The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See (part 1 of 8)
4 million views for an old codger giving a lecture about arithmetic?? What's going on? You'll just have to watch to see what's so damn amazing about what he (Albert Bartlett) has to say. I introduce this video to my students as "Perhaps the most boring video you'll ever see, and definitely the most important." But then again, after watching it most said that if you followed along with what the presenter (a professor emeritus of Physics at Univ of Colorado-Boulder) is saying, it's quite easy to pay attention, because it is so damn compelling.

Banned College Lecture! US False Education Exposed, Hosea 4:6: My People Die From Lack Of Knowledge
America is a country that lies to their children and hides the fact we live under evil elite families(WHO CONTROL OUR MONEY THROUGH ILLEGAL FEDERAL RESERVE) who own everything and have a monopoly on our economy...they also destroyed our farmers(WE MUST BRING BACK FARMERS BCUZ THEIR IS NOT ENOUGH JOBS FOR EVERYBODY) and the elite spit in our ancestors and our face by saying we are in debt after they stole all the money and gold...WAKE UP AMERICA!! WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO AND WE ARE NOT IN DEBT!!! .....The Four Horsemen of Banking (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo) own the Four Horsemen of Oil (Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP Amoco and Chevron Texaco); in tandem with Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays and other European old money behemoths. But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch. But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch. According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation. So who then are the stockholders in these money center banks? CPA Thomas D. Schauf corroborates McCallister's claims, adding that ten banks control all twelve Federal Reserve Bank branches.

Zorro Kills Thief in Lecture Prank (with Mariachi Band), University of Michigan
A lecture prank involving a choreographed fencing fight scene, mariachi band and lots of mustaches. Btw, we didn't give the professor any kind of warning this was going down. We pulled this off in an Organic Chemistry 2 lecture, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. There were some 18 people involved between the front and back of house personnel. Very complex, very theatrical, very good, and very funny. Be sure to check out the "Zorro Lecture Prank (Behind the Scenes)" video for some insider footage! This is the original copy... I am the copyright holder. Notice the upload date. Note: we are not affiliated with the UM Patriots, nor any other formal prank group. We operate independent from said groups, and are not a group of our own, merely a rag-tag group of friends. The why = just for the heck of it. Enjoy.

Lecture - Dr Peter Williams - New Evidences the Gospels were Based on Eyewitness Accounts
This is from The Lanier Library Lecture Series titled New Evidences the Gospels were Based on Eyewitness Accounts by Dr Peter Williams given March 5, 2011 The authorship of the first four books of the New Testament has fascinated scholars for centuries. If the authors were eyewitnesses, one could assume greater reliability. If not, then questions are naturally raised about the historicity of details in the writings. Because the first three Gospels are so similar, many theories have been proposed and argued to explain the sources of verbatim sections, as well as the unique material. Did Mark rely on Peter for eyewitness details? Luke admits his use of other sources, but did he use Mark or Matthew or both? What about Matthew and John? New evidence in the discussion of these questions and more will be the focus of this lecture. Dr. Peter Williams. is a biblical scholar and also the Director of Tyndale House, Cambridge. The Lanier Theological Library is an exciting new resource for all students and scholars of the Bible. The LTL is a research library and is open to everyone who will use it responsibly.

Eric Drexler: Physical Law and the Future of Nanotechnology
Dr. Eric Drexler speaks at the Inaugural Lecture of the Oxford Martin Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology. Introduced by Professor Nick Bostrom. Exploring a Timeless Landscape: Physical Law and the Future of Nanotechnology In the inaugural lecture of the Oxford Martin Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology, Eric Drexler explores the implications of physical law for the future potential of nanotechnology, then describes the prospects for productive technologies that can solve global problems on the scale of climate change. Abstract: A methodology grounded in physics and engineering can answer a limited yet illuminating range of questions about the potential of physical technology. This line of inquiry leads to a crucial question: What can physics tell us about the potential of advanced nanotechnologies? Well-established physical principles show that this potential embraces productive nanotechnologies that have the potential to transform the material basis of civilization. This prospect calls for re-evaluating both research opportunities and broader choices with consequences for the human future.
