Presenter is not me, and I claim no credit, but wowzah Scott Galloway really crystalizes and cements some notions I’ve picked up from the punk side of solarpunk.

    Nah, this guy things pro palestinian protestors are anti-semites, and thinks andrew yang is a genius. maybe he’s genuine but sounds like a grift, I mean he sells new age “how to feel happy” type books

      on top of that, this whole plea to the rich fucks in the audience is just gonna make them think “you’re right, I do need to think about my children. I better amass as much wealth as possible, so that no matter how fucked the world gets, my children in particular can buy their way to the best life.”

        Interesting perspective. I didn’t hear that message at all, but rather that we need to seriously review who gets the lion’s share of our (USA) state and federal taxes. I can see how the message you quoted could be extrapolated from his presentation, but it seems to me that it would be a misunderstanding of the goal of this presentation.

          It doesn’t matter what he intended. It matters what actions his audience will take.

      Thanks for the input. I’m largely unaware of his other work outside this Ted talk and one other interview on the same topic.
