Between You and I the English Language is Going to the Dogs Intelligence Squared 2014-03-14 | Want to join the debate? Check out the Intelligence Squared website to hear about future live events and podcasts: http://www.intelligencesquared.com __________________________http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/between-you-and-i-the-english-language-is-going-to-the-dogsFilmed at the Royal Geographical Society on 5th March 2014.The English language is going to the dogs. "Between you and I" is just one of the howlers those of us with linguistic sensibilities have to endure. The distinctions between words such as 'infer' and 'imply', and 'uninterested' and 'disinterested' are disappearing. Americanisms such as 'gotten', 'different than' and 'can I get..?' abound. Every office resounds with horrible new jargon such as 'going forward', 'deliverables', 'touch base' and 'heads up'. Infinitives are split, participles dangle. Language is based on established practice and rules. When the rules are continually (and that isn't continuously) broken, the language suffers and those who care suffer too.That's the line taken by the so-called sticklers in this debate, but they are mistaken according to laissez faire linguists. English wasn't set in stone by 19th-century grammarians -- the kind who decreed it's wrong to split an infinitive in English just because you can't in Latin. Language changes but that doesn't mean it's in decline. Traditionalists may argue that digital technology has a pernicious effect on language, but in fact children who text a lot have higher rates of literacy. And it's hard to deny that Facebook, Twitter and email have enriched the expressiveness of our language: ten years ago who could have written "OMG he's RTd my selfie!!"

Why China’s Cultural Revolution Still Matters with Tania Branigan | Intelligence Squared Intelligence Squared 2023-03-04 | More than fifty years on, the scars of Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution still run through the heart of Chinese society, and through the souls of its citizens. Stationed in Beijing for the Guardian, Tania Branigan came to realise that this brutal and turbulent decade continues to propel and shape China to this day. Yet the official suppression of information about the state-sanctioned violence which took place and the personal trauma of those affected have conspired to create a national amnesia: it exists, for the most part, as an absence.On Tuesday February 7, Branigan joined former BBC China editor Carrie Grace to explore the stories of those who are driven to confront this dark period in China’s history and why they fear its return. Drawing on her new book Red Memory, Branigan asks what happens to a society when you can no longer trust those closest to you. What happens to the present when the past is buried, exploited or redrawn? And how do you live with yourself when the worst is over?✅ Click on this link to subscribe: youtube.com/user/iqsquared?sub_confirmation=1Intelligence Squared has established itself as the leading forum for live, agenda-setting debates, talks and discussions around the world.

Resetting the Conversation on Race - Coleman Hughes and Kenan Malik | Intelligence Squared Intelligence Squared 2023-02-25 | Does the conversation on race need a reset?Coleman Hughes and Kenan Malik sat down with Intelligence Squared to explore this question in January 2023. Hughes is an acclaimed American writer and podcast host. In 2019 at the age of 23 he testified before Congress against reparations for slavery and has roundly criticised the work of other Black writers on race such as Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. In his view, their brand of anti-racism encourages a sense of victimhood among Black Americans and sows division between different racial groups. Malik is a British author and broadcaster, whose new book Not So Black and White explores the history of the idea of race and invites us to challenge many of the assumptions behind today’s culture wars. Are Black or Asian people who are conservative or don’t fit the script in some other way not really Black or Asian but straining to be white, as some anti-racists suggest? Do the current conversations about race hide the reality of class-based injustice? Can we ultimately free ourselves from racial categories while also ridding society of racism?Join these two original thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic for a conversation on one of the most important issues of our times.✅ Click on this link to subscribe: youtube.com/user/iqsquared?sub_confirmation=1Intelligence Squared has established itself as the leading forum for live, agenda-setting debates, talks and discussions around the world.

Faces of Britain: A Conversation on Race, Power and Art | Harewood House and Intelligence Squared Intelligence Squared 2023-02-17 | Intelligence Squared and Harewood House joined forces for this in-person event to explore the power of portraiture in representing Britain’s complex history. In a conversation chaired by author Yassmin Abdel-Magied, pannellists Dr Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, journalist Moya Lothian-McLean, artist Thomas J Price, and the Earl of Harewood David Lascelles explore questions such as: ‘Why does portraiture matter?’, ‘What are the challenges in unearthing stories that have been buried for so long?’, and ‘How do we move beyond token representation to something more meaningful?’ The event took place to coincide with the recent launch of Missing Portraits, a new series commissioned by the Earl and Countess of Harewood, David Lascelles and Diane Howse, which will become part of the permanent collection at Harewood House. The series will depict people of Afro-Caribbean heritage with a connection to Harewood or the Lascelles family, in order to address the historic lack of diversity in Harewood’s vast art collection. The inaugural portrait – now hanging at Harewood – is of local community activist Arthur France, who founded the Leeds West Indian Carnival. Missing Portraits is one of many initiatives that form part of Harewood’s Open History programme – a commitment to being transparent about its past, tackling racism, and promoting equality and inclusion. The ground on which the house was built was paid for through the vast fortune made by plantation and slave-owner Henry Lascelles during the Transatlantic slave trade. Lascelles became one of the richest men in England and his son Edwin, who also owned plantations and slaves, used the family wealth to build the house itself.

Debate: Shadi Hamid vs Samuel Moyn on America’s Foreign Policy | Intelligence Squared Intelligence Squared 2023-02-04 | The United States of America has been the world’s foremost economic and military power, in the aftermath of World War II President Truman set out his Four Point Plan which stated that the U.S must uphold its unique responsibility to promote democracy and economic development around the world.Many in the world see the influence of the United States as a force for good. It applies pressure on authoritarian regimes such as Iran to abide by human rights, and it supports nations such as Ukraine defending themselves against imperial aggression. But others argue that the Afghanistan and Iraq interventions show that American exceptionalism and the attempt to play the world’s policeman have wreaked irrevocable havoc which the rest of the world is still paying a price for today. So who’s right? In early November 2022 we were joined by foreign policy experts Shadi Hamid and Samuel Moyn as they went head-to-head on whether American power is a force for good.✅ Click on this link to subscribe: youtube.com/user/iqsquared?sub_confirmation=1Intelligence Squared has established itself as the leading forum for live, agenda-setting debates, talks and discussions around the world.

Persuasion in an Age of Polarisation, with Anand Giridharadas | Intelligence Squared Intelligence Squared 2023-01-28 | The lifeblood of any free society is healthy disagreement: people with different views trying to change each other’s minds through argument and persuasion. But many democracies across the world are suffering a crisis of faith in the values of debate and have instead turned to writing off those who disagree with them.In December 2022 Anand Giridharadas came to Intelligence Squared to discuss how our societies lost the art of persuasion. Drawing on his new book The Persuaders, he took us inside the movements at the heart of the culture wars. From Black Lives Matter to Trumpism, Giridharadas highlighted the intense pressure to conform to ideas and highlight the dissenters who continue to champion persuasion and healthy disagreement in an age of polarisation.✅ Click on this link to subscribe: youtube.com/user/iqsquared?sub_confirmation=1Intelligence Squared has established itself as the leading forum for live, agenda-setting debates, talks and discussions around the world.
