Joseph - NYE Lyrics

Number one China should thank him .He helps China see her problems...

When ever i want sleep i am gonna watch this. i had slept 3 times while watching this.

You should read "The Accidental Superpower" and "The Absent Superpower" by Peter Weihan.

ayye my boy nye rocking white tennis shoes with them sweet baggy chinos. Classic

Had to watch for a class, very fascinating! I think the privatization of violence will within a century or two end the state.

His concept of 'smart power' and 'co-operation' is just the extension american way of neo-colonialism for selling their goods in developing countries.China challenged these conspiracy so they are coming with new concepts like 'positive good' etc.
All scholars of the USA is waiting for the fall of China to get their theories correct like their theories about the USSR.
Listen to a pro-chinese scholar you will get these conspir

Boy "word salad" is right... who ever said it earlier... this is full of nothingness... Why does these Ted videos remind me of that show "The Shark" where crazy inventors try and sell business ideas to investors"? Just horrible..

In my opinion the part where says that a state has the upper hand in power if it has 'a better story' is not a soft power. It sounds more like propaganda, which is something different from the soft power. Am I right? Does anyone have the same opinion or am I completely wrong?

Soft Power is absolutely nothing but Propoganda...lol...

This guy should write all of our public schools history books.

Brilliant!

Joseph Nye, I'd like to tell you there's a picture in my mind, an old man dressed well on a Sunday morning went to church, he entered the lift, smiled to the stranger with a fake smile. He pretended to be a good gentlemen, and talked about "don't be afraid of the rising China". There're tons of people like this but no one even mentioned that the rise of China or Asia means many poor people are getting out of poverty! I wish the next decade we see rise of Africa, south America, or rise of the poor people in America. Joseph Nye, you're not a professor, and not a gentleman with a open and warm heart, is that the soft power you're talking about?

you got a better shot of China calling in those loans in Africa and within a year every single black person in the continent will be speaking Chinese and wondering where there government is to protect them... Cause thats exactly what China's fixing to do...

Мне думается, что мир не поделился на ветви, а трансформировался с учётом интерннет технологий!И тут возникает вопрос:"Преобладание Возможностями Технологий и СПОР или цена человеческой жизни за СПОР и Преобладание Возможностями Технологий??"Это существенное обстоятельство и для истории ,политики нравов и силы и, быта людей!Глупо погибать -никому не хочется!Нравы и Cилы пока берут Вверх над технологиями!Странно и страшно звучит ??Но это так!!!Представьте себя, пришедшим на нашу планету из космоса! Вы будете в состоянии ужаса и шока от тех новостей, которые вы узнаете, ведь у Вас там такого и близко -НЕТ, тк ВЫ - высокоразвитая цивилизаия и живёте тем, что каждый занят своим делом и ВСЁ(!!) под контролем!!!А планета Земля -оказалась для Вас -полностью не контроллируемая -во всех отношениях!!!А мы земляне -так и живём,вроде бы контролируемом ....НО .. полностью в бесконтрольном пространстве!!И здесь ключевое слово -ВРОДЕ!!!!!ВДУМАЙТЕСЬ!!КУДА МЫ ДВИЖЕМСЯ И ДЛЯ ЧЕГО???(P.S.переведите этот текст самостоятельно и верно!)

Ахуеть мои глаза

I really disagree with Nye about a power transition of West to East. It’s completely misleading. Germany, for example, is one of the most developed economies of the World and one that belongs to the western traditions and backgroud. And I don't see any economic shift from germany to somewhere in Asia. Not to mention the United States.

Hahahaha what a fool. Just wait in 20 years.

This is out-of-date.

What's with the laughing at 3:17 when he mentions the Catholic Church?

He is addressing a bunch of Leftists who hate religionists.

There is a confusing meaning among "Soft Power" and "Public Diplomacy" and sometimes 'Propaganda. It's like a business of academic to paraphrase several similarly meaning concepts, if you read them carefully you got what i mean

Chairman Xi is using smart power better than all the US politicians. He has not fired the shot for more than a month after Indian army invaded into Chinese terrirorie. US is very disappointed that India can't be the one to fight China for Her. Indian government is fighting a war that is both foolish and unnecessary.

how can you say that indian army invade chinese territory .it was the fault of china ,why she want to make road in land of bhutan .so far war is concern india never ever supported war ,war can be chinese policy

Harshit - Building a road is not exactly a war policy. You are making some big mental leaps to get there. China is only building, and is not destroying anything so far.

Pete china was not only making road at doklam rather china was making road on the land of bhutan.we have negotiation with bhutan that we will protect bhutan from external danger

isisrael media cult by rothchilds slave farm delusion own your brains to livE

FEAR STILL RULES THIS WORLD THAT USA CREATED SHAME.

Propaganda USA WE OWN THE WORLD, USA always first to kill, nukes, napalm, depleted Uranium, cluster bombs, agent orange, Killing in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, USA killed over 3 million Asians and left. Wars Built on LIES Vietnam, No Known Heroes in wars built on LIES.. THIS idiot makes excuses for global power. USA military "Full Spectrum Domination", USA created AlQaeda and ISIL to drag others into wars built on lies. SHAME Propaganda is soft power, yes CON-JOB.

At 12:35 Nye provides foreshadowing of what could be argued as the 2017 overreaction to the fear American erosion of power - isolationism and protectionism and the "Make America Great Again" policies of the Trump administration.

History is fairly cyclical of course, though I'm curious about whether your opinion changed at all over the last year?

In fact what's quite interesting is that a lot of people argue that the financial crisis led to the rise in far-right populism (or whatever you want to call it) across the US and Western Europe, so the video is especially prescient!

When Britain ruled the world, those so-called scholars never predicted Britain would fail.
However, GOD is never predictable.

poneme los subtitulos conchudo de mierda pelotudo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Al Queda was created by the CIA to defeat the soviets in afghanistan. 9/11 was an inside job by elements from the American government and Israel government to scare Americans into giving up their rights and to fight Israel's wars.

I agree with Happy here, but ya gotta also add the larger historical geopolitical dimension. Here's a quick starter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL8TLiOcF6c

I believe that people should stop extrapolating and making claims without any evidence whatsoever.

i think people from countries termed "developing" would benefit from learning from the East- countries that have leap frog-ed the process

How do they have a leap frog? They have capitolized off of Americas need for cheap labor... its been done for past 2 centurys..LMAO.. Nothing China is doing economically is genuine or innovative... There idea of innovation is taking a I phone and rebranding it as a G-phone... smdh

looks like the almighty americans are nervous and are in a state of denial.

+Viren Lensh As an American, I think having rivals to keep my government in check is a very good thing.

+MrC0MPUT3R Agreed. Same as how you guys have helped to keep everyone else in line over the years.

as a person who I regard myself a person from Lower class, I think there are still lots of people who havvvvve nothing in their head. thats why we need relatively high quality of education and to enable people to have more and more education. people! lets have more!!!! education at least.

고현승 : with that mentality u r already streets ahead of most. 👍

고현승 .
nowadays education can be downloaded. its all about self improvement n shiet.

パワーシフトなど起こらない、アメリカが世界のリーダーに変わりはありません。我が国日本に必要なことは、アメリカの一諸侯という立場。アメリカの総合力に、勝ち目はありません。分を知ることです。中国に絶対ついてはいけません。

+柳本賢司 Mmmm.. i can see why most of Japanese media are so happy to shot videos of 5% extremely poor Chinese and telling most of Japanese this is how Chinese live.. and im really delighted Japan isn't aware of it. well, japan as a strong loyal subordinate of USA... really tried their best to discredit China. why would China challenge USA??? but at least... we are not slave or neither a dog 豚 to them. we are independent country even it's not a good enough country okay? and u know what i refer to when i said slave haha. well.. I didn't point out specifically. if U r angry and it means u know the answer hahahaha

+spark maccas    経済力プラス、軍事力が、バランスよくある国が、独立国であります。我が国は、経済力アメリカの３０％軍事力２０％以下日本に、核戦力はありません、アメリカ軍の核戦力を、他国の核攻撃に対しシェアしてもらうしかないのです。太平洋戦争の時のように、同じ過ちを繰り返してはいけません。アメリカとの同盟強化で、日本は生きていくしかないのです。

please say English , so that i know what you are saying .

柳本賢司 Your American friends can't understand you.......

Over raTED.....CorrrupTED.

+dean g. Moxon this makes a lot more sense when youve read his book. power and interdependance by nye and keohane, check it out

such a boring speech,,,,,,nothing learned....waste of myy time

I think you r not an English speaker or have nothing in your head about IR

blablablabla

what's the background music of the Ad in the end

You're very right. Thank you for making me less dumb. I should have looked it up first.

Brasilia is the capital of Brazil

Brazilia? Never heard of that country.

Oh man, I totally mis-read this. I thought it was Bill Nye giving a talk, not this guy...

You're much better off listening to Joe than Bill, IMHO.

He's as smart as a guy who still believes in fairy tales can be.

sound is digitally modified?

lol, all this guy is doing is selling his "smart power" idea. but how does one implement this "smart power"? sounds cool but, does it actually do anything??

Hillary proved it doesn't, womp-womp

Humanity will continue to have a humble life for there are fools like you who equate obstrusive terms with ordinary ones. Doctors invent the term "iatrogenic" disease as a euphemism to cover up their human errors. Laws are written in such a way that virtually no one except lawyers could play their game, unless you have loads of money in your pocket or you would probably fail when you encounter a lawsuit. If u like to play into their tricks, then be my guest.

What are you even talking about. Do you think doctors invent terms to alienate you? You think the reason contract law can get confusing is because lawyers want you to need them? Did musicians invent music notation just to make sure nobody else would play the flute? When you specialize, and dedicate yourself to a particular field you will notice that the need for technical terms and systems comes up. I'm sorry if that bothers you...You're gonna have a pretty rough life.

In antiquety, scholars like to "invent" terms out of thin air. Modern scholars like to make clear things more confused so that laymen could not enter their trade without paying money. Ancient terms die out because of practical uselessness, but modern obstrusive terms are protected by these fucking scholars, lawyers, doctors... for their self-interest~ It's fools like you who keep dwelling on their bullshit that makes their sustainence possible~ It contributes nothing but confusion to humanity~

It is broad, just as the types of military action a state can take are very broad; covert operations, war, supplying arms to rebels, assassinations, drone strikes, air operations, etc. It doesn't make the term less useful.

No, it is meant to contrast with traditional 'hard power'--it really isn't difficult to understand, and its usage within the theme of this man's conversation is really appropriate. It is a relatively broad term; it is indicating the shift in the international politics paradigm from flexing military might in a multipolar world, to a more 'warless' international stage where competing actors vie for influence and power with diplomatic methods that recognize our increasing interdependence.

When a term becomes to "inclusive" to encompass too many things of different nature, it will become over-abstractive and over-generalized to be useful. It will end up as obstrusive as the useless and notorious term "zeitgeist", of which scholars like to play with as to show off how "profound" the knowledge they possess. It's kinda like the notorious law makers who like to make simple things complicated so that they could monopolize the trade and make their services costly~

the term is actually pretty useful. I understand that it might not be relevant to your life but for people embedded in the foreign policy process it actually is. Soft Power is referring to the types of political persuasion and coercion employed by governments that does not stem directly from the military or physical aggression (using hard power). Joining trade unions, facilitating local alliances, strengthening local economies and interdependencies--these are all soft power tactics.

Don't be silly~ Just get rid of these hollow and practically useless terms~ They are invented by those scholars who want to feign sophisticaton as if they are the only ones who could understand these obstruse terminology~

That is not soft power...

Soft power is the most ridiculous and useless term coined by these so called scholars. Loving Chinese food or Kung Fu movies doesn't make one to admire nor agree with China.

@thebytegrill it's no different from telling the government to put a troll button on fox news. If you don't agree with it, then don't look at it. Saying another's comment as trolling is kind of trolling in itself.

The only fear i have in the 21st century.. is the fear created by military industrial complex and greedy politicians in the developed countries, they will the one that create fear through greedy politicians as their puppets/spokesmen- woman.

We will see exploding of research in military technologies and exploding in military hardware business, making the top 1% richer and richer, especially in the military industry

he defined power diffusion as power moving to non-state actors, and the EU and BRICs are all comprised of state actors. It's a power shift; the US isn't declining, like everyone thinks, but it is becoming weaker because relative to China, it is growing at a snail's pace, so although the US is growing, it's not fast enough to make up the ground China is gaining.

maybe we can view this not as a power shift, but as a power diffusion. US will remain its dominance, but its power will also be balanced by the rising power such as EU, BRICs or other non-western nations. then we will see a world with fewer wars and instability.

I'm with the busshelter on this one. Seriously peeps? Or should I say sheep...s.

Economically yes, but politically and militarily they flexing their muscles. This year alone, they've gotten into diplomatic rows and military standoffs with the Philippines and Vietnam over control of the South China Sea AND with Japan over the Senkoku Islands. In the past, they've had hostilities with all the South China Sea nations. The government propaganda machine makes it look like all the other countries are at fault, making the public anxious for the military to prove its superiority.

Its amusing to me that some people still think that al qaeda was responsible for the attack on 9-11

More sad than amusing. It is a testament to a state controlled media.

He is wrong on the part of Asian countries are afraid of the rise of China. Asian neighbours are benefiting from its rise.

See how western politicians ramp up crap in other parts of the world to rape them? And no one in their countries do anything about it (Middle East/Africa especially, but no developing country is exempt from this). Well...the good news for us is that politicians everywhere are the same. When eastern states have double the GDP of the west, I wonder how they'll start playing with the mice. One thing's for sure though...we'll be using all the injustices you bastards are committing now

NONE of the Asian countries want the US to come into Asia. There were three polls in even Japan where they wanted the US out of Japan. The US comes in and offers aid to any country that will go against the big power next to it...fucking bastards. Anyway...you reap what you sow

What will happen is that what the west has been trying to do for the past two hundred years (as in re-write history and cause inter-nation tension in Asia) will be undone when Asian powers get together and realize who the real leech is. Until then...Weeeeeeee!

What happened in the 1800s was the colonization and de-industrialization of Asia by the west. Get the FUCK out of the Middle East

china is whole new world watch out kung fu power :)

great explanation

This is a shitty propaganda speaker. so naive.

Respond to this video... When he says "sticks" He is referring to carrots and sticks. Otherwise known as rewards and punishments in psychology. Carrots are rewards and sticks are punishment.

@Issphitikozs
He is referring to basic psychology of motivation. Carrots and sticks. This is otherwise known as rewards and punishments as motivation.

@giansideros India held 24% of the worlds GDP under the Mughal Empire(India), then the empire disintegrated and the British took advantage and defeated the reveal empires fighting against each other in India. And create British Raj. British god filthy rich off of India, but India slipped into intense poverty.

Oops. He said al-CIA-da was a non governmental actor. I don't know about that!

mm why i would want a deep sea working rolex watch? mmm i just cat look at my iphone to look the time ... this is weird... watches are obsolete....

Going to put it on my wish list. =P

@ToniSkit

Thank you very much, Toni. =D

Youtube needs a troll button right next to the spam button, with profiles getting troll points.

I like the way he speaks it's very calm.

@AirForceJuan3 well if your just starting to read foucault and have not read other philosophers etc i would recommend purchasing a book that is about foucault that summarizes or condenses is works...a good starting book would be Understanding Foucault....i dont recommend reading his texts inicially because they are dense and his way of composing is very tangled/intrinsic/complex etc.

@ToniSkit

I've just bought a book that among other things is about Foucault...
Sounds interesting.
Do you happen to know any book, documentary or something else about his work?

sounds like foucault

@cray32 I know right. Sad that Ted talks has resorted to giving audience to such tripe.

@VagabonNinja Listen kid...I'm not following your logic one bit. Your using non-sequitirs left and right. I can't help you with that. He has plenty of free articles on line so you know what he is talking about. We can't debate, if we are arguing separate things. I'll be glad to discuss his articles such as "How soft is smart" or "Of might and right". They are free, just look them up.

@VagabonNinja Go read his book and well talk then. Thanks.

@VagabonNinja You don't think you need tools like literacy to "talk with people"??Do you think the speaker has no tools like his education? Sure he does. He is a PhD right? Not that you need a degree. He also uses history and economics to make his point. And soft power is more than talking to people...you think China is advancing because "they talked with people." ?Hard work is soft power. Intense study is soft power. Innovation is soft power.

@VagabonNinja Well, all speech by nature is a form of soft power. I wouldn't say his form is very powerful as it goes. Mainly due to the limited time format of TED. Also, he misses the fundamental point. The point is...you cannot innovate(soft power) if you don't have the tools to innovate with. Lets start with a foundation before we build the house. I'm not questioning that "he believes what he says." I'm questioning the fundamentals of soft power... math; science; history; literacy.

total junk

@charmander4533 As for the HDI (which averages in all sorts of data such as standard of living, life expectancy; etc) ; be very careful how you read it. 99% is assumed because they don't collect the data. For example, North Korea is also 99% U.S. ranking is "4" for HDi but literacy is around 21. Thats horrible; below N. Korea.

Patents do not reflect innovation. Which is besides the point. Its the rate at which things happen. The U.S. is going backwards; while everyone else is moving forward. Self praise will not solve anything. Cont...

@charmander4533 Did you accidently remove your response? Its gone.

@charmander4533 At 16:25 he talks about "defining our national interests." That is his thesis. I say, whether you use hard, soft, or smart power , without education you have nothing; it is the foundation for all. We rank quite low in reading, math, and science for a supposed super power. I was clear in saying automation will/has replace mechanical repetitive services (what you call mass production). Competing with China for mass production is irrelevant. Without innovation, we lose.

@charmander4533 No, I think he overlooked a very important point. The west rates quite low in terms of education. And by that I mean the ability to use math and science to innovate or create. Without that, we can't compete. We can only compete with mechanical repetitive service type tasks~which are typically replaced by technology (automation,etc). No, he is not smart.

Manpower still counts! With a large number of mathematically illiterate Americans in which 60% believe biology (fossils, molecular genetics, evolution) is a lie...then we have a deficit. We do not invest in business and technology and education, but we invest in wall street; which is nothing more than gambling. We have more catching up to do than this guy thinks.

@sparklymage "but is probably in it just like the rest of us." Ah, there you go. In it just like the rest of us... In what? Yeah, thats right. I worked security at the convention center, and one day i was guarding an exhibit that showed demographics of china's population growth, power grid etc, you name it... charts and graphs everywhere.. Its growing rapidly, america is scared and so are americans. This ted talks is just trying to soothe public worry. And it seems to be working on you.

@WyldOrbit "Its mind"? Why are you here? Why do you come to these videos to spew your ignorant hateful garbage? "Sheep"? You sound like every other moron that thinks he knows better but is probably in it just like the rest of us. What truth anyway? I didn't know there was some conspiracy we were talking about. This was not exactly a controversial TED talk. What kind of enlightening did you do anyway, you haven't said anything? Man you are illogical.

@sparklymage And ted talks is bullshit. You little sheep.. Im done enlightening you idiots..

@sparklymage Boohoo, i have nothing to prove to some stupid kid. This is not a competition where i have to display my intellectual prowess. THis is reality, and im not gonna spoonfeed it to you. You wanna know the truth? Go find it yourself. There is nothing i can say to some stupid kid to change its mind. Or a stupid adult for that matter...

@WyldOrbit Yes clearly I am a stupid kid. You know, the guy on the youtube comments that is making a rational argument is a stupid kid. While the guy that is saying "ted talks is bullshit" and "does that comfort you? lol" is the mature adult. Very nice. I am clapping for your intellectual prowess right now.

@sparklymage Youre obviously just some stupid kid. Go get informed. Im not gonna waste my time talking to you..

@WyldOrbit Maybe, but that is a highly irrational fear. I myself do not much care if China overtakes the U.S. economically, as long as the U.S. keeps on making the money. So my reaction to that is w/e

@sparklymage China has its own civil discontent to deal with. Starting a war would not be wise for them. But nothing will stop them from taking over as number 1 economically, and thats what america is afraid of.

@sparklymage yeah, ok. Sure... Ok.
