thanks professor snyder again. i believe in “it’s better to be happy than right”. i agree about time spent on internet , buy a news subscription etc. what i can’t seem to crack is where did all the good people go. my big let down is my own self created isolation. i do have a wonderful wife to share our common interests and hash out where we go when the shit really hits the fan. fyi: retired-spoiled californian.
I don't think a thinking person can really be happy if they are living in an illusion. The solution is to either chop off your frontal lobe or look for happiness for short periods of time in the small things and in personal relationships. The sun on a spring day. The first dahlia. The beaches on Kangaroo Island. The little fish swimming in the small lagoon near the beach on Kangaroo Island. There are some good people left - I believe most of the posters on this video are amongst them. I am a 50 year old Australian. Australians are even more spoiled than Americans.
He’s talking about themes that are very heavy in his book from around 2017 so my guess is then. If so, he was pretty prescient. EDIT: the talk is linked in the description. Looks like 2018. Definitely no later.
This man is such an inspired genius. Thank you for uploading

Many people voted Brexit to protect the British pound and to regain control over our laws and borders. This has yet to happen.
People never asked WHO will "take back control" in real life - the "little guy," or the superriches, banks and big corporations?
Does anyone know when is this lecture from?
