Chatter #262 - Cynthia McKinney: A Career Spent Fighting The System - From Civil Rights To Covid
Cynthia McKinney was the first African-American woman from Georgia elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1992. With a background in foreign policy, McKinney used her seat on the Armed Services and International Relations Committees to address human rights issues. She later left the Democratic party and ran for President as a Green Party candidate and Vice President under Jesse Ventura.
She lobbied for the release of FBI documents on the murder of MLK Jr and Tupac, she attempted to have George Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice impeached, and recently she wrote the book, When China Sneezes: From the Coronavirus Lockdown to the Global Politico-Economic Crisis.
This episode is primarily focused on the atrocities committed by governments against their own people. It gets a bit wild, I try to provide fact checks, with links below to the crazier parts!

In this clip Andrew Feinstein explains how the global neo-liberal consensus quickly took over South Africa as the country rebuilt itself post-apartheid. Feinstein has written two books on the illicit global arms trade, The Shadow World and After the Party, which is a detailed account of his time spent within the ANC and the cover up involving the arms deal scandal.

I voted remain and wrote entire book about the ways in which the leave campaign used social media to exploit divisions in society during the Brexit campaign. But I now find myself wondering how we might use this situation as an opportunity! I know the Tories will try to give us a neoliberal free market Brexit, but as well as opposing this, I am interested in exploring how we might make the best of this crisis to improve the country rather than let it ruin us.
In this clip I discussed this idea with Dr Lee Jones, one of the founders of The Full Brexit - an organisation trying to campaign to use Brexit to make Britain a more progressive and democratic country. Watch the full interview here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyE8n8gk0zI

Jeff Hawkins is the founder of Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience in 2002 and Numenta in 2005. In his 2004 book titled On Intelligence, and in his research before and after, he and his team have worked to reverse-engineer the neocortex and propose artificial intelligence architectures, approaches, and ideas that are inspired by the human brain.
His previous book, On Intelligence, was an impressive scientific journey into intelligence as a memory-prediction system for experiences and therefore vastly different than a computer. He compared a human brain’s neuron to two machine neurons: a traditional neural network neuron and his version of a more sophisticated one in the form of hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) cells.
Almost 20 years later, he takes this earlier HTM concept to a higher plane and has truly established himself as both a formidable teacher and an ardent student of intelligence. His latest book, A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence, is framed in the construct of how the neocortex represents object compositionally, object behaviors, and higher level concepts.
The main premise is that every part of the neocortex learns complete models of objects and concepts, and that there are many such models of each object distributed throughout the neocortex that have long range connections (hence the title of the book).

Dr. Rakib Ehsan's book "Beyond Grievance: What the Left Gets Wrong About Ethnic Minorities" highlights the growing tensions between the liberal cosmopolitanism of the British political Left and the patriotic faith-based conservatism that runs deep in many of Britain's ethnic-minority communities. Ehsan argues that Britain needs a robust civic patriotism that understands that a stable family unit is the finest form of social security known to humankind, and a cultural arrangement that appreciates that faith is a vital source of strength and optimism across a diversity of communities.
The book highlights how the Left is complacent in assuming they can depend upon a traditional support base among ethnic minorities. With American-style racial identity politics taking root in the UK, the book also argues that many liberal-leftists are disregarding the attachments to the traditional triad of faith, family and flag in historically Labour-voting, ethnic-minority communities. Dr. Ehsan discussed the ideas underpinning his book, including his personal experience growing up in Luton and the Left's lack of representation for traditionalist views of ethnic minority families.
