Flashback: Ali G on Science and ‘Techmology’

By DAVID KNOWLES

One of the all time classic clips from “The Ali G Show” deals with many of the issues we discuss here at Paradigms Lost. It has been a few years since I first watched this segment, and it still feels fresh and as hilarious as ever. Enjoy:

And just two more months until Bruno hits theaters.

    “The answer is yes, (10) yes, (10) yes, (10) yes, (10) yes. (10) Yes.” Hilarious.

    And yet, this kind of reminds me of (serious) debates over religion.

    Kashmir,

    Agreed. The seriousness underlying the satire is what makes it so biting.

    About Me

    I've published two novels: The Secrets of the Camera Obscura (Chronicle Books), and The Third Eye (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday). I'm currently working as a journalist for AOL's Sphere. For the past three years I also spouted political opinion for AOL's Political Machine, which I also helped edit. My non-fiction has appeared in places like Men's Vogue, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, USA Today, Newsday, Travel + Leisure, GQ (Spain), and Vanity Fair (Italy). I've dabbled with short stories, publishing in Nerve and a few small journals.

    The other half of my split personality finds me playing a variety of instruments for a variety of bands, and writing songs for film soundtracks.
