I only JUST bought this book after getting my feet wet with David Mitchell's "Unruly," which is a fantastic 101-level introduction to Anglo-Saxon history. I opened Morris's book thinking to myself that it would probably be denser and more academic but much less witty and engaging than Mitchell's, and I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that it was actually very witty and engaging in its own right. The older I get, the more important and interesting history seems to me, even if it's much harder to get my head around than physics. Morris's book is a fantastic guided tour of a period of history with many important insights to give: how a society collapses, how a failed state copes and how something new emerges from the ugly wreckage, how order comes from chaos and descends back into it, and what the overall trends of human behavior are throughout these processes.

Why / How come so few comments?

Well 2 years on how is His gambling going ? May 2024 looks like he’s doing Better than what your saying here .

I’m so glad I met him today in my cab he’s so nice person Lots of respect to him

If Scotland makes it legal for anyone to switch genders then everyone there should immediately switch their genders and throw the whole country into chaos to illustrate how ludicrous trans ideology is.

Always good to hear an intelligent conversation but has this writer heard of Kent State? History book anyone...please lend it. At 19:48 he said he couldn't imagine it happening in the U.S. and making it sound outlandish that it was being considered in Iraq. Sadly the U.S. created that situation but the point of this comment is to question what he said. Am I missing something or is that inaccurate?

Martin needs to keep stuff out of his mouth... obvious props like glasse, thumb etc... Fools nobody

I read the book and found it to be well written. It does a good job covering von Neumann's ideas. On the other hand, the author ignores a number of disturbing incidents from von Neumann's personal life that call into question his personal morality. It furthermore gives kid gloves treatment to von Neumann's sycophantic relation to the American military, and shockingly, the book almost completely ignores the human consequences of the invention of such important things as the atomic bomb and the invention of AI. Ultimately, I found the author's perspective to be anodyne bordering on naive. Unfortunately, there is much more to von Neumann than this book addresses, and a lot of it is pretty disturbing. All of that is absent from this book.

If Scotland succeeded, they would use the EURO (not a new currency); and then they would negotiate to become part of the EU. I am not sure this would be on the whole beneficial as they would lose a lot of the 'Union's Assets'.

English people now regret quitting the EU by at least 70%. Work together we can pool closer with the EU than Scotland can ever be if they leave the UK. It would be as stupid as the English & Welsh were in voting--incredibly narrowly & backed by Putin plus Mercer, Facebook et al--to Quit the EU.

This was a great intellectual conversation.

A Supercycle, how do they count it?.. What they mean, what is it?..

This genius I think deserves a movie to let people know about his life and extraordinary achievements. I imagine him in the hospital bed, suffering of his condition, mumbling about the brain functioning, and having many flashbacks on his life and career.

It was America that attempted regime change.

Helen Joyce is wonderful. Love her, love her words and her work. ❤

This is a great book. My parents were born in the North, my DNA reveals 21 % Scandinavian heritage. The way Brian mixes history with examining ( among much more )the prejudices against those from the north that still exist is unique.Fortunately ( because I escaped the English disease of a class system ) I have lived all my life in NZ, but through parents and relatives been keenly aware of my Yorkshire roots. In his quiet way Brian stands up for Northern pride. Well done.

Going to buy this book soon.

Wiliam the Bastard abolished slavery because a) Everything in his new colonial empire was subject to him and b) All but a few of the newly subjugated English were now second class .. in a form of what we would recognise as apartheid..they were slaves in all but name. Anglo-Saxon slavery was really an alternative to debtor's prison before such places existed

Wish I was in a position to turn MY speculations into a narrative. I believe the Angles grew out of the remnants of the Germanic-descended 'Angarion (despatch rider's)' who tried to maintain the structures calling on help from kin overseas. Likewise Saxons were auxhilliaries- named from their weapon of choice who maintained sea forts and coastal naval patrols In other words the ' Romans' were Germanic and largely identical to the people coming in and had been for centuries since AD43 onwards. Additionally Pytheas in 300Bc describes two distinct populations one was similar to the later Germanic folk the other was like the Iberians.

Absolute Legend Helen....hope they come n get on My case,lol...They are to be hunted out of the LIGHT,into the DARKNESS..

Ok, any « analyst » that use the words « authoritatian » and « populist » as a degrading qualification is a clown or have an hidden agenda. So I won’t waste my time listening how fantastic are the nice and good « democracies » (which btw, even him can’t avoid to notice that their main activity is to replace the people they are supposed to serve (code word: multiculturalism)). However, geography don’t change so I’ll get his book, because in our world full of « geopolicians », no one talks about geography.

36:50 I cringed.

It’s interesting that England and Englishness was never defined by propositional citizenship, but instead by blood and soil. England was always defined as the land where the English/Anglish live as opposed to where the Britons or the Picts live. You cannot become English, you are born English.

I don't always agree with his politics but I'm a big fan of Mr Turner's books.

You guys are so gross

The Helen cult. That’s right center another Cis person who has no idea

It’s called CiS heteronormative ideology and it is the essence of cancel culture identity politics. Bigotedly attack the marginalized group. Way to fit in to dominant culture. Do risqué.

Helen Joyce is a CHAMPION 🏆 🥇 for WOMEN'S and CHILDREN'S RIGHTS, SAFETY & BASIC COMMON SENSE. We need people like Helen Joyce in government, not the weak spined people we have. May Helen be protected at all costs. The world needs intelligent and reasonable people like her.

We need you on the LATE Late SHOW in Ireland 🇮🇪 Helen. Self ID is madness and we NEED your voice heard in a full interview on Irish TV & RADIO in Ireland to educate the Irish what this truly means for the future of women's and children's SAFETY & RIGHTS.

Interviewers volume is 80% TOO LOW. We can bear Helen perfectly but can't hear the interviewer at all. 😢

Enjoyed this. Nigel is iconic imo. Very much a carlsberg political figure.

Save yourself 30 minutes, tim is unrepentant but his mistakes were putting his party, personal influence, personal success above facts, and the benefits to the british populace, he fails to acknowledge his poisonous influence or accept that he's a massive see you next tuesday....

Pro family, I like it

Splendid presentation, looking forward to read the book.

copper is the new oil.

Looking forward to reading this!

No one at Westminster representing England and no one in the EU representing England . There ls the problem

Why on earth should we get rid of guns in America?

Now that the Left has won the Cultural War and is in charge, Its fun to see them come to terms with what they've created.

I continue to be awed by Joyce's articulateness....

An excellent interview for an excellent book

White countries matter. Stop replacing us with 3rd world ppl

White lives matter

They are totally destroying the West, engineered by bitter misanthropic men like Schwab, Soros, and these freakazoids in the whole gender ideology and MAP thing, extremely wealthy elites who absolutely cannot stand for people to be happy. They loathe normal garden variety humans because they simply despise not just themselves but everyone else as well.

It’s almost a cliche at this point, but I’m like 5 years too late for the mass trans trend, and thankful for it. I was an awkward tomboy who actually had a curiosity about transitioning, but I grew out of it. If I had some internet community pushing me into it who knows??

I haven’t read her book because I don’t want to line her pockets. Her interviews always start off with a reasonable argument, with lots of truths. Then you realise that behind the seeming reasonableness there is ignorance and lots of generalisations. Like her friends on the right, she is a real believer of Blanchard, who is this sexologist from the 80/90’s that believed that for most MTF transgender people their gender role was caused by a sexual perversion/phillia. The problem with Blanchard is that while parts of his conclusions work, the central tenant was never backed up by data. She also does the rounds with the hard right and then you hear these beliefs in more detail once she lets her guard down in these interviews. This is all linked with what is a woman, and pronouns etc. all of this sells a lot of books, creates alot of clicks and makes some ignorant distasteful people, the new shock jocks, quite wealthy. Meanwhile transgendered MTF people are sexually assaulted at 3x the rate of women, are twice as likely to be unemployed, more likely be killed by violent crime, more likely to die of suicide, earn 30% below average wage despite having higher education levels than the average person. And we have people like her spreading false hoods. Of course she really has no skin in the game, she gets to go home and count her royalties. This is why transgender people get angry with these people.

couldnt hear the interview..

I have ordered the book. But hearing here that the writer has 10 rules for supposedly fix corruption ? I’m less excited. Normally I’m allergic to 10, 12, whatever step recipes. Guess I’ll read the book still……

The best speaker on this topic that I have come across. Helen is reasoned and fair and thankfully not a full on social conservative like Matt Walsh. Glad to hear her given the opportunity to actually speak, which Jordan Peterson should've let her do instead of droning on and on himself.
