This may be the most appealing and compelling interview I’ve ever seen. Prof Lakoff turns my thoughts about thinking and reason on their head (very punny, I know).
Not at all surprising that Cenk Uyger conducted it. TYT Nation!
Republicans oppose knowledge except when it helps their leading political donors so it isn’t any surprise conservatives are making irrational attacks on Lakeoff.
Remember folks, it’s all very, very complicated; nothing is what it seems at all. When it seems like republicans are screwing you to death, it’s not what it seems, and you should just accept it. Don’t question it; you’re too dumb to know. Take my word for it: I’m a professor (with republican funding).
If one were to be entirely rational, one would commit suicide. For only pitiful self-trick distracts us from the fact that we are all on an ocean liner headed for the ocean. Life is no more than a joke in appallingly terrible taste.
My guess is that Obama has read several of George’s books. His thoughts are all over the way Barack constructs his speeches. But point taken about Lakoff communicating like a professor.
It’s complex material man, he had to dilute it for the layman. He’s explaining that reality is not what we traditionally have thought, that even perception is a matter of our “personal” frames of references. Hence why an Amazonian who has rarely seen straight lines has difficulty seeing them when presented by them. I always had this suspicion but this is some confirmation.
What a snooze! How ironic how he doesn’t take his own information and make his delivery more exciting. When was this thesis made? Certainly before the success of Obama!
yeah the second they started saying “surge” they lost. why didnt they just call it everytime by what it truely is an escalation of troops, surge sounds like a late 4th quarter “WIN”
toos, please do not cuss Georgelette Lakoff

After this piece by TYT, I went out and got the book
It altered my understanding of “teaching”
I’m a physician and studied, inter alia, neurology — His book is written in simple prose; but, I reckon some of it might appear esoteric to most
I have fantastic diagrams and algorithms to refer too – I wish he had included them in his book
I must add that I am only on page 50! So more soon

Yeah Chomsky basically invented linguistics.
Fantastic topic and deftly handled by Cenk. I second the riveting comment.
This is riveting!
all stout men are jolly
I wish Cenk would get Chomsky on.
lol I thought that was hilarious too…maybe norbu should initiation practicing “Googlism”

I like George Lakoff more than Cenk
Wooohoo!
Do you reckon that the DNC will heed?
yeah the second they started saying “surge” they lost. why didnt they just call it everytime by what it truely is an escalation of troops, surge sounds like a late 4th quarter “WIN”
