Missing Link News CNN Might be Sued Out of Existence for Defamation
In today's episode of the Missing Link News Show, we consider the humorous news that a court in Florida has given the approval for a libel case against CNN to go forward as sufficient evidence of "actual malice" has been found., CNN will be sued for 1 billion dollars in damages for lying about America's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. CNN's hubris though is just one more example of the same error that Zuckerberg and Biden have also made: believing that controlling what text appears on an electronic screen is the same as having a godlike power to control the universe.

I enjoy all your videos but the ones about Tk and Ellul are my favourites. Have you thought about doing videos about ancient greek cynism like Antisthenes and Diogenes of Sinope?
@randy-eb5kr Thank you for supporting the channel; I am sorry that free speech is being suppressed more and more as time goes on but I am hopeful about doing more things on Rumble. Thanks also for the recommendation; I admit I haven't read these two thinkers before but I'd be very interested to look them up, perhaps in Greek in addition to English.

@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 Is ADHD AI's way of confusing us while it becomes sentient?
Chad you mentioned in some earlier videos that when you lived in Colorado you attended some religious gatherings and i think i recall you said that you knew a pastor who was crowdfunding to obtain a fixed location for gatherings. What's was it about that type of social religious and oration that you found interesting as a social arrangement or rhetorical form ? You're obviously not cast yourself in that form but iam curious about what place that has in that culture and people like yourself that were raised in it and alongside it but are not necessarily alienated by it nor wholly subscribed to it.
Thanks for this question. Yes, that is right, I mentioned all the way back in probably 2018 on one livestream when I was still in America that my ideal philosophy school would not be anything like a modern American university with its outrageously high fees and all the meddling from a bloated and dysfunctional administrative superstructure. Instead, the ideal school would be a group of people who meet by choice once a week or so, discuss a text everyone had agreed to read, and then pass around a hat to collect a few dollars to keep the meeting going for the next week. I compared this to some very small churches I remember seeing back in my youth, such as one Pentecostal Church in my village that was so short on funds that the pastor literally held "church" in a public park in the town and strummed an acoustic guitar and sang with no PA system etc. That guy was of course working a day job as a social worker so he didn't really make his living as a "pastor" but it showed me that you dont' have to be employed as a professional X to still get the chance to do something with it if you're passionate about it. Without any doubt, if I was still in America, I would be working some other job with no relation to philiosophy but I'd still get to "do philosophy" if only on UA-cam because you don't have to ask the big instituutions for permission to do this sort of thing. In fact, going through the academic industry will at this point just defeat the purpose since even the philosphy departments there, it seems that not much philosophy gets done these days.
@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 This reminds me of the factory readers who would read books and newspapers to their coworkers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The workers would support them as much as they could because obviously the boss isn't going pay them to read books on the clock and generally it worked out, provided there wasn't a lot of loud machinery in the room.
By the way iove your stuff man, are you a professor or grad student? I love that you've got Ted kaczynski stuff and Nick land and Gilles Delueze and ★FREAKING★ Jacques Elull !!!! I'm down to get to know you better..lol 🙇🏾♂️
Thanks a lot for watching. I am neither a professor nor a graduate student, though I used to teach college in Texas and I did my post-graduate education at the University of Colorado at Boulder, all that was about ten years ago. These days I am just happy to participate in the philosophy discussion on UA-cam from my new home out in rural Southern India.
@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 Should I read your books and stuff first or Nick Land’s stuff first? Question: you're the perfect guy to ask this question 👇🏾 What similarities do you find between Marcuse and Elull as far as their assessment of the post war “One-Dimensional Society” I feel like Elull gets more at the heart of the matter. “Technique” is so univocal and semiotically athletic that it's able to do so much work that TTS deploys it for... It's almost like Heidegger’s “Dasein”--not in meaning obviously--but in theoretic utility...🤷🏾♂️ Thoughts? 💭
@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 I was going to pursue a doctorate in sociology or social theory but my professors told me--with the state of academia and the defunding of the liberal arts in favor of STEM, they cannot recommend it in good faith. They said you're going to be miserable--you're not going to be able to teach theory; you're not going to be able to study theory; you're not going to be able to publish theory; and you're going to be lucky to make $40K-$50k/ a year with a PhD... And that's after being exploited as an adjunct for several years... Giving up that dream after coming to my senses and deciding what to do next was one of the darkest times in my life... So now I'm getting ready for law school..
@@supriseimblack Thanks a lot for this comment. First, I will not necessarily make a recommendation about what to read first. I will say though that I will appreciate any interest you may take in my work and sincerely hope you enjoy your reading experience but then again Nick Land is also well worth looking into, though sometimes quite difficult to understand. That being said, I must admit that I have not in fact read Marcuse before but from what I do know about him, it seems that he places a lot more emphasis on the Freudian idea of desire and repression than Ellul would ever be interested in. Ellul's lack of interest in Psychoanalytic stuff (at least from what I've seen so far) probably stems from his religious background as a Christian and Protestant, in which case ultimate religious ideals especially regarding the dignity of Man which Technique threatens really could have meaning rather than just be surface-level distortions of unspeakable unconscious drives. For that reason, any dialogue between him and the psychoanalytic thinkers is very hard if not impossible to anticipate, in my own opinion
Dude I don't know if you watch basketball but is we are going to translate the greatest basketball players of all time into the greatest philosophers of all time: Only Jacques Derrida could pull off that Differ|a|nce move. AND have it Force forever the deconstruction that all his peers and all of his colleagues hate him for and are jealous. People want to say that their dad is saying that the new logos is that there's no truth. No he's saying that what you're calling a logos is actually alive and is positionless. Its absence and presence married in a simultaneity But ultimately it has no static composition or form--its formless. And then people are like so you're saying that the new logo says formlessness? 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ He's deconstructing Western logocentric thought even in his prose style just to elliptically give everybody the finger. And it's so funny because they don't get it. They'll never get it. Dirty is like The clash clown that simultaneously knows more than the principal and all the teachers... I mean he'll tell you himself that “Derrida” is a fictitious entity
I want AOC to step on my balls. Nice video, Mr. Haag.
What’s funny is, the system will double down on “economic theories” like MMT before they ever admit that the economy has been propped up by foreign oil sales for 50 years. I remember in 2016 people laughed at Trump when he first started running because he suggested America have an actual economy that produces stuff. People actually think we can just have a society of Tik Tokers, secretaries and computer programmers. They don’t want to (and don’t know how to) come to terms with the fact that the economy is completely fake.
Chad, Americans still have it really good, as far as money and consumption are concerned. Americans are still living high on the hog.
How is the inflation in India as you experience it?
I must admit that I am very fortunate to have it much better with regard to inflation than many in say the USA where the problem is much worse but I've also noticed that the money doesn't go as far as it used to just a few years back and each month it disappears faster than the last despite buying pretty much the same stuff.
Did you actually research the topic of russo-ukranian war? You seem out of touch. Especially about "russian technologies". It's painful to listen to
Usually I agree with you, but regarding Ukraine...yea, Chad, 2 more weeks, as they say. 2 more weeks...
Most Americans seem to think that if a piece of military hardware is more expensive to produce, then it must be better. Iran can make at least 50 kamikaze drones for every 1 million dollar tomahawk cruise missile. Quantity has a quality of its own which is often overlooked.
Yes. Asymmetrical warfare.
Americans truly believe more expensive = better. We spend the most on our military, therefore it’s the best is the logic. Which is dumb because equipment is destroyed in war and missiles are made to be destroyed. The M4 had low stopping power and all these parts that easily malfunctioned and were expensive to replace. It is a giant scam. Iran literally uses speed boats with machine guns strapped to them to encircle these giant bajillion dollar boats like the U.S. has.
The petro dollar arrangement artificially boosted the US economy as if it had been the producer of the most important commodity of all time. The debt load we have generated on the Petro$ cannot be serviced without massive unheard of generation/creation of capital/dollars. It's kind of like Uncle Sam has maxed out his super high limit credit cards and has now lost his job.
Yeah but, uncle Sam, unlike Joe blogs, can literally devalue the currency. Wipe his debt. And create a CBDC.
@@curiositycloset2359They can create a CBDC, but they cannot make it worth anything 😂.
Great Video!
Current dollar supply plus low rates equals disastrous increase in already high rate of inflation. Its coming. Better buy bitcoin.

People will organize and demand Chipotle treat them well, all while their healthcare system tells them they hate them and want to deconstruct their culture.
Organizing to demand more food and lower prices from Chipotle unfortunately won't do as much as it would have in the past; it's clear that Chipotle wouldn't do this unless they had no other choice. Higher prices and smaller portions are just unclear ways of talking about the inflation which btw is set to get much worse now that Saudi Arabia has officially ended the Petro Dollar which was the main way the US had to print dollars at will without having to deal with inflation by selling those dollars to people who needed to buy oil with them. Get ready for the 50 dollar burrito with no chicken

Hellespont is in the genitive form, so why is it the indirect object in the third sentence instead of indicating possession?
Thanks for this question. In the vocabulary for lesson 2, the entry for "apo" notes that it means "away from" when followed by a noun in the genitive case. The cases may have meanings after prepositions especially that do not overlap with their usual uses as, for example, indicating possession etc.

Would love you to Cover Brett Stevens and his Book "Nihilism: A Philosophy Based in Nothingness and Eternity". I think your assessment of his long legacy and work would be fascinating.
Is this even true, do laws of meaning determine, what gets passed on to be tested for logicality? I imagine not almost all breakthroughs in logic are immediately/phenomenonolgically absurd, or so on first prsentation, then the mind has to spend energy and work out why they are meaningful, but it will do so because it's been instructed based on validity which is 'transcendent'
