Errors in the transcription
Error one:
329
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Not exclusive to these things, but in addition to them,
330
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
is propagating a genuine demand for democracy on the ground.
it’s propagating a genuine demand for democracy on the ground.
Error two -- quite obvious and the audio is also
clear.
356
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
But without freedom of speech, you can have free and fair elections.
But without freedom of speech, you can’t have free and fair elections.
Error three:
The following longwinded sentence has been cut up in such a way that it no longer makes sense. The
“if”-clause in 14:53 is resolved only in 15:07 (If we start building …, what we’ll have in the end is …), so
you cannot cut it up.
69
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Whereas if we start building this demand on the ground on a civilizational level,
370
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
rather than merely on a political level,
371
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
a level above politics --
372
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
movements that are not political parties,
373
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
but are rather creating this civilizational demand
374
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
for this democratic culture.
for this democratic culture --
375
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
What we'll have in the end
what we'll have in the end
376
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
is this ideal that you see on the slide here.
Error four:
Another long sentence that should not have been cut up. It has a long parenthesis, and the speaker
knows it, because he repeats “to get to that stage in 15:36, to reconnect.
379
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
But to get to that stage,
380
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
where democracy builds the fabric of society
381
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
and the political choices within that fabric,
382
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000
but are certainly not theocratic and military dictatorship --
383
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
i.e. you're voting in a democracy,
384
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
in an existing democracy,
385
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
and that democracy is not merely one of the choices at the ballot box.
and that democracy is not merely one of the choices at the ballot box --
386
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
To get to that stage,
to get to that stage,
387
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000
we genuinely need to start building demand
388
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
in those societies on the ground.
