The Jesse Minter may be the favorite for the job. Totally unconfirmed by anybody reputable. Should I have concerns about a rookie quarterback with a defensive head coach? Would love to hear your take. I think the key for the Raiders is to just get someone who's good. If that happens to be a defensive coordinator, …”

“… beaten path and you ask yourself, Why is that? It makes no sense. The tenure system was invented to encourage people to think differently. And even Richard Feynman said that thinking outside the box is something that should be encouraged, you know, because he was thinking differently than others.”
“… that nobody else identified. It's not part of the traditional thinking. It's something completely new and they invest in brainstorming sessions. However, in academia where people are getting tenured to think broadly, everyone is going along the beaten path and you ask yourself, Why is that? It makes no sense. The tenure system was invented to encourage people to think differently. And even Richard Feynman said that thinking outside the box is something that should be encouraged, you know, because he was thinking differently than others.”

Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist, argues that scientific scrutiny stifles exploration of groundbreaking ideas, like the search for technological signatures from interstellar objects. He highlights the irony that while billions are spent on known unknowns like dark matter, the public's interest in extraterrestrial technology is often dismissed as heretical. Loeb calls for a shift in funding priorities to explore the unknowns that could redefine our understanding of the universe.
“… an ice pick. Then there was also that disclaimer in one of his DVDs, The Art and Science of Nested Loops. It begins with some text saying, quote, Richard is well known for his many irrelevant stories. They may or may not be factually accurate, as Richard is demonstrating state elicitation and using these states to impart other specific information to the participants. Our interview started getting a little tense. It's a story that I've heard multiple times about you kind of pulling a gun on people in training to get them to change. That's absolutely not true. Really? Absolutely not true. What …”
“… makes stuff up about himself all the time. According to one source, Bandler has said he can hear radar. And according to the publication Mother Jones, Bandler has claimed that the CIA tested his methods for pain control by impaling an agent's hand with an ice pick.

Our interview started getting a little tense. It's a story that I've heard multiple times about you kind of pulling a gun on people in training to get them to change. That's absolutely not true. Really? Absolutely not true. What happened was I had a cigarette lighter that looked like a gun. It looked like a little Derringer. And somebody said to me in a seminar, they said, I said, you know, what would it take to get you to change this? because he had some horrible belief that stopped him from being even decent to other people. And he said, the only thing that would change me …”

“… You want to say, OK, do we need to revisit any of our goals or any of our means because of what we've learned en route? We've been talking, Richard Haass, about planning, about the run up to a war, what in an ideal world it looks like. I guess here we are a week and a half into this latest war in the Middle East. We are where we are. Does the planning matter at this point, how we got here? Because shouldn't we be looking forward? Fair enough. I think the question now is on the conduct of the war and the grounds for war termination. That's the big conversation this administration ought to be …”
“… Now, the president may say, I hear it. I disagree. We've made a decision or we're going to make a decision. Let's march forward. Fine. Then what you want to have, though, is a way to revisit assumptions as you implement. You don't want to go on autopilot.

I think the question now is on the conduct of the war and the grounds for war termination. That's the big conversation this administration ought to be having. What's good enough? What are we prepared to fight for? Where do we maybe have to consider compromising? How, by the way, do we get Israel and Iran on that page then? It only takes one to start a war. In this case, it's going to take three to end a war. Well, how should then our goals now reflect or affect how it is we fight this war? Has it …”

“… I mean, this is my hottest take. You want to do it now? Go. He's two movie choices away from being in the Mel Gibson, Michael Douglas, Jeff Bridges, Richard Gere, Bruce Willis. Should we go through that? I mean, it's those two movies. He does those two movies. And if he doesn't do them and just does almost anything else in 86 and 87, and then makes one choice, maybe two in 89 and 90 he probably in the mel gibson zone in terms of how famous he is well i give you the choices He turned down Henry Hill in Goodfellas Allegedly Allegedly Tough one He turned it down to do Young Guns 2 And to do a …”

You don't like it? No, I do. I mean, this is my hottest take. You want to do it now? Go.

He did play Pat Garrett. Kennedy's miniseries he did as well. He also, so he turned down a major role in Heat. Multiple sources, but I don't know what role it was. And it's a great question of what role would he have turned down. I would assume it's the John Voight? Yeah. or Fickner or I can't see him. He's Roger Van Zandt. Yeah, but …”

William L. Petersen could have been a major Hollywood star, but his career choices led him down a different path. He turned down iconic roles in 'Goodfellas,' 'Heat,' and 'Platoon' for lesser-known projects, which may have kept him from the fame of contemporaries like Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis. This segment explores the impact of those decisions on his trajectory in the film industry.

Any one of these kind of incidents that turns it from a war where the leaders think they know what their objectives are into one that is very hard to control and becomes emotional and self-sustaining.

Ambassador, I wanted to get your reaction to this news we're getting out of Jerusalem with those missile fragments that are impacting the old city. What's your reaction to that? Well, not surprised. Just two days ago, missiles from Iran hit very close to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Now they've hit very close to the Dome of the Rock. They don't care where these missiles are hitting. They try to kill as many people as possible. and damage sites that are holy both to Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Ambassador, …”
