The Covid scamdemic brought to mind the unclothed emperor parable muchly. There was no new virus and no pandemic. But everyone acted as though there was. No doubt about it, our overlords are masters of mind control.
I read a biography on Hans, years and years ago now. Of all the fairy tales--of which I was a huge fan (read anthologies of them country by country when I was a teen) I always found Anderson's the most nuanced and interesting,
Thank you Celia. I look forward to watching this and learning more about Hans Christian Anderson. We sure have seen a lot of naked emperors parading around in recent decades, though most observers convinced themselves these guys were clothed in elegant finery. I'm exceedingly grateful to Anderson for providing us with that powerful metaphorical tale!
Sadly you tube put to much forced commercial time. Not even 3 min in and 7 min of two and almost made it to ten minute and then you tube put a 42 min commercial and no way to by pass so turned off. JD Vance’s investment Rumble is not much better and sometime worse.
I used the "skip ad" function to enjoy the full video. Then updated my family tree to find that Hans Christian Andersen was my 12th cousin once removed if you accept the evidence that his mother was Elise.
I found a work around and watched. It was interesting and never knew of the details. Sorry I did not know he was from Odense when there during the younger life days of doing the Eurail backpack trip. It was a charming fairly tail place.
I got YouTube Premium a couple years ago so I could watch videos without commercial interruptions. I'm glad I did, I find it worth the price. On Rumble I can skip ads after five seconds, but they also have a premium service now.
Use Brave as your browser (it's free; modeled on the Chrome browse of Google). It comes with an ad blocker. I watch YT all the time with it and have zero ad interruptions.
Thanks for the suggestion. I like the Brave browser and it does a decent job as you've indicated, still, there's the frequent Y.T. insistence that I sign in when I'd much prefer not to.
I know! I sign in only on my own devices, and not on others' - but, in truth, they've got all the info on us already, whether we like it or are aware of it - or not. Just like Amazon. The megacorps are run and owned by the same few people. Hard to avoid them all the time!
Thanks for posting this information on Hans Christian Anderson. I never before realized that he led a life of such duality and his heavy dependence on others in high places. It seems that his life was indeed something of a semi-sweet Fairy Tale.
Interesting. His biggest fairy tale was his autobiography?
Oh, I now see that he wrote so many tales that tell so many perceptive truths about people and society. For instance: "The Emperor's New Suit".
But this story is a new one to me - and so very moving. About a Jewish girl, Christianity, and Christians:

Thank you, Celia!! You find the best stuff for us!

Agreed!
I have no doubt that you are right.
Yes indeed, Joo Tube is a royal pain in the ass! I try to avoid using it, but sometimes I have little choice but to do so.
Agree
I subscribe!
Hans Christian Anderson is my favorite children book wtiter
and many of his collaborator illustrators the best artists ever. (Arthur Rackham amongst others).
thanks for the fairytale about the writer of fairy tales!
are you aware of the terminology "elementals" by rudolph steiner ?
I am not. Interested to learn what it is!

No. Tell us, please.
