During this Rising Tide Foundation lecture, the history of Artificial Intelligence's growth is examined from the 19th century to the present as the questions are posed:
1) Is it truly possible to replicate the full spectrum of human mentation with "machine learning" as is popularly presumed today?
2) What are the positives roles for computer learning going into the future while at the same time remain aware of the profound failures of A.I. to deal with certain fundamental qualities of language and mental activity more generally with a focus on paradox formation, metaphor and irony?
3) Why is Artificial Intelligence only plausible to the degree that people are trained to artificially think like machines via purely symbolic deductive/inductive forms of logic?
4) What is it about the human mind that absolutely distinguishes our species from all infinite forms of machines on the one side and monkeys on the other side?
These questions and more will be addressed by Dr. Jonathan Tennenbaum in the following lecture.

Was the US revolution as planned, steered and executed by the grand vision of Benjamin Franklin over the course of 4 decades merely a pragmatic fight between 13 colonies and an overbearing British Empire, or was something much greater at play during the years 1776-1783's signing of the Peace of Paris? Could the revolution have been successful without the international cooperation of republican leaders around the world stretching from France, Poland, Prussia, Ireland, Russia, and even India and Morocco?
How about the influence of Chinese Confucian thought on the formation of the young republic and why did the Continental Congress choose the name of Muslim freedom fighter Hydar Ali as the name of the first US naval flag ship?
How did Ben Franklin's discoveries in electricity play a role in recruiting the best minds of Eurasia to the cause of liberty?
What was the role of Morocco in securing victory for American ships against barbary pirates allied to the British East India Company and why was Morocco the first nation to recognize American independence in 1777?
In this 2nd of a series of historical video shorts inspired by the audiobook of Clash of the Two Americas vol 1 (the Unfinished Symphony), narrated by Hugh Patrick Trudeau and produced by Jason Dahl, we are introduced to the terms of this history as you've never seen it.

1962, like today, was a very dangerous time in history, when the world faced the threat of nuclear war.
But we didn't have nuclear war, because some people found a way out of the crisis.
In 1962 Kennedy sent American poet laureate Robert Frost to Moscow as an ambassador in a cultural exchange, an exchange of poets,
In the summer of 1962, before and even during a part of the October missile crisis, Frost played the role of peacemaker.
What happens when you allow poetry to enter the realm of politics?
On Sunday Nov. 13 the Rising Tide Foundation hosted historian Gerald Therrien who answers these questions and more

A new book has just been published entitled Valediction: Three Nights of Desmond which provides an invaluable dimension to Afghanistan’s story within the context of world history from the first-hand account of the only two American journalists permitted to enter the war-torn nation in 1981 and again in 1983. The two documentaries produced by the duo during that period went far to shatter the carefully-constructed narrative of a “Russian Vietnam” that had been built up for years by a western deep state.
In this Rising Tide Foundation interview, Cynthia Chung and Matt Ehret chat with husband and wife writing team Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould on their autobiographical account which takes readers through a process of discovery not only of those forces manipulating Afghanistan past and present, but also how those same forces took control of American policy making over the dead body of JFK.
