitarist Richie Havens. The album was released in 1970.
Answer to question 4(ii)
Richie Havens played with British duo Groove Armada at Later… with Jools Holland. Their performance aired on Friday 1 November 2002 (series 20, episode 3).

Struggling to link right now but Im sure it's easily found. Appreciate he's primarily known as a musician but he's always been someone that I find to be very artistic and can turn his hand to all sorts. The link was posted there yesterday www.reddit.com/r/VinylCDnewreleases/comments/tr0c3s/uk_nick_cave_faith_hope_carnage_signed_book/I managed to get it thanks to reddit notifications but I'm afraid it's sold out now Too bad! I would have loved one.
