Haier is brilliant—and Lex courageously articulated the questions that had long been on (at least) MY mind.  Thank you for doing the right thing for the world on this subject (TALKING about it).  Integrating changes based on facts is the best path forward if the goal is to improve our species' lot before we go the way of the dodo.  I agree it won't be easy to broadly introduce what a century of research, and mountains of peer-reviewed studies, conclude on this matter.  But if respect, compassion and genuine understanding are the goals—what does humanity stand to gain by maintaining the status quo? Empirical, objective conclusions may not jive with the 50 years of brainwashing we've been subjected to (at least those of us in the West), but we've exhausted the arguments put forward by our ideologically well-meaning brethren at this point.  It's time to lead with our hearts and heads, instead of just our hearts. My hat is off to Haier and Fridman for their candor and bravery.  Thank you!
