Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

I'm too ADHD for this video can someone boil it down to bullet points for me?

Amazing that I can handle hbomb video essays but for some reason my eyes glaze over and I cant focus on a 20 minute video like this lol
Someone made a "takedown" video about the dude's charity but they dont have access to the accounting info or any experience in accounting. Dude says he didn't do anything wrong but that he was trying to find the right org to give the donations to but it was taking a while. Dude is leaving the charity to unmuddy the waters and welcomes any IRS investigation. Says other guys is slandering him and there is a vibe that he is going to sue him.
I'm also uninterested in watching this video, but summarizing is in my opinion a good use of AI/LLM tech. Here is an AI summary, it took me about 3 minutes to read. https://www.summarize.tech/youtu.be/giaoY2DlVr8?si=XDCjEvq3jElpiGgl
Keep in mind it's summarizing what Jirard said, and that isn't necessarily true.
i'm uninterested in watching jirard's response video, but essentially, to go alone with commiejones' points, someordinarygamers and jobst were looking at the IRS filings for the open hand charity and found that while they had reported income, they'd never actually spent any of it. It's unclear if that's, strictly speaking, illegal, but it's definitely not honest. especially not for a charity for dementia research that has raised money on the sentiment that they were partnered with well-regarded medical research centers. those two youtubers also have claimed that there are discrepancies between the announced revenue from a different open hand fundraiser and the tax filings. the tax filings are public because it's a public charity.
Yeah im aware of what happened so far i was specifically looking to know what Jirard said in response. I find mutahar and jobst suspect as people tbh
yeah i don't have strong convictions one way or another about any of the people involved in this.
I haven't watched it, i dont know what its about, and i dont know who this is. But i saw the opening frame and saw the title. Here's a summary: I didn't do anything wrong, whoever said I did anything wrong is lying and maybe I'll sue them for slander or something, and the evidence of me doing anything wrong is fake lies.
