not Berkeley, its Russell Barkley. He's done a few hundred videos after he retired from the day job, but now he's 72 and really retired, so it's back to Google scholar we go... :-)

Sure, the Melian order of the world is something one could consider as always there. Still, how much of Thucydides still applies when cheap drones, nuclear MAD, and environmental tragedy-of-the-commons are taken into account? https:/&

Arggggh. This just after Russell Barkley finally decides that his post-retirement Youtube career is over. Seriously people just go learn from those who dedicated their life to the subject, don't waste time you cannot afford not to lear

Yeah sure. Here's one for the new year from a 57 years old: There is always novelty if you stay curious. Boredom in your life will only start once you have become boring. 6-7 !!! (who here also thinks the true meaning of 6-7 is reactiv

"Reverse centaur" is I think better fit for purpose than eg. Minotaur, as the head of a bull doesn't match. "Reverse centaur" does not say what the head is made of. Maybe Iron Maiden ( https://en.wikiped
