Buck SextonHOST
I think that the 9-11 for me completely changed my perspective on what my future was going to be.
Buck SextonHOST
I remember I was a sophomore in college at Amherst, so an idyllic little campus in Massachusetts, about an hour and a half west of Boston.
Buck SextonHOST
And I remember thinking that, and this was going back even to my freshman year, the great battles had already been waged, that my generation would be one of peace, and that it would just be about maybe building wealth in a business, in the private sector, trying to become successful in our capitalist economy.
Buck SextonHOST
And, uh, yeah, the great battles.
Buck SextonHOST
I had, I had done Arabic, and then I was going actually to a Shakespeare class, though.
Buck SextonHOST
And I still remember it was, uh, Professor Schofield was the guy's name.
Buck SextonHOST
And I walked into the, what they called the Red Room at Amherst College, the, uh, amphitheater, uh, classroom that they have there.

Amy SpeaceGUEST
And she memorized Emily Dickinson.
Amy SpeaceGUEST
So when I went to Amherst College, she was thrilled because of the Robert Frost connection and the Emily Dickinson colle- you know, connection.
Amy SpeaceGUEST
And so she always told me, "One must always memorize poetry to have it ready, at the ready." But she was so literary, and, uh, she paid for piano lessons.
Amy SpeaceGUEST
She bought me my first guitar.
David LeesonNARRATOR
His first idea was to employ him as a house servant.
David LeesonNARRATOR
But when his wife and he met the youth and heard his wonderful story, they saw immediately that this was no ordinary immigrant of the stowaway order, and instead of making him a servant, they took him into their family practically as an adopted son, and gave him a thorough education, first in an academy at Andover and afterwards at Amherst College.
David LeesonNARRATOR
It was in token of this adoption that, when he was baptized as a member of the Christian church, he took his full name of Joseph Hardy Nissima.
David LeesonNARRATOR
On shipboard, as has been mentioned, he was called Joe, the sailors having decided that he must have some short and handy name, and Joe suggesting itself as convenient.
David LeesonNARRATOR
Keep the name, Mr. Hardy said after hearing how it was given, for he felt that, like another Joseph, who went down to Egypt as a captive and became the savior of his brethren, Joseph Nissima, the Japanese runaway, might yet become a benefactor to his country.
David LeesonNARRATOR
He lived long enough to see his hopes much more than realized.
David LeesonNARRATOR
After graduating honorably at Amherst College, Nissima entered himself a student at Andover Theological Seminary, with the view of being ordained as a fully qualified missionary to his own countrymen.
David LeesonNARRATOR
Soon after this, a pathway for his return to Japan opened up in a manner which was almost dramatic.
Luis Guzman-ClavelGUEST
And before that, I was a summer student for a couple of summers working alongside Sriaram and a few other folks in the lab, essentially investigating the same type of molecular questions surrounding neural connectivity assembly during development.
Luis Guzman-ClavelGUEST
And before that, I was an undergraduate at Amherst College where I did synaptic neurobiology, both presynaptically and postsynaptically, mostly molecular work.
Luis Guzman-ClavelGUEST
And I'd say that I would have to build up a three months answer for what is most rewarding about this step of work.
Luis Guzman-ClavelGUEST
It's just that some of the phenotypes are so striking that the first time you see them in the microscope, you know the result of your experiments.
Brett MilanoGUEST
But because Hampshire, which is now defunct, sadly, but it was part of the five college cooperation, and you could do things that were at the other colleges, which included radio stations.
Brett MilanoGUEST
And Amherst College had a station called WAMH where I got myself.
Brett MilanoGUEST
I persisted and persisted until they got me a show.
Brett MilanoGUEST
And that was what did it for me, because if you had a show on college radio in Amherst, there were thousands of people that would hear it.
Juliette EngelGUEST
So we have to look at that and who they were, who put it in.
Juliette EngelGUEST
AI is just going to spit out what some humanities major at Amherst College there in the DEI program puts in.
Juliette EngelGUEST
Right, exactly.
Juliette EngelGUEST
So what did they put in to the mind control that has infected the world except Russia?
