1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:03,100
What is the alliance of throne 
and altar? 

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,000
So the alliance was thrown in 
altar, refers to the back in the

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,800
day, it referred to how 
intellectuals the, the 

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,800
government would basically 
employ Court intellectuals to 

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,500
justify their interventions to 
the public. 

6
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:22,700
So, the king would basically 
make a certain Church 

7
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,200
established, this is the state 
church. 

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,200
People must support the state 
Church, you must listen to the 

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,800
priest etcetera and that That 
would, of course, the king would

10
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:34,200
give money to the priest to 
build a nice Church. 

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,200
The priest would have the kings 
are, you know, the Kings ear get

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,100
priest would live a good life 
and in turn the priest would say

13
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:42,700
the king is divine. 
You have to listen to the king, 

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,000
you have to fight for the king. 
You have to pay taxes for the 

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,700
king. 
If you're conscripted, you have 

16
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:49,900
to go out and fight for the king
and some foreign war Etc. 

17
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:54,400
So it was this alliance between 
the Throne of government and the

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,600
altar, right? 
So the the the, the religion, 

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,000
the religious groups, which I 
Timer really, the only 

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,300
intellectuals and this has 
continued into the modern era 

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,200
because nowadays although 
there's not an explicit 

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,500
religious element in 
intellectuals. 

23
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:13,800
In there is a separation of 
church and state. 

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,900
It's Court. 
Intellectuals are basically 

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,800
academics employed by the 
government and state 

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,100
universities, Etc because 
governments give them cushy jobs

27
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:27,600
or sinecures is they're called 
and in turn those intellectuals 

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,100
justify the government. 
So they say, oh you have I pay 

29
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:34,600
taxes, you have to wear a face 
mask, you have to adhere to this

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,800
regulation, all of this is good.
It might not, you know, it's not

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800
because God said so, but it's 
because it's promoting the 

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,300
welfare of the public Etc and in
return, those universities will 

33
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,100
get cushy research grants in 
government subsidies and those 

34
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:53,200
intellectuals will get nice jobs
and so on and so forth. 

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800
So the alliance refers to the 
connection between the 

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:32,900
government and intellectuals. 
I pay taxes, you have to wear a 

37
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:36,400
face mask, you have to adhere to
this regulation, all of this is 

38
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,800
good. 
It might not, you know, it's not

39
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800
because God said so, but it's 
because it's promoting the 

40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,300
welfare of the public Etc and in
return, those universities will 

41
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,100
get cushy research grants in 
government subsidies and those 

42
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:53,200
intellectuals will get nice jobs
and so on and so forth. 

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800
So the alliance refers to the 
connection between the 

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,600
government and intellectuals.
