Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
PLEASE brew a cup of tea, close all other tabs, relax and listen trough this whole lecture! It is important for the survival of our society!
Worth the time. Take a look.
Seldom have I listened to a lecture like this and found myself agreeing with everything said. But for this it was true. Perhaps easier for me to say from a European perspective. I can imagine some US viewers disagreeing with much of this, particularly the socialist aspects.
The speaker decries totalitarianism and champions socialism. I would like to ask a serious question. Is it possible to have socialism without totalitarianism?
summary: Corporations are destroying the world, socialism is the only answer.
