With all due respect though this man has read an immense amount and probably knows more facts than most of us commenting here, nevertheless he comes across as an extremely one-dimensional thinker," sprouting one cliche after the other. <br>For example around <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCkkjnpS2f8&amp;t=1h04m00s"">1:04:00</a> where he goes on about capitalism being better than communism. That kind of argument is so utterly boring in the present day context where you could make all sorts of arguments about how capitalism has not just caused an incredibly skewed outlook on life (where money is God and is considered the most important deciding factor in who has power) ", not just caused humans to have an incredibly reduced consciousness (just look at the billions watching pure unadulterated garbage on Netflix or being obsessed with celebrities and Super bowl), but is on the verge of destroying the entire planet through systems of production that wipe-out biodiversity and causing massive pollution and global warming.<br>It's not a matter of capitalism  being better than communism (jaw snapping yawn). It's a matter of having a conversation with each other to create alternative ways of living and organizing things.. Both of these "systems" if one could even speak of them are sick to the core.<br>Many have woken up. Sadly Stephen is still asleep in the old ways of thinking. But it's always nice to have someone with lots of facts up their sleeve and thanks for that. He obviously has a passion for knowledge.<br>Goodwill and gratitude to both speakers. But this isn't the kind of conversation most pressing in these urgent times.
