Episode 118 - Michele Friedner: "Thinking through disability expertise and questions of access."
In this episode, Medical Anthropologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development Michele Friedner discusses her path to becoming a UChicago Professor. She describes an early interest in Indian culture that led her to study Indian religions as an undergrad, a time that vastly expanded her worldview and breadth of experience. Eventually, these varied interests coalesced around deaf and disability rights, which led her into the field of medical anthropology. Tune in to find out more about her research interest and how disabilities can be seen as strengths and impact one's life.

May 2, 2024 China On The Move Why is China So Big?

    It's already long past time for the USA. All the absurd not so veiled threats by Blinken & the incompetent spokesperson s from the USA Military. John the balance shifted quite a while ago.China would " vaporize the entire antique 2 nd fleet" & they would be doing that 200 plus nautical miles before the S S Ronald Reagan met it's fate in Davey Jones Locker. It's time for John to have a little listen to Former Kernel Douglas McGregor & his factual data on Chinese Military prowess , concerning missile defense and offense.You will be in shock, that is a certainty. I'll guess Mr McGregor is Also a Realist, who knows what's going on & what's up ,just like Any battle with Iran,by U.S forces. Not only is the U S currently unable to defeat the Iranian Military or China, Russia ? Forget about it, Zero chance!!! Nobody is with the USA, except Israel and Idiots in Canada,that's about all , Germany is finished ,& Israel won't be around long if it persists in its genocidal course ,now on Gaza, finally on itself.😮

    Oh yes John Biden and his State Dept has done ✅ incredibly well, considering Biden is a " walking Death Rattle" ! Watching Blinken race around the 🌎 every other day to try and put out the obvious fires, ignited by Victoria Nuland after the failed color revolution in 2010/2014, as the public sided with Russia & preferred their rules & protection. To her credit , just shy of 500,000 dead Ukrainian boys and men " an entire generation" are. Now disappeared - killed death rate of 20,000 monthly x 24 months ,plus the huge # s that are severely injured , destined for a life of sorrow... Shameful the🎉😂 truth will remain & is their & also Boris Johnson Criminal cabash on the negotiated settlement over twenty months ago To include the " obvious Genocide" being live streamed by Israel a State on the verge of destroying itself, currently subsiding on that " Razors Edge". The IKC has heard South African claims of the case for the murderous campaign of genocide with zero end in sight ,led by a military with personal so void of morality ,&Humanity any discerning respect for a real two state solution ?

    America would love to control China's assets/, banking and industries and hold all their wealth, keep it ''secure'' for them, because they are smarter, wiser. and have democracy to share, but, it is the same ideals that wiped out their first nations, still, in2024 oppressing their own poor and colored people, you see, they call themselves 'Americans', but they are at heart the same xenophobes, that moved, across the Atlantic, as the ones that remained, and now backing a nazi entity to take over Russia, '.

    The US hand fed the Chinese economy starting with Nixon visiting China and starting the long history of Preferred Nation Status. The problem is China went Communist instead of Democracy. In the same way Communist China pursuded prosperity offered by invitations to US trade, the people of China are attracked to prosperity and freedom. The Chinese people will eventually overthrow communism and demand freedom. The same is rolling out for Russia including the Ukrainians who are done with Russian multigenerational abuses, and are demanding freedom. All this quite like US history of demanding freedom.

  • @kassfischer5146
    @kassfischer5146 Před 8 měsíci

    John Mearsheimer’s thinking is inconsistent. He has clear military indoctrination as a young man and Christian indictrination from his childhood. While he has been trained to be a war mongerer by the military, he also quips the fair play “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”. It’s as if various different indoctrinations have left their mark on his psyche, but put together they form contradictions. Why, for example, should China roll over and let the US be the hegemon? (West Point military college). But then he thinks Israel is a big bully and should give the Palestinians their statehood in the West Bank (mother’s “goose and gander”, and maybe some anti-Jewish sentiment?). Why shouldn’t the Palestinians roll over and let Israel be the hegemon? Why is Russia a more suitable ally, according to Mearsheimer, than China (sinophobia, xenophobia?) Mearsheimer is praised and quoted by many peaceniks for his opposition to the Ukraine war, but he really is not a peacenik. He believes there is “peace through strength”, like Jens Stoltenberg’s “we will have peace in Ukraine when we give Zelensky more fighter jets and missiles”. This is the opposite of what peaceniks think. We believe that role-modelling non-aggression will make the world a safer place. Mearsheimer wants to make the world a safer place, but he still believes that bullies are natural and should be encouraged. Someone should interview him on his true philosophy. Maybe he needs counselling.
