Taken directly from youtube livetsream, so better there with the visual aids, but a good conversation nonethelessFind it on youtube and subscribe if you aren't already Today, I am joined by a Linguist to Discuss Language Typology. We are going to discuss how languages are related to each other, how we know, and why it's important. This discipline explores the historical changes in languages, examining how they evolve over time and the factors that influence these changes. It also looks at language contact and diffusion, which are processes where languages influence each other through interaction. This can happen through trade, migration, or even conquest, leading to the borrowing of words, sounds, and grammatical structures. By understanding linguistic typology, we can gain insights into the cultural and historical connections between different language-speaking communities.We will explore how languages can be classified into different types based on their structural features, such as syntax, morphology, and phonology. We will also delve into the concept of language families, which groups languages that have a common ancestral language. This discussion will highlight the importance of linguistic typology in tracing the migration patterns and cultural exchanges of ancient civilizations.https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar ONLY $2/MONTH Other Links: link.space/@Ill_ScholarDiscord, Twitter, Etc.

Why an Italian Zoomer Converted to BuddhismThis is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast and this week I interview Theravada Buddhism practitioner, Angelo. Originating from Italy, Angelo narrates his transition from Catholicism to embracing Theravada Buddhism, discussing its practices, impact on morality, and viewpoints on gender roles, compared to Nichiren Buddhism and Westernized versions of the faith. The conversation extends to Angelo's critical view on abortion, political, and social concerns through a Buddhist lens. I address Buddhism's nuanced relationship with modern ideologies, debating its non-alignment with fixed political beliefs and detailing its influence on topics like immigration in Italy. It contrasts the allure of Buddhism in the West, its empirical approach through karma, and the vibrant Buddhist community across Italy, enriched by diverse practices and historical ties, including those to Julius Evola. The dialogue concludes by underscoring the importance of exploration and learning in understanding Buddhism's role in contemporary society and personal growth.00:00 Introduction 00:35 Italian Roots02:48 Why Buddhism?08:19 Nichiren Buddhism 20:44 Theravada Buddhism24:40 Buddhism in the West 34:03 Greek Influence on Buddhism39:04 Greco-Bactrian  Hellenistic Art53:20 Mahayana Buddhist Influence on Gnosticism01:01:29 Pali Language01:07:41 Forest Monks01:11:23 Interrupt  Myself01:11:47 City Monks01:17:38 Moinkas in the greater community01:21:53 Buddhism in Daily Life01:23:02 Western VS Traditional Buddhist Practices01:25:44 Abortion in Buddhism01:29:05 Dharma as Politics01:36:44 Italy and Immigration01:48:02 Global Influence of Buddhism01:57:25 Julius EvolaDiscord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarAudio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

Me and my friend Ben, an American Jew, sit down to discuss Israel Palestine. We discuss the violence, extremist factions on both sides, the practical result vs motive. We talk about civilian casualties, collateral, and what makes violence acceptable. We talk about the implications of diverse peoples existing in one country (United States or Israel, or any other). We discuss the rhetoric of violence at college campuses and amongst public figures. We disagree over "legitimacy". Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarAudio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

Not a normal episode. Feel mixed about even releasing it, but I felt this chaos of an episode was good for the chaos of the situation. Decisions made on emotion are usually not the right ones. Don't be pushed to violence. Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarAudio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

This episode is with the great Stone Age Herbalist. Very excited to have him here.Buy his book here, I HIGHLY recommend: https://amzn.to/3ZgpnALSubstack: https://stoneageherbalist.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Paracelsus1092We discuss an introduction of Stone Age Herbalist, or Herb's, book. I go over what some of the essays are. We discuss how Anthropology and Archaeology differ in Europe and North America. We talk about old anthropological methods. We talk about where anthropology went wrong and what happened WWII and after-WWII did to create this scenario. We discuss the specifics of WEIRD. We discuss issues with anthropology today and what people like Stone Age Herbalist and I do differently and the methods we use. We discuss non-free people and the institutions around them and the anthropological position on the prominence of the Trans-Atlantic. We discuss 60s Anthropology and the noble savage trope with related issues. We discuss misunderstandings of people's practices and a few specifics of primitive societies. We discuss the consent of one modern path to success when ancient peoples had many and its relation to patriarchy and matriarchy. We discuss pastoralism, agriculture, how cultures can switch between them and utilize new foreign technology within their culture.  We discuss the likely lost civilizations in the Amazon and the archaeological methods used to find their artifacts and the implications for our understanding of people moving between vastly different methods of subsistence. We discuss uncontacted tribes and how they are really contacted and just have the "do not disturb" sign up. Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarAudio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

We have a woman on the show for a first time. DEI score officially going up. Loved this conversation with Brooke. She recently left a corporate job and is moving towards entrepreneurial pursuits. We discussed a few things including corporate culture and its positives and negatives. We talked about her journey leaving corporate culture and what she plans on doing now with the experience and connections she has. She has a unique perspective and a way with people and I probably talked too much, should have let her talk more. We will hear from her again!Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarAudio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

In this episode I speak about the influences of Globalism in general and a few aspects of life and culture that globalism permeates, like language. We discuss globalism and its relation to architecture and how architecture is metaphoric of greater shifts in our culture happening as a result of globalization. The positives of globalization in architecture, business, and non-places of utility is discussed (airports, hospitals, McDonald's). Those are then countered with the negatives, such as a lack of local influence, soul-crushing efficiency, and one-size-fits-all approach. A discussion about what values go into these decisions is had, and then we finish with a discussion of examples of globalism and international business being a part of local architecture through McDonald's Restaurants and how that shows what we can do as a species into the future for a culture built for humans. Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarAudio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw
