  • Dennis Prager and John reflect on how affluence and secularism has led to radical environmentalism amongst our society's elite. In the absence of transcendent meaning, the notion of 'saving the world' is alluring.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.
    John believes proper, robust dialogue is necessary if we are to maintain our social strength and cohesion. As he puts it; "You cannot get good public policy out of a bad public debate."

    I've had a similar thought too in the past.....
    What else can they do? Go to the beach in the sun? Find a job at McDonalds?
    I thought about this because i knew a guy (single) with a really successful business that pretty much ran itself..... He had literally nothing to do... and used to potter about... and then he volunteered at a local buddhist centre in the shop.
    I totally agree with him about that side of things. Being rich and bored makes some ppl go insane. look at Gates - the WEF ppl... etc.
    And none of these people are exceptionally intelligent. Not at all. If anything... despite their travels and even education - can be extremely dim and/or short sighted - but people equate being rich with being clever.

My hope is that the far left splits from the Democratic party and starts a third party so we can fully ID who are the loons!!!

    One way I get a little satisfaction is to NEVER pay money for a movie with Leonardo DEE-STUPIDO or anyone in hollywood doing the same thing he does. My list also includes the communist Ben Affleck and anyone with his values. Robert Dinero is definitely on my list for not giving money for a movie with him in it. Even the guy that acted like mister nice guy while in court (yes Johnny Depp). People forget he stood behind a podium and said "when is the last time a president was assassinated". So I wasn't cheering him on. It's nice being set free from hollywood and not giving money to see their movies.

    This man probably hasn't read a single page of any actual philosophical or sociological work, I don't think he even knows who Hegel or Marx were (but I think that the americans who know who they were can be counted with the fingers of one hand) and still talks a lot about dialectical materialsim without even knowing its name, and this honestly is extremly funny for me.

    Saving the world from extinction? Think of “Building Love among Religions”. Try to understand what is love and what kind of love is the best to build among the boring peoples and others.For that, research and development of GODS’ LOVE is a must.The understanding of God’s love is extinct already along with some valuable teachings of religious originators’ teachings.The best and most important teachings about GODS’ LOVE is extinct millenniums ago. Be careful of the difference between GODS’ AND GOD’S LOVE.
