Dialogue Works

Horrible quality, but do have a listen (if you like pain). I am rather disappointed, I must say.
I feel as if Nima means well, but he has a mindset typical of the modern West where he lacks a true understanding of how resources and energy drive the world, focusing on "economics" instead. Another thing is that he has this Thomas Carlyle view of events where he believes "great men" are leading world events. To the contrary, it's obvious that various bureaucratic and oligarchic factions in the USA are the true drivers of policy, with the President there to simply be a scapegoat in exchange for some insider dealing that is chump change by billionaire standards. Trump's pronouncements mean nothing while the real business of governance happens at squash clubs, golf courses, and private dinners. Since Nima and Dmitry share such different mindsets, it's a little painful to watch questions that have nothing to do Dmitry's real expertise.
Patrick Schafer, World3 model scenario BAU is what is going on. There needs to be a controlled winding down of population and living standards or it will be the sea people all over again.
Patrick Schafer, "... we are supposed to be able to create our own reality with our wills."
Indeed... 🤠 as 'Bush's Brain' once lectured c. 2004, “People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That’s not the way the world really works anymore.
We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you are studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors… and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” — Karl Rove
Just read a headline on rt, the west is thinking of getting Bangladeshi and Saudi troops into Ukraine as “peacekeepers”. One way to summarize the collective west , sleazy fanatics.
Nikola Vidrich, 😂, that'll have the Russian infantry quaking in their fur-lined boots this winter. And then some, certainly.
Hopefully “the rest” will be able to pay the west back not in blood but in humiliation. They need to eat some serious humble pie
Nikola Vidrich, why not just ignore them?
Dmitry Orlov, good advice.
I will have to study feudalism. I always thought it was a bad thing
Daniel Drazenovich, It was a particular system of governance, and emerged in the wake of the collapse of the western part of the Roman empire. Warlords emerge from the debris of empire; these warlords have control of large tracts of land, some of which they hand over to their retainers, with the understanding that these retainers will provide armored men and horses in times of conflict. Eventually you arrive at a system where you have a king, some dukes and earls beneath him, some barons beneath them, and knights beneath them. Beneath these nobles and knights, you have the peasants. To see the system in fiction, try G.R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones." In the real world the "crisis of feudalism" occurred in the 14th century, gradually being supplanted by a system of city-based capitalism that gradually went global. The new system was and has also been beset by crises of various sorts. The current Western system is now collapsing.
Arshad Ali, thank you for your reply
Mr. Orlov was brilliant regardless of the sound quality. Thank you so much!
Dmitry would be better off on Glenn Diesen's YouTube channel. Diesen is an intellectual heavyweight, particularly with regard to geopolitics. This fellow Nima Alkhorshid is completely out of his depth and lacks a sophisticated weltanschauung of his own.
The sound quality on this particular video wasn't great but the content was as always riveting. We are watching as the USA -- a spent force -- tries to wriggle and worm its way out of its inevitable destiny as a worn-out has-been.
I keep reflecting on Dmitry's essay, "The Collapse Gap", and the subsequent book, "Reinventing Collapse." One key difference between the two powers, with the 20/20 hindsight of two decades, is that Russia managed to reinvent and reconstitute itself (thanks largely to Putin) but the USA will not manage the same thing and will probably balkanize into smaller states.
Arshad Ali, On the topic of collapse, there are many "dumb ways (for a state) to die", and Norway is the world's second most "feministizised" nation after Sweden, its neighbour.
Sweden killed itself by experimenting with uncontrolled immigration, and Norway is interesting because it can fund unsustainable policies until long after sanity would otherwise have put a stop to it.
I expect entertaining and not sane things to happen as the elderly demographics become more tilted and gas profits go down.
mort1123, Norway is a petrostate. When oil revenues go down it will have to adjust to reality like Denmark and Sweden. As Asbjorn Wahl has said more than once, Norway is the top deck of the Titanic. Men jeg elsker Norge altfor mye ...
All pundits have limited understanding or information as to the major source of those who undermine humanity for their personal benefit.
Few to none of these interviewers are aware of the history of Britain's Pilgrim Society being the source that has manipulated and assigned leadership which undermines power and populations to their benefit.
These hidden, self-protected powermongers fill the world with oligarch assigned leaders and knock them off as they see fit.
They shape the world by limiting knowledge and information. They create the distractions that keep humanity in slavery, and they've been doing it for centuries.
They torture their children to maintain the callousness required to sanction lies required to control minds and kill off populations.
mort1123, I see your point and it's not helpful mort. 
It's widely known to anyone who hasn't bought into the opulence paraded in front of all Americans to guide them into hell.
The oligarchs who run the world use extreme abuse on their progeny to destroy their ability to feel compassion. They make it impossible for anything born to them to care about humanity to insure they will carry on raping, killing, and cannibalizing children and adults, required to feed their demons.
Perhaps you experienced some of this, which would create a blind spot that causes you to be incapable of love, unable to identify with the heart and soul of people raised by nurturing parents.
If you really want to see this information just look for it because it is prolific.
mort1123, by the way was that a threat???
Nima, thank you for th excellent job you have been allowing us- the viewers - to benefit! Of course, you wil go on having a even larger variety of viewers and of opinions. Here we are on the Multipolar world, with honor and benefit.
Dmitry, thank you.
The sound shortcomings are far less annoying than the naive, superficial, infantile questions by Nima. Dmitry is too polite to ask what the question is, but Nima's ramblings, the opining, and self-conscious attitude in general turn the interview into a sad, third-rate affair, despite his world-class guests.I've sent endless suggestions, the main one to get a coach, to no avail. Here is another one: your guest is a professional, a specialist in his area. Stop asking how "he feels" about things. 
Dmitry Orlov. Glad you are getting as much coverage as possible; your contribution is needed and welcome and I'm grateful. Worth paying the painful price. 
Maria, I wouldn't slag Nima. He makes a good go of it. Remains silent as interviewees speak, unlike Alex Mercuris at The Duran in group interview (OMG! Mute his mic when others talk. Unlistenable). 
Honest sincere alt media, production glitches and all, are there to get the truth out instead of wretched disgusting corporate media. 
The drawback with these podcast shows is the podcaster calls the questions, which I have no idea how any guest can understand and fully process any. In most double questions the interviewee forgets the second. Even Sergei Lavrov forgets. I'll concede Nima's questions need some work, but he's Iranian (I think), an engineer, living in Brazil speaking in English. Slack can be cut. I fully believe he is completely sincere and best intentions. He's not a Joe Rogan.
